the kids arent alright ✧ kaveh

Red the Mudkip 2024-10-13 | red? uploading at an ungodly hour of the night? shocking. what else is new. anyways hi did you know that this AMV was supposed to be done FOR KAVEH'S BIRTHDAY on JULY NINTH which was OVER THREE MONTHS AGO? I was doing so great. it was like the weekend before his birthday and I was halfway done and I was like hell yeah I got this, I'm getting this done on time. spoiler alert I Did Not Get It Done On Time. kaveh baby boy I'm so sorry.

this video was so so painful to make and is probably just as unpleasant to watch lmao. at first I was like "kaveh has hours of footage! I'm sure I can make this work with relative ease!" but I was wrong, actually. because here is the thing about genshin impact cutscenes. either they're the most beautiful prerendered cinematics you've ever seen, or they're an ugly series of half-body shots where the character models stand around and stiffly move their arms. HALF-BODY SHOTS. EVERYTHING IS A HALF-BODY SHOT and it's AGONIZING to edit with. searching for a visually interesting cutscene to utilize is like pulling teeth. and here is the OTHER thing: kaveh has a beautiful story, but a lot of it is only told through text. his depressing home life as a child? his deeply emotional reunion with the only person who could ever really see through him? those are all only in his character stories babeyyy!

so I had to get a little bit creative lol. the "footage" of his reunion with Al-Haitham at Lambad's is a manip -- I restarted his hangout quest, brought Haitham in to stand at a distance, recorded the footage of that, and masked them together afterwards. I also enlisted the help of multiple strangers in co-op (literally just hopped into their worlds like "HEYYY do you have a Kaveh and/or a Haitham," thanks to the 2-3 people who participated in that, you were the MVPs). there are many shots in this AMV that were recorded all by myself, and even a scene built in my Serenitea Pot... see if you can spot everything :D

and, of course, I made the sketchbook bits myself, which is why they are such an eyesore hahaha. the entries are taken from Kaveh's second-to-last character story, which is just titled "Old Sketchbook." please please please go read Kaveh's character stories; they're great.

I wanted to use as little fanart as possible, but ended up having to do so in order to properly depict kaveh's backstory -- credit to these incredible artists:

all that said, time to get sappy! this man means the universe to me. I have already talked so much about him to practically anyone who will listen, but like, I cannot ever overstate it. he walked into my life one fateful day in May 2023 and... well, he didn't change the trajectory of my life or anything, but he gave me the strength to recover from a very bad period of my life. I haven't related THIS hard to a character in a very, very long time. his undying passion for art, his debilitating guilt complex, his unmedicated ADHD swag,

and his story destroys me. in the face of everything he has been through, he still chooses to be kind. he chooses to give every piece of himself away for others, chooses to stick to his ideals and his sense of justice, even when he knows it's not the smart thing to do, even when he knows he will just hurt himself. perhaps, even, BECAUSE he knows he will hurt himself. see the aforementioned debilitating guilt complex. Kaveh is selfless, but that never ever means he's perfect. as I have stated several times before, he is like if Madoka Kaname somehow survived long enough to become a working adult. I just. really love that the story props him up as an altruist, then goes out of its way to say that *that isn't a good thing,* but it also isn't a bad thing. he just is. that is just how he chooses to live his life, and it's up to you to decide how you feel about that. hooooly hell. the way his worldview is juxtaposed against Al-Haitham's is SO GOOD.

speaking of Al-Haitham. their relationship is SO important. I originally wanted to edit this in chronological order, but in trying to match the lyrics, it turned out such that the first verse is an exploration of 3.6 and how Kaveh's backstory leads up to the climax, while the second verse is an exploration of his relationship with Haitham. because. because what if you and your best friend hurt each other so irrevocably that you were outright enemies for years and then he finally extended the olive branch in your hour of need when nobody else would and that SHOULD have been the happy ending but reconciliation is a long and terrible road and you are still sorting out the pain of growing back into your relationship and trying to forgive each other every day. I'm reaching character limit but before I go, the synonym of companion is fool/mirror/entrapment/partner, etc., etc. ttyl bye

CRAZY/GENIUS — A Completely Normal Alhaitham GMV

Red the Mudkip 2024-04-23 | you know, I went on a very long hiatus and almost quit editing entirely. for a while, was devising my big comeback. "the first thing I'll make is an Umineko MMV," I thought. I never got around to that. "or maybe the first thing I'll post is an easy raw edit with Madoka Magica, and I can explain my absence in the description." then I played UTY with my friends and thought "oh hell yeah I'm going to make a Starlo AMV." and so on and so on. never in a million years did I think that my first uploaded AMV in over a year would be, uh, this thing I threw together in 5 hours

this hasn't yet been documented on my youtube channel (because you know, hiatus), but Literally Anyone Who Knows Me can tell you that I have a serious problem about Al-Haitham. it is very very very very bad. it started in july/august 2022 when he got leaked and I was like "oh hey a character based on the islamic golden age, cool, I am very excited for good representation." ohhhhhhhhh my god I didn't KNOW what kind of obsession would spawn out of this. he is my LEAST FAVORITE character. he is my FAVORITE character. he drives me insane. every word that comes out of his mouth is a reddit comment. he is so kind-hearted and caring. he is literally the most annoying and abrasive man I've ever had the displeasure of listening to. if you locked us in a room together it would end in either cardiac arrest or a murder. HE'S SO HOT AND FOR WHAT?

anyways this was a stress relief edit. I am so incredibly At My Limit bc I have finals and am Definitely not gonna finish things on time (lololol say goodbye to getting my degree in December I guess). soooooooo I decided to make the problem worse by dropping everything and making an AMV! I couldn't focus on my work anyway :D so I figured I'd do SOMETHING with my time, at least, instead of staring at my computer screen in dread. haitham bullying time!! this is the song that plays in his headphones 24/7 btw. he's such a loser

anyways I'm going to bed because I haven't slept at all tonight. thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed my ironic AMV because apparently the hiatus erased my ability to make a serious edit

