Luscious vile a maiden bore,
A downright curse within the core.
Yet chance to change that stray the path
Love shall triumph that singe such wrath.
For that of dream does not come true,
She know the pain that must endure.
All that left remained from start,
Of a vile and twisted, wicked heart.
I just saw your comment on In-Between! Lol I love your writing

Her sigh at the end really hit volumes. You can be single and lonely, but spared from heartbreak and drama.
I say this from experience, I agree. It is better to be spared from those rather than being left astray with a shattered spirit and losing hope simultaneously.
@RasVasul I couldn't agree with you more. "It's better to be alone than in bad company" as the saying goes. And in my years of singlehood, I've dodged a number of bullets.
It’s unfortunate how society views single people as inherently “incomplete” or looking for someone.
@@emilykapallen4979 That's stupid of this society to even believe in that notion Idk why people think they NEED to be in a relationship to make themselves whole. Now times have changed with different perspectives. Instead of wanting a life partner, people should take care who they invite into their lives.
It's better to be single and know what you want in life instead of letting others dictate your self-worth. It really depends on where you live and the community around to show you that it's okay to be single. Society should never dictate your needs or wants cause that's how you get lost.
You don't have to read this next part if you don't want to. I'm gonna share a verse from the Bible, and if that makes anyone uncomfortable, please just don't read anymore of it.
when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.
1 Peter 3:2-4 NIV
What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?
Luke 9:25 NIV
It is because of these verses that I've never thought being with someone would make me feel worthy. I've only wanted to be with someone because I get lonely. But I don't need a romantic partner to get rid of that loneliness. Just a friend would be fine.
Society and the world will chase whatever they want. I'm gonna chase what makes me happy; God and my mother are the only ones who have made me feel loved unconditionally when I was a child. True Friendship showed me that there are others who may learn to love me unconditionally.
So be the difference in this world of confusion and uncertainty. show love to your fellow neighbors who live on this earth with you. Kindness goes a long way even to those who who seem impossible to reach like this woman in the animation. To those who kept reading, thank you for taking the time.
to the artist, beautiful animation thank you for this realistic representation of mixing both lust and love, people definitely should know the difference before the latch onto a person. And the whole flare and the women personality shines as spunky and confident. I like that in a villian on film.
Okay, but her makeup routine is something Morticia Addams would absolutely applaud her for, cause I certainly did. It was incredibly creative. Kudos to the way she dealt with the situation, too. Love it.
I like how she's all,
"MUAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAA"
Then she's like,
"Damn I got a problem."
It's kinda like me .-.
Casually rips off spider legs and puts them on eyelid
Seems accurate
I have not tried that makeup tip
Casually squeezes out bug blood and puts it on as lipstick
MadPlayz casually smears bug blood on face
@@SwaggerJoyce Disgusting if you ask me
I believe this is sorta relatable in this way that she was attracted to him physically before even knowing who he was and what was his character. She just had a crush on who he could be not who he was!
She was young and horny and never met a guy. It does not need to be so much more. Character and personality often is less important then. Both for girls and guys.
Tbh, only thing bad about him was that he was in a polygamous relationship
She was infatuated not in love.
2:09 on today’s episode of, “Reverse the roles and you’ve gotta lawsuit.”
I kinda want a sequel for her actually finding someone who likes her back
No, she needs to go WGTOW!!!
She need some damn therapy first for going doll Psychopathic over a guy that doesn't even know she exists an trying to go around killing women
I thought so too.
She needs to go to therapy for murdering someone who dont even know her just because her expectation about him is wrong.
Me too!!!!
Im getting the vibe she fell more in love with his body than anything else
She wanted the D and he had 4 other bchs on it already haha
Alena J. Ravenhorde that’s what I’m thinking
That actually looks like my evil cousin Becca she was a but u still can't judge all witches by some
She did, but she soon realized what kind of person he really was. I'm guessing she never had strong romantic feelings towards ANYONE before and it was just a crush/infatuation
I appreciate how the animation portrays the villain's motivations as small. Heartbreak is significant, but the situation's irrationality reflects real-life behavior. Despite lacking knowledge about him, she reacted irrationally, mirroring actual instances of people acting on tiny triggers. The animation, unintentionally or not, depicts this realism, showing how minor emotions can lead to tragic outcomes.
That little sigh at the end of her evil laugh is what made the character so relatable. Such great acting and appeal!! Love it!
That's why they say "As you get older, You'll realize that disney villains are more relatable than the princesses"
I fucking know right?
@@jessicabraud3307 Yeah, I mean, when you were just a kid, you always thought that life will definitely be simple af. But when you get older, you'll see the other side of the story. And tbh, this doesn't only apply to disney movies but all the villains lol.
Idk man I can't see Frollo being relatable as an adult
@@yeswoo4452 okay, all except Frollo, cause he is disgusting
Like Hades
That final sigh broke my heart.
Cuz she realizes she's still lonely
But why she killed him
The Worst One cause she’s a krazy b***h that’s why.
Am I the only one who just wants to hug her and tell her some inspirational shit?
I'm more sad for the man
Beautiful animation and the plot twist was brilliant. I never knew Gaston had a long lost son.
Not anymore

