I LOVE RATTICUS’S EARSSS AHHH AND WHEN HE SWINGS HIS LEGS OFF THE CHAIR THE ANIMATION IS SO GOOD
the little zoom ins, the color palette, the jazzy music to create a calming atmosphere, the timing for the dialogue appearing on screen. ahh I absolutely love this!
The shudder on the word kill as it came out. Insane emotional quality without any voice acting to speak of
I love how the therapist isn't wearing a tie anymore.
good detail with context of the last video in mind!
The last 40 seconds is everything to me. The uncomfortable silence, Ratticus' sudden confession over what should be a comforting thought. The drop of Zodiac's facade and the camera cut to the coffee stain: the prior chaos that alludes Ratticus' worry. His lack of authenticity from the start is so well realized. I'm very glad this is getting you some well-deserved viewership.
its terrifying how the music stops, the expressions, the emotions, the writing. I g e t all of it- like I really get it, the whole thing is gorgeous to watch- thanks for gifting the internet with this piece of art, i dont think it will be soon forgotten (at least by me
As someone with pretty bad intrusive thoughts, I can relate to the vibe a lot.
Had to start practicing 'word dump' journaling when mine get really bad. Just really pour out words as fast as possible onto a page, force myself to confront the thoughts. A lot of them turn out to be mostly rooted in a fear that I could be the kind of person that those thoughts paint the picture of, and then I remember that I make the choice of what I do and how I treat the people around me. The thoughts don't make that choice.
Some thoughts help me recognize emotions I didn't know I was feeling. Sometimes it's hard to 'feel' emotions or know what they are, and finding where an intrusive thought is rooted helps me figure those out. Whether it be anxiety, attraction, frustration, etc.
And some are just stupid, silly, and weird. Bit like anxious or nervous energy.
Everyone's intrusive thoughts can act differently. But the visibility of modern mental conditions and hurdles has helped raise my personal acceptance. "Yeah I have weird thoughts. That's not an alien thing, it happens. And, just because I have those thoughts, doesn't make me that kind of person."
Fr, sometimes i'm like "WHAT THE HELL BRAIN"
Hey I would like to ask you something. How do you as a person with genuine intrusive thoughts feel about how people us the term so loosely online?
Such a lovely sentiment, I couldn’t word it better myself. As someone that usually fails to recognize how I’m feeling, my intrusive thoughts just became a good marker that let me know I have some anxiety going on (after a couple years of the dreaded intrusive spirals first lol). It’s a discipline for emotion you have to learn. For me, through a LOT of trial and error. A good thing to remember is that our silly monkey brains struggle to grasp the wording, “DON’T do this,” versus the more direct, easier to digest, “do this.” It’s why it’s better to say to someone “remember your phone!” instead of “don’t forget your phone!” So any time we’re hit with the thought that “hey, this would be bad if that happened, DON’T let this happen and don’t do this,” it usually just simplifies to “this thing. HAPPEN? DO?” I sometimes need to clarify the thought by thinking out the sentence entirely like “Yeah, that would be bad if that happened, got it brain.”
but anyway, my personal answer to the person above asking how it feels that common slang picked up intrusive thoughts (I’m sorry I’m writing on my phone and I can’t check your username without what I’ve written getting yeeted!), I would say the only thing that bothers me is that it’s usually impulsive thoughts people are referring to instead of intrusive so it’s just incorrect from the start lol. The main difference being the reaction of the person having the thought; intrusive means unwanted, it stems from taboo or deep fears and it’s never something you would want. It’s a hard-to-face possibility you keep mentally exploring so as to keep yourself in “check,” over and over until you’re run ragged. A silly abstract that’s hard to grasp because it’s usually so out there. In colloquial use people use it for like shopping impulses or stuff to do in a video game that people say they let “win over.” But there is no winning over, in intrusive thinking, because the thoughts will never win. Because you care so much to make something happen or not which speaks to your true nature, that you are the opposite of the thoughts.
