KMI

Vanishing Time tells the story of young Su-Rin, who lives with her stepdad after her mom has died and moves to an island because of his work. She befriends Seung-Min and joins him and his two friends on a trip to the mountain. During a man-made 3.6 Earthquake, the children go missing and only Su-Rin is found. However, after several days, a man appears claiming to be her missing friend Seung-Min, despite being significantly older.

While this video above is not the official trailer, I honestly like it better than any trailers. Sometimes fanmade is better, yeah? And that’s coming from a blog that has its own fan-video YouTube channel, so you know my preference.

The movie itself is extremely sad. I found myself choked up during several points (I’m not one to cry) and I honestly wanted a different ending. However, I also think that the ending worked based on the framing.

The movie starts with Su-Rin being interviewed by a woman who will write a book on her story. She’s been called a liar, told she should die, and targeted all because she helped the man who kidnapped her friends escape. She says she wants to tell her story. no lies.

While watching the movie, it’s easy to forget that we are hearing things from Su-Rin’s story. We don’t know how reliable she is as a narrator. In fact, the story actually gives us reason to believe she’s an unreliable narrator. She’s framed as a pathological liar by the media within her story, and it’s clear she’s been through a lot. Due to the fantasy elements of the story, it gives the viewer reason to doubt the child while also wanting to believe her.

I left the story with two opinions for the reality:

1) Su-Rin told the truth about everything. The man really was her friend Seung-Min. They never compared the fingerprints, which would have proven the man’s story, and they never did find the bodies of the other two missing children. Only one body was recovered. Thus, the fate of two of the boys was never really confirmed outside Su-Rin’s story. I also am held at the reminder that this is a movie and we’re meant to suspend reasoning when watching one. You don’t always want to limit yourself to saying, “Well, that’s impossible.” Finally, I do want to point out that, after her interview ends, we are shown Su-Rin meeting up with an older man who resembles both forms of Seung-Min that she meets. That is outside the narrative Su-Rin provides, and, as such, easier to believe.

2) Su-Rin liked Seung-Min and also was the only survivor of the incident. We only find one body of the boys, giving reason to believe that it could have eaten away at her to the point where she would do anything to believe that Seung-Min was still alive, even if it was as an adult. We are given examples of the man being able to have just been a random pedophile who was obsessed with Su-Rin. Someone clearly had been in that house before, learning to carve soap. As such, he could have had the talent to carve the scene of Su-Rin from behind (which we are made to believe is her in the cave) even without actually seeing her. Maybe he was responsible for the kidnappings, or maybe he just took advantage of the fact that Su-Rin was in a fragile state and would be desperate to believe Seung-Min was alive. I believe that we are given reason to believe that, until the man appears, Su-Rin suffers from survivor’s guilt. After all, she’s being yelled at and blamed by adults because she was the only one found after the event since she isn’t able to help them find the others.

Overall, both options seem very reasonable. I, personally, like to believe option 1 because I am an optimist. However, I’d like to compare this “which is the truth” to the book “Life of Pi,” where we are given two choices to believe on the narrator’s journey. Did he really survive in a boat with a tiger...or were the animals the way his mind saw the people instead? Things like this, which force us to question the narrator’s reliability are great to enjoy. I believe they are best, though, when you have people who have watched or read them as well, so that you can compare notes and see different opinions on the story. As such, I’d like to ask you, my readers, to tell me what you think if you have seen the movie. If you have not, but intend to, please share your opinion after watching it! I am eager to learn more and also have more people to feel sad at the bittersweet ending with.

#5: Cactus by A.C.E

When I think “over the top” editing, I think A.C.E since most of their MVs usually look like the were just having fun with different editing styles. Callin’ especially has that over the top editing style where it looks like they just wanted to see what they could do with their editing software. However, with the sound of the song, it works well. It’s not the best, but it’s something that I will always think of when I think of over-the-top editing.

#4: Will You Be My Girlfriend? by M.O.N.T

The only reason this one didn’t rank higher was because it isn’t as over-the-top as the other three that ranked above it. It’s an upbeat song, like rank #3 and makes the editing work well with the theme of the song. However, it’s not quite as crazy. I love this music video and am a firm believer that the editing was very well done.

