It does make me a little bit sad that Granblue being a waifu/husbando game means that they can pretty much never explicitly confirm a relationship between their characters (unless they already had one from the start) or just leave it ambiguous whether one of the pair really reciprocates or not. Like, damn, just let Katalina and Vira date already it's been years. The only character I can think of that actually made any romantic progress is Nicholas.

yeah that's true

for Katalina it's more that she's really oblivious so that plays too but yeah at this point her and Vira should definitely have dated :(

out of the characters i can think of that made progress it's like.. Nicholas who indeed went from colleague to lover to married to now being parents together with his beloved and i don't think anyone else really got this type of advancement in relationship

Lucifer and Sandalphon come close considering the specific of their relationship but considering what happens to Lucifer it's :crushed: and it's basically free game for then let people imagine going further with Sandalphon regardless of the fact those feelings have pretty much been confirmed as such on both sides.

Meg and Mari actually i think would really leave the "ambiguous" area too even though they're not officially dating yet. They still pretty much did love declaration over love declaration in the previous event and considering in the first event they were just friend and only at the end Mari expressed now having feelings for Meg, there is a clear evolution in their relationship so hey, crossing fingers next event involving Meg further her relationship with Mari the same way Nicholas's multiple events furthered his relationship with his now-wife.

I'm not too familiar with the Societte/Yuel storyline but from what i could gather the first story was not having them established at first, and now they are pretty much on "i want to be by your side forever, if you will have me" "of course i do" term and considering their plotline then have them taking care of a kid together they've been considered as canon pretty much since.

I think tbh the only real reason we see Nicholas do a major progress is that by virtue of him being in a straight relationship, just having his wife getting pregnant is proof enough that this relationship is well settled. So especially for others relationship it's a bit more.. yeah.

Meanwhile big F in the chat for Stan and Aliza who's been pinning for each other since their very first event and still haven't made a single move toward each other.

And i guess we can't just ignore Romeo and Juliette. I know they were in love by the end of their first event but i don't know if they met before the first event and qualify has having their relationship settled before that or not - but their relationship sure evolved since they got married in the 3rd event.

Those are the one which, at the top of my head, feel pretty much too into being a confirmed relationship to really imply otherwise, though regardless their vdays lines can still be romantic toward the player but it's more in a fanservicy way than a "canonically they are still emotionally available to flirt"

There's a few more relationships that are more hinted at in general but i couldn't qualify maybe as confirmed (Silva/Tweyen come to mind, same for Bridgette/Cordelia)

but yeah granblue will still try to keep it mostly vague on most front so that players can project in relationship and everything.

tbh personally i'm perfectly content with the way the game does it because when it does hint at a relationship between two charas the material given is enough for me to fill the gaps, i think that with such an approach it is still doing well

but also i'm an Old School Shipper, i've been too used in only ever getting crumbs and have barely ever shipped anything canon in My Life and if i do it's often to get disappointed with how canon writes it so i'm honrestly really content with the granblue stuff regardless 😔

#ichablogging gbf #ichafantalks gbf #infullmoon #ichareply #fun story one day with my crew we were playing a drawing game on a website #we had put a lot of gbf characters in the list and one person would have to draw them and make the other guess #and at some point the friend making us guess gave up and wrote 'lesbian' on the sheet #leading to us shooting about 7 different names in the chat - failing - and then going 'DO YOU KNOW HOW LITTLE THAT NARROWS IT DOWN'#it lives in my mind rentfree so at least there's that

Art F City: This Week’s Must-See Art Events: Winter is Coming

The Whitney Biennial Installation view. Photo: Paddy Johnson

The week is of course dominated by two news items: The Whitney Biennial and The Wintery Downfall.

After the blizzard, Wednesday is a great opportunity to get yourself in the snowy mood, art-wise. Enjoy doses of culture from freezing, windswept regions, including Marsden Hartley’s Maine at The Met Breuer (if you’re missing the Whitney’s old digs) and Berlin-based Danish/Norwegian duo Elmgreen & Dragset in conversation with Dan Cameron at The Flag Art Foundation. Later, catch the Icelandic thriller Hevn at Scandinavia House’s New Nordic Cinema screening series.

Other highlights include Fort Gansevoort’s female-perspective sports show March Madness Thursday night and TRANSFER’s four year birthday party, which will feature affordable editions from some of our favorite digital artists.

