Perfect Ruin - Collab with ThePirateMermaid (13+)

TRIGGER WARNING: This video contains death, including suicide.
....................................................................................…
YAY!! Another surprise video!! :D This is the reason why there has not been any updates on TB4, because i have been busy working on this (and another secret project that was recently uploaded on Tumblr). It was a pleasure to work with Gaby and we are so happy to share our little baby with you guys!
Random fact: The music video for Perfect Ruin was filmed a stone throw from where I grew up (kan jag säga "ett sten kast ifrån" när vi pratar om Boden-Luleå??). :,3
....................................................................................…
STORIES:
We agreed that our main theme was going to be "a ghost who is in love with a human", but other than that we had free range. :)
Miguel/Nani - A story about young lovers whom lost their way. The girlfriend is verbally abusive to the man whom still loves her dearly, and after having died in an attempt to save her, he returns as a ghost. But instead of being grateful, she laches out on him once again.
Shang/Marina - A husband mourning his late wife, but is blessed with the chance to meet her once again. Very simple really, I just wanted something cute (and play around with the hand holding shot while Marina is see-thorough). Originally I was going to use Mulan instead of Shang, but Shang won due to his few wardrobe changes.
Giselle/Proteus - Based on all the countless true stories when somebody has tragically taken their own life without anybody having a clue as to why. So there is really no point in asking me why she did what she did, because I have decided not to know the reason myself. (And I hope that it was somewhat clear that I was trying to drag attention to her lack of a shadow.) PS: For me Giselle has been one of the hardest characters to mask up to date.
Beast/John Rolfe - This is the one that has the longest backstory (and also the one I would most likely base a longer video on), but I could only get in so much. Basically; "A cursed king finds his humanity after having realized that his actions as a human had caused the death of a man. With time and the help of the man's ghost he finds goodness inside of him, and eventually even love." Notice the change in John's color shame from beginning to end. :D

[@artisalive9191]

lol @3:04 Beast is like "oh sheiittt my bad" when he sees he left him til he turned into a skeleton xD

[@StarrChild.]

What's really sad about the Giselle one is that she seems so happy after the suicide (or her ghost is) or that she (as a ghost) doesn't remember it happening. But she seems so happy and carefree in that part. It's really sad.

[@DannyPhantomSG1]

Oh man, every part was beautiful and haunting, but that Giselle/Proteus part was just right on the money. Chills and perfect pacing to lead to that revelation. Proteus's reaction shots are perfect for it. Props for making that work so well. Although the whole concept behind John/Beast is fascinating. I'd love to know what caused John to stay after his death to help his own killer to be a better man....er....beast, rather. ;)

[@TheNamelessDoll]

Thank you!! (^ - ^)

[@rinrinri101]

This was so astonishingly beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes. Giselle's part really stuck hard, you did a wonderful job despite her being difficult. Beast and John were a super handsome couple, I had forgotten how hard I crushed on John Ralph as a kid until I saw this haha. Thank you for the much needed release. Sometimes a good cry can help a lot.

[@Cmdrkat]

+Hiragirin John Rolfe was the character model they should have used as the beast's human form at the end of Beauty and the Beast. XD

[@Nightman221k]

My favorite is the John Rolfe/Beast and Giselle/Proteus those two were just heartstring tugging and moving.

[@Jane155-x6d]

Wow! This was gorgeous! All the stories were easy to understand and beautifull!The image of Gisele hanged actually sent shivers down my spine.

[@queensevilregal]

Wow. Giselle's body hanging from the tree still gives me chills each time I watch this. So dark. But so beautifully done too.

[@highgreenbunny]

Holy crap! The Giselle/Proteus part really fucked me up. I was NOT expecting THAT! However this is an amazing collab and the both of you did such an incredible and flawless work of art. I absolutely LOVED this

[@catherine3010]

I just wanted to mention just how much I love this video. The music selection is excellent. The stories are emotional and they really capture you. But for me... I rewatch and get to enjoy all the little things as well. The way the story reflects the music-- the way you are surprised and sad along with the characters (giselle's scene D:). The twinkle that goes along with Ariel's final disappearance. The way that the story of the beast+ralph? effectively shows us 1. what happened 2. the emotions of both characters 3. the progression of the relationship in just 30 seconds. I just marvel at the talent and effort that had to take place in order for a video of this caliber to be made. This is such a beautiful way to tell stories and I simply don't have the words enough to portray my gratitude for both of your hard work so that I can see it! I am in serious shock and amazement... tl;dr this video gave me the feels hard. kudos to both creators for being absolutely excellent!

