Never Ever Getting Rid of Me: A Clone High Fan Animatic 

WE DID IT BOYS. EDIT: NEVERMIND. FUCK ME THEN.

I totally headcanon this being after they have sex at prom, and shes feeling shy and ashamed, but then he assures her he wasn’t using her and he actually really is super into her! And she’s like oh shit and learns what true love is

Jfk is thiccer than joan, nothing seems to be outta place.

Everybody: “Wow! This is so good!” Me: *”I’m glad you remembered to give JFK his dump truck.”* edit: damn this is 2 years old 💀

I hope they end up together in The remake. It would be a nice twist in the whole best “protagonist ignores nice girl for hot girl, but decides he loves her at the end when he learns his lesson”. I think it would be nice, since Abe is not very nice to Joan. Edit: Holy Molly. So many comments in one day.

Naming a cat “sardine” because it’s funny is the most JFK thing in the world. Change my mind.

Jfk learns the value of sensually and how to be emotionally honest rather than have it just be sex. He learns that Cleo took advantage of him for whatever she needed and he wants something that's real. He's trying to prove to Joan that he genuinely wants to pursue a relationship with her. He wants to learn how to love. Jone has been at Abe's side even before the show. She was the shoulder he cried on. She's taken care of Abe for so long to the point where she doesn't know what's her and what's performance for Abe. She finally found someone who she doesn't have to try for. She can just be Joan. She's scared that being with JFK means that she gave up on Abe. She's learning who she really wants to be and she has someone who supports her. She wants to learn who she is. And that's why Joan x JFK is such gold. It's literally so perfect

I’M SORRY BUT JFK JUST APPEARING OUTSIDE OF THE WINDOW AND STARING GETS ME EVERY TIME

What makes me adore this even more is how JFK glances back at Abe and Cleos table, and then faces Joan with a smile. Hes moved on. They've become better people who are smarter and I adore how just a few measly seconds can show this(whether or not its purposeful)

“Family History Test” hits different when sung by a Kennedy.

The one dislike is from Abe 🙄 cry about it

Everyone is talking about the bit where jfk looks back at cleo and abe but honestly the part where Genghis khan comes in opera singing was just *chef kiss* I watch this absolute masterpiece every day

YOU GAVE HIM THE MOST TENDER EXPRESSIONS IM CRYIMG

"I err uh, love you means yer uh.. Never ever getting rid of me"

Ok but like the way he looks back at Cleo when he says “I’m gonna do this right” like he’s not going to make the same mistakes with Joan LIKE THE SUTBLE DETAILS HERE THIS HAS SO MUCH EFFORT PUT INTO IT OMG!!!! 😭💕

JFK is the definition of "the guy that stole the show from the protagonist"

Holy shit Joanfk is canon now. It’s over bros. We won.

I absolutely support this ship, Abe lost the chance to confess his feelings for Joan because of being a freaking simp and one hell of a horrible main character and it took him 13 fricking episodes to realize that Joan had a crush on him

I actually think this art style is a great way to modernize the original's. Still keeps the spirit of the original without veering too far away from it.

After the leaked episode this is basically canon how are we feeling

I’d you had told me that I’d ship a Chad version of teenage JFK with a goth version of Joan of Arc a few months ago I would have never believed you. WTH why does this have so many likes-

She deserves a guy who actually cares about her

okay so comparing joan to the cat just taught me that jfk has worked out that the way to a woman's heart is food and im here for it.

The way this predicted their whole dynamic for season 2

Honestly, JFK liking Joan came out of nowhere at the end but I'm honestly so here for it

This masterpiece emanates effort

AS AN AVID JOANFK SHIPPER THIS IS BASICALLY MY EQUIVALENT TO SCIENTISTS DISCOVERING THE CURE FOR CANCER

This is so perfect, too since JFK canonically does pursue Joan a few times throughout the series and every time she rejects him, he tries a different strategy of getting her to date and have sex with him. This song fits so well!

Have you noticed that Abe is just such a terrible lead that it took just 1 positive interaction between Jo and JFK for the fandom to ship them? xddd

I'm so glad that this is one of first things I've watched in 2021

i love how they stuck to the cartoon style, JFKs packin badonkadonk and joans hairline

The dynamic we deserved but didn’t get.. sad day indeed 💔

This is the best Clone High related thing that isn't the actual series. Great job!!!

Okay but the fact that he just has a pic of his dads wherever he goes 🥺

I just finally realised that joan just kept jfk's dads pic in her apron pocket That's cute

These shippers, it’s already a ship consisting of possibly but also objectively the best Clone High Characters, and now adding this adorable yet surprisingly fitting Broadway style love song. IT’S TOO MUCH MAN!

