Holy crap there’s a 7/11 right by me and me and my friend always go their. I swear one day my classmates will hear me singing about the M&M I bought Sunday or the Pina Colada Slushie I love
Slushie machines have constant maintenance issues because rats chew their way into the machine, drown, and eventually cause a clog. Don't do hard drugs.
7- elevens from Las Vegas to Boston: “who’s this angry, miserable, depressed, violent, emo kid that keeps singing around our store and praying at the slushy machine???”
I don’t think he really became violent until after he met Veronica (Just in advance: Pls don’t think im trying to be rude btw, theres a lot of people who get bashed on for sharing an opinion and i would rather discuss than argue)
@@elokin300 I think that’s interesting. My personal thoughts are that he HAD those thoughts before, but having someone to love and to love him back (Veronica) tipped him over the edge. He did love her, in his own interesting way. His feelings to both protect her and to get revenge on society made him worse. I’d love to see what you think though. I love seeing different ways people interpret media. :)
It'd be hilarious if he had become some kind of urban legend among 7-elevens. Like, if The Heathers took place in the 2010s and they had their own internet forums talking about it. He'd be like the Bigfoot or Mothman of 7-elevens. XD
J.D, internally: Okay, J.D, remember what your therapist told you. Don't overshare. J.D:So I like slushies because I constantly move from place to place and also they help numb the pain of my mom's death which happened when I was young and they're one of the only constant things in my life, unlike my father who's neglectful. Veronica:.... J.D:........ J.D: Goddammit, every time.
His mother actually didn't commit suicide, she was killed because JD's dad... it's in the movie. You probably won't read this since I'm 2 years late ;-;
You know, this is actually really tragic, because with some therapy or really just a reliable group of friends, JD wouldn't have gone down the dark path that he did. After his mother died, he lost the only person who had ever shown him love. He tried to reach out to his father, who refused to connect with him, and every-time he tried to make a friend, he was forced to move before any relationship could form. On top of that, wherever he went, bullies just like Heather, Kurt and Ram would constantly try to hurt him and laugh at his pain. This left him torn apart by grief, anger, sadness, and depression, and with know one in his life who would reach out to him. Desperate, he turned to 7/11, using slushies to help repress his feelings. Suddenly, he meets Veronica, who does the unthinkable and actually reaches out to him. She connects with him emotionally, the first person to do this since his mother died. Because Veronica is the only one in the world that cares about him, he falls in love with her, and he wishes to protect her at all costs. So when he sees the same kind of monsters that have been hurting him all his life for no reason (the Heather's, Kurt and Ram) go after Veronica, he is filled with rage and he lashes out against them. When she leaves him as a result of this, he falls of the edge, finally breaking under the emotional strain of losing the love of the only person in the world who cares about him. This is where "Meant to be Yours" happens, as he convinces himself that the toxic people of the high school have blinded her. This delusion is finally shattered when she shoots him. While he bleeds, his rage fades as he thinks about all she has done for him, reaching out to him when he had no one to turn to. He finds her on the field and takes the bomb from her, convinced that the best thing he can do for her is take his own life as an apology for the damage he has caused.
Robert .Hawley Also his mother’s death was very brutal. She walked into the library when she knew that her husband is going to blow it up, and smiled and waved at JD through the window. If that doesn’t mess up a kid, I don’t know what does.
J.D: Okay this cute girl is on a date with me act normal don't do anything crazy "I really like slushies, I move a lot and it's nice that there's a ton of 7/11s everywhere" THAT'S GOOD "Also mom is dead and Im insane"
Olivia Kitty Veronica: Uh..you dumped a lot of personal stuff on me in just the first 3 minutes of the date, ya know that right? *doesn't take the slushy/bomb/drain clear*
That's actually quite good writing. It's meant to show that he's learned *her* name, despite normally not bothering, which shows she's the first person who's got through his barriers. Idk, that's how I read it
Does 7/11 have a protocol every time JD stops by? "Hey John! You were right, the trench coat kid is praying at the slushie machine." "I told you he was heading for Ohio! Hey Daryl! The fetish kid went to OHIO not Indiana! Now gimme my promotion!" "Goddamm it not again!!!"
