EnglishRosie 2023-03-24 | HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LAURIN!
I hope you have an absolutely wonderful day of good vibes and good times before you get badgered into playing RE4 remake tomorrow. You are so bright and funny and it is a complete fuckin DELIGHT to know you!
[So naturally, I edited the most miserable thing for your birthday, soz]
Oh and I'm sorry that I saw Layne getting into Genshin and joined along and HEAVILY encouraged you to start playing by telling you about the neverending angst of Scaramouche, that's my bad

I was going to do an Aerith video but I switched tack and decided to edit with the most miserable puppet boy, the Scrungle, the Mouche, etc, etc.
There are already a LOT of Scaramouche (and by proxy, Raiden Shogun / Raiden Ei) edits to this song, I imagine, as the lyrics are pretty neatly aligned with him.

youtube.com/watch?v=rf_HKk0ourc GarleanEmpire also has a GORGEOUS FFXIV edit to this song!

EnglishRosie 2022-08-25 | no spoilers beyond 6.0 here! (I haven't started 6.2 MSQ and won't see it until this weekend)

so @Blue24601 is an angel because she slogged through new game plus for forever just to get me THE PUNCH SCENE (along with the rest of the footage here where she is endlessly patient with me)

my brainrot continues - I actually had a mockup for this video back in like. december where I was considering doing a reincarnation gone wrong kind of approach to zenosfucking (where he was a hot Ancient woman called Patroclus pre-Sundering) before the uh. descent into it being a thing in canon happened.

as a little background context, my OC Astra was forced to murder her tempered mother when she was a teenager... and she's part of a multi-wol verse where she's vibing as a WoL who is not Azem. the rest of the gang are VERY BRIEFLY here because I am bad at including them :'(((

EnglishRosie 2022-07-11 | this is an EXTREMELY EXTREMELY very belated birthday present for Blue (oof it has literally been 3 months). I started a couple attempts that all kind of flopped on their face but I managed to finish something even if it's a bit simple!

ardbert/wol, and by wol I mean her delightful babe Azena who has the heart of an angel and the scream of an enraged child.

[MAJOR ENDWALKER SPOILERS]
like literally up to the very ending don't ruin it for yourself!

So Endwalker gave me brainrot. Literally. I have not managed to edit much other than for Tango's birthday in a long long while. I'm just a sucker for a parallel and FFXIV lets me do a LOT OF PARALLELS. She's popped up in some of Amy's videos but the blue-haired beech is my FFXIV OC, Astra, who is an Ala Mhigan with some major trauma and a hair-trigger temper.

Major major major thank you to Amy (Blue24601) for undertaking the agonizing process of recording cutscenes for me and drunkenly gposing to get the scenes I wanted.

EnglishRosie 2020-07-16 | Super late entry for Pokemon League's Pride event - this is like a... half sequel to no cause for concern I guess?

I threw this together because I'm just... wrecked about what happened to Naya Rivera, I guess. I was stuck on what song to use for this event since it was announced and I've cycled through a bunch without landing on anything, but I couldn't get this out of my head. It's not a traditionally LGBT+ themed song, but it was presented that way on Glee (which this cover is from).

It's easy to mock it now, but Glee had a massive, formative impact for me when I was a young teenager struggling to come to terms with who I was. Santana's confession to Brittany still tore me up every rewatch, and it'll probably tear me up all the more now that Naya's gone. Glee was messy, clunky and often clumsily insulted the demographics it wanted to represent - but when it got it right, it got it right, and being able to see a lesbian teenager navigate her attraction to her best friend and eventually find love and acceptance was probably one of the things that kept me alive through a lot of crap. Naya pushed for that representation, against Santana and Brittany sleeping together just being a joke, and I'll forever be grateful to her for that.

I don't really know what else to say? It's just two girls in love with each other, like 90% of the stuff I edit nowadays.

song: songbird - naya rivera (originally fleetwood mac)
colouring: astible by lean

hard to love.

EnglishRosie 2020-06-29 | This is for Pokemon League's thunder badge! The challenge is to focus on storytelling and out of the three prompts I had, I chose to attempt something horror-themed.

I used a couple of SexyShoopuf's greenscreens here to make my life a hell of a lot easier. (Basically, if it's Crisis Core over a FFVII remake background that's thanks to her).

So, naturally, I just ripped off Silent Hill 2, with all the knowledge of someone who hasn't watched Silent Hill 2 in like a decade. (I've never played it, I'm way too much of a wimp). Basic plot goes as follows:

Cloud gets a letter from Zack asking him to meet him in Silent Hill - only problem is, Zack died some time ago. Too curious to resist, Cloud decides to go check out the town but finds himself suffering awful headaches and blackouts the more time he spends there. He encounters what seems to be a malevolent spirit, but it disappears when he tries to attack it.

In another part of the town, he seems to spot Zack walking through the streets in the distance. Desperate to find out what's going on, he follows him - only for him to disappear and the spirit from before to appear in his place. As she approaches, Cloud is overwhelmed by memories - but memories of the time BEFORE Zack's death, which he had repressed, along with all memory of his friend Tifa. The spirit is just a manifestation of his guilt - because he, in a mako-induced stupor, killed both Tifa and Zack.

Aren't I CHEERY? That's about it, I think! I basically only made this because the idea of the chick from Fatal Frame being Tifa with the dark hair and flower motif got stuck in my head.

