HELLO so ive watched this a couple of times and heres my interpretation of the video!!
i think its overall about how people change and turn themselves into something their not, (“i fear who i am becoming”) until they cant recognize who they are anymore.
(throughout this i refer to demons: these arent literal demons, im referring to inner demons, like vices etc)
in the first scene, we can see the someone whispering something to the character. because they look just like her, i think of her like an inner demon, telling her shes not enough. the way her eye twitches a little bit is just how shes losing her grip on herself. then, in a blink, the demon is gone, and shes all alone. she cups her face in her hands - i think shes kind of tired (?) of her thoughts, and that just signifies how shes finally given in to the temptation.
then we see the transformation to a ‘platter’, and from the way the animation works i think the girl at 0:06 is actually whats being fed. shes kind of sweating and distressed, and the way she cups her head again makes me think thats its actually herself: shes offering herself up to be ‘eaten’ by her demons.
THEN, a jarring difference to a bright blue sky. the girl is back, and her expressionless face as she aims her finger gun means thats shes accepted that shes metaphorically shooting herself in the head. (or its just me reading too much into it)
okay, thank you for reading this far!!
next we see her looking at herself in the mirror: the slight smile in her reflection could be her demons. as the reflection crawls out, i think its kind of like how her demons have now finally become part of her reality. at 0:15 we see the demon smirking, as her ‘self’ is bloody and crying. again, shes given herself up to be taken, no matter how much pain its causing her. (“is he following?” the lyrics give me the sense that shes feeling claustrophobia?)
at 0:17 we have the lines “i bite the hand that feeds me”, which could be connected to what the demons are doing to her: biting the hands that feed them. the person we see is eating a heart, again, an amazing metaphor for ‘eating’ the most important part of you. (the demons are eating what makes her, herself)
then, her as shes a surprised, she cries out, as if shes only just realized what shes done. shes saying, “i slap at the face that eats me”, as in the demons who eat at her personality. unfortunately, the colors change, and they are are back, smiling all the while.
in the next shot, shes alone in what seems to be a bathroom. shes looking around, scared, again. i think shes scared of what shes doing to herself, but shes also simultaneously allowing her demons to wreck havoc in herself. “some kind of animal cannibal”: the cannibal are her demons - her demons are inside her, so that means shes eating at herself.
next, we see the girl about the bite at her own neck. weirdly, shes looking at the camera with an eerie happiness: shes fully accepted that this is harming her, but its so much easier not to care and tell herself its too late to come back,
the next shot is artistic i think, but maybe her on a plate is (yes, aGAIN) a metaphor for how shes eating at herself. thats literally what this is all about.
“you are what you eat”, is kind of ominous. are the demons now fully taking over her personality?
this shots my favorite: shes hiding her bloody, gray self with colorful smiles. there are two interpretations:
1. that this is the bargain her inner demons offer: her true self will be eaten away painfully, but at least she LOOKS like shes doing much better.
2. OR how shes hiding what her demons are doing to her with color, but never actually doing anything to stop them.
0:37, shes crouching alone, in a dark space, eyes wide. this could be her true self, hiding away in the depths of her mind, terrified at whats happening - but then, the way she holds her heart is strangely giving me inner demon vibes again.
WE ARE REACHING THE END THANK YOU FOR BEARING WITH ME
theres an infinite hall of mirrors, with her reflections reaching out to infinity. maybe this is her confusion at not being able to recognize which one is her: shes so far in this that she cant figure out who she is?? the way she looks over her shoulder, away from the confusion just screams demons all over again.
OK, then, pictures connected be red string: the typical detective scene. i think the pictures represent all her problems - shes trying to figure out whats causing all of them. and then, the central picture is black, and reflects herself.
shes the cause of her own problems.
in the final shot, shes alone on her couch. the way her head lolls to the side and she stares blankly at us is the sad message that yes, shes been completely taken over. she is hollow inside because its all been eaten away.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING THIS FAR. this is my own opinion, so feel free to come to your own conclusions!
