@@oliviakim3508 of course! I will hug everything in a 2 mile radius! Also i think im falling inti the second category and covid isnt helping since the only person im talking to is my mom and im an extrovert. I do try to talk to people online but technically grounded right now (i said i knew how the pope was elected with "too much attitute" three weeks ago) but luckily i found a loophole to get into ytube and chrome
Martha is my favourite character because she represents this childlike purity that nobody else has. Even Veronica, the one we're supposed to be rooting for, is swayed to the "dark side," so to speak. But Martha never really grew up, and she has this sort of innocence to her that's both beautiful and really hard to watch.
I think the part where Martha tried to kill her self was when she lost a little innocence. Remember at the beginning on the musical she said “I’m a sucker for happy endings”. And then at the end she said “are there any happy endings”. She lost some of that innocence throughout the show. Actually when you think of it, a lot of the characters changed throughout the musical
McNamara tried to kill herself Veronica saved her Martha tried to kill herself She just broke a few bones Veronica hung herself But it was fake So the only person who actually committed suicide was JD
I can't imagine how hard everything got for Martha. Like, the boy she was in love with fucking died. I know the play is played for laughs, but god dammit. Martha.
Nothing in this musical is done just for laughs. Everything has a double meaning (exaggeration but most scenes that aren't one off lines carry more meaning) and it's not the English teacher double meaning either.
Rachael Creed not to mention she thinks her best friend’s boyfriend did it (and he did) And her best friends is freaking covering up for him and actively bullying her.
I love this so much. I feel like it's a really sweet and real view from Martha's perspective. Often, other animators make Ram disgusted at times or confused with her affection towards him, but here, we see that he really liked her back then. It makes it even sadder when you think of how he treated her in high school, and how she still held on. He was one of the few kind people to her, no matter what (until he became older). My beautiful baby bean O^O
Its hinted at atleast two points that the kind kindergarden Ram is still there: In the first song, Beautiful: I think its ram that wonders why he acts like a jerk In the song 'Big fun': He shows he still cares for her by asking why she acts 'weird' and that if she stopped acting weird then people would like her. Although what he says could be dismissed as him being a drunken jerk, I don't believe so. To my ears, He seems to soften albeit slightly, when he speaks to Martha at this point.
Special reminder that Ram was dead when she dreamt of him. Everything she wanted to live for; Her friend, her crush: they all left her. That dream, to her, was Ram coming back to get her to go with him.
IN THE MUSICAL TOO THE AUDIENCE LAUGHS AT THE SONG AND MY HEART IS SO BROKEN WHEN I WATCH THE SCENE AND LISTEN TO THE SONG. MARTHA IS BABY AND IM SO GLAD SHE LIVES
@max 362 it's suggested that they've committed lots of sexual harassment and rape throughout the musical, plus they're just @$$holes, so it's kinda hard to like them lol
@@Caio0_057 most people think that Kurt and ram were actually singing about each other.l since (in most musicals) they are touching each other a lot and not as much Veronica
I got Martha in my heathers production, and I wasn’t really happy or proud about it. I just found this anamatic by coincidence and it’s made me sympathise with her,, im kind of happy to be her now haha. So thanks!!
tbh the musical writers really butchered her characterization and made her cringy when she's meant to be sympathetic as an outcast character (the movie did it better). im glad this helped you see past that flaw and like her ^^
I love how this really makes the viewer question what could have been if it weren’t for Ram being popular or JD killing him before he had a chance to redeem himself. Martha represents that hope and purity in people, she’s like the embodiment of a “good ending”
I really love this animatic but I am always disappointed when I see one of this song because I love the idea of Ram's ghost trying to stop her and no one has thought of that I guess I would do it myself but I just don't have the materials too. 😌😭❤
Audrey Pennington Yea I like the idea of her about to jump and then Little Ram's ghost hugs at her knees to stop her and she bends down hugs him. Kisses his cheek. And then plummets to what she hopes to be death
I want to do one where there's a style shift between Martha's fantasy and the reality. And at the bridge ram's ghost is a hallucination on her part, arm outstretched on the Pegasus, beckoning Martha to come with him. And there are tears in her eyes and she takes his hand. She smiles, tears in her eyes. And at the last cord, as she falls, still smiling sadly, the pastel colors used for the "fantasy" fade out to grey. Then black.
