DIRECTOR'S NOTE • Nov. 2023

You can't go home. This play has a particular care for and interest in its victims. The resident

inciting event is endless. tragedy is much more concerned with footnotes than it is with gods.

well acquainted with what happens afterward, storytellers claim they can't diverge from what's

written: resist. rage against what must be. tell a story about war without talking

about love. survive its aftermath. fail to find resolution. make this suffering

a home. There's no breaking this chain— fate, as always, gets its way.

Poetry assembled from the program of an Oresteia production. Nov. 2023.

#p #analog #oscillating wildly between liking and hating this but you have to get the gunk out to get going again #the last line...the rest of the poem has to be REALLY solid for it to work and im. not sure it is. but its here lol #bad 'scan' quality too but i am too impatient to wait to get to a real scanner #what i do like about this one is the enjambment #i think its some of my best

Hyperfyxation going strong so here's some memorable quotes of the jarchivist and mr. m.k. blackwood + my thru-seasons design chart

#the magnus archives #tma #jonathan sims #martin blackwood #the archivist #magpod #tma fanart #my style is inconsistent #cant decide how to draw jons jaw #love his season one kickable nerd energy #that then got thrown under the bus #martin in my brain oscillates between most huggable creature alive and stone cold bitch #“what's your darkest secret” really did it for me in terms of makin me REALLY hooked on the podcast. the WOAH moment

katara discovered something very important and somewhat appalling that day.

#id in alt text #avatar the last airbender #atla #katara #zuko #katara&zuko #sokkaxzuko #zukka #yeah what the hell i'll tag it #art #mart #to be clear the important discovery and the appalling discovery are separate but related #yet another [one sided zukka comic simply for the punchline of katara's reaction] comic from yours truly #she oscillates between teasing zuko about his crush and wishing it was on ANYONE ELSE #(and for what it's worth she still suspects toph)

when things ended with former shows and interests (either cause of shit writing or cancellation), I always found it hard to go back to rewatches because it kinda felt like pressing down on a wound yknow? Happy to report that this is not true of ofmd and I experienced the same queer joy when I rewatched my favourite bits today and went down the rabbit hole of my gifsets and art that the fandom has created, weirdly healing actually ❤️

#Having decided to skip the bargaining stage (but more power to those who're trying) #I keep oscillating between immense sadness and anger #Good news tho is that a rewatch helps so so much #ofmd #meow speaks

What does it mean to be Sex/Romance Ambivalent?

The majority of people on the aspec are aware of favorable, indifferent, etc. when talking about personal stances toward romance/sex. But what about ambivalent? I don’t see people mentioning it nearly as much. I’ll give a brief explanation for those who don’t know what romance/sex ambivalent is.

Since I’m sex-ambivalent, I’ll use my personal experiences as an example. Sex-ambivalent is a personal stance on sex. Your feelings toward sex may fluctuate and be unclear. (Everything I say can be applied to romance-ambivalent as well with some obvious tweaking). Your personal stance could range from the feeling of being indifferent to averse, favorable to repulsed, indifferent to repulsed, whatever. Personally, I fall anywhere from feeling like indifferent to repulsed.

How we feel may vary depending on mood or what types of acts are being performed. For some they may be more comfortable when it’s with fictional characters. Or maybe they’re more comfortable with different people. I may be in a in a mood and be rather repulsed by the idea of anything sexual, but when I’m in a better mood it doesn’t bother me as much. There are many other reason why your feelings towards romance/sex may fluctuate, but this is just a general overview.

I may occasionally read erotic fanfiction and enjoy it, but I can’t even stand the thought of actual p*rn. Sometimes I don’t even want to read any kind do fanfiction like that. While I do enjoy certain types of more erotic fanfiction, I only enjoy it when certain types of acts are performed. Usually I just like a passionate make-out that gets a bit heated. Maybe some stuff that gets more suggestive too. But anything that involves actual more intimate parts on top or bottom gets an immediate “Nope” for me and I suddenly get more uncomfortable. I can’t stand the idea of intercourse or read about, but I can be totally okay with other “less intense” sexual acts.

I also want to point being being greyace is not equivalent to being sex ambivalent. I’m a black stripe ace meaning I experience no sexual attraction, but I am also sex-ambivalent. You can be greyace and sex ambivalent, be black stripe and ambivalent, and even be allo and sex-ambivalent! Ambivalent isn’t just a way to describe aros/aces, it can apply to anyone no matter your orientation.

Romance/sex-oscillating is also another slightly different term that describes how feelings towards the concept of romance/sex fluctuate/change over time. The factor for changing feelings when your oscillating is the passage of time v.s the factor for changing when your ambivalent is going to things like mood, whether or not it’s the written word, fiction or non-fiction, the types of acts being performed, etc. It depends on the person what external factors may change their feelings. Some people use both labels, some people, like me, don’t, and that’s okay. I apologize if I didn’t explain oscillating well enough. I do not identify with the label myself or feel that way, so please tell me if I could improve upon anything said.

