The Stolen Hope | REBOOT | Episode Seven (UNFINISHED) 

All weirdo and whiny comments will get deleted and blocked btw 🙂

To whoever is causing the harassment: STOP. STOP. RIGHT. NOW.

the amount of people in this comment section proving your point is insane💀 online indie creators are not content machines for you guys to demand and push around. get a grip

A little over 3 years ago, I was STUNNED when I saw that I was cast as Lunis. The fact that you trusted me with such an iconic character was a HUGE honor. Truly, thank you for having me on. I can’t say it enough. The dedication from everyone never ceased to inspire me and I’ll always hold this project close to my heart. Until next time! ❤️ THANK YOU!

I absolutely love this plot twist. I never expected Vivian to become the main villain. Like his father, Ares has paid for his treachery and abuse. The generational curse continues.

After watching again I realized Vivian used the same fighting move on Ares that she used on the goose in the beginning! Such an amazing little detail!

Its so sad that such an amazing creator is getting a lot of harassment, I love the story and the characters so much and I really hope you're feeling better!

All of these rabid fans need to stop harassing these creators. Behind all this stuff, they’re real people with real emotions and lives to live. We can’t have this kind of quality content if all people are gonna do is use it to make someone’s life worse. I hope you can get past this nonsense, gaLEMtido, and continue making the series we love with passion. And to all the harassers, stop it. Go watch Cocomelon or something like that. We don’t need that childish stuff here, or anywhere else for that matter.

It’s been an honor lending my voice to Dusk, and watching everyone involved on the project contribute their time, love, and talent to the show. I look forward to supporting TSH in the future❤

13:44 I love the details here, and the fact you can read her mind without even hearing it. She threw away everything-her brother, her safety, her small shred of loyalty, the chance to make friends and have a family-for a father that somehow convinced her her mother died, when the real murderers was the one right by her side, one of them even taking on a motherly role to her. This is the moment her last remaining shred of sanity snaps, her last chance at redemption is now gone. She’s no longer mentally safe to both herself and others around her, she even has the aura of the dead in the series right behind her, showing us exactly who she’s thinking of. The fact so much can be read by a simple tail whip, expression, and dark cloud is amazing!

What you've done with the series up to this point is incredible and seeing where it all started. There's absolutely no doubting the passion, creativitiy and hard work you and everyone else who worked on this have put into it, it truly shows. I'm so sorry you had to deal with all the harassment and uncertainty from people, you absolutely do not deserve it. People need to understand these are stories made by just a few people who put their own passion, time and care into making it, and that their words do have weight. I can't wait to see where you take the series and characters from here!! Edit after the ep: The Vivian and Ares fight goes HARD. It has stakes, tension, and the editing and shots of the tapestry and fire is so symbolic. I LOVE THIS

Breaking my heart a little I'll have to miss the live broadcast but figured I'd say it now: I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm a fan of yours first and a cast member second. No matter where or how you share your stories I'm ready to receive them. Proud of everything you've accomplished so far and even prouder of you for taking steps to protect yourself and your peace. ❤

Hey, guys! I figured I should comment, with this episode being the end of the journey in many aspects. It’s so crazy watching this episode and noticing just how much this team has improved over the years we’ve spent entertaining. The vocal performances have gotten stronger, the storyboards far more deliberate and liberal with their choices, and the animation? Wow. This is my first time seeing the fight scene fully rendered, and… I’m so darn proud of Alex. It’s so wild seeing the path of improvement you’ve lived on through the art you create. Thank you for entrusting a character like Jackson to me, and giving me a chance to express myself when I believed my acting career was on its decline. You’re the best. To the fans: I know there has been a lot said about the harassment, and my opinion is no different. That being said, I’ve met so many of you willing to share your art and stories with me, and it means the world to see how much you care about this series. You’re the heart of this whole thing. It’s been a blast. - SoggyEchidna (voice of “Jackson”)

I find it very amusing that Viv was kicking Ares tail before she even got cursed. Just shows how strong she had gotten from when she finished her training to that moment. Bro was for real fighting for his life.

Poor vixy, she just wants to escape the abusive cycle.

19:07 In that moment, for a split second, all he could see was his father staring back at him - ready to finish what Ares had started all those years ago.

While it hurts to see it end, I honestly expected it. You've already finished a series before and that's more dedication than the majority of RU-vidrs out there. The journey has been fun, I remember the excitement I felt when I heard the series would get a reboot. My smaller self loved the original and the nostalgia was unreal. Continuing the project like this would only cause more stress, which is the last thing you'd want in a passion project. Hearing you've been facing harassment is so scummy, it shows a lot about someone if they're harassing you over a series you're uploading and spending your time on FOR FREE. I'll support you no matter if and how this story is shown, thank you so much for giving us what you've finished. I'm always here if you need help, and I'm sure a lot of others are too

It was more than just episode… Best parts were “He’s lying!TELL ME HIS LYING, VIXIE!” “HOW COULD YOU.. HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!” “Everyone has betrayed me.Everyone.Even you…” “GET AWAY FROM ME!!” “If you defect or deceive me in any way… you’re next.” Voice actor did VERY good job!

