img768a : Flux and Quality in Nature's Time by Russell Moreton Via Flickr: Nature as “Comfort Zone” in the Films of Andrei Tarkovsky by Donato Totaro Volume 14, Issue 12 / December 2010 18 minutes (4324 words) Tarkovsky relies on nature and natural phenomena to underscore and often dictate the time-pressure (rhythm) of a shot. The movement of time, its flux and quality, flows from the life-process that is recorded in the shot. Even though the fires, downpours and gusts of wind are staged, re-shot or recreated there still remains the spontaneous element of “nature’s time” within the filmic time. Each of the natural events and elements (water, wind, fire, snow) have their own sustained rhythm. Tarkovsky uses these natural rhythms to express his own, that of his characters and the temporal shape of the film (23-24). offscreen.com/view/nature_as_comfort_zone

haha hey do you think his failure haunted him enough to replace his ghost

#danny phantom #danny phantom fanart #dp #dp fanart #vlad masters #hey. hey. do you ever think about how danny is the culmination of jack and maddie’s achievements in life #about how he’s a mixture of their attributes—not particularly skewing toward one or the other in color scheme or design #how their research (and accidental negligence lol) leads to his creation two times (birth and semi-death)#do you ever think about how danny is the final piece of their legacy. the only part either of them can hang on to #and he gets him killed.#HAHA anyway wooo! tried rendering a piece in this style for once! :D #ney’s art #its fiiiine its fiiiiiine this timeline doesn't exist anymore #... maybe

Research Study: Fandom & Generative AI still looking for participants!

I'm still recruiting research participants for my PhD dissertation study!!! If you've already participated, thanks so much! If you haven't participated yet, please consider responding to a quick survey, and sharing with your friends!

I'm interested in understanding fans' perspectives on and experiences with generative AI (text and image generation software). That means perceptions both positive and negative! However you feel about genAI, I'm interested in hearing from you. We're especially seeking diverse perspectives from underrepresented demographic groups of people.

If you're over 18, can speak/understand English, and are interested in participating you can learn more information and take the survey here. I've also made a FAQ post about the study that I've pinned to the top of the blog, and you can see more info on the shareable flyer below. You can also view posts on Twitter/X, Bluesky, and Reddit about the study and share info there! Spreading the word is greatly appreciated :)

The study is anonymous and voluntary, and you'll be asked about your fandom background, attitudes towards generative AI, and demographic information. The survey should take about 15-20 minutes, and you can skip over any questions you want. You can also elect to participate in a follow up interview, if you want to. The full details are on the consent form, which you'll be able to read before taking the survey! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

I’m choosing to believe that the Arcanist didn’t intend for the Aethers to eat paper and was incredibly distressed when they started doing so

#flight rising #fr #i think its funny when the gods fuck up a little with their creations #He made them to enjoy research papers and then realized with horror that they weren’t reading them they were shoveling them into their mouth

I scrolled through a reddit AMA with Martha Wells and someone asked what show from our world Murderbot would re-watch to calm down and she said The Great British Baking Show!!!!!

Now I am in desperate need of art of Murderbot with a chef's hat and a silly apron in ART's galley covered in flour and cursing next to a failure of a Tarte Tatin or whatever, because turns out that when you have never even touched a food item in your life, baking is WAY less relaxing than watching a show about baking.

#i'm CRYING i want to watch bake off with murderbot!!!!#the murderbot diaries #murderbot #asshole research transport #𓄿 #idek #at least I often catch myself thinking “well that can't be THAT difficult can it” watching Bake Off #when in reality i HATE baking because you have to follow the stupid recipe so meitculously #no room for creativity or a little Fun #and I am careless and IMPATIENT #so i feel like murderbot might foolishly think it should try it too??#still thinking about ART and cooking so I wonder if ART would be able to help?#making sure the oven is at the PERFECT temperature or whatever?#but like #doesn't #and if it was either told VERY explicitly to shut up and let Murderbot do its thing #or if it just thinks its funnier to watch #idkkkkkk #would any of the crew try to console murderbot by taking a bite of its horrid creation #and insisting that it's really not THAT bad??#until ART puts a stop to it #worried about its crew member's life or something #god #i really have murderbot brainrot rn

Roasted celery and potato soup

This soup is a great way to use up limp celery! It combines a base of roasted and puréed garlic, celery, and potatoes with a sweet, sour, and spicy tempering of chili, tamarind, jaggery, and lime. The result is an exploration of sour, citrusy, and nutty spices (mustard, annatto, fenugreek, coriander)—an earthy and savoury depth of flavor with a bright kick.

Recipe under the cut!

Patreon | Tip jar

Ingredients

For the soup:

1 head of celery (about 10 stalks)

4 medium yukon gold potatoes (800g)

1/2 head of garlic

About 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil

1/2 tsp black mustard seeds

1/2 tsp yellow mustard seeds

1/4 tsp annatto seeds

1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds

1/2 tsp black peppercorns

1/4 tsp coriander seeds

1/4 tsp ground ginger

Salt, to taste

4-5 cups (950 to 1000mL) vegetable stock

For the tempering:

1 Tbsp non-dairy margarine

1 dried red chili, broken in half

1/2 tsp black mustard seeds

2-3 Tbsp jaggery or brown sugar, to taste

3 Tbsp tamarind purée

1 Tbsp freshly-squeezed lime juice

1/4 tsp light Cantonese soy sauce (or substitute any other soy sauce)

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, or chili oil

To replace the tempering, you could use anything sour, sweet and savoury—try vegeterian Worchestershire sauce, or usata sosu.

