Schichten

Der Einsatz von Grisaille und von Farbmalerei innerhalb eines Bildes ist ein Mittel der Schichtung und der Entfaltung von Schichten. So impliziert und expliziert man Schichten und Schichtungen, etwa solche, die zu jeder Geschichte und jedem Geschichte gehören. Agarrando Pueblo (1978) setzt dieses Mittel, das in der Renaissance routiniert wird, ebenfalls routiniert ein. Natürlich setzt so ein Verfahren Gaudenzio Ferrari, der Frühmeister des Agit-Prop und Agit-Pop der propaganda fideae in Varallo ein, natürlich fällt das dem Warburg auf, natürlich nur deswegen, weil sie beide das Artifizielle händeln können.

Ospina und Mayolo arbeiten mit Mitteln, die Shklovsky zur Kunst als Verfahren zählt und Verfremdung nennt. Gleichzeitig operieren die beiden Filmemacher mit stratifikatorischer Differenzierung, und wie, nämlich ausgiebig bis exzessiv. Zu glauben, dass irgendwelche Vulkane erloschen seien, das will bei diesem Film nicht so recht gelingen, ebensowenig die Vorstellung, dass eine funktionale Differenzierung eine stratifikatorische Differenzierung erfolgreich abgelöst hätte oder aber leitende Führung errungen hätte. Dass es überhaupt Leitbilder oder Leitdifferenzen geben sollte, das will man bei dem Verfahren nicht glauben. Ich nicht.

Ospina und Mayolo brechen nicht nur das Verhältnis zwischen Realität und Fiktion immer wieder, sie brechen alle Relationen im Film (der selbst auch eine Relation, durchaus im Sinne eines Referendariats ist) immer wieder auf - bis die Unterscheidung zwischen Form und Inhalt oder zwischen Realität und Fiktion dem Film wie ausgetrieben ist - und statt dessen die Klarheit einer Stellungnahme einzieht, die nichts anderes bietet und fordert, als Formen und Relationen.

Kunst als Verfahren - keine Ausdifferenzierung und Systematisierung oder operative Schließung der Kunst, sondern Austreibung einer Unterscheidung wie derjenigen zwischen Form und Inhalt, um im Denken des Außen alles weiter und weiter zu treiben und niemandem und nichts einen Aufenthalt zu reservieren. Dem Recht kein Eigenes, der Kunst auch nicht, der Politik nicht. Das ist eines der Mittel, an denen das Kino auch zur Kunst der Vergütung oder Gutmachung, der Veredelung sowie des Durchgehenden und Passierenden wird, also zur ars boni at aequi und zu Medium und Technik juridischer Institutionen.

What is Your Code of Conduct

Roman code or Mos Maiorum

Mos maiorum means the way of the elders

8 virtues

Fideas - Be trust worthy

The Latin word fides encompasses several English words, such as trust/trustworthiness, good faith/faithfulness, confidence, reliability, and credibility. It was an important concept in Roman law, as oral contracts were common. 

Pietas - Be respectful

Pietas was the Roman attitude of dutiful respect towards the gods, homeland, parents, and family, which required the maintenance of relationships in a moral and dutiful manner. 

Religio and Cultus - Be religious

Related to the Latin verb religare, "to bind", religio was the bond between gods and mortals, as carried out in traditional religious practices for preserving the pax deorum (“peace of the gods”). Cultus was the active observance and the correct performance of rituals. Religious practice, in this sense, is to be distinguished from pietas and its inherent morality. See religion in ancient Rome and imperial cult (ancient Rome).

Disciplin - Be diciplined

The military character of Roman society suggests the importance of disciplina, as related to education, training, discipline, and self-control.

Gravitas and constantia - Self Control or Temperance

Gravitas was dignified self-control. Constantia was steadiness or perseverance. In the face of adversity, a good Roman was to display an unperturbed façade. Roman myth and history reinforced this value by recounting tales of figures such as Gaius Mucius Scaevola, who in a founding legend of the Republic demonstrated his seriousness and determination to the Etruscan king Lars Porsenna by holding his right hand in a fire.

Virtus - Core values

Derived from the Latin word vir ("man"), virtus constituted the ideal of the true Roman male. Gaius Lucilius discusses virtus in some of his work and says that it is virtus for a man to know what is good, evil, useless, shameful, or dishonorable.

