My Life For One More Day

Pairing: Andi Deris x OC

Warnings: none

Author’s Note: this is the official first installment of my series of fics with Andi!! The story goes by the same name, and I’ll keep posting in order from here. As soon as I get my personal computer fixed, proper cuts will be inserted to the fic. As always, special thanks to @anotherhitandrun for always being my biggest cheerleader, my best friend, my rock, and my favorite person. ❤️

Tagging: @wonderous-lawnmower @wish-i-could-fly-like-superman (no pressure at all, just tagging in case you’re curious!)

—

Marie huffed and sat herself down on the front stairs of her family home, wincing at the thought of leaving her mother to deal with her upset grandson alone. When Marie had tried to put Isaac to bed that night, he couldn’t bear to have her leave his side. Between his screams and cries for her and her mother shrugging it off and handling it herself, Marie felt as if she had failed that day. Work was going to be nothing but a headache.

She trudged along the well worn path to the La Selva, the resort bar that she worked in the evenings to support herself, her mother, and Isaac. The mile walk was peaceful and always easy for her to complete, but tonight, she felt like curling up on one of the benches and putting her head down.

As she got to work, she tossed her purse down under the counter and perched herself up on her barstool that she kept behind the counter for herself. Marie scanned the bar, making note of anything that might have been out of place. She folded her arms and crossed her legs tightly, letting the tension build up as much as she could before releasing it all over again. It was just going to be another night.

“Sweet Maria!!”

Marie groaned loudly as Anya strolled into the bar with a sing-song voice.

“I told you to stop calling me that!!”

Anya blew her a kiss and waltzed over to clock in. “How’s the little man today?”

Marie huffed. “He screamed the entire time I tried to put him to bed tonight. I was ready to call off and stay but mom insisted she do it and I go.”

“Just not the night for him?”

Marie shook her head. She leaned her arm against the counter and propped her head on her hand. “No. And I feel so bad because nothing I did worked. Even the things that always do.”

Anya tilted her head to meet her gaze. “Hey. You do everything for them. Mom can take over.”

Marie huffed and leaned her head down on the counter. “She doesn’t have to.”

Anya kicked the stool she was sitting on. “Let your mom help more. Keep her busy too.”

She shrugged. “Mama says she doesn’t mind, but some days I can see she’s just so tired.

“She’d do anything for you.”

“Yeah, and sometimes that scares me.”

Anya hummed in agreement.

“Think we’re in for an interesting night?” Marie changed the topic of discussion.

“Maybe one of us will get laid this week.”

“Maybe it’ll finally be me.” Marie rolled her eyes knowingly.

“You damn whore!”

Anya gasped and snickered, hightailing it away from Marie’s playful slap as the latter stood up to chase after her. “Pendeja!!”

“I love you!!”

Marie shook her head in return. She loved her too, she really did. Even when the cheerfulness was nauseating.

—

The night started off without a hitch for the both of them. Marie knew how to work smart and quick, and she and Anya had an unspoken language that kept things rolling as smoothly as possible, so long as no patrons were arguing about significant others, or with them.

Marie noticed out of the corner of her eye, a group of five men enter the bar. They clearly were not from there, meaning someone was going to drink the other under the table. She sighed and carried on until Anya rushed back to the table with an “oh shit” look on her face that couldn’t be ignored.

“If you’re ever actually serious about sleeping around again, you’ve got company.”

Marie raised an eyebrow. “Tell me you’re joking.”

“He’s got on pants only a rockstar would wear. You might want to give it a shot.”

Marie turned her head only to be yanked back to Anya’s gaze forcefully.

“Don’t be obvious!”

“I’m not being obvious, I’m doing my job!” Marie snipped back at Anya, who shook her head.

“Darling, it’s already bad.”

Marie cocked her head as Anya shot her a knowing gaze and walked off. She looked up and across the bar to the group that had just come in and laid eyes on the man in question

Anya was right. A blond haired man was staring hard. Marie rolled her shoulders back as she met his gaze, which was frozen in fear. At least she thought it was fear. She felt a little bad for how startled he looked, he was sure to be mocked by his friends, whom she noticed had the large tray of drinks that she had just made. Marie gave her own small smile in return and the man blinked quickly as if he didn’t realize he had been staring. He returned the smile nervously, but with genuine interest before turning back to his group of friends.

