life update :) ALDC Soleil 2020-08-31 | Hi guys:)first up, i really hope all of you are doing okay. Corona has turned this into a hell of a year everywhere, and all the other things that are going wrong in every country at once don't help. So i hope you guys are all as safe as you can be, and as healthy as you can be. I also know that for many of you, this is back to school time, and that is stressful any year, but with the added stress of hey, maybe i'm going to die because corona is roaming around and it feels like nobody cares about us because they just send us back to school without caring, well, september can be devastating. I just hope all of you have someone to talk to, someone to lean on. Regardless of how you feel, I hope you're supported and i hope you're doing good.To give you some updates on my life, well, the TLDR of it is that i'm not doing good (who knew spending so much time on quarantine in the same room you tried to off yourself would be so bad oops) and that i asked to go back to a psych hospital before my mental health took a turn for the dead. That's the gist of it, and that's why i haven't been posting. Now for the kicker : i don't think I ever will be posting again. There's no comeback story for Allie this time. There's no instagram, no tik tok, no nothing. I'd apologize but i need to prioritize my mental health, and i need space and time and help, and I can't do that if i'm stretching myself across the internet. I've been allowed on the computer this morning, and as I'm writing this there's a nurse sitting next to me. (her name is Amélie and she's super nice. Sometimes she gets me extra snacks when i have bad days.) I've checked youtube briefly and discovered some of my inside of aldc vids have been blocked and some needed to be put on public because for some reason they weren't. I've also checked aldc soleil and have read your comments and now i'm posting this. I want to thank all of you for your messages. I want to say I'll respond to them but let's be honest i probably won't have the time/the courage to. If at any point you'd like some news, you can ask emma (thewoodsaldc) or Isabelle (izzysoph). They have my email adress and i keep in touch with them from time to time. That being said, my mom reads all the emails i receive and she gives them to me when she sees me. So if you need to, you can send me an email there (chasingaldc@gmail.com). But please know i respond very sporadically, so it might be a while before you hear from me. There's an exercise they make me do here that I think could help some of you. Because I have suicidal tendencies, the doctors have told me that, everytime I get one of those thoughts, I need to say something I like/something I'm thankful for/something I'm excited about out loud. It's quite unsettling at first (when there's silence and all of a sudden the girl with scars all up her arms says « I would miss my dog if I were gone » it makes everyone very uncomfortable for a hot second at first) but then it creats a sort of atmosphere of yeah, there's so much shitty things but there's also so many great things. Little or big, these things are what make us move forward. Here are mine :1. I'm thankful for all the people who send me comments on yt (even though i see them months later)2. I'm thankful for the people who come to visit me in hospital.3. I'm looking forward to telling Isabelle and Emma i'm better and i'm going home. 4. Every two or three weeks, my brother sneaks in my cat or my dog and i get to hug them. 5. every tuesday we watch old movies and we get to heckle6. Sombody sent me an email telling me they miss my writing and could I please send them a copy of a fanfiction i wrote years ago7. i've gained a few pounds since i'm at the hospital. You can no longer see my ribs through my chest.8. My parents purchased me three plane tickets for Seoul next april. So my mom, my best friend and i will be in Korea next year (corona better watch it) That's only part of the list, but it's still good. So instead of commenting that you miss the channel or anything else, just comment about one simple thing you're happy about. That makes you feel warm and tingly. That makes you excited about the year to come. I hope you're all okay. You deserve to be okay. Love, Allie
DB for a rant that has no drama but some not so sweet tea ALDC Soleil 2020-05-10 | OKAY SO I'MMA RANT HERE FOR A MINUTEI had a good day on friday (or thursday, i don't really remember oops) - I made my comp vid, and i made, like, 3 audioswaps and this rp.Since then, I've tried to post all of them only to be getting blocked by lifetime every time. I've worked hard on these swaps and honestly this sucks. Cause if I can't post any more audioswaps, I'm done. They're almost the only type of video I want to make nowadays, so if I can't post them then what's the point? So this is probably going to be my last video for a while - I'll try uploading next friday for my comp, but if I get blocked I'm done. what's the point in not letting us use the clips? this is how fandoms die - if we can't use what we like and transform it and make it ours, then we won't want to be a part of that fandom anymore. You can't put everything under a glass box, you just can't. What's the harm in letting us use clips? we don't get any money from it, but they do: the more our videos are viewed, the more ads they get, and the more revenue THEY get. For something they did not edit. Which is fine because we take their content so they should have the copyright. So if you get money from us, why stop us? I don't get it. Our fandom was already falling apart from all the drama and all the people who rant and rage and say stupid stuff that they don't mean just for views and fandom fame but like - we could get through it because we had our videos. But this is just idiotic. So I'm done.
AUPC ROUND 5 - Guys, is there something holding you back? Are you nervous? (DB) ALDC Soleil 2020-05-08 | SO APPARENTLY LIFETIME KEEPS BLOCKING MY VIDEO ughand i don't have the patience to make it again so - Since ALDC Obsessed dropped out and I got nothing from Cheerful Aldc & Say Something ALDC, I'm not eliminating anybody this week. In any case, y'all did a fantastic job, and all of you had like a 27 (/30) or higher so I'm glad nobody is out this week cause that would have been hell for me haha. HERE IS MY TOP THREE:3. Golden Girls ALDC2. daydreamer ALDC (when i said make me cry i didn't mean for you to ACTUALLY make me cry i'm very smol ok)1. Ziegler RumfalloFOR YOUR ASSIGNEMENT DUE MAY 14TH:I want you to make me an intro using a Shawn Mendes song. The catch is, you only have to use one type of dance, a duet or a trio. I've put your channel names in two teams, and each team leader will decide if you use only duets or only trios (both can choose the same type, but i'd rather have one of both ;p). TEAM 1: Golden Girls Aldc / Beatles ALDC / chasing ALDC / daydreamer ALDC / tehehe aldc / Tiegan AldcYou'll be following ZIEGLER RUMFALLO and you'll be using DUETSTEAM 2: ALDC Infinite / Broadway Blondes / Enchanting ALDC / dancemomsdreamteam / foreverdancingYou'll be following THE WOODS ALDC (who found Billie first last week) and you'll be using DUETSOH. AND ANOTHER THING. If you use my fave Shawn Mendes song (no, i'm not telling you which one it is hehe), you get a leg up next week...GOOD LUCK!
