Somehow it reflects reality while being so abstract it's not just the animation the actions should be abstract but they are relatable like the mothers instability or the child's confusion to trauma
I love the way vewn draws the children so small compared to the adults, it somehow represents the authority and the difference of the position in society.
to me it just represents how it felt (and still feels, specially when I'm dreaming) to be considered by yourself and others as small and helpless in a scary, anxiety inducing environment where you feel alien
I also fucking love the way the adults voices still only sound like those of adolescents at best. Really drives the point home that us "adults" are just... kids who did our best to figure shit out, and some of us didn't even do that.
This hits so hard. Feeling like you don't belong in your own family, and all the shit that goes down is just harder on you when you're a kid. The dad refusing to take responsibility for being unfaithful and gaslighting the kid saying "apologize to mom". People suck, and sometimes people are your family!
Damn and you figured that out instantly?! Wow you really know how to read into things. The feeling itself is not strange to me at all personally, *[its not great btw* 😒 *]*
An excellent depiction of dissociation. Being stuck in a dysfunctional family and feeling like someone else that just dropped into the role. Felt it all the time growing up before I even knew there was a word for it.

This animation makes me feel overstimulated or just very anxious because there are so many things happening at once, the music, the fast pacing, the pop ups that the main character has and that they are constantly trying to talk to her. There’s also something about this animation I can respect and I just love the art style so much
I feel like this video represents romanticizing your childhood and family after you leave but when you go home your remember how things actually were. You got out and became your own person but when you return you feel like you’ve lost yourself again and you don’t think you can get it back. This can be even more true for a toxic home life when its the holidays and you go back

This is a great representation of what it feels like to understand that the grass may not actually be greener on the other side. In the beginning when this girl in the white dress looks in the window, above the empty seat it says “ the life you’ve always wanted “. When white dress finally enters the house the longer she’s in there the more chaotic everything starts to get. In my imagination her white dress symbolizes her before she found out what really goes on in blue onesies house.And at the end she asked for her clothes back but blue onesie gets ran over with the white dress on, which I think that could possibly mean that she can never look at blue onesies life/lifestyle as she once did before entering the house.
I find this interpretation quite apt and interesting as it takes in the bigger picture beyond simply the persons immediate experience. When you are young many of us believe that you reach a point in life where the world will make sense and we will “have it all together” and your midlife crisis is realising that destination doesn’t exist and was simply a mirage to give you hope through the bad times. You finally realise that your life will always be messy and challenging and disappointing and you will never escape who you are.

Like “yeah, this shit DOES suck, I’m glad someone else is acknowledging this” that sorta thing. anyway Live Love Vewn
Your personality isn't your own, you're basing it off cartoons from TH-cam about kids not being loved or cared for properly. And having their innocence warped or snatched from them... that's what your "personality" is based of? It doesn't sound simple. Sounds lazy and cringe.
Being autistic, this really hits home, the feeling of not belonging even in your own home, the senaory overload from the people around you, struggling to find order in a chaotic enviroment, little discomforts that make you want to leave (for me it's flies), etc... I love your animation and you are an amazing creator on this platform, thanks vewn!❤
its hard being the only autistic one in a chaotic house, it usually feels like no one is really on your team or gets you. I pretty much ran from home as soon as I had the means
i feel like you just read my mind, even down to the fly thing. I dont know if i’m autistic or not, (i’ve never been diagnosed and don’t want to self diagnose) i think both your comment and this video really hit SUPER close to home (❗️❗️)
God this is relatable. Feeling like you don’t fit in with your own life and feeling like you are someone else. Every thing just makes you want to vomit. And like you are being shunned from your own family. Feeling like who you are supposed to be is being killed slowly
I always feel like that but i feel it more intensely if u also have brain fog or super intense thoughts like ur watching urself in a movie u might wanna look up dpdr to better understand it or u probably just have a stressful family
you know, this is one of the first that's a real headscratcher for me. but I feel like it represents wanting a life that seems great, it seems loving and fun, having a dinner together, with your whole family, but when then she realizes it really isn't what she wanted, misunderstandings, pressure, sadness, and when she tries to escape (going on her phone as an escapism), it stresses her even more. I feel like I can look a lot deeper into this one, because there's so many things it could be, but this is the first one that came to mind; wanting something because it looks so great and so different, but when you're truly apart of it you realize it isn't what you really wanted. it also seems like when she tries to go away to her own home, her only choice to get away is completely gone. setting her into her new life, since it says "go back HOME" at the end when she's going into her new home, it means this is her new home now. something she's apart of, even after she realized this isn't what she wanted I think it shows partially that choice, especially things that will be permanent, are so important. I can't wait to see everyone else's opinion on this :D
You hit the essence I think. It's the battle between the idealization of normal and how boring normal actually is. So many people want it, but once you have it all you want is to escape.
