Where Is Your Heart? ✗ [Jetko]

**please don't repost!**
➸ My first ever YT short and ofc it's dedicated to Helena Eagan, I'm in love with her and won't be taking any questions thankssss
➸ In all seriousness though I haven't been able to find a single edit for outie Helena / Mark which after the restaurant scene feels insane?!? Link them to me if you see any others!
➸ I love how confused he was at the chemistry they had and how she finds herself being more honest with him than she usually would ('taking me home to meet dad already?' 'you'd be the first')
➸ I would have loved to do voiceovers but my laptop is truly on its way out so I decided to prioritise editing with HQ footage boooo

TW: police brutality, racism
Please watch in HD on a small screen!
I cried a solid three times while making this and I'm not ashamed to admit it
This edit is dedicated to Elvissa_Drake on AO3 and all the other brilliant writers who still care about this insanely underrated game!! I could wax lyrical about how Finn isn't a bad person, he wants stability just as much as Sean does, he recognises that Sean needs help with Daniel and gives him a chance to breathe, etc. etc. etc. but it would take too long and it's already 3.30am ha
I have now played LIS and LIS: BTS and they were beautiful, but the edit below is honestly elite - there's so much great stuff out there for them already!
youtu.be/HcxDtzKDPjA?si=6S98VLv3GBZnEpT_
I also think that the love that Sean has for Daniel / the fact he had to take on a parent-like role so young resonated with me really deeply, in a way that the other games didn't
Seriously, this might be my favourite game of all time, even more so than DA2. I've never felt so immediately attached to a character (and also wtf guys, Sean literally looks like a cross between Keith / Lance and no one thought to tell me about him back in 2018?? lol)
See ya,
Rose xoxo

And then they drank coconut cocktails and nothing went wrong :) right? :) right?? :)))))
Just a quick one, to try and heal my wounded soul... haha.. hah... haaaaaa.
Seriously, this game emotionally wrecked me. Like KO, haven't hardly slept since I finished it on Friday type beat. It's so beautiful, painful and raw. One of my absolute favourites since getting a PS5, I can't stop thinking about it.
I've linked the trailer for the game down below in case anyone is interested. Please though, take extra care if you're part of a marginalised group and / or from the US. It deals with some pretty heavy and relevant topics. You really are all in my thoughts every day. There's no right or wrong way to be processing all the BS that's happened this month, and my channel will always be a safe and loving space for all of you.
See ya,

P.S. - please no spoilers for the other games because even though this one drew me in first, I still intend to check out the others! Maybe when I'm less WRECKEDDDD lol

ENEMIES TO LOVERS BABYYYYYY!! That's kind of my whole brand, y'all should know that about me by now.
Heavy trigger warning for blood and gore in this one
The contrast between the tone of the video and my ridiculous thumbnail lollll
Did he cut off her finger? Yes. But did he attach it to his own hand? Also yes. Did SHE bite off his finger? Yes. But did she give him the vials he needed to avoid turning feral? Yes... sooo....
Idk... like how do I even express this to someone who hasn't played the games? Google 'John Hancock romance' or something. This franchise is for the freaks, it always has been, and ghouls can be weirdly hot, ok? Sue me, I'm 27 and I'll fancy a half-dead walking corpse with a hot voice if I want to.
I was inspired by a couple of truly iconic videos that I'll link below, I actually did an edit with an entirely different song but the vibe wasn't dark enough to do justice to my editing OR the games so I started over from scratch. I feel like this one is gloomy and soulful in a way that's so perfect, it won't be for everyone but I personally love this band in all forms
I've also been reading more fanfic than I have in a long, LONG time... It's been an actual age since I've been obsessed with something and it's a breath of fresh air! I just love the retro-futuristic aesthetic, the soundtrack, all of it!!
Also...
I can't even express how long this took to export and upload. The file size was actually insane LMFAOOOO and my laptop is on it's last legs after nearly a decade of loyal service but for some reason I decided quality of footage was more important than my sanity?? Even though I know from experience that YT always mucks it up??? (Especially with vignettes)
Anyway
Hope someone out there enjoys!
Pip pip / cheerio,

Watch in HD on a small screen for the best quality bc YT has screwed me over with their file compression once again! ♡
It's 3am and I have to be up in 4 hours time but WHATEVER! I just had to get this out into the world before I lost the confidence
Zutara man... they're just so perfect, and no matter what people say I personally really enjoyed this adaptation / all the little changes they made! Nothing will beat the original but their care and dedication to the source material is clear, even though this is a brand new take on it.
I hope it gets renewed so I can see the crystal catacombs scene bc even the little moments they had this season were so sweet and he doesn't even KNOW!! He doesn't even know that he'll risk his life, everything, for HER!!!!
Screaming all over again lol
This is my oldest and best-loved ship, I'm so grateful to the fandom for introducing me to fanfiction . net when I was a pre-teen. So much incredible writing on there (although not enough around the iconic 'I'll save you from the pirates' scene weirdly?!!? so if you have any fic reccs along those lines I'm all ears! I was sad that they cut that moment from the season but also more than happy for the Pride & Prejudice style moment they added in)
This vid is dedicated to all the OG Zutara fans out there, @xShywings, @kelso895, @DannyPhantomSG1, @yukariis, @GuardianFaith1577, @PHtrisyia236 and wayyyy too many more to even name!
Also to one of my favourite live action video editors @heeltrskltr, whose work below inspired the song use and style.
Lastly, if you want a comparison of my first ever Zutara video and my most recent, links below! I've been in the TRENCHES for over a decade and even though my editing has come a long, long, long way, I still have a soft spot for those iMovie edits I made at 16 haha.

That's right fellas, my wi-fi is BACK (finally lol)
Watch in HD on a small screen for the best quality! ♡
It's funny because people talk about the concept of an OTP as like, one singular pairing that you'll forever be obsessed with
For me though, I have my oldest pairing, for which my love will never fade (ie zutara), but then ALSO a pairing that I find objectively more interesting but has terrible source material (klance)
Anyway, maybe I'll do something Jetko next? Idk, idk... I'm having a bit of an ATLA revival, maybe just bc of the live-action series coming up
The only thing that puts me off doing something Jetko is that my last video said everything that I wanted to, but also illustrated to me JUST how limited scenes with Jet really are. The link is below if you're interested, I'm still pretty happy with it which is rare!
youtu.be/jvgmIypJ8R0?si=IvmaNtt-y714ZF91
Anyway though, I'm not here to talk about Jetko, I'm here to talk about ZUTARA and the fact that I'm miraculously still getting inspiration for manips after like, 10 entire years?!?! lmaooo
Does anyone have good fic reccs? I find AO3 kind of annoying for it bc every fic that comes up when you search by kudos is part of the sparrowkeet series which (NO hate to the author at ALL) I never really got into as a universe!
Hope a few of you enjoy this video, even though it's only a minute and a half it took me like 1,000 years to do, haha
Flameo!

