Make Me Your Villain character bios

Masterlist link here (has summary and all chapters linked)

Here are the most developed characters of the series. If I add or further develop any characters, I will add them to this sheet.

Liam Ward: at the start of the story, Liam is a young eighteen year old apprentice to Hiraethian’s superhero, Jude. By the conclusion of the story, Liam is thirty-three and no longer the apprentice he once was, but the Hiraethian’s villain. Liam is tall, sometimes described as gangly, and lean. He is not physically imposing, but he is strong. Liam is often described as pale, with a sprinkling of golden freckles across his skin. His longish blond hair is something he uses to hide behind at times, retreating from the world behind his curtain of hair. He has the palest of blue eyes, like the lightest shade of blue in the sky at dawn. His eyes are the first thing anyone notices about his face. Liam’s powers include teleportation, both of himself, others and objects, and controlling/manipulation/wielding of shadows. While his greatest strength is his combination of powers and he can also physically overpower his opponents, Liam thinks through his actions very carefully. When in doubt, he consults the research and archives to gain the information he knows. Liam’s home and work space is called the Haven and is about an hour’s drive outside of Hiraethian. Liam is the story’s male lead.

Jude Morse: Jude is about 30 years old—Liam is never quite sure how old his mentor is—at the beginning of the story, and by its conclusion, he is about 45. He is the town’s much beloved superhero. Jude has mud colored hair and eyes and is very tan. As he ages, his hair becomes streaked with grey. At the beginning of the story, he is in peak physical condition and is very, very muscular; but by the conclusion, he has begun to go soft around the edges as he can’t maintain the body of his youth. Jude is a siphon of sorts—in the series the power is called a soul-sucker—in that he can take on other powers. Powers we see Jude manifest throughout the series include: flying, super strength, super speed (can appear to teleport but does not actually teleport), electricity, fire, ice, manipulation of time, and being able to cut/wound from a distance/without touching his opponent. Jude is willing to research, but his go to is to delegate and integrate the information he is given with what he already knows. Jude’s home, Sluagh, is located at Hiraethian's center, not far from city hall or police headquarters. Jude is the story’s antagonist.

Henry Harlin: Henry is 18 at the time of his first appearance, and is 31 at the story’s conclusion. Henry keeps his black hair short and cut close to his head. His eyes are brown. He is shorter and stocky. He is very, very strong. While Henry isn't gifted with any super powers, he has had family members have powers. Henry becomes Liam’s best friend and lives at the Haven with Liam. Henry is Liam’s eyes and ears about town. He is more than happy to join Liam and Nova researching how to defeat their opponents, but he is also happy to see to the runnings of the Haven instead. He oversees any and all missions that Liam or Nova run.

Nova Ambrose: Nova is 22 at the time of her first appearance, and 27 by the story’s conclusion. She is taller with golden skin and amber eyes. Nova is always dying her hair bright colors and her hair color will be different at each chapter. Nova has a rare ability as a healer, and she is a very powerful one at that. Not only can she heal herself of any wound with her healing light, but she can also extend her healing to others. She can sense if someone needs to be healed as well. Nova has a quick reaction time and usually follows Liam’s lead. She is the story’s female lead.

Born and raised on the island of Patch, and attended Signal. Leana has social yearnings but an introverted nature, preferring to hunt on her own rather than socialize conventionally.

Weapons

Taran-Nuada

Forms: Baton (storage), spear, rifle

Ammunition: Dust rounds

The silver arm of the king of storms. The gun component, optimized for lightning-dust rounds, is located in the butt end of the staff, allowing it to be fired in melee form and for the hooked spear blade to be used as a bayonet in rifle form.

Hyperborean Divide

Forms: Dual machine pistols, dual shot-batons, quarterstaff

Ammunition: Hard-light Dust

A complex weapon partly inspired by that of a certain Mistralian tournament champion. Internal mechanisms regulate rate of fire in proportion to the weapon’s current melee capacity, resulting in slower but more powerful shots as the weapon assumes larger forms.

Crimson Shadow

Forms: Chain dart

Ammunition: None

A black metal chain dart with curious Aura-conductive properties, uniquely suited to a certain Semblance. Also useful as a close-range melee weapon and for entangling opponents.

