Seeing moss in any context fills me with a deep, primal sense of love and contentment.

Love is stored in the moss…

I want to write an alternative version of Romeo and Juliet where instead of being a little ponce and trying to work things out for himself, Romeo asks his smarter friends what to do about the whole thing and Benvolio and Mercutio come up with the world’s greatest plan:

Marriage of convenience between Juliet and Mercutio.

Think about it.

Juliet’s parents want her to marry into the Prince’s family. Mercutio is a good compromise between no marriage and Paris.

Mercutio probably won’t get his inheritance if he keeps being HELLA FUCKING GAY ALL OVER THE PLACE so a beard is only a benefit to him.

They would probably get along great rolling their eyes at how adorably stupid Romeo is.

Romeo and Benvolio could get a “bachelor pad” right next to Juliet and Mercutio’s house. Every night, Romeo and Mercutio high five as they hop the fence to go bang their one true love.

The second half of the play is just all of them trying to keep up the charade and being “THIS CLOSE” to getting caught all the time. But everything ends nicely because true love conquers all.

Everybody wins. Nobody dies.

Can you imagine Steve Rogers discovering PBS?

The documentaries and science and nature programs.  The nice educational kid’s shows.  Just all of it.  Enjoying the gentle ribbing of his friends about being Mister Rogers.

Then finding out that the government wants to defund PBS.

Deciding to take up another sacred mantle.

Steve Rogers appearing before the Senate wearing a sweater, looking at the Senators with disappointment.

“Years ago another Mister Rogers stood here.  I think it’s a shame I have to stand here now.”

Kiss of Peace: Sts. Perpetua and Felicity

Perpetua and Felicity were early Christians who lived in North Africa (modern day Tunisia) in the third century. Perpetua was a married noblewomen with a young child. Felicity was a pregnant slave. Both were arrested for their faith due to the persecution of Christians, and sentenced to death. Together, they comforted each other in prison as shown by the writings of Perpetua.

The altruistic love the women held for each other was apparent even at the moment of their death. Both martyrs embraced each other in the execution arena, where they were brutally attacked by wild heifer. In their last few breaths, they gave each other the kiss of peace, to demonstrate their love and their love of God. 

Perpetua and Felicity’s love represents the passionate and holy love between women, and thus they are often considered the patron saints of same-sex couples.

wednesday addams makes a friend

okay, but imagine:

wednesday is at the local library with her father, searching the shelves for a book uncle fester told her about dangerous animals in south america. Gomez strikes up a conversation with the elderly librarian mrs. phelps to help wednesday find what they are looking for.

“That one? Or, Mr. Addams - I’m afraid it’s been checked out.”

a squeaky wheel catches wednesday’s attention, and right past her walks a girl with an ENTIRE red-rocket wagon topped full of books. the girl carefully looks over each book and drops them carefully into the book-return

that’s when wednesday sees it - the book she’s been looking for.

wednesday walked slowly up to the girl’s wagon, and touched the cover.

“I just finished that one,” the girl says. wednesday straightens up. “It has a fascinating chapter on the red-bellied piranhas of South America.”

“We’re looking at getting one for Pugsley’s tank,” wednesday says.

“A piranha? It will eat your fish,” she said.

“I’m counting on it.”

“Is Pugsley your fish?”

“My brother.” Wednesday replied.

The girl thought a moment. “You’ll need at least a dozen - they hunt best in schools.”

wednesday just barely smiled, a single corner of her lips turning up. “I’m wednesday addams.” she said, extending a hand.

“Matilda,” the girl replied, shaking her hand. “Matilda Wormwood.”

For my 3D production class I had to create a three shot short that was a remake of an existing movie scene- with muppets. I ran out of time to do the particle water effects, but this is basically Pacific Rim anyway.
