❝Did none of it matter?❞
[HD + earphones]
As I expected and as per usual, SV gave me hell on this project so the actual 24th is probably well over for you, but...HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR LAUREN!
You are one of the most creative and enthusiastic people I know. Your positivity is infectious and awesome, and I am beyond proud to have been able to call you my friend for all these years -- and now I am also proud to have finally finished something in time for your birthday, which I had been wanting to do for ages! As you know, inspiration constantly conspires against me when these kinds of deadlines approach, but I made it this time and I hope you like this little something (even if I can't stand to watch it anymore after having to fix 18372764 mistakes). I'd warn you against feels, but you know me -- I can't vid happy and/or fluffy for the life of me, so I decided to just embrace the dark side and go for it.
(Ps: I even managed to vid Merlin for you after aeons and the never-healing burning disappointment for how that show ended. Consider this as the definitive proof of my love xD)

So, what started with me having wanted to edit Obikin to Placebo for ages (and how could I *not* vid Obikin for Lauren, since these two are basically the way we met?) ended up turning into a study of sorts in parallels between favourite fandoms and the broken brotherhood/friends-to-enemies dynamics in them. Three are among mine and Lauren's all-time favourites, and one is a fandom I haven't yet pestered her to watch nearly enough (especially since both a certain Madden *and* a certain James have major roles in said show). For some reason, these kinds of relationships often tend to be the most heartbreaking to me, so I suppose this is as personal as a fandom video can get for me ;_;
Featuring the following pairs of tragic idiots:
Anakin Skywalker & Obi-Wan Kenobi (Star Wars prequels)
Arthur Pendragon & Mordred (Merlin BBC)
Lorenzo de' Medici & Francesco de' Pazzi (Medici: The Magnificent)
Edward IV Plantagenet & George Plantagenet (The White Queen)
And kudos to whom recognizes where the quotes are from: whoever you are, you have good literary taste 😊

I apologize for this being another breach to my no-collab-parts-on-this-channel rule, but:
1. I wanted to let you know Im not dead (just starting to be busier and extremely stressed out because of a crucial exam session approaching, but still alive for now ^^);
2. This is probably the most Ive worked my ass on a 20-sec collab part (I had totally forgotten how much of a pain those scar manips are...) and tbh Im fairly proud of the result, so I just wanted to show you guys; and
3. I know a few people subscribed to my channel for my Telltale Game of Thrones vids and Ive neglected my bbs Forresters awfully (I never finished my ep.6 video, Im a disgrace ;_;), so I thought at least those of you among them might like to see this, even if very short ^^
So, this was made for the ever-lovely Julia (MacduffProd)s amazing fancast MEP – she finally gave me the perfect excuse to expand on my Forrester fancast I had started back in the day with my Rodrik/Elaena video. I tried referencing specific scenes in the game (and following my “canon” playthrough in terms of determinant choices), in particular:
-Asher meets Drogon and Daenerys (ep.3);
-Rodrik promises Talia they will avenge Ethans death (ep.2);
-Ramsay dares Rodrik to slit his throat (ep.5; with this colouring you cant see the knife very well but its supposed to be there...xD);
-Margaery introduces Mira to Cersei (ep.1);
-Mira and Morgryn in the Black Cells; Mira accepts death (ep.6);
-the Whitehills ambush Asher and Rodrik; Asher stays behind (ep.5);
-Rodrik battles Gryff Whitehill (ep.6).
Fancast list:
Jake Gyllenhaal as Rodrik Forrester
Alexander Ludwig as Asher Forrester
Anna Popplewell as Mira Forrester
Chloë Grace Moretz as Talia Forrester
Skandar Keynes as Ethan Forrester
Alexis Michalik as Gryff Whitehill
Nick Hendrix as Rickard Morgryn

