Hi! I always find your answers to writing questions enlightening, so I hope you can help me as well. I'm working on my first FFXIV fic, but English isn't my first language and I find staying true to canon characters speech pattern difficult (it's not really the English I'm used to) and I'm completely frightened by when I'll have to write Urianger. Do you have any resources or advice for that? Sorry for the weird question and thank you in advance ❤️

The language in FFXIV, in EN and as far as I know JP, is using a slightly archaic mode of speech that is even difficult for native speakers sometimes. So it's easy to feel confused and intimidated by it! Words like gaol, chirugeon, corse, swiving, and so on are are all real words that have fallen out of common use. The etymology of "gun" in the lore mirrors that of the real world (related to a queen's name). Even the Thieves Cant used by Limsa's Rogues Guild is based in reality (with some substitutions made), and can be looked up. The writers and translators are, funnily enough, language nerds. The names of various things/groups/etc usually actually mean something and aren't just made up entirely.

In universe, the reason EN Urianger talks in a version of Modern English (other translations of Urianger apparently don't go quite so archaic) is due of his childhood tendencies to self-isolate and read older books, adopting those speech patterns cuz he's a quirky nerd. Loiusoix gave that explanation in 1.x, and it's reiterated in Urianger's lorebook entry.

(Modern English starts in the late 14th century and early versions are recognizable if difficult to parse, versus Middle or Old English which are incomprehensible without study.)

Reading (or watching/listening) to Shakespearian English is a good way to get more used to Urianger's speech. Also they really are fun plays and poems; they were written for everyone to enjoy as popular entertainment, and are full of jokes and goofiness, even many of the tragedies. People think they're stuffy highbrow (they're not), and the cultural/social contexts are missing in a lot of cases anymore (the "William Shakespeare" tag on my main blog has more of that).

Writers off the top of my head to subscribe to who ship with the fortune-teller so write him often are @gunbun and @beetlebrownleaf; they've got his speech patterns and mannerisms pretty well down.

Here are some posts in my "language" tag (which I also often tag with Urianger and Midgardsormr, as he and some of the First Brood also speak a bit archaic):

Archaic Words - a short list of archaic words and their meanings.

Urianger Language Infographic - one fun way to try to learn the thy/thou/thee.

How To Thou/Thee/Thy/Thine/Ye Chart - what is says on the tin. Another handy method that may work for folks.

More Infographs - more silly pics explaining those pesky pronouns.

Discussion Thread on Modern English - random info thread from Tumblr users.

Urianger Discuss Thread - beetlebrownleaf and gunbun discussing Urianger-speak and some off-Tumblr resources they use when writing our favorite nerd.

One thing to remember about Modern/Shakespearian/Elizabethan English is "thee/thou/thy/thine" were actually informal, while "you" was formal. Like how some languages now have informal "you" versus formal "you." "Tu" versus "vous" in French, "tú" versus "usted" in Spanish, etc. And then we get into the plurals, and so on.

Which means Ye (subject)/You (object)/Your get used as both Plural and Formal.

Thou is Singular You as the Subject. Thee is Singular You as the Object. Thy is used for words starting with Consonants. Thine is used for words starting with Vowels ("H" counts).

If using "Thine", then that's when you'd use "Mine"; one of the links gives the example of "thine eyes" versus "mine eyes."

Doth = Does In fact, -eth and -th verb endings? It's just -es and -s endings.

Second person changes this up and we end up with "thou dost", "thou willt", "thou shallt".

"Ye" is actually not used for "The." That comes from an old letter no longer used in English, þ ("thorn"), that used to be the "th" sound, and as the letter fell out of use--especially in early printing--the letter "y" was substituted as a close visual equivalent but still pronounced "th". Which is why we have all those RenFaire signs.

There's more, so please check the links (especially gunbun's offsite resources) as of course there are irregular conjugations and exceptions and substitutions and special circumstances...but honestly for fanfic, just having "you" and basic verb conjugation sorted goes a long way to getting the correct "feel" of Urianger's EN speech.

In the end though: don't actually be intimidated by the language in FFXIV when it comes to writing fanfiction. Getting the NPCs to act and think in character regardless of language use is more important if aiming for authenticity. You can do your best with making the language sound close to the game's writing (avoid modern slang you don't see in game, for instance), but it's fanfic. Don't sweat it, ignore the grousing of your word doc's grammar check as needed, and it'll come easier in time with practice.

I just read though your whole infographic, and I wanted to ask, is Hamas basically a Palestinian version of the Irish Sinn Fein?

