Lyrical Analysis of "Cinema"
If Harry’s House were structured like a novel using the Save the Cat! method, then Cinema would fall into the "Fun and Games" section—the part of the story where things feel playful on the surface but are actually setting up deeper emotional stakes.
This song is often assumed to be about OW, primarily because of the title. But if we actually break down the lyrics, it becomes clear that this isn’t a song about a new love—it’s about a love that has gone through struggles and still remains.
This song reads as a mix of two things:
A stunt-heavy framing device (the "Cinema" reference) to fit into a public narrative. He's done this before. Usually with one song per album. Like putting Cam*lle on Cherry.
A deeply personal song about intimacy with Louis—about choosing each other over and over, even when it’s hard.
Lyric Breakdown and Analysis
It's you And I'm not getting over it
This is one of the more revealing lines in the song. If this song were about OW, why would he need to get over it? Their relationship was framed as easy, effortless, and new—there was no past to reconcile.
But with Louis, this line makes perfect sense. This is a relationship that has been through struggles, separations, and external pressures. This is a relationship where "getting over it" has never been an option. This is someone he has tried and failed to move on from, time and time again. It echoes themes from Love of My Life, where he admits: "It’s not what I wanted, to leave you behind." No matter what has happened, he’s still here. He’s never getting over it.
Darling, is it cool If I'm stubborn when it comes to this?
This line reads like a direct plea to Louis. "Is it cool?" asking for reassurance. "If I'm stubborn when it comes to this?" He knows that their relationship has caused them pain, struggle, and secrecy—but if Louis is still willing to choose him, then he’s never letting go. This also directly echoes a lyric from Sweet Creature: "It's hard when we argue, we're both stubborn, I know." This line suggests: "I know this hasn’t been easy. I know we’ve been through hell. But if you’re still willing to do this, then I will never stop choosing you."
I guess we're in time If you're getting yourself wet for me
This line is explicit—but the phrasing is interesting. "I guess we're in time" implies that timing hasn’t always been right for them. "If you're getting yourself wet for me." This line is sexual, but also suggests willingness.
I guess you're all mine When you're sleeping in this bed with me
This line suggests impermanence—"you’re mine, but only when you’re here." It acknowledges that their relationship isn’t something they can publicly claim. It reinforces the idea that their time together is limited, stolen, hidden. It’s intimate, but also a little sad—because it’s not a love that can exist freely or all of the time. It's limited to only when the partner is in bed with them.
I just think you're cool I dig your cinema
This is where the stunt framing comes in. The phrase "I dig your cinema" could be a nod to OW and her film career, to sell the public narrative. But Louis also has connections to cinema. He worked at a Vue cinema before One Direction. He and Harry attended Two Door Cinema Club together at Leeds Festival—a festival that meant so much to them that we've still been getting references to it 10 years later.
The fact that Cinema has ties to both OW and Louis makes it feel like Harry wrote it from the heart, but altered the framing to fit an expected narrative.
So while Cinema plays into the expected stunt relationship, the rest of the lyrics tell a different story. "I just think you're cool" is so baby boyfriends coded that it gives me cuteness agression.

You all the time (Time, time) In doses at night (Night, night)
He thinks about Louis constantly. But he only gets him in small, stolen moments. This reinforces the hidden nature of their relationship.
No roof on the drive Dust off the high And go to sleep
This is where things take a turn.
Poppers are a recreational drug commonly used during gay sex.
They cause muscle relaxation, mild euphoria, and heightened arousal. The effects are short-lived, leading to a quick comedown. They were popularized in club culture and are still widely used in queer spaces.
"Dust off the high" suggests coming down from something intense, shaking off the effects. This is not the language of romance. It’s raw, physical, fleeting. This adds another layer to Cinema—this isn’t about love, it’s about intimacy. About using physical connection to hold onto something deeper, even when everything else is trying to tear them apart.
You pop when we get intimate
This is an explicit confirmation that this song is about sex—specifically queer sex. If this were truly about OW, why include such a blatant reference to a drug most commonly used in the gay community?
Final Thoughts
Cinema is a song about:
A relationship that has gone through struggles and come back together.
Choosing each other, despite the difficulties.
Hiding, waiting, and only getting each other in small moments.
Physical intimacy being a way to hold onto something deeper.
The title and surface-level framing may fit the stunt narrative, but the deeper lyrics reveal the truth beneath the performance.
And that truth?
"It’s you, and I’m not getting over it."

how did you learn coding?
I am pretty much entirely self taught as far as front end goes!
I started messing around with HTML and CSS with tumblr themes back in 2016-ish.
For javascript I looked at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/ for a lot of documentation + examples. And also used codepen a lot to kinda reverse engineer existing snippets of code.
I also read a lot of https://css-tricks.com/
And for flexbox + css grid there's these:
After I got a good foundation of vanilla JS, I learned Vue for a little while and then moved on to React. The new react documentation is really good in my opinion so I definitely recommend reading that if you're interested in learning.
