AwakeningEden | Meant to be Forever [Clintasha/Guardianbee] @AwakeningEden | Uploaded 11 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
I finished this up last week, but wasn't allowed to upload it until the collab contest at BFLS was over.

I had a blast editing this, partially because I got to work with a bunch of footage I hadn't before, and I partially because of Guardianbee~ Seriously, I love Mal and Karen so much, either as a couple or characters in their own right. And I get really ticked off sometimes that they're so underrepresented in the YJ fandom when they had the best (and most well-written) romantic subplot of the entire show. They literally meet all the criteria of how you should incorporate romance in the action genre AND it develops both characters at the same time! While never overshadowing the main plot! How can people not adore them just as much, if not more, than their rather lackluster counterparts? Ugggh.

Okay, besides the point, but still, this vid was for a collab contest, and the theme my team and I decided to pick was loyalty in whatever form it could come across. I decided to focus on romantic as well as camaraderie-like loyalty, and focused on two couples I believed fit both those roles. At first, I thought of using Dickbabs for my DC couple, but thought against it for the previous thoughts above. I chose Clintasha because that's pretty obvious, as well as because they are one of my all-time favorite Marvel couples, right up there with Rogue/Gambit. The focus in more on Clint and Mal, respectively, and how they'd follow their lady loves until the bitter end. I decided to use two different animations for both couples, and I think it worked out well. And besides, I don't think I've seen anyone edit with the Herald before, and so I'm glad I could be one of the first~ Mixed the style a bit, so I hope it's an improvement.

Anyway, this is getting really long...I hope you guys have fun watching this! And maybe it will inspire a few people to write or draw or vid some Guardianbee, maybe?