Reading through your post, it sounded like they are very similar, with a political wing (like the one Bobby Sands was in) and a military wing (the IRA), so I was wondering if that was an apt comparison?

I'm American Diasporic Irish, so your infographic was the first actual description of Hamas I've heard other than the american media explanation of 'scary terrorists,' but I learned a lot about Sinn Fein and the IRA when I was a teenager because one of my favourite TV shows has a character who's in Sinn Fein/the IRA, so it's a frame of reference that's easy to understand for me.

I keep hearing comparisons to South Africa, which I'm sure I'm sure are relevant, but it sounds like Sinn Fein may be a more direct analogy to Hamas. (also, I learned arabic when I was in college and I watched a lot of translated TV shows to help me with comprehension and that same TV show with the character in the IRA/Sinn Fein, when they translated it into Arabic, they just made her be in Hamas and straight swapped NI for Palestine in the arabic version, so I'm assuming it's a pretty comparable situation).

Anyway, I'm sorry if it's a dumb question, but it would help me understand.

Hi anon,

Please don’t apologise for asking a great question ✨

I think you’re right with saying that there are some similarities between the two from what I remember about the Irish Sinn Fein. I am definitely going to refresh my memory. I had posted those screenshots as a means of educating everyone about Hamas because of the lies western media has portrayed over the years. I am so sick of the propaganda.

And about the comparison to South Africa, absolutely! As a South African whose parents and grandparents went through the apartheid, we feel it’s the right of the Palestinians that we stand by them! ❤️ everybody should stand with the Palestinians.

Top characters to get an Alt in the new event

1. Shinya - He’s getting a new VA, and that is a TON of work LW is putting into the character if Shinya’s not going to get some new lines related to a variant.

2. Jacob - The infographic has already been translated to mentioning “The Fist of Love” and since this event seems to be focused on the Missionaries, Jacob’s the only guy who fits. 

3. Tanetomo - The event focuses on “Love and War” implying the Warmongers, and Tane’s the only one of the Hakkenshi to not have a limited unit, and the Hakkenshi tend to be valentine’s themed (aside from Yasuyori)

4. Marduk, Mephistopheles or Yoritomo - Since Shinya and Jacob and damn near confirmed, and LW likes to balance things between characters, the Warmongers with the most potential for a limited are these 3. I’m feeling Marduk the most since he doesn’t seem to be getting that important in the main quest, and we know the most about him already.

In general, I really want to make an animation or a comic book on this story with a Dark Chiro, but I'm still studying and I shouldn't wait for the holidays, and the study is higher than the roof ... so in my posts I will tell a little bit of the story of this character, since finding a person who could translate the story will be very difficult. And I don't have the strength to write it now, again, studying + orders, and taking courses on infographics. So for now, let's make do with this. I will describe both simple facts and pieces of history. Start. (The whole story begins with the last episodes where they were looking for artifacts for the resurrection of the Skeleton King.)

Valina and Mandarin were collecting artifacts for the resurrection of the Skeleton King, one of them was an unusual sphere located in the temple, having made their way there and almost got the artifact, the couple wanted to take it as our heroes appeared here, after which the battle began. Chiro ordered the monkeys to grab the sphere and get away, but the Mandarin managed to grab the sphere while Valina distracted the team with her witchcraft. The maneuver did not pass, Sparks attacked the Mandarin trying to take away the sphere, Chiro began to fight with the witch, the rest of the monkeys joined in to help the red one, but the Mandarin was able to escape and ran to Valina on the way, a charge was shot at him from behind, which caused him to fall, dropping the sphere that illuminated them three: Valina, Chiro, Mandarin. The girl's skin turned pink, her hair changed color, the evil monkey changed before her eyes ... she began to look like ... before betrayal! It was a miracle! The monkeys couldn't believe their eyes. And he didn't even change with Chiro, only his military clothes fell off, and the guy appeared in front of the monkeys in ordinary everyday clothes. The stunned primates stared at the two villains while they tried to figure out what was going on, clearly not understanding where they were.

This was a brief backstory, I didn't paint it too much, I didn't get to the moment on art, wait for it in the following posts, so fandom.

7 Fundamentals Of Icon Design

Icons play a vital role in digital marketing by conveying meaning visually across websites, apps, infographics, and more. To engage audiences effectively, icons should follow certain design principles. However, creating effective icons requires a deep understanding of fundamental principles and design techniques. Let’s explore seven core considerations for creating professional icon sets.