Who Is Inigo but I added a vine boom every time it deals me psychic damage

Red the Mudkip 2023-11-07 | sorry to go radio silent for over a year and then come back with a meme about Inigo Fire Emblem as if it's 2016. anyways I suddenly remembered this video, and even the original reaction vid cannot articulate how absurd it is. how HARD every single line makes me laugh. so here is a vine boom edit to reflect that. shoutout to Jo for enabling me. headphone warning I guess

the recreation I used: youtube.com/watch?v=kXcJZaYxZA8

will I ever upload again? who knows

you (still) like the good boys ♡ for mitzi

Red the Mudkip 2022-09-03 | Hi everyone! This is not my best vid BUT that's okay because it is a fun little thing I made for Mitzi!!! because it's her birthday!!!! Happy birthday, Mitzi, I love you so much :D Thank you for being the greatest.

So... yeah, I remade my first ever(?) gift for you. just for funsies. I wanted to have this done by the time we met in July, but I was so busy preparing that I didn't have the opportunity to edit much xD so I decided to have it done for your birthday. This song aaalways reminds me of you, and those days back in 2016-ish when we were still discovering that we had so many ships in common, commenting on each other's vids all the time... I still remember my thought process when making the original video all those years ago, making sure I paid tribute to your FE husbandos and your main PKMN ships because we talked about them SO MUCH. (this time I tried to include all the ships you've told me about/we've bonded over! definitely couldn't fit all of them in though)

Getting to know you all those years ago was a pleasure, but every year since then we've gotten even closer, and now you're more than just a cool friend -- you're my sister. you are just as much of a sister to me as my blood sister. I adore you and I care about you and every moment I spend with you, even when we're talking about terrible things, is priceless.

I'm grateful to you for every joyful moment we share, for giving me the best feeling ever when I was finally able to hug you in person, for telling me shark facts and giving me editing tips and complaining about your job and gushing about our fandoms and rolling Genshin characters on stream with me. Thank you. no matter what's going on, and how we're feeling, I'm always happy and safe with you, & I hope I can make you feel the same way.

Life has put a lot of pressure on you, but you keep going. and it Really Sucks at some points!! but even then you still go and go and go. and I know sometimes it feels like there's no happy end in sight, like you're destined to be miserable and force a smile forever, but you stick it out anyway, waiting for the joyful moments to come back around. and I'm proud of you for that, dude. that takes strength. know that you never have to brave it alone, okay? I've always got your back.

Happy birthday, again. I love you so much :')

(P.S. the default thumbnail was "this is where the fun begins")

Red the Mudkip 2022-08-12 | I have the worst sore throat but I powered through the pain & made this because it is my moral obligation to complain about Adobe whenever I can. pray for me pls

MEP Collection #8

Red the Mudkip 2022-07-03 | PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION FOR ART CRED AND TRIGGER WARNINGS

--
You wanna know why this video is over half a year late and grotesquely long? YOU WANNA KNOW? (other than me being busy with IRL stuff?) It's because I kept telling myself "I'll upload this as soon as I finish my last Electropop part." And I still haven't finished my last Electropop part. Dicey I am so sorry. I'll finish it one day

But yeah I had to omit a LOT of later parts, especially raw parts, because like I said, this was already horrendously long compared to the rest of my MEP collections. I also probably have to keep this description short bc I'm sure the list will take up a lot of the character limit. One thing I will say: I'm happy I got to edit more Pegokita this year :) and I'm satisfied with my improvement.

Somethings Gotta Give ✧ Persona 3 & 5 AMV ✧ Happy Pegokita Day!

Red the Mudkip 2022-05-04 | if you enjoyed the video, please consider liking & retweeting on twitter: twitter.com/nerevarising/status/1521790072298754048

anyways, HAPPY (belated) PEGOKITA DAY!! It is 2:40AM on May 4th where I live, so I am... technically not *that* late. We will not speak of the woe that this video caused me. Instead, I will just say that it was worth every single second of pain and effort, and I am really grateful I got the opportunity to make an ambitious vid for my OTP. I have never masked this much in my LIFE -- hopefully I managed to convey the... general story of the video?! xD

Seriously, I poured my heart and soul into this. Akira and Minato mean so much to me, both as individual characters, as protagonists of the games they're from, and as a ship. It's been like... three years since I started shipping this, and it almost immediately became my OTP of all OTPs. It dethroned BurningLeaf, which was my favorite ship for over 15 years!! For a couple of characters who have never canonically met (and have the barest of official interactions), I sure latched onto them quickly... I promise it started as a joke. I have no idea how it got to this point. But this is my ode to them, and I hope it conveys how much they mean to me.

Endless thanks to Mitzi for beta-ing this, and to Jo and everyone else for cheering me on while I got this done. I could not have completed the video without you -- I love you all.

And again, happy late Pegokita day!

Red the Mudkip 2021-12-26 | WARNING: the song in this video contains mentions of suicidal ideation. furthermore, the clips in the video imply a suicide attempt by one of the characters. if this subject will trigger you, please take care of yourself and avoid viewing the video.

