C!Sam is the very embodiment of "became the thing he swore to destroy" Edit: tysm for all the likes guys, omg! Ive never gotten over 100 likes :o Edit 2: Whatttt! 1k likes?!? Ty ty! I
This really does show how alike Tommy and Sam are in the eyes of everyone else on the server. Always having one person to blame, they're always the victims of Tommy or Sam.
Sam is Tommy when he's more older canonically on the smp? (seems kinda logical,considering what they've both been through: dream making tubbo exile Tommy,for sam it's essentially killing his social life with ponk) It all ends up where everything started,dream. And the fact that the prison was both of their purgatory aswell,I'm over thinking this a lil bit but it makes sense,hopefully.
Adding on to that, I think I thought of other people that relate to Tommy's situation for example: Tommy and Sapnap: Tommy losing his friends and family because of his selfish nature and short-sighted decision making, choosing stuff over people which causes the problems to become even worse, but sometimes he usually tries to correct those problems when push come to shove, even though he said he's fine with doing things solo and being alone, he still wants people to be around him and to hangout with because doesn't want them to leave him all alone because the affects of Exile and Limbo (either by dying, turning against or just hating in general), now it looks like his best friend and his best friends ghost are planning on having a divorce (hope that doesn't happened), his childhood friend is struggling to to see Dream is a bad person (hope he comes to his senses just like Wilbur did) and just trying to (FINALLY!) cope and heal after Wilbur freed him from Dream's control Sapnap being a hotheaded troublemaker with a habit of killing peoples pets on multiple occasions causing the Pet Wars to happened, he has a strong sense of loyalty to both Dream and George and stuck by each other for all their lives on the DSMP, but then he started to question his friendship with Dream after over hearing about him saying he doesn't care about anything but the discs and ask Tommy about this hoping to believe that what Dream said was a joke, but Tommy not wanting to hurt his feeling said the blunt truth saying that "he was just one of his many bitches" Sapnap, shocked and heartbroken, he decided to push the truth away because one hand, what Tommy said really was the truth but on the other hand, he doesn't want to believe that his best friend was playing with his feelings, but he only realize that what Tommy said was true when Dream unexpectedly announced that George is getting dethroned he realizes in his head "Tommy was right... He really didn't care about anyone", a year later and Sapnap felt so lost now, his former friend has escaped prison and is becoming power hungry again, George is having sleeping problems and although this doesn't affect him that much, he's still kinda sad he can't always hangout as much like how they used too, but the most heartbreaking that happened when his two fiances are at each others throat over something that wasn't even true in the first place, and now Sapnap has to deal with Dream, George, Quackity and Karl's supposed breakup with one another Tommy and George: Tommy always followed his brother's lead in L'manburg, in Pogtopia, in Paradise and now the Wilburger and Ranvan business, no matter how questionable his action is and was even sometimes Tommy himself will hesitate on what Wilbur is planning (like blowing up Manberg and letting Wilbur visit Dream in prison) he will follow him matter the cost nor sacrifices because he wants to keep Wilbur out of trouble (just like how Wilbur keep Tommy out of trouble when he was still alive and sane) but also he knows that deep down he knows that somewhere is that kindhearted man he once was a d knew and wishing for the day he will be who he used to be (which worked out in the end), he has a strong loyalty to him even when he was losing his sanity in Pogtopia, Tommy never betrayed Wilbur and never gave up on him no matter what people told him George has been with Dream since the servers beginning, they fight together, laugh together and just chill with each other too, they were so close that some members will call them a couple and even sometimes, him and Dream will just flirt with each other, in private and in public, they were completely inseparable, that is until Dream took his kingship away from George, he was devastated, upset but most of all... Betrayed, the person that promises him that he will be king one day and that said person made him king, but it is now the same one that stripped it away from him for his "Protection" and "Safety" after George got killed by Techno on the throne and Dream that was supposed to be his knight didn't do anything to help him, but despite all of what Dream and he's seeing his true colors now, he can't let go of all the memories he has with Dream and of course this resulting in "Dreaming" about him, wishing to go back to how things used to be before the server turned chaotic and for Dream to become good again, but it was all just fantasy and none of it is real and that he can never have what he wanted and Dream is just to far gone to be reason with Tommy and Foolish Tommy thought that he was doomed when he was accidentally imprisoned with his worst enemy after an unknown explosion happened on the prison roof and waiting for Sam to let him out but he bit off more than he can chew because not only was he killed by Dream but he realize that Sam left him to die in there which he said to Connor about, he felt betrayed by him and thought he was irresponsible to run the prison because of what happened, this distrust for Sam expanded when Dream escaped prison and Tommy accused him for not letting him kill Dream (Tommy being unaware about Micheal's kidnaping and Ranboo's death both cause by Sam) When Eret was about to get sacrifice at the Rad banquet, Foolish not wanting his friend to die volunteer to take their place which causes Foolish to be executed instead by Ant, after the banquet happened, Quackity visits Foolish and reveals that he let the Eggpire kill him that get him back to how he used to be in the past, he was enraged feeling betrayed by truth, Foolish demands Quackity to leave him alone only for Big Q to give him a choice, he will leave Foolish be only if he decides to join Las Nevadas, he thinks over about Quackity's offer and after a long time he decided on his choice and join his nation Sorry if this is so long, I just love making essays
Well said. If he hasn’t been left to be the sole warden, maybe if Dream hadn’t intentionally made the prison a terrible place, then things may have been different.
When Sam sees this, I’d bet money he’s gonna either A) cry or B) tell you you hit the nail right on the head like always for his character. I love his character so much. He deserves so, so much better.
Warning: Dream's face haha. That was beautifully done. Sam's entire story summed up so neatly with so much extra to answer what wasn't shown. What could only be assumed illustrated so vividly. Never fails to amaze me. Awesamdude should be proud.
Oh wow.. that hit me harder than the trains in Wilbur's limbo. That was so good! I love how it's not just the simple story in that area, it reflects on past experiences in between. I loved that.
This honestly felt like a trailer/short film for Sam's life. Like- the art, the use of darker colors and silhouettes, I've always loved you're art Grimmijagger, but something about this animatic hits different. Amazing and beautiful work as always! Can't see what's going to happen next
I love the way sam's character evolves during the smp. It's like instead of getting better, the guilt is eating him up from the inside, making him portray himself as a bad person.
This is so good. You have turned such an underrated character into one of my favorites. I always forget how much trauma everyone goes through. You’re so good at what you do, so thank you
….so you know how everyone’s like “wow you show a lot of depth to Sam that people don’t really understand “ Yeah that’s an understatement. It’s about 10x that.