Imagine the poor worker there the overhears this and thinks "What the fuck, man? I'm just here so people can get food, and gas. Then there is this guy, who is just yelling his life story and psychotic thoughts.. okay then."
I don’t have a 7-Eleven where I live, so when I was in Hawaii and I saw one I took a picture of the logo, then photo shopped the words right there underneath it
*the person working at the 7/11 be like* Um sir, please don’t sing in here. It’s so personal that you’re scaring the customers away. *FREEZE YOUR BRAIN!!!!* Sir what did I just say- FREEZE YOUR *BRAIN*
That bit at the end with the bomb was GENIUS! And JD's got a decent idea with this song; why risk an accidental overdose when you can just numb life's pains with a good ol' brain freeze?
There are so many beautiful details in this -the captions -JD's drink looks like the poison that killed Heather C. -The picture of JD's mother and him on the swing which leads him to falling to the feet of his father -that actually JD falls into the suitcase at 0:15 -all the people who turn into dust -the bomb at the end This video the animation and the details are wonderful
"...So you dumped a lot of personal stuff on me, huh?" "You think that's bad, wait 'til I try to murder everyone you love." "What?" "What?" *THIS IS WHY I LOVE YOU MISSY*
i feel so bad for any 7/11 person who has to hear this everytime A heathers fan walks in. ....BUT if they are a heathers fan.... ...this would be playing a bit,
Lol, the first time I watched the musical I didn't realise how much this song portrays JDs lack of mental stability, so listening to this song now makes me go "wow".
This song sends a really good message when you think about it... Don't do drugs or drink all the time! Just get a brain freeze! Happiness and a refreshing sweet taste! Slushies! The delicious way to fight depression!
it doesnt fight it away. Honestly, i view it as just another unhealthy coping mechanism and for of self harm. "fight pain with more pain", hes intentionally hurting himself to forget about his emotional pain
Hey, i know i'm like 4 years late, but I wanted to give my take on this. I belive that since JD specifically keeps saying "freeze your brain" and not something about how delicous slushies are, he's using it as another form of self harm. After all, brain freeze can be extremely painful and could be used as a substitute for cutting. JD thinks that it isn't self harm because the only self harm anyone learns about nowadays is from a razor, but that ISN'T true at all. I think that they were already hinting towards his violent tendancies and urges to lash out because (personally) when people get frustrated or anxious, or mad, they can turn to self harm or harming others. This point was trying to show us that even though he hasn't taken out his rage on anyone else yet, he is still in extreme emotional turmoil and is very much a danger to those around him.
okay but seriously let me be serious for a moment this is the most powerful message i've picked up from a musical. "And when the voice in your head says you're better of dead, dont open a vein" the message is LEGIT THO dont cut
not really its more of a solution to self harm cause he states ¨dont open a vein just freeze your brain¨so that kinda indicates it more towards that kind of thing as an alternative
I cannot believe I am a decade late into this beautiful musical filled with hope, angst, awareness of the deeper oppressions misunderstood during teenage years and..*squints at hand* ...slushie....
love how you convey how psychologically deranged he is with all the mood swings/multiple personalities and how he just sweeps the sadness away and the trench coat is top notch J.D's coolness is applied like x10 by the trench coat.
A lot of people are mentioning how he knew Veronica's name, even though he says that he never learned names, and while I know it's a joke and stuff, I still want to say this. The entire point of him saying her name after the "I don't learn names, don't bother with faces" is symbolic. He doesn't usually learn names, because he doesn't usually care. But Veronica left such an impact on him that he did. I doubt he would have remembered Kurt or Ram or Martha or anyone else either, but because they were relevant to Veronica's life he does. The entire thing signifies how much Veronica affected JD, even from the beginning, when he knew very little about her. That little comment puts into perspective how much she meant to him, which explains the blow it was when she rejected him later on because of the suicides. More than that, everything that comes after this would solidify his idea that trying only gets you hurt. The whole thing is really genius and I love that they included that line, because it really makes you realize just how much he cared about Veronica, and why he was willing to do so much for her. Sorry, I just wanted to share my thoughts. This ended up looking more like some analysis you'd get assigned in school, sorry.
