(also nex got a redesign!!! his eyes are the same as they always were though- they're just red for the purposes/symbolism of this video) she see's kane as villainous- the one who opened the door to her father's death. the reason behind all the loneliness and regret she's received. a murderer's apologist. someone who deserves next to none of the praise and rewards he's been getting. she can't just let him get away with it, right?main character(s) used: eiya (she/they) kane (he/theyother character(s): laxo (he/him) vis (he/him) nex (he/him)programs used: firealpaca (drawing) after effects (editing) filmora(finalizing)

I'm honestly rlly proud of this and hope yall like it aaa!!SO- as for whats going on here- (TW for a description of an abusive relationship)this video features laxo (siamese cat) and aiden's(gray(?) wolf) relationship, and the progression of what their relationship was vs what it became. laxo is a nervous lil man with people-pleasing tendencies, and aiden is a charming but deeply vicious and manipulative piece of garbage who gained laxo's trust. he was training with question by the time he met laxo, and his thirst for power and influence was growing. laxo in the beginning can be considered easily charmed- aiden was the only animal (other than his young sister) close enough who offered him kindness and support, and laxo was quick to latch onto him due to not having much else.laxo had childhood friends- pepper(calico cat) and huxley(lynx) but they lived pretty far from laxo due to the way their territory was organized, and could only get together sometimes. the three of them were close until laxo began dating aiden. aiden and laxo's relationship was NEVER healthy, from the beginning aiden was deeply possessive over laxo and would verbally lash out at him for getting too close to anyone else. he manipulated and constantly talked down to laxo- convincing him that aiden knew what was best for him. because of this, aiden pulled laxo further and further away from huxley and pepper, eventually completely isolating him from them. without pepper and huxley, laxo instead became friends with aiden's sister, sina, while also spending more time with kenta(his own sister)but aiden still hated that, wanting complete control over him without /any/ interference. question promised aiden power and influence as long as he could prove his loyalty to the dark realm. so in order to do that, he got rid of his family.laxo, unfortunately, witnessed this and becomes an unwilling accomplice to the dark realm's plans and aiden's- now renamed nex since becoming a demon- crimes. main character(s) used: laxo(he/him) aiden/nex(he/him)other character(s): pepper (they/them) huxley ( he/they) sina(she/her) kenta(she/her) aster and marianne (nexโs parents that appeared in one of the sketches)programs used: firealpaca (drawing) after effects (editing) filmora(finalizing)

(this mixed with aiden's naturally defensive and angry nature didn't make the encounter go very smoothly, and aiden internalized some of the things vis had said to him) vis was neglectful and scornful towards eiya, spurring her jadedness and rebelliousness. and he was a very hard, strict, and ruthless mentor towards kane, which made him dread the thought of becoming ruler (which was what he was training for)vis is a paranoid, awful dude who thought everyone was out to get him- and his line of thinking ended in his demise. main character(s) used: vis(he/him)other character(s): (im not stating who the three characters at the beginning are hehehoho) aiden/nex (he/him), eiya/brutus(she/her), kane(he/they), laxo(he/him)programs used: firealpaca (drawing) after effects (editing) filmora(finalizing)

CEST TOI || animation meme || (ocs) gloomforrest 2021-06-13 | "i've caused many broken souls and spilled twice as much blood. i've witnessed the hopeful light burn out in the eyes of victims in my grasp. i've ruined so many lives.. and yet, watching *yours* crumble continues to bring me the most joy."song: Alice et Moi - C'est toi qu'elle prรฉfรจre (youtube.com/watch?v=zGr0-pQX6JU) (NOTE: the translations seen in my video are not 100% accurate! i am not french, and i purposefully changed the pronouns to fit my story better!)original: by illbringyoudown!!! check it out youtube.com/watch?v=IlOnk7sSZf4Edit: YโALL,, 100k VIEWS??? WADDAHECK??? THANK YOU SO MUCH!!OOUG this video took me a fat minute to make but im honestly really happy with how it turned out!! this meme is honestly very underrated and im surprised that im one of the only other people who imitated the pixelated style in the original! ofc i went for kind of an 'rpg horror' type thing with the dialogue box n all. it was a fun challenge and i learned a lot from it ;0 as for the video itself, well.. i've noticed that all of my other nex-focused videos lean more towards the more erratic side of nex. (which.. is definitely still prominent in his character :/) but he's actually more of the calculating manipulative type who is both addicted and obsessed with his own wants and pleasures. ig i kind of wanted to show that more to once again remind y'all that he's horrible and you should despise him lmfao, also he smells bad. the plot in this video.. is kind of a lot?? pfdjh. the timeline would take place sometime after laxo's banishment. the general jist of it is that nex is continuously mocking kane for all the shit that played out in his life in both the past and present to make up for his extreme jealousy issues. all of the characters shown are/were some of the more important examples of everyone kane caring about suddenly being ripped away. some are metaphorical, others are literal. (i actually LOVE kane's character arc and plan on diving more into it in a future video)although nex wouldn't be allowed to leave the dark-realm on his own whim (in order not to cause a scene) ofc he'd disregard this rule literally *just* to be the worst and continuously rub salt in the wound. near the end of this video i was originally going to put a scene that shows one of nex's most prominent ways of mocking kane by leaving mutilated brown-and-white bunnies in random places.. yeah. but instead at the end i decided to put a different scene showing nex reading, planning, and even casting... something. as always i love hearing your guys' thoughts! :Dmain character(s) used: nexother character(s): vivik (grandfather), odette (aunt), noel (mother), vis(mentor..), orika (powerful healer/seer and everyones grandma tbh), aven (close friend), eiya (close friend & adoptive sister), laxo (boyfriend), and kane programs used: firealpaca (drawing) after effects (editing) filmora(finalizing)
