IN ADDITION to my warioware birthday group shot, i have FINALLY made cover art for all of my almost-a-year-old warioware character playlists. And in honor of warioware day i am officially releasing them into the wild. Enjoy these carefully curated slices of everyone's brains, and sorry in advance.
(There is 1 more cover/playlist that i could not fit on this post due to the image limit, so there is a fun surprise in there for you to find...)
a story about obsession, particularly with a piece or form of media, taking over the main character's life to the point where it begins to solely define it
uses issues with literal eyesight/perception (blindness, hallucination, obstruction of view, etc) to illustrate this obsession
main character haphazardly journeys into a vast unknown abyss in the hope of understanding the object of their obsession
strained relationship between a character letting a sole obsession take over their life and a corresponding character trying to get away from the object of that same obsession, by any means necessary, and yet it's clear at the end that said characters still deeply care for one another
breaks the fourth wall using the format of the medium itself (footnotes, fonts, watermarks, etc)
more specifically, by taking EXTRADIEGETIC formatting elements and making them DIEGETIC (i.e. characters IN the story are aware of them)
even MORE specifically, strategically uses the color blue to continuously remind the IRL viewer/reader/whatever of the (omni)presence of the object of obsession
cameos from basically every well-known person ever in the IRL field/community related to the story, and also several not
official music associated with the story fucks severely
guy with a first name starting with "s" and the last name "wozniak" is extradiegetically referred to as "woz"
is a piece of media im normal about (lying)
borderline forever is gamer comedy house of leaves