[J.D.] I've been through ten high schools They start to get blurry No point planting roots 'Cause you're gone in a hurry My dad keeps two suitcases packed in the den So it's only a matter of when I don't learn the names Don't bother with faces All I can trust is this concrete oasis Seems ev’ry time I'm about to despair There's a 7-11 right there Each store is the same From Las Vegas to Boston Linoleum aisles that I love To get lost in I pray at my altar of slush; Yeah I live for that sweet frozen rush... Freeze your brain Suck on that straw Get lost in the pain Happiness comes When everything numbs Who needs cocaine? Freeze your brain Freeze your brain (spoken) Care for a hit? [VERONICA, spoken] Does your mommy know you eat all this crap? [J.D., spoken] Not anymore (sung) When mom was alive We lived halfway normal But now it's just me and my dad We're less formal I learned to cook pasta I learned to pay rent; Learned the world Doesn't owe you a cent You're planning your future Veronica Sawyer You'll go to some college And marry a lawyer But the sky's gonna hurt When it falls So you better start Building some walls... Freeze your brain Swim in the ice Get lost in the pain Shut your eyes tight Till you vanish from sight Let nothing remain Freeze your brain Shatter your skull Fight pain with more pain Forget who you are Unburden your load Forget in six weeks You'll be back on the road When the voice in your head Says you're better off dead Don't open a vein Just freeze your brain Freeze your brain Go on and freeze your brain... (spoken) Try it
"when the voice in your head says you're better off dead, don't open a vein. freeze your brain" Oh wow. that hit me hard. cause brain freeze has no real effect. it has actually nothing to do with your brain. it's just the nerves that freaks out. cause it's cold. obviously. but Self-harm can affect your blood and heart. sometimes you're muscles. and you can even hit a main vein wich means you could bleed to death. this kid is messed up cause he needed love. holy shit.
Fun fact! It's not just the nerves. Sure, they get mad because it's cold, but the cold constricts blood vessels. That's why it hurts so much. It's why places that are cold turn blue - there's lower levels of blood flow there. So, yes, a Brain freeze does in fact have an actual effect on the body and blood flow. it fades quick enough to avoid any permanent problems because your mouth is naturally warm and is in a high blood flow area(being that it's in your head), but if it weren't for that it could actually cause damage. That's why cold hurts.
Veronica: "Mom I have this friend that I really like...do you approve me to ask him out?" Mom : "Sure Honey, but is he addicted to drugs? alcohol? is he sane?" Veronica: "Well...he isnt that sane, but he isnt addicted to drugs and alcohol! just slushies..." Mom : "So go for it!" *and then he kills her classmates and blow himself up.* Mom: "Wow. That was a mistake...never drink slushies veronica"
I really love how in your animatics you draw in a visual cloud to show the dark thoughts creeping up on JD. Adds a lot more depth to the idea he uses the slushies as a coping mechanism and a temporary reprieve from his life.
Oh my god I love the little notes you read as Veronica, and the smoKE AGAIN AAAA OH MY GOD. THE FRAMES FLOW SO SMOOTHLY ITS SO CONSISTENT AND THAT LITTLE JUMP SCARE HAS ME S H O O K EVERYTHING ABOUT ALL YOUR ANIMATICS IS JUST YES THEY STAND OUT HHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'M LOVE YOU AND YOUR WORK
in the In a Nutshell of Heathers the Musical, for freeze your brain, this is basically the entire thing: JD:"Have a slurpee" Veronica: "no" "have a slurpee" "no" "have a slurpee" "no" "I have depression" "oh" "have a slurpee" "OK"
I CAME AS SOON AS I HEARD. Thank you, this is my favorite right next to Lifeboat. Edit: Turn on the subtitles. For the love of all things Heathers, turn on the subtitles.
Your animatics are always so creative and get the emotion just right. You really made it feel like JD was seriously struggling but continually suppresses it. I love it!
"so... you dumped a lot of personal stuff on me, huh?.." "you think that's bad, wait till I try to murder everyone you love" "What?!" *awkward pause* "What?.."
JD: Freeze you brain! Me: Hey! This song is catchy! *listens to the actual lyrics* JD: SIX MORE WEEKS WE'LL BE BACK ON THE ROAD! WHEN THE VOICE IN YOUR HEAD SAYS YOU'RE BETTER OFF DEAD! Me: *pauses* wtaf....
