Happy Valentine's Day! If you like cuddly pet love more than romantic love, you might enjoy this vid I made for @bironic.bsky.social for #festivids. Dogs and people who love them!

Finally, my #Festivids gift from @colls.bsky.social was this great Star Trek Prodigy vid! I should have guessed it was colls, our tastes in sci-fi overlap a lot. archiveofourown.org/collections/...
Both vids are also an example of why #Festivids is such a great fannish exchange. I love Dykes to Watch Out For, but I'm not sure I would have independently vidded it - or LEARNED TO VID COMICS - if I weren't in the vid exchange.
Now I know how to do image editing!
Three comics panels where two women slowly move to kiss each other as a second woman watches and looks triumphant.
For this year's #Festivids, I made two vids, both for Alison Bechdel's Dykes to Watch Out For!
I had never vidded comics before, so I was both excited and terrified when I got assigned @lillythekid.bsky.social's request. But super happy with the results!

New fanvid! I made a Secret of NiMH vid for #Festivids. I have so many feelings about Mrs Brisby, a little mouse and devoted mother who is constantly having the most alarming day of her life and keeps moving anyway.

I also made a #Festivids treat for @eruthros.bsky.social! Christian Cooper likes birds, and so do I, and people seem to have really liked this vid. Yay birding and birds!

I made two vids for #Festivids! My assignment was a Hook vid for @winterevanesce.bsky.social. This movie is WEIRD and I just leaned into the pirate action.

A #Festivids rec:
This vid by marah_sarie is a perfect recruiter vid for Knight Flower, which was one of my best TV experiences last year. Cho Yeowha is a widow constrained by society’s rules by day, a masked, sword fighting hero of the downtrodden by night:

I wasn’t going to do anything for #Festivids this year because I had a stressful autumn and figured I didn’t need to add deadline stress. Then I saw dirty_diana’s request come up as a pinch hit and I knew I absolutely had to grab it. I’m glad I did, because making this vid has been good for my soul.
I made a vid for #Festivids! dirty_diana asked for Emmanouil Karalis (cute Greek pole vaulter) RPF & I made a vid about his very good face, friendship between competitors, and most of all about striving to be your own best though someone else will always be better

A bunch of chefs in Culinary Class Wars (dressed in black) doing a group hug. The title of the vid is Go Hard.
A teenaged girl and an old woman reaching over a Japanese floor table to do a thumb-to-thumb move. The vid's title is "The World is Full of Different Colors" but that isn't displayed, instead the movie's title in Japanese & English is, along with "Festivids 2025".
Qiu Tian and Zhu Yilong in Land of Broken Hearts looking absolutely gorgeous in where they're sitting on a sofa in a rosy glow. She's laughing, he's got a tentative look as they stare at something together. The title of the vid is Go Do!
Closeup of someone lighting a cigarette for a woman with red lipstick. The title of the vid is "Touch".
For this year's #Festivids I made five (5!) vids for four fandoms - two of which I picked up from great request letters. Gonna thread them here! Quick overview:
유령 | Phantom - 2x F/F
负负得正 | Land of Broken Hearts - M/F
メタモルフォーゼの縁側 | BL Metamorphosis - Gen
흑백요리사: 요리 계급 전쟁 | Culinary Class Wars - Gen
I have not sorted out a signed version of this yet, but I made you better not kill the groove, a clue vid, for #festivids! archiveofourown.org/works/77495466
today is REVEALS DAY at #Festivids! Lots of amazing fanvids - tell everyone you know who likes vids or tv or watching stuff that's dope as hell. I made four vids this year, and am pretty proud of them all:
I have finally watched the #festivids emmanouil karalis (pole vaulter) vid and OMG IT MADE ME CRY archiveofourown.org/collections/...
#martinfreeman (and/or Morena Baccarin) fans, I got an Ode to Joy fanvid for #festivids. Afaik, the first vid to this movie! They picked a great song. ❤️

Omg it's #FESTIVIDS DAY
cried a bit over this murderbot vid set to pet shop boys’ it’s a sin. 2025 was a big murderbot year for me, so i feel a lot of things about the show/stories, and this look at personhood/connection really got to me. #festivids archiveofourown.org/works/78638331
hamlets through the ages set to green day’s basket case. am i just paranoid? am i just stoned? archiveofourown.org/collections/... #festivids

naturally the first vid i watched was for the first US leg of long live the black parade. i'd been missing this part of the storyline, honestly! (flashing but no sleep, thankfully.) #mcr #festivids archiveofourown.org/works/76759746
short notice, but there's a #Festivids watch party happening in the vid watching discord! Starting in ten minutes!