A side of JFK we wanted but I can’t remember if we ever got it

I’m in love with the fact you decided to give Cleo the ‘what?’ Instead of Joan it fits so well

Favorite bits: -JFK just. Appearing outside like 8) -Baby JFK cuddling Sardine 🥺🥺🥺 -the hug at the end -JFK actually getting a bit flustered! I love the implication/idea that he’s actually a bit shy in the romance side of a relationship. It humanizes him a lot. -the end card -Joan smiling at him as he begins his story about Sardine the kitty. Like “Oh lord here he goes” but in a good natured way. -the movement at 1:40. It looks really good! -the fact that this made me fall hard and fast for JoanFK

Ignoring season 2, still love this ship and appreciate all the content you put into this. Thank you seriously, for bringing me some joy!

Joanfk is one of the best thing ever happened in Clone High. 💕✨💪

It’s the way he looks at Cleo sadly because he knows that relationship was toxic when he says “I’m gonna do this right” for Joan for me

this aged wonderfully 🫠

Fuck season 2, this is canon in my heart

I love the attention to detail to this like with JFK looking at Cleo when he said he was gonna do it right. Like it touches on the fact their relationship wasn't the best in such a cool way.Also, like the Sardine part was so much fun, and like aaa I could gush about this all day but I don't wanna like ramble too much sadl;kj But overall this is sm fun to watch!

1:16 The FLDSMDFR from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs lmao (in the background)

I just noticed that after JFK gave Joan the pic of his dads, she keeps it in the pocket of her apron for the rest of the song THAT'S CUTE

I love how this song represents so many things. Specifically Joans sense of self worth and identity. When Joan tried to impress Abe naturally it would always go south. When she tried to change herself is when he would notice. That made her so self conscious. And even JFK (who is a sleazy little slug) was impressed with Joan in her natural state. Never wanted her to change even if his main goal was to have sex with her. JFK noticed her beauty for itself and not her made up self. That's why I think this ship works so well. It's great and I have a blast watching this every time.

local man supports his girlfriend on her first day on the job, more news at ten 💕💕💕 edit: WHOA THIS GOT A LOT OF LIKES!

This is so good wtf?? I love how the “family history test” (instead of being weird and nerdy in the original musical) actually makes sense in the context of Clone High. Also I’m AMAZED that you turned his story about Sardine from a warning that this guy doesn’t take no for an answer, to the story of how JFK learned to be patient with people who’ve built up walls after being mistreated.

I absolutely love how he looks at Cloe and his expression seems to acknowledge that he knows that his relationship with her wasn’t done right. It’s a little detail that stole my heart. Great job!

This is disgustingly adorable how dare you make me ship Joan and JFK

Young JFK with the cat was so cute. And Genghis Khan coming in, was *chefs kiss*. The whole thing is amazing, plus is JoanFK, I live.

DUDE THIS IS SO FUXKING POGGERS YOU DREW JFK SO CUTE AND HIM AS A CHILD IS ADORABLE AND THE WAY JOAN REACTS IS PERFECT DJJFNS

I still can’t believe they’re canon now, but every time something new drops and their together as a couple my mind comes back to this animatic

I HAD TO COME BACK HERE AFTER THE LEAKS! WE WON

sigh, another man to add to my list of “Men-Who-Don’t-Exist-But-I-Would-Go-Straight-For-At-The-Drop-Of-A-Hat-If-They-Did”... The name is a work in progress.

Honestly I hope that Joan and JFK’s relationship is like this in the reboot 😌

How have I seen nobody point out how Genghis Kahn comes by singing the man-ish opera part at 2:05 just like he did in the Ponce episode. That is some exceptional attention to detail I hope you’re proud of yourself for that one.

No hate for the new Clone High just that this animatic raises my standard so much I was so disappointed that Joan and JFK love story didn't match this at all, still I'm glad they decided to bring it back

1:56 nice to see you still included JFK’s cake

I bet all the dislikes are from Abe and Cleo. >:((

Imagine your friend is attracted to you, is looking for a partner, and is desperate for anyone And with your eyes bawling you tell them “i want you” and they finish it with “as a best friend!” Joan deserves better

Me coming here after season 2 is out and crying knowing they eventually break up BUT THEY’RE SO CUTE FOR REAL FOR REAL ITS SO NOT FAIR

My friend sent me this video and its honestly SO cute?? I really appreciate the level of maturity JFK is trying to have, especially given how genuine he seemed towards Joan. Honestly this song is a VERY good way to express them. How would you feel if someone made a fanfic based on this video?

Why is no one talking about the backgrounds???? AND THE LIGHTING AND SHADING OML???!!! If you could help animate for the reboot, that would be a literally dream come true T-T

The few meaningful moments they got together in the show just make me wish this was the end goal. The prom scene showed JFK admires Joan as she is and fuck this was perfect for that

Gosh, now I need an animatic of Joan singing “when he sees me”

You NAILED! the expressions, when he looked at Cleo saying "I am going to do this right" I could feel the pain. This is sweet, I hope in canon JFK can be grown as a person in this way.

