So many recs to share!

Recs for vids, fanmix, fanart and snarky meta

Vid recs:
[livejournal.com profile] ash48's The Look of Love (SPN): It's hilarious! Ash has perfect timing and a wonderful sense of humor. It's a very tongue-in-cheek vid about all the 'looks' the Winchester boys give each other.

[livejournal.com profile] giandujakiss's It Depends on What You Pay (Dollhouse): a bittersweet and disturbing, if somewhat cracky because of the musical theatre-ness of the song, look at Dollhouse and the commodification of rape. The song is from the musical The Fantasticks.

[livejournal.com profile] fizzyblogic's Shut Up and Drive (Merlin): yes, this song HAS been vidded to death, but the cockiness and sexual tension in the song work PERFECTLY for the smugness, humor and action between Merlin and Arthur. This vid is a total blast.

[livejournal.com profile] fatedcinderella's How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You (J2): So adorable! Such a great job pairing their physical affection and smiling humor with a schmooptastic song.


Fanmix rec:
[livejournal.com profile] gigglemonsters's But We Still Don't Have a Song Fanmix (J2): a great combination of adorable, schmoopy pictures, lyrics and music.


Fanart rec:
[livejournal.com profile] secretlytodream's The Eye of the Beholder (SPN): gorgeous watercolor-style paintover of an image of Sam Winchester.


Fandom humor rec:
[livejournal.com profile] thefourthvine's Why Aren't People Commenting on My Post/Story/Whatever? (Fandom): is some hilarious and PAINFULLY HONEST meta!snark about fandom and creative ego. I know I have been guilty of some of the petulance, pettiness and paranoia many times myself :)


And then a sneak peak at my birthday present to myself



From here.

OMG Thank you soooooo much Steph for the link to this site! I swear I could have bought every dress on that site, but I decided eventually on the amaaaaaazing Star Wars New Hope one and it should arrive just in time for my 30th birthday party, yay!!!!!
