I cannot believe I actually got this finished (I mean I can...of COURSE the combo that broke my vidder's block would be some combination of TS and these two)...and in what was basically only two sittings. This is the first video in six months I've managed to get done that really feels like I made it just for the joy of making it (don't get me wrong, making birthday/christmas presents makes me happy, too...It's just this one wasn't about being swept up in 'oh this thing has just come out/ended I better get something made before the hype ends and people don't care). I mean, it does kind of show, it's a bit of a mess structurally, but I think I like it all the same...
Plus, the vast majority of my Poldark videos have been restored (let's hope that cycle doesn't repeat itself again...) so I figured it was time to celebrate that.
Anyway, I miss these precious beans so much. Can Poldark please be the next thing that gets rebooted? I mean, I'm happy to wait a couple more years but please get the cogs moving to adapt the last few books!

It feels like an age since I uploaded anything related to my original characters, which I suppose it has been - especially something that wasn't a collab. So I'm a little bit nervous to upload this one. But I'm doing so mostly because I've been so annoying about working on it - thank you Jess for listening so patiently and enthusiastically. This one is for you (sorry for not including Morvos/Oetravia...I just couldn't make them fit the vibes the way I wanted to.)
characters/cast [in order of appearance]:
How The Trees Whisper
Amaryllis and Finch have been in love pretty much their entire lives. However, when their best friend Hawthorn inherits the crown, he chooses Amaryllis for a wife out of jealousy and spite. Centuries later, Finch returns to court and those long buried feelings resurface with devastating (and long lasting) consequences.
Amaryllis : Bruna Marquezine Finch: Tom Riley Hawthorn: Jamie Campbell-Bower
A Cast of Crows:
When Solemn's forces best her father's in battle, Aetari is given in marriage to the conqueror as part of the negotiations for peace. In marrying (and subsequently losing) Solemn, Aetari is forced to choose between the love she is leaving behind in Scoro, the man she has loved for many years (and been loved by in turn), and the love she comes to find in her new family even as her brother's bitterness and jealousies threaten all she has come to hold dear.
Aetari: Ellise Chappell Solemn: Richard Madden Scoro: Mark Rowley Teen!Scoro: Harry Gilby Teen!Aetari: Emily Carey Riven: Peter Mooney
It's a mess, but I've been trying to edit these pairs to this song for literally years, so it is what it is.

#ocsdeservebetter #originalcharacters #fanvidfeed #viddingisartJopper & Stancy || All Too Well {+Alaina}OfDurinsFolk2022-09-19 | {smallscreen HD, please}
Hello,
Yes, I am very firmly stuck in this particular brainrot. Yes, I am only capable of uploading when I collab with Alaina.
And I am sorry for neither of those things.
This one essentially came about because someone on Twitter claimed that Taylor and Jopper don't mix. I made a list of TS songs that fit Jopper perfectly (there are many), and one for Stancy, because I'm me.
There was a lot of overlap, and Alaina is, of course, a genius who suggested a(nother) collab. If you know me, you know there's no way I'm EVER going to say no to collabing with Alaina. And this whole collab is essentially us confirming we are firm believers in, and supporters of, the Stancy/Jopper agenda...Who's surprised?
It hasn't been very long since I gushed about Alaina, so I'll try to keep this short - Alaina, you're my best friend, my favourite person to collab with (I mean LOOK at this), an absolute genius, and just a powerhouse of talent. You mean the world to me, and I don't know where I'd be without your friendship over the past however many years. I love you so much.

Hello,
So, this one went pretty much as follows:
Me: We have to do a ST couples collab at some point... Alaina: *is a genius and manages to find a song, sort the style, etc in only a few hours*
I'm so unbelievably grateful that Alaina and I are, as per usual (kindred souls, duh), stuck in the same brainrot. And that she so enthusiastically agreed to do this with me, and took on all the heavy lifting of putting it together.
Alaina, you know you mean the world to me (at least I hope you do, if you've don't I've been an appalling friend), so I won't go into it too much right now - and anyone who's been here a while has definitely read me get all mushy over our friendship...more than once - I'm just going to say thank you for everything. I'm never going to feel worthy of your friendship, but I am truly so grateful for everything. For making my life 100% better just by existing, for always being supportive and willing to listen and help in any way you can, and for being the best collab partner a girl could ask for (I can't believe it's been almost a year since the last one). I mean look at this beauty, look at how well it all flows... I couldn't be prouder of it or of us. Thank you for agreeing to do this with me.
Everyone go subscribe to Alaina (aka queen of parallels, aka one of the most talented people I have ever had the privilege to know, aka my best friend): youtube.com/c/DarkestxHearts
(Hopefully you can't actually tell which of the couples we ship/don't ship - and please, PLEASE don't start ship wars in the comments. That's not what this is about).
I have, regrettably, been theirs since S2...And they'd have stolen my heart in S4 even if I hadn't been. Look, I'm here for second chance romances, when characters have been given a chance to grow and develop.
(Sorry this is objectively bad, but my vidder's block has once again returned...and I was battling it the entire time just to get ~something~ with these two finished.)

Hello,
It's been a while, but my vidder's block reared its ugly head yet again. I originally planned on trying to vid something for Pride month, but nothing was working...I should've known these two would've been the ones to break the block. Again.
I've been meaning to vid them to this song since 2018, but I'm a terrible procrastinator...But this gorgeous video by hardbecks finally got me motivated enough to actually attempt this video: youtube.com/watch?v=8IRdeKoQDaw
And, I actually finished this in two sittings, so I'm pretty proud of myself, truth be told. It's not perfect, but I like it, which is so rare for me.
Anyway, enjoy!