Most of my learning came from trial and error and working on projects that I was really excited about. I used to be so proud of findtags (the original version) which was in jquery...
The react version is miles ahead of it. And even then, the theme builder is also way ahead of findtags. I learned way more between those two projects than reading documentation alone!

Idk, the way everyone fights for teams in the hotd fandom is peak example of the media literacy crisis for me. Everyone blaming everyone for loving their favs, people literaly bullying each other over fiction is the purest result of people consuming fiction like it's a football game and not a story with complex themes and subjects. It is fiction ; the fact that people absolutely need to have a strong opinion on it and shame others who don't think the same is so weird to me. Loving Daemon or Alicent or even Aegon doesn't make you a horrible person ; it's fucking fiction. Fiction was never meant to have a sense of moral righteousness to it, especially George R.R. Martin's stories. It's not all black and white ; they're all saints from a certain point of vue but from another, they're all deeply wretched and you should be celebrating such good writing instead of bullying everybody. You can like a fictional vilain for the sole reason that they're well written ; nobody should judge you for that. The things I've seen in here, people going around accusing others to be r*pe apologists because they like Aegon is CRAZY. I always think about how the showrunners were surprised to see people pick sides in such a fierce way because that is not what the show's about ; it's not a little fight between two sides the way you made it to be, it's literaly a family destroying itself and a whole ass continent with it. It's what happens when a destructive force such as dragons is put in the hands of the wrong people. You can claim to be team Black without bullying the shit out of team Green stans and same other way around. It is possible to want Rhaenyra on the throne without belittling other characters' traumas. You can hate a character without bullying the actor or those who love it. It is possible to like Aegon because he is written as the ultimate example of what abuse does to people, just like you can love and support Alicent while condemning the way she treats Rhaenyra after she gives birth. You have been gifted with an incredible show, that is also an incredible adaptation of a great book with magnificent actors and complex writing, and you would rather bully Olivia Cooke or other fans instead of appreciating the deep quality of it all and what it's really about. I am TIRED and I already know everyone's going to be fighting over this because you got so used to consuming low-quality and poorly written media that tells you immediately what to think about the characters, who's the bad guy and who's the good one that you can't see past it to reach the true meaning of a story.

I wrote a really negative rant post about All For the Game fanfic, so I want to write a positive one. I really do love this fandom, and it’s fanfics, and I want to share the love as well.
By category, here are some fics I love.
Time Travel
Once More by AkemiAsh I just call this The All For The Game Time Travel Fic in my head. It has a really interesting take on Neil and Andrew going back in time all the way to high school. It will probably never be finished, but I still love rereading it.
One More Time (With Feeling) by elesary All of elesary's fics are wonderful and there are several on this list. Many are unfinished, and though the author tends to update a new chapter every week, they rotate between fics. So if you don't like unfinished fics, this is not the one for you. However, if you want a time travel fic with Neil and Andrew going back to their first year at Palmetto, with really interesting characterization and relationship dynamics, this is the fic for you.
Amnesia
Back To The Start by fuzzballsheltiepants There's a lot of fuzzballsheltiepants on this list because they're an absolutely brilliant writer. You can't go wrong with any of their fics. Please note that they are locked though, so you will need an AO3 account to view them.
Muscle Memory by elesary Andrew wakes up in the hospital with no memory of the past few years. It's incredibly in-character and wonderful.
Presque Vue by elesary Neil wakes up in the hospital with no memory of anything since Andrew drugged him at Eden's. Really interesting start! Unfinished so far.
Raven!Neil
Black As the Raven Is, He’ll Get a Partner by nekojita I think this counts as a fandom classic, but it's my favorite Raven!Neil fic so I had to mention it anyway. The Ravens find Neil after he turns down the Foxes' offer to play at Palmetto and he is a Raven from the beginning of his college career. Featuring Neil & Jean friendship and really, really slow-burn Andreil. Mind the warnings for graphic violence and rape (I think it's slightly worse than canon)
Ever More Raven Neil (series) by ynnon this is a recent series where Neil goes to Evermore for Christmas and never leaves. It has two complete installments thus far but the series is technically unfinished. It is one of the most original takes on Raven!Neil I have ever seen and the writing is spectacular. I can't recommend it enough.
Neil’s Asexuality
Swinging Along the Z Axis by SpangleBangle Neil and Andrew discuss what attraction is like for Neil.
Sliding Doors by Moth2Flame Neil and Andrew never kiss during their time at Palmetto. Neil and Robin figure out their asexuality together, and Neil and Andrew get together years later.
The Test & All The Little Lights by fuzzballsheltiepants The first fic really focuses on Andrew, the second on Neil. I call this the "Willing vs. Want To" fic in my head and think it's a really interesting exploration of asexuality (particularly in the second installment).
Random Andreil
Not Nothing by TheRainbowElectric Possibly the most brilliant AFTG fic in existence. I cannot hype it up enough. Seriously, just go read it.
