I do love that Veronica walks in and decides "I'm dealing with a murderous psychopath, and he has bombs, and most likely a gun. I think a broom/croquet mallet will be a good weapon." I especially love that she's right.

[@hannahhuang5792]

Geek With A Camera She disarms a male who has a gun with a quick freaking wack to the arm with a broom

[@omegaonthefly1977]

Hannah Huang That is pretty realistic in many cases. If hit hard enough the nerves in your hands will send a message of pain to your brain forcing you to open your palm. Can’t tell you why but all I know is that much. My best guess however is that your brain believes whatever you are carrying is the cause of pain so it lets go.

[@hannahhuang5792]

True, and if you swing hard enough you could seriously injure someone with a blow to the head with an object like that

[@aeroflight1377]

I might use this for bootlegs Idk this is the first look I've had at the musical and I honestly love it....

[@sohftieflower8903]

OmegaOnTheFly It’s because when your palm is closed holding something the nerves and muscles are tense, when you open your palm the nerves relax. The brain sends a message that the nerves need to be relaxed, so it forces you to open your palm.

Why does everyone make JD so beautiful???

[@TheWaggishAmerican]

Because girls seem to have a weird thing for literally certifiably insane men. Just look at the massive cult of personality that formed around Dahmer and the entirety of the True Crime community.

[@adreana.w.2461]

He just a very smexy guy in general

[@lmaono2957]

He was beautiful in the musical and the movie lmao

[@9990zara]

the original idea for his character is making a more realistic “handsome bad boy with Issues”, a character often seen in 80s teenage dramas (as an example, dirty dancing). he has to *look* appealing so Veronica gets a crush on him and does stupid things like trying to flirt with him, the guy that brings guns to school and burns cigarettes in his girlfriend's skin as punishment and murders people cold blooded. musical JD is tamer, but that’s the essence of his character, the idea that love doesn’t magically fix mysterious bad boys. also, most internet artists don’t know how to draw ugly people.

[@rileyy31]

Veronica: step away from the bomb JD: *doesn't even question the fact she's alive*

[@Weavewing]

That's teachers for ya

[@MonumentToSin]

Yeah one of the major themes of the movie was performative sympathy - addressing the problem of depression and suicide in teens and how everyone just treats it as a "phase". All the murdered characters were staged as a suicide, and society just shrugs its shoulders and went, "Oh those moody teens! What're you gonna do?" No one cared enough to actually investigate their deaths, and the characters that DID talk about their depression and suicide were brushed off.

[@alixxoxo9853]

I feel like J.D. is such an amazing character- If you think about it, he's doing all this for Veronica. 1:58 "The only place where Heathers and Marthas could ever get along is in heaven." He KNOWS Martha is presumed dead, he KNOWS Martha and Veronica were extremely close. Maybe he wants to destroy everyone in Westerburg High is because he wants to send all of the Marthas and Heathers to heaven, so they wouldn't suffer anymore. That's what Veronica wants- For them to get along. He killed the two jocks because they- uhm- yeah- did that to Veronica. He watched her cry because of this and it made him want to get rid of them. 2:20 He had the gun. He had Veronica at gun point. But he didn't shoot immediately. Why? Because he cares. He wants Veronica to realize she won't be able to stop him from doing this and to stop trying. He's obviously capable of beating Veronica in a fight and getting rid of her. He just doesn't want to. Or J.D. is just a complete psycho and I'm overanalyzing.

[@avacadotoast5571]

Yeah, he definitely loved Veronica. In a very twisted and unhealthy way.

[@juanpablosalazar4336]

Now that we're overanalizing, JD's certainly not sane, but (whilst this IS something of a technicality), I think he's not a psycopath, but a sociopath, and it's actually a really interesting example of their difference, because if he WAS a psychopath he would be a very different character. PD: I haven't actually seen the musical/movie, and I'm speaking from what I know from this animatics and the internet overall, if I am right, that just goes to show how powerful this songs are for transmiting feelings and the story.

