Escapism | Dream SMP Animation | Flipaclip

The audio does not belong to me.

(lololol this got copyrighted and i panicked my butt off)

After exactly one month, with exams and school slowing me down, I managed to finish it!
An animation/animatic (idk) of Ghostbur looking over the destruction of L’manburg, his country and home. It broke me down seeing how much they’ve been through, even if it’s just a game lol

Animation App: FlipaClip
FPS: 7
Tools: IPhone 8 and my finger (ow)

LIMITED CRYMELT PLUSHIES!! :D

This is so beautiful, the colours, style, movement, expressions, all of it is so perfect and it fits the song so well

[crowspeaches]

The movement and colors are so beautiful, I’m mildly terrified that this was done on a phone

[Grace-pobq]

Holy crap this is so beautiful. The composition of each shot, the colors and how smooth the animation was, it's all so amazing

[tropicalsushi]

You did this on a phone?!?

This is so good!!!

[madisnzz]

“I guess I have to face that in this awful I shouldn’t show a trace of doubt.”

This line is so powerful, atleast for me. Anyone and I mean anyone in the SMP can use it. This place is nothing but pain and regret for so many.

[rv]

The fact that there are so many incredibly talented artists and animators who make things based off of dsmp and stuff makes me so happy. Everything is beautiful about this animation amazing job

[honestlymeggy]

That’s so beautiful oh my the music and the art is just so good!

Ok, so I'm like- New-New to the SMP fandom meaning I am literally relying on tiny short clips and SAD-ist's videos for context on what's going on. But watching this gave me a sudden idea:

You know what would be really nuts? If Dream is actually this strange weird humanoid entity similar to The Doctor from Doctor Who, mixed with Monika from DDLC where the reason why he's like this is because the Dream Smp has been going through this weird loop over and over again where in the end it always led to the complete death of everybody, and maybe Dream WAS a good guy in the beginning but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't seem to fix it, so he gave up and became a chaotic neutral being who's at this point lost parts of his humanity but not all of it, because no matter how hard he tries, he's still human and if he's been in this kind of loop thing for a while, it means he's had to see his friends die or betray him or do horrible things to him, but also amazing wonderful things and it's difficult for him because he can't tell if he want's to keep them close or hurt them as they did him just like they did in the other time loops.

Idk it sounds cool but I'm still trying to figure out how Ranboo fits but I THINK this loop would be Dreams official last one, but Ranboo will be taking his place and HE'LL be trapped in that loop while Dream goes into a similar state to everyone else when HE was in that time loop of ages. Again, no idea if I've even gotten the idea of the Dream Smp plot right, but that's cause I haven't searched or found any of the clips that started it all :/ no hate, but I WOULD like some context or a timeline or a link to the videos so that I can have a better understanding of what's actually going on and if I'm right or at least my theory not sounding crazy as hell.

Ghostbur: "I'd rather be free~~~"

Yeah bro I wouldn't want to be at a train station forever either

The person who disliked this finger's slipped

I had never heard this song before, but ten seconds in, I was like “this sounds like Rebecca Sugar, probably Steven Universe” I looked in the description, and you won’t believe what I found lmao

[C.O.G-child_of_god]

I know I’m 3 yrs late but I love this the movement and attention to detail are fantastic and I absolutely love Steven universe so this gave me some good nostalgia

[ThatRandomDude]

This reminded me of the word escapist,
I am an escapist, I use fiction or make believe to escape from life's problems, stuff like games art and sometimes reading, I do these things to try and ignore and block out my problems, and the things happening around me that may be negative.
I want to escape.

God, Fundy looked so YOUNG. People forget he's technically only a few years old, just advanced aging or whatever. The anguish on his face was so raw.... and the ambient story telling of how Ghostbur forgot all the less pleasant aspects of alivebur as Fundy's parent...

[sttc_plntz]

This animation has me sobbing cos I am a SU and DSMP fan and the song itself can make me cry, but then you added ghostbur to it with a beautiful animation style

[amyfitzgerald]

I just keep rewatching this over and over, there's something about it that scratches my brain just right. I cried the first time I watched it lol, and now I've watched it probably upwards of 20 times? You're an incredibly talented artist and animator, not only is the animation smooth (the guitar in the beginning always has me mesmerized) but also the drawings are just really skillful. The use of blue for present day scenes is really cool and unique too, and all the colors compliment each other so nicely. Also music choice is great, and you portrayed the song in an absolutely breathtaking way! Anyway, I could keep talking about this for a long time but you should be so proud of yourself, thank you so much for making this and please never let anyone make you feel like your art isn't worth anything, it's beautiful and worth emotional value but also I would genuinely pay money to see more of your work!
