sing a little louder for the ghosts to hear can ya
Design notes:
I knew Mizi would be the centerpiece from the get go, since she’s the star of the show (main character and allat) but I also wanted to balance the other characters depending on how important they were or if they operated within the system or not.
For example, ivan&till do break the rules in their rounds but remain entrenched within the system, except ivan… yk… tragic pride month and allat means he can break out a little.
Luka is firmly within the box, as are all the other contestants. Hyuna has escaped, so most of her is outside the box, the dark side and black horse of the stage. Sua is in the background because I guess this poster takes place after Round 1, idk, the dead aren’t costars
Kinda wanted to give Mizi that Virgin Mary glow effect since she’s so dear and even worshipped by the others
Till and his lighting was very difficult, I wanted him to be like Ivan’s candle? But also having some light reflected from Mizi. Hard to balance
not caring too much about a fandom’s favourite guy is the worst. you’ll think “oh i’ll look into the tag see if anything new and cool’s there” and it’s just that fucking guy again
EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt
>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on
>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members
>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on
i just remembered this British backpacking youtuber wanker who went to chechnya (he straight up said it like "chech-nyar") and he was getting a taxi ride and complimenting the car and saying it meant the guy was rich and this Chechen guy was like "you've come here from England and can pay for taxi rides, you are rich. I'm literally a taxi driver" and the guy got so fucking huffy about it because his whole brand was how low cost tourism he was. really helped cement my dislike for cunts who go to a much poorer country, start acting like they're in and savvy with the locals (while gentrifying their eating spots etc) and getting all white guilty about their position as a tourist with money in a strong currency with strong wages. what a cunt.
