[collab] thats so us. || Happy Broversary! ♥ @cosmixsoup

cosmicsoul. It wouldn't be us if we weren't late with something!! (you could even say... that's so us, HA. haha....) So here we are, a day late with this little celebratory collab that we wanted to do for weeks but only planned out two days ago like the human disasters we are :)

I'm still close to bawling my eyes out over this actually, I love these two disaster homos so much and they will never hit the same again! awesome kinnie moment unlocked and it's probably here to stay because I am unstable like that ♥

Bro...... my lovely Hisoka kin...... my ace of hearts............. we already shared our lovemail on the actual anniversary, but I can never say enough how much I love you and how glad I am to be your friend, you funky little homosexual. I can't believe it's really been three years since you invaded my skype dms, it feels so much longer but also like no time at all?? Kinda like 2020 tbh, riiiip,,, Even so you mean the world to me... I will hold you gently in my arms while you nap (again)......

Everyone else, go look at his talented little self (if you haven't already and if you did then just go and look again), you won't regret it!!

[GMV] make us never happen.

cosmicsoul. 2023-08-18 | [spoilers for Dragon Quest XI if that's relevant for anyone?]

Look who I found at the toxic doomed yaoi poll!!

If you're wondering why I'm uploading twice in the span of one week after being dead for months, the answer is coping. I'm sorry to everyone who had to endure my brainrot in DMs, but I've been going through it severely these past few days and I was eager to channel it into an edit for once. It was NIGHTMARE to download the cutscenes, but I was determined enough to invest hours into trying and now here we are! They make me miserable :)

cosmicsoul. 2023-08-13 | Uploading? Me? Less likely than you think, but not impossible!

Hello I edited this in like four days because I wanted to. It's rare that I want to edit, especially a personal project so hurrah to that! This song just wouldn't leave my brain at all and I had to do something about it. It's not... amazing but it's also not bad? So I hope you like it too, because I definitely liked editing all my darlings at once! Enjoy this one person MEP because I promise I tried.

Ace and I did a little thing for you this year... I know how much you love this song, so I hope you enjoy us filling it up with many things you love! (it's almost bursting tbh, I'm sorry for squeezing in so much into so little audio-)

I know things are really tough for you lately, but I hope you know how much we love you and that this little gift can make your day a little better, angel... Thank you for being the best bean on the planet, what would I ever do without you ♥

Enough awkward wishes... Look at the birthday bean instead @xshelly

cosmicsoul. 2023-01-22 | Welcome back to me screaming. This is the only thing I'll be talking about for the unforeseeable future.

Honestly I can't even put into words how I'm feeling about the new Lantern Rite story trailer, I'm vibrating at high velocity. I need to play the event asap.

God. I love her so much... always have, always will. Hoyoverse you gotta make her playable after all this or I will be At Your Doorstep. I will save up for her all over again. I will whale for her constellations. Anything you want from me, I swear. She's so beautiful in this form and she's just so good and I love her so much ever since I met her in the Liyue main story. I would do anything for her, she makes me so happy and warm. I've been waiting for these crumbs for over a year (remember the Yelan leaks? I was already over the moon back then even if that made me the biggest clown ever in the aftermath lmao), but this? This is a full-course MEAL, I can't believe my eyes still wth.

save you from reality. || MEP Collection #24

cosmicsoul. 2022-12-07 | [CW for needles from 4:09 to 4:12]

Turn on CC for subtitles!

Sorry for only uploading once every three months, it will happen again. I do promise that I'm still active! A little. I would say me editing less at least means I'm putting more effort into each part, but that's not always true either... But life do be like that sometimes!

Just like every other time I write these I don't have much to say. Started my master studies, started a new mobile gacha game, life goes on as always. Project Sekai fixation go brr :)

Surprisingly this collection is more diverse in media than my previous one! Will it stay like that? Probably not knowing myself, I'll likely gravitate back to my silly little games sooner rather than later. I kinda already did with these last parts to be honest-

Anyway stay warm during the winter months everyone (unless it's not currently winter for you or the months are warm anyway). Man I do hate the cold though. I'd say my next upload will probably after winter with my current pace, but I'll probably drop a secret santa or two before that!

not thinking of you. || Rocketshipping Day 2022

cosmicsoul. 2022-08-20 | It's not a cosmicsoul upload if it's not at the edge of too late :)

But that's not important, what matters is that it's this time of the year again!! Unfortunately this isn't actually much of an edit... I simply extended one of the pride parts I did this year a little because the depression go brr and I couldn't bear to edit more than this. Even so, I couldn't stand to just let the day pass by without anything at all either... This day is my baby after all and I don't want it to become forgotten if I can help it. I crunched this out in a day, but I hope it is still good enough for this special occasion ♥

Tbh this originally being a pride part comes with its perks too! None of you are immune to my genderqueer James propaganda :)

[AMV] my weak side.

cosmicsoul. 2022-07-04 | (looks at the 50 things I have to do) ....have some chiakana angst?

