- I'm touring America with some friends! Get your tix at scribbleshowdo... Hello I'm back! This is gonna be a long story. I've kinda been working on this on and off the past couple of months. I designed and rigged my model last year but wasn't really sure what to do with it so I'm giving it a try in the animations. Sorry about the janky quality.

domics always comes back at the most unexpected times
When would be an expected time ?

hi brook
weird that I used to watch Domics when i was a pre-teen, who was just kinda watching him be in adulthood misery. But now, im a fully functional adult and i understand his misery. How time flies.
Yeah man adulthood is traumatic af! I hate it here.
Nah fr!!!
Same! Started watching it as a teen stressing about exams, and now I’m a mom stressing over 2 kids under age 3 😐
Yep😂😂 funny how that works
Me too. He was my childhood. How are you now?
Boy! I feel ya. I'm Nigerian and to get or renew a passport here requires a damn near blood sacrifice. The system is so screwed and you have to jump through so many hoops and pay so many bribes it's ridiculous
Bribes?! Excuse me!!
@@MrAnniTagada what do you mean excuse me. bribes are normal in corrupt countries
@@tacorito1809 you mean a country which has a corruption problem not a corrupt country. Right?
@@HerMi.T same difference
The problem is people pay the bribes. If no one paid the bribes and I mean absolutely no one they wouldn’t have bribery
This is literally something that has been impacting me for three years. My passport expired during COVID and I saw no reason to apply for an adult passport until I established a long-distance relationship with a partner in Chicago. Applying for passport renewals or getting a new one is such a LENGTHY process it really hurts :')
JAN. 2024 UPDATE: I didn't expect my comment to gain so much traction HAHA I guess we were all suffering as much as Dom was 9 months ago, but I got my passport in June 2023!! I hope this means that you have yours too but thank you for the support and funny interactions from everyone! You're all gems
Photoshop a fake ticket and say you're traveling in 3 weeks time. They will put you to the front of the line! I got my Canadian passport in 2 and a half weeks!

As another Canadian needing a new passport I felt everything in this video in my soul
Same, while waiting outside there was a crackhead on the street constantly flashing us
@@lemthealchemist641 wow
Passport wait times are back to normal. Thank god I renewed for 10 years prior to COVID, I don’t envy the people that had to apply during the post-lockdown rush.
“Oh wow this is a cool video, well animated too”
Shitty 3D model jumpscare:
Ikr. At least the kids are mostly 2d animation
Love to have you back! Your content is always incredible! That new motion tracked animation is an abomination though 😂
it looks good! but the sync is off and distracts me
IKR ... First Jaden and now Domics, I do not like this trend ...
It's so bad. I hate the entire trend.
I do not like it
Well jeez guys i mean i thought it was cute
Nothing better than the channels I watched in my teens suddenly coming back. Feels like a reunion.
Glad you're still around. I too, have been having passport renewal stress. This shit is so damn complicated and strung out. You'd think paying a bit more to have it expedited would would take some stress off your back, but they don't even give you a date or anything to "track" the progress or let you know the passport is passporting correctly.
EDIT: I got my passport in time for my flight! Finally visited my family after so long of not seeing them!
lol passporting... I'm sorry to hear about this struggle. It's stupid. But this video made for some really great laughs
If you're in the US you can go online to track it. But yeah the process is pretty BS, for example you need to fill out an application form but on the application it says certain things/pieces of information aren't required but they actually are required (there are actually a handful of errors on the application form that I guess they're aware of but just nobody decided to fix?) and you/I will not find this out unless you make an appointment and the person you speak to is kind enough to let you know that if you don't add this information that it said isn't required then your application will get denied. That and there's a ton of unnecessary back and forth traveling. Getting your passport renewed actually feels like some kind of tedious quest where you have to run all over and speak to a bunch of different random people as completion conditions
wowwww this passport series makes me extremely grateful to live in Denmark where it literally took me maybe 2 hours of effort and a few days of waiting to get a new passport a couple years back😅 so happy you got your passport renewed in time at the end!!
I found Domics after he decided to leave, proceeded to binge watch his videos for several weeks, and then learned of his temporary departure. I hope the algorithm will continue to bring blessings upon him, so that more can be brought to his great works.
No offense, but he's one of the original big story time animators and has 7 mil subscribers

Bruh it's the same happened to me, I literally was binging other animation channels like tj toons then I found domics, and literally the same thing happened.

