2021 Yuletide Promo Post
Welcome to the Fandom Promo post, everyone!
Here's where you get those eyes on your fandoms for sign ups!
Share what makes your Yuletide fandoms the shiniest and why you love them. A big part of Yuletide is how small our fandoms can be, and this is a good way to make sure other people know what gems there are out there!
Suggested form to use:
<b>FANDOM NAME</b>:
<b>WHAT MAKES IT GREAT</b>:
<b>WHERE CAN I FIND IT (optional)</b>:
(Bonus optional: What are you thinking of requesting for this?)
EDIT:
Useful tips (Not required, but helps people if they want to engage with your fandom!):
- Mention what form of media the canon is. Is it a comic miniseries? Is it a twenty season tv show? Is it a book? Is it a twitter feed?
- Is it standalone or part of a series?
- It's best to make each fandom its own entry with its own title in the subject line! That makes it easier for people to find/see what you're promoting! Don't worry about 'spam', that is the entire point of this entry and you're using it exactly as intended.
For reference, last year's promo post!
Thermos "Flower Series" Commercials
WHAT IT IS: Four short (~7 minutes in total) film-style commercials detailing the adventures of a magician-type character who wanders from location to location healing the world and helping people who need a little help... with the power of a well-placed Thermos.
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: The Thermos people really did just look at each other and say "If we've managed to get Zhu Yilong to agree to promote our products, then damn it, we are going to make the best use of him we can!" and then gave him a bunch of mini-movies to act in. ;D
But in all seriousness, what really appeals to me about these commercials is the sheer world-building potential. I saw the Gardenia commercial first, and it had me at "here is this person who has magic portal powers and uses them to... wander the city and solve everyone's sadness by being a... Fairy... Thermos... Father...???" And then each successive commercial I saw just compounded the potential, especially if we assume that this Wanderer/Magician character is the same character in each commercial. What kind of magic does he have? How do these worlds connect to each other? Do the people of these worlds know about the magic that helps and protects them? In the snow-covered worlds that the Magician brings light to... how did they end up so dark and cold to begin with? Why did the Magician come to them? How does he know who needs help?
(And if you want some fun crossover potential, Xiao Zhan did a commercial for bubly in which he plays a... Fairy Bubly Father? I don't even know anymore. But he basically does the same thing with cans of bubly as Zhu Yilong's character does with Thermoses in the Gardenia commercial--solves everyone sadness. Do they know each other? Do they work together? I have so many questions. XD There could also be some fun crossover potential with the Time Engraver commercials, if you wanted to go there. ^_^)
Anyway, I love these commercials a truly ridiculous amount, and I hope you'll give them a shot! ^_^
WHERE CAN I FIND IT (optional): I've put together a playlist with all four commercials which can be found here:
YouTube Playlist
...and here are links to the separate videos:
Sunflower
Gardenia
Wisteria
Camellia
(In the playlist, I've also included the Xiao Zhan commercial I mentioned above and a few behind the scenes/teasers/outtakes videos for the Flower series ads, but only the first four videos are officially part of the nominated fandom.)
