A look into the Spring 2024 Art Thesis Exhibition

Historically, the Art program hosts an opening reception for their yearly, and occasionally semesterly, Art Thesis Exhibitions. This Spring, thesis students Annie Dong, Lianna McDonald and Cindy Xin Zhang showcase their work centering their Chinese identities. “Finding Vitality” consists of varying mediums, such as bookmaking, murals and traditional painting to exemplify themes of belonging,…

“Your brother is adorable.” The cashier cooed at Danny, peering over the counter with a smile. “What’s his name?”

Danny looked down to the surly, scowling little de-aged Batman currently holding onto his hand, glaring up at the cashier with bright blue eyes.

Things had already been bad enough when he’d gotten caught in a fight in Gotham, but things went from bad to worse when a magician had hit Batman with a de-aging spell and then shoved them through a portal.

Into a different fucking dimension.

Because of course neither of their lives could be easy. And now the two of them were stuck in Iowa in the middle of nowhere, at a truck stop gas station, trying to go on a cross-country roadtrip to reach the nearest hero city and get home.

He looked up and smiled awkwardly, trying to come up with a name off the top of his head — one of the heroes called Batman ‘B’ when he got hit right? B for Batman, right. B… B… Bee… Bees.

“Buzz.” He said, and tried not to grimace as the cashier’s face warped with surprise. “Like the astronaut.”

This was gonna be a long trip.

What would Peri’s power level be if he didn’t have his inhibitor/stabilizer wand and just went apeshit?

While Cosmo deals with too much magic in his body, Peri suffers from a slightly different issue. Cosmo has the greatest amount of magic in Fairy World. Peri is incapable of regulating his magic.

Peri cannot, not then as a child and not now in the present, control his magic. Without his inhibitor, he can easily destroy an entire realm- just as he nearly destroyed Earth as a baby. This fact has not changed, although it is less plausible today than back then.

Peri's taken extra measures in the present-day to ensure it cannot happen.

You don't need to believe that people as a whole are good or well-intentioned to be an optimist about fixing climate change.

A lot of the time, it's enough to trust in this: people hate being screwed over. And even more than that, they hate feeling screwed over.

Climate change is actively screwing over almost every single person on this planet, whether they know it or not. We just need to keep making sure that people do know that they're getting screwed over, along with all their loved ones, and who's doing it.

Spite and righteous anger will honestly do a lot of the rest.

Quackity: These past days I've been in many calls, and I'm not done yet. I've spoken to a lot of people and creators. I've read your comments and I'm well aware of what needs to be done to carry out this project. I want to tell you all, beforehand, that for me the team's well-being is fundamental. I'm very involved in this topic to sort it out and I want to make that very clear. I want to tell you something... I want to tell you all that the administrative staff responsible for so much harm to the project has been fired. Specifically, those who made decisions without my permission, affecting the administrative and financial area of the project. Consequently, after this, I was in charge of doing a financial analysis that's carrying out for the QSMP.

Guys, to be really honest, it was not going to last. Therefore, I've had to make deep drastic structural changes that have lead me to reduce the performance of the server down to the most essential, and this is in order to ensure the well being of everyone involved in it. Having said this, I want to give a very important update: I want to let you all know that the QSMP will have to slow down temporarily. This is to ensure this new structure adapts to the project, because it's a restructuring that's taking place. I'm letting you know, and I reiterate, there are no voluntary positions inside the QSMP.

At the moment, there will not be any more individual update accounts of all 5 existing languages in the project. In any case, during this transition, there's going to be a temporal absence of all Eggs and NPCs. I know these are difficult changes, and I repeat, it's temporary until we adjust to these new conditions that will improve the performance of this new structure that's being made from scratch, both in the administrative and financial part. I'd like to reintegrate people fro the QSMP as time goes by if a financial viability can be found for the project Taking advantage of this update to tell you guys that within the changes of the server as it is, creators will have full control of their lore and stories. The team will not intervene in the way that it was being done. Moreover, efforts will be made to change the competitive dynamics inside the game so as to ease up the game style for the creators. Like I'm saying, all of these changes, and more, are being carrying out to have the project as best as possible, and they're being done little by little. This is a whole new structure that will ensure the best continuity and experience for the creators, the community and the team behind.

Guys, I want to make very clear that this is restructuring process, and again, it's not a fast one. The server being open does not mean everything's perfect, I understand that very well. Conversations will keep taking place, communication will continue and the constant improvement of the project as well. I ask, please, for everyone's patience and understanding regarding all changes. Please do wait for official announcements since a lot of incomplete and incorrect information is being spread. I want to tell you all something- if you don't trust in these changes or have many doubts about it, and don't want to consume any more of the project's content, I understand 100%. I have a personal commitment with the QSMP and I will work until it functions in the way it is supposed to do.

Lastly, I want to let you know that it was being worked on for months on finalizing the integration of Korean creators to the QSMP. For that reason, tomorrow we will be welcoming the new Korean creators of the QSMP, of course, taking into account all the changes I've just mentioned. I hope you can give the new Korean members warm welcome to the project. And as you know, their schedules are earlier. For everyone who would like to watch, they will be joining at 11am Mexico time and at 9am US time. Basically, I wanted to give that update regarding everything that's being done within the project. Again, thank you for your patience and understanding- these are necessary changes and I'm glad they're being done now. And many more things will keep being adjusted.

Revisiting POLARITY in light of the upcoming student thesis exhibition

The New College community anticipates the Art program’s thesis exhibition each academic year, this semester being no different. With the “Finding Vitality” thesis exhibition coming to the Isermann Gallery on the Caples campus from April 18 to May 10, the Catalyst offers a retroactive look into last fall’s thesis exhibition, “Polarity.” “‘PO L  A   R    I      T       Y’ explores the dichotomy…

I don't have the proper words to like describe it aptly, but the song 'same train home', despite it coming right after a gruesome tragedy, is just so fuckin soft and warm and comforting and not just in the 🎶"Oh let them stare in judgment, let them witness this/ Swan leans into Mercy, pulls her deep into a kiss" 🎶 sense (though I will argue that section is one of the best written parts of Warriors). I mean it in the sense of the train being the only constant among the lives of new yorkers in the story and how both the warriors and us, the audience, enjoy brief respites in it. I dunno how to fuckin describe really I'm at a loss now, but I like the brief comfort everyone involved takes in it as both the audience and the characters near the end of the story. oh and it also does help that the song is like genuinely fuckin beautiful

I haven’t actually gotten to the seraphim yet but I’m already desperate for a fic where the Strawhats rescue (kidnap, steal, same thing) them and give the kids a chance to actually be kids, which results in Mihawk rolling up one day to see Roronoa Zoro walking around with a little baby…. Him. Just kinda propped on his hip.

And Mihawk is like “Who and also how and also why.”

And Zoro’s like “Yeah the little man has separation anxiety, he’s had a rough time.”

And Mihawk is like “That was. Very not an answer to any of my questions.”

“The other kids went with the rest of the crew to explore the town but Eyas and Little Bear don’t like crowds.”

“… You call him Eyas? Who is Little Bear?”

And S-Bear just pokes his big ass head out of the pillow fort the kids built against the railing like “Hi.”