Why icon design matters

Icons are essential visual elements that play a crucial role in enhancing user experience across various digital platforms. They serve as a powerful tool for conveying meaning, functionality, and brand identity, and they can significantly impact the overall usability, accessibility, and aesthetic appeal of a product or service.

Enhancing usability and intuitive navigation: well-designed icons can effectively communicate actions and functions, enabling users to quickly and easily navigate through interfaces. By providing visual cues that are universally understood, icons eliminate the need for extensive text descriptions, reducing cognitive load and enhancing the overall user experience.

Strengthening brand identity with visual consistency: a consistent icon set can effectively represent a brand’s personality and values, reinforcing brand recognition and establishing a cohesive visual identity across multiple touchpoints. By using a consistent style and color palette, icons can convey a brand’s unique essence and establish a sense of familiarity among users.

Translating concepts and functionality across language barriers: in contrast to text-based interfaces, icons offer an unparalleled advantage in terms of global accessibility and inclusivity. As visual representations, icons transcend language barriers and can be understood by users regardless of their native tongue. This makes them invaluable for creating seamless user experiences for a global audience.

Enhancing aesthetic appeal and engagement: icon design extends beyond functionality, playing a significant role in shaping the overall aesthetic appeal of a user interface. Thoughtfully crafted icons can add visual interest, vibrancy, and personality to a design, injecting charm and character into the overall experience.

Pixel-perfect precision for scalability and professionalism: icons should be designed with pixel-perfect precision to ensure consistent appearance across varying screen sizes and resolutions. This level of detail contributes to a polished and professional brand image, demonstrating attention to detail and a commitment to quality.

Minimalism for scanability and focus: while icons can add visual interest, it’s crucial to maintain a minimalist approach, avoiding excessive detail and clutter. Too many intricate elements can hinder scanability and make it difficult for users to quickly grasp the intended meaning of the icon.

Distilling complexity into intuitive symbolism: effective icon design is about simplifying complex concepts into easily recognizable symbols. By using universally understood shapes, lines, and forms, icons can convey meaning immediately, fostering a sense of understanding and emotional connection with users.

Consistent visual weight

Icons, despite their petite size, play a crucial role in user interface hierarchies. Achieving consistent visual weight among icons ensures that users can easily distinguish between primary and secondary actions, aiding navigation and usability. This can be achieved by adjusting the size, line thickness, color saturation, or overall complexity of the icons.

Example: Imagine a set of icons where one stands out as significantly larger than the rest. This incongruity not only disrupts visual harmony but also erodes the brand’s credibility.

Simplicity and minimalism

Icons thrive on simplicity and minimalism. By stripping away unnecessary details and focusing on essential shapes and forms, icons become more recognizable and memorable. Avoid cluttering icons with overly intricate details or gradients, as these can hinder legibility and clarity.

Example: Picture an animated icon set overloaded with unnecessary details. The result? Icons that appear heavy, confusing, and fail to resonate with the audience.

Creating icons with a consistent brand voice

Icons should seamlessly align with the overall brand identity, reflecting the brand’s personality and visual style. This consistency ensures that icons reinforce brand recognition and contribute to a cohesive user experience. Consider using the brand’s color palette, typography, and overall aesthetic to create icons that resonate with the brand’s essence.

Example: Consider a scenario where a brand uses diverse icon styles across various media. This inconsistency may create an impression of a shapeshifting, unreliable business.

Designing icons with enough white space

White space, also known as negative space, is an essential element in icon design. While it may seem counterintuitive, strategic use of white space can make icons more impactful and visually appealing. White space allows icons to breathe, reducing visual clutter and emphasizing the icon’s essential elements.

Example: Envision a set of icons crammed together without adequate white space. The result? A chaotic and unprofessional appearance that undermines user experience.

Pixel-perfect design

Icons are typically displayed on digital screens, where pixelation can be an issue. To ensure that icons maintain their crispness and clarity, it’s crucial to design them with pixel-perfect precision. This involves paying close attention to line weights, proportions, and overall resolution to ensure that icons look their best across different screen sizes.

Example: Imagine encountering a set of icons that appear blurry on certain devices. This inconsistency detracts from the overall professionalism and cohesiveness of the brand.

Contrast & color palettes

Contrast plays a vital role in icon design, making it easier for users to distinguish between foreground elements and background elements. Use contrasting colors to make icons stand out and ensure that they are easily recognizable. However, consider the overall color palette of the app or website to ensure that icons complement the existing design.

