Hi! Idk if the kwamies are just for fun or what, but I got the curage (and maybe it's fun) to list what my ideas (for my head"cannon" Miraculouses 😁)

Zebra - equalization, can turn things into their opposite

Llama - commitment, can shoot energy-spit and link the user to the target

Snail - syncronization, the user can sync with targets and control their moves, eithet making them mimic his movements or moving them like a hivemind, working to achive a goal. It also works backword, so othets can control the user's movements (this way it can learn techniques the other can do)

Hedgehog - so far, having pocket dimension to hide or trap othets, maybe change it later...

Pidgeon - generalization. The owner can make itself "unrecogniseable", meaning despite being a person in pidgeon costume, you can't recognise it, simply blends in (you only can spot them if you looking for something very-very specific about them)

Antelope - intention. If the user touches you with it's two horned stick you start to do whatever idea you currently head, even if it's crazy or unlikely to have any succes, the target starts it enthusiasticly

Rhino - potential. The user can "suck" the potential energy from things, making them living "object-magnet" atracting everything, even if it means an unpleasant crush... The user also can charge object with it, making them fly

Firefly - transition. Can become living energy, moving thing and even empovering machines. Literal force

Kangaroo - swich. Can swiching placement of object with limited range

Has no red panda (yet!)😅

Capybara - relaxation. The user simply can others feel good, whatever happening to them

Rattlesnake - avareness. Having bracelet with a campus like rattle-pointer which shows where a previously marked object is

Giraffe - exhaltion (stolen, since they modified the tiger to elation😁) choosing any ability, the user becomes the bes-best in it (like being humanly in the Guinise record book for it, and turn it up by Miraculous -holder standards)

Hippo - overprotection/motherly care (something along those line) can create a bubble where the target just sleeps and floats. This bubble saves the target very well, but not all-proof

Sloth - procrestination. Every time the target would like to do something, manipulates fate to do something (like, insted of taking Miraculous away, goes on for personal revenge (also gains litteral weight to arms and legs)

No racoon or beaver yet

Donkey - humblenes. With a whip, can make the target obey instractions of thr user and behave foolish

Coala - influence. Gives power to do whatever you wish, but limited very much how much support and love does the holder has from the sorrunding peaple...

I hope you like them or find some of them funny, there are many more, some of these even have "pairs" (won't grant wish, but opposite concepts, like LB and CN's), but I like these, hope you to, but I gladly reading your feedback on these as well 😁.

Have a nice day!🙂

They are just for fun but I don't think I would mind adding them if I got an idea for the miraculous and a weapon.

I already have a power for the zebra, anyone who sees them would get vertigo.

Ooh, so like a tracker I like that. They would spit on them and the spit would always be visible to the user. It could wear off over time, I really like this power.

That's really interesting, kinda reminds me of Martyr (black cat) and Mimic (wolf).

That sounds pretty similar to the ferret.

Oh, that's cool. Another I thought of was that they can spy with their feathers xd. But I think I like this one better.

So kinda giving them enough confidence to do that? That's cool, my thoughts were super speed but I like this one.

The salamander already has that power (Tag).

Oh, that's interesting. Kinda seems like an extension of the white lion.

That seems very similar to the panda.

I also haven't thought of one for the red panda 😔.

I see where you're coming from and it fits the capybara, but I already have that power (dove).

That seems similar to the llama.

That seems like the rooster but harder to explain to me. I know that I would have issues with that.

I like that! It's like a combination of betta fish and sheep. I like it.

Hmmm, interesting.

My original thought for the racoon was that they can steal powers, like the butterfly now. But that was when the layers didn't exist. For the beaver, I like the power that @randypelow suggested, the holder pulls objects to make a dome (like a knock-off Shellter).

The donkey was one of the oldest kwamis I had, he was made with Inn and I¨m pretty sure he was the only one who had a power from the set xd. The concept was Adaptation (or versatility at first) and the holder could change the suits to fit the situation, basically like the power-ups. But then I gave that power to the octopus and then I removed it xd. What you suggested seems kinda tricky to me I would have to think about it more.

So like the canon eagle or just a big amount of confidence?

I like a lot of these! You always have so many interesting ideas!

