HAI PROMETHIA, I am so delighted you eventually enjoyed this! I DID I ENJOYED IT SO MUCH. THIS SONG HAS NOW REPLACED MY VID SONGS ON ENDLESS LOOP IN MY LIFE. (Don't really know if I should thank you for that one, but it's sure a change of pace, so that's nice.)
I am sorry for all the FEELINGS! GOOD, YOU SHOULD BE.
<3
I need to comment on your DELIGHTFUL second vid too (why is this happening??? we are making SO MANY THINGS???) *stares at the endless accumulation of tabs of things I need to reply to* *laughs weakly* Don't worry about it.
How's your mania doing? I think I finally managed to crack the fever a bit. Not enough to, you know, be a productive human being. But I have gotten a decent night's sleep once or twice this week.
I am *fascinated* that you would not have picked Aziraphale for a vid about struggling with faith...for me, that's what his whole journey is about? . . . Is that not what you see? *ponders* You're not wrong. Obviously, you made a whole vid of it. I think the thing is that Aziraphale, being the one with, you know, an actual arc, there are many potential lenses through which one might look at his journey and find fruitful things to say. Such as, just to pick a random example, kinky sexual power dynamics. Now Crowley, on the other hand, doesn't really have an arc, per se. He's actually in a fairly stable configuration. So all there is to work with, with him, is 1) his devotion to Aziraphale and 2) his festering cesspool of God issues. Now, his devotion to Aziraphale, while truly epic and terribly sweet, is also terribly, terribly straightforward. (There's a reason that vid got made first.) Which means, if you really want to dig into Crowley, it's got to be the festering cesspool of God issues. I am reasonably certain I'm done with vidding this show *knocks on an infinite amount of wood* But if I were to make another go at it, it would almost certainly be to try to tackle Crowley and his festering cesspool of God issues in proper depth (in connection to the deeply humanist message of the show, natch.)
But, hey, now if I never make that, I have the middle verses of your vid! And magnificent verses they are. (Also all the rest of it, but when you brought Crowley in, that's when it slammed me in the gut. And I was telling elisi, I don't feel like I've seen nearly enough meta/discourse/works about the fact that Crowley has been through this particular wringer already, essentially, and is there to see Aziraphale through it. And you show that, as I said, dialogue, just so achingly beautifully.)
