I could have written this secret. Where did fun AMVs go? I miss 2012.

[(Anonymous)]

There are a lot of vids on AO3 under the tag "Fanvids". That's where I go.

[(Anonymous)]

It is a real crime. I remember a few years ago I wanted to both take a trip down memory lane and see what was out there at the time so I did exactly that - went to YT and typed in a few fandoms or pairings + AMV - and I was incredibly disappointed by the lack of results. Or rather, just random ass promotional stuff.

Good fanvids used to be so good and how I discovered a lot of good music.

[(Anonymous)]

I miss them too, truly a fantastic cornerstone of fandom. I wonder if the rampant copyright issues on YT are to blame? Or perhaps it's out of style now in modern fandom? Hard to tell, but it's a sad loss.

[(Anonymous)]

They don't even call them AMVs anymore - they're edits that last less than a minute :'(

We use to have longer - we use to have to listen to music through AMVs before music companies caught on that they could upload official music videos too!

[neoyi]

God, same. The days of 4 minute videos of your favorite ship and/or favorite characters to a kickass tune is such a bygone era. I miss it so much.

[(Anonymous)]

I was thinking the same thing recently. I missed this a lot too!

[(Anonymous)]

I find some here or there, but yeah, it's not like how it was in the late 2000s and early 2010s.

Tangent: This secret just made me remember when my best friend (who's not really into internet culture but active in some fandoms) first discovered fanmade MVs for ships. I think he found it at some FB Disney fanpage he follows. It was a FMV of Prince Eric and Aladdin (I think) based off an AU fanfic.
I can't recall if he thought it was a legit official trailer from Disney or if he was surprised to find M/M shipping in the Disney fandom.
XD
It was so sweet to see him be excited to see gay shipping in Disney related stuff. He's a huge Disney fan.

The actual innovation I like is people turning still manga and webtoon panels into animated edits using whatever tool it is that makes it look like they're swiveling on an angle. I feel like you could use that for something really inventive, if you were willing to sustain the energy to edit something that lasted longer than a minute. We can be literally be making fanvids of stuff not originally in video format! Why are we not maximising this?

When I submitted the secret to the secret maker, I admit I was thinking of the hair on male characters, all that fluffed feathered mullet type of do they all had, But I am glad now I didn't specify because this has been a hot trip down memory lane. Thank you secret maker.

All those wispy bangs...

I loved hair in the 90s. Early 90s, the women's hair was a more polished style of big hair that remained from the 80s (Nicole Kidman and Julia Louis-Dreyfest's curly manes, The Rachel), and both short/pixie cuts and long straight hair (boxed braids for the Black girlies) were trendy.

Men's hair were interesting too! Floppy long hair, twisted futuristic anime inspired spikes XD, dreads.

Funnily enough, once I realized a lot of common Ace tropes applied to me and that I am Ace I stopped feeling such strong feelings towards fictional characters and unattainable famous people.

I used to have really strong attachments to certain actors, characters they played, and fictional characters (like most kids who grew up in the 90s, one of my first anime crushes was Darien from Sailor Moon), but in the past few years I haven't really found anyone to squee over.

It's a challenge for me to remember who was the last famous person or fictional character I had what I used to coin as a fangirl crush on. LOL

I sometimes want to have an actor or character to latch onto and have day dreams about or to have fic ideas run through my mind, but lately, I just don't want to. I could think of fic ideas and they're fun to think about but not in this way in which I have strong desires to actively think of it or to want to write fic for.

It's a little hard for me to express it in words lol

has anyone told them the most obvious smell here is their desperation?

I'm the same way! Don't like Spirk at all. Prefer Spones, McKirk, and McSpirk.

How's your weekend going so far, FS?

[(Anonymous)]

Consider this a casual conversation thread to talk about what you're up to, what you've got planned, or if you've got nothing planned at all except holding down one end of the couch all weekend and trying not to eat too many snacks. (Guess which one is my agenda.)

Chinese Traditional Medicine is the biggest load of utter bullshit on the planet. You know when Russia Communized, Stalin would never have put up with that level of superstition masquerading as science sticking around. Shame the Chinese Communist Party did.
