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!

::grooves::

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.

Uhm, okay, gwyn took "it's all been done before", and I'm going to assume you have "I'm not a virgin anymore" and "I kissed a girl". For a fun meta, I suggest "Hair" which is a meta-vid addressing the needs of the hair fan. *g*

Hmmm. What's on the list? "Sweetest Perfection" is brother/sister incest from Wiseguy. Do you have a lionel/lex or HP vid yet? I think both those could be mind-fuck-like for subject matter.

And on the funny side of that, Katherine's "tainted love", a meta-commentary on the krychek-abuses-mulder storyline. Oh! And "stand by your man" Katherine's ironic Buffy vid. Hey, there can never be enough irony...

Oh! "As Girls Go" -- Gwyn and Sandy's vid that takes clips of mulder being girly and parellels it with DD in drag. Very meta commentary on the tendancy to femminize a character.

Uh, "Similar Features"? There's a classic slash story about the protagonist falling for a woman because they look just like the guy that is 'forbidden'. Similar Features plays that out in a vid, using Cassie/Jim/Blair.

"The Man Song" -- Light and funny meta commentary juxaposing girlish behavior with action hero behavior.

What can I say, I like the meta. *g*

I am not Sis...(Oh, and welcome back, bunny...I missed ya!)...

...and so I have no earthly idea who Gwyn and Sandy are...but they sound positively delightful. Could you please point me in the direction of this vid:

As I am all about ranting over this particular Meta...and, of course, all about Mulder doing anything.

Sis...I have nothing I would be qualified to rec to you...but I will say...when I am down I like to watch that "I Need A Hero" vid from Farscape...I know you know it...because I would have linked to it from Headtilt.

Actually Rae - I have seen 3 FS vids total and that is not one of them, but thanks!

(I would really like to see this if it happens to be online and you have a link.)

Sorry...

"As Girls Go" hasn't made it to the net; it's still only available on a tape.
