Thank you Erutan!! We all love you and your music so much! Thank you for blessing us with your voice and talent. It inspired mine as well as many others!

That's a fox

I’ve been waiting for this video this song is so cool

I loved this a lot more than I thought I would, since I love Erutan's original video (with her drawings) so much. Great cosplay and acting, great cinematography as well. :D The girl who played the fairy even looked as though she were singing--I know it's lip syncing, but it felt as if Erutan's voice was coming out of her! And yes, both attractive people in the leading roles who matched their parts in the story. (Those gorgeous critters, too.) Great job, guys. ^_^

Miss Kate... We really miss you! We always hope that you're doing well in all aspects of your life! God bless!

Well. That escalated quickly.

@@misstressscarlet This is one of those songs that initially sound light, but if you actually pay attention is rather grim.

This song is basically about a man so obsessed with a dryad that he stupidly kills her and his obsession to have her

Now imagine he wasn't a total jackass and instead decided to live with her in the forest. Would she accept him or would he end up forever captivated by a maiden he can't reach?

It seems really stupid - imagine he is successful and every day for the rest of his life she will go on complaining about that tree

So true

You mean if he loved her.

@@cassandrabelyeu2419Pain: You mean IF he loves her Panic: If. IF is good.

Love doesn't exist

If he were Bengali he would've been from a nearby village, and there, seventy years laters he would tell the story to some young man who works or studies in the city and came back for holidays. And probably the furniture of their house was made of the wood by the willow tree.

What about the bunny In the maidens lap???

Yes ! And the bunny as well

and the deer?!

So many lovely animals! I love them all

I love foxes

Exactly.

Well said

It’s also common knowledge in some countries or some people that if you kill trees you are killing the spirit that lives in the tree. And since you can see that this girl wasn’t a human, that’s why she died.

3) and most importantly NO means NO

@@La-meiga-celtibera there's no spirit in the tree,the spirit is in your mind

I will love a version of Revenge of Maiden cursing the bad mens

Laura B stavo per scrivere esattamente la stessa cosa

same

as I do !

She is a Dryad, which is why she can not leave her tree.

@@TheLittledikkins Also they often die if their trees are killed/die unless they attend more than one tree. Then so long as the other trees live, one can pass and the dryad still will live.

I hate the turning in to a flower.

...and the Ax ... interesting shapes !

AA πρώτη φορά, βλέπω αυτό το επώνυμο... πολύ ωραίο:)))❤️ πάντως και ναι συμφωνώ

Yees ... I understand it as a metapher for every man who behaves this forceful ... that they only destroy things ....

@@tuilelaith7930 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e5tipdurl9nOgqc.html this is original

@Sykov Yuri I don't share your opinion on this. I really love that song but the video is setting me off smh. The Idea and Scenery are really beautiful but the Fem Act just does not do this for me. She seems almost arrogant at the beginning. Still great work thou! That's just my opinion on this

@@mellimon7239 well as much as your opinion is respectable imma have to disagree in the original song i believe she's genuinely meant to seem arrogant because she's probably (i'm guessing) isn't human was raised in forest and surrounded by animals i don't believe that the character understands what arrogance even is, as to the actress she was hired to play a part and (in my opinion) played it well. Not saying that your opinion is wrong or anything and, I'm not accusing you BUT maybe we shouldn't judge the actress as a person solely based of a part she played in a nice 8 minute video. all this being said this is just my 2 cents do what you will with it and have a fantastic rest of your day night whatever. -Edit: grammar fixes -Edit 2: more grammar fixes (i really should've proof read this before sending it off and i should've slept before typing this out.)

She's a forest nymph. She's not a human. In the stories, they're closer to fairies than humans, and forever bound to the tree they're born from. They don't understand human emotions or human sin, they simply exist as a spirit and don't carry any negative feeling, and they don't try to.

It might have helped of the actress was actually singing. It makes the lip sync look more authentic. But it was still pretty amazing!

Lol yes her eyes are very sensitive to light and the sun kept blinding her. Thank you!

