Is not often when we change our perspective about something from I have a bad feeling about this to THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER* @safenech2525 explains how this happened to him with his favorite villain The Joker and the new adaptation to the big screen portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, he will give us every detail on his thought on why this will win the best picture of the year, talking about the studios choices and even the personal background of the actor!

My name is Stephen Fenech and I absolutely love superheroes and nerd culture! I have been involved with this type of content since I was 8 years old, and will continue to do so until the day I die. I am trying to build a community of people like me who love this content and am doing so by engaging them in discussions on my posts. I have also started a conversational-style podcast called "Nerdcast" which will deal with superheroes and related topics, and I hope to have many guests on! I really look forward to meeting people like me, and I hope we can build a really stellar community here on Steem. Remember...nerd and proud!! - @safenech2525

Some adventures start and we don't even notice, and keep growing and growing to have great and wonderful results, this is the case with @smallsasha's adventure, when she met her friend Alfie that kickstarted a chain of event that led her to dive in the cold waters of Lake Baikal and take pictures under the ice to wonderful effects and beautiful results!

Every time we splashed into the water, the world above became irrelevant. The underwater world was so different; it seemed peaceful, quiet, yet colorful and alive. We explored underwater landscapes and admired the vivid sea life- fish, coral, turtles, octopuses, cuttlefish, eels, stingrays, nudibranchs and much more. - @smallsasha

Sasha may be small in this big world but after 10 years of traveling around the globe she knows her way alright, documenting about it in her personal webpage she started doing the same on the platform almost a year ago, if you love a steemian who travels, this is your blog!

One of the main objectives of a Role Playing Game is to collectively tell a story and one of the pleasures of DM's around the world is to be able to retell or even document the event that unfolds in these wonderful and magical campaigns, often it's really hard, things get chaotic but @jacobtothe did it in a perfect and clean way telling the tale of his players in a really easy way where the campaign develops fluidly!

Early in the morning, all player characters are awakened by the ringing of alarm bells. When they seek out the cause of the alarm, they will be told by frightened villagers or town guards that something is wrong at the village temple. Upon their arrival at the temple, they will meet Captain Brevar as he is sending the town guard to establish a perimeter. If the players do not investigate the cause of the alarm, he may conscript them from the tavern to help address the emergency. - @jacobtothe

D&D, Magic: The gathering, jewelry, beer and the thoughts that this guy has about all of those things, that's is what you will certainly find in this author's blog, the self-proclaimed Steem Pope is, of course, a veteran on the platform, sharing content about what he loves most since 2016 sharing wisdom with all of us! Amen!

Inspiration and strength can come from the weirdest places, from bright or even dark one, this is the story of how trough art our dear @unyimeetuk manage to come to terms to some of the ugliest faces of humanity and how hi transformed all those feeling that drowned him into a beautiful piece of art, commemorating what we need to stand for and do not forget.

The piece was inspired by an experience I had some years back where A friend of mine died because money meant for her surgery was diverted by the uncle. So for me to forgive him, I decided to speak against the Greed system. Greed hurts, kills and make the people affected to live a life of struggle. I am a victim and now my desire is to see the Greed system fall. I am passionate about good acts and I believe a whole lot can be achieved if Greed is thrown into the garbage. - unyimeetuk

Unyime Etuk was born in Uyo, Nigeria. He is a self-taught hyperrealistic pencil artist. In 2016, he graduated from the University of Uyo, Nigeria with a bachelor's degree in physics. After his graduation, he decided to embrace artfully and harness its power for good. Many people have been important influences in his life. He is greatly inspired by Artists like Chuck Close, Kelvin Okafor, Isimi Taiwo, Arinze Stanley, pieter Van der Merwe,Samantha Messias, Sheilargiovani, Shiely Lin, Pedrolopes, Chiamonwu Joy etc. They have taught him that with patience, practice, and persistence, a whole lot can be achieved. So, Unyime now creates arts greatly influenced by his society which seeks to address societal ills and invite the viewer to nature, truth and reality in the form of black and white.

There are not many manga artists here in Steemit but thankfully we have a few great ones like @ryo-6414 that is presenting us the 14th chapter of The Samurai Manga a piece of artistic storytelling that is complemented with a thousand references to the culture of his home country Japan, this is a rich experience from an artistic standpoint and a cultural one!

Yokai are very difficult to explain… They are not monsters. Close to a fairy or god, but not exactly(In the manga, Takeuchi explains as being a fairy or a god-like existence to explain briefly) It is said that Yokai do not exist, but too many documents remain in the Old japan. Kappa was witnessed throughout Japan and was called by various names
Mintsuchi, Medochi, Kabako, Dochirobe, Game, Shirikoboshi, Dongas, Gataro, Enko,
Hyouzunbo, Hejigoro, Suiko, etc… This is a small part of the record and there are actually many more names. - @ryo-6414

A one-year-old steemian with a fantastic blog oriented to showcase two things his wonderful art as a manga artist with his creation The Samurai Manga a series that has noticeable growth from its beginning and the beauties of his natal japan through a photographic post showing us natural wonder and breathtaking structures and places!
