Tighter Noose - INVADER ZIM Animatic (ZADF)

[@parkfever]

Idk why, it’s a little detail but the fact they use flip phones because it took place in 2001 is neat

[@gremlinrat420]

all of this artist's animatics have nods to the early 2000s through the clothing, tech, and other details. i think its really cool and makes the emotion more raw by adding realism to the setting

[@hyperdoezthingz]

this was absolutely gorgeous I love that Zim really cares for Dib enough to prevent him from offing himself

[@Doejrk]

WHY ARE WE OBSESSED WITH MAKING INVADER ZIM MORE TRAGIC THAN IT ALREADY ISSSS I SOBBED BRO

[@dimmsdale-dimmadome]

Not me being taken back to my hardcore pre-teen ZADR years 😭 this was absolutely beautiful

[@dimmsdale-dimmadome]

@@tayas_mindscapewhat can I say- the 2010s were a godless time my friend

[@baguette4607]

everytime i watch your animatics i start sobbing uncontrollably. HOW CAN I FEEL THIS SAD OVER ZIM CHARACTERS ALL THEY DO IS FUCK AROUND THE WHOLE SHOW BUT IM SOBBING EVERY TIME

[@hellocat1112]

REAL 😭

[@t1g_.0_.b1tt13s]

THIS IS REAL

FR😭😭

[@ireallydidntwanttomakeanac575]

"I'm gonna go meet mom now" This was incredible and incredibly emotional. You have done fantastically with this.

[@bluefox1901]

The part where zim gives dib and hug is the most wholesome moment in ten entire video and I love it 🥰😭

[@Person_LikesT0ast]

INVADER ZIM CONTENT IN 2024?? THE WORLD IS HEALING‼️‼️

LETS GOOOO

[@Invader_ZIM2024]

Legit though! XD

[@Norii1]

I absolutely loved the video, but Dib practically dead on the floor in the first 1 minute of the video really caught me off guard 😭

[@Nuggifyed]

The tear broke me 😭

[@moonycat]

I JUST WOKE UP YOU CAN'T HIT ME WITH THIS 💔💔💔 3:05 Mann you can't have shit in Detroit, not even your mother 😭

[@lunathejaguar]

FR WHAT

[@Nakia11798]

I was missing this fandom. Glad it's resurfaced again

[@peppermintthegamer6969]

THIS HAS ME FALLING TO MY KNEES GRIPPING MY HEAD WAILING SOBBING SCREAMING THROWING UP…. God this is so good I’m a little obsessed. Feeling the same kind of insane I did over the LosT animatic thank u

[@SeilerBeverford]

this has made me more emotional than any other media has in a very long time. mostly because I have been in both of their situations. that hug at the made me cry

[@Irk3nP4wz]

I’m so glad I came across this. Last year around this time I was having a super rough time with my mental health and to cheer myself up I’d binge watch IZ anamatics, and it’d help (well sorta) recently I’ve felt myself falling into that same depressive state and I came across this. In a weird way this cheered me up (even tho I got emotional watching it😭)

[@Tabs4812]

ABANDONED POOLS MENTIONED ‼️‼️ Srsly this animatic is so emotional and well made! Each panel is with such high detail and meaning 🙏

[@maryqus9125]

HOLY FUCK THAT WAS SO GOOD *inhales* It made me so emotional... As I have friends that had similar problems to Dib's I could feel the fear that comes with the thought of losing them... I can't express how much I love this. No matter what you went through or where you come from, you deserve to be here, to live and to be happy. It's difficult sometimes but... Let me just- *cries in the corner*

[@LucyPennies]

In a weird way, i think this encapsules how I felt for pretty much my entire sophomore year

[@twotime_buttercups]

SamI here honestly. I’m glad sophomore year is over. I thought it was going to be a great year but yeah nope-. Glad it’s over though-

[@LucyPennies]

@@twotime_buttercups fr i remember telling myself ill become better and itll be great only for everything to crash and burn

[@Kaskei]

I lost my mom when I was 16. It... It was a really .... It was really tough. I'm 31 now. I found out even though I thought I wasn't cared about throughout my school days, aside from my small friend group.. that outsider classmates actually wondered how I was holding up, they were worried (bumped into someone from my past a few years ago that finally told me this stuff) It really surprised me that anyone else outside family and my little friend group even bothered to think about me. That person told me the reason no one asked was because they were afraid to bring up hard memories. I had no words at that time, but I thanked them, because it just shows there are people even if you don't talk to them daily... There are people that care and even think about how you are even if you don't see them daily. All I can say, is keep trying on. It can be hard to just keep going, but you and your friends/family/etc. hold on to each other, grow and learn, and become stronger. Share your feelings to close ones you truly trust to not judge you and even if they can't help at least know they've listened to you and comforted you in some aspect. try your best. That's all we can do, find the little things you love/like and just focus there. You've got this.

