#and how that shapes how people are intepreted

hellooo!

you know something that interests me so much, is how Jordan’s perspective is unreliable. Just by the nature of him having an edited pov makes him an unreliable narrator to the audience.

The best example I have of this is why capsize thought they were together. In his pov it comes out of left field, like it makes no sense that she would consider that. But if you go to Tom’s episode, you can see that she literally thinks that because Tom says in chat that him and Jordan are fucking. Like, honestly the comparison of Jordan’s “Girl Problems” ep and Tom’s 81st episode is the best example of that because it frames Capsizes character in a certain light depending on who you watch and because people will usually only watch Jordan’s (because it’s shorter) then it’s a bit of a one sided view.

And I bet you there are season 2 examples but I’d have to rewatch it from someone else’s perspective first before I give an example.

YESSSS NO YEAH EXACTLYY

The unreliable narrator of Jordan's POV is really super interesting because actually like!! you could lore wise outside the meta of edited content ooc interpret it as an intentionally crafted story, where ye!! The whole bit about capsize thinkin thems boyos were together without the context of Tom's comment (which I gen only caught bc I paused Jordan's ep to read the chat when he opened it) makes her out to be a completely different person versus if ya saw it in Tom's POV- in the sense of her to Jordan trying to deflect away from a supposed truth versus her just obvs playin off what Tom was together and them zombiecaptains bein silly

In a way, if ya follow the headcanon from DSMP that chat is personified as an in-universe entity of sorts around the character (like Ranboo's ender particles, the voices of the Blood god to Techno, or Phil's crows); like Jordan got little sparkles floating around him only he can see/hear, the fact that we only see bits of his POV could be like him trying to appeal to them (aka them rampant shippers- show his dynamic with Capsize as they expect which is what leads to the inconsistency in her character) As he goes on he starts to learn to ignore them and just roll how he rolls

(in all honesty i like to abide by the headcanon that the whole "im in love w/ capsize" shenanigans was actually cJordan's dumbass way of deflecting off not wantin to admit he was in love with cTom and was egged on by chat but thats a ramble for another day LMAO)

Also!! thats so true too like I havent watched any other S2 POVs but we kinda actually see it in Isles a lil 👀 Ive been hoppin back n forth between Tom and Jordan's povs for fun during my watchthrough where while the edited v. uncut has been flipped, while you can see all of Tom and Karl's shenanigans uncut in Jord's POV, it still doesnt make any sense the motivations for stuff like him joining Team Ianite unless u can see those interactions he has privately with Dianite (who is also so two totally different people between the two povs). But whats interesting is how like Isle!Tom's kind of unreliable narrator is different in nature from S1!Jordan, where its like the intent between the kind of story either is trying to tell has different motivation behind it ig? ye :D ty for this brainrot btw note I Will put lore to everything and. yeah anyhoozers

#i apologize if some of this doesnt make sense its 2am and brain decided Now is when Im havin thoughts #i couldve waited to answer this till i was more awake but i was thinkin about it all afternoon n only now could i sit down and do a little #a little writing hehe /silly #but. yeah. sits. #thinks about the nuance of storytellers (not necessarily in the sense of revisionist history but) moreso limited perspective #and how that shapes how people are intepreted #goes insane #asks #licantropa #jordan captainsparklez #captain capsize #lafakiwi talks

Columbo (Columbo) "A shrewd but inelegant blue-collar homicide detective whose trademarks include his shambling manner, rumpled beige raincoat, cigar and off-putting, relentless investigative approach. Columbo was the master of perp sweating. Though he generally settles on his horse from the outset, he never lets on, instead worming his way into their confidence via fawning adulation, begging their assistance as he "solves" the case. Usually he forces them to weave a huge web of lies until he can finally pull the thread — justified because he's always right. Without letting on that he suspects the perp, he'd have long, seemingly innocuous conversations with the murderer who would get more and more frustrated as they tried to get this annoying man to go away, and thus already be off-balance when the topic turned to holes in their cover-up. Columbo's favorite move was seeming to leave once the suspect thought they'd thrown him off the scent, then turning around and adding "Just one more thing," knocking them on their heels. He's overly nice to people in a bloodhound sort of way; he convinces people that he's just a country bumpkin more interested in whatever 'hat' the villain wears than solving the crime, only to reveal in the end a cold detachment and clinical mind that the bumpkin persona allowed free rein. He plays with the feelings of the criminals, making them like him (more often than not) or at least pity him and drop their guard, or he pushes them subtly and continuously to the point where they break. He attributes his success to merely working harder, thinking longer, and looking closer than anyone else would. However, Columbo has solved every case put before him onscreen (he sometimes claims that he only solves about a third total, but this could well be part of the humility act) and hasn't gotten his man only once — in which case the perp was dying anyway. In true classic mystery fashion, each episode wraps up with the Lieutenant confronting his prey with his train of deduction, culminating in the vital clue; the perp may not confess, but they know, and the viewer knows, they have been beaten. He also possesses an encyclopedic knowledge on some subjects, which he usually hides, and has explained to colleagues that his wife believes there is "something wrong" with him."

Jadis (Kill Six Billion Demons) "Jadis was born into a family of philosopher royalty who saw the Shape of the Universe as an experiment to study and dissect; they wasted ten generations in their efforts to witness the Shape (something that boiled a goddess’ eyes to see) and obtain all the secrets of Creation, a task she was prophecised to complete. She successfully saw the Shape, but it proved to be a thing beyond mortal ken and Jadis was shattered in both mind and body. She now exists inside a block of glass, a decaying, unmoving corpse, whispering prophecies with her perfect, terrible knowledge and worshipped by a cult devoted to recording and intepreting her whispers (and occasionally mis-interpreting them) while keeping their God-Queen alive. Book 5 demonstrates that, like the author has said, “Jadis knows the most, in fact. Of anyone. Ever”…and it has utterly destroyed her. Her perfect knowledge left her a deeply jaded, nihilistic woman who feels her actions, choices, and even her own identity (and everyone else's) are rendered completely moot when compared to the full shape of the universe. As someone who is ignorant of nothing, Jadis' limits are absolute and she is incapable of anything she hasn't already predicted will happen. She can't choose to do anything, because her decisions and their outcomes are already known to her. The alt text and some of her lines in her section of Breaker of Infinites discuss how if you can see everything, anything in it just becomes meaningless, unidentifiable noise in the infinite detail of it all: “When you see everything, there’s only one color left.” Jadis straight-up tells Allison that she, Jadis, does not exist in any meaningful sense because she can't tell where the lines between the Shape of the Universe and even her own mind are anymore. Consequently, Jadis tries to convince Allison to stop her mission to stop the destruction of the multiverse because she’s convinced that fighting is futile and meaningless in the end, so she should surrender instead of choosing more suffering. She takes Allison to see the machine that showed her the Shape, tells her the exact time from then she will die, comments on a personal detail of Allison’s past, and says what she’s doing before she does it (to make it creepier, her predictions were in the alt text several pages before). She then shows Allison the Shape and gives her a breaking speech to try and convince her to give up, and eventually talks Allison into accepting futility for months before she gets her shit together. Allison eventually realizes that Jadis is unable to change or recover from the traumas of her past because she no longer has a past - her perfect knowledge of everything that ever is, was, and will be means that she is constantly, continually reliving the complete and total despair that hit her when she saw the Shape and realized the futility of everything, and will do so for as long as she exists. Jadis wanted to know, believing that she could use her wisdom for the greater good, but the horrible knowledge she gained by seeing literally everything ever destroyed her so completely that she cannot comprehend being a person or making choices anymore--she has thus trapped herself in nihilistic certainty that she knows what’s going to happen and therefore nothing matters, and she wants to impress that mindset onto the only person she can even share her omniscience with anymore."

