Comes And Goes gave me all the Castle feels, and the fact that it was all about Wes and how heroic he truly was just added a whole different level of feels to it. It was beautiful and heartbreaking AF
I've literally been saving this video because I knew it would be amazing and I had no idea! Love this song, LOVE Wesley Wyndham-Pryce!!! Beautifully done. Just a stunning character exploration!
AMAZING WESLEY VIDEO. I love the way he calmly says, “...to please remember that I am your Watcher.” His heart and his dedication was so evident in his voice. “Oh, knocking things over, driving away business. You know, the usual.” Oh bless his heart, I adore him. Nice (brief) scene with Fred and the parallel of Lilah in his soul. ❤️ You darling! You included some of him and Faith! I am fascinated by their Watcher/Slayer relationship, so it was nice to see them included. I love all the moments you chose between Wes and Angel. Powerful friendship! ❤️ LOOOOOOOOOVE IT.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked this!! And YES at "heart and dedication", a lot of people hate on Wes during his Btvs era but I am so not down with that, because even back then it is obvious to me that all he wanted to do was help and was ALWAYS dedicated to the fight for good. Unfortunately he had a lot of trouble connecting with the Btvs crew(I love him but he is rather socially awkward LOL) and ended up being the target of their jokes and contempt instead of their ally *sigh* Sorry I just have so many FEELINGS on this lol.
Spoiler Alert (Just in case) I remember how, despite his flaws and quirks, I really liked Wesley in Season 3 of Buffy. Because _two moments/lines_ made me really like the character: "I want to help..." I never knew he was also in Angel so even as a side character to Buffy, I still liked him a lot. Really goes to show you how good these shows were when even the side characters are that likeable
Oh man you are just SO good at vidding this song! Your Smallville video to this song is my fave of your Smallville cast videos!! And now you go and use it for our boy!! This is so moving!! I loved the parallel with him and the box (lol that sounds weird) for "let down time after time" with him being cast out of the hotel/AI both times! And the way you paralleled him blaming himself for everything. The self loathing.../cries/ Ugh how are you so good at the "comes and goes in waves" lines! You did the same thing with your SV vid the way you paralleled ships like here the way you showed Wesley's crush on Cordy and then his feelings for Fred. You do a great job of showing evolution and the way our feelings and lives change, and I kind of felt like those moments showed how desperate Wesley is to be loved, but that his insecurities get in the way, and he seeks out relationships subconsciously that he knows cannot work (because of course he doesn't think he deserves love). THE FEELS, MAN. I just about died when you transitioned from the line he says to Illyria about still being surprised to Lilah literally surprising him!! Aaaaaahhhhh!!!! That was PERFECT!! :You really don't care anymore do you?" F*CK OFF!! lol sorry...that part always enrages me..."I got my throat cut and all my friends abandoned me" I so love that line!! Aaaww "the ones who try again" when he goes to Buffy even after the Faith mess and her quitting the council, because he genuinely wants to do what is right! I love that moment and her face there. I wish we could have gotten some Buffy/Wes interaction post season 3 of Ats! I wonder what her reaction to his transformation would have been! Now I want an Ats s5 fanfic where Buffy comes to LA to get Spike and meets Wes again (and yes, I know what your response to this will be: "WRITE IT!!!") haha but I digress... OMG THE ENDING OF THIS VIDEO...WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME?! IT IS *THE* SCENE...THE LAST LOOK BETWEEN WES AND ANGEL... AND IT'S ALL DRAWN OUT FOR EXTRA EMOTIONAL IMPACT. OMG. THE FEELS. As always you knocked this out of the park. I can't decide between your Wes videos. They are all so perfect in their own ways, just like him!
F*CK. THIS SONG IS MY WEAKNESS!! I'M CRYING, I LOVE THIS. "There was a time when you thought I was the loveliest thing in the world" OMG HOW DID I FORGET THIS. Also, I like how you've been including Virginia in your Wesley videos; such an underrated ship!
I love this song too, it always makes for emotional fanvids!! Omg wow someone who appreciates Virginia lol yeah I honestly enjoy ALL of Wesley's dynamics (except ONE, u know which one lol) and his relationship with Virginia is no different, no one ever talks about it/her but I actually liked her character and I thought she and Wes were sweet. Not meant to be together in the long run ofc, but good for what it was, you know? Little bit of a ramble but I don't think I've actually talked about that dynamic with anyone before lol!
This is so good! You do the best Angel tributes. You got me rewatching the show! I would really like to see your take on Cordelia Chase and her characters whole story and how she evolved from BTVS mean girl (with a heart underneath, of course) to ATS one of the most selfless character ever written.
You have done an incredible job. What an insightful and beautifully crafted video, and I am in awe how you've woven the strands of Wesley's story together and fit it into this song (which in itself screams Wesley and AtS).
