Fanvid, say what??

[dollsome]

This is the first time I have fanvidded in ages, like, over a year. I have come to fear subjecting my poor old computer to the myriad evils of Windows Movie Maker, but some things are worth it, by Jove. (I'm also pretty sure I had homework today. Whoopsies!)

I was totally random in my song selection here, because this one's such a jaunty upbeat ditty about unhealthy relationships & perpetual heartbreak that I never quite thought to associate it with them. But then I just kept going, and going, and going, and now, somehow, there is a fanvid.

Props to oltha_heri, who is the DeWitt/Dom + Florence & The Machine fanvidding pioneer! Go watch her Hardest of Hearts if you haven't already; SO MUCH THAT IS PRETTY.

I feel like I should admit up front for the sake of things like honesty that I possibly went a bit overboard with the whole 'Roger is totally Adelle's substitute Dominic, zomg!' theme. Some things cannot be stopped!

These are all season one clips, so no need to beware of spoilers! Unless, you know, you're really behind.

(I may or may not have picked my embedding border colours to match Adelle's office. Hum dee dum.)

I'm Not Calling You A Liar

I'm not calling you a liar,
Just don't lie to me
I'm not calling you a thief,
Just don't steal from me
I'm not calling you a ghost,
Just stop haunting me
And I'll love you so much
I'm gonna let you
Kill me

There's a ghost in my lungs
And it sighs in my sleep,
Wraps itself around my tongue
As it softly speaks,
And it walks,
And it walks with my legs
To fall
To fall
To fall at your feet

There but for the grace of God go on
And when you kiss me, I'm happy enough to die.

Thank you, buddy! ♥ And yes, I did get them, thank you so much! And by some miracle, I actually managed to convert it to an avi. I don't even know how I figured that out. I am feeling Topher levels of technological geniusness at this moment.

And OH MY GOD, seriously, how is her whole album so applicable it makes my brain want to explode! I totally had that thought about "Girl With One Eye" earlier. I'll cut your little heart out, 'cause you made me cry. I have always tended to associate that song with femmeslashy stuff (yo, Buffy/Faith!) because it's a woman singing about/to a woman, but now that I'm thinking about it, that would be awesome to do from Dom's pov.

AND DO NOT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON "BLINDING." No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong one. Sob! Adelle! Miss Lonelyhearts! And of course the This is a gift, it comes with a price from "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)" has always reminded me of their "I trusted you with a gift, Mr. Dominic" / "The Dollhouse isn't a gift" exchange. Okay. Now I'm tempted to see if I can do this for every track on Lungs, jeez! Yeah, that's right, (... nonexistent) CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

"Hurricane Drunk" - Adelle's downward spiral into alcoholism in season two!

"Dog Days Are Over" has always reminded me of Adelle, especially Leave all your love and your longing behind, you can't carry it with you if you want to survive. And! And I never wanted anything from you except everything you had and what was left after that too exudes total D/D vibes.

"Kiss With A Fist" is totally, like, the musical equivalent of the surge of irrational LOOK AT THOSE BAMFS joy that comes from witnessing, say, THE POWERWALKING.

And, okay, my God, I should stop myself now. Seriously, THEY ARE EATING MY LIFE. I am, however, allowing it to run rampant & unchecked, because our time with them is limited. And therefore it's totally okay to be this crazy!

I usually associate "Girl With One Eye" with femmeslashy too (and Buffy/Faith, squee!) but as I believe we know D/D has eaten my brain. I was seeing it from Adelle's perspective. For me the D/D in "Dog Days" is "Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that." AND KISS WITH A FIST!!!! If I hadn't spent quite so long on my Uther/Morgana vid to it I totally would be working on a D/D vid for it (as it is I cannot yet listen to that song without the scenes I put to it 'cause I worked on it for way too long).

Yeah, that's right, (... nonexistent) CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
DO IT!!! (but only if I can double up on some things :D)

It's really hard I'm trying to figure out how to enable you while stopping myself, but I just can't 'cause every time I mention them I'm like OMG MUST HONOR THEM IN SOME FORM! FIC, VID, PICSPAM ALL MUST BE MADE!!!!

Also have you seen tonight's HIMYM yet. I have an idea a horrible crack-y idea I need to be dissuaded from.

I am actually, for real, laughing aloud. GLEE OVERWHELMS ME.

You know it's just gonna happen. I will have no self control. None. Echo as Lilly offering world peace?

IT'S JUST HE LOVES HIS SUITS! I MUST RESPECT THAT!

Fine, with that threat in mind I'll do it. I'm totally being pressured into it. It almost even isn't my idea. AND OH MY GOD THERE WILL BE BONUS ADELLE FOOTAGE! 'Cause even if it isn't a suit she is a sharp dresse, I think matching Arizona outfits must be included. I SHOULD NOT BE GETTING THIS EXCITED!

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

YES YOU SHOULD! THIS IS EXCITING AND IMPORTANT BUSINESS! Ahahaha! And I remember, months and months ago, something drove me to compare D/D to Barney/Robin. Suited up blonde guy, badass brunette chick, being slightly unorthodox in their soulmatehood and utter matchiness! (Barney/Robin: lasertag! Cigars! Scotch!; D/D: torturing people and giggling over it! It's perfect!)

In short, this fanvid is destiny.

OMG. YESS. Someone DO THIS NOW.

Please.

It just might turn into a drug, Dom and that song! :D
