I am really happy the vid did not feel to slow for you because that was one of my main worries about this (i made this one mostly in one take and suddenly i had vid over 5 minutes!).
Finding and then seeing the visual parallels was great fun (and as you read parallels are my gate way drug to shipping stuff)
And yes to the "quieter victories" thats definitly what i was going for (what i am going for in like all my fandoms)
thanks so much for the comment! i am happy to hear you liked it