Except When It’s No by TheRainbowElectric The one where they try handcuffs and it goes badly. Based off Nora’s extra content.
Out of the Ashes by puddlejumper99 Neil and Andrew meet pre-canon when, after his mother’s death, Neil starts attending high school in Columbia instead of Millport.
A Mewment Like This by fuzzballsheltiepants I'm usually not the biggest fan of AUs, but this one is wonderful. Andrew and Neil meet at the vet because they both have cats with stupid names. It might sound fluffy, and it is clever and funny, but it also explores some of the darker themes and character development that happen in the books.
if every time we touch, you get this kind of rush by Talls This fic has Andrew and Matt kissing (still with Andreil and Matt/Dan as the main ships) and it sounds absolutely insane but just trust me, you have to read it. This is also possibly the best-written makeout scene I have ever read in my life.

···🧚♂️·✧·•°♡·✧·∞·✧·♡°•·✧·🧚···
Hello! Welcome to my blog!
I've learned my lesson about giving my name— considering the fae tricked me, stole my attention AND executive functioning too! The nerve!— but you can call me Vue if you want! ( ◜‿◝ )♡
Some things about me:
I'm 20f, and my pronouns are she/they ♡
I got diagnosed at 6 years old with ADHD which is very uncommon for my demographic as we tend to present more inwardly, but being the little anomaly I am— I present outwardly, so I matched the "boyish" description the psychologists were taught to look for
My Myers Briggs is INFP I know it's pseudoscience but it actually describes me pretty well. Not perfect by any means but it's still a pretty solid description
I'm a Leo, my Sun is in Leo, my Moon is in Aquarius, and I'm a Capricorn rising! I don't know what this shit means but I'm gay as hell and queer people love knowing these for some reason. I mean I don't think I'm gonna find the future love of my life on Tumblr or anything, but hell, I won't complain
I'm pan-romantic and demisexual (。•̀ᴗ-)✧
My favorite number is 2, but my favorite angel number is 333
My favorite animal is an elephant, but my favorite baby animal is the baby hippo if you have not seen a baby hippo I swear to the GODS you must look them up this INSTANT!!!!—
My favorite colors are pink, green, yellow, and blue ♡
I have a multitude of collections that include but aren't limited to: rocks/crystals, quarters, old coins/coins from other countries, buttons, feathers, and other discarded or lost bits and bobs I've found at some point or another that I just loved and wanted to horde keep. yes, I'm a magpie. Stuff like cute tiny screws, bent nails, assorted small plastic shapes/things, pendants and charms, pins, worthless coins, lost or broken earrings, and other shiny/pretty little knickknacks and doodads (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
I love listening to music/singing along off key, and writing poetry. I also really love reading, but mostly fantasy, sci-fi, and romance novels, preferably ones with two or more of those themes/side plots(◕ᴗ◕✿)
Despite all my other hobbies and interests, playing videogames is probably my favorite one— or at least very close, depending on the day! I'm a PlayStation girly, (no hate at ALL to Xbox players, it's just the PS4 was my first and only console, and I don't like how the Xbox controller is laid out! ♡) and my favorites include: Mass Effect Legendary edition, Red Dead Redemption 2, Days Gone, The Last of Us 1 & 2, The Ghost of Tsushima, Skyrim, Life is Strange remastered & Life is Strange Before the Storm, God of War & God of War Ragnarok, Untill Dawn, The Sims 4, Minecraft, and Splitgate. I also really love Balders Gate 3 but exclusively by/from watching different playthroughs because I can't afford a PS5 lmao </3
If you made it this far, wow!
I wasn't expecting to see you through! Now you know a little more about me. (✿^‿^) If you like what you see or what you read, rather, you should follow me! Or, ya know, follow me because you like my posts/reblogs, I'll like that too! ( ꈍᴗꈍ)♥
#WARNING: The aesthetics of this blog does NOT coincide with the content this blog contains. You have been forewarned#oh im funny? thanks; its the trauma#but officer; i couldnt pay my taxes! i was too busy being a simp for people who dont exist#blog intro#intro post#intro pin#actually adhd#actually mentally ill#random thoughts#unfiltered thoughts#reblog stuff#fandoms#memes#music#gaming#reading#writing#quotes#crystals#angel numbers#panromantic#demisexual#lgbtq community#infp#aesthetic#higher self#humanity is inherently good#you are enough just as you are#you are important#you deserve to be happy; loved; respected; and to love yourself first ♡

My first Vue.js app ✨
Today I'm working on a multi-day assignment - a bitcoin digital wallet app using the Vue framework! Crypto is not my jam but fortunately this is just a theme for a CRUDL app that will let me practice this new framework for the first time, as well as improve my design and UX skills! I will also work with some APIs for drawing the required data and libraries for visualizing it with charts.
