Who Are You Really? || QSMP Animatic 

Some things I love (not that anyone asked but I wanted to talk about them so,,) : (Also sorry in advanced abt how bad this is worded, I started this comment & then all the sudden my brain stopped working) How different and off Phil's expressions are when the EK starts talking to Chayanne (0:27 to 0:31)- really shows how this isn't Phil, despite it being his body, because Phil would never look at his kids like that (arrogance, malice, hatred?) The purple strings controlling Phil we see at 0:23 and 1:10 Tubbo and Fit and the entities (?) they're tied (?) to, kinda like Phil & EK (and I don't know anything about Bad being tied to some entity so if the blue is referencing smth, idk how it ties/mirrors Phil's sitch) ( 0:47 to 1:00 ) Tallulah with the rose (1:01 to 1:04), and how she's probably crying because she thought Rose would protect them but here Phil is, possessed I dont know if it was on purpose but the pose Chay is doing at 1:14 is basically the same as the one he did in the Purgatory animatic, which is an interesting callback/mirror The references to all the people he cares about- his family (1:12 to 1:15), his found family kids from Purgatory(1:16), his friends (1:17 to 1:20) & What made me make this comment; the movement Phil makes after going after Chay (1:28 to 1:31)- basically moving like a puppet on strings, which Phil is at this moment in time (and I think that's so fucking cool he moves like a literal puppet)

gotta love the reincarnation themes with Phil, the rebirth of the Ender King using Phil as a vessel, and the soul of Techno aiding Chay (someone who has expressed the desire to be like Techno)

To quote Fit: “Your fuckin fans Phil Istg

Techno helping Chayanne is canon in my book! legends never dies!

I really hope Phil sees this cause my god that was amazing! I love how Phil and the community have really integrated Techno into QSMP lore. It really shows how close they were and how much of a legacy he left behind

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! ANGSTS! ANGSTS! OLD CROW ANGSTS! YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Brian in the cage 😅 We were bugging the crap out of Phil for that one We may hate Brian with every fiber of our being but we don't want the stupid robotic crow to be TRAPPED do we? Only we get to torture him not the cage, How else would we give him coins to talk to Phil?😂

THIS WAS SO FUCKING EPIC THE VISUALS OF TECHNO HELPING CHAYANNE THE EYES IN PHIL'S WINGS AT THE START YOU DID THIS ARC MORE THAN JUSTICE

AND LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! SHE HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!!!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGLY DONE !!!!!

YOU HAVE COOKED AGAIN MAEPLE! The Enderking’s eyes seeing through Phil’s wings is such an awesome detail!

"Is this my blood? Please tell me this is my blood"

Techno guiding Chay broke my heart ;~; Thank you for animating this, it forever holds a place in my heart

Yoooo the eyes on the wings are sick And o7, blood for the Blood God

I love that one shot of Philza, one eye has purple veins, one is normal, representing his battle against EK in his mind. It only goes all the way when EK takes control.

I can’t stop rewatching this, it’s just so amazing! Love that you included all the traumatizing things that happened within this short time frame like parallels of Phil’s situation: Tubbo’s death and Creation’s appearance, Fit and his contract with Madagio coming to a close, Bad and the choice of continuing his cycle of reincarnation or returning to his home beyond those doors. Poor Tallulah who feels helpless as she watches people she cares for one after the other suffer. Also love the ongoing confrontation between Chayanne (with the aid of Techno) and Possessed Phil (Enderking) and the inner conflict of Phil versus the Enderking. That moment of everyone Philza holds dear flashing by a direct call out to where Philza said compared to himself the Enderking has no one by his side. Love that you took Philza’s take on the fight where the Enderking doesn’t have full control so therefore can’t control his body well and has to rely on Philza’s body’s experience with past battles, which Techno was there for and thus is able to efficiently guide Chayanne on the surest way to win against him. It’s just all so Aaaaaaah-

Gurl, they gotta show this the next movie night bro. 1.epic song, love this song 2.techno🫡

Qsmp needs to put this in the next movie night 😭🔥

Not ready to see a father and son fight🙇🏻‍♀️

I love how it’s become canon that technos spirit was guiding Chay through the fight. It’s nice to have a part of him involved even if he’s no longer here.

