I'm really glad I got to know some of you better too :) Also, thank you to those of you who wanted to participate but couldn't because of personal problems!
Everyone used manga (except Vickie, but her part is so amazingly beautiful..I can't even...*O*) because we all know how much you love MMV editing..Chrissy, thank you for being such an inspiration editor - I think I can safely say that you've inspired all of us in some way or another ♥
Thank you everyone for putting so much hard work into your parts (and for those of you who don't usually edit with manga, a special thank you!) I think everyone can really see all the love and effort you guys put in, because honestly this is one beautiful MEP!!! ;A; It was really an honour working with you all - thank you for helping me create this work of art!!

P.S. CHRISSY....I THINK YOU MAY BE A LITTLE TEARY BY NOW, SO NOW LET ME HAND YOU SOME TISSUES XDDDD WE LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!MEP Collection VImysticalmists2014-07-06 | Wow and look and that! Mez is uploading (who really cares apart from Anna!? Haha). How are you guys doing? Hope you're well :)
These MEP parts are sooooooooooo old. But I'm quite proud of them, even if there's only 4 haha.
#1: youtube.com/watch?v=_ILX_jxzc70&list=PLB3E1FD144FEDD45A&index=20 Song: Never Let Me Go, Florence + the Machine Manga: Tomai na Sekai & Millennium Snow Comment: I LOVE this song. I was so inspired for this part * A* I'm so happy with the colours and everything, yay for pastel colours and blurs all round!
#2: youtube.com/watch?v=vnH9Ol0I1ro&list=PLB3E1FD144FEDD45A&index=22 Song: The Show, Lenka Manga: mixed (Millennium Snow, Dengeki Daisy, Ao Haru Ride) Comment: This was SUCH a cool idea by Agi (& I now see other people copying her idea..Agi, you so cool) - we had to colour the manga and put our own stories into this MEP. I'll always remember my confusion from a certain guy at the time because of this MEP part..
#3: youtube.com/watch?v=PHus9VLknN8&index=21&list=PLB3E1FD144FEDD45A Song: Angel of Mercy, OneRepublic Manga: Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun Comment: I really love this song (& just OneRepublic in general THEY'RE TOURING NOW IN THE US WITH THE SCRIPT WHO I ALSO ADORE WHY AM I IN JAPAN I WANNA GO SO BADLY ;A;) so I was happy I got the chance to edit a MEP part with it! First time using this series - I really love it and I'm sad it's over..
#4: youtube.com/watch?v=N4ECWYFcrH4 Song: Human, Christina Perri Manga: Millennium Snow, Hatori Bisco Comment: Literally just finished this 30 minutes ago haha. Second MEP from Agi - what can I say, she hosts epic MEPs that match my style! I had so much fun with this, it was nice to be inspired and bang this out in 3 hours.
Hope you enjoyed this~ Maaaaaaaaybe have another video later this month if I can. Editing is BAD for you - my butt seriously hurts from sitting so long and my back is stiff. Definitely don't miss this about editing..
P.S. Less than 30 days til I see Chrissy (SummelBaerli) again alsdfjslkghEternal Romancemysticalmists2014-05-03 | *creeps in nervously* 久しぶり! It's been a while, hasn't it Youtube!?
Hello and how are you all!? I'm sorry it's been so long since I uploaded anything - does anyone here still remember me!? Lol. Here's a one-day edit for you..sorry it's not that good haha. I haven't edited properly since like, July last year =w=
I wanted to edit something quickly while I have the chance, as I'm on holidays right now. I managed to find a song and it matched Millennium Snow - I'm so glad Hatori Bisco finished it off after years of hiatus, even if the ending was a bit rushed. She really is the greatest mangaka ;w;
So to catch you guys up: I've been living in Japan for the last 10.5 months (how time flies) and I guess working and fending for myself has taken up most of my time. I miss those days when everyone was active on Youtube and my favourite manga series were updating regularly...I haven't read anything new recently that's caught my attention; I guess I'm getting too old for this stuff ;A;
I'll be leaving Japan at the end of July to go to Europe for a month before heading home. In Europe I'll see - WAIT FOR IT - CHRISSY (TheSummelBaerli)!! YES, we are finally meeting up again :D It's going to be an amazing time, though I think we'll both be pretty heartbroken for a few reasons x3
To be honest, I'm not sure when my next video will be. Not that I'm saying goodbye or anything (hopefully Chrissy and I will edit something and upload it to our channel: www.youtube.com/OTFCollabs) but I guess I don't really have inspiration and time so much these days.
The "Thank You" at the end of the video is to all of you guys for watching and supporting my video editing ;w; I'm sorry I'm such a boring editor - honestly, my video editing style is the same as it was when I first started (almost 5 years ago HOW HAS IT BEEN SO LONG). But I really appreciate all the comments you guys have left over the years.
Stay well and awesome! I'll still be lurking around here and on tumblr though :)

SONG: Sea of Lovers, Christina Perri (her new album is out - SO GOOD)
MANGA: Millennium Snow, Hatori Bisco
LAYERS: 15
NOTE: 56th MMV, completed 4/5/14Head VS Heart | collab with llMajlullmysticalmists2013-07-24 | Hey guys! A surprise collab for you all :DD
So about a week ago, I was listening to my iPod and heard this song, and realised how perfect it was for Ao Haru Ride (btw, the manga is driving me crazy but somehow it's the only thing I can edit with). I started the MMV myself, but I JUST COULDN'T EDIT WITH TOUMA |D
So then I had a random thought - maybe someone else, specifically Agi, could edit with the Touma part, while I edit with the Kou part (because for some inexplicable reason, I still like Futaba with Kou xDD). She's made some adorable MMVs using this couple, and she's an amazing editor, so I sent her a PM asking if she'd be interested...and she very kindly said yes!
And pretty much, BOOM. Our first collab was born! We're both pretty fast editors when we're inspired haha. It's clear that our editing styles are very different, but we both tried to make our parts match (using the same spinny thing just with different colours, the same sparkles things, a similar colouring overlay, the same fonts). Hopefully it plays through smoothly!
I think we both had good fun and inspiration making this! Just as an FYI, Agi is an amazing collab partner *w* thank you for being so wonderful! ❤
I think the name of the collab makes sense - "Head VS Heart"? xD
aka:
Her head is telling her Touma: "I couldn't ask for anything better." (Agi: ah, i got to love Touma even more while doing my part xDhe's sooooo sweet, i will be so sad when he'll get rejected ToT)
But her heart is telling her Kou: "I never knew I could feel that much and that's the way I loved you." (Me: Whereas for me, making my part I was like: DAMMIT KOU IS SUCH A DOUCHE WHY DO I LIKE HIM XDD)
Anyways, hope you guys enjoy it! :)

SONG: The Way I Loved You, Taylor Swift (pitched and sped up..avoiding copyright, much? xD)
"Now I'm back to find a way to say the things I didn't say."
Hello everyone!!! SO I ACTUALLY FINISHED IT /DELIRIOUS LAUGHTER. Hahaha my flight to Japan leaves in less than 12 hours and here I am with a video. Despite me taking me much, MUCH longer than I anticipated to finish this video, you have to give me points for at least finishing it the night before I fly overseas for a year xD
So yes, here (at last) is the Confessions video! For those who missed the video that started it all: youtube.com/watch?v=M2vUVoZVZT8 The video turned out sort of to what I was hoping for?! (there are some parts that bug me but I have no time to fix them xD)
Thank you so much to everyone who submitted a Confession - I really couldn't have done it without you ;w; And to think I thought I might not get any Confessions from you guys xDD I hope you can still remember what you wrote! Here's a list of all the Confessions in this video, shown in order of appearance: http://imperfectporcelain.tumblr.com/post/54421070036/confessions
I have to apologise for cutting some of the Confessions short - I did ask for only one sentence Confessions, because I knew it would be hard to fit it longer ones in the video xDD If yours was cut, I hope you can understand the difficulty I faced!
About the video itself - I really hope it flows and that it brings forth the emotions of the Confessions. I hope it's not too messy..there is a LOT going on throughout the whole video but I hope you guys can still enjoy it ;A; I matched the Confessions as best I could to a manga that I felt matched the "feeling" of the words - I'm happy with about 80% of the Confessions matching the manga story/plot-line :)
Also, thank you so much for 2000+ subs! I can't believe I've reached this milestone - I feel very honoured, and it really encourages me to know that there are people out there who enjoy my videos.
And special thanks goes to Annaaaa! Despite being trapped in an elevator with her + her family a few days ago, and being home alone at her house when it was broken into a few months ago, I really am very grateful to her for reminding me *coughnaggingconstantlycough* to finish this video \o/ Thank youu!
Alrighty, off now to finish some last minute packing and sleep..I'll talk to you all from Japan! (I'll have internet and I should still have time to edit 8D). またね~

