LOONAverse: The eclipse of fiction & reality - A retrospective by Ruka (300 subscribers special!)🌙

[[**Closed captions to be added!**]]
It's time to dive back in anew, into the world of the LOONAverse.
(NOTE: the majority of this video was recorded prior to the release of Yves and ARTMS' debut albums. Don't worry; I still talk about them here! Just know that some of my statements in the older recordings were made prior to these occurring. Thank you! -Ruka)
To celebrate 300 subscribers for our main channel, Ruka has put together a special video essay recounting the storyline of LOONA's fictional universe and its evolution over the years! Whether you're a long-time fan or a curious newcomer, we hope that this video will serve as a guide to help start or refresh your knowledge on LOONA's worldview, or at the very least be an enjoyable listen.
Thank you all so so much for your continued support! It means the world to us that so many people have enjoyed our content, watching us geek out over our favorite artists. We hope we can continue to provide you with entertainment and insight into the world of J-idols and K-idols going forward.
Shoutout to Misaki from ‪@therojaksquad5387‬ , ‪@sydneyx_c‬ and ‪@Jayegato‬ for their contributions to this video. Also ‪@NerdsPsychoticInterlude‬ for letting me use a few of their instrumental remakes for the post-BBC group section.

The way you talk, the structure, the pacing and the effort in this video is just 🥺🫶🫶🫶🫶.

[@hyeegoist]

this video is genuinely impressive for a small channel, the quality and the fact that it's over 2h long... congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻
(pd: what's your fanfic? I'd love to see more on that vivi theory lol)

[@noidolnolifeinternational6179]

Thank you for the congratulations! 😄 My LOONAverse fanfic series is on Wattpad and separated into three "books." Book 1 "Story of 12" is everything from predebut up to Hi High, Book 2 "Butterfly Effect" is Butterfly to Why Not, and the finale Book 3 "New Moon" is PTT and Flip That.
I recommend starting with Book 1 since the whole storyline is interconnected (that's also where you'll see how I re-interpreted the theory of ViVi's origin for her becoming an android): www.wattpad.com/story/236797544-loona-story-of-12-loonaverse-series-book-1
