#THE CUBE

[human837]

Why I love the big grey cube

The cube starts very uniform and rather out of place as it seems just I bit odd to the audience.

But as it gets ripped apart it becomes clear to the audience how it is just a collection if blocks that are used by the characters to play pretend.

This shows Marvin's attempt to control everyone by viewing life as a game and trying to get everyone to play along to his delusional view on life.

After Meldal is engaged to Trina, he tries to draw her out of the fictional world Marvin has created by physically moving Marvin's blocks and fighting with him in 'a tight-knit family reprise'

As trina breaks free from Marvin's childish world, more props are introduced on stage to signal her newfound freedom from him. She gets to move into her new life with Meldal, and u see them decorate their house together (which is incredibly sweet).

The second act starts with a set made from the cubes arranged in a dolls House like formation as if Marvin will continue living in him fauls reality.

But Marvin himself tears down the formation just before 'its about time' to show how he's developed and is awhere that he can't live life as if its a game.

In the second act it is clear that all the characters are living in reality instead of playing Marvin's pretend both due to the important topics Charrlotte is trying to fight for and the increased use of props spread out across the stage.

(I love their little house plant collection)

When Whizzer gets ill, the set completely shifts to be highly realistic with no use of the grey blocks at all. This shows how Marvin can't ignore things anymore and has to face Whizzers health.

RLDR: The set is amazing. I love it so much!

Day 5 of drawing CR PCs in Halloween Costumes. Today we have:

Scanlan as Jareth the Goblin King!

Goblins are scary and so are those tights

the cube is my favourite set design EVER it represents the family and its complicated pieces and how hard it is to put it back together after being pulled apart. they only start to use real props after whizzer gets ill, showing the reality of his illness. in falsettoland reprise the cube is rebuilt but they use one of the pieces at whizzer’s tombstone, basically saying that the family will never be complete without him.

Not sure about the other two but thats a grammy. and Scanlan is anatomically uh cubular

Images and spreads from my own little zine, "The Facility". Players take on the roles of amnesiac test subjects attempting to escape a bizarre, labyrinthine megastructure.

I'm not much for writing, but there was a Portal/Cube shaped hole in the gaming world, and I felt compelled to fill it. The truth is, I'm rather proud of this little oddball, every page number is also an entry on the scavenging table, allowing players to build ramshackle weird science devices. They'll need them too, as the game also provides a series of increasingly dangerous robot nemeses to hunt them.

I could have written another 20 pages of liminal locations and black-hole shooting guns, but this one was already pushing the page limit for a proper zine.

Wait it would be messed up if the cube had like the heart of leola (IT COULD HAPPEN LIKE THE STARTOUCH ELVES ARE SERIOUSLY DISTURBED) and aaravos's heart is just Somewhere Else and he wants the cube back so bad because that's His Daughter's Heart

Thought I’d give my sketchbook app a little more attention, so here ya go.

Wander waving, Peepers being himself, Hater scowling, Sylvia sleeping and Dominator just being bored. Also a cameo from the Cube.

And of course, a lot of #savewoy, cause hopefully that’s still a thing.
