oh yes i know of him. not in the sense that i am familiar with his work but i have seen my mutuals make insane and nonsensical comments about him. so
I’m just built different (worse)
first day in the time loop i suspect nothing
second day in the time loop i still suspect nothing
third day in the time loop i realize that it has been tuck him in tuesday for 72 hours
fourth day in the time loop i realize that spending money has no long term consequence. i go to waffle house 15 times
fifth day in the time loop i am now sick of waffle house. i look up how much horses cost
sixth day in the time loop i buy a horse. i dont know how to ride it
seventh day in the time loop i buy the same horse again and watch youtube tutorials on horse riding
eighth day in the time loop i buy the same horse again and i am getting better at riding it
ninth day in the time loop. i once again buy the same horse. i can ride it successfully. it seems to know me
tenth day in the time loop i buy the same horse and ride it to waffle house. i feed it hashbrowns and sweet tea
eleventh day in the time loop i buy my horse and go to waffle house. we go on a ride through the mountains. we see a hitchhiker and a driver. we stop by the car.
..13th? 20th day? im in the time loop. me and my horse have not left the mountain road since we first came here. all four of us have died multiple times. i mount my horse. the hiker and driver join me. we're getting out of the time loop
first day out of the time loop i am thousands of dollars in debt
Official Time Loop Post
From another article i read today 😭
he wasn’t even there to be a contestant he joined the crew as a CHINESE TEACHER but the directors noticed his good looks and begged him to compete. poor guy made it to the finals and if he had been one of the winners he would have been contractually forced to be in a boy band whether he wanted to or not
this is the closest any human being has ever come to actually being sold to One Direction
"I can't believe [media] was actually about _____ the whole time!!!"
- [one possible interpretation, yep]
- [literally the main theme??]
- [worst take you've seen in your life]
you cannot headcanon your way out of overt thematic structures on which the entire narrative is built
Big fan of sun motifs in characters not necessarily being about positivity and happiness and how they're so " bright and warm" but instead being about fucking brutal they are.
Radiant. A FORCE of nature that will turn you to ash. That warmth that burns so hot it feels like ice. Piercing yellow and red and white. A character being a Sun because you cannot challenge a Sun without burning alive or taking everything down with them if victorious.
i know that when a book describes dragons picking up their riders they probably mean scruffing them by the neck in their mouths like a kitten, but i always imagine something like this
I remember reading about this guy when I was researching about the early weeb fandom in the US. Like the article says he was one of the main organizers in the 1980s NYC anime fandom and iirc AMVs were directly inspired by the legendary Daicon III opening animation and Kaposztas’ desire to make similar music video style anime-mashup shorts but obviously didn’t have access to an animation team so he did the next best thing and used his video editing skills (I wouldn’t be surprised if he was an early fansubber)
I discussed this on the Twitter as well - in the early 2000′s AMV’s were the peak of ‘intense’ fandom in Anime, they were the highlight event of cons, people learned about shows from them, memes were born from them, etc. Its niche but Kaposztas is an innovator who played a role in building a slice of culture, its a real achievement.
Also love that the Kotaku article just puts the Evangelion/Tribute Mash-up AMV in at the end just because why not, that video dominates, definitely watch it.
this comment under a bookstore video of all the first editions of the hobbit they have… i’m going to start crying
It's a date! 🍔✨
