YouTube Shame: SCVs

[foxysquidalso]

I was wishing for somewhere to make a post about doofy fannish things, and then I remembered, Hey, I have a fan journal! So I can embarrass myself here.

One thing you might not know about me, unless you are one of the 3-4 people I talk to on AIM who I am not afraid to completely shame myself in front of, is the fact that I have a huge and powerful weakness for fan videos. Terrible ones, great ones, ones with embarrassing songs you wouldn't want anyone to know you listen to... they're just so fun and ridiculous, how can I resist?

Sad but true: when slacking off online, I am almost always looking up fan videos on YouTube. Looking for the next big thing, hunting for my next video fix, so I can show my buddies and they can either laugh at me or enjoy the glory along with me.

At any given time, I tend to have a particular type of fan video I am most in the mood for, and the current moment is no exception. Lately, even though I have never played FF7, my desired plat du jour is a little something I call "Sad Cloud Videos". I'm sure it is because I painted FF characters as gifts for my friends; while looking them up, I started to empathize with the characters, because I would empathize with an unremarkable gray rock if you gave it a name and a tragic backstory.


Technically, these are Sad Zack/Cloud Videos, but that's not as catchy.

Edit:

redvelvetaddict: i met a rock once who was kicked into the tire of a parked vehicle :c
it wasn't hurting anyone
foxysquid: NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO
;_;
that's so sad
poor tire, too
redvelvetaddict: its name was Billy the rock
foxysquid: oh BILLY
poor rock ;_;
redvelvetaddict: the rock and tire became bffs though so i guess everything worked out!
foxysquid: OH AWESOME
yayyy
i ship them
redvelvetaddict: hahhahahahahah <333333333333
foxysquid: haahaha
and thus, my reaction to everything
ENCAPSULATED
redvelvetaddict: BEAUTIFUL *sheds a tear*

Edit #2:

[some time later...]

foxysquid: haha i am imagining miles and phoenix as billy the rock and the tire.

I HAVE RARELY FELT SO ALIVE AS I HAVE DONE WHILE ENJOYING THIS POST.

Your plat du jour is magnifique! Haha, I consider you my purveyor of fine fan videos. So let go your shame! Embrace joy! Embrace Sad Cloud! Embrace the General Who Stopped Being a General! <3

I hope that Billy the rock can one day find the strength to reveal his beautiful heart to that unyielding tire. Just sayin'.
*tears*

Ha ha, THAT IS EXCELLENT NEWS. Thank you, sir.

I'm so glad you enjoyed these Sad Cloud Videos--yes, I must not be ashamed! I must embrace the dystopian misery of Final Fantasy Seven. For poor Cloud and his dead boyfriend's sake.

I was picturing Miles as the rock getting kicked by von Karma into Phoenix tire, but your way works too!

BILLY THE ROCK CHOOSES DEATH.

Ha ha, okay, I cracked myself up a bit there. If I were chatting with you now, I'd say "ha" a bunch more times, as I tend to do. <3
