[@mikeage9824]

Nothing makes me happier that the character genius of Percy is reaching a wider audience. One of my favorite characters of all time especially in the real campaign

[@blackfire1206]

I feel like they did his story too quick and that demon not gone just because he throw his gun in some acid

[@Totonatiq]

Percy's story & background are giving me so many ideas for a "FIEND patron" Warlock character, who's made deal with a "fiend" (devil) for power to fuel her/his vengeance towards the people who wronged/hurted/betrayed them, such a good character!!!

[@ManySighs]

it does not even have to be a warlock, people often forget that you can be powered by/ trapped by a "fiend" of some sort with out being a warlock, the warlock part only comes if they grant you magic powers, in this case Percy's fiend grants him more of a technological iginuity type of gift, no to day your idea was bad or anything, i have had some charicters based of simular ideas

[@phoenixfire9345]

@@ManySighsI don’t remember if it is elaborated on much in the show, but that ingenuity is all Percy. He had the idea for the pepperbox on his own, it just wasn’t working. Then he made the subconscious pact with Orthax, who gave Percy the little bit of inspiration necessary to get it working properly. In return, all the souls of those he kills with it go to Orthax (with, perhaps, some notable exceptions). That’s just from what I remember though, so it might not be entirely correct.

[@robaldddd]

honestly editing the beats of the song with the timings/sounds of the pepperbox being pointed at the camera or a person is so good *chefs kiss* MWA

[@bfalves780]

Right, just amazing!!!

2:06 is SO good the sound effects ON BEAT and then Percy's "Son of a bitch!" at the drop is INCREDIBLE

[@1amwatching]

Not me watching the first season 20 times over just for Percy

[@C_A_I_N_N]

what i love most about him is i remember someone mentioning i think having made a campain set in the vox machina world where percy wasnt saved by his friends and fell to the corruption of orthax completly becoming orthax's disciple and starting a cult based around orthax who through said cult gained enough power under a name chosen by himself that he became a god like the traveler as he became known as the collector and percy and the other disciples made it their goal to collect souls for him.

[@swiftwolf2950]

Congrats! After years of waffling, this finally convinced me to watch the show!

[@BUNDMEizee]

Same!! and watching the series was worth it!! (in my opinion) (hope you enjoyed the show T0T)

[@emissary8071]

The "dark" bits being paired with List's gunshots or being aimed at someone is so amazing and I love the timing of the frames. "My devils they whisper in my ear" and Orthax is at Percy's side, "Deafening me with all my fears" and it's his family dying, oh my god it's wonderful!!!

[@SaltySweetRen]

This is my first time hearing this song, and I know if I hear it outside of this video it'll sound incomplete without the perfectly timed gunshots and Percy's voice lines. This video is pure perfection!

[@cadenmcerlean4920]

I have done the exact same thing as you and can confirm it feels weird without the gunshots

[@bfalves780]

I agree, I can't hear this song without the Clip, it feels like something is missing ...

[@azazeltheundyingdamienkali5700]

It definitely feels incomplete without "SON OF A BITCH!", I'll tell ya that.

[@the_diseasedwits]

This gave me CHILLS. The timing, the song choice, the voiceovers. It's perfect.

[@AmethystOcean98]

"Darling, take off the mask." This is so brilliant and beautiful and so so so SO AMAZING. I loved every moment of it.

[@bfalves780]

It was amazing in the animation and the OG stream was pretty good too ( idk if you watch the stream)

Even vengeance can consume the kindest of hearts, and percy de rolo is that very example and this song shows it perfectly

[@attilakovacs5040]

Well...yes,indeed....even the purest hearts can be consumed by the darkest things imaginable to human feelings.

[@Arkylie]

I love running across fanvids with real artistry to them. Thoughtful combinations of lyrics and footage, working things out to the beat, strategic use of words both visual and audio... this is gorgeous.

[@efthalia6624]

Orthax and Percy altogether makes him an even more interesting character. Wish we could see more of them together.

[@papounator8843]

Have you watched Critical Role's Campaign 1 by any chance? Just wondering.

[@Noob_uno]

@@papounator8843I mean, Percy and orthax don’t interact a lot on screen, maybe more in depth of their relationship, or just see some of the tactics orthax uses to manipulate Percy. Other than something to do with the murder of his family.

[@vimtocat1741]

I just finished season 1 around a few hours ago and started season 2 with a friend and I got hooked.

[@ghostlyguy.]

Honesty, the sound of pepper box and percys dialogue over the song makes me like it more than the original.

[@Zebulization]

Yep, this is one of those transformative works that allows an artist use a song without buying the lisence to the song.

