(if you don't like voice-over overuse, you should probably skip the first 50 sec. herpderp. and yes, I am aware some (voice/)clips are re-used. that was intentional.)
If you know me, you probably know how in love I am with complicated characters, and therefore Azula.The point I'm trying to make in this video, is showing you how much Azula's actions, feelings, emotions are influenced by others, Ursa especially. Azula has always believed Ursa thought she was a monster. Children in particular are overly vulnerable to things like this: they go and act the way others expect them to, what's the point in proving them wrong? If think say so, it's probably true. So Azula made it true. Of course, Ozai plays a big part in it as well (which I probably haven't portrayed very well), he's always made sure Azula got what she wanted, used and developed her talent: giving Azula the (seemingly) control she wanted. Though he probably did this for all the wrong reasons, for making her a useful puppet in time of need. Obviously Ozai's side was right for her: what would you choose if you didn't know any better, people who think you're a monster, or people who think you're a prodigy? Ursa, Mai & Ty Lee all loved Zuko more than her. She had her father, until Zuko got redeemed to him too. Her father uses HER plan, but refuses to take her with him, giving her the position of Firelord. That should be everything she could wish for, right? No. Azula has always tried for love and loyalty. She cared about her friends in her own way, but she didn't know how to handle with them since she takes example of what her father showed her. If you've never learned the true concept of other people's feelings, you're not going to understand them. Suddenly she sees betrayal everywhere. Confused with uncertainty she desperately tries to regain control again. But fails. And then Ursa appears to her in a vision. The only thing she thought still made sense - that she is, in fact, a monster - is contradicted by the statement of love by the only person she truly thought hated her. And that blow made her world cave in. Zuko may not always have had his honor, but he had everything Azula needed. I hope you enjoyed my Azula creys. Song choice? Well this song rips my heart out, and so does Azula, so it's basically a match made in heaven. I chose this version because I'm working on a video with the other one, and if it'll ever get done, at least there'll be a little bit of diversity.

It’s difficult to show the immense journey Max has been through in all of Black Sails in a 4 minute video. I was compelled to try and capture at least some of the most important points following that amazing scene in 4x08. She rose to the top, got the opportunity of a lifetime, the one she’d been striving for for such a long time, but along the way she realized how empty that vision of home would be if she wouldn’t be with someone she loved. She witnessed the violence and anger in Nassau and all she wanted was for the cycle to end. Through perseverance she succeeded and never once did she resort to violence.
It is of course more complicated than that, but this is Black Sails and it’s pretty impossible to accentuate all 150 layers that make its characters what they are. Anyway, I love Max a lot and so should you. What a character. What a journey. What a story of survival. I’m so proud of her.Silver & Flint - And So It GoesAviiAvatar032017-01-15 | [Spoilers up to season 3]
I spoke to you in cautious tones You answered me with no pretense And still I feel I said to much My silence is my self-defense
Another video I made last year, another one of those “I don’t know if I should post this because none of my subs watch Black Sails because it is highly underrated and for some reason unpopular? Why is this show so unpopular? It’s the best written show on television right now? Season 3 was the best piece of television to come out of 2016? I don’t understand?” But a couple of people seemed to like the last one, so here it is :) The idea came to me totally out of the blue and I think it came out making a lot more sense than I thought it would. The thing I was trying to focus on is Flint choosing to trust Silver with his thoughts and his past, even though he has his doubts. This song’s phrasing was just too perfect to get that point across. Considering we have no way to know what s4 has in store for these two, I like the ambiguity of the big talk scene of ep 3x10, so I played with that a little. I know by now Luke Arnold has partly clarified what he thought the scene meant for Silver, but I didn’t know that at the time I made the video, so… vagueness it is! Or alternatively: it’s Flint’s pov, so what does he know? You decide.