Tamarind purée, often in jars or cans labeled "tamarind concentrate," can be found at east, southeast, and east Asian grocery stores. Blocks of dried tamarind pulp can also be purchased, seed-in or seedless. Break off about a tablespoon of tamarind pulp; soak it in a couple tablespoons of just-boiled water for about 30 minutes; palpate the pulp with your fingers and remove any tough seeds that you feel; blend the pulp and water together in a blender; then pass the resulting liquid through a sieve to remove any stringy bits or seed fragments.

Instructions:

1. In a small, dry skillet on medium heat, toast the coriander seeds, black peppercorns, and fenugreek seeds until spices are fragrant and fenugreek is a couple shades darker. Remove. Toast black and yellow mustard seeds for a minute or so until fragrant. Grind all spices (including the ginger) in a mortar and pestle or spice mill (I would recommend the latter—annatto is tough to pulverize).

2. Cut off the base of the head of celery to divide celery into stalks, then wash and drain. Cut each one into halves or thirds. Include some of the leaves, if you have them; optionally, reserve some for a garnish.

3. Cut onion in half lengthwise (through the root), then cut each half into fourths or sixths. Halve a head of garlic; cut off the very top of it to expose each clove; drizzle about a teaspoon of olive oil over the exposed cloves; and wrap the whole in aluminum foil. This will allow the garlic to slowly roast without drying out.

4. Coat celery and onions with a few tablespoons olive oil and about half of the spice mixture. Roast celery, onions, and garlic at 385 °F (196 °C) for 20-30 minutes, until onions are deeply golden. Stir and flip over every 10 minutes or so during roasting to ensure even cooking.

5. Peel and cube potatoes and coat with a couple tablespoons of olive oil and most of the remaining spice mixture. Bake in a shallow roasting pan at 425 °F (218 °C) for about 25 minutes, until browned.

If you don't have a second oven, or don't have time to wait until the celery and onions are finished roasting: dice your potatoes, heat olive oil on medium in a large pot, and add potatoes and spices. Fry, stirring every five minutes or so, until potatoes are golden brown on the surface, then continue with the steps below.

6. In a large pot, combine roasted celery, onions, and potatoes with salt to taste and enough stock to cover. Squeeze the roasted head of garlic to remove the garlic from the peels, and add the garlic to the pot. Add remaining spice mixture.

7. Raise heat to high to bring to a boil, then lower heat to simmer, uncovered, for about 20 minutes. Blend using an immersion blender, or in sections in a conventional blender. Taste and adjust spices and salt. Cover to keep warm.

For the tempering:

1. Heat margarine in a small skillet on medium until sizzling. Add chili and fry for a couple minutes, flipping occasionally, until fragrant. Add mustard seeds and fry for another minute or so, until popping.

2. Add jaggery or brown sugar and allow it to melt. Add tamarind, soy sauce, and pepper flakes or chili oil, and continue to heat until mixture returns to a slow boil. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice.

3. Divide soup into bowls and garnish with a spoonful of tempering sauce, celery leaves, sliced roasted celery, additional spice mixture or pepper flakes, etc.

#amongst all the research I do to recreate dishes it was fun to simply make something up!#though of course 're-creation' is never just re-creation and does always involve curation and decision-making #soup #cooking #US American #I guess?

You know, I just went on kickstarter to browse the tarot decks currently fundraising. This is one of my favorite ways to get decks, and a fun way to get ones that won't get a wide release later on -- or even a way to help ensure the creator can do a wider release later. I like supporting the creators directly!

But goddamn, I'm so bummed. So many of the current projects on there are just AI bullshit, and the descriptions are word salad written by poor writers who think they know way more about tarot and the occult than they actually do.

Feels like they took all the soul out of creating a tarot deck. : /

Plus, someone who really knows the history of tarot would know how Pamela Colman Smith's artwork for the original Rider-Waite(-SMITH) tarot deck has been devalued, at least as far as recognition goes. Waite's ideas are important and all, but it's her artwork that became iconic. So this just feels like a continuing tradition of stealing from artists and devaluing their contributions to the creation of these decks. And that's a tradition that I think we have the responsibility to dismantle.

I have no interest in a deck that's pretty but has no thought behind it, and I have no interest in a deck that has ideas but no creative implementation. You need both for an effective deck, okay?

And boy, I really have no interest in a deck that's built on the back of theft!

#like obviously as a scholar I'm going to be psyched at historical research #and as a writer I'm excited to see the idea work and how they adapt each card to the deck they have in mind #but it takes more than just that to create a deck #there are many ways to create art for a deck like this but the act of CREATION is the important part #tarot shenanigans

I think people writing self-inserts and self-indulgent pieces is awesome and a great way to create a story and explore writing. I don't think there's anything wrong with it whatsoever and I think people (especially young women) get way too much unwarranted shit for it. But discussions around so many posts about this topic so quickly turn into "when you really think about it every character is a self-insert" and/or "all writing is self-indulgent" and I'm just like... no... you had me, and now you've lost me.

