Help me move to Scotland to be with the one I love

Hello, my name is Colie and I'm trying to raise the money needed to be able to apply for a partner visa to go and live with my girlfriend in Scotland.

3 years ago, my life was in a hellish place. My step-dad, the greatest person I have ever known, was diagnosed with cancer and put on hospice care. He took me in when I had to leave my old life behind me; when I lost my home in New York and had no where else to turn to. He accepted my 3 elderly cats and cared for them like they were his own. Although he came into my life late, he acted as a father and a friend to me.

In August of 2021, right as my step-dad was diagnosed, I met the love of my life. I wasn't looking for love. I was searching for a writing partner and she came along. 2 weeks later, I told her I thought I might be in love with her, and to my surprise she said she felt the same way.

Steph was there for me as my step-dad grew weaker and weaker. She was the first person I told the morning when he passed away. I helped my mother care for him in his last days. I listened obsessively at the wall between our bedrooms for his last breaths. To this day, I still refuse to go into the spare bedroom where he passed away. I am traumatized, I am broken, but to Steph I am so much more. She was there for me to lean on whenever I needed her. She cheered me up with her silly puns. She made me smile and she reassured me that I was worth loving.

My life has never been easy, but the easiest thing in it has always been Steph. I knew right away that I loved her. I admired her from the first moment I met her. She stuck by my side despite my disabilities, despite my losses, despite my will to end it all.

I have severe anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. Because of this, it has never been easy for me to keep down a job. Because I have never been able to hold down a job, I have been living off the good graces of others and cannot afford therapy. Only recently did I find a way to receive remote therapy and I'm working to improve myself.

I have lived a sheltered life since moving down here to Florida. I lost everything I ever knew in New York. I have seen family members only a handful of times in the past 11 years, and I haven't visited any of my friends since. I have lost touch with the people I called my friends back home, and I haven't been able to make new friends down here.

It's a different world here, and I am very fearful as a gay person in a red state. I do not tell anyone that I'm gay because I fear for my life here. Especially after the 2024 election results.

I have become a recluse who has nothing but her online friends, her mother, and her cats. The one shining light in all of my life has been Steph. We were able to meet in the summer of 2023 and I flew to Scotland to be with her. For the first time in my life, I was living and doing what I wanted to do. I was happy. I smiled every single day. I was traveling outside and seeing things I've never seen before, all with the person I loved most in the world. At the end of my trip, Steph turned to me and said "So, what do you think about living here?" and I swear to you, I've never smiled brighter.

The reason I have started this campaign is because of the financial requirements to obtain a visa to move to the UK. The financial requirement is £29k, which is roughly $37k USD. Steph just graduated from university with a degree in screenwriting, but she has yet to find a job in her field. For the time being, she's working in childcare, which she also has a degree in, but it does not make the kind of money needed to sponsor me for a visa.

Our choices were either to make the 29k annually, or to have 31k in savings (equating roughly to 39k USD) so that I could apply for a visa stay support both of us for 2 years before I would have to apply again. Unfortunately, the income earned cannot be combined with any savings to meet the financial requirement. The requirement also does not allow me to contribute with a US income, as the person who is responsible for sponsoring me has to be the one earning the money because I won't be able to work in the UK until I have a spouse visa.

It is incredibly difficult not seeing the one you love day in and day out. My life has never been easy, as I said before, but I feel as if it has been put on pause ever since I was forced out of my home to come and live in Florida. I haven't been living, I have been surviving.

I want to live again, and I want to live with the girl I love.

Please, if you can, donate. Even if it's just a dollar, anything helps. Please help my dreams come true.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Just a reminder that this is still a thing! Apologies if anyone messages and I don't reply right away as I'm not always logged into this Tumblr.

Hey everyone!

Firstly, I'd like to congratulate Lei Lei on being chosen to be our new Princess Zelda! Thank you to everyone who auditioned.

Secondly, I've created a Four Swords Dub channel in my public discord that I use for my streaming. This gives you all a chance to hang out and interact with each other and the cast/crew if you'd like. If you'd like an invite and are over 13, please send a DM to this tumblr and ask for one, as well as telling me who your favourite FS character is (just to deter bots).

Thank you and see you in Chapter Nine!

An Explanation

Hey everyone, Karen here!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all who waited for our return and a welcome to anyone new following! I know I don't have to write this but I wanted to give those who waited an explanation of what happened over the last four years.

The four year haitus was entirely down to me. Some of you may know but most don't know I direct this dub and the Ocarina of Time manga dub. I was directing the OoT dub first then the FS dub kinda fell into my hands and since I know how important it is to you all I had to give it my best shot.

However, after a few years of constant uploading on both projects, the burnout became real. Anyone who is neurodivergent will know how hard it can be when you want to do something but just can't anymore. I don't think people realise how much goes into these projects behind the scenes. I have to be involved in every step of the way. If the colouring doesn't get done in time, I have to be the one to follow it up. If the voice lines aren't right or are late, I have to be the one to chase people for them. If something doesn't look or sound good during editing, I need to provide feedback on how to fix that. As you can imagine, it got to the point where I felt like I was nagging people, rather than asking and that's not who I like to be. When I can't do something, there's no one to tell me I'm late or not doing it the way they want because I'm that person and eventually it had to stop.

However, I'm lucky to have a great team behind me who are always willing to help and with their help we managed to get over the hurdles and get the dub back on track. I'm so grateful so many people decided to return to work on the project with me. To ensure burnout doesn't happen again we're taking things a bit slower and I'm stressing less when things don't happen on time. Slow progress is better than no progress, right? I promise we'll get to the end of this project, one way or another.

Thank you for reading!

Extra Video Editor Needed

Hi everyone We’re looking for a new video editor to join our fan project! We do currently have an editor but to ensure they get enough downtime in between parts, we're looking for someone to edit a part or two of the project. You don’t need to be an expert editor but you would need to be able to create a video similar to those seen in the dub so far. (Here’s Chapter Five for reference) and you’d need to be able to do so in a reasonable amount of time while communicating with the director regarding your progress.

If you think you’re up for the task and would like to join the team, please email thefourswordsdub@gmail.com with some examples of your editing skills. From there we'll decide if you need a trial or not! And to make sure there's no confusion, since this is a fan project, it is not a paid role.

Thank you!
