В общем, эстетика на моего самого любимого француза: Жака Паганеля. Мало кто с ним знаком, потому вот ключевые черты: география (и все, что с ней связано), круглые очки, теплые тона, а дальше уже как хотите. Спасибо еще раз

So, You're The Bad Parent Of A Rival In A Mainline Pokémon Game...
john silver refuses to tell us his story. he lies, and lies, and lies about it. when confronted, he refuses to tell the truth. it’s one of my favourite things about the character, but the thing is— he tries to control the narrative, and he really does at first. but, in the end, he gets swallowed up by the stories others have made up— by the lies others have told about him.
jon steinberg said in fathoms deep that silver’s been removed from his own story, that his curse is that he’s stuck in someone else’s, and he can’t get out. he does everything he can to get out in the beginning, and then he physically can’t, and then he gets so entangled in the story he couldn’t possibly leave— it would fall apart without him (in the end, he makes it fall apart).
billy makes a decision that shapes silver’s whole identity. and even though silver does make the story fall apart in a way, he still can’t get out. and this is what survives him, what has reached us— the lie another man made up.
silver doesn’t just get entangled in it. he becomes it. he becomes a legend, a ghost, a story. it isn’t even one he chose to tell.
recently realised how utterly bonkers the adult protagonists of treasure island are.
you've got a doctor who's a former soldier who carries parmesan in his snuff box (???). his best friend is a mildly unhinged squire who has a personality adjacent to a reality TV star when he's upset/angry (which is fairly often but thankfully not for long) and yet is an incredible marksman for someone who seems like he'd go limp-wristed at the sight of a gun. and then there's your captain who of all things goes Ah I Know What I Should Bring To This Island of Horrors! A British Flag! and then he proceeds to fit that - and more! - under his coat.
what's going on with these three. they could have an adventure-comedy show all to themselves.
NEW RENDERS WHO CHEERED
Asdfghjkl I'm screaming??? Ah yes, the chapter where Evan takes neil out on a date-
My Grandad is teaching my little brother about Poker and I have discovered something that makes me want to scream.
Remember this ace? The one which is so key to Turnabout Trump?
It’s a black ace. In poker, a hand with all the black aces is a “Dead Man’s Hand”. This is because the black ace is a symbol of death.
which. Oh my god. It’s brilliant. There’s so many layers to it: the physical death of Shady/Zac Gramarye, the metaphorical death of Kristoph’s plans, the fact this represents Phoenix slipping to the depths others have accused him of (forgery) and the death of his integrity.
I LOVE THEMM
I LOVE the fact that in each of these 3 cartoons there's always one smiley character that laughs every second of his life
SO!!! A little crossover of 3 of my favourite childhood cartoons by David Cherkassky - "Treasure Island", "Adventures of Captain Wrongel" and "Dr. Ouch-It-Hurts" ^^
