This Is Home (A Sanders Sides Animatic) 

i love this for a lot of reasons, but i think the thing i love most about this is the fact that none of the sides are portrayed in a super negative light? like, this is virgil's story from virgil's point of view, and even then deceit and remus aren't really portrayed as these horrible, evil villains, and i really appreciate that.

WHEN IT SHOWED VIRGIL HANGING OUT WITH THE LIGHT SIGHTS INDIVIDUALLY I WANTED TO CRY. THIS IS AMAZING!! KEEP IT UP!!

The dislike was a person trying to hit the like while teary eyed at how good this is

*is that a masterpiece I smell?*

I'M NOT A MIX OF IMPRESSED AND UPSET WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SHUT UP- In all honesty, this is incredible

What is this strange substance leaking from the corner of my eye? Could it be **le gasp** a set up for a over used comment?!?! Yep oh- and tears!

This is so amazing your mix between digital and traditional is a true masterpiece!!!! The way you mixed the song with Virgil’s story just makes me want to cry and smile all at the same time!!! Please keep doing what your doing your a great artist!

AAAHHHHH THIS IS SO AMAZING THE CARDS!!! VIRGIL BONDING WITH ALL OF THEM!!!! ALL THE STUFF WITH THE DARK SIDES AND HIS PAST INTERATIONS WITH EVERYONE *AAAHHHH MY HEART!!!!!*

"he doesnt know how to comunicate" *HISSSSS* that had to be my favorite part lmao

One of the best animators that I’ve found *reads name* Fine you got me Joking aside this is so good

This is stunning. The way it showed Virgil growing and forming as a character, his soft side, his protective nature, and his want and need to become one of the light sides, all while struggling with his own battle with his anxiety, all in four and a half minutes? Amazing!

... This just entered my top 5 SS animatics

I'm getting ready to leave my room to talk to my parents and such since I haven't really seen them today. I close my book and look up at my computer to pause the music and it sings, almost mockingly, "he doesn't know how to communicate," and I'm like-- "I KNOW IT'S 7PM AND I'VE LOCKED MYSELF IN MY ROOM ALL DAY AND I'M COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET--I MEAN MY ROOM UNDER THE FALSE PRETENSE OF SEEING MY PARENTS WHEN REALLY THE DINNER BELL RANG BUT--COME ON!! CUT ME SOME SLACK HERE!!"

This is so amazing. I love how you told the story from both sides of Virgil's story. When he was with Deceit and Remus, he laughed and had fun, but he realized that something was wrong the more he hung out with Roman, Thomas, Patton, and Logan. But still, Remus and Deceit aren't bad, they are parts of Thomas, and they should not be discouraged and hated, they should be helped. I feel like they can all get better, and I know they can become less extreme like Virgil was when he was Anxiety. Like I said before, Remus and Deceit aren't bad, they just felt left behind and felt the need to lash out in fear of being forgotten and cast aside. Thank you for this gorgeous piece of work, thank you for your time and effort, and thank you for being apart of this beautiful community.

This is beautiful. I just--... I don't-- ... Can't-- WORDS-! ...I don't have the vocabulary to describe what I'm... feeling inside. But, for me, it's very unordinary.

Did anybody else think of this? “But little do we know the stars welcome him with open arms” One of Thomas’s most iconic shirts is a Steven Universe one with a big star on it. So could this maybe have taken place a little before,during,and after Accepting Anxiety? Idk it was just a random thought that popped into my head. Have good day whoever is reading this! 😁

That ending got me choked up

OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS AND I WANTED TO DO AN ANIMATIC OF SANDER SIDES WITH THIS SONG BUT IM WAITING TO GET A DRAWING TABLET AND IM NOT NEARMY TALENTED ENOUGH! That aside, I have a question. Did Remus and Deciet do something wrong? It looked like they were all friends and Virgil abandoned them..

This made my heart melt and now it’s just a soup

Me, clicking on this video: This is going to destroy me, isn't it? ...it did destroy me,,,,,,but then it put me back together.... Love the idea, love the art, love the song - going to be coming back to watch this one a lot in the next few weeks, I think!