Marie tried to listen to the group. They weren’t speaking Spanish or English, the two most common languages to hear in the bar. Not French. Not a Nordic Language. German? Danish? Dutch? She wasn’t sure. The man that had been staring at her had caught a few glimpses of Marie, but didn’t say much as he focused on her and his cigar. Marie admittedly enjoyed the attention.

His blond hair and blue eyes stood out from the rest of his friends, all of which had long hair like he. Marie sensed a good nature from him. Something genuine. If she hadn’t been as busy as she was she would have attempted to strike up a conversation with the group. Maybe he wanted to say something, but couldn’t. Was there a language barrier?

—

Hours later, and many drinks later, one of the members of the party came up to approach Marie at the bar, not the one she anticipated speaking to, but kind mannered and attractive nonetheless.

“I’ve been here to this island quite a few times, but not to this quite lovely place.”

“I suppose you ran you off places to try?” Marie shrugged the nice comment off.

“Have to explore the whole Canary Islands! And what is your name?”

“I’m Marie.” She planted her arms in a suggestive position in front of him. “And you are?”

“Markus! Pleasure, dear.” He shoved his hand out right in front of her and Marie took it gently with amusement.

“You’re definitely not from here, got it.”

“Now I thought that was obvious!”

Marie giggled. “There’s people from every corner of the world on these islands. It’s quite the jungle.”

Markus nodded and looked around the bar. “I can tell, it’s quite lovely. Been here quite a lot with mates the last couple years. Germany is not exactly an Island Getaway”

Marie snorted and tossed the wash towel down. “I bet that’s the last thing it is. What can I grab for you then, Markus?”

He gestured to the Guinness on tap and Marie nodded, instantly pulling up a pint glass and gesturing to Markus in question.

“Now don’t cheap me out and overdo the top!” He jokingly warned.

She mockingly gasped. “I could never do that to you!” To which Markus erupted in laughter. As she poured his drink, Marie blatantly stared the man that had been gawking at her down, causing him to startle and dart his eyes away as subtly as possible.

“…. Is your friend okay?”

“Oh don’t mind him, it’s quite normal for him, actually.” He waved her off and took the pint from her.

Marie slowly side-eyed Markus as she handed him his beer.

“Normal?”

She had seen dumbstruck men walk into the bar before, but he looked genuinely nervous and sincere. He hadn’t spoken much prior to Markus approaching the bar, just chewed on his dwindling cigar.

She quickly turned her back to him and grabbed a nearly empty tequila bottle and sloshed the rest into a tall shotglass, sliding it to him while keeping her eyes on the blond man.

“Then tell him this one is on me.”

Markus laughed aloud before yelling something out in German back to his table. The blond haired man snapped back something much more impolite, causing Marie to stifle a laugh as she continued to dry and return glasses. He looked back to her as Markus nearly tossed the shot down in front of him before sitting down with his own. Marie raised her eyebrows as he reluctantly downed the shot, but with ease. The man raised the empty glass in a brief toast before turning back to Markus and his other friends. Marie smiled sheepishly as she went back to cleaning glasses.

There was no question at all at how attractive he was, the steely shine of his eyes lit up the bar brighter than any of the cheap lighting, and it was the one thing she couldn’t look away from tonight. His bangs were mussed every time he brushed them away or blew them out of his eyes and Marie enjoyed watching him sit back and easily chat with his friends in between his stares. In her years of interpreting the body language of patrons, she had never seen a man so earnest in the way he had been gazing at her. She should have felt uncomfortable, but she secretly hoped he would come to the bar instead.

As the night continued to wind down, some of Markus’s friends had departed the bar, leaving just him and the man she’d been sharing gazes with all night. Surely one of them was going to be paying their tab, the amount of beer Anya brought them could have outweighed the entire group. Maybe it was a German thing to have that much at once. As Marie began to go around the room to turn off the lanterns, she heard the two conversing in their native tonge, one sounding more heated than the other, and Marie knew it was because Markus had been teasing his friend. She heard the front door open and shut while another sound of boots clacking on the wood floors made their way towards her.

“We didn’t keep you late, did we?”

“No, of course not. you-“

Marie turned around and saw that she was face to face with the man staring at her the entire night. His gaze had softened immensely, especially when Marie stiffened up and straightened out when she realized how close they were in height.

