These are by far the best photographs I have seen on this work, and we all owe a debt to the photographer. Four Studies is one of Ruben’s most popular pieces, despite the fact that it’s not one of his monumental works (some of which I have had the delight of seeing in person, and they are distinctively massive).
Studies like this one were usually meant to serve as reference in the creation those larger compositions, which would usually depict scenes from the Christian bible, Greek or roman mythology, or historical scenes of battles, monarchs, or other notable events.

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that’s been happening in the last couple years is “youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will”
this guy started out poking fun at australian politicians and ended up investigating the firebombing of his own home, during which he uncovered connections between the same politician he was making fun of + major organized crime
“So I did what any normal person would do, okay? I bought a hat and some makeup and disguised myself so that I could go undercover and do some digging on what I thought could be an illegal gambling operation that was fronting as a kebab restaurant.”
I watched the second video and I feel it’s vitally important for people to know that the question “who firebombed my house?” isn’t a rhetorical one or a hyperbolic one, he genuinely doesn’t know because his list of proven enemies includes, in no particular order:
The cops
The terrorist surveillance branch of said cops
The government
No, seriously, multiple current and former government officials have openly stated beef with him
The most violent crime family in Australia
The gambling lobby
Money launderers
Other journalists
Drug dealers
The seventh richest man in Australia
Property Developers
And a partridge in a pear tree
He legitimately doesn’t know which one of his enemies might have done it (even though he has strong suspicions) because they’ve collectively already attempted to shut him up with legal attacks that could’ve resulted in actual jail time and many, many more shady tactics, including smear campaigns, outright lying to authorities (who also hate him) and lying under oath (the courts probably also hate him but are more quiet about it).
He legitimately went into hiding for a few months to assess the threat level after being firebombed and escaping with his life by sheer luck.
And you know what? He went right back to being an annoying little pissant to the most powerful people in his country and has become more prolific than ever after that video up there. I personally subscribed to his patreon because frankly? Anyone with that many enemies who legitimately want him silenced or dead deserves a few bucks a month.
we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason
i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3
unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it
i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map
i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs
this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.
crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

me trying to explain how chinese names work for non-chinese writers: look its very simple. you must NEVER EVER EVER refer to anyone by their last name OR first name ALONE. this is a cardinal sin and will have you laughed out of the rednote comment section. The sequence is SURNAME FIRST NAME, and it is SACROSANCT. unless you're writing dialogue from the 21st century, then most people can refer to your character by their first name in conversation. but only if it's a two-character name. if the name is one character long, the surname HAS to be added, otherwise it sounds Weird. also this only works for dialogue, the narration must ALWAYS use the full name. that is, unless, mayhaps, you're writing about the classical-to-medival period, then historians will sometimes refer to people by their single-character given name. or the person in question will use their single-character name in the third person during a conversation. they will just throw that in when vibes are correct. also, in premodern china, its very common for women to be named shit like "Big [surname of father] or Little [surname of father]" based on birth order and this is the rare instance where the name goes before the surname. look its very self-explanatory, when in doubt you just need to go with your gut. now tune in tomorrow where i explain how courtesy names work--
#wait im chinese and idk this#maybe I need to read more c media#like irl (in sg) its just given name usually#never really really learnt abt courtesy names etc beyond a brief lesson#this is useful advice tho!!
@shrimpsicality dont worry man the courtesy name mainly applies to characters from Ye Olde Times. it started going out of fashion during the latter half of the 20th century, and is almost never used in the 21st century. so good news! you won't really need it unless you're preparing to get waist deep in the historical rpf/fantasy genres.
