My custom LEGO Emerald City is complete ✅

Probably about ~1800 pieces

I’ll be adding my custom Wicked Minifigures soon which I made from existing lego parts (since I’m not a fan of the minidolls)

Check out my first Lego Wicked video for all the minifigs

The Dreamer of Oz

Okay so I was on a wizard of Oz kick. Idk why, I'm not a wicked fan. But the story is perfect for Logan.

There's no place like home.

So besides the actual au I've written where Logan is Dorthy I also had this idea that isn't actually going to be in the story because it gives Logan mercy and I am not a merciful writer.

Basically Macaque had sent a shadow clone to take care of Kai from a far in "Sorry we had to leave you in another universe". And I headcannon it was the same for Mk as a kid because I want it, I know he was dead I don't care lol.

So he's done this for his son and his grand son it only makes sense that when Logan is taken he sends a shadow clone with him just incase the worst happens and it of course does.

But this isn't a shadow clone it's a straight up clone who actually loses Logan. Oops.

So the Macaque clone gets a job at a music shop owned by an old man, old man dies and Macaque is just living under his identity and owning the music store. Little baby Logan comes in one day while mommy is at the liquor store and Macaque instantly knows it his great grandson. So he talks to Logan who at this point doesn't know what music is and shows him music. And because Logans Moms suck he goes to the music shop alot.

Then when Lunia dies Logan is looking at the pages of the prophecy and his family tree when he sees Macaque. So he runs to the music shop and confronts him. Macaque tells him mostly everything.

Now this is all cannon to "This prophecy kept you away from me".

This will all be in the story.

But heres there the wizard of Oz comes in. In my idea Logan was going to start spending alot of time at the music shop, so much so that Macaque should have just adopted him. And one night after dinner they watch the Wizard of Oz and logans just breaks down because there's no place like home. And he's never been home.

So for his birthday and every birthday after that until he goes home to ninjago Macaque would buy Logan ruby red high tops. And Logan would wear them every single day (because he didn't have any other shoes) ans whenever he missed his dads and wanted to go home to ninjago he would click his heels and tell himself there's no place like home.

Now I love this idea. But I need Macaque to have distance with Logan. Because Logan is supposed to feel this unbearable loneliness and that's what's going to make the reunion so dramatic and emotional.

So yeah this won't be in "This prophecy kept you away from me" but it's a cool idea that I love.

Please tell me your guys thoughts.

WRITING A COHERENT REVIEW OF SKINAMARINK IS HARD.

Song of the day: “Jack-o’-Lantern-Man” by the Bravery. 

Tomorrow’s my birthday. I’m going out to get vaxxed, then get brunch and dinner. I’m slowly redecorating my room, so I got some posters but won’t unwrap them until tomorrow. Also bought more winter clothes. Wearing black jeans rn. The first jeans I’ve worn in years. I don’t usually like wearing pants lol. 

Finally saw Skinamarink. Expectations were met. It blew me away. Like, an entire essay could be written on why I liked it so much. Watch it if you value aesthetics over plot in film. I do. 

At least when it comes to horror movies. I tend to watch horror and read (murder) mystery. Not so much the other way around. Whereas mysteries are plot-driven, horror media can either rely on plot or visuals/descriptions and be enthralling.

One problem I have with a lot of films is their cinematography. It often seems to take a backseat to plot, dialogue, and score/soundtrack. Which is why I love aestheticism. Well, that and symbolism. Deeper meanings are great, too.

I adore all the fan theories Skinamarinkers (?) are coming up with. Normally, “he’s in a coma” fanons bore me. But the dad said Kevin bumped his head, then the rest of Skinamarink is basically a hundred minutes of nursery nightmares. Faces aren’t shown properly.

MAKE SURE TO WATCH WITH SUBTITLES. (Unfortunately, the director’s commentary doesn’t have those.) AND THE SHORT PROOF OF CONCEPT HECK BEFOREHAND. It’s on YouTube. If you like it, you’ll like Skinamarink. Also, it unnerved me a bit more.  

Skinamarink made me feel so many things. Excitement. Nostalgia. Sympathy. Nostalgia. Fear. Well, mostly just fear when the phone got those toony eyes. There are a couple jump scares, but the movie’s more about slowly mounting dread. Plus making viewers pity the protagonists.

I feel like I’m super biased towards Skinamarink because it taps into my nostalgia. The amount of media it makes me want to reminisce about... All those “child(ren) up against a bogeyman” stories.

Those parallels between the classic cartoons and what the Voice in the Dark does to Kaylee and Kevin. The same Fisher-Price toy phone we had. Classic cartoons that were on either VHS or LaserDisc, watched in our snug basement. “The Cobweb Hotel” creeped me out so badly as a kid. At least I had my great-grandmother’s elephant figurines to watch over me. Dad’s cuckoo clock, too. 

The commentary mentions there are some anachronisms, like with the toys. Skinamarink takes place in 1995, but has that orange LEGO brick separator from 2011. Which just makes it more personally relatable to me.

My family’s always been practical, using things until they break. I have a DVD player that’ll turn twenty next year. So it wouldn’t surprise me if someone else has the VHS player somewhere. The only movies I remember watching on LaserDisc were The Wizard of Oz and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. But Oz is one of my all time faves and got watched a LOT. We had a bunch of obsolete or antique things and new things.

Going back to the toy phone… There was a Bruce Coville Magic Shop book that had a witch call the protagonist and her little brother on one. Jennifer Murdley’s Toad? And I’ve seen creepy art of Fisher-Price phones before.

Disclaimer: ED IS WRONG. CANADIANS NEED TO GET WEIRDER. I hope Skinamarink inspires people to make more weirdass movies.

Happy Valentines day

So I think it is somewhat clear why the mummy, the robot, the pirate zombie, Frankenstein's monster and Dracula wants to buy a heart. But what about the guy in a pink bear suit?

LEGO Wicked Theme OFFICIALLY Revealed!

[unstablequeerbitch]

Okay but I use to play Howl’s Moving Castle sometimes when the “we shall never sleep and may our brain never turn off and become one with insanity” happens and I started to drift during the dream sequence and it somehow turned into Batman, bc my eyes were closed, and then I had a wonky dream about Batman and planes and a dog and it turned into the wizard of oz and idk.

I haven’t really used it as my insomnia movie in awhile bc I woke up a few hours later very confused and kinda worried how the hell I went from studio ghibli to Wizard of Oz but Gotham City style

I still think one of the funniest experiences of my life was watching American Psycho with my sister and afterwards we both went "okay. Lets do something more lighthearted now" and put on the dubbed version of Howl's Moving Castle and we both lost our minds when we heard Howl start talking

So if you care to find me, look to the LEGO Western sky.
