i hope youre ok. youre my favorite author

Your favourite author? Dear goodness, I hope you know just how much that absolutely affected me - I feel like I've done so little writing for this fandom.

I'm holding in there! It's been a bit difficult to write recently; I've been writing a few things over on AO3 but haven't posted in a very long while. I need to get back to it.

”My biggest Achilles’ heel was that once I worked out something in my head, I didn’t even feel the necessity to make it. I always got off on ideas. And the thing about ideas is they’re uncompromised. So what’s been challenging to me is to try to function in the space of actualization, but with the same intent to be unconstrained.”

Arthur Jafa Talks 'Taxi Driver,' Being Called Anti-Black & Impostor Syndrome

[endlessandrea]

"There’s a thin line, I think, now, between adding to the general intellectual milieu of a show or of an event and being what Stefano sometimes calls a ‘content provider,’ where you are literally being, in a sort of sense, a set of ideas are being extracted from you in order to provide a kind of intellectual content maybe that the show would not or the art would not nearly have. And that’s an uncomfortable feeling. I can’t say that I’ve felt it a lot, but sometimes I’ve felt it and I don’t like it and I think it’s really problematic.

There’s a thin line between the providing of intellectual content and the conferral of a certain kind of monetary value. Somehow, you’re being asked to legitimize the artwork on a marketplace, and that I have no interest in doing whatsoever. I don’t begrudge artists their right to sell their work, but that’s just not my job, you know?

When I write about art, what I like to believe is that I’m involved in a collaborative process with the artist, even if I don’t necessarily talk to the artist. I’d like to think that I’m trying to think along with the artist and make something with the artist."

Nem is mi baszunk ki legjobban magunkkal! (Bár a taurangaiak nyilván a házárak miatt odaköltöző aucklandiakat hibáztatja - akik felverték az ő házaik árát is. Úgyhogy kurva anyját a sok jafa-nak, de azért párszázezer dollár equity gain miatt nem sírnak)

Not dead, I promise!

I finished the 52 Characters, 52 Weeks series over on AO3!

Still working on a handful of other fics, but if anyone has a suggestion or request for oneshots, I'd love to provide.

The Jacksons and the Lakelands!

I honestly did not realize until now how big and sometimes complicated the Lakelands family tree looked like

(and also obviously Magnus is Adam and Alex's half brother although they just call eachother sibilings since they don't care much about what the "correct" terminology is. They're just sibilings. Also not shown here but Martha did adopt Magnus but it's kinda of a given since she married Alexander)

(also pérola not pictured here but she is Magnus' cat child)

And yeah i changed so Seth doesn't have a known father. Was just a thing of one night.

In this episode we are talking about evolutions and permutations of classic Soveit-style montage. In particular we focus on Artavazd Peleshian's Montage-At-A-Distnace and John Akomfrah's notion of Affective Proximity. We break down Arthur Jafa's "Love Is The Message, The Message Is Death" and Solanas & Getino's "Hour of the Furnaces", two powerful montages that employ the principles we've discussed.

More screen grabs from Khalil’s work. I think his film, ‘Wildcat’, is best described as ‘visual poetry’. I’ll try and stop using that term now.  Another thing I thought that was interesting about his process, is that he doesn’t film with a narrative or planned shots in mind, it’s an intuitive process. He’ll often shoot a whole bunch of stuff, and then try and bring things together during the editing process.  Shorts on Sundays S1 Ep3: "Wildcat" by Kahlil Joseph https://youtu.be/xL05f3sKEPM Good Kid Mad City short film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fLKcHu-LJo&t=1s Shabazz Places - Black Up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUYaa7_Osik KENZO SS14 "Dawn in Luxor" by Kahlil Joseph https://youtu.be/VdXQmhrbuCY Kahlil Joseph & Arthur Jafa: In Conversation | Tate Talks https://youtu.be/otPECh1Q2xQ

Part 2 of Kevanru's Bio Family Roles

Go to part one

TL:DR: Kevanru got along with everyone. They were not expected or pressured to have babies but the more comfortable they got the more they warmed up to the idea. They just freakin’ loved being alive & loved being in a caring family. They had 2 children & were fine with being called a mother & wife, as these are more like roles in Kaleeshi society than tied specifically to being a woman. They did mostly mom role things but also some dad things the boys would talk to them about. You know, strictly boy business, no girls allowed.

