Does this song make sense for this pairing? No. Did I use it because the "I'm in the water, nobody's son" section got stuck in my brain? Maybe.

[@amandapineapple1845]

This edit is so good! Agh! My heart 😳🥰 the starfish colors! The hugs! I love this show❤

[@madememoria]

When I realized the starfish colors, I momentarily lost it. And thank you!

[@vinuthayadav7897]

What does the starfish colours mean

[@madememoria]

@@vinuthayadav7897 It IS up to interpretation, but it can be argued that the starfish reference Edwin and Charles through their character color coding. Charles is red color coded with his wardrobe (especially his polo, which changes shades of red to black in the show due to his mood). While Edwin usually wears neutrals, he's more blue coded with his blue vest.

[@vinuthayadav7897]

@@madememoria Awwww 🥹 really, I never noticed it that's great

[@iyaverse_]

For old and new viewers, there is going to be binge/mass watching of the show on Friday to Sunday, this is the time to invite your friends who haven’t watched the show to watch it and a time for you to rewatch it. There’s more information about this and the show on my recent post. Please spread the word!!

[@totoboyman10]

[@shanleenkinnjaskey2419]

Hi, I just wanted to say that I'm a fanfic writer and your PERFECT editing of the frames between "You're in the wind/I'm in the water/Nobody's son/Nobody's Daughter inspired an entire extra fic in the fic series I'm working on rn. I have been unable to get this video out of my head for the last 24 hours and it honestly made me write another 5k today. So, thank you for contributing to my artistic brainrot!

[@madememoria]

Oh my god! Please, please send the link of the series or to it once you've posted (if you are comfortable, of course). That's lovely!

[@shanleenkinnjaskey2419]

@madememoria It looks like KZbin is eating up replies with links because it erased the reply I made about an hour ago, but I guess I can just repeat what I said before? Anyway, I just want to warn you that my fic series is a poly take on the show and if that's not your thing I totally get it, but if you're still interested in it (it's an AU where they go to the afterlife to try and save Niko in episode 8, ft. Slow burn Edwin/Charles), then just look on ao3 for the fic "deep within the catacomb (we will abide)" written by aletterinthenameofsanity. I've only posted four chapters and the update specifically inspired by your vid is going to be like update 12-ish, but I'm updating every couple of days so it should come along in the next couple of weeks.

[@madememoria]

@@shanleenkinnjaskey2419 Apologies for the late reply! This sounds really cool-I'm checking it out :) I'll add it to my bookmarks and be on the look out for upcoming updates too!

[@cassiesays]
