I'm so excited to see whatever you make! I tend to most love vids with a bit of pace. I love happy, I love angry, I love funny, but really I'm into most styles of vid. Pop, rock, indie, and musicals are favourite music styles, but again I love to be surprised.
I love ensembles and friendships very much! A character study is also always a delight. Mostly I just love vids, so I'm sure I'll be happy with whatever you do.
Dropout TV [UMBRELLA] - I love these goobers so much! My favourite Dropout shows are: Game Changer, Breaking News, Dirty Laundry, Total Forgiveness, and Um, Actually! (I haven't seen a lot of D20 yet but I loooooved Mentopolis). I would so love a chaos and friendship vid for this. Or an Izzy vid. Or an Erika vid! Or so many things. A Grant and Ally vid would also be great.
The Great Pottery Throwdown (TV) - This show is such a total joy. Even moreso now I'm getting into pottery myself. I'm love anything for this, though I feel like Keith has to cry at least once or it doesn't count.
Hook (1991) [SAFETY] - RU! FI! OOOOO! I love this film so fucking much. Here for ensemble or family or pirate-centric or just Rufio being amazing, truly there are so many directions this could be taken.
Kevin Can Fuck Himself (TV 2021) - Show of my heeeeaaart! I would LOVE a Patty character study or a Patty/Alison vid so much. Or anything, but those are the things I most yearn for.
Knives Out (Movie Series) - I just love these films, here for anything.
Let's Plays - The McElroy Family (Web Series) - Ahh there are so many options here! I could go for anything here, there's so many options, but I have a particular fondness for the drift% series they've been doing this year, with Super Mario World and Donkey Kong.
My Brother My Brother and Me (TV) [SAFETY] - I love this show very much, it's just such a joy. Shenigans, please!
Polite Society (2023) [SAFETY] - What a truly excellent movie. It's so funny and badass and heart-warming and brilliant. It's probably clear by now I love friendship and shenanigans and siblings and this has all those in spades.
(FYI to most people seeing this: I’m signing up for Festivids, so this is my letter about my requests to go with my sign up.)
Honestly, I'm flexible and I'm sure I'll be delighted with whatever you make, but I shall try to give you some guidance.
Vid preferences: I love ensembles, I love friendship vids, I love character studies, I love overviews! I’m not as into shippy vids but I can absolutely get on board with them; my fave ship vids are usually fun and/or fucked up, as I'm not really into ballads. I am a big fan of upbeat vids, but I absolutely can go for more serious ones, or those that take a darker turn, too. I can totally enjoy vids with angst, but I’d prefer that to not be the majority of it? I fucking love angry vids filled with righteous anger throughout. While I often enjoy using clips with show audio to begin or close out a vid I don't always love vids using show audio mixed with music? But there are some of that blow me away, so I'm not entirely opposed.
Music preferences: Other than not being all that into ballads, I like all sorts of music! I love discovering new music in vids. Some favourite artists are: Janelle Monae, Tori Amos, Panic! at the Disco, Fleetwood Mac, Blink 182. I love musicals, I love pop, I love rock, I love punk, but I'm here to follow you down any path that works for you.
Don't have any visual or audio sensitivities or triggers.
Anna and the Apocalypse - What more could you want than a high school Christmas zombie comedy musical??? I love the ensemble here a lot, the whole group of them, feel free to rip my heart out with their decreasing numbers. Anna and Steph are specifically my favourite characters, but honestly I am a fan of all of them.
Do Revenge - This film is so stunning, really there's so much vidders can do with it. Drea and Eleanor as fucked up soulmates, following the story as a whole, just appreciating the incredible outfits? Whatever you want, I'm here for it.
Everything Everywhere All At Once - What even is there to say about how great this film is? Really here for exploring Joy and Evelyn's relationship, on the film as a whole, the ensemble, , Joy/Jobu/Joybu’s journey, WAYMOND! Here for all of it.
Kevin Can Fuck Himself - God I love this and this it’s such excellent vid fodder. I’d fucking love anything focussing on Allison and/or Patty, maybe a character study of of one of them (Patty’s journey would be such a good vidddd), or an Allison/Patty or Allison&Patty vid would be my EVERYTHING okay. Basically, I desperately want vids about this show/these women in whatever form.
My Brother My Brother and Me - I love this show, I love the McElroys, and really I would love a vid exploring their shenanigans! All the silly fun. I don’t have lots of words about it, but I have much love.
