VID: "Accidentally In Love" - Psych, slash, storyvid

[luciazephyr]

Just in time for the new episode on Friday.

Title: Accidentally In Love
Vidder: Lucia Zephyr (lucia_tanaka)
Song: the overdone "Accidentally In Love" by the Counting Crows. But with a twist.
Fandom: Psych
Warnings: Slash, slash, slash. And a lot more plotty than you'd expect from this song.
Format: WMV, high quality, 640x480, 46.6 mb file, 3:17.

Summary: The short version- Constructed universe that assumes (like the rest of the fandom) that Shawn and Gus are together. Alas, things go pear-shaped when Shawn meets Detective Lassiter.

Vidder Notes: So, this vid happened entirely by accident. I started out just tossing together a cute, fun, OTP-friendly vid that would pander to both the major pairings. Then, I got halfway through and looked over the WiP and discovered that there was a serious subtext in the vid. Chi told me to run with it, and I did.

So the vid became the story of Shawn, Gus, and Lassiter in a funky love triangle. Shawn's been with Gus, is comfortable with him, and loves him dearly. Then, of course, Shawn's contentment is shattered when he meets Lassiter. Lassiter's pushy, bossy, snappy, rude, and intense in ways Gus just isn't. Shawn develops a wee crush. Gus notices and is worried, but Shawn reassures him this is nothing. But still, they work together and Shawn finds himself flirting more and more with Lassiter, who flirts back in his own "I'll crush you with deathglare" way. It's a trainwreck from there. It sounds like one long romance fic. Which I am so not gonna write. Because I have will power. >.>

HUGE kudos to Chi and Voni. Chi's the one who made me do the vidfic thing and the both of them forced me to agonize over some timing gags that didn't work. Thank you, girls. You guys rock the cashbah.

Enjoy the video! If you enjoy it, lemme know.

This was great! You included my favorite Gus/Shawn scene when Gus takes a sip from Shawn's smoothie. The transitions were excellent and the "c'mon c'mon" bits were perfect! The vid was also great for a Lassiter/Shawn shipper as I am. You really did capture their toe stepping relationship.

Also I loved the music you picked. That song has to be in Shawn's iPod because of how bouncy it is.

Because I have will power.

And I'm sure that there are people around who are more than willing to nudge you into the writing direction. I'm one of them of course.

Thank you for sharing and making this video.

I'm VERY glad you liked it. Wow, there are other S/L slashers? *happiness*

You realize if I do write it, I'll be breaking Gus's heart? I do like Gus a lot, just adore Lassiter to pieces. *pets poor Gus*

[asemic.livejournal.com]

Wow, there are other S/L slashers? *happiness*

There should be more because it's so obvious that Lassiter wants to have angry "I hate you but I need you" relations with Shawn.

I do like Gus a lot, just adore Lassiter to pieces. *pets poor Gus*

As do I! My only solution is to get the three of them in bed together but I don't know if Shawn could handle bookended by the two of them.

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

Yes, totally. I've done a ton of OTPs, but this one makes me happier than normal. Just the... nevermind. NC-17-ish thoughts. Don't wanna scar you. T.T

See, I am slightly squicked squicked by anything approaching OT3 for two reasons.
1- "Gus, why are you shagging the guy who's shagging your boyfriend?"
2- Lassiter? Would not share. No way in hell.

I'm not watching it yet, because I haven't seen the show yet (I am *so* behind on my tv watching!) but if you need a permanent place to host it, let me know. I have oodles of space and bandwidth.

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

I'd love it and dear god, Perian, you gotta watch. It is good.

[perian.livejournal.com]

*headdesk* I totally forgot to upload this for you! But here is the link for it:

And I've finally watched the first episode. So cute!

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

Oh, AWESOME! *loves you*

Isn't is great? It is one of the slashiest things ever too. *loves on Shawn and Lassiter and their gropy relationship*

[geekfreak03.livejournal.com]

*headdesk* There's no threesome! *whine* There's not even a pairing! *cry*

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

Please, stop. I'm a slasher. You have to deal with it.

[grey853.livejournal.com]

Thanks for a great vid. I just love the energy of this show and the vid picked up on that, with a fast beat and an excellent use fo the clips.

I got it from YouTube because the other link expired, but it was great fun to watch.

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

the other link expired

*waves magic wand* No, it there. *smile*

[grey853.livejournal.com]

Yea! Thanks. I appreciate that.

[bipagan.livejournal.com]

I watched this the other day but didn't leave a comment. Adore. I've been watching this show at my friend's house and it has become a habit. Thank you for the fun.

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

*nodnod* You are quite welcome.

*twirls*

Hehe first, I gotta say how much I love your top banner. Serious business, indeed!

Now, onto the next bit of business! I loved your video. I wasn't sure how anyone could make a vid with the small number of episodes we've been given so far, but you did it perfectly, and it's fun to see a vid about Shawn, Lassiter and Gus!

Great job, the timings nice and the scenes fit with the lyrics!

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

I know! Got it off the best free layout maker ever, space_graphics. She is amazing.

And, in truth, Psych is just about the perfect fandom for vids. Well, beat-centered, fast-paced vids, anyway. I couldn't imagine doing a slow, serious vid. Psych's lead character is just a ball of motion and he does things, as do most of the other characters.

I've vidded both Numb3rs and Psych, one right after the other, and the difference is astounding. Numb3rs has a cast of characters that just doesn't move. Psych has characters that react, that emote, that have stark emotions. It's a complete dream to vid.

That was probably more reply than you wanted, but oh well! Thank you for the review!

[tallisen.livejournal.com]

Oh actually I love your reply! It's nice to see what someone thinks of Psych, and comparing it with another show I watch nonetheless! You're very right about the differences. Psych is a nice change of pace compared to most of the tv dramas I watch.

