Passerine | Smellerbee Animatic [ATLA]

I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about the Freedom Fighters, but Smellerbee especially is very dear to me. This video is pretty much just a big fat headcanon about how I think she felt upon realizing Jet, whom she idolized as a leader, was just as fallible as the rest of them, and how she might have felt guilty about the part she played in blindly encouraging him.
I won't overload this summary with meta or anything though-just enough to give y'all some context for what's going on. I call this an "animatic", but I know that's a generous description considering how little actual animation is implied in this lol.

I saw this and my first thought was that I’m not emotionally prepared for a smellerbee animatic. And I was right.

[@jules8025]

me, who has no clue who any of these people are: ah yes, quality content catered directly to my taste in media.

[@annie-bs4ly]

just as context they are all from Avatar The Last Airbender

I was actually waiting for something Smellerbee related to appear on this channel.

[@rqzzlldqzzls]

Considering how memed upon smellerbee was, this wasnt expected but i guess its time to watch some smellerbee compilations

[@jinorism]

HOLY SMOKES? i came here from you AMAZING arcane critique videos, the only ones i 100% agree with, just to find an animatic with one of my favorite songs with one of my favorite characters. ur so cool

[@rayne2514]

aaaa smellerbee was always my number one favorite freedom fighter so I love to see content like this for her! This is amazing!

[@iloveavatar2323]

Same 🙂😇

[@loopdee1922]

This is so incredible!! You have made a wonderful animatic, and the song actually fits! I love Smellerbee, and I wish there was more content for her and the other freedom fighters. I may or may not have teared up.

[@iloveavatar2323]

I love her soo much I have as a gotcha life charter 😁😁

[@lavenderhaze...]

Absolutely devestating and beautiful. I love smellerbee and your animation is a joy to get to watch. Thank you so much for creating this!

[@renscott3899]

the smellerbee brain really got to you

[@aghw3915]

Absolutely love this video i cried 😭 i love how u interpreted the missing parts of smellerbee discovered frozen jet and her belief of jet being infallible started cracking...the guilt of her couldnt stop jet from (even that feeling of she was pushing jet to) his own demise and the way she kept revisiting those memories just makes me so 😢😢especially with the vibe of the song and the lyrics matched so well😢thank u so much for this wonderful work (sending much love*

[@vistarya]

You really described everything I hoped people would experience watching this! Thank you! 🥰

[@rootru6631]

Yo I actually am so shocked when I see The Oh Hellos songs being used for animatics when it isn't Soldier, Poet, King. I love this!

[@darearms9790]

Your drawing skills and compositions are amazing!!! And I love the song choice, thanks for presenting a new song

[@vistarya]

[@blackcatinthebackground3598]

This actually just inspired me to continue working on the fan fiction I'm writing where Smellerbee is the main character