She really is an evil witch. The guy was minding his own business and living his best life, and she just kills him out of jealousy.

I dont see enough people talking about the beautiful animation! Great job truly with the colors, character designs, facial expressions, the way she turns in to smoke, it's so smooth!

How dare my boyfriend in my head, who I been creeping on while he's minding his naked business and that I've never met, cheat on me with multiple women
Ok ok almost Too funny. Lol
The guy didnt even knew she existed until she burned his face off, he didnt even knew what was happening lol.
Exactly, How dare he !?
More like this dude ain't loyal
@@peripheralblur manwhore? Nah, the guy's a hero and a lady pleaser. Literally first thing we see him do is swing into flames to rescue a chick.
dear artist(s) who worked hard on this, thank you, this is beautiful
This is actually really sad (well, sure, i know! XD), bc it shows how we oftentimes "fall" for someone who doesn't exist. She thought him dreamy, princely and *hers* , but failed to really get to know him for himself. Thus when he was not what she wanted and hoped for, she had the gall to feel betrayed. 👀 Blaming others for not being as *we* want them is soooo wrong.
Other than these two cents of mine, I'd like to say how beautifully this was made.
Man, I feel like the creator of this story may have gone through some pretty bad relationship......
Alice 清 W or creeped on someone changed for them just for them to break their heart....
Fr probably so
Agreed
@@danijay6410 I also like the fact that the creator of Jurrasic Park just wantted to see their pet TREX because all creative things reflect a person's self.
What relationship? The main character has never even met this man. In fact, she stalked him. If anything, the creator of the story probably was infatuated with someone she couldn’t have
Spider legs for eyelashes
Bug blood for lipstick
Oh, okay
I love your profile pic
Todoroki uwu
its ur quirk not his bro
Well carmine, which is used to make red pigments is made from crushed beetles, so not *too* far from the truth.
Can’t like your comment because it’s at 666
This dude: exists
This witchy lady: aight imma simp
She looks so much like Morticia from the adams family, I bet she is the inspiration for this character.
I love how people confuse love and lust.
What's love without a little bit of lust? I mean, where do babes come from? Hmm I wonder, breaks head from thinking REAlly hard. Fuck y'all everyone be like sex is normal and now you say lust is not love? Disgusting.
I agree with you my friend , but in this situation there is no "true love". The witch saw a prince or whatever he was and fell in love with his BODY. She doesn't even know who he is , doesn't knows his personality. Its only a lust
@@Hey-jw3dm Lust and love are two very different things. They're usually paired together, but this girl only showed lust. She liked him for his body amd nothong else
@@Hey-jw3dm you've obviously never just dropped the D just to satisfy a scratch with a partner that just needed their back scratched too, and had no feelings created in the process. It's pretty cool.
wheredemweirdstuffat I know bc hate isn’t opposite of love,lust is the complete opposite of love and that’s what this is
Imagine being the voice actress hired to just make various grunting noises
Oh my God bro
Legend of Zelda in a nutshell
@@mcp7158 "ah" "uah" "wah" "hieah"
The phrase “I’m not at fault for the me made in your head”comes to mind
I have read the comments and I agree that the protagonist-antagonist was very ... "fickle" with her actions, since the guy did not even know that she existed (and when he met her he made eyes at her) but remember that she is a villain , her temperament is very unstable and honestly perhaps many of you would react in this way if the day you wanted to declare your crush he / she was surrounded by other love interests, acting in a very "affectionate" way with these, although of course without pyromaniac result lol
Some would be disheartened and leave, while others might yell. However, the yelling is unwarranted. It's understandable, but an apology might follow as he never knew them. If confronted, he'd likely respond in confusion, having never met her. Her accusations wouldn't hold, given the lack of any relationship between them.
The fact that evil villain fell in love but also ultimately went back to being evil was really creative and off the grid of what would be considered normal for fairytales
I appreciate its realism in depicting individuals with psychopathic traits. These people harm others without concern for feelings, leading to irrational actions. The animation accurately portrays their confusion - claiming love while acting irrationally. It exposes the toxic behavior of stalking, manipulation, and fantasy, showing a clear villainous character. Her misguided actions in their interactions are evident, illustrating the dynamics of a toxic person.
A hopeless romantic dark sorceress, I can get behind this.
ua-cam.com/video/UtOvI5COsaY/v-deo.html
I can fix her 😎
Can I just say how amazing and expressive this animation is compared to what you usually see
That lower lip bite in the beginning really did it for me. Poor evil sorceress...
Remember gentlemen, the lesson here is you shouldn't cheat on a girl you've never met, never spoken with, and never seen.
Wait a minute...
Oh, I am doing just like that. Unknown girlfriend may trust me.
No one likes a man who's with a lot of girls at the same time, like you're one more
@@luksi870 I don't know there's some pretty kinky girls out there. Or maybe he's Morman?
Thank god, a man that finally gets it.
Whoever did the facial expressions is a genius. The entire story was told through lips and eyes.
and arson and murder
Think of silent movies...
Ugh make more. A part 2 or something. She's amazing
This was quite the surprise ending 😂😂 very good loved this animation can’t wait to share w all my friends
the guy looks like flynn rider aka Eugene from tangled
And the evil girl looks like Mulan
That guy probably is the _actual_ Flynn Rider from Eugene's childhood, when he was talking to Rapunzel about his favorite hero in a storybook he was read to as an orphan...that might be this guy :O

