#chloe's crappy video editing

[chloe-of-astora]

My hubris got the better of me and i made a violet evergarden edit...

Link for now because idk if i can post copyrighted stuff here?

[yeahiwasintheshit]

i watched 'Gummo" last tonight and as i was watching it i vaguely remember why i hadnt seen it before, cause a friend back in college said that its "art school garbage", and as someone who helped a lot of film majors on their films and sat thru A LOT of art school garbage while in school, i didnt need to see that lol. all these years later, watching it now, its certainly more than just art school garbage, but ehhhhh not THAT much more. its very of its time, in that it felt very 90s... and not even in terms of what people are wearing... styles of clothes or whatever, but in the look of the film, like the shaky camera, fast editing, cameras it was shot with... like one scene is in 35mm, another its 8mm, another is video or theyre shooting a tv playing a scene... it felt very mtv music video in that way. but it was of its time, so i dont really fault it that much for that.

i do think there is something there, tho, that elevates it to something more interesting than typical crappy art school garbage. before i started watching it, i tried to think of what i did know about it, and all i could think of was the poster, the kid eating spaghetti, the kid with rabbit ears, chloe, and the girl creepily shaving her eyebrows. and even only knowing that, that pretty much kinda sums up the whole movie. gummo is experimental and non-linear with no real plot. its just kind of a bunch of scenes of these mostly young people in this town... not even sure id say its a character study either, cause there are no arcs to any of them really. it really is just scenes of all these very poor people. id say the dialogue is effective and rings true to these people. like it all felt very naturalistic. but just one scene after another. they could have jumbled up the scenes in almost any order and it wouldnt have mattered.

so at the beginning, the narrator comes on and says that this town, xenia, ohio was hit by a tornado where alot of people died many years earlier, and now these people have been surviving in this desolate town. then we meet the 2 protagonists, and theyre almost immediately about to kill a cat. what doesnt work for me is the director, harmony korine, trying to be shocking. like i get trying to establish how fucked up these kids lives are now, and that them killing small animals for money, and sport, is not a big deal to them, that they dont have morals or conscience, but its sort of the way it was shot and constantly going back to a dead cat, like close-ups of it hanging with its tongue out, it just said to me, "oh look at me, im a shocking young director, look at me, look how punk and shocking i can make this movie". its kinda juvenile and.. yes well... kinda art school-ish.

also its kinda exploitative, just to be shocking. like the 2 main kids go to this guys house to pay for sex with, idk if its his sister or who, but they pay him and one by one they go in, and then you discover the girl who is being prostituted out is a girl with down syndrome, and its almost kinda played as a joke, cause they put some homer simpsons shotgun whore make up on this poor girl. idk... it just feltl like a joke and not real to the scene... not that these horrible people in this town wouldnt take advantage of vulnerable people for their own gain, but idk, its the way it was shot, and almost the reveal of the fact that she was someone with disabilities, was a joke or exploitative or something. like i dont think id be opposed to using someone with downs in a scene like this JUST BECAUSE they have downs, but just the way THEY filmed THIS scene or edited or presented did not work for me. all it said was "wow look its downs syndrome girl" and nothing more than that.

what did work is that most of movie felt very real, almost documentary in how it captured these people, and also just how viscerally gross looking everything looked. like really truly disgusting. all these people are wearing rags, and have greasy hair and sweaty faces and the houses are in shambles, some like clearly hoarder houses. the one scene that was prob the grossest for me, (and it wasnt the scene of the kid eating spaghetti in the bathtub, cause eventho i think that scene is synonymous with the movie, the bathtub water was like fake dirty looking or something. it looked like it was colored greenish brown, and it just really didnt feel as real as the rest of the sets in the movie. like as im watching i was thinking did they dye the water with a green brown dye? it was sort of jarring and kinda took me out of the scene a bit.) but actually the one scene that really felt like it was an encapsulation of the whole movie, was (in the gif above) of this little boy, maybe 5-6-7 yrs old and hes barefoot in this disgusting, clearly hoarder house standing on this pile of garbage, and hes next to a wall and jiggles like a painting or framed art on the wall and you just see this one cockroach just scurry out along the wall, but then right next to it is a framed photo of this family all sitting together in like a sears portrait, but the kid grabs the photo off the wall and you just see dozens of cockroaches just all scurrying off into all different directions, and i felt a little queasy. it was kind of the most real scene in the whole movie. the kid then climbs down off the pile and you see the 2 young protagonists on the couch sitting next to a girl and all 3 are huffing glue out of a paper bag, and this young child just crawls into the arms of the girl, and you kinda get the impression shes maybe his mom? all of it is so depressing and gross. then the camera zooms in as the young boy is laying on this girl huffing from the bag, and you see an extreme close up of the boys legs and they are bitten up by bugs. like i dont know if that was makeup or if that was real real, but damn if it didnt really look real, and you felt sad for this kid, kinda sick to your stomach. it was truly maybe the most real and disgusting scene in the whole movie.

for me, that scene of the kid and cockroaches really WAS the whole point of the movie. the mess this house was in was like the aftermath of the tornado, just a complete disaster. the happy photo on the wall was all the families before the tornado, and the roaches scurrying are what was left of these poor people in this town, scared of the light and running around in all directions. idk if harmony korine planned this, but this scene in particular, out of everything seemed to sum up everything the movie was trying to say. it was gross and heartbreaking and you feel bad these people are still living this way so many years after the destruction the tornado left.

