#contenti

“Talvolta dobbiamo riposarci da noi stessi, guardando in profondità dentro di noi, da una distanza artistica; dobbiamo saper ridere e piangere di noi;

dobbiamo scoprire l’eroe e anche il buffone che si nasconde nella nostra passione di conoscenza. Dobbiamo ogni tanto essere contenti della nostra pazzia,

se vogliamo poter essere ancora contenti della nostra saggezza."

— F. Nietzsche, La gaia scienza

a good experience more people on this website should have is confidently bringing up some leftist talking point you picked up from tumblr around family members, only for them to ask extremely basic and predictable followup questions/rebuttals that you have no response to because you just internalized the three-paragraph post with 3k notes. this only needs to happen a few times for the lesson to stick and the sooner the better

Luigi Russolo (1885-1947), 'Music', 1911 "Russolo was a founding member of the Italian Futurist movement which sought, under the influence of the French writer Henri Bergson, to produce equivalents, in painting, to our sense of movement and time. In Russolo's case this also involved the attempt to convey the perception of sound and smell. Music, then, was intended to express the duration of a piece of music. This actually led him to experiment with the idea of a Futurist music." Source

For more context about what Futurism was, specifically Italian Futurism, and its eventual relationship with the rise and spread of Italian Fascism, I suggest giving the following essay a read. (It's just one suggestion and once source but I think it's an adequate introduction to the history of the movement if you have no working knowledge of Italian Futurism.)

I’m curious, does Roisia like kids? If she does, did she take a liking to any specific ones on her journey? Did she take in Yenna at camp?

Roisia LOVES children. Children are the last thing on her List to be... acquired??? When crafting her List, she thought she wanted 3-5, but by the end of Act I, she wants about 10-15 additional, largely tiefling children.

She was endeared in particular to Doni, Mirkon, Silfy, and Mattis in Act I and with Ide and Umi in Act II. She took in Yenna without question.

also i think harry potter is a more interesting character when you allow james to be extremely morally grey. imo this is more reflective of canon: he was a bully. he was blindly privileged. he harassed lily and treated it like a joke. and no matter what, he's still a man who wanted to marry "the brightest witch of her age" and saw absolutely nothing wrong with making her his jobless prospectless pregnant housewife at 19 years old! that's entitlement!

like in doing this, james technically carried on centuries of misogynist conservative pureblood tradition (marrying women off to be teenaged childbrides) without another thought. this is the environment in which he was raised. and he told himself it was ok and progressive because he, like, wasn't racist to her for being muggleborn and genuinely loved her as a person, or whatever. but that's the bare minimum! and it shows that he had no qualms with participating in pureblood culture & tradition when it suited him, because he literally materially did. a better james potter would never have been comfortable with letting her take on that role.

and the series themes are more resonant when harry's parents aren't both just, like, nebulously ontologically good. it's really poignant when harry spends his entire life being taught to idolize a man who was, in actuality, kind of a piece of shit— and grapples with this as he grows up, ultimately choosing to be different. the lesson is that both good (and cruelty) can come from anyone, regardless of birth circumstances or house placement, because goodness is a choice.