I felt that it was more a representation of what it feels like to not feel like yourself and the total alienation from others that results. Like you said there's that promise of "the life youve always wanted", but that promise is never fulfilled, creating that sense of alienation and non-belonging because you think that everything should be fine.And then there's the terror of thinking that you're the only person who feels that way and that you'll be accused and ridiculed if you're found out. That idea is represented by the mother, whose own fake reality has been shattered by finding out her husband has cheated, and seeing the lie that both her and the child are trying to live. And when the kid tries to escape that lie she finds that the truth she once lived has become someone else's lie, meaning she can never go back.
yes vewn, i'm so happy you decided to upload right before new years, because that was around the time i discovered you last year. your content makes me feel so happy and nostolgic. ur lowkey top 3 animators ever. also, i dicovered this artist LITERALLY HOURS before this upload that you made cover art for named "chloe moriondo". isn't that crazy??? anyways this really made my day, thank you for everything victoria :)
I can’t stop watching these, something about these videos resonates with me. I’ve been dealing with some mental stuff for a couple months now and these videos kinda give visuals to some of the things I’m feeling. Also the videos in general help me disassociate with reality, giving me the feeling of being high and introspective. I also love the voices, the girls voice is inexplicably soothing. Thanks Vewn!
I feel like this could be related to feeling like a really favorited friend. Yknow like when your friend comes over and your parents start comparing you to them and they feel more apart of the family than you? Except she doesn’t have a real family and finds one through yours- she’s always wanted this but then realizes your family has its own set of problems and is so focused on these things that she forgets about your experiences and may make you go through things alone or force you to be put in dangerous situations (car accident at end). I feel like this could also be applied in a high school/work sense? Like if this wasn’t a home environment for example- you getting a promotion that someone else wanted or becoming friends with popular kids but at the cost of someone else being kicked out of the group. The new environment that you wanted so bad is scary and you feel worse about being there bc someone else “died” for you to be in that place. Everyone else is already focused on their own issues, so you’re just expected to fit in immediately in their place and put up with things you weren’t expecting.
I love how your work shows me the possibilities of animation, that the line didn’t need to be smooth, object didn’t need to always stays the same, and the perspective is anti-realistic, but this is still such an unique and beautiful piece to tell a story.
this one has grown on me even more since you uploaded it. manipulating the music depending on the scene, the wide distorted angles, the monotone voice acting, etc. even the way the patrons come up at the end and the pace at which they’re shown. your videos are always so perfect.
Awe man It’s such a radically different life than what I’ve experienced personally, but I really felt like I was peering into someone else’s life and I understood the emotion you were feeling in those moments. It takes a really talented person to be able to convey emotion and story telling to an audience of people who might have had a totally different upbringing and have it resonate with them. This was really good, as sad as it was.
Awesome. Had to rewatch it a few times for the meaning to really sink in. Always happy when Vewn posts, her storytelling is absurdly unique and so incredibly inspiring. What she manages to do with the simplest forms and most basic layouts is incredibly entertaining her work oozes personality and you feel like youve been in the places she portrays in her work. She manages to capture the essence and or the exact feeling of being young and stuck someplace thats unhealthy(dangerous even), in a way i have never seen any other animator do. The grittiness and crazy perspectives, all the crazy angles making the buildings ands streets look crooked it all lends to her storytelling and the running themes she utilizes. Youth, innocence, purity, responsibility, shit adults, violence, drugs, social media and overuse of internet, phones raising our children, broken family life, peer pressure, sexualization of younger and younger females. Im thankful for Vewn she inspires me ❤
something about 0:51, the finger touching the shoulder, made me feel shrimp emotions. this entire animation has themes that i can relate to autism but there's something about that moment specifically, the detailed zoom on such a small motion, that REALLY does it
Ugh. I relate so much to this. In the role of a dysfunctional home, I matched the term 'outsider child'. I would go outside and maladaptive daydream for over half of my childhood. Anything else was overstimulating. The dad telling the kid to go apologize reminded me of when I tried to get my mom to leave dad so she wouldnt get hurt anymore. He blamed me for them almost divorcing, and my mom solidified it by getting back with him the very next day. So everytime something traumatic happened, I felt like a version of me died, and I had to come back and be something else. Repeatedly it was like I was trying to find the mask/version of myself that fit in. Art is amazing.
