I’m the most impressed with the fact they figured that there were only four “collectors” (who we now know are the Archivists) and didn’t assume they were in the hundreds like others had predicted!
It doesn’t feel like Collector was forced to collaborate on a plan to genocide everyone on the Boiling Isles. It’s true that Belos made a false promise to open his prison. But Collector knew everyone was going to end up dead and was fine with it; he even made a little poem about it. Then he called out Belos killing his cloned nephews over and over again, and he just seemed to think it was funny.
@@jiado6893 It's mainly because the Collector seems to lack a sense of identidy, in a way. Depending on what game they're playing, they will change and act according to it. With Phillip, the collector saw how Phillip isn't a good guy, like, at all, and does a lot of bad stuff, the Collector then saw that as "playing as the villain" and decided to act all evil, i mean, once Phillip reveals that he wasn't going to keep his promise, the Collector way of talking suddently changed and he started to act more like a child, not trying to rhym at all. Like his appearence, he is impressionable just like a child, if someone who they consider as they friend acts or talk a certain way, they will adapt to it, now with King, a child like him, he will not need to put an act anymore thanks to both beings kids. Also, yeah, he was pretty much forced, think bout their story again. They've been alone, for like, THOUSANDS of years, in one of King's "dreams", you can clearly see that they're scared of being alone again and it's desperate for someone to play with them, once he heard King, he didn't want him to go, so yeah, he had only two options, being alone for god knows how long, or trust Phillip. The Collector being okay with everyone dying isn't... Okay, but as an immortal being who's also a child with no sense of consequences, we can see as to why he didn't think much bout the consequences of the spell as the only thing he wanted was to be free and have a friend to play with, but we know he's aware that some things are bad since he seemed to feel bad or sad once they mention how King's entire species was killed because of their magic to weaken the Collectors.
OHHH THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! I love how you portray their story and on beat with the song so well! My favorite part is at 2:20 where everyone has their eyes covered by shadows looking at the collector with the exception of Luz….she’s the only one looking at them with no shades of shadows on her eyes, seeing him for what he is.
i think its because, the collector knows luz's name, but he also sees hunter gus willow and amity as just "luz's friends" so they wouldn't be recognizable since the collector see's that as "side characters". he doesn't really know their names, he just thinks they are some silly backup to luz's plan. but the collector knows who luz is and what she wants to do, she wants to take king back. and luz is the villain in his story, and he really wants to make a custom redemption ark for her so that they can play. but only luz. so if he knows what luz wants and who she is as the main character, then he would see her eyes.
@@OLD_ACC713 true! Another thing is that I wanted to show Luz's view on the collector slowly changing through the course of the video too. From what she knew about them from hollow mind and then taking King away, to sympathizing with him, so this scene adds on to that transition basically
damn…. this really puts into perspective how the collector is just a kid who’s probably been manipulated his entire life, and all he wants is a genuine friend. it makes him seem more innocent, which is really interesting also, i love this art style so much, i’d honestly die to read a comic or something in this style. the way you draw the collector with buck teeth is so cute!!
I love how this actually is still close to how watching and dreaming plays out! The collector is definitely my favourite character, how he’s shown here is gorgeous
It’s cool to see the backstory and origin behind the original group of collectors who seemed to come to the titans to try to put them in monster scrolls and, when they refused, tried to intimidate them with their super abilities until they realized that a titan's power can counter that of a collector's. It’s sad seeing how our current little collector seemed to really love titans and find their hatchlings adorable, but everything fell apart when the collectors decided to commit genocide upon titan kind...
2:09 I love the way Luz was drawn here, it's not only funny, but depicts how The Collector saw Luz. 2:16 tells a different story. Everybody seems mad at The Collector, but Luz is just staring at them. She genuinely looks like she feels bad, and she probably does.
Man watching this after watching and dreaming, they really were just a kid. SPOILERS: Luz mentioning how the collector didnt have a concept of death then actually dying trying to protect Collector was probably such a painful wake up call. It puts into perspective that they really were *just a kid.* Bravo on this, it sums it up perfectly even though it came out before the episode lmao
Holy crap. How'd you put the entire history of one God in less than 2 minutes? And so beautifully made too. It's like a whole rundown on The Collector and showing everyone their motives and how easy it is to make mess based on a misunderstanding. You, are awasome!