Song: Things Stay the Same - Halou

no cause for concern. [shuffle wars]

EnglishRosie 2020-06-18 | This is for Round 2 of Shuffle Wars. I've started... god knows how many versions of this with different songs or myths and ended up with this being the most coherent one. We all picked a couple themes, which were shuffled around and redistributed - my opponent for this round is Rai (youtube.com/channel/UCQYBTv5U0J1c7NISWl9CdBA) who is... like the SWEETEST most wonderful person I've ever talked to and she's a FANTASTIC editor who makes some brilliant shit and also runs Pokemon League, which got me back into editing??? Just. Wow. I love Rai.

My choice of themes was Greek Myth, Isolation, Fighting Fate and Found Family. I tried to incorporate all four and weave them together a bit but... idk how well that actually worked. Also, Hadestown continues to haunt me because I couldn't resist...

Greek Myth: This is a loose (gay) retelling of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Aerith is Orpheus, who makes a deal with Hades (Caius) to bring her beloved Eurydice (Lightning) back from the underworld. They have to walk out of the underworld together, but Aerith can't look back at Lightning or she'll doom her to be trapped there forever. She can't handle the pressure and, convinced she isn't following her, turns around to check. The myth usually ends here (other than a miserable, gristly death for Orpheus afterwards) but in order to include the other themes I expanded it! After losing Lightning, Aerith is approached by Balthier (Hermes, a god of many things, including travel) who gives her a second chance, letting her travel into the past to try the trial again, and inviting her to spend time with his adopted daughters (Pan and Autolycus/Vanille and Tifa) so she has a support system. While they're happy there, Caius still comes to claim Lightning. Aerith agrees to make the deal again and descends into the underworld, but this time she succeeds, saving Lightning and leading her back to the world above.

So, in summary:
Aerith - Orpheus
Lightning - Eurydice
Caius - Hades (god of the underworld)
Balthier - Hermes (god of trade, wealth, luck, fertility, animal husbandry, sleep, language, thieves, and travel. jesus christ hermes my dude leave some for the rest of us)
Tifa - Autolycus (hermes' successor)
Vanille - Pan (god of nature and flocks)
(Pan and Autolycus are originally Hermes' biological kids, two among a CROWD of sons, god he gets around).

Isolation: The fear of being alone is what drives Aerith's resolve to break. Turning to look at Lightning causes her to lose the only person she really had to hold dear, and she winds up as isolated as she feared until Balthier comes along with the opportunity to start...

Fighting Fate: Aerith's deal with Caius was doomed to fail. With Balthier's help, she goes back to right the wrong and challenges the path the Fates picked for her, but only because of her...

Found Family: Both Aerith and Lightning find a connection and solace with Tifa and Vanille. Though they're not related by blood, the girls grow to care about each other and knowing that she won't be alone even if she fails gives Aerith the strength to keep walking without looking back. She saves Lightning because she has that support system in play, even though she still has to undertake the trial alone.

I think that's about all I have to cover!

Song: Amsterdam - Coldplay

EnglishRosie 2020-05-31 | This is for Pokemon League! Check it out here: youtube.com/watch?v=2nS-1WNspfQ

This time around I'm tackling the Boulder badge, which involves editing to rock music! Rai assigned me this song as one of my choices so I decided to go for it. I used to avoid editing songs that were really super popular so unfortunately I don't have any Skillet videos from 2007 lurking around on my channel. It was super cool to get to revisit it, it's such a throwback!

I don't think I actually have all that much to say about this one! I tried to experiment a bit to make it more dynamic compared to just abusing plain fade transitions like I usually do.

mep collection iii

EnglishRosie 2020-05-19 | Slight gore warning for 2:10-2:17, since it's Corpse Party. It's not too extreme, just imagine Yoshiki is eating a really stringy steak if it makes you feel any better about it. I also went all fancy editing in the OG Japanese dialogue which is very explicit but now I can't READ IT SO....... lesson learned about making notes about what the hell the dialogue was you were copying.

Some of these are REALLY old. Like before-I-stopped-editing-for-a-while old. But they were gathering dust on my hard drive so I thought I'd tack them on even though I don't have links for some of the MEPs they're for anymore! Any that I do have the full MEP available for are in my MEPs playlist, at least.

As a hint for when they get old, the colouring starts looking kind of... dusty I guess? The Homestuck part is so old that most of those CMVs legitimately aren't on Youtube anymore, whoops....

tame your demons. [shuffle wars]

EnglishRosie 2020-04-30 | There are SLIGHT VII Remake spoilers in this. If you don't want to see absolutely ANYTHING from the game, then don't watch this! There is nothing in this video that actually spoils anything distinctive, though, it's just at most clips of Cloud that are from the exact same scenes as the trailers, ripped from context. I promise nothing here is REMOTELY a spoiler if you've watched the trailers.

I'm boo boo the fool and thought that this had to be in by midnight my time, not midnight PST, but if I go back into fiddling with it I'll never stop. The song cut isn't the BEST, but I'm deaf in one ear right now and didn't realise it sounded that bad until I rendered it. OH WELL!

This is for round 1 of shuffle wars. The modded Stella clips belong to France (youtube.com/channel/UCENzZVcCHSNIU94BNotns0A) and the colouring is Tango's! (youtube.com/user/starstruckbromance).

Super simple plot (because of course I have a plot lmao I am nothing if not PREDICTABLE): Stella is Sephiroth. Discovers Jenova at a young age. Eventually burns down Nibelheim while there on a mission with Cloud. That about sums it up.

come home with me. [happy birthday, blue!]

EnglishRosie 2020-04-07 | It's Blue's birthday! What do you know! I actually edited something public for it this year!

After some time spent tormenting her with Hadestown angst, I resisted the urge to edit one of the tragic songs (which was VERY big of me, it's low hanging fruit).

But we've both fallen into a Hadestown hole lately! It's an adaptation of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, and it SLAPS. Like the whole cast recording is brilliant.

