Wedge Antilles

Another project from my ‘I’ll do it when I have time’ list and seeing as I had a week before starting my new job I made the most of it. Forget that farm boy Jedi, Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron are where it’s at!  Had the good fortune to meet Denis a few hears ago and he was one of the most genuine and pleasant actors I’ve ever met.

Paul Gauguin : Végétation Tropicale

peint lors de son séjour en Martinique, 1887 🎨

Kunst , Art , painter : Paul Gauguin

[artdesnoires]

This reinterpretation of the Mona Lisa by Guadeloupean artist Chantaléa Commin transforms the classic portrait into a symbol of Caribbean identity and culture. By adorning the figure in madras—a textile historically associated with women in the Caribbean—Commin reclaims the Western masterpiece within a postcolonial context. Titled "Mona Isla," the vibrant colors and patterns of the madras in this painting contrast with the muted tones of the original. Additionally, the headwrap and off-the-shoulder blouse reference the time-honored attire of women in the Caribbean, challenging the Western art canon while celebrating the beauty and uniqueness of Antillean culture.

Jacqueline Scott-Lemoine, femme de théâtre et de Lettres Sénégalo-Haïtienne (1923-2011)

J’ai eu le plaisir de côtoyer ce couple légendaire, à Dakar, durant mon adolescence, ainsi que beaucoup d’auteurs haïtiens, guadeloupéens et martiniquais. Jacqueline SCOTT-LEMOINE et son époux Lucien, avaient pour habitude de déclamer à haute voix des poèmes, souvent d’Aimé Césaire. C’était un régal.  Née le 28 octobre 1923 à Port-au-Prince , descendante d’esclaves venus d’Afrique comme la…

We don’t see much of Margarita in the games, and I decided to use that to design her more loosely based on the canon than some other characters like Yen or Philippa. So I kept the blonde hair, and then rejoined the Netflix adaptation for the skin color, purely for artistic purposes. I sadly don’t draw as many characters of colors that I would want, so this was the opportunity to do so. I gave her an outfit inspired by Indian fashion, also worn by Nenneke’s actress in season 2. I really wanted to give Margarita this maternal, protective and kind vibe of the Aretuza headmistress who wants to protect her students from a potential new Sodden Hill battle.

This fic is one of my *favourite* fics, for the - decidedly book!canon Tissaia/Margarita, I’ll have you know - and this is art is sublime and so true to the feeling of the writing. Go read the story if you’ve not already. Bring tissue and something soft to hug. 

I don't have a choice, but I still choose you. I don't love you, but I always will.

Go give Your Mouth Is Poison (Your Mouth Is Wine) by @clydethistles a read if you are feeling down bad for this ship as I do right now.

Leia found a Youtube channel that has a lot of classic NHL games (filmed on potatoes of course as the NHL is wont to do) and now that I have glasses --

-- did I mention I had to get glasses to pass my vision test to get my ID? Anyway now that I have glasses it turns out I can usually read the jersey numbers so I don't have to rely on telling the players apart by their body language and playstyle.

So I've been watching Wayne Gretzky, who I swear had eyes on the end of his hockey stick to get some of the shot angles he got, moved like a roller skater, fell like a martial artist, let the puck chase him instead of the other way around...

We've been doing good work on our current X-wing story with comparing different pilots' flying styles to the playstyles of hockey greats, since I let Leia try to get me into the hockey a while back and it turned out I get very *specific* with my analyses of certain players (since I'm coming at it from a background of soccer, a little ballet and karate, and watching other people figure skate). "Wedge Antilles flies like Sidney Crosby skates" was not the take I expected to come up with but it honestly really helps?

Anyway I wanted to watch some Gretzky because, you know, he is the standard by which all other hockey players are measured, and I was hoping to maybe come up with some more insights about starfighter piloting, but the main thing I've got is that he was playing more *ice* hockey than anybody else. Definitely anybody else on the rink, possibly anybody else ever.

What do I mean by that? Well, of course, hockey skating is a balance of the goals of the other two kinds of ice skating. Figure skaters (and ice dancers, pairs skaters, that whole category) are about Must Be Graceful/Precise. Speed skaters are of course about Gotta Go Fast. Hockey is about *maneuverability* -- you're fast to catch the puck and make it go where the other team is not, but the most important thing is making the puck go to Destinations, and the second most important thing is keeping the other players from sending you to Destinations (such as the boards, the penalty box, or the hospital).

So anyway, a lot of hockey players, when they're trying to catch the puck, they're basically sprinting down the ice, pumping their elbows and usually flailing their stick to some extent. They're treating the ice like a floor that happens to be slippery, and their skate blades as how they compensate for the slippery. They'd do just as well or better playing field hockey.

Gretzky would have been, I think, absolutely terrible at field hockey. He did not run on the ice. He worked *with* it. He didn't go flailing after the puck -- he kept his center of gravity very controlled in general, his stops were very clean and he played almost crouched a lot of the time -- and while he was waiting for the puck to pop out of a scrum against the boards, he'd be gliding along doing those little wiggles a figure skater uses to build speed, or just moving forward like he was on wheels instead of blades. When he had the puck and was trying to hustle it down to the net, he'd do these smooth crossovers like a figure skater or a rollerblade dancer, keeping his momentum perfectly in line with his center of gravity, no wasted energy at all.

None of which is directly translatable to starfighter tactics, and yet I think it might be helping. It's really hard to articulate what makes Luke Skywalker a good pilot other than he has the Force plus Skywalker recklessness. But I think... I think it's not inaccurate to say that he's just working on a slightly different surface than everybody else?

Like. I don't know if that makes any sense. The other players were running on a floor that was fighting them. Gretzky was *skating*. Luke is flying through the same space as everyone around him, in one sense, but he's also interacting differently with that space -- the Force makes him more able to connect to what's around him and work with it instead of having to fight it.