All of this to say, some people feelings on romance/sex are very complicated and don’t fit super neatly into one single stance or they can fluctuate over time. You may feel differently about different situations than I do, and that’s okay. All us ambivalents aren’t the same after all!

Shaking on Impact

When objects impact water with enough speed, they create a smooth-walled, air-filled cavity around and behind them. Here, the impacting object is one with some give, like a spring.  (Image credit: J. Antolik et al.) Read the full article

Old book fans really hating on the show, huh? As if we’re ever getting a Lestat more book accurate than Sam Thyne Reid??? I’ve been reading these books since I was 9 and I couldn’t love the show more!!!! You know I don’t know what it is anymore that they’re even complaining about if not the inclusion of bipoc stories? Is it really the pastiche aesthetic that y’all are gnawing bones over? It wasn’t even accurate in the movie!!!! If y’all have any fucking patience we’re getting timeline accurate flashbacks as soon as season 2!!! Lestat is book accurate, and I’m gonna fucking say it, so are Louis and Armand!!! Maybe y’all just haven’t read the books in a while, but whatever nostalgia y’all are salivating for is just that, it doesn’t really have anything to do with Anne’s writing. I’m rereading TVL and PL and nothing in my brain has had to shift from the show to the book, I’m seeing and hearing Sam Reid and Assad Zaman. Y’all really wanted a redhead minor as Armand? Nobody cares! Assad embodies everything that makes Armand’s character. Honestly some of you sound like the same assholes who told me I couldn’t be goth because I was black. Either that or you just don’t understand what adaptation actually means. Either it’s racism or frankly racist leaning and salivating for an ✨aesthetic✨. And y’all better not come crawling when season 3 comes around just because it’s suddenly more palatable and accurate to you. Disgusting!

#I’m so tired #if the changes are just too much for you then fine #but don’t pretend the show is wrong or bad somehow #it just doesn’t fit your narrow view of vc #a series that was always oscillating and evolving in tone and aesthetic #show louis IS book louis #just with added complexity that book louis sorely needed #sam reid was born to play lestat #we’ll never get another that is this passionate about the source material or who loves Lestat more #iwtv #interview with the vampire #the vampire chronicles #amc iwtv #vc #anne rice

I like the idea of the Toa Mata being... around when needed, but for the most part just kinda going off and doing their own thing since they're not really beholden to any rules. It's a very special thing to actually see one of the Toa chilling out somewhere

#this is kinda ignoring the fact that given the timeframe the series actually happens over #means they were likely only the mata for a few months at most #bionicle #toa #toa mata #lewa #lego #bonkle #digital #art #sketchbook #i can also see the various toa being different levels of social #like gali pohatu and tahu hanging out around their villages more #kopaka being a very rare sight on purpose and onua being a rare sight on accident #lewa i think oscillates between being really social and wanting super alone time with basically no in-between #by the time they become the nuva they become much more active role models and social figures for the matoran

Inspired by @jinguangshanhateblog's polls!

Do you play a musical instrument? Do you have a sense of rhythm? Do you know where the tuning pegs should rest with a guqin? (hint, it's not on the table...) Can you tell the sound of one instrument from another?

Vote and see who will be crowned worst cdrama musician! Write-ins and video/photographic evidence very welcome! If you voted for another instrument, for all guqins, or for all flutes, please let me know in the tags or comments!

#word of honor #nirvana in fire #guardian #the untamed #love between fairy and devil #legend of fei #the disguiser #the blood of youth #for guqin playing there is an exception for certain scenes in the untamed #and also this one scene in love like the galaxy which oscillates between crimes and no crimes #poll

Au where Kamski is a merman too.

AU where everyone’s a merperson!!!!

(Kamski still has a weird, creepy fascination with Connor, unfortunately for him)

#kamcon #hankcon #lab merman au #dbh #detroit become human #dbh kamski #dbh connor #dbh hank #glass art #noodle art #noodle talk #I’ll be honest drawing this was kinda sexci #not sure what kinda fish kamski is…I modelled him after #a red lionfish because of the poisonous spines #I headcanon that he’s far weaker than Connor physically #but those toxic fins are definitely a threat #also oscillating between him being a shadowy self-imposed outcast or the heir to some extremely powerful clan #either way he loves toying with his prey

#why do him and stan trade off the personality trait of caring what ppl think of u #like being a trend follower or being insecure just oscillates between the two of them #like the ping pong computer game #south park #kyle broflovski

Since mirror Arthur is so perceptive. Does he know what caused mir falspars damage lol

He thinks he does, at least in general terms. Hard to confirm anything when DMK weasels his way out of any conversation involving it, and Mir Falspar more or less just leaves.

Regardless of the hurdles though, Mir Arthur will continue playing whichever game is necessary to get what he wants by the end.
