Massimo Scolari, Addio Melampo, project Oblique projection, 1975 Massimo Scolari used images to manipulate form without using Renaissance or neoclassical styles. His drawings are pure fantasy and often defy explanation. In Urban Passage, geometric forms resembling a house seem to be projected onto a mythical landscape by the sky. In Addio Melampo, these forms emanate from the earth itself. Its title refers both to the name of a dog in an Italian novel and to a mythical Greek man who can see the future and understand the voices of animals, although for Scolari there is not necessarily a connection between the title and the image of a drawing. Addio Melampo is clearly a drawing born from imagination." Bevin Cline and Tina di Carlo in "The Changing of the Avant-Garde: Visionary Architectural Drawings from the Howard Gilman Collection" (New York: The Museum of Modern Art, 2002). Color ink, watercolor, and graphite on board 11 7/8 x 10" (30.2 x 25.4 cm) Museum of Modern Art (New York, N.Y.)

burgers are awesome. so are pussies. so you'd think something called the "borgussy" is something very good, but according to my friend Karl Marx such is not the case.

i kind of hate Spoons <- imagine if that was my whole post and i was just whining about utensils. um but seriously i think we should probably use better and more intuitive terminology instead of a completely arbitrary metaphor chosen because some random person happened to be near some spoons while explaining her chronic illness to her friend

aria meets a fan....
Ali (as Aria)[extremely awkward]: So yeah! If you just follow me on, um... [pained laugh]
Austin (as a fan)[confused]: I can't-- We can't-- But once we go inside, we can't access the mesh. How am i gonna know... Also I follow you already, you haven't posted anything about a secret show! Unless, do you have like a secret account i can follow?
Ali (as Aria): Right! Yeah, it's no longer @AriaJoieOfficial [bursts into laughter]
Austin (as the fan) [intrigued]: Ooooooh?!
[Keith and Ali laughing in the background]
Art: This is like one of those Instagram scams, except that the actual person is telling you to your face!
Austin (as the fan): What? It's no--
Keith [interrupting]: You've actually gotta sign up to my Whatsapp.
Austin (as the fan): It's NOT @AriaJoieOfficial? But Aria Joie Official still posts?
Ali (as Aria): Well, yes! Right! Right! It's, like, um, exclusive!
Austin (as the fan) [intrigued again]: Ooh! What's the-- What's the account name?
[Ali takes a deep breath]
Ali (as Aria): Um. Um. It's Aria Joie, but the As are fours.
Austin (as the fan) [palpably disappointed]: Oh. [Forcing themself to sound excited] Okay! I'll look it up!
Keith: This has gotta be, at this point, this person's like, "Someone has gotten plastic surgery to look like Aria Joie.
Austin: This is exactly it.
[Ali laughs]
Keith: Yeah.
Austin: The camera looks down and sees how many-- So the camera looks at their phone, or their interface, right, 'cause they're not looking at their phone. They have, like, you know, digital eyes, or whatever. Robot eyes. And they're looking at the, uh, screen. And we saw the Aria Joie account that has, like, three trillion subscribers, or whatever. But then it shows the Fouria Four-Foie account.
[All laughing]
Austin: How many subscribers do you have? [long pause as Ali thinks] 'Cause it ain't trillions!