“There was plenty of time, I just started early.”

“Oh, well….” He sifted through the money for the tab, making sure he had what he needed before thrusting it into Marie’s grasp.

“That’s for you, then. Keep the rest for yourself.”

Marie was taken aback. That rarely happened, especially from those who were not local.

“What’s your name?” Marie’s voice grew quieter, cocking her head to the side as she focused on his face. She could see the blush creeping up on his neck, and it made her feel slightly better that she was beginning to feel the same way.

“Andreas… er.. Andi. Call me Andi.”

Marie chuckled at him.

“Thank you for the shot, by the way…. Marie? Is that your name?”

“Yeah. Of course. Seemed like you needed to feel looser.” Marie shrugged, folding her arms nervously.

“Well, I appreciate the service tonight, Marie.” Andi began to depart the bar with a short wave, but Marie disapproved of the short goodbye.

“Hey!” She called after him, not satisfied with the end of their interaction.

“Will I see you in here again?”

Andi smiled brightly, making Marie’s heart flutter in a way she had never felt before. “Well, since you’re asking…”

Sappho Debunked- The Phaon debacle

Throughout her life and the little we know about it, many have claimed Sappho to be romantically involved with three different men: Phaon, Alcaeus, and her alleged husband “Kerkylas of Andros”

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

So what about her relationship(?) with the former?

Perhaps the most famous artwork capturing her likeness is the above, ‘Safo’ painted by Miguel Carbonel Selva in 1880. The image illustrates Sappho at her penultimate moment before she leaps from the white rock (theorised to be the Leucadian cliffs) and into the sea, ultimately ending her life. But why? And what does it have to do with this Phaon bloke?

First, we must begin with who he was. Phaon is actually a mythological figure, said to be a ferryman working from Mytilene in Lesbos. He was old, ugly and overall had absolutely no bitches, other than his boat, which he would use to ferry people to Asia Minor. One day, Aphrodite came as a patron to Phaon’s ferry services, albeit disguised as an old woman. Being the lovely fellow he is, he took her across to her destination, insisting that it be free of charge. This act of kindness was in turn rewarded by the goddess, and she gave him an enchanted box of ointment. Upon application, Phaon, previously decrepit, became young and staggeringly beautiful. One could now say, he had mad riz and was never free of womanly touch ever again. And that should, technically, be the end of his story.

Until the Athenians had something to say about it.

There were a surprising amount of Athenian comedy plays made in antiquity where Sappho was a leading character, and it happens that in one such Attic stage traffic, Sappho and Phaon appear.

As they had both lived in Mytilene, they just had to have known each other, so it was only natural that Sappho met the alluring Phaon and was instantly bewitched, falling helplessly in love with him. They oft’ danced the devils tango for a time, really enjoying each other’s, uh, company. But alas, soon Sappho grew mediocre and tiresome to the newly chadified Phaon, and it was even said that he came to prefer her maid to Sappho herself. Haunted by her unfaithful lover and now unrequited affection, Sappho lept from the white rock, hoping that it would cure her of her love, or ultimately kill her.

she drowned.

Unfortunately, this rendition of Sappho’s life became somewhat popular and was only further solidified when Ovid starting shipping it too, writing his poem ‘Sappho to Phaon’, and from there it’s only escalated. The most modern adaption of Sappho and Phaon today is, well, ‘Sapho and Phao’ by John Lyly, a comedy play written and performed for Queen Elizabeth I around 1584. (While doing extra research and double checking my facts, I also found a claimed broadway play of Sappho and Phaon, but I have no idea how credible that is as I could find no additional information and the site probably gave me a virus.)

The action of Sappho leaping from the cliffs is also said to have inspired the actions of a later Mytilenean cult, where yearly members were recreationally thrown off said cliffs accompanied by a white goat. The goal was to swim back to shore, if they hadn’t accidentally killed them in the process, to achieve what I’m not entirely sure. Let them roleplay.

To conclude, the Athenians liked writing Phaon/Sappho fanfiction and serialising it, and then it became wildfire. Historians and classicists alike cannot confirm a single detail about Phaon’s life, so whether he existed at all is massively up for debate. So were Sappho and Phaon the greatest love of antiquity? Not at ALL! But it’s a fun story! Does that mean this moonshine is to be criminalised, however, the tale stamped down into oblivion in our odyssey for truth about Sappho? Again, no! The myth of Phaon will always be a gem for me, and a big part of Archaic pop culture, however, with stories like these, it can be easy to mistake the fanfics for cannon, but it’s nothing reading up and awareness can’t fix.

so now you know! Next time Wikipedia tells you Sappho and Phaon were a happy couple, you can say otherwise!

