only sleep's embrace can overpower hers ft

I did not expect a 1.5 minute minigame from Rhythm Heaven Megamix to have such emotional depth, but as soon as I heard Blue Bear, I was obsessed.
So, I went overboard. I gave Beary and Bearbara a back story, the Integrated City, and ramped the emotions up to 11. Throughout this cover story, I played around a lot with questions such as: what sorts of misunderstandings would occur in a world in which animals have human-level intelligence, but still plenty of animal traits? How would they struggle to blend "traditional" animal traits to newfound human behaviors? Would anyone understand?
Major thanks to ‪@Cavatina‬ for providing fantastic vocals :D Check out her channel at:

I love the dance you did in sync with the minigame. You really went all out for this, and I am grateful that you did.

[@subversiveasset]

I messed up soooooo many times before getting it right (and actually I think there is still a mistake actually lmao)

[@Injoltl]

Never in all my years of watching your covers have I anticipated a bear going to a relationship counselor. Really impressive take on the song!

[@subversiveasset]

bwahaha have to keep everyone on their toes...

[@athens5664]

Wow, I cannot believe how invested you got me into what's basically a fanfic for the blue bear game. I love both the story and the music!! And the dancing loll

[@EvanCarville]

I never expected to hear Blue Bear in such a depressing context. Nice work

[@subversiveasset]

I'm glad to be able to raise the emotional stakes!!!

[@Hypercecil9010]

The amount of characterization you give to rhythm heaven characters is astounding. I love this

[@subversiveasset]

Diving deep is one of my favorite things to do, even when the source material only gives just a little bit to work with!

[@Gyrodyssey]

Absolutely Beautiful! Amazing Work!

[@subversiveasset]

UA-cam Algorithm not ignore good content challenge (impossible)

[@subversiveasset]

haha, from looking at my analytics, youtube recommended it to a lot of people, but they didn't click, and the people who clicked left pretty quickly, so that's something I'll need to work on.

[@mralinasserali5670]
