All That Remains || [CLOSED] @Grumpyblues

Grumpyblues All that Remains: Non/Disney RP contest:
[DEADLINE IS FEB 16TH]

You are the ghost of a person that died in tragic circumstances. Now you find yourself trapped between the living and the dead, bound by your soul to an object. Your artifact has been brought to the old DeBourgh Mansion and now you reside in these echoing halls, along with other trapped spirits

As more artifacts arrive with more and more spirits, the dead reside happily in their new home til one night Jane Porter, the ghost of a young Historian, disappears along with her artifact.

This is the first hint that all is not right in the old Mansion, and that they’re being gathered there for some sinister purpose.

It’s your job to explore the mysterious Mansion and its odd visitors, figure out what’s going on, and try to avoid a fate worse than death.

RULES:
1.Open to any editor with at least a professional editing program.
2.One character per person, but you can use unclaimed secondary characters in flashbacks or background scenes.
3.Tell us what character you have claimed, and you will have around a month from then to complete an audition.
4.Using other editors masks is allowed, but you must properly credit them.

AUDITION:
You MUST show:

1.Your artifact.
2.Your characters personality, and at LEAST one of the following options. But you can do both. (a) memories of their life/death and/or (b) what they usually do to pass time in the mansion.
3.Your character finding out Jane gone, and their reaction if they knew her.
4. And finally, is your ghost is starting to think something is going on or are they a skeptic?

And in the description, your characters ability must be described. It doesn't have to appear in the audition video unless you want it to.

I Will Let You Down || Captain Rex

Grumpyblues 2021-06-30 | Yes hello I have been crying about the Clones a lot lately why do you ask.

I've always loved those real toned down videos with emotional music and sound clips, so here we go, my attempt at one.

Overlay by J&K Overlays.

Broken Glass [Raya x Namaari]

Grumpyblues 2021-03-14 | #Rayaari #RayaxNamaari

I love Raya and the Last Dragon more than I've cared about new Disney Releases in the last 10 years ngl.

Also this is the first video in... years where I havent masked anything and its a weird experience.

Also Namari's got them soft butch vibes and I'm fucking living.

Returns of the Moon: A Quiet Moment

Grumpyblues 2021-03-08 | Set in the meadow between Rounds Three and Four
I thought I had another two days to edit this so uhhh it's very rushed.

But. Here you gooooo.

[details later]

The Science of Fighting [Heavy & Medic]

Grumpyblues 2020-11-05 | Did I, in the year of our Lord 2020, just make a TF2 video?
Yes, yes I did.

Okay so I have been, as the kids say, "very depressed", and TF2 makes my little 2000's gamer heart happy. I had to indulge in two of my favorites and their cool subplot in End Of The Line.

Heavy and Medic are great okay. Don't @ me.

TF2 is owned by Valve.
End Of the Line [SFM] is by McVee and a bunch of other talented folks, seen here: youtube.com/watch?v=6aLjwVVNq4s&ab_channel=McVee

Pneumothorax || Jasmine & Asenath ||

Grumpyblues 2020-10-29 | CONTENT WARNING: SCENES OF SUICIDE. Not for younger audiences or anyone disturbed by such content.

So I made this in 4 days as a Backup for FablesSecrets' wonderful Pneumothorax MEP. As such, it's not the cleanest but I'm pretty happy with how it looks for 4 days of work.

Plot: Evil queen enjoys murdering and torturing innocents for fun. Vengeful ghost of one of her victims decides to visit and influences her into killing herself.

Masks: Me, TheNight130, DreamingwithDragons, Pastard, and KristinArt_18

Sucker || Eris x Ariel || MEP Part

Grumpyblues 2020-10-23 | Local woman can't stop watching the bit where Melody claps to the beat, more news at 10.