I’m aware the show probably isn’t going to go the romantic route with these two (?? I mean. You never know. It is Black Sails, after all), but I do feel like a one-sided Flint likes Silver is pretty near to being canon right now, which is why I felt this song could be considered appropriate even though it’s romancy. I do actually have another video planned that explores their actual dynamic a lot more than this one does - at least, I think it will - but it’s a hard one and I think I’ll wait for s4 to come out to finish it so I can include the full journey.
Hello I’m still alive and making videos! Sort of. I’d been trying to finish one last year but it wasn’t really working. Except for when this idea popped into my head one morning and I finished it in the same day?? It was weird. It took me nine months to post it on here though, oops. I really love Black Sails these days and I actually have another couple of (partly done) projects lined up, but I’m not sure when or if I’ll be posting/finishing them. In the next few years or so. I don’t know, I’m not good at finishing videos anymore. Also Sony Vegas is being super crashy and annoying.
Black Sails is so incredibly good at writing complex characters and relationships, with multiple layers and very different facets, and they also make a habit of having long meaningful scenes with long takes which makes it a terrific show to watch (for me, at least) but kind of a difficult show to edit! My editing skills are obviously quite rusty, and I didn’t want to make this effect heavy or cut certain scenes too short because I think it wouldn’t do their scenes justice. All this is meant to show is the amazing bond they have formed through trust, love and acceptance. Like I said, this is not at all the entirety of their relationship, but I’m having trouble coming up with something that would get all of it in one video. I do want to try though, one day :) Once the final season is out maybe.
Thanks for watching, sorry this isn’t atla, but I hope those few watching this will enjoy it!
(Also, do yourselves a favor and watch some Black Sails)Iroh - Shake Me DownAviiAvatar032015-02-15 | "I'll keep my eyes fixed on the sun."
Remember that time I promised BentPaperClip an Iroh video?? Yeah, here it is. Only one and a half years late. It took me a while to find the right song, because I had to find one without it making me focus solely on his relationship with Zuko, and I didn't want it to be completely angsty either because that's not who Iroh is. I was obsessed with this song a few years back. Though it talks about sad things it's got a positive message, which is why I chose it in the end. Iroh's overcome several heartaches and lost basically everything he could've lost (except for Zuko), and he's so knowledgeable of the things that really matter because of it. He only uses violence when it really matters (let's all remember he was an general at some point) and he has learned to appreciate the beauty in life just for what it is. By far the most inspirational but underappreciated character of atla, as his arc is very much a crutch of Zuko's (which made this very hard not to turn into zuzu time). I also felt like adding those few seconds of Toph in there were necessary, as that little talk altered both their paths so massively (Iroh went on to learn how to let go of Zuko and trust he'd find his own way, Toph learned how to accept and appreciate help and care from others). The reason this video took me so long was that I was never happy about the editing, but I'm just so done with it now and I want to move on. All I want this to do now is get the message across and have an Iroh video existing in the world. Yay Iroh! And I think that's it. Sorry for the long silence between videos, and a huge thank you to those who've continued showing interest in my videos, it means a lot. I hope you'll enjoy!
Also happy (few days early) 10 year anniversary ATLA!Les Amis de lABC - Soldier OnAviiAvatar032014-02-06 | "Keep your heart close to the ground." [HD pretty please]
As you can see in the end credits, I finished this a couple of months ago. I don't really know why this was one of the few things I've finished over the last year that I couldn't bring myself to upload, but because it's been a while since my last upload I figured I'd just put something up anyway, and this song has just always been so fantastic to me, so you know, even if next to no one's going to see this thanks to google+, why not. I don't know for sure if this song is really appropriate if you look at the brick version of les amis, considering they all knew what they were in for and they went willingly, and they weren't as fearful and 'schoolboys who never held a gun' esque as they were in the movie version, but in the movie this song seems to fit perfectly, in my opinion. I hope you'll enjoy!Jinora - They all in the end will fallAviiAvatar032013-11-18 | "Not you." SPOILERS FOR THE SEASON 2 FINALE!! Please watch in HD :) Tumblr post: http://aviiavatar.tumblr.com/post/67384095286 Tumblr: http://aviiavatar.tumblr.com Video masterpost: http://aviiavatar.tumblr.com/vidmasterpost FAQ: http://aviiavatar.tumblr.com/FAQ Back-up: http://www.youtube.com/user/AviiAvatar04
So exactly no one is surprised at me enjoying the Jinora storyline cause I've been whining about wanting one all season to anyone willing to listen AND THEN SHE BASICALLY SAVES THE DAY. YEAH. More Jinora next season. And more daddy Tenzin moments cause it makes my heart ache. Please.
