Fuck The Patriarchy Vidshow

I made a vidshow for VidUKon 2025 exploring experiencing patriarchy, resistance and pushing for change, and seeking post-patriarchy and (queer) joy:

1. The Second Rib by Seasaltmemories (Revolutionary Girl Utena) Tell Patient Zero he can have his rib back. A dual portrait of how Utena and Anthy individually cope with patriarchy. (watch- ing this vid is what inspired me to put together this show in the first place!)

2. Smile by Januarium (Kevin Can Fuck Himself) No more Mrs. Sweet and Miss Nice / No more Mrs. Fuckin’ Polite / Time for Mrs. Takin’ What’s Mine / You don’t need him

3. Losing My Mind by ohvienna (Star Trek: The Next Generation) Deanna Troi is fine (she’s just very tired, that’s all).

4. Dollhouse by Periru3 (Mad Men) One day they’ll see what goes down in the kitchen.

5. Phenomenal Woman by odessie (Hidden Figures) Breaking boundaries and chasing fire

6. Fascination by charmax (Billy Elliot) The word is on your lips, say the word

7. Crazy, Classic, Life by metatxt (Pose) Everyone wants a “crazy, classic, life.” Be Gay, Do Crimes!

8. Weapon by eruthros (Cindi Mayweather, Janelle Monáe) Throw all your hell towards the heavens, cause your voice is a weapon

9. Stand By You by thingswithwings (Multifandom) Male privilege is a shield - you can choose what you use the shield for.

10. A Gorgeous Vid Moment by Llin (Queer Eye) Young man, what do you wanna be?

11. I Know A Place by heresluck (Sense8) Don’t you be afraid of love and affection.

12. Salute! by nu_breed (정년이 | Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born) let us stand together/ Maeran Gukgeuk is for the lesbians! **PREMIERE**

13. People Like Us by JinkyO (We Are Lady Parts) We are all misfits living in a world on fire.

14. Black Tie by such_heights (A League of Their Own) You will find the clothes that fit.

for the 11th of March, here's another due South vid rec!

Wonder of Birds by @laurashapiro-noreally is a gorgeous vid from 2003 that I hadn't seen before this December! it's so good at conveying emotion through the motion onscreen... love expressed through all the jumping throwing flying exploding adventure sequences! Fraser/Kowalski really is like thattt

here on ao3!

The super talented Kaidan (maker of the "Mass Effect 3 Dancing" vid that I watch more often than I'd care to admit, lol) posted this unfinished piece "Shep in slomotion" which I highly recommend you check out! 😎👍

But. The reason I didn't embed THAT original video (though I REALLY recommend you watch the original first for the context, but you do you 😉) is because I had to show you the alternative version:

It's a Kaidanapocalypse and it's GLORIOUS! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 If you or someone you know would love a Kaidan Alenko of their own, be sure to share this with them, lol! Also, if you enjoy, please do click through and let the creator know. 😎👍

I made this guide about creating & using overlays for vidding, but the first half is all about flow & composition, which are editing fundamentals. It's very information-dense. I packed everything into 15 minutes. It's program agnostic. It has chapters, captions, and several more guides (mostly text but some more videos) in the description. You can also download the video if you don't want to keep referring to youtube. Please check it out! ❤️

Saturday Morning Vid Recs - Women!

Back in January I told @poetikat that I wanted to share just a fraction of vids I’ve seen since I started vidding in 2007 that I love. Taken me forever to format the links into a post to share. I have several more posts half-finished and may show up on your dashboard in following weeks or months.

I'm reccing vids that are at least 1 year old, but most of these vids are 4 and 8 and 12 years old and sometimes older. These vids feature a variety of sources, characters, genres of music, genres of shows. Each of these vidders have their own style and the way they approach a song or a source. I love these vids, they're fun to watch, they're hot, mesmerizing, engaging, thoughtful, full of love and horniness and BAMFs and joy and struggle. I love. I love.

I give to you 23 vids for this weekend's theme:

Women!!

