@@Mastattak yeah, I thought of that as soon as I sent the comment. And yes I'm pretty sure they left the hand out for narrative reasons. It also adds to the silly position he's in.

I did love Grave's line after the witch told them they'd suffer for 1000 years. "Wait, hold on a second. Did you say 1000 years? How does that even work? Some sort of time travel or something? I got about 20 years, max!"
God that part was so damn funny especially bc I had a hard time making out what tf was saying bc of graves being his loud dumbass self. It sounded like tf was being his swauve but also dumbass self as well
I love that you pointed out that its likely that Fortune managed to capture Twisted Fate the same way she planned to capture Graves. But the fact that he's far away from the door indicates to me that she anticipated him teleporting in. "Alright, Fate. Graves would rush through the front like an idiot, but Miss Fortune won't expect me to teleport in behind her! Aha-AAAAAAAHHH!!!"
I just need to point it out. I'm in love with the fact that they used Butcher's Bridge as background music. Cause it's just the single most bilgwater thing riot has ever given us.
This is one of my more favorite tracks and I loved that it was used in the background here. I'm not certain if some of the other shorts also utilized their established themes, but this one in particular stood out.
@@justsomedudete3320 I believe it was, but I believe it was also the login screen/champion theme for Captain Fortune, Cutthtroat/Cutpurse Graves & TF, and both versions of Gangplank during that event (in four variations; you can find all four in the login screens/champion themes playlist)
You can kinda tell that Tf is smarter than graves because he got caught in the further away rope trap, meaning that it took longer for him to get caught. He also took longer to stop pointing the gun at Mf, and was trying to reason with the sea witch, rather than bickering, like graves was doing.
I love that the last bit of pouty Miss Fortune is out of geniune friendliness toward the pair. Like yeah we arent gonna let you die. Youre too much fun to have around. I love that kind of dynamic where she uses them but also has a fondness for their antics
@@Imperial_Lion According to a couple of original writers for TF and Graves they were meant to be a couple, but higher ups at Riot didn't want that. They keep a bunch of nudge wink references in to tease the audience, so they dont want to flat out deny it.
27:58 Haven't got all the way through yet so forgive me if this comes up later, but Fate is just looking at Graves having avoided the trap by sheer dumb luck and he's got this little smile that's like "Oh that dumb idiot barely avoided that, god I love him" and I think that's just adorable Edit: It came up less than a minute later gods damn it
@@KingAm0 I'd like them to do series in the order of Freljord, Noxus vs Ionia/Demacia, and Shurima vs Icathia and or Targan. They could introduce them as a part of the same cinematic universe, but only have referential connections to each, like Noxus' being made of aware of Piltover's civil unrest or Demacia hearing about Noxus' plans to invade Ionia.
my headcanon is that both graves and miss fortune were missing shots on purpose because they enjoy their weekly/regular gunfights/exchanges. Sort of like a tom and jerry where theyll fight every episode just for the hell of it.
im not a lol fan but its funny to imagine tf or sarah just looking at their watch in the middle of a very intense gunfight, announcing they have brunch, and immediately there’s a ceasefire.
Honestly TF/Graves as lovers is better written than any other pairing in the game, they come across as genuinly loving eachother, unlike Xayah and Rakhan who feel so forced and overly romanticed.
@@thomaz3235 Graves is literally refered to as Twisted Fate's 'better half' I don't know how much more blatant you need it to be to accept it. They are more romantic with eachother than Xayah and Rakhan are.
Not mentioned is Miss Fortune’s design in this short is far superior. Like she is still gorgeous and this new look still evokes the look from league. But giving her freckles and dressing her up in something more realistic actually went a long way to make her even more good looking.
