recs and vids (and occasionally other fandom stuff) are not locked around here, but i flock more & more things... mostly if it's personal, or if i express strong opinions & such. feel free to friend me - but if i have no idea who you are, i'll probably not friend back automatically! so you can say 'hi' here & introduce yourself. (comments are all screened)


or just, you know, say whatever doesn't fit anywhere else, ♥
• my vids | complete vidlist
• my fic | & some more here [most of this is hideously old stuff]
• my picspams
• vid recs | fic recs | earlier recs (ordered by fandom)

here, have some avengers fic recs.
mostly focusing on steve/tony, because that's what i like. also fluff and crackiness.



in which tony stark builds himself some friends (but his family was assigned by nick fury) by scifigrl47
tony and steve and teamyness and tony building an awesome toaster and this is so much fun and cuteness it makes me all flaily. no slash, well. it's a bit pre-slashy. but the first story is almost purely friendship and tony being tony.

ladder 69, or zen and the art of frefighting by comeswithaprice
in which steve is a firefighter and tony sets things on fire. accidently. so good! and there's a second part to come (i guess that means this is a wip - but i'm not looking at it like that. i can't. to me it just means there's a sequel still coming one day)

head/heart/lungs by triedunture
just beautiful. bruce/tony/steve, set after the movie.

team building activities by valtyr
fury's a beautiful princess. clint's plotting a communist revolution. rhodey's not sexy. wall-e's not a documentary. clint's not gay but he does give a great blowjob. this fic is not an au .....i love it. tony tries to give steve everything.

run program: dum-e by amuly
taking care of tony is a lot of work. especially when you’ve only got one arm. and your code dates back to the 1980 .... ahahaha, this is amazing. dummy's pov.


<3

some more recs.
(yes, it appears this is just a recc-ing journal now. ugh whatever ... maybe i'll have something else to post one day)


the avengers (multi) | my body is a cage by nel_ani
more like a multi-movie vid - x-men, iron man, hulk & captain america. and it's absoultely, amazingly stunning. the song (sfghj i love it even after i've heard it a million times) and the editing and just- all the feelings and everything. *draws hearts*

also. i'm watching common law, but i'm not exactly sure yet how i feel about it. i think i like it .... hmm. anyone else watching that?

urhm, hi eljay. *waves shyly* it's been a while.

and also. oh god, i'm so sorry for not writing back yet gummygums *hides* i'm the worst at replying. but i will! i promise <3

i just want to curl up under my blanket with this fic & cuddle it to pieces:
x-men | the better men by turtletotem
the one where erik and charles are teachers at hogwarts. and shaw is the headmaster, with an evil masterplan. featuring scorpius malfoy and dolly dursley. *pets fic*


a couple more.

grimm | the prince of portland by smilla840
renard thinks that the blutbad should take better care of his grimm. nick/renard. ugh, i'm in love with this pairing. and this fic is just so awesome.

criminal minds | 42° of refraction by writing2death
Reid wonders when his life got to be so awkward. Then he remembers: always. So, he wonders instead when his relationship with Hotch got to be so awkward. He thinks it might be around the time they accidently slept together.

and i'm not sure if i recced these before *scratches head* anyway.

the avengers | look here, lookback, look ahead by marinarusalka
iron man noir *draws hearts* steve/tony of course.
September, 1941: Returning from a mission as Iron Man, Tony Stark crash-lands in the Carpathian Mountains and is rescued by Captain America. The two heroes team up to investigate Nazi activity at a mysterious castle. But Captain America is keeping secrets that could destroy their new partnership before it has a chance to begin.

the avengers | ready, fire, aim by gyzym
*FLAILS* i know i'm saying this a lot, but. THIS FIC OMG GO READ IT NOW. has sequels and semi-sequels and things. and is steve/tony. and completely wonderful.

the avengers | when the lights go on again by elspethdixon & seanchai
an alien invasion fic. the most epic thing i've read in a long long time. focusing on so many wonderful characters & relationships and plot and romance and awesome.


and have i already i mentioned that this x-men au series called 'the daycare verse' is THE VERY BEST THING TO EVER EXIST EVER? because it is. i can't even describe the ways in which i love that verse. i'm serious, if you like fanfic and awesome and charles/erik and haven't read this yet i pity you. your life will be much improved once you've read this!



