The Amazing Digital Circus is invading my brain and for the life of me I can’t stop thinking about Kaufmo.

(Umm. It’s kind of dark so please be aware I think…)

You know that one silly clown guy that got abstracted in the pilot and we never see him again?

Yeah I can’t stop thinking about him.

Kaufmo has so much depth and lore that I can’t wait to hear more of (if we get more of it) AND GOSH DO I HAVE QUESTIONS!

Did anyone like him before he got taken? Did people hate him? DID people like him? How did they feel about him??

How did he act? Was he always crazy was he just some sweet guy that tried to stay positive but ended up just…

…Breaking?….Just like that?…..(which shatters my heart to think about…)

And it also hurts to think about, but how does it feel like to be abstracted?….I’ve heard this one theory and/or headcannon that: when someone gets abstracted it’s like suicide?…

Like the way they talk about it: “I can’t believe he just…gave up like that..”

THAT sounds like-….Like Kaufmo abstracted because he just couldn’t take it…Did all of them end up abstracting that way??

And how does it feel…How does it feel to be mangled up. To be just a black warped thingy with eyes. TO HAVE TO BE ABLE TO LIVE AND JUST EXIST LIKE THAT. Does it hurt them?? Does it hurt to even breathe like that??

I found another person describing it as just dying over and over and over again and that. It breaks me. WTF DOES IT FEEL LIKE??.

I’m getting to ahead of myself, because I think WAY TOO DEEP in these things-. It’s like whenever I watch a scary movie, like the Exorcist or something of just..how does it feel to be possessed like that?…Is it never ending hell? What do you see?….Does it hurt to move to think to speak to breathe to DO ANYTHING??

Again sorry but- I NEED ANSWERS‼️‼️‼️‼️

(And one more thing..Did Kaufmo abstract JUST from wanting to leave or….something else?….Like he obviously wanted to get out but what if there was something else that tipped him over the edge….AGAIN JUST A THOUGHT. Might not be true but….just a thought…)

#The Amazing Digital Circus #TADC #Rambles #Mention of abstraction #What does it mean to…abstract?….#If it’s like the way I think it is….it pulls my heart strings…hurts me physically- I WANT TO HUG KAUFMO #And I also just hope we get to see him #At least see what he was like before….he couldn’t…#OR BEST CASE SCENARIO- THEY SAVE HIM 💗💗#<:D……..#Kaufmo

uh oh

#art #obey me #obey me raphael #jtta ik #forcing myself to have a go at shading things. if i never try i will never get better!!!!!!!#mind if i brain dump real quick bc i've been thinking lately about how i refer to myself as a writer but never an artist #whenever i mention it i always say 'i draw stuff' or 'illustrate' instead #it's not like i feel particularly inferior about how i draw bc of course! i haven't gotten around to even touching an art course!!#but to me 'artist' encapsulates a sort of abstract skill and i always feel like i draw much more objectively #it is just The Thing That I Am Depicting and that's prob why i have such trouble with shading and any non-literal colouring #the best thing i've made so far is that one satan thing and i have yet to remember how i managed that #anyway i've been trying some new stuff out!! slowly but surely #that's all mostly stuff i'll keep to myself though #anyway if you actually read through all that Thank you i love you

the way hozier titles a song "i, carrion (icarian)" where he sings about the self-destructive idea of sacrificing himself by flying into sun to save his relationship, and compares himself to 'carrion', the decaying flesh of animals, often a word used for roadkill. to then go and write a song called "abstract (psychopomp)" about how holding an animal whilst it dies mirrors the mercy of ending a failing relationship, similar to a 'psychopomp' - a deliverer of death. and we watch as hozier turns from 'icarian' to 'psychopomp' when he realises that prolonging suffering is crueler than just letting love die. i'm both in awe and crying on my bedroom floor.

and the way a carrion crow is also a symbol of death ?? and how 'carrion' sounds like 'carry on' the way icarus kept going ?? and how he sounds envious of his lover's courage in "abstract" ?? how when the sun is gone - "streetlights in the dark blue" - he can no longer blind himself and is forced to look at the corpse of his relationship ?? how to love is to let go ?? how can he keep getting away with this i'm sobbing ??

