This Is A Photo Of Guarino Guarini's Church, Santissima Annunziata Dei Teatini, Before It Was Destroyed
this is a photo of Guarino Guarini's church, Santissima Annunziata dei Teatini, before it was destroyed by the Messina earthquake in 1908.
Because the image has colour, it's interesting to pretend it's current day but just blurry. It looks like something you could encounter in your daily life

worst popular statement about art is 'disturbs the comfortable and comforts the disturbed' because that basically means 'art is a weapon to dominate my enemies and help people I like" which is truly evil
the disturbing aspect of art should be something everybody experiences but which turns out to be a good thing as well as a bad thing. Let's all get struck by it like ragdolls!
people talk about AI 'spitting out' images that aren't exactly what the artist wants, but other media are the same. This is why drawings always look different than what we imagined before beginning - because the materiality of the pencil or paint is deeply altering and controlling the outcome. It's just that we're used to this, so we think a pencil drawing is wholly our own desire rather than a conflict between our vision and the material.
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
You can trace an ideological lineage from Tezuka to Miyazaki, where both promote a kind of 'pacifism' which is at its core conservative and hostile to the idea of fighting against real evil. Thinking specifically of Tezuka's "Buddha" series here
My hot take is that I feel like “ghibli films are pro Japanese imperialism” is a lazy jab that grabs at a few soft spots in the oeuvre to make the cheapest most rhetorically damaging shot it can, and that an honest analysis would generally struggle to say even the most problematic of the movies like The Wind Rises come out of the wash with a positive opinion of imperial Japan. My hotter take is that if you rigorously pull at the threads where the nominally anti-war films thematically collapse, you’ll find the issue isn’t a support of Japanese Imperialism but a lack of a rigorous critique of industrial civilization.
one of my favourite chara designs fr all the danganronpa related games (like made by the same ppl etc) its so perfect, it has painted scary teeth and a dripping eye and a giant pin ❣

Artistic freedom is part of your mental autonomy, that you have the right to communicate with people in the way you feel you need to, you can express your thoughts/feelings etc. you can manipulate ideas, that's a real freedom
property rights are exclusively designed to control people and enforce economic inequality and when applied to creative concepts this is extra true, I would even consider it a kind of emotional/psychological violence because it stops people from communicating with each other
fanfic/meme images exist in an unenforced niche, they are not legal under copyright

This is absolutely a correct statement if it was just about personal remixes, but the context here is about businesses using other people's work without permission. It has nothing to do with whether or not you're allowed to remix it yourself. If a company has the means to use someone's work in a for-profit venture, then they have the means to pay someone for the product of their labour. These companies don't even use other people's IP in a novel way that bends IP law to create something that contributes to culture; the loss of culture if sellers of Redbubble t-shirts couldn't just take pictures from the internet and sell them for 40 bucks anymore would be negligible compared to, say, losing Lasgna Cat alone would be.
its already illegal for redbubble sellers to do that though. thats already not allowed. like thats already literally a copyright violation under current copyright law and guess what: because random people posting their fanart online don't have the money to afford a corporate lawyer, it just keeps happening and will keep happening, because copyright law never has and never will defended anyone but the wealthy. like this fantasy of your art as a Small Artist being protected by copyright law is just that, a fantasy, it doesn't happen and will never happen. you are completely detached from reality!
Ballet, like opera, is wonderful because it is monstrous, the hyper-development of skills nobody needs, a twisting of human bodies and souls into impossible positions, the purchase of light with blood.

This map is probably 90% done but I'm very tired of working on it
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
