Dear Festividder
Oct. 17th, 2022 10:13 pmDear Festividder,
Thank you for making a vid for me! I really appreciate you sharing your time, talents, and love.
I will most likely enjoy whatever you make, so please don't stress about it too much.
Stuff I like: queer stuff, diversity in TV and movies, kink, romance, warm feelings, found family, activism, animals, friendship, science fiction and fantasy, hugs, kissing, sexually explicit scenes, fluff, dancing, angst is OK too, disabled characters, fat characters, characters of color, music by marginalized creators, tough women, soft men, action and adventure, OT3s, OT4s (etc), any genre of music.
Stuff I dislike: Songs by abusers*, rape scenes, suicide scenes. I'm not fond of ableist lyrics, including common lyrics like "blind" and "crazy". I don't like slurs in lyrics either. Swear words are fine though, as are sexually explicit lyrics. Not into torture scenes.
*Search the artist's name and "abuse" or "harassment", see if there are reputable links; if not you're probably good.
Requests in no particular order.
1. 120 battements par minute | BPM: Beats per Minute (2017) [SAFETY], Gorgeous and heart-breaking movie about Paris ACT UP. This film is so inspiring and affecting and realistic. I think I'm a fandom of one and I'm trying to get other folks to watch this movie!
I wrote a bit about this film here: https://sasha-feather.dreamwidth.org/1259299.html
2. Thirteen Lives, 2022, [SAFETY] - dir. Ron Howard, starring Viggo Mortensen and Colin Farrell.
I love this scripted depiction of the Thai cave rescue that happened in 2018, in which 13 young people were successfully rescued from a flooded cave, a seemingly impossible task. I also loved the documentary "The Rescue"; feel free to use footage from that if you like. Real-life footage from news sources would also be interesting.
It's clearly a big story with a lot of facets. I loved how this movie gave time to the wisdom and expertise of local villagers. I ship the two main divers depicted (Mortensen and Farrell's characters). But anything about this movie would be awesome. :)
3. Andor (TV 2022). I am absolutely in love with this show right now, how it actually engages with racism, police violence, and the fascism of the Empire. I love Diego Luna's face, the costumes, the sets and locations. I'm super here for Vel/Cinta (the two rebel women involved in the heist). I love Cassian's whole story.
I'm not interested in something that humanizes or celebrates the Empire's people.
4. The Expanse (TV), Space Opera with so many cool characters. I especially love Naomi, Drummer, Bobbie, Amos, Prax, and Chrisjen. I ship Amos/Prax. Really anything you want to do with show would be amazing.
5. Spy (2015 movie) [SAFETY], super funny Melissa McCarthy comedy with f/f vibes. I would love a gay take on the main characters or something that celebrates friendship and the goofy humor of the movie.
6. God's Own Country (2017) [SAFETY], Rural queers, raising sheep! I am a queer who grew up on a hobby farm where we raised sheep, so this story is very dear to my heart. A friend of mine noted that the queer love at the center of the story heals the whole family. It also pushes back against toxic masculinity. This is a beautiful movie and I'd love any kind of vid for it.
7. Pride (2014) [SAFETY], Queers organizing to help aid miners on Strike! This is a wonderful film about activism, solidarity, and coalition building. I'm especially fond of Andrew Scott playing Gethin, a rural queer. All the characters are great and I'd love anything you choose to do here!
Thank you again you rule!
