Platinum!

2022-11-21T16:42:01Z

So I accidentallly ended up getting the platinum trophy for God of War Ragnarok, I ended up doing so much of the side content/collectibles during the campaign that I was so close it seemed criminal not to at least try for it.

This was my very first platinum, and perhaps it was a mistake because I immediately started eyeing all my games in a desire for the sweet dopamine rush of seeing the pop up that proves I am a good person and successful gamer (yes, I know but try telling my brain it doesn’t work like that)

To absolutely no one’s surprise I returned to the last of us series. I never platinumed the remaster on a technicality. It requires multiplayer you see, and no. But the Part 1 remake does *not* so a quick afternoon of cleaning up collectibles I didn’t nab before because I already had in the remake and DOPAMINE PLATINUM RUSH.

And now Part 2.

I had 2 sticking points there. It requires a grounded play through and a permadeath play through. And some areas of the game I just barely get through and only if I stealth which makes picking up collectibles in those areas dicey, especially cards and coins. But I did grounded. So I’ve put permadeath on but set to chapter and difficulty at light+ (so I can have all my upgrades and weapons).

This should be interesting considering I’ve had to go all the way back to the beginning of Seattle Day 1 already for the undignified reason that I accidentally fell off a ladder. BUT I WANT THAT PLATINUM. Kratos can’t have it while Ellie and Abby don’t that would just be wrong.

Dear Equinox Vidder

2020-02-27T20:51:45Z

Hello my equinox vidder! I love you already!

Let me start by saying what I really, really, want is a vid you feel passionate about making. If that means ignoring everything below? Feel no qualms about it. I trust your vision, and even if we see a source differently we both love the thing itself and I always find different perspectives interesting. If you are looking for direction, and an idea of what I like and what comes to mind as what I’d want to see in a vid for these sources read on!

Masterchef Junior

They are so tiny! And talented! I would love to see something adorable and upbeat that highlights that these are itty bitty children in dinosaur shirts and sparkly bows (some of whom can’t even see over the mystery box or reach the counter without a step stool) making ridiculously complicated and sophisticated food. And how much fun they are having doing it and supportive they all are of each other as well.

I won’t say don’t use tears because I see how that could work (and even help build) a positive narrative...just don’t center the whole vid around heartbroken children, please.

I’ve pretty much loved every season and child on this show so use whatever works for you!

Star Wars: Jedi: Fallen Order

So, this game made me cry a LOT over Order 66 and the traumatic aftermath in ways I hadn’t before. I would love to see a vid that focused on that and the process of dealing with and trying to move past it for any or all of the characters. Please feel free to hurt me as much as you want with this one.

That being said I *also* had a stupid amount of fun swinging a lightsaber around and using all the force powers so if you want to make a high energy action vid that’s all about style points? Please do! I will enjoy the crap out of it.

Also, also, I would nod sympathetically and laugh until it hurt over a vid focusing on such moments as “so you thought you could beat Oggdo Boggdo without dying 100 times?” And “remember all those times a space goat knocked you off a cliff?”

Basically, vid me this game in any fashion and I’ll be thrilled

Horizon Zero Dawn

I love everything about this game. Everything. I’d tell you how many hours I’ve played but that would just be embarrassing.

I love Aloy and her journey. I love her anger and defiance of tradition and her determination. I love her curiosity and thirst for knowledge and answers. I love her connection to Elisabeth Sobeck and the exploration of what that is and what it means over the course of the story. I love the father daughter bond with Rost. I love all the chemistry she has with everyone she meets and the connections she forms along the way. I love her so much.

I also think just the world building alone, with all these amazing environments and stories that exist as ruins and bits and pieces of a past that no longer exists and destroyed itself would be so cool to explore in vid form.

Just, have fun! Take whatever aspect of the game appeals to you if I haven’t talked about it here and run with it. I promise I will love it.

WarGames

Would you like to play a game?

