heart to heart // sanemi shinazugawa

something about seeing you pregnant & all dressed up gets sanemi feral, he just can’t keep his hands off you, even if you have plans.

click here to be tagged in my next work :)

content warnings: ageless blogs/minors dni - fem!reader - pregnancy mentions & pregnancy sex - reader in a dress - unprotected sex - sweet/intimate sex - handjob - slight praise - a bit of teasing - nicknames - not beta read its 4am lol

note: happy late mothers day, i spent more time on the banner than i did on the fic (/j) because i had a specific idea and now its no longer mothers day but hey, fuck it we ball

“Stop teasing me or just fuck me, we’re going to be late baby.” you mumbled, crossing your arms and glaring at your lover who had been kissing and feeling you up for the past 30 minutes, leaving you hot & bothered and also sexually frustrated.

“That’s my girl, I’ll be quick I promise.” Sanemi smirked, gently pushing you on your back, hovering over you and taking in his view. How could he not? Especially when you got all pretty and dressed up, showing off your small baby bump, the pregnancy glow practically shining through, making him go feral.

“Mhm Nemi, hurry up.” you whined, moving your dress up a bit & spreading your legs, giving him easier access. “Oh baby… you’re already drenched, were you that desperate?” he fake pitied you, referring to the damp spot on your panties as he teasingly rubbed you through the fabric.

“You’re so mean, Nemi.” you whined a bit, being desperate to be touched, to feel anything in general. “You love me.” Sanemi smirked, pulling your panties down just enough to slide in easily. Quickly, he got rid of most of his clothes, spitting on his cock as lube after and giving his hard member a few pumps before lining up with your entrance.

“I bet I can just slide in, can’t I baby?” “You’ve taken this cock so many times after all.”

“Well then just do it, we’re in a hurry.” you told him sternly, only for him to laugh as he teased you with his tip. “Easy baby, easy.” Sanemi hushed you, slowly pushing in inch by inch, grabbing your hand and intertwining your fingers in the process.

“You’re so fucking breathtaking.” Sanemi groaned, giving you a second to adjust while he looked down at you, looking at you with all the love & lust in the world. Sanemi just absolutely loved how you looked when pregnant, your small bump, your stretch marks, your chest getting slightly bigger, all of it being a result and a reminder of yet another creation of you two. His huge breeding kink played hand in hand with it, that probably being the reason that this was your third kid on the way.

“Even when I’m like t-this?” you questioned, a moan slipping out mid sentence as Sanemi slowly started moving, not giving you a chance to properly say it. “Always and forever.” he mumbled between kisses, resting his forehead against yours afterwards.

A small giggle left your lips as you closed your eyes, enjoying the moment and allowing yourself to get lost in pleasure as you squeezed his hand. You were so lucky to get a sweet and caring boyfriend like him, even though his attitude was something else to deal with, he had this sweet & loving side to him, one you’d never trade for anything in the world.

“I love you.” Sanemi groaned, burying his face into your neck as he picked up his pace a bit more, trying his back to hold back and not to be too rough. Even though all he wanted to do was fuck you hard & rough, get you dumb on his cock, he couldn’t, at least not right now. He never dared to be too rough with you through your pregnancies, he put your pleasure before his, because seeing you feeling good was more than enough for him to get off too.

“Mhm— I love you too.” you smiled, running your hand through his hair as he left kisses on your neck, sucking & licking on some spots, leaving behind his mark, making you moan into his ear and pull on his hair.

“Like it when I mark you up, don’t you?” Sanemi mumbled against your neck, the sound of skin slapping against each other filling the room as he fucked into you at a languid pace, his tip kissing your sweet spot with every thrust, making you see stars.

You were extremely sensitive and needy the past few days, so sensitive that you easily came and lost yourself in pleasure, leaving you yearning for your husband’s touch. Lucky for you, he didn’t mind it at all and was there to tend your needs at all times.

“You k-know I do.” you whimpered, bucking your hips up for more friction, only for Sanemi to hold you back. “Relax my love.” he told you sweetly, pampering you in kisses while his hand slid between your legs and he gently started to rub your clit, never slowing down his movements in the process.

“Just lay down and enjoy yourself— fuck.” “Just let me do the work alright?”

All you could do was nod desperately and grab onto his back, slightly digging your nails in as you moaned and blabbered on about how good he was making you feel and how you wanted more.

You were just like putty in his hands, ice that was melting under his warm touch. Sanemi knew your body like the back of his hand after all.

“R-Right there, don’t stop, please.” you begged, your legs slightly trembling as you felt that familiar knot. “Good girl, go ahead and cum for me whenever you’re ready.” Sanemi whispered into your ear, his thrusts becoming a bit rougher while he continued rubbing your clit, knowing from the way your body reacted, you were ready to snap at any given moment.

That was all you needed to hear before you released around him, crying out his name and holding onto him for support as your orgasm came crashing down. “There you go, that’s my girl.” Sanemi praised you, helping you through your high, ignoring his own needs, placing sweet kisses on your cheeks.

“T-Thank you Nemi.” you smiled at him, catching your breath as you ran your hands through his hair, relaxing after a moment until you realized something. “Baby?” you asked sweetly, breathe still a bit shaky from your orgasm.

“Yes?” Sanemi answered, looking at you as he slowly pulled out, leaving you both gasping. “You didn’t cum, did you?” you continued, stroking his sides gently while locking eyes with his, knowing he couldn’t lie to you.

“It’s alright— you enjoyed yourself didn’t you?” Sanemi reassured you, laying down next to you happily and you shook your head. “I did but still…” you mumbled, hand trailing down his chest, slightly teasing his length before wrapping your fingers around it after, starting to pump up and down.

“You’re still rock hard baby, I wanna see you cum.” you pouted a bit, looking at his tinted cheeks as you continued, picking up your pace as he became more vocal with each passing second. “Baby… i-it’s ok.” Sanemi tried to convince you, cock twitching in your hands after, ruining his plans. You knew he was close, it was only a matter of time.

“Stop being so stubborn and cum, cum for me baby.” you whispered into his ear, giggling a bit when he desperately fucked into your fist, releasing all over your hand and his chest seconds later. “There you go.” you smirked, helping him through his high and licking your fingers clean after while maintaining eye contact with him.

“We’re so late aren’t we.” Sanemi breathed out, pulling you in a needy kiss after catching his breath, not giving you a chance to reply. He groaned a bit when tasting himself on your tongue, gently placing his hands on your sides.

“And who’s fault is that?” you frowned, pulling back before he could deepen the kiss. “Well— you looked too good, I couldn’t help myself.” Sanemi shrugged and you playfully slapped him, rolling your eyes after.

“You’re a fucking idiot.” you laughed, being pampered in kisses by him once again. Sanemi was all giddy, smiling from ear to ear as he placed kisses all over your body, lastly on your little baby bump, looking up at you with a big smile.

“Happy mother’s day mama.”

✶ 𝐇𝐗𝐇 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐒: 𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 & 𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒, 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇 & 𝐃𝐀𝐌𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 Long story short, I have been thinking about this for wayyyyy too long now and wanted to get some ~thoughts~ & analysis written down! This post is going to be...fairly long, lol. Apologies in advance :D

Also, if you can’t see the last gif (the one for ‘holy’), click here. Tumblr keeps fucking up the image when i try to upload it :////

This post is probably going to be about 2/3 yorknew & phantom troupe/kurapika focused, 1/3 chimera ants, maybe with some references to other arcs (including manga-only arcs) mixed in. so, ofc, tons of spoilers ahead! also, i realize that my blog theme is hard to read (and i’m p sure clicking ‘keep reading’ sends you to the og post itself), so i’m linking the post w/ full text copy/pasted in on my art backup side blog (which has a more legible font) here.

