Italian novelist/artist, Dino Buzzati (1906-1972).
Crown prince Kiriona Gaia, saddest girl in the world
one of the things about a lot of abstract art is that if you look at an artist's most famous work you might just think "this is just a bunch of colorful rectangles? what?" and, to be fair, it is just a bunch of colorful rectangles. but then you look back at their earlier work of the same genre and you can tell that it's not quite... done yet? something about the compositional balance and color palette is out of whack. then you go back earlier to their first forays into abstraction and it's almost completely different to their later work. it's not necessarily bad, but it's clearly their first pass at a new idea. then you look at their most famous work again and you can see what it's actually trying to do. the layout of the areas of negative and positive space give it room to breathe, the colors feed into each other in a specific way, the surface quality of the paint makes you imagine how it would feel to touch. looking at the finished product, you may well have the dexterity to copy how it looks without much trouble and it could be a pleasant exercise to do, but this image was the product of years of experimentation to arrive at a desired effect. it's harder to see the effort than with, say, academic figural oil painting, but it is undoubtedly still there. I should avoid ever attending a hilma af klint show because I know I'd try to make out with a canvas.
The description of Mercymorn doing surgery on Judith in As Yet Unsent is so funny to me because it does not read like she's doing a surgery.
It reads like she's an upset IT/repair specialist who got tired of driving 6 hours to look at servers that were not turned on, and she's going to make everyone suffer for daring to involve her in this mess. She ripped stuff out and casually put her hands into Judith's stomach, she was one bad moment away from trying to factory reset her with a hammer.
Blood of Eden really invited Dr. Eight House to punch Judith in her pancreas until she got better.

All this discourse over who does "painting with light"
Hiroshi Nagai's paintings need sunglasses to look at.
They look like how it feels to walk across a parking lot on a 98Β° summer day without a speck of shade in sight.
They look like heaven but also like you'd burn your bare feet on the ground.
Even when you can see shade you know it's not enough and the minute you step out you'll be burnt to a crisp like a vampire.
And it's BEAUTIFUL
I'll throw in the wonderful Eizin Suzuki into this ring too, a man whose work just breathes light without actually using dynamic lighting in the usual way. It's no surprise both Nagai and Suzuki are both considered prolific in art pertaining to the city pop genre because they're able to paint these kinds of scenes with a delicate touch.
This feels like I could trip on that radio and fall right into that water, feeling the crystal waves as I drop in.
And this, a nice stroll down a resort strip, where my sunscreened skin could literally feel cooked if I leaned too close to the tiling.
And then a nice stretch of summer street, wherein you could see your face in the flushed red of that car provided it didn't blind you from its sunny reflections.
I don't think I even need to say anything more, Suzuki's a massive influence in how he even places colours so warmly in such unorthodox manner. It's a naturally sunkissed talent~ π
Harrow and Gideon are both children of the Ninth. they're the only children left alive, with no reference for childhood but each other.
Gideon's existence in itself is an abomination to the Ninth. nothing she can do will make her palatable to Pelleamena and Priamhawk; nothing she can do can make her relationship (or lack thereof) with them worse. she can't leave, but she doesn't belong either. she bitterly wants what Harrow has: recognition, belonging, acknowledgement, praise; parents. she wants to be Harrow and she wants Harrow to see her; and in the entire Drearburh, Harrow is the only one who does. even in her fantasies of escape, Gideon wants Harrow to see her, to need her, to be proud of her. she will never ever let Harrow go.
Harrow's existence is a welcome, sacred abomination to the Ninth. Harrow is made, with great sacrilege, for a single reason, and Harrow is aware of this reason from her very early childhood. Her every step, every breath needs to be worth the souls of two hundred children buried in her. Her parents' love is entirely conditioned; her parents' love is (quite literally) tying a noose around her neck. Harrow has to only see Gideon to know what's waiting if she missteps. Harrow fears and wants what Gideon has, bitterly: the freedom to be beyond disappointment, the lack of debts to pay. in the entire Drearburh, Gideon is the only one who doesn't care and doesn't know about her purpose, who doesn't care for the entire planet Harrow is tasked with saving. Harrow will never ever let her go.
they love each other like they're crabs in the bucket; and by the time we meet them, neither of them know how to ask who's holding the bucket, and who's put them there. they only know how to not let go.
(expanding on this)
i am dying for people to recognize harrow and gideon as the golden child/scapegoat in the locked steam cooker of several layers of institutional abuse. of course harrow's love is cramped and painful and awful, of course gideon's love is obsessed and self-negating, of course they're fixated on each other and yet blind to each other. gah.

day one of having a fandom mutual: you like The Character too? no way!
day three hundred of having a fandom mutual: The Character probably gets vivisected recreationally. no doubt
in all seriousness, if someone atticwives ryland grace, the power dynamic on display (as buck has already mentioned) is kind of horrendous, but it already exists in the text. i gestured at it in caulk worm fic and subverted it primarily because it didn't match the tone, but there's so much going on...
grace is fundamentally at the behest of paternalistic benefactors who consider his existence kind of cute and interesting. this is a very scary position to be in: if, say, funding ran for his biome, what would he do? i know weir (and, by proxy, the film) glosses over this by making eridians a sort of utopia, but andy weir also doesn't give a single shit about things like "linguistics" or "culture" so i dont trust that guy
he is already atticwifed because presumably there is lots of stuff going on outside on erid and he's unable to participate in it. for example, we know on earth grace lacks friends; does he have friends outside of rocky on erid? can you be friends with a team of zookeepers hired solely to keep you alive? can you, as a human, be good friends with your primary care doctor? and even if you can---can you trust your doctor to be honest with you both as your doctor and your friend?
beyond that, what is grace's status? is he a citizen? do they even want him there? surely there is opposition to his existence. if erid is neoliberal democratic, is he given a right to vote? if they're anarcho-syndicalists (my preferred choice, for what is a thrum if not a union) is he a member of a union to be able to bargain for his rights? is he able to join a union without a thrum? does he even have any notion of the political situation? or is that something designed to keep him safe?
he is fundamentally at rocky's mercy for all of the above. as he seems to have no access to the outside world bar what rocky filters through for him, rocky can tell him something and he has absolutely no way to go check for himself. if rocky were to say, lie to him for grace's own good, that could spiral very very fast indeed. i know, again, the film glosses over this, but that puts grace in a very tenuous position. why not set the attic alight to be able to truly see for the first time the goings on of the house below?
episode 8 of The First Jasmine has taught me that even Song (?) dynasty noblewomen aren't free of the universal problem of doing your kid's craft homework for school at the last moment lol.
happy belated fathers day i guess
what i appreciate about The First Jasmine is that in the very first episode Ye Li outsmarted her wicked stepmother and won back her dowry, and i was like, oh! she's a master of domestic intrigues! she's going to be winning the household wars!
nope, she got a man buried alive and another man burned alive in the next six episodes alone, all without even showing her face. mama is playing for real money here, and i love it for her.
