Over The Garden Wall

So apparently that last comic was based on Cartoon Network's Over The Garden Wall, which looks Bawsome!

Here's the pilot:

Quality products for the discerning monstrosity.

A sampling of their wares includes Fang Floss, The Collywobbles, Escalating Panic, and Impacted Ear Wax.

Gone to Sleep

Moby and Kelli Scarr make a song based on this picture by artist Phil Toledano.


The video about their creation process (and the song itself) gives a great vibe of eerie desolation.




Author's note: the first night I watched this it inspired a fascinating nightmare about Changeling: the Lost's "Gentry", so I'm considering it prime fodder for that game at least.

Everlong (Foo Fighters)

An oldie but a goody.

Great portrayal of marauding tulpa, free-ranging nightmarish archetypes preying on the dreams of others. Also a neat example of dream shaping combat.

Basilisk Images

Exerpt from the comp.basilisk FAQ:

5. How does a basilisk operate?

The short answer is: we mustn't say. Detailed information is classified beyond Top Secret.

The longer answer is based on a popular-science article by Berryman (New Scientist, 2001), which outlines his thinking. He imagined the human mind as a formal, deterministic computational system -- a system that, as predicted by a variant of Gödel's Theorem in mathematics, can be crashed by thoughts which the mind is physically or logically incapable of thinking. The Logical Imaging Technique presents such a thought in purely visual form as a basilisk image which our optic nerves can't help but accept. The result is disastrous, like a software stealth-virus smuggled into the brain.


6. Why "basilisk"?

It's the name of a mythical creature: a reptile whose mere gaze can turn people to stone. According to ancient myth, a basilisk can be safely viewed in a mirror. This is not generally true of the modern version -- although some highly asymmetric basilisks like B-756 are lethal only in unreflected or reflected form, depending on the dominant hemisphere of the victim's brain.

Metatron

I'm not a huge fan of the idea that the Gentry of Changeling: the Lost must be completely inimical to humanity. But there is a certain appeal to a portrayal of the fae as juxtaposing concepts in a way which does not make sense to the human mind:

A realm of darkness and cold metal populated with horrifying mechanical creatures and devices. Yet strangely the existence of this nightmare relies on the fact that a lone woman peacefully knits at the heart of the machine.

It is said that in the olden times our ancestors often found treasures in flying houses such as this one. But it was still strange to us and we approached it with caution none the less.

Bachelorette (Utena version)

Utena - Bjork (bachelorette)
by bangayo

I see this as a Fairest Durance, or a love affair involving Sidhe or Marauders.

Editorial:

Revolutionary Girl Utena the series was a fascinating, if repetitive, set of highly stylized vignettes. It involved a series of staged and structured confrontations at a boarding school each culminating in a sword fight. The ultimate goal of these confrontations to catalyze the metaphysical alteration of reality on a grand scale.

Revolutionary Girl Utena the movie was a completely surreal, bordering on nonsensicle farce involving the same characters and setting as the series. To those who've never seen the series, the movie will make no sense. To those who have seen the series, the movie will make little more sense.

However, one good thing did come out of the movie: Some industrious person recut the most interesting bits and pieced them together with bits of the series into a slightly more cohesive narrative. Setting the whole thing to Bjork's Bachelorette made it dynamite.

Bachelorette (Isobel version)

Love the recursion. Seems a good portrayal of a Durance.

Quicktime version available at Bjork's official site here.
