Does anyone know if Luck was featured in some major article, video, tweet, or something at all mid-profile this last month?

I ask because I was checking stats on Baccano! Wiki just the other day and I noticed that it had a major spike in page views on December 11, going from 1,127 views on the 10th to 4,074 views on the 11th, and back down to 1,617 views on the 12th. Within the last 30 days, Luck's article has crowned the "top viewed" articles list with 4,452 views.

Needless to say, Luck's article typically does not dominate the "top viewed pages list." It sometimes is on that list, mind you, but it is never number 1, never far outpacing the other articles like this. (Seriously, Claire's article, which usually is in the top 3, 5, most viewed pages list, has 1,362 views within the last 30 days. Something is afoot). No articles typically breach 4,000 views within the last 30 days, for that matter! The highest individual article views on the "top viewed pages" list usually wind up around 2k views, maybe.

TL;DR, Luck's article has way more views within the past 30 days on Baccano! Wiki than is typical. Why?

Barbara Walters, the intrepid interviewer, anchor and program host who led the way as the first woman to become a TV news superstar during a network career remarkable for its duration and variety, has died. She was 93.

Walters' death was announced by ABC on air Friday night.

“Barbara Walters passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by loved ones. She lived her life with no regrets. She was a trailblazer not only for female journalists, but for all women,” her publicist Cindi Berger also said in a statement.

Thinking about the timing of Glass Onion and losing it like

(Below: Big Spoilers for Glass Onion. Like, end-of-the-movie big spoilers. Open at own risk.)

Okay, it’s set in 2020. I don’t remember if a year even came up for the first Knives Out, but it didn’t matter much either.

So we’re set a few months into the Pandemic. This is a great character establishing setting that I’ll get into in a sec. But pretty fast into the movie, this becomes a non-issue.

I didn’t think much about it until after the movie, but it is actually important that Glass Onion is set during Covid. Why?

Okay, back to square one: Character establishment. We open on our colorful cast of people Zoom Meeting-ing for work (Lionel, Claire), streaming for an audience (Duke, Whiskey, technically Claire), and Birdie holding a party of a solid 30+ people, all unmasked, all crammed into a tiny room with a fucking fire dancer guy wandering around to predictable results*.

*(! Just realized something! We’ll come back to this.)

And then we go to Blanc, our intrepid hero?, and he is sitting in his goddamn bathtub playing Among Us with a bunch of pals online. We can see the stacks of books and other entertainment he’s gone through during this time as the scene pans out. His husband is baking.

This is important not only as a change of tone (beyond Ms. Brand’s short intro), but marks Blanc as being very much the everyman character in comparison. This is, for people who didn’t live through the hell of being an “”essential worker”“, a fairly relatable experience.

Then we get to the dock and we get an absolutely fantastic character establishment setup Again, with Blanc in his fitted, functional mask, Lionel and Peg in their medical masks of different calibers, Claire in a cloth mask that she doesn’t quite pull up right, Birdie in her fucking glamor net, and Duke and Whiskey in no masks at all and being equally careless with everyone else’s health.

And then we get the employee rolling up with the mystery gun that, apparently, just makes people immune to Covid in one shot?

This is useful for the following flow of the movie, where the pandemic is a sidenote at best, but it’s also a crucial establishing shot in a very different way:

Miles Bron is a fucking jackass.

2-3 months into what will be an incredibly deadly pandemic and he just happens to roll up with a blatant perfect Covid vaccine (or implied to be, given how the movie goes I think they should fuckin worry about that! Also Blanc being the only one bothering to ask what it is in the first place!!). A perfect vaccine for his buddies, and no one else.

This dude could, if this shot actually does what’s implied, cure the global pandemic on at least some level and this plot point never comes up again for the rest of the movie.

This is an incredible character establishment, and what with the Red Death setup, the puzzle box, and Brand’s response thereof, we actually get a pretty comprehensive character profile of Miles Bron before he ever appears on screen. An entitled, selfish asshole who cares only about entertaining himself (in the company of people he knows only care about him for his money, and later we find out he knows that they can, and will, stab a friend in the back for that cash), even though he clearly has the resources to help others.

The last mention we get of the pandemic in any way (chronologically, it does come up in the flashback) is his comment about why he apparently has the Mona Goddamn Lisa in his living room.

The Louvre has no tourists and France apparently needed a loan, so he gets the ML for collateral*.

*There’s a post going around about how the Mona Lisa is not painted on canvas, but Bron’s copy is, so he probably got a print rather than the real deal.

This is the point at the movie where the Pandemic setting appears to fade out. It gets to the point where I was wondering if we really needed to set this in 2020/during Covid specifically.

But you know what?

Our movie (big spoilers) ends with the destruction of said Mona Goddamn Lisa, by dint of Elon Musk’s Miles Bron’s egotistical idiocy. The pieces are all laid out neatly, we can see it coming to an extent (I got slightly spoiled by Tumblr posts so I can’t say for sure).

