Every commentary that’s been made is cherished, and every thought that was kept matters to me just the same. I will always be grateful. Let’s keep creating more amazing stories. Happy past pride, and always.
Thank you, idk for some reason I really enjoy the soundtracks of most short films and always wished I could listen to them musically... I can't tell how glad I was that you made an actual track of yours
Ngl, I thought the horns were literal interpretation of his bone r, but it's actually more than that. It's his perception of himself on feeling evil for having lewd thoughts. His realization that his friends also have those lewd thoughts make him see less of himself with devil horns so it shrinks.
Just saying if the horns were the bone r, it would be unrealistic for his horns to shrink after seeing his crush's horns. I'd get hornier seeing my crush's bone r, if that was the case 😂😂😂
I really like the twist that the horns growing weren't explicitly a result of him being horny, but were exacerbated by him thinking he was the only one who deal with his horn problem. Great work!
THIS IS SO GOOD?? it really portrays the feeling of having sexual thoughts as a teenager and the awkwardness you feel. auhghhh the colors and everything THIS IS SO PERFECT
having a best friend (or many friends) you're attracted to can create a weird and embarrassing dynamic, and this film explores that really well. I liked how the fox friend didn't judge the mc or invalidate their feelings in that vulnerable moment-- he just supported and empathized with them. A lot of people would tease or make fun of someone in that situation, or at least be weirded out by it. The unconditional, platonic love the fox friend showed in the ending moment was really refreshing in contrast to that. Sexual attraction isn't something we can control, AND it shouldn't stand in the way of deep platonic connection.
If my friend has sexual thoughts about me, then no, we're not friends anymore and it's uncomfortable and gross. Why would I comfort them for making me uncomfortable?
And most of all they never even viewed each other as a freaky weirdo whose mind was just filled with lust and stuff like that, really makes my heart melt!!!
I love how this portrays something we describe as dirty to be so wholesome and relatable. These feelings are normal and sometimes unavoidable, so to have them be platonically accepted is beautiful. It’s how people act on their feelings that should be judged, not the emotion themselves.
No, you can definitely control this. Stop glorifying being sexual. If you're getting off to random ass people around you then YOU'RE the problem and shouldn't be accepted
real question, not an attack or anything else. Would you apply the same system of thought towards those with pedophilia ? (I know this is off topic, but I'm interested)
There ain’t anything I don’t like about this. •the animation and colors are absolutely stunning •the music is lovely •the guy at the urinal wasn’t creepy. He just had some sort of tic or something •it’s not only normalizing natural body shapes and quirks but it’s glorifying them •it’s showing that there’s really nothing to be ashamed about with these sorts of things •there can be multiple interpretations of the end result so everyone can feel validated and seen •and best of all DAD BODSSSSSS
It’s just how he communicates…. The only way he can communicate.. a mountain witch put a spell on him 37 years ago, now he has to wink everything he says
Nah fam, he took the urinal immediately next to the guy, that's a huge faux pas in straight men's bathrooms. That guy had to either be blind in that eye or hitting on him.
this kind of stuff needs to be talked about more. i felt so awful and disgusting for being turned on or getting off when i was younger, and i think seeing something like this back then would have helped. i was almost 17 when i finally realized it was normal
Yeah I totally agree except mine wasn't when I was young and was actually a total 180 thay was very hard to get used to. I went from not really thinking about my sexuality at all until I was 16 from being asexual from 16-17.5 because another girl did bad stuff to me, to in the span on like 3 months going from asexual to being God's horniest lesbian and it has been very very very diffult and uncomfortable to adapt to
Yeah I’m 20 and I still feel so much shame for being attracted to those around me or having sexual desires at all, for me it’s been exacerbated by being a lesbian and dealing with homophobic rhetoric but I think it’s something everybody can relate to regardless of orientation
I think people forget that humans are SENSUAL beings, we rely on our sense of taste, touch, smell, etc to guide us in our experiences thru life. We've become so disconnected with sensuality that people can now not connect in feeling ways without thinking it's entirely sexual. Some friendships have a level of sexual attraction, it doesn't mean that the relationship is sexual but it can be sensual that you love to be around your friend because they are a comfort to you. Horniness comes and goes, but genuine love stays.