@Abigail Acre i was planning to do this for an audition for a school musical, but even with censorship its not very school appropriate. Maybe I should pick a song that doesn't talk about suicide and dead parents.
I feel like something important is that when he takes his first sip of the slushie he doesnt give a sigh of satisfaction its feels like a missing piece, like J.D. doesnt even like it that much anymore its only comfort is how familiar it is
Ryly Sorbito you mean the one that made him go KABOOM? Oh nice. I always loved that part when he died because everyone around me would be crying and I'd be smiling
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I love how fluid it is?? Oh my God?? And not only that, I love the way you portrayed JD's description of his childhood, how one scene melts away and reforms into the next one. My personal favourite is the one with his mom. Little JD jumping off the swing and falling splat at his father's feet in an almost pitiful heap was beautiful. I love the way he was thrown into that suitcase, how the apron and coat and hat were thrown at him, how he reels back at every object but he can't even so much as complain, so he just goes with it. I love how he brushes away the phantom classmate. I love that little flickering foreshadowing at the end. I love your animatics and I regret not clicking on them until now.
OMG THE THINGIE AT THE END WHEN THE SLUSHIE FLICKERS TO A BOMB AND BACK TO A SLURPEE WAS LIKE A VISION INTO THE FUTURE AND IT WAS SO EMOTIONAL AND UGGGG!!!!!
the thing about this is if you think about it, it's really sad. 7/11's are everywhere, and with them moving it's hard to find somewhere you feel like you belong.
Okay I only saw one Animatic of Heathers and that was "Meant to be yours" I just saw this one, and I can say that this is amazing foreshadowing of what's to come to Veronica for messing with Jason. Absolutely beautiful
I like the way you've done this. The dorky dancing is adorable, and I like how JD just has photos of his mom in his pocket all the time ready to whip em' out and be like "So my mom's dead". He really does need friends. Veronica kind of gives him every opportunity to have a normal conversation, and he just...keeps dumping his emotional issues at her feet, and she just takes it. This is technically emotional abuse - putting her on the spot, making her responsible for his emotions. He doesn't really deal with her emotions later - when she's upset in "Our Love is God", he's more concerned with his plan for a violent revenge he can pretend he's doing for her. I also liked how the smoke just surrounded JD and choked him and almost completely covered him before he managed to shout it out. That's kind of exactly how it is dealing with this kind of depression and stuff. This number is basically "Unhealthy coping skills: The song" - using physical pain to center or dull emotional pain does work, but it doesn't solve the problem and results in escalation as you need more and more pain to hold your psyche in place. Either that, or you need to lash out at others if you're looking for a quick, temporary solution to your suffering.
I was just in the mood for this song the other day :) I really love the manic energy your J.D has. Most draw him as the stereotypical bad boy with a chip on his shoulder. In the musical he's suppose to be fun, an oddball, and happy on the outside with a lot of sadness, pain, and depression that he covers up, and you do a great job of showing that. Awesome Animatic can't wait for the next one :D
Do you realize how many people would be preordering if you animated the whole play? Like as soon as you announce it thousands of people "I'll buy it now". Holy shit your work is Beautiful
So at the end when JD says “Try it” it flashes from him being normal and holding a slushy to him being inane and holding a bomb. I had to slow it down to catch it. It’s actually kinda creepy
Just a guy causally singing about his life in a seven eleven
Have you ever been to a 7/11? That's pretty much normal

....BUT if they are a heathers fan....
...this would be playing a bit,
See this is why I prefer the musical to the movie-this gives weight to JD’s life and makes the extremes he goes through later seem more reasonable
JDS DANCE
WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS ITS ADORABLE
:)
Neko Fangirl01 You have no idea how much I smiled when I saw that adorable dance. We need more JD being adorable
Neko Fangirl01 I NOW RIGHT! HE HAD LIL BLUSHES AND EVERYTHING!
Neko Fangirl01 the little finger thing he does is fucking goals
Neko Fangirl01 RIGHT?? ITS ADORABLE AND MAKES ME WANT TO PROTECT HIM EVEN MORE I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS POSSIBLE
Lol, the first time I watched the musical I didn't realise how much this song portrays JDs lack of mental stability, so listening to this song now makes me go "wow".
