if theyre gonna adapt Border Road they should rename Alice to Doroshii so shes not too closely associated w Arisu. also bc Border Road gives me more Wizard Of Oz vibes, which i think was the point of it

— This is basically all the info about Electricpuke that I have collected over time

– CW: EP himself is a warning, allegations of abuse, manipulation, faking a disorder, among other things, mention of gore, incest, weird fetishes, etc (more cw in the future. In case something from this cw is not mentioned now it is because I have not edited it yet).

Basic info

Riel, also known as ElectricPuke/EP, is a former artist, creator, and game developer who participated in the creation of BtD along with Darqx and Gatobob. He created the route for Sano for BtD and the routes for Cain and Vincent in BtD2. Not much is known about his private life, only that he lived in an apartment in California before moving to Texas (This was taken from a Russian page of dubious origin).

Gatobob/EP Drama

— Info taken from 'ElectricPuke (+18)' on VK.

It started around 2018, when their personal relationship deteriorated drastically. According to Gatobob herself, she and Riel had a relationship: they were both married, but at the same time they were swingers. Over time, Riel began to act against Gatobob, both psychologically and sexually, which left a significant mark on Gatobob's psyche. EP used Gato to obtain various benefits, from raffles and communication, to financial aid, gifts and money transfers for fake needs such as fake disorder. Despite the nature of the relationship, Gato continued to maintain a relationship with Riel, hoping that he would change. At the same time, her marriage with Alan, who was EP's friend, was also difficult: Alan was abusive, kept Gato's earnings and was involved in manipulations against her (not to mention that he and EP spoke ill of her behind her back). Finally, after everything that happened, Gato decides to end her marriage and end all relationships with EP. This period was accompanied by an emotional crisis, which ended with an overdose. Recovery took a long time, including therapy and long-term treatment.

To live is to fall into a pit

In a conversation with an American screenwriter, Ryu Murakami once said that all stories follow the same plot: the protagonist falls into a hole and either crawls out or dies within. When I heard that, it made sense to me; I could see nearly all stories fitting into that pattern. But in his genius, Abe would not settle for the ordinary. The Woman in the Dunes offers a third plot: the man finds a life inside the pit. Even in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Alice’s experiences inside the rabbit hole work toward bringing her back to reality. Not so in The Woman in the Dunes. When the man is stranded at the bottom of the pit, he at first struggles to escape, but in the end, he chooses to remain there. When he finally obtains his much-longed-for means of escape, he has an epiphany and comes to understand the freedom to be found in staying inside the hole — a freedom that he chooses while letting a different freedom go. And that is what life is. Is that same third option not the framework that governs our society, our work, our families, our life, and our day-to-day life? Unknowingly, we all are lured into our pits, swallowed up, and we struggle to crawl out. But even if we make it out, nothing is changed. Outside, new holes are being dug; being trapped in a different pit is the only outcome. There are many such pits in life. Some are made for us, and others we make particularly for ourselves. For every pit trap, there is also a shelter. To live is to fall into many pits. As long as you are walking forward, you will fall into a pit. —Hideo Kojima, The Creative Gene (2010)

l'aventure de canmom à annecy - épisode DEUX - mardi 1: Hyakuemu

today started with something pretty cool - I went to a 'making of' session for the upcoming anime film ひゃくえむ (Hyakuemu, lit. 100m) by the team behind On-gaku: My Sound.

The panel consisted of director Kenji Iwaisawa, char designer/sakkan Keisuke Kojima, art director and bg artist Keikankun Yamaguchi and producer Akane Taketsugu. They answered questions in Japanese, which was then interpreted into French, and if you had the phone app, interpreted again from French into English simultaneously, which meant it was a bit of a game of telephone but it worked surprisingly well.

The film is using a pretty unusual rotoscope process: much like The Case of Hana and Alice, it's filmed and edited in live action, which is then used as a basis for animation at a reduced framerate.

The character designs are fairly stylised compared to the live action, and the animation process seems to follow a fairly traditional process of roughs - sakkan corrections - keys - inbetweens, with the twist that it's all done digitally inside clip studio.

