The X-Men take a break from the Danger Room training session when they received a call from Beast. He tells the X-Men about the news of Dazzler's abduction at the hands of the mutant-hating group, the Friends of Humanity. Hearing the news, Jubilee is in dismay because she had been waiting to go to Dazzler's concert. Everyone (except Jean Grey and Beast) leave the X-Mansion for the rescue mission. Jean Grey is forced to stay behind for her pregnancy while Beast is busy repairing Bishop's time travel device. Meanwhile, Gambit and Rogue are on a shopping trip when they received a call from Storm to aid their team in a mission.

Just as the X-Men arrive at the Friends of Humanity's hideout, they see Rogue and Gambit had already at the hideout where they are kicking the bigots' asses. The X-Men are fighting the mutant haters while Jubilee managed to locate Dazzler and rescue her. Just then, the authorities led by Valerie Cooper, arrive at the hideout where they arrest the Friends of Humanity goons. During the arrest, one of the Friends of Humanity goons sneer at the FBI agents for siding with the mutants but the scarred agent forces him to keep his mouth shut as he promised him that he would go free if he cooperates. While Valerie Cooper is talking to the X-Men, Wolverine sniffs out a familiar scent among the agents or the Friends of Humanity but he could not tell which one of them is the familiar enemy. Little did the X-Men know that the familiar enemy is actually Carl Denti, the FBI agent with scars on his face, he is the one who became X-Cutioner in one episode of X-Men 97 cartoon.

Perder para ganhar alma - uma Arte - Yê Mac

Perdi minha conta aqui e recomeço-a com o mesmo nome. Sinto muito pelos textos sumidos mas Elizabeth Bishop ensina com maestria, ironia e desapego doloroso que "a arte de perder não é nenhum mistério". E depois de cinco décadas entre tropeços, perdas, mãos vazias constato isso na alma; assim como, constato que muita coisa que achava compreender eu apenas sabia na razão. Mas, como no poema de Bishop "One Art" é preciso perder desde as coisas mais triviais até as essenciais para sentirmos na alma, essencialmente como ela diz "pois é evidente que a arte de perder não chega a ser mistério por muito que pareça (Escreve!) muito sério." Essa poesia virou um trabalho e um capítulo de um livro chamado "Perder para ganhar alma - uma Arte" e muito além do que jogos de palavras foi uma confissão após uma sequência de mortes e perdas que vivi num espaço de uns tr��s anos. Nas primeiras perdas, ficamos emocionados, vitimizados, revoltados como se não merecessemos aquilo. Após uma, duas, dez finalmente você desinfla do estado "alecrim dourado" e fica mais bishopiano. E isso é infinitamente mais libertador do que esse vício incessante por positividade, longevidade e juventude a todo custo.

Byung Chul-Han alerta para uma sociedade positivada ao extremo levando ao apagamento, ou se preferir, burnout. Lutamos tanto para estarmos acesos, brilhantes, potentes, testorenizados que o extremo leva ao que psicologia de Jung chama enatiodromia: uma inversão radical de um pólo ao outro sem transformação alguma. Ainda em Han ele diz que estamos mortos demais para viver e vivos demais para morrer. Resta o apagamento, os zumbis funcionais, os heróis contra perdas e fracassos não percebendo que desafiar a morte e nega-la, assim como, negar nossa vulnerabilidade humana, é o maior fracasso de todos.

Perdi minha outra conta, textos, ideias. Na verdade, não perdi nada porque nada é só meu. Escrever é ofício de desapego. Quem escreve para si ainda não sacou que somos meros canais para ideias. Ou na frase do poeta w.H.Auden "Somos vividos por forças que fingimos compreender."

Guys I think I’m just gonna make 11pm my new posting time…it’s IN BETWEEN today and tomorrow and from where I stand a pretty rad time to post.

But no for real this as told by Ginger fanart is amazing! In recent years the show has gotten a lot of love thanks to YouTube essay videos spotlighting it but when I first got into the show in 2016 and even when it was airing it was a pretty underrated gem.

All this to say…gosh I really need to do some as Told by Ginger fanart myself, but for now all you as told by Ginger fans please enjoy this adorable fanart and go give the artist a tone of love and support!

Interesting post about costume here.

This paragraph in particular caught my attention...

What we think of as “peasant garb” is actually the product of a game of telephone that travels back from Romantic Revival art, and many of those (urban) artists got their idea of what rural peasants wore from opera costumes. The costumers working at the opera were not going out to the country side to take notes on what farmers actually wore, nor did they want to. Opera is show biz, you want it to be evocative, but not ordinary. Their costumes would have been based on what urban folks were wearing, with extra little touches like a shepherds crook to make it look “rural”.

... because it was Wagner's Ring Cycle that gave us horned helmets.

They didn't originate with the Vikings. They originated with the 1876 costume designs for a bunch of operas, and those designs by Carl Emil Doepler still exist.

For reference, all the horny characters are mortals.

Those helmets were probably based on archaeological finds, even though all Northern European examples are, AFAIK and depending on context, either religious headgear equivalent to a bishop's mitre, or ceremonial headgear equivalent to a crown.

In addition, every single one predates the Viking Age by a period ranging from a couple of centuries to a couple of millennia so - makes vague handwave gesture - they're more appropriate for the sorta-kinda mythic Migration Era setting of the Ring than any Vik who ever inged..

Doepler's designs also feature WINGED helmets, worn by immortals like Wotan...

... and the Valkyries.

Something else I encountered when looking for pics to illustrate this was that other clichéd armour error, the boob-plate.

Here's dramatic soprano Karin Branzell wearing one...

...while here's heroic tenor Fritz Vogelstrom also wearing one.

He's singing the role of Siegfried but wearing the costume of Brunnhilde, at least that's how it looks to an operatic Philistine like me.

Anyway...

Winged helmets are even more historically dodgy - no archaeological evidence at all - yet are actually more feasible as working combat helmets.

The difference is that horns, being heavy, need sturdy mountings so a horned helmet both provides catch-points for incoming blows and handles for an enemy to grapple, while a winged helmet does neither. The wings, being light, wouldn't need solid fixtures so would just shear off under a weapon or come off in an enemy's hands.

I'm well aware that other times, places and cultures - Indo-Persia, Poland, Japan etc. - had helmets with wings, horns and all sorts of other stuff, but this is about how the popular image of Vikings that headgear came from opera.

And went all over the place... :->
