Dear Equinox Vidder
Hello! I am so excited you’ll be making a vid for me. Thank you! I’ve never participated in a vid exchange before and I’m sure whatever you make will delight me.
I am a creator who prefers more guidance rather than less so I've written the below assuming you are too. If you've got a great idea that's a totally different different direction, by all means, run with it! I am sure it will be awesome.
Music: I tend to prefer songs with lyrics, especially if they’re weird lyrics. I like most genres of music but have a fondness for 90s/2000s alt rock and pop. If a song is on a top 100 karaoke songs list, I probably love it. I hate Walk the Moon. I have been wanting to vid to Purity Ring for a while but can't seem to make it happen, so if you can, awesome.
I love vids with femslash, found family, OT3s of all genders, multiships, subtext ships, women being awesome, complicated feelings, grief, power imbalances, sexual tension and grand gestures. Dark is awesome. Adult themes, sex, violence, whatever--- bring it on.
I don't love lots of dialogue or text on screen. A line here or there is okay, but generally I find it distracting.
FANDOMS
Star Trek: Discovery - I love the contrast between Prime Georgiou and the Emperor and Michael's feelings about both of them. I love Tilly suiting up as Killy. I love how Michael wonders if pretending to be her Mirror version is chipping away at the good in her. Michael/Philippa (either of them! or both!) is a favorite but I multiship all over the place here. Bonus points for including either or both versions of Owosekun and Detmer.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - I'm all about Melinda May. The peril when she was trapped in the framework. The angst when she went forward in time and met the elderly woman who'd been her daughter in the original timeline. Character study, found family, action vid--- they're all awesome. I particularly like May's relationship with Daisy, but there might not be a ton of that in the alternate reality seasons.
Deadpool II - I love the huge gesture Cable makes for Deadpool. It's a moment of genuine kindness and hope that I didn't expect. I also love how out of place Cable is in general, this grumpy block of a man among all this insanity. Plus the "just cleaning up the timeline" tag is a delight.
The Matrix (1999) - Okay, so it's the Matrix, but Trinity is The One. I'd love a Trinity focused vid. I also love the supporting cast of characters-- Switch is a favorite, as is Mouse.
Warehouse 13 - I'm pretty vague on this one since I'd really just like to see more cool W13 vids out there. Maybe a vid focused on Claudia and the alternate dimension her brother was trapped in ("Claudia") or one on the "fix it" time travel that happened after the warehouse blew up ("The Greatest Gift" and "A New Hope"). But if you remember other alternate realities or time travel in W13 that you prefer, go with it! Team as family and femslash are awesome, but I'm open to any ships other than Pete/Myka.
Star Trek: Voyager - Kathryn Janeway is a force of nature who gives zero fucks about this timeline. Seriously, how many times did she totally, gleefully disregard the temporal prime directive? It's amazing. You go girl. Preserving a timeline is for chumps. As always, I love all the women and all the femslash. (She went back in time to save Seven. That's both canon and really gay!)
Multi - Women in the Star Trek Mirror Universe being hot, morally questionable, queer, or a combination of all three. Intendant Kira, Emperor Georgiou, Empress Sato, Sylvia Tilly, Michael Burnham, Ezri Tigan, Keyla Detmer, Joann Owosekun, Jennifer Sisko, Nyota Uhura, Jadzia Dax, T'Pol--- so much badass girl power, so many possibilities.
Thanks again, vidder! Feel free to reach out if anything is confusing or if you'd like clarification, or if you'd like to yell at me about how amazing Michelle Yeoh is. (YES, SHE IS.)
