For Festivids this year I made "what's to come" for [personal profile] trelkez, a Jesus/Judas vid for the 2018 Jesus Christ Superstar Live performance set to, uh, Tegan and Sara's song "Superstar."

ME, STARING AT MY SONG CHOICE: idk, should I really do this? It feels very unsubtle ...
[personal profile] genarti: You can't be too unsubtle! It's Andrew Lloyd Webber!
ME, ONE WEEK LATER, STARING AT MY DRAFT: idk, should I tone it down a little? It feels very dramatic ...
[personal profile] genarti: You can't be too dramatic! It's Andrew Lloyd Webber!

I'd enjoyed the performance a lot when I saw it, and I thought it would be fun to vid, so I hadn't really thought twice about offering it as a fandom. It was somewhat to my surprise that once I started working on it, I began to feel some kind of way about making this vid as a Jewish person; more and more it became, for me, a vid specifically about some Jewish guys, and the thing they started that got very intense on them very fast.

In related news, [personal profile] feedingonwind and [personal profile] shati both provided absolutely invaluable beta feedback for this vid but [personal profile] shati in particular is the person who talked me out of using 'tfw when your boyfriend starts a cult and then you try and put the brakes on and end up just making a bigger, weirder cult' as my summary on AO3.