Obviously popular misuse leads to a lot of misunderstanding when someone mentions actual intrusive thoughts-since intrusive thoughts are typically the thing you worst fear ever taking place, the thing that tears you apart the most just thinking of, the worst thing that someone else can do is accuse you of being a bad person for thinking those thoughts as if they’re actually what you want to do. (Which isn’t the case of course. It’s something you desperately tell yourself to not allow happen.) And I’ve seen people judge someone for admitting the actual thoughts they have, which is absurd lol. With the patterns of mine, I would absolutely crumble if someone said those were my intentions. They’re your opposite intentions, people! There is zero chance of intrusive thoughts “winning.”
tldr; us intrusive thoughts havers are cowards we would never be capable of carrying them out LMAOO
I also wanna clarify that intrusive thoughts aren’t just about do or don’t do, but also observations that you don’t agree with either. I don’t wanna list many examples since I know it can suck to read it if that’s your Intrusive Brand™️ but to keep it vague, thinking offensive things about people’s appearance, etc. and the more you care the more it bothers you. Anyway, humor is the right way to go for the absurdity we put ourselves through! Laugh at your silliness! There are actual bad people out there being actual bad! If you’re worried about a thing you thought about someone the other day, do I have news for you!
It can be hard to accept that you should treat such heavy topics lightly, but you don’t need to keep yourself in a state of constant fear. Leave the next “what-if” statement behind. Think instead about the next manga you wanna read or something. That next art project you wanna tackle. Seeing your friends later. It’s all good my dudes. Also sorry for the essays I was an english major it’s in my very bones
@@raymickens440 I've not ran into the term being used loosely all that much, but I can do my best to explain my point of view on the two ways I could see the "misuse" occurring.
Wrong defiinition. There are a lot of situations where people can use words thinking they mean one thing when they actually mean another. If that happens to someone you're communicating with, it's a matter of clarifying, explaining the situation you're using the word for. This can be annoying and frustrating when handling a word around a topic that is very sensitive, but it can happen with any word. it's just how different communication circles and cultures work. Language isn't solid, it's a slow tug of war with a piece of brittle putty.
"Misuse" that isn't really misuse. Some people have intrusive thoughts pretty bad (like me). Some have them even worse, most have them just a little. And they can be associated with different mental disorders. Mine in particular is very strongly tied to my OCD. Mental disorder labels are sometimes attributed to patterns of thought or act that are more common than the disorder. You can have OCD or ADHD tendencies without having the disorder. I've heard a therapist (I believe it was Jonathan Decker from cinema therapy) describe it as, "it becomes a disorder when it starts to interfere with day to day life." Just because someone's intrusive thoughts don't interfere with their daily life (or interfere as much), doesn't take away from the impact those thoughts do have. One's need for validation and support with a problem does not invalidate the need of someone else with a less intense version of that problem.
A lot of people have intrusive thoughts. Sometimes just once in a blue moon, they'll hear something while they're in traffic or next to a cliff or something. They happen. Gatekeeping the term intrusive thought wouldn't be protecting the validation of people who cope with them day to day. It'd just be denying a point of possible empathy and understanding between people with a disorder and those without.
Holy shit this is amazing, both part one and two. The way it's played out, the way the therapist just sits there patiently while the Ratticus starts getting fidgety. The way it becomes clear that Ratticus actually *does* want to talk about what's bothering them underneath the crude exterior. I have fallen in love with both of these characters. Also it starts out with such a strong hook in both videos!!! Spilling the coffee in the first episode, escalating to flipping the table. And the way he puts the table back, partially out of guilt, to try and get the therapist to talk to him again. And it's so clear the therapist does not care about the coffee table or rug, but it's so satisfying to see them make progress in that moment. Wow, this is incredible.
GOD AND THE TWIST OF HIM WANTING TO KILL HIS MOM, AND THAT BEING THE INITIAL STARTING POINT OF WHY HE FLIPPED THE TABLE. DAMN. THIS IS SO GOOD.
i forgot about this series for almost a year and its still amazing when i come back. omg
I am so unbeliavavly happy this was reccomended to me. It geels so natural, despite the unconventional way Zo starts the interaction. The artsyle is so lovely to look at, and the characters feel so alive, like I can see them enjoying little things, having depth, etc. etc. This is beautiful.
This reminds me of MAUS, the art style in the beginning really captured my attention. The choice of audible dialogue being replaced by the ambling musical score helped me understand the tempo of the conversation better and the feeling behind some of the words being said. Of course, who can ignore those expressive ears, or the tone of the music itself changing to highs or lows for different tones or inflections for certain words. This is a wonderful thing you’ve made, I like it.
