They're so deliberate about showing that Eliot is not playing a role when he's The Chef in French Connection. He doesn't use an alias, he doesn't restrain himself from being harsh or from being sincere, his food speeches to the class are very similar to the ones he gives Parker, he bickers with Hardison just like always --- he's just being himself.
And then in the end, the "head on a platter" conversation just as directly tells us that he is playing the role of The Hitter. He's not being himself, he planned and considered how to act the part. If only for one episode, he got to feel like The Chef was the real him and The Hitter was just a character he played.
Happy pride month
ok so, I approached my local library with a proposal to donate a mural as a way to A: build portfolio/gain practical experience and B: give back to a beloved public institution. The director was very enthusiastic about it and i've been working on it since the beginning of March. Come with me as I endeavor to paint what is in all honesty an excessive amount of birds
I wanted the birds to look like they were actually in the space so first thing after doing the draft was to do a lighting study
after that I covered the walls in letters in lieu of a projector/vr headset bc i have neither of those :) Then i take a picture of the section of wall and superimpose the lineart over top of it so I can pencil in the lines
et voila
and that was a whole week on it's own so next comes the paintin' >:)
and now, the birds
Birds 1 and 2/14: Red Winged Blackbird, Male and female, Agelaius phoeniceus
Bird 3/14, American Robin, Turdus migratorius
hoo boy, ok *out of breath*
GIVE IT UP FOR BIRD NUMBUH 5, THE CANADIAN GOOSE, Branta canadensis!!!!
this guy took me about 4 days to completely finish, all of those freakingk coverts were a bear to render
speaking of obnoxious coverts:
bird 5/14, Bluejay, Cyanocitta cristata
the friggin stripes almost got me chat, i may not make it
Madam....
birds 6 and 7: American Goldfinch, Spinus tristis, male and female
pleasantly simple to paint! next is the flickerrrrr
*melts into goo*
BIRD NUMBER 8, (yellow shafted) NORTHERN FLICKERRRRR, Colaptes auratus
genuinely made me start questioning my sanity around day 3, it's half the size the of the goose, WHY did it take me 4 days to finish??
nothing but pain and suffering, i'm sure hope the next bird will be much easier and with FAR less barring :)
in other news, I am losing my mind hairline
SHE'S DONE!!
Bird number 9: Red-tailed hawk, Buteo jamaicensis
my chains are broken i am FREE. although i did have a great deal of fun with this, the barring on the wings itself took me like four days and i am READY to move on
this was a week and a half of continuous work so please excuse me for getting a little emotional in the bg 🙏
*does a little jig*
BIRD NUMBER 10!!! The Male Mallard Duck, Anas platyrhynchos
the male and female ones are gonna be posted separately bc they're taking a lot longer lol but yea! super happy i was able to capture the iridescent green of the head, i found metallic green and blue paint at a craft store that really made his head POP. it looks better in person i promise
ALSO!! As this is the 10th one, BIG announcement. The end is in sight!!!!! I plan to finish within the next 3 weeks and there will be a small dedication ceremony/ unveiling happening at the library to commemorate its completion on the 16th of May. If you live in the Western New York region and want to check it out for yourself shoot me a dm!
Also thank you everyone for your kind words and support throughout this whole process, it's been a genuine treat thinking there are potentially thousands of you out there cheering me on while I paint this 🥹
aaaand another one bites the duck,
we're movin right along with bird numero 11!! The lady Mallard!! Anas platyrhyncos
the 16th is looming in the distance so i'm trying to get thru these as quickly as i can so i can have as much time for the GBH as possible. i still need to do the names next to all of them so i've got about a week and a half to finish everything which is GREAT because i have adhd and nothing gets my ass in gear like a fuckin deadline, let me tell you
power couple that they are, here's bird number 12 and 13,
the Northern Cardinals, Cardinalis cardinalis
and NOW that they are complete, ITS GO TIME, in the next five days (library's closed for mother's day 😭😭) i need to have the GBH fully rendered, the names of the birds vectored, weeded, masked, applied to the wall, and then painted, plus additional cattails throughout. I may be able to get away with just getting the GBH done in time for the unveiling and then just have the names and cattails added later, but i'm gonna really try to get it all done in time. BUT, i have a plan. Part of why i take so long on these is because i really am just figuring it out as I do it lmao. there have been many a time where i am sitting on top of the ladder googling "how to paint birds" but I think if i take the time tomorro to do all that figuring out how to approach it beforehand, this will go a lot faster. I may also recruit some of my artist friends to help with the placing of the names... hrmm we'll see.
Anyways, shout out to the librarian who tracked down exactly the thing i needed so i could figure out where to place the highlights in my birds eyes, ur the real mvp
thanks for the reminder, kid

