vienna secession

The Vienna Secession was an art movement founded in 1897 by a group of Austrian artists, including Gustav Klimt, Josef Hoffmann, and Koloman Moser, among others. They aimed to break away from traditional academic art and established their own exhibition space known as the Secession Building. The movement embraced a variety of styles, from Symbolism to Art Nouveau, and played a pivotal role in the development of modern art and design in Austria. The Secessionists prioritized artistic freedom and innovation, often incorporating decorative and symbolic elements into their works.

Exploring the Power of Symbolism in Writing

Writing is a craft where every word, every sentence, and every detail serves a purpose. It’s a canvas upon which authors paint their stories, and, sometimes, the paint they use is not just the ink on the page, but symbols that convey deeper meanings. Symbolism in writing adds complexity and depth, transforming a simple narrative into a profound, thought-provoking experience. In this exploration…

Simple:D32lkumiol0= Tattoo Ideas: Beautiful Designs That Speak Volume

Simple tattoo ideas are perfect for those who appreciate minimalism and want to carry meaningful symbols with subtle elegance. Small, uncomplicated tattoos can speak volumes without overwhelming your skin, making them versatile for all areas of the body—from wrists and fingers to ankles and collarbones.

One of the most popular themes for simple tattoos is nature-inspired designs. Minimalist representations of leaves, mountains, or waves connect us to the beauty of the natural world while adding a touch of personal significance. Geometric shapes like triangles, circles, or lines are also timeless and often represent concepts like balance, harmony, and growth.

Symbolic elements such as arrows, hearts, or anchors are great for expressing specific values in a way that’s both powerful and understated. Single words or short phrases in elegant fonts are also a popular choice, often conveying personal mottos or reminders of loved ones.

The beauty of simple tattoos lies in their versatility—they suit anyone and can fit almost any part of the body. Whether it's a symbol that represents a journey, an abstract shape, or a natural element, simple tattoo designs make for a chic and lasting statement.

had the idea of adding the glyphs from the owl house onto my denim jacket so I taught myself embroidery and did this as a first project!

here's hoping I'm not gonna randomly glow/freeze/burn alive/have a plant grow out of my shoulder I guess?

Close-ups, pic in sunlight (showing the proper colours), and fire glyph progress pics under the cut I swear I also took progress pics of the other glyphs but I can't find them rn

they're all about 5 cm in diameter and I personally think the ice glyph came out a little wobbly but it was my first embroidery ever and the fabric on that part of the jacket is also a little wobbly so I'm happy with the result

the lovely yellow lighting in my room is biting me in the ass rn bc the yellow and green are a lot lighter irl and the blue and red are a bit more vibrant

here's a photo I took in the sun that captures the colours better!

the fire glyph was the last one! I believe there were like two and a half months between finishing the third glyph and starting this one oops (but also yay bc the weather was amazing this weekend so I did a large chunk of the fire glyph while sitting in the sun!)

and a picture of the shoulder while I'm wearing the jacket! though normally the position of the fire glyph falls a little less front-facing (which is great irl bc that way it looks more interesting from the side and back instead of just from the front)

What if I said that my theory is that in the movie Touga actually stands for Utena's own self and princely persona from the anime that "died" when she was hit by the Swords. What then.

i can't just emphasize how important stella is as a friend for both jentry and michael. she is the "earth" to jentry's "fire" and to michael's "water"—sharing both of their traits while also having distinct ones of her own that is able to balance out the both of them at once.

even her "powers" being the only one not revolving around supernatural abilities go along with her as the "earth" that they both need to be stable. she represents the "normalcy" that the both of are able to get & feel despite their connections to the supernatural. she's sympathetic enough to get to the both of them but also can act as the voice of reason and an organizer to keep them both grounded.

in a sense, her pushing michael to a future that many others defined for him contributes to her as a symbol for "normalcy" because of how that's reflective of the negativity that comes with social norms, and how in the context of michael's story that was what "normal" meant to him.

jentry & stella becoming friends while one of them has a crush on the other's former partner subvert social expectations about how you should go about and feel about those scenarios. jentry reaches out to stella for her to organize and process the thoughts she has, then for some moments they bond while jentry is able to forget about what being "normal" is like without powers for some time.

without her, the two of them (especially jentry) would have a harder time to define what being normal means to themselves due to the lack of having moments that don't involve the supernatural or constant self-doubt and mourning. she helps them break down social norms as an attempt to gain control over their lives through positive (jentry & stella) and negative (michael & stella) relations.

i'm sure the writers internalized stella's importance. although that plan for her importance was not fully delivered to the audience because stella definitely could use some more depth to her character and her importance is brushed aside at various points of the story, but the potential in the dynamic between jentry/stella/michael and what stella means for the both of them is soooo interesting to me. especially because the show definitely needed an "earth" character— someone who represents normalcy after michael as a symbol for jentry's story has a shift & someone who is able to keep them grounded after the supernatural becomes intertwined in the both of their stories

Controversial opinion: Vox's design sucks

...

Because he should be wearing a NORMAL TIE. not a BOWTIE. It would:

Add to his businessman persona

Give a place for that wifi symbol to go that isn't awkward

Be a good opposing design to Alastor's bowtie

Potentially give the idea he's moved away (or attempting to) from Alastor. Especially if they had it that Vox USED to wear a bowtie.

Also, we joke about it but seriously, why does everyone have a bowtie when it doesn't make sense for some characters like Husk--

I rest my case your honors.

...

Rebuttle:

Vox having the bowtie could signify him latching onto his past with Alastor and not being able to move on
