Vid: Iron Fist - Brothers & Sisters (Big Bright World)

[sholio]

I actually made this back at the end of October for Iron Fist Week on Tumblr, but I never crossposted it here!

One of the reasons, I think, why I latched onto Iron Fist as hard as I did is because of the heavy focus on sibling interactions, and in particular on what I can only describe as unrequited sibling-hood between (mostly) unrelated characters -- "I really want to be your sibling! Do you feel the same way? Will you let me?" You just don't get that in fictional relationships much. Basically it's a show that puts as much plot time and complicated feels into family and surrogate-family relationships as most shows do into romance. (And they're also explicitly described in the show as a family - an extremely conflicted family, but still a family, even though most of the members aren't each other's blood relatives.)

So I made a vid about it. Spoilers for both seasons.

Title: Brothers & Sisters (Big Bright World)
Fandom: Iron Fist
Spoilers/Seasons: highly spoilery for both seasons

Big Bright World
Song/lyrics by Garbage

We are difficult to understand
It was hard to make the simple plan work
Difficult, that's what made it burn

You're a satellite
Around my heart
One million miles before the start
Indescribable, that's what makes it you

Shivers up and down my spine
Feet to the deep
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world

You rage against the dying
Rage against the dying light

You're mysterious, you make no sense
I love you 'cause you're innocent
You fell out through a hole inside the sun
So magnify the best inside me
Fill the parts that you can't find me
The parts that won't give out when things get hard

Shivers up and down my spine
Feet to the deep
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world

Round and round in the setting sun
Round and round in the setting sun
Round and round in the setting sun
Round and round round and round and round

Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Rage against the dying
Rage against the dying light

I'm with you

...I don't want to watch the vid until I've seen the show, but I gotta say you are doing a smashing job of reccing this series to me, and I'm looking forward to it once I've crawled my way out of this cdrama pit I've fallen into (it may take time, it's very deep... ^^;;;;)

Hee! I'm really enjoying watching you enjoy your cdrama pit, though. XDD Don't climb out of it 'til you're ready! All the other enticing fannish things will still be there (and you're doing a good job of making it enticing to me too; right now I'm too deep in my kung fu soap opera pit to climb out quite yet, but I've been really enjoying your tumblr posts ...).

HAPPY FANDOM THINGS FOR THE WIN! \o/
