Obviously this is an adorable bit but I’m so struck by how different this is from so many little kid shows today like…….the muted colors. no background noise. no sound effects. you can literally hear Jim Henson breathing between his lines. Ernie is talking very slowly, meandering, letting the kids digest the info. it’s a full minute before you get the payoff of it all. man
I’m in love with the stupid baby puppet I want to see her grow up strong and healthy
“everyone is going to hate it” someone will love it. someone will reach out to you and tell you it changed their life. someone will hold it close and treasure it forever in a way you can’t even understand. keep going
i love it when characters are codependent. i love it when losing someone feels like losing a limb. i love it when two people “complete” each other so wholly and terribly that one can barely function without the other. i love it when the fear of losing the only person who understands them is so all-consuming they’ll destroy anything to stay together, including themselves.
telling creatives they owe it to the betterment of society to only write positive and uplifting content is the artistic equivalent of telling random women to smile and then saying “I’m just trying to make people happy!” when called on it
I respect an “I can fix him” villainfucker 50x more than a “he didn’t do anything wrong, he’s just misunderstood!” villainfucker. like yeah they both get the cute domestic happily ever after, but man the first guy has depth they have nuance and most importantly they are actually aware they’re a villainfucker
but the guy i respect MOST is the unapologetic villainfucker. “yeah he did that shit and it was sexy” fuckers. “was the wanton murder fun babe it looked fun” fuckers. these guys know where it’s at
unfortunately i myself fall in none of the above categories. i’m an antihero fucker. i’m a “he did that shit and it was pretty hot but we’re both a little messed up about it” fucker. a “that was a lot of murder babe are you okay? i know it needed to be done but i can see it weighs on you, let me clean the blood off of you slowly and with lingering glances” fucker
