hey man i see the projector in your mind's eye casting the image of a beautiful self indulgent fantasy over my silhouette so i just wanted to remind you before you try any funny business that when its battery dies it's just going to be me here

a pretty cool thing is how many archivists of various things there are . people mostly don't realize but if you write down What It's Like For Me At This Time In This Place and look for some archive to take it you'll often find one that does want to document the lives of a certain type of person in a certain global region and which accept diaries or personal accounts. like not always obviously but I do think it would be a really cool way to say "this is how it was for me!" to someone potentially decades and decades into the future, someone who must have gone in specifically wondering "what was it like for this kind of person, during these kind of events at this particular time?" and they'll learn what it was like for YOU!

THAT'S SO COOL I AM WAVING TO FUTURE ARCHIVISTS HIIIIIIIII~~~~~

I'm always thinking about this— if I kept a diary for future historians/equivalents, what do they want to know?

[creekfiend]

it varies depending on the archive of course but many truly just want everyday accounts of life. the information being sought is often just "what was the life of a person alive in this time and place like" and you can answer this question by saying "here is what it was like for me"

this sounds so fake to say about Now, but think about how we feel about for example, queer archives documenting people's lives from the 80s and 90s. that was Now then, but Now is 2026 at this moment. and its interesting and important to us to know what peoples lives were like then. and in fifty years it will be interesting and important for future people to know what our lives were like Now :)

Kōno Michisei - Self-Portrait (1917)

Kohno Michisei, seen here at twenty-two, presents himself in a pose modeled on Western Renaissance master Albrecht Durer's (1471-1528) self-portrait produced in 1500. Between 1914 and 1924 a remarkable quantity of high-quality portraiture was produced by Japanese artists who blended Western and East Asian painting traditions. While some of these painters had first-hand knowledge of Western painting, most, like Michisei, culled their images from books and magazines. The young artist was raised in an environment filled with powerful iconic images. His father was a portrait photographer, an artist in both Japanese and Western modes, and an active member of the Russian Orthodox Church. These influences are readily apparent in this self-portrait. Michisei's perceptive understanding of classic Western images was based on constant perusal of his father's extensive library; a portrait's potential for psychological and spiritual impact was impressed on him through exposure to religious icons used in the Orthodox liturgy.

forever thinking about how vampire money is the meta-level epilogue to danger days, how it takes the story out of the story, simply through the intro where gerard calls out everyone’s real names.
