Weird Among Us Cosplay Lets You Be All 10 Players At Once

Weird Among Us Cosplay Lets You Be All 10 Players At Once An Instagram user is making "low-cost" Among Us cosplays using his own body parts to represent the crew members of the beloved multiplayer game. An Instagram user has found a bizarre way to cosplay multiple Among Us characters at the same time. The social deduction game has taken the internet by storm despite being largely ignored when it released in 2018. The game has reached such incredible amounts of popularity that the developer cancelled a sequel to focus up on developing the current game. Among Us, like the similarly explosive Fall Guys before it, owes much of its success to its adorable, minimally designed characters. The astronauts in Among Us are small, beanlike creatures, decked out like Skittles in bright primary colors. Like in Fall Guys, players can purchase cosmetic accessories for their astronaut, including hats, and even little pets that can follow them around. While players are mostly interested in Amo...

Among Us Airship Paintings What RealWorld Art Inspired Them

Among Us Airship Paintings What RealWorld Art Inspired Them

Among Us' long-awaited new map, the Airship, has a handful of paintings on the wall, some of which are based on famous real-life works of art.

Among Us Airship Paintings What RealWorld Art Inspired Them

InnerSloth's Among Us truly became a cultural phenomenon after its surge in popularity over the last year or so. The game feels nearly inescapable, and still boasts respectable viewer numbers on streaming platforms. Among Us' newest map, the Airship, was highly anticipated, and has proven that the in-game crewmates are cultured in the realm of classical art.

A room on Among Us' The Airship map has a collection of paintings hanging on the wall, some of which are references to real-life (and incredibly famous) works. There also appears to be a wholly original creation from the Among Us developers at Innersloth titled, "i didnt know what to draw so it's lazy landscape art." The artist at InnerSloth is feigning amateurism, but the piece bears a striking resemblance to the iconic Microsoft Windows XP default desktop wallpaper.

The Among Us Twitter account shared screenshots of the new wall decorations adorning the Airship walls, three of which are based on actual works of art. Here are the real-life inspirations for the crewmates' new paintings:

Among Us' Starry Night Painting - van Gogh's The Starry Night

Among Us Airship Paintings What RealWorld Art Inspired Them

Vincent van Gogh's most popular painting, The Starry Night, was created in 1889 while the painter was a patient at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in France. Van Gogh admitted himself to the institution after a breakdown which resulted in him mutilating his own left ear. Starry Night depicts the view from a window in the asylum, though the village in the painting is fictitious. Today the post-impressionist masterpiece is on display in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

Among Us' Mona Limpostor Painting - da Vinci's Mona Lisa

The Mona Lisa, by Italian Renaissance painter Leonardo da Vinci, is possibly the most famous painting in all of human history. It originates from the very early 16th century, and depicts an Italian noblewoman. Although the painting is quite small, it occupies a wall by itself in the Louvre in Paris. Da Vinci engaged in many other fields aside from painting as well, making him the archetypal Renaissance Man. In art he also sculpted, but was an engineer, scientist, theorist, architect, and more as well.

Among Us' Ameribean Gothic Painting - Wood's American Gothic

Among Us Airship Paintings What RealWorld Art Inspired Them

The most recent of these three paintings in Among Us' newest map, American Gothic was finished in 1930 by American painter Grant Wood. The painting is named for the architecture style of the house in the background, and the subjects are the type of people Wood would have expected to live in such a place. The daughter in the painting was based on Wood's sister, and the farmer's likeness comes from their family dentist. American Gothic is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago.

All three paintings have long-lasting cultural significance, with van Gogh and da Vinci especially becoming known as important historical figures. Each work has been parodied and referenced dozens of times in all forms of popular culture, and Among Us is just the most recent to do so.

Among Us Hat Graph All 94 Hats Ranked From Cute To Sus Among Us' hats can say a lot about the player that wears them and may influence who dies first. Here's every hat in the game ranked from cute to sus. One of the best ways to appear innocent in Among Us is by dressing for the occasion. While judging someone by their appearance is superficial, it could also be a player's saving grace. This graph will examine every hat in Among Us and rank them according to how cute, boring, silly, and sus they are. In a social deduction game like Among Us, players usually don't have a lot to go off outside of appearances. This becomes even more true for players who primarily play in public lobbies where voice chat isn't an option. A player could be given the benefit of the doubt immediately depending on how they choose to dress. While dressing cute could help an innocent crewmate stay out of the spotlight, it can also allow the Impostor to prey on the unassuming minds of their vic...

Among Us Theory What Impostors Really Are

Among Us Theory What Impostors Really Are Among Us' dastardly Impostors terrorize crewmates with various forms of killing and sabotage, and fans have theories about their origins and motives. The Impostors that give Among Us its name and central gameplay hook are, by design, a mysterious bunch. On the surface, they're nearly identical to Among Us' colorful crewmates, but Impostors exhibit certain strange and terrifying properties. Due to the game's lack of overt story, it's unclear what exactly Among Us' Impostors are, but fans have a few compelling theories. Unlike normal crewmates, Impostors have the ability to slink through vents, which - unless crewmates are small enough to do this, too, but simply have no need to - suggests they have some kind of shapeshifting ability. This would also explain Impostors' ability to open up a large mouth at the waist of their spacesuits and stab victims with sharp tongues. It's possible Among Us' crewmates also ha...
