#stopmotion #animation #art my first stop-motion animation, wintersession 2024. i wish to spread awareness about this topic, and hopefully help those like me. i hope you enjoy it.
weird how a bathroom can bring so many bad/awful memories when is just a room of the house. trauma really changes the way you see the world around you.
Sexual assault is one of the worsts thing I believe a human can go through. The girl wishes she were stronger so she didn’t have the scars from the abuse, but sadly, she wasn’t. She attempts to cut the hurtful touch out of her skin, to cover the pain with a new. It works for only a moment, so she repeats, and continues, to keep that moment for longer. It captures the pain and energy that sa victims go through perfectly. The music, the tone, the animation. I also feel the duck in the beginning was a metaphor to the loss of innocence and childhood, being dropped and thrown on the floor. You see the relief on her face for a moment after she is done cutting too, but then she looks at the blade and immediately regrets it.
Seriously? This isn't the fucking time. I do agree but you see this and someone going threw horrible shit and the first thing that comes to mind is "yeah but it also happens to others so let's not care about the victim in THIS" this is fucked up.@@nekemli2622
@@nekemli2622 because the only reason you're bringing that up is to undermine this specific topic while we're talking about a girl. it's so fake of you
I love the way self-harm is shown here, you can see how the wounds heal and renew, like "it's getting better, everything will be fine" and then the character self-harms again and the cycle repeats itself only with time it gets worse and the wounds become deeper and more entrenched, which makes it more difficult to heal the scars. It scary that it so relate (srry for bad english)
You captured a realistic and nostalgic atmosphere of helplessness and loneliness. Many fail to bring a genuine feeling of those emotions when making art, yet you have done it beautifully. Well done!!!
1:00 The way it just gets more aggressive each time is unsettling, yet it perfectly depicts the frustration one gets when they go down a rabbit hole of hopelessness
As someone else who often can't sleep, I feel this deeply in my soul. I was also a survivor if SA but my choice of SH wasn't as simple as a blade... instead, I tried to help others at the expense of myself. I told myself that if I died helping another, then I would die being useful to someone... whether it was to spend beyond my means or fight a stacked battle for a total stranger, I had no fear of death. Sadly, my life also has progressed from one abuser to the next... many failed relationships where I have been lied to, cheated on, manipulated, and now even hated and lied about... it's been a tough life. But despite everything, I try to stay strong for everyone else. I told myself that if I won't live for myself, then I will live in the service of others. Lately though, I realized that's only making things worse for me and those who have to watch my self-destructive behavior. I might not use a blade, but my scars are just as deep... and maybe it's time I stop my own cycle of this twisted version of SH... Anyways, thank you for your video. It helped me see a visualization of what I am doing to myself internally. Instead of seeking others to help, I think it's time I help myself. Again, thank you for the art, you are wonderfully talented. Keep up the good work, and I promise to support you all the way ❤ good luck in your endeavors!
1:06 interesting fact but the track used in this scene is from yume nikki and its called FACE. The track plays in game when you encounter a so called face which many fans pointed out that it looks like tip of man's yk.. its really a great detail, love this video
This is what I mean by “I wanna be a good artist “. The capability to properly convey a story or concept with only noises and visuals is such a skill, not to mention the stop motion probably took ages. This is so pretty, I hope the creator is doing well tho :)
@@STOPSYPHERIf it wasn't for the warning, I'd be clueless; though that's just Because I don't really analyze my media. Anyways, there IS meaning, and it is hidden. L take.
People self harm for many different reasons but one major reason for so many people is abuse. It's crazy that how we cope with someone hurting us is hurting ourselves. I want to give my past self and others who experience this a big hug. None of us deserved any of this.
The title being literal cuts is so clever yet sad, no talking, no ominous music, no jumpscares, no words in the title, you’re suppose to figure out the story she’s in cause it’s all show & no tell. Wonderful work, to anyone going through rough times you are loved and cherished. ❤
CSA is real horror itself, no amount of effects or great production will capture the traumatic events, I feel so sorry for all the kids going through it, all the people, I wish they were protected, and believed I love the art, really well done
this has a very specific aura, like it should have been posted 16 years ago. i also think this was equal parts melancholic and beautiful, i just don’t know how to explain it :/ edit: ok so i edited my original comment bc some people think i’m romanticizing self harm, which is not at all what i was trying to do, so i’m sorry if it seemed like i was romanticizing self harm.
The sequence at 0:58 is honestly terrifying. She is cutting herself but the wounds just keep on healing & leaving scars, so she cuts herself right where she cut previously and eventually her healing and scarring process starts to fail and the wounds become larger
The little girl holding a blade really got me. It reminded me of myself. what child should have to feel those things. No one should have to feel that way.
I’ll make spaghetti, do you like spaghetti? He’s very far away from you now. You are strong and never let anyone treat you like him again. You deserve more than spaghetti but its all I can offer to comfort you right now 🍝 move on from the past and grow while he rots with his wrong doings.
You did such a good job on capturing the feelings of both sa and sh. I have been through both, still struggling with sh, and the cutting getting more intense through out each time is so true. This brought me to tears, you did a wonderful job!
@@Eeok I used to feel the need to have pain, like I was a horrible person and it was my fault that I was being hurt. It then turned into more then just that, it was no longer a 'i hate myself' thing it was a 'i NEED too' thing. I got addicted, fast. Its not a rude question at all! I totally understand, thanks for being kind
@@EeokDifferent people self harm for different reasons. It varies from person to person. For me it was all about having a sense of control, and mutilating my own body was the only thing I felt I had control over. Seeing myself be destroyed more and more each time became addicting. It still is. It became the only thing that gave me relief.
@@Eeok As another answered, it varies from person to person. From what I remember (because my memory's blurry about them times), I SHmed due to a need to feel in control, rage issues, and a belief that I deserved the pain. Even after having stopped SHming, I still have to fight off intrusive thoughts and urges to do so.
