I didn’t notice this the first time through but Darcy gets prescribed stronger drugs as the story progresses. The first drug she’s given is for “emotional turmoil.” The drug she ODs on is for “chronic despair.”
Nice catch. I also noticed they had the same hair when their mom was alive. The only time they have that again is at the end. Maybe a symbol that they forgive each other and can find solace in themselves again
Yeah and then it goes from 20Mg to 25Mg
I didnt even notice, even when I was pausing almost every single frame to notice the little details
Maybe Darcy has chronic depression and that's the reason she overdose? Or maybe the medicine wasn't helping at all?
100mg woah ok Darcy
Good catch. Her latest prescription which Marcy steals has a label that's not fully in view except for " ...Lapram 25mg... needed... fering" I think fering is suffering
I feel like Darcy just wants to be a kid, while Marcy feels like she has to be what the adults around her are molding her into.
What the angel said about her mother stuck with her because their mother is dead
do drugs, kids
@@FinalJuice lmaoo
Darcy is a furry thats addicted to drugs
this comment felt like you just talked about my whole life
4:55 I think about this a lot. Everything about this 30 second segment. Girl ends up in the hospital, and they ask "Is your arm okay?" and "Why would you pick today of all days to do this.".
I can’t help it if my deadbeat dad finds out I’m a hoe on Father’s Day 🫢
when you attempt, it's the first way people react unfortunately 😭😭
@@cypressaspect 🫂;
I love how the cat and rabbit represent both sisters, the rabbit representing Marcy while the cat represents Darcy. When Darcy enters “Paradise” she is met with a rabbit, a rabbit that has the same eye shape and the same onesie color as her sister (Marcy). Also when Marcy enters “paradise”, the cat also shares the same similarities as her sister, eye shape, and how the cat is on her side on the tennis court. Marcy and the cat BOTH hold up the trophy. honestly I just love everything about this animation ❤
Righttt!! I was trying to find someone that thought the same 😭
and I thought the angel looks like their mom in photo,she saved them from the dream of drug even though the real world is going to end,but twins hug together.
oghhh i didn’t even notice this! so cool
i think it symbolizes how they were trying to find comfort in drugs / overdosing when they truly just needed eachother.
@@merr12345 That makes so much sense
darcy asking “what does this have to do with tennis” broke my heart
I think it was Marcy
No it was Marcy she is the one with the long hair
@@jey6779 oh hi I didn't see your replay at first
@@29zara no problem
It broke my heart too :(
I think that in the portal, the bunny when Darcy was in the portal represented Marcy and the cat when Marcy was in the portal was supposed to be a representation of Darcy. Both were the ideal versions of themselves to the other. With Darcy, she wanted Marcy to spend time with her and with their mother, on the other hand, Marcy wanted them to be a team.
Yeah that's a very great idea! That's what I love about this video, the small details that I maybe would've never thought about but you are right, it is like the perfect sister that both twins are imagining
Amelia Sun especially since the eyes on the bunny are the same as marcy and vice versa
Yeah, I thought the exact same thing! And also Darcy wears the cat hoodie thing, so I think that the cat really does represent Darcy.
@@randomfluffkingt.9364 yes! and marcy have a bunny hoodie, at 00:17 it's in the closet (sorry if my english is bad)
I believe the entire portal is just drug use itself. Marcy has anger issues, and at first, it seems like a way out, until you get backstabbed, and you can't stop. I believe the cat actually represents the users brain, and lucky enough, Marcy was able to make it out, luckily. But on the other hand, Darcy wasn't. She did drugs, and couldn't get out. Might just be my brain, having a fasination for HiImMaryMary, but thats my take on it.
"I will nuke my own country Because God wants us dead."
That was some heavy stuff. This is such an incredible animation and story. Only 9 mins yet you really get a connection to the characters
My president💪💪💪
Scary real
Bidon moment
Israel moment
How tho
For me, I interpret this animation as a story of greiving. After their mother's passing, Darcy gets consumed by escaping reality through drugs and getting to see her mother again, while Marcy gets consumed by tennis to ignore the pain. She breaks stuff to relieve emotion, but in turn hurts her mother by destroying their house. I like how this short film doesn't end with a clear solution on how they should grieve, only that Marcy realizes she has a problem and to set their differences aside because life is short in the end
That was not their house they worked to a evil men. Ppl protested under the building but the building are giant represent how big the prostitution industry is . (Srry bad english).
Maybe... But they're also using escapism because their world is a literal hell, making their lives essentially meaningless
I liked how each of their “dreamscapes” showed the twins’ love languages in respect to their deceased mother, like how Darcy just wanted her mother’s touch while Marcy thought she needed success to earn her mother’s love.
Marcy's motherly angel complemented her, but thought that she needed to take breaks bc she was over exerting herself, but the devil character fucked shit up
All this pain we cause ourselves doesn't matter cause in the end, we die weather or not we achieve a parents love, or find success in what we do. We gotta take care of the people around us and not fight each other to death. (the nuclear annihilation scene at the end.)
✌️✌️😜😜😜
Oh hey another edgy 12 year old
@@TapDat52K makes sense
It's interesting how in the sister's rooms, one girl has only plushies, because she desires friends, and the more competitive sister has only trophies as her main focus.
It would make sense considering their different dream sequences. Darcy imagines the pink rabbit as a friend, which could possibly be seen as what she wants Marcy to be to her. Marcy imagines the blue cat as a teammate, playing and winning the tennis championship with her after Darcy’s overdose, likely symbolizing what she wants from Darcy. It is indeed quite interesting how everything connects like that
i also would like to build on this noting that marcy comes into darcy’s room after the tournament is long over, knowing that her main focus means nothing with the nuclear explosion bound to happen. she is taking a step in her sister’s shoes to better understand her and why she did what she did.
Thank you for the very insightful observation!
I think its more like.. One of them wants to hold on to being a child for as long as she can and stay in her own world while the other is trying to grow up as fast as she can
I think that both of them wanted the same thing, but in different ways, Darcy wants to have back her mother and Marcy wants to make her mother proud. At the end they just want their mother's love.
the lack of dialogue forces people to assume what is happening, and I love that because it speaks to each person in a different way, and touches each of them in a way that it wouldn't touch anyone else.
that is true, there is not necessarily one correct opinion, but everyone's opinions also tell different sides of the story
@@8tsyaboi227 It connects other theories together basically, it's interesting watching it all unravel.
Theres something about the twins in the counselling room that throws me off a bit. Darcy draws her dark thoughts and feelings, and Marcy throws the crayon box instead of drawing.
Думаю,это разные попытки двух девочек, справиться со своими проблемами, Дарси спасается таблетками, рисуя для себя счастливый мир с мамой и семьей. А Марси,в свою очередь, прячет свои проблемы,ее проблемы выливаются в эмоции из-за которых она ломает вещи и не хочет их видеть
@@kenoohao возможно она их не прячет, а избегает не желая о них думать, поэтому она и бросила коробку с мелками, как будто говоря: "я не хочу об этом думать", по крайне мере я вижу это так, а ну да я еще удивлена то что здесь есть русский человек :D
This felt like watching a feature film.
That moment the devil punched Marcy was a real shocker. I also love how the punches sound like tennis bat hits