Apparently a lot of people are still confused about what exactly happened with Jinora floating in the air in a ball of light, here's my take on it: Jinora is the literal light in the dark. She was the one that survived the Fog of Lost Souls (can't get much darker than that), and she was the one that fully understood how the spirit world could get affected by her. Little bit like Iroh. When she 'transcended' from the spirit world to the mortal world, she shone her light in the darkness which awakened Raava. Have we forgotten what happened when Aang's body was misplaced and he flew over to it like a falling shining star? Maybe that's just what happens when people's souls with strong connection to the spiritworld get to the mortal world without their body.
The season overall was alright. The Wan stuff was incredible, and I liked the spirit stuff near the end of the season (even if some of the decisions the writers made completely diminished the bases of fundamental plotlines in atla - just don't do that, guys. It's not necessary). Also IROH (the original one)! We missed you buddy. Still secretly hoping they'll hire more writers like they did with atla cause that clearly worked out a lot better. But I got my Asami kicking ass (very very briefly) and Jinora's storyline which was all I was hoping for so I can't complain. Much. Yay avatar!Aang & Sokka - Weve made the mostAviiAvatar032013-08-28 | HAPPY BIRTHDAY MALOU! http://www.youtube.com/user/Miilru
My second attempt at promoting my favorite underappreciated friendship on this show. Remember how with my first attempt 3 years ago ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Yv77T2Qn58 if you missed it) I challenged you people to make sokka & aang vids with me? DO YOU? BECAUSE I DO. AND I SAW NOTHING. And I just do not understand the lack of videos for them because they're so much fun to make? You can do angst and tears, funny things, brotherly loving all in one project and no one even attempts it?? Geesh. Apparently it's up to myself alone for now so well there you go :P But you are all missing out on some serious fun times man. (if you have made something though message me I'd like to see it!) Completely in love with Radical Face songs right now *o* I'm not sure if I managed to convey my initial interpretation of this song, which is a shame because the meaning is oh so beautiful (and heartbreaking, really). I didn't really know if I had to concentrate on just Aang and Sokka's relationship to get my point across, or if I could add in the 'ghosts' and other relationships that defined who they were and what they wanted, but I think these other connections also show how Aang and Sokka have a lot of things in common, meaning they have a lot of ways to relate to each other, which is only one of the many reasons that makes this friendship so great.
Onto the birthday girl: It's been only three years since we've met and honestly, I can't quite understand how I haven't known you for much longer. Wow. I didn't upload anything on our official anniversary because I'm just not as good at vidding regularly as I used to be, so I hope this is okay for now :) Even though you believe about as much in celebrating birthdays as I do, I hope you have a good one, eat some cake, do something you like to do and smile because your friends love you and we all love that smile :) ((ps may your days be filled with sunshine as you can finally watch the age restricted videos on youtube good luck)) (sorry, had to turn down the cheesy) (... love you)
Special dedication to Tash/ravenroi, because immediately after the finale of korra aired last year I started this and I'm pretty sure you were the one I talked to about this particular project and you were excited about it and I felt really bad for abandoning it, so when I thought of a video for your birthday, I thought I'd try revisit the project. I also think it was about time I finished a proper LoK video but my inspiration is kind of dead for it.. sorry about that. I'm trying, this video being the evidence! (and yes the date is technically correct cause that's when I finished it (sort of) but I just wanted to wait for Tash's birthday)
This isn't a really fancy video and it doesn't make much sense story wise either but GOD IT WAS DIFFICULT because I didn't want the focus to be on the ~romantic relationships/triangles/whatever~ in this show due to the fact they do not interest me (so far) but I ended up using some of them anyway because otherwise there'd basically be next to no Bolin OR Mako OR Asami OR Lin or anyone's angst that I could relate to this song.. except for Korra & Tenzin but there wasn't enough for that :/ So yes act like this is focused on (mostly the struggles of) friends and family and character growth (maybe??) and I'll be happy.
