ERROR // DSMP AMV

WHY AM I FEELING SO MANY EMOTIONS OVER A MINECRAFT SERVER WTF

Wilbur's dancing sequence at the end where he dances with everybody breaks my heart in a way that can't be put into words

Damm despite wilbur being an awful person this still hits so hard

2:54 "If I had another hundred lives, I think I would choose to be Technoblade again every single time, as those were the happiest years of my life."

what makes it Sadder is that even though its all the people wilbur loved, all their solo parts focus on how their relationships with him deteriorated :( like with tubbo and techno it's the festival -- being left to die and being left to kill, respectively. with phil it's when he had to kill him. with eret it's how he betrayed him for the crown, with fundy it's fundy leaving him, with niki it's how they were separated and how she felt like he left her to fall alone. tommy is the only one that relives good memories, but he's also crying all the way through, maybe representing how he never let his relationship with wilbur falter even when it hurt him? either way. ouch. props to you mate

I’m not sure if this was intended, but Tommy and Wilbur never look at each other in the eyes, as they didn’t see eye to eye on everything in the election, lmangurg, Pogtopia, or now.

coming back here after the recent events... i dont think i could understand all the characters' feelings better than i do now ...and that's just as comforting as it is sad

Watching this animation again after the recent events after the recent events of both my life and the lives of some of the DSMP animations makes me so sad that I feel like breaking down like the song describes, but I can't. I miss 2020 so much. No matter how crappy the year seemed at the time, those years of the DSMP were the years that I felt most free. Looking back at it, I may have been going through things, but the memories make me want to go back.

oh oh i just noticed how wilbur's eyes change colour to match the others' colour schemes! yellow with niki, orange with fundy, green with phil, and then brown as himself... what a lovely little detail :D

this is so good 🥺

Watching this after all the allegations and Techno's passing..... this hits differently now. My heart goes out to Alex's family and all of the victims. ❤

I love that Phil, Nikki and Fundy see Wilbur’s eyes differently. I’m not quite sure if Nikki and Fundy see his eyes the same actually, but it kind of seems a bit more orange for Fundy, which would fit my theory that they all see his eyes their color. (Nikki yellow, Phil green, ect.) I like to think that it shows that their memory of him has been warped to fit the image they want/need to have of him. :)

1:13 NOT THE TOMMY NOT KNOWING HOW TO TIE HIS SHOE BECAUSE NO ONE TAUGHT HIM HEAD CANNON 💔💔

The timing with the lyrics here 2:24 "Tell me am i just dreaming" and it has Fundy on the screen. his lore has been about dreaming but its so much more than just dreaming

I miss techno. The music and dances, and the emotional turmoil we've all been going through, i just can't stop crying.

This animatic will always hold me at the center of my heart. I cry while watching it, especially now. Thank you to this community everyone, it's about the characters we all love, despite the faults of their creators. :')🩷

So many people had c!Wilbur in there life some how Fundy:Father Phil:son Niki:close friend Tommy:brother Techno:brother(sorta) Tubbo:Friend Eret:Ally And so forth

The part from 0:00 to 5:06 is my personal favourite :)

I love how this highlights Wilbur’s relationships with everyone he betrayed. It feels like they’re all saying goodbye to him, trying to figure out what went wrong. So beautiful.

My favorite things about this are: 1. Colors 2. Fitting lyrics 3. Hard-hitting expressions 4. Just so much emotion. 5. Smooth animations 6. Nice and flowing transitions 7. Honestly everything

I love how we see each character’s relationship with Wilbur- how he impacted their lives, and the state it left them in (especially Wilbur and Philza- love the merging of the lore and what happens to someone when they actually die in Minecraft, where he dissolved after being stabbed) in the end, only to eventually see what he himself wanted? And the train scene caught me by surprise, I love all of it. Brilliant animation

The part where Tommy breaks down and then gathers himself hits really hard. He always had to gather himself for others to keep his image strong, but he really had gone through a lot.

i love how each wilbur you see has eyes of the person's color, showing they each have their own perspective of him. like seriously!!! the yellow-eyed wilbur dancing with niki, the loving and caring man she remembers, that green-eyed baby in phil's vision, showing he'll always think of him as his baby, and tommy looking up to a rebellious and bright leader! LIKE AAAAA