I was recommended this a few years ago. And now again
yup
Yup!
RIP CHAD that didn't even know this girl is creeping on him
I'd love to see a part 2 of this in the future.
The best part of the video is when she uses the spider's legs for her eye lashes 😂😂
Obnoxious Lady I feel so bad for the spiders 🕷 🕷😂 and the bug lipstick
And yet I'm sure some people out there want lipstick in that shade of red at least once 👄
I WAS THINKING THE SAME. Really creative.

This is an accurate representation of a girl going through puberty.
Or a cluster B type personality.

@@lifelong9952 Let's keep it that way.
Wow 😮, that was a LOT of emotion...
Just stumbled across this by accident and glad I did. Great animation style and liked the twist at the end in the storytelling.
Even though it's mainly lust that she is feeling; her initial reaction to him is still adorable.
So no one is gonna talk about how easily that dude's clothes burned off? Without getting hurt? No one?
Orange Cup magic clothes.
Orange Cup tbh he looks too good for me to care
@@kayonnabullock3006 Touché
I thought the witch did it .
I thought she was picturing him naked. Wasn't it obvious that part was in her head. She a pervert
yo i came here to support you because i see this on instagram ads & no one credits you. amazing short film. you earned a sub
I remember seeing this as a teen and not really understanding it. Thank you for making this art, it's really cool and made me start thinking about the villain's side of the story. Amazing video! And still great 6 years later!
I like the animation, but let's avoid confusion. It mirrors reality where villains have similar motives. Despite seeming like love, these situations are often driven by lust. Reflect on this: Who truly broke her heart, him or the circumstances?
While it might seem he broke her heart due to his interactions with other women, consider this perspective. He never knew her, thus unintentionally causing heartbreak. The last time they met, he prevented her from harming someone. She was infatuated, not truly in love. He had no obligation to her, given their lack of acquaintance.
So, did he break her heart, or did the situation itself?
This is actually like the stages of a crush. You're doin your own thing (like murdering pink maidens at the stake), then suddenly they woosh in unexpectedly and catch your eye (and rescuingthe maiden). You try to deny it (pink magic scene) but then you end up lowkey stalking them on social media (crystal ball scene n stuff) before goin for it and realizing they a douche 😂
Or in this case a really wholesome Morman.
Wow your explanation is great!!
How's he a douche?
@@pyroxldasmellgood6196 See Gaston tavern-wench moment starting at 3:25.
Kind of like the original Little Mermaid fairytale, except the fates of the protagonist and her “love interest” in the ending are reversed!
Everyone says rapunzels mother, but i see azula from avatar-airbender series
THANK YOU!! Glad I'm not the only one!!
YES!
I see maleficent lol
Me too!!
Me too I see azula
this has just randomly appeared in my feed and the memories about how i was rooting for the the main heroine as a kid suddenly returned to me
Well this was a fun little roller coaster. Love those last 2 seconds
0:17 The witch is burning the innocent maiden on the stake.........You know I see both the irony and the historical correctness of it
OMG haha I just noticed that
Good catch!
*After 2 years i am still waiting for her happy ending*
WESH ! Elle est trop bien cette animation
AMAZING!! I couldn't play sound, but I didn't need to. It was so clear, and acted so well! Kudos!!!!
*When you’re an emo and in danger of puberty*
I thought the evil chick looked like a evil version of Mulan
exactly what i thought
This is great! What a story, great animation!
Nice touch with the lipstick. There's actually a red dye called carmine that is extracted from the cochineal beetle. They used to use that as food coloring.
If Magic was ranged by emotion, then Teens would be the most powerful in all the land
😂😂😂
esp these 13 year old flexers
"REeeeeEEEEEEEEEEE" The great wizard yelled in might, the land shook beneath his feet. "rEEEEEEEE!!" He let out a blast, setting the forest into flames and ashes.
x,D ''Turns out the great wizard got his grammar wrong on his final exam'' ;p

