chibirhmIf you have ever had an IM conversation with me, you know that during the course of that conversation there is a 90% chance I will, out of nowhere, burst out with "YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD MAKE A GREAT FANVID?" and then rattle off some idea or five. Which would be great, if I was capable of making videos. Well, technically, I do have Windows Movie Maker, but even trying to cut together a few clips of my dog on that makes my soul weep. HOW DO PEOPLE DEAL WITH THAT PROGRAM? IT TAKES LIKE FIVE BILLION YEARS AND YOU GET SO MANY RANDOM CLIPS AND AKLSFJALKSJFLKASJ.
Anyway, after complaining to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thisissirius for, like, a month, I decided you know what, I have a text document filled with ideas, it's the holidays, it's a week and a half to my birthday, surely something, somewhere on this list will inspire someone to make something. The ideas are free! All I ask is that, if any of these are to be made, please link me so I may worship the maker appropriately. Also, I'm gonna be updating this post constantly as new ideas come to me. CHECK BACK ON IT. I MAY HAVE HAD A STROKE OF GENIUS.
Hawaii 5-0
Smile - Uncle Kracker (Steve/Danny)
ASK ME IF I CARE HOW CHEESY THIS SONG IS. The answer is not one tiny iota. It's so sunny and happy and omg, just imagine how cute this song would be with the visuals of all of Steve's little head-ducking grins and Danny gesticulating and their heart-eyes. Yeah. YEAH.
A Kiss With A Fist - Florence + the Machine (Danny/Steve)
They beat each other up a lot but are also in love.
No further explanation required.
Merlin (RPF)
I'll Hold My Breath - Ellie Goulding (Bradley/Colin)
Most Colin/Bradley videos are ridiculous schmoopy happy lovefests. WHICH I SUPPORT, FYI. I just think that this would make a really gorgeous "we're in love but trying not to be and sometimes we have sex but we pretend we don't have feelings but we do look at our smiley faces because we DESPERATELY LOVE EACH OTHER. Semi-angstily" music video.
Teenage Dream - Katy Perry (Bradley/Colin)
And I will follow that last statement up with two RIDICULOUSLY POP-CHEESY IDEAS. C'mon, this could be so cutely them. THEY RUN AWAY AND DON'T EVER LOOK BACK, DON'T EVER LOOK BACK. BRADLEY'S HEART STOPS WHEN COLIN STARES AT HIM. JUST ONE LOOK, NOW BABY HE BELIEVES.
I mean, even though neither of them wear skin-tight jeans in this relationship. MUCH TO EVERYONE'S DISAPPOINTMENT.
Just The Way You Are - Bruno Mars (Bradley/Colin)
Best smitten Bradley song ever! The world always needs more videos of Bradley James being a smitten kitten. THIS IS JUST A FACT. COLIN'S SO BEAUTIFUL, AND BRADLEY TELLS HIM EVERY DAY.
Merlin
This Woman's Work - Kate Bush (Gwen/Angst, Gwen/Everyone)
This isthisissirius's favorite idea and I'm pretty sure she'd give her firstborn to whoever made it happen. But basically, Gwen's life is hard, yo, and she has all these regrets, and if someone made a vid for her to this I would BAWL. LIKE A BABY. EVEN THOUGH 50% OF THE TIME I HATE WHAT THE WRITERS DO WITH HER. I mean think of all the amazing clips that could be put to this, guys, between losing her father and Elyan and Morgana and choosing between Arthur and Lancelot! SO MUCH EPIC HEARTBREAK. SO GOOD.
My Skin - Natalie Merchant (Morgana Gen)
I'm aware a Merlin vid exists for this, but I think it fits Morgana (especially S2 Morgana) so much better, especially the I've been treated so wrong/I've been treated so long/as if I've become untouchable. CLASSIC MORGANA, YOU GUYS.
Running Up That Hill - Placebo (Merlin/Arthur)
Because Merlin just wants to take Arthur's pain away and do everything for him and protect him so Arthur never hurts and angst and love and boys and omg, this could break my heart so good.
Wonderwall - Ryan Adams (Merlin/Arthur) - FILLED BY keewick! LEAVE LOVE HERE.
Blank White Page - Mumford & Sons (Merlin/Arthur)
A really excellent gen video exists to this song already, as does a really crappy Merlin/Arthur video. I WANT A REALLY GREAT MERLIN/ARTHUR VIDEO. So sue me, I'm greedy. But come on! This would be such a good angsty I HAVE LOVED YOU SO LONG AND DONE SO MUCH FOR YOU AND YOU DON'T SEE AND ALL YOU WANT IS GWEN WHEN SHE HASN'T DONE JACK DIDDLY AND I WOULD DIE FOR YOU Merlin!angst video. AND ARTHUR DESERVES IT.
Love the Way You Lie - Eminem ft. Rhianna (Uther/Morgana)
As you can see, a totally amazeballs video was already made for this, but this was before we had season 3 and only some of that stuff filmed from Comic-Con. CLEARLY THIS NEEDS TO BE RE-MADE IN LIGHT OF WHAT WE NOW HAVE SEEN. Clearly.
