shadowkatI rather enjoyed doing that last post and apparently I have time on my hands. One of the side-effects of being laid up with a broken foot - is you do have a lot of time on your hands.
An aside on vids - I can't do them myself, so I'm relying on people who have created their own and posted to You Tube, the vid usually states who it is by. Also the trick of a good vid and music match-up is to catch the essence of a character or match-up that explains to someone else what you loved or see in them. What pricked your interest.
All of the below vids have spoilers. I have them arranged by tv series/fandom:
1. Doctor Who
I've the perfect song for Doctor Who and River Song pairing..."Time After Time by Cyndie Lauper" - although I prefer a different version of the song.
10th Doctor Who - "It's My Life" - I liked this video best and the song has a nice ironic twist for this lyric: "It's my Life, it's now or never, I'm not going to live forever..."
But it has the joi de vivre of the companions that join the doctor. Or expresses why they do it.
2) Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel the Series
* Xander Harris - I don't know what the song is here, but it actually works, and this is the only vid I could find that fit him and the only song...
What I loved most about Xander was his quips. The character made me laugh. Whedon infused Xander with his quippy self-deprecating charm.
Weirdly there's more Xander/Buffy, Xander/Giles (really? okaay. I get Xander/Spike and even Xander/Angel, but Xander/Giles??), Xander/Dawn (doesn't work for me...but to each their own),
Xander/ Willow (now that one I actually shipped briefly), Xander/Anya...
I find one for Xander/Cordy that I think works better for Xander/Anya - "The Story of US"
* Darla - found the following intense vid to "Sea Lion Woman" by Fiest:
This works so well, with the words and the rhythm - it has that teasing deceptiveness that was at the heart of Darla. When I heard the song - I admittedly thought, Darla.
* Angelus - to the song "Dragula by Rob Zombie":
* And oh dear, someone actually did a Fanged Four vid to Lady Gaga's Bad Romance - that's too perfect:
* Spike and Angel to "They Can't Take That Away From Me"...and if you are like me you may well mistake the line..."we may never meet again on the bumpy road of life" to "we may never meet again on the buffy road of life."
3. Game of Thrones:
The following are vids for Jamie Lannister, which are quite good and contain spoilers through S3 of the television series. But no book spoilers.
*
The song is ironic particularly in how the vid pairs with it. Works brilliantly.
*
And finally You Won't Forget My Name
*
I'm clearly a fan of tortured characters.
Here's a Tyrion Lannister vid - and the only one I could find with a song...and it is fittingly to The Raines of Castamere.
Weirdly I think the song fits Tyrion better, due to the heightened irony.
And here's Ayra:
5) OUAT
All of these vids have major plot spoilers through S2. Nothing past S2.
* Emma/Neal - this does have spoilers for S2:
Emma
This is a good video and song pairing for Regina to Let it Rock:
Finally found a decent and not too sappy Henry+Emma video...that fits how I see their relationship to I'll Save the World
I like this vid, because it is a tad subversive gender wise.
Finally...the sexy ones:
* Hook to the song For Your Entertainment
Fitting, because he literally is there for our entertainment.
*Rumplestilskin to the song "Remedy" - the lyrics quite fit the tortured soul that is Rumple:
And two interesting takes on the Cora/Rumple relationship, the first to the song "Tragedy" and the second to the Lady Gaga Song Love Game, which is just a tad racy.
Both of these have spoilers galore for season 2.

b)
Both get across their twisted and tragic relationship.

Date: 2013-07-06 11:54 am (UTC)So was I. And they are oddly better than the Anya/Xander ones. I was hunting Xander vids and could barely find any. Most were overly sentimental. I don't like overly sentimental vids...particularly not in association with Xander.
YT seems to jump on named vids with copyright.
Weird considering the number of Game of Thrones and Once Upon A Time vids that are actual segments from the series. They aren't vids. They are actual scenes. That is actually copyright infringement. More so than vids are. Maybe the copyright owners don't care? It really does depend on the owner.
Under copyright law - you sort of have to police it yourself or go after it yourself. No one does it for you.
I know DW is hard to find clips on because BBC is insane about stomping on copyrighted material. Not sure about Buffy and Angel, though.
Fox really began to police and crack down on sites around 2003/2004 for Buffy/Angel. They didn't get insane about it until 2005 or thereabouts. I think it took them a while to figure out the internet and how it was impinging on their copyright. I've noticed some copyright owners get more obsessive about copyright after a show is no longer on the air or readily available.
Though I still haven't found a Doctor/River vid to For Blue Skies, which shook my faith in fandom.
I just looked, they have Doctor/Amy and Doctor/Rose. The Doctor/River shippers, like myself, are sort of in the minority apparently, because River wasn't a companion and a controversial character. (ie. not the traditional female sidekick).
Controversial or Ships that aren't as embraced by the core of fandom seem to have less vids. I noticed that.
