I recommend downloading it as the YouTube quality could be better. ^^;;


"Charm Attack" - Leona Naess
Kyoya/Haruhi
Dedicated to Nyanto

(AU Vid) Haruhi reminisces on her relationship with Kyoya Ohtori, the Shadow King of Ouran High. Despite his cold actions, she is drawn to him and his hidden kindness. He is both possessive and distant, but she doesn't mind. However, Kyoya's determination to be the best, no matter what, outshines even his affection for Haruhi. The two slowly fall for each other and start an intimate relationship, but Kyoya only ends up hurting her as he denies his feelings. Haruhi is not immune to his charm, even after all they've been through. In the end, she remembers all their especially important moments, and cries in her sleep over what could have been.


Notes: The summary is more background info for the video than anything linear as the video doesn't really follow it straight-on. ^^;; And yeah, the lyrics are kinda wacky, but what drew me to the song the most is the "Watch out, he'll charm you" line especially. Originally, Tamaki was going to be featured, but as you'll see, Kyoya fits more with the lyrics. Also, I made his "weed" his money instead. Just go with it. XD Lol.
This was supposed to be sorta bittersweet, but I don't think it really came across too well. I guess I'm a bit rusty in terms of making Ouran AMVs. *sigh* Well, hope you enjoy anyway!



For those who have requested a drabble from me - guess what? I'm actually well on my way with writing them! *_* Yay! You'll probably get 'em by the end of the week as I have a final plus an interview on Thursday. And unfortunately, I'm a perfectionist as well. >>;;

So far, my list is -
Sora/Riku (Kingdom Hearts) - akito_aya
- Almost done!
Tamaki/Kyoya (Ouran Koukou Host Club) - subu
- Ideas are bouncing in my head with this one.
Itachi/Sakura (Naruto) - yoko_chan
- Gah, my brain broke. XD But I look forward to challenging myself with this!
Tamaki/Usagi (Ouran Koukou Host Club/Sailor Moon) - commaqueen
- I am sooo looking forward to writing this.

Much better turnout than I expected. (I only expected like one person actually. XD)

Anyways, if you want to request a drabble from me, go to my post here. For those who have never read my writing before, check out this tag for my Ouran fanfics.

Whoa! An excellent amv! Thank you! <3<3<4 The song is one of my favourites from long ago ^^ Man, I want to watch Ouran again~

[krysyuy.livejournal.com]

Yay, thank you for your comments on the vid. ♥ And I'm really glad you like the song - I wasn't sure if people would like it or not. ^^;;

I need to rewatch Ouran... like have an Ouran marathon. *___*

Thanks again for commenting!

I'm also so in love with your "So in love with two" video <3<3<3

[svalar-unnir.livejournal.com]

Fantastic video!

[krysyuy.livejournal.com]

Thanks~! ♥

Beautiful icon, btw. ^_~

I so need to watch this video. Maybe I'll have some time in between classes. What the hell, who knows. I'm glad you're looking forward to writing the drabble. :D Also, if you finish these okay and aren't feeling too busy/stressed... can I request another? XD Sorry, I'm super greedy... I get a miracle-gift and the first thing I ask is "can I have more?" XDD Anyway... hoping you're having a fabulous.

[krysyuy.livejournal.com]

When you do, be sure to check out my new TamaHaru one as well. ^_~

As for the drabble, I'm really trying to come up with a believable and funny scenario for Tamaki and Usagi to run into each other. ^^ I'm wondering if Tamaki knows about the prize machines at such a place as the Crown Arcade. XP

Lol, don't worry about being greedy. If I feel up to it, I'll totally be willing to write you another request. ^_~ I need something to get the creative juices flowing again anyway. Hehehe...

Thanks for the comment! *glomps*

Wonderful job on the amv's I loved it... I'm also a big KyouyaxHaruhi shipper so made me even more happy!

[krysyuy.livejournal.com]

Heehee, yay~! ^___^ So happy you liked the vid!

I need to expand on my KyoHaru shipperness, so expect another KyoHaru AMV from me in the future! ^_~

[obsessive-a101.livejournal.com]

YAY!

I LOVED that AMV. You probably just think it could be better because you're the one who made it. :P Ain't that always the way.

But seriously, I thinked you picked out great footage of Kyouya to use. Usually people just keep using the major scenes over and over until you get sick of seeing them, but you pieced together a nice range of Kyouya moments. And I loved the use of their bedroom scene, how you split it up and molded the rest of Haruhi's thoughts around that one moment. Nice. Very great AMV. 'Twill go on my favorites!

[krysyuy.livejournal.com]

Thank you SO much for your comment on the vid. It was really nice to read, and I appreciate you taking the time to talk about it. ♥ Most don't even bother. >>;;

Hehehe, yeah, that is always the way. XD There's always something I think could make it better, but I feel like I get lazy towards the end. ^^;;

Anyways, I'm really happy you pointed out what footage I used. As an avid AMV watcher before I started making them myself, I know how redundant and boring an AMV can get (especially a pairing one) when you see the same footage over and over if it isn't cut creatively. I always look for the more obscure moments (aka both characters are in the same frame XD) and try to use those when possible, even if it's not one of the more popular scenes. I was probably influenced by my Buffy and Angel AMV watching days as many video makers from that fandom have to get creative when cutting scenes for pairings that seem like they have no contact whatsoever.

Anyways, yeah, Kyoya and Haruhi is an especially hard pairing to vid simply for the fact that it doesn't have as many moments as TamaHaru (and TamaHaru has A LOT of moments). The bedroom scene is what people use most, so I tried to take full advantage of it without using it all up at the same time. ^_^

And wow, my reply just got monstrously big. Ack, sorry about that. >>;;

Thanks again for your lovely comments! ♥

[slvrsolealchmst.livejournal.com]

You're welcome for the lovely comments? Hehe. XD

I actually liked hearing your response in detail. Making AMV's is something I've always wanted to try myself. I hear songs everywhere and immediately I begin choosing scenes in my head, cutting them together, placing them with certain beats in the music, deciding whether I want them black or white...

Until I've got a whole freakin' project in my brain. And then I can't make it because I don't have the tools, skills, or time. So mostly I just like to hear about how others work through the process. (And of course I like to watch them.) Sometimes I can relate because I'm an enthusiastic writer, so I know fanfiction can get the same way with the overuse of certain scenarios...

Basically, it takes talent to utilize those more subtle moments, and often it's those moments brought to life and expanded upon that make the veiwer (or reader) giggle with glee. You've got the talent. Keep up the good work!
