A character-centric comedy about an unfortunately friendly demon and the apathetic highschooler he's supposed to be haunting. (more HD details + FAQ below)

Due to a request from a film festival, Welcome to Hell is NOW AVAILABLE IN HD!! See all of the messy pencil lines and every little animation mistake in GLORIOUS DETAIL!!
I've also decided to animate a few shots that were previously un-animated, and fix a few shots with missing frames!! It's all pretty minimal stuff, but there you have it.

FAQ
Is Sock a boy or a girl?
Listen to the dialogue and read the description, it's not a mystery.
What program did you animate this in?
It's a super primitive program called pencil and paper. You can get a crack at Office Depot.

@@bethanydavis9023 So, it's first session. We are all in the normal bar, yadda yadda, we get called over by this man who wants to semd us on a quest but first wants to know more about us. Our barbarian, fighter, and cleric all introduce themselves and their backstory. Finally it's my turn and I look up and say, "Hi, my name's Alanna. I murdered my own parents and my siblings and now travel with these guys." And casually looked back down. The guy was confused, but didn't ask anything more. My party just nodded, having heard this story before. And that's how my CE rouge was introduced. In real life everyone and the dm just stared at me as I tried not to laugh.

I just realized something. Jonathan telling Sock that he sucks at his job, when you think about it, isn’t actually an insult. Because Sock’s job is to be a nuisance and make Jonathan’s like absolutely miserable in order to get him to off himself. And as Jonathan stated, he sucks at it. Yeah, the way he said it made it sound kinda mean, but he says that it’s the reason he’s still alive. (then again, it’s just my two cents)
Or that Sock isn’t enough of a bother for him to actually kill himswld

Sock: “I suppose it doesn’t really matter, it’s not like anyone is listening or watching me right now” 15 million people: 👁️👄👁️
REALLLLL
Fun little thing in the dialog that you can easily miss. When Mephistopheles is questioning Sock at the end, He's intentionally hitting him with fast questions to put Sock on the defensive to rile him up. And because Sock is on the defensive he clearly states that he likes Johnathan without thinking about it. There is no doubt that Mephistopheles noticed the look Sock made when he saw Johnathan's photo. Due to it being sort of Mephistopheles' job to torment those under his purview, Clearly he knew that the Demon job would ultimately torment Sock in this instance. Basically it's doubly sweet for him because He knows that Sock will either succeed and he gets both Johnathan's soul and Sock's torment of causing the death of someone he likes or Sock essentially torments himself with the fact he wants to be with Johnathan and ultimately cannot truly do so with Mephistopheles not even having to lift a finger until he Fires Sock. No matter what Mephistopheles is winning in this instance with Sock in a personal hell, tormenting himself. Or I'm reading too much into it.
😭😭😭😭😭
As someone who has had this on the mind every day for 2 years you’re either totally right or we’re both reading too much into it
makes sense, a neverending process, a bit like being not able to die haha
I'm not a master of understanding manipulation, but when did sock indirectly admit to Mephistopheles that he liked jonathan, like what line
“I just realized I can get into your house whenever I want.” “Cmon Jonathon a little death never killed anybody” ----------------------- “SERIOUSLY GET OUT OF MY HOUSE” ----------------------- The internet in a nutshell: “You mean I get to kill people?“ “No, you help people kill themselves,”

This has been the most frustrating and weirdest few days Sock has had. He buries his parents while stabbing himself after, meets Mephistopheles, gets Johnathan as the person he’s supposed to make kill themselves, literally goes insane doing the job assigned, fails, and is told his job sucked. HOW IS SOCK STILL SO POSITIVE ABOUT THE JOB?!
So no one's gonna talk about how strong Sock was if he could dig three graves, drag three stones, two parents, and even bury them in barely half the night without even getting out of breath?
For some reason homicidal people are crazy strong
Sock is a total chad.
But he can't lift his parents fully-

I haven't watched this in years. This gave me a lot of nostalgia. For some reason I always thought Sock was a girl.
SAME
I very strongly believed he was a girl when I was 9 and argued about it for several days with anyone who told me otherwise and it's something that haunts me a lot even after being nearly a decade ago

For a kid who's a homicidal maniac, he's surprisingly polite.
It just goes to show that Chaotic Evil people can still be nice. I love that about him.
Hold on, you're onto something
Can’t like this officially because numbers :). So 👍
True
He's adorable!
Theory time: Sock isn’t some special case. This is their torment. Trying to kill someone but having to confront their own empathy for those people
makes sense
Oh dang! I like that! Also, it would make sense why the first person he is assigned is someone he clearly likes romantically after meeting him. What if Mephi assigns the person to their soulmate or something just to increase the torment?
Kinda like The Good Place
Thaddeus Cramer exactly, he was assigned specifically to the person it would be hardest for him to avoid empathizing with
Dont forget He cant kill him himself. So He has to cause death without the "fun" Part
PLEASE tell me this is going to be a real show soon. I need this in my life.
So I think what I like the most out of this is the fact that Mephistopheles doesn't actually want to torture Johnathan either, the same way he offered Sock the job as a demon. I love this idea of the Devil being lenient on certain types of people. He has a job to do but he's something of a sympathetic troll. It's not a characterization you see done well all that often anymore.
