If you love certain characters from "Guilty Gear Strive", or want to learn more about them, may I suggest giving my article from last year a read? I wrote about the franchise's three major LGBTQ+ characters and their respective journeys of self-discovery and queer joy. #GGST #MyWriting

The Temptations and Black Sabbath - "Get Ready for the Grave"
The Temptations and Black Sabbath - "Get Ready for the Grave" YouTube video by Bill McClintock

Bill McClintock’s seamless pop song mashups have infiltrated my imagination so much that I imagined a McClintock combo that doesn’t exist: “Love Gun” and “Children of the Grave.” In reality, I had conflated two McClintock hybrids. One:

3: sitting in a pile of books, reading from one: “‘You are not doing the activity’ —oh no”

Finally, as what we call devices that strike us as cheap even when we
know they were expensive to develop, the gimmick is a judgment that asks us, in a well-nigh blasphemous way, to conflate aesthetic value with economic value—money—and more specifically, unproductively utilized money. For one of the gimmick’s paradigmatic instances is the overrated product one would be a sucker to buy, and thus an unsold commodity whose value cannot be realized. Yet from the stainless steel banana slicer to the cryptocurrency derivative, our very concept of the gimmick implies awareness that, in capitalism, misprized things
are bought and sold continuously. Its flagrantly unworthy form can be found virtually anywhere: manufacturing, law, banking, education, politics, healthcare, real estate, sports, art.

The gimmick is thus capitalism’s most successful aesthetic category but also its biggest embarrassment and structural problem. With its dubious yet attractive promises about the saving of time, the reduction of labor, and the expansion of value, it gives us tantalizing glimpses of a world in which social life will no longer be organized by labor,
while indexing one that continuously regenerates the conditions keeping labor’s social necessity in place.2
