Didn’t know this was a thing but considering the nature of Calorum as a world and how ACOC and Ravening War been, yeah them being lovers torn by politics and ending in tragedy fits right in. As for visually, a beautiful descent into the subtle madness that Belizabeth felt. No matter how hard she tried, could never forget or perhaps even truly forgive herself. Wonderfully done.
I love me some gay angst for iconic shows. Tfw you choose power over the church over the woman you could’ve loved, only to realize on your death bed that the potential for your love was a beauty that you rejected to be consumed. I love the lore implications of their relationship because, like, Belizabeth is a preacher of the Ramsian doctrine. Maybe she was a devout believer in it, and Citrina was the one thing that made her doubt, so she killed her to strengthen her resolve and cut out what she saw as temptation. Or maybe she didn’t believe, but in sacrificing Citrina in a bid for power in the church, the guilt began to consume her, so she took up the doctrine to justify it to herself. Either way making Citrina a Saint of the church, as if it were atonement. Perhaps even becoming disillusioned with the Bulb afterwards, but continuing to pursue power through the Church because learning the true nature of the Bulb only came from losing the only out that would’ve meant something to her. But legit, this animatic was so good. I especially like how after Belizabeth dies we see the potential future where she *had* accepted Citrina’s love as it burns up.
I haven't watched the bonus content (which is just the bts) but it does raise questions like, how'd they get their hands on Satrina's book in the first place, was it just, given to the church there when she was a priestess of Candia before the food pyramid and concord was made? Why specifically did broccoli lady request to assassinate her? Man, is this how the ship was made? That's amazing
i first found this animatic while adventuring randomly on tumblr 2 years ago, and it made me fall in love with the song itself. i just really enjoy it as a whole. thanks op. :)
This still makes me absolutely feral. The colours, the art style, the composition, the scenes, the song choice. All perfect. I could watch this every day and never get tired of it.
Canon Pontifex: Had Saint Citrina murdered to steal a book from her, also had her brother’s advisor killed decades later. Fanon Pontifex: Has a crush on Citrina.
mY god this incredible, ive watched this at least a dozen times so far. just immediately starting with a scene similar to adam and eve I knew this was gonna go hard. your style is good. you matched the scenes so perfectly to the song I cant believe it wasn't written for this. this is so so good. the scene of citrina turning the light off to show the dragon i really gasped out loud. this whole thing so masterfully done. i keep watching it and i keep finding new things to marvel at. beautiful
THE HUNGRY ONE/DRAGON OHHH MY GOD!!! Amazing, truly awesome art. your style is so mesmerizing. Its really beautiful while staying raw. Thank you so much for all your hard work!!
*Spoilers for ACOC And although I don't know if this was intentional but the added symbolism potentially with cinnamon and the hearts of the bulbian church! It good It real good
You did so well with the illustrative aspects of this, and this was a great song for the characters! I also like that the bulb is a literal lightbulb 💡
I swear I've watched this video a thousand times, each time I rewatch it I find something new to love about it. Your use of rhythm is stunning, your repetition of images with subtle changes, your COLORS...the red. man. This is indescribably good. I print it out, I eat it.
holy shit HOLY SHIT I!!!! remember comign across this like two years ago and neing frustrated i didnt know where it was from or the context because it looked so pretty... two years later and i just watched aCoC this is pure art!!!! i mean the composition, the limited color palette, the symbolism the way you interpreted the designs..!!!!!!!!! its so much!! also the STELLAR choice in music this is going directly into my spotify. The whole animatic is just so magical and heart-achy, it leaves u feeling empty at the awe and emotion, and the ending!!!! my god!! really, congrats on this amazing video, tysm for making it....
I love this animatic so so much. I constantly come back and watch it. So chilling. Great visuals and just a fucking inspirational story you're telling here. Really hits hard. Cool shit, can't stress that enough.
I am gasping for air because of this AMAZING piece! The way you work with color and composition is so impressive, and those transitions! Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show-stopping!
Hi I came back to say i was OBSESSED with this song for a good while because of this video and then gay angst irl and was recently wondering "Where tf was that one song i kept replaying last time with the confusing music video" And then I remembered I originally found it from here, so here i am!! Awesome animatic againn
I keep on rewatching this and noticing new things and my mind keeps on expanding... truly this is amazing and you have permanently ruined me with this ship
this fandom really said, "I will ship this person with the person who killed/tried to kill them" and tbh I respect it
It's the gay angst
acoc be like: you ordered tragic lesbians??? some tragic lesbians for table 4??
THE WAY CITRINA TURNED OFF THE BULB IS SENDING ME

That sequence of Citrina turning out the bulb into the hungry one… absolutely devastating….

had to come back to this after the ravening war announcement this animatic SHAPED my spring 2022
i first found this animatic while adventuring randomly on tumblr 2 years ago, and it made me fall in love with the song itself. i just really enjoy it as a whole. thanks op. :)
This is some of the best composition and artistry I've ever seen out of an animatic
it's been going on three years, and i still can't understate the hold this has on me
This still makes me absolutely feral. The colours, the art style, the composition, the scenes, the song choice. All perfect. I could watch this every day and never get tired of it.
Canon Pontifex: Had Saint Citrina murdered to steal a book from her, also had her brother’s advisor killed decades later.

I've watched this probably a hundred times and only now do i realize this could be all one big pun... "in the limelight"
I have no idea who these characters are and I apparently don't need to for this to steal away my breath and still my heart with its beauty.
Your artstyle, the colour usage and the outfits are great and really lends itself to the efficiency of story telling here.
mY god this incredible, ive watched this at least a dozen times so far. just immediately starting with a scene similar to adam and eve I knew this was gonna go hard. your style is good. you matched the scenes so perfectly to the song I cant believe it wasn't written for this. this is so so good. the scene of citrina turning the light off to show the dragon i really gasped out loud. this whole thing so masterfully done. i keep watching it and i keep finding new things to marvel at. beautiful
this is incredible... the framing and the shapes are divine. i think about this so much i watch it like once a week
Your style is so good!!!! The composition!! The color palette!!!! Tbh I don’t know anything about acoc, but like, MAN your art gets me evrey time
THE HUNGRY ONE/DRAGON OHHH MY GOD!!! Amazing, truly awesome art. your style is so mesmerizing. Its really beautiful while staying raw. Thank you so much for all your hard work!!

You did so well with the illustrative aspects of this, and this was a great song for the characters! I also like that the bulb is a literal lightbulb 💡
Back 2 years later to say I still think about this video, it's that amazing!
I swear I've watched this video a thousand times, each time I rewatch it I find something new to love about it. Your use of rhythm is stunning, your repetition of images with subtle changes, your COLORS...the red. man. This is indescribably good. I print it out, I eat it.
