I made this video when I first got into Icon for Hire...which I'm sad to say, was a while ago. ^^; This videos' been finished, waiting to be uploaded for a year... I know. It's bad. I just-fdjka;fjjklfdja;lj;a.
Moving on. Out of all of Icon for Hire's great songs I chose this one, even over my favorite The Grey because I realized how perfect this song is for this character. Anyone who's actually read the manga, I hope you notice that ^^ My best friend also agreed this song fits her really well. Plus at the time I was rereading the manga and read the scene where Kyo "breaks up" with Kagura and wanted to edit with it. It's such a great but sad part. Kagura's a girl who attached herself to Kyo so she would feel better about herself. She forced herself to love him because she thought it would make up for who she was. In the end though, a part of her really did fall in love with Kyo. The song talks about pretending, which is just what Kagura was doing. "I'm fine if I can fool myself tonight" -- Kagura was fooling herself the whole time. "You're only a memory" -- Kagura loved her memories of Kyo more than who Kyo had become. "I'll scream these words till they come true" -- again, she wanted to force herself to love Kyo. Lol, I feel like I'm doing a character study. Maybe I am. And Kagura isn't really one of my FAVORITE characters... but furuba has so many great characters that that doesn't mean much. ^^; Kagura's awesome. Still I might have edited to someone else if the song hadn't fit her so well. I need to edit with this manga again! But with so many other ideas rolling around in my brain, I don't know when that'll happen.
Anyway, I LOVE Fruits Basket -- the whole franchise. It's one of the few where I like the anime almost as much as the manga. I wish I had more inspiration to edit with the anime! If you've never read it or watched it, do one of the two. I recommend reading since the manga is 4 to 5 times longer and so amazing. It's such an emotional epic that is well-written and has wonderful characters you'll be worrying about until the end. It starts out simple but gets really dark and deep later on (and I happen to love that xD). But I STILL haven't finished it! It's been over for like four years or more and I still don't have all the manga! But only four more to go! ;___; Man, all my favorite series are coming to a close... Vampire Knight, Dengeki Daisy....K-Kingdom Hearts T0T.
Eh, sorry for the rambling. Please enjoy and check out more from Icon for Hire! ^^ Also, no Fruits Basket spoilers please.

Whos a heretic now?
My tribute to season 2. It’s a bit outdated now, but what the heck? I should upload it anyway. (I finished this video months ago but its upload was stalled due to a copyright issue.)
I waited for season 2 for three years and I’m glad they gave us some real clues as to what’s going on. It took a direction I wasn’t expecting at all.
A rundown of my fave moments from season 2:
Anytime Armin showed up on screen
Yuki Kajis voice acting in that intense argument between Eren and Reiner (we are blessed to have YK)
Sasha stabbing the titan IN THE FACE
the amount of Connie goodness
trying to figure out what the stupid ending credits meant all season long
REINER GOING CRAZY
Mikasa dive-bombing titans to get to Eren
ERWIN. BRO.
that crazy intensity in the last episode!!!
Eremika Eremika Eremika and need I say more?
The #1 fave moment of the season though: when they’re trying to rescue Eren in the second to last episode, and there’s mayhem all around, and Armin just starts *talking* to Berthold and not only freaks him out but is instrumental in Eren’s rescue and he doesn’t even have to fight.
heck yeah, that’s my boy with his genius speeches
But serious stuff now. I made this video to reflect the bizarre, otherworldly, mysterious tone of season 2. I chose an “unusual” song that I felt fit that tone, plus it’s a song I was listening to a lot before I made this. Here’s to hoping the hiatus ends next year!
random note: So you know the scene after Eren figures out it’s Reiner and he does his big titan transformation? I got to go to an SnK exhibit in Japan and stand a foot away from actual sketches of that scene, drawn by Hajime Isayama. So yeah, that happened. ; ;