Nothing quite like Mr.Kitty to feel miserable! The song choice might make this seem like a vent but it isn't? Not really? But it also is? Just not in the way it might appear with the perspective? Who knows, but it didn't start out as one! Either way this is pretty low effort as you can see but it was fun and it's been a while since I made an edit like this and I missed it a little. Honestly that's all I have to say about this other than I'm still alive I guess?

[GMV] the night is still young. || thank you A3EN

cosmicsoul. 2022-03-09 | comfort edit to cope :)))

I crunched this out in like four hours, please don't expect much sgshgksdhdhfd but I really got hit by the feels and I HAD to do something about it- tbh there were a lot of songs I had ideas for, but I went with this one because it always gives me a feeling of happiness and I really need that right now. I'm sad enough on my own, don't need to make it worse by editing angst, y'know?? But I still wanted to show how special this game is and the warm feelings it gives me and I hope I managed that despite everything.

To be fair, I already edited Mikrokosmos with a similar vibe before and that one was a lot... less messy, but I once again want to say how much I love this game. I'm so grateful Ace rambled about it to me and I got interested for whatever reason- It's been almost two years now... and I'm still here. I'm struggling now with the EN server closed because I'm bad at keeping up with translations, but a good chunk of that same happiness still remains just from looking at the new images. I love these characters so much and I'm devastated to see them gone (in the server I understood the language of). I put so much emotional labour, money and lack of sleep into that account and I don't regret it but it still hurts to know it will all be... gone in less than 24 hours. I will miss you, my precious cards. Thank you for the great two years together.

Fun fact!! Those little quotes I dropped are references to specific chapter titles of the respective troupe that really touched me~

Also this is once again dedicated to the madness chat and also to Limmie... we going thru it : )

ANYWAY!! Hello Jane~ We never really talked to each other before, but it was very fun to get you as my secret santa! You had so many great songs in your playlist and a lot of media I also love in your list that it was actually really hard to pick, but I hope you enjoyed what I ended up with. I had to interrogate Shelly on your A3 taste, because I was never aware of you liking it and that's a crime tbh?? But Sakuya is HUGE BRAIN taste, thank you for being so cultured (and I'm sorry but this secret santa could not possibly NOT be A3 if you know me at all). I'm aware that my video is more simple, but I felt like it suits the song a lot more than any fanart or fx editing would so I hope you feel the same way. I hope this holiday season has been relaxing for you and that you could spend time with all your loved ones ♥ Maybe my little gift brought a smile to your face too~

Happy broversary bro!! I wanted to make something for your edit in return because I'm never gonna give you up!! I know I already edited Be There for us, but I still want to upload something on this special day so I hope I'm not gonna let you down by giving something in return RETURN if that makes sense. I'm so thankful that we've been friend for uh... four years?? That's so much time, it's crazy! But even though it's been so long I would still never run around and desert you ♥ I hope that in all our upcoming time together from now on I'm never gonna make you cry... You are such an important person to me, you are my little bro after all!! So I'm never gonna say goodbye, you ain't getting rid of me :) And unlike you I'm never gonna tell a lie and actually keep my word when we agree not to do anything for the broversary.

ROCKETSHIPPING DAY 2021 WORM.

cosmicsoul. 2021-08-19 | Hello everyone!! I am once again back to present you the Rocketshipping... Day... Worm...? squints

Sadly the interest this year has hit a new low so it resulted in the project not even reaching one minute. I'm sorry for anyone who has been excited for more, but I hope you'll enjoy the two contributions regardless!

Even after all these years, Rocketshipping is still very precious to me and I think it will always have a part of my soul until the day I die. It makes me happy to share this love with others, to pay tribute to it with this project and to see others appreciate them as well, either through an edit or watching this ongoing project! I don't regret starting this day six years ago... wow. I've just been a baby with a big dream at the time and it brings me joy to see what that idea resulted in.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to Rocketshipping Day over the years, whether that be as editors, viewers or other forms of content creators on other websites. I'm glad I was able to share this with all of you.

That being said, I have decided that this will be the last time I will host the Rocketshipping Day Worm in this shape and form. I was concerned with the decline in interest that naturally happened over the years, but it has now hit a point where I am unable to make it work anymore. I love hosting this project, but I can't do it alone. This is not an accusation towards anyone who considered joining this year but didn't, not at all! I'm not mad at or blaming any of you, it has simply been the general lack of participation that has established itself by now.

None of that means that Rocketshipping Day itself will disappear. I will certainly continue to edit for it yearly and anyone is free to reach out to me if they would like to collab or have any other ideas! You can make your own edits for this day and tell me about them. I was thinking of creating a public playlist with all Rocketshipping Day content, so it stays easily accessible even when I'm not uploading it together anymore. If anyone wishes to attempt hosting this project themselves, feel free to do so and invite me! I just don't believe that the current way this is organised is sustainable any longer.

