COMING THIS SUMMER:
7 MONTHS
36 ARTISTS
1 REALLY PERSISTENT SKELETON
IT'S THE 2023 TRUNGOTHON MEGA ART TELEPHONE GAME
[RATED R]
RIDICULOUS. this was so big that even with tumblr's recently expanded image limit i still had to weld every other image together to fit it into one post, but if you want to see every image in its full glory, i made a page for it on my website (jankily hand-coded and probably not very mobile friendly).
it was so fun to see which elements stuck around and for how long. i still can't believe the skeleton got banished and then resurrected 15 iterations later!
huge thanks to everyone who participated. in order:
@mobileleprechaun, ink drinker, @dimetrodrawn, @escherbug, @gachimushi, @ikrutt, @dunwichdrawsstuff, @mathpope, @bedupolker, @solidagold, @a-beepbop, thenauticalwarlock, @ohpsshaw, @eisly, @juenavei, me, @librivore42, @greedol, @mechabutchzilla, @phanta-friends, @tickfleato, @skelizard, elixer, @espimyte, @noctomnis-art, @bluedotjpeg, @fetus-cakes, @iguanodont, @flame-shadow, @kombuchaclock, @slimekingmike, @crtastrophe, @leona-florianova, @skelebee, @nutspider, @palossssssand, and gachimushi again for the header image to this post
whew! now time to seriously consider a yearlong 72-artist game...

i'm going to lose my mind <- i always assumed walt kane chronicles was black and i'm stunned to learn that he WASN'T <- this is the second time they've assumed a riordan character was black and was startled by art that said they weren't
idk apparently the person in the pick is anubis and i fucked up which makes less sense tbh why would the ancient egyptian god anubis be white...? also i thought they shared a body? but i never read the books so idk. based on some tags i seem to have fucked up tho sorry about that ig not like i can edit polls unfortunately

I AM DISTRAUGHT
spoilers, massive spoilers under cut, also it's three am so-
- ALISON! PREGNANT! I'M SO, I'M FUCKING- IT'S A LOT IM SO HAPPYY
- her and mike deciding to go for gender neutral names? And mike casually saying baby cooper could change their name in the future? dead oh my god
- the 'ew thomas' count rose to dizzying heights this series, but spliced with that were genuine moments of pure joy at him also
- THOMAS SCOTTISH
- pat being impervious to alison's pranks was incredible, this man is the loml
- kitty's death made me cry, still coming to terms with eleanor's characterization, but i'm not mad
- also thomas going 'bitch' every two seconds had me shRIEKING
- clever girl
- pat and julian's whole north v south argument had me in legitimate stiches, and cap's contribution was so cute and wholesome, like a border collie
- robin this season made me cry almost every fucking time istg, i was generally a mess
- everybody! carrying humphrey about! Nice!
- walk in safe!
- kitty mimicking a pregnant alison was everything
- have to get this out before i combUST FUKIN CAPTAIN DEATH AND NAME AND FUCK YOU BEN WILLBOND
- sibling asked me to explain myself at this point and i genuinely had to collect myself for a mo i was so choked up
- fanny assuring him that he's brave
- pat's only wish to be with the others in the house
- im making a part two for this because my brain is melting so last two points
- only criticism is that it feels? oddly incomplete? i dunno, maybe my expectations were wired too specifically, but it feels lacking in some way, but ofc! There's a Christmas special still on it's way, so there could be some stuff getting fleshed out- but overall, something felt a little off but also i am an empty husk right now so
- and finally, simon's performance in the finale as julian pours his heart out to alison, the way his breath hitches at the full emotion of it and desperately trying to shoo it away- keep himself together, god that might be the finest bit of acting this whole show i'm not even fucking kidding, it rent an honest to god gasp from me, so fucking talented

Oh how quickly we went from having a computer in our pocket that can easily give us useful information to that same accessibility being transformed into a moneygrab of top results feeding people sometimes incredible harmful computer generated misinformation.

Went to an event called Queer Awakenings which was a panel discussing the films that made people feel seen and was the realisation that they were queer. It opened up to the audience and I got to talk about The Captain and how I related to the way his story was about self acceptance and feeling comfortable in your own skin. I genuinely did not fully understand the concept of a Comfort Character til I saw Cap.
We're very different in many ways but the thing that resonated with me the most was the fact he never explicitly Comes Out™. That's not the point of his story. Everyone can clearly see he's a gay man. It's the fact that the Captain learns that it's okay to be gay. He learns that he doesn't have to hide that part of himself (anymore).
We both have being a gay man in common. But that's not what stuck with me personally. I've never liked the idea of sitting down and "having a talk" and coming out (specifically as trans). It just sounds excruciating and Cring™ and "why should I have to explain myself" blah blah blah. I remember when I finally came out to my parents and told them my name I somehow felt stupid for choosing it. AAAAAAA.
ANYWAYS, even before I had the words for Trans I knew something was up. But when I finally discovered the word I immediately went "no that's not me. I just find having a chest annoying that's all" (which some cis AFAB people might and fair enough but that wasn't the case for me). It took me YEARS to accept that I was in fact trans like how it took the Captain YEARS to accept the fact he was gay.
It's that slow realisation that it's okay to be who you are. Deep down we both knew what was always there. But being able to tell ourselves that it's okay and safe and all that shit was the tough part. And seeing the Captain have that same struggle (in a different but still queer way) was absolutely groundbreaking for me. A lotta the queer stories I'd seen up until that point were focused on Coming Out™ and people being unaccepting. Ghosts was probably the first time I'd seen someone struggle with Accepting Themselves.

Made my Fallen London character in the sims because it helps me flesh out a personality and ohhhh this bitch. They deffo murdered their husband on the surface, fled to the Neath and has been Up to No Good ever since.
They're a former Burlesque performer who still puts on private shows for very close friends, many of which are Devils ;3
hasn't sold their soul yet but! Who knows!
Is trying very hard to climb the social ladder for personal gain, CAN fight but much prefers someone else do it for them, and can drink you under a table then get up on it to recite a lovely ballad after