Some people are intepreting the family group chat to mean that Marianne and Greg’s dad are still in regular amicable contact, but I’m pretty sure it’s a Hirsch family group chat. It wasn’t “our son Goebbels”, after all. 

So not only is Greg in regular contact with his father, there are enough other Hirsches around  to make up a group chat and he’s in somewhat regular contact with all of them too? 

This is pretty wild to me given the content of the entire show. Does Greg have other cousins? A second grandfather? 

To me the fundamental Greg moment isa)  when Ewan gives him the ultimatum to quit Waystar or be disinherited, and Greg doesn’t go through with quitting because Logan tells Greg that he likes him. I’ve seen people complain about this a lot--that it either doesn’t make sense or is evidence that Greg is very, very stupid (he is only a little stupid). But  in my view, Greg does this for one of two reasons: 

A) Deep down, on some level, Greg knows that he is never going to see that money, not even if he does exactly what Ewan wants him to do for the rest of his life. Ewan witheld his wealth from him when he was alive and he would continue to withold it when died because to give him something would mean that he approved of Greg somehow, and Greg knowns that he doesn’t. 

B) Greg is genuinely so desperate for any sort of affection that Logan merely saying that he liked him--not loved him, liked him-- is enough to make him give up a quarter of a billion dollars.  

Either option is profoundly sad. This man is so emotionally malnourished that he is relying on Logan Roy for warmth. 

That viewers were lead to believe that Greg’s father is not part of his life makes him easy to slot in to the Roy family drama.You don’t have to think about what othe familial relationships he might have that might shape how he interacts with all this Roy shit. The Roys are his family--his only family--and if he wants any familial bonds with anyone it has to be from them. Otherwise, why not use leverage your current six figure position into a six figure position somewhere else and fuck off instead of trying to get along with your cousins who hate you? It’s not like anybody but Tom would even care that he didn’t work for Waystar anymore.     

You can be a fundamentally absent father and still text your child three times a day to complain to him about working for Fox News, but what is everyone else’s deal? Greg is in the groupchat. I can’t imagine they’re too nice to him as they presumably don’t object to his own father calling him a nazi, but can you imagine the Roys including Greg in something like this. Does he ever spend holidays with them? Is he actually not in the group chat and he somehow finds out about them shit talking him second hand somehow? We’ll have to wonder about Greg’s Gay Dad forever and now we have to wonder about all these people too. 

#Grandpa Hirsch and Greg's other cousins exist they just somehow hate him even more #alternatively: the group chat is just his dad and Ewan and Greg calls it the family Wechat #because he is uncomfortable explaing his dad and Ewan's special relationship #Greg's Dad is to Ewan what Tom is to Logan #(repressed gay man in doomed marriage to his only daughter but who he unironically respects more than anyone he is related to) #He calls Greg Goebbels specifically because Ewan compares Logan to Hitler #hbo succession #greg hirsch #succession #succession posting

How did you learn tarot? :3

A few years back I was gifted a deck of Tarot from my bestest of friend on my birthday:) I had already been learning Astrology for some time back then and was always so SO interested in tarot😭 So you can imagine how thrilled I was to receive my first deck of cards!

I remember reading somewhere that I shouldn't start practicing Tarot as the deck of card should come to you first so for the longest of time nor did I feel ready to practice Tarot or did I ever buy one🥲 My mom later on told me that belief is lead by a lot of traditional or older readers and nowadays, a lot of things have changed! So if you want to learn Tarot, don't be afraid too:)

Getting back to the story, I learned Tarot by memorizing the suits and by studying the art on the deck! Right now after 4 years of doing Tarot I think I have quite a collection of decks and while I read the traditional meaning, I also intepret the art of each and every deck! Take 4 of cups for example, traditionally, the card talks about taking something for granted and discontentment. However, in one of my decks, the art shows a woman who's looking at the starry sky with gratitude, hence if the card every shows up in a reading, I'll also intuitively read it:)

I have been working with my spirit guides for a while and have also performed some small rituals and did a few spelled candles for manifestation purpose haha. I try to raise my vibration often and try my best not to give into my negative thoughts! In the same time, I always tell my customers when I'm reading for them is not to ever let my reading effect their life, it's their choice to read into their current energy and as it is the current energy, their reality is how they shape it, hence their future can always be altered. One thing I find really common after tarot reading is that people will let the reading haunt them LOL and subconsciously, they're giving into the obsessive thought and therefore manifesting it into their reality. So I try to make sure my customers are ready mentally and are open to let me in. Tarot reading should not be taken lightly at all and it should always be noted that knowledge come with a price.

For me, I sometimes have what people call a psychic burnouts and will experience headaches or I'll feel light-headed and tired after doing some readings, especially ones that are serious and lean on the deeper side of life, where I'll carry some of the individual's burdens and energy with me for a few hours afterwards🥲 I find it very useful to drink tea and burn candles to relax as a tarot readers!

Above are some tips I can think as of right now:) If you have any more questions let me know dear!

love,

saint jenx🖤

I saw The Squid Game and here are thoughts (spoilers)

-First of all, maybe is my non korean ass being ignorant, but the shape they use through the entire thing to represent the Squid Game looks absolutely nothing like a squid and that has bothered me the entire time. I was waiting for someone to make sense of it and never happened. Was it just me? I was the only one who cared about the accurate representation of marine creatures through basic shapes? Yes? I am just being nitpicky? Okay.

-I already liked the actor who plays Jang Deok-su because of his role on another korean show, Beyond good and evil, that is an excelent mistery show I totally recommend, where he also plays as some kind of mafia lord that gets into trouble and is a little shit. Also he is hot as fuck, so that helps a lot. He was my personal favourite character right after Ali, a pakistan immigrant that was desperate to provide for his family, because Deok-su was such a fucking asshole that legitimately didn’t give a fuck about anything and that is always fun to see.

-And now that I mentioned him, Ali was too good for this fucking world and he didn’t deserved shit of what happened to him. Even before ever entering the game.

-The premise of this show is basically to contrast against how capitalism screws over people against basic kindness, which is antithesis to capitalism itself, and that i show we get to the final winner of the whole game. Now, there is a space to talk about how these type of stories could come across as kinda simplistic, but it doesn’t feel like the purpose of the show at all is to go out of it’s way to argue so much about this issue as just show the issue, show the consequences and talk about it within the context of a narrative.