These are all such awesome ideas, ugh! If only one of us could actually make these. I mean, technically, any one of us could. But that would mean working and taking time to do things... lol
The thing I noticed was that when she said, "Croquet lawns", the only heather we really ever saw in full detail was Heather Chandler. Maybe it's because she's dead ??
Damn. Even though Martha got her happy ending in the end with Veronica and the two remaining Heathers, watching this really makes you wish Ram wasn't such a dick and that he hadn't died.
I didn't think of this until now, her all-time-crush just "commited" suicide, like, can you imagine being Martha? Forget that he was "Gay" she loved him, like, now i can see why she jump, and it's super sad TBH :(
The ironic thing is that Martha was the ONLY character who saw through the fake suicides because, despite being a naive sweetie, she's probably the only one who can tell what's fake/real when it comes to her peers' actions.
the second "then he woke up" is so sad. like in saying ram "woke up" about martha being considered undesirable by the rest of people and realizing he shouldn't be with her anymore. then she is left alone in her dream. oof.
i actually kinda ship martha and ram like he used to be like this why couldn't JD just beat them up and then give em some lessons on taking care of a girl
Yes, of course, because JD was obviously the true gentleman of the movie and musical. JD: Now you have to manipulate her in killing people while you psychologically abuse her and destroy her mental state. Got that?
Almost all of your videos are sad ones. And here I am, subscribed since the first one I watched. Well, it seems like I'm a bit masochist (good job btw)
There was a boy I met in Kindergarten He was sweet, he said that I was smart. He was good at sports, and people liked him, And at nap time, once we shared a mat. I didn't sleep, I sat and watched him breathing, Watched him dream for nearly half an hour, Ooooooooo Then he woke up. He pulled a scab of one time, playing kickball, Kissed me quick, then pressed it in my hand. I took that scab, and put it in a locket. All year long, I wore it near my heart. He didn't care, if I was thin or pretty. And he was mine, until we hit first grade, OooooOoo Then he woke up. Last night I dreamed a horse with wings, Flew down into my homeroom. On it's back, there he sat, And he held out, his arms, So we sailed, above the gym, Across the facility parking lot. My Kindergarten boyfriend, and I.. And a horse with wings. Now we're all grown up and, we know better, Now we recognize, the way things are. Certain boys, are just for Kindergarten, Certain girls are meant to be, alone. But I believe, that any dream worth having, Is a dream, that should not have to end So I'll build a dream that I can live in, And this time I'm never waking up.... And we'll soar, above the trees, Over cars, and crochet lawns, Past the church, and the lake, And the tri-county mall, We will fly, through the dawn, To a new Kindergarten....... Where naptime are centuries long.
I like how when Veronica gets a chance to get something from the Heathers, she "craves a boon". However, later in the same song, when Martha expresses her wish concerning the Heathers, she says "I'd like them to be nicer". She's such a sweet soul.
Kindergarten Boyfriend always reminds me that everybody (even me) has that one person that you crush on for a long time even when it fades you’ll still see that person and a small warm feeling will come to your chest because they were well ya know the one to you for a long time until of course we all grow up and become a little more realistic with our expectations of love.💕
When i realized she is literally my spirit musical character. Like i love her so freaking much. Like literally when i heard this song while watching the musical the first time i was like, "Wait, what. Martha no...nO, No, NOOOOOOOO" And it makes me happy someone did this song so well.
She’s pretty She’s good at singing She has good taste in movies She is kind She’s funny She’s loyal She has one of the best songs MARTHA MUST BE PROTECTED
What I really like in this version is Martha's expression when she says "and a horse with wings". She looks sad and that gives another interpretation of this passage: she looks sad because bc she knows that "horse with wings" doesn't exist, that this is absurd and this reminds her that this is only a dream. She, reunited with Ram seems as absurd as this horse in her mind. She knows that it's impossible. It makes this song even more heartbreaking
now we're all grown up and we know better, now we recognize the way things are, certain boys are just for kindergarten, certain girls are meant to be alone. Me: No, you're not alone, everyone here is. That's highschool for you.
