Did you meet the new girl? Yeah the one from France who showed up during winter break for some reason. Yeah the one who didn't bring clothes but brought a picture of her friends. Yeah she took like ten minutes to take my picture, I had to ask her what she was doing. Yeah, she kept shooting the puck into her own goal in air hockey. Yeah apparently she climbed a tree after a squirrel in the middle of the night --

so I didn't have the time/inclination to get really into another old photo id attempt (the trn one... continues... forever...) but I did take the time to reverse image search the photos from Ghost Dogs and a couple of them turned up results

far from fictional Moon Lake, Pennsylvania this photo of Bill Foster's logging crew was actually taken in Fossmill, Ontario in 1915 (source)

this photo in the speakeasy is a still of the 1929 Dolores del Rio film Evangeline. i have not seen Evangeline, but it looks like it's been uploaded to youtube if any of y'all are interested

She’s finally done!! (From this WIP) I could probably continue refining if I wanted to, but I’m calling it here. Love ddi, loved making this.

This was heavily referenced, but really good way to stretch and get into doing full illustrations, i may do more like these cause it’s a great way to practise, but I do wanna do some of my own compositions for Nancy illustrations in the future.

I don’t know how I never played any of the Nancy Drew games as a kid, I love point and click and I love Nancy drew and I would have been all over them!! My sister and I are playing through them together now and it is just an absolute joy. (She is however much better at puzzles than me so idk maybe they would have frustrated me as a kid)

Also it’s giving me some inspo to ~actually~ practice drawing and backgrounds etc. so anyway here’s treasure in the royal tower WIPS. I really want to do some actual illustrations from these games.

Also Evelyn/gabsmoulders streams are just prime content for background comfort noise when pain flares or fatigue keep me in bed.

#gab smolders #and halfmoon joe #both are entertaining if you need a solid Nancy Drew background noise

friendships end. relationships end. black turtleneck is forever

I was listening to Clue Crew Podcast today and in the SEA episode, it was explained how the theme of the game was loneliness, and how every character in that game has lost somebody, via breakup, divorce, death, and along that theme, Nancy and Ned have also had relationship trouble and were arguing, even getting close to Nancy making the future of the relationship uncertain.

And I realized that this is not only true for Sea of Darkness, now that I think back on it, Nancy and Ned's dynamics have consistently been in theme for every single game. Remember in Captive Curse, how annoyed we all were that they were constantly arguing and getting angry at each other and making drama, interrupting our play? That was a clue. It was a clue that the theme was breakup and revenge, it was showing us that the culprit was someone who held a grudge against their relationship partner. I think the game was hinting at how badly a relationship could go and Nancy and Ned have managed to evade the disastrous outcome by making peace and finding a way to work thru their issues.

And then think of every other game where Nancy and Ned have been arguing and it fit the theme perfectly. And then think of every game that they were pointedly not arguing; remember the Castle Malloy where Ned was stuck at a party, unable to escape but loyal to Nancy to a fault and completely dedicated to her to the point where he didn't even want to speak about how inconvenienced he was. It was a metaphor for Matt! Who was stuck but still completely loyal to Kyler! We could have figured out that they would have stayed together just looking at Nancy/Ned dynamics in the game!

That kind of hint is so subtle I've never realized it before. Seriously, these games, there's never an end to realizations.

Her Interactive: There’s a storyline in ghost of thornton hall that is too dark to explicitly include in a kids game.

the fans: rosalie was raped by her own father, making Clara is a product of incest. Charlotte somehow figured it out and eventually told Clara and learning that caused her to lash out and accidentally trigger the events that lead to Charlotte’s death.

I’ve seen posts like this about some of the characters from, like, two years ago, so I decided to make some myself 😚