I actually started this project a few days ago, but have not been in a good mindset to make a lot of progress. So far Vue seems simpler than React, so I hope today will go better!
The concept of this app is to be a digital wallet, where the user has an amount of 'bitcoin' and a list of contacts to whom they can transfer money.
So far I have a pretty solid layout, a header and footer, and I managed to render a list of previews of contacts.
The plan for today:
implement a filter
implement the rest of the CRUDL features
create a statistics dashboard
improve the overall design & UX

Your blorbos have to buy a used car from a shady dealership. It goes about as badly as it could possibly go.
this is funny to picture but i have way too little understanding of the car purchasing process to actually write this without doing a bunch of research so it's probably not happening as a fic sorry
however i'm picturing it being like a junky minivan, it would be in the version of modern au where the sages are housemates and not the 'be and vue and iru are living together as a family' one that i wrote a couple things in
Waz would get like ship themed decorations for it. like a dangling ship's wheel ornament thing to hang off the rear view mirror. Belaf: hanging things off the rearview mirror is distracting and unsafe >:I ((removes it and sticks it in the glove compartment)) Waz: ((puts it back up every time he uses the vehicle.)) slash some kind of really dumb bumper sticker. 'My Other Ride Is An Ancient Curve Prowed Dhow.'
it probably has...idk...things...wrong with it...i don't know about cars im sorry. i do like the image of them stuck on a shoulder with the hood popped open inspecting it quizically and two of the three looking somewhat stressed over what to do next.
also Belaf and Vueko are both good drivers (Vue does not KNOW she is a good driver though. sometimes psyches herself out.) Wazukyan is unsurprisingly a really scary bad driver but never gets into any accidents or even has a fender bender. Other people who get driven around in this van by given sages include Irumyuui (of course), Pakkoyan, and Ajapoka. Sometimes there is some cramming three people into the back row involved. It's cozy.
#oh i belatedly realized after writing all of this that 'totally different AU where Waz sells Be and Vue a shitty car' has potential too#he might be good at that.... but. yeah. the same problem that i cant actually write it#i drive a used car but my dad was the one who bought it ten years ago so idk shit about the buying process lol#tagging this because i want to tag more of my abyss shit because idk i havent inflicted myself on this fandom enough i guess#made in abyss#orphan hole tag

eCommerce Platforms 2025: Choosing Between Shopify, Magento, Headless & ONDC Integration for Indian Businesses

The Indian eCommerce market in 2025 is a whirlwind of opportunity and dynamism. As consumer behaviour shifts further online and new technologies emerge, laying the right foundation for your digital storefront is more critical than ever. Choosing the correct eCommerce platform isn't just a technical decision; it's a strategic one that impacts your scalability, customer experience, and future growth. Navigating this landscape requires expertise, which is why many businesses seek the best eCommerce website development in India to guide them. This post will explore the leading contenders – Shopify, Magento (Adobe Commerce), Headless Commerce – and the crucial consideration of ONDC integration specifically for businesses operating in India.
Shopify: The User-Friendly Launchpad
For many startups, D2C brands, and small to medium businesses (SMBs) in India, Shopify remains a compelling choice. Its primary strength lies in its remarkable ease of use and rapid setup time. You can get a functional, attractive online store running relatively quickly without deep technical knowledge.
Pros: Intuitive interface, vast App Store for extending functionality, strong ecosystem, reliable hosting included, good support for Indian payment gateways like UPI and popular wallets.
Cons: Transaction fees apply if you don't use Shopify Payments, customization can be limited compared to other platforms (especially theme structure), and the total cost of ownership can increase significantly as you add numerous paid apps for advanced features.
Best Fit: Businesses prioritizing speed to market, ease of management, and a straightforward selling model. Ideal for those new to eCommerce who want a robust, managed solution.
Magento (Adobe Commerce): The Scalable Powerhouse
Magento, now part of Adobe Commerce, has long been the platform of choice for larger businesses and those with complex requirements. Its open-source roots (Magento Open Source) offer immense flexibility, while Adobe Commerce provides enterprise-level features and support.
Pros: Highly customizable and scalable, capable of handling vast product catalogs and high traffic volumes, extensive built-in features (especially for B2B), large global developer community, allows for complex multi-store, multi-language, and multi-currency setups common for pan-India operations.
Cons: Steeper learning curve, requires skilled developers and potentially higher development costs, hosting and maintenance are self-managed (for Open Source) or part of a higher-cost Adobe Commerce package, longer initial development timelines.
Best Fit: Established businesses, large enterprises, B2B companies, and those with unique, complex requirements demanding deep customization and control over their platform architecture.
Headless Commerce: The Apex of Flexibility & Experience
Headless commerce represents a modern architectural approach where the frontend (the customer-facing 'head' – website, mobile app, IoT device) is decoupled from the backend eCommerce engine (handling products, orders, customers). This offers unparalleled flexibility.