I can't express my love for this animation and all its symbolism so I'm just going to flail about my favourite parts here: 0:32 where Tubbo is dancing with all the people who ended up using him in the end; they are all made of the same green strings tying around his wrists. And in the end Pogtopia-era Wilbur is one of them, even though the old Wilbur never would've hurt Tommy's best friend. 1:09 Tommy getting back up because even when he's lost everything, he still has to keep pushing no matter how broken he is. This is in sharp contrast to Wilbur, who self-destructed and took out everyone around him. 1:24 Tommy holding Wilbur's hand as he passes from L'Manberg founder to Pogtopian rebel to Ghostbur, because he never stopped caring about him even when Wilbur did. 1:41 Niki goes from happily sewing the flag by candlelight to a later scene where she is crying over its burnt remains, candle out. She just wanted to be happy and peaceful, but the constant war took that from her. 1:56 where Niki falls but Wilbur catches her, they both clearly care about each other, but when Wilbur disappears she falls backwards with a smile. If no one is there to catch her anymore, then why shouldn't she fall? 3:03 Techno's desperation as everyone betrays him by immediately installing Tommy and Tubbo as "president elect" even though they didn't win any election and he promised to help overthrow a government and they threw that back in his face. The emotions captured in that clip are so perfect I can't even- 3:24 Phil hugging a young Wilbur and turning away as the older versions of him walk across the background, showing how Phil wasn't there for his son when he needed it the most. 3:39 Wilbur fades away in Phil's arms as he starts to cry, idk why this scene hit me so hard but it did it was so well animated. 3:48 Wilbur's transformation from pre-L'Manberg to Pogtopia, his facial expressions are so on point. He goes from naively innocent to satisfied and content to desperate and malicious to a washed-out ghost trying to remember his past. 4:00 this entire set of transitions is amazing, how did you do this, they're all so happy together why couldn't we have had this in canon istg- 4:43 the red outline of Revivebur and the red light showing Ghostbur's desperate handprints on the train window, the white streak of hair, the lack of music except for the rattling of the train, everything is so grim. 4:54 Wilbur's vicious smile showing he's not the same Wilbur everyone knew and wanted back, he's even more insane and broken now and it's horrifying, especially paired with that laugh. This has been my essay I can't flail about this animatic enough there are so many things I didn't write in this comment this is so good.

OK CAN WE JUST TAKE A SEC TO APPRECIATE HOW SMOOTH THAT WAS AND THE MUSIC! IT WAS JUST SO GOOD!!!!!

A moment of silence for everyone that left by the credit part.

I'm not even lying, this Minecraft server is the only reason I got into Minecraft more and I'm grateful 😭 I miss techno so much

this made me cry for so many different reasons. Wilbur had so many relationships that could have been so beautiful. Tubbo looked up to him, Tommy loved him to the point of breaking himself just to see him smile, Niki wanted to see him thrive with her, fundy just wanted a stable father figure, Eret regretted his betrayal still trying to mend their relationship, techno felt used and wanted to be recognized as his own person, and Phil just wanted to see him happy. Wilbur threw that all away as his insanity and greed overcame him. And now as revive!bur, he is further destroying those relationships. we see what could have happened had he been able to recover from his mental state, and had he been able to heal. but he throws it away for the greed and insanity that has consumed him. ..... I miss the first wilbur.

Can we talk about how during the transitions at the start Tommy was the only one who danced with Ghostbur?

I’ve noticed in a lot of your animatics that there’s a theme of someone hugging another person before they disappear. They’re never able to touch or hold the people that they love, and it gets me every time

It's now 2024 and the flower at Technoblades part in the video now means something else. Rest in peace Technoblade we miss you. It's been about 2 years now. Miss you legend❤

What gets me every time is when Wilbur and Niki is dancing and Wilbur disappears. The smile on Niki’s face when she’s falling is tragic. The lyrics match perfectly there. And like do I even need to mention how amazing the animation is? I love the whole video to shreds.

THE WHOLE ANIMATION’S AMAZING. THE MUSIC, THE PEOPLE, THE COLORS, THE STORY, EVERYTHING-

We all agree the symbolism of Wilbur saying "I wish I played keys that well" at the end is showing his perspective, him saying the flow of the dance was never that good and the characters remember times with him through rose tinted glasses but he was never that perfect, right? And the dances worked, but weren't that beautiful?