✶ 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇 I’m sure absolutely nobody is surprised with me starting here - there is just. SO. MUCH. DEATH. in hxh. & right from the start, one thing I noticed that togashi really emphasized was the #4 and its connection to death. in japanese, chinese, and im p sure some other asian cultures the number 4 is pronounced like the word for death so it’s associated with death in general, and boy oh boy does the ‘deadly number 4′ thing show up E V E R Y W H E R E. we get to the hunter exam, and hisoka is applicant #44. kurapika is #404. i didn’t notice it at first, but this was so intentional holy shit. togashi is NOT SUBTLE.

So pika & hisoka are, right off the bat, associated with death. okay. and then there are even more clues to drive the point home: hisoka is member #4 in the phantom troupe, kurapika’s birthday is april 4th (aka 4/4). 100% not a coincidence (!!). with hisoka, it’s pretty obvious why togashi’s throwing all this death 444444 stuff around - dude is a psycho murder pedo clown, literally gets off on killing people (and there’s also the fact that judas sits 4th from the left in the last supper painting, and he’s sort of the judas equivalent for the phantom troupe). with kurapika, though, it’s a bit more subtle and woven deeper into his characterization, which i LOVE. togashi puts the mans in blue & gold & white (traditionally ‘pure’ or ‘heavenly’ colors), makes him so fucking kind & so good-hearted.....when he’s not relentlessly pursuing his revenge, ofc. more on this in the next section, but pika = death. togashi has made that v v v clear.

Backtracking a bit to hisoka, though, I also just wanted to point out the 4 is death symbolism in the fortunes too (GOD i love the fortunes): in one translation, he’s the false fourth moon, and in the og japanese (i think), he’s the false hare (4th in the lunar zodiac or w/e it’s called. i don’t know the japanese cultural influences here, but in the chinese legend that established the zodiac animals, they race across the heavenly river & the top 12 animals got zodiac slots. the hare finished 4th, so it’s #4 in the cycle).

And just as a final note, Tserriednich is the fourth prince of the kakin empire, and also another dude who has a hard-on for murder & other gory shit. again: togashi is not subtle with this, lmfao

✶ 𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐘, 𝐔𝐍𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐘 As probably everyone who’s gotten to yorknew knows, togashi is so 0 fucks given when he wants to be. I mean there’s the whole thing where he just. took New York and decided, Yorknew. LMFAO, but also, he made the main antag of that arc be named chrollo lucilfer, sit around in a ruined church, have a reversed cross coat, pale & dark-haired/dark-eyed, generally dressed in dark colors, very terrible murder guy. liiiike......chrollo x devil symbolism game is 1000/10 at this point lmaooo

And i know absolutely nothing about christianity in general, but pt/kurapika & yorknew arc is just so full of christian imagery/symbolism! one thing that i L O O O O O O V E though is how togashi really blurs the traditional christian-coded good/evil, holy/damned boundaries.

Back to kurapika: he wears gold and blue, his coloring is very stereotypically ‘angelic’, he’s precious and good and kind. his chains are all about ~judgment~ and ~healing~ - some of the chains are also in literal cross shapes, aren’t they? And the chain dagger in his own heart...the imagery is very startlingly similar to the immaculate heart of mary, where the swords stabbing thru the heart apparently represent seven sorrows. IDK much about this stuff other than the visual similarities; literally had to google ‘daggers through heart christianity?’ to even get the name of that thing LOL. anyway, at first, it seems like togashi establishes him as the ‘angel’, the ‘good’, the ‘holy’ in the angel/devil, good/evil, holy/damned dichotomy between him and chrollo.

But that’s not the end of the story. his entire storyline is driven by a huuuuuuuge giant desire for vengeance, first of all, and then there’s the scarlet eyes, which canonically are seen as demonic/cursed/what have you (according to one of the movies or smth? where they show pika as a 10 y/o?), and then we also have red eyes in modern culture being associated w pretty much the same thing (vampires, anyone?). the fight scene with uvo has everything in b&w besides the blood on his face & his red eyes & the moon (<<< more fortune foreshadowing & symbolism, i love to see it), and there are tonssss of scenes where he has to suppress his rage. so all of that is obviously not very angelic of him i would say LOL. in fact, what i find super interesting is that the scarlet/red eyes (which are ‘demonic’) is actually the driving factor behind his super powerful nen abilities; this ties in so well with the fortunes & death associations imo! the fortunes call him the ‘death-bringer’ in one translation, or ‘half-angel, half-death’, so that’s one side of pika = red eyes = death, but there’s also the fact that emperor time is literally draining his life force. so pika = death for both himself and others namely the pt, question mark?

Now for chrollo: togashi’s devil symbolism is EXTREMELY overt with him, but i love the subtler jesus references too. the church thing, obviously, and the st. peters cross which is cuz st peter respected jesus too much & didn’t think he was worthy to die in the same way as him (or something like that, i am the most atheist person in the world & hxh is literally my entire christian education pls) but is also used as an anti-christianity symbol these days. bandit’s secret looks like a bible, lbr, and mans has a cross tattoo.

Other things beyond visuals - 12 spiders, 12 apostles; hisoka’s betrayal, where member #4 can be thought to correspond to judas sitting 4th from left at last supper. and this miiiiight be a bit of a stretch, but i think the meteor city being the place of origin may also play into the blurred line between angel/devil and holy/damned here; meteors are defined as space rocks that are in earth’s atmosphere, becoming incandescent in the process. meteorites are for the kinds that actually reach the ground. and idk, lucifer was cast out of heaven / sky too right? so i think there might be some subtle fallen angel imagery/symbolism playing into the pt as well

✶ 𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 (𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒) Last section yay! i don’t have as much to say about this, besides when i was making chimera ant arc edits & realized that there might have been some subtle gon/meruem parallels???

So obviously, everyone knows that line killua says to gon - “you are light” - and then i was just remembering that meruem’s name means.... “light that illuminates all” (!!!!). maybe it’s a coincidence, but knowing togashi, i’m leaning towards nahhhh. there HAS TO be some kinda meaning there (!!).

Going back to the events of the chimera ant arc....ooh boy. let’s see: gon is optimistic & hopeful even in the face of kite potentially being dead, killua says he’s light, they find kite & dude is fucked up, gon is pissed. gets all angry & ~dark~, especially during the palace invasion when he’s staring pitou down as she fixes up komugi. then the actual fight against pitou: more darkness, more anger, but through it all there’s still light, namely his jajanken being very orange & fiery lookin.....and that final sequence, where he puts all his possible nen he’d ever have into his ~final form~ or wahtever & turns into a male version of true form!bisky but dressed in a crop top & short-shorts (i am SCARRED, btw. s c a r r e d !). there’s just huuuge flashes of light as that’s going on, and it reminded me of supernovas or dying stars when i was thinking about it, where the star is like, collapsing under its own weight? & burning thru its own fuel, until there’s nothing left except a dwarf or black hole or what have you. one final, extremely deadly burst of light & energy before death.

