Armand: o_o
The title of this song basically sums up my feelings to the outcome of this video. e_e
Thank you to song inspiration. Her videos never cease to inspire me no matter how long ago they were created. youtube.com/watch?v=9nlDD2yEI8g
:o
I thought this was a fitting song choice because all three of them are wolves in their own way and hunting/hurting each other. Louis is the wolf in denial. Lestat is who everyone thinks is the big bad wolf behind everything. Armand is the wolf in sheeps clothing - but also is the one who thinks he is keeping Louis tame and keeping him in check by manipulating him.
I also was thinking the video can be about louis figuring out who the real wolf is in his life right now.
Ok and well I have too many thoughts. But the season was utter perfection, idk how we got this lucky. Honestly I was on Louis side about Armand being boring (in his relationship with louis. But in retrospect it all makes sense how he was acting) but then he craaaaacked and the gremlin was truly unleashed and it was magnificent and now I don't know who is my favourite, I love them ALL.
Also i chose not to use many clips from lestat and louis meeting in the last episode because I think it doesn't really fit and also I was going to save it for another video, if I ever do one. I'm not quite sure if that will happen though.
p.s whenever i think of this song, I am definitely inspired by these two great edits:

song inspiration from amazing vid:
youtube.com/watch?v=neUpkKPjCb8&t=79s
tv show: dead boy detectives
Definitely inspired hugely by @ivraeas masterpiece of a video youtube.com/watch?v=ofmDb2ak9q4 You should definitely check it out.
and inspired by Dune 2 of course.
I also included Talia because I think she understands and supports Jason, and is frustrated with Bruce too and the way he navigates his moral code. She also encourages Jason to "cross that line", the one that Batman never will, even though killing joker would show Jason that Bruce loved him more than his principles.

i'm basically looking at it as if Edward sees male!bella more as a meal he's been waiting to finish off eating for a long time. You know....butter it up with some nice words, love it yeah sure, but does he see male!bella as an actual person or just a thing to literally consume? hmm.
check out this awesome vid where song inspo came from: youtube.com/watch?v=1bxMeKFk5dc&ab_channel=Hanniet

thanks to this editor for introducing me to this song in their awesome vid, i think it perfectly captures the inherent "wrongness" of their relationship. And I mean that on every level.
idk.
somehow luc always sneaks his way in
Alas....you can't outrun an obsessive stalker vampire who is in "love" with you or whatever their idea of love is. They will probably nearly kill you multiple times before eventually turning you into one of them against your will? That is the general story of this twilight au vid I guess.
I think the atmosphere of @sukerlover147 twilight au videos really inspired something within me to get interested in this fandom. So big thanks to them. If you want to see some great videos, they are a awesome editor. youtube.com/@sukerlover147/videos
some might remember. update, cos I wanted to take a trip down memory lane, but I'm aware its veeeery messy.. Hopefully I will make a better vid on them in the future and unlist this. also weewoo weewoo that's your warning siren to know this goes into *that* timeline of them (so it is canon that relationship). Still annoyed they killed Pietro off first film.

"Do I need to chase you out into the street? Do I need to hold your arms down while you sleep?"
I have not read all the witcher books, but the rose is supposed to symbolise the rose tatoo on Ciri that she has when she's older, which Cahir dreams about. You can see it at the end of the vid, as her rejection of him and his dreams of them together . Sorry Cahir. But I enjoy how they both look at the relationship very differently. Dream and nightmare.