Vernal Call

Forms: Straight dagger

Ammunition: None

A black metal dagger, identical to the blade of Crimson Shadow. Can be thrown once or used as a secondary weapon in melee.

Sunbreaker

Forms: Short sword, fangtian ji

Ammunition: None

An oddly shaped short sword that extends into a truly impressive polearm; however, it lacks ranged capability unless wielded in conjunction with a certain Semblance.

False Promise

Forms: Hilt (storage), short sword (jian)

Ammunition: Gravity Dust (Internal)

A single weapon optimized for use with an unusual Semblance and fighting style.

Sol Verdict

Forms: Single-edged greatsword with collapsible blade

Ammunition: Burn Dust explosive slugs

A massive sword with a small reverse-oriented grenade launcher built into the hilt and base. The long blade can fold down for easier use of the firearm.

Accuser & Defender

Forms: Dual shotgun-axes

Ammunition: Dust cartridges, Dust slugs

Twin weapons designed for brutal efficacy and simple maintenance. 

Lunar Echo

Forms: Baton (storage), quarterstaff, compound bow

Ammunition: None

A simple, versatile weapon designed for use with its bearer’s Semblance, although not much help to anyone else who might attempt to wield it.

Semblances

Stormcaller

Rank: B

Damage Type: Electricity, Anti-Army

An affinity for the generation and manipulation of electricity from one’s Aura. Although it can be used directly, the strength of this Semblance lies in its versatility, allowing the user to augment their physical movement and attacks rather than being a purely destructive tool.

Prismatic Aegis

Rank: B+

Damage Type: Kinetic, Anti-Army (Self)

The ability to project palm-sized hexagonal crystals that can withstand significant damage. In their base manifestation, these panes appear in a dome around the user, although with practice they can be used to entrap an opponent or given velocity and used as projectiles, although this is more Aura-intensive.

Inverse Shadow

Rank: C

Damage Type: Ether, Anti-Unit (Self)/Anti-Unit

An assassin’s Semblance, given to a noble-hearted young woman. One aspect allows the user to step out of physical existence momentarily, appearing from the outside to “teleport,” although this is inaccurate from the user’s perspective. The other utilizes the same liminal perspective to drain the Aura of an antagonist who has been immobilized by appropriate means.

Dawnblade

Rank: A

Damage Type: Fire, Anti-Army

The power to generate flames through one’s weapon. Although somewhat restrictive in its means of use, this is a Semblance with almost unparalleled destructive capacity; it drains Aura very little when used efficiently, allowing for well-timed power attacks without inflicting rapid exhaustion.

Excelsior Solar: The full-scale, maximum-intensity form of attack this Semblance makes possible, unleashing a torrent of flames over a wide area that can destroy even powerful common-type Grimm.

Armamentarium

Rank: B

Damage Type: Kinetic, Anti-Unit

The power to project copies of any worn or carried object. These projections are given form by the user’s Aura but do not drain it continuously; however, a small amount of Aura is sacrificed as long as a given object remains in existence. The effects of Dust imbued into a copied object may also be utilized.

Luminosity

Rank: A

Damage Type: None, Anti-Unit (Self)

A Semblance that makes the user an unconquerable beacon, able to withstand any attack or strike through any defense for the moment that it persists, although the user will suffer Aura loss afterwards in proportion to the damage sustained.

Hearthstone

Rank: D

Damage Type: None, Anti-Unit

An item-creation ability that allows the user to link an object to a place of safety, creating an emergency teleportation key. The effect persists until used, but destroys the object on activation; additionally, the bound location must be one the user personally considers a refuge, although the effect will not wear off or alter if that location later ceases to be considered safe.

Soul Arrow

Rank: A++

Damage Type: Ether, Anti-Fortress

A power for creating ammunition from the strength of one’s soul. The more spiritual energy is put into a manifested projectile, the more powerful the attack will be; therefore, one can use a projectile weapon without concern for physical ammunition, but Aura will be depleted more quickly.

Resolution of the Falling Star - Celestial Catastrophe: The true ‘ultimate attack’ that can be achieved with the full strength of Soul Arrow, capable of slaying a dragon in a single shot. However, the amount of power required is equivalent to the user’s maximum supply of Aura.

