Utena/Seinfeld crossover: who's Kramer?

nanami

[milk-lover]

That’s the second bizarre Seinfeld reference Etho has made while doing Decked Out

i love watching etho runs on tango's stream because it turns out etho is just as baffling to his fellow hermits as he is to us.

[girlballs]

concept: fairly standard soulslike gank boss, but you find bits of lore later on that make it progressively harder to deny that you basically killed the medieval fantasy version of the guys from seinfeld

Stew Fuckin Leonard's

so Connecticut has this beautifully cursed grocery chain called stew leonards and it's got lore (mascot being based off of the founder's deceased son I believe??) as well as a bunch of terrifying singing animatronics????

anyways have the milk set:

yes they sing and blink.

here i am being judged for my sins by Big Chicken:

also Jerry Seinfeld was there?????

10/10 sober experience, would NOT recommend non sober

Trans Seinfeld episode exploring how the reason Jerry and Elaine are friendly exes is because they dated then transitioned at the same time and even though they both ended up being transhet they agree "There's just something awkward about that, y'know?" and George is shocked that this means the two of them used to be "technically gay" (still gay and homophobic in trans seinfeld lore imo). The subplot is that Kramer starts stealing neopronouns and breaks into someone's house because he suspects they're hiding the full list from him.

POMNIFELD

A TADC AU INSPIRED BY SEINFELD

Pomni is Seinfeld (Mary Pomnifeld)

Ragatha is Elaine (Ragathaine Beanes)

(yes, I ship Pomni x Ragatha)

Zooble is George (Zooge Oobstanza)

Kinger is Kramer (Lozmo Kinger)

Jax is Neumann (Jaxxson)

Caine is the landlord to Pomnifeld who ropes her, Ragathaine, Kinger and Zooge into crazy adventures. Bubble is Caine's weird pet.

LORE: Starting off as a surreal parody of Seinfeld, Pomni will see people glitch and things she's not supposed to see, including 2 corrupted NPCs known as Kaufeld and Gangle. She will later learn she is in a infinitely running TV show powered by Caine, who's an AI. Jax is an NPC and Ragathaine, Kinger, and Zooge are real humans like Pomnifeld who signed up to be on this show and had their memories erased to be replaced with new ones by Caine. Kaufeld was the scrapped protagonist of the show due to him becoming self aware before his first episode, and Gangle was a lost member of the friend group who was cut due to being unnecessary.

NOTE:

This AU is based off an earlier attempt at a TADC x Seinfeld AU (back when Caine and Pomni were the only characters people knew) along with a fanart post I saw.

WRITERS AND ARTISTS NEEDED!

[fieldghoul]

I happened to read this interview where Alex Ross Perry (co-director of Rite Here Rite Now) was talking about his Videoheaven and Pavements projects, and this quote jumped out at me:

Cinema Scope: There’s a line that keeps popping up in Videoheaven: “The movies talk about themselves.” I like this a lot, and it’s interesting that a filmmaker like Brian De Palma was ahead of the curve in assessing the symbolic or semiotic potency of the video-store space, whereas later on it served mostly as a backdrop for romantic comedies. It was a way to hint that the characters had inner lives, and taste, but rarely to the point where they genuinely talk about movies. It’s like a weird uncanny-valley thing: I remember always wondering what the characters on Friends would say about La Dolce Vita (1961), the poster for which is hanging in Monica’s apartment, or if the version of Die Hard (1988) they rented had actual profanity in it…  Alex Ross Perry: Well, this is something that only people like us would ever think about. If they rent Die Hard on Friends, but then Bruce Willis appears in a later season as Ross’ girlfriend’s father, in this world, is there simply a guy who looks like Willis and has his mannerisms, and so on? And has he ever seen Die Hard? This question is of course made text in Last Action Hero (1993), with the Stallone Terminator 2 (1991) gag. To say nothing of the now well-known and HD-enhanced fact that on Seinfeld, Jerry owns Child’s Play 2 (1991) and Arachnophobia (1990) on VHS, along with Pretty Woman (1990), which stars Jason Alexander…I’m reading too much into all this, but so would a De Palma character. 

