periru3 | Dear Equinox 2024

Dear Equinox Vidder,

Hello! If you're reading this because you've been assigned to make me a vid for equinox, thank you in advance for whatever wonderful vid you're going to make! If you're here because you're considering making me a treat, yay! I would always love treats!

Before I get into some specific fandom stuff, here's some general info about my preferences. Music-wise, I'm a big fan of thoughtful lyrical matches with the visual source, and I'm open to pretty much any genre. Even if it isn't something I'd listen too much myself, if a song is a good match for a source that's the most important thing. I would say there isn't anything content-wise in any of the sources I've requested that need to be avoided, and I don't have any visual triggers to avoid. My one big dislike that's worth mentioning is diegetic sound, but if it's done well I am definitely convincible. My main thing is I really prefer not to have dialogue overlapping with lyrics, but some well-deployed dialogue during instrumental moments or a sound here and there isn't an issue. Anyway, on to my fandom requests!

Child’s Play | Chucky – All Media Types

I loooove this whole franchise. I love the movies, I love the show, I love all the different horror genres Don Mancini does, I love the ridiculously consistent continuity. Anyway, Tiff and Chucky have both cheated death and come back to life too many times to count at this point, and I’d be thrilled to get a vid about either or both of them.

Fruits Basket (Anime 2019)

Fruits Basket is such a beloved Manga to me from my early days in fandom, and I was delighted when it was finally adapted into an anime that actually tells the entire story. I’d really love to see a vid all about the Sohma family and the curse and the toll it has taken on them having their souls bonded to each other in this fucked up eternal banquet. I honestly love most of the main characters and would love a vid about any or all of them. Also Akito isn’t a particular favorite of mine, but a character study of them for this theme would be super interesting.

Happy Death Day (Movies)

I enjoy the hell out of these movies, and I love that we get both a delightful horror movie in the first one and a sci-fi deep dive into the actual time loop mechanics in the second one. Whatever you want to do that fits the theme will be good with me!

Pet Sematary – All Media Types

Alright, so I gotta admit that I am not a huuuge fan of either film adaptation of this book. I enjoy the original one well enough (and do kind of feel like I should rewatch it now, having read the book) but I don’t love it, and I actually don’t like the new one… at all. BUT I love the book, and I’ve had a lot of fun myself making IT vids because I love the book despite not thinking either adaptation is perfect, and I especially enjoyed making a vid that incorporated both adaptations in an attempt to get closer to the content of the book. It’s a beautiful and upsetting book about grief. It also is deeply creepy and you never quite know the extent to which the characters are in control of their actions or not, driven by grief or by supernatural forces. Anyway, it’s a wonderful book and even though I don’t think either adaptation does it justice, I think a vid using one or both of the movies could still be really wonderful.

Poor Things (2023)

This movie is a total joy, hands down my favorite film of last year. Whatever you want to make about Bella Baxter will delight me!

Steven Universe (Cartoon)

So for this one I’d love either a Lars character study or a vid about Steven kind of being his dead mom but also not. I love Steven and his entire journey with his identity and the weird fucked up ways Rose impacts his life from beyond the grave. I also love Lars and I truly did not ever expect to. The journey he goes on from kind of the worst to an undead space pirate I love with all of my heart is amazing. Anyway, a vid about either of these things would totally delight me, Steven Universe is one of my all-time favorite shows and there simply aren’t enough vids for it!

Lisa Frankenstein (2024)

This movie was fun and silly. Seems like it’d be a very fun aesthetic to vid. Lisa is an absolute nightmare of a person and frankly I’m here for it. Whatever someone makes for this, I’m sure it’ll be a blast.

The Others (2001)

Ooooh this movie. So atmospheric. So spooky. I’ve loved this movie since I was a kid and just think you could make such a beautiful vid to it. If anyone hasn’t seen it but is interested in a great ghost story to consider vidding, I’d highly recommend checking it out.
