#Salt Cover

[saltcover]

As vezes, estas loucuras invadem a vida real

Ontem recebi no meu serviço a visita de um parceiro de negócios do meu local de trabalho. Acompanhado do filho dele que... assiste a Salt Cover. É mole? É raro, mas acontece, rs. No meu antigo serviço, também já trabalhei com uma pessoa que conhecia o canal. Na MTV, Rafael Queiroga disse que conheceu a Salt Cover, inclusive, pelo canal igorcbarros, onde tudo começou, em baixa definição. E teve um evento de fãs de Chaves e Chapolin, que teve a aparição de Sabrina Sato, Zina e Alfinete (do Pânico, ainda na RedeTV!) e quando eu saí, fui surpreendido com pessoas cantarolando Com Quantas Letras Se Escreve Natal.

Man whose entire public image has been crafted by the government: I'm just an authentic guy telling it like it is

Or in the alternative, local man who hasn't processed an emotion in his entire life somehow believes he is in touch with his feelings

[lollipopselfocshipping]

Chat, I can't stop thinking about them.

Two of them (Eternal Sugar and Silent Salt) aren't even out yet.

I'm shaking them semi-violently.

I feel like you can tell who reads and doesnt read poetry by how they took the “dirt under your nails” comment. To me, it immediately read as “we are inseparable” like saying “the salt and the sea” or something. You arent focusing on the pieces individually, but the whole that they form together. AKA, being so close to someone/something that you are forever intertwined.

Its just shocking how many people took it as some kind of dig or insult. Getting your hands dirty symbolizes hard work. Someone that “never gets their hands dirty” is someone that doesnt work hard. Caitlyn WAS the latter, the elite that puts the work on other people. The whole point is that she has changed through work, but also through her relationship with vi.

Also; the phrase is actually pretty common in some regions (usually some alteration of it, anyways). Its been a phrase of affection for a while. Just funny how you can tell a lot about someones background by how they interpret certain phrases

What has always bothered me about Anakin’s massacre of the Tusken village is that beyond the entire premise leading up to it being a blatant send-up of multiple racist caricatures (though to be clear that is a massive problem in and of itself and it shouldn’t be ignored), canon seems to struggle with reconciling its existence with the perception the creators want the audience to have of the characters involved. Other prequel media leans heavily on Anakin being a good -but flawed and troubled- man before his fall, but it’s hard to accept snarky roguish hero Anakin at face value when the troubled past the writers only vaguely allude to includes slaughtering children years before order 66 even happened. Padmé’s commitment to peace and helping those suffering because of the war is clearly meant to be genuine, but again her speeches about liberty and justice start to ring hollow when you remember that she comforted, married, and is complicit in covering up the crimes of a mass murderer.

I don’t exactly think that retconning the tusken massacre out of existence is necessary; a good writer could find a lot of material to work with regarding Anakin��s more unforgivable behaviour, Padmé being willing to compromise her ideals for the sake of people she personally cares about, their surviving loved ones learning and coming to terms with the truth, or how other Tusken communities responded in the aftermath (the sections of BoBF that focused on the Tusken people were a good start, but there’s so much room for more) when Shmi and the Tuskens haunt the narrative of Padmé and Anakin the way they do now. What I do think is that we can’t have it both ways. Either Anakin is a good man on the road to hell, or his slaughter of an entire village happened and needs to be treated with the gravity that his other dark acts are, but the current weird in-between just does more harm than good.

[rookanisstuff]

Huh considering he was stuck in Ossuary do you think Lucanis smelt… salty? Maybe even had crusted salt stuck in his hair, on his skin etc? When Rook found him??