So here Zack is Orpheus (because himbo energy), Leanne is Eurydice, Auron is Hermes (who looks after Orpheus as his charge) - and the brief glimpses of Regis and Agni are Hades and Persephone.

Blue -

So you're like. The ultimate friend. You bring so much happiness into my life and you've put up with me talking your ear off for nearly every day of the 10+ years we've known each other. That takes some patience! You are incredibly lovely, talented and I'm so, so happy to know you. You're the BADDEST BICTH and I love you to pieces. Thank you for picking up an annoying baby way back when Psychic first started. If I wasn't dirt poor and, you know, all the flights weren't grounded right now, I'd be racing over to bug you in person. But ONE DAY! One day we'll manage it!

I know the flower in the show is a carnation not a rose but shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

For the Soul Badge, we were meant to focus on emotion. Out of my 3 prompts, I picked "happy ending" - which is EXTREMELY uncharacteristic of me and actually proved to be a lot more difficult than I thought! So for this, the emotion I tried to cover was having hope (ironically, since he's in it) - Lightning always had hope that she and Luna would see Cocoon together, and she has to have hope that their attempt to resurrect her will work - and against all the odds it actually works out.

This is a sequel to the first video I did for Pokemon League - you can find that here: youtube.com/watch?v=TPbue0pc_Js

Tango already did the whole Luna-as-android thing in one of her scrapped previews, so here's a link to see that!: youtube.com/watch?v=k1DJ7eQ4c3g

The ending is a little rushed because tbh I ran out of clips where Luna didn't look miserable lmao

sing like you just might drown. [IC]

EnglishRosie 2020-03-28 | Aghhhh the final cut of the song is... not the best, lmao, but I ran out of Alyssa clips entirely and was facing another 15+ seconds of chorus.

This is an AU and has a PLOT because I, Boo Boo the Fool, like to make things complicated and I will NEVER CHANGE.

Alyssa gets roped into the group during XIII's canon plot, after watching her friend Nena Stein die during the Purge. (Luna/Stella, since XIII-2 never has Nena appear in-game). She splits off with Vanille when the group go their separate ways after Lake Bresha/The Vile Peaks, but eventually finds out Vanille's identity and resentment builds.

Or something dramatic like that. Idk. I just love this song, man.

EnglishRosie 2020-03-15 | This is for Pokemon League's #burninglove event! Unlike icy regret, where we could do any NOTP of ours, for burning love we had to pick someone else's OTP to edit to. I wanted to do one of the crossover pairings on the list, so I went for Yuna/Serah in the end!

France also edited Yuna/Serah for this event, so check that out here: youtube.com/watch?v=hJQP17YuWE0

Okay so I realised I'm like. Stupidly bad at editing happy endings, lmao. This has a bittersweet ending and they love each other very much??? So it's a start???

Plot-wise: Yuna is possessed by Etro during prayer. Her fiancee Serah and brother Noel find her spirit in the Farplane, and she tells them she can't pass on while Etro is possessing her body. Serah decides to destroy Etro, without leaving Noel with his sister's blood on his hands. She can't bear leaving Yuna all alone to pass on, so she joins her - and they enter the lifestream together, where they'll never be separated again.

This COULD have been a successor to the past lives video, but then I added Noel in and goofed that all up. It's a spiritual successor, I guess.

right where I want you to be. [hope/bhunivelze]

EnglishRosie 2020-03-01 | This is for The Pokemon League's special event Burning Love/Icy Regret. Was for Valentines, now it's for White Day which is a godsend for me since I took ageeeees to start my projects. This is for the #icyregret portion of the event - basically, we had to edit to a NOTP of ours.

After a lot of switching around I went for Hope/Bhunivelze in the end, trying to interpret some of the 169 goddamn years Hope spent in his clutches before LR as well as some of the "rose coloured phantom" driving him mad stuff from the novels. Oh and Hope killing someone who looked like Lightning ISN'T in the rose-coloured phantom tale, but I thought it was kind of a fitting end and might have been a way to break him? This is a... Hope giving in and willingly letting Bhunivelze take over in the end, but it should probably be SLIGHTLY clear why this isn't a pairing that ranks high healthiness-wise.

Hopefully you guys enjoy it! It was cool to edit with text that isn't super dramatic dialogue, and kind of refreshing to NOT be editing a heavily AU video!

blood in the cut. [death undone]

EnglishRosie 2020-02-24 | Because I'm an obnoxious overachiever, this is a backup character audition for Death Undone. Just to like... throw another concept/character out there to give Blue some options.

You can find the audition video/concept video here: youtube.com/watch?v=m-YhiycpjSY

Noel Kreiss is a legend in his home city of Nikeah. In the heart of Karnak, he consistently comes out on top in fighting tournaments. Despite his mother Arecia running the tournaments, including the annual celebration for the Feast of the Bride, there is no nepotism at play here; Noel wins on his own merit.

Unfortunately, the adoration of his peers and his name being known across his home country has gone to his head. Noel thinks he's god's gift, essentially, and is fixated on his fame spreading to the rest of the continent. He's convinced he is above the tournaments and wants to take things further, demanding his mother try to petition their leaders to arrange matches that cover other countries too. She isn't so easily swayed, and his father Auron doesn't believe that Noel is as strong as he thinks - he still can't beat him in a fair fight, after all.

Auron makes it clear that unless Noel can best him, the tournaments and Noel aren't leaving Karnak. Noel tries multiple times, but fails. When the Feast of the Bride comes around, he walks out of the arena after finishing the title match, feeling oddly uneasy, and Auron follows him out.

