8 | ''Draw With Me'' is an animated short made by [[http://mikeinel.deviantart.com/ Mikeinel]] set to a short-edit of Otsuka Ai's song "Cherish". It's about a girl and a boy separated by an unbreakable glass, and is considered one of the [[TearJerker saddest]] original works on Website/YouTube. |

13 | ---- |
14 | !!This animation has examples of: |
15 | * AllThereInTheManual: The extras above are mostly just things to [[TearJerker make you cry yet again]], but the EasterEgg in the video for "Who" tells you many important things, like why they couldn't just use a ladder. [[spoiler:Living things have a tendency to die when they pass over the wall.]] |
16 | * BeautifulVoid: The setting. |
17 | %%* BoyMeetsGirl |
18 | * CatGirl: The look of the girl in this, and the boy appears to have a wolf tail. |
19 | %%* ChekhovsGun: Dominant hands. |
20 | * CouldntFindAPen: The use of coal on the wall. |
21 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Long-distance relationship seems to be an influence on the themes, and anyone who has little contact with the one they love will tell you that it hits a little too hard. [[spoiler: The ending also alludes to organ transplantation such as kidney transfers or stem cell donations for loved ones.]] |
22 | %%* DownerEnding: The creator has stated that he doesn't like [[HappilyEverAfter sugar-coated perfect endings]]. He ''certainly'' hit his mark here. |
23 | * ExposedToTheElements: If that really is snow, these two are most certainly underdressed for it, especially the girl. |
24 | * HopeSpot: When the boy punches through the glass, [[spoiler: which then ''instantly'' reforms, shredding the boy's arm and many crucial tendons in his drawing hand]]. |
25 | %%* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Most certainly on display here. |
26 | %%* MeetCute: Done ''right''. |
27 | %%* MinimalistCast |
28 | * NoNameGiven: Both our main characters are this. However, [[spoiler: on [[http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=324208167620805&id=161009323940691 Mikeinel's facebook page]], he calls the boy Zefyr and the girl Lilian.]] |
29 | %%* TheNoseless: This too. |
30 | * PinkGirlBlueBoy: The color scheme, anyway. |
31 | * ThePowerOfLove: What [[spoiler:compels the boy to try to break through the glass]]. |
32 | %%* SeparatedByTheWall: A textbook example of this trope. |
33 | * SnowMeansLove: Well, at least the firefly-like things look like snow. |
34 | %%* StarCrossedLovers: Well, kinda... |
35 | %%* StatusQuoIsGod: Apparently averted, played straight, subverted, and then ''played straight again'' in a rather disturbing way. |
36 | %%* TheStinger: One that bothers a lot of people, to put it lightly. |
37 | * TheVoiceless: Because sound can't reach across the wall. |
38 | %%* UnusualEars |
39 | * WhamLine: "It feels cold." It's after this line that everything starts progressively turning into a heap of emotion for both the characters and the viewers. |
40 | * WindowLove: Or rather, wall love. The principle's the same. |