#3: Idol by BTS

Not many of BTS’ videos are really “over the top” with editing. However, Idol is. Which is great because, with the attention the group began to game, a lot of western fans, many of whom had never heard of BTS, began saying they expected the group to adhere to specific video styles or sounds and even to release music in English. However, BTS isn’t an American group. They’re a Korean one. So, BTS did a complete 180 and released this bright song that happened to go against everything people had told them not to do (like RM using filters + V wearing fake glasses). It was all them loving themselves, and it fit with the over the top editing that people hadn’t wanted to see in KPop videos.

#2: Breaking Down by Day6

Day6 goes one of two ways with their videos. Either they’re really tame in editing or they’re over the top. Granted, they have one or two that aren’t exactly tame per se, but they’re still not anywhere near as over the top as videos like Breaking Down. However, Day6 makes it work because of their sound. When deciding the best video for this list, I almost chose “days gone by” since the editing really fit the feel of the video, but decided Breaking Down was a better example.

#1: X-Pheomenon by Monsta X

Anyone who knows me knows I love Monsta X. I very seldom find a song of theirs that I don’t like. In the case of X-Phenomenon, it’s the exact sound I love when released by Monsta X, and I fully believe that the over the top editing works well with their style and sound. Very few groups can properly pull off the level of editing that was put into this video. However, Monsta X can really do anything they want, in my opinion, and make it work. That’s just how talented they are. Because they tend to have this rougher sound to them (for lack of a better word), editing styles featuring a lot of jumps, quick cuts, and even SFX are well suited to their videos.

Honorable Mention: Adore U by SEVENTEEN

#5: NF

Okay, show of hands, who has heard of NF? I gave him the #5 entry because I haven’t heard a lot of his music, but I really like what I have heard. His songs are real, talking about mental illness and struggles. While the video I link is “When I Grow Up,” it was “Real” that inspired me to make this list. "Real” is from 2016, and the sound of it brought memories of RM’s earlier work (particularly, “Joke,” especially with the aesthetic of the music video in the “abandoned” location).

What’s really amazing about NF’s songs is that they’re something real and relatable. Its not just “hey look at me! I get all the girls and I’m rich!” Instead, it’s him rapping about mental illness, triggering topics, etc. With that, I want to warn readers that look into his music that some videos and songs can contain triggering topics, so proceed with caution.

#4: BANG YONGGUK

I am a very casual Yongguk fan. I never really got into B.A.P, but I love the solo work he’s released since leaving the group (not to say it’s good he left, but just to say I only started listening to him after).

While he’s released a video since “Hikikomori" came out, I have to say that I still favor “Hikikomori.” It’s a song that’s very honest about his experiences and what hes been through. It takes a lot for people to be able to be open about things like mental health and what they experience, especially when your every move is being watched by the public. Korea also isn’t known for their excellent viewpoint of mental health and mental illnesses (as we can see with the tragic lost of SHINee’s Jonghyun and BIGBANG’s T.O.P’s attempted suicide). Idols don’t have a lot of freedom to open up, and it’s really only in these past few years that I’ve noticed Koreal idols being more open with their experiences.

I think it is great that Yongguk was open about his stories, as it is something extremely personal. I feel like this is something listeners can relate to much better than a song about getting girls.

#3: Agust D

When it comes to Agust D, I love the speed, the lyrics, everything. I can easily say I still have his songs on my playlist years after their release. The self-titled track “Agust D” is probably one of my top three in his mixtape. I still remember the day it came out. I was on another website, watching as people posted updates and reactions to the MV. They were mostly freaking out over him cussing and flipping off the camera. I loved it. I had always kinda been interested in Suga, he had this dark air around him that made me want to know more, and I didn’t know a lot of people that biased him. This video really made me even more interested and his mixtape really helped highlight his abilities to fans that maybe hadn’t had a chance to look into it.

I still remember jokes online when J-Hope’s mixtape got added to Superstar BTS and fans were doing their best to succeed. They said that the day they add any Agust D songs is the day our thumbs fall off.

I love it. And I always will.

#2: Jackson Wang

I’m not gonna lie, all of Jackson’s solo work has been either a hit or a miss for me. I like his music genuinely, or I kinda laugh at the lyrics. I like that he’s stepping into a different style, in a sense. Most fans know him for his role in GOT7 as a rapper (with amazing arms and a cute smile). Many fans also know he is from Hong Kong. So, when I heard he first released a solo, I expected it to be in Chinese (like how EXO’s Yixing’s solos are) or Korean. I was pleasantly surprised each time he released a song to find out they’re in English, even though I knew he speaks English. I feel like, of all the languages, I just didn’t expect it.

