I can't tell you enough how much it means to me that you made this vid! Like, I didn't have a CLUE you were making it and then while I was watching it premiere I couldn't wait to get my phone out to tweet excitedly at you about the silliness and the tentacles! I was thinking in my head 'it's like this vid was MADE FOR ME' and then the title card happened and I was flabbergasted and actually cried. It means a lot to know you've been stewing on this piece of magic for five years <333333
I really love your notes about the goof and the grandeur, and I think the fact that this show was sort of terrible also allowed it space to do things like let Uhura and Chapel save the day for once. Your thoughts on its advancement of progressive ideals are important. It is so awkward and silly and weird and campy!
On the vid party panel, Julie asked me about how it felt when I saw that the dedication was for me, so I had to talk about feelings of friendship and community. I really had been missing you all convention--your snark and your humor and your epic rants are hugely important to my wiscon experience! I said some stuff about how valued it made me feel, that a friend would go to all the trouble and work of creating this offbeat piece of art to premiere at the Vid Party dedicate it to me by name, that it really made me feel like a valued member and part of this community of creators that we're building even though I don't make vids myself. I really appreciate the gift, and was SO delighted by the vid itself.
