24. XD Really? CC fandom has grown a lot since I was really active in it. It was veeeeerrrry obscure before, but I think it's doing better now. (There was even a Chrno Crusade secret on here last week.) And hey, one of my friends plays Rosette in Poly. I shipped her with Doumeki from XXXHolic for awhile on Poly, cause the way they were building that relationship was just... I don't know. Appealing. XD; But Rosette forgot him now, so that's it for that ship. :/ And Rosette/Laharl? That made me LOL. I can already see the clash and many Sacreds and Gospels going off, but it's interaction like that which tends to draw me in, because it's interesting. Woooo, lookit me ramble.

25. I don't think I even have the new spiffy version. XD; But yeah, those are the exact two effects I tend to use, too. Transitions for fading to/from black/white are my main effect tools (though I'll use the sepia tone if I'm doing a story-ish AMV with flashbacks and things). I see a lot of random effects lately and masking that people don't even know how to do right. It ends up looking overdone and quite frankly, completely distracting from the video flow and music.

...That's a perfect and rather accurate way to describe it. XD

24. Yeah, whenever I tell anybody I play Rosette, I then have to explain the series and her personality and tell people it's got nothing to do with Chrono Cross/Trigger, sorry. I think it has done better since the manga and anime have been released in their entirety.

...there was a secret? How on Earth did I miss that one? ;;;

I used to ship an AU version of her with an AU!Ishida Yamato from Digimon in an RP I was at, but it was that same RP that got all that wank a few days ago and I dropped because it was no longer fun. So much for that one, huh?

Actually, Rosette/Laharl is...interesting. XD; It happens in the crack continuity of one of the RPs I'm in, and there's really no romance involved - in fact, Rosette seems to have...adopted him. There's really no other word for it. She treats him like somewhat between another little brother and a friend, and Laharl can't figure out if she's mothering him or being a big sister or a friend or what. It's all damn confusing on both of their parts and Laharl-mun and I both love it to death. (Never mind that the first time they met, Rosette did try to shoot him. And they did fight like cats and dogs for a long while after that. And now that they actually care about each other, they still fight. With these two, what else could you really expect? XD;)

[/rambling]

25. Considering you're talking about using fade effects and stuff, I think you do have the new spiffy version. The old version I used to have had *nothing.* At all. Ever. And I still got a pretty good Chrno Crusade AMV out of it, go figure. Random effects do kill everything, you're right.

I'm serious. One of those and I need a dramamine before I can go back to my everyday life. XD;

I WANT YOUR ICON ;;;;;

[identity profile] serika-san.livejournal.com 2007-11-03 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
24. Wow, really? XD I must luck out, or something. Not a whole lot of people I talk to know about it, but at least a fair amount do. And there's even a CC crew on Poly. Joshua has been there for a loooong time. And there's Fiore, Rosette, and Chrno. ...There used to be an Aion, Shader, Azmaria, and Satella. But they were dropped at some point. Oh yeah, I have had a few people ask if it was connected to the CC and CT video games before. XD; ...Hmm, that's true. I confess myself much more partial to the manga, personally.

LOL! XD That would...Wow, I can't even imagine that pairing. I'd have to see it for myself. Boo on wank, though. :/ Meh. ...I almost sorta shipped Rosette with Fakir from Princess Tutu (who I happen to play on Poly), cause the two of them were just so....freaking bossy. XDDDD It was hilarious when they'd yell at each other and try to push the other one around. Plus they were full of snark, which is always good.

Wow, that's quite a relationship built there. XD Strangely enough, I could almost picture that. And it sounds like a healthy mix of cute/weird from what you've said. (Ahahaha. XDDD But that makes it all the more fun! Sometimes the best way to show someone you care is to smack them upside the head. (...Not really. XD;))

25. Maybe it is, then. XD; I didn't actually start making AMVs until a little over a year ago. I'd always been curious and even got to forming AMVs in my head, but I was always worried that it looked like something I just wouldn't be able to do. ...I'm really glad I gave it a try. XD; Despite how incredibly time-consuming it is, it's hella addictive and fun. ...Hey, even without effects at all, I'm sure great AMVs can and have been made, so that doesn't surprise me. They're definitely hard to find, though. Random effects turn me away like nothing else. And quite a few AMV-makers in my main fandom abuse them like heck. (And to this day, it boggles me how they get tons of praising comments for that kind of thing. Do rapid flashes, masks, and color effects really impress so many?) ...I'm always looking for good and not overloaded with excessive effects AMVs to watch, though. What's your YouTube username?

LOL! XD I try to content myself with shielding my eyes if I can't turn it off quickly enough. But sometimes the flashing lights still seep through. Amazing that people don't get seizures from watching some of them.

Feel free to snag it if you want. XD I believe it was made by [livejournal.com profile] metallic.

