The sucky thing about reorganizing the house to make it more maneuverable for my aging parents, is that I can’t buy any more materialistic items for a while.

do you have any tips for an artist who wants to start making one off comics? i really enjoy your artistic direction and style of story telling so i’m very interested in your thoughts on it

yes, definitely!!

-read lots of comics! and a variety of them, too--both ones in the sort of genre/style you'd like to make, but also ones in completely different genres, lengths, places of origin, traditionally/indie/digitally published, simple to experimental formatting, etc

-in relation to the last one, if a comic you read really speaks to you, take some time to study some page layouts from that comic! how do the panels vary from page to page? how much space is the text taking up? what sort of "shots" (to borrow from cinematic language lol) are they using? these shouldn't be fancy, just little thumbnails, but i find it really helps. here's a few i did from a guest in the house by emily carroll

-start smalllll. its really important to build up your stamina, just like with any new sort of skill. if you wanna make a graphic novel thats 200+ pages long, you should make some comics that are 1, 20, 50 pages long and see them through to the end before taking on a super big project.

-this is related to the last point, but i think keeping your cast of characters small at first can also help build up your comic stamina. signals was the first longer comic i made, so i specifically really wanted to focus on just jeanne (and occasionally her parents and peers when they showed up)

-character sheets are helpful, but i also think the easiest way to start getting your characters drawn consistently is through actually drawing the comic! there's also gonna be panels where they look "off" or whatever, and its literally fine, i promise

-through the smaller comics, experiment with how you go about writing your story! theres no right or wrong way to write/plan out a story so, it takes some trial and error to figure out what will work best with your work flow. for me, i've found success in making a timeline of events for the story -> loosely guessing how many pages i'll need/want per section of the story -> freewriting (trying not to edit too much, just dumping all the words out) -> thumbnailing/loose sketching/editing text (all sort of happens in the same step; i find i need the layouts in front of me to understand what i need/don't need from the text i wrote) -> tight sketching -> final . but, if that flow doesn't work for you, try something else! i know a lot of comics people find success in writing a script first, with indications of page and panel-by-panel breakdowns

-take shortcuts often and without guilt. its a lot of work to make a comic! theres just a lot of drawings involved, that most people aren't gonna look at for very long! i especially recommend for infrequent/difficult things, like buildings or crowds or cars or bookcases, using some sort of 3d asset/brush to make your life easier. if you can reuse a drawing and change the crop/expression, do it!

-use some sort of tracker to track your progress on how many pages you've sketched/inked/finished. even if you don't have an external deadline, i think it's still good to give yourself some sort of timeline to work on (i recommend setting "ideal" goals and "realistic" goals, especially if you're working/still in school/etc). for signals, i used google sheets, because you can set up columns to be attached to little circle charts, so as you check off your progress, you can really easily see how much you've done/how much you have left to do (as i type this i highkey forget how i did that before, with signals, so...you might need to do some sheets experimentation to actually do this lol. but there's probably other trackers you can use too)

-understanding comics and making comics by scott mccloud are both great books, highly recommend them (easy to get second hand/from your library/🏴‍☠️)

-lastly, haveee funnnnn

Famous Five Art Nostalgia #12

Introductory post

Five Go Down to the Sea – Le Club des Cinq au bord de la mer

Original publication date: 1953 (UK), 1959 (France)

(Original cover by Aldo de Amicis, 1959)