The moment at 2:12 where just as Eret's tear hits the floor, the image of him all dolled up in grand wear, with the crown and outfit, fades away to reveal Eret crying in the butler-like outfit is a lovely detail to me. Wouldn't have caught it if I wasn't doing one of my 'Watch animatics at 0.25 speed to catch little details' deals. Another that I kinda noticed on normal speed but was more pronounced on 0.25 was how when Tubbo is dancing with Dream, Schlatt, then Wilbur, they all shared this green line as they morphed with one another. This green line is then shown to be wrapped tightly around Tubbo's wrist and I find it a nice way to link that those three controlled and manipulated Tubbo :3 Thank you so much for making this! It's such a beautiful animatic and shows everyone's characters flawlessly. There are so many details that just heighten the beauty of this animatic that happens right under our noses and that is a testament to your level of skill! Once again, thank you so much for creating this masterpiece~

I really love when Wilbur dances with Niki, they were happy for that brief moment. Just like In lore. I also like when it shows all of Wilbur's evolutions, what he's become over the years. Followed by him dancing with the ones he loved.

I’m sorry but this is unironically my favorite Dream SMP animatic, all the little details and overall flow make it absolutely immaculate. My favorite part is also how Wilbur danced with the Tubbo, Tommy, and Niki showing the relationship he had with the three of them And after how Fundy walked away from Wilbur, not as a hatred type of way but showing him how he grew up. AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE ENDING Thank you so much for this actual gift and I swear if this doesn’t have over a million views by tomorrow i’m leaving the internet

I am literally crying rn. No joke. I watched this 3 hours ago and thought “oh that’s so good!” Made a comment about smooth animation, then left to do some homework. Now, I’ve come back to rewatch it. I saw the pain of the Dream smp characters, and I felt pain inside myself too. I can relate to these characters so much with all the grief they feel connected over one person. I’m just taken aback. This song combined with these animations made me feel so much sadness and regret for not caring enough. Sorry if this comment is long, but I just wanted to share. This animation is so good! Imma rewatch this now, ya know, just to go cry some more

Bro i remember watching this 2 yrs ago crying

Here are the lyrics for anyone that wants it, because the captions are in Vietnamese lol Can you see my wretched tears? Burning in my eyes now clear All life’s vivid colors are blurring Tell me exactly what you’re leaving behind I call your name as i fall from life The blue and red and white all are Blurring with the light and i Shout within this world that is muted Tell me exactly what you are looking for I chase your shadow, collapsing more Give me the end these tears have bore Tell me, am i brеaking down? All i am is broken now Even so i want to keep On breathing, i’m brеathing Hey tell me if i just saw you Like the dreams i have in my solitude My words now can’t even reach you Error On a distant day, empty Tender light had shone warmly Flooding all the sky with its color Tell me exactly what is the choice you made Tears fill my eyes as i lie in wait The consciousness that floats on by Slowly starts to leave and i Blur away completely to nothing Tell me exactly what you’re comparing to It’s sad, but i can’t recall it’s hue When will this life go cold and mute? Tell me, am i still the same? Nothing left of me remains Even so i want to keep On breathing, i’m breathing Hey tell me am i just dreaming? Is this time the last we are meeting? My words are silent yet weeping Error Even if i give away Even if i lose some day Even if my memories fade I’d still wish the same I continue restlessly Kill the error killing me Laughing out so desperately Error Tell me, am i breaking down? Do you know what’s broken now? Even so the tears i cry Are hurting, i’m hurting Hey tell me did my words reach you? That last song i sang in my solitude The colored words that i gave you Are gone and are blurring my eyes are burning Tell me, am i breaking down? All i am is broken now Even so i want to keep On breathing, just breathing Hey tell me if i just saw you Like the dreams i have in my solitude My words now can’t even reach you Error

I've watched this so many times and I'm still impressed by how smooth the transitions and animations are. my personal faves : - tubbo dances with dream, schlatt and wilbur -tommy hand's touching different era of wilbur -NIKI'S SKIRT???????>/ WTF THAT'S SO SATISFYING TO SEE -niki skirt transition to lmanburg flag -transition of the book falling to niki's in wilbur arms and everything on that scene OH MY G O D YOU POTRAY THEIR FRIENDSHIP SOOOOO BEAUTIFULLY PAINFUL IM -the flower to techno dances -philza hugging little wilbur to philza hugging wilbur that he killed -wilbur playing piano -the whole wilbur dances make me sobs -THE LIGHT IN TRAIN, THE WHITE STREAK IN WILBUR'S HAIR AND THE BLUE HANDPRINTS ON THE WINDOW so yeah in conclusion this animation is amazing and brilliant, 11 out of 10 gonna bawling my eyes to this again and again

IVE WATCHED THIS SO MANY TIMES AND IT NEVER GETS BORING

Can you see my wretched tears? Burning in my eyes now clear All life’s vivid colors are blurring Tell me exactly what you’re leaving behind I call your name as I fall from life The blue and red and white all are Blurring with the light and I Shout within this world that is muted Tell me exactly what you are looking for I chase your shadow, collapsing more Give me the end these tears have bore Tell me, am I breaking down?

