If I'm correct 2 to 3 people are already dead

[@leigh3693]

Can we just talk about how the lines “Maybe Prom night?/ Maybe dancing?” Are delivered real quick? Veronica asks “maybe prom night” as if she’s testing the waters, thinking this tough loner is going to say some typical one-liner about prom being stupid. But then JD responds with “maybe dancing?” In this hopeful tone that implies that it’s all he’s ever wanted on some level: to do something typical, to live a normal life, to just be seventeen, to dance with the girl of his dreams at prom. And once he reciprocates the desire to live normally, it just opens this floodgate of relief and affection when Veronica says “don’t stop looking in my eyes!” Like she’s finally got a hold on this drowning boy and is ready to pull him to safety. Those lines always break my heart a little.

[@spirtualbambi5056]

I love how in your other animatics JD has the black smoke that brings darkness not only into his life but starts to infect Veronica (when his smoke seeped under her door). But in this one Veronica has this bright smoke that brings light to her and JD and shows what could have been if he kept his promise. It's symbolizing how even though JD hates himself and is a dark and twisted person, she brings him light and almost makes him forget about his crazy ideas. I love your animatics. They're very creative and original. Keep up the amazing work!

[@MissyAsylum]

[@shaelynmartin1996]

But like, JD *did* keep his promise. Veronica made him promise not to kill anymore people. In return she said she'd stay with him. He didn't kill anyone else, but she still left. (Yes I know why, she was freaked out and paranoid, and didn't feel safe). But that doesn't mean JD didn't keep his promise. He only went to bomb the school because he thought the students were keeping her from him and doing so would get her back.

Rye Bread It's her to reach him and show him that killing isn't the answer. she wants him to know she loves him. but the only way she can is if he gives up this man slaughter...but she's also saying that she'll leave because it may be too late

[@caseygreyson4178]

Jacqueline Dorn It kind of represents her emotions in a way, and when they get to J.D. They make him feel happy showing how they could be good together if maybe J.D. Was a little bit less damaged. In her other animatics J.D. Has the opposite of Veronica, and instead has black smoke that's damaging to everything it touches, showing how by himself he can't control his darkness. That's why he says he needs Veronica. In a sense, he literally needs her because without her he's crazy. This shows how good they could be, but J.D. Becomes obsessed with the relationship because of how he feels less damaged with her. But because of that obsession, it ends up damaging him more than before.

[@RainbowEssence-c3w]

"Yeah we're damaged, badly damaged, but that does not make us wise." So true, damn, this was a good line. I feel like people often mistake having traumatic experiences with being more mature and more worldly. That's not to say survivors of trauma can't be more mature or wise, but correlation does not equal causation. I hate people who think of themselves as somehow better than others or wiser simply because they've had a rougher life. What matters is what you take from those experiences, that you use them to become stronger and wiser and kinder, not that you had them. I had a friend in middle school who unfortunately hadn't had the easiest life because her parents divorced when she was young and her mother whom she lived with didn't have a lot of money. Even so, it wasn't an excuse for her to act all high and mighty and treat me like I was lesser just because I had led a "better" life and both my parents were still together. And anyway, what she didn't know was that I was also going through some things as well. I just didn't flaunt it like a badge of honor the same way she did and tended to keep my problems to myself. But my life wasn't perfect either. No one's is. We all have our struggles and insecurities, even those who seem like their lives are perfect and they have it all.

[@localheaddealer1382]

People don't flaunt like her, but most of us come from broken families, nobody likes to share their problems to the world

THIS ANIMATION LEFT ME DAMAGED AND HAPPIER THAN I'VE EVER BEEN AT THE SAME TIME Also I really liked the contrast of the black smoke during Meant to Be Yours and the white... mist...?..,,Mist, yeah, in this one. Because smoke, like JD later in the musical, is suffocating, and deadly, and cannot be seen through and must be avoided, But JD at this point loves Veronica, and he is transparent, she changes him into something calming, something rejuivinating, (water) and something that is easily passed through, and beautiful, because together they can be something alright, rather than something dangerous.

pun master arty That would be beautiful Ha get it I'll leave

[@shortninja4372]

pun master arty I would but my art sucks

[@StarryOak76]

Honestly, does anyone else notice in this song, in the end, he doesn't promise JACK SHIT? He actually never SAYS he'll stop or they'll stop, just parrots back the chorus 'Can't we be seventeen' while she asks him if he'll choose her, and then just says he chooses her. He never outright agrees what he's doing is wrong or that he'll stop, he just says what she says back to her, in a way that's just enough to make her think he's agreeing. 'You're the one I choose' isn't 'I choose you over continuing', even if Veronica intended that meaning. He just chose to interpret it differently to keep her close. He didn't change at all, even for a second, he just talked her down. And the fact that both most of the audience and Veronica believes him just goes to show how effective just implications can be. He IMPLIES that he's changing, but never intended to. He fooled most everyone, including the audience. He wants Veronica, no doubt, but he never intended to stop, honestly.