the one other kinda complimentary thought i had about how the movie was presented, was i thought the parallel of movie being just a bunch of jumbled scenes of this town that hasnt recovered from the tornado, and the tornado itself being this destructive force that jumbled up the whole town, idk maybe some kind of parallel between those 2 thing kinda worked some. not really a fully put together thought, but something i thought of.

overall it was a compelling watch, i didnt really get bored of these weird people, some scenes may have gone on a little longer than necessary, but for the most part i was always interested in seeing where it was going next. theres some highly uncomfortable scenes, some worked and some didnt. the actors were fine, you can tell some were professional and some the director prob just found, but for the most part no one stuck out as inauthentic to where the movie was set. there was also a lot of shaky cam which a couple times i had to look away cause it was making me feel dizzy. but the movie looked pretty good, naturalistic for the most part, that felt appropriate for the scenes. i never picked up my phone, so i was never bored. not sure if id watch again, but maybe. i didnt love it, i didnt hate it. its kinda hard to say i didnt feel anything for it, cause it was shocking and gross and disgusting in many parts, but it kinda felt like it was shocking for shocking sake, with no real reason other than "look at me i made a shocking movie". worth watching i suppose if something like this sounds like something youd maybe appreciate.

The Ladybug Puppet Show

How to Succeed Thanks to Spite Part 4

Inspiration striked me.

“And then Chat Noir asked my little sisters if they could sign their drawing. He really loved it.”

Alya was telling her friends about her encounter with the heroic duo, and how they had given her their blessings for their video. She had even gone to school with her red shirt with black dots. Nino had a black shirt, and Rose had brought cat ears for him.

“This is embarrassing”

“Nah, you look Pawesome bro” Marinette side-eyed Adrien after that pun.

“We’re filming after class. You’re more than welcome to join us. You can be Hawk Moth”

Adrien almost choked on his drink.

“Sorry, can’t do, I have a photo shoot”

“Really?” Marinette took out her phone and looked at her calendar. There was no scheduled thing, so it meant that Adrien was uncomfortable playing Hawk Moth. Not that she could blame him.

“Besides, Father wouldn’t like me appearing in a video without his approval”

“Your dad is no fun. What about you Girl? Want to join our circus?”

“I’m not good in front of a camera. I don’t think having Hawk Moth interpreted by a girl would be…”

“You’re gonna make Hawk Moth a girl in your video?” asked Juleka. Rose was at her side with hopeful eyes.

“Well, our first choice was Adrien, but since he’s not available… and since we’re making a parody, we might as well go all out. You wanna be Hawk Moth?” Alya eyed Juleka. She was already wearing purple clothes, so she could just use a Butterfly mask and she would be a nice and girly Hawk Moth.

“No, Rose wants to”

“WHAT”

“Well, Hawk Moth uses Butterflies, and I have that butterfly costume from last year’s festival, I could totally be a Butterfly villain!” Rose said, twirling and posing.

The group looked at each other.

“Rose that is… BRILLIANT! Do you think you can get your dress for after classes so we can film it?”

“Yes! I’ll call my mom right away!”

<('-'<) ^('-')^ v('-')v (>'-')>

“This isn’t working!”

Alya was frustrated and exhausted. Turns out, making a voiceover was much much easier than performing the stunts necessary for the video, even if they were just pretending.

Most of the class was with them, including Adrien, whose photo shoot was “cancelled” at the last minute, Ivan, who was reusing his suit from the movie to represent an Akuma. The others were extras or working behind the cameras.

Or at least tried to, as Alya reviewed their video so far; the first cameraman had been Max, who somehow forgot to record their performance. The second had been Kim, who got distracted and started recording a squirrel that somehow got inside the school. The third had been Mylene, who managed to record the whole thing, but was nervous and thus the footage was all shaky. The fourth had been Markov, who had managed to do a decent job, but by that try they all were tired and irritated, so the whole thing had been a waste of time.

“We could try again” said Nino hopeful, but catching his breath from the last stunt. Even with their daily parkour practice, this was still too much. “After we take a break”

“Yes, Ladybug, enjoy your little break, because once it is over, I will have your Miraculous! MWAHAHA” everyone looked at Rose. Despite the Fairy Princess Unicorn Butterfly Star costume, she made a scarily convincing Hawk Moth. “Sorry. Going all evil monologues is fun.”

“You should include more world play tho. Like ‘Enjoy your little break, because once it’s over, I’ll give you a lesson and get your Miraculous’” Now everyone looked at Adrien. Marinette wondered why everyone seemed to be good with evil monologues.

“ANYWAY. It’s useless; we bit more than we could chew.”

“Why don’t we try another approach?”

“Like what?”

“Well, we could edit the videos of Ladybug that you have taken…”

“I doubt we could get a coherent narrative using only fights with Akumas. Even for a Parody”

“Why don’t we make a ‘Top Ten ways the Eiffel Tower has been destroyed’?”

