damkiannaAs I sort of mentioned a couple weeks back, I've been switching off trying to punch my way through a round of writer's block with learning how to vid! So Baby's First Vid here will soon be followed by a Korra vid, if all goes according to plan. But anyway! First time endeavoring to post a vid, so if anything's screwed up please let me know (and forgive me).
Title: Fairytale (she's only waiting)
Fandom: The Borgias
Song: Fairytale, by Sara Bareilles
Length/Size: 3:13/26.1 MB
Content Notes: Giulia, Vannozza, Lucrezia, Ursula. Mostly S1, some early S2. Implications of sexual assault in a couple spots, and a brief clip from a dream sequence depicting a character's death. But no graphic content. (Which is something of a miracle, considering the source.)
Summary: I don't care for your fairytales.
Links: Streaming and download @ Vimeo | streaming @ AO3. Embed and lyrics under the cut. Vid password is: fairytale.
This is probably the least artistic vid you will ever watch, because I was mostly using this as an excuse to learn how to use my software; in five years I'm sure I'll look back on this and weep at all the too-long cuts and terrible timing. But, for posterity:
Password: fairytale.
Cinderella's on her bedroom floor.
She's got a crush on the guy at the liquor store,
'cause Mr. Charming don't come home anymore,
and she forgets why she came here.
Sleeping Beauty's in a foul mood, for shame.
She says, "None for you, dear prince, I'm tired today.
I'd rather sleep my whole life away
than have you keep me from dreaming."
'Cause I don't care for your fairytales.
You're so worried about the maiden,
though you know she's only waiting
on the next best thing.
(next best thing)
Snow White is doing dishes again,
'cause what else could you do with seven itty bitty men?
Sends them to bed and she calls up a friend,
says, "Would you meet me at midnight?"
Tall blonde lets out a cry of despair,
says, "Would've cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair.
I'll have to find another tower somewhere
and keep away from the windows."
'Cause I don't care for your fairytales.
You're so worried about the maiden,
though you know she's only waiting
on the next best thing.
(next best thing)
Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom,
man made up a story, said that I should believe it.
Go and tell your white knight
that he's handsome in hindsight
but I don't want the next best thing.
So I sing and hold my head down,
and I break these walls 'round me.
Can't take no more
of your fairytale love.
I don't care for your fairytales.
You're so worried about the maiden,
though you know she's only waiting
on the next best thing.
I don't care,
(I don't care)
I don't care.
(I don't care)
[You] Worry about the maiden,
though you know she's only waiting.
Spent her whole life being graded
on the sanctity of patience,
and a dumb appreciation -
but this story needs some mending
and a better happy ending,
'cause I don't want the next best thing.
No, no, I don't want the next best thing.
