Part I
This thread is inspired by two of my other threads: The Philosophy of Rick and Morty and Alpha Chicks and Beta Chicks.
In the Rick and Morty thread, I recently posted this video:

I was intrigued by the creators of this video, so I started researching them. I soon got sucked into their world.
Check out this parody of Dangerous Woman they made (dubbed Dangerous Villain):

Who are these guys? I immediately became enthralled by their professionalism.
The girl who plays Harley Quinn calls herself Heidi Maetrix:

This is where it ties into my Alpha chicks and Beta Chicks thread. Heidi immediately struck me as a candidate for that thread. But this spell I’m temporarily enchanted by is a little beyond just her. I’m actually very enamoured by the whole Herrington family.
As it turns out, and as Heidi makes clear in her Q&A, these guys are actually a group of siblings (the Herringtons). They’ve been doing Cosplay for several years now and have a background in creating these parodies of famous songs.
They started with Katy Perry’s This Is How We Do:

The Herringtons are:
^ Heidi Mae Herrington
^ Joseph Herrington (I’m guessing he calls himself Broseph 'cause he’s a ‘bro’; I don’t know where David comes from, maybe a middle name like Mae).
^ Miranda Herrington
^ Rachel Herrington (I think).
^ Gabriel Herrington (sorry Gabe, you weren’t in the Dangerous Villain parody and this is the best I could find of you.)
And of course, mom and dad:
^ Lory Herrington
^ Jim Herrington
(According to Heidi, there is one other sibling, but I can’t find him/her anywhere on the internet. It’s possible that one of the women in their videos is her but she got married and took her husband’s last name, which means she wouldn’t be referred to as a Herrington.)
Joseph and Heidi are the creative geniuses who seem to head of the group.
Not sure what enthralls me about the Herringtons. Maybe their good looks. Definitely their talent and the lengths they’ll go to make their work professional. But most of all, I think, the fact that they are siblings–a family. You see, at first, I assumed Heidi and Broseph were like a couple–something similar to July Talk–and having seen their parody to Rick and Morty, and then Dangerous Villain–I saw something “mischievous” about them, almost demonic. Then when I learned they were a family–the Herringtons–they suddenly seemed like angels. Angels who could sometimes play the part of demons, but were connected by a deep bond of love. (I was on acid at the time.) ← Ever since then I’ve been enthralled by them.
I don’t think the Herringtons are human. They seem superhuman, like they’ve been sent from the Heavens to contribute something wholesome to humanity… that or they’re just super intelligent, creative, possessed of amazing social skill, and extremely good looking. ← That’s possible among human beings, right? It’s rare, I know, but too rare? Is it more likely that the Herringtons are a higher form of intelligence?
