I AM CONSUMING THE ANIMATION WITH MY EYES AND IT SAYS TASTY 👁👁

my eyes are blessed today thank you so much zem

[rotting_spider]

I made a timeline based on some of my theories on this:
1. The monster stalks the children, recording them, taking notes on them and their information, taking pictures of them, etc (0:43/0:38). The monster had kidnapped multiple children already. Note that the moment when Mimi and Mok weren't wearing the same outfit as many of the other children in the paintings at 0:30 was on their missing posters(0:46), meaning that every moment where they did wear this "uniform" they had likely already interacted with the monster or were about to interact with it.
2. The monster kidnapped the children, grooming them into seeing it and the situation they were in as some sort of normal situation. This is shown by their lack of any distress at (0:30/0:32)/(0:43) and how they drew themselves holding hands with the monster at 0:27, proving how close they were to it and their comfort with this criminal. They were also extremely comfortable with the cannibalism they committed(0:07/0:13)/(0:18) which also signifies how they were being mentally manipulated. It's also quite likely the monster used them as assistants, shown by how, in the next section, Mimi is quite experienced in killing even people who are stronger than him.
3. Mok was killed by the monster, leading to Mimi killing the monster and escaping (0:46). This is shown by a combination of small hints: at 0:13 Mimi sings, by themselves, signifying how he is the one telling the story. This particularly shows Mok's death due to how Mimi and Mok were always with each other but weren't together at that moment. There's also the fact that, although they always held hands in the paintings, they didn't hold each other's hands in person (which could mean that they weren't able to due to how Mok was killed). There's also the fact that, although there are many cut-up versions of both Mok and Mimi, there were more of Mok (though it could be argued that this is a stretch). For how Mimi murdered the monster, it's simple. Chloroform was shown right after the monster's body was stuffed inside the dark room. This signifies that Mimi first knocked out the monster with chloroform then cut it up with the bloodied weapon at the end. It's basically guaranteed that these were both the monster's items.
4. In terms of aftermath, Mimi is alone, traumatized, and homeless. This is shown by when Mimi sings alone and says "Now only dogs will follow me" (at 0:13/0:16). Mimi is still wearing the clothes from the events and you never see his lower sleeves, so you can't tell if there's blood there. Him also sitting alone on a carousel during the night for no reason, this seems to imply homelessness as he is sleeping in the carousel due to not being able to get home after the events.

U literally just finished the Eve MV and u out here finishing another video already. Hope youre getting enough rest in the basement sir

[wingedwolf]

AHHHHg what was that thing!? It was like a pupa monster. Actually creepy! Love it!!!!

[crownedxwolf]

You never fail to surprise me dude. Awesome work as always. Now gimme a couple of hours so I can come up with a theory hehe 👀

Ok so warning I’m really bad and coming up with theories but I’ll try my best.
From what I understood children constantly getting kidnapped and being brought to some kind of warehouse where that alien like entity gathers up his prey( the kiddos). And he somewhat turns them into dood products?(at the supermarket scene) damn I I really don’t know that much 🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️

0:46 wait hold up, its them on the missing flyer because at 0:28 they scribble the same names on their drawings "mimi and mok"

edit: so after rewatching this for as many times as my brain could handle today, I came up with something: the two kids, mimi and mok are homeless, basically roaming here and there (hence easier to abduct). at the shopping mall/department store they meet the *thing* which is the insect cryptid. now the insect could just be a metaphor for an actual murderer that enjoys cannibalism. there are two ways this could have gone: either he took them amongst many other children and at some point the two murdered him (the scene at the end where they are covered in blood and holding hands) and took his role, or he took them as his first prey (hence the first missing flyer was with them on it) and the two murdered him and continued his legacy. Considering the song lyrics actually go along with the story, there could also be another explanation: "I bite the hand that feeds me" maybe he took them and raised them while teaching them their cannibalistic tendencies and they ended murdering him and continued as he had taught them. I could be completely wrong but the point is that this is a masterpiece, thank you zem for feeding us with iconic content once and again :')

edit no. 2: yes, I'm back again because why not. since the song got stuck in my head, I did a little background check and found out its from an old 11 minute long film made in the 1983s called "possibly in michigan". it talks about the story of two friends; one of the girls was stalked by a cannibalistic killer who saw them at the mall. in the film he is obsessed by the smell of the girls and is apparently searching for a smell like "home" and even hurts one of them and intends to kill her under the excuse of "love". then he stalks the girl into her home until both of the girls kill him then eat him, throwing his bones (wrapped up in a trash bag) in the garbage. theres lots of shots that include dogs on them. apparently the film was made by a woman who dated an actual killer (called the unicorn killer or something similar) and due to her lack of sense of smell, she didn't notice the smell of the decaying body in their home. he was caught and she was traumatized so that inspired the short movie (hope the source was correct). Now relating to this animation, we can speculate a little bit more about the so called insect creature/killer. as another reply here took notice, there's pictures on the walls of kids wearing uniforms. it may be considered safe to assume that the insect/killer was searching for some companionship/love but nonetheless not without the cannibalistic tendecies (as he probably tried to murder one of them), maybe he even tried the same in the past but succeded in killing the other kids (the photos on the wall). this time fortunately mimi and mok put an end to it by killing him, but not without becoming the same as him, cannibals. I may be dwelling on this too much but what can I say, we all have things we enjoy.

