UPDATE: I have finally seen the movie and it was stunning! Quite disturbing, but definitely a great movie...and the Oscar was just deserved for Natalie in this movie, Nina's a very difficult role and she played it prefectly. Now I can't wait for the DVD to come out to perhaps edit something with the actual film!
I love this song (and band!) so much, but hate this video with a passion -.- it seems it reflects my actual school situation: really messy! Plus YT screwed timing up! :(
I'm uploading it anyway, just for you to know that I'm alive and kicking -- I'm very sorry that I haven't replied to comments/messages in these past few weeks, I had some serious real-life issues (besides school which is always annoying :P). Luckily now most of them are going better, and I hope I can make it up soon!
Okay, about the video...I'm really excited about Black Swan! It looks REALLY scary (the theme of the double has always creeped me out more than anything), but in an attractive way :) and Natalie's performance looks wonderful even just from trailers and tv spots!
Basically, if you don't know, the film is about Nina, a classic ballerina who has the main role in the production of the Swan Lake. She has to portray both Odette, the White Swan, symbol of innocence, and Odile, the Black Swan, evil and sensual. She wants to be perfect, and so to fit the part of the black swan she starts to uncover her darker side, under the pressure of her choreographer and of a rival ballerina, Lily. Yep, Lily's role in all the plot is still a question for me...is she real, or just Nina's personified "dark side"? In the music video for the movie that was released some time ago, scenes were pretty fast, but I'm sure I saw one scene where Lily is looking at the mirror, dressed as the black swan, but when she turns away to the camera it's actually Nina's face there...guess I'll have to wait for the movie to know! =P
Hope you won't hate me so much for this rushed vid!

❝I dont want to hide any part of me from you.❞
[HD + earphones]
Posted this a few, tiny minutes before it turns into the 12th, because apparently I like living dangerously...but actually POSTED it. Considering I was forced to turn my last birthday video attempt into a Christmas present because of my nasty habit to get stuck on nearly-finished projects, Ill count this as improvement.
To anyone not knowing, today (I should probably say yesterday by the time Im writing this description) was the birthday of one of the loveliest, most empathetic and insightful (and lets not forget frigging *talented*!) people youll ever meet, if youre fortunate enough: Kim aka @ofdurinsfolk. I simply cannot remember how I ever went by without the certainty and wonderful ease of our conversations, and this video is probably only enough to cover a tiny fraction of the appreciation I feel. I hope you had the best of days...peculiar presents aside :D ♥
However, what was forged in the fires of surviving the JJerrio debacle can only be celebrated by saving what we love out of it, and in that fashion I am here to (hopefully) provide with more of our favourite, star-crossed space enemies-to-lovers who, after everything that happened, deserved their happy fairytale ending and to heal together...and at least in our (infinitely better) headcanons, they can. (Whats that? Theres footage post-kiss? Never heard of it). I seriously think that, in spite of the huge waste of potential the ST suffered from in some areas, Reylo may still have ruined the etl trope forever for me as far as live action goes. No one simply comes close to the actually perfectly balanced dynamic, the need for connection built on deep personal trauma, the raw honesty and utter lack of manipulation through it all. No one will ever let me go as hard with the umasking-each-other-in-every-possible-sense-of-the-word and the i-am-talking-with-or-about-you-but-actually-i-am-also-talking-about-myself metas...*sigh* I just miss them, and looking forward to more of their story, so much sometimes.
This song is more obviously readable from Bens POV (aka the guy physically *underneath* the big, bad black mask), but I think it fits Rey too, since she also demonstrates a tendency to hide under her own happy-go-lucky mask and to run away/stall rather than facing painful truths about herself (which is actually one of her character traits Ive always found most relatable. Self-sabotaging is a pain, and a very real one).
Please let me know your thoughts via comment, if you feel like it it is always much, much appreciated ♥

Sounds like youve made your bed.
No. 𝘞𝘦 made this bed, and Im not going to lie in it alone.
[HD + earphones; and personal rant following]
So, normal people vid sad stuff when theyre upset about something...and then theres me, who vids sad stuff as a normal occurrence and then when Im upset I pick the project with the most upbeat song to finish because I just dont want to think about more sad things and how much I am going to miss (and miss already...) one person that was very dear to me. At least via vidding something good can actually come out of this real downer of a September...and my grandpapa was the biggest superhero comic fan, so Id like to think at least he would like the subject matter here. I am going to miss you so much...
(as for the video: yeah I am Telltale trash, the GOT game has ruined me for life and I am not going to stop any time soon. Ive never been much into superhero stories, but of all of them Batman always struck me as one of the most interesting [I love how he has a lot of grey areas and that he doesnt need actual superpowers to be awesome], and as the universe with the most interestingly complex characters especially villains so naturally I was curious about the new game...and it is indeed pretty cool. And to me the crazy chemistry and constant teasing/innuendo between these two is one of the best things about it as of now, so ofc vid happened. Stop giving me ships to ship, Telltale!)

