[sMMV] Shut up my moms calling xNightstars 2023-02-22 | On today's episode of "This Was Going To Be Longer But I Ran Out Of Inspiration",This is (sort of) the last thing in my backlog, though I animated it this month after moving my sprite sheets onto my laptop. Back on my bullshit animating Danny tormenting Kiki as a way to vent, just like the good ol' days! God, my MMV style of animating is like... permanently stuck in 2015 or something, I really don't meet the standard I see these days LMAO. It's fine though, I'm kinda happy with how this turned out regardless. In all honestly I have no idea how often I'll be animating, so this might be the last thing you see from me for a while? Like I said, I'm not BACK back, but I am newly obsessed with my OCs so... who's to say ¯\_(ツ)_/¯PROGRAMS;maples.impaint.netsony vegas pro 15SONG;Shut up my mom's calling - Hotel UglyTIME TAKEN;6-7 hours?

[MMV] dont panic. xNightstars 2023-02-14 | "Girl I think about you all damn day, but I know you don't believe the shit I say."Originally animated in August of 2022.I... Don't have an excuse for this. My brother showed me this song on one of our drives and my brain said 'Hey remember Elegy?' and I was like, 'fuck dude I sure do' LMAO. I was feeling particularly nostalgic around that time, so that probably had something to do with it. Did you know Elegy is turning thirteen this year?? How fucked up is that???

[sMMV] i fall apart xNightstars 2023-02-11 | Is there even anyone left in this community LMAO.So, um... Hey? It's been a while. I've re-written this description about ten times because I'm so nervous about posting this, oops.I know I said I was leaving back in 2020, but the truth is that I can't stay away forever. I still animate from time to time to try and work out my feelings, since my old vices are off the table these days. Depending on the reception this gets, I might post some of the other things I've made, if you guys are interested? I'm not completely sure how welcome I am here, to be honest, especially after the cowardly exit I made back then.I wouldn't say I'm back, either, so don't count on me posting here often. I've just rekindled my love for Cold Skin after so long, so I went ahead and relisted all the videos related to it. I've started posting about them a little bit on my socials, which I'm sure you guys can find if you look hard enough. Both of my exes found me, so I clearly wasn't doing a very good job at hiding KDFHD.This isn't canon, for the record. The girlfriends stay together. I realized about halfway through that I had other OCs that would fit the song better LMAO. This was going to be longer but I ran out of inspiration, and I wasn't the happiest with how it was turning out.

I started this like last week because my abuser sorta contacted me and I lost my shit, so I needed something to distract myself. I finished it the other day because I was super anxious, and animating is one of the best ways to get my feelings out. I'm okay now, I sat on this for a few days and decided I liked it enough to post it.My next upload will probably be something... Kind of... unexpected... And strange...Also Kiki has different eyes now. They're brown and not as big, I think they suit her a lot better.

I'm planning on making CS4 before I even attempt to tackle part 2 of this, I need a bit of a break from this plotline.I don't have a fair excuse as to why this took so long. I burned myself out several times, I got sick of the story, I re-worked the plot multiple times, I've gained and lost so many loved ones in my life... I've dealt with suicidal depression, I've experienced true love and happiness... So much has happened during the time it took to make this episode.

Matt and Elliot are a thing now, so I sorta used this as an excuse to share that information, as well as officially move him to The Crew.STORY IN CASE YOU DON'T GET IT;Matt is still horribly heartbroken, his addiction and depression only worsening with time. Eventually, he decides he can't live in Ohio anymore, and wants to move as far away as he can, all the way to Oregon. He just wants a fresh start. Months pass, but nothing has changed. He hurts, he can't make friends, he can't hold down a job... So one night, while delirious from his high, Matt's mind wanders and he decides there's no point in living anymore. As he's about to jump, someone grabs him, pulling him down from the railing he was perched on.Elliot had saved his life. They're unable to just leave Matt alone, so they end up becoming friends. They introduce him to their friends and mother, and after time passes, the two grow quite close. Matt realizes he's starting to fall for Elliot, but... They're aromantic. They could never care for him the way he cares for them. Despite this, one day, he decides there's nothing to lose, and confesses to Elliot.Much to his surprise, Elliot kisses him.