u can just do whatever at any age all of the time nobody cares except teenagers
teenager will be like ur 40 with a hobby ? 💀 that’s sad <- nobody else thinks this way though they are just going through some stuff
I saw this video about a doctor who performed an MRI on a 5 year old and discovered she essentially had “brain damage” from excessive iPad use, as the white matter in her brain couldn’t form properly due to an understimulated environment.
Hmm it’s almost like there’s supposed to be adult figures responsible for monitoring her screen time and making sure she develops properly… certainly this isn’t the result of neglect at the hands of her parents…
“This 5 year old is brain damaged by excessive iPad use”
Translation: This 5 year old is developmentally impaired by neglectful parents who used an iPad as a stand-in for social and environmental stimulation / interaction for hours at a time during critical early stages of child development. The iPad is the cop-out.
“Children don’t have the strength to hold pencils anymore because they only use screens.”
Translation: Parents aren’t making the conscious effort to help their children develop necessary skills and letting iPads raise them.
When are people going to realize the iPads and whatnot are the instruments through which the neglect is happening through and not the cause? How the fuck do you let your child have such a severe lack of physical strength in their hands that they can’t hold a pencil properly?
People will see a study suggesting children with higher screen times have poorer or negative developmental outcomes and immediately say it’s the screens causing this, and not the more likely fact that higher screen time = less engagement time with their environment, physical exercise, parents, family, and their peers, all of which are NECESSARY for a healthy upbringing as a social species.
It’s like saying a dog who was kept in a cage all its life and left with atrophied muscles was damaged by the cage, and not by the fact its owners were too lazy to play or walk their dog in order for its muscles to build properly. The cage is the instrument of neglect and the owners are the perpetrators, in the same way parents are the perpetrators and weaponizing screen time as an excuse and painting themselves as helpless bystanders.

explode me pls
actually pigs shouldn't be at pride even outside of uniform. fuck those guys
if you decide to become a police officer then that outweighs any other marginalised identity you can rustle up like. not sorry, who asked you to willingly become a pig
I have heard of black people warning their kids that the race of a police officer is cop and you should not expect solidarity from them. The same applies to other types of minorities.
The sexuality of a police officer is cop.
The gender of a police officer is cop.
When you become the enforcer and protector of capital, you are making the deal to be slightly favored by the system over others like you, in exchange for being its servant. Your solidarity is with the system that you serve, even if it hates you.
If you want solidarity with those the system hates, you cannot be the system's servant and defender.
I dunno, guys I want to become a soldier/cop when I get older, but with how many people having been hating on it, I feel like I could genuinely get more dangerous threats if I say that I genuinely went through with it and went to a Youth Cadet Academy... (which i'm about to) It's simply conflicting, as I've dreamt of being a cop and/or a soldier since I was little and having the ultimate honour of having my two last names to wear on my chest is the honour I want to wear. But I'm not so sure on how I can do that, if my choice will cause other people to feel free enough to call me a "pig." If I can't become a cop or a soldier, what else can I become? I don't know what else to do, as I've always wanted to prove to my family that I could do it too, that I could be like my grandpa and wear a silver medal.
I will be blunt. Those are both professions where you sign up to participate in incredible violence against mostly innocent people, with a few possibly legitimate targets for force thrown in there. But the violence you might participate in can be so extreme that it defines people's life experiences forever after - assuming they very to have a life.
That can, should, and likely will have reputational impacts for you.
But if the thought of those reputational impacts is the most striking thing for you, and not the enough of the actions you'll be expected to take against others that will *earn* the moniker "pig"? Then I think you're going about this wrong.
If you become a cop, you will be joining the most prolific armed robbery gang in the entire United States by a wide margin. Police use a technique called civil asset forfeiture to steal things from people, often including cash and vehicles, without any declaration of a crime and with a very difficult process for the victim to get it back, which they often don't. If you join the cops you are going to be expected to participate in civil asset forfeiture, or support cops who do, and you will become one of the faces of the greatest armed robbery gangs in the world, for which, yes, some people will call you pig.
And you will be expected to support all of these abuses and more, including nakedly illegal ones, because police whistleblowers are universally retaliated against. Some of them are murdered and the murderers get away with it. And there is such an enormous glut of things to whistle blow about within police forces, everything from unethical overtime practices to prisoner rights violations to coercive interrogations to sexual violence towards prisoners (especially trans prisoners) to the simple civil asset forfeiture I mentioned earlier. So if you go into that job and you come out anyway other than disgraced and with your pension stripped and you and your family threatened because you turned whistleblower, yes there are many people whom you will have earned the title of pig.
From 2000 and 2019 Cops Seized $69 Billion From People, Most of Whom Were Not Even Charged with a Crime
Whistleblower laws have advanced in public and private sectors, but protections for police who report illegal or unethical behavior lag far
In the military, a full quarter of all women soldiers and 2% of men are raped by their comrades, and this is almost entirely covered up at every level. Successful prosecution and action taken about these matters is incredibly rare. It's much more difficult to get information on the right at which US soldiers rape civilians and enemy combatants, but everywhere US soldiers are stationed there are accusations of rape and cover-ups of those rapes where US soldiers are moved out of the jurisdiction to avoid facing local justice. There's been a small handful of successful convictions over the last few years, but out of thousands of accusations and even more kept silent out of fear.

If you join the military it is statistical guarantee that you will be working with both ongoing rape victims and their active rapists, whether you pay enough attention to find out or not. And handling this by the books in a way that won't get you a dishonorable discharge will result in no protection and no justice.
This is without even addressing the actual violence the US performs, especially right now. I am talking about purely the moral cost of what the military demands you be cool with and what sexually violent crimes against civilians it will defend its soldiers from.
So yeah, you take those path, some people will call you a pig and spit. If you decide you want to wear those symbols with pride anyways, that's your call. But now you know why some people spit on those same symbols.

Everything that isn't food is a cat from the perspective of a cat. Cats can look upon the true form of eldritch monstrosities and keep their sanity. They'd just see another cat. A fucking weird-looking cat, but a cat nonetheless.
