Wibble.
That was lovely. A lot of the time I don't really get fanvids - as augustbird said, many of them are just sort of 'greatest hits' reels - but I liked the narrative, and especially the way you used the archive footage to bring it together, and give them a sort of happy ending. DAMMIT HISTORY, I AM ALL VERKLEMPT NOW. FOR LIKE THE FIFTEENTH TIME SINCE FRIDAY.

So, uh, yeah. You win.

Thank you bb ♥

And we are definitely all gluttons for punishment. I swear, we're all getting our hearts broken on a daily basis but we STILL COME BACK FOR MORE.

This is so true, every time I see a new post about them I get all happy, then by the time I've finished it I'm trying not to blub - one day last week I had to answer the door to the postman looking decidedly puffy eyed.

I don't usually bother with fanvids either, for the same reason mentioned above, but this I did enjoy. Especially the ending.

ALSO, DO YOU MIND IF I ADD YOU? :))

NOT AT ALL.

I was kinda thinking of friending you, seeing as I have loved all of your recent posts (and also was it you who made that minstrel!Hillbilly gif? Because I am cracking up just thinking about it)... but I always get all procrastinaty and nervous, so thank you for saving me the worry about having to ask first.