#writing #ofc every creation reflects its creator in some way #but it's not always *direct* if that makes sense #i always give my characters specific (usually minor) traits that I share with them but none of them are self-inserts #i usually create or develop characters based on specific roles i want them to play #a lot of research goes into it #also my work is almost never self-indulgent (other than my poetry) it's usually about situations or questions or themes i want to explore #i just think it's useful to keep in mind that almost everything involved in writing is an individual process to an extent #like there are no universal truths in creation #different people do things differently like anything else

i can't really see any possibility for sandrone other than her being a recreation of mary-ann. she's active in fontaine, has an interest in mechanics and machine development, and experimented on ruin machines from khaenri'ah--just as we know alain did. she has a vested interested in preserving meka that express sentient thought, or something close enough to it. her appearance matches young mary-ann's incredibly closely, from the shade of her hair and eyes and dress to even the way her hair is styled.

if we take each different version of mary-ann to represent a single part of a greater whole, she fits in perfectly. ann is the preserved form of their childhood, young and still learning, at the heart of her own story. 'mary-ann' is the part of herself that agreed with jakob and rene and lyris, that feared the future and dying and longed to hold onto her childhood home and her childhood friends. so sandrone could be the part of mary-ann that was active in the institute and that joined the marechaussee hunters, that researched mechanics alongside her brother, who tried, in her own way, to safeguard the future.

#genshin impact #tower of daffodils #this in turn leads onto a larger commentary #about how everyone in the institute turned their back on their own morals #how they all gave up the things which made them themselves in order to help everyone else #bc the narzissenkreuz story is fundamentally one of sacrifice. of giving yourself up for the world #and in that context--well. sandrone is a mary-ann who gives up her heart for her research #i wonder if each of the new mary-anns is meant to represent another person from the institute?#ann is jakob (testing the bounds of the story; going against your role in order to fulfil it)#'mary-ann' is rene (forever within the story and forever on the same path)#and sandrone is alain...? absorbed by research and dedicated to mechanics and the creation of mechanical life #...her apology over jenck's actions and curve does feel similar to alain's “it's a great shame” when he was asked about seymour

Hey. Hope you're having a wonderful day

Just wanna say that your characters are amazing. Exactly what got you into creating them ? Any sort of inspiration ?

Hey, I'm having a good night and hope you too !

Thank you so much, I'm happy you appreciate them :) I'm happy to tell the tiny story behind their creation-

So, back in march/april 2021 I was in my last year of my bachelor's degree studying animation, and I still wasn't sure about going in the master's degree in animation as well after that. There were a lot of struggles at this moment but anyway

The thing is that for the master we had to create a short film, alone and (almost) fully done by ourselves, so our teachers asked us to start a sort of book or sketchbook to do researches and brainstorming about the film during summer. Even if I wasn't sure to continue I started it, and sketched a lot of stuff and various ideas I had at this moment

Then I ended up not going in the master's degree and taking a gap year instead, but I still continued to sketch stuff in that sketchbook because I still wanted to do my own film at some point. Uni or not the diploma was mostly a reason to make a film, but I in any case I wouldn't be free to do like I want because of teachers' reviews etc. I wanted to make it truly my own, maybe not perfect but just give it a try and be free to tell the story I want.

But I was frustrated because I wasn't finding something that would make me feel like it's my own stuff, it was too similar to RWBY for a lot of things (already a big inspiration at this moment, I was in the V8 brainrot for the first half of 2021 lmao). So I wasn't really going anywhere

BUT, randomly in december 2021 I had a pretty wild and pretty dream, I decided to paint digitally the main scene of it and doodle some concepts I had from it in my sketchbook :

I also ended up writing and composing a tiny song based on it (in french sorry-). It's not perfect at all or anything because I'm not a pro or super good, but creating a link between visual art & music helps me a lot most of the time so I do it (also for fun 'cause I love it) :

youtube

After that it didn't evolved much outside of the fact that I already had some sort of script for a "short film" or a teaser idk, I wrote that when I was in uni last winter. But I still wasn't really sure about the main characters or even their designs, even if Gris was the one I thought the most about and changed a lot of stuff

So last january/february I started to work on a first design and turn around for Gris :] (she didn't even have a name yet at this moment)

I continued to think of it until recently at the end of this summer where I sketched another design for her. As for Fauve, I knew for a long time I wanted Gris to have a strong bond with someone to help her go through stuff (and also a gf lol). I never really worked a lot on Fauve, I only knew she was going to have red or brown hair. x)

And I just sketched a first rough thing after Gris and liked it, so I kept it, it was really simple and easier than Gris' researches aha, idk Fauve's vibes felt pretty natural and logical after Gris was done.

Also if you're curious here are some of the first design ideas for them I had back in 2021/2022 :]

It changed a lot--

Anyway, now I'd love to develop more stuff and make a short film :]