Hello, I am a child of the 80s and this movie was basically designed to directly appeal to my pre-adolescent self. Did I think computers and computer games were so cool, and desperately wanted to have one? Yes, yes I did. Was I terrified that we were all going to die in a nuclear apocalypse? Yes, yes I was. Was I totally fascinated with the concept of AI and computers gaining self awareness? You betcha. Did I think Matthew Broderick was adorable and all but not quite understand why I got a funny feeling in my tummy about Ally Sheedy instead? That absolutely happened.

My childhood. Please vid it.

Ink Master

I am obsessed with this show. Obsessed. I am regularly astonished by the art that is created, both in the flash challenges and the tattoos.

Like. What these people can do with weird materials and limited time is magic. What they can do on human skin is extraordinary. Also I find the entire process of tattooing so fascinating. The planning and stencil making, the tools, the actual tattooing of ink in someone’s skin, all of it. And while I do find all the drama and posturing hilarious, it’s not really what I come to the show for (it’s just a ridiculous side bonus). I mostly just want to watch people make really cool art in non-traditional mediums.

I keep reading over and over that most Trump voters aren't really racist/sexist/homophobic. They were just voting for this other thing (usually economic concerns, which...well, I won't get into that right now but wtf), and if we just took the time to understand them and listen to them they wouldn't have voted for Trump. They think that is both comforting and a way forward.

It isn't.

Let me respond with an analogy. For this analogy we will be using a puppy, on account of unlike when it comes to women, people of color, and the LGBT+, people have actual empathy to spare for puppies.

Here is a hungry man. He genuinely hasn't eaten in a week and has every right to be upset and angry about that and he's miffed at those he perceives are responsible for his hunger. Before him stands two candidates. One offers him a turkey sandwich for his vote. The other offers a steak dinner, and also he will be kicking the shit out of this puppy. The man votes for the steak dinner and then watches as a puppy get the shit kicked out of it. You say, "Okay, but he's not a bad person. He was hungry. If you had just focused on how a sandwich isn't a filling meal the puppy would have been safe."

Yes. Yes he motherfucking is a bad person who needs to goddamn feel bad. And ashamed. And he's just told me that he believes the safety of that puppy rests not in it's inherent right not to get the shit kicked out of it, but how full his stomach is. Fuck you.

And if you think for one second that when he sits down to eat his steak and discovers it is actually a shit sandwich that he's going to blame anyone but the puppy for it, you're wrong. You're so very, very wrong. That puppy is dead.

You can "reach out" to these fuckers all you want. I don't care. Fuck them. Seriously, fuck them. Fuck their issues. Fuck their wallets. Fuck their concerns. It is NOT reasonable to hold someone else's basic human rights hostage for...well. Anything. Ever.

If all you are offered is a crust of bread against a steak and puppy kicking, you choose the crust of bread. If all you are offered is starvation against puppy kicking, your last ounce of energy before you pass out should be spent putting your body in front of that puppy to protect it. Anything less does, in fact, MAKE YOU A BAD PERSON.

Note: not you guys. The wider internet. I'm just posting this here because...howling scream of frustration into the wind?

The birthday that isn't

2016-10-30T15:04:34Z

I know I have sucked at posting, but I wanted to today. Because it would have been Zen's 50th birthday. And for as long as I knew her, she told me she wouldn't live to see it. And for nearly 13 of those years I told her that was nonsense. I had all the sense and logic on my side to back that up. Not even two years ago several of us were actually starting to plan a big 50th bash in defiance of that prediction. We were going to give her so much grief for outliving it.

We were wrong. I hate that so much today. I want to be at that weekend bash right now. Or even just where I have been more Halloween weekends than not over the years, finding hokey decorations to make her laugh (as far as I know the glitter spiders are still strategically placed all over her house from where they went up years ago and never came down), curled up on the smaller couch watching horror movies together and going to pick up a cake. Halloween kind of sucks now.

I started a long post but it just went super negative so I deleted it instead of posting. I am completely overwhelmed right now. The long and short of it is that the last year has brought into sharp relief just how unhappy I have been for a very long time, and how much of it is to do with how dependent I am, and now that I am back in my old situation it is becoming intolerable. Life, as I have learned, is far too short to spend it miserable.