They made a fairly detailed comparison to On-gaku - which I evidently need to see asap, these guys are legit. By comparison they described this as a larger team, and the film as a much more realist style, and more of a commercial than a personal project. Still it's definitely a small team, with only one person apparently responsible for both live action and comp.

Art director Yamaguchi is evidently very talented, but she spoke about feeling inexperienced at the style demanded by the film (though she was the sole colourist for years on On-gaku), and having to experiment a lot. All the film's bgs are painted physically in watercolour for the warmth this brings, based on detailed tracings of photos. She showed one very complex bg animation sequence with 29 drawings, and Iwaisawa apologised for making her do it. They talked about taking inspiration from the backgrounds in Akira.

Kojima showed various settei, and talked about how he'd adjust performances during animation.

Iwaisawa described how they cast actors that resembled the manga characters and dressed them in rough costumes for animation reference, and also directing them to act in a more exaggerated, theatrical style. He also mentioned his excitement at certain sequences, describing the film's ending as like a rock festival. He described his main reason for using rotoscope as the energy he'd be able to get by editing the live action footage prior to animation, as well as his prior experience using rotoscope for short films.

They didn't show a ton of footage but apparently the film is about 75% done, with the live action fully shot. At the end they asked if anyone was interested in working on the film and got a flood of volunteers. All in all it seems like the perfect case of how to do a rotoscope film, and I'm really excited to see it next year - maybe it will hit the same as Slam Dunk.

what system / console do you preferably play video games on? also what are your favourite games?? :)

Had a bit to say so I'm putting it under a readmore~

Growing up my family had Sega Genesis and PlayStation, but my siblings were usually the ones who got to play them, so I became more familiar with PC games! MMO's and such n American McGee's Alice.

Here I am playing Tomba while my sister uses the family PC... She used to get so annoyed when I won during Tekken from button mashing lol.

Also have fond memories being scared playing Silent Hill 2. Rule of Rose and Haunting Ground are good n spooky too.

Eventually got a PS4 of my own (the cannot download P.T./Silent Hills demo notifcation still haunts me), gained an appreciation for FromSoftware games, as well the Metal Gear series thru diligently watching my brother play the entirety of them. My partner is also obsessed with both Kojima and FromSoft, so we enjoy those together as well. I've always been a big fan of Square/Enix stuff too. There are a lot of games I want to play with an emulator but haven't gotten around to it...!

In recent times I've been playing Elden Ring, Disco Elysium, and just started playing Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis.

The consoles I currently have are PC, PS4, and Nintendo 3DS (mostly just play Animal Crossing on it). Hoping to get a Switch soon so I can play Splatoon ~w~ I don't consider myself an avid gamer because I ultimately spend more of my free time drawing and reading manga or watching anime/shows/movies tbh, so I'm always open to recommendations and enjoy watching others play too.

This was a nice message to receive, thank you!

Recenzija: Plavi Dnevnik

Originalni naslov: The Blue Diary

Autor: Alice Hoffman

Datum: 17/03/2024

Ocjena: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

________________________________________________________

Priznajem da sam jedna od onih osoba koja ponekad kupi knjigu pa je zatim pospremi na policu i zaboravi na nju, stoga mi je jedan od važnijih ciljeva ove godine da napokon pročitam sve te knjige koje imam, a koje nisam još dotakla. "Plavi Dnevnik" sam kupila na Interliberu prošle godine, primarno zato što je Hoffman autorica kojoj vjerujem i čiji su me radovi već uspješno osvojili, ali moram priznati da nisam očekivala da će mi se ova knjiga baš toliko svidjeti, a definitivno nisam očekivala da će mi postati njezino najdraže djelo.

Radnja prati brojne likove čiji su životi međusobno isprepleteni u maloj zajednici gradića na zapadnoj obali SAD-a, nakon što Ethana Forda - voljenog sugrađana, marljivog stolara i brižnog oca - uhapse za zločin počinjen prije 13 godina. Dok se mnogi uzdižu na noge i žele ga podržati, njegova žena Jorie odluči saznati pozadinu jezive priče te dosad nepoznatu prožlost svoga muža.