Some Tarot Cards I found (trying hard to avoid Jojo references)- 4:22 (first shot) : The Tower 3:54 , 1:02:26 (second shot) : The World. on one hand, setting up the world we're in, and on the other, the cliffs and sea forming a very round frame around a distant ship, echoing the card visuals. 6:50 , 8:35 (twisted fate) : The Hanged Man, of course 7:35 (miss fortune) : with the table present, and the red hair - the Magician (which is a fun flip, because ofc usually TF would be a magician!) 8:00 (graves) : he IS obviously the Fool, but the way he appears visually is more like the Hierophant, framed by the doorway 46:55 - 47:08 (when tf and graves corner mf) The Lovers, OBVIOUSLY, and it's also visually like the card 52:28 (sea witch) - High Priestess, not because of the shared role but because of the large globe that the card character has on her crown. 54:06 (quartermaster) - maybe the Star, in how he arrives spread-eagled/ in the shape of s starfish? 1:01:43 (Second to last shot) - the World again - alpha and omega - the final card in the major arcana, and leading on perfectly into the bookend -- 1:02:00 (final shot) - the Tower, the first and final shot
@@BluePhoenix_ she has flirty interactions with Vi, Quinn, and the Hired Gun. (Edit: and the Prowling Cutthroat) my favorite has to be "Vi? I should've brought flowers." "Haha. Try cupcakes"
I love the way that Graves looks at the trap that MF set, his sight, even from such a distance just tells everything "...was that supposed to catch me?" "...are you serious" "...that was pathetic"
Neither party is trying to kill each other on purpose story-wise: MF needs both TF and Graves alive to be able to hand them over to the Priestess in exchange for her quartermaster, while TF and Graves need MF alive to be able to turn her in for the bounty.
Every time you refer to them as husbands or boyfriends, I gain another five years of life. Great video, super interesting stuff. I loved the breakdown of the shuffling the deck moment, really put a lot of focus on something that was super satisfying to me.
I love the dynamic between these two. And When Burning Tides first dropped I lived for the chapters for those two. And I agree so much that they are just two very idiotic pirate husbands.
I was kinda hoping that you would mention TF covering his head after his failed attempt to get MF's gun at the beginning of the fight. It was a nice little detail for me since in his position that's the only thing he can do trying to protect himself. Also when he got his card and started teleportation camera did a funny thing, I believe it's called dolly zoom with some other effects, maybe to really sell the feeling of something odd, magical happening. But you already did a whole hour of analysis and it was great so thanks for that, I really love these videos
It's fairly feasible to say that graves isnt going for the kill since it's obvious that he shot the ground near the card when it would've been an easy shot on MF instead. Besides I think Bounties, if dead or alive, usually have an extra bonus for Alive
I quite like the dynamic between tf and graves, and miss fortune. You can almost see a bit of frenemy playing between them. I think that's why I don't have any problem with them firing at each other and missing every shot because it's fitting that they wouldn't want to kill each other, it's more just getting business done. It's this play between them I am quite fond of. It might just be the fact that miss fortune and tf have a similarity of tf and miss fortune having a similar 'second face' with tf having a gamblers face and miss fortune having a flirtatious face. It really works in this short and does alot to develop the characters, and it pays off when mf double crosses the evil hag lady thing.
I would love to have this look as a TF skin, no hat, no coat and tied back shorter hair. He looks so damn good like this. It could even just be a chroma or his default skin since it's basically an edit of that..
im amazed you haven't talked about the DIFFERENCE in eye rolls between TF and MF like in comparison you have talked about them separately, but together in the full scene it says so much about the characters and their wishes and purposes TF's is endearing and sweet while MF's is cold and annoyed it further establishes their relationships as characters
if riot ever gives you a break I would absolutely love to hear you go through tf and graves' lore and talk more about their excellent husband dynamic. they're such cool and hilarious characters and i am curious about your takes on them :) keep up the good work!
I think this animation is the most talked about cuz of the fact that it has the most personality from them all. Like the others were great, but here the interaction between the characters and how they bounce off each other is on another level :D Btw does someone has The Road to El Dorado vibes :D
Me: Oh boy, now that all the shorts are done, we can finally get to "What's the deal with Fiddlesticks" Riot: You fool. You absolute buffoon. We're not done. We're never done
I want to say they wanted to communicate something very specific with the gunfight sequence. Violence in bilgewater isn't a tool or a means like it is in Noxus. Here, violence is a language. Bilgewater is almost exclusively populated by crazy people, who say hello in gunfire. They trust untrustworthy people to be untrustworthy in their favor. Notice that neither character who wears a hat is wearing one. TF for obvious reasons, but he isn't wearing his coat either. This isn't a tense hostage situation, this is two friends having lunch, negotiating a deal, waiting for the third friend to arrive. The guns in use also communicate this absurd language of theirs. Miss fortune only uses one gun the entire scene, because she isn't trying to hurt anyone. She doesn't say anything directly to Graves because she's communicating in her gunfire that she isn't trying to kill anyone. Graves in turn communicates In a big ass shotgun, loud and inneloquent, and sometimes he shoots blanks to scare people. TF in turn when they gain the upper hand communicates the same thing to MF, we don't want to kill you but we stand to benefit.
