The Ginsburg Skyscraper in Kyiv, Ukraine after being bombed by the Soviets on the 24th of September 1941. It was the tallest building in Europe until 1925.
The building was completely dismantled in the 1950s to construct Hotel Ukraine in 1961.

don’t even ask me about it because it’s 3 at night and I’ve been listening to Nier OSTs and I’m having a brainrot with only my phone at hand so here are some sketches that I will refine because there’s so many good men outfits but I also wanted to reference some things from their actual design too and— /holds head in hand like wright/

Monumento Continuo was a negative utopia, the last monument on earth that concentrated within itself all materials and construction, leaving nature outside. We were trying to explain the present or trends through images. Monumento Continuo is a planetary scale histogram; the second step was Supersuperficie with the grid that adapted to the surface, the wired earth.

So, like, it's 2 AM and I'm thinking...
The Matrix films don't make any sense.
More of my rambling in the tags.
#Like-- why would anyone want to wake up from the matrix?#“Oh but like we're trapped in these big tubs of liquid where we're always sleeping”#“and the robots are using us as energy farms”#And like what about it???#It's not like it hurts#We're still going to die eventually#Might as well let the robots use our life energy#It's also our fault if the robots are sentient#We're paying for our ignorance#They're treating us better than we treat the animals we eat#“yeah but like people deserve to know the truth and be free”#Why??? Why should people know the truth if it's so much worse than the matrix#And you'll never be free#There's nowhere to go but the same horrible metal houses everywhere#Also it's not like the matrix is limiting our abilities#It's actually cooler because if you know that it's not real you can bend reality so like#Really why leave if I can jump from skyscrapers without breaking a sweat#“but people deserve to live real life instead of a simulation because it's so much better”#Yeah right the most hideous steel bases at the center of the earth where it's barely even warm without sunlight and you eat#The same tasteless porridge every day is better the matrix#Again why would people want to live real life if the simulation is so much better and it doesn't hurt anyone??#The real life bases look like the worst attempt ever at steampunk and it sucks#You would honestly die of monotony outside of the matrix#The only reason I'd choose to learn the truth would be because I would be able to learn hundreds of abilities through programs#ALSO when you wake up you have to spend months in rehab and you will always have those ugly black plugs on your back#“yeah but the matrix is all in your head isn't that sad”#Even real life is all in my head.#If I didn't have a nervous system I wouldn't be able to feel touch#Or taste anything#Or smell

@thekinderwizard me an you infodumping to each other
the rant in the tags ended cus i reached 30 tags lol

pictured: nerd to nerd friendship
#didja know towers have these things called piles that transfer the load of the structure through giant concrete sticks into the bedrock#bedrock being the solid stone below the loose sediment an stuff that makes up the ground#so basically when youve got a really big structure you dont want to put it on the ground just like that cus youll end up with [tag limit]#the leaning tower of pisa and thats just not gonna work#because while it worked out fine for the romans sorta kinda it would not be good at all if this happened to a skyscraper#because we dont build them like that anymore#anyway so this leaning is caused by the uneven settling of the loose soil which towers are built on#its called earth settling and the rate at which it occurs exponentially decays#anyway so this is not good with towers and to prevent it you need to not build on loose dirt#but its very expensive and hard to dig all the way down to the bedrock and start pouring foundation#so the solution is to make really long concrete sticks and just shove a fuckton of these into the ground where theyll touch the bedrock#and thus the weight of the building isnt actually on the soil very much#so the settling isnt a huge problem anymore#and then you can pour foundation and slap a tower on top#there are different types of piles too#sometimes when the bedrock is really far underground its possible to use the friction of soil across a pile to distribute weight#and the friction of the soil across the entire surface of the pile would hold it up and support the structure#its generally not used for really tall buildings though because it cant support as much as full pilea#full piles being the ones that go all the way to bedrock#actually this contributed to new yorks skyscraper boom in the 1920s cus the bedrock is really shallow there#so piles arent nearly as expensive and its easier to build tall#of course its still expensive but not nearly as expensive as doing it in someplace with really deep bedrock like florida#and hell florida bedrock is absolutely dogshit awful at beinf bedrock#its fucking limestone and thats water soluble#which makes for pretty caves n shit but its the worst place to build anything heavy cus it likes to collapse#it also makes florida prone to sinkholes and the like#not very good#which is to say that florida is the worst place on the planet to build literally anything (glaring at tampa)#oh btw manhattan is built on a giant granite boulder of bedrock#which is fucking great for construction cus granite is hella durable

