So much was so undervidded and good in this. You were obviously so deliberate with every single lyric match, like you always are, and I am such a sucker for seeing things vidded in a unique way. My favorite part is probably "No I won't, I won't pretend to know what you've been through" about what Alex's dad did to Michael, because that's such an INTERESTING and thought provoking choice, and surprisingly powerful for me. Usually that's portrayed as a "I know exactly what you've been through" kind of thing between them, I mean Alex was LITERALLY THERE, and yet... it worked weirdly well. Because Alex doesn't actually know how it affected Michael, not fully, not all the internal emotions and thoughts in the meantime, not the stuff Michael revealed to Max about his feelings on it, you know? Plus it was Michael who was seemingly permanently disabled from it for a full decade, until magic healing... not Alex who got a physical injury. And Alex does talk about it as a thing done "to Michael" rather than "to us", he never oversteps in that kind of way... maybe he distances himself from it too much tbh lol. And Alex is such a kind of guy wouldn't assume to "Get it" fully, he wants to respect that the trauma for Michael is Michael's own and not fully a shared thing between them. Anyway... that's my philosophizing on the show for the day lol. The "fight of our lives" part was so well done and the part of the song I don't really know because I think the collab I was in cut out that part of the song, so I kept hearing a shortened version of this song over and over and never really learned what the full actual song was. The "God I loved you for it" about when they were young, Alex believing people was good, I was just thinking on my own as I rewatched the flashback scene that THAT was the one moment we saw of them 17 where Alex is shown to believe people are good, and Michael loving him for it. That's IT and it's perfect. ;) "I am your future; I am your past"... damn. I love it SO much. "Silence the voices that haunt you inside" wasn't just PERFECTLY matched with that voiceover and scene from when they were 17 that would've been plenty to be impressive but you visually did SO much with the s4 stuff to capture so much extra emotion about that line, just... WOW. "I'm sorta freaked out" for the lyric: "Just say you're hurt" was so creative and unique. ;) 3:05 to 3:07 the way you timed Michael's movement and body language and smile with the song there was such a part of why you're one of the most talented vidders ever. You're just SO good at that kind of internal movement and really feeling the song stuff. Damn this song gets SO intense and it's hard to even take in on its own, let alone paired with such POWERFUL stuff this ship, just WOW. "Nobody knows you / the way that I know you" from 3:16 to 3:25 with those two intense comebacks of Alex's, him KNOWING Michael is lying about not loving him, him KNOWING Michael can decide and change who he is... and the repeated next time the lyric comes up back to back too that's just as intense and Alex is SO sure that Michael is wrong about their ability to survive and SO reassuring and "demanding" about "Do not talk about my fiancé like that". So amazing. "We'll fight!!" with how you match with audio too from the scenes such actual FIGHT scenes where they fight the external forces in the show and SHOUT and all of it. What is there to say. It's just. SO PERFECTLY well done. And to parallel the wedding with THAT is just... next level creative. "Look in my eyes I will never desert you" at the end, damn those are powerful ways to match it. You made the "My husband, my soulmate" oh and "my home" too mashup of voiceovers sound so good most people wouldn't realize what you'd even done to combine three separate ones. Such a great ending. And Alex staring at Michael while playing that song he wrote for him ABOUT fighting and defeating the things in their way like his dad as an ending. Can I just say... My FEELS. You really got me in them with this one.

Wow thank you so much! Where to begin:D I got the impression they didn't really talk about what happened with his dad and that also explains how they drifted apart originally. It built into this huge thing between them, and Alex gets that it's a thing done to Michael, maybe better after the ten year gap given his own injury. But yeah there is quite the distance between Alex and Michael's injury. And Michael gets agitated when Alex points out that it's healed in 2x01 (kinda like, oh look, this problem is solved). Michael wants to make it clear he didn't want it healed. I really appreciate your thoughtful comment, and with how busy you've been. I gotta say I think you have that same way of feeling the songs you vid, like you pointed out with the part about 3:05-3:07.

@@Supsi85 aw thanks with that last comment, i guess I'm striving for it in my vidding but I feel like you just have such a knack for it. :) And yeah i do think you're so right. Honestly, the show never fully explored how traumatic it would be for Michael and kinda only hinted at it a little here or there, in large part because mostly that's Alex's story and trauma, his father. And sadly Michael had so many other traumas both before why foster care and his experience being an alien in general and immediately after especially. I mostly got the impression that the thing they weren't talking enough about was really all the secrets Michael needed to keep, especially covering up the murder, and that was the main thing causing distance between them at the end of high school. But you're right too. This was huge and something they didn't discuss, it was maybe too hard for both of them to in different ways. And yeah Michael never wanted the injury healed physically because... He says because he wanted the reminder but also probably be wanted other people to see the physical manifestation of his psychological wound. Which is very common for people to kinda be grateful for a scar to prove it really was that bad.

@@VioletEmerald Right, the murder cover-up is another huge thing. But yeah, I love how Alex's whole process is seen on the show. In the flashback he says "since my dad found us...that night", so unspecific, and he calls him "dad" then but "father" in the present day. And then towards the end of season 1 he's finally processing the whole incident, and in season 2 he decides it's time to move past it but Michael is not there yet.

@@Supsi85 ooo the switch from dad to father. I didn't notice it evolve very specifically with time. Love it SO much. ;) yeah as I rewatched more these past few days i think there's a lot more about how that incident really caused the distance between them than i realized. Many more scenes about how it all affected Michael. Like you said Michael can't move past it till the VERY end of season 2. 2 whole seasons.
