Fuck Damon Hill for the "bit of comfort for horner & red bull though, the less cars that start the quicker Max will move up in positions" comment

ALEX WENT STRAIGHT TO MEDICAL

GOD KNOWS HOW MANY YELLOW AND RED FLAGS WE'VE HAD AS WELL AS CRASHES SPINS AND NEAR MISSES

IT'S A MIRACLE NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED OR WORSE AND WE DON'T HAVE AN UPDATE RE: ALEX ON WHETHER OR NOT HE WAS INJURED IN THAT CRASH.

Go and fuck yourself Damon!

Like 2 people messaged me about the NME magazine I was holding so while I still don't own a scanner, I can take shitty pictures from the britpop articles.

I cannot get over how good Transformers One was. I keep rewatching it and might rewatch it today too. I loved Sentinel Prime so much. The way they portrayed him here reminded me a lot of Mael Stronghart mixed with Damon Gant from Ace Attorney but also Gabriel from Good Omens.

I also really like how they portrayed Starscream too. I always loved him in the franchise and his way of walking in this new movie was so fun to see.

I am craving to watch all the Transformers series again that I used to watch a lot when I was younger.

If there are a million Reeve Carney as Orpheus fans in the world, I am one of them. If there are only two Reeve Carney as Orpheus fans in the world, I am one of them (Eva Noblezada is the other). If there are no Reeve Carney as Orpheus fans in the world, Eva Noblezada and I are dead 😔

I deeply believe it is a law of nature that as soon as you get turned into a vampire (especially if male), your top three buttons just magically open up or the top of your shirt unties, because...

...if people can't see your collarbone, are you even a vampire?

I also brought evidence!

Exhibit A:

Astarion (obviously...), Baldur's Gate 3

Exhibit B:

Alucard, Castlevania (technically only half a vampire but giving full vampire energy)

Exhibit C:

Lestat de Lioncourt, Interview with the Vampire

Exhibit D:

Adam (left), Only Lovers Left Alive

Exhibit E:

Gabriel de Léon, Empire of the Vampire (yeah yeah, ik, this is basically cheating because he's only half vampire, but hear me out:)

(Shirt has left the building at this point)

Exhibit F:

Damon Salvatore, The Vampire Diaries

Exhibit C (Addition):

(Again) Lestat, Queen of the Damned (you can barely see it here, and I'm willing to accept this as addition to Exhibit C)

Exhibit G:

Selene, Underworld (showing at least the one part of skin that's important!)

I'll happily accept additional evidence supporting my case, thank you!

Today I am mourning the fact that we never got a full stage recording of Monkey: Journey to the West. a funky Opera by Chen Shi-Zheng in collaboration with Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn of Gorillaz fame.

We have a studio album and live recordings of the show's audio, but as far as I'm aware there is not a full recording of the entire show available anywhere.

Like just look at this trailer! Not only does the show look so fuckin fun it means THEY HAVE A RECORDING SOMEWHERE DAMMIT!

[aeolianblues]

Some more promotional Gorillaz CDs sent to our radio station.

Early singles like Tomorrow Comes Today, sent in 2001. The debut album. D-Sides, and second album Demon Days. All with Jamie Hewlett’s lovely artwork!

LOST MEDIA: Gorillaz - Plastic Beach Web Games

I come to you tonight with one request: I want help in tracking down the Plastic Beach point-and-click adventure game from the Phase 3 (2010-2012) Gorillaz website.

In 2010, coinciding with the release of their third studio album, British virtual band Gorillaz gave their website a huge overhaul, including the release of several new flash games. The centerpiece was a point-and-click adventure game (untitled, usually just referred to as "Plastic Beach") in which the player was able to explore the island of Plastic Beach, similar to the games available on earlier websites where the player was able to explore Gorillaz HQ Kong Studios.

Along with this game were a few others: Escape to Plastic Beach, a three chapter long action/adventure game (the third chapter of which cost €1.50 to play, and was available both for PC and iPhones.) Just recently the developer, Matmi, hinted at trying to re-release these, but they went silent regarding it and nothing has come of it so far.

