(no subject)

Family stuff, so my second Tuesday home, and you'd think I wouldn't be as bored as I am. Yet strangely, I am.

I have this entire folder of SV vids--every time one was recced on my friendslist over the last year, I downloaded, thinking, you know, when I feel like watching the episodes again and the really unhealthy fascination with Red!Clark faded, I'll see what's up there.

And then I put it off all summer, thinking, you know, I shall wait so I don't get *spoiled*, which, laugh if you will, *you* try prying information out of [livejournal.com profile] svmadelyn "see it yourself". *grinds teeth* I'm setting my damn dvr, happy? It's a month until the new season, I can get the last three or four eps of last season, which will bring me up to a grand total of eight watched for the season. That's almost depressing.

But. I'm slowly and thoroughly losing my mind trying to download Luminosity's two vids, because my internet connection hates me more than I hate it and dial-up is evil. And [livejournal.com profile] f1renze and [livejournal.com profile] kitkatbye spoiled me badly with all that beautful DivX (damm you both, I'm obsessively watching that CD. My God, the *pretty*. And the screen size. Oh yes. I am *blissed*). So, to guard against encroaching insanity, I opened up [livejournal.com profile] sisabet's vid and shalott's Drop Dead Gorgeous and.

Well. Oh dear God, those are *good*.

Here are things I didn't know.



I lost my nerve watching the *spoilers* for Lex's little trip to Belle Reve. I had someone *narrate* the episode to me online, because there are a few basic things I can deal with. I can maim Lex myself, and I can drive him crazy, and trust me, I enjoy it heartily, but I cannot *cannot* watch it happen on my television in front of me.

There is a difference between textual narration and watching Lex electrocuted from several angles set to Placebo, 'kay? Who knew? *sighs*

So. Those two eps scare me. Or is it three? Please don't tell me it's three.

I've heard Lana dies several times, though. That sounds promising. I mean, she's still *alive* and all, but still.

*sighs* I'm going go rework my nerve. If I can watch Lex be shot, I can watch him being drugged into insanity. I *can*.



Anyway, just from sheer curiosity, anyone have vid recs?

*edited to correct lj name and to add: Lex with a gun? Still #1 Kink of all time. I'm so glad the show indulges this.

[livejournal.com profile] merryish has a wonderful SV vid (that is fun and not painful! hee!) if you look back in her lj a few entries I'm sure you'll find the link...I believe it is called "I wanna take you home" but it is a quicktime file, so hopefully you can play that...

and I can't stop watching Drop Dead Gorgeous. It has killed me dead with happiness. (sisabet's vid has also but I've been watching that for months and months.)

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2004-08-31 11:22 am (UTC)
Ooh damn, I saw sisabet's post about that and *completely* forgot to try for Merry's.

Happyvid. *g* I likes.

and I can't stop watching Drop Dead Gorgeous. It has killed me dead with happiness. (sisabet's vid has also but I've been watching that for months and months.)

Oh my God, does it. It is so--hee. I watch it over and over, mouthing the words along. It is so freaking *good*.

I agree whole-heartedly and I vehemently *hate* handguns.

What? I never said it was logical. *grins*

Me too. Except Lex. He should be armed more often.

*quiet drooling*

From: [identity profile] obsidian-rai.livejournal.com Date: 2004-08-31 03:57 pm (UTC)
*giggles* Yes, yes he should be.

[livejournal.com profile] permetaform has a Lex vid, a lot of which covers his trip to Belle Reve and the events that led him there. It's not currently available online because she needed room on her server. You can ask her to send it to you by other means, though.

Or did you just want vid reccs in general? There are a number of QaF reccs I could give you.

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2004-08-31 11:26 am (UTC)
Have there been any QaF vid recs recently? I downloaded--hmm, Can't Help Falling in the last week or so, but other than [livejournal.com profile] kitkatbyte and [livejournal.com profile] f1renze, I don't think I've seen any others.

*curious* Are there more?