I'll always be grateful for the comments on the first vid. thank you, glad you guys enjoyed it back then. But really I'm just so happy I saved the file, so I can watch it again, cos it was one of my faves I made.
"You shouldn't have been". -[Lucerys Velaryon]
*subs available*
(yeah sorry this video is ehhhh, but i made it, so I thought i might as well upload)
Well i was TRYING not to vid and I thought I'm out of these two, but this video by Missnothings (youtube.com/watch?v=0FgvGBgGi3U&ab_channel=MissNothingS) sent me spiraling back into the whirlwind of their relationship. Please check their video out, its actually amazing. :O And if you want to see a fresh take on them, I would highly suggest watching it! The vibes are immaculate. The story told etc. Ya know. Its actual quality to the capital T (capital q? lol). :O
For this mess, I basically wanted to explore the fact of, what if Luc is the Targaryen that is mad, even though everyone thinks it is Aemond who is more likely the one born to "madness". Luc pretends to be sweet, but really he is a sheep in wolfs clothing. He would kill whoever he has to, and he trusts his dreams will come true, and so chooses to kill Aemond instead (by beheading) before Aemond ends up killing him first. Especially when Aemond doesn't agree to "back" him as heir and support him get betrothed. Luc is also delusional and believes his grandfathers words that the prophecy relates to himself. And so while Aemond is not scared of Lucs dreams "finding him", he doesn't suspect Luc would actually kill him. But he would, and he does. The end. meh.
Well good news is, I found a smaller fandom to go in. So this spam of hotd should fucking cease.
"I have so many regrets"
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Generally its about promises and regrets. And differences between how they both saw their relationship or the worth of it, which I think reflects their personalities. Aegon promised to be together with her and kept trying to escape but could never do so (his promise is written on that paper she keeps). When he became heir, Rhaenyra had to leave in order not to be killed. Years later Aegon goes to her in Dragonstone in order to keep the promise...but unfortunately things are different now. He can't accept her as Queen. People change. etc etc.
thank you for the amazing song inspiration from this masterful video:youtube.com/watch?v=KsjqJZrDpOQ&ab_channel=alittlestitious
"It is so appropriate to color hope yellow, like the sun we seldom saw...We lived in the attic, Christopher, Cory, Carrie, and me".
If you've been with my channel for long time, you probably know these books are my favourite. Yeah yeah, they are trash. But I always loved them when I was younger. I especially loved how they delved into: shame, god, religion, revenge, family dynamics. Even just between Cathy and her mother. I loved how Cathy was never here for that shit, even though Christopher had his mother complex issues (which seem to be inherited in his family -_-).
I wish the video could have been better, but I found the song very challenging to edit to, although i do love the song itself. So maybe in the future with different music.
Song inspo: I first heard this song in this AMAZING work of art: youtube.com/watch?v=tsGj9YVCeP4&ab_channel=brokendestinyX
________________________________________________________________________________________________
*!! Super short summary of the book. Not spoilers. Just main start point. Mum locks/hides the children up in the grandparents attic as a plan to get inheritance money after dad dies (after being previously disowned for marrying each other despite being uncle/niece - or were they? cough cough). Mum starts to see the children less and less...eventually leading to worse things. cathy/chris fall in love with each other in the attic, which basically is what the grandparents feared the most happening.*
I always like to hint towards Aemonds death at the end too, just cos his choices really screwed him up, didn't they.

yeah i cant stop making shit vids. my bad .I just got hit with that feeling that I need to make something now for Aegon. I always had the idea to use Rob for older Aegon back when making my luc vids, but I wasn't Aegons biggest fan yet, so I left it. But now Aegon is starting to become my favourite? huh. Hopefully the vid just speaks for itself. They want to be together, but the fates/destiny/prophecy (whatever you like to call it) basically makes it impossible, and they of course end up going to war like usual (same events played out as the history book). I tried to end it that the fates meet back when Aegon is majorly injured with his burnt body/broken legs (like in canon), which I'm pretty sure took him effectively out of the fighting of the war and kind of ended it for him.
I hope I don't forget anyone. Sorry there is so many. But i felt very inspired by their works so..... :o (Also I tried to use diff manips to my best ability. But I know there are a couple that a few vidders have used. But I made sure not to watch their vids too close to when making mine, and used footage in my own way)

And also song inspo is always this vid. Because this video is pretty much the official music vid in my mind for it. You might see how I am influenced by it? although its like 1000 times better. I mean.. Its masterclass in editing.

