Embarking on the Cosmic Carnival: A Philosophical Odyssey through Meaning and Existence

Embarking on the Cosmic Carnival: A Philosophical Odyssey through Meaning and Existence #CosmicCarnival #PhilosophicalJourney #ExistentialExploration #SpiritualReflections #QuantumMysteries #MeaningOfLife #CarnivalOfExistence #CosmicOdyssey #Philosophy

In the cosmic tapestry of existence, where the stars themselves are but dancers in the grand ballroom of the universe, we find ourselves at the threshold of a cosmic carnival—a carnival that transcends the boundaries of time and space, inviting us to partake in the revelry of meaning. As we step into this celestial extravaganza, envision a kaleidoscope of philosophies, a carousel of emotions, and…

One Flight Up: Philosophers

I’ve been drawing with dip pens lately so I did a nib study using my ghost trick redesigns.

for anyone that’s interested here’s some notes on the nibs under the cut.

Leonardt 33 - Easily the one of the most flexible pen nibs I have. Technically this is designed for calligraphy, specifically spencerian, so the sideways movement isn’t great and there’s little control when doing hatching. Really dramatic swoops with high pressure that aren’t entirely appropriate for character portraits but I kinda dig what it did to Sissel’s hair. Will probably use it for special effects like fire and smoke and stuff.

Leondardt 33 - This one is actually intended for drawing so naturally it has a fairly consistent line weight with a low flex. The hatching marks are kinda scratchy but not in a bad way. Would probably work really well for continuous contour and styles of lineart that are more sketchy, loose, and dynamic than my normal character art style. Would prob use for larger pieces or figures closer to the camera cause the line weight is generally a bit too thick for the usual size I work with.

Tachikawa G - This is a nib made for drawing manga specifically and it’s really easy to use for drawing. Some of the calligraphy nibs really take some thought and careful motor control to look good but this one was forgiving. I see myself using this a lot for really casual art. It was kinda hard to do hatching or filling with this one tho, which was kinda surprising. Very gentle line variance, makes really clear shapes. You can see in the other characters than too high flexibility can make it hard for the brain to turn lines into form so this really mellows it out. Prob best to use this nib to block out the lineart then hatch/fill/detail with others.

Hunt 102 - this is a speedball job made for mapping and oh my god do I love this nib. It’s just so 👌👌👌 on the details??? the line variance perfectly matches the brushes I use on photoshop and it’s just. mwah. it holds onto literally so much ink despite being so tiny. interestingly hatching is unstable but two or three lines together seem to be just fine. Kinda sad that jowd’s hair is a little hard to focus on cause of the variance but with a little practice I can prob find ways around that cause I already know I’m gonna love using this nib for heads and faces. Filling is a bit patchy but otherwise I think this is gonna be my go-to detail nib. (also no jowd isn’t in overalls that’s supposed to be an art apron but with only like the top portion showing it’s hard to tell.)

Hunt 108 - ok this is Supposed to be a drawing nib as well as a calligraphy nib and it does mimic brush strokes but I’m pretty heavy handed so it’s hard Not to make those super thick lines. Not bad with details and has enough control to make thickening up the outline super easy, but really easy to mess up. This nib did Cabanela dirty by flexing a bit too much when I was doing his mouth so I had to correct it with a white pen. Spreads the ink too thin in areas for solid filling. I can see this working really well with mixed media, like with watercolor, and once I get some more colored ink I’ll use it for coloring.

Hunt 100 - idiot stupid rat bastard of a pen nib. ok the art looks fine right? can’t be that bad, right? it took me so long to make that because the ink just. wouldn’t come out. so this nib is another mapping nib and it’s super delicate so it breaks really easily. I broke my first one bc I’m heavy handed, so I ordered another like ‘ok I’ll be more careful with this one’. it broke again. I don’t even know how. Ideally I’d use it for small spaces or reeeally fine details but I can’t even get it to work long enough to try. speedball can meet me in the pits.

Hunt 512 - A calligraphy nib that’s actually really easygoing to draw with. There’s not much line variance, so the hairlines have a lot of control. Makes for really good hatching. Also does really great long, thin lines. Sideways movement is kinda meh but it does the job. Definitely the cleanest looking of all them, tho the lack of variance makes it a bit boring to look at. Gonna use this one for shading and textures or for drawing on really rough paper.