[@parkfever]

Sophomore year was my WORST YEAR EVER. It was so terrible and I had the worst depression in my life, so i know how it is

[@AvaPowell-bu7yh]

I was screaming “omg no” like the whole time. I love this

[@randomgirly-girlsav1506]

Am I the only one who was screaming at my phone " Don't do it, Dib!!!" Because I literally was even tho he couldn't hear me 😅 Also was crying a bit

[@Psevdonim499]

Я ТОЖЕ 😭

[@t1g_.0_.b1tt13s]

[@catherineroberts6849]

I keep screaming at Zim *"RUN FASTER!!!!!!"* every time I watch it. 🤣😅🤣😭

[@airglowairi]

I just woke up and jump right onto here to watch it. Holy shit this was so good.

[@AAAAAHHH17272]

[@Invader_zim-01]

At the start: oh Wowsers it’s gonna be a silly little animation :3 Sees the warning and the sad music starts playing: wait a minute-

[@cyn._.absolutesolverr]

I habe been rewatching this for 10 hours straight, while crying

[@cyn._.absolutesolverr]

#lifegoals

[@Freak_anda_weirdo]

I’m actually crying my eyes out right now this is so amazing

[@st1nkBVG]

Omg this made me cry. The emotion, the animation/animatic was amazing. Awesome storytelling. AND THE SMALL DETAIL OF TURNING THE LYRICS INTO IRKEN! I might do that in my animations if I get around to making some sort of music video that’s IZ. BUT SERIOUSLY this was amazing

[@HeartOfArt7]

Oh, my gosh. I literally teared up while watching this. This was so tough. The subject matter was definitely not for the faint of heart. I just wanna hug Zim and Dib tightly. They both need so much therapy \(;-;)/💗 Your works really never seize to amaze me! Keep up the incredible work!! 🫶🏻

[@cressothegrey4354]

I never expected an Invader Zim and Abandoned Pools crossover

[@TheVoidDweller]

NEW INVADER ZIM ANIMATIC WOOHOOGKDNSK SJSK S jumping srounf at this, this was beautiful oml

[@galactic_space_monkey]

NOOOOOO IM ACTUALLY CRYING RN I HAVENT CRIED FROM A VIDEO LIKE THIS IN YEARS THIS WAS SO BEAUTIFUL 😭

[@Muffin-The-Puffin]

SAME😭😭😭

[@Duelkitten]

Beautiful, just beautiful. The hopelessness on dibs eyes, and how zim reacted to the note made my heart ache. I'm guessing dib's mother died after gaz was born? Either because of postpartum depression or illness. Hopefully dib can see he has someone who does care and need him.

[@DRAGONofFROST]

This is so AMAZING! I cried through almost the entire thing! and from when zim read the note till the end of the video, I was actually literally shaking. I had some problems last year that made me want to end it all, and I came extremely close to doing so... but i didn't, and I am so glad I didn't! I am so thankful to the people on KZbin, like yourself, whose videos and awareness helped me! Thank you so much! 💗🩹

[@OsvaldoToons-A]

BY SATURN! I LOVE IT! MY GOD I DIDN'T KNOW THERE ARE STILL FANS OF INVADER ZIM!!! WHAT A THRILL 😭😭💗💗💗💗

[@TheSaiProducts]

The way you set this up, it really captured one's attention. It really can hit hard, and the relief I felt at the end was sweet.

[@YesItsMyWholePersona]

Watching this again after watching the whole show and series JUST because of this video (DIB SUPREMACY ONG 🙏)

[@Rye-Bread04]

This was so good I got the smeared mascara look I kid you not I absolutely fucked up my makeup because of this 😂 😭 This was so good to watch, I don’t know the last time I’ve really thought of invader zim. Now I wanna rewatch it so :)

[@maly5390]

This is really beautiful and very sad, one of the few animations that made me cry 😢 It represents the sad reality of some people, ahh Dib my baby 😭 You just need love and a hug

[@carina_OuO]

As averse as i am now to more emotional zim content ur animatics still hurt me in a way no other fanart/fic has 😭😭 ur stuff is soo inspirational btw

[@wafflemonster1]

i love this, and just when i turned on the tv it was uploaded, thats what i call luck, maybe this day wont be so bad XD

[@billymkj2763]

This video deserves everything, this is one of those videos that found me, one of my favorite shows, one of my favorite bands, with a perfect thing I resonate with, almost too perfect to be true but I see it! It's a real thing that exists...

