Under the circumstances, that butler was pretty chill
*server/waiter
I’d say rock solid! But one should not take such service for granite
@@ladydnavarone3447 Maybe under that hard exterior he has a golden heart.
I dunno, at times he seemes pretty petrified
You are... Ya'll... I can't 😂
I have been sucked into the never ending animation void I’m not mad ,even tho I’ve been watching these kind of vids for HOURS
Yeah, they're addicting. But also good.
Recruitment Services same
Its honestly extremely fun
Dude,I am so damn with you
Me right now lol
Lesson learned: Real love is accepting each other's flaws and imperfections.
oo xxii
PERFECT SYNOPSIS...!!!
@@bigsparky8888 😊
Correct
But he has a snake inside his head
I thought that dude had a rat under his hat at first 😂
SAMMMEEEE
Same
Ratatouille has scared us all for life!
Lmao me too I thought this was ratatouille 2 in the making
Lol same
Nice animation, but they missed an opportunity to call him Me-dude-sa!
ื
And I oop-
Medusa?
Thats what my brother and I said! lol
lol yeah
Its a great thing that she accepted the way he is.
I mean who doesn't like Greek myths

@@uwaisabqorychannel3107 who?
@@uwaisabqorychannel3107 me? :v
@@annabellefitria731 Yes you.
The snakes are adorable. At least the stone curse isnt permanent. Snake dude is probably a freak in the sheets. Gage's nose is a sailboat.
Poor Gordon
I am scaaaared
Lmao quick facts
I find the snakes horrible
Male Version of *MEDUSA* 😁😁😁👌👌👌 very nice story
I’m honestly in love with this, the characters, the idea, the snakes, the style, it’s lovable! The concept of male gorgons are rare to be found and this piece made one that’s honestly quite adorable. Not to mention the snakes.
Who ever sees this I hope you a great day/night :)
Thank you! Same with you Kermit!!!
Thanks Kermit.... I hope you too have a great day/night :)
You too dear 😃
Funny
@@kirbygames6491 rockdog
I just realised that the snakes have hearts on their heads. Also, the lady's handbag has snake infinities on the inside😂. Such small details, but so wholesome
I'm not gonna look at the comments I khow some of yall came for serendipity
Don't expose us 😔😔😔
@@miwa8253 lol
But this is... Serpendipity
INFIRES 😂😂
And I oop- ...
I liked every thing about the story its talking about how humans are not flawless but how the waiter still alive after he burned standing 😂
The snakes turned him to stone before it got too bad
In the description, I actually read his name gorgon.
GorDON. Close tho.
Yeah, he's Gordon the Gorgon
I don't see it
Impressive animation as always with a great story💖
Don't hide you true self because of thinking someone might not like your beauty. A person who loves you will always support and cheerish you no matter what looks or background you have.
Adore interracial couples💕💕
Me. I am mixed myself.
Right?!
@@fluffy3652 what do you mean by that comment?
@@Alexa-mr4jn I was agreeing with them >.>
This is ADORABLE!!!!! I love everything about this short. The storyline, the lighting and shading, the textures and movements, the sound work, the compositing, ALL OF IT!!! I love the fact that the stone statue thing is only temporary, although it seemed to vary in the length of time each time. I adore the sweet girl, wanting to look good for her "blind" date, and refusing to wear her glasses. I felt so bad for the poor guy, he's just trying so hard to be inconspicuous, and those dratted snakes just keep messing things up! And then when the girl finally did see the snakes, she didn't turn ? What? Then I realized! Oh, it's only people who are mean or rude and make the snakes mad that change. Because she actually liked hum, and thus wanted to like even his unusual company, that's why she didn't turn! Brilliant!!!
I love that it seems like the shortest time was when he did it ONLY to save the guy from burning to death. Where when the guy was unintentionally being a danger it was longer. Probably since the snakes did it to protect themselves, vs. did it to save hi, knowing it was needed just until they could put him out.
The lady looks so cute she’s adorable with her glasses
I can just imagine the arguments and his snakes turning her to stone when they want out of a convo or situation lol
medusa in male version with happy ending , nice and funny
I know right it's awesome!
6:23 How he winks at his snake
Phenomenal. Seamless animation and such nice use of color and texture. GREAT models and effects. Another please.
Protagonist's biggest fear is not that people won't accept his flaws, but that himself won't accept them and be ashamed of them. Therefore, he always petrifies the waiter when he sees his flaws, causing the waiter to forget his memories. When the main character accepts himself, no one is turned to stone anymore, and he finds love to be very simple. In this love story, weakness is the perfect piece to create love. Perhaps weakness is a test of love. Something you don't like or feel embarrassed about, but other people might really like it
Oh man I love it 😂 3 cute heads ever so curious and protecting him ❤ and even saving the butler from being burn alive by turning him to stone
That was a great animation! Props to the team for working so hard!
Wow. I like the detail at the end credits: Server- Gage Pandora's Wine was more expensive than the actual food though. Lol. Property Damage.........................€ 1011 Coaching Services.........................€ 337 Nose Massage...............................€ 292 Pyrophobia Therapy........................€567 Gordon and Theresa: Gordon : Gorgon Greek Express and Theia Pl- Theia is the goddess of sight in Greek mythology. Thank you for making all these easter eggs for us to find!
Serendipity by jimin💜 ( asawako )
This is really cute. I liked how the snakes were nice and tried to help. Also, the art on the snakes was fantastic!
One of my favorite animated short of all time 💕💕💕 thank you, creator 😁😁😁😁
Beautiful and funny love history Short Film ✌️🍀✨💖🙏🏼
My ball python's name is Serpendipity so I just had to watch this and I don't regret it! Love this video you all did an amazing job!
Science Geek That’s an excellent name choice.
