#from the sound design

Edit: I have not seen Nosferatu, and the comments assuming that's what this post is about are getting fucking obnoxious. As are many of the additions very rudely pointing out the fact that the actual range is *slightly* bigger and includes parts of Europe, so they could potentially be in the setting of the film I haven't seen and wasn't talking about. And talking as if I'm somehow to blame for someone else's map being incomplete on a meme I made in a few minutes that ended up getting tons more notes than usual. You can correct people while being polite about it.

This post is about Poirot. Quite a few episodes set in various locations, but especially Death on the Nile because that's the one I've watched most recently, and no matter whose map you look at there are no loons in Egypt.

Edit #2: There, I updated the map, are you assholes happy now? Still no loons in Egypt, nor anywhere near the city of Brussels. I will concede that there are some in the UK that I did not know about, but you probably wouldn't hear them in a city, and in any case the point still stands that TONS of productions use loon sounds no matter where they're set. Look at the map in this Vox video that someone linked in the comments of this post. They're all over the place!

Settings on every continent except Antarctica, and that's just the instances this one person found!

Perhaps it would be more accurate for me to say this post was inspired by Poirot but is about lots and lots of different movies and shows, because if I'd only ever heard one stray loon sound in one film then I wouldn't have made it.

Also, I shouldn't think it needs to be said, but I am not doing a serious media criticism here - just poking a bit of fun.

[IMAGE ID: Two pages of a black and white comic. PAGE ONE PANEL ONE: Luz stares up in fear, caught in the relic room of the castle. "Why if it isn't Eda's human pet!" PANEL TWO: Lilith looms over her. "How perfect." PANEL THREE: A distant view of one of the castle's towers. PANEL FOUR: Caleb is throwing a pot on his potter's wheel. He's wearing an apron and his reading glasses, his hair tied up in a bun. He's sticking his tongue out, calm and concentrated as he works. PANEL FIVE: CRASH! Caleb jerks comically in surprise, splattering his pottery everywhere. PANEL SIX: BAM BAM BAM! Caleb takes off his glasses, turning towards the noise coming from the nearby window.

PAGE TWO PANEL ONE: The racket continues, overwhelming the panel. An overhead view as Caleb stands up on his crutches and moves towards the noise. "What in the Titan's name is going on??" he wonders. PANEL TWO: Caleb looks out the window. "I can't see anything from here," he thinks. PANEL THREE: The noise breaks off into a screech, followed by silence. A close up of Caleb looking through the bars of his window, eyebrows raised in bemusement. PANEL FOUR: His expression changes to uncertainty. "It stopped..." he thinks. PANEL FIVE: Hunter throws the door open with a BANG, Belos following behind him. "DAD!" he yells happily. Caleb jolts, startled. PANEL SIX: "You'll never guess what just happened!" says Hunter excitedly. Caleb turns to him, wiping the clay off his hands with a towel. "Violence and destruction of property?" "Well, yes," answers Hunter, "but--." PANEL SEVEN: Belos stands at Hunter's side and rests his hand on his shoulder. Hunter puts his hands on his hips and smiles at Caleb proudly. "Lilith Clawthorne has finally captured the Owl Lady," says Belos. PANEL EIGHT: Caleb clutches his shirt as he looks at them, horrified. The panel around them is black except for the barred window behind him. "She captured her own sister?" he asks. /End ID]

Reminder that interdimensional radio has been a part of Ninjago canon for over 6 years, and isn't even treated like a revolutionary technology:

Not sure if this is more or less wild than the Ninjago equivalent of an Apple Watch having a "Temporal Anomaly Locator" but it's certainly up there.

Being reminded about the pitch for Ford and being fascinated with the way Stan's age changed from "in his 80s" in the pilot to "ambiguous but still old" in season 1 to "wait shit, his backstory timeline means hes still in like his early 60s at most" so they ended up changing his design in season 2

Another tidbit is pilot!Stan's secret being him as the guardian of the town and him planning to pick one of the twins to be his successor.

and well....