Ive joined the overload of videos about the finale of Merlin super-late, but here I am!
As impossible as it may seem, that damn episode killed all my video inspiration and I really struggled with this, I think it shines through because I am not really happy with how its come out...but at least I can show you Im not dead! -unlike certain characters we know Dx-
This song is sung for a characters death in SWATH, and I wanted to give the video a sorta requiem feel because the finale was a tragedy for everyone and it depressed me for days (along with some wonderful but heartbreaking works I saw on here). Never in my wildest imagination would I have ever thought, when I started this journey with Merlin, that all of my beloved characters would end up dead or forever mourning their lost ones and the loss of their supposed destiny. Everything just feels so unfair and crushing, especially when trying to work with old episodes and seeing all of those moments of hope and joy and comparing them to the bitter end. To be honest, I wasnt happy at all with how some crucial aspects of the ending were solved, and thats also probably a reason that kept me from vidding it so far. For example, I hated the way they disposed of Morgana so cheaply, no final meaningful talk, no redemption or even the actual magical fight between her and Merlin I had been patiently waiting for since s3 (no, pushing each other around doesnt count and only looks cheap after a while). It was as if she was utterly unimportant, not one of the main characters they spent 5 years with, let alone one of their most interesting and compelling ones...and lets not get started on all the unanswered questions they STILL left hanging.
However, what I did love was how heart-wrenchingly beautiful Merlin and Arthur were. As the two halves of destinys coin, there wasnt another way they could live their last adventure but together and with Arthur finally getting to know his sorcerers truest self...no more layers between them, just their unique bond of friendship and brotherhood. And right then, Merlin had to let go of the one and only constant that had given him purpose, lose the one he cared for the most, and on top of that had to live a thousand years thinking he had failed him and waiting to find him again. I dont think I can imagine a more heartbreaking fate than his :(
I also felt immense ache for Gwen, who didnt even get to say goodbye to her love, who lost everything, her husband, even her best friend because I got the impression Merlin never went back to Camelot (or did he? another mystery there :/)...she couldnt even allow herself the time to cry because she had to be strong for her people.
And my poor Gwaine T T his death was so unnecessary?! So.much.pain! I think Im only starting to cope properly now, with the help of uni distracting me ^^ anyway, things I didnt like and things I did aside, this series will always hold a piece of my heart, and I will never stop vidding it. I already have a few ideas, and Im in a Merlin contest which has just started...so expect to keep seeing me vidding my favourite story and characters in the world!
...and if youve gone through all my rant, youre officially a hero! :D

You frighten me...
Made for the second round of MVT (this time, not in a big hurry for once!)
For this round we had to choose one character from the series and switch them to bad if theyre canonly good, or vice versa. I first wanted to try Gwen, but then I changed my mind and chose Gaius. I think there are no vids about him being evil on YT apart from mine and justeagle11s who also vidded him for this round? xD (and there must be a reason to it, because hes not easy to be turned at all, even if some of his Goblin scenes in 3x03 really helped.)
Plot: the video begins with Merlin being arrested and sentenced to death for sorcery by Uther. Gaius tries to make him see reason, but the King wont listen, and so he has to watch his adoptive son die, helpless...which drives him mad. He remembers the Dragons words about how he always stood back and did nothing to help other sorcerers during the Great Purge, and decides that this time Uther has to pay. He gives him a potion to torment him with visions of all the innocents hes killed in his war against magic. However, a new physician comes to Camelot, Edwin (who is also reversed to be good in this AU instead), who claims to be able to cure all ills; hes summoned at the castle, and hes indeed able to cure Uther, much to Gaiuss dismay. With magic, he creates a stronger potion for the hated king, but Edwin has grown suspicious of him and catches him red-handed. He intends to tell the king immediately, but Gaius wont let him ruin his plans of revenge and kills him by animating an axe with magic. Hes then able to bring the new potion to Uther, killing him for good this time.
All the kingdom grieves for its Kings death. While standing at his deathbed, Morgana (whos still on Camelots side too) catches a glimpse of Gaius smirking, and she understands he must be behind all this. She confronts him, and he warns her to stay out of his way, for her own sake. Afraid that shell expose him, Gaius eventually decides its safer to get rid of Morgana too, so he prepares a new poisonous elixir and slips into her chambers at night, leaving some drops of it into her goblet. She drinks from it the day after, and chokes to death in front of a terrified Gwen.
In the end, Arthur is crowned the next King, but Gaius means no good to him either (I figured out he would be mad at him for not doing more to save Merlin)...at the coronation hes hiding another dangerous potion in his hands.
Dont know how evil he looks in the actual vid though...hope he does :D please, tell me what you think!

I dont usually upload collab parts on this channel (actually I dont upload them anywhere recently, since Ive so brightly lost the password to my backup channel and cant seem to retrieve it thanks to G+s awesome *insert sarcasm* recovery system ^^), but Ive become very fond of this couple while editing and I dont think Ive seen anything with them around...so I felt like they deserved an upload of their own. If I ever come across the right song I definitely need to make a full video for them...the fabricant turned revolutionary and her Jedi protector who takes her with him into the Rebellion, how perfect is that? :)
Made for my own Kings MEP which youll hopefully see in April. I slightly rearranged my two parts together to upload this in a sorta vidlet form, but you can consider this a preview? The other two parts I got so far look amazing, and Im so looking forward to see this completed! (Colouring probably isnt going to be this one though, because I spent quite some time on it only to find out it somehow looks decent on my clips only :S)")
