Tongues & Teeth | Unfinished Desert Duo Animatic

[@reesemcelreath3577]

I love how you changed the song from being a warning from one toxic person to a kind soul that they can’t be changed, to TWO toxic people making a promise to one another to never change.

[@NerveUnderscore]

This is the dynamic of two of my characters and I fucking love them. Finally found a song that portrays that thanks to this animatic

[@esmemurnane4341]

why is this so poetic..?

[@KarmaEledrich]

Why is this so true lol I love it

[@lovebirddraws8475]

Forget the “I can fix him” dynamic, both of them looked at the other and thought “I can make him worse” lmao

[@th1rt3n_tn49]

This is literally the "i couldn't fix him so i made him worse" and this applies to both of them

[@auiak7689]

[@night4138]

[@pineconesprickmypalms]

I think it’s because one of the lyrics are “ if you kiss my lips my teeth only cut you “

[@song1of1fire1]

This made me finally understand why people are so feral about desert duo. I hadn't realized this was not a tragedy, but a gleeful, vicious rush towards a shared end.

[@themightypancake5695]

Oh thank goodness, someone else gets it! Don't get me wrong, i love me some good angst, but my absolute favorite pieces of art from this fanbase are when desertduo is continuously agreeing to cause chaos together, and this animation showcases it perfectly!!

[@NickAndriadze]

You described it really well, I *really* didn't get the community's obsession with this specific pairing/alliance and how constantly it was referenced in future series' comments too, until I actually bothered to watch Third Life a second time and fall in love with its fan animations. This community is doing SO much work for the series, I'd say it is the backbone for its continuous engagement and refusal to die, which I absolutely love. Fan-run communities are the best!!. Especially when the fans are _as_ talented as in here.,.,

[@lexi-bankz]

Grian accidentally killing Scar with that creeper was probably the best decision he ever made tbh

[@hazelbee3]

Oh definitely

[@marziiepan]

on god

[@NickAndriadze]

100%. Honestly, I couldn't even emagine the REMOTEST COURSE 3rd Life and this community in general would have taken, I could go as far as to say that the series wouldn't have been NEARLY as popular as it would become. And *ESPECIALLY* considering just how miraculously good the original turned out to be, it's not a stretch to say it could've turned out much worse or, at least, not as spectacular a story as it shaped up to be and one that would go on to attract so many passionate fans... Such as _myself,_ even though I fell in love with it after watching Last Life, I initially really didn't bother much with Third Life after halfway cutting at episode 2, I thought it was gonna be a generic repeat of the Grian-Scar Hermitcraft dynamic, which I had *MORE* than enough of by that point... Huge mistake from my end that I binge watched Third Life years later.

[@hazelbee3]

@ I agree with pretty much everything here lol, but if you don’t mind me asking, why do you not like the hermitcraft grain-and-scar combo?

[@Clovipico]

This is just a relationship where both parties go “I can make him worse”

[@Clovipico]

[@0egopsida]

Okay but "let's have the ghosts count us in then" is the most METAL line I never caught until this video. Like taking last life out of the minecraft context, two partners win the viscious game of death they were thrown into, and now stand upon the ruins of the home they built together, the last two alive in their entire world. And they have the ghosts of the slain who gather around them chanting for death count down to their final battle. Like HOW WERE ANY OF US SUPPOSED TO BE NORMAL ABOUT THIS.

[@quirkrash2982]

This this is the um this?? ITS. ITS THE ITS THE THE WHOLE “I will only break your pretty things / I will only wring you dry of everything” being sung GLEEFULLY. There’s no regret there’s no remorse, they’ve accepted and embraced how destructive they are for both the server and each other AND I AM SO NORMAL ABT THAT.. THIS INTERPRETATION HAS ME IN SHAMBLES

[@cupids_aro7505]

it's amazing and i love it

[@nyxthefox2348]

It's like they've embraced themselves truly and wholeheartedly, and accept that at times they are utterly toxic when pretending to be something they're not- pretending that they're not destructive and a little violent. They accept that together they are both at their best and at their worst with each other. And they don't mind- because the highest highs together are worth the lows. "I will ruin you." Ruin their reputation with others, ruin them socially. But they're never ruined to the other, because they're both equals. Yang and Yin, perfect balance. And although perfect balance is often seen as a good thing, it's the centre of chaos, Pandemonium even. This is why I love the two of them as a team they're so good to watch and analyse!

Turning Tongues and Teeth from a tragic song about not wanting to hurt someone with your toxic traits to a Enemies/Lovers anthem is truly a feat worthy of praise

[@thatonegirl3391]

They sing the last part like twisted, toxic wedding vows, and I can’t think of a better analogy for their beautifully tragic relationship

[@wprosper]

1:11 rewatching this and the sheer amount of lives scar lost in this compared to grian makes me chuckle

[@stringybean_]

their expressions when Grian is pledging his loyalty at the beginning is GOLD. Grians expression is a mix of guilt and reluctance to serve scar and scars expression is just concern about what Grian’s doing because Scar held no genuine ill will towards grian for getting him killed. SO. GOOD.

[@MilettyAnimations]

I've probably watched this over 30 times and I only just now realized that Grian didn't wear a poncho at first, but started wearing one when he and Scar moved to the desert

[@caduceusdraws]

Even if unfinished i still got so so so hyped when they were singing "iiiiii will ruin you" and you show grian and then scar's perspective and and "i am not a vessel for your good intent" as Scar lights a match is SO GOOD and and and the dancing while their outfits change to represent each season !!!!! Amazing !!!!!!!!! It really encapsulates their chaos, mischief, and despite hurting each other they're still linked together

[@creaturefeature_]

god this is SO good. I love the song choice, always appreciate mutually toxic relationship desert duo. Also Grian as a little pixie is amazing I love that choice for him. Good way to keep the wings while putting a unique spin on him.