I love these animations, they calm me down, no matter what story it's telling, even if it's from Brazil, I think the format of the animation is incredible.
ugh, i love these videos. they fill the deep bottomless pit of confusion and loneliness in my heart, they're relatable in a way where it isn't outright and just molds so perfectly. thx vewn.
My take/interpretation: During the dinner scene, you can tell based on their POV in 0:30, they resorted to seeing life like a simulator, choosing opinions the same way you would in a video game, perhaps this is an undertone of when they search "how to eat dinner normally" in the bathroom, hinting that they struggle with social interactions. Perhaps it's because they have social issues due to how they're raised or might even be on the spectrum. When told "Why do u think there's a real you to be in the first place?" A sort of manipulation to gaslight her into staying, by brushing off their concerns. Familiar with the feeling of overstimulation, and not being able to know what is going on around you (as shown when they apologize to the mom, they don't seem to know what they have done or are being claimed to have done) I feel like this is what it feels like to want to escape and leave a toxic household, but fear and hesitation of the outside world holding you down (as shown in the end when a doppelganger of themself gets hit by the car, which they decide to return home) Hits home as its sadly common for these kind of fights to break out during family dinner I might (probably) be wrong, but at least this is how I view this Wonderful work as always from Vewn ^^
I love everything about the art style you've created.. I love the idea of warping and extreme exaggerated drawings. Keep up the amazing work! I'm a 3D artist and it's a pain to create such style.
WOWWWW this is my favorite one of the stuff you've done in a while! You really captured being chronically online, reality with the people around you, generational trauma, and toxicity brilliantly in just two minutes and with a few lines. I like her trying to live, getting sucked in by the internet, being grounded in reality (also trying to be herself being denied and being judged based on deep-rooted assumptions) then running and trying to be free on only to find she's trapped in something she was never really a part of in the first place. And she's trapped!! Her actual self got taken away by the world's cruelty. And we should probably mention the first girl being killed by this life. It wasn't what the protagonist expected at all.❤ My favorite part was how she was just accepted as the daughter even though she just put some clothes on, especially when the mom was talking about the generational trauma with her, really showing how kids are dragged into problems. My favorite part of the art was the colors of the rooms, especially how many times they changed in the mom's scene, and above all the jarring lines of the dinner room in the last shot. The shape of a reality that no longer fits you. I always look forward to your videos and I ran to the notification!! I'm excited for the next one :)
I really like the way you show things cause it really resonates with me. The overstimulation of family dinner and the way the mother treats the apology and the surreality and fear in the bright colors that makes it intense and idk I just really resonate with this
Never in my life clicked on a video so fast. This is simultaneously anxiety-inducing, depressing, and relatable. The colors and reverbed sounds/voices really draw you in. And the idea of how wanting something by looking at it on the outside prevents us from seeing the much less pleasant reality. Vewn, I really think you make some of the best content on youtube.
I recently stumbled upon your stuff again a few weeks ago, and my love for your art and animations has been lit again! What a coincidence that you upload a new animation so soon after I rediscovered you. Your art style is so unique yet very comforting, and you inspire me a lot!
Ok this is rly cool. It feels like a rly autistic piece of art. I like how it sorta portayed the feelings of autistic confusion. Every action is unintuitive and has a label attached to it. Ppl behave in a confusing way. Everyone around u is misunderstanding your intentions. I loved the scene where the main character decided to leave the room when it wasnt socially accepteble. I feel I rly resonated with it. Also I like how there was too many stimulus all the time.
I’m so genuinely excited when vewn uploads, fully knowing the existential horror ahead. In the current times, content like this feels like a breath above water. Also the style and voice acting just really coalesce into a great work of storytelling.
OMG I was just thinking about your animations and wondering about where you've been and then YOUR VIDEO just literally pops up and blesses my homepage. I'm so happy. I was just gonna rewatch some of the others.