Hunt 99 - like the first nib this one is really dramatic, and it’s supposed to be a calligraphy nib, but it has a lot more weight control than the hunt 108. Also the fine lines are easier to control. A lot of ink comes out so it might not be great on paper with risk of bleeding, and it takes a while to dry compared to others, but it would be good for filling since it can cover a large opaque space while having good control over the shape and points. Could also use for different warping/texture techniques.

Other notes:

I used smooth illustration Bristol for the paper, since ink looks more vibrant and swooshy on it and also some of these nibs can Only be used on smooth paper.

Also used terracotta India ink, which is kinda on the thick end but still looks good. matches with the colored lineart in Ghost Trick lol

got all of my pen nibs from Paper & Ink Arts cause u can order a nib for like less than a dollar fifty each. You can also get paper, nib holders, and ink for a good price too.

if u wanna start with dip pens PLEASE prepare your nibs before drawing. stick them in a potato for like 10 minutes. please trust me on this you will have a bad time otherwise.

ok thanks for reading through my Very Indulgent experiment.

#ghost trick #my art #idk maybe this is a bit unconventional for fanart #but I think a lot of ppl only ever post super polished art and not the experimental stuff #which gives ppl who want to start drawing the idea that every drawing has to be a finished one #and that everything you post has to get likes #sometimes art is about the journey #. . . ok my cat just died so maybe I’m being all maudlin and philosophical to cope but still #this is also here cause I could find jack shit useful reviews for pen nibs #so Hopefully this can help ppl that want to try dip pens but don’t know how #feel free to reblog if you want to reference or share the info on nibs lol #character design #traditional art #nib review

i need more people to understand that they are not wrong when they write zuko as just a little guy. just a silly little man… they are not wrong! but he is also the same guy who breaks into impenetrable fortresses for funsies and went through a phase where he robbed people. for reasons. i am begging… let him be a little feral sometimes

#he IS an ‘awkward turtle duck’ as it’s tagged on ao3 but by god that’s not he’s ENTIRE PERSONALITY #he’s snarky! hes snappy! he’s fierce! he’s a fighter!#particularly obsessed in early redeemed zuko. love that feral energy.#no one:#zuko: get in bitch we’re going shopping #by shopping me means i deep philosophical life changing journey that will help you understand yourself and others in the world around you i #a different light and ultimately make you a better person #zuko #jack talks #fandom

WIP Snippet Sunday

@gleamingsilence tagged me...recently? Right? Anyway so have a snippet from the Vilgefortz fic. All my feelings about the Witcher canons and these characters. That's why this fic is somehow 14k and I'm probably gonna add another 2k of an interlude. No one can stop me (but I always value it when sass reminds me of what I said I'm trying to do with the story. It's very helpful.)

“I’ve met no other who embodies contradiction as you do. You’ve allowed yourself to be shackled by the definitions from others. Mutant. Witcher. Butcher. At the same time you’ve managed to elude responsibility in name only, all while trying to keep the whole world from crashing down on a young girl’s shoulders. You’ve grown beyond these prescriptive titles.”

Vilgefortz licked his lips and stepped closer to the portrait.

“This was suppose to be my prelude… but you walked away. I wanted to show you Tor Lara, take you to the precipice and have you look into the abyss. I want to see how you might face death. I need to see your reactions so I can know what your breaking point will be. I wanted to see what kind of problems you’ll present should you survive the night. So I wonder: will it tear you asunder to be parted from the girl? Will that change your Nature? They say the bonds of Destiny cannot be broken by man nor god.”

Vilgefortz sighed and pumped his cock several more times. “But then I am no mere man, nor mere god.”

#vilgywank #yep there's literal and philosophical wanking. it's a journey okay #i've written some of my favoritest funny lines in this story. i love it so much.#but seriously though i am gonna spend SO MUCH TIME EDITING to make this actually flow well enough with his speeches & the imagery and shit #i'm obsessed tho so it's gonna be a good time for me. and the 5 people who are gonna be into this too #vilgefortz of roggeveen #geralt x vilgefortz #my witcher wips #writingdora

New Life. Difference. Change.

“The person who attained inner strength and integrity often may not be as successful as his unscrupulous neighbor but, he will have security, judgement, and objectivity which will make him much less vulnerable to changing fortunes and opinions of others and will in many areas enhance his ability for constructive work.”