Hello!
Okay...So, while I adore the book and wish they hadn't changed so much (especially since they chose to include the worst of The Duke & I), I really enjoyed S2. Show!Kathony and Book!Kathony will always be two very separate entities to me, but I love them both, and so here's my very poor tribute.
I have at least one more video for them I want to get done, and once I find a song, I want to vid Polin too (anyone else like 87% convinced we're getting them in S3 rather than Benophie?), after that I'm going to try to finish one of my (many) Brainia WIPs and a Drawenna one, too...We shall see, I guess.
This is, of course, for Elle and Alaina. How could it not be?
Sorry, it's been a while, I still haven't managed to beat the vidder's block (clearly, this is a mess), but I had to make *something* with these two. They are, without question, my favourite couple to come from both the show and the books it's based on. Their love story was entirely too short, and I wish we'd gotten more of them (in both the books and the show). Sorry this is such a mess, but, hopefully, I'll find inspiration and this won't be the last time I vid them.
This one is for Julia (for being on the The Last Kingdom journey with me since pretty much the beginning, talking to you about these wonderful characters has been the highlight of every season), Vale (for thinking of me while watching) and Elle (for crying and laughing about this show with me in equal measure), of course. Enjoy the pain!
It's here! Thank you to everyone who requested a couple, I had a lot of fun with this one, even the parts I found more difficult!
Happy Valentine's Day to all those who celebrate, whether you're loved up or chronically single like me! I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Hello!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALAINA! I don't know what to say here that I haven't already said a million and one times. And especially how to do it without being repulsively gushy... You're the best, I'm so beyond grateful for your friendship - the fact that I KNOW I can always come to you with anything, real life, fandom etc and know you'll be there supporting me no matter what (even when we both know something is a bad idea!) is a true gift and I will never be able to fully express my gratitude (I may be bitter over the fandom that pushed us together, but I will be forever indebted to it for properly bringing you into my life). Thank you for being my kindred soul, and for being such an all round wonderful human being.
You deserve better than this measly offering (and I'm sorry it's not Trineo), but I hope you like a little bit it all the same. I hope you have a wonderful year filled with only good, lovely, things just like you deserve. Happy Birthday!!
Please everyone go subscribe to the birthday girl, and bombard her with love and kindness!
If you only found this channel last year, you probably don’t know that for a very long time I predominantly considered myself a crossover vidder - particularly crossovers that relate to original characters from stories I am trying to write. Last year something in my brain just wouldn’t click where crossover/OC videos were concerned, and I have no explanation for it…but it did mean that this video has been an insanely long time coming. Jess, I owe you about fifty apologies for how long it’s taken me to get these done (but my external hard drive should also take some of the blame!), and I really am sorry and absolutely deserved your call out tweet!
Anyway, Jess is an angel for wanting to do this with me in the first place, for putting up with my taking so long to get this done, for being patient and forgiving when I changed one of the pairs after rendering the collab, just everything. And it’s a great comfort that my return to OC vidding comes in the form of such a beautiful collab. Thanks again, Jess, your enthusiasm and patience mean the world.
Everyone please go subscribe to her! She’s amazing!

This video really does serve as a reminder that I should really upload unfinished/preview videos periodically every few months. I swear, before November I was doing so well with getting things finished, and then the vidder's block struck.
Sorry that some of these are bare bones, and that the sound quality on Bleeding Love is so...yikes. But, I hope you find something in here worth enjoying. Let me know which, if any, you'd like me to attempt to finish.
Happy New Year! I hope 2022 treats you well!
{0:00} Kiss The Girl || Brainy & Nia I have started and restarted this project more times than I can count. I actually included a version in my last unfinished projects complilation. I am very determined to finish it, I just have no idea if/when I'll actually manage.
{0:38} You Right || Original Characters These character dynamics. I never meant to ship Ryan/Ellie...look at me now. I'm so ashamed, and yet I enjoy vidding them so much. Jess, if you're reading this, I swear I'll try and finish at least one OC project, just for you!
{1:13} Rewrite the Stars || Brainy & Nia This song is SO them, especially after 618 onwards. How could I not at least try? Especially once I remembered this version exists?
{1:25} Stronger || Peter & MJ Oh the projects I have sitting around waiting for a HD copy of NWH. I apologise in advance for the person I will inevitably become.
{1:50} Getaway Car || Original Characters Again, I never meant to fall in love with their relationship. And then I did. And I realised this song is just so perfect for them...SO oops?
{2:05} Message in a Bottle || Drawenna What can I say, this song is the cutest, and they are the cutest, so I absolutely couldn't resist. Especially since the lyrics absolutely SCREAM them. I just need to sit down properly and commit to finishing this one.
{2:42} Ride It || Dreamer & Nightwing I...have no excuses. Just a plea for Nia/Dreamer to pop up on Titans, because WHY NOT?!
{3:11} Tolerate It || Rebecca This song was literally written about their story, so...Yeah.
{3:36} Youngblood || Original Characters I was having so much fun editing this one, and then vidder's block struck and I just refused to open it again, because it was upsetting to not be able to keep going after having so much fun with it before.
{4:07} All Too Well || Brainy & Nia I've seen this one requested a few times, so I figured I should at least give it a shot, right?
{4:35} Bleeding Love || Multicouples If you ignore the sound issues, I was having an absolute blast vidding this one. I actually had to take a break from it to put this compilation together, so I may actually get this one done fairly early in '22. We'll see.
{5:24} Hesitate || Brainy & Nia + Drawenna My top 2 OTPS and a song that fits them both perfectly?! If only it wasn't such a nightmare to edit...When is anything ever simple.
{6:00} Youngblood || Original Characters Same as above. Some one just keep poking me until I actually finish this? And then convince me to get over my weird anxiety any time I even think of uploading an OC project now? Thanks.
{6:37} All the Things She Said || Original Characters I suddenly had the urge to vid the nonsense going on with Lucy, Kian, Ford, Ryan and Cadan...I ignore them way too often when vidding this particular universe.
{6:58} What a Feeling || Brainy & Nia If you've been here a while, you may be aware that this is the song I almost always fall back on when I have vidder's block. Unfortunately, this time, even this song wasn't enough to get me out of the funk. But, I actually quite like how most of this has come out. Maybe it's a good thing I never finished it though - I did upload videos with this song about three times in as many months in 2020/21.
{7:46} Waiting for Superman || Multicouples So, clearly '21 was the year of my falling in love with/back in love with Superhero ships...So this video was sort of inevitable, no?
{8:15} Between the Raindrops || Brainy & Nia I don't know. The song came on shuffle while I was trying to sleep. Like I said, I don't know. I don't hate this...but I don't love it.
{8:31} My Skin || Original Characters Again, just me playing around with the messy, messy dynamic that is Kian, Lucy & Ford's not really a love triangle, love triangle. Enjoy?
{8:47} Kiss Me More || Brainy & Nia I actually started this during the S6 hiatus (clearly... I used a blue colouring on Brainy), because this song was stuck in my head ALL Summer. I might actually turn this into something like Accidentally in Love/Pretty Please.
{9:06} Peter & MJ || Delicate It just fits, no?
{9:31} Fantasy || Original Characters I have no excuses. I just wanted to make something fluffy for them.
{9:49} My Heart Will Go On || Multicouples Blame Alaina, she didn't stop me. And then I started having too much fun. I have no excuses.