Rutherford Falls - This showwww!!!! I love Reagan with all my everything, but also Bobbie! Terry! The minor characters! Yes, even Nathan, and I do love the journey of Reagan and Nathan’s friendship here. I’d love a vid for this however it goes!
Star Trek: Lower Decks - I love this crew so much! Would love an ensemble vid for this, or maybe a Tendi's journey or Beckett and her mom or, well, exploring anything here! I just love them.
(FYI to most people seeing this: I’m signing up for Festivids, so this is my letter about my requests to go with my sign up.)
Hi! Gosh, this is both exciting and nerve-wracking, as this is my first Festivids! Narrowing down what fandoms to choose was HARD and I hope there's something here that inspires you. Thank you so very much for whatever you come up with!
First, more generally: I love ensembles, I love friendship vids, I love character studies, I love overviews I love so many things! I'm not as into shippy vids (one suggestion below notwithstanding) but I can absolutely get on board with them! I am a big fan of upbeat vids, but I absolutely can go for more serious ones, or those that take a darker turn, too. I can totally enjoy vids with angst, but I'd prefer that to not be the majority of it? I am highly supportive of angry vids filled with righteous anger throughout.
I love discovering music through vids, so please use what speaks to you, but if you want some guidance, some of my favourite artists are Tori Amos, Janelle Monae, and Panic! at the Disco. Also I continue to love Glee music, especially ensemble stuff, Naya Rivera, and Alex Newell 😆I love lyric-matchy videos, but absolutely love when it's more of a ~vibe, too.
Now to discuss the requests, in alphabetical order!
Anna and the Apocalypse - I love this film so much! As it's a safety, I'll let you know it's a high school christmas zombie comedy musical and it's amazing. I love the ensemble here a lot, the group of them, feel free to rip my heart out with their decreasing numbers. Anna and Steph are specifically my favourite characters, but honestly I am a fan of all of them.
Dear White People - I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH!!! My favourites are Sam, Lionel, and Brooke, but again I LOVE THIS ENSEMBLE SO MUCH! A vid showing their journeys over the show would be great, but really anything for this show would make me so happy.
Kevin Can Fuck Himself - God I love this and this it's such excellent vid fodder. I'd fucking love anything focussing on Allison and/or Patty, maybe a character study of of one of them (Patty's queer journey would be such a good vidddd), or, and here's the one request I'll specifically suggest a ship vid, because Allison/Patty could make such a good one. But I also have a lot of love for Patty/Tammy, so don't feel you have to shy away from them if you do make a different sort of KCFH vid. An Allison&Patty friendship vid would also be great, doesn’t have to take it shippy. Basically, I desperately want a vid about this show/these women in whatever form.
Mythic Quest - Another fantastic show with a fantastic ensemble!!! Poppy and the testers are my faves, but really, any way you want to go with this I am hype for it. This is short, but really I just love it and and repeating myself by now.
Rutherford Falls - This showwww!!!! I love Reagan with all my everything, but also Bobbie! Terry! The minor characters! Yes, even Nathan, and I do love the journey of Reagan and Nathan's friendship here. I'd love a vid for this however it goes!
Schitt's Creek- If you look at my AO3 you'll see how much I fucking love this show. While, yes, it's clear I love David/Patrick, I love the whole ensemble so much, and Stevie Budd is my everything. I'd love digging into the found family, or David and Stevie (and Patrick!)’s friendship, or Stevie's career journey (or all of their career journeys?), or Alexis and David's sibling journey, or Ronnie Lee being amazing for 60 seconds. Anything you want to do here!
Watchmen - I fucking loved this show. Certainly quite different from a lot of what I've mentioned, but honestly you could do anything here and I would be excited for it. Obviously, considering the source, feel free to go dark.
We Are Lady Parts - THIS SHOW!!!! This show is so fucking good, as it's a safety I feel I can say YOU SHOULD TOTES WATCH IT IF YOU HAVEN'T! It's about an all-female Muslim punk band in London. It's on Peacock in the US and channel 4 in the UK. I love all the characters, but Saira and Amina are maybe my faves? Except I love Aisha, Bisma, and Momtaz, too. There's great ensemble stuff and friendship journeys and character study stuff you could get into here, go wild.
Really looking forward to wherever you want to go with any of these sources!