![Star Wars | Journeying Hearts {seven emotions challenge; thc}
[HD + earphones]
Made for the March round of the Hogwarts Contest Seven Emotions. I honestly thought I wasnt going to make it because I wasnt ispired *at all* for this round, but then suddenly this idea hit me very late in the month, and I found myself running against time to meet the deadline ^^ not my best idea probably, but Im fairly happy with the result. And the fact that my new computer is a total lifesaver and renders unbelievably fast (for my standards, at least) helped, too :D
(Also, sorry to all my non-SW subcribers, it seems I am on a spree with my first fandom again ^^ but I have different projects in motion, too!)
For this round we had to make a video showcasing seven different emotions. I didnt want to make another multifandom, and then while thinking about the number seven it hit me that there are seven Star Wars movies now...so I thought about going about it slightly differently and assign one emotion to each movie and try telling the story as a whole through them ^-^ it wasnt easy to find a single emotion that would suit each film (especially since SW is a true rollercoaster of feels to me), and you may disagree with some of my choices, but Ill leave you my reasons for them here - and if you enjoy the video at all, let me know your thoughts ♥
TPM → Loneliness: because its an emotion all the main three go through in the film. Padmé is alone fighting for her peoples survival in a Senate that wont help her; Anakin feels lonely without his mother; and Obi-Wan is left alone by Qui-Gons death (I also imagine, as Qui-Gon was quite an indipendent spirit and often clashed with the rest of the Council, that Obi as his student wasnt very often around other Padawans his age);
AOTC → Attachment: because its Anakins main problem throughout the films, and at the very heart of this particular one. Attachment is a love that is too strong, and walks hand in hand with the inability to let go of those we love; and in Anakins reaction to his mothers death one can already foresee what it is that will doom him in the end.
ROTS → Despair: guess not many explanations are needed for this one. The light side hits rock bottom in this film...
ANH → Hope: another obvious choice starting from the title of the film. I think ANH is the most hopeful out of all films; also, hope is the direct opposite of despair, and while episode III is the end of a descending arc, episode IV is the start of an ascending one.
TESB → Shock: because the first scene that always comes to mind with episode V is the infamous Vader/Luke shocking revelation, but Han, Leia and Chewie go through it too when they are betrayed on Bespin and Han is frozen into carbonite.
ROTJ → Compassion: because its the turning point of the film. Luke refuses the dark side because he feels his fathers suffering and he realizes the same fate will be his own if he does not; and Vaders soul is saved because he is pierced by Lukes pain and wants to put an end to it. Through compassion (or unconditional love, in Anakins words) they save each other and this is why ROTJ will probably always make me cry like a baby ç_ç
TFA → Wonderment: the wonder in Reys eyes is one of the things that stayed with me after seeing the film, and I think one of the goals of this new SW was definitely to bring back that sense of wonder of the previous films and involve a new generation with it, so thats why I chose this emotion (even though I was sorry not to include more characters from the movie).
~Challenge info~
► My emotions: loneliness, attachment, despair, hope, shock, compassion, wonderment

Like a ghost in the silence, I disappear...
[HD + earphones]
So...Final Fantasy XV came out this week past, the hype was stellar, but problem problem a girl doesnt own a PS4 or Xbox so she will have to wait until who-knows-when to play it on PC. So what does a girl do in the meantime? But replay her old favourite from the series, of course. The feels will be a lot easier to handle the second time, for sure, she thinks.
...
A girl has never been more wrong in her whole life T.T
Even after all these years, this game still very much pulls at my heartstrings and while replaying it in-between Telltale Batman episodes and drowning in major feels all over again, I happened to be obsessed with a song that fitted the OTP of the game to a T hence youll have to bear with a video from me on the subject. Im pretty sure no one will know I have actually vidded this game before (when my editing was still rather subpar), but I hope some of you will like this nonetheless, and that I did more justice to this story and more particularly this couple this time, because they deserve it and will probably always be videogame OTP #1 to me. And even if you dont care about the story I still think this game, despite being 15 years old now (gee, I feel ancient now D:), has some of the most visually gorgeous cutscenes Ive ever seen in a game, so I hope youll at least be able to appreciate the beauty of those!
Any comments are, as always, very much appreciated!

