Wait people talking abt the wilbur situation: this is such a bizarre piece of misinformation to be talking about but I wanna clear up who Jebediah Springfield is in the series because I've seen some misinformation.

Jebediah Springfield is the founder of the town Springfield. In the episode Lisa the Iconoclast he is revealed to be a pirate who tried to kill George Washington, but otherwise in the series is a neutral figure, sometimes used for jokes about shitty historical figures. He had an adventuring companion named Shelbyville, who started up a rival town by the name Shelbyville. In the series they are not depicted as abusive to each other (which is a piece of weird misinformation I've seen) and Shelbyville is not his girlfriend (another piece of misinformation.) Shelbyville is a man.

This is such a mild thing but it's so odd to me that people are miscontrueing it.

Anyway support Shelby Shubble.

Wolfe von Lenkiewicz.

Contemporary reworkings of classical works and modern portraits by London-based artist Wolfe von Lenkiewicz.

Known for his artistic reconfigurations of well-known iconic images selected from the history of art, from Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa to Pablo Picasso’s Guernica, Wolfe von Lenkiewicz’s post-historical practice carefully examines the linearity of historical perspective embedded within our visual understanding of the past.

Described alternatively as both ‘an unbound geneticist turned artist’ and ‘a contemporary iconoclast’, his art practice occupies a space outside our traditional conception of history to become a fulcrum between different ages and new form of visual language.

Wip Questionnaire (Grayguard Edition!)

Rules: answer as few or as many as you'd like!

1. What was the first part of your wip that you created?

The earliest concept in Grayguard is probably the Hellenistic kingdom of Cloria and its Oracle Queen, also the elemental mineral Oriche. Those two have been recycled through at least three scrapped stories before I put it in Grayguard.

2. If your story was a TV show, what would the theme song/intro be?

The story is set into four acts, sooo

Act 1: Hollow Knight from the Hollow Knight OST

Act 2: Blue Desire (from Blazblue Chronophantasma)

Act 3: Iconoclast by KOTOKO

Act 4: Kuroi Uta from Drakengard 3

3. Who are your favourite characters you've made? Why?

Not to be too spoilery (since Grayguard will be on AO3 at some point) But other than Emil and Lisa, a certain shapeshifter that appears in act 2 and an antagonist of Act 3, one is an absolute blast to write, the other is the best villain I’ve written in my opinion.

4. What other pieces of media do you think would share a fan base for your story?

Probably Aurora fans and Zelda: BOTW/TOTK fans.

5. What has been your biggest struggle with your wip?

Honestly I’ve been mashing some plotlines together to make it run smoother because I CANNOT cram that many plot lines into a single act.

6. Are there any animals in your story? Talk about them!

Chaos creatures aplenty, including Dragons, Watchers (eldritch Gorgons), Chimera (a result of creatures fusing their Chaos energy to melt into one being) also plenty of plain animals except really big with a few weird details (Deers with crystal horns, Bears with rock spikes all over their body, etc) there’s also giant sea serpents that are sort of like traditional Chinese dragons.

7. How do your characters get around? (ex: trains, horses, cars, dragons, etc.)

Walking, so much fucking walking. If they have a horse that doesn’t die from an ambush (which happens all the time) It sort of helps the journey. Though they get on a giant robot homunculus with a whole city on it at one point so that speeds the journey up for a few weeks.

8. What part of your wip are you working on rn?

Currently editing the hell out of Act 1, I have a few chapters of Act 2 but it’s not free from my wrath either.

9. What aspects (tropes, maybe?) of your wip do you think will draw people in?

In terms of tropes, fallen heroes, found family, chosen one (who’s avoiding it at every turn) fallen civilizations, and magic robots.

Other than that, I hope it’s the characters that draw people in. It’s very character driven even if the worldbuilding and magic is thoroughly detailed. They’re fun as hell to write about and I love mixing and matching their dynamics to see who loves or hates each other.

10. What are your hopes for your wip?

that people like it lol, that’s about it.

I’ll tag @deanwax and whoever else wants to join!

Nat is back with thoughts™️ on the Van Gogh soup incident and now the Monet 'Mashed Potato' incident.

I know some of you have already asked me what I thought about the protesters throwing soup on the Van Gogh painting, but I am back with more coherent thoughts in light of the new but similar Monet incident.

I was reading a post by Pulitzer Prize winning NYT Art Critic, Jerry Saltz (which I will quote from frequently in this rant of mine) and wanted to further comment because I'm just so frustrated and need a place to vent.

First to talk about setting a bad precedent, this is exactly what I was worried about back in May when climate protesters threw cake on the Mona Lisa. Then the Van Gogh incident earlier this month and now the Monet incident a few weeks later.

If the first two 'protests' proved anything, it's that these forms of activism are not successful nor remotely beneficial to the cause.

