NIGHTS IN NEON

@nightsinneon / nightsinneon.tumblr.com

waiting for that pillowfort invite i guess

the nature of tumblr is that every so often a beloved mutual will reblog a horny picture of a middle aged man and you just have to grin and bear it

“haha that’s never happened to me” I hate to break it to you but if you don’t HAVE a beloved mutual who unwillingly submits you to horny images of middle aged men then you ARE the beloved mutual who unwillingly submits people to horny images of middle aged men

#i've sat in both movies within one week and what can i say?#the batman? my god.#entertaining but in its self-conscious pseudo intellectualization ultimatively nothing but pure ideology#pleasant for the shallow minded but with no true substance#but sonic the hedgehog 2? MY GOD.#a true lacanian example of overcoming the primal avoidance of one's own maturation#sonic the ultimate subject that is unable to truly self actualize yet driven by the need to mature#literally stuck spinning his wheels but going nowhere#challenged by eggman and knuckles: both adults albeit on two opposite ends of the spectrum#knuckles has witnessed the horrors of war and has accepted his subjugated place#he doesnt think in terms of individual identity bur rather in terms of history#the movie goes to show how he has grown up too fast and lost essential parts of himself to fully self-actualize in the process#meanwhile eggman: the black mirror of our hero sonic#self obsessed and infantile in his needs for specific rituals to be performed like a superstitious child#(even the name refers to his infancy: EGGman. hello.)#through eggman sonic is shown what happends if he doesnt give up his infantile identity and recontextualizes his sense of self#now towards the end of the movie SPOILER ALERT we see sonic overcoming his own immaturity by becoming the enlightened super sonic#he only gives up his buddha like existance to return to his societal role as a kid#but this time he is firmly taking a stance within his own self realized maturity right along his newly formed friend knuckles#this movie i'm tellin ya.#remarkable.#sonic the hedghehog 2#the batman

Leon Berkowitz, American Artist, 1911 - 1987.

“I want my work to become part of a mystique, you know – you’re exposed to the experience. This is from a recent note: “Planes and straight lines do not exist. Physics can denote the continuum. It cannot invent it. The high-frequency sound has always been there. The tonality is only pattern discovered in principle. The universe only alters itself in our minds. Creativity is a tuning into the universe and not to alter men’s minds.” I ask you if I’ve altered your mind, I hope. - Leon Berkowitz.