![The Weeping Monk ⚔ World On Fire [Cursed]
❝Brace yourself, for all will pay.❞
[HD + smallscreen]
SPOILERS for the character identity reveal in 1x10, youve been warned.
Me liking the villain (antihero –or even hero, given who he actually is and what a bomb that name-dropping was– to be?) with a somewhat conflicted conscience who ultimately does the right thing after a whole lot of badassery on the wrong side? Shocking. Never saw that coming. (insert abundance of sarcasm)
Cursed is a bit of a hit and miss (truly stunning visuals and some intriguing characters, but doubtful acting/onscreen presence for other rather crucial roles and a contextualization that is all over the place imho), but it *is* wonderful to edit with. I mean, two edits in the span of a week, when is that ever going to happen again? And this guy right here...favourite character potential is all I can say. He already reminds me a LOT of my beloved Ben, both on visual and some story levels (may feel the need to make a parallel video at some point in the future).
Ive always wanted to use this song in some capacity, and Ive just had it echoing in the back of my mind ever since his intro scene. Also, borrowed a quote from my main favourite Arthurian show (can you recognize it?), because that conversation with Gawain instantly made me think about that particular scene, and I thought it described him perfectly.
Dedicated to Elle (@StarkQueen), with whom Ive enthused about this show a little! Very much looking forward to you using more of this pretty, pretty footage 😏

![All thats dones forgiven.「Arthur & Uther; +4x03」
Why did you leave me in silence?
[HD + earphones]
Yesterdays episode of season 4 was actually the first one that didnt make me cry this season! (cute little Aithusa is the best thing ever *w*)
But 4x03...I cant properly express my feelings for that episode, I just knew I needed to vid it. After seasons spent hating Uther and his blind hatred towards magic and his awful decisions and wrongdoings being the very reason of everything problematic that happens in Merlin, I wouldve never thought that his death would sadden me, but it actually happened. He was a man with many flaws, but in the end died a honorable death, saving the only thing hes ever loved and did it all for: his son.
Speaking of which: Bradleys acting keeps surprising me with how much hes grown artistically since season 1, and his tears keep getting me emotional! All his scenes with Anthony were so powerful this season, so I just had to pay homage to them in some way. I think this part of the song is so fitting for how Arthur feels towards Uther in this episode: he cant accept that hes dying, and right now he only knows that he loved him, despite all the pain and suffering he caused to others and even Arthur himself (lying to him about his mothers fate, etc.). In his fathers final moments, all that was done was forgiven by Arthur.
The ending got quite inspired by Estaaaass beautiful vid about the episode:

This past couple of months running up to the discussion of my bachelors degree thesis (which is going to be in two weeks time and I have scarcely realized it yet akdsjfhfdh) have possibly been the most mental in the history of insane uni/work weeks (with the current week taking the cake in levels of schedule insanity x.x); however, I was always determined to draw up at least one project for Elles (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEGsb6LRFX7dAVyWhKJSvLQ) wonderful #OCtober a series of prompts, one per October day, all dedicated to vidding original characters; you can find the complete list on Elles channel and this is my attempt to fulfil that resolution. Some of the wonderfully creative and amazingly talented ladies on this site have come up with heart-stoppingly beautiful responses to the prompts so far; so first things first, I urge everyone to check the #OCtoberedit tag and playlist (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWONAgIJJVIhPkMF7KYcbcHS5TlRaD-uB) and fill your eyes and hearts with their captivating stories and plethora of fascinating characters ♥
As for this video: todays prompt was villain, and how could I resist really?
So meet Ayl: ice-wielder and shapeshifter extraordinaire from my Ibnàri stories whose beginnings can be found in my older protectors of Sìr video (https://youtu.be/5vtpfC2RogQ) and one of the main characters Nàr encounters after leaving her mothers forest.
He is more antihero than villain in my mind; but he and Nàr first meet as enemies, and villain is certainly how he views himself when she first meets him.
Story points referenced in this video:
→ Ayl is a mortal/immortal halfling like Nàr, but with the misfortune of being born of a much less loving union. His father is a cunning, rather merciless mountain spirit with a huge vendetta against the kingdom bordering with his domain. Ayl was not raised by him, unlike Nàr with her forest spirit mother Mazarië, but as he grew up he could always sense a cold, chilling presence in his wake, patiently observing his every move.
→ He can shapeshift into white animals of different kinds; the stag was ever his favourite since he first met his beloved while in that form.
→ While shapeshifting always came as easy as breathing to him, his ice powers are a different story. The one time he lost control over them, it was a terrible accident that cost the one he loved her very life (or that is what he believes happened, at least...). He then pledged himself to his fathers questionable bidding in the hopes of learning how to master them from him, thinking himself an out-of-control monster.
→ As the only two existing halflings they know of, and with Nàrs own fire powers acting up ever since Haleths demise, the two share a wary, unwilling understanding of each other.
Notable cameos: Ysmael (Uli Latukefu), Nàrs first and main companion who has a lot of backstory himself that I hope to eventually get to vid too, along with my main girl.
This video is also quite different from Protectors I tried experimenting with texts and overlays more and I have to say Im rather happy ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶b̶l̶o̶o̶d̶y̶ ̶o̶n̶c̶e̶ about some discoveries I made, so I might keep vidding these lovely people in this fashion. As always, would love anyones opinion on this, and hope to be back posting sooner rather than later once rl madness subsides a little!