Whereas most of the illustrations for the first edition of the FF series were divided between two artists (first Simone Baudouin, then Jeanne Hives), this book stands out for having a different illustrator: Aldo de Amicis. Sadly, this guy follows the trend initiated by Baudouin and also swaps Dick and Julian’s hair colour. Sigh.

~~~~~~

Plot summary (adapted from Wikipedia):

Siblings Julian, Dick and Anne, and their cousin Georgina 'George' and her dog, Timmy, spend a holiday at a coastal farm in Cornwall. There, they are nicely welcomed and hosted by the garrulous Mrs Penruthlan [Mme Penlan] and her enormous husband, whose monosyllabic utterances they find incomprehensible and quite funny. The children encounter a young boy named Yan (Jan) [Yan (Jean)], as well as a group of travelling entertainers called the Barnies [les Barnies].

(Young Yan is exceedingly curious about the Five, but also very skittish)

(George picks up a leaflet promoting the Barnies’ upcoming shown)

The children learn that long ago, villainous locals would shine a light on stormy nights to direct ships onto rocks to wreck them, and the vessels would be smashed and their cargoes washed ashore and stolen. Julian and Dick discover a light is again being shone at night, so the children set out to solve the mystery.

(Right after seeing the mysterious light being shone at night, the boys cannot wait to tell the girls their discovery)

The Five put their investigations on hold when the Barnies arrive at the farm, as they spend the day helping the Penruthlans clean up the barn and prepare the feast preceding the show. After the show, Dick and Julian get into a bit of mischief when they nab a horse costume and get stuck inside due to a malfunctioning zip.

(Clopper [Clopinant] the hilariously funny (pretend) horse is the highlight of any Barnie show)

Resuming their investigations, the Five visit the tower from which the light was shone, but they get locked up in a cellar and told by the smugglers that they had come at an 'awkward time.' Yan, who had secretly followed the Five, helps them escape through the Secret Way, a path used by the Wreckers of old. They go back to Mrs Penruthlan, in the misbelief that Mr Penruthlan is in league with the smugglers. When the Five and Yan discover that Mr Penruthlan is actually with the police and find out that his consistent "aahs", "ooohs" and "ocks" are because he didn't have his false teeth in, the Five quickly warm up to him.

(After following Yan through the Secret Way, the children realise that the passage ends up in a shed at the farm)

After joining forces with Mr Penruthlan, the Five discover that the 'Guv'nor' of the Barnies actually is the exchanger of the goods the smugglers stole from the wrecked ships. Mr Penruthlan discovers a white package containing smuggled drugs inside Clopper, and in the end, after calling the police, Mr Penruthlan guffaws and hands Clopper over to Julian and Dick, and wishes them luck with it.

Bonus:

(Now what I want to know, is *what* did Dick and Julian do with that horse costume after this book?!)

~~~~~~

Cover art through the ages:

(Disclaimer: This is not an exhaustive list; sometimes the dates are difficult to pinpoint; and I have purposefully not included editions that re-used similar cover art, with differences only in layout and font style.)

(Original cover art by Aldo de Amicis, Hachette, 1963 – dark-haired Julian has a nicely-developed chest 😏, while Dick seems uncharacteristically coy and wary of water 🤨)

(Famous Five and the Big, Huge, Ginormous Beach Ball (at least Timmy gets to enjoy the shade!) – Jeanne Hives, Hachette, 1966)

(Watery fun! Jean Sidobre, Hachette, 1972)

(More watery fun! J.P. Morvan, France Loisirs, 1977)

(Yet more watery fun, because why stop a good thing? Umberto Nonna, Edito Service, 1981)

(Anne and Dick seem awfully tanned back there – remember to put on sunscreen! Jean Sidobre, Hachette, 1984)

(A pretty scenic view courtesy of Paul Gillon, France Loisirs, 1996, based on earlier art from 1992)

(Trapped in the cellar! on top of the tower?? Wtf 😩 – Frédéric Rébéna, Hachette, 2007)