Plot: Sad queen wants to be a mother. Weird shady goddess appears like 'ey whats up, you want a baby? Lets make a deal.'
Turns out the deal is that Ariel has Eris' kid (don't ask how it's magic idk man) and they both fall in love and raise their darling demon-god child.

This is for Kitti H's Sucker MEP, and honestly I had to sort of stop working on it and just call it complete bc I'm squeezed for free time for other projects. So here it is.

Masks: Me , Airasora, 2009JoRose, BlissBirdie, TheNight130, TheNamelessdoll, KristinArt_18, and TheQuietWierdo17.

Thanks for the Eris masks, guys, she's the WORST.

On a Search for Sailors || Chel x Kale || MEP Part

Grumpyblues 2020-10-13 | This is my MEP Part for Nana's Téir Abhaile Riú video, about a young Irish woman who falls for a sailor despite her families worries.

My brain: Hey you've always wanted to do a video about Ireland, here's your chance, show off your home countr-
Galaxy Brain: CHEL AND KALE CHEL AND KALE CHEL AND KALE IN A MEDITERRANIAN SETTING.

Idk why but I imagine Asenath and Mei sort of being Chels' found family. And despite their worry ie. following her to the city- they sort of find it cute and get on board the Chel x Kale train by the end.

Lost In Your Galaxy || Mulan x Shan Yu

Grumpyblues 2020-09-22 | This is my part for the lovely BeautifulDreamers Deaf Edit Mep!

I promised more Shan Yu/ Mulan content, didn't I?

Plot: Anxious new father is staring at the sky and remembering all their good times together while his wife has a baby. Wife and baby are both fine and happy family times ensue.

"But Jen, how did two Asian people have a white baby?"
Because I am a slave to the contents of the footage I work with.

Masks belong to me, Pastard and Varroman

Cashing in My Bad Luck || ROTM || Kirimas POV

Grumpyblues 2020-08-31 | As Round 2 kicks off and everyone has fun on the boat, Kirima's having some quality time with her inner demons.

NOTE: Kiri doesn't hear or see these voices or ghosts, it's more a representation of her struggle with her own fears and doubts.

SECOND NOTE: This in no way has any story hints or plot spoilers, pls don't look too much into this for the future of ROTM. I just wanted to edit with my girl.

Song is a cover by these guys: youtube.com/watch?v=b4vZKHsWVT0&list=LLk3jDI5_KKQFmFLl0mOZ6AA&index=14&t=0s
Masks: Mine, and that one Ting Ting mask is Pastards'

Here's a second bunch of Nita masks. Pls credit me if you use them!

Mediafire link:

Worst Of You || Asenath x Queen Tuya

Grumpyblues 2020-08-24 | Look, I had all these Asenath masks lying around and then Kristinart_18 released some Queen Tuya masks so what was I supposed to do???

I made this hot mess over the course of a few hours and honestly I dont know what the fuck I just made either, but I kinda like it.

As for any kind of plot, I just rlly like the dynamic of someone loving their ruler even when the person is a shitbag to them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Masks: Mine, KristinArt_18

4K Subs Gift || Asenath Masks

Grumpyblues 2020-08-22 | This is my first time rotobrushing pls dont notice all my horrible mistakes

Thanks for 4k subs, guys!

Pls credit me if you use the masks, but more importantly link me to what you make with them bc I desperately want people to use Asenath more :'D

(If you're looking for a good downloader for this video, 4K Downloader is great)

Just to be Quiet || Nita x Little Creek

Grumpyblues 2020-07-17 | You know what that Adele song says; "Sometimes it lasts in love, and sometimes you fall in love with a firebending ghost."
EDIT: Thanks for fucking the resolution, Youtube. Real neat-o of you.

This started as random scrap of practice for using AE and Boris FX, but then I started to really like the plot that was forming, so here you go:

PLOT: A young waterbender is out having a good time when she see's the spirit of a young man watching her. After a bit of a freak-out she's skeptical of him, but when she finds his remains, he tells her of how he died- he was like her, shot by a colonist who saw him bend fire.
They begin to feel a deep connection, but she helps him move on by burning his old amulet. They say goodbye, and she mourns him until she gets a little sign that it's going to be okay.