[blurrymango]

Blogs they would have:

Blitz: Hard guro + intense porn and hentai + lots of political arguments. Gets banned a lot and keeps coming back. Hated among people he even agrees with. Super edgy and aggressive on purpose. Occasional fandom blogger.

Sydel: Fanfiction writer, specifically of the 'x reader' variety. Has certain fandoms she generally sticks to and most of the time her writing doesn't get too intense, but occasionally comes out of left field with something quite weird. Well respected among others and has a professional attitude.

Apollo: Art blogger. Posts very rarely, doesn't use tags and rarely responds to things. She's just really afraid of getting death threats despite her art being generally unproblematic. Gets tons of notes.

Artimes: Cosplay blogger, mostly. Tons of pictures of her motorcycle and random photos of places she comes across in her drives. Link to her PayPal in her bio. Her cosplays are EXTREMELY high quality.

Maria: Leftist, scenecore and fandom blogger. Draws a lot of fanart for dark fandoms and has an atrocious DNI on every art post. Makes a lot of posts about different concoctions and potions she makes. Will hit you out of nowhere with a bunch of photos of her gun collection.

Natalie: Claims to be an art blog, hasn't posted art in forever. Mostly reblogging cute anime panels and photos of animals. Reblogs so much cutesy stuff but also is so very aggressive and uses an unnecessary amount of cusswords.

Amber: Conspiracy blogger. A lot of them are deranged and completely insane, some of them are believable. Completely sincere and genuine. Not even mean just batshit insane.

Ty: Meme reposter, hates Tumblr. Enough said.

Charlie: A little bit of everything. Mostly runs on a queue. Unless she's drunk then she's doing discourse and venting hardcore.

CC: Aesthetic blogger. Dark acedemia and cottagecore and whatever other bullshit aesthetics these types like. People think she's a tradwife, but she doesn't like the political connotations of that.

Nova: Blocked by most people and keeps getting banned for breaking so many rules. Similar to Blitz except she goes out of her way to doxx and harrass people at random.

Φlaumen Cooperative (Lisp-y style guide ref, part 1...)

Spooktober Day 10 “The house is not haunted”

You can find my masterlist in my bio!

I thoroughly enjoy writing the Clemence siblings when they are young. This fic does include Nova! Tagging my partner in crime: @plumpblueberry

The eldest Clemence didn’t lift his head at the pair whispering and peeking through the crack in his door. The hour much too late for the two to be awake, yet they were there. Jonah continued pretending to read the book settled between his hands, sitting propped up against his headboard.

“You saw it too!” The girl whispered, pushing her hands against Luka’s side to usher him in first.

“I- did not,” Luka replied, his reply lacking confidence. Whatever had brought them to this room would surely be ridiculous. With a sigh, he added, “I don’t know what I saw!”

The lights flickered, a storm rolling in from the east. Bad ones could bring a lot of electricity and effected the crystals in the light fixtures. Nova gave a light shriek, ducking past her brother to scramble into the room in front of her.

“Jonah!” The bed creaked as she climbed up and practically dove into his arms. She snuggled up against him, giving a breath of relief.

His book fell aside, knocked away from the impact. “What is the meaning of this?” Jonah asked, amber eyes moving from his sister’s to his brother’s, back and forth. He studied their nervous expressions.

Luka had shuffled in after Nova, not willing to be left alone in the darkened hallway. He rubbed his hands together, porcelain cheeks brushed with a hint of pink. “Nova got scared.”

The girl’s head turned. “You did too, Luka!” Accusation in her tone only made the tension between them thicken. Her gaze widened rose up to the elder boy, voice lowered significantly as if speaking the words too loudly would bring bad fortune. “We saw the ghost in the kitchen.”

Her words brought a soft frown to Jonah’s features. This again? “Nova, the house is not haunted. There are no ghosts.” He’d believed this issue to be resolved since she’d gotten a bit older but it seemed he’d been incorrect. 

“Luka saw it too!”

“Did he?” Jonah asked, seeing the boy inching closer when he thought no one was watching. The pair at 10 and 6, should have old enough to leave such childish nonsense behind. Yet, he had to admit they were both so cute when scared.

Luka scratched his cheek with his index finger. “I don’t know what I saw. It could have been the moonlight-”

“The moon isn’t out! The sky is cloudy!”

