YOU’RE GONNA SIT THERE AND TELL HIM THAT HE’S WRONG?!
This video was made around July this year. Since the main animation hadn't been released yet, the materials used were a bit limited, but personally, it's one of the videos I'm pretty happy with.
To the Ever-Curious,
There is something about you, sweet lover, that I just can’t put my finger on. Like a mystery I’ve already read but that I can’t quite remember the ending to, you astonish me.
Observant and free-thinking—you radiate open-mindedness. But it’s also OK to not care for the things that other people seem to think are so important. You just need to develop the confidence necessary to know that you are not the only one to have these thoughts. And you’re not “crazy.”
As hard-working as they come, you could never be useless. Never helpless. Never incompetent. And although you can come across to others as tundra-esque, it is not your fault that they do not understand your aloofness.
I know that you struggle to relate to others—that, sometimes, emotions feel so foreign to you—but that does not mean that you don’t have just the biggest heart. And I see—beyond the skyline nestled in your irises—that you are trying. I would never discount the efforts you are putting in.
When afforded the opportunity for alone time, you take it. And I would never dream of withholding that from you. So you best believe that I know, with everything you have inside of you, that when you give up your alone time to spend it with me—that’s something very special. I cherish that—and you.
It is OK to ask for help, stubborn one. And it’s OK if you ask it of me. I will never see you as lesser because you do not understand or because you require the kind of assistance that we all do from time to time. I will never see you as incapable just because you have a question. And I could never write you off just because you didn’t quite “get it” the first go around.
Connect with me, lover. Let me feel the way you think—the way you process—and let me relish it.
I need you in the same ways that you need understanding,
r.h.
P.S. Don’t lose your spark. Don’t let people squash your curiosity. You are allowed to be curious. You are allowed to ask questions, and if people can’t accept that, then they’re not the right people for you.
Song: Five by Sleeping at Last
Song: Strangers Like Me by Phil Collins
Oh, feel free to call me 'Ara'! :)
I'm sorry for showing too many reactions at once. I hope this mention doesn't overwhelm you. I've been listening to your playlist one by one, and I'm deeply moved with each song… The songs you have chosen fit them perfectly. They contain a sense of loneliness but never become excessively melancholic, and each of them expresses emotions in their own lovely way. I can tell how you perceive Grunge very well. (Looking back now, I feel a bit embarrassed because the songs I selected tend to be overly sentimental.) Thanks to you, I'm discovering a lot of great songs!
If it's alright with you, may I choose one song from your playlist and create an AMV? After completing one AMV, I've been wanting to create another one and I'm currently in the process of selecting a song. Your playlist has been a great inspiration to me!
I saw @arayashikiii's Grunge playlist, and for a while I've been considering whether I should share mine or not. After some internal debate, I decided that it won't hurt if I share it. So, here it is! I decided to do it in the same manner Arayashiki did, uploading links to YouTube, since it seemed like the easiest way to go about it. I've also put together some sort of cover. I used to post a lot of character playlists in the past. Shaking the old days, huh?
Arcade Fire - Supersymmetry I know you're living in my mind It's not the same as being alive ---- It's been a while since I've been to see you I don't know where, but you're not with me Heard a voice, like an echo But it came from me
Editors - Bullets If something has to change, then it always does ---- If something has to give, then it always will You don't need this disease, not right now
Goo Goo Dolls - Name And now we're grown-up orphans That never knew their names We don't belong to no one, that's a shame You could hide beside me Maybe for a while And I won't tell no one your name And I won't tell 'em your name
Matthew and the Atlas - Mirrors (Acoustic Version) My mind folding in the mirror There's no way I'm seeing any clearer Can you taste, taste it on your tongue now It's all that I can do to get around ---- My time is getting shorter I see I'm changing in a photograph My mind folding in the mirror My mind, my time You're the quiet in the violence You're the stranger at the door I don't wanna let you down But I don't wanna do this any more
Micah P. Hinson - It's Been so Long It's been so long Since I've seen you home Open hands and teeth and hearts And dreams I never can compete And I dont' even know your name Unpronouceable Unsatisfactable mind I've seen so gray Tell me theres not a way for all these Stories are the same
Kings of Leon - Wait for Me Cut open my heart Right at the scar And loosen up Gonna do what I'm told Go where I'm told And loosen up Take a shot in the rain One for the pain And loosen up I tried all the way Wait for me, wait for me It's all better now, it's all better now Wait for me, wait for me ---- Going to soften the blow Soften the blow And give it up I saw the surprise The look in your eyes I gave it up Gonna be who I am Be who I am And give it up I tried all the way Wait for me, wait for me It's all better now, it's all better now Wait for me, wait for me
Sad Lovers & Giants - German Cars I'm in love with German cars Gliding past me on the Autobahn Stainless idols with silent hearts Never turning, as we drift apart Are you a lover or a friend? It's not easy to pretend That you won't leave me in the end It's not easy, the end
Oberhofer - All Through the Night (Cyndi Lauper cover) All through the night Stray cat is crying, so stray cat sings back All through the night They have forgotten what by day they lack Oh, under those white street lamps There is a little chance they may see We have no past, we won't reach back Keep with me forward all through the night And once we start the meter clicks And it goes running all through the night Until it ends, there is no end
I made this video about 5 years ago. There's no big purpose or meaning to the video, I just wanted to create a sense of speed.
Why is nobody giving a damn about this
The moment I take pride in my major😌
These days, I'm comparing the English translation of Another Monster with the Japanese original. It's pretty fun.
Lunge in Another Monster excites me in many ways. It's a lot of fun imagining his psychological side. Maybe in a few weeks I'll be posting a long analysis of Lunge.