I’m so glad to see someone who doesn’t depict c!sam as evil, I always dislike how people try to make him seem worse then dream on the principle that “at least dream admits he’s evil” which doesn’t really make sense to me Love the animatic, probably one of my favourite you’ve ever made, please never stop making art of the sad creeper man and have a good day
This actually made me tear up. The part with Foolish telling Sam that he's loved and he has friends and he doesn't have to carry his burdens alone only for him to respond that he didn't want his burdens to be a burden to anyone else was so sad. And it hit close to home personally. This was such a well made animatic
Finally after all these years. A proper portrayal of all the shit sam has been through that led to his actions. Sam is absolutely my favorite dsmp character and your content has done nothing but increase that affection. I adore this, I cannot stop watching it. Sam is such a tragic character, someone who has given up so much of who he is for the sake of others only to become corrupted and outcast from the very people he tried his damn best to protect. I think what separates him from other characters is just how much his actions are a result of his duty, what he thought would result in the best outcome over his own humanity and morals. I could ramble on more but i just gotta say. thank you for making this, its amazing and i adore it. Poor little hiss hiss.
@@Grimmijaggers Spite is certainly a powerful motivator! I don’t mind people upset with his actions and viewing him negatively- it’s pretty damn justified- but i can’t stand when they think his motives are selfish or of malice or sadism or whatever- the depth of his character really comes from how much he cares about others- that he has a good heart, and even though he tries so hard-maybe because he tries so hard- his actions end up hurting people. One of the most telling things about his character imo is when he blamed Eret and Technoblade for his imprisonment, but not Tubbo- the person who came up with his punishment- man he’s so interesting and despite everything he still wants to protect people.
This slaps freaking hard. I love that you included even bits from before Tommy era. Many people forget that even tho they weren't exactly roleplaying there was still something. The connection between characters that are now divided.
@@Grimmijaggers For me, those were the first streams I watched from DSMP in late 2020. I've got a silly attachment to them and I'm just glad when people include them in their animatic. (also it slaps and hurts but yeah angst)
Warning; “Dreams face” HAHA I feel like, Sam expresses himself and he only gets punished. Trapped above the egg, Trapped in over-load prison work (to make others happy) Trapped in the prison himself. He can barely tell the difference of right or wrong. Not to mention, people don’t consider how he’s feeling about everything. Unlike Dream, he isn’t laughing at Tommy, Ghostbur or Ranboo dying. Sam wants to protect the kids, he feels like he can’t protect the ones turning into adults as their thinking for themselves and yes while he likes that. He hates it, he can’t be a father figure. Because he just turns those who once seen him as family away. He wants to d!e, he’s begged Ponk to k!ll him, Sam’s fine with the fact Dream killed him. And he’s having to listen to what Quackity wants. Or else he won’t be considered anyone’s family. It’s like Las Nevada’s is his last choice.
@@Grimmijaggers Yep. Especially with how his c!Sam can go from c!sam to c!samnook to c!warden to now c!sambucket It’s a mess yet I understand so much of it. I generally relate to him on a sad level :’D
Wow. I have been so mad at C!Sam lately with him always saying “It was for the greater good”. I thought I understood his character but didn’t approve of his actions. You’re storytelling from this is so amazing. I’ve watched so many of you animatics before, but this one hits differently to me. Thank you! It’s truly amazing!
This is amazing, i knew c!Sam was another tragic character but I never realized how much he went through. Your depiction of him and the events, choice of music and choice of when to put an flashback in made this incredibly emotional and catching.
The parts where tommy yelled Sam cut to the part where he was killed hit different, also the part where Sam finally came home and his dog looked scared of him hit deep.
Oh my GOD. I came into this KNOWING it's gonna be amazing and you still somehow made it better what the HELL!!!!!!!! especially the frames with sam and dream those are literally my favorites they are SO GOOD I LOVED WATCHING THIS AND I'M PROBABLY GONNA REWATCH THIS AND REDRAW SOME SCENES BECAUSE OH MY GOD I'M OBSESSED. The last part with fran..!!! all the gorey/bloody frames are SO WELL DONE AND GOOD!!!!!!!! GOOODDDDDDDDDD Grimmi i can't get enough of you this is genuinely my favorite thing ever right now and I'm literally shaking just seeing this animatic. Amazing work, loved seeing you work on it and I am in love with this!!!!!!!
I legit started tearing up. God that was so good!!!I will never get over how well you are able to demonstrate Sam's character. I also really loved the symbolism of everyone having pointing at Tommy as the blame of all the problems to then pointing at Sam. It was such a cool concept and actually fits really well. Also the way you draw Dream continues to terrify me. It's perfect
And the fact that Sam said he just wanted Tommy to have closure from his past only to cause him even more trauma to develop in him and only making it worse that hurts, Also, how would Sam react to what happened in the prison? How will learn and understand the truth that the one person to give Tommy the closure he deserves but also find out that it was L'manburg's former leader himself before Tubbo
Whenever Youthh by Daughter gets used for a DSMP character specially Tommy i know i will get emotional Your representation of C!Sam is my favorite based on how you portray him not just as a supervilian but a very tragic person who became what he swore to destroy like he is You tend to show me streams from members of the server i'm able to watch and you portray them so deservingly I've known you from Dream SMP The Musical and i am glad i kept up with your work
AS A SAM APOLOGIST I CAN'T WAIT But like I know he has done loads of bad things don't get me wrong but like I don't think he deserved a pickaxe to the face then proceeds to cover it up like he's covering his trauma so he seems tough bc he is the warden and all that I think sometimes people forget that Sam is human to and has feelings or(creeper?) overall he's put under a lot of stress to look after a prison that big alone guide others keep dream away when technolade and that breaks him out then proceed to get the blame yknow? (This is my opinion don't come for me:'P) Now he's blind in one eye and no on else knows I'm pretty sure I think this is a new manipulation arc on its way with dream and Sam Damn this is messed up 😕
Oh. My. Gawd. Loved the egg reference for when sam was locked in prison. Overall this entire thing is just so beautifully made and put together I am so jealous
I think a lot of people forget about Sam, he often gets pushed aside because of characters like Tommy, Wilbur and Ranboo. He’s had it much worse than a lot of other characters and lots of people forget that
I just watched the VOD of San being trapped with the egg, and suddenly his bloody state makes sense. His flesh was falling off and he was starving so he ate it. That’s why he’s so bloody at 1:15
Aaaand this is why I love Sam as a character so much. And I ended up having a lot to say, so buckle up if you want to read this full thing. Also, while I have added c! where it caught it, I am primarily talking about the characters rather than the content creators, so if you don't see one just assume I meant the character not the creator behind them. While being a villian to several others (such as Tubbo), his descent is a lot more complex and thus I would actually use the word antagonist. He isn't directly evil, just is an opposing force to the perceived protagonist/hero. He tries to do what he believes is right, even if he knows it will put him as the 'bad guy.' Yes, his goodness has been covered up over time, but that doesn't mean it still isn't there. One can take the moment with c!Ranboo, highlighted 2:03, as an example. He knows what he did hurt people deeply, and he knows he could have avoided what happened by stepping in. But one thing c!Sam will not tolerate is others having the same shame, the same weight of guilt that he does. This is even directly backed up by the moment highlighted at 4:47 with his response to c!Foolish. It's not simply that it's hard for him to accept help, it simply is because he doesn't want anyone else to be in the same position as him because he has dealt with this enough times that he believes he can take it. One of the other commenters, Rebekah Tink, pointed out that Sam "became the thing he swore to destroy." It may be a bit more complex than that, more of "Sam became the bad guy so that no one else had to." He became so fixated on his job that he fell from a position of honor but after so many other people calling him the villain, he probably believes it. (Note, talking about the character being called that by other characters.) Transitioning to the animatic itself now that I've done my character analysis, I loved the moments you chose and the structure of the video. The pacing made it easy to understand what was going on and the dialogue choices were picked well. The song teared me up at the beginning when I recognized it and I did shed some tears. The expressions were wonderful and the poses backed them up well. Obviously, my two moments are at 2:03 and 4:47 as I mentioned them in my analysis above, but I also liked 2:30 with the cuts back to Sam's ties to others and later with Dream post 5:04. Not sure why I like that second bit so much, but it really drives home what Sam felt. Also, sad puppy at the end and I want to hug c!Sam.
