my channel is becoming nothing but XIV and I'm not sorry for it
Originally I wanted to do a companion video to Bride (ahem, youtube.com/watch?v=rCzbh8_DGnI) focusing on my darling boy, buuuut plans changed! Also was going to be about him and his biological sis, but uh. The song suited these two a lot more, and I'm very happy I stuck with it!
Dis my lil guy Almeric and Blue24601's bb gorl Azena. They have a very complicated history and relationship (platonic, obvs) but!! they love each other!! Mainly I wanted to focus on some parallels between them, then it kinda spiraled into a general tribute/reflection of their journey thru DT!
(I'm taking baby steps towards a big magfam video, get ready, besties)
Big, big thank you and lots of love to Amy!! She not only cheered me on and kept me from slacking off, but she also helped me a LOT with ideas and the scenes themselves. Thank you so, SO much, bestie!!

Aside from Bride, this was the other video I really wanted to see finished before Dawntrail. It's actually been about 90% completed for a long time now; I just waffled on how to end it and couldn't settle on anything.
I love my boys. So much. They're very, very dear to me, and they deserve a much longer video... but I'll save that for another time!

Anyway, this video is all about my WoL Leila. My sweet, foolish girl. I adore you, daddy issues and all. I won't get too into details as I feel this video is fairly self-explanatory -- it's a lil glimpse into her story and who she is as a person. Pls perceive her.
Big, big thanks to all my besties for helping me (and reminding me to edit) with this video! Especially Amy (Blue24601), who did a marvelous job with interpreting my vague notes and knowing exactly what sort of footage I needed. I've said this a million times before but I appreciate you so, so much, and thank you for being so patient with me!!
I've been mulling over this concept for a long, long while, and now it's finally out of my brain and on the screen. This is for my dear bestie Rosie -- I love you and I love your girl so so much. I hope you enjoy this silly lil video!!
Didn't expect to edit these two again so soon, but inspiration struck and this was the result! As usual I don't have too too much to say about it; I was mostly messing around with the footage and trying out some text.

Soooo I'm really into Genshin right now; the gameplay is fun (even though I have no idea what I'm doing half the time and end up just running around) and the characters are so, so good. Also I've cried over the story too much times, it's embarrassing.
Anyhow! This is for my dear friend Layne -- I wanted to edit you a lil something with your favorite girls, and I hope this makes your day a little brighter!
I return with another video that's been done for... nearly a year now, I believe. I definitely started it well over a year ago; it was one of those projects where I was incredibly motivated, yet constantly nitpicked and agonized over every detail.
As you've probably guessed over the years, some of my favorite things to write about are alternate timelines/time travel AUs, so naturally I saw the calamity timeline as free real estate and threw one of my WoLs in there.
(For a bit of context, Leila and Almeric are siblings and are part of a mutli-WoL verse, as you've likely seen them around in my friends' videos! For deep, dark, secret lore reasons, Almeric survived the 8th umbral calamity and lived long enough to meet G'raha in that timeline. That version eventually sacrificed himself for a chance to save his family. RIP, king.)
The other WoLs in the video belong to my friends: @Blue24601 , @EnglishRosie and @BlehxIshxMe ! I appreciate and love you guys very much, and I love our silly silly blorbos. ♥
This was actually completed a few months ago; I just didn't feel like sharing it until now. It's pretty simple, basically a lazy, "feel good" edit I worked on when I didn't have much motivation.
(This is my WoL Leila, who you've probably seen in other videos. She smooches lil meow meow.)
I bring you nothing but sad Clerith feelings, as is tradition at this point. You are always a delight to be around, and I appreciate your friendship so, so much! ;__;

Happy New Year! I did not expect to have another video ready so soon, but I've been working on this one for quite a while. There was only one pairing I wanted to use with this song, and admittedly I kept putting off editing it because I wanted it to be Perfect. Is this exactly how I imagined it? No, of course not, but it's pretty darn close, and I'm very happy with how it turned out.
Big thank you to @Blue24601 for being incredibly supportive and patient with me whenever I asked for footage. And also I'm sorry for making your girl sad. Again. :D
(The other WoLs belong to me and my friends, as you probably already know from their videos! Thank you for letting me and my characters be a part of something. It really means so much to me.)

I was working on this when they :cccc announced Westworld's cancellation, gave up on it for a while, picked it back up again recently and dragged my feet to finish it. Text is the bane of my existence but dang if it doesn't look nice in the end.
Uh, once again the plot escapes me. Maybe next year you'll actually get a longer story video for this AU. No promises, though.
Also lots of love and appreciation for my besties, who demanded I finish this but also got a good laugh from my realization of what the lyrics actually meant.

