Midnight Pals: Muse

Anna Helen Crofts: submitted for the approval of the midnight society, this is a little story that me and howard wrote together Barker: you and howard? how'd that happen? HP Lovecraft: oh we've been looking for a project to do together for a while

Edward Lee: bro you hanging with anna helen crofts now? Lovecraft: yeah Lee: bro Lee: sonia greene, winifred jackson, hazel heald Lee: how are you pulling all this quality tail? Lovecraft: i don't know, i'm just being myself Lee: Lee: bro that doesn't make any sense

Crofts: ok so this story is about a woman who reads a poetry book Crofts: and she has a dream that the gods themselves appear to her Crofts: and they're all 'babe, we got some great news for you' Crofts: you're so hot that you're gonna fuck some inspiration into the world's greatest poet

Crofts: the gods are all 'check it out' Crofts: 'you know Dante Alighieri? William Shakespeare? John Milton?' Crofts: 'morons!' Crofts: 'the guy you're gonna fuck is SO much better'

Angela Carter: a woman's just there to be a muse for a great man, huh? Carter: why can't a woman be a poet herself, I ask you? Crofts: no angela you don't understand Crofts: this chick is SO hot Carter: that doesn't figure into it Patricia Highsmith: naw i think it does

Crofts: me and howard wrote this story together Barker: oh did you now? Poe: clive Barker: i can tell, cuz it's definitely got all the usual hallmarks of a howard story Poe: clive Barker: i bet howard really contributed a lot Poe: clive

Crofts: wouldn't that be great to be a muse Crofts: a poet looks at you, he's all 'this chick is SO hot' Crofts: 'i can't NOT write the world's greatest poem' Crofts: if you think about it, howard Crofts: that's kinda like you and me, don't you think? Lovecraft: yeah i guess

Crofts: something wrong, howard? Lovecraft: no Lovecraft: no it's nothing Lovecraft: its just Lovecraft: that isn't really the direction i thought our collaboration would take Crofts: what's wrong with it? Lovecraft: it's just kinda mushy

Crofts: ok howard well next time we'll write what you want to write Crofts: in fact, here Crofts: why don't you use my beauty as inspiration Crofts: i'll be your muse Barker: ah ha ha Barker: oh honey Barker: oh sweetie Barker: have you read any of howard's stories?

Crofts: write me, howard, write me like one of your squid girls Lovecraft: [sweats] ok um so Lovecraft: [sweats] so in this story there's this girl, ok Crofts: what's she like Lovecraft: indescribable Crofts: Barker: ah aha ha Barker: nice save

Title: Poetry and the Gods (1920) Author: H. P. Lovecraft, Anna Helen Crofts Vote: 5/10 Too poetic a story for my tastes. A bit 'boring. The theme of the dream as a way to escape from the world reappears in the story but in this case it is a way to return to reality as the gods use it to communicate with mortals as Cthulhu does in other Lovecraft stories.

From Poetry from the Gods by H. P Lovecraft and Anna Helen Crofts

Moon over Japan, White butterfly moon! Where the heavy-lidded Buddhas dream To the sound of the cuckoo’s call. . . . The white wings of moon-butterflies Flicker down the streets of the city, Blushing into silence the useless wicks of round lanterns in the hands of girls. Moon over the tropics, A white-curved bud Opening its petals slowly in the warmth of heaven. . . . The air is full of odours And languorous warm sounds. . . . A flute drones its insect music to the night Below the curving moon-petal of the heavens. Moon over China, Weary moon on the river of the sky, The stir of light in the willows is like the flashing of a thousand silver minnows Through dark shoals; The tiles on graves and rotting temples flash like ripples, The sky is flecked with clouds like the scales of a dragon.

Or historical female figures to look up to such as Elizabeth the 1st, Joan Of Arc, Queen Cordelia, Queen Gwendolen, Ethelfreda, Boudicca, Florence Nightingale, Amelia Earhart, Marie Curie, Catherine The Great and Audrey Hepburn. You play as a female Avatar in Cooking Mama and all of the Imagine series, The Jurassic Park dinosaurs were all female, Minecraft allows female appearance through customized character skins EVEN BARBIE! THERE! I SAID IT!

But besides that entire fucking catalog, I find myself and the rest of the female population well under-represented.....Except of course for the huge fucking roster of female characters available.

#female characters #tv #film #video games #i haven't named a chunk of the female characters available in Star Wars Lore #the frigging female portraits in Harry Potter have stories behind them #Please tell me who i've missed out #feminism #when feminists whine #female representation #mic drop

[adland]

They had me already at the start of the office scene. It doesn't hurt that I like the song as well, but this whole grungy "video" look to the music video, with a grainy drab office somewhere, and a man banging his head against the desk repeatedly, yep, I'm hooked. At 2:42 there's a nice screaming release as our headbanging office grunt hero rages into the void and the strobe light cuts are edited together to make it even more manic. This is gritty, grimey, desperate, and so very old school punk somehow.  Directors 32 directing team Will & Dylan created this music video with the much buzzed about band Idles.

Keepy Uppy - Full Film from Seed Animation Studio on Vimeo.

It’s FIFA World Cup Final Week!

A few weeks ago, we thought it would be pretty nifty to play a game of animated ‘Keepy Uppy’. A game that’s inclusive to all creative animators.

Each artist was given a few seconds to pass the ball onto the next artist. The brief was wide open to interpretation by the artist; whatever keeps the ball up - the ball itself and the environment was all up for grabs. The only stipulation was the ball entered left, and exited right.

Individual entries are posted on instagram.com/keepy_uppy when received. The entries were then edited together to create a film, representing diverse styles and perspectives from around the world. Although the film is released now, Keepy Uppy still accepts submissions.

Thanks to We Are Father for the music and all of these guys for being so inspiring....