Just watch this and maybe you'll get it tumblr.com/kaorusan241/723677606844792832
** If you don't recognise the show, google the characters for the name! **
I've posted edits for a lot of rare pairs in my time, but this might be the rarest of them all LMAO
I'm not really sure what it is that has me so interested in the relationship between these two, maybe it's the enemies to lovers aspect of it all??
This show is like the furthest thing from romance in the world too, and Richie is kind of an asshole... but he goes through some major character development in S2 which made me like him way more
I think maybe I'm projecting because I've worked a similar job in the past and had a lowkey crush on this guy who was similar to Richie in a lot of ways - objectively kind of terrible but with occasional glimmers of a soft side haha. I think when you're in a high-stress environment / working with someone all the time and they're not pulling their weight, there's this kind of weird tension where it's like, they respect you for actually caring about your job, but don't want to admit it. Even if it feels like there could be something there, there's kind of a distance because you're polar opposites in the way you work. So you don't let yourself even consider it - it's kind of like a forbidden fruit type deal
I'm 26 myself and was like, if I fancy him, then it's not totally out of the realm of possibility that Sydney would too, and in S2 there were a few moments that had me like HMMM?? Like why was she SMELLING HIM lmfaooooo
I don't think they'll actually go anywhere with it, and I don't hate the idea of her with Carmy if that's what's going to happen, but it's fun to consider as a twist.
Anyway so that's where this edit came from - the show itself is fucking legendary and the soundtrack is ace so even if you don't ship them I hope you go and check it out! It's really, really brilliant. I don't totally love this edit and might delete it later which is why I didn't bother with text or zooms, but yeah. I think I could have captured Richie being a badass a bit more. Ultimately I just love these two characters and want them to find happiness in S3! *
* It hasn't been renewed yet, but come on. You don't cast Olivia Colman, Jamie Lee-Curtis, Sarah Paulson, Bob Odenkirk, John Mulaney, Will Poulter etc. as guest stars and then cancel the show HAHA
Anyway, if you wanna chat about it feel free to message me on Tumblr!
Later,
Rose xoxo

To introduce a character this cool and give him NO backstory is bitter and twisted lol... Like even if they didn't end up together, I still wanted to know a bit more about him..?? Worse than that, the fact he literally faded out of existence after four episodes and no one acknowledged it LMAO
I just loved how sweet he was to Devi, even about things he didn't understand like Princeton etc. etc.... It's funny bc I've rooted for the other guys at different points too, but I took to Ethan SO quickly, I think its bc he challenges authority and elitism in academia? lol
This edit was heavily inspired by a few of my absolute favourite live action editors on here, check out their channels!

this will get like ten views but listen... listen..
it's nearly two in the morning and I'm sleep deprived / will regret this tomorrow so this will make zero coherent sense and no one probably reads these anyway but whatever whatever we move
if you subscribe then one (or all) of the following prob applies:
- ur alternative
- u spend too much time in ur room
- u have good music taste
- ur into broody goths
- u don't quite fit into conventional society in some way
if so, you've probs already heard of this show, or would relate to it bc it's basically about two girls who bond over their complete apathy for the high school experience and their existence in general
more on that later
I'm avoiding character names yet again bc otherwise YT will come for my ass / block all my stuff
firstly - his voice. like wow. shit hits deep man. I truly have no words other than that lol. also I'm in love with J like what can I say, she's an artiste and inspired me to get my ears pierced four times so I could do her triple hoops thing. I can see why ppl ship D and J together as well like they're giving **best friends question mark question mark** energy at points
secondly - the plot of the video bc y'all know I love a **storyline**
I wanted to pick a song that's like, worthy of this show, and was released around the same time. this band isn't even on spotify or anything which is a shocker but I feel like it has bittersweet vibes...?
I wanted to try and capture that 'first crush' feeling that D has in most of the series - the forbidden element of it bc its her best friends older brother but also that brutal and obvious fact that it would NEVER work (at least not during the series)
I'd like to think that when D and J move to Boston they'll still see T around and maybe they could try it out later down the line, but that's just my HC. I think he's a really sweet guy in the series and isn't trying to hurt her or anything, just knows that he's not really good for her and also lets face it is a bit of a mess (hello MONIQUE)
okay anyway back to the show itself, bc if you haven't seen it none of the above will make any sense to you LMAO
its as old as me (scary) but is literally iconic, I first watched it when I was a kid and reruns would play late at night, it still holds up SO well. Like if *ONE* person sees this and tries out the show, then I will have done my job!
it has really dry humour (obviously) but also explores some deep themes, like racist microaggressions, feeling disconnected from your parents, recognising signs of alcoholism, sexuality, death - I feel like in the late 90s and early 2000s shows for teenagers weren't as patronising and that's why they still hold up into people's adulthoods / have that nostalgia factor, bc the themes are still really relevant
the reason it's taken me so long to upload something about it is purely that I wanted to wait until I could download the HD version that has the original soundtrack (bc it's legendary), which is lowkey pretty dumb since I knew I was going to overdub it anyway??? LMAOOO
in 2010 when the studio converted the series to DVD they replaced all of the music with generic stock stuff bc of music rights, which was completely stupid because it meant that so much of the spirit of the original was lost!
anyway there are some heroes out there who basically restored the entire series in HD a while back and added back in ALL of the original songs - think Radiohead, PJ Harvey, The Offspring, Fiona Apple, KoRn, Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Eels, Garbage, The Cardigans, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden etc. etc. etc.
so yeah I felt like the two days of converting files was worth it to spread the word about this show - it will make you feel SEEN
you can watch it with the original music HERE if you're interested - mega.nz/folder/zsNjHR4A#C9shkc_nXU6lph1Sclkd4A
or if that doesn't work, most of them have the original music HERE - wcoforever.net/daria-season-2-episode-12-pierce-me

Please watch in HD because YT has kind of screwed the quality on this one!
Why ship enemies to lovers, when you can ship THE enemy to lover? LMAOOO
It's been something like... eight years since I last edited HP? Due to various events that I can't talk about or I'll get sued, lol. Anyway, Hogwarts Legacy reignited my love for it. I was inspired when I was going back through the history of the Gaunts, and particularly the story of Tom's mother, Merope. Dumbledore always believed that if Merope had been there to express love and affection for her son, Voldemort might never have come to be.
So by extension, I came back to this classic idea... what if our heroes realised that they were going to lose? What if Hermione had to make the ultimate sacrifice, by abandoning her life in the present to change the past?
It's something I've explored before if you're interested: youtu.be/zY9JOT_zj7g
I don't associate snakeface with Tom at all, and I'm still bitter that they didn't recast CC after the second film...
You'll notice that some of the quotes I've used, aren't real. I'm still a little on the fence about voice cloning. At the same time, I don't give a flying Nimbus 2000 when it's something JK is attached to. I get a lot of joy from knowing that she would HATE this ship, lol.
That's all I really have to say on the matter because I'm currently reading a 156k fic (on a Sunday night, thoughts and prayers haha).
I'd like to do a special shoutout to helterskelter, who inspired me to use this song and also has some of THE best live action edits out there, in my humble option. They're always so sleek, smooth, and have interesting pairings:
youtube.com/watch?v=UiTF1TEfCVc
Our lady of sorrows has also done some really cool tomione editing: youtube.com/watch?v=F1BEziHvPew
& I can't sign off without mentioning the ICONIC earwaxbean, whose edit is 10 years old but I still watch regularly haha, she's also done some other fantastic HP vids for other pairings so make sure you check out her channel if you're a fan of this universe! youtu.be/YaD7Zr8Et1w

