i finished my latest built in Tiny Glade, or at least got it to a point where i’m satisfied leaving it for a while. closeup pictures after the cut :)
went back to make that map of the town. it's far from perfect since i don't really know how to use photoshop but i think it gets the point across lol
Something so disgusting about how the original Haitian zombie folklore is "the zombies are victims of a sorcerer who exploits them as slaves" and then modern zombie media is "the zombies just appear from an infection that turns Real People into a rampaging horde serving no other purpose than to threaten Civilization" like.
The Haitian zombie is very clearly metaphorical for the very real horrors of slavery, while the viral zombie is fundamentally about "what if there was a type of guy it was completely okay to kill and you got to exist in a survivalist fantasy as a Badass, also when infrastructure collapses it's every man for himself and altruism goes away"
And isn't it super interesting to think about that in the context of historical US-Haiti relations?
"Reformed" mad scientist who's committed themselves to repairing this broken world in lasting and sustainable ways because they already tried the global domination thing and discovered that they hate having to micromanage shit.
Honestly if they quit world domination because they hate micromanagement, their villain org sucks ass. This tracks though because mad scientists are famously terrible at delegation.
It turns out that the sorts of minions who are willing to get on board with the idea of perfecting the world through brute force are actually pretty bad at effecting positive change without meticulous supervision.
god I wish I had a pair of menacing black gauntlets with really sharp fingertip claws I bet it feels good as fuck to have your hands resting palm-down on a surface and then scratch some deep fucking gashes into it as you clench your hand a little closer to a fist when your evil minion delivers some bad news to you
these types of tweets make me feel like a celebrity who has fake death announcement every two weeks
yesterday i ate two yogurts normally (remembers we're on tumblr) i mean if i were a bee i'd fetishize the idea of a beekeeper clipping my tiny wings so i can't escape
seeing celebrities talking about watching heated rivalry is so weird, like what are you doing in my house... except ayo edebiri of course.
the society that separates its gamers from its scholars will have its gaming done by fools and its thinking by noobs