Learning to Fly by rhoboat. Beautiful Boxer (2004). A movie vid based on trans Thai boxer Nong Toom’s life. This song is so good showing her journey to learning to find herself and fly! Ako Te Reo by bironic. Rūrangi (2020). Ana learning Te Reo Māori. This vid is so wonderful! It's never too late to learn. Come on Feet by JinkyO. Pumzi (2009). The song choice and pacing is incredible for this Kenyan sci-fi film. Something has to keep us moving forward. Black Nails by fightingarrival. A League of their Own (2022). A Max vid that is a great look at her journey on the show. This vid makes me want to rewatch all her scenes all over again. Here, take this L. Damned if She Do by chaila. Borgen. This source is the Danish political drama Borgen. Birgette is so kick-ass and this song is perfect for her. She come alive when she dying. "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." Strict Machine by such_heights. Doctor Who. River Song. I’m in love with River Song so of course I have to rec this. I get high on a buzz then a rush when I'm plugged in you. Counting Stars by beccatoria. DC Animated Wonder Woman. Beccatoria has always done such a great job of vidding animated source and WOMEN!!!! Superstar by @heresluck. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A Faith vid. This (one of many) epic Faith vids to come out of vidding fandom over the years. This vid lives rent free in my head. But I would pay this vid to live in my head because I love it so much. Never gonna be the same again.

Down & Dirty by @sweeter-than. Killjoys. A Dutch fanvid! A++ song choice for a character study showing her relationship with the Jacobi brothers and her general awesomeness. Make way. Cut Like a Buffalo by kiki_miserychic. Empire. Cookie Lyon fanvid! Cookie has all the skin in the game and she is so good at music, but damn there’s so much bullshit she has to deal with along the way. Yeah, you know I look like a woman but I / Cut like a buffalo / Stand up like a tower, tall / Then I fall just like a domino. Control: A Monstress Fanvid by garrideb. Based on the comic Monstress. You know this Halsey song + any woman who has been Going Through It is going to be a fucking ride. Great editing, amazing art. Fortunate One by @moocowmoocow The Expanse. CAMINA!!! DRUMMER!!!! A Sleater-Kinney cover of Fortunate Son is 10 million kinds of brilliance here for Camina and this source. I ain't no fortunate one. Celebrity Skin by @some-stars. Black Sails. This is an Eleanor and Max character vid. I repeat: Elenor and Max vid to Courtney Love’s music. Heed the warnings. This vid is so goddamn good. It better be worth it. Double Woman by starlady. Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame. So much awesomeness packed into this vid. Through the camera lens re-editing history gives imagination to the people. Wu Zetian and Shangguang Jing'er are awesome. Hooray for awesome ladies of the Tang Dynasty! Titanium by giandujakiss. Wonder Woman (the original tv show). She is titanium! Suffering Sappho.

Mirrors by @kuwdora. Snow White and the Huntsman. Queen/Snow. Lots of fantasy imagery and bdsm like themes since the Queen wants to suck the youth from Snow. Sex. Love. Control. Vanity. Lightning Field by bradcpu, a Legend of the Seeker fanvid of Cara/Kahlan. The imagery in this vid is outstanding, the tone the atmosphere. I have rewatched this more times than I can count. Strike me down, Give it everything you've got. Hands Away by chaila and beccatoria. Sarah Connor Chronicles/Fringe. Sarah/Olivia constructed reality fanvid that is constructed really really fucking well that you might forget that these are two different shows. I can't reach you. (Or, two messiahs walk into an alternate reality) Hurricane by @laurashapiro. Farscape and Battlestar Galactica, Starbuck/Aeryn.This vid is so epic and hot and incredible...Hot and sexy and can’t take your eyes off them. Two pilots walk into a bar. I Wanna Go by millylicious, a multi-source action vid Angelia Jolie tribute. This is fun and delightful. Space Girl by charmax. Multi-source space women and girls! My momma told me I should never watch Sci-fi but I did, I did, I did. Celebration by sweetestrain. Pop divas. Madonna, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, etc. Another one of my favorites of favorites. The connected imagery between all of these music videos still blows my mind, but goes to show you how pop music continues to build and evolve from each other. Plus sexy dancing. If it makes you feel good. Your Song by anoel. Multi-fandom. One of the most epic sapphic/wlw vids out there. I don’t wanna hear sad songs anymore, I only wanna hear love songs.

Hope you like these recs! Follow the tags to keep up #saturday morning vid recs and/or #kuwdora recs
