Going to spin this off into video games: would-be Amiga mascot Zool had not one but *two* tie-in novels, “Zool Rules” and “Cool Zool”. They expanded upon the story and characters set up in Zool 2, like his female counterpart Zooz and his two-headed dog Zoon!

What's the most unlikely TV or movie tie-in novel you've ever seen? Bit of a high bar set by these examples - and the Gold Blend novel in particular - but there *must* be weirder ones out there, surely?? timworthington.org/2018/05/27/l...

Not really sure where a bunch of liberals got the idea that they can’t win without throwing trans people in the garbage, but they’re stupid and cruel and wrong. If you want a human sacrifice so damned bad put gavin newsom in the wicker man

Oops, I nearly forgot to make a movie recommendation for tonight! Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon is a fantastically clever slasher movie spoof mockumentary where a film crew follow a would be slasher villain who wants to follow in the footsteps of Jason and Michael Myers, etc.

this one i definitely buy a lot more, by i think the inspiration /implementation is still really messy and inconsistent. i will say, if they went all in on this style, i think if done right it would actually suit majora TREMENDOUSLY well