[@TheNamelessDoll]

Thank you so much for your lovely words!! (OwQ)

[@carriemaxwell4695]

Oh my god. What have you done to me? My brain cannot handle what I just saw here, a beautiful and tragic story. Each tale was so well crafted and the editing precise. It made me feel like I needed a hug.

[@MiaPaige229]

OMG. This was amazing. The editing was spot on and the stories behind the ships were so well crafted. This video gives a rely good example of how strong love is. It can cause pain and happiness at the same time like eric and odette was the pain side cuz she loved him so much that she gave up her life to be with him. And than John Rolf giving beast love that healed his aching heart is so touching. The one with Gisele just stabbed me in the heart when he saw her body but it's nice to know she's happier and in a better place

[@mikaylak2700]

This was truly amazing! The perfect mix of sadness, happiness, love, and loss. You two are both so talented and seeing this collab was amazing! I hope to see more of you two working together in the future!

[@AniMagix101]

Oh my god!! I am gonna tell both of you this was a glorious collab!!! I understood the whole thing!!!!! I loved your parts!!!!!! That Giselle hanging herself freaked both of us out like crazy! I loved this!!

[@chantalurina3377]

This is such an incredible collab wow, I'm in love! I've watched it countless times since you uploaded. Giselle's scene was so powerful but I also adored the message of John & the Beast. Flawless.

[@elithriabrightwood]

This was beautiful ;-; I am genuinely crying for all these characters, the stories were just so beautifully told and the music suited the stories perfectly. The two stories that hit me the hardest was Giselle/Porteus, and Tarzan and Ariel. Thank you ThePirateNermaid and NamelessDoll xx

[@TheNamelessDoll]

*Please read the description box/end credits before asking questions! I do not wish to tell 50 separate people for example "what the song is called" when the information is already right there.*

[@mskianna1000]

this was so amazing you too work really well together awesome vid

[@carlosnarvaisjr7545]

+TheNamelessDoll (sniffle sniffle)it was sooooooo BBBBEEEAAAUUTIIIFUULLLLLLL!!!!!:""""""""""""""""""""""""")

[@georgethehernandez]

+TheNamelessDoll I LOVED IT! Oh, the colors, the pairings, the theme, it was all so well done! Man, I wish I can do that, too bad I don't have the programs, nor the time. But as least there's someone like you to give us such beauty. :D

[@maddcat3926]

+TheNamelessDoll I swear, it is just IMPOSSIBLE for you not to make something beautiful lol I get so exited when I see you've posted another video :3

[@nukacolanut9274]

This was great! How did you make the dead characters translucent like that?

[@lonelychild32]

this was really beautiful. the song + "the ghost in love with a human" theme really made this all flow so well. Great Job!!

[@emmafrankly]

I get. So. ExciTED WHENEVER YOU POST A VIDEO. Like, not only are you obviously the best at manips like, ever ever ever, but you also craft really moving, complex, and wholly engrossing circumstances for your characters? I'm in awe. Always. You're incredible. And ThePirateMermaid was fabulous as well!!

[@TheNamelessDoll]

+Emma Frankly Thank you so much!!

[@LittIeMazteur]

I'm not crying, you're crying Q___Q That was absolutely amazing to watch. The Giselle/Proteus one had definitely shocked me. I wasn't at all expecting that, so good job there! :D

[@ajsteel178]

Good Knight 2:20 has to be my fav. Its amazing editing and its so dark. Love your work!!!

[@edwennlhybride]

I got chills at Shang's part because...it was so moving...so touching... And I'm depressed after the one with Giselle and Proteus. And I finally smiled at Ariel's part. Great video, as always, and every single part was amazing and makes me cry or smile. Thank you for this incredible collab, you should do it more often :3

[@KeiZiahKnight]

I can't believe two of my favorite editors collabed! I love it Dolly!!!

