* TearJerker: After Grian becomes a Watcher, leaving the server in the process, there's a farewell segment in Pearl's episode featuring a montage of herself and Grian hanging out as he slowly fades out of each clip, complete with emotional piano music.

* NightmareFuel: The mysterious entity stalking Taurtis. It starts with him missing a portal jump and finding himself stranded in a version of the server with strange purple lighting and weird noises playing, with creepy whispering heard after he jumps through the portal. Later, he starts having nightmare sequences featuring a glitching, floating version of himself from that same place with ghost-white skin and hair and purple eyes that speaks in garbled speech. While the scenes with said entity appear to just be nightmares, one video description implies it's very real... and then Taurtis disappears from the server permanently.

** Individual Watchers are typically drawn to look like [[AngelicAbomination angels]], at times of the "Biblically accurate" variety similar to [[Literature/TheBible the Ophanim]]. As a collective, they are usually depicted as [[TheWallsHaveEyes hundreds or thousands of eyes floating in thin air]].

** The Watchers are usually associated with the colour purple because their portals to the next updates are purple in colour. The Listeners, in turn, are often associated with the colour yellow for the YellowPurpleContrast.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Whether the Watchers are JerkassGods, GodIsEvil, or run on BlueAndOrangeMorality depends on the perspective. Evo itself is ambivalent on the subject but generally runs with JerkassGods, Martyn's "Eyes and Ears" continuity of the Life series has them lean directly into GodIsEvil territory, and the fandom runs the whole gamut of the spectrum, depending on whether they are referring to themselves as Watchers/viewers (in which case BlueAndOrangeMorality is predominant) or whichever interpretation would be best for a story.

Added DiffLines:

** A recurring depiction of Grian in fan works is that he actively fled the Watchers (who are [[GodIsEvil depicted as evil]] in these interpretations) after his induction in Evo, then joined Hermitcraft for his own safety, often after being invited in by Mumbo. This is often done to reconcile the timeline between the two series from a multiversal perspective, and just as often for the angst factor.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXNQCYFeR7Y&t=746s In his 7th episode]], Grian explains that he knows his Beta-era mob farm isn't very "big" in the grand scheme of things, comparing the scale of his farm with the "crazy, crazy contraptions" on ''WebVideo/{{Hermitcraft}}''. This episode was released in October 2017. Less than a year later, Grian [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fi_k9Q_NVQ joins Hermitcraft Season 6.]] The [=YouTube=] comments of the episode are quick to lampshade this too.

It helps that Martyn's POV of Last Life [[CanonWelding canonizes the Watchers from Evo to his "Eyes and Ears" continuity of the Life series]], confirming that they are part of a SharedUniverse, which has led to fans of the Life series flocking to watch Evo to catch up on the OG Watcher lore.

** Grian [[NominatedAsAPrank nominates Taurtis for Mayor of Evo without him knowing]] in his 27th episode. He does the exact same thing with Mumbo in ''WebVideo/{{Hermitcraft}}'' Season 7 two years later.
%%** In [episode], ____ [something about a Hunger Games]. Years later, Grian created the ''WebVideo/LifeSMP'', which is quintessentially a regular semi-Hardcore survival server that turns into [[Deadly Game the Hunger Games]] as it goes on, and Martyn's POV of the series states that the Life series takes place in the same continuity as Evo.
* ItWasHisSled: Just about every single fan who came to Evo from the Life series is aware that Grian becomes a Watcher.
