seperis | like manna from heaven

In the event that someone finally notices that my current email threads at work aren't me being charmingly naive but painfully sarcastic (my boss visibly restrained herself from hitting her head on her desk when she caught up with it, but if she isn't complaining, I feel I'm still okay writing short, moving essays on why I think something is wrong so very wrong are you drunk right now wrong but not using those words), I have decided that my life's goal will be to watch and document every vid ever made to This Is War. I mean, why not. Some people collect stamps. Stamps do not have a lot of swordfighting and explosions. You see where I'm going with this.

This is, in effect, my bulletproof song. Let me show you.

This Is War - Harry Potter, All - this has some timing failures, but seriously, I want like ten of these for this fandom.

This Is War - Harry Potter, All - utterly gorgeous.

This IS War - Merlin, All - I'm guessing how little I specifically know of the canon post season two is what makes me take the entire thing as EPIC and AWESOME and WHY AM I NOT WATCHING THIS, and them I remember, not until Arthur knows the goddamn truth already.

I'm going to specifically warn here for some serious, serious fast cutting. I mean, I love fast cutting, but there was definitely a moment or several that dramamine would not have been amiss.

This Is War - Supernatural, All - a couple of unusual choices in cutting, but the more I watch it, the more I like it.

This Is War - Supernatural, All - I love this one like air.

That's why he goes bad, you know -- all the good people hit him on the head or try to shoot him and constantly mistrust him, while there's this vast cohort of minions saying, We wouldn't hurt you, Lex, and we'll give you power and greatness and oh so much sex...
Wow. That was scary. Lex is like Jesus in the desert.

Obi-Wan has a sort of desperate, pathetic patience in this movie. You can just see it in his eyes: "My padawan is a psychopath, and no one will believe me; I'm barely keeping him under control and expect to wake up any night now to find him standing over my bed with a knife!"

It's weird, after you get used to the affection you get from a rabbit, it's like any other BDSM relationship. Only without the sex and hot chicks in leather corsets wielding floggers. You'll grow to like it.

You have a great point there, this song lends itself so well to a lot of apocalypse ideas. I can think of a half dozen other fandoms that would do well in this kind of vid also. Sadly, I'm not getting a live link with your second HP link there, don't know why.

Fixed link!

I love this song, and yeah, it's perfect for so many fandoms. The song does most of the work for the epicness.

Did you see the TVD one?

No? Link?

Thank you for throwing yourself on this alter for us. Your sacrifice is appreciated. *falls down laughing*

I have a playlist of This Is War. It's beautiful.

/via network

Here is a Final Fantasy VII one, in which the HD movie clips are mysteriously incredibly shitty and the PSP game ones are actually decent, I don't even know. Compression problem, maybe? But I'm still very fond of it, yes.

Have you seen these seven Doctor Who ones? http://elisi.livejournal.com/735137.html
And I think I've seen at least three Avengers vid for that song. I might even remember the lyrics one day.

Nobody's rec'd the Avengers one? o.O If nobody's linked by the time I get home tonight I'll try to find'n'post it here.

I have several I recced earlier this year. Which reminds me I need to seek out more. Surely there are some by now.

6 Castle versions (And one Castle/NCIS version)

This is War by TVfreak56sback (who did the amazing Seven Nation Army that got recc'd by an Editor on Castle)

This is War by Jordan Shaw

This is War by parawhore83 (The text is really intrusive on this, but they make some interesting choices on clip selection)

This is War by yanissa g

This is War by federozza94

This is War by Sara7Kate (This is less than the first minute of the song, but it's well done.)

This is War by mystic4n6grl101 Castle & NCIS
