We're back in the groove of city life, of course. No avoiding that.
I do wanna revisit something I mentioned during our travels last week... which was that in the midst of all that adventuring, we conducted a number of business meetings. That is, during a lunch or a breakfast or some in-between time when we're at Starbucks or some restaurant... we actually talked about a business plan that's in its formative stage. We dug deep, too. We'd even pick it up and toss it around a little sometimes when we were driving from here to there.
Why?
Because the topic was gonna come up. Just as soon as we got back.
So there's a timing issue there that worked its way into our adventure plans.
Even were that not the case, though, away on a trip is not the worst time to consider such things. So long as you put certain boundaries around the effort.
I will say there's something about being out of the normal, daily stream that gives you more altitude to identify all the pieces in play, both good and bad, helpful and toxic. To trace problems and opportunities backward and forward in time. To challenge assumptions. And then challenge the further assumptions that inevitably crop up. To consider the big picture. The really big picture. The view from 10,000 feet. Which includes not only best practices for the business endeavor but also for all the individuals involved in navigating that business. The condition of those people, of course, is the rock upon which success or failure rests.
So when I say "everything"... I really do mean everything.
So no, this was not a business retreat. We didn't let it consume that much time. We were strategic about it. The idea... was to prepare for a conversation.
And yes. The prep totally worked.
Right on time.
🙂

"One thing that I've always said about Juan is that every action that he does is heartfelt and genuine. When it was the war against the French, he was there and he was going to go to war, even though he knew he was going to die. He saw them getting ripped apart, but he was there and he was going to do it. I believe if Lucrezia hadn't come over, he would have led all his troops into death. I don't think there's anything that he's done which was through general cowardice. In terms of his survival, he died how he lived, and that's laudable, in itself." — David Oakes.

It would be really fun to have a Su She time travel story. Because he thinks he’s got a handle on things, he knows Wei Wuxian’s buttons and how Lan Wangji seduced him. When he wakes up as a teenage disciple of good standing in Cloud Recesses, before Lan Wangji had ever thought about giving Wei Wuxian a good dicking and securing the loyalty of the most dangerous man of in three generations, Su She figures he can steal a march on his rival and steal Wei Wuxian for himself.
He did not account for:
*Wei Wuxian’s extremely Lan Wangji only oriented sexuality
*Lan Wangji being an enormous vinegar pot who did not appreciate someone attempting to steal his Wei Ying time
*Jiang Wanyin strongly objecting to someone trying to seduce his dashixiong
*Nie Huaisang’s objection to this interruption to the Wangxian show he’s been watching with melon seeds
It’s the last one that really gets Su She in trouble, not that he realizes.
Basically Su She has dreams of seducing a proto-Yiling Laozu, not reading the room right, and kickstarting Wangxian earlier as Lan Wangji squares off with someone making Wei Wuxian deeply uncomfortable. And in the background, a proto-Headshaker plots against someone actively impeding his romantic drama.

If you tracked my eye activity on that bliss promo pic with the tops it would be something like this

Making a major stop at topper

Before crashing into a ditch (yakuya corner)
Tumblr media
#i'm having a moment. the only time i'll ever see these two standing next to each other is in a promotional pic for the sfw game version#FOR SERIOUS i was weirded out by this combination of characters in one pic when i first saw it#i was like oh?? they doing a random assortment now? i mean sure! yeah! i guess! spice it up they look great!!#then someone pointed out that this was Tops Only#then showed me the corresponding picture of Bottoms Only#and i felt my eyebrow raise sharply#OOOH.... i didn't even consider... right.... top bottom segregation#(reality does not occur to me. i see them all through switch-coloured lenses and thus ignore information inconvenient to my preference)#then i started thinking more about the . idea of it. that the tops are in a bar's hidden back room with mafia boss dante#and the bottoms are hanging out in the airy beautiful atrium of pure white snow and lilting piano music#tops are like WELCOME TO THE LIONS DEN and bottoms are like HEY COME INTO THE AVIARY AND SIT WITH US 🥰#i dwelt on the fact that i was weirded out by yakumo in this group#and it made me think about how..... yakumo would be scared of all the other tops#all of them are INTIMIDATION 100 to hiim#so i imagine after you get him to pose for this shot with everyone. and the business is done#yakumo will quickly retreat to the room with the bottoms (where all his friends are)#blade being the adaptable little creature he is will be like OH COOL ARE YOU GOING TO SEE THE OTHERS??#I WANT TO SEE THE OTHERS TOO!! MORE FRIENDS!! LET'S GO TOGETHER n_n *links arms* *DRAGS everyone else out of the room*#imagining yaku being first ushered into this dark room with kuya dante and quincy#and he's just nervously glancing at topper for reassurance that there's no danger#just trembling and thinking about how he wants his emotional support wolf/vice captain/priest/earring twin senpai#no yakumo. i wanted you to mingle. and you shall mingle#wear matching outfits with your fellow Tops and (topp) until you build trust and reduce their Intimidation Factors#nu carnival dante#nu carnival blade#nu carnival quincy#nu carnival kuya#nu carnival yakumo