The way the wounds/scars get worse each time we see her in the bathroom is tragic. This video has an aura that I can’t really describe. You’ve captured these emotions beautifully, looking forward to watching more from you ♡
God the self harm bit made me feel sick almost, I have bpd and a manic depressive disorder so I frequently cut with a razor blade and at one point it wasn’t for coping it had become an addiction and I would just do it because it felt right. The repetitive cutting was so visceral to me and the reveal of the title’s meaning. This was wonderfully created and executed in an extremely emotional and macabre way. Thank you it’s somewhat relieving to realise how disgusted i felt at the cutting segment. Beautiful work
I do it to release the pressure. If I don't do it, I feel like a balloon filled to the brim with everything bad and panic inducing. A balloon that needs to be popped. Pain soothes me, helps me feel like myself, helps me sleep like a baby (I have severe insomnia, I can stay awake for a week or so).
Reading your comment has comforted me somewhat. I have BPD too, and the sudden urges to harm myself can be hard to ignore; especially when I haven’t in awhile. It’s like a fix, even when I’m doing good. It’s hard to explain but seeing comments like yours make me feel understoood
What ever happend to that little girl was horrible. The story on its own was very sad too, and the stopmotion animation was very well made and fits well
@Sacren7 pay attention next time op's original comment was "whatever happened to that little girl..." it's not "whatever happened" like it's some mystery or candy coating it. *we know what happened*
@721rena okay and stop acting like your the smarter one I don't go to high school and I don't know how to text or use words properly IM IN A FUCKING RETARDED SCHOOL IM NOT THAT FUCKING SMART
the feeling that something so essential was eaten away from your being, and that nothing on the outside has changed, but you don't belong there anymore. you just don't belong anywhere. belonging was stolen. it's not even a feeling. it's the feeling of a lacking feeling. this short movie is a gem!
Sadly not all. My uncle even sided the one who SAed me. Believing her part of her story rather than protecting me, her niece. He even blamed me most of it.
@@kris_cheynyou’re not alone, it’s so unbelievable that they won’t put an effort to understand how you would have hoped. instead, my mom defended them with justification for why they did it instead of what i needed to hear for my own sake and self-assurance
@@Jalenevillabeanus wow that's....that's so fucked up. I really hate victim blaming. Why do those people we expected that would protect us will be the one to betray us?
1:00 the cutting scene is very well conveyed here, each time you put more pressure on the knife, since you no longer feel the pain from ordinary cuts, each time deeper and deeper behind new sensations and covering up mental pain. good job, conveys these feelings perfectly.
The cells of your skin die every 7 years and new ones appear, when you're done those seven years I hope you will feel better in the skin he didn't touch and never will touch again (hopefully)
I really love this… it gives a nostalgic yet twisted feeling, you know what your going to do and what happend before. The bathroom contains memories edging you to go again.. the bathroom knows what happend to you. .. its sad yet so common in people who have trauma. I really love it keep up the work ^^
the scars part, the way they got opened and reopened and became deeper every single time, i'm so so sorry for anyone going through any form of trauma or abuse, please stay strong you'll heal slowly but surely, i'm so proud of you for being so strong
I have no words. Whoever can relate to this I pray wholeheartedly everything gets better. Your hear for a reason and even if it feels hopeless, I promise your loved. Please stay.
My partner is a survivor of young SA and SH. I’m so proud of him, but I often can’t help but feel like crying because I wasn’t there after he got traumatised. I wish I had known him earlier and I feel guilty for not being here.
As a survivor of SA myself, I only wish I had a partner who loved me as you love them. It's tough to be a survivor, especially a male survivor. Everyone expects you to be strong, to get over it, and many don't get the love and support they need. Take good care of him though, because those whose hearts have the deepest cuts also have the greatest capacity for love. I'm sure he appreciates all the support you give him 😊
@@Pyrithe I hope you’re doing well! Please take care of you. However he actually got SA before he transitioned as a man so he was AFAB with a feminine body and gender identity. Though, I can see how awful it is in today’s world to just… be a man and having to act like everything’s fine and that you’ll be tough. Men deserve the same treatment as how a human being should be given. Thank you for your kind words again, and I repeat myself but take care!
My understand of the video: As you can see the character is going to bath or use the bathroom normally and she remenbers the abuses when look in the mirror remenbering the trauma. Then in the 0:51 you see her, starts "bleeding" as a meaning that she still felling or that part got "corrupted" after the incident. 0:57 we see that she got beated and the "scars" start apearing. When 1:01 its a anlogy to the scars that start closing and then opening as and getting bigger all the time. Thats my understand of the video thx if you did read all. Sorry about my grammar I ain't european and don't have Wnglish as my first lenguage.
im sorry for the long comment. kind of lost myself here. not rlly necessary since its a comment under a triggering video, but tw: mentions of self harm, SA and self exit. i dont like being perceived so i never really leave comments much, but this video was very relatable and oddly even relaxing to me. i was SA'd as a kid twice and i never had the guts to tell my friends or friends since mainly i was too young to even understand what had happened to me, and also because i was scared that if i did speak about it, i would wake up to see my whole family dead, since one of the assaulters threatened to kill my whole family if i ever told anyone about it, which was enough of a reason for 6 year old me to stay quiet and forget about it. when i was 13 these locked up memories somehow resurfaced and i remembered it all and, though i dont remember much from those days, i do remember falling into depression for a year and having constant nightmares and even sleep paralysis of being SA'd again. i blamed myself for it all. i felt disgusted of myself, my impure body. i drank shampoo and ate soap in hopes of "cleansing myself", i hit myself a lot, starved myself multiple times, burned my skin, cut myself over a hundred times all because i didnt know any better. i then attempted self-exit. locked myself in the bathroom and drowned myself. woke back up a few minutes later, choking and vomiting up water, and then walked back out to greet my family like nothing ever happened. after that i never really tried attempting again, though the thought does cross my mind a lot. i had this near-death accident when i was a very very small. shattered skull and exposed brain. car seats and blankets were covered in blood on the way to the hospital. i sometimes wished i would've passed away that day since it was before any of the SAs happened. even now i never was able to find it in me to ever tell my family about it. "they wont care, its been years since the incidents. theres no point, nothing will change. they might never look at me the same way ever again and maybe even ever love me again". i even doubt myself sometimes if it ever really happened or if i was just making it all up. crazy how its been 10 years since and im still affected by it, though my sh is not as bad now as it used to be. when it comes to family, none of us ever felt comfortable to express our emotions much, so sure yeah from time to time theres a few hints here and there that im not doing well, but for the most part they are completely unaware of it all. i wrote a small poem about this not too long ago. its not good at all but i wanted to share it since internally i know that i wrote it down because i wanted it to be seen. i want my story to be heard. "oh, to be a pure white swan once more, gliding gracefully on the lake's gentle shore undressed the dirty skin off my fragile bones scoured and cleansed it seven years without their mold my bones began to morph a rabbit? a sheep? or maybe a horse not even a year had flown since another stain appeared on my skin oh, to be a pure white swan once more, grazing on grasses by the tranquil shore rubbed and scrubbed my hide eight years what creature will i become this time?"
