Just a clarification - by "the watcher symbol," you mean the symbol shown on Grian's eyes in the the couple of frames after he says, "then you cannot re-roll," the symbol being the same one shown upon a fail at the secret-keeper. Right?

The symbol comes from the EVO smp from a while back. The reason everyone associates Grian with the Watchers is because at the end of the series Grian became one, and now because of Martyn the EVO lore has continued through the life series. It seems to becoming a bit more canon now with the Secret Keeper basically being a Watcher statue

This is one my favorite moments of all the life series, it was so well timed I thought Grian used a sound effect command or something. It wasn't until I watched Gem's POV that I realized it was just perfectly timed with the courthouse conversation that I had to rewatch it several times to fully absorb how amazing that moment is.

What is the watcher? I keep seeing people talk about it

@Crow_in_Thornes

@nicholasjohnston1970 It's a long explanation so I'll try to shorten it. Basically, in a previous SMP that Grian, a long with a couple other Life Series members and other yourubers, was in called the Evolution SMP, Evo for short. In Evo, they played on an old version of Minecraft and the goal was to play through all the updates if the game. They did so by completing tasks/missions sent to them by these beings called the Watchers. The Watchers portrayed themselves as these benevolent angels that were helping guide the players through the updates by giving them tasks and then making Nether portals for the players to travel to the next update. However, it was later learned that the Watchers weren't so nice and supportive. While they did reward successful tasks, they also punished players if they did things they didn't like. Grian was often punished because he liked it prank and take stuff from other players. Eventually, the Watchers made the while server go through the End portal to fight the dragon, but instead of fighting together, every single player was separated and had to fight alone. Once the fight was over, when Grian stepped in the portal to return to the overworld, I stead of getting the usual dialouge/poem thing you get during the credits, Grian's screen instead showed a conversation between 2 beings labeled Watcher 1 & 2. They basically say that the server has gotten too unstable and that they will need to take one of the players out to help stabilize it. Grian agrees to go. Grian then gets turned from a human player into a Watcher a kind of demigod-like being. The other players return to the iverworld to see that Grian has gone missing and they've been moved thousands of blocks from their old spawn. The Watchers give the new mission of starting over on building basically. Instead the members go back to their old span to see it completely destroyed. This is when the players learn that the Watchers aren't just benevolent helping hands, but instead powerful beings who are just playing with the server members like pawns in a game of chess. Watchers feed off of the emotions of the players, so by making them run around and do things, they're basically farming the players for emotions to eat. The players don't like this and want to escape, and this is when they introduce the Listeners. The Listeners are the same kind of species/being as Watchers, but they disagree with how the Watchers are treating the players, so they devise a plan to help the players escape. Eventually, they do, and that's the end of Evo. The reason there's Watcher lore in the life series is that Martyn was in Evo, and if you watch his life series perspectives through the seasons of 3rd life and other seasons, he's been making it a part of his lore that the Watchers actually made the life series as a sort of hunger games-styke death match to brew up more emotions to eat and as a punishment for the Evo members for leaving. The Watchers learned that negative emotions taste the best, so things like reds killing players, team mate betrayal, etc. are all devised as a way to farm more meals for the Watchers. In Martyn's lore, Grian went Rouge from the Watchers, but because he left Evo before the Listeners came in, he doesn't know about them, so he's a lone Watcher. Instead of Watching his friends play to the death and suffer, he decided to join the SMP himself because he's k own for being chaotic and often silly, so he's trying to spoil the other Watchers' meals with more positive emotions. Irl, Grian doesn't write or participate in any of this lore, but he and the other Life members have given Martyn permission to write lore about their characters. A lot of people headcanon that as the games go on through more series, Grian is slowly slipping on his ability to hide his Watcher aspects. So like, when Grian said Mumbo had failed and the portal sound happened to play right after, the other members were like "wow spooky!", but what people are starting to headcanon for the Watcher lore is that Grian accidentally let some of his Watcher side slip and show, hence his eyes turning to the Watcher logo from Evo in this video. I hope this helped clear thi gs up! There's a lot more but I don't want to write a whole novel in this comment section. I suggest checking out Martyn's previous seasons if you want to see some of the lore in action. He's also done a couple of lore explanations in live stream, and vods of those are on his KZread channel. Or I can comment more if you like.

