"Losing your grip before it all fades..."
This video hasn't come out really well in some parts, but as I had to finish it overnight because I'm leaving for a week today I guess I can be happy with it xD.
This was made for the One Effect round of BOIT; for this round we had to choose one effect to use throughout the video, along with other basic effects allowed. I chose Gaussian Blur, and I basically used all of the other allowed fx.
I can't properly express my love for this film, it has easily become one of my faves! The story is so haunting and beautiful, and I was pleasantly surprised at how significantly the fantasy and the real-life storyline entwine together. This song made me think of Ofelia, the little protagonist, because to me the lyrics describe exactly what she does, using her "colorful mind" to escape the violent, awful reality she lives in.
Song: "Colorful Mind" by Broken Iris
Voiceover (translation from the original Spanish language): "A long time ago, in the Underworld, there lived a princess who dreamt about the world of the humans. One day, after tricking her guardians, the princess escaped, but once outside the sunlight blinded her, erasing from her memory every trace of her past."

[Warning, random writing moment following!]
Im so happy to have finished this video. First, because its my last summer vid, as school started today, and I dont know how much free time Ill have left since this year is going to be a REAL mess. We just got 6 tests planned in the next 2 weeks and thats like OMG. I dont even know where to start studying! So, sorry if you wont see me around too often...
Second reason is that, finally, I made a video which focuses about the entire SW saga! Im re-discovering the Original Trilogy in this period; although I must say Im really sick of constantly reading nasty comments on SW vids arguing if the Prequels or the Original films are better. Personally, I love the entire saga, and I think that all the movies together complete each other; and as the OT will always be the one who makes us feel nostalgic because we started knowing the Star Wars universe through it, I do think that the PT added so much depth to the story we already loved. You cannot look at the old characters the same way, and especially at Anakin/Vader, who is one of my main reasons of addiction to the films (Im not saying it because of Haydens looks, I swear! :D). He is such a complex character, but you can really tell only if you watch all the six movies.
So, to people who like to argue, please try to grow up and, if you really like SW, to see it as the entire story it is. A story of fall and redemption, of fear and love and friendship and magic, where war is just a secondary aspect.
Okay, now I said it :P sorry for the long outburst guys!
The video should be pretty understandable, I think, if you follow the lyrics. Its about Anakins fall, losing all of his loved ones because of his cancer inside (fear of loss); his life as Darth Vader, and his final redemption: he becomes Anakin Skywalker again because, thanks to his son, he finally surrenders to the good emotions that were just buried deep inside him.
Hope youll like it! :)
DEDICATIONS: to my 100+ subbers...whoa! You guys ROCK! I wouldve never thought so many of you could like my vids, thank you so so much, your support means the world to me, and makes me want to keep going on!
Special dedication to TheSweetElise, because she loves the OT really much :)

(Project alternatively known as: trying to forget that Im supposed to discuss my degree dissertation in 4 days time...from behind a computer screen. 😱)
There are so, so many characters and relationships worth vidding in the Medici series as a whole that I wholeheartedly love (this first autumn without it feels rather empty, on top of all the other awful, disorienting happenings 2020 has brought). Yet I somehow always seem to come back to s2 – the superior season, lets all be honest here – and brothers of choice torn apart by poor decisions, deeply rooted dichotomies and manipulative old men...just like another all-time favourite pair of mine.
Also: this turned out really shippy and I regret absolutely nothing. (If you will, especially blame Daniels utter lack of chill and disregard of personal space as Lorenzo for the entirety of that season for it.)
Shoutout to Kim and Lauren for letting me enthuse about these tragic boys while I was working on this; as always, you are beyond lovely and my slowpoke self doesnt deserve you.
Comments always make my day, so do stop by if you feel like it ♥

A summary to the inception of this video: Vale gets sucked into a new fandom, catches one of her notorious sympathy for the devil cases, ends up only really rooting ship-wise for the one ship in said show that eventually explodes into a supernova of angst, and suffers for it. See a pattern? Because I do xD when will I ever learn, honestly.
I can safely say Im never regretting finally picking up Voltron though granted, I might have wanted to pick a less crazy season to culminate my episodes-marathon with ^^ but this show is amazing in every possible way. Multi-layered, relatable, diverse and engaging characters at every corner, deep themes and amazing art style make it the real virtual heir to ATLA that LOK never quite was to me. After seeing so many gorgeous edits around its so exciting to be able to join the fray!
There are so many things and people worth vidding about in the show (makes me wish I didnt suck so much at general videos) and I have a lot of favourites, but these two had to take precedence because...after seeing s5 and s6 one after the other I needed some serious elaboration of feels. This is the result, which I hope doesnt show too much how new to the fandom I am ^^
As for Lotor himself, who is a bit of a hot topic at the moment...I have lots, lots to say about him and Ill thank the stars forever for Anouk and Becca, aka the ones who prompted me to finally dive into VLD, to have born with my ramblings these past couple of weeks in which I have annoyed them to no end (and especially Anouk, who doesnt even like him all that much ^^) here I will just say that, however you see him, he is amazingly complex and one of the most fascinating antagonists in recent media, I think. Despite his terrible deeds, I still believe he has it in him to do right by the end of this story and deserves to have a shot at freeing himself from the shadows of his upbringing, but I suppose only time will tell which reading of him is correct and if he really is just a charming, crafty bastard (for which I will probably love him no less) xD. In the meantime, I was overly glad to hear the producers confirm his feelings for Allura as very real a tiny bit of vindication as a shipper, and perhaps a clue that he really isnt 24/7 manipulating people. Arent shades of grey better in a character anyway?

