This was my second original embroidery design! I did it in july 2020 :) By this point i was really into using cool techniques to show textures and i was very excited to try out stump work (basically crochet LOL) for the nori. I love picking techniques that really reflect the properties of something.
It’s also VERY SMALL, see last photo with my glasses next to it.
I am whatever the opposite of a speed runner is. I am a game meanderer. I have to look at literally everything. I am overly cautious in every way. I forget to pause and wander away from the game. I take a minimum 7 hours to get through any given level. If you give me a timer I will cry.
Real MVP award goes to the poor stressed out stage hands (“Five minutes?! We go live in ten!!!”) who have to handle HUNTR/X constantly disappearing (“YOU’RE ON IN TWENTY SECONDS!!!”) right before cameras start rolling
it’s a spaghetti western from the 70s so i was prepared for it to be absurd. i was prepared for the racism. i was prepared for the slurs. i was prepared for the pants. i was only slightly baffled by the opening scene where the dusty old desert town was in michigan.
what i was NOT prepared for. what the poster and synopsis did NOT prepare me for. was that the main character is followed at all times by an ashen-faced witch narrating the plot through extremely high-pitched song. the witch is never explained. keoma sometimes approaches the witch just long enough for her to tell him he’s doomed, and he glowers at her and rides away. it is unclear if the other characters are aware of or can see the witch. it’s a regular old western about a suspiciously italian-sounding blue-eyed native american in bellbottoms killing former confederate soldiers, except the main character is being tormented by an operatic witch.
HE IS RIDING DAY AND NIGHT the witch sings as he is shown riding his horse. KEOMA YOU SHOULDN’T KILL THOSE MEN she sings as he rides to kill those men. keoma’s friend tries to save a woman but there are too many enemies and over the next shot of keoma riding his horse the witch sings YOUR FRIEND TRIED TO SAVE HER, HE DID HIS BEST, BUT THERE WERE TOO MANY ENEMIES AND IT WAS A LOT. DON’T BE MAD. HE REALLY TRIED. and then keoma says the n-word in a thick italian accent but the witch has no commentary on that.
halfway through the movie keoma also starts narrating in song, but it starts with him singing SHE FINALLY SHUT UP and then the witch sings NO I DIDN’T before she lets him sing about his daddy issues for a while. at the climax of the film he just sings I WANNA DIE in a low monotone while becoming christ imagery to a background chorus of the witch telling him she told him this would happen.
anyway my takeaway from all this is that more films should feature narration in the form of unexplained and tonally-dissonant diagetic opera, but preferably at a pitch that doesn’t hurt my ears
This is it, I found it, the funniest post on this entire godsforsaken website
I will never get over how brilliant this comic is. The artist could have just drawn a single image in response, but instead we have this masterpiece. The world doesn’t deserve @iguanamouth.