[GMV] eternal happiness tonight. || Amber Day ♥

cosmicsoul. 2021-08-10 | This is kinda bad but I'm on time and that's really what matters with my track record...

But the most important thing is wishing Amber a happy birthday!! You're so sweet and energetic and lovely and I would trust you with my life ♥ I never thought I would grow so attached to you (both play-style wise and in general), but when I was a baby player I hit a point where I was like "screw it, I want to learn how to aim a bow" and that was the beginning of the end. Being an Amber main isn't most people's goal, but by god, someone has to do it and I shall.

I love going pew pew with her so much and I wouldn't trade my level 90 Amber for any, and I truly mean ANY, 5* in the game if offered. She is in my pocket where she belongs for all the other players benching her :) I will not put this game down until she is as amazing as I can get her as a mostly f2p player. -squints at my artifacts drops-

So yeah, PLEASE wish her a happy birthday because she deserve it and so so much more.

[AMV] mikrokosmos. || A3!

cosmicsoul. 2021-07-25 | [contains CG spoilers up to Act 11]

I told myself I would do this and I actually did it. It didn't have to be almost a minute long but I guess I'm insane like that!! But all that aside... welcome to my love letter to this game I suppose?

As you can see in the video (maybe) it is my 500th log in day into A3!! And MEP parts be damned I wanted to do something for this occasion so here I am at an ungodly hour, uploading this after a full night crunch of editing. Who needs proper planning for your project when you can just pull a last minute all-nighter, am I right?

Either way, that's not what's important today. A3 is important. Very important to me actually, it's kind of stupid how much I love this game and these characters. It's definitely a comfort franchise to me and when I once called it my adult Pokemon (on a day where I was as sleep deprived as I am now), well... maybe there was something to that.

To be honest with you, I fall out of media so quickly,, No matter if it's a game or an anime or a movie, I either think about it for like a week or two months at most or I never get invested in it at all. So me playing something religiously for 500 days, even when some of those days are just mindless grinding and soul crushingly bad gacha pulls? That's a huge deal, especially with my track record.

I don't know why I got so invested in this, but here I am and I'm grateful for it. A3 was a lot of firsts for me... There are a lot of warm memories all over these characters for me, hours upon hours of shared brainrot with friends and even some painful memories... but I cherish them all. This might sound cheesy, but thank you A3 for giving me so much. I never expected it to be like this when I first downloaded the game... I'm more of an RPG or fantasy type of person after all and except for some play themes A3 is really neither of those things sdjghjsdkjgjskgd. But don't fix what's not broken and all that. A3 is my BELOVED and for as long as my brain lets me have this, I will treasure this fixation.

Uuuh this one also is for the A3 madness chat for always letting me scream if I need to (too many times really) and for wifey... we WILL watch the rest of the anime soon, you can't escape this ♥

Inspired by THOSE two A3 edits, you know which ones. It's obvious.

[AMV] may the lilies bloom for me. || Happy Birthday Wifey! ♥

cosmicsoul. 2021-07-04 | It took quite a bit longer than I expected, but I finished at long last…

I CAN OFFICIALLY SAY IT AGAIN! Happy birthday wifey!! ♥ Or well, late birthday, but I tried my best. I hope the sheer length of this can make up for… everything else tbh, but I had so much fun making this for you. You deserve all the nice things in the world and if I can help give you some of them then that’s all I could want. I know you don’t really agree, but that’s how I see it! You are my one and only wifey after all~

I hope you like this last minute edit despite its flaws, especially the song :blurryeyes: I gotta admit my original idea was something else with a song I’m not even sure you heard before so I decided against it in the end afhafgafajshd. Maybe one day…

(why is reimugi so hard to edit help-)

this is who I am for anyone that cares. || Pride Collection

cosmicsoul. 2021-06-30 | HELLO FELLOW GAYS AND CISN'T, I FINALLY MANAGED TO POST ONE OF THESE. I wanted to upload a pride collection for years, but it just never lined up with my uploading schedule (read: me collecting parts until I hit an unjustifiable number). Well, this time I took extra care it worked out!! It's sadly not the longest thing ever because I was dying this month but hey, it's something. At least I wasn't dying over pride parts (for the most part).

As always I tried to go for some variety and for labels that I personally connect to more or less, but not for every part this time. That's alright though, solidarity is everything!! And I think I still managed to be varied anyway, so it's a win in my book.

Stay winning people, pride month may be over but you'll always shine brightly!

[AMV] stuck with me. || Happy Birthday Maou! ♥

cosmicsoul. 2021-06-18 | I apologise in advance for the SEVERE drop in quality, my body decided it was a great time to shut down last night so I overslept completely and ran out of time... But hey at least Izuleo look good...?