Ako se Hoffman po nečemu ističe, to je njezin jezik i prekrasan način prenošenja radnje. Njezin stil nije kičast, ali je opširno ukrašen toplim, uvjerljivim i snažnim vizualima koji prate radnju i savršeno ilustriraju osjećaje likova i njihove unutrašnje borbe. Jezik cvijeća igra veliku ulogu u ovoj knjizi, kao i brojni ostali elementi prirode, a Hoffman ih iskorištava u svoju korist i pretvara ih au divan spoj prenešenog značenja i doslovnih osjetilnih doživljaja.

Radnja se sporo razvija te je veći naglasak na likovima i njihovom poimanju promjene koja zahvati njihove živote, a ne toliko na samom procesu osude Ethana Forda. Nova stvarnost potiče likove da se napokon okrenu samoreflekciji i shvate kako je sve u životu prolazno pa tako i mir i blagostanje. Ipak, Hoffman niti u jednom trenutku ne dopušta čitatelju da pomisli kako nesreća dovodi do potpunog beznađa. Ljubav, suosjećanje i briga zbližuje stare prijatelje i ljubavnike u nove, čvršće veze kojima je ovaj turbulentan period bio prijeko potreban da napokon shvate tko i što im je u životu najviše bitno.

"Plavi Dnevnik" se također bavi temom veza između žena i njihovom potrebom za međusobnom podrškom. Većina ženskih likova je na jedan ili drugi način pretrpilo sebičnu izdaju od strane svojih partnera, očeva ili drugih muških uloga u njihovom životu, te su primorane žrtvovati vlastitu sreću na račun većeg dobra. Dok muškarci generalno snose samo posljedice vlastitih prijestupa, žene vode brigu o široj slici i pokušaju umanjiti ukupnu štetu. Tako na primjer Ethan vodi računa samo o svojoj vlastitoj sudbini, dok Jorie pokušava pružiti podršku svom mužu, spasiti njihov brak, brinuti se za njegovog sina, te zadržati svoj ugled u zajednici. Jorie razumije da je Ethanov zločin uništio više nego njegovu vlastitu budućnost - on je svojim djelima uništio nju i sve što je imala.

Hoffman genijalno uspjeva čitatelja povesti na put otkrivenja zajedno sa Jorie. U početku prikazuje Ethana kao onakvog kakvog ga svi znaju, no kada on napokon prizna svoj zločin i kada Jorie sazna tko Ethan zapravo jest, tako se njegov lik mijenja iz savršenog u realističnog. Hoffman tako uspjeva dočarati takozvani pogled kroz ružičaste naočale, a "Plavi Dnevnik" oda je bolnom postupku njihova odstranjivanja. Saznanje istine nije lak proces te uvjetuje brojna odricanja, od kojih je najteže upravo suočavanje sa činjenicom da ništa više neće biti kao što je nekoć bilo.

Na kraju se tema ženske borbe te saznanje istine isprepleće u jednu tragičnu priču koja naglašava koliko je važno prepoznati djela iz nečije prošlosti, bez obzira na količinu vremena koje protekne ili na pozitivnu promjenu koju čovjek učini nakon zlodjela, jer zločin je ipak počinjen i potrebno je za njega snositi posljedice. Nadalje, bitan je razlog nečije promjene. U Ethanovom slučaju, Hoffman postupno otkriva kako je njegov savršen život rezultat osjećaja krivnje, no primarno iz sebičnih izvora - Ethan smatra kako će se pomaganjem zajednici i svojim besprijekornim zalaganjem odužiti za period života tijekom kojeg je drugima činio nažao. Upravo zato se Jorie počinje udaljavati od njega i zašto odlučuje saznati pravu istinu.

"Plavi Dnevnik" je prekrasan roman koji se dotiče teških životnih odluka i destruktivne moći istine, a koji je satkan od nježnih, plemenitih i dirljivih trenutaka prepunih nade, ljubavi i brižnosti. Nudi nešto doista jedinstveno te je savršena knjiga ukoliko ste u potrazi za nečim osjećajnim, moćnim i ispunjujućim.
