For the vidding ask, 2, 4, 9

Favorite fandom to vid for?

I answered favorite fandom ask over here with great detail and squee and links.

Vid you're the proudest of?

I have SO MANY that I’m so extremely proud of, but. What We Live For which is my sequel trilogy Finn/Rey/Poe vid of joy and love and adventure. I’m so proud that I've become so familiar and comfortable and excited with how I make vids. Sometimes I really can make the stars align to deliver the pure essence of the vid I see in my mind. Make it come to life so perfectly. This vid is a top example of that.

—

What are some fandoms and/or ships you'd like to vid for but haven't yet?

God that list is endless. Right now I’m really looking forward to vidding Wheel of Time (my Nynaeve vid is gonna be amazing). I also am excited to vid Syndey from The Bear and probably will be working on that this summer since season starts at the end of June, omg. I also have Black Sails and Foundation downloaded with hopes I can start my vids for that later this year, too. thank you for the asks!

Vid recs from VidUKon

The unthemed premieres happened last night, and the whole show was amazing. The VJ did such a good job of putting it together.

You can find a majority of the vids linked here: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/vidukon_premieres_2024/works

Below are my particular favourites.

The War Was in Color, by theletterelle (Multifandom, Gen) A brilliant concept, brilliantly realised. So damn good.

9-1-1, by Rhea (9-1-1, Gen) Fantastic commentary on working in Emergency Services.

Watershed, by periru3 (Studio Ghibli, Gen) A stunning retrospective.

The Song We Were Singing, by alba17 (The Beatles, Gen) Brilliantly edited character study of the band. So good.

Vanity is Definitely My Favorite Sin, by bStro Al Pacino is and always will be the coolest, which this vid illustrates perfectly.

The System is Down, by pollyrepeat (Severance, Gen) Surreal and gorgeous, with the music ramping everything up to eleven.

From the Air, by JinkyO (Person of Interest, Gen) Creepy and fantastic repeating simulations, with the most amazing music choice.

Dumb Ways to Die, by valoise (Midsomer Murders, Teen) Exactly what the title promises, executed perfectly (pun intended). Violent and funny.

Bad Idea, Right? by Pennyplainknits (Star Wars, Gen) LOL. Sometimes gag vids are just THE BEST.

We Like to Party, by marah_sarie (Farscape, Gen) So much fun, showcasing all the glorious bizareness of this source.

Tightrope | Around The World In 80 Days (Festivids 2023)

For Festivids 2023, I present my gift for @alba17 - a fanvid for the amazing (and very underrated) show, Around The World In 80 Days!

@atwi80d @festivids

[magog83]

Tagged by @junkshop-disco to post my favourite books of 2023. This has been more of a fic reading than book reading year but I have still read some good ones 😊

Tagging @alba17 @minuialeth75 and @vensre if you'd like to share!

[pie-of-flames]

John/Paul, Gen (so far), ~6100 words It's October, sometime in the 80's. Weird mischief is afoot during Paul's recording sessions at Abbey Road.

Chapter 2: Making Music (one more chapter to go) Outwardly, Paul appeared normal. Any anxiety could be attributed to the pressure of completing the album. But inside he was a wreck.

I started this as a Halloween fic which should give you a clue as to what it's about.

For the vid rec meme, 20 or 26?

20. a vid with a strong thesis statement Field Work (Imperial March) by eruthros [Indiana Jones] is an amazing essay/statement vid that I think about a lot, a fantastic example of what vids can do.

26. a new vid in an old fandom The Song We Were Singing by alba17 [The Beatles], I love that there are Beatles vids being made, this isn't my fandom but I still have nostalgia factor around them somehow.

(Not) Just between us (ao3) - orphan_account sam/bucky E, 15k

Summary: He survived battles, countless times now, but the last one felt different so he took his phone let his heart bleed a little.

The Guide to Being a Displaced 106 Year Old Who Is Coming to Terms With His Sexuality (ao3) - ChaoticAce2005 sam/bucky T, 5k

Summary: “So, people like- it’s normal to like both?”

Because despite Bucky’s head being like scrambled eggs, he remembers love. He remembers attraction. To that one baseball player. To a cashier at a mart, he went to. To the king of Wakanda who, holy fuck had no right looking that good.

And he thought maybe Hydra had screwed him up. Maybe they screwed around with his memories. But even now there were men who would cause Bucky to pause.

Men like Sam.

But he thought Hydra had just broken that part of him. Because he liked girls too and there was no way- Maybe he was just making it up- It couldn’t be real-

“Yeah,” Sarah responded, “Bisexual for one, that’s when you like two or more genders. There are more broad terms like pansexual or polysexual as well, those mean liking all genders or liking many genders.”

Wait- what?

“Aren’t there only two genders?”

Sarah just shook her head, “Gender is more a binary now, think a straight line and at one end is male and the other is female, there is all that space in the middle that some people are in. Some people don’t even identify as a gender.”

What- okay, that was going to give him a headache.

The Interview (ao3) - mybuckystar clint/pietro T, 2k

Summary: Clint grudgingly agrees to do an interview on a morning talk show. Needless to say, it doesn't go as planned.

Your Listed Heart (ao3) - Willowe T, 18k

Summary: Bobbi Morse breaks up with Clint Barton almost exactly six months after their first date, and everything goes to pieces.

Romance, relationships, identities- he doesn't want to think about any of that. But one drunken night, and one drunken mistake, later and Clint finds himself having to confront something much worse: the person at the heart of it all.

One Natasha Romanov.

Make Your Own Kind Of Music - Barbie fanvid

I made this as a treat for Festivids 2023. I think the 60's song perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the movie.

Make your own kind of music Sing your own special song Make your own kind of music Even if nobody else sings along

Artist: Cass Elliot

Natasha Romanoff: Why We Fight (VID) by alba17 for Impala_Chick

The fight never ends but the family Natasha makes along the way gives it meaning. Created to serve evil, she finds redemption in those human connections and her ultimate sacrifice for the greater good.

Johnlock Love Letters #1654

ACD/Victorian. Watson thought he could escape by marrying Mary; Holmes lures him back and he can't resist.

[pie-of-flames]

What might have happened… I have one chapter left to finish it up. IT WILL HAPPEN.

since I've learned that paul mccartney is apparently regularly in contact with john lennon's ghost I would like to propose a new theory to the mclennon truthers that their relationship did take a turn but only after he died
