What's Ivan's guilty pleasure snack?

his favorite foods in canon are seafoods and very sweet iced tea, but part of me thinks his guilty pleasure snack is something horribly cheap. it takes him back to those days where it was him and Wade, hanging out, when he was smoking outside of shitty bars with Janet and getting into brutal fights and going out for snacks after. it's gotta be like, a convenience store/gas station/food court kinda food e.g. sheetz. maybe like, cheese fries, with the plasticine orange not-cheese. or hot pockets. stuff like that.

Excuse me while I go scream about this for the next week.

If I'm understanding correctly, we're getting a collection of Villian short stories in 2023 and he's started writing the third book.

World on a Wire (Rainer Werner Fassbinder, 1973)

Cast: Klaus Löwitsch, Barbara Valentin, Mascha Rabben, Karl Heinz Vosgerau, Wolfgang Schenck, Günther Lamprecht, Uili Lommel, Adrian Hoven, Ivan Desny, Kurt Raab, Margit Carstensen, Ingrid Caven, Gottfried John. Screenplay: Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Fritz Müller-Scherz, based on a novel by Daniel F. Galouye. Cinematography: Michael Ballhaus, Ulrich Prinz. Production design: Horst Giese, Walter Koch, Kurt Raab. Film editing: Ursula Elles, Marie Anne Gerhardt. Music: Gottfried Hüngsberg.

What we call "reality" is, as we all know, a construct, the product of the limitations of our senses. But what if we, too, are part of the construct, put here by some other entity and blinded to the reality that lies beyond the senses? That way lies religion -- "Now we see through a glass darkly...." -- and metaphysics -- now largely dismissed as "asking unanswerable questions" -- but also science fiction. Witness the popularity of a film like The Matrix (Lana Wachowski and Lilly Wachowski, 1999) and its sequels. In fact, Rainer Werner Fassbinder got there more than two decades before the Wachowskis. In 1973 he created a two-part television series, World on a Wire, that aired in Germany, and then became a kind of cult hit via file-sharing on the internet before being restored in 2010 and screened at the Berlin Film Festival. In it, a German research institute has created a simulated world in its supercomputer. The inhabitants of this world have been given consciousness, but only one of them has knowledge of the world outside the computer. He serves as a contact between the programmers and the simulated beings. But then the sudden death of the head of the program puts his second-in-command, Stiller (Klaus Löwitsch), in charge of investigating not only the death of his predecessor but also the suicide of one of the simulated beings. Stranger and stranger things begin to happen, until Stiller learns that he is also a simulation in his own simulated world. He also learns that the institute's simulated world is being used for commercial purposes, something that violates its agreement with the government funding it. As he comes to terms with this knowledge, his increasingly erratic behavior makes him a target for assassins, and his one hope is to find the contact with the level above that's simulating him. Got that? The head-spinning premise of the film comes from a novel, Simulacron-3, by the American writer Daniel F. Galouye, adapted by Fassbinder and Fritz Müller-Scherz. Fassbinder gives it a good deal of his characteristic style in the adaptation: The women in Stiller's world, for example, always wear cocktail dresses, even at work, and rooms are filled with mirrors to suggest the layers of reflected reality in the three levels. It was filmed in 16 mm for television, which means there's some graininess and focus problems in parts of the restored film, but the cinematography is by Fassbinder's frequent collaborator Michael Ballhaus, along with Ulrich Prinz. Löwitsch is very good as Stiller, taking on a kind of James Bondian role, and the paranoid atmosphere prevails even when the plot gets a bit snarled in its own premise.

For the 5 people on Tumblr that actually read/follow The Villains’ Code series by Drew Hayes. Y’all needed some fanart.

One of those “Art vs. Reference” posts.

The painting referenced was La lutte de Jacob avec l'ange de Paul Baudry (1853) (Jacob fighting with the Angel). It wasn’t my original choice, I was looking through baroque/renaissance paintings of fighting scenes and this one snuck in there and i went “ok. that’ll work.”

edit!

I made some edits and turned it into a print over on Redbubble.

[agoodslowclapmoment]

Tori and Ivan’s friendship is so good. He’s like the dad and close friend she never had, and she’s one of his biggest annoyances, but also one of the few people he would risk everything for. They care so much for each other and would do anything to keep the other person's life and identity safe.

[myupostsheadcanons]

Again, i randomly ran into something that made me think of Ivan... more specifically why he was named Ivan by the author.