Example: Visualize a scenario where contrasting colors are too dark, rendering icons nearly invisible. Alternatively, excessively light colors may clash with website themes, compromising user experience.

Geometric shapes have more influence

Geometric shapes are often preferred in icon design due to their inherent simplicity and universal understanding. Circles, squares, triangles, and other basic shapes can effectively convey a wide range of concepts and ideas. However, don’t shy away from experimenting with more complex shapes if they effectively represent the intended meaning.

Example: Envision an icon designed with haphazard free-form elements. This lack of structure may instill uncertainty in consumers and diminish their confidence in the associated content.

The bottom line

Consistency, meticulous attention to user experience, and a strategic blend of design elements form the bedrock of creating professional icon sets. Each principle, from maintaining visual weight to embracing geometric shapes, contributes to a cohesive, visually appealing, and trustworthy brand image. As you embark on your icon design journey, remember: every pixel matters, and each shape tells a story.

By adhering to the fundamentals discussed above, designers can create icons that are not only visually appealing but also functional, consistent, and aligned with the overall brand identity.

About his Short Animations

His short animation got at least 3 main characters which is a little boy, a girl and a grown man with glasses. Also they are like 2 to 3 minutes long and very funny with a fast dialog system.

What I like about his characters are that they don't have any colour and they kind of look like stick figures. Most of the characters are in a very simple art style and easy to animate.

RWBY Volume 8 Crew Commentary Notes!

Here are the writer and director commentary notes for Volume 8 of RWBY! There were almost 4 hours of commentary to get through and it's often hard to figure out what the crew is trying to say at times, so if I missed something it's possible it slipped past me or I couldn't understand the intent. Also, it is often hard to translate what they are saying into a more concise written sentence- so if things seem a bit confusing, that's probably why. Enjoy!

Chapter 1:

Featuring Kerry Shawcross, episode director Kiersi Burkhart

·       Originally more Cinder stuff was going to be in this episode. But they figured that out after Kerry already did a draft of this, so Kiersi stepped in to write the rest of the episode and Kerry’s stuff was moved to later on in the volume.

·       Kiersi wanted a window in the whale.

·       Designing Monstra was a balance between realistic but not extremely gruesome

·       It was hard to write the scene where the whole team is talking because they didn’t want it to feel forced or long

·       To break up that scene more, they decided to do some cut away scenes as they were talking about their plan

·       Having the team divided was something they wanted to do correctly and in a way that made sense

·       These teams made the most sense on a base character level, says Kiersi. Ren is practical and wants to do the thing that seems the most correct ‘right now’. Whereas Nora and Ruby see the bigger picture

·       Kerry says that there are times in Volume 7 where things may have been a bit more flipped, but through their experiences in that volume they see things differently now

·       If they had more time they might have been able to show more about the owners of the restaurant the team was in. But they were able to get across that the place was now abandoned

·       Ruby has changed compared to V7 and knows she can no longer trust Ironwood

·       Originally they were going to show Clover’s corpse and then the Ace Op’s reaction, but decided to do the opposite to make things more emotional

·       The scene of Ironwood shooting a man was written in 2019 but as the world evolved, it became a harder scene to watch.

Chapter 2:

Kerry and Miles Luna and Paula, the director of the episode

·       It’s difficult to design a connected jail cell where they can all talk

·       There is a square on the ground that can lift up a toilet

·       Paula imagines the Happy Huntresses as older counterparts to team RWBY

·       Yang getting a hoverbike was a pre-volume 1 idea

·       The hound is shown 3 times in the background before its official reveal

·       Jaune’s shield grenades were originally supposed to be in V7

·       They wanted each team member to have a variety of different upgrades

·       This episode has a lot of set up for later things in the volume (Oscar and Ozpin, Jaune and Ren)

·       Paula has a headcanon that Weiss has visited the shipping facility before and loved it and takes pride in it

·       There was going to be more to seeing the Dust Refinery that the happy huntresses were at

·       Miles writing the introduction of the Hound was inspired by a Halo game where the Covenant started running from a bigger threat

 Chapter 3:

Kerry, Kiersi, and Dustin

·       All the writers were scared to write this episode because of the logistics of it. Kiersi wrote this one thought

·       Dustin was inspired by the anime Dr. Stone to make the 2D infographic explaining Ruby’s semblance

·       Pietro remoting into Penny is meant to be both funny and weird

·       They were nervous about the first big fight being in the third episode, since usually they show up before then

·       Dustin had to make a list to keep track of all the effects during the fight because there were so many

·       Penny has not had the maiden powers for long, but she does copy what she has seen from Fria and Cinder to start building her repertoire of moves

·       They always knew they wanted Nora to do a big super-saiyan move this season. They also wanted her hair to stand up/look fried for a long time.

