Your random thoughts are the best ❤️

Oh man that is definitely one of the most tragic aspects, the loss of the yuths 😢 true! To be in the middle of the whole despair is unimaginable... For real and one would imagine how the rebels became so tight with each other indeed sharing so much, and then seeing how fleeting life is, because even killing to survive is traumatizing... I remember you mentioning how Dilla was hit emotionally when she had to kill her first enemy and how fragile his life was in her perspective, for she killed him as easily as she hunted animals 😢 yeah not even time for mourning...

Oh gosh sorry I went extra dark there! But damn it would be so heavy on him if someone asked!

So true!!

The Iliad Plague

Honestly I am disappointed at how little we talk about the Iliad plague that was sent by Apollo in the first rhapsody of the Iliad to the Greeks after Chryses, Apollo's priest, begged for justice for the disrespect Agamemnon showed him plus the fact that his daughter was not returned to him.

"First he stroke the mules and the swift dogs but then he shot his shafts to the humans themselves and the funeral pyres were burning non-stop and crowded and for nine days the army was being assaulted by the God's arrows"

(Translation by me)

So we basically get that the plague spread to animals first and then swiftly passed to humans and it became deadly very quickly.

It seems like a classic case of an assault of the bacteria Yersina which is responsible for three major plagues; the bubonic, septisemic and pneumonic plagues. All three seem to be associated with transmission from animals to humans. In this case my random guess would be that this would be the case or a pneumonic plague. It transmits from the breathing of fumes and it is much easier transmittable from one person to another given that both other plagues require the mix of bodily fluids. Since the disease seems to strike animals commonly not associated with food like mules or dogs it seems more probable the disease was of a lung nature.

The main symptoms of a pneumonic plague are:

Fever

Headaches

Shortness of breath

Chest pain

Intense coughing

Hemoptysis (aka "coughing out blood")

It seems indeed highly probable that the plague was of such nature which would lead to a large number of soldiers suffer from headaches and fever which gradually got worse and added coughing chest pain and coughing out blood (the other plagues have also intense vomiting-boubonic- and blood infection -septisemic-). Various post-homeric and mainly early Roman sources speak on the contributing of Palamedes suggesting better diet and exercise countering the effects of the plague or preventing it. Although traditionally we know plagues can be effectively cured with the use of antibiotics it is probable that the mention of cardio exercise could be a wink that a good cardio system can defend itself against lung diseases.

Either way it surprises me that the losses of war when studied rarely mention the results of this plague since many people count only the deaths in battle and not this which is ironically the only set of deaths seemingly affecting only the Greek side. It is interesting given how many times cities being surrounded by armies are the first to suffer from diseases rather than the people outside (although both sides suffer eventually from diseases). Realistically speaking we do understand why we see so many mentions of diseases.

And again when it comes to the sequel Odyssey as well, very few people consider not only the losses Odysseus undoubtedly suffered in battle but also one should expect he lost a man or two from the plague as well (mind you I can easily imagine some kings also being affected by it at least at early stage especially the less vigorous such as Nestor because of age or Menelaus if we take my headcannon that he probably was a bit frail of health later as I mentioned to the post tagging @thehelplessmortals which could indeed back up more how careful Helen was with him since plagues do affect massively the health of lungs or heart permanently

More vigorous and fighting fit characters like Achilles or Diomedes or Odysseus and Agamemnon seemed less likely to have been stroke by the plague. Achilles is also the one who calls upon council of kings to find a solution.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

During my collaboration with @artsofmetamoor I always entertain the thought of disease to the various war camps. Disease would often be the most common way soldiers died instead of battles.

In our stories our characters suffer a lot of many things but this also makes me do a note to self to refer more on plagues or diseases

The Gifted Graduation: GIRL POWER!

Alright, Gifted Graduation episode 11 aired, what else to expect apart from plot twists, reveals, thrills and worries for our characters. We also got introduced to a few WOMEN this time, each one of them being so important and so useful for this show. First of all, let's return back to the way this show is written so you can get what I'm going to be writing about: it showcases a message about idealism for a better world and how this message is fought for or interpreted in different generations ( this happens when we look at how our fated pairs portray this ideology/how they fight against the system). 

