you all need to go give curt and jaime (and kim!!) all of the love and support they deserve for Space Baby!!! it’s only 10$ to rent, and i already know i’m going to watch it twenty times over.

i’ve always loved “lost media��� and analog horror, so this is right up my alley. everyone involved is extremely talented, and hilarious, and i enjoyed seeing what everyone brought to this world of w-w-whimsy. i hope to see more from Space Baby!!

was hugely inspired by the episode of The Irrational that Curt was in last week and decided to draw curt!Seymour from that episode :] (well. technically malcolm!Seymour BUT STILL) would truly love nothing more than to see him in an actual full production of lsoh as Seymour!!!!!!!

space baby is BRILLIANT. and honestly i have no doubts ranking it as one of the best starkid projects to date. it's difficult to put into words just how strongly i feel about it and the absolutely insane places it goes, maybe i'll post about that sometime. but for now i can say you should absolutely watch it if you can. so many amazing artists of all different mediums and talents have put their whole heart into making the most nonsensical, moving shorts i've ever seen. it's unpredictable, it's beautiful, and it is very much starkid. support it so we can see more of what everyone has to offer!!

To me, the most exciting thing about Space Baby is that its format allows starkids living outside of LA, or who haven't been in Starkid stuff recently, to actually participate in this big beautiful creative enterprise they love and helped to build. Plus it allows them to incorporate all the amazing and talented people that they've been working with for years!

I'm excited to see Meredith and Brian, and Denise Donovan, and Jae Hughes! I'm excited to see Sean & Sinéad Persaud! Nick Gage's theme song is a banger! The idea of Mary Kate Wiles and Tessa Netting in a Starkid project makes me want to scream and jump up and down and cry tears of joy!!

The musicals are great, that's what pulled me in initially, but they are limited in the sense that they typically have pretty small casts, and the cast has to live in LA. Almost everyone is playing multiple characters because the shows are so expensive to produce. They require so much time and effort, and some starkids might have to make difficult choices to take work that pays more.

But with the format of Space Baby, while I'm sure the creators have spent an obscene amount of time and effort to make this thing happen, it has a much lower barrier to entry for all those people we love in the starcanpulpwrecked orbit. They don't have to live in LA, they don't have to be able to commit weeks or months to rehearsal and running a show, some of them may even be able to do the filming on their own and send it in.

It's just a really rare and precious thing to have such a large and long-running group of creatives, that seem to have such genuine respect and affection for each other and for their craft. That can pull in new talented people, and find ways for original starkids to participate, *and* incorporate people they've been working with for years outside of Starkid.

Watching Starkid shows on youtube led me to TCB, becoming a fan of TCB introduced me to Shipwrecked and smosh and dropout. It's the reason my partner puts on Shitty Broadway songs when he knows I've had a bad day. That willingness to collaborate benefits all the individuals and companies involved, but it also benefits us as fans.

I think Space Baby itself is going to be weird and trippy and funny and maybe a little bittersweet sometimes? And that's exciting for me, but I hope it succeeds because finding ways to keep everyone in that big creative family and keep producing accessible, independent original works is a project worth pursuing

Anyways I love this beautiful space child

Hey can everyone calm down. Space Baby will go on youtube eventually. You just have to wait a little longer. Like with literally every other starkid thing, there's really not a difference here. Nothing was said that it'd be going on youtube on the 8th.

[guide-for-the-untrained-eye]

why is everyone mad abt space baby digital ticket. this is how every single other starkid production has operated. they might not have said it directly but like why would you assume it would operate differently than the last 50 releases??

[guide-for-the-untrained-eye]

Where on earth were yall seeing a “straight to YouTube” release for space baby cause it didn’t say that in ANY of the trailers or tweets, also STARKID ALWAYS DOES DIGITAL TICKETS BEFORE THE YOUTUBE RELEASE? How else do you expect them to actually be able to pay people for their work after the fact?