From: [identity profile] lierdumoa.livejournal.com Date: 2004-08-31 11:58 am (UTC)
o.0

You've only seen Flo and Wendy's? This fandom has a *lot* of vidders.

Okay, first off, self-pimp. I vid. I've been vidding for a little over half a year, and I'm not half bad if I do say so myself. My style is really different from Flo and Wendy's. See here (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=lierdumoa&keyword=Vids&filter=all). They're in the order in which they were made.

Just today [livejournal.com profile] sweetestdrain posted an Emmett vid that I really enjoyed. See here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/sweetestdrain/62524.html).

[livejournal.com profile] bea_anonymous posted a fantastic season 4 Justin vid here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/bea_nonymous/52449.html). I'm assuming it's still downloadable. Might want to double check that.

Gah! So many!

Okay, [livejournal.com profile] erinface and [livejournal.com profile] annaface have a number of great humor vids, including what I'd consider the *definitive* Gale/Randy RPS vid. Unfortunately, I just checked, and their website seems to be having bandwidth problems. Waaaaah. The website is linked through [livejournal.com profile] annaface's userinfo.

[livejournal.com profile] eleveninches has some really funny QaF vids. See here (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=eleveninches&keyword=My+Queer+As+Folk+Vids&filter=all). I especially recommend Michael. There may be some broken links, so perhaps you could ask her nicely to fix the links/send the vids to you by other means. I know she had to get another server after debaju died, and she hasn't moved all of her vids onto the new server.

That's all I can think of offhand.

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2004-08-31 12:21 pm (UTC)
I have sisabet's, a few others that were randomly recced pre January, and a few others, but not that many. THough I do have some of Anna's, definitely--I have entire Justin-rage issues dealing with My World that one day I'm sure I'll have a competent therapist address. *g*

But did *not* know you or [livejournal.com profile] bea_anonymous vidded. Ooh. *bounces* Thanks!

From: [identity profile] rivkat.livejournal.com Date: 2004-08-31 09:51 am (UTC)
It's just the two eps, sweetie. I watched them, especially the second, in horrible horrible pain, 'cause like you I can dish it out to Lex but I can't take it being done to him. Lex with a gun = extremely hot, yes. Here's a set of old vid recs (http://www.livejournal.com/users/rivkat/27475.html); on the principle of, "if you can't find an idiot to do your bidding, start with the idiot you know best," I've actually now made both of the vids I dreamed about in that entry. If you want to look at them, they're at my site (http://www.rivkat.com), but I'm just a beginner and I have an unfortunate Placebo fetish which invites negative comparisons to [livejournal.com profile] sisabet.

From: [identity profile] sisabet.livejournal.com Date: 2004-08-31 10:10 am (UTC)
That makes me laugh cause for this past week I've been negatively compared to you by my younger sister. Also prodded to vid more SV cause she is evil and never satisfied.

Man - it was the onscreen Lex!Torture that finally seduced me into the fandom (well the actual show fandom, fic is a different animal) but I tend to go for that. That and Lex with a gun. Lex!Torture and then Lex!PrimalRage and Lex!Armed - in that order please.

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2004-08-31 11:33 am (UTC)
Before this goes into the wilds of my uncertain memory--OMG, that *vid*.

I swear I watched it when you first released, because [livejournal.com profile] sisabet = vidcrack happiness. But *man*. I was all twitching along with Lex and whimpering and watching Lex snap at Lionel's fingers and oh *God* does he need soup and cookies.

It's an incredible vid. And also very hard to play less than three times in a row. Very, very hard.

Lex!Torture and then Lex!PrimalRage and Lex!Armed - in that order please.

*curls up with contented sigh*

Pretty.

From: [identity profile] sisabet.livejournal.com Date: 2004-08-31 12:06 pm (UTC)
Well it is ALL YOUR FAULT. You made Clark all adorable and sweet and cute and and and - and then the show tortured Lex for 45 minutes straight and how in the world am I supposed to deal with that? I have no defenses for that - not since there was ChickenWire!Mulder.

Of course none of this would have happened if I had had the power to make "How It's Gonna Be" update by staring at it. So I'm glad you liked the vid.