More ANGST FOR THE ANGST KING!! (i love how the new idea that phil is a reincarnate themes for him, how mumza is Canon now, enderking, and rose. I have a theory, if the nether is open we will see the blaze empress, but its just a theory (*cough cough* qsmp theory *cough*)) Cant wait for the vid Maple! Thanks! (A N G S T)

I actually started crying when I saw Techno, your design for him is so wonderful! You always do such an amazing job of animating the lore. BRAVO!!!!

i really like the way chay's knee pads look like skater pads. its such a nice detail and makes him look a bit more like still a kid. but this is just one tiny detail in this overall fantastic animatic, good job mae!!!

Amazing I love the techo ghost behind chayanne and the enderking eyes in Phil wings were a fantastic touch

Peak animatic from maeple yet again, such a great style its so amazing!!! -Mercy

Another one?? You spoil us MaepleTea ;o; We crows are eating good this week and sobbing the whole time 🎉

I love how the fandom draws techno on the qsmp, even if he unfortunately wasn't able to join, we would all have loved to see him there 💜👑

I fucking love this so much, I adore how techno canonically helped chayanne it make my adhd heart happy but sad but depressed

Our little warrior, guided by the hands of THE greatest warrior... Against a fool of a king, controlling his vessel - the old Crow. A clash of the ages! This looks amazing! Good job! 👍

I cant begin to explain how amazed I am by this, especially as i take it, just as everyone else is under or bound by some entity, its like Philza being tied to the Enderking, but Chayanne has Technoblade as his entity,.. which is just so damn awesome because wow Technoblade's legacy continued in the most badass way ever

i keep rewatching this and when techno fades away as soon as qphilza is himself again breaks my heart for some reason but it all so bittersweet adn so epic and amazing

I already know I'm going to love this, because god do I absolutely adore that song SO MUCH.

Techno being there was wonderful. Chayanne being able to see the person he's looked up to since day one was so touching. The animation is amazing as usual, you give us quality angst every time! I could watch this for hours! Great job once again!

1:42 I don't know if the extra lines were intended or not, but I love them because they kind of show how his arms are shaking, and philza seems to be fighting back, trying to stop himself from hurting Chayanne, amazing!

This legit nearly made me cry, seeing Techno there. I knew he was there canonically but still seeing him makes it hit harder for that moment. Another absolute banger, Maeple.

OH PHIL IS GONNA EAT THIS UP WHEN HE SEES IT THIS IS SO GOOD MAEPLE OMG

When I heard Phil say « I wanna hire an animator to put techno behind chayanne to support him against me » … WELL Phil I am sur someone will create it just CAUSE IT PERFECT OMG … good job 💖💖💖 the feel! Got tears from this

Why did Technos little smile at the end of the fight make me want to cry

This is everything. Chayanne, Philza, and Techno were drawn so good and its just *chef's kiss* I'M LOOSING MY MIND OVER HOW GOOD THIS IS

The cooking is not just cooked, it’s a FEAST FOR THE OLD CROW🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

YO MAPLETEA ONLY GETS BETTER AT EACH ANIMATION SHE DOES, GOOD FUCKING JOB GIRL🔥🔥🔥

I love how we all have collectively agreed that Chay was guided by Techno the entire fight he had with possessed Phil

Technoblade was like Phil what have this nerd done to you

Oh my goodness, one of my all time fav songs from childhood mixed with one of the coolest artists now, Im gonna scream!!!

That song was a BANGER of a choice and holy SHIT the EXPRESSIONS and the POSES and CHAYANNE and the ghost of Technoblade and- and again the SONG, like everyone is demanding "Who are you really?"- Chayanne to possessed!Philza, Chayanne to Technoblade's ghost, Enderpookie to not-exactly-possessed-but-definitely-not-alone Chayanne, Chayanne to Tubbo-and-Creation, Fit and his patron....