·       The marks Nora got from being electrocuted were inspired by how scars look after someone gets hit by lightning

Chapter 4:

Featuring Kerry, Eddy Rivas, and Connor Pickens, the director

·       Some of the animation for this episode was done during the transition to work from home. Assets for this episode were done early so this episode was animated first.

·       They changed a board/animatic last minute in V7 to get Qrow and Robyn arrested

·       Chase scenes are a much different challenge than fight scenes to create. Star Wars pod racing was a big inspiration

·       A lot of the beats for the chase scene were already in the script, rather than all that being figured out in the animatic

·       Ren needed to be the MVP at the end of the chase scene to set up his resentment later

·       The outdoor sets aren’t meant to be seen from all angles

·       During their argument, originally Ren was also going to yell at Jaune for overreacting with Cinder in V5

·       Confirmed that Salem was tormenting Oz with the memory of their children (when Oscar is in the whale for the first time)

·       They always wanted Oscar and Salem to interact in this volume.

·       Eddy was concerned with how intense Oscar’s torture would be

·       There was originally a line from Salem that said “I’ll leave you three to it” while she was leaving Oscar after torturing him

·       There was originally more framing calling back to the two groups (Jaune, Ren, and Yang, and the other team) and why they split

 Chapter 5

Featuring Kerry, Miles, and Paula

·       Originally Pietro had grav-boots on the bottom on his chair and he was working on the outside of the tower, and Penny startles him and he drops his wrench

·       And then when Cinder was attacking, his chair would get deactivated. The episode got too long for all of this and needed a lot of trimming

·       There is some friction with Pietro and Penny because Pietro is overprotective

·       They knew that Pietro and Maria wouldn’t have much time in this season, but they wanted to give them a brief moment to shine

·       Originally it was supposed to be Maria in the mech fighting Emerald and Neo, but the scene got more dynamic as they developed it

·       UI (user interface) compositions are always more complicated than they seem to be, and this episode had a lot of them.

·       This is Cinder’s last moment of getting way over her head and fighting recklessly

·       They wanted to make clear that Penny will beat Cinder by doing something only Penny could do (super charge her lasers) since she is a robot. At the end of the season, Penny does not have this advantage

·       The way Cinder gets hit by Penny’s blast is a reference to how Cinder looked when she gets shocked with a shock color in the next episode (Cinder flashback)

·       This is the episode where Penny becomes a full person

·       Pietro remoting into Penny the previous episode was to show how often Penny does not have her own autonomy, something which will later change

·       The message showcases how many lives the heroes have touched and everywhere they have been because there is the opportunity for so many cameos

·       Watts is furious Ironwood chose Pietro over him, but he still cannot figure out what makes Penny herself (her soul)

·       The Grimm river was originally a much bigger part of the story

Chapter 6

Featuring Kerry, Miles, and Paula

·       Originally most of this episode was written for chapter 1

·       We were originally supposed to see this in V5, but it kept getting pushed

·       It was also an expensive episode to make since it had so many unique assets

·       This episode was to make you almost feel bad, but not sympathize with her too much

·       Cinder’s story is about flawed characters and a broken system

·       Every time Miles looks at Rhodes he sees Locus from RvB

·       They wanted to present the idea that even when Cinder is working under someone, it’s always temporary. She will always want to be on top.

·       They always knew this would be Cinder’s volume, but they had to figure out what she would do after Amity. But they figured out a way for Salem to keep Cinder in play

·       Cinder doesn’t yet have the strategic mindset with how to treat her underlings, unlike Salem who treats each one differently

·       Oscar/Oz/Hazel stuff was meticulously plotted out. The scene with Hazel was the most rewritten for this chapter

·       Originally they were going to show what was on Tyrian’s scroll during the scene where he is with Salem (joke about it having too many eggplant emojis)

·       This episode has the least amount of the main characters

 Chapter 7

Featuring Kerry, Kiersi, Miles, and Connor

·       The intro of the episode was inspired by Lord of the Rings

·       A character in the park wearing a hat is modeled after the producer

·       Its more costly to do more medium level action shots than it is to do a few crazy shots

·       They needed Emerald to see Salem being the Queen of death and destruction as she was drawing the grimm goo out of Monstra

·       They tried to have Ozpin get through to Hazel by manipulating him. So when Oz is in control the camera is moving around a lot. Whereas with Oscar he is straightforward, so the camera is still

·       At the Schnee Manor, they wanted to give the scene a different feel than usual. They wanted it to feel warmer so the fireplace is on.

