I know a lot of ideas will have been done before. But to use a major concept from another PV not yet two months old just seems sloppy or lazy. Sure redo a concept used years ago, but just under two months?

Anyway, it's not a big deal, I'd just like to be able to credit ayu with another interesting and original PV, but the LTWYL PV means the credit has to be somewhat less than I had first thought (I saw crossroad PV before I saw LTWYL. I was like "OMG she caught fire!!!". Then I saw LTWYL and it made me think "Oh. she got the idea form here did she?" Just made me be not quite as impressed as I had been.)