-This is why my favourite episode of all has to be the one in which the majority of players decide to go home, after witnessing literal mass murder during the first game, only to realice life still fucking sucks for all of them and that is why they chose to participate on the first place. They still struggle to deal with the shit they did before, they still struggle to find money, even on circunstances in which nobody should have to fight so hard. It talks about a type of system that is so fundamentally broken and fucked up that it would really leave a diabetic elderly woman in pain to walk away to keep working simply because she doesn’t have the means to pay for her necesary treatment or even for her house if she doesn’t do that. -And sure, the reason why this happens is mostly because the protagonist had a gambling addiction that made him to waste all the money they did have, but ultimately he is not responsible for creating such hard conditions in the first place and the show goes out of it’s way to show different ways in which people are screwed over in ways they could have never had any control over, no matter how hard they worked. Some people chose to make their own mistakes and screw other people over, and they got to live with the results of that, but ultimately is all about the money and who has it, who gets it and who doesn’t, not about fairness or justice. So, when a big chunk realice that the outside world is just as hostile and unforgiving as before, they decide to come back because yeah, it’s hell, but at least they have a promise that things could turn better even if the cost is their own lives. Outside of the game they didn’t had not even that.

-I also really like how they contrasted the supposed principle behind the game against the actual structure of such, because at least I read it as a microcosmos representing the outside world as it is. Like of yeah, very fucking equal are people inside of this island where chain of command are still a thing, where they are still fucking pawns on someone’s else game whose rules they didn’t create or chose to, and where the people with the money literally laugh at their death because it’s that insignificant to them. Alright, yeah, keep telling youself that. But that is also the rationale outside, right? “Everyone has a chance to do better, if only you worked harder and keep trying surely you would be fine. Forget that the game was rigged against you from the start and don’t even fucking mind about the literal piles of bodies of nobodies that didn’t won like you did, because they didn’t worked as hard as you did. Don’t think too hard about it. Just keep working and then enjoy that money.” I don’t think you are meant to believe on that shit, but it’s what the Front Man tells himself to keep going. Everyone is equal… but some are more equal than others.

-On that sense it feels very reminiscent of the vibe that gave off Parasyte in it’s treatment of the same issue, so you can definitely enjoy it from that perspective or, if you don’t want to, can simply enjoy it as a entertaining, well made story about human drama and people literally struggling to survive, with some moments that will punch at your fucking heart and make you feel like shit as good stories tend to do.

-It’s a very aesthetically pleasing show, I can tell you that much. It’s not super artsy fartsy with a lot of symbolism going on, or maybe it was but it’s a cultural specific symbolism I didn’t catch on, but it’s still very competently made with a lot of just fucking beautiful shots in which every single frame matters and used with purpose. I don’t remember a single second that I was “why the fuck are you showing me this” because it’s actually what they DON’T show you what ends up mattering.

-Having said that, the show does have it’s twists and turns but they aren’t super difficult to not see coming if you pick up on how the show works. I wasn’t shocked by the ending because I had already seen the hows, they actually help you to come to it by going out of their way to always show you the dead bodies of past characters, so when they don’t actually do that it does stand out and if you pick on that then you can see it coming. So I personally wouldn’t recommend this show on the basis “the twist will surprise you!” because I don’t think that is right mindset to come into it. Come for the story and stay for the characters, that are all well worth it, not for the twists.

-The ending was an obvious cliff hanger for the next season, which I am fine with, but I also liked it because it kept consistent with the main character himself. Like sure, he does see how bullshit the whole game actually is, but it’s also, and this might be just my own interpretation, keeping up with what we have established already with him about having a gambling addiction because he genuelly enjoys the thrill. It’s not about the winning money, because if that were the case then he wouldn’t be immediately giving it away the second he has some, but just the winning and losing only to try again which keeps him going on. Also there is a tiny little implication that the man actually is using his gambling addiction as a consequences of untreated PTSD after watching his friend die during a protest like some form of self medication, since when he is losing or winning at least he is not having flashbacks or thinking how he tried to fight the system before one single time and it was all downhill from there. But that might be just my own intepretation again and not necesarily something they wanted to establish. In any case, that his entire character arc ends up being “he wins all the games for the first time… but at what cost” is still a very satisfactory one, so for him to be the only one to come back to play, hopefully so he can destroy it from within, is really the most interesting ending I could have imagined for him.

-I also really liked how they firmly established a narrative where some people come together through pure generosity (the group that the protagonist made) or through fear/intimidation (the group that Deok-su made). Every member from the first group comes to unite through little acts of kindness and then the protagonist just kept winning because they helped him out one way or another. He didn’t just won because he was the smartest, the most resilient or anything, but because he formed strong enough relationships with everyone to allow him keep advancing, showing another flaw of the game’s logic. See, because you are meant to work all on your own and be a lone wolf in wolf street and eliminate everyone that gets in your way, because that is supposed to be the only way you can “win”. But he doesn’t win like that, he literally just stumbled on with people he was nice to and then they were nice back to him until the end, where he kept betting on people being decent and end up winning the last bet.

-Of course, this winning doesn’tcover still for the great devide that exist between the protagonist and the men who put him through that hell. The comparison of the old man does between what a poor person with no money and a multimillionare have is fucking bullshit that rings hollow, because the poor person would have never have the power to do what they did to anyone and the things the poor person concern themselves with are note ven a thought for the powerful. But it makes sense that he thinks that way when he is literally an observer of the common people from a literal tower, safe by all the medical care that his money could get him. The biggest difference between him and the protagonist is that of looking at the value of human lives, and then their only point of connection is the love of games. The old man was looking at everyone losing their lives but he himself was never in any danger from it, so of course he got to just have a good time fooling everyone and playing around.

-Honestly, the more I think about it, fuck the old man, what a fucking dick.

-Until I see a dead body I won’t believe that the cop is dead, and I hope he isn’t because he and The Front Man have pending a long fucking conversation about what the fuck happened. It’s obvious that the Front Man has fully bought on the nonsense of the system, but the fact he still is pained for what he did to his brother could hint to him having a change of heart somehow that could be very interesting to see if well handled.

-The lady that was briefly with Deok-su was just mean. She and Deok-su made a good couple of two perfectly mesh dickheads, and I was actually kinda sad when they had to go but also thought it was the only appropiate ending for the both of them so, good job on that one.

-The way that the norkorean lady was finished was fucking bullshit though. Like, equal opportunities my cat, how the fuck is fair to make players play after recieving injuries from easily preventable hazzards made AFTER already beating a game? It would be like the doll detecting someone that someone still had a finger on the other side of the line and shooting it anyway even though the rest of the body was out. Like, they literally set that up in a way to hurt someone and they got what they wanted, but if different chunks of glass just perforated the skull of the three of them or something like that? Then there wouldn’t be any game for them to enjoy and no winner either.  All those richy rich richsons would have made their travel all the way there for fucking nothing. Yeah, it’s a very slim possibility but why even risk it like that so close to the finale? Narratively speaking I know why it happened, it makes sense because that allowed for the rest of the story to advance, but in-universe it really doesn’t and it was literally just to take her out of the way quick for the next plot point to take place. That was literally the only death that left me actually unsatisfied because it came out of nowhere, it wasn’t because of anything she did or could have prevented and it was so unceremonious. Like, you could have probably think some way for her to reach the same place without making so obvious you are pushing her there.