·       The season takes place over 2.5 or 3 days

·       Kerry grapples with Ruby’s team drinking tea while there is chaos outside, but he also says they need a moment to rest while they think their friend is dying. As well as they don’t know where everyone else is, so they figure the Manor is a good place to wait for them.

·       Miles says its canon that Mercury only has 4 of the same outfit

·       Tyrian has issues, but is also extremely observant and is the only one that can actually see what is happening and is totally on board

·       Joke about Tyrian and Mercury buddy cop spinoff

·       This new aspect of Ren’s semblance needed to first appear at a moment of clarity

·       Kiersi now calls his semblance the vibe check

·       The scene where Klein returns originally was going to start up in Weiss’s room

·       Penny showi

·       ng up at the end was not her just crash landing there. But she was actively fighting off the virus as has been crashing into things

Chapter 8

Featuring Kerry, Miles, and Dustin

·       They wanted one episode just in the manor, and decided to make it a horror episode

·       Miles says he was inspired by Resident Evil when writing this

·       Miles says it was a justified piece of criticism that Blake and Ruby didn’t get a lot of screentime together

·       Some scenes also took inspiration from Jurassic Park (says this around when we get the scene with Ruby and Blake as well as Whitley on the computer)

·       The Cenituar was supposed to show up in V7C3 during the speed semblance comparison. Centinels would ‘evolve’ into Cenituars if you don’t take them out fast enough.

·       Miles compares the Hound to a Xenomorph

·       Throughout the episode the green on everyone’s clothes (Penny’s robot blood) gets dimmer as time goes on. If it was always super green they were worried it would be too distracting.

·       Originally the armor statue that fell on the Hound was going to be made of stone, but they wanted the pieces to fall apart so they changed it to be a suit of armor.

Chapter 9

Featuring Kerry, Eddy, and Paula

·       This was Eddy’s most anticipated episode besides the finale

·       Oz being back was not just some magic ticket to all their issues

·       There was an intention to show more of team FNKI. The Salem fight took priority.

·       There is a parallel between Hazel and Marrow, who are both questioning their loyalty and what their next move should be.

·       Jinn knows that Neo is in the room with Hazel, Oscar, and Emerald. Which is why she is taunting them with the line, “so you don’t have any questions for me?”

·       Jaune does a lot of growing this volume, as commented on by Ren (On how genuine Jaune’s courage is)

·       Salem realizing the lamp was missing and gliding away was a reference to the Yubaba glide from Spirited Away.

·       The alarm was raised because of the Seer. And it covered the alarm of Neo taking the lamp. These scenes were put back to back so it would be ambiguous as to what set off the alarm.

·       Marrow saying “Come on, Juan” was at one point going to be “Come on, Jim”. But that got confusing as to if it was referring to Ironwood.

·       Eddy referred to the payload (giant bomb) as Chekhov’s nuke

·       Winter being kind to Marrow delays his change of mind for a few episodes

·       Salem goes so hard at Emerald because Emerald’s semblance actually fooled her

·       There was going to be a moment where Yang hits Salem with her semblance activated and it does nothing

·       Hazel knows he will not win this fight again Salem, so he overdoses to do as much damage as he can and bide some time.

·       The shot where Hazel moves his fists to create fire was a reference to Henry Cavill in a mission impossible movie (bathroom scene)

Chapter 10

Kerry, Miles, Kiersi, and Connor

·       Reiterated that this is Cinder’s volume, and that includes her getting told off

·       Watts isn’t known for his physical strength- he is known for his mind and his mouth. So the scene where Cinder was about to kill him required him to go all out with his skills.

·       Originally Watts was going to be swearing a lot when he was telling off Cinder. It felt like what he would actually say, but they couldn’t do it

·       Blake calling Yang was originally after the scene where the Ace Ops recovered from the explosion. Neo skipping through the haze was going to be a transition to this scene.

·       It was difficult in the script to decide on how nice the team could be to Emerald, since at this point they are not supposed to be friends.