Forever championing problematic faves .. your girl is a Slytherin 4lyf
Although, Sebastian has so many red flags that he could have been sorted into Gryffindor tbh
I don't even HAVE the game but I'm just completely obsessed with him??
Watch his questline, and all will become clear: youtu.be/jJY7yWtSE9k
Raging that there's no romance route but whatever I'LL DO IT MYSELF!
For various reasons (*cough cough* chief terf and her superiority complex) I fell MAJORLY out of love with this universe for a while, but I'm so happy that SebastianTok got me back into it a bit, because it was genuinely my escape for so many years
Like honestly idk what I'd do if I was at Hogwarts and Sebastian asked me to become a dark wizard with him... probably go with open arms LMAO

This is SO niche, I know, I know..
Let me explain
I've got quite a big work event in a couple of week's time (RIP) and it's making me wayyy more anxious than usual
So, I've been trying to relax by rewatching films I loved as a kid
This one came out when I was like, 8 years old? Even though I didn't know what 'shipping' was until I discovered Zutara and fanfiction .net, I remember being SUPER gutted that Layla picked her idiot friend over the edgy antihero hahaha
So I re-watched it on Saturday morning, and here we are a day or so later...
I mean seriously - this guy was so sweet? The tropes are also top-tier: fake dating, character redemption, enemies to friends to lovers.. UGH!! WHERE IS THE JUSTICE!!!
Seriously though, are there any canon examples in films where the 'villain' actually does get the girl? All I can think of is Megamind and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker ... let me know!
See ya,
Rose xoxo

Happy New Year! I hope 2023 brings you all joy and peace.
December 18th, 2022 marked TEN YEARS since I created this channel.. wild. To thank those who have been with me since the beginning, I thought I should upload a video dedicated to my original OTP. I picked a song from a classic album that was released while the show was still airing. I don't like the final result that much compared to my others, but whatever lol.
I also want to do a special shout-out to “PerfectlyPanda” on Tumblr, whose amazing manips really gave me the inspiraton and drive to finish this!
I remember so clearly watching 'The Ember Island Players' on TV at my grandparents house early one Saturday morning (it was early 2009 so they were playing reruns at this point), and using my Nokia to connect to the internet looking for fanart. Instead, my 12 year old self found fanfiction.net... and the rest is history, hahaha.
Anyway - the concept for this one was basically, what if Z became obsessed with finding 'the last waterbender' / K, instead of A? (If you can't tell, I'm trying to avoid this one getting taken down so please avoid using the show name in comments!)
I did have a channel before this one but I only really used it for favouriting videos, I didn't properly start dabbling in editing and uploading works until I was 15.
How are you all, hope you had a lovely festive season and are taking some time for self-care?
Flameo!

□ Xavier is so pathetically obsessed with Wednesday that I've surprised myself and sort of fallen in love with him? lmfaoooooo
□ I guess I just like the concept of a guy who is generally quite sullen and angsty, becoming an absolute LOSER around the girl he likes.. it's totally my weakness
□ Like him giving her a phone because he can't face the idea of a summer without hearing from her? After she didn't even apologise for sending him to prison?? HAHAHA
□ With this video I kind of challenged myself to create a darker, alternate universe take on their relationship. totally gave up with an end card though and honestly I blasted through this one in like, a day
□ At the end of the season I was a little bit disappointed that Xavier wasn't the hyde.. Like Wednesday, I'd sort of built up this idea in my head that he was
□ I mean the idea of him having feelings for Wednesday and fighting against that side of himself to protect her could have been glorious? but I understand why they included the twist and it was fun, so...
□ I did think about whether I could get behind Enid and Wednesday in the first couple of episodes, but ultimately I really liked the emotional intimacy between her and Ajax, it was so cute how happy she was with him
□ Basically I'm in a place where I pretty much ship everyone with everyone in this show, except anything involving Tyler, because even after the reveal he was STILL soooo boring to me lol
See ya,
Rose xoxo

The ending of this is corrupted / randomly blurry which is so annoying because it has my favourite manip in it. I also spelt the band name wrong (it's nearly 1am), it should say TigerCUB, not TigerCLUB. Despite all that, I literally cannot be bothered to export it for a sixth time , so here you go.
I also want to do a special shout out to @justanother for inspiring this, her videos are literally amazing youtu.be/7eICIuS8N_8

Two uploads in less than a week? I know right, wtf lmao. I hope that even if you haven't watched the series, you'll enjoy this video anyway! I tried to capture a glimpse of their story in the space of one song.
I loved, LOVED season two SO much more than the first season, and I'd always planned to edit Anthony and Kate to this song (enemies to lovers excellenceee). HOWEVER, when I was rewatching the series on my holiday, I remembered how obsessed I was with the side-plot involving Eloise and Theo.
I think for me, it's clear that Eloise has always been trapped in a gilded cage, longing for something more from her life. She's one of my favourite characters because she's not afraid to stand up for what she believes in. Theo is someone who sees her for who she is, is able to see past her standing in society and values her opinions. I loved their witty back and forth, and I'm really, REALLY hoping that we see more of it in the third season.
I was honestly kind of surprised to find that there isn't more fanfiction etc. about them, considering that the series came out earlier this year! It has so many interesting elements, forbidden romance, misunderstandings, a sweet and tender friendship that evolves into something more even though they know that to be together, Eloise would have to throw away the life she was born into. Theo doesn't want her to go! He cares about her! He isn't angry at Eloise, but the circumstances that make it impossible for them to be together, and Eloise is still too scared to take that next step with him. I like to think that they would have continued to write to each other in secret, using their book exchanges. Even her footman is on board! It's too good to let go! Come ON, Shonda!!
Please don't mention the song name or show in the comments to avoid this being taken down. Instead, you can find them linked below (just paste each of them into the address bar, after YT . com)

Hmm, so.
So.
Soooo.
I don't like, hate this edit? It's not my favourite, nothing ground-breaking and I had trouble with the sound mixing. I'm proud of myself for getting it to a place where I could upload it, though! I didn't have inspiration to edit KL for around two years, for a number of reasons:
• I wasn't happy with anything I created. The last time I uploaded KL it was pretty half-baked, and in all honesty, I was nervous that no one would care about my contributions anymore. It sometimes feels like people don't really value editing in the same way that they do fanfiction or fanart, so I wasn't that motivated.
• Every time I went to watch KL videos to try and find inspiration, I would come across stolen manips. Trust me, I've been editing for years and I know that sometimes if you don't have the same programs or experience, the temptation to rip people off is there. There is no creativity in theft, though.
Anyway, so after my boyfriend broke up with me a couple of months ago (LOLLL) I had some time on my hands, and wanted to return to hobbies that gave me joy before I met him / take some time to myself. I decided to upload this, even though it's not my best, in the hope that at least one person will like it.
This edit is dedicated to Dery. We haven't chatted in a while, but you're still one of the people I respect and appreciate the most on here! I remember the KL collab we tried to finish with this song like, five years ago, so I hope you enjoy this haha ♡
Hasta la later,

These two had so much potential.
TW: eating disorders and spiders. Please watch in HD on a small screen! I'm not feeling too great about this edit, but it is what it is. At least I created something, I guess.
It's kind of unusual how many m/f couples I've edited lately? Maybe because I'm bi and literally in love with both of these two.... Any relationship that's about the "popular one" and the "loser" is a yes from me, honestly. Also, the few fanfics on AO3 that have been published about them since ST4 dropped? Iconic.
Last time I posted, I mentioned that I only seem to edit when depression is kicking my ass. This time, it's not depression, but the fact that my boyfriend of 8 months has stopped sleeping over, doesn't really text me anymore, and never wants to talk about anything serious. I'm sad, but also, he's a straight man so I don't know what I expected to be honest. I miss him a lot, but if I overcrowd him things will only get worse. For now I guess I'll have to just cuddle with my soft toys and read fanfic haha, which isn't so bad. I feel like a fanfic writer in 2010, offloading my personal drama on here lmfao.
ANYWAY - if you have any recommendations for ships you think I might like, let me know!

