Fandom, Characters/Ship, spoilers: Robin Hood, spoilers, mostly 3x12/3x13 with a few other clips. Mostly Robin and Guy, some Allan, and others. Robin/Marian and Guy/Marian, beyond that it's pretty much bring your own ship, although my Robin/Much bias is probably evident.

When TV upsets me (or just when I feel like it), I respond with vids. The Robin Hood finale upset me greatly, therefore there is vidding to be done and here's the first result. Just a general overview of the season finale and the deaths of so many beloved (and sometimes hated) characters.

Primarily focusing on Robin and Guy since they were the most prominent deaths, but Allan gets acknowledgment, and Vasey and Isabella put in appearances. As does Marian for obvious reasons. I know the song choice is a bit obvious, but I kind of chose it because of that, I wasn't going for clever this time, just angst filled.

I hope this one strikes the right emotional cord with other people, I'm vidding from a place of still flailing from the finale and I wanted to capture the reasons why. I'd appriciate feedback as always, and I hope you enjoy...even if by enjoy I mean make you cry.

I hope you enjoy...even if by enjoy I mean make you cry.

Mission accomplished. On both fronts. That was... really nice, and what a wonderful song for all of them... Everyone got their little moments in, and you reminded me of where they've been... I particularly liked that you included bits of younger Guy and Isabella, even though they hit me HARD, and the older Guy/Marian clips... yeah. That... hurts in a good way.

It's odd.... I'm broken beyond all belief about Guy, but when I see bits of the scene where he dies, or the leadup to it, I'm usually... kind of ok. I think it's because HE was at peace with it, in the end. However, any time I see anything AT ALL referencing how we lost Allan? It's like turning on a switch. I can IMMEDIATELY feel my body getting ready for some serious crying.

So... as weird as it sounds, thank you for making me cry. I think I needed to some more.

Seems like there might be a meta point in there somewhere about how for Guy I went all the way back to clips of his childhood, but Robin was pretty much from this episode. Okay a couple of points such as a) there needed to be more Guy in these last couple episodes and b) Robin's character development tends to be very of the moment therefore there was enough here, whereas Guy's is long and drawn out (and then he died on us).

I kind of agree with that. It...hurts, but that's because I already miss him, but I really do think he found peace in the end and largely because it *was* the end, he was never going to be completely alright in life, but he could face whatever comes next with some...peace.

I was surprised how much Allan's death got to me as I was vidding this, because I didn't think I had been so gutted by it, but it did get to me now.

I was tempted to repeat my tag line from my first post Doomsday vid with "You may now continue your regularly scheduled weeping" but I think there's a lot of...anger mixed in with this blubber fest that there wasn't for that episode, so it didn't feel right. But it's sort of a similar feeling, needing to pour out my pains over the ep into vid form.