ANYWAY to all the birthday peeps, I love you guys tooooons each of you is absolutely amazing and thank you for being there when times are hard and also when they're not thank you thank you thank you for existing I hope you'll all have great birthdays with lots of love and birthday cakes and just general happiness :D
Thank you all for reading my nonsense and I hope you like the video! ^-^Enjolras - I Gave You AllAviiAvatar032013-04-10 | "Well, now you've won." [pretty please watch in HD :3] Tumblr post: http://aviiavatar.tumblr.com/post/47619595683
Finally, after years of adoring and worshipping this song, and failing attempts to edit it time after time because the subjects just never felt right, I think I got the dramatic character I wanted for it. I have no idea if it got over-vidded at some point but this song is my heart and soul (it has been my channel quote for a couple of accounts now for a reason) so I just really wanted to use it. I did feel bad about cutting the song (and in an awful way, so sorry about that ;-;) so maybe, there'll be another igya video at some point with the full song..
Anyways, as I promised, here's my Enjolras tribute! I felt the song fitted because it talks of injustice, trying to stay strong, and giving everything to someone in vain; in this case the someone is France, the revolution. Enjolras put his everything into the revolution, even when it was clear they were not going to survive nor win it because the people of Paris would not rise with them, he felt his hope slip away while friend after friend died for it, he kept giving everything he had until the very end.
I might make another video focused on more of les amis de l'ABC, but first I'm moving on to an Éponine one once I find a good song, cause some people wanted to see that. But I'm also working on another les mis project.. I think it's fair to say you'll see more les mis from me in the future. Hope you'll enjoy! ^-^Avatar TLA - We Might FallAviiAvatar032013-03-26 | "Dancing for the stars, maybe one will look on down and tell us who we are" The video on tumblr: http://aviiavatar.tumblr.com/post/46368147873
Because Ryan Star's songs are beautiful. I've been wanting to edit to this song for a while, but I'm not all that good at editing on repetitive lyrics. I think I sort of managed though :) It's funny how even though you pretty much always make full, considerably long videos, there just never seems to be enough space for your ideas.
I saw this song in a light of failing, but trying again. We might fall, and if we do we'll get up again because we have our friends. Maybe they won't always be there, we might lose people and things along the way, they're still in our hearts, and if we keep moving, we'll come to a better place.
2x20: "Sometimes life is like this dark tunnel, you can't always see the light at the end of the tunnel. But if you just keep moving, you will come to a better place."
2x04: "In the swamp we see visions of people we've lost [...] We're still connected to them."
I hope you'll enjoy!! ^-^Avatar TLA - Come Undone CollabAviiAvatar032013-03-21 | [HD pretty please :3] Hey guys! After ages of wanting to collab together, my friends and I finally found the time and the right song to make one. We tried to make it as character driven as possible, showing some of the hardships they carry with them since childhood. We hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it :)
[warning for red, the blood of angry men. also death. also tears. a lot of tears.]
If you know me well, you probably know how much I've adored musicals ever since I was little. The biggest problem with musicals is: you can't edit them. Movie adaptations of musicals are often just not the same, they don't convey the same emotions because of the huge difference between theatre and film. Even though I don't think this adaptation was perfect, it amazed me nonetheless. Great acting and beautiful scenery made it very enjoyable to me. :)
When I was about 12 years old I learned "On My Own" for my singing lessons, and because of that Éponine became a character that interested me. So I kind of wanted to make a tribute to her, or maybe to Enjolras or Gavroche, but when this song came on itunes shuffle I knew I had to make this first. I tried my best to give most of the main characters their moment and keep my preferences to myself, but I don't think I succeeded xD At least I tried.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy! ^-^
( Sorry it's been a while, but I promise there are still multiple ATLA videos in the making! :D )[Lost] Alex & Ben - Maybe you were the oceanAviiAvatar032013-02-21 | ... when I was just a stone.
