OKAY DETAILED SUMMARY HERE (BEWARE ITS LIKE LONG 👹🌺✨) Thank you for watching!! Here it is ↓ ↓ ↓ (1/2) When on the streets Todd usually hanged around communities as most of the loners do around there with not really having a place to belong. One day how ever todd noticed another kid while at the meet ups, it was a plus to him it was someone his age and was surprised to had never see before. Hoping to befriend him todd tries to appear friendly but that only warded off the other kid even faster. Having noticed he never took any rations Todd thought he would go to his own lil food source he found and offer it to him, it worked when it lead to them trying to get more apples from the tree and todd falling out of it. It made the other laugh which Todd was grateful for. Upon their first true conversation Todd learns how the boy also wished things would be different here, that it would change for everyone- and to know someone who dreamed like him was a new feeling. From there Todd and the boy (who he found out was called Varian) slowly started to linger around each other, at first it was just somehow meeting each frequently (kind of- Todd did kind of tracked him down sometimes) to just always meeting at a certain time somewhere. That lead to them just finally deciding to become travelling companions. It was delightful for Todd to have someone he could play with, to call a friend. The same was for Varian as he didn’t form any of social acquaintances, even with the nicest communities around there like Todd at least had done. It was well though, they scraped by and were okay and could rely on each other and that was all they needed. However in their Kingdom there lies many issues, but one thing every lower class citizen is terrified of is the guards. Todd had seen before what they’ve done and will do and knows to not mess with them. Varian was unbeknownst to that unspoken rule as he tried to get his own rations- but with a guard thinking he was getting seconds he called him out. Varian could only stay quiet but knew he was not at fault for that, The guard got annoyed with the lack of communication seeing it as a sign of disrespect however- taking his spear and swung. Todd turned his head when he heard Varian cry out- seeing him on the ground with a gash in his leg, blood spattered on the dirt. He ran to him, profusely apologizing to the guard as he begged the taller man to forgive him, trying to drag varian away- The guard only huffed as he went and focused on some other group to hand food. Todd of course panicking took Varian to a small group he thought could help- They could only do so much though as the the gash was deep and tried to sanitize and stitch it closed. After bandaging him the best advice they could give was to just stay still and don’t reopen it. Varian wasn’t comfortable staying with these people but Todd still somehow managed to convince him. That plan was ruined however when another one of those days came, Todd was unsure why it happened but he knew it was today with seeing so many panicked like last time, he was sure that it was the crowd reacting to what they just saw and running away hiding. Even the community they were staying with left their spot to hide and run away. So with waking Varian up and urging him to get up and come with him- they tried to sneak to near their Tree which was the only place Todd could think of. They didn’t get far as Varian’s wound was reopened. All the excess moving started making him bleed out and the pain was too much, he felt like passing out. Todd felt helpless as he tried to get Varian up after he collapsed, but noticed over looming figures above him fly by. “There here-” he thought, quickly unfurling his wings and grabbing Varian to hide themselves with hovering his wings on top of them. He started feeling Varian's wavered breathing slow down- becoming quieter and quieter. He was really panicking now- what the hell should he do?? Try to move him?? Go back and get supplies and come back?? What if something happens when he is gone??? He can’t leave him- what should he do?? Feeling frustrated and scared Todd cries out for help- hoping someone would come back for them, he can’t carry Varian on his own. He quickly regretted that decision though remembering his circumstance- it was too late however as he felt an over looming figure, seeing the ground get darker under him. He looked up to see a guard- one much bigger than them. She didn’t have a weapon but that doesn’t mean she couldn’t kill them still. He was anxious but desperate, so so desperate to keep him alive. “Are you going to hurt us?” he asked- not shakily but definitely in a tone of fear. The guard over looked them, giving a look Todd couldn’t understand. She reached down however- grabbing Varian in a flash and walking away- Todd scrambled up as he grabbed on to Varian's hand, attempting to pull back- “NO! PLEASE- ” he cried- he felt it as the guard stopped, turning to him with that look again. “Do you think you can you keep up with me?” she said as she lifted up her wings, Todd knew what she meant, and wasn’t really sure he if could but nodded. “Yes, ma’am.” he replied quietly with all the respect he could give and unfurled his wings too. Varian woke up in somewhere new- it was bright. He noticed Todd besides him, he looked tired but happy to see him. He noticed his leg felt sore though- it hurt to move it.