this is really strange, but when bad guys die horrible deaths, I feel bad for them. Ares was one of those. him begging for his life was INSANE. it made me feel the same angered heartbreak I did with Gus fring in bb. hated the guy to bits, but when he died I literally felt raw grief, and same for Ares. They had backstories that caused them to be this way, and died horribly, especially Ares being killed by his own daughter. Also, gotta say, even though I adore this series and the way it's put out, I'm glad you're doing what's right for you! If you didnt want to make this stuff anymore entirely, I'd support you as that's what you want. and although I'm super excited for the upcoming stuff of TSH, I'm glad you're doing what's right for you

it’s sad that people just take harassment on a creator that works hard on something that takes hours and days leading to a year, hopefully people know when to not do that, and have patience at least, those who have that, thank you. Anyways I can’t wait for the episode, clearly it’s unfinished but still I’m sure it’s good!. Edit after the episode: UMMM WELP ARIES DIED TO FAST! 😭 RIP HIM

Those People in the comments aren’t it man This episode isn’t even out And the lack of consideration that Alex is a person like All of us Shocks me For some positivity I’ve been on the side watching the creation of episode 5-7 and it’s been a joy to see how you make the episodes and everything behind the scenes Being a Patreon for the series been amazing, and I’ll continue to support your work until in some future I can’t 🫶

I am absolutely enamoured with the scene of Ares looking to Vivian and seeing his father in her place, reducing him to a pathetic, whimpering state. I believe the main reason he clings onto needing to be in control is because of his father, he could never stop him, no matter how hard he begged, he couldn't stop him from hurting him, he couldn't stop him from slitting his mother's throat, and he couldn't even stop him from crushing his sister's skull. Ares was alone and none of his actions could amount to anything, he was only a child after all. Now, the moment this control is ripped from him, and there's no way to wriggle his way out now, he reverts to a kit begging and pleading for his daddy not to hurt him. Truly he is a pathetic bastard.

Dang she tricked him into cursing her!

SPOILERS AHEAD: This episode was an absolute phenomenon! Action packed, details, beautiful and outstanding art! You outdid yourself, Alex. It was a masterpiece. When Vivian threw Ares, it reminded me of when Ares threw Iris. I was definitely not cheering her on, I swear.. I really do hope you get better, Alex. No matter what you do with this series, it will ALWAYS come out amazing. Get better soon, eat, sleep, and drink. :) I hope to see more of your talent in the future.

You've really done a fantastic job with the reboot. You shouldn't be so hard on yourself. The bar for a good show is very low and you elavated a childhood project far above what anyone expected. Personally as hobbiest writer I would recomend that you leave stolen hope alone for a while. if your hearts not in it it'll only cause emotinal harm to continue it. Starting something new is the right idea. Can't wait to see what you do next.

i’ve always considered Vixy as my favorite character because she’s being torn between what she wants and what everyone else wants from her. Don’t let the other cats use you as a doormat girl! I also loved how Ares was so caught up in “teaching Vivian a lesson” that he accidentally gave her the curse. BOZO LOL. Excited to see where TSH goes from here. Good luck on your next animation endeavors, you’re doing great!

The fact that there's substantial work put into this episode to begin with shows how dedicated an artist you are - if not to the current TSH reboot, then to your craft and your community. None of us could probably even begin to understand the struggles you went through to produce this, especially while trying to kindle that lost passion. You did it for us and each and every one of us owe you our thanks and appreciation. But what's most important is that you go along the path that is best-suited for you. I hope you never blamed yourself for losing your passion along the way; this is an incredibly long time to keep a project alive and going, not to mention all the work you put in to improve it since you first started. I've always been so astounded and blown away by what you've done to enable this series to not only live again, but thrive. Having followed both original and reboot TSH along their journeys, I am proud of you above all for being upfront with us and choosing what will make you happiest. That takes courage and you have (and have always had) my utmost respect. I'm very excited to see your future works, no matter the format, because when you love and are passionate about your art, you're unstoppable. I wish you all the best with your professional career outside of the internet. Also, please do whatever it takes to recover from the awful behaviour of your 'fans'; that is not okay and will never be okay. Your safety and well-being should always come first and I'm beyond glad to see you're taking action for that. Thank you for everything you've done for us. Words cannot describe my excitement for your upcoming projects. Be kind to yourself and take care!

What I love about this is, Rowan isnt seeing the bigger picture like Vixy literally did the second Ares died. Rowan says to consider the killing of Ares and fight as investment to their future but like alluded to by Lunis, hes only a bit older than Vivian and the main crew, hes prone to missing the vital information to see just how fucked the Cursed empire and Vixy are. They didn't find freedom in Ares death, they just got an even worse leader in Vivian as shes even less hinged than her donor was. Plus because of this Rowan placed Vixy in an impossible situation as while most of the cursed empire look up to her, she isnt queen and its only a matter of time before Vivian's rashnesd will cause the newr downfall of the empire. Hell I'll even bet she will be the reason Rowan dies as its clear he has ulterior motives to slowly build Vixy up as the new queen without thinking fully what's going to happen with Vivian at the helm.

