Evelyn Evelyn | Double Life SMP Desert Duo Animatic

[@FantasticalRain]

The reason I put Grian as the one who’s wants Scar to stay and “be with here with him” was not out of love, but because the whole reason he forced Scar to live with him was to watch him, keep Scar safe so he could keep *himself* safe and then go after BigB. I see it as him literally putting Scar in a box so he could do what he wants without worrying, because we all know Scar is a death risk (even though he could probably out last him.). Maybe my version of his Double Life character is a bit selfish, but he’s cheater lol!

[@darkdragoness5]

That's really deep

[@darkdragoness5]

Also, I feel that Grian is also trapped. Grian wants to be free to be his chaotic self, but he can't because Scar is even more chaotic and he has to be the responsible one. When Scar decides to do something, Grian has to deal with the consequences as his soul mate. The chain that links them keeps them from being free.

They're watching anyway... That line was perfect, it was like they could see *through* Grian and started the conflict for fun. I love watcher lore lol 👁️ 💜

[@biscutsoreggs]

WHERE DO YALL FIND THE WATCHER LORE??? I WANNA BE APART OF IT SO BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!

[@MissWildcat3.14]

@@biscutsoreggs look at Martin's pov in the life series and the original lore is in the evo series when grian defeats the ender dragon. Except instead of the usual minecraft stuff it says, it's the watchers talking about grian. Grian is a watcher.

[@TheJadedDragonArts]

​@@MissWildcat3.14 Yeah but its still unconfirmed as to whether Grian is still watcher or part-watcher in the life series. And it's also confirmed (*cries*) by Grian himself that this does not apply in Hermitcraft. Alright I have a lot to say so YAYYY LORE LOGIC DUMP TIME! Grian stated in an interview with the podcast "The Spawn Chunks" that the "Watchers" in Evo were meant to represent the people watching Evo. When grian joined them, it was because he was leaving. He was going to be viewing Evo instead of playing, so he counted as a watcher. However, in the life series, he's a player, and doesn't watch his own series or anyone else's I believe, so I am unsure whether watcher-ism is a permanent effect hat either goes dormant or fades when playing, or whether it only applies outside Lastly, Martyn, who was both a part of Evo and a part of the life series mentioned once that the spectators in these series were "Temporary watchers" which means that watching the series directly while technically being part of it still results in mild watcher-ism. This could mean that Grian, being the farmer Admin of Evo and holding a lot of power could potentially retain a fraction of said watcher-ism when playing. I have done a LOT of research into this lol. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

[@MissWildcat3.14]

@@TheJadedDragonArts I have enjoyed listening to your Ted talk

[@TheJadedDragonArts]

@@MissWildcat3.14 Why thank you.

[@edenbetterforrester]

I love the fact that the song says “everything just come together at last” because it fits well with them since on all the servers their on they’re always very close and alway together but now they are literally bound to each other

[@tinypeterrabbit]

Oh gosh the lyrics "looking in your eyes, I'm coming home" are so often in animatics shown with a fond, loving or even sad look, but the blank/scared expression of Grian put shivers down my spine. This isn't a happy couple! They haven't been from the start. They pull and shove and take from one another, especially Grian. This animatic shows that so well!! Bravo!!

[@mimmit]

Oh my gosh this is so fantastic, literally couldn't sit still during this. I want to put this in my mouth. I adore the use of color whenever it appears in your animatics, hits so hard oh my gosh oh my gosh always looking forward to new stuff from you!!! Keep it up :DDD

[@consume_arsenic]

"I want to put this in my mouth" is the perfect way to say it

[@ElsieBradshaw-gh8zb]

0:39 the duality in the line “we grew up closer that most” where scars is happy and Grians is sad described their lore (the characters not the people) really well. Scar has the food memories of third life and is chasing that, while grian only sees the horror of having to kill his only teammate and is trying to distance himself from it

[@nooneatall719]

"You're always scared of me" (2:56) No wonder, saying how close scar has come to killing them, with the MLG water bucket from y150 and going into the deep dark on a whim... He never listens, and soon it will kill them Which makes one wonder how they are the last greens

[@heelturn2]

ohohoo well how the turn tables

[@theworstdadjoke6518]

Ahhhh I was rewatching and I realized they go yellow BECAUSE GRIAN STRANGLES SCAR, and when Scar punches him you see the starts of red with Grian. Then he kills him off screen and they both turn red. Everything about this is incredible

[@rainoftime37]

I know this is supposed to be angsty and serious but I can't help but laugh at 1:39 like yeah this is their entire dynamic lmao

[@ANIMALDRAGON]

ohymgod that sequence of them pulling on their heartstring and grian using it to strangle scar is GENIUS also your expression are just... mwah! *chefs kiss*

[@hanachii4260]

MY VOID THIS IS AMAZING Its one of those animatics that you want to say so much but cant at the same time The stuff from 3rd life, the flowers, the floating in void from hc season 8, the watchers and theres probably stuff i didnt notice but damn is this beautiful The different emotions just from one animatic theres so much going on that you gey frustrated and confused for both of them at the same times THERES JUST SO MUCH EMOTIONS ITS AMAZING!!! The way they jsut started beating up each other with the string that connects then from one another towards the end is amazing way to show the soulbound mechanic of the series and jsut AHHHHH VOID THIS IS JUST WAY TOO GOOD AMAZING WORK!!!!

