Multi-Fandom LGBTQ+ Characters Collab ("hope ur ok" by Olivia Rodrigo) 🏳️‍🌈🦋(Happy Coming Out Day!)

[Please turn on the Closed Captions (CC) for a transcription of the voiceovers!!] #fanvidfeed #lgbtqia #oliviarodrigo ~~ Hi everyone! I really am frustrated with myself for not being able to get this collab up on time for October 11th while it was still the annual Coming Out Day holiday! I really tried so hard but life was not cooperating this past week. At least I was semi close. I kinda regret some of my life choices in staying up all night to do this lol but at the same time I am glad it's out of the way now.
But thank you to everyone else for being on time and making such powerful & impactful and beautiful parts with such a wide array of fandoms! I definitely think we did this song justice in the end. :) And special thanks to Pitu' for cutting up the song for all of us at the beginning!
I hope you all like the coloring & the thumbnail I designed. ;) Please leave a comment if you enjoy it!

I finally got around to watch this. It turned out so well! Everyone’s parts works so well with the song, well done everyone :)

[@VioletEmerald]

I was most impressed with the match you found of a female queer character who did something related to raising her brother on her own. But all your matches were impressive and really great! Thanks so much for participating, per usual!

[@MusicThroughTheMoods]

this turned out absolutely amazing! everyone's part came out so well!! I also adore the hugging scene from Heartstopper used at the end, it's such a perfect way to conclude this edit! thank you so much for reaching out to me about this collab! I had such a blast making my part💜🫶

[@VioletEmerald]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you were in it! The pacing of your part was so pleasing when it got to the start of the bridge, and I loved so so much that Anne With An E quote about what the person brings to the world vs the passive what the world holds for someone. And the Isaac ace stuff and the way you vidded it gave me all the feelings, was so glad you included it. I am ace and watched Heartstopper primarily for the ace rep and to see what it was like ;) I know&love so many of your fandoms though!

[@VioletEmerald]

The next LGBTQ+ characters collab is ready for people to sign up to join it! Please do if you can, @MusicThroughTheMoods!

[@Supsi85]

That's so cool how the final part was full of "okay"'s :) Amazing job everyone. I can feel how everyone did their best to match the theme.

[@VioletEmerald]

Thank you, I'm really glad you liked that in my ending part! I really wish that episode with Darcy from Heartstopper and the aftermath of her mom kicking her out (that group hug I ended the video on) I could've also been one more okay. Because various characters talked about hoping Darcy and Darcy/Tara were and asking if they were okay repeatedly but it didn't quite fit in.

[@Smurfa85]

Amazing as always!! 🧡 It's so special for me to be part of this themed-collab each year 😊 Everyone did an incredible job matching the lyrics!! It kinda worried me when I cut up the song that we should've picked the other song 😅but everyone rose up to the challenge, as usual. Beautiful collab! 🤩

[@VioletEmerald]

I felt similarly when people chose this song, I was worried it would be too hard but I'm so impressed with everyone's lyric matching for even the trickiest of lyrics! Your part was great btw! Loved everything about this and it's so special for me too.

[@EmmieClassix]

this turned out so good! I really liked how your final part wrapped everything up!

[@VioletEmerald]

Thank you! I loved your part so much! And most of them!

[@ElizabethMcCormick-s2n]

My aunt tried to pray the gay in the case of my cousin!

[@VioletEmerald]

I'm very sorry. I hope you are close with your cousin and they know how much you support them despite their own mother not being a good mother to them in this key way.

[@ElizabethMcCormick-s2n]

@@VioletEmeraldHe does!

[@lbchatterbox]

This was such a powerful collab. I loved every part.

[@VioletEmerald]

Thank you! I agree, every part was powerful!

[@wildxheart]

I am sobbing. This is beautiful.

[@VioletEmerald]

Thanks for watchful and commenting!! Making my own parts was making me cry because so many of the scenes I was vidding were so emotionally charged with intense hurt and/or comfort ;) rewatching them to vid them was a lot. This collab is a lot. People did such a beautiful job capturing the entire message of it and finding pretty good matches for even the tricky lyrics.

[@KenzieLillian]

You all did a beautiful job 🏳️‍🌈

[@VioletEmerald]

Thank you!
