Thank you for indoctrinating me into being a Wally/Howdy enjoyer. It's not the pair I would have expected to see but still a cute pairing (with GREAT potential angst) nonetheless.
I saw a pajama-outfit meme a few days earlier that fit these two very well, though I forgot to save the actual thing it’s self smhhhh (basically it’s the ship dynamic of “slay slay bich serve” and other is literally just in their boxers MCGFGYDHJDD)
I like to think when ever howdy is content/sleepy/wholesomely happy, his antennae wiggle a lil bit
also bonus Sally and Julie cause I love their chaotic energy MCHHDH

I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned my super long sea shanty playlist (almost 16 hours!)
If your favorite sea shanty or shanty band isn’t on here, please recommend it to me!

I've realized something.
Brian Petsos movies don't have a lot of fans. Oscar Isaac fans like his characters in Brian Petsos movies.
We don't talk about Revenge for Jolly!; we talk about Cecil.
We don't talk about Ticky Tacky unless we're praising Lucien and/or comparing/connecting him to Anselm.
We don't talk about Lightningface; we talk about how pathetic Basil is and compare him to Steven Grant.
We don't talk about Big Gold Brick unless it's to bash it, talk about the cast, and obsess over Anselm.
I didn't think this at first, because I just assumed I was the wrong kind of viewer for Petsos projects (I previously mentioned that they kind of reminded me of Jim Jarmusch movies), but the more I've looked around online at reviews and discussions, I've been finding this pattern of negativity. It seems like everyone just kind of agrees that Brian Petsos doesn't really make good movies, but Oscar Isaac makes them worth seeing at least once.
And, yes, I am aware that there are things Petsos has done without Isaac, but when you search 'Brian Petsos' the first things that come up are the ones that Oscar Isaac is a part of. This includes The Letter Room, which was written and directed by Elvira Lind but Petsos does have a part in solely as an actor. Even on his IMDb page, there's little to nothing about him but half of the available information is, and I quote, "frequently works with Oscar Isaac".
In my opinion, that's pretty telling on it's own.
I'm not trying to be mean here, I just think this is kind of an interesting thing to note. If you disagree, please let me know. I'd be happy to debate this. Personally speaking, I've watched Revenge for Jolly!, Ticky Tacky, Lightningface, and a tiny bit of Big Gold Brick.
(For the record, I know that Petsos didn't direct Revenge for Jolly! but he wrote and starred in it.)
One thing I will say in Petsos' favor: There's very clearly a lot of genuine passion and love in his work and it does show. Interviews with him, the proud displays of nonsensical strangeness, and the fact that he's able to keep making movies all reflect that. You can tell that the people involved are having fun and I think that's the most important part.
I think his weakness (to me) is that his projects feel like they lack something.
Revenge for Jolly! didn't feel like it was going anywhere for most of it's runtime. Like it wanted to be and do something but didn't know how. It had fairly decent moments... in the first half. But those moments only landed out of shock value, and they very quickly became predictable. (Also, what was up with that bar scene?)
Ticky Tacky and Lightningface felt flat. Like bread that didn't rise. Maybe they needed more time to really explore their premises and characters. Like, if we saw Lucien and Claire together before he finds out about the cheating, or if we get to know Basil before the lightning strike. Both of these are about people going crazy, but without that sense of who they used to be, it doesn't really hit that hard and leaves you wondering 'what the hell did I just watch and why?' This is one thing I think Revenge for Jolly! understood, because we get to see Harry, Jolly, and Cecil before the inciting incident of the movie. We get a sense of their relationships with one another.
I can't speak for Big Gold Brick because I haven't seen it in full so I'm not going to bother saying anything for the bits I saw either. That's just not fair for anybody.

yes, a Mortal Kombat OC
His name is Noah Ross, aka Crow, member of the Lin Kuei and later on Shirai Ryu. He was taken into the Clan of the Lin Kuei by it's old grandmaster when he was found wounded and abandoned by his former military squad. Also he's canadian and his specialty is remaining in the shadows like a ghost.
also I tried a new brush on this one

Hear me out: I think one themes of the deluxe album or next album or whatever this rebrand is might have something to do with Death/Rebirth
The teaser from today is all white, almost like a feeling of a beyond the existential world. For anyone whose seen the Barbie movie, it kinda gives off that vibe of the same scene where Barbie is talking to the creator of Barbie about becoming a human. I haven’t read any of the comics, so please anyone correct me, but VAN seems to be an AI program of sorts. VAN may want to become a human instead of a rhetorical AI program. A sentient to be exact. We all know Noah is a huge cinephile so I might be missing some points on some other movie references that might relate closer but Barbie came to mind first.
On top of that Poppy runs towards a bright light. Bright light in movies have always symbolized heaven “seeing the light” or “go towards the light”.
Butterflies/moths are also heavily used in the promo. This mean metamorphosis, changing who you are. It’s a reincarnation of sorts. Poppy says “this feels familiar, but I feel different” meaning the world around me is the same but I’ve been reincarnated into something else.
White rabbits might be a call back to the first Matrix movie (Noah has said he’s a fan of the movies). In the first Matrix, Neo is told to follow the white rabbit to learn about the real world (which is ran by robots). Neo follows someone with a rabbit tattoo and meets Trinity. There’s more to this but I haven’t seen the Matrix in forever.
Noah loves using religion in music so the whole death/rebirth/reincarnation is a heavy implication a lot of times across multiple religions (not just Christianity).

I had a dream that we got one more season 4 trailer and there was a screenshot going around of Greg squishing Tom's face that made everyone go collectively insane, so I had to bring it to life
