LOONAverse: The eclipse of fiction & reality - A retrospective by Ruka (300 subscribers special!)🌙

[@aniolkaharmonia]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!! first of all, thank you for dispelling some of these downright (im sorry i dont wanna be mean, but) RIDICULOUS theories. Evil JinSoul, Murderous HyeJu, like come on now!!! i never thought that was a deer eye, anyways lol 😅 i remember getting annoyed watching loona theory videos cos it felt like people would watch it once and jump to a conclusion and not for a second actually think about it or take the time to make it make sense. Secondly, wholeheartedly agree with what you said about Jaden Jeong. it's ironic how so much of Loona's lore has themes of rejecting this toxic standard of perfection, yet a lot of Orbits seem to be very harsh on imperfection. Jaden was slightly inexperienced and probably over enthusiastic. Personally, i think you have to be really smart to even come up with such a complex, artistic story like Loona's lore, and that thing you said about the tunnelvision is just a regular flaw any human could have that i think he has! he just wanted to do too much too fast, and lacked the ability/funds/help to pull it off in a realistic way! had he had unlimited time & resources im sure we'd have a far more cohesive storyline, but as you said.. BLOCKBER- genuinely i think he learned a lot from his mistakes with Loona in the past & has corrected them through ARTMS & Loossemble, which is a beautiful thing to see! a person with deep passion, lots of energy, and dedication who has grown! which is reminiscent of Loona's themes & morals! I also hella agree orbits can def overthink stuff. like, for example, saying HyeJu is a shapeshifter cos of the wolf paws that lead to her podium in PTT. people, please learn to differentiate between what is meant to be literal and what is just artistic liberty/symbolism. like by that logic, Chuu hitting the penguin plushy is just Chuu smacking the absolute hell out of herself!! she's a shapeshifter too and she hit her plushie self too hard and thats why she's dead at the end!! see how ridiculous that sounds? i also get annoyed when people self project so much lgbt stuff onto the lore. like you can take the songs as comfort and def give them your own meaning, but if it's a legit theory video, then that's highly unlikely and just ends up making me click off cos i doubt their theory now. like Loona's songs are kept vague enough that you can take their music to find comfort in your own struggles, but the lore is not meant to be a literal reflection of those struggles. for example, taking comfort in HaSeul's "Let Me In" from a trans perspective makes sense, and something i think Loona would even encourage!! but if youre saying that's legitimate lore, girl no. this vid def inspired me to go back and see what i can piece together, myself! ♡ really enjoyed watching!!!

I thought I commented before!! Anyways, I wanted to say, Ruka you're really amazing and I know how hard you worked to get this all together. When I first read the script I was so happy, but now I am even happier seeing the video finally put together. You worded everything perfectly. I'm so glad to know you, my sweet orbit friend.

[@TheInsomniaCrow]

OMG I KNEW THE NAME RUKA RING A BELL!!! I read your fanfic from start to finish like 2 times if i don't count the re-reads in the meantime you updated another book part. It's really the best lore fanfic that I had ever read. I was already interested in the video but now im SAT

[@TheInsomniaCrow]

the 58:00 part is so meme material 😭😭 I can't beath. Woomana mention shot!

[@noidolnolifeinternational6179]

Oh my gosh, thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed my series!! 😃😃 -Ruka

[@aleuimay2309]

This is such a beautiful video, I was almost crying by the end. Thank you for making this, I realized how lucky we are to keep Loona OT12 and enjoy the story they keep unraveling. Its incredible to witness ❤

[@ProudOrbit217]

I was watching this on my TV last night, and I was so astounded and amazed at everything! I even teared up a bit being a long time Orbit (Since 2018, I was a bit late to the predebut wagon but nonetheless Here for it) I absolutely love this video, imma go check out your other videos, can’t wait for your new ones!🩷🩷🩷

[@hyeegoist]

this video is genuinely impressive for a small channel, the quality and the fact that it's over 2h long... congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻 (pd: what's your fanfic? I'd love to see more on that vivi theory lol)

[@noidolnolifeinternational6179]

Thank you for the congratulations! 😄 My LOONAverse fanfic series is on Wattpad and separated into three "books." Book 1 "Story of 12" is everything from predebut up to Hi High, Book 2 "Butterfly Effect" is Butterfly to Why Not, and the finale Book 3 "New Moon" is PTT and Flip That. I recommend starting with Book 1 since the whole storyline is interconnected (that's also where you'll see how I re-interpreted the theory of ViVi's origin for her becoming an android): www.wattpad.com/story/236797544-loona-story-of-12-loonaverse-series-book-1

[@hyeegoist]

@@noidolnolifeinternational6179 thank you so much!! I'll check it out 😊

[@idkidkidk170]

Sobbing watching this 😭

[@Jippohippo]

Thank you for calling out the Fandom on the Jayden hate 👏👏👏

[@marcoendojr5550]

This was so good to watch 🥰 thankyou

[@facundoperalta317]

Before I watch the video, I knew a channel called "No Idol No Life" had to be a Wota. Like, idk, I think the word "Idol" has more weight in jpop spaces than in kpop ones (Also, I'm exited cuz Koi Tsunjatta's album is going to release on my birthday)

[@infizer0]

This was such a good video ToT I actually watched this as part of analysis/theory research for a Loonaverse Guide website I'm currently working on, but this ended up having a far greater impact on me than I thought it would have going in. Absolutely beautiful retrospective, I'm so glad there are still so many fans out there who are still passionate about the lore even after everything

[@aniolkaharmonia]

hold on i am coming back, every time i watch a theory video the background songs make me stop to go actually listen 😅😅😅

[@SebaMortrivo]

im a old orbit, i was there when eclipse was released to the world, may i ask you, what do you think of concept correlation between groups now and the idea of memory modification in this renaissance of the lore.

[@noidolnolifeinternational6179]

It's definitely an interesting idea! While it's more likely that a lot of it is coincidental, I also could see the potential of the current companies noticing each other's work and trying to build from it. It could be a fascinating new take on the lore development if we start getting close to a proper OT12 reunion, but for now I think it's still a bit up in the air. As for the memory modification, mainly focusing in on Loossemble and ARTMS (Chuu and Yves' works feel more personal and don't seem to touch on any of the grander lore as of now), it's a neat concept but I also believe we need a bit more context through future releases. It'll be interesting to see how Modhaus and CTD respectively go about developing these new storylines and how those could potentially expand to the group's reunion. -Ruka