Anyway that's not what truly matters! The important part is Maou Day so... happy Maou Day!!! Or happy birthday Maou as normal people would say. I hope you had a lovely, stress-free (!!) day with lots of lovely presents and great food and blessed gacha rolls! You are honestly such a kind and funny person and such a talented editor and I miss our same soul days... Thank you for being such an important friend to me, I hope your days are filled with nothing but happiness even if I'm just a rare occurrence in them anymore ♥

I know we don't get the chance to really talk anymore, but I still wanted to make something for you because you always did for me! (Don't worry about being too busy this year, you're too sweet for keeping this up at all.) Honestly I didn't really know what song to pick, but I figured no one can ever go wrong with the Neighbourhood so here you are sdjghsjgdhjksgh. I think the song actually fits these characters pretty well so that's something! Also shoutout to Klowbi for being my consultant and trying to help me with my episode problem... can't believe the amount of maouphobia SV showed on Maou Day-

please sub Maou to view true pieces of art!!

cosmicsoul. 2021-06-12 | You thought it was over? Well you thought wrong!

Shelly Day is coming to an end in my time zone, but the Shelly life is forever... I have one last thing to drop off even though it's not really the flashiest edit. It's fairly simple, but I hope all your loves make up for it!! (and Eulamber for the dancing and the gay rights)

The goal was more of a "feel good" kinda vibe anyway because you always make me feel warm and happy~ Also this song... is for you..... it's the simplest things about being with you that make me the happiest after all ♥

Honestly after my dm essay my head is empty, I hope you can still instinctively feel the unspoken lovemail-

saltwater room. || twin birthday collab

cosmicsoul. 2021-06-12 | I hope none of you thought I would have nothing to post for this special day!! If yes, you are fools :)

This is the spiritual successor to Jenny from last year just gayer and more mentally ill. The idea was actually by Shelly because she is a wonderful clever bean who I adore very much, so you will see her part of this 'collab' on my birthday in four days! Just thinking about it makes me want to die /pos!!

So once again... happy birthday my love 🥺 Thank you for making my life as wonderful as it is and for staying by my side. I'm sure you must be the person that knows me the best, even the most questionable sides of me and I know that knowledge will be safe in your hands... I'm truly blessed to be important to a person as lovely as you and I will do everything I can to be there for you. No matter what happens or what is on your mind, know that you can talk to me anytime. It's only right because I know you would do the same to me... I don't think there could be a version of myself that exists without your daily company, which is as happy as the person I am now. Let's share many more happy days from now on too ♥

Please sub to the beloved Touko to my Yuu...

talk some sense to me. || MEP Collection #22

cosmicsoul. 2021-06-07 | alternatively titled "Ray's A3 disease"... it's terminal ♥

I swear I never intend to let this parts collect as much as they do, but in the end these kinds of videos always end up monstrous for no good reason. I really wanted to get this one out soon though so I can finally upload a collection of pride parts at the end of the month like I always wanted to. It took a bit to clear the rest of my due parts out of the way, but I'm all set for that now at last! Hence why this video is as long as it is-

Help, I never know what to say in these descriptions?? I'm not particularly unhappy with any of these parts, but they could also be better...? As they always could, to be fair. There's quite a bit of raw in this, more so than usual and I'm really glad about that. I have a lot of fun editing it even though it's not really my biggest strength, but there is just something calming about not having to worry about backgrounds for once. For one time. sighs... backgrounds my nemesis,,

[YPIV] I went too far. || abandoned(?) wip

cosmicsoul. 2021-05-13 | HELLO BESTIES, I AM NOT DEAD. Yet.

Does anyone still remember me? Does anyone still remember THIS? Well when I said I would finish this I was lying to myself. Not terribly surprising I didn't manage to complete a full amv even splintered into pieces like this, but an effort had been made... Maybe I'll return to this one day, but the chances rather point to no than they do to yes. I'm really sorry to anyone who asked for a part, but I didn't deliver... I promise I tried but even with my love for this song and this game it was just... A Lot to keep up with at some point.

I figured the least I can do is show what I actually managed to finish because it's a fair bit to my own defence! So I hope you enjoy this anyway, no matter if your requested parts got done or not, if you ever asked for a part at all or not. I'm not unhappy with it, but you can clearly see this thing is over a year old, so please be gentle with me sdjkgjkgjksdg

[AMV] emerald planet.

cosmicsoul. 2021-04-15 | I have no excuse or explanation for this whatsoever, it just happened!! I didn't plan to do this at all and I definitely didn't want to put in so much effort for this stinky man, but it's too late now. Happy fucking birthday. You better appreciate this because it's more than you deserve cabbage man :)

As to why I'm editing an A3 character to an enstars song? Your guess is as good as mine besties, it just WORKS somehow. The song got stuck in my head and it's really catchy and then I looked at the lyrics and thought "hey, I can make something that burns out of this", so I did. I started out liking it, but a 40 second audio cut does things to your creativity so the last bit looks very very lame. I'd apologise, but it's what the man deserves. Can't believe I spent an entire day on this for Chikage. Chikage!!! Who am I.

also yes I am once again editing in square format because I enjoy having less space to fill, what about it!!

