#tw flashing lights#tw blood#tw death#creepypasta#pokemon#pokemon creepypasta#missingno#lavender town#lumiose ghost girl#lost silver#animation meme#my art#pokepasta#halloween#horror art#artists on tumblr#im not really a creepypasta fan in general?? i only care about the pokemon themed ones. idk why#i look back at pokepastas with the same endearment as like. halloween specials. or 1930s universal monster movies??#of course its partly the nostalgia of growing up reading them and genuinely being scared-#but also i still enjoy them for how charmingly wacky and over the top they'd get sometimes. hyper-realistic blood eyes my beloveds

It is a stupidly big deal to me that Morro returned to the Monastery of spinjitzu during DOTD. He didn't go back there for all of Possession, but finally, even after it had been burned down and despite the fact that he is a ghost/mannequin with the clock ticking he still went home to Wu and to the Monastery. He even only went back after finding the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master like he said he would and all the terrible things thereafter. Why am I so torn up about this what is happening
#morro ninjago#ninjago#i know. i promise I know it was for plot reasons#but in my mind#HE CAME HOME. FINALLY HE WENT HOME#IT TOOK DESTROYING A TOWN AND SUMMONING AN ELDRITCH HORROR AND DYING TWICE BUT HE DID#a scene is just playing over and over again in my head#where it cuts from young Morro defiantly walking out and down the steps#to ghost Morro defeatedly walking up and back through the burnt doorframe#welcome to my overanalysis of a special most people don't even like. im having a great time#sketti rambles

The Specials - “Ghost Town” (1981)
Forty-three years ago today, on June 12, 1981, The Specials released “Ghost Town”. Hailed as a major piece of social criticism, the song was released at a time of strife both within the band and throughout England, as rioting over unemployment, police violence, and racial discrimination was occurring in London and other population centers. The last song recorded by the original seven members of the band, “Ghost Town” spent three weeks at #1 and 11 weeks in the top 40 of the UK singles chart.

I was just listening to Ghost town by The Specials and I swear to god there's a Gorillaz song that samples it, it just sounds so familiar there's no way that there isn't. Please let me know Gorillaz community 🙏🙏🙏

i think what the cyberbunk 2077 and the r/synthwave crowd miss about the aesthetic of cyberpunk in general is the urban decay of american cities in the late 70s/80s. Everything has to suck, it cant just be glass towers and neon
#robocop and the warriors gets it#social issues and societal hitches will always read as more cyberpunk then any amount of augmnetations and VR#if i was feeling argumentative id also say the video for ghost town by the specials falls in this catagory#bc its a very loud reflection of thatcherite england and captures the mood of the time very well

The other day at work I met a guy that knew what eddsworld was, he was in a rush but he said he worked at Dominos and if I just tell the cashier "it's the eddsworld girl" he'll hook me up with a pizza
I forgot which Dominos he worked at
#ghost town by tge specials was playing and he was excited that i knew them#and when i admitted it was obky because of a show called eddsworld he was even more excited#saying newgrounds was his shit when he was a kid