My experience with. All these things is not nearly as deep as yours, but I'm still so sorry you went through that. I can't possibly imagine how scary it was, and I hope that you can at least find some sort of peace. It is not my place to decide your life for you, so I will only propose this idea - you have the autonomy to decide what you want and don't want to do. I think speaking to your family, or close friends about this might help. If only for yourself to be heard by more people, at least someone who can hold your hand, and remind you that it happened, it was real, but it doesn't make you bad. You, as a victim, were not made unloveable, ugly, or filthy by those actions, you were a scared and lonely child, who had no idea what to do. You probably realise that yourself, but it won't hurt to remind you. If possible, please get yourself a drink, wash your face, grab some sort of a snack, or do something calming, to take your mind off of things, if only for a little while. You deserve to feel comfortable and safe in your own beautiful body, and I hope your day, week, month, year gets at least a little better from here. Thank you for sharing your story, and writing your poem, I hope whoever also needs to see this, does. 🫂
@@imthecoolestguyalivethank you, you sure live up to your username. truly means a lot. i dont know about telling family yet, but ill try to open up about it to close trusted friends. i wish for you a good and happy life stranger. i will try my best to start taking better care of myself
im so sorry you went through that. It truly brings pain into my sould to think someone could do something so horrible to another human being. I really hope that someday you'll feel strong enough to speak up. Even if you feel like it doesn't matter, it does, it's really important that you tell someone about what happened even if it hurts, because it will help you heal in the long term. And I really hope that one day you can completely heal back and have joy and happiness on your life again. I would tell you to stop doing sh but I think you already try it enough, so I'll just wish you good luck with your life and healing. I also apologize for any spelling or grammatical errors since English is not my first language.
I don't really watch your videos, but I can tell you're going through some rough shit. I pray you aren't being hurt by others anymore and that you aren't cutting. I was a cutter for 3 years (month clean rn), I don't know what you are going through because everyone has their reasons why they struggle with it, and it is 3am so im slow, but I hope you find peace with yourself and don't let those things completely ruin you, ruin them instead.
I’ve never been through this. Never. Mental abuse, yea, I have childhood trauma, but never physical or SA. I do of course have thoughts to perhaps harm myself, in ways different than cutting, like uncontrollably hitting my thigh with my fist clenched, biting myself, etc. If anyone can relate to this, I am so so sorry. I am so proud of you for being strong, your recovery journey will end smoothly, I promise. You’re an inspiration to me and probably others too.
At first, from the thumbnail, I thought this was gonna be one of those obscurely titled vocaloid songs, it was, infact, not that. The way my jaw literally dropped when the red “lines” showed up at the end and I realized it was the title- I am unnerved by this masterpiece /pos
I translated the words at 0:34 i’m not sure if it’s wrong or right there are two words flashing and it’s “Morning Bruise” at least thats what google tells me. Ah it's actually "bruises" so "Morning Bruises." Thank you to sirsbasement8153!
This is kimda scary, but this is good art. I really really love the doll and everything! People who experience this, please tell someone who you trust. I hope you guys feel better for whoever goes thru this.
If you look at it with perspective, 1:00 - 1:11 are showing lines that look like wounds. And if you truly think about it, its like they can't heal because something or someone won't let them. Even if they manage to do so though, they leave you with scars, Scars you will live with for the rest of your life.
this was haunting. the cuts happening more intensely before it could even heal over was probably the rawest thing ive seen. great portrayal of impatient frustration and hopelessness. and the hole tearing through the dress... fuck.
It’s uncanny to me how the wound and heal scene, which I think represents self harm but can honestly speak for so much more as well, is able to feel hyper realistic to the point it’s hard to watch- like the entire length of that scene ends right before I probably would have stopped, paused, or skipped forward. Very intense and saddening and my heart goes out to anyone healing ❤ I believe in you, thank you for being so strong
@@Sacren7this is just my own thoughts, but I think that the little girl in the video was being abused both physically (shown by the bruises on her) and s*xually, both of which would have of course taken a toll on her mental health. It’s likely that being used only for her body, and for this constant abuse happening, she started to feel like she had no self, or no self-worth, expressing this feeling by SH
@EvieWivey this is what I think because of sexual abuse and child abuse she hated looking at herself and harmed herself because now that's just fucked up
hi. im so so sorry for what you went through. i have never been sa'd as far as i remember, but i do struggle with sh and sexual trauma and i related to this a lot. i hope youre doing well and thriving, youre beautiful and deserve the best, and remember that youre a whole new person, mentally and physically, as a body only takes 7 years to have its cells completely regenerated. thank you for putting your art out there, lots of love ❤
this is very well made, you can feel the emotions or rather sometimes lack of it (emptiness). the sound design also enhanced the piece well. The cutting part getting more aggressive after the scars close up had me pausing for a second. but thank you for making this
This really captures a girl going through a hard time and not knowing how to cope. This also brings me so much comfort you don't even know, as I struggle from past experiences too. I hope one day this character one day gets therapy and all the love in the world. Good work man.
