everything but the girl

A mashup of Supernatural, Glee, Heroes, Thor and Sherlock for a comprehensive examination of brotherly feelings in modern media formats, aka a lot of EMOTIONS!!! with Winchesters, Andersons, Petrellis, Odinsons and Holmeses.

Because really, when are they not angsty?

Set to Darren Criss & Matt Bomer's duet of Gotye's Somebody That I Used to Know
Spoilers for random episodes of all serieses/films including Glee 3.15.

( Are you ready for the angsting? The melodious, musical, fraught, broyaytastic angsting? Good! Click here! )

You can also click to watch it here, and it's on my tumblr too!

Note: I saw Avengers this weekend; the vid was completed before I saw the film and there is nothing I would have done otherwise. I may remaster it and include a clip or two when a good copy of Avengers comes out sometime late this summer, but since I did this vid before seeing the film (omgflailSOGOODspoilerycommentslater) it is not spoilery for Avengers.

About a month ago, the sylar_peter comm organized a little Countdown to Xmas project, and I had a half-done crackvid that I wanted to wrap up, and this was sort of the impetus for me to do that. I think this will be my last crack-esque Heroes vid, although I still have two Petrelli-centric vids that I may do at some random time in the future when I can bring myself to rewatch seasons three and four all the way through (or at least, all the Petrelli Bros scenes (and yes, I still include Gabriel in that count)).

So, here goes nothing:

TITLE: You Will Always Find Him In the Kitchen at Parties

SONG BY: Jona Lewie

SUMMARY: Poor Sylar! His paramour (Mohinder) ran away from home, then he met this debutante (Elle) and had no luck with her. You would always find him in the kitchen at parties... until he met Peter Petrelli. Crack. Twisted, silly crack.

SHIP/Characters: Sylar (Gabriel)/Peter, visuals of past Sylar/Maya, Sylar/Mohinder, Gabriel(Sylar)/Elle and some implied Sylar/Matt and Sylar/Brian Davis. Like I said, crack.

Rating: PG13 for moments of violence

Ah, Heroes, you were just made of complete crack and glee and wonderful moments and utter wtf-ness. I still kinda miss ya. Boom.

Okay.

I'm playing the soundtrack from My Best Friend's Wedding tonight and every song title and some of the lyrics are making me think of smidges of Heroes in the weirdest ways. I may end up doing a vid to "I'll Be Okay" (lyrics below) at some point - meta and those wonderful commentaries from S1 and S2, and the way Fuller did wonderful things and left and came back and reversed wonderful things that were in the pipeline and made them somehow worse than they would've been otherwise, and the wonderful cast members - Kristen and Brea and Dana Davis - who came and went, and the wonderful characters and powers and bits of string taped to maps and FORGIVE ME written in a closet and Claude, and Zach who was clearly the first example of the story and character going in one direction that was then changed inexplicably and we'll probably never know the real reason as to why.

Even when the plots were going weird and the characters made no sense from one episode to another and when there's no reason why they kept Sendhil around this season and wouldn't let him go be BFFs with David Tennant on "Rex Is Not Your Lawyer", I've watched, although the three episodes after Nathan this winter? I waited a few weeks to watch them, and it took last week and this week to recommit me fully.

As mystery_sock said earlier today - if it's the last episode ever, then it is.

Heroes started in September of 2006 - those of you who were on my flist then may remember that it debuted in what turned out to be the worst ten weeks of my life. My sister's husband died suddenly, then a cousin of Aaron's did as well, my daughter had her first asthma attack and ended up on steroids and in the middle of all of this, fandom had become decidedly not fun, or even pleasant, and I was completely and utterly heartbroken over it.

And this show came along. I'd heard a little about it but I mostly watched because my comic-book-loving husband wanted to, and it was on before the debut of Studio 60, which we all knew back in 2006 was going to be *the* hit of the season and of fannishness, I mean it was SORKIN.

But at nine o'clock there was a gorgeous voice with a lovely accent and then we saw Peter (oh, Milo, you've aged well but you are so much older now, only four years on) on that building in New York - the city I love so much - and he was flying and then he wasn't and after tonight the perfection of that moment still makes me gasp.

So I watched, and I fell a little in love with the show that night. And a little more every week, and by the end of the season I could hardly wait for S2. And I watched that, shortened as it was, and I started vidding and it was all about Nathan and Peter for me, except when it was about Gabriel and Peter - the twins-that-weren't-but-could-have-been-except-they-are-better-as-boyfriends-even-Eli-agrees. So many of you stopped watching, and every time I saw someone stop, I understood why - but I haven't stopped. Heroes is the first multi-season show that I've seen from the first episode - the first ever. Friends? I stopped watching somewhere in 2000 or 2001. Lois & Clark, the end of the Wedding Season. West Wing, I missed most of S6 and a lot of S7 and even those I mostly saw in catch-up sprees on DVDs. I didn't watch Buffy until S3 or 4, even with the new Doctor Who I didn't start until Dalek. Torchwood, I couldn't bear CoE so I've seen nothing of episodes 3, 4 or 5. I didn't start Supernatural until halfway the middle of S2.

But Heroes? If this is the end, then I've been with it from start to finish.

( If this is the last episode of Heroes... )

( If it isn't... )

I'll Be Okay (slightly tweaked)
It's time to let you go, it's time to say goodbye
No more excuses, no more tears to cry
There's been so many changes, I was so confused
All along you were the one. All the time I never knew.

But its so hard to let you go now, all that could have been
I'll always have the memories; he'll always have you
Fate has a way of changing just when you don't want it to.

I won't give up... I won't give in...
I can't re-create what just might have been,

Can't go on forever, baby, I can't go on forever, baby...
I'll be OK.

I'm still mad as hell and I don't have time to go 'round and 'round and 'round...

( Heroes: The Wall )

( Oh, right! It's because... )
Now, off to watch CHUCK and if it is is the last one ever I swear I will weep.

Yes, I know I said I was going to make one of these vids next, and I am getting started on my HP "All I Want for Christmas" vid, but last night's ep of Heroes resulted in my spending half the night vidding this. And all of this morning uploading it.

Song: Faith, covered by Boy Most Likely To