As their bickering began to pick back up again, Jonah clapped his hands together to silence them. “How about you both sit down and I’ll tell you a story to help you sleep?” His proposition getting a mutual agreement from the younger two.

Luka settled on the opposite side of Jonah, sitting criss-cross, and Nova slipped under the covers before resting back against him. When both were ready, Jonah began to tell a story, one that they’d heard dozens of times. A princess, amnesia, and a white rose. A fairy tale that always kept the two engrossed until the very end.

As Jonah’s soft voice approached the happy ending, their breathing had turned even. One sibling on either side, both had their eyes closed and were sleeping soundly. He brushed his hands through their hair, finishing out with the cliched ending with a smile on his lips. “And they lived happily ever after.”

Careful not to wake them, Jonah turned the lamp off. He’d barely even laid down when both Luka and Nova scooted into his sides. Nova hugged his arm tightly, giving a soft whine of content. Luka rested his cheek against Jonah’s side, arm slung over his stomach.

“What am I going to do with you two?” Jonah whispered, chuckling lightly. Despite not believing their home to be haunted by ghosts, he was grateful for whatever had brought them into his room that night. As their protector, he’d gladly endure an uncomfortable night’s sleep for this chance to be their safe haven. Jonah laid awake a little while longer simply to watch them sleep. The two a most adorable sight to behold.

[EBOOK GRATUITO - 01.08.2020] O livro O Tenente - Um espião, um amor, uma escolha da autora @nathanyteixxeira está disponível gratuitamente na Amazon. LINK: https://amzn.to/2XcMWwH SINOPSE: Amber é uma jovem e corajosa veterinária que leva uma vida pacata na pequena cidade de Lancaster. O que ela não sabia era que toda aquela tranquilidade estava prestes a mudar. Ao sair para uma corrida em uma trilha na floresta, ela se deparou com um homem em seu caminho. Era como ver um ser celestial ferido. O que aconteceu para que os anjos começassem a cair do céu? Tyler Black era conhecido como Tenente. Um dos maiores espiões do governo dos Estados Unidos. Seu foco era o trabalho e sua confiança estava depositada apenas na arma que carregava consigo aonde fosse e, mais uma vez, ela era sua única amiga enquanto ele despencava no meio do nada. Entre a tentativa de sobreviver e revelar quem traiu a sua organização sob seu comando, ele se vê cercado por um par de olhos azuis-turquesa. Sua vida estava nas mãos de uma mulher desconhecida, pequena e irritada, mas de beleza singular, similar a de uma fada e capaz de enlouquecer qualquer homem são. O Tenente foi treinado para resistir a qualquer tipo de pressão, interrogatório e tortura, mas não estava preparado para enfrentar os sentimentos que aquele olhar doce causava em seu peito. Um homem que acreditava ter seu destino final traçado, começa a descobrir que pode existir uma nova vida, uma nova escolha... mas a que preço? Ela não sabia, mas uma bomba prestes a explodir estava entrando na sua vida... um explosivo coberto por cicatrizes e dono dos olhos amendoados mais atraentes que poderiam existir. Ele fez uma promessa, mas não sabia se conseguiria cumprir. Sua única certeza era que tentaria, mesmo que aquilo custasse a sua vida. PARA ACESSAR OS LIVROS: 1. CLIQUE NO LINK NA BIO, 2.

As 20 melhores propagandas de 2018 [+EXTRAS]

Um criativo sem referências não é nada, então que tal ter as referências criativas mais incríveis do mundo?!

A nossa lista de melhores campanhas do ano chegou e novamente digo que está melhor do que nunca, com direito a agências e marcas brasileiras que provam o enorme poder dos designers gráficos e publicitários para o Brasil e o mundo. Sim, somos um mercado fechado e pequeno, mas potencial não nos falta!

Mas quem decide os vencedores..? Você, é claro!

Critério de Avaliação

A lista foi feita graça ao Instagram do Temporal Cerebral, onde milhares de pessoas como você votam em suas propagandas / publicidades favoritas diariamente.

Quase sempre as imagens com mais likes são as vencedoras, porém há uma ressalva: eu puno aquelas nas quais a criatividade foi o de menos.