[@christinacruz245]

i just cried

[@SnakeDaddy]

there goes my heart

[@vinetu73]

Well I think that in the song when Veronica says "so what's it gonna be, I wanna be with you" and JD says "I wanna be with you" Veronica's saying that she wants to be with him and is then asking him what's it gonna be ether he continues murdering people or they can be together if JD stops, she then says that she choses him and when he says that he choses her, he's saying that he'll stop because she literally says that if he choses her he'll have to stop, so JD is more towards lying then just implying really, at least that's my opinion.

[@shaelynmartin1996]

But like, JD *did* keep his promise. Veronica made him promise not to kill anymore people. In return she said she'd stay with him. He didn't kill anyone else, but she still left. (Yes I know why, she was freaked out and paranoid, and didn't feel safe). But that doesn't mean JD didn't keep his promise. He only went to bomb the school because he thought the students were keeping her from him and doing so would get her back.

[@vinetu73]

Oh now I see, cause before I thought that him bombing the school was his impulse sense he's never really felt that someone loved him before so when he heard that Veronica was going to leave him he didn't know what to do sense she was his only source of emotional support. Thanks for clearing it up for me.

[@BigChonk567]

I love how they use the music to tell the story at 2:40. When Veronica says "if I'm what you choose", a distorted bass note plays symbolizing the fact that JD would never choose Veronica over his own pessimistic views. Bravo to the score writers

[@1010lilfoot]

Ok, it took me 3 animatics to realize this, but there's a recurring motif of JD wiping away one of Veronica's tears with his thumb! It's a small detail, but as someone who loves recurring motifs, I wanted you to know I noticed that and thought it was very cool!

[@Ray-hk1zm]

There's also a motif of me dying every time JD opens his mouth.

Wow, this is incredible!! I'm in love with your animatics. One of my biggest pet peeves with heathers animatics is that people will just draw the characters standing statically, and it's really refreshing to see such expressive and fluid motions in all of your animatics. I also really appreciate the varying camera angles in each shot, since I don't see that often ether. Keep up the great work, I'm a big fan already!

[@ellispipermusic]

to someone who will never see this: i wrote a poem about us that's kind of based on this song. i miss you. 11.24.18 you don't know how it feels to love them until you're walking down the path on july twenty-fourth, two thousand and seventeen with their arm around you quietly singing 'can't we be seventeen' in the golden light and everything feels so new but somehow, they already feel like such a familiar presence after only a few hours and you think maybe there's something to this after all, maybe it doesn't always have to hurt and maybe (just maybe) this feeling is a good reason to keep fighting that lingering darkness in your mind. you don't know how it feels to love them until you kiss them for the first time at the piano bench, softly and sweetly and you just melt under the gentle warmth of their lips on yours so tender, so delicate and wow, it's so heavenly you can hardly believe it's real. you don't know how it feels to love them until you come so close to visiting them and then all your plans fall to pieces at the last minute and (not to be dramatic) it feels like your heart's in pieces too you're trying to hold back tears, fighting back that tightening feeling in your chest because god only knows when you'll see them again. you don't know how it feels to love them until you finally do see them again, almost a year after the last time and you want to shout their name and run to them as fast as you can but despite your shaking hands and unsteady feet you contain yourself as you walk towards them trying to be cool and ending up saying something stupid like 'hey, idiot' but they just wrap you up in their arms and it's like the first time all over again. you don't know how it feels to love them until they're walking with a boy with curly hair and they ask 'anything on your mind?' a light flashes brightly and the curly-haired boy tells them that he's in love with them and that it hurts to be in love with them because you exist and your heart shatters because you know just how painful loving them is when you know that they're not completely yours and you want to say 'curly-haired boy, i've been there too and it fucking sucks' and now you're crying because you're not completely theirs either and you're sorry, you're so sorry and they're the one you choose but you can't choose them and only them, not yet. you don't know how it feels to love them until you see how they sink to the cold concrete in practice hut number thirteen tears falling onto their glasses and dripping off the lenses, strained sobs shaking their shoulders because how dare you hurt what they love so much how dare you hurt yourself and you're terrified because you've never seen them break down like this you've never seen them so genuinely concerned and frankly, you didn't know they cared so much about you you didn't know they could (you had thought, previously, that maybe they were just using you, like others before them) but then again they've always been hard to pinpoint a beauty and a beast coexisting as one sunshine and storm clouds simultaneously complimentary colors (for example, yellow and purple) and it's only fitting that someone who is everything would be everything to you. you don't know how it feels to love them until she twirls her bow against the backdrop of stage lights and brings her violin down from her shoulder and the crowd goes wild but your applauding hands feel unbearably heavy because it's really over and it's time to say goodnight. you don't know how it feels to love them until you walk into practice hut number thirteen a few weeks later, after they're gone, and notice something written in marker on the wall i fucking love you and you can't help the tears that well up immediately and spill down your cheeks, dripping off your chin onto your collar because in this moment, it seems that no one has ever truly cared so much that you stay safe and happy. you don't know how it feels to love them until they tell you that they've got two tickets for la traviata and that's when you say 'i hate opera' but go anyway because, after all life is not the things that we do it's who we're doing them with. you don't know how it feels to love them until you're making a complete fool of yourself around them filling up afternoons and evenings with sloppy dancing drinking weird concoctions in the cafeteria breaking the tension with inside jokes shaking your head at their impressions and staying out too late trying to stay out of drama but getting caught up in it anyway saying things you never thought you would say doing things you didn't know you had the courage to do taking chances writing a poem as cringeworthy as this just to make that contrast hurt a little less just to try to stop feeling so goddamned much to turn down the amplitude of your bass-boosted thoughts (and well, shit this is basically plagiarism at this point). you don't know how it feels to love them until you're singing along in the movie theater obnoxiously loudly and all but dancing with each other in the seats and you think wow, just being able to be completely yourself around someone is so healing, so refreshing and you wish every weekend could be like this, full of smiles and kisses and joking around in thrift shops taking polaroids and walking along the beach spontaneously dancing on the streets to the macarena, or can't help falling in love and it's just so ridiculously disney-perfect it's hard to believe you'll ever have anything less than a happy ending. you don't know how it feels to love them until you're crying your eyes out on a monday night in florida or a tuesday morning in michigan (or right now, on a saturday morning, just before the dawn breaks) because damn, the way it feels to hold them the way it feels to just lose yourself in that feeling when they hold you tighter (even closer) and you rest your head in that sweet spot where their neck meets their collarbone, and you breathe them in, deeply, and you realize you're home. maybe you feel too much. maybe it's just you as a person maybe it's your age maybe it's all the drama you needlessly create maybe it's because you're slower to learn than everyone says maybe it's just how life works. but you don't know (no, you've never known) how it feels to truly feel until you know how it feels to love them. 'when someone leaves your life, those exits are not made equal. some are beautiful and poetic and satisfying. others are abrupt and unfair. but most are just unremarkable, unintentional, clumsy.' -griffin mcelroy i miss you, lux. deep down, you're the one i choose.

