Jack Marsh (2005), Friendship Otherwise - Toward a Levinasian Description of Personal Friendship

#saw carnation lily lily rose by john singer seargent irl today. it was basically at my doorstep all along idk why i never went to see it #it was placed at a corner in the gallery. me and my friend sat down and sketched the paintings of beautiful naked people quite badly. paper #provided by tate britain. she told me about how she couldnt look her boyfriend in the face after a harrowing film about war. when i say the #interview was informal i mean the person who was supposed to be my boss told me let me get you a cider and then he said after #50 years of life he knows people are inherently good and it only takes a little bit of kindness to save this world. he said he tricked #his wife into keeping the baby and then he said he quit his job at a US bank to help people find meaning and in it #he would have liked to find meaning. instead he started climbing with his friends. he said he chews his cigarettes because its a habit from #when he had to hide things from people. the entire time i felt uncomfortable and incredibly enlightened. this is my friends mentor. she has #his pattern of pauses and expletive and penchant for ends-justify-means attitude. i do think im not very clever #but maybe one day i will love you enough to make up for it. i wrote code i dont understand staring at the final error i thought about how #we both thought of how when we're too old to remember the voices of our friends we would like to stand in the pathway of the LHC beam pipe #cut it open and eat light in the freezing cold vacuum (kills you long before radiation will) the invisible puncture wound unfolding dna #back to the start larger than you ever were. you go to heaven once youve been to hell. my friend is in my bed #practicing calculations of eigenvectors by hand and she is uninterested in a visual proof you are uninterested in incompetence #we catch a train this is your kind of burden you tragic hero wincing at that word you only do this because you have to. im the only one #who can. i am a coward in this for the fucking poetry. the visual proofs. the pretty numbers. an architect who was horrible at maths wanted #to be a philosopher and accidentally ended up neck in deep in 70th Error On Visual Studio Code i want to kiss your eyes before we say #goodbye we both know there is no love in the way there should be. I still have your dress in my wardrobe. i hope you make art.#you think im alright head-wise i think you fucking hate me i think ill never be so clever you want me to tell you my idea?#if you wanted more of this world i would have liked to kiss you harder. we cant both be like this. im sorry i cant be with you the whole wa #the love is gone if you have to ask it. his breath catches his eyes feel stiff it is -1.9 kelvin he is near the beam pipe i miss holding #his hand i miss her singing voice i miss his hair and i found the antonym of pain thank you for carrying me home.

Hi....If you don't mind, can I ask, what are your top 10 (or top 7) favorite media (can be books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series)? Why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before......Thanks....

no worries, im happy to answer. and, if i happened to already answer sth, I'll link u to it.

so, fav medias... hmm...

book(s): the radiant emperor duology

ik it just came out and was only recently finished (like, finished Sept 2023 lol) so this is probably bias speaking but i am extremely taken by She Who Became the Sun and He Who Drowned the World, these books are fckn phenomenal. the gender-fuckery, the exploration of gender and sexual performances, the hidden message of embracing ourselves in all our ugliness and 'deficiency' and making a place for ourselves and ppl like us when others shun us. these books are just!!!

documentaries: immortal egypt (Joanne Fletcher)

i really really love documentaries and this mini series hold a special place in my heart bcs i love history and I've always been fascinated by egypt and Joanne's enthusiasm is just so joyous and infectious, i love it. i put this on repeat in the background when i was doing my graduation project in 2018 lol yea, just me listening to egyptian docu while working my ass off on AutoCAD lol

anime: sarusuberi/miss hokusai

idk how to explain but there's just a quality to this animated film that got me going... like, i adore howl's moving castle but miss hokusai is sth else. it's so peaceful but also deeply profound and visceral somehow.

tv series: aircrash investigation

i love planes, i love the Concorde in particular, but it has nth to do with how cool planes are but with how child-me saw riding planes as a thing that only ppl with money could do. it evolved from there.

i also love mysteries and aircrash investigation is both lol

i remember watching it on tv when i was an adolescent and i was fascinated with the mystery and problem-solving of it all ever since.

movie: the prince of egypt

it's a story about love; love that forgives, love that creates hate, love that divides.

drama: nirvana in fire (c-drama), beyond evil (k-drama), kluen cheewit (thai soap opera)

bl-specific: old fashion cupcake (anime AND manga)

the plot of these dramas is impeccable (tho kluen cheewit is extremely dramatic so pls beware lol), the character developments are fckn amazing, and what's even more important is the platonic relationships between the characters!!!

