The Essence Of Photographing B&W Film
One of the primary benefits of black and white film is the way it captures tonality. Without the distraction of colour, the focus shifts to light, shadow, and texture, creating a moody and emotive quality that’s hard to replicate with colour images. Black and white film can also capture details in highlights and shadows that might be lost in colour photography, resulting in more subtle and nuanced images.

So we all know that A is very competitive and it got me thinking, how a uno game would run with UB?
Also, I love your writting on twc, seriously is my hyperfixation right now.
I...actually don't know how to play Uno as I've never played it, but I hear it's got a lot of memes about it, hehe! :D
I imagine A would get competitive no matter what game it is, whether they truly understood the rules or not like me, lol!
Thank you so much for the ask and motivating message! <3

“i believe in the idea that old bits of equipment have songs built into them already, like a ghost in the walls.”
#i love the way his mind works so much i don’t even know how to talk about it#this is such a fascinating insight into his creative process#also idk which of these interviews came first but i love that he speaks in such similar patterns about the same idea#it’s clearly a thought he’s really spent time with#and i also love how adamant he is that he can’t play the piano 😂😭#alex turner#arctic monkeys#alex vid#am era#lulu posts

I do believe that Lilith is Good
But
she still has Master manipulator Gothic Queen of Night vibes, she's playing 4D chess but no one else will get on her level and its really getting to her
She tried for human solidarity back in Eden 'if we play our cards right we can uncover Heaven's Ultimate secret plan' and was met with a resounding "uh Why?" "Have you tried asking them?" from Adam and Eve
She really wants to find pride in her kin but they make it so difficult
#I watched a video about how makeup can be used to give insight to character#and now i feel weird when I see Lilith with full lashes and eyeshadow and lipstick in Eden#where did she get those?#hazbin hotel#hazbin hotel lilith#hazbin hotel eve#hazbin hotel adam#hellaverse#hazbin hotel headcanons#forbidden fruits#hazbin hotel fanart

some highlights from this 2004 adam norris money marketing profile:
"There are few managing directors younger than Adam Norris of Pensions Direct, the pension arm of Hargreaves Lansdown. At 33, he has achieved a higher level in the industry than most do in their entire career." "Norris quips that early retirement would be readily available to him yet it is a very unattractive option. 'I do not believe in going to the office for the sake of it. I enjoy every day of my working life. I am lucky enough that my work is also my hobby. The day I stop enjoying it is the day I will retire.'" "He also takes his hobbies very seriously and, before entering financial services, spent a year in Europe pursuing a career as a tour cyclist. He trained in Belgium with the hope of becoming a serious competitor in the Tour de France. While not making it as a professional, he did come back to the UK with a new outlook and a wife." "Yet Norris maintains he still only works regular hours and prefers not to work later than 5.30pm if he can help it. He refuses to take work home. 'It is a matter of working smarter rather than harder, which is something we need a lot more of in the financial services world.'" "Comments like these demonstrate Norris's forthright pragmatism, that seems to stem from his structured, mathematical training as an engineer and his hard-work ethic, which he says is a result of growing up with dyslexia and needing to work things through. 'I have become very good at learning and observing the world through truly different eyes to everyone else. If you cannot spell, who cares? Working out solutions to difficult problems and understanding the world we live in is vastly more important.' This is a tenet he aims to pass on to his children through real-life experience. He has bought a small farm in the West Country where he has sheep and other animals. 'Real-life experience is most important for a good grounding in anything. I am always conscious that financial services is a world unto its own and, the more of the outside world you see, the saner and more balanced you are.'" "Education: BEng, University of Leicester Career: 1993-95 financial adviser, Acuma; 1995-98 IFA for small brokerages in Bath and Bristol; 1998-present managing director, Pensions Direct, the pension arm of Hargreaves Lansdown Career ambition: To be the biggest shareholder in Europe's biggest IFA Life ambition: To enjoy every day Hero: Doesn't have one Likes: Jam sandwiches Dislikes: Marmite Drives: Porsche 911 convertible"
#the bits i left out are more focused on him being goated at his job i guess#he's very interesting in his own right#and his career is (from what i can tell) out of the ordinary lol#more coming soon maybe. or well like#this is the personable bit. that has some parenting insights? the rest are interesting in terms of career tea tbh#which ill probs post some highlights from the other articles all in one post for myself lol#ln#(well. kind of)#lore#adam norris