·       At one point in the script the gang at the mansion was going through the tunnels in the subway to get to the kids at the Monstra site and would have to push through crowds of evacuating people. It was too much to do, and was deemed unnecessary

·       Ironwood this volume is a reference to Michael Shannon in the Shape of Water. Desperate, angry man. Watching control slip out of his hands

·       It took them a while to figure out how Neo would present some much information, including Jinn’s name. And figuring out they could have her use a scroll was what worked best.

Chapter 11

Featuring Kiersi, Eddy, Miles, and Paula

·       All Miles sees when he looks at Winter is Mass Effect

·       The scene where RWBY + Oscar + Emerald are in the manor was trying to show each of the girl’s regressing a bit (Weiss is snarky, Yang is aggressive, Blake is closed off)

·       While Oscar, due to using a ton of magic previously, he is adapting a lot more of Oz’s mannerisms

·       Originally at that scene in the end they were going to pause at the door and Emerald was going to go “nice mansion by the way” and Weiss was going to reply “shut up”. To reinforce that they aren’t yet friends

·       This episode brings together many threads , some of which were volumes in the making

·       Nora getting her own journey in this volume and the last was super important to the writers

·       This episode had many drafts- it was way too long at first

·       They laugh about how Robyn is basically a “replacement birb sister”.  Paula says Robyn has seen what Qrow is going through before (getting disillusioned), perhaps with herself.

·       Yang crying in this chapter reminded Paula of the end of V3 where Yang was wallowing in her room after losing her arm. This is the reverse of that. Yang tries to joke at first but Ruby pushes her away.

·       Yang feels guilty with how she talked to Ruby in chapter 1

·       Paula thinks that had Penny not died at the end of the season, her and Nora would have been really good friends

·       In this episode they wanted to give Penny a hopeful moment before more bad things happen

·       Emerald swearing in this episode had Miles chanting “villains get to swear!”

·       In the scene where Oz finally talks to the team once again, they made sure to have Emerald in the shot a lot, since both Oz and Emerald are seeking apologies. They’re not quite part of the group yet.

·       Eddy loves the friendship name “Emerald City”

Chapter 12

Featuring Kerry, Eddy, and Dustin

·       This was one of the more difficult episodes to outline and write since so much had to happen and happen at different times

·       This is one of the most eventful episodes, and was very challenging to direct

·       They wanted the team (ORNJ) to have a victory after getting dunked on by Neo in V7, so Ironwood lost

·       Not a lot is written out in the script for fight scenes, so it is more about feeling when deciding on the final choreography

·       The Marrow and Winter talking scene was moved around a lot

·       The scene where the rules for the staff were laid out was tricky because there was so much that needed to be explained, while also not explicitly stating the plan

·       Ambrosius was known in the writer’s room as Merlin Daddy. However, he is not directly based off of Merlin. He was given that name because he is smart. Though at one point he was bearded and burly.

·       Initially they did not know if every relic would contain a character in it

·       When first writing the volume they did not know how they were going to use the staff

·       They wanted to do something similar to the last relic chamber, but since a lot of time would be spent in this one, they made this one simpler (less distortion)

·       Ambro does some finger-tutting, which is dancing using intricate finger movements. They wanted him to be super into making things. The way Ruby cheats by being what she wants with Ambro works because she already cheated once with Jinn (I think this was in reference to how she was able to get him to fix Penny)

·       Ship of Thesus Penny was mentioned, and how many viewers picked that up once the episode aired

·       Eddy mentions how he made a mini-bible for Volume 9 (in reference to how things are mapped out)

·       Penny hugging everyone was one of Kerry’s favorite scenes ever

·       At different points throughout the volume, the episode directors asked how brutal they could make certain moments

·       Initially Fiona’s semblance was going to give the team the idea for the walkways, but because Fiona was later not going to be in the same space as these characters, it needed to be changed

·       They initially pictured the walkway area as a Rainbow Road/Bifrost looking place

Chapter 13

Featuring Kerry, Kiersi, Eddy, Miles, and Connor

·       Miles loves the moment of Jaune getting hit by a rock

·       Kerry was worried about how showing Penny’s feet would be perceived

·       Miles was worried about people thinking that Watt’s verbal takedown of Cinder would lead to her having a change of heart. But nope, she hasn’t changed at all.

·       Eddy says they struggled a lot with landing Cinder’s plan and her taking swift action. They decided that her using the lamp selfishly made sense.

