Hand Me My Shovel, I'm Going In [The Magnus Archives] 

okay but the “this is not enough” goes from “this isn’t enough to prove that this stuff is real” to “this isn’t enough to save everyone” to “this isn’t enough to feed the eye” to “this isn’t enough to stop the goddamn apocalypse” and i think that’s fuckin neat

2:28 let's go lesbians, I'm coming through with a bunch of lesbians

im so behind on this podcast that I don’t even understand the spoilers being shown to me and it’s great

i swear to god if you make people who like will wood and people who like tma into a venn diagram it becomes a circle

also the bit with jon's dreams rly was the epitome of "stop looking at me with them big ol eyes" and i love it

Sasha falling behind everyone legit broke my heart. IT'S bEEN YEARS AND I'M STILL NOT OVER THIS

"spoilers for, well.. ALL of it." me: *well shi-*

I really really enjoy Jon miserably bobbing his head up and down to the music

IM SO GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT OF THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES WHEN HEARING THIS SONG

My favorite thing about this is the way you draw Jon's (very human) horrified terror mixed with the strange (eldritch) pleasure that comes with him being an avatar who has fulfilled his (read: The Eye's) purpose, who enjoys this nightmare despite how much he wishes he didn't. The fear in his expression and the tears, with his smile looks absolutely tragic. Beautiful!

I have no idea who this is. I don't know the Magnus Archives. But this is gorgeous

as someone who’s a fan of Will Wood and the Tapeworms and already loved the song, ngl i totally went into this thinking. there’s no way they’re actually going to animate all of it?? and holy SHIT then you did. holy SHIT i got so excited whenever i saw every new character and story beat scroll on screen your designs are SO good and got me hyped as HELL and holy SHIT you animated the whole song with the instrumental spaces hot FUCK this is so good im gonna go lay down now

I just saw Hand Me My Shovel, I'm Going In So I'm watching

i did not expect my love for tma and will wood to collide like this but I'm extremely happy about it

2:20 this is the face of a listener at every season finale

your jon design is amazing omg i love him. the sharp teeth in S5 makes my monster!jon soul happy

THE EMOTIONS,,,,,,,,,,,,,, THE COLOURS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I REALLY LIKE HOW U SHOED TIME PROGRESSING AND HOLY HELL THIS IS AMAZING AND JUST E V E R Y T H I N G

4:35 incredibly small detail, but I love the tears in Martin's eyes when he slaps Jon awake. It shows how had it is for him to hurt his significant orher and makes the end of their story even harder.

everyone just agree will wood is an avatar of the spiral?

WHAT!! WILL WOOD AND MAGNUS ARCHIVES?? MY 2 MAIN HYPERFIXATIONS MADE INTO ONE AWESOME VIDEO?? COULD IT BE??

What killed me the most was how sad Martin looked when he hit Jon ):

THIS IS. SO UNREASONABLY GOOD?????? PLEASE. HOW. this is ABSOLUTELY my favourite tma video ever ive watched it WELL over 20 times

this animatic is what got me into tma and now that i've listened to MAG 200... I can't help but get emotional while watching it. The fact I'm able to catch all of the references fills me with joy, but I'll miss this podcast.

God this is gorgeous. His curiosity, the eye watching the whole time and making things worse each time he thinks it can't be, going through the hellscapes with that mocking refrain telling him how this is all his fault for wanting to know, the hand reaching up that he can't help, him trying to keep it together for Martin... The way s4 John is softer and quieter and wants to help the others, the papers slowly turning visceral as the world he's studying turns real, s5 John so tired he would accept anything as real, the sweetness with Martin, his joining the Institute with hopes of finding some answers, the same refrain going wild as he can't control it, the realization afterwards and his vs Martin's reactions to the horror; all the crazy shit in S2 and S3 shaking him up (his "I'm in over my head" face!) and then the coma when he joins with the Eye and starts becoming something he doesn't recognize, changed again into someone with more resolve, the handshake and the rib solidifying who he wants/has to be.. then his finally going Buckwild Monster Mode and kicking back against Lukas and the world because it's just too much; The amount of personality that every character has in so short a time!.. The guilt, Sasha's death, your Elias design, and just all the subtle changes and touches you did. This feels _complete_ and heartbreaking; a fantastic sort of testament. I love it so much

hes bopping so much? like he does a lil head bop and i love it. it's like the world is falling apart but the eye is like, hey jon wanna bop a bit?

God this is amazing. it visualizes the Song PERFECTLY!!! This is basically Jon's whole story! just "I've hit rock bottom, but I've got a shovel and I'm ready to dig" thank you so much for making this. I've 100% been watching it on repeat

just entering TMA (for some reason everyone is talking about this year) I really like it so far

Won't someone please hug this poor suffering Archivist????? Ah, thank goodness for Martin. Anyway, this vid is SUPER well done! Many cool transitions.