Honestly Joel really does give off jacket vibes with his monotone voice like I needed this to realize it but it makes SENSE and you draw it so well omfg, especially when he just keeps having his hands in his pockets mwah

I love Joel’s “you are a failure!” Makes me laugh in everyone’s perspective 😂

Poor etho The watcher eyes on grian and thr tango fall! Awesome touches

joel's failed mlg hits so much harder without the audio from the episode, i'm fully dying 😂

That crumpled Joel on the floor was hilarious. So cool that you've been doing animations for every episode 😄

Poor Joel, not only did he probably have an akward talk with his wife because of Etho and Grian but man also failed a bucket clutch in front of everyone X)

OMG this was ALL so GOOD! 😊 Gem riding up on Tango as the Headless Horsewoman, Torchy Talk, Joel's deadly silent "splat", Grian's eyes... 😆

Goodness I love these animations so much! The way you animated Tango falling over as he turns face to face with Gem's skeleton horse was incredible! It really fit his scream so well! The almost silent clip of Joel's body hitting the floor had me cackling. So glad you only included the one sound effect. Grian's eyes changing to the Evo symbol is always so good, and that moment was way too perfect! I also love how Etho, Mumbo, and Scar all jump, too. Their expressions are amazing! Skizz being endlessly confused by Tango talking to Torchy was beautifully animated as well. I love Torchy's design with the heart too! Wonderful work! Thank you for sharing!

0:45 That facial expression on Skizz is PERFECT (and again at 1:10 lolll)

I love this so much 😂 I love how we all agree that that portal opening was a watcher moment byt then theres just gem doing it for a task lol xd Amazing ❤

I love these animatics, this is so good! 10 Ethos out of 10 Ethos 👍

It was amzing seeing this animation in Skizz' episode 4!

I'm absolutely loving how you portrayed Skizz's confusion with Tango speaking to Torchy

I love how skizz like refused to believe Tango was going crazy and talking to himself😂

Tango geting jumpscared by gem look was funny. And torchy following tango around is adorable looking.

Session 3 was definitely very taxing for everyone. Physically, mentally, and emotionally.

0:12 Etho’s face here is priceless

the little torchy shoulder pet is sooo cute

Etho saying “I love you” isn’t what we would usually see but the Eye expression Is very funny

All these moments are drawn out so great, I also like how you drew Tango’s fire friend, good work! 😄✌🏻👏🏼

I was super excited to see the bit with Joel included in Skizz's episode 4!

we aren't acknowledging the I Love You bit enough that was animated to perfection the emotions really shine through

1:02 is one of my favorite moments from the series. Just pure confusion. Love how you animated it :)

I love these so much! Tango's full sail flip and freak out of pumpkin Gem, all the Torchy bits, The End portal opening as word of law by the Watchers and it being a thing inflicted through Grian and him noticeably being moved by it as it happens. SOOOOO GOOD!!!!

I love all the little details you added like making torchie a tiny little flame and the evo symbol when the portal opened

Thank you for animating all the good Joel bits this session. He was the highlight 😂

I love so many bits of this ... your Torchy design, Joel just going SPLAT with absolutely no context, and of course Grian laying down the RULES. lol

The way Tango falls when Gem approaches him is hilarious💀 I also really like Torchy’s design

THE HAIR AT 0:18 IS AMAZING WHAT-

I love the "YOU ARE A FAILURE" I laugh at that every time I watch it

0:18 probably my favorite part, you hear Gem approaching but the jumpscare is still perfect. And I love how you draw Torchy, he looks like Calcifer from the Howl's Moving Castle movie!

This is the first animation I've seen of Etho getting peer pressured into saying "I love you" to Joel. Amazing 💖

I love these so much! I really need to watch Tango's. I saw three moments in this I haven't seen in anybody else's.