HNNG I love this theory/idea! I got goosebumps on the last sentence about being hollow inside because it's all been eaten away, I love it ^^! Is it okay if I pin this to the comment section? I really want to share this with everyone!
@@crymelt OMYGOD you dont even need to ask!! ive loved yr art for so long I WOULD LITERALLY BE HONORED
this is actually such an interesting analysis
i can get at the idea of demons eating at her, but i think the animation could also represent the disassocation of the person with themselves
they are always conflicted, and i think eating at themselves could literally be their own mind eating away at their insanity, being unable to cope with whatever's happened to them
the most interesting shot has always been the shot where she shoots into the camera with the blue sky behind her
it's so colorful against the dark and cold backgrounds of the rest of the shots
cool analysis, i liked it :)
@@The_Jazziest_Coffee i agree with you about that blue sky shot. im still kind of conflicted about what that means. i love the idea of their own disassocation with themselves thats so cool! im glad you liked it :)
this theory is actually so cooll
this is so captivating from the art style to the colour palette and the transitions literal chills
Yeahh I legit got chills too it was so strange
fr the hair on my skin literally just: 🧍♀️🧍♀️🧍♀️🧍♀️🧍♀️🧍♀️🧍♀️🧍♀️
ungod inspired me to get busy on my own style , with a more silent hill aesthetic
Ikr
Omh for real im I love
This is maybe my favorite version of this meme I've ever seen. So many little things are so well done to make such a haunting and eerie atmosphere. I particularly love the one mirror scene at 0:39 and whatever is happening at 0:25 Just an amazing job, and the ending a a perfect scare to top it all off.
Yeah the mirror one was crazy in a good way
the one at 0:25 i believe is a reference to suicide.
0:46 just caught me off guard
WOW THE MOVEMENT IN THIS IS JUST ABSOULTUELTY INCREIDBLE!!!!!!!!
I absolutely agree ✨
WAHHHH CRUMB HIIII :D
WAAH CUPTOAST thank you ^^ (love u)
Absolute icon ✨✨
Every animation meme I go you must be here 😭
The phrase “you are what you eat” used in this animatic is incredible, as it is basically saying that they are human, as they eat humans. Just the fact that it seems de-humanising, the prospect of eating the same species makes that saying even more amazing in this context. Great job!
I really didn’t explain that very well, but basically I love it! :))
I think it also means that the girl eats pretty people so she can be pretty as we saw in the photos that covered parts of her body.
You've never failed to mezmerize me with how unique your art and the animation is. It's an incredible gift you have and I'm very lucky I get to see it. Your videos are always worth the wait! 😊
And I did not mean to discredit Crymelt and how much time and effort they've put into learning their craft. But it does take a very dedicated person with a clear vision to do what they do, and that can be very hard to come by. Obviously, animation, and even art in general, takes time to learn and it can be very challenging.
Edit: Added 2nd paragraph, spelling error. Thank you for the corrections :)
Huge experience in drawing and a lot of time spent: ...
People around: you have a gift!
Did you mean mesmerize? If so I agree on some parts but not the gift. I'm sure crymelt put a lot of time and work to reach this point. What is sure though is that crymelt is a beatiful gift to the world.
Edit : Thanks for the precision, I totally agree on that ^^
i dont fucking understand
Why do you guys get so jumpy at the word 'gift,' they're just complimenting the artist. I get it, talent has nothing to do with how well someone is at their craft, but damn. Just let them admire an artist they love without jumping down their throats, geez. This is coming from an artist, btw.
@@unorthodoxic4691Agreed
I love your art style
Real
Yea
Same. Hope I can draw like this one day (and make animatics, but that’s a long ways away)
@@CryingARiver ay i believe in you
I believe in@@CryingARiver too!
I can fix her!