a few things i love about this -the twist that the horns don't represent his arousal, but his shame. if they did represent arousal, i think it would "get worse" after seeing his friend is the same way. instead, they share the shame and the shame goes away because there's nothing wrong with feeling the way they do. -the "old gay dude hitting on the protagonist" really just had a tic or something causing him to wink randomly. (3:41) poor jackalope :') -the jackalope's type??? this sorta message could easily be done with exaggerated big boob imagery or whatever... (or ripped supermodel dudes to keep it gay) but it shows stuff like body hair, big bellies, the way someone's neck moves as they talk. the things he's attracted to is so distinctly human and it's refreshing to see. it also makes me feel better about myself as a heavier guy :3 -the theme in general. animated films can meaningfully express so many emotions but it's rare that i see any about horniness. i believe it's just another feeling and it should be represented with as much meaning and beauty as other emotions often are. part of the shame comes from never seeing that side of oneself represented! if this last bit resonates with anybody reading, i recommend the animated film Kick Heart. it's got some weird parts but it expresses sexual feelings in a meaningful and beautiful way, just like this film does.
This. That the sexual arousal comes from common things and not stereotypes and social standards. But I don't agree on the horns representing shame, they're an euphemism of an erection, which can be triggered both by arousal and strong feelings like guilt and shame. Also, loved how a female character was shown having libido too, as women also have this issue too although it is not so clearly visible due to internal genitalia
@@raleo7466 Well, I think it does both, it represents an erection while also showing the shame that you can feel when you have one in public and you either feel like everyone is looking at you, or worse, everyone is, because damn is that awkward.
I find it poetic that his horns didn’t grow bigger during the hug, considering the slighest peaks he took did that drastically for him. My theory is he found comfort in the fact he wasn’t alone and realized that he didn’t have to be horny 24/7 because he could control his emotions just as much as the foxes could.
No, I think that it’s that he was so freaked out about it, and when he realized “it’s not such a big deal, man.” He stopped focusing on it. Hyper focusing on not feeling the thing will only make you feel the thing you didn’t wanna feel. True for our emotions in general. Maybe try to apply it. A lot of ppl avoid and worry instead of letting it be.
And it's really good representation of it as well, this is my first ever media piece I've seen in a while that represents being hypersexual and how it can affect your everyday life
i love the ending emotions that you have to hide because its weird and awkward but repressing just makes worse, until you find people that share the same experiences as you. Its not even that they have to reach out to you, that its from someone who you have a special relationship with, or that you suddenly come to accept yourself. Its just that you can see yourself in them, and that theyre completely normal about how they feel, and then you feel normal about how you feel. Its nothing flashy or dramatic, but its a message conveyed so well that i just love it so much i also love how gay it is. i love gay people. especially when they have funny ears and tails.
I like how at the end it wasn't really the sexual validation he needed, but just the physical touch of someone he cares about... Sex addiction can manifest in so many different ways and it really.. ultimately.. is just craving a human connection
@@denabeana1233i think you misread this comment. the commenter didn't say anything about human connection being just sex, just a person that desires sex craving human connection under the surface.
@@TheLawliet10 the doctors say he's still winking to this very day, the patient says the only cure for his condition is "coming to my place" and "treating you dinner"
i feel like im not smart enough to really decipher the dull meaning of this, but at the same time it's so relatable at the same time? i would just freak out whenever i would see any type of flesh and i have to tell myself "calm down"
people see this as an allusion to hypersexuality, but i think this animation is about the shame around sexuality in general. many people even in their 20s are very ashamed of the fact that they experience sexual desire and tbh it's crazy... like, yk, sexual orientation is called sexual for a reason.
yeah…i don’t think the animation would’ve portrayed everything so lightheartedly + escalated the stakes to the point of silly ridiculousness + had that beat of comedy with the animal who attempted to approach him but made things worse before leaving + had things resolve so quickly if it was meant to be talking about something very serious like hypersexuality or sex addiction.
right. the current generational trend is heading towards sexual aversion and purity culture has just been getting more and more extreme. it's great to see a video showing that experiencing sexual attraction is ok and it doesn't make you a gross or bad person if you find yourself looking at another person that way
@@miruleii only started noticing this trend a few weeks ago, and its honestly getting so much worse, people act as if sex is the boogey man or something
@@bigtable nobody can help being attracted to another person. what they can control is how they treat those people and themselves because of it. the whole point is that it's better to not reduce others to how people feel about them or how they feel about themselves and to recognize that everyone is a human in this scenario so that no one gets treated as an object of desire or shame. what about that reads as problematic or abnormal?