also, special shout-out to thai bl soap opera khun chai/to sir (with love) as well! the drama is off the charts, the characters are flawed & human & infinitely relatable & Tian & Yang's brotherhood is EVERYTHING

just one of the best bls out there and I've consumed A LOT of BLs/yaois... ALL SORT of em lol

the story is really grounded in reality, the plot is so mundane and relatable, the characters are mature but extremely flawed, and the art (in the case of manga) and the acting (in the case of the series) are amazing.

song: queen bee by vannda (contemporary music from my country)

i DO NOT agree with the lyrics AT ALL but i adore the melody. i absolutely love, love, LOVE how he blends traditional khmer music with the modern one. it's not a necessarily modern take but it's sth different. this artist is very good at blending the old w/ the new and i applaud him for that. his music is so pleasing the ear but the fkcn lyrics... urGH

well, a song of his with message that i completely agree with is time to rise with master Kong Nay... though the mixture is too in my face lol which is why i prefer queen bee

#the radiant emperor #she who became the sun #he who drowned the world #shelley parker chan #miss hokusai #howls moving castle #howl's moving castle #ghibli #studio ghibli #the prince of egypt #nirvana in fire #beyond evil #kleun cheewit #old fashion cupcake #noona96n

The old man heaved a tired sigh. The glow from his lantern glinted off his spectacles, concealing his eyes from view. He murmured a stream of unintelligible words under his breath as he waved his hand through the air in a placid but firm gesture. The mist dissipated in an instant. The attic, in all its archival glory, littered with books and papers and spent inkwells, was visible to the lost girl once more. With that, the apparent Rabbi set about taking stock of the young lady’s ailments. Leaning over her, he murmured something to Guard, who gingerly knelt once again, laying She Who Is Nobody onto the wooden floor, one hand supporting her between the shoulder blades. The old man removed his glasses and smiled at her, kneeling down such that he was eye level with her. He kept his distance, not wanting to alarm her any further than the others had already done a fine job of doing. Her heartbeat was deafening. That even he could hear it spoke volumes. The old man was no vampire, baruch HaShem, but he heard it all the same. This was a definite problem. “Hello, little one,” the old man whispered. “You’ve had a terrible night, haven’t you?”

I call this piece You Reposted in the Wrong Attic.

More character sheets for another Minecraft fic but based on Tangled this time!

I ended up creating a whole magic system, world, and mythology that was so far removed from both Minecraft and Tangled that I just made it an original story, but with those two elements as a base.

#mine #“guys' movies do better than womens' movies”#ok discount the fact that this is coming from someone who's working on a studio that was BUILT on a “woman's movie”#and the fact that it spawned one of the most successful franchises in the world (disney princess line)#a lot of the highest grossing films of all time ARE women's movies???#a good chunk of the old hollywood glory days were based on the “woman's picture”#so like where did this ideology even come from?!#snow white started the studio cinderella saved it and ariel brought it back #the “male” lead movies are what lead us to the dark ages LBR #but sadly i feel like hollywood ended up cosigning jeffrey's statement #as he was one of the most important people during the renaissance and he changed the animation industry with shrek #for better or worse #i think most of his influence today is through shrek #bc lbr modern disney movies are just knockoff shrek // dreamworks movies at this point #ahhh dreamworks...the studio who can't seem to give us a single female led franchise #just like pixar

Normalize non-binary characters who don't dress like total dorks. Normalize non-binary characters who don't remind you of the most exhausting person you knew in drama class. Normalize non-binary characters who look like they'd be happiest bombing around rugged terrain in a 1987 Ford Ranger Bigfoot Cruiser they restored themselves.

Normalize non-binary characters who've never painted so much as a toenail and have no inclination to do so.

Normalize non-binary characters who are hairy, heavy, sweaty, and whose favourite musical group is The California Raisins. Normalize non-binary characters who you can't identify from the other side of a warehouse by sight.

Normalize non-binary characters who look and act like a diverse group of people you might meet in your everyday life because god damn am I sick to death of shows getting praised for 'representation' that never stops feeling like a caricatured Other.

#non-binary #queer #enby #characters #yes I am watching Star Trek Discovery #yes its version of queer feels like it had to pass through six comittees of studio execs #yes its cringey as hell and no amount of 'but isn't it GOOD to see ourselves on screen at all' can makeup for how false it feels #I'm old enough to remember the 90s/00s and the first gay characters we were supposed to applaud for breaking barriers #they were all the same guy #the same catty sexless asshole #(Remember Second City's 'Sassy Gay Friend'? No? Man I'm old)#and it honestly did more harm than good because The Gay was always The Other #and rather than teach the lesson that 'a gay can be anyone around you'#it instead taught the world 'how to recognize a gay'#and even within the queer community we still internalize those fucking paradigms today #see: every self-doubt post going 'am I really [x] if I don't [y]#imagine how much freer the queer community would be if we hadn't internalized that sense of checklist gatekeeping #Am I really gay if i'm not an enormous tool like Kurt Hummel?#and so on #we don't take a lot of steps forward #we take a lot of steps sideways and call it progress because there's technically movement

i've been quiet here to avoid major spoilers (posting them OR seeing them), but i started act 2 last night and holy shit, oh my god, this game is so good. it feels like a cross between playing dnd with the world's most competent DM and reading a really good fantasy novel.

