In which Grian regrets things.
(i tried So hard to get this video out before s4 but oh well. hopefully you like it. don't have to mention it but obvs this won't have any references to limited life)
Song: It's all futile! it's all pointless! by Lovejoy
Also published on Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram with the handle ommmmara
for any new people that might click this video, i stand with shelby
i won't delete this video due to the fact that it is My art and My hard work, even if it is tied to that man, but i wanted to make my stance on that clear
i love this animatic and have done for the past 11 months. i will continue to love it, as i always have - for the art, and the story being told... not for the song. #standwithshubble
It's good knowing that people know to separate the art from the artist
@@Wheresthatcow that is not my point. The term separate the art from the artist is never good - it teaches people that consuming an awful person’s work is okay to do, and therefore continuing to support said person both in terms of money and the algorithm is okay to do. It’s not.
My point with my comment is this:
As much as we would all love to go back and rewrite time to make wilbur not awful, or to make this song not written by him, or to make this wonderful artist have chosen a different song, we cannot. We can’t turn back the clock. What we can do is learn moving forward not to support the musician, and use this content to support shubble and spread the message of anti-violence. We can appreciate the animation for its art and the time and dedication that went into it, whilst still acknowledging that a different song would’ve been more appropriate if we could turn back the clock, and that could the artist have changed it they probably would’ve.
@Strych9ines I am deeply sorry for misinterpreting your message, I did not mean any harm and i will fix my behavior. Thank you.
This was great especially the part showing all his past "loves" he killed (Scar, Mumbo, and BigB) I also liked the part where 3rd life Gri ran into Scar's arms and the Jellie kitters in place of the "kids" song. Lovely job!
thank you!! that running part was actually one of the last things i set in stone for the animatic, the rest i visualized perfectly in my head. probably because that part doesn't really have any lyrics
@@ommmmara for a part added towards the end I say it fits exceedingly well! It added a nice Segway from the verse (and Grian in his jumper) to the chorus (Scar 'singing' the chorus to Grian)
@@PrinceLinkOfDragona mhm !!!! i definitely Wanted scar to sing that chorus and i'm glad i found a way
I like the difference in double life scar being wholesome and wanting grian to love him while in 3rd life he was like “you’re stuck with me, i’m a disease”. I also loved the view of al the different hearts connected. great job!!!
thank you so much!!! to comment on that, 3l scar supposed to represent how grian sees him, hence why at the end of the scene scar disappears and grian is alone, he was getting taunted by his own thoughts
veryyyy good i also just noticed you never showed scars eyes in grians flashback to him which is a really cool detail
So C!grian's been so in love with a disease/unhealthy relationship, he doesn't want to accept C!Scar's *true* love.
"I don't miss you, I miss the thought of what we were" :')
Amazing animatic!
God the entire sequence between "I dont miss u
You" and "somewhere warm to sleep" is so good I don't have the words omg it's so floaty and intense and emotional and tender and bitter and oof.
Lovejoy + Desert duo + angst + beautiful art = ✨perfection✨
The flash back hug during the chorus is iconic- love the poses
thank you!! i love your stuff as well. and it's interesting that you interpreted it as a flashback because i was meaning for it to be more of like. a physical representation of grian's thoughts and feelings. but i mean. i guess it kinda is a flashback. idk i just never thought about it in that wording
ur character designs are so good and the color coding and the missing third life and its all so perfect. also i 100% understand why you listed trafficshipping as a warning but it was very funny to me bc i read that and thought "good"
LMAO had to cover all my bases. it's right next to equally horrible things such as "fatal injuries" "violence" and "implied murder"
what does trafficshipping mean? /genq
@@GhostGecko shipping characters in the life series (3rd life last life double life and limited life) it's called that because their names go from green to yellow to red just like a traffic light
@@jaybirb13 oh ok ty
im once again losing my mind over this animatic what the fuck i have so many emotions
Your animatics are so much to me i can’t even explain
!!!!! i've done literally two in total. i'm glad to have made an impact
so real
This is gut wrenching in the best way
i really appreciate this comment
literally sobbing crying shaking this is so great i love the colors and movement and desert duo so muchhh
I watched this several times because of how beautiful the whole thing was. I had no idea how well Lovejoy songs fit the Life Series until this.. I like the idea of Perfume being with Scott and Jimmy’s whole thing.