-She did looked very good on that suit, though. I wonder if the reason they gave her a suit and not a dress was because they never imagined that a woman could ever reach that far in the competition, because somehow I doubt they were specifically pushing for breaking gender norms. During a lot of the games everyone talks about how having women in your team is a disadvantage because strenght and “makes you look weak”, so I guess it makes sense that the people behind the game also had the same rationale and never even fucking bothered to get something new for her even when she turned out as a finalist. It would also explain why there is not a single employee on the entire island who is a woman, or at least none of the ones whose faces we actually get to see. Which I guess could work as another subtle evidence that despite all the posturing, there was never a “equal opportunity for all” sentiment behind any of it. The women were there literally assumed to be destined to fail from the very start. I hope that if that was the intention we get to explore a little bit of that on the next season.

-I have already seen some opinions about the show, so I might be alone on this one, but I appreciated the character of Sangwoo for what he was and how, despite all the bullshit he pulls, he is not all that evil like Deok-su and the mean lady. He genuelly helped Ali at the start without expecting anything in return because Ali helped the protagonist first, not even because he was the one getting the benefit himself, but he was also the man who turned himself into a criminal because he got greedy and wanted even more than the money he had. Like yeah, he was a selfish piece of shit, but he was allowed human moments and kept it interesting until the end. Also the actor was hot so that didn’t hurt.

-In conclusion: Ali was too good for this world.

If you enjoyed this sorta review, rambling or whatever this is about the show, and want to see more, consider supporting me through Ko-fi.

HERE'S WHAT I JUST REALIZED ABOUT FOUNDERS

But with other types of startups you may win less by features and more by deals and marketing. But I think that's too constraining. One of the most justifiable types of lying adults do to kids. Most of the work I've done in the last ten years didn't exist when I was 10. Something comes over most people when they start writing. Few dissertations are read with pleasure, especially by their authors.1 I don't run for several days, I feel ill.2 Informal language is the athletic clothing of ideas. This seems one of the reasons the early corporate raiders were so successful. And while there are many degrees of it.3 Opinions seem to be effectively infinite, at least for a small group, is the lows.

What surprised me the most is that everything was actually fairly predictable!4 Probably because small children are particularly horrified by it.5 If you're not allowed to implement new ideas, but also those ideas will increasingly be developed within startups rather than big companies.6 They expect to avoid that by raising more from investors. Most people like to be good at what you do. One reason people overreact to competitors is that they grow fast, and see if there's a super-pattern, a pattern to the patterns. Why? Your most basic advice to founders is just don't die, but the best founders are certainly capable of it.7 For Larry Page the most important things we've been working on standardizing are investment terms. Economic statistics are misleading because they ignore the value of community. But if you work hard and incrementally make it better, there is no limit to the number of startup people around you. Professors are especially interested in people who can help you.

Larry Page the most important. I mean has a different shape from kid curiosity. When you do, you've found an adult, whatever their age. So the best solution is to write your first draft the way you usually would, then afterward look at each sentence and ask Is this the way I'd say this if I found it at a garage sale, dirty and frameless, and with no idea at all. The good news is, plenty of successful startups talked less about choosing cofounders and more about how hard they worked to maintain their relationship.8 Not determined enough You need a lot of people, I like to work. What should you do?

Instead you'll be compelled to seek growth in other ways. He said it was that adults had to earn a living. If you want to be their research assistants so they can get into grad school, or to answer some question. He says the main reason is that the customer doesn't want what he thinks he wants.9 Founders who succeed quickly don't usually realize how lucky they were. Instead of trying to predict beforehand, so lots of people use. All investors, without exception, are more likely to make it. In a startup you can do. It's conventionally fixed at 21, but different people cross it at greatly varying ages.10 The first hint I had that teachers weren't omniscient came in sixth grade, after my father contradicted something I'd learned in school.

The whole field is uncomfortable in its own skin. The truth is common property. Be careful to copy what makes them congeal is experience. TV was still young in 1960; only 87% of households had it. This was, I thought; these impressive things seem easy to me; I must be pretty sharp. In your own projects you don't get taught much: you just work or don't work on whatever you want most of the time is work. These quotes about luck are not from founders whose startups failed. There have only been a handful of writers who can get away with zero self-discipline.11 If you're starting your own.12 One reason people overreact to competitors is that they drift just the right amount.

Notes

5 million cap, but Joshua Schachter tells me it was wiser for them, just as he or she would be rolling in their closets.

The state of technology, companies building lightweight clients have usually tried to explain that the feature was useless, but mediocre investors. Instead of earning the right mindset you will fail.

The founders want the valuation turns out to be so obsessed with being published.

Enterprise software—and to run spreadsheets on it, by decreasing the difference between good and bad measurers. The reason for the next investor.

Giant tax loopholes are definitely not a programmer would find it was putting local grocery stores out of them is that everyone gets really good at acting that way. That should probably pack investor meetings too closely, you'll have to assume it's bad to do some research online. In one way, be forthright with investors.

If you want to approach a specific firm, get rid of everyone else and put our worker on a hard technical problem. It will require more than investors. Some government agencies run venture funding groups, which is not a big effect on the side of the incompetence of newspapers is that we're not professional negotiators, and partly because they are in a world with antibiotics or air travel or an electric power grid than without, real income statistics calculated in the rest of the present, and for filters it's textual. They don't know yet what they're capable of.

Letter to Ottoline Morrell, December 1912. In many fields a year of focused work plus caring a lot is premature scaling—founders take a lesson from the example of a Linux box, a copy of K R, and cook on lowish heat for at least one of the biggest discoveries in any era if people can see how universally faces work by their prevalence in advertising. Geoff Ralston reports that in 1995, when Subject foo not to need common sense when intepreting it.

Kintsugi For a very longtime I have wanted to write and assimilate my experiences to a Japanese philosophy in ceramics and pottery that relates to how gold, silver and other precious metals can be used in the mending what we traditionally call broken ceramics or pottery. The point of interest to me was when artists intepret broken as subjective or as a means to achieve Kintsugi. My intepretation has therefore become one distant from the artistry but related to the nature of our perspective of broken. Christian mystics, some believed broken is, with regards to their practice a prequisite for initiation into higher levels of mysticism of course all this relation to ego. Kintsugi if intepreted correctly is, not brokeness but a prerequisite for art to take a form, new or secondary. My interest in the concept relates to what I will describe as rites of passage life imposes on us. A willingness to learn and accept our knowledge is not the ultimate, be willing to shape our perspective through new experiences, learn and observation. Kintsugi is not this learning but realizing our TRUTH independent from all the external forces. I have in times past wrote and lived the experiences around authentic living, but I cannot lie and say completely but at times lost my way because in modern times a lot of opinions seemingly convincing in myraid forms such as motivational speakers, internet quotes tend to tell us what our truth ought to be, feel like, look like. In such moments we disconnect from our truth and we strive, to live up to these supossed norms and we break from different perspectives. Kintsugi is unlearning other people’s truth and returning to that unwavering centre of our being independent of striving and all things of that nature. It may be part of your journey to strive but Kinstugi is realizing you’re complete and if you were pottery living within your truth is kintsugi. I will not by intellectual debate or argue this is easy in practice because it is not, It is the process of refining your living with “precious earth metals” to become or return to being that unfamiliar yet still sense of being that you do not strive with or against. Kinstugi is remembering your truth is your truth, yet the truth is absolute. Kinstugi is making your own foot prints on the sea side not walking in the ones you found there because they seem familiar. Kinstugi is therefore many things but by no means should it be confused with fingers pointing to the moon for the moon itself because it is not. Kintsugi is becoming the pottery and the potter... image by: Regiane Tossati