Exemplo: artes criticando Trump e Dilma disparam em votos mesmo não tendo nada de especial já que mexem com as emoções das pessoas. O mesmo vale para uma imagem de um bichinho ferido, por exemplo, por isso desenvolvi uma fórmula para diminuir os pontos delas embora isso nem sempre baste para tirá-las da lista. (#Spoiler)

Ah, o meu gosto pessoal tem impacto mínimo nessa lista e se limita a desempates em 99% dos casos, por isso pode ir sem medo que aqui só estão os melhores!

As melhores campanhas de 2018 (primeiro semestre);

As melhores campanhas de 2017;

As melhores campanhas de 2016.

Campanha do Subway de 30 centímetros [Hors-Concours]

“Our Subs have 12 inches even when it’s cold outside.”

Começamos com uma propaganda norte-americana que descobrimos no último dia do ano e que bombou ao ponto de ultrapassar a maioria das campanhas nesse post!

Eu só a deixei como hors-concours pois me parece ter sido algo local e muito informal / zoeiro, por isso achei inapropriado avaliá-la como os trabalhos mais “sérios” do resto da lista… 

(Se computássemos os votos, teríamos o sexto lugar!)

Campanha da ETH Foundation — Einstein Entregador de Pizza [20]

“Mentes brilhantes não devem se perder trabalhando para estudar.”

A ironia dessa campanha é que o Einstein trabalhava em um escritório da patentes full-time quando propôs suas primeiras teorias, logo a real é que mentes realmente brilhantes não são afetadas por part-time jobs, hahaha…

Mas o conceito continua sendo genial e eu concordo 100% que nin-guém! deveria trabalhar durante a faculdade. : )

Agência Ruf Lanz

Campanha da Lavera Cosméticos — Inspiração Animal [19]

“A inspiração é o único uso que fazemos dos animais.”

Agência Rabarba

Campanha do Café Buriteco — Óculos de Xícaras[18]

“Tirar um cochilo ou tomar um cafezinho?”

O Buriteco Café é uma das poucas campanhas brasileiras desse ano graças à simplicidade irresistível de sua arte. Se você for de São Luís (Maranhão), parabenize-os pessoalmente por nós! = )

Agência Phocus

Campanha “Jurassic Host” da Infinite [HC]

Não deixe seu site em tecnologias pré-históricas.

Essa campanha da Infinite tinha estrelado a lista de meio de ano graças ao seu alcance, porém o prognóstico atual é ainda melhor: as vendas aumentaram e o número de visitantes vem batendo recordes até hoje!

Incrível como uma brincadeira combinada com um pouco de design gráfico pode impulsionar negócios, não é mesmo?

Agência Siskin & Verbran

Campanha das Panelas Anti-Aderentes Ammeloo [17]

“Não deixe a panela roubar sua comida.”

Eu particularmente achei essa série de artes um nojo. mas como é vocês que determinam os vencedores…

Agência Amber (China)

Campanha das Facas Miyabi — Salmão Diamante [16]

Sua comida vira uma joia rara com as facas Miyabi.

Essa é uma daquelas artes que se sairia muito melhor case fosse mais óbvia. É importante ter em mente que o público leigo não foi treinado para pescar brincadeiras visuais como essa, por isso todo ano vejo dezenas de comentários de incompreensão pelo Temporal Cerebral.

No caso da arte acima, isso poderia ter sido resolvido acentuando as linhas do diamante ou apenas tornando o texto mais claro e menos discreto, assim algumas pessoas não teriam a ignorado ou visto um pião rosa, por exemplo.

Isso é importante pois sempre estou vendo artes de repercussão pífia ganharem prêmios, mas fica a pergunta: as publicidades são pensadas para painéis de especialistas ou pro público-alvo que está na rua?!

Se quem tá na rua não curtiu, premiar tal campanha é tão estúpido quanto declarar um time perdedor campeão porque um jogador fez um gol bonito. Não mendigue clareza: todo job deve ser óbvio a não ser que o seu briefing indique o contrário!

Agência Herezie Group

Campanha contra Alzheimer — Memória Quebra-Cabeças [15]

“Peça a peça, o Alzheimer some com sua memória.”

