I’m a big fan of percy jackson! the og series 😊 I’m super excited for the show as well!
my favorite color is orange or maybe brown but when it comes to edits I tend to like browns and greens and pale tones and reds and black&white the most!
honestly I don’t have any major preferences! I think one thing is that I would prefer a gift that isn’t focused on a music artist, though I’d be delighted if you included lyrics in your gift (if that’s the vibe you wanna go for)! I like sibling bonds and final girls and romances. and I’m just really excited for this event and I’m looking forward to whatever you decide to create! I hope you have fun with it! if you have any more questions or need more options, lmk! I’ll be happy to provide some ⛄️ I hope you’re doing well and I hope you have a good weekend!!
You know, it can be nice sometimes to have a void to speak to every now and again. :D
What can I say, Insomnia’s a pain.
So, here we are! I am sometimes amazed at how content it is possible to be, and how sharply that contentment contrasts with the sheer nihilistic depression that can take hold in an instant, the sheer overwhelming insanity of life. I wonder sometimes if my quest for contentment is spawned by a heavy preponderance of some of the classic gibli films during my formative years. When my grandfather died, he willed a large chunk of his Gibli collection to my brothers and I - one film for each of us, and those films have a tendency to idealize and to emphasize the simple beauty of normal life. Sofie sitting in a chair and admiring the landscape, the fact that nothing looked as tasty as the toast and egg that Pazu and Sheeta split in a random cave looking up at Etherium crystals that no one could mine, the Joy Nausicaa felt returning home to her own Valley of the Wind (There was a moment when the wind stopped in the valley where I grew up and I was surprised at how unsettled I felt) - I used to spend hours trying to create a cohesive history for all of the films- especially the Gibli originals, because given that they all shared aesthetics, they all looked like they could feasibly be from the same universe - but always, It hit me that these characters were happiest when they were enjoying the simple beauties of life.
This probably sparked my love of art as well - I am by no means a professional artist, but I love to create, love to paint, draw, and to try to capture the physical world around me. I used to lay down on the lawn and simply stare up through the leaves, letting the emerald light filter down through maple leaves or the tiny oval shaped leaves of the black locust trees in our yard like liquid gold through jade. I remember going up into Byce canyon - you could see it from our window - and simply admiring the view of the ampitheatre, making stories out of the different shapes, sculpting the Hoo Doos with my mind, as one would watch the clouds. I would stare out across Kodachrome and feel my breath catch in my chest at the sheer beauty of the place I didn’t know was a desert, because It was simply my home. The feral beauty of a Jackrabbit tearing away from me at full speed, the joy of bounding down a hill with reckless abandon, the thrill of exploring canyons. The feeling of cool stone under my hands, convinced that If I tried hard enough it would whisper to me the stories of the world, the stories that had been long lost to time.
I’ve been pulled from the brink of suicidal thoughts by the simplest of pleasures - the comfortable feeling of my favorite chair as I sip hot chocolate or Mate (an aquired taste) or simply listening to the hum of the fan as I feel the warm presence of my wife beside me. The ability to sit- to be still for a moment- and enjoy life was one that I made a point to learn, through the haze of ADHD and an incessant need to be DOING something, through the shape pang of depression and meaninglessness that strike me from time to time, I made a point to enjoy the simple pleasures for the simple reason that it brought some of my favorite characters from film so much peace.
This is probably a large part of why I like martial arts as well - It’s a very sensory experience. The more time you do martial arts, the more you tend to live in your sensory memory. A lot of my experiences don’t even make it into my short term memory, simply because they do not need to. I am EXPERIENCING, and that is it’s own joy. The feeling of my muscles tensing and relaxing, the snapping of my body as I lock my joints at the right moment to crush brick and stone, or to snap through wood with barely a second thought. It is satisfying- but I find the most peace in the forms. Flowing from movement to movement, like embracing an old friend. Hyungs learned in the WTSDA that have been ingrained into my body since youth, that I have made a point to try to perfect and improve for almost two decades now. It is the peace of being in the moment, and it is very likely the reason I am alive.
It’s helped me through dark times, and through spurts of sheer blind rage, and has helped me to re-claim my sense of self, of being, when I feel that I will simply dissolve in a dissociative spell of mindless apathy. It lets me sit here in peace, comfortable in the dark of my living room, sipping away at one drink or another, arms resting comfortably on the table. I think, I dream, as I have to, I am of the daydreaming variety of ADHD after all - but also , I take a moment to simply enjoy the silence. The humming of the dozens of machines that we never pay attention to, whose constant hum and drone is simply another piece of the endless background noise of our modern lives.
I like nights like these - when it is easy to smile, even when it is hard to sleep, and I can accept that while my life will be insignificant to many, it matters to a select few - to my students, to my wife and family, to my brothers, to the people I try to help along my blind and clumsy journey through life.
Some things are constant.
Leaves are beautiful in their infinitely fine geometry.
The warmth of the sun is a constant reminder that I am alive.
The stone will always be hard and strong under my hand, and sandstone I love the best.
Even if I lose a limb, I will still have my arts.
This I think - might be a large part of how to survive adulthood. Little things bring joy to our lives. Happiest is the one who learns to cherish those little things while they drift by on the dispassionate winds of time.
