Chapter 1

The cold is something Anders isn't used to, or something he'd ever wanted to get used to. He's been looking for that stupid Yggdrasil stick for a long time now and he would be downplaying it if he said he was tired, he hates it in Norway; they only eat fish and the air feels like being tackled by a snow giant and the chicks only wear pants. He's fucking sick of it that's what it is, the month of december is Anders´s least favorite and here where he can only speak to a few English speakers; he feels just as lonely as he did in Auckland except it's harder to get into someone's pants to forget about it; not to mention the afterlife effort he has to put in to maintain his dick interested and not freeze and break off his body.

He finds a promising lead on accident while shopping for alcohol after another month of speaking to useless tourist baiters; the shop owner tells him about a forest back in the least populated regions of Norway and explains in poor English (better than Anders's absolutely UNACCEPTABLE Norwegian) that most people are scared to go into this place; thorns; dead flowers and broken three trunks line the path of whoever dares enter and no one ever comes out; especially around this time of year; he says.

It's ominous and terrifying but better than nothing, and so the blonde sets off for yet another trip to an unknown part of a country he doesn't belong to.

The end of this trip and the idea that he'll find that stupid stick becomes far more and more plausible to Anders when he tries to hire a guide and no one will go with him; not even for twice or triple what they charge and even when he tries to Bragi a poor bastard into going inside all he gets it's the man to drive him close enough; he drops him off in a town called Førresfjorden; beautiful, covered in snow and surrounded by miles and miles of freezing cold, unforgiving sea; he gets it.

The blonde has gotten tired of staring at the views if he's honest. The people there treat him nicely and lead him to the beginning of a forest, again, just pointing fingers, and as the people get sparse; the more suspicious and even pitiful looks they give Anders.

He finds his way through the last of the pavemented roads and to a very suspicious looking sign that poorly (with the water damage and plants growing near it) reads "her ligger den grønne" pointing to the tip of the forest; he thinks about pulling out his phone and translating whatever it is that the sign says but he's far more preoccupied with getting out of there and he ventures into the snow covered woods, the shadows of the three lines make it look like the grass is darker on the inside of the forest but the blonde tells himself that's impossible. The woods go for miles and miles; and he feels like he's walked for hours yet the three line and the pavement are just as close as they where at first; the mud makes it hard for him to lift his feet off the ground and the tips of his fingers are so cold it hurts him to move them “fucks sake” he mumbles as he trips over a three root that surges from the ground; barely catching himself on a three trunk and getting a cut right to the middle of his hand, his gloves didn’t help much and the stinging pain is almost as bad as the print of his bloody hand that somehow remains; sticking out like a sign inside this green and white dome; vibrant and minacious like trying to tell Anders (with his own blood) that he should turn back around. He shudders in disgust; he really does hate blood; but he’d rather see it than die of an infection so he ties his hand with a piece of rag that squishes blood drops out of it; calling the attention of something in the woods as Anders keeps walking.

It’s definitely been a few hours (or at least it feels like that thanks to the general darkness that accompanies the forest) when he stops walking again; afraid he's gotten lost and too tired to move, he takes a second to sit in the nearest rock; somehow drier and not covered in moss like the rest; his hand stings and his stomach growls announcing to anders that he should have had breakfast.

he huffs out annoyed mumbling to himself “not now” looking up at the sky and rolling his back to ease the tension, he finally notices the tree lines stop like in a pattern; a circle where nothing grows; not even grass and the threes are so tall that it looks like its night even tho Anders's watch marks 2 pm; he gets up carefully from the rock; inspecting his wrinkled map and huffing confused; he makes a small turn in his own place trying to understand where he came from; then he waits for a sign of some sorts; maybe a stream or a bird, the silence hits him so hard it is scary; every step reverberates thru the clearing and every breath out of his mouth is like a scream drowned in the wind; he'd think it was somewhat peaceful if it wasn't because that second it hits him

He's lost

Oh so terribly lost; no signal on his phone, no guide, and his map doesn't even show that part of the forest since no one dares enter; he tries to turn back to where he started but no matter which route he takes he always ends up in the same place right in the middle of the circle of..well nothing. He makes a desperate attempt to call for help but his voice gets drowned by the threes; the wind, an unprecedented wind by the way; that the blonde has no idea where it came from or how could it even pass thru the neatly (way to neat) and tightly arranged threes starts to hit him from both sides as he runs around yelling for help; the wind blows on his ears and even starts to push him; lifting leaves and sticks of the ground making it difficult for Anders to see anything but dark green and the snow that circles him menacingly; he puts his hands crossed over in front of him as to not get hit by anything in the face; growing more desperate

