Discussion Leader Presentation

Poststructuralism and Baudrillard:

A movement or theory (such as deconstruction) that views the descriptive premise of structuralism as contradicted by reliance on borrowed concepts or differential terms and categories and sees inquiry as inevitably shaped by discursive and interpretive practices. (Merriam Webster)

Baudrillard, "Simulacra and Simulation": Idea of different realities and simulations. Truth and Reality in the age of the digital world and what does language really convey and mean.

Postmodernism and Nietzche:

A late-20th-century style and concept in the arts, architecture, and criticism that represents a departure from modernism and has at its heart a general distrust of grand theories and ideologies as well as a problematical relationship with any notion of “art.” (Oxford Dictionary) 

Nietzche, "On Truth and Lying in an Extra-Moral Sense": Rejection of Universal Concepts, Truth is Made Up, What does language really convey and mean

Take Me to Church was released on September 13, 2013, over 10 years ago now. Hozier grew up in Ireland and as a catholic. Take Me to Church is a song meant to criticize the Catholic Church for its Homophobia. The lines in the song, “I’ll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife,” speaks to the hypocrisy of the church because when you tell your sins you are meant to free yourself from any “wrongdoings” of the world, but Hozier is saying that when you are truthful about your sins you will end up getting hurt in the end.  No matter how hard you try to do your best in the eyes of God you are still a sinner and nothing is going to change that. The lyrics right before that though, “I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies,” explains how people are willing to still worship and pray even when they know what they're being fed may not be true. The absurdity of religion and the hypocrisy, specifically about homophobia within religion is what Hozier is astonished by and it is why he created this video in the first place. The video was shot in black and white, subverting our expectations as viewers because we usually think that videos now should be in color, making it out of the ordinary. The black and white also emphasizes the sad and somber feeling of the song. This song questions religion and the institution of it as a whole, why do they get all the power and say about who can love one another. 

American Teenager came out April 21, 2022 as the third single off of Ethel Cain’s debut album, Preachers Daughter. Ethel Cain is a persona that trans women, Hayden Anhedonia uses to create music and tell stories. Her identity is important to the context of the song because it deals with the idea of the American Dream, Religion, and growing up in the United States, specifically in the South. This song questions the current norms of American Life, and Religion and what that does to people and questioning what these things really means. The lyrics, “Putting too much faith in the make-believe, And another high school football team,” suggests that Ethel is struggling with the idea of christianity and questioning her beliefs in something that’s been taught her whole life. The lyrics “And another high school football team,” juxtaposed with the lines before adds to the absurdity of  her life. The lines following, “The neighbor’s brother came home in a box, But he wanted to go, so maybe it was his fault, Another red heart taken by the American dream,” is referring to the military and how people pursue a career in the military believing that they’re fighting for freedom for this country, but instead are met with the unfortunate fate of death. Cain is poking at the idea of the American Dream and what it really means to live and die for your country. In the song she is constantly questioning higher powers and authorities, which is what Nietzsche does as well. Nietzche much like Cain is in constant search of the truth and what it really means to live the human experience. 

The American Flag, football field and bleachers, and the cheerleading uniform represent this idea of the American Identity and with the subject matter of the song playing with the video, questions what being an American Teenager really means. The use of an old video camera to create the music video was an aesthetic choice meant to humanize and make people think about the current realities of our world and how it could be different that what it is now.

At minutes 2:30 and 4:37 there are shots that replicate "Christina’s World", a classic American painting, by Andrew Wyeth. This emphasizes the Americana aesthetic, but also this sense of yearning for something more than what they have in their reality, in this case, the truth of this world. This song is also an interpolation of Journey's Song, Don't Stop Believin" which is a power anthem and if you know the song you know the lyrics, Don't stop believin', Hold on to that feelin', Streetlights, people," Which is the opposite of what Ethel is trying to convey. The irony of the interpolation adds to the message of the song.

Discussion Questions:

Do you believe music can transport you into another reality?

How did the creative choices of Black and White and Old Camera footage affect the way you understood the song and message?

What is the importance of knowing the person behind the piece of work?

Hello! I was lucky enough to have more interest in webcomic features than I thought. Today’s interview is with Merriam Hayden. Read it after the cut! 

Me: Hello! Would you share a little bit about yourself as a creator? 