My words now can’t even reach you -ERROR just in case people like me wanted to sing along

I love the little details in this! Niki's eye dilation at 2:04 The little "bonk" that appears next to the flower at 2:40 is both hilarious and adorable My favorite part though is when Ghostbur is playing the piano and slamming on the keys. I play piano and in basically every case lifting your hands that far above the keys is a no-go, it just looks cool in movies and such, so seeing him playing the piano like that really shows how emotional he is in that moment. It's a really good visual metaphor of how hard he's trying to remember what's happened. Then after that, the happy version of the previous animation plays out, showing how Ghostbur only remembers (and is "playing") the happy things from the times that the rest of the characters remember bad things. No matter how many times or how hard he plays the song, that's all he can remember. Basing this idea off of another comment by Roni Raz: So, Revivebur's comment at the end shows that he wishes that Gostbur's song was how it had played out, and that he wishes that he had done that well, but he messed up. (Also my own personal HC (maybe it's canon, but I'm not that familiar with the early days of the SMP lore) is that Wilbur knew he had become a bad person and a monster at the end, a major reason why he demanded Phil kill him, because he believed that he could only do bad things to the ones he cares about.)

Oh my god the part where Will dropped Niki.... he let her down ;_; Oh and the way you draw Techno is just gorgeous

Art inspiration 📈📈📈📈📈 Seriously, Niki’s skirt is so mesmerizing and the dancing animation has my heart

im not into dsmp anymore, havent been for a while now, but i still find myself coming back to this because it's just such an incredible piece of art. Truly inspiring

i have been avoiding this fandom since the news came out about wilbur. i have been avoiding coming back to anything that reminded me of that part of my life, and yet i find myself coming back to this amv. this is just everything i ever loved about the dsmp, and it really reminds me of the reason that i loved it in the first place. l’manberg will always live on in my heart, even with everything that’s happened since. i cried again watching this. i wish i could in some way express just how much this amv means to me, but i can’t.

Damn, you did put a lot of meaning into this animation, a hell of a lot Astonishing homage to the SMP, hope you get all the recognition you deserve after so much (nicely done) work

The part on 3:59 always makes me think of when Wil said on the days where he doesn’t want to get up but he does bc of Tommy just makes me smile at the dynamic between them

I can't believe people change when they grow up, its so sad seeing them happy when they were children, everyone was nice when you're young but we all have to grow up, feel the pain, its so sad.. the further you go into this video you can see that the characters in the SMP used to be so joyful, happy, not worrying that wilbur will blow up the country and end up dying after words. I'm sad and happy that they grew up. Thank you Dream to make this server, Thank you Dream to start all of this. If Dream didn't existed then we wouldn't have this masterpiece.. Thank you. It was never ment to be..

I love the message that this animation sends. "Don't take your loved ones for granted". It shows how happy they were when they were with Wilbur and how they loved him for helping them through everything, but then it also shows how he hurt them and now they're dancing alone.

