Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
Too precious for this world!!!
(Very late Christmas Special drawing)
Last artwork of the year!
I wanted to finish this sooner, but my motivation crashed halfway through. The new year is almost here, and I have to say, I'm glad I joined Tumblr and this fandom!
Happy New Year Everyone! I'll see you in 2025!
Honestly, I originally intended to write this TV Shoutout in time for the Christmas Special, but I foolishly thought that it airs on the 25th instead of the 16th. But that's okay, because now I can tell you that the special was full of usual Black Mirror greatness. And here it is about the show:
What it is about: Black Mirror is a British dystopian anthology miniseries. The stories for each episode varies but the running theme is humanity and technology, usually set in an imagined 5-or-10-minutes-into-the-future. And for lack of better word, Black Mirror is exactly what the title suggests: our dark reflection of who we are as human being.
Or in shorter words, it's The Twilight Zone for today.
Why you should watch it: Because it is a brilliant satire. It is scifi-esque, but definitely everyone can enjoy it because most times the technologies are incorporated seamlessly into its world, just like ours. In it's heart, Black Mirror is less about flashy gadgets and more about social commentary. What it's not though, is safe or comforting, in the way that some art should not be. It is intended to be shocking and eye-opening. I doubtlessly would not recommend a few episodes (like The National Anthem) for the faint of heart, but it is absolutely worth it. Black Mirror is lovely and funny at times (Charlie Brooker the creator actually did award-winning comedy work), but equally terrifying and heartbreaking, in the best way. Most people who've watched it agree that Black Mirror is one of the best TV series they've encountered, and for good reason. If that does not convince you yet there are more trivial reasons, like the fact that it is beautiful to look at and beautifully directed, and it features familiar brilliant actors from Mad Men, Captain America, Game Of Thrones, etc.
Who should watch it: Those who like great storytelling, sci-fi or not. Those who thought that there's something missing in today's television and demand "more" from their entertainment. Those who think that underneath the flashy and happy exterior, the world is dark and full of terrors. And whether it sounds like Black Mirror is your thing or not, I wholeheartedly encourage you to at least try to watch one of the episodes, because otherwise you might miss one of the masterpieces of modern TV.
Where you should start: It is an anthology (a collection of short stories), so basically you can start at any episode because each episode is self-standing. But if you're squeamish or less tolerable for more "racy" stuff, I do advice you against The National Anthem (season 1 episode 1) at least until you get the hang of the show.
Status: Black Mirror had 2 full seasons (each had 3 episodes) and one Christmas Special (listed as season 3). A full season might be coming in 2015.
Lastly, if I had not succeeded in explaining what Black Mirror is all about, Charlie Brooker the creator/writer might. Here he is talking about the concept and the meaning of Black Mirror:
Merry Christmas alphas!!

Kuroo screamed as Lia tried to keep their house up. "Hah! Our house is amazing!" You said with a grin and held up a hand for Kenma to high five you. He hummed and gave you a highfive. "How much time left?" He asked Tobio who was holding a timer. "Um.. 5 minutes left. Stop eating the icing!" He said before grabbing his boyfriend's hand away from the icing.
"Only five?!" Kuroo said exasperated as Lia yelled at him to keep the house up while she decorated. "And that's time!" Tobio said still holding Shoyo back from eating the icing. You and Kenma snickered at Kuroo and Lia's poor excuse of a gingerbread house. "Wow... It's so... um-" Tobio started before Shoyo interrupted him. "Does it taste good? It better." He said looking at both houses.
Your and Kenma's house did look more delicious than Lia and Kuroo's house. "I mean... Kenma and Y/n win based on looks. Isn't that the whole point of the competition?" Tobio asked looking at the houses as Shoyo nodded. "I think we should base it on taste too." Shoyo added with a firm nod.
"Your fat ass just wants to eat the houses." Tobio said with rolled eyes. "I think we win guys. And you know what? Who's gonna clean? Not it!" You say putting you finger on your nose. A chorus of 'Not it''s filed the room but one. Shoyo. Why? He was eating the gingerbread house. "You fatass!" Tobio yelled at him hitting his head.
"Well he cleans up! Bye Tobio!" You say taking Kenma's hand and leaving the kitchen. Kuroo and Lia followed after. Tobio stayed to help his boyfriend.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
SEE YOU ALL IN 2025!!

Is it weird that I’m more excited for the ghost Christmas special than I am for Christmas?
I feel like seeing spoilers would make me temporarily happy than just immediately depressed, it’s gonna be so sad once it’s all over :(
Before the Anger- episode 41, "Strange Tradition"
Papyrus is thinking of the other meaning of "holiday", which usually means "weekend".
Not to get too personal, but I modeled this episode after my own childhood, and while I was drawing this it actually made me emotional. Me and my siblings would search for trash and give it to each other for a makeshift "Christmas" (I'm not religious, so I wasn't celebrating anything.) I relate to these little skeleton boys more than I should lol
On a positive note, this is the first episode exclusively featuring Sans and Papyrus!
Anyway, now we can get back to that egregious cliffhanger (I'm still sorry, that's just how the schedule panned out)

I watched the Christmas special of He-Man and She-Ra today. It made me so incredibly happy to see the characters in all their old drawing styled glory, hear their classic theme music, and watch them fight off Skeletor, Hordak, and their forces. It truely woke up my inner child and made my day so much better.
ALSO I have never been so happy to see Catra and Adora on opposite sides of the battle field (as enemies BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE. I FRIGGIN HATE NETFLIX FOR WHAT THEY DID)