[@annaxangel1578]

(This is super late, but I need to appreciate this awesome animatic in a comment!) All this happens around 1:47 When JD is talking about Westerberg being a representation of society, I love how you can see Veronica feeling more and more upset about the whole situation. When she tries talking to him logically, she steps forward while he steps away. It's almost like he doesn't want do face what he's doing (almost like he's running away) I just found that part in particular to be really cool and interesting. :3

[@ashleylandsberg8679]

The line “I wish we met before they convinced you life is war” is such a powerful line. It shows that they still love each other and she wishes she could have helped him get better. He was the way he was because he let his emotions take over. He genuinely could have been a good person, but he was never given the chance by others but more importantly, he wasn’t given the chance by himself.

One of my favorite things is how in some versions, the scene goes: Veronica: step away from the bomb JD: I thought we were done faking suicides?

[@veronicalawson9321]

I love how even though she knows he's a psychopath and won't listen to reason she still tries to plead with him. Asking him to come with her and give up his murderous ways. You can tell how hard it was for her to do what she did. To shoot the one she loved so much.

[@Scooblique]

!! THIS IS A VERY UNDERRATED ANIMATIC AND I REALLY ENJOYED THIS! I'm actually rly sorry you've got so little views considering this has almost been up for a month! I really enjoyed the whole thing and your art is incredible I'm dead. (your JD headcanon is fantastic as well lmfao)

[@Anidoodles]

Thank you so much!! I know its a super crowded space haha, there are more than enough animatics for this song so I'm not very surprised about the views but I had fun doing it, and have really loved the responses from people who did see it!

[@patanella2788]

love the hidden bombs at 0:50 and the slowly flashing red later on 😱

[@RollerCoasterFan-fq4jf]

I love how at the beginning she’s like “Ok so, I’m going to confront my psycho ex-boyfriend who has a bomb and probably a gun so imma grab a broom to use as a weapon.” This was awesome and all the little details were amazing, loved it!❤️

[@GreetingsFineCitizen]

And she's so confident too "then I'm gonna smack with broom and save the day and no one will get hurt. Well, except JD"

[@_ipjebi_]

1:36 JD: This little thing. Hardly call this a bomb Veronica and everybody else: YEAH NO SHIT SHERLOCK

[@mikal1419]

The way you draw JD is entrancing, and is very similar to my interpretation on the character. Great work!

[@Anidoodles]

thank you!!

[@omegaonthefly1977]

I’ve seen some really good animations of this scene. This tops them for me, not for the amount of scenes but just the artistic design of the characters is so well done it’s hard to beat.

[@FloatyyBrain]

The stages of reading the title. Dead girl walking: 😳 -Reprise: 😨

[@skyslasher2297]

1:52 I can not take him seriously like this the word society has been forever ruined for me In a post joker world

[@katt-katt2606]

This song had never managed to make me cry, you just did with this animatic so congratulations, you're really talented by the way, you can get the feelings across perfectly

[@Anidoodles]

Katt Katt aaahh thank you so much!!!!

[@kairi123able]

i know im coming in like two years later but the ending where veronica still looks absolutely scared n sad even while she shoots JD is jst *chefs kiss* heartbreaking

[@antonioscendrategattico2302]

You gotta hand it to the authors, the idea to add the cheerleader chorus was genius, because it's so dense with double meaning. "Tell me what's that sound", when they have a bomb just under their seats, for example. I love that kind of play on irony.

[@sydneyholtzman906]

Wow, ur super good, I loved this, my fav one from u is the "ur meant to be mine"

[@peskyparrot496]

Veronica in a book club 20 years later Susan: so girls what were your high school boyfriends like? Linda: mine was the football player Karen: mine had a band Veronica: mine committed three homicides and tried to Bomb our school

[@red_five3325]

Susan: "Would that school happen to be Westerburg High?" Veronica: "Why, yes." Susan: "Good enough." (shows badge) "FBI." Veronica: "What?!" Agent 1: "FBI! NOBODY MOVE!" Agent 2: "Veronica Sawyer, you're under arrest for the murders of Kurt Kelly and Ram Sweeney." Veronica: "I didn't kill them, Jason did." Agent 2: "I'd save it for your lawyer if I were you. You're gonna need him to explain the second set of prints on the gun found at the crime scene. Here's a hint: it's not Jason's."