Sir, I would like to keep my heart

It's AMAZING!! That rlly makes you think how much Jon really suffered through this serie, like.. omg ... and still so much to come ! Amaaazing video !!!!

Jon just needs a rest for the love of god someone get that man some SLEEP

I've been saying this is SUCH a good song for Jon / tma and the absolute RUSH I got seeing this in my recommendations can compare to nothing else..... your mind is so powerful this rocks

Oh I seriously LOVE THIS!!! It's so cool and emotional, the music and your style just work so well together and i just??? Loved it??? Went absolutely fucking feral every time jon went 👁👁 cuz of his powers, good good shit

I live for your Jon. He's so cute even as a a spooky beholding avatar

2:19 tfw you're miserable but still vibin'

Aaahhh This was so good! Oh Jonathan, how did everything go wrong Buddy

I keep watching this and I only realize now that the light at 1:05 resembles an eye

I don't listen to TMA but my friend does and we both love this song and she was literally talking about how this song reminded her of some TMA stuff, she's gonna be ecstatic when I send this to her

OOOH THE WAY YOUR PORTRAY JON’S INTERNAL TUG-OF-WAR WITH BEING A MONSTER, SPECIFICALLY THROUGH HIS EXPRESSIONS?? **MWAH** ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! JUST WOW THIS ENTIRE ANIMATIC IS BLOODY BRILLIANT

im in love with his little shorp teef

Well shoot now I gotta hyperfixate on TMA and learn every single thing I can about it

I've never seen the phrase 'gotta get to the bottom of this' have so many different meanings that are directly related to tma

Ngl I came here for the song and stayed for the amazing art

Oh my god this is so amazing ,,,,,,,,you managed to fit everything in there somehow?.?!! That’s hella impressive

Jon bops his head sadly

wow, this was a whole ass ride! thank you for dedicating so much time to this, it's spectacular. i held my breath throughout the scene with jon reading the message from jonah. well done!!

my jaw absolutely DROPPED at the part with jon reading the statement that starts the apocalypse holy SHITTTTTTTTTT

So I like will wood’s music and seeing this video reminded me that I could listen to this podcast. And felt like I had to get caught up before coming back and watching this. So thanks for getting me into the Magnus archives :)

OMG when jon and martin are looking up at the twisted panopticon it gave me chills, so fucking cool

i love jon's frantic jamming u put in there lol

I’m sorry this is amazing and all but Jon just grooving to the chorus with the most panicked look on his face is comedy gold

The fact you animated the entire song is absolutely astonishing because it's a long song and just drawing an illastarion let alone making an and is pretty hard since you have to draw every scene and background Also this is dope

Holy hell ok this is really cool and also THAT'S THE PERFECT JON SONG

I saw this back when I was on s3 and didn't know what the spoilers could even be, and now I just watched this again when I caught up and I am so obsessed

lyrics (if anyone wants them): My heart was stolen by a blind pickpocket In the deep city streets in the summer of 2012 And I never even saw her face My dreams were shattered like a stained glass window Jesus in Pieces! I believe I threw a brick right through Him But my memory could not be saved It just seems unlikely that it’s me who was to blame So I bookmark my DSM ‘cause I need to remember my place [Chorus] This is not enough! This is not enough to prove it yet! No, I need to hit the bottom Gotta get to the bottom of this Take you with me ​ My soul was crushed like a tall boy Underneath the boots on the curb And I’m still picking up my molars And putting them back in my face My name was soiled by a last call spill With a backwash swill and the blackout killed me Sober on impact from a fall from grace ​ Take the road on higher ground And tell me “don’t look down! You’ll fall and break your back.” But that just reminds me how there’s more to be found beneath the black [Chorus] Bottle, well, or barrel? All are empty Dug, or drank, or poured it out When too much is not enough there’s plenty more Where that came from around Looking up we see the point of entry Between where we are and we’ve been Looking down I could say Heaven sent me Hand me my shovel. I’m going in [Chorus] Gotta get to the bottom of this If it it kills me

I've watched before I got caught up( I stopped before I got too spoiled) I loved it without context and now that I'm caught up lemme tell ya I LVOE THIS. ITS SO GOOD!!

YES! the animation is sooo well done! The colours are perfect! I love this!

I'm losing it this is so amazing

I havent watched this in a small while (I used to watch it at least once a week because I *love* it) and a small jolt of glee went through me at the first sight of Elias' little bastard moustache 💙

oh my godddd...... the song fits so well and the ENDING..... the ritual sequence and jon's laughing/crying face....

this is so pretty??? your art?? major art style envy

I just loove this so much

the bits where jon is bobbing his head he look oddly like a mouse in an animated film /pos

ok i know this is three years old but I love it so much AND THE EYE TIE FOR ELIAS??? perfect thank you

You know an animatic is good when you forget that the song wasn't actually written for the fandom. Perfection!