That’s why he’s number two. He didn’t do something expected. I feel like he’s found a style he likes and is sticking to it, and I am 100% positive that the songs will get better in time, just as GOT7′s music grew over time. Unlike the other rappers on the list, he isn’t releasing songs in his native language or the language he’s been rapping in whenever he’s on concert. He’s doing something different, and I’d be shocked if it’s not a bit of a challenge for him. That’s admirable, and we like admirable.

#1: J-Hope

Throw stuff at me virtually all you want for including two BTS members, but I can’t help myself.

I honestly couldn’t decide which JHope song to link for this one. I love all of his solo songs, though I am partial to “Hangsang,” “Airplane,” “Boy Meets Evil” (that dancing, am I right?), “Daydream,” and “Mama.” I actually did a project in college where I wrote about how the lyrics of “Mama” related to the story we had read. Granted, I bullshitted the entire essay since I did not actually read the story. I just wanted to write about a JHope song.

While I support all of BTS’ members, J-Hope was actually one of the last two members I learned to identify and came to love. It breaks my heart, looking back. He stole my heart while watching him perform “Mama” live when I saw BTS during their Wings tour. Seeing his energy and how much he was enjoying himself, especially with the fans going “Hey mama!” with him...it warmed my heart.

A lot of rappers on this list have a dark aesthetic, especially with their music videos. Hoseok really switches things up, as he almost always seems to have a contagious smile on his face. While RM and Agust D’s (Suga’s) music videos for their first mix tapes were dark and gritty, Hoseok kept his bright and cheerful. That’s why he’s #1: he’s done something I have yet to see another idol do.

HONORABLE MENTION: HyunA

I 100% was going to make HyunA #2 instead of Jackson (sorry, Jackson) but...as far as I’m aware, she hasn’t released anything yet since leaving CUBE (because CUBE sucks and we support HyunA’s right to date). It’s expected, of course, since it hasn’t been long and it takes time to produce music and make music videos and all that. I want to support her fully once she’s releasing music at the new company, and as such prevented myself from listing her.

Emotions

The third episode starts on a lighthearted note: the guys giving Khai a hard time because he never bothered to buy proper home things, like plates and cups. He spends all his money on useless stuff, which I think is something a lot of people can relate to. During the shopping scene, it stays lighthearted as you watch Third and Khai goofing off around the store. Between the opening and the intro, it’s really soft and makes me happy to watch. The great thing is that the happy tone continues, even as Two judges the matching mugs that Khai picked out. 

I do like that they changed tones before the first part was over. I also liked how it brought to the screen exactly what I knew would happen: Khai continues being Khai and brings a girl over. Khai’s a player, and having a roommate isn’t going to change that. Even though Khai did declare that he’d stop dating, we all knew that wasn’t going to be likely. Surely enough, he brings a girl home quickly, giving Third no warning that she’ll be joining them for dinner.

The emotions in this episode still do a good job of going back and forth. However, by part three it did feel a little heavy. Even the last part, while positive in nature, was still heavy. I’d like to see some humor in the next episode,

What I liked

It was so wholesome watching Third and Khai shopping. It gave a pure feeling. Also, the matching mugs. So wholesome. So happy. Two even compares the mugs to something a married couple would have!

Two teasing Third, encouraging his feelings for Khai, is always going to make him my favorite character. He’s a bit clueless, but he still is supportive and does his best. He’s teasing with Third, saying “you’re even a husband or wife” when Third’s wearing an apron and making Khai’s dinner. Two himself is really given a lot of character building in this episode, and it also shows part of why he likely chose to support Third’s one sided love. He’s been through that himself.

I think that this episode’s first part really brings attention to just how alone Third is. All of his friends are getting with girls, but he’s left alone with nothing to do while dealing with his one-sided love and pain.

I also liked the ending of this episode. I won’t say what choice Third makes, but I’m oddly satisfied with it. I didn’t think I would be okay with it, but I am. It gives a good enough reason, especially considering how long Third has held onto these feelings. The next episode’s preview gives hopes of better times ahead, but I have a feeling it will just be more pining.