On the meruem side of things: born into a dark cave, exhibits a traditionally evil/cruel/wicked/whatever personality/traits so that has ppl associating him with darkness. then he gets to know komugi, starts to appreciate other aspects of humanity, seems like he could have actually turned into a decent person who doesn’t want to eat everyone - so that’s a ‘path to light’, maybe? - and then the extermination team yeets themselves into the palace, netero takes him out to bumfuck nowhere, they fight. netero’s fighting is just ALL light, from his giant ass golden 100-type guanyin bodhisattva to the poor man’s rose. again, there’s the sense of finality to it all, in a similar vein to dying stars: netero comes in determined to kill meruem no matter what, and we all know netero doesn’t flake. then we see netero get destroyed after the zero hand, and he triggers the rose, and everything is burning & on fire before the flames are put out and all turns dark again.

But wait!!! pouf & youpi revive meruem and all he does is play gungi with komugi, even with the poison of the rose. he eventually dies, and the gungi pieces in that final shot of them together (i am BAWLING just thinking about it holy shit) has one that’s all white, one that’s a black ring and white inside. i assume all white is for komugi, who has never done ANYTHING wrong in her LIFE, so i like to think that the 2nd one is for meruem - born “into darkness”, literally & figuratively, but he turns something like ‘good’ by the end. it’s interesting how togashi has sort of gone for a bit of a subversion here: the hero going from light to darkness, and the main antag from darkness to light.

✶ 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍 AahhhhHHHHHhhh so if you read all the way down here through my LONG rambles, tysm! i would LOVE LOVE LOVE to hear what other people think about all this, and i’ve FOR SURE missed tons and tons of stuff - chimera ants is just. SO MUCH. and i don’t know it as well as yorknew eeek.

I’m not sure if i’m really ~knowledgeable~ in any other areas relating to hxh, so this might be the only one of these that i do, but i definitely think about some of this - esp all the religious symbolism & #4 stuff - a ton! so in the meantime, if it’s of any interest, i’m just going to shamelessly plug my hxh x religious beliefs/superstitions edit series :D lots of love to all!!!

pls talk about your thoughts about chanhee and also the other concepts!! I always have such a hard time interpreting music and videos but i love to read about it

“bestie pls share ur thoughts on make your own concepts specifically chanhee’s but any others that are ur fave too 🎤- mar”

omg mar thank you for enabling me all day today 😭🥺🧡 thenks bestie ily :,)) and thank you too anon ! i should preface that T-T i have not read any other theories or analyses so these are just my opinions / impressions but i hope it’s entertaining to read about haha :p ! (feel free @ anyone to add on or share your thoughts too ! :,))

HYUNJAE - okay so audio cues... if you listen to the beginning there’s a sound of a bomb going off before the music starts ? and that ties into the dystopian / cyborg aesthetics that jump out at me of course, but what i immediately thought of was their no air perfo ? like we know hyunjae in the no air mv got that shot where he’s laying in the bathtub filled with water but also their kingdom performance with it also had those underwater shots ! so i think it ties into that... i feel like we saw in gen z, he’s a very straightforward person he says things on his mind which can come off as blunt but he thinks it’s better than not saying it ? which is interesting bc i think that speaks to his self- determined personality, he’s much more inclined to do whatever it takes to get something done, which i think falls perfectly in line with the “make your own air” phrase that he gets, if it’s something he needs he makes it himself, in a situational sense methinks u.u

JUYEON - JUYEON’S DJSKHDG i’m waiting for dri’s essay but in essence we see the gen z “juyeon is not such a good boy” shot and these text bubbles that pop up that say “sexy” “you so hot” “such a bad boy” and tbh i like this ‘concept’ ? for him better than his gen z one ? it’s not bc of the concept itself but i like the idea that he can “make your own character” as in he has the capability and power to be whoever he wants to ! you see him throwing white paint at the gen z canvas and i think ?! that’s symbolic of like a fresh canvas ! of remaking himself to whatever he wants bc the canvas is now blank again thanks to the white paint and flowers usually indicate spring ? so renewal and stuff like that ! i really like his, it’s also fun word play on “character” which has been juyeon’s intro in tbz (bc his name sounds like main character in korean) but yea :o ! i really love his the idea he can just repaint / paint over a literal image of him gives it the possibility of becoming smth new and that’s so so cool

CHANGMIN - SCREEEEECH okie um oh boy um *windows shutting down noises* this was so so so very different from his gen z stuff but i actually think BOTH are equally perfect for him ? the way that he set up the sparklers and neon lights on this very obviously trashy and kind of rundown rooftop with the cityline behind him is so ?!?!? LITERALLY making his own stage as his tagline goes, sort of like how the physical stage itself does not matter but rather it’s changmin himself that makes the stage special ! i talked about this in gabi’s set that i rbed ;-;/ but changmin puts a lot A LOT of stake in his position as a dancer it means almost everything to him as a form of expression from what i can see ? so he’s always trying his best to put forward the best performance possible and seeing this segment makes me feel like he’s doing just that ! pouring himself into it to make his stage pls i care him

HAKNYEON - god i’m a jusadan but just u.u rest in peace me, i’ll ... T_T be kind of honest this one confuses me a little ? i have assumptions and i feel like i know ... quite a bit about haknyeon (LMAO) my best guess is it has smth to do with self assurance ...? the way he’s framed and the fact that he’s sitting on a bed in the middle of a church surrounded by candles gives me christ figure symbolism (where my ap english takers at :/) and the light that perfectly frames him in a halo gives me angel vibes too, but the tagline of “make your own romance” paired with him kissing his reflection makes me think it’s about self love ;;;; from what i can tell haknyeon has always been someone who really likes feeling validated and praised for the stuff he does well, which he does for himself a lot of the times too ! but sometimes i think the self assurances he compliments himself with is more for reassuring himself rather than bragging (which i think people misinterpret) so it’s more about becoming the person he wants to fully love and being happie with himself which *tears* i might be reading too much into who knows i just love him ok ... U.U

KEBINNN - i know !!! dri mentioned this in my gifset tags but ! kev on kpop daebak (? was it) or smth mentioned how he strives to keep a childlike wonderment for the world around him, which is a reason why i think he loves drawing and sound / music production, he talked in a fancafe post once about an artist who turned mediocre everyday objects into art and he said he really loves that sense of wonderment so peter pan who “never grows up” is actually perfect for his worldview ahhhh T^T also kev really likes disney lmao, the way he’s doing this outside in this “neverland” garden on a balcony which is a part of this very typical apartment backed by a typical city bg also i believe ties into this turning a mediocre everyday thing into smth wonderful through his sense of childlike wonderment and his tagline of “make your own fantasy” (i also care him a lot this concept >>>>>>) and keeps to his referencing movie plotlines like he did in gen z jddkfj

SUNWOO - i also mentioned this in my tags on sunu’s set but this gives me 100 degrees vibes which i still to this day think is one of the most “sunwoo” vibe things ever, it’s a lot of him having fun and doing his own thing, and mixes both more mature and youthful aspects together in a way that i’d only ever describe as sunwoo vibes LMAO like the roller skating around and all the soap bubbles ! cute and youthful ! the crop top and celine wasitband (don’t laugh at me we all noticed) more mature and a callback to his gen z look methinks U.u, think sunwoo has always been a more go-with-the-flow or do whatever he feels like doing sort of person and so “make your own vibe” fits well with him in that sense to me