Pros: Complete design freedom for unique user experiences, superior performance (often paired with PWAs – Progressive Web Apps – ideal for India's mobile users), seamless omnichannel selling, API-first approach facilitates easier integration with other systems (ERP, CRM), future-proof architecture.
Cons: Generally higher initial development complexity and cost, requires managing separate frontend and backend systems, demands a skilled development team proficient in modern frontend frameworks (like React, Vue) and APIs.
Best Fit: Brands focused on creating unique, content-rich customer experiences, businesses aiming for sophisticated omnichannel strategies, and those wanting maximum performance and flexibility for future innovation.
Navigating Your Platform Strategy?
Choosing between the ease of Shopify, the power of Magento, or the flexibility of Headless – while also considering ONDC – can be complex. Each path has implications for your budget, resources, and growth trajectory.
If you're interested in exploring the benefits of eCommerce development services for your business, we encourage you to book an appointment with our team of experts. Book an Appointment
ONDC Integration: The Strategic Imperative for India
The Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) is a game-changer specific to the Indian market. It's not another platform but a government-backed initiative creating open protocols to allow buyers and sellers across different platforms to interact seamlessly. Think of it like UPI for eCommerce – standardizing the rails for digital transactions.
Why Integrate? Participating in ONDC can significantly increase your visibility, especially for MSMEs, providing access to customers on various buyer apps without being locked into a single large marketplace. It aims to democratize digital commerce and foster fair competition.
Integration Considerations: Integrating with ONDC means making your chosen platform (Shopify, Magento, or your Headless backend) compatible with ONDC protocols. This typically involves using specific APIs or middleware solutions to handle catalog publishing, order management, and fulfilment communication across the network. Making Your Choice: Key Factors for Indian Businesses
There's no single "best" platform; the ideal choice depends on your specific context:
Business Size & Complexity: Startups might favor Shopify, while large enterprises lean towards Magento or Headless.
Budget: Consider both initial development costs and ongoing expenses (hosting, apps, maintenance, potential transaction fees).
Technical Resources: Do you have an in-house team or rely on an agency? Magento and Headless require more technical expertise.
Customization Needs: How unique does your user experience or backend logic need to be? Headless offers the most freedom.
Scalability Plans: How much growth do you anticipate in traffic, products, and geographical reach (within India and potentially globally)?
ONDC Strategy: Is participating in ONDC a priority? Ensure your chosen platform path supports seamless integration.
Conclusion: Building Your Future-Proof Foundation
Selecting the right eCommerce platform in 2025 is a crucial step for any Indian business aiming for online success. Whether it's the accessibility of Shopify, the robust power of Magento, or the cutting-edge flexibility of Headless Commerce, your decision must align with your business goals, technical capabilities, and budget. Crucially, factoring in strategic initiatives like ONDC integration is essential for long-term visibility and competitiveness within the unique Indian digital ecosystem. Carefully evaluating these options, perhaps utilizing an eCommerce Cost Calculator to map out potential investments, and partnering with knowledgeable development experts will ensure you build a scalable, resilient, and future-proof foundation for your online venture.

Steps to Build a PWA
Build Your Web App: Use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript or a frontend framework like React, Vue, or Angular.
Add a Manifest File: Create a manifest.json to define the app’s name, icons, theme colors, and display mode.
Register a Service Worker: Write a JavaScript file that handles caching, fetch events, and offline behavior.
Enable HTTPS: Use SSL to serve your app securely.
Test and Optimize: Use Lighthouse or DevTools to audit your PWA and improve performance.
Example Manifest File
{ "name": "My PWA App", "short_name": "PWAApp", "start_url": "/index.html", "display": "standalone", "background_color": "#ffffff", "theme_color": "#317EFB", "icons": [ { "src": "icon-192.png", "sizes": "192x192", "type": "image/png" }, { "src": "icon-512.png", "sizes": "512x512", "type": "image/png" } ] }
Popular Tools and Libraries
Workbox: A library from Google to simplify service worker logic
Lighthouse: Audits and scores your PWA for performance and compliance
PWA Builder: Helps generate manifest and service worker files quickly
Best Practices
Design for offline-first functionality
Ensure quick loading with lazy loading and caching
Use push notifications thoughtfully to avoid annoying users
Keep your manifest and service worker updated
Conclusion
PWAs are a powerful way to deliver modern web experiences with mobile app-like performance and features. By following the best practices outlined above, you can build a web app that not only engages users but also performs reliably and efficiently across all devices and network conditions.