BBBlue [22/24 done]

cosmicsoul. 2021-04-12 | I am once again attempting to host a MEP on this channel. Let's hope it goes better than usual!!

There is no theme, but make your parts blue: either slap some colouring onto that bad boy or use sky/water/rain/etc. scenes or just a blue colourscheme for your fx, whatever floats your boat!

RULES:
- Multifandom and any style! Footage can repeat, I don't mind.
- You can ask for multiple parts if you want~ I'm setting a limit to three though jhgsjghjsg
- Make sure your clips/fanart/etc. are in HD!
- No watermarks/subtitles on your clips please!! If you have anything like that I will crop it out.
- Please leave at least 8 extra frames at the end of your part so I can do a proper transition!
- Try to get the lyrics right if you're going to use them! Lyrics are provided for you in a link below.
- If you need me to cut your audio, please tell me right away~
- React to my reminders, even a like is enough, just... don't ghost me besties ♥
- Send your finished parts to Rayyy#4154 on discord if you can (the comment section can be wacky but if you don't have discord that's fine too)

Parts (3 in order of preference):

How many parts do you want?:

cosmicsoul. 2021-03-10 | "Now that I think about it, I don't keep up with people. I don't really hold onto relationships and that might make me cold-hearted."

(contains spoilers for episode 10 of Adachi to Shimamura)

Does something classify as a vent edit, even if it was made almost 24 hours after feeling vent-y? Who knows!! But that's basically what it is. Deteriorating mental health go brr, but I think we're all feeling it with lockdown and the stress of everything else piling up.

I was thinking about this project idea last night too and I still felt like doing it now, so that must count for something. The way I feel about Shimamura is really complex honestly, because I FEEL her, but at the same time I don't? I suppose the best way to put it is that we share similar struggles with similar consequences, yet different reasons for those things. I don't really agree with her attitude, but some of her flaws were uncomfortably familiar... It's something I've felt insecure about for a while too, so seeing it presented on screen even to some extend was an interesting experience.

Other than me being edgy, I really like how this turned out despite the easy-going raw. ngl most of it gets carried by the song because I'm in love with it sdgjsjdghsdkg but yeah, lesbian rights!!

[collab] rare. || Happy Birthday Ace! ♥

cosmicsoul. 2021-03-05 | (Part 1 contains major spoilers for Act 5 of A3!!)

My channel is alive once more and it’s for a very special occssion! ACE DAY ACE DAY ACE DAY GRRRRR

Happy (late, because of COURSE it’s late when I am involved) birthday to my one and only bro… If I ever told you I’m an only child, no I didn’t ♥ May you be blessed with plenty more pan-cakes and fictional boys in your life! I’d give them to you, but I never really tried making pancakes without supervision before and I am no programmer unfortunately...

I know this is a day late and I’m honestly so sorry for this- BUT!! We poured our sweat and tears into this, so I hope that can make up for the extended wait a little,, ;A; I know you were a bit sad when you didn’t get a birthday edit, so I’m sorry for not saying anything at that moment… I was thinking the surprise might be sweeter than revealing our plan at the time, but I still feel guilty that I enabled your sadness… I’ll just have to fight even harder to make you smile later!!

It made me so happy that we could play genshin together yesterday (earlier this night?)… I know you weren’t feeling great, but I still had so much fun and I am glad it cheered you up a little bit. You and your happiness are so important to me, so contributing even just a fraction to it means the world to me. I love you so much and it’s always so much fun to talk to you... I’m so grateful you messaged me back then and that we had the chance to grow so close in such a short amount of time… you truly do feel like a younger sibling I never had to me and I never thought I would experience something like that. Granted I’m not a good role model as an older sibling (as I always expected), but we can just wreck havoc together sdkghsghsdkjg

So, yes… I know I can’t make your bad days go away and just miraculously turn all your dark clouds into blue skies, but I want to stay by your side until you are close to that future… for as long as you’ll have me. I know I talk a lot of shit for a hypocrite, but I truly wish to see you laugh without restraint and burdens. I am so proud of you always, even if things get rough and you take a step back from everything again, I will always wait for your message notification to pop up. Life is hard (knock) and growing up is even harder, so even if you make mistakes or feel like you mess up, know that I always am and always will be proud of you and have your back. You are a precious person to me after all and I may not have many redeeming qualities to offer, but that is something I hope to do for you. I have no intention of going anywhere, so maybe one day you can put your trust in that fact as well ♥

