Just because the old voices shut up doesn't mean they go away.
When she left her grand aventure behind in the city of Neverwinter, Dante Winterheart thought she was done with destiny and the usual heroics that came with it. However, all it takes is a bit of rotten luck, an ancient artifact, and a sinister plan before a familiar old burden falls back onto her shoulders.

Written after my friends dragged me to my first rave (and last) back in 2005 in the wee hours of morning. This is what it felt like.

Now this one convinced me
I loved the awkward beginning. I think this video did a much better job at adverticing for their relationship. And as it shows from D'Artagnan's POV, we get to see more of his more appealing sides and see his feelings for her. This one defeinitely convinced me and makes me wonder if maybe I should add this show to my list of shows to watch. Just maybe. We'll see ;)
Well done, I really liked this video.
Re: Now this one convinced me
Thanks misskitten. I'm glad I won you over with D'Artagnan. lol It would be a shame if I didn't, seeing as he's my favourite character and I wouldn't be able to present him in a favourable light!
And if you are interested in the series, please pm and let me know. I might be able to hook you up with a way to watch it :)
Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Fast Favorite!
*standing ovation* Bravo! Bravo! Daring, you did a wonderful job with this Young Blades video. The song is perfect for them too. They're to hard heads that collide all right.
One thing I particularly enjoyed were the several scenes you slipped in that would immediately bring a smile to the fan's faces: those onions, the horses' rump scene, d'Artagnan's cottage dream, brothers but not arms scene, etc.
And you dedicated it to us! Aw, you brought a tear to my eye. *still clapping wildly*
Re: Fast Favorite!
I'm glad you think it did our favourite couple some justice, Jean! :) Thanks for your comments!
I have to say that I love this song…
I have to say that I love this song and it's been forever that I've listened to it. Nice job on this! I loved it even though I'm not familiar with the fandom!
Re: I have to say that I love this song…
Thanks for your comment. I'm happy you liked it! :)
I've read some Young Blades fanfic…
I've read some Young Blades fanfic courtesy of jeantre16, so I had the barest glimmer of what the show was about, but this video really clarifies things. I do wonder how anyone bought that she's a man, though. lol. Nice job with the video, I enjoyed it.
Re: I've read some Young Blades fanfic…
Like I mentioned to Karracaz, it's a matter of perspective. In the 17th Century, if you said you were a man, and you dressed like a man, you were a man. No questions asked. The idea of cross-dressing was just that unfathomable. In fact, there's a huuuge list of women in history that got away with this. :)
And yes, Jeantre16's fics are a great place to start if you want to get an idea of what the show is about...Especially "Woke Up Dreaming"
Thanks for the review, maryilee! :)
Re: I've read some Young Blades fanfic…
There is a scene in the DVD extra footage where Jacqueline explained to d'Artagnan that she told their captain she was a noble because nobles looked like women. lol
Re: I've read some Young Blades fanfic…
Jean, really?! Aww, I want that DVD!!!
Nice
I really like this, and it definitely made me interested in Young Blades...I love the song and you picked wonderful clips for it. I particularly love the one you used for "you make a first impression" lol. Great work!
Re: Nice
Haha, I'm glad you liked it, flash! Although that 'first impression' bit really was... well... his first impression :P
Wow..
That was really great, i loved it.
I hope you make some more videos :D
really good!!
Re: Wow..
WMM just pooped on me and I don't think I have the patience to go back and attempt the whole process again... maybe if I find a better program....
But I'm glad you enjoyed it, annuka! It's great that you've found you're way to Fanlib too! :)
Even with an uncooperative Windows…
Even with an uncooperative Windows Movie that was still great Daring. Made me wish I had time to watch my DVDs. - Dani
Re: Even with an uncooperative Windows…
Thanks Dani! :) I hope that by putting up this video, I can get some people to realize what a wonderful series this is!
I Always Wonder...
How women dressed up as men ever get away with it, especially when as beautiful as this! I've never seen Young Blades but your video certainly made this look interesting. Does she have to stick on that beard every day?
Re: I Always Wonder...
That's because we're looking at it from a modern perspective. Back in the day (or in this case, the 17th century France) if you said you dressed like a man, you were a man. If you dressed like a woman, you were a woman. Crossdressing was unheard of, with little exceptions. Mind you, it's not like her 'squeaky' voice and awkward masculine gait *don't* invite suspicion, but for the most part, everyone seems blissfully unaware of Jacqueline's disguise.
As for the goatee, she didn't have it when the series began..it just sort of appeared in the last few episodes. And yes, she does have to stick it on everyday; she's living in a garrison full of musketeers and leading a day-to-day life as a male soldier. It's rare to see her in her 'feminine' ensemble (much to D'Artagnan's disappointment, of course! :P )
I'm glad you enjoyed this! If you're interested in taking a peak of the show, drop me a pm, I can direct you to where you can glimpse it. :)