Jd: *Casually starts to sing in the Seven Eleven*
A person that works there: uhhhhhh
The manger: this happens a lot just go with it
1:43 The only time we'll ever see JD propose to Veronica
libero 413 toO SOON OH MY GOD
libero 413 ;-;
libero 413 I fucking hate you😣
SON OF A BITCH (Don't mean it but you maked me sad)
libero 413 1:43 413 XD ha get it also homestuck lf ya know what I mean
This song sends a really good message when you think about it...
Don't do drugs or drink all the time! Just get a brain freeze! Happiness and a refreshing sweet taste! Slushies! The delicious way to fight depression!
Star-storm Animations omg love your in a nutshell videos
Star-storm Animations it didn’t work well-
I love your Chanel :D
it doesnt fight it away. Honestly, i view it as just another unhealthy coping mechanism and for of self harm. "fight pain with more pain", hes intentionally hurting himself to forget about his emotional pain
Hey, i know i'm like 4 years late, but I wanted to give my take on this.
I belive that since JD specifically keeps saying "freeze your brain" and not something about how delicous slushies are, he's using it as another form of self harm. After all, brain freeze can be extremely painful and could be used as a substitute for cutting. JD thinks that it isn't self harm because the only self harm anyone learns about nowadays is from a razor, but that ISN'T true at all. I think that they were already hinting towards his violent tendancies and urges to lash out because (personally) when people get frustrated or anxious, or mad, they can turn to self harm or harming others. This point was trying to show us that even though he hasn't taken out his rage on anyone else yet, he is still in extreme emotional turmoil and is very much a danger to those around him.
I would love to see DJ just starts singing and doesn’t realize where he is and the employee just says “sir this *Dennys* “
JD: Crap now we have to drive/walk to 7/11 and THEN I have to start all over! I was almost to the good part!
JD
LOL who needs a therapist when you have slushies?
I want to like this comment- but I don't want to touch the 69 likes. XD I'm sorry~
Smarttpants welp. Some asshole touched it ;-;
Yeah-
goddamit i just got therapy at school with my f*kin friend. should've got slushie
JD: "Who needs cocaine?"
JD: "just freeze your brain~!"
*slips slushie*
Me: " *WHO NEEDS COCAINE? I GOT SLUSHIES* !!!"
okay but seriously let me be serious for a moment
this is the most powerful message i've picked up from a musical.
"And when the voice in your head says you're better of dead, dont open a vein"
the message is LEGIT THO
dont cut
just drink........ slushies
@Ihasmagma Animations Please let that be true. And if it isn't I hope your situation improves
Ihasmagma Animations dude do you want to talk? I mean I now I’m just a random stranger but if you wanna talk then just say something
AND DONT DO DRUGS, drink a slushee
@Ihasmagma Animations wanna talk about that i may be a rando but we can still talk
Manager: Oh God it's him...wait he has a little girlfriend. Aww that's cute, good for him
Wait til he finds out what happened in 2 weeks
… The whole story takes place in 2 weeks
I started thinking this was funny, then started thinking...
Wait, isn't this exactly what stress eating is.
YEP
not really its more of a solution to self harm cause he states ¨dont open a vein just freeze your brain¨so that kinda indicates it more towards that kind of thing as an alternative
Well, slushies are his version of cocaine
It's a mild form of self harm. Therapists often suggest to people who cut themselves to press a cold pad or something like that on their arm instead.
I cannot believe I am a decade late into this beautiful musical filled with hope, angst, awareness of the deeper oppressions misunderstood during teenage years and..*squints at hand* ...slushie....
I officially love this comment and it needs more likes
I'm even later than you and that is unforgivable 😭😭
decade? when you wrote this you were only like, 5 years late
Hey ya"ll I am very late, is the party over?
Rozie Abdurahmanova never
“When the voice in your head, says your better off dead, don’t open a vain!” -JD

@@lunammoon8503 party pooper
Alexander Dopp24 I’m sorry but what
I love how JD looks so innocent and just hurt about his past throughout the song and at the end you get a glimpse at the psycho he really is
I JUST realised that this is a metaphor for cutting. " Get lost in the pain." "Fight pain with more pain". How did I not notice that?
Actually just self harm in general not just cutting
Also "don't open a vein". He's literally using ot as an alternative
😮 WHOA why have i never thought about that.........
love how you convey how psychologically deranged he is with all the mood swings/multiple personalities and how he just sweeps the sadness away and the trench coat is top notch J.D's coolness is applied like x10 by the trench coat.