It surprised me how complicated it has been made to renew a passport. In Australia, you need basic documentation that proves who you are, take it to an office that makes sure the documents are legit - which literally took 10 minutes (including waiting to be seen) and then you hand in your forms + new photos (which can be done there if needed) in to the post office and they send if off. Took about 2 weeks to get my new passport without paying for a faster processing :)
Australia-Canadia
Thank you for telling us chumps some people have standards 😂 I guess now we know better
Same where I live! It's ridiculous it takes so long in Canada.
and in singapore it took me 4 days :”)
I remember falling asleep while binge-watching/listening to these videos right before the hiatus. So glad you are back brings back sweet memories^^
So real. Domics should straight up do audiobooks or something. I love his vocal delivery and tone. It's soooo chill.
@@blueb4ryz951 oh yess! Audiobooks would be great
It’s so good to have you back!!! The face-tracked animation gives me the heebie jeebies tho
Probably saves a ton of animation time. Animating himself probably takes a lot of effort.
@@Popcornchicken42 it does but this sucks
@@rock4glory713 yeah it seems lazy, I do agree.
@@Popcornchicken42 I don't even care about that, its just some trash v-tuber-type garbage and it's just bad
@@rock4glory713 Right
I'm an American and it took me over half of a year and three separate applications for my passport renewal. They kept the fees from the first time and charged me again when I went in person, making the whole thing set me back around $450 between mailing, expedite fees, and service fees. I missed my best friend's wedding reception in Pakistan.
Side note: I've been subbed to Domics since the channel had like three videos. I'm happy I've gotten to see the channel grow to where it is today. Thank you for all of the joy you've brought me through the years and congrats on your successes - you've deserved them. :)
Welcome back Dom :) Passport stories are always interesting because communication is almost never existent between workers.
Why is this a problem in every country

Sorry people are mean. I’m not a huge fan of the animation, but I love that you’re exploring and trying new things! And I’m always here for your entertaining stories ♥️
It's so good to have you back. Been watching you since 2017 and it's such a strange sense of relief to see you pop up again. Please take care of yourself and do not overexert in your chaotic endeavors ❤🔥
The dead-eyed, un-synchronized mouth motion tracked avatar is wildly out of character for someone who spends so much time making his animations feel so fluid

Started watching as a pre-teen now I'm in my late teens. Always will be my favorite animation channel, no matter how infrequent.
Glad to have you back!! Not a huge fan of the new style but you do you!!
Yeah it looks like a Snapchat filter lol
Also not a fan of the VTuber approach, but if that makes videos easier and/or more comfortable to make, so be it.

No joke, this is EXACTLY whats happening with my girlfriend and I. We’re going on a Disneyland trip on the 24th, and her passport expires September. SO that means we also just missed the 30 day window and now we are looking at specifically doing express pickup. THANK YOU DOMICS!! 😊
Domics has emerged from his hibernation and evolved into a butterfly before our eyes to once again provide us with content.
Dear Domics your animations have had a impact in my life and the most impactful one was your highschool relationship with a girl and you taught us a very good listen thank you for being amazing and being great
My mom went through a similar situation recently with her passport renewal, fortunately not as bad as yours though. Honestly that model looks smooth, might take a bit of getting used to but I look forward to seeing more of it
4:39 the way she just rolls up and starts walking like an animatronic is so satisfying
Seeing this video made me realize it was you at the Passport Centre! I was there to pick up my sisters passport weeks after our first visit, and saw you and your friends in the McDonalds. I was nervous to approach yah but got my order and left lol :) Welcome back from your well deserved break!
It's so good to have you back, Dom!! Looking forward to part 2!
I appreciate this update not merely for the update itself, but simply as a sign of life. I'd been worried about you but realized there was nothing I could do about the situation but hope things improved for you. Thank you for staying, and thank you for coming back.
@breddiecheekies TLDR, overwork/burnout + failure of business venture + online haters = severe mental health crisis. I'm probably making it sound a lot less worse that it actually was.

