[instagram.com profile] alex_m_anim has been doing some really good Guybrushes over the past year and a half or so. I really want to see the final project he's working towards! (These are my own fabricated titles just to tell them apart as I constructed the post; the artist didn't supply any as Instagram doesn't require that they do so.)

Title: Pewter and Silver
Fandom: Monkey Island
Pairing/Characters: Guybrush/Elaine although mostly just Guybrush mumbling to himself
Rating: Teen
Words: 305
Summary: From this prompt: Write a paragraph in which a character's emotion is expressed in the description of a color. They can be attracted to the color while shopping or have a negative reaction to it based on a memory or you can choose your own scenario. I think this kinda colored outside the lines (ha ha) on that, but wotthehell, archy.
Warnings/Contains/Additional Tags: Melancholy, Alcohol

[Video description: A parody made of a mishmash of characters and backgrounds from Monkey Island, Indiana Jones, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max, Full Throttle, and The Dig, satirizing Disney’s shutdown of LucasArts. Guybrush and Indy find themselves teleported away from their respective lady friends and into the jail on Phatt Island; meanwhile, Max, looking for Sam, is paying a visit to Laverne and Hoagie. Comedy ensues as they try to sort it all out and get back to their respective adventures. /end description]

Features Guybrush suggesting that the gang should kick Mickey Mouse’s ass, and yes, those are basically the words he uses.

This fangame project for an interquel between MI2 and MI3 began in 2010, was cancelled in 2013 around the time Disney bought LucasArts, restarted in late 2014, but ultimately abandoned again. Pictures from their moribund Facebook page and the game's entry on AbandonSocios.

Logo for The Carnival of Monkey Island. The words "The carnival of" are on a wood panel decorated with a skull and crossbones above the orange text, "Monkey Island", that is a recolor of the Tales of Monkey Island logo.
Banner image for The Carnival of Monkey Island. The left side of the image has blank paper where text would probably have been placed. Next to this are two tickets to Big Whoop, and then a scene of Guybrush running towards the viewer with amusement park rides in the background.

Got a folder of stuff I've been meaning to rec here, but haven't had time. A sign of life from the populace would be nice, since I know there are some members, at least. I should probably have taken advantage of the fact that [site community profile] dw_community_promo allows you to post once a week for the first month if your community is <90 days old, but oh well. Only once a month thereafter, but the post I made was in June, so it's long enough ago we're not even on the first page of entries now. Yeep. Although I know the fact of the matter is that Monkey Island is a tiny niche, and Dreamwidth is also a pretty small pond, so cross those two things together and for all I know, I have already found all the people in this particular pond who care 😅

A tour around a custom-made 3D map of Mêlée Town made for the game Half-Life. Features include the Scumm Bar, the street with the clock tower, the alley, the church, the jail, a grog cellar, an undeground tunnel resembling the ones in Monkey Island 2, a view to Monkey Island in the distance, and a sky with swirling clouds and a large moon looking like those in The Curse of Monkey Island.

The mod and the soundtrack can be found here: https://jensisensee.de/melee3d/

I dunno if this kind of thing goes over on Dreamwidth, but I've been doing a bunch of posts of Monkey Island + text posts/Onion headlines/text messages things over on Tumblr. If you don't know what I mean, it's this format:

Screenshot from Escape From Monkey Island. Guybrush is standing at the coffee bar in Starbuccaneers. He and the awrward teen barista are looking at each other vacantly. An Onion headline is pasted on top that says, 'Coffee Made, Poured, Consumed Without Single Conscious Thought'.

I don't plan to reproduce them all here (unless someone would like me to), but if that sort of thing tickles your fancy, you can get the 15 (!) posts I've made so far in this tag.

A multi-screen panorama screenshot from the VGA version of The Secret of Monkey Island, of the lava caverns underneath the giant monkey head. The lava glows red and the cave walls are shaded red to deep purple. Giant spotted mushrooms grow on the floor and a giant mouth with tongue sticking out is embedded in the wall.

Giant spotted mushrooms grow on the floor, several giant eyeballs are embedded in the wall, and a giant nose also comes from the floor near the mushrooms.

Giant spotted mushrooms grow on the floor, a giant heart is embedded in the wall, and three wailing skull-like faces also rise from the floor near the mushrooms.

He's in a place beneath this island... somewhere in a huge system of catacombs... a hellish place filled with the wailing of tortured souls trapped forever in the rock... where the walls bleed and the air is thick with the rancid smell of pure evil. Tourists used to line up for hours to see it.
