"I remember when I realized she wasn't there"
That gave me chills.

[Kiato_]

I love the small detail that every time the main chorus happens, the main character slowly grows her hair. It really shows the slow progression and beauty of this animation.

[chanceofcain]

coming from someone who experiences memory loss, I can say that this really is what its like. Its not just forgetting certain things, its losing sight of who you are and those who you care about. Crumb be doin us justice with this animation

[hazyorange]

I think that the sudden French in the lyrics is a reference to people speaking in different languages after head trauma.

[LiQuid_FLurry]

What a horrible realization to find out the person you thought you loved wasn't even real in the first place.

[marz]

I think the heavy emphasis on her eyes was because it meant a lot to her when the doctor told her she had beautiful eyes. That’s why her whole face is darkened out except her eyes, and that’s why the song’s verses all begin with “Amnesia was her name, she had beautiful eyes.” That’s what she remembers.

This hits different. Before I was diagnosed with a rare and severe “type” of ADHD, I had intense brain fog, like it wasn’t possible to think but thinking is all you can do. There were days where I couldn’t remember who I was or where I was or how I got there. I couldn’t remember anything and it felt like i was losing myself. Stay strong my friends ❤

As the daughter of a woman with amnesia, I can say that this is really acurated. Amnesia is not just forgetting a couple of things, its sometimes waking up without having any idea of who you are or who the heck are those people that are in your house and tell you to take some pills that you don't know what they are for. This animation is really painful but real


By the way, an incredible job crumb! I will kill to animate this good

Edit: thanks for all the cute and supportive messages, actually my mom is much better than a year ago :DD (and yeah, i _will_ kill for animating that good lol)

[stickmanonastick]

For anyone wondering, the song is about someone with amnesia who fell in love with their doctor. They think her name is amnesia because it was mentioned so much when they were with her.
Edit: Apparently not; the creator said this was pretty much just personified amnesia (credit to RAAT)

[YonKaGor]

Whoa !!
I love the typography and I see how the speech bubbles barely has the words itself
Keep up the good work :D

[Ace_Editx]

3:39 this is scary because crumb NEVER uses the actual black and i was not expecting that 😭😭

[wellokthen]

The crumb lore is getting insane, it really seems like all the crumbs hate or have negative feelings towards each other, since more recent animations are from different crumb perspectives

[londonianlemon]

My dad told me once how art is projecting yourself through a creative medium. What you create is a look into your brain and how it works, and he was jealous of people's abilities to do that. I miss him, it was the most powerful thing he'd ever said to me.

This animatic makes me think of that every time I watch it.

[TheGrunch]

This is stunningly disturbing. It's so smooth yet so simple. And graphic in a wonderful way.

[Ouahe]

The French in the song translates to “It’s love and sure hurts”. That… kind of hits hard.

[Belinda]

one thing that leaves me unsettled it's the fact that the end of the song doesn't sound like an end at all. The rythm hasn't changed, and it's almost like that Amnesia had something else to say... perhaps she forgot. The music goes on as if it's waiting for some more lyric and then abruptly stops, as much as the Amnesia's stream of cosciousness since "she" disappeared after the surgery.
Perhaps there's nothing else to say since she disappeared, but the unchanged rythm of the music suggests a worrying sense of void, different from the previous sense of void. The void before the surgery it's a chaotic one, in which memories disappear and different versions of Amnesia coexist together, while the original one feels this void due to not knowing who she really is. The void after the surgery it's a quiet one. Amnesia is once again owner of herself, but something it's missing- it's not a memory, something in the past, it's something that it's costantly missing, a piece of her true self. It's a quiet void that will stay with her forever. It's not different than losing a dear one.

the typography in this video is being overlooked; it's _astounding_ ! Great work, Crumb :D

I think this animation was about an identity crisis and confusion about one’s self, because there were multiple things that made me think that. Like how in the beginning of the video there were multiple versions of herself. And there was a part where she was questioning “What is my name?” 1:50. There were also these parts that matched together like the beginning and the end of the video, 0:15 and 3:46. It’s the same scene with differences about how the beginning had all versions of herself standing there with a messy room while near the end, there was nothing left except for herself. Other scenes showed the other versions of her getting blacked out, her eating her own brain, looking through the mirror, etc. So, animation showed herself forgetting who she really was because of how she tangled herself into this mess by overthinking and mixing up who is who, and what is what. So, I guess the mortal of the story is to accept that who you are is who you are. Even if it’s a mess, it’s still you, mostly..? And don’t try to overthink about everything, keep it simple.