Note: I don't mean 'bender' in an ATLA way, its just a handy word to describe it.

Other stuff:
Masks by: Meeee, Airasora, Pastard, Blissbirdie, TheNamelessDoll.

Nita Masks (Unfinished)

Grumpyblues 2020-06-16 | So sometimes your laptop starts to die and you have to jump ship.

These are a small collection of unfinished masks I was making for BeautifulDreamers ROTM RP- they were supposed to be a late 'thanks for 3k' gift as well as an aid for the RPers to use in their scenes.

This is what I had done, so I'm just scrambling it together and throwing it up.

Love you all, hope it helps someone. xxx

All That Remains: RP Winner Announcement

Grumpyblues 2020-05-05 | Congratulations to TheCynder12, as the winner of All That Remains! Her videos were consistently impressive, both with the editing and storytelling elements, and we're delighted for her to take the title.

We've made it, folks, a year and bit after it started.
A huge thankyou to all the people who worked so hard on this RP, and to our three finalists: BlackMoonsDaughter, Skydol and TheCynder12.

And of course to my fab judges- EvilSquirrilQueen, PrincesStarlight, AnneLabyrinth and Jujubee... I could not have done this without your help. Thank you for putting up with this first-time RP host and for your support and guidance.

All That Remains was a story about 10 ghosts trying to find their lost friend, and getting involved in a mess of dark magic, betrayal, and demonic pacts along the way. While I have some ideas for videos exploring the after events of the RP, this marks the official end of ATR. Thank you for watching, I love you and Goodnight.

And for those of you wondering 'Why did it say 10 ghosts, but there was 11 ghosts on the cards?' Blame Pastard and her plot twists.

Anyone Else || Chel x Kida || MEP Part

Grumpyblues 2020-04-19 | This is for Amani's fab 'Anyone Else' MEP, and it's about toxic femslash relationships but uh, I just sort of got excited about lesbian wizards and ran with it.

PLOT: Kida's dabbling in some dark magic. Despite Chel's worries,she performs a ritual and instantly gets possessed. Chel saves her with some rad arcane skills, and as Kida recovers, Chel comforts her gf with a 'ahaha u fuckin dumbass I told you so' and shows her the possessing spirit, now locked away.

I guess the toxic nature is neither of them respecting the others opinions or emotional state. But they're magic and gay, they'll figure it out.

This is one of those MEP parts where I'm not happy with but like, if I work on it any longer I will actually go insane, so here you go.

Masks: Mine, Blissbirdie, Varroman, TheNamelessdoll, Lambydance and 2009JoRose

Brand New|| Jane x Amelia || MEP Part

Grumpyblues 2020-04-07 | Look sometimes you're quarantined and all you want is some soft fluff about lesbians falling in love in a bakery okay.

This is for BeautifulDreamers 'Brand New' MEP, with the theme of 'Someone finds their colour when they fall in love.'
Basically, Amelia's local baker flirts with her just enough for Amelia to catch feels and then hey, Jane loves her too so happy days.

Why doesn't Jane also change colors when she falls in love? Bc it's a thing Amelia's species does, don't @ me.

And My Coffees Cold || Vent

Grumpyblues 2020-04-03 | So my boss casually texted me after work to tell me that I was unemployed, how was your day?

Yeah, it's been a shit, shit week.
I slapped this together today because I needed a way to express myself that wasn't texting my boss to go shove her head up her own hoop.

There isn't much of a concrete story with this one, but the theme is.... struggling to deal with feeling lost, underappreciated and cast aside. And trying to find a bit of hope for better days.
However you interpret that within the video is up to you.

(.n.)

