It's Very Rare That Being So Invested In A Character's Personality That You Want To Imagine Them In A

it's too bad to have to block people just because the 'don't recommend blog' button doesn't do anything but I WILL block just to avoid having to see stuff I dislike on feed

Every time I read a different translation of Senbonzakura I feel less confident as to what it's talking about.

The imagery is also confusing, with lines like "pacifist nation" mixed into what sound like nationalist propaganda, or mention of science fiction weaponry... but I think the language might be too complicated for anyone who isn't a fluent Japanese speaker to understand, especially since no professional translation seems to exist

I'm suspicious of the narrative that it's just propaganda, though, because that seems kind of too literal and unimaginative

the quality is very low hope to fix that later

second favourite anime.

The intense way they communicate feelings is infinitely valuable

Nelly Dean has an aura of being a normal person looking in on the chaos, but she's pretty self-deceptive about how malicious she was towards Catherine. 'Oh, she was just sort of proud, so I kind of liked to humble her' and then she describes very manipulative and dishonest stuff she did to torment Catherine... She's probably one of the less malicious people but because she's the narrator we see a lot of the bad stuff she does.

Not using the terms bad person or good person because those terms aren't real and cause mind/soul decay

Although I don't think it's something from the game, the guest book on the silvery tablecloth, against those walls, gives the exact vibes of a scene from Ib but in real life. Whoever designed this knew what they were doing!

I went to the Ib exhibition!!! Here’s some pictures!!!! I couldn’t include everything because tumblr only allows 10 images on mobile only which is a bummer

It was really cool!! Some of the paintings actually moved, and there was a section where we were given VR headsets and got to experience the doll room scene with Garry and the key which was very neat!! Also Garry’s acrylic stand at the gift shop was totally sold out LOL

Part 2 of the exhibition

due to current circumstances the idea of art having a 'soul' and using 'soulless' as a pejorative has increased. Is it a good idea to tie creative value to this kind of mystical aura? It's not, and I don't mean that because it's supernatural but because it is exclusive and narrow.

In Ancient Egypt, they apparently believed in more than three 'souls.' Which one is blessing your art?

Will expand in a future post on the bio-essentialist and exclusionary core of the soul/soulless conflict

There is so much CONTENT in the world! We can't eat it all easily... It's amazing!

in the endless battle between aesthetic reactionaries and consumer slop nobody will ever win
