Story: The night before the group goes to see Hydaelyn, Azena sneaks out to face her alone. She convinces Hydaelyn to merge with her and the two face Endsinger together after absorbing the Mothercrystal. However, it took too much from her and while she survives, she falls into an endless sleep.
This breaks Fey and Astra, who are determined to wake her up at any cost. They start hunting down criminals to drain them of aether to give to her, and slowly but surely move on to anyone they can get their hands on.
Leila goes to stop them, but is easily struck down and drained as well just as her brother Almeric shows up. Enraged, he moves to kill his former friends. He nearly loses, but Astra is too weak to go on and begs Fey to use the rest of her aether to give to Azena, hoping that will wake her up once and for all. Almeric takes Fey down.
Hundreds of years later, Azena does manage to wake up to an unfamiliar world, and wanders around until she finds a familiar face. However, he blames Azena for the whole situation and in a fit of rage he kills her as well.
Characters:
Azena belongs to me
Fey belongs to @BlehxIshxMe
Astra belongs to @EnglishRosie
Leila and Almeric belong to @starstruckbromance

But hey one more video for the year! Thank you for watching me edit my blorbo over and over.
Story: Azena and Leofard used to be on and off friends-with-benefits. After she loses Ardbert she goes back to him but it's a bad idea because she's not in the right headspace. Esteem tries to tell her so. She only sort of listens. Then after time and personal growth she can go back and be normal FWBs again. (Or more??? Who knows???)

Also this is a sequel to my previous video, so if you haven't seen it please go check it out here: youtube.com/watch?v=-srFmNzXtPY
So. I made another one. :D
The story is loosely based off the Rebellion Madoka movie, or at least an attempt to capture some of the same vibes. I'm hoping it's clear enough on its own and again, but as a reminder, this is an alternate universe.

Special thanks: All of my friends, but particularly my backseat editor @EnglishRosie
Just a lazy edit I made with one of my favorite comfort songs. I’ve edited with it at least half a dozen times and I’m sure this isn’t the last.

Well, why not put your WoLs into a fake magical girl anime? This was definitely more technically difficult than the other videos I've done, but like before, I had a serious blast with it.
I'm hoping the story can make sense on its own, but just please note this is an alternate universe idea.
(The brunette hyurs are siblings, and the two au ra are twins.)

Song: youtube.com/watch?v=5bXghcyKDKA
Special thanks: All of my friends, but especially @EnglishRosie who uh, pretty much half edited this with me and spent so long helping me decide on shots and working everything out.
I probably won't finish this, the lag issues are just too annoying and I don't really edit exactly like this - now I used fewer layers and more hard cuts - so... yeah.
It's actually a remake of a much older video, found here: youtube.com/watch?v=iAjopZ4s6rc
Also the coloring is by @starstruckbromance
Is it a five minute video of my wolship? Hell yes it is. I just have so much fun editing FFXIV, honestly. It’s fresh and there are so many possibilities and I’m so grateful to have met as many wonderful people through the game and editing as I have.
Story background: this is my main WoL Azena. She exists in a multi-WoL universe and is not Azem.

Special thanks: As usual, my besties were more than willing to stand around and be warm bodies as I needed, and for that I am eternally grateful.
If you saw this before I noticed 1-2 small errors I wanted to fix. :') I ended up rendering this like 6 times.
Song: /watch?v=1U9Ph_Qeh-E
Coloring: @starstruckbromance [modified]
:D
This was so so much fun, AUs and doing my own "storylines" has always been something that makes me really happy.
I tried rendering this 5-6 times, and just... couldn't get all the errors out. u__u So I see and know some of the clips look a bit crunchy, but alas, I don't have the emotional strength to keep trying different options.
So these two are mine, although the moonkeeper doesn't have a name or a story or idea or anything - she just kind of is. The other bun at the end belongs to Laurin, she's an absolute doll for helping so much and letting her use her very sweet bun! (And there's a small spattering of cameos here and there.)
As usual, a SUPER big thank you to my patient friends who both stood around for me when I asked being my actors and hyping me up as I threw preview after preview at them.

:D I had so many thoughts but they are now gone from my head. EW was an amazing expansion, and I really enjoyed making this. (Also it may get blocked just because I've had bad luck with this artist before, but alas, if it's taken down it's taken down.)