I need a job. I need a job I can do from home because I still have the mental illness and physical disabilities that got me in this predicament in the first place. I need a job that will hire a 43 year old with no real work experience and an unerring habit of freezing like a deer in the headlights at the thought of filling out a job application or resume or anything remotely resembling 'selling' oneself. And it needs to pay enough to live on. Not well or anything. I have no objection to living poor if it's on my own dime. I just need to get out of here. I need to get out of here soon, and on my own steam, before it crushes me back into submission.

I am so fucked. Yes, this is the less negative post. I said to my therapist last year before all this started that I felt like I was fading away and disappearing entirely. As horrifying as the last 10 months have been, I have also been here. Present in the world. And now every day I can feel myself slipping away. It's terrifying. And worse, it's an insult to my best friend who grabbed on to every last second of life to the very end.

I haven't really posted in the last 9 months because I haven't been sure of what to say, really. I'm still not. I keep starting and stopping this post because. IDK. My best friend died. But she also lived. Every last minute. Guys, right after she told the doctors to cut it out with the doodads and medicines because she was done, she sent me down to the gift shop to get her chocolate. The last thing she drank was a Pepsi with more gusto and appreciation than I've seen foodies with a 5 star meal.

And it was also hard. Like being born, dying is hard work, I didn't realize how much. She wasn't in pain or distress in the way you might think, she was also heavily on the good drugs and not particularly conscious or coherent for most of the afternoon (her choice), but the body struggles to live even after you've told it that it's okay not to. Her body caught up with her choice about a half hour before she went and in the end it was so chill and so Zen, I can't even quantify it.

I thought I was okay, IDK, I think maybe I am. I learned more about embracing life and not fearing death and being grateful for every moment this year than I could have thought possible thanks to Zen being who she is. But when the arrangements were finalized for them to come take her body last night I realized I couldn't go with her. How is that possible? That is my job. To make sure she never, ever has to be alone in a scary new medical place, that someone who knows her and what she wants and where she keeps all the info they might need can speak for her when she can't, and remember things so she doesn't have to. And last night I had to let her go without me. I'm not sure I know how to do that yet.

So I don't really know what to say. Soon I will pick myself up and live like she wanted me to. Soon. Not today. Today me and Waffles are just gonna hang out under the blanket here wishing we could be doing our jobs.

well, that blows

2015-06-08T13:22:21Z

So anyway. Those of you who are friends with both of us already know that I am in Chicago staying at Zen and Pete's for I'm not sure how long. Obviously until they no longer need or want me here. Those of you who don't know, Zen is in the hospital right now facing a likely diagnosis of small cell lung cancer. She will get to come home soon (knock wood), and the business of tackling this bullshit will begin.

On the upside, Zen is still Zen and while everything about this sucks, there has been no shortage of laughter and fun and cookies and watching our reality shows and movies with appropriate commentary and doing what we do (good thing our mutual hobbies don't revolve around running marathons).

I keep trying to figure out what to say about all this, but it's mostly incoherent profanities. I guess I could tell you I quit smoking? I always wondered what it would take for that to happen since my own cancer didn't even manage it. But I cold turkey quit the second I heard about zen's chest x-ray and made a deal with the universe never to pick it back up again if it turned out to be nothing. I have incredibly angry words for the universe for backing out on that deal (I'm a superstitious atheist, okay). But even though the universe is a lying asshole, the quit remains and likely will forever because any time I even see a cigarette my reaction is intense loathing at the thing that is trying to kill my best friend even though she kicked it to the curb over three years ago, and even more rage at the people who make them. I want nothing to do with that bullshit. I wish I could feel more triumphant about finally quitting, but mostly I'm just sad.

So yeah. Fuck cancer with a rusty nail.