But who can really say whether the legend of Sappho and Phaon is based on the truth or not? Were Sappho and Phaon the real OTP?

after all, there is no smoke without fire…

what do you think?

Sappho, Phaon and Cupid, by Jacques-Louis David painted in 1809

Destruction of the Amazon Is Result of Organized Crime, Says Police Chief Saraiva

In the book 'Selva', former Federal Police superintendent Alexandre Saraiva recalls a confrontation with former minister Ricardo Salles after mega-operation against logging companies

The book "Selva: Madeireiros, Garimpeiros e Corruptos na Amazônia Sem Lei" ("Jungle: Loggers, prospectors and Corruption in the Lawless Amazon") reconstitutes the journey of police chief Alexandre Saraiva in the ten years in which he was superintendent of the Federal Police in Roraima, Maranhão, and Amazonas.

"I have included in the book all the things that I can prove without a doubt. I've avoided any inferences. I left that up to the reader", says Saraiva about the publication, which hits bookstores this week.

The book 'Selva' connects environmental destruction to organized crime, "with tentacles running through state and federal governments and even overseas".

debating over limbus company lore is just like when I was debating over LoR lore while I worked through the game

good times

definitely something weird going on with faust and I think yi sang is More Significant Then Most Sinners

charon got shit going on if only because vergillius seems to respect her

admittedly he is apparently just related to her in some way due to stuff we got from leviathan

kinda seemed like those guys in the tutorial were with the purple tear too

though I have no idea what that would be about

unless they’re working with the bough stealers

also why is selva obscura a like forest grove in the notably almost completely barren setting of the city

where is that exactly

I seem to recall lob corp showing a forest when they were talking about the well and all that

Maybe Literal

A Walk in the Clouds ☁️

SH was visiting Mezcal Tosba distillery (palenque) in San Cristóbal Lachirioag in the #SierraNorte #Oaxaca sounds like a place with a Scottish name like Laphroaig looking for agave.

it is the place of cousins Elisandro and Edgar Gonzalez-Molina, both from San Cristóbal Lachirioag who achieved a new brand: @tosbamezcal (followed by @mezcalgirl). Edgar González Ramírez is a first-generation mezcalero. Mezcal Tosba has 8 types of agave for mezcal, and is also a nursery with baby agave.

I didn’t know that AN wanted to dance in La Guelaguetza 2022, being part of the Chinas Oaxaqueñas, one of eight delegations of folkloric dancers in Oaxaca. Well, perhaps he tries to show what is his role in SH’s Mexico 🇲🇽 trip? 🤷‍♂️

SH still doesn't know what kind of agave he's looking for. She has not tasted enough types of Mezcal nor visited or toured too many distilleries to learn to identify the flavours, a party at Selva Oaxaca Cocktail Bar in the city of Oaxaca with friends or a visit to A.M.Café Centro is not enough.

Mezcal Tosba is a limited quantity and it’s a bottle with a plain band label and will not be appropriate for SH😂 decoration per Mezcal Council regulation. But if he is considering Mezcal Tosba, it could be Mezcal classic Espadín, Pechuga or Warash scheduled for export to the United States.

It is important to understand that SH will not elaborate or create Mezcal at any stage of the process, this work corresponds exclusively to an artisan with Ancestral traditions, mezcal is a traditional Mexican drink with a strong character. Mezcal is strong on the palate; They produce it in 9 states of Mexico and come from agave.

SH and AN don't know Mezcal (not indeed tequila) He knows nothing about Mezcal or how it's made or even how Mezcal should be drunk because as everyone knows SH is not a Mezcal or Tequila drinker and of course, He is not a Master Mezcalero. But if his American fans like mezcal, then he went to Oaxaca with his friend and former bartender like SH (@chiefmabooboo El Tequileño) and approached @mezcalgirl, an entrepreneur and mezcal connoisseur, to introduce him to business, she pointed to @mezcaltosba. This is a proof that SH looks for some small batches of mezcal, and did a mezcal tour and tasting to convince a palenque to sell him some batches.