Maus! That's what I was thinking of too
This dynamic is soo freaking good.
Especially with the part of:
“You tricked me”, and “I listened to you”
Which was just, gosh….
I am obsessed with your timing. Everything is immaculately paced even without dialogue. And the MANNERISM!!! How you're able to portray everything about a character physically is INCREDIBLE.
THIS IS SO GOOD WELCOME BACK BEETLERAT!!!!
Agh omg Ratticus's fur and ears are so expressive XD IT'S ADORABLE
My therapist agreed with me that people who would rather never be seen at all instead of only being seen in being looked down on are fools
come again?
the whole premise of this is so great and the little details like therapist's eyebrows and ratticus's body language is so awesome!!!!!!!!! loved every bit of that
I've watched full, high budget movies that had less than a fraction of the depth, beauty and emotion that this has, not to mention the incredible animation! I would watch this a million times over just to appreciate the sound design, you have done a truly incredible job.
3:57 I LOVE THE LIL TURN AROUND ANIMATION OMG
I absolutely everything about this all the way down to the little details.
Lately I've been really on the fence to becoming a therapist. During my school years I had therapy, but they weren't very good therapists, sorta like Ratticus was expecting. Asking standardized questions instead of paying attention to the individual in front of them. Then prescribing depression/anxiety meds which numbed emotions (and one of them basically removed all emotions except boredom). Meanwhile, they didn't ask anything that really made me understand my emotions. Tempted to go to college but it's incredibly expensive, and I would worry that I might go to a college that'd be like that.
Now I've been looking at significantly more stuff about psychology lately. In my time of having lots of deep conversations with some friends trying to help them sort through things, it feels nice to see that some of the things that I started to naturally do is something that more modern therapists start to do. Quite a few of those things are in some of the nuances in this video and I love it = )
'course, I definitely have a long journey if I do go that to be a therapist. Learning I still got some weak spots that might get in the way of helping people when they get emotional. Also, would like to avoid people getting the feeling like they are a lab rat, since like in this video it amuses me to no end seeing different types of people and what they do/say when they are put into a room of little to nothing in it. Everyone is so busy nowadays, so it's not too uncommon that people get some time to sit with their thoughts and process them.
... Also, I do love to ramble, and there's a something to be said of knowing how to be concise, as to not overwhelm people with words, especially if they are having strong emotions. That said, my comments often are just me kind of venting any sort of thought before I talk to people about it, so while I'm attempting to restrain myself from gushing about everything I love about this video, you can probably already tell it's already kind of long because it reminded me of a lot of things and triggered some very good emotions :3
Again, I cannot say enough how much this video made me day when I woke up today
Oh god, Ratticus trying to clean things up and then freaking out because the doc isn’t talking about it.
I totally get it. You expect to be screamed at or hit and if you’re not being yelled at, it’s because you’re being ignored as punishment, but they silently hate even looking at you.
Like assuming like the doc either doesn’t care about you or is silently angry at you, and is just leaving you to choke on the suspense. D:
And to realize that the doc isn’t mad, is just trying to leave the floor open so Ratticus doesn’t feel cornered or forced to talk, and they could honestly just chill quietly if that’s what Ratticus wanted.
This made me very thankful that I had an excellent therapist during my time of need. I sent a letter to him telling how despite my challenges that my life is wonderful now.
Therapy works people!! If you have a problem, Keep trying to find that one guy who makes a difference for you!!
7:11 to the end, with all those little hints in the hands and the facial expressions that Ratticus has throughout the build up to 7:38, is already like masterfully put together, but in that moment where the music abruptly completely stops, with a simple piano chord left to ring out and effectively snap us to a completely different mood, that was incredible, and then you did it again but with the sudden shift to outside, with Ratticus getting into the car with his mother. Truly amazing.
This was weirdly captivating. I love the slow burn and adorable animation style.
Wow. This feels so real. Like I could rave about the style, the movement, the sound design, but the writing is really on such another level. The therapy that has worked for me often looks like this, and to see it reflected back is really cool.
THIS WAS SO WELL DONE! there's so much to love about this and while I hate waiting: I'm 200% down to wait for the next update.
