Fridge Brilliance in Kings, pt 3

It's not just that they are obviously fans of the original story and did their research well. I think they also read all the various novelizations and watched what exists on film and maybe even dipped into fanfic. I swear I've read that "locked in a room til you produce a kid" scenario in one of the novel adaptations but it's been awhile and it wasn't Jonathan who got locked up.

And check out their detailed worldbuilding. It includes the weather patterns and mentions that they're on the metric system and love soccer.

"Indigenous foods: turkey, white-tailed deer venison, potatoes, corn, and squash." Those are 99 percent indigenous North American foods. So I don't know if that answers the "Where are we?" question.

When Silas takes David to see his Secret Other Family, David bonds with little Seth. Silas and Helen watch them and comment that Seth has "found a new friend". Considering which Biblical character Seth is based on (he grows up to try and seize the crown and fails, so so badly) this is amusing.

On the first page of our story
The future seemed so bright
Then the saint turned out so evil
I don't know why i'm still surprised
Even angels have their wicked schemes
And you take that to new extremes
But you'll always be my hero
Even though you've lost your mind
-Skyler Grey, "Love the Way You Lie" (original recording).

Les Mis plus Kings

Someone did a Kings fanvid to One Day More. It's pretty good. There are other stories that are better parallels, but the vidder really has made it work.
I mean, you giggle a little at Jack being Eponine because he totally is but it's still funny, and you picture him wandering a darkened street belting out "On My Own" and you start to feel a bit more sober then you remember "A Little Fall of Rain". Now it's not funny at all.

There's a TJ Hammond vid to "I Dreamed a Dream" which is also pretty good, but I'd really love to do that one for Jack too. OMG do I want to. I could have that done in less than two weeks.