SONG: Things To Say, SafetySuit
MANGA (in order of appearance): - Ao Haru Ride, Sakisaka Io - Velvet Kiss, Harumi Chihiro - Sukitte Ii Na Yo, Hazuki Kanae - Beast Master, Motomi Kyousuke - Cardcaptor Sakura, CCS - Ouran Host Club, Hatori Bisco - Sleepy Residents of Birdcage Manor, Takarai Rihito - Tonari No Kaibutsu-kun, Robico - Love So Life, Kouichi Kaede - Bokura Ga Ita, Yuki Obata
Feels like it's been forever since I've uploaded something. Reality: just over a month xD I guess cos I haven't really been editing much lately. Thanks to the people who've left lovely comments on my channel/videos - you guys have no idea how much nice comments make me want to edit!
Life's been a bit hectic and crazy for a number of reasons - one of them being THAT I APPLIED AND GOT A JOB IN JAPANNNNNNNNN!! I'M GOING FOR A YEAR. Yes, you heard right - me. Japan. For a year. By myself. Sometime in July this year! 8DDD As you might guess, I'm pretty psyched, but also slightly terrified and excited and amazed and nervous.
So that's happening! Finally bought a laptop (I've been using a desktop this whole time), so had to download all the editing programs again, and move all my files over (though I won't be able to move projects - GOODBYE AWESOME ALREADY-MASKED IMAGES ;______;). Since I'm basically having to leave behind all my old projects on my old computer, I figured I'd put together some MEP parts and unfinished projects. I won't finish them - please excuse me for stealing parts of these videos and inserting them into other videos *cough*
Song used in between parts is "Sore Ga Ai Deshou" from the Full Metal Panic Fumoffu soundtrack. Sorry for the lazy in-between parts...zz
MANGA: Ouran Host Club, Hatori Bisco SONG: Rhythm of Love, Plain White T's
3. Vala's Birthdayyyyyyyyyyyy! | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPfN00WmAqY Woohoo, my part for Vala's birthday MEP! I wish I had time to colour more, but I'm glad you liked the part, Vala ;A;
MANGA: Dengeki Daisy, Motomi Kyousuke SONG: By Your Side, Tenth Avenue North
4. Stay Stay Stay | youtube.com/watch?v=WdLRxj_Y2-w This part took ages to get inspiration for. I knew what picture I wanted for the "you think that it's funny when I get mad" - that one where they're playing cards - but I found it hard to fill the rest in =w= Attempted to put some stupid DD parts in it xDD But I really like how it came out in the end! (thanks again Agi for waiting for it xD)
MANGA: Dengeki Daisy, Motomi Kyousuke SONG: Stay Stay Stay, Taylor Swift
5. Ships in the Night | UNFINISHED MOST OVERUSED SONG YEAHHH. Had a lot of inspiration when I first started (originally I wanted to edit with the rap verse, but then lazy) but ran out quickly..plus I stole like half of this video and shoved it in another video xDD So probably won't be finishing it. I like the colours though *O*
MANGA: Ao Haru Ride, Sakisaka Io SONG: Ships in the Night, Mat Kearney
6. Good to You | UNFINISHED This one is one I actually really wish I could finish. I started it after I saw MT in concert last September - THEY WERE SO GOOD AHHHHHHH *A* I was going to make it all-coloured and pretty and gorgeous and epic (TamaHaru only deserves the best) but then Vala awesomely chose this song for my birthday MEP (thank you again!! ;A;) and I got busy and ran out of time for colouring..anyways, I still want to make a decent TamaHaru vid (since my old ones use my old style) so one day I will finish one!! Going to re-read Ouran again~ Hope you like it, even if it's incomplete..
MANGA: Ouran Host Club, Hatori Bisco SONG: Good to You, Marianas Trench
AND THAT IS ALL. I haven't really got any editing plans, though I really want to edit..oh! BUT I WILL FINISH THE CONFESSIONS VIDEO THOUGH! PROMISE! I'm sorry it's taken me this long, I'm 2/3 through it...just need to get a few more manga to finish it off. You guys were awesome in sending me Confessions, but some of you sent some really long ones which are harder to put in the video xDD Anyway, please be patient with me - I'll get it done in the next month :)
"Oh from this moment on, I'm changing the way I feel. From this moment on it's time to get real."
Wow, my first proper video in ages. I feel like all my videos lately have been a bit "blurghh" and boring, so hopefully this one is a bit more interesting xD
So this video is a vent. I needed to make this to clear my head from the mess that it's been in lately, thanks to a certain guy =w= Basically this is just an attempt to pull myself together, to tell myself that I need to get over the idea of us together because IT WON'T HAPPEN cos he's long gone. I'm going to stop getting excited about texts, I'm going to stop creating invitations to meet up. I'm gonna get over someone who never even was mine to begin with. I'M GOING TO STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS WHOLE FREAKING SITUATION.
And hence the title "in.sanity" - all this craziness is up inside /my/ head ..on the outside, I keep it together but seriously, inside is just a mess. I need to stop thinking about this whole situation; I swear, overthinking kills my life =___=
ANYWAY, I hope you guys enjoy it, even without the complicated back-story behind it. Ao Haru Ride seems to be my emotional-vent atm xD Oh and yes, I know that The Script is singing this song from a guy's perspective, but I think it definitely fits Futaba's (and mine) situation xD
On another note - I'm seeing The Script in a week!! SO SO SO SO EXCITED!! Just got my hands on their 2nd album and discovered this song (and fell in love with like half the album along the way) - I AM SO READY FOR THE CONCERT, BRING IT ON SKfWEOIRGH

