It's All Futile! It's All Pointless! | Desert Duo Life Series Animatic 

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

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!

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!!!

Lovejoy + Desert duo + angst + beautiful art = ✨perfection✨

"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.

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.

The flash back hug during the chorus is iconic- love the poses

Man. The strings of fate being used to show how Grian feels 'tied up.' Stuck with Scar whether he wants to be or not. Great stuff.

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!

DESERT DUO ANIMATIC WITH LOVEJOY SONG?!?! YES PLEASE. AND THE ART IS SO EDIBLE /pos

this video has altered the way i feel when this song plays in the best way

the spyglass for apathy and the cookies for dating apps UGHH so good. i love your artstyle its very expressive

TMW the realization that Grian killed all his friends in TL hits:

This is gut wrenching in the best way

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.

I've literally watched this like 7 times I come back here so many times

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

I never knew that Lovejoy and Life Series animatics would be so amazing, but here we are. Great job!

Your animatics are so much to me i can’t even explain

This is one of those animations I come back to time and time again

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.

Oh my god I just realized how often Grian kills his best friend/teammate in the Life Series

literally sobbing crying shaking this is so great i love the colors and movement and desert duo so muchhh

THE COOKIE AND THE SPYGLASS AND THESE SMALL DETAILS OMGG,HDSJFHSAD

“Eat those kids” with the Jellie pandas😭🥲

Om I love this so much you can't even imagine I'm obsessed

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"

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.

Oh I really like the idea of instead of the string changing color another one forms whenever you die- the burden of another string always reminding you you're closer to final death than before

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)

He seems to be coping pretty well. Joined a gang, the usual.

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)

HOW THE HECK DID I *JUST* SEE THIS?????????? THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER. ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE, HOLY SHIT??? IM SO INSANE ABOUT THIS, THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG EVER TOO OMGOMG?!?!? I LOVE THIS SO SO SO MUCH

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!

0:49 I love how the red string is attached to his neck showing that if scars dies, he dies.

OMG THIS IS SO GOOD!!! THE SONG CHOICE THE DESINGS!!!!! WILBURS SO RIGHT THIS WILL MAKE HOME IN MY GUT!!!!

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)

Im obsessed with this animatic it’s just SO good

* sniff * I'm not crying, you are. This was amazing! I loved this so much! Plus the song fits rlly well with this!

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.

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

AHHFdlksfj THIS HURT MY HEARTTTTT /POS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING WORK I LOVE THIS SO SO SO MUCH !!!

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

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!!!

MAN THIS IS THE COOLEST Lovejoy and desert duo

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

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.

THIS IS SO AMAZING!!!! I love the designs of Third Life Scar and Grian SM ❤️❤️❤️❤️

How many times have you watched this? Me: *yes*

Crying screaming rolling around on the floor I am in so much pain from this /pos

I couldn’t just express how this brought me to tears. It’s so beautiful made. And like, it’s ENGRAVED into my brain. Everytime I listen to the full song, when this portion of the song plays this runs through my mind. Like full AMV full video. You did so well it made me cry tears of happiness and sadness. (Mostly sadness, I sobbed over this to be honest.) I live this video and I love you even more for making it.

i like the way grian is getting increasingly tangled in the string. and the transition from dl to 3l. MY HEART. oh.......... that. that ending! as he's falling apart with the blood of his allies on his hands............. that's gonna stick with me.

im absolutely loosing my mind in all of the desertduo animatics ive seen today, im feeling all kinds of emotions, but what I do know for infact *is that i've gained a new fixation.* EDIT: I put so many videos in my must rewatch playlist... ITS ARHHGRAHSHFHAFWAD (desertduo my beloved)

I don't know why, but I love the way you draw Mumbo amd bigB

I really wish people would use more Lovejoy songs in Life Series AMVs because of Will's connection to Grian! Absolutely loved this one :)

I came here for Grian and got to listen to Wilbur sing...

I don’t think I can explain how happy I got when a Lovejoy song was used for this, plus the animations amazing!

i do not think i'll ever get over this animatic. OR YOUR ARTSTYLE. its so pretty. ouhghghgh........ om, i love you /p

this hurts me in so many good ways.

this animatic has altered my brain chemistry i haven’t felt so actually moved/been emotional over ananimatic in FOREVER. THIS IS SOGOOD AND FITS CGRIAN SO WELL

OMG THIS IS SO STUNNING "You will never get rid of me" MY FAVE LIKEER so amazingg it it describes their history so well and the art is so gorgeousss

i am going insane the chorus???? its perfect, the whole thing is wonderful

I'm never gonna hear this song again without thinking of these sad boys thank you so much

I may cry. This is so well done :,D also Grian needs a hug

This is going to turn into my new obsession, isn’t it?

This is the first video I saw from you. *You earned a subscriber!*

the lines "I don't miss you/I miss the thought of who we were" are so apt for double life desert duo, and your portrayal DID NOT DISAPOINT. in fact, i gasped aloud at how well this animatic was structured, and was subsequently interrogated by visiting family members. i love this a lot.

I've done it. I've found an animatic with both Lovejoy and Desert Duo. I've succeeded this is all I need in life.

OMG THIS IS SUCH A MASTERPIECE!!! this is my fav song and now my fav animatic!

no joke ive watched this for like 5 times the past 1 hour since ive discovered, everytime i click off and watch a new video i just find myself pulled back in, this is super super cool

Such an amazing animatic, like WOAAAAHHH :0 Tysm!

The way I gasped when I saw this :O Edit: This is simply my favorite now. Favorite what? Idk but it is my favorite.

Screaming shouting wow wow 💞❤️💓💕💫✨🌟☀️💕❤️💓💞