The system is a set of ways and rules, and ideas about how the gifted characters are used/treated in their world. We're going to start this with the first creator of this messed up system Supot, he’s the originator of this hellish system that the gifted programme is based on. He's the one who experiments and uses and discards people according to their importance to him. This system is a metaphor for the laws/regulation, and perceptions society has had when it comes to the perceived minorities of the world. Today I'm going to focus on the voice and the importance of the women in this show, but you know what's incredible is that we also got to see that same writing and mirroring with the girls as we look through their role with the fated pairs and how they're introduced this season.  Let's begin: 

We have our fated pairs who are destined to butt heads with each other of over this theme of idealism, power, and change, but what about the girls who found themselves in the middle, or connected to our pairs: Our three/ maybe four incredible, powerful and beautiful women? This pattern is so unbelievable for me because the story and the way these three women were portrayed was also to showcase the journey of women empowerment, advocacy and equality during the four generations of this show with the gifted programme (i.e. the problematic system of the show). 

Let's look at our wonderful girls 

We have Nate; she represents the cold, closeminded, and difficult time in a policy where women were powerless and couldn't do anything for themselves. 

We have no woman with our second fated pairing, but I feel like Darin is her placeholder (she's the same age, job and the same use as Pom in this programme) which represent the disappearance and the way women were not viewed as useful in a patriarchal society when it came to changing the world.

 We have Namtan (NAMTAN my girl) who represents when women started to want to speak out; women came out as curious, excited (the same time where we begin to see someone like Pang who wants hope for the world to change, the system is starting to be viewed as wrong and it needs to crumble) 

And lastly, we have Grace, and also Adult Grace who represents what women can be now, we can be in charge of the operation, in control, more knowing, the only solution to problems and also needed. 

I think this is powerful, and I wanted people to see and know this more because this pattern is so intriguing during a show which already showcases how generations have changed and started to fight for what is good and right: equality, freedom of speech, and justice. In a world where things seem crazy, disappointing and still needs change, the growth from seeing the transformation/importance of the roles of these women as time passes is so inspiring and powerful. So here we go this is my girl power post, my break down again of why Gifted Graduation the series is incredible and the messages of this show is so relatable and needed in this year where we too are currently trying to fight for what we want all over the world. 

NATE:SILENCED, USED AND ABANDONED

Let's look at our message; idealism for change and a better world, right? The fated pair connected to Nate is Yuth and Supot. One because she is the girlfriend of  Yuth, and she is wanted and longed for by Supot who views her as his property(she's supposed to love him and be his because she fell for a fake copy of him). 

When looking at the message of the show, Supot represents the set in their way, harsh, and pessimistic view of a system that has been winning and succeeding in hurting and maiming people, and it was acceptable to do so. In the same way, Nate represents women in this sort of time where this type of system saw women as obedient, properties and objects only seen as companions to men, only seen as successful when married or when they give birth. This is the system where it was okay that women were seen as less than men, right? 

Hear me out: Look at how Nate is used in her story/time, and we even see more of the treatment in this episode: 

One we're introduced to her as Supot's companion: She's not useful, only brings food, and there to spend time with Yuth (who she thinks is Supot). 

The real Supot sees no use for her yet until it's time to use her as an experiment (his property).  

This leads to her being used, end up being hurt and discarded once Supot and Yuth don't know how to cure her. 

She's thrown away from the story, and Supot and Yuth lose focus of her to focus on the ministry. 

When I look at this, I already see Nate being used for other's benefits, hurt and broken because of being used, and also just as an object to help Supot reach his objective with the virus that he discovers. 

Plot-wise: she is only useful when she's submissive, and allows her self to be manipulated. After she gets hurt, she's thrown away from the plot, and the focus is on something else more important like the virus and the experiment. 

This is how women were used and treated in this type of generation; they were forced to be submissive because they felt like they had no choice, they were silenced and discarded once used, and no one heard the cries or screams, and they were only used only to advance men when it came to life. Their sole purpose was to be a companion to another man. I still cry for women in the past where this was okay. But Like Supot, this system in the patriarchal world was seen as the norm/ winning way. This was accepted because women didn't think they were strong or powerful enough to fight against it.

We then look at Nate's role in episode 11: still representing the same role. 

In episode 11, we find out that Nate was forced to change her identity, to go into hiding. 

One because she has no identity of her own this further proves again a time where women were just seen as objects with no personality of their own, no voice of their own, no strengths of their own.  

She was under Supots powers this whole time to do his bidding. Again she's forced to be submissive, obedient and scared. 

She tries to fight each time she wakes up from his powers, but she's too weak to do so. 

Finally, she tells Supot she will never love him or conform to him, and she is then killed. See what I mean? 