In my opinion, the girl who committed suicide represents her purposely getting rid of her own/true self. The proof that this is the same girl all along is that she falls off the roof of the same house. The solution she finds to her problems of not fitting in (may be because of neurodivergence as overstimulation is later on experienced, or associates multiple types of differences that the protagonist may experiences) is pretending to be someone else, a more ‘normal’ or conventional version that would fit in the dinner table. When she comes back home she clearly has blood on her suit, but even if noticeable people do not care that much for people’s s struggles (also because her mom seemingly has her own problems, as she got cheated on her sense of normality has been broken but she has to keep on pretending that everything is alright). During the dinner the protagonist is not able to fit in, the dad doesn’t really care about the fact that the mom got cheated on and is upset. The main character then feels overwhelmed by what she’s given by the boy, and a blood drip comes out of her nose, one who seemingly has a face. I think this means that her true self slipped up, so she runs away in the bathroom and instead of suffering by ‘contemplating reality’ she just opens her phone like a lot of us as a form of escapism. When she comes back to the dinner table, revealing who she truly is in hope of having support no one actually cares about her struggles [in society], in fact they think it’s stupid that there would even be a real you in the first place, and you have to apologize when you weren’t in the wrong. When she wants to come back to her true self, she’s being robbed off of it, and loses her sense of self. This also in my eyes represents the dilemma of people who are in a toxic family: stay? Or not have a family? Is it better to not have a family, or one that’s horrible. At the end she just loses her self and fit in with the other, even if this family struggles and that she may become part of the problem.
i adore how many different interpretations i have of this that all resonate with me. i see transness in this, the experience of being autistic, experiencing neglect, & even dissociation. i love how your work doesn't force one interpretation either. what a stunning way to acknowledge & revisit trauma.
this feels like a dream but at the same time feels SO REAL. when the mc is sitting at the table at first i can FEEL it and i can feel the sensory like everything. poke in the shoulder the insistent buzz of operation its so good. keep it up!
vewn, i wish a very fulfilling new year, your art is always a breath of inspiration in the form of venomous nightmare, at least for me haha, love you !!
I think the other kid getting hit while crossing the street and immediately getting taken represents how dangerous the world can be without a family, even a bad one. Also that "The life you've always wanted" at the start just hits in an incomprehensible way.
It's incredible how this animation with vibrant tones and irregular lines manages to stir our emotions by showing the personal lives of strangely captivating characters.
I Interpret that the dead girl represents her “old self” or another version of herself with her family, she wears the same clothes yet she isn’t the same, being in a toxic household changes kids emotionally and can sometimes disassociate with themselves with reality. Everything is brightly colored and painful to look at, it’s like you aren’t there mentally. Everything has options, like your own body isn’t yours, and that you’re just watching someone else’s life. It seems like “the perfect life” but she feels like she doesn’t belong, and that she isn’t who everyone thinks she is. Her own mother and father aren’t responsible and treat her like an unwanted guest. When she tries to escape and leave the toxic household, the dead girl she saw earlier gets ran over, which can symbolize her having no safe space. She is stuck and the only place she come back to is the horrible living conditions. The only version she has left of herself is someone who isn’t appreciated in their own home.
Love the use of the song here. Love the different effects put onto it at different times. And of course, it goes without saying the animation style is always so gooooood. Just amazing art direction.
I felt that this animation is about how when you grow up to a certain age you realize that your family is a disaster and you have to swallow your feelings without any other option, it is not easy to accept and you decide +
+And you decide to move forward, discovering that your family was not what you saw, with no turning back you accept your destiny and It's time to live hell.

Your personality isn't your own, you're basing it off cartoons from TH-cam about kids not being loved or cared for properly. And having their innocence warped or snatched from them... that's what your "personality" is based of? It doesn't sound simple. Sounds lazy and cringe.
