people are getting mad about a contemporary art thing again so naturally I had to check it out and see if it's as empty, stupid, and pretentious as everyone is saying.

turns out Roman Signer is a down to earth dude with a sense of humour who doesn't take himself too seriously, which was exactly the vibe I was getting from his works.

"falling buckets of sand gee how original, so I guess I was making "art" all the time as a kid then 🙄" yes actually, according to Signer's own philosophy kids are making art all the time and not thinking of it as art. you can disagree with this mindset, but he does not strike me as a man who'd be in any way bothered by someone saying "I can do that myself" and then doing it themself. he strikes me as someone who would in fact encourage doing it yourself, because it's fun.

if he was a pretentious guy in his 20s claiming his pieces are so profound they can only be understood by the elite, sure I'd be annoyed. but he's just a funny lil old Swiss man who does funny and absurd little experiments and encourages you to laugh at them. I can't be mad at that. it's fun and way more accessible than people seem to think.

Day 29, one of my favorites from the month- what do you mean they are getting a dlc and they're called "The Watcher." What do you mean I was supposed to draw something about that. I was doing these early help.

What do they say in y'all school for those lockdown drills ?

Dave K on David Young and the Netsilik Shaman

"And it was really important that that scene was not about the shaman being terrifying. Young’s reaction was terrified but we wanted to make sure we didn’t shoot the shaman as a terrifying figure...

...exactly like what we were trying to avoid, which is, 'oh shit, that is a scary figure'...

...this is not about the shaman being a terrifying horror trope, this is about a young man having learned that Inuit people are savages, and it’s so important to have a different energy on the reverse angles, and we only get that if the shaman himself is a curious, neutral presence."

WOOOOO ITS FINALLY HERE

Day 1 was “First Encounter.” So naturally I went AAAAALLL the way back to Terios’ days as part of the Black Arms (in more ways than just blood.) He’s trying to focus on a mission here, what’s this bat even doing? Has she been watching?! What does she want?! She had better not get in the way of the search….

…It’s side quest time isn’t it.

The many Anagrams of Radagon

Because I found an anagram generator and felt like applying a little confirmation bias to the results, for fun:

"Adan Gor" - Adan, Thief of Fire is a character in Elden Ring. "Gor" is a dialectical oath variant of "god", with well known uses including Moby Dick ("And, by Gor, none of you has de right to dat whale"). Gor is also Old English meaning "dung". Seems like Adan and Dungeater worship the same sun god.

"a dog ran" "a god ran" - the dog part is self explanatory as Radagon is described as a leal hound and here we see that Radagon was a dog god who fled.

"rand oga" - "rand" and "oga" are both Old English/proto-Germanic meaning altogether "on the edge of terror". As blacksmith Hewg says of Marika (who is Radagon): "The sheer terror of her…". In the deep FromSoft history, there was once a minor miner NPC character in King's Field (1994) called "Rand Ferrer" whose name means "on the edge of a blacksmith".

"A Dragon" - I think that the Elden Beast is a fine example of a sparkle dragon. The dragon is also a symbol of the never-ending cycle of alchemy, as both prime materia and the end product. The dragon is endlessly splitting into brother and sister parts and recombining into the divine hermaphrodite - so says Carl Jung in CW12 "Psychology and Alchemy". And the connection that I make personally is that the red-haired Rand al'Thor as the 'Dragon Reborn' is the main character of the Wheel of Time books (1990-2013), whose name means "on the edge of a god" because that's really just his whole character arc in a nutshell. Two of the most significant supporting characters are a blacksmith named for the blacksmith god Perrun and an Odin-expy trickster. See above usage of 'Rand Ferrer''.

"naga d'or" - "naga" is Hindu meaning "a member of a race of spirits recognized in Hinduism and Buddhism that have mingled superhuman and serpent qualities, are genii of waters and rain, and live in a subaqueous kingdom", and "d'or" is French meaning "of gold". Elden Beast seems to exist in a plane of endless water and is a creature of the Golden Elden Ring. Though it is tempting to guess that this might be a DLC payoff one.

"Ra Dagon" - "Ra" Egyptian god of the sun and "Dagon" the principal deity of the ancient Middle Euphrates region. Also the Lovecraftian Dagon fish god thing.

"Ra Gonad" - Ra is god of all of the sky (and earth and underworld), not just the sun. Venus was born of the testicles of Uranus - god of the sky - thrown into the sea. The second phase of Malenia's fight is styled as an allusion to Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus". So technically this one can work with Radagon as a link between his own father the old god of the sky and/or sun and his daughter Malenia.