T is for Twist and Trapped...
Please read the story:
{STORY}
Roxas begins to have strange dreams about a girl he used to know. They used to play together when they were kids, but they got separated. Her name, he remembers, is Kairi, and he begins to see visions of her everywhere. He doesnt know whats going on, but he wants to find her, the girl he used to love. Kairi also wants to find him and somehow their love brings them together. Kairi arrives in Roxas world and sees him at the haunted mansion where they reunite. Roxas has never been happier, especially when he sees Kairi getting to know his friends and settling down in his world.
One day, something unpredictable happens. Roxas cant find Kairi anywhere and runs to find her. Finally at the haunted mansion he sees her being taken away by a man in black Organization XIII, the group he used to belong to. The organization kidnaps Kairi and Roxas vows to save her no matter what. He puts his organization coat back on and takes out the keyblades he hasnt used in a long time. He knows he will kill whoever he has to in order to find her again.
He even has to fight his former best friend Axel. They fight and Axel is defeated, but before he disappears he yells something to Roxas.
{Dont read until youve finished the video. It will spoil the ending~}
Open your eyes Roxas! Shes not real!
And the truth comes out. Kairi is a girl that Roxas found in a dream; he created her in his mind. But Roxas loves Kairi, and is too far gone to see sense. He continues to kill the members of the Organization, hoping to find her. Finally Namine, the leader of the Organization sends the strongest member Riku to capture Roxas. When they have Roxas subdued Diz (another member) wants to have Roxas eliminated, but Namine feels sad for Roxas and wants to save him. So she uses her power to fill his mind with memories of Kairi and put him into an eternal dream. He is now in a place where he can stay with Kairi forever.
Edit: I see now how the ending can be confusing... Namine does NOT kill Roxas. Its more like what happens to Sora at the end of chain of memories. Roxas goes into a sleeping state where he can live his dream with Kairi.
{COMMENTS}
I can say this confidently: this is the best video of The ABC Project yet and probably one of my best vids ever! It was torture but It was worth spending so much time on it (over a month!).
Originally I was thinking of what the theme for Letter T could be. I thought it would be fun to do twist and also use the song Trapped; somehow I came up with the idea for this video. At first I was totally scared of doing it xD The idea I had for it was so freaky and I didnt think I could pull it off. For one thing Id be using effects I wasnt used to using.
I was also worried the story wouldnt be as surprising as I wanted. Since the theme is twist I wanted that part in the story to be a shock xD I hope I got that part right. And also, this song was not easy to edit to since its so fast paced xD But somehow I did it! And Im SO excited about the finished project!!!
Oh, this was also the first video I REALLY tried to do a coloring with. I totally went all out, and I am so happy about the way it looks! I wanted it to have a dreamy look to it and also a stormy look. Because of this video I think I understand colorings a whole lot better!
hopefully no other ABC video will take as long to make as this one did xD EDIT:
(Letter Z, two months and counting! Oh wait, I think its been longer than two months...o o)
People werent joking. Kairis hair SUCKS to mask xD (Why the heck does her hair blow when theres no wind?)
{EXTRA}
I was inspired a lot by Dazzlingpaw when I made this. I took inspiration from her coloring on her Hero video ( and E.T.) to think up how I wanted this to look. I also was inspired by her effects, particularly the ones on Perfect Insanity. However I can never understand how you do your effects Daz so this looks nothing like your stuff xD Still, you inspired me~
Also, if you didnt notice, this video is dedicated to my 200+ subs! Im sorry for the late thankyou video. Thanks a lot everyone for sticking with me! I hope you continue to like my stuff, even if it isnt all KH.

![I Set | F I R E | [X]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7AoPNdvZly0/mqdefault.jpg "I Set | F I R E | [X]
X is for Exhilarate...
[Guilty Crown Spoilers]
First Guilty Crown video! And its Shu x Inori, as Im sure all my future Guilty Crown videos will be.
This anime is amazing. If you havent watched it yet go do it now. It has an awesome story with non-stop excitement and great characters. PLUS its so pretty~ (which makes editing to it a lot of fun.)
Alright, for Letter X I of course had NO idea what to do for the theme. X is not an easy letter. No surprise there. So yes, I went with EX words instead. Its easier.
And then I found the perfect theme, but was later corrected by my friend who told me the word didnt start with EX. (Thank you Desiree for helping me side-step that landmine of stupidity! If you can guess the word you get a cookie xD)
So I went to the next best thing Exhilarate. To Exhilarate is to give a feeling of elation or excitement. I hope my video gives this to you. ^^
And before I even had the theme, I KNEW I had to use set fire to the rain remix! Its the only dubstep song I love and I figured it would be a lot of fun to edit to I was right. ; ) (lol and then a week after I came up with the idea Dazzlingpaw uploaded a GC video with the same song xD MIND TWINS!)
Anyway, Im not used to editing with dubstep so Idk how well I did. But I really just wanted to make the video beautiful and exciting. It was a lot of fun! And editing to Shu and Inori is so nice X3 I love their pairing!
- This video took as long as it did because I had a footage crisis. All my GC episodes sucked. ^^; The quality was painful to look at. So I went hunting, and found some good clips! xD Yay~
[ANOUNCEMENT]
This is one of the last videos Im uploading to this channel! I think I said this in my previous upload, but my channel got two strikes. The only videos Im going to upload now are The ABC Project videos (and a few other necessary things). Since its almost over I want to finish it at the channel it started at. I have a back-up which you can find at my channel, but Im not sure Im going to be moving to this channel... As my friend Kan reminded me, the name may cause confusion... Well, thats to be decided later. Im not moving tomorrow, so I wouldnt worry about subbing anything yet (if you actually care enough to follow me.)
Also, (not as important -) Im about to reach the 1-year mark for The ABC Project! O O And I was hoping to complete this thing within a year... But I still have two more videos, and the last one... well lets just say I got a new song idea and the song is six minutes and could take forever. ^^; Well see how it goes.
For now, stay cool and I hope you enjoy this and the rest of the ABC project! TWO MORE LETTERS!!!

The ABC Project, Video I~
I deffinatley worked less on this than the last one! Can you tell? xD lol
Since H took such a long time, I pretty much started I Thursday and finished it yesterday. Its very simple I know...but after making H so long and epic I didnt want to try hard on this one. xD
I probably wont try as hard on the next one either. H took It out of me.
So sorry for this very simple, rather boring video...
I was hurrying to think of a theme for I because I only had about three days to make the video and after a little thought I came across Ice and thought of this song.
And then for some reason I thought of Vanille and Axel! Not sure where that came from...
But here is another Axille video! (Yay!)
I reaallly love this pairing and Im happy that I seem to be its biggest fan. ;D I know Ive made more vids for them than anyone else~ hee hee.
Well hope you like!
This song is super overused, but I dont care. xD
Story: Theres a small one...
Vanille and Axel were together but they recently split up. But Axel comes to Vanille and asks her to take him back. Vanille starts thinking of the past, and she knows she still loves him...
But she cant be with him anymore. Axel is too cruel and he isnt the right guy for her.
Yep there it is~
Well hope you like!
This song is super overused, but I dont care. xD
(Dang it WMG why do you feel the need to screw me over lately? )