So yes, I watched all of lost in about a week, about two weeks ago, and I have to say, it's been an absolute thrill to watch it for the very first time. :') I was planning to put all of my reasoning for choosing this song for these two in here, explaining why I think the ocean and stone metaphor and the song in general is absolutely perfect, but I got way too excited and couldn't stop typing pages full of gibberish, and really, nobody wants to read that. So make of it as you will, I hope I got my point across, and I hope you'll enjoy! ^-^ Voice-over at the beginning and a couple of clips are from a deleted scene of season 3 (which is why the quality is awful).
[EDIT] Okay I decided to put the most important part here anyway, if only for my own amusement.
"Maybe you were the ocean when I was just a stone." This line rings perfect to them for me in many ways. Ben took Alex for granted in a way, she was always there supporting his humanity (the ocean is life, it's moving, it's everywhere but it can't conquer an entire island, it comes and goes in its impact). But Ben was just too stubborn, unable to see any route deferring from what he was told to do, being a part of something that's much greater than him (which he realizes he has just a very little part in: just a stepping stone). Alex keeps flowing trying to move/change him or the things he does, telling him how immoral he is, asking why he can't just let other people be, but she doesn't see any change.
I also think you interpreted the lyric in a cause-effect way: when you throw a stone in the water, the water will ripple, but the stone won't be affected. She keeps being put in the middle of Ben's problems, she's the one getting hurt by his actions, his enemies and his mistakes, because she's his weakness. Her being his weakness has also saved her a couple of times in a way, so when Whitmore's people attack, she tries to use it to her advantage, which was the fatal mistake. The one time she counted on Ben to help her, and he failed. He tried desperately, but his power was too important to him. So when he interpreted from Jacob's reaction "What about you?" that it didn't really matter anyway, he didn't matter, he sank. Ultimately, Alex was the thing capable of changing him, and Ben was just a pawn. (Thank you to Anthony helping and listening to me work this out for myself xD)
"And no man is an island, oh this I know" In this case I interpreted an island as something that doesn't need any connections to other life, something that's completely self-sufficient. Everyone has its weakness, a connection that's important to them, something to lose. In Ben's case, it was Alex.
Testing my new computer & sony vegas :) This short film was absolutely beautiful and adorable, been stuck with this song in my head since the Silver Linings Playbook trailer (which is a great movie as well, by the way, go watch it), so there you go. Huge thanks to Malou for helping me stay sane during all the installation drama yesterday (and today..)!
Hi guys :3 I'm sorry it's been a while.. I'm really doing my best but there are some things going on in my life right now that are not fun and my inspiration for videos is suffering because of it. But I promise I'll keep trying! This video was created to fulfill my want to make a friendship/family video, and this was the song that stuck in my head when I originally thought of the idea some time ago. There are some romantic ships in there, but I tried to keep the subject of those couples on the friendship side, the keyword being trust. But this song didn't allow me add do everything I wanted to add, so I'm going to attempt making another friendshippy tribute with more smiles and hugs and less tears.
Dedicated to my lovely little BIS family, for being there for me when I need someone to be there. I love you guys so much.
I hope everyone enjoys, thank you for watching! ^-^Belle/Rumpelstiltskin - Who will fall far behind?AviiAvatar032012-09-05 | "No one, no one can ever, ever love me."
Yay random video time! Yes, this is my favorite ouat ship. I love all the characters on the show, fairytales/disney mean a lot to me, and this is why I'm so interested in what the show does with these stories. Beauty & The Beast is one of my favorite fairytales (I have many favs but it's on the list!), which is also why these two in particular gained my attention.