Posting every day miiiiight have been too ambitious of a goal. I'm going to keep trying, though. Anyhoo, today I talk about a thing I did not expect happening. Since you've met me, you probably know that I watch a lot of documentaries. So anyway, this morning I'm browsing around Netflix and I see this one called "Indie Game. The Movie." and I'm thinking, hey, why not. So I push play expecting to see a behind the scenes sort of thing on how the indie game industry works and it's history or whatever. Figure it will be an interesting way to kill some time and learn something.

That...is not what I took away from it. I mean, there's some of that, certainly. But what it was, for me anyway, ended up being an emotionally raw exploration of the vulnerabilities that drive creation and for good and bad, how it feels to make something and share it. I wish I were better at words to describe what I mean by that. I only know that by the time the documentary hit the 'release day'/'demo day' part for the two games it was following I had literally started crying and didn't stop until after the credits rolled (complicated tears, positive and negative).

It is very possible that this was just the result of my current brain issues and there is nothing particularly compelling or revealing to anyone who is not me? I only know when I woke up this morning 'Full on crying at a documentary about indie video games' was NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING. So there you go. That's my post for today.

fixed streaming and vid hope or whatever

2015-04-15T17:43:07Z

Woo, I fixed it so I could actually upload vid to youtube so the post now contains a streaming version.

Well, I say I fixed it, but really what I did was run it through the newest version of llamaenc and it magically made it 29.97 fps without fucking it up, because Ian is a genius and whatnot and 'run it through llamaenc' has sort of become my go to for 'something technical is wrong with my vid, fix it' issues.

Anyhoo, my post for today aside from the update on getting my vid to stream is a post. Hello. I am glad my vidblock finally broke and hoping it continues (well, it sort of has to continue at least long enough to let me finish the auction vid I was bought for). Who knows, perhaps the power of a former boyband star feeding a kitten will lead to some of the 8 billion projects sitting on my hard drive actually getting worked on/finished.

New vid!! Step By Step (The Amazing Race)

Song: Step By Step
Artist: New Kids On The Block
Fandom: The Amazing Race (Jonathan and Harley)

Summary: Jonathan and Harley really want to get to Phil...step by step. Made for jarrow who I love more than the kittens in this vid but not more than Jonathan Knight, which jarrow totally understands.

Download link: Step By Step Download (right-click the link and save as, 51 mb)

( streaming now available under the cut! )
Notes: So you know how I missed the last few days posting? This is the reason. My last post got me and jarrow talking about his crush since childhood on Jonathan Knight (FOR GOOD REASON) and I was, like, I should vid something by NKOTB to make up for my snotty teenage self and...so I made jarrow a prezzie. And in the process got even MORE squishy about Jonathan to the point where...like, you guys, I seriously want to put posters all over my wall and go back in time so I can subscribe to whatever Teen Beat type magazine in the 80s had features on what his favorite cereal is and stuff. *facepalm*

A Day Happened

2015-04-12T00:57:21Z

Today I spent my time playing Peggle and am now catching up on Amazing Race. This does not make for an interesting post, but I had a goal, so there you go. But, I guess I can now say this after several eps of TAR.

Dear New Kids On The Block,

I am so, so sorry for every time I made fun of you when I was a snotty teenager. I didn't know Jonathan Knight was too precious for this world and that one day I would want to smother him with cuddles and go on vacation with him and his equally adorable boyfriend. Can we just rewind time and smack snotty teenage me and forget that whole thing happened, please?

Love,

grown up me

Adventures in Python and Pi(e)

2015-04-10T21:00:04Z

Goal: post daily, even if it's just a 'yup, still here' message.

I warn in advance, the way I am coping with a lot of my brain stuff is super random so if there is subject matter it is likely to be all over the place on any given day. Also, probably boring. Sorry? I plan to (subject to change, because who knows when a long whiny post about being crazy might suddenly seem like a good and cathartic idea) not post about the brain stuff itself, though.

Today it's programming. Specifically that programming has been added to my list of 'stuff I'd like to learn'. That's a long list, which I tend to jump around a lot on, getting obsessive for awhile and then jumping to something else on the list for awhile and then jumping back and ending up with a lot of 'knows a little about a lot' rather than a lot about anything, but anyhoo. I like to learn stuff?