Hello,
I know, it's been a while. I swear after Supergirl ended, all my inspiration to edit went with it. It was the worst post show hangover I think I've ever had, and it combined with Vidder's Block in the most cruel way possible. I swear, I've been trying to edit, it just wasn't happening.
I should've known it would be editing a Christmas present for my kindred soul that would finally break through the barrier. Even if editing her top OTP (don't get me wrong, I love them, they're adorable, but I almost consider them a 'ship-in-law' rather than a big ship of my own, if that makes ANY sort of sense) is the most intimidating project I have worked on in a very long time, maybe ever.
@DarkestxHearts . What is there to say that I haven't said a million times. Merry Christmas, thank you for being my best friend and for putting up with me (especially the nonsensical Brainia (and general SG) related meltdowns this year). You're the best kindred soul a girl could ask for, and 100% proof that platonic soulmates are real - and also that the universe was playing some cruel prank when they put us on opposite sides of the world.... I hope you have a wonderful day, and that the New Year is full of only good things. And I'm sorry this isn't better or longer (I'll be honest, I originally started this to Daylight, because that song is SO them...but that song is also a nightmare)...You, and them, deserve better, but I hope you like it all the same.
Before I get started, PLEASE don't dislike this one because you don't like the couples. They're my preferences, but I don't expect everyone else to like them too. If you don't, just click away. No big deal.
Onto the video!
I genuinely thought this one was never going to see the light of day. EVERY time I tried to open the project my laptop froze. But, if you should know anything about me, it's that I'm stubborn. So it's here (minus text, because I didn't want to tempt fate too much). All I wanted to do was edit a fluffy tribute to the reasons this show holds a special place in my heart, but no, my laptop wanted to have a momentTM. Hopefully I still succeeded on the fluffy front (with a healthy dose of angst, because I am me after all).
And, this one's for @queenofarathia. You're such a sweetie. Thank you for all your positivity, and for sharing your ideas and enthusiasm with me.
By the way, I started this long before Nicole tweeted about Brainia having almost danced to it in the prom episode...I'll be honest, if I'd seen that tweet first, this would quite likely have turned into a Brainia edit only. Can you believe we missed out on Brainia dancing to this song?!
colouring; mine (ignore the fact it's slightly different on some of the Brainia scenes...I have to stop him going blue somehow... *long suffering sigh*).
Originally I had planned for my next upload to be one with all of my SG ships as a proper goodbye...Then Red TV dropped, and I couldn't not make this.
It is also wholly inspired by this tweet by Nicole Maines herself: twitter.com/NicoleAMaines/status/1457500872506679297 (and yeah, there'll definitely be a Brainia video to Cardigan coming your way at some point, too).
For now there's this. And, as ever, thank you to @DarkestxHearts for putting up with me while I was editing this. Here's hoping one day you get a song handed to you on a silver platter by one half of your ship like this! You deserve it for listening to me whine!
Also please know that I had to stop vidding this for a while because I got waaay too into my feelings about the show having ended, and not knowing if/when we'll see these two on screen again (Offscreen, I have hope Nicole will give us at least a nod to them in her next comic(s)). So there's that....

#fanvidfeed #supergirl #brainia #viddingisartBrainy & Nia || This Love {+6x20}OfDurinsFolk2021-11-12 | {smallscreen HD, please}
Hello!
We actually made it! They're actually endgame! With 100% certainty that they *will* be married at some point in the future! I'm so happy - and went through the MOST emotional whiplash with 620 I think I've ever endured from a ship on any show ever.
I won't get into the actual ending itself (personally I was satisfied, given, let's be honest, the writers couldn't win whichever romantic endgame they went with for Kara...and who's to say she didn't end up with Lena, Mon-El, or someone else entirely later on down the line? - after all, in Mon-El's case, a Kryptonian/Daxamite lifespan is different to a human's!), but I will say I am a little disappointed in certain sections of the fandom begrudging Dansen and Brainia fans their happy endings, as if they haven't been being built as the only consistently canon ships on the show since 2018 and these happy endings came out of the left field (also, there's a difference between side characters and secondary/tertiary mains...)
Still, Dansen are married, Brainia are going to be somewhere down the line (and Nicole's writing another Dreamer comic!), and J'onn/M'gann are going to be parents, and Kara's at peace with who she is...It's not perfect, but I'm satisfied.
This one goes out (again) to Alaina, for all the weeks of listening to me ramble about these two, for dealing with my breakdowns over them in real time, and for encouraging me when I chose this song (and for dealing with my colouring related meltdowns...). I don't deserve you, but I'm glad I've fooled you into thinking I do!
And, yeah, I feel like I've done this wrong by using a song that isn't from Red...but trust me, this isn't the last Supergirl/Taylor combo you're going to see from me! And how could I not use this one for these two after their journey?!
If you saw the previous version of this...no you didn't.
Hello,
Yeah, so this video is properly cursed. My laptop and I have never been friends, but from near enough the moment I started this one...Wow.
Anyway, massive thank you to @DarkestxHearts for listening to my ramblings and absolute breakdown over everything that happened in this episode. You're a trooper, and I don't deserve you. This one's dedicated to you. Enjoy the pain, I guess?
Onto the episode itself - first of all, give Jesse Rath all of the awards. Every single one of his scenes was incredible. Second of all...STOP HURTING THESE TWO. They've been through so much, both individually and as a couple, and they just deserve to be happy. Okay? Neither one of them deserve this.
(Also, I feel like it would be rude to not address the fact that William Dey deserved better. He'd finally started to grow on me, and I'm sad to see him and all his wasted potential go).
Now that I've had a few days to process, and the stills for 6x20 are out, I am more hopeful than I was when I first watched 6x18...but I'm still nervous. The CW as a whole has never been kind to me where my ships are concerned...But I'm going to be positive. Please join me in manifesting good things!

Hello,
If the bad weather is good for anything, it's keeping me indoors and giving me the time to finish this and the Dansen project from yesterday in absolute record time.
So, the whole Brainy contacting the future/getting heartbreaking news has me nervous (as does his behaviour this whole episode, honestly). I've been burned by ships one too many times, and with Dansen very clearly giving us the HEA, all of the leftover angst has to go to another ship...And that has me concerned.
However, can we please talk about these two in this episode? (And also to take a moment to appreciate Jesse's acting in the lab scene, because it was absolutely incredible). I adore the way they barely have to look at each other to know when something's up, and that Nia knew in the lab scene that she needed to give Brainy space rather than to push. And the reminder of their promise to have 'no more secrets', and Nia's absolute confidence that that will make all the difference for them this time round. I love them.
colouring; mine (sorry, it's ugly. But all my nicer ones turn Brainy blue, and I didn't want to add black and white to every green!Brainy scene).
THEY'RE ENGAGED! ALEX IS FINALLY A MOTHER AND SHE'S MARRYING THE LOVE OF HER LIFE!
I stopped watching this show for years, but I always wanted to see this happy ending for Alex. She's been through so much, and she's been inspiring the whole way. I'm so thrilled that she's finally getting all the things she's always wanted with Kelly and Esme. And the proposal(s)?! Perfection! And can we please talk about Alex and Kelly realising they were in love at the same time? The fact that they came up with the same plan for their proposals?! I cannot deal with how precious they are. I really can't.
This video's a total mess (don't talk to me about the beginning or the end, the middle is fine, I guess, but the rest? Gross), but I really needed to vid out my feelings over these two.

