First, happy holidays guys!
Second, big thank you to Hannah (‪@innocencexlost2549‬) and Ines (‪@F.e.v.e.r.‬) for helping me out with this and listening to me cry almost everyday about it!!! I'm pretty sure this wouldn't have been done without you two!!! So, thank you for everything :)
And now to the video! This is for the #DSSSecretSanta and I got ‪@10thea01‬! I'm really really sorry this is so terrible and messy because your videos are great and you deserve a lot better than what I was able to give. I really struggled here to be fully honest. It took all of me to finish, but I'm glad I did in the end (with one day to spare lol, thankfully). I had such difficulty with the footage for your oc's, especially the footage for Emma since it's so rare to find. And these were the only two fandoms we had in common on your list (Daniel from witches of east end and Emma from ouatiw) and I'm just really intimidated because I'm scared you're expecting something with the dramas on your list since you listed a lot that I have no knowledge about, so I'm a bit worried. 😭 So I'm sorry about this video doesn't have any of that, truly. This is a lot, but I just wanted to apologize and explain in advance for this disaster. I'm really disappointed and embarrassed in myself to upload this, I wish I could've done and better, but this was all I could do with what I had available and I'm sorry it's so lacking and so freaking short compared to everyone else's and probably not what you expected :( I'm just really sorry from the bottom of my heart!!! I'm so sorry!!!
I did try to complete and included multiple requests you had on your list like you had the sandman on your list and I tried to make him the king in your story. I included two of your oc couples, Daniel/Emma and Roxanne/DJ (couldn't do much for Roxanne/DJ because I had no footage 😭), my aesthetics n such are so bad, but I tried. I hope this video also follows what you requested with "original story-driven video" since I tried to include a new character that I'll explain below because you said you were okay with AU's so I tried to make one :') I also tried to include some supernatural stuff, but failed aslkhg, I'm sorry alskgjdh. I failed at the high stakes romance, but there is romance in general haha! And I think I did okay with the "characters connected through fate" request :)
I think I should also explain what I was going for here too because it's already confusing to begin with so here we go:
At the beginning, I wanted to show Daniel and Emma contacted through time even though Daniel is a demon and Emma is an Angel (maybe their past lives?) and how they always find each other.
So the new character is Milla Jovovich and I see her as a Daniel's "dealer"? So she kinda tells him what to do, but he never remembers who she is because she makes him forget, but she's kinda manipulating everyone.
Then up until 0:37, it's basically how he got to the city of Monta and end up having a father/daughter relationship with Mandy.
The next kinda focuses on Emma and the King and how she was trapped wanted nothing to do with him and escaped with the help of Daniel because true love :')
The next parts are them trying to be together despite the problems that surround them along with the bits of Daniel fighting the King :)
At 1:06 I kinda change focus and switch to Emma. I wanted to show how the dealer is manipulating Emma to show that her, the king, and the dealer are all connected and should try to get rid of Daniel, but also how Emma has a "metaphorical" demon inside her. Mostly just saying she has a darkness inside of her due to her occupation as a warrior. Sprinkled in there are Daniel and Emma moments haha (along with a love confession!).
I mean the ending is the only ending I could manage to do that would be worthy of your story alghdjs. I figured Emma didn't actually "kill" him, but it was more of a dream of what she is capable of and what could be "yet to come".
That's it :D Maybe this inspires you for your story or just shows you a path you don't want to take for your story lol! Either way, I'm still really sorry it's terrible and probably not what you wanted! I hope you're having the best holiday season! Merry Christmas if you celebrate it and I hope you have the happiest new year!!!! :)
