I remember you animation

Song sang by Emily Youcis

It’s interesting to me, how trauma causes sleepless nights and paranoia.
Like a bruise in your mind that haunts you. You’ll never forget, you’ll always remember.
I wanted to illustrate this.

I hate that nothing ever captures what it was like. This does. Haunting and also made me cry 10/10

I have a friend of mine I consider to be like a younger sister. She went through an SA when she was a teen and she's been really open to me about how it affected her. One thing that she said that gave me chills is how sometimes while she showers, she sometimes feels like the man who abused her is in there with her.

That brief scene in the shower really captures what she talked about.

[skree]

I am a guy who was assaulted... I used to never talk about it, honestly i still kinda cant due to how people view me as 'lucky' or something...

[kidneyse]

its weird, because the moment never leaves you. I remember it so vividly

[howlsthewolf]

I have repressed memories, the unclear messy image of the person hits so hard. Feelings, paranoia and the trauma lingers even without the memory of their face

🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂 get hugged y'all

I wasn't specifically sexually abused, but damn does it still hit home. Especially the end. "I just wanted sleep". Everytime I felt bad because of people being awful, I just wanted some fun. Or food. Or anything, really. Abuse happens arbitrarily, contrary to what abusers will make you think. You were simply a human being, while they forced their will onto you.

I love the style of each line being frantic, like it was drawn in a panic. Really captures the weight of the subject.
Love this animation a lot! I hope you continue :D

[halraen]

this was so discomforting because it felt exactly like this for me. its been roughly 8 years since the first time i was SAed but some days i cant go to bed because of it. fans especially make me feel awful -- i once had a panic attack because the fan in my room was too loud and was hitting me in all the wrong ways. i could swear i could feel hands on me, or that someone was watching me.

its been 8 years but i was a child. i may not remember his name or what he looks like, but i still remember how scared i was.

[bluefoolish]

I hope you're doing better now... As a teen, I can't even imagine how horrible trauma may be to the poor victims of SA. Just wish I could explode all the abusers before they'd done any harm to anyone.
It was very brave of you to illustrate this animation! By reading the comments, I'm sure you lended a helping hand to other people who'd gone through similar experiences. I wish you all the best of love ❤

This random animatic really made me remember my first experience at loving someone romantically. My ex was the thick-headed type of person who took far too long to realize his mistakes and after we broke up, the damage was already done. For what seemed like an eternity, I would constantly think about him and what he did to me and what I could've done to change things, to change him, to change us and it haunted me for a while. I couldn't get the thought of his hands touching me, lying to me saying "I love you", and it felt so sickening to remember each time that I couldn't function as well as before I met him and it broke me. It took me almost an entire year to finally feel a resemblance to being okay again with the relationships I have with people and sometimes, I still remember him. I still remember you.

Emily Youcis is such a great singer

if only...

[danielasanmartin]

That's the thing about trauma...it NEVER leaves, it's ALWAYS there...and maybe you'll remember it from time to time...however at some point you can cope with it and if you get over it one day, you'll stop fearing it and you'll stop having nightmares so often. Even if it's hard, life has to continue right? We can't let trauma get over our life ❤
Good animation btw ^^👏👏👏✨️✨️✨️

[OfficialAshePenndale]

0:48 this moment actually made me feel sick to my stomach. I wish everyone who relates to this the best and hope they can recover from such a fucked up thing.

[rottinblud]

Thank you for this animation. I remember being subjected to this by the closest person in my life... Please never give up. The memories may not go away, but if there are good people around you, please live for them. I really want to hug you, because it is very easy to break a person, but only a few can get back on their feet and move on 🙏

[RDZombie]

wow using emily youcis makes this even more heavier dude

[wecontrolyourinsanity]

Now this is a subject into the sexual assault that happens a lot more. The memory of the bad times and being taken advantage of, they learn better but they never forget. In which this represents and that's to be remembered by.

"To comfort the disturbed and to disturb the comforted".

Okay this is insane bc i associate this song so heavily with my CSA experience. My abuser often played older music around the house, and Frank Ifield's version of this song was one of them (one i can remember vividly). Hearing the Emily's version just makes me so sad knowing what she endured, and with how much creative potential she had. But anyways, this was so well done. The shower scene really captured the skin-crawling feeling I get so well. I just really resonated with this in so many ways. I hope you're doing okay<3

[sawtist]

i only have hazy memories of those moments but i remember how i felt right after so well

[asjdhuiwadh]

Even if I had never experienced SA ever in my life (thank goodness for that, and also wishing the best for any SA victim out there), i always get the weird, but pretty strong feeling of deja vu whenever i watch videos like these, especially being about a really sensitive topic such as this. I think that’s how good this animatic really is. You portrayed how trauma works really well. It’s like a scar in your mind, that while yes, can heal as time goes on and you learn how to move on from it (or in some cases, trying to hide it from being seen by others), it never truly goes away. I hope you’re doing better now. (again, wishing the best for any victims who have experienced something like this)

The ghost of their hands still on your body.
The trying to scrub it away but it stays.
That feeling of never truly being clean again.