I love how the whiskers are drawn. The whole style is very charming ❤
God, that twist was actually amazing. I actually got stunned in silence. That sudden change with the music cutting and the subtle body movements in Zo turning into a subtle surprise. The piano making a final, almost abrupt ding to change into nothing but the humming sound of lights... It's absolutely incredible. You put a lot of effort into this and, I can't wait to see what other things that are stewing in your mind. I really do hope this series gets a lot of positive attention.
Doctor Zo's glasses and how they inherit lines from the couch is so interesting to me
the animation is beautifully done
the music is so fitting and the jazzy bits that go with the story beats feel great
the sound design is fantastic
and the story has me constantly asking questions
Fantastic piece of art.
Really like how this has got cozy vibes and dark themes at the same time. Like, the atmosphere is just really good.
Not only is the dialogue and animation stellar, but the music fits the action so perfectly! Such a wonderful series
No voice acting fits the scene perfectly, reading the interesting dialogue and hearing the ambient music in the background creates such a great effect of patience and focus
This has quickly become my favorite animations to watch on TH-cam. Seriously, not only is the cinematography well thought out, the music wonderful, and the dialogue great, but the comedic timing and characters are just so gosh diddly dang perfect. I frickin love this.
Whoa. The writing, the body language, the cliffhanger! Truly amazing work!
The movements are so fluid, the expressions are so natural and subtle, this animations is top tier and I can't wait to see more
It's so fascinating the psychological side of this. How the lack of information input to Atticus' brain made him revert his actions even though the doctor didn't even say anything
Incredible. I'm so glad to have stumbled across this this morning, and it was a treat to go back and watch all of your other videos.
I'm changing careers. And I've decided to go back to school to study psychology in the hopes of becoming a therapist, so this video seems somewhat pertinent lol. I just want to help people the way therapy has been able to help me. I've always dealt with pretty incredible insecurity and often still do. That being said, I guess you probably dont care too much what these words are saying from a stranger you've never met, but that's one of the beautiful things about the internet I suppose.
Anyway, I guess I just wanted to say thank you for creating such an amazing work of art. And I sincerely hope that the TH-cam algorithm pushes your work out to more people. You really deserve it.
Your work is fantastic, thank you for making this.
happy to see you back!
You are not afraid to sit and rest with the pacing, and that makes this wonderful! The subtleties are so important!
Woah this is amazing! Hope to see more soon
oh this is wonderful ! i love all the emotion you included in their small movements
design, animation, writing, you did it all so well! good job on this I really really love it!
This meant a lot. Thank you.
I love this, it's so thoughtful and creative. Also I love the little air whiskers
I love this. Made me chuckle AND tear up in less than ten minutes. I don't see many animations that can do that
This randomly popped up in my recommended. I normally don't get so hooked when something like this comes on but you've done it! Amazingly animated and very cute designs, also funny :D Nice job. Keep up the good work!
Yeeessss I've waited for this and it's awesome! ^^
I love this series sm. And the last part really stuck in my mind. I'm curious and excited to see what'll happen next.
Stunning animation. Can't wait for the next session.
This is stunning. Everything about it is so good! Writing, animation, character design, the MUSIC, man I don't know what I was expecting but this blew me away. Really looking forward to seeing what else you make in the future!
Have watched this in tiktok already, and what i wanna say this is awesome. so mindful you have managed this two characters, their interactions, emotions, plot twists. This is really worthful.
that was awesome, loved everything
i love the attention to the intent and detail of both characters i look forward to seeing the next one if there is a next one :)
I enjoy this so much! Amazing content, best wishes to you and your future projects! 🌻
This was such a wonderful art piece! You had such amazing attention to detail!
i recognize the art style, i read the channel name, and i can feel the sins crawling on my back
I thought I was the only one 😭
same here. guilty AF XD
I was so confused, and I had to search it up.
I’m glad that this is my first time seeing this animator, and not anywhere else.
