“You’re such a pretty man,” Makino sighed, touching her fingertips to his cheek, before rubbing his beard with her thumb. “Your wife is very lucky. Oh—hey.” Her whole expression brightened, her smile entirely cheeky. “That’s me.”

Shanks grinned, delighted. “You are absolutely hammered, aren’t you?”

“Hmm, I think I’m about to be.” She frowned. “Wait—was that not a euphemism?”

My masked Zorro, the unbelievably generous and tantalisingly mysterious Cover Anon, sweeps in once more with another gorgeous cover from Shanties, this time for Penelope (aka, the wedding fic, my beloved), by the incredible @sacred_pirate on twitter.

I...don't know how it's possible to capture the way a fic exists in my mind so perfectly it's like the artist reached into my soul, and yet that's what this feels like. This is one of the most beautiful artworks I've ever seen, and I can't believe it's from my fic, and this fic.

#I.........am actually at a loss for words #I've just been staring at this all day #sacred_pirate if you see this: your style is everything and this cover is so atmospheric you've sucked me right into this moment!!#the lighting and the composition and the sheer SOFTNESS of this cover??#and the DETAILS #the DRESS and the FLOWERS IN HER HAIR #the wedding rings!! Luffy's wanted poster!!#and t h e m #they're *perfect*#Makino is so beautiful I want to cry #absolutely breathtaking #and SHANKS #THAT LOOK #THIS IS THE LOOK THAT'S IN MY MIND WHEN I WRITE THEM #I AM!!! FEELING A NORMAL AMOUNT ABOUT THIS #I'm lying I am absolutely losing it #the warmth and the tender goofiness in this is exactly how I imagine them and I cannot overstate how much I love this #Cover Anon: I owe you my life #I don't know how to thank you enough #I just hope you know how much this means to me #that someone loves these stories so much they'd do this...I am humbled beyond words<3 #Shanks x Makino #otp: sing me sea shanties #Shanties for the Weary Voyager #opfanfic #Shanties art

#my godddd 😮‍💨❤️‍🩹#life is so beautiful you guysss #bless Sufjan's fucking precious mind😮‍💨🩷!!#everything written‚ produced and recorded by him + all the artwork and essays also by him!! he's everything!! ❤️‍🩹#the entire album sounds both familiar and new (like Goodbye Evergreen is literally how The Age of Adz goes from Futile Devices to Too Much!#sounds very atmospheric and melancholic and bittersweet but also dreamy and euphoric. and very gentle #and there's a sense of urgency and helplessness but the album ends in a very hopeful note which is so beautiful!!#lyrically is so impressive and breathtaking. man the way he feels everything so deeply 🫨❤️‍🩹#stunning compositions + so much heartbreak and existential despair and unsettling imagery and self-sacrifice #and distress and personal atonement and resignation and so much HOPE and LIFE and LIGHT #and also religious devotion (shocker i know lol)#and the Neil Young cover (shoot me!) is better than the original lol it's just so sweet and hopeful 💐#i really loved it so much!!#sufjan stevens #javelin

i will defend the original mewtwo movie with my life honestly. its not even my favorite, not by a longshot, but people are so mean about it under the excuse of “the only people who like it as nostalgia blind”

“ha ha ash dies but comes back through tears thats so illogical and stupid” where is your whimsy :(

#its a really pretty movie also no one gives it credit for looking nice #to the point people were raving abt how beautiful the remake was compared to the original #bro i have seen the remake it looks like SHIT!!!!!!!#like im watching rn and comparing it to the remake and its no contest the remake looks like garbage #the lighting the rendering the framing the composition its awful #the original’s hamminess was awesome actually #echoed voice #also a lot of the issues are dub induced the sub is a lot more interesting #apart from a few lines and music tracks that are better in the dub