This is like the time when if women did something to rebel or try to go against the 'law' they were hurt, broken down, or silenced so they could not stand up for themselves. Society forced women for so long to stay voiceless, accept the life they were forced into and let themselves be hidden. It hurts, and that's what happened to Nate as well. In a system where things are set in their ways, where Supot views people as dispensible, voiceless, and tools. The woman who was by his side was also the same. She couldn't do anything to make a change. I think this is so painful but needed to be understood and changed. 

N/DARIN; HIDDEN, DEVALUED AND POWERLESS

This is what intrigued me when we look at Chanon and Pom's time. Their system represents when people started to question what was right or wrong but kept quiet when different rules had begun to seem too harsh when people started to make plans in secret; things were hidden in subtext, people ran underground to hide and be safe. People tried to fight for freedom and rights, but it still ended up failing. 

The interesting thing when we get to this is that there is no girl connected to Chanon and Pom, we could argue Darin since she plays the same role to them, she's the same age range, and she fits into this role as well.  

But I just saw it as N, the representation of women's voice being hidden (like Nate was after being discarded), devalued and powerless, This is the same way that Chanon and Pom feel by the end of their time; 

Women may have started to question what's happening, started wanting to change the system,

But the system ensured that people who tried to fight just got proven that they can't, that nothing will change and it'll always be that way. 

No girl is helping Chanon and Pom, because women weren't viewed as useful or significant for change. 

They weren't seen as intelligent, and their skills were undervalued and did not add anything to the system. They were missing but not for long. 

 Let's look at Darin with this same theme. Darin is also useless, we see times where she tries to make a change, to stand up for her self, to question what's right.For example trying to not hurt Supot at first, finding a cure for the kids, and with ensuring Pang says what he wants to say. 

But her refusing to listen to the minister just makes things worse. So her advice and help is useless and not significant to the story. Also, she later gets under Supot's control, she is powerless under the ministry, and she is then hidden away from the storyline. 

She is a perfect example for the girl who could have been with Chanon and Pom as she finds her self in their situation, hopeless, devalued and defeated. 

NAMTAN: INQUISITIVE, EFFECTIVE AND INTELLECT

Then we get to our show, the message/system for this time of our generation. The Gifted first started with Pang and Wave and so with PangWave duo came someone who caused a change in our pattern so far. 

We get Namtan. 

From the beginning of Gifted Season 1, she's someone who knows she's intelligent and she goes for it.

 She's curious, the person who first discovers hints and secrets to the past and she's the brains of her new friendship group with Pang and Ohm. 

She also later speaks to Wave our next person in our fated pairs, she's the person who listens to him and convinces him with Pang that he could trust and be seen. 

We are starting to see a shift with this system: the woman is needed, she's important, she has clues we need to know, she's intelligent and helps us understand things differently, she's kind and warm and helps people too.

 We finally have a badass with Namtarn, and it's a relief to see. Pang and Wave pairing represent belief, determination, and advocacy for a change.

No longer will people just accept what's wrong, but we'll fight for it too, no longer will women sit back and not be heard. Still, we'll call things out too; we'll start to fight for equality to be seen as necessary, we'll begin to want to make headways, we'll begin to follow our dreams and our intuitions, and we'll start to matter too.

The best part of episode 11 is when she shows up again. 

She's still the brains of the mission, still the heart and the person who helps Ohm understand what he has to do, 

She's always helping and being useful even when she was forced to leave.

 Women at this time may sometimes feel compelled to give in, may sometimes feel pushed to the side, but we still fight for our voices to be heard with Pang and Wave symbolising hope and the idealism for change and equality, Namtan shows up as a refreshing symbol also for that in her own trio. 

However, in her story, they were still beaten, she still struggled towards the end of season 1, and she gave in to Supot because she wasn't trusted enough by Pang to help in his plans. 

There were still times where her help was devalued, pushed away or defeated. 

So we go to the next generation and that's:

GRACE: BOSS, HEADSTRONG AND IN CONTROL

The best one ever:

She's badass, bold, and doesn't care about people trying to stop her, she gets her way no matter what (episode 1) even if she has to find a different way to do so. She won't be pushed to the side, 

But she also is caring and intuitive. 

She's a boss; she calls her own shots in episode 11, she is useful to the operation and then she becomes in charge of the process. 

She's the person needed to keep fighting, her voice and her powers are required in order to save everyone from giving up. 

Grace is us, the new hope for our world, the hope where women don't stay behind anymore or let ourselves be treated differently. She's the voice of the voiceless this episode, a problem solver, and a  jack of all trades; I always wondered why she said she was this in episode 1 to Time when they were cheating the system to allow the gifted program (her already not conforming to rules and the system for her own wants and needs), but now I get it. It's because women can be good at anything, no labels, no difference we're equal), she's strong, and she's used by no one else but her self. 