“For the last time Alix, we are not asking Chat Noir to destroy the Eiffel Tower just for footage”

“Spoilsports”

“Why not a web animation? There are tons on the net, and some are actually good”

“Because only Nathaniel and Marinette can draw and only Max and Markov can code, and none of us can animate. Plus, if we do a crappy one That Guy could gloat that we’re nothing without his ‘awesome’ movie.”

“Why not middle point? Not live action, not animation”

“… CGI? That’s even more difficult”

“No, I mean, we can use Marinette’s dolls” everyone looked at Kim as if he was joking, but then they turned to Marinette. “I mean, she already has Ladybug, Chat Noir, and a couple of Akumas. But not Dark Cupid, even though it is the Best Akuma.”

“We are not having that discussion again.” Alya eyerolled. “And the dolls, while awesome, would be difficult to control especially if we go with stop motion”

“Why not puppets?” suggested Max. “They’re a valid form of entertainment and if we make them right we will be able to control their motion in an accurate manner”

“The Muppets are fairly popular and even if we are clumsy, we should be able to make a decent show with them”

“Hmm… That would give us some suspension of disbelief in certain things…”

“Well, I don’t like bragging, but I’m an expert in theatre, and have worked with the Muppets before. They wanted me in the movie, but thought I was too young and casted Amy Addams instead.”

“Wonderful! You should go and ask the company and see if they can help us with some Muppets, or at least some patterns to make them”

“Err.. I…”

“C’mon, don’t be shy, I’m sure Kermit will be glad to help, and the sooner you ask for help, the sooner we can start filming”

“I don’t have their number in my cellphone”

“Oh, don’t worry, go home and call them there if you want”

Lila mumbled something and left. Marinette was annoyed that Alya seemed to still believe the lying liar who lies.

“Ok, now let’s be real. A puppet show is probably the way to go, but the only one who can make them is Marinette, and she is loaded with commission work for Jagged, Clara, Austin Moon and Kitty Section. It would be unfair to ask Marinette to do all that work and for free.”

The members of Kitty Section gulped.  Marinette smiled at her friend reassurance, and the fact they were now playing Lila instead of the other way around. “Well, it’s not a problem, but with my other responsibilities, it would take at least a couple of weeks… a month, even.”

“Can’t you just cut your current dolls legs?”

“I’d cut your legs first. Puppets and dolls are very different things. Even if I reuse the dolls, I still need to design the patterns for a functional puppet. Once I have it I would need to tweak it for the different characters.”

“We can help with the sewing” Offered Juleka. Rose and Mylene nodded. Ivan nodded too. Everyone just looked at him.

“Mom taught me how to knit. It’s relaxing. It’s different from sewing but I can help.”

“I can assist Marinette with the engineering of the puppets” offered Markov. Max nodded.

“We can do the backgrounds” offered Alix, pointing to Nathaniel.

“And Marc, Adrien and you can do the plots and dialogues. Nino can be the director.”

“Yeah, we all can help in one way or another!”

Alya thought of that. A puppet show was a little low brow, but it was for fun and everyone was willing to chip in. Even Lila could probably help if she didn’t lie her way out of it, or got akumatized first.

“We can try that.”

Everyone smiled and cheered for their new group (plus Marc) project.

“Ahem” Chloe cleared her throat. Everyone turned their attention to her. “I couldn’t help hearing…”

“Because you were spying on us”

“… I couldn’t help hearing on purpose that you’re planning a Ladybug show made with puppets.”

“Yeah, so?”

“I want in.”

“Really? You think you can just come in, spy on us and demand to be included in our show? Just like that?”

“I’m paying for all expenses, including material for the puppets and the time Dupain-Cheng spends making them, the props, and anything else you might need. I need to approve of it, though”

“… what would you gain from it?”

“My only demands are: Marinette makes me a Queen Bee doll, Queen Bee gets to be a regular in the show and I voice her”

“You won’t interfere with the plots or try to change dialogues to make you look better?”

“I understand what a parody is, thank you very much, so as long as you don’t single out Queen Bee as a loser or butt monkey, I’ll play the part as written”

Alya thought about it. They doing voluntary work was good, but if Chloe was offering to pay for the puppets and props, it would be even better, Marinette deserved to be paid for her designs, after all.

“Deal” They did a handshake to seal the deal.

-----------------------------------

And that's how Equestria was made. Would Chloe try to take advantage as the producer of the show? Would Alya manage to reign in this chaos? Would Lila try to convince everyone that the Muppets sent her crappy socks with goggly eyes glued to them?

(No, hell no, and yes)

Power of the Internet 4

Summary: I said yes! - Chloe Beale

You can find the first one here. Second here. Third here. 

Hope you enjoy it :D

Beca quietly tiptoed out of their bedroom, closing the door behind her and leaving the sleeping Chloe and Bella to cuddle while she was gone. Her heart pounded in her chest as she walked down the stairs and into the living room, taking a seat on the couch, her sweaty hands holding Chloe’s vlog camera. 

Beca didn’t know a lot about cameras, never having the desire to film anything other than the occasional pictures of the two of them on their dates or with family but never whipping out the devices and spending time editing it to perfection like Chloe did every week.