There were also two smaller Flash titles, Submatronic and Gorillaz Fishing. Not entirely sure what these two entailed but they were listed on the website and, like the adventure game and Escape are not playable via the Wayback Machine nor are they archived elsewhere.

From my research, it seems the website had some kind of DRM software that the older websites (which have been archived over at zombiehiphop.xyz) didn't, since the Plastic Beach game used full tracks from the album and EMI was worried about piracy. Before anyone suggests it like was done in other places where I've asked about this, no, the game was not released on a CD or DVD. Because of this, all four games unique to the Plastic Beach era website are lost. The iPhone port of Escape to Plastic Beach was also removed from the App Store years ago, and as such is also completely lost.

As of right now, all that still exists are low-quality videos of the adventure game in action, a few screenshots, and a handful of Flash files I've dug up from the Wayback Machine.

The loss of this game represents not just a loss for Flash preservation, but a huge loss for Gorillaz fans as it was an integral element of the story of the Plastic Beach era. Without it and much of the other content from the old website, the already incomplete story that Jamie Hewlett and the rest of the Zombie Flesh Eaters team were trying to tell lives on almost wholly through secondary accounts. While recordings exist, it is simply not the same as having access to the full experience.

I ask of you all to please consider my words and help me do something about this, instead of wallowing in hopelessness as it seems the community has been doing for oh so long now.

Thank You.

the vampire diaries + incorrect quotes

[cancerian-woman]

I won't be offended if you prefer to delete this but your post about Tyler had me thinking...

Caroline really made his grief over his mother dying about her so much so that she issued the worst ultimatum and left herself with...

A drunk old man that used to be her teacher.

A long time friend that never seemed like he got over Elena and definitely has codependent issues with his brother so much so that he sacrificed himself willingly a day after their wedding.

And a power hungry hybrid who gave her money he could more than afford to give and said pretty words but also tortured, enslaved and killed people she was connected to....and also definitely had codependent issues with his brother.

I cannot fathom it.

All true facts. It’s late here so a meta! :D

As a huge Forwood shipper and I’m equally very critical of them. It’s a great ship for them both at first, then becomes a ship only for Caroline’s needs and development which isn’t fair to Tyler That Klaroline/Steroline shadow made those fans believe Tyler was the worst Caroline could get. When in reality he was the BEST romantic partner and friend she ever had.

What upsets me more about that ultimatum that Caroline FORCED is that she’s the only one we see comforting Tyler after Carol’s death. Even before Carol died, and Tyler was skeptical about being alpha she uplifted him and Tyler heavily respected what she had to say and went full force with it. Mind you, this is the same Tyler that broke every bone in his body just to be with Caroline. Then re-agreed to slavery for Care. Forwood communicated with each other and called out their faults. The other tvdu ships weren’t doing that!—then we get this full arc of Caroline’s grief and remember she bluntly told Tyler to get over the fact that she hooked up with Klaus because of her impulses and she’s not good1!!1

The series wanted to bury Forwood and they did so in the worst ways imaginable. Caroline gets pregnant with Alaric’s babies forcibly. (I understand Candice was pregnant but they could’ve hid her belly so Caroline wasn’t pregnant.)-Oh and we can’t forget Alaric was in love with her and proposed.

Steroline was supposed to follow the friends to lovers build up the way Forwood did and it never appears that Stefan is all in the way Caroline is. Tbh, even before the wedding Stefan wanted out the relationship he tried multiple times to end things in s8. Caroline refused and wanted it to work. Building them up after Liz’s death was a choice. Stefan manipulated Caroline heavily to when it came Tyler and their relationship.

Klaroline has no obstacles to pass with them. Klaus may give Caroline pretty things, and money but emotionally he’s never shown to give Caroline any support. When Caroline saves Bonnie from those 12 witches which is her first huge kill(correct me if I’m wrong) since s2 she immediately goes to Klaus and he basically tells her to get away from him. Klaus mentions how she’s too good for that small town but Caroline had never said she hated her home. What she did hate was Klaus grown ass destroying shit. They never had a serious conversation about anything tbh. I did enjoy how Caroline called him out at first but TO’s “you aren’t the villain in my story.” Ruined that. Oh and lol these shippers get on Damon for his rape of Caroline yet somehow, someway excuses that Klaus attempted to rape Caroline too in Tyler’s body…. Anyways! I do think a lot of Klaroline is rooted in Klaus wanting control over Tyler, and Caroline is a way to exert control over Tyler because of his love for her.