I regained love for this song because Tash asked me to sing it sometime. (I will try again once I get back my voice I promise :/) This one's for you, even if you don't remember whether you've watched the show or not x3

I was really scared to upload this cause there are barely any effects in there and I'm not sure if it's good enough to be uploaded, but my dears from BIS told me to do it anyway so THANK THEM This was. So much fun. To edit. It just all fitted together like a puzzle and IT JUST WORKED LIKE THAT OH MY GOD THIS WAS GREAT TO DO. I know I'm late with this.. and I was too scared to go look if other people already did this trailer with avatar so if you did and we happen to have similar clips, I'm so sorry, but I really didn't do that intentionally :/
I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow for two weeks, so I won't answer anyone during that time, obviously! Bye guys! Hope you'll enjoy! (and if I get deleted again during the vacation, which has happened more than once during my vacations as you may know, I'll just come back as AviiAvatar04.)
Oh and since I forgot to add info at the end, I used Sony Vegas 9.0 Pro to edit this and the audio from this trailer, which is like 150000x more epic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPoHPNeU9fcLin - Make it go awayAviiAvatar032012-06-18 | *SPOILERS UP TO EPISODE 10*
Sorry guys, Lin's my favorite. She's such a hero, so badass, TOPH FREAKING BEI FONG'S DAUGHTER OF COURSE I LOVE HER. So naturally I died when Amon took her bending (or blocked her chakra or whichever theory the fandom is on now). Why ;__; IT BETTER BE REVERSIBLE OK. THIS WOMAN HAS LOST EVERYTHING ELSE ALREADY. I wouldn't have thought Lin would be the subject of my first real Korra video, but well, when inspiration strikes I have to follow. CAN'T WAIT TILL SATURDAY. Also, I chose this song because I rediscovered it a few days ago because of a video (I already knew it for quite a while but it got lost in the jungle that is my ipod) and I strangely felt it fitted Lin.. really, really well? And I can't figure out what it is? I mean, I sort of know what it's really about, but the link with Lin and her sacrifice just makes so much sense to me for some reason. So.. if you find the song choice odd, it's probably my fault. It sort of created this headcanon (which may or may not be true based on what little we've seen of her) that all Lin wants to do is save people but she feels like she never does enough, things always go wrong, and she might feel at fault there. Make of that what you will I guess xD I hope you enjoy! ^-^Frau & Teito - Moving BackwardsAviiAvatar032012-06-13 | For Malou of course :3 TWO YEARS MY DEAR This has been one of my many unfinished malou projects for quite some time now, a lot of this was done last year (at first it was for the first year anniversary then for your birthday) but I just couldn't finish the video so I dropped it xD But now I was just like OKAY I REALLY HAVE TO NOW I CAN DO THIS and ehh.. this is what I ended up with. idk. ~I tried and therefore no one should criticize me~ I LOVE YOU MALOU :3Toph & Sokka - The battle isnt easily wonAviiAvatar032012-06-12 | "... but it can be won."
*READ PLEASE RE-UPLOAD INFO :3 Also, 720p is nice.* I'm still working on re-uploading videos, but I won't re-upload anything else on this account, except for the Arcana collab. The rest of the re-uploads will take place on my vimeo account. Message me if there still is a video that's not back yet which you really want to see (EXCEPT FOR ARCANA GUYS I KNOW YOU WANT ARCANA SHHH) and I'll put it on vimeo and I'll add the link to my masterpost.
