their ordinary life. 🏠

i am referencing this post which was allegedly shared in 2021. i like how it’s written and the cpn clues inserted, then making a whole story out of it. a reason why most of us love lrg and other rumor anecdotes is because it’s simple and shows what their day to day life is like. tho they are celebrities with extraordinarily busy lives, the thought of them just being zz and bobo is comforting and sweet. it may be confusing cause there are parts where they are both referenced as they. and then it will switch to “i” as if in the person’s first person pov.

all of this is fake & fanfiction…

they should have a cat and a dog. everyone knows the cat's name is Tao, the dog’s name also matches the cat very well, it’s called Lizi. it’s a puppy ZZ bought it on impulse, but in the end I had to give it to my mother in Chongqing to deal with the aftermath. they have a home in Beijing, with a room full of helmets and musical instruments. there is also a room equipped with a projector, with warm and artistic decoration. when the two people are tired, they can lie here and watch movies together. there is also a big LCD TV, two people playing games to decide the outcome and doing housework.

the kitchen should be well-equipped, but the storage of materials is not alot, both of them are busy and have little time to cook, but there should be someone that makes trouble while the other person is cooking, and the other person will teach. when that person was making hand cakes, he had a headache several times and wanted to curse.

the room they sleep in, well, the bedding must be of high quality, it must be very comfortable and considerate for two people who both have the habit of sleeping naked. someone should install a night light in the toilet so that people who are afraid of the dark can get up in the middle of the night. there will be lights as soon as the toilet is near. there should be a lot of things on the bedside, eye drops, stomach-protecting tablets, Ryukakusan, cough cough... In short, both of them takes good care of your body! there will be a light fragrance in the room. they are all people who love cleanliness, maybe it’s also due to the scented candles.

there is a huge closet, which could have been used as a styling area in the beginning. one will often buy several pieces at a time and wrap them up. the other will also complain that one person loves shopping so much that he is not frugal and knows how to organize his clothes regularly. it was painful to pick out an old model to wear, and taught another person: "See, this is okay. As for clothes, save money and don’t buy so much. You still have a mortgage. ” another smiled and didn’t say anything. clothes that smell like them over time are familiar and reassuring, as if they are by each other’s side. In this way, they give each other company. Sometimes the trip is too urgent and I don’t pay much attention. both people will pack the wrong clothes into their suitcases. there should also be a small gym, where two actors and teachers can work hard. One person is envious of another's eight-pack abs, and the other possesses someone's waist (don't ask me why I know it's possible because I am a barbell. )

both of them have been doing more and more endorsements, and they have a lot of products at home. when the two brothers are in a good mood, they take one out and play with it, jokingly calling it "opening a blind box." most of the time, they kept sending them to my family, and the family group was noisy.

the two of them still can't stay at home most of the time and are always on the road. yes, headphones are a common item. why? because they are used for making phone calls and watching videos and to chat online. I took out my mobile phone to complain after getting off work. i quickly called to tell him that I miss you. people’s true emotions finally have a safe and secure place. how good is this, just wanting someone who can always listen to me in my life. you act coquettishly. you can complain and cry.

i also surfed the Internet, but I just browsed casually, after all, it was all the same rainbow fart, I want to take some time to listen to that person blowing it to me. sometimes it’s annoying to see fans quarreling. i used my account number to tell them to stop arguing, but it didn’t work. just switch to my other account and fight bravely with heizi ( antis ) and lose. until the account was suspended and blocked, then I took screenshots and felt aggrieved. he said, "Baby, look at me, I've lost another number by helping you.". The other person was amused, and he was no longer troubled by the remarks.

the other side is also keen on surfing and secretly saves a lot of emoticons, all of which are like pigs. regarding this, after I sent it, I laughed so hard that I hit the table and couldn’t stop having fun. hey, of course you can hear the voice of someone screaming on the phone: "Why does it have to be a pig?" "I'm a leopard! Not a pig! You What a stinky rabbit!”

they will take care of eating, taking medicine, drinking water, and taking care of each other when they are sick. they will take good care of each other and care for each other. if you are disobedient, it will be known immediately, and you will be punished, and then you will obey because I want to live a long with the other person. if possible, I hope it will be the same in my next life.

he will also get jealous, lose his temper and act awkward. Alas, as an actor, he is still in the entertainment industry. what can I do? Buy gifts, buy food, make phone calls. if you want to talk, send WeChat, and send some updates and stuck points that fans can’t understand.

In the end, I still couldn't coax him, so I could only study how to fight authentically and run to see the other party. the time is very short, and you may only be able to stay in the car, room, or corner. i left after an hour or two, my temper was gone, and I kept looking at the other person. laugh, give a hug, hold hands for a walk, kiss, and talk for a long time. if it's been a long time, your eyes will inevitably turn red when you separate.

“Every time it’s so short, it’s hard to be separated, and I won’t be able to come next time.

“But I miss you.

"...I know, I'll come see you next time."

knowing that there will be an event for two people on the same stage will make them excited for a long time, and they will fall in love at public expense. love, doesn’t it feel good?

no matter what, they won’t understand the meaning of it anyway. meet backstage, eat a meal together, take ugly photos of each other while doing makeup, and fight. let’s sit together and look at our phones and chat about the current situation. the two people at the back looked right at each other when Fang doesn't speak, the staff will consciously go out and leave them alone.

think hard. I miss you even when I walk. I miss you when I sit. kiss the necklace that you bought for me, look at the blue sky and white clouds, draw a picture, then take the archeology test, and look at the other party’s dark history, snap screenshots and make emoticons and throw them over. it’s the happiness that only artists can have when they fall in love, don’t you understand~

regarding the public, the feeling of being watched by millions of people cheering and blessing that summer it’s really good. surrounded by love from all over the world, you will feel that there is nothing better than our happy couple. maybe, one day, wait for the rainbow to come. On that day, I am Lao Wang and he was Lao Xiao. We walked in front of everyone. before, he drew a story about us, told by me since I was 21 years old.

Inside the Mystery Machine

I was inspired by @emmakubert 's art on the gang on the way to another mystery. I particularly liked the conspiracy board on the wall. I hope you enjoy this!

Interviewer: Max Stevenson: I’m here interviewing Mystery Inc, the group of young adults who managed to solve the Mystery of the Blair’s Haunted Mansion. So tell me, what inspires a group such as yourselves to solve crimes like this? 

The group is gathered around the open back doors of their vehicle, dubbed the Mystery Machine. 

Fred Jones: Well we don’t usually go out of our way to solve crimes, we want to solve mysteries. 

Daphne Blake: Yeah, it just turns out, a lot of the ghosts and creepy things are just creepy guys in masks. 

Velma Dinkley: Through the use of complex technologies, smoke and mirrors, and more than a little gullibility from the locals, they can pass themselves off as something truly haunted. 

Shaggy Rogers: Like, I’d prefer we not solve crimes or mysteries at all, but these things just happen to us.