Erich Fromm Psychoanalysis and Religion p. 75

i love that atsushi is ostensibly the protagonist but bsd fucks off to do backstory or sidestory stuff like at least 2-3 episodes a season

#nothing against atsushi i think his storylines a pretty interesting journey towards self acceptance #also think his ability is gonna maybe be a god thing like chuuyas possibly whivh is why fitzgerald was so interested in it yk #also curious as to what bsd has to say abt gods #ALSO bsd does seem to have free will which is fun. determinism denied🚫#canis speaks #bsd tag #i love rudimentary philosophical analysis of anime its all i have in this world

The Upanishads

Beyond Textual Study to Experiential WisdomThe Upanishads, ancient Indian texts forming the philosophical core of Hinduism, present a profound, spiritual journey. However, a critical aspect often overlooked is the distinction between mere scholarly study and experiential understanding. When one engages with the Upanishads purely from an academic perspective, without delving into the experiential…

A curious anon asks a pizza-related question:

Hey Peppino, what's the worst type of pizza to prepare? Asking for a friend, of course.

❛ Uh huh...your-a "friend" wanted to know? Well, tell-a your "FRIEND" that the answer--for-a ME personally--is ANYTHING that includes pineapple. It's-a CRIME to have that on a pizza and I've already fought in this metaphorical war long ago. Sadly, NOBODY wants to listen to the Italian when he says that they would-a be arrested once they step foot in-a Italy if they continue to defend this-a...fruit. L'ananas sarà la mia morte, lo giuro... Still, I-a need the cash so I gotta make 'em. That's-a life. ❜

❛ Runner up goes to those-a garlic pizzas Wario orders and how they stink up the restaurant. Luckily he's the only one crazy enough to ask for-a that so no need to rant about 'em. ❜

#[ order up! || ask answered ]#[ a customer's a customer || anon ]#'before you ask about those-a brazilian pizzas or other monstrosities from around the world'#'i wouldn't be caught DEAD preparing those so no dice'#'not even for a million dollars'#//inb4 somebody gives him a million dollars to make a brazilian pizza #//and he has to go on a deep philosophical journey on whether he should go against his ideals and morals to make this or not #//spoilers: he makes it but the person offering the cash was scamming him so he shrieks and kicks their ass

The plot thickens...

The thing here is, I'm almost certain that wasn't what Alphonse was going to say (I assume he wanted to say something about how trying to bring back Trisha wasn't comparable to this at all... I'm reminded of 12-year-old Ed with Tucker)

But a not unfair point is being made in the context of the military/Ed and Al's involvement with it. Thus far, the Elric brothers haven't liked the military, but as such have seemed to feel that their being tied to it (and appropriately disliked) for each other's sakes is a necessary sacrifice/a mature choice (as I've said before, they seem to view maturity/kindness as equivalent to ignoring your own wants or needs for someone else).

But I think when Lust equates sacrificing the prisoners with Ed being a state alchemist (and Al having wanted to be one), it puts things in a bit more perspective for Ed? Because Ed + Al are far from the only people at risk here... It's not just about their lives, it's about the people who the military is actually targeting-in this specific instance, these prisoners

So Ed refusing to follow orders with this in mind (even when Al was on the line) was probably the primary reason why Scar chose to help him escape (though ofc Scar seeing himself and his brother in Ed and Al was also part of it)

#there's a quote later on that ties into this a lot #but tbh I don't fully remember the context it was said in so I'll wait till I've gotten that far to comment on it #every time I try to analyze this series in any way I wonder. is all of this just obvious but also simultaneously incoherent #adrien says stuff #fma #fma 03 #fma rewatch #idk #Definitely talking to Marcoh and that guy from ep16 Ed has admitted that his journey was foolhardy #and obviously by this point he's been considering the moral ramifications of the philosopher's stone for a while now #but for the most part thus far he has given very little thought on whether or not he can morally be a state alchemist #well I mean. in the flashback he did quit over Nina #but I mean more recently with him entirely rejecting Scar's beliefs by default #sorry this post was meant to be about Elric brother views on maturity + Lust's thoughts on humanity but I got distracted #headcanons analysis au ideas and such

I'm going to start living my life. I've decided. No matter how much things hurt, I'm going to live so intensely and passionately. I've fought hard for this life so I might as well enjoy it.