When a ghost appears before them, while Noel is still worn out from hours of rising through the tournament ranks, Auron orders him to run and assist with evacuating the arena. For once, Noel does as he's told. And likely wishes he hadn't, because that ghost kills Auron.

With him dead, Noel can't beat his father to prove he's worthy - but he can do something else. Hell, he knows he'll probably have this dumb ghost problem fixed with no trouble at all, and then his mother HAS to petition for more varied tournaments, right?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I knowww the story is all in the description, but when I tried to add dialogue it went by far too quickly to really be legible! Noel's just an example of a spare character I have lying around for this thing, because I'm THAT much of a nerd.

Also you can literally see my graphics card trying not to cry with the ending transition...

Song: Blood in the Cut - K.Flay
Colouring: Lean

feet in the fire. [death undone]

EnglishRosie 2020-02-17 | Is... literally anyone surprised that I'm auditioning for Death Undone. Literally anyone.
You can find the audition video/concept video here: youtube.com/watch?v=m-YhiycpjSY

So, I'm auditioning with Lightning.

She's a no-nonsense soldier who enlisted into the Palamecian military in an attempt to gain citizenship. Her enlistment forms were pretty devoid of information - she refused to give her surname and wouldn't get any more specific than listing her home country as Karnak. Those arranging the draft assumed she was running from something, but she never let it show. She slotted in with the troops fairly easily, despite being foreign - kept her head down and worked hard.

Two years into the three required to earn citizenship, she is informed that one of Palamecia's royal family has picked her out to be part of the royal guard. She had her heart set on the special forces and is shocked that she is being given what's seen as an honour so early, but she can hardly turn down the opportunity.

She meets Vanille, who is... not quite what she was expecting from a princess. After some doubt over her promotion, she settles into her new position and gets to know her charge over the next few months. She's wary of getting close to her but falls into enough familiarity to at least stop calling her Your Highness and hiding her exasperated sighs when she acts out. When Vanille demands to go to the Feast of the Bride, Lightning seems uncomfortable with attending but she eventually wears her down.

At the festival, all hell breaks loose. Ghosts run rampant. In all the chaos, Lightning freezes.

And then, when reunited with Vanille, denies anything happened. She is convinced that the ghosts are some sort of deranged prank from a rogue mage. She doesn't believe they're real. Paranoid and in denial, she won't even consider the possibility.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This has all been discussed with Blue (who's playing Vanille) beforehand - I'm not just pulling new bits of lore (like the citizenship stuff) out of nowhere at random!

past lives. [rfi]

EnglishRosie 2020-02-14 | For CapnRaye's Roll For Initiative challenge. It's all about creating new stories through editing - so a good excuse for me to force myself to branch out with AUs and crossovers again.

My first challenge was to use the theme of rebirth and to incorporate the prompts "I didn’t meet them until the day they died" and "don't leave without telling me" somewhere in the plot. They're actually used during the video itself!

Plot:
A pair of soulmates are reborn every generation following a deal one of them made with the god of time, Cronos. They are able to recognise each other immediately when they meet, but it's finding each other in the first place that's tricky - and how long they have left. Each time they encounter one another, one has a vision of when the other will die. They know exactly how much time they'll have together.

When Noel and Zack finally meet, Noel is shown a vision of Zack dying that same day. With their last incarnations (Aya and Rem) also having had their time together cut short, they struggle with knowing how little time they have left. When Zack does die (which they both know is unavoidable), a grieving Noel confronts Cronos, demanding better for them both. Instead of waiting out the rest of his natural lifespan, he asks to die quickly so that they can start the next cycle.

Cronos grants that wish.

The pair finally meet again as Serah and Yuna. They're relieved to see each other, hoping that this cycle is kinder to them than the last. Serah gets the vision of the future.

.
.
.
AND WHO KNOWS HOW LONG THEY HAVE? Aren't I cruel?
The due date for this is tomorrow, so I'm kind of unintentionally uploading the most miserable video possible on Valentine's. It has a potentially-happy ending, at least?

Song: Elephants - Rachael Yamagata

heart made of glass.

EnglishRosie 2020-02-08 | So I'm kind of late to the party joining in with the Pokemon League stuff, but it's a really fun way to challenge yourself a bit!
Check it out here:

This is for the Cascade badge, so the focus is meant to be on flow, and I chose the option of editing to a Billie Eilish song.

There wasn't a requirement for plot, but like... it's ME... so enjoy some absolutely miserable gay girls.

Lightning and Luna are childhood friends - Luna was picked out to be a summoner when they were young, and has been waiting to be called on to summon a god since. Cocoon floats in the sky above their home, a glittering promise of a new life far away from her responsibilities, but Luna refuses to run away despite Light trying to convince her for years.

When the day comes to summon Leviathan, Luna realises she isn't strong enough to contain the god and loses control of it. Her last act is to turn Lightning to crystal, protecting her from the fallout of Leviathan's floods and giving her a chance to maybe one day wake up and see Cocoon, even if it's without her.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay so hi, it's been a while, huh? I've been editing VERY sparingly in the background, but I haven't finished anything and nothing has been uploaded publically in 3 years, so this is a big step even just uploading something!

whered you go? [Life is Strange AU]

EnglishRosie 2016-02-27 | So! This isn't something I'm all that proud of, but it's been sitting in Sony Vegas for weeks and I might as well upload what I've done.

I know the quality is pretty crap on some of the clips, but I can't use torrents easily here in the UK and my old Glee clips had to be converted to mp4 to work on my new laptop.

So yeah, it's a live action Life is Strange thing? Chloe is Dianna Agron and Rachel's Willa Fitzgerald. Masking all that hair took quite a while.

watching, waiting, aching.

EnglishRosie 2016-01-07 | so, it's been a while!

