Made my first fan edit in over a decade (in my day they were called fanvids). Apparently you can't use copyrighted music longer than a minute on tiktok (it was easier to get round copyright in my day also) so this one is just for you tumblr. Also let's ignore the clips with logos in because I'm not getting clean versions to re-edit it, it's 8am and I haven't been to sleep (thanks ADHD hyperfocus stopping me from literally noticing the sun coming up!)
Edit: Had some sleep so now time to write a ridiculous number of words about a 3 minute edit! This was a lot of fun to make, I forgot how fun video editing is and capcut is a dream compared to windows movies maker and sony vegas (which was what all the cool kids were using for some reason in the mid 2000s but I never got the hang of it).
It also reminded me how fun some of the dance numbers are. Like I love Dancing in the Moonlight and Twistin' the Night Away. I know for the latter they originally had a choreographed routine but it was scrapped and and they were told improvise and have fun. It's something that definitely comes across in the final scene and it makes it feel more authentically like three siblings messing around.
Also in editing the video scenes I noticed stuff I wouldn't have otherwise. Emmy breaks multiple times because she's having so much fun (it's left in because it makes sense for her to laugh in the moment but Emmy's laugh is very different to Allison's).
The weird dance Diego does with the sword during Another One Bites the Dust, and the fact Lila has to fully step back at one point to not get hit in the face! I always thought Lila was just pulling Five in by the hand for a hug in the same scene but you can see them dancing together in the background throughout. I knew they danced together at the wedding but Five was blackout drunk at that point so it's fun to see him dancing with her at a time when he's...well not sober, but definitely less drunk.
Also as an aside, in the first draft of the script for S1E1 it's shown explicitly that Five is uncomfortable with touch after years in the apocalypse. Though the scene in question didn't make it into later drafts, it still feels implied to me throughout season 1 and it makes me feel happy to see how far he's come, seeming genuinely comfortable with Lila's affection. Also if anyone is interested in the idea of him struggling with touch @soshadysoquiet has a great fic exploring this (though rather than my view that he's become accustomed to, and comfortable with touch it posits that he's dealing with so much due to the apocalypse he doesn't recognise touch as the cause of his distress).
I also think there's a sort of theme happening in the partner dances during Footloose, rather than the characters being paired randomly but that will take long enough to explain it needs it's own post, even if this one wasn't already obscenely long.
Real theme of threes in that episode.... 3 tries with the Buddie lasagna, 3 tries with the Madney movie, 3.15 when Athena shows up at Hen’s house, May moving in with 3 other girls, Bathena cruise cabin is 330ft, 3 shifts for Hen as captain....
Not sure what it means but it must mean something....
Anytime I'm like 'oh I'll do this cute little thing for my siblings 😊' forgetting that I have a million siblings so it's no longer a quick cute lil thing, its a task™
Still can't get over the fact that after a year (two?) with the Empire, Scorch makes commander while Boss led one of the top commando squads for three years with the Republic and never got promoted passed sergeant.
doing long diviison for fun will have people asking "what the fuvk is wronw with uou" and well cant a guy havea little numbers. my numbers hobby. a special long division treat for me
It's very satisfying to me when the number of Inklings Challenge participants divides perfectly into equal teams. Any new members had better sign up in groups of three.
//int. scouts headquarters apartment 407 - day. 15th dec

Ash dusted off his hands as he took a step back from their half baked space, map of Manhattan up on a wall while the rest of the once unoccupied apartment was moved around to have a central operations table instead. After Mr Wexley had spoke to the both them, coming together to kick things off was the next logical step. As requested, Ash and Zach had been given a large map, a space to work and plan, and a list of volunteers willing to go outside. "Still can't believe he had a map so ready on hand," he sighed at the new working space infront of him now and looked over to Zach, "think this'll work?"
let's take a moment to be grateful that humanity mostly unanimously decided to use a base-10 number system so it's not like "okay in addition to converting this recipe from japan into imperial/cup units, i also have to convert the numbers from base-8 to base-10"
Now as our dear couples prepare for the display of their combined talents, please do enjoy a lovely little song number from Chiyoda’s very own March Hare, Raiden “Tesla” Otoha!

Hm? Yeah, this song is a love song if you’d call it that, just for the theme of this competition.”
"AI can make art without human interaction because at the end of the day, it does exactly what humans do with art - break each new piece of art down to the quantifiable basis vectors that you've implicitly constructed about 'art in general' and then faithfully reproduce a new observation of that 'art in general' by smoothly interpolating between observed instantiations of those basis vectors.
