Hello Festividder! I am so excited you’ll be making a vid for me.

Standard disclaimer: I am a creator who prefers more guidance rather than less so I've written the below assuming you are too. If you've got a great idea that's a totally different different direction, by all means, run with it! I am sure it will be awesome.

Music: I tend to prefer songs with lyrics, especially if they’re weird lyrics. I like most genres of music, but I have a particular fondness for modern country, alt rock, and pop music from the 90s on. If a song is on a top 100 karaoke songs list, I probably love it. Favorite artists include Fall Out Boy, Tegan & Sara, Bastille, Florence + the Machine, Taylor Swift, Purity Ring and Krewella. I hate Walk the Moon.

I love vids with femslash, found family, OT3s of all genders, multiships, subtext ships, women being awesome, complicated feelings, grief, power imbalances, sexual tension and grand gestures. Queer is perfect. Dark is awesome. Adult themes, sex, violence, whatever--- bring it on.

I don't love lots of dialogue or text on screen. A line here or there is okay, but generally I find it distracting.

FANDOMS

Another Life (2019)

Another Life

I care so much about this show and the fandom is like four people who occasionally post on Tumblr about it, but it just got renewed for season 2 so SOMEBODY must be watching it! This show is tropey, horny sci-fi and it's delightful. It has canonical polyamory, a fantastic nonbinary character (played by an enby actor!), and Katee Sackhoff's incredible arms, all of which I love. They rounded up a bunch of total disasters and stuck them on a ship with a hot, buff control freak to lead them and they're all so emotional and drama-prone. Logically there is no way these jerks can save the world, but it's fun to watch them completely bumble their way through trying. I would love a Cas/Niko vid, or a vid focusing on either of them, or one that centers the whole crew as a found family. That last one is probably my favorite idea because even though that captain/first officer femslash is my main squeeze I also love Zayn/Bernie and the Engineering OT3. Honestly, the only kind of Another Life vid I wouldn't be ecstatic about would be a Niko/Erik vid or a vid that focused on the on-Earth shenanigans.

Crazy Rich Asians (2018)
Rachel and Eleanor from Crazy Rich Asians

I love Eleanor. I love what an evil mother in law stereotype she starts off as and how she ends up showing tiny bits of vulnerability. I made an Eleanor/Rachel vid but dear god there's so much room in the universe for another one! Or a Rachel/Astrid vid. Or just a general fun romp vid, because this movie is a fun romp that deserves more vids.

Ghostbusters (2016)
Patty and Holtzmann from Ghostbusters

Jillian Holtzman is a frustrating genius who is high on IQ and low on social acumen and I fucking love her for it. Holtzman was the first time I truly saw myself reflected on the big screen, so a Holtzman focused vid would be amazing. I'm also open to shippy vids as long as they include something other than Holtzbert. (Multishipping is great and including Holtzbert there is fine, I'd just rather it not be the sole ship.) Patty is also a fantastic character and I'd love to see something highlighting her as the non-scientist-but-still-vital member of the team. Patty/Holtzman also very cool! This is another found family goldmine.

Into the Badlands
The Widow and Tilda from Into the Badlands

This show is visually stunning, just breathtaking. I love the Widow and Tilda (and the Widow/Tilda) and how complicated their relationship is. A ship or character focused vid for either of them would also be amazing. The only characters I really can't stand are MK and Quinn. I get an Of Monsters and Men feeling about this show but haven't ever found one of their songs that I thought I could vid it to, so if you do, I'd be thrilled!

Overcooked (Video Game)
Overcooked

Woo boy. I have no idea what you would vid this source to or how you'd go about doing it, but it could be amazing. My person and I love Overcooked so much it's going to be in our wedding vows. I'm not even kidding. It's so freaking fun even when you're setting things on fire accidentally and failing miserably. Also the first game has this weird time-travel-backstory that's just totally bizarre. Kevin is the most important being ever.

Star Trek: Discovery
Michael and Philippa from Star Trek Discovery

Things I love: Michael Burnham as a reluctant savior of the universe. Michael/Georgiou (either one) loving or hating each other or both. Women having each other's backs in battle. Georgiou kicking ass and being a dangerous bisexual badass. Michael/Spock (yes, in a hot way, or just in a "we have a deep, complicated bond" way if that's not your thing.) Jett Reno being the queer McGuyver of the 23rd century? Maybe a "holy shit we lived?" kind of vid? I love the ensemble and the team as family feels. I'm not a huge fan of Lorca or the Klingon war in the first season, but other than that I'm pretty open.

Thanks again, vidder! Feel free to comment anonymously if anything is confusing or if you'd like clarification, or if you'd like to yell at me about how amazing Michelle Yeoh is. (YES, SHE IS.)