--

hi! did you know that I have had this video idea in my head for literal years? the first time I heard this song, I immediately thought of the cell phone scene from Madoka Rebellion. in fact, when I sat down to edit this, I started from that scene and then the rest just kind of came into existence. this vid was meant to follow canon more closely but.... uh... I don't know what happened. that ending can be interpreted however you want it to be. bad dream? wakes up in hospital? resets the time loop? up to you!

kyomura is one of my two OTPs in the series, and I rarely get to edit them, so... this has been on the to-do list for a while. today was a rough Christmas (I don't celebrate bc I'm not Christian, but whatever) and I decided it was a better time than ever to finally make this vid a reality. but to be honest, I have no idea why I'm uploading this. it's technically unfinished -- I tried to edit the second verse, because I had some really good ideas, but it just isn't clicking with me for some reason. so I gave up and cut it off here. generally I think I'm unsatisfied with it, but whatever, kyomura owns my heart and soul.

so take it, and have a great day. :D

just the two of us ✦ albedo amv (genshin impact)

Red the Mudkip 2021-11-23 | hello everybody! before anybody mentions it, sorry I haven't been talking on social media/discord/youtube comments sections. I promise I don't hate you, I've simply forgotten how to exist and interact in interpersonal relationships

anyways happy Albedo Rerun :) I've been meaning to make this vid for a few months now -- when I heard that Albedo's VA had covered this song, I was like "yo I have to make a vid out of it." I love love LOVE Dragonspine, hands-down my favorite region in the game, and I also adore Albedo for his connection to it, so this was the perfect opportunity to show my love for a pretty underrated area of Genshin. But I'm a master procrastinator and put off the whole idea until this week because we just got a new trailer and cool new clips and the first few scenes just clicked in my head.

except when I sat down to make the rest of it, I ran into a problem. this is a love song. I do have some Albedo ships that could've worked, but I wanted this to be a character-centric AMV, and a ship would've taken away from that. So, my cheap way of reconciling those two facts: this is no longer a love song, it's a "my dead brother is an evil dragon and I want to spend as much time near his corpse to learn the truth about myself" song.

(plus, we have no real shippy cutscenes w/ Albedo, and I was not about to recruit an Albedo main to stand around next to my Traveler or Sucrose while I recorded footage for 2 hours. I really am just lazy and wanted to use cutscenes lmao)

Albedo is an interesting character bc he's filled with wonder and curiosity for the outside world, but at the same time there are so many unknowns and mysteries *within* him. Listen, I don't have him (yet), so idk if this is confirmed in his profile stories, but I would like to think that Albedo exploring the world is his way of exploring himself. "Chalk pursues gold," right? He wants to know how Rhinedottir made him and whether he can do that again. And a large part of that, I would imagine, is studying Dragonspine, because that is Durin's ultimate resting place. I'd like to think Dragonspine is where he feels most at peace, because that's where he's closest to the answers to all his unknowns. Closest to Durin, to Rhinedottir, and probably close to Khaenri'ah considering how many Ruin machines there are in Dragonspine.

And I really wanted to capture this side of him; the side that's enamored with this desolate snowy mountain and eager to learn more about himself & unlock his potential. It's like a quiet, meditative self-discovery, except through alchemic research that may or may not end up angering God.

If you're a Genshin player who hasn't yet delved into the lore, I highly recommend that you do so. It's incredible, and has been holding me over while I wait for the sixth installment of a.......... certain *other* open-world fantasy RPG series that's also rife with lore.

anyways it's almost midnight and probably none of this made sense lmao so I'll stop. Mr. Albedo Kreideprinz Genshin Impact please come home to me

Goodbye, Apathy ✦ RDR2

Red the Mudkip 2021-09-27 | warning for an obnoxious amount of voiceovers. I'm not sorry. I needed a way to capture the frantic emotional energy of this game's ending and the only way I could figure out how to do that was through a ridiculous amount of overlapping voices.

aaanyways. I started working on this vid on March 21st, over half a year ago! and I was just stuck because I didn't know how to keep going with it. I wanted it to be way longer; wanted to include more scenes with Rains Fall and Eagle Flies because honestly they were some of my favorite characters in the game. but it's been too long and I just said screw it & decided to upload this as it is.

it's not the best vid. but it means a lot to me. because RDR2 was the perfect prequel to an already fantastic story. my brother and I beat the second game together this March, and... and long story short it hit way closer to home than I thought it would. I have so many thoughts about it that I can't put into words -- about broken friendships and death and making things right and moving on and everything. this is my love letter to the game that anchored me for months.

I chose this song, specifically, because the lyrics fit Arthur so well. from the references to not being able to breathe & move (lolololol) to giving everything you have for the sake of someone you love... to slowly learning how to feel peace, shedding the chains of apathy as you begin to see that your choices matter and you need to try to fix things even though it's too late. this whole theme, of Arthur trying to do the right thing despite the fact that it doesn't matter anymore, even though he's already made so many mistakes, although he's a dead man walking ("we're more ghosts than people"), is.... inspirational. to put it lamely. I don't have a better word for it, but it touched me so deeply.

and then there's John. trying to fill the shoes of the only positive role model you've had, the man you loved the most, the man who gave his life so you and your wife and child could thrive: it weighs on John. he never says it but it's so apparent. he wants to be the man Arthur knew he could be. but it's so hard to follow the deceased's wishes when that wish is to let go and move on. after beating RDR2 I went straight back to replay RDR1 and the transition is genuinely seamless. Arthur, as a concept, didn't even EXIST at the time the game was made -- and yet he's there, somehow. you feel him with every word John says. it's crazy. kind of magical.

(and then there's my... "alternate" reading of the "you're my brother" line. John Marston is a man living in the 1800s with a wife and a child, and he probably has a ton of internalized homophobia. as someone who ALSO is very deep in the closet IRL because I live in a vehemently homophobic environment, I know with a lot of my crushes I've told them they're "like a sibling to me" because I've wanted so badly to confess my love but have been too afraid to say it like it is. and that's what I see in John's parting words to Arthur, personally. I understand most people like to interpret it as literally them being "found brothers," which is really sweet! but that's my take, and it's very important to me, so I just had to put it out there.)

even if you haven't played the first Red Dead Redemption game (which you SHOULD), I recommend the second one for sure. it's a prequel so you don't need background info at all. there are sad cowboys. sad gay cowboys. what else could you ever want?

special thanks to Lena and Kyle, who taught me how to make my voiceovers actually sound good lol. and of course to my older brother for playing this hell of a game with me. love you guys.

famous last words || pegokita amv

Red the Mudkip 2021-07-14 | it's not good form to post a vent edit of your obscure weeb crackship right after you gain a hundred subscribers from a low-effort meme video. but here we are. my brand is crackship amvs, ESPECIALLY protag x protag crackships, and if you're subscribed to me you're gonna get what you asked for. that's your warning, new subs who are here from the ao3 vid.

uh, with that out of the way, i. don't really know what to say. i guess like i said, this is a vent edit, and deeply personal to me in both the choice of song and pairing. i've had no motivation to edit anything at all, but... there's something about these two that makes me feel better every time i load up their fanart in vegas. this took only 3-4 hours and it shows lmao. i started this at 11pm and it's 2am now. i got lazy and stopped putting in typography bc otherwise this would've taken three times as long.

