Even now the sound of the traffic is a lullaby rather than a nightclub, the way he's always known it. Few planes overhead, few distant voices. His city like a ghost town. "How's your night been?"

" . . . not quiet. Oh - damn. Keep - I just remembered not to rub my eye then."

I told Miyazaki I love the “gratuitous motion” in his films; instead of every movement being dictated by the story, sometimes people will just sit for a moment, or they will sigh, or look in a running stream, or do something extra, not to advance the story but only to give the sense of time and place and who they are.

“We have a word for that in Japanese,” he said. “It’s called ma. Emptiness. It’s there intentionally.”

Is that like the “pillow words” that separate phrases in Japanese poetry?

“I don’t think it’s like the pillow word.” He clapped his hands three or four times. “The time in between my clapping is ma. If you just have non-stop action with no breathing space at all, it’s just busyness, But if you take a moment, then the tension building in the film can grow into a wider dimension. If you just have constant tension at 80 degrees all the time you just get numb.”

Which helps explain why Miyazaki’s films are more absorbing and involving than the frantic cheerful action in a lot of American animation. I asked him to explain that a little more.

“The people who make the movies are scared of silence, so they want to paper and plaster it over,” he said. “They’re worried that the audience will get bored. They might go up and get some popcorn.

But just because it’s 80 percent intense all the time doesn’t mean the kids are going to bless you with their concentration. What really matters is the underlying emotions–that you never let go of those.

This illustrates perfectly my issues with the “every moment in every scene in every chapter has to advance the plot” advice for story writing. If there’s never a moment that’s just there, there because the story or the characters require it, if there’s never a chance to catch your breath and simply be in the story, can the story truly live? Or is it only a patchwork of moments?

I went to a fantasy fair recently and haven’t been able to stop thinking about a very enthusiastic Blaine dragging along a little confused Kurt at a similar event, cosplaying as Frodo and Legolas from LotR. So I drew just that. This could actually also be them trick or treating, as spooky season starts tomorrow! 

(Also if anyone would enjoy writing a drabble to go along with this art, that would be the best thing ever 👀)

The class that never returned, Salma Chatto

As students around the world begin to prepare for their new academic year, students in Gaza are missing yet another school year as they endure this genocide. Tens of thousands of them will not be returning to school for good as they were amongst the over 16,000 children killed by Israel since October of last year.

According to the UN, 93% of schools in Gaza have been targeted since October 2023, including all universities in the strip. Israel's deliberate and systematic targeting of educational institutions has been dubbed "scholasticide".
