This Stray Italian Greyhound by silly_cleo - Pollyanna (2003) - Pollyanna Whittier & Polly Harrington
Characters: Pollyanna Whittier, Polly Harrington

For all your chosen family feels needs. ALL OF THEM.

For You by silly_cleo - Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey (1993)


I DARE you to watch this without crying. Seriously. SO many tears. SO MANY. (Don't worry, they're happy tears, I promise)

they're good dogs Brent by bessyboo, Platinumvampyr - @dog_rates | WeRateDogs - Characters: @dog_rates | WeRateDogs - Character, Brent

Okay, this one might have made me cry too. THEY'RE GOOD DOGS BRENT. So many good, good dogs.

Wondaland by eruthros - Wondaland Arts Society RPF

First vid of the year to send me down a rabbit hole of exciting new-to-me music. Also, all the feels about community and art and choosing your narrative. Just wonderful.

Battle Cry by absternr - America (Comic)

PERFECT SONG CHOICE IS PERFECT. This vid is one tightly-woven minute of everything I love about America Chavez.

Caught Fire - by thingswithwings - Underground (TV) - Rosalee (Underground)

Sometimes I watch vids for sources I haven't seen, and I'm really, really glad I did. This is phenomenal. Tight cuts, wonderful, building momentum and brilliant song choice. Warnings for blood, violence and depictions of slavery.

Monstars Hype Mix by eruthros - Space Jam (1996)

It's the audio editing that really makes this vid. It's just such a perfect marriage of footage and audio, I'm in awe.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by runawaynun - 1988 Winter Olympics Figure Skating RPF - Katarina Witt, Elizabeth Manley, Debi Thomas, Jill Trenary, Midori Ito

1988 was the year I fell in love with Figure Skating, and this vid just brought back ALL my eight-year-old hearts in my eyes feels.

Hey Ya by bironic - What We Do in the Shadows (2014)

Delightful and delighted silliness.

Weapon by eruthros - Janelle Monae - Works

This vid starts out great and then just gets stronger and more complicated and more powerful as it builds.

All This and Heaven Too by silly_cleo - Sense and Sensibility (1995) - Elinor Dashwood & Marianne Dashwood

Oh gosh, the Dashwood sisters. I love them both so, SO much, and this vid does a wonderful job of highlighting how their relationship is the emotional heart of the story. Also, a fascinating example of the kind of story you can tell with careful clip choice. I won't say there aren't any men in this vid, but there are very few of them, and they are never there for long and they are never the focus of the shot.

Mighty Real metatxt - Kiki (2016)

I did not know this documentary existed and now I'm on a quest to find it, which is turning out to be surprisingly challenging in Canada! This tapped into a lot of my feelings about performative queerness and finding power through community.

Put a Lid On It by odessie - Rivers of London - Ben Aaronovitch

A great mix of repurposed footage and scenes from the Rivers of London comics. Really captures the feel of the books and the characters.

Speak Your Heart by Josette_Arnauld - Moonlight (2016) - Chiron/Kevin

This is such a visually stunning movie, and this vid really shows that off. It's full of long, lingering cuts and subtle emotional moments and longing, so much longing.

You're Aging Well by cosmic_llin - Grace and Frankie (TV) - Frankie Bergstein/Grace Hanson

This is just lovely, and the song choice is perfect.

Let's Get It Started by littleheaven70 - Fraggle Rock

Pure Fraggle joy.

No One Is Alone by dkwilliams - Big Eden (2000) - Pike Dexter/Henry Hart, Henry Hart/Dean Stewart, Henry Hart & Dean Stewart, Anna Rudolph/Dean Stewart

I love vids, and I love musicals, but I rarely love vids to musicals. This is definitely an exception. So, so good.

Much Ado About Nothing Festivids 2017 by jesterladyvids - Much Ado About Nothing (1993) - Beatrice/Benedick, Claudio/Hero

Shamelessly joyful mix of footage from the more-serious Branagh/Thompson movie to audio from the delightfully ridiculous Tennant/Tate stage version. The source footage used is weirdly washed-out in a way that might be deliberate and is definitely a bit distracting, but I didn't find that detracted too much from my enjoyment of the vid.

Not Gonna Take It by lilly_the_kid - Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) - Maid Marian/Robin Hood

This vid made me grin throughout. Such a ridiculously perfect marriage of song and video.

#i'mabigdeal by colls - A Knight's Tale (2001)

TEAAAAAAM. This vid reminded me of everything I love about this movie.

One Thing by blithesea - Cool Runnings (1993)

All of the feels. ALL OF THEM. I'm a sucker for a sports underdog story, and I always forget what a great one this is.

This Love by AurumCalendula - Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love (1995) - Evie Roy/Randy Dean

Lesbian teenagers in love! This vid just makes me happy.

So adorable! Filled my heart with joy.

Pirates of Penzance (1983) - Rock This Town by [personal profile] grammarwoman

Absolute perfection! Made me laugh out loud and grin with glee.

Pitch (2016) - The Greatest by [personal profile] amathela

Just wonderful. This fills me with all the baseball feels and ALL the women in sports feels.

Pump Up The Volume - Steal the Air by Rhea314
