So I've seen lots of people in fandom who are all about the Cap/Iron Man, and I was kind of like, OK...

But then I watched this vid, and I read this fic (which is one of the funniest and most delighful fics I've read in ages--seriously), and gahhhhh, so much awesomeness and I totally get it now.

Other new favorite thing? Avengers roommate!fic. I want ALL the hanging-out-at-Stark-tower/mansion-roommate-shenanigans fic. Boisterous!Thor and snarky!Tony and sneaky!Natasha and cuddly!Hulk and other hilarity. Bring it!!!

I just got mine in the mail and I'm soooooooo excited to sit and watch them all. Yay for shiny shiny vids!

Not dead! Just full of RL busy-ness and having less time to do things beyond lurk (and love you all deeply, just without--you know--talking to anyone...). Anyway, posting!fail and commenting!fail aside...what is everyone up to?

( I think I'm actually more excited about the summer lineup than I was about the fall one. Behold the return of five shows that I pretty much unequivocally ADORE. And a few maybes. )

( Vidding kind of on hold but podfic'ing is full steam ahead. )

( And other things on my fangirl radar include Katee, Scott Pilgrim, Diggnation, Star Wars clothing and Whedon marathons )

Firstly, YAYYY for Supernatural being renewed for season six!

And more importantly, OMG this vid is amazing and made of win. What a perfect celebration of fandom joy! I think deirdre_c has some of the best comic timing I've ever seen in vidding fandom. I fangirl her so hard <333333333

Title: Open Up
Song by Leftfield and Lydon
Vid by boom_queen
Summary: A highly dancey recap of the film The Fifth Element for festivids 2010 (originally posted here). Made for wyomingnot. "Open up, make room for me."



( Download and streaming behind the cut )

Also...feedback is <3 and sunshine and cupcakes y'all!

( If you are looking for intelligent criticism or meta, just move along because all I've got is flail and squeeeee... )

Also, Bones and Leverage this week were both entirely satisfying and Hardison and Booth can keep being my TV boyfriends. That is all.

I've been having a hard time watching TV synchronously with when it airs, so I feel like I've been missing out on a lot of the post-episode squee for several of my favorites. But! I have been watching stuff and keeping my eye on the flist.

( Stuff on my current TV watch list--Castle, sytycd, V, Glee, Bones, Supernatural and Dollhouse )

And in other upcoming exciting fandom news...I'm insanely stoked for festivids (like yuletide but for vids in small/under-represented fandoms instead of fic). I submitted a bunch of TV and movie recommendations that I would love to see anyone make vids of. And I'm excited to snag someone else's prompt myself. I've kind of needed a prompt/challenge to get my vidding juices going again, and this one looks delightful.

Other upcoming challenges that I will not be doing myself but am still insanely excited about: j2_everafter is back!!!



Oodles and oodles of delightful Disney-fied J2 awesomeness. This is the challenge that brought us such classics as Keepsake--omg best fucking fic EVARRRRR by indysaur, The Incredibles AU by ignited, and the cracktastically delightful Cinderella update by obsessed1 and juice817. Think of all the new gems to come!

Just had a delightful day of live fangirling with sundancekid, so now it's time for the weekly recap!

( Glee, in which I really really love anything where people randomly burst into song )

***

( Warehouse 13, in which I squee over the Hogans )

***

( Supernatural, in which EPIC bro angst is epic and I hope god is a woman )

***

( Vampire Diaries, in which I still think Damon is hot but I need room on my tivo for Flash Forward so….too bad angsty vamps )

***

( Bones, in which I love on Booth's wacky socks and the schmoop factor )

***

Now I'm going to dig back into my re-read of Charles De Lint's Someplace To Be Flying--amazing urban fantasy incorporating a lot of Native American mythology, think American Gods but written long beforehand--while my download of Epitaph finishes. Need to get all caught up before Dollhouse season two starts!