From the music choice to the atmosphere created by the colors and lighting, every little detail about this short film tells a story of intense pain. But the way it is represented is beautiful and I can speak for others watching this how healing it is just knowing that others can relate and choose to express themselves about these experiences. I can’t thank you enough for this true work of art. There aren’t even many words to describe just how beautifully this was created.
I think this is a really expressive creation and I think it's a great job. If you or anyone you know have gone through something really difficul and painful just know that there are people who do care about you and you are loved. Things may be difficult and it takes a while to heal but as long as you make the effort to seek help and take your time with things you will eventually get better. There are so many things to do in this world and many places to go see and it would be a shame if you or anyone you know don't allow yourselves to experience that.
I love this. It’s strangely..comforting but also painful? Like footage of my daily life. I wish I could stop feeling this way. I’ve managed to be clean for 2 weeks. It’s been hard. And I’ll admit, I resorted to hitting myself or slamming my head against the wall-even scratching at myself And I can’t ever look at sharpeners the same But I hope that I’ll get better or I’ll get out of this house.
Here’s a poem I wrote; !!TW!! !GORE! Poetry Leaping through the sky, I fall into a music box. Its teeth catch me and dig into my skin. The music box’s trembling feels good. And I get minced and chopped up, my blood dripping like ketchup. My body becomes small, And I scatter into tiny pieces. My gooey and slippery brains mush into one big star. Mama always told me, that the sky up above, It’s the realm of stars. The music box never stops, It sings to the far far ends of the land. It’s okay, if everyone dies and melts into stars, Maybe we’ll finally get along. Shining like the ceiling lights I used to drown into, The final moment of my soul, Like gummy candy and pudding, melts into nothingness.
Heya! I’m a 14 year old girl who’s mother has some mental health issues,and she abuses me and my siblings,last time she has done so was four days ago to my sister. She says she’s got issues because of her parents,yet that isn’t a good reason to fucking abuse your kids,and we haven’t seen them in YEARS. My siblings now live in the UK and my elder brother is in the military. I am suicidal. I feel lost and i feel hate towards myself. I haven’t done SH but I relate to this in a way. Thank you for posting this,because the more that i read the comments,the more I realize that I AM NOT ALONE.❤
please dont take your own life. i may be a stranger to you but i promise you that you are loved, genuinely. live out your life first, youve been given life for a reason. i hope you recover from the trauma peacefully.
Hey, i don't want to see the numbers of suicide go up. It hurts my heart. You are important even if i don't know you, i'm sure you're a worth like a dimond. The right people deserve a dimond (be patient, the right time will come), not everyone can get a diamond (they don't deserve you) 💗 Please don't hate yourself
@@Lucky_l0v3heya,school just started and a friend of my classmate had died due to suicide and it hit me like a fucking truck. Thank you so much for the support and i hope the best for you.
this is beautiful. the music, the set design, the animation. you really put thought into everything. i liked the sequence at 1:00 where the cuts start off clean, but slowly get more fast and violent. it really portrays how the character uses sh as a coping mechanism. well done, this is so good ❤❤❤
The self harm also representing the wounds of abuse being constantly reopened with each encounter, never healing just getting deeper and malformed as time goes on. Im so glad no one can touch me now.
the idea for the title to be a mystery until the end is so genius, and the moment of realization was what made my first watch so unique. Nobody should ever have to go through this let alone a child. Your portrayal conveyed this idea very well. Amazing job on this.
I’ve watched this so many times, it’s always the sh scene that gets me, I don’t know if I should be “strong” because no matter how hard it got I never did it, or if I’m “weak” because I’m too scared to do it
this is beautiful though. its such an amazing capture of trauma and how it emotionally effects the victim. words aren't even used and enough is said. keep doing this bro
This is very beautifully done. I struggle with self-harm, and this represents exactly what it is. cutting and watching it scar. But it isn't good enough, so you do it more roughly each time, the scars getting bigger and bigger. The visuals of the girl at the sexual abuse part describe it so well, showing how much sexual abuse hurts and feels like you are getting ripped apart. The girl getting reminded of what happened when she looked at the bruise, making her harm herself to forget about it all, is very well done. I hope to see more art projects from you in the future. You have a wonderful talent showing how much this affects someone, the hurt, and the aftermath it brings. This work made me feel less alone, and I hope it will make others feel less alone too. Never stop making art. 💕
Uh... Eu sou Brasileiro, a nossa cultura como um todo, sempre negou esse tipo de assunto de certa forma, e provavelmente foi isso que fez com que as pessoas tivessem mais margem para fazer essas "desgraças silenciosas", de qualquer forma, obrigado por ter representado em poucos segundos, linhas que marcam as pessoas pra sempre.
Never been victim to it, still it portrays and represents these elements easily for someone to understand. The melancholic and malevolent feeling throughout this short video, as well as a sense of nostalgia.
This is so beautiful thank you, the way you depicted the cutting and healing of scars as they gradually got more intense and the skin became more warped from the trauma indicated on it was amazingly well done.
I have been through SA and the feeling that you get whenever you look at the mirror was portrayed very well. I'd often subconsciously avoid mirrors because I didn't know who I was looking at, and that scared me.
there is a sense of nostalgia in stark contrast with the harrowing scenario and dark message the video conveys which really adds to the atmosphere of it all and captivates the beholder, a true masterpiece
Beautifull art, I really felt her pain. What sucks about SA is that it leaves you thinking that you are the problem, and that you are disgusting. I hate that it leaves invisible scars...
you captured, very beautifully, a depressing piece of people's reality. i cannot say i fully relate. while i, a man, have also experienced being sexually harassed a couple times years ago, other problems in life (and mind) hit me much more painfully, leading to the same path of self-harm. i would never wish such things to happen to even my worst enemies.
