#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.
the way the whole cutting sequence is animated... the cuts getting more and more aggressive, the blackout after this rage, the derealisation, the regret, the empty feeling of it. it hits so hard. this is so beautifully portrayed, im amazed. edit: checked out the channel and realising this doll is specifically portraying you. i am so sorry. you are so strong ❤
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.
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
I really wish I can be free from this pain again, for some reason I just can’t let it go. I hope I’m not annoying anyone by replying after 3 weeks, I’m sorry if this seems corny
the way sh is depicted here is so comforting. the way it's done to let emotions you don't know how to process out. you can't cry, so you bleed, and it feels so good so you keep going and going but it's so shameful and disgusting to look at how you hurt yourself. all bc others hurt you. very well done.
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!!!
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
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!
@@lollip0pseal Thank you. I started putting myself first more and began a Discord community around gaming for adults and I have met many wonderful people through it, including a new girlfriend who has been so amazing, loving and kind. It's been such a ride in how much positivity has flooded my life, it's been overwhelming. I did get better, I hope others can share in my fate.
This comment is making me tear up. I'm so sorry you had to go through that, you deserve better. I hope you will be able to recover from all the trauma you encountered. ❤
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.
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.
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
@@CouldKnowMe in the warning intro, there's also mention of sexual abuse, it's shown throughout video too, I just thought it was a nice detail since yume nikki covers some serious topics like that too
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).
I am so so glad that you are still here. I wish you lots of Love and nice people that will come your way. I hope you are recovering and are doing well. I am so proud of you for still being here. You survived it. It was tough. Life can be beautiful but also cruel. Don't forget that there are people who care about you and would be sad if you were gone. I wish I could embrace all those poor inner children and heal them. You did a great job.❤ May you heal from the pain and get stronger. You have so much more to explore in life. Keep going. Your doing well.💗
@@arima_song Please don't do it. I hope you will find a way of stopping it. Please keep going. It does not help you. It will keep you in the past and you will be stuck in the same time. You have to move on. Fck those scars and the past. It's time to move on. But it's tough. Please start to love yourself. You have so much value just like everyone else. But they don't realize it yet and are lost. They need help. I wish I could tell everyone that they should keep going. It tears me every time I see someone in pain. I wish I can Hug and embrace them and tell them it's okay. Please think positively and love yourself. Life is cruel and unfair sometimes. But sometimes you can be grateful with what you have got. You may not have got anything yet but you will very soon.💗❤ May God heal you. I recommend you listening to music. Music also helped me alot. Recommendation list of artists(please take a listen of each artist.❤): Shiloh Dystany, Remy Bond, Lana Del Ray, Mitski, MacDemarco, Clairo, Grimes, AURORA, Yumi Arai + more!! I recommend you to also watch movies from ghibli studios. They somehow give you comfort and heal your inner child.
@@shayla_art💗💗 I hope you are Doing well. Life is tough but at the end we have to keep moving. But what for? In my religion(Christianity) it is said that we are put through pain, to learn and get stronger. But sometimes the pain is worse. I don't know why.. the world hated Jesus first because he didn't belong here. But why does the world hates us too? We meet people who wronged us and those who influence us with negative shit, yet sometimes we are the problem themselves, the world is full of negative, selfish and greedy people. But at the end there are still good people out there. It means they are strong.. to be clearer, we just don't simply belong here. Jesus got hate for existing, so did we. I know you all are probably not interested. But I want to spread a spark of hope. Kind of sounds weird. But I am glad you guys are still standing. You are strong. Keep going and don't stop. I'm praying for you guys to meet the right people. The ones who wronged you should be punished. Love is on the way❤💗 You will find out very soon what Love is, so keep going.💗 (: be patient and the right time will come.💗✝️
@@CouldKnowMe you're a very sweet person, in a best way possible :) I haven't done it in a long time. My medications help me a little bit, I'm managing to... I don't know, hold myself together well enough not to do it, I guess. Though, they don't really help me make any progress, it just doesn't get worse. But hey, that's good enough for the time being, I think. Thank you for your recommendations, I'll make sure to give them a listen :)
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.
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
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.
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
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)
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!
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.
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?
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.
As someone who recovered and also had to deal at a really young age with other people harming themselves, this reall gives me the shivers. Imagining just the suffering my friends had to take things do this measure, the guilt, the disgust you feel and the diziness that makes you wonder if all of this is even real, then after the paranoia you get because maybe there will be a chance someone sees the mess you had made on yourself.