I've been addicted to this song the past few weeks, and as I was looking for a song I could use for a short video to upload on June 12th to honor my upload-something-on-my-birthday tradition I thought this would be pretty fitting for Sokka. But since I really let down the Tokka lovers for quite some time (read: TWO FRIGGIN YEARS) I turned it into this x) Even if it doesn't have to be a real shipping video, it does show some of the more important sides to them that makes me love them as much as I do. I'm working on other Tokka projects but I have no idea if I'll finish any of them. I'm so sorry I haven't been active on here lately, there are just so many messages and don't have a clue of where to begin. I promise you I do read most of the messages I get from you. If you have questions, please check my FAQ first before asking, because I get the same questions over and over again and it would be easier for everybody to just read that first :3 If the answer's not on there, feel free to ask me anyway ;)
So of course this one's for my subbers, I've recently reached 1000 again, for which I thank you all so much. I've been working on (way too many) videos but it's just impossible to finish anything. I promise you I'm still trying, I really am. Yes, I'll vid Korra once I know how to finish something. Thank you so much for being patient :3
Also, next to all my subbers, I want to mention Justyna because I promised her to make something for her birthday (which was so long ago, I suck) but I failed to finish that project and I am so, so sorry for being absent for this long. I love you darling, I hope you're doing okay.
I LOVE YOU PEOPLE. SO MUCH. Thank you for being amazing.
I actually have no idea how this happened or why. I've been starting new projects nearly every day for the past few months, but I was never able to finish any of them due to lack of inspiration and I went on with a new one every time. This is the one I started yesterday. Yeah, what. I know this song might be overused, but it's been a very long time since I've seen a video on it, so here I am casually bringing it back. And I know that like a thousand couples and friendships on the show would've been a better fit on this song, this is what I ended up with. Why I got this one is finished over all of my other projects, I don't have a clue, I'd love to be all badass and say I like a challenge, but that would be a lie xD Anyway, this friendship is lovely, and since friendships are horribly under-vidded in this fandom (in most fandoms, really) I'm actually kind of glad I could finish this :3 I'm not sure where I was going with this either, it makes no sense whatsoever, it's like this weird mix of happy and sad, but that's generally the feeling I get from the song, so I guess it fits ;;
Also.. sorry about the end? I have a habit of turning that into an ending, seriously, at least 4 of my videos end that way. I think I have a problem.
I realize I should be vidding Korra, (which is completely epic and I'm so excited for the rest of the season) but like I said, my inspiration hates me lately, but I promise I will be vidding it one day :3
I hope you'll enjoy ^_^Info other accounts & re-uploads [read description]AviiAvatar032012-02-29 | I just uploaded a new video on my Klaiinebows account, in case you're interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m2IG8ezN8U
I haven't had a lot of time to re-upload other videos, but here's the list of requests (not sure yet if I'll do all of these, but we'll see):
Avatar TLA - Arcana (collab) /GUYS, CHILL. PLEASE. It'll come up when it comes up. We're not completely done yet, but we're working on it so it'll be back as soon as possible. Take a breather, my darlings./ Hummelberry - Show em what you're worth /though if I upload this one, it'll be on my Klaiinebows account/ There were some other requests, but they were from videos that were simply too old for me to be willing to upload/be able to find the video, or I lost the request due to inbox-burrying. If your request isn't on here yet, let me know. (do check if it really hasn't been uploaded yet) Also, my Avatar 'Closing In' collab is not going to be re-uploaded, because it's still on my collab-partner's channel so you can watch it there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUrCF7QUlDs
I actually started this video 6 months ago, but I guess lack of inspiration and time stalled it, like it does with all of my projects. Anyway, I'm sort of dedicating this to my pet rats. One of them passed away 6 months ago, the other 3 days ago. They were the sweetest things, I loved them, and I'm missing them an awful lot. My Jody looked exactly like Remy in the movie, and you could compare movie Emile to Jackie, so those are my sentiments to the movie. The video is quite messy in the way I didn't know what to focus on and half of the was made such a long time ago so I had to adjust to that editing, and there are so many faults I made, but at least I tried. xD I hope you'll enjoy ^.^
I chose this song because it's basically one of my all-time favorites, and it has some special meanings to me. So.. yeah.