The poor things.
Molded by their absent mother, the guilt and shame.
Never cared for, tended to by therapists and coaches.
What was supposed to “fix” them only made it worse.
they were not cared by coaches.
we see coach interact with in three scenes
first - blowing whistle in their training.
second - telling them to participate in lewd photoshoot for advertisement
third - him visiting Darcy in the hospital. And he said: "Heyy Darcyy. How're you doing? Is your arm okay?". And i thought - "she overdosed, she lost a lot of blood, and we see no injuries on either of her arms". So why did he asked about her arm? Maybe because he doesn't REALLY care about her and only cares if she can play.
that's psychiatry for you yah sis
Isn’t her mom dead? That’s why they are doing different things to cope?
Where’s their other guardian like a dad or other mom? There is no adults in the house it seems.
I mean uh. Y-yeah, I guess.
I like how both girls go through the portal and experience different things to show their different fantasies, like one seeing her mom, and the other winning a tennis match.
Something I like about it as well is that both of the twins cope differently. I don't know who is who, so I'll refer to them as "Onesie" and "Ponytail." Onesie longs for her mother, and puts that over tennis which is absolutely acceptable. I blame the therapist for this, but she didn't get the support she needed, and her only parental figure is obsessed with something less important to her: their upcoming match. With that, she becomes TOO reliant on her need for her mother, which is the total opposite of Ponytail. I felt like Ponytail only wanted to be great at tennis maybe as a dying wish of her mother, or because that's the only thing her father cared about. Ponytail is self destructive, which is shown later in her fantasies. She cares about tennis as her priority, and Ponytail pushes thoughts of her mother away to cope.
i love the subtle sound design of the tinnitus sound in the hospital that stops when they hold hands
Huh, it stops?
I love how she animates. It’s messy but also *so* pretty
Is Vewn a she?
mental breakdown the person I thought so :o
it's an odd aesthetic but it's really cool
@@nenidetic it gives me old cartoon network vibes
@@shroomy2922 It doesn't for me; Vewn has a vibe of her own.
Marcy and Darcy took their separate routes on coping with their mother’s passing, but by the end they realized they needed each other.
This theory is short but realy acurate
and then they were fucking nuked
@@socialismwithchinesecharac3938 I guess they repented before it was too late.
Yeah, this is a pretty good summary
They realy did
jeez, vewn really doesn't shy away from really grotesque topics like child exploitation, really shows how much they care about the message they're trying to get across without having to hide too much because "people can't handle it"
4:55 "hey darcy… how you doing? Is your arm okay?"
lmao I love that voice actor
Anyone's going to talk about how Marcy's angel is her mum and her devil is her?
I also see it as the one she killed, if we look into Marcys lady portal trip, someone comes behind her mother and kills her with a knife in the back, which prompts Marcy to quickly beat the life out of them. Forever entangling their souls. Or maybe the mother was killed in relation to them, she was driving to a tennis game and was caught in a bad collision, so now Marcy blames herself.
Me
@@yeather_6562 I see it as if Marcy ignored her inner angel too long and focus on the devil too much (the one telling her to work harder) so the angel left her already but then she realized In the portal that the devil is bad so she tries to mess the devil up while realizing that she's the bad one/devil
i think the mother might have also been a tennis player
Anyone gonna talk about how at 7:55, it goes from 5:59:50 to 5:59:38?