Oh yeah, and make time to check out the Biennial. I’m told it’s good, but “traumatic”. An appropriately bleak show to match our physical and political climate?

Mon

SVA Theater

333 West 23rd Street New York, NY 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.Website

Laura Larson and Mark Alice Durant Reading and Book Signing

Art writers Laura Larson and Mark Alice Durant will be reading from their respective books Hidden Mother and 27 Contexts: An Anecdotal History in Photography. Both deal with photography as a form of personal and cultural memory.

I know Mark Durant (who runs the fantastic art blog Saint Lucy) personally, and listening to him talk about art is such a pleasure. This is definitely the one thing worth braving the weather to attend.

Wed

The Met Breuer

945 Madison Ave New York, NY 10:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Website

Marsden Hartley's Maine

This exhibition traces the influence of Marsden Hartley’s native state of Maine on the artist’s practice. This should be good—Hartley is one of America’s most beloved painters—but also unique. No exhibition has ever focused on his hometown roots. Maine both offered the artist a space to experiment and a source of inspiration—from finding his voice as a landscape painter to being the source of personally-informed portraiture.

FLAG Art Foundation

545 West 25th Street New York, NY 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Website

Elmgreen & Dragset in Conversation with Dan Cameron

Elmgreen & Dragset remain two of my personal favorite contemporary artists because they always inspire good conversation. By that I mean their art world antics are both polarising and thought-provoking. Many a time, I’ve wished to be a fly on the wall of their studio.

Thankfully, the Berlin-based Scandinavian duo is headed to New York to talk shop with Istandbul Biennial curator Dan Cameron. They’ll discuss their work there, as well as a recent exhibition at the FLAG Art Foundation.

Definitely a can’t-miss.

Note: this event had previously been scheduled for Tuesday, but has been rescheduled thanks to the impending Winter snowstorm.

Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America

58 Park Avenue New York, NY 7:00 p.m.Website

New Nordic Cinema: Revenge /Hevn

Icelandic director Kjersti Steinsbø’s psychological revenge thriller Hevn sounds so good. The protagonist sets out to ruin the life of a man who wronged her sister. Along the way, she sews chaos in a small town.

How does Scandinavia, a region with basically no crime, always produce the best thrillers? Even the trailer gives me chills.

Thu

Berry Campbell Gallery

530 W 24th Street New York, NY 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.Website

Perle Fine: Prescience Series (1950s)

Perle Fine’s five-decade-long career was characterized by an impressive commitment to abstraction, which evolved following the arc of art history. Here, curators Martha Campbell and Christine Berry are focusing on Fine’s 1950s “Prescience Series” from the height of Ab-Ex. This is the era of some of her strongest paintings, in which Fine’s understanding of color is the most salient detail—where paint feels at its most liberated from her usual geometric or line-based compositional frameworks. Midcentury art history nerds take note.

Fort Gansevoort

5 Ninth Avenue New York, NY 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.Website

March Madness

Curators Hank Willis Thomas and Adam Shopkorn have cooked up one of the most singular exhibition concepts of the month: competition and athleticism from the perspective of all-star female artists.

What exactly will a show look like that features Nazi filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl alongside Miranda July? Madness indeed!

Artists: Gina Adams, Emma Amos, Kathryn Andrews, Kristin Baker, Sadie Barnette, Holly Bass, Zoe Buckman, Jordan Casteel, Elizbeth Catlett, Pamela Council, Renee Cox, Rineke Dijkstra, Rosalyn Drexler, Sylvie Fleury, Rin Johnson, Miranda July, Catherine Opie, Howardena Pindell, Cheryl Pope, Leni Riefenstahl, Faith Ringgold, Deborah Roberts, Martha Rosler, Alison Saar, Betye Saar, Collier Schorr, Laurel Shear, Cindy Sherman, Jean Shin, and Ashley Teamer.

Fri

Whitney Museum of American Art

99 Gansevoort Street New York, NY 10:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Website

2017 Whitney Biennial

The 78th Whitney Biennial is here. It’s the most important survey of American artists (see: people who live in New York or L.A., or Americans who live in a handful of European cities) and is pretty much mandatory viewing for the art world. This is the Biennial’s first edition in the Whitney’s new downtown digs, so I can’t wait to see what they’ve done with the place.

