From The Depths Of My Bed (I've Got The Flu), This Humble Sebastian Colored Sketch I've Started Some

If I tell you this is a horror dance number it still won't prepare you. That last move was so terrifying even the judge was like "Let go! Let go!" If you told me they're actually possessed I'd believe you.

The music is a remix of the song Mere Dholna from the Bollywood movie Bhool Bhulaiyya, a remake of the classic Malayalam horror-comedy Manichitrathazhu. It's about a young bride that seemingly becomes possessed of Manjulika, a dancer of the ancient royal court whose tragic death has turned her into a vengeful spirit, one who evokes the wrath of the goddess Durga Kali. In the iconic scene that is repeated across remakes, the groom and his family discover his bride dancing in the dead of night in a manic, disassociative fugue, wearing a moth-eaten dancer's costume and a face smeared in kohl, ash and vermilion. She's hallucinating that she's Manjulika dancing carefree for the court with her lover. The upbeat music is deliberately incongruous with the pathos and creepiness of the scene in reality, especially as it crescendos in the bride's head to the moment when the king decapitates Manjulika's beloved in a fit of jealous rage.

This specific number is by the all-male troupe B Unique, performed for the Indian reality talent contest Hunabaarz. It's a modern fusion based on Bharatnatyam that turns up the creep factor by 200% and is basically a showcase of contortionism and synchronicity. One of the most perfectly choreographed and executed dances I have ever seen. Truly incredible!

The group is still taking their work across the world's talent shows. And yes, that guy is hypermobile enough to do that with his neck. XD

The Blues Brothers (1980)

I was telling my partner about how sometimes I look at my own art tag to remind myself that I, like, did that & am in fact capable of creating things, & how I love that for me & how I love that for everyone else, because they get to see the things I make.

Me: "I've just gotta get all Joel Smallishbeans about it, y'know, what Marina & the Diamonds said, 'I feel like I'm the worst, so I act like I'm the best.'"

Them: "That's definitely a Joel song."

Me: "Yeah, it really is."

Them: "You know who else I associate that song with?"

Them: "Vriska."

Me: "Oh yeah totally, it's a very Vriska song. I've actually seen quite a few po-"

Them: "Ergo Joel Smallishbeans is Vriska coded."

Me:

“face the truth as it is instead” disintegrated him