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 ♡
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
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.
Lots of love to you. I would brag every single soul in pain about how beautiful life can be and motivate them to keep going. Life is tough but you have to keep moving.❤✝️
This is actually powerful, didn't expected much clicking on this. But dammnn, it actually makes you think and really does a wonderful job of spreading the awareness.
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 ^^
1:17 i teared up around here, idk it's just the feeling i got when i saw her shaking and then the next clip where she just looks at what she just did... this is phenomenal
this is oddly comforting to me, I went through a lot when I was way too young and this sort of thing is really nice to see in a way. the themes are dark and sometimes they can be triggering but you made it in a way that's just incredibly comforting and calming to me.
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!
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
I'm so sorry you went through that. Nobody deserves it. It's a beautiful piece of art. Haunting, tragic, yet soothing in some way. Thank you for making it.
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.
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)
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.
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
thank you for making this, i felt it too deeply having been/being there. vent art is one of the ways that helps me process, and i also hope to spread awareness with it. good job i really loved it
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.
At one point you are so bad that you feel like you have to get out of there somehow, but once you get in there is no way out. When you get lost and look at what you did it feels like being in a dark, endless hallway, and you wonder how you got there but it's too late to stop. I don't wish this on anyone. Sexual abuse cannot be avoided unfortunately, but if you read this and have something sharp in your hands, think twice, you are still in time to heal and not fall into the dark hallway. I lived the second situation and I tell you that if you don't want to feel even worse, avoid the consequences. This left me with a lump in my throat.
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.
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 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.
This feels like you reached into my chest and squeezed my heart hard. Stunning, emotional, and all too real. Thank you for creating and sharing. My heart goes out to all who suffer. 💜
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.
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.
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
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.
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 is the definition of 'Actions speak Louder than Words'. the way you create it seems somber and serene, it's short but has so much deep meaning. I understand this so much since i've seem to experience it... this video is so beautiful yet sad.
This is actually beautiful, and terrifying all at the same time. It’s a very real look into our world and what goes on behind closed doors. The use of clay as skin to show the repetition, the hurting and the healing and the hurting again, was incredible. The use of different mediums here are so unique and brilliant, as it is rarely ever digital. Every iteration of the character was physical in a sense, either as a drawing on paper or an actual doll. It shows the reality of her situation.
@@User-i2n8jthis 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
o jeito que ela fez parecer que os cortes era algo tão rotineiro como escovar os dentes, me pegou muito, espero que tds que passem por isso ou já tiveram essa "fase" se cuidem e tenham um futuro próspero com pessoas que a/o amam e se preocupam contigo
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.
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. 💕
This made my body shiver because of how it is potrayed. The title is so clever yet so telling 😢. It makes me feel so sad for the victims that experience these kind of treatment... This is truly art, and again, whoever experiences this, I fully, whole-heartedly, kindly pray for you ❤
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!
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.
This is incredible, made me want to cry, you are so so talented. I do struggle with some sh at 16, sometimes I dont get scars but do it just because I think I deserve to hurt, since even though I didn't go through SA (which by the way my heart goes out to anyone in this world who, did, including you, you all dont deserve it, you are not to blame they are, and you should have never gone through that int he first place, its disgusting, I love you and you deserve an amazing life) I have struggled with anorexia for almost 2 years now and find myself doing sh if i dont like myself whether that be for how I look, my little friendships, or how I have affected the family even if it wasn't intentional. Everyone goes through different things that may lead to sh, each one so so valid and worthy of help, this is such an important topic to cover, I am sending all the love and hugs I hope you are ok, I am so grateful for you, I love you!!
in those moments its as if its a total black out and only when you feel it ooze out and you space into looking at it, still feeling lost. it feels empty for me. i suddenly went back to it again recently, almost a year clean. memories, regrets even dreams .. awake or sleep its just really hard. watching this, knowing what it could entail and show.. i think i just want to realize or to see it in an outside view to another person and in my heart, i know i wouldnt want anyone to do the same, to experience the same, to go through this but it sounds ironic… even then, i hope everyone who went through this get the peace they deserve living, no more pain.