Merriam: Sure! My name is Merriam Hayden. I went to college to study animation and did comics during that time because making a comic by myself was more feasible than pumping out animated shorts by myself.

Merriam: I'm a Lesbian in the Midwest as well.

Me: Could you give a short summary of Wrong Hand?

Merriam: Wrong Hand is the story of Lefty, who in a world where your Soulmate is determined by woman having marks on their left hand and men have matching marks on their right hands, has his own hand mark on the "wrong" hand. After meeting his Soulmate, Miles Write, Lefty learns more about "wrong handedness" and how there's many different ways of being "wrong" handed. The Wrong Hand is also the name of the bar where Miles works.

Me: Could you introduce the readers to your characters? Merriam: Lionel "Lefty" Rogers is the main character. He's a soon-to-be college grad who majored in accounting. He likes to play the Ukulele, but has no interest in pursuing music as a career.

Merriam: Miles Write is his Soulmate. He works nights at the Wrong Hand bar and days at the coffee shop called the Sun Dollar. Unlike Lefty, he's much more outgoing and open about his "wrong" handedness (even though he passes as "right" handed) .

Merriam: Sunni Syde is Miles' coworker at the Sun Dollar and a photographer. She dated guys in her early college days, but found the experience unsatisfying. She started dating women instead and found it much better. She's known to hang out at another bar called the Blue Cherry.

Merriam: Aura Easy is Sunni's soulmate and a detective. She had previously dated a girl when she was a teen, but they had a falling out. Aura is the one with the "correct" hand mark on her hand, but is much more butch than Sunni.

Merriam: Melanie Blanc is a blank handed woman who runs the Wrong Hand. She's not interested in dating or sex herself, but is always supportive of other Wrong Handed people who dream of meeting their Soulmates.

Merriam: Teresa Slater (deadname Theodore Slater) is a transwoman who realized she was trans much later in life and is roommates with Melanie.

Merriam: Sam Uno is a nonbinary comedian who always wears gloves and treats everything like a joke.

Merriam: Those are the main recurring characters.

Me: Who is your favorite character—and why? 

Merriam: Ah man picking a favorite of my own characters is like picking my favorite child. if I have to choose I think I'll choose Sunni. She's very cute and very passionate about what she wants to do with her life, which is to be a photographer even if she has to work half between a coffee shop and sometimes weekends at her father's restaurant (Eggbert's, it's a breakfast place).

Me: Who is your least favorite character—and why?

Merriam: Chad Prickson. This character is not the most evil villain in the world or anything, but he's engineered to be an absolute jerk to everyone. He's Miles' previous ex, rich and self-centered, who treats people like garbage.

Me: Can you offer insight into how you’ve developed your story and your creative process over the years? 

Merriam: Okay. Wrong Hand actually started off as a thing I vaguely kicked around in college a few years ago. A good friend of mine were talking about the concept of Soulmate stories and how'd we do them. She took a more fantasy/serious route with it and I wanted to go for a more lighthearted comedic thing. However, I didn't give it too much thought beyond three characters: Lefty, Miles, and Ms. Blanc. Miles originally worked at the Wrong Hand and ran a hot dog stand. However, my senior year of college I did an independent study. So, I decided to revisit this idea as an animated short. My teacher at the time suggested I change the hot dog stand to a coffee shop and of course I had to come up with more characters to flesh out the world. Sunni and Teresa and Sam wouldn't exist in this world without the short being made. It's not the best in the world, but it took me a year and I had to do it by myself. And I kicked the idea around with a good friend of mine (different one) and he helped me beef up the characters and come up with backstory. We even decided to have the setting be a fictional version of Minneapolis with Lefty growing up in Duluth. Having someone I can bounce ideas off of actually helps me a lot, too.

Me: What is your favorite part of the creative process? The least favorite part? 

Merriam: Honestly, I really love planning and world building and writing stories--dialogue  especially because I am really funny so I'm great at coming up with dialogue. My least favorite is thumbnailing because it's very tedious and slow and sometimes I can breeze through a page and know exactly how to lay it out and sometimes I get stumped by things. I do depend on thumbnailing because I would be lost while making pages without them, but making them can feel like a chore sometimes

Me: The idea of soulmates being determined by their hand marks is really intriguing. Are you going to go into the concept in more detail? Or are you going to focus more on the “slice of life” experiences?