But in the end, she’s still lonely.
What do you expect? She's evil. And villains are never happy.
I still feel really bad for her though.
@@ourhedgehogsunitethings3966 Well, that certainly happened otherwise for Shrek.

Nothing like watching your crush carry a dead boar,am I right?
I'm so sad because I can relate
Vegetarian here ! All that I dreamed of
and then get naked in a creek
LMFAOOOOOOOOOO FR THO
Such a great facial expresions :3 And story is amazing as well :D
I'm here after seeing the shoutout on Instagram 😆
mulan's cousin is badass
no name TRUE THAT
Must run in the family
I like how the colour of her magic changes through out this.
Green just being evil, pink being in love, and red being heart break.
Or, you know the real reason for that...
Gotta say this is beautifully animated
Omg the end is unexpectable xD ! Very good!

2019: okay
That spider eyelashes were genius
Like great idea for halloween
Miles Morales Yeah
One of my favourite animations..
Still banger after all these years
The moment when you realise that the guy hasn't even known about witch's existence...
He could have wondered who tied the girl up and started the fire. Heck the girl could have told him.
@@cryora judging by how he reacted when he saw her he had no clue it was the witch (even the girl that was almost killed didn't react:/)
@@berrystein9197 She did react. She saw the witch and saw that she was interested in him, so she kissed him in front of her to insult her, thinking since she has the hero that the witch will get sad and leave crying. But you saw what happened instead. It was the bitch vs. the witch and the witch won.
@@cryora She never approached him personally. She can't expect a relationship when he doesn't even know who she is
Malachi Johnson she was shy ;-;
This is why most villains prefer to be single.
Huh? Most of villains or just anyone in general
Uhhhhh...Scar and Zira?
Ursula?

Lmao
Disney Villians are more relatable then Princess
*count frollo*
DRAMATIC BONERS
True!! 💯
I hope you don't relate to this one :D
Yasssss
Even a villain like her must look and feel like a princess. The Evil Queen, Maleficent, Mother Gothel, etc, even Ursula must feel like a princess
one of my favorite animations XD
Amazing work guys!!! In think I'm fall in love, with it too😂💖👍

Wow I loved it
this reminded me of enchanted and Rapunzel - would love to see this kind of animated story from the “villains”perspective as a feature film. Great work. Absolutely loved it ❤❤❤
the moment she fell in love she turned into some kind of disney princess
She could give makeup hacks. "Who needs fake eyelashes when you can use SPIDER LEGS"
😂😂😂
I like how she just like kills her crush and everybody else and then laughs xD
Okay the boar, the spider and the buglipstick moments were cursed.
But I also laughed so hard when his clothes burned XDDD
this animation is awesome, im actually shocked at how fluent it is. 😦
The spider leg lashes made me laugh hard
Goon what if she used a Daddy Longlegs 😂
