THIS REALLY SOUNDS COOL!! Thanks so much Amalee for inviting me into the project! ^v^ It was amazing to see my art in this way!

[@kamiiii690]

the moment i saw the art i knew you drew it, love your art

[@kokoro_gospel]

CECILE!!! I had a feeling that was your art style here! You definitely captured Monarch's sadistic side in this video and it shows! It's always a treat to see your artwork in action! 💕

AmaLee: “If you’re scared of my bark, you’ll be scared of my bite.” Monarch trying to be heard during a game of Among Us: “BARK BARK WOOF WOOF ME!!!!” That’s some high level foreshadowing right there, take notes class.

[@AGoldenBrick]

waiiiiiiit.... is that the actual inspiration for this song? LOL 🤣🤣🤣

[@thedraftingax5963]

@@AGoldenBrick it could be XD

[@xadethewanderer8965]

@Golden Brick maybe. We've seen AmaLee's/Monarch's level of foreshadowing with the lore of her model represented by her self-inclusion in the animes she covers, so this doesn't seem that far off for her foreshadowing expertise

[@bible91]

Search for theCecile... She was the one.

[@thedraftingax5963]

Agreed same

[@angeldutchess2996]

Seriously though, every video's art looks like it was drawn by a professional fantasy webtoon artist. Its great...Now I wanna see a webtoon of the monarch.

[@benjaminlaptthorn3697]

I agree, I had the thought of Monarch summoning back her ‘pieces’ and another entity like her (say NateWantsToBattle because of Strike Back) appearing to all of her friends throughout the multiverse to save their versions from being assimilated and lost forever to Monarch

[@Kalishua_Vtuber]

The artist is called TheCecile, you should definitly check

[@LemurG]

Wow the art for this is amazing, the gluttony it conveys really helps show how the Monarch has gone done the path of evil (God I sound like I'm back in high school english class lol)

[@yesthatmousyiris4887]

Ikr if I call correctly gluttony is considered one of the seven deadly sins. It's suits the song.

[@bldrun1504]

AmaLee music is legit my favorite music to listen to while reading villainess/badass female lead themed Korean manga (especially reincarnated/time travel related ones).

[@PJammaGod]

Beware the Villainess. This is Melissa's theme.

[@yugoandcalirobbedmyheart292]

You mean manhwa mate

[@johnnyd.1004]

Ok, Amalee and Cecile both killed it, but we need to call more attention to that instrumental. That beat goes way harder than it has any right to!

[@ravendarkcloud]

I don't normally listen to music like this, but damn, this one is good. It has a vampiric air to it and leaves me remembering Lestat's line "I'm going to give you the choice....... I.......... never had."

[@Aschentei]

please drink my light mommy yassss also, the Monarch alter outfit is fucking GORGEOUS, the art is sooo well done

[@darkone.....2699]

Thank you

[@willyvermillion6482]

Thnx. friend

[@wildtama]

I love how this falls in the same vein as From the Embers especially when she sings about not ruling in the light

[@kurapikakurta1997]

And I thought she couldn’t get any better since Villain Vibes. This is probably my favourite song of hers so far.

[@undefinederror40404]

Personally I think this is made so much cooler by the fact that butterflies have been found drinking from decaying corpses. They're known to do that, in fact their only way to feed is by drinking (usually nectar or fruit juice but... apparently they'll give us a taste when given the chance).

[@ZuFriX]

The art is amazing The singer is amazing The song is amazing This is just absolutely Amazing!

[@anesidora3084]

Absolute banger. Going to my playlist right away. Also compliments to the artists too.

[@AndreB23]

Such a badass and intimidating theme. The beat in particular is ridiculously catchy and beastly. Extremely awesome MV.

[@aili_not_ally]

Monarch knows she can get whatever she wants with a snap of her fingers - and if she doesn’t she should

[@OhtisReynisiel]

Amalee's singing & Cecile's amazing art at that???! Two of my fav artists at the same time!!! This is absolutely amazing Amalee!! I immediately recognized Cecile's artstyle & was beyond Delighted to see such a gorgeous art while hearing such a beautiful singing!!

[@calvinbutler2833]

This is my favorite song in the album, and the art from this video is drop-dead gorgeous. The red wine juxtaposed wth the blood-like liquid light is perfect. The light-drinking Monarch looks completely unhinged, fitting considering this is the second-to-last chapter of her rise to villainy.

[@bcfb21]

Monarch could literally be the design of the tsaritsa in genshin impact and I would be perfectly happy.

[@rakle2583]

Omg yes

Did someone hurt you? Villain Vibes was cool, From the Embers sounds like the type of song someone would listen too on a rainy day after a break up, Drink your Light gives me the impression someone hurt you.

I forget you do this sometimes. I'm used to the usual anime openings. I still remember the Hero Too and The Day live stream from like 2 years ago.

[@daltonsturgeon4024]

You know what? I'm just gonna say it. If Monarch/AmaLee ever became a vampire, this would be her theme song, no questions asked! Like, damn! Oh my God, it's crazy how Monarch makes you want to walk on the dark side, isn't it?