This show is criminally underrated, it's insane. There's maybe, one other fan edit on YT about it?? I actually edited another video last year, which you can find on my Tumblr, but it got taken down (even though the song was from the film Stormbreaker of all things hahaha).
For those who aren't UK-based and might not get the context, this pairing is from a series set during The Troubles in the 1990s. I've dramatised it because, well, I'm me.. but it's actually a comedy and I love it.
I'd love to do something for K/L someday soon too, but honestly I only seem to edit when depression is kicking my ass.. If I start an edit and don't finish it that same weekend, it's unlikely that it will ever get touched again. I can't even count how many discarded drafts I have right now, super annoying.
I'm actively looking for k-drama and anime recommendations to help me get out of this rut / give me something to look forward to, so if you know anything you think I might like (enemies to lovers, well developed romance, LGBTQ+ content, that sort of thing), please let me know!
Thanks for everything, and I hope everyone is doing okay.

This film means a lot to me, I saw it in the cinema the week it came out and it's brought me a lot of comfort every year since.
Not everyone likes it, but to me, it really captured what living in London is like as a mentally ill young woman. This band is also one of my favourites, they're harsh, raw and always have a fresh take on everyday struggles.
I hope that this edit resonates with someone else out there. One day I'll feel well enough to create something I'm happy with, but for now, this.
This is totally unfinished and has been for like 4 months because I'm not well... I might delete later ... but I heard it was Corpse Husband's birthday and I love him, so. Hopefully he sees it and likes it.

Okay I know that it's been like, a month since this show ended, so everyone is probably over it by now, and I promise I'll edit something else soon. But I've been writing a fanfic for them and I couldn't find the mental energy to work on it (as things have been very, very stressful in real life at the moment), so I decided to follow my heart and create this instead.
I just really like the obsessive love that Hanseok has for Chayoung in this show, and also the way that he doesn't push it? Aside from at the end when he kidnaps her to get to Vincenzo, he really does keep his distance from her. He wants her to be close to him, and offers her a place with him back working for Babel, but does so using his Junwoo disguise because he doesn't know how to approach her as himself. He wants her to come to him voluntarily, and sees Vincenzo as his biggest obstacle. He only hurt her to bait Vincenzo. It makes me wonder, what about an AU where she becomes obsessed with him, too? That's also the premise for my fic, so I hope I get the energy to finish it someday soon.
In other news, I've also been watching about a billion compilation videos for BTS / specifically Taehyung. I always loved their music but now I'm like, obsessed haha. I think those boys were put on this earth to spread joy and make people happy, because even when I'm at my lowest points they always manage to make me smile. I know I'm not the only one!
How is everyone else doing - hope that you're keeping safe and being kind to yourselves?

This took me an entire week to put together as it's been busy.... so I really hope people engage with it as much as I did! I also want to do a special shout out to ideffinix, who makes really inspiring videos and has been so fun to talk to about this pairing!
The basic premise of this edit is that they're exes, she's aware of his issues and breaks up with him for Vincenzo. It focuses mostly on Chayoung's complicated feelings for Junwoo / Hanseok and his death, because that's something we didn't really get to see explored on screen much.
I'm trying to think of a way to convey how I felt about the final episodes, but it's difficult. Ok Taecyeon did such an amazing job. I feel really vindicated that all of the stuff we were saying about how he had a soft spot for her, that he loved her in his own messed up way, all turned out to be true.
On a less serious note, he looked so good in prison, wow lmao. I'd like to imagine an alternate universe where Chayoung convinced Vincenzo not to kill Hanseok, Vincenzo went to Malta, and then she fell for him slowly through her visits and the personalised gifts he would have sent to her.
I hope everyone's doing okay? Be kind to yourself, and take it easy.

This is literally terrible lmfaoooo it was garbage when uploaded a test on Tumblr, it's garbage now. There aren't many people around who ship this and I've only uploaded one other FMV. But I don't care, because they look good together and I have some ~ thoughts. ~
Okay okay so listen... everyone's always like to me, 'omg I miss when Han Seok was Jun Woo the intern! I can't ship them! I'm like, okay that's all fine and dandy, those early episodes WERE cute, and obviously you don't have to ship them. HOWEVER. One of the key moments that made ME interested in the idea of these two was actually in episode 6, when Han Seok hadn't revealed his true identity yet.
He's all, 'come back to Wusang (( I miss you )), I'm just relaying a message from the boss.' She's all, 'I guess those giant hornets made him want me back', 'why so seriousss'. It just reminded me that she's lowkey unhinged in the best way, haha. She was so keen to see that building blow up, enjoyed being 'a gangster' and said she'd quit her law job for it, plus she literally asked Vincenzo to show her someone get showered in blood. We stan!
From Han Seok's side, he says to Vincenzo once Cha Young has left the room, 'I don't want her to be six feet under, and I don't appreciate you digging it for her.' It just got me thinking, he doesn't WANT to be on the wrong side of her. He wants her to be on HIS team.
I mean, picture this. Cha Young goes on a date with Han Seok because she wants revenge for the role he played in the death of her father. She decides that the best way to do this, is to exploit the fondness he feels for her. Over time, she realises that she likes the power and would rather take over Babel instead.
Can you feel my heartbeat?? (yes I will keep making that joke on all Vincenzo-related videos, don't @ me.)
See ya!
xoxo
P.S. Can we talk about this man drinking absinthe for fun in episode 14, only TWO episodes after being shot in the LIVER? Wild. Episode 6 was truly peak though, I keep thinking about it. When she fainted in the court room and he JUMPED up to help her? & then awkwardly had to return to his seat when she was faking?? I felt that. What did y'all think of the episode 15 trailer too? I hope something fun happens!

EDIT:: How weird that in today's ep they had that interesting eye contact in the office where she talked about the blood thing being a 'prank between friends'! That's basically what I was hoping for with that edit sequence towards the end.
Listen though….. Han Seok is a freaking terrible person. I know this. He's awful to his brother, kills people, whatever. I think he’s also a very complex character. One of the things I like the most about this drama is that both the male leads have murdered a lot of people in cold blood, and Cha Young also has this darker side that comes up every so often. I love the fact that she worked on the ‘wrong’ side to start with, and decided to join Vincenzo on her own terms.
I have second lead syndrome so I liked him from the start, but when his true identity was revealed I became so invested!! I want to know more about his past, what happened with his mother, why he decided to make his alter ego a subordinate to Cha Young in particular, etc. etc. - it was so interesting how we found out some of those details indirectly from the team’s research when they were trying to discover his true identity.
I basically made this to bring together all of the little moments that make it hard to tell what’s true and what’s a lie when it comes to his relationship with Cha Young, and that make me think he has a weak spot for her. I started thinking about it when I realised in episode 5 that he had nothing to gain from vying for her attention / trying to get her to date him. It didn’t add anything to his cover story, and he could have asked her for information as a friend. I became more convinced after I’d seen episode 9 - the quote I’ve pulled out above was from a conversation Cha Young had with Vincenzo, but it also could easily apply to Han Seok. It was so interesting that after his brother tried to get her killed, Han Seok got incredibly angry and immediately called her to make sure she was okay, only to look jealous when he realised she'd been sleeping at Vincenzo's. I thought that small scene was very revealing.
It mightttt not be a romantic attachment, and today’s episode hasn’t dropped yet so lots of things might change. I don’t really care though because I just wanted to imagine a scenario where they became an evil power couple, or where she managed to calm him down into becoming more of an upstanding businessman just using her no-nonsense attitude with him, haha.
Can you feel my heartbeat?? (lol)