❝𝑪𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒅𝒉. Our safe haven.
He certainly is. Elàthans eyes beamed with unbridled happiness, her own throat lumping at the sight.
They had all of her; her one truth left unsaid burying itself deeper in the folds of her shamed heart, more impossible to utter now than ever. For how could Agne ever afford to lose either of them?❞
[HD + smallscreen + earphones]
Incredible but true, channel not completely dead and buried. Hi, everyone, its been a while 👋🏻
Youtube has pretty much felt like alien territory to me for quite some time now tbqh. I dont especially like where fandom culture and attitudes at most of the time, AI constantly invading creative spaces actively makes me sick, nor very often does fandom editing feel as meaningful, given the generally horrifying state of the world.
I do always miss and hope to regain some enthusiasm for long edits, at least every once in a while (and I do still love crossover work the old-fashioned, cookie-cutter/mask-based way, just building on actors actual scenes and expressions)...so even when that inspiration comes in the form of a rather overused love song and characters that have been with me for 5+ years that only I and maybe one other soul will care about (you know who you are 💗), it seems worth taking. If only for these guys to exist in some more concrete form than inner thougts, singular manips accumulated through the years and sparse writing bits 😶🌫️
If youd like, you can see this as a crossover featuring the most random combination of people...or, if anyone remembers this video from 2019: https://youtu.be/5vtpfC2RogQ , this is supposed to be set in the same universe: Elàthan and Grìan, featuring here, are Nàrs twin children, inheriting their share of unpredictably manifesting powers from her (Elàthan is an empath, who also diligently picked up sword-training as what he felt as compensation for his very non-offensive skillset; while Grìan is an elemental mage in the more traditional sense).
The third generation of the Ibnàri family story is very much a sibling story at its core – about how to survive the loss of self in very high-fantasy, dealing-with-magical-powers-too metaphorical terms, to summarize it in a very concise way; also, about how love sometimes isnt enough but no less meaningful and event-shaping. However, somewhere along the way I started thinking about how the family line could best continue on, and my tragedy-lover -and always romance-starved- self decided to add doomed lovers to an already loaded mix. And this, after a rather long-winded premise, is the primary subject of this particular video: a focus on Elàthan (always wearing his heart on his sleeve even in a nest of vipers), his lady Agne (always juggling court schemes and actual ~feelings~, mind and heart at constant war) and the legacy their love creates in their son, in spite of everything falling apart around them. Not the first proper edit I expected to ever get done about possibly my favourite generation to plot for (making something focused on the twins remains high on my list of things I hope to get under my belt, as they and their bond move the story the most and theres a lot of myself poured there ❤️🩹), but 2025 was the year where I started to get more definite ideas about gen 4 of this family, which is also why these unfortunate beans and their relationship have had my heart and been on my mind a lot.
-falling down somewhat of a dizi-shaped rabbit hole with Taners latest series last year maybe contributed too, lol-