Edit: After I looked at the other videos that lead up to this, I noticed that the four videos “i hate you”, “crying”, “its alright”, and “pad thai”were all actually really similar to this. What they all had in common was identity crisis, self-hatred, and suppressed emotions.

In the first video “its alright”
It’s the first introduction to box crumb. We see these people surround box crumb and then there’s a door that opens and it shows another box crumb except she’s all black then she stabs the other normal box crumb. I’m guessing the black box crumb represent her feelings but also her real self which we are introduced to later on.
In conclusion, Box crumb in general represents the real version of her real life counter part except with suppressed emotions. Suppressing your emotions can in cause, exploded right in your face.

The next video “pad thai”
Is basically a follow up of its alright except the emotions start to hit harder. She starts feeling all of them all of a sudden because of pressing that tiny red button, and she wants to stop feeling them. So she tries her hardest to reach the other the red button so she can stop feeling her own feelings, so she can suppress them away. So, this basically represents the consequences of suppressing all of your feelings.

The third video, “i hate you”
Had three characters in it, tiny crumb, box crumb, and human crumb. This is the introduction of human crumb
We can see that human crumb used to be happier before before she became box crumb, I’m guessing the events after human crumb was happy, all of these negative thoughts and feelings came to her, so she created box crumb as herself to suppress her feelings. And tiny crumb is supposed to be the more happy version of all of the other versions to distract her from her other negative thoughts.
But after that scene, we see box crumb crying at human crumb as she starts ripping a picture of tiny crumb. Then box crumb starts ripping inside because it was too much for her as something under her box head seems to have a hundred eyes underneath. Maybe that’s human crumb but as of now, because human was so intoxicated by her own negative thoughts and feelings, that she started to change inside, and in a bad way.
After that, we can see box crumb and tiny crumb all torn into pieces, and then human crumb leaves into elevator.
I’m guessing why box crumb and tiny crumb got destroyed to pieces is because the negative emotions became so strong inside that it came to the point where it controlled box crumb to destroy tiny crumb too.

In the final video leading up to this one, “crying”
Shows us one last new version, which is crumb. I’m not really sure what this version is supposed to represent, I guess this version is concerned about the well being of all of the other versions and tries to help them, but she feels like nothing’s going upwards, and she starts breaking down.
The video basically has all four versions, human crumb, box crumb, crumb, and tiny crumb, this video seems to surround the idea about crumb and how she’s try to help all the other versions. She seems to have deep sympathy for box crumb as she hugs her, but box crumb disappears, But for tiny crumb on the other hand. Crumb feels off about tiny crumb, tiny crumb seems distorted a little because maybe the damage of suppressing all the negative feelings caused it to leak a little into tiny crumb, causing her to seem you know, a bit off..
But anyways, after box crumb fades away. Crumb misses box crumb. So she feels really concerned and she has a breakdown and shadows behind her flash all the other versions. In the silhouettes, Box crumb is fading, tiny crumb stands there with a off smile with no eyes, crumb is torn, and human crumb is seen in the last flash.

After seeing all the videos, I think each version represents something about human crumb herself.

Human crumb represents all versions combined. Box crumb, crumb, and tiny crumb.
She gets confused who crumb is who, and what is what. Also, box crumb and crumb feel like they aren’t doing enough for human crumb.

Box crumb represents human crumb’s suppressed dark emotions and feelings, these dark emotions and feelings can sometimes feel overwhelming so that’s why human crumb created box crumb. But if these emotions keep being suppressed, they’ll always explode in your face.

Crumb represents the concerning feeling about all the other versions well beings. She tries to help others like box crumb, but nothing’s working. She also tries to figure out who she is and why she’s like this, and she’s also concerned about what others might think of her like her fans.

Tiny crumb represent more of the happy aspects of human crumb, human crumb made tiny crumb because she wanted some happiness to distract herself from all of the other turmoil and messy negative feelings inside her head. But when the negativity becomes to much, some of it leaks into tiny crumb and tiny crumb starts to distort a bit. Which makes her seem a bit off..

And thank you so much if you read all of this, I kind of went over broad with this edit.. o-o

Something I've noticed around 2:38 is that the crumb thats slowly going insane hugging the one that is "insane" and that the sane Crumb has shorter hair, more of the eyes before (wider pupils), and more brightness to it. I think that she's hugging herself and that the "insane" one is Amnesia. It has most of the clues. Every single time I come here, a new thing or two I learn.
I sometime wanna make videos like this. Cute, doodle, weird, .. Deep. It's so fascinating to me on how they're able to do this. How you can make something so cute into something so... Dark.. It's sad in a way, almost like I feel sympathy for a fictional character, that means this is very well made, thank you.
