Hello from the

[sleep-with-monsters]

If male self-destruction is seen as opening up meaningful questions about great existential truths—Don’s alcohol binges in “Mad Men,” Walter White’s coming to terms with his own mortality in “Breaking Bad,” female self-destruction is still perceived as self-indulgent. The female depressive is seen as self-involved and attention seeking, empty-headed and silly. Seeking meaning in sex and drugs is seen as morally weighty when a man does it, but when a women grapples with nihilism, it’s still perceived as merely acting out for male attention.

When a woman grapples with nihilism during her Nietzsche seminar, she turns to the meaningful self-destruction of Lana Del Rey, because I fucking love pop culture, damnit.

Fictives/Fictional Introjects FAQ

So it seems like the term “fictive” has been grossly misconstrued and appropriated across the board. I’m here to clear up some things about what being a Fictive or Fictional Introject means.

What is a fictive?

A fictive is an alter in a system that has been split off representing a specific fictional character. They are internalized versions of fictional characters.

I’m not part of a system. Am I a fictive?

No.

I’m part of a system and I’m fictionkin. Am I a fictive?

It depends. Were you specifically created to be the character you are kin for? If yes, then you’re a fictive. If not, no you are not.

Can I become a fictive?

No.

Are fictives actually the character they’re based on?

Some believe they are. However, fictives and fictional introjects are representing a fictional character, they are not a direct translation. They are representative of how the host views that character at the time of the split.

Do all fictives act like their canon counterpart?

Probably not. Fictives are alters, and just like alters, we have the capacity to grow and change as people. We are not static characters.

I don’t think I was created to be a fictional character, but I have really strong kinfeels for this character. Can I call myself a fictive?

No.

Can the original be a fictive?

No.

What creates a fictive?

Fictives, like alters, split for a reason. The character needs to have traits that suit what is needed to rectify the reason for the split in the first place. For example, I split to deal with domestic abuse and stress and the current host’s executive dysfunction. The character I am based on is highly initiative, with an insatiable drive and work ethic, who will do anything for a means to an end.

“But fictive means you literally are the character! You don’t have to be in a system!”

Please read all of the above, it explains why you are wrong.

I’m not in a system but I want to be a fictive?

No.

I have a fictive in my system, what can I do for them?

Treat them like a normal alter. We’re really no different.

Refugees

So I’m a little uncomfortable with Germany getting so much accolades over being willing to take in refugees, largely from Syria and Afghanistan lately.

Look, talking about racism and nationalism in Europe is tricky.  My social circle, which is largely comprised of slight leftists, are very much in favor of this and very proud of Germany taking in refugees.  

However, these are the same people who hate the Roma and Sinti.  (Regardless of political bent, good luck finding a European who is cool with them!), who still resent the Muslim immigrants who may have been here for two or three generations but are still not considered truly “German” because of their last name or the food they eat or the religion they practice.

Meanwhile I am interrogated about America's issues  with racism and forgien policy and xenophobia, which is all totally valid.

But there is a tendency of young Europeans to really believe they live in a post-racist society while actually being far less inclusive than the society I come from.  The thing with America is our history is so toxic, and our race issues far more at the forefront than in Europe, and the reality that our media is always global news that we are a convenient deflection point away from Europe in general and Germany in particular from dealing with how they treat immigrants and non-ethnic-Germans.

I’m glad that Germany is accepting a huge number of refugees but if you think that means that German society is remotely tolerant, free of racism, or anything like that, you’re wrong.

Five animated shorts for five female animation pioneers

 For this year’s Annency animation festival, the students at Gobelins made five 1-minute animations to honor five female animation pioneers.

They’re all phenomenal. If you have five minutes, please watch each of them. Warning: some hit HARD.

Mary Blair (1911-1978)

Worked for Ub Iwerks, MGM, and eventually Disney. Known for creating incredibly vibrant watercolors, which clashed with the studio aesthetic at the time. Disney eventually let her loose, and her aesthetic can be strongly seen in Cinderella, Peter Pan, and especially Alice in Wonderland.

Evelyn Lambart (1914-1999)

Hearing-impaired Canadian animator who worked with Norman McLaren on several pieces that the Canadian government would later declare masterworks. She directed her own films, making her one of the first women in animation to take the director’s chair. She was known for scratching up film stock to create “jazz” like patterns, the sort of thing you’d later see in Fantasia, Donald in Mathmagic Land, and the like.

Lotte Reininger (1899-1981)

German director who created the technique of silhouette animation, preceding Disney by 10 years. Started out making titles for movies and moved on to make her own animated feature, The Adventures of Prince Achmed, in 1926! As for the rest of her career, well - watch the short.

Claire Parker (1906-1981)

Created the “pinscreen” animation technique, where 240,000 tiny metal rods were manually manipulated in and out of a board in order to create an animation – think tweaking pixels by hand. She and she alone owned the patent on it.

Alison de Vere (1927-2001)

One of the first women to work in British animation, and was design director for The Yellow Submarine. She went on to create many animated shorts at a commercial studio, winning prizes for virtually almost every single one of them. She is often credited as Britain’s first female animation auteur. 

(much credit must go to cartoonbrew for posting about this in the first place - thanks, y’all!)

ah these are all amazing and beautiful please watch all of them!