"They're gaining exposure! The point is global attention and they got it! It's successful because everyone is talking about it!"

I think it's important to focus on what exactly everyone is talking about. The art. Obviously the art world is focused solely on the art, but every media outlet is focusing heavily on the painting and possible damage and adds the protesters message as a byline, if they add anything about what the protesters hope to achieve at all. All it takes is one scroll through twitter to see that the general public sentiment is outrage towards the protesters and even, towards the cause at large.

It paints climate activists in a negative light. As destroyers of culture. As people willing to turn to iconoclastic methodologies of the past to prove a message. In this case, all media attention isn't good. Furthermore, outrage has gone so far that other climate activists on social media have accused the women who threw soup on the Van Gogh of working for big oil companies. (If this is true, I wouldn't be surprised. If it's not, their message was utterly lost by the actions of their 'protest' and there is minimal public support to be found on either side of the climate issue.) The general public knows about climate change! These forms of activism only serve to paint those working to fight climate change in a negative light.

This is because, as Saltz says, the general public is:

"...against this form of protest. I am against the destruction of the Earth. I am for all forms of beauty. Two things can be true at the same time."

Secondly, we have to consider what the rise in these forms of protest mean for museum and gallery spaces! It means more distance between you, the museum goer, and the painting. You'll have to stand farther away than before. It means more preemptive protective glass casings and screens over more works of art (Inhibiting your view of the meticulous paint details even further). It means more extensive and harsher policing of museum patrons in gallery spaces by security which is already a significant contributing factor in keeping POC and the younger generation out of art museums. Our access to art will be hindered and reduced out of fear of damage and destruction. That is the impact these protesters had/have with this particular form of activism.

Thirdly, we have to think about what happens when the art that gets damaged by these protests is art that isn't protected by glass. Or when protest measures go a step further to actually destroy and maim a piece of artwork. To quote Jerry Saltz:

"I believe that this will inevitably lead to the actual destruction of art. Iconoclasm in protest is as old as our species. Maybe 1% of 1% of 1% of 1% of all the art ever made survives. All the plays of the Greeks- except the few we have- were destroyed as Pagan."

It is possible that we are witnessing a rebirth of an iconoclastic era that future generations will discuss. The impact of these protests have the potential to be catastrophic for art and cultural history and past iconoclastic movements in history have proved that multiple times over!

Finally though, Saltz talks about something I think is really important to remember. We are all at the hands of banks and oil companies, and governments, and industries in power that destroy the Earth. He says:

"These entities tell us to compost, save the environment, don't use straws...while their own ways go unchecked as they make more profits."

These powers that be want us fighting amongst one another. They want public outrage and backlash against these protesters because as long as we continue pointing fingers at one another, no one will point fingers at them. Which is maybe why so many headlines are focused on the shock value of destroying art. We are not any different than the protesters at our core. We're all suffering under the same system that is causing harm. I think it's important to remember that while we shouldn't condone the protesters actions, it's easy to be extremely harsh on powerless people trying to lash out at a suffocating system of power.

I agree with Saltz in that both lines of thinking can be true. You can disagree and be pained by their methods, while understanding to a certain degree why these forms of 'protest' keep happening.

#thats all i guess #if you read this ily haha #also i think its so funny how jerry saltz wrote out an 8 part response to this #and kenny schachter just responded: death penalty #i SCREAMED #ARH talks #nat speaks

"The Ghost and Molly McGee" employs archives stereotypes with basement archive [Part 1]

Entering the archives which is…behind a heavy steel door, of course

Recently, I was watching one of my favorite animated series, The Ghost and Molly McGee. When I saw the two protagonists, Molly McGee and Scratch, go to the local library to learn the truth behind a town legend, it seemed like standard fare in animated series. Usually, the story goes like this: characters to go a library or archives to learn about something, they find the answers somehow, and ta-da, problem resolves itself. This episode appeared to follow that same pattern, reminding me a little of The Simpsons episode "Lisa the Iconoclast," which Sam Cross analyzed on her blog. However, I was intrigued when I saw Libby, Molly's friend, hilariously dressed in a trench coat, tells Molly and Scratch that "you have no idea how deep this rabbit hole goes. You need to visit...the archives." Warning that there will be some spoilers for this episode ("Monumental Disaster") discussed in this post so I can analyze it here.

Reprinted from my Wading Through the Cultural Stacks WordPress blog. Originally published on Nov. 18, 2021.

My concern grew when it was clear that in the episode, the archives clearly has a lot of mystique around it. For one, it is only accessible when Libby pulled out a book of a shelf aptly named Secret Levers 4 Secret Doors, causing a huge metal door to open. In the archives itself, it is portrayed as spooky, dusty, and dirty, with cobwebs on the ground, even with eerie music playing. This portrayal is not unique, although some shows have archives above-ground, not in a "dank dungeon of a basement surrounded by cobwebs and dust. For example, in an episode of Phineas & Ferb, another Disney show, Heinz Doofenshmirtz travels to the secret vault, in the basement of city hall, filled with documents, lit by torches, and having cobweb, to find the deed he is looking for. In Amphibia, also a Disney series, Anne Boonchuy and the Plantars travel to the town archives, happens to also be underground and is described by one character as "dustier than Dusty's dustbin."