(2/2) Todd explained how they were now in the main Capital region and the situation with the guard and everything. They were expected to become trained for exchange of their medical help. And that they were thrown into- from being educated to learning how to fight and fly. They never really made friends with anyone there- they couldn’t trust any other guard but only kept that to themselves. The only one they did trust was Solaris- the one who took Varian. Todd learned to look up to her and for advice and training. The years passed however as they grew up, eventually falling in love over time and it was peaceful. It ate at them though knowing that the people they used to be around is still down there, suffering. They were grateful for what they had now but they knew it wasn’t right, so in their years they always made plans and possible ways to improve their Kingdom, hoping to somehow put it to play but they just didn’t have that much power yet, no where to propose their ideas to. Though Varian one day overheard some of the higher ranking guards talking of plans for the Sovereign looking for an understudy- a protégé of sorts for themselves by looking for younger individuals here. He took note of how they said it seemed too early for his career as the latest King to be taking a protégé. But Varian pondered on this for days, realizing how much influence such a position might have- far more than just a guard. He could input their ideas he and Todd worked on for years here if he was under the wing of the highest power and maybe change some ways around here- ecstatic he told Todd what he wished to do. Todd of course supported him, helping in any way he could. Varian started to hurl himself in his studies and work even more than ever, thinking that the Sovereign would want someone knowledgeable. His leg was a bit damaged so he wasn’t as good as fighting as Todd was- Todd always joked how he would be his royal knight or something. Varian was right though- there was official news three months later of how they were searching for candidates for the Sovereign to judge and choose, and when that list came out Varian saw in the 6 rows of possible candidates his own name. He ran to tell Todd the news, both so ecstatic for the first step in their dream. The day came as Varian had to go meet the Sovereign, while getting ready with the outfit given to him he could feel his nerves eating at him- all his doubts in his mind bundling up. Todd could sense it as he tried to joke around, but also giving him assurance of how he’s got this, and with how hard he’s worked for this there is no way he would fail. Varian felt relieved to have his partner with him in that moment- giving his last hug for luck before he was escorted to the main building of the capital. That would be the last Todd would see of him for 2 days. Todd could only wait, but he always checked around the main building of the capital for any sign for him. One day however Varian came back to their room- Todd felt relief wash over him as he went to greet him, seeing three extra gold bands on his arm and congratulating him on succeeding, telling how proud he was in joy and excitement. Varian acted the same as before but seemed quieter to Todd though, he knew his pupils hardly ever dilated unlike his which he has no control over- but even then Varian would relax his eyes around him at least sometimes. The interaction was brief though when Varian said he had to go back to the main building and came to get something. Todd thought it would be their papers but it was instead clothes. Todd didn’t say anything, something felt off but just said he would try to visit the capital building later so try to meet him, saying bye when Varian shut the door. He stomach felt wrong somehow. Later Todd did go scout the building after training with Solaris- he saw Varian outside but he was accompanied by some personal guards. They looked ready to fight, Todd wasn’t sure what to fight what until he saw someone on the ground, they looked injured. He watched as Varian nodded and one of the guards started going towards the guy who started to try and scramble away. Todd knew it was going to far- Varian isn’t like this. He rushed to land down between the two people and ordered for Varian to stop- asking what happened to push him this far. Varian looked pissed from the disturbance of the moment as he said with poison from his mouth to “dispose of him”. That took Todd aback, confused and bewildered, but as he saw the guards change their target to him at once he looked back at Varian for answers- he only saw his expression that looked filled with hatred. “He’s serious…” Todd thought, he had to leave, so he took off at once. It wasn’t long before he could see the three guards behind him, he knew two of them had elliptical wings so he knew he could out pace them- the one in front has wings like his and that was the issue. With nothing to defend himself with Todd knew his only option was to run- possibly tire the other out? He wanted to get distance first so he tried to dive and get into a better air current, the other did the same as soon as he went. But Todd wasn’t wary of their weapon when the other knew he wouldn’t catch up so instead halted and took the shot. It was a second later when Todd felt a piercing pain and felt his wing lodge when he tried to move it. He was going to crash, he knew this- he could only try to glide himself to the nearest island of land. It did not help with only one functional wing, hitting the ground hard- and soon follow the other guard and his acquainted. Everything quickly went black for him. Todd then woke up, as if he had slept a thousand years. He felt the dirt and rocks he was on before with something soft, it was dark too. He felt his wings being restricted and at once his memory came back to life suddenly remembering what just happened too, even with his head pounding- he was still alive though so they must be looking for him. “I have to leave” he thought as he lifted himself up, an immediate regretful decision as his body screamed at him, feeling his arms shake from the forceful job of holding himself up. It was too much, he was going to throw up-pass out, something. He heard a creak to his left though as he turned to look- prepared mentally for the worst, but only saw a woman he’s never seen before standing there looking worried. “Oh” he thought as he felt himself collapsing- “it’s just a lady...huh” he plopped down on the bed again as he heard distant talking that seemed to be for him. He didn’t stay awake long enough to find out. OKAY THATS IT BYE
@@bonxxii This is so amazing. Even though it took a while to read im still majorly hooked and want more. This world you've built sounds fascinating an jus,,,, poor todd deserves the world *insert crying emoj here yesyes*
The betrayal of a best friend, lover, because of power and corruption is heartbreaking. This is so meaningful and so sad, thank you so much for making this.