The colors seem to mean a lot more than they do at the surface, like how in DL, you show Scar and Grian and green and red respectively, opposites, but in TL they’re the same kind of shade of yellow, that’s super cool and I love your art!!
This is amazing!! Absolutely amazing song choice, and I loved the style you used in this one. It's really amazing how much emotion you manage to convey through Grian's pixel eyes!! Absolutely beautiful animatic, incredible work!!!
i was waiting for someone to point that out !!! he intentionally doesn't have a mouth or a nose (aside from the very first frame of him, before he starts really thinking) and he doesn't actually speak at any part of this animatic. he's just wallowing in his thoughts, letting them consume him. his eyes are the literal window to his soul and to the truth. it all we're seeing, nothing else is conveyed aside from that. and also, it is a reference to his minecraft skin! :) because i think it's cute
I have rewatched this thing so many times..the format and the song and the colours and the pacing and the little details and the character designs and the BEAUTIFUL ARTSTYLE. this is a MASTERPIECE and i’m so happy it showed up in my recommended :D
Om I love this so much you can't even imagine I'm obsessed
AHHFdlksfj THIS HURT MY HEARTTTTT /POS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING WORK I LOVE THIS SO SO SO MUCH !!!
genuinely fanning my eyes im going to cry this was SO GOOD. the bit with him killing all his past favs...lord help me this was amazing
This is great! Love your animatics so much!! :D 🧡
God this has quickly become one of my favorite Life Series animatics I CANT STOP WATCHING IT!!! So I thought I should leave a comment. I'm so happy to see an animatic that rlly leans into the whole "Grian kills everyone he loves thing" as that's one of my favorite things with him and while there's a lot of fanart exploring that, I haven't seen any animatics that do so. And the way you utilized it here was so perfect!!!
My favorite part has to be the bit with Big B near the very end where he pulls his hand away to reveal the injury from Ren getting skewered, I have a weakness for "very injured character looking unnervingly happy" especially when it's used in the way it seems like here where it's almost taunting (an image of Big B haunting Grian, not B himself - that's just my interpretation at least)
Your animatics are fantastic and your art style is SO GREAT, I loveeeeee the way you draw Grian w' his eyes especially. Can't wait to see whatever you put out next!! (no pressure)
thank you so so so much i really appreciate this comment, especially since i recognize your username and i love your art :'> and to confirm! yes pretty much all of this animatic aside from the very beginning is implied to happen in grian's head, the bigb seen at the end is grian's own thoughts taunting him
Desert Duo and Lovejoy!? What more could I ask for XD
This is awesome btw! I love your style ^^
Alsoo, has anyone else realized that all three seasons, Grian ends up killing the people he cares the most about. (Scar, Mumbo, BigB)
thank you and yes that's what the animatic is about
@@ommmmara Oh- lol
right so I was vibing to the song, enjoying the amazing art and desert duo content... and then mumbo comes on screen. and im like! oh! right, 'cause grian killed him yada yada angst... still vibing.. and then bigb... and you should have seen my face. my jaw DROPPED!!!!!?!??!!?!? I never made the connection that grian has basically killed each of his strongest allies.... in every series. or at least some of his favorites. every one of them died by his hand and??? im in shock. beautiful art. im gonna have to think about this for a hot minute.
THIS WAS ME WHEN I MADE THAT CONNECTION ASWELL it's one of my favorite "fun" facts about the life series. i wonder which one of the bad boys he'll murder this season
BANGER omg this is so cool. ur artstyle is so
Oh my god. This might be the most emotional I’ve ever felt watching a Minecraft animatic. Oh my goodness-
i've been going back here to rewatch this so much cause this scratches my brain in such a good way
(like this goes so hard, the symbolism and the references, the desert duo parts go so hard to where it shows Grian's past loves and how they've lost their last lives (from Grian)? hit me in the feels with that one ngl)
OMG THIS IS SO GOOD!!! THE SONG CHOICE THE DESINGS!!!!! WILBURS SO RIGHT THIS WILL MAKE HOME IN MY GUT!!!!
This is the first video I saw from you.
*You earned a subscriber!*
* sniff * I'm not crying, you are.
This was amazing! I loved this so much! Plus the song fits rlly well with this!
Such an amazing animatic, like WOAAAAHHH :0 Tysm!
I havent slept and I am literally buzzing. Very good art good
I don't know how to say this other than this is so visceral to me. I've watched it so many times, and the only way I can describe my feelings about this is visceral. Like the part where Scar is on top of Grian is so viscerally uncomfortable to me (I'm aroace), but like it still works extremely well and actually pulls me into it more, and to sum this all up, good job.
thank you so much!!!!! i'm aroace too :))
@@ommmmara Nice!