This is a combination of photo compositing, lightroom, photoshop/fresco, and some ai. I've been spending about 4 hrs per day drawing in photoshop & fresco. Little by little it's getting better. (I've not been sleeping much though.) t. hall

video games are one of the greatest forms of art actually

#it depends on the game but generally speaking they are an amalgam of multiple artforms #feeling immersed in a game and thinking about the hundreds of hours of work the artists put into its design #from sculpting the models to painting the backgrounds and textures. the writers creating a beautiful narrative that can be interracted #with. animators externalising their internal understanding of how an object is supposed to move and interact with the world around it #through years and years of training and practice. the composer and the symphony putting their souls into the music...#and there so so so much more too . UX UI designers programmers audio engineers making sure each rumble shakes you to the core #lighting artists ?? technical artists ? people who designed the game engine in the first place ????#like theres just so much that could into creating a game and it warms my heart w so much joy ! it is such a beautiful form of art !!#i wish people appreciated that more!!! i wish playing a game seemed to people as a similar activity to #taking notes on the composition of a beautiful painting. idk . i am amazed always by it

#idk how to put this without sounding like an asshole #but #I'm thinking a lot about how I know several people irl who seem to believe that because they have a good camera they take good photos #they will tell me 'my camera takes 10mb photos so they're very good'#all this tells me is that your photos are big #it says nothing about the quality. the composition. the lighting. the *feeling*. the eye for your art.#and I just think a lot of people confuse good equipment with skill #like sure good equipment might help #but if you don't have the skills or the eye for beauty and art your photos will not be good regardless of what you use #idk these people just bug me #(my brother is one of these people #he got an expensive camera and went to an expensive training to learn technical skills #and then got upset because his pictures still didn't turn out great #and like #bro. it's because you don't care about art. you never set foot inside a museum. you never go for walks in nature (or anywhere).#all your screensavers are the standard pictures #you like pictures taken by drones *because* they're taken by drones #not because the subject is cool #and that is why your photos don't look amazing)

my very long winded thoughts on episode two of chucky season 2

summary: better than the first episode but still leaves me cold when comparing it to season 1. funnier moments interesting developments and new characters dont fully compensate for the weird pacing and things being mostly setup.

the biggest issue for me so far is definitely that the first season was such a solid 8, and this one is kind of like a weak 6

i thought we would have more of the new characters, at least to establish them better and have a feel of their personalities. but sister ruth (freddie lounds!!!!!!!) made me miss ms fairchild big time, and the detective looking for nica and his interactions with tiffany made me somehow miss gladys from season 1 (the funny "high as a kite" lady, the woman who chucky gave the razor apple to on halloween night and who later was the realtor who sold tiffany the old ray house). i think even the tied-up guy back at the hotel had more of an attitude than these new faces. i dunno if thats a casting thing or a writing thing tbh. the previous episode had ended with an interesting note regarding that boy trevor, but he was absolutely nothing in his only scene here. lexy keeps saying hes evil hes awful but we dont get anything specific (”life a living hell” this and that, i need details), so it feels even more like just talking and no real outcome

nadine is a sweetheart though. i really like her and how she is so drastically different to the other three main kids, even though putting a kid in a catholic boarding school for kleptomania (what a letdown of a backstory tbh) when theres others who were sent there for blowing up a kid with a homemade bomb feels.... a bit weird. but whatever, what do i know. i just hope she gets something to do besides hang around the main three, bc otherwise the feeling that she will only be around to be killed by chucky for some quick emotional impact is not going to go away.

i!! actually loved!!!! that one scene in class with the teacher talking about hieronymus bosch, along with that projection it gave me big hannibal in florence vibes and i loved seeing jake talking about art, even if it was just a quick thing. im really curious about the religious aspect of the season, beyond the aesthetics, which so far seem to be the only way it really impacts the story. i think it was a missed opportunity to not make any of the three kids catholic/religious, especially either jake or devon (not even super religious, just a mention of being baptized or having been raised in a christian household), since that would intersect very well with issues of guilt which feels like its going to be a running theme for jake in particular. having him feel guilty for everything that happened so far (which makes perfect sense and his two little breakdowns were very well done i think) and not really have anything to do with the religious environment feels like such a waste.... especially with how interesting it could be to acknowledge fully how devon sawa is once again portraying a sort of paternal authority figure, continuing with his authority role as logan and lucas. maybe its just too subtle for my thick skull, maybe its something they will build towards as the season goes on, who knows