Python is my starting point, and so far I'm having fun even though I have not progressed much beyond "Hello, world!". Current observation on learning materials for beginning programmers: oh my god, y'all, not all of us want to learn programming because we are also math geeks. Some of us enjoy logic and problem solving but loaaaathe math. ( more rambling and pi(e) )

Is journaling even still a thing? Are y'all still out there? Anyhow, I have been having very bad brain for quite some time which has almost entirely disconnected me from the fannish community at large and left so much distance from so many people I care about...I miss you guys. I really have no point to this post except to make it, I guess. And say hi. HI! It really, really wasn't you. It was me. It still is me, but maybe I want to try being a little more present when I can at least.

Opinions please! Yes, I'm still neck deep in Sims 4. In fact, I need your help! I've got John and Rodney leveled up exactly where I want them to be (kept meaning to update, but short version is their antics are still hilarious to me) and am comfortable enough playing them/familiar with the new game mechanics that it's time to move the rest of the team in the house and start populating the rest of the town with various atlantis and sg-1 people so I can rotate and watch the madness unfold (I have plans for a Genii house on the same block as AR-1, so I can play the evil/mischief aspirations with Koyla in particular and torture John....shut up, I only do it because I love him).

ANYWAY. My issue is that I have no idea what to do with Ronon. Even though there is currently not a politician option for Teyla, there is the Friend of the World aspiration and it is traditional that I give her gardening as a hobby in my Sims games (which will also bring in enough money that she won't need a regular job and give her a second aspiration once she's Friend of the World). But for Ronon I'm sitting here looking at the options for both aspirations/hobbies and careers and I can't quite get a handle on how to play him. Career and/or aspiration goals? I'm STUMPED. Can't give him the fishing aspiration because NO ONE gets that until I have played Jack O'Neill through it. None of the tech options are appropriate. Space Ranger only goes to SGC military personnel IMO, and Space Smuggler doesn't feel like the right fit either so I think astronaut is out. Help me choose, y'all.

These are the aspirations I currently have to choose from

These are the career options

I don't necessarily have to have both. Rodney has no official career except for briefly when he needed to level up in the tech career for the computer whiz aspiration after he finished Nerd Brain (he does make a butt ton of money now that he's leveled up freelancing/programming from home). I can either give him a throwaway aspiration and ignore it in favor of concentrating on entirely on a career. Or I can have him be a stay-at-home sim and focus solely on an aspiration. Or a combination of the two.

So, I dunno. Secret Agent who does woodworking in his spare time is I think where I'm leaning? HELP ME OUT.

Trying to post more often even though I'm still feeling rather disconnected from the world at large :)

Not Sims related: I took a long break from Who pretty much as soon as I heard Eleven was leaving because I was not ready to say goodbye to him yet (did the same thing when I heard the Ponds were going). I wanted my goodbyes to be bittersweet but not resentful, with the edge of excitment that comes from goodbye always meaning 'hello' in the Whoverse. Finally felt ready and marathoned up through The Time Of The Doctor. Cried buckets. Oh Eleventy...you will always be my Doctor in a way I'm not sure can ever be replicated, much as I may love your other selves. I will try to be in a headspace to actually post about it soon, and before I start Twelve (I need a bit to collect myself, though I am indeed ready to say hello).

Sims related: Wow, the various sims forums/boards make the worst of fandom look like a puppy playground, y'all. I wouldn't participate with a ten foot pole, but just skimming them is like drowning in toxic waste. Would not recommend. Was curious in the wake of the epic wars going on with the release of 4, and decided to play 2 and 3 again today after having spent so much time in 4 to form comparison. 2 is still everything, and I immediately got sucked into losing my entire morning and had to make myself stop. I think 4 may overtake it eventually (more on that in a second), but until it does 2 remains the reigning champion, making up for it's limitations and what it lacks on pure WTF charm.