@mezcalgirl IG

In the market there are several brands, so he must take a tour visiting and tasting Mezcal in visits to distilleries and drinking in “Casa del Mezcal" around the city. But, perhaps one brand is on the list… Mezcal Tosba. Mezcal Despite being a very famous and traditional drink, many people do not dare to drink it because of how strong it is, mezcal is a distillate and can be made from thirty varieties of agave or maguey, farmers usually produce it with a laborious and ancient -artisan method, in distilleries known as "palenques".

The rise of mezcal coincides with the popularity of farm-to-table food and the rise of craft cocktails. Of course, there is no better place than Oaxaca to try traditional mezcal, but he should learn more about this spirit : "All mezcal is tequila, but not all tequila is mezcal."

Perhaps he will try to conquer other types of alcohol drinkers with a new, Oaxacan flavour that is not found in its tequila. But Mezcal production in Villages of Oaxaca is still completely in the hands of the farmers themselves. Many of the more interesting selections are being imported by the producers themselves and distributed by smaller companies that specialise in boutique spirits.

But SH will take a while to convince any mezcal drinker or Mezcalero, that he’s searching for agave for a medical posing with a “Modelo Especial” Mexican Beer in his hands 🍺😂

Can I ask for either ✉ for Selvas and one of the Oldie Siblings (Eleusis, Anatolia or Orion)

or for a ❤ with Levi and Asterope please ?

Why not boooth ✨?

I hope it can be ok 👉👈

(I don't know why but Selvas writing a letter makes me laugh, anyway)

Selvas Lupercalia

Dear Eleusis,

This is a letter of appreciation. Saying it aloud seems like a waste of time to me, I prefer to listen to you speak or your music. In truth, I don't think you need my words, maybe it's more I who have to admit this to myself. Sometimes it seems to me that I miss a place that I don't remember, perhaps the womb of the heart where my mother raised me. I can't go back, but now the reason is unknown to me. Why I am here for I have now forgotten, and I had resigned myself to a life of solitude with only the company of birdsong, not that I really cared but ... since I met you and your siblings this world seems to me a little less empty, and my presence here a little less useless. I believe I can call you my friend, and I am fond of you, as I also feel affection for Anatolia and Orion. You are...a good reason to live the day. You can count on me if you ever need it.

In any case always pay attention.

Selvas Lupercalia

Levi Farlune

My dearest Asterope,

I'm not good at flattery or singing other people's charms, nor can I write with the elegance and diplomacy of some knights I know. But you know it, am I right? You don't expect that from me, and you know that I do much better with chemistry than with poetry. I'm not wrong, isn't it? You wouldn't be by my side if I had an artist's brush in my hand rather than a surgical knife or telescope. I must confess that I love as you don't shiver at my speeches, at which others turn up their noses. I am happy if you are with me looking at the world from my corner, you are so inspiring, so intelligent. You know how difficult it can be to understand someone like me, you know that it's not just me, and sometimes I feel too lost, and I no longer recognize the border between myself and the Other. But, strangely, I don't feel wrong with you. And I don't even feel like a monster, or a culprit. With you, for some bizarre and magical reason, it seems to me that I can see a future that I didn't believe was granted to me before. Maybe it had to be someone like you who opened it for me.

You don't have to accept what I told you, you can even pretend that nothing happened, I don't really care. But, perhaps, one day will serve you to know this.

Yours,

Levi Farlune

Projecte I Moliner | 1. Introducció i Mòdul 1: La llavor

Faig una primer lectura del manual amb propostes d’eines i metodologies pràctiques Projecte I, de l’artista i investigadora Montserrat Moliner.

El mòdul didàctic s’estructura, de manera semblant al Manual d’Intrusions, en 6 parts numerades del 0 al 5:

0. Projecte I

1. La llavor: Preprojecte / avantprojecte

2. El símbol: Context / context social, històric, cultural i lingüístic / context artístic / referents

3. L’encanteri: Procés de formalització de l’obra

4. El camí: Metodologia / recerca / procés de desenvolupament d’un projecte artístic

5. El mirall: Avaluació / autoavaluació / coavaluació

Faig servir Chat GPT per generar un diàleg entre dos amics, als quals he anomenat Amic i Amat, en homenatge a l'obra de Ventura Pons, que a més són companys d'estudis a la UOC i conversen sobre l'assignatura Projecte I.