#bog post #bg3 #bog plays bg3 #it feels like it stapled together elements of other games i really enjoyed #the companion dynamics remind me of dragon age (esp DAO)#there's a lot of witcher 3 vibes esp in the way disparate plots tend to flow toward each other #(despite being open world witcher 3's narrative was actually very good and intuitive - i stumbled into it trying to AVOID it #and it felt v natural)#the PC is very expressive despite not being able to audibly speak in dialogues #which is something XIV really started doing in later expansions too #there are other references and similarities i'm sure!#i can only speak to my personal bank of memories and there are lots of other good games out there #and i'm not trying to be competitive or put one thing down to lift another up #but BG3 feels like... the version of DAO that must have been living in the devs' minds?#DAO is ofc like 14 years old and made under very different circumstances #but i think that's BG3's closest point of comparison wrt games from other studios imo #this is how i felt when i really got my hooks into DAO and fell in love with dragon age

[BENDY AND THE FINAL CYCLE] Chapter Two: The Old World

Audrey yawned, stretching as she sat up in her bed. Swinging her legs over the side, she carefully walked to the kitchen, desperate for a cup of coffee. Starting the coffee maker, Audrey glanced into her small office, smiling at the sight of a still-sleeping toon.

Bendy was curled up comfortably in one of Audrey’s desk drawers, a small blanket wrapped around him, and a soft pillow beneath his head. As she moved into the small room, Audrey’s heart sank when she noticed her father’s book was missing.

“No… No, I swear I brought it home last night!” She mumbled, moving things around her desk to see if it had been moved. “I swear…I..” Her stomach twisted as she realized she had left her most important possession at her workplace. her mind raced with worry, thinking only about her friends trapped within the cycle. As she continued searching, hoping she was wrong; movement from Bendy’s drawer snapped her out of her worry. Looking down, Audrey saw the toon looking up at her with tired, questioning eyes. She sighed, and crouched down to his level.

“Hey sweetie,” she smiled softly, helping him out of the drawer. “how’d you sleep?” She asked, walking with him to the kitchen. The sleepy demon shrugged, unable to speak. Audrey sighed, moving to the kitchen to grab her coffee. “So, we have to head back to work today, I may have left the book there..” She said, watching as Bendy’s face changed to one of worry.

“I know, I know” she said, sipping on the warm liquid. “this isn’t ideal, but the sooner we get to my office and find it, the better.” Bendy hid his face behind his hands, shaking slightly. Audrey, sensing his fear, forced a smile. “it’ll be okay, Bendy. I promise.” She said, walking to her room.

“we’ll go in quick and maybe even pop into the cycle to say hi to everyone!” she said, watching how Bendy’s fear disappeared. The young toon grinned, excitement shinning in his eyes. Audrey smiled, closing her door to get dressed.

Upon arriving to Archgate pictures, Audrey left Bendy in her car, promising to be quick. As she walked into the lobby, she saw a few mechanics carrying a strange uncovered box towards the delivery bay. Her heart dropped when she saw the logo on their uniform.

“GENT CORP.” it said, in large grey block lettering. she cursed mentally, seeing her father’s book inside of the open box. Rushing past the mechanics, Audrey made her way to her office; hoping the copy they had wasn’t hers.

once inside her office, Audrey frowned. Her copy wasn’t anywhere in the office, she noticed as she searched through her desk.

“now what..” she muttered, sitting in her chair. running her hand down her face, Audrey looked around. “what do I tell bendy…?” She wondered out-loud, staring at the picture above her desk. Boris, Bendy and Alice smiled down at her, mid-step as if walking.

Congratulations on your success! Your Best Pal, Henry Stein

Audrey gasped, standing from her spot. the neatly written words on the photo in front of her stared at her. Henry could help, she thought, feeling slightly relieved. if I show him Bendy, he might help!

she frowned, eyebrows furrowing. “Now how would I find him?” she said, finding herself wandering towards the elevator. “I wonder if the museum might say anything!” she gasped, heading towards the Joey Drew Museum that was within the studio. walking into it, she felt her heart drop at the sight of a missing ink machine, alongside the missing sacrifices. she scanned the newspapers, photos, anything for a sign as to where the real Henry Stein would be. she stopped short at a small letter, from a Mrs. Stein. it had thanked Joey for the house-warming gift, and how his gift made their move to Pasadena so much smoother. Audrey smiled, heading back outside to bendy.