Special thanks: :'D Laurin for pushing me to finish this and for the excessive encouragement.
A little over a year ago I made a video with this song and it's been... a whirlwind of a year, as I'm sure it has been for a lot of people. But there have been a lot of great times! I am still incredibly invested in this game and I've really been enjoying messing with my own angles and clips and ideas.
So I wanted to try again! Thank you to anyone who's still been watching, even if you aren't really into FFXIV that much, it means a lot.

Tango made this coloring, btw!! It's the same one from her birthday video, we went matchy matchy!
Hm. Well, I've got nothing to say except I'm trapped on the FFXIV gravy train and it ain't stopping anytime soon. Really. And I've been editing them a lot, I've just... kept most of them unlisted.
For this video specifically I was mostly practicing with Twixtor and with CMtools to get different angles and clips and try different things with NPCs/etc. I really wanted it to match the 'things aren't quite right' vibe and I'm really happy with how it turned out!
Idk if I could really explain story-wise since I tried to make it more dreamlike, but the main girl is my OC Azena. She has a twin sister Fey (who belongs to Laurin) and they were tragically separated when they were young. She was adopted by two catgirls, K'yalie and M'aelynn (the OCs from my last video, belonging to myself and Rosie) until uh... they died tragically. (Azena killed them but long story.)
The other three OCs in the video are Astra (who is Rosie's current OC) and then the siblings Leila and Almeric. (who belong to Tango!) We decided to go for a multi-WoL universe so all four girls fight crime together, essentially.
Inspiration: youtube.com/watch?v=n56zmGQ3Sho
And if you've been around my channel at all, you know these three since I adore them, but if not, here:

Hm. Well. The new TS album has taken over my life and... so had XIV. So they kind of intersected.
About two and a half years ago I tried to get into the game with Rosie, aaaand gave up before the first dungeon. Alas. We made two cute catgirls who were childhood friends, knight-and-her-lady archtypes, and they got repurposed into the current OC's backstory as her adopted parents.
Um, also a HUGE help to Tango, who made the coloring I used and died properly as requested, and also Rosie, they both let me drag them all over the game with poor instructions to help me get the shots I wanted.
Almost six months ago a bunch of us started playing FFXIV together and it's been SO so much fun. When I started I told myself I wouldn't resort to editing my own character "like a loser" but buddy, nah, I adore her to pieces so I'm gonna do what I want.
And that includes only editing 25 seconds because it's my favorite part of the song.

This was for a special event for the Pokemon League editing contest - this year it's villain tributes, so I decided to focus on Seymour and his gross nails. c:
the coloring was done by the AMAZING Tango, seriously, she has a gift for making things look lovely youtube.com/channel/UCUZUjw5kDtMYRSaI1CeWQvg

Lightning enters into a contract with the god of the world to go back in time again and again to save the girl she loves from tragedy. Every time she loops she stops in the world between as everything resets. One day, she notices she's not alone...

I want to seriously give a huge shoutout to my friends, they were instrumental in testing and offering suggestions and helping with clips. I'm sure if you're subbed to me you probably know these girls but if not, SERIOUSLY check them out, they are amazing.

Tango, France, and Laurin especially were SO helpful with finding and recording clips for me:
The coloring is Tango's (she is INCREDIBLY talented at colors, holy crap)
The VII Remake clips are mostly from Laurin (she recorded a lot of them for this specifically and I am SO SO grateful for it ;u; we ride and die for life)
Any of the other modded or greenscreen clips - XV, X, Crisis Core, etc. - are from France, who has done an AMAZING job making sure the mods work and greenscreening it which has seriously sped up the time I spent masking/manipulating a lot of this.
Unfortunately - and believe me, we debated this one - only one of each match up could advance to the final round.
Just like last time, we'll be putting up a document in the discord to summarize the scores and our thoughts.
Round 3 is still under the works - please be sure to read the announcements - and we're looking forward to seeing who the ultimate winner in the Shuffle Wars is!