[@Chronically_Bored]

I love the fact in the thumbnail grian is holding a match and scar the dynamite. On their own, they can be quite harmless. Hell, the match is useful, even. But because theyre paired together they become nothing but destructive to each other and everyone around them. LONG TANGENT COMING IN The match, once lit, will burn out, and grian as the match who lights scar's tnt is so good because yeah he's helping scar but it will burn him out in the end. He'll flicker out and he'll do it quick. Scar as tnt is self explanatory, once tnt explodes it leaves destruction in its wake and it dies (dissapears, gets used) with it. Grian is helping scar, but the way hes doing it (lighting scar's tnt with his match) means in the end all it will do is kill scar and everything and everyone around them. Theyre mutually horrible for each other and simply the act of pairing up has caused them both mutually assured destruction, and theyre not just fine with that, theyre _happy_ with that. I adore that.

[@andrea1338]

Your description of they’re relationship was something’s didn’t know I needed because it’s spot on because they are both so hard headed and chaotic on they’re own but when paired you basically have started a doomsday clock or a ticking bomb ready to go gotta love them.

Not lovers, just friends that flirt every so often as purely a joke. And it's not just them. Mumbo literally asked if Grian, Martyn, Impulse and Jimmy wanted to kiss, all of whom have wives, and in the case of Impulse and Martyn, kids.

[@paranoidlizard6338]

@@runedoom i fully get that, i guess i was moreso looking at it from the characters Grian and Mumbo perspective and not the real life human people Grian and Mumbo perspective. I’m an adult and i’ve been in the minecraft community for a very long time, so i’m fully aware of the fact that content creator friends will flirt with their friends, and my intention was never to feed into the unhealthy side of fandom that starts using that flirting to assume with absolute certainty that two very real friends are in love.

Time to be REALLY NORMAL about this animation and point out all these small details I LOVE. 1:13 WOW Scar lost a lot of lives in Last Life and I love how you showed the ones he gave away 1:16 LOVE Mumbo's design and salesman Scar 1:55 I've said it before but I love the hesitancy and resignation on Scar's face agreeing to the contracts (or is it when they are all red and taking his stuff lol) 2:00 I can't explain it but the part of this song fits the mood of DL Desert Duo perfectly 2:06 THE JELLIES also Scar's face LMAO 2:10 "Uh Scar? I have a FEELING..." 2:13 perfectly captured the water bucket clutch heck yeah 2:16 Love the frames for the slight voice crack in the singing Love that Grian's version of "ruining" Scar was getting him killed in 3rd life and Scar's version of "ruining" Grian is thinking he'd be happier without him 3:07 this dance lives in my head rent free - THE FACT THAT THEY CHANGE OUTFITS MIDWAY THROUGH. It's like them embracing the bond they once had when they get down to their last life in Double Life and ugh its so good. 3:14 so tender sob also the little Grian dot eyes when he's picked up. Adorable. 3:20 MINE 3:25 Salute to the RelationShip buring 3:27 literally just 3 frames but it tells the whole story of the end of the Secret Soulmates so well. It's Grian and Scar back together as strong as ever, Grian overjoyed by the stalactite kill and Scar wide-eyed realizing Grian just killed BigB. Can you tell I'm a little obsessed with this animatic?

this comment has been itching at me for a while. okay, so despite it being unfinished for a year, i just KEEP coming BACK. 47 times in total, i counted. thanks youtube. it is just so so SO beautiful! desert duo are my absolute favourites and this animatic just seriously makes me love them even more. the emotion being conveyed in each frame, even if a face may be no where to be found is just extremely powerful and some frames even made me feel sick to my stomach. especially when grian smirks holding up the bundle of tnt, thats terrifying. the dance at the end is also outstanding, mostly because of how happy they seem. it has a little hint of somberness to it if you squint really hard. this animatic is ALSO the reason i am super obsessed with crane wives right now, tongues and teeth being my super duper favourite. after listening to metal and rock for years, indie folk has just awakened something inside of me. one thing that is also VERY intriguing is probably the scene of the pre-chorus, "and i know that you mean so well, but i am not a vessel for your good intent" fits them awfully well. scar's switch-up in emotion also had me all like "woooahh!!" because it was portrayed just so well!! this same technique is also used in the scene of the chorus, "i will only break your pretty things, i will only wring you dry of everything" where it is sung with joy?! how i saw this was that the two had accepted their destructive nature and come to peace with it. wow. not to mention, the use of grian's actual line in the intro was also very smart, genius might I say. you are just SO talented and amazing in ways i cannot describe. this animatic QUITE LITERALLY has me in a chokehold!!! i understand why you made the decision not to finish it as it looks quite complicated and even tiring. i've never done animation, so im not well versed but i can tell that it is not light work. especially with this amount of detail. long story short, holy crap i am in love with this animation and i need it injected in my brain so bad i could write an essay about it. lots of love and take care of yourself, cherri!!! i love your stuff but i also love the idea of you NOT being burnt-out and tired. remember to stay hydrated, eat properly and TAKE BREAKS!! love you, bye!! 💝💝 /p

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ANIMATION AND IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT!! you are so talented i loved every single second of it, even if not 100% done it still got the message through and OH MY GOD THEIR DANCE AT THE END

I have no clue how this animation is underrated?! This is so beautiful and very well done. Regardless of not being done, it's a masterpiece

i love rewatching this and catching little details i missed like how their hair grows longer through each season and how i can kind of cross reference which scenes are inspired by which events/interactions bc obv the fandom likes to spruce original clips up with drama and headcanons. i cant get enough of crane wives x desert duo