Scooby-doo: Ruh-huh. Real rary ruff. [Uh-huh. Real scary stuff.]

I am momentarily blown away by their dog, Scooby-doo responding to my question. 

Me: You have a talking dog?!?

The group seem immediately dismissive, even the dog rolls his eyes.

FJ: Oh we’ve done a dozen interviews about Scooby already. Yeah, he can talk. Some things are just like that.

The group seems ready to leave, Blake and Dinkley already beginning to pack their belongings into the van while Rogers has gathered what looks like the entire pantry from the Blair Manor. Jones keeps his attention on me, but clearly looks like he is finished speaking on the matter. However, I am still interested in speaking with them. Looking around quickly I settle on the van they are packing. 

Me: Before you leave, I’m curious about your van, you travel around in it, correct? 

FJ: Oh yeah! She’s my baby! We’ve all worked together to fix her up, and keep her functioning. 

I can practically see the excitement from Jones to discuss the van in depth. The others are also more interested. 

Me: Why don’t you tell me all about her? With the four of you living in the van, do things ever get crowded?

Blake and Dinkley open the back doors wider, while Rogers continues packing away the food into a cabinet built into the side of the van’s wall. 

DB: Not really, we keep the back pretty open so when we stop for the night we have plenty of space for an inflatable mattress. 

FJ: And if we need a little more space we have the front two seats as well. 

Blake laughs and Dinkley giggles. 

VD: Freddy usually sleeps up there, he likes to keep watch to make sure nothing sneaks up on us. 

FJ: It’s come in handy a few times!

SR: It sure has Freddy, though Scoob here will wake us if anything bad happens. 

Me: It looks like the interior is pretty heavily modified, you even have a kitchen back here?

They do indeed have what appears to be a mini kitchen built into the wall. There is a single burner stove top, a mini fridge, and several cabinets. 

DB: Well Shaggy, this is your area, why don’t you explain?

SR: You know man, eating properly on the road is hard, so we gotta do what we can. The fridge and the rest of the lights inside run off solar panels that Velma installed. I usually try to prep a couple of meals whenever we stop in a new area so we have stuff as we travel. 

VD: The biggest problem is keeping this glutton and Scooby from eating it all!

The others laugh and Rogers smiles. Doo laughs and has a quite tall sandwich in his paws which he then eats in one gulp. The rest laugh like this is expected. 

FJ: Next up we have the armory! Daphne and I put this together so we would have all the trap things we could need to catch a crook or a spook. We’ve got ropes, nets, some projectors of our own, a jar of soap to make things slippery. 

Me: Freddy, you don’t actually have any weapons in your armory?

FJ: Please call me Fred. Freddy is for if we’re dating. 

Me: O…k…? 

DB: We have one weapon! I have a bat I keep in the front just in case someone tries to mess with us.

FJ: The thing is, we’re not monster hunters, or even like crime fighters or anything like that. We’re mystery solvers. 

VD: We could carry silver weapons, or salt, or holy water, or whatever the local rumors might say will banish or harm the ghoul of the hour. But again, most of what we face are rich weirdos in masks. All of that would be a waste, and we would already have to replace the holy water whenever it expires. 

SR: Holy water expires? Does it lose its holiness or does it like go stale? 

VD: Uh, it stays as holy as it was before, but it loses potency. But again, would be useless against like 67.3% of those we face. 

Me: Wow you sure know a lot about holy water.

DB: That brings us neatly to the next section of the van! 

FJ: Yeah Velms! Show em the library. 

Jones has come to lean on Blake’s shoulders while Dinkely blushes. 

VD: Yes I suppose our library is my brain child. 

She climbs into the back of the van to show a modest library opposite the rack of ropes and trap equipment. Several of the books look to be older than all of us combined. 

VD: These are books that I have gathered during our adventures. 

FJ: snickers You mean stolen! 

VD: Borrowed! I borrowed them! 

DB: Babe, i think borrowed means you plan on returning them at some point. 

VD: Anyways! While most of the mysteries we solve end up being caused by some land owner annoyed that he has to pay property taxes, or that he can’t legally exhort even more money from the local underprivileged persons-

DB: Your inner Marxist is showing again.

SR: I’m mean, she is right.

VD: As I was saying before these hooligans interrupted me, there is a small portion of the mysteries we encounter that are truly paranormal in nature, and having literature on their nature is invaluable, hence our collection of supernatural tomes. Of course, my actual library is here on my tablet in e-reader format. 

DB: And if you had a choice the whole van would be filled with books and we would have to sleep on the roof. 

SD: Rit’s not so rad. [It's not so bad.]

VD: And if you had your way, we would all sleep in one big bed at the Ritz!

FJ: Last up for the van tour is our map! 

Jones points to what can only be described as a combination conspiracy board and map of the country. There are red strings going every which way, newspaper clippings, and thumb tacks all over the place. 

DB: All of us work on this together. We don’t want to drive from one end of the country to the other chasing mysteries without a plan. 

VD: Daphne and I work together to track and verify rumors and stories that might be related to mysteries that might need our investigations. 

DB: Freddy then adds in the places we need to go to maintain the van, gas stations, pit stops, shops and stuff. 

FJ: My dad gave me a big atlas in case I ever ran into car trouble. 

VD: Then Shaggy adds the spots to maintain us, like food stops.

SR: And like, not haunted spots. We gotta relax sometimes, man.

SD: Rot that rit ralways rorks. [Not that it always works.]

SR: That’s true, sometimes mysteries just happen around us even when we aren’t searching for them. 

VD: Then I put it all into an algorithm to chart the most efficient path. This way we can get to as many mysteries as possible without having to put unnecessary miles on the van or stress on us. 

Me: Wow you really are a news worth bunch. So, Daphne, Velma, do you ever feel like you don’t have any privacy while traveling with the boys? 

The two women look at each other, confused. 

DB: Why would we need privacy? 

FJ: Hey gang, if we want to make our next stop by sundown, we should head out soon. 

Rogers finishes settling the food in the kitchenette and Blake and Dinkley clamber into the back. Doo runs around to the front of the van to sit in the passenger seat while Jones takes the drivers. 

SR: Like, thanks for the questions, man. See ya! 

Truly the members of Mystery Inc are an intrepid lot, and there are a few mysteries about the members themselves that still remain to be solved. Max Stevenson, signing off.

Okay, okay, I steal ideas, I quickly fall in love with fanfics... Please please take this for what it's worth, because I love what pops into my head and I can't not share it!

So, this time to suffer fic by @weirdozjunkary (MVA), and I'll write nonsense because I haven't watched Monsters vs Aliens from the word at all, and am following a completely my own plot that will unfold after the second part of the fanfic.

(Part two!)