JOUR 4.5
enfaite j'ai un peu la flemme d'attendre demain pour parler de ma théorie mais bon..
pour qu'un cookie puisse venir a la vie, il faut qu'il ait de la poudre magique, je ne sais pas exactement ce que j'entend pas poudre magique mais probablement quelque chose de la sociére, une poudre, magique..... qui donne vie.... quoi......
dans le cas des cookies, leur composition est determinante : cookie loup garou par exemple est ce qu'il est car par mégarde des poils de loup se sont glissé dans sa préparation, tandis que gingerbright est, euh, bright ??? car elle a de la poudre brillante ou jsp quoi dans sa compo demandez a cookie sorcier dans l'update teeniping run il le sait mieu que moi. ça implique que ces ingrédients ont une grande importance dans ce qui adviendra de la personnalité des cookies, mais la seule manière de créer cette personalité, est ....... la magie, donc la poudre ou jsp quoi de la sorciére qui leur as permit de prendre vie
en gros les ingrédients usé on une influence sur la personalité du cookie. A chaque fois, presque, que devsister parle d'un cookie ils parlent de lui a un moment toujours en terme de ses composants.
et donc ça structurerais leur identité et en enlever leur modifierais complétement leur personnalité, voyez donc la nouvelle collab.... j'ai rien trouvé pour vous montrer sur internet, désolée. par contre jsp et je pense pas que ça affecte en rien les souvenirs mais bon on continue
en mourrant (euh de ce que g compris) cyborg (AVANT QUELLE SOIT UN CYBORG) s'est désagrégée, alors tout le défi pour la faire revivre comme elle était avant est donc en grande partie du au fait qu'il faut réussir a rapiécer (re-synthétiser ??) ses ingredient (pour restaurer sa personalité et d'un autre coté lui permettre d'apprenhender ses souvenirs si aloe réussissait a lui réimplanter), il nous est impossible d'en prendre de nouveau, ce ne serait pas elle, et il est encore possible probablement de les synthétiser, mais il y aurait probablement des conséquences sur de qu'elle manière Cyborg se réveillerais..
enfaite g un peu perdu de vue ce que je voulais dire mais bref ça a du être hyper galére de resynthétiser quelque chose d'origine magique par la cybernétique
jsp aussi comment la cybernétique est censée fonctionner dans cookie run....; cyborg est plate comme un cookie
je dit ça surtout car lorsqu'il est question de enfaite tout, ya tjr un rapport avec des ingrédients (ça fait une heure que je me drogue au theme de cookie Aloe je perd la boule aléd)

WEEK FOUR: PHOTOGRAPHY CAMPAIGN CRITICAL REVIEW
Comment l’idée de 404 Not Found t’est-elle venue ?
est un projet que j’ai commencé en 2017, dans le cadre d’une résidence artistique à la Galleria San Fedela, à Milan. On m’avait attribué le thème de la ville. J’avais déjà eu l’occasion de travailler sur ce sujet par le passé, alors j’ai tenté une approche différente. Cette fois-ci, j’ai voulu donner de la substance à mon imagination en déployant en images l’histoire d’une ville d’un futur proche. En antidatant mon point de vue à notre époque actuelle, j’invite à considérer le futur comme le présent de quelqu’un. De cette façon, notre aujourd’hui devenait aussi le demain de celles et ceux qui ne sont plus à nos côtés.
TRANSLATED USING GOOGLE SO THERE MAY BE SOME INCORRECT WORDING AND MEANING:
is a project I began in 2017, as part of an artist residency at the Galleria San Fedela in Milan. I was assigned the theme of the city. I had already had the opportunity to work on this subject in the past, so I tried a different approach. This time, I wanted to give substance to my imagination by unfolding in images the story of a city from the near future. By predating my perspective to our current era, I invite us to consider the future as someone's present. In this way, today also became the tomorrow of those who are no longer with us.
MY THOUGHTS: This project was first initiated in 2017 when he was working on an artist residency at the Galleria San Fedela in Milan, where he was assigned the theme of the city. Having worked on a similar subject in the past, he saw this as an opportunity to find a new perspective. Looking towards the future of the city, he ignited his imagination by looking through his perspective of the near future. By looking at the present as if it were the past, he encourages us to see the future as someone else’s present. In this way, today is also the future for those who came before us.
Avec ce projet, j’ai mené une exploration solitaire de notre quotidien. J’ai réfléchi à la manière dont la technologie nous a éloignés de la réciprocité, créant de nouvelles perspectives illusoires tout en affectant nos impressions des autres et la façon dont nous prenons des décisions. J’étais fasciné par ce concept – propre aux réseaux de communication – dans lequel le « client » ne peut répondre à la requête malgré une connexion au « serveur » réussie. J’ai transposé cette pensée à l’histoire humaine et l’incommunicabilité qui nous distingue. Dans mon récit, le « client » et le « serveur » sont devenus des humains incapables d’échanger des ressources pour diverses raisons. - LUCA MARIANACCIO
TRANSLATED USING GOOGLE SO THERE MAY BE SOME INCORRECT WORDING AND MEANING:
With this project, I conducted a solitary exploration of our daily lives. I reflected on how technology has distanced us from reciprocity, creating new, illusory perspectives while affecting our impressions of others and the way we make decisions. I was fascinated by this concept—specific to communication networks—in which the "client" cannot respond to the request despite a successful connection to the "server." I transposed this thought to human history and the incommunicability that distinguishes us. In my story, the "client" and the "server" have become humans incapable of exchanging resources for various reasons.
