“Found you shaking like a leaf, underneath your family tree...”

[HD + earphones]

EDIT: for anyone who might be interested, also check out my post-TROS sort of "part 2" edit to this with the same younger Ben casting: youtu.be/sKfeKg7HdpE

Of course with two TFA vids already started (and well on the way to completion too, for once!) I had to start a third and finish it first... I guess after watching several ep.VIII theory videos –some of which way more sensible than I expected– revolving mostly around either Rey or Kylo (or both; and I must admit the Reylo ship has really grown on me since I first saw the film for several reasons, one of them being that I suddenly realized how much they could potentially remind me of another OTP of mine :o but that's a topic for another time) I was suddenly struck with Solo family feels and just had to put this together in my meagre spare time and stolen sleep hours before it escaped my mind; my inspiration is weird like that :/ even though to be honest I had wanted to vid this song with Kylo/Ben for quite a bit, and to make a video solely about him in general. He is such an amazingly complex character, and personally the more I think about it the more layers I find and the more I appreciate him. Plus Adam's performance really strikes with me the more I rewatch his scenes – the way he can communicate so much even just with body language when he's wearing his mask is amazingsauce! I expect great things from Kylo in VIII-IX (with hopefully better film plotlines than TFA...) that will make people reconsider calling him just an immature, uncharismatic emo-boy :)

The video in general revolves around Ben's stormy/mixed feelings towards his family and the place he's in now, what he's left behind and why he did it, and how this all carries into that one defining moment with his father *cries forever*. So you'll get lots of Han/Leia, and some Luke and Chewie too. I also tried my hand at manipping a bit – and I'm sorry I seem to use Narnia for all my kid fancasting of late xD I think Skandar doesn't look 100% like Adam but they have some features in common (their nose shape/facial bone structure is kinda similar), and most importantly he had convenient scenes for the kind of flashbacks I needed, so there you have my choice of casting explained.

Hope you enjoy, and please let me know your thoughts – textwork always ends up draining my energies and making me want to just be done with videos and neverever see them again in my life, so I can never tell if it's awful or if it only seems so to me because it takes me too much damn time to sort it out xD
(Also, does anyone else go seriously nuts whenever you have to colour TFA? I swear to God, that bridge confrontation scene with all that red is very atmospheric but also a nightmare to colour...and if you base a colouring on that scene it ends up looking weird on the rest of the film so you constantly have to tweak it back and forth -.-'')

Song + clips info at the end of the video. I don't own anything except my editing!
And last but not least, special thanks to my dear Lauren for giving me feedback on this one ♥

$Rey & Ben ❖ Underneath [HBD Kim!] ❝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 ♥ Song: https://youtu.be/jjKRHZPS6QU Characters: Rey & Ben Solo/Kylo Ren (Reylo) Clips: Star Wars (sequel trilogy), Star Wars - Tragedy of the Chosen One [https://youtu.be/FRbbvsxXaBs], Jungle (blue butterfly clips) Colouring: charizzaard (edited) I dont own anything except my editing; no copyright infringement intended. #fanvidfeed #starwars #starwarsedit #bensolo #rey #reylo #reyloedit #kyloren$

$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 ► House Gryffindors unity: instrumental music A huge shoutout goes to my dearest Lauren (laurenmcquilty) who bore with me all the time while I was panicking and brainstorming over this video.
