Il primo Kolossal Italiano: Cabiria

Il primo Kolossal Italiano: Cabiria #Cabiria #Dannunzio #GiovanniPastrone #Cinema

“One of the films that started it all”… Con queste parole il regista Martin Scorsese, a distanza di quasi un secolo dalla prima proiezione, definisce uno dei film più importanti della storia del cinema. Non si tratta di un film americano, bensì di uno italiano, Cabiria, considerato il più grande kolossal e il più famoso film italiano del cinema muto.  Spesso associato al nome di Gabriele…

Happy Koloss Head Munching Day, and Brandon's birthday too, I suppose.

#she gaslights the koloss by taking control of their emotions #she keeps the gates of luthadel #and she girlbosses all over the kings #i'm right about this #vin #vin venture #the well of ascension #mistborn era 1 #mistborn #cremposting #part 5 vin is a mood that i need to reexperience at least once a year

Genuinely super curious as someone whos read a few sandersons and never had anything stand out to me as religious/propagandistic: what is the underlying Message he is getting to? I don’t doubt the claim at all I just would love to hear more (and am generally unfamiliar with a lot of Mormon beliefs which is maybe why I missed it)

i think it would be hard to say that sanderson is getting at a specific *message* so much as he has very mormon ideas about how religion functions, about how men and women should conduct relationships, and about "right" and "wrong" ways of being in the world. i think the core romantic attractions in the latter part of the mistborn series pretty much state my point:

waxillium and lessie -- devoted heterosexual marriage which can only end in the spouse's death. later on, when we bring lessie back, she has to be both evil and directly religiously opposed to wax/harmony in order to fully cement his attachment to steris.

waxillium and steris -- a man resenting his legal attachment to a woman he has no romantic (read: spiritual) attraction to, who eventually relents bc his strong moral (read: spiritual) and noble attitudes uh. "thaw her frozen heart" or whatthefuckever sanderson says abt it. which he can only do after resisting the threat posed by marasi.

waxillium and marasi -- the young naive woman who is a danger to wax bc of her incursion on his feelings for lessie and on his agreement with steris? who would be an ideal partner but cannot be accepted bc he only knows her outside the bond of marriage? cmon.

in general, all of sanderson's romantic relationships prop up his belief in mormon ideals for romance: highly codified, necessarily recognized by religious/legal authorities, socially agreed upon by men, directed and facilitated by men, often if not entirely driven by the man's need (duty!) to tame or domesticate the woman by taking control of her spiritual world/growth, and, whenever possible, ending in death of one or both partners. this is important bc of the mormon attitude towards celestial marriage. u can probably just google that and get the gist. and then go think abt vin and elend for twenty minutes. 👍

#again: not even scratching the surface on sazed here #or the koloss. or the FUCKING kandra. #or the cosmere at large. #or the . god. the skaa. throwing up in my mouth over the skaa. whatever #this is a very easy example and i otherwise dont want to elucidate i just want to make my mean little posts #ok bye thank u for asking do go and read abt celestial marriage

I’ve learned that bloodhound puppies work like koloss having to grow into their skin

I need a Mistborn (era 2) crossover with Discworld now. Imagine the possibilities. Marasi discussing the role of law enforcement and where its power comes from with Carrot and/or Vimes. Wayne and Nobby bonding over a) stealing (trading) b) crossdressing and c) teaching each other new tricks. Wayne would probably also get along with Moist really well, or establish an immediate rivalry. MeLaan finds out about werewolves and is like "TenSoon, stop moping in your cave, I think you'll like this" and there are discussions about shapeshifting and identity. Wax and Vimes share experiences and cases they've had, and Wax is like "it took me a while to get used to being back in the city but finally I'm at peace with it" and Vimes is like "this city has kicked me in the arse but it's my damn city, why would you ever prefer your Roughs" and both of them bond over suddenly being politicians and the awkwardness of formal events. Vimes is very agnostic while Wax is literally the Sword of Harmony, but neither of them are very fond of gods anyway so it's fine. Everyone's constantly freaking out over how many gonnes Wax and Marasi carry, either morally or practically. Vetinari's looking at Elendel and thinking about how functional it is despite having a barely functional government and semi-weak leaders. Steris and Drumknott get engrossed in accounting and filing systems. Vetinari looks at Steris' plans and wants to hire her, or maybe just observe her to see what she ends up doing; meanwhile Steris is analyzing the Ankh-Morpork political system and why it functions. Wax is appalled by the Assassins Guild and Wayne is fascinated by the Thieves' Guild. The Elendel Constabulary (somewhat normal) meets the Ankh-Morpork City Watch (typically unhinged). Death, a being trying to understand humanity, meets Harmony, a once-human who attained godhood and can barely handle it. Marsh/Ironeyes factors into there somewhere. Wax and Cheery talk about metallurgy and alchemy, and there are explosions. Kelsier pops in from his worldhopping journeys like "Saze, who are these people" and Sazed/Harmony's just like "please don't question it, it's working out pretty well."

#also: the koloss meet the trolls #I think my favourite concepts here are Wayne getting into all kinds of shenanigans in Ankh-Morpork #Death having conversations with Harmony/Sazed #and MeLaan and Cheery giving off two different kinds of radical gender vibes #just some random thoughts idk this is very stream of consciousness #discworld #mistborn

Breeze always insists that he is not controlling people when he Soothes them, yet it is by powerful Push on their emotions that koloss can be controlled.

Strong emotion seems to have been a key to Koloss escaping control, as well as a vulnerability that would make them open to being controlled:

"Only in the throes of a blood frenzy did they have any form of autonomy. [....] Koloss, however, could be taken by a determined regular Push, particularly when they are frenzied." (The Hero of Ages Chapter 66 epigraph)

Emotion & freedom & control are linked.

I just came up with the weirdest head cannon:

The Koloss attacked luthadel in woa on Koloss head munching day. Whether this is the birth of the holiday or simply a coincidence since they’re both during winter i don’t know

Thoughts?

Strive, strive, surmount the obstacles Become the essence of your goals, hereditary dream Pray that you may attain that destiny Fall into the coveted line Where life is but a theme of pretense in lustrous guise

Claims and values, charts of means and status Plaques to show your strife Do your neighbor clones approve? Picture perfect illustration, imitation of life Where the path is evened out, all obstructions removed

Great, viable citizen Are you happy now? Then praise your god and bow

Meshuggah really does have the best lyrics IMO

yeah fuck it. mlp oc now

img id: a pencil drawing of a pegasus bucking with partially outspread wings. the body is gray with blue outlines and the wings, mane, tail, and feathered hooves are black. the head and legs are a darker gray. a yellow tetrahedron is on its flank. faint yellow sparkles float around it. end id.

he's uhhhhh storm flyer. maybe escorts other ponies or does search and rescue type stuff. his mane is cropped short (think fjord horses) but it is always staticky, yknow from flying in lightning storms and whatnot. probably rubs his head against his friends to shock them. don't have a name for him so yell some suggestions at me

#think this is the second time ive posted art on tumblr (other was a vin and koloss) #coloring turned out better than i'd expected i never color things #fortunately i am used to doing blue roans cuz blueflame/stormfire is one and she's all i drew in middle school <3 #i got sooooo good at picking out dark blue-grays on mspaint lemme tell you