I know it's only an MEP part, but I thought I should probably upload SOMETHING since I've gone a month or two without editing. Busy with uni work and mental health and whatnot.

Full thing should hopefully be up soon!

I loved her so much. [Life is Strange]

EnglishRosie 2015-07-29 | MAJOR SPOILERS FOR LIFE IS STRANGE EPISODE 4. PLEASE DON'T WATCH THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED.

I cried like a baby multiple times while playing through this episode. That about covers it.

foolish, fragile spine.

EnglishRosie 2015-07-06 | “So full of artless jealousy is guilt,
It spills itself in fearing to be spilt.”

Oh, right, thats cool.

EnglishRosie 2015-07-01 | ...

Too Proud;

EnglishRosie 2013-10-04 | "Oh baby, your time is running out."

Short and not-all-that-sweet Squall/Zephyr thingymajig I threw together a bit. It was meant to be fluff, but it quickly deteriorated into angst and death. Whoops.

Breaking Ice [Psychic Redux]

EnglishRosie 2013-06-28 | "Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all that claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think every thing you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told to want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned."

In short: Riku meets Namine first because he's a hot piece of ass and she wants the d and so decides to arrange to meet him in the city. They talk in a badly masked alley, and then head back to her place. They talk a lot for no reason, bonding and shit, while Lulu is pattering around finding Snow. Nami then gives Riku a really vague shitty "go to this place because I've had a vision that you should be there", and he heads off.

Tooooooooo be continued in Part 2 for this Chapter!

Choking on Their Halos; [Final Fantasy XV]

EnglishRosie 2013-06-11 | "An act of love by the last king."

Thrown together really quickly in about an hour and a half, so don't set your expectations too high.

I was so excited about this last night it was embarrassing. I mean, genuinely shaking I was so excited.

Pillars of Salt. [Happy Birthday, Blue!]

EnglishRosie 2013-04-07 | "The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them."

I'm sorry it's so short! ;A; It's kind of barely shippy and badly characterised but I had a stab at something serious. As much as I adore Tay-Tay Swizzle, Blue, editing to her is really difficult!

Soooooo, yeah. I don't really know what to say here.

Basic story is that Zack is part of a resistancy thing with Auron and Leanne joins, but he's bitter and grumpy with her once he finds out that she's only fighting to try and regain the throne, let alone that she ordered the destruction of his hometown.
But apparently chemistry wins out, or something.
It IS the law of the universe that they end up together.

Waves [Psychic Redux Audition]

EnglishRosie 2013-03-29 | "I never felt the urge to jump off a bridge, but there are times I have wanted to jump out of my life, out of my skin."
-David Levithan

The language used in the video is Urdu- and is not what the lyrics are saying at all, because Sigur Ros don't work in translatable lyrics. Just in case anyone watching this can read/understand Urdu and calls me out on it. Some of these masks nearly killed me, I'm so lazy at masking. :S

I don't think anyone thought that I WASN'T going to go back into Psychic, really. Riku as a character is probably pretty similar to what I was going for when it all started YEARS ago; thought I'd link to the original audition thing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1sjntO_Du0

Riku lives in the outskirts of the city, and is the son of the head of police/security within the districts of the city. Yaag is a step down from the Hunters- the police uphold the law up until psychics are concerned, where the Hunters tend to be called in to deal with the problem. He has an older brother, Zexion (20 to Riku's 17), who passed the test to join the Hunters when he was still a teenager, and moved out to work for them two years prior to Psychic Redux's beginning. Riku's psychic abilities emerged when he was four years old, and have caused tension amongst the family since his childhood, although they all keep it a secret because others discovering the truth would ruin Yaag's career. He can't stand Riku, and while Nora (their mother) tries to play peacemaker, there isn't really all THAT much she can do to help him. She borders on alcoholic, and even though Yaag is rarely home (work keeps him away) and Zexion isn't around, Riku tends to wander off for long periods of time without much warning. Still enrolled in school, his attendance is appalling, and his grades suffering as he barely pays attention when he does actually bother to turn up.

He tends to draw the attention of the Hunters, as he sometimes loses control of his powers and causes distortions and illusions unintentionally. Riku's developed his ability to use illusions- basically messing with people's heads- but has hardly refined them. He's a decent fighter, and often relies on illusion in combat, but can be headstrong and get carried away. He also travels out to the shore (we're saying it's a city near the sea, kay), which is his favourite place to take a breather and relax. When calming down there after a fight with a Hunter that he didn't intentionally provoke for once, he finds Nami's letter.

Hide Your Face;

EnglishRosie 2013-03-20 | "With kindness comes naïveté. Courage becomes foolhardiness. And dedication has no reward."

(quickly becoming the queen of the cliche dramatic quote opening a description thing, god, sorry, I just like it)

MEP part! Figured I might as well upload it, since other parts have been put up and I never upload anything nowadays, which sucks cause I do still edit quite a lot, I just never finish anything! ;A;

So because I'm unimaginative, Noel and Zack are magical girls.
(Well, Puella Magi Madoka Magica magical girls).
There are actually like major spoilers for the series in this my god it's so hard not to spoil parts of it.

PMMM spoilers oh god DAMN it:
Noel's soul gem ends up tainted because he keeps giving grief seeds to others instead of using them to deal with his own problems. He hides this fact from Zack, and then when he admits what a bad position he's in Zack reacts angrily, which pushes Noel over the brink into despair. Noel's soul gem corrupts completely, transforming into a grief seed, and turning him into a witch (/warlock, I like witch better why do we need separate names depending on gender)- which Zack then defeats.
Kind of a hope spot at the end, I guess, since once he kills the witch he picks up Noel's soul gem rather than a grief seed? Although Noel's body's destroyed, so I don't know what he'd do there.