SANGYEON - .... *silence* *more windows shutting down noises* *jess.exe has stopped working* OKAY i feel like ! sangyeon’s is also more self explanatory :p i love the juxtaposition of boxing AND the arcade type fighter games ?? like both require very different sets of skills i feel like one is more physical the other is more mental ? but both require adapting to changes whether in the game or the boxing ring which as leader sangyeon would know a lot about, esp being flexible and quick to respond to different situations, and the “make your own glory” i feel is maybe more on the nose, but tbz are this man’s pride and joy you can see it literally anywhere and for him, as leader, to have made it this far with tbz, winning rtk and building their popularity through their hard work and efforts really is building his own glory and i just HHHHHHHHHH

YES EYYSFDHSHF CHANHEE YES - i said it in the tags of my srb before deleting it so i’ll just repeat it here but CHOI CHANHEE !!!!! this detail i didn’t quite process first watch was the continuous flashing of lights in all his scenes, like ... from the shots and the set it looks REALLY empty ?? but the flashing seems to indicate cameras and photos being taken of him despite there being no people we can really see in any of the shots ? WHICH IS SO COOL i think the implication is like “all eyes on him” type which SO TRU i love that idea, like i said the walking past the wedding dresses ? v heavily implies fashion designer which i think you mentioned mar :o ! and i see it in the sense of his tagline “make your own stereotype” bc white wedding dresses are the very traditional / typical choice and obviously feminine in stereotypes, whereas chanhee is wearing a SUIT which is all black in a very clean b/w set with no color which i feel is very stereotypically MASCULINE and the glasses too, it’s such an interesting contrast of his “stereotypically feminine” features (in my view) with very masculine symbols, like glasses we usually associate with more soft hearted / meek stereotypes ? but the geometric shape of the windows and again his suit seems to indicate the very opposite ? it’s a mixing of stereotypes which i think is the point, by putting those together he quite literally makes his own stereotype and puts on the crown while the cameras continue flashing while pointed at him AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

YOUNGHOON - okie might have less to say about this one :o i feel like both hak’s and younghoon’s i don’t see the connections quite as readily but ! i think it’s interesting that his tagline is “make your own classic” but then in the scenes itself he has a flip phone ??? with an antenna (okay boomer /j JDHFKFG JK PLS) and a teddy bear while in PERIOD stylized clothing and setting where those two things are more modern / contemporary in origin (but also not modern enough bc ,,, it’s a flip phone LOL) like 90s kid vibes ? you know but as an emperor in the joseon era haha :p while eating shrimp chips and reading a (comic ?) book, like idk too much of what it means but it’s a cool dichotomy LOL, think it might also tie into actor ! hoon bc it’s make your own classic and i think acting has become a very important aspect to him :o after seeing what he’s capable of in love revolution and his atbz video so it’s interesting u.u (need help w/ this one)

JACOB - think my explanation in han’s set’s tags didn’t really make sense so lemme ... reexplain LOL,,, so ! similar to his gen z video ? like he’s talked about how difficult it is to open up about his own feelings etc. and he said it’s less bc he realizes he needs to but rather just to make other people feel more comfortable when it comes to understanding him, and like the whole breaking the mirror with his reflection in the wanna be angry jacob, it’s about freeing himself to the point he can express the emotions he wants to ! in gen z it was about being able to be angry when he felt that way instead of being tied by his image of being just nice ? and in the video with his pilot uniform not only does he control the ride but he also rides on it himself ! quite literally making his own freedom (symbolically), a sort of realizing he can free himself ? from what’s been tying him down and i think the really big smile he has while riding it just comes to show how he wants to feel :,))) (jacob bae i care you)

ERIC - last one :p AHHH this is one of my favs too, the quite literal “make your own pride” I LOVE IT ! sooo i think the biggest takeaway i got was that of course in this video his “pride” is symbolized by the hot pink car (that he’s going to pick up his christmassy date in of course u.u if he has a license which he does n- his driver’s license in this was literally his aaa / boy version of reveal photo which in no dmv anywhere would a license picture be allowed to look that good-) and LITERALLY when he finished and takes it for a joy ride while sitting on the roof he’s STILL covered in the dirt and grime stains ! from working on it ! which i think is so symbolic ! it’s my favorite detail actually, he literally put sweat into this car which is his pride and now that he’s finally riding around in it, it feels accomplishing ! his pride ! love that, also when he’s grabbing a stub from that flyer i noticed he chose “youth” over the others (which was like .... ca$h, beauty, ice cream, hamburger...) which i think also just indicates that despite all this hard work he put in he still cherishes his youth and still lets that be a huge part of who he is (i mean pink car so of course) so idk i think it’s very neat go bestie mwah

#sunnew #anon #asks #not tbz #jess.replies #be your own king analysis #I WROTE SO MUCH PLS #even more than my gen z analysis i think #anyway if anyone reads all of this oof thank you #HHHEEELP #i just did all of them ....#my weakest ones are def hak sunwoo yh #idk but i like what i came up with for the others ! ^^#i've seen a few twt threads but haven't read any lol #wrote the most about chanhee but no one is surprised of course

Character Details: Ambrose

just a quick warning, since this is pretty detailed, ill be putting as much detail as i feel like into this! which means things you probably didnt want to know. youve been warned. additionally, for my own sake, this is only for the crystal version of ambrose. thank you ilu

full name. Ambrose Metaxas ; birth name J’nah Vacho/Tia pronunciation. ahm-bro-s meh-tax-us nicknames. amby, amb, rosey/rosie, blue, baobao height. 4′11″ (possibly.) age. 19 zodiac. Nymeia patron, Aquarius zodiac languages. Dravanian/Dragonspeak, ‘Old Elezen’/Landlord, Common/Eorzean (spoken only)

physical characteristics.

hair colour. Natural hair color is a light pink, but tends to dye it in black or brown. eye colour. Cyan, with white pupils. skin tone. Brown. body type. Muscular, but not defined. Fat covers most of his stomach and legs, the most defined muscles being on his arms. Has a wider waist, with thick thighs comprised of muscle and fat. accent. Otherworldly, on the surface. He sounds like he’s using his entire throat to speak, coupled with the occasional accidental snarl. To people who have joined in the chorus (understand dragonspeak/dravanian, are dragons in nature, etc) Ambrose sounds gentle and like a young man of his age. When excited, he gets a little higher pitched- Around the right people, that is. dominant hand. He’s ambidextrous (ironically) but typically uses left hand. posture. He stands straight, with little slouch. Warriors do not slouch, and nor do soldiers. Has a tendency to sit with his hands between his legs. scars. Plenty, mostly from terrible decisions. Notable ones are primarily on his arms, smaller ones from repeat summoning as a child that have long since dulled, ones from swords and magical burns, and one notable one that spans both of his forearms, a slash from a Temple Knight’s sword in an attempt to end him. There are also a few smaller scars on his torso, but the only larger ones are underneath his breasts, but they aren’t noticeable unless you look for them. tattoos. Arcane symbols that divide his upper body into sections like a butchering diagram. Made of Arcane ink and with smaller implants of Allagan origin. Stripes also follow on his upper body, furred portion of his legs, back, back of the neck, and face. most noticeable features. Eyes appear to lack pupils. Tail is huge and fluffy, calves are digitigrade ending with paws, appears to have retractable claws when observed closely, fangs appear to be large enough that they shouldn’t fit so snugly in his mouth, nose seems to be more catlike, and hands/fingers have small pads.