This is for the Thunder Badge and my challenge was to make a story with Greek mythology or a sequel to a previous video. And me, of course, being on a huge Hadestown loser, did both. Ish. It's not MY video that I continued, but uh, Rosie's.
Rosie's AU video: youtube.com/watch?v=WsCAU8_wUx4
Hadestown was originally a concept album by Anais Mitchell, and it's a re-imagining of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth in a post-apocalyptic Prohibition Era-esque setting. I HIGHLY recommend it, it is absolutely delightful.
Also I will admit I took a TON of inspiration with the text from another one of Rosie's videos as well as Tango's because hot damn, if you guys haven't seen them edit you really should. They are absolutely amazing editors.
Rosie's text inspo: youtube.com/watch?v=MjB39p2jGuw
Tango's text inspo: youtube.com/watch?v=KTb9L6nhSHs
And last but not least, this video would not have happened without my beautiful SexyShoopuf delivering with amazing green screen clips for Zack. I genuinely did very little masking in this video - mostly touch up things and text effects. Please, if you haven't checked her out do so, you will not be disappointed.

Hooooi! I am once again editing last minute to enter something, but that's how I roll! This was for TLP's "Spring Cleaning" event where we were supposed to take an old beta and finish it!
Original: youtube.com/watch?v=IWKGSKz-tvo&feature=youtu.be&t=184
:)) Well I kept... uh, um, the characters? Some of them? Maybe??
Basic plot: Balthier's in love with Snow, but he's very sad over his fiancee's death and doesn't care about him. He goes off the deep end and starts sacrificing girls to possibly bring her back. Lightning and Balthier go to stop him, but it's too late and his attempts to bring Serah back only serve to twist him into a monster. Balthier hesitates because he's boo boo the fool, but Light knows that monsters have to be killed.
Thankfully the deadline for Tri.umph was extended a few days because holy crap. I... yeah. So there are mistakes and the text is more static than I would've liked but I'm just so happy I got this done in time!
I am part of team Mediocrity at its Best and please please check out my teammates' videos, they're awesome:

I did have to rush this which is why the text isn't completed and only in that first spot.

This was part of an IC in a GMV Community Discord I'm apart of! It was a week long, which is the oooonly reason this looks semi-finished, and you can see where I just... ran out of time. The theme was to try something new, which I tried like, the pro titler which I've avoided for years as well as parent/child layers and 3D motion layers. So it was a ton of fun!
Also this is SUPER dedicated to my dear, dear Laurin, also known as BlehxIshxMe up in here. She's been an absolutely amazing friend for many years and I'm genuinely a better person for having known her. Aerith is her girl and Clerith is her thing so here you go!

This is for the Earth Badge and my challenge was to remake an old video using a cover! Honestly, this was way harder than I thought it would be and I ran out of steam near the end. Like damn.
Anyway, here's the original, feel free to judge both as you wish: youtube.com/watch?v=oezqBcPbdiU
And while I'm here, let me share two of my favorite videos with the song:
scherzo2notte's Losing You, where I got this cover: youtube.com/watch?v=0HOH_SaYCRE
Lukenix's Over My Head: youtube.com/watch?v=Je6AgmTqzA0
I hope everyone had a great Christmas and I hope everyone has a happy new year!
Link: youtube.com/watch?v=2nS-1WNspfQ
This is for the Cascade Badge, and the focus was on flow and the artist I was given was Halsey.
I think this is the first time I've ever actually used live-action footage and honestly it was fun as hell. This is one of my favorite movies ever - it just hits all the boxes for my aesthetic and it has a long ass ballroom scene and I adore ballroom scenes.
I hope everyone has a great holiday!
(Is this connected to the werewolf shit from earlier this year? Ehhhhh yes...? Maybe?? Who knows?? You tell me.)
Link: youtube.com/watch?v=2nS-1WNspfQ
This is for the Soul Badge, and the theme of the badge is strong emotion. What I was trying to portray was something akin to... bitter nostalgia? It's kind of a twisting stomach, metallic-taste-on-your-tongue kind of bitterness when you remember certain people in your life that you dearly, dearly loved but that you know you never can or never should reconnect with. It's a feeling you compare new relationships to and then you fear that nothing will ever come close and then you just long for that lost person.
Life is Strange is really awesome for that because of the parallels between Chloe's relationship with Rachel and Max. Soooo... yeah!
But I seriously love this song. I'll probably edit to this song again and again until I die.
So this is for Tango/starstruckbromance, if you haven't heard of her you're missing out, man, her stuff is fire.
