hello, i'm equinox! happy pride month! i'm a disabled intersex trans lesbian who is stabilizing after 6 months of homelessness! i sell jewelry in my ko-fi shop as well as zines and paintings, this is my primary form of income as i am too disabled to work a 'formal' job. i deal with psoriatic arthritis, fibromyalgia, hypermobile ehlers danlos, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other health conditions. i am struggling right now due to the very high temperatures in my area. if you can help, it would mean the world

I feel just awful for Vivziepop because of those leaks. If you are helping spread those leaks, that is just awful and you are not a true fan. They are working hard on this just for y'all to go and do that? That's horrible. I've seen so many spoilers already and it's ruining all the major plot twists for the show. Why are y'all purposely ruining it? Should we be reporting and taking down the leaks instead of spreading them further?!

Phobia Mikey

PhobiaVerse Michelangelo, representative of pyrophobia.

(Despite being the most powerful of his siblings, Mikey is generally the gentlest of the five. His endless optimism that one day, humans will accept them as living, thinking beings is what drives his bale to continue on.)

Jack Stauber gets his signature degraded tape recording sounds and visuals using analog gear and then digitizing the results, which explains why the VHS look is a million times better than the obviously phony VHS filter that comes prepackaged with Adobe that shows up all over youtube nowadays, almost a weird rewriting of history as many younger people’s internal visualization of a VHS recording will be based off a cheap emulation rather than the actual thing. 

I realize this is a silly and hyper specific thing to care about, but it’s something I only recently learned that meant a lot to me and seemingly helped me understand part of what gives Jack’s work the aura of authenticity associated with the less polished look. It wasn’t manufactured, it was created that way, and little details like that stick out as important to me. You might not notice it immediately, but if you were able to remove the degradation from the tapes and if you had recorded these same songs in a professional studios with producers or recorded those same animations in 4k quality, much of the life and warmth and feeling of inherent longing for a time you weren’t even a part of would be stripped away, and those emotions getting evoked is a massive part of why Jack’s material works for me.  

In a larger context, it’s interesting to me how what are considered defects of any given medium at the time, are in hindsight the most charming and valuable thing about it. The needle drop, the hiss of a record, rolling the tape back before returning it, scratched dvds with wildly interactive menus, there is a magic to the tech we create that gets lost in translation, until suddenly it doesn’t. Suddenly you’re listening to a Mac Demarco record for the first time and noticing a strange quality to the sound, then you do a bit of research and discover it’s all in the analog gear he used instead of a digital audio workspace. All of this is not intended to be nostalgia porn, I’m not saying any medium is better than another, and to some degree it’s difficult not to be cynical about an aura of authenticity when it’s deliberately emulated rather than organically lived in, but at the end of the day what matters the most is the effect on the viewer or listener or reader, and that tangible emotional effect is what I’m talking about.

leo tends to define his life with 'before' and 'after.'

there's the big one, of course: life before kraang, and life after the fact. but there's a bunch of smaller ones, too.

this is after splinter, but before casey. it's not a period of time he likes to think about very much.