This AU lives rent free in my mind at all times. Also the new season is really, really freaking good so I've been pretty inspired (tho s3 is the main inspo here, for the most part).
So I wasn't really going for a clear-cut plot and instead focused on the vibes and aesthetic! I had an idea and just ran with it -- "the relationship between a newly awakened host and her very confused human companion, but they're both kinda fucked up" or something. (I don't think I specified that Zack is human in the previous video, oops, pls go rewatch it with this in mind, lmao)
Lots of love to Blue for the validation and encouraging me to finish this! ♥

So uh. It's taken me exactly two years to revisit this AU. I changed quite a bit of the plot from the first video, but they're technically still in the same 'verse...? I guess? It's a Westworld AU, nothing has to make complete sense right away. Although this one is a lot more based on the show; mainly seasons 1 and 3... with some changes here and there. You can probably guess who's meant to be who.

So this video is mostly for me.
Lately I've been thinking a lot about when I went absolutely nuts one summer and wrote a... frankly messy fic series. It'll probably forever remain unfinished; I had a bad falling out with the friends that supported me, and then there was a failed attempt at rewriting the whole thing... It's been over ten years now, and it'll always have a special place in my heart, but a lot of the time it just hurts to think about those days.
Also my ten year editing anniversary was... a few months ago, so here's to that, too. I wouldn't be who I am today without the truly wonderful people I've met through this silly hobby of mine, and I'm forever grateful to them. ♥

It's been a while since I posted one of these! Nothing too fancy here, just... more FFXIV, as always. I've gotten a lot more comfortable doing crossovers with it now, so expect a lot more of those in the future! (I'm, uh, working on a bigger project with XII/XIV so... someday you'll see that.)

I... really dropped the ball for this round, because I'd intended to do something a little more ambitious and flashy -- but it wasn't working out the way I wanted, so I ended up forgoing my other prompt and focusing my efforts on just the one. It'll get me less points, but eh. I'm pretty happy with this nonetheless!
Prompt: Use a rap song Zack Hemsey's work never fails to turn me into a weepy mess, and this song is a personal favorite of mine! I wanted to put a lot of emphasis on the lyrics themselves, so I made sure to use clips that worked best with them and the overall theme of finding the strength to persevere amidst sorrow.
Anyway, that's about all I've got to say. Good luck to everyone else! o/

(no super big spoilers for ff14 here! you're safe, Rai!)
For the Pokemon League's Thunder badge, I needed to edit a story video with a surprise twist at the end, whiiiiich...
(...)
is that it's a prequel to an older video! (youtu.be/3AFyCXVy34s) I've wanted to do something with this AU again for a long time, but I lacked the inspiration to finish anything I started. (Or outright deleted the files, but that's my own foolish mistake.) For this, I wanted to expand a bit on Etro's backstory and... kinda give more context to Noel's seemingly random appearance in the original video. Also I'm a sucker for using Meteor as an older/alternate version of him, so...! :D
Story: After her guardian's death, Etro (Ashe) discovers that his soul has already been reborn. Desperate to keep him safe, she takes him to Valhalla and begs that he stay with her. Unfortunately, Lindzei (Lumina) tips off their father and is all "you're not supposed to fall in love with a human!" So she sends him over to Bhunivelze because she's a big jerk. The end.
Or is it??? maybe I will revisit this idea again another time and finally edit that sequel I've been thinking about for years. Also kinda wanna remake the original, but we'll see about that...

This took me a lot longer than I wanted, mostly because I went through a bunch of songs (as always) and couldn't find one I really vibed with. And I took forever to come up with Minfilia's backstory.
Overall, the plot is the same as my Balthier video (youtu.be/O0l25M2v54Y), but it's more focused on Minfilia and her past... which is still pretty Mysterious, but I don't want to reveal everything right away!
Storyline: - Minfilia has amnesia and has no idea how she ended up in Palamecia. She can vaguely remember a man that protected her and kept her safe, and so that's why she kinda latches onto Balthier and refuses to leave him alone. - Al-Cid's a creep and wants to sell her to pay off some debts, but Balthier's like "dude she's just a kid" and just decides to keep her around until he can find someone more trustworthy. - During the Feast of the Bride, Minfilia senses that something is very Wrong and ends up separated from Balthier when the ghosts show up and wreak havoc. One of them in particular seems to be looking right at her...

I'm a day late and this is really short, but this is for my long-time friend Mu! I feel like I'm a little rusty when it comes to editing these two so I did my best to make it at least look nice. It's also not a song from the Good Ol' Days but I hope you like it nonetheless!!

For round 2 of Shuffle Wars! I always hoped Dissidia NT would give me my dream AU of these two, alas... I had to make it myself. :c Also it's been like 3 years since I last edited a full video of them, so, um! Yeah!
Story: In previous cycles of the war, Balthier teamed up with Ultimecia and turned a warrior of Cosmos against his own allies, ensuring Chaos's victory each and every time. After a while, the guilt really gets to him, so he actively tries to put an end to it by asking Cosmos for help. But whatever he had planned is all for nothing, because Ultimecia successfully manipulates Snow into believing that Balthier is his enemy and deserves to be punished for all he's done.
Themes: Redemption -- Balthier makes a really sorry attempt at redeeming himself. At least he tried. :c Maybe next time, bud. Good vs. Evil -- You've got Balthier and Ultimecia on Team Chaos, and Snow and Lightning on Team Cosmos. Except Balthier's not... REALLY evil, he just makes some questionable choices. Destined for Tragedy -- In every cycle, at least one of them has to die. I went with an ambiguous ending but you can... pretty much assume it did not end well again.