This entire thing is incredible but something I really really want to point out is the colors. I really started to pay attention to the colors the first time I watched it at 0:40 when the contrast was really obvious, and then again at 1:12 where the colors keep changing and the green caught my eye. At the start The Titans and Collectors were all black & white on a colorful blue, purple & orange background: obviously, the colors of our Little Collector, which is already great in and of itself because we love our Collector but it also just makes the art look really nice. I think it's especially effective in the frames where our Collector is one of the only colored parts. He stands out and is isolated from the rest of the picture in a way. (0:49, 0:52 & 0:57) Then 1:02 and 1:05 are the dullest parts of the first segment, the colors darkened from the vibrant shades that've been used so far, corresponding to our Collector's mental state in those moments. And as I mentioned before, at 1:09 that changes, and now there's green, too, completely altering the mood. When the middle part with Philip comes in, 1:20, the colors are even more desaturated, with the exception of the Collector's star doodles at 1:24. The Collector themselves are in their shadow form now, so even they are colorless. Not only does this make the cave seem dark, but it's also just... generally the aura any place with Philip is going to have, lol. Also, it could also correspond with our Collector's mental state, at least in hindsight when they've realized that Philip was using them. Notably, the value is even throughout the whole segment until 1:33, when King comes in, bringing back the brighter colors with him, which is again suitable for the way our Collector should be feeling right about now. The colors are still not as bright as in the beginning, still more similar to the middle segment, but now there're yellows instead of just the gloomy blues from before. (Compare 1:31 with 1:37) By the point our Collector has taken over, 1:44, the colors go back to how they were at the beginning. Blues and purples, black and white, and occasional orange. Since the part starting at 2:02 basically recaps what's already happened, it makes sense. We get the same pallette as the beginning as we see the Collectors again. Then Philip is as dull as ever! I think my favorite part, the one I give the most importance to, is that at 2:11 we go BACK to the Philip colors as (at least in our Collector's point of view) King essentially BECOMES Philip! It's perfect! 2:14 is unique. I don't think there's been a single frame all in oranges/orange-adjacent coloring until this. There were a few very orange frames at the start, but something about them was different (maybe because they had a lot of white, which this one has none of.) It definitely works to catch your eye as a frame that stands out from the rest, which is good since it lasts so long compared to the others. There ought to be something special about it to catch your attention. It looks nice. And then it all comes together for the perfect ending, 2:30. I don't know how to say this other than to say that I don't think it would have worked if the colors were more normal. Our Collector is isolated again as the only blue in the frame, and then joins the other, yellow-lineart characters and just, like, belongs I guess. I'm not sure how much of it is completely intentional, how much was subconscious, or how much I'm just overthinking it, but sometimes people can do something genius by pure accident anyways, so I don't think it really matters whether or not it was all perfectly planned out. In any case - fantastic job! (Edited to fix a timestamp)
Oh man this was so fun to read, technically I used the colours with multiple intentions in mind so you wouldn't be wrong about any really Plus adding onto the ending part with the collector being blue, it's supposed to represent his mind being controlled by belos (with his blue eyes at the back too, watching and waiting for him to make a move) and collector looking at the puppetifying moon in his hand, lets go of it and joins the other side (literally lol) and isn't blue anymore (not controlled by belos)
@@dlsintigrating7956 Aaaah yeah I thought the eyes were a Belos thing! I didn't notice the connection with the blue though or the puppetifying moon. That's so cool! I'm surprised I missed something like that though with how long my comment ended up being lol I love the symbolism with the blue then too! When I was writing the comment I wasn't too sure about what meaning the colors could have in that part so it's nice to have an answer to that. Knowing that makes the end even more satisfying, little Collector deserves to get away from that dude forever
What a superb animatic! I love the section of 2:07 to 2:09 as it really sums a lot about the Collector. They're so desperate to cling onto King, who looks much like a doll here, showing how they treat him more like a possession than an equal because they're so afraid to let go of him. Luz looms over as a threat who will take King away from them, but the fact the drawing is done in crayon helps highlight how childlike and innocent the Collector is.
This has to be the best GRRRLS animation I've seen yet! The fact you animated through the whole song, and had it hit every feeling grit and sense of weighted lore into the story is so amazing! I love the way you interpreted the Titans too, they look so epic and the other Collectors so much more terrifying! Thrilling yet pensive, that's honestly the best way to describe this work. The stylization and visual nods to the story is everything 🍂🙏🏿✨
Not sure if anyone hasn't pointed it out yet but in 2:15 You can see that Luz is the only one who's eyes arent covered/against the collector. which is a pretty neat detail!
