OC Shenanigans. You just know it was all Matthäus Idea.

I also thought it'd be quite the fun exercise in drawing people interacting with each other - and it certainly was!

[ID: a digital drawing of Jeremy, Friederick, Matthäus and Machuriel, the artists OCs. Jeremy is in the upper right corner, leaning out of a window, grabbing Friedericks right hand with both of his. He's a Halfling with light brown skin and dark hair with lighter ends. He looks worried. Friederick is a gnome with light skin and brown hair in a long braid. He's holding onto Matthäus ankle with his left hand and doesn't look happy about it. Matthäus is a three headed Ratfolk with brown fur. He's dangling by his ankle and has his tail wrapped around Friedericks leg as he's curiously looking at Machuriel. Machuriel is standing on ground level so that they are at eye level with Matthäus. They are a Diathim with white glowing skin and blonde, curly hair held back by a headband. They are smiling and booping Matthäus nose with their left hand. The background is a light beige with black borders that are broken up by the characters. /End ID]

Meanwhile in my infant save, the Dieterich patriarch got a little touching up on his features

I feel like there is this big difference in our pnp group regarding the implications of playing aliens/non-humans. I WANT there to be a difference. I want Chiss to be creepy and off-putting and feral at times. I want Dawn's eyes to glow and I need his teeth to be just a little bit too long. I need him to snarl and hiss because he isn't just a human but blue.

But the others are now making jokes about him being weird and a furry and I'm like?? First off, that's not a bad thing to be but also

Embrace the uncanny valley

Embrace playing something non-human

It's FUN

this exam season it’s become my morning routine to take a uquiz which will assign me a poem before I start studying, and share the ones I really like🌷

Now this is a detective who'll be kind and respectful. He will also steal your pocket change tho so idk you win some you loose some.

Was mentioning how the one (1) thing BBC Sherlock was correct about was putting Watson in that sweater. It's also the main thing I remember from when I enjoyed it back in whenever it came out. And then @yamikakyuu suggested that I put Matthäus in the BBC Sherlock coat and well that was an absolute brilliant idea so I went to work. He has never looked more like three rats in a trench coat. I also added a Frederick in said sweater - left his trousers tho because I feel like they're such an important part of his character.

MWW Artwork of the Day (7/21/23) Gustav Klimt (Austrian, 1862–1918) Friedericke Maria Beer (1916) Oil on canvas, 68 x 130 cm. The Tel Aviv Museum of Art (Mizne-Blumental Collection)

Friederike-Maria suggested that Klimt should paint her in a Viennese Workshop dress; she wore these exclusively. She was also very proud of a fur coat she owned, particularly during the hardship of the First World War, and Klimt decided that she should wear the coat too, but inside out, so that the decorative lining, also by the Viennese Workshop, was visible. Klimt decided to make use of an imaginary oriental screen as a backdrop to her somewhat passive, symmetrical face. The scenes of figures fighting on horseback are taken from a Korean vase owned by Klimt and they are clearly a reference to the First World War. The fierce activity of these artificial figures is sharply contrasted with the docility of the sitter

So the DinCobb nation wants Alpha!Cobb/Omega!Din for my A/B/O Bridgerton AU, and that's what I will deliver.

Now I have to choose which characters is which (besides Din and Cobb of course). I currently decided about almost every characters (like Paz as Anthony, the Armorer as the Queen, Boba as Prince Friederick, ecc)

And someone will overlap with others because of plot reasons (like Bo-Katan will be a bit Eloise and a bit Rose, Fennec and Taanti both overlapping as Marcus and Lady Danbury).

But what's now litterally haunting me is: who the kriff will be Nigel Berbrook?! Because there's some characters in The Mandalorian that could fit into the dynamic, but I don't hate them at all. So here's another poll because, folks, I am really lost!

Blog Post #2

   In this second class, the main focus was Gesamtkunstwerk, which means a total work of art. Of course, that statement can be difficult to perceive. Although we can analyze pieces of media through the lenses of Karl Friederick, specifically under the popularized view established by Richard Wagner during the 19th century that presented theatre as the ultimate medium. Fortunately, artists today do not have the obligation to accommodate to this definition. And their pieces can be dissected via their medium and other elements or categories.

   Returning to last week’s blog post, about the movie Incendies, I would consider it Gesamtkunstwerk. Since not only is an audiovisual work, that includes music, environment design, acting, etc. It is also a tragedy in the same way as Oedipus. It would probably be approved by Friederik. It was also originally a theatre play. This film takes the ancient Greek tragedy in a contemporary setting, and as a well-crafted film, it resorts to the works of a scoring band, a dedicated cast, writers, stage supervisors, etc.

   Now, analyzing a different piece of media. Like the movie Network, from 1976. Which revolves around the people working in the news section of a TV station that is going to shut down due to low ratings. Today that movie is praised for its accuracy of how media in general, no matter the focus, has turned into entertainment that needs to cling to the average viewer’s life and finally turn into a parasocial relationship between the piece of media and the spectator. All social media today benefits from the perpetual attention of viewers.

   The movie is almost 50 years old, and yet, it touches on media convergence and how intertwined we are now with everything consumed by almost everyone in today’s society. Basically, the people running this news section turn it into a hit show not only tuned by everyone but with influence in their lives beyond watching the show. By that logic, their work, the news show, becomes not only Gesamtkunstwerk (the movie demonstrates all kinds of work behind the result) but also lies in the media convergence territory. It may be not digital because at that time everything was still analog, but it is still the connection of information among people with the technology available during those times. As I said before, the movie manages to show how a news section turns into entertainment to gain better ratings and the way they managed to do so is via parasocial relationships. By the end of the movie, the spectators augmented and no one wanted to be excluded, the news section became part of their routines. This connection by the end of the movie transforms into interdependence. Where people look forward to the (no longer) news show to alter their daily lives. 

    This cycle of media consumption and media production with the latest technology is what most of us live in our daily lives. And the movie The Network was able to do that in 1978.