(Okay, I don’t love Auren’s art but I admit that this cover does make me want to go on a trip to the seaside 😎 – Hachette, 2019)

~~~~~~

That's all for today, thanks for reading!

The closeness of the royal couple's relationship was reflected in the architecture of their living spaces. Mary Whiteley compares the physical space of royal palaces in England and France. Between 1357 and 1368, Edward III remodeled part of Windsor Castle, which formed the main residence for Philippa of Hainault and their children. Philippa had given birth to two of their children at Windsor, Margaret  in 1346 and William in 1348,  and Edward held a number tournaments there, two of which were in celebration of Philippa's churchings in 1348 and 1355. Although Philippa's rooms were smaller and fewer in number than those of the king, the king and queen's chambers were on the same level and their bedchambers close together, despite the facts that by the completion of Edward's renovations, Philippa had already borne her last child in 1355. In comparison, the rooms that Jeanne de Bourbon (1338-78), wife of French king Charles V, occasionally stayed in at the Louvre palace were on the same level below that of her husband, although similar in size and shape. In their familial residences of St-Pol and Vincennes, Jeanne's rooms were in an entirely different building, although with a connecting corridor at St-Pol. The difference in architecture may be attributable to their preferences or the relationships between the couples. Despite his changes to Windsor, during Edward's reign, the layout of the queen's rooms at palaces such as Westminster remained similar to their original design for Eleanor of Provence, wife of Henry III, at a distance from public areas. Likewise, at Kennington, Edward the Prince of Wales, built rooms for his wife [Joan of Kent] overlooking the gardens and away from the public areas, with no processional access and distanced from Edward's rooms. The layout remained unchanged under Richard II and Anne of Bohemia. As Richard favoured this palace, perhaps because of the connection to his father, the unaltered states may have been sentimental rather than practical. However, the general changes in the principal royal residences, which had transformed the fortified castles of the twelfth century into more luxurious palaces by the fourteenth century, also reflect the increase in royal splendour under Edward III and Richard II. Although differences between the palace layouts represent general patterns in royal architecture, the layout of Windsor does suggest that Edward intended to live close to Philippa.

— Louise Tingle, Chaucer’s Queens: Royal Women, Intercession, and Patronage in England 1328-1394 (pages 22 and 23)

Which servants do you think would play Mobile Games? (like Gacha, Idol games, Candy Crush, Fruit Ninja)

Gachas and Gacha-Adjacents

(don't spend money on gacha)

Tomoe Gozen

Despite being a #gamer, she wouldn't play most mobile games due to them, generally speaking, having pretty unskilled gameplay (unless some piece of canon I'm not remembering smites me down.) However, given all the hyper-intense Arknights blogging I've seen, Tomoe would be entranced by crunching numbers and solving her little military puzzles with her units. Also, she'd be into catgirls, and whatever the hell the Doctor has got going on with that scientist woman who hates them.

Blackbeard

tries all of them. even the bad ones. ...especially the bad ones.

has one of those AI Waifu apps.

Fusehime, Okita, Ushiwakamaru

Touken Ranbu players (the sword boy game). Ushiwakamaru nerds out about the history of the swords, Fusehime is a #collector, and Okita just likes the simple gameplay of mowing down people with her prettyboy units. Nobunaga also plays, trying to piss Okita off with her luck in forging boys, but Okita genuinely loves the low-rarity units so it's only half-way effective.

Shuten-Douji

Shuten plays a gacha game where all of the waifus are humanizations of alcohol. She's spent well over a thousand dollars trying to get Aged Red Wine, who's a milf that looks like Raikou. Don't question why.

Jalter

Plays one of the more lore-heavy gacha games. Whales for her favorites and writes intense meta posts. She's very insistent that this is just the natural course of things.

Gilles

Isn't huge into gachas generally, but he'll pick up whatever game has a Jeanne expy (or, because he considers Saber-faces to be 'Jeanne faces', Saber expies) to roll for the girl in question, max levels her, and then drops the game.

Valkyries

They play Obey Me and other Shall We Date games to debate over the best boys.

Kama