Nice touch with the little bits of text.
Thank you so much!
2:49 THAT WAS A GENIUS FORSHADOWING!!!!!! HOLY CRAP THAT WAS AWESOME
It took me forever to pause it right there cause I wanted to know what it was. Omg so genius
Aryssa Mansfield first try for me 😎
@@raisin4406 nobody cares..?
@@Bun.Ultimate.Author wrong. eVeRyBoDy CaReS
@@rice9455 "right"
A lot of people are mentioning how he knew Veronica's name, even though he says that he never learned names, and while I know it's a joke and stuff, I still want to say this.
The entire point of him saying her name after the "I don't learn names, don't bother with faces" is symbolic. He doesn't usually learn names, because he doesn't usually care. But Veronica left such an impact on him that he did. I doubt he would have remembered Kurt or Ram or Martha or anyone else either, but because they were relevant to Veronica's life he does. The entire thing signifies how much Veronica affected JD, even from the beginning, when he knew very little about her. That little comment puts into perspective how much she meant to him, which explains the blow it was when she rejected him later on because of the suicides. More than that, everything that comes after this would solidify his idea that trying only gets you hurt. The whole thing is really genius and I love that they included that line, because it really makes you realize just how much he cared about Veronica, and why he was willing to do so much for her.
Sorry, I just wanted to share my thoughts. This ended up looking more like some analysis you'd get assigned in school, sorry.
You random stranger, are very right
1:54
JD's dance.
I love that.
You love that.
EVERYBODY LOVE THAT BECAUSE IT'S SO FUCKING CUTE
IKR
I LOVE THAT AT THE END THE CUP HE'S HOLDING TURNS TO A BOMB???? YOU PUT SO MUCH INTO THESE I'M WEEPING
Thank you so much!
[J.D.]
I've been through ten high schools
They start to get blurry
No point planting roots
'Cause you're gone in a hurry
My dad keeps two suitcases packed in the den
So it's only a matter of when
I don't learn the names
Don't bother with faces
All I can trust is this concrete oasis
Seems ev’ry time I'm about to despair
There's a 7-11 right there
Each store is the same
From Las Vegas to Boston
Linoleum aisles that I love
To get lost in
I pray at my altar of slush;
Yeah I live for that sweet frozen rush...
Freeze your brain
Suck on that straw
Get lost in the pain
Happiness comes
When everything numbs
Who needs cocaine?
Freeze your brain
Freeze your brain
(spoken)
Care for a hit?
[VERONICA, spoken]
Does your mommy know you eat all this crap?
[J.D., spoken]
Not anymore
(sung)
When mom was alive
We lived halfway normal
But now it's just me and my dad
We're less formal
I learned to cook pasta
I learned to pay rent;
Learned the world
Doesn't owe you a cent
You're planning your future
Veronica Sawyer
You'll go to some college
And marry a lawyer
But the sky's gonna hurt
When it falls
So you better start
Building some walls...
Freeze your brain
Swim in the ice
Get lost in the pain
Shut your eyes tight
Till you vanish from sight
Let nothing remain
Freeze your brain
Shatter your skull
Fight pain with more pain
Forget who you are
Unburden your load
Forget in six weeks
You'll be back on the road
When the voice in your head
Says you're better off dead
Don't open a vein
Just freeze your brain
Freeze your brain
Go on and freeze your brain...
(spoken)
Try it
*The moment you realize the person put real captions on video*

Stop
Poor jd...i wish someone had helped him long ago poor guy...i can see why he is crazy
JD: *singing a song about how he gets high off slushies*
Store clerk: ...this is normal.
"when the voice in your head says you're better off dead, don't open a vein. freeze your brain" Oh wow. that hit me hard. cause brain freeze has no real effect. it has actually nothing to do with your brain. it's just the nerves that freaks out. cause it's cold. obviously. but Self-harm can affect your blood and heart. sometimes you're muscles. and you can even hit a main vein wich means you could bleed to death. this kid is messed up cause he needed love. holy shit.