1. au version* - that yes bruce did eventually find out about jason missing but gave up looking for him soon after, when he realised Jason might be doing something nefarious. So stopped looking out of guilt etc. (This is what I like to imagine. sorry jason. its not what you deserve. but its what i shall give you).
or
2. Bruce did not know, and jason just has misdirected anger on that topic, but because Bruce is so bad at emotions and struggles to explain himself, he brushes jason off which causes jason's anger. Bruce does seem extremely bad at words and I can see him bottling everything up and not wanting to talk about that time. So I think that makes sense too. Because it would frustrate jason so much. Hmm actually I like this version too. Well now I can't decide even for myself! lol
Also featuring jason's ptsd. His Resentment over being replaced. His frustration at Bruce being emotionally immature and constipated. The batarang incident - ya know when Bruce literally sliced jasons neck open with a batarang (great job as a dad bruce!). You know the drill.

wow could the list be any longer. lol. but you should really check them all out. (also i have no idea how or if linking people's vids/pages tags them in their notifications. but im sorry if it happened to you from this, cos Idk what I'm doing or how to stop it. or how it works. o_o )
and thanks to this amaaaaaaazing video for the song inspo: youtube.com/watch?v=whlsWpWBJXU&ab_channel=Liquorice (I really became obsessed with this song afterwards}
ah in case you cant hear, at 0.31 he is saying "I dreamt her" - in regards to chainsaw.
Also maybe its not evident, but I tried to put some of the disdain ronan initially had for adam .
p.s. Hunter has become a popular choice for Adam since Wednesday came out (just in the trc world in general). It's like the minds collectively went " ah yes, floppy haired, bad home life with his father, stands in a forest occasionally boy. It must be an Adam!". He just has that vibe. So I don't claim to invent that casting or whatever.
Yikes, I forgot how hard I find it to edit the relationship of three people in a vid, but whatever, I made some attempt. Really wanted to explore Jace. I like the differences between the personalities of the brothers, even though I didn't really like tv Jace. But i can see his potential. It's pretty simple here. What if Jace learned about the prophecy (thinking it is him) and agrees with Daemon about going to war because of this fact.. Aemond is still obsessed with revenge and luc in general. Luc is stuck in the middle trying to make peace between his uncle/brother, but as usual is the casualty of everyone's stupidity.

"Let go.. and be gay" - (David the vampire). I'm pretty sure that's what he said in the film. huuuuh. :o
If I had to describe my idea, I guess I am thinking what if Michael went "all the way" (unlike in the film) and became a full vampire (he turns in the film by drinking a bottle of blood). And it turned out he enjoys it, maybe even more than David. :o So its like his old self is "fading away". And in this au I am seeing the vampires as being more sadistic and enjoying torturing their prey, instead of just drinking their blood (they like to play with their food, I guess. lol) . I also tried to touch on michael and david trying to kill each other in the future at the end (like in the film).
Anyway, I think both films are set in the 80's so it just made sense to me. And I always liked the billy actor for David.

Well, the tv show has managed to eclipse the film for me. Which seems crazy because of the special place the film has had in my life for so many years as a favourite. But when I think of IWTV, I'll think of this show and the way its characters were portrayed. Even though its not even finished yet, its the definitive version for me. This IS Lestat, Louis and Claudia (although Kirsten's performance can't ever be forgotten, its too good).
Great twists and turns for people who thought we knew what was supposed to happen. It really added another layer of tragedy to the whole situation. D:
And sorry, I'm not trying to spam anyone. I was working on this before my HOTD video. lol.
Well I had this idea for a little while, but no motivation to get it going. Then I got the "big c" yesterday for the first time, which made me want to vid. I guess because I realised I now had waaaaaaaay more free time. D: Anyway, I kind of see it like Luc had dreams of what was going to happen to him and what his death would inspire. And I saw that Aemond's feelings of hate were closer to love, but he was not able to get over what Luc did to him as a child.
This video is most definitely inspired by the video I first heard this song from:
youtube.com/watch?v=tINMDFdWU-c
I really enjoy their videos, even though I'm not in the harry potter fandom. They make interesting, inspiring creations.
hnn I don't know if you can come back from that lestat. I'm sure he will try though. :O
I am so happy this show is SO GOOD. My expectations really were rock bottom, but wow the actors playing Lestat and Louis are amazing. Jacob has made me absolutely love Louis. He's such a conflicted spitfire now, whereas while the film is in my top 5 of all time, Brad Pitt was just given the whiny Louis of the books. The chemistry is off the charts and Lestat is so perfectly sassy and fed up with Louis (while still adoring him..err until that last episode where it got outta hand).. And I love that the show stands as a totally separate entity from the film, like I can't really compare them because they just feel like their own thing. I couldn't mix and match from either. Tom cruise is the perfect Lestat in the film. And sam is perfect in the tv. Same with claudia. Brad pits Louis....um....he did the job.

