Monika Can't Help Falling in Love with You (Animatic)

"Emily, I thought you said you weren't gonna make any more DDLC videos"
WELL......OR3O came out with this beautiful cover on Valentines Day and I simply could not ignore the spark of inspiration that ignited within me, so....AGH! This took me about 3 days to complete from start to finish!
Big thank you to OR3O for granting me permission to use her cover!

Also big thank you to Moonshine for helping me edit this animatic!! (This video would honestly look like garbage if not for his magic touch)

*I never deleted Monika*
I never intend to finish the game.
She will forever be in my computer's hard drive.

It’s so sad how she never got an ending in the game so she had to make one herself

[janeesco]

Monika is one of the saddest "villain" stories, she just has to watch while the person she loves, leaves her, and when she smiles at the end she understands they will never love her, it breaks my heart.

The beauty of Doki Doki Literature Club is that you can never give a straight answer to the question “Who is the villain?” Monika has done quite a lot wrong to the characters in the story. But she has feelings. And even allows you to have the game back once you delete her. She wants you happy. So the question is. Does that make her a villain? Or a lover?

[loom.mp]

Monika is the most understandable “villain” character ever. She had to watch her love get taken away from her as she was meant to do nothing, and in the end have her true love get rid of her. It’s truly sad

[smuj]

This makes me wish there was a Monika route...

[amli]

Person: so, monika is evil, right?


Me: *Yesn't*

[angelic_goddess]

I understand why Monika did what she did and here’s why (SMALL SPOILERS FOR DDLC PLUS) Monika thought that she was alive and had actually started a club and making new friends who she became close with and they helped her with stuff and she helped them. They told her their problems and how they feel and she was happy with the friends she had. But then when MC comes she realizes that her friends aren’t real and everything they said to her, her close friendships, it was all just a code and that they’re not real, but she isn’t either. Imagine living your life and having amazing friends you’re really close to just to realize they’re not real and even you’re not and everything is just coded. You can imagine the pain Monika had to go through to realize this. So she went for the only real thing; the player. She still cared about her friends but she knew they weren’t real so what was the point? They can’t be real to have feelings, not even herself. So she kills them to be with the only real thing she can get. Just to be deleted by the player, Monika is still kinda there and gives the other characters back to the player because she still cares for her friends and they deserve to be happy, without her. It doesn’t go as planned with Sayori so she realizes there’s nothing she can do to save her club, so she deletes everyone and everything. Monika is a well written character and I understand why she did it.

This makes me feel for Monika in a way I haven't before... when I saw her get deleted I actually felt genuine sadness... poor girl

[hopelesshaddy]

My heart just breaks when she sadly smiles and she is about to get deleted and when it says deleted successfully :, (
Edit: Wtf I don't deserve this many likes for saying something like this lmao

[WellOkaythen.]

Or3o's singing with your art? *PERFECTION*

[Mpjph]

this legitimately made me cry, because I really feel for Monika when the mc runs away. I'm just like, "all she wanted was a lover that noticed her, and when it was just them 2 together, the mc ran away"

[FruitJuice]

I’m with my family hiding the fact I watch this and it took literally everything I had to not cry. We love monika

[jfjfjfjfjfjfjfj]

But monika is in love with the character, No like the other girls, she realizes she’s trapped in a game and just fall in love with you

[blocko]

*Finally, at least someone made an animation where Monika is not evil, and you can sympathize with her.*

[gagebrock]

The saddest part of it all is how at the end she smiles knowing that she understands that it's you doing it and she's okay with that

[lazyfoxnia]

Funny thing is the MC actually had a crush on Monika but thought he was below her level so just brushed it off.

[yeehaw]

I LOVED HOW YOU USED THE RED STRING OF AAAH ALSO THE END GOT ME IM CRYING

[hrofhyrule]

If only Monika knew of the massive amount of people online who would love and support her…

[theguy]

Monika: *shows her side of the story
Everyone: perhaps I treated you too harshly

BTW this still hit hard even until now