Fun fact! It's not just the nerves. Sure, they get mad because it's cold, but the cold constricts blood vessels. That's why it hurts so much. It's why places that are cold turn blue - there's lower levels of blood flow there. So, yes, a Brain freeze does in fact have an actual effect on the body and blood flow.
it fades quick enough to avoid any permanent problems because your mouth is naturally warm and is in a high blood flow area(being that it's in your head), but if it weren't for that it could actually cause damage. That's why cold hurts.
Marcoispan it was obvious that he had depression from the start
he need more den love he need jesus
Wait a few songs.

Mom : "Sure Honey, but is he addicted to drugs? alcohol? is he sane?"
Veronica: "Well...he isnt that sane, but he isnt addicted to drugs and alcohol! just slushies..."
Mom : "So go for it!"
*and then he kills her classmates and blow himself up.*
Mom: "Wow. That was a mistake...never drink slushies veronica"
1:53 definitely my favorite part
Penny Elizabeth the captions help too
Penny Elizabeth it's so cute!!
Penny Elizabeth yes
Penny Elizabeth
It helps me forget that he's a psycho, he's dead and I can't hug him T^T
I would love to know this adorable version of JD better...
the captions are (cue dorky dancing)
Did 7-Eleven sponsor the musical? I'm just wondering did they ?!!?!?!
brianna Lagunas if they did they got a bad message cuz Jesus christ
I also just commented that but I promise I didn't copy I mean I just saw this
I feel like if they did, he would have called them "slurpees" not just slushies.
What is 7 11
@@jdjdfg431 I dunno. I mean, apparently 7-11s DO prevent murders, drug use, and self-harm.

Veronica's just like
"How the fuck did he make the smoke is it slushy magic"
I find JD's dorky dancing adorable!
I showed this to my cousin and she she was in shock the whole time and after it was over she was like "That ending was bomb!" I'm dying!! 😂
Lila Janick that ending was *bomb*

V: Does your mommy know you eat all that crap?
JD: Not anymore!
JD: When mom was alive-
V: O_o
I really love how in your animatics you draw in a visual cloud to show the dark thoughts creeping up on JD. Adds a lot more depth to the idea he uses the slushies as a coping mechanism and a temporary reprieve from his life.
Oh my god I love the little notes you read as Veronica, and the smoKE AGAIN AAAA OH MY GOD.
THE FRAMES FLOW SO SMOOTHLY ITS SO CONSISTENT AND THAT LITTLE JUMP SCARE HAS ME S H O O K EVERYTHING ABOUT ALL YOUR ANIMATICS IS JUST YES THEY STAND OUT HHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'M LOVE YOU AND YOUR WORK
Ahh thank you so much!!
MissyAsylum No,,, thank you for all of this.

“(JD needs friends)”
U got that right
Gosh, I always like your heathers animatics the best! They are always so original and fluid!
Thank you so much!
in the In a Nutshell of Heathers the Musical, for freeze your brain, this is basically the entire thing:
JD:"Have a slurpee" Veronica: "no"
"have a slurpee" "no"
"have a slurpee" "no"
"I have depression" "oh"
"have a slurpee" "OK"
“Does your mommy know you drink all that crap?” “Not anymore. When mom was alive-“ that part always gets me
I guess Veronica could marry that lawyer now
Sophia sHUT UP

I CAME AS SOON AS I HEARD. Thank you, this is my favorite right next to Lifeboat.

Your animatics are always so creative and get the emotion just right. You really made it feel like JD was seriously struggling but continually suppresses it. I love it!
Thank you so much!
"so... you dumped a lot of personal stuff on me, huh?.."
"you think that's bad, wait till I try to murder everyone you love"
"What?!"
*awkward pause*
"What?.."
FIRST
JD: Freeze you brain!
Me: Hey! This song is catchy!
*listens to the actual lyrics*
JD: SIX MORE WEEKS WE'LL BE BACK ON THE ROAD! WHEN THE VOICE IN YOUR HEAD SAYS YOU'RE BETTER OFF DEAD!
Me: *pauses* wtaf....
@Abigail Acre My lord, I should try this.
Imma do this
@Abigail Acre i was planning to do this for an audition for a school musical, but even with censorship its not very school appropriate. Maybe I should pick a song that doesn't talk about suicide and dead parents.
Retweet?