NOTE: 54th MMV, completed 1/4/13.Stardust.mysticalmists2013-02-03 | Hi it's Anna rollin in Mez's territory~~~ Uploading her masterpiece for her which she created on my laptop so yes I witnessed the magic guise so be very jelly of my belly (since I got to eat zhe eye candy) Anyway she's msging me what she wants to write in the description (But ignore everything she said about me doing the good parts 'cause I barely did anything lol) (She also made me write my name in the intro but srsly I barely did anything cries):
Mez- Hey guys, so Anna hijacked my account xD I'm lucky enough to live a mere TWO HOURS away from Anna, so I went to her place a few weeks ago and made this dodgy video. It only looks somewhat decent (I'm assuming cos I haven't actually watched it lol) because I made Anna finish it and put pretty textures on it and text... so all the good parts are thanks to Anna ♥ Hope you guys enjoy it, hopefully we can make more videos together and watch more FMA together.. if we can find time and if Anna just moved closer to me kthanks... Enjoy!
(Anna here again) Errrr Mez: "And then please include your URL otherwise I'll kill you"
OK so it's 1am and my brain is not working. But look! A finished MMV! And it's decent length! And it's not a super lazy mmv! HOORAY!
This is for Nikki aka songinmyseoul :) I got you as my Secret Santa this year - and I was so happy to find that you were one of my subscribers!! And you weren't a lurker-subscriber - you left comments on a few of my videos! ;A; That really made me determined to make a Bokura ga Ita video for you, because you left such a lovely comment on "Last Kiss", where I also used this manga :)) I hope you enjoy it and I hope you have a very lovely Christmas!!
ABOUT THE VIDEO: Well, I guess this video shows what I can do when I don't get lazy + when I have inspiration haha. I think it's quite different to my normal style - I've sort of chucked together a whole bunch of different editing effects/techniques, so I hope it doesn't look too disjointed x3 I'm always annoyed at myself because the darker/quieter verse at the beginning always seems to look much better than the actual chorus, which is the highlight of the song xDD Sorry for cutting the chorus, it was hard to find pictures of Yano happy |D
I love this song to bits, and the lyrics were perfect for BGI. However, the intense beats made this a gutterpunking experience ..I hope I did OK!? ;A; (sorry if the rainbow/light-beats are too much...actually, sorry that I'm not sorry, I don't even care anymore, I TRIED TO MATCH THE BEATZ OK)
I only started this video about three days ago, in a slight panic because Christmas was so close and I hadn't started my Secret Santa video. I haven't had much inspiration lately, but I really wanted to get this video done....imo, the best way to get rid of editor's block is to just sit at the computer and do your "standard" effects to a song you like..and then things will sort of fall into place?! Well, that's how it worked for me, anyway.
I'd like to give a special thanks to Anna (fadingforya) - cos she's awesome in so many ways. She listened to me complain about masking for about three nights straight and she encouraged me to NEVAH GIVE UP ON DIS VIDEOOOO (unfortunately, that is how we speak on Skype |D). And she also promised she'll draw me some pictures and send me all her betas (I'm not telling any lyes here, am I? ;D) ILY!! (also, check out her MUCH MORE AWESOME video to the same song - youtube.com/watch?v=t1Y4-IqVCcM I'm a derp and only re-discovered after I'd decided on this song that she's already edited to it |D I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SHE EDITS IT'S SO UNIQUE AND AWESOME SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME)
Also thanks to Breezy (BreezeElric) for organising this Secret Santa! :D
This will be the last video of the year from me. I haven't got time or energy to edit anything else, but the next thing I'll be finishing is the "Confessions" video! No, I haven't forgotten about it but I have been busy so I really hope you guys understand.
OHH and if you've read this far, you are awesomesauce and deserve to know what Plume Project is hoho. Just wait for it...it's gonna be LEGENDARY 8DD (hint hint: http://www.youtube.com/plumeproject)
-- OK Mez out and sleeping zzzz

// Ao Haru Ride spoilers until chapter 22!!
Hey guys! I FINALLY FINISHED MY EXAMS! (and also my University degree, wooooooooooooo) - so supposedly I have more free time. But in reality, I don't have actually that much free time in the next month and a half cos I've got a million long-overdue catch-ups with friends, I'm going on a week-long trip next Wednesday AND THEN THE WEEK AFTER THAT CHRISSY'S COMING AND OMGOMGOMG SHE'S ACTUALLY COMING TO AUSTRALIA!!!!! SJFSLGJSLKJGLKSHGSJGLKAJGL IS THIS REAL LIFE/REALITY?! *_______* WE ARE GONNA EDIT A LOOOOOOOOOOT OF STUFF (WELL THAT'S THE PLAN, BUT WE'VE ALSO GOT LOTS OF STUFF TO DO HOHOHO..WE MIGHT GET A BIT DISTRACTED)..But I promise you, we'll /finally/ upload something to our poor little empty collab channel while she's here x3 Thank you so much to everyone who's already shown us their support, even with an empty channel xDDD Go stalk Chrissy now if you don't already know her videos (you really should, they're godlike *A*) - youtube.com/user/TheSummelBaerli And our collab channel, if you're interested - youtube.com/user/OTFCollabs
ANYWAYS, as you might have guessed I'm just a /little/ bit excited about Chrissy coming xDDD But for now, let me just ramble a little bit about this video (lol I write so much in these descriptions, thank you for reading these things if you do haha)
So, last week I uploaded "Touch & Go", which sort of looks at Futaba's side of things and how their relationship is "treacherous" and kinda exhilarating. This video, "Regrets" didn't start out to be a complementary video, but now that I'm rewatching it, it's turned out like it could be xDD This one's from Kou's perspective after his STUPID decision to basically reject Futaba in chapter 22 T_____T I know things will work out in the end and I know Kou's just being a really nice friend to what's-her-name, but it's still frustrating gahhh! Still, I definitely support this couple 100% (sorry Touma and his fans, but he's no Andou from Strobe Edge xDD He hasn't managed to earn a special place in my heart just yet |D). Anyways, this video sort of explores Kou's feelings behind all this mess and how he really feels - well, what I think he feels (so damn hard to tell what he's thinking, with his poker face and awesomely fluffy hair xDDDDDD)
I'm sorry it's really lazy and there aren't like any cool effects, but I heard this song a few days ago and started tearing up thinking about it in an AHR context so I just had to edit with it. There's a few little mistakes but it took so long to render and I'm tired and wanna sleep so I'll just upload it now xDDDD I hope you guys enjoy it!
OH! And the quote at the end is from a certain Regina Spektor song :)
I swear my next video (the "Confessions" mmv!!) will be so flashy and sparkly your eyes will be in pain. And like EVERYTHING is masked xDDD I've done about 1:30min of it, so I'm about halfway there - I'm aiming to get it done before I leave for my trip next Wednesday so get ready for that ;D Thank you all for your confessions, they've been so wonderful for my inspiration ;A; (if you still want to submit one, please do so by the 6th November - thanks!

SONG: You Could Be Happy, Snow Patrol (IT SOUNDS HIDEOUS PITCHED URGHHHH)
MANGA: Ao Haru Ride, Sakisaka Io
LAYERS: 14
NOTE: 50th MMV, completed 3/11/12. (50TH VIDEO WOOOOOOOOO, HALFWAY TO 100 HAHAHA)Touch & Gomysticalmists2012-10-23 | If blocked - vimeo.com/52070438
"This slope is treacherous, this path is reckless."
// Ao Haru RIde spoilers until chapter 21!! (CHAPTER 22 DOES NOT EXIST IN MY MIND T____________T)
So this video should not exist. Actually, like 99% of my videos, it was created at the worst possible time |D I have my final FINAL exams (finishing uni forever in 10 days!) starting this Friday and my amount of study is more than a little depressing =_______= (though I'm meeting Anna (fadingforya) tmrw for an EPIC study date, so I'll try to redeem myself! Although I might be so tired from editing this asdfjlkgh)..MOVING ON......
I have terrible self-control, so even though I told myself I wouldn't read AHR until AFTER my exams...well, I did xDD And since I've been listening to Taylor Swift's new album (damn, her music is so catchy!!!), obviously the two really connected, being shoujo and fluff and all that good stuff. This is probably the fluffiest shoujo mmv I've done in a while xDDD
I made this in about 4 hours, so forgive any rough bits/boringness xDD It's a very simple video and I enjoyed having some really good inspiration for it!! AND I MASKED A RECORD OF ONLY LIKE 3 THINGS LOOOL...Usually my projects have like a million masks |D But since I wanted to get it done in one night so it wouldn't linger over me before Friday, it's not a masterpiece...I'm reasonably happy with it though, got some of that crazy OTP love out - you know it's an OTP when you start screeching at pages xDDDD Seriously, Kou when he's being all sweet and caring just gets me asjdflkghsklgjs...AND THEY'D BETTER GET TO GO TO A FESTIVAL TOGETHER SOON DAMN IT....AHEM...ANYWAYS, I plan to make at least one other AHR mmv (which will be more complex than this) after my exams, so look out for it :) (hopefully by then we'll have some nice resolution to the mess in chapter 22..DAMN YOU KOU!!! /breathes)
Anyway, I really have to go to sleep because I originally planned to have this video done by 10pm, but typically, I spent forever editing and now it's 12.42am and I have to get up early tmrw...so hope you enjoy it, for what it's worth :) (I'll reply messages on tumblr tmrw!!)
EDIT: Yep, it got blocked, in GERMANY OF COURSE =w= [I pitched the song (the original sounds MUCH better, so go check it out!) but I bet it'll still get blocked =w= I'll reupload somewhere if it does.]
Also, I just wanted to say thank you to you all for 1600 subs ;A; HOW I DO NOT KNOW BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I really appreciate your support!
My theme for the contest was "light" (rather than "dark") - the challenge is in getting sorted into a theme that is supposed to be the opposite to your usual style...although I'm not sure how many of you agree with me, but I think that my style's more light than dark - well, apart from the depressing videos this year, sorry about that...which is probably why I got sorted into the Light group.
Anyways, I didn't struggle too much with this theme cos I had the perfect song in mind (it's so joyful and peaceful, it just SCREAMS "light"/fluffiness to me) and finally found some inspiration from Nineteen, Twenty-One...It's been a while since I've edited with it too.
I made this video in about..7 hours? I haven't edited anything like this for a while, so I wanted to get it done tonight while I have time, energy and inspiration. And now it's 3.30am.
Paper plane idea was from the original "Brielle" video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PkzsMak6P8 Paper planes used can be credited to MouritsaDA-Stock on deviantart.
About the actual contents of the video: I'll just say, there's two sides to the video - not everything is as it seems. I didn't want to make it so obvious that it would detract from the actual video (especially as it's supposed to be happy and "light") but I needed to put in some "truth" about myself in it because the on-the-surface general atmosphere of the video is certainly not how I'm feeling currently and I couldn't make it without putting something in.
The title "Messages" refers to the messages I've quoted throughout the video. It's not easy to see and I don't expect people to bother with it, but if by chance you can read the subtext, you'll know what I mean and how I feel, but if not, don't worry about it and just enjoy the video. I needed to put it in for my own sake.

