Help Needed for Vid Show - Suggestions Loved, Coddled, and Cajoled

[sisabet]

Sometimes there are weeks when you realize that life really does eat you from the bottom. Or something.

Okay - that interpretation of "From beneath you it devours" still cheers me up. Go season seven of BtVS!! It's your birthday, it's your birthday!

I've been totally offline for the majority of the week and this also coincided with a fairly weighty depressive episode that was relieved first by a care package from heres_luck (MUSIC!! FOOD!! COOKIES! BONE PEOPLE!!), installation of the internet AT MY HOUSE (I am online at my house! My house is online! I am online at my house!), and reading Neil Gaiman's "Stardust" - which is a book that I can honestly call delightful. I don't know that I have ever called anything delightful ever, and I blame this on an astonishing lack of garden parties to attend (I assume that if I did attend a garden party, I would refer to all sorts of things as delightful and also eat tiny cucumber sandwiches) but in describing this story - delightful is quite an apt term.

Now - here is where I pimp you - my esteemed FLIST for help. I am about 9 minutes short on the Unexpected Levels vid show for Vividcon. I have a couple of vids in mind to replace the ones that were already engaged to other shows - but I am sadly not as well versed as I wish to be in what is out there vid-wise. I need your help.

This show is a combo of Meta-Vids and also Mind-Fuck vids (which are my favorite kinds of vids - so yay!!). So it doesn't have to be meta if it fucks with my mind and it doesn't have to be a mind-fuck if it is really meta - but if it has both, I may want to bear its children. Or possibly raise puppies with it. One or the other.

I do not need vids in the BtVS/Angel fandom. Right now the show is heavy on the heavy and so a humourous or whimisical vid would be nice. But not necessary - Mindfucks sometimes hurt. Also - the vid absolutely does not have to be online. Tell me what you know about it.

So - go - rec vids to me. Blow my mind.

Oh, I missed you SO MUCH. I really love Stardust, even though most people prefer his other novels.

For things a bit like it (whimsical and delightful and not really at all like epic fantasy), I think his really big influence was Hope Mirrlees' Lud-in-the-Mist (OOP), though there's also some resemblance to Lord Dunsany's novels, notably The King of Elfland's Daughter and The Charwoman's Shadow (which for some weird reason has a schlock horror novel cover, even though it would have been much better off with a Pre-Raphaelite painting, like The King of Elfland's Daughter).