DESERT DUO ANIMATIC WITH LOVEJOY SONG?!?! YES PLEASE. AND THE ART IS SO EDIBLE /pos
That was so good I can't even-
super cute!! amazing job!
the spyglass for apathy and the cookies for dating apps UGHH so good. i love your artstyle its very expressive
THAT'S SO GOOD amazing job
Everything about this is amazing !!
during the first few seconds, grian has this bit of shine in his eyes and an actual mouth while the rest of the video he only has his eyes, and even the shine is gone. i think this shows that he used to be so carefree before becoming linked to scar. but since scar is so carefree already, grian feels obliged to protect him which means he isnt as happy. not talking as much, letting scar take the lead, etc.
basically, grian just isnt happy. he isnt happy being linked or forced to stay with something, which may root back to the Watchers from EVO.
either way, grian cant even be happy with bigB because he knows no matter what, he's still linked to SOMEONE.
He seems to be coping pretty well. Joined a gang, the usual.
as you do!
THE COOKIE AND THE SPYGLASS AND THESE SMALL DETAILS OMGG,HDSJFHSAD
Very cool animation, king
THIS IS SO AMAZING!!!! I love the designs of Third Life Scar and Grian SM ❤️❤️❤️❤️
HEYYY THE TALLENT KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!
This is so good! I love how BigBs grave was a EVO symbol! Such a nice detail! And your artstyle is gorgeous and also good choice of music for Grian POV in the life series! By far my one of my favorite life series animatics!
Also may I ask what traffic shipping is?
thank you! i noticed that grian built graves in minecraft using a cross, and i thought "there's no way i'm drawing a christian religious symbol in my favorite fictional minecraft series"
and as for trafficshipping! it's the shipping between life series members. people like to use "traffic" because the color of the three lives looks like traffic lights. instead the term would be like. lifeshipping. which isn't as good a term
@@ommmmara Ah Thank you! But it was very clever to use the EVO sign as I think that wouldn’t fit as nicely!
Whats evo..
@@mikado_m EVO (evolution smp) was an old server grian made back in 2017. a few of the life series members used to be on that server (bigb, martyn, jimmy and pearl) and it's where the whole concept of the watchers comes from. the EVO symbol is in the logo, if you're curious you can look it up
AHH THIS IS BEAUTIFUL I LOVE ALL OF THIS SO MUCH :000
This is one of those animations I come back to time and time again
Dude omg I LOVE THIS
this is amazing!!! actually surprised myself how invested I was
This is awesome!!!
this video has altered the way i feel when this song plays in the best way
Oh my god I just realized how often Grian kills his best friend/teammate in the Life Series
UGH MAAAN! I LOVE THE DESIGNS frrr and it's so well done :0
ouchh this is so so good!!
The way I gasped when I saw this :O
Edit: This is simply my favorite now. Favorite what? Idk but it is my favorite.
I have no words oml that was amazing:')
iafiap my beloved!! and this fits so well with desert duo... they'll never be rid of each other! No matter how much they might want to be. head in hands
and that's why we love them
So good! Love the concept so much and the art end editing is amaizing too. Will definitely be rewatching it from time to time.
LOVELY!!! This looks amazing!
OMV THIS IS AMAZING!!
OH MY GOD STOP ITS SO PRETTY HURGHJRH /POS
THIS GAVE ME GOOSE BUMPS!! You made such a nice animation!!
Whoah. You really went there with this one. Not that Grian *doesn't* always somehow end up killing his closest friends/allies, and not that they *don't* always let him get away with it for some reason, buuuuut .... dang. Truth hurts!
can't wait for the ultimate bad boys betrayal
That was amazing!!!! Lovely animatic!
One thing I really like about this is the part where it’s like
“The shyness of waiting for his phone calls” it shows like pizza n stuff THIRD LIFE 🥰 they were gay that season
“Replaced by apathy” it shows the spyglass cuz it’s Last Life now, the season where Grian didn’t really interact with Scar much, instead hanging with the southerners
“And dating apps” a cookie cuz it’s double life now, and having a secret soulmate is definitely like a dating thing lol.
thank you for pointing that out !!!!! i really like that part
IAJEKF THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!! Your artstyle is so nice husgkjr
This is amazing I love it so much!!! Oh the part where 3l Grian is running towards Scar T_T
VERY EPIC
Incredible!
