#lumi the magpie

[siennaditbot]

Here's another thing birthed by my sleep deprived brain: Lumi the Magpie, (also known by her stage name, The Luminance) an underground bar singer!

Not sure how much I should include here buuuut she's a singer even though magpies suck. Why? How? Answer: Pure spite.

She does mostly jazzy songs, I was very much inspired by "Feeling Good" by Michael Bublé.

Also, she's totally not secretly conspiring with villains, def not. And she definitely doesn't have Clutch the Opossum wrapped around her gloved little finger. Nope, definitely not. And she absolutely does not wish the guy knew her flirts aren't just for show.

:>

#sonic oc #sonic original character #sonic oc x canon #sonic oc/canon #clutch the opossum #lumi the magpie #also this was actually inspired by a side character in one of my fav undertale fanfics i've been rereading latelt #it's called bitty hunt and the character's only in like one chapter lol #also i feel like these kind of singers look way younger than they are or they're practically ageless #idk how old clutch is supposed to be but they're both older adults i guess #SDB rambles #SDB art #the dress is referencing the cool colors magpies can shine in! v pretty! #apparently clutch is preeetty old since he's retired #but maybe lumi just takes such good care of herself she doesn't look much past her prime #idk the hair ball tuft thingy is supposed to be gray hair soo

THE St. Jordi BCN Film Festival ’21 FILM REVIEWS, VOL. II: What’s Fine…and not!

by Lucas Avram Cavazos

YOUR #VOSE take on upcoming international cinema premiering in Catalonia & Spain soon!

Hotel Coppelia by Jose Maria Cabral ###-1/2

As I screened Hotel Coppelia at this year’s festival, I was rather taken aback by how little I knew about the history behind the Dominican Republic and the US involvement/engagement/disruption of the island country. It is 1965 as the film commences and the ladies of the bordello and hotel, Coppelia, attend to their clientele with razor sharp precision and beguiling ways that aim to keep a roaring crowd coming back to fill the coffers, run by the icy and fierce bish, Judith (Lumi Lizardo). While the film mostly follows young server/performer Gloria, played with mild perfection by actress Nashla Bogaert, it’s the intermingling of the ladies at the brothel that aids in building an emotional response to the characters rather quickly. And when the US army invades the coastal town and ensconce themselves within the confines of the hotel to “fight the communists,” we see yet another heinous example of why so many despise the guise with which the US army lies with it appearance of helping by taking with force. This, incidentally, is exactly how every modern power on Earth has taken their stance to get to whatever they perceive they are. Hotel Coppelia, and a new student I’m teaching, has made my new history study a waltz around this incredible island, rumoured to be where Columbus actually landed as his furthest Northern reach. Lovely and necessary film…

Where to watch: TBA

Penguin Bloom by Glendyn Ivin ###-1/2

Not knowing what to expect with an Aussie film with the word ‘penguin’ in it, I was mostly moved to screen it because who doesn’t dig Naomi Watts? But what a lovely if heartbreaking tale of truth turned celluloid treasure with this unexpected, wee gem of a film. Oscar-nominated actress Watts plays Sam Bloom, a mum vacationing with her family in Thailand when a terrible accident leaves her paralysed from the waist down. Feeling like a burden to her husband (Andrew Lincoln) and her kids, when one of them rescues a little magpie chick and the parents decide the kiddos can keep it, what ends up happening is a bond between the depressed, defeated mother and the little bird with a broken limb. You can probably imagine what happens but the easy nature of this true tale leaves you feeling grateful, happy with perhaps a few tears of joy rolling down your lovely cheeks.

Where to watch: will be in local cinemas 10/9/21

Wild Mountain Thyme by John Patrick Shanley ##

I really can’t begin to explain how much I couldn’t believe I was watching Emily Blunt cop to an attempt at an Irish accent in this blasé, Nicholas Sparks-style romance. Starring Blunt and Christian Grey-typecast character actor Jamie Dornan, this film tells the story of the selling-off of an Irish family’s farm to a wealthy US-American nephew (read: the asshole and he is Jon Hamm...yum yum) instead of the family’s son (Dornan). What I also found most odd was watching Christopher Walken try and feign being an Irish patriarch. Could we not cull together Colm Meaney or Brendan Gleeson or ANY wonderful Irish actor above 65 to play this role? At one point around the middle juncture of the film, I actually found myself counting cliches of too many modern romance dramedies, and I eventually became perplexed as to how this was greenlit in the first place for production and why Blunt and Dornan would have signed up for this trite shite…absolutely no idea.

Where to watch: in local cinemas 23/07/21

Blithe Spirit by Edward Hall ##

Part of the comedy lineup at this year’s BCN Film Festival, Blithe Spirit is based upon the like-titled 1941 comical play by Noel Coward. Screening the film on a smaller room at Cines Verdi BCN, I really did find it strange that top actors’ actors like Judi Dench and Isla Fisher would sign up for what turned out to be a sad sap of a film. Telling the story of Charles (Dan Stevens) who’s a wealthy writer embroiled in a bad case of writer’s block who takes his wife (Fisher) to see a medium (Dench), whose performance goes madly awry and so Charles decides to commission the older medium to perform a session in his home, but this seems to summon Charles ex-wife (played beyond annoyingly so by Leslie Mann). Jokes that fail, overacting and weak scripting made this particular comedy a dud on arrival.

