Every remake of a game should come with a copy of the game it is remaking that is compatible with modern hardware but otherwise untouched and I'm not even exaggerating this should be mandated by law. If you're going to attempt to recreate a piece of art you have to give people access to its original context otherwise it becomes the only context and makes the previous version simply a superceded product
Americans not giving a shit about the wildfires burning down forests and homes in Canada until smoke starts spreading across the border. Meanwhile Indigenous communities across the country are far more likely to be impacted by the fires and I’ve seen all of one link to a charity and about nine million memes. 🙃
Good morning/afternoon/evening/dusk/witching hour/dawn,
I hope this email finds you at the end of your life, nailed to a cross or just two planks of wood, starving where only beetles can help you. I hope this email crawls through your ribs and makes a nest where your heart should be. I hope it isn’t too much to ask. I hope your day is going well. Do you mind reaching into the rushing river to grab a few stones for me? They don’t have to be smooth. I like them oblong and strange. I like them breathing. If that’s too much, then don’t worry. I appreciate your consideration like I appreciate your teeth in a jar on my windowsill. Leave them be, the moonlight enchants them. Leave them be, they’re mine. Get back to me when you can. Or don’t. Get back to the old tree behind your old house in your old neighborhood. Do you remember? You used to climb to the highest branch and tell the leaves your secrets. You’d spill them out of your trembling heart like blood off the mantle, the jeweled drops of glistening red secrets tucked among the boughs and knots hiding from the world below. Do you remember? I loved you then. Do you remember? The tea kettle’s gone off again, dear. Do you remember?
honestly the funniest part of tmagp 8 is the poor ta who had to grade that paper. "see me" is code for "i cannot say 'what the fuck' in the official gradebook"
listen whether you like it or not they are all holding the memory of stede like a talisman against all hurt and fear, izzy trying to remind ed of his love so he'll come back to himself, fang can't stop crying so jim starts telling him Pinocchio and doing the little voice like stede does, 'talk it through as a crew.' is uttered like an anti-curse, like a magic spell that will keep them from harm.
inspired by this post, Danny’s lost in the ghost zone and comes across pariah dark’s keep. I had to draw it and had The most fun with the spooky green ghost zone
idk if this is accurate but i’ve felt like in previous seasons riz & gorgug have been one of the inter-bad kids dynamics we’ve seen the least of & this season has been so great in that aspect. gorgug having helped make some of riz’s magic gear. riz helping gorgug with his studies. the shared birthday party. gorgug’s gift to riz being something he himself made to protect riz. riz’s gift to gorgug being something he illegally grabbed to protect gorgug. gorgug who utilizes rage to put his body on the line for his friends & riz who will take deep levels of mental stress for his friends. even though it was within the context of a joke, riz calling gorgug an “absolute sweetie.” like yea they might not be in a band together or both part of a presidential campaign team or owlbears teammates, but they’d go to war for each other, because they’re best friends.
