Con el paso del tiempo he ido acumulando retazos de sitios que he visitado, algunos visibles a simple vista, otros más ocultos. A pesar de estar hechos con la cámara de mi móvil y con unos conocimientos nulos de fotografía, creo que capturan la esencia del momento y dan una idea de lo que pretendía el artista ( naturaleza o humana).

Probablemente cree una cuenta independiente en Instagram para esto pero mientras tanto iré posteando el material en ese "cajón de sastre" que es para mí Tumblr .

Wilhelm's Portland Memorial Mausoleum Part 2

Find Part 1 here

As I continued to wander the sprawling corridors of this massive homage to the departed, the building's age and lack of maintenance became more apparent; the floors below street-level weren't only darker due to being half underground, but also because the lights didn't work in much of the building.

I assumed the lights had been turned off to save energy, but I found very few switches that worked. This only added to the desolate and melancholy aura that hung in the air. It's a unique feeling I haven't experienced anywhere else.

Even on a sunny summer afternoon, the darkness closes in quickly if you get too far from a window.

Due to being built into a hill above a wetland (water flowing downhill and all), the mausoleum is in a constant battle against water damage. The carpets hold a varying mix of scents, from mold and mildew to strong chemical cleaners to old floral perfume. The hall below smelled like fresh rain, however.

The lower levels hold some of the oldest crypts and urns, so it's not surprising that the areas less frequently visited are a lower priority on the repair and maintenance list. The sections on higher floors still have sellable spaces and regularly visiting families.

Although the chapel appears to be a separate building, you can access the chapel basement from the 3rd floor of the mausoleum. These urn rooms were much more intimate than the expansive halls I had just came from.

I notice the floor has been redone in this area somewhat recently. I wonder how long it has been since someone has come to visit these resting souls. I hope they appreciated my company.

Follow for Part 3, where we'll continue on to the deepest and darkest levels (it gets a little spooky)!

Hi Slug!! I'm curious about some of the religious imagery in hypmic! Kuko is obvious and I think Doppo has talked about not believing in gods before but what's up with Jakurai? Is he meant to actually be Christian or is it just an aesthetic thing?

This ended up being so long Tumblr wouldn't let me put it all in one post. Hoo boy. Under a cut for length.

Usual disclaimer that I don't live in Japan, so I'm not talking about IRL Japan so much as Japanese media. Media isn't perfectly synonymous with real life and, of course, it's foolish to draw conclusions from the general (media and culture) and apply them to the specific (individual persons). With that being said, media is indicative of real life values and cultural concerns--for example, the American high school experience is a lot less interesting than in movies, but these movies reflect a romanticization of teenagehood so widespread in the US and areas with heavy US cultural influence that filmmakers take it for granted in their audiences--so I can talk about what assumptions inform the portrayal of religion in Hypmic.

As in a lot of Japanese media, religion is present but not explicitly mentioned outside of Kuukou. It's what I would call culturally religious as opposed to actively religious. Similar to how many works in the Anglosphere are steeped with Christian ideas and phrases even if the authors/works themselves aren't Christian (the Christian concept of sin, using "God" or variations as an interjection, etc.), many works written in Japanese are influenced by Shinto and Buddhist ideas. Some people in Japan are active worshipers of Shinto, Buddhism, or both, but many more have a somewhat relaxed approach. It's not uncommon for people to have a belief in a higher power, but the nature of this higher power isn't terribly well-defined. Many people will attend religious ceremonies for holidays or funerals but rarely pray to a higher power outside of moments of great stress. That is, being culturally religious. Traditions are fun and comforting, especially if they involve dressing up in fancy clothes, eating yummy food, and seeing friends and family. Even if you're not especially devout, it doesn't hurt to pray for a bit of luck before a big test, that your child will grow up healthy and strong, or that your recently departed ancestor will be at peace. For those in predominately Christian areas, you probably see plenty of this in your community--people who maybe go to church occasionally for companionship or holiday celebrations but aren't active worshipers. Or, perhaps, people who pray like, "Hey, if anyone's listening, can you lend me a hand?" Maybe you're even one of these people yourself. We can generally assume that most of the cast falls into this camp. Doppo and Hifumi go to a festival with a religious element--charms and rituals to bring good luck by appealing to Shinto deities--but I doubt either of them have a firm belief that these particular deities exist. They may think that there's some higher power...or not. But what's the harm in a good luck charm, right? And more importantly, it's fun to play games, eat, drink, and horse around with friends! But wait, does that mean these two are only Shinto or...Shinto-ish? Probably not. There's an expression that most Japanese people are "born Shinto, but die Buddhist." Shinto rituals tend to focus on matters of the living (although Shintoism has its own distinct funerary rites, sometimes combined with Buddhist rites), while non-devout Buddhists usually participate in Buddhist ceremonies only when loved ones die. We see Juushi and Hitoya with loved ones buried in Buddhist cemeteries, but it's safe to assume both observe Shinto holidays and customs in some fashion. We also see in the very beginning of TDD that Nemu and Samatoki have what appears to be a butsudan--a Buddhist altar--in their home dedicated to their deceased parents. "But wait," some might say, "I thought spirit worship isn't a part of Buddhism." That's true for some forms of Buddhism, but not all! Buddhism is enormously varied, and some of the (many, many!) forms of Buddhism practiced in Japan accept aspects of Shintoism. There's plenty of mixing, just as we see within individuals themselves. Again, the Hypmic characters may not fully believe that spirits exist. (Well, outside of Ramuda...) But it's a comforting thought that one's deceased family members are around in some form and can be a positive influence on one's life.

