March 15th is what I call "the day Showdown Bandit was first announced".Trailer anniversary in other words. Good times bro. I remember that day like it was 4 years ago (oh my god). I thought for this occasion that only I think is special,I should post something about SB today. Because at some point or another I would have to. Unfortunately I don't have anything recent to post,so here's something I did a long time ago.

My designs for Carl Handler and Buddy Bublik (because apparently the text on the drawing doesn't give enough of a hint (look,this was done over a year ago, give me a break). Kind of crazy to think that,apart from their names,we never saw anything from them in Episode 1. The (in-universe) creators of Bandit,and not once did we get any info from these guys. Imagine BATIM but Joey is never mentioned once.

What was their relationship? Why and how did they bring the puppets to life? What happened to them after the show ended? Which one is the puppeteer,and if one is the puppeteer, what happened to the other one? So many questions,and we will probably never have answers.

Not that it will stop me from making designs and headcanons for them,but,still..

As I said,this drawing was already done a long time ago,so there are some details here and there that could have been improved (like the proportions) (and also there are maybe 1 or 2 details in these designs that I might change the next time I draw them again) but I still think it's a good drawing that still holds up. Not bad for something made more than a year ago.

Despite the fact that my pfp is the cowboy himself,I've only really talked about this game once. Maybe it's hard to be interested in talking about something that,well,is kind of dead these days. And let it remain clear,I'm still pretty sad about what happened to this project. Very sad.

For a while now I've kind of wanted to continue this "AU" I had at the time just... I don't know,for fun? I just think it would be interesting to do a story with these characters who didn't get time to shine thanks for certain people.

I wouldn't say this would be a case of "I stole these characters and the story is mine now" or "what would I do if I directed Showdown Bandit" (that second one is worse than the first one,ngl). But more a case of "I'm still sad and I still want to draw/write stuff with these characters from a game that was wronged". Basically I'm still going to treat this as an AU/fanfic based on a game that went nowhere.

But again,dead game,inspiration to do something related to it is low at the moment. So nothing related to this "AU" is coming out anytime soon.

But when the inspiration strikes? Then yeah, I think I can try to do something. It's only a matter of time.

#showdown bandit #carl handler #buddy bublik #crookedsmileart #only 4 main tags;damn #and this time I didn't even forget my art tag; that's great #yk;i talked about inspiration and lack thereof #but while i was making this desc;i'm listening to showdown bandit fan music #and rewatching old trailers #what are the odds;;;#for me to start having ideas again #there are few #but don't quote me on that #seriously don't do that #Also while we're here; shoutout to Lauren Synger #A long time ago I saw her saying that she would also like to return to Showdown Bandit one day; she's a real one for that.#Good to know that someone within the team still acknowledges the existence of this game #and don't try to pretend it never existed lol #Also she's a really nice person she's cool #Also shoutout to those who made SB fansongs #If one good thing came out of this game it was definitely the fan music.#They are good;man #AlsoALSOshoutout to the other 2 people who post sometimes on the SB tag #Making this community of less than 10 people still alive I see #You guys are also the real ones for that

"I had choice paralysis :(" is a KILLER line.

He's such a comedic powerhouse, I'm glad more people are getting exposed to him :'D

#smosh #smosh pit #tntl #shayne topp #zac oyama #tommy bowe #try not to laugh #dropout #smosh tntl 149 for anyone looking for the full video! since this took off :)#okay this broke containment noticeably so some additional context for anyone wondering #guy in trench is zac oyama. extremely funny comedian. he's on a streaming service called dropout. I advise looking up 'Make Some Noise' on #yt and watching the full episodes/compilations available for free there #He is in a youtube video with Smosh cast in an improv format they do called 'Try Not To Laugh'. Smosh cast folks are also very funny- a good #proportion of them at this point are also prifessional comedians. There are other Try Not To Laugh videos. a LOT of them. they can be #hit or miss but a lot of them are quite good (blind pairs or the musical episodes are all pretty good)#Smosh has multiple channels- this one is called Smosh Pit ajd also has other stuff they do. Challenge Pit is also quite funny. there is also #smosh games channel. smosh cast channel. and the main smosh channel #tbh i recommend looking up compilations of cast members to figure out what content you might find compelling but they make a pretty broad #spread of stuff at this point so odds are decent youll find something funny. esp if you already watch dropout :)#ok infodump over. glad ppl are having fun with this lol

I remember discussing Tintin casting choices with a friend from Germany and remarked how it was odd he often has an English accent in adaptations rather than a Belgian one, and my friend just replied "that's because Tintin gives incredibly strong English boy energy (derogatory)"

Here in the UK there's a lot of weird classism tied into accents. Today accent diversity and representation in broadcasting is actively pursued but in Tintin's time there certainly was a preferred accent to have.

imagine this exchange happens between pages 28-29 in The Crab with the Golden Claws

#tintin #adventures of tintin #comic #captain haddock #archibald haddock #snowy #milou #fanart #the crab with the golden claws #i remember tintin crafting a trumpet to communicate with an elephant #and he remarks he must get the accent correct #very odd scenario but it shows he would be a stickler for that sort of thing #i also have to say accents do not indicate how smart someone is #a lot of pundits use an english accent to sound more credible #but i have to say there are a lot of fucking idiots here #me included #thank you 2011 film for validating my scottish haddock headcanon #any french speakers who have read to this point i wonder what your hcs are for his french speaking accent

was this anyone else's first thought, or

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #anglerfish #YES hiking jade let's GO #send him up the mountain to look at some funky mushrooms #love how delicately he's holding his lantern with his little pinky out #ooh la la monsieur mastermind #now what are the odds we're getting gargoyle-club malleus next #probably not good but LOOK let me DREAM #i also very much want the equestrian club. GIVE ME HORSE BOYS #actually just give me everyone i want to see everyone #man though the june schedule looking pretty light over here in jp #which always makes me think something big is coming up...#whenever they pull a training camp on us it instantly sends my brain into overthinking mode #chances are good it's more main story though!#we've been averaging every-other-month story updates for a while now and the consistency is nice #i'm still not over the eight months between the end of episode 5 and the start of episode 6...#(IT'S FINE i want them to take all the time they need! i am just impatient)#(i will happily wait but i will be rolling around on the ground the entire time)
