funniest thing ever to me about the temple of saturn in the roman forum is that it's an extremely iconic monument and often used when talking about the forum but if you look closely some of the columns were put in wrong
how do you come up with the colour schemes for your rainworld playthroughs, like the nice blue and yellow contrast of the Lost, the Caretaker's cool brown and blue colours and the Found's shades of pink/red
i must know
Tbh you know as much as i do lmao
I kinda just... pick my favorite colors at the moment ? I think the only pattern i can see between all of them is that i normally pick eye + pelt colors that contrast each other in some way
"José y Maria" (2014 - Everett Patterson) / "Unfinished Painting" (1989 - Keith Haring)
JOSÉ Y MARIA: the only religious art I've ever wanted to own. The entire thing is jam-packed with biblical references, too many to list, but what matters to me as a TX resident is the blatant depiction of the holy family as exactly the sort of people that folks around here would rather condemn than help. The first time I saw this it hit like a punch in the gut. (hugintheraven)
UNFINISHED PAINTING: A self-portrait left intentionally "incomplete". I'm roughly the same age as Haring was when AIDS ended his life and I can only begin to imagine how it must feel to know that your life has been cut short a third of the way through. I get such a lump in my throat each time I look at this. (louisianna)
("José y Maria" is a digital illustration done by Everett Patterson for a Christmas card in 2014 and can be found on his website.
"Unfinished Painting" is an acrylic on canvas painting by Keith Haring. It measures 39 x 39 in (99 x 99 cm) and is located in National Portrait Gallery, in Washington DC. This was Haring’s last painting and it was intentionally left incomplete.)
i feel like almost everything in utena has sort of already been extensively discussed in the last two (almost three) decades of utena's existence (not that there aren't new interpretations to be made, there always are) besides black rose arc (mikage+mamiya+tokiko). which is why they're so much fun to think about. i think the need to read between the lines makes it unfortunately easy to misunderstand or look past obvious stuff if you don't pay attention, but to me it's always been really obvious that mikage's arc is a literal representation of the erasure of queerness in ohtori (society?) by akio/everything he represents. and that's so fucking tragic! nemuro was never able to find a name for his desires. he lived and died as a puppet in the shadows.
Sometimes I see someone say something about a piece of media as if it is revelatory mind blowing hot off the press news, and not the most basic obvious point of the work or the most basic obvious allusion, and it makes me roll my eyes a little because I'm like yeah yeah the time knife we've all seen it, and then I have to like physically step in and shake myself and be like actually Susan we have Not all seen the time knife, and anyway someone else is enjoying the wonders of media analysis as a hobby for maybe like. The first time in their life if they're young enough. Don't be a bozo just because you think you're smart. Nerd. Fuckass. If you were a high school english teacher you'd be pissing yourself in joy rn because someone connected the dots. That's so cool that they did that. And I go about my day because I'm normal
