AHAHAH I didn’t think so either, but now I’m emotional. Thank you!

3:07 - WHOA WHOA Pierre! The books aren't to blame ;-; The fact he deliberately threw some off the shelves is just BGFHBGFJ and then he lit them ON FIRE PIERRE NOOO PROPERTY DAMAGES! 3:11 - You are right, you are very right and you're also very much in a building on fire. The imagery is fantastic! Opening the curtains letting the light in, telling yourself you'll stop living in ignorance bUT OPENING THE WINDOWS IS MAKING THE FIRE WORSE PIERRE NO! 3:12 - This man KICKED THE DOOR OPEN. He is on fire. Metaphorically. God I love how DYNAMIC ALL OF THIS IS YES YES I Do not want to pause bUT I MUST FOR SCIENCE! 3:15 - He just tore those boards off how strong IS he! And speaking of boards! Boarded up windows?! Getting more and more intriguing his backstory 3:18 - DELICIOUS IMAGERY YES YES YOUR WAY OF STORYTELLING IS SO FUCKIN GOOOOOOD 3:25 - That entire sequence is perfection what can I say? except your welc- thank you for making this gloriousness and sharing it ;-; 3:27 - YES YEEES (i literally did yell that outloud) THE CLOSE UP ON HIS BARE FEET, THE BEAT! THE WALKING! YES YOU WALK PIERRE! YOU WALK AS YOU SING THAT YOU WILL WRITE GOD! Perfect, the matching the beat you do that so well so perfect I LOVE *flips* 3:32 - I CAN'T BREATHE! THIS IS ALL JUST TOO EPIC FOR ME TO HANDLE! All the movements, the fkin CROSSED OUT EYES TEH DROOL OH MY GOD!! HE HATES WHAT HE USED TO BE SO MUCH AAAA GBFDHBGDJGDF 3:39 - IM sounding like a brocken record but the expression!! PIERRE SAYS "FUCK LOOKING PRETTY ITS USELESS IF THATS ALL YOU HAVE" 3:36 - BUT ALSO the church seats are empty on his "funeral", do I smell SIGNIFICANCE IN THAT? Yes, Yes I do. Is there actually? Probably not BHJGFBHJGBHJ 3:43 - HE LEGIT JUST CLIMBS OUT OF THE COFFIN! I LOVE how you use the metaphors and the imagery caused by them as a seamless way to continue ITS JUST SO PERFECT 3:46 - He feels so *free* like his movements arent as much anger anymore as they are determined as fuck. I mean opening double doors in that way?? *chef kiss* and the BIRDS! Yes free as a bird he is~ 3:47 - No sir I shall NOT pass up this chimney and its smoke no matter how FAST YOU GO 3:48 - and the SMOKE seamless into the darkness of his own mind AAAAAAAAAAAA Im going to DIE by the end of this 3:54 - oh shit the smoke has become sentient! But no no ofc not, thats his own thoughts and mind about to beat him to death with an AXE BGFDHBDF 3:58 - HHHHH HE WAS WHITE AND NOW HE'S ENTIRELY IN THE SMOKE AND ASHES TONE!! MMM *FLIPS* 4:00 - OOF this man just got shOT 4:01 - THE FOOT THE TWIST AND THE SHOOOOOOOOOOES!!!!!! 4:08 - This is a very important imagery. He is NOT the one with the gun! Oh and then it switches! A soldier and an execution, maybe? *GASP* WAS PIERRE FRRRRAMED? Did he believe he did something when he didn't actually? Twisty twisty road 4:16 - Things be calming down and the smoke and ashes tone has lightened up a bit. *PHEW* I feel like I too need to take a breath BHGDFBHJGF 4:30 - i feel so emotional..look at him ;-; ahhh that face! 4:33 - hHHHH THE CHORUS FUCK ME UP! ANGEEEEEEEELS and the fireplace - wait...wait a second. Was that match he threw before into the fireplace?! HOLD ON A SECOND GODDAMN YOU BAMBOOZELED ME SO HARD bhBHJDFBHJGFDBJ 4:48 - Yes you *can* fall in love with writing *nods* 5:06 - OH SHIT HE THREW THE BOOK IN THE FIRE!! No more sleeping pierre! ITS TIME TO WAKE UP (also in coming the ending which absolutely destroyed mE) 5:12 - Oh thats very intriguing! The doorway he was about to go through was filled with the dust and ashes motif but then he turned around towards