Go me!

So I finally found the song for the Toph & Teo vid I wanna do for cripbigbang! (It’s Beyonce’s “I Was Here.”)

I’m still nervous that it won’t have enough to do with the fic I’m complementing, but the song is about wanting to make a mark on the world and the fic involves Toph and Teo going around the world and making it a more accessible place.

Also, it’s a slow and possibly haunting tune (oh no not another one. At least I'm planning a Child's Play-series vid to a Fred Penner song? Hush.) And I love how in the fic Toph meets a blind person who isn't a bender, and that she's incredulous/shocked that there are blind people who can't get jobs. And the song being kind of sad-sounding will help me focus on her Disability Superpower as a TVTropes-style deconstruction of the trope. (As in, she learned that needing help is toxic and bad and also that being able to do things better than most people is what makes her valuable.)

Of course, there are problems making a 4-minute Toph and Teo vid--like how there just aren't a lot of scenes of Teo. Also, LOTS of Toph vids use the same clips of her fighting in "The Blind Bandit," and I'd like to avoid those. But they're awesome!

Also I'm sure clips from Legend of Korra would be fabulous, but I'm way behind on Korra.

*sigh*