Keith: It's--
Ali: It's not a trillion! But it's-- Is it-- [starts to say a number but quickly changes her mind]
Keith: Can I tell you my first thought was 334.
[cross-talking]
Austin: Yeah! I think it's NOT many!
Ali: 334! Okay! I was-- I was like-- What's the--
Keith: I think it can be whatever you want it to be, but that was my what's the funniest low number of followers? 334.
Ali: I didn't know if, like, 26 or, like, 300 was it. Because it's like are there only-- Is this the only people she's spoken to, like, on COUNTER/Weight so far? Or is it, presumably, somebody who googled Aria and accidentally, like, pressed on her.
Austin: No, you did not. No. You did not get the SEO at all. There's no fucking way.
Ali: There's stans, there's a reddit, you know!
[crosstalk]
Keith: For Fouria Joie?
Austin: There are Aria Joie RP accounts that have more followers than you!
Ali: Right.
Keith: Right.
Ali: Well, yes. Yeah. Uh-huh.
[Austin laughs]
Austin: I think it's low. I think 300's probably right.
Ali: 300 is... yeah.
Austin: And I think that they just go--
Austin (as fan)[weirded out] : Very exclusive!
Ali (as Aria): Well, yeah! I--It's, um. I'm just reaching out to the people on COUNTER/Weight right now.
Austin (as fan)[dismissive]: Okay.
Ali (as Aria): Are you just visiting? Or are you from the...
Austin (as fan): Yeah? Im-- Y-yeah. Mhm. I'm visiting. Yeah.
Keith: Oh my god. Now it's this person that's trying to get away.
Austin: Yeah. Uh-huh! Exactly.
[All laughing]
Art: Let's see where this person goes to get away, we'll follow them in.
Keith: Oh my god.
Austin (as fan): I have some-- Oh, you know, it was so good to meet you. I'm gonna tell all my friends. But I'm--
Ali (as Aria) [interrupting]: Is this your first time to the Sill?
Austin (as fan): Yeah, I haven't been here-- In fact, I have to go take a call. For Work. Uh. If that's okay. Sorry.
Ali (as Aria): Oh, I understand! Yeah!
Austin (as fan): Big fan! I love... all the songs.
Ali (as Aria): Do you wanna take a picture?
Austin (as fan): No.
[Ali laughs]
Austin (as fan): I don't wanna, uh.
[Art and Ali laughing]
Austin (as fan): I couldn't post it anywhere. 'Cause I don't wanna give away the exclusive part!
Ali (as Aria): Oh, no, you could!
Art: You should fuckin' play a show when this is over just to mess with this person.
Ali (as Aria): It's like, submersive, you know?
Austin (as fan): It's submersive?
Ali (as Aria): It's like unscheduled.
Austin (as fan): Like it goes under water?
Keith: Underwater!
[All laugh]
Keith: Canonical.
Austin: Ca-nautical!
[beat of quiet and then everyone laughs]
Art: Heeeyyyy!
Keith [laughing]: Ca-nautical!
Austin (as fan): Yeah, we could. We could take a picture. You wanna? Come over-- We could take a picture.
Austin: And they're wait for YOU to come over to them.
[All laugh]
Austin: And they're doing--
Jack [interrupting]: This is the most busted Aria Joie interaction, and we did a full series of...
Austin: They're doing-- They're making-- They're standing in such a way that you're hover-handing!
[Ali and Jack laugh]
Keith: Um. Mako is very loudly sipping on the end of... You know when you're done with a soda and you can [imitates the sound of sipping through a straw from an empty cup]. Like, this is the noise I've been making for like twelve seconds.
Austin: We're back, baybey!!!