I'm not squeamish and I'm not bothered by bones but I genuinely don't get why you'd put them on display especially in the context of a church.

well the way death is perceived (and by extension human remains, burial practices/rituals and funerary art) just changes a lot throughout history and across cultures and societies doesn't it. it doesn't just depend on religion and the concept of earthly life/afterlife but also on culture (e.g., what is considered respectful), current philosophy, aesthetics, sensibilities etc.

obviously christianity puts emphasis on the afterlife and as a consequence earthly remains are just that – remains. by following that logic it's not disrespectful to put them on display as a memento mori or as a relic. i would also argue that the culture of death in the middle ages (and in general in pre-modern medicine times) was fundamentally different from today's.

to us, death is a concept we are periodically confronted with whereas in the middle ages it was a much more tangible, inescapable reality due to the circumstances. just think about the impact the black death plague(s) had on art and literature (like the whole danse macabre genre for instance).

we don't like to be confronted with the concept of death, so the sight of a human skull can be deeply upsetting to us, especially in contexts where we wouldn't normally expect to see one. they, on the other hand, didn't really have a choice. they saw death everywhere all the time (wars, famines, death in childbirth, infant mortality, illness...). so i guess to them the sight of a human skull was just a reminder of something they were already well acquainted with, rather than something shocking

about the character ask meme - *thousand terrible ideas race through my mind, but i get a hold of myself in favour of something civil*

i give you a choice of either harry kim from star trek or fujita from drhdr :3c

omg :D thank you for the ask i would like to talk about our mutual friend fujita for now ))

First impression: my 1st impression of main drhdr characters comes from my failed attempt to read in in the year of our lord 2013, so it might be a little hazy, but actually (lore drop) at that time i was inspired to read dorohe by seeing a fanart of fujita on zerochan and liking his design — a mix of 00s skater boy aesthetic with outright fairytale accessories.. idk. i thought he looked neat :) and he was giving me the shounen protag vibe from the get go…

Impression now: him being the satellite of my all time fave dorohe girl, i do find him endearing.. i think we’ve discussed this previously but i think by manga finale he’s fully cemented himself as one of the most promising future players for the sorcerer world.. to me at least..

Favorite moment: oh i love a lot when he’s breaking Ens rules re: black powder and guns.. his invisible arc glowup was great to see, as well as his interactions with tetsujo..

Idea for a story: i don’t have a story oriented mind sadly (unless it’s ‘guards! put that man in a time loop’), so i would humbly suggest Shenanigans.. nikaido should teach him how to skate fr!

Unpopular opinion: idk how much sorcerer society adheres to tumblrina notions of romantic cannibalism, so it might sound a bit blasphemous but i think he would benefit so so much from funerary cannibalising what’s left of matsumura…

Favorite relationship: all platonic atm! i begrudgingly like his friendship with ebisu.. which i bet he still isn’t fully on board with himself hehe :) and i’m looking with my 👁️👁️ at his hero worship life goals etcetera of en..

Favorite headcanon: his hair colour was a botched magical dye job and It’s Going To Be Like This Forever

#also it just might be excessive gore impairing my judgement but i think he and yasaka should’ve made out nasty.#***ask #bravinto #thank you sm!!!