However, whenever Chloe actually wanted to film herself, she shoved it into Beca’s hands and directed her until the footage was usable. One time, when they first visited the zoo, Chloe bounced over to the eagles sitting on a close branch and Beca proceeded to only capture her feet. After that, Chloe took the time to explain everything she knew about filming and showed how to use her camera.

Pushing the red button to record, Beca bit her lip nervously and her eyes flickered everywhere but at the lenses.

“He-hey guys...I don’t know how to do this. I’ve never done this before so if it turns out shitty...I’m sorry, Chlo. I’m way too nervous to talk to an invisible crowd so I’m just gonna pretend I’m talking to you.” She took a deep breath. “Today is the 14th of June, our fourth year anniversary and I’ve decided to ask you to marry me.” 

Her smile trembled on the edges. “But you have no idea because you’re still in bed sleeping but I stole your camera and I’ll try to film the whole thing because I know you’d like capture the moment. Unless you say no, then you’ll never see this footage ever.” She snorted jokingly but her voice broke slightly before whispering. “God, I hope you say yes.” 

“Remember like a month ago, I had to fly to New York for a day for work? Well, I didn’t quite make it to New York. I ended up at your hometown to ask your parents for permission and thank God they gave us their blessings. Your mom gave me the biggest hug, she almost crushed me.” Beca grinned while shaking her head. She felt so vulnerable expressing her feelings to anybody except Chloe but she didn’t care at this point. She wanted the whole world to know how she felt about her soon-to-be fiance. 

“And I’ll probably never get to call myself a badass ever again after this but Chloe... I am so in love with you. You’re the sweetest, smartest, most beautiful person I’ve ever met and you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me. You’ll always be the sunshine to my rain cloud and I wouldn’t change that for the world.”

“I got a big surprise for you later on. I tried to include all your favorite things and I hope you love it.” Beca’s ear picked up some light footsteps coming down the stairs and her eyes widen. “Uh, I gotta go because you’re awake. But I just wanted to say...Happy Anniversary, baby.” 

“Hey guys! Welcome back to my channel!” Beca imitated Chloe’s high pitched voice whenever she talked to her audience and she smirked when Chloe snorted, getting ready for their date. 

“I do not sound like that. You’re just mean.” The redhead pouted, putting in her earrings and checking if her hair was perfect. To Chloe’s knowledge, they were going to dinner to a restaurant of Beca’s choosing, having no idea that Beca had different plans. 

The brunette was already dressed and ready to go, sat on the edge of their bed idly patting Bella beside her and pointing the recording camera at Chloe. 

“You sound exactly like that.” 

“Since when are you vlogging anyway? You only film when I ask you to.” Chloe commented and turned around. Beca’s snarky remark died in her throat at the vision that was Chloe Beale, standing in front of her with her hands on her hips. Chloe put on her favorite black mini-dress, a black leather jacket over her shoulders and her red hair falling on it in loose curls. She looked stunning.

“Wo-wow. You look - look -” Beca lost the ability to speak apparently but fortunately Chloe got the idea. Smiling sweetly, Chloe leaned down and pecked her lips in gratitude then turned her head to the camera. “How do I look guys? Because Beca can’t quite tell me.” She smirked and dodged the slap coming her way. 

“Okay, we need to go because we’ll miss our reservation. Bye!” Beca handed the camera to Chloe as the redhead carried on talking and they made their way inside the car, shoving Bella back into the house when she wanted to escape. 

As Chloe buckled up her seat belt and set up the camera on the dashboard, Beca’s stomach suddenly started filling up with nerves and her heart beat picked up in speed, realizing she was going to ask the most important question of her life. 

“Alright, are we ready to go? How long is the drive? You haven’t told me anything.” Chloe chatted, busy smoothing down her dress before turning her head to the side and seeing Beca’s paler than usual face. Chloe frowned in concern and placed her hand on Beca’s. 

“Are you okay? Beca, why are you shaking?” Chloe glanced down at the hand she was holding and saw it tremble slightly. Beca mastered on a fake smile, the ring box burning a hole in her pocket. 

“I’m fine. I’m just nervous because...I don’t know if you’re going to like my present for you.” Beca said as she backed out of the driveway and made her way to their destination. 

Chloe smiled sweetly. “As long as you don’t give me a dead animal, I’m sure I’m going to love it.” Chloe joked before sobering up. “Why are you nervous about that? When have I ever not loved any of the gifts that you gave me?”

Beca nodded her head and for moral support intertwined her fingers with Chloe’s. “I know but...this one is special. I just really want you to like it.” 

“I’m sure I will love it, baby.” Chloe assured her and leaned over kissing Beca’s cheek. 

Parking the car in the parking lot, Beca killed the engine and seemingly ignored Chloe’s confused expression. She climbed out of the car and quickly running ran to Chloe’s side, opening up the door and holding out her hand.  

“Beca...” Chloe didn’t move. “Why are we at the park? We can’t take a walk now. You said we’re gonna miss our reservation.” 

“Okay, I lied to you a little bit. We’re not going to a restaurant but I’ll explain everything later. Come on, your surprise is waiting for you.” Beca hurried her along, gently helping her out the car and began leading her to a familiar spot. 

As soon as Chloe’s favorite willow tree came into the view, the redhead clasped a hand over her mouth. 