yet another reprise of the same post i’ve made dozens and dozens of times before but GEEZ! i am so incredibly lucky to be doing what i’m doing! to think i spend hours and hours and days and weeks and months and years and hopefully DECADES pouring over animation history, lauding the masters and studying their work so intently and absorbing it and feeling and identifying with it, and the fact that i get to walk the same turf they did. that i get to be a part of this business that they established. that i get to carry the torch and that, some day, no matter how small or insignificant, my own work and contributions will be regarded as “animation history” because i work in animation and all history is history. i just can’t believe that i’m privileged enough to indulge in some of the same practices that The Greats did, that i get to study their work and, if i’m so lucky, channel and make homages to it where possible.
this isn’t to say “i’m just like Tex Avery because i work in animation TOO!!!!”, but, rather, an expression of my sheer GRATITUDE and amazement that i get to do what i do at all. i’ve met so many nice people. blossomed so much as an artist and cartoonist. get inspired each day by the talent i am constantly surrounded by. and to think that i get to be a part of it!!!!! that i get to carry the torch! i know this sounds so conceited and pompous and i really don’t mean it that way at all because i don’t WANT to be known as someone who people are only interested in because i work in cartoons. i just wanna be known for me! what “me” is i guess is for you to decide! but, regardless, i’m just feeling extra thankful tonight that i’m able to indulge in my passions and SPREAD my passions and have said passions fostered. that i’m lucky enough to tread the same ground as some of the greatest creatives that gave me this ground to tread on. there will never be enough words to properly articulate just how deeply and passionately my gratitude extends.