Dignitas and auctoritas - serve others with dignatity

Dignitas and auctoritas were the end result of displaying the values of the ideal Roman and the service of the state, in the forms of priesthoods, military positions, and magistracies. Dignitas was a reputation for worth, honor and esteem. Thus, a Roman who displayed their gravitas, constantia, fides, pietas and other values of a Roman would possess dignitas among their peers. Similarly, by that path, a Roman could earn auctoritas ("prestige and respect").

Us military Code of Conduct

The Code of Conduct provides guidance for the behavior and actions of members of the Armed Forces of the United States. This guidance applies not only on the battlefield but also in the event that the service member is captured and becomes a prisoner of war (POW). The Code is delineated in six articles.

Article I:

I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

Article II:

I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist.

Article III:

If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

Article IV:

If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and will back them up in every way.

Article V:

When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give my name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies or harmful to their cause.

Article VI:

I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.

Spartan code of Honor

The Spartan hoplite followed a strict laconic code of honor. No soldier was considered superior to another.

Suicidal recklessness, misbehavior, and rage were prohibited in the Spartan army, as those behaviors endangered the phalanx. Recklessness could also lead to dishonor, as in the case of Aristodemus.

Spartans regarded those who fight, while still wishing to live, as more valorous than those who don't care if they die.

They believed that a warrior must not fight with raging anger but with calm determination.

Spartans must walk without any noise and speak only with a few words in the laconic way of life.

 Other ways for Spartans to be dishonored include dropping the shield (rhipsaspia), failing to complete the training, and deserting in battles. Dishonored Spartans were labeled as outcasts and would be forced to wear different clothing for public humiliation.

 In battles, the Spartans told stories of valor to inspire the troops and, before a major confrontation, they sang soft songs to calm the nerves.

Bushido code

Righteousness (義 gi). Justice is the most important virtue for the samurai. A true samurai does not attack the enemy without an important reason.

Loyalty (忠義 chūgi). Loyalty is the 2nd most important thing in life. The samurai should always be loyal to his master. The samurai should also believe his duty to protect his master is the meaning of life.

Honor (名誉 meiyo). A life without honor is not a life. If a samurai makes a mistake, he should honor his name by committing suicide. (Example: The story of 47 samurai (the Ako Incident).

Respect (礼 rei). A samurai should always respect his enemy. A samurai respects his opponent before and after the fight. Even if a samurai kills his opponent, he is very respectful to the corpse.

Honesty ( 誠 sei). A samurai never lies. “Deception” does not exist in the Book of a Samurai.

Courage (勇 yū). A samurai fights until the end. A samurai is never afraid of anything. He is not afraid of death. A samurai is always brave because he fights for something he believes in.

Consistency (誠 makoto ). A samurai never change their path. He is like a dragonfly, he always moves forward, he never moves back.

Okay but what if I wrote this fic idea (I’m going to be vague about some stuff only):

Main character is a girl who married [insert a fave driver’s name] young. The driver didn’t properly get over his ex so after 2 kiddos she finds out he has been cheating (booooo bastard!) so main character is sad, so sad… they try to forgive but they can’t so it’s marriage game over. HERES THE BANGER: while they were married she met a lot of people because the driver kept getting invited to events and sports things and shit, right? So… main character could potentially start seeing someone HE is close to while the divorce is done. While driver boy has gone back to his ex, miss thing goes and gets herself a bf but mr cheater driver boy doesn’t know. UNTIL one day, he comes to her house and is like “I’m here to surprise my children with a kart and MY PRESENCE!” (They are actually a good dad but feel me, main character is still hurt - she did love this idiot!) only to find that main character is home with her new beau and WELL new man is a total dilf - he has his own kids; and he is there with them plus main character and driver’s kids. And this makes driver jealous. Suddenly he is like “wait a minute… now that someone else wants my (soon to be ex) wife, I think I do want her!” So the fic is actually just the tug-of-war between a hot cheater and a hot dilf and logic keeps telling us main character will SURELY choose a man who has not cheated on her BUT WILL SHE? Will she?

i feel like the girls from high school will never understand that i never want to see them ever again, especially at a reunion and that i don't care about their groups where they only brag

like... 

ok, ramona! you moved to uk 9 years ago and you've been unemployed ever since and your bf sells dried slices of orange as christmas tree decorations but you're living sooo much better than in ro! so happy for you but i don't care 😒

oh, tania! you're getting married to the only guy who is the same ethnicity as you, who hasn't already married one of your 99999 cousins! amazing!

