FINALLY!!

happy (late) birthday @Bellsilili ! 🖤✨ this was a labour of love - 4 minutes of nearly all new darklina manips? [laughs nervously] what the f!ck - NOT to mention the disaster that was trying to 1) render & upload this 2) "richocet" i? .... but it was worth it for you. i've been hoping to revisit this darklina anthem ever since we got real footage (lol) and while it probably would make sense to make it AFTER s2, who would i be if i didn't try to recreate an entire au series (tbh this nearly killed me to do again no joke).

lili, you are so incredibly talented, kind, inspiring, hilarious and a chaotic michelangelo imo. words can't express how much i treasure our friendship and to scream over unhinged fictional villains together. from our many breakdowns, "this is why we can't have nice things", to trying to k!ll each other with ideas and 5s vids, i wouldn't change a thing. you make this community something special. happy belated birthday pal. 💛

pss. awaiting death for when we get s2 - that panel from asocas has me on the FLOOR still

psss. can you believe i've had 1/4 of this done for MONTHS and yet i almost died making this? tbh checks out
