Sword-juggler and fortune-teller, Mollymauk Tealeaf, attempts to help his new friend, the mysterious and distant barbarian, Yasha, settle into her new life in the circus and escape the traumas of her foggy past. But will Molly's attempts to help Yasha bury her missing memories in the colored light unearth some unwanted memories of his own past life? Memories that a happy person would best leave unseen.

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!! The #criticalrole storyboard I've been promising for 6+ months now XD
Molly and Yasha's friendship was and is such an important story for me. Obviously, the two of them had to face their pasts eventually, but they were there for each other when they needed each other the most. To simply love and accept each other for who they both were at that moment, and for who they would become later. Two characters both suffering from some form of traumatic amnesia, and both know they must've done terrible things, but still trying to move on and find the joy and color in the world again... That really speaks to me and I think it speaks to a lot of people. We all have things in our past and even in our present that bring us pain, but finding people who accept you for who you are and bring color into your life, even as a distraction as you find a way to heal is something everyone needs. Not just wants; but needs.
This project has seriously taught me so much I can't believe it. This has been the culmination of 6+ months of work but I couldn't be happier with the results!
I still can't believe it exists, like WOW. The thing in my brain is real now!
A year ago, lying on my bed when this song came on and just thinking "This would work GREAT for Molly and Yasha". One year later here we are lol.
Thank you to @criticalrole for the continued point of inspiration as I continue to learn and grow and become that full-fledged storyboard artist I'm working to become!