Like the basement archives in Phineas & Ferb and Amphibia, no archivist is seen and archives almost seem abandoned. On the other hand, the archives appears to be well-organized, despite some papers strewn on the ground, almost like the basement newspaper archives in a few episodes of Stretch Armstrong and the Flex Fighters, one of the first series I wrote about on this blog in August of last year. It is implied that some people may care for the archives as Libby mentions, earlier in the episode, that the archives is sponsored by the Brighton Women's Historical Society which believes history should be "no mystery."

Despite these negatives, Molly does get the information she looking for, with Libby dramatically opening a box which has the "answers" she seeks. Molly pulls out a book entitled The True History of Brighton. Libby plays a vinyl recording of the book being read/sung. As a result, Molly, is like Lisa Simpson in the previously mentioned episode of The Simpsons, realizing that the town legend is wrong, with the heroine of the town being Sally Tugbottom, rather than her brother, Ezekiel "Tug" Tugbottom. Molly then recognizes that Tug, who the legend is centered around, wrote the history (almost akin to Buddy Buddwick in Steven Universe) which everyone accepts. As a result, she vows to right this injustice. Ultimately, she is successful, as Tug's attempts to cause destruction cause him to destroy a statue made in his honor.

Part 9 of the series in which Phryne and Jack are playing matchmakers to Dot and Hugh - in collaboration with @anni-yanni

9/? Death On The Vine (S2E10) - part 1

Today is a very tough day for Jack. It seems like everyone is testing his code breaking abilities. Miss Fisher is in the beautiful town of Maiden Creek, where crime is at its highest BUT they make very good wine, if that's any consolation, and she's in desperate need of a "mechanic", while Hugh is desperately trying to find his words to make a speech... or an announcement... uh... to propose to Dot. Fortunately, Jack is smart enough to decode even Hugh's unfortunate choice of words, let alone Miss Fisher's call of distress.

Ive been re-watching old Simpsons episodes again, and the majority of the time, Lisa is ahead of the curve with her perceptive intelligence of sociopolitical issues. She is always the first (often only) voice of reason to comment on prejudice, exploitation, class and gender disparities, etc

Having just watched "Lisa the Iconoclast" it reveals so much of the naiveté white liberal/moderate America in the mid-90s still carried about colonial pasts. Lisa, who has always been quick to correct misconceptions around her shaped by capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy; has a gigantic blindspot when it comes to taking the patriotic colonial myth of her town at face value. She is on-board with the blind nationalism of her community galvanizing a settler, until discovering his confession of self-aware villainy- not for the violent displacement of indigenous people- but for his life as a pirate and deliberate fraud on fellow settlers.

I just find that so interesting, when Lisa-centric episodes were more confrontational on addressing social justice issues, (and it would not have been contextually unusual for her to have the main plot tension be taking a stand against the townspeople on the basis of decolonial values) but it seems show-runners and mass audiences still werent ready to acknowledge that; instead, contriving this fraudelent pirate background to be the damnation of an otherwise reputable hero.

I *would* almost say "if that episode was made today, that's the route they would take" if the show hadnt moved more steadily right over the years, completely unrecognizable from its former self and pre-occupied with out-of-touch "woke college campus" complaints and Lisa herself defending Elon Musk, a character type she would have been a defiant whistle-blower on in the first decade

New Music | Lisa Marie Simmons & Marco Cremaschini

NoteSpeak 12 by Lisa Marie Simmons, Marco Cremaschini

Musically, NoteSpeak 12 explores the considerable distance between two disparate musical outposts – dodecaphonic (12-note scale) iconoclasts Schoenberg and Stockhausen to represent western culture, and AfroBeat to represent African culture – but also allows the musicians to play with freedom within these two pillars and breathe their own creativity into the groove. “AfroBeat is music from the body – no chorus, no harmony, just lots of rhythm and riffs,” explains pianist-composer Marco Cremaschini. “I also pulled in African jazz-folk forms, like pianist Abdullah Ibrahim, and then European folk forms, too.” “Since he was talking about the 12-note scale, I concentrated on the number twelve for the lyrics,” says lyricist and vocalist Lisa Marie Simmons. Her contributions to NoteSpeak 12, in substance and form (sonnets, free verse, rondeau prime, and others), meditate upon the ubiquitous presence of the number 12 and its various worldly incarnations (in Islam, in Judeo-Christianity, in astrology, in physics) and its metaphysical representation of harmony, empathy, and unity.
