We Didn’t Start the Fire – 50 Years of Fandom

[details here]

password to watch: fandom!

Wow. Wow wow wow wow.

For me, the best thing about this is the fact that it’s in a pretty chronological order. Because eventually I was like “It’s nice to see all the fandoms of yore— WAIT, THIS IS WHERE I CAME IN!” and then water was leaking from my eyeholes because omg, hello fandoms that I have seen rise and fall. 

This is a fucking masterpiece of vidding.

I got teary when I saw Due South. ❤

Omg so many tears, so many feelings. 

This is one of the best fandom things I’ve ever seen.

Wow. Yes.

omg folks the commentary (linked above) is amazing too, they have a chart showing how they linked the clips with the lyrics and their historical references, holy fuck, this is so many things that are awesome about fandom all rolled into one vid. 

I will never *not* reblog this. You start watching it at first and you think it’s just a cute video and then it gets to where *you* joined in fandom and you’re so happy and grinning but somewhere near the end, possibly by the montage of badass ladies, you find yourself all choked up and teary-eyed.

Wanted to not like this, due to inclusion of that one goddamn vid. Loved it.

Dammit.

Fandom’ll do that.

I watched the vid and read the comments and I had the exact same reaction. When it got to the bit where I was like “AND THIS IS WHERE I CAME IN” I’m suddenly sat there grinning and then at the end I cried with that last bit about fan effort and love and I just really fucking love fandom, alright?

Mostly I was just really really relieved when I scrolled down and everybody else was talking about how they were crying too. Because yep.

I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one tearing up.  This is amazing.