Bron is going to lose every investor, every cent in his stocks, every deal he ever cut, everyone who ever thought he was cool, because he fucked up this badly. Because his wonder fuel was exactly as unstable and deadly as everyone had been warning him for months if not years.

And it torched the Mona Lisa.

The Mona Lisa he had, that (if it were the real deal) would not have been missed immediately, because there was no one in the Louvre.

Because there’s a pandemic just getting started.

The way these movies tie everything up in a bow, foreshadow the end and reference the beginning so neatly, is just amazing to watch.

(Also I just here realized that Birdie’s party with its blatant fire hazard ending predictably is foreshadowing for the exact same thing to happen to Bron because they’re both incautious egotists wow!)

🎃Inktober of 2022 - Day 28: 🍬 Candy

🇵🇷Me: 3 days to go! Can’t wait of how much Inktober postings I’ve gotten this year, but do hope is getting my secret art trade done in time. Anyways, it looks for this title of “Candy” is bringing back these two pups for a second time. Nothing too big still if I could, but at least a simple treak-or-treating part for the kids works fine. Especially fictional characters and of course some animals can have treats now and then. Though do be careful if your treats can get a bad taste for your mouth; in which case for this Inktober post being made. Takes places before Day 8 where they became lost in the forest, they’re just having their time going trick-or-treating in the street. Although for reason they needed to share one bucket full. While the girl pup got her lollipop for her delight, but the boy pup is disgusted after chewing a black licorice a bit. You know about black licorice that it taste bad or if I can take a taste….probably not becasue it’s not worth to “Take a Taste” in review. 🤢 That and it would properly killing you if you eating too much. It’s true at least when reading this. Link Here

🐰🖌Maxwell: Oh, man! 😟 He needed to toss that away from it, this licorice are the worst indeed! 🇵🇷Me: Calm down, Maxwell. At least hoping he won’t be eating too much since it was the only licorice they got. Still hoping they can toss it to the trash where it belongs. Good thing they still got more good treats in the bucket; including some doggy treats.

I found this on YouTube yesterday and I thought this will be an interesting music intro if we'll an official one or not, but still it was pretty good with its static noises and glitches taking over all cartoon worlds so horrifying. 😱

The Puppy Duo from Pibby - Doodle Sketch Art

Hey guys! I’m coming back at least during the last week of 🍀March to share my art post you’ve seen for today. Although not my upcoming Animal OC’s Bio that I’m working on for example, but as another fanart of sorts for Adult Swim’s “would be” upcoming show to keep an eye for official news.

As you can see this is a doodle sketch that I’m gonna explain through details a bit, but just wanted to know how much time and effort for these two pups in working designs. Although last time toincluded them from my previous posts was not bad. Still hoping I would continue working on their designs a bit better from what they actually look like on trailer. It took me to get started back in March. 21st, 2022 til the 27th day that you can see the date I’ve added in the bottom right during my progress.

The Rival, but friendlier ❤️🐰

Just dropping my random art for “The Amazing World of Gumball” fans out there while waiting if any news for an upcoming movie or at least an HBO Max series will come out eventually. Though can’t help for the most part from that Season 6 episode could’ve get an rewrite instead of making Baby Anais a devilish monster….I know. I originally saved this from few months ago for this year, by the way.

Now for saying in Spanish writing added for the first time. ⬇️

Solo dejo mi arte aleatorio para los fanáticos de "The Amazing World of Gumball" mientras espero si alguna noticia sobre una próxima película o al menos una serie de HBO Max saldrá eventualmente. Aunque no puedo ayudar en su mayor parte, ese episodio de la temporada 6 podría haber sido reescrito en lugar de convertir a Baby Anais en un monstruo diabólico … Lo sé. Originalmente guardé esto de hace unos meses para este año, por cierto.

Ross grinned and nodded in total agreement with Logan’s assumption. “It’s almost as if you know me, Master.” Hiking himself up a little higher so that he could nuzzle in sweetly against Logan’s neck, he kissed him there a few times, clinging happily to his strong Dominant. Ross giggled and playfully swatted at Logan’s arm. “You’re ridiculous.” He said, still laughing as he sat up slightly and ran his fingers through Logan’s cropped, black hair. “Because it’s you, yes, it counts.”

Open up to life, open up to people, new opportunities, self-love, patience, gratitude and awareness… I think that's exactly what the title could be described about my 2022. This year taught me to say "enough", allowed me to look at my life from a different perspective. I consider the time spent in the sky to be one of the most beautiful moments of the passing year. Harmony, optimism, strength, goodness, gentleness, self love, gratitude - these are just some of the spoils that I bring back from each expedition. I become attentive and open to new experiences, tastes, feelings and smells. Everything that touches me along the way makes me brave and love myself more and more. Thanks to this, now, I am richer for new experiences, I collect new skills and I have hungry for more…🍀
