i like how scar's first instinct with afk grian is to coo at him like he's a dog

I like how Keralis and Gem basically did the equivalent to drawing on his face with a Sharpie and then Impulse and Scar decided that the opportunity demanded Grian die.

It's so sweet that Scar's first reaction when Grian revealed himself was concerned about him being awake so late. "You aren't sleeping?? That's not healthy, go to bed"

I like that you decided to express what Grian was saying by drawing him IRL! Such a nice touch instead of just having it from the perspective of the other hermits without his voice!

I love how expressive Grian is!!! Like, he doesn’t just freeze or schlump when he’s AFK, he’s chilled and relaxed like he’s sleeping!! Also the regular cuts to irl Grian hiding behind his hands or leaning back in his chair is a great touch

Scar's swap from "oh no you heard me" to "WAIT it's LATE for you!" is always my favorite bit from this whole encounter, and I love that you included it :D

I liked Grian's smug face and posture as he went "Scar, what are you doing?" Really added to the whole surprise of him being there

The cuts in and out of the game/real life were a great touch. Absolutely love how you portrayed the chain of events.

The fact that scar's first reaction to grian not being afk was to scold him for staying up past his bedtime

I love how it pans to IRL Grian as well. Amazing animation as always!! :)

I can only imagine how scar felt editing his part afterwards knowing that grian heard all of it 😅

grian going from thinking gem's building something to protect him to realising he's being sold is the greatest thing ever because that's such a perfect encapsulation of how she is & how people view her 💚

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE how you animate The Hermits, especially Scar & Grian (5 Stages of Grian is my favorite, but all of your animantics are just too perfect)

I just realized that Scar has a habit of babytalking Grian when he is AFK.

I love this SO MUCH. The expressions. The timing. Grian’s reactions at his desk. Scar PULLING OUT A POCKET WATCH which is so perfect for his aesthetic for this season. As Grian himself put it, chef’s kiss.

I loved how smug Grian looked when he said "scar, what are you doing." I about died laughing.

I love that Keralis took a picture, it's so Hermitcraft to add that little detail in 😂

I love everything about this lmao. The sleeping grian, irl grian's face, everyone's designs. All perfection

I love how you gave Scar a cane, it shows his irl disabilities while still letting him move around ❤

I love the twist that you made a whole other grain design just to show him talking while he is afk cool and unique. Also we must talk about scars watch it is amazing.

I love the way you animate little things from scar with a cane to keralis drawing on a cardboard box

Your animatics never disappoint, this is amazing

The wild dichotomy of Scar being quite possibly the biggest Disney fan in the world to him only speak-singing one line from an incredibly classic Disney song is; priceless.

The delight on Impulse’s face as he explodes Grian’s general existence is one of my favorite parts of this

I love how every time Grain goes afk it's portrayed as his character just falling asleep Makes me feel like he fell asleep at a party and everyone is just taking turns messing with him until he wakes up.

This was my favorite Hermitcraft moment, I love this so much :D The way you animated Scar's shriek was AMAZING and I laughed so hard

Your artstyle is so nice and cozy.

Oh my gosh, I love all the incredible expressions we got on this one! Impulse with the bow, Gem calling out her wares like a full-blown merchant, Scar’s pose when he realizes he’s not wearing pants, Grian waking up and turning around to Scar. This is amazing! I can tell how much effort you put in to this one (not that you don’t put in effort in your others, but this is absolutely top notch). Great work as always!

I love that the illustration of choosing who to AFK near, is a flip phone 😆

I love that Scars just CONCERNED at why Grians up so late!

im obsessed with the idea that going AFK URL is just the equivalent of dissociating. every once in a while I just go afk dw

love how everyone’s wings looked different

I like how You illustrated Real-Life Grian, it's accurate to how he actually wears glasses and has a stubble. The Expressions are just- Mwah, Chef's Kiss.

Scar is the type of guy to throw all of plans for the day away, just to hang out with his friends and cause some wholesome shenanigans

Love the detail of how scar has a clock SPECIFICALLY for London,

Bahahahaha, the switching between irl and game Grian was super clever! and the reveal that he was awake at the end was hilarious, even funnier than the original. knocked it out of the park as always :D

Scars little jump. Scar has the most pure and impute heart at the same time. 🥺 sweet baby

I looove having grian just sitting and chilling to represent being afk

Lol, I love how they climbed out of the Boatem hole, and that you gave Scar a cane.

Have I mentioned that I love your art style? Because these character designs are amazing! I love Scar’s cane and wings!!!

3:00 I love how grain is rolling on the floor laughing! He looks like a younger brother that just pranked his older and more serious brother for the first time!