Dammit, I've watched this too many times not to do a full analysis. Now I don't do this normally so I may gets things wrong or leave things out. At first we see a black and white Wilbur playing the piano. His eyes are grey which I think is actually important to note. Than first off we see Tubbo dancing alone. The lyrics say "Can you see my wretched tears? Burning in a light now clear. All the vivid colours now blurring." Which is a lyrics I want to back onto later. We see him dancing with Dream and JSchlatt to finally stop and pause on Wilbur. Wilbur here is fully coloured which I think is meant to show he is the subject, hence why Dream, JSchlatt and even somewhat himself isn't fully coloured.Also I think fully coloured things represent memory in this animatic as well. Saying this is his memory of Wilbur. We then see them hold each other's hand only for Wilbur to disappear, showing how he trusted Wilbur, only to be let down. We then see Tubbo coloured as he is in his execution box, a memory and now the subject, with temporary strings, showing how he gets used, and is a 'pawn'. This scene was smart since technically Tubbo asked Wilbur if he would be okay and Wilbur reassured him he would be alright. He trust Wilbur's words so he wasn't afraid yet that led to his demise. Now back to the lyric I mentioned earlier. That lyric ironically matches this scene, with Tubbo crying, when he looks at Tommy the green colour behind him is a bright light, and the fact it mentions colours reminds how Tubbo was 'executed with colour'. "I chase your shadow" as he reaches towards Tommy which I believe is now a reference to their relationship, with Tubbo being consider Tommy's sidekick/shadow. "As I collapsing more" with the memory ending as by that time he would have died/blacked out. We also see the light disappear from his eyes which is used to represent death. His head falls numbly for us to see Tommy crying, (brilliant transition btw), as if he just watched Tubbo die. We see Tommy on his knees with the lyrics "tell me am I breaking down?" Which I believe is a reference to how he is a child with way too much weight. We then see him mouth. "all I am is broken now" which I think is like the fact he says he's not who he wants to be anymore. And saying he's not himself, then we see him get up and dance, which now I believe dancing is meant to symbolise being used, mainly by Wilbur. Him not having his laces done is a sweet detail. We then see him dancing with Wilbur, or well L'mabur, the Wilbur he wants, the one he misses, his 'brother'. It then shows the l'manburg times when it was good, considering Eret is also here, stating this was before the betrayal, everyone looks happy here. It's a memory since it's almost fully coloured, with the subjects being Tommy and Wilbur, which is why the others aren't coloured. We then go back to 'normal' Tommy with h reaching his hand out to each Wilbur, being by his side. Almost the entire time Tommy was crying which I think is bittersweet. "My words now can't even reach you" which hits their current relationship, and some of their past, with Wilbur no longer listening to Tommy, when Tommy just wants to help. After no one accepts his hand we then see NIKI! Niki starts to dance, suggesting she has been used as well, which is something she states herself, (btw her design is great). We then do a beautiful transition to her sewing the flag, since she's the one who made it. She made the flag for L'manburg, for Wilbur. We then see the flag burnt and destroyed, since Fundy burnt it. We then see her writing in her diary, which shows her lore, as it transitions to another Niki, now holding her diary. Important to note that this Niki and the l'manburg Niki were in colour, since this is a memory. She then drops her book to show herself being caught by Wilbur, his eyes yellow since it's Niki, and I'm assuming his eyes would have been red for Tommy and Green for Tubbo. She then holds his face, taking in the sight of a man who is so different yet the same person "I can recall it's you" as stated in the lyrics (Edit: I just learnt that it's actually, 'I can recall it's hue' my mistake :) ). We then see her being dropped by Wilbur, showing how Wilbur let her down and failed her. (Edit: Someone pointed out in the comments that Niki fell because Wilbur disappear which can also show how Niki fell (spiral) after Wilbur's death.) Now I love how it transition to Eret and this one really stuck out to me. "Am I still the same?" Which is him questioning who they are, with them looking down at their coloured reflect of their past-self and I think this was also how they wanted to be, powerful, royal strong but most importantly, happy. Which when you transition to their normal self, they're definitely is not. They never gets up or stands up which I think could be a reference of how they is weighted down by their crown and guilt. We then see them in a kneeling position as if asking for forgiveness, but we never see Wilbur, since they never got it. Eret also never dances with Wilbur, showing how Wilbur never used him. We then see our favourite furry, Fundy. "Hey tell me am I still dreaming?" Which can be a reference to his lore and if he's actually seeing the man in front of him. We then see Fundy turn his back on his father, reference to his fake betrayal, with Wilbur looking at him with orange eyes, to turn away. Fundy never dances either, with the same reason as Eret. We then see a flower bloom as it shows many characters, Feral boys (no Big Q), Badlands, Quackity and Glatt, the three P's as I call them, HBomob, Callahan and Jackmanifold! These people Wilbur didn't affect as much but still effected none the less. We then see the Blade! Technoblade! With the flower going into his hair. Fading in his hair since it's no longer the subject. We then see him dance, with how Wilbur used him. We then see him look at his Pogotipa self, fully coloured hence a memory, to Tubbo becoming President, despite the fact that was exactly what Techno didn't want. We then see a spotlight on Techno, as we see a angered expression, wee see everyone else who isn't coloured and don't realise the mistake they made. He then pulls out a sword with stabbing it onto the (ground?) But I feel like this is meant to be a reference of how we was only considered 'The Blade's and as a weapon to used. He isn't. We never see Wilbur since in this memory Wilbur would've been at the button room, also showing how Techno never got to confront Wilbur. (Edit: A person replied saying how Technoblade never dances with Wilbur which could show how he wasn't just used by him, I thought to add this in.) Finally Dadza. We see him walking by young Tommy and Tubbo, to then young Techno, but they are not coloured since they are not the subject. "Tell me am I breaking down? Do you know what's broken now?" I feel like these Lyrics is Wilbur asking how much does he know, and asking if he is a bad person. We then see Phil stop Infront of young Wilbur. He pulls him into a hug as Wilbur, with mint eyes, hugs back. We then see memories of Wilbur getting older. "Tell me did my words reach you?" This feels like Wilbur askin for his father's appreciation as we know that Wilbur wondered if his father was proud of him. (Edit: This could also be about his letters that he sent to Phil.) We slowly see them turning as they transitions from this to Wilbur's Pogtopia clothes and Phil's coloured clothes. While Turing by the time it shows Pogtopia Wilbur in the background, Phil has his back towards him, since he doesn't know that Wilbur, he knows they other but not that one, "He not the Wil I used to know". We then see Wilbur dead, with now Phil holding his corpse. We then see Wilbur disappear as Philza slowly starts to grieve his lost. We then go back to Wilbur playing the piano. "All I am is broken now" as we see him transition from his of self to L'manburg, Pogbur, to the back and white version. His eyes are black and dead looking, since he's dead and no one is around him to remember times when he was still around. Then suddenly light comes into his eyes as he is coloured. He turns to see Tommy. This dancing I don't associate with being used, but rather, happiness. He dances with everyone, each dance different like his relationship with each of them. With Tommy more dragging brother like, to Tubbo taking it slow. To him twirling Niki, and a a 'just for fun dance' with Eret. To hugging his son as he then dances more professionally yet enjoying themselves with Techno. To finally being able to rest on his father. I believe this is the relationship he once had and misses with each individual. It then goes to white with it seemly like it's over NOPE. After the credits as the music dies down, we see Wilbur eye until we see him sitting on a train, with his Pogtopia version, with when a red light shines to see his revived version. With a blue mark on his chest as blue splatters behind him, a reference to him being stab, and we see blue handprints which I personally associate with Ghostbur. (Edit: Some in the comments also pointed out how the blue is related to Ghostbur how it was obvious that Ghostbur seemed panicked with the blue hands prints all over the place, unlike Wilbur who is fairly calm, to show they were two different people.) We see him looking to the side as he eventually becomes fully coloured, this time not a memory but I believe is real life, before you see that SCARY AF GRIN. WITH THAT LAUGH! That scared me so much. Claiming it was a sweet dream and that he can't play keys, saying that everything before hand was a dream which makes sense. Dreams usually consists of memories of the past and can explain why it seemed so odd. This also shows that despite him dreaming about, he doesn't believe he will get those relationships back. (Edit: someone suggested this was also him grieving his past in Limbo) And there we have it! Comment if I missed anything! Beautiful work!