Merriam: Slice of Life is the main focus of Wrong Hand, but I do also want to explore the idea in detail. Love and Free Will are major themes in a lot of the stories too because it's not like people haven't been falling in love or marrying people who aren't their Soulmate. And sometimes people actively do seek out their Soulmate and sometimes they don't.

Me: Is there a significance to each of the character’s colors?

Merriam: Not particularly, no. I just decided that if this was going to be a mundane world I wanted to give it a visual style that stood out. Part of me wishes I had put more thought into it, but not really. Lefty and Miles are blue and red. Sunni and her family are pink. There are two characters, Jacques Trooper and Zelda Worm, who are blue and pink and are kinda the token straight couple who are friends with Lefty, but other than that I didn't put much thought into the characters being a particular color.

Me: How have readers reacted to your characters and story thus far? Are there any challenges that you’ve had to overcome when working on Wrong Hand?

Merriam: Mostly I had more challenges with technical stuff while working on the short. Though as far as content is concerned the overall response has been super positive and people relate to Lefty and get a lot of the little snap shot comics that revolve around him having problems with his identity as a "wrong" handed male because his hand mark is on the "girl" hand. I haven't gotten into a lot of other characters backstories or hangups yet though, so we'll see how people respond in the future. Me: What do you want readers to take away from your story? 

Merriam: I want them to take away that love may be complicated and life may complicate love, but it's definitely something worth seeking out and cultivating. Not just romantic or sexual pursuits, but friendships and familial relationships as well.

Me: You mention being lesbian. How has your sexual identity influenced your story?

Merriam: Well Wrong Hand is basically a not-so-subtle metaphor for being some kind of queer. some wrong handed characters are gay, some bi, some trans, some nonbinary. All my work has some kind of LGBT slant to it because so much media made about or for people like me is either super obscure or really depressing and I want to create hopeful and happy stories even if I do touch about the less savory aspects of things (have plans to touch upon things like how conversion therapy and things like that work in this world, but I do want people to come away from my work feeling good about themselves). 

Me: Who is your “intended” audience? 

Merriam: My intended audience is anyone who wants to find LGBT content that's hopeful.

Me: Do you plan to pursue other mediums for your story (like print or podcast)?

Merriam: I hadn't considered a podcast. I would love to print a physical copy of the comics someday and, of course, something animated. Like a feature film or even a series! I think an animated series would be awesome.

Me: Do you have any advice you want to share with other artists and writers? 

Merriam: Lists are useful for planning a script and having a specific notebook/journal with comic stuff is a good idea.

Me: What are your tools of the trade? Any special software? 

Merriam: I mostly use Clip Studio Paint because I can animate with it as well as do illustration. I don't have a specific kind of pen or paper I use for roughing out pages though. I usually draw the pages out traditionally first and then scan the pages to pretty up in Clip Studio Paint.

Me: When does Wrong Hand update?

Merriam: I like to update it at least twice a month, but right now my current day job makes updating on the regular hard. I've worked out getting a more regular schedule though so I'm hopeful that I'll get back to updating more frequently.

Me: Where can readers access your comic? 

Merriam: Tapastic and Comic Fury. I have a longer story planned that I'm currently working on  and I'll probably start posting the single pages on Comic Fury before Tapastic.

Me: Anything else you want to share? Shout outs? 

Merriam: I love my friends and I love all the people who read my comic.

Follow Merriam for more art and life updates on her Twitter, Tumblr, and Instagram. She’ll also be attending Planet ComicCon, Smallville ComicCon,  and TopCon. Merriam may also be at Kansas City Comic Con, but is not sure yet.

Teorias da Conspiração nas Narrativas

Robert J. Shiller, no livro “Narrative Economics: How Stories Go Viral & Drive Major Economic Events” (Princeton University Press; 2019), afirma: outras espécies têm cultura, mas as narrativas não transmitem essa cultura. Como outros animais aprendem habilidades fundamentais de sobrevivência, como temer predadores específicos?

Experimentos mostraram os macacos serem geneticamente predispostos a temer cobras, e os pássaros são geneticamente predispostos a ter medo de falcões. Além disso, experimentos mostraram macacos e pássaros adquirirem medo quando observam outros atacando sua própria espécie. Eles também adquirem medo, mesmo medo duradouro, quando observam circunstâncias capazes de suscitarem medo entre outras pessoas em seu grupo, mesmo não ocorrendo ataques.