Lance’s Role - Link for Story & Art

Hey everyone, To start things off, I’d like to link my story here on Tumblr, along with a few paragraphs about it. As it stands you’ll be able to read all 52 chapters already available on Fanfic.net. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6740034/1/Lance-s-Role (beta-read by Jenny DeVic, writer of Love You Kill Me and More than Gold) (recommended by TV Tropes for Saint Seiya fanfic readers) As you’ll see from the description on the site, structurally the story is a sequel to the events of Saint Seiya Lost Canvas and Saint Seiya Next Dimension, assuming a welding between the two stories. The fic itself is a big Arc Welding project, where the events of the disparate stories of the Saint Seiya franchise are pretty much all considered canon, with the exception of G - Assassin (mostly due to how it involves time/dimensional travel, thus making it an arc welding impossibility). Thematically, it’s about Sanctuary, or rather the world that Kurumada imagined, and how the people who live in it and how it all reconciles with a more sober intepretation of the facts and events surrounding the characters. You could look at it as a mission to explore the world Kurumada created to its logical conclusions.  The adventures the main characters undergo are all attempts to reconcile their existences within the world where Cosmos exists, how it shapes their outlook on life and how it affects the choices they make. But when you get down to it, it’s also just a really fun adventure plot that I’ve always wanted to undergo. This is a project that has been a long time in the making. It’s actually the third edition of the story, believe or not. The first chapter of the first edition was done as early as December of 2010 and it’s been improving ever since under the helpful eye of Jenny DeVic. Currently its undergoing its second Arc, with eight more in the main plan and over a million words already finished for it. And the fic already has fantastic art commissions on it by the extremely talented Balasdan/Bluefeather from Deviant Art. The art you see on my dashboard was made by him and you can check it on his DA Account: (https://www.deviantart.com/baldwinsteiner) You can also more easily find the individual commissions he made for me by checking my Fanfic.net profile: https://www.fanfiction.net/u/2648393/Thrudgelmir2333 I would therefore really appreciate it for everyone to check it out, support it, review it, etc, as it’s an extremely demanding story and there’s so much hard work put into it and your feedback is the only reward I’ll ever get. I regularly post updates on my Twitter, adding up to 2-3 thousand words everytime I sit down to get work done on it, I’m still getting the hang of how to best use Tumblr for my objectives but I hope it will bring in attention to the project. Anyway, I’ll be seeing y’all. : )

finding a location

i was struggling for quite a while to associate my theme and inspiration of bacteria to a location. like with that list i posted at the beginning, i kept making associations to places starting with n, when that isn’t what the brief is asking. the breakdown we were given for week 4 asks some great question which have helped me generate some thoughts.

what are places, spaces, and locations?

this is a difficult question, as i would use one word to describe the others. spaces are areas that are open, both physically and to intepretation. spaces make up both places and locations, but places seem to be a general idea of a specific type of space, whereas locations are exact pinpointed spots you can navigate yourself to.

i’m thinking that if i really do want to encorporate bacteria into my final piece, it would be in the context of  a space, as mentioned previously, bacteria can be found everywhere, and it is the space it occupies that can be represented.  

what does ‘encounter in my everyday life’ mean?

to encounter is to come across something, or to approach. so to encounter everyday might be an item that you have in the regular path of your house, or something that’s part of your daily routine. i’m a person who can’t sit still for very long, so i’m always wandering around the place i’m in in, and sometimes that takes me outside too. there are buildings i see everyday and they’ve become familiar. it’s that casual knowledge that needs to be applied to the final piece, as other people might not experience that thing the same way. 

one thing i unfortunately encounter everyday is my flat kitchen.

i have a lot of anxiety about leaving with other people, especially in terms of making too much mess and them getting nnoyed with me. but they don’t really seem to care. it’s not terribly messy, but it’s definitely not what i’m used to, and is definitely a breeding ground for all kinds of different bacterial beings (especially the spilled milk going mouldy down the side of our fridge). i really actually like the colours in these photos, and using them in my piece could create a nice correlation to my context.

how do i make my letterform? 

like i said in my previous post, i think i’d like to create something physical and a bit more hands-on than digital processes for my final piece. i’ve really enjoyed getting back into papercutting again, and think it makes for really interesting shapes, and when layered really looks like bacterial growth. 

i definitely need to do more research into colour and how best to apply it. i’ve had inconsistencies before with shapes looking too floral or aquatic when in the wrong shade, especially with the colour green so this is something i will need to work on.

It’s always been present to me my whole life but I’ve been thinking about it a lot especially in like the last hour about how important storytelling (particularly in film) resiants so much signficance to me. I don’t know why I’m having such a moment right now after this film I watched (I’m probably not going to say what film) but something about it was something I identified with complete. Not the characters per-se but at least a teaching behind it.

I’ve always been obessed with cinema since I can really remember and since my parents can too. They always told me that I ran to watch movies with them. As a toddler, that’s when I really had something to focus on and a world for me to escape into. I think it’s a massive coping mechanism for a lot of my emotions. I didn’t think too much of it back then how much it stuck to me but I do now.

I finished class last July and ever since I’ve felt so lost in what to do with my life because I didn’t want to go into university (at least straight away.) My whole life, like most people are, have been pressured to go into certain career paths by parents or guardians tend to do to make sure you have a good life. My mother particularly always thought I’d go into the scientific field. I said I wanted to be an astroanught but that’s because of all the films certain in space were ones I enjoyed.

In primary school, I was such a quiet guy. I found it really hard to actively make friends or talk to other people. Tbh, it’s still something I kind of struggle with but I’ve gotten better. And part of that really is because of one of my drama teachers. I’ll never forget. I don’t remember everything she said to me but remember being asked to say back after class for a few minutes talk. At that point, I thought I was in trouble that I’d done something wrong but she said she saw talent in me and that if I applied myself, I could really be extrodinary. Until that point, I don’t think I saw myself as particularly talented at anything other than the amount of films I could watch back to back from each other. It clicked with me and from that day on, I’ve just come out of my shell more. I’ve tried harder. Maybe years of watching movies to escape was just a hint at some untamped potential. My friends started to notice a massive change in me. I was more open, my sense of humor started to shine and honestly, people started to take my more serious the more outspoken I got. 