i know it's been two years, but I absolutely love how scale and space is portrayed in this and how insurmountable the world feejs! even simple stuff like doorways and beds feel like they tower over the characters and the damn exaggerated prespecitves capture the feeling of hassagaa bassahahgaaha so damn well ! especially the therapist scene, which comes so early that it sets up the whole prespetive and makes you in turn notice all the stuff more since such an extrme example is used to early
Pls can you explain me this video?
The hell is a hassahahaga and bassahahagaa
I don't know how to explain it, but as someone with severe depression and anxiety, all of vewns videos speak to me so clearly. I understand how it feels. It's unsettling, but in just the right way.
Does anyone else find the ending absolutely heartbreaking? Both sisters finally realize that they need help and that they need to support and take of each other, but they never get the chance to because of circumstances completely out of control. They could’ve had time to heal and actually had a fighting chance to recover, but everything fell apart before it could even start.

I've watched this several times and seen several interpretations, but there is one point I haven't seen mentioned yet...
The bunny represents Marcy and the cat represents Darcy. That's pretty clear. When either girl is in the portal realm, they're doing what they want to do most with their sister.
Darcy wants to revive their mother and spend time as a family, while Marcy wants to forget about their mother and just play tennis and win the championship.
Idk I just haven't seen anyone else mention this and it seems like an important and clear point.
There also seems to be dying houseplants scattered through the mansion. I think this represents how the twins are dying on the inside, and how the doom of the outside world seeps into their lives. I have a sneaking suspicion the state of the outside world may very well have played some role in the death of their mother as well. A reason for this possible connection.
I don't think Marcy wants to forget her mom. I think she's remembering her mom through tennis. I have a feeling that either their mom was a tennis player or introduced them to tennis so to Marcy, spending all her time practicing to win that match is a way to honor her mother's memory. That's why she was so mad at Darcy for overdosing because in her mind, all that effort that she was putting all went to nothing. Now the world was gonna end and she wouldn't ever get the chance to make her mom proud
necroposting, my bad, but i’m pretty sure the outside world is also a metaphor for their internal thoughts. The fact they were on an edge with suicide posters as the bomb drops is intentional: the bomb dropping is a physical representation of their suicide. Your analysis that the outside world has something to do with their mother, although not directly related to this idea, could still be accurate. That’s what i love so much about these videos that are left perfectly discreet in their actual ideas; your correlation between the outside world and their mother, mixed with my concept about the outside world being a metaphor for their mental deterioration makes a very complex analysis of this story, both of us making correlations the other didn’t notice, but having them not be exclusive and actually building off of each other.
I love how small the twins feel in this. It really does showcase how powerless they are in it all. They're tennis stars who are forced to compete and do questionable things against their will. They can't even get help because their therapist doesn't care. You have adults who are massive compared to them showing that power difference and even the mother who feels monumental which does incapsulate how much the twins clearly valued her and how important she was. Then you have the outside world which isn't spacious but incredibly cramped showing such a oppressive feeling which imo puts it all onto place how much of a wasteland the world is. The outside doesn't allow them space to exist while the inside is so big that they are non-existent. And then you have their rooms which are the only places outside of the tennis courts which feel like they're perfectly sized to the twins. Genuinely really insane use of space to do visual story telling.
The whole thing justs... I have no way of explaining it. It's the unique style, impressive, eye grabbing angles, exotic use of colors, drug use, abuse of children, it's everything. It makes me feel so uncomfortable, yet so impressed.
Yeah, it's amazing and I cannot stip6 watching this since it got Released, The comments are great as well and I already made like 40 comments under this video alone haha
the way it’s always moving and shaking makes you feel anxious and shake too.
i think the most unsettling but interesting part is the angles, how everything looks tipped over. it freaks me out, which i like.

