Personally I think I'm shockingly normal for someone who has spent every day on the internet since they were 12

“In Vietnamese, the word for missing someone and remembering them is the same: nhớ. Sometimes, when you ask me over the phone, Con nhớ mẹ không? / flinch, thinking you meant, Do you remember me?

— I miss you more than I remember you.”

Maturity is when you realize people can't give you what they can't give themselves, so you stop expecting loyalty from people who betray themselves, stop expecting honesty from people who lie to themselves, and stop expecting peace from people who are at war with themselves.

This week, let’s check out some artists whose work has defined an RPG. What do I mean by that? Well, how about we start with Simon Stålenhag.

Stålenhag is the author and illustrator of Tales from the Loop (2014), a dreamy story from an 1980s that never was, filled with strange technology and robots and the occasional dinosaur. I love this stuff. Yes, it is nostalgia in paint, but it is also something else too, something hard to pin down. There is such a deep melancholy here. There’s tension in the dimming blues of dusk, in the way people always seem to stand with their back to us, in the way all these wonders of technology lie abandoned in the fields. There are so many mysteries in the gathering shadows. No wonder Free League developed a tabletop RPG out of it (and Amazon a TV series)!

I am an absolute sucker for his work, I really think he’s the closest we currently have to a modern N.C. Wyeth, if based only on his control of light. The follow up book (and RPG) Things from the Flood attempts to do the same for the 90s as Loop did for the 80s — neither works quite as well for me. Stålenhag’s subsequent books have been fabulous, though — The Electric State and The Labyrinth. Both build on the science fiction vibes of the Loop books in satisfying narrative ways. You can also see Stålenhag growing as an illustrator (both books use the form of the book — turning pages — and repetition of images to interesting effect). They’re a joy (well, The Labyrinth is pretty grim, actually, but you know what I mean).

Tales from the Loop // Mushishi // Joe Pera Talks with You

“Many films diminish us. They cheapen us, masturbate our senses, hammer us with shabby thrills, diminish the value of life. Some few films evoke the wonderment of life's experience, and those I consider a form of prayer. Not prayer "to" anyone or anything, but prayer "about" everyone and everything. I believe prayer that makes requests is pointless. What will be, will be. But I value the kind of prayer when you stand at the edge of the sea, or beneath a tree, or smell a flower, or love someone, or do a good thing. Those prayers validate existence and snatch it away from meaningless routine.”

—Roger Ebert, “A Prayer Beneath the Tree of Life”
