House/Stacy vid

[laene_lif]

I, uh, finished that video I mentioned earlier.

Title: A Broken Hallelujah
Song: "Hallelujah" - Rufus Wainwright
Subject: House, House/Stacy... and the piano... and angst
Download: YouSendIt
Watch: YouTube

I hope it's not too maudlin. Just, sometimes there are those moods.

It's a really pretty song and ever since Emily and Lorrae put it on that mix-cd, I haven't been able to stop listening to it, so I had to make a video for it.

Plus it does fit House quite nicely. Allows for lots of piano-playing and brooding. This video probably also was inspired by reading namasteyoga's recently finished Eight Days, Eight Months (highly recommended). Also from re-reading (heck, let's just turn this into a fic-rec post!) Muse by pwcorgigirl and Hiding by sy_dedalus.

It's funny that I for some reason have a big weakness for House/Stacy stuff, when the majority of the fandom cannot stand her. Shrug. I think I just have a thing for angst and backstories in general. Because my other favorite subjects in House fanfiction are probably House and his parents, and Wilson and his brother.

Anyway, I think this might be, of the vids I've done, the one that's come out most like what I hoped it would.

I've already posted about how much I love your vid!

Just thought I'd add a random 2 cents about Stacy....I had a big ramble in my head about the lack of emotion she conveyed. (esp. Three Stories) and I came to the conclusion (And I've seen A LOT of Sela Wards work)and she is a great actress...but I think a lot of people think she's (Stacy) "heartless" or "unemotional" because she doesn't do a lot of crying...but if you watch that scene in Three Stories again ("Would you cut off your leg to save my life") yeah..she doesn't cry...but if you listen to her voice and look at her eyes all the emotion is totally there...and IMO her and House are very very strong people...who wouldn't sit there crying..and she's just trying to hold the tears back and so is House. Plus in the scene on the roof in "Need to Know" there is one (brilliant) solitary tear that slips out..and its just beautiful.

Stacy isn't weeping all the time because she's not like that...she's a very strong woman and the character doesn't call for that. It would be odd if her and House both sat crying all the time.

Those fics are awesome... I read them a while ago and I'm glad you share the same view! :)

I agree - she is a strong person who doesn't reveal a lot of emotion, and that's just show she is. She's a Type Three of the Enneagram personality types, and an ENTJ of the Myers-Briggs types. (...I have a slight obsession with diagnosing characters with personality types. Don't mind me. (I can list what I've decided all the House characters are, if you like!)) And actually, her composed, stoic, "I'm ignoring you," face actually reminds me of the face Wilson also gives House a lot. I mean, I don't love her as a character - we don't actually ever find out all that much about her - but I don't feel any strong feelings against her. I guess I'm pretty neutral toward her as a character, but I love the role her character plays in the story and I love the stuff it allows us to see in House's character.

Btw, I commented with a yousendit link to the post with that "Good Man" video you were having trouble downloading: here.

And glad you're a fan of those fics too! Namaste, PWCorgigirl and Sy are probably my three top favorite House writers. I discovered their stuff early on in my House obssession - since then I've found a lot of other good ones as I've gotten more and more into the fandom, but they've remained my favorites.