If I poke around a bit, will I find more Psych vids? Or if I wait patiently, will you post more? It'd love to see what else you've got up your sleeves!

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

*laughs* I hate Numb3rs as a show, and the fandom disappoints me, but I can't stop since Charlie and Larry are so fascinating.

No, I checked. I am the first vid, but, yes, I am planning more Psych fannish stuff. Namely, two fics (one gen, one Shawn/Lassiter, cause I like my OTPs fucked-up all to hell) and I will probably do another vid. Just waiting for inspiration to strike me.

[tallisen.livejournal.com]

I mainly watch Numb3rs for Don. He's so boring but I followed the actor over from Northern Exposure. I actually keep my fingers crossed every episode in hope they'll give us a good action scene at the end. ;)

I hope you have fun with the vids and fics. I'll be sure to keep my eyes on the slash community. I just discovered it today, actuallly. I was wondering if anyone had written Shawn/Gus and stumbled upon a nice fiery Shawn/Lassiter by mayatawi instead. Now my brain is fried and I can't decide between the two pairings. :P

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

I see a pattern with Don- if you've seen Morrow in something else, you watch it for Don. If not, it's all "Don who?"

Well, why not both? When you want comfort and covalence and understanding-without-speaking, Gus/Shawn is made for you.

On the other hand, if you're like me and want conflict, that thin line between love and hate, and god-they're-gonna-kill-or-shag-each-other tension? Shawn/Lassiter. Every. Day. Of. The. Week. *nods*

[tallisen.livejournal.com]

It's so rare when you can find two polar opposite pairings like that in a tv show. You're right tho! Why take one when you can have two? Wow this show is spoiling me! :)

[lucius-admirer.livejournal.com]

got it from YouTube (dial up internet you know). I oh so love this vid!! *big grin* awww that was so cute!! I love the song so much, it should have won an Oscar ^^ *is a Counting Crows fan* Now I'm going to watch it again, heee =)


and sorry that one stupid person had to flame this post. If she or he doesn't like slash, she/he should stay away. And this show *is* totally gay =)

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

The Crows are made of awesome, I must say. *grins* Glad you liked.

The flamer was an old friend of mine. I have no idea why the hell she insists on doing that. This has happened a lot. It's not like I keep my slasher tendancies a secret. T.T

[lucius-admirer.livejournal.com]

yes, they are :D they should do another studio record!


still not very nice. And slash is fun :) and Shawn Spencer is totally gay...or at least bisexual...ok I go by bisexual, he's like House (the gay jokes, the attitude etc.).


btw how's your Shawn/Lassie fanmix doing?

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

*has no Crow CDs, only a few spare songs*

I go with Shawn being a trisexual. He rejects labels- he likes sex and love in general.

The playlist is done and we're hammering out the artwork. This is a very difficult task. I hope to get it up by Monday-ish, but I am not gonna promise anything. Except that it'll be AWESOME.

[lucius-admirer.livejournal.com]

*has every crows cd at her parents'* I only have the Greatest Hits and This Desert Life on my computer. You want them?

hihi trisexuel, that's good =)

omg can't wait to listen to it! yay's. I'm sure it's going to be awesome, it's Shawn/Lassie after all =) I'm also looking forward to the artwork =)

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

I'd love the CDs! I'm a slut for new music.

Thank you, Jonathan Larson. *bows to the majesty of "La Vie Boheme"*

It is really awesome. I'm biased, obviously, but some of the songs are really fantastic. And the art lunarwolfik's made so far makes me flail wildly.

Are you on AIM of YIM?

[lucius-admirer.livejournal.com]

ok if I find the time I upload them for ya ♥

I'm really looking forward to. I'm sure it's quite difficult to find songs fitting Shawn's personality, the same goes for Lassie's. At least I can't think of any except for Accidentally in Love (obvisiously ^^), One Week by Barenaked Ladies and maybe Maria Mena's You're the only one (which I'm listening to at the moment lol). I love fanmixes =) hheee made my first McShep mix when I was at my parents' (actually it's a House/Wilson and McShep mix) =)

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

Thank you muchly!

Lassiter songs were a pain in the ass. Shawn is easy, but I'm used to him by now. Lassiter is complex and has this... in his music, you have to look for both hate and love, both feelings very passionate because he is a passionate man. He doesn't feel emotions softly. *pets him*

(Saw your mix, shall DL and listen tonight and review later. *glee*)

[lucius-admirer.livejournal.com]

look, I made a screencap of Judging Amy on Friday. Actually I made more than one, but it didn't really work >_>

My aim name is lucimon84, but I'm not online at the moment, because I'm learning for my exams next week...ok, actually I'm reading a McShep fanfic right now, but afterwards I must go back to the stuff I have to learn xD b-o-r-i-n-g

I loved this video! It's so perfectly put together. I can't believe I've not seen it on YouTube before. I don't suppose there's any chance of you uploading it somewhere so I can download it, is there? *smiles winningly*

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry this took so long, but I have to get the vid off of someone else since I lost all my vids when I switched from Windows XP to Ubuntu Linux.

Now, though, my girl has uploaded the vid to a permanent MegaUpload account, so the new link shouldn't expire.

Sorry for the delay!

[lipstickcat.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ^_^

[atlantisgrrrl.livejournal.com]

Nawww! And also wow. I'm late and very new to this fandom - and this really resonates with me. It's cute and warm but has this, dunno, unacknowledged something underneath, that really intrigues me. Yay!

[aireyail.livejournal.com]

I know that this is three years late, but the video is still great and I just wanted to let you know that the link doesn't work anymore. Something about a third party and copyright?
