Sometimes you need a copy of what you're typing... so you break out the carbon paper.

JANUARY WIP👀

I'll keep making and making variations of this door until it turns out to be Hamlet.

I think this is the perfect set for january. It'll have the standard INTARSIA palette but I'll make a few "worn down" swatches as well.

I say this every summer but the kind of vacation I really yearn for is the one you read about in older novels or biographies where someone just rents out a place or stays at a hotel for the whole season. You just kind of live there for a while, write your book, try to overcome artist’s block, get involved in a risky spy story until it’s too late to disentangle yourself. Alain Delon is there

Thanks for clearing that up, Matt.

ooh why do you think ttpd (song) is about joe? it seems like a mix to me but mostly matty

because aside from the tattoos and the weed, we already know all of this about joe. i guess we don't know he uses a typwriter but i mean look at him.. "a tattooed golden retriever" is clearly the both of them mashed into one person. the song (like most songs on ttpd) was written about both of them, but that doesn't mean its not about joe. cause it's loud. these are the gods of his bluest days. this song is sparkly and whimsical and full of hope and optimism in trying to pull him out of his depression he is so dedicated to worshipping. this is renegade (sparkly version). it's renegade with taylor's hope and optimism. this song is why she stayed so long. they were fated, but she felt that was a call to grow and change and he felt like his depression had a mate/match. it was tragic!!

Thanks for tagging me @marley-manson!

Last song I listened to: We Don't Talk About Bruno from Encanto. Not because I actually listened to it recenty (not sure what song I actually last listened to tbh) but because at work yesterday there was this dog called Bruno (a frenchie, usually very cute) who would not stop mounting this other, very little yorkie, and so I was yelling 'BRUNO, NO!!" from across the yard a lot, which reminded me of the song. So then I was singing it to myself the rest of the work day lol.

Currently watching: I guess I'm watching the Dungeon Meshi anime as it comes out. Still prefer the manga, but overall it's a good adaptation! And it's satisfying finally seeing it blow up in popularity lol.

Currently obsessed with: Kind of been on a Sims 3 binge the last few days unfortunately. 'Unfortunately' because I do nothing else when this happens, I literally will play like.... 12 hours straight for several days unless I force myself not to hffhfh. Other than that Berserk and es21. I got the nicest most in depth comment on my fic the other day which motivated me to work on ch. 6 (on my fancy ~digital typwriter~ that I got from ebay last month lol). After this I'm putting my electronics in another room to keep temptation away while I try to get some writing done!

Thoughts on fakes being more real than the real thing?

so there's this idea right, from this guy called Baudrillard

no wait don't go

there's this idea from a guy called Jean Baudrillard, of the idea of the hyperreal. Hyperreality, as Big Bauds described it, simplified for handling, is the idea that we live in a world where people interpret signifiers and descriptors for things themselves. That is, that there's a consensus reality of things that exist, but thanks to hyprereality, we live instead surrounded not by real things but by their simulacra.

I wrote about this in the context of Ranma 1/2 a while back (x), but I summarise it as a retreating standard of realness; 'The thing, the representation of the thing, the infinitely reproduceable simulacrum of the thing.' A typwriter, an illustration of a typewriter, an infinitely reproduceable ad in dozens of magazines for that typewriter. The purchaser of that ad, the person who sends in their money is not buying the typwriter, they are buying the reproduced simulacra of the typwriter and you can observe strange tendencies that flow from that. How many people when you ask them about a thing they've purchased or watched or cared about, will quote you stats or taglines from the advertising, and then, if pressed, be unable to explain what they mean?

How many people do you know who love an anime, but when presented with the question of 'should I watch it' would not recommend it because they'd rather talk about the things the anime should have in it or would have in it, whether it's a focus on this minor character or more mecha battles or extensive sister-on-sister inappropriate cuddling?

If you extend this further into the realm of semiotics, you might notice that you tend to exist in a space where you don't engage with real things much at all; there are things at your fingertips, in your house, on your computer that exist, they absolutely do, and you may love them and want to engage with them but only when you do are they there, are they present and exist. There are board games in my collection that I think of fondly with a plan to play them, but I haven't. The game is a hyperreal thing to me at this point, a fantasy of its own significance.

And like, fake what? Fake images? Taylor Swift is already presenting fake images of herself to me all the time, and I'm actively trying to avoid them. Someone drawing her as a pool toy is projecting another, different fake image, but theirs is less authentic because there's no pretense that it's real. One of the fakest things about images and personas is the conception that being real is opposite to being fake, when every fake thing that exists is still real - it still exists. The persona of Taylor Swift is a thing we can all reference, we can all point to it, it doesn't stop being a signifier we can communicate about just because she so obviously is making shit up.

Anyway, maybe.

may i suggest two writing tools? the first one is the typwriter by huge labs https://writer.bighugelabs.com/

you can change the colors of it and font sizes and everything. also it has a cool typewriter noise thats kind of rewarding when you write :) tumblr can close on you at any time and this saves every single second

second is this white noise maker https://asoftmurmur.com/

you can create your own ambience from rainy cafe, to windy ocean waves, to a crackling fire while crickets call and others you can just mix and match. its pretty neat.

OH so reg text is mr. z’s essay about the navidson records, and typwriter text is johnny truant’s comments on mr. z’s essay. this is johnny’s breakdown of zampanó’s breakdown of the navidson records

[maxmovies-n-games3]

Watch "Full-Auto Thompson 1928" on YouTube

just wow . the ^ chicago typwriter^ gangsters loved to use

[2dgamelp]

DAFONT

To give the effect of ww2 i would use one of three

WAR IS OVER

GERMANIC

1945 TYPWRITER

I would use these three as they give off the impression of a ww2 German trench I also believe with this is makes you feel as if your reading a note or letter from a long gone solider