Bahhhh.

Sleeping in Your Chest [Psychic]

EnglishRosie 2013-03-18 | "Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not."

Pre-reboot stuff that I never uploaded because my Vegas was being a butthole.
Some of it's really badly done, I'm sorry.
Riku and Zexion character-y focus thing.
Um.
I don't really have much to say.
Sorry about the shitty quality, I couldn't get this to render otherwise!

Stand So Tall [Just the Way Im Supposed To Be];

EnglishRosie 2013-02-14 | Shipping Wars final round and stuff, I guess. Way within the limits- worryingly shorter than everyone else's so far this round, guess I kind of copped out a little.

Cut of the song is deliberately abrupt- it ends in the middle of the line because something awful happens to them, things get cut short.

I kind of tried to show a little of how I thought their relationship dynamic would work (Zack's cheery personality contrasting with Noct's shy, a little-bit-sarky one) before quickly descending into angst. Ended up going for a sort of basic "Zack is a soldier in Noct's army" plot that seems to be a cliche whenever Zack's paired with a character who's supposedly royalty/of a higher class.

And uh the happily ever after would probably be neither of them ending up dead and escaping whatever horrible situation I put them in to go live somewhere secluded in the country and so on. Boring, I know.

Suburban War; [The World Ends With You]

EnglishRosie 2013-01-03 | "Sometimes I can't believe it, I'm moving past the feeling again."

TWEWY is pretty much my favourite game in the world. Ever.
It's fucking awesome, and I forgot the extent of its awesomeness up until I started playing it again. I lost my DS a couple years ago now, but I downloaded the Solo Remix version everyone was complaining about the release of (including me, I was SO goddamn excited for a sequel and then they dumped a port on us) and it's been like a huge nostalgia fest.

It's just so COOL. It's got style, it knows what it's doing, the gameplay is fantastic (especially on the DS, although it still works almost as well on the iPhone), the soundtrack couldn't be any weirder but any better (seriously, you jump from bubblegum J-Pop to dramatic tension music to DEATH HARDCORE RAP METAL in a matter of seconds), and the storyline is a-may-zing. It's surprisingly substantial for a relatively short game, and it gives you a lot to think about and there's loads of stuff you have to play it through repeatedly to catch on to. When replaying it (bearing in mind I had 100% completion for everything on the DS version), there were sections of story that I'd not forgotten about, but had glanced over (like Shiki and Eri) beforehand, and the playing through it again just reminded me of all the reactions I'd had before when the plot twists had caught me out- because the story was unusual in that it completely fucked you over SEVERAL times and kept you guessing until the end- even AFTER the end, considering how much debate there is over what "7 days later" means!

Anyway. There are a ton of spoilers in here, although the game IS hardly a new release. Enough gushing from me, I promise.

The song is "The Suburbs" by Arcade Fire, covered by Mr. Little Blue Jeans.

Two uploads in one week, wow, what the hell am I doing?

Darling, stay. [Shipping Wars]

EnglishRosie 2013-01-01 | Bahhhhhhhh I'm an arsehole and I'm late for shipping wars again gahhhhhhhh

Some idiot went and got a job right before her huge important final exams and hasn't really spent much time editing anything remotely productive this past month.

Right. Anyway. The theme was meant to be obsession, so I kind of ended up panicking and going for the ever-so-cliche "no one else can have you if I can't" kind of obsession. But it's kind of... less of romantic interest and more of protectiveness gone wrong? Like, it didn't really start with romantic feelings or jealous feelings, it just turned out that way because Zack wanted to have Noctis completely to himself in every way?

Story is really muddled and confusing because I edited this in a half-confused blur; basically, Noctis is some mafia boss' son (hello plot of Versus XIII, I'm sliding off into you here) and Zack is his -very- dedicated bodyguard who gradually turns possessive over him. Whether it's just a general fixated fascination or lust or romantic interest or whatever is up to interpretation, but Zack tries to dominate every moment of Noct's existence, even to the point where when he has to stand by while Noctis interacts with his own fucking sister he can't take it and gets twitchy. Aerith accidentally catches Zack forcing a kiss on Noct at some point, and when she asks him about it he insists he's fine and that it was nothing and even that he didn't mind, it didn't hurt, etc. She still remains worried.

Because it's a magical world and I say so, and because they do horrible shit, the Caelum family have a few skeletons under the floorboards, and a cursed/possessed portrait (to go with that whole theme of possession and obsession and so on) which feeds energy off strong emotion. Zack's overwhelming obsession and jealousy cause the spirit to latch onto him, and eventually it's able to manifest and try to get rid of Noct, since he's the spitting image of his father or something and that pisses her off.

Instead of protecting him, Zack taunts Noct, finally stripping off the nice friendly guy act he keeps up most of the time to be the little shit he really is. Noct is understandably horrified, and the ghost dead spirit portraity thing instructs Zack to go off and do what he wants while she makes Noct pay for not... returning his psycho weird feelings. So Zack runs off and goes to get rid of Aerith, who he's convinced himself is the reason Noct is reluctant to be with him (and not that he's a complete weirdo), but when he goes to attack her, she panics and shoots him in self defense.

He collapses, and dies, and the spirit returns to him to cradle his dying body, because his anger and frustration and lust and crap was her anchor to be able to take proper form and that. And she says "darling, you fucked up", since he's doomed them both. Yipee. Cheery.

I'm sorry about the language.

