#Garbo the mushroom

[huniidragon]

I drew Garbo, but she stole my heart instead! I adore this little bard!

[malwaredykes]

ok. finished honest hearts. most of my inventory is plants and mushroom and Soups And Potions And Elixirs made from said plants and mushrooms. which is excellent.

the salt-upon-wounds confrontation was Tchruly garbo like. first of all they lit up ole josh before anyone even had the chance to say anything LOL that wasnt like Bad necessarily just rly funny. like yeah we can negotiate before anything breaks out *the camera pans to Jotchua Grams lifeless body on the pavement* but um second of all what the hell was that dialogue. "grrrr im gonna kill you" "[speech 75] no thats stupid. dont" "umm okei :) but i'll be back >:(" *runs away* Like. man. listen. throughout the entire dlc i Did Not want to be fighting all those white legs lol. i didnt know those people. you know i generally hate the Hostile By Default Irredeemable Canon Fodder Raiders crap and in this case its just especially egregious to me, with them being a Tribe and with me being some random ass normie strolling into the area getting instructed by the local white saviors. like, okay, since i Was getting involved, then if anyone deserved to Feel The Judgment Of Mine fall upon them it was in fact salt-upon-wounds with his track record of being a horrible fucking person. so i had to fight my way through all those white legs only for the Problem Guy to be like "Hm Okay. Deal. You Leave Forever And I Get To Live. Sounds Good. Sucker" like. fuck no. youre dead. this is for waking clouds husband how DARE you make my bald queen SAD

which btw i did encourage cloud to get mad at daniel for hiding that from her. like yeah girl dont take this shit from him. youre allowed to feel angry. who does he think he is. making decisions for the sorrows like youre all children. be mad at him. chase him out. tell him to never show his stinky mug around these parts. If You Want. ahh but then the ending slides said she forgave him.... well i suppose i have to respect her choice... but... cloud honey if you ever wanna team up and chase daniels stinky mug far away just give me a call

i also encouraged follows-chalk to go out there and experience the world outside... i really hated how he felt obligated to ask joshua permission, and how joshua was like Well 🥺 I wont tell him what to do but 🥺 Is it wise... I just worry about my foolish little lamb 🥺... like. Shut Uuuupppp.... chalk is an adult. i think. either way what do You know. jotchua. last time you ventured into The Civilized Lands (lol) you were a fucked up genocide army general so forgive me for thinking you might not have the most objective and up to date outlook here. Anyway. chalk come hang out sometime. come to the lucky 38. youll meet my epic swag friends and family. LOL bit of an aside but (mostly so i dont become insane because of the dlcs writing) i like to imagine that most of the time chalk expresses incredulity about some Civilized World Concept like gambling (-_-) or big dams or big weapons, hes literally fucking with you. like hes joking around. he used to mess with daniel and jotchua like that and now hes doing it with you. like Wow... How Strange... You Say It Is Called A... "Window".... 😂😂😂...

loving how the ending slides barely mentioned joshua also. like wtf happened to him. who knows. damn maybe he did die and i didnt even notice. im sorry jotchua. may your soul quickly find its way to NOWHERE lol #owned

final verdict: waking-cloud and follows-chalk are great, joshua graham is an extremely funny character, daniel is nothing to me, the area is cool, the plot is dumb as hell, the whole thing is racist, the quests are boring. 3/10

X-ray and Vav ideas i had

so there’s a few things i’ve been thinking about, i’ll try my best to write it out (please correct me if i’ll flub something!) 1. Corpirate after end scene calls to his old friend/coworker - Rimmy Tim (since they’re both from WWE,aren’t they?) 2. X-ray left,trying to find himself, he probably met Tina of this world. 3. Vav tries to help Mogar becoming a normal citizen 4. Vav meets The Twins when they were either robbed or tried to stop some criminal. They form Dusk Boys 5. Dusk Boys get Mogar into the city to get new haircut, but he gets lost and wonders into the alley where he meets the Garbo Family. 6. Rimmy Tim is kinda a bad guy,but also not really, he just hates Dusk Boys. 7. After encountering some problem surrounded by locks, The Twins lead Vav to girl named Brandeen (she looks like FAHC Jack). She really despites  Twins,but ready to listen to Vav. She used to be a criminal and she has key to every lock. i also had an idea of Mogar’s mom developing some kind of illness where she grows small mushrooms on her body and her skin get red a bit. That’s why Mogar almost always in the city, trying to find help.  (Cause.. idk, Edgar was replaced with Mooshroom once)

The Secret History of Berets

Berets are the most elegantly timeless style of hat – at once capable of being tidy and astute, feminine and intellectual, unassuming and intriguing. Whenever I happen to spot a round cap with that tiny woolen sprout, I can’t help but feel a flutter of whimsy and charm – it is, after all, the same hat that Mary Tyler Moore joyfully tosses in the air at the end of the opening of The Mary Tyler Moore Show while the music goes “you’re gonna make it after allllll”. It’s a blue striped knitted beret, complete with pom-pom, and it is marvelous.