She clung on so much on that tiny part of happiness in her life in order to keep her head up, but clung on so much and for so long that she couldn't see any other way for her to be happy than in a dream, in distant memories...
I'm five years late man, and holy crap does this hit deep. Martha is a great character, one of the only innocent one out of the musical to. She did nothing wrong but exist, I love this animatic.
i watched heathers for the first time yesterday and this part had tears pouring down my face it was unbelievably emotional i feel so much for martha. She didn't want to grow up and be like the other heartless kids she wanted to have that childlike love she had with ram and when he died she realized that her fantasies were over and she couldn't cope with that she wanted to die she wouldn't have to grow out of her childish behaviour and wake up to the cruel world which we live in she wanted to be young and pure forever not her appearance but in her heart she didn't want to let go of someone / something that had been apart of who she was for so long so she tried to end it all.
This is late but, Martha had a miserable life because of her interests and appearance. So far we only know two people in her life (Besides her parents, probably.) that saw past her outer exterior, and saw her for who she really is. Because of that she became very close and obsessive over them, and felt that she need them to be validated or that they were the only people who saw that she had any value and offered her comfort. After losing both of those things, I would assume that her depressive episodes and self loathing got worse. And I can only imagine, the one guy that used to treat her with some ounce of decency dying pushed her over the edge., and on top of that her being abandoned by her only friend. It's a lot deeper than her being upset over some guy who didn't like her back.
@@candicoated2001 Yeah you're right and I agree with you but I was mostly talking about the scab locket and watching you sleep thing in the past rather than the events in the future but I guess all that can be explained by the fact that all kids in general are super weird.
i know what happens after she falls off the bridge. she survives with a few broken ribs according to an article that i read that tells me what "The Heathers" is all about. and Martha is a victim of bullying anyways so this song makes sense.
this is beautiful! i'm kinda glad i was the 1000th like on this vid but this animatic definitely deserves a lot more views and likes. i love the style and the details like an actual animatic, like the notes about the bg moving and panning up
Yeah, they establish that in the musical. Martha insists to Veronica that Ram couldn't have killed himself for being gay because he kissed her on the kickball field, and Veronica replies with "that was Kindergarten!"
This is so well done! Wow, I'm honestly so speechless.This looks so well planned out, and I just love your style of drawing and animating. It's very creative and planned out so very well. Again, just wow! Lovely! Beautiful! I aspire to do something half as decent as this one day. I'm so motivated thanks to you! Thank you very much!
This song still hurts a bit. I remember how it feels to essentially be a Martha. Your friends abandon you, and not even a loving family can save you. It takes everything you have to stay alive.
I feel so bad for Martha. Her only friend abandoned her for the Heathers, the only boy she ever loved was killed, and she was completely alone. She got severely depressed with nobody to turn to. She built a fantasy world where everything was happy to distract herself from her suicidal thoughts for just a little while. Just long enough for her to forget that she was alone, and that nobody cared about her anymore. It just gets more depressing the longer you think about it.
Yeah, it's too bad that Veronica broke the illusion that Ram sent the invitation. Not only did it show her that Ram never returned her feelings and it broke her heart that her best friend did something cruel to her. I know it was a lie, but that kind of thing would have probably made Martha less jaded and depressed in the long run.
This is so beautiful! This song always breaks me because it's just so unfair? And sad? And this animatic. 👌I love the way you did her and Ram and the scene changes.
This happened to me, my best friend (male) asked me to marry him when we were old enough (we were in second grade at the time) and we started "dating" (if you can call chaperoned "dates" at McDonalds dating lol). Sadly we drifted apart. Now I know that what I felt back then wasn't actually love, it was probably just a strong friendship (and I confess, partially probably just enjoyed the attention) but still it stung when he rejected me for our first middle school dance and he took one of my friends instead. And I regret that nowadays we aren't as close as we used to be. I don't wanna date him, I just wish we could be close friends again like how it used to be before we both "grew up".
First time a Heathers song *really* made me burst out in tears. Not sure if it's the gorgeous song or the lovely animatic, but I'm guessing both :p thank you