[@kristinarichards6327]

WOW! The editing was so amazing! I understood every story! This deserves to be in my favorites :D

[@simbaaddict]

OMG! The Beast and John Rolfe is something I've been dying to see!! And for it to be done so lovely makes it even better! ^^ great job to both of you!

[@jessa2145]

This was so amazing, just like the rest of your collab and non-collab videos!!! You two should definitely team up for another!! It was so hauntingly beautiful im literally watching it again and again xx

[@Arwendail]

This is beyond perfection! Such an *amazing* collab, girls! It's just priceless to see a work of you both together. ♥_♥ Every part is so intense and unique in its own way! My heart just can't handle so much awesomeness. =') Thank you for this master piece.

[@moonflower813]

This is such an awesome video. Props to both you and ThePirateMermaid. The part that definitely gave me the most chills was the one with Giselle and Proteus. Seeing Giselle's body hanging like that almost made me shudder. I'd also love to see a continuation of the part with the Beast and John Rolfe. I love stories like that.

[@rummagingchaos]

thank you for putting me onto this song years ago. i know it has a dark feel to it, but i’m playing it at my wedding 💙

[@Mrstealth93]

My god. Its so dark, yet so incredibly beautiful. You two should team up more often.

[@knichole2024]

I loved the Ariel and Tarzan one. That made me sad and happy at the same time. ❤️❤️

[@Vicksterrtricksterr]

I'm in utter awe... this... this beautiful masterpiece.. has me in tears. Guess it makes me think of my mom. I lost her to cancer, will be a year in Nov. This inspires me to make a vid like this about her or at least there will be a similar story. : ) With all that said, you lovely ladies certainly out done yourselves w/ this one... this video I will NEVER forget! ♥ ♥ ♥

[@aflamingmoon5586]

Oh heavens....I honestly jumped when I saw Giselle's body. My boyfriend had to turn and ask if I was okay...This is so hauntingly beautiful! Absolutely amazing job yet again from both artists! Every mask was clean and I definitely could understand the story line with each couple!! Well done!

[@TheNamelessDoll]

Poor confused boyfriend!! X,,D And thank you, darling!!

[@RosesnWater]

I feel like you actually enjoy making me cry T-T Beautiful, just- painfully beautiful

[@KoryGrayson]

This was mind blowing, this was so wonderfully put together animated everything! You guys did AMAZING work on this!!!

[@GrimmMemoirs]

the part with Giselle and Proteus is my fave of all of your parts! The reveal of Giselle's hanging body gave me CHILLS.

[@disneymagicbeliver]

I will suffer through not having any source of constant uploads if it means you two will collaborate to bring us more videos like this, this was absolutely breathtaking

[@Tatjana_L.]

I like how you showed all characters in the beginning of the video! You captured the main theme - ghost love - very well and God, it's so depressing! :'-( I want to hug this characters and tell them that everything is going to be alright. I can't decide which is my favorite pairing, though ...

[@Onjivan23]

Is is odd to say that I love when you take these beloved Disney characters, and just pile the pain on them? XD I guess what I mean is I love the "ah-ha!...wait...what...oh...oh dear" feeling I get when you go in a completely different direction than expected. It's interesting to see so many different kinds of ghost encounters. Tarzan, Kenai, and Shang seeing a dead loved one's ghost, but continuing to live. Herc and Odette seeing a loved one's ghost, but having a bitter/sweet feeling to it. Proto and Miguel reuniting with a loved one's ghost...and it takes a very dark turn. And then Beast falling in love with a ghost! While all the stories were pretty clear what happened, there was one thing that I didn't understand. Was Eric supposed to be some sort of demon? Why did he look so different from the other ghosts? All shadow with creepy eyes. He almost looked like one of the shadow heartless from Kingdom Hearts.