(For some broader context -- Videoheaven is an as-yet unreleased documentary about video stores, particularly as they're featured in film.)

But it made me think, it's funny, isn't it -- the VHS tapes in Rite Here Rite Now.

Some of them are vague -- for the two box sets next to the TV, the top one has a logo that was used for Prequelle Exalted version, and the bottom is the logo for either Impera (possibly Phantomime, it's hard to tell which with the color grading in the movie). I don't think anybody has definitively figured out what Ghost In the Trees means, but Haze Over North America Tour 2013 was a real tour that happened, but no audio or video of it was ever released (at least, not in our universe).

On the table, we have one more box set with the If You Have Ghosts logo and art, and we see tapes of the Chapters videos. New Blood, Tax Season and Meanwhile in Dublin, are shown up close, plus Nap Time is on the desk in front of Sister Imperator.

The fact that the Chapters exist on VHS is what's so weird. There's really no way to reconcile the existence of these tapes in the Ghost universe with the way most people would have understood the Chapters up until now. I think the default interpretation of a piece of fiction is that it is true in its own reality -- i.e. in the universe where Cardinal Copia is himself, and not Tobias Forge in a mask, the Chapters are something that actually happened. It's much weirder to see it it as some kind of meta-fiction, where it's a scripted production put together and released by these fictional characters. But Rite Here Rite Now is a movie about Copia and Sister Imperator and Papa Nihil and not the actors that play them - how could the chapters possibly co-exist with the characters in-universe?

I always think that's a fun part of Ghost -- the veil between the universe of Ghost's lore and reality is often so thin. They come out to play in our world in the form of concerts, and it's not quite like meeting Mickey Mouse in Disney World where the costumed character's experiences have no bearing on the canon. The real life shows Ghost performs add to the counter Papa Nihil is keeping for Copia. The accolades that they allude to in the Chapters - the Grammy, the gold certification for Mary On A Cross, TikTok virality - all happen in real life.

For the record, I don't think we're meant to explain the tapes in RHRN, for the record -- my interpretation it is just a nod to what Alex Ross Perry mentioned in the interview. It is impossible to have a fictional storyline that takes place in the real world without running up against paradoxes you create.

Also, allow me to plug my own post, from earlier: besides the VHS I already mentioned, there are two others on the table that are partially obscured and unidentifiable - the one in the GIF above, with the Union Jack on it, and one other in an orange case that appears to say "Australian Tour" (the "tour" part is cut off in this screen cap, but is somewhat visible in the video). I can't tell if there's other text on the VHS cover, or if it's just graphics.

I can't figure out if it's young Nihil on the cover or a stylized version of Papa III -- but either way, Papa Nihil of course never went on an Australian tour in our reality (or, theoretically, in theirs - since, per Metal Myths, Nihil's version of Ghost "immediately disbanded" - not that Ghost is unwilling to retcon things) but neither did Papa III. There were plans for an Australian tour during Meliora era, but they fell through when Soundwave was cancelled in 2016. But I guess it's another point where their reality diverges from ours :-)

I haven’t much desire to play Susan Taxpayer (not much of a gamer, still like the lore, humor, and style), but what I love most is the fact the music sounds like a cross between Seinfeld and Rugrats. PEAK music choice, absolutely stellar.

Beatrix REALLY killed it with designing the soundscape of Susan Taxpayer.

[helpules]

if i were in charge of the lore i would make a little mini game where michael is transmasc and after the scooper scene he goes "well at least my top surgery is paid for" and gives a thumbs up to the screen with a half assed smile and the credits roll while the seinfeld theme plays

[mateodoodle]

Just doing my hw for the FNaF movie (going to see it Wednesday) and

[Image ID: an edit of the "you're crying from Home Alone?" Seinfeld meme. It reads:

"You're crying from Gibi 8 hour 48 min FNaF lore analysis video?"

"Recontextualizing Henry's message for Charlie got to me."

"All right."