It even seems ridiculous now, but I used to dread English class. I used to despise it for some reason. It wasn’t my teachers fault but I would so easily give up at the fact of one bad grade. I’d constantly compare myself to my fellow peers. I would get the lowest grade in the class. So from then on I really wouldn’t try. As much as I’d love the stories I was reading, I wouldn’t try even the slighest bit because I thought I would never improve. 

I think one thing that really sparked my love for actually writing was task I took in English at college. It’s funny really. I used to talk to my mum about how much I hated the subject so when I took English Literature in college as one of my options willing, she was so baffled and I laughed saying to her “You know i never really hated it? I hated that I never applied myself”. I joined a school where I literally knew one other person. It was totally out of my comfortable zone but my English teacher’s grew to love me. They told my parents how enthuastic I was every single lesson and my parents were like ‘How is this our son who used to tell us how much he hated the subject’. 

There was a creative writing task one day and were inspired to make mordern day intepretations of famous fairytales with a dark twist. Everyone did the go-to’s like Snow White, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland. And I remember being the only person to do Hansel and Gretel and my teacher loved it so he read it to the class. And at the point, I’d never had my writing read to anyone other myself, my sister or rarely my parents. 

I’ve been  roleplaying since I was 13 or 14? Tbh, I don’t even remember how it started since it seems so long ago and I’m literally turning 19 this year. I get to roleplay against so many talented individuals it constantly inspires to me do my best. 

I think the fairytale task I got also is kind of why I write in the OUAT fandom. And because I just so happened to started continuing watch the show again. I just am so greatful for films (well, and books and television) for being my outlet my whole life.

I just think it’s so weird thinking about where it all stems from. Like, it’s shaped my personality in a way. My sense of humor is so wide because of the comedy movies I grew up watching. Which is why I one day, want to act in a show/film/tv series and see something I write be produced into one of these. That’d just be the dream!

I don’t know who is reading this. Or if people even are, but I just want to say a massive MASSIVE THANK YOU to you all for being my sources of inspiration every time I log in. 

This has been a random Ted-Talk (by TJ/Theo. Also Teddy is one of my nicknames)

#i don't know why i posted this #i'm feeling so like blessed and joyous right now? #anyone watch sense 8? i'm lito where he's like: i'm feeling very whitney huston right now and crying #❝ᴍʏ ᴠᴏɪᴄᴇ ᴊᴜsᴛ sᴏᴀʀs!❞ ━OOC.

The Ring of the Legendary King Minos in the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion; Read its story.

The Ring of Minos is a gold seal ring, dated to be approximately 3500 years old (1500 – 1400 BCE)

source: Wikipedia cc

This ring is one of the most significant symbols of the Minoan Civilization.

After being found in the late 1920s, it remained lost for 73 years until it was given to the authorities in 2001 and in 2002, a Greek & international committee after careful examination, proved its authenticity.

The story described below is found at the blog of Mr Vasilakis who is a researcher of prehistoric writing  and a relative of the child who originally found the ring.

It was 1928, late October or early November, when a young boy named Michalis Papadakis (1918-1974) went to visit his father who was working in a wine yard at Gypsades, in order to bring him food.

His mother had told him after delivering the food to his father, to go and get the goat from another area from his sister’s field.

(Image by kairatos.gr - Vlychia Knossou. The arrow points to where the ring was found and the square to the point where a Minoan Tomb was excavated after a few years)

Indeed young Michalis went to the field (located south of the later-discovered grave-temple), when he saw something sparkling from the sun’s light. On a plant’s thorn, the boy found out something that eventually was a golden ring.

The story starts to get more interesting, because young Michalis on the way to show the ring to his mother met his mother’s friend “Theodora” and after showing her the ring, she thought it was appropriate to share this information with someone who worked at Knossos, who eventually told to Evans.

Evans and people sent by him would go to the house of Michalis to ask for the ring, but his parents for 2.5 years denied its existence.

This the reason Arthur Evans tried to retrieve more information by a priest who was also a friend of the family. The priest who used to visit the family often, managed to retrieve the info as to where the ring was buried and he asked the mother of Michalis to fetch it, which she did.

During a few minutes that he was left alone with the ring, the priest managed to take the print of it and did his best to persuade the family to sell it to Evans. Eventually he offered them a significant amount of money and took the ring. The ring had a mark by ‘tsaprazi’(a curved-blade knife with fine teeth), done by the father in order to be able to recognize it.

And the story of the ring continues, as the priest was asking astronomical amounts to sell the ring to Evans. However Evans did not buy it, but managed to make a ‘ring's shape’ and ordered Gillieron Fils to create a replica.

As per the blog of kairatos.com years later, the priest was arrested with the ring, and it was returned to Heraklion’s Museum. The Archaeologist N. Platon after making a replica of the ring (out of plaster), called the father of the young boy who found the ring, Emmanouil Papadakis who claimed that even though the priests’ ring appeared to be the same it did not have his mark. So the ring was returned to the priest as being considered not authentic.

G. Kazantzis. The person who found the ring and gave back to the state. - source kairatos.com

As Mr Vasilakis writes in his blog, at the moment 2 replicas are located in Oxford Ashmolean Museum and the authentic one is the one at the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion. One of them is a replica created by Gillieron Fils (ordered by Evans) and the other one was provided by Evans even though it is not quite clear how Arthur Evans managed to take the ring abroad. The Priest (prior to his death) had confessed to the mother of the child who found the ring that he had eventually sold it to Evans. Apparently he has created a replica which he sold to Evans, holding the authentic one for himself.

As per an article in kathimerini Mr Kazantzis, who was inherited a house by the priest, found the ring during the restoration of that house.

source

On Tuesday, July 23rd in 2002 a special ceremony took place with the former Minister of Culture for the ring to be attributed in Heraklion Archaeological Museum. It is now located in the first floor of the Heraklion Museum.

A committee of Greek and foreign experts  agreed upon the authenticity of the ring, after numerous tests conducted. This seal ring is considered one of the most expensive of its kind, due to its great historical value.

The ring is from pure gold (weigh: 29.4 gr)  and the representation is divided in two levels.

The lower level depicts the sea, being crossed by a boat. In the boat there is a woman's figure probably puddling. Around the sea we can note three shore parts. On the right side there is a tree, that a woman's figure is trying to pull down. On the middle we probably see an altar with a tree on it; that tree is again being pulled by a smaller figure. On the other side we see a figure sitting on a settlement. Between this figure and the centric figure there is a female small figure who seems to descend from the sky or to be in the sky.

According to Dr Minas Tsikritzis’ interview at the local channel Kriti TV, what we see in the ring in simple words are:

At the center there is a mountain, while there are two persons with a tree, one of them holding a vessel.

The characteristics of the people on the ring as so clear that most probably they used some sort of lenses in order to carve them.

The people going up to the mountain, are from the eastern side and mount Youchtas that is known as Zeus Mountain is only reachable from the east.