(NOTE: I WROTE THIS IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE, AND DECIDED TO REQUEST IT IN A TRANSLATOR TO AVOID REWRITING IT ALL OVER AGAIN, SO THERE MAY BE MISTAKES!(THOUGH WITH MY LEVEL OF ENGLISH YOU'RE UNLIKELY TO FEEL THE DIFFERENCE LMAO))

ENJOY THE SHOW!

It was a cloudy day in May. It was dank and damp outside, and anyone who needed to go out for business in such weather was sure to wrap themselves in a raincoat or scarf, snorted now and then at the dampness and unpleasant wind.

Sonic, Tails and Shadow were not happy about the weather, so they sat in the GUN base and settled down on Sonic's bed and watched comedies on a homemade movie projector that the fox had made from a ruined microwave (Barry had given it to them). What better way to brighten up a dull, rainy day than with a funny movie and a bag of chips?

Knuckles refused to be entertained, disappearing into a roadside café, eating mugs of delicious hot cocoa and cakes prepared by the owner of the place. Guys did not insist on his choice, and decided to have fun in their own way. And now they watched movies with laughter, exchanging ideas or news every now and then.

But the cozy revelry was suddenly interrupted by General Acorn entering the room.

"–Enough of this nonsense, boys!" she exclaimed nervously, "I have something interesting to show you."

"–Uuuh, we've stopped at the most interesting scene..." Sonic grumbled unhappily, taking his equally frowning friends in his arms and following the chipmunk on his heels. He didn't want to go out his room at all, as the very realization that it was raining outside made him drowsy and drowsy. But he didn't want to disobey orders, and with the thought that GUN it would be worth it to hold off on all sorts of things, Sonic and company entered the observation room.

The General hurried to one of the monitors, giving an order to one of her subordinates.

Plumping herself into a chair, she began clicking hastily on the keyboard.

Finally finding what she needed, she brought up the image on the main screen hanging from the ceiling, large enough for Sonic to look at.

At first, nothing could be seen there but a desolate area: a small lake surrounded by sparse undergrowth. It was taken from a distance, but Sonic recognized the place - it was not far (though one has to figure out what "not far" means to a giant hedgehog...) from one of the small towns west of the GUN base. When he wanted to bask in the sun, Sonic would go there and bask on the soft grass that grew near the pond.

Now the place looked rather bleak, and judging by the swaying trees, it was also windy. Sonic shuddered at the dank sight. The last thing he wanted to do right now was to be there. Shadow and Tails seemed to share his feeling, shiver at little times.

But suddenly guys noticed a strange beam of light coming toward the clearing. It seemed to be some kind of meteorite or comet, but the light grew brighter and brighter, and it was already apparent that some object was flying from the sky at an oblique angle straight toward the waters of the lake. Finally, it crashed into the sand right next to the water, raising a huge column of mud and causing the lake to become very agitated and overflow its banks. At the same moment, the image began to glitch and shake, and finally went out.

"–We installed this camera a week ago so that Ollie" - Sally waved her hand toward one of the employees nervously monitoring some sort of signature on small work computers - "–could monitor the soil conditions in this county, since there have been repeated sightings of sudden flooding or ground instability. But ten minutes ago, we received this video from him."

"–I beg your pardon, ma'am!" shouted one of the soldiers running by "we've just been notified that the object MIGHT be emitting Chaos energy, causing interference throughout the area, but that energy is highly variable, and NOTHING like the signatures of the Chaos Emeralds."

The General looked worriedly at Sonic.

"–Okay Ron, I'll take that under advisement, you may go."

"-Yes, ma'am!"

She turned back to guys again.

"-The object in question may not be an emerald, but we have an obligation to find out its origin."

"- Is there any chance that it was an ordinary meteorite?" Shadow asked.

"Absolutely not. Meteorites have completely different radiation levels, and even if it was one of them, there would be no trace of the lake. Besides, the meteor shower hasn't been predicted for the next four months. I want to send the three of you away to inspect this scene in detail."

Hearing this message, Sonic groaned unhappily. The last thing he wanted to do was go outside in this weather, much less look for anything.

"- Ma'am, why don't you ask someone else to do it, say, send out a search party?"

The General looked at him sternly.

"- No one knows what we'll be facing. Besides, if it's not even an emerald, no one knows how to deal with Chaos energy better than you."-Sonic opened his mouth to speak-"... AND I WON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER! NO ONE CAN HANDLE IT BETTER THAN YOU BOYS, SO LET'S GET TO WORK!"

All three of them left the room and headed down the corridor towards the exit.

They were followed by "...- And please don't forget to take a couple good pictures!!!"

"And why does it have to be us, in this weather?" Sonic said indignantly.

Tails and Shadow silently shared his opinion. They both knew how much the hedgehog hated the cold. Truth be told, they didn't want to run out in the rain to some mysterious meteorite, shivering in the cold and pissing their feet in puddles.

"- Well, at any rate, the sooner we get out, the sooner we get in! We should try and just have a quick look around the place, and we'll be back home.... Unless, of course, something happens..."-Tails broke the silence.

Shadow nodded in agreement.

Ahead of his friends, fox cub went into his workshop. Sonic and Shadow stomped curiously at the entrance, watching him rummage through boxes of junk, sneezing from the dust.

Finally, his face brightened.

"-Hooray, I found it!"-Tails raised the device, which looked like a game joystick with a screen, high above his head.

"-Very good, buddy, but what is it?" inquired Sonic.

"- It's a handheld device for tracking more or less powerful energy sources. It can be used to search for the energy signal of the Chaos Emeralds! I built it for just that purpose, but I haven't had to use it yet. Now I'll tweak it a bit, and we can easily find what we need."

On the occasion of the bad weather, Shadow and Tails had donned raincoats with warm linings. Looking at them, Sonic was quietly envious since GUN hadn't taken care of his warm clothes for such occasions. Seeing his dejected face, the fox cub comfortingly patted the big guy's boot.

"-Let's make this quick and get back home."

Sonic nodded his head.

"-Okay, you're right! There's nothing faster than me anyway."-he hummed.

Stepping outside, hedgehog whinnying as a hail of cold drops rained down on him. Gritting his teeth, Sonic put his friends on his shoulders and sped off.

After only a few minutes, he stopped next to a large crater of sand and mud.

Lowering his buddies to the ground, Sonic began to shake off the moisture fiercely of himself. While he dealt with this procedure, Tales was thoughtfully twiddling one of the buttons on his miracle device.

"These are settings for the beeping sound for better search efficiency," he explained to Shadow, who was looking over his shoulder.

Before they could say anything, Sonic's sneeze rang out across the neighborhood.

"Sorry, guys, I couldn't help it," the hedgehog muttered in confusion. Tails chuckled "–Hey, at least you're wearing a jacket after all!"

The little fox, without answering anything, went back to his search device.

Finally finished, he solemnly moved the gray slider and smiled proudly.

              "BEEP--BEEP--BEEP--BEEP."

"- Wow, not bad for a meteorite!"- Tails even jumped up in surprise. "- I didn't expect the energy to be THIS strong..."