Fotograma d'Amic | Amat de Ventura Pons (1998), amb David Selvas i Josep Maria Pou.

A continuació, els dos primers capítols del Projecte I d'Amic i Amat

0. Projecte I: Introducció

Amic: Oi que tens l'assignatura de Projecte I aquest semestre?

Amat: Sí, i he llegit la introducció sobre els cinc eixos de l'assignatura.

Amic: De què tracta tot això?

Amat: Bàsicament, es tracta d'un procés creatiu per desenvolupar projectes artístics. Utilitzen una metàfora molt poètica, com si fos un somni màgic que guia tot el procés.

Amic: Quins són aquests eixos?

Amat: La llavor és com el primer brot de la idea, el símbol és com els elements significatius que afloren, l'encanteri és fer visible l'invisible en la creació, el camí és el mètode per desenvolupar el projecte i el mirall és l'autoavaluació del procés.

Amic: Sembla bastant complexe.

Amat: Sí, però es tracta d'entendre com tots aquests aspectes es relacionen i es complementen entre ells durant el procés artístic.

Amic: I com s'apliquen això en la pràctica?

Amat: Bé, hi ha diverses pràctiques recomanades com observar, recordar, llegir, dibuixar, caminar, etc., que ajuden a alimentar tots aquests aspectes creatius.

Amic: Així que no hi ha un únic camí a seguir?

Amat: Exacte, pots començar des de la idea, des de la pràctica, des del símbol, des de l'estudi... El més important és la passió i l'atenció que hi poses.

Amic: Entenc, sembla un viatge artístic molt interessant!

Amat: Sí, segur que serà una experiència enriquidora!

Amic: Després he llegit els objectius de l'assignatura Projecte I. Sembla bastant intens!

Amat: Sí, volen que aprofundim en el procés de creació artística amb una metodologia que ens permeti reflexionar i posar en pràctica tot el que aprenem.

Amic: Quins són els objectius específics?

Amat: Bàsicament, volen que aprenguem a generar idees, que fem una reflexió sobre referents històrics contemporanis, que aprenguem a documentar i planificar el nostre treball, i que siguem capaços de presentar el projecte amb un llenguatge artístic adequat.

Amic: Uau, això implica molta feina!

Amat: Sí, però crec que serà molt gratificant. Ens ajudarà a créixer com a artistes i a desenvolupar el nostre propi estil i metodologia de treball.

Amic: Doncs espero estar preparat per afrontar aquests reptes!

Amat: Segur que sí, tot és qüestió de posar-hi ganes i treballar dur! Tal com diu la Moliner, “per trobar les respostes s’ha d’incidir a fer la pregunta correcta per a cada moment del procés, i d’aquesta manera trobaràs noves opcions als pensaments”.

1. Mòdul 1: La llavor

Amic: Hola! He llegit la introducció de “La llavor | Preprojecte / avantprojecte”, el primer mòdul de Projecte I de Montserrat Moliné, sobre la creació d'una obra artística, i m'ha semblat molt interessant.

Amat: Sí, diu que és un procés poètic i màgic, on les idees van creixent i sorgeixen en silenci. M’ha agrada quan diu “la llavor d’una idea es desenvolupa gràcies a la suma del treball conscient més l’inconscient i a la tensió que es produeix entre tots dos.” (p. 5)

Amic: Exacte. Parla de la llavor de les idees i com aquestes germinen i es desenvolupen al llarg del procés creatiu tant físic com metafísic.

Amat: I també destaca la importància de mantenir la imaginació viva, sense posar-hi límits racionals.

Amic: Sí, diu que hem de fer-nos preguntes lliures, sense filtrar-les amb la lògica, per trobar noves opcions als nostres pensaments.

Amat: Sembla que ens anima a explorar tots els camins creatius sense por a l'error.

Amic: Exacte. Jo ho veig com una invitació a deixar volar la imaginació i a confiar en el procés creatiu.

Amat: Doncs estic emocionat per començar a crear i veure on ens porten les nostres idees i somnis!

Amic: Jo també! Serà una aventura emocionant explorar tots aquests camins creatius.

