Hey y'all! Thank you all so much for the influx of love and kind words over the past couple days, all of us artists appreciate it so so much! Just letting you know the D20 Zine Jam 2024 charity bundle has gone live; it's a pay-what-you-want bundle with 68 fanzines contributed to by 200+ fans, and all proceeds go to the UN's occupied Palestinian Territory Humanitarian Fund. If you enjoyed this video and want to support us, we ask you to donate what you can here! itch.io/b/2598/dimension-20-zinejam-2024-charity-bundle ❤Thank you all!
oh my GOD, Mary Anne being the one to actually do the deed killing Lucy, and then once the Ratgrinders are released and Lucy's finally revived it's HER being the one to immediately go hug Lucy first..... I was GUTTED.
It doesnt get emphasized in the show bc its from the Bad Kids perspective, but the Rat Grinders were straight up living a teen horror movie. The song does so well in bringing out that tragedy. They weren't doing as well as their classmates... caught a "lucky" break in that a teacher would mentor them... they were naively led to dark rituals... their best friend gets murdered and they cover it up... one by one they get anger zombified by that adult they trusted
@@cottoncandyhdy A "High Five Heroes" sidequest in the style of The Seven would be SO GOOD. I think I'd like to see a sequel just because I don't feel that their story is over (Copperlilly Caterpillar is still dead, I could see the party wanting to revive her) It wouldn't surprise me if Buddy Dawn's reappearance at the end of Junior Year is handled like the Night Yorb, where it's not actually the main focus of Senior Year, so using him as a story hook for a Rat Grinders sidequest would work pretty well, I feel
FH:JY is the only D20 season that, at least I felt, had suffered from its 20 episode format. We needed more time to sit with the web of mysteries that Brennan spun for the intrepid heroes, and we definitely needed more time with the Rat Grinders! There were just so many fun things left to explore and comment on: Kipperlily’s anger issues and entitlement, which could’ve been curbed/managed had she not come under Porter’s tutelage; Jace & Porter and the Rat Grinders interacting more; exploration of the High-Five heroes’ fractured dynamics, even as far as freshman year; how involved/willing/tempted each of RG’s was by Porter’s promise of power. Even just how the RG’s were failed by the adults around them (which I thought Brennan was trying to point out by introducing Henry Hopclap? But I think it was shelved in lieu of more important things) In the end, Dimension20 is a comedy show, so it’s fine that the RG’s turned into moustache-twirling losers in the finale. It was fun!! Cathartic! But I would’ve loved seeing what would additional 5-8 episodes do to the story☺️
Finally, someone else who acknowledges that despite it all, the Ratgrinders were kids who didn't deserve this. Even Kipperlilly. She had problems, obviously, but she was a high schooler. Name a high schooler without problems and I'll show you an incredible liar. The fact that they brought everyone but her back still bothers me, though I don't judge them for not doing it. Brennan did a helluva job making us and them hate her.
i feel even though ultimately she is just a kid who did not deserve what happened, she was irredeemable. even with the rage diamond removed she would have tried to kill the bad kids at all costs
@@mokithepepe2454I wouldn’t go so far as to call any kid irredeemable, or any person for that matter. I’m sure that she could have eventually grown into an at least mostly well-adjusted person, maybe being shown mercy by the bad kids could have even been a part of that, even if she never ended up liking them or it took a few decades and some therapy to sink in. Still, her actions were undeniably monstrous, and I get why they didn’t bring her back, and it does make for a satisfying moment if you don’t think about it too hard. My line on redemption is that not everyone deserves a second chance, but anyone can become someone who retroactively deserves to have been redeemed, though nobody ‘deserves’ forgiveness. I think it’s generally better to err on the side of rehabilitation, at least on a systemic level (not saying you should necessarily reconnect with abusive parents or anything) with these sorts of situations though.
