we need more dials and knobs and levers again. this world is lacking in dials and knobs and levers. it's one of our biggest issues.

what is your opinion on this video (and frankly this film as a whole if you've seen it)

I’ve not seen this move but I think the Willy’s Wonderland pinball machine in that video might actually be a rethemed Devils Dare pinball machine from Gotlieb

The one from the movie is on the left, and the original Devils Dare pinball machine is on the right. Notice how they have the same exact game layout.

Movies do this all the time for 2 reasons.

When they need a machine with an in-universe theme it is significantly cheaper to replace the art on a pinball machine than it is to make a new one from scratch.

i fully believe that the broke family's pinball machine came about because one day skip won literally like $150 on a scratch off and instead of buying food diapers a cute gift for his wife ANYTHING he went right to a stupid pawn shop and loaded that thing dangerously into his truck. not strapped down right or anything just raw in the bed held on with prayers. then had the nerve to tell brandi it was a birthday gift for dustin (his birthday was 3 months ago)

I kept dreaming of making my own version of a goofy creature like Webkinz Googles and Beanie Babies Patti. So I carefully studied their Amazing Shapes, made my own pattern, and made this guy! I'm so happy because it's my first time making a pattern, and it came out exactly how I wanted! I embroidered its eyes a bit lopsided, but that's okay, and I'm very happy ^^ 💕

Luigi: Mario the bad guys keep trying to turn us against each other what do we do? Quick make something up!

Mario:

Luigi: ...U SERIOUSLY FORGOT THE CANNOLI THING!!

Mario: I SAID I WAS SORRY OK!

Actually, that fits with my headcanon that there is one (1) thing that The Mario Brothers argue about semi-regularly, and that's cooking.

They are both really good at cooking and baking, but they both have very different methods in the ways they approach a recipe and maintain the kitchen. If one is cooking, the other brother has to be either out of the room or engrossed in their own separate recipe, otherwise backseat baking will ensue.

So if there was one subject to bring up if they needed to have a performative yet believable fight, it'd be that one time Mario screwed up the cannolis.

hi!! i’m a classics major and am so entranced by your art and how you interact with history and literature, it really inspires me and expands my brain all the time. SO spicy.

anyways, I was wondering if you’d be comfortable talking a bit about your degree (s) and how they’ve influenced your artistic/critical analytical processes??

oh man, I have exactly zero degrees. like a true jester, I went to a trade art school, so I don't even have an art related degree, I've got a certification of surviving hell completion

the way art and history interact for me is that a lot of it circles back to trying to find ways to talk about something. history doesn't necessarily repeat, but it often rhymes, haunts, and cannibalizes. some eras of history are equal parts history and a stage, and a stage serves as a place to say something without necessarily having to be in it. the bossism politics of the philippines rhymes with the faction politics of the late republic more often than it doesn't. watching the marcoses crawl back into power was like watching the medici return to florence. duterte said he was like julius caesar crossing the rubicon, and over 6,000 were murdered under his regime. somethings are the same.

a lot of it feels like a puzzle, and I like it when pieces come together. more often than not, there's something current going on that prompts me to look back into history for something comparable, either as a stage, or just to feel like I'm not losing my mind, that other people had to deal with this shit too.

I was a teenager when the original assassin's creed games were coming out, and I used to go to libraries with other fans and we'd just sit in the non fiction sections and read everything that was on a shelf, and then go outside or whatever and start talking about where the games diverged from history and try to figure out what the next game would do based on whatever we learned. and I just kind of. kept doing that even when I stopped playing the games because the story sucked ass, but because there's already a second intersection of fiction working along side historical analysis, it unlocks a bunch of other stuff in the back of my mind while I take notes on something.

the gore you read in the thebaid reminds me a lot of imperial chines torture literature, and now we've got imperial horror and while we've moved out of the ancient Mediterranean but it's a whole body of work that I'm now looking at while thinking about rome, and somewhere in there, I'll probably find some literary theme that's cool and I'll start researching whether or not someone's examined like. the renaissance from that lens. what does the gore mean. what happens when history unfairly maligns and scapegoats someone. what happens when a foundational sacrifice goes wrong.

one of the most gut wrenching things I ever read was about how rome took any record of spartacus' words and buried it, and now I spend too much time thinking about what words we put in the mouths of dead people.