Thoughts on Khai

It’s episode three and we’re really seeing better sides of Khai. He’s slowly becoming a character we can like. He takes Third shopping with him, saying Third should get a say since he’s living with Khai and the two have lots of fun in the store (Ikea?) together. However, he can be reckless with his words and actions. He tells Third that them shopping is “like a scene in 500 Days of Summer...It’s so romantic.” Of course, we as the viewers know how that affects Third, whom I hope we’re all really pitying at this point. He also insists on matching mugs, which conveniently perfectly represent him and Third in the their group. Third tries to dismiss it and suggest others, but Khai is clueless and gets them anyway.

Khai himself in this episode makes it hard to decide if I like him or not. When the mug breaks, a mug that had perfectly represented Third, he puts his focus on Fahsai and says “Third will handle this.” He doesn’t apologize for the mug, and instead goes straight to asking Third to leave for the night. He’s so shameless, even saying, “It might be a while. I’m Mr. Khai who can go all night.” I’ve never wanted to hit a main character more. Then, we he gets bored with Fahsai, he tells Third to deal with her because he’s already moved on to Migeul. He uses Third as a personal slave, telling him to make a good dinner so Migeul will come back often.

This episode really leaves the viewer feeling conflicted. He does things that make you hate him, but he also does things that make you love him. He’s like a yoyo. By the end, I’m given the impression that Khai knows his actions were hurting Third. I think he knows that it’s upsetting his friend. That’s why he makes an effort to make things easier. He may have even known Third was considering moving out. After all, Third has to put up with a lot of his shit.

New Characters

Obviously, we meet Fahsai in this episode. However, she’s a girl that Khai’s with, so it’s pretty easy to assume she’s not anyone of significance (sorry, Fahsai). We do get to see her being polite, and then later a total b****, though. She’s clearly possessive to the point of even trying to demand Third let him see her phone because she can’t get in touch with Khai.

We also meet Lynn, who is given this slow intro while Two stares at her. For those who like SOTUS, you may recognize her as May. We’re given more info on her than we were given on Pan. She’s a broadcasting major, she knew Two in high school, she can identify photos taken by Two just by looking, and it’s pretty much hinted at that she may be “the one who got away” with Two. Perhaps a love that he never got to chase. Two’s smile while they interact is wholesome, I really couldn’t help but squee a little.

Final thoughts

We’ve pretty much been given three ships to support, at this point. The main one is, of course, Third and Khai. Last episode gave us Pan and Bone (though they did not really progress in this episode, and Pan doesn’t even appear). Now, we’re being given Lynn and Two. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m a romantic at heart or if it’s because I just happen to really like Bone and Two, but I hope that we do get to see them both getting to be happy with their crushes. Or happy in general.

Overall Sound

I love the sound SF9 always delivers. It still feels a little retro, to my older KPop fan ears, but it still is unique and fun to listen. I’m always impressed with the vocals of SF9, which is why I’m always eager for a chance to review their music. I’ve never heard a song by them that wasn’t a bop, and I’m always quick to add their music to my iTunes main playlist for when I drive.

I will say, though, that if I heard this song, I might mistake it for a Monsta X song because of the sound. As such, I guess they don’t really count as unique, but it’s still a sound I like. After all, I love Monsta X, which is why I think I’m attracted to SF9′s sound. It’s similar to Monsta X’s.

MV

My favorite thing about the entire MV is the opening. I love the way the camera starts as if you’re below, but then slowly rises. I’m cheesy like that. The MV itself left me asking myself “What did I just watch?” though, and I wasn’t quite sure how I felt. I liked the use of the harnesses and the all-white outfits, but the outfits during the MV’s “story” looked kinda like a retro idea of what fashion in the future will be.

I’m not quite sure how I feel overall about the MV. I liked the music, I liked the hair, I liked the dancing, but overall the MV left me with more questions than it answered. I still don’t get the story.

Choreography

In order to properly see the choreography, I relied on this video. I have to say, the choreography overall left something to be desired. It didn’t have any “WOW!” moments. I feel like this may just be me holding them to a higher standard, though. I always love their vocals, so of course I expect greatness in other areas, too. I feel like, after seeing the choreography for “Enough,” I’m a little spoiled and hoped for good things this time around, too.

I’d listen to this song if I was...

Driving, no matter the season. I would probably set it up to play right after or right before a Monsta X song, as I like the two similar sounds with gorgeous vocals. I think that they’re suited best for before work music, though. Something to get me pumped. However, it could also work when grocery shopping or running other errands.

You might like this song if you like...