MY THOUGHTS: A summary of this campaign and project from Luca Marianaccio is an exploration of technology in the daily lives and how it has affected our perception of relationships and connections. more specifically, how we communicate through technology, a story of a 'client' that is unable to respond to the request even with a connection to the 'server'. This idea is translated into human history and nature, and how being incapable of communication has changed us, with the 'client' and 'server' being represented as humans in his work.
Ton approche est plutôt minimaliste… (your approach is rather minimalist...)
Souvent, ce qui apparaît dans mes images est le résultat d’un travail de soustraction par rapport à un macrocosme de départ. C’est un effacement continu. Ce que je dépeins est sous les yeux de tous, mais il se trouve dans un large champ de vision et peut donc nous échapper par distraction et désintérêt. Peut-être plus qu’un langage minimaliste, le mien peut être défini comme un processus de renonciation du réel que j’essaye de poursuivre dans toutes mes recherches, et pas seulement dans 404 Not Found. - LUCA MARIANACCIO
TRANSLATED USING GOOGLE SO THERE MAY BE SOME INCORRECT WORDING AND MEANING:
Often, what appears in my images is the result of a work of subtraction from an initial macrocosm. It is a continuous erasure. What I depict is before everyone's eyes, but it is located in a wide field of vision and can therefore escape us through distraction and disinterest. Perhaps more than a minimalist language, mine can be defined as a process of renunciation of reality that I try to pursue in all my research, and not only in 404 Not Found.
MY THOUGHTS: The work and images are the process of subtraction. It is a continuous erasure from the initial wide lens he sees through. He captures what everyone can see, but removes the distractions and disinterest to find focus. Instead of minimalism, he sees it as a form of rejection of the perceived reality through this project,t but through all his research.
Traces d’humanité absentes de l’image, visages dissimulés par un objet ou l’obscurité, mains esseulées… Dans ta série, il n’y a jamais d’êtres dans leur entièreté. Pourquoi ? (Traces of humanity absent from the image, faces hidden by an object or darkness, lonely hands... In your series, there are never any beings in their entirety. Why?)
La quasi-disparition de la figure humaine se justifie par mon besoin de raconter des histoires non plus à travers les êtres, mais bien à travers les choses qui leur appartiennent. Le talent tragique, inné de l’homme est de modifier l’environnement, de le façonner à son image. L’observation du paysage m’a toujours aidé à me poser des questions sur sa condition et sur le sens de son errance sur Terre.
TRANSLATED USING GOOGLE SO THERE MAY BE SOME INCORRECT WORDING AND MEANING:
The near-disappearance of the human figure is justified by my need to tell stories not through beings, but rather through the things that belong to them. Man's tragic, innate talent is to modify the environment, to shape it in his own image. Observing the landscape has always helped me to ask myself questions about his condition and the meaning of his wandering on Earth.
MY THOUGHTS: His reasoning behind the lack of human figures in this project is his perspective and need to tell a story not through human beings but by what belongs to them. described and 'man's tragic innate talent' of modifying the environment to shape their own mind. His background in architecture may have pushed this way of viewing the world and how he shows it through his images. observing the landscape to question others and himself about the meaning behind of life.
Penses-tu que nous soyons condamnés à une certaine solitude en raison de l’expansion des machines dans tous les domaines ? (Do you think we are condemned to a certain solitude due to the expansion of machines in all areas?)
La peur du lendemain est évidente quand il n’y a pas de mémoire efficace pour « justifier » nos habitudes. L’émergence et la progression de la société hyper-technologique – effrayante, aujourd’hui, à bien des égards pour des scénarios qui seront peut-être les nôtres d’ici peu – font naître des doutes sur ce que pourrait devenir notre quotidien. Nous devons faire face à la solitude. Je crois fermement que se confronter à son for intérieur est essentiel pour se sentir en harmonie avec ses propres actions. Mais je n’envisage pas la question comme une condamnation. Je la perçois plutôt comme une prise de conscience de la condition humaine. La ville déploie progressivement sa vérité en tant qu’entité homogénéisante. Une créature qui a presque pris le dessus sur son créateur : au lieu d’être à son service, elle le contrôle et le manipule selon les trajectoires de son existence. La technologie a déformé le rythme de vie des individus, les éloignant de cette véritable réciprocité. À présent, ils ne peuvent plus être animés que par la fiction de l’artifice. Nous ne sommes pas condamnés, mais destinés à un futur que nous avons généré nous-mêmes.