We got one more year to save so many souls that were fucked by this school. Aguefort's school is not a good place too go. To be fair most systems in this universe are fucked up but the juxtaposition of a (semi)modern American small town and the cutthroat environment that usually creates adventurer guilds is striking The system of adventures is needed in this world but there HAS too be a better way then, this!
I think a big reason the Rat Grinders have captured the interest of the community is because a part of their story is about feeling unimportant in world full of amazing people, which I can't help but empathize with as just some guy watching all the incredible people on Dimension20 and Dropout.
Also the idea that even if the play by the rules you are still out stripped by those who are richer,naturally more talented,and some times just LUCKIER ((from an outside perspective)) is so frustrating and feels unfair
I always wonder, sometimes beg, for anything to have gotten to Kipperlily before Porter. I know that rage. It is all consuming. It can be helped. It can also, very obviously, be abused. I wish we got to know the Kipperlily who stuck with Jawbone, or who he recommended to a therapist he thought could help her more effectively. I know the story is from a specific perspective. But im so glad theres many of us with love for the kids who got hurt so despicably in so many ways, and that theres no love lost for the young girl who was so angry she made easy prey for an egotistical wanna be god.
Kipperlily “do what it takes to survive” (3:27) with all the choices she made or was manipulated into that led her to the events of the finale… gorgeous omg imagine being filled with rage AND actively haunted
Incredibel. Just incredibel. I've never wanted a Seven style season about the Rat Grinders going on a quest of redemption for themselves and Kipperlily until now!
i could talk about the nuances of the ratgrinders and their story that i feel a lot of people simply refuse to see and this video captures those PERFECTLY
OKAY OKAY one more thing- Kipperlily walking away from Lucy at 1:37 paralleled by her then trying to run Back TOWARDS Lucy at 4:15, but being unable to catch back up with her from how far she'd strayed. I can't believe the detail you've all put into this animatic, this has had me going CRAZY for like Days now. good LORD.........
ohhh my god. THE RAT KING SYMBOLISM!!! GENIUS. THE COLORS??? INSPIRED. kipperlilly alone in the dark at the end may or may not have made me tear up a little. love the song it's so evocative.
i cant stop watching this. the rage and twilight stars around kipperlily and lucy around 1:49 make me need to eat glass. this animatic has a million views to me im sending everyone who worked on this flowers
MARY ANN GRIPPING ONTO LUCY SO HARD AND HUGGING HER FIRST IMMGJKFDHSUGJKFDSFYUDSHJBFHDASJKFDNSJAKLFNDSA my jaw was on the floor the whole time i was watching this im so excited to rewatch to catch the smaller details this was so good !!!!! AAAAAHJAFSGHJKGSADBF porter and jace's artttyutjgyehjskgfuhjdks and the silhouttes of the bad kids and rat grinders i love this so much thank all of yall for this
oh the tragedy that these kids are… i love this so much i cannot stress it enough i need to ramble on this comment section of my fave scenes / little details i keep going back to 0:16 MY CHEMICAL GNOMANCE… SO FITTING HELLO 2:18 SHE WAS KILLING BEFORE KILLING WAS COOL ! 3:07 ruben being chucked into hell…. 3:12 buddy banished to god knows where 3:17 oisin’s struggle and gruesome death 3:21 IVY’S BRUTAL DEATH. her dead face haunts me… (and how her death was so inconsequential to the bad kids she’s literally no more than blood under the soles of their shoes. Pain) 3:26 MARY ANN BEING PUSHED INTO THE LAVA. the wheel is bigger than her body. god that just Hurts 3:34 kipperlilly taking the knife from Lucy’s body oh thats Foul. THATS SICKENING 3:40 kipperlilly’s death… Fuck. 4:09 EVERYONE ELSE GETTING ANOTHER CHANCE 4:14 but not kipperlilly oh my god her face in this haunts me honestly i could go on. this is just so good. i applaud everyone who worked on this, thank u for giving us this gift. may ur crops prosper
@@felixreyes6751he was very much NOT indifferent. He was driven by anger from Ivy being unnecessarily mean and cruel to Mazey. That's why Fabian specifically went after her.
