SO much of the cultural and artistic nostalgia that society chases was just art made when people got paid to do it. Lavish movie posters made by human artists, video games made by people without sixteen different investment companies breathing down their neck, movies made by studios taking a chance.

#slaytober day 15: the wraith
this was a BLAST going a little out of control with anatomy and dramatic lighting is delicious

#slaytheprincess #art

Slay the princess digital fanart in which the princess, as the wraith, grabs onto the arms of the player, as if controlling him, with an excited grin. The player is covered in shadows and looks despondent.

also city is where the good healthcare is? I would probably be content living in a far less-populated (still northeastern) rural area if not for that my health issues require that I have access to a lot more than just a GP

we need a word for a type of person who spends all their time working to live in a city so they can be near cool things, but they don't actually like going out

NOT THAT FLORENCE SHOULD EVEN BE SINGING THAT SONG IN THE FIRST PLACE

Good morning Chess Follower Nation (all 2 of you), songlist leaked for the revival and I cannot make heads or tails over what the hell they are doing with "Someone Else's Story" and by extension, ALL OF FLORENCE

I think what's bothering me about all these statements I'm seeing from politicians that are variations of "Israeli hostages and Palestinians are returning to their homes, yay" is that Israelis are returning to their homes and Palestinians are returning to uninhabitable post apocalyptic rubble.

Warranted or not, the perception is that this is the Scold Website. If you actually want anyone to be here, you're gonna have to get a little cooler about people understandably having to navigate the declining number of social spaces

Just putting out there that anyone being a scold about people wanting to keep in touch with their friends before this all happened is getting an instant block. It doesn't seem like anyone likes the CEO here either

What if I made this a full day out, got an early dinner, and then go to a DIFFERENT cinema and see Kiss of the Spider-Woman though?

it might also be the fucking maladjusted Catholic in me also that thinks that people in this country, as a whole, do not concern themselves nearly enough with the weight of moral evil though!

I mean probably a bad example to compare it to, given how campy it is, but I enjoyed the fuck out of Phantom of the Paradise and I would not at all call that a film that has a rosy view of anybody, my favorite letterboxd review on it saying "De Palma doesn't care much for people who go to concerts"

oh I 1000% get the point that you are making here, and I get your POV. I have experienced works in which "hatred for humanity" means laziness, but sometimes it wets my vengeance-teeth when something goes "people can be so fucking Wrong" it really depends on execution
