I think possibly my favorite part of the vid is the HORRORS at "shut up and forget it" - because yes, this is SHINY! HAPPY! BOYS! fandom, but ... the skeevy bits and the problematic elements of canon, they're not going to be invisible just because the boys will be PRETTY at them.
I appreciate so much that you included that, as someone who enjoys the fandom as a passing fancy when she's in the mood for Arthurian AU but can't actually interact with either canon or fandom for very long because those bits tend to get glossed over too easily for her tastes.
But those boys are adorable, too, and this vid was so cute and sweet and bouncy - but that spot of a darker, nastier vibe to the show that all the slashiness in the world can't erase, that just hit me so perfectly.
