hello!! 👋🏻

this is probably not the video essay y’all were expecting, but I hope you’ll enjoy it anyway! truth is, after I made that poll around 6 months ago asking for your input bc I was stuck on my video essay on pmmm/rgu/ptutu, I started working on it again and as I mentioned in the beginning of this video essay, I fell down a rabbit hole. I really enjoyed working on this one though as I could put forth some of my theories on the upcoming movie, which is (hopefully 🤞🏻🍀🔮) coming out soon.

Here is the script! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1V... (I noticed there was an issue with the link but it is fixed now!)

Unfortunately, I lost the copy of the script I was using while recording, the copy that had been corrected as I misspoke/added something (I recorded half of the audio in June and the other half in August, and started editing mid-September). I will keep editing the script in the next few days/weeks so that it matches better what I am saying in the video, sorry! 😭🙏🏻