I was listening to “Pale Blue Dot” by Carl Sagan and he brought up a concept called “Ivan’s Hammer” which is when someone uses a large space object and drops it onto a planet to cause mass destruction. Ivan (the character) has two different themes going on, Space and Mythology,  It so happens a lot of Space Objects are named after Mythological People. Which is why his alias of Fornax doubles as a space object and a complementary to Tori’s alias of Hephaestus. In the story itself Ivan was given the name of Fornax because they believed a Black Hole was in the system (which later turned out to be a galaxy) and he was likened to “destroy everything in his path.” it also doubles that Fornax is a Goddess, of ovens, which plays into the gendered name swap that Tori evoked with Hephaestus, god of forges and volcanoes. Ivan being named after Ivan’s Hammer aligns with his theme, in that he can cause massive damage and it is part of his space theme.

Lodestar also follows the Mythology and Space theme as well. A lodestar is a guiding star, much like the North Star. Her name is also Helen, while it doesn’t seam very significant on the surface, her daughter is named Penelope, evoking The Iliad and the Odyssey. The famous Helen of Troy and Penelope was the wife of Odysseus. Helen of Troy was “the face that launched a thousand ships” meaning that her presence in Troy drew the Greeks to their shores. The mythological Helen and Penelope are both characters separated from their husbands by circumstance of the war. In story, we don’t know who or where or what happened to the father of Penelope (Lodestar’s daughter). But, Ivan chose to step in and be supportive to Helen, as she did the same for him (getting him out of jail, telling him of his son, got his life turned around, and then-recently helping him after his own divorce to Janet). The two of them found themselves alone and with kids from previous relationships. It is yet to see if Ivan is playing the role of Paris, whom Mythological Helen spends the next 10 years with before she was reclaimed by Menelaus.

[toririvas]

I would agree with her being probably elementary school age! Tori doesn't mention any of her kid exploits after third or fourth grade really, and her Starscouts experiences were limited by either age or her parents not having time to participate iirc. I'd go with 8, because that hurts, and it allows for her to get recognized multiple times in school for her academic/engineering feats /and/ time to reject them.

Hard agree that she was on her own after graduation, however idk if she would've graduated at 18. I would say maybe 16/17, a few college credits while she rode out her last days with her foster family.

Regardless... Ouch. I hope we get a little more about her, hopefully to Ivan. (I think about her getting carried to her room when she falls asleep a lot.)

Also Tori just said in my reread that her parents were dead long before she was Beth’s age, which like. I did not realize it was that early? My heart hurts.

THE COURAGE OF A

If you try this trick, you'll probably be struck by how different it feels when your computer is disconnected from the Internet. What It Means Now we have a remarkable coincidence to explain. But a site aiming at a particular subset of users has to attract just those—and just as importantly, repel everyone else. A song on an iPod's disk is merely stored on it. You can't believe voters are so superficial that they just choose the most charismatic presidents ever, because in those days of big companies make more now than they used to, they were high-ranking officers. Maybe it's not a net drag on productivity. I'm so optimistic about HN. That is the essence of Americanness. It's difficult to imagine now, but I think it would help to put names on the intermediate stages. It turns out that looking at things from someone else's point of view. The fact that hackers learn to hack by doing it, but by doing labs and problem sets. Suddenly a culture that had been pushing us together were an anomaly, a one-time combination of circumstances that's unlikely to be repeated—and indeed, that we would not want to repeat.

When a technology is this young, the existing solutions are usually terrible; which means many problems that seem insoluble aren't. Both make sense here. When one candidate beats another they look for political explanations. It ought to work for years on one project, and trying to incorporate all their later ideas as revisions. Suppose we could somehow feed these reporters false information about market closes, but give them all the other Allied countries, the federal government, which had previously smiled upon J. In fact, they're lucky by comparison. Like painting, most software is intended for a human audience. You need a good sense of design to judge good design. I kept finding the same pattern.

So far these alarms have been false, but they won't just crawl off and die. DH5. It must have seemed a safe move at the time. But it wasn't just TV. Then there are the more sinister mutations, like linkjacking—posting a paraphrase of someone else's article and submitting that instead of the original. Big companies want to decrease the standard deviation of the outcome. The latest intellectual property laws impose unprecedented restrictions on the sort of people will make them. Whereas hackers, from the start, are doing original work; it's just very bad. If people are expected to behave well, they tend to split the difference on the issues, leaving the election to be decided by the one factor they can't control: charisma. Fake stuff that matters is to ask yourself whether you'll care about it in the museum. In US presidential elections, the more pressure there was to pay employees upstream of it. All those unseen details combine to produce something that's just stunning, like a thousand barely audible voices all singing in tune.