You & I || Lottie/Helga || MEP Part

Grumpyblues 2020-03-08 | This is for WCRfan's MEP, and yes I'm using Helga again even though she has ZERO romantic scenes but my gay ass demands more Helga/Lottie so here you go.

Theme: Royal is in love with their Guard.

Plot: Lottie is a princess, engaged to the most eligible prince. Helga, her bodyguard, overhears her tearfully praying for a way out, confessing her secret love for Helga. So Helga decides hey, the best way to get Lottie out of this engagement is if Naveen just fuckin DIES.
So she tries to drop-kick him off a balcony but it goes wrong. Lottie sees the entire thing, runs to the injured Helga'a side and confesses her love.
Then she dumps Naveen's ass and starts seeing Helga, who is recovering in hospital.

The moral of this story is even if you're rich and beautiful and charming your girl will still dump you for Helga Sinclair.

All That Remains Round 5 : The New Ways

Grumpyblues 2020-01-22 | And it's finally here! The final Round!!!

Congrats to TheCynder12 [Belle] , Skydol [Dimitri] and BlackMoonsDaughter [Jasmine] as our three finalists!
It was a close call for the final three contestants, but we're happy with our decisions, and can't wait to see what comes of it.

The round was a lot more interactive and the plot was partly based off of player decisions [some current and some previous], so some things are left vague til the actual round submissions.

I'm excited for this to finally be uploaded, so here's the final Round:

Grumpyblues 2020-01-06 | What no there are no problems with this video it's perfect shut ya mouth

I mean to get this done weeks ago but uh, I did not. Here you go.

This is my second part for this MEP, the first being about a weary lesbian just trying to live her life but guys keep hitting on her. This one is about a weary farmer trying to live her life but guys keep hitting on her.
And maybe she's also a lesbian, who knows.

Somewhere Only We Know || Jane Porter/John Rolfe

Grumpyblues 2019-12-16 | [[Re-uploaded because a mistake was driving me mental]]
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Sometimes it's been a rough week so you need some editing therapy with some schmoopy wedding goodness. And sometimes all those ships in the video are vaguely related to a certain non/disney rp.

Anyways here's everyone having a fab time.

Masks are Mine, Varoman, RandomNamelessChannel, BlissBirdie, Pastard, EvilSquirrilQueen, LadyRose, TheQuietWierdo17 and AiraSora!

Sallys Song || Pocahontas/ Tzekel-Khan || +13

Grumpyblues 2019-11-24 | +13 for Gore and Horror Elements

Anyways this is an MEP part for LadyoftheSea. Why is there one weird scene with an ill-fitting zoom? Because I'm tired, shut up.

Plot: Poca is a homeless beggar who is taken in by a wealthy man and given a luxurious life. She develops feelings for him and then promptly finds the portraits and bodies of young women he has taken in and murdered.
Girl nopes the fuck out of there and accepts that her wonderful new life is over.

Masks by the usual wonderful suspects: NamelessDoll, Var, Animefreaknya, Blissbirdie and also me.

Shes so Lovely || Helga x Tiana

Grumpyblues 2019-10-23 | Asmeeria has got me weak for her Helga/Tiana AU, so here's a thing I threw together last night of a maybe-spy hitting it off with a cute waitress and convincing her to ditch work for a date.

My common sense: Helga has like no footage, stop editing with her.
My gay-ass brain who remembers Helga being my first crush as a kid: ( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o)

[I love these two pls lets make this pairing a thing.]

Give Your Heart and Soul || Jasmine/Mulan/Shang

Grumpyblues 2019-10-19 | Breaking news: Local woman will not stop editing with Mulan.

