The Half Life Vr AI 2 teaser being revealed to just be Breaking Bad roleplay is the most RTVS thing ever
Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie: Walpurgisnacht Rising Trailer
Here’s my piece from the Girlfriend Effect Zine! It was an honor and really humbling to work with so many talented and amazing artists! Thank you so much for including me in this experience!
Seriously go check out the artists who participated in this zine, they all are so terrific and kind oh my gosh
I’d like to think they were close.
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh it’s happening. Tim Misny is breaking containment.
For context, I’ve lived in Ohio all my life and spent three years living in Cleveland for university (which sometimes had photoshopped tim minsy jokes in different departments!). So, inevitably I saw many, many Tim Misny ads while living there. But, this doesn’t even cover half of the utter insanity of Mr Misny Esquire. No, the man makes ‘em pay far beyond the realms of menacing billboards invoking eldritch terror upon the freeway.
Tim Misny is northern Ohio's eldritch god, plague and menace. Or at least the real life Saul Goodman.
The completely bonkers sign of him menacingly raising his eyebrows is rather new- but before that, clevelanders were graced with the absolute beauty of Tim Misny tv and internet ads. Please let me tell you about the Tim Misny Thriller Parody . Please, it's been consuming my brain for years and no one believes me.
This is an actual advertisement for a personal industry lawyer made in 2010. A young couple enters Misnyland (yes, an actual place that is Tim Misny’s residence and also a resort(???) for the general public. I do not know anybody who has gone there, but it is advertised on his site) and are chased by clowns, zombies and werewolves etc etc. But at the end of the music video (with lyrics changed to match the divinity of Tim Misny Esquire) the monsters suddenly all turn into Tim Misny, fit with horrifying laminated Tim Misny Masks with suits to match. This is somehow more terrifying than the very silly autotune that replaces michael jackson.
Actual Tim Misny also appears in the crowd of dopple-Misnys and shows us his true form which never appears on his billboards for some reason???
There is also a Tim Misny Commercial which the very thought of Tim Misny plagues the personification of Insurance Companies with nightmares and has honestly some of the spookiest synth tones and sound design in a commercial I have ever seen? Very surreal, very nightmarish, absolute terror in the words “And this time- he really made me pay”
There is also the gosh dang Tim Misny merch shop which just speaks for itself. Some of my favourites being the Tim Minsy clock and the the official Tim Misny body pillow (no i am not lying look at it please)
Then there is also the moment where he went on a local comedians show and told his audience to call him and that he would trick your enemy into falling in love with him and then on their wedding day he would leave them at the altar while also simultaneously burning their house down.
There is so much more craziness to this man besides his admittedly absolutely bonkers bill-boards. I haven't even really touched the surface of Misnyness- just what an absolute dude. It honestly shocks me that people out of the state haven't really heard of him- the guys been active in his goofiness since the 1970s. I'm pretty sure he is immortal and is just a personal injury lawyer because he thought it would be funny.
does tumblr know about tim misny??? like has the level of tim misny awareness that exists in northeast ohio broken containment and become known online yet???
(i know i still haven't responded to the last ask i sent you shhh i wanted to draw something and then art block eviscerated me)
Happy about a year anniversary of A Little Game of Cat and Mouse perpetually haunting me! If I may: What is one bit of knowledge about our contemporary world that would interest/flabbergast the regency crew the most? Every time I get really into a new song I imagine the crew being exposed to modern music
Hello Witherydithery!! I am so incredibly sorry for responding so incredibly late to your question. I must check my ask box more frequently- my sincerest apologies.
And aaa I am so happy you think of the goofballs when listening to tunes! I am sorry for haunting you, though!
And also, oh geez, I think *most* aspects of our current era would be very surprising to someone currently living at the tail end of the Regency Era. Our society has advanced so much in the ways of technology, civil rights, and culture that our world may be somewhat unrecognisable to them! Everything from our dress, the way we speak to one another, our standard of living, and the way our world is so interconnected would take quite a bit of time to get used to! Also, I am no proper historian, so I am probably off in many ways (feel free to correct me!)- but here are some of my thoughts, which go on for far too long. Which is why they are under the cut!
I think the whole crew would be very impressed by how quickly we can travel between one place and another! For context that relates to A Little Game of Cat and Mouse- by car, it takes only 40 minutes to get from Old College, Edinburgh to the Whittingehame Estate- a trip that is roughly 24.3 miles (39.10 km). Since stage coaches averaged around 7 miles (11.26 km) per hour, it would roughly take 3 and a half hours to get there if the roads and conditions were alright! This is also not mentioning that we can fly now? Crazy! Sometimes I can't even believe it, and the airplane has been around for 122 years!
I also believe our modern day clothes would be very shocking to all of them! Our summer wear in particular would be very scandalous! Even in the 1930s it was considered inappropriate to wear shorts in Britain outside of certain outdoor and athletic activities! Also, not to mention how our clothes have significantly less gender regulations than we used to have! I grew up watching period flicks with my mom and a common joke between us was that we would have hated having to always wear dresses- opulent or otherwise. Also, the wigs- ew. I think the Regency era person would believe us to be rather socially liberated! Though they will probably be surprised and disappointed that the wealth gap is still very significant between the economic classes. Also, as I headcanon a great amount of the regency cast to be Scottish (The first location of the institute being in Edinburgh must have been intentional!) Some of them may be discouraged that Scotland is still not independent from the United Kingdom.
