This is one of those moments that are better without context.

Azula/Ty Lee: hey, if Nickelodeon Magazine wants me to ship them, I'm not going to argue.

Also, bnharrison linked me to this vid, which manages to have talky face and STILL be amazing. (Possibly talky face is just one of those hazards of the job with cartoon vidding? Rather like OldSchool Who?) Anyway, it inspired vague thoughts about the following:

(a) Christian music is surprisingly good for vidding, because the metaphors we use to describe God can become remarkably literal when paired with genre footage. Or, Liz is still a bit amazed that "Late, Great Planet Earth" by, um, a band whose name she can't remember wasn't actually written about a Dalek invasion.

(b) I think I like Zuko because he hits the same narrative kink as Snape, ie, a man with great potential for both good and evil who has done and may go on to do terrible things, but who is scrabbling his way towards redemption. At the same time, their Epic Emo is undermined by the way the narrative has NO RESPECT for their inherent dignity, so they end up spitting and flailing as Sirius Black/Aang* escapes under their noses.

(c) Vids are great, aren't they?

* NOT a pairing I want to see in fic, thanks.

Teehee. I didn't think of it that way but...yes. (My icon is another moment from that comic with a certain out-of-context charm)

Talky face is actually easier to avoid with cartoons, according to my AMV making friend who is quite derisive about how much talky face there is in live action vids. In her opinion, the only acceptable talky face is singing along in perfect time with the music.

*makes note of vid to load tomorrow morning when the internet is faster*

The band is called "Plumb". It's your fault I went off and got a couple of their albums, you know.