Also, it's my cousin's birthday, so Happy Birthday Laura (KawaiiGoten)! Hope you're having a wonderful day! :3
One last thing, if you haven't already, please sign this petition to stop ACTA! If you don't know what it is and what it means to the internet, just read the description there: accessnow.org/page/s/just-say-no-to-acta
Thank you![P&P/NLMG] Sinking FriendshipsAviiAvatar032011-11-27 | I'm sorry if this doesn't make any sense.. or that the editing is quite poorly done.. I just needed to get something out and this is the result. Not sure why I'm uploading this but there you go.
"I'm swimming in the blue
Nigh misfortune; lively like a gloom
My eyes are soaked all way through
Our sinking friendships
We drown them all
I'm singing a sad tune
It's a song to you
We should all wear two lifesaving layers
We should all wear two...
No one knows you, till it's over
You know no one true, till it's over
Is this song to you?
Is this song to...
No one knows you, till it's over
You know no one true, till it's over"
(not sure if the lyrics are correct, every lyric-site has different ones. I just needed to post them.)Sokka - I will hold on hopeAviiAvatar032011-11-03 | (I'm really sorry for my descriptions always turning into essays, I'm doing my best to tone it down.. This one is basically me explaining that I love Sokka, so you can skip it if you'd like :P)
I needed to make a video of Sokka on this song. Why? Because 1) I'm in love with Mumford and Sons, I started maaany projects on their songs and none have been finished till now, and 2) I'm a bit disappointed in people seeing Sokka just as 'the funny guy'. Of course, this is one of his most outspoken trades, but he's more than that. So I wanted to make a more serious video for him, I appreciate his other side just as much/it's the thing that makes me love him. Even if he is alone in a way (his sister & most of his friends being able to bend), he uses his own strength to his best ability, doing everything he can to make his father proud. He lives with his heart. When he thinks people he loves would be in too much danger and doesn't agree with something, he says so. He's honest with himself. He's intelligent. He stands for what he believes in. And that's why he is BY FAR my favorite male character of ATLA, no contest. No offense, entire fandom, I don't mind you fighting over Zuko & Aang, or Iroh, whoever, I'll keep it with this hero.
There's much more I'd like to say but I promised to keep it short..ish.
I feel personally offended sometimes when he's being left out (for example in AMVs, 'he's not interesting enough to vid'), because he's a key-character and without him Aang never would've won. And if you disagree.. uhm.. there won't happen anything because I'm sure many of you do, but it'd still hurt me a bit. Because he was my first anime (well cartoon okay) crush and I still love him.
I don't think if the video turned out the way I wanted it to and Sony Vegas really hated me during this, so I might have to make another one in the future. Which I wouldn't mind because Sokka is so incredibly amusing to vid.
That was me toned down. Haha. Ha.
I hope you'll enjoy ;)
(and hope you like Mumford and Sons because I will keep pushing myself finishing the other MaS projects)
PS, thank you SO much for all the support, even when my account vanished. I'm way too blessed with you, I love you all :3[Dalton] Jogan - Fix YouAviiAvatar032011-10-22 | New Jogan video!
Julian & Logan are original characters of 'Dalton', a fanfiction of that musical show that must not be named because they'll eat my account. You can read it here:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6515261/1/Dalton You won't be disappointed. It is beautifully written by the lovely CP Coulter.
The Dalton fandom has had a rough couple of days/weeks for what I've seen. And soon we're going to lose a character of Dalton, which really isn't going to help ;-;
I finished this within two days (which is weird because I've been working on another Jogan vid for months and it isn't even near done yet) but it was delayed in uploading a bit because I lost my account. I chose this song because CP said she if she hadn't canceled it, it would've been sung by Logan (or Shane). And it's just really appropriate for now.
Warning: character's death. And funeral. (not Julian or Logan) For the person who does die in this video: I obviously have no clue who dies yet, but I could most easily get fitting clips for this person. It's a very small part of the video, but still, sorry for killing him ;-;
I was determined to give this a.. positive ending because I know I'm not the only one who needs that right now x) Stay strong guys ;3