SONG: Brielle, Sky Sailing (FYI, Sky Sailing was one of Owl City's earlier band names)
OK. So this manga is just too much emotion ;_______; It's called "Deep Love - Ayu no Monogatari" (this story focuses on Ayu, there are other "Deep Love" stories in the series) and it's absolutely heart-breaking. In all seriousness, it deals with a lot of darker issues and has adult themes, so please don't read it if you're under 18 cos there are some things in it that are quite disturbing and scary (even for me..but then, my maturity level is like zero, so...xD)
To those who have read it....*gives tissues* TT___________TT
// ABOUT THE VIDEO: I read it a few weeks ago and I've been dying to make a MMV with it cos too many emotions xDDD Finally re-found this wonderful song to use (been wanting to use this song for ages too *w*) and I finally got some inspiration (of course it comes right when I have two exams to study for xD).
It actually took me a while to figure out everything for this video, even though it's short and relatively simple - there were too many scenes that could fit the lyrics but they didn't flow and make much coherent sense, and I couldn't find the "perfect" effects and textures (still not 100% happy with it but anyway xDD). Please forgive my dodgy animation |D
Oh, and sorry all my non-dedication videos have been a bit depressing lately |D whatisfluffyeditingidek

NOTE: 47th MMV, completed 25/8/12[ALS] Changemysticalmists2012-07-31 | Another vent video. It's been a long time coming. I don't really want to talk about it with anyone, sorry. Words in intro are some of the thoughts that have been going round my head a lot lately.
"It's cold again I do not know what to do I need a friend But all I really want is you Where have you been I haven't seen you for so long I guess you're gone You're really gone.
So long ago You told me you'd never leave But do you know Things have changed so suddenly And here I am I am moving on without you Without you."
"Light, light, light up the sky Light up the sky to show me you are with me."
This is for Amie. Sorry I couldn't get this done earlier!! I really wanted to finish it the day I got your PM but I didn't have time D:
You know, I always wish there was something more that I could do for you..if I could come to where you are and cheer you up in person I seriously would (I mean that in a non-stalkerish way, oh wait, I already have you address, brb, coming to your place nao, there's no way that couldn't be stalkerish ;DD). No, but seriously, I don't believe you realise how precious you are, to me and to the people in your RL..You help people and care for people, no matter how exhausted or down you're feeling, and that's something about you that I really admire. You really are "21" and more mature than me ;)
So, in typical Mez cheesy "Dengeki-Daisy-quoting" style: thank you. Thank you for being the strong person you are, thank you for making it through each day with such a positive attitude and thank you for not giving up despite the stuff you're going through. Thank you for being there for me, for being my mental support when I needed it. "I hope that your heart will grow stronger. I hope that I can help you with that." (chapter 41)
I hope this video gives you a bit of revival and strength when you're feeling down. Keep doing your best, and know that you can ask me for anything and I'll do my best to help you! ;w; ILY ♥
About the video: I wanted to focus more on Teru's, rather than Kurosaki's, strength. It's so nice to see a shoujo girl with guts and courage, and I think that while Kurosaki does "save" Teru a lot of the time, Teru also helps Kurosaki with his issues and gives him strength...so I tried to pick scenes that reflected this (also, most of the time I think of myself being helped by AA, like Kurosaki helps Teru (though platonically hahaha), so this time it's kind of the other way around ;A;)
I started this 3 days ago but did most of it tonight. It's almost 5.30am here but I'm glad I got this video done ;w; WORTH IT: http://imperfectporcelain.tumblr.com/post/27405069432 And I can sleep in tomorrow /phew GOOD SLEEP TONIGHT/THIS MORNING |D
And that's all I've got to say. Basically, it's a personal video made with quotes from DD for AA cos I love her *huuuuuuugs*
EDIT: Oh bummer, I forgot to put my watermark |D And I see a few little errors. OH WELL IT'LL JUST HAVE TO DEAL COS I'M SLEEPING XDDD Night!!!

NOTE: 45th MMV, completed 21/7/12[ALS] Separationmysticalmists2012-06-30 | One-day edit. Just working through a vent. Nothing serious, don't worry. I'm coming to a realisation about myself that I'm horribly needy. Sorry about that, I need to get out more xDD
Anyways, I'm re-reading Ouran and I'm up to the bit when the twins fight, so it worked nicely with how I'm feeling atm. It's nice editing with the twins..I think the story of how their relationship changes from them being stuck in their own world, to separating because they both realise their love for Haruhi and then their reconciliation is something really touching and should be told more.
Doing my best to make fluffy mmvs but failing miserably..Editing's a bit of a violent struggle at the moment =w= Sorry my videos lately are kinda serious and dark..

"If darkness blinds you I, I will shine to guide you."
This is dedicated to one of my most wonderful IRL best friends.
Dear BろBろ,
Seeing you today upset made me upset, and I wish there was more I could do to cheer you up and help you get through this stressful period. I always want to see you げんき and smiling and so I hope this video gives you back a bit of hope and strength to overcome these upcoming obstacles.
You know I'm always here for you, always happy to help with anything. Thank you for being such an amazing friend, helping me with my にほんのべんきょう, listening to every single aspect of my life with patience and enthusiasm and taking the time to analyse what foods I like/do not like ;D
I'll see you soon, but just wanted to write something cheesy for you in the description ほほほ~ すきです!!
About the video: This is the longest MMV I've ever made!! (not counting those dodgy WMM MMVs xD). I made it in about six hours with some breaks and with Chrissy listening to my grunting, off-key singing and mumbling on the microphone |D (thank you and sorry for that Chrissy xDD) The style of the video is quite simple but I hope that its simplicity helps convey my emotions~ This is the first time I've used text for lyrics so apologies if the text is all over the place or if the effects are slightly dodgy ^^; Also, as always, any text left in the manga was intentional for understanding the storyline or because it was an epic relevant quote :) All the mangas used (listed below) are shoujos that I would recommend as I've found them to be a bit "deeper".
This is a song that I found really powerful & uplifting. I really find that it envelops me and makes me feel a bit more positive and comforted. For anyone who is feeling down at the moment, stressed by school work, or unhappy with their life, this is also for you. I know things are hard at the moment, but please, don't give up. Things will get better, so keep your chin up and keep trying your best.
Sometimes we take people for granted and we don't stop to think how lucky we are to have them in our lives. Take this opportunity now to think of these special people you love, and maybe even send them a message to let them know that they are loved.
I think that's all I've got to say. Sorry for any weird things I wrote, it's 2am so my brain has reverted back to its default state which is cheesiness and sentimental stuff xDD
EDIT: "my brain is dead" example: Me: Uhhh I'm so unimpressed by the uncolourful thumbnail choices =w= Chrissy: ... Me: Oh wait, that's cos the video has no colour /stuuuuuuuupid |D