EDIT: The song is called Evil, not Heaven, I am just THAT tired today and cannot face rendering this entire thing again at 3:15am. Go check out Aviva's music it's really cool 🖤
Okay firstly, side-note - There is exactly 1 (one) Benedict quote on Goodreads, relating to a chick in the third book, but why does it lowkey correspond perfectly with what Henry told him about having someone you 'can't live without'? Coincidence?? I'm shaken, lol. Anyway.
This might be my live action crossover MAGNUM OPUS...... It's insanely niche, not perfectly made, and barely anyone is gonna care about this because my intense love of history doesn't often come up here, but these two as a combo...
I was only planning to use DG for b-roll material, as originally this was going to be Benedict + Henry, close to canon. But then I started thinking about it more, and decided that despite the fact they lived 70 years or so apart, Dorian would also be an awesome match.... some reasons:
1. They're both kind of hedonists, but Benedict has a bit more self-restraint since he's from such an influential family, so I think would help Dorian keep himself in check a bit there
2. Benedict is incredibly witty and is generally cheerful, so would help alleviate some of Dorian's gloominess (they both have a pretty dry sense of humour which I think would also mesh quite well)
3. Benedict is an ARTIST, HELLOOOO!!!! Dorian's portrait is what keeps him young, low-key evil, and alive??? The possibilities there are endless
4. Dorian is ultimately craving genuine, meaningful love, and Benedict is a man who steps in to protect and support people without asking any questions (e.g. being immediately prepared to take over the household from Anthony should the dual go sour, helping Eloise escape the party, standing up for Genevieve)
5. Benedict would still be a bit repressed I think, in terms of acknowledging his bisexuality, and Dorian is the exact opposite of that so could help him explore a new side of himself
I hope a few people enjoy this, and also that you're all doing okay at the moment! Don't hesitate to put your health first during these difficult times. I care about you, and your happiness.
Farewell,

This is a bit messy, and I know what you're thinking.... she uploaded again...? It has.. voiceovers......?!
Look, I really couldn't help it, I'm not sure why most of you are subbed but I'm guessing it has something to do with Klance, and I honestly haven't cared about a ship this much since then. Enemies to Lovers is my JAM! So this is a really exciting lockdown development for me! I'm desperado to talk to someone about them so please feel free to twitter DM me about it, or leave a comment here, haha.
I know I've edited Daiharu before, but I was absolutely losing my mind laughing when I realised Daisuke actually HAD been killing people, and Haru just... didn't care? It seems like Haru was always complaining about Daisuke, but he also liked to keep him close, and grew really attuned to him towards the end of the series. Especially at the end, when Haru went as far as literally abandoning his job and following Daisuke across the world to London to work with him as a partner. Daisuke saying 'I'm at home' also kind of suggested they were living together? But let's not get into that, haha....
Side note - This song is beautiful. I'd say one of my all-time favourites, particularly the way the tone shifts at the end, that's something I've always loved about music. I've edited lots of songs that have a transition, but the other one that comes to mind is Amsterdam by Coldplay.
As most of you know, I actually live in London so I went to find the exact spot on southbank Daisuke goes to when he's thinking about what happened to his mother.

I'm going back to work tomorrow so won't be editing for a while most likely but I randomly got into this show (and The Owl House) at the end of last week, both are AMAZING, but I wanted to challenge myself to a super simple speed edit over the weekend with an AU theme. I think anything involving detectives works really well for that, as its a perfect cover for the nefarious. No masks or anything and I know it's crap, but I had fun and I love this band.
D literally does anything H asks in canon its so cute, which got me thinking, wouldn't it be interesting if H had to leave first division because he'd accidentally murdered someone? What if D was an extremely wealthy serial killer who supported H in exploring that side of himself?
Check out the anime though it's a lot of fun (name at the end of the edit, PLEASE!! DO!! NOT!! mention in comments), there's only 4 episodes so far but I lowkey love it! H especially is sooo cute and chaotic.
Hope you're all keeping well, stay safe!
Bye xoxo

As you all well know... I love these two. Jet is one of the most interesting characters in the entire series, if you ask me (and also clearly bisexual, I know my own kind, lol). So, here I am 3 years later once again bringing you some Jetko to celebrate Pride Month hehe. (Also because I read this fic and it’s BOMB, talking about how much of Jet’s identity had been tied to the war - archiveofourown.org/works/24708229)
Few thoughts I've been having about it below. First, I think one of the reasons that Jet's episodes are SO good is that he represents those that the fire nation has left stranded and forgotten. His freedom fighters all came from different earth kingdom villages that the fire nation wiped out, it's a really dark concept.
The first video I did for these two had Jet discover "Li's" true identity at the end, but this time I thought it could be fun to do it at the start. So they hooked up on the ferry obviously (even though Ozai's fire nation canonically made mlm illegal), but what if Zuko decided to save Jet from the Dai Lee right after their dual swords fight? What if that's where Jet finds out that he's the banished prince? What if Jet begins trailing him to 'get him back', but realises that Zuko has just as much reason to hate the fire nation as he does, and decides he still wants him in the gang after all? What if Azula catches on, and Jet realises that Zuko's feelings for him are genuine despite their differences? What if Jet decides to stick around?
Shout out to a few things / people that kept me inspired for this:
EDIT: OMG I forgot to mention one of the BIGGEST reasons I got inspired again haha, it was rediscovering the Jetko doujinshi!! Does anyone else remember it?? ICONIC stuff - jinsart.tumblr.com/tagged/jetko-doujinshi
1. Rose's video aaaaa I still love it so much!! Seriously editing Jetko for me is like, the GREATEST GIFT ever because they're so ignored by the majority! The song is so good too - youtu.be/_sj9_4E0hxw
2. This fic about Jet being obsessed with the Fire Nation Prince he hasn't met and the freedom fighters teasing him about it - archiveofourown.org/works/22248037
3. Multiple amazing fics about Jet surviving and sneaking into the fire nation palace to confront Zuko about his secret identity / his feelings for "Li" - archiveofourown.org/works/19317739
4. Tam! Thank you so much for watching the first draft and making me feel like people want to see this! (Also everyone else please check out her KL art it makes me cry it's so so amazing) - twitter.com/imonstandbi

How is everyone? I know things are really tough right now, it's still so difficult to adjust to this new situation. Try to practice self care wherever possible, and remember that you matter, and I care about you. So be kind to yourself!
The second season for this show drops in two days, and I'm so hyped to see where they take it next. I watched the first season over a year ago, but Adam being confirmed gay was the push I needed to actually try editing something I guess!
And yeah I know, I know... Editing random cartoon ships isn't a proper substitute for therapy. But you know what? Sometimes when things get really bad, it truly does help, even now I'm a graduate.