BONUS QUESTION:
1. They're both gorgeous as fuck. That's the shallow one.
2. From what little we've seen of Noct's personality (from trailers and Nomura interviews and stuff), he's just about the polar opposite of Zack, really. Shy and reserved and adorkable, with a frosty outer shell- and I think that would create a really interesting dynamic with Zack, since they'd balance each other out and encourage different traits in one another.
3. Given that Zack dies a brutal gory death and Noctis is from a game based on HAMLET, I think it's safe to say there could be buckets of glorious angst.
3b. They're also very pretty.

Breaking the Rules [To Continue]

EnglishRosie 2012-11-21 | This was meant to be for Shipping Wars, but I get that it's probably too late to count. My laptop broke, not sure why, blah blah, thought I'd lost everything but we recovered the hard drive, and bam! Here's my Noctis/Zack angsty 'Seperation' themed thing.

It also has a story. Whoops.

Zack and Noctis are together and happy- despite Noctis being in a position of power within the aristocracy/monarchy, little fuss is raised about him and Zack being an item. Etro, goddess of death and all that, repeatedly tries to tempt Noct into making a deal with her since she evidently fancies the idea of having a ~prince~ doing her bidding, but Zack is adamant that Noct stays away from her, no matter what happens.

A war breaks out, and even though Noctis manages to avoid Zack having to be conscripted/drafted for it, Zack rebels since he doesn't want to sit around feeling useless and runs off to try and fight. Trying to follow him, Noct gets there too late, and finds his dead body, understandably breaking down.

However, while mourning, he decides he can't watch him be buried, and goes and gives in to Etro in exchange for Zack's life- binding them both to Etro. For a while, he tries to keep poor Zack oblivious as to what's happened, pretending nothing has changed- but struggles to outright lie to him, which is what catches him out, as well as the fact that he's behaving oddly without meaning to and refusing to let him out in public . So when Zack jokes about Etro... he doesn't respond, leading Zack to come to the horrified realisation that the dreams he's had about dying and Etro all happened, were all real.

Zack snaps at him and leaves, but finds out pretty fast that his death and resurrection are big news, and a lot of people, convinced it's unnatural, want him dead. Cornered by soldiers, he picks up his sword and tries to fight them off. Eventually, Noct realises that Zack must be in trouble, and he dashes off to try and help. By the time he gets there, there are only a few soldiers left, but his arrival distracts Zack and they manage to hold him down.

Noctis lets the heart of Etro take over, and slaughters them with minimal effort. When Zack shouts at him for being an idiot and taking on that sort of power for selfish reasons, for a moment he moves as if to attack him, causing him to back off. Noct resists enough to not harm Zack, but the strain causes him to pass out.

When they return home, although he's guilty for abandoning him, Zack tells Noctis that he just can't stand to be with someone he can't trust, that they can't be together anymore. Sick of the lies, and hoping to escape his enslavement to Etro by getting out to fight elsewhere, with a few apologies he leaves as Noctis starts to regain consciousness, dazed and confused.

When Zack leaves, he doesn't wake up again until footsteps fall within that chamber again.

It isn't Zack. But the heart takes over, and even if he doesn't want to move, doesn't want to do anything, he stands up. He doesn't have a choice.

Bonus thingie don't know if it still counts:
My NOTP is Riku/Xion.
Simply because I can't see any grounding whatsoever for it. While I think Xion's character is flat and dull, there at least might be some inclination towards putting her with Roxas or Axel or Namine or someone who she spent time with. Even though Riku had a lot of cutscenes with her, he was either beating the shit out of her, or talking about getting Sora back. I just... couldn't see chemistry there at all, and to me it seems like people desperately trying to pair Riku off with a girl, because omfg ew the yaois...!

Anyway. Ahem.

All I Meant Was To Be Kind;

EnglishRosie 2012-09-21 | "Call all your friends, and tell them I'm never coming back."

Unfinished project/beta/MEP part dumping ground. Longer than I thought it would be.
Some I might pick up again, but a lot of them are done for. They range from the most recent (about a month ago) at the start, down to the oldest (by far) at the end. So the longer you get into the video, the lower the chances that the beta you see will ever be picked up and worked on again, let alone finished.

Quite a lot of the MEP/collab parts aren't actually out elsewhere on Youtube, since either they got dropped, or I got kicked out. Which was, you know, a nice thing for people to do, considering I was clearly working on things and might, shock horror, have been off dealing with something instead of checking my inbox every single day.

Eh. Whatever. Most of these are kind of crappy, although I like some of them a little bit.
Please excuse glitches, subtitles not cut out, etc- a lot of them are WIPs.

I Dont Want To Wake Up;

EnglishRosie 2012-08-05 | I know, I know, I haven't uploaded anything in an age, and this isn't anything special enough to warrant much attention.

It was going to be my last week of RE, but it kind of failed since I missed the deadline entirely. As in, a week AFTER it closed I proudly announced to Blue that I had a "WHOLE HALF A MINUTE". Oops. That's why the songs switch- I was going to have the first like fourty seconds be the original, and then the rest of the video the cover, but I didn't get anything really edited before this or after other than a REALLY tricky mask that took me hours... only for it to be utterly invalidated. Because, you see, I spent ages masking Serah to sit on the Etro crystal throne thing... only for the Lightning DLC to be released literally THE NEXT DAY, where she spends ages sitting on the damn thing.

Plot wise, before the video started, Noct appeared because he likes to do that, and tries to kill Serah because she's kind of a bitch and he can't let a grudge go. He fails, naturally, since the douche LEAVES HIS PARTNER BEHIND to do it, but as Serah's teasing him and about to kill him, ~someone~ knocks her out from behind and rescues Noct.

She's then dumped on the throne until she wakes up, where Hope finds her. Since brothers are apparently pretty alike, he tries to sneak up and kill her in her sleep, but Yeul, a reaper, is around, so he holds off. But that ends up getting him slaughtered. Cheery, yup yup!

