I feel like Grian just kept quiet about recognizing the Watchers at the end, when he'd finally broke free of their control. He'd just smile, wave or wink at them, whenever they recognized him first and whisper his Watcher identity and greeting, depending on how close they were to him, when he left. I also like to think that they forcefully took him but asked permission to make him a Watcher, to which he said yes for some reason.

I like to think that he knew they were going to do it anyway, or that he wasn't getting out of there anytime soon so he just accepted it

I have a headcanon that they told him that the server was going to be destroyed, but he could help if he became a Watcher. This was, of course, an undercover threat, but at the time he thought the Watchers were trustworthy, so there wasn't really anything else he could do.

I don't know if it's cannon, but I believe it's because they said to keep the sever going, he had to join them That turned out to be the last of EVO tho

just rewatched this for the first time in a while with better knowledge of evo lore and omg does this hit infinitely harder i wanna scream this is so freaking awesome ajdsfkfhsdk

This is absolutely awesome! Maybe with all this rift action going on we'll get a glimpse of watcher!Grian in Hermitcraft at some point, this animation certainly makes me hope for it even more. Good job and happy anniversary!

Awesome animatic! I was wondering the meaning behind the group photo. Timmy and Martyn are scratched out in green, Grian in purple (obviously), but Pearl is also scratched out in purple? I'm not sure what that means.

I have a headcanon that everyone who survived from evo ended up being either listener or watcher. And yes i headcanon that pearl is a watcher, timmy and Martyn are listeners

How did my KZread recommendations just know exactly my two main interests rn

I saw this thumbnail at the end of one of your vids in jimmy's recent clip watching stream and I HAD to run right here this is such a big brained song/topic combo and you drew it so well!!!!!!!! I especially love the use of the link outfit, most people ignore it because it's a little silly for this heavy lore stuff, but the green in contrast to the watcher purple is so good visually. Plus it's a really lice transition from green (purity, innocence) to purple (lack of freedom, trapped by higher authority) and finally Grian's now standard red (raw nerves, bloody from escape)

I love this and i love every one sharing their headcanons which i’m promptly stealing

Let me remind you that your thumbnail right now looks like absolute gold and I love it

Can't wait for this! There's not a lot of evo smp animatics out there

Your art is really incredible and neat which inspires me to start drawing again. Bravo! 👏

HOWWW DID Y9OU DIO RTGHUHWYSUGW THIS WOWWWW- THE EDITING IS JUST VERY DETAILED AND COOL. You have totally captured the feeling the original Bitter Chaco decoration had so wellll. I love how you twisted the some details differently for the evo storyline. Like photo and eyes and stuff. Also I am gonna start eating those expressions. Milky this is so cool!! I am giving you a virtual high five 🖐

OK! We can see some EdiTinG ImProVeMEnt 👀 and lore like always for our boi ✨GRIAN✨ ...I can't wait other masterpieces to come!! :D

This is absolutely amazing!!! I love it! I literally waited 2 days for this. The animation is way better than I expect it would be. Also I love your Watcher!Grian design! It looks beautiful and also kinda insane looking? It just looks good! You did a wonderful job, and happy 1 year anniversary!

HOOOLLLYYY CRAAAPP THIS IS BEAUTIFUL SKJFHS THE EXPRESSIONS, THE DESIGNS, THE MOVEMENT, THE VIBE, THE STYLE HOW DO YOU DO THIS IT LOOKS SO PROFESSIONAL IM OBSESSED TEACH ME YOUR WAYS

I really love this omg! I feel the translations are accurate to whats being sung but also fit with watcher!Grian, I also love that you stuck to the original mv's art style a lot! I also love this part 2:17 because the whole faces-being-scracthed-out thing is on beat with the song! That shit is SO hard to pull off so I applaud you on that, 2:02 is also just such a great scene! The watcher looks more like a mother in that scene and it really helps showing the manipulation and stuff, I adore this video omg

AHHH I LOVE THIS! THE DETAILS AND EVERYTHING IS REALLY COOL! A small thing i noticed was in the picture (which I'm guessing is Pearl, Grian, Martyn, and Jimmy) was that Martyn and Jimmy's colour for the scribbling on their faces was green, and Grian and Pearl's were purple. Maybe Pearl is hinted to be another watcher? Or even, what if she's the watcher that's been showing up this animatic? 👀 Edit: By looking at the comments, i found the answer. I'd say that's a pretty cool headcanon! (It was that every evolutionist either became a watcher or listener) Another thing, the portal room closely matches the actual one! I'm glad to see it matches up :D

best song x best concept x best art award goes to M1lKyWay

Every time I come and rewatch this I always have a big smile on my face. I love this so much it’s so beautiful and it portrays the watchers so well. Thank you for making this!! I do have a question though (don’t feel like you need to answer). I’ve noticed that Grian’s necklace changes from white in the beginning to purple. I’ve tried to figure out a meaning for it but I’m really bad at analysis or putting certain thoughts into words. Was there a specific reason you made the necklace change colors?

@MilkywayAG

[tw: possible disturbing explainations, implied pain and suffering] so this wasnt canon or anything, i just put it in for a little detail! so!! you see how at the end of the first chorus, grian kind of got controlled by the watchers a bit? the purple meant to symbolized that the watchers have already 'planted' something(watcher's scent) inside him. which means he was always the watchers' only victim and he had no choice but to be a watcher. if he resists, the scent will grows inside him and slowly, painfully drag him down to become one of THEM.