omg, miruna! you've opened your third website this month to promote your 78th business this year! i'm so happy that you're not giving up on your dream of not having any other job that isn't being a boss

look at all of you and your sugar daddies out of which only one is hot, smart and charming! what would your lives be without bragging to your former classmates?

how about me? another 5 neighbors died this week only... i fall asleep at 6 am with my windows and doors closed yet i wake up with my cat trying to smother me with his big fat ass... my bichon is probably soon going to join a clan de cutitari and his spirit human is a bombardier... but i ate fidea cu lapte and life is good

[at-the-exd-of-everythixg]

Ok uh DND HEADCANONS aka welcome to fantasy queer eye

Ava: A tiefling paladin. Bonar Fidea ("BONER?" "Shut the fuck up Sal.") Is sworn to her mission to protect the group of travellers she's met. Especially when faced with a particular half orc,,,ahem, Bonar is intent on doing good, not for the cost of gold, but to perhaps wipe her hands of bloodshed left over from a suffocating war that she refuses to talk about....just a shame that the rest of her party doesn't agree with the motives.

Mimi: Dwarf fighter named Viet Clearwater ("'Cause she drags her enemies through the fucking mud!"). Dwarf milf -

("wait," Lace squints and Mimi grins. "How is she a milf??" "WELL. You know that thing where a woman gets out of the fire and shakes her head? That's that." Everyone waits for a moment before nodding appreativatevly.)

- who worked in a blacksmiths for many years before meeting Sal's character and ending up joining his kid onto becoming fantasy bounty hunters for a few months before meeting the others. Viet's personal mission is to get a beach day yet each plot ends up derailing her from it each and every time.

Finn: Druid Elf called Roisen-Mae Maylar who worked in fantasy Greggs before Bonar robbed them and Roisen-Mae was the one who was sent after her due to him being "the new guy". Long story short, Roisen-Mae realised he was underpaid and joined Bonar in her avenging for justice, quickly realising that "justice" was conceived of breaking into places and killing people in order to free others. Roisen-Mae kinda wishes he could go back to Fantasy Greggs but...he likes the feeling of adventure in his blood, likes helping people in such a freeing manner.

Sal: Elvish Bard named Chester. Out here playing the top hits of "I want thy love" and "I was created for loving thee." With the backups of Wulf's character. Realised that he could get more cash and that there was...fuck, there was something magic about his voice that struck the monsters and mysterious assassins often sent after the party for some reason.

("Wait so you're some sort of siren?" Pascal had begun to laugh as Sal sqwuaked in indignation. "No! Its- its magic! Shut up you solar piece of shit!")

Sure, murder wasn't was Chester was expecting. But fuck if it ain't gonna be fun (skksks ngl I'm...half wondering if Sal would let his dnd character be in love like I am with him and me being ace sksk)

Mahogany: No character since they struggle with grasping the game but they usually have someone sitting on their lap while they watch everyone play and suggest actions. Sometimes they're allowed to be monsters but often Mahogany is just there to get some cuddles.

Pascal: Orc rogue named Solgrindr The Rugged. 100% he's here to get jacked and each mission allows him to gain One Ab. His guns are huge but his heart is even huge-er and Solgrindr speaks with a fiery passion to sell his training regime and to collect a million fantasy numbers. Since. U know. Solgrindr has earned these by now.

("So you're a Chad?" Mimi squints and Pascal lifts up a hand in offense before Sal interjects. "YEAH PASCAL YOU AN INCEL?" Pascal cried a minute later. He just wanted to be ripped, was that too much to ask?)

Solgrindr is but a man of his whims and what's a bigger whim than a fiery battle and an even hotter romance? ("His sole goal is to romance Chester." Pascal says, smiling viciously when Sal chokes from across the table.) Its just a shame he hasn't been able to live up to his full power yet...

Edith: A half-orc paladin called Yanag Broifstïgnäh who is...basically a carbon copy of Edith but no one's gonna exactly argue with a 6'something Norse angel who everyone excluding Wulf and Dae, are attracted to her. Yanag fights with the same ire and power anyone else would have done to protect her party entirely. She gets a magical axe that apparently washes her into an entirely new and powerful form only once every game.

(Finn frowns, tilting his head curiously. "You made Edith into a magical girl?"

Doe blinks and for a moment, Finn shudders when his own eyes meet his. "Yeah. Is that what that's called? Coolio.")