This came out the day my dad passed away. It helped me so much with the grief and for that I will be forever grateful for Vewn.
I doubt any will see this, but that line at 5:03 really hit me hard. “Why did you pick today of all days to do this.”
Last year I had an attempt on my life, and was taken to the hospital at 1 in the morning by my mother and my sister. My sister, while not my twin, treated the entire situation with so much apathy and bitterness towards me, telling me I was stupid and selfish and even demanding I apologize for what I did to myself, all because she missed work and missed her twitch stream. It just really touches my soul in a way I didn’t know could
Well I just read your comment, so yea one person knows about it.
Hope you can get a grip on yourself life is not easy.
I hope you're doing well right now😢😢😢 I'm so sorry to hear that your sister said then
That is what I hate the most. I’m sorry if it sounds harsh but your sister should feel ashamed of herself for acting that way…
Your comment hit me hard because I can’t take it when ON TOP of ignoring victims of suffering and leaving them to stay tortured in their minds, people go out of their way to blame them. Blame them for hurting THEMSELVES. You might as well fucking spit on me and shit on my grave if you treat me that way.
When I was going through my high school years depressed, lonely, and with no friends, I hated being treated like nothing was wrong even though I was obviously looking like a lifeless husk all the time. What really pushed me over the edge was how my parents got UPSET at me for being emotionally broken.
See a kid leaning on their school table and limping like a corpse all day? Don’t feel bad for them, or have sympathy for them, or ask them “what’s wrong”, no. PUNISH them for “misbehaving” and being a dipshit “spoiled” kid.
Anyways, now I’m feeling much happier! I don’t wanna bog you down either. I love you and hope you’re feeling better, stay safe. ;-; ❤️
Your family are messed up man, I feel your motives, but always remember, doesn't matter how shit is this world to you, you have to keep moving forward, don't ever give up
When my father took me out of the hospital after my suicide attempt, he asked 'Aren't you ashamed to go home?' I answered 'About what?'. And he replied 'You know what'
It's hard for them to accept that it's their fault that I felt that way, so it's easier for them to put the blame on the other person, rather than to take the blame
And also he accused me of manipulating them. He thinks that I did it on purpose, that i planned my attempt to not die as a result, just to fall asleep. He thinks that i tried to get something out of it... Like, what? Liver disease from drinking 100 pills?
Honestly I just wanted to die and I still regret that I didn't die that day. The worst part is when you wake up and understand that you're still alive...
I could've died actually right away from toxic influence on my liver or from vomit, but ambulance came faster. I didn't know nothing about meds. I thought I would die in my sleep, but then I found out that death from this combo of meds is not what i wanted it to be, it's more painful. Also I could've become disabled
There was a combo of neuroleptics, sleeping pills, antidepressants, painkillers and normotimics. When I felt drowsiness, I thought that I'm dying and I suddenly got scared that my friends will blame themselves, so I wrote a message on the wall and called them... I was so stupid. My friend called an ambulance, not my parents.
Sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker
8:27 this scene is simultaneously really cute and sad,, their little waves look so timid and childish despite everything they’ve been through
ikr
Forces us to take a step back and remember that these are just kids, even after everything they’ve been through. (At least thats my take on this scene)
nette i saw this when i was at this part lol
I just noticed that the animals in the portal mirror the other twin (Darcy sees a pink rabbit that has Marcy's eyes and Marcy sees a blue cat with Darcy's eyes) there's so much fucking symbolism I love this video.
i wish we could actually know the creators pov on this video
also look at the girls' bedrooms. there is a rabbit plushie and a clock with rabbit ears in Marcy's room and there are cat plushies and a clock with cat ears in Darcy's.
this doesn’t pertain to the video but there are 666 likes and your name is grim mace
If you pay close enough attention, pay attention to the outlines for each twin
And they realized they needed each other

