#fly around on a plane

“Champion of the Freeway” (2024)

Here’s a commissioned book cover illustration for my dad. It’s a tribute to a late friend of his who owned an Aeronca Champ plane; that friend had apparently flown around a lot and would have picnics in clearings on his own, and that is something I find so so frickin cool!

The idea that uni protesters are "elitist ivy-league rich kids larping as revolutionaries" on Twitter and Reddit and even here is so fucking funny to me if you actually know anything about the student bodies at these unis. Take it from someone who's going to one of the biggest private unis in the US, 80% of the peers I know are either from the suburbs or an apartment somewhere in America, children of immigrants, or here on a student visa. I've heard about one-percenter students, but I've never met one in person. Like, don't get me wrong, the institution as a whole is still very privileged and white. I've talked with friends and classmates about feeling weird or dissonant being here and coming from such a different background. But in my art program, I see BIPOC, disabled, queer, lower-income students and faculty trying to deconstruct and tear that down and make space every day. So to take a cursory glance at a crowd of student protesters in coalitions that are led by BIPOC & 1st/2nd-gen immigrant students and HQ'd in ethnic housings and student organizations and say, "ah. children of the elite." Get real.

Sometimes I think about how Skipper and Doc were so stubborn, that it took Doc coming back from the dead to tell each other how they actually feel.

It’s so fucking tragic because, for one, Skipper didn’t expect to see Doc in the first place. Cause, yknow, he died. This man really thought he would just have his words left unsaid but MOTHERFUCKING DOC JUST SHOWED UP ON HIS DOORSTEP JUST TO FUCK WITH HIM

They make me ill and I’m the one who made the ship

Character profile evolution for Mav and Ice

(this is just a bunch of notes and only one of several preferred interpretations of mine)

Temper

Mav

younger: quick to anger. volcanic anger. may take some work and time to come around and then only if he feels there's sincerity.

older: slow to anger; probably still volcanic. doesn't want to hold grudges, will try to get past the conflict as quickly as possible if object of anger is close friend/ family without letting his ego drag it on for longer than necessary. for others, will distance himself without feeling the need to explain or justify himself if he doesn't see reciprocal effort.

Ice

younger and older: slow to anger. may forgive but won't forget. nuclear winter anger. his forgiveness may on occasion feel like being handed more rope to hang yourself with the next time you fuck up. none of this applies to friends/family. will forgive them pretty easily actually but will bring it up on occasion later. might take a bit of work to come around depending on the size of mess.

Humour

Mav

younger: enjoys slapstick.

older: wry, maybe appreciates harmless pranks.

Ice:

younger: sharp, sarcastic.

older: dry.

Temperament *

Mav

younger: sanguine.

older: melancholic-sanguine (?).

Ice

younger: choleric.

older: choleric-phlegmatic (?).

Spending habits

Mav

younger and older: frugal. has one expensive hobby but responsible about it.

Ice

younger and older: will spend on the finer things in life but price tag is always a consideration mostly for the principle of things - he doesn't like feeling like he's being taken for a ride in terms of price no matter how exclusive the thing being advertised to him claims to be.

Clothing

Mav

younger and older: found his style early on, will not budge from it ever (good for him he works it well).

Ice

younger and older: leans towards preppy but won't compromise on comfort. always dressed just right, never too much or less (or does he just look good in everything or both).

Love language

Mav

younger and older: default state is words and gestures of affirmation; when needed generous even extraordinary acts of service without saying a word about it

Ice

younger and older: default state is acts of service; when needed unexpectedly tender and moving words and gestures of affirmation

*lifted temperaments for younger mav and younger ice from @icemankazansky's amazing character profiles for both of them here (mav) and here (ice)

isnt it funny how the sun shines on all the damage like it was always meant to be this way?

Going on a plane soon so I'm downloading evil dead 2 on my phone (to watch for the 2nd time this month) because I know it will soothe me

Damnit lev lmfao. I was thinking about Shiva wearing corpse ash being resonant for other reasons, something about his relationship with the Bright Skinned Ones and death and whatever. No, no. More fucking importantly: Oh I wonder why Shiva is known for. you know. wearing bodies. his appearance is a mass of bodies joined together. yeah

On a rainy day a while back I made some very self-indulgent playlists for what music I think Abby and Hoagie would listen to (and thought way too hard about it). I could probably never do this for every member of Sector V because I don't think my music knowledge is that bespoke, but I think my taste and what I personally see the two of them liking overlap considerably, so I had fun with it. Hoagie Abby Some rambling under the cut

Hoagie loves a wide range of music, from good stuff to corny shit-- he is cringe but free. I think of his tastes as being categorically: -Early 2000s and late 90's R&B- Troop, D'Angelo, Boyz 2 Men, to a lesser extent Luther Vandross. Probably would also overlap a bit with Rap artists like Biggie Smalls. -Solo Crooners- Your Tom Jones, your Lionel Richies, your Barry Whites. I don't really think of him as a crooner, but I'll also toss Christopher Cross in there for fun. I think Hoagie would try playing Barry White in the COOLBUS on the way back from missions and Abby would yell at him for it. She can clock the longass intro to Never Ever Gonna Give You Up instantly from repeated experience. -Classic Funk and Soul - Rick James, Average White Band, Bootsy Collins, Earth Wind and Fire, Chaka Khan. Play that Funky Music White Boy is a certified Hoagie Anthem. -Detective-Core- This isn't a scientific category, this is vibes-only. But you KNOW Hoagie has The Classics in his collection. Deacon Blues, Copacabana, Shaft, Street Life, Ride Like The Wind, I Shot The Sheriff. Actually yeah I'm putting Christopher Cross here too. Hoagie would absolutely imagine a vivid music video of himself to Ride Like the Wind. As opposed to Hoagie, I think Abby's playlist is more defined by meticulous craft and impeccable vibes rather than what's most popular. She's generally more discerning about what she considers her favorites, but there's still a lot of overlap between her and Hoagie. They've introduced each other to a lot of music. -Jazz and Jazz Fusion - Herbie Hancock. Abby and Hoagie (and probably the rest of Sector V) could sit and listen to Fat Albert Rotunda all day. It's just a good album. Bob James, (though Abby finds him hit and miss), a little bit of Pat Metheny, and a little bit of Miles Davis. -Funk and Soul...2 - Stevie Wonder, Commodores, Abby introduced Hoagie to some great jazz-influenced artists like Quincy Jones, and Hoagie introduced her to Average White Band. She also made him realize Lionel Richie had a career before going solo, lol. Both of them are all over EWF and Chaka Khan -Hip-Hop/R&B Salt N Peppa and Mary J Bilge are mainstays for Cree, which she introduced Abby to when they were younger; now the two of them are at war stealing the same 5 beat-up, scratched-to-hell CDs back and forth from each other. Cree busts down the treehouse door fully kitted out demanding to know where What's the 411 is every Saturday.