[@cephynight]

everytime i see one of your animatics i explode with a level of excitement i didn’t think was even possible for me. genuinely i love your IZ AU so much and i rewatch all your stuff, thank you for being such a great artist!!!

[@F3mboym4scdvd3]

I love this because even though zim says he hates dib he still cares for him- and like take moppineas of doom for example at first hes like i didnt even need the dib- then hes like miserable w/ out him like say what you want but like at the core zim is the only one dib really has like no one else really cares for him (what abou faz and his dad) they dont though like gaz tries to leave him being in enter the florpus and his dad never pays attention to him like to the point he refers to him as a fan or his boy child never once does he say 'i love you son or i believe you' we just get one 'im proud of you' n what he thpught was a hallucanation like but and xim himself has no one theyre just ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@F3mboym4scdvd3]

I realate to both kf them so hard like I once activley had to stop myself from calling myself dib and repeatidly scream I AM ZIM!! at people

[@F3mboym4scdvd3]

(More than once and talk about the paranormal and I regularly talk about cryptic and I activley call people pathetic humans like it's unhealthy atp

[@EmmaZacconi]

Casi se me cae el celular de la sorpresa, te quiero amigo, gracias por mantener vivo al fandom de invasor zim, espero que te estés cuidando Un abraso

[@Gachaco.]

My best friend is currently gonna be aways for 6 months due to mental health issues. I wont be able to talk to them for that time. So, this video definitely hits hard

[@SHAYNEMBER]

I hope they'll be alright ):

[@Gachaco.]

@RINKY_ISNT_REAL I hope so, too. I just don't know. I failed him. I should have done more. But, I couldn't. Now I'm just counting down the days

[@666pupz]

Thank you for making amazings animatics, I always end up tearing up.

[@toothcollecter0994]

This was beautiful =[[ I love invader zim so much. You showed the story perfectly. I could feel the emotions in every scene

[@coolindividual81]

Alright, here we go again. I saw this video when it first came out but I was having... genuinely the worst week of my life, and I know how emotionally invested I get in your beautiful animations, so I didn't come back to comment on it. But now that I'm doing a little better and can handle these emotional topics, I'm back to comment. This is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's smooth, the colors are gorgeous, the lineart is gorgeous, everything about it is GORGEOUS!!!! Again, the way you draw expressions is so... expressive!!!! I can REALLY, TRULY tell what the characters are feeling, and feel it myself. Your animations are the very first in a LONG time that actually make me FEEL what the characters in them are feeling. I really really love that about your art. I've said this, and I'll say it 1,000 more times, your animations are AMAZING!!! On another note, I've never seen any media portray postpartum depression at all! This is creative!!!

[@Eggcultleader]

Like Zim for example in this AU. He eventually feels bad for Dib (sworn enemy in the show/guy who’s being attacked above) because he sees he’s struggling. And also in a lost episode it’s said that he and Dib rely on each other (Dib needs to stop Zim etc.). But as I was saying earlier Zim has the same situation as Dib but it’s more extreme, because the Tallest (Zims bosses pretty much) don’t even care about him and sent him to Earth thinking they’d lost him forever. And later they said that they should’ve sent him to a planet of exploding heads and broken glass. It’s also possible that they could be friends if you take into account their similarities

[@Lunaris27]

Damn... this is so sad.. like, really.. I'm literally sobbing right now. Poor Dib... even the words that his classmates wrote for him on his desk were just cruel and.. heartbreaking to see.. ngl, I wish I could hug him.. but I'm glad Zim was there to prevent him from doing "that" to himself. That last hug was wholesome and tender. Amazing video ✨️

[@thepurevessel]

You make so many amazing animations and stories and I honestly really appreciate every single video every single detail you add, I think in a way I needed this. Thank you.

[@Glebsyen]

I rarely watch KZbin. I subscribe to channels even less often, and I like videos even less often. THIS VIDEO is a work of art! This is wonderful! Thanks for what you did!

[@thepurevessel]

OH OH **OH** HEY I'M CRYING NOW THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL and poor Dib man :( I hope that In this AU Zim and Dib can heal together

[@lolbitrblx3823]