The beret’s agelessness endurance comes from having a complex history; it was born out of necessity and existed long before it was even dubbed a beret. Despite the reputation it has now of French artsy-fartsy, cigarette-puffing pretention, this stereotype is not actually part of its origin story. In the 14th and 15th century, berets were simply referred to as felt hats and were specifically common among the poorest farming classes and artists (perhaps due to the hat’s incorporation into the self-portraits of artists such as Vermeer and Rembrandt). Its practical construction allowed it to be adopted by many groups, from French and Spanish militaries in the 1800s, to the Black Panthers in the 1960s and 70s and endless film starlets in between. The beret creates unity and wholeness in a group of individuals – it’s an additional layer to a uniform that symbolizes a strong alliance.

Despite the reputation it has now of French artsy-fartsy, cigarette-puffing pretention, this stereotype is not actually part of its origin story.

The headwear most associated with the Women’s March is the “pussy hat,” but the beret has its own place in feminist history as well. The Mary Tyler Moore Show is considered groundbreaking in the era of second-wave feminism, as it centered on an independent female whose main priority was her career, working as an associate producer for a fictional news program. Equally as fictional in reality at that time in television was a character like Mary – a working woman who wasn’t interested in marriage or being dependent on a man to survive. And yes, she wore a beret.

The typical “French beret” is also known as a Basque-style beret. It became available for commercial production in the 19th century in a town called Oloron-Sainte-Marie located between Southern France and Northern Spain. Often worn incorrectly, the brim of the hat was originally meant to be folded underneath, to ultimately look as if someone cracked an egg upon the head, opposed to showing like a muffin.

By 1928, more than 20 factories in France along with some in Spain and Italy produced millions of berets, pushing the beret beyond being a simple working class accessory and peppered onto the heads of Hollywood starlets from the 1920s onward, such as Jean Harlow, Greta Garbo, and Marlene Dietrich.

In the fall of 2017 Dior released an army of black leather beret wearing models on the runway. The following year in Toronto, berets popped up in the streets and subways quicker than mushroom caps in a damp forest. The city, seemingly overnight, became overrun with wooly brims. As quickly as they popped up, so too did the jokes on Twitter, and the great beret barrage eventually stopped.

This year, models traded berets for Yankee-doodle feathered caps and cyborg-esque helmet-sunglass fusions, but rest assured – the beret will never really be out of style. It is continually being reinvented and permanently enmeshed in our culture’s style lexicon. It looks like they’re going to make it after all.

Design Milk Travels to… Stockholm

There may be no city that best embodies the description “winter wonderland” as does Stockholm during the months spanning December through February, when snow dusts the city’s stately waterfront architecture like powdered sugar over cake, regularly layering its streets so thoroughly, it’s not uncommon to witness commuters skiing to work. During the warmer months the glacial-formed archipelago thaws into something glorious, awakening the dormant Scandinavian desire for the outdoors and the activity revolving the inviting landscape. But visiting the Swedish capital during its more frigid months invites a slower pace distilled to Stockholm’s most basic charms. Destinations per day in winter may be limited, but experiences are magnified and every moment feels indeed wondrous.

WHERE TO STAY

The winter weather outside may seem frightful, but the rooms within The Strand are indeed warm and delightful. Photo: Gregory Han

If only the walls of The Strand hotel could talk – a hotel that once played host to a global revolving door of the who’s who who arrived nightly to drink and be merry (reputedly Greta Garbo and Ingrid Bergman partied at the hotel’s bar with regularity). Originally designed by Ludwig Peterson in preparation for the 1912 Olympic Games, the 170 guest rooms, suites, lobby, restaurant, and bar have only recently been given a modern makeover by Swedish architectural studio Wingårdhs, now wearing a sedate Scandinavian palette of greys and warm woods punctuated into modernity with strategic ribbons of color.

Photo by Andre Pihl

Wingårdhs has done an exemplary job of balancing the historic charm of the original hotel with an aesthetic modernity without ever unnecessarily eclipsing the buildings bones, nor the eye-widening views afforded from the best rooms facing the historic Strandvägen and the ice-laden waters of Nybroviken.

What I most enjoyed during my stay at The Strand was the tasteful continuity from public to private spaces guided by color and material from the ground floor up, with the occasional joyful surprise revealed from certain vantage points – like the sky-high atrium illuminated with bespoke teardrop LED fixtures that made jet-lagged 6am breakfasts seem more magical than dreadful.