--
2am rant about stuff that doesn't matter incoming:
but yeah. i'm at a low place in my life right now and i needed to get things off my chest. i hate myself but i have so many people who love me and i keep accidentally pushing them away when they try to help even though i KNOW need help. i feel like an awful person, honest to god, i think i AM an awful person. and i just want to hurt myself and watch myself to get worse and worse and then die a miserable human being because i feel like i deserve that. but then there are so many people who would be sad if i died and i feel like i'm being unfair to them by not letting them help but it's so difficult to open up and let other people see what's troubling me. i don't WANT to need people's help! i want to be able to handle my issues on my own and just be there for other people when THEY need it. opening up is uncomfortable. i don't like sharing what's on my mind. and yet. i can't function without outside help. my life's falling apart because instead of telling someone that something is Very Wrong i've been withdrawing.
--

if i haven't been responding to reminders for meps or even just chatting, this is why. i'm kind of a mess atm hahaha. i'll be better though.

i feel like i ought to talk a little bit about pegokita... if we know each other, or even if you just pay close attention to my vids, chances are you're aware that i fell in love with this ship circa 2019 and haven't looked back since. i can't say there's one specific thing that draws me to them...

but i do like the way they parallel each other in a way that was probably unintentional even by the writers. moon and star, messiah and satanael, red and blue, a tower that spirals upwards and a subway station that delves down. they even point their guns in opposite directions lol.

and, i know that persona protagonists are supposed to be blank slates, but i firmly believe they show *plenty* of personality in the games without having to speak... i'm so tired rn and i don't have the energy to dissect every detail in the games but it feels like the thematic parallels extend into their personalities as well. the way they act and think and behave complements one another. again, they *are* blank slates in the end, so there's a level of projection and a lot of headcanon that I'm putting in there... but i'm sure anyone can see what i mean, at least on a surface level. hopefully. hopefully i'm not crazy hahaha.

anyways, thanks for watching. and thanks for reading if you got this far down. sorry for incoherent sleeping-with-my-eyes-open late night thoughts

I found AO3 fic titles for every lyric of Sugar, Were Goin Down by Fall Out Boy

Red the Mudkip 2021-06-22 | inspired by this vid and others like it: twitter.com/birbiebi/status/1400532652432691200

It's uh 1AM now. this was surprisingly more tedious than I expected but also didn't take as long as I expected somehow. anyways there is a hilarious trend of people calling out fanfic authors for naming their stories after emo song lyrics so... I figured I'd jump on it with my personal favorite band, Fall Out Boy. I also have the terrible habit of naming my fics after FOB songs (although none of my fics are in this vid). it was fun to make and I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did assembling it. thanks for watching!

“next time I shall edit more [Pegokita],” I said in my last MEP collection’s description, and then proceeded to only have one Pegokita part in this one ;~;

Idk I can’t believe this vid is already three and a half minutes long… I wanted to put in some more MEP parts that I have yet to finish, but I didn’t want the vid to get too lengthy so you’re getting it right now.

Anyways… I think I’m at a point in my editing journey that I just don’t care anymore. xD I tried my hardest to improve in the middle there (as you can see with the Genshin part) and I definitely think I’ve learned a lot of things about parent track motion. My college classes have given me some insight into how to use colors more effectively too so I hope that’s apparent in what I’ve been doing.

That said, hope you enjoy :D

Headed Straight to the (Mogeko) Castle ✦ MEP Part 5

Red the Mudkip 2021-02-28 | [ WARNING for epilepsy/eye strain; this video may be unpleasant to look at if you have trouble with quick flashes or glitches! Please watch with care! ]

lol sorry I post so infrequently and also that my last upload ("to the end") is inaccessible -- YT categorized it incorrectly so I panicked and privated it.

Anyways, all that I have to show you all for now is a short MEP part, but it's because I'm proud of it. Sort of. Idk. I really like that I was able to convey the imagery I had in mind WITHOUT having to use fanart -- it's always nice to find creative uses for official or in-game assets. Mogeko Castle was one hell of a game, and honestly, I can't say I would've been able to sit the whole way through if I had been playing by myself. Fortunately, it was a group of us watching Jo play it together so that comforted me a bit. xD I'm very bad with horror/dark comedy. BUT. Yonaka is such a precious girl, and I love Defect Mogeko to bits!! I wish they could've gotten a happy ending together. As a big Okegom fan in general I'm glad I was able to experience the game that started it all.

This MEP part is for OkegomTeam (whom I have had SO much fun working with), and this song w/ this color palette and this fandom just immediately made me think of Mogeko Castle. I'd like to thank everyone at OT for being so friendly and supportive of one another. It's an environment I've come to cherish, and it's always nice to bond over one of my favorite fandoms. Y'all are super sweet AND godly at editing. Extra special thanks to Kaoni for giving me some direction on where to take this MEP part :') I appreciate it!

