Vid/AMV recs?

[oyceter]

Thinking of putting together a playlist for the Wiscon Vid Party on morally ambiguous and ambitious women. Anyone have recs for vids or AMVs that showcase power-hungry women? POC characters or characters from games or anime preferred. I'd especially love something on Kuvira from Legend of Korra, Lady Eboshi from Princess Mononoke or Kushana from Nausicaa.

Also, I am feeling old... where does one go to look for vids nowadays? I did find a fair amount of Kuvira vids on YouTube, but nothing I liked so far, and animemusicvideos.org's search is incredibly frustrating.

Currently on the list: feedingonwind's A New Day (Mariah, Luke Cage), shati's Hope on Fire (Mishil, Queen Seondeok), starlady's Shuang Nu (Wu Zetian, Detective Dee).

I get a lot of recs from https://multifandomvidrecs.tumblr.com/ and http://mmhm-vids.tumblr.com/

Going through my pinboard everything I want to rec seems to have been taken down, woe. I want to be Evil, Yzma from Emporers New Groove https://fv-poster.dreamwidth.org/193830.html has...a link but no vid download :/

Awesome, thank you for the links! Also OMG Yzma!!! I remember seeing that vid, maybe I can try and track down the vidder.

Flummery did a great Once Upon a Time vid about the evil queen to Ramalama Bang Bang by Roisin Murphy.

I loved that vid! Thanks for the reminder!

My pleasure!

This makes me very sad that it's way too early for Noksoo from Rebel to have such an AMV, since the show is still airing.

Queen Ji So from Hwarang would be a good one, but I don't know if there are any vids for her since most of fandom hated her. (Hwarang had one of the worst fandoms in the history of kdrama fandoms I've encountered.) Yao Tian from General and I would also be a good one, but I suspect any vids for her were shipper vids.

(Alas, I'm at work and so can't actually go to youtube to look right now.)

[oyceter]

Thanks for the ideas! Will try and see if I can find anything.

Madam Jami from Emperor of the Sea would also be an excellent one (she's the predecessor to Lady Mishil, in a way-"Madam Jami owns your fandom" was actually a tiny but popular icon trend with Sageuk fandom on LJ for a brief period) but I suspect there aren't many vids for that series in general since it's older, even though it was really popular for a time.

I was like PLEASE MAKE SURE TO USE "A NEW DAY"!!!! but you already had it, whew. I love that vid so much.

idk any Kuvira vids but there MUST be some. For AtLA there's "Cold War" by Noldo, about the evil ladies trio.

[oyceter]

Ahaha, "A New Day" is the entire reason I am making this playlist! I originally wasn't going to do one because work is super busy right now and I couldn't think of anything, but I really wanted that played at Wiscon even if I am not going =(.

[thingswithwings]

:D :D :D I was going to make a playlist of "unapologetic women" just so that that vid could be played at WisCon. Now that you're doing this one, I don't have to.

So sad I won't see you, though! :(

Recs from cupidsbow.

Oh, thanks so much for asking for me! Will go take a look!