[mitskiluvr]

“akechi doesn’t like joker!!! he tried to kill him!!! he doesn’t like him!!!” okay AND??? obviously YOU don’t understand the homoromanticism of killing the person you’re in love with … don’t make that MY problem

Cover Reveal: The Salt in the Sea by J. D. Rivers

The Salt in the Sea by J. D. Rivers is Duck Prints Press’s next novella release! Meet Thoma and Victor, two men with complex pasts that include a previous bittersweet encounter with each other. The Salt in the Sea is a novella about building a life in the aftermath of disaster, about isolation literal and metaphorical, and about second chances. Oh, yeah, and there’s also a corpse to deal with…

Blurb:

A downtrodden ex-soldier. After leaving the military, werewolf Victor is shunned in his civilian life. Money is tight, so when an ex-comrade offers him an easy job—getting a package from an island—he jumps at the chance. A lost inn-owner. When Selkie Thoma opens the door to a knocking patron, he wants to close it again immediately. Standing before him is Victor, his one-night stand from three years ago. The last thing Thoma wants is to have to explain why he left that night. As Victor and Thoma cross paths unexpectedly, emotions flare anew. But Victor is only on the island for a week, and Thoma can’t face his past, the consequences of his decisions, or the resulting condemnation from his sea-going selkie family. A dead body in a post office. When a corpse is discovered, fingers throughout the community point at Victor. With time running out before justice is served, it’s on Thoma to find out the truth. Because on the island justice is deadly.

Our pre-order crowdfunding campaign for The Salt in the Sea begins April 1st 2025 (no foolin’!), with a minimum goal of $900 US. You can learn more about the campaign, and sign up for our newsletter to make sure you get notified when sales go live!

A maior loucura que eu quase fiz pela Cover, e não foi na fase pós-2010

Por volta de 2009, um colega do meu antigo trabalho iria para os EUA, e muitas pessoas encomendaram que ele fizesse compras diversas. Por muito pouco eu não pedi pra ele comprar um microfone Electrovoice RE 50. O exato microfone de parte dos repórteres do jornalismo da Globo, que também usam Sony, AKG e Beyerdynamic. Um dos que usavam desse microfone era Luiz Fernando Silva Pinto, correspondente em Washington DC. A Globo usa esse modelo desde os anos 70, quando ele ainda era prateado. Bom, se tem imitador do Silvio Santos que vai atrás do Sennheiser MD-405S, porquê não? É, na verdade até hoje só eu pretendi fazer isso. Quaisquer outros grupos de humor que satirizam reportagens de TV usam microfones aleatórios. (O que tem de mais o RE 50? Ele é muito resistente a poeira, umidade e água, além de ser meio grosso, facilitando ser segurado com luvas de frio. Dizem que o apelido desse equipamento é "The Hammer". Preciso pesquisar quantos repórteres usam esse microfone nas famosas coberturas de tempestades e furacões da TV americana onde os repórteres se molham todos.) Embora a EV tenha distribuidor no Brasil, para microfones eles estão mais focados no RE20 (microfone do Emílio Surita no rádio) além de sistemas de alto-falantes (que aí já não me interessam, cansei de PAs, meu antigo emprego só investia nisso...) Embora já tenham estado bem presentes na TV brasileira, com microfones como o RE10 (microfone fixo de palco no SBT, antecedendo microfones gooseneck para a mesma função), RE15 (repórteres da TVS), RE11 ("Papai eu quero me casar"...), PL80 (diversos programas do SBT até 1984 mais ou menos) e outros. Gooseneck é o tipo dos microfones das CPIs em Brasília. A propósito, o RE20 custa DEZ VEZES MAIS do que microfones feitos para PCs, como os HyperX. Essa eles não explicam.

Acho que nunca me preocupei em mostrar esta faixa instrumental da Salt Cover. A versão instrumental da música "Desenho animado, quem foi que te fez" (que por sua vez é uma meia-versão de uma faixa de 'Alladin', se não me engano.) Esta é uma das trilhas que eu mais gostei de ter feito. Sei lá, me senti lá dentro, sendo um diretor da Som Livre ou algo assim, parece uma coisa deles. Mais até do que a fonte Coverface, rs. Melhor do que isso, só se os vocais fossem orgânicos em vez de uma SoundFont :{

Kevin looks like Wymack.