This is the most amazing thing i have EVER watched
I've literally watched this like 7 times I come back here so many times
I may cry. This is so well done :,D also Grian needs a hug
thank you! he does deserves to love
OH MY VOID
AAAAAAA
THIS IS SO GOOD
CLOSE TO TEARS OMV
THEY
YOU CAPTURED THEM SO WELL
YOUR ART AND THE TRANSITIONS AND THE AKSHDFKHRKSJDF
explodes /pos
How many times have you watched this?
Me: *yes*
So good!!!!
just this discovered this like 10months later and I love it so much???? This make me feel so sick (in a good way you hit my feels!!!!)
GOES INSANE
OGH MY???? IM SO IMPRESSED THIS LOOKS SO GOOD
THIS IS SO COOL I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.
YOUR ARTSYLE IS SO PRETTY
Awwwwwee! That is so sad and so awesome and so feelings
dude this is so fucking good
I never knew that Lovejoy and Life Series animatics would be so amazing, but here we are. Great job!
WHAT THE HELL THAT WAS AMAZING??!?!? I KNEW THE SONG WAS GOOD BUT I DIDN'T KNOW IT FIT SO WELL!
The song fits him INCREDIBLY WELL. It's actually really suprising, because I've watched this animatic several times before and never realized it. C!Grian and C!Scar click so well in the first life season, but in Double Life things just aren't the same, no matter how hard C!Scar tries to make it seem like that. He's still in love with C!Grian but C!Grian's since fallen out of love, but he still loves the *idea* of C!Scar. That's what it means by "I miss the thought of what we were". It's unavoidable, and this animatic is so good at showing that! Amazing work, very emotional!
AHHHH banger as always omg
I too have a lot of feelings about them and this here is a mix of two of my favorite things (the hc ccs and lvjy) so the feelings are like o(-(
DUPLICATED GEJEHSJHS /pos
just everything about this is amazing. Also, lovejoy and desert duo is a great combination I didnt know I needed. Beautiful :)
i do not think i'll ever get over this animatic. OR YOUR ARTSTYLE. its so pretty. ouhghghgh........
om, i love you /p
what the heck that was so well put together pop off
thank youu i tried
I don't know why, but I love the way you draw Mumbo amd bigB
they were very fun to draw!!! bigb specifically i've draw a bunch in my sketchbook because i really enjoy his pov of the life series, but mumbo is one i don't draw very often
MAN THIS IS THE COOLEST
Lovejoy and desert duo
Thank you so much for making this! You put two of my favorite things together, Desert Duo and Lovejoy!
Crying screaming rolling around on the floor I am in so much pain from this /pos
OMG THIS IS SUCH A MASTERPIECE!!! this is my fav song and now my fav animatic!
THIS IS SO COOL
THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME
This so well done and cool lookin
DESERT DUO MY BELOVED,!!!! I LOVE THIS SM,,,,,,
Im obsessed with this animatic it’s just SO good
Everyone talks about how Jimmy is the Canary. When he dies in the series everyone realizes how close death really is.
Grian is also some kind of harbinger of death. Anyone he’s close to in a series, he ends up taking or causing them to lose their final life in some way.
exactly! that's why i made grian's wings black. he's supposed to be either a crow or a raven, which are often seen as omens of death :) not only that, but he's also the creator of the game, so technically he's indirectly responsible for every death in the series
@@ommmmara The Raven and the Canary. The harbinger and the warning. I truly enjoy that comparison.
i've only been seeing Grian's black wings as some kinda reference to watchers but this interpretation goes way more hard,
Timmy as a omen of death to those around him? Grian as the one who delivers it? this itches a part of my primal brain👌😌✨
And it especially makes sense considering in this season both bad boys were among the first out-- Jimmy can be excused with the canary curse but Joel hasn't done that badly since the first season
@@whyamihere523 I dunno-Grian killed Timmy alot in that series. Not to mention, if he hadn't changed his mind and told Timmy to push the cart, he wouldn't have fallen off of Skynet.
I’m a big fan of your character designs. They’re very fluid with emotion and it’s just great. Wonderful work keep it up
I LOVE THIS I SO ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS all the callbacks to third life makes me HURT so bad i am going to explode. love the song choice and i love THIS
This comes up in my recommended at least once a week and I will watch it every time it is absolutely amazing
