I need to watch this movie! This is such a compelling vid.

New vid, premiere for CONfabulation 2025: Chasing Cars (fandom Given, Mafuyu/Yuki, Mafuyu/Ritsuka (cw: suicide)), grief, music, and moving on www.youtube.com/watch?v=28hR..., archiveofourown.org/works/71456431

This was hilarious!

Got asked for Kdrama vid recs, so gonna make a short little thread! These will all be recs for vids where I've seen the source, and is not in any way meant to be a comprehensive collection of my favorites. (I may also forget to add CWs for stuff, so please check out AO3 for vidder's notes on those.)

Slightly diminish a band: Good Big Sea

I'm sorry Big Freedia but in 2025 you can't sing "you are my alpha and my omega" and mean beginning and end. I don't make the language rules, you just can't.

WATCH THIS AND THEN WATCH JEONGNYEON

I premiered a #Jeongnyeon vid at #DCSlashCon2025 focused on the middle-aged disaster theater lesbian breakup! If that sounds fun, check out the vid! (And the show!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWXj... archiveofourown.org/works/68223966

watching jeongnyeon one episode per week is a great pace because in the intervening days it's like the group chat forgets how incredibly gay it is, and so we get pleasantly blindsided each time any of the characters interact

I had two #KDrama vids premiere in themed shows at @vidukon.bsky.social for #VidUKon2025 Salute, for @rhea314.bsky.social 's Fuck the Patriarchy show, about the wonderful women of Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born AO3: archiveofourown.org/works/64496689 YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbXi...

NEW VID BY ME: I made a VidUKon premiere! It's about Star Trek Voyager and how much the show loves b-movie scifi and it's goofy and full of my emotions. A Bride of Chaotica! vid! archiveofourown.org/collections/...

I made a Roman Holiday vid for VidUKon this year and it's now live on AO3 and youtube! This is one of my favourite movies of all time and it was such a joy to play with it. archiveofourown.org/works/66065305 www.youtube.com/watch?v=mp4U...

A crash course on why the right-wing (American) (Catholics) hate the new pope. I knew some of this (they hate Vatican II. HATE it), but not in detail. And the Catholic Church is never going to be a left-leaning organization. But there are degrees to which it is more or less regressive.

This is YET ANOTHER tapdancing over the top of an issue that's probably had enough ink and blood spilled over it to fill the Great Lakes five times over and oh god I am simplifying SO FUCKING MUCH here, sigh, but, importantly for our purposes of this thread:

Watching the Wheel Of Time finale and this shit is crazy, Mat just met Pennywise if he was in Cats and this other lady has a Ghostbusters gun

Wheel of Time actually goes the other direction, as Jordan belatedly late in the series acknowledges that gay people exist and that it just happens less often, and the WoT people are cool with it, and it's because fans asked him about it and he got embarrassed that he had forgotten to put any in

This might be the greatest Murderbot ad ever?? Awkward: The Show www.tumblr.com/g1ngan1nja/7...

What if someone else who wasn't me had decided to ask ChatGPT for my bio? What if that someone else had trusted ChatGPT? I knew the information was false. Not everybody would have. The only way to find out would have been to check other sources, which is what someone using LLMs wants to avoid.

Look...everybody likes a good shortcut. But LLMs aren't one. They're a longcut. They appear to save time, but they take away control. This isn't even touching on the many, many ethical and environmental concerns (others have done that). This is about integrity of data.

Okay, a lot of people are expressing outrage about this, and I also feel outrage about this, but since everyone else has already expressed my feelings for me, I'm going to put on my Teacher of Analytical Thinking Pants and point out something important.

"They look like sources but they're not" is something everyone needs to learn, and I'm frankly shocked the Worldcon people didn't know this.

#WoTShowSpoilers #TheWheelOfTime I feel a lot more settled about Siuan's death than I felt initially. It helps A LOT knowing that Rafe and Sophie Okonedo talked about it and came to that decision together. And I'm interested to see what Rafe meant saying that it's not the last we'll see of her.

#WotShowSpoilers #WotSkies This thread is considered, compassionate, and sage. The words worth reading and heeding. I've read through several times and keep going back to it.

I'm still impressed that the Wheel Of Time adaption is still actually good in season 3. I've read the books, and am glad they've decided to not worry about putting every tiny thread and detail into the series, and instead are focusing on the core story.
