Nine years ago when this was uploaded I was 11…those years in school were the roughest of my life and these characters, Viria's art, and this song made me feel like I was among friends, like I had a real home. This series will ALWAYS be the absolute world to me, and will ALWAYS feel like home. I have so much love for this world and this fandom. 🧡

The first fandom that I was really into and the first that introduced me to all kind of fandom stuff. Was around the time that these came out that I had been in the fandom for a while. Surely some of the best time of my life that I'll remember with tears of joy for the rest of my life whenever I listen to these ;)

  • @mildpanic182
    @mildpanic182 5 лет назад +18

    So, I listen to music when I’m reading. This means whenever i start a book, end a book, or something impacting happens in a book, a song is playing. Always. This now means that whenever I’m listening to a song, I might get flashbacks to what happened in the book or just that specific scene. Now this is the issue. My favorite character dies; I CANT LISTEN TO THAT AMAZING SONG UNLESS I WANNA CRY MY EYE OUT! Plus, even if something dramatic isn’t happening, sometimes the song starts as I’m reading dialogue. I now believe that Nico is singing 10% of my songs as something regarding him happened when I first read them. Same can be said for many other characters from other book series.
    Help.

    I remember watching this when I was 13. I am now 19. From the moment it started till the end - Jesus christ, instant serotonin, chills and I cried. I love youtube.

    I had a Disney+ ad before this video. Coincidence? I think not.

    I saw this edit when I was like in 4th grade but now it’s been 5 years and a few months and things have changed so much. I changed. The world changed. People changed.
