Fandom: Arcane
Fanwork type: Vid
Pairings/Characters: Vi
Rating and/or Content Warnings: T. Violence, flashing
Links: Vi - Teach Me To Fight
Summary: A montage of Vi as she beats the crud out of people at different points in her life.

Reccer's Notes: Shows a headstrong, aggressive female character who gets into a lot of different fights. The pacing is kind of frenetic, but it matches the energy of the song well. If you're interested in this, you might want to check out the canon, Arcane, which has multiple different women participating in fights, each with unique fighting styles.

[personal profile] sunlit_skycat
Fandom: Arcane
Fanwork type: Vid
Pairings/Characters: Jinx, Caitlyn Kirammen
Rating and/or Content Warnings: T?  Note for some quick moments of violence and death.
Links: Vengeance
Summary: Drawing out the parallels between the journeys of Caitlyn and Jinx, two different characters on opposite sides of a class divide who are driven to do terrible things over grief and pain.

Reccer's Notes: This 6 minute fanvid does what a lot of half hour video essays fail to achieve. A lot of technical skill went into making this.

If you're interested in what you see here, you may want to check out the fandom too. Arcane is a really good canon in general for female characters who are allowed to be messy, complicated, terrible people! The show is very beautifully animated. There's a lot of F/F options in the fandom, including a canon couple.

Summary: i've set my sights / on what is mine

Reccer's Notes: This is (mostly) a vid for the Telltale game, and it is very cool as a game vid – as well as being a great portrayal of Drummer's determination (and the player's!)

Rating and/or Content Warnings: M, graphic violence

Summary: I'm just a skipping stone, an echo on the water.

Reccer's Notes: This is great look at Fringilla and her relationships, and particularly her envy. Not to mention ambition and ruthlessness!

Reccer's Notes:
Found family! The vibe in this vid is like a warm hug. The internal movement on the editing is so well done that it's seamless and feels like the footage was built around the song vs. the other way around.

What I love about this vid is ... everything! It's message to me is basically "women are not to be trifled with and here are some amazing examples why"

Summary: "Am I your dream girl?"

Reccer's Notes: I am a sucker for Florence + The Machine and this vid really pulls you in. The narrative about one woman's obsession (possession? haunting?) with another woman is sexy and unnerving at the same time. I don't know the source, but the vid is very tense and incredibly well-edited.

Rating and/or Content Warnings: Gen, some blood/violence, harm to children, underage grooming
Summary:  Is it Rose you're looking for? 
 
Reccer's Notes: This is a beautifully edited, sublimely creepy vid. It's all instrumental with select snippets of dialogue that make your hair stand up. Mesmerizing even when you're not familiar with the source.

This vid does a really good job of encapsulating the varied stories the women in this show have and how important and epic they are to everything. It's also very heart-warming and so good on repeated viewings.

Summary: Margo Madison's milkshake (brain) brings all the boys (Soviets) to the yard.

Reccer's Notes: It's an INCREDIBLE song choice for Margo. She's the smartest person in the room and the Soviets cannot stop her. The vid does a wonderful job of blending the upbeat, sassy and fun from the song along with the serious undertones from the show surrounding Margo's character.

This vid incorporates footage from The Expanse: A Telltale Series (Video Game) seamlessly into a tale about Camina Drummer being badass and the vidder uses in-game selections to show different paths in a very creative way.
