mayhap: four magpies in a tree from a medieval manuscript (magpie tree)
Some straight-up fae magic here by hurleybird. The actual sources are the Netflix series Cursed and the CW series Legacies, but the edit is astonishing.



Makes me want to reread the Folk of the Air books again.
mayhap: straw goat drinking coffee with text yule goat (yule goat)
That's a thing if your family is Scandinavian. Enjoy this fine festive video!

mayhap: Lorenzo Cain and Salvador Pérez celebrating (hermanos)
The Royals aren't playing today, so have this great vid of Lorenzo Cain and Salvador Pérez as Perfect Strangers:



(So that's the show that Family Matters spun off of! I'm pretty sure I never actually saw it.)
mayhap: Inui throws stuff into his juice (Inui Juice)
Hannibal got renewed for a third season! And NBC didn't even wait until the last possible second to deliver the good news! Let us celebrate with crack vids set incongruously to pop songs and musicals!


"Can You Feel the Love Tonight" (The Lion King) by boxbubblify / [tumblr.com profile] idontcareeverythingisrainbows

Everything about this vid is perfection. Especially casting Alana and Jack in the roles Timon and Pumbaa.


"A Whole New World" (Aladdin) by boxbubblify / [tumblr.com profile] idontcareeverythingisrainbows

Again, perfect.


"When You're Evil" (Voltaire) by boxbubblify / [tumblr.com profile] idontcareeverythingisrainbows

I hadn't heard this song before! It is hilarious and actually already perfect for Hannibal, unlike some of the so-wrong-it's-right in this batch of vids.


"Call Me Maybe" (Carly Rae Jepsen) by mresundance

This song is totally evil, so in that sense it's very appropriate. *g*


"Gentleman" (Psy) by Vivisextion

Luckily the vid has English subtitles for the Korean lyrics so non-Korean speakers can appreciate the beautiful clip choices.


"If You Were Gay" (Avenue Q) by me1thinks2

And finally: perfect.
mayhap: Inui's glasses shining (shiny glasses)
Everyone who likes rare fandoms and vids probably already knows about [community profile] festivids, yeah? This year's masterlist is here, with a few of my personal favorites below.

Spring Break Anthem
Fandom: Arrested Development
Song: Spring Break Anthem by The Lonely Island
I'm a sucker for a good Lonely Island vid, and could there possibly be a more perfect song for a GOB/Tony Wonder vid?


221B and a Half
Fandom: The Great Mouse Detective
Song: 221B and Borodin's Nocturne by Vincent Starrett and Joshua Bell
Sherlock Holmes was my first fandom and in many ways it is still the dearest to my heart. One of the best things was that by the time I discovered Holmes at age twelve, there was already over a century of fan material out there to explore.


Tik Tik Tok Tok
Fandom: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Song: Tik Tok by Ke$ha
Hilarious! Perfect pairing of song and source.


Stars
Fandom: Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
Song: Stars by Heather Dale
Really lovely.


Banging Them Together
Fandom: Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Song: Drive My Car by The Beatles
Funny vids are pretty much my favorite kind, and this is another incredibly funny vid.
mayhap: a hand launches a paper plane over an aqueduct (travels)
  • When you don't actually have public transportation to take, you get out of practice at maintaining your balance on a moving train, even though you still think that you should be able to do it.

  • In spite of your optimistic plans, you are not likely to get much written on your NaNo when you have people to talk to that you haven't seen in years. At least one of the things we talked about extensively was NaNo, so there was a kind of progress there.

  • If you wear a TARDIS scarf around Boston, you will get comments on it. The ticket guy at the JFK archives wished me a happy 50th anniversary of the Doctor this weekend, and some guy on the street downtown asked me if it was bigger on the inside. (Answer: yes, of course it is! I mean, it's a scarf, and you can't really open it up without damaging it, so you can't prove that it's not.) This hasn't happened in the Kansas City metro area yet. I'm just saying.

  • Half the advertisements on the T are for incredibly specific medical studies, like right-handed people 18-25 who will fill out a survey about their childhood memories.

  • There are at least three superb Thor vids to Lonely Island songs: (Loki is) Like a Boss, Threw it on the Ground, and I Just Had Sex. These made us and everyone we showed them to very happy.

  • Southwest Airlines sometimes employs child labor to hand out in-flight snacks. To be fair, the child labor seemed pretty excited about it.

mayhap: Hobbes the tiger has an idea (idea!)
I kind of really want to vid Tony/Pepper to the Dar Williams song The Ocean. Actually, I kind of want to vid Tony/Pepper to every other song that comes up on shuffle lately, but this one has stuck with me.

... I'm going to have to learn how to actually make a vid, aren't I. Dammit.
mayhap: young Steve Jobs and Bill Gates with text Slash Different (Slash different.)
The nice people at the Apple Store are fixing up my keyboard and repairing my microphone, to boot. Unfortunately, that means the nice people at the Apple Store have my laptop. Apologies to anyone waiting on me to do anything involving files on said laptop.

The people at the Genius Bar never even ask why I keep showing up with a bunch of keys randomly detached and/or missing. I'm not sure why their counterparts in New York keep giving [livejournal.com profile] satyadasa and [livejournal.com profile] medievalist a hard time when they haven't even been abusing their computers as I do mine.

Anyway, sans laptop, I've been watching random stuff on YouTube, as you do. Two nicely complementary Ouran High School Host Club vids: Tamaki can't wait to be king and Kumori Kingu Kyouya.
