oh ny god this is my fic i wrote this im just *incoherent screaming* first off this is a perfect song for zoe & perfectly captures the mix of emotions i wrote her with. she's mourning the person her brother could have been, the one she never got to know, angry at the person he WAS and the way he treated her, then guilty for feeling angry. you perfectly captured the way I imagined these scenes in my head im absolutely reeling. in particular the "how would I know, I'm dead" part Connor's little smirk GOD its perfect and infuriating the way Zoe feels in that moment, frustrated at being haunted by someone who can never give her the closure she's looking for. AND THE ENDING I am SHAKING. I am at work and it nearly made me cry watching them scream at each other, unable to find common ground no matter how much she WANTS to love him, and watching as she reaches out to him the way she always wishes she had and he disappears. Your art is beautiful and perfectly shows the desperation and anger Zoe feels, repeating the same mistakes over and over, and when she finally tries to break the cycle and reach out Connor lashes out because he's angry and hurting, too. Their whole family made mistakes, even when their intentions were good they just hurt each other, and they never learned how to stop until it was too late, until Connor died. And Zoe has to live with those mistakes for the rest of her life, as she outlives her brother a realizes just how much he lost, and sees the family he could've been part of. When Connor grabs her shoulder at the end you manage to make him look so much YOUNGER. It hits home that he really was just a kid, that Zoe is the older sister now. The way his whole expression crumples when Zoe hugs him, like she hasn't since they were CHILDREN oh man. my heart. its exactly the way I imagined it. He made mistakes, he could be cruel and unkind to Zoe, and maybe they never would have fully repaired their relationship, but he didn't deserve what happened to him. He deserved to be there. The last shot where Zoe wakes up, cheeks stained with tears feels so raw and real, exactly what I imagined. She has regrets and she'll always carry the ghost of Connor with her, but she can keep going and she can hope wherever Connor is, he found happiness. Thank you so much for this. I'm still reeling that someone made an animatic based on something I wrote. I relate to Zoe and her relationship with Connor so hard and your art perfectly reflects everything I feel.
OH HEY!! Thank you sm!!! I’m beyond happy that you watched this and that I was able to draw scenes the way you envisioned them!! Honesty I’ve gushed about your fic a million times and I’ll never run out of good things to say about it. It’s one of the couple of writings that have actually made me spontaneously burst into tears ssjsjk- Just they way you wrote Zoe’s journey of grief and her complicated feelings felt so real. And there were so many gut punching lines that absolutely destroyed me.. it’ll forever be one of my favorites and I’m glad you enjoyed my little contribution :DD
I adore this fic! It's so heartbreakingly beautiful! I'm glad that Zoe got to reconcile with herself. I'm glad Connor & Zoe's parents were not depicted as faceless villains.
i already told you how feral i am for this but god ....... so so good the way the animatic starts with the frame of her turning around and then Again near the end that little scene bein completed?? chefs kiss and also just in general the Movement of all of this, like you're very easily bordering animation and its so impressive ;_; the EXPRESSIONS make me fuckin feel things they're so Real and messy and painful and !!!!!! hnnNNNGG
Lyrics for people (from the description of the song's video): Words that I force, sadly, back down my throat They still follow, trailing after me Words I spit out when the frustration takes me There's no taking them back now, that I know When I make the words in my mouth they taste like lies When I let them form it just smears away the meaning Not a single thing that I can make the way that I want I know, I'm simply worthless... I love you so, Vivi! And when tomorrow comes along Bye-bye is what I'll say when I turn and walk away Oh this sleepy little town, nearly ashes on the ground I'll leave it all behind, even thoughts of you and I... As I write down the letter I'd give to you All these things started coming back to me Even so, darling, as lovely as you are Not a thing appeared on the page, not a word Why does it always have to be this way with words? Why do they twist and turn into heavy, leaden lies? Why is it words fly away just like birds? Why do they turn to dirt? I love you so, Vivi! And when tomorrow comes along The us we knew today, will have long since passed away Just forget I said a thing, anything I said at all There's not a single thing I need to tell you anymore... Colours melting all in amber shades A balloon falls; flying away a caribou There, a legless turkey cast in bronze Dancing the night away a cheerful cuckoo Noisy, restless, the news keeps going on "Children from the town, they vanish one by one!" Though I cry, I'll carry on singing As a fish quietly watches me... Even though my heart is hopeless beyond repair-- I'll go onwards; I'll walk along with you I love you so, Vivi! And when tomorrow comes along Bye-bye is what I'll say when I turn and walk away Oh this sleepy little town, nearly ashes on the ground I'll leave it all behind, even thoughts of you and I... Oh, I let out all those words, and I finally felt your touch, And yet despite all that, I said nothing at all Oh, I love you so, Vivi I love you so, Vivi Say goodbye to me, Vivi, since that's all our love comes to
That color addition and 360 motions at times. You seriously improve every time. Hey have you ever thought of doing anything for the Percy Jackson series? I feel like your art style would work really well with it.
Thank you!! At this moment I don’t think I’ll be making any Percy Jackson stuff but idk that might change in the way future, we’ll have to wait and see :D
Ahhh,,, I know i'm very very late to this, and I haven't read the fic, but this was just.... wow,,, how wonderful. Hit hard even though I haven't been in the deh fandom in a long while. Everything's so animated, and the expressions so good.... amazingly well done,,