You are cool 😭👉🏻👈🏻 i luv u

Being autistic, this really hits home, the feeling of not belonging even in your own home, the senaory overload from the people around you, struggling to find order in a chaotic enviroment, little discomforts that make you want to leave (for me it's flies), etc... I love your animation and you are an amazing creator on this platform, thanks vewn!❤
its hard being the only autistic one in a chaotic house, it usually feels like no one is really on your team or gets you. I pretty much ran from home as soon as I had the means
are you atuti
I have autism too… 😢
Ok woke😂😂😂😂
i feel like you just read my mind, even down to the fly thing. I dont know if i’m autistic or not, (i’ve never been diagnosed and don’t want to self diagnose) i think both your comment and this video really hit SUPER close to home (❗️❗️)
God this is relatable. Feeling like you don’t fit in with your own life and feeling like you are someone else. Every thing just makes you want to vomit. And like you are being shunned from your own family. Feeling like who you are supposed to be is being killed slowly
I always feel like that but i feel it more intensely if u also have brain fog or super intense thoughts like ur watching urself in a movie u might wanna look up dpdr to better understand it or u probably just have a stressful family
Tommy Wright III and vewn is a nasty combo, didn't expect that but here we are.
you know, this is one of the first that's a real headscratcher for me.
but I feel like it represents wanting a life that seems great, it seems loving and fun, having a dinner together, with your whole family, but when then she realizes it really isn't what she wanted, misunderstandings, pressure, sadness, and when she tries to escape (going on her phone as an escapism), it stresses her even more. I feel like I can look a lot deeper into this one, because there's so many things it could be, but this is the first one that came to mind; wanting something because it looks so great and so different, but when you're truly apart of it you realize it isn't what you really wanted. it also seems like when she tries to go away to her own home, her only choice to get away is completely gone. setting her into her new life, since it says "go back HOME" at the end when she's going into her new home, it means this is her new home now. something she's apart of, even after she realized this isn't what she wanted
I think it shows partially that choice, especially things that will be permanent, are so important.
I can't wait to see everyone else's opinion on this :D
I completely agree
You hit the essence I think. It's the battle between the idealization of normal and how boring normal actually is. So many people want it, but once you have it all you want is to escape.
I felt that it was more a representation of what it feels like to not feel like yourself and the total alienation from others that results. Like you said there's that promise of "the life youve always wanted", but that promise is never fulfilled, creating that sense of alienation and non-belonging because you think that everything should be fine.And then there's the terror of thinking that you're the only person who feels that way and that you'll be accused and ridiculed if you're found out. That idea is represented by the mother, whose own fake reality has been shattered by finding out her husband has cheated, and seeing the lie that both her and the child are trying to live. And when the kid tries to escape that lie she finds that the truth she once lived has become someone else's lie, meaning she can never go back.
@@ndm13 this is also so true, really great way to look at it!
@@somespaghetti893 WOW this is such a good way to look at it, I didn't even think of this but it makes so much sense
You know it’s a good day when vewn uploads
A day to remember~
@@Srcsqwrnyeeess ssir~
yes vewn, i'm so happy you decided to upload right before new years, because that was around the time i discovered you last year. your content makes me feel so happy and nostolgic. ur lowkey top 3 animators ever. also, i dicovered this artist LITERALLY HOURS before this upload that you made cover art for named "chloe moriondo". isn't that crazy??? anyways this really made my day, thank you for everything victoria :)
Who are your other top 2 animators?
@@allyson-- aimkid definitely
What about worthikids? if you don't know them I def recommend watching some of there vids ☺️✨👍
I would recommend MysteryBen27! Telepurte is also one of my 3 favourites with Vewn
I wanna shoutout TAEETIMEE while I’m here, highly recommend them.
I can’t stop watching these, something about these videos resonates with me. I’ve been dealing with some mental stuff for a couple months now and these videos kinda give visuals to some of the things I’m feeling. Also the videos in general help me disassociate with reality, giving me the feeling of being high and introspective. I also love the voices, the girls voice is inexplicably soothing. Thanks Vewn!
I feel like this could be related to feeling like a really favorited friend. Yknow like when your friend comes over and your parents start comparing you to them and they feel more apart of the family than you? Except she doesn’t have a real family and finds one through yours- she’s always wanted this but then realizes your family has its own set of problems and is so focused on these things that she forgets about your experiences and may make you go through things alone or force you to be put in dangerous situations (car accident at end).
I feel like this could also be applied in a high school/work sense? Like if this wasn’t a home environment for example- you getting a promotion that someone else wanted or becoming friends with popular kids but at the cost of someone else being kicked out of the group.
The new environment that you wanted so bad is scary and you feel worse about being there bc someone else “died” for you to be in that place. Everyone else is already focused on their own issues, so you’re just expected to fit in immediately in their place and put up with things you weren’t expecting.