Gets invested in one hot girl in one game and her money is gone. The girl in question has glasses and a turtleneck like Medusa's casual form.

Gilgamesh

Plays gacha games with ranking and pvp elements like Epic Seven to lord his units over the plebs. Is also a pull streamer. A lot of his clips go viral, and the atmosphere of his streams are very fun.

Other Phone Games

Nobunaga

Downloads one of those 'We're under fucking attack!' games. Nero is the woman in the ad.

Helena

A daily wordle girlie. Shares her scores on Servantgram with Sherlock.

MHXX

Plays Angry Birds on her break.

Miss Crane and Phantom

Idol games. They're friends over it.

Nero and Elizabeth

They compete in rhythm games to get higher scores than each other.

Osakabahime

Plays mobile fortnite on her bed.

Chloe and Emiya also play, but Emiya gets dumpstered by the other two.

Iyo

Plays Stardew on her phone. Likes showing other Servants and her Master her farm layout and progress.

The Paladins

Collectively have an old iPhone 8 that still has flappy bird on it that they pass around. It's beaten to shit but still kicking.

Paul Bunyan

Needs to use the largest I-Pad ever, but she plays pretty basic Facebook-esque games like Candy Crush. In her Alt form, she posts game scores for likes.

Kintoki

Jetpack Joyride and the Hello Kitty games.

Author Servants

Hans gets them all into phone scrabble. They keep getting collectively mad at Shakespeare because he cheats and tries to make new words.

anderson voice: dumas that word is not allowed in scrabble

dumas: but it's a word in FRENCH

Ptolomey dominates

Among Us

The child servants generally play Among Us together, once it gets popular in Chaldea.

Jack: Loves to be the imposter because murder is fun! Pretty bad at keeping her identity hidden, though. LOVES the little hats.

Nursery Rhyme: Sees it as a game of Hide and Seek. Fails at being the imposter and doing tasks.

Jalter Lily: Does tasks, is decent at being the imposter. A generalist.

Voyager: Very good at doing tasks. Hates being the imposter.

Erice: Terrible at Among Us, but wants to play to hang out with Voyager. She gets really upset about losing, though. This genuinely affects her self-confidence.

Mephistopheles: Plays with the children. Pretends to be the imposter even if he's not.

Douman: Also plays with the children. Generally pretty wretched to Meph, but is a good and fun player otherwise. Hams up being the evil villain when they're shot out of the air-lock.

Pokemon Go

Achilles

Da Vinci Lily with Goredolf

Erice with Voyager

Iskander with the very specific intention of conquering the world and catching a Pokemon in every city he conquers. Waver cannot keep up with him, so Iskander would -- in the hypothetical world-conquering scenario -- get one of those phone holders and drive the car real slow to help him catch Pokemon.

Guda is a shiny hunter.

Carmilla gets all the dogs, eventually branching out into other Dark types (with the occasional cute animal.) Defends her team's gym with a massively overpowered Houndoom.

Bakin has a full dog team

Rakou has a teddiursa she named Kintoki. Kintoki would catch Raikou a Raikou. Gotta do things for your momma!

Michi teaches Izou how to use a phone so he can have his little Pokemon.

Sei plays with the girl gang (Suzuka, Nobbu, Okita, etc. Murasaki is dragged along too.)

Honorable Mentions

Beni Enma

Doesn't play phone games, but does have a DS and 10,000 hours in the cooking mama games and their offshoots collectively.

Film #905: 'The Devils', dir. Ken Russell, 1971.

I'll confess that Ken Russell's The Devils is not listed in my printing of 1,001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. I'm assuming it's one of the films that was removed from an earlier edition to make space for the new fashions of the day. With some films, this removal would make it difficult to decide what the purpose was for including the film on the list. With The Devils, the problem is slightly the opposite: there are a lot of reasons why someone might want to include this film on the list, but it's difficult to determine which one was the clinching factor.

It's not necessarily sufficient that this film might have inspired a subgenre. 'Nunsploitation' is a pretty low-visibility subgenre in films of the 1970s and 1980s, and isn't well-known today outside cult film circles. Also, the lineage is difficult to trace: while you could draw a line between Russell's story of sexual hysteria in 17th-century France and the more contemporary-set tales of violence and retribution that the subgenre morphed into, there's not a lot of family resemblance there to begin with. You'd think you might find a layout of this history in, say, The Rough Guide of Cult Movies, but the section on 'nuns' only lists three films and The Devils is the most recent of them.