The fact that you mixed the actual minecraft on the monitor, the irl Grian when he’s speaking and of course your own animation characters all in one is so cool :D (also love your Gem design! The two buns with her curly hair just suits her so well :D)

God, I can't get enough of these animations, I love them so much! ❤❤❤

I absolutely love this. I also like how it goes back and forth between in game and real life, that's a really nice touch

Thank you for so splendidly animating such a vital moment of Hermitcraft history. Well done! (also, gotta love how quickly Gem's bit went from "protection bubble?" to human trafficking lol)

Scar and Grian in ur style are such a babies 🥺🥺 i loved this sm, amazing video once again ❤❤❤❤

The saddens in scars voice when he resizes thay grian heard everything is priceless

keralis put a funny hat on him pearl let someone else mess with him (for a good price to) impulse exploded him but only scar went out of his way, to build a whole a$$ roller coaster for him

Probably one of the funniest moments about Scar getting scared is that he fell out of his wheelchair. Which is both mildly bad and hilarious, only mildly bad because I don’t know if that could cause a bunch of issues, but with how chill he was about it I think it didn’t do any harm

I loved Scar’s “hello there!” 😂

When grian "woke up" with scar dropping him into the boatem hole was the best scar and grian moment ever

i love how naturally hilarious grian and scar are

I love how he falls asleep! Its so cute!!

OMG, this was so FUNNY!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You not only showed Grian's Minecraft character (which is something a lot of other artists have done) but you also gave us a glimpse into the live Grian while he's performing his pranks. That's a new angle for me and I LOVED 💖 💖 it!! This is one of the best 👍👍 of the clips of the AFK pranks ever, keep up the good work!! 😁👍☺️

I love the differentiation in design between Grians. I also love all the little individual sight gags you slip in, like the bit about 'not wearin' any pants'. This is so much fun.

I just want to say that i love the way that the elytra blur and then disappear because they're not flying. Just a tiny detail that really stood out to me!

I love this! Amazing animating as always

At least he's worth more than 2 diamonds!

YOO This animatic is AMAZING! Great job!

YOU MADE SCAR IS SO DAPPER! I WANT ALL OF THIS!

I LOVE the way you draw the wings! And how they flicker out when not in use😍🤩

Gen went from protecting her friend to slavery

The Grian and Scar bit is so adorable!

i adore this so muuuuchhhh thank you for your awesome and hilarious animatics!!!

0:20 man just face planted into the floor

Dude backtracking on this animatics so fun,, Downside however is that I’m grinning so hard my face hurts ehe

I know (34•Pi)^6 people said this already but the portrayal of grian IRL is such a unique take and i love it

The cuts to IRL Grian are amazing but I also really love how you interpreted the chat and tablist as a phone-esque communicator with the hermit's personal flair like you did with the elytras

AAAA the expressiveness fo the movements dude, there are like maybe 2 static poses in this entire animation. and i tis is an animation about being afk. How. Also the irl Grian was a nice touch, you don't see that a lot in animations.

Your art style is to die for!! It's so charming

Omg this is amazing, also seeing Grian behind his computer has an fantastic effect!

Impulse buying grian tells us a lot about his real life buying habits.

Scar is so goofy, I love their interactions :D I really like your character design of him

2:53 i love the expressions

You're so good at animating different kinds of body language and quirks for each hermit, it's so awesome!

The way this was drawn and portrayed is more perfect than I could ever imagine! I loved every second of the visuals. Amazing work :)

Alright another awesome animation; I guess in Grian’s case this is, “chef’s kiss.” Also I like how you animated what Grian’s reaction must’ve been outside of the game.

OMG TOP TEN GRIAN MOMENTS RIGHT HERE But seriously, this was absolutely beautiful. The way you drew going AFK was super cool and actually the first time I've seen it done like that (except that one limited life episode, which EVERYONE was doing, and I saw the "asleep" concept used ONCE)! Plus the way you use the phone to express tab in this one and the chat in cheapslate (which is another fav of mine) XD.

This was so delightful - getting to see your wonderfully expressive art over one of my favorite bits of HC is just a treat!

I really like how you edited the audio clips so it’s less awkwardly silent

I think my favorite part is still Grian thinking Gem was protecting him... And then she just sells him.

Yesss a new video :D God I love the shift between in game Grian and real life Grian so much

“Scar, what are you doing?” Grian said calmly

Everything with scar was perfect

I rewound scars reaction to Grian responding, quite a few times....it's a perfect moment ☺️

Love that Scar was like “Your supposed to be asleep mister!”

"Me.. mean you heard my cringe singing?" "I heard all of it." ... "oh no" XD

this is SUCH a delight thank u ^_^

I like that he just has a phone

I thought the afk prank couldn't get any better... i was wrong this is amazing

I've got to the point when just seeing that you have a new video coming out genuinely makes me smile. You made my day! It is so cool and detailed!!

Always love when friends are in different time zones, I have a friend who's like, 6 hours ahead of me and there have been a few times when I've been like; "isn't it 3am for you?! Go to sleep!"

I really need an Animatic of Scar and Grian blowing up the tunnel digger from Doc.

Yess im so glad you made this moment into an animatic, it turned out great! Season 8 sure was mad

there’s a pattern in this… every👏🏻time👏🏻grian👏🏻goes👏🏻A👏🏻F👏🏻K👏🏻 SCAR BABY TALKS HIM!! (and i love it lmao) (also the fact that the first thing scar is concerned about is why grian’s up so late that’s so wholesome omg ❤)

I LOVE THE IRL ASPECTS

I love the little cutaways from afk Grian and irl!Grian commentating on the chaos

I don't like videos very often. So be proud you got me to do like this one ;)

this is the best thing ive watched all day

Ah!! I finally got the chance to watch this! I adore how expressive everything you do is, and the audio editing in this makes it even better. Having the irl Grian too oh my word, I loved that so much. Scar’s defeated look at the end, so amazing
