FESTIVIDS FEELINGS
I made Something We Are All Intimately Involved In for franzeska, which was so far outside of my wheelhouse, I don't even know! Ultimately, I had fun. I got to watch Crash a few times through which is always delightful. I'm not sure how much of this is the vid I dreamed up, but I think it works as a sort of atmospheric slash vid? I had a lot of unexpected trouble with software/new computer/being super rusty at vidding and hopefully?? that doesn't come across.
It's pretty hilarious/ironic that I ended up making a boyslash vid because it seems that my requests inspired a HUGE FLURRY OF WOMEN/FEMINIST/FEMSLASH vids and I basically still want to die they make me so happy.
*GETS REAL SERIOUS FOR A MOMENT*
Fandom activism can be a-mazing, I won't lie about that. But sometimes I feel like a few of us are shouting into a void and the only thing coming back is echoes. [Disclaimer: that is absolutely not the case, but it doesn't change how down I can get.] I feel like fandom is a space in which I can actually make a difference, slowly, through things like only writing and requesting women and GQ characters, through co-running rarewomen, and through quietly, constantly, defending and loving the women you hate.
It gave me THE MOST HAPPY to see the things made based off of my prompts.

chaila made Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down (Top of the Lake) which she talks about a little here. In retrospect, I should have known this was chaila! I guessed another of her vids -- Paradise Circus (Stoker) -- and REALLY should have seen the tell-tale chaila-ness here as well. After all, she DID say she was going to make a vid for this great miniseries even if she wasn't assigned to it!
eruthros , who I've been getting to know on twitter, made me TWO vids. Both for the exquisite Masters of Sex. It is to their credit that I would never have guessed they were made by the same person! THEY ARE VERY DIFFERENT VIDS! Studies in Human Sexual Response: She Bop is hilarious and sexy and a wonderful celebration of ladies having orgasms! Also, parachute, which is a beautiful, sad, comparison between Virginia with Bill and Virginia with Lillian and it makes me the MOST sad because Lillian is probably gonna die and history tells us that Virginia and Bill... don't. For awhile anyway. (And not that I don't like Virginia with Bill, but I wish she could be more of Lillian!Virginia with him. And he would stop being an ass.)
TO TOP IT ALL OFF,anoel made Love, Save the Empty (Masters of Sex) which is the blatant Lillian/Virginia shipping vid I had no idea I wanted and needed SO DESPERATELY.
In short: Thank you for making this exchange, and my life, a delight.