This art style is strangley comforting
because its good, whats so strange
The way the dialogue is mixed makes it all feel super surreal and dreamy. Keep up the good work!
Vewn is a once in a generation talent and I’m tired of pretending she’s not
the audio mixing is excellent, feels like a dream
I love this types of art style so much, the imperfections but still perfect, I don't know how to explain it I just love it, it makes me calm
it feels like i’ve been there in a dream. this is my favorite style of animation but there’s only a few things that actually give me this feeling
I love how your work shows me the possibilities of animation, that the line didn’t need to be smooth, object didn’t need to always stays the same, and the perspective is anti-realistic, but this is still such an unique and beautiful piece to tell a story.
The part with the mum leaving and then gaslighting her really hit home, oh my gosh

I'm literary at the toilet trying to come down from a family&friends dinner right now...too accurate
this one has grown on me even more since you uploaded it. manipulating the music depending on the scene, the wide distorted angles, the monotone voice acting, etc. even the way the patrons come up at the end and the pace at which they’re shown. your videos are always so perfect.
Does anyone know what the painting at 1:39 is referencing (if anything)?

It’s such a radically different life than what I’ve experienced personally, but I really felt like I was peering into someone else’s life and I understood the emotion you were feeling in those moments. It takes a really talented person to be able to convey emotion and story telling to an audience of people who might have had a totally different upbringing and have it resonate with them. This was really good, as sad as it was.
Awesome. Had to rewatch it a few times for the meaning to really sink in. Always happy when Vewn posts, her storytelling is absurdly unique and so incredibly inspiring. What she manages to do with the simplest forms and most basic layouts is incredibly entertaining her work oozes personality and you feel like youve been in the places she portrays in her work. She manages to capture the essence and or the exact feeling of being young and stuck someplace thats unhealthy(dangerous even), in a way i have never seen any other animator do. The grittiness and crazy perspectives, all the crazy angles making the buildings ands streets look crooked it all lends to her storytelling and the running themes she utilizes. Youth, innocence, purity, responsibility, shit adults, violence, drugs, social media and overuse of internet, phones raising our children, broken family life, peer pressure, sexualization of younger and younger females.
Im thankful for Vewn she inspires me ❤
The exaggerated, sketchy angles and perspective make your animations so trippy and other-worldly, I love how you interpret the world
hi caitilin koi
hey i know you
something about 0:51, the finger touching the shoulder, made me feel shrimp emotions. this entire animation has themes that i can relate to autism but there's something about that moment specifically, the detailed zoom on such a small motion, that REALLY does it
This is what greening out feels like
Ugh. I relate so much to this.
In the role of a dysfunctional home, I matched the term 'outsider child'. I would go outside and maladaptive daydream for over half of my childhood. Anything else was overstimulating.
The dad telling the kid to go apologize reminded me of when I tried to get my mom to leave dad so she wouldnt get hurt anymore. He blamed me for them almost divorcing, and my mom solidified it by getting back with him the very next day.
So everytime something traumatic happened, I felt like a version of me died, and I had to come back and be something else. Repeatedly it was like I was trying to find the mask/version of myself that fit in.
Art is amazing.
stop this is perfect. you put this feeling in words like ughhhh
In Vewn we trust
i swear vewn is such a one a kind artist she’s so creative in a such a iconic way
I love these animations, they calm me down, no matter what story it's telling, even if it's from Brazil, I think the format of the animation is incredible.
ugh, i love these videos. they fill the deep bottomless pit of confusion and loneliness in my heart, they're relatable in a way where it isn't outright and just molds so perfectly. thx vewn.
My take/interpretation:
During the dinner scene, you can tell based on their POV in 0:30, they resorted to seeing life like a simulator, choosing opinions the same way you would in a video game, perhaps this is an undertone of when they search "how to eat dinner normally" in the bathroom, hinting that they struggle with social interactions. Perhaps it's because they have social issues due to how they're raised or might even be on the spectrum.
When told "Why do u think there's a real you to be in the first place?" A sort of manipulation to gaslight her into staying, by brushing off their concerns.
