Recently I wrote this song after meeting a woman who I helped escape a dangerous and manipulative relationship. I've felt very strongly about protecting the trans women in my life and this is a result of those feelings overflowing this past week.

do you ever just think how we witnessed a whole new genre come into existence (and then die again)? webseries as told via vlogs and transmedia postings, especially the literary inspired ones, were so unique in their way of storytelling. truly influenced by a bunch of people who have shipped their favorite vloggers and were like, what if that, but safer, because it's going to be fictional characters and the shipping is intended? truly influenced by a bunch of queer teens and young adults who started to realize they were allowed to tell their favorite stories in a way that includes them. a genre that figured out its own rules and limitations as it grew. a genre that blurred the lines between creators and fandoms because once you realize that anyone can do it, what's stopping you from giving new life to a thing you already love? we watched this genre from its first clumsy steps, to bold new professionalism. We watched anything from a bunch of college students with zero budget and someone's parents' house, to fully formed productions with financial backing and actors. We watched academic writing emerge on all of this. We watched our favorite shows get attention outside of the small fandom bubbles, win prizes, get into newspapers. and all of it was out there for free, most of it still is, made by some of the most creative people you have ever met, with so much love and passion it's impossible to even measure it. a whole new genre that existed in such a specific window in time, becoming a permanent part of internet history. damn, I'm still emotional over it.

what else can i do? tear my heart out mother please can i have one more kiss?

[theperksofbeingabooknerd]

i present to you concepts for modern vlog-style LIWs that were never done (as far as i know) that absolutely nobody asked for. enjoy

the outsiders: high schoolers ponyboy and cherry (friends but in opposing social groups, the greasers vs the socials) tell the events of the story through their own youtube channels.

rapunzel (but sapphic): rapunzel, a lonely homeschooled teenage girl with strict parents and little contact with the outside world, meets a rebellious girl on the run, who helps her escape and learn about herself and the world.

beauty and the beast (but sapphic): fresh out of high school and excited to leave behind her small, narrow-minded town, izzie documents the start of her college adventures. when her impulsive brother maurice is sucked into an underground campus gambling ring and held hostage at the oldest, most secretive frat house until he can pay off his debts, izzie offers to take his place indefinitely. she meets the cruel, selfish, and hot-headed leader and owner of the house, addie, who has a dark past. unbeknownst to izzie, addie has lost a bet, and must learn to genuinely care about another and get someone to care about her in return.

hansel and gretel: twins hansel and gretel are placed into a new foster home after their deadbeat addict parents abandon them, but their foster mom has secrets of her own.

snow white: basically the webseries version of sydney white.

Propaganda under the cut

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries :

"look this is Thee literary webseries I don't know what to tell you. watching it while it aired was a delight, and rewatching years later still brings me joy. LYDIA BENNET, man"

"A classic among the genre"

Nothing Much To Do :

"it's set in a high school in new zealand, and it does a fantastic job of translating the stakes. bea and ben bicker because they're teenagers who don't know how to handle their feelings. the rest of their friends have to listen to both of them complaining about the other. hero and claudio are that couple who are just so obsessed in love with each other that no one can stand to be around them! and when everything goes wrong, it goes WRONG. also features original songs for this and the follow up series, lovely little losers"

"Genuinely one of my favorite Much Ado adaptations"
