I'm weeping. The color came and decked me in the face; I hope you're happy. But WOW. This is absolutely breathtaking. I have so many feelings over Jon 24/7; I just want the boys to be safe and happy; is that too much to ask, Jonny??? Seriously, though. I adore this. The "Get a load of this monster" part of this song is what really hurts me. ❤
I love the build up until 3:40 so much, you're matching the emotions, the despair, the urgency so well with the music until it all drops into the quiet and almost peaceful embrace matching it with the lyrics! And of course that change to color as they are at Somewhere Else really enhances everything, especially with the palette of softer colors you chose there. It's perfect they end up back at the Scottish Safehouse because their life in the beginning of the video is one of my most favorite montages ever ❤❤ Outstanding!
God this is FANTASTIC I absolutely loved it, the color coming in at the end?? The song choice! The drawings are all so good I would frame em all on my wall one after the other!!
My biggest weakness is animatics set to This Is Home. I can't help but tear up. This is so beautiful, well done! I love how everything's in full color when they're at Somewhere Else
Ohhhh I LOOOOVE this sm. This song for Jon/tma in general gets me so bad. Also the TV static was SO WELL DONE and the fact that the end is all in color!!!!! I've recently been back on a tma kick and it's been great to see you still posting content 😭🙏
Dude you are killing the game. This was such a nice surprise. PERSONALLY, I am more emotionally affected by ur fanart than i am by the actual pod. super cool. GREAT song, i got super giddy and im so happy to see the final. bro u r killing it. and your animation stamina is unchallenged. and your artwork is thrilling.
oh my godd this song combined with tma is one of the few things that can get me to fall to my knees shaking crying maybe a little. absolutely artery convulsing. also you really added in the mag160 slap 😭😭
This is so incredible in every way imaginable, and I love the little flicker of elder itch - being Jon at 4:41 so much, such a small detail yet it affected me so much.
Yoooo!!!!!!!!! God I'm so glad you put them Somewhere Else, I don't think i could handle anything else The pan inside the cottage fuels me deeply thank you so much
Ohhhh my stars oh my stars. Pardon my rambling but I have so much I wanna say. First offf. Your ability to select songs and matching them with just the right frames is phenomenal. The pairing of lyrics with imagery is always just so on point. I know this song by heart and so I was anticipating some of the lyrics and you absolutely delivered. I knew right away that the “cut my hair” line was gonna be perfect for transitioning to your s5 Jon’s look and “Take a look at this monster” with the cut to Jon post-apocalypse causing on the couch was just. Yesss. And then “he’s in a different place” with the cut to the birthday photo? And then Martin smiling at him during “welcome him with open arms” just. I know you know bc you’re the one who drew it but. Yeah. Was awesome. And then of course the use of color. I knew that the idyllic post 159 couldn’t last forever so when there was that cut to Martin’s face with the flowers (and ugh side note your EXPRESSIONS) I was like “oh noooooo” but then the GREEN! And that’s not even it bc I was like yeah adore the green for Beholding but then the ENDING IN FULL COLOR?!?!?! HIT ME LIKE A TRUCK!!! I was so grateful I was alone bc I was legit screaming. Fantasticcccc. All of your animatics make my heart so happy and also so hurt bc this is such a tragic show and of course you make sure to highlight that with your brief glimpses of the past. Sasha and Tim and then later with Daisy and Basira and just all of them. They go through soooo much and my blorbo loving heart can barely take it but I keep watching all your stuff anyways because it’s just too good. Anyways. I’m more normal now I think. Fantastic work as usual. Absolutely getting saved to my favorites for late night rewatching over and over again.
this destroyed me emotionally! im crying! thanks!! in all seriousness this is absolutely stunning, i know its already been said but the last bit being in color really makes a difference. i know i personally have been watching the wips as they came out and waiting (impatiently) for the final, and its better than i ever could have imagined! thank you so much for making this and all your other fantastic fan-work, please never stop!
2:29 everyone's talking about how emotional this made them so I just wanna take a break from all that sappy crap to talk about how Martin just aggressively b*tch slapped Jon in order to snap him out of it.
This is so amazing, this song and this series both mean so much to Hello, John. Apologies for the deception, but I wanted to make sure you started reading.
WHEEPIGNC RYINGH SOBBING ON MY HANDS AND KNEES HOLY SHIT JAVWDFHJVFJKLfbjkv;efwJKV;EFKg. (also i loved the part where martin bitch slapped jon, another bomb ass animatic from star!!)
I have no idea what the magnus archive is but holy shit this was beautiful, I love the art style, animation, storytelling, everything. You're a great artist!! :DD
Oh my gosh this is beautiful. You really focused in on marrying the lyrics and visuals and im so freaking impressed. Also the ending 😭 thank you for animating a version of things where they end up okay.
Also my heart needed all those scenes of them just doing normal, mundane things together in the cabin. It was soul healing, and beautifully drawn. Thank you.
This is so amazing!!! Thank you so much for posting this! The color scene at the end was so beiatoful and the choice of song was perfect!! Thank you again for a wonderful piece of art to view ❤
I absolutely love this but now the only thing I can think of is Jon opening up a statement like "right statement 1739372, get a load of this monster it's a big ass pig"
im barely at the one minute mark and its at the "ill figure out a way to get us out of here" and i dont even think i can finish this because i know its going to wreck me Edit: it did.
Star you made me openly weep at 8 in the morning AAAAHHHHH!!!! i just- okay, my favorites that stuck out to me: - Tim’s beautiful design lovelovelove - Martin pigtails, absolutely - Jon definitely does crossword puzzles - the the the b-bouquet of of of fl-flow-flowers- - Melanie’s star glasses, A++ - the glitchy effects were so powerful and so cool!!!! I am an emotional mess right now RAAAHHH 💜💜💜
Oh my goodness? I've been watching through all your animations and they're all spectacular but this one just SMACKED MY IN MY EMOTIONS. your designs for jon and martin are also both lovely and i can't picture them any other way, they're so adorable