2:08. Ok. This part I feel just stood out to me the most as it depicts the Collectors perspective on Luz as a person. The way he protectively hugs the "King" doll from the "evil banshee" scribble figure Luz trying to "take" his best friend away....😢😢😢❤
This so beautifully made. The story, the colours and even the artstyle. All of it is so amazing, definitely my new favourite animatic for The Owl House.
THIS JUST CEMENTED MY LOVE AND EMPATHY FOR THE COLLECTOR. The way everything was portrayed here is canon, until proven otherwise. It seems WAY too accurate, and real. Alongside that, the art style is *chef's kiss* sooo Good! I love the key detail where in Collector's perspective, Luz is a meanie that wants to steal king. And how King will abandon him too for Luz. This is so good, the song surprisingly fit too :D
OMG THIS IS JUST AMAZING!!! I LOVED THE STYLE, THE COLORS, THE WAY YOU TELLED THIS LITTLE STORY... EVERYTHING'S PERFECT!!! IT MADE ME FEEL SO BAD FOR THE COLLECTOR. Like, he's just a kid! Just think about being a playful kid and being trapped for YEARS completely alone. I know some people want The Collector to be defeated, but I do hope my kid get a redemption arc. Good job!
The collector is so underrated. Everyone blames him for everything and doesn't bother to get to know him. It's that sort of stereotype that gets others everytime. 😞
I already loved The Collector, but I LOVE this way of viewing them. This animation is SO GOOD and coherent and it looks like there was a lot of effort put in. AND you got it out before the series ends! That’s impressive. Respect.
OH MY GOD!!! After watching the finale "Watching and Dreaming" this video is SOOOO fitting! I can't remember, was Collector's backstory told before, or Author predicted it?
2:00 THIS PART! God i could go on about it forever. A literal God, being controlled and betrayed by everyone aand everything he has ever loved, because at the end of the day he is just a child. PERFECTION!
I literally was like "WOW THEY ANIMATED THIS SO FAST AFTER THE FINALE- ..... A month ago-? ..WHAT." I actually thought a month passed without me realizing and I was in a time skip 😭
I'm back after watching big finale and gotta say, this aged so well like a fine wine. You even portrayed Collector's past with older collectors and titans PERFECTLY. ❤
The lyrics!!! They match up so so well!! Some of my personal highlights are as follows: 0:05 “Fake faces hiding everywhere” The Collectors wearing expressionless grins, reminiscent of theater masks. 0:11 “To hide their stolen air.” The Collectors appear on the word “stolen”, implying they’re strangers in the Titans’ world. 0:14 “Don’t you dare.” A warning. If our Collector dares to be friendly with the young Titans, consequence will befall him. 0:48 This entire segment! 1:24 “If you care.” It matches up with the Collector’s joy at seeing another living being who just may care about them. 1:29 “Snake oil, traitors, no one shares.” “Snake oil” appearing at Phillip’s face, representing his slippery-ness and how he’s able to easily charm the Collector, the Boiling Isles, and others. “Traitors” is sung when our Collector asks if Phillip will free him, foreshadowing the latter’s betrayal. “No one shares” as they make the promise. 1:43 this segment, with Raine-Belos appearing at the echoed lines, emphasizing parallels with the Collector and Belos, and how Belos uses those parallels to manipulate them. 2:11 “I’ll never sing along! I’ll never sing along!” Showing King makes it seem like he’s speaking to the Collector, or rather, what the Collector imagines his friend would say. The laughter afterwards punctuates their feeling of betrayal.
ok I LITERALLY LOVE THIS TYSM FOR POINTING THESE OUT Though all of these were intentional I didn't even think deeply to how the snake oil traitors line is perfect for that part 😭 (I knew it resonated with it but didn't think too much of it, your take on it is perfect!)
