❝She said, let me die.❞
[HD + earphones]
So...hi. Life, (extremely uncreative) work and general exhaustion/unease towards social networks and media oversaturation happened, but this channel is still a thing, looks like; as lethargic and not at all keeping up with trends as ever, as you can see, but it still is.
I fully blame Josh Hartnett starring in Oppenheimer and me unexpectedly seeing him in it after a long while towards the end of summer for sparking a rewatch of one of my absolute favourite shows of all time. Which also happens to be perfectly themed for spooky season!
Imo, Penny Dreadful is still one of a kind today. I haven't yet been able to find another show so introspectively poetic, all hinging on character and the analysis of the soul (the moody Victorian atmosphere and the supernatural only an excuse for it) coupled with the most gorgeous photography and the exceptional acting from the entire cast. It was a work of art. I used to mull over it mostly by myself and not watch that many videos about it back when it aired (mostly those by a few wonderfully talented friends, like lovely Caliban/John Clare expert @xLalla23x and others), but these characters and stories never left me and I still love them all to bits. I even find I understand and relate to some of them more personally now upon rewatching, like Ethan himself (...which is not necessarily a good thing to say, given the man's crippling self-worth issues and unhealthy self-isolating mechanisms, but hey xD). I also still feel the trauma from that painful ending, but at least I can see and somewhat accept that they tried to wrap things up as best as they could with the time they were allowed, and it seemed to be the network's whole fault for them not being able to give the final beats of their story the usual room to breathe unlike other, more famous shows and film series with terrible endings...
Among the countless things I loved, these two will always be one of those forever OTPs for me. It was honestly a crime never to have made videos about them, especially given how insanely on brand they are as my typical editing subjects: star-crossed, haunted, lonely people being each other's peace, challenging each other's belief that they are irredeemable monsters and understanding each other better than anyone else + sprinkled with symbolism and prophecy? I was always sold, and they (and we!) deserved to see Vanessa's dream vision come true after all they endured, but the odds and oftentimes they themselves and their tragically unfortunate choices were always stacked against them and they broke our hearts instead ;_;
I don't think I gave them the justice I truly would have liked with this (so many quotes and scenes that didn't make the cut! Might have to edit them again if only for this very reason), but I absolutely loved combining them with this song; the way the musical tune starts comforting, almost fairytale-like but grows increasingly dramatic, with the lyrics cascading into visceral imagery all of a sudden, just embodies Ethanessa/the show's general mood so well to me. I guess I'll let whoever is still watching PD videos in the year of our lord 2023 if there is anyone at all judge...
Per Anna @butterflyeffect.94, aka one of the biggest Ethanessa shippers back in the day: se sei ancora in giro per il caro vecchio Tubo, ti ho pensata molto e questo è per te! Miss you, girl ♥