The first scene, with mf sitting in the table, the gun on the table, the chair and the window behind... Imediately give me flashback to the art of the "FIRE TIDE" event, from years ago. Specifically the login screen of mf in the game launcher
@@TBSkyen I know you joke a lot about your videos being too damn long, but I honestly love these in depth breakdowns and if it takes you 1 hour or 2 hours to get through that I'm fine with it.
I actually can see how Graves wanted 70 - 30. Unlike TF he had some jailtime without income, while his partner was gambling away during that time making a fortune °v°
I like the implication from both the dead eyes and slack-jawed lipsyncing that the sea witch come to collect our gay couple is just a puppet for the strange sea creature on her head who is the one actually doing the talking.
"no shirimian cinematic bc targon is the only one confirmed" ok, i have more time to make animated gif of my persona going absolutely nuts and doing orangejustice to release as a reaction when shurima finally comes out
Thought on why the card clips at 41:00 Since the card dominates your focus as the scene starts, they have his fingers clip so that your eye can stay on the card; which is the focus of the scene. That was the eye doesn't focus on graves as he pics it up, then has to jump back to the card as the mind realizes we're still focused on the card not graves himself.
i think the thing about MF and Graves never hitting each other isn't necessarily because of the genre/medium. Sure, that's part of it; but I really think that neither WANT to hit the other. Of course they're rivals and probably want each other's bounties, but at the end of the day, they still owe each other from the whole GP episode. They don't want each other dead; and if there's a bounty they'll bring the others in alive, because they know that they'll escape somehow. It's a game to them, it's fun - it's a con all three of them are running, and it's DELIGHTFUL
I dont know if Riot did this on purpose, but Twisted Fate being able to be shortened into TF and making me think people are saying "the f*ck" for a few seconds too long, and Miss Fortune being able to be shortened to MF and me mistaking it for "mother f*ucker" and putting them in the same short......
also I love how twisted fate reacts to grave's overreacting he knows what she is up to in a way thats why he simply "throws" question away "well we share I am not gonna fight over it" and graves starts a fight despite of that and he is like "ARE YOU THAT DUMB WE ARE WORKING WE CAN DO THIS LATER" and after some time he insists so much he loses focus from miss fortune from annoyence and you can see that you too mentioned he is still pointing gun to her UNTIL he is too much annoyed making sure graves shut up is his priority by the way another thing with fortune: She can be flirty too... when she is honest she flirsts literlly like this so you can actually see how good liar she is because what makes you liar isnt "oh hey this guy is telling me this" no... what makes you good liar if your body language consistently doing same thing under same events despite saying lie or not she will do , say same things, literally. that makes you good liar . She is not acting, she is literally flirting with them BUT she doesnt want to flirt she lies so good she is doing it!
Also, if you noticed, when TF gets his card back from Graves, the shot is still going in and out, like the momentum of the rope from when MF kicked TF. Very cool but small detail
Oho! Future Skyen came from DS to help RuneterraSkyen. What a helpfull and selfless individual. He helps all the diffenrent skyens. What a great insite in the skyen multiverse.
i dunno if its been said yet- but i think the reason why they made graves kinda clip behind tf's card on the floor is to keep the card readable in the scene? like if graves' hand was in front of it, it'd be harder to see exactly what he was grabbing? idk, just a guess.
I agree with everything you pointed out about them not aiming correctly BUT graves doesn't actually want to hurt people if it's not necessary. The phrase in his bio literally says “We’re here for your gold, not your heads… so don’t nobody decide to be a hero.”.
That's how he tended to do it, but it would trigger buffering particularly when viewing the highest resolutions. With him using a local media player, it was more seamless since he didn't have to fight against UA-cams and completely reload sections of the video.
I would like to point out that the flames that burst out of the red card after Miss Fortune shuffles them appear in a spinning, circular pattern, which may or may not be a reference to how the red card works in the game.
Fun fact: TF is hanging EXACTLY like the tarot card for the hanged man
I saw that too. It's a nice trivia
Well, almost: the hanged man has his hands tied :P
But obviously the needed TF to be able to do something, so I still think it’s a really cool detail
and the lighthouse is the Tower!!