[@skyhawke223]

Oh my God... if I were in Veronica’s place and a guy- my former boyfriend- hit me?! His bombs wouldn’t even COMPARE to what hell would rage after that hit.

[@Xx_Yasomi_xX]

Normal teenage movies: Omg Emma is cheating Jake!? Heathers: haha bombs and dead people go brrr

[@michelletgs]

Veronica is so badass and awesome, how could someone not love her

[@tigerlily4703]

Ok ok but at 2:35, Veronica is my hopes and dreams, the slap is reality

[@Templog.]

I LOVE YOUR ART

[@Anidoodles]

Thank you!!

[@teddy30712]

I FRICKING LOVE HOW YOU DRAW PSYCHOTIC SLUSHY BOI

[@thepinkviolinist]

I like how in the musical Veronica is just like “got no time to talk” but in the movie she tells the teacher to “get a real job” 😂😂😂

[@mitchgarner4455]

THIS IS SO FREAKIN AMAZING LIKE HOLY SHITYOU SHOULD DO HAMILTONAND NEWSIESAND WICKEDAND LES MIS

[@Anidoodles]

I've been wanting to do hamilton! and Les mis is a good idea I hadn't thought about that for some reason even though I love it lmao! thank you!

[@mitchgarner4455]

Omigosh you replied

[@spacetrashpile7199]

Anidoodles yes PLEASE do Les Mis! There are like no Les Mis animatics out there, and I love that show. I'd especially love to see your take on the songs.

[@jonstorrey2654]

Also I like Rent

[@scourgelover8289]

Yes to everything !👱🏽‍♀️

[@AthyBunni]

JD: *Giving speech on how their school is a representation of society itself and that the only way it can fix itself is in DEATH* Veronica: *Pulls out the dead mom card* JD: "..." JD: "Well that was uncalled for." 😦

[@matildafermin3018]

I looked through the comments for a while and I was extremely surprised that none if the comments I saw were about JD's eyes in the last frame. It's so chilling how much fear/betrayal/despair are in his eyes.

[@-bxmblebee]

“hey yo westerberg, coming to put you in the ground” well- i- ya don’t say.

[@bluegirl7515]

OMG you did AMAZING job, those details I'm so happy that there still are who do the job on 100% I would love to see more of your work ^_^

[@beastside9400]

2:00 is the entire reason why I like the musical. That style change blew my mind.

[@Daylireena]

You know what? I DON'T CARE WHAT TIME IS IT, IT'S ACTUALLY 4 A.M. AND I HAVE LITERALLY 2 HOURD TO SLEEP BUT FUCK THIS I LOVE THIS HEATHERS ANIMATION GOD IT'S MY LIFE U GO GUURL VERONICA BAAAABE THANK YOU FOR CREATING THIS AND MAKING MY LIFE MORE COLORFUL AND PASSIONATE

[@funnyhuman232]

I’m in love with all the details put into this- like the timer on the bomb going down and stuff

[@xutieplays6582]

Um "911 i would like to call because a man punched a young women" *Police come* "Where is the abuser!" *Show them the video* "HE WENT FULL RAGE!" police "OH NO HE DIDN'T!!"

[@ellie-ld1uc]

This has to be one of the cringiest comments I have ever read.

[@ThCrkhd]

@@ellie-ld1uc correct

[@parneetsidhu806]

This comment is so stupid

[@nagitowokomaeda1730]

I don't even understand what this is trying to say

[@sharkie9975]

What even is this comment?

[@dotdedo]

Even though these are all still frames I can see the movement you wanted to portray perfectly. It flows so smoothly as well

[@madisongoodwin5246]

For the line “I wish your dad were good” the subtitles say” I guess your dead” 😂

[@gooblie]

You tell a teacher you’re a dead girl walking, they would flip