0:46 I appreciate those two older characters that sit at either side of the MC. They've sort of normalized what Squeaks is feeling and freely display stable, rigid horns without acting on it. When they turn away at the fact he's not used to keeping it in quite yet, I feel like they both recognized themselves in the jackalope. It's a great setup for the lessons to follow. Also: if this can just happen one day to anyone, would this world have more open-roof infrastructure?
It'd make sense they would looking at it like that, I can't watch anything anymore cause I analyze stuff like that to much ;-; (talking bout the society having open roofing)
Counterpoint to the "also" part- we don't have this level of planning for people in this world, partly for similar reasons of, "Figure out how to 'solve your problem' so you can operate in 'our world'".
@@gigas115this seems like in this world it might be a cultural thing then. With some places having open roof architecture or other accommodations (maybe higher ceilings if you live somewhere colder) and some places refusing too.
This was so unexpectedly wholesome. It reminded me of being a teenager and having to deal with, well, THIS. I've never ever seen any piece of art talking about such a specific subject and it was so refreshing and heart warming to see it portrayed in such a cute way, I'm saving this to my mix of favourite shorts 🤍
This made me really sad because I really wish I had friends who made me feel alright about this kind of stuff. That jackalope has some pretty cool ppl in his life!
You're not alone. Honestly hate it even when I'm performing sexual acts. It feels like I can't control my mind and it's just constantly seeking the high. And then it becomes me questioning if the person even wants to be with me or just like that they can fuck whenever. Makes me feel worthless.
Yeah had an ex tell me to lower my voice when I asked if he spoke with his friends about sex, even just porn. My friends have always been more supportive. Now I have a partner who, although they cannot relate, is super understanding.
Those kinds of thoughts are the ones that help me push through my depressive episodes whenever they ahppened. I might not have people like that now, but i'll find them. Thats a promise i'll fulfil before the world takes me to my grave
@@KitKat-k2m 'wow this video about how friendship is important is so cool' 'heh but what if the friendship was the president of 1940's GERMANY' SHUT THE UP YOU ARE BRINGING LESS VALUE TO THE WORLD THAN A PIECE OF MARINE SNOW. AT LEAST THE MARINE SNOW FEEDS ANIMALS AND BACTERIA. DO BETTER.
this is a great depiction of what it feels like to be hypersexual, to me. its hard to hide and makes you feel like a freak or outcast for how your body responds, even when its completely out of your control. hypersexuality is usually depicted as "sex obsessed weirdos" even when youre just a normal person and dont want to hurt anyone.
Oh yeah, as someone who’s been suffering from hypersexuality for a long while and has been trying to overcome it, this short speaks to me. Having these constant impulsive sexual thoughts are really annoying and gets in the way of my normal functioning in life, even when I’m not actually in the mood and don’t want them. This really deserves more views. Edit: thanks for the likes ^^ here’s my tip of advice for dealing with hypersexuality. If you ever feel like something is sexual, even though you sense that it’s not necessarily so, then try to reinterpret it as something non-sexual. Like for example, say that you overheard that someone’s getting a doctors appointment - you may think “oh my, they could be doing naughty things with the doctor~”, but then come back down to earth and tell yourself “no, it’s not like they’re in a porno, it’s just a medical checkup or something along those lines”. That helps for me and makes me feel at least a bit better.
This is actually a really clever animation, i know that its probably just a silly animation about puberty but for me that resonates so well with being hypersexual. Every little interaction can feel sexual, everything can be a hint and your mind just dwells on the smallest details and you're never satisfied with it while also struggling with shame and thoughts about your own moral. The way he questions himself and tries to remain calm resonates alot with hypersexualization imo bc when you aknowledge you have it its hard to ignore and not to challenge these thoughts. The feeling that "everyone" knows he is horny is also on point lmfao
the ending is v cute and this is an really awesome animation. As other people stated sometimes you just crave connection and to have people around you to help you aknowledge its only natural to feel. We are born to feel.
