InTheLittleWood REACTS to "Bait a Yellow // Secret Life Animatic" 

giggling kicking my feet as martyn analyzes the frames and makes me feel smarter than I actually am for knowing art stuff

The fact that in this reaction Grian managed to trick even Martyn, who knew what his task was due to it saying it at the start, is so funny to me. He did a really good job of selling it

4:10 The "One-Stick Horse" is a reference to one of Bdubs's "patented" techniques where he used items (sticks) flowing from a hopper as a timer to measure the speed of horses. Ironically, a one-stick horse would be a very fast horse according to this measurement technique, but Bdubs doesn't point out the mistake for the bit (or misses it completely)

When it comes to canine interpretations of etho’s skin, I think it’s almost exclusively the arctic white fox he gets fused with. It could be tied to dog pack white fang kakashi lore, but I’m willing to bet it’s because he had a white fox as a pet in s7 and the white ears go well with the white hair. Also goes well with his personality/character

As an artist watching people analyze frames gives me unbelievable joy Because when you're animating something you just have to accept that 99% of people are not going to see the art, half the time people aren't even looking at the screen as they watch the video It's so nice to watch someone appreciate the amount of work that goes into people's animations Animating stuff is agony, major respect to the people that do it

a "one stick horse" comes from the way Bdubs measured horse speed in HC a while ago! In his method he used tripwires and sticks to measure the time per distance. A person underneath this comment pointed out that they accidentally switched it around in the session! I still measure my horse speed in sticks :D

I love how Martyn is just complimenting how people draw his friends and then he just says "you done so much you can't do but you done it anyway" XD I love seeing Martyn react to animations

Honestly love how he notices all the little details in these animatics Make me feel quite appreciated as an animator

Etho is often drawn as an arctic fox, probably because in s7 he had a arctic fox named side-kit, and also because people love giving Etho a wintery theme due to being Canadian! (I don't know why that one chatter said he was often depicted as a dog, because that's just not true lmao)

"grian gives pearl vibes with that cloak on" SKYBLINGSS

Etho tends to be drawn as an artic fox because in his single player he is Canadian (snow) and in his single player he had a fox named Side Kit

Thank you so much for reacting to my animatic, I'm always so excited when it comes to your reaction for fans content And you actually make a good comment and make me so happy when you notice a little detail I've put in Thank you for bringing us joy over the years and I'm so glad I can expressed my love for this series and give it back to you :D

iirc Etho is usually drawn more like a fox than a dog but I could be wrong.

Grian's task was to be told by a yellow that his task was to sing. His goal as is shown in the animatic was to just fully commit to not seem suspicious.

There's a nice little design tidbit that's in this animators designs, and that's the fact that everyone has three hearts in their design that fits them (for example Mumbo's buttons on his suit), and it shows how many lives they have left. Like seriously, you can see one of Joel's hearts is broken because he's a yellow life, and that's so awesome.

At the point this happened in the session, martyn was also a yellow, which made this task done TWICE

Is that Martyn in thy Little Wood

I adore the way Melloz draws Cleo. Not only the design, but the way that they move and even stand fits their personality so well.

I love how involved he is with this series. It may be run by Grian, but I feel like the lore is nestled deeply in this man's heart.

I love this task Grian got, also can't wait for the next life series and more funny memes and out of context we can get.

5:50 She looked right at Martyn's face cam when she said that.

I find it funny that grian was animated like a child

Scar is actually very tall in real life, apparently he got measured and is about 6 feet tall or something but you can’t tell because of the wheel chair.

I love seeing Martyn react to these incredible animations as much as I do watching the videos themselves!

Not often I find myself enjoying react content, but Martyn makes so much darn commentary over the actual content of the video that it becomes enjoyable.

I dunno if you read these comments Martyn but just so you know, Arctic Fox Etho has been a pretty popular fanart design since he did his ice base in.... I wanna say HC Season 7? The one that had Shade-E-Es. It's kinda stuck around ever since

For the part about the sticks, during a season of Hermitcraft, Bdubs set up a rough redstone system to time how fast his horses could run a small course so he could better gauge which was the fastest. Basically, the longer the horse took the more sticks would get transferred into a chest, so sticks is basically Bdubs' way of measuring the speed of horses, and the higher the stick number the worse the horse (although Bdubs has on several occasions forgotten the "high number = bad" element of his measuring system when referencing it after-the-fact, so him calling the horse a one-stick horse is meant to be a bad thing, even though in his original measuring system, one stick would have been insanely good to the point of being unrealistic).

Instantly Watching this Again! I love every Milasecond of this dude. The art style is so expressive and so On Point too like there's no joke about that!!

I love how when Scar opens the barrel for Grian he can easily each it with his hands but Grian has to kneel up on the table to reach it 😂

Joel was so mad at grian after this and it wasn't even that bad 😆

I love that Grians eyes are lines and mumbos are small and beady and everyone else's fits their style

For so long I thought Grian was just saying gibberish (I mean, he is) until I looked up “Welsh town with long name” 😭

I just wanna say, for the regular tasks, i think that they are given by very loyal followers of the watchers, and i mean VERY loyal, and the hard tasks, they are personally given by the council. Then again i am new to the lore so yea :/

laughing as a welsh person

All the people Grian was talking to were green. He thought if he went up to a yellow singing it would be too obvious, so he sang around the greens and waited for one of them to rat him out to a yellow.