TRIGGER WARNING - Please be aware that this show uses homophobic language of the 1980s, included in some of these voiceovers
I finished this literally in June last year, which is why it only has S1 and S2 footage haha. The only reason I wasn't sure about posting it was that my theory about Billy being not so much of a total irredeemable asshole hadn't been confirmed yet, and I wanted to see what he'd do first. Didn't want to support a character I didn't really believe in. I feel like he gets so much hate though considering Jonathan also got into fights and never faced abuse / abandonment from both parents, and also Steve was actively homophobic to start with but no one even mentions it?? I'm so glad Billy worked it out with Max in the end too, that scene with his mum had me in tears lmaooo
So yeah anyway, after S3 I just felt like these two would have had the power to battle the absolute homophobic cesspit that was the 1980s. (As much as I love the music and aesthetic! Blue Monday is my favourite song). In my last year at uni before I graduated and started feeling fully depressed, I used to spend a lot of time at Scottish record stores that literally hadn't changed since the 70s, and going to 80s themed queer clubs, it was so damn fun aaa
ANYWAY I'm babbling. Basic premise is that Steve and Nancy mutually broke up to be with other people, but Nancy found out that Steve had fallen for a guy. They decided she would be his beard until Hawkins homophobia calmed down, but obviously that becomes more difficult as things get crazier
I might do something with season 3 too? Not sure yet
See ya,

K/L are literally my top ship, in the whole entire world ever. No matter what happens on Friday, I'm really grateful to have found such an awesome dynamic and to have read SO MANY books worth of fanfiction! SPEAKING OF - archiveofourown.org/works/15088652/chapters/34986212 This is the fic that helped inspire the edit (especially the cave scene)! It's called "5 Reasons To Stay" and it's SOOOO amazing and properly in character. Please go leave a comment so that the author might feel inspired to finish it off!
I'm not sure if the voiceovers are going to work out on this one, because I low-key messed up my hearing in one ear after too many loud rock concerts... so until that heals, figuring out the balance of voiceover to music is going to be quite hard. The lyrics to this song aren't really related, like some of them are but not the general theme, I just really liked the vibe of it and the way it builds up towards the end!
Also, LMAO, please ignore this ugly thumbnail... I tried okay, honestly this video took like four months because my inspiration is so dead and buried after that fiasco of a season. Coming up with ideas was just, tough... And sorry to freak out back when S7 dropped, but Adam dying?! Seriously?? After 2 minutes of screentime, and then Shiro being given 6.8 seconds to "mourn" when the Holts got like 10 minutes dedicated to them reuinting? BOOOOOOO!
After Korra, I really hoped it would be different this time, but you know what? There are over 25,000 fanfics out there for these two, I like to imagine them working things out in some alternate universe.
I'm not... optimistic anymore, but I'm sort of like, cautiously hopeful that there might be a twist? I don't expect it by any means, but there's still a little part of me that's hoping we're wrong. A/L just seem so obvious, and seasons 1-3 were so K/L-heavy in comparison. Plus why didn't L vote for A in The Feud episode?? Surely if he's in love with her, he would have wanted HER to be free, hahaha.
But as I said, it doesn't really matter because I'm going to make myself a gin and tonic (or three), buy all my favourite red and blue themed candy, and enjoy a final farewell to the canon footage of all these characters. 2 years has just flown by!
I hope you're all doing okay and thanks for bearing with my dramatics. YOU, reading this, are AWESOME! ♡
Hasta la later, xoxo

A few notes:
1. The first edit was posted to my Twitter account a few days after S7 dropped. Sometimes I only post there
2. These are uploaded in reverse date order, (from the most recent to the oldest)! So, the last few were created before S2 of VLD released. (Nostalgia!!) I thought it could be useful for other editors to see my process, people who have been following me for a while will see where I lifted ideas and masks from test edits to put into the longer ones. To be honest, it sometimes takes a few tries for me to figure out what story I want to tell, which things work and which things don't
3. The one with the Matt/Lance/Keith love triangle was a gift for some friends, which is why it looks a bit more polished than the rest!
4. I'm still really annoyed about the thousands of music.ly cosplayers who stole my poli///tik audio without credit. It's made me really hesitant to upload any more videos :((
Anyway now those are over, I hope you've all been doing well! I love hearing how everyone's doing, and usually I try to edit more often but I have no time or motivation right now. It's been a busy few months, final year at university is hectic as I'm trying to secure graduate jobs and work experience on top of my studies. It makes me sort of miss school, where I only had to worry about exams and not money or anything! But I do love having the freedom to make my own choices and to be myself.
I went to New York Comic Con by the way, which was AWESOME. America is really cool in some areas, and it was pretty amazing to be at the last ever VLD panel considering I've been following it since S1!

HellOooOOooo! *a single hopeful voice shouts from the abyss*
This is low-key kind of awful but I'm trying okay, I'm trying haha. The focus is on Keith, pining Keith, Keith's feelings after spending time away. I hope you get some sense of his inner turmoil! Also, people who think I haven't edited since S6 dropped need to follow me on Twitter, since there are bonus edits there: twitter.com/kaorusan241/status/1008136236417146881
It's kind of hard to be inspired given all the uncertainty before the first episode of S7 drops at SDCC on Friday (whAT), but I was really keen to get this out before then. It's self-care, I like canon-verse fics with angst the very best! Also, I feel like I took this sort of unofficial vow to edit something for every season? I didn't think there'd be TEN SEASONS when I first started 2 years ago though, haha.
I still just love this show in itself, and wanna remind y'all that YOU have the power to curate your fandom experience! This is a show set in space, with synthy 80s style music, diverse characters and four seasons left to go. Forget about drama, focus on the parts YOU like best, and your interpretations. If you ever need someone cheery to talk to, my ask box on Tumblr or my Twitter DMs are always open!
Anyway! Onto klance specifically after S6, because WOW! That season was intense! I want all of you to know, that I am one of THE most optimistic klance shippers you will ever meet. Other than maybe like, Fictional Crystals, we're about on the same level actually haha (watch the start of her S6 predictions video, it's spot on). But generally compared to everyone else, I have lots more hope left to give.
One of the main reasons is this, which I realised when I was watching a documentary on the history of romantic comedies (I'm a nerdy college student, I know, I know): twitter.com/kaorusan241/status/1019332543559192578

How is everyone? New pact to create more than one live action video a year, and to stop deleting them, starts now...
Impulse editing within an evening and uploading at 4am probably isn't the best place to start, but here we are haha.
I've been a Skam addict for 2 YEARS but I'm usually too afraid of editing this sort of footage... ofc it took a tragic deadend wlw ship in the American remake to get me inspired enough to attempt something..
If you haven't seen the original Skam (Norweigan) then WHAT are you doing with your life, it's so relatable and addresses a huge range of deep topics, but always manages to keep the humour. Here's a link to the masterpost: nooraiskind.tumblr.com/post/170282912802/the-complete-skam-experience-the-only-masterpost
After you've seen the original, I'd recommend this remake, since I'm really excited to see how they adapt the Isak/Even storyline from S3 to fit Shay. It's also the only one out of the variants that's being presided over by Julie Andem herself!

