apathy and empathy

"If I were to give you the pieces of me, could you put me back together and still call me whole?"

Okay, I lied. Closing In wasn't the next big project. But this is what happens when you listen to your iPod at three in the morning and hear 'Whats Left of Me'. It is SUCH an Axel/Roxas song it's not even funny.

I usually don't care for Nick Lachey, but this is an undeniably perfect song. Really screamed everything about a Nobody.

Song: Whats Left of Me
Artist: Nick Lachey
Clips: kh-vids.net
Program: Vegas
Time taken: 'bout a week

More to come

Like most of my Axel and Roxas videos, I take a twist on the reality of it all. Starts out as usual, Roxas struggling to remember Axel. The images become clearer.

But so do the feelings.

Axel suffers through loneliness and his memories of Roxas and his own false existence, which up until Roxas appeared, consisted of running away from the memories of his other, Reno.

In the end, Roxas remembers everything and fights for the chance to see Axel again, only to have him die. He watches Axel die before him, his memories all that's left.

oo4: Timeline to explain any confusing clips, otherwise I think you can interpret

00:27-41 Axel refusing to let Roxas go after the ol' 'No one would miss me' talk.

1:00-1:10 Roxas knows he doesn't have anything to offer Axel without his memories, but he offers what's left of him. Axel is apprehensive that it's another lie.

1:23- 1:26 Axel running from his other, Reno.

1:26-1:33 Axel and Roxas fight scene prior to 00:27.

1:45-2:00 Axel in turn offering what's left to Roxas, despite Roxas's happiness in Twilight Town

2:03-2:13 Both wanting to believe that their hearts will be reclaimed and that what they feel is not a lie

2:26-2:35 Axel's approaching death and Roxas's prescence

2:36-2:38 Roxas remembers everything and Axel's life flashes before his eyes. i.e: Roxas

3:25-4:04 Axel explains his feelings while Roxas sits beside him in his final moments, both thinking of the past and how they want more time. In the end, Axel does not blame Roxas and Roxas sheds his first tear as a Nobody for him.

RATE, FAVE, COMMENT, PL0X?!

This was a really interesting video to watch, you edited it wonderfully. And the picture at 0:39 looks like a scan from the manga. 0.o Though I'm sure it isn't right? Anyway nice video! 5/5. I talk to much.

[KaitousWish1292]

Right. I found it on photobucket. :3 Thank you very much.

[dancingflamesVIII]

OHMYGAWDOHMYGAWDOHMYGAWD.

*dies inside*

I literally used to LOATHE this song. Now I like it a little more. Your videos are so amazing my respect for the song has lifted~♥ *fave*

[KaitousWish1292]

:DD YAY! I'm glad you like it!

[MitsuruAki]

....How are you so good at this?! I am absolutely amazed. I didn't think I could fall any more in love with AkuRoku than I already am, but I was obviously so very, very wrong.  Freaking kick ass! And how the hell did you do that part with all the photos of Roxas and Axel? I'd have killed to actually see those in the game....damn. lol. You are a miracle worker and I bow to your greatness. May you continue to bless my life. lol

[KaitousWish1292]

xDD haha! Thank you! And I made that in Photoshop. :3

GOODNESS ME, WHY DON'T YOU HAVE MORE VIEWS?

I mean, seriously, this video is incredible. You make it all seem like a movie, not a video. FANTASTIC. Most people would think of this more as a SoraxRoxas thing but you turned it around and made it work so fabulously. Congrats on another great one!

[NotOver1Productions]

Beautiful. Just beautiful. I think I'm gonna cry...

[AnimeCrazedGurl]

My god, that was beautiful. I am favoriting this page so I can watch it over and over again. It's just.. I don't even think their are words to describe how great it is. 

[DarkDragonHearts]

Wow just wow...seriously the editing and the voice overs in this just astound me and the song choice is excellent since for once its a guy singing and not a girl so its more in tune and one of the best things is that everything fits but its not bursting and smuddering us with lovey doveyness since their relationship isnt. Basically awesome song choice + awesome editing + awesome pair = Epic video

[dawnofthewolves99]

what game is that on second 1:40?

[assassinAmber]

This was a wonderful video! I'm really shocked that it doesn't have any more views!

I'm not really one for yaoi, but I still loved it.

My sister is a HUGE Akuroku fan though. Imma favorite this and send it to her. =)