The fox slowly began to slide into the center of the crater.

"- According to my calculations, this energy could very well equate to the power of several emeralds!"

Finally finding himself in the middle of the crater he scratched the back of his head thoughtfully-"- Hmmmm.... Strange... It feels like the source of the signal is elsewhere.... And it's... Moving?!"-Shadow immediately landed next to Tails-"And what does that mean, fox?"

Foxy shook his head thoughtfully-"-I can say with certainty that there's nothing in that funnel."

"So you're saying that the meteorite grew legs and got out of here and went about its business?" Sonic laughed.

Both buddies frowned at him.

Sonic, realizing that his joke was not appreciated, pouted resentfully and walked away.

But suddenly he noticed that the sand around him was cut by a string of strange footprints. They were clearly Mobian, but they were extremely erratic, as if the person getting out of the funnel had been spinning or drunk. The footprints were already half-drenched in rain, but they were still visible. And they led toward the woods.

"- GUYS, I FOUND SOMETHING INTERESTING!"- Sonic took turns picking up his friends in a pinch and placing them near his find.

Immediately a dead silence hung around.

"-Hey guys, don't you think...?" whispered Tails.

Shadow slapped his forehead-"-WHY DIDN'T WE THINK OF THIS SOONER?! WHILE WE WERE GONE, ANYONE COULD HAVE GOTTEN IN HERE AND STOLEN THE EMERALD-"

"-No, wait!" Tails interrupted him excitedly, "This energy is nothing like Chaos! Maybe..."

All three of them looked at each other.

"Does Neo have any relatives?" whispered Sonic.

"LET'S GO FIND HIM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!" Shadow was the first to rush out of his seat. The others, after a moment's hesitation, rushed after him.

Were the aliens going to take over the world again? We'll find out next time!

The Missing Piece

Ficlet Mysterio x OC for @hollowsart

sfw!

Damn that Spider-Man!! Beck had barely escaped from their encounter on the streets of Manhattan, his costume tattered from the broken glass when he was slammed into the side of a parked car.

But that wasn't the only thing, he was missing one of his gauntlets. Now, to other rogues, this wasn't such a big deal, buying equipment on the black market was a regular chore, but for Mysterio, all of his gear was handmade. He had spent painstaking hours crafting all of his gadgets and even placed small homing trackers in parts of them so he could always retrieve it later.

After nursing his new cuts and bruises, he was doing just that: tracking down his lost glove, but it was completely gone, and not just from the police grabbing evidence. The tracking app he had installed was not giving him any signal for the missing piece. Frustrated, he began to search the area for any clues. What he didn't know was that he had a secret admirer.

Up in one of the apartments a block away was a girl who had watched the whole battle. In fact, when she could, she loved to see Mysterio in action. He was a showman! His booming voice, his grandiose gestures and fantastical illusions, his physique in keeping up with a super human, and his meticulous fashion sense. He was the whole package. He was cunning and smart, he was brave when he needed to be and sly when he didn't. He was a professional and she was smitten with him. Was it weird? To see this otherworldly man and fall in love? He was a super villain, a member of the Sinister Six! A bank robber! It didn't matter much to her, he wasn't like the Red Skull or any other genocidal freaks. He was a man who lacked recognition and respect from the world, and if someone could give him even a little bit of it, she would. Even if it was in secret.

Her walls had a few sketches of him, some posters of their famous battles, and most recently, she managed to grab something a little more substantial to add to her gallery: his gauntlet. Now, she wasn't think of ever reselling it or using it on her own, oh no. She had a little stand for it and carefully cleaned the grime from every nook and cranny upon its surface. It sparkled and shimmered in the light with its golden hue, resting on its custom stand. Maybe next time she could snag one of his famous eye clasps or a hologram projector!

Ah, that was just wishful thinking. And if anything, if she could meet him.. oh, how her heart would flutter! Silly dreams of a silly girl, she snapped out of these fantasies as her doorbell rang.

Quentin had been walking the streets in irritation trying to pick up any signal, any clues to his missing gauntlet, but the tracker must have gotten busted in the fight. He was about to give up when something caught his eye; glancing up he saw a glimmer of gold through one of the windows and upon further inspection, it was unmistakably his missing armor!!

"So, someone /did/ steal it! Damned thieves, taking /my/ hard work! Bad enough dealing with the Spider, now this," he thought to himself, thoroughly ticked off at the situation he found himself in. With a sigh he left to change his attire into a different civilian role, a plan forming in his mind.

He had to get into that apartment, but busting in was not ideal, especially not in his currently injured state. Instead, he could pose as building maintenance and simply ring up and bullshit his way into the space, then when the owner was distracted he would just grab the armor and bolt. Simple enough, right? That particular place looked to be... the 5th floor? South side? Easy enough to track down.

When Acedia opened the door she was greeted with a man in his thirties, mole upon his face and dark hair in a bowl cut. Quentin was wearing dark blue coveralls and holding a tool box. One he was hoping to use to put his gauntlet in for his escape. He had used fake contacts to change his eyes and some prosthetics to alter his nose and chin. He was a wanted man and couldn't often be himself in public anymore, at least not when talking to someone one on one who might recognize him.

"Hello miss, forgive the sudden intrusion, but I received an alert. Your unit is in need of an emergency fix with the ventilation, mind if a take a look inside?

This was a bit strange, she never had an issue with her heating or cooling and certainly never asked for any help with her vents.

"U-uhm, are you sure you have the right unit? I haven't had any problems, maybe you want the neighbo--"

"N-no, miss! I am sure it is this unit that is in need of repair! It shouldn't take too much of your time, just a few minutes." Beck gestured towards her bedroom. "I believe perhaps in there could be a blockage, which is very dangerous. You don't want carbon monoxide poisoning, right? I have to do my job here." Now he was really bullshitting.

Carbon monoxide? On the 5th floor? Only her unit? She gave him a raised eyebrow at that. He was trying hard now to keep his cool, his fists clenched and his face forced into a serious frown when he wanted nothing more than to sneer and tell her off, tell her exactly what he thought of her stealing his hard work! Play it cool, Becky, play it cool.

Acedia relented and let him inside, but felt profoundly awkward about having someone else in her home. Especially her bedroom, oh lord, he was going to see her artwork! Her, uh, interest in Mysterio! Hopefully he wouldn't notice.

Quentin stiffly walked past her and opened the door to her room only to be smacked straight in the face with sensory overload. Dozens of photos, drawings, and posters of him lined her walls, meticulously curated with quite the artistic flair. He must admit... she did capture his better angles. Goodness, were his thighs really that thick? Is that how others saw him? He had to hide his shock and keep himself from blushing and instead spotted what he was looking for, his glove. But she was standing right behind him, he couldn't just snatch it and run with her in the way. Instead, he would force himself to walk over to the vent under her window and take out a screw driver to open it, pretending to inspect it.