Beca set up a projector and projection screen under its branches, decorating the tree with Christmas lights and finishing off the look with a blanket and several pillows in front of it. The tree’s long, hanging branches perfectly isolated the outside, making Chloe feel like they were the only people in the world. 

“Oh my God.” Tears filled up in her eyes at the scene and she couldn’t pull Beca fast enough in her arms. “Beca...This is amazing!” 

1. Willow three. Check.

“So you like it?” Beca asked, breathing slightly easier that the first part of the surprise went according to plan. Now onto the scariest part. 

“Are you kidding?” Chloe said, wiping under her eyes as few droplets of tears escaped down her cheek and she released Beca, turning to stare at the scenery. “This looks like something out of a fairy tale. How did you do that? When?” Chloe asked in disbelief as she walked closer to the projector.

2. Something related to Disney. Check.

“I couldn’t just leave you on our anniversary for three hours to set this up and not look suspicious so I asked for a little help from Aubrey and Stacie. While we were getting ready, they put this together. This is the first time I see it too.” 

“I’ll have to thank them later on but most importantly...” She trailed off and cupped Beca’s cheeks in her palms, pulling the brunette close and gently pressing her lips against hers. “Thank you.”

Beca grabbed her by the waist and pulled her in again, her presence calming her down. She inhaled through her nose and broke the kiss. “It’s not over yet.” She whispered. 

Chloe raised an eyebrow but Beca wouldn’t let her speak, simply guiding her to the blanket and motioning her to sit. She jogged to the projector and turned it on, quickly taking her seat behind Chloe, pulling the redhead between her legs and wrapping her arms around her stomach. She buried her face into Chloe’s hair and took a deep breath.

“What are we watching?” Chloe whispered as she snuggled deeper into the embrace. 

“Just wait.” Beca said into her ears and slowly kissed her temple as the video started playing, a girl appearing on screen holding up a white cardboard with today’s date on it. 

Chloe’s eyes filled with tears as each second a different person appeared, quickly realizing these people were her fans and each one of the holding up a sign that read out a message like in Love, Actually. Elvis Costello’s “She” playing in the background.

3. Including the fans somehow. Check.

Dear, Chloe.

I remember the first time I ever laid eyes on you. We were meeting for a coffee and you walked up to me with the biggest smile on your face like we knew each other forever, and you weren’t meeting a stranger. We were so different from each other but somehow we got along. Thank God for that.

Chloe laughed out loud tearfully and continued reading.

I fell in love with you so fast, it scared me. Remember that time I tried to push you away but you kept coming back again and again until I stopped? That’s how I knew you were the one. 

You make me smile and laugh everyday. And even when I’m in a crappy mood, you still love me. You’re the most amazing, intelligent, energetic, beautiful person I’ve ever met. You are the best thing that’s ever happened to me and I don’t ever want to be without you. 

I asked our fans to help me out with this montage because I know how much you love them. Happy Anniversary. 

And Beca appeared on the screen holding up the last sign. 

I love you.

And that’s when Chloe lost it. Sobbing into Beca’s shoulder, the brunette tightened her hold on the redhead, continuously kissing the top of her head. She let Chloe calm down slightly before gently cupping her cheeks and pulling her head back, looking deep into her ocean blue eyes she loved so much. 

 “Wh - How?“ 

“Shh.” Beca said before pulling her up from the ground. 

“Beca...” Chloe tried protesting and kept trying to keep her down and hold her but Beca wouldn’t let her. 

Standing under the moonlight in the middle of their make-shift heaven, Beca clenched Chloe’s hands in hers as her eyes watered. 

“We were doing a Q&A on your channel when - when we first kissed and confessed our feelings for each other. Do you remember?”  

Chloe nodded her head shakily, tears running down her cheeks constantly. 

“Last time you were the one who kept asking the questions but now it’s my turn.” Beca continued then got down on one knee, with one hand pulling out the ring box from her pocket and opening it, while the other tightly grasped Chloe’s. 

Chloe hand covered her mouth as she squeezed her eyes shut. She couldn’t believe this was happening. 

“Chloe Beale, will you marry me?” 

Her knees wobbled as Chloe nodded frantically. “Yes! Yes!” 

Beca let go of the breath she had been holding all day it felt like and jumped to her feet, embracing Chloe tightly and lifting her off the ground, spinning her around while they both laughed tearfully. 

And Beca kissed her like her life depended on it and to her, it did.

Let’s talk about that screen in the room

I wanted to post a beauty video today but I suddenly got the inspiration to talk about TV. Little known fact to many of you, I am a huge couch potato. I can spend hours and hours in front of the TV - from the minute I wake up to the minute I go to sleep. 

However, I am also a Singaporean. That means I multi task while watching TV - doing work, editing posts, etc. At the same time, I still can’t figure out why I can’t connect with others over the show I watch. 

I thought about it and realized there’s two reasons behind this: 

I watch non-mainstreams American shows which people in Singapore would not tend to watch

I mainly watch shows which are convenient - shows which are on starhub tv. I tend to not ‘follow up’ with the shows after they were off the network because I simply HAVE to multi task and I like camping in my living room.

Anyways, so here is the extensive list of shows I watch. As much as I could recall that is. They will be categories according to their genres. 