A certain spiel sounds familiar. And is likely unintentional cos the initial plan was to have the agents make an offer to Dipper instead! It was switched to Ford because Dipper already idolised him so much

EDIT: The pitch's description of pilot!Stan's secret

(Also reminder that Ford's name was set from Gideon's debut, with the name Stanley appearing in ep2 via license plate and Gideon calling Stan 'Stanford', so like. His name wasn't actually going to be Tim. It's likely the same case as Weirdmageddon 1 being known as Xpcveaoqfoxso to stop leaks from spoiling everything)

Prop art for Project Fish. Some things you'd typically see at a Li-Luan port.

These props are inspired by things you'd normally see at urban areas within south-asian communities.

I dug deep into what’s been inspiring me to create art for Ormauk recently, and a lot of it has been my relationship with nature as an adult, but especially more so when I was a kid. I grew up a short walk away from the beach. The town that I lived in was outside of the city, but you couldn’t really classify it as suburbia. There were empty plots of land filled with guinea grass growing taller than us kids. Unfinished foundations of houses that sat undisturbed for most of my life; overgrown and abandoned. There was a small pasture for cows behind my house where frogs croaked their hymns when rain fell and created ponds. Overhead cables and graffitied electrical transformers had a specific vibe that I just don't see where I live now.

I wanted to show my version of solarpunk, and it finally clicked with me how I can achieve this; by mixing those snapshots of my childhood with thematically designed technology that fit that south-asian culture I’m trying to emulate. A bit of what exists now and what could exist.

Now THIS is a GRID. Take notes, Kevin Flynn!

As seen in a previous post, I was able to make an accuracy model of J whilst working on the other J clone models. If I can make all the fakes, it's only fair that I make the real one too.

They're cringe but they're free

Hi! Based over this screenshot I had saved from here ajsdkd

It's like those married people with shirts with each other's faces

They also have mugs with each other's face on them why not

Also, Nimona got her own bag

Nimona: You two are so corny... (blegh) Ambrosius: F you Ballister (looking in his Ambrosius bag): Oh, got you this (pulls out a Nimona bag)

If I see anything I will think of them 😭😭 and probably draw it

I saw the other day a video of a black cow running towards a lighter-colored cow and pushing her down a hill and I was like omg it's like that scene where Ballister pushes Ambrosius to the floor in their sword fight :000

(Everything's a Nimona reference if I try hard enough) (easy peasy because they're 24/7 in my mind)

Conrad, idk how to tell you this but you're not recording, you're playing audio. You wanna click the red circle instead of the sideways triangle.

(psh if you want a full breakdown of just how bad he is at this I made a full post here)

Would an advertising executive understand where the homeless live? Would he know about the bubbles in his glass? Would the bubbles in his glass understand what the man's golf cart is? Do they know you can die frozen underneath an overpass?

Feel like continue introducing a bit on characters of the ttrpg cardgame Historic: Road eternal thing

Caged wraith

The Caged Wraith is an Ensu who has a cage around their body, heart, and head. Their soul is even looser and easier to move or change than normal. As a result, they need a physical cage on their body to help keep the soul inside.

They are the sneaky rogue character who can kill with twin daggers, pick locks, or sneak around. They have the ability to open a door on their cage and let their soul out. When in soul form, their party carries their body as an item, and they can attack people's souls directly, or use their power to touch the world. They can pass through walls with ease, and peek inside things that shouldn't be seen.

They can either follow the path that empowers their ghost form, or the path that empowers their physical body.

(design draft and absolutely unintelligible degradation)

Also the tool that fall along the same line of aesthetic and region (if the client Feel like make it to be) (not specifically used by this little weirdo but i think they share the similarity)

The steward's sword

A simple one-handed sword made of iron, with various parts of it that are gilded in gold, as if it was once dipped in gold but has lost its golden parts overy many years of use. It is a bit dirty, but the golden parts shine as if they cannot ever be stained.

Also sharing the link of shame at the end ↓↓↓