Oh gosh, she noticed that. How he froze a bit at the sight of her room. She was glad he didn't remark on it and just got to work, but she was very flustered and turning bright red in the face and ears. "S-s-sorry about the, er, mess, haha, I just have been working on my art and Mysterio is very, um-- artistic! Yeah, he is very colorful and does a lot of battles around here so, he makes for good practice, yeah!"

Ouch, that was... not a smooth excuse.

"Y-yeah? Is that so? I heard he was an actor, or tried to be one. Didn't work out so good," Beck mused out loud. He wasn't sure what to make of this girl, she was a... a fan?? Clearly, look at the state he was in right now!

"T-they must have made a mistake!! He is a showman, I'm s-sure if they gave him more of a chance he would have made many movies! Er, probably!" She balled her hands around the bottom of her sweater, she couldn't help but defend him, but this was too much.

What Beck needed was for her to exit the room so he could snatch it and walk out, but hearing her defend him made his heart do a bit of a backflip. Someone... liked his work?

"He did do some films, have you seen them?"

"Y-yes, of course, I-I mean... I..." Acedia was getting too embarrassed and excused herself from the room. Perfect. All he needed to do was put it in the bag and... oh. She had cleaned it. Cleaned it very well, it was polished and oiled and everything! Quentin was bewildered at the sight, causing him to pause. He was about to put it in his bag when she walked back in, staring at him. Caught red handed. Ah hell.

"W-what are you doing??"

Quentin pulled the prosthetics off his face and took out the contacts. He tried to puff out his chest and give her a stern look.

"I am taking back what is mine. I am Mysterio!" He announced with a flourish, trying to intimidate his way out of this. It might have worked on any other would be thief, but his gamble didn't pay off as he thought. She stood there, shocked, in disbelief, and then recognition. He /was/ Mysterio! Right in front of him! Quentin held his pose but felt his face going bright red. Ah fuck.

"L-look this is mine and I need it back, alright? I am grateful to have such an.. adoring fan, but I need it."

"..You're.... you're really Mysterio!" She stammered. He felt himself getting warm from the embarrassment rising in his chest. She was gushing now, she loved his work! Loved his style, loved... him!

"Yes I am Mysterio, I just told you that!" He gazed back at the drawings. He really should just bolt now while he had the chance, but something held him back. He.. really had a fan. Someone who loved him, loved his work. Not just the idea of him, but actually him. She wasn't off put at all by his real face, if anything she seemed more excited than ever. No, he should leave. Now. But.... he didn't. He stayed.

"I'm sorry I couldn't fix it completely for you, I-I cleaned it up though! I didn't mean to steal it from you, I just... It's /so/ cool!"

Beck looked down at the gauntlet, appreciating the hard work she had done to clean it. "Yes, you did... a really good job actually. It's not your fault, it's Spider-Man's for busting it and throwing it across the street. I... it's all right," he reassured her.

Acedia breathed a sigh of relief, still nervous and excited that he was really here in front of him!

"I.. I do like your movies, b-by the way. I have them all." She pointed to the living room to her TV. She had a shelf of DVDs and when he peered at it, he could definitely see some of his titles in there.

"Those aren't easy to get. They only made so many," he observed. Making up his mind, he set the gauntlet down and went to inspect her collection instead. It was... remarkable! "You have good taste," he complimented. She blushed at that, but let him be. She was the weird one here having a collection, a shrine dedicated to him almost. Like some sort of stalker, but she wasn't she really wasn't! How was it any different from someone having their favorite movie posters on their walls? Or favorite action heroes? She never expected him to someday turn up at her door!

"Sorry, I never introduced myself, my name is Acedia. D-do you w-want something to drink? Water?"

Quentin glanced up at her and smiled. "Yes, actually, today has been a lot. It's... nice to finally meet a fan," he admitted. Beck could use a rest. He sat down on the sofa and felt his body ache. He unzipped his coveralls a bit to look at his bandaged shoulder, making sure it didn't get loose. He had been fighting then looking for his gauntlet all day, he hadn't had a moment to sit and rest. She came back with the water and noticed his cuts.

"He really roughed you up this time didn't he?" Becky nodded with a wince as he readjusted it. "Hold on, let me get my first aid kit, I can take a look at it for you."

"Oh, nono, I'm alright--"

"No, you aren't!" She insisted. He relented. He was a good actor but a bad liar. He was not feeling great and had only done a quick patch job before heading out again. She came back and took a better look at his wounds, disinfecting them and stitching him back together. "Better?" She asked.

"Better." He watched her work, her small hands quick but strong, precise and thorough. Her skin was... soft and hair hair and eyes were gentle. His one and only admirer. "Thank you," he said at last, as she cleaned up. She beamed a smile at him and he felt his heart melt.

"I uh.. umm..." The words died in his mouth, he didn't know what to say but he wanted to say something!

The feeling was mutual, words were hard to come by when your emotions ran so strongly. She chanced the opportunity to sit a little closer to him, which he accepted, blushing. Now or never, Acedia. Go for it! She gambled and gave him a peck on the cheek.

"T-there! Now we are even!"

Quentin sat there stunned and lovestruck. Her lips were so warm and nice. With his hand he tenderly moved a lock of hair from her face and leaned in for his own kiss. His lips met hers and she weaved her arms around his broad back, accepting him, loving him. They couldn't help themselves as they made out, his body leaning down on top of hers. Did... she just land her dream boyfriend? He could always stay the night if he wanted, her fated meeting.

She was glad she found that gauntlet earlier today. It brought her a much more precious treasure, and Quentin himself had found something irreplaceable.

(Fin for now, but implied intimacy is there. They def got together ya know.)

How do I choose the right LED lights for my car online?

Choosing the right LED headlights for your vehicle online requires careful consideration of compatibility, safety, and performance. Follow this step-by-step guide to avoid glare, error codes, or wasted money:

🔍 Step 1: Verify Compatibility Match Bulb Type

Check your owner's manual or current bulbs for exact bulb model size (e.g., H11 low beam, 9005 high beam).

Use vehicle-specific databases:

https://www.usa.philips.com/c-m-au/car-lights Confirm Headlight Housing

Projector Housing: Best for LEDs (sharper cutoff).

Reflector Housing: Risk of glare/violations - avoid unless LED bulb has adjustable light pattern.

