what kind of hobbies does machete have, and is there any artist, musical or visual, that he likes in particular?

He's an avid reader and has an impressive personal library. Crowds and big public events aren't his thing but he enjoys going to theatre and opera occasionally. He commissions and collects art, I'd like to believe he's a patron to at least a couple of painters and sculptors. If I had to pick one artist to be his favorite, I think it might be an obvious choice but I'd have to go with Caravaggio, a contemporary of his.

#look at that chiaroscuro #moody dramatic violent religious Caravaggio #I'm not sure if Machete would be able to afford his services he was already lauded and in high demand in his lifetime #but it's fiction let me believe #fun fact he's one of those famous painters that are frequently speculated to have been gay #he showed up painted some of the most influential works in european art history lived a turbulent life murdered a guy and died young #I keep being bummed about the fact that I can't make Machete a Bernini fanboy #Bernini fits his vibes #but he's very likely already dead by the time Bernini's career kicks off their timelines don't align very well at all #answered #anonymous #Machete

I had an idea for the clockers. And each LL member has a timekeeping device to physically show them how much time they still have left. Not sure if i like the grainy more vintage vibe of the 1st one. Also i just cracked my back super loud so i suppose i should take a break…

that post-work crash nap

[ALT ID: A digital illustration of two people napping on top of each other on a wicker chaise.]

#tumblr user fantasiavii if u see this pls know your tags cracked me up enough i almost made this way post canon #to when these two would have their older tats #but unfortunately the siren song of mid-twenties disasters is just. too relatable #my art #story: tcp #calsir #ch: callebero #ch: sirion #things that happen immediately after this: #a) Callebero's neck cramps up from going straight from hunching over his desk to passing out like this #b) Sirion tries to sit up in concern and discovers his hair is caught in Callebero's ring chain #c) his arms are also both completely dead from being pinned between caleb's weight and the wooden frame #d) callebero's legs are also not doing great after having sirion + half his equipment draped on top of them #e) two of arradine's most lauded military strategists and warriors are defeated by a poorly timed nap & wind up fully on their asses on the #floor

FINALLY FINISHED MY LAUDES ILLUSTRATION OH MY GOD. Wanted to draw her as the goddess she is to me 🥹, got really inspired by the painting St. John the Baptist by Guido Reni.

I'm super glad that it came out exactly how I envisioned it, even if some details were painful to do 😩.

Te amo, Laudes 💜.

christ almighty some people are sad fucking miseries huh

#red said #all art that is rewarded by capitalism must be actively preventing you resisting Hegemonic power abloobloobloobloo #fuck me get over yourself #is art a powerful tool for propaganda subject to corporate capture? yes #is art necessary to be human? also yes #all art carries the weight of the society it exists in. and yes revolutionary art is either buried or defanged by the power it protests #so no you're unlikely to see like. Art That Smashes The System on a large scale. the revolution will not be televised. #art is not going to change the world but art can change you. and you change the world be existing in it. #and you are changed and resonated with in ways that are many and unpredictable bc people resonate differently with different things #capitalism isn't. a conspiracy. it's an ideology and system of power. #it's human. and can we be real if there's one thing I'm learning from this EEAAO thing it's that people are really blind #to messages that fully don't land with them #capitalism isn't some infallible godking who foils your every move. art that moves you can still move you #the criticism that art which is lauded by the authorities cannot be truly anti-capitalist art is one thing #to extend that to say art which is lauded by the authorities cannot be positively meaningful AT ALL and can only be counterrevolutionary #is HOG FUCKING WILD like. first off. think about any work of art you can name from the last 1000 years. #guess what. probably a product of the patronage of power. political philosophy too. making art costs. gaining an audience costs. #we exist within a network of systems of power. even within underground and independent art scenes structures of power play in #nonetheless. we require art. #and art is not just for direct political confrontation. art is an act of connection and resonance. #never mind art that's inadequately revolutionary - art that's entirely capitalist is ALSO capable of positive political impact #because a) it acts on people. and politics. is a frame around people. the point of opposing unjust hierarchy is to achieve wellbeing #like. why are you doing politics if not for people? who is it for? for the abstract symbolism of moral purity? #and b) because art is a frame for building your sense of the world. And you bring your own stuff to that. #if you're radically inclined then reading idk les mis can leave you with the idea that revolution is futile. #or with the sense that there's deep vitality and importance to holding your ground against unjust power despite the knowledge of the odds #or with the sense that revolution is personal not political #or with the sense that the personal is metaphorical for the political and that our drive is to act against the law to protect each other #it depends what you bring to the text

[venacoeurva]

Sorry 2 open a can of worms potentially but sometimes I think about how there are people out there that took the 36 lessons as literal and truth and questioned nothing about them and don’t view them as carefully tailored propaganda and metaphorical and symbolic in many instances, and uh

#It comes across to me as something scholars and philosophers would conclude mostly aren't literal #but less educated or low literacy citizens would laud them as incredible literal feats #in fact mostly anything about the tribunal is propaganda really #which unquestioning reverence is what they would WANT #not art #vena vents #people are very gross with taking the molag bal one as literal and not a huge symbolic description of a rape scene

He is complete...