@Nirvisha Singh That's exactly why it's so gross. It wasn't even just pictures that were kept private. They were publicized for the whole world to consume and adults made a profit from it. The biggest problem is that many times this is accepted. Kids are sexualized from a very young age, especially child celebrities. The same people who are supposed to be guiding them through the world and through fame are making money by exploiting them.

1:41 ugly crying rn because you can see darcy struggle a little to open the bottle, this is because of the built in child proof lid. This, along with the vast size difference between them and the adults, is such a subtle yet powerful detail displaying the fact that, despite everything, marcy and darcy are only children. Two little girls, though having each other, who are all alone in the big, wide world.
There’s something so nostalgic about the art style
yes.
kind of reminds me of those art styles from old cartoon network shows or children's books ..

Yes, because fuck everything else we just saw in the vid lol
There is a high pitched ringing sound starting at 8:03 when Marcy wakes up at the hospital that stops as soon as she holds Darcy’s hand at 8:47. It’s like they are finally on the same wavelength and understand each other. They find peace within and between each other and that discordant noise that was always present just faded away.
Damn I didn't notice that white noise good catch
Oh man u noticed that amazing
Didn’t even notice. Thanks
That's interesting!
I was thinking the bell ringing could represent head throbbing or something, and when it ceases could represent mental clarity which is consistent with what you said.
The high pitched tone during Darcy's scene in the hospital bed was immediately familiar to me. Seems like tinnitus is associated with kidney injury.
Finally, a noise to perfectly describe what my tinnitus sounds like!
This is the 3rd time I have ever cared so much about characters in a piece of media. Throughout the entire piece, I cared so fiercely for both of the twins. I wasn’t huge on animations like this, but my friend showed me this channel and it changed. This animation will always hold a special place in my heart. I enjoy the little details here, where Darcy only spoke once, and that was in paradise. I also like how the animals in paradise represented the twin that wasn’t currently in paradise. (For example, when Darcy was in paradise she befriended a rabbit and when Marcy was there she befriended a cat.) I like that you can tell of this because of their room color schemes/the vibe they give off. And the fact that they each had something that represented the animal. Marcy had a rabbit stuffed animal in her room, and Darcy had a bunch of cats stuffed animals + a cat onesie. I also love that even when at the end of the film before they both died due to the nuke, despite the fact that they had little to no differences you could still tell who was who. (At least on my part, or it could’ve been just where Darcy had a head bandage on.) I also loved how the angel on Marcy’s shoulder was implied to represent her mother. (Considering the fact Darcy and the rabbit had summoned her + the pictures of her had blue hair.) And I also presume that the devil that stayed with Marcy throughout the film more than likely represented herself, since near the end when she gets beaten up by it, it goes from a demon to a girl in a ponytail that is wearing a demon hoodie. I really enjoyed how the “angel and devil on the shoulder” thing was taken to a whole other level here, and this is my favorite piece of media I have ever seen. Thank you so much for releasing this masterpiece Vewn. :)
8:56 "Dont jump you have so much to live for"
Why does this feel so long but only last for like 9 minutes
A lots happening, that's why
I think the art style and the music really make it feel more “slow”
It's only been 3 minutes and 48 seconds and it feels like I've been here for a while
It feels sloooow to me because I constantly pause the video to read the details and messages hidden, and I do it because I consider none of the things in this animation are accidental, everything was planned... So if you do that too maybe that's why it feel so long.
your mind associates it with being a music video, which is 3 to 5 minutes on average. But this is a whole lot more than that
I don't have any theories. I have only a thought.
The last scene was immensely sad. In the face of imminent death, the two sisters quickly hugged each other with faces of regret. Right there and then, their short lives, how wrongly they spent it, how they treated each other flashed before their eyes. They both realized they can only forgive each other and be there until the end.
It was sad, but also so beautiful. The only moment you show the sisters truly coming together and connecting. Reminds me of the way the sisters in the movie Melancholia were displayed, right at the end when the world was ending, like in this animation.
Reminds me of the ending of The Cabin in the Woods and Toy Story 3 waste dump fire scene. With the end of the world imminent, there is nothing worth doing more than holding on to the ones you love.
made me think of the ending of rogue one
Shiit man now I'm crying in the club

I have now watched this >20 times, done a presentation about it for one of my classes and think it might be favorite 10ish min film.
My favorite detail is how at 3:17 Marcy's devil's fingers move a frame before Marcy's does.
I kinda feel like I connect to Darcy, other than the drugs obv.