💡 Step 2: Prioritize key features Function Importance Focus Power driver Intelligent IC led driver Intelligently regulates current to avoid overcurrent in electronic components and LED chips Beam pattern ⚠️ Prevents traffic dazzle “DOT/ECE certified” • TUV certified (e.g. Philips Ultinon, SNGL) Heat dissipation Prevents LED overheating → fast failure Copper tube copper base plate + aluminum heat sink + fan • Avoid cheap “fanless” brands EMC shielding Prevents radio/TPMS interference “CANbus ready” • Built-in decoder for error-free installation Color temperature 5000K–6000K = pure white • Greater than 7000K reduces visibility in rainy days Stick to 5500K (ideal for road lighting) Lumens and Lux ​​Higher ≠ better • Focus is critical ≥12000 lumens with beam certification

🛠️ Steps 3: Compare quality brands Brand Best for professionals Price range (pair) Philips Ultinon Reliability and compliance TUV certified • Excellent beam focus 90–220 SNGL dimmable LED bulbs Minimal glare and no dark areas CE and TUV certified • Plug and play 70–180 Diode Dynamics High output/off-road use Sturdy heat sink • 5-year warranty 100–300

🚫 Avoid: No-name brands lacking safety certifications (e.g. “Xenopro”, “HIKARI Ultra”).

⚠️ Step 4: Check reviews and verify Note:

Beam cutoff photos in reviews (clear lines = no glare).

“No flicker/CANbus errors” in specific vehicle reviews.

Professional testing (e.g. https://www.headlightrevolution.com/ beam comparison).

Red flags:

“Brightness is high, but beam is scattered everywhere.”

“Fan broke after 3 months of use.”

📜 Step 5: Understand the law and warranty Legality:

US: DOT compliant ≠ reflector housing legal. Check state laws.

EU/UK: Only LEDs with the E logo in original LED/HID projectors are legal.

Warranty: Minimum 2-year warranty for peace of mind.

🔧 Installation preparation Must-have accessories:

Anti-flicker decoder for modern cars with CANbus.

Rubber dust cover extender for lamp gap.

Tools needed: Trim removal tool • Torx screwdriver set.

Time: About 30-60 minutes per side for beginners.

💎 Final checklist before buying Does the bulb model size exactly match the original bulb model size?

Is it DOT/ECE certified with beam cutoff?

Is it using a combination of copper tubes + copper base plate + aluminum heat sink + fan?

Is there an intelligent IC led driver?

Is a CANbus decoding system included?

Warranty period ≥ 2 years?

📌 Pro Tip: For reflective housings, it is safer to replace with LED lamps with adjustable light patterns. The conversion cost is more than $130, but it can guarantee legal high-performance lighting.

Summary: Prioritize certified beam focusing effects rather than brightness claims. Invest in brands such as Philips/SNGL to avoid glare, errors and replacements. If in doubt, consult a professional installer - improper LED upgrades can endanger the safety of others and result in fines. 🚨

I think Sarandos is out of touch when he thinks that people simply don’t want to make the effort to see a movie, implying they’re lazy or that it’s solely because it’s the path of least resistance.

Here’s the heart of the issue for me: Today, the “theater experience” simply is not worth the effort OR money.

What is the actual experience of going to a theater? Being in a dark room with a large screen and surround sound? Unique theater specific snacks and popcorn?

I understand that decades ago, or even just ten years ago, that was a truly unique experience and some are nostalgic for looking forward to that experience. Televisions were small and surround sound was something only rich wall street dude bros had, along with a brick of a cell phone in their convertible car. Grocery stores probably had limited “theater” snacks.

Visual media was limited to theaters and tvs. Now, it’s on our phones and computers.

It’s my understanding there was a longer, tiered schedule for how movies came out.

Theater

Physical media such as tapes and DVDs

Cable Television

Syndicated Television/Public with commercials

Now, it’s theater then a month or so to streaming. They have cut out a lot of steps, and people can wait for streaming and it’s not that big of a difference.

Also, we can buy large tvs in HD and even projectors. We can install speakers in the ceiling, and it even adds to home value.

This may be changing due to tariffs and a bad economy, but generally a large part of the population is able to afford at least some level of home theater technology.

Even with the most basic smart phone, it’s better video quality than anything made in the early aughts and earlier.

“Theater snacks” or even “theater popcorn” can be ordered online or bought literally anywhere candy and snacks are sold.

Houses come with literal theaters with recliners, tiered seating, and projectors. This is now a popular option in the suburbs, every peer I know who has moved out to the burbs has one.

The theater experience itself is no longer unique, it’s very easily replicated.  Theaters aren’t just competing with convenience. WHAT do they offer that I can’t do myself?

Further, I would say the theater experience is not worth the money even if I couldn’t replicate it and do better at my own home.

I’d like to think I’m well off. I can easily afford to take a train or drive and park, get snacks, and the ticket price itself.

I DON’T WANT TO. I don’t think it’s worth it for what it is. What movie these days are worth putting in all that effort?

I agree that there seems to be a worse lack of decorum and social etiquette in theaters. People are rude, on their phone, or speaking. Then there have been people going completely feral, to the point the theater had to be shut down.

I’ll admit, perhaps I’m particularly not made for the social theater experience. I want everyone to shut the fuck up and listen to the movie. Laughter at funny moments or gasps at thrills is about all I can tolerate.

I especially hate people who talk during the movie, with questions or speculation, or SING as if they’re the stars.

One issue that no one has touched upon is that there is a genuine safety concern of going to public places. I think it’s dismissive to brush it off as “social awkwardness due to quarantine/everyone is living in their phones” or they’re taking the path of least resistance.

Shootings are happening in the States and Canada.

COVID is ongoing, governments are simply ignoring it. There is a current ongoing measles outbreak in the States and Canada.

What exactly is being criticized or vouched for? To go to a disease-ridden area where I genuinely may be a victim of gun violence, all to sit in a dark, extra loud room with douchbags who think they’re part of the show? All on top to PAY almost $100 when you calculate the cost of everything. Or to save money you have to go to less convenient times and omit food?

AND they charge a premium for “better seats?”

The movie theater experience can fuck all the way off.

activity log: monday 25th nov

day of exhibition

MJ informed me that the group would arrive at 2pm(ish)

I arrived at the NGS at 1:30pm and struggled to get access to the building for 30 minutes

I let the group know that I was having difficulties getting into the NGS but the message was read and ignored by all - I began to sense the tension mounting as the normally very supportive group became quite distant

After calling NGS gallery manager Simon Ainsley, I was able to get into the building and begin my install with the help of my partner

MJ, Maddie and Rachel arrived at around 2:30 and tensions were immediately high as none of the group acknowledged me when arriving - there were also two other people present who I had not met before and wasn't introduced to

I began to feel quite anxious at this point as there were clearly some unspoken grievances, but I was unable to work out why the exhibitors would act in this way, especially on opening night

After installing my work, at 4pm I checked in with the group and reiterated my plan that I would travel back home and get myself ready for the exhibition

at 5pm I received several panicked messages from all of the group stating that they needed a speaker and an aux cord, as well as my projector, extension cords and a HDMI cord at the NGS immediately

Although at home and halfway through doing my makeup, I asked the group to write a list of everything they needed me to bring

Because of the high level of panic that was clear within the group I abandoned getting ready and packed everything into bags and rushed back to the NGS