Alternate ending: “dispose of him” as the guards walked towards him, Todd didn’t try to run or fly away. Instead he looked Varian in the eyes hoping he would find any sign of the old Varian he had loved since they were kids and waited for the guards to come. As the guards started to pummel Todd into the ground, all of their memories together started pouring into Varian’s head. Just as a guard was about to deliver the final blow, Todd let out a horse “I love you” that was filled with so much passion and emotion and sadness that the guard almost hesitated before stabbing their spear into Todd’s chest. “WAIT! STOP!” screamed Varian, as he realized that he was about to watch the death of the love of his life, but it was to late. Varian rushed over to Todd’s lifeless body, and realized what he had become. “leave…” Varian quietly said to the guards, as tears poured down his face. The guards looked to one another, and protested “but sir-“ “LEAVE.” Screamed Varian as he collapsed over Todd’s body. The guards flew away quickly, and left Varian to cry over Todd’s body throughout the night until their wasn’t a drop of liquid left in his body, and then he held Todd’s body in his arms and leaped over the edge of the pavilion and fell trough the sky never even trying to unfurl his wings.
@@lisahowes4099 Varian tells the guards to get Todd. They start to swarm him and just as he's being taken to the floor, he whispers "please.." Varian has flashbacks of his childhood and history with Todd, and has second thoughts. He yells for the guards to stop but it's too late, Todd's been stabbed. Varian tells the gaurds to leave and rushes to Todd's side. Todd lays on the ground trembling and holding his gut, trying to stop the blood. Varian wraps Todd in his arms and sobs. "I'm so sorry, love!" He cries. Todd closes his eyes and smile to himself a moment, then opens his eyes to look at Varian. "I- I'm sure you had a r-reason.." he says. Varian shakes his head and squeezes his eyes shut. Todd's lips begin to tremble and he feels himself slipping away. "Somebody help us!" Screams Varian. Todd smiles weakly and pulls Varian down to kiss him. "Two.. birds, on a wire.." Todd whispers. Frantic, Varian tries to get Todd up, saying "come on!" Todd takes Varians hand and says "I'm tired..." Varian sinks to his knees again and his vision begins to blur with tears. "I love you, I'm so sorry.." he cries. "I- I know... I... Love you too, Vinny." Todd's eyes close and his hand falls to the ground. Varian sits in silence holding Todd for quite awhile, long after the warmth, all signs that life once existed has left Todd's body. Finally, he's given up. He no longer cares. He takes the nearest weapon he can find and makes his way to the capital, where he murders whoever's in charge, and is later executed. His last words are "We'll meet at our favorite tree, My Love."
I know this is a year old but APOLOGY VIDEO WITH TEARS *NOW.* /j Seriously, the storytelling and animation are phenomenal though. I really like seeing what people do with their interpretation of Two Birds, and your story is absolutely a favorite.
This was so cute, but sad at the same time😢 The drawings were really cute, and the animations on that flying scene near the end was done greatly! Good job😊
A story of love and betrayal for corruption and power. What an amazing animatic and wonderful storytelling. This is a really good look into really deep emotions between some characters and I really love that. Good job on making this, I love it to bits!
okay but the second vinny said "dispose him" i started sobbing and iv watched it like 4 more times just crying, wow. this is an amazing story and i see how much time you put into making it :)
How could I be so happy and cry within 3 fucking minutes?? This is beautiful. At first, I thought you had chosen the wrong song since it looked only like the story of a lovey dovey couple (super cute tho) but when Varian got brainwashed..... Oh lord. I cried a lot but also enjoyed it. Love your work, keep working, you do it great
@@babygoat6067 wdym- like when Todd woke up? Or what happened to Varian. Idrk how todd woke up and got back to that place- same as why Varian "turned" If u read bonxxii's summary/what happened(in the pinned comment)(part 2 in the reply) then that's all the info bonxxii can give out as of now.
This was amazing! I'm already hooked, and this is only the first episode! I'm also addicted to this song by Regina Spektor now. I've been listening to it on repeat for the last few days.
this is amazing. You can see the heartache in Todd's eyes when his lover tried to dispose of him. I feel like the Queen had something to do with this feral transformation but I can't wait to see more of this
@Ğöñ§Šłāvə That's what I thought. Think about it: "And the other......." Like, I'm assuming the one that tried to fly away was the traitor, but the other might have died but they simplified it so it cut off but you still got the base idea
@Ğöñ§Šłāvə basically they kinda simplified the other one dying by cutting off the last part but you still know what happened with the other context going on. Even more simplified: The part where it went "and the other......" Could be referred to the other one dying of injuries and the one who "flew away" surviving Even EVEN more simplified: One flew away from death, but the other couldn't and ended up dying. "One tried to fly away" one tried to conquer death and won "And the other....." The other surrendered to what was going to happen and accepted their sad fate.
I love this so much! The plot and art are amazing and thank you for the summary :) and the characters look so good and I managed to grow an attachment to them in like 3 mins. This matched the music perfectly too!
I’m literally so invested in this, it’s becoming a problem. You did so well in writing and thinking this out it’s so amazing!!! I swear this should be a book, I’d read it trillions of times over again. Take a sub and keep on going!! This was really impressive!!