Yea and I’m a billionaire
Pls and give her to me
NOO
NAHH LMAO😭😭💀💀
Her:...
have you ever just seen a really great animation meme that the animator puts so much effort working on every detail and making it close to perfect then you get so amazed by it that you get really inspired to do/make something great for yourself or someone? yeah this is one of the few animation memes that does that to others who really appreciate it. and that includes me. truly a masterpiece. really hope this animation gets the amount of attention it TRULY deserves. if it doesn't, i would be very angry 💚
yea I have. there are like thousands. welcome to the internet.
I love this style of horror. Random images clumped that seem unrelated and linked at the same time. It gives off unsettling and foreboding vibe and also adds a bit of mystery. Loving the arstyle!
Quick question (you don't have to answer if you don't want to): Is this an oc or a random animation you came up with?
Thank you ^^, I don’t know if this is an oc since I don’t really have a name for her. I’d love to think that I'm drawing the same girl sometimes but still keep her looking different each time hehe
@@crymelt so is she the same girl as the before, or is she different in this one? Also, if I may ask, do you have the name for the girl in the Two Time and Fighter?
Brilliant work

Ахереть наззи
A very earie yet almost surreal feeling watching this. I'm not sure how to describe why I love it so much.
I want to print every frame of this out to hang it on my wall so I never forget what I’m aspiring to be. The atmosphere is extremely well set, especially through that gorgeous lighting, and you accomplish so much with just those little movements - I’m going to watch this ten more times now, thank you for a video that’s going to inspire me for years to come
Bruh what are you aspiring to be...?!
Nice to see you back (and hopefully well) after a while. In my opinion, the ending is the scarist part of the Animation "meme" for another reason.
While anybody will think at first glance that the protagonist is simply starring into our souls, I dare to theorize that this could be a reference to the thousand yard stare.
For all who don't know, the thousand yard stare is a stare to describe the empty and unfocused stare of traumatized soldiers, mostly after combat. However, the term is also been used to generally describe the same stare of victims who went through a traumatic event and are not responding to anything happening arround them, because of the trauma.
With that, I think that the protagonist is having that thousand yard stare. This is also getting alluded by how she's sitting on that sofa, with her arms spread out and her having a position of "fatigue" and "tiredness". Her looking looking right into the fourth wall could simply be a coincidence, maybe intentionally hidding the real meaning. But who knows right ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Additonaly, the stare (if true) would also confirm my theory, that the topic of that "meme" is abuse in a toxic relationship. I'm not going to explain, why I think so, since I'm not really good at it. Moreover, someone will definitely come again like in your "two time" video and Analyse the living thing out of it. So, why not him doing the talking, while I simply name a potential little detail you put in the video, he can put in his analysis ;)
Again: I'm glad to see that you're back and the fact that there are so many ways to interpretate your animation memes is one of your biggest strengths 😊
dont worry i gotchu covered im writing one right now
@@ilikeflour Perfect :) I'm excited to read it.
i mean the original audio is from a short film about two women evading and eventually fighting back a creepy man who was following them when they were just trying to shop for perfume. and its clear both the characters are used to these kinds of men and have had many other encounters with them.
it's funny cuz i remember staring directly at the screen and suddenly the protag was staring back (or maybe into the distance and spacing out like what you said) and that seriously caught me off guard
@@The_Jazziest_Coffee I mean its also possible that she's dead and that we are simply the camera over her body taking a picture of her in the morgue. This could also explain the flash at the end! However the position she's having, when looking at us (you can see a little bit of her shoulder in the lower right corner) is probably not the one a corpse would have. Additionally that would be kinda boring, so for me thousand yard stare it may be!
Ah. She metaphorically "ate" herself. Well that's depressing-- I love the symbolism.
Edit: I have a vague analysis in my reply that I did for the sake of it but it's not much haha
Nutshell of what I think:
Its a good summary of depersonalisation: this separation between the 'past' you or a representative of yourself that you feel more related to than the current persona you've developed. At one point, the lines between you and "them" crossed.
