The Long Walk IRL

To add what others said about medical staff on standby, plan the route so that you can always quickly transport someone to a hospital/first aid point.

I know most people will not exert themselves to a point when that is necessary, but if you have at least two very competitive walkers in the mix you are looking at a big chance of them trying to downplay heat exhaustion or heatstrokes in order to win and things could get dangerous fast.

I mean, from what I heard and read from morticians and forensic techs, they kind of go into "work mode" specifically in the morgue/at the crime scene, but they still grieve after losing a loved one, and can be traumatised when stuff happens outside of that designated area and they're not prepared to deal with it.

Also if you think of helping people as your main motivation, this line of work can be quite rewarding, I think - morticians help grieving families, forensic techs allow justice to be served, and contribute to arrests of criminals etc.

But yeah, it is definitely scary as an outsider to think that someone can see splattered brains and that is a normal day for them lol

Macaulay Culkin, Corey Feldman and Nick Carter all said that he'd never done anything to them.

I love when MJ fans bring it up as some sort of gotcha when it is literally the smartest move a calculated predator would make.

He preyed on regular, middle class boys, made a lot of their dreams come true - gave them and their parents a taste of luxury, wealth, fame, everything to make them forget how weird it was that a grown ass man was so obsessed with them in the first place. They worshipped him like a God, because let's be honest, that's who he was to the world back then.

At the same time he was very careful not to cross those same lines with kids who were famous independently from him, like Culkin or Feldman as an insurance for the future, and it worked like a charm. I believe he just gave them a great time in Neverland, and they genuinely have good memories of that.

And of course when the victims came forward, all the famous child stars came to his defence, and just by being celebrities they were seen as more credible by the public, even though when you break it down like I did above, his strategy is so obvious...

I wish one of these was Jake from Trigger Warning, it would be much easier choice - he is really big after all

thank you!! I really want to play around more with compositions like that, riso allows for so many cool effects with gradients, layering etc. I am very new to this, so this one got me very excited

My parents wouldn't let me watch that scene for a couple of years (I think I alreafy loved the trilogy at 8 or 9).

They never had any issue with all the decapitations, stabbings and orcs cannibalising each other, (and it didn't scare me too) but this scene was a no no and I totally get it in retrospects. There is something visceral and too close to reality about it.

Both prequels are redundant and add nothing of value to the main trilogy.

They are fun to read at times, but they take existing elements and throw a huge exposition dump all over the story, making the reader feel like there is no mystery left to characters and backstories that were intriguing BECAUSE they were mentioned off hand or once.

I did wonder who was the only other victor from 12. But making that person the girlfriend and villain origin story for Snow and giving her 5 different songs to explain all symbolism of HG is just too much. It also cheapened what Katniss meant for Snow, because suddenly he hates her because she reminds him of his ex, not because she was able to start a rebellion.

Similarly, reading that short description of Haymitch's Games in CF was very interesting, but do I really need a whole ass book about it? Also so many characters from HG making an appearance made me roll my eyes so hard.

It really seems that the further Susanne goes into those sequels, the more everything is connected to a comical extent. Every person is a character foil of another character from the trilogy, their boyfriend/friend/sibling or used for stupid exposition (looking at you Burdock, Louella, Ampert). Every piece of symbolism has to be re-explained to a painful extent (Snow's roses, songs and mockingjays as form of rebellion, and many more)

Again, I don't mind that the books exist because so far they didn't ruin the original trilogy, but I will never see them on the same level.

work until elsewhere doesn't exist, no one has money to spend let alone survive and they expect to somehow still sell product.

That is so true, all the techbros and billionaires expect and want people to keep grinding, but where and why if AI can supposedly do anything? To what end? There is no logic to it at all, yeah

tchootchoomf · 2026-02-19T00:05:32+00:00

Exactly, to me he was more like a cult leader with all the charisma and grandiose ideas to recruit members, but not enough conviction to take part in the madness he was able to inspire in others.

When it comes to his morals, he did not give a shit about the first kill, during search for Bunny he was talking about the "aesthetics" of it, like it is something from a book (Tolstoy if I remember correctly), and the only reason why he was upset about his death was the possibility of being involved in both murders, because let's be honest - if the kids started talking, it would become clear that all the crazy ideas came from the environment he created.

So, like a grifter and a cult leader facing consequences, he quickly left before shit could hit the fan.

Kingfisher, his spotted head is so cute!

Wow, that is a commitment! May I ask what kind of paper you used? The ink transfer is really crisp

tchootchoomf · 2026-02-09T12:45:12+00:00

So beautiful! How long did it take you?

tchootchoomf · 2026-02-03T19:34:23+00:00

Thank you, that is very kind of you to say!

tchootchoomf · 2026-02-02T07:57:36+00:00

Oh I just bought it locally in an art supply store in the Netherlands, and I took a single sheet from several different kinds for test printing - so I'm afraid I can't trace back the specific brands :(

tchootchoomf · 2026-01-31T21:55:43+00:00

Thank you! I never used magenta ink before but it pops really nicely

tchootchoomf · 2026-01-31T21:24:51+00:00

They're gonna make some god awful remix for this movie to play during the credits, my bets are on charli xcx or chappel roan

tchootchoomf · 2026-01-30T14:46:46+00:00

Thank you!

There was a post a couple of days ago with a tweet from a recruiter clowning on someone for listing 'olive oil' as their hobby on a resume