Hello,
I know the Kara side of this episode has proven...controversial...so I'm just going to focus on the Nia/Brainia elements, because WOW! Nia finally, FINALLY standing up for herself to Maeve was everything I could ever have hoped for, seeing her proudly claim her position as the Dreamer and accept that was always supposed to be her was incredible, and I'm so proud of how far she's come (and can we talk about the fact that the episode basically confirmed Nia is unbeatable?! Nyxly couldn't beat her even with dream powers, so...)
And the Brainia scenes! The domesticity was everything I could ever have asked for (I really hope we get more in the final few episodes because it was so cute!), Nia bragging about Brainy to Maeve, Brainy worrying about Nia throughout the day, and the hug?! Finally we have a Brainia hug that doesn't lead into the break up scene!
Anyway, this is very basic, and it wasn't the song I was originally going to use, but I couldn't get the idea of editing them to it out of my head...so here we are.
Um...I have no excuse, except I was feeling a bit bitter over the fact we've barely had one episode with any truly viddable content in 6B (here's hoping 6x16 onwards really brings it with the Brainia content, let's manifest it people!), so I was making this to cheer myself up...I wasn't actually going to finish it, then I showed it to Alaina...the rest is history.
(These two are such adorable goofballs. I'm going to miss them and their dorky ways so much!)
Alaina, this one's for you. Hopefully the fluff is enough to dull some of the pain of that monster of a video you're working on.

Hello,
If Sony Vegas tried to destroy this project once, it tried to destroy it a hundred times...I wish I was kidding, so if you're wondering why there's no text, and the overlays are a mess. I gave up. My laptop hates me anyway, I wasn't going to have it freeze and refuse to turn on/off AGAIN.
Anyway! I loved this latest, episode. It was so much fun (do I wish there had been a ~little~ bit more Brainia or Dansen content? Duh! But I loved what we did get - especially the scene with Vita possessing Brainy. Especially Nicole and Katie very clearly almost breaking character when Jesse was improvising), I just had no idea what to do in terms of making a video - because, yeah, we're in the single digits in terms of remaining episodes, so I'm going to at least TRY to make a weekly video for ships regardless of the amount of crumbs. Point being, if this one feels like it's a bit of a mess in terms of tone, that (and the fact that I started this one during the hiatus) is why.
This one is here earlier entirely because of Alaina's enthusiasm. And, because I selfishly want to get her on board with all of my favourite ships from this show...(if Lover of Mine last week and this one aren't enough, well then).
I really wish I was good enough at character studies to have made a video just dedicated to Kelly. I really do, because she was incredible in every way in this episode, and Azie did a fantastic job with the writing (and not just for Kelly, but for every single one of the dynamics Kelly has. It was extraordinarily well done, and she deserves so much credit for that) the entire episode. I honestly can't praise it highly enough.
For this video, I wanted to show how much these two have always tried to support each other - particularly how much Kelly has tried to be there for Alex when things have been hard (and how much more poignant that made their arc in this episode). It's not my best work ever, and I'm sorry for that, because they deserve better than this, but I'm not entirely unhappy with it, and that's enough for me.
What an episode! (and next week is Kelly's debut as Guardian! I'm so excited for 612, you have no idea!). After so many weeks with hardly any Brainia content, I was actually a little overwhelmed with how many great moments we got this week. There is so much I could say here about their scenes - honestly, the open communication, Brainy supporting Nia's decisions even if he doesn't agree, protective!Brainy, Nia borrowing Brainy's image inducer? Truly Brainia at their absolutely best. However, if I *start* talking about them, I won't stop. So just know I'm still not over it.
This videos is 100% dedicated to Alaina, who has been incredibly encouraging about it since I first showed her a preview over a month ago. Thank you for putting up with my rants about them, even though you don't watch the show!

Hello,
Did you know it's been six months since I last uploaded a video with these two? Criminal, I know. I'm ashamed. Anyway, I started this one months ago, but I fell out of love with it, stumbled upon it again and got a little bit futher, fell out of love with it again...and a couple of days ago decided I'd finish it this week since I'd promised a Drake/Morwenna video...
I still kinda hate it, but I figured I should probably finish it given Alaina's threat to never forgive me if I didn't...
Two years on, and I still miss these two so much.

#fanvidfeed #viddingisartBrainy & Nia || Back To You {+6x08}OfDurinsFolk2021-08-27 | {smallscreen HD, please}
Hello,
I know, I know, it's been months and I come back offering this? I suck!
In my own defence, 608 gave us crumbs at best (I'm not complaining, we got 606, and Kara's finally back, so I enjoyed the episode all the same), so this was the best I could do. Originally, this was meant to be the video I finished for 601, but at the time I couldn't finish it. Then I started playing around with it during the hiatus, and it began to flow better, so I figured I might as well finish it for this episode (especially since I wanted to finish something after 3 months of nothing) - and since there's likely to be less than crumbs for me to try to create a video out of since Brainy isn't in 609...But it's going to be a huge episode for Nia and Kelly, so I am really hyped for it!
Starting from this episode, I'm going to try to make Fridays the day I upload any weekly videos - provided inspiration is kind (ha!), and that I can find the episode in a timely manner.
Anyway, my dog's at the vet getting spayed, so I'm going to continue trying to distract myself from thinking about it - you'd have thought I'd be used to it after having had 7 dogs over my life, but I still worry.

