#Golden repair

[dreaminginthedeepsouth]

(Art: Kintsugi)  [Kintsugi (金継ぎ, "golden joinery"), also known as kintsukuroi (金繕い, "golden repair"), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise or a reason to discard it.]

I think its good to take the time to fix something rather than throw it away. Its an antidote to wastefulness and to the need for immediate gratification. You get to see a whole process through, beginning to end, nothing abstract about it. You'll always notice the fabric scar, of course, but there's an art to mending. If you're careful, the repair can actually add to the beauty of the thing, because it is a testimony to its worth.

Kintsugi: The Art of Golden Repair That Unites the World

Today in the series, we explore another art form from around the world. Just as we examined Mexican Folk Art in a previous post, today’s post on Japanese kintsugi discusses an ancient art form that brings beauty to something that ordinarily might be discarded due to damage or breakage. I hope you enjoy reading about this wonderful art form and look at the world just a little bit differently…

I'm certain that just one "good girl" from Nanami Kento, would fix 95% of my problems.

I am once again thinking about the reluctant ruler whose arc justly and correctly includes assuming the throne and taking responsibility for the people set before them

okokokok character i have had for a while but basically never talk about

so waaaay back in the show's timeline before Eclipse died the first time he made like 500 something backups of himself that would activate if he got killed, right? Well imagine if one of them glitched out and activated too early.

Imagine if there was one hidden in Sun's head so that if Eclipse got expelled or died somehow, Sun would think that he failed and probably go insane.

That backup activates too early due to a glitch and their code corrupts slowly as a result. Not enough to kill them, but enough to change their personality and make them want to be their own person outside of Eclipse. So they do.

Eclipse goes to charge, so during that moment of "weakness" (i suppose idk) the copy takes over the body, locking Eclipse where they had been and leaving Sun where ever he was.

They'd take over for a while, pushing Eclipse back as they came up with a way to escape. Likely making a temporary body and finding a way to transfer themselves into it and escape, leaving the pizzaplex and living in the woods away from everything, maybe occasionally interacting with the main crew if they think they should.

(that's the base outline for them, i haven't even gotten started with the main lore or other details about them qwq)

(i just wanted to rant to someone about my baby and you said it was ok so yea-)

.........that's a neat concept, actually, and now I'm imagining a world where Dark Sun was actually an Eclipse backup that just fused with Sun or something

I'm also imagining the backup you're talking about and Eclipse as that one Spiderman meme where they're standing and pointing at each other

pressed against the roof tiles,     a bandaged hand kept her ducked down with him,    waiting until the dogs known as the city guard passed them by below.    their heavy footsteps fading into the lantern lit night,    their voices carried by the wind    &.    mist before they too simply   became part of the ghastly scenery. slow is the way riyan stands up,    practiced    ━━━    balancing upon the tiles before a hand is silently offered for her to take.    it takes a while before   the mourning dove    finds their voice,    stitches around throat burning,    pulsating painfully underneath silk wrapped throat.    ❝   they have a nose   ...   for snuffing out  ... outsiders.   ❞    raspy is voice,    blood already pooling in the back of throat,    ready to spill but he swallows it down.  

 ❝   did you  -  at least get    ━━━    ❞   heavy pause,    how they wish to soothe the itch but they refrain from doing so,    forcing to push words out and straining themselves.    ❝    ━━━     get what you needed  ?  ❞ ⊱ @sentinalle, sc.   ⊰