Some Tarot Cards I found (trying hard to avoid Jojo references)-
4:22 (first shot) : The Tower
3:54 , 1:02:26 (second shot) : The World. on one hand, setting up the world we're in, and on the other, the cliffs and sea forming a very round frame around a distant ship, echoing the card visuals.
6:50 , 8:35 (twisted fate) : The Hanged Man, of course
7:35 (miss fortune) : with the table present, and the red hair - the Magician (which is a fun flip, because ofc usually TF would be a magician!)
8:00 (graves) : he IS obviously the Fool, but the way he appears visually is more like the Hierophant, framed by the doorway
46:55 - 47:08 (when tf and graves corner mf) The Lovers, OBVIOUSLY, and it's also visually like the card
52:28 (sea witch) - High Priestess, not because of the shared role but because of the large globe that the card character has on her crown.
54:06 (quartermaster) - maybe the Star, in how he arrives spread-eagled/ in the shape of s starfish?
1:01:43 (Second to last shot) - the World again - alpha and omega - the final card in the major arcana, and leading on perfectly into the bookend --
1:02:00 (final shot) - the Tower, the first and final shot

I want to say they wanted to communicate something very specific with the gunfight sequence. Violence in bilgewater isn't a tool or a means like it is in Noxus. Here, violence is a language.
Bilgewater is almost exclusively populated by crazy people, who say hello in gunfire. They trust untrustworthy people to be untrustworthy in their favor. Notice that neither character who wears a hat is wearing one. TF for obvious reasons, but he isn't wearing his coat either. This isn't a tense hostage situation, this is two friends having lunch, negotiating a deal, waiting for the third friend to arrive.
The guns in use also communicate this absurd language of theirs. Miss fortune only uses one gun the entire scene, because she isn't trying to hurt anyone. She doesn't say anything directly to Graves because she's communicating in her gunfire that she isn't trying to kill anyone. Graves in turn communicates In a big ass shotgun, loud and inneloquent, and sometimes he shoots blanks to scare people. TF in turn when they gain the upper hand communicates the same thing to MF, we don't want to kill you but we stand to benefit.
Loved this short! It‘s so well composed and animated. I especially love when the card flys towards TF with what looks like a dolly zoom effect!
Make "Animating on Twos" a shirt on your merch store
Riot: Killing my dreams of an all-lady crew, but fulfilling my dreams of Captian Sea-Mom. That, plus TFXGraves, and I call it even. :P
I'm sad we actually didn't see the 2 other TF's cards, the red one was beautiful ! Also, I didn't know there was a special card for his ultimate
The first scene, with mf sitting in the table, the gun on the table, the chair and the window behind... Imediately give me flashback to the art of the "FIRE TIDE" event, from years ago. Specifically the login screen of mf in the game launcher
say what you will, but Bilgewater has the best theme song. Also side note you actually see Twisted fate's hat on the chair across from Miss Fortune.
I wonder which he grabbed first during his escape, the deck or the hat?
More like, T B Skyen has a hysterical fit over two dumb married pirates for an hour straight. Yes, please!
Oh my god, yes, I needed another TB Skyen 1 hour video 😍😍😍
Enjoy!
@@TBSkyen I know you joke a lot about your videos being too damn long, but I honestly love these in depth breakdowns and if it takes you 1 hour or 2 hours to get through that I'm fine with it.
I actually can see how Graves wanted 70 - 30. Unlike TF he had some jailtime without income, while his partner was gambling away during that time making a fortune °v°
Huge Road to El-Dorado vibes here. The best vibes
The tentacule thing is a one eyed octopus, it was mentioned on graves and tf latest story
Man spends an hour talking about adventures of dumb gay couple. And I love it
A neat little detail, the way TF hangs is very similar to the tarot card "Hanged man"
"Tobias and dear old Graves" my man
I like the implication from both the dead eyes and slack-jawed lipsyncing that the sea witch come to collect our gay couple is just a puppet for the strange sea creature on her head who is the one actually doing the talking.
"no shirimian cinematic bc targon is the only one confirmed" ok, i have more time to make animated gif of my persona going absolutely nuts and doing orangejustice to release as a reaction when shurima finally comes out
Thought on why the card clips at 41:00
Since the card dominates your focus as the scene starts, they have his fingers clip so that your eye can stay on the card; which is the focus of the scene. That was the eye doesn't focus on graves as he pics it up, then has to jump back to the card as the mind realizes we're still focused on the card not graves himself.
i think the thing about MF and Graves never hitting each other isn't necessarily because of the genre/medium.
