Welcome to Tin Town!

Here's all you need to know about us!

...

Tin Town is an independent multimedia art project created for digital platforms; a thematic collection of art, literature, comics, and music, among other things!

Every addition tells the story of four characters in an industrial yet decaying future, threatened by an imminent catastrophe!

They must embark on a mission to save the world and, most importantly, break free from their old lives in the name of adventure!

What can we say? It's just another story about a group of friends saving the world!

Or is it?

...

Now, let's take a look at our beloved characters! Starting with...

Jen!

Feisty, amiable, and bearer of genuine sincerity. Her bubbly attitude makes her the heart that binds the team together, and her fiery passion makes her someone who always strives for the better! Though it is well said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions...

Ted!

The calm anchor amidst chaos; cordial and serene. His honorable character brings a soothing flow and balance, making him the dependable foundation of the group. Don’t take him for granted, however! He’s not your everyday teddy bear and can really pack a punch!

Ivy!

Decisive and down-to-earth; her low-key nature and spot-on observations make her the master key of the bunch. With an unwavering focus, she keeps her promises to heart and will do anything to see them fully accomplished, although the means taken can be... unconventional.

And... Kev!

A spunky, spirited firecracker that is sure to be your partner-in-crime! Exuding spontaneity everywhere he goes, he's a wildcard among his peers. Even so, he often finds himself stuck in a whirlwind of his own, so he may need a helping hand every now and then.

...

A little more about Tin Town:

Tin Town arises from a deep dissatisfaction with the current state of society and the life-consuming exhaustion that comes with being part of it.

Tin Town is also a wide compound of various references and interests! Art-wise, it takes heavy inspiration from retro-futurism, which helps further enhance the commentary on industrialization.

In the same way, we draw inspiration from surrealism and op-art, as it forces us to find new, unconventional ways to portray our vision.

More contemporary references include internet projects like Homestuck, which also rely on multimedia storytelling.

Most importantly, Tin Town originates from the love that comes with being human, the feeling that there’s more to life than what it seems to offer, and the experience of fighting in the name of life in a world where everything seems to fall apart.

...

So, if you managed to read to this point, we invite you to stick around to see what we've got in store! Tin Town optimally relies on public engagement, and it can only reach its full potential with your help!

'Spy Again' is so much sadder if you know the ending of the show. Like, the whole reason Curt gets back in the field was because he thought that's what Owen would want ('Owen would want me to do this / So I know that I'll get through it'). But then it's revealed that the entire time that Curt's been mourning, Owen's been working to dismantle the role of spies by making them useless, just so he could get revenge. The only reason Curt pulled himself out of his depression and alcohol problem is because he believed that's what Owen would want him to do, but by the end of the show, we see that he couldn't have been more wrong.

God the writing of this show is incredible.

Warning: this post contains pro-Clivesdale propaganda

Viewer discretion is advised.

This is where I reveal my true colours as a Chemist and give you Not So Bad from Spies Are Forever (credit: TalkFine & Tin Can Bros), rewritten about Clivesdale. If you have any suggestions please feel free to tell me!

Ever since The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals It is like everybody's still so critical. After what happened. But don't judge a book, just on its look. The inside must be examined. Sure, we've made some mistakes From small ones to great But did everyone have to get so mad? Here's my verdict No one's perfect Perhaps Clivesdale's not so bad…

One, two three.

People say we were privileged Raising the Nantucket Bridge. But Clivesdale is not so bad They made such a fuss But they don't know us Clivesdale is not so bad Our morality, unblemished We love to shout GO CHEMISTS But no one understands We're responsible, we're respectable, We've got the Cherry Festival Clivesdale is not so bad They say we're optimistic But we don't get apocalyptic Still they turned around and infected us We worked hard, bodies and brains To win the big game But everyone else objected So we never got the glory And you rewrote the story And I feel it from my cherries to my chemist. Once you get to know us We're not so atrocious. HEY! Clivesdale is not so evil.

In fact, Clivesdale, we are quite good.

Beware: contains a cough 1 min in that totally drags you out of it lol

Went to Llandaff Cathedral last night to hear Holst's The Planets suite. I know it's super white bread, but hot damnnnnnnnnnnnnn if this part of Jupiter ain't THE fucking shit. The acoustics weren't as impactful as I was imagining but I was stuck off to the side a bit. Still got some good sound moments tho. This clip above was a physical pleasure to hear thank youuuuu Also gave me a new appreciation of Saturn.

the great thing about al as a character is how he's ruthless and evil but also a very overworked micromanager so his to do list is like 1) kill employee 2) prepare snacks for the town meeting 3) designate someone to spy on the woman who's husband i had killed 4) order a piano

HNOC is so good but Jonny attempting a southern American accent kills me every time it’s so funny

i should have anticipated that making a playlist with the intent of compiling songs that feel like coming home would be a gut punch
