I feel you. After the last episode of "Jasper" was posted, I immediately started writing a story that the two of them were long-lost twins, and then episode 8 of Benjamin and Oliver came out and....well, let's just say I've been sad ever since. But I also think that, no matter what, it would still be a bittersweet moment, even if my theory of Jasper and Quinn being twins wasn't true. Because, after all, they still formed a friendship, and, though where Quinn's going, he'll find his real mother, I still feel really sad that he won't get a chance to be in his friend's dreamscape, which, as far as he's concerned, is his true home. That's just what I thought, anyway.

Even though it was unintentional, it still kind of works. In the tiktoks, he sped up the interactions to fit it into 1 minute. In this video, we can already see that a lot more is happening between the lines of the original video. This video may have not yet shown Jasper Prime responding to the joke whereas the original Cult-ish tiktok didn't show his confusion before responding. However, this doesn't mean that both responses are mutually exclusive. I know I totally sound like an English teacher looking into things way too far, but that's just the way I interpret it lol

The symbolic transition from the TikTok screen to the KZread one at the beginning!! Chef’s kiss! I swear!
Why isn't this a Netflix series? I mean, this is so good, the shooting, the story, the angles. After seeing a video review of a Trash series with a really senseless plot that confused you even if you paid attention this series here is holy water or a real blessing and really what I needed to stop feeling as if I had lost a thousand neurons. Let me say this, if this was a Netflix series I would literally be the happiest man on earth and would do nothing but look at it. I mean, it's completely perfect to be broadcast on Netflix or TV, someone who works on it should see it and think about it. But on the one hand I'm afraid that if Netflix airs your show they could ruin the beautiful storyline you created, as much as I want it to be more popular I'm afraid it will be ruined, maybe it's better to leave it here and on Tik Tok. But I swear to you that the first time I saw the original video I thought it was a real Netflix series and I also remembered that they recommended it to me.

So cute that his mom does the voice for Ms. Hill. I cant imagine how long it takes him to lip-sync it perfectly. I’m in love with this concept
The reveal of Oliver using just his coat in the opening and the cut from his thoughts was just absolutely stunning. All your content is just so exceptional on every level; it's so inspiring. I feel like that "In this essay I will-" meme with how much I could gush over this. Thank you for brightening a really tough week! Can't wait to see how this all comes together.

A few important points. Your mom is a superb voice actress. You have truly mad lip-syncing skills. You could totally rule any stage in Vegas with that closing theme song.