#fanvidfeed #supergirl #brainiaMulticouples II You & I {+@DarkestxHearts }OfDurinsFolk2021-08-25 | {smallscreen HD, please}
Hello,
Where to begin...Ah! It's been a while, and I'm very sorry for that. I have just had absolutely no inspiration. I get vidder's block quite often, but usually I can power through. Not this time. However, for once I am beyond grateful for that dreaded blight, because it led to this beauty.
Somehow, it had been over a year since the last time Alaina and I had done (or rather finished) a collab together - if you're new here @DarkestxHearts is my kindred soul, and one of my all time favourite human beings, please go subscribe to her - if you can believe! The thing that finally got our butts in gear? Realising we were both struggling inspiration wise. Ironically enough...this was virtually finished in a day and a half!
All the credit for this one has to go to Alaina, it really does. She chose the song (WE FINALLY VANQUISHED THE BEAST!!), found the colouring, worked out the text, cut the parts, everything - including make that gorgeous thumbnail for me...She's a megastar. I was just along for the ride, and I loved every moment of working on it. I mean it sincerely when I say Alaina makes me a better editor. And I am SO proud of the results. I haven't stopped smiling since I first watched it, and I don't think I'm likely to stop any time soon.
I know, it's been over a month since the last time I uploaded, and two months since I uploaded a video that wasn't a birthday collab. I have just been experiencing the most ridiculous vidder's block, and it decided to intermingle with my anxiety...So I've been having a Time.
Anyway, I figured I should probably prove I have at least been ~trying~ to work on some projects (this isn't everything, just I felt looked just about decent enough to see the light of day), especially since you've all been so kind as to get me to 2K subscribers. I'm still speechless, thank you all so much!
1. Brainy & Nia || Back To You (0:00) This was originally the video I was going to do for 6x01 instead of Ashes, I just couldn't get it to work at the time. Looking at it now, I actually kinda like it. So, maybe if it fits an episode in 6B I'll finish it, who knows.
2. Multicouples || It Must Have Been Love (0:48) This came on shuffle while I was working on some gifsets...Twice. I took it as a sign...And, I actually quite like it...I'm just not sure if I like it enough to bother finishing it.
3. Muticouples || Death by a Thousand Cuts (1:44) Started it on a whim...gave up about an hour into working on it.
4. Brainy & Nia || Lover of Mine (2:08) Again, started it on a bit of a whim, showed it to Alaina (who is the most encouraging person in the world - and I will get her shipping these two just by bombarding her with my videos of them), and now I definitely feel the pressure to finish it just as soon as I get some new content to add...
5. Dan & Blair || Save Your Tears (3:48) One day, I will actually finish a video of these two. I'm just pretty sure it won't be this one.
6. Drawenna || Ghost of You (4:10) PLEASE DON'T MENTION THE NAME OF THE SHOW OR CHARACTERS! Yeah, I'm still working on videos of them, they're my number one ship, after all. I just haven't been finding songs for them that inspire me...
7. Brainy & Nia || Accidentally in Love (4:40) Okay, I really want to finish this one...I just don't think I'll manage to, if I'm being honest with myself.
8. Multicouples || My Heart Will Go On (5:03) All I can say in my own defence is that Alaina didn't stop me (which is why some of her top ships may have sneakily made there way into this project...)
9. Brainy & Nia || Outta My Head (5:43) This song came on shuffle when I was doing laundry...which is when my brain is at its most susceptible from sheer boredom. And...well, here we are. It's not awful, I guess.
10. Multicouples || How You Get the Girl (6:13) This originally started life as a Max/Liz edit (I wanted to make something more light hearted since all of my videos of them are SO angsty), but I couldn't make it work, and started adding other couples instead...
11. Brainy & Nia || Kiss The Girl (6:50) I have no excuse other than I was rewatching early S5, and you can't tell me this isn't THEIR song in 5x01...Then Chyler revealed that Jesse improvised the kiss in 6x06, and what else was I supposed to do with that information?
Anyway, let me know if there's anything in here that you'd like to see finished!
Isn't this just the most adorable thing you ever saw? Huge thank you to everyone who took part, and made this video possible. You all have my smiling like a total idiot for three whole minutes every time I watch this, and given how much I haven't felt like celebrating my birthday this year, that means the world to me. So truly, from the bottom of my currently very overwhelmed heart, thank you!
(And special thanks to Alaina who was willing to be a fill-in for me - even if it wasn't necessary in the end. You're the best).
Please go subscribe to everyone who took part, they're all marvellous and you're missing out if you aren't subbed to them already!
So, this one was a journey. I can't say I'm thrilled by everything that happened in the episode, the balloons, the lack of a proper reunion for everyone. But as far as character development goes, it was very interesting - particularly for Lena, Kelly and Nia - and was a decent midseason finale, so I'm not gonna complain.
However, it did leave me at a total loss with how to vid the episode. Like, it would've been nice (well not nice, awful, but nice for vidding) if Brainy had had a more in depth fear to explore, like Nia's (but no, while she's having visions of him dying because of her difficulties with her powers, this guy's seeing balloons - I have theories, and have almost certainly put more thought into it than the writers, but that's neither here nor there). So, if this video is a bit of a mess, thematically that's why.
Between vidder's block, and not being able to find the episode in HD, I know this one has taken a while to get out. But, I do have to say I'm not going to be inspired for every episode, and even if I am, vidding takes time (in general, I will always aim to have these videos out over the weekend, but if I'm not inspired/lacking clips, there's not much I can do about that). Some videos are going to take longer than others, so please be patient with me. This is supposed to be a hobby, and escape, for me after all, getting stressed that I'm letting people down by not posting content ruins that a little bit, and absolutely does not encourage productivity...

#fanvidfeed #supergirl #brainiaBrainy & Nia || Falling Like the Stars {+6x06}OfDurinsFolk2021-05-08 | {smallscreen HD, please}
Hello,
I thought I had enjoyed 6x05, and then 6x06 happened. My only bugbear with episode 5 had been having these two separated for the majority of the shenanigans, but episode 6 fixed that AND THEN SOME (and what a great directorial debut for Chyler!). Their scenes were funny (Brainy trying to get Nia to sing 9 to 5 with him?!) , romantic (the dance!) and moving (Nia's self doubt, and Brainy's unwavering faith and support - and how excited he was about her lucid dreaming!!) all at once (oh, and Brainy and Kenny looking at Nia and Kara after Brainy's 'it's about who you have (adventures) with' was so sweet).
I won't lie, I was manifesting the 'you're stunning' scene HARD when the promo pics of Nia in that dress were first released, because it's been too long since Brainy told Nia she's beautiful, and after her 5x15 breakdown over him, and how beautiful and accepted he made her feel before their break up, I needed to see it again (plus I'm just a sucker for that trope in general; sue me I'm a hopeless romantic).
And the kiss scene?! Honestly, I had no hopes for any kisses between them this season - after all, all the couples have been on rations for years now, and given the circumstances in terms of filming, I just figured that these two, who are barely allowed one kiss per season in general would be the main victims. So I was beyond pleasantly surprised they got that moment.
What I do find ridiculous is the same people who were vocal about Nia getting more screen time (and rightfully so) are the ones complaining that we just got two hours with Nia front and centre (and absolutely proving that she could carry her own spinoff, just saying (totally not bitter that of all things they decided to do yet another Superman show - no offense to any of the cast of Superman and Lois, but why??)... Look, I agree, it's a shame that in the final season Melissa's maternity leave has forced them to write the first few episodes with Kara/Supergirl in a more limited role (though the way some fans are all but begrudging Melissa for taking that time is...yikes). Given the delay in filming already, and the way lockdowns have been hitting everywhere differently, it makes sense that they wanted to get started on filming, even without their lead. Studios have schedules and slots that need filling. And, yes, the show is *Supergirl*, but it's been nice to see some of the characters get to be more front and centre than usual (though, it's a shame that we can never get more screentime for Kelly AND Nia; why does it have to be one or the other?!). Besides, it's one more episode and then after the break it'll be largely business as usual (and Kelly as Guardian!!), and everyone can screech about supercorp again...
(and speaking of Kelly, I'm going to try to get a Dansen video finished after episode 7, but it might have to wait until the mid season break, we'll see).
Anyway, this video is a bit messy, but I don't hate it too much ,and it's nice to edit something a little less angsty (even if their scenes make that hard), particularly since it seems like episode 7 is going to be a painfest! (One I'm very excited for all the same).

