Vid announcement: I Drink Alone

This is not a vid I made for Vividcon, this is a vid I made (primarily) at Vividcon. It's taken me a couple of days to finish it up because, you know, work, real life, family, and so forth, but I started paper-vidding on the plane to Chicago Thursday evening and it was 80% on the timeline when I left the badfic reading Sunday night. If you saw me vidding at con? This is what I was working on.

Exactly. You've given him purpose! :D ... although I'm less peeved with him in s2, since he's no longer ruining 90% of Sophie's screentime. Still, someone shoudl kick his ass and take away whatever invisible Top Chief Hat he's clearly got on since everyone is still listening to him.

OMG the hats and Stirling = Jim Beam and you make Nate's storyline hilarious and you pull back the angst the show invests it with and make it more real, less hallmark special and the cutting is great. Yeah, finish that sentence now! <3

And awesome song choice.

This is a great character study of how much Nate feels like he's throwing his life down the tubes, well-lubricated with alcohol. Ouch.

The editing on this part

My whole family done give up on me
And it makes me feel oh so bad
The only one who will hang out with me
Is my dear Old Grand-Dad


and the little portrait dance actually provoked giggles in my house.

Brava!

\o/ You finished it!

The mocking of Nate's manpain drinking shall commence!

It's quite fab seeing the full thing and your vids are always so entertaining. *throws sparkly hearts around*

(This is zillahseye, btw. Just can't be arsed to log out! Sorry.)

Because I'm an ardent Nate lover and this is one of my favorite Nate vids of all time, I have to ask--why do you hate him? (I read that in an earlier post.) If I had to venture a guess based on the vid, it's probably all the reasons I love him. I'm just curious. :)

Aww! I hope things get less frustrating, and I wish for you a place to vent everything that's bothering you. <3

I really meant the question in the spirit of curiosity, because as a Nate lover I can, of course, see things others might hate. In person, he'd drive me up a wall, but as a character I'm fascinated. I sit through every episode waiting for a Nate moment. I watch the commentaries, glued to what they have to say about his arc. Tim Hutton weekly? After all these years of loving the guy? Good Lord, the bounty.

Anyway, whether you're interested in responding to the question or not (and I'd certainly get it if you weren't, I've been there) know that the biggest fan Nate Ford has loved this vid, and took it in the humorous spirit it was intended.

I don't even know the fandom, and this was delightful.

Catharsis is good for the soul. :)

I love that this was made actually during VVC. And loled at the painting.

I somehow hadn't seen this? It's really brilliant.

It manages to highlight Nate's manpain while showing that, no, Nate, the reason you're drinking alone is because you have annoyed the shit out of everyone else.

(also, 100% agreed about Nate's FML face.)