Anyways, that's all, catch you guys later :D

the last blues ✧ evillious chronicles

Red the Mudkip 2020-12-06 | [ MILD FLASHING WARNING FROM 0:12 TO 0:27 ]

You thought this would be a regular Daughter of Evil edit, but it was I, the lesbian nun propagandist!
hi everyone it's Red again & this time I'm here to preach about this underrated ship from an underrated HELL of a Vocaloid series I accidentally fell into when I was like 14. but before I do that here's some quick notes;

-yeah it looks like garbage I'm Sorry it was a vent edit
-yes I know the PV I used is not canon-compliant. I think it looks pretty and I needed moving images that weren't super cutesy and also even if Ney is the one who killed Michaela I STILL LIKE THE AESTHETIC OF ALLEN RELUCTANTLY STABBING HIS FIRST LOVE TO DEATH IN A FOREST leave me alone ;w;
-for those of you who don't know, yes, the characters look familiar because they're based on Vocaloids -- this is an AMV for a series of Vocaloid songs (which were adapted into light novels & manga)
-shoutout to Mitzi for beta'ing the first 10 seconds of this and also listening to me infodump about evichro in the hopes that she'd get into it
-shoutout to Jo for putting up with my evichro BS for like, 5 years at this point

with that aside!! I was really excited to edit this because I haven't edited Evillious since, what, 2017 maybe? and those were really bad MEP parts. it's nice to be able to dedicate a significant amount of effort to interpreting one of my favorite series as a video. this video was actually supposed to focus solely on Clarith and Riliane, but because they have NEXT TO NO CONTENT available on the internet (I have no access to the Act 3 and 4 manga chapters), I had to pad it out with some of the other DoE characters in the first half. which kind of worked out because one of the most interesting things about these two is the fact that their backstories are so similar. they come from completely different places and are of wildly different social statuses. for almost the entire story, they're bitter enemies, even if they've never met each other. but one thing's for certain: they were lonely, miserable people before their respective "special person" came along.

in Clarith's case, that "special person" was someone she came to love romantically, while for Riliane, that person was simply her brother -- but either way, Michaela and Allen both served as the reasons for them to smile and go on.

but unlike Clarith, Riliane doesn't know what she has until she loses it. the war takes both Allen and Michaela in the end, and their two loved ones are left to cope on their own. it's a really beautiful thing that Riliane found her way to the monastery where Clarith fled to; somehow, they became the best of friends, when unknowingly they had hated each other not long before. if Clarith had known who Riliane really was, there is absolutely NO way she would've treated her as kindly.
so when Clarith overhears Riliane in the confessional, she's faced with a dilemma. this lovely, beautiful person she's gotten to know is the stone-hearted genocidal lunatic who laughed as Michaela died. what is she going to do? well, Seth interferes because of course he does, and Clarith ends up deciding she'll stab Riliane that night. but like.

when Allen's spirit jumps in front of Riliane to protect her, it's literal sure, but it's also metaphorical to me. as if in that moment, Clarith realized that Riliane had her own special person in Allen. just like Clarith, she was also a lonely little girl who had nothing until someone else came along, and then that very very important person was taken away from her. in a way, the only difference between Clarith and Riliane had been circumstance.

and it's that moment of hesitation, when she breaks free of Seth's influence and opts out of killing Riliane, that means everything to me. it's why I ship this. because of the idea that someone could forgive another person, no matter how evil they had once been, all for the fact that that person was a human too. it would be hard to stop ourselves from bringing the knife down if we were in Clarith's situation. the fact that she was able to realize for herself that Riliane had also been through a lot, and genuinely wanted to change; and she was willing to control her own anger for the sake of giving someone a chance to be better: that's the bottom line. Clarith truly becomes the kind of person Michaela was, in that moment

would Clarith have even planned to kill Riliane if Seth hadn't manifested there? I don't know. maybe it's spelled out in the manga, maybe I'll find out when I finally buy and read it for myself. but does it really matter? in the end, regardless of why she found herself on that beach in the first place, Clarith was able to come to terms with the fact that even the Daughter of Evil was a human being too.

thanks for watching, and if you've gotten to the bottom here, thanks for reading.

You know, I tend to write stuff here in the description but at this point I have nothing to say bc I'm so tired. I am cry this has been so stressful. man this year sucked but oh well what can you do about it.
yes, I am aware that the first half of this video looks like trash, but I didn't wanna scrap the parts I did for Lena's birthday, so here we are. I actually had 3 Pegokita parts that I did for this collection (which is still too little), but I scrapped one of them bc I wasn't proud of it at all. it was supposed to be for the Sledgehammer MEP. it's okay, next time. next time I shall edit them more.

Your very existence is just a total gift that I'm forever grateful for. I hope you can feel our unfiltered adoration through this li'l vid :'D we decided to use a The Cab song because they are basically your brand!!!! Enjoy!!

Dear Maria, Count Me In! ✦ SilverWingShipping ✦ For Lena

Red the Mudkip 2020-07-24 | HIIIIIIIIIII I'M HERE UPLOADING A VID AT MIDNIGHT AGAIN BUT I MADE IT FOR MY BAE THE ONE AND ONLY BEAUTIFUL POKELSOUMA WHOM I LOVE VERY MUCH!!!!!!!

so first of all SORRY the quality is god-awful, it was nearly impossible to find old PokeAni footage that was decent quality. Mitzi was kind enough to help me w/ the Movie 2000 footage so a major thank you to her ;v; and also I'm sorry the actual edit is like less than 10 seconds buT IT'S SO HARD TO EDIT TWO OBSCURE CHARACTERS WHO HAVE NEVER MET and I tried my best and I hope it looks,, presentable lol!!! (I doubt it does!!)

but hi!! Lena!!!! this is a gift for you!!!!!! partially because I've been meaning to make a gift for you for ages, partially because I couldn't make a solo gift for your birthday, partially because I feel bad about missing out on Grow As We Go, and entirely because I just really freaking love you. You are making me ship these two more and more as every day goes by, and my god, they are like the crackship to end all crackships. how OBSCURE. you have ALL of my respect. I figured this would be the perfect ship to use in a vid for you but oh god I overestimated how long this would be & I didn't wanna ruin the surprise by asking you for your manips I'm SO SORRY---------

but ummm yes yes I hope at the very least it puts a smile on your face! You mean the world to me!!!

and for everyone else, thanks for reading through the description, and for watching! have a lovely day!

yu thought it was over. ha

MEP Collection #5

Red the Mudkip 2020-05-26 | [ if you know the credits for the unsourced fanart, please contact me! ]
˚ 　 ✫ 　　　 ˚ . 　　　 ⋆
So. I don't like this anywhere near as much as my last MEP collection. It feels way less satisfying to watch, and I only actually like a handful of these parts. Maybe I just don't enjoy the songs this time as much as the ones from last time (except I really love some of these lol)? Maybe quarantine just has me feeling uninspired? Bleh. I left out a couple of the ones that I especially hated.