Tailfeather, Dravania. birth weight / height. n/a (he was a fat baby tho) manner of birth. n/a (probably just summoned into the world who knows) first words. "Apple.” siblings.

Kind of. They’re working on it. financial status. Well off, even without Ren. Just manages his own money poorly. vices. Ambrose has a weakness to people who are simply kind to him from the getgo, a problem he had since he was little, trusting people relatively blindly so long as he’s treated well. Additionally, he has been prone to a slight drinking problem in his past due to it being the cheapest painkiller available when he was imprisoned. Otherwise, he’s desperate for attention and affection, and due to his own inexperience, is blind to certain boundaries in love, romance, sex, and all things relating to it. He does consider friends past a certain point as family as well, which can result in.. Problems, sometimes.

sex & romance.

sexual orientation. homosexual romantic orientation. homoromantic preferred emotional role. submissive | dominant | switch | unsure preferred sexual role. submissive | dominant | switch | sex repulsed libido. Not very high, but he’s easy to get caught up in feelings and the moment. The quickest way to get him in bed is to follow his turn ons to the letter, and add in a little bit of praise and affection. He isn’t one to ask unless you’re fairly close to him. turn ons. treating him like a delicate little flower or treated like an object, secretly. He loves being roughed around, and praised for any little thing. Has a slight thing for being marked/claimed, and likes just being felt, mostly near the base of his tail (his tail is only sensitive at the tip and base) and his chest/nipples. Also enjoys having his nipples played with and sucked on. Also because of Ren, having casual conversation during sex. turn offs. Blood. Any injuries being made to him or his partner that aren’t just bruises. Pulling on his ears or tail. Anything to do with his feet (though he doesn’t mind people playing with his toebeans, it’s not a turn on). Any mention of him being better if he were still a woman. Complete silence. love language. Wrapping his tail around his partner. Constantly trying to keep them as close as possible. Little kisses on the chin and cheeks, and deep kisses with lips. Scratching at his partner’s back in certain positions. Feeling his partner and nuzzling them constantly. relationship tendencies. Little gifts of affection, coupled with warm cuddles and needing to be close at all times. He can’t stand being separated for too long, and if he has to be, he gravitates back to his partner immediately. Wants to be held and cuddled, and is just a bit demanding. Supportive and his partners biggest cheerleader. Obsessed with his partner to an unhealthy point. Not controlling, but wants to know every little thing on his partner to make sure they’re always safe and always happy.

miscellaneous.

hobbies to pass the time. Flowers. Just. Flowers. Talking to people he trusts. Trying recipes he’s never heard of. Some baking (he prefers making meals, but his cookies are great). Taking long walks. Snuggling Ren. mental illnesses. PTSD. Chronic Depression. Probably more, but I’ll be honest, I’ve never looked into it. physical illnesses. His summoning ability leaves him a shade of a man, and if a primal takes over his mind, it turns quite literal. He considers it a blight on himself. Otherwise, physically usually healthy. left or right brained. Neither, apparently. (i’d say left) fears. Complete abandonment. Being somewhere completely silent. Everyone he knows dying all at once. Being surrounded by blood and gore. Blood and gore on white. Large fires. Burnt flesh. Ser Charibert. The leader of his heretic group before the Enlightened ones. Things he can’t see. Not being able to see. self confidence level. Average, but dips into poor frequently. Usually holds his head high due in part of the teachings of his ‘father’ and leader, Esredes. Will refuse many things simply because of his personal pride. vulnerabilities. His ability backfiring. His thighs are strong, but his calves are an easy target. Struggles in high heat environments due to growing up primarily in a temperate to frozen environment. Many things will trigger Ambrose into a panic attack, and he doesn’t know everything that will and won’t.

[04:55] VM: Hello

[04:56] TA: ✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:* Why hello there! :D *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

[04:56] TA: ✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:* It's such ★ tre★t to get ★ mess★ge from someone. I so r★rely h★ve others to t★lk to. *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

[04:57] VM: Oh my, I love your quirk

[04:57] VM: Like

[04:57] VM: So much

[04:58] TA: ✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:* Why th★nk you! I've ★lw★ys ★dored sp★ce ★nd the st★rs, so I figured it would be ★ perfect theme for my quirk! It ★dds ★ nice bit of ★esthetic ple★sure, don't you think? Honestly, some quirks c★n be so dull, if I must s★y, so why not j★zz it up with something pretty, right? *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

[04:58] TA: ✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:* My n★me is T★ntor Elig★s, by the w★y. Non-subjuggul★tor ★nd fifty-seven sweeps *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

[05:00] VM: Aaaa, you're right, I really love stars too

[05:00] VM: And

[05:00] VM: It's so nice to meet you :>

[05:02] TA: ✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:* The ple★sure is ★ll mine! ★s I've s★id, not m★ny re★ch out to me for convers★tion. I've been told my ch★ttiness is excessive ★nd overwhelming to the point of murderous ★nnoy★nce, in one p★rticul★r c★se. *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

[05:03] TA: ✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:* I got my thro★t ripped right open! It's ★ mir★cle I didn't bleed out ★nd die! *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

[05:04] VM: Awww, I think this is really sweet actually :>

[05:04] TA: ✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:* Wonderful, wonderful! :D *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

[05:05] TA: ✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:* I c★n't help but notice you don't use ★ quirk, ★nd your text is unusu★lly bright. Is there ★ p★rticul★r re★son for th★t, or do you just not w★nt to be bothered with following convention? *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

[05:06] VM: Oh, I just got on pesterchum actually, haven't really had time to think about anything x"

[05:07] TA: ✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:* ★h! Th★t m★kes sense. :) I remember when I first joined pesterchum, I didn't know quirks were even ★ thing. I w★s dre★dfully confused by people using seemingly r★ndom symbols ★nd wh★tnot in their speech until someone filled me in. *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

[05:08] TA: ✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:* My first ★ttempt ★t ★ quirk w★s such ★ mess. It w★s nigh unre★d★ble! XD There were st★rs ★nd sp★rkles, flowers, b★ckw★rds letters, symbols th★t v★guely resembled other letters. It w★s truly ★ sight, not to mention frustr★ting for others to try to re★d. *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

[05:09] TA: ✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:* Eventu★lly I reworked it into something simple ★nd just kept the st★rs ★nd sp★rkles. *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

[05:10] VM: Ow, that's cute. I can't even decide on a color honestly ^^'

[05:12] TA: ✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:* I think wh★t you've got now is lovely. Honestly, this pl★net could st★nd to h★ve more people with bright p★stels ★nd vibr★nt colors. In f★ct, before I decided to just use my blood color, I would use bright colors ★s well. Sometimes I would even ch★nge colors just to see how people would re★ct. :D Their re★ctions were mostly b★d with m★ny ★ccusing me of being some kind of mut★nt bec★use

[05:12] TA: they ★ssumed the bright colors I used were my blood color. *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

[05:14] VM: Oooh, I had a much brighter and lighter blue but people said it was unreadable '~'

[05:15] TA: ✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:* Yes, th★t c★n be ★ problem ★s well. Though for wh★t it's worth, I h★ve no trouble re★ding your mess★ges. I s★y you keep this fr★nkly lovely sh★de of blue. :) *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