Shelly also left you a message because she's cute like that!! Here you go~
Happy (belated) birthday Ace!! So sorry this was late,,, it's all my fault qwq Ray got it done on time so please don't blame them HHHHH,,,,
ANYWAY I love you so much, I hope that the SakuMasu and the OtoAce will make up for me making this late ;w; Thank you for being such a wonderful friend to me after all this time, I know you think you're a bad one but like I've told you many times YOU ARE NOT TO ME !!! And I'm so proud of you for trying your best to grow, change, and better yourself. Progress isn't always a straight line, so please don't be so hard on yourself every time okay? I love you, I'm proud of you, I'm so happy that you exist and that you're here. You make me laugh all the time, I love your company on late nights, I enjoy listening to the simp laughter™ that you do for pretty boys because it puts ME in a good mood hearing YOU in a good mood... I have a lot of fun playing Genshin with you and Ray and even though I suck it's nice that you babysit me SJNFDKS, I enjoy it a lot! I know your birthday wasn't that great but I do hope that other days can be better ♥ And that at least, this day will be better because of this collab Ray and I did! Just know that you mean the world to me~ I hope that we can make another year full of happy memories together (and indulge in more pretty Genshin boys of course) uwu Once again, I love you sososososo muchhhh my Hanako~ -hugs-

PHEW that was a lot of words, now I’m all worded out for the night. Uhm stan best boy Ace and stan Shelly who helped me make this project possible, you are a legend!! Sub them or die by my level 80 Amber shooting you in the head :)
… I am joking, I do not advocate violence!! (most of the time)

cosmicsoul. 2021-02-20 | What is the point of me making edits for my instagram account if I end uploading them on youtube too you ask? That's... a good question, really.

Anyway I'm free of exams for a little while so I'm ready to indulge any brainrot that comes my way and see where it leads me. Probably some place unstable and crumbling, but that's just my life in general at this point!! So yeah, Lancelot........ y e ahhhh hr rr rrr gr rrr

cosmicsoul. 2020-11-13 | HELLO GAYS, I HAVE RETURNED WITH ANOTHER BATCH OF PARTS.

I apologise that this video is so long, I just took forever to finish that last Growing Pains part, but I also didn't want to separate them... ah editing struggles :'))

Actually, I don't really have a lot to say about these, they are honestly not that great- There are some alright ones, but the execution is usually lacking at some points so eh,,, I'll have to live with it I guess. Man, sure wish I could make my raw look interesting at one point haha!!

Also???? Youtube conspired against me with this video, it had less contrast than the original file when I uploaded it the first time for some reason?? It took me two hours to figure out a solution, I hate it here.

Yeaaaah I don't have anything else to say, but I hope you guys are all doing well despite the chaos still going on!! Don't forget to rest when you need to, eat regularly and stay hydrated~

Dedicated to my lovely friends and my studios, you are all great and I hope you can find at least some joy in these parts!

[loop] so bright sometimes...

cosmicsoul. 2020-11-02 | Hello A3 nation, it's me again. Did you miss me? ♥

Of COURSE I had to make a birthday edit for Omi as well after the one for Taichi as they are both my best boys who I would gladly and readily die for so... here we are! Because this is a spiritual successor to the Taichi edits, I used another Harry Styles song and the colourscheme is kind of a middle ground between the other two? Idk I swear I had a plan for this at some point. Why go through that effort? Well because they are frequently bought together (by me), do not separate.

This man deserves his own lovemail as well, he is just so so good.... He is literally the definition of a mum friend and one of the kindest characters in the game who is always looking out for everyone's needs and is happy just to see them being happy and I... I could cry, he really is the perfect man with SO many talents, I love you so much....... I need an Omi in my life, PLEASE be my friend oh my god, no one could take better care of me,, No wonder he is fictional tbh, real life people could never. ♥ I give you a kith... but just this once....

Also have you SEEN the new birthday SSR??? Have you ever seen a man so beautiful you cried? : ) I am ready to restart my jp account until I have him in my grubby little hands... you will come home.... you WILL. I am manifesting it in my soul...

(Again this was originally for my insta account, but youtube should see this man too...)

Song: Lights Up - Harry Styles
Footage: A3!

[AMV] youre one of my kind. || for Shelly ♥

cosmicsoul. 2020-10-25 | THIS ONE IS FOR MY TWIN AND MY TWIN ONLY!!! But I suppose the rest of you may look at it as well.

Listen, I know we are mentally unstable and that's why we keep on projecting onto siblings/twins in particular, but we literally got kinassigned by a quiz and it all suddenly got too real ♥

I don't really know what to say and this probably looks crazy to anyone else but. BUT. I love you so so much my twin, my light.......... You make my days so much brighter and warmer and just BEING with you, seeing you type makes me so unbelievably happy. I can't really put all of that in this description without becoming incoherent and hitting the word limit in ten minutes, but that's fine!! I'm hoping you know all this by now... I would Die For You.............

..... do I need to put a disclaimer that we are, in fact, not related by blood? Idk but here it is I guess!!

Also YES I am editing this song for the third time, so what! ♥ It's what unstable people do, sometimes you just get too attached to the same song and use it constantly for platonic stuff, that's just the way it is.