It feels so gross being hypersexual sometimes, like I'll be out in public and see a cute girl and my mind just becomes a mess and I feel dirty and guilty and like "she's probably not lesbian, you shouldn't be finding her pretty since that's predatory" and just augh! brain things are so difficult sometimes
with these kinds of issues (as someone with s^xual intrusive thoughts which sounds SIMILAR but not the same as what youre describing, sorry for the censor Average yt moment), funnily enough the worst thing to do is moralize it and say youre shitty for thinking said things. The only way ive been able to get it under control is by letting it pass and by normalizing it. Being like. This thing is normal and is a normal thing to feel. Wanting someone in that way is not inherently bad, and Its not inherently predatory to desire that kind of connection. Etc, its really helped get thouse previously INSANELY prevalent thoughts under control. Funnily enough, when you obssess over the morality of something like this, your brain tends to make it EVEN worse. Its not inherently bad to feel that way, but because your brain thinks of it on overdrive (usually because of trauma or overexposure to it as a kid via the internet, the latter being my case) and society makes out people who even feel “abnormal” amounts of attraction to be Inherently predatory and horrible people, your brain picks that up and RUNS with it, and now youre beating yourself up for experiencing something thats honestly not that big of a deal more than the normal person (also probably because of something that is not your fault). Its not like your entire life centers around it, and its just in your thoughts. Dont beat yourself up on it. Thats how you get over stuff like this. Sorry if the advice is unwarranted and unwanted. I just want to see if what worked for me works for other people.
Okay, that ending was pretty 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 but ALSO extremely wholesome! I love how supportive the best friend was to him, taking off the cap only to reveal he's got lil horns of his own and so does his "partner?" I mean they straight up just slapped the mans ass maybe they're in an open relationship. Anyway, it goes to show we all grow a lil horn secretly and that's probably why they're all close anyway. Never forget that when you feel like you're being judged for being weird or horny, everyone's weird and chances are, other people grow little horns to. Maybe not as much as you, but it's natural others do to! :P
This was a surprisingly comforting animation, as it shows how no matter how one feels, they aren't alone. It's a way of life, wheter it's embarassing or not. It's a way of life,and showing it here is very nice to see, especially to people who might think they're alone in some certain situations. I worded really badly, but overall, jusy know this animation is really good :]
i still find it weird that we, as a society, make it taboo to discuss things like this. i can barely function normally without thinking sexually, yet we cant talk about it???? and its not considered a mental illness either, so therapists wont do anything about it??? its just baffling to me.
Exactly, it took till highschool to realize other girls have similar emotions to me. Having sexual thoughts is normal for anyone, it’s literally how our species is still alive.
Dude i have similar experiences, but in no way would i want to consider that as a normal/frequent subject, it just makes me and some peope uncomfortable. Although talking about it occassionally isnt a bad thing imo
This is such a beautiful video. Sharing one's experiences to supportive people diminishes the shame we feel for existing as animals with animal instincts.
As a fellow queer who also struggles a LOT with hypersexuality, this is not only the best represented I've ever seen it, but the most seen I've ever felt. It's all so true to the experience (minus the hug at the end ) and so unabashedly honest that I love being represented this way on the internet. Thanks!
While it is up to each one’s interpretation. I don’t think this is about “hipersexuality” or “sex addiction”; it’s about shame. The character isn’t misbehaving, he is not crossing boundaries or constantly looking for sexual pleasure. He is just showing shame to feel attracted to his friend and also people he see. He possibly believes no one feels alike and his horns are a problem he only has. But then his friends show him it is not like that, and all of their horns, of the three of them, fade away. So maybe, instead of a uncommonly sexually active character, we are just seeing a character with a lack of acceptance on himself and his attractions, that heals once he finds that what he feels is not that odd.
@@heartivore”the character isn’t misbehaving, he is not crossing boundaries or constantly looking for sexual pleasure” the point of hypersexuality is that it affects your day to day life. if it’s not affecting him to that extent, how is it remotely similar to hypersexuality or the experience of having it?
@@redwolftrashit clearly is affecting him to that extent. He literally kept having growth to were it was causing problems for him to be in public. Hypersexuality is not alway affecting your life, but it can mean frequently being aroused at times when it is not expected, because of a thought or memory that is arousing. Which is not the same as PGAD, so we are clear, because PGAD is a mechanical dysfunction that can be caused by psychological conditions.
@@redwolftrash i agree with yr take but calling hypersexuality - a real condition / struggle that people genuinely suffer with in their everyday lives an act of "misbehaving" or even "crossing boundaries" is icky. people can't help it , they can control their actions through healthy coping but what you might see as "misbehaving" is literally just them suffering with it. thats not cool man. :/ and the person above you clearly knows abt hypersexuality (as they suffer from it) more than you do , who are you tell em that its not remotely similar to your take ?? hypersexuality isn't just sleeping around or "constantly looking for sexual pleasure" , yknow...
i’ve never seen anything describe hypersexuality so well. after dealing with it for nearly a decade in the aftermath of trauma, i’ve gotten so many weird stares, crushing remarks, and unwanted advances whenever i try to be open about this subject. this is the first time i’ve seen the subject handled so well, so artfully, so beautifully. it’s the first time i can relate to something about this secret issue of mine. thank you.
