27th Birthday

🎵 The Caretaker - I Feel As If Might Be Vanishing

"Chronic pain? You'll get used to it."
Is so devastatingly real.
Happy birthday, Andy.

i love how viscerally these birthday animations speak the language of the loopful life of someone who suffers from chronic pain or intense disabilities, especially with how expensive it is to want to live as someone with those disabilities.

[paranormeow]

this really captures how chronic pain and disability can make you feel like your life is slipping away. happy birthday man hope you’re doing alright

[Bean_Lord]

Jesus Christ this is a horrifying masterpiece and I hope you don't stop making these

At this point I can't tell if the tone keeps getting darker each year or if I'm just understanding it more and more...

Andy’s birthday is always one of my favorite days of the year because another dark and depressing video detailing the state of andy’s life and aging itself in cryptic ways is released. Its kinda of weird thinking about how a stranger I’ll never meet’s birthday is one of my favorite days. But hey, happy birthday anyway 🥳

Turned 27 the 26th of Jan myself. It's turned from an existential dread for the last 15 years to an apathetic emptiness that just doesn't go away. Always angry, always tired, nothing gets better. Have a nice year Andy. I hope you feel a sense of happiness, sometime.

Man these always remind me that sometimes your own art can also be a medium for your mental state and the things around you

I love these birthday videos. Ive been dealing with chronic pain for 5 years now and medical issues my whole life, and ive never seen something potray it so well. I know im late, but happy birthday andy!

Love how in the 26th birthday video, we see what I assume is Andy's self insert drop some sort of spoon on a table, and everyone gives him weird looks for something out his control. In this video we see him throw away a bunch of spoons as he can't find anything that works well. Little details like that make these animations seem so much more human, while telling a much bigger story.

I was awaiting this. I don’t know why. But every time I watch these, it feels oddly familiar in a way. Happy Birthday Andy, thank you for all that you do.

[LeMnZeVAR]

To be honest everytime i see an andy animation i see so much of myself in his work and I'm just, so strangely proud of him.

[jackmode]

Interesting how it's the dread of getting older, having to take a bunch of pills, having back pain, being rushed out, etc., watching all that happen knowing you're next.

Bro’s mind is full of demons and he releases one every year

I know this is probably a cry for help, but i cant help but notice how good and unique this art style is, 10/10 and happy birthday Andy!

“Chronic pain? You’ll get used to it!” best ad ive ever seen

[foxplaysindies]

God this hurts so much knowing in a month I'm seeing a rheumatologist on my 18th birthday for joint pain and that's what I'm going to remember about that day for the rest of my life.
Edit: couldn't see rheumatologist bc insurance change LOL