Miss Clara by Nobis is another Wingårdhs hotel, a spotlight that reveals our personal affinity and the architecture firm’s penchant for new life breathed into old spaces. The 7-story Art Noveau building offers guests a choice from 92 rooms, no doubt all more comfortably appointed for comfort than for its previous tenants when the building was a girls’ school in the early 1900’s. Dark woods, herringbone floors, and a spare amount of furnishings permits sunlight to occupy these rooms with an equal presence as any physical object, making Miss Clara’s modest rooms feel rather spacious.

As a professed fan of Ilse Crawford, I look forward to my next trip to Stockholm and staying inside the lively intermingling of home and hotel within the Ett Hem. Where the other two previous accommodations lean toward modernity framed by history, the Ett Hem is proudly mismatched and committed to cozy. If there’s any such things as “vintage for today” it’s best represented by the Ett Hem, with decor that feels less styled as inhabited by a lifetime of an appreciation for Scandinavian antiques and design.

With just 12 furnished bedrooms, the Ett Hem will best suit those seeking a home away from home rather than the arm’s distance luxury of most boutique hotels.

WHERE TO VISIT

This March the Nationalmuseum will mount an exhibition dedicated to one of the most influential Scandinavian designers of the 20th, Finn Juhl. Photo: Nationalmuseum

If you only have time to visit one place in Stockholm, I’d implore you to make a stop into Sweden’s Nationalmuseum, for there you’ll not only be able to take in the Sweden’s largest art and design museum with 700,000 objects spanning from the 16th century thru today (I was surprised by how enamored I became with the museum’s exhaustive collection of miniature portraiture), but also experience what a $132 million renovation project can produce.

Photo: Gregory Han

As much as the art and design within will impress, you’ll also experience moments of awe just staring down nested hallways painted vivid and contrasting hues of blue, green, pink, and yellow, and other dramatically framed interior architectural moments realized by Swedish architects Gert Wingard and Erik Wikerstal.

A stop into the Nationalmuseum’s renovated library also is highly recommended for the bibliophiles who will find much to admire in their small collection of book cover art.

Notable mentions: Icy conditions and a cold kept me from visiting the Fotografiska, but it was mentioned numerous times as “must visit” for the creative set \\\ Moderna Museet \\\ Artipelag

WHERE TO SHOP

Photo: Gregory Han

Stockholm is without a doubt one of the best destinations for design in the world. Turn a corner and there’s yet another exemplary reminder of the Swedes’ proficiency for realizing simple, yet highly proficient design that hits the bullseye between contemporary and timeless. A pageantry of Scandinavian and international design fitting this bill is on full display at Svenskt Tenn, a store founded in 1924 in Stockholm by Estrid Ericson, and endorsed passionately by my European counterparts as, “the shop deserving of a stop any time in Stockholm”.

Luca Nichetto’s Heritage exhibition at the front of Svenskt Tenn welcomes visitors with a colorful landscape of mushroom shaped lighting blown with Murano glass. Photo: Svenskt Tenn

Much more than just a store, the front exhibits contemporary and paramount examples of furniture, textiles, lighting, and fashion. Even if your wallet demands a “just window shopping” walk-by, inspiration is commonly and freely discovered to bring back home inside this shop’s two floors.

If I could furnish our entire home with Fogia’s catalog of Scandinavian modern decor, I’d be completely satisfied with living within their contemporary designs all dressed in subtle hues; Fogia partners with designers from across Scandinavia, and the resulting pieces are easily imagined within a home in Southern California as is in Sweden. Fogia Market is the design brand’s retail destination just outside of Stockholm proper, bordering one of the waterways marbling Sweden’s landscape, complete with its own coffee bar in the back.

Past Fogia designs are interspersed throughout the Fogia Market, intended to illustrate the versatility of each piece from past and present.

Operating as a showroom, cafe, and workspace, the airy and repurposed warehouse wears a few visible remnants of its shipyard past, but today houses the Swedish brand’s collection of furniture, lighting and accessories in handsome fashion.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Tip: When visiting Stockholm during winter, be prepared for not only snow, but icy conditions. Arriving from Los Angeles, we required shoes with proper soles to walk around the city.

It seems ideal my first visit to Stockholm coincided with the attendance of several events happening throughout the city during Stockholm Design Week, as the city represents itself quietly as an arbiter of good design both locally and internationally (I found the scope of the design event and accompanying furniture fair more manageable than Salone del Mobile in Milan). Everything I had heard about Stockholm from the perspective of design wasn’t reinforced, but redefined by the city’s embrace (albeit slow) of change.

But just as important were moments spent wandering Stockholm’s streets without definitive purpose nor destination (and occasionally sliding across ice with comical effect). It was during these bundled up jaunts down Stockholm’s quiet snow covered streets where the fleeting swing of a door being opened would allow a moment to peer into warmly illuminated flats, shops, and hearth-lit restaurants, all where the convivial spirit of Stockholm’s citizenry seemed ready to welcome anyone who’d follow through and in from the cold with a warm “Välkommen”.