episode 6 is already just sad, and I'm only 5 mins in. Poor Louis. ;_;...and omg lestat you have the gall to come knocking around already!

sorry you probably need to turn on subs to hear what they are saying, as I would rather blast the music in my ear drums. D:
I was originally going to make purely john/morpheus vid, as (like many others) I was super bummed the show was not able to have the rights to John constantine. So when I was researching what their connection was in the comics i read that John has these children (Adam, Maria and Saul) conceived by the demon Rosacarnis. They are psychotic, demon (or half demon?) children who basically go about killing John's friends and acquaintances. Eventually they are killed and turned to ash, but Maria is spared.
In this video, Morpheus keeps trying to "unmake" Johns children because they are unnatural. But John, even though he doesn't exactly get along with them, see's them as his, and his problem alone to deal with (and he does come to love them in a way even if they are crazy). So he is helping them try to stop Morpheus. Their mother is unmade. Adam is eventually unmade too and Maria nearly is, but yay John defeats morpheus in the end for now. Uhhh Saul is just there being a creepy child, as creepy children do. Oh and there is inc*st? so warning. lol.
thanks to this wonderful video and editor for this wonderful song!! :

I reaaaaally didn't want to be copier of her work, so I tried (and think I succeeded. maybe just one or two small scenes I hope) at using all different scenes with Bill. Also wow, I am so sick of listening to this song in my video e_e. (not in other peoples videos though).
oh I also want to shout out @paquim because I always remember watching her vid years ago after I read the book and she was one of the only few to have a dedicated vid to them. youtube.com/watch?v=4v7L66WKc2o
i kind of see this like p2. to my kavinsky vid. but I wanted to explore ronan a bit, and more specifically the theory I read that Ronan might not just be a "dreamer"..he might be Niall's dream (Niall being his dad). Maaaaaaaaaaybe even declan too. I don't think its a spoiler, as it's COMPLETE speculation. And apparently that...... *spoiler*....... that ronan has fallen asleep at the end of book 2. (p.s I have read bk1 of the dreamers trilogy).
featuring Bin Bons as Niall lynch
2 seconds of Declan lynch
1 second of Adam parrish
some young ronan
and lots of bald headed ronan (probably wouldn't use this actor again, but he had some nice scenes i could have paired up with adam if it had fit the theme of the song/edit, but it did not) maybe in the future idk
also the "rivers run with blood thing", apparently niall says some weird cryptic shit happened when ronan was born (something about rivers drying up, or blood), but aurora says all the flowers bloomed. which is a weird contradiction....but it is a weird family. so.
bye. hope the vid didnt give people a headache.
p.s.s should i make a psa announcement that ronan doesnt actually do hard drugs, he;s just having a nightmare + experiences being around k.
of course inspired by this amazing masterpiece, that made me fall in love with this song when i first watched her video when posted: youtube.com/watch?v=MqnFYYxywvQ (awesome work) and of course inspired by toxicity of ronan & k
hmmm ok.....
I wanted to include more of the orphanage aspect to it, but the clips didn't fit in the flow of the song, so maybe another time. Just know that I was also kind of touching on bruce helping out jason and other kids on the street, only to dump them back into corrupt systems. I'll probably explore that in another vid one day, some day. yikes.
Well you know two things stay the same - my casting of jason, and bruce saying "sorry" in every video. lol.
oh and if you don't know. I use Jake G, at times in my casting as joker in the robPat batman universe. So that's why there is that shot of him. Well, I used him in my bruce/jim gordon vid as joker if you want to see what I mean. ya.
song inspiration - from lookingforastar (one of my favourite vids) =youtube.com/watch?v=PVByAv4xois&ab_channel=lookingforastar
Notes:
*Mal was the only character I loved in the show or who emotionally resonated with me. I only kept watching the show for him tbh. Which was a surprise, as I thought I would like kaz the best, its more my type. I thought Mal's actor did a fantastic job with what they gave him and I found his scenes really beautiful too (the cinematography ). But I like him totally separate from Alina, and I wanted to know what is Mals "hopes and dreams" without it being "alina! alina? alinaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 24/7, and him thinking about what else is there in life or to him as a person.
* I'm coming completely from a show perspective, as I never read the prequels. Only the later two. So sorry if totally au. Just my feelings on the matter. I don't see the flashbacks as being reality, just Mals dream or wishful thinking of what was or could have been.