I feel like something important is that when he takes his first sip of the slushie he doesnt give a sigh of satisfaction its feels like a missing piece, like J.D. doesnt even like it that much anymore its only comfort is how familiar it is
WAT
WAT
WAT
WAAAAAATTTT
THAT TNT
THAT FORESHADOWING
STOP
;)
Ryly Sorbito you mean the one that made him go KABOOM? Oh nice. I always loved that part when he died because everyone around me would be crying and I'd be smiling
#STOPFORESHADOWING
2:37 I literally thought he was gonna just walk out after performing a whole musical number on front of his soon to be gf ..
Lmao same
This was amazing! The smoke, the frame switch with JD and the bomb, fade of younger JD.
I love this.
Thank you!
Mhm-
I just think the person who works there was like "What the hell is happening with this guy."
0:02 the way he looks at that slushee isn’t weird it’s honestly sad
I'M HERE AND I ALREADY KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE AMAZING
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I love how fluid it is?? Oh my God??
And not only that, I love the way you portrayed JD's description of his childhood, how one scene melts away and reforms into the next one. My personal favourite is the one with his mom. Little JD jumping off the swing and falling splat at his father's feet in an almost pitiful heap was beautiful. I love the way he was thrown into that suitcase, how the apron and coat and hat were thrown at him, how he reels back at every object but he can't even so much as complain, so he just goes with it. I love how he brushes away the phantom classmate. I love that little flickering foreshadowing at the end.
I love your animatics and I regret not clicking on them until now.
Oh my goodness thank you so so much!
0:22
*thanos jd :* SNaps fingers

*Oh NoOo-*
Underrated
OMG THE THINGIE AT THE END WHEN THE SLUSHIE FLICKERS TO A BOMB AND BACK TO A SLURPEE WAS LIKE A VISION INTO THE FUTURE AND IT WAS SO EMOTIONAL AND UGGGG!!!!!
the thing about this is if you think about it, it's really sad. 7/11's are everywhere, and with them moving it's hard to find somewhere you feel like you belong.

Okay I only saw one Animatic of Heathers and that was "Meant to be yours" I just saw this one, and I can say that this is amazing foreshadowing of what's to come to Veronica for messing with Jason. Absolutely beautiful
The Evergreen Daisy Ohhhhhh shiiiiiiiiii fuuuuuuuu holy irene
2:23 THE BEST VOCAL PART
I like the way you've done this. The dorky dancing is adorable, and I like how JD just has photos of his mom in his pocket all the time ready to whip em' out and be like "So my mom's dead". He really does need friends. Veronica kind of gives him every opportunity to have a normal conversation, and he just...keeps dumping his emotional issues at her feet, and she just takes it.
This is technically emotional abuse - putting her on the spot, making her responsible for his emotions. He doesn't really deal with her emotions later - when she's upset in "Our Love is God", he's more concerned with his plan for a violent revenge he can pretend he's doing for her.
I also liked how the smoke just surrounded JD and choked him and almost completely covered him before he managed to shout it out. That's kind of exactly how it is dealing with this kind of depression and stuff. This number is basically "Unhealthy coping skills: The song" - using physical pain to center or dull emotional pain does work, but it doesn't solve the problem and results in escalation as you need more and more pain to hold your psyche in place. Either that, or you need to lash out at others if you're looking for a quick, temporary solution to your suffering.
I was just in the mood for this song the other day :) I really love the manic energy your J.D has. Most draw him as the stereotypical bad boy with a chip on his shoulder. In the musical he's suppose to be fun, an oddball, and happy on the outside with a lot of sadness, pain, and depression that he covers up, and you do a great job of showing that. Awesome Animatic can't wait for the next one :D
Thank you very much!
Me: takes my best friend to a 711

Do you realize how many people would be preordering if you animated the whole play? Like as soon as you announce it thousands of people "I'll buy it now". Holy shit your work is Beautiful
"And ya know, ya know, ya know, her work is beautiful"
So at the end when JD says “Try it” it flashes from him being normal and holding a slushy to him being inane and holding a bomb. I had to slow it down to catch it. It’s actually kinda creepy
I choked on my drink when I saw it flash to a bomb at the end
Faffacake Jaffacake was that drink...
A SLUSHIE?
I love how you draw JD's eyes, they're always so expressive. :D
