Experimental fmab animation thing that I started a long time ago but only finished recently
I was mostly thinking about Alphonse and how he’d struggle with nightmares/ night terrors due to what happened to him as well as dissasociation or depersonalisation which I believe he’d struggle a lot with. With this animation or whatever you want to call it I kind of wanted to focus more on like, atmosphere? Or like feelings rather than the usual stuff which is why it’s also so loose and sketchy looking. There’s also that nostalgia for him after he gets his body back and lives with the rockbells again for a while which I imagine is almost always tainted with a bittersweetness or just a deep, deep sadness, regret probably too. Being in resembool and getting to experience living there like he did 5 years ago (the smells,textures and tastes) almost definitely would be reminding him of the not so pleasant things that lead to his body being the way it is.
I chose the song “a quick one before the eternal worm devours Appalachia” because I thought it fit pretty well with the rural setting and also just the horrible dread lol. It’s also just a good cover imo. Too long, sorraayy