"AND I WILL DROWN IN THE FEAR" I AM ... GOING TO SOB. Gang this is just sooo freaking incredible what an amazing project with so many amazing artists!! It's so moving! And so epic! Really felt it in my heart!
I had to come back and comment how amazing this animatic is. I was nearly in tears while listening to Kill All Your Friends during my drive home thinking about the Rat Grinders. Brain altering, beautiful animatic. Connects the song and the characters so well!!!!
THIS IS SO CRAZYYYY UUUOOGHHHH kipperlilly pulling the knife from lucy at 3:33 GAGGEDD me. There's so many little great moments but I'll have to watch this again and again to properly appreciate them, ough!!!! The usage of colors (which, to my chronically online brain, reminds me of flipnote animation) makes everything so raw and explosive. Also the transition from artist to artist? mwah, *perfectly* cannot capture how well this was put together. each and every parts have so much to look at, just big BIG kudos to all of the artists!!
genuinely such a perfect song choice because the beats really allowed everyone participating to have such important parts in the mv!!! like no one felt overshadowed or like they were just filler for the real kickass parts. incredible stuff fr, im going to be rewatching this for a long time! very curious to know if the screen tones were added by each artist to really unify everyone’s art styles or if that was done by someone else after the fact. really great choices made all the way around guys❤❤❤
ahhh thank you so much for your kind words!!! the screen-tones were individually added; we knew we wanted a punk/grunge style for the animatic so we shared around our favourite half-tone brushes and scripted a colourboard early on to make things cohesive even through everyone's different art styles! :)
It’s so cool to see the story from their perspective, because it really hammers home the tragedy of their story and the impressive animation from all the hardworking animators just enhances that by 10x
Oh my god??? This is SO amazing. Not to mention the use of an mcr song that fits *so* well and the way it mirrors my chemical gnomeance? Might be the best fantasy high animatic I've seen
GOD this is gorgeous. Who knew when Brennan introduced sitcom-esq foils to the BadKids that it'd lead to me (and many others) crying over this beautiful, heartbreaking animatic. Everyone who worked on this did an incredible fucking job!!!!!!!!!
Genuinely I’ve watched this video like 3 times just back to back and each time I find something new that has me GAGGED🗣️🗣️ Each and every artist who worked on this did a phenomenal job and I’m literally going to watch it again 💀
god this is fucking incredible every panel is so evocative and like the framing of each of the rat crushers’ deaths??? absolutely stunning oh my god kipperlily and ruben’s deaths especially are gorgeously done and!! agh i’m gonna lose it every frame of this is incredible
I love this so much! I just finished Junior Year 2 days ago! (Bought dropout a month ago and been binging so much) I love me some humanizing and giving attention to the side characters and this is what I'm talking about. Ratgrinders angst and Kipperlilly being the biggest tragedy of all is just a dagger to the heart.
The Rat Grinders death montage had me replaying the section over and over again. This has to be the most smoothly edited animatic collab I've ever seen--9 times out of 10 I didn't notice when the art style changed, and when I did it still felt like the most natural thing in the world. Everyone involved absolutely killed it!
I know BLeeM's said Kipperlilly only had a tattoo because she was willing, but I truly think she was still manipulated into saying yes. You know how easy to get into the head of a teen with petty anger issues? You just need the charisma of half a paladin
this is art omgggg I love this. It always surprises me how creative the fandom is and how much they develop the perspectives we didn't really get to see in the actual episodes. I love seeing the way people would have carried out the story of the ratgrinders and just reveling in the angst of it all.
1. this is so fucking amazing and captures the rat grinders so perfectly, 2. it looks like the flowers u chose to surround lucy/her casket were blue hydrangeas? which I Love if it was on purpose, doubly so if it was not. they symbolize a lot of things but specifically rejection, forgiveness, perseverance, sincerity, and patience; all elements that are deeply tied in lucys character and story!!!