Mas esse mecanismo de transmissão cultural é imperfeito, e a capacidade de transferir histórias com a linguagem é exclusivamente humana. O poder das narrativas humanas em inspirar o medo reside no fato de a informação pode ser transmitida sem qualquer observação do estímulo indutor de medo. Se a narrativa é forte o suficiente para gerar uma resposta emocional saliente, pode produzir uma reação forte, como uma resposta instintiva de luta ou fuga.

Também universais são normas de conversas educadas. Elas facilitam a transmissão de narrativas. A polidez básica envolve ações simples, como olhar para a pessoa com quem está falando e dar alguma indicação de olá no início da conversa e adeus no final.

Essas normas tendem a lisonjear a outra parte. Eles estão tão arraigados, como os experimentos demonstraram, a ponto de as pessoas também serem educadas ao conversar com computadores.

Os visitantes de qualquer sociedade humana observam pessoas de frente para o outro, sentadas ao redor da televisão ou da fogueira, conversando – e, mais recentemente, twittar e postar em outras mídias sociais – para aprender as reações dos outros, buscar feedback possível de confirmar ou desconfirmar seus pensamentos.

A mente humana se esforça para alcançar uma compreensão duradoura dos eventos. Transforma-os, assim, em uma narrativa incorporada nas interações sociais.

[Há uma busca humana de atribuição de sentido racional às estórias vivenciadas como a história tivesse uma causalidade a ser descoberta.]

As narrativas populares costumam ter um tema subjacente “nós contra eles”, um tom maniqueísta capaz revela o mal ou o absurdo de certos personagens da história. As piadas costumam ser às custas de outras pessoas – membros de algum outro grupo. Em casos extremos, eles podem se concentrar em eventos como evidência de uma conspiração imaginada.

O historiador Richard Hofstadter oferece muitos exemplos de teorias infundadas da conspiração na história dos Estados Unidos. As narrativas tendem a mostrar “uma preocupação quase tocante com fatos reais”, apesar de muitas vezes serem quase absurdas.

Obviamente, é racional as pessoas estarem atentas às conspirações, porque a história está cheia de conspirações reais. Mas a mente humana parece ter um interesse embutido em conspirações, uma tendência a formar uma identidade pessoal e uma lealdade a amigos com base no desejo de se proteger das conspirações percebidas pelos outros.

Essa predisposição parece estar relacionada aos padrões humanos de reciprocidade e de vingança contra inimigos presumidos, duas tendências consideradas relevantes para o comportamento econômico em termos de disposição de ceder barganhas ou vontade de punir comportamentos injustos, mesmo quando isso signifique perda econômica.

As palavras narrativa e história são frequentemente usadas de forma intercambiável. Mas, de acordo com o dicionário on-line Merriam-Webster, uma narrativa é “uma maneira de apresentar ou entender uma situação ou série de eventos de modo a refletir e promover um ponto de vista ou conjunto de valores específico”.

Portanto, uma narrativa é uma forma particular de uma história, ou histórias, sugerindo os elementos importantes e seu significado para o receptor. As narrativas geralmente assumem a forma de uma recontagem de eventos, reais ou ficcionais, embora muitas vezes os eventos específicos descritos sejam pouco mais de pedaços capazes de promoverem impactos emocionais para iluminar um conceito e o tornar mais contagioso.

A tendência humana de formar narrativas simples em torno das cadeias mais complexas de eventos infecta até as mentes mais analíticas.

Garry Kasparov, grande mestre internacional de xadrez, comentou por experiência própria: “O maior problema é até os grandes jogadores caírem na armadilha de ver cada jogo de xadrez como uma história, uma narrativa coerente com começo, meio e fim, com algumas reviravoltas ao longo do caminho. E, é claro, uma moral no final da história”.

O historiador Hayden White enfatizou a distinção entre uma narrativa histórica e uma crônica histórica. Esta apenas lista as sequências de eventos: “A demanda por fechamento na história histórica é uma demanda, sugiro, por significado moral, uma demanda para as sequências de eventos reais serem avaliadas quanto à sua significância como elementos de um drama moral.”

Os economistas tendem a escrever teorias como se um ditador benevolente pudesse implementar um plano específico para alcançar o maior bem-estar social. Mas não temos esse planejador totalitário. Temos pessoas capazes de ser egoístas, altruístas ou ambas. Essas pessoas podem ser influenciadas por histórias.