It gave me that Innocent child-like vibe

I know why she is blinking so many times light and contacts not a good combination😁

@@marinakaiser7639 oh no

@@MisokoFukumoto what o no

It's a common _topos_ of ancient folktales, yes you can read it as "man falls in love with a magical woman" but I'd rather say it's more "human vs nature". There are many legends similar to this one, like the selkie for example. Each time the woman is connected to the nature and when the man eradicates her because of his selfishness she dies and he's left with nothing. Also, these stories take place long before feminist awareness

@@dianapohe There's no "it's more (...)" or correct meaning. Erutan made this song during the 21th century, and I am pretty sure she intended for the meaning to be as open as possible. Also the story of a man imposing his will on a woman is definitely not a rare one and is deserving of awareness as much as any other meaning. Also : "In Celtic mythology a man will often claim a sea nymph or tree nymph as his bride, but I never read any story where the fairy had any say in the matter." as said by the singer herself about her song, clearly this interpretation has its importance as well.

@@CosplayMay well, as you said there is no correct interpretation, this is why i kept the conditional tense in my comment 😊 and i never said you can't give it a literal interpretation. I only said that it sources from a certain kind of topos, which in turn has this open interpretation itself, yes

yessssss

He was blinded by want and lust. she told him many times that she cannot leave this place, her tree, and so he just thought if he got rid of it then he can take care of her he can own her.

It´s based on similar folk tales where a human man takes a fairy/other magical being from the woods to marry, and the creators noted that usually in those stories the fey in question doesn´t get much say in the matter... So they made this story as a worst case scenario of what grabbing a fairy without asking her could lead to. Though in this case it´s even worse because she explicitly said she didn´t want to marry him so it´s just a real asshole move

@@atimidbirb also like the selkies or scottish mermaids, when they take their skin/tail off and a man steals it to force them to stay in land. But those at least, usually end with her finding the skin/tail in some way and leaving back to the sea to never return. Still, concerning amount of lack of consent in these " man falls for supernatural girl" leyends.

@@nessyness5447 Oh same. It's always played out like a tragedy like 'the man found true love and had to keep her with him somehow!'... but like, you straight up kidnapped the fae. Of course she wouldn't stay with you if she could help it

он просто хотел сделать ее нормальной, своей девушкой, женой среди людей, чтобы жить обычной трудовой жизнью. по сути, дать ей свой мир, не понимая, что его мир лишь часть её природы.

I was always surprised some people thought she wanted to marry the axe-man… But I suppose I can see your perspective…

I always thought he was a creep who overreacted to “no” with an axe.

@@cassandrabelyeu2419 I thought that she would come out of the willow to see him everyday (like a sort of nymph) but would never leave and the axeman thought the willow was a sort of prison so he chopped it down but then saw it was actually a part of her spirit, idk anyways this puts it into another perspective

@@kyra5783 Huh. I thought that she was hanging out at her tree because she lived there, and he found out where it was, so he started coming to see her.

@@cassandrabelyeu2419 that's what I thought when I saw the video

My thoughts exactly

Just men man. A woman wouldn't do that.

@@Ghostkar Wow XD U sure love to judge people by gender

@@Ghostkar XD bullshit! a woman would do that and even worse

@@Ghostkar Some women would still. You should see the horrid evil of the women who are serial killers or aids to serial killers. Or some of the mothers who have murdered either their husbands or children (sometimes both). Stepmothers who murdered the step-child. I watch a lot of true crime and while women are less often and less likely to do such things, women still do sometimes. Men, on average, are more likely and more often guilty of this degree of selfishness, yes, yet women still can do so as well.

But he used a hand ax instead a large ax

Btw I can see why you turned off comments on The Washing Machine short film you did. It was brilliant, very moving, that last bit when she ran inside looking for Gabby, I knew the ending already. I taught in several inner city and rural schools with very poor families. I came very close more than once to taking a few parents apart over situations like that especially some fathers. One school I was at serve grades 6-12,- I taught grades 6-8 but made many friends among the older students. One girl, showed me and the gym coach the drugs she was going to see that day so she could feed her 2 younger siblings and herself. She did not use, she was trying to graduate (11th grade at the time) so she could take custody of the kids. Her dad only came around when he needed a place to crash or to steal something to sell. Her mom was a crack whore and spent every bit of money on drugs and clothes for herself. We could not turn her in, she knew that. She was always asking for advice how to survive and escape- the coach came from the same area and same circumstances and I have a way with people, especially students, they trust me and know I would never do wrong for them. That kind of situation and the one in your film are far too common, more common that the public knows or wants to know. That film should be submitted for an award. It reminds me a lot of the sort film "Cipher in the Snow" ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9WKd92mrba1hqc.html). You have some real talent.

Greetings fellow Northerner! And many thanks!!