NOTE: 43rd MMV, completed 5/5/12.[ALS] Fireflies Flashmysticalmists2012-04-01 | "With her shoes in her hands, I am watching her dance, As the hem of her dress gently kisses the grass."
//Spoilers up to chapter 40 of Dengeki Daisy (new chapter 46 came out last week!)
Hello everyone! :) It feels like a very long time since I've uploaded a decent video (about a month and a half since "Inexplicable") - I've been lacking inspiration a lot and I've sort of been absent on Youtube in general. But I think I've sort of needed that time away to get a new perspective on my editing style.
This is dedicated to two wonderful friends: Amie and Chrissy.
Amie: You've opened up so much to me, told me so many things from your past and I can't help but be amazed and quite honestly be in awe at your inner strength. I think you're probably one of the most selfless people I know; you always put other people first and you've always got something positive to say to me when I'm feeling insecure and stupid, even when you have so many more serious things to deal with /tearing up omg..You make me laugh /so/ much (not so great when I'm at uni haha) and your support is so precious to me..you're definitely my AA positively-charged battery. I know life's being a bitch for you at the moment, so I just wanted to say that I'll always be here for you if you need a shoulder to lean on and someone to PMS rant to.
Chrissy: Sweetie, you are seriously one of the most generous people I know. You have this...light that draws people in and that makes them feel loved and appreciated. Sometimes I can't believe how lucky I am to have met you and it scares me to think how much I would be missing out on if I hadn't joined that MEP that fateful day. I feel like I can talk to you about anything, and just knowing that I get to talk to you on Skype makes everything better. You understand me on so many levels, whether it's fandoms or serious stuff, and just /talking/ to you makes me so so happy. If I let a day go by without talking to you..umm, that day's just no good. I seriously CANNOT WAIT until November cos then I'll get to make even more wonderful memories with you!!
So to the both of you, this for you. Thank you so much for being there for me, dealing with all my craziness, constant messages and stalkings, for always responding instanteously when I'm feeling down, giving me your support, just for being the most supportive friends I could ever ask for. I'm sure you both know this, but I'll always be here for you guys, to help you through anything. (reading over all this, omg, so much cheese, I love you guys x3)
About the video: This video is different than my usual style and I'm really happy with the way it's turned out. Everything was "freshly" masked - as in, I didn't copy it over from another project. I also didn't use Photoshop (for once xD) to mask - everything was masked the old-fashioned way...the no editing-shortcuts makes this seem more ..real to me, even though it takes longer.
Sorry for cutting this beautiful song a little short...I spent the last 2 days doing this and consequently haven't done any of my uni work ahaha../flail. And I'm late right now! /runs
---
SONG: Fireflies, Ron Pope (thank you so much for the song suggestion AA!!!)
"I've had time and I've had change, I've been broken but still I can't explain..."
This video feels like a rant video but I don't actually know what I'm ranting about...I think I have some emotions caught up inside me that have come out in this video subconsciously..
I do know, however, that this MMV is channeling my TamaHaru-moe fangirlism xDDD I woke up this morning and was going through some old files and had this mad desire to see TamaHaru fluff x3 Thank you to xBlindingLie and xpeppermintsky for giving me song suggestions for TamaHaru! *A* Hopefully I'll get some more inspiration to edit with some of those songs soon!! :D
Sorry this video isn't the greatest thing in the world...this is what I define as my "lazy" editing style..but I think maybe the simplicity suits the song? (or maybe I'm just looking for an excuse haha..) The storyline behind this story is...well, I'm actually not sure but I really love this song and it's so poignant and pensive that when I opened it up in SV today, it kinda just ..FLOWED...so umm, the storyline is something like this: an Alternative-Universe where Haruhi just can't let go of Tamaki and their relationship no matter what happens between them because there's something INEXPLICABLE binding them together (hence the title xD But also cos inexplicable is a cool word. So yeah.)
It's yet /another/ one-day edit..One of these days I'm really going to have to find the ongoing inspiration to make an epic MMV that takes me more than one day =w= All my vids lately have been one day to one week edits which doesn't make for the best videos sometimes..
Umm...what else to say...OHH! TIME TO PIMP SOME STUFF: ● OTFCollabs - http://www.youtube.com/user/OTFCollabs Chrissy (TheSummelBaerli) and I often video-collab together so if you like our work, please show us your support! ^^
● Hatori Bisco's newest work!! *A* http://omaris-sister.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/one-shot-datarame-mousouryoku-opera-by.html READ IT COS I WILL EDIT WITH IT. PLUS IT'S HATORI BISCO SO YOU HAVE TO READ IT. Her art is just so perfect ;w; I have the perfect song in mind but I'm gonna wait for the next two chapters (it's going to be a 3-chapter story) before I start editing it :3 And please, read it at least twice (the first time reading it is a little confusing so you need a few more readings to absorb the awesomeness *A*)
Ummm and finally, I've got Uni starting in a week's time so editing time will be decreased cos I really want to try hard this semester. So I won't be taking on anymore MEP parts or collabs for the time being.
Uhuhuhuhu, we finished it!! Chrissy and I set ourselves the challenge to do a collab-video in one day, and this is the result! We needed to heal our souls after our Gutterpunkin' experience..Short parts are love (Y)
If you haven't watched the movie Moulin Rouge, I suggest you do NAO because it is brillliant and beautiful and is amazingly touching ;w; Plus there's Ewan McGregor in it..what more could you ask for? We both love the movie, so we chose to do this song - it kinda is symbolic of us at the moment because we're feeling the pressures of life and growing up, so this song really speaks to us.
Also, THIS: [12:28:25 PM] Chrissy: I kinda love how it's a one day collab to ONE DAY I'll fly away
We really enjoy doing collabs together and editing to songs we fall in love with, so if you like our work please check out our joint Collab channel! We'll be uploading all our future Collabs onto this channel 8DD http://www.youtube.com/OTFCollabs
This part of the description is just about me xD I'll be away from tomorrow for 3 weeks, as I'm travelling to New Zealand for a holiday!! 8DD I probably won't have that frequent internet access though, so I won't be replying messages/comments til after I get back...I get back on the 17th! If there's anything urgent though, please PM me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can :)
P.S. 100th video is epic!

I know what you're all thinking: "Umm, Mez, isn't Cony's birthday in JULY? Why you so stupid?!" WHY YES WORLD, HER BIRTHDAY IS IN JULY. I JUST FAIL A LOT AND HAVE TAKEN OVER HALF A YEAR TO FINISH A PROPER BIRTHDAY VIDEO FOR HER SO SHUSH xDDD
...Yeah, OK, I'm a little hyper but also tired cos I did this video in under 24 hours |D SPEED EDITING FTW. And the lack of sleep was TOTALLY WORTH IT; the inspiration wouldn't stop coming (how nice for a change).
This is the first manhwa (the Korean's equivalent of manga) I've read, and I thought it was super sweet! ;w; And it's not too long either, so it's a nice read~ Cony introduced me to it and she loves this song, so it's a somewhat fitting birthday present (maybe just a /little/ late OTL)
Message for Cony: thank you so much dearie for being the awesome person that you are! You're my oldest friend on Youtube - I remember how we first met (and back then, neither of us were really editing with manga very well..I see improvement from both of us over the last 2 years though MUHAHAHA xDD) - you left such enthusiastic comments on "Collide" and on so many of my other videos! I think that despite the many events we've gone through over the last few years, that's something that hasn't changed - your ability to make people feel loved through your passion and wonderful words! Stay lovely as always! And prepare your body for another birthday video in 6 months time (provided inspiration doesn't go away on me again |D) Love you!!! ♥ ♥
About the video - I really had a lot of fun editing this!! Except for the rendering part - I kept finding little mistakes so I had to fix them cos they bother me to no end, and then I had to re-render so it'd be pitched =____= CURSE YOU, YOUTUBE!!
Anyways...moving on~ I've always wanted to edit with this song (I had like a 5 second long part with Dengeki Daisy..it isn't very good =w=). Tried a number of new effects/ideas from various MMVs which I love...
Thank goodness for Photoshop - I didn't mask a single image thanks to it xDDD All the pictures were coloured already in the manhwa, so that's an extra bonus ;D Such a beautifully drawn and coloured work of art *A*
Hope everyone's had a great start to 2012! (excluding a certain troll =___=)