#fanvidfeed #supergirl #brainiaBrainy & Nia || Still Into You {+6x05}OfDurinsFolk2021-04-30 | {smallscreen HD, please}
Hello,
Ugh, before I even get started, sorry about some of the clip quality - I couldn't find a link to the episode anywhere so I screen recorded and as you can see...yikes. So, I'm sorry for your eyeballs, but these two are so cute I hope that makes up for it.
CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT EPISODE?! Like, sure it didn't really progress the overall storyline or anything...but it was so great! Every single actor knocked it out of the park, completely (by the way, Jesse learned how to do those bat tricks in just two weeks??? Because of course Brainy would know how to do bat tricks, why not?). And the Brainia content?! The 9 to 5 scene? It could've been such a disaster, but it so worked...and I am absolutely never getting over the way Brainy looked at Nia towards the end. My poor heart. Have you guys seen the promo pictures for the next episode?! Eeeeek!
Also, Nia's being Kara's mentor was adorable, and I loved seeing that dynamic reversed, and both Nia and Kara getting to just enjoy their powers for once. I don't think we've EVER seen that from Nia, so that was sweet. And Nia listening to her mother's voicemail? My poor heart - the whole arc with her being frustrated with her lack of understanding of her dreams is just so painfully well done. And Brainy trying out all the different coping mechanisms?! (By the way, we deserved to see Brainy in glee club, I'm just throwing that out there).
Anyway, this video is a bit of a mess - there's a reason I don't generally work with fast(er) songs - but I wanted to do something a little bit lighter, to match the episode (okay, fine, I'd actually decided on this song a couple of days in advance of the episode), and it just fit...who am I to say no when I'm actually inspired?! Even with the text - and if you know me, you know how I feel about text (and overlay) work!
(Also, this took ages to render, but it was done after one attempt...so clearly this one was meant to be).

#fanvidfeed #supergirl #brainiaBrainy & Nia || Good to You {+6x04}OfDurinsFolk2021-04-22 | {smallscreen HD, please}
Hello,
I had originally planned on making a video for 6x02, but I just wasn't in the headspace, wonderful though their scenes in that episode were. Then Nia didn't appear at all in 6x03, so that was a bust, and then finally we got a lot of goodies in this last episode (and content that made it clear that they are actually back together rather than just moving in that direction), so I figured I'd push myself to actually get something done. Because they're so cute and this is the final season, and I don't want to say goodbye.
Anyway...skip this line if you don't want to hear me commit what is essentially shipping blasphemy...I think these two might actually be the most supportive couple out of all of my ships. I used to say it was Drake/Morwenna without a shadow of a doubt (probably followed by Dylan/Emma)...but these two. It's not the same as Drake/Morwenna, obviously...but it's so consistent, so natural, and it's truly the best part of their whole dynamic. Much like with Drake/Morwenna, however, I've seen people in the fandom moaning about this aspect of their relationship and how Nia is too needy and Brainy deserves someone who doesn't need constant reassurance...I'm??? How dare a relationship be supportive and include open communication - especially about one's insecurities?
Obviously, Brainy has always been Nia's biggest support and cheerleader when it comes to her understanding her powers and learning to use them (and Nia's unconditional love and support, and commitment to open communication just make me weep), but for me, particularly in this episode, it's more of the casual checking in, how well they can read each other, how they know when to give each other space and when to push that makes them such a great duo. Like Nia said in 5x19, it's more than a relationship - they're partners. And she's right, they really are, in every sense of the word.
All of the actors on this show do such a great job with the relationships, regardless of the content the writers actually give them, so props to them all...Brainia just happen to own my heart.
Anyway, that's my mini rant on the many feelings I have about these two. Now I'm off to eat donuts and be hyped at the fact that (regardless of the absurdity of the reasoning behind it) we're getting a brainia centric time travel episode!!
One final thing - thanks again to my kindred soul, Alaina because her videos always help me find songs when I'm at an utter loss and hitting multiple brick walls.
Well boy did these two sneak up on me. Out of nowhere (or rather I'd just finished another Roswell rewatch, and I was on an alien binge) I got an urge to go back to S2 of Supergirl, which somehow led to me rewatching the whole show.
I wasn't expecting to find a new OTP, or even a new ship (I mean, I enjoy the ships in this show, but since Karamel ended, none really grabbed my attention the way they did - you either feel the buzz over a ship, or you don't)...Then I got to S4, and oh boy. These two. They just breezed in and stole my heart with no warning. They are adorable, and I just love them so much. Both as individuals and as a, delightfully awkward, couple. And it's so wonderful to see not only a trans woman as a superhero, but a trans woman as a superhero who is also allowed to have a love interest!
Speaking of, I'm so annoyed I couldn't find a copy of the S6 premiere so I could get this up yesterday, for Trans Day of Visibility...ugh, but several song changes later, and it's finally here. And I actually kind of like it, so that's something.
Ironically, I've recently been speaking to Alaina about not having had a show that has made me want to edit on a week by week basis since P*ldark finished, I'm hoping that Supergirl can do me a solid in it's final season, and give me the content I need to edit these two precious beans every episode. And hopefully allow myself room to add scenes I didn't manage to find space for in this one... (Speaking of Alaina, this is hugely inspired by this masterpiece of hers: youtube.com/watch?v=nvL7vWYRL20 )
My dog has spent most of this afternoon at the vet, she's okay now, but I've been stressed, and sprint editing this to distract myself. So, if it's very obvious that that's the cast, I'm sorry.
Anyway...

Hello,
It's been almost a month since I last uploaded, and seven months since I last made a video that was purely these two, so you can imagine my surprise with how quickly this ultimately came together.
I actually started this back when Alaina uploaded this beauty (which is so worth a watch) youtube.com/watch?v=iKFFFDm0MV8 but, me being me, I promptly dropped it, forgot about it until I was putting together my unfinished projects of 2020, and once again let it rot after that. Then, I happened upon the rendered preview last night, and figured I'd give finishing it a go while I watched the F1...and so it came together in a matter of hours.
Look, I'm not going to say it's good - we all know I hate almost every one of my Roswell edits - but since I've been toying with quitting vidding altogether because I've been struggling so much, I'll say I'm fairly content with the finished product. Unbelievably basic though she may be.
One day, I will make a video with these two that isn't pure angst (because they also have their fair share of ridiculously adorable moments) and doesn't focus on the pain that was mid/late S2...
Thanks to Alaina for inspiring this one in the first place!

