Got a secret, can you keep it? | Secret Life SMP | animatic

Spoilers for Secret Life session 1??? idk what to "tag" here

HOLY MOLY???????? WHAT IS IN THE WATER IN THIS FANDOM THAT EVERYONE KEEPS MAKING SUCH INCREDIBLE ART AND ANIMATIONS SO FAST?????????????

THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING!!!!

[@Casxda]

Idk why but is oddly calming Also I like how the “Secret Keeper” looks like a person :D

[@GenrihG]

It is! This cover is absolutely gorgeous! And yeah I headcanon that the Secret Keeper is some antient God/Watcher-like-creature that rest in there for so long that forests moss and vines grew all over it.

[@leedesfleurs]

@@GenrihG I hope this becomes the fanon so much; they keep referring to the Secret Keeper like a person too so it has the fresh scent of LORE

[@slidaverage6]

In the cobble, it looks like the portal thing that's associated with the watchers. A lot of people's head cannon is that they're watching the life series. The portal thing looks like this: ◼️◼️ ◼️ ◼️ ◼️ ◼️ ◼️ ◼️ ◼️ ◼️ ◼️◼️ Weeell... It's pretty darn close

[@OneLittleE]

@GenrihG Totally! The Evo symbol is on the SecretKeeper's face too.

[@OneLittleE]

@@slidaverage6 Thats the Evo SMP symbol, where all the watcher lore came from with Martyn and Grian. I noticed it too

[@theenderninja5687]

I'm so happy someone used this song, as it was the first song to come to mind for animation/animatics. Also love how its ppl keep finding songs that somehow fix almost exactly to how some of the storylines play out.

Dude this in insane! I loved how you made the secret keeper a person bc I love that hc and have been having it since the series started! The secret keeper just feels like a Goddess who watches over the people and leads the watchers. To me, she feels almost like Te Fiti from Moana ❤

I'm so glad SOMEONE made an animatic for this season with this song because this song was going through my head the entire time I was watching all the POV's! I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought of it, and that at least one of the other people who had is such an excellent artist.

[@SoomeoneudontknowLoL]

Yup exactly my thoughts 🤣

[@ranjanasharan4051]

scar maybe watchers favourite if you think about it. was in an alliance with a watcher (grian) in 3rd life and lost only to him, was given 6 lives by the watchers in last life, in double life was paired with grian again if something worked once why not try it twice, i cant make any connections from limited life, in secret life was the first to fail a task but got a reroll and the reroll was like the easiest hard task we saw not to mention how they constantly want him to be the villain which meant that he didnt have any allies and anyone to get attached to which help in the final where he went wherever wind took him and won.

[@BearCobb]

This animatic made me love Secret Life ten times over

[@circusdremfnafsmp6845]

This is probably my favourite minecraft smp animation the lyrics you paired with certain characters were perfectly chosen

[@radiosnacktive8773]

I can’t believe I’ve been involved in online fandoms so long that I’m witnessing a circle back to Secret from (iirc) PLL. I fully expect Secret Life to become equally as dramatic in the end as the innumerable fan edits and animations this song has been a part of

[@EvanNeedsTherapy]

I’d love to see someone do an animatic with this song once Secret Life ends so they can reference the plot more, so far the plot has been too comedic for a song this sinister, but I do love your interpretation and art style. Well done!

holy moly this is insane and so good and also i love it

HOLY CRAP- FIRST OF ALL HOW ARE YA’LL ALREADY COMING OUT WITH INCREDIBLE ANIMATICS- second of all, MY GOSH WHY DOES THIS SONG FIT SO SO SO SO WELL? And third of all 1:04 THIS. FRAME, MADE. ME. SHIVER. Martyn got lower then literally anyone else- it genuinely felt like everything was after him- and it feels like we’re watching the animatic from a Watchers perspective, which is also just- MWAH 🤌 chefs kiss!!! But “Takin *this one* to the grave” completely not a secret that the Watchers are still targeting Martyn, Someone (I actually thing it was Scott and Impulse) said “Karma for the last season” WHICH ALSO- SCOTT AND IMPULSE TEAMING UP AS THE FINAL TWO- LIKE HELLO? 😂 this season is going to be SO exciting and I think that more then just Martyn will be doing lore this season especially since the Secret Keeper has a Watcher Symbol on its face (in most fanart the Watchers have a kind of white mask with the Watcher symbol on it, so farther proof that the Secret Keeper is a Watcher) but not only that- JIMMY SAID “That symbol looks familiar” LIKE 2 MINUTES OR SO IN- AHHH I CANNOT WAIT! Coming back to this animatic- I’M SO SAD MARTYN DIDN’T DO MORE LORE THAN THR “NO BARK ONLY BITE” 😭