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
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 I could stop..
Literally.
My right shoulder looks like It got mauled by an animal because of the excessive cutting.

nothing hits harder than looking at your scars after doing it and realizing "what have i done"
This really hit home
Looking at your family and your parents and that one wave of regret start to hit. That’s the worst
@@Yourlocalcatlover-rz6ks ahhh omg
one thing is harder.. seeing that/those person and know that it won't stop.. and thinking it's your fault even if it's not yours..
@@Yourlocalcatlover-rz6ks well, It depends. It doesn't happen when they were the ones to 'cause' it
the way the whole cutting sequence is animated... the cuts getting more and more aggressive, the blackout after this rage, the derealisation, the regret, the empty feeling of it. it hits so hard. this is so beautifully portrayed, im amazed.
edit: checked out the channel and realising this doll is specifically portraying you. i am so sorry. you are so strong ❤
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 !

@@imnotcrainerfar2050immature …
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
You feel better for a moment, then you feel even worse.
I noticed the aggression and it freaked me out
It’s just the silence when you get into the bathroom, close the door, look at yourself in the mirror and say “why did I do this” I hate this feeling
I really wish I can be free from this pain again, for some reason I just can’t let it go.
I hope I’m not annoying anyone by replying after 3 weeks, I’m sorry if this seems corny
the way sh is depicted here is so comforting. the way it's done to let emotions you don't know how to process out. you can't cry, so you bleed, and it feels so good so you keep going and going but it's so shameful and disgusting to look at how you hurt yourself. all bc others hurt you. very well done.
fr! and the way it gets deeper each time with increasing frustration since the girl doesn’t know how else to deal with it.
fr bro, your explanation was so good. also.. ame pfp??!!
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!!!

@@yayayyaf always drama when I ring😝
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.
@@nekemli2622shut up

@@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
it gives the vibe like: disturb the comforted and comfort the disturbed
I like that
Yep
Totally, that saying applies to trauma related stories
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!
U deserve better ❤❤
@@lollip0pseal Thank you. I started putting myself first more and began a Discord community around gaming for adults and I have met many wonderful people through it, including a new girlfriend who has been so amazing, loving and kind.

@@seamtheshopkeeper ):
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).
I am so so glad that you are still here. I wish you lots of Love and nice people that will come your way. I hope you are recovering and are doing well. I am so proud of you for still being here. You survived it. It was tough. Life can be beautiful but also cruel. Don't forget that there are people who care about you and would be sad if you were gone.

@@shayla_art💗💗 I hope you are Doing well. Life is tough but at the end we have to keep moving. But what for? In my religion(Christianity) it is said that we are put through pain, to learn and get stronger. But sometimes the pain is worse. I don't know why.. the world hated Jesus first because he didn't belong here. But why does the world hates us too? We meet people who wronged us and those who influence us with negative shit, yet sometimes we are the problem themselves, the world is full of negative, selfish and greedy people. But at the end there are still good people out there. It means they are strong.. to be clearer, we just don't simply belong here. Jesus got hate for existing, so did we. I know you all are probably not interested. But I want to spread a spark of hope. Kind of sounds weird. But I am glad you guys are still standing. You are strong. Keep going and don't stop. I'm praying for you guys to meet the right people. The ones who wronged you should be punished.

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.

@@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.

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.
I cannot imagine the pain those people feel from suffering in this kind of situation. I hope they get the justice and peace they deserve.
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.

As someone who recovered and also had to deal at a really young age with other people harming themselves, this reall gives me the shivers. Imagining just the suffering my friends had to take things do this measure, the guilt, the disgust you feel and the diziness that makes you wonder if all of this is even real, then after the paranoia you get because maybe there will be a chance someone sees the mess you had made on yourself.

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.

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 😊

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
I'm so sorry you went through that. Nobody deserves it. It's a beautiful piece of art. Haunting, tragic, yet soothing in some way. Thank you for making it.
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.

@@coolstraw7682 thank you!
Wow, truly did not to come across such a gem of a creator on my homepage randomly but you earned a subscriber
its really feels like this, they ruined your perspective of life and love even self love and then they just spect YOU to get over it
At one point you are so bad that you feel like you have to get out of there somehow, but once you get in there is no way out. When you get lost and look at what you did it feels like being in a dark, endless hallway, and you wonder how you got there but it's too late to stop.
I don't wish this on anyone. Sexual abuse cannot be avoided unfortunately, but if you read this and have something sharp in your hands, think twice, you are still in time to heal and not fall into the dark hallway.
I lived the second situation and I tell you that if you don't want to feel even worse, avoid the consequences.
This left me with a lump in my throat.
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.
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 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.

