OMG, I <3 <3 <3!!!

I have to confess I'm not a gamer and have only recently rewatched the movies. Thing is I ended up with a prompt over on DA_reversebang to infuse Max and other DA characters into Lara Croft. I had no clue where to go with it, but somehow I also made it into a crossover with SGA. It quickly became apparent I wasn't going to be able to finish in time. So I wrote a short prequel bit in that verse for the challenge and plan to roll it over to darkangel_bb to finish the fic.

I know this vid has nothing to do with DA, but it totally inspires me. It adds in Lara's angst in a way that I didn't get from the movies. Anyways its just timing as I need to get back into writing and finish the draft - this vid is perfect inspiration.

Also the music is awesome, the clips, transitions, and the pacing - its just perfect harmony, totally completely love!!! Dl'd to rewatch a zillion times- thank you for sharing =)

The reboot that came out this year really added such layers of emotions and reality to the backstory of Lara, in the way that the original series and movies didn't, because she was meant to be a super kickass heroine. While super kickass heroines are amazing, there's just something incredibly gripping about watching someone become who they are meant to be and feeling the weight of being in her position.

Thank you for the lovely feedback <3

This is beautiful! I haven't played the game but I've seen clips from youtube and gifsets from Tumblr but I've never been so emotionally gripped by it the way your vid made me feel.

Thank you for sharing!

Oh man, the 2013 reboot was *such* an emotional journey (and the excellent voice acting certainly played a huge part). I'm glad that transpired through the vid.

I loved this.

Will possibly have coherence later.

Coherence is haaard. I came down with a light case of con crud and got a surprise 2 days of day-long training at work. Fun tiems!

I'm glad you liked it :D

This remix works SO WELL with the source, holy crap Milly. The bass-y sequence starting around 2:10 with all the intercut footage of Lara falling/flying is awwwwesome. Love the rotating bridge body slam bit at 2:32! This is going to be a rewatcher for sure.

Woot, I got the fangirling icon! \0/

I really wanted something emotional, but still with notes of kicking ass, and this song seemed appropriate for that. I'm glad you thought it worked :D
