Mousey Myth's Bad Ending

- The Ancient One having so much trouble with Gura that the only time it had the distinctive upper-hand was after Gawr disappeared and Gura reappeared, goes back into the mythos of H.P. Lovecraft, in which Atlantis has a distinctive connection to the eldritch horrors that exist in dark space. Look it up sometime; very interesting read. Now, mind you, Gura had no real chance as she is a berserker rather than a sage, but the battle forced TAO to reveal its true self for a moment, in order to reform Ina (its puppet/vessel). - Conversely, Kiara and Calli knew that their inherent immortality would work against them, because TAO would take them seriously from the very moment they engaged Ina. - The various themes that play during the battle are references to the girls' various original songs, from Calli's "Excuse My Rudeness, But Could You Please RIP?" to "Reflect." A nice touch, IMO. - Ironically, it's believed that the Takodachis are a sort of limiter or power-leech for Ina, as they do not exist in this timeline (Hololive, or more specifically HoloMyth, does not exist, and thus you see no references to them streaming or anything) to support Ina. - Amelia is indeed the true threat because of her space-time artifact, which allows her to traverse the different possible timelines. Even TAO exists within space-time despite it being an eldritch being, so abilities beyond that would inherently pose a significant risk. Myth knew it, TAO knew it. - Sana's symbol flickering is due to her own connection to TAO, as it does exist within her domain, and as an acolyte she would be the method in which TAO survives each attempt of fixing the timeline. It would also be the in-universe reason for Sana needing to leave so early in the good timeline, as she cannot let TAO to gain any more influence than it had accumulated by both hers and Ina's presence. - The in-universe timestamp on the projector is how the estimated age of the known universe is displayed in hour-format (comes out to, if memory serves, 13.7 billion years - correct me if I'm wrong). - By destroying the film, she basically rewinds time all the way to the very beginning, thus resetting the universe. I believe that, although she does experience the various Ames during the time-space jump, that she's not jumping through multiple universes but rather experiencing flashes of moments in history that her previous selves experienced in their own timelines - or else could be her limited, human mind trying to absorb the fantastical things she's seeing and putting them into a context she can actually comprehend (hence why her body reacts so violently after she finally comes to a stop in the Council viewing room. - At the end, when the camera pans away from the planet, you can see a distinct, white-lit winged shape being formed in the clouds. Some thought it was Kiara reappearing, but the shape is more distinctly IRyS's - the Hope of a brighter future has been birthed from Ame's actions in the Council observation room (NGL, I thought a YT video being projected onto a screen with an old-school projector was absolute GENIUS) and thus, in the reset timeline, she now has enough of a presence to bring Gura's attention to the Hololive talent agency. As a result, she meets Ina and the others, and they form the EN Gen1: Myth group (which happens in Gura's animated opening "Shark'd"). This was a brilliant short-film, and Ame absolutely LOVES it. I would love to see Mazu do something for Council and TEMPUS.

Mazu really did such an amazing job, I never get tired of seeing people watch it.

The praise Mazu is showered with is well deserved. Even going so far as having Epic Music versions of the girls original songs for the sound track. chef's kiss

Sana's symbol glitching gets me everytime. See you space cowgirl!

“We’re still here! Looks like she succeeded!” Ah. There’s the good ending 😊

I don't know how many times I've seen this now.... I still lose composure when Ina cries and tries to apologize. I'm so glad we're living the good ending.

And as the internet rumors go, as time rewinds, you can see a breef glimps of a glowing angel. that glowing angle in the sky is project hope so the rumors go. Brings a tear to your eye knowing that even then hope exists.

That orchestra version of Ame's BGM was absolute fire.

My favorite thing is that the date for when the world ended was set before the video was published. And when asked “when is the good ending coming out” they responded with it already has. So amazing

The answer to Mouse's question: Ina lost control in that timeline due to refusing to take an extended break in the last months of 2022.

This brings me close to crying every time without fail, it's a god damn masterpiece

the hololive fanbase is just bonkers how much incredible, professional level talent just freely makes/gives insane fanworks like this

I love the fact that Mouse knows Hololive enough to know about Red Gura (Gawr). I love how so many of the Vtubers are genuine fans of one another like that.

Complete proof that Mouse is a top tier musician/singer. Most reactions don't have them picking up the bgm and the references, Mouse picked them up instantly

My shower thought/late night theory. Ame reset the timeline 1337 times. She persisted over and over, and eventually, through the Despair, garnered enough Hope to draw IRyS' attention, who finally got Gura to see the HoloLive poster and started us on this Good Ending we live in.

In case anyone missed, near the end of the Gura fight, the black orb where Calli and Kiara were sealed started glowing. This likely meant that they were being used as fuel/power source from that point. You can also see AO fusing with that Black orb by the end to deal the finishing blow.

She is pretty smart, noticed most of the music easter eggs, answered the question that always comes up of where gura gets some strength from, immediately recognized the loop, AND realized we had passed the world end date, so we made it this time

Imagine Bae got accused of the plague but it was really Ironmouse who did it.

Lore is so good ngl, I cry so hard ;n;… I love how All the Vtuber lore connect to the Ancient ones and How it connects… Love it

The fact that this masterpiece was made by one single person still completely blows my mind.