I got so sad when the coach said "is your arm OK" i cannot express it into words but I felt and uncontrollable wave of emotions
Exactly, he only cares about himself getting paid not the people he coaches
I had an overwhelming urge to strangle that man-
Reminded me of my teacher. I remember when I was in high school, I wouldn't do all of the work in my history class because of the weight of past suicidality looming over me. I had wanted to end it all, for four years prior (I don't mean four years ago, but four straight years.) When I told him, he just told me in an annoyed and curt tone to "well, you survived, and you have to get over that now". A horrific shock came over me. I was in Hell for years over it.
I finally reached out to him in e-mail, and told him I was cutting him off because I was appalled at what he said to what was basically a child, who had wanted to off themself. He got mad, and told me he tries to get students to do their homework, so he can do well at his job. This video clip reminded me of that exact same idea he just expressed into words.
He then told me I desperately needed help, and that I never should think of myself as his equal. In the past, he would comfort me by saying "Life is short." What a piece of work. What a monster.
The worst part is, he got a "nicest teacher" award in school, probably more than one time. So multiple nice teacher awards hanging on his wall.
You better watch out for some of these older people in authoritative positions, they can be psychological and moral monsters.
@@bryannaprouty4197 wow that teacher is cruel I hope you are doing better now tho

Holy shit (watched this while very high), the ability to convey Years of tragedy, trauma and connection, along with all the emotions that goes along with it. To do all that in 9 minutes and 30 seconds, with less than 20 words spoken the entire time.
From the different eyes, to their specialized experience in the Portal. So much attention to detail, so much love and artistic passion portrayed in something so simple yet so convoluted.
This is amazing.
Well said, and all conveyed in an art style thats fairly simple. Just perfect.
I am also, very stoned. 😂

@@kemma_ how did you do that?
Love that by the end you can't tell which twin is which anymore.
Also in Marcy's room she has a pink rabbit clock and a pink rabbit onesie hung up in the closet, whereas Darcy has a cat clock and the cat hoodie she wears when she OD's. When both of them are on their respective drug trips, they each have an animal representative of their sibling.
wow i didnt even notice the clocks or marcys onesie, although i knew the rabbit and cat in the portal were representative of each sibling, you seem to notice something new each time you watch this, which i think says alot about the talent of vewn as an artist, also darcy has one tuft of hair, almond eyes and is the shorter one, and marcy has two tufts and inverted U eyes, pretty subtle, took a good few times watching this to realize that myself.
You can tell by the bandage
The one with bangs and a bandage on her head is Darcy and the one with no bangs is Marcy
you can tell by the shape of each of their eyes, Darcy has the almond shaped eyes and Marcy has the circular ones.
What i worried about was if one was tripping again. And died.Hence at the end the bomb scene happened
I’m someone’s twin sister and this is fucking haunting. As a girl the “what does this have to do with tennis” bit made my stomach drop and as a sister the way they made up before the bomb dropped without saying a word was absolutely stunning. We’re not at this point and hopefully never will be, but it’s weird how clearly I see myself and my brother in Marcy and Darcy. These animations make me feel things I couldn’t begin to put words to. I binged a bunch of them in the same day when I first found the channel and I was in such a weird mood I kinda floated around my house for the next couple of days. Thank you for this masterpiece.
It really is relatable as a twin
Are you more if a Marcy or a Darcy?
my twin brother and I are a mix of both I would say, but the definitely feel Marcy needing to prove herself all the time. My brother would relate to Darcy, just sitting in his room day dreaming
My dream is to someday make art like this
Vewn is crazy talented. She is like one of my favorite animators ever.
honestly, and her videos have deep meanings
As in comparison with professional animators in the cartoon industry, vewn is top tier, unmatched, definitely my favourite animator/creators of all time.
Yeah this is amazing, certainly more than I initially thought
I just really like her eddgy style, yet would like to see one of her animations with a lot more frames and length.