I think this is such an important and power move from this show because whilst:

Nate being controlled and manipulated under Supot.

Darin controlled and manipulated under Supot.

Namtan's memories wiped under Pom and Supot's control.

They ended up being controlled and  influenced by others. But not Grace, Grace avoids it repeatedly because  she's always saving her self because of her potential ;

She avoids being controlled by Supot with the virus

 she evades Pom's memory pause because of her future self waking her up,

And she avoids being caught by Supot in episode 11 because her future self wakes her up

And  two she doesn't let anyone tell her what to do, and three she is controlled by her own potential (a metaphor that women have a great potential to become great and amazing if given the chance to. Tap into your potential and be whoever you want to be and change the world to how you want it )

I think it's incredible the fact her powers are to do with finding her most powerful, hopeful, needed self (the future of women) to help with the mission, the fact that she doesn't get manipulated any more by Supot's trick, and the fact that Supot will be blindsided by everything she did this episode. 

It's the message of the show, no matter how much it seems like things are falling apart for whatever or whoever you are, whatever you feel you've been fighting for that society has to respect and treat right or whatever that makes you feel useless/discarded; no matter what keep fighting, keep being you, keep opening up and standing for what's right. 

This generation is born to be woke, we don't mess around, we don't let things stay the way they are, we fight, we scream, and our opinions matter. The fact that the gifted have this parallel showing the growth of self-acceptance and importance women have gone through is so incredible. So yeah girl power! This one is for all the feminists and the women who are doing their own thing, standing up for what they believe and doing what makes them happy. Don't let anyone tell you, you're not strong, beautiful and needed. You are.

Tara’s preferred media of the moment is gouache, but she also utilises software like Photoshop and Illustrator for her client work. Photo – Amelia Stanwix.

The designer splits her time between her own label and creating prints for other Australian labels. Photo – Amelia Stanwix.

‘My mum definitely had an influence on me wanting to create a label, I just didn’t expect to start it so young,’ tells Tara. Photo – Amelia Stanwix.

Upon graduating from high school, Tara Whalley knew a creative career was for her, but was a little bewildered as she began to explore the many tertiary pathways. Things became all the more clear at her interview for RMIT’s BA of Textile Design. ‘I had a good feeling about it; you could take all your love of experimenting creatively and develop a product, and bring it back to that practical level,’ recalls Tara. ‘I loved the idea of learning how to create wearable art.’

Tara had grown up around beautiful fabrics, watching her mother make everything she wore. While at uni, the textile designer developed a little scarf label for the student market, and caught the attention of a store owner, who placed a wholesale order. This was the real moment Tara realised she also loved the ‘business side’ of fashion.

Another formative experience was a year spent in Guatemala, where Tara worked on product and textile design with war-affected women. Along with being an introduction to new products and processes, this year abroad led to a sustainable and ethical footwear collection for ALAS the label, and developing prints for Rebel Yuths Milan runway Collection.

Tara’s latest collection, ‘Homely’, explores feelings of connection and community. Based on her original gouche paintings, the vibrant textiles in this collection are inspired by her immediate environment – her eclectic home studio. Motifs include details from persian rugs, house plants, as well as Tara’s closest friends and family. The ‘Held’ print, in particular, was inspired by a moment at Golden Plains music festival where the whole crowd joined in an embrace during a tear-jerker of a track. ‘I wanted to create a print with the feeling that you were being held by your friends and family wherever you went,’ the designer explains. Meanwhile, ‘Faces’ spotlights pals on a similar creative path – Esther of Togetherness Design and Esther’s partner Pelham.

Tara’s prints are fashioned into a variety of dresses, skivvys, skirts – ‘Trans-seasonal garments for effortless style’. Feeling comfortable, confident, in high-quality fabrics is a big priority for Tara, and all prints are limited edition to keep it small unique and special.

Tara’s Wildflower Collection is also currently available, featuring a linen jumpsuit painted on a trip to central Australia with Edith Rewa, and wrap dress featuring her studies of beautiful flowers from Mt Kosciuszko. ‘I like to spontaneously drop new styles, as I feel like it makes people interested to stay in the loop!’

Find out more and keep up with Tara Whalley’s her current ranges on her website. The designer is currently in Los Angeles, working on a new collection, and also has a curated pop-up in the works for next year.