//Contains spoilers from the end of Ouran//
...THIS IS THE OURAN TRIBUTE VIDEO I'VE BEEN HOPING TO MAKE FOR SO LONG ;w; I hope you enjoy it and that it inspires you to read Ouran again :)
* BE WARNED THAT THERE IS A LONG DESCRIPTION AHEAD *
This video started out as a vent video about a week and a half ago..You know that feeling when you don't really have anything to complain about in your life - there's nothing terrible going on, but you have this inexplicable feeling of loneliness, and you just need to cry and want a hug? It's not a permanent thing, but I think it's always waiting in the back of your mind to get you when you're feeling vulnerable. While editing I always listen to my iTunes so I don't get bored while masking xD This line from "Dakota" by O.A.R. caught my attention and says what I mean: "I think everyone has a devil waiting in the wings When you don't know what to do And you don't know who to be."
For me, it's probabIy because I have unrealistic expectations of people - thinking they'll realise I'm going through difficult situations without me saying anything directly to them, and then being crushed because they don't say anything. And it's not like I'm flawless in this aspect - I know I've hurt people; unintentionally, but still, I have hurt them. But of course, not everyone has the time to check up on you all the time cos they're battling their own demons or moving forward in life - and I think it's just something you have to accept or otherwise you'll get caught into a cycle of negative emotions.
SO ANYWAYS, that was how this video started. This is the beauty of video-editing and why I love it so much..releasing those pent-up emotions. Plus, it's therupeutical too - I feel much better now (probably because I got caught up in editing rather than wallowing in misery xDD). May have shed a few times while making this ;___; Ouran + this song = high emotions for me.
Ahh and holy crap..I haven't been this proud of a video since probably..."Prove You Wrong"? That's not to say I dislike my other vids - but this one really just feels right to me - the way it was created, the inspiration I had when making it, the emotions it conveys (hopefully). One of my New Year's Resolutions for 2011 was to become a better editor, and I think if you compare this video to say, this one - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2oVlGZBGjA (my "old" style), I think I can safely say, "CHALLENGE ACCEPTED AND COMPLETED" (one of the few 2011 Resolutions I actually accomplished OTL T__T). I'll always strive to be a better editor.
Also these lyrics were just...FITTING for Ouran in my mind. The lyrics made me just think of certain parts in Ouran, so the scene choice is based on the lyrics, not giving character-parts equality xD (I actually wanted to include more characters than just the Host Club, but I only got to include Neko and his sister D:). I also matched the Japanese seiyuus voices from the Ouran anime/Climax Drama CD with the correct scene/words, something I've been wanting to do for so long 8DD I'm so happy I managed to do it!
The song was inspired by this absolutely-positively amazing HIMYM video *A* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMGNGzZUod0&feature=channel_video_title If I can touch someone half as much as the way that the video made an impact on me (watched this 10+ times and I'm still tearing up ;w;) then I'd be the happiest person!
Any text left in was done so intentionally - the text in manga is just as important as the images, especially for Ouran. Which is also why I've been struggling to edit with Ouran this year; with my new style, it's more about clean editing and less text-bubbles, but Ouran has a lot of text in comparsion to other mangas, so it makes it harder to edit with at times.
AND FINALLY, I want to dedicate this to AA (dengekiDAlSY) and Chrissy (TheSummelBaerli) for being the most amazing friends!!! *cheesiness mode on* I only met you guys this year but now I can't imagine a life without you guys ;w; It's been a more challenging year than most, and you've both helped in ways more than I can explain. Thank you so much for being there for me during this bittersweet-life-of-a-year. I love you ♥ ♥ ♥
This'll be the last MMV from me this year (hopefully you'll see two completed MEPs from me in the near future!). I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and are excitedly preparing for a new year!! Thanks for all your support, comments and messages this year! They really mean a lot to me ♥
* LONG DESCRIPTION OVER * ..thanks for reading that all if you did x3

SONG: Bittersweet Life, My Favorite Highway
MANGA: Ouran Host Club, Bisco Hatori
LAYERS: 36
NOTE: 39th MMV, completed 26/12/11.Book of Lovemysticalmists2011-11-30 | "Say goodnight our first goodbye I've only got forever and forever is fine."
I have a feeling you'll watch this in AM hours since you have messed up sleeping patterns haha. So I'M THE FIRST ONE TO WISH YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY COS IT'S LIKE SO EARLY IN THE MORNING, THE DAY HASN'T EVEN STARTED.
Since our friendship seems to go both ways, you get two messages for your birthday:
1. Amusing birthday message: Hot damn woman, it's finally your birthday! Now that you're eighteen, you'd better ring up the retirement home and book a spot in there - demonstrate your hip-thrusting and capering, there's no way they'd refuse you. Thank you for allowing me to be both your stalker and stalkee - here's to your next year - may it be full of knobbly-knees, roaches and long PMS!
2. Sentimental birthday message: Happy 18th birthday, my AA battery! Thank you for being you - you're such a strong person that can overcome seriously anything. You've helped me so much; allowing me to spam you 24/7, dealing with my stupidity and getting me through rough patches (and more than just those horrid insect incidents). Most of all, you've made me laugh and cry (both cases can be seen in the "my ideal man meeting" story xDDD) and for that, I love you. A lot. /ends the cheesiness.
About the video - I don't know if you like the song, but I was trying so hard to edit with a song that you love - like "Book of Love" (hence the deceiving title ohoho - sorry to dash your hopes - also, if you compiled all our PMS, it would make a Book of Love..N'AWWW x3) or any of those songs you sent me ages ago to listen to - but none of them worked for me T____T And if I could have done a funny DD vid, I would have xDD But you're the expert at that, so I'll be waiting for yours *stares* Enjoy the sappy lovey-dovey side of DD instead xDD
Last thing - there are a number of lines quoted from Dengeki Daisy - representation of our friendship :) Strictly platonic though, keep yo pants on woman, don't get any ideas HAHAHA.
I did this vid in about 10 hours with dying inspiration (three birthdays in three weeks kills me x____x) so it's really not that fantastic (*sob*). I wanted to make it longer as well...But I gave up reading Froi to make this SO BE GRATEFUL BIATCH (although tbh Froi is still boring my pants off). I'll send you a proper present..Pocky and all! ;D
OK, I think I just wrote another essay as usual for you, so I'm going to leave it at that and get some sleep =w= Have a fantabulous day!! Talk soon ♥
----
And FYI, from here until the end of the year, the only thing I'll be working on are MEP parts - unless I get a sudden bout of inspiration.
Sarah!! Happy 18th birthday! You're officially a legit adult now hahaha! I hope you have an absolutely fantastic day, you definitely deserve it! ;w;
This mmv - IT IS ALL AKIZUKI SORATA. JUST FOR YOU. Since you're her biggest fangirl and all ;D (I included some Ryuu for you too :3) And the song - I know we planned to use it for our collab, but since we never got round to doing much of it (sorry! xD), I figured I could use it for your birthday! Sorry for cutting it so short - I've been so busy that I had to do this vid in a day and a half @____@
Anyways, happy birthday again! I hope this year is one filled with lots of amazing and exciting times...believe in yourself and do your best! Love you! ♥
---
To everyone else: sorry for my away-ness online lately, I've been really busy so I haven't had that much time or energy to reply people! I'll get onto it sometime in the next week, hopefully! Thanks for waiting for me!
Also, I did the first track (not the opening scene with the petals, the one after it) in February and the rest just now - hope the difference between my editing styles aren't too distracting xD I really want to do a mmv-editing progression video, to show how much my editing's changed/improved haha..hmm..OK, I'm rambling here, sorry, I'm really tired =w=