On arriving at the NGS at 6pm, Rachel and Mjs said their projectors weren't working and hadn't been test run before this point (just an hour before the scheduled opening time). I felt frustrated that the rest of the group had been so last-minute with their work and neglectful of testing the equipment, especially with the group now saying they wanted to postpone the opening so they could get their tech up and running

I had no option but to not panic, as I felt I was holding the whole exhibition together at this point. MJ and Rachel set up my projector and tech, meaning we were luckily able to open the show at the agreed time

During the show, the unexplained tensions continued - the exhibitors seemed to be avoiding me and any visitors that I had invited. My friends remarked that there felt like a divide between the two groups

At various intervals, MJ and Rachel turned off the lights and gathered everybody to watch their projected visuals - this meant that the majority of the visitors present at the exhibition had to watch the videos multiple times, and several people expressed their confusion at this, however with the tensions present the whole day I didn't feel courageous enough to talk about this with MJ or Rachel

the tensions came to head with a verbal altercation between MJ and Myself where it became evident that some of the tensions throughout the day had been caused by external factors relating o me and MJ's friendship. I was extremely disappointed in this from MJ as I felt this should've been addressed after or before the exhibition, not during it. I felt extremely uncomfortable at MJ's actions and confided in my friends who were present, who all offered to stay behind after closing time and help me deinstall and tidy the NGS

I approached Rachel, who I felt had the calmest demeanour and informed them that I would be deinstalling that night instead of the following morning and that as I was responsible for the key, the group could either deinstall after the show with me or get the key from me the next day and deinstall them. Rachel conferred with the group and the decision was made that we would all deinstall that night

I followed the NGS instructions and binned all rubbish and disposed of it in the appropriate bins outside the venue, returned all chairs to the storage area, switched off the heaters and returned them to their place

MJ, Maddie and Rachel all removed their work and left without informing me and I didn't hear from them again after this

I checked the NGS for any leftover rubbish and turned off all the lights. I locked the building as per the instructions given in the morning and left the key in the lock box.

Are Patio Enclosures Worth It? 

I’ll be honest—I used to think patio enclosures were just fancy add-ons for people with too much time (and money) on their hands. You know, the kind of thing you’d see in a glossy home magazine, right next to a picture of someone sipping iced tea while reading a novel they’ll never actually finish. But then I got older. And pickier. And more obsessed with making my home feel like a retreat instead of a place where I just sleep between work emails and grocery runs.

So, if you’ve ever wondered, “Are patio enclosures really worth it, or is this just another expensive home upgrade I’ll regret?”—let’s dive into it. I’ll share what I’ve learned, what’s trending in 2025, and why you might (or might not) want to jump on the patio enclosure bandwagon.

The Appeal of a Patio Enclosure 

Picture this: It’s a Saturday morning, and you’ve got your coffee in hand, ready to enjoy some peaceful fresh air. But instead of a relaxing vibe, you’re met with mosquitoes, noisy neighbors, and pollen attacking your sinuses like an invisible army.

Annoying, right?

That’s the whole point of a patio enclosure—it gives you the outdoor feel without the outdoor problems. You get to sip your coffee without swatting away bugs, and if it suddenly starts raining, you don’t have to panic and sprint inside like you’re running from an apocalypse.

Current Trends: What’s Hot in 2025

Patio enclosures aren’t just basic screened-in porches anymore. Nope. Homeowners are getting creative, and 2025 is seeing some big trends:

Retractable Glass Walls – Want the best of both worlds? Modern enclosures now have sliding or retractable glass walls that can completely open up when the weather’s nice and close when it’s not.

Smart Climate Control – With tech evolving, people are installing mini split HVAC systems in their enclosed patios, meaning you can enjoy your “outdoor” space even in peak summer or a surprise cold front.

Outdoor Living Rooms – It’s not just a table and a couple of chairs anymore. People are adding actual comfy furniture, fireplaces, and even projectors for outdoor movie nights.

Sustainable Materials – More homeowners are opting for energy-efficient glass and eco-friendly materials to keep things stylish and sustainable.

So yeah, patio enclosures are stepping up their game.

Are They Worth the Investment? 

Alright, let’s get real. Patio enclosures aren’t exactly cheap. Depending on the size, materials, and whether you go full DIY or hire professionals, you could be looking at anywhere from $5,000 to $30,000 (or more, if you get fancy). But before you let that price tag scare you off, consider this:

1. More Use = More Value

If your patio is just sitting there collecting leaves, you’re basically wasting valuable square footage. An enclosed patio gives you more functional living space—whether it’s for an extra lounge, a workout spot, a home office, or a dining area. And in a world where we’re all trying to maximize our homes, that’s a win.

2. Weather? What Weather?

I don’t know about you, but I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve tried to plan a nice outdoor dinner only for the weather to ruin everything. A patio enclosure makes your space usable year-round. Too hot? Add fans or an AC unit. Too cold? Get a heater. Problem solved.

3. Goodbye, Bugs and Pollen

Ever tried to enjoy a meal outside, only to have flies crash the party like they own the place? Or worse—mosquitoes? Yeah, no thanks. An enclosure keeps the pests out, meaning you actually get to enjoy your space instead of waving your arms like you’re conducting an invisible orchestra.

4. Home Value Boost

If you ever sell your home, a well-done patio enclosure can add to its resale value. Buyers love extra usable space, especially one that blends indoor and outdoor living. And with real estate trends shifting towards functional, hybrid spaces, this is the kind of upgrade that won’t feel outdated anytime soon.

5. Energy Savings 

Here’s something people don’t always think about: A well-insulated patio enclosure can actually help with your home’s energy efficiency. If it blocks harsh sun rays from heating up your home, you could see lower cooling costs in the summer. Some folks even use theirs as a greenhouse-like space to keep things cozy in the winter.

When a Patio Enclosure Might Not Be Worth It

Alright, I’m not here to sell you on a dream—there are times when a patio enclosure might not be the best move.

If You Love True Outdoor Living – Some people just love the open-air experience—breezes, stargazing, and all. If that’s you, an enclosure might feel more limiting than freeing.

If Your Budget’s Tight – Let’s be real: If you’re stretching your finances too thin, there are other home upgrades that might give you better bang for your buck (like a kitchen remodel or energy-efficient windows).

If You Move Often – If you’re in a short-term home, you may not see the full return on investment before you move.

Final Thoughts

For me? Absolutely. My enclosed patio has been a total game-changer—it's where I work, read, sip my morning coffee, and just unwind. It gives me that outdoor feel without the hassle of bugs, harsh weather, or constant maintenance.

But really, it all comes down to how much you'd use it. If you want a space you can enjoy year-round while staying comfortable and protected, a sunroom or screen enclosure is a smart investment.

Camera Tweaks (Aryan Raj Adhikari)

The camera projection will be done in a dome for visitors to view and the video will be displayed in a 360 degree format. This is my first time ever working on creation of an immersive 360 image or a video. Thus, before working on the jellyfish, I decided to finalize the camera settings beforehand so that it would not pose problems during the render phase of our animation export.