“Alright, sweetie,” She said, getting into the car. “There’s been a change of plans but… We’re going to save the cycle- one last time.” she explained, heading towards city hall. Bendy looked confused, watching out the window as Audrey drove. “I’m gonna see if his address is public record, and we’re going to ask Henry for help.”

-0-

Yawning, Henry walked out to the small living room; smiling at the sight of his wife sleeping peacefully in her sleeping bag. His daughter, Carrie, was sleeping next to her- the remnants of a birthday sleepover strewn across the room. Henry felt his heart swell as he moved towards his desk carefully, an idea forming in his head. within minutes, Henry had the Kitchen decorated like a diner, complete with a sign.

“Dad’s Dashin’ Diner.” he smiled at the sign, and started to quietly prepare Carrie’s birthday breakfast. He turned on the coffee maker, pulling out two mugs in preparation of the beloved drink. As he got the first stack of pancakes ready, he heard his daughter waking Linda.

“Mommy, mommy look..!” she whispered, pointing towards the kitchen. She giggled, and Henry smiled wide. Carrie appeared in the doorway with Linda, who was rubbing sleep out of her eye when she saw Henry. “Daddy’s making breakfast!”

“Welcome to Dad’s Dashin’ diner!” Henry exclaimed putting on a fake accent. “Are you Carrie? I got news from an old pal of mine that today’s your birthday!” Carrie giggled at him, nodding. her toothy grin spurred Henry on, expertly flipping a pancake.

“yes! I turn 8 years old today!” She explained, climbing into one of the chairs at the breakfast bar. “you know this, daddy!” she giggled more, watching with awe as Henry prepared a plate. he placed it in front of her, a whipped cream and strawberry face decorating the top of the stack.

“Happy Birthday Carrie,” He smiled, handing his wife a cup of coffee. She smiled at him, silently thanking him for it. as he moved to make himself and Linda a plate of food the doorbell rang. “Oh, I got it.” He said, taking the apron he wore off.

walking over to the door, Henry opened it and saw a short ebony-haired woman standing on the other side. Her green eyes squinted when she smiled at him. “Hello, are you Henry Stein?” she asked. Henry nodded, slightly confused.

“yeah,” he cleared his throat, offering her a smile. “I’m sorry, but I don’t…I don’t think I know you?” He said, slightly apologetic. The woman nodded, understandingly.

“My name is Audrey…” She said, “Audrey Drew. you knew my father.” She explained. “There’s a lot to explain but-” Henry stared at the woman, shocked.

“you’re Joey Drew’s daughter..?” He questioned, watching as she nodded. “he must’ve gone really low to send you all the way out here to get me to visit the studio-”

“Joey died, two years ago.” Audrey interrupted kindly, watching as Henry stepped back. “I know, It’s a lot to take in. I’m so sorry.” she explained, glancing behind her. “There’s more too…” Audrey stepped out of the way, and Henry’s jaw dropped.

“Bendy..” he said, stepping outside and carefully closing the door behind him. “he’s real.” The small cartoon stepped closer to him, reaching for his hand. Henry knelt down, holding out his hand to him. Bendy smiled at him, grabbing it. “heh, hey kiddo..” he whispered, smiling back.

“I need your help, Henry.” Audrey said, causing the man to look up at her. “People I care about are in trouble” She stated. “People Bendy care about are in trouble…please. Can you help us…?” Henry stood, glancing into the window where he saw his wife helping Carrie clean up breakfast.

“I don’t understand,” He said, looking back at her. “Who’s in trouble?” Audrey sighed, looking tired.

“My father, he created this world,” She said, looking away. “He called it The Cycle. he made versions of the people that hurt him…That left him, to torment.” She looked back at Henry, her eyes sad. “he eventually styled a script, surrounding the person that hurt him the most.”

“Me..” Henry realized, his stomach twisting. “I left him in 1930, it…wasn’t pretty.” He said, not wishing to remember that day.

“That’s another thing. this…Cycle version of you…He has false memories. He thinks he left the studio in ‘33. I inherited this world…I’ve been trying to make it better; make this other version of you suffer less.” She explained. “but all that’s in danger, because the machine and the book it lives in was stolen from me…” Henry nodded, somehow believing her.

“I..I can help, but I need to be back by the end of the day,” He said, opening the door again. “It’s my daughter’s eighth birthday, I don’t wanna miss it.”

“that’s okay, We shouldn’t take too long” Audrey smiled, grabbing Bendy’s hand. “I know where it’s gone, we Just need to get it back.”
