i think those characters existed before the video, but i think you might be right in the sense that there’s no lore for them (or at least not much). most of the lore is directed at hat and chicken guy i think
I love this cover! i noticed the title and i looked it up, apparently a fictophile is someone who’s attracted to fictional characters throughout the video, Aveline is drawing the other guy a lot, and they tend to be in more romantic scenarios, but it’s obvious that that’s not exactly what he wants(?). It’s like Aveline is in love with a relationship that’s not real! It’s a cool little detail i wanted to mention!
another comment said this song might be about escapism using autistic imagination. the title makes a lot of sense this way, saying that that other character is literally just a figment of their imagination.
@@weirdibibfishiplop3644 although this would make sense, you can see the same guy in the crowd watching her at the start, and iirc he appears in other animation as well.
Just wanted to point out all the bird symbolism, and the shots of Aveline dancing in a cage, she's a caged bird. Seems like she has plenty of musical talent, but the poster says she's "the last voice on earth" so the show biz refuses to let go of her. They keep her chained with drugs and alcohol, and all the while she's in love with this mohawk dude. He doesn't feel the same, so he stays in her fantasies, just out of reach. There's also a poppy and candles 0:55 , has to be death of someone she cared about. That's all the surface stuff I can think of.
I thought the candle was still referencing to drugs since it's needed to cook heroin. And some poppy seed based-food can lead to postive urine drug test for opiates.
This song and animation really spoke to me. The animation and song are very nice. (Infodump warning) I'm autistic, and tend to have a rich inner world where I like to spend my time. A lot of the time I wish I could live there and daydream about being a character in whatever I'm reading/watching/creating. I can't quite put it into words, so all I'll say is this: Thank you for creating this, and I hope I'll be able to make something as brilliant someday.
I'm shocked that almost no one in the comments is talking about all of the visual references to using heroin. At 0:58 for a split-second, you can see a spoon with bubbling liquid and a lighter underneath. Also, there is a quick shot of a syringe and bandages, and possibly a poppy flower (what heroin is made from). The main character here is also seen with injuries all over her arms at the end of the animation. Brilliant animation by the way. I think these visuals fit the theme of addiction to escape perfectly.
She said it's not my fault That it all fell down So close your windows, lock your doors I can't help feeling I'm forgetting something You used to paint me pictures now You only paint my wall I'm worried that I've started something Built on lies and alcohol I want to sit down on the floor Become a worn out metaphor But still there's something, probably nothing That brings a phaser to my door I used to count the times that I've woken up past ten I tell myself what's done is done But I don't know what I'll drink next week again I suggest we let things rest Till I come down or until you drown Cause you're all I've got left in this town And I need time and you need wine So grab a jacket, grab your phone I've heard it's pretty cold outside I suggest we let things rest Till I come down or until you drown Cause you're all I've got left in this town And I need time and you need wine So grab a jacket, grab your phone I've heard it's pretty cold outside
As someone who has practically lived off of fictional crushes for years... It can feel like a high when it hits just right, and it can get you through stressful times, but it can also feel so...emotional. Like you're standing in a wedding dress, sobbing, wishing for a future with someone who you can barely hug. This is a fantastic animation to stumble onto.
I see it as a defense mechanism. Your interpretation of the character is an extension of yourself. To be able to tell yourself to keep moving is needed in an increasingly isolated world. Seeming unified, but breaking apart inside is worse than seeming separate, but being unified inside. Heck, you could even call it an art form.

