Ready to Go (oh-oh-oh)

[mokuyoubi]

So how about the retrograde narrative in between the Panic! vids. I guess Ready to Go is the prequel to The Overture? I'm confused and delighted by it. I was pretty sure after watching it the first time that Brendon was wearing the same outfit at the end of Ready to Go that he is in The Overture, and I was positive about the bar that he walks into in RtG being the same that he walks out of in The Overture, but I double-checked, and sure enough. They were obvs. in the same town during the umbrella dance scene.

So, yeah. I am even more intrigued by where they're going with this story now, and I WANT TO WRITE IT SO BAD.

I mean, what's going on? I mostly see it as Brendon gearing up to leave, like maybe he's having a dream of the potential worlds outside of theirs and that's the impetus for him wanting to leave? Or they've already made the decision to leave and this is him gearing up for it. The only thing that makes me wonder is that in the beginning of RtG they seem like normal, rl Brendon and Spencer.

Thoughts?

I've made it up in my head that the world they live in is pretty much like the "Open Happiness" video - everything goes, and the world is populated by random scene changes, and fantastical characters. Spencer and Brendon (and others in the Overture video) for whatever reason decide to chance it in the real world, and "Ready to Go" was basically a farewell/pep rally to the world they're going to leave.

But that's all in my head.

(PS: Brendon should dance in every video they ever make)

lol, sounds perfectly reasonable to me

Also, yes. Brendon dancing fills me with glee!
