Fannish proximity across time and space

Sedgwick wrote on the transformative potential of queer reading practices in ways that, to me, also describe fannish modes of attachment:  "I think that for many of us in childhood the ability to attach intently to a few cultural objects, objects of high or popular culture or both, objects whose meaning seemed mysterious, excessive, or oblique in relation to the codes most readily available to us, became a prime resource for survival. We needed for there to be sites where the meanings didn’t line up tidily with each other, and we learned to invest those sites with fascination and with love."  In the same passage, she writes of “a visceral near-identification with the writing I cared for”: not with one or more of the characters, but with the writing; “on the level of sentence structure, metrical pattern, rhyme.” This fannish merging with the text – with its aesthetic form – was “one way of trying to appropriate what seemed the numinous and resistant power of the chosen objects.”  Meanwhile, Carolyn Dinshaw, a medieval scholar and one of the founding co-editors of the journal GLQ, was writing about the “queer ... touch across time”: the intense affective attachments, including identification, which produce queer  – that is, oblique, resistant and desiring  – relationships to the medieval past, which exceed and refuse normative trajectories and linear histories, and find in medieval pasts and texts that “numinous and resistant power” that makes certain art objects, for their fans, potent “resources for survival.” Finding in the distant past another way of organising sexuality, selfhood and experience, which we somehow recognise, which we somehow need – the “defiant and confused” feeling of knowing, without knowing how we know, that this book, this person, this artwork, is “one of ours,” as Alison Hennegan describes in “On Becoming a Lesbian Reader.” The queer touch across time retrieves though this is too passionless a word – it rescues artworks and archives from the dustbin of history, resonating with Taylor J. Acosta’s characterisation of fandom as “a historiographic approach in the Benjamanian tradition, not as an explicit critique of history, with its pretences to critical distance, total understanding, and specificity, but rather as an alternative practice in which an art produced of love and affect can function historically.” The queer or fannish touch across time produces “worthless knowledge”: knowledge that has no value that can be registered by neoliberal-capitalist metrics and that is for that reason invaluable. (It strikes me that my desire to quote from these texts, to show them to you, is itself fannish. Look! Look at this thing that I love! It says something to me that cannot be said in any other form. Does it speak to you too? What does it say?)

In ‘A Sketch of the Past’, Virginia Woolf’s autobiographical memoirs, she explicitly designates ‘moments of being’ as the material of art. In this text, as in the first occurrence of the term in her fiction—the 1928 short story entitled ‘Moments of Being: “Slater’s pins have no points”’—the word she uses as a synonym for a ‘moment of being’ is ‘shock’ (Woolf 1985, 71).6 A ‘shock’ occurs when the ‘nondescript cotton wool’ of ‘non-being’—that is, the humdrum, forgettable activities of daily life, associated with the normalised appearances of the world—is abruptly torn open. This tear is likened to a physical ‘blow’ delivered by ‘something real behind appearances’ which emerges at this point.

(Woolf 1985, 70–72) as cited in Disturbing Epiphany: Rereading Virginia Woolf’s ‘Moments of Being’Perturber l’épiphanie : une relecture des « moments d’être » de Virginia Woolf – Naomi Toth

Reading [Desire/Love], I came to recognize the irony of trying to trace my desire’s paths in order to figure out what my story should be. As Berlant’s accounting of psychoanalytic theories of desire demonstrates, desire is a fundamentally unstable force that constantly misrecognizes its objects. The thing we really desire (to return to our imagined infantile cohesion with our environments) is impossible and maybe even never existed in the first place. Instead, we are doomed to simply repeat these misfires endlessly. The objects of your desire are merely “things and scenes that you have converted into propping up your world”—they are “shaky anchors,” certainly not enough to build a whole identity on.

That is not to say that sexual identity is meaningless. This kind of categorization via, say, labels that allow for visibility for non-normative identities or relationships (sexual and otherwise) is of course useful, in that it gives people a context in which to understand themselves and each other. It’s also politically important, in that it allows us all to build alliances through our shared investment in imagining and protecting possibilities beyond existing norms, which are “white, Western, heterosexual, and schooled to the protocols of ‘bourgeois’ privacy” (as Berlant puts it) and thus actively harmful to many people. But reading Desire/Love, I was able to see that who I fuck, their particular understandings of their genders or sexualities at that time, and my particular understandings of those things, is not in and of itself a path toward answering that existential question “Who am I?” or even “What should my life be?” even as the conventional cultural pairing between desire and self can make me think that it is.

when i was a kid i always wanted to prove scientifically that magic is real. and i am succeeding!!!! the world is much more magical than you probably think. the key thing to realize is that magic is emotional, it has to do with affective experiences and altered states of consciousness. that’s what magic is. in certain cases artists express these as fiction, poetry, video games, paintings, music, so forth. it has to do with living life in new ways. it’s a search for the sublime in the everyday

a collection of words. a sequence of events.

i recount the pretty words

you whispered into my hair

who heard them first?

me or her?

am i her or...

or am i another in a long line

of holes you use to block out the sound.