Procesos de gestació d’idees

La pluja d’idees

Amic: Hi ha un seguit de tècniques que ens facilitaran el procés de trobar idees, combinar-les i fer-les créixer: la pluja d’idees, els mapes mentals, la sinèctica... En primer lloc, saps què és una pluja d'idees?

Amat: No, mai n'he sentit a parlar. Què és?

Amic: És una tècnica per generar un munt d'idees de manera ràpida i espontània. Va ser inventada per Alex F. Osborn el 1939.

Amat: Interessant. Com funciona?

Amic: Bé, bàsicament reunim un grup de persones i comencem a llençar idees sense cap mena de crítica o judici. L'objectiu és generar tantes idees com sigui possible en un període curt de temps.

Amat: Com ho fas?

Amic: La clau és centrar-se en la quantitat d'idees, no en la qualitat. Suspenem el judici i permetem que les idees flueixin lliurement, fins i tot les més estranyes o salvatges.

Amat: Entenc. I després què feu amb totes aquestes idees?

Amic: Després les analitzem i les agrupem segons la seva utilitat. Hi ha idees que podem utilitzar immediatament, altres que ens porten a explorar noves àrees i altres que ens fan replantejar-nos la pregunta inicial.

Amat: Sembla una manera molt efectiva d'aconseguir un munt d'idees noves.

Amic: Ho és. I el millor és que totes les idees, fins i tot les més estranyes, poden conduir-nos a nous descobriments i solucions creatives.

Amat: Genial. Haurem de provar-ho en alguna ocasió.

El mapa conceptual

Amic: En segon lloc, s’hi parla d'una cosa anomenada "mapa mental". T'imagines què pot ser?

Amat: Sí, jo n'he sentit a parlar. Són una mena de diagrama que utilitzes per organitzar les teves idees i pensaments d'una manera visual i estructurada.

Amic: Ah, interessant. Qui va inventar això?

Amat: Va ser popularitzat per un psicòleg i escriptor anomenat Tony Buzan, però la idea en si no és nova. Ve de fa molt de temps, fins i tot es pot remuntar a l'escriptura egípcia.

Amic: Com funciona exactament?

Amat: Bé, comences amb una paraula o idea central al centre del paper, i després vas afegint idees secundàries i terciàries que s'irradien d'aquesta paraula principal. Utilitzes colors, dibuixos i símbols per fer-ho més visual i fàcil de comprendre.

Amic: Em sembla una manera genial d'organitzar els pensaments. Quan podries utilitzar un mapa mental?

Amat: És molt útil per a l'estudi, per planificar projectes, o fins i tot per brainstorming. Et permet veure les connexions entre les idees i organitzar-les de manera lògica.

Amic: Em sembla que provaré a fer-ne un per al meu proper projecte. Gràcies per explicar-m'ho!

La sinèctica

Amic: També parla d'una cosa anomenada "sinèctica". Té alguna cosa a veure amb la creació d'idees, oi?

Amat: Sí, és una tècnica de generació d'idees que va ser desenvolupada per William Gordon fa bastant temps. Funciona d'una manera una mica diferent de la pluja d'idees.

Amic: Com és diferent?

Amat: Bé, mentre que la pluja d'idees es centra en generar tantes idees com sigui possible en un temps molt curt, la sinèctica busca anar més enllà del que és habitual i familiar, obrint la ment a noves dimensions de pensament. Escolta, llegiré aquesta frase reveladora de la pàgina 9: “es considera que els elements que han de ser compresos per augmentar les possibilitats en el procés creatiu són els elements emocionals i irracionals”.

Amic: Interessant. Com ho fa?

Amat: Utilitza cinc tècniques diferents per generar analogies i obrir la ment a noves possibilitats. Una d'aquestes tècniques és l'analogia directa, on busques comparacions entre objectes o paraules que s'assemblin d'alguna manera.

Amic: I quines altres tècniques hi ha?

Amat: Hi ha l'analogia personal, on t'intentes identificar personalment amb el tema que estàs tractant, i l'analogia contrària, on busques conceptes o idees que siguin totalment diferents al que estàs considerant.

Amic: I què més?

Amat: També hi ha l'analogia simbòlica, on busques expressar el tema amb enunciats poètics, i l'analogia fantàstica, on deixes anar la teva imaginació i busques opcions més imaginatives i fora del comú.

