Alice Phantom | {Dani x Beast Boy} Let Me Down Part 8 (Vent MEP) @AlicePhantom | Uploaded June 2017 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
This is for my friend xEmoSnowFlake
As you are all aware, I rarely upload MEP parts. There are two clauses to this: one it is a requirement, or two it relates to me on a personal level. This happens to be the second reason.
Now I never heard this song before I took this part. I heard the lyrics to this part and was like, "Oh yes, this is something I relate to."
Vent:
Okay so I'm still annoyed about my one friend. He had his graduation party today. I assumed he invited the two boys in Crew that I'm somewhat friends with, since all three of them couldn't come to the meeting tonight. (And another girl as well so it was cancelled.) Also I was watching one of the boy's snapchats and I heard his voice in the background. (At least I think it was, but I couldn't mistake that voice anywhere.)
I just don't understand. After everything I've done, after all that we've been through over the years, how could he not invite me? I know I'm acting like I'm entitled. Perhaps I am, but it's not as bad as my ex. At least I didn't try and fish for an invite.
I thought we were closer than that, I thought I was more than the girl who laughs at his jokes. Something like being invited somewhere lets me know that you actually value our friendship, it lets me know you want me around. It validates all the doubts I have about our friendship.
Sure I've only known him since less than a month before freshmen year, and less than the boys, but don't I deserve something like that as well? Is it because I went to a separate school? Is it because I wouldn't know that many people there? Is it me?
I deserve a better friend than him. I deserve so much better. It shouldn't hurt this much, but it does. Some friend he turned out to be I guess. If the next time we see each other he pulls the whole, "Oh I wish you were there" (or if one of the boys does, altho I doubt they would) I will be like, "Wish I was invited."

![Ben and Rook Rap [360p/Higher Quality]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/JZxl7-cPytY/hqdefault.jpg "Ben and Rook Rap [360p/Higher Quality]
Edit 4/10/23: Theres actually a HD version of this over on Vimeo at: https://vimeo.com/164714291 like 7 years ago.
I also posted it too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tllzG2ZNmCE
I found it while going through google cause I was curious. How did I find it? The goddamn Ben 10 Wiki had a link to the video. https://ben10.fandom.com/wiki/Ben_and_Rook_Song
It was on Vimeo this whole time??? Bruh.
Edit 5/6/22 part 2: YouTube rejected my appeal, sorry that the comments are off I cant fix the issue without reuploading it, and well probably be stuck in this situation again. The video is still up because no higherish quality is available anywhere else. My channel is NOT for kids, and Im annoyed that YouTube decided to manually make this video set for kids and disable comments. Just because its a childrens cartoon, doesnt mean I want kids on my videos or my channel. Im a grown ass adult who doesnt want kids anywhere near my content, regardless of what it is. (Can this be set not made for kids if I swear? Cause Ill swear like the fucking 23 year old I am.)
If any parent gets mad that their child is seeing swearing on a kids video description take it up with YouTube because I ALWAYS had this set for not made for kids so comments would be enabled and not recommended for anyone who hasnt heard the word fuck before.
Edit 5/6/22: YouTube manually set this video as made for kids so sorry about comments being disabled. I appealed it since I want comments back on and I manually had this set as not for kids, but knowing YT itll probably be stuck like this. Its up to the individual creator if their content is for children or not, not a fucking corporation. And Ive never had my content made for kids regardless of what media I use. This is bullshit.
I dont post in months, and the first thing I post is something that most people probably dont know about/seen in higher quality? Huh anyway let me explain why this is being uploaded:
While watching the @TheInkTanks Ben 10 Iceberg video the other day he mentioned about the Ben and Rook rap. He didnt know the context behind it, and it was possibly international commercials as opposed to American CN. He mentioned that there was only bad quality uploads of this rap available. I knew from years ago I had the rap downloaded in somewhat better quality so I went to my hard drive to find the video I had of it, and luckily I still had it.
I do have this Rap at the end of my Why I Think Ben/Rook Is Canon video, but since theres no higher quality video available by itself, I wanted to share with my fellow Ben 10 fans the Rap in better quality for everyone to enjoy. (Plus comments enabled since my channel is set for Not made for kids)
I originally downloaded the Rap on February 22nd 2014 from YouTube, but the original video has been privatized since then. (The original Ben and Rook rap may have been way higher quality, but back then I didnt know what I was doing with downloading YouTube videos at high quality, so this is the best I have of it sorry.)
Based on the comments of MagicMangos TV recording of the bumper the higher quality version has been private for at least 6 years. (They mention that it popped up between commercials on their CN, and based on their DeviantArt theyre from the Philippines so the international thing could be true.)
I would not be doing my duty as a long time Ben 10 fan, and someone who has edited Ben 10 for years by not posting this for everyone to enjoy.

![{Dick Grayson} High Hopes [Thanks for the 6K!]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/JwUAr4srPOE/hqdefault.jpg "{Dick Grayson} High Hopes [Thanks for the 6K!]
