Love has enemies: a challenge!

Rarely has this icon felt so appropriate. I'm sure that the flying shadow appears in the video somewhere.

So, yes, I know most of you have already seen the epic awesomeness awfulness that is Shine. (If not, make sure that you have no liquids near your computer when you press play. Some brain bleach would be a useful thing to have handy, too.) If only there was just a hint of irony. But no.

Anyway, I think it's time we had some fun around here, so I am issuing the Shine Fic Challenge. You may choose any or all of the incomprehensible scenes or 'storylines' from the video as your inspiration. Bonus points for explanations of the disappearing moustache.

Thanks for the liquid warning. :P

Were those flying things meant to be dragons, I wonder?

LOL, I don't know if I can stomach the thought of analyzing this video to write something. He really grosses me out. Are you going to do it?

[girlyswot.livejournal.com]

I don't expect actual analysis. Just pick the scene that stuck most in your mind and write me a little, tine, fun drabble. You know you want to...

I hope someone manages to get the whole thing covered.

I'm expecting an essay from you, Miss TDU. 'The Juxtaposition of Romance Cliches in Modern Pop Videos'. Or 'The Power of the Wind Machine'. You can choose your own title if you prefer.

Thanks for this. I had to giggle at the words [high quality video] which followed the title.

I think the moustache is supposed to distinguish The Distant Past from The Not-so-distant Past and The Present. I think. But I can't bear to watch it all again in order to check!
