197: My Happy Place

Oct 09, 2009 10:44

Things have been kind of rough for the House of TFV lately. But one major good thing has been that we have finally gotten my desk and computer all set up. Which means I can retreat to one of my fannish happy places: vids. And these vids are happy indeed.

\o/! (and hope things continue on with the getting happier)

Thank you! And, hey, at least a return to recommending is a step in the right direction, right?

Oh God, One Night Fandoms always makes me SO HAPPY. THERE ARE SO MANY OBSCURE THINGS I LOVE AND I LOVE YULETIDE MOST OF ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.

God, I know. I want to wrap my arms around the vidders and say, "You get me! You really GET me!" And Yuletide really is my favorite of all fannish events. Even now, I can feel the meta welling up inside me. (Yes, I show love with meta. DON'T JUDGE ME.)

juniper200 called Apple Candy "a song for people who can count past two. In bed."

I feel odd about Yuletide, as I got into fandom through some very tiny groups and weird-for-fandom crowds, so I can understand the fuss but at the same time...well, it was like what you describe, but all the time instead of just a few months, and everything was surprising. So yeah.

That makes me love juniper200 to a ludicrous degree.

See, I feel insanely loving about Yuletide, because Yuletide is why I'm even here. I was floundering in some truly horrible archives, and then I found Yuletide and Dorinda's Ocean's 11 story and my heart just exploded. It was exactly what I'd been looking for! But I can see why, if you came in through Yuletide fandoms but in non-Yuletide settings, it would not be quite the same for you.

I make those changes, too! Without even meaning to, about half the time I sing it "I wanna tell him that I love him but the point is probably moot." The song just slashes itself, really.

And, frankly, I would love a vid in which Kirk and Uhura fight over Spock, as long as it ended with them realizing he's Vulcan enough for two. *dreams*

It is the slashiest song in the world. I love it so!

This list makes me happy!

BB: Aw, that was great. A tribute to all things -
Me, delightedly: TARDIS!
BB, giving me a Look: - Doctor.

Pfft. The TARDIS is the true brains of the operation. She just lets her Time Lord pet *think* he's in charge.

Pfft. The TARDIS is the true brains of the operation. She just lets her Time Lord pet *think* he's in charge.

This is obviously true! Otherwise, why is it he can't ever get to where he wants to go? The TARDIS just likes company, that's all, and that's why the Doctor is there. And also he can reach the really itchy place in her central bubble array and sometimes he hits her voom screen just right.

...Why, no, I don't secretly slash the Doctor and the TARDIS. Not at all.