the window! And outside which was just a second ago filled with dust and ashes and fell of a roof! suddenly is the exact opposite because its real life and not in his head YEA PIERRE WE ARE NOT STAYING A SHUT IN GFBHGFBGFD where is my mind going XDD 5:18 - Just in that was not young Pierre (i realized that the first time i watched it and when i started this i completely forgot and EVIDENTALLY I MADE THE SAME MISTAKE BHDFBHJDF) 5:20 - Ahhh all the different people and NOW HE'S ONE OF THEM! He's allowing himself to be one of them eeeeee 5:26- YAASSS LIFT THAT WINDOW! I AM READY! I AM REAAADY 5:29 - FLASHBACK FLASHBACK FLASHBACK FLASHBACK!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is what happened PRIOR to this entire dream sequence ISN'T IT!? 5:30 - DOGGO! 5:35 - The fuckin flashing images AAAA THEY TELL THE STORYYYYY 5:36 - Ack..that makes me so sad ;-; noooooo 5:42 - Climbing up and up and up and up, metaphorically trying to climb out of the pit he drank himself into AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ALL OF HIS VICES SEEM SO MUCH BIGGER THAN HIIIIIIM!!!!! 6:03 - THIS HIT THE EXACT SAME FEELING AS THE FIRST TIME I GOT TENSED UP AGAIN GODDAMN IT THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD 6:14 - goddamn this so fucking good and also I SEE THAT BIRD WING FROM THE CABINET LIGHNING UP WITH HIS BACK I SEE YOU!! - JESUS FUCK THAT WAS SO GOOD excuse me while I put this on loop now.

@@cheshireshadow518 Oh hello! I see you have conjured another wall of oh so beautiful thoughts. Thank you very much beforehand. I am so grateful that this piece of something is worth such a detailed dissertation Alrighty I’m excited to see from the outside pov let’s gooooooo NO IT'S NOT ANNOYING I'M HOLY HELL FLATTERED EVERY TIME also I’m glad you enjoy doing this so much! - Lmao yeah, I like ruining the mood nice and early. Captions being useful? Who needs that?? 0:13 I read that the right way twice … gut in the punch, seems legit 0:26 Josh Groban is Pierre’s Broadway actor, he’s great. Dave Malloy (the original) I love love love too 0:36 yes Pierre is nice and rich, has time to contemplate these trivialities like being good enough 0:40 OH that’s a good point, taking off the shoes to connect with nature… My thoughts were: a. It would be neat that he takes them off on the principle of metaphor and b. Reference to unfortunate circumstances that befall him in the book where he does not wear shoes and Tolstoy described those foot sores in way too much detail 0:48 I’m glad it’s coming together even if you don’t know the context lmao 0:49 that duel was a pretty fresh memory but a memory regardless 0:53 I feel like I’m being found out. Lmao yes, no drinking and firing shots over 40mph, we talked about this... 1:26 hold on what? Eyebrows??. gotta rewatch this hold on. Ok lol yeah for me eyebrows are way more important than eyes. Sometimes too lazy to draw eyes, BUT THERE WILL BE BROWS 1:24 yeah ur right, inception time ahahaha I sincerely hope it’s not TOO confusing 1:33 yup it’s his dear old rich dad, oh god nooo too much inception if he’s mourning for himself… interesting to think about though 1:38 TREES ARE MY CALLING also yeah sorry, rip nature, become columns for me Ohhh that makes sense, ahaha this is when Pierre (manipulated by people who wanted his newfound wealth), proposed to the most beautiful lady in Moscow (Helene). Helene (book version) knows just how to act properly in society always,,, hence the appropriate expressions instead of… idk pain. Also in the book, she stops him from kissing her hand and she kisses his lips instead. I think I could have made those poses