I had a severe cutting problem and the way the cutting sequence started as light cuts, then progressed into aggressive gaping wounds tragically sat in my heart, it’s all so real. The haziness and disorder of the moment, the way they got messier and more dangerous, then the after thought and ambience when you realize what you’ve gotten yourself in again. Thank you, as a sexual assault victim this resonated in my heart. I’m an artist myself and this is the type of art I look up to, this is beautiful.
this brings me a strange feeling of nostalgia. The fuzzy music, the yellow lighting. The story itself is very meaningful and i love this style so much. never stop and youll get the fame u deserve
Even though this is a horrible topic that does need to be shown up in media more. I can't help but feel a somber nostalgia seeing another piece of media that shows others go through these things.
The way this video was randomly requested to me is kind of eerie in a way but I see what message this video puts out and it’s kind of comforting in a way
Really well done stop motion, I liked the use of clay around 1:00-1:10. Also, clever title choice. I hope you make more of these animations! They have a lot of passion in them. Good luck with all your endeavors!
When my sister was on .. (i don’t want to say bc some men/boys might not understand) they treated they right way parents should normally treat their children, but when I was forcefully not eating as much as I should, had slight eating problems, lost too much sleep, cried more than I should’ve, lots of online arguments with friends, lost one of my best friends of 4 years, felt the need to disappear off the face of this earth or to sh, got ignored by all my online friends even if I typed something, treated me like I should be perfect. I’ve bottled up my feelings for as long as I can remember and I don’t how much longer I can keep bottling them up before I burst
im really really sorry. I know no kind of pain I've ever felt feels remotely close to what you feel now, but I just want to say that I hope you can get through this. I don't really know you but I think that you can still be happy, I wish you good luck and I pray that one day you can find peace, like true actual peace. I really hope you get better
Anyone who’s struggling (both currently or recovered) please don’t hurt yourself, you’re beautiful just as you are. Of course I’m just a rando online but please don’t hurt yourself. If you think ‘I’m so unattractive to 99% of the world’ then around 750 grand+ find you attractive, so please don’t hurt yourself
Thank you :) I’ve been trying to see myself as more beautiful despite these scars and sometimes it just gets very hard! I’ve been recovered from sh for months now, and even though sometimes I get the urges to go back, I know it wouldn’t change anything in the end 😓
The cutting sequence gave me chills. Wish nobody needs to go through that type of shit ever, the feeling is so fucking devastating.
I wish Noone feels like me...
I wish I could stop..
Literally.
My right shoulder looks like It got mauled by an animal because of the excessive cutting.
@@WarthaLanghu-gn7ncim sorry,i hope u get better
bro this shit is actually so weird
@@vaccccc Not the best to call people who are suffering "weird" yk?
weird how a bathroom can bring so many bad/awful memories when is just a room of the house. trauma really changes the way you see the world around you.
Yeah..
It really depends from person to person though
Yea I used to have to sleep in there years ago because of some things and now I hate being in them
For me it was the opposite it was my safe space from everything going on
Your so right i think the same things !
The way that by the end you realize why the title is all off those lines is really haunting
If you understood, why the title is all off those lines, can you please explain to me?(
@@Doll.Raiden_Shogun I think it represents the cuts on the skin
@@sadinelivexo oh... That's so sad, but tysm!
I thought it was the constant reopening of wounds inflicted by whoever is doing that to her...
Or it may as well be the constant sexual abuse she experience that would eventually ruin "it" tbh I don't even know
Sexual assault is one of the worsts thing I believe a human can go through. The girl wishes she were stronger so she didn’t have the scars from the abuse, but sadly, she wasn’t. She attempts to cut the hurtful touch out of her skin, to cover the pain with a new. It works for only a moment, so she repeats, and continues, to keep that moment for longer. It captures the pain and energy that sa victims go through perfectly. The music, the tone, the animation. I also feel the duck in the beginning was a metaphor to the loss of innocence and childhood, being dropped and thrown on the floor. You see the relief on her face for a moment after she is done cutting too, but then she looks at the blade and immediately regrets it.
At least girls get recognized as victims. When the victim is a boy and the perpetrator a woman, no one even sees him as a victim.

@@nekemli2622 because the only reason you're bringing that up is to undermine this specific topic while we're talking about a girl. it's so fake of you
I love the way self-harm is shown here, you can see how the wounds heal and renew, like "it's getting better, everything will be fine" and then the character self-harms again and the cycle repeats itself only with time it gets worse and the wounds become deeper and more entrenched, which makes it more difficult to heal the scars. It scary that it so relate (srry for bad english)
what bad english???
You captured a realistic and nostalgic atmosphere of helplessness and loneliness. Many fail to bring a genuine feeling of those emotions when making art, yet you have done it beautifully. Well done!!!

1:00 The way it just gets more aggressive each time is unsettling, yet it perfectly depicts the frustration one gets when they go down a rabbit hole of hopelessness
So true
As someone else who often can't sleep, I feel this deeply in my soul. I was also a survivor if SA but my choice of SH wasn't as simple as a blade... instead, I tried to help others at the expense of myself. I told myself that if I died helping another, then I would die being useful to someone... whether it was to spend beyond my means or fight a stacked battle for a total stranger, I had no fear of death. Sadly, my life also has progressed from one abuser to the next... many failed relationships where I have been lied to, cheated on, manipulated, and now even hated and lied about... it's been a tough life.
But despite everything, I try to stay strong for everyone else. I told myself that if I won't live for myself, then I will live in the service of others. Lately though, I realized that's only making things worse for me and those who have to watch my self-destructive behavior. I might not use a blade, but my scars are just as deep... and maybe it's time I stop my own cycle of this twisted version of SH...
Anyways, thank you for your video. It helped me see a visualization of what I am doing to myself internally. Instead of seeking others to help, I think it's time I help myself. Again, thank you for the art, you are wonderfully talented. Keep up the good work, and I promise to support you all the way ❤ good luck in your endeavors!
1:06 interesting fact but the track used in this scene is from yume nikki and its called FACE. The track plays in game when you encounter a so called face which many fans pointed out that it looks like tip of man's yk.. its really a great detail, love this video
This is what I mean by “I wanna be a good artist “. The capability to properly convey a story or concept with only noises and visuals is such a skill, not to mention the stop motion probably took ages. This is so pretty, I hope the creator is doing well tho :)

People self harm for many different reasons but one major reason for so many people is abuse. It's crazy that how we cope with someone hurting us is hurting ourselves. I want to give my past self and others who experience this a big hug. None of us deserved any of this.

