I wanted to make a vid focused on the Roy siblings after I saw the season 3 finale and had a lot of feelings about them. I don't remember how I found this cover of Don't Take The Money but it fit perfectly for how I wanted to make a video that showed the softer side of the siblings relationship and highlight how they all love each other even through all the terrible things they go through. I initially was going to center it around the last half of the s3 finale since that had a lot of the best scenes between them, but after I paused working on the vid (after I got super into Hacks and needed to vid my ship), season 4 came out and gave me even more amazing footage with the siblings so I was able to make the vid less focused on it. I'm glad that I waited and was able to finally finish it as I wanted to make a video to reflect my hope that even after the events of the season 4 finale, Kendall, Shiv, and Roy can eventually recapture the love they share and still be a family together.
