Here's a question and a side tangent.

Where I live. Butterflies are remarkably rare and uninteresting. You see cabbage butterflies all over the place. The most unique butterfly you'll ever get to see is a tiger-like butterfly that is usually migrating. They don't stick around.

Dragonflies on the other hand. Those are everywhere and are much more unique. I find the small ones, and the big ones, The multi-colored ones, The single colored ones. They hold a much higher precedent than butterflies.

Which leads to a strange cultural preference when it comes to fairies. Whenever I think of a fairy. I think of dragonflies. Not butterflies. For me imagining a fairy with cottage butterfly wings just isn't interesting. Sure they're rare, and that should account to something, but it doesn't. I just see dragonflies a whole lot more, so dragonflies became my butterflies.

Fairy, also spelled faerie or faery, is a mythical being of folklore and romance. They are usually depicted as a type of magical creature with supernatural powers, often existing in close relationship with humans on Earth. Fairies can be found in the folklore and mythology of various European cultures, including Celtic, Slavic, Germanic, English, and French folklore. They are often described as metaphysical, supernatural, or preternatural spirits. The legends and beliefs surrounding fairies are diverse, making it difficult to define them precisely. "fatum," meaning fa referred to the land of enchantment and its inhabitants.

Fairies play a significant role in myth, folklore, and legends, and are often featured in fairy tales and other stories that explore moral and ethical concepts. The word "fairy" may have originated from the Latin word "fatum," meaning fate, and is related to the French "fée," the Italian "fata," and the Spanish "fada" In Middle English, "faierie" (or "faeire" in Old French) referred to the land of enchantment and its inhabitants Fairies play a significant role in myth, folklore, and legends, and are often featured in fairy tales and other stories that explore moral and ethical concepts

I have seen faieries! Yes, I have! Well, i've seen them again because, actually, I've been seeing them since I was a toddler but for some reason at age 13th we grew apart. I guess it had to do with the fact me growing up and spend my time on the internet and stuff like that rather than searching for fairies in the forest. Anyways, I have have seen fairies, again! How wonderful, how happy I feel because, you see, this means I have kept my magic, I have not lost it in the "growing up box" like almost everyone do. No, I have not lost my magic, my sight, and now I can see fairies again! :)

WOII - Week 2 Aesthetics

Aesthetics focuses on individual ideas regarding expressing one's feelings and their form of art. This week, we captured a series of signs and looked into their differences. 

Through this activity, it made me realize that aesthetics encompasses elements such as proportion, color, texture, and typography. Which is what we often practice as designers. This was reflected in my studio work, when we were told to choose our desired artist based on how we connected to their work. I chose Armin Hoffman and Shepard Fairy as I found that both their work is clean, uncomplicated, and straightforward. 

Both of their style aesthetic are similar in terms of Fonts, Colors, and geometric shapes. They get the message across clearly with clear-cut information. This brings me to how aesthetics also contributes to FORMS | FUNCTION. Form and function refer to integrating both the visual appeal (form) and the practical utility (function) of a design. This concept emphasizes the idea that good design should not only look visually pleasing but also serve its intended purpose effectively. Let's take a look at these two prime examples. 

Digital Watch Cartier Crash Watch

While both watch tells time, let's be honest and ask ourselves which would be a more user-friendly. The digital watch clearly wins, yet why would users still choose the Cartier watch? The reason is simple - Aesthetics. The watch is sleek and one of a kind though it doesn't serve its practicability much.

To conclude, aesthetics plays a huge role in design as to how each designer expresses different art styles and how they want to intertwine with viewers. For now, I believe that aesthetics plays a bigger role rather than functionality as "first impression counts". However, this does not stop me from looking into how I can better incorporate function in my design aesthetics.  (299 words) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#*holds up the trans man who escaped his old life as a teenage girl a French convent to become an immortal wizard king in a portal fantasy*#I just think he's neat

Copying my own tags because actually I'm gonna tell y'all more. I've posted a few things about him on Patreon, but I wanna post a little more stuff for the public because I need the extra validation, aha.

Ghislain de Joinville got to have a middle-grade portal fantasy adventure when he was 14. It delivered him from life as a depressed teenage "girl" in Medieval France to a place called Espoir--a single human city in a world of faeries and fantastic creatures. Espoir was created for all the humans who tumble through portals into Faierie, and the descendants of those who chose to stay there.

The Star's Ascent isn't about Ghislain's middle-grade portal fantasy adventure, though. The Star's Ascent takes place after he has transitioned, gone to wizard school, learned how to be a powerful blood mage, gotten married, teamed up with his wife to stage a coup against the former queen, become king, gained immortality, got left by his wife, had a baby, got re-married, and is currently trying to figure out how to grant some of his immortality to his aging husband.

Ghislain is a Mess, and also my Special Little Guy. It's his dubiously-ethical Magical Shenanigans that cause the Inciting Incident that shatters an ancient treaty and destabilizes the human city. The rulers of the Faierie Courts catch wind of the bullshit and start wondering whether they should kick the humans out and find a way to close the portals. Treaties have to be re-negotiated, banishments get handed out, a lot of shit goes down, Plot Happens.

The whole story exists because I just can't help but love a silly little bisexual wizard king who does edgy magic. <3

Maybe I'll write today. I've had zero spoons lately, but today hasn't been too bad all things considered.

I want to actually share these homemade blorbos with y'all. I think you'll like them. I just have to get shit actually written.