#5: Ava’s Demon

I was drawn to the art style for this webcomic. It’s absolutely gorgeous. I wasn’t that invested in the characters or storyline, honestly, as much as the artwork. I wish I’d kept reading it, as I remember eagerly waiting to see who the silhouetted characters were. I actually just checked the “cast” page and was shocked to find no one new has really been added since I stopped reading. It’s kinda a let down, haha.

I stopped reading this because one of the people I hung out with in school started bashing the creator for some drama I don’t recall when xey found out I read it. I was desperate for friends, so I stopped reading since I felt like reading it was something wrong.

If anyone reads Ava’s Demon, I’d love to know if the story has made any decent progress. Who knows? I might start reading it again.

#4: Monster Pop!

I will probably never pick this webcomic up again, I’ll be honest. I started reading it, it was great, and then I just stopped around the same time I stopped reading all my other webcomics.

However, I  followed Maya Kern on Facebook this year, and I love seeing her art. She has such a pretty style. It’s soft and gives me soft feelings.

I thought, back in the day, that the plot was cool. But now, all I can tell you is that it involves monsters and humans. The cast back when I read it wasn’t nearly as big as it is now, which is good. I think I started reading when it was relatively new, so I had to check back each week for updates. It was great.

I actually like the characters, and I feel like I’d be able to relate to a lot of them if I read it again. Maya definitely gets points for diversity, which is a must have for any webcomic featuring monsters. If your cast features creatures, but they all look the same or are relatively similar gender-wise, you’re probably failing. Maya not only has a great cast, but they’re of different body types. I love seeing her body-positive art on Facebook when I’m scrolling through my feed.

#3: Check, Please!

Okay, so a few months ago I was thinking about this webcomic. I remember thinking it was as adorable as webcomics came, really. I loved the art style and I loved the story (spoiler: it’s not straight).

Then, last month, I hung out with a friend and saw it had a published version. It took all my willpower to remind myself I was about to be unemployed and could not afford to splurge on a copy. One day, though, it will be mine.

Keep in mind, while the main story is about hockey players, you don’t actually have to understand anything about Hockey to enjoy it. I know nothing about sports in general, and I almost always refuse to sit through anything but Basketball. So, if I’m saying it’s good, believe me!

#2: Trying Human

This was, by far, one of my favorite webcomics ever. Back in the day, the background on my phone was actually a side ship in it (pretty sure I did not have an iPhone back then). I’ve kinda debated reading it again. It was really cute and I enjoyed it so much.

It’s a bit nerdy, in that it is a sci-fi webcomic. It also has a small following, in that I’ve never met anyone else who has ever read it. However, if you like to enjoy lesser known media, I highly recommend Trying Human. Tell your friends about it, too. It’s a good webcomic and I think I’d enjoy reading it again.

#1: Homestuck

Surprise, admin is absolute trash. I’m so sorry to my dear readers.

I started Homestuck in High School because of a recommendation an online friend gave me, but I didn’t finish it until a year or two ago. It got to the point where I had Pesterchum on my laptop, I made fan videos (I even did one to a SHINee song and one to a B1A4 song), I tried voice acting, I wrote fanfic (no, I won’t link it), I roleplayed, I followed artists, and I even managed to make some cool IRL friends because of it. I actually wore my Dirk Strider shirt and carried around an Orange Crush my senior year Halloween because we weren’t technically allowed to dress up. And, yes, I play Hiveswap (but I didn’t play the Troll game where you meet the trolls).

While the fandom gets a bad rep, Homestuck was something I used to make friends. It was something that seemed to grow with me. I also loved the representation among characters, the way they grew (or didn’t grow). It was a story that, while confusing, was something I could really enjoy myself with.

Plus, I’d never have found my all-time favorite artist (Ikimaru) if not for Homestuck. Even though they no longer do Homestuck fanart, I love their art and it’s now my dream to one day be able to commission them.

HONORABLE MENTION: High Class Homos by Momozerii

1) This webcomic can be read on instagram or on tapas. I don’t use Tapas to read webcomics, but I feel like I did in the past during my webcomic addiction? It’s hard to remember. I read it on Instagram and give all my love.

2) Lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and a fucking trans knight who I love. It’s amazing how they slip in the exposure about the knight being trans, as well. Oh, and the princess has a prosthetic leg! It’s such a DIVERSE webcomic.

3) Love triangle but not a toxic one (so far). It’s girl’s being fair and honest.

4) Who is the green haired jerk? I want to kick his ass.