So excited for this!!! The Rat Grinders have a very special place in my heart, and this looks like it’s going to be absolutely stunning EDIT: POST ANIMATIC THIS SHIT WAS FUCKING FIRE‼️‼️‼️ oof the ending hit me in the heart esp with Kipperlilly’s ending pose
I still keep coming back to this, and I'm awestruck and mesmerized just like I was day 1 watching it. God I wish they got to know the Rat Grinders more I understand that it's their game at the end of the day but the whole mess of implications that followed after Porter's reveal would've been cool af
Oh my goddd I am so emotional because 1. Everyone who worked on this is so talented and it’s so cool to see people working together to create something like this and 2. The ratgrinders finally getting the attention they deserved. Kipperlilly’s ending made me cry! Amazing work ❤
I'm obsesseddddd with everything about this it's everything I've ever wanted! The color pallette? Chef's kiss. The art styles that are all so different but look amazingly cohesive and tell the tragedy and horror of it all?? The way kipperlilly is consumed in the ghost of her rage that didn't even leave her in death??? The way she's the only rat grinder to not come back???? As fsjy went on I grew to LOVE the rat grinders so much (they're my horrible traumatized children) and this feels like a gift. I'm so happy that everyone who worked on this project were able to make something so gorgeous together ❤️
genuinely an amazing animatic, i love this to bits and y'all did such an amazing job!! the rat grinders have such a fascinating arc and have come to be some of my favourites of d20 so far and y'all have captured in such vivid detail the innately tragic nature of their arc over junior year. There are so many things to point out and adore about each individual part of this, the expressions, the colour palette y'all chose, the individual animation styles, it all comes together as a truly breathtaking animation and I hope y'all know that you truly made something remarkable!!
This is so beautiful (and heartbreaking!). The way the different art styles are so seamlessly put together, and it even reflects the art style in fhjy. I loved all of the scenes of the final battle, each rat grinder death was so beautifully illustrated. Gosh the ending is so haunting!! There are so many little moments that I enjoyed. (I watched it twice and then once more at 0.75 speed so I could catch everything!) Kudos to every artist for making such an amazing project!
Not a clue who these characters are since I’m not into D20: FHJY but one of my mutuals was involved in this, it’s incredible what all of you managed to create in a month!! The communication must have been very thorough with how cohesive everything feels with each person’s individual art styles shining through, and wow the flow of this is amazing!
Oh my god this is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Every artist involved absolutely slayed. I haven’t been able to subscribe to D20 in a while so I don’t even know the full plot beyond the different compilation of funny moments people have been posting on TH-cam, but even while not knowing I can just feel the raw emotion coming through each frame.
this goes so fucking hard! i loved the textures and the colours and the tragedy. i’m so in love. amazing work from all! i’m gonna go watch it again (x5)
THIS IS SO SO GOOD, I've been following updates on twitter lurking and seeing it in it's entirety is so amazing, all the art is fantastic and the editing so so good... I haven't watched fhjy but this is making me a tbk hater 🔥🔥

The Bad Kids also killed a lot O'sean's family. In self defense but still.
Genuine horror movie, yeah
making me think what if there was a ‘calamity’ style prequel where a new squad played rat grinders their frosh year knowing their futures
@@cottoncandyhdy Or maybe like the Seven
@@cottoncandyhdy A "High Five Heroes" sidequest in the style of The Seven would be SO GOOD. I think I'd like to see a sequel just because I don't feel that their story is over (Copperlilly Caterpillar is still dead, I could see the party wanting to revive her)

Sick to my stomach the way Lucy looks back and WANTS KIPPERLILLY TO COME WITH THEM SHDBFKDNKDNFN

Incredibel. Just incredibel. I've never wanted a Seven style season about the Rat Grinders going on a quest of redemption for themselves and Kipperlily until now!
thats such a good idea oh my god id love that

1. this is so fucking amazing and captures the rat grinders so perfectly, 2. it looks like the flowers u chose to surround lucy/her casket were blue hydrangeas? which I Love if it was on purpose, doubly so if it was not. they symbolize a lot of things but specifically rejection, forgiveness, perseverance, sincerity, and patience; all elements that are deeply tied in lucys character and story!!!
thank you so so much! the blue hydrangea symbolism was indeed intentional, that was lam's (@pluveeus) idea!!
