[@saltenzy449]

I love that he's getting progressively more Ren as it all goes on

[@EmalineSmith-gy1xd]

What do you mean that’s definitely only Tango and just Tango and definitely not Ren I don’t know what you are talking about 🧐

[@MercuryCat]

Tango has always looked like that, what do you mean?

[@Furina5OO]

They're having hallucinations guys, we shouldn't judge

[@abiestar261]

Lmao who's ren

[@EmalineSmith-gy1xd]

RIGHT 😂

[@claudiacat4249]

I love the parrallel of Ren constanly putting "ifficacate" and "skadoodler" to sound like Tango and the song saying Business just to sound like a Business Man.

[@kavlan453]

Not only is Martyn as the sniper perfect because of the ex-hand stuff, but also because at 2:26 he gets to drop lore, it's absolutely great I love it

“When i sung *curses* by *the crane wiv-* me: *IMMEDIATELY SCREAMING*

[@marychristyshackelford5595]

Welcome to the life series fandom, where we worship the crane wives.

[@lumini3172]

⁠@@marychristyshackelford5595 That’s true and it’s amazing but my question is: Is it one of those things where the association Just Happens™ or is there a particular reason why The Crane Wives are so big in the Life Series fandom?

[@marychristyshackelford5595]

@@lumini3172 I don't think there's a real reason, i think people just made a lot of life series animatics with their music and the association stuck.

[@canaryy15]

i have been in the fandom since last life and i sTill scream over it LMAO

[@MoonlitBookworm73]

@@lumini3172 I think their music just fits the life series so well and many popular animatics use their songs, so the association kinds just manifested

[@Elkiiiii]

the I don’t know you being between Martyn and REN is perfect!! I hope Martyn reacts to this!!

if it’s copyright then we probably won’t know but I like to imagine it

2:11, That bow release has so much sass in it 💀

[@admonitio_]

I LOVE THIS. TOM CARDY/SECRET LIFE BEST COMBO. and the amount of hours it took....SO GREAT

[@ginniegill1026]

I've never heard this song before but the singer even reminds me of Ren in the way he flourishes some words 😭 it really does sounds like him

[@BOPgamez09]

Especially the way he said “I’m not a cop” At the end

[@marychristyshackelford5595]

"This is Beautiful" * looks up * " *I've been watching it for 5 hours now* "

[@gillipop1]

mood tbh

[@not-a-mongoose]

sjfajsldjfkas i love how he starts off looking like tango but then turns into ren by the end :D ... this _totally_ isn't my 10th time watching this animatic...

[@limazy]

I discovered Captions and it made this animatic EVEN BETTER SOMEHOW

[@ZephyrliteDraws]

Hidden gem omg

[@KoskotOwl]

Dude. PERFECT SONG CHOICE

[@L-ghtlessSky]

“And you said that you were killed by the axe of your Hand” actually worked so well

[@SilonaLurks]

I've rewatched this several times and it's just as funny and entertaining as my first time watching. This is so clever and funny, and your art is absolutely amazing. The expressions are so on point, and I love how Tango is slowly morphing into Ren the whole time instead of being a mix of the two from the beginning, that's such a fun touch. And I also really liked the parts where you put text in, especially "getting shot in the leg by his ex-hand" LMAO Chef's kiss! Glad you liked working on it, because it really shows!! :D

[@sunnytabby]

SOMEBODY PLLEASE SEND THIS TO MARTYN,IM LITERALLY BEGGING😭

[@MezephelesArt]

I can't stop laughing omfg Had to pause at "when I sung Curses by Crane Wives, yeah, that's a Life Series song!" lest I asphyxiate on my own laughter

[@shototodoroki693]

this is the best thing i have ever seen

[@chameleonwatermelon]

I love this so much 😂😂😂 Also I was wondering is 2:20 a reference to when Grian had to tell Gem she said sorry weird with the whole Jimmy guardian angel thing?

[@Jorb.]

I rewatch just for the little rens at 0:48

[@Narratorhavoc]

THIS IS MY GENUINE FAVORITE SECRET LIFE ANIMATIC THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT THIS I DONT LOVE, AMAZING WORK!!!

[@2-much-4-me]

I'm going to take a wild guess (and PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong) but at 0:59 is that a scar on Rengo's neck and is it a reference to third life? (Red winter is coming, Martyn "beheading" Ren, etc.)

[@2-much-4-me]

I'm really doubting myself-

[@taiistired]

yes it is !! i'm so happy someone caught it lmao

[@2-much-4-me]

@@taiistired I am extremely happy now also, keep up the great work :D

[@PeregrineDee]

What a responsible redstone man.

[@Lemon_TheThird]

I’m gonna watch this when I get out of the restaurant I’m in

[@anextremelyattractivepieceofgr]

It sounds so much like ren at the beginning lmao- Also tangos face at the end just kills me every time.

[@aldrinmilespartosa1578]

Yep, he's a cop.

[@Ratter_Patter]

2:32 I’ve watched this so many times that I’ve lost count, but I still love how despite Grian being the one who said his name was dumb, it was Jimmy who got shot 😂😂 (I could be wrong, but that’s what it looks like at least)

[@carimeslockdownedtree2654]

This is so fucking funny This video tickles me so much oh my goodness

[@ebon6635]

1:06 is that a refrence to the last life animation

[@freya7610]

lmaooo

[@vazak11]

XD

[@requiem165]

lol

[@giovannizaniricci817]

1:08 why in every animation does Brian have little wings on his ears?

[@whateverthewheel6623]

So basically there’s whole lore thing that i myself don’t know much about, but basically Grian is a ‘watcher’, or at least was one. The wings are basically a sign of him being a watcher I think. Also jimmys wing ears are I believe because of the canary curse which relates him to the bird canary

[@soul_whatsoul]

Actually, they're supposed to be parrot or scarlet macaw wings. They originated from a bit in Hermitcraft Season 7 where he killed every bird he came across and said "Pesky bird!" as he did so. After a while, it just became fanon (not technically canon, but universally agreed throughout the fandom) that he had wings and/or headwings. Usually he's drawn with scarlet macaw wings, however sometimes people do draw him with white wings, purple wings (in reference to Watcher lore and Evolution SMP), or hawk/falcon/generally brownish wings. Jimmy has wings or headwings (typically just the headwings) in reference to the Canary Curse, the fanon curse/the name of the of how he was always the very first permadeath for the first four seasons of the Life Series. Canaries were fragile, delicate birds that were brought down into mines, famously coal mines, and were used to detect noxious gases to protect the miners (due to the fact that the birds died easily due to the poisonous gases and the miners knew when to leave). It has some more fanon lore involving the Crane Wives song "Canary in a Coal Mine" (Crane Wives is literally the fandom favorite music artist lmao). One last thing, though- Who is this "Brian" character? (I'm so sorry I had to)