1st scene:
0:00-0:02
Shes whispering to herself: im assuming it's something about changing to become an ideal version of themselves - she's creating a resolve. However this means she'll have to abandon who she was before in order to become this ideal - maybe its this final thing she whispers to herself that sets her into motion.
0:03
Shame.
And then: a plate of which she's feeding herself with. Surprise surprise: you're now storing the previous version of you inside of you. They'll never really go away - that's the problem. Therefore, a burdensome separation of identity and tensity: this follows similar themes to their previous animation actually...
0:04
New persona doing exactly as i described above and 0:06 willfully accepting this almost false enlightenment. This new persona is actually protrayed as almost violent considering this is the act of figuratively killing themselves: good song selection. I wont be analysing the lyrics but it's easy to pick up. She does almost pray/intelrink her hands: almost like she's hoping this'll work out.
Spoiler alert: it doesn't. Now we're sad and traumatised.
The rest of the scenes only really elaborate on this whole disassociation and depersonalisation. This feeling of being watched: wanting to change again after experiencing the development of your character. Made your cake, eat it too vibes.
You can try to blame others but in the end, it's all a self fulfilling prophecy of anxiety and emptiness hence the last few ending scenes. Stereotypical representation of mirrors and the "heart" of emotions. Bathroom i almost thought it was like wanting to vomit it all up after regretting it... But yeah.
I didn't want to spend a lot of time on this but that's my brief not-in-depth-perspective ❤ love the animation
i can’t express my love for your art style. the way it compliments the song and color palette makes it all come together into this masterpiece. your work is truly beautiful.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Your art style is mesmerising and this animation is no exception, but it’s not only the animation. The colour pallet, the character design, everything is just so well made! You really inspire me to keep trying art. I could go on but I feel like everything I could say has already been said, great work!
your art is so beautiful , the choice of colors made it really seem like it was a horror film. u never fail to amaze me
your really talented, i think everything you make is cool and that what your doing is immersive, creative and beautiful. your online presence is somewhere in between the lines of apathy and innovation. your art is bursting with a colorful, emotional atmosphere and yet theres still an apathetic mood around it. your speedpaint a year ago was such a great thing to watch for me at the time and i noticed while you were drawing the girl's finger at first she was biting it and it was bleeding but you covered it up. that was such a personal touch to the video, and now this amazing project you made shows the same theme in a highly polished cinematic short and it just amazed me. i love what you make, thank you for making it :')
I am and will always be a fan of your animations, they give so much emotion and the visual, artstyles, scenes, expressions, poses give so much emphasis and ambient that i always get chills or goosebumps, you make true artworks. I genuinely want to be like you when I grow up and get the tools for animating, you are a true inspiration
i rarely comment on animation memes but this is definitely the most impressive version of this meme i’ve seen. the detail put into every frame is incredible. i also love the shading/lighting it adds so much depth to the scenes!!
The sudden cut of the sound leading into the close up shot is so unnerving and I love it
Cannibals are really fun to hang out with tbh, my friend who's a cannibal even invited me to have dinner with his "crew" (I assume that's just what he calls his friend group lol) which I'm really looking forward to ^^
I love the little detail "you are what you eat" It really shows a darker meaning to that phrase! I love your art style as well as the story behind your characters. Keep up the good work!!
Can’t wait for someone to analyze every frame and show the hidden meaning behind this animation
Jeez, dude, your style of art and the flow of your animation is a genuine pleasure to watch. It’s amazing to see you work. Keep up the good stuff, it’s honestly truly impressive and this may just be the best looking art style I’ve seen
This is AMAZING. All the different angles give the meme so much artistically and meaningfully. The composition almost reminds me of the actual video of Possibly in Michigan, a bunch of weird clips mashed together, yet somehow feel eerily connected. The art is just an extra WOW, I've never seen you do gore before this, but it looks on par with some of my favourite gore artists. And I especially love the scene when there are 2 of the character and one of them is almost looking at the camera whilst grabbing the other by the shoulders. I have no idea whether you meant to slightly change your animation in some parts, however it works SO well. Some parts are a lot smoother, whilst some are a little choppy/unrefined, which is what I think when I watch Possibly in Michigan. I am so excited to see what you come up with next!
