Fruits Basket - My Medea

this is my third fruits basket video (amv), and by far my favourite! it's to "my medea" by vienna teng, who's an amazing singer. the song is depressing, and episode 25 is completely depressing (it makes me cry every time)--so i guess it evens out perfectly. basically, kyo sohma is the cat of the zodiac or--more like--the cat of NOT the zodiac. if you've ever noticed, there's a tiger, but not a cat. there's an ancient legend that the mouse told the cat that god/akito was holding a banquet for all the animals in the world the next day--but he lied so that he would seem more special in the god's eyes. the feast was that day, and the only animals that came were the twelve that make up the current zodiac, but the cat, who thought the banquet was the next day, never came. therefore, god condemned the cat by shunning it from the zodiac and putting upon it an eternal curse, so that whenever he is separated from the bones of that first animal (in the black and white bracelet pictured throughout the whole thing) he is transformed into a hideous monster. episodes 25 and 26 feature tohru honda (an orphan adopted by part of this family) as she battles her fears in order to help the one boy who will never belong.

[SoulofCrona]

how did you get a version of My Medea that doesn't block ur video? O_o

[darkesseofmagyk]

@SoulofCrona you know, i have no idea!!! i gguueessss it's because i posted this before the music detector/blocker was put into place? so the ones uploaded before that unfortunate day are "safe"? the song was bought legitly from itunes (one of my only ones...heh!), so that might have something to do with it as well... o.0