The fact that (I’m pretty sure) everyone in the archives thought Martin would be the first to 😵 if the worms attacked astounds me.

This became one of my favorite songs after listening to it to this video, and now that I've actually started learning the lyrics I'm loving it more and more day by day. Like, its very Jon, but its also got so many layers to it and relative to the canon. It hurts so good.

I am in love with this The art! The song! The transitions! Everything! I especially love the way you draw Jon becoming more and more unhinged as time goes by I'm just in so much awe of just how much you packed into roughly 6 minutes

This randomly popped into my recommended videos one day. I knew will wood and the tapeworms. I dd not know the magnus archives. I am so glad this introduced me to it though. This video is amazing as is, but more than that, it introduced me to one of my favorite podcasts. So thank you. Thank you very very much.

I watched this after 160, and then repeatedly since then, and I just noticed all of the S5 stuff at the end!

Aw Martin and Jon found a good cow screee so cute

This was the first introduction i had into the Magnus archives and it spawned a hyperfixsation

This is wonderful I binged TMA way too fast without processing it and this is either helping me process or making it worse in an enjoyable way, very excited to see two fairly recent interests of mine intersecting like this

Critical role, then Good Omens, now The Magnus Archives. With some top tier art sprinkled on for flavour. Well you’ve definitely peaked my interest at this point.

i am SO glad i was not the only one hearing the absolute perfection between tma and this song! thank you, thank you, im thrilled!!!

it's been 2 years and your animatic is the only thing i can picture when listening to this song! this is SUCH a perfect fit, and thank you for introducing me to both the podcast and this song!!

THIS SLAPS. Not kidding this is the best tma animatic ever

i've been binging TMA (just finished today) and i'm so glad someone's made this because from jon's paranoia arc onwards i've always thought this song is perfect for him, especially going through the tunnels and also rescuing daisy from the buried

YOU KNOW WHEN SOMETHING IS SO COOL YOU FEEL LIKE YOURE GONAN CRY??? THATS THIS. I LOVE IT. ITS PERFECT THANK YOU

i do not remember if i already left a comment here but oh my god?? oh my god!?!? this is probably one of, if not my most FAVORITE animatics just... period??? first of all, combining what is definitely two of my most favorite things, this animatic made me love the song TWICE as much and i was always thinking it'd be a nice song for TMA but holy crap!! you pieced it together!! you did it!!! the style, the character designs, the grace and the fluidity-- my gosh it's just, such a treat the whole way through!! :) loved it!

The good cow hit me on an other level

Holy mother of myth, this is absolutely fantastic! Your designs and animation are amazing- I cannot get over how perfect your Jon is. And Martin! My boy! Also all the women and you know just basically everyone, I love them all! This is stunning!

I can't imagine how much effort and time you have spent on this, but I can tell you that it was worth it: it's amazing! Good job!!!!

I love that the panopticon looks like an angry lighthouse

what an AMAZING video, omg it must've taken forever with such a long song but it looks so good and in full color omg!

shout out to this animatic for getting me into will wood which also was the perfect soundtrack to handle a class i absolutely despised

This is INCREDIBLE what an amazing tribute to the podcast u killed this

i cant stop looping this, its so good!!

THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD??? Like I LOVE the way you draw the buildings bent to look imposing, the pacing, the expressions I am just like HOLY SHIT I am feeling many emotions bc of this thank u

This video is the reason I got into both Will Wood and TMA. Thank you very much!

I found this through Pinterest and have since concluded that the RU-vid algorithm has failed me for not putting this in my recommended

Jon miserably headbobbing to statements is either hilarious or very sad and i’m not sure which

Will Wood out here being an avatar of the spiral 💅💅💅

I have watched this video at LEAST 12 times since I first came across it. Every day i open YT like "time to find something to watch!" And always come back to this somehow. Not only is the song amazing, but your art style, movements, and expressions are SO dynamic!!!!

This animatic fills me with such an odd feeling of nostalgia

This is so gooddddd, I love your designs for everyone and how it's edited, I was hooked the entire time!

YOU DID ALL THIS IN 9-10 DAYS??? THAT'S FUCKING PHENOMENAL It's SUPER good I especially love what you did w/ Jon's eyes and the chorus parts

excuse me while I go and watch this forever holy crap this is fantastic

I just started listening to Will Wood so I searched this song and this came up. I was like "of course someone made a TMA fanvid out of this". I loved it!!

I just wanted to say to the beautiful human who made this, you were the one to introduce me to Will Wood, my new musical obsession. I am forever in your debt. 💖