Maybe more important is the film's excessive controversy. It's a highly sexually-explicit film about priests, nuns and the political machinations of Cardinal Richilieu, and was deemed shocking enough that it was banned in several countries (Finland only removed their ban on it in 2001). Kyle Kallgren's video response to The Devils was expunged several years ago, but is still viewable through archive.org. While I assume he doesn't think it's his best critical work, he does accurately pin down the absurdity of the film's excess and luridness. This is a film that ends with a hunchbacked nun (Vanessa Redgrave) masturbating with the charred femur of the priest she became obsessed with and whose downfall she engineered (Oliver Reed). Did the film need to contain these sequences? Not necessarily, although it certainly indicates that Russell was trying to do something by including them.

This controversy, though, isn't particularly unusual for its sources. Aldous Huxley's book The Devils of Loudun was the ostensible source, transmuted through John Whiting's play for the Royal Shakespeare Company at the time it was under the direction of Sir Peter Hall. All these elements added to the film's provocative nature, as well as the inclusion of a young Derek Jarman, before he started his own directing career, to oversee the set design. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, British theatrical productions were becoming more abstract and avant-garde, and the works being commissioned reflected this. It was not at all unusual for performers associated with the stage to take on extremely intimate roles in films - as well as Vanessa Redgrave here, you could also consider the early roles of Tilda Swinton and Helen Mirren in the films of Jarman and Peter Greenaway, for example.

This discussion, however, sidesteps the discussion of what The Devils is actually about, so here's the brief summary. The French town of Loudon has recently lost its Governor, leaving the town in the care of the priest, Urbain Grandier. The dissolute King Louis XIII made an agreement with the deceased Governor to leave the town's walls standing, but Cardinal Richilieu piles unrelenting pressure on the king to renege on this promise in order to quash the Protestant factions of the country and "unite France". Grandier's womanising ways get the daughter of the local sheriff pregnant; the abbess of the local convent is sexually obsessed with him. When the abbess, Jeanne, is so incensed by Grandier's perceived betrayal of her love that she recklessly implies he is a devil appearing to her at night, all the enemies of Grandier find a mutually-agreeable tactic against him. Grandier is tried and executed for his crimes. This is not what the viewer will remember about the film, though. What they will remember is the extended 'possession' scenes, in which all the nuns of the convent strip and engage in orgies on the altar of the church. They'll remember the exorcism-via-enema, and the unhinged intensity of Father Barre (Michael Gothard), a Bowie-esque witchfinder so devoted to his cause that he cannot see anything as contradicting the truth that these women are all possessed, even when his beliefs are proven to be false in front of the whole town.

On the one hand, this is a shame. Buried beneath the excess is a deeply emotive story about faith, and it's not difficult to see how Oliver Reed saw Urbain Grandier as his best performance. Grandier's apparent hypocrisy, inspiring lust in basically every woman who lays eyes on him and using that for his own satisfaction, is tempered in a few very subtle scenes where he implies that his self-sacrifice and his embrace of earthly pleasures is bringing him closer to God. After he leaves Loudon to have an audience with the King, this develops into a full-on epiphany: he now wants to devote himself to the religious ecstasy of serving those whom he loves. He sees this earthly devotion as a greater communion than the life of self-denial that seems to drive Sister Jeanne into delusion. The Devils is also to some degree a film about how those with power are adept at leveraging those without power. Were it not for Sister Jeanne's accusations, the Cardinal and his allies would never be able to quell Grandier's influence. Despite this, at no point does Sister Jeanne have power over Grandier - just the opposite. She and Urbain both lose everything, and those with power lose nothing, free to continue their holy rampage over everything that stands in their way. The King, who seems at times sympathetic, has concerns that extend only as far as his own amusement. It entertains him to demonstrate that the 'possessions' are frauds, but after that he departs, making no meaningful difference to the trajectory of the story. Nothing changes in The Devils, which might be Russell's point: that these cycles of exploitation and superstition are easy to repeat.