This is what i imagine a cartoon looks like in the Scott Pilgrim comics. Also HOLY SHIT fucking BEAUTIFUL art. Stellar animation. I love the character designs. This made my day as weird as that might sound.
You know what time it is !!! Time to analyze: . At the beginning, "Aveline" (in quotes because I think Aveline represents you, or at least a part of you) is clearly a performer. She enjoys it, she's having a blast she's up in the air about it, getting drunk and being reckless. Around about 40 seconds, Aveline is trying to sleep cuz she needs to rest from this whole thing. However, she is dragged out of bed by a cane that kinda reminds me of a one that a Ring Leader would own, pulled back to perform when she really doesn't want to. Not too long after, she's on stage, and the attention that she thought she so enjoyed was overwhelming, too many people watching except one that was seen earlier, kinda looking apathetic? Bored? Whatever the emotion is, he doesn't give that same attention to Aveline like everyone else; however, you could argue that he doesn't really give her any attention at all, or at least not the type that she wants? Not too sure about that. Because in the video, he does give her attention on some romantic level, but it seems almost base level. She continues to perform tho it's wearing her out. She gets into some sort of relationship with the guy; she's getting attention but she's not getting the type she really needs. It hurts, she's in a wedding dress, she loves this dude so much like she could marry him, yet all he can do is give a blank face and hug her, and he isn't in a tux. The feelings are not mutual in terms of intensity. Also, he doesn't seem very talkative at all !! All she can do is keep on doing what she does even tho it's killing her on the inside. It's all she has left in this life of hers, and even though it hurts and it sucks, what else can she truly turn to, yk? _Fictophilia, fictosexuality and fictoromance - the intense and enduring emotional attachment, love, infatuation or desire that individuals experience for fictional characters._ I can see this in two ways. One, Aveline is attracted to someone (the guy) who is not real and is in her head. A figment of someone she can't even properly imagine but it gives her a very small semblance of balance in her life. But because he is not real, she knows she cannot truly be with him, which is why he is not very talkative or expressive, because those words and expressions would not be real, but god she wishes they were. Two, this person is real but not ... 'real' in the sense that they can properly have a connection. She just has an image of who this person really is and knows nothing else about them/cannot connect to them on a deeper level. They feel fictional. Fake. Real but fake. Either which way, though, this person is kind of an escape in a backhanded kind of way to run away from the reality of repetitive, draining, stressful performance. But ... yk. It's kinda backfired, I guess? From how I see her crying hard trying to get him to understand how she feels . Naturally, I will transpose this analysis to ... well, I think you know me well enough to know what it is I'm going to be thinking of with this information. Hat. Ik we have not spoken in a while but I still think about you, I'm glad you're still around, and I really hope that you can truly feel better. My discord is always open
I went to go chop vegetables and realized that I forgot that uhhhh Discord isn't really a thing right now, huh--- WELL!! Instagram is still there. Plus, if you ever decide to return to Discord, my point stands. Man, why is it so cold in Norway in the SUMMER
this video triggered a euphoric reaction in me. words can't describe how much I absolutely adore this song, and this animation. truly, it is one of the best videos I have ever watched on this website. I wish to make something half as incredible as this video one day. god I need more music like this 😭 ITS SOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOD OMGGGGGGGG
just came back to this again, can't get over the animation quality and art, this is actually phenomenal. i wanna care about these characters and i dont even know what the hell is going on. amazing work, never doubt your skills when you've created art like this.
i dont see enough comments talking about how smooth and detailed the video is!!! the cover is amazing and the animation style is so captivating! i love the camera movements ITS SO GOOD!!!!!
This is such an incredible animation omg, I'm so happy it popped up in my recommended. I'm gonna go spend the next half hour watching this on repeat, don't mind me-
This is some of the best animation I've seen in a while. I love how the characters turn from sketchy notebook art into proper clean animation and back again.
I picked up animating again, I’m doing a uncleaned 30 second clip and the first 9 seconds have already taken me 2 days of free time, imagine how long this took
First time i watched it i thought her relationship was real. but its strike me when i realize that he was fictional and she was all alone dying by overdosing. Man.
The terrifying, bittersweet embrace of a waking dream, in requiem. Always a cold reality- But perhaps a connection slowly creeping us further away from the material world, but far closer to a “truth”. Thank you for this. 😌
Yk, i posted a whole analysis and it just occurred to me that I never told you how i feel about the animation itself I've ben watching yo shit for the past 3 to 4 years (crazy), and every time you come out with something, there's something improved and more polished. The animation is literal eye candy and I'm proud of you
Dude this some s tier level animation, im a sucker for good animation and its what I Ike the most about art and UR AANIMATION IS GOD TIER STUFF ITS SO FLUID BUT ITS OWN THING, YET SO AMAZING
okay ngl i initially wrote this off but there is so much love and effort put into this story of a character i never even knew it's hard not to really enjoy this

God the animation is absolutely gorgeous, I’ve gone through this frame by frame a few times to really take it all in and EIJJDNGJISDNGIJSNDINGUIS ITS INCREDIBLE!! Everything is so bouncy and smooth & the black and white colour palette is so striking! And the music is fantastic as well! Did you sing the cover yourself? I tried looking it up after first watching this but I couldn’t find it anywhere
Ive been following your stuff for a decent while on reddit and when this got recommended to me i was shocked at how good it is, i never expected you'd be as good an animator as an artist. Keep up the amazing work!
Randomly found this channel and now I'm exploring your website, the amount of passion that went into this and some of the website I've explored made me so intrigue of your work! Definitely finding a song of yours I could cover!
I love the song but what happened with your cover of “Head” by Jeff Rosenstock. I couldn’t find it everywhere. Not on NG your archive playlist, or the internet archive. I love your cover of the song and im sad that I can’t find it. Is there an archive of it somewhere that I don’t know about? Ps: I tried the website for anything and there’s nothing, also Apple Music and Spotify had nothing
The animation for this is so cool. I love the bird and jail motifs, especially the way that the windows shadow near the start looks like jail bars. Birds are so frequently associated with freedom, and the way that she stares at the little dancing bird in the bath and later the bird is in the crosshairs? Delicious.
I’ve rewatched this so many times in the past two days, the distinct art style, dynamic direction, fantastic song, smoother than butter animation, and beyond that a mastery of the art of storytelling. A minute and a half long masterpiece if you ask me!
The animation is so good!! The movements are so smooth and the timing is really well done. I love the scratchy sketchbook feel with the thick lines! I NEED MORE THICK LINED ART!!!!!
As a Fictoromantic, it's really interesting to see media even relating to such things, because for whatever reason it isn't really spoken of in society a lot. And to top it all off it's a banger LiteralHat song too
ive watched this on loop so many times its so perfect from the cover to the way the hair is colored and how it transitions from one scene to another aaaaaaaa