This just made my day! Felt a bit of nostalgia here tbh. I'm just happy and hope you're doing good and had fun making this. ❤
Welcome back. I sincerely hope you are in a better headspace these days. You seem like a genuinely kind human. As far as passports... I feel your pain man. I wish you all the luck. A lot of times, immigration related situations can happen sooner than you'd expect. Hope you make your trip as planned!
I never left. And hearing a new story of this caliber is certainly refreshing after all this time. It's also cool that Shenpai was in this.
Mmmmaaannnn, seeing that intro once again after what feels like years is sooo awesome! - Thanks for getting back to us!!!
domics and travel paperwork are sworn enemies at this point 😭
Thankfully i leave in India. The passport arrives by the end of the week
0:53 only OG's know Dominic Punjabob
I'm glad you're back, Domics. We all awaited your fated return...! I hope you're doing well, and I'll continue to support you for (hopefully) 10 more years!!
When the world needed him most, he returned
Hey Dom,
I haven't really been keeping up with your content and saw the brb video just yesterday. Just wanted to share some thoughts with you. You can never please EVERYONE. You do you man, your personal happiness should be your first priority. Since you are posting again, hope you enjoyed your break and are in a better head space now!
Forever one of your followers.
Yeppp. And this is why I _always_ take care of potential passport troubles months before my planned trip.
I noticed the first time around how bloody long it took (luckily I had time to spare then), so I went "duly noted", so now that's something I make sure to never procrastinate on.
6:36 never have I ever thought that SHENPAI of all people would be in a Domics video, but okay good on her.
I KNEW THAT VOICE WAS FAMILIAR. 😂
When we least expected him, he returned as glorious as ever
so glad you’re back dom, grew up with your videos and i’m glad you took the time you needed.
DOM IS BACK!!!
I discovered you after you had already taken your break, and i was really hungry for more, so this is a blessing!
Glad to have you back and to see you’re doing ok Dom!
Great to have you back and hope you’re feeling well ♥️ glad you took the time for yourself Dom!
When we needed him most, he returned. We missed you
I dont like online. But if i have no choicd i can do it in that form.
I actually discovered Domz after he stopped posting. It's exciting to see that you're back!!!
As a Filipino and a holder of a weak passport, I have been trained to renew passports even before the 6 months margin.
It's the Visa thing that hits hard for us. We're required to show booked flights and hotels, travel itinerary, show money. All that preparation and the embassy handling our visa application can just say nope and our monetary deposits go down the drain.
a lot of corruption in the immigration and travel industry
Be strong, Dom! We're counting on you
Glad dom is feeling relaxed enough to drop us a video
I saw Passport and immediately grabbed popcorn to watch the madness. Always happy to see a new vid ; can't wait for the next one!
Ooooof, I feel the pain of passport renewal, I live in South Africa. ANY sort of document application is a pain. Like what you described, you have to go to a specific place, wait in a queue, and hope the people working that day are in a good mood. It doesn’t even matter if you have an appointment, or if you arrive at dawn and are first in line, there’s no guarantee that you will get anything done. We don’t only have to deal with incompetent people, but there’s another phenomenon that makes the skin of every South African crawl…
“We’re so sorry, but our system is down.”
This happens almost every week, and it never gets fixed quickly enough. It’s actually longer to get the process STARTED than it is for the actual passport or whatever other document to be ready.
PS, I actually quite like the new animated style for your avatar, it’d pretty cool!
I'm South African and this is so true 😭
Dom has become one with the v-tubers. Happy to see you still kicking.
I didn't realized he came back
This must be an alternate reality.
There is no way Domics just uploaded.
Jokes aside, I can't wait to start watching your videos again. I grew up with them and they've had a huge impact on my childhood.
Especially because today I randomly remembered his channel and decided to watch some old videos. So it was crazy that a few hours later he posted this!
I am so happy that your channel is back! Hoping that you are felling better now.
This really caught me by surprise! Good to see you back Dom!
Fitz, domics, and eroldstory all comeback on the same day. ALL THREE OF MY DADS ARE BACK

Well I had the same issue back in June 2022 and the woman told me that people have take advantage of the expedited system and usually fake their bookings. But if you book your flight, have the correct information and documents it isn't really a problem
RIP Domics' sanity. Happy to see you're back!
It's good to see you back! It's good to see you feeling better, I hope the rigged model helps with the animation time and burnout
I'm glad you agree in saying the model looks aquward and bad
Hi Domics!! you are blessing me with this video at 3 a.m. After my grafuation party , thanks man!
Dude that moment with the lady asking for proof of travel when making sure the passport is in order BEFORE booking the trip is so relatable... Paperwork is ridiculous like that.The temptation to lie when you're an honest citizen trying to do things right is also so damn on point, it hurts.
It's ok, I understand. Good to see you again, Domics! The wait was totally worth it. No need to worry ;)

I've been waiting for a long time now ngl
Glad to have you back Domics, we missed u no matter the Vtuber aesthetic
Finally, I thought this channel is just a legacy of yours.. glad to see you creating more..
Ahhh that sounds awful, I recently went to try and get my passport renewed this year for a trip and luckily I was capable of doing it in person, after a heavy snow storm so most people wouldn’t try to go. Only waited 15 min while any other day would have had to waited 3 hours. I really do hope your story has a happy ending though😭
the way i smiled when i saw this video, whatching one of my favourite channels coming back is magical
Yay! Dom, we're so happy you're back! We love you!
I like the new model, especially how you implemented it here mixing it with animation and using the model for extended talking sections or explanations that wouldn't benefit that much from being animated but would still take a bit of work to animate. I dont feel like it takes away from the vid and Im sure it makes it a lot easier on you, plus a model like that can give expression that animation cant always give so its a nice mix. Also I watch a lot of v-tuber content so I'm used to it xD
I also feel the same way although in my opinion I find it a little jarring from the sudden switching and the contrast between the style, it could just be my opinion alone that thinks this tho so I'm not sure. Maybe just a few tweaks or maybe just some time to get used to it.
@@Auris-Music It's a first model. With some careful planning and a redraw it could be made to match the rest of the video's style much more closely and clear that jarring feeling, but it is WAY less effort to use than manual lip syncing for all of those. I can't blame him for it, but I do much prefer the old style. It's chibi model quality. It has a time and a place, but I don't feel that time or place is between his normal animation.
@@sphygo I see the obvious reasons for having it and I do like having a little bit of “life” in the vid so I just think it’s needs some work. Big ups for Dom tho