AHA, I KNEW I RECOGNIZED THESE GUYS
@@tri_iris6890what is it? I’m lost😓
I really like the animation and artstyle so much. Looks as if it was cream and strawberry flavor with a smooth texture and i love it
This was unbelievably cohesive and beautiful. My god the quality was exceptional through and through the entire video. I hope you’re doing alright
The animation is so smooth and I want to see more! Take your time though, don't rush.
ohh my gosh the way you utilize body language so expressively is amazing and i love your timing too?? like the pause when ratticus asks why the room is so empty ... this is very skillfully done !!! *oh and the sound design
gosh, I love this. You've done a very wonderful job, definitely signing up for your Patreon if it means more Theratpy sessions :3
LOVE THIS SM AHHH
I hadn't seen the first of this serious but just everything shown here feels heavily contextual, much like small motions and nuances of regular people will usually have.
I like this.
this is genuinely absolutely gorgeous. I am sending you all the love and well wishes for your success !! keep up the amazing work with the animations
This was beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing, and for being vulnerable. The characterisation was impeccable.
Oh my god this is exactly how my last therapist acted. I love the animation
this was a wonderful little ep. great writing and characters approaches for just a little 8 min video. your animation is also really cool and unique. plz keep up the good work!
THAT WAS AMAZING!!!
This series is just so damn brilliant. I love it
Haven't seen the first part (but i'll do that soon) but this was delightful to watch, I love the designs and style used for this! Very expressive and an interesting dynamic between the two.
The quality of the animation has improved so much from episode 1, lovely work
I completely forgot about this series! I was anticipating it back when I was on TikTok, and I’m glad to have found it again :)
This is incredible.
I love this. You do an excellent job at capturing the subtle movements of your characters in a way that communicates their emotions. Very “show don’t tell”. Which makes the moments when Ratticus *does* tell the doctor something all the more impactful. The jazzy music and pastel color palette keep things overall light even as it deals with heavy subject matter. This is a great show, and I can’t wait to see where it goes next!
This is quite the piece of art. Very well made. The character writing was very well done. And the animation was just gorgeous. Got a subscriber out of me
this feels really heartfelt and honestly made me smile a lot @,@
Wow this was very interesting and cool. You kept my attention and grabbed it in your hand and strangled it because i watched this WHOLE THING!
OMG I LOVE VISUAL-NOVEL TYPE TALKING IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN IT I LOVE IT
this was beautifully done, entertaining all the way through. i was afraid it was going to be short because it was only 8 minutes long but it felt like a feature film.
This. This right here. This is a masterpiece.
Liking, commenting, subbing, and sharing it to my friends because yes, I need more of this in my life. Especially now. Thank you.
I love this so much!!
Why is this not getting millions of views, the animation, and style is amazing, not to mention the jazz, and as other comments this is simply amazing.
Keep up the good work. 👍
Everything abt your animations are just gud and I cannot stop smiling :']
I'm sorry I love this style, the way it's animated, the motions, the colours, the choice of music, the whiskers, the ears, the eyes, the way the glasses are made, the end-... THE EVERYTHING ❤❤❤❤
OMG the music is so good in this!!!! It feels so cohesive with the visuals and dialogue, and works really well with it!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!
love this, please keep up the good work! :) Really digging the characters design similar to the MAUS graphic novel!
I love this series so much
This deserves more recognition.
I’m glad this came to me on my suggestions! I love this series so far. Everything about it leaves me wanting more. Wish I could do more to support this project!💜🐀 it’s great to see some ratty love :)
Oh wow, this....
This is stunning
I've been to many therapists and a few were just this good. They act in ways that always are edge cases for your habits, but never act against you or act as if they doubt what you tell them. They simply observe, learn about you. And slowly decipher the tiniest little movements you do.
This hits home
The accompanying music fits so well
this was amazing
Incredible sound design
I like this! Talking can help learn a lot about a person but silence and giving the person space to act by themselves really shows their mentality and the feelings they have associated with silence.
This was excellent
Thanks for a real life lesson. Heres to hoping that i remember it forever...
this is the best piece of media ive consumed all year
Hoping there's a session 3! Wonderful expression and art!
wow, really nice video man, for me it just hit close home, i had some anger issues and anxiety from past occurrences on my life, made me somewhat question myself cause i saw what i was on the white-rat-fella, it's really refreshing too having a change on my content to something more relaxing too, to just sweep those things back in place in my empty office, to have someone feel comfortable around me, to someone call me a friend... really lovely content
This is wonderful animation
This a amazing work of art. I particularly relate to Ratticus' impulse to fidget and scratch himself when he is really nervous