EDIT: Moral of the story, GET HIM VIVIAN You’ve been getting a lot of comments about the harassment but what I want to talk about is Vivian’s anger and vindictiveness in this episode…. Her reaction when ares revealed he killed her mother was… it gave me chills. Their battle scene was also amazing- like gorgeous, the artists worked hard and I can definitely tell. IM NOT EVEN FINISHED IT GETS BETTER OH MY GOD

when i found this animated series i fell in love with the: Atmosphere, characters, the art and so much more. i just cant believe people are so inconsiderate and nosy i just wish people could be more understanding. as someone trying to animate i know just how many hours it takes and i would wait here forever not just for a video but to know that you are alright, you have brought me back into art and I'm loving it more than ever. i hope that you will come back more passionate and happier than ever as i did. thank you

Dear lord why can’t ppl be patient till the ep is done my god ppl are selfish

VIVIAN KILLING ARES WAS SUCH A SICK TWIST? I'm so glad he gets what he deserves! as for the series being reformatted, that honestly sounds like a much more interesting idea. you can do a whole lot more fun, creative stuff when you actually enjoy what you're doing! I'm so hyped to see where the series goes from here. the community is with you, and the treatment you've received for simply doing what you love is vile. wishing you well, take care ❤

The amount of people who have no compassion for this creator or this project should honestly just leave and stay away. I have been with this channel since before the reboot, bewitched by the wonderful talent and All I got to say is. This creator deserves SUPPORT not whatever trash ya'll are spewing!!!

Holy crap this episode was SO beautiful. I loved even the storyboards. I could tell who everyone was, even without their voices, which means you have a good understanding of character silhouettes! And the fighting scene between Viv and Ares was BEAUTIFUL. The lighting, shading, it was an intense scene and you captured that beautifully!! Ares got what he deserved, and I was NOT expecting him to die this early. I knew he probably was going to, but I thought it was gonna be later. That makes it so much more interesting and way less predictable. This is why you don’t kill people’s family members, Ares🙄 but Viv please leave my girl Vixy alone, she was probably forced into it and also didn’t do anything besides holding Iris down😭 Also, baby Viv and Jack were so cute, I love them SO MUCH omg. I feel like Viv would’ve made a great commander had things turned out different. I felt so bad for her when Ares was literally taunting her and snapping at her. But how she just ruined Augustus’ grave, like, yikes Viv, yikes 😬 (good on Jack for making it better again) The VAs absolutely blew it out of the park! They have never disappointed, and if you compare their acting with the first episode they appeared in in the old series (if they were in that series ofc!), they have REALLY improved. They have done a brilliant job. They really have helped the series come together! While I am gonna miss the episode format, I 100% support your decision, and I’m really excited to see where this goes next. I’m sorry about all the people (not fans) who are harassing you for your decision and other things. You’re a human being, not a robot. And honestly, the way you are planning to format the series is really exciting to me. I watch Louixie who tells her stories in that kind of format and I LOVE IT. I just want TSH and that’s what we’re getting, which I’m super grateful for. Congratulations on graduating college, and I wish you the best of luck with job and house-finding! :) HUGE applause for getting THIS FAR with this series. Many people can’t do that. I can see the improvement from episode 1 to now. And hey, I’m sure most, if not ALL artists cringe at their old art. I know I do. Just shows you’re improving. Good luck on everything! And to the people who are causing the harassment, please go find something else to do with your lives. Please study the difference between a HUMAN BEING and a robot, because y’all clearly don’t know the difference :/

I can't believe that Ares (one of the bigger characters in the THS series) is dead. I was completely mind-blown! 🤯

by far my favorite episode so far. the fight was extremely entertaining to watch and Aries death felt like a well earned defeat. also really loved how Vivian got her new scar it looks horrifyingly painful and the fact that she was so happy about getting the curse that the was able to laugh through that pain said so much about her character at that point. i'm sad to see it go but i understand that feeling of the loss of passion, as this has happened to me too through several projects that i've had in the past, whether i've done things with them or not. also a slight recommendation, if you do end up deciding to continue the story maybe keep the characters in their feral forms, changing them to anthro knights might throw off the viewers; this is also a personal preference of mine, though please do not take this as me telling you what to do i just wanted to put this out there

I really hate the people being rude and they wonder why such amazing creators like u stop creating such masterpieces, I hope the best fir u and with ur skills u can get anywhere in life unlike the rude idiots who call themselves your fans, be well❤❤

The truth is, I was barely able to see the first version of TSH due to my low level of English, but from what I saw it inspired me a lot, see all the effort and love you put into it, both in the original version and in the reboot was gorgeous. You have come super far and I simply love your work and style. What you do with the project in the future is your decision, and those who are truly your fans (including me) will be there to support you in any way possible. I really hope that those who have been harassing you get off social media and don't poison the atmosphere again. I send you a big hug and congratulations for this ep and for having come this far, I can't wait for more things you will show us. PS, I loved watching my boy Kopa in action ahdjajjxdj xD

