#epilepsy trigger warning

This is a Buffy/Angel video edit I made to Roxas' theme from Kingdom Hearts (composed by Yoko Shimomura). The lyrics were written by 1BlueRozez1 and then sung by BelovedStar18: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u80zavFDEOY

This was another video I started a long while ago, and then stopped, and then started again in thinking I'd gotten a lot more done in it than I initially had and that I might as well finish it. LOL

This video kicked my butt. Namely because for some reason, I decided to not cut out the intro and outro music like I usually would these days. And while it did pose a challenge--like what the heck do I put there? I decided to go with hugs, Buffy holding onto Angel's neck parallels (an idea I got from @liam-summers), and parallels in general--it was fun. And I think the video's better for it. Namely because the music is so beautiful, it would have been a crime to shorten it.

Two comic instances in this video are:

1. Via the Buffy Dark Horse comics' logic, Buffy really should have remembered the events of "I Will Remember You" in Buffy Season 9, so I used panels to make it look like that happened here to fit the lyrics.

2. And some of the comic panels later on in the video are when Buffy has shown up to help Angel in them a number of times.

Edit: There's also stuff from Buffy season 8 (that I really did not want to put), but it just seemed to fit: the glowing bit.

Stuff from Boom Studios is in here, as well (even though that's an AU. Shh), as it worked with that section of the video: Buffy being miffed at Angel there, but then giving him another chance... at least the latter would have happened (we know via a prophecy Angel got) if the comic hadn't been cancelled midway through. Ahh, well.
