To the tune of “Be Italian” (lyrics) from Nine. From Night Vale: The Musical. (Full songbook.)

“Be Italian” (The Woman From Italy)

THE WOMAN So you little Night Valean rebel, you want to know about destruction? The Woman from Italy will tell you. If you want to destroy a lot of people, you take a page out of my book, because it is in my blood.

Be Italian, be Italian Track them down and smoke them out from where they hide Be Italian, be Italian Hear no pleading! That’s an insult to their pride Be uncaring, and unsparing Don’t be moved by disapproval or by pain Go on smiling as they’re dying Resurrect a few to do it all again! Ha! Be a poison, be a nightmare Leave despair and devastation in your wake Be Italian, be Italian Till your name alone’s enough to make them quake!

Hey! Be a poison, be a nightmare Leave despair and devastation in your wake Be Italian, be Italian Till your name alone’s enough to make them quake!

Must. Find. This. Movie.

Mystère à la Tour Eiffel: The French Lesbian Eiffel Tower Murder Mystery Period Costume Drama of Color in Which ZERO Lesbians Die that You’ve Been Waiting For

[with English subtitles here by the amazing sespursongles]

So I of course HAD to watch this myself to see if it was too good to be true.

It turns out, this movie was pretty much exactly what I was hoping it would be.

The murder mystery plot is funny and corny and surprising and  had a lot of twists and turns. The romance focuses on chemistry, intimacy, softness, and wooing. Two beautiful ladies in perfect gowns, hair, and makeup in gorgeous settings and lighting must somehow solve a murder mystery that has to do with the building of the Eiffel Tower, rescue each other from jail, asylums*, and many more mysterious dangers- all while casually flipping off the patriarchy so they can be together forever in eternal bliss.

The plot is basically this: Louise is a scandalously divorced woman, living with her father who coincidentally is one of the architects who helped design and construct the Eiffel Tower. After a shocking murder occurs there, a paramour foisted upon her by her father takes her on a date to a magic show where she meets the irresistibly beautiful and compelling Henriette. When Louise is framed for a second murder, Henriette offers her assistance in finding some answers before it’s too late.

It’s neither exploitatively sexual nor overly ambiguous “gals being pals.” It doesn’t take itself too seriously and it’s not trying to teach anyone a “moral lesson about [race/gender/sexuality]”; the way these aspects of the characters function in the narrative feels organic, empathetic, and relatable. You’re meant to identify with Louise and Henriette, rather than being invited to a voyeuristic display.

Overall, it’s fun, cute, awesome, and has some historical references involving detective work, architecture, psychiatry/psychology, magic and prestidigitation, and bowler hats. I’d recommend this to almost anyone, to be honest.

The merchant class has not rebuked them, nor offers much consolation to us. They merely take long sips off their cups, and rather loudly at that. These are dark days indeed.

Down the rabbit hole we go

Oof, I spent months being pissy at T*mblr for the censorship of so many accounts and limiting of sexual content. So, the irony of coming back because of something so sweet and not all that sexual is not lost on me. However, here we are. I have returned because I finally felt that special tingle. That lightheaded giddiness I haven’t felt since MFMM. And who would have imagined that of all the content I consume, I would regain that magic due to a podcast. A podcast!!! But there is no use denying it, I am totally hooked on....Welcome to Night Vale.