I'm crying so hard. The movie didn't give his character enough depth, the musical is infinitely better than the movie

[@catherinestump8037]

Minty_The_Sweet_Alicorn but the point of JD’s character in the movie was he wasn’t supposed to have depth. he was an abusive asshole, and the musical kinda glossed over that to make it seem like he loved her. but actually, he only used her, which made the ending much more satisfying for the viewer and veronica.

[@JulietteVeronica1201]

I love both JD’s for different reasons. The movie JD was a psychopath and crazy but it made him interesting because you often never see someone with that level of insanity. The musical JD was obviously crazy but he had a soft spot in his heart for Veronica because love does change a person. He was mad at the world but at the same time he still was his best self around Veronica. She kinda guided him out of the craziness. But when she was away he was back to his rage. Personally I think JD should have been more crazy in the musical during the scenes when he’s mad but the JD movie should have been more loving to Veronica in the scenes when he’s with her.

[@leahchriistiine]

I watched the movie, and the musical is definitely better, yeah.

I love how in your animatics, it’s like JD has powers of darkness and Veronica has powers of light. In others, we see his darkness, like black oil, sweeping through, killing everything; but here we actually see her beautiful goodness, shining ink-soaked pages of their lives. They are meant to be, but life got in the way. Maybe if her light had shone earlier, he could have been saved. It makes me both s little sad and a little happy at the same time.

[@gamingn6451]

I posted this on a Discord server when I shared the animatic, but, I love the point at 02:09 with the cyclone of white light surrounding them, it really perpetuates the long high note and pleases me (instead of other animatics I've seen where they just stand there looking at eachother doing nothing, trying to hold the note. Like jeez, it's feels so boring when they do that). Your animatics are so unique and full of life. I mean, the whole point of doing an animatic of a musical song is to step away from reality and creep into the bounds of animation. You aren't limited to what's physically possible, so for God's sake, use that opportunity. This is a perfect example of that.

Can we be seventeen? That’s all I want to do If you could let me in I could be good with you People hurt us Or they vanish And you’re right that really blows But we let go, take a deep breath Then go buy some summer clothes We'll go camping, play some poker And we’ll eat some chilli fries Maybe prom night Maybe dancing Don't stop looking in my eyes (your eyes) Can't we be seventeen Is that so hard to do? If you could let me in I could be good with you Let us be seventeen If we still got the right So what’s it gonna be I wanna be with you (Wanna be with you) I wanna be with you tonight Yeah we’re damaged, Badly damaged But your love’s too good to lose Hold me tighter Even closer I’ll stay if I’m what you choose Can we be seventeen?