Also I always remember this video too: youtube.com/watch?v=cpFprhdblqM
In this video its exploring the relationship of ralph and jack and the idea that the boys never got rescued [or haven't yet] and instead grew up on the Island. Jack and Ralph periodically run into each other, and maybe Jack still makes half arsed attempts to kill Ralph. Ralph representing law/order and still trying to hold on to that, and of course Jack the flip side of the coin. Love/hate relationship/friendship [+mutual, reluctant respect for one another?), that has been twisted by the circumstances they are in. Nothing really fully fleshed out in the video, but oh well.
Anyway I was really inspired by this vid. You should check them out.

"Not once".]
Basically borrowing story elements from the game "Batman:The Enemy Within" where Bruce becomes an inmate at Arkham asylum and becomes close friends with Joker. Joker is known as John Doe at that point, as he has no past memories and hasn't morphed into his whole joker persona yet. You can choose to say "of course" to jokers question about their friendship, but I pick the opposite.
I was exploring the notion of John being obsessed with Bruce and then Jim, and wanting a relationship like they have. Except Bruce really doesn't give a rats ass about him, and also probably monopolises Jim. Basically he's immature and selfish. And Jim, well I see him as not having the time to deal with John to try and be his friend. Which leads to, you know...jealously, resentment, hatred from John's part. Aaaaaand it all leads to the only natural conclusion when you live in Gotham.

And well everything else is just the standard Jason stuff...like, wanting bruce to decide between him and joker, bruce being a flop, jason's youth etc etc.

Basically I just really enjoy fics that explore the slade/jason dynamic . Slade being the only one to accept Jason as Red Hood, instead of trying to "save him" and make him how he used to be when he was Robin. In this video slade helped jason out in crime alley, when he was a kid, said he would look out for him and take care of him (but still left him with bruce), keeps an eye on him when he is trapessing around as robin, is pissed batman let him die with joker, goes to beat batman up about it and is sadface. Now jason (red hood) and slade are a team. yay. ---- Basically a culmination of fanfiction I have read. lol.
what has my editing become. D:

Slade wilson - mads mikkelsen
bruce wayne - christian bale
jason todd (as robin) - edward furlong
jarson todd (as red hood) - jacob elordi

I know a lot of people like matthew daddario as jason todd, but I feel like Jacob Elordi brings an intensity and emotional instability in his scenes that I just haven't been able to find elsewhere yet. Still not my perfect cast. But older jason is always hard.
Thanks to lookingforastar for the song youtube.com/watch?v=Hpa1YW3Z_ks. I could honestly edit to like 10 different versions of this song. I just love it so much.