clearer. Yeah it’s a complicated Russian novel Anyways thank you! 1:44 oh Pierre has so many milk cartons of self-loathing. He opens his fridge and that’s all he sees in there 1:56 did Pierre see all these events? Who knows? Stage Pierre might have seen these people, perhaps not book Pierre. But we’re all made of the same stuff - dust and ashes, and in this state (absolutely drunk) who could say? 2:06 don’t inject sand kids, don’t be like me 👍 2:14 oh ok well, I’m shook. You got it, yes he never loved and she's very much in love 2;27 war and love? War and peace! 2:33 this is Andrei - Pierre's best friend who went to war. Now I’m thinking about a version of this musical where everyone is Pierre and constantly going through an emo phase 2:35 hhh thank you! This part of the book where Andrei (spoilers) Felt such love for his fellow humans and for a man who had wronged him - that only the brink of death can give him sticks with me forever 2:46 awwwww yes so many hands. Pierre famously has big red hands lmao. Also, your interpretations are popping off hahaha consequences ehhh? Yes, yes his bursts of violence do lead to some ..uh consequences… Lmao this is pretty much where I had to split the rendering for this video, I could only render one half at a time without it crashing so perfecto comment break 3:07 it’s ok to burn - they’re mind books… or is that worse? Oh, I just realized Fahrenheit 451 is applicable here as well, for the literal BOOK BURNING that’s happening… I included the quote for completely different reasons lol 3:12 pausing FOR SCIENCE! 3:15 boarded windows, what a hermit 3:25 your welcome ~~~ for the sun, the sea, and the sky.. or something lol I don’t know this song *frustration * 3:27 lots of hands and feet brother, that’s how we *move*! 3:32 I’m actually shaking from LMAOI forgot I put that dead framed Pierre there and was wondering what the hell you were going on about hhhhh Random info: This is a very bad reference to one of the official photoshoots of Pierre and his accordion 3:36 actually yes, the empty funeral hall was intentional, for big self loathe energy 3:47 you caught a chimney! 3:54 YES that’s him beating himself, also, obscure and badly drawn ref to another beating in the musical for those who’ve seen the studied the bootleg frame by frame 😂 4:08 yes I like making it confusing, shot1 is the duel that just happened in the musical(previous song), then second, ref to war and peace, where he was um, spoilers - is taken prisoner and to the execution which was a major turning point for him 4:33 did he light this fireplace while in his 3rd layer of inception HMMMMMM 5:12 I'M GLAD YOUR MIND IS GOING AT ALL LMAO but yes no more being a shut-in 5:20 ONE OF US, ONE OF US man I didn’t think of this part as Pierre becoming one of them, or did I? I guess I never verbalized it to myself but what else could it be? Me confused ashjd 5:30 correction - BABY-BEAR-O that frame is horrible sketchy I apologize WE ARE A GOD AND ANGELS WEEP Thank you for that journey holy crap, I’m surprised you found so much stuff and this animatic is semi-coherent despite all the obscure book and musical refs I attempted to stuff in! Thank you for writing and most of all, thank you for feeling!!

@@sealbatross Me: *starts listening to the musical because why the hell not?* The musical: It's a complicated Russian novel Me, losing it: WAIT A SECOND SEAL WAS QUOTING IT BGFDHBGDFHGFD edit: I LOVE HOW THEY'RE DOING THE THING! Where after every introduction they list every single one all over again I LOVE Omg okay no no no im not gonna gush about every single thing in here no sir RESTRAINT i must have it