"Agro DNA" - from the slang term "agro" meaning "aggressive". Perhaps that Radagon has an aggressive nature in his genes. He is something of a Beast.

"And Agro" - as in "Radagon and Agro" - the name of the horse from the Shadow of the Colossus (2005). Elden Ring similarly has the player form an attachment to horse. Notably, The Shadow of the Colossus was directly cited as an inspiration for Elden Ring. Perhaps even a challenge to it - that game has an inevitable grim conclusion at the end, where as Elden Ring lets the player choose wrong 5 out of 6 times, but there is still the 6th more hopeful choice once you learn to read developer intent. Also, Elden Ring has 15 Remembrance Bosses in base game, which is one short of the 16 Colossi in SotC.

"Argo DNA" - Argo was the ship sailed by Jason to find the Golden Fleece. Note the golden sheep in the Altus Plateau area of Elden Ring. It is also the name of a gigantic constellation that was split into three parts in the modern day - thus Radagon's lineage is found in the stars. Afterall "It is said that long ago, the Greater Will sent a golden star bearing a beast into the Lands Between, which would later become the Elden Ring".

"Ag Ra don" "Ag adorn" - "Ag" is chemical short form for Silver, so "Ra dressed in silver", I suppose. More alchemy stuff. One might recall that "Radagon" seems not to have been needed as an entity until going to Liurnia to confront a house of the moon (traditionally associated with silver). Also "Ag" derives from the French "Argent" and another major use of French that I've noted is in the name of "Seluvis" forming "se lu vis" meaning (probably with broken grammar) "To read one's own face".

"Argon AD" - "In the Year of our Lord, 18" - Argon was isolated in 1894 by William Ramsay ("Will I Am, Ram Say" - see Golden fleece above). It is element 18 on the periodic table and has a lavender/violet glow when placed in an electrical field, evocative of the visual used for gravity magic. Notable event in the year 18: "Winter – Germanicus Caesar arrives in Syria, as new commander-in-chief for the Roman East." I'm going to pull on Gideon Ofnir for this one, as he is partly named for the Germanic god Odin and also his intro screen echoes the opening of the Shakespeare play Julius Caesar: "lend me your ears, I come to bury Caesar".

"ad argon" - "Ad" is a Latin modifier as in the case of "ad absurdum" or "to the point of absurdity" and etc (much like this post!). "Argon" is a Greek word meaning "lazy" or "inactive". Overall perhaps stretches to "to the point of stagnation"

Edit: found another one. "D Aragon" - could be spun into character 'D, Hunter of Death' based on 'Dominican' (i.e. 'D') 'Nicholas Eymericus', who was the Inquisitor General of Aragon and in 1376 associated Alchemists with Magicians "because they cannot possibly achieve their aims without the assistance of demons". Also wrote a book about hunting witches. With this in mind, it also seems likely that Recusant Henricus is based on Heinrich Kramer, author of the Malleus Maleficarum (1486). Since he has the hammer talisman and the text is called "The Hammer of Witches".

Edit again: two more that came up in looking at Tolkein connections. And another from a recent discussion.

"Argon Da" - Argon is an obscure semi-canon character in Tolkein's Legendarium but his father is Fingolfin who is known for wielding an icy sword called "Ringil" that he used to cut Morgoth's foot and cause him to be lamed (many characters in Elden Ring with this condition). Ringil is also the name of a mountain stream in the area called "Taur-en-Faroth", as in Fort Faroth where Radagon's soreseals is found.

"A Narog D" - the complement to Aragon D. The River Narog also passes through Taur-en-Faroth from its uphill origin point at the Pools of Ivrin and past the secret underground city of Nargothrond. The Narog D would be D, Beholder of Death, who is found at the underground city of Nokron.

"a Do rang" - FromSoft has a recurring thing about bells. "do" is a syllable used in the Solmization music scale: do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti. After "ti" the scale wraps back to "do" again for a full octave. So the "do" rings at the beginning and end, at the start and at the eighth note. Hints to Radagon's involvement with the 4 Belfries and the Mausoleum bells, at the eigth era corresponding to the octave.

"a grand O" - oh Elden Ring

Feel free to reblog for larger sample size, because this can only get exponentially funnier the more results it gets while simultaneously utterly straining my bromance of many years.

[nightshadeowl]

Zircon really is funny. They were 100% certain of how I'd answer that poll (and they were right). And they have completely different reasoning, of course. I have no idea how they are at gambling but I'd bet my bottom dollar they could win by charm

What do you think how long does it take till the BL/GL/QL industry discovers the secret monsterfuckerlover subgenre after they dug up mpreg and abo recently?