“Stop; Stop it. Now!” He yells to the air, not sure what else to do. The tremor in his voice makes it hard to get Bragi’s words out but the wind stops altogether; finally allowing the blonde to open his eyes to what he feels is a poor tasted prank. When he finally puts his hands down; he’s in a different forest; the leaves are all light green and the flowers blossom around him in a tapestry of colors; the sun beams bright making him squint his eyes, mildly grateful for the heat but knowing damn well it wasn't this warm a second ago he looks around confused;; the circle of threes, the rick and the center of dead dirt are nowhere to be seen; now it's just him and the flowers; the grass up to his knees and a small waterfall that leads to a stream.

He is SO fucking lost, no doubt.

Changes to Tag System:

TLDR; The Inkopolis tag has been changed.

Quick update (which will soon be reflected in the links) on the tag system. The use of the "inkopolis" tag has been changed.

Prior to this, the "inkopolis" tag referred to any location that was stated or presumed to be in or around the general Inkopolis area, such as stages.

The definition of the "inkopolis" tag now refers to only areas that are core Inkopolis. This includes Inkopolis Plaza and Square, Inkopolis tutorial areas and the Splatoon 1 test range.

Most stages are no longer included in the Inkopolis tag. This may change in the future; stages that are clearly embedded in the city and offer a good view at the surrounding area might be re-included (examples: Urchin Underpass, New Albacore Hotel), while stages that are implied to be in Inkopolis but are indoors and show next to nothing of the outside will be kept out (examples: Humpback Pump Track, MakoMart).

The new tag to replace the Inkopolis tag in Stage posts is greater inkopolis. This is the canonical name for the Greater Inkopolis region, encompassing not only the city but its immediate surroundings until cut off by the Octarian border or the Splatlands. Stages that fall into the Inkopolis or Greater Inkopolis borders, or that have unclear locations but are estimated to still be in- or near Inkopolis, will now use the "greater inkopolis" -tag.

This change has been made to clarify the geographical classification of stages and prevent the core tag for Inkopolis from becoming cluttered by screenshots that do not show the city.

Note that posts tagged with "greater inkopolis" will still show up in the search for "inkopolis" due to tumblr's search system. The tags still function interchangeably in this manner. If you want to ONLY find posts tagged "Inkopolis" and completely avoid irrelevant stage pictures, you must use the tag search. This change should be useful to those only looking for reference images of the architecture, neighborhoods and environment of the city of Inkopolis to help with the big picture and avoid shuffling through photosets of indoor areas with no substance in this matter.

The transition between tags has not yet been fully completed. Also keep in mind that the transition may have resulted in some errors in the tagging system (as I am doing it by hand and squinting at the mass post editor thumbnails trying to figure out what photoset is what stage). Some photosets may have had their tags erroneusly removed, while others may have been erroneusly tagged as greater inkopolis despite not qualifying. However in the grand scene, I don't think it should cause anything catastropic.

Let me know what you think of the change, if it seems like a useful change, and if there are any other improvement ideas for the tagging system to make navigation easier!

thx for reading kthx baiiii

I recently learned that sometimes different locations will have their own “regional” version of the mask, like Hamburg and the West End and Russia. Do Broadway and the new Australia have their own masks? What about the old Vegas and San Francisco productions?

Yes, replica productions will almost always feature some variation in their visuals, which includes not just the Phantom's mask, but all the costumes, the wigs, the makeup, even the blocking to a minor extent. This is because, even with designs and a fairly set direction, there's always going to be room for interpretation. Are those squiggles along Christine's bodice lace or appliques? Are those long waves ruffles or layers of lace? There's three different variations on the slavegirl bodice, should we pick one or use all of them? And so on.

Even within a certain country, there can be variations. The US for the most part kept to the same design no matter if it was Broadway or a tour (Las Vegas made a few changes here and there to accommodate for the larger theater, and the restaged tour is not a replica), and sometimes actors will bring over their masks from a previous production (I think Josh Piterman might have done that for the Australian restaging), but if you look at, say, the various German productions, you'll spot some pretty noticeable differences between, for example, Thomas Schulze's rather excellent mask in Hamburg and Ethan Freeman's "oh God what the heck is that" mask in Essen.

For more masks, check out @operafantomet's tag on the Phantom's mask, which has multiple photosets and analysis posts on the mask!