"So sorry for ranting"- a rando on the internet.
Woah- I absolutely love this! One of my favorite animations by far! Your art style is genuinely so beautiful and I just love how well the all goes together!(the song, animation, story, etc.)
THE ART, THE ANIMATION, AND THE POSES ARE SUCH A LIGHT TO MY EYES
UGH, everything works so well together. Yet another banger.
It's you again ^^ thank you
i definitely agree :)
I cannot stop watching. The coloring, the animation, the composition, it's absolutely jawdroppingly gorgeous. It's lterally just... so scrumptious.
I actually can’t explain how much I love this. I’ve rewatched this at least 4 times already 😭😭
OMGGG THE ART STYLE THE COLORS THE BACKROUNDS THE POSESSS ITS MESMERIZING
Vegan disabled person after reading "you are what you eat": i guess i am a vegetable
The art style is so amazing it makes me wanna cry. I don't even understand the story behind this animation due to my slow, untalented brain but the fact that there are artist like me out there, but can make things like this is....amazing. Bravo, you deserve it.
Your art is so amazing and i am honestly so in awe at your ability to bend a song into something this abstract. You inspire me, to say the least ✨
The way you convey everything while also making all your characters dummy cute is astounding
I love your art style to death. It's so sweet and cute in a way that doesn't betray the more serious tone you tend to lean towards.
I was definitely taken aback when I saw this though. Wasn't expecting something like this from you, but I'm ecstatic you made it! It's so unnerving and the imagery is really impactful from the minute of it we get. This is so creepy and I love it to death. (I adore creepy horror stuffs so this made me very happy :] )
Keep up the excellent work! Watching your growth from Fighter to this has been so cool and I'm so glad your getting the attention you deserve.
I think this video is about masking. Throughout the video, she appears distressed but the object of her distress does not appears to be what's going on, but the fact that she cannot stop herself. Throughout the video, she never resists anything the other "her" does, in fact, we often see her smiling, like at 0:25 where both of them smile as they dance. 0:32 seems to be symbolic of her taking from others and making it her own, as part of the mask. Througout the video she seems to grow to accept what she's become.
Possibly in Michigan has to be one of my favorite pieces of media out there, and seeing an anination meme with a song from it is glorious. Fantastic work
Your art and creativity with the psychological horror theme is incredible!
Your animations and animatics never cease to amaze me in how beautiful they are stylistically. If I had the resources, this is what I'd want my series to look like.
I can’t get over how good your stuff is. I just keep replaying them, i love how well you can choose the colours, vibe and your artstyle in general is just glorious. keep up the good work, this is incredible
also, the mirror scene is so good. I just want to highlight that.
This is amazing. I love how unsettling yet beautiful it is.
Gorgeous and even better than the previous one's, the theme and OC are good additions too
The still frame at the end also adds to the whole vibe of the song
Thank you for your new upload :)
This is one of the coolest animations I've ever seen, the blood and graphics are extremely beautifully done. As well as the artsyle it's self
I'm glad I discovered you. Keep up the great work!!
THIS ANIMATION IS SO SMOOTH FOR BEING SO LONG DUDE. THIS IS RLYY RLL RLLY COOL
Wow! The animation is really well done and the colours fit the mood so well! It’s both beautiful and disturbing at the same time. Really inspiring, well done!
Your art style reminds me so much about omori, not in the "drawing" sense but in the ambients and scenes, I love it so much
I absolutely love figuring out lore in these types of animations. True chills.
