“What’s it like?” you ask. “The Spire?”
“It’s a citadel,” they reply. “A grand citadel. I don’t think there’s any other buildings in the world built like her. It looks like it’s either about to bite you or eat you, but it’s home. It’s home to a lot of us. Even professional wanderers need a place to return to when the world’s worn them out.”
— Wayfarer by @idrellegames
The Spire, and the lone Wayfarer coming back home

Fairytales in French cinema
Pictures of "Azur and Asmar", Michel Ocelot second big animated success after "Kirikou and the Witch". Released in 2006, this movie is not inspired by any precise folktale, though the story could be a One Hundred and One Nights fairytale. Whereas Kirikou was a translation of Western African folklore, this movie is set within the Muslim Maghreb of the Middle-Ages, and just like with Kirikou, Michel Ocelot uses the format of a fairytale to explore serious topics such as physical discriminaton, social injustice or geographical displacement.

Some art for Palestine. This tragedy makes all of our hearts bleed 🫀🩸.
Tumblr media
+ A poem I wrote :
"Palestine and the White Fire"
If I had a canvas, what would I paint
Today ? I have words enough for
Abomination. I have a black bag
Of barbed walls, of justified slaughter,
Of bile dark lies, of houses gone silent.
Down by the sea, a hospital's walls
Painted with patient's blood, a healing
Room wallpapered with white shrouds.
Look away, child. You were never meant to
See this. Your eyes are black with the sound
Of bombs. You wish for a mother you no
Longer have. You wish for a home they
Haven't stolen. Your wishes are so small
In this great inferno. Hellfire will not let
You be a child. Hellfire will not let your
Heart look away. Your heart is burning,
And the sunbird suffocates while
Trying to bathe the blaze, one mouthful of
Water at a time. I could paint all the blood
Palestine has lost. I could paint your mother
In Heaven. I could paint Home, yours again,
Whole and safe, from the river to the sea.
I could paint your dreams. I could wish your
Wishes.
Wish, wish, wish that Palestine shall be free.
White fire reigns on Palestine tonight,
But the sand of that land remembers
Who lost the most, who loves the most.

Sorry not sorry but we, French people, have the best movies and the best movie-makers ever
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kirikou et la sorcière
Princes et princesses
Dragons et princesses
Azur et Asmar
All of them by Michel Ocelot
And, obviously, THE movie that got THE Miyazaki inspired to do his:
Tumblr media
Le roi et l'oiseau, by Paul Grimault
This one is probably my favourite movie of ALL time.
Like.
It's brilliant.
I loved it when I was a child, I still love it now for different reasons. The double meanings are incredible, the animation is SO DAMN GOOD (and the film was released in 1980) (it took over 30 years to make because the production was a disaster but the result is... MASTERPIECE)

Do you have any Actor Peacekeeper art?
My guess is that she’s a voice actor for a CGI character.
I'm sorry I don't have art of actor Keeper
And you're right that in that AU the character of Keeper is CGI, but her voice actress does act with the others while wearing a green + foam costume to help place the character
I don't have art but I have a sort of description !
Actor Keeper is Pamela "Paz" Leuliet, an extraverted lady, full of life !
She's motherly in her own way, more on the tough love side, so playing a mother character like Keeper is quite the challenge for Paz
I gotta develop on that a little more, but we had that one joke that Paz, Juliette and other actors kinda fought about who keeps the Filante plush they use on set lmao ( Paz being Keeper, who's close to Filante, and Juliette is the VA for Filante in that world)
Now, I don't have art of Paz, but I do have art of human Keeper ! Behold !

Chanting his pleadings poetically through symbolism, as a poem offers a wide scope for symbolic writing through which the poet may express what nationalistic sentiments strike him without explicitly divulging them. For instance, poets frequently address their loved ones while actually meaning their homeland. If the poet were to write in his poem ‘Beware O oppressor’ – seemingly referring to a lover tormenting him – then the authorities will not be able to discern his intention to warrant pursuing legal measures against him. Meanwhile, the tactful reader recognises the poet’s intention and understands his real sentiments.
Fouzi El-Asmar, from This World, Issue No. 36, March 1967, quoted here

A couple weeks late on posting because I’ve been sick BUT we made it past the halfway point and Baby CJ is still a handsome stubborn and healthy boy💙 he’s measuring in the 85% percentile and because he’s stubborn I had to do the anatomy scan twice to get him to cooperate! He’s been very active at night and Daddy got to feel him for the first time on Mothers Day🥹