Second Chances
Tumblr media
The Carson family is well known to be harsh, cruel and deeply evil family with certain type of agenda set up to hurt family for a lifetime of hell.
I invited them into a home situation after a New York court appointed them to get some sort of rehabilitation for their god awful type of behavior.
They have been on a court order to be lock in their own house to be re-educated to do much better in the world and I have been to task.
I enter their home taking their keys locking the door shut closing the door and I happily face them with this wicked lock on my fav they are pissed.
Collecting all of their keys, wallets, and the whole family in projects throwing them into a side desk and they can’t escape ever this place ever again.
Clapping loudly my hands immediately point to the couch when they drop onto with my instructions and they plop on to with my command.
I felt bad with the windows closed on one end of it flipping on the knob as the central
air conditioner roars on they relief they felt is apparent.
I unfortunately knee this was all according to my plan, I exit the room letting air circle I collect its self and I want to see the effects take place.
First of the father Rob Carson succumbs in a big yawn his head drops and everything else begins to fade out of existence for him for days on end.
Rob has no idea why his eyes open up to be shocked he is in his bedroom the door open but no noise coming from anywhere in the home.
Something is off he feels quite odd now that he thinks about, closet is filled with an entire new wardrobe, his furniture practically gone for some reason.
He did not seem to care sitting down on his bed awaiting something a strange man walk in to his room, triggering the memories of the last night and how all of that horror is now love.
It was a week ago the man behind taps his shoulder holding his head up he can’t help but stare in to the spiral the bed fell from under him.
His body went in to free fall dropping in to an endless pit of darkness his entire life playing before him on huge long length screen he saw his own nastiness.
The contempt he felt for his self is absolute in that is undeniable deep down his souls is jetting off in to a land of pleasure and pain one man save him.
Tumblr media
“You are the man from the court I saw you in my dream and I don’t understand why but you are my Master now.”
“What do you have to say to that weakling my dear Rob Carson big man on the worlds campus.”
“No! Please don’t say that feel so awfully and useless.”
“You hate and love this?”
“I do it feels like I am alive.”
“Do you know who I am?”
“Yes sir”
“Say it”
“Master Lawrence “
“Welcome home”
“Ooooohhhh…aaahhhhh”
“Are you ok?”
“Never want to leave “
“The court wanted you to rehabilitate me”
“You promised them to”
“To what? I did help your whole family “
“Forgot about them”
“Yeah”
“They are fine placed in new homes”
“I look about thirty years younger. Did you do this?”
Tumblr media
“You de-aged even more so than you think my friend.”
“How are you doing this?”
“Shouldn’t you be alarmed?”
“Why would I?”
“Most would “
“Fuck you!”
“I am yours”
“Everything I say consumes you “
“I conquered you “
“I am at your service “
“Go stand by the mirror”
“Woah! What the hell?”
“You look amazing “
“How far back will it go?”
“Does it matter
“Of course not “
“Just curious “
“Zip it pussy “
“Do I live for you ?”
“You know the answer to that.”
Tumblr media
“Face me! I am all that occupies your life “
“Yes Master!”
“Serve me! Accept your place “
“I do “
“Your family”
“Who’s that ?”
“Your friends”
“None”
“Fuck!”
“Do you love me?”
“Oh My God!”
“You are my love”
“My Master”
“My God!”
“Kneel for me”
“Take my hand “
“Kiss me”
“Who am I?”

Second Chances Part 2
Tumblr media
Robert Carson’s son Jack is the total hard ass absolute complete jackass who I have lock up in his room for the foreseeable future.
The door cracks open with excitement to his shock, his head lifting in to the air he stood up to stare at me with utter love and respect for me.
The door slams a bit I snap my fingers in an instant turning the lights on with bright light roving on and off covering the room the blinds fall.
His mind goes blank washing over the room spinning in a cycle constantly distracting him in away I knew it is the best way to break him.
I move forward to the bed I shove him on to it my shadow overcomes the wall my hands are in the air and I place it firmly on his knees to me.
Pressing hard it grasp or firmly applying a bit of pressure and even more pressure on to him. I caught his eyes drawing him near to me.
“Do you understand that I am the man of this house?”
“Yes, I am nothing compared to you except a slave.”
“Correct boi, you have been corrupted”
“Yyyeeesss”
“Kneel for me”
“Yes Master”
“Serving you is everything “
“My knight in shining armor”
“Take my hand, kiss it, lick it and suck it”
“Mmmmmm”
“You taste wonderful “
“You are a man”
Tumblr media
His eyes fade closing with his back falling in to the bed backwards, instead he hit the airy blue pool washing on to the deck of the backyard. He wakes up rising from the bottom he took the steps at the edge climbing up in wet, skin tight and pumped clothes.
“Hey babe”
“I don’t remember “
“Who you are “
“Yes Master”
“You are aware of me”
“You are my slave”
“My puppet “
“A nobody “
“I love you sir “
“This body is yours to own”
“Break me in half “
“Split me open “
“I am your king”
“You have my life, money and body “
“Sir Yes Sir”
“Sir Yes Master Lawrence Sir”
“I am laying on the ground take advantage of me.”
Tumblr media
“Hey dad!”
“What’s up?”
“Who are you calling dad?”
“Daddy”
“Mwahahahahaha “
“You are silly “
“Where’s your dad”
“You are my dad “
“He is your brother “
“Oh yeah!”
“Stop! You are funny”
“Hahahaha”
“What’s so funny?”
“You are dad”
“Kiss me”
“Thank you daddy”
“You are breath of fresh air “
“Nope! “
Tumblr media
“Bois come up “
“Both of you “
“Kiss me”
“Hug me”
“You make breakfast “
“Slide down “
“Suck me off”
“Worship me”
“Mmmmm”
“Oooohhhh Gggoooddd”
“Ooohhhh!”
“FUCK!”
“I seduced you “
“Manipulate you “
“Your scent “
“It’s wiping me “
“Oh Sir”
“I love you “

