RIP Kazuki Takahashi, you were possibly the motivating factor to me learning how to write in first grade. Almost everyday after a point that year we had to write a story (or write about what we dreamed) and mine was pretty much always a yu gi oh fanfic because it was the coolest thing I knew of.
Today is the only day u can ever post this (found on Facebook, no I didn’t screenshot it 🙄)
So I decided to try to do mermay but spent most the time drawing mermaid/ siren gesture drawings cause it’s fun. I was gonna give up on day one and just say there would be 31 by the end but @meredithmcclaren appeared on my tumblr, and I had to art... I put down some color flats on a gesture drawing then doodled on top of it. (Half asleep art is fun)
I think there was something sort of profoundly beautiful about the Wii.
I don’t know why, but especially with the built-in channels there was something about the presentation and the music that really feels so much different from any other console. I think it’s because it’s the first console that tried to be something a little more than just a gaming device, and the ephemeral feeling that came with trying to blaze a trail while still maintaining an air of “we know exactly what we’re doing and are fully confident in these ideas”.
Looking back on it is like a fully realized glimpse into a reality congruent but slightly skewed to our own. The place on our respective timelines was right after the intersection where the two lines fully separated from each other, but only barely.