Please check out her edit for me too, I'm losing my mind !!!

[AMV] I dont know if I could ever go without...

cosmicsoul. 2020-10-11 | Yes, shit, it's me again with ANOTHER Taichi edit, I don't do it on purpose...
(Actually I do and I'm, in fact, not sorry at all !!!)

If anyone read my last description you might remember me saying I'd save the lovemail for his birthday and the time has come. I'm SO sorry I was only able to grind out this ugly little thing during my final exam procrastination phase, at least Yellow looked good compared to this...

Well, the important part is that I got to do something for Taichi Day regardless!!! He is honestly so precious to me and even though he isn't always kind to me during gachas I love him with my whole heart... 🥺 He is honestly just a little baby boy who is trying his best and I gotta respect that!!! He is so energetic and sweet and I know he made bad choices before, but honestly mood and he just wants to be seen and loved...... Sweetheart, I see you and I LOVE you. Honestly I could sob, he has come so far already since he joined mankai company and I'm seriously gonna lose it once he plays his first lead role and we get more stories focused on him, it's gonna burn in the best way TwT Please be more confident in yourself angel, you are already very wonderful and lovable....

I could honestly go on, but I am bad at putting my thoughts into words on a good day and although it's a WONDERFUL day, it's not a good day for my coherency ♥ please love him,, (and please ignore that watermark I forgot to crop out haha!!!)

Song: Watermelon Sugar - Harry Styles
Footage: A3!

[AMV] you know I love you so... 🥺

cosmicsoul. 2020-10-02 | "I use these stickers to label my memories. Yellow's 'happy', red 'angry' and green 'sad', 'cause it's a very blueish green, see? This way, there's no way I can forget all the happy times, even if I have a bad day here and there. This moment will only last for an instant, after all! I don't wanna forget any of it!"

OKAY SO I STARTED THIS ON IMPULSE AT 4AM BECAUSE THE OCTOBER BIRTHDAY GACHA IN A3 STARTED LAST NIGHT AND OF COURSE I HAD TO PULL FOR MY SON. And despite the crushing disappointment I experienced during his last scout he came home this time... I am not worthy...... I love you so much.........

I could write an essay about how wonderful he is, but I'm gonna save that for his actual birthday edit probably. I just. needed to get my overwhelming joy out somewhere so this happened. The format is like that because I technically made this for my insta account, but I'm kinda happy with it so I decided to upload it here as well. Editing him with this song broke me a bit ngl, I literally can't stop thinking about him when I listen to it because of his yellow happy stickers, I feel UNWELL. I'm barely coherent anymore, there is nothing else I can say, just insert me screaming here because baby.... baby boy...............

Dedicated to the A3 madness chat for dealing with my incoherent breakdowns both out of pain when I didn't get Zero and out of joy last night, I am so sorry that he makes me so unstable ♥

Song: Yellow - Coldplay

[AMV] nervous. || Happy Birthday Devan!

cosmicsoul. 2020-09-27 | Unbelievable, but I'm back again already and with another birthday project!! This time I was all on my own though and the fact that these two occasions are so close together is the reason why this turned out so short... I'm really sorry, I hope you still enjoy it despite the time pressure I was under!

I am once again thanking time zones because there should still be plenty of time left at your place to enjoy this day so let me officially say happy birthday!! I promised you I would do something in return and here I am! I even marked today on my calendar so I won't goof and because it's a memorable day~ I know you are really busy lately, but I hope you can catch a small break at least for now, do something fun, have some nice food and just find the time to relax. Hopefully your workload wave ends soon because I miss my Ferdibert buddy...

Anyway!! Birthdays always are a nice time for sweet honest words and even though I'm bad at words and we don't actually know each other for that long yet I'm gonna try! To put it simply, knowing you and being your friend still feels like a fever dream sometimes. I've been keeping an eye on your editing for so long, but it never occurred to me to talk to you or anything crazy like that hsdghskgksj. Well until THAT signup and I couldn't be more grateful. You aren't only a uniquely talented editor, but also a super sweet person, it's a bit much at times really. You have been nothing but kind to me ever since and every time you compliment me in any way I die a little inside because it seems so unreal. Your writing is also wonderful and I can't get enough of every snippet you send me or when you share your headcanons and ideas with me. I'll try to give back as much as I get from now on so we can have more (probably ferdibert) talks soon~

I hope you like the video as well because I was honestly at a loss for what song to use,, You are in the The Neighbourhood studio though so I figured it was better than just randomly guessing, BUT it also means this is angsty... very angsty. I probably didn't have to go this far, but sometimes inspiration just hits in the worst way. I hope a sad edit still counts as a nice present and hey, there are flowers in it to make up for it!!!

To anyone else who is still reading this, sub the birthday sweetheart for amazing content, you won't regret it~

LA Devotee. || Happy Birdthday Chilly!

cosmicsoul. 2020-09-25 | Hello my love... I come prepared this year for bird day.