@@dirtypagan5793 Thanks! I know it's a unusual name so I was surprised when this video with the same name came up on my recommended.
Can I pet it? :3
jimin girls who clicked because of serendipity😂 | V
good... im not the only one
😜😂💜
mee XD
what about the boys but yeah lmao
His bitch is here what's up?
Just let me love you~~~💜💜
Ya'll ARMYS we sure have the same braincells😂😂
Clumsy Joonie EXACTLY
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ifkr
So true😂😂😂
We all share the same braincell lmao
Yep
Moral: Everyone have flaws, and we all try to hide it in front of others cause we feel uncomfortable. But there are people who will learn to accept u as who u are, so learn to be who u are, with ur flaws as well!
*This was so cute why do I wanna pet the snakes so bad aaaa I must give them boops* *NOW IM SCREAMING WHAT IF THEY ALL REACTED DIFFERENTLY TO THE BOOPS WAIT-*
Oh my stars this was adorable
'
I love this short film! I feel so bad for the poor guy since those annoying snakes just keep messing things up and I adore the girl refusing to wear her glasses to look good for her romantic date. If the characters had shown their true selves at the beginning, they wouldn’t have been surprised. I like very much how the director uses decorations, music effects, camera shots to show the idea of true love accepts you as you are.
Who started singing Jimin’s serendipity? Just me? Okay.
Butler: You turned me into stone multiple times, set me on fire and ordered the most expensive dish without paying the bill. Now do some dishes!
Now that is one talented waiter!!!
I completely enjoyed it... This was out of the box thinking and a fun modern view. ❤
Medudesa eyes is so well made and pretty. 😍
Dont know why, but I like the snakes 😂
Serena, I love those cute sneaks.
I hate snakeu
I don't like snakes much, I'm afraid of them, but I have to admit these ones are heccin adorable.
The snakes were the cutest ...afff Overall it was so good
JUST LET ME LOOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEEEE YOUUUUUUUUUU
**saw the title; Serendipity** : oh, Jimin.
Thats probably the best restaurant ever haha! And Awww, this was great
Moral of the story, accept people as they are (Don't try to change them, [unless they want to change for the better]'). Even if they have secret serpents living in their heads..... ). Congratulations on your education guys.
An amazing film!!!!! I absolutely loved it
I’d love to have some snake hair FRIENDS
What an amazing work ❤️, The idea of the script writter is like 👏👏👏👏 Hats off👍
This was fun to watch! Nice humor and animation.
I think I'm already addicted with this short animations.. They're just short but they do give me life long lessons... That "Float" is the 1st thing that I've watched
Best animation story I've watched so far, go go team serpendipity! 😄
I was listening to serendipity by Bts's jimin And then saw this 😂
And the worst part is..... It says, "serpendipity"! 😂😂 Our brain cells are too damaged to differentiate!! 😅
@@btsarmy2332 ikr!?
70% comments are from armys who got confused with names 😂😂
Jimin, im watching a non-kpop related video here! GET OUT OF MY MIND!
Ikr
This is not how the Medusa Snakes work: there is no turning back once you've been turned into stone. 😄
Hilarious, very good rendering of actions, and cute story. Bravo!
This was great! Such an unexpected ending.
You guys should make a feature length
3:22 The waiter be *flexin* tho
Amor cuando te conocí.. Te amo
The animation of the final titles really liked
AW SNAP, LOOK AT ALL THOSE LIKES AND COMMENTS. From Enchanted Ink team to yours, GOOD JOB GUYS!
SageOfMagic thank you!
It was a cute movie. I loved those snakes, they were such characters!
That's a great idea!! Find out if she's any good at washing dishes on the very first date!! Fantastic idea, thanks guys!!!
When I first saw him with the beanie, I thought Jughead Jones?
awww a male medusa? and beautiful girl! i love how chill the butler is !!! best short animation ever
Guess nobody taught that waiter how to stop drop and roll
"True love is when a person loves your true colors"
such a feel good, good vibes inducing film. very relatable on first time dates, sans snakes and petrification. haha. :) kudos!

@@backtokitchenfoodies3697 thank you, vinitha's child. I liked it a lot, too. lol
this might be what inspired jimin-
Moral of the story, WEAR YOUR GLASSES!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
i love that the mom wanted her son to follow his dream because she knows that baking is hers to fulfill but the son handled two of them!
YASSSSSSSSSSS A WHOLE SLAYAGE
I thought it's about jimin so I quickly press XD
damn he's the world's best & most chill butler.
Why are those snakes so gosh darn cute??? That’s my question.
Very professional work. Awesome.
I love the idea of the series, hiding some of your two aspects to make someone like you better. I am a glasses where and I know that sometimes you can take it your classes look terrible and I will admit purple does not look all that great on her but I still think it's really awesome
Great story and beautiful animation 💗
This was so amazing. I had to share it. Loved it
Reminds me of a song.... "Love me now~~~"
Very beautiful..
I love the ending lmao😂
I loved when the snakes saw her with the glasses on and spit out the water
The animation is great
6:33 ya'll the food bill went through the roof
WND WanZ that’s what I’m sayin , if u watch to the end it’s like $8k 🧐
Love it! I'm nearsighted, without my glasses, I wouldn't see it either!
Me, too! 👓
Fantastic animation 💖 I loved it so much 🥰🥀🕊
Anyone come here from seeing a short clip on Instagram? 😂😂
Imagine if they had a kid and that kid had snakes for hair and their teacher or mom had to redirect them and the snake freezes them and no one understands or remembers why or how time keeps flying by
IKR
This kind of animation is addictive 😊
That plate flying by again at 4:22 cracked me up!
Her secret is that She uses glasses His secret is that he is half Medusa Sounds fair
