I get jumpscared every time my dad calls me "Bixbite" jokingly but then I remember I've used that name in some of my public accounts so

Annual ArtFight art drop on my thread coming soon

So obssessed over these videos and their style and storytelling. Some of the scenes are a bit gruesome but I feel like it really portrays well the emotion of the story being told. Granted, that as any interpretation of historical figures, you can't really tell how truthful it is. I've been so interested in these videos that later I'mma investigate to fact check because holy moly there's some seriously impressive details about these that I'm not sure if they're true or not. Please don't sleep on these and check them out cause I ended up really liking them lol

[The tale of a man who became Dracula]


The intergration of myth and reality in this first one is masterful. I have to admit I'm not well-versed in Vlad's real life lore but dang, I really like the characterization for him in the video. Character design slaps too. I can't imagine the pain of having to give up your son and protect your home country at the same time.
With the ending part of the legend reffering to "that woman", the channel has a video abt Elizabeth Barthory but I didn't like it too much so I'm not linking it.


[The last pharaoh]


This one and the previous one are my favorites. I never thought I'd shed a tear for Cleopatra but the way it's presented is just so tragic... again, the characterization really made me empathize with her and I'm not sure of how realistic that PoV is but her thoughts combined with the symbolism (like her son giving her wings) really hits in the feels. In this one, I particularly love how the historical narration parts are then followed by Cleopatra's direct thoughts and feelings. I'm more familiar with her tale, so I know some of the details wordlessly presented through the animation such as her presenting to Caesar wrapped inside a rug, but still, never thought I'd be sad over Caesar's assassination. Also Cleopatra's design is so pretty like her face is so expressive and it goes beyond normaly beauty, but holy-- Octavius looks REALLY good lol.

[Orleans ensemble]
And then there's this other one that I'm not sure how I feel about, but it's most definitely interesting. I totally dig the style too. I have to say I never thought of Jeanne d'Arc being portrayed as mentally ill. And I don't know what to think about that, I genuinely don't know how rooted in history that characterization is, but regardless I think the way it's presented makes for a really cool story to watch.


Btw, I LOVE they included the detail of that when Jeanne went to find the prince, she was able to instantly spot him hidden among his court people despite having never met him before. Just one more of the parts of the story that is shown through the animation and not narrated with the voice. I'm the most familiar with her story out of the videos that I've posted here, and there's such a strong tendency to see her as a saint (I think she's one but I might be wrong) and holy woman just like the ending narration says, that it makes me kind of conflicted to see a different representation. The way it's shown though, and how the narration even says "HISTORICAL FIGURES ARE NO EXCEPTION" (to mental illness), it makes for an awesome video. I like the way her supposed DID is shown with certain aspects of her "holier" character shown in whites and yellow while the other side and the hallucinations are in blacks and reds. It's slightly disturbing and I'm sure it's meant to be. The end is really chilling too. Like a genuine "what if?".

Please help me I'm so obsessed over this