Motherfuckers on TikTok will be saying "If trans men can be lesbians trans women can be gay" as a gotcha to me saying trans men can be lesbians and like ....did you think that was a valid gotcha moment? Because obviously I also support them?? Why would THAT be crossing a line for me? It's just the opposite version of lesboys.

it seems very unfair to me that these horsegirls not only have to aggressively and intensively train for racing like any other top class track & field athlete but they also have to perform on stage afterwards with a massive repertoire of songs and choreography to memorise and master as well. like youre kinda just training two different sports at the highest level at once

OK, WE NEED TO TALK.
To talk about Kozue.
..and miki
I'm sorry for my English, I'm using a translator, but the idea will be clear.
Touga uses Nanami, having seen enough of Akio; Akio is a 10/10 example of what a relationship with a sister should be like/sarc; Miki and Kozue are an example of a relationship where their parents didn't care about raising them, and they ended up seeking support from each other, but does it lead to anything good? Absolutely not.
In general, the relationship between Miki and Kozue is often reduced to the fact that "they're better off than others," but I wouldn't say that, considering that they both live with a problem that prevents them from living their lives. Miki, who doesn't want to grow up and sees Anthy as a reflection of his sister from the past, simply because she plays the piano, in order to claim her and fill the void within himself. Kozue, who "grew up early" and protects her brother from anything that could harm him, but at the same time, she doesn't think about herself and doesn't know what to do, because she can't let go of him and wants to be with him, but at the same time, she seems to understand the wrongness of it all. They're both destroying each other, and their parents don't care about them or what's happening between them, and they're only 13 years old, and they can't resolve this conflict in their relationship on their own.
They don't get as much screen time, but that doesn't mean they're any less significant than the other couples in the RGU. In fact, I find their example more interesting.
I think Miki and Kozue might even get together in the future, if something doesn't break their connection (more or less painfully). But it won't lead to anything good, and we can only guess how it will end.
Nanami and Anthy have opened their eyes to all the shit that's going on, but who will do it with the twins? Again, no one cares about them except for themselves, and even then it's somewhat one-sided, as Miki can always rely on Kozue, but does it work the other way around? It's unlikely. She's alone and has no one to help her, and Miki may never be able to get out of her "coffin." It's a very sad story, really.
Kozue is very likely to have a bad ending. And this is the only student character in the rgu who has no hope in the story.
Saionji is a dumb fuck, and dumb fucks have a very good life on earth.
Touga is young, and he has a chance to redeem himself, and in fact, he has an arc of redemption in the movie when he helps Utena and reveals that he has been a ghost all along.
Miki is still able to get out of his "coffin," and the situation with Anthy and Utena has taught him something.
Juri - she accepted the fact that Shiori was not the right person, and if she was, it was too late and time to let her go, to move on, because her life was not over with unrequited love.
Nanami - she rejected the idea of being with Touga and thought about the meaning of living on her own, without relying on her brother. It was time for her to grow up.
Tsuvabuki is a stupid number two fucker with an older sister complex, but after "getting his ass kicked, he's starting to respect" (This is a Russian-language meme.) and is likely to come to his senses.
Wakaba has also been kicked in the ass, and she's starting to respect . With Utena's support, as she's her best friend, she has a good chance of leaving the academy right after them and Anthy.
And Kozue... It's just Kozue. An angry, unwanted girl. Who, again, is unwanted by anyone, including herself.
In fact, the fact that Miki treats his parents better is not only because he is more naive and "more innocent." It's also because he has a musical talent and a future. He has never brought shame to the family. It's likely that his parents treat him with a bit more warmth.
On the other hand, Kozue has brought shame to the family, despite being in elementary school. She now leads an immoral lifestyle. Running around on the roofs, causing trouble, pushing adults down the stairs, risking his life for some little birds, and having a bunch of sexual partners among other students.
And Miki, arguing with her that their parents actually care about them, doesn't make a distinction that they care about him specifically. And her existence is simply ignored at best.
About Miki... To be honest, I don't really like him. More specifically, I don't like the way the fandom chooses to ignore his darker sides and portray him as an innocent lamb.
Bro, all the anime seems to be like he's literally rejecting his sister because she doesn't fit his idealized image from childhood, but he still allows her to defend himself, which is a shitty attitude. Like, he literally chose a beautiful picture of Anthy, imagining her in his sister's place in the past, when they used to play the piano together, but he chose to forget the harsh truth where Kozue had to play alone (unsuccessfully, because Miki did everything for her and he just enjoyed her company), which led to her nervous breakdown and made her parents less than thrilled with her. He, like everyone else, wanted to take Anthy away from Utena under the pretext that he wanted to make her happy and free, but she was already happy and free compared to what she had been. He just wanted to replace the unpleasant memories and strained relationship with Kozue ANTHY. I don't understand how he can be considered a good sun, and how FD does it, when he treats Anthy like a thing that fulfills all his desires, just like the other duelists.
I understand that he doesn't have to help Kozue solve her problems, but when your sister is busting her ass for you and it's IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE HER FOR SUCH A LONG TIME, but she's also doing self-destructive things. It's strange not to make any attempts to get her out of this mess, and in the case of the Black Rose duel, it's even more strange to indulge in her behavior.
I really like Kōzue, because she's clearly a child who, unlike her genius musician brother, has been neglected and forced to deal with all the problems in her life on her own, as her attitude towards her parents can hardly be attributed to her teenage years. However, she hasn't developed a hatred towards her brother, who receives more attention, and she is clearly disillusioned with the world, people, and herself. Despite this, she genuinely loves her brother and wants to ensure that he doesn't have to experience the harshness of the world the way she did. And in fact, unlike Nanami, her obsession with her brother doesn't seem so much romantic as it is an attempt to maintain control over the only person she truly cares about. While Nanami wants Touga to be her prince, who will save her from all her problems and misfortunes, and won't leave her alone, Kozue seems to be the prince herself, who wants to prevent the evil influence of this world from affecting Miki, but in doing so, she is clearly destroying herself by taking all the blame.
Oh... my girl... I understand that your entire personality has been reduced to being just an appendage to your brother, taking care of him and trying to engage in incestuous activities, and that no one cares about the other aspects of your character, but don't worry, my dear, if there are no fans of yours in the FD, then I am dead.
P.S.
if you've read all the way to the end, then keep my art on Juri/Kozue, because I love them and believe that they are soulmates.
<3
