I'm incredibly hot and I use this power almost solely to fulfill my ultimate fetish

#palia #jel omiata #but also ME #i'm the gal in this situation #I look at him and my neuron activates #But understanding how pathetic and impractical he is kills me #and he's corny af #I hate it and like it at the same time

I feel like we all just need to be more silly, add a bit of whimsy if you will

The AI issue is what happens when you raise generation after generation of people to not respect the arts. This is what happens when a person who wants to major in theatre, or English lit, or any other creative major gets the response, "And what are you going to do with that?" or "Good luck getting a job!"

You get tech bros who think it's easy. They don't know the blood, sweat, and tears that go into a creative endeavor because they were taught to completely disregard that kind of labor. They think they can just code it away.

That's (one of the reasons) why we're in this mess.

Always Never, by Jordi Lafebre

It's a love story in reverse. A platonic passion between two people. On the one side, there's Ana, a charismatic woman in her sixties, former mayor newly retired, a wife and a mom. A fighter with a big heart commanding respect. On the other side, there's Zeno, a confirmed bachelor, bookseller close to retiring and PhD student whose thesis took him forty years to write. A free spirit and traveller, as charming as he is mysterious.

Over the years, they have woven together an impossible and inexhaustible love. While going through the excuses that prevented it to happen, we rewind the clock on this romance, with all its twists and turns... Until its origins.

I bawled my eyes out when I reached the last page, it was amazing.

It was probably the most touching and beautiful love story I've read since... forever, maybe. The art style and the colors were what drew my attention first, and what was inside was just as beautiful as the cover.

The backward narration timewise was a really interesting way to tell Zeno and Ana's story because we know that something happened for them to lose touch and miss each other throughout the years, but we're left wondering what until we get there. It also means that some details come back at different points in time and we only understand where they come from later (the lilies were my favorite). It feels like we're being rewarded for paying attention to what's being said and drawn.

Anyways, much much love for this graphic novel, I'll borrow another one by Jordi Lafebre at the library as soon as possible.

French version under the cut

C'est l'histoire d'un amour à rebours. Une passion platonique mais éternelle entre deux êtres. D'un côté, il y a Ana. Sexagénaire charismatique, ancienne maire tout juste retraitée, mariée et maman. Une battante au grand coeur qui impose le respect. De l'autre, il y a Zeno. Célibataire endurci, libraire proche de la retraite et doctorant en physique qui aura mis quarante ans pour terminer sa thèse. Un esprit libre et voyageur, aussi séduisant que mystérieux.

Au fil des années, ils ont tissé ensemble un amour impossible et intarissable. Tout en égrainant les excuses qui ont empêché qu'elle ne prenne forme, on remonte le temps de cette romance et de ses méandres... jusqu'à sa source.

J'ai pleuré comme une madeleine quand je suis arrivée à la dernière page, c'était incroyable.

C'est probablement l'histoire d'amour la plus touchante et la plus belle que j'ai lu depuis... peut-être toujours. Les dessins et les couleurs sont ce qui a attiré mon regard en premier et l'intérieur de la BD est aussi beau que la couverture.

La narration à rebours était un moyen super intéressant de raconter l'histoire d'amour de Zéno et Ana parce qu'on sait qu'il s'est passé certaines choses pour qu'ils se perdent de vue et se ratent au fil du temps, et on se demande comment ça s'est produit jusqu'à ce qu'on y arrive. Ça permet aussi d'avoir des détails qui se répètent et dont on ne comprend l'origine que plus tard (les lys étaient mon détail préféré). On se sent récompensé quand on fait attention à ce qu'il se dit ou ce qui est dessiné.

Bref, gros gros gros coup de cœur, j'emprunterai une autre BD de Jordi Lafebre à la bibliothèque dès que possible.

(/lh .. im just infodumping for fun)

obsessed with watching behind the scenes clips of hyper-realistic cgi movies like lion king 2019 or avatar 2 and the director or whatever is talking about how since they used mocap or a fancy virtual reality camera the expressions and movements are extremely realistic and better than anything before, , and then on-screen it shows the most absolutely dead-eyed character i’ve ever seen lmao . like these side-by-side comparisons …man 

its like theyre ashamed of it being animation so they have to try get it as realistic as possible, especially the d*sney remakes have this vibe*, .… and then everything looks absolutely soulless. also like immediately dated somehow?

and then you compare that to cgi animation like in arcane or spiderverse that isnt trying to be hyper realistic and its extremely expressive, like huge attention to micro-expressions and faces that are absolutely full of life., like look at this!!!! ⬇️

shaking n crying please realise that realism and cgi as close to live-action as possible isnt the final purpose of animation in cinema 

(*sidenote, remember when lion king 2019 came out and the guy who made it was going around saying it was live-action for some reason.. that was wild . girl it is fully 100% animated)
