dear festividder letter

Anime Crimes Division: A crime show parody playing in a city of "Weaboos". 
Tagline: ”In Neo Otaku City, there are two kinds of people. The kind that can recite the Sailor Moon theme song from memory in the original Japanese, and the kind who don’t belong here.“
I didn´t realize till I wrote this that I nominated two crime shows/genre parodies, this just happend.
Its made with a lot of love and always makes me grin.
season 1: 3 episodes around 10 minutes each. season 2: 6 episodes around 10 minutes each
I am not really looking for a shippy vid between the two leads but otherwise really open for anything. 

Powwow Highway (1989)
“Buddy Red Bow fights to keep his Montana Cheyenne Reservation independence so his sister is arrested in Santa Fe, and together he and his semi-friend Philbert set off on a road trip to look after her kids and go bail her out.”
Great unlikely buddy road trip movie. I love the soundtrack, and the shots of the landscape - but most of all I love how earnest the emotions feel, and the found family-ness/community feel of it.
Warning for: theme of racism and genocide, drugs, police, war and torture, car accident, fire - this list of warnings make it sound A LOT more grim then it is.
I would love pretty much any vid you wanna vid here: wether it is more light hearted or more serious, gen, ensemble or shippy
 
Bombay Rose (2019) 
"3 interwoven story: a young woman who falls in love, her younger sisters english teacher and her lost love, and a street kid the younger sister meets one day."
I like art style and how it changes to show the different characters fantasys. I love stories about story telling and I find some of that in this movie. From an emotional stand the story of the young woman and her lover did not got to me that much so I wouldnt like a movie only focusing on them that much.
 
Fillmore!
The second crime show/genre parody on the list. I loved this as a kid. 
I love the interesting and wacky side characters. 
I like how it goes hard for Redemptation and Second Chances, which is very different from most Cop shows,
Warning:
solidary confiment (only in episode 1), police processings, one episode where a character "fakes" being disabled which comes out when the person stands up and runs a tiny bit (so many things wrong with that) bullying, eating contenst/over eating
I am not really looking for a Cornelius Filmore/Ingrid Third shippy vid, through I love their friendship dynamic. Also I would like that ableist scene/episode not being included.
 
Kisima Ingitchuna | Never Alone (Game)
"You play as a young Iñupiat and a fox ghost who have to flee after the villiage of the girl has been attacked."
It is written by Iñupiat and show cast information about (and by) the community as well as traditional art of Iñupiat people.
I love vids that in some sort of way manage to capture some of the game play feel/mechanics in them.
 
The Tea Dragon Society (Webcomic)
"A young blacksmith apprentice learns about the almost forgotten art of tea dragon keeping."
A very gentle story about growing up, with a sweet pastel coloured art with soft curves. I like the diversity in the people we meet and how hopeful the stories are told.
Warning for: light blood and violence
 
American Hippo - Sarah Gailey (Book)
"What if cowboys had hippos instead of horses."
I just love the concept of this book. Its something different and the way it handles that was fun.
It also really diverse in terms of race and gender, sexuality and that was cool too.
Vids for non visual sources are hard and I would be absolutely thrilled by whatever anyone want to make.
(That said I wasnt that much of a fan of Winslow Houndstooth and Hero Shackebly "romance" but I did LOVE Hero and Adelias relationship and Regina  “Archie” Archambault and Houndstooths.)
Warning for a lot of violence, light transphobia, pregnancy
 
Bill & Ted Save the Universe (Comic)  
I love the movies, because when I first saw them (and also now) I took them without a bite of irony, I think we all should try to be (more) excellent to eachother, the idea that this guys love for music and eachother saved the world inprinted into my head and did not let go -
the comic is a great follow up on that. I like how colourful it is, I like the more fantastical wacky world we see here.
I adore Bill and Teds relationship, and I like theirs and Rufus. There is also the plot/theme of their relationship with their parents, and while I understand why it might not be for everyone I like stories that instead of being very black and white goes this people may not be "bad" people but they were bad at being the parent you needed as a kid - this speaks to me.
Warning for: parental neglet, alcohlism,