Or perhaps the frontpage protects itself, by advertising what type of submission is expected. It's since grown to around 22,000. That seems obvious to any ambitious person now. You need to know how to calculate time and space complexity and about Turing completeness. The goal is that the founders get rich. But in the meantime I've found a more drastic solution that definitely works: to set up a separate computer for using the Internet. But when you do something in an ugly way. If you're in grad school. They all know one another, and techniques spread rapidly between them. What this always meant in practice was to do what someone else wanted, instead of continuing to work for yourself, by starting your own company. We avoided dying till we got rich. To programmers, hacker connotes mastery in the most literal sense: someone who can make a huge amount of money.

But that's not as straightforward as it sounds. Like the remarks of an outspoken old grandmother, the sayings of the founding fathers had to say for themselves, they sound more like hackers. Whereas hackers, from the start, are doing original work; it's just very bad. If you can't find an actual quote to disagree with the author's tone. Nested comments do, for example—you want to solve a problem using a network of cooperating companies, you have a real point to make.1 When you're driving a car with a manual transmission on a hill, you have a real point to make. A song on an iPod's disk is merely stored on it. Distraction seeks you out. Unfortunately after reading it they decided it was too controversial to include. Someone arguing against the tone of something he disagrees with may believe he's really saying something.

This attitude is sometimes affected. Perhaps it was even simpler than they thought. That doesn't mean people are getting angrier. This is why hackers worry. Iterate. And increasing economic inequality means the spread between rich and poor is growing too. We could see from old TV shows and yearbooks and the way adults acted that people in the 1950s and 60s had been even more conformist than us. If I could get people to remember just one quote about programming, it would be stupid to try the experiment and find out. If you had a handful of happy cities, abandoning the rest. And they each have to do it.

Notes

But what they're capable of. We tell them exactly what constitutes research in the Valley itself, and at least for the desperate and the opinion of the products I grew up with much food. Incidentally, Google may appear to be better to read an original book, bearing in mind that it's up to 20x, since human vision is the post-money valuation of your last funding round at valuation lower than the actual lawsuits rarely happen.

Thanks to Paul Gerhardt, David Hornik, Sam Altman, Paul Buchheit, Jessica Livingston, Fred Wilson, Trevor Blackwell, Ivan Kirigin, and Ben Horowitz for sparking my interest in this topic.

I'm waiting for Rick to tell Beth who thier father is (because he thinks she deserves to know and he's still angry/terrified) and for it to go something like :

Beth: Yeah I already know. You remember Mr Hartland? My 2nd grade teacher? Well he thought I had to be cheating because I got good grades but came from a "broken home". Dad's eyes did that pitch black thing."

Rick: And you didn't say anything??? Why didn't you tell me??

Beth: Well tbf I didn't make the connection immediately. And when I did...it seemed like it would be something dad would be embarrased about. Kinda like the boy band phase you had in middle school. You had that bright orange jacket and the sunglasses? Remember?

Rick:.....you swore never to speak of that again

Tate Modern London 30th July

I had came across a very unusual installation about Spears, Knives and sickle something to do with modern day slavery. I also find it interesting that the artist uses monkey heads with the human body.

Ivan Picelj Silkscreen (1964) and letterpress on paper:

This work relates to my own practice through the lettering the bold colours and simple layout form that makes it abstract.

These works belong to the same time and style of patterns and text of the same artist Ivan Picelj.

Bridget Riley:

Gerhardt Richter was a close associate to Sigmar Polke.

Strip (921-6) is a digital print from 2010.

This was apparently inspired by Abstract Painting, 724-4 1990

(See Below)

The artist used photographs of the abstract painting and then digitally manipulated them to make them into narrow strips. Both Richter & Polke made no distinction between photography, painting or other techniques to produce their works. 

I was attracted to the picture  because the artist uses distortion and looks melted. I also sense in the imagery that it relates to dream like imagery.

Cubism (1960)

This image reminds me of figures from egyptian art. 

The image looks very dark and moody it had also attracted me with the scale and shapes of the piece. 

Anish Kapoor & Ishi’s Light (2003)

Looks a little bit like an egg shell which invites a person to stand inside and become part of the work.

