After being sold out for over a year, 5 discounted copies of Tourist Type: Dead Motels have been added to the shop. Please note: these are SCRATCH & DENT copies. In most cases, expect small blemishes or bends on the cover. Otherwise the internal content is exactly the same as a "good" copy from the original runs. Here’s the link if you’re interested! https://vahalla-studios.myshopify.com/collections/all-products-custom/products/tourist-type-volume-1-first-edition

So excited to announce the release of Tourist Type: Dead Motels! 

I teamed up with visual artist & designer Dustin Williams to create this unique compendium, which offers a look at pure typographic Americana through the lens of over a hundred logos and images from dead and defunct motels around the United States. This book is a love letter to the mom and pop motels of road trips past, an era of design that continues to inspire even as the physical locations themselves are razed year after year. Many of the beloved motels that you have seen featured on this blog have been included!

This edition is 48 pages, annotated, screen printed and bound in a perfect travel size. It is printed by Vahalla Studios and is available now by clicking here or visiting: https://vahalla-studios.myshopify.com/products/tourist-type-dead-motels

Are you excited for the Horizon: Burning Shores DLC???

Even if Kotallo doesn't get to come with us, we'll at the very least see a Horus move. That's all I wanted since the first game. :')

Gojo as a merman. He's of the deep-sea kind: pale and light colored, with pale blue eyes sensitive to bright daylight. Because of this, he only surfaces at nighttime-- that is, until Y/N gets him a pair of sunglasses.

ANONNNNNN YOU’RE A FUCKING GENIUS i’ve been brainstorming ideas for mer!gojo but here we have it….. that’s him…….. i can see him wearing sunglasses SO clearly 😭😭 i feel like he’s super fond of humans (unlike sugu)… probably pretends to be a normal guy and shows his upper body while tourists are taking a dip in the ocean…. flirts with men and women swimming by……… reveals his tail to crying children super sneakily so that they’ll stop crying and cheer up…. parents laugh when their children point to him and call him “mister mermaid” meanwhile he just grins and puts a finger to his lip teasingly <33 it’s their little secret!!!

no but he would actually be soooo cute and charming….. he wants to be human so bad he wants to explore!!! LOVES being a merman but like…. he wants to go on land and eat all the sweets he sees everyone munch on….. :((( mer!gojo is the most susceptible to a little mermaid-esque plot where he turns into seafoam at the end LMAO thankfully he has suguru and shoko to keep him in check!! doesn’t stop him from interacting with humans though…… he just wants to have fun <3

Forgot that the Hornsent has a vaguely Scots-Irish (?) accent and now I'm laughing my ass off at the idea of this guy absolutely losing his shit in the local pub 2 pints in

* Thanking the Miraheze once again because I now found out there were originally tourists. I get why they cut it but also have they considered I’m a raging bisexual

[citrus-sours]

I know I just said I need to finish shit but also. I should add to the Pony and Juzo goes to America post. The urge to send their asses to the Dr. Pepper museum is killing me

every year i have to be reminded that spain/the iberian peninsula/all of southern europe i guess. is still viewed as a tourist getaway paradise. and that most tourists laugh at the "tourists go home" graffittis on many cities. like they truly dont care they see the place as a fun getaway and thats it. and my beloved tumblr mutuals and i have discussed it at lenght (bc lets be real most of you guys are southern european or mediterranean too lol) but everyone else just turns a deaf ear

[guy who is always complaining about drawing backgrounds] well what if I

#he probably said it to rolin during auditions and rolin marked it as another tick in his 'weirdo' box haha

LOL YES, I can so imagine this. I love that it feels like Rolin was initially like "no way, too fucking handsome" about Sam and then fairly quickly realized "ah, he is a freak, perfect".

It is interesting too because he talked about Sam's actual audition as Lestat feeling "alien" and like he was "other than us", and in a way, Sam kind of feels like that in real life? In a VERY different way from Lestat obviously, but there is something about his personality and way of being in the world (what little glimpse we get of it from interviews and such) that feels a bit unusual. The grave "forgive me" for minor slip-ups being one of those unusual things lol

Hahaha, I mean, yeah! He basically says as much in the section of the s1 podcast where he talks about casting him and Jacob, haha:

I love that Rolin brought up Starman too, because a) it's such a great comparison point for Sam's performance, but also b) I think it's a spectacularly underrated film and I really hope it gets more people to watch it! I think it's probably my favourite Jeff Bridges performance of all time.

And yeah, Sam's a bit of an odd character himself, haha. I kind of mmm - - I kind of get the impression he's lived a lot of lives, if that makes sense? Between growing up on a cattle station in a very remote (yet also very touristy) part of rural Australia to going to a (very expensive / prestigious) all boy's school in Sydney (and maybe boarding there?) to acting school in the UK. The fact that his brother's so much older than him and has been an acting literally since Sam was born too makes me think Sam's probably been exposed to a lot in that regard too from a very young age.

He's so private, it's hard to get a sense of it really, but yeah - - he's definitely a part of a few different subcultures in Australia that can often feel quite removed from each other, which is just kind of an interesting thing.