Sure, that's part of it; but I really think that neither WANT to hit the other.
Of course they're rivals and probably want each other's bounties, but at the end of the day, they still owe each other from the whole GP episode. They don't want each other dead; and if there's a bounty they'll bring the others in alive, because they know that they'll escape somehow. It's a game to them, it's fun - it's a con all three of them are running, and it's DELIGHTFUL
they should make a Fated Abraham skin, cause TF in this animation looks like Abraham Lincoln XD
or President Fate
42:50 WE'VE BEEN FOUND OUT! EVERYONE SCATTER!
Hi skyen, i was waiting for your video seen yesterday, i love it. I saw all the others videos. Keep with the good work.
Hey, thanks!
Canon now
I dont know if Riot did this on purpose, but Twisted Fate being able to be shortened into TF and making me think people are saying "the f*ck" for a few seconds too long, and Miss Fortune being able to be shortened to MF and me mistaking it for "mother f*ucker" and putting them in the same short......
also I love how twisted fate reacts to grave's overreacting
he knows what she is up to in a way thats why he simply "throws" question away "well we share I am not gonna fight over it" and graves starts a fight despite of that and he is like "ARE YOU THAT DUMB WE ARE WORKING WE CAN DO THIS LATER" and after some time he insists so much he loses focus from miss fortune from annoyence
and you can see that you too mentioned he is still pointing gun to her UNTIL he is too much annoyed making sure graves shut up is his priority
by the way another thing with fortune: She can be flirty too... when she is honest she flirsts literlly like this so you can actually see how good liar she is
because what makes you liar isnt "oh hey this guy is telling me this"
no... what makes you good liar if your body language consistently doing same thing under same events despite saying lie or not
she will do , say same things, literally.
that makes you good liar . She is not acting, she is literally flirting with them BUT she doesnt want to flirt
she lies so good she is doing it!
Also, if you noticed, when TF gets his card back from Graves, the shot is still going in and out, like the momentum of the rope from when MF kicked TF. Very cool but small detail
If Riot recently confirmed Diana x Leona, I hope they confirm these two too!
Yessssss, gimme!
There is just BROTHERHOOD
@@junztermax4387 no
Great news!
@@ashesfromtheheavens3716 I know!!!!!!!! I feel so dang vindicated :D
That intro was soooooo priceles. Very Nice!
They are finally canon!!! :D
You can see TF's hat in the beginning when the camera pans out. It's over a chair on the lower left
I'm not even a minute in and I already LOVE IT!
She shuffles the two halves of the deck together, like TF and Graves
Love what u did with graves's entry TB
I will never look the same at animations again - thanks, really like your content :D
Oho! Future Skyen came from DS to help RuneterraSkyen. What a helpfull and selfless individual. He helps all the diffenrent skyens. What a great insite in the skyen multiverse.
oh man i just found you and i am just delighted by your wit and humor, i cant wait to watch the rest of your stuff
One of my favorite things in this short is that it example how smart MF is
I loved the little AMV/Edit you did at the beginning haha.
Sarah's hair looks so fucking good tho, am i the only one?
Sarah and TF both. Maybe they use the same product?
Once MF is cornered by TF and Graves, she goes from "fuck you" eyes to "fuck you" eyes.
i dunno if its been said yet- but i think the reason why they made graves kinda clip behind tf's card on the floor is to keep the card readable in the scene? like if graves' hand was in front of it, it'd be harder to see exactly what he was grabbing? idk, just a guess.
I agree with everything you pointed out about them not aiming correctly BUT graves doesn't actually want to hurt people if it's not necessary. The phrase in his bio literally says “We’re here for your gold, not your heads… so don’t nobody decide to be a hero.”.
You can step forwards and backwards on UA-cam using the greater than and less than arrows.
That's how he tended to do it, but it would trigger buffering particularly when viewing the highest resolutions. With him using a local media player, it was more seamless since he didn't have to fight against UA-cams and completely reload sections of the video.
Completely dying at the intro rn
I just want Shurima to be added so we can get more lore development or just another cinematic. Last major update was ages ago with Azir.
Truthfully if you don't love tf and graves together, you have no eyes or ears
I would like to point out that the flames that burst out of the red card after Miss Fortune shuffles them appear in a spinning, circular pattern, which may or may not be a reference to how the red card works in the game.