Action Drama 

Grey’s Anatomy | Scandal | The Catch

One of the best drama shows I watched are written by Shonda Rhimes. From Grey’s Anatomy to Scandal to The Catch, I watch them all. there’s just a hook to it that I can’t explain. It’s just amazing 

Teen Wolf

Supernatural creatures, hot guys, blood, six pacs, story line, Dylan O’Brien, beautiful ladies, great action, like what else do you want? 

White Collar 

For those of you who love The Catch, you would love White collar. Or should I say for those of you who love white collar you would love The Catch cause White collar came out first. Anyways the plot of these 2 are similar just that there’s handsome and hot Matt Bomer in white collar and his blue eyes are so dreamy .. what are we talking about again? 

Yeah, criminal trying to get out of doing jail time by joining the FBI and working cases for them but really, a leopard can’t change it’s spot can they?

Horror

Personally, I don’t really watch horror like ghosts or gore eg. Saw because No.

But American Horror Story is just different. It’s weird, it’s dark there’s a story line, there’s charming matt bomer and lady gaga. I don’t know why but it attracts me. 

You should see him in white collar - so hot - see below

*Faints*

Family Drama

Glee

I know this is not really ‘family drama’ but it was really hot during the days and I like music. It’s more of the high school days, where all kind of people are dumped together and we’re expected to get along - but we really don’t.

Parenthood

This is a very touching show for you can literally see them grow up, getting married, parents growing old, next generation being born and so on. It’s them living a normal life, facing everyday problems we face, which is so heartwarming. It really reminds us that “We are too busy growing up that we forget that our parents are growing old.” A comic of the same theme is “For the better, For the worst.” Touching. 

Comedy

2 Broke Girls | Modern Family 

When life becomes epic, you should make it into a TV show. What I like about modern family and 2 broke girls are their snarky humour. 

Family Guy | American Dad | The Cleveland Show | The Simpsons

Family Guy is my favourite. They are not afraid to go the length, to talk about (sometimes insult) different cultures, shows and people. Makinig it both sacarstic and funny. American Dad and The Cleveland Show does have the same concept as family guy but family guy is still king. 

Whereas for The Simpsons, I felt that the humor and the poking at people’s button are still quick subtle so there’s not much of an impact. 

Reality TV

Married at First Sight 

This show literally is it’s title. They had experts evaluate these people and match them according to their personalities and background. Matchmaking. Then they live together as a married couple for 6 weeks. After 6 weeks they decide if they want to continue their marriage or divorce. Then, they will check in 6 months later to see if there’s any changes in the married couples and singles.    

The first season was nice with 2 couples out of 3 continuing their arranged marriage - one of the couple is expecting a baby now! However, the following seasons doesn’t seem to have much happy endings after 6 weeks which is such a waste for some of them. 

Seven Years Switch 

This is where couples whom are married or just together for a very long time try out switch therapy for they have been having troubles in their relationships. So they were 

Are you the one?

This is a mtv drama series. 10 male and 10 females were put n a mansion and they are supposed to find their perfect match to win alot of money. Like other MTV series (Jersey Shore), it’s dramatic. Season 1 is cool cause they got perfect matches and a pair even got married and having their second child now. 

However, the seasons thereafter, is not as exciting though :/

Dance Moms

Well, for those of you don’t know who Maddie Ziegler is, you need to get out more and view this:

Yes, she’s that dancer for SIA. A little back story, she’s on dance mom, in Abby Lee’s dance studio practicing for years on how to be a dancer before she made it. Along with the other dancers, Nia Sioux, Chloe Lukasiak (left in the earlier seasons), JoJo Siwa, Kalani Hilliker, Kendall Vertes, Mackenzie Ziegler (Maddie’s little sister), Brooke Hyland (left in the early season, the mother was actually Abby’s mother student), Paige Hyland (left in the early season and mother sue the school).

Anyways, the point is if you like screaming mothers, emotional situations and just drama in general, this is the show to watch. You can see how Abby is very bias towards Maddie - which leads to her success - and eventually Mackenzie too because of how their mother treat Abby. Although Abby seemed nuts on TV, she’s actually really cool on social media which is what I would like to call, TV magic. 

The Extremes 

Extreme Couponing | Extreme Cheapskate

If only extreme couponing is in Singapore, I would be busy couponing now instead of blogging. It’s really cool to see how people go to the extremes. I feel that extreme cheapskates is too far off the rear end for nobody should eat dumpster food. It’s just hygienic. 

Extreme Time Cheaters

Recently, there’s a new show where people are saving time to the extreme. I would say that these people will fit in to Singapore/Hong Kong’s culture like a glove but they need to stop exaggerating it. On this show there’s this guy which count his steps to ensure he save time but technically he is wasting more time counting steps. 

Animal shows

Cats 101 | Dogs 101

These shows, remind me why I am human. Not only I get to see cute animals and be happy, I get to learn about the different types of cuties there is too. 

My Cat from Hell

Cats are assholes. We all know that. This show have the same concept as Ceasar the dog training show but for cats. I don’t know it’s because I have a sudden interest in cats but I feel that just by watching this show, I learned so much.

Travel show

Watching shows are one way of ‘travelling’ without leaving your couch. Plus, you get to 'go to’ places which you know you never would travel to because of various reasons.

Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations | The Layover | Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown

I like how Anthony present things. You can tell he is the no BS kind of people and just say things to your face. Plus I love the parts unknown one where he goes to Lebanon and just talk to the locals, have them share their situation. It’s like a peak in their world, their culture. To understand to learn. 

Plus, the videography for the show is great. 

An Idiot Abroad 

This is basically a travel show where the producers force their unwilling friend, Karl Pilkington to go out of he’s comfort zone, travel the world and do crazy things like bungee etc. What’s funny is him being so sarcastic and opposing to these activities. Plus he makes a lot of sense. One of the most memorable quote which I remember from the show is when he was in a cave looking out at this beautiful palace - Petra Jordan - and he was like:

“ I'd rather live in a hole with a view of a palace than live in a palace with a view of a hole."

He added that in life, it’s better to be ugly looking at good looking people than to be good looking and looking at ugly people. You can view that short clip here: 

Food Source食在好源头

Pornsak is a very entertaining host. Positive and interesting. Plus there’s food.

I tend to watch random chinese travel shows because in a way I’m building up my Chinese - for education via school fail me and they seemed more interesting. 

House viewing 

I don’t know if it’s because of age or what but I have been binge watching house viewing shows recently. 

Charlie Luxton Homes by the Sea | Charlie Luxton Homes by the Med

I love Charlie Luxton’s voice. It’s so calming. Plus all of his shows just makes you go “Wow” you never knew a house could look like that. I never knew a house could turn like that. It is truly incredible. If you love drone shots, you would love this show. 

Tiny House Hunting | Tiny House | Waterfront house hunting 

HDBs are getting smaller and smaller. So are houses in the states. Tiny house are the way to go. These are get ways to get inspirations on how to store your furniture. Whereas for waterfront house hunting, I guess, it’s for the rich but it’s nice to see though. 

Survival Shows

Naked and Afraid 

Before naked and afraid, there was bear grylls. My mother was obsessed with survival shows so I was force to watch them as well. Now that bear grylls got tired of drinking snake blood, his pee and slimy worms, there’s new shows which were inspired by his braveness. Naked and afraid is one of them. Where survivalists tries to survive nude in the forests / island for as long as possible. 

This list is honestly a little short for what I actually watch. However, I don’t remember all of the shows I watch and some of the show I watch are too crappy to be named. Aside from this, I also watch anime and Chinese shows too but this list is getting too long for a post. So I shall stop here.

Ladybug Puppet Show 4

I totally forgot to upload part 4!

-

“And then Chat Noir asked my little sisters if they could sign their drawing. He really loved it.”

Alya was telling her friends about her encounter with the heroic duo, and how they had given her their blessings for their video. She had even gone to school with her red shirt with black dots. Nino had a black shirt, and Rose had brought cat ears for him.

“This is embarrassing”

“Nah, you look Pawesome bro” Marinette side-eyed Adrien after that pun.

“We’re filming after class. You’re more than welcome to join us. You can be Hawk Moth”

Adrien almost choked on his drink.

“Sorry, can’t do, I have a photo shoot”

“Really?” Marinette took out her phone and looked at her calendar. There was no scheduled thing, so it meant that Adrien was uncomfortable playing Hawk Moth. Not that she could blame him.

“Besides, Father wouldn’t like me appearing in a video without his approval”

“Your dad is no fun. What about you Girl? Want to join our circus?”

“I’m not good in front of a camera. I don’t think having Hawk Moth interpreted by a girl would be…”

“You’re gonna make Hawk Moth a girl in your video?” asked Juleka. Rose was at her side with hopeful eyes.

“Well, our first choice was Adrien, but since he’s not available… and since we’re making a parody, we might as well go all out. You wanna be Hawk Moth?” Alya eyed Juleka. She was already wearing purple clothes, so she could just use a Butterfly mask and she would be a nice and girly Hawk Moth.

“No, Rose wants to”

“WHAT”

“Well, Hawk Moth uses Butterflies, and I have that butterfly costume from last year’s festival, I could totally be a Butterfly villain!” Rose said, twirling and posing.

The group looked at each other.

“Rose that is… BRILLIANT! Do you think you can get your dress for after classes so we can film it?”

“Yes! I’ll call my mom right away!”

<('-'<) ^('-')^ v('-')v (>'-')>

“This isn’t working!”

Alya was frustrated and exhausted. Turns out, making a voiceover was much much easier than performing the stunts necessary for the video, even if they were just pretending.

Most of the class was with them, including Adrien, whose photo shoot was “cancelled” at the last minute, Ivan, who was reusing his suit from the movie to represent an Akuma. The others were extras or working behind the cameras.

Or at least tried to, as Alya reviewed their video so far; the first cameraman had been Max, who somehow forgot to record their performance. The second had been Kim, who got distracted and started recording a squirrel that somehow got inside the school. The third had been Mylene, who managed to record the whole thing, but was nervous and thus the footage was all shaky. The fourth had been Markov, who had managed to do a decent job, but by that try they all were tired and irritated, so the whole thing had been a waste of time.