@zlinked-gaming what you are describing is an extremely oversimplified view of the political spectrum that only holds up if you’re ten years old just learning about these things for the very first time

first of all, hayden already explained this pretty well, but apparently we have to go into more detail

fascism is inherently unbridled, absolute nationalism. the definition of fascism by several sources: 

the Oxford Dictionary: "an authoritarian and nationalistic right wing system of government and social organization".

wikipedia: “ Fascism /ˈfæʃɪzəm/ is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism,[1][2] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and control of industry and commerce,[3] that came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I, before it spread to other European countries. Opposed to liberalism, Marxism, and anarchism, fascism is usually placed on the far-right within the traditional left–right spectrum. “

merriam-webster: “a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition”

what you describe is only one aspect of the political spectrum: the economic spectrum.

when we are in first grade we are given the most basic building blocks to understand how the political spectrum works, and it goes like this: 

left-wing advocates personal freedom at the expensive of economic freedom

right-wing advocates the loss of personal freedom at the expense of economic freedom

far-left and far-right simply has no personal or economic freedoms

this is a horribly oversimplified view of the world only meant to give us the most basic building blocks to understand politics as a child, which you build upon over time. you cannot advocate if something is “left-wing” or “right-wing” by the size of the government alone: that’s irrelevant in this discussion. if you’re ten that might be all there is to it for you, 

fascism carries within it an inherent opposition to liberal democracy and traditionally liberal values, a consequence of leaning on the loss of “personal freedom” over “economic freedom” (not that fascism has that either). however, fascism is historically characterized by extreme nationalism (once again, right-wing) with emphasis on race, the pride of the nation, the military, and the state: the loss of personal freedom as ordained by the state by the right-wing spectrum.

far-right government advocates the loss of personal freedoms. authoritarianism is characterized by strong central power and limited political freedoms. individual freedoms are subordinate to the state and there is no constitutional accountability under an authoritarian regime. this is done by pushing the loss of personal freedoms to its limit to control its masses: this is right-wing. while this can exist in far-left governments as well, authoritarianism is not inherently left or right-wing, although fascism is a far-right ideology heavily dependent on nationalism

now, we can go a lot more into detail, but the moral is this: the claim that fascism is “inherently left-wing” is very clearly untrue. not only do you only look at the economic spectrum of an already imperfect system, but you do so with the perspective of a first grader writing his first paper in school on politics.

i’m not going to write a ten page thesis, but your claims of “fascism is inherently left-wing and anarchism is inherently right-wing” is wrong. as far anarchism, i won’t go into detail because my friend already explained this: 

However anarchism by definition cannot be right-wing– libertarian capitalism holds on dearly to the idea of private property and corporations having free reign- but by the actual functionality and intent of corporations in a capitalistic system, where would the control and prevention of exploitation be on corporations? And what would determine and maintain private property? Any answer to this would lead to a defacto state, a group or party who’s sole purpose is to protect consumers or enforce property rights, thus resulting in the continuation of exploitation and oppression of workers and the disenfranchised. Private property cannot exist under anarchism, it’s as simple as that.

your views are based on an extremely oversimplified version of the left/right-wing spectrum while only keeping economic freedom in mind, without accounting for social climates and nationalism in your arguments, making it inherently flawed and honestly? silly at best. 

anarchism is fundamentally an extreme far-left ideology that advocates the destruction of private property and the state by destroying the states that enforce private property and government. fascism is a far-right ideology that advocates state control of personal freedoms through right-wing nationalism and social manipulation.

thats why they are considered left-wing and right-wing.

tl;dr: this feels like when MLP porn blogs suddenly start trying to debate politics out of nowhere without any idea what they’re talking about, except you’re a yugioh tcg blog

Yamato Kasukawa | Creating Scientific Research Poetry

Science poetry or scientific verse is a specialized poetic category that uses science as its subject. Composed by researchers and also nonscientists, scientific research poets are typically passionate viewers and also appreciators of science and "science issues." Scientific research poetry may be discovered in anthologies, in collections, in sci-fi magazines that occasionally include verse, in other publications and journals. Numerous science fiction publications, including on-line publications, such as Odd Horizons, typically publish sci-fi poetry, one more kind of science poetry. Naturally sci-fi poetry is a somewhat different style. Online there is the Scientific Research Poetry Facility for those interested in science poetry, and also for those curious about sci-fi verse The Science Fiction Verse Association. On top of that, there's Sci-fi Poetry Handbook as well as Ultimate Sci-fi Verse Guide, all discovered online. Odd Horizons has released the sci-fi verse of Joanne Merriam, Gary Lehmann and Mike Allen.

