I'm a vid addict lately. Vids of all types, shapes, and sizes intrigue me. I also keep finding a ton of gems on youtube, as crazy as that might sound. There are a lot of gems buried under the crappy stuff, and they have a unique flavor that must come from being primarily youtube-community as opposed to livejournal-community. There's more to that, but I'm sure it's already been meta'd all over the place.

So, vid rec! Er, again. You can probably expect a lot of these from me. I'm tip-toeing back into fandom it seems, and less as a creator, more as a fan.

Crazy In Love by sisabet and cappy.
Merlin, Merlin/Arthur.

Merlin as Beyonce, Arthur as Jay Z. Don't tell me you're shocked. If you need something to pick you up and dust you off after a long, dredge-filled day at work, or maybe you just got into a fight with your partner and you're wondering why you put up with him/her anymore... watch this video. For the first person, you'll relax and laugh. For the second, you'll realize that you don't put up with nearly as much as Merlin does and he still TOTALLY DIGS Arthur.

What really caught me up with this video was how unapologetically fun it was. I love to find that true joy in a video, where you can tell the vidder had a blast making it. There's also some creative syncing action going on there, where through actions or lip-service, the characters are the mouthpieces of the song. I adore that trick, because it brings a musical-esque quality to a video.

Watch, have fun, and don't be afraid to leave feedback, even if it's just a quick, "You're awesome!"... because it's true, isn't it?

I just spent half a day trying to get this uploaded with my internet cap. OH MY GOD, I HATE HUGHES NET!! er, I mean. Enjoy.

Feedback is always appreciated.

Three video clips, for your pleasure. If you're interested in why so many people are watching this show, but don't want to download a whole episode, take a look behind the cut.

( 3 embedded clips of Merlin 1x10 )

They've also been added here, with the detailed episode reaction.

I don't even DO episode reactions for the most part.

MERLIN MAKES ME WANT TO. I just. I dunno. It's a thing. I think I have an actual *crush* on a television show. How does that even work? I can't buy it flowers. Well, I could, but that would just be... weird. Weird-er.

ETA: NOW WITH A FEW VIDEO CLIPS OF THE EPISODE FOR THE CURIOUS

Another guilty!pleasure video. Don't judge me! *headdesk*

Any feedback is adored, tickled pink, then put in a safe place to be gawked at repeatedly.

Meet my new favoritest boys, Colin and Bradley respectively.

Notice what I notice? MFEO. Or me... respectively. I need a boygirlfriend, guys. This single stuff is making me all googly eyed.

I am so into BBC's Merlin right now, it's scary. Like, I'm supposed to be vidding something serious and awesome, but all I can do is vid Highly Sugary Merlin CUTEBOYS vids. Little do you guys know what sits on my computer right now. My nearly dead computer at that! Merlin. Arthur. Colin. Bradley. I have not felt like this about a new show since Supernatural. Or, even farther back, season 1 of The O.C. (and only season 1). What is it with me loving the unlikely slashable duo of beefy tough blonde dude and brainy somewhat weird looking skinny dark haired dude? I adore it! It's my kink!

... I've spent too long on the internet today, hoping RPS would pop up, or a really good Merlin/Arthur story.

There was, however, this. And this. To be stared at. If only I could see it in real time. These boys are just asking for an rps fandom. Truly, I swear, if it happens, they've only themselves to blame.

Is it wrong to spend an entire day with merlinxarthur open in your internet browser?

*draws heart around new fandom*

I might even let you guys see my cotton candy flavored Merlin vid one day, if you're nice and promise not to judge it too deeply. It was all in good fun!
