I was today years old when I learned that when you type “otp: true” in AO3 search results it filters out fics with additional ships, leaving only the fics where your otp is the main ship
I had to post this poster image as soon as I found it, because
I
cannot
fucking
deal
with
it.
If you take a look at this image in full size, you’ll likely instantly see what I mean, but I’ve taken the liberty in showcasing some of the lowlights of this glorified hot mess.
I found this while gathering materials to put together a post about the Amityville Horror story, and the fact that it’s all a tremendous hoax that should never have gotten the publicity and financial draw that it has (but I’ll save those complaints for another post).
Now, to start with, they decided to blow up a very low-res image of a cracked, porcelain doll face, which they then proceeded to scribble on with what for all the world appears to be a fucking Sharpie marker. Inside the doll’s eyes, they added a blatantly higher-res image that no one could be bothered to properly integrate into the picture, leaving the edges clearly visible to anyone with eyeballs.
Now, if this weren’t already bad enough, they then attempted to poorly merge the doll face with not a photo of a human jawbone, but a goddamn low-res drawing of a human jawbone. To top it all off, you can see leftover areas they forgot to erase. You can see a clear line right above the “I” in the title where the edge of the image is.
Whoever regurgitated this steaming gutpile out of Photoshop made no discernible effort towards quality whatsoever. I have seen better composites on the front page of deviantArt.
The Amityville Horror sequels have been consistently z-grade since after the third one (and let’s face it - while an enjoyable picture, the original isn’t exactly a masterpiece of the genre to begin with). However, this kind of slipshod work, even for a straight-to-god-only-knows-where stinker of the lowest calibre, is simply unforgivable.
This is literally the worst cover art for a horror film I have ever seen in my entire life, and I have seen a mother-lovin’ fuckton of cover art. If just the cover is this bad, I cannot even begin to imagine what kind of miscarriage of mediocrity masquerading as “entertainment” lay in wait for any unsuspecting rube gullible enough to subject his brain to 88 minutes of half-assery done on a piddling $20,000 budget.
I bet the craft services consisted of ramen made using toilet water.
I actually laughed out loud when I got to the closeup of the devil tail coming off the Y in “Asylum.”
Part 139 of “A Tale of Two Rulers”(Dec- 11th- 2017)
—★ New comic comes out every Monday! (and if you’re a Patreon supporter you can see it sooner on my Patreon page*** - here)
*** (Thank you all so much for your patience! I’ve been trying to get
everything together to have Volume 2 of Atotr printed as soon as I can.
That plus me getting super sick has gotten things a bit behind schedule!
Hopefully that will all be done by the end of the week and I can have
the next update out earlier!)
Speaking of which, Thanks so much to all my amazing supporters that help make this fan-comic happen! ♥ (If is wasn’t for you it would be a lot harder for me to have time to work on this and keep up with the bills so I’m super grateful.)
The Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom herself!! Took a few liberties, of course!!! Probably about to be kidnapped aaaany second now…. ^^
Completely off topic, but since I looked at it so much the past couple days, I came to the realization…. the girl in the original painting totally reminds me of Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones. Yeah?! Yeah.
Based on Vermeer’s ‘Girl With a Pearl Earring’ (1665)