PLOT:
Jasmine is a princess who wants to explore outside the palace. Her guard, Shang, feels sorry for her, but the Emperor says nah, so she stays inside.
Jasmine says fuck that noise, and sneaks out. She meets Ping and they escape some trouble, and the two start to hang out as Ping starts showing her the city.
The two start to spend more time together and catch the feelings but back in the palace one day she comes across Shang and his new wife Mulan who...oh shit, is Ping.
Mulan/Ping tries to explain, but heartbroken, Jasmine runs off.
In the garden, Ping tries to explain to her that she sometimes feels like Mulan, and sometimes she feels like Ping, but upset at having fallen for a married person and feeling lied to, Jasmine tells her to get lost.
Shang finds Mulan in their apartment where Mulan confesses to being in love with Jasmine too, and Shang goes to talk to Jasmine, who's pining for her lost love.
They chat and he explains that they're in an open relationship, and that Mulan really loves her.
Jasmine starts to understand, and when Mulan shows up, Jasmine embraces her and thanks Shang for bringing them together.
Then her and Mulan get married and they start their new life as a poly gang!

TL:DR - Girl loves Girl who is sometimes a Boy who loves Girl but also loves Boy and then everyone loves each other.

Other notes:

Jasmine and Shang are not necessarily 'together' at the end of the video, but they both love and respect each other and the others relationship with Mulan/Ping. So they make it work and will grow closer in time.

The Emperor is Jasmines Grandfather.

Mulan/Ping is genderfluid, and often escapes the palace and its restrictive roles in order to be Ping.

Thats it! Thanks for watching!

Who I am|| Frollo Origin AU ft. Aladdin || MEP Part

Grumpyblues 2019-09-13 | I genuinely hate this but I haven't uploaded some Non/Disney stuff in ages so here is my part for PrincesStarlights' 'Who I Am' Villain MEP.

Plot:
Frollo (Aladdin) is a young Romani street rat, who often gets into trouble with the city guard for defending the woman he loves and other street folks from their predjudices.
One day while he's cooling off in a cell, a demon offers him a deal: To be a wealthy and powerful man so he can give Esme the safe and happy life she deserves, all for the price of his soul.
He agrees, and the demon transforms him into a wealthy and powerful person: a judge of the city, and a non-Romani.
But without his soul, he doesn't have love or a conscience any more, and is twisted by his power and the cities strict religion into a monster who ends up killing the woman he loves and wreaking havoc across his home city.
Which ofc was what the demon wanted all along.

In other news, I couldn't make this a normal origin story, no. Don't be ridiculous.

Masks by Namelessdoll and Varroman. Minor masks done by me.

All That Remains Round 4: Isabelle

Grumpyblues 2019-09-02 | Bleurgh the cover photo is all pixely for some reason but ignore that and welcome to the penultimate round of ATR!
We are left with our Final Five contestants, and good luck to them bc they are going to need it ;)

Round Info can be found here:
docs.google.com/document/d/1T6dy8VrKlD__an_0OHXvWekq6zc9wLEVu2vmDIqih2s/edit?usp=sharing

On a side note.. it's about time that I tell y'all that the Dean/Korso vid I did ages ago is actually the story of how ATR's Dean and Korso met.
Dean goes to a bar for some escapism drinking and sees Korso luring some hot woman home to murder and instead they get drunk and hook up instead.
(There are some occult symbols in Deans room if you look hard enough, but mostly its a tale of two awful people who get drunk and smooch.)
Watch it HERE: youtube.com/watch?v=CLetFQHOuqI

Oh, also, brownie points to those who can guess who the 'Soldier, Poet and King' from the song are in ATR ;)

Anyways, good luck!

Laeis Lullaby- Scrapped WIP [Unofficial ITC]

Grumpyblues 2019-07-31 | For those that remember La'ei, my audition for ITC, I promised a follow-up in her story. Well, this isn't really it.
BUT, this is an abandoned WIP of a night time story her mother would tell her about her father.

Because La'ei is canonically dead in the world of ITC, it wouldn't make much sense to do another video about her, but maybe there's a collab being planned involving an AU of her family where we can realize some of our plot twists, reveals, and perhaps an extra cameo of another audition ;)

TL;DR: I am too attached to this family.