[05:17] VM: Uh, I'm like, you can call me Whos

[05:20] TA: ✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:* Oh! :O ★ troll who doesn't follow the six by six n★ming convention! Th★t's so r★re to find on this pl★net. In ★ll my sweeps, I've only met one other who broke the mold, but only their first n★me didn't fit. It w★s seven letters inste★d of six, ★nd even th★t w★sn't quite their n★me. They ★dded the extr★ letter bec★use they thought their n★me looked better th★t w★y. *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

[05:21] TA: ✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:* Is Whos re★lly the n★me you were given, or is it ★ nickn★me of sorts? *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

[05:21] VM: Oh no no, my full name is Whoisv Andyke actually x"

[05:21] VM: Whos is just shorter

[05:22] TA: ✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:* ★h! Th★t m★kes sense. :) *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

[05:24] TA: ✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:* I thought ★bout going by ★ shorter n★me, but mine doesn't lend itself well to ★bbrevi★tions. Most of wh★t I c★me up with w★s just silly sounding, though I suppose I don't mind too much. I r★ther like my n★me, even if it does seem like something someone m★de up. I doubt it h★s ★ny kind of me★ning wh★tsoever, but I suppose ★ lot of people's n★mes ★re like th★t. *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

[05:25] VM: I think that your name sounds really nice :>

[05:28] TA: ✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:* Goodness, you're ★bsolutely too kind. :) I wish there were more trolls on this pl★net th★t were more like you, especi★lly since you don't mind the f★ct I t★lk so much. It's honestly such ★ relief not h★ving to reign myself in or getting scolded or murdered for my incess★nt n★ttering. *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

[05:30] VM: Oh, thank you :> I mean it's not like you're doing the talking for me, but I'm not really well with people, so it also helps me a lot!

[05:35] TA: ✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:* Excellent! :D Well, I'm gl★d I could be of service. I know it c★n be h★rd to t★lk to people on this pl★net, ★nd the f★ct th★t t★lking with you h★s helped ★t ★ll is ★ gre★t joy. *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

[05:37] VM: Umm, I don't know, I guess I just never know what to say! And I'm kinda slow processing the information, never coming up with a clever or funny answer x"

[05:40] TA: ✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:* Well then it sounds like you just need to meet more p★tient trolls! There's no sh★me ★t being ★ little slow in convers★tion or l★cking in things to s★y. I'm sure with ★ bit of pr★ctice ★t it, you'll be ★ble to find things to t★lk ★bout. ★nd don't worry ★bout l★cking in funny or clever quips. Not everything needs th★t. Sometimes words ★re just words, ★nd th★t's perfectly re★son★ble ★nd o

Methodology / Explanation: idea, concept, metaphor, meaning, intention/ workflow/ Theoretical aid

Methodology／Explanation: People drink water every day, and human beings need water every day. Does human being need art every day as drinking water? I have recorded the design process／workflow of 100 days in the way of drinking water every day. Designing a poster every day could be regarded as drinking a bottle of water every day, reading a piece of art every day can be treated as consuming water every day. Drinking 100 bottles of water on 100 days and commercializing 100 pieces of art on 100 days. Water is the same, bottle is the same, BUT art is constantly changing. I have been thinking over and over again what kind of people need art？It is hard to figure out the accurate answer, but I realized that somewhere art has been reduced to a tool of racial, regional, and identity discrimination, OR a means of commercial profit, as well as a symbol of wealth. (Relevant resource: Demythologizing Consumption Practices: How Consumers Protect Their Field-Dependent Identity Investments from Devaluing Marketplace Myths/ Zeynep Arsel Craig J. Thompson/ Journal of Consumer Research, Volume 37, Issue 5, 1 February 2011, Pages 791–806，- Published: 26 August 2010). The intention of my work is clearly aiming at the consumption of commercial artwork. In terms of art and design courses, I personally think that Andy Warhol is a representative and pioneer personage in art and design both fields, his work is controversial in contemporary art as well as widely used in commercial design. And Piero Manzoni’s “Artist’s shit” more convincingly reflects the combination of design and art, Manzoni’s critical and metaphorical reification of the artist’s body, its processes and products, pointed the way towards an understanding of the persona of the artist and the product of the artist’s body as a consumable object. The Merdad'artista, the artist’s shit, dried naturally and canned ‘with no added preservatives’, was the perfect metaphor for the bodied and disembodied nature of artistic labour: the work of art as fully incorporated raw material, and its violent expulsion as commodity. Manzoni understood the creative act as part of the cycle of consumption: as a constant reprocessing, packaging, marketing, consuming, reprocessing, packaging, ad infinitum. (Piero Manzoni, 1998, p.45). Artist’s Shit was made at a time when Manzoni was producing a variety of works involving the fetishisation and commodification of his own body substances. These included marking eggs with his thumbprints before eating them, and selling balloons filled with his own breath. Of these works, the cans of Artist’s Shit have become the most notorious, in part because of a lingering uncertainty about whether they do indeed contain Manzoni’s faeces. At times when Manzoni’s reputation has seen the market value of these works increase, such uncertainties have imbued them with an additional level of irony. (Reference: Germano Celant, Piero Manzoni, New York 1972 Freddy Battino and Luca Palazzoli, Piero Manzoni: Catalogue raisonné, Milan 1991, pp.123-8, 472-5, catalogue no. 1053/4, reproduced p.472 Piero Manzoni, exhibition catalogue, Serpentine Gallery, London 1998, reproduced pp.201-6 in colour)

Implication / Metaphorical extension Sparkling water is a potable drinking liquid between normal water and beer, but sparkling water has more bubbles than normal water while lacking the alcohol component of beer. If normal water can be regarded as mediocrity, then the meaning of beer could be the excellent artworks of genuine art. If Art is inseparable from life, then water is an indispensable basic survival resource in life. But is sparkling water a basic survival source of life? I don’t think so, I liken sparkling water to some unleavened/unfermentable art pieces, which commercially active in the marketplace. If excellent artworks were beer, then those works would be fermented like beer and to be able to drive people crazy, addicted, and even forget themselves via the influence of alcohol. On the contrary, some artworks are like sparkling water which has only bubbles are like beer, but cannot resonate with viewers and merely left a tasteless interoception. But ironically, what are the criteria for judging fermented and unfermented a piece of art? I think only the viewer knows, in other words, It’s laughable to put a mark on a piece of art as if it were priced for a piece of art, 100 viewers might have 100 or more subjective opinions on a piece of art. (Pls refer to: Stephen David Ross, A Theory of Art: Inexhaustibility by Contrast-SUNY Series in Philosophy Series-SUNY series in systematic philosophy, SUNY Press, 1982, P.46-47)

Poster – explanation/Additional message/information: Rainbow flag. The rainbow flag, commonly known as the gay pride flag or LGBT pride flag, is a symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) pride and LGBT social movements. … The flag is typically flown horizontally, with the red stripe on top, as it would be in a natural rainbow. Dr.Andrew mentioned whether there is a concept of rainbow flag involved in my poster design during the latest individual tutorial? I didn’t explicitly point out and mention the concept exactly existed in my work, to my point of view that if a piece of art or design is going to be completely endowed with unchangeable meaning which is regrettable. Perfect is imperfect, why doesn’t Venus sculpture have arms？In my perspective, perhaps a piece of art leaves some space to viewer for imaging or questioning reflection that can be called authentic artwork. ———– In the concept of the rainbow flag, I just would like to convey that art could be the color of the rainbow flag, regardless of national boundaries, gender, age, race, etc… Art is supposed to be an inclusive word (Every country has their own art), regrettably, because of human existence, art becomes an exclusive tool.