A Alzheimer Research Initiative ilustrou de forma genial como a mal de Alzheimer embaralha a mente das vítimas e torna até o reconhecimento de um parente uma tarefa hercúlea. =(

Agência Superhumans

Campanha do Salón Erótico de Barcelona Apricots [HC]

https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FAriAreia%2Fvideos%2F895166533971539%2F&show_text=0&%20width=

“Vivemos num país hipócrita.”

Essa é uma campanha de 2016 que eu só fui conhecer esses dias, porém ela é tão real e in-your-fucking-face que merece destaque aqui por não ter sido honrada no post daquele ano.

Agência Vinema

Campanha da United Cooling — Picolé Derretido [14]

Sistema de refrigeração United Cooling.

Agência Trozzolo

Campanha de Adoção da Santa Alianza [13]

“Milhares de crianças esperam mais de 7 anos para conhecerem seus pais.”

Essa arte encabeçou a lista do primeiro semestre, porém agora ficou apenas com o décimo terceiro lugar… Lamentei muito já que o assunto é de extrema relevância! Merecia mais… não?

Agência Sancho BBDO

Campanha da WWF — Gato-Leopardo em Gestalt [12]

“Ajude a proteger o Leopardo Asiático.”

O Leopardo Asiático se parece com um gatinho doméstico e é justamente esse um dos motivos que estão o levando à extinção.  Mas por que a montanha?!

É que a espécie foi praticamente extinta das áreas montanhosas do Cáucaso, local onde deveria ser abundante, por isso a World Wildlife Fund brincou com a Gestalt colocando a cabeça de um Gato-Leopardo numa bela montanha.

Agência Possible

Campanha Vencedora do Grand Pix de Cannes, Follow the Arches do McDonald’s [HC]

“Siga os arcos.”

Esse campanha 3 Leões e só não ficou com o primeiro lugar aqui pois não é um cartaz. Porém o Mc não precisa ficar triste já que…

Agência Cossette Toronto

Campanha da Pekao Fresh Market [11]

“Qualquer escolha é uma boa escolha.”

A Pekao tem frutos do mar tão frescos que é como se o próprio salmão se fatiasse para o prato do cliente! (Mas, novamente, mendigaram clareza na arte…)

Agência Cazard DDB

Campanha do Burger King — Melhor com Fogo [10]

“É sempre melhor com fogo. Hambúrgueres na brasa Burger King.”

A Burger King se orgulha muito de seus burgers que feitos na brasa, mas como provar que eles são melhores sem saboreá-los? Mostrando que tudo é mais emocionante com fogo, é claro!

Agência Buzzman

Faça meu ano feliz seguindo o Insta do Temporal (clique abaixo)!

Campanha do Dos Miradas — Trump Palhaço [9]

“Um ponto de vista diferente.”

Agência TBWA Buenos Aires

Campanha Contra Diabetes da Tailândia [HC]

“Doces matam.”

Essa também não é uma campanha nova, porém ela é tão incrível que foi curtida como se fosse e agora está aqui para compensar o desprestígio de seu lançamento.

Designer Nattakong Jaengsem

Campanha da Bio Suisse — Abelha Croissant [8]

“Tudo está conectado: o plantio orgânico cria o ambiente para os insetos viverem.”

Essa arte estava no topo das melhores campanhas do primeiro semestre, porém agora está amargando o oitavo lugar… A boa notícia?

É sinal que tem coisa muuuito mais criativa para você logo abaixo! 

Agência Thjnk

Campanha da NatGeo — Africa’s Deadliest [7]

“No ciclo infinito da vida, a morte de alguns é vida para outros.”

A National Geographic ilustrou o ciclo da vida de forma primorosa nessa série de artes onde predador e presa entram em um círculo de batalha infinito (assim como os lados de um círculo).

Agência Rocket Yard

Campanha da Croco Beach — Tartaruga no Canudo [6]

“Usar um canudo custa 4 minutos da sua vida, porém a vida inteira de uma tartaruga.”

E o Brasil retoma a lista (e às primeiras posições) com essa propaganda ilustrando a importância do banimento dos canudos que já está valendo aqui no Rio de Janeiro. Essa bela arte só não bombou mais porque… bom, logo você vai entender.