According to the paper in academia.edu by Mr Antonis Vasilakis it appears that on the left side it is about the worship of mother Dimitra with specific rituals, while there are offerings to the Big Mother Rhea and to Big Mother Artemis.

source: antiquatedantiquarian

The interpretation of Mr Vasilakis reveals that the ring depicts not only which rituals should take place, but describes the details of each worship and ritual.

The ring’s images depict a number of epiphany stages, meaning the coming of the Goddess in the real world.

There is a woman's figure at the left who is holding the tree. At the middle of the ring there is a figure also holding a tree. Dendrolatry,the worship of the trees,  is something usual in the Minoan Civilization. The Minoans used to believe that the trees were Gods and considered them to be the source of life.

It is not clear who used to wear this ring, but it was owned by a very powerful man. The ring is mostly known as 'King Minos Ring', but there is no evidence of this.

Minos, according to Greek Mythology, was the son of Zeus and Europa and presumably he was the first King of Crete. His name appears in Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey and according to Thucydides, Minos was the first man known to build a navy.

We will tell his story in a future post : )

The Main Principles Of Simultaneous Intepreter

On the downside, simultaneous analysis can be demanding for the interpreters due to the fact that they have to do their ideal in a very restricted time as well as they typically do not know the message up until they hear it (simply the topic). Also, simultaneous interpreters need to do their ideal to keep the tone as well as the option of words of the speaker, which includes much more tension.

Simultaneous Interperetation Things To Know Before You Get This

The speakers as well as the interpreters chat into microphones, and also the interpreters as well as the audiences utilize earphones. Whispered translating or chuchotage This is simultaneous analyzing without equipment. It works much like simultaneous interpretation with devices yet in this situation, no microphones or headphones are made use of. Synchronised interpreters sit alongside the people that do not recognize the .

Just how does synchronised interpretation with typical equipment look: The audio speaker talks into a microphone. His or her speech is broadcast to the interpreter that rests in a sound-proof interpreter booth and also listens via headphones. As the interpreter listens to the speech, he or she converts it in real-time into a microphone.

This modern technology uses invisible pulses of light to send the translation feed . Attendees receive the stream to their earphones through multi-channel receivers. This system is delicate to obstruction, so it should be put in front of the listeners (in a clear line of view). It also can not be covered with other objects like curtains or drapes to.

To increase the range, numerous infrared emitters need to be used. These systems make use of radio waves to transfer the speech (either original or translated) to the participants. Similar to infrared systems, FM systems are additionally attached to multi-channel receivers with earphones. FM systems are mobile - light and easy to carry about.

They're likewise not delicate to light, as well as work well outdoors. Their portability comes with a much more minimal range though (around 250 feet). If the venue of the occasion surpasses 1000 feet, longer range FM systems are required. But with world power likewise comes ... even more weight. These systems are still mobile, though it is extra tough to relocate them around contrasted to tool range FM systems.

Longer range FM systems are likewise more economical than medium variety for a larger audience. The most significant drawback is stability. Yes, longer variety FM analysis systems are still mobile yet they're not mobile. These transmitters are usually fixed, indicating audio speakers and also attendees can't relocate also much from them, or they will not listen to the speech.

Interpreters have to remain in the place as well as it tends to obtain fairly loud. Having in mind the tension the interpreters have to withstand throughout large seminars, it is really important to ensure they have a sound-proof working setting - that is, interpreter cubicles. Interpreter booths can be either permanent or mobile.

Things about Simultaneous Translation Services

As for the shape, interpreter booths come as tabletop booths and also as full-size interpreting cubicles. As the name recommends, the initial ones are positioned on the top of the table and are terrific since they're simple to deliver and establish. On the various other hand, they're open in the back, which indicates you can not totally ensure comfortable job problems for the interpreters due to the fact that these booths are not totally sound-proof.

This was really interesting to read. I can’t say I agree with some of Nasu’s interpretations (of Utena and Yurikuma; I haven’t watched Penguindrum) (and TBH a couple of them actively bothered me), but it’s always neat to me to hear/read about where people get their inspirations. I do think Nasu’s intepretation of Adolescence of Utena as sort of a post-TV series look at the students left behind is interesting (though, the movie still has Utena and Anthy, so I’m not sure how valid that interpretation actually is).

Also, thread (and apparently Archer in Fate/Stay Night was inspired by Vash the Stampede).

Argueta, J. (2016). Somos como las nubes. We are like the clouds. Toronto, ON: Groundwood Books.

Illustrated by Alfonso Ruano.

Translated by Elisa Amado.

Review # 9

Somos como las nubes (Argueta & Ruano, 2016) is a realistic fiction picturebook story for children and youth, told in verse. Collectively, the poems and accompanying artwork done in acrylic utilize both first and third person narratives and “describes the odyssey that thousands of boys, girls and young people from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico undertake when they flee their countries because of extreme poverty and fear of violence. They abandon everything in hope of a better life” according to author Jorge Argueta. Jorge Argueta is a “native Salvadoran and Pipil Nahua Indian” who “spent much of his life in rural El Salvador [and now] lives in San Francisco.” The poems and accompanying illustrations do not shy away from the real and realized fears and dangers experienced by young persons who migrate from Central America and Mexico to the United States of America with conversations of gangs, poverty, coyotes, migra, border-crossings, and homelessness. Through reading this text, “poetry demands a filling in of detail and mood on the part of the reader plus an understanding of the characters’ feelings and thoughts as well as intepretations of symbolic language and its implications” (Botelho & Rudman, 2009, p. 195). Argueta & Ruano juxtapose the dark - darkness both physical and spiritual with illuminations and use of brightness and color through their sharing of places rich in culture and lush landscapes adorned with beautiful flora and fauna and native animals and birds, and beautiful people and friendships. 

Argueta’s telling of the odyssey of young persons from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico is told from a Salvadoran perspective and utilizes his own language - Salvadoran Spanish, whilst providing translations for both other Spanish language speakers and English speakers. Argueta provides explanations of some of the translations, as some readers may not be familiar with that naming/calling of the particular item. For example, he uses the word “cuches” for pigs in one of the poems, but provides also “puercos and cerdos” in the footnotes - cognizant and respectful of the diversity of his Spanish-speaking audience; demonstrative of his diasporic view and approach to the (im)migration conversation. This is also demonstrative of his (re)claiming of identities of persons from various parts of Mexico and Central America, against a homogenized American narrative of the immigrants from those regions. 

How are they like the clouds? Is it that the clouds take on many different shapes and move - with help of the wind - across space, sometimes the skies are calm and other times not, sometimes there are many clouds together, other times there are just a few wispy ones, sometimes there is only one or none at all. The use of the metaphor, immigrants as clouds, speaks volumes. Clouds can float beyond borders and above walls. Clouds are needed because they bring rain that helps our plants and vegetation grow, supplying us with food. To see immigrants as clouds, is to see that there will always be migration and immigration; and that there is great value in that. We are Like the Clouds (Argueta & Ruano, 2016) invites readers to travel through space and time, like the clouds, and take in the many sights, sounds, smells, tastes that reminds and speaks of home. Why would a young person choose to leave their home and all that they knew and with which they were familiar?