Consciousness is Silence
Student: It's like when you ask the question, "Who am I?" there's a kind of a blank spot, a blank space before anything comes up is that what you say consciousness is? Robert: Space is consciousness, correct. The space in between "Who am I?" is the real self. Abide in that. If you continue the practice, after a while, the space will grow longer and longer and longer. You will say, "Who am I?" and pause and you will sooner get lost in consciousness. Then you start thinking again, and you go back to "Who am I?" and there'll be another long space, until "who am I?" stops completely and you become yourself. So as you continue the practice, the space in between becomes longer and longer. Student: Robert, is the Self clear space or a blank or the perceiver of the space or the blank? Robert: The space is not a blank. It is not a perceiver. It is nothing that you can qualify. Nothing that you can discuss. Nothing that is known. For space to be known, there has to be a knower. And as long as there's a knower, that's not it. So you have to go beyond that. To silence. Consciousness is silence. Silence is consciousness. They're both the same. Student: Robert, in a sense the space is not an 'It', but I and that is a problem in a sense, that we see it as it and not I? Robert: You exist. You exist where there is space and you exist where there is 'I'. So who exists as space? Who exists as 'I'? Ask the question. Who exists? Confer. Follow the existence. Follow the 'I'. And you will come to nothing. You will come to consciousness by itself. But do not believe that the void is it. Many people experience the void and they think the void is it. But don't you exist in the void? (tape break) (Robert continues) ...there is nothing that can be explained. As long as you can explain it, it's not it. So what is left? Silence, quietness.

the hatzgang are drawn with disgustingly big heads and im tired of hiding it.
seriously the shapes are so clashing and dont fit together at all (not to mention, inaccurate?? super inaccurate)
robert looks like a thumb. his head is shaped like a thumg LOOK AT THIS SHIT.
HIS FACE IS AN OVAL YOU ASSHEADS!!!
#ranting#spooky month#robert spooky month#the hatzgang#HOW DO YOU GUYS FUCK UP THE MOST SIMPLE DESIGN#him in the newer episodes looks absolutely garbage. he hardly looks or sounds 16 years old#nor does roy. ROY LOOKS TWELVE??? and why is he so EDGY.#huuuu.. my life is so bad... thank you guys for comforting me...#HOE YOU LIVE THE GOOD LIFE#not to mention robert and rosses only personalities being washed away for roys quote.. character development.#robert and ross simply tend to roys petty meltdowns#and scold him for being rightfully angry that skid and pump are actively making his life worse#when robert and ross were supposed to keep roy from bullying them to save their skin???#theyre such suck-ups#why are they so adamant about treating skid and pump like saints as if they werent fucking traumatized by them#and obviously only try to get roy to stop picking on them because it brings them more trouble#but theyre written as brainless apologists that only stick up for roy when hes having one of his stupid moments#that we dont even get INSIGHT ON because the writers brains are mush#and they dont know how to actually write pelos own characters without making them one dimensional#because at this point spooky month is simply a goddamn cashgrab and not a passion project#because at this point the fandom is full of so many illiterate hooligans they beg for more plotless plot-hole filled content#to the point that it takes fucking YEARS for another episode to come out#just because people work their ass off on an episode that turns out disappointing in the end#and the cycle repeats#and on#and on again#and on again and again AND AGAIN#please just fucking end the series already#it'd save so many backs from breaking from the peer pressure the dumb 13 year old fans push on pelos team to make them push out an episode#because everyone in the spooky month fandom is a JERK

I believe it was @agentnatesewell who asked about the conversation with Adam about gossip. This happens when Adam goes with you to Haley's for breakfast at the beginning of book 3. When Adam asks about what it's like living in a small town where everyone knows everyone select "Most people don't know me. They only know what the gossip tells them."
From the conversation that follows:
"Yes. Gossip seems to be one of the few things that humans and supernaturals both share in with glee."
"Have you ever been the topic of that sort of gossip?" I venture, taking a small bite of my food to help with the casual feel of the conversation. I can't say I'm not eager to enjoy the ease with which it's flowing between us.
"It's impossible not to be. The facilities are small, and there's little to do outside of work besides talk." He glances over at me. "The attention is not something I enjoy."
"And what does the gossip say?"
He hunches forwards, though he isn't tense. Instead, he rests his forearms along his thighs and lets his hands hang loose between them. "The words 'Ice King' are bandied about a fair bit." His tone remains light.
My chuckle is quieter than I meant it to be, but only because it's impossible not to be overly distracted by the way his hunched-over position pulls his shirt tight over every strong muscle.
"I'm thankful to be out of that environment and living at the warehouse." He pauses, and then the corners of his lips twitch up in almost a smile. "Not that Felix is much better."
"I know how you feel. The station isn't exactly busy, and gossip can get a bit out of control."
He angles his head to the side to look at me. "I'm not surprised it would revolve around you." His gaze slips back to the scene ahead. "You are…a difficult man not to think of."
#adam du mortain#a du mortain#the wayhaven chronicles#twc#this is where I feel like Adam might have some insight to keeping up appearances#that he fails to apply to post book 3 Ethan#Adam is too caught up. not in gossip. but in his own idea of Ethan and how he wants ethan to be feeling#that he misses what's actually there#ethan langford#life at nerdy holler