Im gonna be honest, its very rare a show get me to feel that kind of satisfaction I felt when Vivian fought back Ares after all the abuse she suffered and beat his butt almost easily. Such a rollercoaster of emotions through the whole episode. I simply have a soft spot for such well written villains :D You should be very proud on your writing and skills. Its a shame people still not learned how to accept boundarys, I recall many creators who suffered the same fate with their series years ago. I wish you the best of luck with your future projects, in whatever form they may be. I enjoyed the reboot alot and Im happy I could enjoy it to this point. I rarely write comments, just really want to show my aprecciation for the series and your work. Cheers

i repeat! dont read this if you hadn't watched the episode! thanks guys, you ruined a chance for this episode to get finished. like i know it can be hard to wait sometimes but the last i would ever think about doing is harassing the creator! now its probably going to take longer for the episode to get done. i hope yall are proud! by the way i'm talking about the people that did the harassing, not all the fans being respectful and patient. and to the creator, take your time. don't rush yourself. put your love and soul into the project. please. also holy crap! spoilers. dont read if you didn't watch the episode! anyway. the king of the curses is dead! oh my god! i did not expect him to leave so early! and viv! holy! i can feel the pain, sorrow, and insanity in her voice! all i can say is..... she really stuck it to her old man. and poor jack. i understand why the royals are not forgiving, but i'm also alittle upset that they don't think about the pain jackson has on his plate. i'm not saying jackson was okay to be silent. i think he would have saved himself the blame if he said just something. but jackson didn't kill the king. it was his sister, not him. i just hope that they can learn not to blame one another and instead blame viv for the pain they went through. i know this might be a bit of a not so popular opinion, but i feel like they proved ares right by blaming him like they did. the queen even said she would want him to rot in a prison cell for the rest of his life if she wasn't talked out of it of course. again jackson should have said something, he still possibly probably could have prevented the king's death if he said something but again i can't really blame the guy for being scared. his dad threatened to kill him, his sister almost did, and now the royals almost look at him as a traitor. like that is a lot on the guy/cat to go through. oh and he has his dad's curse. but yesh i'm a little upset with royals right now to be honest. but i need i understand it too. i mean who wouldn't react that way? i mean it's pretty realistic to be honest. also i'm not trying to start a war, just wanted to tell my thoughts.

This is one of the most amazing episodes I’ve watched. I truly was so shocked to see Vivian kill Ares. But it was also satisfying to see, considering that he treated Vivian horribly and belittled her. Even killing Iris. It is interesting to see the pattern continue with Vivian killing Ares and taking over like how Ares killed Maxwell. Overall, the ending of this episode was incredible. The lack of dialogue of Vixy at the point Ares was killed and Rowan’s evil grins and visible pleasure added significance to this. I’m so glad Vivian stood up for herself, and now a new era will begin in the cursed empire.

18:50 I LOVE the symbolism here!

The cover looks amazing and I can’t get over the fact that the episode is coming out so early, I can’t even imagine how long this entire episode took to finish I can’t wait! 🐈🎉

I normally dont comment on videos but I just want to say that in no shape or form should you ever get harassed for what you do or want with YOUR personal story & project. I hope in time you'll find peace with it again and rekindle that passion and take it a direction you find best in your heart as i'm very much looking forward to whatever happens next ❤ your creative work is your own and you should feel able to reclaim it as such without being harassed & bothered. I wish you the best steps forward 💖 Now my commentary for the plot: WOOOAAHH WOWSA HOLY SHIT!!! Im in love with Vivians take in the reboot as its completely takes her arc to whole new level. The cycle of abuse, the parallels to Aeris and his father... god, you truly out done yourself. Dare I say im rooting for her as a villian because no one has EVER had the balls to take down or even yet kill Aeries and the fact she did it is just GODDD. I truly hate to love her 😭💖💖 Vivian my diabolical traumatized evil woman

Why can’t people just be patient and kind :( it’s crazy how cruel people can be over a series they claim to love. Imo if you don’t respect the creators, you don’t love the project, you’re incapable of loving and appreciating art if you’ll harass the artist to “hurry up”. All the love in the world for you and the team! Can’t wait to see where you go with this story going forward 💖💖💖

it's really disheartening to see the amount of harassment you got over this series. some people need to learn to stop being so entitled and just be patient for the next episode. i'm sorry you had to go through all of the harassment that made you no longer want to continue the series. the episode was awesome btw! i can't wait to see more future projects come out on this channel :D edit: man vivian becoming queen... forget the vines rose is gonna become a whole bush at this point 0_0

(spoilers in this comment!!) firstly , i want to apologize genuinely and emotionally that you're going through a lot of harassment . i may have heard what has been going on , but i didn't realize it would escalate this badly . hopefully you're doing better , and im still wishing you the best . you deserve the good things in life . secondly , i gotta say , im rather impressed that vivian was my top favorite , due to her insanity growing for both sides after losing her mother by aries . what absolutely shocked me , yet was well deserved , is that she took out aries for revenge . i kinda panicked cuz i thought she was gonna die (but now we'll never know anymore since stolen hope is gonna be something else again) , but despite her still not trusting individuals , other than vixie sorta ? , this was an emotional yet exciting episode . thirdly .. i kinda hate to ruin the emotional vibe , but they did not have to pick the song that goes so hard on Vivian vs Aries . im happy i got to see this episode before it was cut short , and im looking forward to what other content you shall bring . don't worry y'all , i like some characters too , like jackson . :3 enjoy your night !