Kandi - One Eskimo (Gwen/Lancelot, sort of Gwen/Arthur)
The first lines of this song are "You've been my queen/for longer than you know/my love for you has been/every step I take/every day I live/everything I see/and if I get things wrong/don't want you to think/I'm running away". I MEAN COME THE FUCK ON. This song isn't just asking to be made into a Gwen/Lancelot video, it is naked and writhing on your bed SCREAMING to be made into a Gwen/Lancelot video.
Cosmic Love - Florence + The Machine (Arthur/Merlin)
This is, like, my ultimate Merlin/Arthur song. Merlin's always in the shadow of Arthur's heart! Merlin would stay in the darkness for Arthur! aksljdflksdjflksdjflkj. THIS SONG IS SO THEM. Also I just really like Florence + The Machine.
A Whole New World from Aladdin (Aladdin!Merlin/Princess Jasmine!Arthur)
THIS IS ALLclevermonikerr's FAULT. We were discussing Arthur's attitudes on magic and how Merlin being magic would open up a whole new school of thought for him, and all of a sudden my brain went "!!!!" and realized THIS HAS TO HAPPEN. Or someone could write fic. I don't care. Just think about it! Lovable scamp Merlin teaches Merlin about the whole new (magical) world! Shining, shimmering, splendid! Think of the genius. THINK OF THE JOY.
The Special Two - Missy Higgins (Merlin/Arthur)
Speaking of perfect Merlin!Angst songs because he loves Arthur so much more than Gwen ever could and he would do anything for him, this song. omg. I would cry so hard to this video. PLEASE MAKE IT.
Hello - Lionel Richie (Merlin/Arthur)
I'm aware this is like the billionth time I've asked for this, but clearly I have no shame. It would be so cracky and lolarious and has not left my head since Arthur blinked awake to Merlin's big gormless OMG HI ILU smile in the Fisher King episode. IN HIS DREAMS HE'S KISSEDTHOSE LIPS A THOUSAND TIMES. It would just be so great, you guys.
Battlefield - Jordin Sparks (Morgana/Everyone, Morgana/Badassery)
Okay, I hate this song,but it recently came on the radio and it was either this or commercials, so I listened to it, and I actually listened to the lyrics and was like "WELL, SLAP MY ASS AND CALL ME SALLY". Because this could be such a kickass Morgana video. She never meant to start a war! Why do all the men in her life betray her? Why does love always feel like a battlefield?
Maps - Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Merlin/Arthur)
Wait! No one loves Arthur like Merlin loves Arthur!
Are you sensing a theme in all my Merlin/Arthur ideas? I BET YOU ARE.
Sherlock
Mardy Bum - Arctic Monkeys (John/Sherlock)
This is a stupidly adorable song about all the constant little spats you get in with a significant other and I was listening to it recently and going "wouldn't that be an adorable Sherlock/John video?" It would be John all "SHERLOCK WHY IS THERE A SEVERED BODY PART HERE? WHY DON'T YOU HAVE FEELINGS? WHY ARE YOU A JERK?" and then Sherlock is all "LET'S GO SOLVE CRIME! ....also I love you" and then John is all "FINE! ...I sort of love you too." AND THEN THEY SOLVE CRIME. It'd be pretty cute, is all I'm saying.
I Am Not A Robot - Marina and the Diamonds (Sherlock, Sherlock/John-ish)
Okay, I only like two Marina and the Diamonds songs, and both of them make really great Sherlock vids. This one because you know that Sherlock isn't really a robot. John makes him have soft squishy feelings and be vulnerable.
Obsessions - Marina and the Diamonds (Sherlock/John)
What I really, really love about Sherlock Holmes and John Watson in any incarnation is that they're both profoundly fucked-up people. Like, profoundly. Both of them are addicts (well, in the most modern incarnation, John never quite develops his gambling streak, but the war's clearly made him far more of an adrenaline junkie than the original Watson) and both of them, instead of curing their addictions, transfer those obsessions to crime and each other. Bam. Video'd!
Stray Italian Greyhound - Vienna Teng (Sherlock/John)
So there is a brain-numbingly amazing Danny/Steve video to this, which I watched so many times that ZShare was like YOU CAN'T WATCH THIS ANYMORE so then I was just listening to the song and realized that hey, THIS WOULD ALSO BE AN AMAZING SHERLOCK/JOHN VID. Because John gives Sherlock feeeeeeelings! And he can't control his feeeeelings! And he's so scary! But so in love! FEEEEELINGS!
ANYWAY. I'll get to the giant Merlin spam of both parts of the finale soon, but it's taking a long time because I keep forgetting I'm actually trying to take screencaps and think up commentary and next thing I know it's twenty minutes later and I've re-watched it and not done a damn thing because I'm to distracted by the pretty. MY LIFE, SO HARD.