;)

Inside the City Audition: Laei (Chel)

Grumpyblues 2019-06-12 | Ahaha it’d be great if I got the name of the contest right in the cover pic, wouldn’t it.

Plot:
In a town not too far from the City, La'Ei is at work entertaining the commoners. From a travelling band of Samoan entertainers, she's earning money from dancing in their dazzling 'magic' street show when her Uncle Fetu calls her away from work. He sends her to the City with prediction of a romance: her greatest wish.

Unbeknownst to her, her uncles are using her longing for romance to walk her into a trap. They've arranged with a noble contact to take La’ei as a concubine, setting the family up with enough money that the family would never starve.

La’ei bribe’s her way into the city, scoping out the crowd and immediately spotting the cute Aurora (Jujubees character) who looks bored. La’ei makes fast friends with her, unaware that she's being watched by her uncles contact.
Before her and Aurora can party and before the contact can approach, the news hits: The Emperor is dead.
And then La’ei realises she fucked up by coming here.

A few notes:
All of the tricks the performers do are sleight of hand or prop tricks. The only one to hold any sway in the family of being a bit mystical is Fetu, with his cards and predictions.

Fetu convinces her with the Empress card. But the first card he pulls is the Tower, an ill omen. He hides the card and continues, ignoring its warning.

The Empress card does not mean the actual Empress!

Her parents are no longer living and she credit's them with her fascination with true love. La’ei still prays to her mother.

Character:
Laei is a kind person at heart. Shes free spirited and a bit cheeky, but there's nothing but warmth to her. A hopeless romantic, utterly friendly and a definite risk taker, she’s the ride-or-die sort of girl. She’s 24 & has been travelling her whole life, never having been to her families home.

She Never Wanted to Leave || Pocahontas x Nakoma || MEP Part

Grumpyblues 2019-05-16 | So I don't watch GoT, but Jenny of Oldstones is fuckin fab.

This is an MEP Part for Amani, about a woman who has to leave her pals/family/lover etc but doesn't want to.

Plot: Poca is unhappily married to a wealthy man that she wed to escape poverty. After another argument, she goes to the garden and reminisces about her true love- the woman she left to marry the rich man.

This is the last vid before I buckle down and learn how to use AE, I promise. I've been using sony vegas since like.. 2010 so I'm being stubborn about making the switch.

Not super happy with it but I got a job & this it's all the time I have, folks.

Heaven Knows || Mulan x Shan Yu

Grumpyblues 2019-04-01 | Watch in 1080, it looks weird and pixelated if the resolution is any lower.

Breaking News: woman back on her Mulan/Shan Yu bullshit, more at 10.

PLOT:
One stormy night, an old woman wakes up suddenly, and instinct takes her outside, where she see’s a spectre of death. Knowing her time has come, she accepts and passes away.
In the Shrine in the old womans garden, she appears as one of the honored dead, looking the way she did when she was young.

Hurrying back into her home, she’s confronted by the paintings of her family, and as she walks through the rooms she sees her children- an older daughter and a younger son- grow up through the pictures.
At last she enters her old bedroom and sees her husband sleeping. Happy that he is safe and remembering all their good times, she’s leaves and returns to her resting place at the shrine.

But it’s not a sad ending, as the certain old husband visits her everyday for a chat. :)
The end!

"Hey Blue, why does Mulan change outfits and hairstyles so often in the video?"
Ghost powers. Idk man, I'm tired and this was my escapism from writing college essays. Ssh.

Fire On Fire || Jasmine x Cindy MEP Part

Grumpyblues 2019-03-09 | My part for Pastards' Sam Smith MEP!

THEME: Gay lovers with uninhibited love and passion towards each other. Everyone does not accept their romance, but the lovers don't care.