Hello,
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! DO NOT MENTION THE FANDOM OR THE CHARACTERS!
It's been ages since I managed to finish a video of these two. They are so dear to my heart, and I will always love them, but I utterly lost all motivation to put time into editing them when any videos I upload are blocked in my country.
Anyway, I started this at the start of the year, and abandoned it pretty soon after. Then Elle asked me if I was working on anything today, I said no, but I had this project open, just to see what I'd actually finished...and that's when I decided I was going to finish it...and so I did - in about five hours. Which is very apparent, but please pretend it isn't, because I'm just so happy to be vidding them again.
So...ah, vidder's block and anxiety decided to join teams to try to make sure this one never saw the light of day...so please pretend that isn't noticeable in the editing, thank you!
Anyway,
Happy Valentine's Day. Whether you're hopelessly single like yours truly, happily in a relationship or anywhere in between, I hope you have an absolutely wonderful day. Treat yourself! Buy yourself flowers, chocolates, etc, we all deserve nice things after the past year we've all had!
I hope there's something in here for everyone!

*Hopefully* you didn't see this one coming, Alaina...
I'll be honest, I *knew* I had to give you a surprise bonus present (and, again, I wish it could've been Clois, but ~pressure~). I considered finishing the Andrew!Kol project, but my heart just wasn't in it... Then it happened...After 18x06 aired, my brain went *boom* (no pun intended). I knew what your special bonus present was going to be.
And, I guess it makes sense, right? To give you a bonus present using the shared fandom that has (arguably, I guess...after all we're both life long star wars fans...) caused us the most pain and heartbreak over the years. After all, what are friends for if not to spring surprise angst on you for your birthday?
Happy Birthday, Alaina. I love you, and to quote you from last year, I hope you have a fantastically incredible birthday! (my grasp on our timezone difference remains questionable at best, so um...I hope *have* is the right word T___T).
colouring; mine {roasted chestnuts included in my christmas giveaway}
Where to even start...Oh, right. Today is a very special someone's birthday. Alaina, seriously...what do I write here?
First of all, I hope you have the happiest of happy birthdays! I cannot think of anyone more deserving of a joyful, successful, peaceful, wonderful day. And I am MANIFESTING the BEST possible year for you. I WILL speak it into existence.
Time for me to get all in my feelings...look away if you don't want to listen to a grown woman turn into an absolute cheeseball mess.
A couple of years ago, Alaina started calling us kindred souls on account of us both shipping Kolvina, and we both laughed in a sort of 'isn't that cute?' kind of way. How could we ever have predicted just how true it would be?
Alaina, you make me believe in platonic soulmates. Truly, you do. (And that fate is cruel to have decided to drop us into life so far from each other...) Our conversations are always so special to me - whether it's about the important things or the seemingly insignificant ones. You're just one of my all time favourite people, and I just don't have the words to express how much you mean to me. I think I'll leave this off at thank you, because I'm already teary eyed... Just thank you for everything and for being the absolute wonder that is you.
You're my kindred soul, and I think we maybe even outdo the namesake on that one; after all, I bet Kol and Davina don't have OTPS that share a wedding anniversary...
(by the way, I'm sorry for how messy this is - I tried to hit as many of your OTPs as possible...and well, this happened).
By the way, did you guess the song correctly? I knew I *had* to vid something related to Clois for your birthday (I'm still not confident enough with their scenes to attempt a proper Clois video...yet), and what better than their (almost) wedding song?

Hello,
Join me as I play a game of - How many times can Kim edit the same song??
So...How are we all feeling? Are we all in agreement they definitely kissed after the scene cut away? The way the looked at each other in that final scene, I wouldn't be surprised if they spent the night together, let's be honest.
Look, would I have liked to see them become transparently canon on screen?Of course I would, but this is NCIS, and given the history this show has in terms of how it handles its romantic storylines, I'm taking this episode and the development these two had as an absolute win. After all, it's NCIS; "I'm not okay with you getting blown up, Ellie. I'm not okay with that." "I'm not okay with you getting blown up either." That right there is tantamount to a fully blown 'I love you' on this show!
This one's dedicated to Alaina, of course! Any NCIS video is automatically dedicated to Alaina.
Honestly, this one's a bit garbage, and I'll probably be back before the next episode (because let's be honest, it'll probably be a drought from here on out as far as Ellick content is concerned) with something, hopefully, a little better.

Hello,
You know what's ridiculous? I have been watching this show since I was literally eight years old. I've been invested in the characters since I was ten, and still this is somehow my first time editing it...
I adored Tiva with all my heart (so, seriously, don't start with any Tiva vs Ellick drama in the comments, thanks), but they have given me some serious trust issues with how this show handles romances, and yet somehow, Ellick keep pulling me back in, no matter how much I swear they're not going to...After this last episode (after MONTHS of waiting for any new content), how could I not finally, FINALLY vid them?
This isn't as good as they deserve, but it's the first time I've been inspired to open SV in weeks, and I finished it (aside from text and overlays) in one three hour sitting, so I'm content enough.
Anyway, look me in the eye and tell me these two aren't in love? I dare you. I dare them, for that matter.
Here's hoping next week's content gives me the content I need to be back with another video of them!

Hello,
Okay, this is the most random thing I've made in a while, and I absolutely didn't intend for it to become a fully fledged video when I started on it a whim, and I certainly didn't mean for it to be my first video of 2021 (I just typed 2012, send help)...yet here we are.
You ever get hit with a sudden ~need~ to vid something? Because that is what happened here... This song was stuck in my head for a few days, and I was ignoring it, then Babylon Zoo's 'Spaceman' came on when I was flicking through the music channels which in turn reminded me of MMFD, which led to me rewatching Finn/Rae scenes...which led to my brain coming up with parallels...which led to this...
It's messy, it was completed in one sitting (plus an hour or so today figuring out text...) and it shows, but eh. It's something. And I'm not one to argue when I'm actually ~inspired~
Boy am I glad I've been periodically uploading preview compilations this year - especially SW ones or this would've been a true colossus. As it is, I've trimmed it down a LOT to try and keep it vaguely manageable (and because my anxiety simply wouldn't let me let it get over 8 minutes - Vale, I may need the cacti after all). There's still a load of nonsense sitting on my laptop, never to see the light of day. But eh, such is life.
Sorry that so many of these are bare bones. I say that all the time, but some of these are truly clip placement and colouring. I've been lazy. A moment's silence for all the projects that are wasting away with just the cut song in an audio track.
Oh, and PLEASE don't mention a certain fandom - you know the one!

