Azune’s mind palace of memories must be incredible. If I had the patience to read Proust I’d have the power to write about Azune and his madeleines, so to speak. Hey Azune, how that cookie taste? 👀

You may think the phrase "He's just a little guy" comes from internet memes, but you would be wrong.

The true origin of the phrase belongs to celebrated author Tamora Pierce, in her 1983 novel Alanna: The First Adventure, when Gary says, "Still—what can Alan do for you? He's just a little guy"(49).

Thus, whenever we say of someone or some creature that they are "just a little guy," what we are really saying is that they are a short redheaded knight-in-training with some sort of Gender going on who will kick your butt given half a chance.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. May we all be the little guys we wish to see in the world.

writing is just sitting in front of a computer and making up problems for imaginary people while ignoring your own. fun and casual hobby.

making nothingburger connections again but i can't stop thinking about the fact that kattigan uses an atlatl (a mesoamerican weapon with a nahuatl name) and that the one word we know now in navika'an is inxolotle (a word that is almost definitely derived from nahuatl). i'm not saying there's a connection between those things or a deeper connection between kattigan and azune at all, BUT. it would be so cool

forced caretaking as a trope i think is like cocaine to people who know they need to be taken care of but have mental blocks in the way like yeah please do gently force me into a state of vulnerability so my body learns it is a safe thing to feel around you

This has gotta be a hit with the girlies who have always wanted something terrible to happen to them just so people realize they're in more misery than their outward appearance lets on

if i wanted to make rothko-style paintings, what should i keep in mind? i don't want to try to perfectly imitate his work, but i do want to put myself in his artistic mindset to see what it feels like to make one of these paintings

Well I think it's hard to say what his artistic mindset was but maybe we can assume a few things.

Rothko abandoned drawing basically so there's no recognizable figures, so for lack of a better way of putting it, he is painting color as spiritual expression.

And I think that's the important part of the mindset that Rothko, and some of his contemporaries, felt. Like they were painting the same ideas that are in every painting. As Rothko said "tragedy ecstasy doom ," but abstracted, so instead of painting the characters of history or the Bible you're expressing the feelings you have in a more stripped down way. Unencumbered, perhaps.

When you go into doing something really abstract I think it's important not to have fear about it. Fear makes people want to resort to old formats but I think maybe the lesson is let yourself go and there's nothing wrong with seeing what happens, that's what all artists really do. Pollock didn't really consider de Kooning to be an abstract painter purely, he said "Bill is a French painter," meaning that he does something and then covers it up. And that concealment is a little bit different than being a pure abstract artist (I've always loved this distinction by the way.)

In terms of the other stuff, remember that Rothko painted with a base coat of glue and pigment and then applied a lot of thin layers of color to the painting after that was dry. This translucency is really key to the way that his paintings have weight. Sometimes there's very furious brush work, as I have mentioned, underneath the surface but it's not the first thing you see. So this idea of floating objects, and soft edges and many translucent layers, technique-wise is maybe something to think about if you want to get some of that feeling. Think of colors as advancing and receding depending on the color and also how you paint it.

Good luck!

That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science

Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?

episode 30 is the episode of siblings.

teor and cyd dying paw in paw.

bolire (choosing to go to his sister instead of help wick or tyranny) narrowly missing a disintegrate from termina, an utter betrayal and still saying that he loves her as he runs away. later when he tortures the man he possesses with the vision of his brother being murdered, directs a play using exact words from teor and cyd and struggling to make something that is solely his.

zebani saying she will kill wick for what’s he’s done to her.

jullien clutching the gem with his sister’s soul and choosing not to die in the dark and assumedly dooming teor with this choice.

occtis having hope that maybe his brother hasn’t wholly betrayed him, hoping that maybe julien wouldn’t kill him.

hal, his life’s work turned into a ritual by his brother to free their people.

vaelus tasked with chosing freeing her siblings from the underworld or the entire rungjani peoples gathered there at the hallowed round and just not knowing what to choose.

shaking the bars of my enclosure. add on everything azune and mayali have plus thimble just learning her brother’s okay GOD DUDE