"Don't ask stupid questions."
A little commentary on the rampant pedophilia amongst social and political elites
We all saw the video bro.
I thought about that too, it was super creepy
Yeah I honestly thought this had a pedophilia message at first glance but didn't pay much attention to it when I was analyzing the whole video
@@people6117 it's obvious why does every little obvious thing have to have it's own comment that starts with "okay but can we talk about how". This is the worst comment section. It's so diluted with senseless dribble. Still waiting for someone to comment "uhh jeez can we like talk about how the twins were like blonde" fucking hell. Does there have to be text that says *PEDOPHILIA* on the screen to make it more obvious?
Bro something is off how after darcy wakes up in the hospital, the coach’s reaction. He tries to act caring for a split second, his face and vibe, he quickly drops the act, and asks “is your arm okay?”
Showing he really only cares if shes able to play or not. Just found it interesting
I like the part when she said “it’s twining time!” And kicked the other guys nuts
EDIT: To abbreviate and expand my old interpration: I feel this is about stages of grief, with Darcy always being at least one stage ahead of her sister. Marcy is still in denial in the beginning, trying to keep herself busy, while Darcy falls into depression and tries to bargain on how to feel motherly love again. Marcy eventually has to face her trauma. In the end, I like to think that both twins have found comfort in having each other and can move on with their lives (although it is unclear whether they will still have a world to live in afterwards).
----------------------------
(old)
My take: Both twins miss their late mother and both "choose" different ways of coping with the loss. Darcy falls into depression , which she tries to combat with pills. Marcy tries to distract herself by playing tennis. Both twins want to experience motherly love again and they need each other in order to do so, but fail to play the role the other twin wants them to play. Darcy wants to be comforted by her sister (represented by the bunny in the portal). Marcy wants her sister to play tennis with her and succeed (represented by the cat in the portal).
The devil on Marcy's shoulder is trying to protect her from her emotions and from falling into despair over her mother's death like Darcy, which is why it encourages her to distract herself with tennis and to destroy the statues vaguely resembling her mother. The angel doesn't want this, as it recognizes you can't run away from trauma.
After her sister crashes, Marcy's trauma catches up with her as she enters the portal. The devil tries to stop her from encountering her emotions and trauma, only for Marcy to realise that she has been stopping herself from processing her trauma, hurting her sister (devil stomping the cat) and herself (the devil punching Marcy) in the end.
In my interpretation, both twins have now realised that they need each other to process the loss of their mother. At the end, they could try to climb the fence and commit suicide, but instead, they embrace each other, meaning that they haven't given up on each other, even if the world has given up on them.
The only thing that fails here is the fact that they are not going to make it alive since they quite literally, are standing right below a plane with a nuclear bomb.
this is a beautiful one
Red Koiii I don’t think that matters, I think they realize their mistakes when they wake up, and it also seems that (before the nuclear bomb) they do small but impactful things that show that they want to be nice to eachother examples being checking in on the other twin in the hospital then holding hands on the elevator then finally (but definitely not least) hugging eachother as hard as they can because they know it all ends there.
My take, give back your take.
all makes sense now.
I like that the hospital has soft, not bright colors. You feel like it's safe here, even a bomb feels normal. But in the house of the twins everything was in dark dull "blood" colors, it was damn annoying and after all, when we see the hospital-we feel relief.That’s very cool! Thanks view

I’m pretty sure that’s just the color scheme and their style but hey it’s still a creative way to look at it!
@@ave4734 )))
*vewn
sorry if I’m being rude
I finally understand what the portal world represents, we all know that the bunny is Marcy and the cat is Darcy, but if you look at how different they act to each other it’s obvious that the portal world shows what each wants out of the other, Darcy wants Marcy to spend time playing with her and Marcy wants Darcy to focus on what they’ve worked for with no breaks
Darcy: *cutely snorts pills like cocaine*
When marcy ods, it seems like shes blaming herself for everything because the demon kills her mum, hurts the cat which represents darcy and then starts to beat marcy up too. When the demon changes to be marcy in a demon suit, it implies that it was marcy all along and so marcy is the reason her mum died, marcy is the reason her sister od’d and marcy is the reason shes as beat down as she is now and is the reason she isnt mummas little girl as much as she wanted to be. her mum and her internal angel look extremely similar showing that her moral ground was based off what she thinks her mum would want but she never got validation from her mum so she ended up just scrapping it and thus blamed herself for everything because she didnt succeed as much as she thought she should.
That makes a whole lotta sense.
lmao do you want to do my literature hw it's literally having to analyze a book just like you did
@@vicktoriaholland I'll go next (jk)
Yeh, she also seems to take her frustration out on everything because of this, given it was her demon(self) who made her do it, maybe her frustrations that pushed her to kill her mum.
I don’t think Marcy was the reason for her mum dying or her sisters OD, I think she has been blaming herself for everything - she’s been bottling up her emotions and starts destroying furniture.
Honestly like, the color palette and the art direction is so glorious. The fact that there are no straight lines and everything is so crooked really emphasizes how unstable these characters are emotionally.
ur just like my literature teacher