Infinite list of favourite lyrics: 229/?
Bobbie Gentry - Ode to Billie Joe (1967)
"And Papa said to Mama, as he passed around the black-eyed peas:
'Well, Billie Joe never had a lick of sense; pass the biscuits, please.
There's five more acres in the lower forty I got to plow'
And Mama said it was a shame about Billie Joe, anyhow.
Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billie Joe McAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
[...]
"Mama said to me, 'Child, what's happened to your appetite?
I've been cookin' all morning, and you haven't touched a single bite.
That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today
Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday - oh, by the way
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge
And she and Billie Joe was throwin' something off the Tallahatchie Bridge'"
#favourite lyrics#bobbie gentry#ode to billie joe#1967#jimmie haskell#ode to billy joe#<- as this fairly regularly gets styled‚ tho Billie is correct and the spelling that appeared on the label originally#i overuse the term but i really think it's unavoidable here: this song is an absolute masterpiece of narrative songwriting#Gentry's ambition had only really been to work as a lyricist; she recorded this as part of her first demo‚ singing the songs herself#because it was cheaper than hiring a singer for the sessions. the demo grabbed the attention of Kelly Gordon at Capitol‚ who signed Gentry#and got to work producing her first album. the centre point of the album‚ and her first single‚ was to be Mississippi Delta; there wasn't#much interest in the Southern gothic tinged tale of secrets and 'unconscious cruelty' (as Gentry dubbed it) of Ode‚ and it was regarded#with little interest by Gordon (when arranger Haskell asked him what instruments he should add to Gentry's stripped down vocal and guitar l#the producer replied curtly that it didn't matter because nobody would ever hear it). Ode was assigned as b side to Mississippi Delta as#almost an afterthought‚ but this was the era in which US radio djs frequently chose which side of a single they wanted to play and the#unanimous decision was Ode; here was something special‚ a dark and tantalising mystery of a song obscured by the humdrum idle conversation#of an unthinking family. it ignited a kind of obsessive curiosity among listeners‚ desperate to find out what exactly the unnamed singer#and Billie Joe were throwing off the bridge‚ why did Billie Joe take his own life‚ why do the singer's gamily clearly not know about#their obvious relationship? Gentry‚ for her own part‚ resisted all attempts to glean further information about the actions of her song's#protagonist. she rightly tried to steer interested parties back towards what is arguably the real horror of the song‚ that unconscious#cruelty; a family that can eat and chatter and squabble even as they discuss the suicide of a boy they've known all their lives‚ even as#the clearly affected girlfriend of the boy (their own sister and daughter) sits in dumbstruck silence‚ unable to articulate her feelings#the original cut of the song ran more than 7 minutes and had to be mercilessly hacked down to fit a 45 single suitable length. no one had#expected much of anything from the song but it was to catapult Gentry to almost instant stardom; the forthcoming album was retitled after#the song that was now its focus; Ode went on to top the Billboard Hot 100‚ won a clutch of grammys and ended up selling more than 3 million#copies worldwide. Gentry had captured the imagination of a nation and beyond‚ but her success was tempered by legal challenges (from#producers demanding greater royalties) and a general dissatisfaction with her newfound stardom: it would last a little more than a decade#and include her own tv shows‚ more awards and smash hit singles; then just as suddenly as she'd shot to fame‚ Bobbie retreated from it#retiring from both the business and from public life. she hasn't made a public appearance since the early 80s‚ nor does she grant interview#but so what? if she's happy? i hope she's happy. she left us enough great music to enjoy. let her have her peace and quiet

// one of those days where all the sounds of the grocery store ambience be triggering a constant startle response and even people talking to me (such as a customer right in front of me) is kinda overwhelming
But how am I supposed to explain "I don't want to help you right now because I can hear absolutely everything and it's hard to be anything but distracted and irritable"