All that said, though, that subtle film is only briefly glimpsed under all the chaos, and I don't think it's a baseless claim to suggest that the scandal was a bigger selling point to the director than the story of religious devotion. Despite the title cards implying otherwise, this is a fiction film, and one that takes serious liberties with the facts. British cinema was also producing kitchen-sink dramas during these decades, after all. Those were topical dramas with little excessive style, and they've mostly sunk into obscurity as well-made, well-acted, boring boring movies. What we recall about that period is the extreme and the experimental, and while I wish there was room on the list for a more sober retelling of this period of French history, I can't really fault Ken Russell for making an aggressive, explicit film that at least garners more space in the history books.

The fact that The Devils is at once an exploitative trashfire and an insightful meditation on devotion, at once a hilariously overacted cringe comedy and a deep drama, and that these somehow never drown each other out? That's a movie worth keeping on the list.

Well THAT was some hard hitting stuff.

Jeanne is finally freed. Her and her BF. After 10 years out of comic, and probably 3 years in comic.

We have confirmed that the science in the ether is expanded to encase and trap all those magical. But only those who follow science can see the layout as they really are. Smoke and mirrors. Because magic people sees science as god damn horrifying mechanical nightmares going to kill us all. 

Annie is now an official reaper in order to save Andrew. Kat unlocked dark science which should never be touched.

And we have Ayilu! The sweet illusionist fairy. And some very hard words from Red.

I think what hurts is that Annie tried to defend herself for this situation and she just got more desperate as time went on. Because Red is not exactly wrong, but she isn’t exactly right either.

I think Red was right about Annie not really understanding the importance of names for the fairies. It’s more than a title, it’s an identity that they can tie themselves around. Names are huge in fae mythology. We are callous with out names, but they treasure theirs. So I agree with Red there, Annie asked for a huge and obviously dangerous favor to distract a well known dangerous ghost for something that doesn’t really mean much to her but meant EVERYTHING to Ayilu. Because with a name, Ayilu can be on equal standing with Red, someone she obviously cares and loves and respects for.

The other bits of what Red said, about putting all of her friends in danger, about how this is for only Annie’s desires, how she put Andrew’s life at risk to try and bargain with the reapers, that I don’t think is fair. Because yes, all of that DID happen and there is some truth with what she said. But, you can’t just be blunt and cut through every issue without understanding the context that surrounds it.

The Court is dangerous. The Court was the one to set up Jeanne like that in the first place. It was a decision that was made by the higher ups only at most 30 some years ago. The people who made that decision could still be very well alive, (looking at you vulture director). If not, the knowledge of what happened would definitely be. You DON’T want the Court to know the shit you are getting into.  Personally, I agree with Red in teleporting Andrew to a hospital, but I can’t ignore that would have been a HUGE red flag for the Court’s fucking chosen medium somehow getting stabbed and dying.

And while yes you can say that they really didn’t know what Annie’s friends were getting into, you can’t say it was ALL because of Annie. Parsley was totally on board with fighting Jeanne and releasing her. Kat unlocked mega science and worked in secret to get better mega science to help out as a “just in case”. Plus Kat seeing Diego’s work with the robots and choosing to be a twat really fucked her and me up. So yes, Annie might wanted to help for her own reasons, but so did everyone else. They all prepared in their own way for this fight.

Really, I don’t think it’s fair to put all the blame on Annie for all of this. But I still have to respect Red’s decision to not associate with her. I might be stuck in as a middleman but dammit I just see the valid points on both sides here.

At least the river is safe to cross once again.