2:02 when you pause this scene just look a Joans face, she’s completely smitten with him, it’s such a cute little detail with her expression, she’s looks so happy, far more happy than what she was when perusing Abe, it’s so genuine and it makes my heart melt, it also makes JFK more of a fucking legend in my eyes 😎👌🏻💗💗 this animation is beautiful, thank you for giving us this stupendous treat 💕💕💕💕💕💕

S2 will never be canon to me they've ruined my comfort ship 😭

ITS THE WAY HE LOOKS BACK AT CLEO AND ABE WHEN HE SAYS THAT HE'S GONNA DO THINGS RIGHT FOR ME

THAT WAS SO FUCKING CUTE I CAUGHT MYSELF SMILING THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE THING OH MY GOD

ok. I'm crying. thanks for this. i repeat I'm crying.

GUYS I AM CRYING THEY WERE SUCH A GOOD DUO.

This is technically cannon now and I’m very happy about it 🎉

WAHHH THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! YOU PUT SO MUCH EFFORT INTO THIS AND IT SHOWS!!!

I absolutely love when that when he mentions perserverence the flashback showed him changing tactics to win over the cat instead of continuing to chase it

The only reason I don’t want clone high to come back is the idea that JFK won’t be with Joan and instead Abe will be.

THANK GOD THERE CANON NOW

the lighting? the small in between frames that give this a _bit_ of animation with a bounce to it? the subtle details? joan x jfk? 1:16 absolutely beautiful. no other words can describe how badly i love this

IM NOT THE ONLY ONE SCRAPING FOR SCRAPS OF THIS SHIP????? GOOD.

You did it bro, its canon in the leaked pilot

Gandhi is sitting by himself in the background at 1:01 The FLDSMDFR from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs also makes an appearance at 1:16

the bit with sardines the cat was actually so accurate to JFKs character i love it

That little moment where he looks back at Abe. THAT HURT and I felt this weird feeling for the rest of the video but I FELT it and that’s what important

THEY MADE JOAN FK A REALITY, then immediately ruined it

oooooh i love this!!

If Clone High comes back and JFKxJoan doesn't work out like this I feel like there will be riots 😭 we're all rooting for this!! I love this and them so much

That family history test actually makes sense in this context

The best relationship, a scandalous guy changes because he realizes what he wants, rather than who he thinks he should be. A girl who was so infatuated with a guy who never truly paid attention to her and just ran to some other girl finally focusing on someone who likes her for being herself, tis beautiful in a very comedic way

I’ve practically lobotomized myself with how delusional I am because if someone (or myself) ever tries to ask whatever the hell happened at the end of clone high or it’s reboot, I’m pointing to this video every time. Reality is nothing but a suggestion to me and the fact that I have watched this one video more times than I’ve ever seen s1 and s2 COMBINED has to mean something about what’s real and what isn’t. Seriously been rewatching this for 2 whole years now and come back every time I need to remember what happiness feels like or inflict goosebumps upon myself ❤

Gd immaculate 😩👌👌

1) I second the motion that this is the best Clone High related thing aside from the actual series. (Oh my GOD!!) 2) Please please PLEASE I hope that the creators keep these two around as a canon relationship throughout the series!! I know the show is set around Abe and Joan getting together, but they don't have nearly as much chemistry as Joan and JFK. And it would be **so** nice if we could just depart from that "predestined couple" trope that has already been done to death.

Oof, my heart. JFK's sincere admiration for Joan had always made me go from feeling neutral at him to "aaw".

1:18-1:20 that seems incredibly in character for JFK, both naming a cat that, and explaining the joke.

Has anyone noticed that Abe usually starts to have a crush on girls who are already in a relationship?

I've already commented once this beautiful piece of art, but I wanted to underline one that for me and my bf (who had seen your wips post on Twitter as well) is one of its best details: we both passionately ship Joanfk, but we also really appreciated the quick looks that Abe and Joan give to each other around 0.54. It's a very realistic, even a bit painful touch. Sometimes the notion of 'moving on' becomes a little too idealistic: broken hearts don't heal so quickly, even if the person ready to love you and appreciate you for who you are is right in front of you that doesn't mean you're immediately gonna forget everything about your previous feelings for someone else. But that doesn't even mean you won't be able to take your new chance, like Joan does in the end of this animatic. Being the one who sings the song, JFK has a lot of spotlight in this video (and how couldn't we be happy about that, we adore him!), the transition from his younger version to the current one is one of my absolute favorite moments... but I'm also very impressed by how you drew every Joan's expressions, how you represented every fragment of the conflictual and intense feelings one can have in this kind of situation. I relate to it a lot and I wanted to give you extra kudos for that. ❤️

JFK and Joan are such a perfect match. Their chemistry during the show made me so happy and I want to see more of them.

Anyone came back after their breakup....