I put the YOU ARE A FAILURE as my ringtone, gives me a chill every time I watch this video

joel dying from the jump with no words was hilarious. You are really good at picking the *iconic* moments from each session XD

I love your Tango design so much! And torchy is actually perfect

Tango being jump scared by Gems horse is perfect 🤣

This has just become one of my favorite videos ever like oh my god? This is so good!! Joel's "You are a failure" and the splat is just perfect 👌

Lizzy’s little face of disdain at Grian and Joel having a close moment is just hilarious hilarious

I love the way you drew Torchy. So cute!

I love how you animated the evo symbol in Grians eye as the lighting hit. Such a nice detail! Also I love your animations

Wait, you're cranking out a quality animatic EVERY WEEK?! You're a beast!

This one made me BIG smile

oh my goodness all the expressions in this are golden, joel's deadpan especially XD

i love this so much! grian’s watcher eyes were a nice touch..

(Love how Grian’s pupils turn into the Evo symbol when the end portal is activated, that’s SUCH a cool detail)

i love the facial animations on everyone. I am literally studying your videos to figure out how i can get better at expressions.

Torchy was like a mini tango cause tangos hair is usually animated as fire

Wow! This is so amazing! It’s hard to find time to watch all the povs and these are actually a pretty good recap! I especially love the part where Grian’s eyes flash with the evo symbol because of the end. I rewatched it so many times! Amazing as always! ❤

the amount of joel moments make me happy :-) great work!

All of these wonderful jokes and interactions, and then there’s just Joel falling do his death

We need Torchy to return it’s so funny seeing everyone’s reactions to Tango talking to himself

This might be the funniest one yet, and they are all so great! Absolutely love your style, I am always just as exited to watch these animatics as I am to watch the actual episodes! :)

I’m loving these animatics SO MUCH. Your design of Tango’s imaginary friend is so cute! Also that Watcher Grian tidbit..👀

Love the way you draw tango, how expressive everyone else is and how you improve on scenes and make them so better.

poor skiz, tango just kept giving him a heart attack🤣

Again in love with the expressions, and I love how the flame hair moves when they fall backwards. Amazing as always Rusto, hope you’re doing well!

Animated tango and skizz is hilarious 😂

thank you so much for these in a nutshell animatics, you always manage to put in something in a way that catches me off guard and pulls a laugh out of me that makes my dog look at me in confusion. 11/10 as always

I am over the moon that you're doing these for each session!! I absolutely love your animations!!

Rusty out here blessing us with another banger!! I was chuckling the whole time!! Tangos falling animation, Joel's falling animation- honestly the whole thing was particularly smooth 🎉

Amazing job Rusty I love your animations, thank you for making these amazing moments even more awesome!

tango falling when gem comes up to him on the horse is just so good, i can't- i've watched it like 7 times already its too good

Lil Torchy!!! Thats so cute!! New head canon officially acquired XD

The perfect splat though

“YOU ARE A FAILURE!” 🤣

Damn Grian became the Watcher for a second-

You have to love their chanting of "fail" at the end of each episode if someone failed their task.

This is incredible! The animation of Joel failing that water bucket clutch is just amazing.

That Joel drop was some asdfmovie level comedy right there. Bravo!

Awesome job on this one! So many great moments!

Ohhh man I drew one of the scenes you did here (the one with Joel Grian and Lizzie) and the way you’ve done it is almost EXACTLY what I had in mind for mine, I aspire to reach your level one day

OMG secret life EP 4 just came out today and im SO excited to see what you animate for it!!

these nutshell videos are wholly the best thing coming from this series. theyre so much fun

Thank you for your fantastic contributions this is fantastic

This is amazing, please keep them coming! Such good work!

Tango's flail backwards at Spooky Gem is the BEST

I love this so much omg, it's so smoothly animated!

“Your wife is right there dude!” Lizzie: **disapproving stare** “get a room guys”

"You are a FAILURE!!" Is one of my favorite lines

Holy heck man, you are pumping this out fast! And at such a good quality for having less than a week to make these.

Gem died then decided cosplaying death and terrifying everything was her newest hobby lol

This is SO funny. Gives me a massively needed laugh. Love the animation, and I can't wait to see more!

I love how theres one short clip thats just Joel failing a water bucket jump

Amazing art as always!

It was amazing how many things coencided with the end portal opening.
