Saturday Morning Vid Recs - FEELINGS & THAT DYNAMIC

Alright, here is yet another post for @poetikat of vids from days gone by and the recent past. I love and adore the vids. I think people should watch them for a much-needed boost to the heart and soul.

I’m calling this collection of recs FEELINGS & THAT DYNAMIC (capital letters!) because of how big and immersive the emotional experience is while watching them.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

I Gotta Feeling by CountessMary. The Muppets (The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper, Muppets Take Manhattan, and Muppets in Space). A throwback to the dance club party Club Vivid 2010. Tonight’s gonna be a good night!!!

Uptown Funk by @revolutionarygirlshati (Legend of Korra). An incredible addition to the uptown funk canon of vids!! Korra is so damn expressive!

C’mon by rhoboat. Inside Out (2015). C’mon, c’mon with everything falling down around me, I’d like to believe in all the possibilities. Perfect song and lyrics for this film. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ So many big feelings.

You Told the Drunks I Knew Karate by @settiai. Doctor Who. Amy/Rory. This is the first vid I think of when I think of this pairing, I can’t get enough of it!

For Your Entertainment by such_heights Legends of Tomorrow. Again there is something exquisite about using this song for this source. Legends of Tomorrow is so cracky and bizarre. This vid made in the earliest seasons of the show while it was airing and fucking nails it. The legends truly are here for our entertainment, bwah.

Groove is in the Heart by giandujakiss. Doctor Who/Torchwood up through 2007. This is an oldie for sure but it’s so firmly embedded in my brain that this song now exists because of this vid. The vibes of the song is really wonderful and fun. Nine and Ten, Rose and Martha and Jack Harkness and Torchwood and friends and lovers. I love how it transitions from Nine to Ten and Torchwood and back again to Doctor Who.

True Love by @findmeinthealps. Cobra Kai OT4!! This vid is such a treat because it is a tapestry of slash and Johnny and Daniel’s love for their partners throughout and and and. They all just fit together, okay. One big karate family. Each section of this vid is more delightful and full of LOVE than the next.

Take On Me Doctor Who by @trelkez. Doctor Who, classic and New Who through 2010. I heartily rec all of trelkez vids, and especially all the Doctor Who vids. Picking this one out for this list was a no brainer. There’s just something wonderful about A-Ha being used for the partnership and adventure in this show. The part at 2:01 always makes me grin because trelkez has a great sense of musicality and humor.

Garden of Your Mind by @sandalwoodbox. Critical Role, Dungeons and Dragons. This is about storytelling and imagination. AND it utilizes a really cool remix of Mr. Roger’s voice. It’s so beautiful and I cry lots about it because I’m a sap and it’s really that powerful.

Life Less Ordinary by di_br / @why-the-face. Doctor Who. Nine/Rose. Di’s vids were my go-to when I started vidding back in 2007 and I was obsessed with all her Doctor Who vids. It turns out I still am obsessed. This vid makes my heart so warm and fuzzy and I absolutely have to rec this one after all these years because the Nine/Rose feelings are off the chart and span space and time.

I Do Adore by @kiki-miserychic. Adventure Time. Princess Bubblegum/Marceline. This is another oldie, and also for a show I've never seen but always been a fandom-in-law. This vid is so, so so sweet and sapphic and shows me exactly why Bubbline was so beloved.

Carries On by @monkeyswithjetpacks. Jim Henson and The Muppets. This vid brings the big cry about, too. It’s a wonderful tribute to Jim Henson and his work. I really love the music choice here which is The Magnetic Zeroes and there’s such a wide array of different sources from behind the scenes and the muppet shows. It is so beautiful.

Here's a list of some awesome fanvids focused on Louis de Pointe du Lac from AMC's version of Interview with the Vampire for Louis month at @iwtvfanevents

This fandom also has a huge number of Louis/Lestat vids (obviously).  In an effort to keep the rec lists to a reasonable length, the Loustat vids will have their own list.  

General Trigger Warnings (not all apply to every single vid): violence, blood, murder, some gore, fire, domestic violence, suicide.

cannibal (twitter link)  by @peqpouma / jovanoromani - Instrumental with dialogue - “And if you were to come across their diaries and learn, in detail, how and when you failed them, would you share those failures with a brash young reporter?” (music by Marika Hackman)

@revolutionarygirlshati

not even JRR Tolkien, who famously developed the concept of the Secondary World and firmly believed that no trace of the Real World should be evoked in the fictional world, was able to remove potatoes from his literature. this is a man who developed whole languages and mythologies for his literary world, who justified its existence in English as a translation* simply because he was so miffed he couldn't get away with making the story fully alien to the real world. and not even he, in extremis, was so cruel as to deny his characters the heavenly potato. could not even conceive a universe devoid of the potato. such is its impact. everyone please take a moment to say thank you to South Americans for developing and cultivating one of earth's finest vegetables. the potato IS all that. literally world-changing food. bless.