What surprised me is that upon booting up 3, I had...absolutely no desire to play it. None. Surprising because 3 has the most stuff to do and places to go, and I love stuff and things to do with my sims. But I realized that actually I had spent most of my 'playing' time in it building stuff. And rearranging stuff. And setting stuff up. And very little with the actual sims. Because they are cold. I'm all for projecting on to my sims (obviously), and half the fun of the game is what you bring in your imagination to the party. But 3 lacks intimacy in a way I'm not sure I can put my finger on, other than I didn't realize just how much it was a one way street until I was away for a bit. Felt like I was pushing around dolls instead of forming a relationship with them. The world is great. The stuff is great. And...I realized I don't much care if I don't feel like my sims are playing with me, rather than me playing them if that makes any sense at all.

Which is why I will firmly plant my flag in the 'fuck the haters' camp regarding 4. It lacks stuff, yes. It even lacks stuff that isn't excusable even for a base game, and it's a bit buggy in places. I don't care. These sims are so full of life and charm and personality, and the way the world is set up puts me up close and personal with them in the same way they are in 2, only with even better sims themselves. Stuff can be added. Places to go and things to do can be added, and no doubt will be in the billionty expansion packs I'll probably go broke buying. A sim who gets me emotionally invested is priceless. And the mere thought of what it's going to be once it's expanded beyond the base game. I really, honestly, and truly think it could not just reach but surpass the epicness that is 2. And quickly.

*facepalm*

A lot has happened in the lives of Sim John and Rodney, which I might write up later...some of it good, some hilariously bad, and some what hell (seriously, John and his unicorn). Also they are accidentally engaged now (I know it's too soon for that, but John was sad and jealous and Rodney and I panicked, okay...it'll be a long engagement). BUT JUST NOW. I. They've had a really active couple of days and today I was like, you know what I want? I want some boringly fluffy domestic curtain fic for a little while. And John just got promoted and had a space mission go really well, and Rodney leveled up in the observatory so I thought it might be nice reward for them too (shut up, I've become emotionally attatched). I SHOULD'VE KNOWN BETTER.

( Because John. Of course, John. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH YOU JOHN )

Day 2 in the life of Sims 4 Sim!John and Sim!Rodney...mostly for my own benefit because I want to be able to come back and remember this, because what the hell is this game, OMFG. I'll put it under the cut, because warning THIS GETS LONG.

( In which things go horribly wrong including angry woo hoo, bad woo hoo, a pocket full of cereal, anti-social John, Rodney gets in a bar fight, and not only can I not take these two chuckleheads ANYWHERE they are determined to jointly make my life as a sim!god as difficult as possible )

Random post is random. Anyhoo, ever since my son came home on vacation with the news that EA had released the entirety of Sims 2 for free (the offer is now over), I have fallen into a Sims hole that doesn't appear to have any end in sight. I rapidly acquired 3 and started playing that too, and then caved within a day of 4 being released so all three versions are on my computer now and I'm playing all of them. Since I have nothing else going on in my life and it's been forever since I made a post, let us talk about Sims 4.

Basically if you have read the arguments and the howling, all I gotta say is. Fuck the haters, this has the potential to be the best Sims game of all time, and is already a stupid amount of fun, and let me tell you why. The new multi-tasking plus emotions features are, in a nutshell, completely fucking AWESOME particularly when it comes to autonomous decisions by the sims. I wasn't even going to play any of my fannish households until more expansion material came out, but I became so enamoured with how utterly charming the Sims are in 4 with my randomized family (SO CHARMING), that I went ahead and made a John Sheppard and Rodney McKay to stick in a house.

( In which I babble about Sim!John's tragic life and a day in the new Sims 4 life with him and Sim!Rodney. Also, a pink unicorn and a robot )

Been absent for reasons, but why not make a random and utterly shallow post about Arrow out of nowhere? I can't think of a reason not to.

