Red and yellow and pink and green,
Purple and orange and blue,
I can sing the council's over-complicated recycling scheme.

Not just literary i suppose. Laurel & Hardy make me feel the same way. Those films are almost a century old. Two long dead men who loved one another, punching through time to make us laugh. That's beautiful.

Sometimes there'll be a joke written by someone who's been dead for tens, hundreds of years & i'll stop and think about another human reaching through time to make another human laugh, long after they're gone, and it's so beautiful it makes me well up.

Tell me your most life-affirming literary opinion.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see the bangers of your youth turn up in adverts for toilet cleaner or insurance or whatever

Want to see Pop Culture Figure A in Pop Culture World B?
Imagine it. There you go. Easy pie.
Draw a lil doodle of it. Haha!
Write an intricately plotted 70K word fanfic of it on AO3 with exactly one sex scene in it after 18 chapters of slow burn tension, you fucking freak*

I love The Sims 1.

Gabby HC, but a ghost, hiding in a corner @scriblit.bsky.social · 18h

A game that is so formative to both my kids (husband played it with them when they were both MUCH too young to cope with the sad bits) that both are contemplating getting Colossus Weak Spot tattoos as they go into adulthood

Design Room @designroom.bsky.social · 18h

For the Shadow of the Colossus story, we interviewed 14 people including project leads Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido, hired Gravity Rush concept artist Takeshi Oga to illustrate the cover, and put together a 10,000-word story with help from @milkman.bsky.social @shmuplations.bsky.social and others.

Shadow of the Colossus: An oral history

Celebrate the 20th anniversary of Team Ico’s masterpiece by looking back with 11 people who worked on it (and three who didn’t).

It's perfect. Gorgeous art, storytelling, walking the fine line between creepy & cozy with a beautiful ultimate meaning that the things we fear aren't always as frightening as they first appear

Also, head on over to MY shop at ko-fi.com/tealin/shop to pre-order some polar-themed midwinter cards so I know how many to get printed!

An illustration of the Cape Evans Hut beneath Mt Erebus in the Antartctic night, with the first verse of 'In The Bleak Midwinter' superimposed, formatted like a Victorian prayer card.

A colour illustration based on Ponting's photo of the Cape Evans midwinter tree, 1911.
