The world is a messed up place. Truly. You never know what someone else is going through. You just judge. Youre quick to judge. You think it will never cause any harm huh? It does. Especially when you say stuff over, and over, again. You think that the world revolves around you, and that youre better than everyone else. Well youre not. We're all equal. If you cant accept that, have a rough life. Idc. Jist please never judge someone before u get to know them.

I hate this. People are so much more than their appearances! This is something that has personally affected me to the point of spiralling depression. There are so, so many people who are fantastic, wonderful, ethical people who are not conventionally good looking, or are fat, or have physical differences. It's so so gross to assume that someone is mean or evil or abusive off of looks alone. Do better. Let's just not judge people based on looks.

it's extremely frustrating how many people can't talk about incels or terfs or zionists or neo nazi's or any particular group of people with horrifying beliefs without insisting every one of these people are also fat and balding and ugly due to their evilness and vice versa, when like no a good chunk of mra's and terfs and zionists are straight up supermodels, your political beliefs just can't be "the people i agree with all are hot ladies and giga chads" and "all the people i disagree with the are ugly women and fat neckbeards" cause that's not how that's works, it's not how it ever worked and i am extremely tired of it.

Excuse me they did WHAT

They banned LOTR in Texas

They banned one of the least sexual, violent books ever. They are banning Aristotle and Dante in some states. THEY ARE BANNING THE HATE U GIVE. THEY ARE BANNING ANYTHING THAT EVEN REMOTELY COVERS FACIST, RACIAL, SEXUAL, AND QUEER THEMES!!

FUCK BOOK BANS AND FUCK THOSE THAT AIDED THEM!!!

I don't wanna lose you I don't wanna hold back

Link Click Live Action "HOLD BACK NO MORE" MV

aka: if LCLA had an anime-style OP

director rambles below cut b/c this took so many hours:

I love this song so fucking much

This was much harder than my previous two MVs, because those songs (a) had a clear narrative and (b) only required clips from about four different episodes. On the other hand, for this one I really had to think about what kind of narrative I wanted to convey, and how I could incorporate clips from every story arc. Wish my editor tracked how many hours I spent on this...

I know that flashing through the episode title cards is not very anime-OP-typical, but I thought it was a cool effect, and I'd separately been wanting to study and think about the episode titles for a while. I love how they worked Stray Birds into this whole thing.

AFAIK they didn't release a "TV size" version of the OP, so I just fade out with the full version. I actually half-assed an edit that used the "proper" ending of the full version and it surprisingly didn't sound too shabby, but in the end it felt like the energy it'd built up to was too high for use here.

Although I wasn't too impressed when it initially dropped before the show's release, I think the main trailer is actually quite good in terms of what clips they used (it's well-spread out across the whole series) and how they edited them together (visual and thematic connections). But I do think the BGM they used for it is a little weak, especially in the latter half, and I'm also not a fan of ending on the fireworks like that.

.

This is hopefully self-evident if you watch this with context, but I roughly organized this as follows:

intro: darkroom, first meetings, title cards (slow)

verse 1: LG backstory, as the lyrics suit his situation. in general the song seems to be from his POV, so he gets more focus here than CXS.

verse 2: various backstories, light-hearted. focused more on visual flow than lyric matching, but it thematically relates to the "tens of thousands" of faces CXS can wear through his dives (and so this section starts off with the shot of CXS in one such dive)

pre-chorus: "a demon in my view"—something lurks in the darkness behind you... and then "to the sun" is a very specific lyric match <3

chorus: every refrain of "i don't wanna lose you, i don't wanna hold back" is matched to a shot of shiguang; the rest are all shots from their missions. semi-chronological.

post-chorus: we do the title card thing again in double-time, which perfectly allows us to get all 24. then, series of quick shots that all relate to the central case, before ending on iconic shot of our trio. let me say it is such a pain to do quick shots but it's so satisfying haha

.

Among many things that I'm bummed I couldn't fit in are the festival mask shots from the final arc. I would've loved an evolving OP where for the final two episodes, instead of the obscured shot of mask man, we get the reveal shot heh

I'm glad to finally make an edit that I can show people without risking massive spoilers :D if you watched this (and read all this nonsense), thank you!