I need more of this!!! This was painfully beautiful and I’m already extremely invested in this story!! Absolutely gorgeous characters you should make a full comic, I’d totally read that the SECOND more came out lol 😄💜👌
I love the summary, I watched it after reading, i cried through all of it, this is great, please keep posting, your animations are a work of art, and keep practicing! And please make a part two of this, i just cant stop watching this its just a masterpiece. -Lyra-
Help this is the first video I’ve watched of yours and I’ve rewatched this three times First time was just because I just discovered the song and was curious how the animatic related to it Second was after I read the summary and paused every second to admire the art Third was me crying and watching it all together My heart hurts, thank you
You put so much detail and effort into this animation! I love the creativity and story behind this song. You have made another thing my brother and I can bond over and thats amazing animation!!!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCHHHH! Keep up the good work and don't stress too much!!
Two birds on a wire One tries to fly away And the other watches him close from that wire He says he wants to as well But he is a liar I'll believe it all There's nothing I won't understand I'll believe it all I won't let go of your hand Two birds on a wire One says c'mon and the other says "I'm tired" The sky is overcast and I'm sorry One more or one less Nobody's worried I'll believe it all There's nothing I won't understand I'll believe it all I won't let go of your hand Two birds of a feather Say that they're always gonna stay together But one's never going to let go of that wire He says that he will But he's just a liar Two birds on a wire One tries to fly away and the other Watches him close from that wire He says he wants to as well, but he is a liar Two birds on a wire One tries to fly away and the other
The end is just so magical the scene the feeling that's been pushed into the end it's just so amazing 🥲and also I love the song it brings out more feelings for the story and I had a little I dunno relate to it :)
I found this earlier and I instantly knew that I would be emotionally invested in this story for the rest of time. My friend agreed with me. And let me just say that I absolutely LOVE characters that have wings. There's not nearly enough in fiction, so I had to go create my own OC. She's honestly my favourite, and the dynamic she has with her best friend is just amazing. The amount of trauma and problems she has tho... Mmmmmm yeah that's not good But this... This is on a completely other _level,_ it's so amazing! I can't wait to see more in the future, and I binged your entire channel already haha.
This is the best animatic I’ve ever seen. The most heartbreaking, and the most beautiful one. The betrayal of a lover, a bestie, a person you love is the saddest thing ever 💔
This melted my heart. A lot. Watching the other parts made me also melt with sadness, I though could not watch 6 and 7 but…it is 2024 and I will always remember this video and how much it changed me and my eyes. I hope others enjoyed this as much as i did… THEORY TIME!; the person who made Varian powerful manipulated him into thinking that Todd did something OR, the person per swayed Varian that Todd was not good.
This is adorable and I have an idea for the next one: It could be an AU where music is popular and two broke boys(Todd and Vivian) are trying to make music but are struggling to think of lyrics and music. Then, one day, they’re flying with their friends and Todd starts free styling. When Todd and Vivian get home, Vivian asks him to sing the song again while he works on some music to fit it. The song is: Rio hot wings
This is seriously one of my favorite songs. It can have so many different meanings yet they all match up at one point! Also your art is freakin amazing! How did you get that good?!
I love that they have feather marks on their backs where the wings pop up, I also really like the clothing design. I think that the angle of the shots (the pov) is quite nice as well. You did really good and I enjoyed watching this ^^
As an artist myself, and having an icon to represent myself with wings for my channel this slapped so Hard! I love it so much and I am totally subbing to join the ride. I love this! Will this be a series or will there be a part 2?? I gotta know!
Me encantó!! 🥺✨ Pero fue triste a la vez 😭💔 En la parte de la explicación que dice "No se quedó despierto el tiempo suficiente para averiguarlo" 1-Quiere decir que murió? 😥 2-O quedó inconciente? si es está segunda opción podrías hacer parte 2 si es que hay? :'D
Hello! So I cannot say how many times I have watched this animatic and the other lore animatics for Todd and varían, they are too much, I love them with everything I have and I love your style and your story creation. Love it so much i’ve been inspired to write a story with a similar play through, of course with my own personal twists, different names, different appearances, etc. Of course, I’d hate to just do it without your permission as it’s originally, your idea. So I’d like to ask. Would you be alright with me writing a story based off of this and posting it on a site like wattpad? I’d of course give credit to you for the inspiration. It’s alright if you say no of course, I’d perfectly understand. Anyways, love your art, and the story. Can’t wait to see what you create next
i have only known these two character for 3 minutes and 26 seconds, but if anything happened to them id k word everyone in the room and then myself i am in love with how you told this story of betrayal and how power corrupts even the deepest emotional and longest of relationships
OKAY DETAILED SUMMARY HERE (BEWARE ITS LIKE LONG 👹🌺✨) Thank you for watching!! Here it is ↓ ↓ ↓
(1/2)
When on the streets Todd usually hanged around communities as most of the loners do around there with not really having a place to belong. One day how ever todd noticed another kid while at the meet ups, it was a plus to him it was someone his age and was surprised to had never see before. Hoping to befriend him todd tries to appear friendly but that only warded off the other kid even faster. Having noticed he never took any rations Todd thought he would go to his own lil food source he found and offer it to him, it worked when it lead to them trying to get more apples from the tree and todd falling out of it. It made the other laugh which Todd was grateful for. Upon their first true conversation Todd learns how the boy also wished things would be different here, that it would change for everyone- and to know someone who dreamed like him was a new feeling.