Overall Sound

The song itself is exactly what I’d like from a song with this sort of meaning in it. I don’t want a “summer anthem” about breaking up, and I don’t want a sad ballad that’s just gonna make me fall asleep or drown in my self pity. When I go through a breakup, neither of those sounds truly reflect my initial feelings.

I’m not good at words when it comes to echoing the feelings of my heart, but I feel like this song actually reflects properly even the way my heart feels within my chest. If you don’t listen to the words and just listen to the music, it feels like my heart is being perfectly reflect, and that’s not easy for a breakup song to do for me.

MV

Normally I don’t like “obviously green-screen” MVs, They make me feel like not enough thought was put into editing, and that’s something I absolutely hate. However, somehow Jun makes this work. I think a lot of it is that they don’t really try to make it be like “he’s at that spot.” That is to say, for example, his hair doesn’t blow with the explosion. Additionally, it’s all in black and white, so it doesn’t feel like he’s out of place color-wise. Some videos that use green screen don’t work to make sure the idols look like they belong (yes, I’m thinking of a specific MV by one of my favorite artists, but no I won’t say which one).

I feel as though the dark theme works and makes it feel more together. I just wish that giant statue wasn’t naked, as it’s hard not to have attention drawn to the butt rather than to Jun, as the light shines on the butt and draws the eye to it rather than his dark figure. It’s a shame because it’s such a nice shot, but the naked statue draws the eye more than it should. 100% the only issue I have with the MV is the naked statue.

Lyric Meaning

The lyrics do well in showing the feeling post-breakup. I’d say the words reflect best after it’s just happened. “I admit that I’m scared to be lonely.” The idea that it roots from a fear of loneliness, I think that’s something a lot of people can relate to. So many people feel like they won’t be happy unless they’re in a relationship.

I feel like Jun’s lyrics somehow manage to be reflections of a person’s feelings right after a breakup, even going through the process of denial and rage, while still keeping a sad sound during the rap. It’s something that feels different, even if I’m not 100% sure if it’s something that hasn’t been done before. Somehow, Jun makes it feel like it hasn’t, and I think that alone is something admirable.

I’d listen to this song if...

I had a broken heart, of course.

What a lot of my readers aren’t aware of is that, from January until March of this year, I was forcing myself to be in a “relationship” that was more like a FWB with a guy I worked with (he wouldn’t actually agree to date me, and I later found out he has a lot of internalized transphobia). I felt like I could only be happy if I let him kiss me, even though he never treated me with respect. Even so, I was scared of being alone. Even though it’s been almost three months, I still have nightmares about it and feel like I might have been the bad guy, even though I ended things.

I feel like this song would have been perfect last March to help me feel a bit more validated. I was often feeling alone and like I could have things fall apart at any moment. A song like this really might have helped me a lot back then.

You might like this song if you like...

I’d say the best comparison sound-wise is Seo In Guk, especially his most recent songs (Bebe and Mint Chocolate). Jun’s music has a bit of an electronic sound to it, which makes it easy to listen to no matter what mood you’re in. Now, I think it should be noted that I seldom group anyone with Seo In Guk because he is someone I love very much. His music is always a favorite of mine, and I’ve recommended it during multiple Music Monday posts on Instagram. So I’m serious when I say Jun is talented.

Other than that, I’d say some of his music may attract fans of KARD. In terms of theme, Don’t Recall follows that “breakup” theme. Overall, though, some of KARD’s songs have that easy to listen to sound like Jun’s. That’s part of what makes me like it. It’s easy to listen to, no matter what I’m doing. I could read, write, or do the dishes while listening to it.

Final words

I know, it’s been a while since I had an upload. That’s because I got a new editing program and have been trying to master the basics. I may go back to making MMVs for a while to help me figure out basic tricks.

My “comeback video,” however, had to be SOTUS/SOTUS S related. That’s a given. So, I finally sat down and made one, using “Tear in My Heart” by Twenty One Pilots. The video itself is primarily in Kongpob’s POV, in case that wasn’t obvious when watching. I thought the song suited, a bit.

I hope to make more videos for you all to enjoy. I won’t say which manga I will be making MMV’s for, but I hope you’ll all look forward to it. And if anyone has any short, easy to access online manga they’d recommend, let me know. Emphasis on short, because I’ve decided to only sit down and FORCE myself to read one so I can surprise my sister with a video about it (it’s her favorite anime and she wants to read the manga for it. It’s easier to get manga stills than anime clips).
