"... sometimes our compass breaks, and our steady true north fades. We’ll be just fine."

Dear Anouk,

Happy early birthday! I know your birthday is only tomorrow, but somehow the universe planned the most time taking and important things on October 2nd. That's why I'm uploading this video tonight.

Together with some amazing editors, who are your friends and inspiration, I made this amazing collab.

You and I talked a few weeks ago, and you told me this was your all time favorite song at that moment. And from that moment, I knew I should do something with this song. And here it is!

Dear Anouk, I wish you a very happy birthday, with a lot of love, luck and fun. You're a great vidder, and even a greater person. Thanks for being my friend.

*takes a huge gulp of wine because I already know this video is gonna kill me and I need to drown the feels*
(and when I say wine I mean ice tea)

Annelot, we spoke a lot the last few weeks, but never, *ever*, did I expect you were planning to kill me one day before my birthday. I just got home and saw your tweet and my jaw basically dropped because I really didn't expect this! And I definitely did not expect this AMAZING, GORGEOUS, HEARTBREAKING, BEAUTIFUL collab on one of my favorite songs with my favorite fandoms and some of my favorite people on here! Seriously, thank you all so much for this amazing surprise!

Now onto the actual video (warning: I am gonna use a lot of caps lock):
I'm just gonna do this part by part because they are all so gorgeous and I need to properly express my feelings.
First of all, Ylva, that voiceover was so freaking flawless to start of this collab! AND THE SCENES! SO FREAKING PRETTY! PERFECT START OF A PERFECT COLLAB.
AND SENSE8! Maria, you're amazing! I love how you paralled that scene of Riley walking alone and her walking in Will's body (my god that sounds weird xD) and I love the blueski scene you used and the hernando&lito one AND I JUST LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PART OKAY???
AND OF COURSE YOU HAD TO GO AHEAD AND FOLLOW BLUESKI WITH FINN&RAE, ANNELOT. I DIDN'T NEED MY HEART ANYWAYS. That close up of Rae smiling gets to me everytime I watch it (I should probably mention by now that I am watching this collab on repeat while writing this) and makes my shipper heart flutter <3
OMFG THE KNIGHTS!! AND MERLIN AND ARTHUR!! "We'll be just fine." Vale, you sure know how to kill me. Those scenes matched with that line is too much for me to handle. And Arthur getting closer and closer to his destiny with the iconic scenes just made me AHGKJFJGLKHL.
DOCTOR WHO! HAPPY DOCTOR AND COMPANIONS! Teresa, your part made me so happy! Seeing all these characters so happy, travelling together, put a huge smile on my face! "To remind us where we've been" THIS LINE IS DW AF AND I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE SCENES YOU USED HERE. ALL THE NOSTALGIA YOU PUT THERE MADE ME SO HAPPY BUT ALSO KINDA BROKE MY HEART IN A GOOD WAY.
AND THE GOLDEN TRIO!! "You're my best friend"!! I THOUGHT MY SMILE COULDN'T GET ANY BIGGER BUT YOU JUST MANAGED THAT, MILUTIN. UGH YOUR PART IS SO BEAUTIFUL I WANNA CRY.
"And sometimes our compass breaks" <-- the moment where I could start feeling tears in my eyes. HOW DARE YOU BREAK MY HEART LIKE THAT, ANNELOT? CHLOE AND RAE AND FINN&RAE AND ARCHIE???? NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE
"Just make it a good one, eh? Cause it was, you know. It was the best." <-- EXACT MOMENT I BROKE DOWN CRYING. SERIOUSLY, I HAVE WATCHED THIS COLLAB SO MANY TIMES BY NOW AND I KEEP BREAKING DOWN AT THIS EXACT SAME MOMENT. THE DW FEELS COMBINED WITH YOUR EDITING ARE WAY TOO MUCH FOR ME.
AND OF COURSE THIS IS FOLLOWED BY ONE OF MARIA'S AMAZING PARTS WHICH MEANS THAT I AM JUST GONNA KEEP CRYING. I CAN'T HANDLE ALL THESE HUGS AND BLUESKI AND "I'm coming for you" AND NOMI&AMANITA AND MY SUNSHINE CAPHEUS AND HIS MOM. I CAN'T. I JUST CAN'T.
