I read that fanfiction. TWO DAYS AGO.
Ouch, now it hurts again.

Hi! I’m gonna be real normal about this and gush about EVERY SINGLE FRAME because WOW, I can’t believe I just found this and this has made my day, my year, and my life.

0:01 - THEY LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL AND SOFT AAAAHH!! I love the fact that you had Bam’s hair in a ponytail for this!!! That was my favorite hairstyle of his <333 Khun looks just slightly evil and I LOVE IT! He’s up to something!

0:06 - as a general note, your transitions are so fucking on beat. I’m in awe. Agh, every time the image changes it just feels so satisfying!!! Also BAM LOOKS SO INNOCENT HERE I wanna hug him <33

0:10 - Khun!! Holding!!! The Black March! (Or the Yellow May) I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS FRAMING!! Khun’s back to Bam! Just in two seconds you’ve conveyed so much longing!

0:12 - KHUN HOLDING HIS SISTER AND STARING UP AT EDUAN! The black background! Contrast! AGH! The way it frames his hatred towards his father and everything he represents!

0:13 - THAT SHOT OF EDUAN'S BACK WOW!!! The DETAILS!!! Ok ok ok I honestly can't get enough of this whole art style. It's so perfect for what you want to convey <3 It's so mysterious and motivations are hidden and the VIBE is PERFECT.
0:14 - ok that's the coolest flipping hair dye transition EVER!!! I love how it sorta reminds you of the earlier shot and how it represents Khun letting his revenge over his family sort of 'take over' him <33. And the hand gestures and hair movements are SO COOL! AGH!

0:17 - more shots of bloodied Khun kids (or so I'm assuming). Maybe in the testing grounds? Where the fire fish makes its first appearance? <3 its such a chilling shot and it works SO WELL.

0:20 - KHUN WITH THE FIRE FISH!!! Can I just gush about how I LOVE the way you drew the fire fish? It's SO PERFECT and so fluid, I can completely envision it swimming around them in the air as this big beautiful thing.

0:23 - BAM'S EXPRESSION AGH! The way it lines up with the framing from earlier gives this animatic so much visual consistency and really makes it tell a story <3.

0:24 - this sequence is also SO BEAUTIFUL HOLY FUCK. The way you capture movement is, again, SO IMPRESSIVE.

0:30 - the "I already told you I'm right here" in the song hits SO HARD ON THIS FRAME. DAMMN. It fits with the fic so well too I'm crying.

0:34 - This. Kiss. The freaking kiss. It's exactly how I'd imagined it. No eyes, hidden expressions except for a small smile. Its so fucking beautiful and tragic that I've replayed this at least a dozen times and yep, I'm totally normal about this.
0:41 - Khun's expression here is so complicated and perfect.

0:44 - AND THE WAY HE TURNS TO FACE MASCHENNY AND KISEA (I think? Or maybe the rest of the team?). This transition was FIRE! HOLY FUCK! Real 'going off to war' vibes <333

0:46 - BAM TOUCHING HIS MOUTH! slams head into desk, I swear to god I will never get over the amount of emotions I feel over this frame.

0:48 - And the moment of realization! Idk why I'm so charmed by that little 'click', and you time it SO well with the music!

0:50 - that little transition to reveal the fire fish was SICK. Little hints of it at the edges of the frame, and then this sick reveal. I LOVE the fact that you drew it with eyes looking at That level of extra effort is justchefs kiss.

0:52 - Bam's reaction here seriously is so good. And the ANGLE you drew it at!!!! That's so freaking impressive!

0:54 - the shot of Bam looking at the GATE The huge empty space left behind!!! AGHHHH.

0:58 - that super fluffy drawing of the two leaning on each other is (in my mind) the two of them at the end, right? After the floor test is over? If so, I'm SO HAPPY you ended on that image, because I definitely need that little boost of fluff after my heart has been ripped out.

This is such a beautiful animatic. I can't put into words how much I absolutely loved it. ok, well, I tried, but it still feels lacking. In any case, I love this so much and will never get over it in a million years. Thank you for making this!!!