This is amazing. Sam’s backstory and trauma makes so much sense now. Thank you for bringing attention to the more minor characters. :) This makes Sam’s ending in the egg lore finale even sadder.
From 5:01 to the end, literally gives me chills. Every. Time. I’ve come back to watch this at least once a day. I love both of these characters so much. The story makes me feel like I’m RIGHT THERE.
i cannot get over that frame at 5:24. it truly took my breath away C!sam looks so horrified as c!dream holds the power in their dynamic. this whole animatic is amazing
I’m legit watching this and I can’t stop crying. It’s beautiful how you show what C!Sam has been throughout the first season of the Smp. Thank you for this amazing animation and other animations that you created, I started getting into the Dsmp and into Sam’s character.
This was so good but it also hurt so much emotionally, Great Job Grimmi, you did absolutely amazing /gen I hope you have a great day/night and that you stay safe!!
This is some amazing work. And The amount of stuff Sam had gone through is alot..and he is not a bad person that people sometimes think he is. He still try his best. Also the angst is very good.
Every Awesamdude animatic you make makes me fall even more in love with Sam's character. I'm a huge fan of complex characters (especially the ones with actions that are extremely hard to justify). Your love for his character shows in every animatic and I love the emotions you portray! Amazing work!
I loved this! It showed so much emotion and it shows a good perspective of what Sam has done or went through. It shows how much he really cares for everybody, especially Tommy. This was beautiful and sad and I can’t wait for another great video! ^^
'releases air' that hit hard. It shows how much you understand this character specifically. In the one hand I got cills and my heart got rent but on the other hand I loved this to death. This is your best work yet. I love having seen your animator journey up to this point and so many of your high quality animations. The feels have always been so invoked by your works of art. This one defiantly hit the hardest though and fit the character the best. I'm saving this and I wish I could like this at minimum 50 times over. I'm saving and rewatching at least one other time. This was great. I'm not sure if you will ever be able to top this but if you do I'm here for it. This was amazing.
5:20 god I got chills. And the gore of sams face is butiful. Wow just wow. I luv how ur showing that Sam really isn’t a bad person and feels responsible for everything that’s happened and how sorry he is. I’m crying right now
5:26 Omg, I didn’t realize this when I first watched it, I used to think it was going to be a cool shot of showing on one half of the screen Dream and the other Sam, but I just noticed that we are seeing through Sam’s, and he can’t see the other half due to his injured eye! That’s so clever
Sam's character arc is so complex and I love it. You can see throughout the entire video, he was trying to do what he believed was the best thing to protect those he cared about. But he was so blinded by what he thought was right, he didn't see Dream's web of manipulation he had tangled himself up in until it was too late. Gosh this was an amazing video! 😊👍
Wow, this is amazing!! To see Sam´s story summond up makes it impossible to see him just as "the bad guy" or "a super villain". His story is so complex like most of the background of the other characters. But especially Sam has a huge package to carry. 😢
I am blown away by this. I always saw sam as a bad guy or one of dream's puppets, but you showed me a different side of him that I never saw before. Well done, my friend.
C!Sam is such a scapegoat, it hurts !! I was and still am so baffled that all the characters and so many people in the community blame him for Dream escaping, instead of the Syndicate who planned and made it happen !! As much as I love the depressed creeper man, I wish he found closure and comfort too... Amazing art as always !^^ And awesome analyse of the character as per usual♥
This is one of my favourite bits so I'm glad you animated this!! Edit: I must say that this might be one of my favourite animations from you! Very well done and the music fits most wonderfully.
The pain i felt when it said "from ever missing them" and showing all his freinds then it zooming in on ponk and saying "but I'm forever missing him" the utter pain i felt i swear- and to make it worse then it showed tommy- goddamnit why????
I'm still new to this story, and I learn my information through animatics and art. Thank you for showing how much Sam has been through, and how much he cares for Tommy. I've never even heard most of this dialogue before. It's such a beautiful animatic, with such a beautiful song choice
Beautiful! and so sad.. Stumbled upon this by chance when I noticed that you’ve used my version of the song Youth. Thank you for attaching it to these beautiful story and art, and thank you everyone here for the kind words on my music ❤️ This really inspires me to release more videos even though it’s been a few years.. so see you soon :) I’ll definitely dive in to more videos here to get to know the characters and background! Thanks!
Sam plays such a huge role in the server but everyone disregards Sam himself. It's always "what can Sam do for me" " how can Sam benefit me" It's a terrible mindset. And then there's a clip. And I know it exist but I can't find the vid clip. Tommy and tubbo where talking as normal then tubbo asks "Tommy? How do you think sam is?" Tommy.y then responded with "WHY should I care tubbo?" And I mean CMON WHY? *it's 1130 rn. I'm tired and crying*
I am sobbing rn. This perfectly sums up the reasons why Sam became the person he is. Sam is one of my favorite characters because of how complex and emotionally deep he is.
No cause this actually made me cry. It’s one thing seeing his slow descent into madness, but having it all laid out in five minutes really hits hard. As always you did an amazing job animating and portraying the characters
I'm crying, this is so good! you did absolutely amazing and the song just really added a mood to the whole animation. Once again, This is amazing and you do so well at what you make and i swear you outdo yourself every time. I hope you have a good day and keep up the good work.
This is *true artistry at its finest* In smallest terms. But this.. THIS WAS AMAZING! Before the premier, the chat was just preparing food and tissues and blankets, it was adorable! I mean, now, seeing this, how can people see poor ol’ Sam and still be so mean about him. The guy has been through so much and just wanted to do the right thing which in the end turned against him. And all the detail in this! Like Sam’s slightly-grayish blood, Dreams shorter hair, and the chains on Sam instead, I also love The Egg references! In my opinion, Sam is still a great person. He just needs a hug and a redemption arc. I also love the song used- Heard it before in another animatic and loved it. How can you do this Grimm THIS IS A CRIME IT IS A CRIME TO MAKE AN ANIMATIC THIS GOOD. HOW CAN YOU MAKE US CRY OVER DIS CREEPER MAN? AHHHHHH PURE AWESOMENESS! A that was… just amazing. I’m speechless. You have fed our hungry, animatic-wanting mouths yet again! A BANGER as usual from Grimmijaggers.
HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS ONE YET. Holy s h i t that hurt so much in the best way to see. You really tied his whole character together SO WELL and I love this so so so much
Grimm, I just- AAAAAAAA- poor Sammy- best boi- this whole thing LITERALLY gave me a new perspective of his character. I was never mad at him or thought he was in the wrong, (unlike some people that can't understand what fiction is,) but I never looked into him enough to have acfua,ly been able to see all of this everything that's been pushing him down. This is incredible as always Grimm ♡ ALSO, FOOLISH HELPED HIM SORTA FEEL BETTER- YEEEEEEEE-
BRUH YOUR STORYTELLING THROUGH THE MUSIC AND THE AUDIO IS ALWAYS SO SPOT ON I've never seen anyone utilize audio clips as well as you, and your art always perfectly catches what's happening, I'm always so excited to see your stuff!!!
honestly my oppinion sams the most tragic character of dream smp aside from ranboo,and tubbo,sam started out trying to help others and keep everyone happy,he then became slowly corrupted as he would stay in the prison most times,ruined his relationship with ponk the second he cut off ponks hand even tho he tried to help he still became what he swore to destroy,and when things got to bad he ended up killing ranboo which caused his demise and emprisonment and thus he was more suseptible to dreams control i hope tommy can reunite with sam
Nah bc the memories and emotions I have accosiated with thos song whyyy?! 😭 (/Lh /nm also most those emotions came from the warrior cats fandom, also nice video, though I did actually cry 🥲)
This is emotional..He only just realises what he’s become. Also you really managed the video well!The audio is like a teaser for a cool movie or smth!And the animation is beautiful, I love your art style.
I do think it’s interesting how good of a person Sam was before the prison totally corrupted him. It’s unbelievable that he would go as far as killing Ranboo, after the lengths he went to try and be a good person, and help people. It’s hard to tell because Sam wasn’t always a part of the main lore, but if this were a real animated show, this might be the saddest story on the server.
Because his story is so spread out throughout various POVs and rare sam lore streams, it's easy to miss how intense and tragic his story is, for sure. Hence why I draw him so much, haha
Heee hands down my go to for Sam content. The beautiful synergy on this with both music choice and scene flow are on point as usual. Now to watch it over and over
Holy- I have goosebumps. This is so good! This definitely describes Sam's role as of right now in the Dream SMP. I love your art style too, and I can't wait to see more in the future!

This really does show how alike Tommy and Sam are in the eyes of everyone else on the server. Always having one person to blame, they're always the victims of Tommy or Sam.
* slams table * YES, THANK YOU
somebody else sees it
Sam is Tommy when he's more older canonically on the smp? (seems kinda logical,considering what they've both been through: dream making tubbo exile Tommy,for sam it's essentially killing his social life with ponk) It all ends up where everything started,dream. And the fact that the prison was both of their purgatory aswell,I'm over thinking this a lil bit but it makes sense,hopefully.
Adding on to that, I think I thought of other people that relate to Tommy's situation for example:
Tommy and Sapnap:
Tommy losing his friends and family because of his selfish nature and short-sighted decision making, choosing stuff over people which causes the problems to become even worse, but sometimes he usually tries to correct those problems when push come to shove, even though he said he's fine with doing things solo and being alone, he still wants people to be around him and to hangout with because doesn't want them to leave him all alone because the affects of Exile and Limbo (either by dying, turning against or just hating in general), now it looks like his best friend and his best friends ghost are planning on having a divorce (hope that doesn't happened), his childhood friend is struggling to to see Dream is a bad person (hope he comes to his senses just like Wilbur did) and just trying to (FINALLY!) cope and heal after Wilbur freed him from Dream's control
Sapnap being a hotheaded troublemaker with a habit of killing peoples pets on multiple occasions causing the Pet Wars to happened, he has a strong sense of loyalty to both Dream and George and stuck by each other for all their lives on the DSMP, but then he started to question his friendship with Dream after over hearing about him saying he doesn't care about anything but the discs and ask Tommy about this hoping to believe that what Dream said was a joke, but Tommy not wanting to hurt his feeling said the blunt truth saying that "he was just one of his many bitches" Sapnap, shocked and heartbroken, he decided to push the truth away because one hand, what Tommy said really was the truth but on the other hand, he doesn't want to believe that his best friend was playing with his feelings, but he only realize that what Tommy said was true when Dream unexpectedly announced that George is getting dethroned he realizes in his head "Tommy was right... He really didn't care about anyone", a year later and Sapnap felt so lost now, his former friend has escaped prison and is becoming power hungry again, George is having sleeping problems and although this doesn't affect him that much, he's still kinda sad he can't always hangout as much like how they used too, but the most heartbreaking that happened when his two fiances are at each others throat over something that wasn't even true in the first place, and now Sapnap has to deal with Dream, George, Quackity and Karl's supposed breakup with one another
Tommy and George:
Tommy always followed his brother's lead in L'manburg, in Pogtopia, in Paradise and now the Wilburger and Ranvan business, no matter how questionable his action is and was even sometimes Tommy himself will hesitate on what Wilbur is planning (like blowing up Manberg and letting Wilbur visit Dream in prison) he will follow him matter the cost nor sacrifices because he wants to keep Wilbur out of trouble (just like how Wilbur keep Tommy out of trouble when he was still alive and sane) but also he knows that deep down he knows that somewhere is that kindhearted man he once was a d knew and wishing for the day he will be who he used to be (which worked out in the end), he has a strong loyalty to him even when he was losing his sanity in Pogtopia, Tommy never betrayed Wilbur and never gave up on him no matter what people told him
George has been with Dream since the servers beginning, they fight together, laugh together and just chill with each other too, they were so close that some members will call them a couple and even sometimes, him and Dream will just flirt with each other, in private and in public, they were completely inseparable, that is until Dream took his kingship away from George, he was devastated, upset but most of all... Betrayed, the person that promises him that he will be king one day and that said person made him king, but it is now the same one that stripped it away from him for his "Protection" and "Safety" after George got killed by Techno on the throne and Dream that was supposed to be his knight didn't do anything to help him, but despite all of what Dream and he's seeing his true colors now, he can't let go of all the memories he has with Dream and of course this resulting in "Dreaming" about him, wishing to go back to how things used to be before the server turned chaotic and for Dream to become good again, but it was all just fantasy and none of it is real and that he can never have what he wanted and Dream is just to far gone to be reason with
Tommy and Foolish
Tommy thought that he was doomed when he was accidentally imprisoned with his worst enemy after an unknown explosion happened on the prison roof and waiting for Sam to let him out but he bit off more than he can chew because not only was he killed by Dream but he realize that Sam left him to die in there which he said to Connor about, he felt betrayed by him and thought he was irresponsible to run the prison because of what happened, this distrust for Sam expanded when Dream escaped prison and Tommy accused him for not letting him kill Dream (Tommy being unaware about Micheal's kidnaping and Ranboo's death both cause by Sam)
When Eret was about to get sacrifice at the Rad banquet, Foolish not wanting his friend to die volunteer to take their place which causes Foolish to be executed instead by Ant, after the banquet happened, Quackity visits Foolish and reveals that he let the Eggpire kill him that get him back to how he used to be in the past, he was enraged feeling betrayed by truth, Foolish demands Quackity to leave him alone only for Big Q to give him a choice, he will leave Foolish be only if he decides to join Las Nevadas, he thinks over about Quackity's offer and after a long time he decided on his choice and join his nation
Sorry if this is so long, I just love making essays
Omg, this is so beautiful and sad, and shows how Sam always meant well, he just made a lot of mistakes that caused tremendous amount of damage
yep yep yep
@@ZekromAndYugiAndDrago123 yeah but did he really deserve a pickaxe to the face
When a bunch of little things snowball into something uncontrollable
Well said. If he hasn’t been left to be the sole warden, maybe if Dream hadn’t intentionally made the prison a terrible place, then things may have been different.
