Wishing Well || Shubble Empires SMP Animatic

WARNING: This video contains flashing images!! Please stay safe!!
This is my first animatic, I hope you like it! I've been working on it over the past month and a half, so if you notice a change in the artwork and stuff, that'd be why. I'm happy with how this turned out, and even happier that in the time since I started, nothing has really come out to contradict this whole story I imagined!
Spoilers for the animatic, but the story is essentially my headcanons on pre-canon Shrub lore! It goes something like this: Shrub's childhood home was corrupted by Xornoth, helped by her after she made a deal with them (? I am still not 100% sold on this but ah well). That's why she escaped, although she didn't remember doing so and was scared of them when they appeared in Empires. Xornoth uses her as a sort-of vessel to escape what became the Nether, and to reach the kingdoms, but it takes a bit before they can join her.
When they find Shrub again, they pull her into another deal, similar to the one they made when she was younger, except this time she is possessed and fully on their side, mainly because I wanted to draw demon!Shrub.
Other headcanons include that mushroom hats are a part of the culture of Shrub's homeland, which is why her parents have a large flat cap and a hairpiece based on mushrooms themselves. I also imagine that Shrub wandered around for a while before settling down and founding the Undergrove.
