So, I made another Game of Thrones vid, this time about Brienne of Tarth, as an effort to work out (exorcise?) my feelings and so like, please take this from me, lol: 

Celebrity Skin song by Hole

pairing: Jaime/Brienne (incidental)

Summary: "All my life men like you've sneered at me and all my life I've been knocking men like you into the dust."

CW: Violent, bloody swordplay, she bites an ear off, that kinda stuff 


Thoughts: idk you guys but Brienne is one of my all time favs and I'm still dealing with the show ending (cutting a long run on sentence about that because not the point of this post).  Brienne feels personal to me -- like anyone who grew up too tall or too big or too loud or just too much and not fitting in and making peace with not fitting in but did you make that kinda peace because it was never an option for you or just because the other path was ultimately the better one?  And, like, I at least had markers and precedence to follow - Brienne is making this shit up as she goes based on an ideals of fealty and honor. That's badass. 

So, I guess I went obvious with the song choice here but hear me out: this was just a soundtrack I was using to work out my feelings and I was gonna replace the song once I found a better one but then the song became DEEPLY rooted in the actual thesis and I was stuck with it.  I'm ultimately not that worried because I honestly think every fandom needs a Celebrity Skin song celebrating the Celebrity Skin facts of that fandom and Captain Marvel apparently agrees and please link me to your favorite Celebrity Skin vids in the comments so that we can create the Ultimate Celebrity Skin Vid Show and somehow all feel better about ourselves along the way. 

Oh make me over,  I'm all I wanna be...


Bingo Card Update: 

I forgot to do this for Crucify so this update is for both Crucify and Celebrity Skin -  I'm gonna allow myself to claim Jaime Lannister as an anti-hero since sdwolfpup explained to me that he's basically Spike and that makes sense to me.  For Celebrity Skin I'm claiming the 90's music square, rock/pop, alternative, and action.  I'm basically "humor" away from Bingo right now  (and Moment is Me could maybe take that square but honestly I can be funnier, I think. Maybe).  

categories left until blackout: villain, cover song, multifandom, recruitment, hip hop, innocent, indie rock, techno/dance, humor, jazz, guardian, mentor  

This will probably be my last posted vid until Fanworks in August unless I have a lot of feelings between the end of the deadlines and the con which - yeah.  Anyway the next 2 months are me finishing Fanworks vids and other stuff so I hopefully will be able to tackle a bunch of these leftover categories in those vids.  I'm really hoping I don't end up watching Guardian to fulfill "guardian" because I suspect it ends very sadly based on all of the crying I see on related posts and I just don't need that kinda heartache right now, tbh.  I've got a Dick Grayson vid coming up and maybe it can swing that way -- bat family guardian tropes are always so wonderfully creepy and sorta well meaning but also, no. Stop. Don't. All of you.
