Okay, I've had this idea for a while, and I've been thinking about putting it into a songfic myself. But I think it would make a great AMV. The song is called 'Not The Doctor' by Alanis Morisette, and it's a good choice for anyone who wants to see Tohru decide she's tired of helping everybody with their problems.
Not The Doctor
Alanis Morisette
I don't want to be the filler if the void is solely yours
I don't want to be your glass of single malt whiskey
Hidden in the bottom drawer
I don't want to be a bandage if the wound is not mine
Lend me some fresh air
I don't want to be adored for what I merely represent to you
I don't want to be your babysitter
You're a very big boy now
I don't want to be your mother
I didn't carry you in my womb for nine months
Show me the back door
Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6
Well I already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh
Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom
You see it's too much to ask for and I am not the doctor
I don't want to be the sweeper of the eggshells that you walk upon
I don't want to be your other half I believe that 1 and 1 make 2
I don't want to be your food or the light from the fridge
on your face at midnight
Hey what are you hungry for
I don't want to be the glue that holds your pieces together
I don't want to be your idol
See this pedestal is high and I'm afraid of heights
I don't want to be lived through
A vicarious occasion
Please open the window
Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6
Well I already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh
Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom
You see it's too much to ask for and I am not the doctor
I don't want to live on someday when my motto is last week
I don't want to be responsible for your fractured heart
and its wounded beat
I don't want to be a substitute for the smoke you've been inhaling
What do you thank me
What do you thank me for
Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6
Well I already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh
Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom
You see it's too much to ask for and I am not the doctor
Let me know if you should choose to do this!
Tough Tohru!

i assume you mean tohru honda of fruits basket. i have a friend or two who might take it on, if they have the footage. i'll ask. it might be best with a lot of clips, and there may not be enough, in which case it would be best as a songfic. i would do it that way, too, even if a video is possible, if you have the time.

intriguing... I somehow doubt the footage would fit though.... but as requiette pointed out,
lmao! somebody really should use that somehow. Tohru would be a cool one, but... sometimes it's just impossible to go that far across the grain. maybe love hina, but that wouldn't be thinking too far out of it's boundarys.requiett wrote:Wow. That was really deep. I could make people cry with a song like that.

I think it could work if you just take Tohru doing what she does throughout most of the series--freaking out over other people. The song talks about being tired of that, and to indicate that she's stopped there could be moments with her by herself...there are plenty of clips of that. ^^; I don't know, this is coming from someone who doesn't even know how to make AMVs, I'm just going by images I know are in the series. I'm glad people seem to like the idea though.
