I'm a bit late to the accident meme hype, but that's okay. It's perfect for Lucian's backstory, which is part of book 4 of my original series.

WARNING: FLASHING LIGHTS
So this was way harder than it should have been, but Im happy with the way it came out. Charlies in his pajamas because I didnt want to animate his coat and also most of his hallucinations occur at night, so it makes some sense. I was kinda inspired by a few different versions of this meme, so I finally did it despite not wanting to originally. Enjoy ^^

Its done! I was really happy to see some new faces in this one! ^^ Thank you so much for joining, everyone! I dont believe saying you all did so well is good enough though, so down below I left you all some kinds words!
Part 1: The movement used here is very entertaining to watch, as it never quite stays still. This part goes from really cute to really dark very fast, which is awesome! I love the effects at the end, too!
Part 2: The bright colors of this part contrast very well with the dark undertones. Im not sure whether or not the dude is a good or bad kinda guy, and its nice to be kept guessing!
Part 3: I liked this part at first, but I love it even more now! It really grew on me as I edited this. It tells a great story and theres so much IMPACT when the chains break! Very dramatic c:
Part 4: Everything is moving. The tables are moving. Look at the tables. No but really, the tweening in this part is impressive! Also everything seems really believable, like no one cares that a bat dude just flies in.
Part 5: Spoooooooooky. Everything here reminds me of a ghost story session or something. The candles are great and you draw indoor backgrounds a thousand times better than I can.
Part 6: Im so glad someone used this palette for fire! The environments looks so interesting and I love the dragons designs. Despite both being mostly one color, theyre very neat to look at!
Part 7: Its cool how the background goes from outdoors to indoors for seemingly no reason. The change in setting keeps things fresh! The ending is chilling too; I can really feel the increasing panic.
Part 8: So many frames! Everything is so hectic too, I love how everyone is arguing among themselves. It really captures the theme of betrayal that I was looking for.
Part 9: The way you drew blood was fantastic! You mixed the blue and pink flawlessly and the feeling of fear is terrifyingly thick. Blue boi looks so sad ;-;
Part 10: Oh boy my part is bleh as usual but hey at least Violet is really pretty in the first frame? Also I was proud of the background.
Part 11: The timing of the trees is so satisfying to look at and the yellow eyes contrast so nicely with the background palette! Colors are used very skillfully and I am genuinely afraid for the poor girl.
Part 12: Way to make just two frames really interesting! I think I already said this but the transition from day to night between the images is absolutely gorgeous!
Part 13: Such a clever part! The way the tree changes with whats happening is so symbolic and beautiful. I always love how you sometimes leave out faces to increase the eerie vibes!
Part 14: Despite there not being a ton of movement at first, theres a certain tension that I feel with this part. I think its the dramatic facial expressions of the character until they finally just scream at the end. Very cool!
Part 15: That wall looks so pretty for some reason and that pool of blood is terrifying. You used the blur effects to devastating effect as well! This makes me feel a lot of things.
Part 16: Gosh this is pretty, everything is so textured! The backgrounds too and that editing are stunning! Congrats on getting the thumbnail!
Part 17: I can feel the insanity and its so edgy I love it! The timing is also really satisfying how the fade ins and outs fit with the music perfectly! Nice simple backgrounds as well c:
Part 18: Oof, mine again. I was really happy with the last frame!
Part 19: The falling leaves are so beautiful! That and the pretty backgrounds add such a melancholic atmosphere to the sad part. Everyone is crying and it feels like the ending of a friendship. My feels.
Part 20: I LOVE how the blue and pink markings on the last character match with the blood colors! The editing in the water and reflection couldnt have been better either!
Part 21: Such a great ending to the MAP! I love your wolf anatomy and the waviness at the end is very dreamlike and mysterious. The feelings I get from this give me chills! (Also MASSIVE apology because I somehow forgot your name in the intro? Im super sorry about that! I only noticed now. Rest assured I still watermarked your part in the MAP! I am SO sorry!)
Thanks so much for supporting this channel, everyone. It means more than you know to me!