I'm very excited to see this!! I'm curious to see how Vivian gains her scar in this because, if I remember correctly, at the end of the previous episode, Ares told Rowan to get rid of Jackson. So it wouldn’t make sense for him to repeat what he did in the original. But I might be wrong I watched the episode a long time ago, so I'm not sure, but none the less, I am excited to see how you've done this. And I'm sorry about the harassment you're getting. I genuinely hope things get better.

So honored to have been apart of this amazing project! Everyone did such a great job, from the VA’s to the artists to- everything! No matter the future format this project takes, I’ll be supporting it with my whole heart and soul. Thank you for such a wonderful opportunity ❤

I actually really love seeing unfinished segments that show how you turn your stories to life, its almost comic-like and is still very animated even as still images. Props to you and your team! YESYES IM STOKED IN THE FIGHT SCENE, GET HIM VIV YES YES YES!!!!!! AGHHHHHHH.......... poor vix, seems it's a never-ending cycle, I am concerned for viv's leadership considering she now has the curse and is blinded by rage, she may think she is doing right for her kingdom but is becoming the person she hates.... my suspicion.

25:00 you could also write a book about the stolen hope! I would totally buy it :)

17:57 DAMN THE VOICE ACTING FOR VIXY WAS GOOD. This is the most amazing series ever I'm sorry for all the harassment you have been through, I'm praying for you. I hope you have a amazing day/night.

I've enjoyed watching this series and seeing you pour huge amounts of passion and creativity into it, as well as the rest of the cast involved. I'm very sorry about what you've experienced during the making of this show and how everything has kinda led to this, even if you're not cancelling it. People really need to stop and realise that content creators are still people with feelings/boundaries. I'm truly looking forward to what you have planned in the future with wherever you take this concept. Good luck.

Can't wait to finally see the episode with my daughter. We're fans of the Stolen Hope. Cheers and hugs ❤

This was actually very well done. Words can’t express for the greatness of this episode. Instead of ares clawing half of vivians face off and getting away with it. I see this tense feeling of adrenaline through vivian’s blood after hearing what ares has done to her mom, causing her to lash out and get back at him for killing her. This fight between daughter and father was absolutely shocking, and the fact vivian manages to kill him thanks to the curse he passed down to her finally was even more of a shocker and a hooray moment for her. But ofc that doesn’t stop the fact that she’s still out for vengeance. Back in the old stolen hope episodes, it was portrayed quite different and I’m glad vivian didn’t just get her face clawed off by ares and do nothing after Owen snitches her out. Gotta hand it to you galemtido, this was phenomenal. Sorry for the harassment you’ve received, hope you do much more better in the future. Wish best of luck! ❤

Genuinely upset to see the series end this way because some people couldn't be patient. People need to understand that not every indie series is the same and that the creator has the right to take their time and not rush things. If people want content so bad, they should make their own(Fanart, fanfics, aus, yknow!) And not harrass the creators. Harrassing people will get you nowhere and will only ruin things for everyone involved SPOILERS BELOW The way Vivian snaps is so well done, she is genuinely terrifying and yet I cant help but feel for her. Ive been waiting for her to learn that Aries killed Iris, and Aries getting his ass beat is cathartic! And HOLY SHIT I was not expecting Maxwell to show up even if its from Aries' dazed mind, that is is just OUCH

And another thing: PLEASE stop with the harassment towards her! I understand the disappointment regarding content creators either rebooting their project or straight up discontinuing it altogether. However, we are all human on this very platform, and we all have our own lives to lead. Alex is no exception. Besides, our skills, passions and perspectives change over time, and that in of itself is inevitable as life goes on. Therefore, the fact that a content creator makes a crucial decision regarding their story as a result of their mental health SHOULD NOT, and I repeat: SHOULD NOT, be an excuse to harass or even stalk them in a last-ditch effort to make them reconsider!! Because at the end of the day, it will only make things worse. And this is coming from a recovering people-pleaser. If you still do not respect her decision... well, I wish you a very nice rest of the day ^^

I think it’s fairly normal for a story you’ve created to need to grow and evolve much like a person. It’s impressive that you’ve kept it up for 10 years. Personally I’ll look forward to watching you continue to grow, as I think that is the best part of animation.

Vivian always have been my favorite character, and seeing her take over Ares's place and beating him up got me so hyped. I'm not easily surprised, and I was expecting everything but this plot twist. I LOVED IT! As for Galemtido, I'm sorry for whats been happening to you, and I wish you luck for your next projects. But I want to thank you for working on this last chapter, and for the next content you yet will give to us. You always were nothing but so great for all of us, and we don't deserve you and your team. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for creating this masterpiece. I'll defenitelly rewatch this over and over again.

I've been watching this series for YEARS, I cannot believe so many people are giving you grief.. I look forward to your future content, please know you have so many people that love what you do and would never take you for granted, but as an artist myself.. Please take your mental health first! ❤

Now, this made me so surprised I didn't want Aries to die!

