todays, yesterdays, and day before yesterdays falklers! literally i have not been drawing much this week, just really cant lock in like i need to . anyways! 🐇
do i think satosugu ever actually met up for any reason during those ten years after the kfc breakup? no. do i love the idea? yes, because it would make their relationship that much more complicated and probably make them both worse but the ways in which that would happen would be so interesting to watch.
Hey, come here a bit. Walk with me on this trail of thought:
Wondering how many kids around Li Ling's age grew up watching him on the news, following vids and feeds keeping tabs on him, hearing rumours about all the stuff he did, and ended up with gigantic, fat crushes on him. How many fathers and mothers bemoaned hearing their children gush about everything he did? Kids trying to emulate his style and speech so they could be as cool as they thought he was. Making thirst trap/heart throb vids of him during his teen years. Preteen/teen espers fantasing about fighting alongside him and marrying him one day. Nonesper preteens/teens fantasing about being saved by him and marrying him.
This went down in 2007+? What if Li Ling was the Justin Beiber of that era that the now current adults either unashamedly reminisce about or would rather be choked by a rusted barbed wire before admitting to?
Would Li Ling even know that, in some child's room, there are whole ass shrines dedicated to him?
Would he ever know of the multitude of polls either comparing him/his younger self to men like Ahmed, Gaius, Narmer, and wars breaking out in the comments of avid fans defending him and trying to cheat votes in his favour?
For my shippers:
Think of Lewis and/or Tang Xuan and/or [insert your of age preferred pairing] having memorabilia of that phase in their lives and desperately trying to pretend it out of existence. And Li Ling being confused af when he finds something, like a crudely made face pillow of himself, random laminated pictures of his face edited onto a groom's body, or an old, forgotten music playlist named "When I become Mr. /Mrs. Li", and the guilty party cruising through denial and trying to play it off.
Alternately, think of your preferred ship NOT going through that phase and thinking Li Ling was just a douchey kid that got away with too damn much cause people thought he was cute or psychotic or some shiii, only to realise that they somehow fell in love with the man... And yeah, he is a douche that gets away with too damn much cause he's hot and crazy and shiii.
I think it would be CRAZY if he didn't have some sort of following.
There may not be any “major” attraction on Motion Path but hiking it during the summer months provides lots of smaller things to look out for. Lots of marsh berries like bake apples, an amazing view of the Cape Spear path along with the lighthouse when the weather is clear, the aerial view of the rolling hills, and not to mention the abundance of plant life that thrives in the marshes.
Definitely an underrated trail in my humble opinion.
This is an important piece of lost paleomedia for several reasons. First of all, it's the source of all the "Old Timey Fossil Prospecting" footage used in dinosaur documentaries from the 1980s onwards. That's a pretty important find in and of itself.
For a while, I thought it had a little extra footage from the much edited down and lost from Ghost of Slumber Mountain - but the footage freely available online is just in such muddy quality that it's hard to see (the Blu Ray of the 1925 Lost world restoration has a much cleaner version).
Still, this is an important piece of Paleomedia history, and it doesn't even have an IMDB page! As near as I can tell, its' from 1922 (according to online sources that share it), and the timing checks out (it needs to be at least older than 1918 to have footage from Along the Moonbeam Trail).
