Call of the Sirens (Dark AU AMV)

THE MUSIC AND CLIPS USED IN THIS VIDEO DO NOT BELONG TO ME.

My 15th PT AMV - a dark AU centered around Fakir/Ahiru and Mytho/Rue. This is a story AMV, so please read the description below or you won't understand it. ^^;

Song: Check opening credits

A "siren" is a mythical creature, said to look like a woman but with features of bird. Their song is said to lure sailors' ships off of cliffs or into shipwrecks of some sort. I thought I would play with the very base of that idea and tweak it a bit:

So this is like an Alternate Story, dark in nature (which really fits the tone of the song). Drosselmeyer decides to write Ahiru and Rue into swan and raven Sirens (Tutu and Kraehe, respectively). As their human counterparts, they meet and become attracted to Fakir and Mytho, who likewise seem to return that attraction. But this has been planned by Drosselmeyer, and he brings the Siren alter-egos into play, who use not their voices, but their dance to draw the attention of Fakir and Mytho (through dream sequences and callings). Meanwhile, Ahiru and Rue are somewhat conscious of what's happening and try to fight against their other selves in order to save the boys they love. But Fakir and Mytho become completely enamoured with Tutu and Kraehe (and they do not connect them to the other girls ), and reject Ahiru and Rue completely in favor of the mysterious dancing bird-like girls. But little do they know where their fate is headed...

This was redone one and a half times and it was really, really hard to do with all the different beats going in the music. But I tried my best. I hope it makes sense? ^^; If not, be free to tell me. I apologize for the length of the song, but cutting out one of the refrains would have screwed up the whole thing. Feedback would be much appreciated!

And here's the lyrics if you were curious (guys's voice is in brackets):

Theatre of Tragedy - Siren Lyrics

Haste not thine wisdom, for the hollow is ta'en -
By whom, know I not; 'lack! am I of twain -
And as a crux - cede I my words -
[Fro my heart--wilt thou ne'er]
Have I been 'sooth sinsyne.
[Be left without - come!]

[Thine voice is oh so sweet,] I speer thine pine,
[Ryking for me:]
Ryking for thee;
Wistful, whistful -
[((List and heed)) thou say'st]
Chancing to lure.
[Chancing to lure,]
Skirl and skreigh, but for thine ears, aye, lown 'tis -
Dodge na 'way herefro, do come here in eath!

Mayhap lured by the scent of lote -
'Od! - the foetid - eft hie back I mote;
For what I did my soul atrounced,
[How I wish--for thee again,]
O! do believe me, 'twasn't a frounce.
[Will I give thee it--Troth.]

[Thine voice is oh so sweet,] I speer thine pine,
[Ryking for me:]
Ryking for thee;
[((List and heed)) thou say'st ]
Wistful, whistful -
[Chancing to lure.]
Chancing to lure,
Skirl and skreigh, but for thine ears, aye, lown 'tis -
[Thine voice is oh so sweet]
[Ryking for me:]
Dodge na 'way herefro, do come here in eath!

Princess Tutu and the song do not belong to me. It's just for fun, folks.

I'm suprised someone had the sence to make a tutu vid to T.O.T, And to make it this captivating, and that understandable to people who look underneath, It is a pure god send! I Think this is one of the most meaningful AMV's i have ever had the pleasure of seeing!

[Shiirahime]

Thank you very much and I'm really glad that you think so! I had a lot of fun brainstorming and creating, so I'm really glad you enjoyed what I've done with it. ^^

[RosemaryBats]

This is amazingly wonderful, and has gotten me imagining an idea for an AU of a totally different anime now (Utena). If I ever get around to making a video of my idea, I'll put it as a video response and credit you for inspiration. ^_^ I'd never thought of making an AU for anything until I saw this, so THANK YOU!

[Shiirahime]

Thank you very much. And I'm honored to have inspired you, so good luck with that. ^^

[OuranHazuki77]

OMG... that was the best AU video I've ever seen. It seriously gave me the chills. I really enjoyed the way you made Kraehe and Tutu seem evil... awesome job! ^_^ 5/5 and favorited!

[TheTzzaa]

loooooooooooooooooooool omg rofllllll! Waht a bummer!!!!

ridiculous!

[Shiirahime]

@nikoninja16 In this case, like I said, the call is a dance. And it begins with the two in question calling out through a dream sequence by way of their dancing. It doesn't have to be a verbal song.

[Shiirahime]

@nikoninja16 Did you even read the video description? I borrowed the concept. And in this video, the sirens DANCE, not sing.

Every time I watch this video my fingers just itch to write! If only it were to write the fan fiction I was currently working instead of writing out this one. It's beautiful, simply beautiful. The tragedy Drosselmeyer had longed for came to fruition but it's just so breathtakingly beautiful that I can't truly mourn it.

[brycecakes]

You have no idea how much I love this music video, it's just so original and beautiful and the darker take on Princess Tutu is just wonderful.

[phantomphan28]

this video is absoltuely AMAZING! it gave me an idea for a Dark Shadows fanfic. Is it okay if i use your idea? I'll give you credit for the original plot.

[xXxNightmarexXx1026]

I thought this was put together amazingly well. bravo! ^^

[AmayaAwakaru]

I think I might have commented on this before, but oh well. xD This is the tragedy that Drosselmeyer wanted so badly. It's amazingly done and I still get chills every time I watch it. It takes a good amount of imagination to imagine this kind of plotline; I wouldn't have been able to come up with this without any help~ x3