I researched on few blogs that detail about 360 domes and the principles they employ to project an immersive video. For instance, the camera should and always be a 360 capture and the quality of the render should at minimum be a 4K or an 8K resolution for crisp visual quality.

There are a couple of real life practical examples that demonstrate the visual prowess of a 360 dome projection with the most notable and perhaps the largest inflation dome projection in Miami. It was installed by Broadwell, a global leader in air domes and they hosted over 60,000 guests in a span of 3 days.

Figure 1 (Miami dome projection, (Anon., n.d.))

The fully-immersive video projection set-up was creating with a total of 24 18K Lumen HD Laser projectors from Lumen & Forge and covers an area of 40000 square feet.

Another impressive example of a beautiful projection system can be seen when the Planetarium 1 team opened the world's largest planetarium in 2017 in Western Russia with a dome diameter of 18 metres that utilized Benq LU950 projectors with a brightness of 5000 ANSI lumens. The laser light source of those projectors has an almost eternal source which doesn't require replacement and there is no need to worry about the decay of the image quality over time.

Figure 2 (Planetarium 1 projection, (BenQ, 2022))

Our director, Ian Willcock had iteratively emphasized on the proper export of the render in a 2:1 aspect ratio with either 4K resolution minimum or an 8K resolution if feasible in an equirectangular format. This aligns with one of the principles listed in Lumen & Forge's EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT 360 DOMES; "Advanced software renders the 360 content into ultra high-res equirectangular or cubic projections optimized for dome projection" (Lumen & Forge, 2023). This format can later be changed in Adobe After Effects by applying a VR Converter modifier which changes it into a full dome projection sequence.

Inside Blender, I started tinkering with the camera settings and found out that while panoramic 360 export is not supported in the 'Eevee' render engine, it is however supported in the 'Cycles' render engine. This pretty much dictated that we would be using the 'Cycles' render engine to render out our entire image sequence.

It is imperative to note that you can only render the image sequence in an equirectangular panoramic format if you render using the supported model of the 'Cycles' engine as opposed to its experimental variant.

Figure 3 (Camera settings in Blender 1)

While inside the camera settings inside Blender, you can also set the camera type to Panaromic and change the panorama type to Equirectangular format.

Priorities:

Get her checked out by a mechanic (repeat as necessary)

Add cup holders to the front seat area.

Figure out spare tire situation.

Add things like my sleeping bag, blankets, pillows, dog area, some tools, etc.

Get battery, heater, a/c, air filter, lighting, etc. all separate from the van's battery.

Get a projector and white sheet(?) to make a movie theatre.

Get and install solar panels. (This is a big one)

Get fridge and microwave. Possibly also internet for work, I need to investigate.

Aesthetic updates. Most of her is so gorgeous I don't want to make too many changes, so the changes are primarily maybe replacing some of the torn areas on the side fabric, adding a nice rug or too, add a desk area for my work, blackout curtains, other curtains, adding a bed and some storage, maybe removing one of the two back seats, etc.

I think these ideas were good to start with but too broadly chosen. There is no theme other than the fact I used them when I was a kid.

I need to identify a theme, a niche, an interest area that is specific and that allows me to investigate it thoroughly.

Week 3 Crit

I’m honestly kind of proud of the fact people thought that the lights I painted were glow-in-the-dark paint lit up by a black light, shows that I painted them really well because if I’d used the glow-in-the-dark paint, they would NOT have glowed like that. Definitely gonna use this ‘technique’ again.

fluorescent light buzz

thought i painted the dark room

teenager staying up late on the internet going for a walk down the dark hallway for a drink of water

they look like the lights glow, makes the lights actually look on

scary, sidewalk afterlife

sculptural, 3D, more than a painting, the lights bring it out

more like a hallway, an office, industrial and the windows adds to it

the angle implies peripheral vision

using an actual nightstand

scary but comforting

blackout, in the unknown, everything crashed

the crash, the windows and the blue screen

illegible writing 

Side note: This is my seventh acrylic painting EVER. I started painting properly for the first time this year, I've painted with watercolour before but that was faces and I used a lot of blank space to make shapes and values so I'm very lost on how to paint with acrylic right now. Considering my last paintings I would say this is my best yet.

cory arcangel super mario clouds

Above is the gif that was made when he first created the code in 2001/2002.

Hacked video game cartridge of Mario Brothers.

Tweaked the code to only have the iconic moving clouds, every other visual and sound was taken out.

Arcangel is a classically trained musician and considers video games and computers to be his instruments, he insists upon mastering the technology before beginning his creative explorations.

He sometimes learn an entire programming language just to complete one work.

This installation can iterated to include projectors and, depending on the size of the space, there can be multiple monitors and projections. Most use two to three projections and one monitor (all placed on the floor with visible cording between).

It was first released online and the code was accessible on the Internet.

The two versions are parallels but provide two different perceptions of the works.

Browser-based narrative video game, 2017 - ongoing.

Intended for the insomniac to be played late at night.

Only by changing the browser size can the game begin, doors and hidden secrets can also be revealed by making it smaller or an odd shape.

The URL is a string of 28+ random letters, this makes it unmemorizable and means that to be shared, someone must be directly given the link to the site.

This game is so vast it is virtually impossible to make it through all the levels and layers.

Feedback after Week 3 Crit (in Week 4)

Israel

Revisit the Matrix, Plato’s cave and the other stories behind it

Move away from ‘liminal spaces’ because the term is confining and is withholding the potential

Industrial spaces

I think I need to do a closer examination of ‘why’ I like liminal spaces and what the similarities and key things there are in my work. And maybe rethink IF there is a connection between liminal spaces and my work.

It’s becoming clear to me that there are two different ‘types’ of liminal spaces, the ones we see now which are digital images of spaces of familiar spaces that are abandoned and ‘off’ and the origin of these spaces which came from immigrants and migrants being made to move from their homes. I see a connection between these two as the images we see now are our own liminal homes/familiars and the images are our way of missing that space and time.

try painting on a full can or a filled can

empty can, empty space, operating system

look at the parallels and similarities

why the outdated technology

95 was one of those evergreen systems

probably computers in the world that still run it

what does that mean

try the video projected, on a monitor

why do I prefer to show it on a CRT tv

connect flavours to the things painted on them, blue screen could be blueberry or blue v

look at can designs and see how I could replicate them

the cans are matte and textured compared to normal cans

Ideas

Hand-painted glow-in-the-dark stars

I think the glowing concept of the stars and the paint that I used in the first semester should be brought into my next making. Maybe make glowing lights or something similar, and play around with glowing objects/lights/colours.

revisit past things

There were so many texts and artists and things I found last year that I researched but didn’t digest.

I don’t need to consume MORE and NEW media and texts, I just need to filter and focus on the things I already have and know and read.
