Animation - Breathin' (Sanders Sides) Happy Birthday, Virgil!

EDIT: Before you watch the video
It was brought to my attention, that there may be some need for possible Trigger Warnings and just to be safe I put them now in the description. Please be aware of this before watching:

Epilepsy Warning:
1:06 - 1:09
1:12 - 1:14
1:21 - 1:23
2:07 - 2:10
2:13 - 2:17
(There are also other multiple flashes of white through the video)

Minor Blood Warning:
0:32 - 0:40
1:35 - 1:43

Suicide Attempt Warning:
2:18 - 2:40
(While it was not my intend, the scene could possibly be interpreted that way. For clarification: I wanted to visualize the feeling of 'Drowning in your emotions, getting pulled under deeper and deeper'.)

Potentially triggering sentences:
0:30 - 0:31 ''I'm so useless''
1:32 - 1:34 ''He was so much happier without me''
2:39 - 2:40 ''They are better off without me.''

I am sorry for any inconveniences caused.

Happy Birthday, Virgil!
___________________________________________________
This video took me forever to make but I was so determined to finish it in time for Virgils birthday and I am so glad I could make it!
When Thomas uploaded his beautiful cover of 'Breathin' by Ariana Grande, the idea for this project instantly popped into my head. It's like this song was written for our anxious emo nightmare.
I think I have watched the little mermaid movies countless of times to get references for the water scenes xD

Specifically for these two timestamps I used visuells references from the little mermaid.

At 2:33 to 2:35 I referenced a scene in the little mermaid 2, where melody is about to drown at

01:01:39 to 01:01:42.

And at 2:43 to 2:45 I referenced the iconic shot of Ariell in the little mermaid, where she jumps out of the water after being transformed at 00:45:29 to 00:45:31.

I hope you liked this project!
Stay Fluffy!

What do I use to animate?
I use Clip Studio Paint (Or Manga Studio, it's basically the same) to draw all the frames.
For the Editing I just rely on Windows Movie Maker.
My Tablet is a Huion H610PRO.

EDIT 2: By the holy lords of Crofters!
I can't thank you guys enough for all of those beautiful comments!
Normally I would thank each and everyone of you in a respond, but I never imagined that so many of you guys would watch and comment on this video. I am kind of overwhelmed by this and can't keep up with all of you. ^_^''
So everybody, thank you so so much for all those sweet words of encouragement, critique and even personal stories you've decided to share with me! I couldn't be happier, this means so much to me!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

EDIT 3: Sooo... Thomas saw my video!!! I'm so happy.