@@EeokIn an attempt to silence the emotional pain with physical
@@Eeok I used to feel the need to have pain, like I was a horrible person and it was my fault that I was being hurt. It then turned into more then just that, it was no longer a 'i hate myself' thing it was a 'i NEED too' thing. I got addicted, fast. Its not a rude question at all! I totally understand, thanks for being kind
@@EeokDifferent people self harm for different reasons. It varies from person to person. For me it was all about having a sense of control, and mutilating my own body was the only thing I felt I had control over. Seeing myself be destroyed more and more each time became addicting. It still is. It became the only thing that gave me relief.
@@Eeok
As another answered, it varies from person to person.
From what I remember (because my memory's blurry about them times), I SHmed due to a need to feel in control, rage issues, and a belief that I deserved the pain.
Even after having stopped SHming, I still have to fight off intrusive thoughts and urges to do so.
The way the wounds/scars get worse each time we see her in the bathroom is tragic. This video has an aura that I can’t really describe. You’ve captured these emotions beautifully, looking forward to watching more from you ♡
God the self harm bit made me feel sick almost, I have bpd and a manic depressive disorder so I frequently cut with a razor blade and at one point it wasn’t for coping it had become an addiction and I would just do it because it felt right. The repetitive cutting was so visceral to me and the reveal of the title’s meaning. This was wonderfully created and executed in an extremely emotional and macabre way. Thank you it’s somewhat relieving to realise how disgusted i felt at the cutting segment. Beautiful work
I do it to release the pressure. If I don't do it, I feel like a balloon filled to the brim with everything bad and panic inducing. A balloon that needs to be popped. Pain soothes me, helps me feel like myself, helps me sleep like a baby (I have severe insomnia, I can stay awake for a week or so).
Reading your comment has comforted me somewhat. I have BPD too, and the sudden urges to harm myself can be hard to ignore; especially when I haven’t in awhile. It’s like a fix, even when I’m doing good. It’s hard to explain but seeing comments like yours make me feel understoood

1:00 the cutting scene is very well conveyed here, each time you put more pressure on the knife, since you no longer feel the pain from ordinary cuts, each time deeper and deeper behind new sensations and covering up mental pain. good job, conveys these feelings perfectly.

I assume his abuser was a man. Because if it was a boy who was SA'd by a woman, no one would care
As a survivor of SA myself, I only wish I had a partner who loved me as you love them. It's tough to be a survivor, especially a male survivor. Everyone expects you to be strong, to get over it, and many don't get the love and support they need. Take good care of him though, because those whose hearts have the deepest cuts also have the greatest capacity for love. I'm sure he appreciates all the support you give him 😊
@@Pyrithe I hope you’re doing well! Please take care of you. However he actually got SA before he transitioned as a man so he was AFAB with a feminine body and gender identity.

Men deserve the same treatment as how a human being should be given. Thank you for your kind words again, and I repeat myself but take care!

My understand of the video:
As you can see the character is going to bath or use the bathroom normally and she remenbers the abuses when look in the mirror remenbering the trauma. Then in the 0:51 you see her, starts "bleeding" as a meaning that she still felling or that part got "corrupted" after the incident. 0:57 we see that she got beated and the "scars" start apearing. When 1:01 its a anlogy to the scars that start closing and then opening as and getting bigger all the time. Thats my understand of the video thx if you did read all. Sorry about my grammar I ain't european and don't have Wnglish as my first lenguage.
The cutting sequence getting quicker and more violent gave me chills.
im sorry for the long comment. kind of lost myself here. not rlly necessary since its a comment under a triggering video, but tw: mentions of self harm, SA and self exit.
i dont like being perceived so i never really leave comments much, but this video was very relatable and oddly even relaxing to me. i was SA'd as a kid twice and i never had the guts to tell my friends or friends since mainly i was too young to even understand what had happened to me, and also because i was scared that if i did speak about it, i would wake up to see my whole family dead, since one of the assaulters threatened to kill my whole family if i ever told anyone about it, which was enough of a reason for 6 year old me to stay quiet and forget about it.
when i was 13 these locked up memories somehow resurfaced and i remembered it all and, though i dont remember much from those days, i do remember falling into depression for a year and having constant nightmares and even sleep paralysis of being SA'd again.
i blamed myself for it all. i felt disgusted of myself, my impure body. i drank shampoo and ate soap in hopes of "cleansing myself", i hit myself a lot, starved myself multiple times, burned my skin, cut myself over a hundred times all because i didnt know any better.
i then attempted self-exit. locked myself in the bathroom and drowned myself. woke back up a few minutes later, choking and vomiting up water, and then walked back out to greet my family like nothing ever happened. after that i never really tried attempting again, though the thought does cross my mind a lot.
i had this near-death accident when i was a very very small. shattered skull and exposed brain. car seats and blankets were covered in blood on the way to the hospital. i sometimes wished i would've passed away that day since it was before any of the SAs happened.
even now i never was able to find it in me to ever tell my family about it. "they wont care, its been years since the incidents. theres no point, nothing will change. they might never look at me the same way ever again and maybe even ever love me again". i even doubt myself sometimes if it ever really happened or if i was just making it all up.
crazy how its been 10 years since and im still affected by it, though my sh is not as bad now as it used to be. when it comes to family, none of us ever felt comfortable to express our emotions much, so sure yeah from time to time theres a few hints here and there that im not doing well, but for the most part they are completely unaware of it all.
i wrote a small poem about this not too long ago. its not good at all but i wanted to share it since internally i know that i wrote it down because i wanted it to be seen. i want my story to be heard.