*wishing I had time traveling abilities*

I,ve watched this about a thousand time and I still get chills every single time. The little twitches that Phil does (at 1:11 for example) and the strings that are so small you could almost miss them (I sure did the first time i watched haha) omg i'm just so amazed

0:29 to 0:31 makes me want to make a gif because it’s so pleasing to look at and see the expressions and body language but I don’t know how 😭

THIS WAS AMAZING HOLY CRAP YOU DID AMAZING MAEPLE! o7 TECHNOBLADE NEVER DIES 💜

0:21” u make decisions u think are ur own”

ANOTHER MASTERPIECE. I LOVE IT AHHHHHH!! I especially liked the little references to other lore and Techno helping Chay with fighting the enderking in his dad’s body. I imagine since it’s Phil it’s extra hard for him to fight since it's his own dad, therefore he needed technos help and support❤️ and the song to this is an absolute banger as well! AMAZING, AS ALWAYS. YOU NEVER FAIL TO AMAZE ME MAEPLE❣️

I'M BROKEN. THIS HAS BROKEN ME. I AM NOW A PUDDLE ON THE FLOOR. GREAT WORK MAEPLE AS ALWAYS, THIS IS INCREDIBLE. I especially love the detail of the memory of everyone who Phil loves and cares about showing up to the line "Lift me higher, let me look at the sun" ***Because they're his reasons to keep fighting***, immediately followed by the Ender King getting *really mad* and striking again, implying he is, as always, jealous and angry about what he cannot have. I might be reading too much into that, but I thought it was a really cool detail. Also the uses of color here are so cool, how the only color is purple until you get the red splash of blood as Chay gets in the hit that snaps Phil out of the possession? Top notch, incredible. Sorry for gushing, this animatic is gonna live in my head rent free. You did so much cool stuff here, 10/10, much applause.

ommggg I teared up sm cuz of Technoblade, I also love how he's guiding Chayanne!

[gingerly places my hand on the ground] someone….someone cooked here.

OH MY GOSH I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS ITS A MASTERPIECE EVERYONE ON THE QSMP NEEDS TO SEE THIS ANIMATION OH MY GOD SO BEAUTIFUL YOU HAVE SO MUCH TALENT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

chayanne is technoblade's heir

I love that every animator just silently agrees that Techno guided Chay's sword those 3 days against Q!Philza. Long live the Blood God. Technoblade never dies!

take three because mobile safari hates me apparently THIS IS SO FUCKIN COOL MAN!!! the purple strings at the beginning and then the brief flashing of them later, the way possessed phil kinda stumbles around and REALLY looks like he’s not in complete control, the way the burns/cracks/(idk what to call them 😭) on his shoulders and face are drawn, the kind of unhinged and angry look possessed phil has and then the realization when he comes back, how detailed every frame is and all of the parts with everyone else at first just absolutely suffering and then happy and smiling, THE PURPLE EYES ON PHILS WINGS??? literally just everything is so RAAHHH /vpos MaepleTea you have shattered all of our hearts yet again with this absolutely amazing animatic i could rant for so long about how well every frame is drawn your art is so amazing man i love your style sm :D

I lost it and cried when i saw technos' soul.

Ain't no way I'm waking up at that time so I guess I just gotta not sleep at all to watch it live

Let her cook. We know that she will deliver the Angst.

THIS IS SO EPIC!!!!!! Technoblade appearing and helping Chayanne; and then leaving when Phil was back to normal. This was really really cool. Amazing work

Having techno there it’s, fuck I’m so emotional

YEAHHHHHHH *SLAMS TABLE* AAAANNNGGGSSTTT

OMG!!! Queen you serving us another one 😢😢😢😢 Edit: Oh yes!!!! Love the techno cameo!!!! I love how you portrayed the ender king possesion (the eyes on the wings)

This was amazing. I was just in so much awe watching this, first the shot of corrupted Phil with his wings spread, Techno standing with Chayanne and directing him as he fought, it's just so amazing!! I love it!!!

This is literally so incredible and I can’t stop rewatching the fight scenes cause it’s so smooth and realistic looking (I also love techno guiding chayanne throughout the fight and the flashes of the other islanders

Well done Maeple! Love your design of Technoblade and also love it that his spirit is guiding Chayanne to fight an ancient evil king possessing an old crow.