You put them side by side and actually try to pay attention to them, and after a while it's one of those things you can't unsee once you've seen it.

Sure, he has his mother's black hair and dark, intense green eyes. But everything else? Wymack. His tanned skin, his buff, muscular build; his face structure, with big eyebrows and strong nose and deep set eyes and full lips; his hands and ears and his wavy hair, too, even if Wymack doesn't keep it as long anymore.

If Kevin let his beard grow, all you'd see would be Wymack, if a little to the left; younger, with different colors and a bit more hair. No wrinkles or white hairs, just yet.

If you saw pictures of a younger Wymack, all you'd see would be Kevin. Kevin, with brown hair and brown eyes, the same wavy hair, if a little longer, maybe. This is specially true the younger you go. You put pictures of them as children and the grainy and faded quality of David's makes them look like the exact same kid. All the way down to similar mole placements.

Well. Except two of them.

Two small moles. Sitting one right next to the other, at the corner of Kevin's left eye. Those were Kayleigh's. They were one of Wymack's favourite places to kiss her.

It's been so long nearly nobody remembers he had them in the first place. But Kevin remembers. Kevin could never forget.

Riko used to say they were the perfect placement, back when they were still kids and would use markers to doodle the numbers on their faces. He would use them as guidelines, putting each line of the roman numeral over each mole. Riko liked them because then they would always know where to put the mark and he could use them as a reference for his own.

He also liked to joke, telling Kevin all about how they were a sign. A sign that everything was always meant to be like this, a sign that Kevin was always meant to be his second.

Kevin didn't exactly know how to feel about that. He didn't mind the idea of tattoos that much, but he felt odd whenever he looked at a mirror and couldn't see his mother's moles. Alas, it made Riko happy, and if Riko was happy, then Kevin had to be, too. If he tried hard enough, he could even convince himself that his mother would be proud. After all, it meant he was one of the best in the game, and wasn't that a good thing? All people had to do was look at his face and they would know immediately.

And anyways, it was just marker. It would fade eventually and his moles would still be there.

Except.

Then it wasn't just marker anymore, was it? It was ink. Permanent, at the corner of his left eye. Each line of the roman numeral forever covering each mole. The perfect placement, the perfect guidelines. A sign.

And it wasn't like they were the only connection he had with her, the only thing left behind.

He still had his mother's eyes. He still had his mother's hair. He still had Exy and her drive and her passion and her legacy and all the expectations that came with it.

And yet he was also aware that none of those things could ever truly replace her. That doesn't mean he didn't try, though.

Therefore, when he lost the moles, as small as they were, he couldn't help but feel as though he was loosing a key part of himself. That the space inside of him, the one with her exact shape, the one left empty by her death, the one he's spent his entire life desperately trying to fill with all the ill-fitting things she left behind, sat a little bit emptier now.

So, yeah. It's been a long time, but Kevin remembers.

Now, having a Queen instead might not be as good as having his moles back, but this, at the very least, he doesn't need convincing to know his mother would be proud of.

This, at the very least, doesn't feel as empty.

Ed Teach does in fact have a head of smoke, it's just tobacco smoke floating around him as he smokes his pipe and watches Stede Bonnet sleeping with the utmost of care.

And he also does have red eyes (heart eyes) that burn with love and passion as he gazes adoringly at Stede at all times.

Okay, MAJOR SALT COMING! Also a long post!

So I have the Disney Villains tarot deck but before I go into the salt part of the post, let's go into the positives.

The cards have stunning art and each card is appropriately themed to the villain generally speaking about 98% of the time. (IMO).

Another positive is the roster of villains included. Seeing even a few minor/underrated villains is pretty cool and impressive.