I like how you conveniently left out that Rosette and Fakir slept together on a curse day. xDDDDD *shot*

*actually used to be on Paixao, but was bad and kinda...went inactive*

...It wasn't important to their relationship dynamic? >>; Besides making them angst and avoid each other.

Re: 1, 5, 10, 23, 24, & 25

[identity profile] haleysings.livejournal.com 2007-11-03 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
...Because taking each other's virginity never changes relationships? o.o;;

[identity profile] serika-san.livejournal.com 2007-11-03 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't say that. But all it served to do in their case was set them further apart. They didn't actually build into that relationship that way and that was a mistake brought on by circumstances out of their control. Fakir also cheated on his girlfriend through that curse, which makes things all the worse.

Re: 1, 5, 10, 23, 24, & 25

[identity profile] haleysings.livejournal.com 2007-11-03 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I know it didn't help their relationship. But I still don't think I'd say it 'wasn't important'...

XDDDD It was a 'curse day'. Lust Day, to be specific. All affected characters were basically completely taken over by lust, and...yeeeeah. XD;;

^^; That played Fakir...? Yeeeeeeeeeah it's me. I'm sorry I never officially dropped? I got really busy with Poly and I guess I felt that my Fakir wasn't that good anyway. ^^;;;;; I feel bad, though, I should've dropped more properly.
kiaxet: (YAY)

[personal profile] kiaxet 2007-11-04 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
...Oh maaaaaaan. Bet that went over well once the curse wore off. XD;;;

YEAH THAT ONE HIIIIIIIIIII ♥ I was kinda worried when you disappeared - good to see you're doing well. And hon, if you ever feel like it, we'd love to see you back in Paixao and your spot's still open. :)

Re: 1, 5, 10, 23, 24, & 25

XD LOL, well, she forgot...but today's 4th Wall Day and Rosette's mun just told her.

Hi!! <3 I'm sorry I worried you all!
Really? To be honest, part of me has thought about it. XD I'm sort of overloaded at the moment, though, sadly.

Re: 1, 5, 10, 23, 24, & 25

[personal profile] kiaxet 2007-11-04 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yes you bloody well do. XD; More of the people I've met can place my Death muse (from Discworld) than can Rosette. It's quite sad, actually. XD; DEAR GOD I AM SO JEALOUS OF YOU. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY FRIEND TO BRING JOSHUA TO PAIXAO FOR MONTHS. JEAAAAAAALOUS ;;; Yeah, people hear the first word and go THEY MADE A THIRD GAME? WHAR? Um, no, not exactly, plz to be paying attention to what I am saying, thanks... And dear God, the ending of the anime was the worst I've ever seen for any story I've ever read/watched/played/even vaguely heard of. (Which is to say, I'm partial to the manga too. XD)

I still have links to the logs if you want them, though the AU I put Rosette through is pretty painful and I honestly don't think I ever did her justice. And I can so see Rosette and Fakir, especially fighting. Fakir is sulky!angry, and Rosette is BLOODY LOUD!angry. Fun all around. XD; Though I do have to ask - what're your thoughts on Rosette and Ed from FMA? Because we've done that before too, and it turned out quite well. :o

It took quite a few so-late-it's-early nights (four and seven a.m. respectively with time zone difference), but it came along quite well. XD Would you believe there's also a good amount of angst in there as well? Because we play this out in an AIM chat, so there are quite a few other characters present...Sylar has tried to take Laharl's powers by force, and Luxord has developed a very dangerous affinity for Rosette (the man has an obsession with time, draw your own conclusions). I have to wonder if the inclusion of angst makes it well-rounded or traumatizing. And can I quote you on that? Because it's brilliant. XD

25. Well, how new's your computer and what OS do you use? Because it sure does sound like the new one. And the AMV-in-the-head thing is how I started too, though my software and source material are limited, so it makes things...interesting. XD; You're absolutely right, though, it really is a ton of fun. I need to finish that one I've got sitting on my hard drive half-finished. It's only been a year...I've got a minute of song left to do and that's it...cursed lack of work ethic. :/

There are quite a few good AMVs out there that use few if any effects. There are two multifandom ones that are excellent: Jihaku uses only a few effects and mostly makes use of fast pacing and clips from dozens of different shows, and Tearstained Hearts tells touching stories from...four, I think it was...different shows. I'm pretty sure they're both on AMV.org. Definitely worth a look.

Some of those AMVs look like the creators spent the entire time going " ooh, what does this button do?" and setting it to a random song. I don't necessarily want things cohesive - at this point, I'd settle for something that won't burn my eyes out.

OH SWEET *goes to do so*

...um. Can I friend you? :D;

I'm on YouTube, and I'm on AMV.org...thing is, I never uploaded anything I did because Ordinary (the aforementioned Chrno Crusade AMV) still needs a bit of editing on the signature and I don't have the footage with me so that won't happen for a good month or so and I never really had the time to do it over the summer because of work and EVERYBODY DOES IT BETTER THAN I DO ;;;;;;;