Yanag saves and romances a woman with every town they go to, but it raises questions when she seems to deny their affections, just as its suspicious how black tar-like veins seem to spread on her the more she uses this power.

Wulf: A human ranger called Bob Greenson. Your average, typical human man who just so happens to believe in fate and adventure! He shall charm everyone and fight the good battles!

("So." Ava squinted and Edith tried to not smile. "He's playing as himself...but a human man?" Her question seemed to get a rough snort out of Edith and a slight nudge of the shoulders. "Aye, but 'tis what makes the man happy I suppose.")

Of course, Bob is on a strict mission to product review as many weapons as he possibly can for his company, Weap'n'throw, while perhaps finding a few good spots to camp out for the ol' family? How's it goin' neighbour? Sure there are some sale issues, what with everyone wanting to murder Bob, but what sales pitch doesn't come with a bit of haggling, hm? With his mighty band of sales assistants, please speak to Chester on aisle three for magical trumpets!

Adonai: Dungeon Master! It's a relief to be themselves and to still be able to interact with the games and everyone else. Doe was worried at first that they would have been left out while everyone got to be something different. They would have joined, but the idea of yet again forming a whole new identity, trying to find the balance and shifts...it sounded exhausting. They couldn't handle it.

Ava patted them and told Doe that they didn't need to be someone. They could think up the scenarios and risks and Joys. It wasn't often that they got an opportunity to take over and simply have fun with risking Mimi's life or trying to create romantic scenarios between Edith and Ava. Doe takes great pleasure in being the DM and it isn't uncommon for them to modify their body for certain campaigns.

Lace: A half-elf wizard named Elvish Presley (Everyone groans. Mahogany weeps. Edith demotes her Valkyrie ways. Sal becomes a nun.) Elvish is interested in learning all sources of magic and why their world works. Is there anything connecting them all? A reason for them being here? Elvish is determined to find out, no matter what the cost...mostly of himself though.

Whether he admits that he wouldn't allow his team to get hurt or not, that is entirely Elvish's thoughts and feelings alone. Quick! Put that healing spell away! We can't let these people know that we feel and yearn! But little does Elvish Presley know, everyone is aware that he is a giant nerd with a giant heart that weeps when Bonar rescues him from the angry orgre who's wagon dealership they ruined in a quest.

Dae: A dragonborn ranger named Torpa Armani who dreams of becoming a famous writer-

("Th-that's bas-basically what y-you do anywh-anyway." Morde squints as Wulf grins while Dae flushes and shakes his head. It's a weak argument, to hear your clone try and deny the elaborate romance novels he writes about his friends.)

-But! Sometimes you just get whisked away onto wild and heart melting adventures. Its hard to ignore how good it deeps to help other people with their problems. It seems that Torpa may just be finding out that there's more to life than romance or tragedy books for them. Especially if they seem so insistent on carrying a weapon and being willing to put their trust and faith within other people once more after being outcasted for who and what they are.

Peach: A tiefling ranger named Puddles Skipclear. Puddles was once a water nymph, but had been cursed into a more physical form that didn't allow her to touch water. She is bound to dry lands until Puddles is able to break her curse. Unfortunately, Puddles doesn't even seem to know what curse bounds her and changes her for possibly forever.

(Morde is quiet for a moment, not meeting his clone's eyes guilt makes his eyes and body dim and slouch. Dae does the same towards Mordecai and everyone tries to ignore the guilt that isn't there's suddenly shifting around the room.)

She likes the people she has chosen to travel with. They're silly and their quests don't always work out, but they're honest in helping Puddles and she wants to trust in them when they say that they will help her remove her curse. They're all rather different from her water sisters that faded away and slipped out of Puddles' too physical fingers, but she's begun to have high hopes about what this mission could mean for her along the way.

Mordecai: Orc rogue named Vecivus Brogun, who is a well renewed theft despite his size. Parties could only dream of having him upon their sides. It's easy to steal things from countless people, but it's harder to steal the secrets. Especially when such a strange party seems to hold so many of these secrets. Some of them have simple ideas and wants, but others?

Oh, there's mystery to them and contrary to what others believe about orcs, Vec is far more easily aware and shifty than most. If only the others would realise these and help him out with a few gigs...after all, is it so bad to steal from a dragon if said dragon had so many riches that he would have hardly noticed if a few went missing?