From there Todd and the boy (who he found out was called Varian) slowly started to linger around each other, at first it was just somehow meeting each frequently (kind of- Todd did kind of tracked him down sometimes) to just always meeting at a certain time somewhere. That lead to them just finally deciding to become travelling companions. It was delightful for Todd to have someone he could play with, to call a friend. The same was for Varian as he didn’t form any of social acquaintances, even with the nicest communities around there like Todd at least had done. It was well though, they scraped by and were okay and could rely on each other and that was all they needed.
However in their Kingdom there lies many issues, but one thing every lower class citizen is terrified of is the guards.

Varian woke up in somewhere new- it was bright. He noticed Todd besides him, he looked tired but happy to see him. He noticed his leg felt sore though- it hurt to move it.
(2/2)
Todd explained how they were now in the main Capital region and the situation with the guard and everything. They were expected to become trained for exchange of their medical help. And that they were thrown into- from being educated to learning how to fight and fly. They never really made friends with anyone there- they couldn’t trust any other guard but only kept that to themselves. The only one they did trust was Solaris- the one who took Varian. Todd learned to look up to her and for advice and training. The years passed however as they grew up, eventually falling in love over time and it was peaceful. It ate at them though knowing that the people they used to be around is still down there, suffering. They were grateful for what they had now but they knew it wasn’t right, so in their years they always made plans and possible ways to improve their Kingdom, hoping to somehow put it to play but they just didn’t have that much power yet, no where to propose their ideas to.

It was a second later when Todd felt a piercing pain and felt his wing lodge when he tried to move it. He was going to crash, he knew this- he could only try to glide himself to the nearest island of land. It did not help with only one functional wing, hitting the ground hard- and soon follow the other guard and his acquainted. Everything quickly went black for him.
Todd then woke up, as if he had slept a thousand years. He felt the dirt and rocks he was on before with something soft, it was dark too. He felt his wings being restricted and at once his memory came back to life suddenly remembering what just happened too, even with his head pounding- he was still alive though so they must be looking for him. “I have to leave” he thought as he lifted himself up, an immediate regretful decision as his body screamed at him, feeling his arms shake from the forceful job of holding himself up. It was too much, he was going to throw up-pass out, something. He heard a creak to his left though as he turned to look- prepared mentally for the worst, but only saw a woman he’s never seen before standing there looking worried. “Oh” he thought as he felt himself collapsing- “it’s just a lady...huh” he plopped down on the bed again as he heard distant talking that seemed to be for him. He didn’t stay awake long enough to find out.
OKAY THATS IT BYE

Alternate ending: “dispose of him” as the guards walked towards him, Todd didn’t try to run or fly away. Instead he looked Varian in the eyes hoping he would find any sign of the old Varian he had loved since they were kids and waited for the guards to come. As the guards started to pummel Todd into the ground, all of their memories together started pouring into Varian’s head. Just as a guard was about to deliver the final blow, Todd let out a horse “I love you” that was filled with so much passion and emotion and sadness that the guard almost hesitated before stabbing their spear into Todd’s chest. “WAIT! STOP!” screamed Varian, as he realized that he was about to watch the death of the love of his life, but it was to late. Varian rushed over to Todd’s lifeless body, and realized what he had become. “leave…” Varian quietly said to the guards, as tears poured down his face. The guards looked to one another, and protested “but sir-“ “LEAVE.” Screamed Varian as he collapsed over Todd’s body. The guards flew away quickly, and left Varian to cry over Todd’s body throughout the night until their wasn’t a drop of liquid left in his body, and then he held Todd’s body in his arms and leaped over the edge of the pavilion and fell trough the sky never even trying to unfurl his wings.
NO STOP THAT'S SADDER THAN THIS ENDING OH GOD-
@@naturebrod1759 tehe 🤭
@@lisahowes4099 I have a spinoff of your thing.
@@lisahowes4099 Varian tells the guards to get Todd. They start to swarm him and just as he's being taken to the floor, he whispers "please.."
