That was so hands-down, kickass amazing. I loved every second of it, starting with layering their "things will be different" over each other. I've never seen that done in another video, and it set the stage for the whole rest of the video, of the world-changing they are setting out to do. Also, the short interlude of commentary on Arthur's parents, and the different choices Arthur makes for himself was spot-on. Loved this so much! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so, so much! I'm a huge fan of parallels, and the "things will be different" moments always stood out to me. I just couldn't get the idea out of my mind of the two of them saying it in unison (with all of the weight of the very different contexts showing how far they've come). And I am beyond relieved that the section with Arthur's parents made sense. That's exactly what I was hoping to show.

Thank you so much for your kind comment!! It made my night. <3

Lovely vid as always, bb! This surely included almost every smile they ever shared! Very uplifting! ♥

[hmsharmony]

Aw, bb, thank you so much!! And heee, yes, it was heavy on the smiles, wasn't it? THANK GOD WE FINALLY GOT SMILES.

Awww Jen! I'm a horrible friend for taking so long to comment, but this is adorable, seriously! My favorite part is of course the two head-bobs, but all of it just reminds me why I love future pendragons so. Heeeeee they make me all flaily, and YOU. Your talent is growing it seems exponentially every time you make a vid. <3333

[hmsharmony]

Anjali!!! First of all, you're never a horrible friend. Ever. If you never commented you'd still be wonderful and lovely. That you commented at all means the world to me. SO HUSH.

Second, have I mentioned how much I adore you? That you pay attention to the more technical aspects kind of makes my heart explode, because very few people do. I always look forward to your comments for that reason (and about five thousand other reasons as well). I'm constantly looking for ways to improve, so it means a lot that you take the time to notice (and this is kind of referring to previous comments, but whatever, it needs to be said because I don't think I've expressed my gratitude for that yet).

HEAD NODS FTW. I seem incapable of separating the two symbolic "milady" moments. Every time I vid one my brain goes, "MUST. SHOW. THE PARALLEL." God save me if we get another.

Thank you for your wonderful thoughts, Anj! ♥

PMing you.

For a brief, horrifying moment I thought I had somehow offended you and that's why you were turning this into a private conversation. XD
