the reason why he moved on from his breakup that quick and went back to thinking about his childhood friend right after :
“Phoenix is aa4 is ooc” no that’s just what hanging around kristoph for seven years does to a guy. “Ema in aa4 is so ooc” no that’s just what hanging around Klavier for five minutes does to a guy

My uncle, who grew up a poor immigrant on a pig farm, became a heart surgeon and keeps marrying into wealth. His third wife is from old money. She’s very sweet and I do love her to death but she’s completely out of touch with anyone who is not born wealthy. She told me “Oh you simply MUST rent a villa in Italy for a summer. It’s so great.” Bless my uncle, he just started laughing his ass off and said, “Joan, normal people don’t do that.”
She was so confused.

So, Boris Johnson wrote an essay in which he talked about the Sistine Chapel and then said : “There is nothing like it in Muslim art of that or any age, not just because it is beyond the technical accomplishment of Islamic art, but because it is so theologically offensive to Islam.”
BITCH
NOT TO MENTION the fact that the prohibition against direct images in Islam was actually the reason for the development of the incredible advances in higher mathematics of the Islamic Golden Age because they were required to create these structures. The Islamic World basically took the ban on images as a “hold my beer” thing and created an entire artistic culture based on mathematics and architecture where art and science fed into and glorified each other, 700 years before the Italian Renaissance.
In conclusion
i will say that islamic art drove me nuts as a kid because i did not have the math knowledge or capability to create such geometric patterns. it may have been the art of my people but by gOD it was difficult and unnecessarily difficult. however my pride in islamic art is neverending. it was frowned upon to be vain in the house, so artists would deck out the places of worship - but places of worship couldn’t be too garishly decorated, or it might detract from worship! the compromise? calm blues and greens, intricate details hidden into the complex patterns. carefully mapped out and planned patterns that were beyond complex and straight into deliberately confusing and practically impossible to replicate. not only that, but verses from the Quran were hidden along the walls, asking god for blessings and care.
muslim art is stunning and i’ll fight the bitch that says otherwise.
Also something underappreciated about the Islamic art is that not only is it geometrically incredible, but the geometry and structure of it has a purpose. In the niches and ceilings, the cascading ornamentation is used for acoustic purposes. In many of the mosques, they are so well laid out and designed that a single person standing on a specific spot can speak/sing/pray and be heard in every single part of the building.
I feel like this should be considered under the same heading as “fascists don’t like abstract art.”
Like, that’s a whole thing. If you look at the art favored by dictators and fascists, it’s almost entirely portraits and landscapes. (Nice, serene, pastoral landscapes, though. None of that war-torn realism stuff.) Rarely still-lifes, unless there’s also a person in the picture. It’s literally common enough to be considered a phenomenon. And while Islamic art isn’t abstract in the sense we usually use the word, it certainly does not include portraits or serene pastoral landscapes. Just, you know. Considering who said this. Something to consider.
must we finish fic??? is it not enough to write unconnected 300 word snippets with no beginning or end, forever, until we die?
I've been meaning to do some kind of comic based on the events of Farewell, My Turnabout since I played it last summer, so here's something a little bit amped up from Phoenix's canon reaction to Edgeworth's return mixed with my own reaction to it (I was so relieved to see him)