Who told people on this site that things they don't like are also objectively bad bc I would like to have a word with them

#the elaborate metanalaysis I've seen people do trying to justify their dislike of something on this website... #like it's okay guys you can just not like critically acclaimed pieces of media lauded with awards #they will not notice or care about your dislike sitting way up there on their laurels #you do not have to write an entire essay about why everyone agrees actually that it is objectively bad #and anyone who doesn't is intellectually inferior and not a true art fan like you

[anipologist]

Just can’t get over TROP looking over at

1) Gil-Gilad, who was probably about the elven equivalent of 17 when he ran out of kingly relatives and ended up high king of the Noldor…a people known for their patience, staid outlook on life and long-lived kings. (Just kidding they are absolutely insane…and their kings without fail all died fighting literal Satan, werewolves, balrogs, dragons and more balrogs…)

2) Celebrimbor, grandson of Feanor and son of flipping Curufin, hopelessly in love with his married cousin, only one of his family to not swear an insane curse, his uncles include Maedhros and Celegorm, friend to Narvi of the dwarves and literal Satan 2.0

And thought “let’s make them stodgy…washed-up politician types with terrible taste in curtains....sorry...clothes! That sounds about right!”

#tolkien elves #anti trop #anti rings of power #anti rop #rings of power critical #jrr tolkien #second age #the problem of amazon #rings of commercialization #critique of rings of power #remember the noldor are the kind of people who hold a woman renowned for her skill in fabric arts up as a lauded craftswomen #they all look like the human equivalent of stale fruitcake

[grapecaseschoices]

as the time approaches us, i just wanted to say that i am IMMEDIATEY sus of anyone who does not have an F mc (mainly @ those who have an mc for each ro EXCEPT F Hauville) and/or (doubly sus) doesn’t have any F content on their blog. 

as someone who's also black myself I definitely agree with the F hauville not being as popular, specially since friends to lovers seems to be quite a popular trope in if, specially when the character in question is white or ambiguously light brown/tan skinned, but the author never mentions where the character is actually from (I wish more authors put where the character is from in terms of ethnicity and nationality because the amount of white washed art/erased ethnic features in art I've seen generally in the IF community is not cute but anyways). I do have some problems with the way F and M are portrayed and treated by the author at times, specially when it comes to some of the racial stereotypes used and the portrayal of Sin, an assyrian character in Book 3 as a trapped man, but that's a point for another day. I absolutely adore Wayhaven but I do wish that F was treated better by the fandom. I think sometimes some fans kind of infantilise F and just brush them off as the sassy best friend with no other role in the story, which is kind of sad because if you actually play they're route you get to see that theres more to them than meets the eye in the same way that the other ros do.

why do i need to say more when you already said it all so well anon?

bloop! what more can i say to this? this is true facts. like i get that sometimes a lot of people ARE tired of that trope -- especially on tumblr; and people do love the angsty. But it is STILL a very popular trope for a reason. And I've seen with my own eyes how the sweet RO/best friend RO goes well over when they aren't black (and in certain circumstances, when they aren't a person of color period -- but especially when they aren't black*) that I can't fully buy that the preference argument isn't back with some racial bias. But whatever, people can make peace with themselves about it. I will remain sus.

have you been reading my brain anon? because that was going to be my NEXT bitchy/vent post. But I was like let me pace the dashes. But respect for put it all out there.

I need writers to bring back putting descriptions on their intro posts (they did it for a time but stopped) or doing a description post immediately. 1) Because of what you stated and 2) because I want to make sure I'm not wasting my time on a game that is fully white. /shrugs. I mean I guess it is good that, if they feel they can't write minoroities not to include them at all -- because as you said, I wouldn't want to invest in a story where the black and brown characters are then treated stereotypically. But that still doesn't mean that I want to read a story where the majority is white and the lone amibigously brown/East Asian RO is barely developed.

No, do go on anon. (When you feel like it that is!) I'd love to read your thoughts. I do think Sera has improved in respects of her writing of F and M as characters in the story, both in and out of their own routes. However, I do agree that the whole Sin thing did make me side-eye hard. I heard she's gotten sensitivity readers, so we shall see how that goes.

Well stated. This is, in the crux, is my frustration of the matter. That and the fact that this is STILL an issue. As I stated in my tags, I HAVE seen improvement -- but just going through the F Hauville tag shows how much F is still a general afterthought to the general tumblr fandom.

#f hauville #twc #interactive fiction #my anons are so big brained #how about yours? #grapecase answers #the wayhaven chronicles #twc meta #*now there are exceptions: leo from lure of the gallows is a very popular black best friend ro #(but from what i can recall leo isn't dark skiinned. and leo is also the ONLY one i can think of) #speaking of that infantalization is why i was hesitant to reblog that one f fanart #with the arrow #it is interesting how experience shapes one's outlook -- bc as a black person that was immediately in the forefront of my mind #like if reblogging an art where f looks younger was enabling the treatment #i ended up reblogging it bc i didnt feel anything malicious wa meant but it's a reminder of how different our fandom experience is from a #white person's. #especially re: characters that look like us #and it sucks. and its tiring #(i mean sometimes it can be joy. and i love being black and lauding black characters. but man fandom is such such an intense microcosm of #the real world. and taht can be so annoying. #especially with how some of yall engage -- smh.)

[subternia]

I think if we were to get anywhere in regards to conversation about what type of art should or should not exist we first have to assess whether the person views art as a matter of pure aesthetics or art as a matter of pure principle

#wizardtexts #and I'm referring to certain styles of art being lauded as inherently useless and without value #bc people are more than eager to fall straight into the slippery slope due to personal bias

[love-towhomitmayconcern]

I was going for something like a fashion magazine, but was only willing to commit to the bit so far.