Agência EBM Quintto Comunicação

Campanha do McDonald’s — Fritas Banksy [5]

“Surfar na hype” foi pouco esse ano…

O Banksy parou o mundo ao fazer uma arte que se auto destruía — uma ideia tão insana que permitiu marcas como o McDonald’s surfarem na hype e conquistar um belo lugar na nossa lista.

Essa prática é chamada “newsjacking” e é uma das mais eficientes do marketing digital; caso você gerencie alguma página, não deixa de testá-la!

Agência DDB

Campanha Vencedora do Grand Pix de Cannes — Grande Ilha de Lixo do Pacífico [HC]

Você sabia que existe uma ilha de lixo do tamanho da França no Oceano Pacífico? Esse projeto in-crí-vel da BBDO visa transformar a ilha de lixo em um país, e para tal já criaram bandeiras, cédulas e até mesmo passaporte para seus cidadãos.

Essa sem dúvidas foi a campanha mais criativa que já vimos e não há prêmio que chegue a sua grandeza; nosso primeiro lugar não é nada perto dela…

Agência AMV BBDO London

Campanha de Mercury Energy — Praia Hambúrguer [4]

“Abasteça seu carro pelo preço de um hambúrguer.”

É difícil achar o que não é genial nessa imagem: o gado simulando os gergelins de um pão, a vegetação costeira formando a salada, a areia amarela formando o queijo… transformar uma praia num hambúruger foi uma jogada genial!

Agência FCB

Campanha do Greepeace contra Plástico nos Oceanos [3]

“Não segue a vida dos nossos oceanos.”

A honestidade brutal (e usual) do Greenpeace o garantiu o terceiro lugar graças a essa arte que com certeza foi uma das mais impactantes na história do Temporal Cerebral.

A arte poderia impactar ainda mais caso o designer tivesse forçado um olhar triste, por exemplo, mas felizmente meu coração foi poupado disso…

Agência Rethink

Campanha do Migros Café — Xícara Olho [2]

O poder da semiÓTICA, literalmente!

Agência Serdesin

Campanha Vencedora do Cannes de Ouro — KFC e a Fumaça Frita [HC]

“Quente e Picante”

E novamente sou forçado a falar da obviedade já que vários leitores reclamaram de não entender essa arte mesmo ela tendo sido uma das mais votadas de todos os tempos.

Isso seria facilmente resolvido caso o designer tivesse deixado o frango numa cor mais clara em vez desse degradê que realmente parece apenas fumaça para o público leigo.

Agência Ogilvy & Mather HK

Campanha do McDonald’s — Automac 24 Horas [1]

“Automac Aberto à Noite Inteira”

Eu não disse que o Mc não tinha motivo para lamentar? Ele ganhou o primeiro lugar e também o recorde de curtidas da história do Temporal com folga!

Esse é mais um belíssimo exemplo de como as melhores ideias nem sempre precisam de execuções caras e trabalhosas; é só gastar um bom tempo no brainstorm e você chegará a soluções mais simples e baratas do que você pode imaginar.

Agência Publicis One

Conclusão

Eu achei as campanhas desse ano significativamente mais minimalistas que de costume e especialmente inspiradoras por esse mesmo motivo.

Digo isso pois analiso anúncios há anos e cada vez mais noto que a simplicidade se destaca tanto aqui quanto na minha atuação, como se hoje as pessoas estivessem tão saturadas de informação que a melhor alternativa sempre é aquela com maior grau de obviedade.

Num mundo onde o feed é mais rolado do que observado, você definitivamente não quer que alguém tenha que gastar um neurônio sequer para entender o que você quer vender — seja o mais óbvio que você puder!

Mas e aí, o que você achou da lista desse ano? Está satisfeito com o primeiro colocado?

 ↑ Segue aí, por favor!

then I have several other singular nameless OCs for franchises like Young Justice, TMNT, Ben 10, Tron, MLP, and maaaany others. I had an OW OC that had a really complex backstory and everything, but I... forgot pretty much everything about her unfortunately LOL. and most of those singular nameless OCs are just self-inserts tbh. the only one that isn’t is my Young Justice OC, who I came up with a name for and just completely forgot it... oh well.

I’m hoping to someday have bios written for all of these characters, so look forward to that I guess! \o/