The song is 'Sleep', first by The Smiths, and then covered by Emily Browning.

Oh, and sorry it cuts off at the end. My rendering sucks and it didn't fade off like I thought it was going to.

So Predictable [5]

EnglishRosie 2012-04-16 | "But you'll take anything, won't you?"

Purely flashback this week, apart from the very end of the video- both this and week 4 end the same way, with Noct walking off. Guess you could see it as symbolic or metaphorical or some shit- the two of them never come to terms with one another, they keep going in circles and get stuck in the past. They keep lashing out at each other for the same reasons they did when they were younger- they're just as bad as each other, really, since Hope's a bigoted little shit even as an adult and Noctis would never recognise that part of the reason he was so estranged from his family was because he acted out and was equally horrible to them, forcing them away anyway.

Sooooooo have some little whiny Hope this week. [shrug]

See This Straight [4]

EnglishRosie 2012-04-01 | "Life's too short to even care at all."

Reaper's Edit, week 4. Not very good, I know. Big surprise.

Story wise, Hope is using Zidane's lack of knowledge about the game to his advantage, playing mentor so as to puff up his ego and his sense of self-importance. While fighting Noise, he's showing off so much that he doesn't notice a Reaper's nearby, causing all of it in the first place. He's struck down, and Zidane runs off to fight Cloud instead of bothering with all the Noise, which will only keep coming otherwise.

During the fight, another pair of Players jump in and lend Zidane a hand- Riku (because it's convenient) and Noctis, Hope's (now disowned) older brother. Cloud's pretty strong, naturally, being a Reaper, but three-on-one is a bit unfair regardless. He manages to beat Riku around a bit while Noctis is still running over, though, to his credit.

Hope comes around and drags himself over there, and isn't particularly pleased to see his brother helping to save his ass, but doesn't have that much time to dwell on that since Noct seems to get distracted and let his guard down. Cloud's attack misses him (since he's clearly a ninja) and he takes him down.

Then, Hope and Noctis are left alone for a bit to have some brotherly time. Hope still doesn't feel like being friendly, though, and just mocks him and laughs in his face. Noct tells him to grow the fuck up, and walks off.

Yeah. I know.
Hardly poetry this week.
Sorry.

Oh, the song is a mashup, by the way- between the Darren Criss (Glee) cover of Cough Syrup and Fix You. It's around on Youtube somewhere, I'm sure.

Morning Rain [3]

EnglishRosie 2012-03-17 | Um, this has been a major pain to get up, since Vegas/my laptop threw a hissy fit at the thought of rendering and now Youtube seems to be predicting 100 minutes upload time for a half-minute video- how charming!

I didn't mean to miss the last week, Priscy, but my messages didn't seem to get through at all- IIIII'm gonna blame Youtube for that one, as they're not even in my Sent box anymore. Dx

Basically, Hope is an egotistical little shit. Zidane is pretty overwhelmed and confused about the whole game business, and Hope takes that as an opportunity to partner him and behave like a complete smart-arse telling him how it all works and stuff.

Annnnnnnnnnd to fit in with the challenge for the week, the original song (Thank You) was released in 1999, and as a single in 2000. The opening part (from Stan by Eminem, which, yeah, is still Dido) is also from 2000, sooooooo... yeah. xDD I cut them together cause I happen to like the contrast.

And it probably gets cuts off at the end because my Vegas always renders weird.

Where She Belongs;

EnglishRosie 2012-02-24 | "There are disappointments which wring us, and there are those which inflict a wound whose mark we bear to our graves. Such are so keen that no future gratification of the same desire can ever obliterate them: they become registered as a permanent loss of happiness."
― Thomas Hardy, A Pair of Blue Eyes

See in Way Too Much Safety [1]

EnglishRosie 2012-02-14 | "So stay awake, and I'll stay
I try and go, but your game
It waits for me and you, love
So cover up for the rain."

I have to apologise for the atrocious quality of this video, since I threw it together in about two days, which I spent very little of actually editing. So, this is pretty slapdash and messy and crap.

Yeahhhh, Reaper's Edit, again. Sorry for everyone who doesn't follow/like it. Although I've at least switched characters. Okay, first, a huuuuuuuuge sorry to Priscy for sucking and not putting in ANYTHING about partners or a pact and stuff.

Basically, story wise, since RE is AU and I can get away with it, Hope is Noctis' younger brother. He's on his... fourth or fifth game, ish, maybe more than that. His first game didn't go well, since not only was he frustratingly young (as his entry fee was his age/appearence, since he values his pride and his status) but he was partnered with Alyssa, who turned rogue and attempted to sabotage other Players, but was caught. Hope, in all the trauma (because he's a snivelling weakling there) faints, and instead of erasing him the rescue squad sort of take pity on him, since he wasn't aware he was doing anything wrong, and he ends up working for them.

His entry fee doesn't change for all of that time, until he runs into his brother in the last game. Their parents didn't get along with Noct, and he left home after long while arguing and fighting, and since Noctis always lied, Hope assumes he's rogue and trying to ruin the game when he isn't. Biased as fuck, basically.

Serah takes over from the old Composer, and suddenly Hope is out of a job, no longer favouritised and lent a hand all the time- she doesn't want him around trying to suck up to her, and now he's just an ordinary Player. Before his death, Hope had just finished the training and become a lawyer, the type of well-payed, steady job his parents tried to bring him up to want. Unfortunately, Hope stood against the wrong person on one of his first cases, and was murdered. I think. I might change that later, who knows.

As for other things, it's 5 in the bloody morning and I need to pack, so I'll edit them in later.