Slogan “ Wish you were beer” was inspired by Pink Floy “wish you were here” 1975. This is one of my favorite songs especially the lyrics. Pink Floy was the first British band I knew, I have noticed that the metaphorical culture/ technique of the lyrics via Pink Floy albums. When I heard the song and spontaneously emerging the idea. Exactly, it was Pink Floy’s song that made me interested in Britain. Now, I can gradually understand why they wrote these songs.

Installation Introduction: Basically, my work is respectively presented by three parts: Image, Plinth, and Bottles (Please refer to the pictures above). Due to the course is named as Art and Design, firstly I assumed my work is a case of advertising design, thus the poster& promotion gimmick & products are essential parts in each advertising (Chris Hackley, Advertising and Promotion: Communicating Brands, SAGE, 2005, p.8-24). According to my hypothesis, the picture of 100 bottles in my work could be recognised as an advertising poster; the Water sculpture on the plinth can be regarded as a promotional gimmick in an advertising; of course the sparkling water bottles undoubtedly can be products of advertisement; well! “wish you were Beer” is obviously the slogan of my ads work. The three parts are enough to constitute a complete advertising case.( Donald L. Brady, Essentials of International Marketing, Routledge, 2014, p.279-297) After all, I placed my AD work in a gallery which denoted it would be exhibited as a piece of art.

Display Description: the Critical aspect of installation is the placement of each part of my work, a piece of art located in different places with different meanings. Wall, plinth, and floor are generally basic facilities of art gallery, so the three essential elements of advertising design (poster& promotion gimmick & product-3P) correspond to the infrastructure(Wall, plinth, floor) of art gallery. This was why I respectively placed them in the corresponding position.

Theoretical aid :

Andy Warhol (1930-1987) Interview with Gene Swenson: Bron in Pittsburgh, Warhol had moved to New York in 1949. For most of the 1950s he was a successful graphic designer, particularly in the field of shoe illustration. In the later 1950s he began to exhibit his own drawings, and in 1960 produced his first canvases depicting comic strip characters. The canonical repeated Soup Cans, Disasters, Elvises and Marilyns followed in 1962. Throughout this period of his transition from graphic designer to full-blown avant-garde artist Warhol was able to purchase works by contemporaries （That’s why I think Andy Warhol is a representative figure in art and design, his work can be utilized as a successful instance of Art&Design courses）such as Jasper Johns and Frank Stella, as well as by Marcel Duchamp. ‘POP ART’ became established as the latest vanguard movement in New York in 1962. The present interview was initially published as ‘What is pop art?’ Interviews with Eight Painters (part1) , Art news, New York, November 1963. Reprinted in John Russell and Suzi Gablik(eds), POP ART Redefined, London, 1969, pp. 116-19, from which the present text is taken.

AW: Someone said that Brecht wanted everybody to think alike. I want everybody to think alike. But Brecht wanted to do it through Communism, in a way. Russia is doing it under government. It’s happening here all by itself without being under a strict government; so if it’s working without trying, why can’t it work without being Communist? Everybody looks alike and acts alike, and we’re getting more and more that way. I think everybody should be a machine. I think everybody should like everybody.

Is that what Pop Art is all about?

AW: Yes. It’s liking things.

And liking things is like being a machine?

AW: Yes, because you do the same thing every time. You do it over and over again.

And you approve of that?

AW: Yes, because it’s all fantasy. It’s hard to be creative and it’s also hard not to think what you do is creative or hard not to be called creative because everybody is always talking about that and individuality. Everybody’s always being creative. And it’s so funny when you say things aren’t, like the shoe I would draw for an advertisement was called a ‘creation’ but the drawing of it was not. But I guess I believe in both ways. All these people who aren’t very good should be really good. Everybody is too good now, really. Like, how many actors are there? There are millions of actors. They’re all pretty good. And how many painters are there? Millions of painters and all pretty good. How can you say one style is better than another? You ought to be able to be an Abstract-Expressionist next week, or a Pop artist, or a realist, without feeling you’ve given up something. I think the artists who aren’t very good should become like everybody else so that people would like things that aren’t very good. It’s already happening. All you have to do is read the magazines and the catalogues. It’s this style or that style, this or that image of man – but that really doesn’t make any difference.

Some artists get left out that way, and why should they? Is Pop Art a fad?

AW: Yes, it’s a fad, but I don’t see what difference it makes. I just heard a rumor that G. quit working, that she’s given up art altogether. And everyone is saying how awful it is that A. gave up his style and is doing it in a different way. I don’t think so at all. If an artist can’t do any more, then he should just quit; and an artist ought to be able to change his style without feeling – bad. I heard that Lichtenstein said he might not be painting comic strips a year or two from now – I think that would be so great, to be able to change styles. And I think that’s what’s going to happen, that’s going to be the whole new scene. That’s probably one reason I’m using silk screens now. I think somebody should be able to do all my paintings for me. I haven’t been able to make every image clear and simple and the same as the first one. I think it would be so great if more people took up silk screens so that no one would know whether my picture was mine or somebody else’s.

It would turn art history upside down?

AW: Yes.

Is that your aim?

AW: No. The reason I’m painting this way is that I want to be a machine, and I feel that whatever I do and do machine-like is what I want to do.

Was commercial art more machine-like?

AW: No, it wasn’t. I was getting paid for it, and did anything they told me to do. If they told me to draw a shoe, Pd do it, and if they told me to correct it, I would – Fd do anything they told me to do, correct it and do it right. I’d have to invent and now I don’t; after all that ‘correction’, those commercial drawings would have feelings, they would have a style. The attitude of those who hired me had feeling or something to it; they knew what they wanted, they insisted; sometimes they got very emotional. The process of doing work in commercial art was machine-like, but the attitude had feeling to it.

Why did you start painting soup cans?

AW: Because I used to drink it. I used to have the same lunch every day, for twenty years, I guess, the same thing over and over again. Someone said my life has dominated me; I liked that idea. I used to want to live at the Waldorf Towers and have soup and a sandwich, like that scene in the restaurant in Naked Lunch… .

We went to see Dr No at Forty-second Street. It’s a fantastic movie, so cool. We walked outside and somebody threw a cherry bomb right in front of us, in this big crowd. And there was blood. I saw blood on people and all over. I felt like I was bleeding all over. I saw in the paper last week that there are more people throwing them – it’s just part of the scene – and hurting people. My show in Paris is going to be called ‘Death in America’. I’ll show the electric-chair pictures and the dogs in Birmingham and car wrecks and some suicide pictures.

Why did you start these ‘Death’ pictures?

AW: I believe in it. Did you see the Enquirer this week? It had ‘The Wreck that

Made Cops Cry’ – a head cut in half, the arms and hands just lying there. It’s

sick, but I’m sure it happens all the time. I’ve met a lot of cops recently. They

take pictures of everything, only it’s almost impossible to get pictures from them.

When did you start with the ‘Death’ series?

