Lil sneak peak of this god forsaken animatic. also its NOT stridercest, if you support that dni because thats grody. Lowkey my fault for doing a love song but I felt like it went along with my headcanons. Okur so basically Bro and Dave are like really dependent on eachother. thats it/jay.
Dave thinks bro is hot shit, supports him no matter what, etc and it gets to a point where everything is revolving around him. I mean we literally see this in the comic, Daves main hobby is his hobby because his brother thinks its cool. He 100% would never touch rapping if not for Bro. And all his other hobbies are revolving around bro to because while bro doesn't partake in them, daves main reason for doing them was to be "ironic" which was bros whole schtick.
Bro however doesn't love dave as much as dave loves him. He cares about dave but surely doesn't love him. And this is the thing people kinda ignore, Bro doesn't hate dave. Bro is a very morally grey character, he forces dave to fight him, tried to throw him off the roof when he was a baby, doesn't feed him right, etc. On the other hand, he cut a meteor in half to buy dave more time, gave him the only bedroom in their apartment, provides various things for him to pursue his hobbies, and besides jade he has the most devices, most of which being the newer ones. My headcanon is Dave is Bro's rock of sorts. He feels like he can't kill himself because he has a kid to look over. He doesn't do a good job at it but hey. In my head him not feeding dave is less him not caring about dave and moreso he just forgets. He probably doesn't feed himself either considering theres no food inside their apartment. Yes he's still neglectful and def shouldn't have a kid but he's trying at the very least.
It kinda sucks that most songs about toxic/abusive relationships are about romantic relationships. Especially because I haven't found a song about toxic familial relationships in this style at all. Kinda forces me to find a way to twist the lyrics into a way that isn't romantic. It's the hardest part about this god forsaken song. Ofc I love it, I actually haven't gotten this far on any of my animatics before, I'm like halfway done with my sketch, but I don't want to have to use songs like this for family members. I have no clue what im going to do for "and if your damn fine, then i'll bring my love like a 909" because you don't call your family members hot, thats crazy. I thought about changing the lyrics into ones that sound similar, one commenter on yt thought the line said "and if youre dead, fine, then I'll give my life like a 909" and thats good, that fits them, but I don't know how to do that if I don't like adding lyrics to my animatics. I never have and I tried I did but I dont know how. anywho, im trying my darndest. I wanna finish the sketch tomorrow since it takes the longest in my process. I've been working on it on and off for about a month, most of the work has been done in the last week. You can see exactly where I went back to keep working on it because I changed brushes lol. Yeah I only did 2 frames gave up and came back like 3 weeks later my fault. I added some text, h8ted it, deleted the layer, and I'm never going back :3 If I do end up doing text I'll probably just add it like captions to the bottom in the end because I HATE doing cReAtIvE typesetting it's gen going to make me pull a dirk/j/j/j
