I've been spending a lot of time listening to Bo Burnham songs and going "DAMN, this sounds like it was specifically written about Jerry" (mainly about songs like goodbye and art is death) as of late.
The thought has been plaguing me for a while now so I decided to share svsvsjk.
Heh so… I see you’ve got a case of “I see them everywhere” syndrome just like me lmao
To be serious tho I love Bo Burnham. You’re right that a lot of his songs work for Jerry- “Comedy” is a big one and “Look Who’s Inside Again” (my fav song on the album) makes me think of Dean in the lead up to the split not knowing how to be on his own UGHh ALSO- “Goodbye” is literally the breakup/Jerry at Dean’s funeral and I’ll cry.
I had big ideas when I started this- but classes are crazy so sharing what I have (from months ago) seemed better than nothing since I’ve taken ages with this already (im real sorry bout that btw)
It’s really disjointed bc the unfinished sections ;-; but I wanted to try smth low pressure/different. Compiling the clips my reaction was “god this is depressing as hell” bc it reminds me of the vent art I made way back lol… sad Jerry stuff and all.
I love to hear what songs get people thinking about things. Musical connections are cool + Getting fun stuff in my inbox and the chance to blab always cheers me up ^^ thanks for sharing!
On today’s episode of “yeah maybe I am crazy” here are some rough throw away tests from a scratched Old Hollywood dating sim idea
A lil M+L animatic | Coffee by Chappell Roan
Based on @etwlemons ask
Pardon me while I find a hole to stick my head in
Ev’ry street’s a boulevard in ol’ NYC
More people should ask me for recs so I can make silly little themed personalized playlists for them- not bc I have good taste but bc it would make me really happy to blabber about music
Do you ever just rotate JL in your mind… I do…
Switching it up with some Sinatra & Kelly bc I told myself I need variety then proceeded to branch out no farther than a different 40s Hollywood duo
Watching these two live at the Copa must’ve been something special. I wish there was more footage of their nightclub performances out there. It seems like both of them were so much more relaxed and in their element but I feel like I’ve only ever come across video of two or three different shows.
One day I’ll make the M+L Copacabana animatic that’s been knocking around in my brain for months… oh one day the things I’ll do.
Quick sketch of Fred + Ginger I did on the train ride home
Since if you accept ideas to draw here goes my idea, well it's not so mine, but the thing is that I've been asked to write a fic about Dean and Jerry with the theme of Romeo and Juliet, that question of impossible love, a curious comparison that I've seen a lot in this "fandom"
And well, if it's not too much of a hassle, I'd love to see some of your drawing about them under this "AU" or "theme"
Eh I love drawing prompts! It takes me time but it’s no hassle. Your ask was pretty open to interpretation so here’s a 2 for 1: a literal R+J AU and a broader take on your theme.
Conceptual illustrations aren’t my strong suit. They usually turn out a bit too stiff and stupid but here’s the second section:
I think one reason why R+J works with M+L is the element of tension: Two people are pulled apart by external/internal forces and ultimately find their own unorthodox method of staying together
I appreciate writers in dead(ish) fandoms that are still at it. I tend to have mixed feelings about fanfic, but the creative effort you guys put in deserves some recognition.
I was gonna ask where I could read your fic but I may have already stumbled upon it- either that or it just so happens an entirely different person is also writing a R+J/M+L fic- But ANYWAYS…
Hope one of these fits what you were looking for and Good luck writing!
Me: Wanna watch a movie?
Mom: A movie? With Dean Martin or Jerry Lewis?
Me: …or both at the same time…