This thumbnail is ugly AF, sorry... maybe I can think of something better when it's not 5am haha.
Obviously I tweaked the storyline a bit with the kiss, Lance picking up a poster of Keith on their travels and so on, but the theme for this video is supposed to stick very close to what we have in canon. I chose not to include a happy reunion at the end because I wanted the viewer to experience the same sense of frustration and longing that these two feel while they're apart. Since it's quite a long AMV, the idea is that by the end of the vid you feel upset but also hopeful, which fits with how fans feel at this stage in the overall story. I'm not sure if I succeeded but that's the tone I was aiming to strike with this piece!
I haven't edited this band since S1 (almost 2 years ago now, wow!) so the mid-way point in the series felt like a good stage to revisit their music. They're forever my favourite because their songs are sad but not overly depressing, angsty but not too upsetting. Also as I said in the description for "mortality", these first two albums have bad connotations for me, so I'm working on changing that through editing what I love!
What did you all think of season 5? I personally really enjoyed it, even though I miss Keith dearly that cliffhanger at the end is so exciting! How is he going to react? My money is on Krolia encouraging her son not to make the same mistakes that she did, maybe tell him more about how she met his dad, which will prompt him to return to the team (and Lance ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)...)

☞ EDIT: Sorry for the cheeky reupload, I accidentally uploaded the wrong version like a FOOL... also I changed my YT theme from AOT.. after a year of basically only uploading gays in space I decided to just follow my heart :')
Firstly, I'd just like to say a HUGE thank you to the 10 editors who took time out of their busy lives to create such amazing parts, you're all so talented and true friends! It was lovely to see everyone's different styles and it really inspired me! (Special shoutout to Kyoki for working such late notice for a backup too!)
Second, this MEP is a few days later than I'd planned (my birthday was on Tuesday) because there were two dropouts post-deadline, I'm about to head back to uni where I'll have no time, that's why I decided to edit a few more myself rather than wait for more backups! I wanted to get this up as quickly as possible, however I really appreciate everyone who offered their help!

n o t e s:
We are gathered here today, my dear subs, for three reasons.
1. I couldn't believe it, but I realised last week that there are barely ANY edits in the Voltron fandom for female couples not including gender bends (one for Acxa/Ezor, and a few with Pidge that I'm a bit ehhh about). They all involve Lance and/or Keith, and edits of Allura without men somehow being involved are kind of rare. As a wlw I decided this was unacceptable and kind of concerning!
2. Acxa is awesome?! Just as awesome as Allura?? Why are people sleeping on this crack ship, it doesn't even have a name! We know far more about Acxa than the other generals, and since Allura hasn't shown any romantic leanings in canon, I figured I might as well explore this idea!
If people can ship Lotor and Allura they can get behind Acxa and Allura, end of story. Acxa had her own motivations for following Lotor, and she clearly has a code of honor judging by the weblum episode when she helped Keith to safety. Allura has also come a long way since S1; I want to see her with someone who is strong and capable, and that she expresses romantic interest in herself.
3. Honestly? I kind of hate my editing right now. I had SO much inspiration in 2015, but recently I find my style bland and I've come to hate it. So other than MEPs I think I need to take a bit of a break from Klance, maybe explore some live action again, and rediscover my groove. This marks a first step towards that.

Mmmm..... so about this one. I'm sorry, I really am.
Well, not really lol.
My sister had a bit of a meltdown when I showed it to her, so I hope it has the same effect on you lot!
This hiatus has been manifesting itself in strange ways, I swore that I wouldn't edit anything after S4, but then I went back and rewatched it together with S3 and you know... It's not that bad?
More importantly, this lengthly break between 6 episode seasons has given me time to reflect, ignore my studies and read more fanfiction than I have since August 2016. In those late-night binges I came across the HOLY GRAIL, in my humble opinion, of canon Klance fics. It's set after S4, and it played a HUGE part in me coming to enjoy the season despite the seeming lack of development anywhere.
I can always trust fanfiction authors to flesh out the gaps in this show!
Anyway, so it's called "Keith's Type", by AmbitiousSkychild (who I've dedicated this video to), and you all have to read it! archiveofourown.org/works/12725940
You might notice a few influences here, although obviously my videos are always a medley of different fics and ideas.
I hope you've all had a wonderful holiday period, with friends, family, or rocking it solo, and HAPPY NEW YEAR! May 2018 bring us plenty more LGBT+ representation and Hot Topic Klance t shirts ;) ;)

*Edits something ambiguously gay as stress-relief*
You know I can do better than this, I know I can do better than this, but I really needed a chill editing break from exam studying. Also, I haven't made something just for myself in a while.
I. love. these. two. I literally cannot get enough of their dynamic, RIVALS RIVALS RIVALS. (Literally the theme of this channel tbh.)
As always thank you for the inspiration Yasmin, (youtube.com/watch?v=SBoSeEySwRA&t=1s) I'll try to make something longer and better in future when I have more time!
Jean is one of my favourite characters (for similar reasons to Lance actually), because he's really matured into a stronger person and he often puts the needs of the team above his own. Eren is a little more selfish, but he can't resist rising to the bait whenever Jean annoys him and I live for it.
Side-note, S4 of VLD was totally boring, that's part of the reason I've been re-watching AOT more lately, its a better story overall. I mean what could I possibly squeeze out of that? Lance misses Keith while he's away, or dead? I'd rather wait until S5 to create an interesting plot, but we'll see. I hope to see something romantic soon though... NYT has mentioned Klance now, it's surely destiny lol.

☞ First off: Dery, this is for you. I love you and miss you, I know I used some bits from our collab at the end of this but I intend to restart that when everything's calmed down. I'm SO relieved you're okay. ☜
Wow okay hello, HELLO, I am in fact STILL ALIVE. Scroll for a storyline, but first I'm going to fill you in loosely about why this took so long, because there are over 13.5 thousand of you now.. woah.
1. I actually started this the day after S3 aired, it's literally taken just over 2 months to edit. The first month I spent working, 8 hours a day 5 days a week, because I'm saving up to go to NYCC this time next year. That meant by the time I got home I was exhausted, and I also moved into a new flat so I had to sort all of that out. Plus a few weeks ago when I did have free time after freshers week, I fell down the stairs and got concussion so I think the world was telling me to rest :')
2. I'm in my third year at university, and that basically means that I have a LOT more work than before. I'm writing about music/TV for about 4 magazines now on top of my studies and other commitments such as radio. My mental health has also been fluctuating badly again, so motivation to even get out of bed is difficult for me these days.
3. This is.. my favourite song. Ever. I've wanted to edit Klance for it since August 2016, but I've been waiting until I had enough footage and Lance wasn't really in S2. I have to keep reminding myself that quality can be better than quantity, I hope that the kind of subscribers I have appreciate the time and effort that goes into every single one of my works even if they don't come out as often.
☞ S T O R Y L I N E
Warning: This edit is about a breakup. *sobs lightly*
Essentially, everything is the same as canon, but both Keith AND Shiro were on a mission together and BOTH got tortured by the Galra. Shiro escapes first, and then sets up shop in Keith's childhood shack, trying to find Keith via the lions etc.
Meanwhile, Lance recognises Keith, even with his galra heritage exposed whilst in captivity, and so they rescue him and follow his directions to the shack where they find Shiro. Then everything progresses as normal.
There are three major themes in this edit that I wanted to explore, because I really strongly believe that they're the aspects of Klance that still haven't been resolved in canon and NEED to be or something bad will happen.
1. Lance's tender feelings for Keith are eclipsed by his jealousy. He likes Keith, but as the youngest child at home he clearly has some deep-rooted insecurities that will take longer than a few seasons to heal.
2. Keith is constantly running away from things he doesn't want to deal with. He doesn't think things through, and he doesn't fully consider the impact of his actions on the rest of the team until it's too late. It happened multiple times in battle in Season 1, and we saw it explicitly in Season 3 when Lance had to once again manage Keith's impulses.
3. Lance isn't straight, I think we can be sure of that at this point. My own experiences liking the same gender as me are reflected in Lance's behaviour, but the difference is that I don't think this realisation will come easy for Lance. Whether it's a religious upbringing or something else, I think that the development of his relationship with Keith from friendship to romance is likely to be rocky and confusing.
So the story goes, Lance and Keith hook up, but those factors combined mean that they never properly talk things through. Lance is constantly the one left behind and struggling with his not-straight feelings, while Keith is left frustrated as Lance clings to the "idea" of him, from their fighter pilot days. It could all be solved if they admitted the truth, that they would die for each other, but unfortunately Keith goes off to tackle Lotor on his own before that conversation can happen.
It's a trap, and Lance ends up dying before they can resolve things. Keith is left talking to his AI, the ghost of a memory since the boy he loves is lost. Keith doesn't have a home back on Earth, so if you wanted to make it really dark you could imagine that he stays in space forever because he finds it too painful to let go of Lance's consciousness.
Last thing:
This has to be said again since a few people don't read my descriptions/have been asking: If I see/hear of a repost, regardless of credits, I will no longer share my Klance works. Case closed. For those of you who want more edits or manips be sure to alert reposters of my policy quickly. Thanks!

