Dear Festividder Letter
(Still adding some more photos in as I love image-y posts, but wanted to get this up)
Hello! I have never done this fest before so I’m a bit out of my league! I will throw out some prompt ideas and info about my likes but pretty much if I chose these things I’ll like what you come up with!
First off I like all different kinds of music and I’m a mix enthusiast. My Spotify is here. My masterlist of fandom mixes is here (and if links to my general mixes here. Haven’t updated either in a bit tho)
1. Our Flag Means Death RPF
I’ll admit when I saw this my mind first went to Taika/Rhys as I’m very into them, but if that isn’t totally your bag I would also be down for a video of Vico and Con or Con and Nathan.
For Taika and Rhys specifically: I fell really hard for these two without even expecting to. Their chemistry, friendship, history, shared life experiences, and how much they love each other is all A Lot. I’ve got an entire masterlist of AV content for you to peruse if you want or need some quick finds; it really kills me the way they’ve talked about one other in both print and AV interviews - the way they constantly mention talking on the world together / us against the world / being kindred spirits, wanting to work together forever, how it’s always the most exciting when it’s just them on screen together doing their “magic” it’s just all SO MUCH.
I have a mix that I made here, if that sparks any inspiration. My main songs for them are 2 Fast Cars and Handle Me with Care (Taika pov).
2. Angels in America NTL Production
Prior has always been my favorite and Andrew Garfield is one of my favorite actors so that combo is basically my favorite thing in life and my favorite piece of acting by someone ever, full stop. So yeah I’d love something Prior focused and I’m very very partial to this Prior and Belize’s relationship. I feel like Andrew and Nathan truly elevated that to the point that they seem to be together together in that finale scene.
I’ve got an entire masterlist of content here. That being said the Prior and Louis relationship is of course essential and while I’m not interested in a solo Louis vid I’m totally fine with a Prior/Louis one as long as it isn’t presented as end game romance. And I love every single actor and performance in this play so you could always go a more ensemble angle. I’ve made tons of mixes as the link above will show and so for music I’d love if it was kept to the time period of 80s or early 90s (for the last scene).
3. Christine
I love this movie so much and yeah I ship Arnie and Dennis (they just scream high school homoeroticism sexual tension) but I’m fine with anything and everything here, it’s all just vibes and aesthetics really. I’m sooo into the synthwave nature of the score and big into retrowave/vaporwave - ive got a lot of mixes like that on my Spotify. Here’s an example of the type of retrowave stuff I love. But I also love oldies and the 50s tracks in the movie. Honestly you can’t really go wrong here, any vid in this fandom would make me so happy.
4. Maurice
Ohhhh one of my favorite books, one of my favorite movies. Gorgeous and lush and sensual. I honestly don’t have much to prompt here. Again I feel like vibes and aesthetics make this. I love Alec and Maurice as end game obviously but I also adore the all those early scenes with Maurice and Clive; some of the most erotic and tension filled to be captured on screen, truly remarkable. You could go with classical or modern classical for music choices or you could go full popular music, I really don’t mind. I think anything could work here.
5. Once a Thief
God I loved this show and the movies. So much fun. Obviously I shipped Mac and Vic but everyone was great in this. If we matched here just have fun with it, maybe some up beat pop song set to their shenanigans. Maybe something deeper and more serious, for when the show touched on that stuff. I’d love anything!
6. Mysterious Skin
Again it’s all about the aesthetics - this is just a beautiful shot film from start to finish. I’d love stuff with Neil and Bryan. I’ve had this want for like 10 years of a vid set to Skeletons by The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Obviously you aren’t locked into that but yeah- something about that song + this movie just fits so well to me.
7. Nigel McGuinness
I love Nigel; I’d originally envisioned this with him and Bryan Danielson but he wasn’t eligible. That being said if you use footage from their matches, I won’t be disappointed. I love stuff with Nigel in ROH as I don’t know him in TNA as Desmond Wolfe. I love that he used to come out to Oasis so yeah music wise Britpop/alt would be awesome: Oasis, Pulp, Blur, Suede, Elastica, Garbage etc. I’ve got a lot of Nigel related stuff here (tied to Bryan, mostly)
8. Zack Sabre Jr.
Ahhh Zack. He’s so damn fun. Again I’d envisioned this with a possible Bryan Danielson crossover, so def would not be opposed to footage of their matches. I’ve got some Zack stuff here (related to Bryan). I LOVE that he loves George Michael so much and I did my own mini version of that in a vid comp of him and Bryan but yeah obviously anything George Michael/Wham would be so cool for song choices. But honestly anything!
9. Sports Night
Ahhhh Casey and Danny. Yeah I’ve got a lot of mixes them that I’ve made (see link at the start of post), so many songs scream “them” to me. And I love the whole show so if you wanted to focus more on an ensemble that’s cool too. But ultimately would love Casey and Danny and friends to lovers vibes. They were formative.