[MMV] The Other Side of Paradise xNightstars 2017-01-12 | All I talk about is OCs; http://xnightstars.tumblr.comWOO FIRST UPLOAD OF THE NEW YEAR. This is an idea I've had ever since I first heard the song, and I thought it'd be nice to mix up my uploads with some gay boys. I'm actually like... Really proud of this?? It's nothing special, but I did work pretty hard on it, and I'm happy with the outcome. I might continue Matthew's story sometime, I'm not completely sure. I've grown attached to him, I just don't know what to do with him, LMAO.STORY;Matthew Blaire ; black hair // Elijah Melendez ; latino boy // Valerie Hawkins ; girlMatthew and Elijah are a couple. Elijah has always been in love with music, and wants to make it his career, believing the only way he can do so is to leave to Los Angeles. Matthew is hesitant on letting him go, worrying for their relationship and his well-being, but Elijah promises him everything will be okay. Matthew agrees to let him go, and the two continue with a long distance relationship.Elijah gets a gig at a small club, and a girl hanging out happened to notice him perform. Impressed by his skills, she follows him afterwards and tells him she has connections that could help get his name out there. It turns out, this is Valerie Hawkins, who works with a label company and scouts for musicians with potential. Elijah accepts this offer, of course, and the two start to work together, becoming quite close in the process...During one of Elijah's calls to Matthew, the latter happens to notice something being broadcast on his TV - an image of him kissing Valerie. Completely hurt and betrayed, he accuses Elijah of cheating, which causes him to recall the sexual relationship he'd had with Valerie. Having no excuse, he simply begs for Matthew's forgiveness, claiming it to be a mistake. Matthew doesn't believe he would cheat if Elijah really loved him, and though his feelings are still strong and it hurts, he calls off their relationship.Matthew has now fallen into a depressive state, always wearing bandages on his hands to hide his self-harming, and abusing his prescription medications.TIME SPENT;Lost track of time, been working on it since Christmas.SONG;Glass Animals - The Other Side of ParadisePROGRAMS;Sony Vegas Pro 13Paint.netPhotoshop CS5BannedstoryPEOPLE FEATURED;BubblekillerXDLonerFishxoxAi.//wastedAnimeWorldz21xCatzyTurtleMasterx3---LUCIDDREAMS AUDITION:Name(nickname): IzzyAge(optional): 20Birthday: April 16thGender: (Mostly) Cis FemaleActive Scale (0-10): Varies due to health issues and motivation, but I'd guess average is about a 6 or 7!Bsproj: http://www.mediafire.com/file/99wl62c5bpq4s5d/xNightstars.bsprojTell us five facts about yourself; (1) I've been animating since 2008!

I can't say too much without spoiling the episode, unfortunately!This started as a vent, as well as something to work on when I got sick of CS3.