Petition for Thomas to see this because it’s amazing and the amount of effort, time and talent put into this is absolutely stunning and I love every bit of it, congratulations! New sub coming your way ;)

My damn god. I can _feel_ the tears inside me. *This is beautiful and I can understand Virgil and how he doesn’t feel like he fits in.* I also love that it isn’t the dark sides being evil just a little self conscious. Virgil seems like he can relate to the dark sides because he used to be one.

This is so underrated it hurts me

there is only one phrase to show my reaction towards this video.. I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS I LOVE THISI LOVE THISI LOVE THISI LOVE THISI LOVE THISI LOVE THISI LOVE THIS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Traditional animatics always amaze me! I’m not even more than a minute in and this is _beautiful!_ I love how all of the sides have appearances that reflect their personalities along with all of the expressions ❤️

Can this stop being so cute and tear jerking?!

We're crying. If not literally then figuratively.

i ruined the 69 comments i’m sorry but i really like the fact that for the first chorus, you displayed virgil changing up his jacket which heavily symbolised how he is no longer a dark side

I'm crying! This is beautiful! Virgil kind of reminds me of myself sometimes. I was really sad for a while and tried to isolate myself, but my friends were having none of my bs and helped me through it.

This song actually fits Virgil so well and it’s perfect

the obsession i have w this is *crazy.* I might be sobbing omg

This is so cool! 'But I'll figure out how to get us out of here' "I thought I could protect you... From them" HNNGH so perfect for his story :D

i CRIED you had no right-

Me @ 1:06 : You're gonna make me cry, aren't you? Me @ 1:16 : You're gonna make me cry, aren't you?! Me @ 1:26 : YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME CRY, AREN'T YOU?! Me @ 4:17 : I knew you were gonna make me cry-

This must have taken forever because your doing it with paper! And pencil! That awesome I love that idea it takes so much time but with that song and what you drew it was really effective awesome work keep it up

The SHADOWS they are so good I'm living for that symbolism. This is so sweet and I love the transition of Thomas and the Light sides faces from Pre to Post AA Virgil. Bless you

IM SOBBING MY HEARTT ALSO UR ART STYLE IS THE CUTEST

Harry Potter: *loves griffindor* All of the fandoms ive been in: *loves the good guys* Sander Sides: dEcEiT aNd rEmUs aRe My ChILdReN

I'm not crying, you are. T - T THIS IS A MASTERPIECE!!

*When you relate to Virgil to much*

I thought this song was called “cut my hair” oof

Me: *suddenly gets REALLY sympathetic for the dark sides* They just want love, guys! He left them *inaudible sobs*

WHY YOU ALWAYS MAKING ME CRY!!! YOUR STUFF IS SO POWERFUL it hits just right.. I love you and your content

*I DIDNT CRY YOU CRIED YOU CLODS* sniff

YEAH, HELLO, YOU CAN'T JUST DO THIS TO MY HEART?? I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

I love pretty much everything about this. It's everything I could have wanted, from the choice in music (that c o v e r omfg), to the very realistic portrayal of Virgil and his relationship with the other sides (both Light and Dark) and Thomas, how his thought process as Anxiety goes as he balances trying to protect Thomas and try to be good enough for everyone, as well as his personal growth throughout an entire series compressed into four minutes and thirty freaking seconds. And the art style? The SYMBOLISM you used? To die for. You, my friend, are a genius as well as a talented and patient artist to come up with this masterpiece.

AAAAAA THIS IS SO AMAZING how they used traditional art and digital and all the art is so good this must have taken forever aaaaaaa it’s so GOODDDDDDDS

IM GOING TO FLIPPING CRY MY STOMACH HURTS FOR SOME REASON WELL EVERYTHING HURTS AND I CANT ITS TOO SAD THIS IS TOO GOD AND IMA THROW UP IDK WHY IM SAYING ON THE INTERNET anyways this was amazing and ima cry now bye

I've never seen a traditionally done animatic before! This one is good!!

*deep breath* *whispering* you are amazing never stop being amazing ilypf-

*ill take your whole stock of this thank you very much*

How dare the 3 people who disliked this beautiful creation.

oh my goodness, this was... for lack of a better word, breathtaking. your artwork is so expressive and you nailed the flow of the emotional highs and lows PERFECTLY. who knew such a beautiful, wonderful story could be told in less than five minutes?? this was absolutely stunning, really.

this is just the sweetest thing i have ever seen

Did I let you make me sad? Yes , I did ! This is amazing!