There was a collab intro that I was proud of and really wanted to include here, but well, it's an intro, and it's for something that's going up on my channel so I don't want to spoil it.

I don't have much to say, since I'm really tired now, but maybe I'll edit this description later. Without further ado, here's the tracklist; I tried to keep parts from the same MEP together so I'd have less trouble listing them than I did last time.

Red the Mudkip 2020-05-19 | Red PokeCrackStudio - 05/06/2020
you can pinpoint the exact moment I stopped pretending this was a serious edit

so I started this like two weeks ago and then gave up at Zelda but then I decided I'd pick it back up again tonight but then I got tired and just made the last part garbage. it's nearly 1AM my back hurts and I feel as dead as the two characters at the end :)

I know Miku and Michaela are technically the same but I was too lazy to go find transparent official art of Allen by himself so I was like. well let me just use the clip of him killing Michaela. also, I tried to organize by fandom, but then I forgot to include Yukari in the Persona part so I was like what the hell I'll put her and Mitsuru at the end

take me out & well karaoke! ✦ okegom amv

Red the Mudkip 2020-04-17 | watch me fall back into Okegom hell three years later RIP -- but uh yo. 55 seconds of FX editing. it's a few hours late, my back hurts, and this was ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT. Because this is an anniversary gift to the ever-lovely Jo.
I know, it feels like every other vid I make is a gift for him, but he means a lot to me. And he makes me really happy. And he's the center of my world. In these four years, we've grown a lot, and learned from each other, and I'm just really grateful to have someone as precious as him in my life. He's my best friend and just. hh. I've seen him change, I've seen him discover who he is and I couldn't be prouder. Jo, thank you for sticking around and making my life worthwhile.
So here it is: a half SameWada, half TGG vid. Those are two of your favorite things and I knew I just had to create content for one of your (and my!) favorite fandoms. It's not much, but I hope it puts a smile on your face.

Yoooo this is a collab w/ the lovely Rowan/EndOwl, whose channel you can find right here: youtube.com/channel/UCQxUzTZAy51jsHmpF1uEoUw

They approached me a couple of weeks ago with the idea of Flayn x Ferdinand as a ship and I fell RIGHT in love. Their supports are adorable because what's better than a pure sweetheart? TWO pure sweethearts. and there's endless potential for both fluff and angst and it's hhhhhh they are SO underrated, god bless. I hope you all enjoy && be sure to sub to Rowan for their incredible work!!

like the man i know im not. || shuake vent

Red the Mudkip 2020-02-23 | EDIT 2/22/2020: decided to unprivate this vid because I'm feeling a little bit better and it's not half-bad. It's really short but I hope you enjoy it.

---
ORIGINAL 2/18/2020:

gonna keep this unlisted. not really sure who i'm going to send it to, other than jo, who asked to see it. i really wanted to use more of the song but i got pretty burnt out. actually i think i'll make a full-length death note amv with this someday, when i'm finished rewatching that whole series

it's 9:30 pm and i have an essay due tomorrow and i haven't even started it wwww maybe i'll just skip out

but yeah. i don't have much else to say. these two have been on my mind a lot lately. and i've been having some serious thoughts about the future & feeling lonely & i just kind of needed an outlet for everything i guess. shuake is so near and dear to my heart -- i went from being wary of akechi to shouting my unapologetic goroboy lifestyle from the rooftops. and we all know, from p5r, that joker is the ultimate goroboy. god i'm so happy for them. i really hope he's in scramble, or at least, mentioned there somewhere. i was pretty heartbroken when i realized that the power ranger guy in the trailer wasn't him. like man i cried in bed for thirty minutes. but maybe that's also because i've been sick and am just frustrated dsjfklsjd

but yeah these two mean a lot to me... while pegokita's my otp in the fluff and soft angst department, shuake is like... oh my god, there's so much pain and suffering involved for everyone and i love it. the drama. it's delicious. the P A I N . the YEARNING. akechi ACTUALLY hates akira's guts but i feel like akira has nothing but love for him. and i mean, deep down akechi wants that, too. he wants to love & be loved. he's jealous that akira has the capacity and the free will and the lack of responsibility that makes him able to love freely. except that actually, akira's a lot like him, and it comes down mostly to the mindsets they have. no matter what happens, akira doesn't let others control how he feels, and while akechi would like to delude himself into thinking that his good-boy attitude is entirely a farce, the truth is that a lot of his behavior comes from his desire to be needed. akira wants nothing more than to help him realize that he doesn't have to please everyone to live a fulfilling life. but akechi's too stubborn and prideful to take him up on the offer...

i'm tired i can't think of anything else to say but this rant feels incomplete. i feel like there's more to it than what i just wrote down. idk. i'm tired man. if you read this far and watched the thing then thanks. you the real mvp

Yo everyone, it's Red! this is a little late thanks to some technical difficulties and inconvenient timing, but it's finally done -- the MEP for FOB's new single "Bob Dylan"!! An awesome vid for an awesome song; I am so stunned by everyone's parts, they're all amazing ;v; I'm a little worried that I wasn't able to make them flow properly, but I tried my best... so I hope I did all of these wonderful editors justice!