I am Japanese. I found out about you from Eve's music video you drew. In 56 seconds, I was as happy as watching a two-hour movie. I love this❤

[yyan]

zemyata back at it again doing the god's work

"นิ้วทอด"

And now I wish I can have some fried finger in Thailand XD

[louixie.]

THE STORE SHOT BLEW ME AWAY you truly capture atmosphere on a different level this is phenomenal!! The detail and style choices are excellently done and I adore your storytelling so much!
Incredible work as always!

[alterapp]

God damn, I swear these animations are just getting more cinematic and detailed with each release. I know you’ve gotten plenty of compliments already, and you won’t see my comment but I just had state my attraction to your visual presentation, art, and framing. It all just has so much Stylistic flare and identity. It’s only a matter of time till we start seeing your work in professional studios. I’ll still be around to watch that happen! Good luck Zem.

[kxrachii]

It haven't even been a month since Yoruwa Honoka and you're already uploading a new animation... Zem you're working so hard!! we're so proud of you 💕✨

*✨My Sparknotes Interpretation✨:* *It’s a never ending loop* ...I'm really proud of this so please read it. it took so long :'D

*A N A L Y S I S* 👁️ (you can skip this if you feel like you already understand the video)
Let's cover the -cannibals- characters first. The black cat is named Mok and the white cat is named Mimi (0:06). They are followed around by an insect creature (0:30). Mimi says "now only dogs will follow me"(0:13). The "dog" is the insect creature. Because the two characters are cats, this line is used to emphasis that this creature is chasing/hunting them down like a dog. Note that Mimi says this on a carousel (this is symbolism I'll get back onto later in the theory section).

then we see POV shots of the insect creature following Mok and Mimi in the night, discovering they eat their own kind (0:17). From 0:21 to 0:28 we get a dark comedy montage. 0:20 shows a puddle of Mok and Mimi's body parts, we see it slightly move (this is probably how the insect creature was born). 0:23 shows a pile of dismembered parts of Mok and Mimi, implying that both characters have died many times. 0:28 shows both characters drawing themself with insect creature, holding hands. Finally, at. 0:30 we see that the insect creature has intruded into their home.

0:34-0:37 explains to us Mok and Mimi's first encounter with this thing. They met in Michigan at a mall. At 0:39 we see surveillance camera footage. Note that there is carousel to the right of this footage (is is blurred). 0:40-0:42 is straight forward. They met in a department store (within a mall). 0:43 we see a shot of packaged food of body parts. 0:44 shows the same shot but it's used to imply that time has passed. Some notable things: A schedule to the top right of the shot and polaroid photos each saying "stake out" with different numbers. The stake outs show that Mok and Mimi have been lurking out at night (which makes sense bc they are cats). 0:45 Finally we get another dark comedy shot of body parts falling.

0:46 is when everything is revealed. They are missing people, including Mok and Mimi. This shows that they were once human with no cat ears or tail. It’s very fast but to the right of Mok and Mimi’s picture there is another missing person. Most notably it says, “LAST SEEN: Summer Mall”. We get the name of the mall Mok and Mimi first met their stalker. 0:47 shows that Mok and Mimi killed the stalker insect. 0:49 shows a shot of chloroform and cloth. If you don’t know, chloroform is used to suffocate a victim. This can be done by pouring chloroform one a cloth, and putting it over someone’s mouth. Finally at 0:51 we see that Mok and Mimi have already killed their victim.

*T H E O R Y* 🧠
The reason why so many people are missing is because Mok and Mimi have been eating them. *The big plot twist of this whole animation is that the insect creature is actually the good guy.* It was implied that Mok and Mimi have already died and now they have taken the form of cats. They lurk out in the night to kill and eat their victims. I theorize this insect creature is actually a decomposer (I feel like it should even be named “the decomposer”). At 0:20 it implies that this creature manifested from Mok and Mimi’s dead body parts. This makes sense because decomposer insects are are attracted to dying things, they would lay their eggs in rotting bodies. This insect is chasing Mok and Mimi, because they are supposed to be dead. However, this insect keeps failing. This is why we see so many body parts of Mok and Mimi. They died so many times but they keep coming back. The carousel at the beginning of the video is symbolic of this never ending *“dog and cat chase”* between these characters. Since Mok and Mimi killed the decomposer insect they can continue their cannibalism. However, this insect will eventually come back and manifest again from Mok and Mimi’s rotting corpses. It’s a never ending loop.

*The "loop" part of this narrative is shown at the beginning and end of the video. **0:06** and **0:51** show the same exact shot. It implies that the story is starting all over again. Also at **0:17**, the decomposer insect is referred to as a "he". ONLY FEMALE insects lay eggs. This further implies that there are more decomposer insects out there hunting for Mok and Mimi*

Other interpretations and unintentional details🔎:
- Chloroform is also used in pesticides. That’s why it was used to kill the decomposer insect
- Mok and Mimi’s names both relate to water. Mok is a hypocorism of “Moses”, the character in the Bible known for parting the Red Sea, and Mimi’s name means “sea of bitterness”.