I agree and relate to this comment fully. What's even worse, though, is ive found other sexual and kinky communities and multiple of them have pushed me away for having weird yet harmless kinks or not being pretty enough since they're based largely around hypersexual cis guys who apparently don't want genderfluid lesbian girlthings with sexual trauma around
i love how it depicts those strong feelings that aren't socially acceptable to bring up, along with the panic and embarrassing that comes with having them, especially strongly or towards people you shouldn't. the connection between the friends at the end was very nice aswell. i love this whole video
I think public urinals make anyone uncomfortable. The fact that we still have them is strange, when people can clearly see over the divider. I wish mens' bathrooms had more privacy like womens' bathrooms do
I like urinals for their ease of use, but most places I've been to either have too short dividers or none at all. I've even seen images of some with grates that you can easily see through.
In my highschool there were no dividers so we all had to choose a side and lean against the urinal. My school was and still is the biggest in the district btw
As an ace, this feels like a really insightful look at what a lot of people seem to experience differently from me. Hope one day this can just stop being so taboo to talk about ❤
I'm a fellow ace, but I still get intrusive thoughts sometimes because of my desire to be allosexual. Does anyone relate? Also, I've been scrolling for this comment lol
Was just thinking this. It’s interesting because I have never experienced what the short was about but a lot of people have. It was an interesting insight
This is legitimately one of the best short films I've watched. The way the wolf dude and (who I think is his GF but I could be wrong) revealed their hypersexuality at the end was such a wholesome moment. Showing the jackalope that he's not alone in this stuggle. I think I might be hypersexual, cause I deal with similar feelings at times. Thank you Horny.
I think them showing their much smaller horns showed their sexuality, but not hyper sexuality for them as there's were manageable. It was only hypersexual for the bunny because his horniness was out of control and a problem.
Yall I'm genuinely so worried for you this is not hypersexuality! It's just normal. If it's literally 24/7 then sure you might have a problem but I'm pretty honestly convinced that most people here who think it's hypersexuality are actually just convinced that something is wrong with them because they're dealing with intense sexual shame, which is what this short is about.
Like. Seeing people who you find attractive and being attracted to them is normal. Being turned on is normal. Having sexual desire is normal. If you are *needing* to jerk off multiple times a day to the point you have to plan your day around it, and this is impacting your ability to live a normal, fulfilling life, then it is hypersexuality. If it is one or less times a day it is not hypersexuality, it is just normal sexuality, and what you are dealing with is sexual shame.
This might be my next hyperfixation, teared up at the end. I don't know; it's just like this short film spoke to me and how shameful I'd feel when intrusive lewd thoughts would occur when I'm in a public setting. I hate feeling a type of way towards strangers, and I'd feel disgusted, especially from my hypersexuality. It's shitty, to say the least. Man, I don't know. Reading the comments and seeing others get me, it's so awesome, and now I feel like a goat boy; I think he's a goat- I feel less alone. So thank you, creators, and get ready for some fan art. >:3
I’ve never seen hypersexuality be depicted in this way, and I’m grateful that I was able to see this beautiful art piece. Not only was it extremely adorable, it tackled a very taboo subject with much needed empathy ❤
Because in fact it is hard to see hypersexuality as a problem than just someone who is addicted, because unfortnuetly, as much someone can understand how to feel empathetic with someone who literally suffer with this too, most of the time this is just depicted as someone who is just... addicted, but in reality this is something exactly how it is show in the animation, we strugle sometimes with our impulsive feelings..