It's saddening that you're being seen as a content machine rather than a human being, I'm sorry that some people are depending on you to make content all the time instead of knowing you have more priorities other than youtube. However, you have my full on support and love, absolutely love how this episode turned out, even if unfinished ❤

I never expected ares to die, neither did i except vivian to become the main villain, I really REALLY liked this ep and hope you finish the series, and i hope everyone who harrased you stubs the same toe over and over until the series ends

At the very beginning, I just couldn't. From the moment he is killed, and I am glad that he died and a new queen has risen

I just want to say I am impressed by how far you've come on your journey, Alex. The voice acting, the storyboarding, the composition, the atmosphere, all of this is just- *chef's kiss* Whatever you want to do with The Stolen Hope in the future, you have my fullest support.

eck, this is a book, but i mean everything here with a caring tone! firstly: for a final hoorah, this episode was amazing! ive been into the series since the first reboot episode and this feels like quite a fine resolution to most of the things brought up over time. not a happy one, but an amazing one with an amazing final scene. (and ill look forward to anything to further this plot, mini-shorts, amvs, what have you!) you did spectacular on it! even having those issues as youd said, theres still CLEAR talent here, and your work is incredible. im thankful we got a 7th episode at all, i think most of us are thankful for your work. i personally look forward to seeing anything else that youre comfortable sharing. and ill respect if you cannot make more!! that said, secondly: you are human. life gets busy, things get in the way, and at the end of the day, we all need some privacy and wind down times. burnout is so common, and can come in many different sizes, small, or large or anything in between. im so sorry that people viewed you as something less than a person with a passion, or even just as less than a person. no matter what you do though, the people who matter most will ALWAYS be here to support you at the end of the day. you could stop uploading all together, you could only upload once every 5 years, and the people who value you as you are will always support and thank you for your efforts to bring to realism a passion you had, at 12, or at 22. and that is what you deserve, support! pursue your dream job! take time away, do what you must to feel comfortable in your life. we'll be here waiting to cheer you on. thank you for the most eventful and fun 10 years you've given us, and here's to a better next 10 years for you. c: and thank you to everyone else who also had a hand in this reboot, the voice acting has always been phenomenal, and every single person helped shape this series into what it is today. its been a real pleasure being here to watch this all unfold! but please, live life to the best of your abilities, do the things that make you happiest, and never forget to give yourself the credit some people may not be willing to tell you that you deserve.

Just rewatched the ep, and Young Vivian and Jackson are just adorable 😢 Everything else is just 🤌 chefs kiss, i have been watching the series before the reboot and watching the Art style change over the years is just amazing. I find it cool on how the take on vivian losing her eye in this is different from before the reboot. Also on how Vivian kills Ares in this is just unexpecting but still intriguing especially with the fight scene. And then at the end with Vivian becoming the queen and poor Vixy not getting a break. Now i say this, I can't wait to see what else you have in store for this project, no matter if it takes rewriting it from now to finishing it or rewriting the whole story in general, your content from TSH has been amazing and no matter how you go about telling the story from now on, to PMVs to mini eps, to little memes, or anything else I can say ill still support it and the story 🫡 Extra: I do look down upon thee who have Harassed the creator about the series

Even unfinished, this is still such an amazing project! The chills I got when Vivian dealt the final blow, the fact she serves as a dark foil to Jackson, what he could have become if he did not open up to others like Lunis and Apollo. Vivian’s psychological breakdown is captured so well here. So many real shows struggle to capture the sense of foreboding and emotion that such a breakdown can bring and you’ve done it beautifully. I wish you the best for the future and look forward to seeing the new format you have planned. Remember, your mental health and wellbeing take priority.

I truly do not understand the hassle these people have on you, the audacity to say anything rude is horrible. You put in the effort to put out the episode even if unfinished. If anything these people should be greatful for the way you touched our hearts and souls with your characters. This show, these episodes made me go through a roller coaster of emotions, and that’s all a good story needs to do. It was truly amazing getting to see and expierience the story of the stolen hope. I still remember the first day I came across it. Thank you so very much for blessing every one of us with this beautiful series. Hell even watching this very episode just about had me in tears. Thank you again for everything you have showed to this community with your amazing well thought out characters, and stunning artwork along with it 🫶

This episode alone has got to be my favorite piece of animated film on RU-vid, and it isn’t even fully finished. I had to keep pausing and rewinding during the scene between Vivian and Ares to the point where it probably took twice as long as watching normally. I remember first watching the original series and the story still is one I’m very much in love with to this day. As sad as I am to see it likely wont be continued in this format, it is your project and I have full trust that it’ll continue being absolutely phenomenal. Whatever form these characters’ stories are told in, I’ll be here to enjoy it. I was seven the original was started, and now I’m nearly an adult. The story and its characters will definitely be one I think about for many many years even if/when the story stops being told.

man, who's been harassing you?? you're a great storyteller and you don't deserve the abuse the internet all too often has to offer for no good reason!! aside from that, i support your decision :) time is a scarce resource for many of us nowadays, so take the time you need to make your story the way you want it!

I saw the full episode on patreon and it's such a gorgeous work, everyone in the crew did an amazing job as usual and this episode was a blast. I'm very sorry you have to face harassment for taking your time on a passion project, I fully understand why the decision was made and I look forward to seeing new TSH content in different format :) Take care Alex!! your health is always more important!

