EDIT: 1:20 - 'during during' what. Many thanks to the user DavStrifeFiraga for pointing this out to me!

You will not get these minutes back. Ever.

I wear mediocrity like a fashion statement :D I also just realised how tired I look - my eyebags are all 'YEAH HELLO WE'RE JUST GONNA BE HERE.'

In this re-imagined narrative, Edward Cullen from the Twilight Series meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's an example of transformative storytelling serving as a pro-feminist visual critique of Edward's character and generally creepy behavior. Seen through Buffy's eyes, some of the more sexist gender roles and patriarchal Hollywood themes embedded in the Twilight saga are exposed - in hilarious ways. Ultimately this remix is about more than a decisive showdown between the slayer and the sparkly vampire. It also doubles as a metaphor for the ongoing battle between two opposing visions of gender roles in the 21ist century.

Seriously...we need to think about caring differently. We'll never be able to love everyone like we love the people close to us, we can't and we shouldn't. So let's understand the ways in which we care for everyone, so we can get rid of some of the guilt and replace it with actual effective change.
