Here's another wip because I'm kinda slow😔

YOOOOO

This is so gooodd

I love Elliott love your farmer and I love this RUAGAUAUGH

PORK SODA.

oh my god I have so much to rant about the process of this fucking thing, however this is in fact my first. Very first time making an animatic and I can say with my full, fat chest that this has been the most excruciating thing I’ve ever done.

Some “glitches” are intentional, some are not, alongside other details but I wouldn’t break my back for an analysis nobody asked for. But I’m just tired, Guys. I’m on the verge of jumping off the window of a 5 story building …. Anyways. While I was doing this I was listening to CreepCast and I really. Really reccomend them. That’s enough blubbering though. Please. Please enjoy.

Don’t stress yourself out, you don’t deserve to be— do what you love, you deserve to be happy.

I love you, take care.

OH MY GOD MEL IS ACTUALLY COOKING.

I've been watching your animatic on repeat for a good part of the last few days! First, I want to say thanks for making it and sharing it!

Second, if you're up to it, I would love to hear your commentary on each shot! From what I could gather, Elliott and Mivvy have quite a tumultuous relationship! What makes it that way? And can you as the artist/writer see them get better?

Oh, oh man dude.

This means a lot to me, genuinely. First off, thank you, thank you so much.

I

Second off, get ready for some words❤️ and insanely, incredible reaching for some points but stick with me here.

This whole parts’— scene, going up to “Mivvy Walking away from Elliott” dialogue is something being said BY Elliott, hence the quotation marks, not his exact words but “why are they laughing when it gets to that point? what happened? what IS happening?!”

Well, they’re drunk, not very easy to show but they ARE drunk in the first frame and that FEELING is what gets them CLOSER. They’re enemies, well, one-sided. Right— and Elliott misses those nights even if it made him hungover the next day, and he would do anything to feel it again if it meant remembering the night(s) prior.

Although the second “scene” isn’t too deep. I want to say that Willy is NOT an antagonist in Mivvy’s schtick. He distances himself from Elliott a LOT and by “distance” I mean he fucking runs away from him. He gets jealous CRAZY and not “IM GOING TO KILL HIM!!” Crazy he HATES himself, he hates himself so much he’d take an excuse for anything just so he can beat himself down for just. Fumbling. For messing up— for failing to take that chance to overcome his deepest traumas and insecurities he has a cycle and he WILL REPEAT IT (according to himself.. and me! but because I want him dead .joke)

This part’s important.

to me at least. “Are they fucking???” Yes. They are. But it goes beyond a sexual act CLEARLY for Mivvy because another thing is that he doesn’t allow himself to (romantically, platonic appears to be an exception but even he feels AWFUL about it sometimes) love someone without feeling deeply, deeply compromised or guilty about it. He doesn’t think he can love that he can only HOPE he is even capable of it— feeling it, showing it.

so why are they having intercourse? Let me tell you a secret.

I cut out a frame of Mivvy holding Elliott’s hand in that scene, which puts emphasis on his despair. He, Mivvy, can’t show any blatant sort of sign he loves someone unless it’s during sex. Hand holding? Kissing? Bodily praise? GENERAL praise? only during sex or else he’d feel just awful. Like “oh it can’t be that bad” no it’s like “I will never look at your direction for an unelaborated period of time after this. I will have visceral thoughts of never coming back from the place I call home now that it will become like a daydream. I will die.”

type bad.

He can allow himself to see true happiness in Elliott when he’s blowing his hole ykwim. because he’s doing something good for him that time, doing something that although never will be worthwhile, will make him want for a reason worthy of wanting him.

Now these. And FINALLY these.

To anyone who hasn’t SEEN the animatic (which I hope you DID) this is an obvious display to their past and how it’s “affected” them, kinda— but also very affiliated to how their current selves interact in that sense.

Both (Mivvy in Canon, Elliott to my interpretation) had harsh upbringings: never been believed for a second, being tormented by the thought of never making it and rather being so humiliated and even WORSE— never having their name known to anyone but the people who knew this was going to happen.

HOWEVER. There are two outcomes, and both of them take a different one.

Elliott constantly persists with his passions, hence what makes him eventually, a successful author. His progression is slow but he knows this is something meant for him despite every hurdle he comes across— because he loves it, even if he’s nervous about if this is the right way to go or not sometimes, he knows fully that whatever word was said about him never making it is absurd.

Mivvy, on the other hand. Sees being a farmer as his last resort. In other words, he’s given up on everything that made his identity as a creative: his dreams. Nobody really knows this except for a few people but nobody truly knows that it fucking kills him.

He envies Elliott so much it makes him almost violent, it makes him scared of him it makes him want to do something awful. Hence why he looks away in the first frame of this, whilst Elliott looks directly at him like he’s REACHING out for him and mivvy slaps his hand away or runs.. away..

“So what about the second part?”

Elliott doesn’t run away, no. But at a certain point there’s always going to be a line, and when Elliott is a lot more upfront and being like “get more support PLEASE or I won’t even dare talk to you anymore.” And a LOT more concerned at that point it’s like Mivvy holding a hand out to be met with such nervousness and even distrust/unpredictability

Elliott still loves mivvy, yes. But he’d rather be heartbroken than watch Mivvy break over every aspect that is his life. He can’t keep chasing something far faster than his legs can ever imagine especially when there’s a speed limit. (METAPHORICAL) he’s trying, but he also knows himself well.

This is where their Relationship begins to take a curve for the better(?) Mivvy gets help, gets THERAPY actually.

The animatic is just the most condensed version of THEM, I promise you truly it isn’t just them. But let me answer your other question.

“Elliott and Mivvy have quite the tumultuous relationship, what makes it that way?” Elliott’s persistence to push forward and Mivvy’s fear to come closer.

Sorry for the late response This made me SO happy but I’m writing a fic right now so it occupied my time. Not finished yet, but even so I had a fun time writing this! So hey, if you (anyone) has anymore asks do NOT. NEVERRR BE AFRAID TO ASK TEJM!!1!:!2!: PLEASE

AAAAanyways! Again, thank you so much. Here’s a treat!!!

h,,h,hhh,,,hhhnnhh