From: [identity profile] rivkat.livejournal.com Date: 2004-08-31 01:56 pm (UTC)
Well, I'll happily join the prodding.

Prod. Prod.

And tell your sister she's sweet to mention me, especially if it encourages you to stay with the loveliness of Lex.

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2004-08-31 11:30 am (UTC)
Okay, thsi is so sad--I *theoretically* knew you vidded, but I did not *think* of that for some reason.

Placebo rocks. A friend from X-Men inundated me with that and VAST, which, I think, permanently warped me for all time.

Ooh! And *several vids*. It's like a candy store. That I will be downloading for the next two days. I am so getting a cellphone soon, just for downloading.

It's just the two eps, sweetie. I watched them, especially the second, in horrible horrible pain, 'cause like you I can dish it out to Lex but I can't take it being done to him. Lex with a gun = extremely hot, yes.

Just watching him in vid form makes me twitch to take him home and promies he can conquer all the world he feels like conquering.

Lex needs to be armed more often. I could very possibly watch an entire episode composed of Lex going around holding a gun. That would be--well, bliss.

From: [identity profile] sisabet.livejournal.com Date: 2004-08-31 12:09 pm (UTC)

So you haven't actually seen "Shattered" then?

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2004-08-31 12:25 pm (UTC)
No, I stopped either with Extinction or the one right after that. *goes to check memories* Okay, that's the last one I actually discussed, so one or two after that.

You're telling me there is an entire episode devoted to my personal inaminte OTP, Lex/gun, and....I never *saw* it?

*distressed*

From: [identity profile] sisabet.livejournal.com Date: 2004-08-31 12:37 pm (UTC)
Well - Lex out of his mind, armed and in great psychological distress. But there is also the moment that made me want to vid "Without You I'm Nothing" - it was the first clip I laid cause it just says so much - that moment of revelation and realization and wonderment. I'd say more but you should watch Shattered.

From: [identity profile] rivkat.livejournal.com Date: 2004-08-31 02:00 pm (UTC)
Must. Watch. Shattered.

And then schedule some "alone time" for yourself. I know I need to.

Someone had a great icon of Lex with the gun he used to kill Nixon, the caption being, "No, I do NOT want to change my long-distance provider!" One compensation of Lex going evil is that we may be able to watch him threaten to hurt people more often.

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2004-08-31 02:57 pm (UTC)
It's going to *hurt*. The *narration* hurt.

But yes. It can only be to the good when Lex goes bad. *Lots* of opportunity for threatning. *happy*

I saw Placebo last October. They added a Portland date to their tour after the original date listing was published. I'm lucky I checked back.

Ended up going by myself, which was just fine. It was at the Crystal Ballroom (vintage ballroom purchased & refinished by brewpub meisters, the McMenamin Bros.

They ROCKED! but did not play one of my favorites, _Something Rotten_.

From: [identity profile] lierdumoa.livejournal.com Date: 2004-08-31 09:04 pm (UTC)
Oooooh! Running Up That Hill is one of my favorite vids! I downloaded it and then forgot who made it. Now I can finally give you feedback for it! Lovely, really. I also quite like Commercial for Lex. Haven't watched the others.

Sisabet's and Lum's vids are just beyond gorgeous, but seeing "Shattered" and "Asylum" just breaks my heart.

Lex with a gun is damn sexy.

Don't *say* that. I skimmed post-ep reaction, feeling twitchy that it *existed*. *twitch* My poor Lex. Oh my poor Lex. And I'm going to have to get through it. Somehow. Perhaps with liquor, to show that I invest far, far too much in Lex in fandom.

Lex with a gun is damn sexy.

Yes. Oh *God* yes.

I linked you to that SIX THOUSAND TIMES. You were downloading but it quit or something and you PROMISED you would watch it after I kept going on and on and on and on about it. Lex, JUMPING OUT THE WINDOW.

*throws hands up in the air*

Also, I am uploading caps to my site for Shattered. I--really liked the gun scene too, so I had a very pretty handful.
