on the note of kith season 6 (didn't want to derail the other post but have been thinking about this lately): one of the only things i disliked - or, rather, that felt off about the revival - was how crisp everything felt in terms of the aesthetic. like ik filmmaking technology has evolved since 1994 and they couldn't do the live studio audience even tho they wanted to bc of covid, but idk the original series despite clearly working with cbc and hbo always had this diy energy, vs the new season just very much felt like oh this is a corporate thing that was location scouted and filmed on a lot

but what's interesting about this fault is that you look into anything else the kids in the hall have made themselves in the past decades and it still has that exact diy aesthetic, sometimes unintentionally but that's the best part. like, i'm the most familiar with scott's works for obvious reasons, but you look at something like contemporary mouth congress music videos or any other video project scott's made just bc he wanted to make it and you can see obvious green screens, the fact that it was clearly filmed on an iPhone, using stuff around the house as props, etc. and if you look at bruce's youtube channel you get that sense as well, and it's so delightful to see bc yeah this comedy isn't a corporate entity, it's just something these guys have to make bc they are passionate about it

anyway i guess what i'm saying is if they ever decide to do another kith revival season they should have paul bellini direct it on his iphone 5 and film 99% of it at the toronto library's green screen room

idk maybe this post is too niche bc a lot of the stuff i'm citing (i.e. mouth congress music videos) hasn't actually been released yet and also i have literally been on these diy sets in the past year where someone just set up a pop-up greenscreen in their living room and my "job" is to make sure the pets don't wander into frame. but yeah idk i find it very funny that watching the revival my only complaint was the lack of that genuine diy spirit and then one year later i'm part of that type of production

@thefreakandthehair and i were talking about how so many of the fics we can name off the top of our heads are from right after the show came out because we were still actively making rec lists back then, so:

in no particular order i present to you an incomplete list of fics i love that were published or completed within the last two months

short fics (<10k)

Found God In A Tomato by @beetlesandstarss 5.7k | rated M | fluff, text fic

syrupy sweet strangers to first date fic. without spoiling anything, eddie is a flustered cutie and steve is a fuckin' menace who's lucky he's so hot

he tightened he grip by @steddieas-shegoes 1.3k | rated E | crack not treated remotely seriously

Mickala beloved your commitment to the bit makes me wanna commit myself to you 💍

Slide It In by gayhandshake 1.8k | rated E | multimedia crack

another truly impeccable work of crack fic, i laughed so hard at the first image that i made it the icon for my private discord server

what's that sound? (there's a funny man at my door) by @jewishrat420 4.8k | rated M | spicy six text fic

laughed out loud at this fic so many times i really don't know what else to tell you. as a matter of fact, i went to look at my bookmark note to see what else i had to say about it when i read it, and my note just says "fucking hilarious i laughed out loud like 6 times" 💀 did not do not will never know what else to tell you except that the phrase "the goyim of gender" just randomly pops into my brain once every four or so days now

medium fics (10-20k)

In the Kitchen or the Tulips by @teddywesworl 44k | rated E | telepathic soulmate AU

this fic said "watch me flip this trope inside out like a freshly cubed half of an avocado" and then DELIVERED. i finished this fic and then stared at the side of my husband's head for long enough that he looked over and went "wtf are you doing" lmao hush baby i am contemplating the implications

they're going to send us to prison for jerks by @greatunironic 16k | rated E | social media AU

okay firstly the premise of this fic is so specifically and delightfully unhinged; love that i'm not the only one who looks at a random tiktok account and manically whispers to myself "there's a fic in there somewhere." secondly the execution is a 10 outta 10 outta 10 outta TEN

long fics (50k+)

Sneaky Link by @morningberriesao3 152k | rated E | onlyfans au

🇺🇸 Let's embark on a journey through the captivating history and unique features of the Commodore Amiga 1000—a groundbreaking computer that left an indelible mark on the world of computing.

💾 Introduced in 1985, the Commodore Amiga 1000 heralded a new era of multimedia computing, boasting advanced graphics and audio capabilities ahead of its time. It quickly became a favorite among creative professionals and gaming enthusiasts.

💻 Designed by Jay Miner and his team, the Amiga 1000 featured revolutionary architecture with custom chips for graphics and sound, offering unprecedented performance. Powered by a 7.14 MHz Motorola 68000 CPU, it also ran the unique AmigaOS, renowned for its multitasking capabilities and graphical user interface.

🐕‍🦺 The Amiga 1000's case design was inspired by a lunchbox, giving it a distinctive, compact form. Notably, it's the only model featuring the short-lived Amiga check-mark logo. The case's interior even bears the engraved signatures of the Amiga designers, including Jay Miner and his dog Mitchy's paw print.