i really really really hope devon gets more to do in the rest of the season. jake has his guilt, lexy has her drug addiction, and devon... he feels so lightweight compared to the other two. i love him so much, hes a sweetheart (and i think he would accomplish what i think?? nadines role is meant to fulfill) but having him just be the emotional rock for jake in this season is not enough, nor is it to keep the previous seasons tug of war with jake regarding their relationship and whether theyre good for one another. i was all episode hoping hed come up with some interesting info on the school and with charles lee rays childhood in it or something..... devon is a smart one, he made the important research and came up with the trap in season 1, and i wish the series remembered that, like it remembered that jake is an artist at heart

really dumb thought but im kinda glad that in the scene with nica and chucky talking inside her head we didnt get like a gollum/smeagol, david-hasselhoff-as-jekyll-and-hyde-the-musical thing (not that fiona dourif wouldnt be able to pull it off); i liked that it showed them as two separate entities even in her own body. probably not the intention but i always like to see nica in some way in control of herself and it makes absolute sense that in that discussion with him she would conceptualize him as a being apart from her. i do think we will eventually get a pretty hammy “shifting” scene and it will be probably a little bit cringe even if its fiona’s wonderful acting

i liked seeing nica trying to manipulate tiffany to leave her alone with her chiding her for wasting money, it was believable but also just clumsy enough of an effort to show shes really getting desperate and that tiffany is still smart enough to realize when shes trying to get her to do something. tiffany as a whole has been feeling just a little too.... dumb? in some way? especially with how little care she put into even properly lying to that detective. like i know its meant to be funny.... but i dont want the comedy to come from tiffany being clueless or dumb. shes ditzy and a bit naive but never dumb

and also i really didnt like the opening credits with the portraits. what the heck was that. i know its a detail and im petty but that was so lazy why didnt we get like crucifixes or sth else, even if it didn’t fit super well it made more sense than those silly production images of the doll and of fiona floating around...........

most of all i feel like stuff IS happening in each episode (here theres the interesting thing with the doll doing recon and taking those pictures?? for some reason???? and now chucky and nica working together to break free and get revenge) but its nowhere as tightly structured and well built up to as in the first season. im thinking of how every scene added a little more to the characters and the environment and the dynamics and how it juggled a whole bunch of plotlines masterfully, while here i think we might have. three. if we count devon and jake, and lexy and nadine as separates. and theres still this feeling of waiting for something else to happen, of building up to something, instead of a constant succession of impactful events. i hoped first episode was all setup even if it wasnt super well conveyed, and this episode too felt most of all like catching up and setting up possible threads. it got better after the halfway point but it still feels like a slow climb. thinking it will eventually get better isnt much of a comfort to me when i can easily remember how much better season one was

#. 🦴#somehow what bothers me most is that if glen n glenda are going to have an interesting arc i feel like #they deserve a much stronger narrative around them. and this aint it chief at least not for me #chucky series #also! i miss the split diopter shots :(#this episode made really nice use of the beautiful school building especially with that effect of light through the windows #i feel like it might be a reference to the lighting in that warehouse where tiff first appeared in bride?#but it also made those shots sort of dark in a very striking way #apart from that there hasnt been many really memorable images in these two episodes. i felt like there were too many overhead shots #for no particular reason. and its a shame bc this show used to have some really good composition #oh also the kills were like. meh. i know last episode a kid literally exploded but cmon

Discovering Beauty in Simplicity: How I Used a Basic Lighting Setup to Create Stunning Portraits

As a portrait photographer, I believe that capturing the personality of your subject is just as important as getting the lighting and composition right. That’s why, in a recent photoshoot with my friend Lian, a talented dancer and choreographer in New York, I set out to do just that. I had just purchased a set of Speedotron strobes, but unfortunately, my lighting modifiers had not yet arrived in…