[@chrisrin]

YES!!! absolutely FANTASTIC work! your expressions are so emotional and stunning. amazing amazing

[@sillyandyoucantstopit]

wow hi! i love your videos! also i agree, this video is really awesome :D

[@dumb_m1k0o.35]

Yess

[@acebii]

This timing was PERFECT because yesterday I was looking for Evelyn Evelyn double life animatics! The entire sequence from 2:56-3:19 will always be my favorite part of any song because it’s SO GOOD! I love how you made them fight with the string connecting them and the reminiscing at the beginning was beautifully done! Loved this! 😭😊👍❤️

[@nat.alie42069]

OHHHH MY GOD THIS IS SO FANTASTIC!!!!!! THE WATCHERS, THE ‘PULLING ON HEARTSTRINGS’ , B I G B chills. down my spine, down my arms. in my whole body. chills.

[@monicamaggio1359]

I love this interpretation of the upcoming episode ! It also makes sense for the two characters developments so far; Grian wanting so badly to have a soulmate that’s anyone but scar and scar just wanting to do whatever he wants without a bit of care on how grian would be affected. Can’t wait to see your future work for this animation is amazing!

[@RainDash9]

This is INCREDIBLE!! AHHHHH!! I absolutely love 2:00 till the end!!! To summarize (and theorize!): Since Grian is canonically one of the Watchers, he had a say in his own destiny when it came to his soulbound in Double Life. He always felt a guilty obligation to care for Scar after he was forced by the undead to fight him to the death in the 3rd life finale. After all, as a Watcher, he basically orchestrated for himself to win from the beginning no matter the cost, but what he didn't realize till after, is that winning wasn't worth losing the relationship he made along the way. So Grian killed himself, trying to escape the guilt that after all, he originally had a say in his destiny to win (no matter what happened in between). That's why Double life was created! In angst, Grian was willing to sacrifice everything for Scar in hopes of internal redemption and a second chance where they can live AND win together. However Scar "never asked for this!" and tries to tell Grian to stop living in the past. That's why Grian went through the five stages of grief in his first double life episode. He wasn't grieving that Scar was his soulbound, he was grieving the death of his own free will and that scar didn't even care to notice the sacrifice he was making for the both of them. The tragedy of it all is that they love each other like brothers and would do anything for each other... however since they are continuously forced to be together, they still struggle for independence and their own identity outside of each other.

[@TrotFox-cg1bk]

Not Scar killing Grian at the end resulting in them BOTH dieing. Incredible. If that actually happened i would freak out.

[@seineevee]

I love the animatic, I love the fact you used the entire song to build up the conflict, I love the usage of red and green for Grian and Scar, I love the “pulling of the strings” that first Grian and then Scar performs, I love this

[@ieatvinylrecords]

This is amazing and gorgeous and every little detail was so perfect. The part where they sing about growing up close and then it shows the original 3rd life series, them switching off parts during the chorus throughout the progression of the song, and the parts with the purple eye to signify watcher Grian UGH. MAGNIFICENT. ALSO when they fight by tugging on the string, impeccable, showstopping, unmatched. I literally squealed when I saw this in my recommended. The craftsmanship, the style, the thought, and the amazing ideas that went into this is just. This is so good, especially in such a short time frame. I can't wait to see whatever else you put out and binge watch your other videos.

[@ieatvinylrecords]

Also I forgot to mention this, but the line where it says "A parasite needs a host // I'm only trying to do what is best for us" fits their characters so well its unbelieveable. And I love the little detail where you added (with) in the line where it says "Your always trying to be somebody else"

[@L-ghtlessSky]

“Cause YOU never listen” from Grian, this means ‘you never listen to me when I tell you to be careful’ and from scar it means ‘you never listen to me begging you to stay in the present with me, your soulmate, instead of chasing BigB’ “You’re always insisting!” ‘You’re always insisting we go out and do dangerous things’ ‘you’re always insisting you want what’s right for us, and not what’s right for you” “I’m just reminiscing!’ on how careful you were in third life.’ “Just stop reminiscing!’ because I need you here with me, and we can do this together.’ “I feel something missing.” ‘Another person is missing.’ ‘your love is what’s missing’ “I just want you here with me!’ so I can keep an eye on you and make sure you don’t get us killed.’ “I just want my privacy!’ because I always let you go off and do your own thing, but you don’t do the same.’ “God, can’t we just get along?!’ we need to if I want to survive long.’ “God, won’t you leave me alone?!’ You’re already off with another man, you may as well make it final!’

This is truly amazing, just wow. That was so fast, i love the occasional touch of color, the watcher eye on grian's cheek. The inclusion of "scenes" from previous seasons. I love this, it's incredible. The end also might be foreshadowing, which i love too. Continue with your work, it's wonderful, as a young artist i hope to achieve your level someday. The character designs, too! The height of the characters remaining consistant. I'm running out of positive words. It's just so good

Yo. So uh. I've been watching that animatic around fitfteen times already, no exaggeration. This is like the second night i'm crying myself to sleep (but like, in a good way) over it because I just get overtaken by the Feels™. It's entirely and completely perfect, i can't explain it any other way. The song is wonderful, fits so well, the emotion in the singers' voices is breaking my heart. You did an amazing job with it, you had so many great ideas with the scenes and the poses and all that... The art is just wonderful, the care you put into each frame is incredible. I keep watching it i think just to enjoy just how well each frame fits and how good they look. And that conclusion... My heart.