the way I went from being confused on what the title was to understanding towards the end
Bridged swamp islands....this soundtrack is mean too much for me. I feel your stopmotion art in very...special way because of It.
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,

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
Your poem was actually so well written
@@vivian..skyydu thank you, means a lot. ive always been scared to share my writings with others
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.
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.
Nah that cutting sequence had more shock and horror than most horror films nowadays
I freaking cried. Actual tears. Its hard to get through the day when this is so relatable it makes me sad. Omg this is so good, keep going!!
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
0:48 hurt a lot. I was molested as a child and seeing a scene like this in an animatic makes me feel seen.
what a haunting yet beautiful yet sad video ...
the fact it's your first stop-motion animation is crazy !! its so well crafted.
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
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.
As someone who finished both ゆめにっき and 錘(Omori), I immediately felt both games' influence on this video.
And the music used in the video is from Yume 2kki!
@@StarlightPouletas well as yume nikki itself! i’d recognize the sky garden theme anywhere :’}
Yeah agree
This reminded me of both those games, but more on the Yume Nikki side I think
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 is the definition of 'Actions speak Louder than Words'. the way you create it seems somber and serene, it's short but has so much deep meaning. I understand this so much since i've seem to experience it... this video is so beautiful yet sad.
This is actually beautiful, and terrifying all at the same time. It’s a very real look into our world and what goes on behind closed doors. The use of clay as skin to show the repetition, the hurting and the healing and the hurting again, was incredible. The use of different mediums here are so unique and brilliant, as it is rarely ever digital. Every iteration of the character was physical in a sense, either as a drawing on paper or an actual doll. It shows the reality of her situation.
It brought me to tears in a matter of seconds. The atmosphere went right through me. No one deserves that.
i hope anyone that has experienced something like this is doing better ❤️ great animation and even greater intentions
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
this...has true meaning.
Wonder what it is. It must have a deeper story into it
@@User-i2n8jthis 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
Literally mentions the themes at the beginning of the video dude
@Calamity25 yeah ik that I just put in that comment to be satire, dude.
o jeito que ela fez parecer que os cortes era algo tão rotineiro como escovar os dentes, me pegou muito, espero que tds que passem por isso ou já tiveram essa "fase" se cuidem e tenham um futuro próspero com pessoas que a/o amam e se preocupam contigo
the cutting really made my heart drop
oof that is crazy. it's heartwrenching but so sincere and well made. true 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.
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. 💕
The lines... Omfg that is so sad, awwwww this was well made. Bur damn it's haunting. Like it's so sad
This made my body shiver because of how it is potrayed. The title is so clever yet so telling 😢. It makes me feel so sad for the victims that experience these kind of treatment... This is truly art, and again, whoever experiences this, I fully, whole-heartedly, kindly pray for you ❤
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!
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.
This video feels so comfortable and anxious at the same time. Author, you did an incredible job, well done
this reminds me of bad memories and scars from the past, congratulations for the emotion you conveyed
This is incredible, made me want to cry, you are so so talented. I do struggle with some sh at 16, sometimes I dont get scars but do it just because I think I deserve to hurt, since even though I didn't go through SA (which by the way my heart goes out to anyone in this world who, did, including you, you all dont deserve it, you are not to blame they are, and you should have never gone through that int he first place, its disgusting, I love you and you deserve an amazing life) I have struggled with anorexia for almost 2 years now and find myself doing sh if i dont like myself whether that be for how I look, my little friendships, or how I have affected the family even if it wasn't intentional. Everyone goes through different things that may lead to sh, each one so so valid and worthy of help, this is such an important topic to cover, I am sending all the love and hugs I hope you are ok, I am so grateful for you, I love you!!
The cutting sequence getting quicker and more violent gave me chills.
You don't find these videos, these videos find YOU.
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.
in those moments its as if its a total black out and only when you feel it ooze out and you space into looking at it, still feeling lost. it feels empty for me. i suddenly went back to it again recently, almost a year clean. memories, regrets even dreams .. awake or sleep its just really hard. watching this, knowing what it could entail and show.. i think i just want to realize or to see it in an outside view to another person
and in my heart, i know i wouldnt want anyone to do the same, to experience the same, to go through this but it sounds ironic… even then, i hope everyone who went through this get the peace they deserve living, no more pain.
Very scary and uncomfortable, you did a very good job. It was powerful
