guido reni -- "adoration of the shepherds" (ca. 1640)

"what had alerted me […] to guido reni was some current research being done by professor semir zeki, chair of neuroaesthetics at university college, london. ordinary, non-artistic folks have been hooked up to brain sensors and shown a bunch of paintings by a variety of historical artists. the probes were set to access blood flow in those parts of the brain that register the kind of pleasure you get when you’re looking at the love of your life. out of all the art flashed at these folks, the painters whose work got the hottest reactions were the english landscape painter john constable, the french neoclassicist j.a. dominique ingres, and, yep, the 17th century italian high-baroque painter guido reni" … lifted from "the painter's keys"

"and you light up my life you give me hope to carry on you light up my days and fill my nights with song" … joseph brooks

"and what is it, you might ask, that caused those pleasure synapses to light up in the brains of ordinary folks? we can’t put it down to lust for the human body — constable’s landscapes were often unpeopled. and ingres’ folks were often prim and proper. but i think i know. it’s good drawing and a sense of form. in italian, modelled form in light and shade is called 'chiaroscuro.' guido reni had lots of it" … lifted from "the painter's keys"

"oh darkness and light will be married tonight in chiaroscuro your body on mine—two colors combine in chiaroscuro" … paula cole

"so mary and joseph, HOW DID YOU get your kid to light up the room for us like this? … al janik (speaking on behalf of the shepherds … who shortly afterward, left their sheep to form commonwealth edison)

Man, sometimes living alone with ADHD really do be like:

Me: Huh, I wonder why I'm so shaky and tired and seeing spots everywhere

Also me: *hasn't eaten food in two days, hasn't had water in just as long, has been hunched over current hyper fixation for hours without moving, hasn't seen sunlight in days*

Me: .... Just one of life's great mysteries I suppose

[nameification]

@horrorsprovider just so you know this gave me so much inspiration i had to stop myself from doing any more

a few more hcs related to this under the cut

pre grove incident:

-didn't "need" it that much but still had it in case -hyacine got it for him after the first soul splitting experiment when he needed to readjust to his body -used it mainly after any alchemy related/soul splitting experiments -many areas he frequents have become very accessible bc of this

post grove incident: -your body being reanimated does numbers to your motor functions -he tries to stay put as much as possible but sometimes you just gotta go outside -left his old cane in the grove (even if he tried to find it it's probably destroyed) so for a while he did rely on cerces to help him move around and at the very least make it appear like he was not in too much pain but he didn't like how not in control of that body he felt so he eventually went out to get himself a new cane -he actually meets hyacine again but since she probably knows of the extent of the damage shes like "professor a cane would be way unhelpful right now !! you shouldn't really be up and about at all, actually... but if you insist on getting out then please use a wheelchair or at the very least forearm crutches !!!" -he relents, convincing hyacine to get him a pair of forearm crutches and a cane -hyacine was right. it's better with the forearm crutches for the first week or two and then he switches over to the cane -there are not a lot of accessibility accomodations in okhema (</3) but he makes it work

other -he likes the cane more than the forearm crutches because he likes having at least one hand free -cerces really helped in the readjustment process a lot because something that would take at least a few years to recover properly (he was *dead* surrounded by *black tide*) took about two months ^two months is the average timeframe between versions and im using that as the basis for the time it took for naxy to relearn how to walk properly. hes definoprobably still in a lot of pain by 3.2 but hey he can walk and maybe fight again !

Everytime my sensor alarm goes off I get filled with indescribable rage.

Like shut the fuck up why are you making noise I will look when I care to or when it's convenient to me 😭

Why are you so obsessed with me 😭

AH I REMEMBERED WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY EARLIER but it's kind of stupid, lmao.

So my partner is getting into brewing beer and I got them a Tilt, which is a Bluetooth hydrometer. It measures specific gravity and temperature, which are things you want to know so that you don't kill your yeast or whatever. Except the sensor's Bluetooth range is super short, and it basically runs via a phone app, and the temperature we're logging currently is the crawlspace, accessible via the staircase closet. So they were like, wait, what do we do about this, because I can't leave my phone in the closet, that's my alarm clock.

In a kind of ridiculous turn of life imitating art, I was like, hold up, I got just the thing right at my desk. Bam. Old phone. We just needed to scrounge up a charger because the battery is so dead that after charging just enough to power on it claimed it was at 53% (to be fair to it, there is a very real chance that it's correct, and it just holds no charge at this point so the capacity is just THAT low) and now it lives in the closet logging sensor data.

And I was like, you know...didn't I just solve a major story detail with a much larger version of this...yeah, no, this is all vaguely familiar somehow, power supply issues and all. Kind of cool that the concept works though. Kind of weird that it came up at all?

We are not gonna talk about the fact that I still have at least two more ancient-ass phones in a drawer where that came from because look, man, sometimes you just need a camera/mic/mini computer with Bluetooth and wifi that fits in a pocket, and people just get rid of these things, but not me. I actually could build a shitty security system out of them if I was reaaaally inclined. I mean. I'm not. But it's technically possible.

For real though, If I pick up any stupid maker projects I still high-key am thinking about slapping Bluetooth into a necomimi headset and running that through an Arduino and learning to code just enough to let me skip songs/change the volume on Spotify with my brain, because it's entirely doable, and I mean yeah I could do that on my phone remotely too, but that's not funny, now, is it. I'm just not sure it's $350+ of parts funny. Kind of a big investment just to prove the point that haha look I am the extremely ADHD type of lazy where I would rather solve a problem via the most convoluted and complicated Rube-Goldberg type ass machine way possible rather than just perform a single simple action.

YEAH I'VE BEEN THIS SCATTERED ALL DAY AND I REALLY SHOULD GO TO BED SHOULDN'T I. I started playing Satisfactory. Mistakes were made. I'm going to dream about conveyor belts again and I did it to myself...

opened up facebook like oh hello friend from high school. you're just "trying a new name?" no i get it, cis people do that all the time, i'm not reading into it at all. that new name you're trying out sure is very gender neutral of you. your hair is looking a little long, huh

Neuromarketing: how brands are manipulating your brain?

A process called neuromarketing blends marketing with neuroscience. Also discusses how consumer behavior is impacted by the marketing system and how the human brain responds to it. It influences consumer behavior, feelings, and decision-making. It examines how the brain processes and reacts to marketing-related stimuli like branding, packaging, and product design. To learn how the brain reacts to various marketing stimuli, neuromarketing strategies can utilize eye tracking, biometric tests, and brain imaging instruments like fMRI and EEG.