#the icarian and abstract mirroring goes CRAZY #i could go for hours if you want me to i will i will never shut up #and we aren't even MENTIONING 'inferno'#how dante grows meaner the further he descends #the way 'inferno' gets darker with each circle and #how 'icarus' is about the light of day but 'abstract' is the darkness of night #ripping my hair out btw #hozier's inferno #hozier #unreal unearth #lyric analysis #i am chewing walls #wasteland baby

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you

#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what #allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of #the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than #to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do #im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt #take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was #mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their #mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that #explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain #direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in #arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to #engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out #theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive #a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked #picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing #sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example #for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war #is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old #wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for #steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with #especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can #look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never #treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time #but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made #feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them #accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me #yapping #diary

the radiance's fluffy defence

#hollow knight #the radiance #little ghost #hi tumblr friends i'm still in embargo mode for 6.4 so i'm not posting art or anything about it until later #i do intend to spoiler the shit out of anything i might post about 6.4 so when the time comes the posts can be safely filtered #anyway enough about ffxiv on a hk post i think the radiance's damage is reduced by her fluff #i've already mentioned it in the past but she's my favourite purely on a design basis #it's so cool that her form is so... abstract? stylised?#compared to what you'd expect to see when you hear moth god

not used to this kind of mascot

#art #traditional art #watercolour #fanart #vocal synth #synthv #synthesizer v #asterian #koharu rikka #genbu #voicevox #kurono takehiro #zundamon #and a tiny tiny solaria and saros mention LOL #i think this is loosely inspired by the memory of some vine or tiktok i saw where a guy goes into a bathroom at a buddys house #and their dog is in there just staring at him. while hereditary music is playing. you know the one #the eclipsed sounds celestial polycule are interesting as a unique design style because like #rather than a full anime mascot or an abstract design boxart (the more common styles nowadays) theyre in a middle ground #with full mascot designs that translate to fanart pretty well that can appeal to the capital v vsynth community #while also not being too anime to scare off north american music industry people LOL pretty interesting needle they threaded there #all that to say i think it would be funny if they werent used to doujin ass open source software bullshit like miss zunda of mon #theyve only ever been in synthv the weirdest they know is like. frimomen <3 he probably thought his squads celestial deity thing was #already out there enough.... he doesnt know.... he doesnt know about the zunda arrow #god i watched zunda horizon recently. the little half hour animated special they did for zunko and her crowd #it was so cute and funny. these girls fought wars over beans. people were dying.

I just don't believe anyone reposting those lists about "here's 15+ different places with Problems going on (just like palestine!!)" knows or cares enough to be able to explain what's happening in more than 1/4 of them in anything approaching the depth appropriate to doing the topic justice

#also very easy to group together w western propaganda #lost count how many times ive seen like cuban crackdown on free speech or uyghur genocide on those lists #or viet nam #youre not spreading solidarity by forcing dozens of qualitatively different situations into the same mold #not to mention that zionist apologists have literally been weaponizing those lists since day 1 #'oh you claim to care about palestinians but i havent seen you talk about....'#like this could be seen coming from miles away #forms of comparisons that dont abstract to the point of uselessness tend to come in pairs #moreover. the way those are often grouped under the label 'free x' or 'save y'#or vague calls to boycott when theres no labor organizations within that region even calling for that #who is doing the freeing who is doing the saving how do your means match your ends

There are no stars. There is no light. There will be no future. (Requested by @thediscoelysiumlesbian )

Alt text: Screencaps from Revolutionary Girl Utena with overlaid text. 1: A closeup of Anthy's eyes, hair down and no glasses, staring down Utena in the moment she discovers Akio abusing Anthy. Text: "Oh, yes."

2: A closeup of Utena's eyes, wide with shock, from the same scene. Text: "This is real darkness."

3: A framed photo of Akio and Anthy, half in shadow as the window shades rise to reveal the room. Text: "Real darkness has love for a face."

4: Anthy's silhouette, hair flying wildly, pierced by many blades. Text: "The first death is in the heart." End alt text.

#revolutionary girl utena #disco elysium #anthy #utena #akio #requests #csa tw #this one i had to think on for a long time #the thing about that quote from dora is that she mentions csa as not being true darkness #meanwhile the central thesis of rgu #is that domestic abuse and especially csa is one of the most devastating examples #of darkness that wears love for a face #i remember bristling at that quote when i first read it honestly lmfao #bc i was like why would you bring csa into this?#but i suppose it goes along w dolores dei being a sort of symbol of moralism #treating death and war and child molestation as extreme abstract concepts #and not the same realities that literally define almost every detail and interaction and character in this game #anyway ty for this request it gave me lots of food for thought!