I admire people who can 'sit' and watch their negative thoughts 'pass by like cars in traffic' but for me it's a lot more empovering and effective to just go "cut out that crap" @ myself. It gives me back agency and I need that, especially when I'm feeling like this.

ok no one is talking about this apparently and i have wORds concerning owari no seraph and mika's treatment in it hello

basically im just so tired for him not having any say about his life and I DO realise that's the same for other characters as well, mainly for the zero braincell squad but listen it's different. I'd say for what we know now, arguably yuu, mika, and shinoa are still currently having problems with self autonomy while the rest had shitty childhood and thatse it.

The thing is, and im not going much into shinoa's business now, but ultimately she and yuu have took a dive into their powers voluntarily to get empovered. It's very likely they did not have a choise in that any more than mika, but at least as a characters they wanted that, or saw a reason in that and chose to dig deeper, for whatever reason. Yuu didn't necessarily _want_ to become deviantart oc from 2012, but he strived for it out of desperation to keep people safe, and accepted it.

That's no true with mika. He's been striped from safety, humanity, and now from personhood and none of those changes has been because he's wanted that, or felt like he needed that to either survive or help others. Even the most shaky example of these (he turning into full vampire), was essentially the outcome of yuu being there and practically bullying him to keep on living (which in itself is not a bad goal and also the scene was really good). From the start he's accepted death and the way the writing goes in that blasted shit of a plot, he just keeps on losing more of himself each time that's been denied from him.

Can we not stuff him into sword thanks I hate it here.

#ons #owari no seraph #im not even gonna go into how plot now seems to suggest that mika we know wasn't even real bc fuck that #i dont give a shit #grand cabbage alien can go kick his own ass i will ignore reincarnation #omat paskat #im just so disappointed and mad but mostly just sad #let him have one nice thing!!! ah no let's just destroy him more lol #fuck you #middle finger

/making the same claims without following through/ Can you ask this wonderful butthurt anon to clarify what claims did Tessa make without following through? Did she promise to solve every problem women of the world face? Her claims are - empovering and inspiring young girls to be active in sports and not limit themselves in what they dream/want to achieve. And she's following through on those claims in a way she feels is suitable which is well within her right.

Analysis of Tracey Emin’s I used to have such a good imagination

This is a work by Tracey Emin, who is a british contemporary artist. She is one of the major female contemporary artist in Britain and gained notoriety during the late 90’s, because of scandals around her behavior and work. She is famous for her installations, especially Everyone I Have Ever Slept With (1963-1995) or My Bed. However, I am going to study a drawing, as I really liked her drawings and this technique in general.

I chose to work on this artist for two main reasons. The first one is that I recall going to an exhibition of her works in London when I was a teenager, and it deeply affected me, especially the drawings coupled with the paintings and neon works. Second one is that my master thesis is about Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton, artists that have been labeled as « confessional », just like Emin. I am then interested in the representation of the self in art, and about women artists, and I thought that working on Emin could be connected to my research. The drawing is quite minimalistic at first sight : we can see the figure of a woman, laying legs open on a couch, a gun suspended above it, and the title of the drawing handwritten at the bottom of the monoprint, I used to have such a good imagination. My main question about this work, leading my commentary, will be : To what extent is Emin deconstructing various aesthetic canons in order to give a striking and questioning self-representation ? I will first put an emphasis on the expressionist features and justify this filiation, to then study the representation of the naked body and sexuality, and how it is very innovative, to finally question the representation of the self as a woman, linking women, art and politics.

