Tubbo has honestly been through so much and he seems to be entirely neglected. This animatic really shows in a creative way just how much of a pawn he’s always been and what he’s been through. It’s amazing, as always!

[footh]

I just realized "I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is" actually has a lot of subtext to it! It's not one whole surface, but a bunch of broken pieces that bend and twist under their own pressure

[Gracex]

TUBBO HAS BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH
WHEN SAM KILLED RANBOO THE PURE PAIN IN RANBOO’S EYES IM LITERALLY CRYING SO HARD RN OMG!!

[mochithemudwing]

He’s been through so much, and somehow he can still hold himself together, he was so sad when ranboo died then he couldn’t find micheal. He keeps getting crushed by burdens and at the end he just is so overwhelmed he just explodes with emotions

[surreal_cereal]

Love that button scene
Eret pressed the button, Wilbur pressed the button, but Tubbo chose not to on the line "no mistakes"

[ariaowl]

this really puts into perspective how much tubbo as a character has gone through. From being killed by techno and reliving that moment in his dreams repeatedly to tommy's exile, losing his husband to the man who vowed to protect the server, seeing ghostboo everyday as a horrible reminder of his loss, the threat of losing his son to the same man who killed ranboo. this was an amazing animation, also. tubbo's and ranboo's design is amazing!!

[artificialoutput]

This was soooo cool!! I don't feel like many people talk about the reality of c!Tubbos situation. He was manipulated and traumatized and lied to and brushes it off like he's not an actual kid that had to deal with responsibilities that he was forced into. His character is arguably one of the most interesting in the story. Incredible job as always!!!!

[diceonvenus]

THIS IS A BIT RANDOM BUT I JUST REALIZED THAT (at least based on your design of tubbo) THE WHOLE BEEDUO FAMILY DYNAMIC HAS A HALF AND HALF FACE. 
Ranboo being black n white, tubbo and his scarred/burnt face, micheal and his half bone half pig face
just. RRR

[ajocheese]

I went through every emotion watching this I swear. This song goes perfectly with Tubbo's character. Ranboo's death and the "drip, drip, drip" parts literally had me sobbing yet in awe at how perfect they were. Absolutely fantastic!! <3

[albypawlisch]

i really like how tubbo's character design evolves in this, things like his eye healing and how he starts to get Buff as more pressure gets applied because he like, sees a need to be physically strong as well to protect his family. excellent touch to an excellent animation

[rebeccaw]

I love how you gave Tubbo more muscle definition (at least for Snowchester/current Tubbo) than he usually gets in other animatics, it may be a small detail but I like it, for one because he has more muscle than he’s depicted as happens and also he appears to gain muscle as time passes, having less muscle in LManburg’s early days and having defined muscle now after all he’s been through, showing how he had to develop strength through all the pressure. It may not have been intentional, idk, but I like it. He also appears to age physically a lot from lmanburg to now, showing how he’s grown through time naturally and through all he’s been through

[animationfreak]

DUDE THIS IS SO GOOD. This captures the tragedy of Tubbo's character so well omg - the song choice fits so well too - your animatics never disappoint

[aspenn.]

I'm so feral over this oh my god. The transitions, the expressions of everyone, the background colour shifting to white and back to grey, the character designs, all of it!! This is such a good show of his character and the song choice fits so well.

[TheAdvertisement]

A lot of people focus on Wilbur's stress during the L'Manburg war, slowly going insane, but Tubbo endured so much more, stretched between two sides. The poor guys has somehow held out through all of it, he really deserves a break.

[Astrelynx]

YESSS, I saw the title and thought “wouldn’t it be awesome if it was to Surface Pressure? AND I WASN’T DISAPPOINTED!!

[C-Az]

LETSS THE PERSPECTIVES AND THE STRINGS WHEN DREAM WAS THERE AND THE LORE AND THE SEQUENCING ITS AMAZING

[TinaCurry]

_' ' Tubbo, even though for this ENTIRE server, I've always regarded you as my- as my sidekick, but really, Tubbo, I was... I was _*_your_*_ sidekick. Just... please don't go.' '_

[CopperCadwyn]

Tubbo: Has a secret nuclear operation
Also Tubbo: What if I put a radiation symbol... On my back?



This is very in character

[claudiacat]

I love everyones designs so much! Tubbo, short and muscular, Ranboo with blank eyes that still look so kind and happy, Micheal looks so cute too, everythings just perfect!

[KingNedya]

Holy cow this just made me realize how truly tragic Tubbo's character is.
