mi rendo conto or ora che la mia combo faccia che non sa cosa siano le e-mail + occhiaie + maglione bianco + cappotto blu mi rende una ottima cosplayer spontanea di tutti i personaggi di the terror e posso dire che sarà un po’ il freddo sarà un po’ il mood ma l’umore ultimamente si aggira a quello della crew verso l’episodio boh, facciamo 7 per essere ottimisti

Hey, i was curious on how you ended up being sure of which Deity was possibly calling to you to be worshipped/worked with? I just don’t want to accidentally offend any possible God, is my biggest worry i think.

Oh, hmm. That's a difficult one. I never "turned" to paganism due to a call. I grew up in Europe and the religions and deities I'm involved in are basically part of the daily life culture and religions of some areas, groups and families here. For example: On my maternal grandfather's side my family is/was Jewish and it's roots are located in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. Some of my relatives there are from Greece and some are from Poland. Judaism and Hellenism go way back together so that's my connection to those two. The Polish part and the fact that I live in a part of my country where Slavo-Celtic culture is native and my Dad's side of the family has most of its roots here is why I work with Slavic gods, but also Bohémien Romani Culture, along with my maternal grandma's side of the family having (much deeper) roots in that, which goes hand in hand with migration through South-Eastern and South-Western Europe throughout the generations.

Then another huge aspect of the place I grew up in, that has no direct connection with my family, but it's like what everyone here does is conservative Catholicism. Meanwhile my family's religions and cultures fall more into a niche that came together due to WW2 refugees and the post-war experiences of the past 2-3 generations, but Catholicism is what is practiced in the news, taught in the schools etc. It's what the country wants everyone to be and it's highly politicized.

So idk. I think a lot of European practicioners of Pagan religions aren't practicioners of Neo-Paganism, but rather just their native religions? I think it's okay though if people who didn't grow up here and didn't grow up with these same roots, engage in it and practice it.

I think there's no wrong way to worship a god, as long as you don't do harm onto others and as long as you don't distort his meaning, background and culture. Basically, as long as you don't invent new and false narratives and use a religion to inflict harm onto others, you should be fine. I can't speak for other religions than my own, I know there's some with closed practices native to the American, African and Australian continents. Maybe also in Asia. It might also be a good idea to talk with native practitioners in each religion you take interest in, to learn about it from them. Just be mindful if those people are offering. For example, I am willing to answer single questions like that, but I'm not in a place where I'd take on the venture to fully educate people about my own religions, bc my life is difficult and I need to focus on surviving and recovering from a bunch of severe things rn.

One thing I can maybe link, are these two posts:

A Prior Ask and A Post About My Altar

where I answered a previous question and where I describe my own journey and worship a bit. Tbh, I think nowadays, nobody ships like in antiquity anymore. We have some rituals here, that I engage in annually, like the Rauhnächte (Slavic/Celtic, 2 weeks of winter solstice festivities), Sunwendt (local equivalent to Midsummar/summer solstice), and a bunch of Hellenic festivities in neo/native mixed communities, as well as digitally with my relatives, when maybe a decade ago we'd visit each other for them, but it's grown to expensive and we've grown to old and weary I think, many connective family members died etc. I mostly dedicate beautiful things, personal things and trinkets as offerings to the Gods, nowadays, rarely something strictly traditional.

So I think working with a god and following one's call is also highly personal and again, as long as you do no harm, don't warp anything, there should be nothing in your way. It's mostly a venture to explore a side of yourself, in the end, after all. Imo, spirituality is something every human has, it's just up to us where we dedicate it and how we express it. Finding the healthiest, most peaceful way for yourself might be what's key. I hope this helps. <3

Finished drawing my character designs/ line up of the Light Fingers Crew to formalize my drawing of them

Overview/ Design talk under the cut if anyone is interested in that sort of thing

For all the designs I used the art given for them in the game as a starting point and then went from there. For all but Hephaesta of course that means using a non character specific art. I also wanted all the colors to sort of fit together so where i would have done more vibrant stuff and i strayed away from that.

Clara and Her Sister

Putting the discussion for these two together, as their designs recieved similar thoughts because they are identical twins. ('She is wearing the Fading Music-Hall Singer's face, which seems rude.')

The basic art of the bohemian faction is used to depict the sisters.

So this was my basic starting point for the visual design. I ended up diving further into research into bohemian fashion, which of course lead to me reading up on the history of the term and the connection to the Romani people. According to wikipedia, the word comes from the french term 'bohémien', which was the word for the Romani people.

This of course put a complex spin when i looked into the clothing used in the time, as theres a question between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation, and one I don't have the full understanding for.

Nevertheless i did take some inspirtation for the clothing here, Clara with having her hair loose and down and looser clothing, the singer with the hair scarf and the necklace among some inspirations.

Inbetween the two I imagine the singers appearance to be more reserved then Clarabelle's. For one, my interpretation of the singer is as someone who uses her singing as a backdrop for sneaking and gathering information (per her role as a 'contact' of the player). The other being that we are told Clara's title is the 'eccentric opera singer' to me implies a grander sense of creatativity and wilder clothing. In less stressful times I imagine her wearing brighter clashing colours and skirts with patterns on them and jewlery (which i intend to draw at a later time when i get better at adding patterns to clothes lol).