Kevanru, being a very jubilant & enthusiastic person, did not have to do much in the way of convincing the other wives that they would fit in with the family. They were honored by the Khaganate’s acceptance & were honestly glad to be anywhere their miserable father was not. Kevanru was honestly the model Kaleeshi citizen. The strength & honor of a true warrior, hardworking, adaptable, & readily very social, excited to be part of a new family.

        They explained as well as they could to the others that they were non-binary not to exclude traits from one gender or the other but to include all of them. Everyone seemed to understand this pretty quickly. It took a little while for some more than other wives to completely stop accidentally using female pronouns just because 99% of the time wife was woman. Their vocabulary shifted almost without notice & eventually became more neutral in everything. As it turns out it is easier than meticulously gendering most words. Their children didn’t notice until they were older & got out of the house more.

        The only times this affected how they treated Kevanru was when something that was specifically a female situation arose, which was not often. In most cases family would pause & just ask how they felt about it, seeing as Kevanru was easy to talk to. Sometimes they wouldn’t know themselves & would have to think about it. The main two traditionally female things in Kaleeshi society were, of course, being a wife & being a mother. Kevanru was pretty good so far as wife duties went & so did not mind being labeled a wife. The others said they were their husband-wife, their wife capable of husband role things.

        Kevanru also didn’t mind helping to raise the children. In fact, they were pretty excited about it even before Taa’yn regaled them with the many benefits of being mom. Kevanru was not raised equal to their siblings or even to their sisters. They had worked very hard to be accepted as they were in their home village & it had never happened in their childhood. So, they did look forward to raising great kaleesh just by accepting & loving them unconditionally. When the first pups began to get old enough to differentiate all these moms, it was the other wives that encouraged them to call Kevanru Kiki’ja instead of the –ma suffix. It wound up they would be called any combination of the suffixes depending on who was calling them for what: Jama, Jamama, Jafa, Majafa (which would be like Momdad).

        As Kevanru became more comfortable with the family, they began questioning their sexuality. That wasn’t really something they had put a lot of thought into beforehand. Their new spouses did not put any expectations or pressure on them as far as having children went. They figured they had that covered with, y’know, the 9 other women. Jyada, being Jyada, inadvertently (or purposefully) took every chance to corrupt them, since Kevanru was more curious than anything else about it.

        They knew that wives were expected to bear their husband’s children but the way that they had learned this growing up always seemed…like it were a rule. Kevanru wasn’t sure how they felt about being exempt from what they were told was such an integral rule to being kaleeshi.This family was quite open about it & personal preferences about sex varied from wife to wife. Jyada certainly didn’t brag about it as if it were a rule. Grievous, unlike a few husband stereotypes, didn’t expect it but nor did he seem to like putting it on a schedule (which was expected with so many wives). Kevanru asked around about it.

The general consensus was that, cultural duty aside, Grievous was in this to surround himself with emotional support & his sex drive was for fun before purpose. As was not uncommon in some populations, it hadn’t occurred to Kevanru that you could just do that shit for fun & feel goods. They were already very comfortable with all of their spouses, so they then understood how that could be a natural progression. Their husband’s only concern was if they would be comfortable getting pregnant, bc birth control is morally & spiritually illegal on Kalee.

Kevanru put a lot of thought into this, as much thought as Kevanru puts into things. They decided they were okay with this. They had already given all they had as a warrior, so it only made sense to wholly experience being a mother as well. They had always loved their female body; it had been everyone else that had the problem. So hell yeah! Please imagine the hulking Kevanru, with stars in their big pastel eyes, whispering, “Our children could be the greatest warriors ever.” They bore 2 of their own children, ironically and/or awesomely, one boy & one girl.

Kevanru’s unflappable positivity really worked overtime in this family. Especially early on when Taa’yn passed away. Kevanru made sure the triplets were taken care of in the immediate fall out when it was hard for others to handle it. They were always happy to help & quick to hug. Everyone loved them. The children were always enamored with them. Even before Grievous was merc’d, the boys would go to them if they had felt they needed a dad conversation. It wasn’t usually anything troubling, since their family was as progressive as Kalee gets, but society was still so machismo.

When Grievous was exploded, Kevanru was essentially second husband. Well, Mertenzi kept the family running logistically, ever the captain of the ship. Kevanru kept everyone okay. Their last years, as with many Kaleesh warriors, were slow & painful. Their children took reverent care of them. They did a lot of thinking around then, as much as Kevanru did, & concluded Mertenzi was right. Maybe there was just as much glory in withering away surrounded by life you have given as there was being cut down in battle surrounded by lives you had taken.
