40:12 dance, you beautiful chunk of the universe [vid playlist]

[kiki_eng]

I went to a wedding this past weekend, and meant to get this thrown together before the weekend happened, but that did not happen, so it is instead a slightly belated wedding gift. Hilariously (to me, at least) Let's Get It Started was on this list before the weekend happened, and has become more fitting since.

01. The Brain Scoop | Know Today by absternr | 1:00
I just want to know something today
     + This is excellent and does a great job of capturing Emily's enthusiasm for learning and science, and also a little bit that oh god, what am I doing, where am I going, is that a reanimated raccoon in my kitchen, I'm sure it's fine of being a young adult.

02. Whip It (2009) | Firework by leanwellback | 3:49
come on, let your colours burst
     + Juno's journey, finding derby, her confidence, and herself.

03. Schitt's Creek | Slow Show by sisabet | 4:07
I want to hurry home to you
     + David and Patrick, flailing a little bit, and finding each other. This is such a great weaving together of all of their moments up to the last season.

04. The Great British Bake Off | All In Together by odessie | 3:13
all in together now
     + Such a wonderful celebration of GBBO - friendship, weirdness, creativity, and science. Small accomplishments, ridiculousness, and dancing.

05. Doctor Who | Love is Cool by purplefringe and such_heights | 2:32
one: for starry nights // love is endless
     + Ponds, the Doctor, and love. Full of dancing and chaos and so many hugs. Journeys, and love, love, love, love, love, love.

06. Multifandom | Stand By You by thingswithwings | 4:01
love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you
     + Teamwork makes the dream work. Trust, respect, and fighting the same fight. thingswithwings's summary is "Male privilege is a shield; you can choose what you use the shield for." and, yeah, that's this vid, and its answer is "#LaunchWomenIntoTheAir".

07. Multifandom | Love You Like That by smilebackwards | 1:26
you've got the real thing
     + A wonderful little packet of joy.

08. Multifandom | Cut to the Feeling by AbsoluteDestiny | 3:28
I want to play where you play
     + All of the Disney love stories to Carly Rae Jepsen, just gloriously sugar-y pop.

09. Star Wars | Let's Get It Started by bessyboo | 3:38
follow your intuition
     + Lightsabers, so many lightsabers, and fighting as dancing.

10. Doctor Who | Mothership by laurashapiro | 2:29
dance you beautiful chunk of the universe
     + This vid has so much fun and movement in it; the beat-matching and lyrics-pairing are glorious.

11. I Love Lucy | Va Va Voom by JetpackMonkey | 3:02
just hold on tight and let me do my dance
     + Old timey hijinks to a club tune. A fun tribute to Lucy and the show, with a few meta show business nods that are entertaining me a bit more than they should.

12. Multifandom | Starships by bironic | 3:37
starships were meant to fly
     + A celebration of science fiction, space, and star ships. Gorgeously woven.

13. The Planets (2019)| Lanterns by elipie | 3:50
the light that we have found
     + Humanity's striving towards the stars, literally. Hope and yearning. About science, the past, and the future.