+ i'm possibly the slowest vidder in all the interwebs. god, how do people have the energy to vid after working? the only thing i want to do is drink a cold beer & read something nice :/

i'm feeling very un-inspired lately, especially if it comes to the vidding thing. i do have a few ideas of vids that i want to do, but i just can't get into the right mood ..... so i thought i'd ask you lovely people for help ;)

1 | give me an episode of something you know (or think you know) i've watched. if possible something that i can easily download from somewhere.
2 | give me a song (or many songs) that you like. or if you want to - something that you think fits the episode or that you somehow associate with it. or just any song at all.
3 | i will make you a vid-thing. maybe. hopefully.
+ you can give me as many episodes/songs as you like. actually, the more the better!

so, erh. please?

augh, i actually wanted to make a festivids-rec-post before the reveals went up, oh well, still. i haven't watched all the vids yet (there are so so so many, omg), but my favorites (out of all the brilliant vids i've seen so far) are -


a-team | 20th century boy(s) (AKA THE VERY BEST VID EVER)
cabaret | hot in here
doctor who (classic series) | awake my soul (SARAH JANE *cries*)
fresh prince of bel-air | baby i'm a star
how to train your dragon | i'm still here
the king's speech | fixing a hole
life | children's work
miracles | saint with a fever
miranda | walking on sunshine (WHEN IS THIS SHOW COMING BACK?! OMG I MISS IT SO)
mulan | ain't not other man
new girl | blue skies (YESSSSS)
singin' in the rain | tom cruise crazy



BUT GO WATCH THEM ALL. here's the masterlist, if by some weird accident you've managed to not see this so far.

HOLY CRAP FESTIVIDS IS ALREADY LIVE.

i can't believe i forgot about festivids. i mean what.

but yeah, whatever. I GOT TWO BRILLIANT VIDS *FLAILS* GO CHECK THEM OUT!
the a-team | 20th century boys. AAAAH, there is no way to explain how much i love this! teamy-ness, action, fun, FAAACE <3 and cigars and everything. so so so good!
cry baby | i can't break away. omg, this is so happy-making (I LOVE THIS MOVIE OMG), all the dancing and sliding and singing and *flails* oh my heart :`)

have i mentioned they're brilliant & that you need to check them out?!

to do list:

- finally finish that festivid, GODDAMNIT. i just need a free day to do it, ugh. i thought i would have saturday at least, but as it turns out i have to work all day & my dad absolutely needs to go out for dinner that night. how am i ever gonna finish that stupid vid *anxious*

and because there's nothing i do better than procrastinate, have my end of the year vidding meme. a bit late.

january.
• miracles (festivid vid) - nowhere near [this is a vid i've always wanted to make, so i'm glad i got prompted with this fandom]
february.
• where the wild things are (movie) - creature fear
march.
• push (movie, auction vid) - between two lungs [possibly the hardest vid to make. ever. i'm still soso happy i managed to finish this, because there was a long while where i didn't think i ever would]
• doctor who (season 5, amy pond) - for the moon [i'm actually really proud of this one. my favorite one of the year for sure]
(long long time with no computer where i could edit anything - that was hard, ugh)
october.
• jane eyre (movie) - can't shake loose


.....and that's it already. i haven't done a lot of vidding in 2011 *sigh* oh well, at least i've done some.

*slides out from under a rock* omg, it's been forever lj.
i hope everyone is doing okay *sends hugs and love* and A HAPPY NEW YEAR \o/




oh, also. i finally started watching 'downton abbey' and eep how is it so good?! and why hasn't anyone made me watch this show before??! and where are the vids???!!!!! omg mary.

*runs off to buy the last of the salmon and champagne*

(icon is not related to this post in any way. but it makes me happy so- *shrugs*)


- i think most people know this already, but there is a vid forum now. AWESOME \o/
really reminds me of my first baby vidding/internet steps in the kawoosh/stargate forum. awww.

- this is an EPIC fanfic, omg: the five kingdoms by misswinterhill
it's a merlin/gwaine story, in which merlin is on a quest to find some things for arthur & gwaine is merlin's willing champion. there is friendship and adventure and transforming into animals and elves and the green knight and OMG THIS IS SO GOOD I CAN'T- *FLAILS*

- so kuwdora made an absolutely wonderful tony stark vid: walk this way
but more importantly she made a STEVE/TONY VID. i summon you. so okay, there's not really a lot (or any) source for the two of them yet, but it combines the iron man movies & captain america in such an absolutely gorgeous way ... GO WATCH. look at my gorgeous new otp :`)

my dearest festivdder.


first let me say that i love you lots & will adore any vid you make for me! if you already have an idea for your fandom - go with that & feel free to ignore this post completely. i'd rather have something that you had fun doing than anything else.
i also haven't written down any song suggestions, because i know every vidder has different preferences & i don't want any of my ideas to get in the way of your creativity ... but i DO want to say that the music choices are kind of important to me & often the thing that draws me in and makes a vid great to me. um, yeah. whatever. i'm not sure what i actually want to say with this *shrugs*


um, anyway.
my requests:

( ... )

signed,
(*draws pink sparkly hearts everywhere*)
