I think I finally understand the meaning behind this animation. Upon rewatching it and falling more in love with it, I also found a missing puzzle piece to Scotch's past animation Happy Rave, and I wonder if it was intentional. I am in no way claiming the following to be absolute fact, this is merely what I took from the animation. In the beginning, we see the goat character, who is Scotch's fursona, is in Meme Hell, in reference to all the times his fursona was used in animation memes and depicted as sexually provocative (Burnt Rice and Gucci Goat). Upon returning to "heaven", he is confronted by a giant banana, which is a reference to the Banana Goat meme, which was the animator's response to negative feedback to Gucci Goat, which then turned into a meme in itself. The goat blocks the banana's attacks, resisting the memes, and reaches "heaven". Immediately he is confronted by a character called Creator's Rage (who's eyes reflect a depiction of the creator in Happy Rave, which I'll get into later), who is prepared for a throw down. The goat character reaches out and, instead of fighting, hugs the Creator's Rage. The massive golden being, essentially "the creator", weeps at the calming of his rage, given by the generosity of the goat character who had broken his heart in the past. To put this all simply, the creator has a complicated relationship with his own fursona for all the times he was used to be sexually provocative and felt as though he couldn't use him for anything else without being reminded of what he has been used for, in spite of his fursona still being part of his identity. Deep down, the creator knows in his heart that the memes do not define who the fursona trully is, for he is him. As for the eyes of the Creator's Rage, it came to me as a missing puzzle piece to the many masks shown in Happy Rave. In that animation, upon removing the mask of a drug-induced happiness or high, we see the face of the creator's fursona, the silly sexy banana goat. Removing this mask reveals a mask beneath with a star on it, which I now see represents rage, aka the creator's rage towards his own creation. Removing this mask reveals a mask covered in bandages, and appears to also be sobbing, representing the fragile soul beneath the rage and the memes. The final mask is a nuclear sign wielding a machine gun who shoots down the bandage covered mask, essentially being the creator's self loathing, the one who shoots himself down before anyone else can. All of these masks belong to the one creator, there are many layers that make him up as a complex individual. We see this still being reflected here in White Flag, a creator's struggle with not only his own creation, but with himself.
This is actually really heartwarming. What I got from this is that basically, Yagi, the goat, helped him in some way. Like most artists, and animators, we find ourselves identifying with the character and sometimes, it feels as if they're alive. Like for me, most of my characters have helped me through tough times and maybe that's what he's saying here. but I dunno, it's just a guess. It still is fucking amazing, this animation and channel. And, especially Scotch. Keep it up, my dude : o )
I adore everything about this, scotch you deserve the best you are so talented and the emotion you put into things pulls my feelings in a good way, it attaches me to your work even more and I feel sympathy, joy and sorrow I LOVE IT. Bless you so much
The vibe behind this is basically acknowledging your past and growing with the fact that you did something you didn’t like but understanding that you cAnt change it now?
This is a beautiful animation scotch. Its faithful to the mv yet still comes through as your own work, cause you made it your own. Wonderful work scotch, great job indeed !!!
this animation really shaped me into the person i am today, it honestly helped me heal. hope you're doing great, scotch. your work will always be inspiring and stunning.
I love how it looks like he is rearing for a punch, and then it's revealed that it was a loving hug. Also, I have you to thank for introducing me to the song and original music video, both of which I just can't get out of my head now...
The fact that it took me this long to understand and literally fully relate using the past 5 years as evidence. Glad you could get past that feeling ♥️
Omg it's Delta Heavy's White Flag I love this music, the MV is wonderful and there is it! Unhapply I felt that nobody knew it and then not having the credit it deserves but now I woke up with this amazing animation, it tells all what it is and I know that it says something about you too, and it's amazing. It's a pleasure to know that you like it Thanks Scotch
Can I be real for a second? Scotch your visual expression is seriously some of the best on this entire website and I mean that. You are seriously such an inspiration to me and I'm proud of you for doing more than just animation memes. I really hope that one day I can make art on this scale, hope that's not too cheesy to say. Please keep being yourself because holy dang it's amazing
this is a really wonderful video, lots of introspection of the self and our relationships with our own creations. also the waterfall animation with the tears is really well done and satifying to watch.
This has now put me on the verge of tears twice. Your art seems to show me areas of my heart I haven't touched for years and I thank you for that. Keep making amazing work!
it’s literally been more than 5 months and I’m still watching this on repeat, dude you are amazing. I just can’t express one how much I love this all I can say is that you’ve done great ❤️😂😂❤️
This is how I feel about a lot of my characters. Maybe they come from somewhere a little less than pure, but they can turn into things you love or people that help you through some really hard times. Just because other people might see your character as a lifeless thing on a screen doesn't mean they aren't the world to you behind it.
This was so cool to watch and I loved the animation of the “creators rage” with the whole hugs and love and GOD this was beautiful 😤👌 Also I loved the song
BROO I love this song and when I saw the title I hoped it would be about this song. MM, BOY I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED. The animation is so beautiful too, I literally got chills down my arms. Good job
That was beautiful, I got really sad when I didn't see any posts from you and when you posted this I got really excited... please don't stop posting videos you make people's lives happier with your art and well yagi haha ~much love from a family friendly otter
WHY THE HELL DOES THIS ALWAYS GIVE ME GOOSEBUMPS !?. I've seen this at least 20 times and I get goosebumps and slightly cry every time I see this. I love it ❤
Holy heaven I felt this video in my soul I no joke woke up and watched this because the animation was stuck in my head for like YEARS Omg thanks for existing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Im in love with this. Your amazing man. Keep doing what your doing. I admire not only your work but you . This mv should be the official one. Words cant describe how amazing this is.right now i cant think of anything else to say but Wow.
Man I wish I had the level of skill that Scotch has but I guess I will just be Happy sitting here infront of my screen trying not to cry because animations keep bapping me in the feels
That. was. great. *claps*

