Fandom Trumps Hate

[elisi]

Found this via my flist (thank you yourlibrarian!). And it's just making me so very happy:

Vid: The Greatest

Summary: "Don't give up." A celebration of some badass characters of color in recent science fiction, fantasy and horror TV and movies. Made for resolute as part of the Fandom Trumps Hate 2017-2018 charity auction.

More info at AO3 (including a list of fandoms & spoilers).

The editing is exquisite and the only thing I can really compare it to 'We Didn't Start the Fire'. Which was of course about fannish history, whereas this is celebrating POCs. And how. If I had to think of one word to describe this, it'd be 'joyous'. ♥

Know Hope.

I'm glad it caught someone else's attention! It definitely deserves to be widely viewed.

I've been singing the song for days... And we really need the positive message. As one of the comments on AO3 said, it's wonderful to see just how many characters there are - like, there's THREE with wings! That's a very specialised kind of character. :)

Wow this is lovely. Apparently by the same person who made the Starships vid, which is maybe my favorite vid of all time.

I have no idea how much you're into fanvids already but you may want to check out lim/videlicet which I made an intro post about once.