🎮 Standout features included the ability to display up to 4096 colors and play stereo sound—unmatched by other personal computers of its time. The Amiga 1000 left a lasting impact, influencing digital art, animation, and video editing industries.

🕹️ A powerhouse for multimedia production, the Amiga 1000 enabled creative exploration for artists, musicians, and video creators. It was also a gaming pioneer, with iconic titles like "Defender of the Crown" and "Lemmings" showcasing its graphical prowess.

🎨 In the summer of 1985, Andy Warhol received his first Amiga 1000 home computer from Commodore International and became an enthusiastic brand ambassador. He famously created digital artworks, including a portrait of Debbie Harry using ProPaint software onstage at Lincoln Center, demonstrating the Amiga's capabilities to a live audience.

🌟 Today, the Commodore Amiga 1000 remains a beloved classic among retro computing enthusiasts, embodying the spirit of innovation and creativity of the 1980s computing era. Let's celebrate this iconic piece of computing history!

patrick didn’t let most people know at stanford he had a sister.

and for the most part, people didn’t make the connection that 19-year-old adina rachel, the multimedia artist and fashion designer, was american tennis icon patrick zweig’s kid sister.

adina was the polar opposite of patrick. she embraced her new england-ness. she stayed in new york, lived in the city, attended NYU. she was quiet, analytical. she always looked like she was planning her next steps, the steps to take her enemies down. she was like if charlotte york was jewish and actually made art instead of dealing it.

but patrick loved adina. she was outspoken, had things she cared about. things that weren’t stupid, like tennis. adina’s greenwich village apartment was filled with posters and unfinished paintings, scraps of fabric littering the floor. anyone who knew adina’s background on a surface level would accuse her of cosplaying a broke, greenwich village artist. her parents were the fucking zweigs, they could pay for shit, right?

kind of. when adina said she wanted to go to NYU, her parents didn’t have a problem. when she said it was for art, they got worried. their daughter was talented, but she was very passionate. her mother thought that passion could work better somewhere else, as a politician, or teacher. something with a good paycheck. but george zweig remembered the woman he married: that woman was a gloria steinem reading, bra burning feminist who almost went to bryn mawr or wellesley. george knew the reason dina zweig didn’t like her daughters choice of career is because it mirrored her youth. she was afraid of her daughter getting her hopes up, following her passions, and getting hurt when they don’t work out the way she expects.

so they worked out a deal of sorts: her parents would pay for her apartment and basic necessities. school was her job to pay for. and luckily for adina, she got scholarships and grants to help pay for school, and she worked a part time job at a bookstore for extra pocket cash. sure, she was a rich kid. but she wasn’t spoiled. far from it.

and dina zweig, a high school english teacher, did secretly love telling her students who asked that the insane artwork in her classroom was made by her precious daughter.

george had some in his office, too.

patrick was the luckiest out of all though. when he got accepted to stanford (even though no one expected him to get denied), adina made him a one-of-a-kind piece. stanford’s most iconic buildings, hand drawn in pen and colored in with water color, with every single newspaper article mentioning patrick’s tennis achievements pasted in the sky above. it was incredibly detailed.

it made him cry when he opened it.

and it hangs above his desk now, a constant reminder of his talented as fuck kid sister and how much he misses her.

they facetime every week. and patrick invites her to fly out, to visit him. and she does, at one point, to watch him compete in the southern california collegiate speech and debate tournament. and it was worth the trip, because stanford won both the two-on-two and one-on-one debates.

there’s a picture frame on patrick’s desk. in it is a picture of him and adina at that competition. adina standing at a mere 5’3”, patrick at 6’1”. and despite their differences in wardrobe, and height, one look at their faces and you can tell.

they are, and always will be, zweig kids.

adina rachel (pronounced ra-shel) zweig

I find the use of anakin as like, the uncontested biggest star wars kids-media protagonist + toy-seller to be really fascinating from a media culture perspective because not only is it kind of insane for the bulk of a franchise’s multimedia projects for 4-12 year olds to center such a completely doomed, very classic tragedy protagonist (especially one whose biggest hits include a childhood of slavery at threat of head explosion, war crimes, killing a bunch of children the viewers’ age, and operatic downfall and corruption into arguably the most iconic villain of the 20th and 21st century) but it also tells me that lucasfilm in the prequels era actually understood what many children that age enjoyed to imagine and read and engage with. Like Anakin Skywalker is literally the spiritual media manifestation of the crazy blood sacrifice dead sibling Oliver Twist backstories I used to give my Barbies when I was like 7