XDDDD

Add on: Emoji man crys because He didn’t get a hug
dont think it's a guy
@@zylgriffin8444 who?
Goat escapes meme hell to forgive creator who moved on to other things. Their heartwarming reunion left even the gods crying. More tonight at 7.
Jaedon Braun Who is the creator of animation memes anyways?
If you mean in general, I have no idea. I just figured the angelic guy in this video was Scotch.
Jaedon Braun oh I see. I wonder who did create the first meme now, though
I interpreted it as the goat seeking the creator's forgiveness.
*is that a homestuck reference I see sitting at the gates of meme hell*
Amazing like always!
This is actually really heartwarming.
What I got from this is that basically, Yagi, the goat, helped him in some way.
Like most artists, and animators, we find ourselves identifying with the character and sometimes, it feels as if they're alive.
Like for me, most of my characters have helped me through tough times and maybe that's what he's saying here.
but I dunno, it's just a guess.
It still is fucking amazing, this animation and channel. And, especially Scotch.
Keep it up, my dude
: o )
Your comment made me cry. In a good way! ♥♥♥
Midnight Cheshire I hope in a good way I wouldn't want someone crying over something I said :o)
Had a similar thought while watching, and i was hoping to find a comment like this
*cry me a river*
*cry me a ocean man*
*cry me the H2O*
Literally XD
Cry me a waterfall

Another great animation by the Great Tape Dispenser! Really liked the deep reflective message of this one, and the visuals were great as usually.
Can I be real for a second? Scotch your visual expression is seriously some of the best on this entire website and I mean that. You are seriously such an inspiration to me and I'm proud of you for doing more than just animation memes. I really hope that one day I can make art on this scale, hope that's not too cheesy to say. Please keep being yourself because holy dang it's amazing

Gods cry tears of joy when creators can accept the memes that follow their creations
i love delta heavy and ur art, this is perfect, thanks you
That scene where the Stature begins to "cry" was BEAUTIFULLY done. LOVE the flow of the water and the transition down to the hands.
Is the sin goat forgiven?
Seven deadly sins Ban!!!
Yea
I honestly love this so much. I keep coming back to watch it and, your animation is so entrancing ???
This is so good i am obsessed with that sketch tho
I'm so glad youre doing original projects instead of memes
finally...an animation acually made me cry...
absolutley incredible ! The animarion for the tears was so soothing and flowed very well
This is really fucking good wtf
this is a really wonderful video, lots of introspection of the self and our relationships with our own creations. also the waterfall animation with the tears is really well done and satifying to watch.
Beauty at its finest form
the crying part where it was just pooling out and then looking like a waterfall got me weak it was so beautiful and the highlights its just GHHHHHHHHH
This is so good...
I can't stop rewatching it!
Music is great, but the visuals are even better if you ask me.
The end part is also a plus 😂
You're so talented! I LOVED the tears and how they pooled and dripped from the hands.
Absolutely precious it´s just amazing and it has his own style and charm i appreciate that!
UR ART IS BEAUTIFUL I MISS THIS 😭😭😭
Damn I can just feel the emotions in this- ;-;
the eyes turning to hearts is so subtle but so powerful
God i really missed your animations...
The tear waterfall was absolutely gorgeous
*Yooo.. Delta heavy's original video is the best tbh*
decembrr yesss
This has now put me on the verge of tears twice. Your art seems to show me areas of my heart I haven't touched for years and I thank you for that. Keep making amazing work!
Ah, I'm so glad that this song is getting more attention! This is amazing!

Oooo this is so cool!
Holy goat that was beautiful!!
Edit: for every time I see this I fall more in love with it. The colors, the music, just.. damn!
B A N A N A
This is beautiful though
This is how I feel about a lot of my characters. Maybe they come from somewhere a little less than pure, but they can turn into things you love or people that help you through some really hard times. Just because other people might see your character as a lifeless thing on a screen doesn't mean they aren't the world to you behind it.
Aww those tears were beautiful 😭😭❤️
dear god, this is beautiful
the tears animation just fricking blew me away!
*LONG LIVE THE BANNANA*
