Im So Glad ZUN Is Cool And Not A Reactionary! Massive Festival Should Be Thrown

I wonder if 'drug user' was an unnecessarily technical-sounding translation of, like, 'addict' or something. "She had so many drugs, like an addict" is a sentence with good flow

She had so many drugs... like a drug user.

A lot of people use art as a way to express emotions but I think it's important to not let emotional expression become just a new standard of authenticity. Express your feelings if you want to. You can also just make shapeless forms and that's okay too.

if I ever upload art on here (unlikely) I want to draw this

Wait what if we did the regional miku thing with Calne Ca

it feels like we're only beginning to realize how much psychological heterogeny exists among humans

let's forget about the idea of human nature together

while the fact they advertized them as 'dire wolves' is inaccurate and misleading, it's not good that so many people are treating the new wolves as some kind of horrible thing due to the process by which they came into being.

I love genetically engineered species and I hope infinite numbers of them arise in the future

There is no purity in nature

Although the 3d Yume Nikki never looked interesting to me, this entity (Wrapi/Warpie) does. Maybe because it's not a reproduction of something from the original game, it can be appreciated by itself. It's good!

realistic,* technically demanding art styles have so much cultural clout over other styles that many people feel compelled to get good at them even when there's no reason to do so. I don't think you need to be good at such things to produce powerful stylized art

*maybe 'illusionistic' would be a better term

Think about the difference between a classical Greco-Roman statue and a roughly carved wooden mask. The Greco-Roman statue is both realistic and idealizing, rational, and dreamlike. Apollonian. The mask is rough and emotive, messy, affecting us on some level other than our rational mind... Dionysian. Statue = Euripides, Mask = Sophocles

listened to medea today and i gotta say. nietzsche's beef with euripides is truly crazy. like. i mean antigone was a good play but medea was a really good play. seems unambiguously to be an advancement of the art form. also idk, is it really meaningfully more apollonian and less dionysian than previous works. like. i means it not clear what he means by those words basically at all (i see this everywhere glossed as like "order" vs "chaos" and.... maybe that's part of what he means? it's clearly not all of what he means. well actually what he means is "of the nature of the narrative section of the play" and "of the nature of the chorus section of the play" but what that nature is...). medea is calculating but she's clearly passionate, and i feel like the way she takes everything from everyone has a very dionysian feel, the...abandonment of care, the willfullness. idk if this is anything. the chorus IS much more pedestrian and less spooky. so. he's right there

ANYWAY i think the most parsimonious explanation is "nietzsche hates slaves, and doesnt like that theyre portrated as people in this play" (he specifically mentions the centering of slaves as a bad thing! because he thinks it makes the play more pedestrian, i guess? but idk, it throw medea's otherworldliness into sharp relief! if the volume of eveyry character is turned up, you cant hear them in the din)

:heart: decaying messy apartment blocks

This map is probably 90% done but I'm very tired of working on it