So excited for this!!! The Rat Grinders have a very special place in my heart, and this looks like it’s going to be absolutely stunning
EDIT: POST ANIMATIC THIS SHIT WAS FUCKING FIRE‼️‼️‼️ oof the ending hit me in the heart esp with Kipperlilly’s ending pose
I still keep coming back to this, and I'm awestruck and mesmerized just like I was day 1 watching it. God I wish they got to know the Rat Grinders more I understand that it's their game at the end of the day but the whole mess of implications that followed after Porter's reveal would've been cool af
Oh my goddd I am so emotional because 1. Everyone who worked on this is so talented and it’s so cool to see people working together to create something like this and 2. The ratgrinders finally getting the attention they deserved. Kipperlilly’s ending made me cry! Amazing work ❤
I'm obsesseddddd with everything about this it's everything I've ever wanted! The color pallette? Chef's kiss. The art styles that are all so different but look amazingly cohesive and tell the tragedy and horror of it all?? The way kipperlilly is consumed in the ghost of her rage that didn't even leave her in death??? The way she's the only rat grinder to not come back???? As fsjy went on I grew to LOVE the rat grinders so much (they're my horrible traumatized children) and this feels like a gift. I'm so happy that everyone who worked on this project were able to make something so gorgeous together ❤️
genuinely an amazing animatic, i love this to bits and y'all did such an amazing job!! the rat grinders have such a fascinating arc and have come to be some of my favourites of d20 so far and y'all have captured in such vivid detail the innately tragic nature of their arc over junior year. There are so many things to point out and adore about each individual part of this, the expressions, the colour palette y'all chose, the individual animation styles, it all comes together as a truly breathtaking animation and I hope y'all know that you truly made something remarkable!!
throwing up so bad this is the thing ever i love you fantasy high fandom
THIS WAS FANTASTIC EVERYONE DID AMAZING
THIS WAS SICKKK !! absolutely stunning, everybody knocked it out of the park and gave the characters the love they deserved
This is so beautiful (and heartbreaking!). The way the different art styles are so seamlessly put together, and it even reflects the art style in fhjy. I loved all of the scenes of the final battle, each rat grinder death was so beautifully illustrated. Gosh the ending is so haunting!! There are so many little moments that I enjoyed. (I watched it twice and then once more at 0.75 speed so I could catch everything!) Kudos to every artist for making such an amazing project!
This is so good. One of, if not the best animatic I have ever seen. This needs to go viral.
Not a clue who these characters are since I’m not into D20: FHJY but one of my mutuals was involved in this, it’s incredible what all of you managed to create in a month!!
The communication must have been very thorough with how cohesive everything feels with each person’s individual art styles shining through, and wow the flow of this is amazing!
the way this made me sob.
ITS PEAAAAAAK
Man, the Bad Kids are scary
Oh my god this is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Every artist involved absolutely slayed. I haven’t been able to subscribe to D20 in a while so I don’t even know the full plot beyond the different compilation of funny moments people have been posting on TH-cam, but even while not knowing I can just feel the raw emotion coming through each frame.
haven't even seen fhjy but this bites this rules this fucks hype as hell excellent work all
I'M GOING RABID THIS IS SO GOOD!!! I NEED TO WATCH IT LIKE 50 TIMES, EVERY FRAME IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND IMPACTFUL!!!! EVERYONE DID SO WONDERFULLY!!!!
