seeing photos of Barnett Newman's Broken Obelisk being installed reminded me of this 1980 photo I bought and then never posted, because it just seemed like fuel on the fire, but the fire's been stoked plenty without it, and it feels dishonest to not point out that there were white supremacist nazis in Houston in 1979, and that no one, probably including the deMenils who commissioned him, knew Philip Johnson was a nazi too.
#barnett newman#broken obelisk#philip johnson was a nazi who gave up nazism for personal gain and his worship of power so maybe fascism was more his post-war pace#dominique demenil#john demenil#the rothko chapel

tfw you have a crush on the woman who destroyed your hometown and now she stops by the infirmary where you work every day to bicker incomprehensibly with her ex-metamour-slash-baby-daddy who also triggered the apocalypse while he slowly turns to stone and is eaten by a rock person. but sometimes you just gotta shoot your shot ig

I illustrated some of the tectonic landscapes inspired by N. K. Jemisin’s Broken Earth trilogy: Volcanic fumes, smoke columns, fire on the land, sparks coming from below. They are available as prints on https://luxmeteora.com/prints-postcards

hnnnnn thinking about my favorite middle-aged protagonist again. essun is in her early 40s at the start of the fifth season. she's lived for over four decades and has been through a HELL of a lot, and yet there's still things she has to learn about the world.
orogeny is a subject she's been learning about her whole life. she's grown stronger by having to manage orogene children and prevent them from being discovered. and yet her whole journey, and alabaster and ykka in particular, still manage to teach her new things about it.
history. lore is passed down from generation to generation, drilled into everyone's heads so they will remember what to do when a disaster strikes. so they know where they came from. and yet that lore is fucking WRONG and she ends up making multiple new (to her) discoveries about it throughout the course of the series.
she's been a parent more than once. but instead of doing things right the second time around, she fucked it up real bad (although she was trying to do her best in the only way she knew how). it takes a lot to recognize and escape and heal from abuse and oppression at the level that she's experienced it. and only at the very end does she actually see her child for the person she's become.
i know this has been said before, but like. life doesn't end when your youth does. there's always more to learn. mistakes to make and then try to make up for. "understanding" is a puzzle that will never be complete, but one by one the pieces will keep slotting into place in your mind as you continue to grow.
now i'm really just rambling tbh. but god i fucking love this series.
#broken earth spoilers#tre reads#broken earth#nk jemisin#the fifth season#the obelisk gate#the stone sky#essun#when i was a kid of course i usually read books with protagonists around my age#now i'm closer to syenite's than to essun's but i feel like i'm better equipped to learn from a wider variety of characters#especially one that's as well written as essun#and also alabaster of course. holding him gently in my mind so that he doesn't break again. and yet at the same time he's so so strong.#i love them

Have been blitzing through The Broken Earthtrilogy by N.K. Jemisin and may I just say this woman is a fucking powerhouse of a writer. Rarely have I been so upset at characters without wanting to stop reading. Like, I'm mad at them as people, while being totally engrossed in the story. GRIPPING.

Schaffa in The Fifth Season vs Schaffa in The Obelisk Gate gives the same energy as “How my parents were with me” vs “How my parents are with their grandchildren”

A playlist for you, fellow fans of the Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin. These are songs I was listening to while reading the books, or songs that remind me of the story. I love these books so much.
(one day I'll be able to complete and record the song I wrote about these books.)

if i had a nickel for every time an n.k. jemisin protag mistook a powerful, ancient immortal entity for a young boy, i would have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
#tre reads#the inheritance trilogy#the hundred thousand kingdoms#yeine#sieh#broken earth spoilers#broken earth#the fifth season#the obelisk gate#the stone sky#essun#hoa#houwha#and when i say “weird” i mean “this is super interesting actually” fshdk#it's kinda cool seeing how certain character types/worldbuilding details/plot beats have evolved throughout jemisin's writing career#and how even when they're similar between series the rest of the setting n stuff still makes them feel different from each other