im really enjoying all this amanda context that has come out of saw x bc i feel like it helps to bridge the gap in her motivation between mercy killing adam and then all the straight up murder in saw 3. like i know it was a breaking point for her type thing but it felt like a bit too big of a jump to me if im being so honest. but since everything we see in x takes place after she kills adam, it makes her whole descent that much smoother. in my humble gamer opinion.
#.txt#saw#listening to leigh's commentary on 3 was rly insightful wrt her rage and where it came from#but it still didn't quite close the gap as much as i would have liked. especially since he says killing adam is like her first time rly#breaking away from john and his rules#but her storyline w gabriella really fits in very nicely and like. fixes that for me#saw x#not rly any#saw x spoilers#but I'll tag jic#saw posting

haiiii question for the masses <333
#this is just a few things. i debated putting adam spends the whole summer wanting to break it off with ronan in here but ended up not#doing it bc while it IS considered ooc 2 me when u look at it straight on (adam would've def taken Everything into consideration before#choosing to start a relationship with ronan) if u look at it like adam is separating his academic and personal life and convincing himself#he can't have both or not allowing himself to accept happiness that does not come with pain or being too scared of the different directions#ronan and adam were going in and deciding to break it off bc he felt like eventually it would stop working anyway and he thought it was#best to end it now bc it would hurt less than ending it after a couple more years or even growing apart would...alas we do not get this#insight it is quite literally what i THINK was going on with adam and probably not actually what it meant. if maggie meant for option 1 to#be the truth then i consider it ooc. for the small chance that maggie meant for option 2 and just didn't rlly manage to make it come across#as explicitly so then it is not ooc i actually think that would be very like the adam i know so i didn't include it. and the poll was full#anyways. also there is a lot of declan ooc moments........#tfw u ask ur mom if u can have declan lynch & she says we have declan lynch @home & then the declan lynch @home is declan lynch in gw 😐#trc#dreamer trilogy#polls#SORRY i know all the gw dunking days r in the past sort of but i need to know i'm not the only one who thinks this.#greywaren#also sorry for the essay in the tags ✋

who do you think is leaving/going pro after this season on the michigan hockey team? hearing the announcers talk about how frank might come back next year because of his injury made me think about the rest of the roster
I'm assuming Adam and Luke are for sure done after this year, but what about Mackie, Dylan, Rutger, Seamus, Gavin, etc.?
They really need to give Naruto the full gig so he can recruit better and this keep can keep being good
good news, anon: chris peters and corey pronman agree that there's "a good chance" adam stays at umich for another year. you can listen to their full convo starting at about 1:12:00 here, but they opined that the major factors influencing this will be what team he's drafted by and how the rest of his season goes.
i am mentally preparing myself for the worst case draft scenario for adam, and am therefore heartened by what i've read about how chicago likes to let their prospects marinate at lower levels longer than some other organizations do. the only bottom feeder i'd be really worried about the 2OA ping pong balls falling for would be columbus, since their prospect system is already stacked so they've got no incentive to hang out being bad for another year, and they've got a yawning void at 1C all ready for adam to step into (one factor that made matty's transition to seattle so successful.)
i also think it's encouraging that adam is getting advice from the same place as matty and owen and luke and quinn, who are all also late birthdays who seem happy to have played a second year of college hockey. also, adam has a track record of making the decisions that make him happy even if they are not a traditional hockey path.
...on the other hand, adam is a better player than matty and owen and luke, and he's having a better freshman season than any of them had. (but on the other other hand, that season is also demonstrating that he's got some maturing to do.) anyway the point is, we have reasons to hope!
otherwise:
luke and erik are gone for sure. i know erik's already communicated that and i think luke has too.
seamus, gavin, and frankie are almost certainly staying. they are all on the smaller side; second-rounders (seamus and, probably, gavin) aren't usually one-and-done anyway; and i assume chicago is going to be patient with frankie.
i would be kind of surprised if eddy or dylan left, since mid- to late-round draft picks usually spend 3-4 years in college. i'd put truss in this category too... even if vancouver's willing to sign him this spring, he seems like the type to go the nick blankenburg path and finish his senior year with the C.
mackie and rutger are the other two who wouldn't surprise me if they left. scouting reports always say that rutger's Big Body (TM) already wouldn't look out of place in an NHL locker room. however, fellow mid-first round power forward matt boldy did two years of college, so i live in hope. mackie's draft status and college performance are probably closer to two-and-done thom and brendan, but i personally headcanon that the two of them left after two years not for hockey reasons but because they refused to do any more homework. going pro might interfere with mackie's napping schedule so maybe he'll stick around a little longer.
to your other point: fuck yes they need to give naur a contract. i got all emotional last night about him jumping up and down with his assistant coaches when they won the game. coaches don't do that! they nod approvingly and walk off the ice! please hire him so he doesn't have to worry that the board of regents is going to kick him off the island if he loses to michigan state!
#usual caveat that i have no privileged insight here#i just read a lot of prospect coverage and synthesize my own opinions accordingly#note: although CBJ worries me the most w/r/t one-and-done#it is still a highly desirable adam destination for me#because adam/nick would be SUCH a great ship#my uninformed yet strident hockey opinions