THAT TRANSITION FROM MARIA'S PART TO YLVA'S IS ALSO SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL. I JUST LOVE BELLAMY&OCTAVIA SO MUCH AND THAT HUG IS SO GORGEOUS AND I LOVE HOW PERFECT IT FITS WITH THE LYRICS AND I JUST LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT MOMENT, OKAY???? AND THAT CLARKE VOICEOVER ALWAYS GETS TO ME BUT THE WAY YOU COMBINED IT WITH THE SCENE WHERE SHE KILLED FINN AND WHERE SHE AND BELLAMY PULLED THE LEVER JUST MADE IT MORE PAINFUL AND YOU PRETTY MUCH COMPLETELY BROKE ME.
OMG MILUTIN, THAT PARALLEL! THAT WAS SO FREAKING PERFECT! "And half of your heart is yet to come home" I AM PRETTY SURE YOU COULD HEAR MY BROKEN HEART HEALING AGAIN JUST BECAUSE OF THE GOLDEN TRIO'S STUPID HAPPY FACES COMBINED WITH THESE LYRICS. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS PART.
AND OOPS, THERE GOES MARIA AGAIN, BREAKING MY HEART ALL OVER AGAIN. SERIOUSLY, WHO ALLOWED YOU TO VID SENSE8? LUCKILY YOU ENDED WITH SOME KALAGANG AND BLUESKI CAUSE OTHERWISE I WOULD BE A SOBBING MESS ALL OVER AGAIN. AND CAN I JUST SAY THAT THE LYRIC "I can't get you out of my mind" WAS SO FREAKING ON POINT WITH THAT BLUESKI SCENE????
VALE, ARE YOU OUT TO KILL ME HERE? HOW DARE YOU BOMBARD ME WITH ARWEN FEELS, FOLLOWED BY MY BBY MORDRED AND MORGANA? THAT IS SO NOT OKAY :'( AND UGH MY BBY MERLIN LOOKING SO HAPPY. ASHGLAJGFHF I LOVE YOU FOR THIS PART BUT I ALSO HATE YOU FOR BREAKING MY HEART ALL OVER AGAIN HERE.
OMFG, TERESA, THE CLARA&DANNY/PONDS/ROSE&DOCTOR I DON'T EVEN HAVE WORDS TO DESCRIBE JUST HOW BEAUTIFUL AND HEARTBREAKING THAT WAS. AND THAT PART WITH "We'll be just fine" WHILE THE DOCTOR HUGS AMY AND RORY JUST BEFORE THEY ARE TAKEN OUT OF HIS LIFE FOREVER. JUST LEAVE ME HERE TO DIE.
ANNELOT, YOUR PART HERE IS SO FREAKING ON POINT AND PERFECT AND AHSDGLKHGFHLGFD! YOU CHOSE THE PERFECT SCENES FOR THESE LYRICS AND I JUST KEEP REPLAYING THIS PART BECAUSE I LOVE IT SO FREAKING MUCH. CHLOE AND RAE AND FINN&RAE AND THAT FREAKING HUG WITH "I know that we will" AND ARCHIE SINGING THAT SONG. COULD THIS GET ANY MORE PERFECT? I THINK NOT.
AND BOOM, MORE HARRY POTTER FEELS. I LOVE HOW YOU USED THOSE BATTLE OF HOGWARTS SCENES WHERE THEY ARE ALL FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES, FOLLOWED BY "We'll be just fine" AND PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING GOOD IN THEIR LIVES AND HARRY'S PARENTS. I AM A SOBBING MESS HERE BUT IN A GOOD WAY.
NOW I KNOW FOR SURE THAT YOU ARE OUT TO KILL ME, VALE. WHY ELSE WOULD YOU START WITH THAT PARALLEL OF MERLIN IN 1X01 AND 5X13? AND FOLLOW THAT WITH THAT BEAUTIFUL MERLIN&ARTHUR SCENE AND VOICEOVER?? AND OF COURSE JUST WHEN I THINK MY FEELS COULDN'T GET ANY WORSE YOU USE THAT LAST GWEN SCENE AND EXCALIBUR BEING PULLED INTO THE LAKE AND MERLIN LOOKING AS ARTHUR FLOATS AWAY. I CRIED EVERY SINGLE TIME I WATCHED THIS ENDING BECAUSE THIS WHOLE COLLAB IS A ROLLERCOASTER OF FEELS FOR ME AND THIS ENDING IS PRETTY MUCH THE MOST HEARTBREAKING ONE YOU COULD MAKE AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH EVEN THOUGH I CAN'T HANDLE WATCHING IT.

I should probably say that I had to write a 1000 word essay this week and that this comment is longer than that essay, so congrats on giving me so many feels that I could basically hand this comment in as my second, larger essay xD
From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so, so much for this wonderful birthday gift! You guys are all amazing, and I wanna thank each one of my you for taking the time to make all these amazing parts and putting together what is quite possibly the most beautiful collab I have ever seen. I love you all so much, and I am forever grateful for this amazing birthday present! This video made my whole year <3 <3