The ease of access to information would also of course be mind boggling! The fact that we can ask the internet a question and get millions of hundreds of answers within a second is astounding. I think perhaps the Regency era person would be pleasantly surprised by our literacy rate and yet also be disappointed with how gullible we can be! The global average literacy rate is 86.81% yet our modern world has a disturbing growing anti-science sentiment. Wild!
Individually speaking, Jonah’s Harem The characters from the Regency era would also each probably be interested in different aspects of our modern world. So, barring other major historical events and technological advancements that would probably be shocking to them all- here are some thoughts about the individual characters:
Everytime I re-read how I wrote Robert Smirke (fictional) I feel really bad for Robert Smirke (actual famous English architect Robert Smirke not to be confused for the famous English painter Robert Smirke that lived in the same time period.) I am so sorry Sir Smirke, you would have been very impressed by the use of concrete and iron frames in skyscrapers. I wonder what he would have thought about brutalism and deconstructivism?
My version of Barnabas Bennett, as a tailor, would be very interested in the evolution of our fashion today. Our clothes today are so incredibly different and much more casual! I believe he may be embarrassed by the sight of people basically walking around in the regency era version of underclothes. How scandalous! On the more silly side, if Barnabas was somehow introduced to gacha games- he would go into debt for rolling for too many cute outfits. This is how the Lukas family can still win I guess. Additionally, as Barnabas is not exactly a member of the gentry and is very careful with his words, I believe he would also be surprised by how casual we are when we speak to one another. There are certainly less social rules and regulations than there were in the early 19th century, so it would probably throw him off center when confronted with the fact the average person can, like, tweet insults to public figures with little to no push back. Maybe he’d be into it?
Mordechai Lukas would certainly be into it! As my version of him is not very interested in following social decorum, he would be very entertained by our modern interactions and public drama. I strangely think he would enjoy reality tv specifically when it relates to romantic courting. More specifically- I think Love Island would fascinate him in a very not normal way. He would also very much enjoy the option to work remotely- it’s all the man ever wanted. Mordechai would also probably be the most accepting of wearing modern day clothes.
I have not got quite a good grasp on Albrecht von Closen’s and Jonathan Fanshawe’s characters yet- so I cannot make a good prediction for them. But Fanshawe would probably be very pleased at the development in medicine! You go king- vaccinations are now commonplace.
We do know that canon TMA Jonah Magnus is very well adapted to the modern era! I can only imagine how ecstatic he was when security cameras and IP tracking became commonplace. We also know that he has a fondness for scheduling, which most likely means he enjoys Microsoft Excel. But if my version of 1818 Jonah Magnus was suddenly brought to our contemporary world - barring ancient fear gods - this man would be obsessed with Wikipedia. There’s so much information! For free! It’s incredible! You can click on the citations and be brought to primary sources and research journals! He also would probably be interested in the potential of finding dirt on people through social media, background checks, and public records. I don't believe 1818 Jonah is currently at a stage where he would be entirely comfortable with blackmail- but I think he would just be really fascinated in the potential of learning about the secrets of people so easily without eldritch eyeball power. If Jon had a social media (the man most likely does not, outside of maybe potentially posting one picture of The Admiral) Jonah would stalk the hell out of it. And then feel guilty about it maybe.
With the knowledge of learning that gay marriage is now legal in the UK, Jonah would immediately begin scheming to formally court and marry Jon so he can fully utilize his companionship and power, and for no other reason, he swears to God. He would probably not get very far, though, as he is still an incredibly repressed person when it comes to expressing genuine affection. Jonah would then fully throttle Mordechai Lukas when Mordechai beats him to it and actually begins courting Jon in earnest. Jon, in turn- would be very confused and concerned.
Also! Music! As the options for music genres and composers were rather limited in the regency era- I imagine that the sheer amount of musical styles would be very compelling to them! Ballads and orchestral pieces would probably be the most familiar and comforting, but I do wonder if Jonah would have a fondness for jazz? Strangely, I think Barnabas would be the most open to different types of tunes! Though I suspect that the crew may be scandalized by how our lyrics today can be very forward or explicit at times. One struggle I had while writing Jonah’s POV was how to describe modern-day sounds like tape-recorder white noise and Nokia ringtones. I settled on describing chiptune ringtones as somewhat similar to bagpipes- but even then chiptune sounds are so alien to what we hear in nature! So I am very curious as to what they might think of the variety of instruments we have nowadays! I wonder how someone in the early 19th century would describe heavy metal or synthwave?
Thank you so much for sending in this ask!! It was very enjoyable to ponder on their thoughts of our modern era! Also, I very much understand art block! I am still trying to fight through my art and writer's block myself! Together we shall prevail!
Thanks once again Witherydithery! You are so hip and cool, and I think of your art all the time because,,, your really cool jonahjon pieces are a widget on my mobile homescreen.