I love that you don't just watch them, you comments on the art itself

I always thought that calling the horse "one stick" meant it was slow because it could only go into first gear (like a manual car or motorcycle)

I love Grian being so smol he has to climb up onto the counter

I love Cleo's "Sassy Dead Woman" design

i love how Martyn mentions Scar and Grian's height difference, Grian is a birb so it makes sense meanwhile Scar is a vex/elf, if you think about it they both could be smol ✨

Proves we need a Life series musical

I love how anyone trying to say the long Welsh place name always ends up as "Llanfairpilly..mumblemumblemumble...gogh gogh gogh.

How they drew everyone is so adorable

THE WATCHER SYMBOLS NOOOOO-

An old horse speed test involved gathering sticks as you go, so a 1 stick horse was a very slow horse (or a very fast horse in the simpler version, but based on context, they were using an inverted test) whish is also where 1 Stick Wither got it's name.

I love how Grian is just canonicaly short

I'm loving the animatic reactions

That was one of the cutest animations for grian

Ahhh so glad you reacted to this!

Oh man is the animation hilarious!! Its one of my favorites (one of the animatics I often come back to even!)* by how cute and well drawn the lifers are and how it never fails to entertain in the shots I've come to love watching Martyn's animatic reaction videos and its so fun seeing his reactions! I'm hoping he checks out Persefida's animatic "Run, Scar, Run!" soon

i love these videos so much

I love your reactions to these, makes the funny feel funnier yk

Given how much you enjoy going through all the little details I’m surprised Noxlotl’s stuff has yet to be reacted to - but really all your reactions are great

Yay! Martyn reacting to stuff and things of my favorite animation youtubers!

YES NEW REACTIONN!!

Melloz W!! The expressions are amazing and the movement!!

One of my favourite parts is directly after this is where Joel says something along the lines of “hey guys! My worlds absolutely on fire right now, how are you guys?”

I did this task in person, my mother did the door challenge but with seats so she had to move around the table 3 times. My cousins were onto her but one cousin didn’t think anything of me singing until I said “Did you notice something strange going on?”

5:35 I'm welsh. HE GOT THTLAT PERDLFECT HOW THE FU-

I love how tall they drew cleo

Martyn is so right, like so many artists draw Cleo so well.

The height difference 6:05

thats a cool way to draw Cleo forgets thats how cleos vtuber model looks like

I think you, smallishbeans, solidarity and one other was yellow. I think this was episode 3 where gem opened the end

I've seen a lot of people draw Etho as a fox too

Silver Fox is american slang for a hot older gentleman. Etho's skin's hair is silver, he's on the older side for a youtuber, and is always a gentleman so it just fits.

Great vid

martyn reacts are peak

I wish there was an empires season two the musical

OMG IM EARLY FOR A MARTYN VID????? YESSSSSSS!!!!

Nice

You are the best life series pov you always bring fun to my heart. The ghosts that rise above with the clouds that shake the sky’s and the bloodlust that scores the ground in a deth match that few have found. That’s all I got can you make a better version and replay this comment?

Martyn watch Secret Life Scar, villain next

Martin Cleo was the last green name remember

(I have rewritten this comment TWO TIMES because it became me complaining about my lack of spoons and both of my arms being in slight pain) I envy this animatic and Martyn’s ability to analyse, I can do both, I have an art style that’s nice so I theoretically could make an animatic and work on it right now and I can analyse things (example as I was watching an Omori play through I managed to piece together the gayness of Basil and Sunny by analysing Basil’s portrayal in headspace) BUT I DON’T HAVE SPOONS, I AM GOING TO END THIS COMMENT HERE BEFORE I START COMPLAINING AGAIN. I AM GOING TO NOW ANGRILY READ STUFF ON AO3 BECAUSE I NEED THE ANGST SO K FEEL BETTER ABKYG NY SUFFERING. GOOD DAY OR NIGHT.

one stick horse means it's super slow

#Minecraft the Musical

Have you seen noxlotl’s life series amv “Here we go” ?

The rules to drawing: 1. Draw him short compared to other ppl 2. Over exaggerate the laugh hugely

Please react to the perception check animatic! Its amazing

Hold up... etho is dawn as a dog? I thought that was ren.

"what is that frame??" that martyn, is watcher!grian

What stream is this from

Have you considered to watching the bigger life series animations by like Rusty Courage or Christrin. The ones with songs. I know they use copyrighted music, so it could be problematic, however it would just effect the one video. On the other hand, you could isntead react to them without the sound being recorded, which would be cool. Alternativly, you might have just chosen not to post such things here. Lol.

Sometimes creators reacting to videos and constantly pausing them annoys me-but not like this. Analyzing every single frame is my favorite type of reaction

Why does Philza look even more British ?

Ngl seeing cleo in that animation she looks like a dommy mommy ❤️❤️❤️