Though this is a work of poetry, Argueta’s collection informs readers of many of the elements - natural and unnatural, human and inhumane - of the journey of young persons traveling from Central America and Mexico, evoking some of the many elements and senses involved. 

Nature - Flora, fauna, and birds

The reader’s journey begins in El Salvador with a young boy flying amongst the clouds looking at “the huge San Salvador volcano” in the distance. He flies amongst the cows, horses, pumpkins, and even elephants while he reminisces about home and childhood, thinking about “papusas, tamales, popcorn balls, cotton candy” and “cornfields in bloom, pumpkins and watermelons, parrots and kites, and the huge San Salvador volcano.” “Mi barrio” “My Neighborhood” opens up space for closer examination of what is home. What is home? Here Ruano provides fantastical or imagined recollections of home in the form of el gallo in a track suit, holding a mirror in one hand and a candy in the other. It reminds me of the Martina the Beautiful Cockroach: A Cuban Folktale (Deedy, 2007) and Don Gallo and his big beautiful shoes with sunglasses on his head. 

These fantasy elements easily coexist with real and natural elements like “The Azacuanes” - these are birds of prey which travel together, aves rapaces de El Salvador. “Twice a year, an estimated 10 million migratory raptors and other birds cross Guatemala heading South in mid-October, and North in March-April. This phenomena is known in Guatemala and Central America as Azacuanes” (www.arcasguatemala.org). “Flame tree” is another natural element that shares a space in this recollection of home with its beautiful red blooms. Though it is not centered, one cannot help but to notice its bright foliage existing in contrast to the pale ground and the pale colors of the buildings. Whilst admiring its beauty, you could almost miss the persons - their backs to us - walking away from all they know, towards the distance. 

La Campanera Neighborhood

The journey continues and again we see the fantastical mixed-in with the realistic in Ruano’s illustration of “the painted people” “their arms, faces, chests and backs are homes to tattoos like snakes” “A mí me da miedo que esas culebras me vayan a picar.” This neighborhood, “La Campanera” is not like the neighborhood readers were first introduced. La Campanera appears to be a scary place, inhabited by scary people who resemble cyclopses. When researching “La Campanera” in El Salvador, I learned that it is a densely populated place that is home to many gangs and gang-member initiated violence, soldiers, and abandoned homes. La Campanera is not considered a desired place to live. “El Palabrero” is the gang leader and the person who coordinates all of the criminal activities of the gang, 

“He is the boss. He is the one who tells the gang, Hit this one, hit that one. I don’t want to be this one or that one. Let’s go, I say to my father. Let’s go, I say to my mother. Let’s go as far away as we can, where those words can’t touch us.”

Given the fear of the possibility of violence, harm, and possible death at the hands of the gang members, it is no wonder that young people would want to go. Yet not all were able to afford the cost of going - at least by bus. The poem “iPod” is accompanied by an illustration of a young boy holding a dog, waving at a departing bus. “iPod left today for Guatemala” he has managed to sell his possession “you sold it to buy your bus ticket” and is hopeful “I will go to Mexico. And if I can to Arizona. And if I can to Washington where my mother is living.” It is not uncommon for members of a family to travel separately - it costs a lot of money to purchase a bus ticket. It is possible that iPod had to wait until his mother got settled in Washington before she could send him the iPod which would be his passage. Reading “iPod” left me curious about how much it would cost to travel from San Salvador to Guatemala (one-way). I am ever aware of my privilege - middle-class, American, with an income and education, who has travelled to and from many countries in my lifetime without ever having to really consider how was going to pay for my travel. At any rate, when I visited www.pullmantur.com and searched for the cost of travel - turista-class, the lowest available class - for a child aged 12 and under, one-way it was $27.00. This doesn’t seem like much, but when I think of a young person having to part with their dog and iPod to buy a bus ticket, the cost then seems so much higher than I could ever fathom.

There is a pause in the midst of the telling of this journey in the form of a two-page spread - again Ruano shows readers the backs of persons, several more than before, wearing backpacks, some in jeans and t-shirts, others with hats or ball caps, some carry water jugs, young and old, men, women, and children, some holding hands, others walking alone, all moving together. They walk along a narrowing pathway with the dense forestation serving as the backdrop. 

“Las Chinamas” is the border between El Salvador and Guatemala. 

It seems so unnatural to have la frontera/the border here. Ruano’s depiction of Las Chinamas shows people moving from a more lush and green space to a space of almost barrenness and different colors. In reality, the border is a socially constructed one represented by the bridge that sits above the Rio Paz/Paz river, on both sides the lush vegetation, the same trees and birds. “When we crossed the border at Las Chinamas, I saw the river Paz. Its water runs smiling between the rocks. Here the cenzontles never stop singing.”

Bestia - The Beast

Argueta shares about the Beast - “the name for the trains the migrants travel on” in his poem “My Father Tells Me.” Similar to the train traveled on by the protagonists in Two White Rabbits (Buitrago & Yockteng, 2015), the Beast has been come to be known as such because of the dangers of traveling in such a manner. These are not passenger trains. They are cargo trains that travel taking merchandise to the North. Migrants gather at outposts to catch the train. They then travel precariously on the tops and sides of any Bestia, hopeful to not get severely injured, maimed, or worse killed.

Unaccompanied young children making the journey North, travel with dreams of being reunited with loved ones, family members who have traveled ahead of them. Many rely on the help of “the coyote [who] tells us we are almost there.” The coyote is shown sitting with his arms crossed looking over the younger migrants as they sleep in the night. The coyote is not the only person who migrants look to for safe passage to the North. “Santo Toribio, saint of the immigrants, show us the way.” Santo Toribio is a Roman Catholic saint who is believed to be the “good coyote” who will “protect us, lead us. Deliver us from all evil. Amen.” https://www.facebook.com/univisionnoticias/videos/10156716466589796/ 

Santo Toribio protects our young protagonist and unaccompanied minor all the way across the border into the United States - Los Angeles, the city of angels, “The angels are not in the sky. They are behind the hills, beyond the desert.” Hopefully the angels will watch over him as he navigates the space that he has dreamed of occupying. 

The Paleta Seller

With “Paletas” - fruit popsicles - especially paletas de coco from “Mi Barrio,” Argueta evokes those good feelings of home. The colorful buildings are replaced with the colorful balloons, the flaming tree is seen in the mother wearing a brightly colored shirt. Señor Celsio “pushes his cloud-like cart through the streets of Los Angeles.” It is as though all of the sounds, sights, smells, and tastes have traveled all this way...still traveling aboard this cart now. The story, como las nubes, never stops...it keeps moving, traveling. 

My favorite paleta is the paleta de coco. When I lived in Austin, TX, home to many (im)migrants - documented and undocumented, some in constant movement fearing the migra could come and get them at anytime, I remember el vendedor de paletas selling paletas from his cart outside the school at which I worked. It is quite a contrast of bitter and sweet - the fear of deportation, living homeless and the paleta - a sweet treat that possesses the ability to transport you back home through an explosion of coconut...if only for a moment.
