ACK ACK/HILLBILLY FILE STATUS: OPENED. AND IN THE WORKS.

DDGJGHKL LOVE THE VID AS WELL BUT OH THE END, IT DID KIND OF BREAK MY HEART T.T AGREE WITH AUGUSTBIRD HERE IT DOES SEEM TO POINT OUT AN ACTUAL PORTRAYAL RATHER THAN JUST "OMFG THEY ARE SO PRETTY TOGETHER, LOOKIES!!".... NO WAIT THEY ARE SO NVM THAT.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS The more people we can convert the better !!

With so few instances of them being together on the show it was hard to put it together coherently, so I'm glad you enjoyed it bb ♥ :))

[teaspoonery]

I'm so easy to convert T.T booh. BUT OMG. HILLBILLY AND A GUITAR, THE IMAGE, THE IMAGE.

You did a marvellous job of it! And for some reason the .gif, what Haldane does to his gun - it makes me think he's mimicking playing a guitar lol. (Then again, I don't wear a necklace with a cross but with a guitar, so yeah...)

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? :))

HOW IS IT YOU CAN TAKE A MINUTE, AND HAVE THAT MINUTE MEAN SO MUCH.

ILU NAT.

That was beautiful and moving and all in such a tiny timeframe. And the music was just perfect.

Also, omg, mandolin.

Basically it's 7:30am for them and ILU you and them right now.