[@OhmagabTV]

+Onjivan23 I can answer wtf with Eric (Cause I made that part xD), at first I visualized Eric as a pirate, that's why I made his soul black, also I wanted to make him creepy, like when you're in the dark and you see something moving and you're like "oh my God, I'm gonna die" xD Well.... that xD but I prefer people think whatever they want so that makes it more interesting (in my opinion) :D and well the game Limbo inspired me to do that shadow, but you're right looked like a heartless, maybe he is? :O chan, chan.... could be xP

[@Onjivan23]

...I have to keep reminding myself that when people work on videos in "collaboration", they aren't always sitting side by side in the same room working on the same clips at the same time lol so I guess I need to say "good work" to ThePirateMermaid as well

[@OhmagabTV]

Onjivan23 Oh, don't worry about it, for real :) I was about to comment this video and saw your comment and I though it would be nice to answer your question :3 thanks for the words ^_^

[@TheNamelessDoll]

… I would love it if one could actually sit in the same room with the other editor…

[@OhmagabTV]

TheNamelessDoll Me too :'D

[@rebeccachia]

Giselle and Proteus' was very haunting. THANK YOU for Beast/Rolfe explanation. I thought they were lovers which bothered me >.

[@chefboyardee4732]

Wait, they're not lovers?

[@rebeccachia]

Do not. Just don't. it's in the description :)

[@TheNamelessDoll]

+Rebecca Chia All of these are love stories. I have no idea what description box you read, because mine clearly describes them as lovers: "he finds goodness inside of him, and eventually even love" + "a ghost who is in love with a human". PS: I do appreciate the compliment (regarding Part 3), but if you ever again leave a homophobic comment like this under my videos, I will have to block you so that you cannot comment at all.

[@rebeccachia]

+TheNamelessDoll ah! i didn't read that very first line (ghosts fall in love with a human) clearly until I pointed that out and jumped straight into the character stories. thank you for clearing that up. Beast and Rolfe's story is still the best. i'm so sorry for the misunderstanding and offence. i highly respect you for your work, and won't do it again

[@TheNamelessDoll]

Rebecca Chia Thank you, I appreciate it!

[@harperbovberg1674]

This video is actually tear inducing. No lie. You both are SO SUPER DUPER talented and just... oh my gosh I love this video.Thank you both!

[@Chronicle077]

Wow! This is so amazing. You both did such an amazing job with your parts; each was so creative, I loved every bit of it.. Especially the Giselle part -- gave me chills! :3

[@Nightman221k]

Wow. That was simply stunning. I'm floored by how perfect each part was with telling a story. Fantastic job!

[@iluvtelenovelas]

HOW DID YOU EVEN. The scene with the hanging at the tree gave me CHILLS. You are a magician, holy crap. I wish I had your talent. :D

[@ESteckly]

The part with Giselle, oh my god. Awesome job as always!

[@StephyDee]

This was gorgeously done and so touching! Bravo to both of you! Seriously, the feels in each story are just too much! It was an instant "like&fave" for me. ^_^

[@lnbakablack]

oh my god!!! How! How do you manage to do such an amazing video! Thank you!! I'm completely in love with your work! It's like an addiction!

[@JaceyDemy]

VERY beautiful work all around. Editing was top-notch here. (Particularly loved the edit of Marina into stone.) Giselle and Proteus' probably gave me the most feels.

[@IceCapKay]

You have such a talent for making beautiful stories with bits of movies. Any one of your videos could be a movie in itself.

[@OhmagabTV]

Hellow, I'm watching the video here :D jojo I love it! you know that ♥

[@OhmagabTV]

+Ceewew Frost waaaah thank you

[@IOweyoUSoMuch77]

This was amazing.. ! And yes, Beast/John Rolphe part deserves an entire video ! This is so new ! :) I love it

[@PaintedAndTainted]

I praise the amount of work and effort that went into this! It's beautiful. Well done :D

[@alexking4258]

I've watched this video for the past year and I have to say that... I'm in tears. Every time. It's so amazing and beautiful.

[@xino2023]

Beast x John is just perfection oh my Lord. ;-; Good job!

[@dtrix10kc]

Oh.....my.....Lord! ::gasping:: This is absolutely breath-taking and chilling! It's gorgeously dark and beautiful! You just got a new subscriber!