I started marathoning it last week as a method of avoiding vidding and am now in the back half of season 2 (I expect I will finish catching up by tomorrow or the next day). This show is ridiculously fun you guys. If you're not watching it already, give it a go. There are many, many reasons why I have ended up clapping my hands like a baby seal while watching. Many. Most of them related to the kind of absurd OTT superheroes/villians and the world they live in tropes that just please me in my soul and continually make me regret that (despite multiple efforts) the format of print comics does not, in general, work for me. Also, everyone ever shows up on it eventually. No, really everyone. You start thinking they have to run out of 'OMG that actor just showed up TOO?' moments eventually. Except they don't, they just keep on coming.

But I'm even shallower than that in terms of what can get me to make an actual post on the internet these days. Yeah, shipping. Obviously, anyone who has met me for more than five seconds would have known I'd jump on Felicity/Oliver practically from the second they met (I did). Brains/Brawn is towards the very top of my 'autoship' list. Make it awkward sciency brains plus emotionally broken brawn fighting crime and it may as well have been giftwrapped with a bow and a card saying 'For Eunice Specifically' on it. I ship it so hard you don't even know.

And then. AND THEN. So I've been flirting with various OT3 and multishipping options all along 'cause that's how I roll, and will likely do so for as long as I'm watching (particularly when they give me so many reasons to). BUT OH MY GOD, and now I cut because the very existence of this character is a spoiler:

( An OT3 OF MY VERY DREAMS )

It has been awhile since I have posted because reasons, but what the hey. I shall do a meme.

Anyone who feels like it should post their ten most CRUCIAL CRUCIAL CRUCIAL-ASS movies, like the movies that explain everything about yourselves in your current incarnations (not necessarily your ten favorite movies but the ten movies that you, as a person existing currently, feel would help people get to know you) (they can change later on obviously).

The direction I went with in picking the list was essentially movies that were deeply formative for whatever reason in my youth/young adulthood, because they are the roots of the tree that is me, or whatever silly metaphor you prefer. Unsurprisingly I have actually ended up vidding several of the movies list, heh. It was still tough narrowing, though. I...actually have no idea what this list says about me overall as a person.

The Muppet Movie
Empire Strikes Back
Valley Girl
The Right Stuff
Some Kind of Wonderful
Witness
Nightmare on Elm Street
Thelma and Louise
While You Were Sleeping
Terminator 2

Festivids reveal!

2014-02-09T14:45:11Z

Ack!! For reasons which boil down to 'brain' I thought today was Saturday and that I had a whole 24 hours before reveals to finish commenting and get my signed versions up. Did you know it's not Saturday and reveals are today? I just put the unsigned streaming in my posts for now, but will have signed up for downloading as well as streaming later this afternoon. Ooops?

This year I made:

This Could All Be Yours (Big) for rhoboat

and

Teardrop (Hard Candy) for goodbyebird

So you guys. FESTIVIDS IS HAPPENING. I have not been great with the words and the brain of late, and I wanted to make my GO WATCH MY VIDS SOMEONE MADE FOR ME post when I had better words (and to my festividders for whom I was only able to manage random flailing capslock, I swear better comments are coming from me when I do). But I'm not sure when words are happening so I point them to you with the flailing anyway.

So y'all.

Stop Dragging My Heart Around (Indiana Jones). An Indy/Marion vid, you guys. I got an Indy/Marion vid. On the off chance that didn't cause you to go running (not walking) towards the link, what is wrong with you. I'll just be over there flapping my hands in an embarrassing fashion that ends with me accidentally hitting myself in the face and then not caring that I may have broken my own nose.

The Moment of Truth and Tonight You're Perfect (The Last Starfighter). And I also got not one, but TWO The Last Starfighter vids. TWO OF THEM. For meeeee and my mom. In a circumstance where 'your mom' is the exact opposite of an insult and a thing of LOVE. I will be honest with you now that this has happened, that I actually spent some of the run up to festivids secretly pouting a bit expecting that I wouldn't get a Last Starfighter vid at all and I really, really wanted one? AND THEN I GOT TWO. Both of which gave me so many feelings y'all. So. Many. Feelings. I can't. Words. THIS MOVIE. MY CHILDHOOD. THESE VIDDERS. MY MOM.