[@thekatwarriorart]

I cannot tell you how many times I've watched this AMV. It's amazing. the timed sound effects, Percy's voice clips being used so well. Fantastic.

[@william123agentkilla]

Percy story background and progression is what I strive for as a dm

[@Imogen89037]

This This is perfection In so many ways

[@christianmathisenjr1800]

Cool AMV. Song choice feels right for Percy and good, solid editing. Keep up the solid work.

[@kristinprellwitz2101]

This is quite possibly the best Percy edit out there, it’s my favourite for sure. The synchronicity with the lyrics and how they connect seemingly perfectly to each scene just drives me crazy. The video’s an absolute masterpiece and perfectly symbolizes Percy’s gradual pursuit into madness in the twelfth episode, with everything leading up to it. You can see how torn he is already, but the reinforcement of the song just speaks to the audience on a whole new level. I even experimented with this video, muting the original audio and playing “Warriors” by Imagine Dragons over it just out of curiosity, and that song works perfectly with the video too. The craftsmanship of each scene is just amazing. It will satisfy any listener and the only flaw is that it’s just not long enough. Perfect song choice and superb editing skills, very impressive.

[@bazingo5610]

genuinely the original song feels like its missing something. from the editing to the sound mixing, this is absolutely perfect

[@samv.l.5819]

For real well done with this edit, it's a crazy good series and has super good characters especially Percy so I'd say well done because it really grasps the demon aspect of Percy

[@CaptainSelenewerewol]

Omg this is beautiful! Your timing is so perfect and I think this song fits Percy well

[@foillion]

The part where the video rotates in like the rotation of the barrels in his gun is fucking genius and something I missed on my first 10 times through. This is fucking excellence!!!

Holy shit the editing in this is incredible. The way the beata synchronized with the percussion of the gun, the way the visuals moved to the beat perfectly, the small graphics added in for the lyrics, the pacing, the sound design (particularly the parts that were muted versus the ones that were kept in) oh it gave me chills. This is the best example of how to edit to music it's so good

[@dragnfly111]

Amazingly edited! Percy is a favorite. I absolutely love this. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@WCRfan126]

*kicks down door* I'VE FINISHED THE SHOW SO I CAN FINALLY COMMENT ON THIS!!! I was already massively in love with this video before having watched TLOVM and now after seeing it I love it EVEN MORE!!! Hnnnggg Stacy your lyric and beat matching only improves!!! This song so perfectly captures the madness inside of Percy and how deeply he seems to struggle with it, and you just emphasize it so freaking well. Need to point out my favorite bits: 0:20 Having faded versions of his family and the Briarwoods beside him with "shadows that dance in my headspace". I know you masked out Percy and put the scenes behind him and it looks SO CLEAN!!! 0:25 Zooming in on the gun and having the background burn away from Percy and the Briarwoods. That effect is so good I legit thought that was real until watching the show like holy shit the absolute dedication you did fro the visuals in this??? Of course the sound effects on the beats is to be noted! Always using those gunshots to your advantage! 0:47 LOVING the black saber effect on the "Darkside" text, blends in really nicely with the smoke coming off of him. Makes it feel like it's apart of the environment! 1:10 "The devils, they whisper in my ear; deafening me with all my fears" I mean just....dude? Dude???? The MASTERCLASS lyric matching on that. 1:33 Text looks EXCELLENT 1:46 my FAVORITE use of "dark-dark-darkside" with the parallels of him pointing the gun and the sound effect to match it! The whole final act of the song escalating and the matching of that to the climax of Percy fighting Orthrax is so well done! You can just _feel_ the intensity of it all. Favorite part has to be 2:16 when the beat matches cutting to the smoke on him to his face, and then cutting to Keyleth being absolutely terrified. Just sends chills down my spine its great. I truly can't praise this video enough. It's COMPETING with my love for "Incomplete" as new fave canon vid from ya. You've improved so much as a canon editor these past few years and its incredible to witness! I just love it, I love it so so so much

This shit is fucking epic man. The amount of effort and time this must of taken. The music fits so well and the way you blend the guns noises with the music is just incredible Also Percy's bird mask just looks so fucking cool and I wish they had found a way to keep it even after Orthax is defeated. Like I get that it literally symbolizes Orthax so it would be hard to have percy wear it otherwise, but man its just so cool.

[@V-Achaius]

I feel like Percy got downgrade after the first season while everyone else gets new thing he lost his smoke and mask it was sad man

[@cullitonarchives]

@@V-Achaius yeah. I think it'd be neat if they updated his design a bit. His simplistic outfit worked really well with the bird mask but now that that's missing it could do with something else. Idk what that'd be though.