SONG: The Writer, Ellie Goulding
MANGA: All created by Akizuki Sorata - listed in order of appearance - Ryuu no Moriuta, Vahlia No Hanamuko, Akagami no Shirayukihime, Ginsekai no Shoumei
NOTE: 37th MMV, completed 25/11/11.[ALS] More To Memysticalmists2011-10-25 | "Cos you're a part of me and I want you to succeed."
A Kurosaki/Teru mmv. //Contains spoilers up to chapter 43//
EDIT: Most unimpressed by the choice of crappy thumbnails xD
WOW. I can't believe I finished it - I did this video in pretty much 24 hours..And it's like, almost 3 minutes long! I haven't had any editing inspiration for the last few months really, so it's been nice getting some :DD There are still some bits that are kinda rough though..sorry about that ^^;
So I'm supposed to be on hiatus cos I've got exams starting next week + a paper to write for this Friday..And this is how I use my time instead xDDD I just love "study" week..
Anyways, moving on from my studying fail - I /finally/ finished a proper Dengeki Daisy video! I did another one almost a year ago ("Crack the Shutters"), but it didn't really emphasise the "darker" side of Dengeki Daisy which I think this one does more. I've been wanting to make a Dengeki Daisy tribute for a while now :)
The song is so perfect for Kurosaki and Teru *A* The first verse/chorus is from Kurosaki's perspective; he's always there for Teru no matter what, "I will stay, I won't go away". The second verse/part of the chorus is from Teru's perspective, "I've found nothing but fear since you first disappeared" (mainly centering around chps 34-39) and then it goes back to Kurosaki's perspective for a bit too~
This video is dedicated to my Youtube family - Chrissy, amose (I finally named you, take it however you want xDDD), Cony, Sarah and Tweety. Thank you all for being supportive and understanding, even when we don't always talk all the time. You mean a lot to me ♥
It's a relatively simplistic video, but I hope the emotions of the song/manga come across..I think I've had these emotions pent up inside of me since all the chapters came out xDD Btw, any text in the video was left intentionally cos it relates to the idea/plot :)
Well I should be away (but still lurking) over the next few weeks cos I really should be studying =3= I finish exams on 10th November, so til then, thank you in advance for comments, I'll reply them all later ^^
"I'll spend forever wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you."
// BE WARY OF THE CRACK \\ -- there's "spoilers" from the latest chapters of DD and the end of Ouran.
Yes...I'm sure all of you will know this is crack. But really, Tamaki and Teru kinda COULD be a real couple - I've been re-reading Dengeki Daisy (as procrastination, especially since so many new chapters have come out!) and in chp 22, the little author's note mentions that Teru likes Japanese dramas and history...LIKE TAMAKI. YEAH. So that totally make this crack legit.
This one's for stalker uncle whose name shall not be disclosed for fear of further stalkings from knobbly-kneed, hip-thrusting freaks. Thanks for being awesome - more to say but I know how you love PMS (ohoho) so I'll save it for them.
This is a one-day edit.. and probably the worst time for me to be editing cos this is the busiest Uni week I have, and I actually have an assignment due tmrw which I haven't finished, and it's 1am...but it's been a really crap week, shit hitting the fan all over the place and huh, it's only Monday. So I needed to edit something cheerful before I drown.
Anyways, hope it makes you lol a bit, don't take it too seriously haha. Special thanks to Haruhi and Kurosaki for loaning their bodies for the vid.
NOTE: 35th MMV, completed 27/9/11[ALS] Turn to Stonemysticalmists2011-09-13 | "I know that I am nothing new."
Sarah sweetie, this is for you. I only got the chance to watch your video this morning (at Uni xD) and it really affected me cos I could feel your emotions behind it a lot ;w;
I used AnS (of course!) because just thinking about AnS makes me think of you, and I know how much you love it..I hope you like the song too. I've got a feeling you might be an Ingrid Michaelson fan x3
Sorry this is really simple and short, I couldn't spend as long as I wanted on it cos I have an assignment due D: But if this cheers you up even just a little bit, I'll be really happy!! I put in a quote from chapter 14 - I hope it gives you courage and strength ♥
I don't know exactly all the difficult things you're going through at the moment, but I want you to know that I'm here for you if you need me!! You've always supported me right from the start, and you mean a lot to me as a friend - I love you lots and lots ♥ ♥
This one's for ALS cos it's from the heart, and it represents why I love editing so much - cos I can convey my feelings through a video ;w;
A Sukitte Ii Na Yo mmv~ //Contains spoilers up to chapter 17//
YAAAAAAAAAAY, I finally got some inspiration for editing! I started around a week ago, at the beginning of my (way too short) said week holiday ..I've got 1 day left D: But I'm glad to have finished this one before I go back!
I probably could've made this longer - I do love the song - but there is just waaaaay too much instrumental for a lazy person like me to work with xD Plus, I suck at long-term projects - I always end up never finishing them xDD Which explains the lack of Ouran vids lately ;w; I'm working on a few currently! If I ever get round to finishing one is another question =__=
I WANT MOAR OF THIS MANGA *A* This video has a lot of random elements and experimentations..tried a lot of new things here, inspired by watching lots of my fave mmvs *O* Excuse the crappy animation attempts - it's my first timing trying x3 (thanks Chrissy for the tips!) Ohh, and the "pepper spray" is Mei's little buzzer thing that she pulls out whenever Yamato's sexual advances freak her out x3
Anyways..sleepy time. I'll get round to replying PMs/comments in the next few days! ♥