BIG FAN OF THIS LOVIN THE HORROR VIBES
You are back!
Man that was beautifully unsettling
The color, the style, everything is perfection! And your understanding of Color Theory is honestly wow! Everything from the perspectives to the backgrounds is just amazing!!! Just subbed!
this work is really great, you really know how to capture the kind of vibes that make mesmerize, it's so great the way you work, hands down one of my favorite artists on the platform.
that was absolutely amazing and SO creative omg I LOOVEEEE!!!
THIS IS INSANELY CREATIVE ARE U KIDDING ME?!
I absolutely ADORE your work, it’s smooth, creative and everything gives me a good goosebump 😭
kind of gave me the impression of an early halloween animation but either than that, i loved the entire concept of it and how it was somewhat goofy at first but transitioned and hinted towards a more spooky feeling the longer the video went. for just a minute animation, it makes me crave for more things like this. cant wait for your next surprise of an animation!
this is so amazing!! everything is so good, like the anatomy and the composition of each shot!! thanks for making this
your art style is so simple yet it says so much! you've just become an inspiration!! your transitions are facinating, and i'd love to see an animation breakdown sometime!
I absolutely love the vibe of the video, the way you draw complex facial expressions also amaze me.Great work😁
every single frame of this animation is so amazing. I love the originality in your work!
I really like the artstyle and vibe you made in the video. You did a fantastic job and this went well with the music.
I love the art style sm, it's so cute !!
I love when random Possibly in michigan animations get made. The sheer creepiness of the original is hard to top
My goodness the shading and details are so entrancing! I love every second of this absolutely incredible work
The art style is so beautiful!!!! I love it so muchhh!!!
this is the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen and the atmosphere is literally perfect like hello?? 😩💕
i really hope im not the only one who lives for the sinister feel of a song combined with somewhat/very disturbing visuals
So happy to see more of your animation! Lovely art and cinematography.
THIS IS SO WELL DONE AND THAT DOUBLE MIRROR SCENE? AHHHH
I keep coming back to rewatch this, it's so captivating, you're very talented✨
Your Artstyle is like eye candy to me, idk if that makes sense but it’s a good thing ❤
This is unrealistically incredible. Literally so captivating and visually appealing. This comment has taken way too long to write because I keep looking back up and restarting this, seriously how is it this fantastic-
This is exactly the kind of video that I am looking for! The atmosphere, the main character and the background and the choice of music. All of it is really wholesome and incredible!
I really love your ideas and compositions! I really wanna make stuff like this and I’m gonna add it to an inspiration playlist to pump myself up :)
This is a fucking masterpiece... I literally have no words, I am speechless at the quality and the creativity.
This is absolutely stellar work. I'm blown away by how good it is.
Dude this is so good, I love it so much, it’s so unique and mesmerizing
im actually obsessed with your art style omfgggggg the talent
It's actually scary how similiar this is to a dream I had - ended up writing a creative piece based on the dream for my English assignment and added on a few things, even then the animation still captures those things. This is so cool keep it up :D
I’m so excited to see your art again. It’s just so damn good
Omg this is so cool, your composition for each shot is so intresting and your color pallet is beautiful
I am obsessed with this, the transitions, the art style the imagery, EEVERYTHING! good job!
i love how much red pops out in this, your art and animation style is amazing! the animations you create make my day
YOU LITERALLY HAVE SO MUCH TALENT I LOVE EACH OF YOUR VIDEOS
god this made me cry i dont know why even
It just keeps getting better and better
It's just amazing, I can't find words, how much I admire your style and your animation! I admire you🌠
This is really good, it has a pretty unique energy to it too, compared to the other videos that are a bit more upbeat. Overall, great job :)
i literally can't even explain how pleasing this is to watch YOU'RE AMAZING
bro the art looks amazing and i love the song choices you use!! making some of the frames my desktop wallpaper as i type-