"oh, to be a pure white swan once more,
gliding gracefully on the lake's gentle shore
undressed the dirty skin off my fragile bones
scoured and cleansed it seven years
without their mold my bones began to morph
a rabbit? a sheep? or maybe a horse
not even a year had flown since
another stain appeared on my skin
oh, to be a pure white swan once more,
grazing on grasses by the tranquil shore
rubbed and scrubbed my hide eight years
what creature will i become this time?"
My experience with. All these things is not nearly as deep as yours, but I'm still so sorry you went through that. I can't possibly imagine how scary it was, and I hope that you can at least find some sort of peace. It is not my place to decide your life for you, so I will only propose this idea - you have the autonomy to decide what you want and don't want to do.
I think speaking to your family, or close friends about this might help. If only for yourself to be heard by more people, at least someone who can hold your hand, and remind you that it happened, it was real, but it doesn't make you bad. You, as a victim, were not made unloveable, ugly, or filthy by those actions, you were a scared and lonely child, who had no idea what to do. You probably realise that yourself, but it won't hurt to remind you.
If possible, please get yourself a drink, wash your face, grab some sort of a snack, or do something calming, to take your mind off of things, if only for a little while. You deserve to feel comfortable and safe in your own beautiful body, and I hope your day, week, month, year gets at least a little better from here.

I’ve never been through this. Never. Mental abuse, yea, I have childhood trauma, but never physical or SA. I do of course have thoughts to perhaps harm myself, in ways different than cutting, like uncontrollably hitting my thigh with my fist clenched, biting myself, etc.

Wow, truly did not to come across such a gem of a creator on my homepage randomly but you earned a subscriber
If you look at it with perspective, 1:00 - 1:11 are showing lines that look like wounds. And if you truly think about it, its like they can't heal because something or someone won't let them. Even if they manage to do so though, they leave you with scars, Scars you will live with for the rest of your life.
this was haunting.
the cuts happening more intensely before it could even heal over was probably the rawest thing ive seen. great portrayal of impatient frustration and hopelessness.
and the hole tearing through the dress...
fuck.
It’s uncanny to me how the wound and heal scene, which I think represents self harm but can honestly speak for so much more as well, is able to feel hyper realistic to the point it’s hard to watch- like the entire length of that scene ends right before I probably would have stopped, paused, or skipped forward. Very intense and saddening and my heart goes out to anyone healing ❤ I believe in you, thank you for being so strong
You don't find these videos, these videos find YOU.
this...has true meaning.
Wonder what it is. It must have a deeper story into it
@@Sacren7this is just my own thoughts, but I think that the little girl in the video was being abused both physically (shown by the bruises on her) and s*xually, both of which would have of course taken a toll on her mental health. It’s likely that being used only for her body, and for this constant abuse happening, she started to feel like she had no self, or no self-worth, expressing this feeling by SH
@EvieWivey this is what I think because of sexual abuse and child abuse she hated looking at herself and harmed herself because now that's just fucked up

@Calamity25 yeah ik that I just put in that comment to be satire, dude.
Bridged swamp islands....this soundtrack is mean too much for me. I feel your stopmotion art in very...special way because of It.
hi. im so so sorry for what you went through. i have never been sa'd as far as i remember, but i do struggle with sh and sexual trauma and i related to this a lot. i hope youre doing well and thriving, youre beautiful and deserve the best, and remember that youre a whole new person, mentally and physically, as a body only takes 7 years to have its cells completely regenerated. thank you for putting your art out there, lots of love ❤
this is very well made, you can feel the emotions or rather sometimes lack of it (emptiness). the sound design also enhanced the piece well. The cutting part getting more aggressive after the scars close up had me pausing for a second. but thank you for making this
This really captures a girl going through a hard time and not knowing how to cope. This also brings me so much comfort you don't even know, as I struggle from past experiences too. I hope one day this character one day gets therapy and all the love in the world. Good work man.
From the music choice to the atmosphere created by the colors and lighting, every little detail about this short film tells a story of intense pain. But the way it is represented is beautiful and I can speak for others watching this how healing it is just knowing that others can relate and choose to express themselves about these experiences. I can’t thank you enough for this true work of art. There aren’t even many words to describe just how beautifully this was created.
I think this is a really expressive creation and I think it's a great job. If you or anyone you know have gone through something really difficul and painful just know that there are people who do care about you and you are loved. Things may be difficult and it takes a while to heal but as long as you make the effort to seek help and take your time with things you will eventually get better. There are so many things to do in this world and many places to go see and it would be a shame if you or anyone you know don't allow yourselves to experience that.
damn right
I love this. It’s strangely..comforting but also painful? Like footage of my daily life.
I wish I could stop feeling this way. I’ve managed to be clean for 2 weeks.
It’s been hard.
And I’ll admit, I resorted to hitting myself or slamming my head against the wall-even scratching at myself
And I can’t ever look at sharpeners the same
But I hope that I’ll get better or I’ll get out of this house.
Here’s a poem I wrote;
!!TW!! !GORE!
Poetry
Leaping through the sky,
I fall into a music box.
Its teeth catch me and dig into my skin.
The music box’s trembling feels good.
And I get minced and chopped up, my blood dripping like ketchup.
My body becomes small,
And I scatter into tiny pieces.
My gooey and slippery brains mush into one big star.
Mama always told me, that the sky up above,
It’s the realm of stars.
The music box never stops,
It sings to the far far ends of the land.
It’s okay, if everyone dies and melts into stars,
Maybe we’ll finally get along.
Shining like the ceiling lights I used to drown into,
The final moment of my soul,
Like gummy candy and pudding, melts into nothingness.
Heya! I’m a 14 year old girl who’s mother has some mental health issues,and she abuses me and my siblings,last time she has done so was four days ago to my sister.

this is beautiful. the music, the set design, the animation. you really put thought into everything. i liked the sequence at 1:00 where the cuts start off clean, but slowly get more fast and violent. it really portrays how the character uses sh as a coping mechanism. well done, this is so good ❤❤❤
This is beautiful, besides from the fact of the serious topic, I’m obsessed with the backdrops and it’s little tiny details and items, soooo cute
as someone who has suffered from self harming weekly in the past, this gave me chills. this really hit close to home man. this animation is beautiful.
