Okay, so I love this show and one of my bulletproof emotional kinks is found/chosen family, and you've crafted such a gorgeous tribute to that. But you've also, I think, made a powerful interpretive argument here, about melancholy and fear and the roommates's need for each other, and I'm not going to see the show the same again. This is wonderful.

This is such a great vid. It's gentle and lovely and completely captures why the show is turning out to be a million times better than anything I had thought it would be. :-D

Oh my heart. First off, this song! It kills me. It so perfectly captures what ties the four of them together (anyone with a broken heart, trying to find blue skies -- but it's hard! yes!!!), what makes them a team and a family... I feel like you've perfectly captured all the things that I love about the show -- the heartwarming way that they all come together to support each other, again and again. And the hats, the kimono, the napkin outfit in the beginning (like these are all symbols of their individual differences and that this is what makes them similar, with a shared experience, makes them a family), the chicken dance at the end -- all their goofiness throughout! The flow is so lovely -- starting with each of them in their individual moments and moving towards them together and taking care of each other and caring for each other. Gah, I'm incoherent. This vid captures everything I feel about the show and takes it to a whole new level of team love, family, and hoping for better things ahead together. I LOVE this so, so much. Thank you.

Just watching this once again (and again) at the end of a very long day... SO MUCH LOVE. This is my happy place.

I was about to comment to say how much I loved this, but this comment already said everything I felt much better than I ever could. So just, YES, +1, yes yes yes! ♥

Aww! I like the family pact of this vid, they make the most adorable friends and the way they support each other in all their kooky glory! :)

I love how you showed how kind they are to each other, like family. The timing of the editing was fabulous.

this is utterly fantastic. I love the way you've highlighted the insecurities underneath the antics and shown how *good* they are for each other, how much they care for each other. This vid made me very happy to watch.

So fun! This vid is exactly why New Girl is turning into one of my favorite shows. You got all the cute! and friends! and awkward! and sweetness! tied up in a neat little package that is so much fun to watch.
