Art Crawl!!!

bon bon - congratulations!!

I got my printer to work. It was supposedly dead, but apparently, if I turn it off completely over night, it will work the next day.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Awesome, bon bon, congratulations!

I think it's perfectly plausible that the chick did it. I mean, lonelygirl assertions aside, there are some extremely talented vidmakers on the net that are self trained.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I think it's possible that the chick did the video. It's the internet. I found some other chick who'd spent ten months making chainmail for her Aunty Entity costume

Except that it's the new Fatboy Slim song that's just been released. It looks more like an official video to me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The Fatboy Slim video looked too professional (and expensive) to be done by some woman on the Internet. I think she's just a framing device, not a real person.

Probably. Or else she just happened to have all those kittens and sets that she used for other kitten-related video activities.

And yeah, the special effects for the stoned kitties were pretty good. Could an amatuer do that on a Mac?

I did not know you were a big U2 fan.

U-2 iPod for bon bon!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, it should be simple enough to work out if the contest really happened, right? And if they did have a contest and had a ringer win, that's bad juju.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Could an amatuer do that on a Mac?

Yeah, pretty easily.

(Finally got it to load, and I'M AT WORK which means no sound. Curses!)

The sets & props are a little suspiciously thorough.

More info:

The video for The Joker is, as you’d expect for Fatboy Slim, very special indeed. Jon Watts returns after the success of his Wonderful Night video to direct hundreds of kittens in a rights of passage tale…it has to be seen to be believed.

I totally made that assumption too.
