ILLUMINATED
is a fanvid manip by YouTuber TheNamelessDoll. The video ships together Jane from Tarzan with Amelia from Treasure Planet. It is set to the song "Illuminated" by Hurts.
Jane is a young woman who wants to see the universe, so she decides to join Captain Amelia's crew as a map artist. The two end up slowly falling in love, but Jane's Dark and Troubled Past comes back to haunt them when her abusive ex-boyfriend Thrax (Osmosis Jones) catches up to their ship.
This video provides examples of:
- Adaptation Species Change: Thrax is presumably an alien. In the original film, he was a humanoid virus.
- Chekhov's Gun: During the raid by Thrax and his pirates, Amelia gives Jane a gun to protect herself as they escape to the cellar. Later, when Thrax confronts them in the cellar, Jane uses the gun to set off gunpowder to kill them both.
- Crossover Couple: Jane and Amelia are from two separate Disney properties.
- Domestic Abuse: Jane ran off and left her abusive lover Thrax. He ends up following her.
- Falling-in-Love Montage: A montage shows Jane and Amelia falling in love as they spend time together during their voyage.
- Flashback Effects:
- The flashbacks and nightmares of Thrax are in a different style, with the environment heavily shadowed while Jane, Amelia, and Thrax's eyes and teeth are brightly lit.
- Jane's dream of herself and Amelia has them more brightly lit.
- Gory Discretion Shot: Thrax lethally slashes at Amelia. The result isn't seen and we're only shown blood splashing on the walls.
- Interspecies Romance:
- There's the human Jane with the feline alien Amelia.
- Jane had a past relationship with Thrax, who may-or-may-not be an alien in the narrative.
- Love Doodles: During the Falling-in-Love Montage, Jane watches a preoccupied Amelia and draws a bust sketch of her.
- Nightmare Sequence: Jane's nightmares of Thrax are shown.
- Oh, Crap!: Jane shakily aims her gun at Thrax. Thrax doesn't take it seriously, viewing her as too weak to use it properly, until she redirects her aim to the side — he turns around, realizes she's aiming at the crates of dynamite behind him, and goes wide-eyed.
- Plagued by Nightmares: Jane has multiple nightmares about Thrax.
- Recursive Fanfiction: The video has inspired two separate novelizations: this one is a oneshot while this one is an incomplete one-chapter fanfic.
- Sleeping with the Boss: Amelia hired Jane to work with her, but they ended up falling in love.
- Taking You with Me: Jane uses the gun Amelia gave her earlier to protect herself to shoot at the crates of gunpowder behind Thrax, causing the both of them to die in the explosion.
- Together in Death: Amelia and Jane both die, but they end up together in heaven.
