Dear Equinox Vidder
Aug. 29th, 2018 02:57 pmI am so excited about this challenge. I love all of these fandoms. I love the vidders who participate. I love this theme! Thank you so much for making me a vid. I am excited to see what you make!
I like a lot of information and squee in a dear vidder letter. I'm pretty flexible with most things, so if you do have a preexisting idea that you are eager to explore that you think I may like, feel free to just jump in.
MUSIC: Vids often introduce me to new music and they often allow me to appreciate a song I might not otherwise enjoy. That said, I generally prefer female artists and my music taste is eclectic. My most recent Spotify listening history: Janelle Monae, Kesha, New Orleans Brass bands, Perfume Genius, Mamma Mia soundtracks, Steven Universe soundtrack, The Spy Who Dumped Me soundtrack, Magnetic Fields, Motown, and Sleater Kinney. I also love vids with unusual audio sources.
VID STYLES: I'm here for all* of it! LKBV, deadly-serious crack vids, dance vids, character studies, super earnest "I would die for you" ship vids, etc. I just really want a vid with positive feels (or angst with humor).
TRIGGERS: I am migraine-sensitive to stutter edits between shots with extreme contrast that feature fast-motion within the frame as well. Most stutter edits and strobing do not trigger me. I appreciate other triggers being listed, so I can more easily share them with friends.
A WRINKLE IN TIME: I love this! I love Meg's character transformation and how she gains confidence through the very scary prospect of repeatedly folding time-and-space. I love Meg's relationship with Mrs. Which, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Whatsit and how they guide her and support her learning process. I love the dynamic between Mrs. Which, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Whatsit. And I am *totally here* for wise-Oprah-goddess figure. Honestly, there's no one that I outright hate in this (except the IT, obvs), so no need to cut around the supportive boys or Meg's complicated feelings about her dad. And I also really appreciate Charles Wallace and Calvin being completely enamored and impressed by Meg, as well as their teamwork throughout their adventures.
THE MAGICIANS: I fucking love this show. I love everyone in this bar. My biggest faves are definitely Margo, Eliot, and Quentin (I should really be annoyed with Quentin and yet I always love him even when he's being a doofus?!). I adore Josh and I adore the Fairy Queen. LIKE A LOT. I love the politics of this show. I love how Fillory is this fantastic otherworldly place of myth and magic for the magical kids of Earth, but when they get there they are confronted with corruption, exploitation, and the same horrors that exist on Earth. I also appreciate that the more we see of the library, the more the concept of the Archive is interrogated. The tag for Harriet (Marlee Matlin) was not available, but I would be delighted to receive a character study of her and her relationship with the Library, as well.
I love the queerness of the show, and the very blatant parallels of magic and queerness. I love how they continually navigate decisions that place their personal wants, their responsibilities to each other, and their responsibilities to justice in conflict.
When it comes to shipping, my faves are probably Margo/Eliot/Quentin, Margo/the Fairy Queen (I know I know but I can't help it), Eliot/Quentin, and Josh/everyone. Julia is amazing. Penny is incredible. Kady is fine. Buuuuuuuut Alice annoys me to no end :/ which is just to say, I'd prefer not to get a character-study of Alice or an Alice-intersecting ship vid (with the exception of Josh/everyone).
I also really appreciate the friendships of Margo & Eliot (shippy only when Quentin is there as well), and Julia and Quentin, who have some deep sibling-level understanding of one another.
STAR TREK: VOYAGER: JANEWAYYYYYY my love. Let's talk about Janeway and time travel. The environmentalist in me thinks that she *should* care about the integrity of the timeline, but also that there's clearly not enough timeline science understood at her point in the timeline for her to routinely know how to maintain that integrity. But also I love how she generally doesn't give a fuck about messing it up if it is just yknow, realllllly important... like saving Seven *heartpupils*
Captain Janeway/Seven of Nine/Admiral Janeway/time travel/Borg Queen is probably my ultimate OT5?? but if you want to just stick with Janeway/time travel, I'd be thrilled too. Voyager is like a home for me, so my lack of elaborating is just because my love for Janeway is that pure and true.
TIMELESS: Yay goofy travel through time to fight fascism show! And lets be real: Rittenhouse is timey-wimey fascism. I have ships but do I care about a shipping vid? not so much? I mean, if I had a ship it would be the biggest mothership of all time with like, 8 people in it. Chosen family, queerness, confronting the realities of traveling in history as poc and/or female, multiple timelines, triangles that should be triads, well, this show has it all.
My favorite character is hands down Denise Christopher. A character study of Denise Christopher would make me elated. A vid exploring the core team of Lucy, Wyatt, Rufus, and Jiya would also be great, but I think mostly in the context of that list above (chosen family, queerness, etc.) Though now that I think about it, Lucy, Wyatt, Rufus, and Jiya are a perfect sedoratu? p.s. I am a big fan of Garcia Flynn, fwiw.
WAREHOUSE 13: And here's the symmetry with Voyager: time-travel as conduit to femslash. Myka and H.G. give me *heartpupils* I don't know what else to say about that. Myka seems to step into the challenge of self-actualization more just by knowing H.G., and H.G. allows herself to feel because Myka lets her feel love again. Their whole relationship leaves me undone.
As for everyone else...I love the whole team. I love their mission and I love Lena, Claudia, Steve, Artie, and Pete. I love the hilarious scenario of Jeri Ryan playing Pete's ex, and Kate Mulgrew playing his mom. Speaking of which, Jane Lattimer and Irene Frederick were totally exes or a couple or something. I dig their co-parenting of Claudia through the Steve-crisis.
Hijinks with magical objects are much appreciated. The show is just FUN.
p.s. It may be important to note that I actively chose to not watch Season 5 and it does not exist for me? I know what happened in it, but oooof that seemed both bad and a very different understanding of the show than I had.
I think that covers it? Thank you so much for making me a vid! Choose what makes you excited to vid it!
