409: A Miscellany [Vids]
reccer's note. A collection of my favorite videos - some not so well-known, some that are. Mostly Supernatural but I snuck in some J2 when no one was looking.
title. Women's Work
vidder. luminosity and sisabet
characters. Alice Miller, Andrea Barr, Ava Wilson, Carmen Porter, Cassie Robinson, Clare Becker, Constance Welch, Crossroad Demon, Diana Ballard, Evelyn, Jessica Moore, Jo Harvelle, Lenore, Madison, Mary Winchester, Mary Worthington, Meg Masters, Meredith, Rebecca Warren, Sarah Blake, Sary, Tessa and various unnamed female characters
rating. PG-13 (reccer's rating)
length. 3:14
summary. Our bodies, ourselves.
watch this. A visceral punch to the gut that is as relevant today as it was when first debuted at Vividcon. I just... It's been years since I first saw this and I still have no words that can encompass what this video means and how important it is.
title. The Ballad of Jared and Jensen
vidder. tnt_dynamite
characters. Jared/Jensen
rating. PG (reccer's rating)
length. 2:33
summary. Don't try to deny their epic romance. (reccer's summary)
watch this. A video set to seedyapartment's song of the same name - and it's just as adorable and addictive as the song. Seriously. My husband sings the chorus whenever I watch this. *we don't talk about the time he started singing it in the car* So, yes, watch this. Right now. It's all kinds of awesome.
title. Addicted to Stress
vidder. brynensomhet
characters. Dean
rating. PG (reccer's rating)
length. 3:30
summary. Dean is addicted to stress.
watch this. This video features a song by the best band you've probably never heard: Jim's Big Ego. Yes, I confess that I am a shameless JBE fangirl but the song is witty as all hell - and the clips used in conjunction with the lyrics are timed so damn well that I grin like a maniac every time I watch it.
title. Welcome to the Black Parade, Dean Winchester
vidder. pinkfinity
characters. Dean
rating. PG-13
length. 5:24
summary. "Son when you grow up, will you be the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned?"
watch this. When I first heard "Welcome to the Black Parade," my first coherent thought was "Gods, this is about Dean Winchester." And then I found this video, which is a perfect character study of the Dean Winchester I fell in love with back in Season One. Completely and utterly perfect.
title. Who Are You?
vidder. ash48
characters. Agent Angus, Detective Bachman, Frank Beard, Billy Gibbons, Ted Nugent, Nigel Tufnel, Detective Turner, Agent Young, Dean Van Halen... Well, you get the idea.
rating. PG (reccer's rating)
length. 4:30
summary. A catalogue of aliases, pseudonyms, costumes etc.
watch this. This was a trip down memory lane for me, back in the days when it was all about saving people and hunting things. It's also another hilarious example of how ash48 brings on the funny.
title. Channel Hopping
vidder. ash48
characters. Dean, Sam
rating. PG (reccer's rating)
length. 4:30
summary. The Boys watch TV.
watch this. I snorted milk. Enough said.
title. Running Up That Hill
vidder. meimei42
characters. Dean, Sam
rating. PG-13 (reccer's rating)
length. 5:00
summary. The sacrifices Dean has made and the sacrifices Sam wishes he could. (reccer's summary based on vidder notes)
watch this. Heartbreaking. Absolutely heartbreaking.
title. Wild Boys
vidder. ash48
characters. Dean, Sam
rating. PG (reccer's rating)
length. 3:46
summary. Recap of Season 3
watch this. And then ash48 brings on the angst. So very, very well. Admittedly, I have loved Duran Duran since I was fifteen years old, so I'm somewhat biased about the song - but it suits the theme. So very, very well.
title. Still Alive
vidder. counteragent
characters. Amanda Burns, Ava Wilson, Bela Talbot, Cassie Robinson, Crossroad Demon, Elizabeth, Jessica Moore, Jo Harvelle, Lillith, Lisa Braeden, Mary Winchester, Mary Worthington, Maggie Thompson, Meg Masters, Meredith, Renee Van Allen, Ruby, Rose Thompson, Sarah Blake, Tammi, Victor Henrickson, various unnamed female characters and Supernatural fandom.
rating. PG-13 (reccer's rating)
length. 3:08
summary. A survey of (mostly S3) SPN fandom: Some wank, some politics, and a ton of awe-inspiring GENIUS.
watch this. An unflinching look at Supernatural fandom in a video which is just as full of genius as the source material counteragent references. All facets of fandom are represented - every genre, our love of meta, our fights, our reconciliations, and our love of the same show.
title. Stuck in the Middle With You
vidder. deirdre_c
characters. Dean, Sam
rating. PG-13 (reccer's rating)
length. 2:08
summary. The Winchester Brothers love each other like pie.
watch this. And so does elanurel. It's impossible not to grin like a maniac while watching this. Trust me, okay?
title. Happy Alone
vidder. danegen
characters. Jared/Jensen
rating. PG (reccer's rating)
length. 3:27
summary. They know we're watching (and Jensen fangirls Jared like whoa).

rating. PG-13 (reccer's rating)
length. 3:01

title. A Little Less Conversation
vidder. ash48
characters. Dean/Anna, Dean/Carmen, Dean/Cassie, Sam/Madison, Sam/Ruby
rating. PG-13 (reccer's rating)
length. 1:24
summary. A little less fight and a little more spark. (reccer's summary)
watch this. It's no secret that I have an inner het girl. And all my inner het girl can say is: *fans self*
title. Lunatic Fringe
vidder. boom_queen
characters. Dean, Sam
rating. PG-13 (reccer's rating)
length. 3:07
summary. A 'demon-hunting, ass-kicking' Winchester video.
watch this. Did you read the summary? Enough said. The song choice? Wonderful. The editing? Spot on. Demon-hunting, ass-kicking Winchesters? Check.
title. To Have and To Hold
vidder. coastal5
characters. Mary, John
rating. PG (reccer's rating)
length. 2:26
summary. The epic love story of John and Mary. (reccer's summary)
watch this. This is a heartbreaking exploration of the relationship that is always beneath the surface, showing us how the Winchesters became who they are.
title. Hey You
vidder. deirdre_c
characters. Dean, Sam
rating. PG (reccer's rating)
length. 3:19
summary. Together we stand; divided we fall.
watch this. A coda to "When the Levee Breaks" that makes me ache every time I watch it. The song choice is perfect and, as always, deirdre_c's timing is impeccable.
title. Brick House
vidder. deirdre_c
characters. The Impala (and some other people)
rating. PG (reccer's rating)
length. 2:25
summary. She's mighty mighty, just lettin' it all hang out.
watch this. Because she'll always be mighty mighty.
I wanted to add that it has been an absolute blast being part of Recapalooza. And I hope that your new year is an absolute blast, too.