PLOT: When Princess Jasmine has a romantic portrait of herself and a palace servant commissioned, a noble tells her to cut that shit out.
But Jas is like 'lol go fuck yourself' and continues to shower Cindy in gifts and affection and they get married. Because they love each other and also because fuck that guy.

Anyways this song is great and this couple is great but I am in the middle of exams and I was very dumb for doing this.

Masks by the usual crowd: Me, RandomNamelessChannel, Varoman, LadyRose and AnimeFreaknya

Ocean Eyes || Jane Porter x John Rolfe

Grumpyblues 2019-03-03 | Took a quick break out of doing an assignment just to destress a little with some fluff.

I just wanted some longing hand-touches and obvious smushy pining in a sunny country home so here you go! Jane's sketch effects are sort of a mess but you get the idea, she's daydreaming via her art.

How have these two not been shipped before? I personally blame AnneLabyrinth for getting me into this ship :]

Masks are RandomNamelessChannels, Varromans, Beautifuldreamers, TheNight130's and my own.

Your place or my place || Dean X Korso || +16

Grumpyblues 2019-01-27 | This is Jujubee's fault entirely.

+16 for some vague implications of sex.

Plot: Dean heads into a club and sees Korso at the bar. He steals the guy away from a hot blonde, they get drunk together and hook up. And hey, maybe it's the start of something beautiful..

This can absolutely be just a story about two guys meeting and hitting it off, but there's some clues throughout the video (some more vague than others) that Dean and Korso are not quite your average guys. ;)

Masks belong to me, Jujubee,RandomnamelessChannel, Blissbirdie, Varroman and mnemosis DDB

All That Remains: Meet the Judges [& Deadline Updates]

Grumpyblues 2019-01-14 | Auditions are still open HERE: youtube.com/watch?v=ytHobopdfy0

Deadline for the Auditions is the start of the second week in Febuary! So there's still plenty of time to try out.

Below is going to be a character profile for each judge character:

Wendy- PrincesStarlight
Wendy is only of the only living souls that the ghosts know. She's the kind housekeeper to the Mysterious owner of the house, and despite not being physically bound there like the spirits, she's trapped there in her own way.

John Rolfe- AnneLabyrinth
John is a ghost of a lord from the Stuart period. He had the perfect family life... well that's what he wanted other people to believe anyway.

Korso-Jujubee
Korso is a charismatic man that frequents the manor, always disappearing into rooms where the ghosts cannot follow. He often brings young ladies and men back to the manor.

Vasilisa- QueenofObscurePairings
Vasilisa is a newer ghost at the manor, possessing the ability of blood magic. Her past is as murky as everyone elses at the manor.

GrumpyBlues- Jane Porter
Jane is the ghost of a young history student who was murdered in Victorian London. Shy and bookish, she has recently gone missing from the Mansion along with her artifact, leaving a mystery to be solved.

We made it through the Year || Meg x Charming

Grumpyblues 2019-01-06 | Please watch in 1080p! :D
This was my part for LadyRose's Christmas MEP and it's one of the most experimental-ish things I've ever done, and I'm super proud of it!

PLOT:
Its Christmas and Charming has stunned his wealthy parents by eloping with a peasant woman. Furious, his parents disown him, and Meg is left feeling guilty as they return to her simple home on the poorer side of town to spent the holidays.
But Charming is smitten by her and wouldn't be anywhere else- he soon cheers her up and they make their own Christmas traditions- decorating their house in lights, making cakes and snuggling in front of a fire.

Winter Wonderland || Miguel x Anastasia || MEP Part

Grumpyblues 2019-01-01 | This is a Christmas MEP part for KristinART_18!
So like... I was gonna colour this properly, and then I lost the file so I did my best with the rendered vid. So I'm not happy with this buuuuuut fuck it, its christmas. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Pretty sure the vid is Self-explanatory but Anatasia is writing a letter to her man, unaware that he is about to surprise her by coming home for Christmas.
Merry belated Christmas!