[@13Okuni1]

Fabulously beautiful. I love it when you make collab videos, because it keeps me guessing which part you did and which were others. Plus the stories you all come up with are spectacular! Love it all.

[@julydaydreamer404]

I love it!!! The music, the histories... They complement each other! This video is beyond perfection, is terrifying gorgeous! Always I see a new update from your canal, I look forward, I love each video you do. I love everything from your canal and tumblr.And, holy shit! The history from Giselle and Proteus? I can't truly understand why, but I love it. Really, I don't understand why I like that SO MUCH! It's simple, but deep, complex until. I don't know, maybe I like morbid stuff. From all the histories, that one and Aurora/Hercules & Ariel/Tarzan are my favorite ones!Keep doing a gorgeous work, and we see again in another video.P.S.: Sorry for my English, I am Brazilian and I don't know English very well, just the basic 😌

[@minecat-anisapria-7965]

This took SO MUCH TALENT to make. Holy heck!

[@KairiMewLeviGirl]

Absolutely amazing! You both worked really well together! I bet all that masking took you both ages!

[@indiciaobscure]

Please do a full video on the John Rolfe thing! I love ghost stories, and that was really touching and beautiful. Amazing how they both bowed to each other.

[@alembicsystem]

god that moment when it cuts to giselle's feet hanging from the tree is chilling every single time i watch it. this is so good.

[@kenza_wenza]

Time for my yearly rewatch of this video

[@ZuviosGemini]

I would be 100% on board with seeing more of the Beast/John Rolph story. :D Your videos are gorgeous, and this collab is AWESOME.

[@DianaHartVoices]

Absolutely beautiful and breath taking. I am rendered speechless at the moving and emotional story of this video. Thank you.

[@ianknighted]

when i first saw John and Beast in the opening i wasn't sure but you have a way of making unlikely pairings work

[@heatherm6423]

this had to have been the best editing iv ever seen not even I could make my editing this good

[@SweetOrangeGirl]

**cries a few tears**

[@TheAgent377]

what a beautiful collab video!! You both did a phenomenal job!! the stories are each so unique and the editing is on pointe! (as always!) Plus I adored seeing Miguel (my fav

[@TheRealFlurrin]

This was so awesome and dark, and I love the note it ended on!!! SO CUTE oh my gosh

[@NightmareCCL]

Giselle/Proteus part was edited so amazingly! It was so haunting. You both did such a wonderful job! (I hope you make a longer video of Beast/John Rolphe in the future n_n)

[@LyssaLokken]

thank you this is a nice birthday surprise!!!! I love it!

[@RavenHowl]

That was really amazing as always and I was at the verge of tears. Poor Miguel, he didn't deserve such a bad treatment ... and my favorite is the one with the Beast and John Rolphe, I think it's a lesson of humanity for the two of them. I like it ♥

[@madelinpudsey2421]

I really liked the suicide one- sometimes the happiest and best people do it and you never know why and probably never will. Not something anyone can understand besides the person.

[@XxX_Lycoris_XxX_Vods]

This video is beautiful and shocking in a wonderful way. I watch Black Butler, and the concept of suicide isn't unfamiliar, due to the fact that this is how my favorite character of the series was created, but nonetheless it's still sad to see. Grell and Giselle probably both had some bad things going on, and I'll admit I've had my fair share of troubles. Your guy's work is stunning, and I hope to see more from you in the future.

[@munchikins1640]

Wow wow WOW! This is AMAZING! How the best manages to work for the best and create something BETTER than that, I'll never know! (hope that made sense) Loved all videos! I didn't know you knew ThePirateMermaid, so that certainly took me by surprise. Keep up the good work both of you!

[@oliviar7819]

Absolutely amazing as always!! Seeing you in my subscription box never fails to brighten my day *^_^*

[@daxcenawelker4559]

My favorite will always be Ariel and Tarzan. Its beautiful. When i saw the becklace say 'be happy' i was in tears then Jane walks in! ugh!

[@anjouligonzalez9217]

I absolutely adore your work, and i love the pairings for couples. Your work is always something I look forward to watching with suspense and anticipation!

[@Holidayflowergirl]

I'm simply speechless, that was so beautifully well-made!