Your ability to draw people dancing on their own like they are with another person is incredible. You should be feared

this made me cry over and over again

every once in a while i come back to cry at this. between the animation and the music, it never fails to make me shed at least a tear

Tommy's untied shoe, fundy's design, this is amazing.

DO YOU WANT TO SEE HOW HARD I CAN CRY???? Holy shit dude, THE ANIMATION, THE MUSIC CHOICE!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS?? This is so goddamn gorgeous and so well made, it's so worth the wait dude!

I love that everyone who dances dances with Wilbur at some point. It shows how everything ties back to him. How all of the problems can be directly or indirectly caused by him, and in extension from him l’manberg, even if he wasn’t the only one who made it he was still the one who began it.

I've watched this for far to many times and I've realized that there is little time where Phil's face is shown and my brain went "Maybe because Wilbur could be ashamed and can't look Philza in the eyes" or a "Maybe its because Phil is still grieving" anyways, this amv is amazing, the emotions are strong. Pog work!

If this doesn’t blow up I’m going to fist fight the RU-vid algorithm. Edit: I think I’ve accidentally started an army.

aside from how absolutely incredible and heartbreaking this is, can we also appreciate the small "bonk" text at 2:40?

its a shame the animation had to end at exactly 4:12. It was so good i wish there was more.

Watching this before saying goodbye to the DSMO forever. Last stream today people. This was a fun journey.

So. We’re crying tonight? That’s what you chose for my fate? This is absolutely a masterpiece

NOOO WHY DID YOU USE SUCH AN ICONIC WILBUR LAUGH I CANT TAKE THAT SERIOUSLY

I'LL NEVER FORGET THIS ANIMATION. THERE IS A ERROR - DSMP AMV HOLE SHAPED IN MY HEART.

Amazing that this video came out almost 2 years ago and it's still so good.

