simply the best [hbd mom! #1]

Описание: Ten years ago, for my mom’s 50th birthday, I made her five AMVs, partially because it was a milestone birthday and I felt it deserved more than I usually give + one for each decade, but also because that was the year we fell in love with Jersey Boys/Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and it was impossible to choose just one song. This year, my mom turns 60 and I wanted to do something similar. I ended up coming up with three ideas. I thought of trying to stretch it to five, but I didn’t want to force it, not to mention I don’t have a lot of space on my computer at the moment so editing isn’t super easy, making three hard enough!

First off, we have a song from Schitt’s Creek. My mom binged this show a couple years ago and got absolutely obsessed with it. I’ve never seen her love a show to this degree before. She found herself looking up cast interviews and the like and told me she finally understood why I’ve also gotten obsessed with shows the way I have. (I mean, she did understand it before, but now on a different level.) She egged me on to watch it myself, but I didn’t know how I’d find the time. Eventually, I figured we could watch it together, so I could continue watching my own lengthy list of shows by myself but watch this whenever we were together. We started on Thanksgiving 2022 and finished this past July. I definitely loved it, but I still associate it with her first and foremost, but that’s kinda how I like it. Never before have I had a piece of media that I’ve associated with her to this degree and I’m so happy to finally have one. I feel like her other biggest love would be Jersey Boys, but I equally, if not more, associate that with myself. I feel like for everyone I know and care about, there’s media I associate them with, and it helps me understand them better, so I’m very grateful for my mom to have this, especially since two of my all time biggest hyperfixations are also sitcoms (Hannah Montana and Liv and Maddie.)

Thankfully, we got a song out of this show, so I’ve had this idea in mind for a while! It also doubles as a reference to Tina: The Tina Turner Musical, which we saw last summer and enjoyed. More to come soon!

Also, sorry for the lack of queer couples with the MLM song. My mom is a BIG ally and she would be all for it, there just aren’t really any queer couples in her fav animated movies and I’m not big on/that good at crossovers.