![I was all over her. ❧ [hugh & demelza]
So I must surrender? My vision, and...my hearts desire?
[HD + earphones]
Crawling out of my hole to put my hands back on good ol Poldark, and to vid this unexpected ship I found myself shipping. I honestly really liked most of this last seasons additions to the cast – I adore Drake/Morwenna, the purest souls in Cornwall; and even vicar Osborne as disgusting as he is had his semi-comical moments (and the actor is phenomenal). As for the other prettyface in specific question here, aka Hugh Armitage...I really didnt want to like him at the beginning, having an inkling of what was going to happen. But he has been nothing but sweet and in an adorable state of awe of Demelza, their chemistry together has been off the charts, he has never pressured her into things and his heartfelt poems would melt any heart. Demelza on the other hand has been as honest as she could (not to mention patient!) with Ross, has laid bare her heart over and over again and remained steadfast, while he keeps brushing off their issues, being cold and not at all honest about Elizabeth (and lets not start about his infuriating narrow-mindedness about public offices). It has taken him two whole seasons to maybe start thinking about being less of an ass, and I honestly hope this one last cold shower finally wakes him up a bit.
I also jumped at the spark of inspiration to vid these two because my dearest Laura (laurakenji) has a bit of a crush on Josh from what I know! Cara Gen, come forse ormai sai io con video di compleanno o cose simili sono un disastro e non riesco mai ad essere giusta coi tempi, ma visto anche lultimo periodo piuttosto difficile per te e i discorsi seri fatti a maggior ragione ci tenevo a dedicarti qualcosa, senza una particolare occasione correlata, che spero ti faccia sorridere per un paio di minuti ♥
I also wanted to say Im deeply sorry about any misshap with collab parts I owed people that has happened over these five months. I am not usually so sloppy, but I had to take a serious break from YT for quite a while because I kinda had a mental breakdown not too long ago, and my assessment of my self-worth probably touched its lowest ever. I couldnt open SV, or really do anything without feeling stupid and useless; and much of it is/was related to my being stuck in my university for a long time. So after touching this record low, Ive finally made the decision to change almost everything about my studying choices, and try to ignore external judgement as much as possible...because I dont ever want to get to that point again. Starting anew completely from scratch at my age is scary as hell, but I truly hope doing something I like with my life will help me regain my self confidence. Getting back to vidding is a sidestep in that direction too, I guess – but I still feel bad if it has inconvenienced any of you. Ill try my best to make it up in the future!

Another video finished overnight, because Im just about to leave again -for Greece this time!- and I only had yesterday and tonight to make this in time for the deadline (seems its becoming a habit. Sorry if this is anything but good!). And another one for MVT! I cant believe Ive come this far into the contest! But theres no way Im going to pass the round with this rushed vid (again)...anyway, considering the very short time I had, I think the outcome is at least in the realm of bare decency ;_;
For this round we had to vid a scene we wanted to change in the series. I chose Merlins retrieval of Excalibur in 3x13. Seriously, was I the only one who waited the whole episode for an actual Merlin/Freya reunion?? When she told him from the magical water that she would see him again I just jumped on my chair with excitement for them to actually reunite, even for the briefest of moments...and then we only got to see her arm! These two so deserved a final moment together.

“You’ll leave me alone in this darkness...
[HD + earphones make a difference!]
“Anakin.” Obi-Wan’s voice had gone soft, and his hand was warm on Anakin’s arm. “There is no other Jedi I would rather have at my side right now. No other man.”
Anakin turned, and found within Obi-Wan’s eyes a depth of feeling he had only rarely glimpsed in all their years together; and the pure uncomplicated love that rose up within him then felt like a promise from the Force itself.
“I… I wouldn’t have it any other way, Master.”
“I believe,” his onetime Master said with a gently humorous look of astonishment at the words coming out of his mouth, “that you should get used to calling me Obi-Wan.”
(Matthew Stover, ROTS novelization)
Crying forever because of how heartbreakingly beautiful these two are. They were and still are my very first brotp, and I guess in the irrational way we hold on to our first loves they will keep shattering all my feels to pieces until the end of my days ç.ç
Prequels haters gonna hate, but to me the relationship between Anakin and Obi-Wan will always be one of the best things (if not *the* best thing) about SW. And if you tell me that Ewan and Hayden’s portrayals didn’t add a whole new universe of layers and depth to the original Vader and Obi-Wan, then you’re either lying to yourself or blind, and nothing will ever make me think otherwise.
I also think the first CW cartoon is awfully underrated and has a whole lot of awesome scenes and plotlines (will forever love the Nelvaan Quest episodes…and will forever love Obi being grumpy in the rain, and him and Ani making a generator explode and then strolling away together in the middle of the battle like total bosses just a little while earlier :D), so that’s why I decided to put it to good use here. About the video as a whole, well…I’ve been wanting to make a new video about these two with better quality clips (and hopefully better editing skills, too ^^) for basically forever, and I cannot begin to explain how much it means to me to have finished this. I guess to me this video is also a sort of testament of how much I’ve learned in these years of vidding, since these two were my very first topic to explore with Sony Vegas – I’ve grown up with them as beloved characters and I believe I’ve grown up with them as a vidder too, and this is another reason why they will always be special to me. As soon as I heard this powerful song I knew it was the one (even if it’s quite a hard song to vid, with its constant rhythm changes!), and for once I’m pretty happy with the result. I hope you will enjoy as well – and if you do, any comments would be super-appreciated, especially since I spent a ridiculous amount of time on this ♥