LYRICS: Can you see my wretched tears? Burning in my eyes now clear All life's vivid colors are blurring Tell me exactly what you're leaving behind I call your name as I fall from life The blue and red and white all are Blurring with the light and I Shout within the world that is muted Tell me exactly what you are looking for I chase your shadow, collapsing more Give me the end these tears have bore Tell me, am I breaking down? All I am is broken now Even so I want to keep on breathing Just breathing Hey tell me if I just saw you Like the dreams I have in my solitude My words now can't even reach you ERROR On a distant day, empty Tender light had shone warmly Flooding all the sky with its color Tell me exactly what is the choice you made Tears fill my eyes as I lie in wait The consciousness that floats on by Slowly starts to leave and I Blur away completely to nothing Tell me exactly what you're comparing to It's sad, but I can't recall it's you When will this life go cold and mute? Tell me, am I still the same? Nothing left of me remains Even so I want to keep on breathing I'm breathing Hey tell me am I just dreaming? Is this time the last we are meeting? My words are silent yet weeping ERROR Even if I give away Even if I lose some day Even if my memories fade I'd still wish the same I continue restlessly Kill the error killing me Laughing out so desperately ERROR Tell me, am I breaking down? Do you know what's broken now? Even so the tears I cry are hurting I'm hurting Hey tell me did my words reach you? That last song I sang in my solitude The colored words that I gave you Are gone and are blurring, my eyes are burning Tell me, am I breaking down? All I am is broken now Even so I want to keep on breathing Just breathing Hey tell me if I just saw you Like the dreams I have in my solitude My words now can't even reach you ERROR

Ok, ok. I've tried to write this comment a couple times now. I can not express enough how much i love this. Someone could totally write an essay about this. The animation is so smooth and captures everyone's personality and inner feelings about Wilbur. I also think this animation illustrates the creative turn the SMP's storyline has taken. The early days of Dream Smp animatics were dominated by Sad-ist, because the story was so world oriented. Emphasis was put on wars and battles, nations forming. However, I feel like this captures the more character oriented stories the SMP has nowadays. This animation doesn't really tell anything about the world of the SMP, instead it tells everything about the characters, their journeys and character arcs. Trurly a work of art. Thank you for coming to my TED-talk.

Found this animatic about a year ago and it will forever be one of my favorites no matter how far from the fandom I stray. Watching it until the end, it portrays the emotions perfectly. Watching as one character to the other goes, each with there own story, own emotions, and own thoughts, you managed to give them all their own. Without blending them together. I thank you so much for this animatic. Ps) The dancing is beautifully done and this animatic brings me so much joy and sadness at the same time. To me, this animatic goes right next to Sad-ist.

It's so sweet and sad and just a rush of emotions... and I'm over here laughing hysterically because it looked like Wilbur dropped Nikki

That scene with Wilbur dancing with tommy infront of everybody made me cry T.T this was so good the way you told how everybody's relationship with Wilbur affected them so much when he went crazy and died is brilliant and the way the animation is so smooth and so important to detail honestly makes this one of the BEST animatics I have ever seen. Thank you

WE NEED EVERYONE ON THE SMP TO SEE THIS NOW

2 years later, not into dsmp, video still SLAPS.

1/10, not enough Sally the Salmon. No I’m kidding. This is absolutely incredible!!

3:11 this part carries the most emotion for me. Just the way it shows how he lived with his children and Wilbur... Wow

your techno design has stolen my gender... But for real, this animation is just so beautiful and honestly gives me goosebumps every time I rewatch it, and it rivals Sadist with my favourite dsmp animatics/animations :)

I remember watching this the year it was made, and not knowing shit about what was happening besides Wilbur's death. but now, watching it a couple dozen more times, I know everything. I've been highly obsessed with the DSMP since it came out, and that's only gotten stronger, and I've learned the entire lore. This animation really captures the first lore plots, and it's amazing. Great job!! "Technoblade never dies." Rest In Peace King o7 you will be missed by millions if not billions