  As for scientific research verse, scientific research or scientific poets like sci-fi poets may also release collections of poetry in virtually any type of stylistic format. Scientific research or scientific poets, like other poets, have to recognize the "art and craft" of poetry, and also science or clinical poetry appears in all the poetic forms: totally free verse, empty verse, metrical, rhymed, unrhymed, abstract and concrete, ballad, significant monologue, story, lyrical, and so on. All the poetic tools are in use likewise, from alliteration to apostrophe to pun to paradox and also understatement, to every poetic diction, numbers of speech as well as rhythm, etc. Also esoteric clinical poetry is possible. In his anthology, The World Treasury of Physics, Astronomy, and also Math, editor Timothy Ferris aptly consists of an area qualified "The Verse of Science." Claims Ferris in the intro to this area, "Scientific research (or the 'natural approach' where science advanced) has long offered poets with raw material, inspiring some to commend clinical ideas as well as others to react against them."

  Such greats as Milton, Blake, Wordsworth, Goethe either commended or "excoriated" science and/or a combination of both. This continued into the twentieth century with such poets as Marianne Moore, T. S. Eliot, Robinson Jeffers, Robert Frost and Robert Hayden (e.g. "Full Moon"--" the fantastic challenger of rocket specialists") and also a lot of the lesser known poets, that however maintain a poetic reaction to scientific matters. States Ferris, "This is not to state that researchers should try to emulate poets, or that poets ought to turn proselytes for scientific research ... But they require each various other, as well as the globe requires both." Consisted of in his anthology along with the very best scientific prose/essays are the poets Walt Whitman (" When I Listened to the Learn 'd Astronomer"), Gerard Manley Hopkins "(" I resemble a Slip of Comet ..."), Emily Dickinson (" Arcturus"), Robinson Jeffers (" Star-Swirls"), Richard Ryan (" Galaxy"), James Clerk Maxwell (" Molecular Evolution"), John Updike (" Cosmic Gall"), Diane Ackerman (" Space Shuttle") and others.

  Certainly those writing clinical poetry like those writing science fiction need not praise every one of scientific research, yet scientific research nonetheless the subject, and also there is often a greater relationship in between poetry and science than either poets and/or scientists admit. Creativity and also love can be in both, as can the intellectual and the mathematical. Both can be aesthetic as well as logical. Or both can be nonaesthetic and also nonlogical, relying on the sort of scientific research and the type of verse.

Science verse takes it subject from clinical dimensions to clinical symbols to time & area to biology to chemistry to physics to astronomy to planet science/geology to weather forecasting to environmental scientific research to computer science to engineering/technical scientific research. It might likewise take its subject from scientists themselves, from Brahmagypta to Einstein, from Galileo to Annie Cannon. It may speak to certain types of scientists generally as Goethe "True Enough: To the Physicist" in the Ferris compilation. (Succeeding poets discussed are likewise from this compilation.).

  Science verse may make use of lots of kinds or any kind of form from lyrical to narrative to sonnet to significant talk to totally free verse to light verse to haiku to villanelle, from poetry for kids or grownups or both, for the scientist for the nonscientist or both. John Frederick Nims has actually written as an example, "The Observatory Ode." (" Deep Space: We 'd like to recognize.") There are rhymes that rhyme, rhymes that do not rhythme. There's "concrete poetry" such as Annie Dillard's "The Windy Earth" in which the rhyme in the shape of a planet, from "pole" to "pole," a creative rhyme. "Chaos Concept" even comes to be the subject of verse as in Wallace Stevens' "The Connoisseur of Mayhem.".

  As well as what of your scientific research and/or scientific rhyme? Consider all the strategies of verse as well as all the methods of science. What viewpoint should you use? Third individual? First person, a dramatic talk? Does a celebrity talk? Or deep space itself? Does an acoustic wave talk? Or a micrometer? Can you objectify radio astronomy?

  What are the major themes, the rhythms? What figures of speech, allegories, similes, metaphor, can be derived from scientific research. What is your perspective toward scientific research and also these clinical issues?