TRANSLATED THROUGH GOOGLE MAY BE MISTAKES AND INCORRECT STATEMENTS AND USE OF WORDS:
The fear of tomorrow is evident when there is no effective memory to "justify" our habits. The emergence and progression of the hyper-technological society—frightening today, in many ways, for scenarios that may soon be ours—raises doubts about what our daily lives might become. We must face solitude. I firmly believe that confronting one's inner self is essential to feeling in harmony with one's own actions. But I don't see the question as a condemnation. Rather, I see it as an awareness of the human condition. The city is gradually revealing its truth as a homogenizing entity. A creature that has almost taken over its creator: instead of serving him, it controls and manipulates him according to the trajectories of its existence. Technology has distorted the rhythm of people's lives, distancing them from this true reciprocity. Now, they can only be animated by the fiction of artifice. We are not doomed, but destined for a future of our own making.
MY THOUGHTS: The images are a representation of the fear of tomorrow, our future, from the emergence and progression of our hyper-technological society. It is the unknowing of how this will affect us in our daily lives in the near future. The focus on solitude is an act towards self-reflection and to find a deeper understanding of what it means to be human. The city (technological society) is being revealed to us as a separate entity no longer under the control of its creator but shaping itself life through its own path and patterns. It has separated us so far from our natural experience of what it means to live and breathe as humans. may now be living through an article life. "We are not doomed, but destined for a future of our own making."
L’absence d’êtres humains dans les paysages que tu captures peut laisser place à une sensation de mélancolie. Quelles sortes d’émotions souhaites-tu transmettre à travers ce projet ? (The absence of human beings in the landscapes you capture can give rise to a feeling of melancholy. What kinds of emotions do you want to convey through this project?)
Ma production d’images reflète et traduit inévitablement mes sentiments. Je vis avec une éternelle mélancolie, dont je ne veux pas approfondir les raisons. Certainement, après avoir passé les deux tiers de mon existence dans des lieux périphériques et en marge, avec une nature prédominante, je sens le paysage s’animer dans mon imagination. À mes yeux, l’anthropisation est toujours contre nature. Cela peut paraître évident, mais instinctivement, l’homme a toujours refoulé et confié sa fragilité à autre chose que lui-même. Dans mon récit, cette révélation amère explique les raisons de son malaise qui résident dans sa conduite peu exemplaire. On se retrouve devant un miroir et on réalise soudain que la cause de nos plus grandes peurs, c’est nous-mêmes. 404 Not Found est une lettre ouverte à tous ceux qui veulent poser des questions sur l’avenir.
TRANSLATED USING GOOGLE SO THERE MAY BE MISINTERPRETATIONS OF WORDS AND MEANING:
My image production inevitably reflects and translates my feelings. I live with an eternal melancholy, the reasons for which I don't want to delve into. Certainly, after spending two-thirds of my life in peripheral and marginal places, with nature predominating, I feel the landscape come alive in my imagination. In my eyes, humanization is always unnatural. It may seem obvious, but instinctively, humankind has always repressed and entrusted its fragility to something other than itself. In my story, this bitter revelation explains the reasons for its unease, which lie in its less-than-exemplary behavior. We find ourselves in front of a mirror and suddenly realize that the cause of our greatest fears is ourselves. 404 Not Found is an open letter to anyone who wants to ask questions about the future.
MY THOUGHTS: The emotions conveyed in his work are a reflection of his feelings and experiences throughout his life, living with an eternal melancholy. In his eyes, humanization has always been unnatural, and he belives instinctively, people have always suppressed their own fragility, placing their trust elsewhere. His goal in the creation of his work is to reveal the truth, the uncomfortable and the discomfort in our imperfect actions. a mirror that reflects the fear that starts from within us. "404 Not Found is an open letter to anyone who wants to ask questions about the future."

PAIN QUOTIDIEN 💡
THEME: ATTENTION À LA MENTALITÉ DES SAUTERELLES (suite 2)
Les Philistins décidèrent de faire la guerre à Israël, au sud-ouest de Jérusalem.
Ils avaient confiance dans leur armement, commandement, force, et dans le fait qu'ils avaient été vainqueurs dans le passé.
Par contre, les Israélites étaient démoralisés et effrayés. Ils se voyaient comme des sauterelles, incapables et vaincus. Les soldats Israélites fuyaient Goliath (1Samuel 17:1-58).
Les Philistins avaient leur champion Goliath, qui mesurait trois mètres cinquante-sept et portait au moins 80 kg d'armure. Il pesait entre 270 et 340 kg. Du point de vue humain, il était victorieux. La peur envahissait Israël.
Pendant quarante jours de défi, Goliath insultait et se moquait du Dieu vivant et Son peuple.
Dieu suscita David, un jeune de moins de 20 ans, sans formation militaire mais avec une expérience de guerre dans la forêt avec les lions et ours. Il fut méprisé par ses propres frères, le roi Saül puis par Goliath.
C'est David que Dieu utilisa pour écraser Goliath avec une arme ordinaire. Il était conscient que l'arme ordinaire plus le nom de l'Eternel donne la victoire. Faisons confiance en Dieu. Il écoute et exauce la prière des chrétiens et serviteurs de Dieu authentiques.
