Film: Third Star (2010) - starring Benedict Cumberbatch, JJ Feild, Tom Burke…

Song: It’s Time - Imagine Dragons

Spoilers/Trigger Warnings: none as far as I can tell

Comment: Probably the simplest fanvid I ever did because the song is so matchy-matchy with the rhythm and the general feeling of the movie.

Completely obscure fandom, and yet also probably my favourite vid so far. It turned out more joyful than I first intended, even though there is at least one moment in the middle that's a bit dark, but in the end I think it also suits the movie, which is not as hopeless as it seems, while it treats its subject with a lot respect.

tl;dr: movie pretty & much emotion, wanted to make vid on pretty & emotional song, Benedict Cumberbatch is brilliant, and so are Tom Burke and JJ Feild

I've bought myself the complete Buffy DVD box set, from season 1 to 7, and I'm rewatching the whole thing these days between bouts of hard work... God it's so brilliant; 15 years after the show was created, it still rocks my world. Joss you bastard.

Meme stolen from goldylost :

I approves of this result. Although I have doubts about my "organizational skills" (*turns around to look at own room* *bursts laughing nervously*), I do think McGonagall is the coolest character in Harry Potter (in the "official" version of this test, like, IRL, I'm supposed to be ENFP though. Mmmh. This sounds a bit like a horoscope, doesn't it?)
And while I'm here, two vids that make life worth living:
This one made me laugh so hard I think I don't have intestines anymore -- they've decided to go live somewhere quieter (BBC Sherlock):

And this one was made by disastrolabe  (link will direct you to the post on her journal), mixing V for Vendetta and Taio Cruz's "Dynamite", it's FUCKING AWESOME:

I'M *STILL* WORKING ON MY FUCKING SCRIPTS. FUCK MY LIFE.

So before I can come back with fic (yes, TAoLaC chapter 3, and nothing else ^^), here are some recs of BBC Sherlock fics -- including specific categories like "matchmaker!Mycroft" and "dysfunctional, crazy-as-fuck!Sherlock" -- categories which I enjoy particularly.
They're all Sherlock/John slash fics (except the few ones about the Holmes brothers <3 not incestuous, mind you; there is also a category for "Other/Unclassifiable") -- because any other pairing wouldn't work for me. Yes, I love Rupert Graves as Lestrade, yes I love Moriarty -- heck, I love all of them, even Anderson (and sometimes *especially* Anderson XD). But Sherlock and John to me is an unbreakable OTP -- Sherlock or John with anyone else just feels very wrong to me. And they need to be together, as in, fucking each other's brains out. I've noticed that asexual!Sherlock fics kind of make me sad, no matter how well written and IC and logical they are -- intellectually, I understand where the current trend in the fandom is coming from, and I guess I also possess the intellectual tools to understand asexuality in general, but it just doesn't compute with my philosophy of life, which is basically a very sexual one. It clashes so much with my first instincts that it's like a whole alien civilization to me. So, no asexual!Sherlock fics, even though I've read perfectly good and interesting ones.

Oh, but I've included some fanvids too -- it's on the house! This post also contains various stupid gifs, some of them a little heavy. Sissy bandwidths may want to keep out.

( I found a whole new way to love you )

[edit] By the way, if there are fics (Sherlock or otherwise) you want to rec me, don't hesitate to share on this post! ^^

Or maybe more like a care package. Just a few random considerations, some fic recs, fanvids... the usual fangirl raving, which hereby justifies a shiny new "sherlock holmes" tag, say hi.

(BTW, next post will be all about London, which is a truly fantastic city; whereas the second amuse-bouche for The Art of Love and Cooking will be up next week when I return to Paris.)

Notes: First vid ever, hurray! ^^ I have to say I hate the original song, but fell in love with this version. When I heard it the first time, I practically had the whole vid planned out in my head. So, here it is (new links, the previous have been shot down - bite me and drop dead, Fox and Youtube) :

To respect the english-speaking persons I'm talking about in this post, I wrote it in English - I promise it's not a vanity on my part ^^

I'm currently translating my GacktxMiyavi fic from French to English, it's kinda difficult (since I wrote it and all, the style is definitely an issue) but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. *crosses fingers*

Anyway, before all hell breaks loose, I was thinking I could write a post to talk about some extraordinary artists on LJ who have inspired me a great deal, and are related some way or another to my OTP, GacktxMiyavi, of which there is just not enough around, people.
Do something about it.