No Instagram reposts please, ever. If I see any reposts of my work then that's it, I'll stop sharing klance edits. Thanks for understanding!
I read the spoilers released about the first two episodes of season 3 and got so emo that this massive THROWBACK of a 2008-style video was born... (in like, 2 days, so please excuse the quality it's pretty bad LOL. I watched a lot of angsty Sasori videos for inspiration though so that was fun)
1 MORE DAY EVERYONE, ONE DAY. (& 7 hours but who's counting... not.. me...) Be still my beating heart, holy shit. HOLY SHIT!
I'm ready for more Klance, (and Lotor's hot galra follower with the short hair), are YOU?
HASTA LA LATER! xoxo

☞ Scroll for a storyline! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Guys omg... I love this artist? You all know I'd edit ANYTHING vaguely emo or dark, and he's created a sound kind of like a Swedish version of The Nbhd? (Thank you Riverdale slash videos for this obscure discovery lol)
Here's a link to the song (put after the standard YT url)
/watch?v=q-ClZMBll1A
It's worth checking out their other ones too if you're into darker music, there's only like 5 because they released their debut album in November, but they're all so so good! (Can you tell I obsess over music enough to write about it at uni..)
:: s t o r y l i n e ::
So this is like... emo pining Keith to the max - borderline obsessive lmao. He's having to suppress his feelings in Shiro's absence, because he's supposed to be a responsible leader now and can't justify making out with his team members :')
However, seeing Lance flirt with people on every planet they go to is starting to take it's toll... I've also changed their history a little bit because I LOVE GARRISON AUs OKAY oh m y god..
Basically, even though they still bicker a lot it was Lance who went and found Keith right after he got expelled, because he was always getting into trouble with Iverson anyway and when Keith opens up about wanting to find Shiro/what happened to the Kerberos mission Lance is like heck yeah I'll come with let's blow this popsicle stand
Back to the present, eventually Keith just snaps and kisses Lance because he's hot and they might die anyway etc., and a few days later they find Shiro.
It's kind of awkward then, because Shiro obviously doesn't know what's happened while he was gone and they can't really hug without giving away the fact that they're sort of lovers not mortal enemies now..
So they go a few days not really talking about the kiss and eventually they talk and Keith realises that by trying to be a good leader he's just been hurting Lance, who has loved him all along and was trying to get over it in his own way (flirting with girls)
So that's that :') Okay that was actually a lot less simple now I wrote it out hahaha
HASTA LA LATER xoxo
(It's been like an hour and I already hate these voiceovers lol give me season 3 already I'm running out of inspiration scoob)

:: Remember! Please NO instagram reposts! ::
This is greatly inspired by one of my favourite AMVs as a teenager, the one that got me into AOT, even though I'm not in that fandom anymore (other than the occasional Jean/Eren vid). Hydrazoite was one of the first editors who motivated me to challenge myself, and test the limits of the stories I could create.
Now that I'm at a level where I could finally attempt this AU, (even though it took over a month RIP), and I'm at a similar age myself, it feels weirdly like I've come full circle.
Kai, if you're reading this, thanks for inspiring me!

S O , L I N K S B E L O W ! (in order of appearance)
http://uqu.tumblr.com/post/148272758789/im-trapped-without-a-computer-again-so-take-a - Khloe's art is so soft and often focuses on particular AUs or fics, they transport you! Also lovely charms and stickers (especially the sweets themed VLD ones!)
http://kiunten.tumblr.com/post/146576784434/tacky-80s-anime-boy - Kiunten man... where do I even start.. the kind of art I'd buy framed from an edgy London gallery... Also Ash draws Gorillaz so 1000 bonus points
http://miyajimamizy.tumblr.com/post/160445541748/jeans-were-made-for-this-handsome-boy-instagram You can tell how much time Mizy has spent getting to know the human form, I particularly love the dancer Lances and the Hunk portraits, so expressive
http://emuyh-art.tumblr.com/post/159018325677/twitter-dump You can't love Klance and not know Emu...? Forest spirit AU is my favourite but also Spideypool Klance (subs might remember I edited them in live action before.. my second biggest OTP to be honest)
http://miyajimamizy.tumblr.com/post/151095585603/im-standing-in-front-of-you-im-standing-in-front I just really love Mizy's faces okay, the expressions are so nice.. Please check out this original Keith, I had to add an apron to fit the theme but I love love the idea of him listening to a ton of music, plus I really want this t-shirt??
http://spicybara.tumblr.com/post/146667775549/ya-girl-loves-keith Lina is my hero because she might be the only artist left alive still drawing Jetko... I love her semi-realism and beautiful colourings/lighting, you should all especially check out her YOI arts they're all SO smooth.
http://dekuhornet.tumblr.com/post/159207761219/llllllance-available-on-redbubble-and-society6 Dekuhornet is awesome? Really nice pastel aesthetic arts, super cute Zukos and also likes Gorillaz what's not to like really
http://emuyh-art.tumblr.com/post/154446697072/twitter-dump Another from Emu, their Lances are too cute and it makes me happy that they spend special time on him/love him wholeheartedly
http://cherryandsisters.tumblr.com/post/161169326589/individual-pictures-from-here Mansi does drawing aesthetics can we talk about how cool that is?? And they're always spot on?? Also the story behind the URL is so cute! I have three sisters :')
http://emuyh-art.tumblr.com/post/157546182402/finally-a-backstory-to-why-i-gave-them-different This comic makes me laugh every time honestly like... I love Keith's mullet but he would totally do this
http://emuyh-art.tumblr.com/post/155738428242/kaorusan241-beautiful-fanart-for-my-take-out-au I originally commissioned this from Emu for my Take-Out AU fic and I could talk about it FOREVER... I had so many annoying details I asked to be included and they made something so perfect out of them, it's basically the best thing I've ever invested in and I love it in every and any context lol bye
:: :: ::
Just a quick note, I am in fact working on more VLD before Season 3 drops, animation only this time. I was going to make it 3 minutes long but I'm not sure if that'll still happen as I got distracted by making this! Regardless, I'll try my best to make it short and sweet. THANK YOU for 11,000 subs! I'm still in shock to be quite honest.
HASTA LA LATER xoxo