Arii 1:6 Lynn Minmay from Macross DYRL sofubi build photoset August 13th, 2022

Here is the completed build of Arii’s Minmay sofubi model kit in 1:6 scale. So, Arii had made a few other sofubi (soft vinyl) kits of Hikaru, Misa, and Minmay from the Macross TV show, but this is Minmay as seen in the epic final battle of the Macross: Do You Remember Love movie. There are some issues with this kit. Her eyes, as sculpted for this kit, are wide and dopey, resembling the TV version of Minmay as opposed to the older version as seen in the movie.There are no earrings, and her “nether regions” are completely without detail. Which is weird, because it turns out that her skirt is way too short. They didn’t make it long enough.

I mailed parts of this kit to my friend Gary, who used to work in the toy industry before everything went digital. He re-sculpted her eyes, gave her panties, and fashioned earrings for her. She has these anti-gravity earrings that dangle yet are not attached to her earlobes, so he used fishing line to replicate that notion.

I painted Minmay using V-Color sofubi paints, her hair being first painted black as a base shade and then gone over with blue. I painted her outfit a top coat of Gaia Notes Blue Steel Arpeggio fluorescent, glow-in-the-dark lacquer paints to give her even more of a futuristic look, seeing as how her concert dress from the beginning of the movie glows in the dark. I wanted this dress to be the same.

While cutting the excess vinyl from her skirt, I ended up going overboard, not knowing exactly what I was doing, and inadvertently gave her skirt a rather peek-a-boo look to it. At that point, she’d definitely need panties. IIRC, my friend used Epoxy Sculpt to create sexy, high-leg panties for Minmay. The V-Color paints went on top of that just fine.

A Night in the Life of a Concert Photographer

~By Randy J Byrd~

The process as a concert photographer has changed for me over the years. It's crazy when I think about it. Went from me just using my phone to a throw-around camera I thought I had no use for full-on professional DSLRs. Did I ever really set out to do this damn thing? I did have dreams, but I never took them seriously until it got me into magazines and eventually Doomed and Stoned.

Originally, photography was something I took up to keep my mind off of drinking while at shows. I never asked anyone if I could bring my camera, I just did it. Eventually, I got into shows at bigger venues that deemed it necessary to have zero flash and limited the photo pit to three songs per band. Now I never use flash unless its for artistic purposes. I still like to hog the front row at smaller venues, because hey I'm there to listen to music and see my favorite bands like everyone else!

Live at Maida Vale BBC - Vol. II by Baroness

How exactly does an average night go for me as a concert photographer? These days it's actually planned well in advance so I know what funding I need and how much time off I need from work. Yes, sometimes I get in for free. However, for the most part I pay my way in unless its offered or I'm flat broke. I've driven all over the country to go to festivals and shows. It really depends on my mood and how much time I have to burn. I've shot bands on all levels of the field. Signed and unsigned.

God Luck and Good Speed by Weedeater

Once I get contact from a manager or band member that is in charge of press, we negotiate terms. Be it as simple as me getting into the venue or as complicated as getting reimbursed for travel expenses such as food, lodging and transport. This is in addition to negotiating time to talk with the artists, which for me will often come via promotional shoots or conducting an interview for D&S.

I love shooting press promos and doing interviews, it's just like catching up with old friends. I love shooting the shit. I love road stories and hearing about pranks. If I can get this done around a dinner table, it's always a blast because you can get a better flow if everyone is fat and happy -- and for those that drink, getting the juices going.

Blood Drive by ASG

As far as actual shooting events, I try to scope out all new venues at least an hour before to get a gist of how staff operate and what the room is like. Where the shooting area is for bigger venues. If possible I try to shoot the room to get a baseline of camera settings. Sometimes that's tough because show lighting can differ from soundcheck to showtime (also from band to band).

7 Days Of Smoke by I Am The Liquor

I've shot entirely dark rooms and I've shot entirely lit rooms. I can do it all, but concert photography can be tricky if you shoot 100% manually. It took me five years to shoot manual. It takes time and as fast as some artists are, if you're not practiced up you will miss a lot more shots than if you were on a semi-auto mode or an all-out automatic mode.

I also tend to get food within the venue, as well. I try to see in advance if they have coffee. I don't drink alcohol anymore, so sometimes I get a hot black coffee to fend off the demons.

Found a lovely girl under a rotten log! A fishing spider, probably a big female, maybe with eggs? Chonkiest one I’ve ever seen. Must have had some prime real estate, because an American toad was under there with her, only inches away. Both were relocated to a different log, and their first log was moved to its permanent home to act as erosion control. What a lovely surprise- I love fishing spiders!