Varian has flashbacks of his childhood and history with Todd, and has second thoughts. He yells for the guards to stop but it's too late, Todd's been stabbed. Varian tells the gaurds to leave and rushes to Todd's side. Todd lays on the ground trembling and holding his gut, trying to stop the blood. Varian wraps Todd in his arms and sobs. "I'm so sorry, love!" He cries. Todd closes his eyes and smile to himself a moment, then opens his eyes to look at Varian. "I- I'm sure you had a r-reason.." he says. Varian shakes his head and squeezes his eyes shut. Todd's lips begin to tremble and he feels himself slipping away. "Somebody help us!" Screams Varian. Todd smiles weakly and pulls Varian down to kiss him. "Two.. birds, on a wire.." Todd whispers. Frantic, Varian tries to get Todd up, saying "come on!" Todd takes Varians hand and says "I'm tired..." Varian sinks to his knees again and his vision begins to blur with tears. "I love you, I'm so sorry.." he cries. "I- I know... I... Love you too, Vinny." Todd's eyes close and his hand falls to the ground. Varian sits in silence holding Todd for quite awhile, long after the warmth, all signs that life once existed has left Todd's body. Finally, he's given up. He no longer cares. He takes the nearest weapon he can find and makes his way to the capital, where he murders whoever's in charge, and is later executed. His last words are "We'll meet at our favorite tree, My Love."
@@naturebrod1759 I love that! It's so sweet 😭
I know this is a year old but APOLOGY VIDEO WITH TEARS *NOW.* /j
Seriously, the storytelling and animation are phenomenal though. I really like seeing what people do with their interpretation of Two Birds, and your story is absolutely a favorite.
YES
YES WE NEED AN APOLOGY FROM HIM 😢
This was so cute, but sad at the same time😢
The drawings were really cute, and the animations on that flying scene near the end was done greatly! Good job😊
I absolutely love when people do lore animatics of their own characters, I love these two already, great job mate xx
A story of love and betrayal for corruption and power. What an amazing animatic and wonderful storytelling. This is a really good look into really deep emotions between some characters and I really love that. Good job on making this, I love it to bits!
I've only known these characters for four minutes and I'm already emotionally attached to them + crying because of the ending :(
aaaw same
Same
:( Same
all it takes is 3:26 and a sad song to make me cry all night
okay but the second vinny said "dispose him" i started sobbing and iv watched it like 4 more times just crying, wow. this is an amazing story and i see how much time you put into making it :)
this brought me to tears. Your art style is amazing and the way you portray their stories is impeccable. I love your channel, keep up the good work
I agree with Drxma Queen
This is so sweet and sad and every emotion in between-
How could I be so happy and cry within 3 fucking minutes?? This is beautiful. At first, I thought you had chosen the wrong song since it looked only like the story of a lovey dovey couple (super cute tho) but when Varian got brainwashed..... Oh lord. I cried a lot but also enjoyed it. Love your work, keep working, you do it great
IM GLAD YOU LIEKD TI AA A ABA🌺💞🌺💓 Your words are so kind!!! They mean the world thank you sm quq🌺✨
Tbh I think 2 birds fits this song a lot :D
And we don't really know a reason, but I think he may have gotten brainwashed too ^^
I don't understand what happened in the ending, could someone explain???
@@babygoat6067 wdym- like when Todd woke up? Or what happened to Varian.
Idrk how todd woke up and got back to that place- same as why Varian "turned"
If u read bonxxii's summary/what happened(in the pinned comment)(part 2 in the reply) then that's all the info bonxxii can give out as of now.
EUPHORIA
1:35 I watched this video 4821743 times, and I just realized they are still holding hands
YES JUST LIKE THE MUSIC "Won't let go of your hand"
@@nic30reis14 EXACTLY
This was amazing! I'm already hooked, and this is only the first episode! I'm also addicted to this song by Regina Spektor now. I've been listening to it on repeat for the last few days.
Now i would pay to watch an animatic that good
this is amazing. You can see the heartache in Todd's eyes when his lover tried to dispose of him. I feel like the Queen had something to do with this feral transformation but I can't wait to see more of this
This is absolutely astonishing, can‘t wait for the continuation. We just want them to be happy and live in peace… 💗
I am proud to say that I saw this masterpiece two weeks after it was released, and I continue to follow it to this day
This series is something I rewatch maybe every year and DAMN I love it. I love it, I love it.
This song (and consequently the boys) has been stuck in my head since I saw this animatic Two Days Ago and I can't wait to see more of them!!
Damn, I got invested in these characters-
So much emotion crammed into such a short animation and a song
i agree with this comment
I don’t even know these characters but I started crying and gasping so loud 😭😭 YOUR ART STYLE IS AMAZING!
Lol I clicked on this video for the audio but now I’m genuinely intrigued, GOOD JOB THIS LOOKS AMAZING 😻
Holly crap this gave me chills- it’s so good! The story is just *amazing*
me hoping there is going to be a part 2 😭
Oh the next one will be about how much todd loved varian just to make it more emotionally miserable for him in the future animatics 👹

The "Friendship time" part is so adorable!
The end though...
"One tries to fly away~"
"And..The...Other......"
My eyes are just cosplaying a waterfall everything is fine 🙂👍
Togathekiller👀
@@katielowe9640 ÙwÚ
Made me cry tho is just animation 🥲
@Ğöñ§Šłāvə That's what I thought. Think about it: "And the other......."
Like, I'm assuming the one that tried to fly away was the traitor, but the other might have died but they simplified it so it cut off but you still got the base idea
@Ğöñ§Šłāvə basically they kinda simplified the other one dying by cutting off the last part but you still know what happened with the other context going on.