ah fuck sorry! that was only in reference to a brief moment though, not to the obvious parts

it’s okay, i wasn’t really that bothered~ i’ll probably forget about it by the time i actually get around to trespasser again anyway

revolutionarygirlshati replied to your post  “revolutionarygirlshati replied to your post  “revolutionarygirlshati...”

i played through cole's disapproval scene for a vid once and i was genuinely distraught about his temporary and fictional poor opinion of me

oh god, what cole disapproval scene? the ordinary disapprovals from small interactions are bad enough, i dread the idea of making him genuinely unhappy with me

budgetbytes recipes i’ve tried have been fairly simple

BJ said in a fan Q&A that all 'dairy' in the books is made from plants with milky sap, but he clearly just pulled that out of his ass

audible-smiles replied to your post “skeleton-tiddies replied to your post: pandowl...”

that white stuff isn't even sap, its latex. some plants produce it when they're injured as a defense mechanism. a lot of types will make you sick to your stomach if you ingest it. its where we get natural rubber from, and also opium. YOU DON'T TURN IT INTO WHIPPED CREAM

i have been trying to think of a good response to this for like. hours. i cannot. le sigh.

revolutionarygirlshati replied to your post “revolutionarygirlshati replied to your post “revolutionarygirlshati...”

i think he warns you first if he's getting mad, and if you keep earning disapproval (or, you know, edit the game so you can clip the scene) he walks up and is like "you're such a bad person i can't be friends with you with anymore" then wipes your memory of his existence and peaces out

revolutionarygirlshati  replied to your post “revolutionarygirlshati replied to your post  “revolutionarygirlshati...”

but it would be hard to trigger it accidentally i think

well that sounds awful and i think even watching someone else do it would hurt my heart so i’ll take your word for it

Happy Friday, everyone! Last night I stayed in a house that was basically a dead ringer for the house in Gone Home. I have never seen so many rooms in a place someone actually lived in. Is this the kind of place I could afford if I stopped eating avocado toast? I think that’s probably how that works.  And now, some replies: @youremarvelous @allykat023 @fourteenacross @mountliang @dadvans THANKS, BABES~~. There were so many stunning red lip looks on my dash lately I felt the need to bust out my Peggy Carter lipstick for the evening.  @revolutionarygirlshati Listen, Tumblr and I have only just begun our selfie relationship, I need to work everyone up to the weird face @geoclaire I would never diss anything so majestic as the unicycle tbh.

revolutionarygirlshati replied to your post: i sent some money i don’t have to planned...

revolutionarygirlshati replied to your post “revolutionarygirlshati replied to your post “so on my first...”

yeah now that you've brought it up i'm surprised i haven't seen much contrast/comparison between the mage mission and the end of trespasser

revolutionarygirlshati replied to your post “revolutionarygirlshati replied to your post  “so on my first...”

when i first played the game pretty much my only emotional investment was in making cole happy, the templar mission was a happy surprise later

as someone who has not actually played more than the first 10 minutes of trespasser (my interest in the game had waned by that point, and i could have gone back instead of starting a new playthrough, but i just. didn’t really feel like it.), i shall cheerfully do my best to forget everything about the mage mission so i’m not spoiled. alternate future what alternate future, i went to redcliffe and came back with a bunch of mages and nothing else happened

i don’t think i knew anything about cole before playing the game, so his existence in general was a happy surprise for me. look, a new character i have actual emotional investment in! if i recall correctly after the templar mission i was just like, oh you’re mine now. and asunder solidified it. my precious serial killer son, you deserve the world and also a better hat

revolutionarygirlshati replied to your post  “100% genetic evil was what put little!me off Redwall for good!”

i've been mad about the adopted baby who was  genetically moderately evil & about redwall's dairy since childhood and i know i have already complained to you but

revolutionarygirlshati replied to your post “100% genetic evil was what put little!me off Redwall for good!”

WHO OR WHAT WERE THEY MILKING???????

revolutionarygirlshati replied to your post “100% genetic evil was what put little!me off Redwall for good!”

im still so uncomfortable

revolutionarygirlshati replied to your post “100% genetic evil was what put little!me off Redwall for good!”

oh no im back to 'sorry i was thinking about milk'

top 5 chopped moments you can remember

1. “But the cinnamon roll soaked in blood of the beef…” “(looks at floor, mumbles) Blood.”

2. “ROBIN, YOU DUMBASS.”

3. The two worst Scott Conant + fish moments: Scott Conant calling a fish ‘sexy,’ and Scott Conant telling a contestant that they didn’t 'respect the fish.’

4. Entire pork chop in a blender.

5. I feel bad for loving this one because I’m sure the producers asked him enough leading questions to create this narrative, but Chef Jeffrey (aka Cheffrey) and how everything that happened in the competition, no matter how benign, reminded him how he was never good enough for his father.
