I'm halfway done editing my first video essay!! I'm really excited for this, it's a step WAYY outside my comfort zone and I can't wait for people to see it.
I watched the Little Mermaid remake a couple nights ago, it's probably one of the best remakes we've gotten, which is a REALLY low bar considering 2017s beauty and the beast and 2019s Aladdin.
I finally started recording my very first video essay for youtube!! It's about one of my favorite movies, 1997s Cinderella starring Whoopi Goldberg, Whitne Houston, and Brandi.
It's really funny that in the remake of Aladdin, Jasmin has an entire powerballad about not being silenced, only to IMMEDIATELY be silenced and taken hoastage.
oh boy is today the day to talk about bertrand ‘sweetest man alive’ baudelaire headcanons????? I’m here for that
-two years older than beatrice and lemony
-the type of kid who sent Valentine’s day cards to everyone in class with absurdly kind and genial handwritten compliments inside
-would kill a man for frank sinatra
-had those ‘teach yourself to dance’ records
-spent time with olivia in the volunteer feline detectives after his own apprenticeship and became good friends with her, they have an ongoing checkers game
-got letters from theodora during lemony’s apprenticeship where theodora complained about lemony, and bertrand really liked theodora and thought she was reasonable if scatterbrained and not too hard to deal with, so if theodora was complaining about someone they must be giving her a hard time, so he initially thought lemony must be a real troublemaker
-used fun jokes and amusing poetry and gentle teasing and his general bright and well-meaning personality to try and deal with vfd, with varying success
-liked soft and happy movies, cried at sad and emotional books, could not distinguish one noir movie from another because he said they all have ‘bad lighting, who thought that was okay? none of these people can see anything’
-he actually didn’t mind noir, he just thought it was cute how much it riled up beatrice and lemony when he purposely misremembered all the noir movies they watched
-loved showing physical affection
-he dressed up as puns for halloween and beatrice HATED IT, lemony thought it was very endearing