I think what you're experiencing is a wider problem with people today, they forgot how to just have fun, enjoy something, and be patient about it. I'm so sorry you've had to go through this, and it hurts to see something like this happen, I've enjoyed TSH for basically the entire 10 years and just wait patiently for something new, this has got to be one of my favorite stories no matter the form it takes. I hope everything goes well for you! I'll be here when the next thing comes whenever it does! Take care!!

I forget a lot that you’re not even a year older than me. I genuinely cannot fathom how I’d handle taking on these projects the way you have, and it’s been constantly astonishing. While I’m sad to see the series as it is go/change, I can only commend you for your strength and passion. On all accounts the interactions I’ve had with you or seen of you have been wonderful and you deserve nothing less. I hope this new turn in your life serves your happiness and wellbeing far better than the last few years, and I’m excited to see what else is in store ❤for

This series has been absolutely phenomenal to watch and it’s clear that you have such skill and passion when it comes to writing! This current episode feels on-par with professional TV shows. I’m so sorry that you have been harassed when you should’ve been seen as a person. Whatever format for the story you choose to take should be the one that makes you happiest. I’ll definitely keep watching your work and all the best to you and your series! 💜

finally, viv doing something right for a change lol. i get the feeling she will sadly turn out just like her father though

16:40 It was at this moment Ares knew he fucked up. 19:23 Here too.

Im a bit slow and don’t know what the harassment is actually about, and I have no idea what people are complaining about, but I legit love this series sm, and I’m rlly upset it’s sorta ending in this form, and it deserves more appreciation. All the animation and voice actors are incredible.

what you've created with The Stolen Hope is something most will only ever dream about doing. You've accomplished more than many have in their entire lifetimes. The story you've written DOES make sense, the arcs and characters are well-written and are extremely compelling. You're so young, yet you've dedicated so much of your life already to working extremely hard and also motivating yourself. I hope you give yourself time to rest and play and be a kid! You could say the story is completed now if you wanted, and it'd be a wonderful intriguing groundbreaking story. The narrative really is literary. You've done a phenomenal job. Your sketches are *lovely*. I would love to see more of the story in sketch form. I think the short formats you are considering will make The Stolen Hope even better. You have great decision-making skills and this is just another example of that!

As someone who binge watched the original TSH series back in middle school when I first discovered it (not long after the final episode was released), and got really excited when hearing about the reboot, I absolutely love how far this series has come! The reboot's story helps me connect and reflect on how my life has went so far, and gives me inspiration when it comes to thinking of my own character's story that is currently heavily based off my own life experiences and likes/dislikes. If I'm going to be completely honest, The Stolen Hope's reboot is absolutely fucking phenomenal compared to most animated movies/series I've seen recently these past few years, and that's saying something! Also, after having read your messages at the end of the episode, it's disgusting and disappointing that people can be so heartless, careless, and so full of shit that they honestly deserve to rot alive somewhere worse than hell if they genuinely think that it's okay to treat you or anyone else like that >:c I hope that you'll be able to recover from those assholes and that things will be able to have a great outcome for you :D Go take great care of yourself galemtido and do whatever you wish to do when it comes to showing everyone TSH (or non tsh) related stuff that you want to share

This is an amazing episode feels like a season finale. Loved the Game of Thrones music. I remember watching the original TSH series during college those were the hardest times. The ending was so emotional, I was surprised for it to have a reboot. Even better than the original you improved so much. It seems dealing with online stuff is a nightmare your metal health is the most important take as many breaks as you need. Thank you for everything you've done.

I can’t wait For this episode sorry about all that’s going on❤this series will forever be in my heart:) can’t wait for more content and continuations of this.

Been a fan of TSH since somewhere in the middle of the OG series. It's really sad that people weren't able to behave themselves and ended up killing your passion for your own story, because as someone who's been watching for so long the passion oozing from this story has always been palpable. I'm along for the ride whatever happens to these characters, do with them whatever makes you happiest. Take as much time as you need to work things out. You have my support.

This episode was fantastic, the writing, animation, lighting, voices, and music, were cultivated very well, bravo everyone!! Seeing this show's reboot over the last few years has been a fantastic journey to watch unfold. Despite all the success and everything, it's completely understandable and realistic that it is slowly taking a toll on you in multiple ways both on and offline. It's not easy doing something like this in the first place, let alone something that you've been passionate about for so long if your heart isn't fully or truly in it anymore. While I will miss this format, I can't wait to see other ways this story can be told. No matter what you choose, I know it'll be great and beautiful. I hope things get better for you with everything going on, both currently and in the future. Don't forget to look after yourself too, and remember those who spread negativity towards you can shove off because you deserve only the best life possible despite it all. Have a wonderful day/night, and stay safe.

however TSH comes out is good to me. I hope the harassment stops and that this series brings you joy again.

Whenever I get in a creative slump, watching your series always put me in a mood to make something wonderful. I can’t wait to see where this story goes in whatever form, and good luck in your job hunting!!

whoever's harrassing you needs to get a life. tsh is inspiring and exciting and amazing, and if people can't accept that or are overwhelming you because of that, they suck! I hope you're doing okay

HOORAY HOORAY! VIVIAN DID IT! GOD, I'M SO GLAD THAT NOW NEITHER SHE NOR JACKSON WILL SUFFER! I'M CRYING, IT'S SO AMAZING AND TOUCHING. PHEW, THIS IS INCREDIBLE!