Amic: Em sembla que la sinètica pot ser una eina interessant per explorar noves idees i perspectives. Ho provaré al meu pròxim projecte!

Pràctiques rituals

Observar

Saps què m'agrada d'aquesta lectura? Tot això sobre les pràctiques per fer visible allò invisible. Sembla que ens estiguessin donant les eines per explorar el món de les idees d'una manera molt profunda.

Amat: Sí, totalment! És com si ens estiguessin mostrant com obrir-nos a un univers d'imaginació i creativitat. M'agrada especialment com parlen sobre l'observació i la manera com ens insten a veure les coses amb una nova mirada, sense prejudicis ni expectatives.

Amic: Exacte! Em sembla que a vegades ens acostumem tant a veure les coses d'una manera concreta que oblidem explorar altres possibilitats. Aquesta idea de mirar les coses amb la ingenuïtat de la primera vegada em sembla molt potent.

Dibuixar

Amat: I el tema del dibuix també és interessant. Sembla que el dibuix no només és una forma de representar objectes, sinó que també és una eina per explorar noves idees i relacions. Em recorda a quan érem petits i dibuixàvem sense cap mena de limitació.

Amic: Sí, jo també penso que hi ha una gran llibertat en el dibuix. És com si ens permetés expressar les nostres idees de manera intuïtiva i ràpida. La cita d'en Bruce Nauman sobre dibuixar com equivalent a pensar ho resumeix molt bé.

La memòria

Amat: I què em dius de la part sobre la memòria? M'ha semblat molt interessant com parlen de la importància d'ordenar els records i com això pot influir en la nostra creativitat.

Amic: Sí, és veritat. La manera com recordem les experiències passades i com les relacionem amb el present pot tenir un impacte enorme en la nostra manera de crear i imaginar. Em sembla que aquest exercici de pensar en un objecte que ens ha acompanyat i ordenar els records és molt potent.

Escoltar el silenci

Amic: És que hi ha un seguit de coses que es fan per predisposar-te a trobar l'estat adequat per crear. Com ara observar, dibuixar, escoltar el silenci...

Amat: Espera, escoltar el silenci? Com es fa això?

Amic: Sembla ser que es tracta de posar-te en contacte amb el silenci per dins, com si meditessis. Diu que això facilita una mena d'escolta interna, perquè la ment en silenci pot formular noves idees.

Caminar

Amat: Interessant. I què més diu?

Amic: També parla de caminar, jugar, llegir i portar una llibreta com a pràctiques per estimular la creativitat.

Jugar, llegir, portar una llibreta…

Amat: Caminar, jugar... això sembla més divertit.

Amic: Sí, diu que caminar sense un destí concret pot estimular el pensament i la creativitat. I jugar també és important, perquè ajuda a experimentar i a veure les coses des de punts de vista diferents.

Amat: I llegir?

Amic: Doncs diu que la lectura et permet accedir a altres punts de vista i et fa més empàtic. A més, expandeix la teva perspectiva i et porta a noves idees i històries.

Amat: I el tema de portar una llibreta?

Amic: Bé, aquesta és interessant. Diu que les llibretes serveixen per atrapar les idees i donar-los forma. Pots portar-les de forma física o virtual, però recomanen ügg v lang in v pp versió física perquè afavoreix la memòria i és més còmode per fer dibuixos.

Amat: En resum, sembla que tot aquest conjunt de pràctiques ens ajuda a connectar amb nosaltres mateixos i amb el món que ens envolta d'una manera molt profunda i creativa.

Amic: Exactament! Em fa pensar en com podem aplicar aquestes idees al nostre propi procés creatiu. Potser podríem portar una llibreta i fent alguna passejada per inspirar-nos.

Amat: Em sembla una excel·lent idea! Jo també estic emocionat per començar a explorar aquestes pràctiques i veure com influeixen en la nostra manera de crear i pensar. Molt interessant tot plegat. Potser hauríem de provar alguna d'aquestes pràctiques.

Amic: Sí, què et sembla si comencem amb la pràctica de l'escolta del silenci? Proposo un minut de silenci en memòria del productor de tants moments d'inspiració cinematogràfica, en Ventura Pons, que va morir el passat 3 de gener d'aquest any. Va per tu, Ventura!

Amat: Perfecte, podríem intentar-ho ara mateix

(Un minut de silenci per en Ventura)