Oh my god this is so good I can’t even

Lyrics for people (from the description of the song's video):
Words that I force, sadly, back down my throat
They still follow, trailing after me
Words I spit out when the frustration takes me
There's no taking them back now, that I know
When I make the words in my mouth they taste like lies
When I let them form it just smears away the meaning
Not a single thing that I can make the way that I want
I know, I'm simply worthless...
I love you so, Vivi! And when tomorrow comes along
Bye-bye is what I'll say when I turn and walk away
Oh this sleepy little town, nearly ashes on the ground
I'll leave it all behind, even thoughts of you and I...
As I write down the letter I'd give to you
All these things started coming back to me
Even so, darling, as lovely as you are
Not a thing appeared on the page, not a word
Why does it always have to be this way with words?
Why do they twist and turn into heavy, leaden lies?
Why is it words fly away just like birds?
Why do they turn to dirt?
I love you so, Vivi! And when tomorrow comes along
The us we knew today, will have long since passed away
Just forget I said a thing, anything I said at all
There's not a single thing I need to tell you anymore...
Colours melting all in amber shades
A balloon falls; flying away a caribou
There, a legless turkey cast in bronze
Dancing the night away a cheerful cuckoo
Noisy, restless, the news keeps going on
"Children from the town, they vanish one by one!"
Though I cry, I'll carry on singing
As a fish quietly watches me...
Even though my heart is hopeless beyond repair--
I'll go onwards; I'll walk along with you
I love you so, Vivi! And when tomorrow comes along
Bye-bye is what I'll say when I turn and walk away
Oh this sleepy little town, nearly ashes on the ground
I'll leave it all behind, even thoughts of you and I...
Oh, I let out all those words, and I finally felt your touch,
And yet despite all that, I said nothing at all
Oh, I love you so, Vivi
I love you so, Vivi
Say goodbye to me, Vivi, since that's all our love comes to
I love it! I'm new to DEH, and I'm glad people are still making moving works about it. Makes me feel I didn't get here too late to connect
YOU DO DEAR EVAN HANSEN AS WELL OH MY GOD
Its fine I didn't need my heart anyways
*yEEts heart out the window"
This is beautiful, and captures the anger and guilt that comes along with grief really well. I am tearing up a bit
So I just read the fic and I am crying
This looks really great👍🐢🐢

Ohhhh gosh this is so beautiful!!! The emotions are SO expressive and some parts are so fluid and this is just all gorgeous.