Red the Mudkip 2020-01-17 | OKAY SO THIS WAS FOR THE SMEPs GIFT EXCHANGE AND TO MY ABSOLUTE *DELIGHT*, I GOT DINA AS MY RECIPIENT

and Dina if you're reading this I want you to know... omg. I have looked up to you for years. Your edits are such a joy to watch, and you yourself are a super duper sweet person ;w; We don't talk very much but I really REALLY admire everything you do!!!! It's such an honor to have been able to make this! PokeShipping and Marianas Trench are both incredible so... good taste ;3

I'm sorry it's so short, by the way, I didn't realize that everyone else's would be 25+ seconds & so I wasn't sure what to do... ;v; I feel really bad about that but pleasepleaseplease know that I appreciate you SO MUCH, you are spectacular, and I hope you have a great day!!!

I'VE. TRIED. RENDERING. THIS. THREE. TIMES. AND IT STILL ISN'T RENDERING RIGHT SONY VEGAS WYDDDDDDDD

So this is an idea I've had for a couple of years now. Begin Again is just such a fitting song for Wadda & the game in general, and finally I think I'm skilled enough to make the vid look the way I've imagined it in my head. I kind of gave up towards the end bc I'm tired but I hope it looks alright!!

ALSO if anyone knows how to fix the thing where the SapphireFX Swish3D transition is off-center... please lemme know. I've tried basically every tutorial on the internet and it's still rendering towards the corner. This is the second video of mine that's been ruined by the error ;v;

MEP Collection #4

Red the Mudkip 2019-12-17 | [ if you see your art in this video, please contact me so i can credit you ]
IT'S. FINALLY. DONE.
I had so many things to say in this description but I've forgotten all of them so welp. Uh... Most of these were done in the past, like, 3 months :'D I'm glad to be back in the swing of editing, but knowing myself I'll probably go on unannounced hiatus for like another 7 months because I'm so burned out lololol we'll see. I can see the crazy amount of improvement in my own videos and for the first time in a while... I'd like to say that I'm proud of myself? I'm right about at the skill level where I wanted to be for so long. Like, when I started editing candy/FX, I *dreamed* of making the kinds of vids I can make now. That's... really incredible. Good job, me.
2019 was also the year I *properly* got into Persona. I'd always kinda hung around the fringes of the fandom knowing like 15% of what was going on, but this year I buckled down and played P3, which was... really amazing. I love everything about that game so much. It means a lot to me. And-- I also started shipping Pegokita! And now it's one of my all-time OTPs so hahahahahahaha funny how that worked out--
ALSO PCS got revived and that was the best thing to happen in 2019!! Even though it's just four of us right now, I've been having such a blast, messing around with Rowan, Mitzi, and Lena ♡♡♡♡ love y'all! I can't wait to go into next year expanding the studio again |D
it's been a hard year but at least I was able to draw some good from it, so that's awesome

Spooky Scary Skeletons ✦ Halloween Collab w/ Rowan!

Red the Mudkip 2019-10-31 | Happy Halloween, everyone!! About a month back Rowan approached me with the idea of a collab video for the occasion, and they're absolutely awesome so of course I said yes~ This song's an absolute B A N G E R and I knew we had to go with this one xD

The theme was all pastel and cutesy, which was a relief for me because I really hate editing the typical orange/purple/black Halloween colors wwww they just clash so horribly in my opinion

Please enjoy and be sure to eat lots of candy today! Also, go check out Rowan's channel; they're a very dear friend of mine and make AMAZING edits!! - youtube.com/channel/UCQxUzTZAy51jsHmpF1uEoUw

Sweater Weather ✦ Hinanami AMV.

Red the Mudkip 2019-10-28 | when you accidentally become complicit in acts of terrorism because you wanted to impress a girl

okay so guys... i really wanted to edit this entire song. but i just. ran out of footage. i swear, as canon as hinanami is, they've only got THREE EPISODES together in the finale anime before hajime pulls the dumbest move of the whole series and becomes izuru. and then the rest of their moments are in the second game, Which Didn't Get An Anime Adaption. also. i would like to say. that almost ALL of the hinanami moments happen at that exact same fountain at sunset. so if you haven't watched the anime it probably looks like i took most of this footage from a single scene, right? nope, it's several scenes scattered across multiple episodes. honestly, editing raw hinanami is SO HARD. next time remind me to use fanart instead.

anyways. uh... this was originally just gonna be a hajime amv, but a quarter of the way through i was like "lol all of the fitting scenes are with chiaki" so it turned into a hinanami amv. and god, i could go on for ages about hajime -- my best friends know i've got a really, REALLY complicated relationship with him as a character -- but i'll save that for another day when i can actually form words.

for now i don't have anything else to say. it's late and i have class tomorrow. hope you enjoyed the vid. lol good night.

but uh -- this is a vid I've been wanting to do for literally years, and then mitzi and lena are like "hey do this editing challenge" and i'm like "you know what sure i'll use this song/ship combo". it turned out. okay. ish. honestly the typography is miraculous for 10 minutes of work, copy-paste was my best friend

Red the Mudkip 2019-09-20 | " 'cause the light inside my heart will never fade "

--

i've been working on this for a while now. as of today it's been six months since hope passed away. i don't really know what to say. the other day rowan told me that hope had left me a note before she died, and it... really stuck with me. so i wrote a response and decided to start work on this vid. i know she technically can't read my reply or watch this, but here goes.

September 4, 2019

Dear Hope,

First I want to thank you for taking the time to write me a note. Rowan showed it to me today. You were in so much pain that night, and yet you still took the time to console your friends. That's so thoughtful. I'm astonished and touched by your compassion -- and no one can ever replace how special you are.

It's almost been half a year since you left. I want to say I've been doing okay. I started my freshman year of college and I think you would've been in your senior year of high school. (I wish you'd stuck around long enough for us to talk about it, but you decided to leave, and I don't like that but I know I can't undo your decision.) Yeah, I've been doing okay, but when I think too hard about you I start crying again. I know you wouldn't want that, but I miss you so much.

