cool stuff to look at

Four fandoms, four nifty things: there's gotta be something here for everyone who reads this journal, right?

HP: When I'm Sixty-Four by hill_ | Snape/Harry, NC17, art. I guess this is the art equivalent of songfic...no, don't go away! This comic-strip illustration of the Beatles song gave me a well-needed giggle this morning.

dS: Like a House on ( Read more... )

recs:vids, recs:hp, art, recs:sga, recs, recs:due south, master and commander, interesting pointers

Love the "Muppets in Atlantis" vid. Thanks for the link!

You're welcome!

Yes! When I'm Sixty-Four had me in tears! :DD

And I can't wait to take a peek at Nicci's screencap story. Thanks!

Haha, cranky old men grow up to be cranky older men!

Hill's cartoon cracked me up. I think my favorite part was Hedwig in the little red wagon licking an ice cream cone :)

Hedwig's false teeth FTW!

And bald!Harry and Snape having eyebrows like Leonid Brezhnev....

Oh, LOL! I liked them all but the SGA/Muppets one was great! :D You have to understand, I'm very much not into fanvids. I'm just not. I've watched a few and they tend to be yawners, mostly because I'm not a musical person and have never heard or even heard of most of the songs used. But this one was a crack-up, wonderfully edited, with everything fitting just perfectly. And that alien-whatsis that "did" Kermit's voice toward the end? Perfect. [giggling facepalm] I don't know why that was so funny but it was. Thanks for the links!

Haha, the alien-whatsis is Hermiod, who (that?) I mentioned in the rec! See?

I know what you mean about vids. I don't know a lot of contemporary music (although if I do know and like the song it's more likely that I'll enjoy the vid), and unless there's a clear narrative I get bored quickly. Maybe that's why I have a bit of a weakness for theme-song type vids, where one source is set to the theme from another. I can think offhand of several in SGA: James Bond, Oklahoma, Xanadu, West Side Story. It's a sort of shorthand that most of us understand, that by using a song that has certain cultural implications, they carry over into the vid (like what I did in the vidlet I made to the Good, Bad, and Ugly theme song).

Oooh, interesting collection of recs, thanks!

Got your email, will be responding tonight hopefully.

Yay, good, thanks - I really do appreciate your help. I feel like an ff.net writer who kant spel or grammarify. Metaphorically speaking.
