@tangledinink i first connected this song to your Sorry What Now Splinter back in August, and I finally, finally got this done!! There's a few janky bits here and there, but this is the first animatic of this length that I've actually managed to finish!! I hope you like it!
Was looking though the birthday art and noticed that Mikoto has a split expression here, which is a motif we see alot in his character. The left side of his face appears to be more generally happy while the right side appears to be more shy and still smiling. I’m sure the right side is supposed to represent John here which makes me really sad as this is probably one of the only times we’ve seen him truly smile. And he appears more shy here, like he’s not used to this kinda stuff.
*takes your face in my hands* listen to me. listen. sir sparklepuff was created as a christ figure. listen. he was born to die. made to be sacrificed. aaravos is god. a mostly jewish team of protags are fighting against god and pre-determinism. viren is called to sacrifice his son on a hill and it's their subsequent breaking point. aaravos is willing to sacrifice his son. soren is a judas who made the right choice. viren is literally entombed in a cave. listen to me. *crying* what father makes a son just to kill him?
