The Blind Eye

Henry the Fifth

- ALWAYS encourage others to do their best.

- NEVER talk about people behind their back.

Antony and Cleopatra

- ALWAYS check your produce for pests. [They liked this one so much made a rap about it.]

- NEVER count your chickens before they hatch.

Hamlet

- ALWAYS act decisively

- NEVER tell your girlfriend to go to a convent and become a nun [Oh boy they REALLY liked this one]

Romeo and Juliet

- ALWAYS collect all the important information before making an important decision

- NEVER bite your thumb at us, sir. [They enacted this scene in the original language a lot, except they swapped every “sir” for “bro.”]

The Merchant of Venice

- ALWAYS pay your debts.

- NEVER judge based on appearances, because “all that glisters is not gold.”

The Tempest

- ALWAYS try to forgive others.

- NEVER be a colonizer. [Yes, a middle schooler said this]

Midsummer Night’s Dream

- ALWAYS stay on forest trails

- NEVER fall in love with an ass. [They were excited about this one for obvious reasons.]

Twelfth Night

- ALWAYS stay in touch with those important to us

- NEVER read other people’s mail

Macbeth

- ALWAYS wash your hands. [One of the girls performed Lady Macbeth’s entire Out Damn Spot monologue at the end of the semester]

Yeah, I was re-reading the Tempest like “hmmm will they even understand the subtle themes here… this might be a cut-and-dry magic story to them.”

Kid 1 (known intellectual): Wait, Prospero is like… a colonizer to the magical creatures. He showed up on their island and enslaved them.

Kid 2: Enslaving people is bad! Is Prospero a bad guy?

Kid 3: But Caliban is bad! He wanted to kidnap Miranda.

Me: Yeah, it’s kind of hard, isn’t it? Just like how in real life most people are a mix of good and bad.

Hey ya'll! Apologies for not having a Mystery Skulls Animated update last month, as there was some family related issues to take care of. However, we've got some pretty exciting news in store for this update.

One of our most long standing issues is finally complete! After all this time we can finally say we have finished all of our background art! The monthly image included is one of said finished backgrounds!

For the longest time background art has been something of a thorn in our side, so having that out of the way is a huge source of relief. At this point, we're still plugging away at Post Production and the last remaining special effects, but we're getting closer and closer to that finish line. While we're not quite yet ready to publicly state some sort of expected release date, we think we have a fairly decent idea of when that may be!

- Merch Update -

June 5th, we'll be working with Makeship again! This time around, the Deadbeat plush will be returning so if you missed out on them the first time around, you'll have a second chance. Also, this time they're Glow In The Dark! We'll also be introducing a new stylish Deadbeat T-shirt to go along with it! We'll go into more details when the time comes, so if you're in the market for some Deadbeat goods, keep an eye out.

That's it for this update as things are getting ever so closer to the finish line. As always, thanks to everyone for their support!

> they don't understand

> pull out illustrated diagram explaining what is objects and what is gambling

> look up how to buy a collectible

Labubus are blind bags but they're also blind bags with some of the most insane dark patterns stacked on top. The online store for them has a thing where they tell you what you got the second you order it online so that you can immediately try again if you didn't get the thing you wanted.