To start this close-reading, it is important to dwell on the « expressionist » term that appears in my introduction. I would first justify it by a biographical fact of Emin’s life : she tells, in an article by The Guardian1, that Schiele has been a major influence. Her drawings are highly inspired by the works of the expressionist master, who painted during the early 20th century in Vienna. An exhibition at the Leopold Museum in 2015 made the two artists encounter with a large collection of works by both of them, put in parallel during the exhibition. Then, after noticing this filiation, we can go back to the work and see in this drawing the strong influence of Schiele : the line is flickering, sometimes stops and begins again with no realistic reason, the character is expressionless and her members and body are not articulated nor complete. One can be reminded of Schiele’s sketch of Lovemaking which shows two characters with the same emotionless face and dislocated bodies. The way of drawing and representing characters then carries this expressionist heritage. But what is interesting in this work is the deconstruction of expressionism to create a break within tradition. Indeed, as we can see in Schiele’s paintings, expressionism relies on the multiplication and confusion of elements, which is not the case here, as the drawing is quite plain and can be cut in three elements that are not mingled nor confusing : the woman on the couch, the gun, the handwritten title. Moreover, it is simply a drawing and not a painting. Then, the stake of this artwork was to be a strong, expressive image without using a lot of elements and staying minimalistic. Then, we can see that Emin deconstructs some aspects of expressionism, to recreate a new form of expressionism, as the empty space in the drawing becomes evocative. Indeed, the absence of other elements puts an emphasis on the statement of the artist : I used to have such a good imagination. This handwritten text coupled with emptiness can immediately remind, to the viewer’s eyes, the artist’s angst at not to being able to produce anything. Emptiness reminds loneliness, and contrary to Schiele’s Lovemaking, the character is alone. Then the absence of expressionist abundance is here to concentrate the expressivity of the drawing into the obvious emptiness of the artwork. Moreover, emptiness is used to create point of focalisation for the viewer. In contrast to it, we can observe two black stains that corresponds to the main issues of the artwork : the woman’s hand and genitals, the back of the gun. Then, with these parts emphasised, the work takes a strong symbolic dimension, at many levels. We have our attention drawn onto the gun. As a viewer, we can wonder why is there a gun suspended here, in the mdidle of nowhere ? One could argue that the gun is a reference to Chekhov’s gun, a dramatic principle. This principle is that every object or element present on stage will be, at some point, used during the action. Then, Emin uses this dramatisation in her artwork to suggest that the gun is here to be used. Thus, suicide is implicitely mentioned, as the only character here is the woman. The other point of focalisation is the woman’s genitals, which clearly embodies sexuality. These two black stains are then the classic symbol of Eros and Thanatos, a recurring theme in painting and expressionism, here deconstructed and recreated by Emin.

I would like now to insist on the representation of the female body and sexuality, as it is a key element in the understanding of this work. The body is a woman’s one: we can deduce it as the sketch vaguely shows breasts, and what might be long hair, but also because the artist is often depicting herself in her work. First, it is important to talk about the representation of the nude, and how Emin deconstructs the code of the nude present in Western Europe. The nude (especially women’s one) is a tradition in painting, where the woman is very often eroticised. We can for example think about the canonical figure of sleeping Venus, which has many representations, often showing the beautiful naked woman laying passively in a voluptuous way. Emin contradicts all of these codes with her nude : the woman is not meant to be beautiful, her body is not harmonious nor eroticised, the breasts are approximatively drawn and the rest of it is made of one trembling, tortuous line. Moreover, she is the opposite of a passive woman, as her arm suggests that she is probably masturbating. What is the most interesting is this tension between a non-erotisation of the woman’s body and at the same time a real sexualisation as she is performing a sexual act by herself. Once again, Emin deconstructs the codes from previous art to subvert them in a provocative, witty way. The issue of masturbation in the drawing is an important one. First, it has an empovering subtext, as it shows the woman having sexual intercourse alone, which is, in a patriarcal context, completely underrepresented. However one can see in it a more contrasted statement, which is not the recurring feminist idea of celebrating woman’s body in masturbation. Linked to the text at the bottom of the monoprint, it suggests that the act is not really enjoyed nor joyful ; also, the absence of clear representation of the genitals of the woman alludes that the aim of it is not feminine celebration. This is not the representation of a victorious empowered woman. The statement made by the text links art to sexuality, implicitely saying that she is doing this because she can’t use her imagination to make art. Masturbation and sexuality are here perceived as a return to a more primitive state, where there is sex drive and death drive (the gun). This basic state can be interpreted through the expressionless face of the character, implying that this is a neutral gesture, nearly an automatism, and through the representation of it, which is basic, a simple black stain without representation of genitals or hand. This state is then opposed to the mention of « imagination », which could embody the spirituality of art allowing oneself to be detached from bodily preoccupations. Masturbation here, with the help of the text, appears as the expression of frustration. Not only sexual but a more global frustration, and this joyless way of showing it can remind the effects of depression on the body and imagination, being the expression of delusion and dead end. I thought it would be interesting to link it with a scene from David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive, where we see the main character, Diane, masturbating while being in a state of immense despair. This is shown as a natural response to this state in the movie, and one can interpret it the same way while looking at the drawing. Then, it enlarges the focus of woman’s body representation, breaking the dichotomy between passive, submissive woman versus empowered strong woman. This representation does not fit into none of these cases and submits a conflictual staging of woman’s body, that allows Emin to tackle issues such as depression, a theme implicitely mentioned with the help of the text and the presence of the gun. It reminds not only the difficulty to live as an artist in society, but also the contentious relation of women with their own body, relation sometimes contradictory as influenced by their own perception but also heavily burdened by society.