Aw hell yeah, now this is a good comment! Loooove what you said about 1:29 and 1:43!! Seriously this animatic is so good, love to see it getting analyzed
AAAHHAGHAHUGHHH???? This is so good??? I love how you do colors and line art and your collector design is so NICE to look at!! The way you depict the Collector’s story is so beautiful and heartbreaking AAAUGHHH !!!!! The animated bit at 2:04 is so smooth and amazing oh my GODDDD. I just realized you put in the “Titans against Collector” banners 2:20 OW. I like how your put the actual GRRRLS meme part at 0:49 (noticed it immediately lol, animation meme phase stays with you forever). I love how at the King’s Tide part the colors get all desaturated and kinda resembles their original color palette. God I hope the Collectors story actually ends up like your ending. I could write so much more I will be thinking about this forever. You did such a great job!!
either I'm an idoit, or you predicted the collectors past. or you had an early preview i might be an idoit. anyway.amazing animatic. amazing work. could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
This is spectacular It must have taken ages!!!! It tells his entire backstory perfectly, im so impressed. Probably my favourite owl house animatic to be honest, it’s just so lovely and uugghhh I’m obsessed especially the bit at 2:00 where it just recaps everything so smoothly and oh my lord I love this so much
while I was watching the latest toh episode I had a deja vu to this because a couple of shots are almost identical to the show, that I actually thought the animators were sneaking them in!! then I remember this is only four weeks old and it couldn't have been possible JDJDJSJJ honestly it makes this even more impressive! the shots I'm talking about are the one at 0:14 where the little titans dance around the collector, and the shot at 2:02 where the three archivists are looking down at the collector. the scene in "watching and dreaming" is the one where the collector is hugging their knees after king, eda and luz beat all of his games, and they are recalling the story of how the archivists wiped out the titans and how he got imprisoned
I just cannot stop watch it is s cool and reflects exactly collector's trauma and mind, also is crazy how people put so much expectation and pressure in a little guy- just aaaaaa bring him a good family like mama Camila and Eda.
The animation is amazing and I just finished 'Watching and Dreaming' (SPOILERS), and I have one question. . . . . . . . . How did you know this would happen?? This animation predicted it so well!!
this is stunning!! i love titan and collector lore, and the way the colors are so eyecatching!! it's so ghasdhfashd!!!! the idea that the titan maybe trapped the collector so that when the titans and collectors went to war it wouldn't be hurt/also because the collector was a liability to its own people?? and how at 0:47 it has tears in its eyes???
Gshah thank you!! Boiling isles trapping the collector is canon pretty sure with "you look like that bully who put me in here, no way are you little Titan baby" line from collector, but I decided to go a lil farther with "what if collector and the titan had a father son dynamic" so he cried when trapping him :')
It's impressive on how accurate it was to the lore and to the finale, especially that it was made before WAD aired.
Yeah I was shocked this was four weeks old!
I was just thinking the same thing
RIGHT
SAME DUDE I WAS LIKE 😱 This is 4 weeks old??
I’m the most impressed with the fact they figured that there were only four “collectors” (who we now know are the Archivists) and didn’t assume they were in the hundreds like others had predicted!
I love how you portrayed the collector as they are simply forced the role of the "bad guy". Even if they're a child no one recognized them as such.

OMG THIS IS JUST AMAZING!!! I LOVED THE STYLE, THE COLORS, THE WAY YOU TELLED THIS LITTLE STORY... EVERYTHING'S PERFECT!!! IT MADE ME FEEL SO BAD FOR THE COLLECTOR. Like, he's just a kid! Just think about being a playful kid and being trapped for YEARS completely alone. I know some people want The Collector to be defeated, but I do hope my kid get a redemption arc. Good job!
Fr though, the fact that he actually tried to protect kings dad from being killed only to be trapped in the In-between realm in return.....😢😢😢😢
Actually just made an animatic of the last episode before the last episode came out. Awesome.
Looks like Apollo hit you with his red ball.
This is literally the real collector lore God Damnit.
How is this so close to the actual lore before the collectors backstory was even given and the last special was released??? :o
I love how now that the finale episode has aired, I see how accurate your animation was to the backstory!
The collector is so underrated.
Everyone blames him for everything and doesn't bother to get to know him.
It's that sort of stereotype that gets others everytime. 😞
😳 Thank you for the pin.. 😳
This is incredible. I LOVE the transition from normal collector to shadow collector at 1:08 - the whole thing is insanely well done!
I already loved The Collector, but I LOVE this way of viewing them. This animation is SO GOOD and coherent and it looks like there was a lot of effort put in. AND you got it out before the series ends! That’s impressive. Respect.
OH MY GOD!!!
After watching the finale "Watching and Dreaming" this video is SOOOO fitting!
I can't remember, was Collector's backstory told before, or Author predicted it?