The self harm also representing the wounds of abuse being constantly reopened with each encounter, never healing just getting deeper and malformed as time goes on. Im so glad no one can touch me now.
the yume 2kki soundtrack is really well fitting
i hope anyone that has experienced something like this is doing better ❤️ great animation and even greater intentions
the idea for the title to be a mystery until the end is so genius, and the moment of realization was what made my first watch so unique. Nobody should ever have to go through this let alone a child. Your portrayal conveyed this idea very well. Amazing job on this.
I’ve watched this so many times, it’s always the sh scene that gets me, I don’t know if I should be “strong” because no matter how hard it got I never did it, or if I’m “weak” because I’m too scared to do it
this is beautiful though. its such an amazing capture of trauma and how it emotionally effects the victim. words aren't even used and enough is said. keep doing this bro
This is very beautifully done. I struggle with self-harm, and this represents exactly what it is. cutting and watching it scar. But it isn't good enough, so you do it more roughly each time, the scars getting bigger and bigger. The visuals of the girl at the sexual abuse part describe it so well, showing how much sexual abuse hurts and feels like you are getting ripped apart. The girl getting reminded of what happened when she looked at the bruise, making her harm herself to forget about it all, is very well done. I hope to see more art projects from you in the future. You have a wonderful talent showing how much this affects someone, the hurt, and the aftermath it brings. This work made me feel less alone, and I hope it will make others feel less alone too. Never stop making art. 💕
Uh... Eu sou Brasileiro, a nossa cultura como um todo, sempre negou esse tipo de assunto de certa forma, e provavelmente foi isso que fez com que as pessoas tivessem mais margem para fazer essas "desgraças silenciosas", de qualquer forma, obrigado por ter representado em poucos segundos, linhas que marcam as pessoas pra sempre.
oof that is crazy. it's heartwrenching but so sincere and well made. true art!
The reality of this shown in such a childlike manner brings home an important message. Well done.
Beautifully haunting with a powerful message. Thank you!
Never been victim to it, still it portrays and represents these elements easily for someone to understand. The melancholic and malevolent feeling throughout this short video, as well as a sense of nostalgia.
This is so beautiful thank you, the way you depicted the cutting and healing of scars as they gradually got more intense and the skin became more warped from the trauma indicated on it was amazingly well done.
I really look foward to seeing what you make in the future, you have a real talent for symbolising traumatic feelings through art
I have been through SA and the feeling that you get whenever you look at the mirror was portrayed very well. I'd often subconsciously avoid mirrors because I didn't know who I was looking at, and that scared me.
there is a sense of nostalgia in stark contrast with the harrowing scenario and dark message the video conveys which really adds to the atmosphere of it all and captivates the beholder, a true masterpiece
beautiful animation, its terrible how many people experience this, and i know people who experience this in my personal life, its terrible
This video feels so comfortable and anxious at the same time. Author, you did an incredible job, well done
Beautifull art, I really felt her pain. What sucks about SA is that it leaves you thinking that you are the problem, and that you are disgusting. I hate that it leaves invisible scars...
you captured, very beautifully, a depressing piece of people's reality. i cannot say i fully relate. while i, a man, have also experienced being sexually harassed a couple times years ago, other problems in life (and mind) hit me much more painfully, leading to the same path of self-harm. i would never wish such things to happen to even my worst enemies.
I lived through very similar experiences. This is such a beautiful and unique piece of art. I hope you are healing ❤
I had a severe cutting problem and the way the cutting sequence started as light cuts, then progressed into aggressive gaping wounds tragically sat in my heart, it’s all so real. The haziness and disorder of the moment, the way they got messier and more dangerous, then the after thought and ambience when you realize what you’ve gotten yourself in again. Thank you, as a sexual assault victim this resonated in my heart. I’m an artist myself and this is the type of art I look up to, this is beautiful.
how harsh and cruel things get, how pitiful and sad. The day still passes, the world still moves on. I am sorry for the hurtful things.
this brings me a strange feeling of nostalgia. The fuzzy music, the yellow lighting. The story itself is very meaningful and i love this style so much. never stop and youll get the fame u deserve
Even though this is a horrible topic that does need to be shown up in media more. I can't help but feel a somber nostalgia seeing another piece of media that shows others go through these things.
The way this video was randomly requested to me is kind of eerie in a way but I see what message this video puts out and it’s kind of comforting in a way
In like 16 years someone is gonna get recommended this.
nice lighting in the bathroom, looks really eery and cozy at the same time
Really well done stop motion, I liked the use of clay around 1:00-1:10. Also, clever title choice. I hope you make more of these animations! They have a lot of passion in them. Good luck with all your endeavors!
When my sister was on .. (i don’t want to say bc some men/boys might not understand) they treated they right way parents should normally treat their children, but when I was forcefully not eating as much as I should, had slight eating problems, lost too much sleep, cried more than I should’ve, lots of online arguments with friends, lost one of my best friends of 4 years, felt the need to disappear off the face of this earth or to sh, got ignored by all my online friends even if I typed something, treated me like I should be perfect. I’ve bottled up my feelings for as long as I can remember and I don’t how much longer I can keep bottling them up before I burst
im really really sorry. I know no kind of pain I've ever felt feels remotely close to what you feel now, but I just want to say that I hope you can get through this. I don't really know you but I think that you can still be happy, I wish you good luck and I pray that one day you can find peace, like true actual peace. I really hope you get better
For the people who go through this. I love you. Keep fighting that feeling. I believe in you. Don’t go so soon
Anyone who’s struggling (both currently or recovered) please don’t hurt yourself, you’re beautiful just as you are. Of course I’m just a rando online but please don’t hurt yourself. If you think ‘I’m so unattractive to 99% of the world’ then around 750 grand+ find you attractive, so please don’t hurt yourself
Thank you :) I’ve been trying to see myself as more beautiful despite these scars and sometimes it just gets very hard! I’ve been recovered from sh for months now, and even though sometimes I get the urges to go back, I know it wouldn’t change anything in the end 😓
