1$ flea market score. Tiny glass 1960s perfume bottles. I love them.
Can you swap their heads ?
omg you can
Their meeting was foretold in the ancient texts
So somebody on my Facebook posted this. And I’ve seen sooooo many memes like it. Images of a canvas with nothing but a slash cut into it, or a giant blurry square of color, or a black circle on a white canvas. There are always hundreds of comments about how anyone could do that and it isn’t really art, or stories of the time someone dropped a glove on the floor of a museum and people started discussing the meaning of the piece, assuming it was an abstract found-objects type of sculpture.
The painting on the left is a bay or lake or harbor with mountains in the background and some people going about their day in the foreground. It’s very pretty and it is skillfully painted. It’s a nice piece of art. It’s also just a landscape. I don’t recognize a signature style, the subject matter is far too common to narrow it down. I have no idea who painted that image.
The painting on the right I recognized immediately. When I was studying abstraction and non-representational art, I didn’t study this painter in depth, but I remember the day we learned about him and specifically about this series of paintings. His name was Ad Reinhart, and this is one painting from a series he called the ultimate paintings. (Not ultimate as in the best, but ultimate as in last.)
The day that my art history teacher showed us Ad Reinhart’s paintings, one guy in the class scoffed and made a comment that it was a scam, that Reinhart had slapped some black paint on the canvas and pretentious people who wanted to look smart gave him money for it. My teacher shut him down immediately. She told him that this is not a canvas that someone just painted black. It isn’t easy to tell from this photo, but there are groups of color, usually squares of very very very dark blue or red or green or brown. They are so dark that, if you saw them on their own, you would call each of them black. But when they are side by side their differences are apparent. Initially you stare at the piece thinking that THAT corner of the canvas is TRUE black. Then you begin to wonder if it is a deep green that only appears black because the area next to it is a deep, deep red. Or perhaps the “blue” is the true black and that red is actually brown. Or perhaps the blue is violet and the color next to it is the true black. The piece challenges the viewer’s perception. By the time you move on to the next painting, you’re left to wonder if maybe there have been other instances in which you believe something to be true but your perception is warped by some outside factor. And then you wonder if ANY of the colors were truly black. How can anything be cut and dry, black and white, when even black itself isn’t as absolute as you thought it was?
People need to understand that not all art is about portraying a realistic image, and that technical skills (like the ability to paint a scene that looks as though it may have been photographed) are not the only kind of artistic skills. Some art is meant to be pretty or look like something. Other art is meant to carry a message or an idea, to provoke thought.
Reinhart’s art is utterly genius.
“But anyone could have done that! It doesn’t take any special skill! I could have done that!”
Ok. Maybe you could have. But you didn’t.
Give abstract art some respect. It’s more important than you realize.
You know bloodymary is peak bc it fits this dynamic
some doodles !! i’m a big believer in huge adrian and they’re loosely inspired by variscite because the colours felt Right.
also some sappy things, had a vision of rocky and grace rough housing and just being silly dudes, and a quick attempt at human! rocky and adrian but i might come back to those and tinker with them a bit more at some point :) (and by I Might i mean I Will)
I cannot stop thinking about Grace labeling himself as a coward, thinking of himself as a coward, and fearing of someone new, brave, and strong finding out about his cowardice.
He knows he needs to tell Simon about what happened, he can't lie to him, he doesn't want to make Simon believe he willingly got on the ship and think of him as some mighty hero. He isn't a hero, not a willing one at least.
He didn't choose to become one, he ran from it. He was pinned down, drugged, and dragged to be a hero for humanity, to leave his home, his children, his earth.
It isn't easy telling Simon, of course it isn't. Nothing is ever easy about telling someone who cowardly you are.
But, Simon doesn't react the way Grace expects. He doesn't shun him, chastise him for his selfishness, or even say he's disappointed. Instead, he's staring blankly, before asking how would Grace be a coward for running?
How is Grace a coward for wanting to live?
From Simon's perspective, Grace isn't a coward, he's human. A human who wanted to live and fought every step of the way too, even if it could've risked many lives. It's what a human does, that's in their nature.
Simon would never view Grace as a coward, just someone who wanted to live, like he did.
when you're trying to work on saving your planet but your best friend won't stop throwing a fucking circle at you
rocky not fucking like ball. warning.
do you think the eridian students had a thrum on what to give dr. grace the human for his birthday every year?
do you think they got together in one of the most powerful thinking ceremonies eridians can participate in, just to give him a little something that showed him they cared??
Solarpunk has failed. It's time for the Solar Gothic. Show me an environmentally conscious world that is haunted by its past; where its failures still intrude upon the present. Where the characters live in the shadow of a decadent but much more materially wealthy past whose crumbling edifices mock them with the waste and the missed opportunities they represent. Show me characters who remember the promise of modernity, the story of ever-growing progress, and either lament that it is not for them or continue to cling to it like madmen. Show me a world that's trapped, claustrophobically, in an anthropocene that they are only gradually learning to manage, and where all former illusions of mastery or permanence have been dispelled.
But where does the yogurt come in?
It's all they serve in the convent
#the issue with all the punk thingz like steampunk cyberpunk dieselpunk etc iz that they inevitably get reduced from a message 2 an aesthetic
I mean, I think that a major structural problem with solarpunk from the get go is that is you're positing a utopian society built upon a subculture based around rejecting social norms. Like, how do you tell a story about that? If they're "punks," surely they need to be rebelling against something?
I like to think that Simon and Rocky's early friendship involves a lot of aggressive banter that usually ends in Simon punting Rocky across the Hail Mary. Rocky is a professional rage-baiter and Simon has a short temper. They appreciate using one another as a verbal/physical punching bag (Rocky hates it when his snarkiness goes too far and he makes Grace cry and Simon would rather throw himself back in the Iron Lung than accidentally let his anger out on Grace. So Rocky and Simon make this weird mutual agreement to just... Squabble out their bullshit)
Bonus: Rocky is pissed he can't get Simon back for all the punting while he's stuck in his xenonite ball. So, one of the first things Rocky does once he finishes making his xenonite suit is to dead-leg Simon from behind when he least expects it. This starts up another round of bickering as Rocky scampers off to give Grace a hug while Simon is still writhing on the floor spitting profanities
one thing i love about the phm fandom is the sheer amount of people who love stratt. like so many other fandoms would overlook her or hate her or reduce her into an evil caricature because shes a woman in a powerful position who did something bad to the white boy protagonist but the phm fandom ADORES her. and theyre right. eva stratt the character ever
❤️💙💛GRACEFUL💛💙❤️