Even more simplified:
The part where it went "and the other......" Could be referred to the other one dying of injuries and the one who "flew away" surviving
Even EVEN more simplified:
One flew away from death, but the other couldn't and ended up dying.
"One tried to fly away" one tried to conquer death and won
"And the other....." The other surrendered to what was going to happen and accepted their sad fate.
If you ever do a continuation of the story then a song idea could be “Flying” by Cody Fry it is a very pretty song
oh bUDDY DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY CODY FRY SONGS I HAVE PLANNED IM SO READY WHEN I GET AROUND TO ANIMATING THEM
@@bonxxii I LOVE CODY FRY CANT WAIT
Best idea!
Please dear lord say Varian is just mind controlled or something because my poor gay soul can’t take this.
if halence was a TV show, i would watch it 24/7 and have posters of it all over my room.
THIS IS SO COOL I HAVE NO WORDS LIKE THE EMOTION DESCRIBED BY A SIMPLE SONG AND THE DRAWINGS ARE JUST ON FLEEK LIKE HOLY MOLY HOW
I love this so much! The plot and art are amazing and thank you for the summary :) and the characters look so good and I managed to grow an attachment to them in like 3 mins. This matched the music perfectly too!
I’m literally so invested in this, it’s becoming a problem. You did so well in writing and thinking this out it’s so amazing!!! I swear this should be a book, I’d read it trillions of times over again. Take a sub and keep on going!! This was really impressive!!
I need more of this!!! This was painfully beautiful and I’m already extremely invested in this story!! Absolutely gorgeous characters you should make a full comic, I’d totally read that the SECOND more came out lol 😄💜👌
This was my childhood fav video coming back and seeing it now is bringing back so many OCS from the past thank you for this masterpiece 🙏💖
I get chills every time I watch this its so well put together.
I swear I'll die of cuteness overload from this
HAGHHAHSHAH
I love the summary, I watched it after reading, i cried through all of it, this is great, please keep posting, your animations are a work of art, and keep practicing! And please make a part two of this, i just cant stop watching this its just a masterpiece. -Lyra-
:(( this hurts my heart but it's so beautiful at the same time.
Thank you!! Im glad you enjoyed it and it hurt your heart!! Just my goal😄💓✨💞
What i expected was a cute fun animation to a song i love. What i did not expect was to end up sobbing and rolled up in a ball. Excellent work!
The fact that I've seen this twice now makes it so much better
Your vids inspire me so much and I love this story PART 2 PLZZZ it is my honor to give you my subscription ♥
Help this is the first video I’ve watched of yours and I’ve rewatched this three times
First time was just because I just discovered the song and was curious how the animatic related to it
Second was after I read the summary and paused every second to admire the art
Third was me crying and watching it all together
My heart hurts, thank you
Its beautiful how art and song can put a story together so wonderfully like that. Well done
IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE (this lore is so amazing and i love it)
You put so much detail and effort into this animation! I love the creativity and story behind this song. You have made another thing my brother and I can bond over and thats amazing animation!!!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCHHHH! Keep up the good work and don't stress too much!!
This is amazing I love all the detail. I did start crying at the end but it was beautiful
THE ANIMATION ON THAT BLINK WHEWWW 1:30
Это превосходно.Анимация довела меня до слёз. Автор ты солнышко💍💜💫👏
✨ FRIENDSHIP TIME ✨
my fav part
Am sad. .
I love storyboarding, ocs and character design. This is perfection I swear. It makes the viewer feel sad and gives a mood. Keep it up
I teared up a bit this was amazing!
THIS IS SICK(In a good way)!!!!! You did amazing!!!!!!
THANK YOU!!%@!^ That means so much!!
“Friendship time👏🤩”
WHY DID I LAUGH SO HARD💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
I’ve seen this ever since it came out and I’m still in love with it💗🌸
Omg, words cannot describe how amazing this is, but i'll try.
These guys broke my heart on a Sunday night, and i love them now
Two birds on a wire
One tries to fly away
And the other watches him close from that wire
He says he wants to as well
But he is a liar
I'll believe it all
There's nothing I won't understand
I'll believe it all
I won't let go of your hand
Two birds on a wire
One says c'mon and the other says "I'm tired"
The sky is overcast and I'm sorry
One more or one less
Nobody's worried
I'll believe it all
There's nothing I won't understand
I'll believe it all
I won't let go of your hand
Two birds of a feather
Say that they're always gonna stay together
But one's never going to let go of that wire
He says that he will
But he's just a liar
Two birds on a wire
One tries to fly away and the other
Watches him close from that wire
He says he wants to as well, but he is a liar
Two birds on a wire
One tries to fly away and the other
the animation looks wayyyy to much good.
One: I am now addicted to the story
Two: this kinda reminds me of the "Maximum Ride" book series
Three: have I mentioned I love the art because I do
The end is just so magical the scene the feeling that's been pushed into the end it's just so amazing 🥲and also I love the song it brings out more feelings for the story and I had a little I dunno relate to it :)
YES! I saw the uncolored version of this a long time ago and I’m so happy I found it again. This is one of my favorite animations I’ve ever seen.
