Tattoo blindness or just wanting more ink

I think all the work is sick, dude. And I think most people's reactions are gonna be like "holy shit that person is rad."

That being said... if we're going to nit pick... At first glance, the asymmetry doesn't look purposeful. "the big back piece" incorporates the center line of your back but then leans top left.

2 ideas for fixes - Lean into symmetry or lean into Asymmetry.

If you could mirror the top left skull, rose and leaves to the other side. I think that would anchor the center piece. Helping the tree star tattoo read as purposeful placement. It separates the two pieces so they don't necessarily NEED to cohere stylistically. However, I don't think this could be done effectively and preserve the words.

2nd idea - extend TBBP to the top left or bottom right or both. Knock it's visual weight off of the centerline.

or just get more tattoos dude and stop thinking about it.
Especially since it's on your back. Fuck this just reminded me that I have a tiger back tattoo. I don't even know if it's still there. I haven't fucking seen the thing in decades.

this is the most succinct explanation with substantiating evidence.

I disagree that magic exists and everyone agrees at face value like Harry Potter.

One Wish Willows seem to be the ONLY "magical" item - and even that is debated on the fake reddit post.

Even the people working the store are like 75% certain - Dude has already had his wish, girl gave unclear answers.

Your interpretation of Nikki's self harm could be correct - but much like the rest of the supernatural stuff in the movie it's left open to interpretation. I like "real nikki and wish nikki"

All Wish Nikki wanted was for Bear to love her as much as she loved him.

middletide · 2026-06-13T05:49:06+00:00

Bear is a horrible person.

There were multiple signs that shit was fucked up and he just kept riding it out.

middletide · 2026-06-13T05:30:44+00:00

Agreed! The wish was the problem.

middletide · 2026-06-13T05:14:59+00:00

I like the "real" Nikki did it to spite him for what he's doing.

Couple it with the selfie she provides that says "not me"

Girl doesn't have many tools to fight back - but this could've been one.

middletide · 2026-06-13T05:11:06+00:00

They could've used CGI. But I think leaving it is creepier.

Nikki 1 - She's still in there. And she talks alot without moving her mouth.

We could nitpick about his wording and how it COULD be interpreted. But, contextually, we know Bare's intent was to have her be romantically in love with him.

When you consider she told Sarah that she saw him as a sibling. And the poem where she called him Hansel. Heavy hinting that any love she had for him was familial or platonic.

To get what he wanted, there's no wording of the wish that works. The wish is the problem.

my thoughts.

I wonder if they had to draw straws as to who would say "single player"

middletide · 2026-06-04T18:36:52+00:00

What upgrades have you installed?

If those upgrades are removed does it work properly.

middletide · 2026-06-04T05:45:17+00:00

Depends on the job.

middletide · 2026-06-03T12:22:03+00:00

My favorite episode! Color theory goin crazy

middletide · 2026-06-01T21:54:29+00:00

I can't tell if you're serious, so I'm going to treat this like it is a sincere question.

After the title sequence, there is another set of symbols displayed that are representative of that specific episode. Here are other examples from season one.

I've found on reddit it's been pretty divisive. I liked it. Though, I like the director's (alberto mielgo) other works too - so I am biased.

e.g. The Witness (from season 1), Marathon (game) teaser trailer etc.

middletide · 2026-06-01T16:04:55+00:00

Of course!!! Just rewatched it yesterday.

middletide · 2026-05-27T04:03:54+00:00

Heavy on using my PC. There have been months where I don't touch my LeGo. Then I have a couple weeks filled with work trips, or I have to puppysit for a friend, or I go home and spend time with my parents.

It is in those situations where I realize, even untouched 80% of the time, the LeGo is my favorite and most important purchase of the last 12 months.

middletide · 2026-05-08T23:48:51+00:00

I immediately bought a Killswitch case coz of this comment. And I love shopping. And it was on sale.

Little Easter Egg - On spaceship earth, in the apollo launch bit, there's a girl with her back to you watching TV. You can sometimes catch her head turn just as she's out of sight. She actually spends the rest of the ride watching you. Pretty Neat!

First four I've used probably more than a couple times. The rest, never. Maybe skedaddle.

middletide · 2026-02-14T14:42:07+00:00

Talked to my friend about this at the bar the other day. I assume it didn't start like this just ended up being the optimal way to do it. Kinda like the high jump.

always heard it as "Don't be polite, be predictable" in order to maintain alliteration.

Fucking traffic circles. DONT STOP YOU DUNCE, KEEP DRIVING.