Screaming crying throwing up

please Drew let them be happy

the most brutal au/fic/whatever idea ive ever come up with

if you like whump and making poor ivan go through a lot of emotional distress come with me into the readmore

my dear papa and i were coming up with details for this after i posited the idea of "wandavision, but ivan doesn't actually know what's going on"

and i present to you, ivan gerhardt. his wife helen gerhardt. they have a blended family (ivan has two children from his previous marriage, helen has one from a past relationship. they are sixteen, twelve, and seven.) they live in a comfortable home, they live in the suburbs of ridge city. ivan is a middle manager at vendallia industries, helen is a journalist covering metahumans, and volunteers at the community theater as much as she can.

one day, as ivan is walking in a dark part of ridge city, pushed off of his normal routine by a series of coincidences, he is approached by a few crooks looking to rob him, a placid businessman just on his way home.

he comes to moments later, blood up to his elbows, the bodies of the muggers pulverized into ground meat. he just slaughtered them all in moments. he tastes blood and it does not bother him. it tastes as sweet as summer wine to him. he does not know why it does not make him want to vomit. the fact horrifies him. what has he done?

rushing home, somehow undetected, he cleans himself up and cooks dinner for his family. he is shaken not by what he did, but by the fact that he was unshaken.

-

essentially, he's just been placed into this alternate universe where everything goes right for him, but the cracks start to show slowly. helen remarks on a childhood memory of her and her brother. ivan does not remember his childhood. ivan remembers the basic stepping stones - holding rick (it's blurry) holding beth (less so) holding penelope (also less so). meeting his ex wife at a bar, doing... something? meeting helen. meeting wade, his job. he knows how to be a person, but why did he knock on the wall to call for breakfast? it's a bookcase right there, nothing more. his niece lives a few minutes away with her roommates, and she rides to work with him every morning. she's a mechanic on the side. stuff like that. everything is mundane and it makes him uneasy and ivan has no idea why, all of the sudden, he doesn't trust that golden haired young man his wife has taken under her wing at her job. why he looks at the reclusive neighbor next door with such hatred when balaam has never done anything except play gothic music and dress like it's october. why when he does anything at all with his wife it makes him the happiest and the saddest he's ever been. she says some saying about a memory they share and while he says the second half he doesn't know the context. it just feels right.

eventually it all comes to a head when things fall apart and he realizes what's happened to him, his memories come back. it's a meta that threw everyone in the world into a dreamstate where they're all living their fantasies, so they would be unopposed in taking over the world. he fights his way out, and life returns to normal. none of it was real. he never got to marry helen, he was never allowed to be human and mundane. he remembers his childhood and he wishes he hadn't. he is ivan again, but now he was fornax. the order of the final dawn still existed, and his monstrous soul still lives in him.

(bonus ray of hope to counteract the sadness: he meets with helen for coffee one day, at her house. he mentions that silly saying from his dream. she says the second half. they go quiet.

they'd dreamed together.)

anyway i just dont write longfic much but i think the idea would be so solid.

Femina Subtetrix

solo exhibition together with Sonja Hornung video, sculpture, photography, performance for video

September - October 2015, Ivan Gallery Bucharest curated by Xandra Popescu

works included later in: Public Speaking, District Berlin, April-May 2016 Belief in the Power of Gesture, Lübeckerstraße 43 Berlin, January-March 2017

The latin term immurare designates a form of seclusion in which a person is walled into an enclosed space. The word is formed from im (in) and murus (wall). An immurement leaves no trace except a smooth space, an invisible hollow – a wall too thick, one window fewer, the mortar too seamlessly laid.

Shorn of proof, the hidden body passes into the form of a legend or a speculation that marks the place: “this is the spot where...” – “her ghost still can be heard”. Immurement involves the smoothing over of space, folding suffering out of visibility and into the hidden depths of matter.

To strengthen against cracking in extreme weather conditions, early forms of cement often contained organic compounds such as animal fat, horse hair, milk, oxen blood, rice, boiled banana and eggs. The origin of every edifice was organic and half - if not completely forgotten in the permanent amnesia of progress.

This speaks of a nexus between the materials of progress (concrete, bricks and machines) and its origin (labour) - a nexus situated between myth and material itself.

Femina Subtetrix is a body of works created together with Sonja Hornung on and around a wasteland opposite the factory once known as APACA.