Paddy already checked out the press preview, an experience she says “can only be described as traumatic.” For example, the first piece she encountered was a VR experience of beating a man to death, courtesy of Jordan Wolfson. Given the current state of the country, it seems like an appropriate mirror of the times.

Artists: Zarouhie Abdalian, Basma Alsharif, Jo Baer, Eric Baudelaire, Robert Beavers, Larry Bell, Matt Browning, Susan Cianciolo, Mary Helena Clark, John Divola, Celeste Dupuy-Spencer, Rafa Esparza, Kevin Jerome Everson, GCC, Oto Gillen, Samara Golden, Casey Gollan, Victoria Sobel, Irena Haiduk, Lyle Ashton Harris, Tommy Hartung, Porpentine Charity Heartscape, Sky Hopinka, Shara Hughes, Aaron Flint Jamison, KAYA, Jon Kessler, James N. Kienitz Wilkins, Ajay Kurian, Deana Lawson, An-My Lê, Leigh Ledare, Dani Leventhal, Tala Madani, Park McArthur, Harold Mendez, Carrie Moyer, Ulrike Müller, Julien Nguyen, Tuan Andrew Nguyen, Raúl de Nieves, Aliza Nisenbaum, Occupy Museums, Pope.L, Postcommodity, Puppies Puppies, Asad Raza, Jessi Reaves, John Riepenhoff, Chemi Rosado-Seijo, Cameron Rowland, Beatriz Santiago Muñoz, Dana Schutz, Cauleen Smith, Frances Stark, Maya Stovall, Henry Taylor, Torey Thornton, Leslie Thornton, James Richards, Kaari Upson, Kamasi Washington, Leilah Weinraub, Jordan Wolfson, Anicka Yi

Sat

TRANSFER

1030 Metropolitan Ave Brooklyn, NY 4:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. Website

TRANSFER turns 4 // ARTIST TALK + GIFT SHOP

TRANSFER Gallery is one of our favorite spots in the city to see digital art IRL. It’s a niche that’s not known for its ease of salability, which makes the fact that TRANSFER has survived these four years (longer than many galleries who offer more market-friendly wares) even more impressive.

They’re celebrating with an accessible shop chock full of artist-made wares. This includes works ranging from $5-$1000, and multiples from some of our favorite artists such as Lorna Mills and Anthony Antonellis.

At 6 p.m., artists Alma Alloro and Claudia Hart will discuss their project to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus by applying the school’s philosophy to digital art making. Sounds promising!

106 Green

104 Green Street Brooklyn, NY 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Website

Lydia McCarthy: Ego Death

At least once a week, we come across an art opening that sounds so weird we have to recommend it out of pure curiosity. Here’s one such project. Lydia McCarthy’s new body of work references “Game Reality”, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, psychedelia and other New-Age-y topics. We’re not sure what the work will actually look like (they’re described as color film photographs that function as “talismans”) but the image above is certainly intriguing.

Here’s a kōan to ponder based on the exhibition statement: what’s the definition of “self care” if you’ve transcended “beyond self”?

THE JAVA PROJECT

252 Java Street Brooklyn, NY 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Website

Gina Dawson: Bad Tattoos

I don’t think I have ever personally related to an exhibition statement quite as much as this one:

“Bad tattoos should not be a mark of shame but a badge that a person was impulsive, had questionable judgment or, in place of a better word, was young. Sadly, the contemporary art world is overpopulated with work made by artists who were never young enough to have had a bad tattoo, resulting in a glut of safe, bland art that neither offends nor thrills.”

Gina Dawson’s sculptures mash-up nearly-readymade, easily identifiable materials into often absurd compositions. They’re a bit like inside jokes made manifest. As opposed to the cool irony associated with this genre (The Jogging, et al) Dawson’s work can feel endearingly awkward—much like a bad tattoo—an impulsive idea carried through to fruition.

Art Packing and Preparation for Artists Workshop

Are you an artist? Have you ever dropped off work for a show wrapped in newspaper in a plastic shopping bag? If you’ve answered yes to the above, this is the class for you.

Artist/art handler James Isherwood and dealer Jonathan Belli are offering tips about preparing/packing artwork for shipping. Please go to this. Every curator you work with will thank you.