Ig it all was on backgrounds in "For the future". But still, this is so accurate! Author understand it all VERY right!!
both actually, they predicted that he was thought of "the bad guy" when he was not
sheesh, after the final episode, bro predicted everything
I just watched "watching and dreaming" and it makes watching this even more fun
agreed
CAME BACK AFTER THE SPECIAL AND HOLY GEEZ THIS WAS SUPER ACCURATE
The way your predictions were 100% accurate lol
0:40 finally someone acknowledges Jean luke! I was starting to think Echoes of the past never existed!
Congratulations, this is cannon now
CW: WATCHING AND DREAMING SPOILERS
I love how you litterally predicted finale. Like every second of this animatic is canon
I love this so much! He’s not the villain, he’s just a misunderstood child!
OMG HOW DID YOU KNOW??? YOU GOT THE ORIGIN STORY PRETTY MUCH DOWN PAT! THE PROPHECY HAS BEEN FULFILLED LOL
It’s insane how much of this was correct
NO WAY YOU ACCTUALLY GOT THE ENDING RIGHT OMG
Bro predicted the future
Time traveler?-
he's just a little guy your honor
how is this so spot on
Yeah :0 He managed to interpret the photos on the wall so perfectly... Admirable
you literally predicted the backstory almost one to one
I didn't realize right away that this was made before the finale! Man you hit all of the beats practically perfectly. Bravo! 👏👏
This hits different after the finale
2:00 THIS PART! God i could go on about it forever. A literal God, being controlled and betrayed by everyone aand everything he has ever loved, because at the end of the day he is just a child. PERFECTION!
This aged BEAUTIFULLY after Watching and Waiting and I love that so so much❤️⭐️🌘
This hits so hard after the finale
I literally was like "WOW THEY ANIMATED THIS SO FAST AFTER THE FINALE- ..... A month ago-? ..WHAT." I actually thought a month passed without me realizing and I was in a time skip 😭
HOW IS THIS SO ACCURATE??
The fact this is really close to his actual backstory is crazy. Also ur animation and art is so cool and beautiful🤌🤌❤❤✨️✨️
this is shockly right, almost 90% of that animatic actually happend, and this was from 4 weeks ago, you are so GOOD
THIS IS INCREDIBLE OH MY GODDDD WTF every frame of this blew me away. AND THE SONG CHOICE OMFG!!!! everything about this is SO so good
AGJBCVV TY! 😭❤
I'm back after watching big finale and gotta say, this aged so well like a fine wine.
You even portrayed Collector's past with older collectors and titans PERFECTLY. ❤
YOU WERE RIGHT HOW
Bro really predicted the last episode
The lyrics!!! They match up so so well!! Some of my personal highlights are as follows:
0:05 “Fake faces hiding everywhere” The Collectors wearing expressionless grins, reminiscent of theater masks.
0:11 “To hide their stolen air.”
The Collectors appear on the word “stolen”, implying they’re strangers in the Titans’ world.
0:14 “Don’t you dare.”
A warning. If our Collector dares to be friendly with the young Titans, consequence will befall him.
0:48 This entire segment!
1:24 “If you care.”
It matches up with the Collector’s joy at seeing another living being who just may care about them.
1:29 “Snake oil, traitors, no one shares.”
“Snake oil” appearing at Phillip’s face, representing his slippery-ness and how he’s able to easily charm the Collector, the Boiling Isles, and others. “Traitors” is sung when our Collector asks if Phillip will free him, foreshadowing the latter’s betrayal. “No one shares” as they make the promise.
1:43 this segment, with Raine-Belos appearing at the echoed lines, emphasizing parallels with the Collector and Belos, and how Belos uses those parallels to manipulate them.
2:11 “I’ll never sing along! I’ll never sing along!”
Showing King makes it seem like he’s speaking to the Collector, or rather, what the Collector imagines his friend would say. The laughter afterwards punctuates their feeling of betrayal.
ok I LITERALLY LOVE THIS TYSM FOR POINTING THESE OUT
Though all of these were intentional I didn't even think deeply to how the snake oil traitors line is perfect for that part 😭 (I knew it resonated with it but didn't think too much of it, your take on it is perfect!)
Aw hell yeah, now this is a good comment! Loooove what you said about 1:29 and 1:43!! Seriously this animatic is so good, love to see it getting analyzed
Plus 0:22 "I'll shatter through their glare" being the Titan's magic working against the archivists
@@deltaomen1942 yes!!!
