Eye Gouging - Tumblr Posts
"Snake...? I c-can't feel my eye.." (made up this line) ----------------------------------- Tw: Eye gouge / removal Note: Wow, for once I try to draw Otacon. Which I never did in a while. Was gonna draw this with a wendigo or a skinwalker but changed my mind last minute. Sorry if this doesn't look as good, kinda rushed on this one. Otacon / Hal Emmerich belongs to Hideo Kojima and Konami.
Goretober Day 3: Eye Trauma "Aww, don't cry, Gracie! At least you still have that other one!" ---------------------------------------------------- Fun fact: This is actually a redraw of an unposted drawing. Any friend of mine on discord might be familiar with this girl. Using this Goretober prompt: docs.google.com/document/d/1RC…Grace belongs to me. A ref for her can be seen in Picrew here. sta.sh/026tjo91zpgx
Mothership Movie: Event Horizon
I've been watching movies recommended in the Warden's Operations Manual for Mothership, and figured this was as good a place as any to record my thoughts on them. Most recent: Event Horizon
Acting: Awesome. The only thing holding the movie together, tbh.
Visual Effects: Very good. There was a bit in the opening sequence that screamed "CG", but overall it was quite well done. Though… I do have to wonder about the design of the titular ship: It looks like it was intentionally made for the horror genre? Why are there spikes on everything, for instance? Looking for the Watsonian explanation, as the Doylist one is obvious.
Writing & Editing: So, apparently the original cut was 40 or 50 minutes longer, and they cut out a lot of gorn (new-to-me portmanteau of "gore" and "porn"). There are several places in the cut version where it feels like there's an unexplained jump in logic, time, character progression, and so forth. I don't know that the longer version works better, but it is plausible that it would? [And, no, I have no interest in seeing a version with more gorn in it, whether or not it fixes some of the holes.]
One thing that a longer cut is not going to fix is the illogic of making a decoupling system that relies on explosives. I mean, seriously. Train cars can connect and disconnect without resorting to explosives. This is existing technology. Sure, sealing against the vacuum of space makes it trickier, but, it's also REVERSIBLE. So go and find some other less nonsensical reason for there to be a bunch of explosives on board, mmmkay?
Mothership Themes: Haunted derelict Came back wrong Space Madness
Magnus Fears: You can argue for most of them, so I decided to go with the top three. I suspect "Flesh" would be in there for the full cut. The Vast - Space The Spiral - Hallucinations and general Space Madness The Desolation - Wanting to burn everything and everyone
