It's a tough call. I do think there's absolutely merit in having a broader "fantasy and scifi art" community, but to me part of the appeal of the Imaginary Network is the specific niches, like dragons or witches or spaceships or whatever. So I'd feel a little weird adding an "Imaginary Everything" to the Network.
I also definitely wouldn't want this Fantasy/Scifi Art community to replace (accidentally or otherwise) the other Imaginary communities. They may not have daily new art, but Imaginary Starships, Witches, Merfolk have all been updated fairly recently, and I would feel very bad about making a new community that basically comes in and diverts attention away to the smaller, more specific Imaginary groups.
For me it's Nitrobenzene by OwataP. This one is... make car horn noises? idk man, the whole benzene series is weird but this was the strangest one i've heard so far
An opera singer and avant-garde music composer who made a song out of comic book sound effects.
Less strange, she also did an operatic cover of The Beatles' Ticket to Ride. I'm pretty sure my ironic love of this has crossed over into completely unironic genuine love.
If you don't watch the video: it's footage of an I-beam being created at a factory. As an adult, this is not scary. As a young child, this is terrifying.
There is no narration, none of your Sesame Street friends are here with you. This is a large glowing letter I that the camera never breaks away from. It's mashed and chunks appear to break off of it. The music is a ominous sounding piano with occasional trumpet bursts and anvil clanks. At the very end the camera freezes on the I-beam and we get two final crashing piano and anvil notes. The whole thing lasts less than a minute, and then we're on to the next segment. There's no context for what you just saw, no lead-in, and no one makes mention of it after.
It scared the hell out of me. If I saw this early in the morning, I'd be in an anxious state for the rest of the day.
Funnily enough I loved the Wet Paint song and looked forward to it BECAUSE they throw paint at the screen and I thought that was really neat. Just goes to show you how these little skits affect kids in wildly different ways