Masks belong to me, 2009JoRose, VarRoman, RandomNamelessChannel and TheNight130.

Stars||Mulan x Shan Yu|| 350 Subs

Grumpyblues 2018-12-21 | Thanks for 350 subs guys!!!!!
This is just a lil thing I whipped up last night to say thank you so much for the subs. It means a lot that so many of you write such nice comments and consider my stuff to be worth subscribing to. (And I also needed an excuse to do something fun and schmoopy like a wedding scene with these two.)

Also, thank you to Youtube for completely shagging the quality of the vid. Appreciate it.

If you need a plot to follow, Mulan is some sort of Empress, she's worried bc Shan Yu is a lil late for their wedding, but he turns up and all is well and they get married.

Masks are by Varroman and me.

Hope you enjoy!!

Giselle/Proteus || Fairytale MEP

Grumpyblues 2018-11-08 | This is my part for LadyRose’s Fairytale MEP!
The Fairytale is the Legend of Sadhbh, a favorite of mine from when I was a kid.

(If you’re wondering how to pronounce Sadhbh, say the word ‘’I’ve’ and then add a ‘S’ sound at the front. S-I’ve.. Sadhbh.)

It’s embellished quite a bit for the sake of editing, but here’s my version of the tale:

PLOT:
Sadhbh is a young woman who refuses to marry a Fey, and as punishment is cursed to be a mare. One day the mare wanders far from the Feys lands and crosses the borders into the woods of a mighty Hunter/Warrior, where the spell is broken.
The Hunter/Warrior, Fionn, sees her transform, and they fall in love.
He takes her home, they get married, and they’re happy until the Fey tricks Sadhbh out into the woods one day by pretending to be Fionn coming home from a battle.
Sadhbh runs out to meet her beloved, and is transformed back into a mare, this time with no hope of breaking the curse. :(

It ends sad! Because all Irish stories end sad! Woo!

Kamikaze || Mulan x Shan Yu

Grumpyblues 2018-10-14 | STORY IN DESCRIPTION:

»This was a request from NightMelody777, who wanted to see this song paired with a story where Shan Yu dies protecting Mulan. Hope you like it, dear!

»Secondly, this story uses a bit of deleted lore about Shan Yu. Originally in the movie, he was supposed to be a Shaman who could see through his falcons eyes.

PLOT:
Mulan visits the statue of Shan Yu day after day, mourning his loss.
-Flashback-
After saving the Chinese army from the huns, Mulan is discovered as a woman, disgraced and abandoned.

As she freezes to death in the wilderness, Shan Yu’s falcon flies over the battlefield and sees her. Shan Yu finds her, and she prepares for death, but instead he gives her a sword and a fighting chance to live.

A timeskip, and Mulan is bathed, fed and well again, warmly greeting Shan Yu as he visits her. They have become lovers in the timeskip, and on one of their travels he proposes to her with the gift of a hair piece. She accepts, and on the way back they are ambushed by rebel Huns who mutiny. They fight the traitors off and chase them across a bridge until their attackers cut the ropes and they fall.

Shan Yu see’s through his falcons eyes, and sees the rope holding them is breaking under both their weight, so he lets go to save Mulan. Horrified, Mulan watches him fall to his death.
-End Flashback-
Back in the garden, Mulan mournes under his statue when the falcon shows up.
With a flash of light it bonds to her the way it had bonded to Shan Yu, accepting her as its new master. Mulan opens her glowing eyes, imbued with the power that had once belonged to her lover.

The Shamanic Hun leader may be dead, but there’s a new leader in town.

MISC:
» So this was my most experimental video, mostly with colour; matching scenes brighteness and intensity to Mulans’ emotional state etc. Idk if it wa a success, but I like the result!

» Fun fact, the ghostly face of Shang kept fuckin rendering in between the scene cuts, and it was a pain in the ass. Get out of here, Shang.