[MMV] Magic xNightstars 2016-04-05 | *BEFORE YOU REPRIMAND ME, THIS MMV IS NOT PART OF THE COLD SKIN STORY LINE, KIKI DOES NOT DIE. I'M JUST PLAYING WITH EVERYONE'S FAVORITE AU.I sometimes post things here; http://xnightstars.tumblr.comOkay so, I'm kind of throwing myself a little party because I actually finished a full MMV with a song that ended up being four and a half minutes, without even cutting the song down?? I hadn't planned on this being a full MMV, the first scene was sort of a test for that fancy track motion blinking everyone does these days. Which also forced me to learn how to properly use track motion. Eight years of Maplestory animating and I never really bothered to learn how to use track motion, what's wrong with me.I decided last second to add the voice acting segment, just because... I dunno. Thought it would make it more dramatic. I probably should have waited until I got better, since I'm sick as SHIT right now and that made it sound bad, but TOO LATE NOW. I put way too much time into this basic-ass MMV. I have things to be working on, but instead I'm just torturing my OCs. My priorities are in order, clearly.STORY;Kiki ; black hair // Ana ; red hair // Alex ; blonde // Elliot ; brunet // Maya ; light brown hairKiki and Ana are together, and seem to be very happy. One day, her father invites Ana, Alex and Elliot over, only for them to hear the shocking news that Kiki had committed suicide. None of them had suspected she was that depressed, especially Ana, and she completely breaks down.A little over a year later, Ana is still very much in love with her now deceased girlfriend. She hasn't been able to move on, and begins drinking more heavily to drown her sorrows, as well as pushing Alex and Elliot away when they try to help. One night at a bar, she meets a girl named Maya. They end up hitting it off, and Maya takes Ana back to her place to have messy drunk sex. Ana had used her to try to make herself feel better, and intended for this to simply be a one-night stand, but Maya stops her before she leaves. She wants to see her again. Reluctantly, Ana agrees.They begin dating and spending more time together, and Ana is trying her hardest to let go of Kiki, but being intimate with anyone other than her is killing Ana with guilt. Maya notices Ana lost in thought one day, and when she snaps her out of it, Ana finally tells her about Kiki. Despite trying to push her away during another breakdown, Maya asks for the chance to help Ana let go. They become official.Maya meets Alex and Elliot, they all get along wonderfully. Maya is kind, understanding, she's great! But she's not Kiki. Even after becoming an official couple, Ana still drinks away her sadness about Kiki far too often for Maya's liking. One night, she discovers Ana binge-drinking again, and finally snaps. After a pretty one-sided shout-fest, Maya leaves Ana, heartbroken.Elliot tells Ana to go talk to her. Hesitantly and fearfully, she finally goes to Maya's home. The outcome of their conversation and relationship is left up to the viewer, as it is unsaid whether they stay together or not.TIME SPENT;Well over 48 total hours, done between two to three weeks.SONG;Joe Brooks - MagicPROGRAMS;Sony Vegas Pro 13Photoshop CS6Bannedstory(RBS Audition)

A lot of stressful shit's been going on in my life right now, so I haven't been on the computer much, nor have I gotten any real work done.

I'm just doing the final editing for the first scene and it was getting really tedious (About seven and a half minutes into the video). I wanted to do some voice acting, and I figured I could also go into Ana's history a tiny bit. I have a hard time doing different voices, so, apologies if they sound really similar... I also used a lot of the BSPROJ's that were given to me, see if you can find yourself in the background!----------SOUNDTRACK ♬► 0:00 ; 6pm - Animal Crossing----------CHARACTER BIOS✔► Kiki Ariadni ; http://pseudoor.tumblr.com/kiki_ariadni► Ana Marie Clyde ; http://pseudoor.tumblr.com/ana_marie_clyde----------PROGRAMS*:･ﾟ✧► Audacity► Bannedstory► Photoshop CS6► Sony Vegas Pro 13----------☆ MISCELLANEOUS ☆► Kiki's custom hair was made by me.► All the voices were done by me.► I post video updates and WIPs at http://xnightstars.tumblr.comDescription is subject to edits.

