Dear Festividder and anyone who decides to make a treat,

I'm very excited to be getting a vid from you! This year's requests are all about the fun. <3

Robert Sean Leonard RPF

He's handsome; he's weird; all his pop culture references are from the 1970s. I'm 100% convinced he's autistic (one of us). The Tumblrinas have declared him gender goals. Perhaps some of that is how he can't grow good-looking facial hair?

I sincerely love him AND I enjoy mocking his foibles, which are many. There's not a lot of RPF footage of him because he's a homebody and he doesn't like working. Here is a YouTube playlist of publicly available interviews, behind-the-scenes videos, etc. and my stash of pictures. I really like two moments from the House MD Swan Song video Hugh Laurie made (6:17 RSL cuddling up to Hugh's stand-in and 28:55 RSL's pants with dogs on them) which is available for purchase on YouTube and not in other places such as people's stashes of pictures. The Festivids mods have said you can also use footage from his works to supplement, so here's his IMDB. [personal profile] bironic knows the extent of my obsession fannish interest.

BREAKING NEWS: Brand new video of him 12/18/23, which I've only seen in GIF form. He is losing his hair but not his fondness for out-of-date pop culture references; I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.

For music for your RSL vid, if you went by his pop culture references, it'd be a lot of white artists from the 1970s and before, but I'm not as keen on that era as 1980s progressive/alternative (from when he and I were actually teens). However, I've been into Sub-Radio lately, and their song "King of My Heart" would be a lovely fit with how I feel about RSL overall:



Or, I would bet RSL would agree wholeheartedly with the message in their remake "I Don't Wanna Dance With Nobody"




Ode to Joy (2019) [SAFETY] - Cute romcom with an interesting (if a bit farfetched) neurodivergence plot.* Melissa Rauch is hilarious. Really open to anything, but I'm very curious what happened after the movie ended, so if you want to crossover with other Martin Freeman works (Breeders?) and Morena Baccarin works (Deadpool?) to show that, I would be forever in your debt. *OK, having An Emotion does not literally make me or perhaps anyone pass out/shut down. But having to manage your life extremely closely or otherwise Too Much is very relatable.

Overboard (1987) [SAFETY] - Does this movie make you squeal with delight? YOU, ME, AND REESE WITHERSPOON! (Did you see her shout-out to the movie at the Oscars? Awesome!) This movie is cute and sweet and funny and adorable, with a fun amnesia subplot! And, it's got major, disturbing consent issues (including forced servitude) AND it acknowledges that. A straight-up Dean/Annie romance vid would not work for me, nor would an "excusing Dean" vid. But there are still so many possibilities for chosen-family or who-am-I stories to tell.

Watson and Holmes (Comics) - In awe of anyone who can vid comics, so your idea will be better than mine!

The Mysterious Benedict Society (TV) - The styling of this show fascinates me; it's such its own unique world. That's what would appeal most in a vid -- focus on the visuals and how they are telling a story of their own.

Sliders (TV) - All the AUs! Parallel universes! The mpreg episode and the one where they bring up selfcest! Real-life brothers play fictional brothers who were separated at birth! I can't stand the Kromaggs/war subplot that took over the whole show zzzzzzzz; would love a vid looking at the "leap of the week" / multiverse aspect instead.

Music: I personally enjoy 1980s alternative and geek rock (They Might Be Giants, Dead Milkmen, Weezer, BNL, Devo, Paul and Storm, Jonathan Coulton) but am definitely open to other genres. I like vids that tell a story (or make a point, or tell a joke, or some combination thereof), and songs that tell a story lend themselves pretty well to that.
