Dark horses, revisited.

I was typing up a list tonight and something smacked me in the face.

If you haven't read @vidavalor's post about label on the wine bottle Crowley drinks from in the "Smitten" scene, read it first. They talk about all the horses that appear in S2. There is a red horse on the wine bottle, which refers us to to the relatively peaceful pre-war year of 1938, the dark horse statue in the shop that hold Crowley's sunglasses, Aziraphale is called a dark horse by Nina, and Jane Austin is Crowley's dark horse. And we may have missed out on more horses by not getting our wild west minisode.

Well, not all horses, I realised - we have missed one of the "dark horses," and its another direct reference to Crowley. Remember when Crowley does his infiltration of Heaven with Muriel, and he gets caught by Saraqael? They give us a quick call-back that they, too, once knew knew him as an angel.

Aaaaah! Now I wouldn't be a good amateur astronomer if I didn't know what that was! Of course I do, I just didn't put it next to all the other "dark horses" did I? Lets do that.

That's it, that's called a dark nebula, a big lot of dust and gas blocking off any light behind it. You've most likely seen this one before, it's quite famous.

Any thoughts on how this one fits in with the Starmaker, @vidavalor?

Oh, and I reckon we should add the Bentley in as the last dark horse, as it's Crowley's modern day steed, after all.

"woah i can't believe you've read blue sky!"

hoho. my dear followers. i have done more than read it. do you have any idea what you are dealing with.

[reel-fear]

Wow, so umm... This looks bad, not only is it inaccurate due to using the wrong ink demon design [unless this is confirmation BATIM Ink Demon has been outright retconned... Which would make me pissed enough to make a new post just about THAT] but from an art standpoint this is just... Confusing and poorly done.

I wouldn't care if this was fanart, of course you should support young, indie artists... But for a Graphic Novel making sure your cover doesn't look like something Butch Hartman shat out in an afternoon is kind of important. Remember they're going to be asking us to give money to them to read this. The artist likely won't see any of that money and neither do the authors most of the time, not to mention this art screams of the artist being underpaid and overworked.

Like they Had to get something on someone's desk and their boss said 'good enough'. A concept Joey Drew Studios is very familiar with considering the allegations of poor working environments that Kindly Beast. Not to mention Mike Mood admitting in a Reddit AMA that they did in fact rush projects like Showdown Bandit. [Which they sold at full price]

He also says they can in fact say no or yes to designs involving their IP. Either Mike or Meatly had to say yes to this cover, according to his own damn words.

And do you really think this company in particular would care enough about its fanbase to not sell them garbage? They have done exactly that on several occasions. It's not like they care particularly about art either, considering their previous use of AI Art. There was no apology or even posts addressing it... Instead, they just rushed out an archives update to their game to get people to stop talking about it... Even forgetting an entire character in it. Again

This company is [or at least SHOULD BE] on thin ice when it comes to being suspected of misleading their fans or rushing out crappy products to them.

So with all that context in mind, I'm gonna talk about why this cover sucks ass.

The light sources are all over the place? Why does it look like someone put maces or knight armor on his shoulders but it's just flesh?? It looks both gross and weird [not in a good way either]

To explain more I'm going on a rant below but sadly this seems to have been confirmed to not just be a rough pass but the final cover and man... I am not excited about this graphic novel just at all. This felt like it really drained any possibility of it turning out good for me and I already had expectations low.

Okay first point, the light sources?? And there is no consistency here with the shadows or lighting, it looks like there's a hundred light sources all at once but none of them are even consistent!

the arrows here represent all the different light sources I can make out and yet the the shadow clearly implies there's only one. I understand wanting to use highlights to give the character a more clear shape but then just give him one or two lights behind him or in front of him? No matter how u follow the light sources, the highlights make no sense and the shadows make even less sense.

Why are the shoulders like that? Like on the legs it's a little understandable, at least those are clearly very heavily affected by perspective, for me I think they are so exaggerated it makes it look like one of the legs is either huge or one is small but that's maybe subjective.

However, the shoulders are unjustifiable, what happened there, what did they do??

I could pick on so much more honestly, how the color choices of piss yellow with no other colors being used, and the harsh pitch black being used for every part of his body is weird. How it looks straight out of Butch Hartman's recent crappy art. But to put bluntly bad start! Also what the HELL is going on with this background??

Seems once again the Bendy team is fine with sending out stuff thinking it's "Good Enough" for Bendy fans and honestly the people trying to tell me to "Be Grateful" for this are just proving that no matter how many times you betray your audience some of em will defend you!

Which is sad tbh. If anything we should be putting MORE pressure on the Bendy team to do better. Cause we deserve better than this, honestly we do. There are amazing artists in the bendy community who could do so much better for a cover. They've employed their fan artists before... Wouldn't it be great to do that for such a lore important book? The book that gives us the identity of one of the main characters in BATIM? The character you spend the entirety of Chapter 4 fighting to save? Not to mention will give several major characters their human designs?

But I guess this is... Good enough...

Yeah, thrifting is fun but no one ever talks about the wave of sadness you feel everytime you find a personalized/special thing, realize you're holding an important part of someone's life and wonder how something so special ended up on a rack in Goodwill for $8

[oceanwithouthermoon]

was thinking about this and i was like what if the teacher confiscated the note when kaido passed it to kuboyasu

and she thinks kaido was bullying kubosai (calling them gay n shit☠️) and passes it up to the matsuzaki since hes the guidance counselor

so he has to figure that out and calls the three of them to talk but he takes one look at kubosais blushing faces and the way theyre avoiding each others eyes after he shows the note and immediately is like "... ah."

I don’t want to go anywhere else I like it here. I like yall it’s so rare to feel any sense of community in fandom. I just always feel like I’m fucking up whenever I’m in discord it’s so overwhelming and I feel like I never say the right thing. My impulse is always the wrong one etc etc

[emeraldotter]

Which two of your characters are the most deserving and least deserving of head pats?

So... I found this question somewhat tricky. I considered it from a couple of angles, when trying to think of the "most deserving." I think August would be the more pleasant to head pat, but Felix is certainly the most morally deserving.

On the other hand, Atticus is a one-boy trauma machine, so maybe he could most handily use the head pats? I'm really not sure. Either way, it's probably one of those three.

As for who is "least deserving..."

No contest: None of them! They are all deserving of head pats. Heinrich may, on paper, not deserve head pats by virtue of being one of the messiest murgs in existence, but he desperately needs them. As for Yetz, yes, he will certainly bite the hand that pats him, but I really want to head pat him, so... Head pats for all, I suppose.

Do any canadian followers actually know the rules of those loblaw marvel cards?

Ever so often I’m tempted to try Warcraft but then I go.. No. No. I shouldn’t.

Shitting on your favorite piece of media as a love language should be more widely acceptable honestly.

It's like showing your friends the kitten you found in a dumpster who both is adorable and loves cuddles but has also decided that you arm is his own personal scratching post and you affectionately started calling him "fuckface" and it just stuck and you're constantly complaining about how much work he is and how annoying he is but you do it with a smile because you love him and your relationship is very "your lucky your so cute bitch ass motherfucker cuz if anyone else did that it's on sight yk that?" And the cat doesn't give a shit because it's a cat

It's like that like yes it's problematic and I hate it but also you should totally watch it with me sometime like ik I never compliment it but the shit show is part of the charm it's endearing like a dumpster fire

I feel like that torture stretch rack from medieval times would fix me