Bibiti bop bop into the playlist you go

MAEPLE THIS IS FANTASTIC!!! As always your animatics are fucking amazing and this one made me lose my mind. I loved how you animated/drew Phil's expressions while being possessed because they were SO not him. I also LOVED your inclusion of Techno and how you did it. MAN you slayed

OH MY GOSH I LOVE THE IDEA OF TECHNO HELPING CHAYANNE, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING YOU'RE SO TALENTED AAAAAAH

Yeah this is the video thats gonna get me into this fandom... Here I go wish me Luck.

Oh my god - I am so overcome with emotion that I hardly know how to express it. Chayanne's hesitance to fight Phil. The depiction of how the Enderking took over Philza's body. Techno's hand on Chayanne's shoulder, understanding his confliction and remaining as his anchor during battle. THE FLASHES OF THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE PHIL ON SCREEN - KASJDHFILRJGRJKHGWKLEKLGRJE I AM DYING. I AM DEAD. BEAUTIFUL. ART. GORGEOUS. HEARTBREAKING. GUT WRENCHING. There is a REASON why your username is both feared and beloved in the fandom!!!

to the museum. immediately.

Yay!!! Happy to see another maepletea animation about Phil as angst!

THE ENDER STUFF REMINDS ME OF WATCHER LORE OMGGGGG

i just wanna say I love that techno's spirit/soul is helping chayanne

HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING this does it so much justice!!! It’s amazing! I really hope this gets featured in a movie night at some point, you deserve it, such an incredible animatic for the crow!

man i miss techno this is absolutly increadble

Woah. My heart missed a bit when Techno appeared. That's so powerful and sad wow

More angst? More angst. Love it.

Losing my mind this was incredible!! Techno guiding Chayanne through the fight had me tear up ngl, you portrayed it so well! Stunning, show stopping, i love this 👏

this reminds me of the time Phil said that Techno wanted him to betray him at some point. I know this was a different roleplay but it's almost nice to think how fitting it is that they were technically fighting each other then.

I just imagine poor Chyanne seeing his dad be consumed. Hes terrified. He may be a strong little warrior, but he's still an egg. But then he hears that voice. "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles." That voice has guided him in his time of need countless times. A hand on his shoulder he sees the spirit. This powerful force. Every step Chyanne takes, every slash and block he makes, a calm voice is guiding him through. Finally philza's body pulses as crow dad realizes whats happening and is trying to take back his body. But he can't, hes trapped. "The wings. Go for the wings." Chyanne'd heart sinks. The wings? His father had just healed them! He wanted to fly some day! "Theres your opening." No.. "Now." With pain in his heart and guilt Chyanne leans in and drives his blade through the wings, leaving them in ribbons. Philza comes to, as Techno fades. Your video was super inspirational 😢its amazing

STUNNING STUNNING STUNNING THE PANEL WITH THE PURPLE WINGS, THE ONES WITH TECHNO ALL THE CHARAS DIFFERENT LORE RAHHH YOU ARE THE GOAT

0:36... god dang it, when I saw that crown I was about to cry :) I just love how Techno's soul was with Chayanne. I'm done, +1 subscriber

Maeple outta serve us the best home-cooked meal, I can't wait

oh GOD yes. another one for the movie night :D

No voy a mentir, lloré, lloré mucho. Uno por la nostalgia de techno y por el lore

You just KNOW this will be on the next movie night. Gotta have the angst. But DAMN that's awesome. I love all of this soooo much

ABSOLUTE BANGER AGAIN MAEPLE!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Techno guiding Chayanne at his shoulder and all the angst of everyone else as well. Props to you for conveying those moments so well

THIS IS WHY WE LET. YOU. COOK.

HE LIVES

THIS IS SO GOOD !!! I love all the details I started crying when Techno was helping Chayanne

OUAGH THIS GOES SO HARD AND CHAYANNES PIG SKULL MASK???? im so behind on lore with no hopes of ever catching back up but WOOOOOOOO 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I'll be honest I'm not really caught up on the qsmp lore right now so i dont have full context for this animatic, BUT THIS IS SO FREAKING AMAZING!!!!! and the song choice is just *chefs kiss*

This is so cool!!! Your animations are beautiful and have so much emotion in them, it's incredible! (Technoblade never dies!)❤

They're doing fine. We're doing fine.