Some examples of these villains include Bowler Hat Guy, Madame Mim, Madame Medusa, and possibly Yzma.

Now onto the salt.

As impressive as the span of villains is, two villains are absent who (IMO) deserved a card.

King Candy

Frollo

First, there are other villains absent, but I'm sticking to these two since I've seen these movies. Now going in order, it is an absolute SHAME (IMO) that King Candy doesn't have a card, but I have an idea of which card suits him best.

The King of Swords. Although this card is given to Scar, and I do love how it looks, I believe that King Candy deserved it.

Plus, Scar appears on like three other cards, so I think it's okay for him to appear three times (sorry Scar, I do love you too).

Anyway, I'm going to go into some detail as to why I believe King Candy/Turbo deserves the card by going into the meaning of it and how it relates to him.

I'll admit, I have a lot of points and can talk about this for days, but I'm going to condense them to 3-ish. I'll do the same for Frollo too in a part 2 post.

Going for a two in one here: The card is about being an authority who uses reason and their intelligence for good. while the reverse of this is being cunning to deceive people.

After Turbo hijacked Sugar Rush, he was very methodical about his approach to make it sound like he's their rightful ruler. He locked up their memories, then he fabricated the lie that she was a danger to their game. Turbo did his best to make sure nothing went unchecked and made sure to make the lie sound convincing to protect them (but mostly him). He's very strategic, and was able to come up with a plan to manipulate Ralph with 16 manipulation tactics in one go. He was even able to feign being concerned to play on Ralph's attachment to Vanellope.

I think the best line that best captures this aspect of the card is "Doing what's right, no matter what." AKA: He recognizes that it may sound harsh, but he makes his lies sound reasonable to protect his subjects and game.

The card also represents enjoying structure when upright. But it's controlling and oppressive in a need for order when reversed.

Turbo needs everything to be to be going his way, as he's a control freak.

Inserting the test animation here, he even says "You are a threat to my game, to the order I have maintained. And if there's one thing I can't abide, it's anything out of order!"

Also, the split-second something isn't in his control, he starts to fumble and break into either rage or nervously laughing. He's capable of coming off as cool and composed, but he's scared of being caught and it can cause him to lash out in anger (another aspect of the card).

Just as mentioned in the previous point, he made sure nothing went unchecked and made an entire world literally revolve around him. He can and WILL happily use all of his resources of excessive force he has like the cops, the Sugar Rush equivalent of S.W.A.T., and the fungeon to detain someone who stands in his way.

As a minor note, there's a line in the tarot guidebook that states the reverse of the card can represent "someone who needs to win at any cost." Which describes Turbo to a T. He not only wants attention but he's also extremely competitive. It's part of his programming, and it ties to his love for racing. To always come out on top and be #1. No matter who or what stands in his way.

That core drive (pun intended) was the cause of his villainy in the first place and earned him his infamous status in the arcade.

Okay, I don't want to sound too salty, but you can imagine my disappointment when King Candy didn't get a card.

Oh well, Its fine, I still love and use this deck.

So I guess we can call this the thrilling conclusion to the 3 part saga of including King Candy in Disney Villain merchandise.

Also as a sidenote: hypothetically if he did get this card, what would the imagery be?

I feel the card has the potential to get creative with the glitch effects. For example make it so that he's glitching between the Turbo appearance and the King Candy appearance. If we want to be a little cheeky, we could have it set in his castle, and out the window, we see a the cybug Ralph initially sent to SR flying outside a castle window. (similar to Hook's card as the crocodile is seen outside)

So basically, my interpretation would be a mix of these images and Captain Hook's card:

But, if anyone else has really cool ideas, I'd love to hear them! If you want, you could also draw it out to illustrate your point (pun intended) Honestly please do, I'd love to see other people's interpretations of this card for him. The possibilities are endless!

Join me in my antics next time when I analyze Frollo and and the card I think he should've gotten.