My entry for the Pokemon League's "Spring Cleaning" special event! We were asked to complete an old, unfinished project, so I did some digging and found this gem buried in an mep/beta collection. Luckily this was among the files that survived the Great Purge of 2018 when I foolishly deleted anything I thought would never get finished.
Biggest changes are probably the coloring and the expanded plot. Also tossed out the typography because it just wasn't working right and looked weird.
So, anyway, this is a Westworld AU where Lightning and Luna are hosts that have gained consciousness, so their creator Sazh chooses to set them free. I was gonna go the canon-route with Lightning or Luna getting all vengeful against humanity, but eh. Maybe I'll revisit this again sometime!

Anotherrrrr Pokemon League video! This is for the Soul Badge, which required me to edit an emotional vid with a song by SYML. I decided to focus on feelings of regret and loss and coming to terms with that. The song I picked gave me serious Emet-Selch vibes, and I'm still sad about Shadowbringers, so... Basically, Emet mourns for those he has lost to time and will do anything to bring them back, while the WoL just wants to save everyone they can, whatever it takes (even if it means fighting against the dude you really warmed up to and liked having around :c). They're quite similar, and I wanted to explore that in this video.
I thought I was tough shit for not immediately falling for Emet like everybody else, but then I played through the story myself... I'm Boo-Boo the Fool, basically. I was an absolute sobbing mess by the end.

This is like my second or third attempt at CapnRaye's Roll for Initiative contest... But I refused to give up, so even if the video itself is lackluster, it's... Something at the very least! Not the idea I originally wanted to go with; I wanted to continue/mess around with the storyline from her previous contest, buuut... I'll save that for another time!
Prompt: "Did they move on?" Challenge: Use a song starting with the letter F
I kinda interpreted my given prompt as two people that have drifted apart over time and have very different lives. Boy loves girl, girl loves boy, but she's royalty and can't marry a commoner. Everyone is sad about it. :c
"Ardbert, you stubborn idiot. You sweet boy. You never did understand what you meant to me..."

This is another video for the Pokemon League's OTP/NOTP challenge, but this time I had to edit someone else's ship! Nyx (nightweare) requested Ardbert/Lamitt, and I couldn't resist the chance to edit them, despite only having a handful of cutscenes available.
This is kind of simple and not really fancy, but I'm quite happy with how it turned out!
(And, uh, for context if you don't play FF14: Lamitt is a dwarf/lalafell, but she IS an adult. They just... look really young compared to all the other races in game.)

What's this? An audition?
(I didn't expect to be done with this so quickly, but discussing ideas with friends did wonders for my motivation.)
Most characters here are just placeholders, and any connection to other auditions is PURELY coincidental! c; Minfilia is technically one, too, but I started these masks for a now discontinued project and decided to re-purpose them for this!
Story: - Balthier is a 30-something con-artist/criminal/not-a-nice-dude that made a deal with the wrong people, leading to his imprisonment. - While making his escape, he comes across another prisoner: a timid girl named Minfilia. He makes the impulsive choice to take her with him. - But she keeps following him around like a lost puppy and he starts feeling bad about it, but still isn't quite sure what to do with her. - After the disastrous Feast of the Bride celebration (shown in a flashback near the end b/c I didn't plan this out), his employer sends him off to see what all this fuss about ghosts and Mysidia is about. - Minfilia follows Balthier and begs that he take her with him.

I really didn't know what to do for this IC, so I just... threw some Sad Feelings around and hoped it looked nice.
Another Pokemon League video! For the Marsh badge, I was asked to edit with an artist that I don't normally use.
I tried editing with this song in the past -- but it was before LR came out, and I had zero clips to work with and ended up scrapping the project. So here we are, like six years later. I've been replaying it (a-again...) and chatting with friends about all these games, and I had... Feelings™ that needed to get out.

Channeling my 2012-self and getting petty about ships again.
Okay, not really. This is for the Pokemon League's OTP/NOTP special event. If I had to pick a ship I reeeeally didn't like, it's probably still this one. I really enjoy their friendship and can't see it progressing any further than that. They're CUTE, but would it work out??? Eehhhh.

Happy New Year and a belated happy holidays to everyone!
This is for Shimo! Surprise, I was your secret santa! We have... incredibly similar taste in both music and games, so this was actually a challenge to just pick something and stick with it! I had a lot of ideas... But seriously, I hope you enjoy this short video! It was a blast to work on it!