Where to watch: in local cinemas on 22/10/21

Last Call by Steven Bernstein ##

This film marks a moment when an accomplished cinematographer finally brings a long-desired project to fruition and onto screens. Director Bernstein has been working behind the scenes for over 35 years on innumerable movies, but he actually released an unfinished draft of this film entitled Dominion and also starring Rhys Ifans and John Malkovich back in 2016. With Last Call, a full-length feature film starring the aforementioned actors come together to tell the story of the final hours of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas’ final day. It’s a grim day where he downs eighteen shots, chats up a myriad of people, who may or may not be there, and that is until the seizure that eventually brought about his death. What Bernstein serves up however is a choppy story with certain scenes that throw continuity to the wind, but you can tell the director is a true fan of the poet and desired to create a testament to the man for whose name ‘Bob Dylan’ was transformed from Robert Zimmerman. Alas, no wannabe deep conversations or great actors can save this MEH! piece…sorry!

Morning all, still feeling sick today, but wanted to get this last eye look in for the week! At least I got the stuff done this morning that I needed to, hopefully the rest of the day I can just rest and recoup as I hope to be out and about tomorrow, we'll see how we go! . Day 21: Eye look! I actually found it easier to work with the loose powder eyeshadows today, not perfect, but got a bit of an idea how to use them without completely messing up. Far from easy, but less all over the place. I used @sugarpill shadows Asylum, Magpie & Lumi!

Why Finnish is beautiful

My previous post was titled “Finnish is not a Germanic language. It is more beautiful than that.” I would like to explain why I think my mother tongue is so special.

Take a look at the simple words in that table. The Germanic words consist predominantly of single syllables of varying length, which makes the rhythm irregular. Many of the words have harsh sounds, like Stift (pronounced Schtifft), which stop the flow of air through the mouth.

In contrast, the Finnish words consist mostly of two or more short syllables, of regular length, with an even distribution of vowels and consonants. Finnish flows smoothly and rhythmically through the mouth.

Take the word snow for example. Is it one or two syllables long? Can you pronounce the sn gracefully? The Finnish word for snow is lumi, lu-mi, pronounced as in illumination. Would you prefer snow or lumi in metered verse?

Or take the word for horror in German: Schreck. It sounds like grandpa coughing up a blot of tar from his lungs. The Finnish word is kauhu, pronounced cow-who with a short who. It sounds ghastly in a poetic way, like the name of a forest spirit.

Even the ugliest Finnish words don’t sound so ugly. The word for snot is räkä, which is ugly only in the sense that it sounds like the croaking of magpies.

J. R. R. Tolkien invented the Elvish language Quenya to sound refined, and:

Tolkien took an interest in the Finnish mythology of the Kalevala, then became acquainted with the Finnish language, which he found to provide an aesthetically pleasing inspiration for his High-elven language. Many years later, he wrote: "It was like discovering a complete wine-cellar filled with bottles of an amazing wine of a kind and flavour never tasted before. It quite intoxicated me."

You may think that Finnish culture and language means getting drunk and shouting obscenities at a hockey game. There is some truth to that. But even the crudest obscenities flow rhythmically and would lend themselves to metered verse, and sound like they told about survival in arctic climate, of man’s perseverance under the rule and majesty of nature... because that is what it means to be Finnish. That is where the obscenities come from.

Here's a dump of character design doodles I won't do anything with. I like the concepts but can't see myself doing anything with these so if any of them inspire you, go ahead and take and tune them! ^^

Two different magpie A.I.s! Magpies shine with blues and purples and greens and that reminded me of technology stuff, so I wanted to make a robot/AI character but it didn't really go anywhere.

Saw a picture of a potoo bird and wanted to make a sonic one. Idk if she's actually crazy or just looks unsettling, but she has either creepy or emo vibes. (Idk if it's right to call a character like clinically crazy to make them scary? Is that acceptable?)

Anyway, she makes super loud and high pitched noises so don't make her angry. Also her mouth opens super wide.

Last one, she's a scottish fold cat who hides her real ears with a headband. That gave me e-girl vibes so she's a gamer girl or smth I guess. She could have so many colors she'd look like a 2014 deviantart character.

Idk, I didn't get that attached to these, but it's a shame to leave them in my sketchbook since I do like them. Lumi the magpie and the spider and frog characters are free real estate as well btw! As a reminder:

If any of them inspire you, just snatch and make them yours with any changes you like! If someone does, I'd love to see them!

#sonic oc #sonic original character #sonic character design #sonic oc ideas #sonic oc adoptables #sonic adoptables #SDB art #i don't think anyone will take these but i still hope i could inspire someone out there! #at least this is a reason for me to show them to yall lol
