Pynk [Fanvid]

Summary:

Pink is the truth you can't hide, maybe

A celebration of girlhood, girl friends, and girlfriends.

Notes:

Premiered at FanWorks 2020.

This was a massive undertaking spurred on by my love of teen movies, female coming of age stories, and queer love stories. By the time I sat down to vid, I had seven hours of clips set aside from over 60 sources — and there are more sources I would have liked to include, but left out because they strayed a bit too far from the theme or because I couldn't acquire high-quality video (RIP Huge) or because I basically just made a full-length vid for it on these same themes but with ska (Buffy the Vampire Slayer). I tried to find sources that reflect a diversity of female experiences, although there is definitely a trend toward the thin, cis, able-bodied, and white when it comes to girls wearing pink in media. Those sources are listed below (and I've also made a handy list on letterboxd).

Content Notes: While the song is, uhhhhh, obviously yonic, the vid is similarly suggestive to the music video (more kissing, fewer vulva pants). It includes implied nudity and non-graphic teenage sexuality. There is a close-up of a bellybutton being pierced at 1:38 for those who are squeamish about such things. There is otherwise no blood, gore, or violence despite some of the more murdery fandoms included.

* Most of these have female friendship as well, but perhaps not so intensely passionate or as central as the Gal Pals movies? tbh I've read femslash about more than one of them so these are not very concrete categories.
