the thing about wanting more art of your favourite characters is that the internet is absolutely overflowing with artists advertising their open commissions on every single platform you will ever visit. people regularly advertise commissions in final fantasy 14 party finder. if you’re ever thinking “damn I wish there were more pictures of-” all you have to do is do a tumblr or twitter or whatever search for “commission” or “commissions” or even something like “commissions open” or “commission info” and you’ll be presented with swathes of artists jumping at the bit to be paid to draw you that picture and offering this service in every conceivable price range.
speaking as an artist who does commissions myself I’ve always found it very easy to get over mild disapproval of the commissioner’s tastes once the invoice gets paid
People infantilizing Sinclair is so funny to me because he’s literally like 20. He’s a fully grown man. He’s filled with so much pent up aggression that he had to get his face smashed to to keep him from desecrating a corpse in a blind rage and later literally tried to ignore his legs melting off so that he could crawl to his Trauma Woman and stab her and people call him an uwu soft bean because he’s 5’2 and cries sometimes.
In the book, Sinclair doesn’t struggle with pent up aggression so much as he struggles with not trusting his own good judgement and intuition (which can lead to aggression, I suppose). He habitually defers to the lead and wisdom of others instead of finding the people he actually resonates with. First it’s his own family, then Kromer, then a local party animal (forget his name), and then Pistorius, who was a friend Sinclair needed at the time but who wasn’t good for him in the long run. Demian is the only one that *gets* Sinclair because Demian knows about the struggle between doing what everyone else tells you is “right” and following your own path (many times doing what you’ve been told is “wrong”). Demian’s first conversation with Sinclair is “maybe Cain wasn’t bad, maybe the Bible was just written by cowards. Maybe Abel had it coming.” This is where “The Mark of Cain” comes in, which is apparently an overarching theme in Limbus.
Kromer in the game acts like an inverse Demian: where Demian saw Sinclair’s inner turmoil and tries to show him how to free his heart and mind, Kromer uses that turmoil to manipulate him into doing terrible things. LbC Sinclair’s rage comes from knowing he was manipulated, making it even harder for him to trust himself. He’s like if his Book Persona had gone the Other Way, and further refused himself the “evil” thoughts and inclinations.
In both the book and the game, Sinclair has a bird motif. He really is like a baby bird learning how to break out of his shell and fly. But as cute as they are, from sparrows to eagles, birds are still predator animals. And that’s my favorite way to look at Sinclair: oh he’s cute right now, look at him whimper… but watch out— they grow up fast.
The one where he fought some demons, and Miroku used hIs suck-hole, and Kagome fell down a well, and Sango carried around a large croissant, and Shippo got kicked in the head by me, and I yelled: “KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Even Weird Al has had that™
experience with Tony Hawk
Tony Hawk IS Forrest Gump
So I looked up why and how this happened, and it turns out Weird Al hired a company called Birdhouse Skateboards to provide some “skate/punk” extras for the video. Birdhouse Skateboards is a company started by Tony Hawk, so not only did Weird Al end up putting Tony Hawk in his video without realizing it, he actually hired Tony Hawk’s company without realizing it! And then Tony Hawk just decided to go along as one of the extras himself.
BTW, he’d already won like 40 contests already, some of them international skateboarding contests. So it’s not like Weird Al cast some unknown skateboarder who ended up becoming World Famous Skateboarder, he was already well known and was running his own Skateboarding company.
Think of it this way. This wasn’t ‘Weird Al got Tony Hawk to be in his video’, this was ‘Tony Hawk found a way to be in a Weird Al Video.’
The chance that Tony Hawk has infiltrated your location or piece of media is low
even though she died two years before i was born, there were always tabloids in the grocery store about JonBenét Ramsey’s death and “new breaks in the case”. i would always stare at them and wonder who the pretty blonde girl was that died. surprisingly i didn’t know anything about 9/11 until grade school.
The death of Freddie Mercury.
9/11 for sure.
Princess Diana’s death
O.J. Simpson’s trial.
Oh wait yeah actually the Simpson trial
The NHTSA rulling to regulate reflective tape on the back of tractor trailer trucks. Also Kosovo.
I remember seeing it on TV when it happened. I was sitting on red, wool berber carpet watching a Zenith console TV.
I was 4.
I was in kindergarden when the Challenger blew up as we watched it
Vaguely the 99 election
Princess Diana’s death. I was nine at the time but my parents never watched the news much at home. I distinctly remember being at my grandparents playing in their living room when they and my parents started talking about her dying and looking up to see the coverage.
Martha Stewart being tried for insider trading. I was seven and felt bad for her because she seemed so nice on TV
words cannot describe the childlike wonder and joy felt when you enter a restaurant and they have those fancy soda machines capable of creating Wondrous Concoctions
