Hey, everyone. I’m re-blogging this because I’ve been going down this list and so far @lysistra​ is batting 1.000. She’s an industrial / synthwave diplomat who’s a huge part of the scene and has seen at least a few of these artists before, so she knows her stuff. For anyone who wants some new Summer heat or Winter ice, here you go. And don’t forget to thank her when you’re done.

i love when people get up in arms about kink as like a "new perverted phenomenon" bc of their boogeyman obsession with porn. brother gay people have been slapping each other and pretending to be dogs while we fuck since the dawn of time. you're only just finding out now bc your hole is largely unremarkable and your manner unbecoming

male gaze is not 'when person look sexy' or 'when misogynist make film'

death of the author is not 'miku wrote this'

I don't think you have to read either essay to grasp the basic concepts

death of the author means that once a work is complete, what the author believes it to mean is irrelevant to critical analysis of what's in the text. it means when analysing the meaning of a text you prioritise reader interpretation above author intention, and that an interpretation can hold valid meaning even if it's utterly unintentional on the part of the person who created the thing. it doesn't mean 'i can ignore that the person who made this is a bigot' - it may in fact often mean 'this piece of art holds a lot of bigoted meanings that the author probably wasn't intentionally trying to convey but did anyway, and it's worth addressing that on its own terms regardless of whether the author recognises it's there.' it's important to understand because most artists are not consciously and vocally aware of all the possible meanings of their art, and because art is communal and interpretive. and because what somebody thinks they mean, what you think somebody means, and what a text is saying to you are three entirely different things and it's important to be able to tell the difference.

male gaze is a cinematographic theory on how films construct subjectivity (ie who you identify with and who you look at). it argues that film language assumes that the watcher is a (cis straight white hegemonically normative) man, and treats men as relatable subjects and women as unknowable objects - men as people with interior lives and women as things to be looked at or interacted with but not related to. this includes sexual objectification and voyeurism, but it doesn't mean 'finding a lady sexy' or 'looking with a sexual lens', it means the ways in which visual languages strip women of interiority and encourage us to understand only men as relatable people. it's important to understand this because not all related gaze theories are sexual in nature and if you can't get a grip on male gaze beyond 'sexual imagery', you're really going to struggle with concepts of white or abled or cis subjectivities.

:whispers: also Death of the Author means you have to exercise self-criticism and recognise the bias YOU as the audience bring to interpreting a piece of work. Yes, your reading is valid. But to what extent are you extrapolating from your own experiences, privileges & lacks of privilege, past traumas, etc.? How might this affect your interpretation of the text?

More people need to understand that part, too.

I think we should have a turn of phrase for "I'm not in the right, but I AM annoyed with this situation, so I just need to go bitch to a friend about this before I suck it up and go do the right thing" because more and more I'm finding this is a critical element of functional adulthood.

(x)

Various tags on this post like "isn't that venting?" "isn't that kvetching?" and sure it's a subcategory of that. But those are missing the key detail of this specific case which is the "I'm not in the right."

It's the "fuck I'm NOT in the right, I GET that, I WILL be mature about this, I WILL just suck it up, I WON'T take it out on the person who's annoying me because they haven't actually done anything wrong, but by satan's spicy asshole I AM annoyed. So I'm gonna spend 5 minutes in private being a dramatic bitch about it before I get over it and go be a perfectly civil reasonable adult about it."

This is important.

Acknowledge the fact it's okay to be wrong and annoyed about it. Vent the frustration.

Put your adult undies on and be responsible for resolving the issue.

We need to embrace the fact that the tumblr userbase is aging. What’s everybody’s favorite kitchen appliance?

fuck "girl lunch" fuck "girl math" a woman is a hairy animal who sweats and grunts and excretes and hungers and gets wrinkly and dies eventually. you have to love that.

a woman is one of many types of beast

follow up poll bc i like polls

the imperial chinese examinations are a godsend for enjoyers of pathetic historical men such as myself. they gave rise to so many types of guy, such as: guy who failed the examinations like forty times and despondently wrote one of the great works of chinese literature between failures; guy who failed like ten times and decided “you know what? this is bullshit. this all has to go” and started a brutal peasant uprising; guy who just barely passed and was suddenly thrown into a very high military position, which he has ABSOLUTELY no training for; and guy who failed several times, faked a degree, got hired by harvard to teach chinese, had his fake degree discovered after he got to boston, begged harvard to let him teach because otherwise it would be really embarrassing for them all, taught like seven students, and died of pneumonia

you're forgetting that part where the guy who led that peasant revolt not only failed the exams, he failed the exams so hard he has a nervous breakdown mystical visions and decuced that he was the brother of jesus christ and he had to rid the world of demon worship (confucianism). And he and his brother had custom demon slaying swords for this exact purpose. and then peasant revolt they led ended up in 20 MILLION dead.

see it’s about perspective

no sé mucho de otros países pero acá hay varias leyendas venezolanas y algunos mitos tmb recopilados. cada uno tiene varias versiones pero acá hay una lista de diversos que me sé yo que se me vienen a la cabeza:

y bueno!!! esas son algunas que me acuerdo!!!!! creo que me pasé un poquito pero me encantan las leyendas venecas desde que tengo memoria hasta el punto de que las uso de inspiración en mis propias historias y arte.

espero que sirva de algo pq enserio son tantas y tan variadas y tan divertidas de ver que un post de Tumblr solito no le hacen justicia

estoy usando ésto para tmb poner algunas páginas de las versiones que conocía de algún lado lol. es un ganar-ganar aquí. pero yo suelo leer son libros de leyendas de latam o de Venezuela pues. los libros escritos por gente de la zona son los más entretenidos)

igual pregúntale a gente de diversos países y de diversas sub culturas pq leyendas como la creación del ser humano de los inca es muy diferente a leyendas de creación de los wayuu por ejemplo

disfruta :)
