Remember that one movie a few years ago? Something something "Eternity Bracers"? Think it was called "Captain Revengers: Eternity Rocks" or something like that.
Anyways, to commemorate the effect that amazing and * completely unforgettable* movie had on our culture, today's genre is a Balance Loop! (Thanatos was obsessed with balance, right?)

Rules: Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells that passes through every circle. The straight line segments coming out of a white circle must have equal length, while the straight line segments coming out of a black circle must have different lengths. A clue in a circle represents the sum of the lengths of these two line segments.

As always, an example puzzle and its solution are attached to the image of today's puzzle. Try the example here (courtesy of @Xoned!) (puzz.link): https://tinyurl.com/3u56ffm8

Don't get it mixed up with Masyu or Dutch Loop, though! The loop doesn't have to turn on black circles, nor does it have to go straight through white circles-- both circles could be either!

To earn yourself a Speedy Sloth 🦥, dust (heh) off your balancing skills in 2:00 or less!
To net yourself a Quick Crab 🦀, become inevitable in 5:30 or less!
All other solvers are well-deserving of an Oublié Orangequit 🐦!