I felt -- and still kind of feel -- ...like I failed you. Like maybe if I'd kept in touch, or talked more frequently beforehand, or commented on your vids more, it would've made just enough of a difference for you to decide not to fall off the edge. Like maybe if we were better friends, you'd have one more person in your support network, and maybe I could have saved you, but I didn't, because I didn't put enough effort into being your friend. That's what's been on my mind since I got news of your passing.

Then Rowan gave me your note, and…

Knowing I brought you joy? Knowing you had fond memories of me? My stupid rarepairs and crackships and glorified-powerpoint-slideshow videos made you smile? It's the highest honor I could ever possibly have. I'm so glad our friendship wasn't meaningless to you. I'm glad I impacted you enough to bring you a little bit of happiness. You were in so much pain. I'd have done anything to ease that pain a little bit. I guess I did.

I still wish I'd done better. If I'd known -- I SHOULD have known -- I would've stayed up all night trying to talk you out of it. But I wasn't a good enough friend and that'll always be a huge regret of mine. That said… at least I did *something* to make you happy.

Your final wishes for me were to keep being myself and to "keep shipping your amazing crackships and rarepairs okay?" So I'll honor that. I always found happiness in my weird niche ships, but now I'll do it with purpose, because you asked me to. I really hope I continue to make you happy in the future, 'cause I know even if you can't literally watch me, you can feel my emotions and my prayers for you.

Always yours,
Red

[NO SPOILERS] Young Volcanoes ✦ Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Red the Mudkip 2019-08-19 | Something I threw together in around 3 hours, not counting the breaks I took. I've been a huge FE fan for quite some time, and this game... it's unlike any of the others. It's like the tone of Genealogy, the lovable cast of Awakening, the charm of all the GBA games, the GENIUS gameplay of Echoes (previously my favorite title of the series), and a MUCH better version of the MyCastle function from Fates all came together to create the sixth Persona game and I love it.

For this AMV I wanted to really focus on and appreciate the students. One of the greatest joys of my life has been teaching the kids of FE3H, nurturing them and helping them flourish. After the timeskip, it gets super dark and there's a lot of suffering -- so I just had to make a video kinda celebrating... the good times, the lighthearted, warm-and-fuzzy side of this game that is just as amazing as the heavy angst. My... theme? for this AMV was "the type of slideshow you'd see at a graduation ceremony, but like, as an AMV". so... yeah. Class of 1185, good work. I'm proud of you.

My freshman year of college starts tomorrow. Let's hope my professors are as cool as Byleth.

Red the Mudkip 2019-06-30 | the video in question: youtube.com/watch?v=4Uk10LvsdQ0

hey what's up guys i want to DIE this took a month longer than it should have! the last few weeks of high school were awful and i wanna die and uhhh this WAS coming along really smoothly but vegas decided to be stupid and heckin. delete the ENTIRE .veg file and i had to start over with what little i could salvage. it's why i didn't get to do more with those blue and yellow star burst thingies -- i was so proud of myself for figuring out how to change the color and then i LOST THE GODDAMN FILE and i didn't know how to make them again ;-;

more importantly though the edit this was inspired by? top-notch. i tried to live up to it and miserably failed but that's okay it was all a ploy to give qrowlink more recognition because i discovered his channel last month and it's nothing but top-notch edits

i finally have my high school diploma have a nice day everyone

Ive cracked the code.

Red the Mudkip 2019-04-24 | Crosspost from my Instagram. Special thanks to Jo and Benzy since I couldn't have figured this out without them

✦ I Slept With Someone In The Phantom Thieves And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me ✦

Red the Mudkip 2019-04-16 | (it's not april 16 yet where i am, but it is where jo is, so)

this is a gift for jo. berry. youtube user strawberry roses.

it's been three years, huh? it feels more like eighteen. i've already said it all to you, but once more... thanks. for everything. i know you love joker; i know you made me love him and dragged me into persona hell despite the fact that i only just started playing one of the games two days ago. joker may only be a small part of the many things we've done together, but he makes you happy, and i wanted to make you happy.

...and jo, i know this is a day about us two, but if it's okay, i'd also like to dedicate this video to hope, in a sense. as soon as i heard about her passing i knew i had to start editing something. this was the thing i started working on, three weeks ago. so thank you, hope. i don't know if you would've thought this was pretty. i would like to think so. i hope you're resting in peace.

how to save a life ✦ for hope

Red the Mudkip 2019-03-30 | what can i say that hasn't already been said? i'm really tired of talking about it, and now i just kind of want to sit and be quiet

my condolences to those closest to her. rowan, mitzi. my condolences to lena, who had just gotten to know her better before she left.

i wish i could say hi to her one more time. we liked a lot of the same things. talking to her made me so happy. we both liked naezono, i remember that.

rest in peace, hope.

Ik I've done this song before in Sere's birthday MEP last year (happy birthday again, btw, Sere!!! I'm sorry I couldn't make you a present, school is hell ;v; ) but I really like this song so I wanted to edit with it again, this time entirely using Burningleaf //shrug

But yeah I... hope to make a 3-minute version. Probably gonna run out of fanart before that even happens, though. Wish me luck.

Red the Mudkip 2018-06-15 | I made an unfunny meme because I'm hyped for Team Sonic Racing

You keep buying stars. ✦ Hajime Hinata + Natsumi Kuzuryuu

Red the Mudkip 2018-05-29 | I... I don't even know what this is. Okay, I kind of know what it is. I really badly needed Hinatsumi content, okay? They make me cry. A lot.

Buy the Stars is a great song, and I feel like it fits the Reserve Course students... they try to buy their way into "talent", under the false impression that "talent" is something possessed by only a select few. But no matter how much money they throw at Hope's Peak in the hopes that they can be something, the fact of the matter is that they are inherently worth something - and that'll never change.

Too bad that just as Hajime was beginning to realize this, Juzo came and crushed his dreams. I love Juzo but he's really, really, really dumb. Almost as dumb as Hajime himself.
