(Inspired by Rosina Wachtmeister's wonderful artworks, obviously - I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to combine that style and Wayne's design.)

The Longest Johns - White Frontier

#can't stop listening to this one #the album version is a pale reflection of what an experience it is when performed live #but still good #also IF ANYONE LIKES TLJ TO ANY DEGREE AND HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO A LIVE CONCERT - I BEG YOU -PLEASE- GO #i was so shocked how incredibly good they are live #they also perform most of the songs heavier than the album versions which i really enjoyed #and the energy/passion of the band members on stage is just incredible and they interact with the crowd a lot #i was /this/ close to giving up on going to live concerts because most of the recent ones i went to were utter meh disappointments #but these guys have revived my excitement #I ALMOST CRIED TWICE DURING THE CONCERT and that has not happened to me even at the NMA concert i went to before... #the longest johns #music #0r19 #queued

I grew up in a house of open doors Everybody drifting in and out with the wind The willow tree waving hello, goodbye Any old place was a good place to begin I watched the vapour trails criss-cross the sky I spread the wings that I couldn't wait to try With all the blessings held inside With all the blessings held inside

It's OK, all the never knowing Never knowing if I'm coming or going Whichever way the wind comes blowing Doesn't matter if we're coming or going, coming or going

So it will take us all directions, it will take us by surprise All we have is knowing that the sun is going to rise In the East, above the fields, above the ruins, above the mist Above the folly and the passion and the beauty and and the courage And we're looking for a sign and the only sign says: Set the dial to turn in circles Whichever path we choose we're going to stray And we're all ghosts anyway, we're all ghosts anyway

Just finished watching the final Venture Bros movie, and man... ;_;

Sure, it probably wasn't as cool as it could have been if it was a whole final season instead of just a movie, as was planned originally, but still. They probably made it as good as it was possible, with picking up most of the loose threads and neatly tying them. I don't know what else to say without spoiling anything, but as a long-time fan I was pretty satisfied with those conclusions. That ending felt really nice c:

And it's hard for me to describe everything that I feel about VB, but I basically grew up with this show. And it sure had a huge influence on me, and I owe quite a lot of who I am and what I'm about nowadays to it. It showed and taught me many things, and it truly means a lot to me. And I'm really glad that something like that exists and that I stumbled upon it many years ago and decided to stick with it.

Sure, the early episodes may be... rough, to say the least, especially by the modern standards - some of 00's adult swim language and jokes may seem in rather poor taste nowadays, but hey, it was a product of its time, and it does get better later on. And the early animation may not be super polished, and is also rough around the edges - the pilot episode was even done in Flash, haha. But I always found VB really endearing even despite that. And it makes it only more satisfying to see how the quality of both the writing and the animation get better and better with each season.

If you have the time, and if you're willing to tolerate the rough start and a few crass jokes here and there - please, give Venture Bros a chance. It's a wonderful show made with so much love and attention to the details, with a fantastic, fun and colorful cast, and it's just really entertaining to watch - there's more than enough humor, mysteries, suspense, cool action and heartwarming moments. And oh, the character growth! Some character arcs take quite some time to start rolling, but the payoff is great. And you probably would enjoy it even more if you know the things it references here and there, but even if you are like me and have been living under a rock without getting familiar with most of pop culture - it still holds up on its own just fine. And despite its 20-years-long (woah!) run, it's not actually that long - 65 episodes (counting the pilot and the specials) and a movie. (And don't miss the after-credits scenes!) There was a slideshow-presentation style post about "why you should watch Venture Brothers" that I really liked, but sadly I can't find it. But these posts can work as well: - https://www.tumblr.com/taki118/628651351412441088/go-watch-the-venture-brothers - https://weirdmageddon.tumblr.com/post/627555718310019072/in-depth-guide-thread-for-people-who-want-to-get - this one also has content warnings, though it's probably better to do your own research if there are some topics that are sensitive to you.

Anyway.

Go Team Venture. And thank you for the wonderful ride.

P.S. And here, have a picture of one my faves - the wonderful Dr. Orpheus :]

#you thought it would be a post about the movie impressions but no it's just me begging people to watch VB #now that it's finished i can finally do so with a clear conscience lol #venture bros #0r19

CYBERGEM - Raiden Warned About AI Censorship - MGS2 Codec Call (2023 Version)

Recommend watching this even (and maybe especially) if you aren't familiar with MGS.

#this is brilliant and terrifying as is and on a meta level #mgs #metal gear solid #would be nice to get star trek future #but seems like we're getting mgs instead huh #i hate how much of a prophet kojima is sometimes #ai memes were funny for like 5 seconds until much more grim possibilities of its use came to mind #and the consequences #sure unethically sourced training datasets can be a problem in itself with some ai stuff #but the kinds of application the video talks about (and is made with) open more horrifying paths #slam dunk big brother into the trashcan #0r19

Started watching Monster, and I really love the moodiness of the opening.

And I just had to stitch the last shot together, because it's truly beautiful.