I’m literally in awe. This is absolutely amazing and deserves much more attention. Keep up the good work.

It isn’t often that an animatic can make me cry, but this was so heartfelt and emotional, it really did. You’re extremely talented. ^^

Me: IM NOT CRYING YOUR CRYING Also me:*baling my eyes out* Like if you cried, cause I did🥺

Well I cried inside, this was so good

1:11 I love a lot of the poses/frames but Roman in this one.... dang

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH OHMYGOD THIS IS AMAZINGGGG *violent clapping* im gonna go sob in a corner now because our dark strange son deserves so much more omg #virgilprotectionsquad

I'm not crying my eyes are sweating bc it's 5990° in my room *sniff,

That was so beautiful!!! I am literally crying! I wish Thomas will post a new SS video so I can learn more about Virgil's past

Yeah no this is how I feel 24/7 and I replace self love with love for other people cause it’s like “if I love this person I can distract myself from everything wrong with me hm it’s not working LETS TRY AGAIN”

It’s midnight and iM SOBBING

THIS IS AMAZING AND AAAAAA god you really captured the emotions of the song really well in the animatic and you draw all the characters so good this is just fantastic

This is cute and depressing at the same time

I loved the transition from paper to animation and back to paper. And you are amazing at art.

I,m obsessed this is amazingly draw

The few people who disliked this, don’t know what true art is. This is amazing! Zoinks, this probably took a bit of time to make 2. Great work.

Man, oh buddy, oh boy, this is just lovely.

THIS. DESERVES. MORE. VIEWS.

*Hold up...* *Is this on paper???* *If so brilliant*

:0 that was so cool how you changed it from traditional art to digital, then back to traditional

???? what the fuck ????? why is this the best video ive ever seen ?????? im ???? fucking crying ???? amazing. absolutely stunning. LOVELY. YOU GET A GOLD STICKER FOR MAKING ME CRY. ⭐

I'm not crying you are

THIS IS THE GREATEST PAPER DRAWING ANIMATIC IVE EVER SEEN THIS IS INCREDIBLE I LOVE IT BEYOND WORDS THAT EXSIT OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH I LOVE ITTTT

I have just now discovered your channel. And I have just now fallen in love with it.

this is so beautiful!! im crying with the end bit im still not okay after dwit

Seriously, deceit wants to keep Thomas safe and happy but can go too far. Remus is just trying to have a good time and is opening his creativity more. They don't mean to cause any harm they are just different. Also I get it if Remus and Deceit are upset because Virgil just left them. Edit: Wow i was dramatic 7 months ago- Edit: LMAO WHY WAS I SO DRAMATIC

Wow. You’re crazy good at drawing and your style is incredible! I think I, in love with your art and this video in general. Keep up to fantastic work!

Oh my heart, this is so sweet!

I found it funny when Virgil look at Deciet and Temus and then just turned around like "Actually...yall ain't shit."

Dang... I think this is my new favorite account, like, ever.

Wow ....just wow I am blown away right now this is perfect.

I'm honestly in tears right now. This is just beautiful and so well made. The expressions are all perfect and the choice of song and portrayal of the story is one of the best I've ever seen. I can't even describe how amazing this video is and how everything pieced together so well. Massive round of applause, outstanding video. 💛💛🌻

WHY?! WHY THE HECC DO YOU KEEP INSPIRING ME DURING A 12 HOUR CAR RIDEEEE? it’s torture, I’m nowhere near my sketchbook...

I felt so calm watching this. I love this so much. PS: I love your username.

Gonna cry over how amazing this is

THIS IS TOO CUTE FOR WORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Think my fave part was Vigril hanging with Patton, Roman, and Logan individually. Along with the part where each side get's light up in their colors, with Remus and Deceit included in it.

How dare u make such a lovely animatic

Oh my Geez this is amazing! I really love your art style and how your Writing looks. I love how it’s my Favourite song with my Favourite Fandom as well. I also want to note that I love how it’s from Virgil’s View and doesn’t make anyone the Enemy, in a way he betrayed his friends so they retaliated. This almost made me cry, awesome job!

this made me cry- good job.
