VID REC: Bandom, "Mama"
"YOU SHOULD HAVE RAISED A BABY GIRL, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER SON!"
Omg, this rec is going to be so much fun.

Okay, so this takes a little explaining. But it's WORTH it. You'll enjoy this, trust. SO. MCR are theatrical dudes who make grandiose videos with amazing universe-building ideas, and this fanvid interacts with the stories the band make up about themselves (because they make up stories toooo!) and twists it to make it even better. The first was a video the band did for the song "Welcome to the Black Parade" [the Black Parade being a kind of underworld/afterlife/circus/death... thing] and the second was the video for "Ghost of You" [a WW2 story]. Go watch those two, okay? THEN watch what Audrey made, which is a storyboard animation of a story that is half-sequel, half-AU of the two stories the band made. It's so clever, and so sad, and at the same time so wonderful because... because it breaks down the fan/source boundaries we're used to and just makes it about the interaction of art and narrative and dreams, one idea speaking to another and making something new. Oh, it's gorgeous.