1:36 "faceless: nobody is your friend" being a mini foreshadowing to the 2:15 scene is just immaculate
After watching the new episode this is actually really accurate, and it's amazing
Sooo who's here after finale?
LOVE how well this holds up after the finale
It's crazy how acurate it is after watching the last episode
I really wish we got more of collectors back story. They seem to have a big back story, but never got recognized for it.
How tf did you predict Gus's new haircut omfg
Damn this actually fits the story of the collector in the last episode!
i had been watching this on repeat and then was shocked when i was watched the finale lol
AAAHHAGHAHUGHHH???? This is so good??? I love how you do colors and line art and your collector design is so NICE to look at!! The way you depict the Collector’s story is so beautiful and heartbreaking AAAUGHHH !!!!!
The animated bit at 2:04 is so smooth and amazing oh my GODDDD. I just realized you put in the “Titans against Collector” banners 2:20 OW. I like how your put the actual GRRRLS meme part at 0:49 (noticed it immediately lol, animation meme phase stays with you forever). I love how at the King’s Tide part the colors get all desaturated and kinda resembles their original color palette. God I hope the Collectors story actually ends up like your ending.
I could write so much more I will be thinking about this forever. You did such a great job!!
God seeing watching and dreaming you almost predicted the collectors fate
either I'm an idoit, or you predicted the collectors past.
or you had an early preview
i might be an idoit.
anyway.amazing animatic. amazing work. could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
This is spectacular
It must have taken ages!!!! It tells his entire backstory perfectly, im so impressed. Probably my favourite owl house animatic to be honest, it’s just so lovely and uugghhh I’m obsessed especially the bit at 2:00 where it just recaps everything so smoothly and oh my lord I love this so much
Bro discovered the plot before it happen
came back to remind you how accurately you interpreted and predicted this
this aged extremely well because the finalie dropped like 2 days ago and you got everything spot on, ya'll can see the future, im calling it!
The way this predicted the Collector's backstory
while I was watching the latest toh episode I had a deja vu to this because a couple of shots are almost identical to the show, that I actually thought the animators were sneaking them in!! then I remember this is only four weeks old and it couldn't have been possible JDJDJSJJ honestly it makes this even more impressive!
the shots I'm talking about are the one at 0:14 where the little titans dance around the collector, and the shot at 2:02 where the three archivists are looking down at the collector. the scene in "watching and dreaming" is the one where the collector is hugging their knees after king, eda and luz beat all of his games, and they are recalling the story of how the archivists wiped out the titans and how he got imprisoned
Actually, those were revealed in "for the future"
Those were revealed in some paintings in ftf! They sorta repeated them with a bit more explaination in wad
@@dlsintigrating7956 ohh ok, thank you both for reminding me, I have the memory of a pea y.y
how did you get their background so spot on?? i’m genuinely impressed by this, the art style and story telling is amazing.
I just watched watching and dreaming is amazing how accurate this is
spoilers for watching and dreaming below!
So, this masterpiece turned out to be semi-accurate, eh?
after watching the finale this just aged PERECTLY! Like fine wine! Keep up on the good work you are very talented!
I just cannot stop watch it
is s cool and reflects exactly collector's trauma and mind, also is crazy how people put so much expectation and pressure in a little guy- just aaaaaa bring him a good family like mama Camila and Eda.
The animation is amazing and I just finished 'Watching and Dreaming' (SPOILERS), and I have one question.

How did you know this would happen?? This animation predicted it so well!!
Words can’t describe how amazing this is, also I’m going to just now imagine the before but to be canon bc it’s actually so perfect
this is stunning!! i love titan and collector lore, and the way the colors are so eyecatching!! it's so ghasdhfashd!!!! the idea that the titan maybe trapped the collector so that when the titans and collectors went to war it wouldn't be hurt/also because the collector was a liability to its own people?? and how at 0:47 it has tears in its eyes???
ALSO i need to apprecaite how on beat all the animations are!! and how good the designs are in your artstyle!!
Gshah thank you!! Boiling isles trapping the collector is canon pretty sure with "you look like that bully who put me in here, no way are you little Titan baby" line from collector, but I decided to go a lil farther with "what if collector and the titan had a father son dynamic" so he cried when trapping him :')
It's weird how you got most of it correct
this aged so well with the finale lol
it's also absolutely incredible regardless.