17 Mai 2013 - Intro for Glitz & Glamour ALDC Soleil 2020-05-07 | every day is pride day when you're a gay™history time:on the 17th of May, 2013, the French National Assembly ratified bill 2013-404 into law, making it possible for same sex couples to (finally) get married! Despite still being young, I remember those days very clearly - how proud we were, how happy we were. Freer, too. It's the kind of happiness I wish to see in every country in the world.#lovewins
Duets That Claddie Would Have Slayed ALDC Soleil 2020-05-07 | so i made this video a hundred years ago it feels like (right around the time I was making all those claddie edits) but never uploaded it - enjoy :)
Dance Moms Swapped - Fool me Once X SSSA ALDC Soleil 2020-05-06 | CREDIT TO SAY SOMETHING ALDC WHO DID THIS FIRST :))i've started and finished a kendall rp today also i've written like 3 pages of my end of year essay for my european history class (out of like, ten)also i did my homework and did my online classesi am on fire today(also i've shaking from all the caffeine i've ingested but we're going to ignore that fact and say i'm just vibin')
DB please :) ALDC Soleil 2020-05-05 | so originally this was the intro I was doing for Challenge Me 3; April had challenged me to make an intro with only the 5 OG girls' solos, but the catch was that they all had to wear the same color costume. I had a lot of fun doing this challenge cause it was about making a simple, clean intro with only the 'og' and one color, it was not going to be all over the place like the intros I've made lately. ANYWAYS. I had initially recorded myself making the intro, but I just can't bring myself to edit it. Everytime I try, I just close filmora and just walk away, cause I just can't be arsed really. (sorry for the language) And I've noticed that everytime I open filmora to start making videos, I just get fed up with it extremely easily, like one minute in and I'm just done. Like I don't want to do it anymore. But it isn't the case with intros. It isn't the case with audioswaps. And apparently I can still find it in my heart and brain and whatever I have left to make RPs from time to time. But I just don't want to make videos anymore. I've talked a little bit about it with one of the most amazing person I have ever met in my life and I've mulled it over since and I think I'm just going to stop. Like, I'm still going to make intros and audioswaps (I have a few planned and some going up tomorrow actually) and occasionnally RPs, but I'm not going to force myself to make videos when I don't want to make them, cause that's a shortcut to quitting town and I don't want to stop editing just yet. I'm working on other, I guess more 'grown-up' editing projects and that fills me up with joy. Videos about dance moms do not spark joy anymore, and we all know what Marie Kondo would say. (All hail Marie Kondo) SO WHAT TO EXPECT?Well, basically just going to be business as usual I guess - I have one video that I hadn't uploaded but had made so that will be coming up, as well as a few audioswaps I have ready. I have a few projects, like I have a couple Dance Moms Swapped I want to make, a few intros I already have music for, I might still make the challenges you guys gave me - I'm not done yet. But I might take a break, we'll see how I feel. IN ANY CASE, I WILL CONTINUE MY COMP! The videos might be shorter like last week's but I promise I aim to keep going until it's done :)ALSOI wanted to touch on the drama that's been going on lately. I usually don't involve myself in drama and in general try to stay from it, but I do see the #fixthefandom vids and I've seen Insane for ALDC2's vids as well - in this case, however, I feel lile I want to say something. I haven't talked about it because I wanted to give myself time to think about it. As a pasty white girl, I feel like it's easy to be offended and go all defensive 'but i'm not a racist' because let's be real, none of us want to be labeled as a racist. However, because we come from priviledge (us white folks, although, yes, there are exceptions but in this case it don't matter ok), we have to constantly reevaluate how decisions, choices, and the way we view things or people. I have always thought that the way the show dealt with people of color (like abby's comments on nia's braids or how she always picked her for the ethnic dances and how she has to work for the role of rosa parks when she is the only one on the team at that point who can portray rosa parks, down to the costumes themselves. yes, looking at you ballet tights from the red bow) was wrong. I could make an essay about it but i'm not gonna cause it's late and we ain't here for that. I will say however that I cannot be sure that Nia's skin color has affected (or not) my view of her; I may have been dismissive of her (or Carmryn) because of it, too, and not realize it. But I think the point here is not to point fingers at individuals and say: you're doing wrong!! you're bad!! no. I think what was trying to be said was, guys, maybe as a group we should revisit our choices and reflect on them every so often, and try to figure out how we can be better next time. So maybe, I guess, what I'm trying to say is let's stop reacting in the heat of the moment and think about things for a while. Which also ties into the new rules of the fandom I guess, before you speak or post, think about it and evaluate your choices and your words.IN CONCLUSIONto stop this hella long essay on who cares really time is dying anyway let's all eat pasta at three am, I'm just going to say I hope you guys are okay. Coronacation is starting to affect me deeply, and I'm one of the peeps who don't enjoy the society of others much, so I can't imagine what it's like for some of you. Please reach out to someone if you're feeling antsy or upset or any type of way. Self care is still important, your mental health is still important, you are still so, so important. byeee xx
