Title: All the Good Girls Go to Hell
Fandom: Shadow and Bone (Netflix)
Characters: Inej Ghafa, Kaz/Inej, Darkling/Alina (background)
Music: 'All the Good Girls Go to Hell' by Billie Eilish
Length: 2:45
Warnings: Violence. Many references to canonical exploitation and non-con. Blasphemy? Medically inadvisable levels of yearning. Oh, and the song starts super quiet, so don't go jacking your speakers up.
Spoilers: Season one. Heavily and inevitably influenced by the Six of Crows books, but no need to have read.

Summary: Rough Work if you can get it.

V/N: ijustshipitsomuch If you have ever shipped anything I have ever shipped, get on this fandom, stat.

So, apparently this song is about climate change. Hahahahah . . . sorry? Look, I made 'Celebrity Skin' a song about a nun and 'Sugar Daddy' about a literal tweed-clad angel: I'm clearly a menace. With religious issues.

My great thanks to [personal profile] elisi for overcoming covid itself to finish the show and give this thing a look before I put it out to the world and for generally putting up with me when I'm like this and she didn't need any more fannish obsessions right now. *ahem*

UPDATE: [personal profile] elisi has written an utterly massive and brilliant commentary for this vid, which also devolves into a general meta about the show and a look at [personal profile] purplefringe's gorgeous Hallelujah vid.

A/N: So, this vid would not exist at all without [personal profile] owlboy. Thoughts )

A million thanks to both [personal profile] elisi and [personal profile] owlboy for beta-ing and EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AND APPRECIATED flailing.

And last but not least, I do rather consider this vid a companion piece to my Crowley vid Read My Mind.

A/N: Thank you as always to [personal profile] elisi for beta-ing and moral support. I don't shine if you don't shine. And a special thank you to [personal profile] purplefringe, whose beautiful Rory Williams vid to this song made me fall in love with it in the first place. So y'all should go watch that too!

A/N: For Owls, who taught me how to love series nine. And for Elisi, who taught me how to love vids and reached through the internet to make this happen.

-----------------------------

I'm the Doctor. I've lived for over two thousand years, and not all of them were good. I've made many mistakes, and it's about time that I did something about that.

-- Twelfth Doctor, 'Deep Breath'



Just as the one-eyed merchant, seller of currants, melts into the Phoenician Sailor, and the latter is not wholly distinct from Ferdinand Prince of Naples, so all the women are one woman, and the two sexes meet in Tiresias. What Tiresias sees, in fact, is the substance of the poem.

-- T.S. Eliot, Notes to 'The Waste Land'



Water always wins.

-- Tenth Doctor, 'Waters of Mars'

Both of these vids basically have the same story: I was browsing through Festivids, I watched this vid about something I hadn't seen before, I played it obsessively about twenty times, and then I dropped everything to watch the source material because it looked so great. And, indeed, it was great, as are these vids. The end.

Paper Planes by [personal profile] shati is about Bandidas, the fabulously campy movie about Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek robbing banks in old-time-y Mexico that you never knew you needed. Also features a great cover of the title song.

Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny by [livejournal.com profile] amathela is about The Middleman, an unfairly canceled genre show that deserves way more cult favorite attention than it gets, for reasons that The AV Club explains in much better detail than I can. Fair warning: I have recced this show and this vid before. Pesterings will continue until all are in compliance.

Gratitude

A very big thank you to whatever kind person nominated my vid for the [livejournal.com profile] wicked_awards! I am very flattered.

. . . now is it Doctor Who time yet?
promethia_tenk: (clara who)
So I made a vid . . . my first . . . please be kind *frets*

A/N: For Elisi. Who likes vids, I hear ; ) And without whom this would not exist.
This has basically been eating my life for a month and a half.
I assume this song is horribly over-vidded?