·       Marrow’s semblance takes a lot of out him, so when a robot hit hits and explodes, it’s enough to knock out his aura

·       It was never specified in the show who opened Ironwood’s prison cell, but Eddy confirms it was Watts who did it

·       They talked about the order of who was going to fall a lot. Yang ended up being the first one since it felt like a signoff due to her getting a lot of focus this volume. They only wanted one character to fall in this episode.

·       Weiss quietly holds her own now in this final fight, showcasing how much she has grown since the beginning

·       Vine and Harriet may seem like opposites, but Vine is sometimes the only one that can see to the core of something

·       They planned Qrow flying through a window to get to Harriet very early in the volume

·       The way Ironwood comes down the vault’s elevator was meant to call back to how Oscar went down it last volume

Chapter 14

Featuring Kerry, Miles, Kiersi, and Eddy

·       Eddy comments on how viewers were saying that Clover has a very similar semblance to Qrow’s, and it’s all about perspective. Having Qrow able to make this positive change was nice

·       Harriet is not a bad person, and the way that the rest of the Ace Ops were able to understand that she was in a bad place says a lot about how much they are grown since they were introduced.

·       The Ace Ops have also gone through trauma like team RWBY but have gotten no support to deal with it, which makes them do some not so great things

·       They decided to kick Blake and Ruby off the platforms at the same time to make it as shocking as possible, since they figured the audience would realize everyone was going to go down by then

·       There were many small, quiet moments for Jaune that shows he is willing to do the hard thing since he still has a job to do. And that carried through to the ultimate moment with him and Penny

·       Eddy added Jaune’s sword breaking while writing the episode- it wasn’t planned beforehand

·       Cinder originally had a line where she was like “peace out Jaune” before sending him off

·       The scene where Cinder goes to the vault was rearranged a lot

·       When planning the last three episodes, Kiersi had to start a graphical timeline to figure out where all the characters were at all times

·       A pre-season 1 idea was when the bad guys get everything they need from Atlas, they will walk past Ironwood and will not give him the time of day.

·       Atlas was called Chekov’s floating city

·       Originally Miles and Kerry thought that this Atlas arc was going to be season 3

·       Before volume 7 was started, this volume was going to be V7. But then when they started outlining V7 they realized that wouldn’t be possible

Untitled Wednesday Library Series, Part 45

Now that I’ve staked out some blessed free time, I’m working on both the Albers and (more immediately) the Malevich I mentioned a couple posts back. I do, though, need a little more time. To that end, here’s the Fritz Kahn’s 1943 Man in Structure and Function (translated from the 1939 Der Mensch Gesund und Krank, a title I like less, by Dr. George Rosen).

In particular this is from the February 1946 third printing of the first edition, complete with barely palpable and nigh invisible embossing. Points against the necessity for flash to picture it.

The Text, the Object, etc.

I’m breaking with format here because otherwise I’d talk forever. Not sure who actually reads what I write in these, but in this case the pictures really are the post. Fritz Kahn was maybe the educational illustrator; the modern infographic and textbook illustration both owe huge amounts to him. His work was more in information architecture than data visualization, but it seems he did a little of everything anyway.

His biography and publication history are a little too tangled for me to confidently summarize here. Note, at least, that this book was written in Paris after he fled Germany in ‘37, was initially published in Switzerland, and only got an English translation (along with a couple other works, notably The Cell and Our Sex Life, all subject to significant alteration or destruction in their contemporary German editions) after he eventually secured residency in the US in ‘41.

Beautiful work here, if a little quaint in places. The integration of illustration with text is impressive, and the metaphors are uniformly robust. Calling the whole ‘accessible’ isn’t a cop-out; it’s the point. Plenty of the choices here persist in current biology/physiology/anatomy/chemistry texts. It is a little ra ra ‘industry and efficiency and mechanism-character of biology’ — the guy did make Der Mensh als Industriepalast — but zeitgeist or whatever. Weimar type shit. I’m soft on that, a little.

But anyway, observe ye Man Healthy and Sick as writ in bread and radishes and battles and tubes with feet. ‘Such is science’.

notes:

* these kanji are the logographic used for the title on their respective card. i understand this is logical given CSS is a japanese work. however, the character in the story that created the cards is chinese and the cards themselves are based on daoist concepts. for this reason i did my best to translate them as this is a list of the chinese names that would be (in my opinion) the cards “true” names. the rest of the infographics are mutually understandable between chinese and japanese kanji. 

not listed by hierarchy, just sorted alphabetically for easier navigation.

i’m not a native speaker. i’m at a hsk 2 level at best, so feel free to correct me if there’s any mistakes.