5. 𝘣𝘦𝘯 & 𝘳𝘦𝘺 • 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘸𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘬 This song came on randomly. I got punched in the face with the ~feelings~, what more is there to say?
6. 𝘮𝘢𝘹 & 𝘻𝘰𝘦𝘺 • 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 I love them. I can't believe they dragged me into getting invested in another love triangle, but...here we are.
7. 𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 • 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘯 Inspired by Elle's gorgeous video to this song, this is another failed OCtober project.
9. 𝘮𝘢𝘹 & 𝘭𝘪𝘻 • 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘦 I was watching Alaina's beautiful Clois video to this song, and I got Dreamer feels, because how could I not listening to this song?
10. 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘬𝘦 & 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘢 • 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦 This song just *fits* them. I have no apology to offer, nor a wish to come up with one. Just be glad I didn't also include the My Heart Will Go On preview...
11. 𝘣𝘦𝘯 & 𝘳𝘦𝘺 • 𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦𝘴 'can't decide if I should slap you or kiss you' an enemies to lovers's anthem, and I couldn't resist.
12. 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘬𝘦 & 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘢 • 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦 Sometimes a video idea just refuses to leave your head. This was one of those times.
13. 𝘥𝘢𝘯 & 𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘳 • 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘭𝘭 First of all @ any non 90s babies who are like 'that sounds like 'break up with your boyfriend' yup, Ariana's an Nsync fan! Second of all, yeah...again, some video ideas are...persistant.
14. 𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 • 𝘯𝘰𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 Just me playing around with manips after recasting Tryskia...And this song was stuck in my head after I spent too long binge watching Dora's Labyrinthverse videos. Plus, I told Vale I was looking for a song for them...We'll see, I guess.
15. 𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘺 & 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘢 • 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘶𝘴 Just me venting manip ideas that popped into my head...don't be surprised if I beg someone to do a Bridgerton crossover video with me.
16. 𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴 • 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 I started this one immediately after finishing the Say You'll Be Mine YPIV, then realised it might be a Steps overload. Also, don't tell Alaina, but there's a LOT of her OTPs in this one...
17. 𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 • 𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘴 Again, I had feelings (I blame conversations with Julia about Ford/Lucy). Had a breakdown after finished 20 seconds. Enjoy.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me and my videos this year. You're all wonderful and I'm so grateful for you! Wishing you all a safe and healthy new year!
Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate it! To those who don't, I hope you're having a wonderful day!
I had an absolutely wonderful time working on this. Was I getting myself in a state using footage I've never worked with (especially while trying not to cheat by watching your videos)? Oh yeah. Was my anxiety skyrocketing handling other people's brain babies? Very much so. Even so, I just love everyone's characters so much, that it was genuinely fun to make this.
By the way, if I've only done one part with your characters that doesn't mean I'm not fond of your characters (or you), it was a purely footage and inspiration thing.
Riven & Enda [Lee Pace & Sophia Myles] for cursethestars. Tristan & Leta [Nikolaj Coster-Waldau & Millie Brady] for captainflint. Fintan & Aerin [Mark Rowley & Adelaide Kane] for StarkQueen. Nyalah & Ilran [Synnøve Karlsen & Joe Dempsie] for MacduffProd. Leander & Athelisa [Jacob Collins-Levy & Florence Pugh] for iwannadream. Christopher & Lara [Brett Dalton & Crystal Reed] for DarkestxHearts. Namwe & Haleth [Angelina Jolie & Craig Horner] for irydionlover. Faith & Jimmy [Danielle Campbell & KJ Apa] for DarkestxHearts. Tristan & Alais [Ed Speleers & Aiysha Hart] for StarkQueen. Rayef & Carel [Gregg Chillin & Tom Payne] for MacduffProd.
Thank you to everyone who requested for trusting me with your characters! I sincerely hope I did them justice!
Anyway, go check out their channels to see these characters actually done justice!
So, I think it was back in late October/early November that Elle and I both had the idea to do a festive themed colouring giveaway...Long story short, we decided to combine our efforts and Elle has the patience of a saint, truly she does.
Anyway...here are 30 colourings - 15 for FCP and 15 for SVP! We hope you find something in there you like! If you're wondering they start on the FCP, go to SVP and alternate 'til the end!
If you use them, please be sure to give the appropriate credit!
Happy Holidays! x

Hello,
Technically, this isn't part of the YPIV week I'm working on, but a few people did request my modern OCs in my Empire video. I figured I'd group them all together in a bonus video...Turns out this is my favourite video from this week - and it was never even supposed to exist!!
Ellie & Ryan [Danielle Campbell & Brenton Thwaites] for laurenmcquilty When Finn leaves her and their world behind, Ryan seizes the chance to worm his way into Ellie's life and learn about the rival faction. What was meant to be a little bit of fun on Ryan's side gets rather more intense than he planned, and soon his coven leaders are stepping in and giving him a new target - Ellie. Only, she's beginning to catch on to his deception... (I don't ship them...but I always will).
Ford & Lucy [Dylan O'Brien & Olivia Cooke] for MacduffProd & SecretDreams Ford is Lucy's best friend, and if Lucy's coven of assassins had partners, and Lucy's health had allowed it, Ford would've been Lucy's. As things are, Ford is, aside from Ryan, the most important person in Lucy's life, and vice versa. Only, their coven doesn't believe in strong emotional attachments, they are a weakness and could get you killed and Ford has to try to reconcile his own feelings with what he (and Lucy) have been taught to believe their whole lives.
Finn & Ellie [Max Thieriot & Danielle Campbell] for iwanndream They've been paired since they were children and have become the most successful assassins of their generation. But, even as their partnership began to develop into something more, Finn was growing increasingly disillusioned with their world - ultimately resulting in him leaving it all, including Ellie, behind. One year later and he's back, and Ellie's left reeling.
Cadan & Max [Ben Barnes & Eiza González] Max is Cadan’s new partner; she fell for her first partner, but he turned on her and almost killed her. Since then she’s had major trust issues. Her relationship with Cadan is complex. There’s a mutual attraction, and she cares for him, but she’s been burnt in the past and refuses to risk putting herself out there again. Cadan’s had ‘purely physical’ relationships with most of his partners and is horrified to realise that he’s actually catching feelings and wants to keep her around.
Matt & Bernie [Charles Michael Davis & Margot Robbie] They had been a pair since they were five years old - younger than most, but they'd ~known~. And they were right; they were one of the most successful partnerships their coven had ever known. Eventually, however, Bernie began to want a different kind of life. She wanted out, and Matt wasso in love with her he would’ve done absolutely anything to make her happy. So, with the reluctant blessing of the Elders, they left.
Angsty magical assassins be angsty.
Honestly, this is probably the most proud I have been of a video in years. So...yeah, there's that.