@@heyjohn7764 I’ve recently been reading the perspectives of people who have hypersexuality, and it’s so clear that these thoughts are intrusive (and not the watered down definition of the word that sometimes replacing the true intensity of it) and are clearly a subject that causes shame to the person experiencing it. If you don’t mind me asking, is there a known way a person can help cope and maybe subdue their hypersexuality? Would it be similar to what happened in this animation, aka the physical comfort of loved ones and the riddance of embarrassment? Thanks for replying to my comment btw ❤️
this is so comforting, especially the breath of relief at the end. i didn’t realize i had been holding my breath too! thank you for this beautiful story :)
I also like the implication that they shared their sexuality with each other to better normalize it and take the stigma/anxiety away from it to make it easier to deal with. Its not wrong to feel a certain way, and at certain points of your life its going to be exacerbated uncontrollably. You dont have to feel so much shame for something thats normal, just accepting it and learning how to manage it is what matters Thats said, dont be whippin it out in public
I don't usually comment on yt videos but I felt the need to chime in for some reason lol. As an asexual "sex-repulsed" person, I don't fully understand this feeling on a personal level, but it's pretty nice to hear people in the comments discussing the struggles of being hypersexual and not wanting to make it weird (hopefully I phrased that ok). I genuinely find it interesting, and sometimes I can relate to it because even I still have unwanted, intrusive thoughts that are sexual. But anyways, I believe this short film was beautifully animated and it has a very meaningful message. Reading the comments, it makes me smile that this art is able to bring people together and talk about a struggle that is often looked down upon. Well done, and great animation :]
I'm also asexual (and also kinda repulsed lol) - this video was really interesting to see the other side of the spectrum. I read through a lot of the comments and it is fascinating to see how much people resonate with this.
@@iamkazoo hearing about the plights of hypersexuality as someone who experiences quite the opposite of the feeling is very educational and helps me further understand how different sexuality and sexual thoughts are for different people. I’ve also experienced intrusive sexual thoughts before, but I always end up grossing myself out as someone on the ace spectrum 😭 I’m glad that the people who struggle with hypersexuality were able to find community in this section
that’s what i’m thinking. the couple at the end show him it’s normal to feel sexual attraction + it’s nothing to be ashamed of and they don’t think of him any differently, hence the horns fully disappearing instead of his horns just resetting to their shortest form.
I also relate to this as a hypersexual but I'd like to point out to others that the jackalope doesn't overcome it by ignoring his sexual thoughts and pretending they don't exist. that makes the problem worse. he helps it by finding other people like him who have the same struggles and then they all are affectionate towards each other. That's my experience with hypersexuality as well. I take care of it by having a network of similarly highly sexual people that I care about deeply and we give each other an outlet for it. We don't even always need to do something sexual, just having people that you can be physically affectionate with (like in the video with the hug and the kinda flirty ass-slap) can do wonders for you. Sexuality is not inherently a bad thing. not even when there's "too much" of it. It's just a matter of finding ways to let that energy out.
I mean...the sex industry was literally invented to help folks like you. For just a small price it can fullfil ALL your dreams and desires, it can give you company and satisfy you and your wild needs. You should support the sex industry, I recommend it
I love how this short is so touching, i never knew i would relate to a goofy looking jackalope from a short, and how the friends weren't weirded out or disgusted by him? those are good people.. animals, whatever they are. I also adore this animation style, its glitchy and crunchy in the best way possible
This is such a good animation, from the coloring to the body language. The story is relatable, music is catchy and calming, and it shows that sometimes you need a helping hand, even for the difficult stuff that people aren't comfortable explaining.
I hate it when I relate to art; feeling seen is a difficult emotion to digest, but when you hunker down and process it, it makes you feel better in the end. a part of me wanted to scroll endlessly in the comments to find something negative, and it's the internet, so I did. But why do I want to see people's hatred and closed mindedness? To take it down? To find a rational retort? I think that part of me just wanted to push myself back out of that 'seen' feeling, to go back to being unseen. Because feeling seen hurts so much. But the part of writing this right now knows, that in order to move forward I need to process that feeling. And not want to backstep. Also be open about it, and see others how I am seen. Deeply cathartic animation, congrats to you for animating this, It's beautiful simple and touching. I hope to see more in the future. Cringy heart emoticon
Just realized that I was scrolling so much subconsciously for negativity, too. Ending it now on this wall of positive notes before I let one bad one knock it down.
Its okay to be seen! Only guilty people look down, if you trust that you would never hurt somebody and more than that even be a helping hand for them, then we can be seen, as friends and companions, supportive against those who would rather have us look down
@@ten.126e Learning to not search for negativity is a hard skill of life, but good one you for recognizing this habit and instead choosing to send a positive message Plus, heart emoticons are never cringey
Absolutely love the message of it being natural, of how feelings are okay, of acceptance, all wrapped up in a little, easy to watch animation. Perfect.
This actually really makes me feel so much better of how i feel when i get thoughts like these. The way you interpreted shame of having those thoughts and the realization that those thoughts are occurring actually made me tear up a bit ngl. But overall. This was incredibly adorable and thank you for making this.😊