AW: I guess it was the big plane crash picture, the front page of a newspaper: 129 DIE. I was also painting the Marilyns. I realized that everything I was doing must have been Death. It was Christmas or Labor Day – a holiday -and every time you turned on the radio they said something like, ‘4 million are going to die’. That started it. But when you see a gruesome picture over and over again, it doesn’t really have any effect. But you’re still doing ‘Elizabeth Taylor’ pictures.

AW: I started those a long time ago, when she was so sick and everybody said she was going to die. Now I’m doing them all over, putting bright colors on her lips and eyes. My next series will be pornographic pictures. They will look blank; when you turn on the black lights, then you see them – big breasts and. … If a cop came in, you could just flick out the lights or turn to the regular lights

– how could you say that was pornography? But I’m still just practising with these yet. Segal did a sculpture of two people making love, but he cut it all up, I guess because he thought it was too pornographic to be art. Actually it was very beautiful, perhaps a little too good, or he may feel a little protective about art. When you read Genet you get all hot, and that makes some people say this is not art. The thing I like about it is that it makes you forget about style and that sort of thing; style isn’t really important.

Is ‘Pop’ a bad name?

AW: The name sounds so awful. DADA must have something to do with Pop

– it’s so funny, the names are really synonyms. Does anyone know what they’re supposed to mean or have to do with, those names? Johns and Rauschenberg – Neo-DADA for all these years, and everyone calling them derivative and unable to transform the things they use – are now called progenitors of Pop. It’s funny the way things change. I think John Cage has been very influential, and Merce Cunningham, too, maybe. Did you see that article in the Hudson Review [‘The End of the Renaissance?’, Summer, 1963]? It was about Cage and that whole crowd, but with a lot of big words like radical empiricism and teleology. Who knows? Maybe Jap and Bob were Neo-DADA and aren’t any more. History books are being rewritten all the time. It doesn’t matter what you do. Everybody just goes on thinking the same thing, and every year it gets more and more alike. Those who talk about individuality the most are the ones who most object to deviation, and in a few years it may be the other way around. Some day everybody will think just what they want to think, and then everybody will probably be thinking alike; that seems to be what is happening.

Corrupt and rotten through and through dealers, auction houses and artist like Hurst, let them all go bankrupt and the art market start anew. Its a real deal for those artist who specializes realism, they have pure jealous in there heart. they extent to the point questioning the Client’s taste! a genius artist as a human he thinks how he sell his paintings. imagine billions of people around the world, and everytime they want to buy painting they have no choices all of them doing realism. and then out of nowhere picasso broke that chain. if people love a cartoon looks then what if i put in a canvass and name it a cubism. and boom… it clicks!!!! if you study the behavior of a collector. they just collect what they want with out questioning the looks or image. they collect insects,shoes,bags, newspapers,coin,old appliances, old cellphone, pictures, etc…anything they want to collect regard less of looks and price if they want it they buy it. now if they like abstract paintings don’t question their taste, don’t force them to buy realism. put your self on them, what if you have billions in your pocket???? what will satisfy you? well simple you can not bring that in the after life so buy what you want, anything you want, you can not spend that money in your whole life after all.

Fake or Fortune S04 E02 Renoir video below

youtube

Nicky Philipps, a portrait artist renowned for her pictures of the royal family, has asked the Fake or Fortune team to investigate a painting which hangs on the walls of Picton Castle, once the Philipps family seat. The work was bought in the 1930s by Nicky’s great-grandfather, Sir Laurence Philipps, who believed it to be by celebrated impressionist Pierre Auguste Renoir. But the painting has been dogged by doubt for half a century, and two art world authorities can’t agree whether it’s genuine or fake.

Very interesting detective stories. It is too bad that the art world has so many incompetent “experts”, who cost people vast sums of money every year. This episode demonstrates that fact beyond any doubt. IMO, the entire art business is a criminal racket. Then by extension the governments that spend vast amounts of money on “art” and that money is seized from citizens or “subjects” are also criminal. I dont know what is more nauseating these so called “art experts” or that upper class arrogant twit with no manners. Living in a massive house she cant afford, oh well perhaps she can get a grant from the Tory government like Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg did, his aristocratic wife was given millions of taxpayers money to do up their mansion. I dont earn a lot a money and therefore live happily according to my means, perhaps she should do the same.This program shows how corrupt the art world is, I do enjoy the detective work they do though and also learning about the masters.

Candace Worth’s talk at the TEDxChelsea conference, held June 1, 2012 at the School of Visual Arts. The conference theme was “The true value of art is seldom what someone is willing to pay for it.” For more information or to apply for 2013, please go to TEDxChelsea.org. Candace Worth founded Worth Art Advisory in 2001 to bridge the gap between contemporary art collectors and the increasingly exclusive art world establishment. Candace began her career in the Contemporary Art Department at Christie’s auction house in the early 1990s. Since then, she has worked for a blue-chip gallery in New York City as well as an internet-based art consultancy. She now buys artwork for a highly diverse group of clients at all price levels, sourcing most of the work from across the United States and Europe. Candace currently serves on the board of the Drawing Center in New York City and has lectured on issues related to the contemporary art market at several art institutions, including the Rhode Island School of Design. Candace received her BA in Art History from the University of Pennsylvania and continued her studies in Art History at the Graduate School of Arts at Columbia University. worthartadvisory.com In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.

If art is only as valuable as what someone is willing to pay for it, than it is worth less than money. Also, Van Gogh’s art was, by her standards, worthless in his lifetime. Just imagine her in his lifetime arguing that his paintings were worthless because nobody would buy them. Art’s value is intrinsic. It’s what you get directly from it, irrespective of what the 1% are willing to spend on it. From her standpoint, the rich define what art is. Someone open the trap door!

when you can make something complicated look simple , the psychological aspect of art becomes common sense . some use the term enlightenment , but few ever explain what this means . why , well they don`t actually know what they pretend to project . the individual has no need for his story of art and critics are just obstacles to personal understanding . of course this has no value in a world of academic establishment as they would have to admit that everything they consider intellectual is a nurtured thought process . if you really think for yourself the conscious awareness opens and this frightens the so called genius`s because they daren`t admit they are not as clever as everyone has told them . until people daze solve the ignorance of man made exploitation this will continue.

If someone gave me one hundred million dollars for one of my paintings, would that make it one hundred million times better than if I gave the same art to a charity sale for free? We’re living in a vulgar world where everyone, including artists are judged by the size of their bank accounts. Billionaires live in huge apartments with Picasso’s on the walls, while poor people freeze to death in the street bellow… ‘Life’s a piece of shit, when you think of it.’ Quote from, 'The Life Of Brian.'

What pisses me off the most about this documentary? All of the paintings are done by white males. And the collectors? White males. This is the proof that this world still has one HELL of a long way to go to achieve equality and that white males are still perceived as the most valued humans? ( This is the racial issue in art I mentioned before) What a diluted crock of shit. (I didn��t mean to offend white men, just a matter of fact ) And not only that, but the most objectified subject IN the paints…women. And women sit back on their laurels and continue to passively endure this nonsense.

Archer demotes Andy Warhol to a “lesser artist” – he is not the first one to make that declaration. Warhol’s stature in the art world was the product of his position in the New York avant-garde, largely as a collector of personalities that were appropriated for his portraits. There was “Interview” and there were his trend-setting movies. But let’s not forget his hobnobbing with celebrities at Studio 54. (see his “Diaries” to get some idea of his intellectual depth) Would he have assumed great status if he had been the most famous artist in Pittsburgh? Probably not.
