Sincerely me! ||| Talltail and Jake - Animatic

Happy pride month everyone!
I am happy that this little animatic came out in June (I started It way earlier but school happend). Talltail or Tallstar is one of my top 10 favorite characters and my favorite leader out of all. It was hard to read about his death.

Song: Sincerely me! - Dear Evan Hansen musical
Characters belongs to Erin Hunter. Design for them is mine.

[@liamwhite3522]

Y'know, this would be awesome, but if you apply the pretenses of the song to their relationship, it's really bad. ᵀʰᵉ ˢᵒᶰᵍˢ ʳᵉᵃᶫᶫʸ ᵍᵒᵒᵈ ᵗʰᵒ This is a song about making up a friendship between a dead person and likely the main cause of his suicide. ᵀʰᵉ ᵃᶰᶦᵐᵃᵗᶦᵒᶰ'ˢ ᵍʳᵉᵃᵗ ᵗᵒᵒ That's not good. ᵀʰᶦˢ ˢʰᶦᵖ ᶦˢ ᵐʸ ᶫᶦᶠᵉ

[@tystotallyradicaltoenail]

Liam White I mean yeah, it is. But multiple people use it for different reasons. Of course the original song is kinda dark if you take away the bouncy song and singing. The musical is probably my favourite of all time. But I personally like when people take their own spin on the song with different characters. It's interesting to see what people can make of it, making it into the bouncy song it is at first glance.

[@samarabrown7838]

They were saying the roles were constantly changing the two cat's were each character at least. They were just saying the actual performance is pretty different

[@Habitat319213Josie]

God... My favorite book turned into an amazing song that explains the journey between two great "friends". I never expected it, and you made it happen. Thank you

[@nagitowokomaeda1730]

Popeeisgay666 Yeah. Mind if I compare this song to me inside of me from heathers? Because it's kinda the same thing in a way. They're making Connor sound like air supply.

pov: you’re me watching this four years ago and going “haha this is such a good animatic dear evan hansen sounds like such a fun musical!”

[@plop283]

I really liked this idea but I feel the roles should have changed. Talltail should be Conner and Jake Evan since Talltail was the one with most of the issues and Jake more helped him through it.

[@-Shelly-]

Yeah I know, but I chose Jake to be Conor not because "problems" but because he seems to be more like extrovert in here ^^ Like more crazy party person while Talltail is the introvert guy with brain that he is using for good :'D

[@nobodyisherenow9596]

And then sometimes the roles switch and Jake has Evan's lines and Jared's lines just switch between the two imsosorryiwasjustkindofconfused

[@georgemillward9706]

Nah,the roles were okay but I thought treating both them writing the emails and the words in the emails as the exact same thing was confusing.

[@lavalamp9007]

But what about Jared?!? There's no Jared???

[@lauraceae8037]

The roles constantly changed because this is originally a three-person song, but here it's two people so roles are a bit off.

[@ariari-lj7yx]

I'm entirely convinced that the only two things that the song has with the two characters are "forest expertise" and the fact that two people in the song are supposed to be friends. I'm _also_ entirely convinced that I'm going to quietly obsess over it anyway.

[@fangdelabang178]

Yes I do dislike Connor's parents, they were just so monotone about everything in my eyes. The only character I could really relate to and like is Evan's mother, she sacrificed her life to try and make him happy and she ended up hurting him but only when she knew it was right.