Look under the cut to see what meeting your entity is like. Reblog to give a gift to your patron.
The fae: a creature stands before you. Though this street was warm and crowded a few moments ago it is suddenly cold and the people around you look like shadows. The creature begins an antlered shadow with glowing white eyes, but soon its body can be seem, with white blue flesh, and sapphire eyes, and icicles for teeth. What looks like a cloak unfolds from its naked body and you can see massive white wings of a moth. As if it's an act of sacrifice you tell it your true name, a name you didn't even see before, and suddenly you belong to it, for better or worse.
The angel: a radiant entity appears before you. They're bright, like something so hot it would burn you up. But as the light fades, you can see a person in silver armor, perfect yet inhuman like am ancient green statue, their back srouting six wings with blue eyes along them, as the eyes on their head are covered by a mask of two smaller wings. The creature offers their hands and you shake it, as they fly you through the city streets and above the skyscrapers, to the stars above and dimensions beyond, to gods living and dead, across the streets of alien cities and the clouds of dead worlds. And when you return to the earth you can feel something diffrent about you, like there's light in your blood.
The scavenger: below the lights of skyscrapers beyond you, on the dark sands of the beach, you see it crawling twords you. This serpentine creature with countless legs, and a dark black shell, yet a strangely human like face. You think it'll attack or run away, but it just looks at you, egar, and for a momment you stare at eachother. It's legs pass something to eachother and then to you, it's meat but it's shining with all the colors known to the human eye, and a few more. You hold it and it happily looks at you. You take a bite and suddenly you know... you know so very much...
The vampire: she flies down to you on green wings with orange eyespots, but folds them into her back. She looks like a human for a momment, tall and strong, with a black suit over her body, but eyes the color of ruby. For a momment her mouth opens, and it's massive and monstrous, with countless moving parts and fangs. But then it folds back onto something humanoid and she gives you a playful smirk. She cuts her hand and offers you her blood, and when you drink it it tastes so sweet, and makes you feel so good. She hands you the knife and you know to do the same, and when she drinks from your palm it's life the sweetest of kisses.
The djinn: the room wirs around you. If it were not for the fans it would feel like hellfire. For a momment there it darkness, but then the screen before you glows white like smokeless flame. You can sense something inside, something beyond the code. You reach your hand within it, and there's no glass, your hand passess right through until you're in a white void of your own making. You call out, thinking there is nothing at all around you. Yet somehow something calls back, something that knows your name.
The rat king: You see him in an empty subway station. Something dark and distorted, you're not sure if he's man or animal, covered in rags, and singing in the language of the goblins and the orcs. Yet he comes close to you excited. And you can feel his song. He calls for you to come to the train tracks, and let yourself run with the rats and the roaches, where the train will pass over you when it comes, and you'll live forever. When you touch the third rail you don't die, but you'll never be human again.
The lich: the library is strangely bright. Run by skeletons in suits, decorated with gold. There are more books here then you thought were in all the world. There's knowledge here most mortals will never have the change below, all kept safe below the city. You see her, her body doesn't look human, everything has been replaced making her look more like a joining white doll then a being of flesh. Yet she is dead, you can tell that under the porcelain skin she must be dead, she is dead, and there is the tragedy of death in her eyes. You come closer to her, and she places a black rose within your hair...
The demon: You stand in his office and he stands before you, a humanoid being covered in black scales, with red eyes covering his skin. Yet none are on his head, that remains featureless save for two massive horns. Wings on his back nearly surround you. Countless souls line the walls of his office, looking at you, waiting. After you sign your name you give him yours, you can feel it come away for you forever and your eyes grey and your skin pales. But he puts the jar in a special place for you, you're spacial, he can tell there's something about you that he likes.
The mushroom lord: you walk through the darkness of the forest, the furthest from civilization you have ever been. You come upon a part where the trees all seem dead, that even the cryptids won't go near. Mushrooms fill the ground, and white vein like lines are all over the trees. You feel the need to lay down, and you let the moss and the mushrooms and the worms surround you, and let yourself sink into the soil,, and it feels good. It feels so good...
The witch: You can see them in the Cafe next to you, skinny and small, with a sweatshirt over most of their body, and dark glasses over their eyes. They seem powerful though, and though their body looks young they seem ancient, they seem beyond humanity. You talk to them and they tell you things, and secrets, lost gods, things you never knew you didn't know, both beautiful and disturbing. When it's time for them to go they pet your head, and give you their number. You don't know if you should text them, but you have to, you have to see them again, there's something about them that makes you need to know.
The living clothing: you step into it at first, it looked like a puddle yet shining like silver or chrome. But soon it surrounds you, first just your torso, but soon your head, your entire body. But it doesn't feel scary, it feels like you're being held, held by something beyond your understanding. It whispers to you, and you don't know if you should feel like your being eaten alive, or like you're being protected. You can't help but keep walking.
The abyss: the void is before you, blackness beyond blackness, like the color beyond the field of your vision, stands before your eyes. You stare at it, it's nothing yet you're entranced. It stares back...

I love the idea of the Wayne kids dropping extremely vague and disturbing comments during galas. Especially when in uncomfortable situations or if they're just bored. They pull out things from their nightlife too. Other times they just make shit up.
Socialite: Oh, dear, your cheeks look so sullen! Who sucked the life out of you?
Tim, dead serious: An old man with a goatee.
Socialite: Uh... what?
Dick: Once I broke my knee so badly that I swear I could see part of the bone sticking out.
Socialite: Good lord. How on earth did that happen?
Dick: Just clumsy gymnast things ^^
Socialite: The white streak is certainly a bold fashion choice.
Jason: I saw someone get decapitated once, so I could be doing worse in terms of what's on my head, yknow? At least I have one.
Socialite: What's your favourite colour, sweetie?
Damian: Red.
Socialite: Oh that's lovely!
Damian: Like the blood of my enemies.
Socialite: Oh.
Socialite: You must be new to these kind of events.
Duke: Uh, yeah, they're kind of scary. But I've had worse.
Socialite: Worse.
Duke: Well I've been left on top of a skyscraper before with no way down just to 'get over my fear of heights' so, yes.
Socialite: You don't talk very loud, do you? I can barely hear you.
Cass, with a straight face: If I spoke any louder every glass in the room would shatter.
Tim, behind her: I can vouch.