i, for one, think we should bring back the courtesy name. social interactions simply are not challenging enough, we need to add an extra spot quiz for every person we meet to keep it funky and fresh. the people of tumblr say they are sick of the Pronoun Circle. well, get ready for the Proper Noun Circle. I will be the one to reach across the aisle and come up with a decision that makes everyone equally aggravated. "here is the Backup Name I go by in public, and here is my Real Name. NEVER call me by this. EVER. not even if you're the fucking emperor. unless ☝️ you're older than me." i want the ability to revoke my name privileges. there are too many people in my life that i simply do not want to be Known by. people at work. hiring reps from networking events. everyone from highschool. people who ask to connect on linkedin. those fucking spam emails for services that i have no recollection of subscribing to, but inexplicably have my full name, blood type, zodiac sign and the last three digits of my social security number.*
A Chinese history text: "Big Honcho and Other Big Honcho had a severe falling out after the former referred to the latter in public by his name. This was an offense that Other Big Honcho would never forgive and which led to the fracturing of the Horse Alliance"
Me prior to getting into cdrama fandoms: What does this mean? It's his name? 🤨 Why would he get offended by being called by his name, what else would he call him??
Me after getting into cdrama fandoms: Ooooff big faux pas 😬 honestly Big Honcho was lucky that Other Big Honcho didn't challenge him a duel on the spot. RIP Horse Alliance they're never coming back from that one 😔
Get ready for the other names past that. There’s also the names you are given after you become a well known figure in society, usually titles given by others based on the location you are from or where something significant happened to you. For instance, famous Song Dynasty poet Su 苏 birth name Shi 轼, courtesy name Zizhan 子瞻, alternative title dongpo jushi 东坡居士 which means something like the one who lives on the east slope. So you may see him referred to as Su Shi 苏轼, Su Zizhan 苏子瞻, Su Dongpo 苏东坡, etc. I think primarily in the tang dynasty people might also be referred to as surname + number denoting their birth order in that generation of their family (Gao Shi 高适 being Gao 13 高十三 for instance). There’s so many names you can choose from depending on what type of message you are trying to send.
In historical settings it’s crucial to keep in mind in a conversation 1) relative status of speakers 2) context of the conversation when determining how someone is referred to and what message they are sending by choosing that particular term of address (self address also sends a message as to how the speaker perceives themselves relative to the addressee).
Things that can affect what name to use for someone (let’s use famous early Ming Dynasty statesman Yu Qian 于谦 as an example):
Is this narration?
Yes: use his full birth name Yu Qian 于谦
No: is he alive?
No: is this after his “treason case” (lbfr everyone knew this was false at the time) was overturned?
No: you can call him by whatever title you please and this sends a political signal on your opinion of him and the emperor who had him executed for treason
Yes: call him either 于公 Yu Gong (respectful title for a man) or by his full posthumous title restored by a later emperor 于肃愍公 Yu Su Min Gong, or if it’s after the title was changed by the later title 于忠肃公 Yu Zhong Su Gong. I could write a whole post on posthumous titles but the first one describes him as a decisive righteous person who died for the nation in a sorrowful fashion that is cause for regret, the second emphasizes his loyalty rather than sorrow over how he died.
No: is the speaker talking to him as friends outside of the court?
Yes: is the speaker on the same social or generational level? (E.g. Yu Shiyue 俞士悦)
Yes: courtesy name 廷益Tingyi
No: 于大人Yu Daren (some other alternatives possible in more specific scenarios) since he is a court official
Is the speaker talking to him about policy directly under his purview (e.g. when he was head of the ministry of the military and the topic is deploying which general to the northern border town Datong)?
Yes: call him by his job title Yu Shangshu 于尚书
No: call him by his highest ranking title, which doesn’t have a job attached but was granted by the emperor as a show of favor (and sometimes includes its own salary) 于少保 Yu Shaobao
His students (e.g. 项文耀 Xiang Wenyao or even the Jingtai emperor) outside of court/official business may call him 先生 xiansheng aka teacher.
The emperor would call him 卿/于卿/于爱卿 minister/minister Yu/ beloved minister Yu etc in court or on official business.
Familial relations are a whole other thing but generally not hugely different from modern times. And I didn’t even get into self address, or how others would refer to themselves when speaking to him. I actually was writing a post about terms of address including self address, but it ballooned so much and I got busy so it’s on hold for now…