I'm really gonna miss this form of content delivery, but the fact that the project is continuing is beautiful still, honestly! I'm glad it is. Plus, this is a fitting end to the first part. The rest is kinda like continuing the story through books and comics. I love these characters and this story and I'm so excited to see more. It's inspired me and my own work and I regret only visiting the first episode every so often but never finishing it. It was worth my while!

Please do whatever is best for you!!! I’m sorry people are harassing you THE FIGHT WAS FANTASTIC!!! I got chills when Vivian turned around

I love Vivian so much, She is such a well written character

This breaks my heart that fans harass content creators. I am completely on your side because you and all the others (animators, voice actors, editors, etc) have busy lives and emotions. Take all the time you need and pace yourself. Keep going strong!

I'm so sorry that so many people were and still are harassing you, it's so messed up. You're a living breathing human being who deserves kindness and respect, and please don't let anyone tell you otherwise. This was your passion project that you decided to share with us, you didn't have to but you did. If people claim to love the story so much but still bully you, all they care about is making themselves happy. True fans wouldn't treat a creator/artist like how you've been treated, they'd respect your happiness and mental health above all and be understanding about waiting. Frankly, it breaks my heart to hear all the things you've been going through as of late. It is devastating to know how badly a good majority of your "fans" have been treating you so horribly. You started off loving and enjoying making this, but they just ruined it for you. I do not blame you one bit for not having the same motivation, if anyone went through what you did they'd lose motivation too. I just hope that things get better for you and that all this drama ends. Also, I'd like to say that I absolutely adore your story, both original and the rebooted versions. Also one of the collest things about the remake in my eyes was the change to Vivian's story! Before she just wanted to impress her dad no matter how badly he hurt her, but this time Vivian is not dealing with Aries heartlessness and callous personality. Getting to see Aries's comeuppance is awesome, but the fact that Vivian was the one to kill her father after he lied to her and used her like she never mattered felt so deserved and metaphorical to what Aries did to his father. Both parents were extremely abusive and underestimated and belittled their children and both paid the ultimate price for it. Plus him rubbing the fact that he was the one to kill her mother right before threatening to kill her was arogent. Well, who's laughing now Aries! XD

Massive respect to you, dude. It's always important to take your mental health first. While I'm sad the series won't be continued, I can't wait to see what else you have in store. Take a break, you need and deserve it.

As someone who is abit older and has been watching your work and progress since the first iteration of TSH I am happy to see you reaffirm your boundaries and work towards being happy and passionate first and foremost. I wish you the best of luck with your job hunting and will continue to enjoy your work in whatever form it may take whether it be TSH or your other passions. You've come so far and it's been amazing to watch, it is unfortunate that that also came with pain.

The amount of emotions that you sparked in me, ones that other shows or movies couldnt, is INSANE to me!! Some characters made my blood BOIL while others made me smile or cry, I am so thankful for you making this series, even if it has to come to an end. I am so glad that you are allowing yourself to step away, I'm very proud of that!! Thank you so much

Been following you and TSH for a while now, and Honestly what you and so many others have done with this project has been absolutely amazing to follow! I have no doubts that no matter what happens, you'll always go on to create something amazing, TSH is your story, you should be able to tell it how you want to! You having fun while being able to tell your story is what really matters and I hope many "fans" are able to see that as well. You do not deserve to be harrased by anybody, people need to understand that this is YOUR passion project, they don't get to dictate how you decide to display your project. Whatever happens, I just hope that you have fun while you're creating! The love you and many others behind the series have put into TSH has always been what made the series so fantastic. And it will continue to be fantastic no matter how you choose to tell it! 😌

i’m sorry you’ve been going through some hard times. whatever happens going forward we will support you all the way!

19:06 Maxwell came back from the depths of hell to finish what he started~

I wasn't really sure about commenting since I didn't know what could be said that hasn't already. As sad as it is to see the series end, it's not quite surprising. I forgot how young you were when you first started all of this and now you're growing up and moving onto other things. The fact that you finished a series to begin with is a huge accomplishment that most aren't able to claim, even those who started around a similar time frame as you. I loved watching this reboot and seeing how your skills as an artist and animator have improved over the years, and this episode was no exception. It's clear how much work and pride you put into your craft and learning the ins and outs of it. The fight scene between Vivian and Ares was outstanding. The cinematography alone is crazy to see on an indie show like this. There were several little scenes in that fight that I knew were all meticulously planned to drive in emotions and capture the audience and damn you did just that. It's crazy impressive and inspiring how much you've learned and grown as an artist and a person. I'm sorry you've faced such intense levels of harassment by people who claim to be fans. The internet is incredibly immature. I've always admired your content and eagerly awaited your next uploads, drinking in every frame and how much work you put into your projects. It's always a treat and I know firsthand from just attempting animation and arts how difficult it is and just how much goes into it. I feel like if those people harassing you tried to make a show on their own, they'd be humbled incredibly fast. I know I was when I had the silly idea to attempt such things haha. Good luck in your future, I look forward to continue following your art, wherever that may take you