I found this earlier and I instantly knew that I would be emotionally invested in this story for the rest of time.
My friend agreed with me.
And let me just say that I absolutely LOVE characters that have wings. There's not nearly enough in fiction, so I had to go create my own OC. She's honestly my favourite, and the dynamic she has with her best friend is just amazing. The amount of trauma and problems she has tho... Mmmmmm yeah that's not good
But this... This is on a completely other _level,_ it's so amazing! I can't wait to see more in the future, and I binged your entire channel already haha.
Stopppp I don't even know anything else about your OCs but this almost made me cry. It's so well made and sad 😭😭😭
This is the best animatic I’ve ever seen. The most heartbreaking, and the most beautiful one.
The betrayal of a lover, a bestie, a person you love is the saddest thing ever 💔
This melted my heart. A lot. Watching the other parts made me also melt with sadness, I though could not watch 6 and 7 but…it is 2024 and I will always remember this video and how much it changed me and my eyes. I hope others enjoyed this as much as i did…
THEORY TIME!; the person who made Varian powerful manipulated him into thinking that Todd did something OR, the person per swayed Varian that Todd was not good.
IT IS TOO EARLY FOR ME TO BE SOBBING LIKE THIS. Amazing. Gorgeous artwork, too
This is adorable and I have an idea for the next one:
It could be an AU where music is popular and two broke boys(Todd and Vivian) are trying to make music but are struggling to think of lyrics and music. Then, one day, they’re flying with their friends and Todd starts free styling. When Todd and Vivian get home, Vivian asks him to sing the song again while he works on some music to fit it.
The song is: Rio hot wings
I'm really hoping its a friends to enemies to lovers arc
This is seriously one of my favorite songs. It can have so many different meanings yet they all match up at one point! Also your art is freakin amazing! How did you get that good?!
AHHH I WAS LIKE “he’s going to say sorry right? He’s gonna come through that door and have the best explanation on why.. RIGHT?!”
Bro this is Soo cute, bonxii is super talented I LOVE IT SOO MUCH!!!
Me: sad
My eyes: tears
My heart: shattered
Hotel: Trivago
Increadible! Such an interesting story, 👌
This is very beautiful. I love your animation. Thank you very much. Good luck to you!
Bonxxii oc content heals my 2021 heart
I love that they have feather marks on their backs where the wings pop up, I also really like the clothing design. I think that the angle of the shots (the pov) is quite nice as well. You did really good and I enjoyed watching this ^^
As an artist myself, and having an icon to represent myself with wings for my channel this slapped so Hard! I love it so much and I am totally subbing to join the ride. I love this! Will this be a series or will there be a part 2?? I gotta know!
La canción encaja muy bien con animación y la historia.
Todo está excelente. Pero se me rompió el corazón con el final y ahora tengo ganas de llorar.
yo
Me encantó!! 🥺✨
Pero fue triste a la vez 😭💔
En la parte de la explicación que dice "No se quedó despierto el tiempo suficiente para averiguarlo"
1-Quiere decir que murió? 😥
2-O quedó inconciente? si es está segunda opción podrías hacer parte 2 si es que hay? :'D
Man I don't even know what this fandom is but I'm crying so much
Love this more every time I watch it, definitely my top three favourite animatics
This is so good! Keep it up😊
Verga... si me dolió...
Que tan mal puedo estar que me encariñé con unos personajes en tan poco tiempo que ya les estoy derramando lágrimas.
I’m confused, did Varian get brainwashed or did he become greedy?
Power
I’m guessing brainwashed
I have no idea I've been waiting on more uploads to see if there are further hints or he just put right gives us the answer
Yeah like what
I loved how smooth the flying was at the end! This is a great animation I can't stop watching!!!
It's very emotional! I cried a lot, i love the story and character designs!! And... Should i even say about the animation..? IT'S INCREDIBLE!!!
aah the story for this is so well thought out ,, I’m so attached to these characters !! @o@ would you mind if I made fanart for them?

Hello! So I cannot say how many times I have watched this animatic and the other lore animatics for Todd and varían, they are too much, I love them with everything I have and I love your style and your story creation. Love it so much i’ve been inspired to write a story with a similar play through, of course with my own personal twists, different names, different appearances, etc. Of course, I’d hate to just do it without your permission as it’s originally, your idea. So I’d like to ask. Would you be alright with me writing a story based off of this and posting it on a site like wattpad? I’d of course give credit to you for the inspiration. It’s alright if you say no of course, I’d perfectly understand. Anyways, love your art, and the story. Can’t wait to see what you create next
i have only known these two character for 3 minutes and 26 seconds, but if anything happened to them id k word everyone in the room and then myself
i am in love with how you told this story of betrayal and how power corrupts even the deepest emotional and longest of relationships
I am obsessed with this clip thank you for making it. I love it so much