2. i have nothing left to give

a carcass of what once was

with the imprint of your kiss

staining my cracked lips

blackened by this third party

3. i walk away quietly

i was never meant to be here

i dont delight in crushing toes

i walk away quietly

label me what i am

some footnote in your grand adventure

your scheme

demonise my smile

search for the venom in my words

as i walk away quietly

for when i am gone

you'll have nothing

except this footnote.³

³ That Girl. a month of fun, empty inside, never opened up, not worth the time.

"The highest form of love is consideration. When someone thinks about how things would make you feel. Pays attention to detail. Holds you in regard when making decisions that could affect you. In any bond, how much they care about you can be found in how much they consider you." - Kira J Quote

How Solution Nine and Other FFXIV Dawntrail Areas Could Affect the Story

The brand new Dawntrail areas revealed from the Japan Fanfest keynote had been fairly telling about sure components of the following growth’s story. Right here’s how Resolution 9 and different FFXIV Dawntrail areas may have an effect on the story.

Tural, Resolution 9, and extra: The unfolding story of Dawntrail

Picture: Sq. Enix To begin with, it's price noting that Tural is big. it on the total map, it’s greater than Eorzea, and it rivals the Far East in dimension. Its north and south divisions inform of Tural being not simply impressed by Central and South America, however the Americas as an entire. With a landmass this massive and various, why has Tural barely been talked about or concerned within the quite a few world occasions of Etheirys? It is perhaps the new world, nevertheless it’s populated. Even Sharlayan, the resident do-nothing nation of Etheirys, has been concerned greater than Tural. There must be a narrative purpose behind Tural being so quiet. Associated: Dawntrail Dungeon preview at Fanfest: Cruises, processing vegetation, et al

Pictures: Sq. Enix

We see a mining city resembling the look of the American Wild West because it’s depicted in widespread tradition. It even goes as far as to point out a saloon. If Tural is supposed to be each North and South America, this might recommend this space is in Northern Tural. Whereas Tural may need a metropolis of gold, I don’t assume it’s a gold rush going down on this space. We be taught from the Blue Mage questline Tural has untapped reserves of cerulean for businessmen to make expenditures into mining. Considered one of them is even on a local tribe’s land. If these businessmen had taken to the cerulean reserves in Tural, it may have sparked these mining cities to seem. The cerulean processing plant depicted within the final reveal additional helps this concept. The ominous and mysterious Resolution 9 and the way it may have an effect on the story of Dawntrail This brings us to the most important bomb drop of the keynote: Resolution 9. Amongst all of the visuals of Tural’s various however peaceable areas, we're bumped into with a purple cyberpunk metropolis with no warning. That will be misplaced in any a part of Etheirys, however particularly someplace like the remainder of Tural. Resolution 9 was described on the keynote slide as “A metropolis of towering facades constructed by a wholly totally different civilization than that of Tuliyollal”.

Pictures: Sq. Enix

There may be a lot to take a position from the title alone. What occurred to the opposite eight options, and what may a purple cyberpunk metropolis be an answer for? The lore of Etheirys supplies many attainable answers- a earlier Calamity, a civilization getting ready to collapse, the Allagan Empire’s makes an attempt to beat the world, and so forth. We’ve seen a number of superior civilizations within the narrative- the Allagans, Garlemald, Ronka, the Loporrits, and the Ancients. The one one Resolution 9 vaguely resembles is Allag- however we’ve seen a number of Allagan areas at this level, and it doesn’t solely match the Allagan structure we’re used to. They don't use that many neon screens. If something, I've a sneaking suspicion the latest PvP glamour outfits are the aesthetic of Resolution 9. They appear trendy, however not Allagan or Garlean. So are we coping with Allag’s stays but once more, or is that this a wholly new superior civilization, and if that's the case, the place did they arrive from? Who made Resolution 9? Past Etheirys isn’t unimaginable, given dragons already come from outer area. Nonetheless, Endwalker established extraterrestrial life was largely useless in Historical instances. One other hypothesis I preserve listening to is Resolution 9 is the stays of one other shard misplaced to a earlier Calamity. This isn’t out of the realm of risk given how every shard mirrors the Supply however could be unprecedented in scale. One element within the reveal of the eight-man raid’s location, The Arcadion, is very telling:

Picture: Sq. Enix You may see what resembles an Ascian glyph within the background. We all know the Ascians facilitated the rise of the Allagan Empire. Was this civilization a complete different they tried to have destroy every thing? If nothing else, I’m nearly sure Resolution 9 is the endgame space of Dawntrail. It may even be the fabled metropolis of gold. It doesn’t appear to be one, however maybe gold has one other that means. On the subject of how Resolution 9 and different FFXIV Dawntrail areas may have an effect on the story, Resolution 9 feels too huge to be something however the ‘sudden new and sudden ultimate space that breaks open the reality of the plot and world’ we’ve seen in Heavensward, Shadowbringers, and Endwalker to this point. However what reality of the world may we be lacking? We realized concerning the Ancients, the shards, and all life within the universe being useless. The builders hinted there’s a giant secret in Dawntrail. This cyberpunk metropolis must be the important thing to it. Read the full article
