Twin Peaks and Veronica Mars graphic

[caty_did]

This is potentially interesting to maybe three or four people on my flist, since I don't think very many of you have seen both Twin Peaks and Veronica Mars. Anyway, last week(? kwritten nd I got on the topic of the parallels between Laura Palmer, and Lilly Kane. Specifically, the way both of their stories were a deconstruction of the ideal, perfect, woman. Both girls start their series as the catalyst. A murdered, teenage girl, who everyone seems to have loved. They can do no wrong. But both shows progress, and through flashbacks, and discovery, the audience finds that neither Laura, nor Lilly were perfect, not by a longshot. Long story short, that discussion made me want to make something and this was the result.

I've watched 'em both and I think this is interesting! The evil father (or close enough) who — SPOILER — is their undoing is another commonality.

Though I don't know if I ever really got the impression that Lily was such a paragon. She seemed mischievous from the start, with her parents (or mom anyway) never quite able to stuff her into their "princess" box. That could be due to 20/20 hindsight on my part, though. It's been awhile since I watched it.

Lovely graphic. Well, for a certain value of lovely, anyway. I like it.

This is amazing!

+ If Veronica joined the FBI she would be the snarky female equivalent of a pre-Twin Peaks Cooper. And you just know she would have a mini tape recorder named Logan.

I love your brain. Have I told you that lately?