[@RainbowMills]

WOW OMG THE MANIPS ARE SO PERFECT! The AuroraxHercxMeg part is the best! Goodjob to & to ThePirateMermaid ofc

[@RainbowMills]

+Rainbow Mills every parts are so good but that part stood out *sometihng* for me

[@ZombiezRule2000]

I never thought of Beast and John Rolfe to be a couple. And now that I have discovered this, I will adore them until the end of days! Awesome video, you never disappoint :)

[@kyatorin]

This was absolutely mesmerizing to watch. So beautiful and well done. Such beautiful music and such well editing. Well well done, thank you for sharing

[@juliaenter5305]

What an amazing video once again! I found each story interesting in its own way, but favourite was probably Eric and Odette's one :). It's sad and happy at the same time!

[@indiamartin2417]

Why is it so beautiful and painful? ♥ One of the best channels I've seen.

[@RachelMoretti]

wow now this is talent. It almost brought me to tears. you are so skilled and this is beautiful and told such a wonderful story!

[@afragilestar]

These are all so sad, yet so beautiful! There were some parts that stood out to me; - Aurora went in Megara's body....Just wow! So creative! :D - Marina coming out from the statue! * __ * I hate picking favourites.... But Proteus and Giselle had me creeped out XD -in a good way-

[@TheNamelessDoll]

I KNOW, RIGHT!! 8D I had never seen that before, another girl go into Meg, so I was all giddy and weird when Gaby showed it to me!! X,D That shot was the ONLY reason why I made that part. I wanted a ghost come out of a statue, and that is why the rest of the part is kinda "…meh". :,D It was the one that I made first and worked the hardest at, so I am very pleased that people like it!

[@arainmorn1994]

Omigosh! Giselle\Proteus and Beast\John are just super-duper-amazing! Beast/John Rolphe part deserves an entire video! [2]

[@tempest1308]

Oh my goodness this was amazing! I would be ecstatic if you ever explored the Beast/John Rolfe story in other videos, because wow it was amazing! Great collaboration you guys! ; u ;

[@mickeydk.6350]

My poor Miguel :,(. Omg this was so beautiful.

[@WheelsOfViolets]

I'm sure I say this with everyone of your videos but this is incredibly well made! You are very talented indeed :)

[@pinkpearl36]

2:02-2:27 was so sad T^T It was such a lovely scene.

[@Whooachannel]

omg,this frigging brought tears to my eyes. your vids are so amazing

[@star-boltlover9609]

The last one almost made me cry!

[@TheDeathToday]

The first one with the abusive girlfriend is the one that brokes my heart the most, for some reason.. It's beautifully sad.

[@7Write4This9Heart7]

WHOA! SO AMAZING! The song, stories, couples - WOW! Rock on!

[@mayicarin8996]

I'm torn between Giselle and Protius and Beast and John Rolfe as my favorite. I really can't choose. Although I think I'd prefer a full length Beast and John Rolfe tbh

[@KitsuKitx]

oh my gosh I think I found another great 2D pairing in this XD John Rolfe and beast man, they look so great together! But great manips as usual, I feel so bad for Miguel in this ;n; but overall this is an awesome collab ^^

[@meeka8047]

AHHHH one oh my faves. don't know how many times I've rewatched this

[@MaiinaJo]

This was AWESOMELY made!

[@RebeccasStudio]

amazing as always.the editing is brilliant you have such patience.

[@Neferit12]

Wow, you both are absolutely amazing! Some of these stories here look so real and deep, it brings up a lot of emotions. I have to say my favourite one is the Giselle/Proteus because it made me feel so sad so strongly that I had to watch the video again just for that. Also, the graphics of the Miguel/Nani one are superb, it looked like they were both from the same film. TheNamelessDoll, I've simply followed you the longest so I can give you this compliment - you have improved so much, significantly over the past few months, I am really speechless upon seeing your creations and have always enjoyed them. I hope you'll keep improving and that one day you'll get famous and produce your own million dollar movies. Or, if that is not your desire, than I wish you success and happiness in any career of your choice! :)

[@TheNamelessDoll]

Thank you so much!!!