Okay this is long af, sorry! To end this off Tyler loved Caroline for who she was. He never wanted her to change, he valued and respected her. Never abused her or anyone she loved. He listened to what she had to say. Caroline’s other love interests NEVER saw her the way Tyler did. Btw, I wish people understood Tyler never, not once slutshamed Caroline for having sex with someone else. He was only mad that she slept with Klaus as if Klaus did not ruin Tyler’s life and murdered his mother. There’s obviously a reason Caroline didn’t want Tyler to know and continued to ignore the boundaries he placed up in s5 so they could just go back to the way SHE wanted them to be. It’s sad they were ruined because 5B of Forwood has moments where you can forget their broken up just based on Forwood’s chemistry. I forgot to add, some fans pretend Tyler couldn’t give Caroline a good life. Tyler wasn’t financially struggling, and would’ve done anything she asked of him. I think it’s a little problematic that Tyler did say everything he liked about himself was Caroline lol. But, he wanted nothing but her and their happiness. Just without the enslavement from Klaus.

Thank you for the ask!

“Some vampires are actually better than others because some of them feel bad about killing others and some don’t” is suuuch a crazy take on a show about vampires being a murderous species.

Like.

Stefan is better than Damon because Stefan is haunted by his deeds as a ripper when he isn’t a ripper.

And it doesn’t even matter whether or not Damon cares about killing or not, it’s that the entire concept of regret makes no difference (and, ironically, often makes matters worse).

Even if you’re sorry about killing people, they’re all still dead. In fiction likability is more important than morality, I know, I know, but if you are taking a moral stance, why not look at it from a moral perspective?

The interesting thing about Stefan is that I think his ripper-ism stems from his guilt. I think he was a deeply sensitive and guilt-piled person as a human, and as a vampire, it intensified. Additionally, now there is this disgust towards himself, and the guilt for killing his father, and the trauma from Katherine, and the guilt for turning Damon, and it fuels the ripper-ism so so so much. He suppresses these emotions i.e. turns them off, but there is more. The entire addiction, the hunger, I think it comes from the guilt and the shame and the horror.

So the fact that Stefan cares so deeply leads to the fact that he is a serial killer with vampire instincts. He actually killed more people than Damon, and their difference is precisely that Damon cares less.

He is obviously haunted by Katherine and her rejection, by guilt and shame, but significantly less than Stefan, and it manifests differently (I think through sex, in a way, but that is completely unexplored, and I’d be spinning my own stories out of this). There is less guilt to haunt Damon, Damon being a victim, and simultaneously Damon becomes the aggressor in the way Stefan doesn’t — Stefan is a victim of his addiction much more than he’s the perpetrator. So Damon feeds consciously and often without remorse, but there is no guilt to associate with the hunger, so it’s just that — hunger. He eats, he wipes their memory, he forgets. Sometimes, he kills. But it’s always conscious.

That’s repulsive on an idealistic level, of course, and doesn’t add to his general likability, but in the end this quality is what makes him actually, you know, kill less people.

The point is that Stefan isn’t better than Damon, even if Stefan feels bad about being a murderer, he kills more people, and Damon’s carelessness allows him to kill less. Stefan is more of a victim than Damon, but again, irrelevant in the material world.

And that, I think, is the whole tragedy of vampirism and ripper-ism specifically. You can be a victim of it (and all vampires are, one way or another) and it will not save you from being a horrible murderous monster, and the only way out is through suicide.

This duality is what I find thrilling about the Salvatores.

The relation between Stefan eating his dad as the vampire-turning ritual and him being a ripper is a theme for a different discussion but it is soooooo. Idk… brothers karamazov anyone?
