The interesting thing is, the submarine (or the people controlling it) was disgusted by something he himself created. Humans created the useless plastic and decided to mindlessly dump it into the ocean, but then tried to distance themselves from the destruction they created, until nature, playing by it's own rules, got revenge

Donks (Triondarkonus) Donks are creatures that was discovered a few months ago, and scientists are baffled of what they are capable of. Appearances Donks do not posses its real form, as it covers itself in trash and garbage, somewhat related to some crab species, snails, or no-shelled organisms. Without anything covering, they posses a black form with sparkling color changing eyes, specifically two, and has the ability to change its size, mass, shape, and amount of appendeges. Using the trash to its advantage, it is able to use them to make entirely different forms, seemingly able to change properties of objects Properties Donks has a very strange property, where they can go inside a Donk, and able to control it completely, and able to attach and connect objects, and able to make it float, and use it with any functions. Ex. A boot can be used as a nose + mouth, and the Donk now has the ability to speak and smell. Donks can seemingly change functions and capabilities, and these objects can serve as protection for these Donks. Location Underneath a certain ocean through a almost watertight hole where trash can go in, but not out. This might mean the end of the Donks species since if any water leaks out, they will not be specialized to then breathe underwater, meaning they are under (litterally) an excinctional threat if the water breaks through.

This was a lot of fun to watch. The ending makes me think it's about biology and the wonders/ horrors of microscopic life, again really fun to watch.

My guess is that the Donks, being mostly formless creatures that live at the bottom of the ocean, need to make bodies to inhabit. They would probably use stuff like shells and bones normally, but the waste produced by the society living on ground provides something better; trash that is thrown away into the ocean by the tons. The Donks are infinitely creative and can use the trash to make any kind of body they please, allowing each of them to be unique. However, they fight over materials because they all want the best stuff and can't seem to settle on any one form, and are even willing to strip a dead submerwhale (what I'm calling the submerine creature) to its bones of its metal. However, they are also able to work together to make something even better than what they can alone, by combining their resources and creativity. When one seems to be having trouble picking out just the right face and sings about it's plight, other Donks gather materials and help it build a towering form that amazes everyone else. It's expression doesn't change, but it's singing and enthusiastic clapping indicates it's quite happy with the results. The Donks themselves, which are the amorphic black creatures with glowing eyes, are weirdly cute in their own strange, eldritch kind of way. Though the submerwhale didn't seem to agree!

Hmmm I personally disagree with the final thoughts - I really think the guy at 4:08 is really in discomfort, that's what the imagery and music feels to me at least (the screams in agony and the fact that his expression is sad and the spikes on its head are constantly hurting him). I think he was the only one to be kind of fed up with everything at 3:20 and he ended up being merged with all the other stuff against his will. For me the two creatures at 3:36 represent two big businesses / networks, like Facebook and Instagram, that end up being bought and merged (like when Facebook bought Instagram) and end up creating the giant creature at 4:01, which is a representation of capitalism itself (its feet are the ones of the two previous creatures!). The appearance of the outsider submarine is to me the idea of alternative ideas that don't want to be part of this extreme capitalistic consumerism, but that eventually even they end up being trapped and consumed by capitalism itself - this is a very negative view, like there's no way to avoid and or escape it :/ I'm not trying to generalise 'capitalism' as capitalism = bad, but I really think this specific type of capitalism (the post-capitalism, extreme consumerism one) is not good for us. Even the giant creature looks like a DNA, like it's telling us it's part of us now. What are your thoughts?

The scene starting at 5:06 where the donks strip the submarine down to its bones is super reminiscent of those timelapse videos of starfish and other sea floor scavengers going after whale falls and stuff.

Here's my idea of Donk physiology: Donks normally appear as formless black creatures with many legs and glowing, color-changing eyes. They can only survive in one place: a dark, near-watertight cavern beneath the Omnipresent Ocean, where little light reaches. Donks are vulnerable to injury and attack due to their bodies being so soft and malleable, so they attempt to cover their bodies with a layer of protection. Due to the massive dumping of garbage and used avatar parts in the ocean above (which consequently float down into the Donk cavern), Donks have developed a dependency on the garbage, as there isn't much else to serve as protection. Depending on where a Donk makes its home can change its capabilities, such as improving its sense of sight or touch. Now, a single Donk is not very intelligent, but these creatures can link to each other mentally (and usually also physically) to create a hive-minded colony that acts like one organism. It is believed that the larger a Donk colony is, the more intelligent and self-aware it becomes. Interestingly, certain Donk colonies have different personalities, capabilities and traits depending on the Donks they are made out of.

4:50 I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything as cool as a mechanical in-universe sound (namely, the Submawhale reversing, making beeping like it was a pickup truck) so quickly becoming an out-of-universe forboding musical tone warning of danger. They’re both warning tones with insanely different weight and fear. It’d be like if a horror movie somehow made the squeaking of the rickety basement stairs and the violin sting of the monster appearing based on the same sound. That’s crazy effective.

Felix Colgrave is like a clown in a bathtub being pulled upstream by geese on leashes. You might not be able to understand the madness behind it, but holy FUCK is it interesting to watch!

After a few watches, it seems like the whole idea of the animation is that these creatures who once never had a voice, nor even a visible body, were actually given the chance to take on personalities of their own through these mounds of plastic, and by the end, are actually able to reach for bigger prey as well. Really cool idea that was executed perfectly, as always. Super enjoyable to watch!

@bahayesilyurt9433

I think it's just an outlet for felix to process the absurdity of prey-predator relationship: here we are in this globular object suspended in space, we dismantle each other and incorporate each others parts in our own bodies to grow and sustain ourselves. if you look into his other work, you can see this motif of predation everywhere.

​@@bahayesilyurt9433 I agree. I saw some critique of so-called late stage capitalism as well. The two who start facing off with an attitude of "it's you or me", piling hoards of material on their backs with no regard for the intended purpose of the pieces, then charging at each other while a crowd cheers them on as though it were a gladiatorial event. Also, these two creatures reassemble into one towering being with the legs twisting into a double helix implying natural selection; the creature reaching down and manually separating the strands seemed to imply that the direction things take is very much a conscious decision. In spite of all the destruction and horror the survival of the fittest approach has caused, the pig-nosed colossus seems to sing it's own praises to roaring approval. Moments later, everything is observed to be in ruin. Given that they're all constructed of useless plastic waste at the bottom of the ocean, I get the impression this is criticizing the assertion that the "free market" is a living thing that will ultimately make the best decisions and that governmental interference causes more problems than it solves. The recuperation of critical observation at the end was a nice touch.
