I've heard Ville has bipolar depression. Do you know something about it?

‘Fraid not, darling. I can’t presume to know anything about Mr Valo since I don’t know him personally. He has admitted to having episodes of a type of depression in the past but I believe only those closest to him are aware of what’s going on in his life at the moment since he is keeping a very low profile these days.

Hi! congrats for the blog, i loved your heartkiller gif! i was wondering, if it's not too much to ask, could you make a gif with the moment in digital versatile doom when they play funeral of hearts and ville says "love's the" and the crowd says the rest and he says "lovely"? thank you and take care :)