Ok in the past two days I’ve watched this like 5 times and i just can’t get over how much i love it Like it perfectly captures so many things The way Nikki fell and he caught her I just adore the animation of her dress and his jacket and just how it illustrates the complete trust she had in him and him disappearing and letting her fall it’s just so poetic And the way during the little flower montage u just captured everyone’s personalities and vibes so perfectly in just those single movements And the way the lines in the art changes when Wilbur dances with everyone a second time and it makes everything softer and he looks so happy And the way Phil’s colour changes as they turn and disappears again when Wilbur dies and the fear that’s just captured on Techno’s face when he kills Tubbo The way Tommy just picks himself up from the ground and slowly positions himself just captures the way he grieved and moved on after wilbur died so accurately The simplicity and clean aesthetic of this animatic not to even mention the amazing smoothness of it just elevates it even more And the fact that he’s playing the piano and at the end it was a dream and he says if only i could play the keys that well but it’s like subtext or whatever you want to call it of him wishing things were different and the detail of the train scene where the blue hands are on the window and the devil esque horns his hair forms and the streak all representing reincarnated wilbur And Tubbo dancing with everyone who manipulated him and the strings Tommy’s vest suit thing was just so aesthetic and Nikki’s dress was awesome And Eret’s outfit is just- I love it, it’s just so great Like this thing is so good I could just analyze it like an english teacher teaching Shakespeare This is some wtf level awesome stuff and I will riot if someone doesn’t live stream their reaction because it’s just perfect Like it’s so perfect that i had to stop myself from using perfect as my only description for good stuff here because it is all so perfect Thank you for making this it’s mind bogglingly awesome

im going to cry this is so. god. that progression at 3:30 ending with the birds eye view just completely destroyed me

After a year im back and this still hits different. I’ve watched alot of different animatics and animations of the dsmp lore but non have portrayed ever single character this well. This truly shows how much everyone has gone through. This brings back nastolgia and makes me very happy, so thanks :)

I have watched this so many times and seen this everywhere yet the message changes every time I watch it and the emotions change as well this was perfectly made everything about it was done in such a amazing way I can’t get over it

okay first off this is beautifully done and so endearing to watch. However, the ending stabbed me through the heart and you will be hearing from my lawyers over emotional damages

this is fantastic! your animation and story telling is incredible :)

Essa animação é linda e sempre me traz vontade de chorar, mesmo depois de tudo que aconteceu nesses últimos meses, anos, eu ainda amo isso.

Ver este video ahora en 2024 no se siente lo mismo después de todas las cosas q están pasando ;(

I only just noticed that techno seems to dance briefly by himself, implying he only perceived himself as having been used by Wilbur, or that Wilbur wasn’t even part of his narrative when he realized that, like he (techno) cut Wilbur out of his story when he realized he was being used, unlike the others, who, bar Eret, still kept Wilbur as part of their story. Techno instead moved on, and erased most of his feelings of being used, and projected that onto Tommy instead. There’s a lot that happens in Techno’s but and I just think it lends a lot more context to the rest if you decide to read way further into it than necessary :)

I can literally smell this blowing up in like a week No but seriously, this is unlike any dsmp animation, it makes me feel something different.. Amazing job!!!

Love Nihachu's dress animation and 3:36 frame composition. Also like that you include so many characters and animated the whole song! And dancing at the beginning of the video. And music with song. In short I like it from the start to the end :) --- Update: rewatching it for the 3-rd time in a month. Perfect work, love it

I’m just gonna say, this is beautiful and I genuinely cried when I saw how smooth and beautiful the animation and art style was and how beautifully it was portrayed. I’ve been internet free for 9 months and this was the first thing I saw and I’m so happy it was.

This is by far my favourite Dream SMP animatic! I remember you from the Linked Universe and Danplan animatics so I knew this would be good but HOLY HECK- THIS WAS AMAZING! You showed so much emotion and you're animatic is so smooth! The scenes were amazing! The transitions were beautiful! I didn't expect Eret since I rarely see him so I was so happy to see him. And the Fundy part was brilliant too, Niki sewing the flag! Tubbo part with dancing with multiple people was brilliant! Everything was brilliant! You showed the relationships that these characters had with Wilbur so well! And that ending! Oml. That was Soo cool and it made me physically shake! This was absolutely gorgeous!!!!! Edit: I love how the each character has a unique colour with only really Wilbur being coloured. I also love how well the song goes with this too! And oml, I could rant so much about how much I adore this. I also didn't think Techno and Phil would show up thinking Jackmanifold was next seeing how it seemed to be the L'manburg Ogs so that was a cool suprise for me! You are extremely talented! And have come a long way! Oml I'm so happy I found this! Keep up the amazing work! Enjoy your day and drink some water!!

for someone who NEVER cries from animations, I cried from this one. It was so heartwarming and made me so happy to watch but was sad as well. It was bitter-sweet. The animation was so sweet, and the planning and detail was brilliant. This was so beautiful it’s incredible. And the end was intense taking a turn on the whole animation, revive-bur was just scary but it was intriguing. So. Brilliant. And. Well. Made.

still one of my favorite videos ever
