wada sez: This strip had an overwhelmingly positive response at the time of its publication. Per a comment of his on deviantART, this was Tristan Jones’ first time coloring someone else’s lineart! Clean inks and a grayscale-colored version of the artwork can be seen below the break, together with a preview for tomorrow’s strip.

So, I've been feeling another mosaic post coming on, another cluster of things that have been associated together and weighing on my mind.

I finally watched Titanic, several decades late after being a teen girl who was not allowed to see it in theaters like all my peers.

It's an amazing movie, although very much of it's era (complementary). It's so very much a mass appeal movie, with a modern frame story and spectacle and special effects up the wazoo. If the length isn't too much for you, I would recommend it in general. I understand why James Cameron is given so much rope after it. Kinda amazed that all the teen girls crazy for Leonardo DeCaprio and gushing about what a great actor he was turned out to be right.

But, at it's heart, Titanic is a disaster film. A ton of the characters Are going to die and that's the point of making the audience get to know them and care about them.

And as a disaster film, it's about nature and resource/time constraints and human error and how sometimes, even being a wealthy asshat who has no conscience won't save you.

Somehow, James Cameron got a lot of ladies creaming their panties for a movie about suicidal ideation, class, ageing, memories, and death.

Also while I’m fawning over the arcade, the Tron Legacy pinball machine had an itty bitty arcade cabinet in there with a working screen and it was the cutest fucking thing:

Video under the cut since it has a strobe/flashing lights:

With every new rerecording, taylor makes me question how devoted of a swiftie I am to her because there is at least 1 new lyric I learn now that she finally learned how to enunciate in her music 😭😭😭

Made some mosaics of Persona 3 movies they are for sure my favorite game adaptation! Even though I prefer the game more the movies were amazing too and made me love Makoto's character even more I had such a great time experiencing then and highly recommend both game and the movies to everyone!

Lego Movie - Ayaya! (but Karen Kujo had appeared in the Lego Movie)

So since they made John Kyle, I think DC should come out with an animated mosaic movie, starring Kyle

Transformers: Mosaic #580 - "Prime Factors - Part One"

wada sez: This is the first of a mirrored pair of strips by Bove, serving to establish that when Optimus Primal took on Prime’s spark in Earth’s prehistoric past, there was some degree of interplay between their memories; Optimus Prime’s iconic ironic line from The Transformers: The Movie is thus made literal, as he knows the outcome of the battle is predetermined. On deviantART, Bove remarked: “I always thought it was a strange thing to say unless you KNEW that one of you wouldn't be coming back. After all, he's fought Megatron many times before and they both left standing at the end. Now we know why... ;)” Bove would explain the mechanics of this in detail on Seibertron: “Just to explain, the idea is that Prime has had these visions since waking up on Earth for the first time but that it is only now that he's able to start seeing the shape of what's coming rather than just a feeling, which is why he says "Then it hits me" at the point he does.” He further clarified that Prime was not remembering his own death firsthand, but rather has Primal’s knowledge of Cybertronian history: “Well Primal would know that Prime died, as BW characters come from a time at least 300 years after G1 and would certainly know the circumstances of it. It's more the idea that a fragment of Primal's knowledge stayed behind, in the same way that the accumulated wisdom and knowledge of previous leaders is supposed to stay within th [sic] Matrix. That may not have been enough for Prime to have crystal clear knowledge of the future but certainly would have enough to have premonitions and a sense of deja vu about the circumstances.” To one reader who pointed out that knowledge of Earth had been deliberately censored by the time of the Maximals and Predacons, Bove said: “I don't think that was the case but I'm happy to be corrected. The presence of the Matrix (and references to Unicron) implies the events of the Movie would be canon in BW continuity. Black Arachnia also mentions that Starscream was killed by Galvatron, so again the events of the Movie at least were known. BW Megatron does try to kill G1 Prime so that the Autobots never win the war that leads to the BW status quo. If the events on Earth had not mattered or the information lost then Prime would not have been important to the outcome of the war on Cybertron and not worth Megatron's efforts.” Bove’s grasp on Beast Wars continuity has always been, well, shaky. Again, I find myself baffled by the behind-the-scenes process of the Mosaic project, as Bove remarked that this story had been written “about 3-4 years ago” by the time of its publication!

Intro from The Long Ships (1964)

Thank you, Crain’s Detroit! You are well-represented in our dining room!

A dear friend gave me great advice yesterday. We don’t have to give our trophies back. What she meant by that was that we don’t have to feel some need to repay recognition by pursuing the next great thing. She also suggested we don’t have to carry our trophies around with us everywhere we go (literally or figuratively) as that can burden us and prevent us from seeing/grabbing the next opportunity…
