Remington Steele

Here’s a throwback… One of the worst labels ever created–a true testament to 80’s and 90’s design–crazy-busy with graphics and geometry and gold lilt–but horrible enough to be rather iconic sitting on a shelf. Someone who saw the beauty of Lake County fruit before it became a popular, low-cost alternative to Napa wines. The label has received a facelift from the new owners, and finding some of…

Quick art I did on a 5 hour bus ride of my favorite wine-aunt

Don’t mind that I draw him in jeans and a slutty red button up, I think it’s so funny.

my energy has been low lately so i've stuck to just liveblogging chapter releases, but i was thinking earlier about why lore olympus really nettles me and it's truly indicative of a wider issue.

it's disappointing that a major ancient religion that is still practiced by some people today has been reduced to a caricature of itself, and i say this knowing that there are thousands of reinterpretations of the greek myths, there will always be a new opinion or retelling of them. retelling the myth of hades and persephone isn't necessarily the issue, so much as the constant and dripping disdain to the cultural roots. we don't need to be greek to appreciate the story, but why remove everything greek from it? why westernize every aspect and remove ties to the cultural roots? why whitewash everything from a myth thousands of years old?

part of the reason these myths continue to resonate with us is because the themes are still relevant today. the loss of a child, the struggle against impossible forces, the (often patriarchal) powers against you, a mothers love. these stories hold power, they gave hope and inspiration, they created meaning and connection, and they were vital to the people who lived in that time, in that place. they will resonate with us for many years still, but stripping the roots and core of it out only makes it a hollow, shallow imitation. it's reality tv with neon colours, no love or heritage present; it's cold and shiny and plastic, and it insults what it claims to portray.

"We will see the dawn, no matter what."

As the citizens of Mondstadt look towards a new day, their eyes still linger on their leader's dust flowing into the wind. Now it was just them. Them and the winged twin of their leader. A parody of the sharp bard, for this one stumbles as they walk. This one can hardly hold a pen. This one's voice is completely unlike their beloved leader.  It is the voice of a godkiller, and while the years may dull their suspicion, that will be then and this is now. For now, all the citizen know is that their leader is dead, no matter what side they were fighting on yesterday.

Okay so bestie im rotating an au where NB is alive and im just thinking about him getting an education and having the chance to not be a leader. So he goes to Sumeru and people are just .... at his casual blasphemy his essay was titled "Which Archeon would like Thin Mints?" and Nahida found this one to be her favorite of that year. When questioned on why he is Like This, he ominously smiles c:

I imagine him and Wanderer would butt heads over "how best to be an academic annoyance w/ a side of casual blasphemy" because Wanderer is just there to poke holes in people's arguments and NB is just having a grand ol' time

The Eras Tour has taken over my life and soul, therefore:

genuinely don’t know what’s worse between crowley being completely unable to enter the bookshop (either because he can’t bring himself to emotionally or because zira no longer owns it and he has to be reinvited in) and crowley spending as much time as possible in the bookshop only to be haunted by little memories of aziraphale the whole time

It's too bad that in general it's frowned upon to write a book that's just a detailed psychoanalysis of one of your close friends because I have some thoughts about his relationship with brands that I would really like to share with someone