You know what time it is !!!
Time to analyze:
.
At the beginning, "Aveline" (in quotes because I think Aveline represents you, or at least a part of you) is clearly a performer. She enjoys it, she's having a blast she's up in the air about it, getting drunk and being reckless. Around about 40 seconds, Aveline is trying to sleep cuz she needs to rest from this whole thing.

_Fictophilia, fictosexuality and fictoromance - the intense and enduring emotional attachment, love, infatuation or desire that individuals experience for fictional characters._
I can see this in two ways.
One, Aveline is attracted to someone (the guy) who is not real and is in her head. A figment of someone she can't even properly imagine but it gives her a very small semblance of balance in her life. But because he is not real, she knows she cannot truly be with him, which is why he is not very talkative or expressive, because those words and expressions would not be real, but god she wishes they were.

YESSS FHSHGSGSGSHA /TwT\
God this was worth all the wait I love this so much, so rarely I get THIS feeling that just >,w,< thank you for your great work !!
God the animation is absolutely gorgeous, I’ve gone through this frame by frame a few times to really take it all in and EIJJDNGJISDNGIJSNDINGUIS ITS INCREDIBLE!! Everything is so bouncy and smooth & the black and white colour palette is so striking! And the music is fantastic as well! Did you sing the cover yourself? I tried looking it up after first watching this but I couldn’t find it anywhere
Really, the use of black and white coloring in this animation is masterful. Been looking at it since yesterday.
Ive been following your stuff for a decent while on reddit and when this got recommended to me i was shocked at how good it is, i never expected you'd be as good an animator as an artist. Keep up the amazing work!
Randomly found this channel and now I'm exploring your website, the amount of passion that went into this and some of the website I've explored made me so intrigue of your work! Definitely finding a song of yours I could cover!
UA-cam recommended just slapped me with this banger.
I’m in love with this animation. It’s so fluid and stylized I can’t stop looking at it.
This song is super nostalgic for me for some reason
Me being extremely happy realizing literalhat posted. These are always amazing
THIS IS SO COOL!! love your art!
The music Is so nice, the quality/effects on the song, the butter smooth animation, the artstyle... everything about this video Is perfect.
God, I just love your animations!
It's always an event for me when you upload
I love the song but what happened with your cover of “Head” by Jeff Rosenstock. I couldn’t find it everywhere. Not on NG your archive playlist, or the internet archive. I love your cover of the song and im sad that I can’t find it. Is there an archive of it somewhere that I don’t know about?
Ps: I tried the website for anything and there’s nothing, also Apple Music and Spotify had nothing
Yes!! I have been looking for it and also found nothing:( I was hoping for someone to also comment on this. I really liked the cover.
to anyone wondering, around 1:19 is the time where you can see the frame where she has a gun to her head if you pause in time.
actually it seems as if someone is pointing a gun to her head
The animation for this is so cool. I love the bird and jail motifs, especially the way that the windows shadow near the start looks like jail bars. Birds are so frequently associated with freedom, and the way that she stares at the little dancing bird in the bath and later the bird is in the crosshairs? Delicious.
I’ve rewatched this so many times in the past two days, the distinct art style, dynamic direction, fantastic song, smoother than butter animation, and beyond that a mastery of the art of storytelling. A minute and a half long masterpiece if you ask me!
my dyslexic ass thought the poster said avril levigne an I almost lost it
around 2 hours ago i didnt know anything about this channel
*now i studied the whole lore*
The animation is so good!! The movements are so smooth and the timing is really well done. I love the scratchy sketchbook feel with the thick lines! I NEED MORE THICK LINED ART!!!!!
INCREDIBLE ANIMATION!
i need a full version of this incredible cover,,
You cooked 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯‼️‼️
Wow that's awesome :D 👍
Love the animation and stylings and it takes me back to the 2000's era Flash animations (but like the rare really well animated fluent ones)
ME LIKE THIS :D BTW MY FAV VID IS RUN RABBIT RUN!!
this is so powerful
I hope this creator would be famous! Nice animation and very cool rock!!
this animation is literally like panty and stocking level love it
As a Fictoromantic, it's really interesting to see media even relating to such things, because for whatever reason it isn't really spoken of in society a lot. And to top it all off it's a banger LiteralHat song too
Maybe because being attracted to fictional characters is a sign of mental illness?
Oh God, Aveline...
I love this art style so much
Been repeating this for 3 weeks lol

this video really speaks to me i don’t even know how to say anything about it i just love it so much