This video hit on so many character points! A great review of Sam's character and motivations! Amazing work!
first
Thank you so much! I was watching your stream while you reacted, it made me so genuinely happy, thank you!
@@Grimmijaggers first to reply to you
SAM AND ERET COMMENTED :OOO
When Sam sees this, I’d bet money he’s gonna either A) cry or B) tell you you hit the nail right on the head like always for his character. I love his character so much. He deserves so, so much better.
I just hopes he likes it :’D
Same, same
Or C) both. SERIOUSLY THIS IS AWESOME
Warning: Dream's face haha.
That was beautifully done. Sam's entire story summed up so neatly with so much extra to answer what wasn't shown. What could only be assumed illustrated so vividly. Never fails to amaze me. Awesamdude should be proud.
I tried adding as much as I could, but I simply didn't have enough time in the song * sobs *
thank you so much :D
Dream's face is worthy of a warning
I agree- Sam should really be proud. I hope he sees this!
Oh wow.. that hit me harder than the trains in Wilbur's limbo. That was so good! I love how it's not just the simple story in that area, it reflects on past experiences in between. I loved that.
heheh thank you so much :D
Hit harder than the trains in limbo oh my gO-
This honestly felt like a trailer/short film for Sam's life. Like- the art, the use of darker colors and silhouettes, I've always loved you're art Grimmijagger, but something about this animatic hits different. Amazing and beautiful work as always! Can't see what's going to happen next
Thank you so much :’D that means a lot
I love the way sam's character evolves during the smp. It's like instead of getting better, the guilt is eating him up from the inside, making him portray himself as a bad person.
“Character development? Nah, nah, character *regression*”
Ye, I agree, I love it
This is so good. You have turned such an underrated character into one of my favorites. I always forget how much trauma everyone goes through. You’re so good at what you do, so thank you
Thank you so much, it means a lot :D
@@Grimmijaggers you’re very welcome. And I say it cause it’s true!
same! tbh, I was not a fan cause Ranboo died from him and all, but he's one of my favs now
….so you know how everyone’s like “wow you show a lot of depth to Sam that people don’t really understand “
Yeah that’s an understatement. It’s about 10x that.
Pfffff thank you so much!
His expression is so innocent and sad 😭
I still can't wait to see!!!
I’m so glad to see someone who doesn’t depict c!sam as evil, I always dislike how people try to make him seem worse then dream on the principle that “at least dream admits he’s evil” which doesn’t really make sense to me
Love the animatic, probably one of my favourite you’ve ever made, please never stop making art of the sad creeper man and have a good day
I actually made this animatic out of spite for the amount of mischaracterisation I saw as of recent, haha
Not stopping any time soon, haha
This actually made me tear up. The part with Foolish telling Sam that he's loved and he has friends and he doesn't have to carry his burdens alone only for him to respond that he didn't want his burdens to be a burden to anyone else was so sad. And it hit close to home personally. This was such a well made animatic
Literally, when I found that scene, it just hurt my heart, like, ouch
Thank you :D
Finally after all these years. A proper portrayal of all the shit sam has been through that led to his actions. Sam is absolutely my favorite dsmp character and your content has done nothing but increase that affection. I adore this, I cannot stop watching it. Sam is such a tragic character, someone who has given up so much of who he is for the sake of others only to become corrupted and outcast from the very people he tried his damn best to protect. I think what separates him from other characters is just how much his actions are a result of his duty, what he thought would result in the best outcome over his own humanity and morals. I could ramble on more but i just gotta say. thank you for making this, its amazing and i adore it. Poor little hiss hiss.
I made this animatic out of spite due to all the mischaracterisation I saw haha
Thank you so much, I love him too
@@Grimmijaggers Spite is certainly a powerful motivator! I don’t mind people upset with his actions and viewing him negatively- it’s pretty damn justified- but i can’t stand when they think his motives are selfish or of malice or sadism or whatever- the depth of his character really comes from how much he cares about others- that he has a good heart, and even though he tries so hard-maybe because he tries so hard- his actions end up hurting people.
One of the most telling things about his character imo is when he blamed Eret and Technoblade for his imprisonment, but not Tubbo- the person who came up with his punishment- man he’s so interesting and despite everything he still wants to protect people.
This slaps freaking hard. I love that you included even bits from before Tommy era. Many people forget that even tho they weren't exactly roleplaying there was still something. The connection between characters that are now divided.
I had a lot of fun doing research haha
@@Grimmijaggers For me, those were the first streams I watched from DSMP in late 2020. I've got a silly attachment to them and I'm just glad when people include them in their animatic. (also it slaps and hurts but yeah angst)
Warning;
“Dreams face”
HAHA
I feel like, Sam expresses himself and he only gets punished.
Trapped above the egg,
Trapped in over-load prison work (to make others happy)
Trapped in the prison himself.
He can barely tell the difference of right or wrong.
Not to mention, people don’t consider how he’s feeling about everything.
Unlike Dream, he isn’t laughing at Tommy, Ghostbur or Ranboo dying.
Sam wants to protect the kids, he feels like he can’t protect the ones turning into adults as their thinking for themselves and yes while he likes that. He hates it, he can’t be a father figure. Because he just turns those who once seen him as family away.
He wants to d!e, he’s begged Ponk to k!ll him, Sam’s fine with the fact Dream killed him.
And he’s having to listen to what Quackity wants. Or else he won’t be considered anyone’s family.
It’s like Las Nevada’s is his last choice.
He's a very complicated character and I absolutely love cc!Sam for it
@@Grimmijaggers
Yep. Especially with how his c!Sam can go from c!sam to c!samnook to c!warden to now c!sambucket
It’s a mess yet I understand so much of it.