Familiar with the feeling of overstimulation, and not being able to know what is going on around you (as shown when they apologize to the mom, they don't seem to know what they have done or are being claimed to have done)
I feel like this is what it feels like to want to escape and leave a toxic household, but fear and hesitation of the outside world holding you down (as shown in the end when a doppelganger of themself gets hit by the car, which they decide to return home)
Hits home as its sadly common for these kind of fights to break out during family dinner
I might (probably) be wrong, but at least this is how I view this
Wonderful work as always from Vewn ^^
this is my favorite interpretation
i love how this time vewn made it look like a crazy dream portrayed as a video game
It's hard for me to describe how much I love your work. This one in particular really hits home.
I love how everything you make always has a deep meaning full message.
I love everything about the art style you've created.. I love the idea of warping and extreme exaggerated drawings. Keep up the amazing work! I'm a 3D artist and it's a pain to create such style.
WOWWWW this is my favorite one of the stuff you've done in a while! You really captured being chronically online, reality with the people around you, generational trauma, and toxicity brilliantly in just two minutes and with a few lines. I like her trying to live, getting sucked in by the internet, being grounded in reality (also trying to be herself being denied and being judged based on deep-rooted assumptions) then running and trying to be free on only to find she's trapped in something she was never really a part of in the first place. And she's trapped!! Her actual self got taken away by the world's cruelty.
And we should probably mention the first girl being killed by this life. It wasn't what the protagonist expected at all.❤
My favorite part was how she was just accepted as the daughter even though she just put some clothes on, especially when the mom was talking about the generational trauma with her, really showing how kids are dragged into problems.
My favorite part of the art was the colors of the rooms, especially how many times they changed in the mom's scene, and above all the jarring lines of the dinner room in the last shot. The shape of a reality that no longer fits you.
I always look forward to your videos and I ran to the notification!! I'm excited for the next one :)
Yeah, it's just a cycle that repeats and repeats and repeats...
I really like the way you show things cause it really resonates with me. The overstimulation of family dinner and the way the mother treats the apology and the surreality and fear in the bright colors that makes it intense and idk I just really resonate with this
As always its fantastic and a wild story front to back. So in love with your use of perspective and framing
The second the colors went from warm to cool so quickly made my eyes had to adjust to it, it's so amazing.
this animation is so beautiful and the chaos portrays the message well
Never in my life clicked on a video so fast. This is simultaneously anxiety-inducing, depressing, and relatable. The colors and reverbed sounds/voices really draw you in. And the idea of how wanting something by looking at it on the outside prevents us from seeing the much less pleasant reality. Vewn, I really think you make some of the best content on youtube.
yeh i guess. the whole video was funny to me because i couldnt take it seriously because of the music, but ya the animation is sick as fuck
I recently stumbled upon your stuff again a few weeks ago, and my love for your art and animations has been lit again!
What a coincidence that you upload a new animation so soon after I rediscovered you. Your art style is so unique yet very comforting, and you inspire me a lot!
Ok this is rly cool. It feels like a rly autistic piece of art. I like how it sorta portayed the feelings of autistic confusion. Every action is unintuitive and has a label attached to it. Ppl behave in a confusing way. Everyone around u is misunderstanding your intentions. I loved the scene where the main character decided to leave the room when it wasnt socially accepteble. I feel I rly resonated with it. Also I like how there was too many stimulus all the time.
I love the way you use color and strange perspectives. The timing/pacing is unpredictable and keeps me on my toes. Love your work.
I’m so genuinely excited when vewn uploads, fully knowing the existential horror ahead. In the current times, content like this feels like a breath above water.
Also the style and voice acting just really coalesce into a great work of storytelling.
8 months later and Vewn remembering the password is a Christmas miracle
beautiful animation as always! youre such huge inspo to me :) I love the narratives you create. They feel like animated poetry
0:57 “bro these edibles ain’t sh-“
OMG I was just thinking about your animations and wondering about where you've been and then YOUR VIDEO just literally pops up and blesses my homepage. I'm so happy. I was just gonna rewatch some of the others.