Can you believe another year passed that we've known each other? Time sure is crazy like that!! I'm really glad that we're still talking after such a long time because that's not something I can say about... quite a few of my old friendships honestly. Seriously, I must have been so embarrassing back then, I was literally a child, but you still bared with it and liked me for some reason. And you still do after so long and I'm grateful for that! Being with you is super fun and I love the time we spend together, no matter what we end up doing or talking about.

I know you worry a lot about things and I worry about YOU sometimes, but I know that no matter if it's art uni or anything else that you will do amazing. You are wonderful and capable and you GOT this, I know so! You especially should know better than to underestimate bird power!! I'm very excited to see where the two of us will end up in the future and I will do my best to be at your side and support you just as you always support me. I'm sure we can both do something great that way.

Well that was more than serious enough for the occasion!! Unrelated to future nonsense, I hope you have a great day with your chocobird and whatever else you have planned for later~ Hopefully this video will make your day a bit better as well because we tried our best. Damn manga editing is tough, how do you do it so often? But for you I tried... Also none of these lyrics make any SENSE, what are you even talking about Brendon Urie? ♥

I've said enough brainless things for tonight uuuuh enjoy the video, enjoy my friends' talent and don't forget to sub the birthday bird because she deserves it!!

[AMV] you could be anything out there. || Happy Pride! ♥

cosmicsoul. 2020-07-07 | This is late because my computer literally BROKE on the last day of June, this is peak homophobia in my 2020 my god.

This is a super self-indulgent edit I made because it's my flags and I get to choose the headcanons!! I also literally named this project 'pride hell' because... for several reasons but the most obvious being that it's 40 seconds long because I like suffering haha,,, Then my computer broke... Now I have it back and I had major rendering issues........... Why is this my life?

Anyway pride month may be over but pride life is forever so never stop being proud! You are all lovely people, no matter if you're lgbt+ in any shape or form or if you're straight and cis. You all shine so brightly, please love yourselves!! If you don't then I will do it for you cowards.

Honestly I don't have anything else to say except that I'm so glad this finally rendered properly hdfskjkgjkjkssgdj but I guess this is also a good opportunity to thank everyone for being so kind and supportive of me online, I am a braver and more honest person because of it and I can't express how grateful I am. You are all the true MVPs~

[AMV] mila take my hand. || Happy late Birthday Shelly! ♥

cosmicsoul. 2020-06-16 | Do you make self-insert AC edits with your friends or are you normal?

SO THIS IS PART TWO OF THE TWIN BIRTHDAY TIME!! Why make yourself secret editing gifts when you both can edit the same song with the same thing for each other? I believe in MilaRei supremacy.... I hope you enjoy this edit even though it's not much,, editing ac is HARD (I say as I join the ac ic.... whoops) BUT IT WAS SO FUN IN THE END?? We really be so cute tho.... stan milarei or perish

happy pride month y'all, the gayest fucking twins have their birthdays now for a reason I'm just saying.... (shelly ilysm thank you for existing because you are the BEST, I don't make the rules,, a literal ANGEL. a BLESSING. a NATION TREASURE. NEXT WORLD WONDER.)

PLEASE ALSO WATCH HER CUTE VERSION, I LOVE IT!!

[AMV] please dont bite. || Oumota

cosmicsoul. 2020-05-15 | hey youtube.... why did you put blurry glitches in the middle of this? : )

Does anyone still remember this? I started this at the end of 2018 and kinda abandoned it since then whoops- Tbh I'm not really invested in DR anymore but I was really feeling the vibe of this song so I finished the rest of it in one go. I'm not even sure you can see a difference between the two halves because my lazy editing never really changed with time, BUT it's done now! I would have felt bad for the effort past me put into this if I didn't tbh. It's not good or anything but I had fun and that's worth something too I guess!!

also Oumota is good, they are dumb purple boys with exquisite rivals to lovers potential if not for... well the plot hsfjaffjjfasgsgs

anyways I started this with Aimee in mind so if you're still out there on youtube love... this one is for you pls enjoy the oumota content

cosmicsoul. 2020-04-30 | I know I JUST uploaded and I'm usually more dead than this but this is important!!

IT TOOK SO LONG AND I'M LATE IN MY TIMEZONE BUT I DID IT GAYS!! Fueled by the power of best boy brainrot... Please love him, he is just trying his best! Some guys are just mean.

This is totally rushed despite taking forever to finish but not the worst thing I ever made which is good because he deserves a nice birthday edit. Uploaded the next day because I am a disaster! But sssshh details.

There is also a theme to this. I just don't know which one. I TRIED to go for VHS inspired by some meps but honestly idek what that means- So yeah have this theme. It's somewhere in there, make of that what you will!

Also maaaybe I have a thing for fanart of bloodied characters and maaybe you can see that in this, but whatever. Judge me if you want ashfkhfkkffssd
