I have this odd fear that, should Too Human ever be re-made, they will change/adapt Midgard and Asgard to the current standards of what cyberpunk aesthetics are aka put giant neon eye strain billboards everywhere.
There was some sort of concept art that sort of veered into that direction at the time though it's a more pleasant kind of neon graphics:
This was an early idea of the Aesir airport, which got cut out from the game or modified to be smaller.
ive never listened to the magnus archives and only know about it through others but i do know for a fact that elias bouchard is so funny as a character because all these other avatars are like “i can end the world with famine, i can kill people through suffocation” and elias is just out here like
liam’s anu-kite induced hallucination in triggers being a flashback to when he was a scared fourteen year old boy who couldn’t protect himself against a group of people who were supposed to be on his team rather than one about theo, the guy who once tried and almost got liam to kill one of the most important people in his life while shifted and was planning on killing him next even though becoming a monster that hurts people is one of liam’s greatest fears. theo actually being the one who pulls liam out of his head and keeps him from killing someone and talks to him about why he gets so angry when he’s really feeling afraid. layers. guys there are layers.
sorta an interesting characterizing detail that majima continues to wear an eyepatch instead of getting a prosthesis like most people (who have the money/resources, which he does) do. like I imagine it’s a combination of being dedicated to the image he’s made for himself/being stuck in his ways (not in a particularly bad sense here), and growing over the years from feeling the deep shame that wound is meant to bring him to accepting it as part of himself for the better or worse, not wanting to sugarcoat any part of himself no matter the unpleasantness, to maybe even feeling some level of pride or confidence in it in a way because it represents just how much of a resilient motherfucker he’s had to be to make it out of the shit he’s been through and whatnot. idk just something I think about sometimes
rare myopia W was when i got an mri and they were like we've put this little mirror at the end of the tube so you can see the outside in case you get claustrophobic. but it's so normal to me to not be able to see a foot in front of my face without my glasses on that it didn't bother me not to be able to see the outside in the first place. i was just chilling.
e.g. Sandman counts as one because different editions mean a different number of volumes and Danny who's read the 3 Omnibus Volumes has read just as much as Nawel who's read 14 volumes.
Yes it means that someone who's read one issue will vote for the same thing that someone who's read the whole thing. No system is perfect.
If you've read one work (let's say The Graveyard Book) and its adaptation (let's say P. Craig Russell's), it counts as two, though (and not 3 even if the graphic novel is divided in two parts)
every time theo ends up saving liam’s life it’s by pulling him to safety from behind… something to be said about liam silently trusting theo enough to give him his back (and theo’s unspoken willingness to have it even at the expense of his own safety).
