Nick & June - Holly (2x12)

holly shit , i'm emo. I was puking rainbows while editing this and it only took me 3 hours! it's the fastest i've ever made.
before editing i kinda didn't know what vid to edit - happy or sad, i tried to realize what feelings about nick&june i have after this ep.. and despite Eden's death which was really tragic, i'm feeling totally happy. the moment when they gave their baby a name was so pure and bittersweet omg! They were so soft, teary and in love , "a real family". she was so happy he agreed on this name, his opinion is so important to her let me die. Their plans TO BE TOGETHER AND TO RUN AWAY TOGETHER are still in motion. that's a huge development. Started from the bottom, now we're here!

Each time i edit them i pinch myself to remind it's real and we've really been that blessed with this ship wow! after all these years of shipping i finally am feeling as if i won something huge!
i'm sending all my love to you . i hope you'll enjoy. thank you so much for song suggestions, if it wasn't for you this vid woudn't have existed and i'm happy it does!

ps: i was a bit disappointed it wasn't revealed who tf kidnapped Nick!???!!!! looks like a plot hole?! ugh the rest i loved loved!

[IrinaRusinova]

i hope i made you happy with this edit.
that what i felt during the kitchen scene, happy and hopeful, and i wanted to intensify that in my vid so that i could swim in that happiness and pure love.

the best ship of my life!

When Nick tells her the name sounds right June gives him the biggest widest smile :').

I hope they get out next season. They deserve the world.

When nick said “I wish I could hold her” 😫💔 my heart broke because it just hit me that Nick can’t even hold his daughter 💔💔💔💔💔💔😭

That scene when they fantasized about taking Holly to the beach was so cute. Especially when June said she's gonna try to eat the sand and Nick was like "she is?" and I was like "aww first time dad, so cute". I love him so much.
It's good to hear that you feel so happy and hopeful for them, because I still live in anxiety that Nick will die, or will sacrifice himself for June by staying behind, basically that she will manage to run away and he won't and that they will be separated. My head is full of Nick's tragic ending scenarios. And yes, I totally wanted to know what happened to him too! But I don't want to think about it as a plothole yet, maybe it's just something that they will reveal later?

[erika]

I swear your ability to capture the intensity of their relationship is incredible. And after the “a real family” moment my heart shattered into a million pieces. (In a good way.. lol) and just as I thought I was doing ok. Your video shattered me again!!! LOVE. LOVE. LOVE IT!!

[tontatontatontatt]

all day after the episode, i binge watched your videos over and over. thanks so much for this edit, i feel like such a fangirl. can't wait for the last episode, hopefully they run away together, i don't wanna get my hopes up though because you never know with this show :( . this episode was such a blessing honestly, you could see nicks pain so clear, and that pain it's so crucial in order for transformation and revolution. thanks again so much for taking the time to edit and upload it <3

[pnksno]

OMG, I LOVE this so much! Beautiful! That scene was so sweet with Nick and June dreaming about running away with Holly. It was great seeing them happy for a moment.

[russelsandra]

Oh my God...this is hands down the best nick and June video I've ever watched...the way you captured their intensity is glorious and the song was a good

[nsadows]

You are a master Irina. A Visual Poet. Thank you for capturing the inferno that is this love. The emotions are real. They are ours.

[annap]

I just have so many emotions rn I can't...ok so first of all, I'm glad you went with the happy/bittersweet version; of course their story is full of angst, but their love for each other is huge. I'm just amazed every time that, despite the horrors that surround them, they're still able to carve out some truly happy moments for them and live in that happy bubble for some time. Incredible. It's what June said - "In this place, I think you have to grab onto love wherever you find it."

And your beautiful video shows it so well!!! I'm floored again, thank you so much for editing this masterpiece and sharing with the fandom! Also the song fits them perfectly. ❤️ It fills my heart with hope and happiness for these two.

That kitchen scene™ OMG!!!! I don't know how many times I've rewatched it...how Nick is laughing on that joke in one moment, then his face fells and goes with "Our baby is so beautiful" I'm crying!!! And his voice cracking at "Like a real family" - part. 😭😭😭 My heart broke for him so many times in this episode!
Nick's so proud of his girls for being smart...and when June asks him if he likes the baby's name 😭 like girl, listen, you could've named her literally ANYTHING and he'd be still the happiest man ever. Because his priority is your happiness.

Anyway, let's appreciate that from S1 ("Nick, you won't tell me anything...") we've come to this point in S2, where Nick is sharing his daydreams with June every time he has the possibility to do so. He's so precious. ❤️

Also, if we won't get the Hawaii scene with Nick and June in the show finale, I'm gonna be pissed. I know, I know...*sigh*

[killlikekobe]

These two will be the death of me!!! My heart can't take it.

[aliciasilverio]

Wow. You took so many of Nick and June's best moments and edited them into this video so beautifully. My heart is happy. Amazing work yet again Irina Rusinova. And thank you so much for taking the time to edit and post this.

[Momandwife]

i'm dying. soooo much emotions right now. CAN'T THEY JUST RUN AWAY ALREADY AND MAKE MORE MINI NICKS AND JUNES AND JUST MAKE LOVE ALLL THE :'(

[chiaratippy]

Beautiful video as always. I’m actually glad you went with a “happy” one, personally I needed it. That moment where they fantasize about living together as a family was so bittersweet because I REALLY want them to have it. They went through so much shit and I just want them to be happy. Especially Nick. Don’t get me wrong, June has been through hell and surely had it worse than him, but she also had her little victories, like finding out about Luke and Moira and seeing her daughter, and in the latest episode she also got to hold Holly and nurse her. Nick hasn’t really had any so far. On the contrary, he keeps giving everything and all of himself and risking his life again and again, and the only things he got in return have been: being afraid of losing the woman she loves to her former-life family, seeing their daughter -despite being beautiful, alive and well- in the arms of a disgusting man and his wife, and having to live with the guilt for the death of his child-wife, even though he is exactly a victim in all of this just as everyone else. Please give my poor Nick a freaking joy!

[beatrizcastro]

Beautiful! This was a moment of pure joy and love, I look foward to see Nick holding his baby.
I really would like to see a video of June giving birth and reminding of Nick, thinking about the father of her child. I mean, I didn't get why June never thought of him while delivering in 2x11.

[vlkvrie]

oh this video is so beautiful! I'm in love with all the parallels you made. the hugs, the "I wish"es, ugh I love this! and the smile on their faces when they're talking about running away and Holly, I'm gonna explode! I wonder what they'll do in the next episode... maybe they'll finally escape and go to Hawaii... i mean, a girl can dream, right? anyway, this is perfect. it's happy and warm and cute and so damn hopeful. their love is so pure, they love each other for who they are and they're home when they're together, even in a monstrous place like Gilead. as long as they have each other they'll be alright.

[otiliacampos]

Omg, this was perfect! 😍
I'm gonna be devastated if they aren't endgame! ( Even though I have my long-standing suspicions that Nick is going to die to get them out of Gilead. Which that better not happen because it will destroy me!)

[cynthia-nw]

I know, right? I just realized I've been watching your vids for three years! Don't ever stop. This ship def takes the prize...

[LovelyxImperfect]

I didn't think I could ever feel so deliriously happy watching anything handmaid's tale related haha but yeah this video did exactly that!! ❤ Perfection in every way I'm so emotional rn, your editing is spectacular as always!! Damn, I just want everything amazing for them, after all they've been through nobody deserves it more<3

[Snmhb]

Your videos are better than actual show. They gave me hope and happiness like show is too real.