I generally relate to him on a sad level :’D
Wow. I have been so mad at C!Sam lately with him always saying “It was for the greater good”. I thought I understood his character but didn’t approve of his actions. You’re storytelling from this is so amazing. I’ve watched so many of you animatics before, but this one hits differently to me. Thank you! It’s truly amazing!
Thank you so much! I’m glad I could help you understand him a bit more
This is amazing, i knew c!Sam was another tragic character but I never realized how much he went through. Your depiction of him and the events, choice of music and choice of when to put an flashback in made this incredibly emotional and catching.
Ahhhh thank you!
This… was amazing. I don’t really have any words. I started crying in the middle.
Thank you!
This is amazing!! Love how well you showed the emotion and Sam’s turmoil. Great animatic ^^
Thank you!
The parts where tommy yelled Sam cut to the part where he was killed hit different, also the part where Sam finally came home and his dog looked scared of him hit deep.
love me some good old Sam angst
Oh my GOD. I came into this KNOWING it's gonna be amazing and you still somehow made it better what the HELL!!!!!!!! especially the frames with sam and dream those are literally my favorites they are SO GOOD I LOVED WATCHING THIS AND I'M PROBABLY GONNA REWATCH THIS AND REDRAW SOME SCENES BECAUSE OH MY GOD I'M OBSESSED. The last part with fran..!!! all the gorey/bloody frames are SO WELL DONE AND GOOD!!!!!!!! GOOODDDDDDDDDD Grimmi i can't get enough of you this is genuinely my favorite thing ever right now and I'm literally shaking just seeing this animatic. Amazing work, loved seeing you work on it and I am in love with this!!!!!!!
*AGFBFDVLDNFKLIU*
THANK YOU SO MUCH :'D
Agreed
I legit started tearing up. God that was so good!!!I will never get over how well you are able to demonstrate Sam's character. I also really loved the symbolism of everyone having pointing at Tommy as the blame of all the problems to then pointing at Sam. It was such a cool concept and actually fits really well. Also the way you draw Dream continues to terrify me. It's perfect
hehehe thank you!!
And the fact that Sam said he just wanted Tommy to have closure from his past only to cause him even more trauma to develop in him and only making it worse that hurts,
Also, how would Sam react to what happened in the prison? How will learn and understand the truth that the one person to give Tommy the closure he deserves but also find out that it was L'manburg's former leader himself before Tubbo
He's one of the characters I appreciate the most, he's a great part of the SMP I promise you, his story is deep
Absolutely
Whenever Youthh by Daughter gets used for a DSMP character specially Tommy
i know i will get emotional
Your representation of C!Sam is my favorite based on how you portray him not just as a supervilian but a very tragic person who became what he swore to destroy like he is
You tend to show me streams from members of the server i'm able to watch and you portray them so deservingly
I've known you from Dream SMP The Musical and i am glad i kept up with your work
Aww thank you so much :’D
I try adding as much research as I can to my videos, it means a lot that you noticed
This...is actually so amazing. I cried, and since i am a dream stan, seeing this makes me realize that sam is such an overlooked victim. Dream, WHYYY?
Ayyyy I’m glad I could give you a different perspective of the Sam :D
@@Grimmijaggers All these animatics are amazing and i love the drawing of sam! I love these animations! Keep it up :D
One of my fav vids. Great animations. Dream is so evil i love it
Thanks!
AS A SAM APOLOGIST I CAN'T WAIT
But like I know he has done loads of bad things don't get me wrong but like I don't think he deserved a pickaxe to the face then proceeds to cover it up like he's covering his trauma so he seems tough bc he is the warden and all that I think sometimes people forget that Sam is human to and has feelings or(creeper?) overall he's put under a lot of stress to look after a prison that big alone guide others keep dream away when technolade and that breaks him out then proceed to get the blame yknow?
(This is my opinion don't come for me:'P)
Now he's blind in one eye and no on else knows I'm pretty sure
I think this is a new manipulation arc on its way with dream and Sam
Damn this is messed up 😕
Oh. My. Gawd.
Loved the egg reference for when sam was locked in prison.
Overall this entire thing is just so beautifully made and put together I am so jealous
Thank you so much :D
I think a lot of people forget about Sam, he often gets pushed aside because of characters like Tommy, Wilbur and Ranboo. He’s had it much worse than a lot of other characters and lots of people forget that
Yeah, but that's how it goes when some streamers have more followers than others.
@@Grimmijaggers That’s true
(Also I’m a huge fan and loved your cursed town AU videos)
I just watched the VOD of San being trapped with the egg, and suddenly his bloody state makes sense. His flesh was falling off and he was starving so he ate it. That’s why he’s so bloody at 1:15
man cannibalised himself
“Is it cannibalism if it’s yourself?”
- Tommyinnit 202?
Aaaand this is why I love Sam as a character so much. And I ended up having a lot to say, so buckle up if you want to read this full thing. Also, while I have added c! where it caught it, I am primarily talking about the characters rather than the content creators, so if you don't see one just assume I meant the character not the creator behind them.
While being a villian to several others (such as Tubbo), his descent is a lot more complex and thus I would actually use the word antagonist. He isn't directly evil, just is an opposing force to the perceived protagonist/hero. He tries to do what he believes is right, even if he knows it will put him as the 'bad guy.' Yes, his goodness has been covered up over time, but that doesn't mean it still isn't there. One can take the moment with c!Ranboo, highlighted 2:03, as an example. He knows what he did hurt people deeply, and he knows he could have avoided what happened by stepping in. But one thing c!Sam will not tolerate is others having the same shame, the same weight of guilt that he does. This is even directly backed up by the moment highlighted at 4:47 with his response to c!Foolish. It's not simply that it's hard for him to accept help, it simply is because he doesn't want anyone else to be in the same position as him because he has dealt with this enough times that he believes he can take it.
One of the other commenters, Rebekah Tink, pointed out that Sam "became the thing he swore to destroy." It may be a bit more complex than that, more of "Sam became the bad guy so that no one else had to." He became so fixated on his job that he fell from a position of honor but after so many other people calling him the villain, he probably believes it. (Note, talking about the character being called that by other characters.)
Transitioning to the animatic itself now that I've done my character analysis, I loved the moments you chose and the structure of the video. The pacing made it easy to understand what was going on and the dialogue choices were picked well. The song teared me up at the beginning when I recognized it and I did shed some tears. The expressions were wonderful and the poses backed them up well. Obviously, my two moments are at 2:03 and 4:47 as I mentioned them in my analysis above, but I also liked 2:30 with the cuts back to Sam's ties to others and later with Dream post 5:04. Not sure why I like that second bit so much, but it really drives home what Sam felt. Also, sad puppy at the end and I want to hug c!Sam.
Hahdgoushciabc yes exactly, I love Sam’s character so much
Thank you :’D
And thanks to you for making the animatic.
This is amazing. Sam’s backstory and trauma makes so much sense now. Thank you for bringing attention to the more minor characters. :) This makes Sam’s ending in the egg lore finale even sadder.
Of course! I love cSam is so fascinating!
