#lost media my beloved

Digital girl

She's trapped pixel by pixel

Digital girl, longing for something real

Need the whole screen, her heart's in a swirl

Searching for love, a connection she can feel

Digital girl

Digital girl

Digital girl, lost in the code

Digital girl, where her heart can't be shown

Though he was widely known by the moniker "Mr. Bai," Baizhu's last name isn't "Bai." The origins of this misnomer can be traced back to his apprentice at Bubu Pharmacy, Qiqi, and her sieve-like memory. When she first arrived at Bubu, her memory was even worse than it is now, and she would even forget to return to the Pharmacy at night after going out to gather herbs and ingredients during the day. Fortunately, Baizhu is always patient when dealing with patients, and doubly so when dealing with Qiqi. At first, he attempted to have her stay at the Pharmacy and rest, but Qiqi was always resolute and could not be dissuaded from harvesting materials, saying: "My responsibility." Helpless to stop her, Baizhu would personally go out to find her each and every time, and remind her of the fact she lived with him at Bubu Pharmacy over and over and over and...

-- Baizhu's character story #1

It's disability pride month and what better way to celebrate than by posting my first ever full Baizhu & Qiqi piece! I just........am very unwell about them.

Qiqi has canonical memory and joint issues. Baizhu has a canonical unspecified but severe chronic illness. They've really completely taken over my brain lately and as a person with chronic illness myself, I'm just in love with the portrayal of Baizhu in Genshin Impact. The effects of his chronic illness are addressed and constantly visible, but that doesn't stop him from being badass and successful, even though he has to spend days at a time laid up in bed recuperating his spoons. I honestly don't know that I've seen a more human, complex portrayal of chronic illness in fiction. He's just so, so good.

I love them your honor I don't think I'll ever get them out of my brain.

I think about Trashion Alley a lot and how I would have LIVED for it as a kid. By the time the dolls would have released I would have been to old to play with them really (as in I was no longer interested in doing so myself) but I would have collected the HELL out of those rat dolls :(

I love tiny things and especially that “small humanoid/anthropomorphic creatures making things out of big things” idea. Button plates, thimble cups, shelves made from sardine cans and popsicle sticks, that one Ghibli movie where the tiny girl has a chip clip as a hair tie. YES. MORE. I love it so much.

I've thought for ages that my favourite weird little sanrio characters would be perfect buddies for Danhausen and then I saw the amazing Orange Cassidy & gudetama art by @helia-06 so here's a quick drawing of the Vision

none of my business whether yall self ship with hazbin hotel characters or whatever, but since im seeing an influx of it (likely because of the new show) i'd like to remind yall to please boycott it (and pirate it if you must). it is being hosted on amazon, one of the BDS's pressure targets in the strike for palestine's cause– while it is acknowledged that you realistically cannot fully boycott targets like amazon (because of their monopoly over shipping), it will still be helpful to drop things sponsored by it that you ultimately do not need.

the self ship community has presented itself as an open and diverse community for years– prove it by being willing to stop giving profit to media that has a stake in hurting others.

support palestinian self shippers.

Guess who bought more rare Raggedy merch to put up on archive!

These two 1979 cassettes with accompanying books are part of a set of 7(that I've found evidence of so far) that as far as I can tell were distributed to schools and libraries only. The books are in near mint condition, I even got two copies of one of them, and I'm looking for someone to digitize the tapes to preserve the audio as well. A couple other books in this series are already scanned on internet archive, Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and Raggedy Ann Learns a Lesson.

The art style is one of my favorites, and this series of books are the only ones to feature the character Cynthia!

Hey, Tumbler audience! You lot still mass-crazy about "lost media?"

Okay. Put your hand up if you've heard of Shirkers (1992) 🙋

Shirkers wasn't "lost media" -- it was stolen. Created by Singapore teenager Sandi Tan, an avid cinephile, it chronologues a young serial killer navigating her life.

"She's taking them into her world. And that might be Heaven, or Hell, or... the supermarket.

Along the line, Tan met Georges Cardona. The American cinematographer eagerly joined her project, and she eagerly welcomed him. He shot every scene of Shirkers.

And then disappeared with all of it.

Years later, Tan receives a strange message from Cardona's widow. A caricature of the message she was supposed to receive; a dream stitched back together by the needle that gashed it. This sets her off on a journey -- a discovery of what finally, two decades ago, became of her Shirkers.

The documentary of the film is on Netflix (and also in... other places 🤫). I'd never been so thoroughly moved by a documentary before; never so invested in something I knew I would never see.

Go on, give it a whirl.

Also an additional Christmas thing/kind of lost physical media(?)- these 3 copies of Christmas NiGHTS signed by Naoto Ohshima and Yuji Naka were given away by Sega Magazine along with some special art of NiGHTS and Sonic!

I don’t know if that specific artwork is archived anywhere else so it can be seen in full, also I’m 99.99999% certain those signed games have never been resold or anything (I wouldn’t either though lol). Also there’s some sort of little drawing on the games, I think it’s NiGHTS’ eyes?