the upgraded xenonite suit was invented shortly after

the scene where Rocky runs off to get a clock, and Grace kinda just stands there waiting and apologizing for talking so much while Rocky bops back into the screen, just chirping away--and we know those aren't idle sounds. it's language. it's Rocky talking, just as much as Grace is talking. Rocky has been so, so alone for so, so long and meets this creature who makes so much noise all the time, and even though they're sort of talking over each other it must be such a comfort to just have something to talk at, to have something talk at him. imagine if Rocky had known that Grace was apologizing for being the sole beacon of sound and life Rocky has come into contact with in five decades.
Goodbye. No understand word. Means, uh, see you later. But I won’t see you later.

We all know Grace is a yapper
But so is Rocky
He never stops talking
They get back to Erid and Rocky introduces Grace and Adrian to each other
And over the first few weeks that Adrian is observing them together, they hear Grace's non-stop yapping
And they just take a moment, and then with nothing but unrestrained (slightly fond) horror, they go "Oh my god there's two of them"
Grace making huge advencements in the Eridian medical field.
Turns out there's a childhood disease to the tune of measles that erodes the carapace, and the first symptom shows up about a week before any actual damage is caused.
Grace comments to Rocky that one of his students seems to be turning oxidisation-green. About a week later that student has to be hospitalised for this illness.
Eridian scientists realise pretty quick that Grace can detect the illness long before any of their equipment can, and when caught that early it is much, much easier and safer to treat.
Not only is Grace celebrated in the scientific field for his knowledge and for his part in saving the world, he becomes a beacon of hope for doctors and parents and children on Erid.