“Warning: dreams face”
That got me cackling
From 5:01 to the end, literally gives me chills. Every. Time. I’ve come back to watch this at least once a day. I love both of these characters so much. The story makes me feel like I’m RIGHT THERE.
Glad you like it!
i cannot get over that frame at 5:24. it truly took my breath away C!sam looks so horrified as c!dream holds the power in their dynamic. this whole animatic is amazing
That whole moment was my favourite thing to draw it was so fun
Glad you liked it :D
BRUHHH i cryed T-T bc sam didn't want to be the villain he just wanted to be the hero....
Not even a hero, he just wanted to help his friends
@@Grimmijaggers oh yeah, oops-
YESSS AH THE ANTICIPATION I KNOW ITS GONNA BE GREAT, welcome back though Grimm, I hope you're having a wonderful day!
Hopefully you'll like it :D
@@Grimmijaggers I absolutely adored it, I expect nothing less than your great content, I love it
@@Grimmijaggers ALSO stop making me like Sam🤣🤣🤣
@@Grimmijaggers I LOVE THIS SONG, GREAT SONG
I’m legit watching this and I can’t stop crying. It’s beautiful how you show what C!Sam has been throughout the first season of the Smp. Thank you for this amazing animation and other animations that you created, I started getting into the Dsmp and into Sam’s character.
of course! I love cSam's character
This was so good but it also hurt so much emotionally, Great Job Grimmi, you did absolutely amazing /gen
I hope you have a great day/night and that you stay safe!!
Thank you so much! :D
@@Grimmijaggers Of course!!!
This is some amazing work. And The amount of stuff Sam had gone through is alot..and he is not a bad person that people sometimes think he is. He still try his best. Also the angst is very good.
Thank you so much!
Every Awesamdude animatic you make makes me fall even more in love with Sam's character. I'm a huge fan of complex characters (especially the ones with actions that are extremely hard to justify). Your love for his character shows in every animatic and I love the emotions you portray! Amazing work!
Thank you so much!
Sam saying, "They are CHildren" i- i cant explain the emotions i feel at that
That and what he wrote in Ranboos book- god- it hurts so freaking much and hits so deep-
heheheh
@@Grimmijaggers you have succeeded in the talent of "So this is how they need to feel- Will it work? Yes, yes it will"
I loved this! It showed so much emotion and it shows a good perspective of what Sam has done or went through. It shows how much he really cares for everybody, especially Tommy. This was beautiful and sad and I can’t wait for another great video! ^^
Thank you!
Me just casually going back and watching Sam angst before bed lol
I love how sams the only one who genuinely understands tommys mental state rn
Absolutely
Ahh! It’s so good! You did such a good job! I cried. All the characters have gone through so much, and it’s so sad 😞
Thank you so much :D
'releases air' that hit hard. It shows how much you understand this character specifically. In the one hand I got cills and my heart got rent but on the other hand I loved this to death. This is your best work yet. I love having seen your animator journey up to this point and so many of your high quality animations. The feels have always been so invoked by your works of art. This one defiantly hit the hardest though and fit the character the best. I'm saving this and I wish I could like this at minimum 50 times over. I'm saving and rewatching at least one other time. This was great. I'm not sure if you will ever be able to top this but if you do I'm here for it. This was amazing.
Avxvdvdiya thank you is much, that’s so sweet
Already know this is going to be *AMAZING*
hopefully!
Welp I have tears in my eyes. This was so beautifully made and so heartbreaking (and the song choice is PERFECT)
Thank you so much!
This is so incredibly beautiful the tears just kept rolling down my face, poor Sammy I wanna give c!Sam a big hug.
Thank you!
Not even kidding, literally sharking after watching that. Sam is by far my favorite character on the dsmp. Great work on the animatics
Thank you!
5:20 god I got chills. And the gore of sams face is butiful. Wow just wow. I luv how ur showing that Sam really isn’t a bad person and feels responsible for everything that’s happened and how sorry he is. I’m crying right now
Thank you :D
AYO- That whole thing was so emotionally charged, damn
And honestly if I hadn’t known, I would still see the love for Sam’s character shine through
I love him so much, aghsgsha
5:26
Omg, I didn’t realize this when I first watched it, I used to think it was going to be a cool shot of showing on one half of the screen Dream and the other Sam, but I just noticed that we are seeing through Sam’s, and he can’t see the other half due to his injured eye! That’s so clever
Ye ye :D
I’m glad you noticed!
Sam's character arc is so complex and I love it. You can see throughout the entire video, he was trying to do what he believed was the best thing to protect those he cared about. But he was so blinded by what he thought was right, he didn't see Dream's web of manipulation he had tangled himself up in until it was too late.
Gosh this was an amazing video! 😊👍
Thank you so much :D
this made me realised awesamdude’s canon character has gone through a lot.. he took the fall for tommy and got all the blame..
yup! And a lot of people don't know that, hence why I make this animatics
Wow, this is amazing!! To see Sam´s story summond up makes it impossible to see him just as "the bad guy" or "a super villain". His story is so complex like most of the background of the other characters. But especially Sam has a huge package to carry. 😢
Thank you!
He really does
This was aweSam work. Uhhh…. No pun intended
Pfffff
Thank you!
I’m not crying my eyes are cosplaying waterfalls because this is so amazing
Hehehehe thank you
I am blown away by this. I always saw sam as a bad guy or one of dream's puppets, but you showed me a different side of him that I never saw before. Well done, my friend.
hehe thank you :D
YOUR ANIMATICS ARE GETTING MORE HEARTBREAKING BY THE SECOND. PLS GET SAM TO SEE THIS, IT'S THE BEST THING I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE!!!
Thank you so much :’D
I’m sure he’ll see it when he has time!
this is beautiful. the version of the song used, the flashbacks... *chefs kiss*
Thank you so much!
I feel like C!Sam is the very embodiment of the phrase "I would destroy the world to keep my friends safe even if they see me as the bad guy"
he's the embodiment of many such phrases haha
C!Sam is such a scapegoat, it hurts !!
I was and still am so baffled that all the characters and so many people in the community blame him for Dream escaping, instead of the Syndicate who planned and made it happen !!
As much as I love the depressed creeper man, I wish he found closure and comfort too...
Amazing art as always !^^ And awesome analyse of the character as per usual♥
Thank you so much!
SO COOL MY FAVORITE OF YOURS!!!!
Thank you!
This is one of my favourite bits so I'm glad you animated this!!
Edit: I must say that this might be one of my favourite animations from you! Very well done and the music fits most wonderfully.
glad you like it :D
The animation and the song fits so well
Thanks!