  Read. Revise. Assume. Proofread. Change once more. Shall you compose of evolution, of the atom, of magnetism? Of quanta, of the galaxies, of the rate of audio, of the speed of light? Of Kepler's legislations? Shall you compose of the background of scientific research? Of clinical information?

  Review all the scientific research you can.

  Review all the verse you can.

  You are a poet.

  You are a researcher.

  What have you to claim of the astronomer, the comet, of arcturus, of star-sirls, of galaxies, of molecular evolution, of atomic architecture, of "planck time" to allude to various other poetic titles.

This week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Niina Eveliina, creator of the webcomic Numb. Check it out after the cut. 

Me: Can you share a little about yourself as an artist?

Niina: I see myself as a storyteller more than anything. Art is a perfect way to bring those images to life. I truly enjoy the eternal process of learning art and seeing the improvement. Comics have always been a major part of my self expression, but I'm also sucker for just drawing and painting sole illustrations. Mostly traditional stuff even though I'm slowly trying to take over digital as well.

Me: Could you give a brief summary of Numb?

Niina: Numb is a peculiar tale of different people who all yearn for connection, in some form or another. Levi and Susan are lifelong friends who seem to have drifted apart since those long summer days. One thing that specially rubs them the wrong way is the mysterious case around their friend Tim, who's not around anymore.  Then there's Nikita, mischievous ghost who only Levi is able to see for reasons yet known. However, all of them are equally unaware of an otherworldly being, a sinister one, that's lurking closer and closer.

Me: Who is your favorite character--and why?

Niina: Levi! He has that childlike wonder in him that really hasn't had a chance to shine yet in the comic, but wait and see! He's a total sweetheart.

Me: Who is your least favorite character--and why?

Niina: Oh man...I know this is corny, but I cannot pick one. I really do love them all. I don't think I'd be able to write a character and continue having them around if there'd be even a tiny hint of dislike in my heart for them. And by this I don't mean they're all such a good people and deserve all the hugs. But I do love them as characters; they're all very interesting and fun for me to work with.

Me: What is your favorite part of the creative process? The least favorite part?

Niina: Favourite parts are definitely storyboarding, drawing the expressions and coloring (I used to hate it now it gives me life). Least favourite: Lettering and editing.

Me: Is it harder or easier to do your comic traditionally?

Niina: Easier. I find it way harder to make good looking digital art.

Me: How have readers reacted to your characters and story thus far? Are there any challenges that you’ve had to overcome when working on Numb?

Niina: So far based of what I've heard, Amy, Susan, Levi and Nikita are someone's favorite. It makes me happy to see so many of them are being liked. It makes me feel I've succeeded on making them all their own person. As for the current happenings on the story, there has been few upsets, but understanding ones. The story goes where it's gotta go. Challenges would be grammar and doing dialogue. I'm not a native speaker so it can come off as awkward sometimes, but I have helpful commenters who point out the mistakes so I can fix them fast! Other struggle is always with the art. It's improving, but I still have long way to go.

Me: Do you translate into English from Finnish when working on your comic? Or do you write directly in English?

Niina: Directly in English. It's easier that way since the languages are so different.

Me: What do you want readers to take away from your story?

Niina: Whatever they get from it, really. I like it when people come up with their own interpretations so I avoid making too on-point story just to make speculating more interesting. I feel best stories are those that leave you guessing a bit.

Me: What made you decide to pursue webcomics as a medium to tell your story?

Niina: Well I felt it was the fastest way to get the story out there, I was dying for getting to tell it! Also I know the story is a bit.. weird. So I'm not sure if I would have change with a publisher. Maybe I will try it once I've made enough pages.

Niina: Another thing is that I think this is excellent way to build your audience and get readers that are easy to interact with. That's my favourite part of webcomics.

Me: Who is your “intended” audience?

Niina: Hmmm.. fans of a bit weirder stories I'd say! 

Me: Do you have any advice you want to share with other artists and writers?

Niina: Produce quality content and be on schedule with it. Also patience, some things take time.

Me: What tools do you use to create your comic?

Niina: Pencils and watercolors with A3 paper. After scanning I do the final adjustments and lettering in Photoshop.

Me: When does Numb update?

Niina:  Every Monday and Wednesday.

You can read Numb at its main site, Tapastic, SmackJeeves, and Web Toon. Follow Niina at her social media sites: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or Tumblr. You can also check out her portfolio site here!
