Thank you everyone who helped and cheerled with this. I'm also pleased to have finished this exactly a month after Vidukon, where I seem to remember publicly promising to make it.

With a word, with a line, you only disappear. Identity and violence.

lyrics:

Close my eyes, I'm moving still
Magazines and dollar bills
And you wake up to a fall of snow
Your telephone, your radio

Baby I'll call up a storm and keep you safe from harm
But you only, you only disappear

I can live with my regrets
Still raise a smile, still raise my head
And a stranger God can be so cruel
And a holy fool is still a fool

But this is all I can say, I have lost my way
But you only, you only disappear

With a word, with a line
With a smile that says goodbye

It's raining now on your street
And I'd walk to you if I could trust my feet

(note: part of the original idea for this vid came from the "mind control" square on my trope_bingo card.)

Oh, thank you, my dear! I'm really happy to hear that the emotion came through regardless - I have SO MANY FEELINGS about these characters and this subject, it's possible they can be seen from space, and it's so nice to hear they've been expressed the way I wanted them to.

(Oh JULIAN. I initially wondered about saying to you, don't watch this, Julian spoilers! But then I thought, Julian's arc is so rich and complex, it'd be hard for concrete spoilers to come through in a vid, and then I just started thinking about Julian OH JULIAN YOU BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER and then that line of thought derailed abruptly. :))