SONG: Deer in the Headlights, Owl City
MANGA: Sukitte Ii Na Yo, Hazuki Kanae
NOTE: 33rd MMV, completed 11/9/11.[ALS] Its OKmysticalmists2011-09-03 | "What kind of blue are you?"
So this is like, really short. So shoot me. WITH INSPIRATION GAHHH. Seriously, I need song suggestions that give me inspiration so if you have any, spam me please? I think I've forgotten how to edit - I sit at the computer with SV open for like half and hour and I'm like, "..............." HELP ME T___T
Then, cos the one-shot was well, a one-shot, there wasn't anymore material to use for the rest of the song - so I planned to use other Ichikawa Shou's works (she's written a whole bunch of one-shots/short stories - they all have really cute, fluffy shoujo plots with a small twist to them~) But then I left it for a couple of months, and I re-opened it today and found I really couldn't be bothered to do anymore xD
So yeah, technically this should be uploaded on my back-up account (where I upload betas and unfinished shiz) but I'm proud of what I did manage to do so here it is on my main account :P
"Show you what it feels like, to be hugged, to be kissed, be thought of and to be missed."
A TamaHaru mmv. //Contains spoilers//
Wow. I can't believe I actually finished this video - I started it in MARCH. I actually did most of it in March, and then I lost inspiration for the ending, so it's been gathering dust on my desktop for the last 4 months...Did I find any inspiration to finish this? Nope, I just cut the song xD
It's been a while since I've uploaded anything - or for that matter, edited anything properly, and even now I'm sort of still feeling "meh" to editing..but I had an urge to upload something and this was the only thing that was near completion (I've got a million other 5 second projects though :P)
This is a temporary birthday present for Cony and Chrissy~ Two wonderful girls that I love!!
Cony - hey dearest daughter, I'm so sorry it's been so long since your birthday and I STILL haven't made you a decent birthday video *shot* Inspiration keeps going AWOL on me so I haven't edited much at all ;w; I hope you liked the birthday MEP track I made for you though! x3 Promise I'll make you a present to be proud of as soon as I can! Thanks for being my oldest friend here on YT..Love you long time ♥
Chrissy - my dear fangirl twin!! Your birthday's lurking round the corner and is making me feel nervous cos I don't have anything ready for your birthday!! *cries* I know you understand my angst towards editing atm, but I still feel bad regardless!! Expect a video of epic proportions sometime!!..when editing becomes addictive for me again x3 Thank you for being such a wonderful friend..I'm so thankful that we met!! Love you to bits ♥
...Anyways, not sure when my next upload will be cos Uni's loading heaps of work on already and I'm not really in the editing zone u__u But I hope you enjoy this one, for what's it's worth :) I miss TamaHaru *sob*
And also - 700+ subs? Thank you so much ;w;
...OK, 1am with Uni tmrw? Bedtime x__x Til next time~ (ahh btw my Channel Comment box is back up :3)
My first Sukitte Ii Na Yo mmv! YamotoxMei~ //Contains spoilers up to chapter 16//
♥ Dedicated to Chrissy - thank you so much for introducing me to this lovely manga and being my shoujo-loving, fangirl-perv twin! And also for the constant inspiration (I can't wait to see your shoujo mmv complete *O*)
Found out about this lovely little manga a couple of months ago, and it's one of those rare shoujo mangas that I actually look forward to for the next chapter x3 Beware of smutty scenes though.. (I read it at http://manga.animea.net/suki-tte-ii-na-yo.html?skip=1)
Still waiting for inspiration to strike me for all my Ouran vids...making this however, was really enjoyable and I tried to make the transitions seamless..or something like that xD Masking Yamoto's hair though..he's even worse than Kurosaki xD
Two weeks til exams and I'm procrastinating making this?! ...arghhh *scuttles back to hiatus*
P.S. Thank you for 600+ subs!! ---

A TamaHaru mmv. //Contains spoilers//
Yes..so beware of spoilers from the end of the series + special chapters released :) Omari Sister's has retired the scanlations, but you might be able to find it on manga-hosting websites. I've got lots of mmvs ideas relating to these scans :) Hatori Bisco is a god ♥
Thank you to everyone who watched and commented on "Fragile" - I won't reply you individually because I don't want to get into details about the emoness I was in, but I really really appreciate all your concerns and thoughts!!! I'm a really lucky person. Special thank you to Cony: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgtWFbWg5Jc&feature=channel_video_title
This video is special to me for a lot of reasons. It's a one day project cause I have a lot of work to do though ^^; If you hadn't guessed, the fabulous singer of this wonderful song is Vanessa Carlton ♥ I COMMAND YOU TO BUY THIS SINGLE!! *O* http://bit.ly/CarouseliTunes It's a really gorgeous track that speaks to me of acceptance, renewal and picking yourself up. I swear I've listened to almost non-stop over the last few days..
"Rabbits on the Run" will be released on the 26th July and will be even more wonderful...also check out Vanessa's website - the rabbit is on the run! ;D http://vanessacarlton.com
Finally, thank you also for 550+ subs! This is something truly amazing, so thank you very much!
"This is how I feel inside." Just going through some stupid stuff at the moment, vent video.
Thank you: - To Sunny for always being there ♥ - To Tweety for caring and for the epic posting - To Chrissy for caring, the constant inspiration and the Skype talks - To Tami for the really sweet message on my journal - To Sarah for thinking of me while I was gone - To Iru for understanding my angst
..And thank you guys, for 500+ subs..I was thinking of closing this account but I think for the time being, it'll stay.
A TamaHaru mmv. //Contains spoilers up to Chp 83//
Ughh I haven't made a proper TamaHaru vid since November last year T___T *out of touch*
I've been re-reading Ouran lately (instead of studying...up to volume 11 yeahhh) so was vaguely inspired..although like Chrissy knows, I really just want to make a Mori tribute haha!
Sorry if this one seems a little rushed and things (whee flying stars xDD)..and it's so short OTL. The aim was to keep it at a one-day project: I've started Uni again so I really don't have time to edit anymore (or rather, I shouldn't..Not that knowing that has stopped me xDD), so I thought I'd try and do a short TamaHaru mmv quickly~
I'm not really happy with this vid (it didn't come out the way I wanted it to) but I hope you guys enjoy it regardless - the song is by the awesome band "He Is We" (I've been working on another mmv which uses one of their songs - kudos to you if you can guess which one! ;D)..check out their album "My Forever" and their demos too!!
So yes, did this in about half a day (when I should've been catching up on work gahh) - the beginning part was something different (well, at least I tried to make it different), but the end part ended up being kinda boring and normal of my stupid mask-everything-to-eternity style /fail..I really need to work on transitions..
No more vids from me for a while, I think. In all seriousness, I really need to do well this semester. Apologies if you're waiting for anything from me, e.g. replies, videos, etc - SLEEP IS CALLING ME. FAREWELL.
P.S. Sorry for my weirdness and complaining about Uni here D:
Also...keep Japan in your thoughts. The news just keeps getting worse so they need all our prayers. I honestly can't comprehend it - everytime I see footage on TV of the tsunamis or the rubble from the earthquakes, I get goosebumps...I still cant believe it.

A Yano/Nana-chan mmv //Contains spoilers//
So..those who stalk me would know that I recently got into "Bokura ga Ita" (aka, "We Were There")..seriously one of the saddest and epic-est (I deem that a word now) mangas I've read, simply because of all the heartbreak and betrayal in it. But addictive. Serious love-hate relationship with this manga.
Not sure how many of you have read this series, but this one's more for me - needed to get it out of my system cause I've subconsciously been slightly depressed after reading it (DAMN YOU YANO!), so here's a mmv using the series~ Hope it doesn't depress you guys ^^; (or put you to sleep, if it's a little slow x3) In a weird way, it was fun to edit with such a sad song for once..this was another of the songs I was thinking of editing with while overseas..
If you want to read it, just be aware that some of the (crucial) chapters are missing online D: I was lucky enough to read it volume-form in the bookstore so I know what was going on, and then downloaded RAWs to make the vid..or there's the anime too :)
Actually managed to get a decent amount of inspiration making this, which was a pleasant surprise...Marvel with me, it's my first video in ages that's over 2 minutes! :DD (ignore the fact that that's probably because it's a slow song :P) But yeah, before this, I'd been blankly opening Sony Vegas and staring at the screen, trying to will a mmv into existence ..I have so many songs I want to do but can't seem to get the inspiration wheels turning D: /rambling
A million apologies to people waiting on channel replies from me - blame this vid + holiday/social life for not getting to them sooner xDD I'll have epic-reply time soon, promise ♥
ANYWHO, much as I'd love to continue, I'd better conclude (it's 2am here xD)..but before I do, just like to point out that the random thing at 0:46+ is a train xD Just in case you can't tell..idea there directly from the manga. And also, ILY Gaussian blur xD
Thanks to my dear (real!) mum for giving me editing tips! ;D
So I did short video to this song when Ouran 81 came out, cause I was so happy..and over the last week as I replayed the song over and over, I realised how well it actually fits with Tamaki and Haruhi..So please enjoy this extended version! x3
I managed to cram almost all my fave TamaHaru moments into this 3 minute video, so I'm sorry if it moves really fast xD (heh heh, I added my fave part of the chapter in at the end~!) Had such fun making this, though it was kinda weird cause I had sudden bouts of inspiration for random bits of the song, so in the end it was like I was filling in a mmv-making jigsaw puzzle x3 And the hardest part were the short instrumental bits - usually instrumentals are the easiest for me xD
Some of us on the FRoP forums are sending fanmail to Hatori Bisco in thanks for Ouran..you're more than welcome to join us if you wish! Just comment me and let me know :)
Oh, and kudos to you if you can notice the very slight changes I made to the end part compared to the original, and if you know all the chapters from which all the scenes come from ;)