just now realizing that the angel looks like their mother...
And why shr doesnt pop up
yeah Darcy was summoning her mother with the star circle thing and then the angel (their mother) appeared
The mother died and the angel is their mother
It is their mother, well a demon made version
I realized that the mom’s design kinda looks different for either of the girls, with Marcy the mom’s hair has two bangs like Darcy’s and with Darcy her hair’s down like in the pictures,, maybe Marcy kinda sees her angel as both Marcy and her mom or smthing idk
at 2:08 you can see that even marcy’s side of the sink is clean while darcy’s is messy. i love the attention to detail
2:36 I love how in this clip, darcy is shown to be very obviously smiling, while marcy is in a more nervous expression, but in 3:42 , the expressions seem to be swapped.
I don't really know what this means, but it's pretty interesting.
Some things to note:
-Darcy dresses up in a cat onesie, which looks visibly blue upon entering the so-called portal. Marcy, on the other hand, has a pink bunny sitting in the corner of her room which is visible at 4:20. Darcy also has cats filling her room. The animals each twin encounters within the portal represent the other and, more importantly, how they wish their counterpart acted. Darcy desires a comforting companion, and her experience in the dream world mirrors her crayon picture at 1:13, while Marcy desires a partner to help her achieve her dreams.
-Marcy's room is filled to the brim with trophies and, in many ways, is an exemplary image of a goal-driven person. She is neat, tidy, and has pictures of her family which build on this idea that she wants to see Darcy as a partner and/or companion. Darcy, however, is a stark contrast to Marcy in that she seems disinterested in appearances altogether and instead just wants worldly comforts. Her room is messy and is devoid of any trophies despite the fact that the twins compete together and, therefore, should share trophies. Despite Marcy's wishes, Darcy doesn't view tennis the same way she does and likely never will.
-The title likely refers to the world found within Darcy's portal or alludes to the fact that both twins presumably die at the end of the film, since the outside world is full of chaos, turmoil, and disappointment. The fact that they live in a large mansion is probably a red herring and employed for the sake of making this clear.
-Marcy's personal demon performs a lot of the actions her real-life counterpart does in the waking world. She smashes sculptures, hides from the angel who resembles her mother, lashes out at Darcy, thrashes herself, and eventually takes on her appearance as a whole. Marcy is striving to act more like her mother and as a mature individual but, in doing so, ultimately does the opposite by placing value on the wrong things. Even in the dream world, we see that it is Marcy's demon which resembles herself that ultimately destroys the image of her mother. Instead of comforting Darcy after her accident, Marcy goes on a rant about their competition and mourns the loss of her would-be victory and not her sister, a mistake which she fixes at the end of the video by making up with her sister and accepting things as they are.
-Both sisters struggle to deal with the outside world in manners that are not self-destructive and, at the end of the video, embrace the outside only to presumably be destroyed.
also i want to add that when we see Marcy's room, first we see a lot of big and probably very important trophies. They are biggest objects in the picture and contrast with dominating pink colors. Marcy herself drawn "unimportant" - small and hidden in the corner, so we have to look for her to even notice her.

Hurts so hard because they're just children. Wanting to be comforted loved and cared for. Initially we would judge Darcy for her addiction but when we learn that it's because she wants her mother. we begin to understand it. It got really sad when Marcy also joins in. It makes me wonder what the hell is this stupid therapist doing? He seems to target vulnerable people and gives them drugs so that they can come back continuously and pay all the money they have, because they're cornered by this abuse.
honestly, ur so right. i used to be so badly suicidal and my theraphist didnt care atall. in one appointment she said „dont do it or ill get sued for not telling anyone“ and all she wants is money.