omg literally same
Right lol!@@user-ft6je
In my opinion, the girl who committed suicide represents her purposely getting rid of her own/true self. The proof that this is the same girl all along is that she falls off the roof of the same house. The solution she finds to her problems of not fitting in (may be because of neurodivergence as overstimulation is later on experienced, or associates multiple types of differences that the protagonist may experiences) is pretending to be someone else, a more ‘normal’ or conventional version that would fit in the dinner table. When she comes back home she clearly has blood on her suit, but even if noticeable people do not care that much for people’s s struggles (also because her mom seemingly has her own problems, as she got cheated on her sense of normality has been broken but she has to keep on pretending that everything is alright). During the dinner the protagonist is not able to fit in, the dad doesn’t really care about the fact that the mom got cheated on and is upset. The main character then feels overwhelmed by what she’s given by the boy, and a blood drip comes out of her nose, one who seemingly has a face. I think this means that her true self slipped up, so she runs away in the bathroom and instead of suffering by ‘contemplating reality’ she just opens her phone like a lot of us as a form of escapism. When she comes back to the dinner table, revealing who she truly is in hope of having support no one actually cares about her struggles [in society], in fact they think it’s stupid that there would even be a real you in the first place, and you have to apologize when you weren’t in the wrong. When she wants to come back to her true self, she’s being robbed off of it, and loses her sense of self. This also in my eyes represents the dilemma of people who are in a toxic family: stay? Or not have a family? Is it better to not have a family, or one that’s horrible. At the end she just loses her self and fit in with the other, even if this family struggles and that she may become part of the problem.
This is such a cool theory whattt
Interesting interpretation! I still don't know what to make of all this
omggg idgaf
@@huuuuunny9385who asked for your opinion dude
this is brilliant, thank u.
vewn's videos are so special. They're always unique, creative, and the perfect amount of weird.
Vewn’s style is so iconic but i love how each film has its own feel and identity, like the video game point & click style and the music choices
Is this surealist painting?
No, this is :perspective to hell with it" dimension
This was defenitly an experience worth seeing
i adore how many different interpretations i have of this that all resonate with me. i see transness in this, the experience of being autistic, experiencing neglect, & even dissociation. i love how your work doesn't force one interpretation either. what a stunning way to acknowledge & revisit trauma.
Amazing as always! You push the aesthetic qualities in such unique ways
2:03 I should not have laughed at this. Also hopefully YT doesn't delete my comment this time.

The spiraling and dissociation part felt very real , I love vewn’s creation , they’re always great.
vewn came to save the end of this year! love ur channel and art, its a pleasure to see what u create ❤
I like seeing how much your animation improves! Those transitions and angles are nice!
Idk how but Vewns animations somehow manage to simultaneously be the most comforting upsetting videos
The dreams you wake up from after a shit night, that you can remember just long enough to be like "what the actual..." before you forget them forever.
1:59 HELP THE EFFECT
vewn, i wish a very fulfilling new year, your art is always a breath of inspiration in the form of venomous nightmare, at least for me haha, love you !!
I think the other kid getting hit while crossing the street and immediately getting taken represents how dangerous the world can be without a family, even a bad one. Also that "The life you've always wanted" at the start just hits in an incomprehensible way.
It's incredible how this animation with vibrant tones and irregular lines manages to stir our emotions by showing the personal lives of strangely captivating characters.
Just realized during the phone scene that those flashes are 988 and you’re not alone messages… great attention to detail!!
Man the dinner and bathroom part I felt it a lot , the disassociation and spiraling is so true.
I Interpret that the dead girl represents her “old self” or another version of herself with her family, she wears the same clothes yet she isn’t the same, being in a toxic household changes kids emotionally and can sometimes disassociate with themselves with reality. Everything is brightly colored and painful to look at, it’s like you aren’t there mentally. Everything has options, like your own body isn’t yours, and that you’re just watching someone else’s life. It seems like “the perfect life” but she feels like she doesn’t belong, and that she isn’t who everyone thinks she is. Her own mother and father aren’t responsible and treat her like an unwanted guest. When she tries to escape and leave the toxic household, the dead girl she saw earlier gets ran over, which can symbolize her having no safe space. She is stuck and the only place she come back to is the horrible living conditions. The only version she has left of herself is someone who isn’t appreciated in their own home.
I love your art SM and I love how your videos are so silly and dark at the same time 😭
Love the use of the song here. Love the different effects put onto it at different times.
And of course, it goes without saying the animation style is always so gooooood. Just amazing art direction.
@fr0wneyxf4cey62 it says it in the description, its some tommy wright song
I felt that this animation is about how when you grow up to a certain age you realize that your family is a disaster and you have to swallow your feelings without any other option, it is not easy to accept and you decide +
+And you decide to move forward, discovering that your family was not what you saw, with no turning back you accept your destiny and It's time to live hell.
its amazing how well they capture overstimulation
YES YOU'RE BACK