We also know the two of them are 'not young' so i attempted to not make them appear so.

Hephaesta

Heph is of course the one character of the group with a personalized art, which i used as the base for my design.

Hephaesta is supposed to be a large figure, as she is a strongwoman, and is described as towering over even jasper and frank. So of course I had to make her tall compared to the others of the group.

And of course i can't go without bringing up Katie Sandwina (again), a real strongwomen of the time who serves as a great inspiration both in body type and height.

What a woman huh.

Dr Vaughan

The Campaigner template art was the one used to depict her when you first speak to her and was a starting point here.

To me i always pictured her as a fairly older women given her experience and amount of time she's been researching. Clearly someone with a lot of exprience. And also i just vibe with it.

I kept her outfit simple, as i dont figure her as someone to put too much into the latest fashion given her focus on her work. I took the green from the art to use as her skirt to tie in that colour. I also looked up some photos of female doctors of the time and that partially influenced my art direction here.

Obliging Silverer

I debated including him or not given that you only have him as part of the team if you use the light fingers exclusive option to access the parabolan basecamp. But given the fact that he literaly dies defending the camp, I think its only fair that he gets included.

i just had a bit of fun with the design as there wasnt too much to restrict off. I dont draw a lot of characters with mustaches depsite them being a thing of the time, so I figured this was a good excuse as any. I kept with some orange colours within his colour scheme for further callbacks to parabola and his work.

Also hey did you know that people of an ashkenazi background can also have red hair? Fun fact heh.

Anonym. Bohémien (ein Künstler?), around 1845.

[nemosisworld]

Par les soirs bleus d’été, j’irai dans les sentiers, Picoté par les blés, fouler l’herbe menue : Rêveur, j’en sentirai la fraîcheur à mes pieds. Je laisserai le vent baigner ma tête nue.

Je ne parlerai pas, je ne penserai rien : Mais l’amour infini me montera dans l’âme, Et j’irai loin, bien loin, comme un bohémien, Par la Nature, – heureux comme avec une femme.

Mars 1870

I battuti

Scrive l'autore nella sua prefazione:

If any city in American deserves the title of home of the Beat Generation, it is San Francisco. Although New York can rightly boast to be the birthplace of the Beats, the literary group came to maturity and national prominence in this most beautiful city by the bay. In the 1950s San Francisco was a magnet attracting inventive writers, artists, and thinkers during the conservative postwar years. Intellectual freedom blossomed with the publication and trial of “Howl” and by the 1960s, San Francisco was the destination of choice for a new generation of radical innovators.

La foto di copertina, di Larry Keenan, scattata davanti al City Lights Bookstore, è del 1965 e comparve anche sulla copertina del numero tre del City Lights Journal che uscì con data 1° gennaio 1966. Lawrence (aka Lorenzo) Ferlinghetti voleva documentare la scena Beat di San Francisco con lo stesso spirito delle classiche foto degli artisti e scrittori bohémien di Parigi agli inizi del '900. I Beat: fila in basso da sinistra a destra: Robert LaVigne, Shig Murao, Larry Fagin, Leland Meyezove (sdraiato), Lew Welch, Peter Orlovsky. Seconda fila: David Meltzer, Michael McClure, Allen Ginsberg, Daniel Langton, Steve (?), Richard Brautigan, Gary Goodrow (a metà). Dietro: Stella Levy e Lawrence Ferlinghetti che col suo ombrello della casa editrice City Lights Books protegge tutto il gruppo.

« Il s’agit de savoir si nous sommes chez nous en France ou si nous n’y sommes plus ; si notre sol nous appartient ou si nous allons perdre avec lui notre fer, notre houille et notre pain ; si, avec les champs et la mer, les canaux et les fleuves, nous allons aliéner les habitations de nos pères, depuis le monument où se glorifie la Cité jusqu’aux humbles maisons de nos particuliers. Devant un cas de cette taille, il est ridicule de demander si la France renoncera aux traditions hospitalières d’un grand peuple civilisé. Avant d’hospitaliser, il faut être. Avant de rendre hommage aux supériorités littéraires ou scientifiques étrangères, il faut avoir gardé la qualité de nation française. Or il est parfaitement clair que nous n’existerons bientôt plus si nous continuons d’aller de ce train. (…) Ce pays-ci n’est pas un terrain vague. Nous ne sommes pas des bohémiens nés par hasard au bord d’un chemin. Notre sol est approprié depuis vingt siècles par les races dont le sang coule dans nos veines. »

« D'où l'aspiration profonde, désespérée des hommes d'exception à rester intérieurement libres. C'est là et seulement à partir de là que l'individualisme prend son essor en s'opposant à la psychologie de la "masse". Telle est la dernière rébellion de l'âme carnassière contre la captivité culturelle, la dernière tentative pour se soustraire au nivellement intellectuel et spirituel, nivellement causé et représenté par l'existence du grand nombre. De là les figures du conquérant, de l'aventurier, de l'ermite, et même d'un certain type de criminels et de bohémiens. On veut échapper à l'effet vampirique du grand nombre en se plaçant au-dessus d'eux, en les fuyant, les méprisant. »