Not to victim blame or anything, but if i were trying to organize a non-doomed Arctic expedition i would simply not name my ship the Terror

#not to mention EREBUS #'Hey what should we name our ships after?' 'Hmmm... what about. The abstract concept of fear. and the Eternal Darkess--#--that souls pass through on their way to hell in Greek mythology.' 'YEAH sounds GREAT!'#you are just begging god to kill you at that point #im sure this has been said before but i only just started watching this series so don't @ me #the terror

I need my biotech professor to stop putting questions in her take-home exams that require that I go look up papers that require a very specific (and secret) combination of keywords to find. Like, she requires citations on almost everything, and there's information that is in my head, but I can't just write it on paper and call it a day because that's not a citation. Which adds probably an hour minimum to each question, if not more.

Cannot wait to be done with this class, honestly,

#grad school #found a paper from 1986 that is behind a paywall but the abstract is along the right lines #I can see the abstract and first page good enough honestly #I have had no time to work on my actual thesis because of this class so sue me if I just take the first paper that is related #^worth mentioning that I absolutely do not do that in actual important papers just exams with standards that are too high

SPOILERS!!

Oh my god???(Golb) there’s so much going on in these two episodes I don’t know where to start.

Okay episodic, without Simon, Marcy gets raised by her dad and turns vicious and pretentious, which contrasts with how Marshall is down to earth and doesn’t get along with his mom.

That whole episode seemed to focus on the father-daughter relationship between multiple characters: Marcy and Simon, Marshall and his mom, Fionna and Martin, and baby Finn and Martin.

Side note but really sad how Martin loved baby Finn and protected Fionna and didn’t even know they were related. Don’t even know if Fionna knows that’s her dad(mom). We also now know why Fionna has his jacket in the intro!

Of course there’s also the parallels between apocalypse Bonnie and Marcy and Marshall and Gary. Marshall and Gary are in the start of their relationship, while Bonnie and Marcy are literally at the end, as it implies they both die. While Marshall and Gary stand together and Gary sticks up for Marshall, making the sacrifice to throw his opportunity at becoming big in the baking industry away, Marcy and Bonnie make a sacrifice together by dying together.

And that leads to the second episode, the one about sacrifice. In this one we have our side plot being Simon and Betty’s love story that Simon tells Fionna to distract her. (Clearly none of them have healthy coping mechanisms.) We can see that, while Simon does love Betty, Betty made the sacrifices for Simon while Simon did nothing. Fionna even asks if Simon got on the bus with Betty while Simon seems shocked and confused as to why he would do that.

Simon has not had to make any sacrifices when it came to Betty. Another form of sacrifice we see is when BMO sacrifices himself in order to help them. And really the whole plot of this episode involves the previous one where Cake basically sacrificed her safety to try to nab the crown from the vampire king.

These episodes really focus on sacrifices and the consequences for loved ones those sacrifices make, which I find VERY interesting.

Maybe that’s why, at the end, Simon is able to FINALLY see Betty again, because he sacrificed his sanity for Fionna and Cake, even though at this point Fionna doesn’t want him to because she didn’t realize until this episode how crazy and miserable Ice King actually was.

He even says “goodbye brain” while flashback Betty says “goodbye Simon.” Maybe this symbolizes the sacrifices they made that were the hardest for them and that’s what brought them together. Or maybe Betty’s wish of keeping Simon safe stopped him from losing his mind again.

From what we’ve gathered so far, everyone in this series is miserable. Even the Lich. It seems, no matter if they get their wish, they still end up sad and alone.

Really interested in how they’ll top off this series next week!!

#fionna and cake #simon petrikov #betty adventure time #fionna Campbell #fionna the human #cake the cat #prismo #marceline #Marshall lee #princess bubblegum #Gary prince #martin mertens #Finn the human #adventure time #also didn’t mention it last week but cake and Fionna’s dreams have gone from abstract to reflecting the reality of the worlds!!#also notice how we haven’t seen the boss boss yet