The pain i felt when it said "from ever missing them" and showing all his freinds then it zooming in on ponk and saying "but I'm forever missing him" the utter pain i felt i swear- and to make it worse then it showed tommy- goddamnit why????
heheheheheh
sad
I’m so glad you added the music it this made me cry it is so emotional 😭
When I heard the song I was like, yes, I know what I need to do
I'm still new to this story, and I learn my information through animatics and art. Thank you for showing how much Sam has been through, and how much he cares for Tommy. I've never even heard most of this dialogue before. It's such a beautiful animatic, with such a beautiful song choice
Welcome to being a sam fan. Absolute torture 👍🏻
Ahhhh I’m so glad I could help introduce you to Sam’s character :D welcome to the a world of pain
HOLY SHIT DUUUUUUUDE AMAZING WORK! (As always)
Thank you! :D
Beautiful! and so sad..
Stumbled upon this by chance when I noticed that you’ve used my version of the song Youth. Thank you for attaching it to these beautiful story and art, and thank you everyone here for the kind words on my music ❤️
This really inspires me to release more videos even though it’s been a few years.. so see you soon :)
I’ll definitely dive in to more videos here to get to know the characters and background!
Thanks!
Aaaaah thank you so much! :’D
And thank you for your wonderful music, you have a lovely voice and I loved how you did the music. 💕
I'm not crying, I'm just watering my face TuT
Hehehhhehhe
@@Grimmijaggers Why do you make this so depressing :,)
Sam plays such a huge role in the server but everyone disregards Sam himself. It's always "what can
Sam do for me" " how can Sam benefit me" It's a terrible mindset. And then there's a clip. And I know it exist but I can't find the vid clip. Tommy and tubbo where talking as normal then tubbo asks "Tommy? How do you think sam is?" Tommy.y then responded with "WHY should I care tubbo?" And I mean CMON WHY?
*it's 1130 rn. I'm tired and crying*
Nah fr, Sam's character is so important to the story, but he just gets sidestepped by everyone for various reasons. :(
The part with ran turning into ghost boo was so sad then following with ghostbur. Great animatic once again!
Thank you!
This is so gooddd!!! It was the first video I'd seen on Sam's lore and I GET IT NOW lmao I feel so bad :( anyway great vid!!!
yayyyyy :D
I gave more on my channel if you'd like more context on him ^^
I am sobbing rn. This perfectly sums up the reasons why Sam became the person he is. Sam is one of my favorite characters because of how complex and emotionally deep he is.
Legit I love him so much!
This video is amazing but sad the same time
Thank you!
@@Grimmijaggers np
No cause this actually made me cry. It’s one thing seeing his slow descent into madness, but having it all laid out in five minutes really hits hard. As always you did an amazing job animating and portraying the characters
Thank you!
I'm crying, this is so good! you did absolutely amazing and the song just really added a mood to the whole animation. Once again, This is amazing and you do so well at what you make and i swear you outdo yourself every time. I hope you have a good day and keep up the good work.
Thank you so much :D
You got to love the complex character Sam it isn't just 'The Warden' this was an great and sad animation wow
Thank you!
This is *true artistry at its finest* In smallest terms. But this.. THIS WAS AMAZING! Before the premier, the chat was just preparing food and tissues and blankets, it was adorable! I mean, now, seeing this, how can people see poor ol’ Sam and still be so mean about him. The guy has been through so much and just wanted to do the right thing which in the end turned against him. And all the detail in this! Like Sam’s slightly-grayish blood, Dreams shorter hair, and the chains on Sam instead, I also love The Egg references! In my opinion, Sam is still a great person. He just needs a hug and a redemption arc. I also love the song used- Heard it before in another animatic and loved it. How can you do this Grimm THIS IS A CRIME IT IS A CRIME TO MAKE AN ANIMATIC THIS GOOD. HOW CAN YOU MAKE US CRY OVER DIS CREEPER MAN? AHHHHHH PURE AWESOMENESS! A that was… just amazing. I’m speechless. You have fed our hungry, animatic-wanting mouths yet again! A BANGER as usual from Grimmijaggers.
asnhsdjfbkgVcds,
thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS ONE YET. Holy s h i t that hurt so much in the best way to see. You really tied his whole character together SO WELL and I love this so so so much
Thank so much! I love this character a lot, so I'm glad you think so!
Grimm, I just- AAAAAAAA- poor Sammy- best boi- this whole thing LITERALLY gave me a new perspective of his character. I was never mad at him or thought he was in the wrong, (unlike some people that can't understand what fiction is,) but I never looked into him enough to have acfua,ly been able to see all of this everything that's been pushing him down. This is incredible as always Grimm ♡
ALSO, FOOLISH HELPED HIM SORTA FEEL BETTER- YEEEEEEEE-
heheh thank you so much :D
I knew you'd like Foolish
BRUH YOUR STORYTELLING THROUGH THE MUSIC AND THE AUDIO IS ALWAYS SO SPOT ON I've never seen anyone utilize audio clips as well as you, and your art always perfectly catches what's happening, I'm always so excited to see your stuff!!!
Thank you so much :D I spent 4 hours on the audio editing alone haha
@@Grimmijaggers It shows!!
honestly my oppinion sams the most tragic character of dream smp aside from ranboo,and tubbo,sam started out trying to help others and keep everyone happy,he then became slowly corrupted as he would stay in the prison most times,ruined his relationship with ponk the second he cut off ponks hand even tho he tried to help he still became what he swore to destroy,and when things got to bad he ended up killing ranboo which caused his demise and emprisonment and thus he was more suseptible to dreams control i hope tommy can reunite with sam
yeah it's super tragic
Nah bc the memories and emotions I have accosiated with thos song whyyy?! 😭 (/Lh /nm also most those emotions came from the warrior cats fandom, also nice video, though I did actually cry 🥲)
I cried. I actually cried. This is so fucking sad and awesam. Great work as always
Thank you!
This is emotional..He only just realises what he’s become.
Also you really managed the video well!The audio is like a teaser for a cool movie or smth!And the animation is beautiful, I love your art style.
Thanks haha!
The audio took an unbelievable amount of time to edit together XD
I do think it’s interesting how good of a person Sam was before the prison totally corrupted him. It’s unbelievable that he would go as far as killing Ranboo, after the lengths he went to try and be a good person, and help people.
It’s hard to tell because Sam wasn’t always a part of the main lore, but if this were a real animated show, this might be the saddest story on the server.
Because his story is so spread out throughout various POVs and rare sam lore streams, it's easy to miss how intense and tragic his story is, for sure.
Hence why I draw him so much, haha
“WARNING -DREAM’S FACE”
LMFAO I CANT
Hehehehe
Heee hands down my go to for Sam content. The beautiful synergy on this with both music choice and scene flow are on point as usual. Now to watch it over and over
Thank you so much!
I keep meaning to go back and screenshot my favorite images, but I can't see over all my tears.
pfffffff
THIS WAS SO GOOD, GRIMMI!
Thank you!
Once again, Grimmi makes me cry about roleplay characters
Great job as usual, I really love your designs! And also your artwork in general tbh
Heheh thank you!
Holy- I have goosebumps. This is so good! This definitely describes Sam's role as of right now in the Dream SMP. I love your art style too, and I can't wait to see more in the future!
Thank you so much!
-CRYING YOU A RIVER- AAAAAH--!