[MMV] Blind xNightstars 2014-12-11 | I'd be proud of finishing a full MMV, but the song itself is only a minute or so long... I'm still really happy with how it came out, save for the one image near the end that keeps freaking out. Not sure how to fix that, unfortunately.Please note that Kiki committing suicide is no longer canon to the Cold Skin storyline. This MMV is sort of like an alternate timeline.STORY;It's been a few years since Kiki (black hair) committed suicide. Ana (red hair) is still hopelessly in love with her after all this time, and though she's trying her hardest to move on with Maya (brunette), she can't seem to let go of her past love.TIME SPENT;8-10 hours, done over three days.SONG;SoMo - BlindPROGRAMS;Sony Vegas Pro 13Photoshop CS6Bannedstory
[sMMV] Somebody Special xNightstars 2014-10-28 | I began working on this a number of weeks ago, but a few things came up and I couldn't continue to work on this. I eventually just lost the motivation to finish it. This is about Ana (red-head) wishing that Kiki (black hair) would fall in love with her.TIME SPENT;Done over a couple days.SONG;AM Kidd - Somebody SpecialPROGRAMS;Sony Vegas Pro 13Photoshop CS6Bannedstory
[MMV] Ballada w Rytmie Dżins xNightstars 2014-09-06 | WARNING: This MMV contains mature content that may not be suitable for younger audiences. Viewer discretion is advised.I'm so proud of myself, I actually managed to make a full MMV. I don't think I've done that since I was twelve. I suppose I managed to complete it because I wasn't aiming for anything flashy and I took a more 'storytelling' approach. I was also motivated by my love for my OCs.STORY;Kiki (black hair) exits her class and sees her girlfriend, Ana (red-head). They walk home together and kiss. The next afternoon, their friends Alex (blonde) and Elliot (brunet) find them and ask if they would like to go camping with them over the weekend. Ana accepts immediately, but Kiki is more reluctant. She accepts anyway.It turns out they go camping to smoke weed. Kiki is really uncomfortable at first, but Ana manages to get her to try some. She gets high pretty quickly, not used to the substance, and they go off somewhere they can be alone. It quickly evolves into sex. The next morning, Kiki is thinking about her relationship, when Ana comes out of nowhere. Kiki kisses her and says she loves her.TIME SPENT;Done through seven days.SONG;Ballada w Rytmie Dżins - Grzybowe MelodiePROGRAMS;Sony Vegas Pro 13Photoshop CS6Bannedstory
Elegy (FULL SERIES) xNightstars 2014-07-27 | To read the End of Elegy, click the following link and hit DOWNLOAD; mediafire.com/file/3wrhrn6c3gbr1yf/eoe.txt/fileIf you are unable to download the file, please click the following link and wait for the page to fully load; web.archive.org/web/20180612044154/http://xnightstars.tumblr.com/eoeBEFORE ASKING ME ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE READ THE FAQ OVER AT MY OLD BLOG; web.archive.org/web/20181011193637/http://xnightstars.tumblr.com/faqFinally, after popular request, Elegy has been re-uploaded to Youtube! This is the series that got me to where I am today, it's what I'm known best for in the Maplestory community. You can now relive the series by watching it in one incredibly long video! How handy!The reason I cancelled Elegy was because I got very sick in late 2010, right after I'd made the first few episodes. I was bedridden for the entirety of 2011, and I was so depressed and unwell, I started to lose interest in even my favorite hobbies. It killed my drive to animate, and what had once become a fun pastime had become a chore - An obligation. People loved Elegy, it exploded in a way I would never have guessed. It made me very happy, and I can't explain how much I appreciated it. However, at the time, it was too much for me to handle.After a really stupid argument got out of hand, I eventually gave in to my emotions and deleted my channel without warning, out of pure, raw, rash anger. I deeply regret that decision. I wish I hadn't deleted my channel, and instead cancelled the series and gone on hiatus. I took a year off from animating, and eventually came back as I found myself enjoying it again.Thank you to everyone that supported me over the years. Thank you to all of my subscribers, thank you to everyone that shared the series, to those that always commented, to those that made me WANT to keep animating when my drive was gone. Elegy is my legacy in the Maplestory community, and it's what I'll be known for whether I like it or not.I know everyone wants to see the series finished, but I'm sorry to say that it's just not going to happen. It's been too long, and I no longer have any interest in this story, or the characters. Doing anything with it would just be another obligation that I don't want to fill. Animating is a choice, animating is supposed to be fun. Elegy was stressful. It was so much unnecessary stress on top of all the stress and depression I was already feeling, and I couldn't handle it.Please enjoy what was completed. I spent three long years on this series, and despite acting as if I despise it, Elegy is actually very important to me. I poured my heart and soul into this series, and I hope you can all feel it while watching.Thank you for watching. Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for loving my creations, and making me feel like I had done something worthwhile.~ Izzy / xNightstars