First off: HOLY TORTELLINI THIS VIDEO. Originally this wasnt going to be for 6K, but I ended up getting 6K as it was being made, so why not? Not like I was doing it for another reason lmao. Thanks for the 6K everyone! :D (Even if I dont post much of what youre subscribed to me for.)
I actually was on the fence about making this video, mostly cause I didnt think Id be able to do a full length kinda candy style video. Ironically I started this on my birthday (the 21st), took a week break since I was on vacation, came back and did this off and on until last night when I FINALLY got it all complete. Yall know where my priorities lie if Im doing this instead of studying for exams or RL stuff that needs to get done lmao.
A big shout out to my friend in the Batman Writers Unite Facebook group for hooking me up with a TON of Dick Grayson comic panels when I asked if anyone could send me some. Shes the real MVP, because I doubt there would have been much comics in here if it wasnt for her sending me so many.
Id like to point out that this video is the MOST layers I have ever done in my video editing career. The total amount of video layers came to 165. It probably couldve been less, since it was a mess with stuff sometimes but I figured it out. Im honestly surprised there isnt a Dick Grayson High Hopes video out there since this song IS LITERALLY DICK.
I ended up using the Caleb Hyles version over the original for the sake of, the laugh at the beginning and his version had more beats I could use for effects. Also for the sake of, I knew this project was going to take time and this song is constantly on the radio. I didnt want to hit myself with a brick because I was so tired of the original lol.
ALSO FORGOT TO ADD THIS WHEN I ORIGINALLY UPLOADED THIS. I was really really inspired by the High Hopes Adrien/Chat Noir MEP MiraculousLovePairings did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3dVJA_XFZg so slight inspiration credit goes to the editors in that MEP, since if it wasnt for them idk if I wouldve made this video lol.
Btw, if yall know me you know that Dick isnt actually a favorite DC character of mine. I do like him dont get me wrong, but he wouldnt be my first choice of Which Robin I like the best? or Which Batbro do I like the best?. Why did I try so hard? Just to see if I could lol, but after working on this for quite some time I can see why some people love him so much. Just one thing though: long hair Dick is best Dick dont @ me.
I tried to use every animated Dick Grayson I had downloaded at least once, or at least the animated universe that Dick Grayson is in, which is why I have so much media in here. Its not all the media Dick is in, obviously, because I can name at least three I know of off the top of my head that I dont have downloaded. So no, Wheres Dick from x? If that media isnt in here, its most likely I dont have it at the time this video was made.
I will not answer the which comic is this from? because I do not know the answer to the majority of the comics I used. The only two I know for certain are the Teen Titans GO! comics and the Young Justice comics, everything else I dont know where the source is so please do us both a favor and not ask lol.
All the media I used in here: (In order): Young Justice, The Batman, Teen Titans, Batman: Bad Blood, Young Justice: Invasion, Batman Ninja, Batman: Unlimited: Nightwing and Red Robin vs Silverback, Batman The Animated Series, Under The Red Hood, The New Batman Adventures, Arkham Knight, Batman Unlimited: Animal Instincts, Teen Titans Go, and JLA Adventures: Trapped In Time. (Thats a mouthful jfc.)
Note: The JLA Adventures: Trapped In Time Robin was never actually confirmed to be Dick, but like Im 99% sure hes Dick so thats why it was used lol.")
![[SV] Backwards Timecode Video/PNG Render {Tut #4}](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LK-APmyqUXQ/hqdefault.jpg "[SV] Backwards Timecode Video/PNG Render {Tut #4}
My friend Lyoko2516 (who yall should sub to if you like Code Lyoko lol) asked me how to get timecode, and the way she phrased it seemed like she wanted it as a countdown instead of a countup.
This is like my first Tut since like January? Lol. Ive been meaning to get a masking Tut up, but thatll take a while to edit because of all the stops and stuff.
I do realize NewBlue and Sapphire (I think?) have their own time stuff, but I dont think she has those, plus I dont use timecodes from there anyway. Maybe they have a countdown there.
Before I got the extra effects, I knew there was a timecode somewhere. The reason I did both Video/PNG is because PNG files tend to be smoother then video. If I actually checked and had them at the same time, which I originally though until I rendered the full codes on each, you could probably see which is smoother.
On the thumbnail the left of the time is the video and the right is PNG. You can adjust size and what not and move it around, I just chose to keep it in a specific place for convenience.
This is probably a no brainer, and a why did you do this? video. But even the simplest things we overlook. Hell it took me awhile to realize, insert empty media was a thing. (It works for stuff like this and some visible transitions.)
If I actually bothered to look through frames more, I couldve caught some me hitting my taskbar, oh well. *Shrugs* Whats done is done I guess.
PS: I rarely take Tut requests. I only did it this time, because it was easier to show her how to do this instead of typing out and/or sending screenshots. So yea. Got this done in less than an hour, lol.
