Bluriginals

watching the among us show, but only one or two episodes a day to fill the void infinity train left in my heart

mighty cuphead adventure reminds me that in an ideal world we'd be able to easily develop for older hardware the same way a painter might choose to use acrylics or watercolor or digital. being able to imitate the attributes of past generations on modern hardware is cool and the economical way to go of course. but how cool is it to say "oh i'm making a sega master system game in 2027", you know?

the problem with trying to segue from arcane to the original league lore is that from what i've gathered most of the characters used in arcane aren't even the good ones. they're like the c/d-tiers who got elevated in adaptation. like im fully expecting that if i were to read ekko or singed's stuff i'd be at risk of forming more investment in league. but if go read jinx's original lore it'll be like "yup, that sure is a character who is also in the video game"

the coolest bit of world building owl house ever did was that one line in the season 2 premiere where eda talks about having to get specific food for luz because her stomach isn't used to the meals they regularly eat on the boiling isles

a creative having the desire to come back and reiterate on their finished work after 5, 10, or 20 years could be a fascinating, introspective, and fun thing but unfortunately that aspect of the subgenre is almost entirely subsumed by the need To Sell Toys and jiggle keys. alas.

sometimes you'll be watching an early simpsons episode and yeardley smith will make lisa sound like the sweetest girl in the whole wide world
