Subscribe for more musical short films! What should we make next?!

This musical is for everyone who’s ever swooned over a brooding fae lord, a morally gray antihero, or an Ice Planet Barbarian 😉. Inspired by our booktok obsessions, from ACOTAR to Fourth Wing to Ali Hazelwood books! 📖💕

Making this was so much fun! I’d like to dedicate it to my wife, Zipporah — Here’s to countless afternoons reading side by side! I love you! -Vijay

LYRICS:

HER
(mesmerized)
“His gaze pierced through me like a thousand suns. His touch sent shivers down my spine. For the first time in my life... I was truly seen.”
(to herself)
I think I just fell in love…

HE places coffee and snacks in front of her.

HIM
Again? I noticed you were so into your book, you forgot to eat. Here.

She freezes, staring up at him like he just stepped through the pages of her book.

HER
(realization)
Oh my god... you're one of them…

HIM
One of what?

I’VE GOT MY OWN BOOK BOYFRIEND
HIS DOOR FRAME LEAN MAKES ME WEAK IN MY KNEES
HE’S RUGGED, YET SOFT AND GENTLE
AND WILL DRIVE ME TO THE BOOKSTORE WHENEVER I PLEASE

HE’LL VANQUISH ALL FOES THAT COME MY WAY
THEN TENDERLY KISS MY FEARS AWAY
HE LOOKS LIKE THE FANART I STARE AT EVERYDAY

I’VE GOT MY OWN BOOK BOYFRIEND
HIS ARM VEINS FLEX WHEN HE OFFERS HIS HAND
HE’S BROODING, YET SO ROMANTIC
AND I MAKE HIM LAUGH MORE THAN ANYONE CAN

HE LISTENS WHEN I RANT ABOUT THE BOOKS I LOVE
AND EVEN READS THEM HIMSELF! I’VE BEEN DREAMING OF
A MAN WHO SUPPORTS ME LIKE HE DOES

HE MAY NOT BE MY MORTAL ENEMY
BUT WE BICKER ONCE IN A WHILE
WHEN I DEVOUR HIM WITH MY EYES
I MAY LOOK WEIRD, BUT IT MAKES HIM SMILE AND SMILE

AND THOUGH OUR LIVES AREN’T LIFE OR DEATH
OUR LOVE IS PASSIONATE AND WILD

HE’S NOT JUST A TROPE
HIS HEART GIVES ME HOPE
THAT MAYBE HAPPY IS OUR STYLE
WE’RE THE PERFECT TEAM
HE’S LIKE A DREAM
HE’S BEATEN EVERY SINGLE TRIAL

(FANTASY/ROMANCE SEQUENCE)

I’VE GOT THE BEST BOOK BOYFRIEND
HE’S NOT CONTROLLING OR INSECURE OR RUDE
HE SPOILS ME WITH ALL HIS LOVING
BECAUSE HE KNOWS HOW I LOVE HIM TOO
MY LIFE’S A BOOK CLUB WITH MY BEST FRIEND
AND OUR STORY’S BOUND FOR A HAPPY END
WE’LL FILE IT IN OUR GROWING LIBRARY
I LOVE MY BOOKS
AND HE LOVES ME