Then the artwork displays a very personal representation of the artist’s body and mind, which leads us to question the representation of the self in art. Here, there is no particular pictorial sign alluding to the fact that this is a self representation The text hints at it with the use of the first person pronoun « I » and if we know a little about Emin’s work, we can deduce this. However, I would like to question the tension between the artist and her work with the help of this picture. Emin’s art has been qualified of confessional, as it tackles her intimacy, with striking examples such as My Bed. But with the example of this drawing, I will show how « confessional » art relies on the staging of some elements to make it look striking and intimate. Indeed, Emin here does a perfect balance between private and symbolic elements, that creates a contrast allowing her work to be at the same time very personal and universal. For each part of the drawing there is a personal and a universal symbolic or consonance : the gun is the symbol of death but implicitely tells us about the artist’s depression, the feminine body is a topos in art but the way it is sexualised shows the particular and conflictual relation between the artist and her body, the text begins with « I » but questions a larger problem, the one of imagination and artist’s angst not to produce anything. Even the couch, which could be seen as a domestic feature, is placed here in the middle of nowhere, creating a defamiliarisation that favorises the viewer’s identification, as he or she can imagine the couch in any house. Then, there is a tension here between the personal and the universal, as Emin at the same time speaks about herself (or at least about her staged artistic persona) and gives the viewer tools to be familiar with her work, to identify with some elements. I mentionned the expression « staged artistic persona » as it is always difficult to separate or unify the artist and his or her work in such « confessional » art. Indeed, if we enlarge the focus to the global work of Emin and her life, we can see that she became famous for her scandal at Channel 4, when she had innapropriate behavior while being drunk. From this point, we can wonder to what extent her public representations and art are staged. Indeed this drawing is really intimate and striking by the fact that it is probably showing the artist masturbating, but we need not to forget that this is all the result of choices from Tracey Emin, that there is a tension between showing and not showing. One of the main point I recall from my reading of Regarding the Pain of Others by Susan Sontag is that art in general is all about framing : making a choice of what has to be shown. Then, even in such « confessional » art, there is still the notion of staging reality, and of representation (understood as codification and modification). This also helps me to justify the quotation marks I use for the word « confessional », because it suggests that the artist is giving biographical facts to the viewer or reader, which is not the case as the biographical facts are subverted and distorted to create a real aesthetic. To come back to the drawing, it is important to say that the « confessional » aspect of it is conveyed through the use of the handwritten text at the bottom of it. Indeed the text gives a strong impression of intimacy, with the use of « I », but also of spontaneity, as it is handwritten with some letters that aren’t lined well like the n or the t. This makes the text important, as it could have only been the title of the work and not figure on the drawing itself, but the imperfect, spontaneous aspect of it participates in the striking immediacy of Emin’s monoprint. Also, it shows a mixing of different genres in art, mixing writing and drawing and blurring the boundary between them. This had been theorized by Theodor Adorno as l’effrangement des arts, Adorno stating that there is a progressive dissolution of the boundaries between genres in art, and that we tend to a more « total » art, a feature that we can find here in Emin’s drawing.

As a conclusion, we can see that Emin’s work is, in appearance, very minimalistic, but in fact allows us to tackle an impressive number of issues, as it is a work that uses and deconstructs a tradition, debunks the usual representations of women’s bodies and question the tension between what is shown or not. The form is innovative, as it shows an austere, raw drawing coupled with text, and deconstructs numerous canons (the expressionist one as well as others, especially concerning the representation of women), but the content is also about current issues : the affirmation of women’s sexuality, the need to speak about mental health issues and also to reflect on the artist position within society and linked to her work. Finally, we can say that this drawing contradicts the bourgeois ideal of art, proper and elitist, as it is accessible, striking for everybody, and embodies one of the main quality one can expect from a piece of art : disturbing the settled artistic and political order.