“We could try again” said Nino hopeful, but catching his breath from the last stunt. Even with their daily parkour practice, this was still too much. “After we take a break”

“Yes, Ladybug, enjoy your little break, because once it is over, I will have your Miraculous! MWAHAHA” everyone looked at Rose. Despite the Fairy Princess Unicorn Butterfly Star costume, she made a scarily convincing Hawk Moth. “Sorry. Going all evil monologues is fun.”

“You should include more world play tho. Like ‘Enjoy your little break, because once it’s over, I’ll give you a lesson and get your Miraculous’” Now everyone looked at Adrien. Marinette wondered why everyone seemed to be good with evil monologues.

“ANYWAY. It’s useless; we bit more than we could chew.”

“Why don’t we try another approach?”

“Like what?”

“Well, we could edit the videos of Ladybug that you have taken…”

“I doubt we could get a coherent narrative using only fights with Akumas. Even for a Parody”

“Why don’t we make a ‘Top Ten ways the Eiffel Tower has been destroyed’?”

“For the last time Alix, we are not asking Chat Noir to destroy the Eiffel Tower just for footage”

“Spoilsports”

“Why not a web animation? There are tons on the net, and some are actually good”

“Because only Nathaniel and Marinette can draw and only Max and Markov can code, and none of us can animate. Plus, if we do a crappy one That Guy could gloat that we’re nothing without his ‘awesome’ movie.”

“Why not middle point? Not live action, not animation”

“… CGI? That’s even more difficult”

“No, I mean, we can use Marinette’s dolls” everyone looked at Kim as if he was joking, but then they turned to Marinette. “I mean, she already has Ladybug, Chat Noir, and a couple of Akumas. But not Dark Cupid, even though it is the Best Akuma.”

“We are not having that discussion again.” Alya eyerolled. “And the dolls, while awesome, would be difficult to control especially if we go with stop motion”

“Why not puppets?” suggested Max. “They’re a valid form of entertainment and if we make them right we will be able to control their motion in an accurate manner”

“The Muppets are fairly popular and even if we are clumsy, we should be able to make a decent show with them”

“Hmm… That would give us some suspension of disbelief in certain things…”

“Well, I don’t like bragging, but I’m an expert in theatre, and have worked with the Muppets before. They wanted me in the movie, but thought I was too young and casted Amy Addams instead.”

“Wonderful! You should go and ask the company and see if they can help us with some Muppets, or at least some patterns to make them”

“Err.. I…”

“C’mon, don’t be shy, I’m sure Kermit will be glad to help, and the sooner you ask for help, the sooner we can start filming”

“I don’t have their number in my cellphone”

“Oh, don’t worry, go home and call them there if you want”

Lila mumbled something and left. Marinette was annoyed that Alya seemed to still believe the lying liar who lies.

“Ok, now let’s be real. A puppet show is probably the way to go, but the only one who can make them is Marinette, and she is loaded with commission work for Jagged, Clara, Austin Moon and Kitty Section. It would be unfair to ask Marinette to do all that work and for free.”

The members of Kitty Section gulped.  Marinette smiled at her friend reassurance, and the fact they were now playing Lila instead of the other way around. “Well, it’s not a problem, but with my other responsibilities, it would take at least a couple of weeks… a month, even.”

“Can’t you just cut your current dolls legs?”

“I’d cut your legs first. Puppets and dolls are very different things. Even if I reuse the dolls, I still need to design the patterns for a functional puppet. Once I have it I would need to tweak it for the different characters.”

“We can help with the sewing” Offered Juleka. Rose and Mylene nodded. Ivan nodded too. Everyone just looked at him.

“Mom taught me how to knit. It’s relaxing. It’s different from sewing but I can help.”

“I can assist Marinette with the engineering of the puppets” offered Markov. Max nodded.

“We can do the backgrounds” offered Alix, pointing to Nathaniel.

“And Marc, Adrien and you can do the plots and dialogues. Nino can be the director.”

“Yeah, we all can help in one way or another!”

Alya thought of that. A puppet show was a little low brow, but it was for fun and everyone was willing to chip in. Even Lila could probably help if she didn’t lie her way out of it, or got akumatized first.

“We can try that.”

Everyone smiled and cheered for their new group (plus Marc) project.

“Ahem” Chloe cleared her throat. Everyone turned their attention to her. “I couldn’t help hearing…”

“Because you were spying on us”

“… I couldn’t help hearing on purpose that you’re planning a Ladybug show made with puppets.”

“Yeah, so?”

“I want in.”

“Really? You think you can just come in, spy on us and demand to be included in our show? Just like that?”

“I’m paying for all expenses, including material for the puppets and the time Dupain-Cheng spends making them, the props, and anything else you might need. I need to approve of it, though”

“… what would you gain from it?”

“My only demands are: Marinette makes me a Queen Bee doll, Queen Bee gets to be a regular in the show and I voice her”

“You won’t interfere with the plots or try to change dialogues to make you look better?”

“I understand what a parody is, thank you very much, so as long as you don’t single out Queen Bee as a loser or butt monkey, I’ll play the part as written”

Alya thought about it. They doing voluntary work was good, but if Chloe was offering to pay for the puppets and props, it would be even better, Marinette deserved to be paid for her designs, after all.

“Deal” They did a handshake to seal the deal.
