He looks down at something off screen with a grimace, sweat beading down his face. At the bottom of the image is a caption from the game Ghost Trick that reads, in big letters: I can't read! /end ID]

He wears a red jacket over a black shirt and white tie. On his face are dark sunglasses. He is grimacing, sweat beading down his face.

how about that new Ghost Trick game, huh? versions without the caption (but still with the swiped background) and the OG screenshot below

I'm fascinated by the ways in which the things a creator is good at making don't necessarily line up with the kind of art that they respect or even enjoy.

This has haunted me ever since I saw a Youtube video about the downfall of The Band Perry, a country band that I had liked until their music got weird and they kind of fell off the face of the earth. Well, it turns out that they tried to reinvent their image and their style of music several times before the band finally fell apart. When they started, they had this weird Southern Gothic homeschooler style that really worked for them and was reasonably popular, but then they tried to switch to a cooler type of pop music--a style they supposedly admired and enjoyed--and it just did not work at all. They failed because they chased what they wanted to make instead of sticking with the style that they were good at.

It's a tension that's present in all creative work. At one point does "going outside the box" go too far? Can one be happy making good work even if it's not the kind of stuff they like or admire? Are the techniques and styles that are most appealing to us appealing because they're things that we can't create ourselves? As in, our minds don't work that way, so seeing these things from other creators is exciting, but the fact that our minds don't work that way is exactly why we can't imitate those things. Where's the line between creative integrity--pushing yourself to make better things--and pride--wanting to make something more prestigious and impressive instead of humbly making the type of art you're best suited to make? Can one even clearly see what they're best at making, and appreciate the good that's there rather than chasing after styles and techniques that seem better? There are no solid answers, which is why I'm going to be endlessly thinking about this.

Yes, Gary's credit card was always there, guys-

I like the 2024 cover enough that it will probably stay forever, seeing as it covers every arc and I think it'll hold up well <3

[Image ID: a sequence of three digital paintings of Yugi Muto and Atem from Yu-Gi-Oh!. All are set in space, in front of a starry background. Purple-tinted light leaks in from the left, like sunlight filtering down from the surface of water.

Yugi wears a sleek blue jumpsuit with a black belt, boots, and gloves. Around his wrists are silver cuffs with several glowing buttons and screens. Atem wears his usual outfit - white sandals, a white tunic, a flowing cape, and a gold belt and crown. A swirl of black kohl underlines his eyes. The eye on his crown glows softly.

In the first painting, Yugi and Atem face each other as they float in space, Yugi on the left and Atem on the right. Yugi holds the Millennium Puzzle's box in his hands, face set with determination as he looks at Atem. Opposite him, Atem looks back with narrowed eyes, arm raised in front of him as if preparing to defend himself.

In the next painting, Yugi launches forward, tackling Atem in a hug. Atem's eyes are wide and his mouth open in surprise, his arms extended as he tries to catch his balance.

In the final painting, Atem wraps his arms around Yugi, eyes closed as he hugs him tightly. /end ID]

version of this but with Atem's canon design and no helmet on Yugi, because why not?

Don't tag as ship.

They should stop rating movies 1-10 and start using complex numbers. Real axis is for the technical quality of the film, imaginary axis is how fun it is to watch.

anyway we came to distract master jeweler and not let them work in peace

[thevirginslvt]

trash take but everyone blaming (heavy on BLAMING and not simply placing responsibility where it’s due) Curly for not knowing how to react after being told his friend was a rapist in time (because he literally had like a day to process this info) are forgetting the fact that Swansea knew about Anya’s rape and didn’t try anything either until it was too late. at that point Swansea had been witness of Jimmy’s delusions and there was no need for a Captain.

we could all blame every character for not reacting how ideally we would want them to and there would be a million reasons for every single one of them, i just wanted to share my opinion as i think some people are being too harsh on what Curly could’ve realistically do taking into account no one could’ve foresee that Jimmy would be capable of killing everyone including himself.
