Hee! :D Thank you! I suppose I could have played the game better and went around commenting on my own, but alas. Also as soon as I saw that Hollow Crown vid it was like OH I KNOW WHO MADE THIS. Lolol! Thanks again, hope the Aliens vid holds up on the re-watches. :D

You had me with the banner with Ripley's face on it. That's all I need.
Ugh, shit, this is amazing. I know nothing about vidding, but I know that this video here is perfect. Great job, dear, and thanks so much for sharing. :)

(Also, A+ for the password.)

SHE'S JUST SO FANTASTIC I LUUUFFFF HER! :') And thank you!!! (Omg I ranted so much about her undies in Alien when I watched the whole series in preparation for Prometheus. Like, those clearly don't even fit lol!) Glad you enjoyed the vid. :D

There aren't many (if any) movie characters that I love more than Ellen Ripley. She's just so amazing. Siiiigh. And lol, those undies look extremely uncomfortable. You'd think in the future they'd have invented some super comfy (and fitting) undies? ;P

Haha! Her choice of undies does improve in the second movie so there's hope for the future still. ;)

I have to say for some reason I I kept disconnecting this with you, despite lots of external evidence to the contrary! Not the editing part, which is obviously brilliant, but for some reason the music choice keeps making me think it's not you. :D Which is really cool, actually, that you can still surprise me like that. :D Downloading for keepsies!

Interestiiing! Well I do loves me a good mashup, but I suppose this particular blend might be somewhat un-moi. Anyway I'm glad I sorta (not really tho) stumped you. You, meanwhile, had perfect songs that drew me in immediately and I think it's truly wonderful that your style transcends anonymity. ♥

Thank you so much! It certainly fell madly in love with her again. Ripley!

Thank you so much for making this. Believe it or not, you were on my short list of vidders who had the skills to make this, because the cutting and framing is so perfect, and that's always what I remember most when I think of your work. But the content? Not what I think of when I think of your work!

It's exactly what I asked for though, and shows how much thought and care you put into filling my request. It's like you reached into my brain and pulled out specs for exactly the vid I wanted, while making it wholly your own. I love it so much. <3

Thank you so much for requesting this!!! :D Honestly, everything came together when I settled on the song as it allowed for the humorous aspects of your prompt to mix with the dramatic elements of Ripley's story that I desperately wanted to explore. Each time she fought the aliens she lost a piece of herself (which I thought was brilliantly expressed by how her hair got shorter and shorter with each film until she physically resembled the alien) and then of course in the fourth she is is literally made part alien. This is a woman who was third in line for command of the Nostromo. She wasn't the captain, she just happened to survive. It's such an amazing hero journey, UGH I LOVE IT ( ... )
