Dear Festividder,
Hello! Thank you so much for making me a vid!! I love all these fandoms dearly and requested them all for a reason, so I will be super excited about anything you decide to make. I'm very easy to please, so if you have an idea that I don't mention below, go for it and don't fret over whether or not I'll like it. I will!
Music: I like pretty much everything! It's mostly just important to me that the song fits the vid. I am particularly fond of late 90s pop, alt rock, 60s-90s rock, and top 40.
Likes/Dislikes: I love teamwork, friendship feels, and found family more than anything! Obviously a few of the fandoms I'm requesting don't have much of this, so no need to force it if it's not there (and I will give you other ideas below, if that is the case!). I also like character studies, vids I can dance to, and vids that are clearly a labor of love. There isn't much I dislike! Dialogue over music and flashy effects aren't my favorite, but there are vids I've liked that have had both of those things, so I trust your judgment!
FANDOMS:
America (Comics)
America is amaaaaazing, and I'd love anything you did with this source! Feel free to utilize her appearances from other comics, too, but the fandom I'm requesting is specifically the new Gabby Rivera run. I'm very much into America/Kate, and any of her canonical relationships. What really drew me into this comic (besides a queer woman of color punching bad guys) was the explanation of her ancestry, and her relationship with Madrimar.
American Vandal (TV)
This show is so deep and has such a good sense of humor. I went to school for TV production, and the morning show and the attempts to film a documentary both made me laugh so hard, because the portrayals were so accurate. Anything focusing on that could be really interesting. My faves were Dylan (oh, Dylan), Christa, and Peter, but I kind of loved everybody. I'd also love an ensemble/overview vid.
Baywatch (2017) [SAFETY]
I am in this for The Rock, and also Zac Efron (but mostly The Rock). You can make it gay, you can make it over the top, I don't really care. Just make it fun!
Nightwing (Webseries) [SAFETY]
A repeat request from last year! I'm going to echo my details from last year's letter because my feelings about it remain the same:
For those not familiar, this is a really impressive fanmade webseries. It has its cringey moments (especially in the beginning), but overall it’s so good and I absolutely loved it! Danny Shepherd is really great as Nightwing, the fight choreography is incredible, and the whole thing is just soooo pretty.
I would be over the moon for any vid of this series! It’s only about 50 minutes, so please feel free to use outside footage (BTS footage, comics, animation, etc.) to supplement if you need/want to (but don’t feel pressured — just an option I am open to). As far as the webseries itself goes, I am particularly fond of any fight scenes involving Nightwing, and Dick’s interactions with Bruce, Babs, and Jason.
Party of Five (TV)
I just kind of fell into watching this show for the first time a few months ago, and despite it's many, many flaws, I am here for the family feels. Pretty much everyone does something that makes me want to headdesk forever, but I do like that these characters are all deeply flawed and fight a lot, but ultimately don't give up on each other (at least, not yet? I'm only in season 2!). I'd love a vid about the whole family, or a character study of any one or combination of any of the family members (or Kirsten, who totally counts).
Property Brothers RPF
This is my favorite of all the HGTV shows! Drew and Jonathan are both delightful humans and I enjoy watching them a lot. I'd be happy with something to do with just them (I would happily take platonic bros being bros or... not so platonic. Whichever fits your comfort level is all good with me!). If you want to dive into the actual house showings and renovations, and/or various encounters with the buyers, that could be fun, too!
Queen Sugar (TV)
Another repeat request! I'll admit I haven't seen any of season 2 yet, but I promise I will soon (and will update this request once I do, if there's anything I feel like I need to add). I love the three siblings pretty equally and would love a character study on any of them, or something about all three of them and their relationships with each other.
That Thing You Do! (1996) [SAFETY]
This movie is so, so important to me. I used to watch this with my family every year (and we still try to, when we're all together), and it played a significant role in my love of music, and my connection with my dad over music. One thing I would really, really love to see in vid form is Guy's pure love for music (and drumming in particular, which also happens to be my instrument of choice). With how quickly everything and everyone changes around him, he and his art stay constant.
Thank you again, Festividder! I can't wait to see your vid! <3
