#how can someone so beautiful exist

One of the best things about Disco Elysium by far is that it does not fear ugly women. The world is full of ugly men, but ugly women are so hard to come by.
#I'm not calling the characters ugly btw#i don't believe any one can be ugly#i do not care for beauty standards and thus i don't rank people based on how āuglyā or āprettyā they are#but the characters in DE do not meet the conventional beauty standards and look like actual people with unique faces#and thus would be considered āuglyā#and that is so important to me. i go feral whenever media represents how people look like in real life and not how they look like in the#fictional parallel universe where everyone is a model and where a majority of the movies take place#because irl you don't have to be a model to be desirable#the most attractive man in any video game I've ever played has a receding hairline and a big nose and thick glasses and a small chin#and not only is representing realistic people. just good. in general. but it makes the character of Dolores Dei stand out so much more which#works for the game so well. she's barely human. she's a deity- a myth- a legend. the only version that exists of her now is the one with#glowing lungs. she's perfectly beautiful because she's inhuman. the fact that everybody else looks so human only highlights how inhuman she#has become yk?#if everyone was as conventionally attractive as her then she wouldn't stand out. we wouldn't get why she's so special.#disco elysium#disco elysium analysis#media analysis#beauty standards#this is only one aspect of how this game portrays real people btw. as someone interested in character design this just immediately stood out#to me#the first time i noticed it was when i first met garte and the second time was when i met ruby because neither are conventionally desirable#oh my fucking god the nerds who complain about a woman with a model face having body hair in a video game would perish if they played this#mainstream game/movie studios catering to western masses could never

what i love about the Famous Actor Natori Shuuichi of it all is that...it's not just that he's famous and therefore widely recognizable wherever he goes. like yes that is very funny because he was an exorcist before he became a famous actor, which means he CHOSE, on purpose, a day job that would make it harder to hide his double life/secret identity from the hordes of his adoring public, but it's more than that. it's not just that he's famous, it's that he's famous specifically for being an ACTOR, aka a person whose job it is to dissimulate, to make believe, to inhabit roles and emotions other than his own. like he decided he was going to become as visible as possible (which again was literally not necessary! he could have gone into any other career for his day job!!) but in such a way that everyone would see him but no one would see him - they would just see his various made-up personas, including the Famous Actor Natori Shuuichi persona. i can't decide if he's a genius or if he just made so many absurd decisions that they canceled each other out and circled back around to working out. he's either playing 9-dimensional chess or he's eating the pieces. too soon to say.
#the other thing i love about it is that in a very real sense it's his actor day job that is his alter ego#being an exorcist is his normie job. he's just a famous celebrity on the side#which isn't that uncommon in secret identity setups but it's still very funny#natsume's book of friends#natsume yuujinchou#natori shuuichi#natsuyuu meta#my posts#f#i think probably the actual answer is that acting was a very natural career choice because he already masks so extensively#both to hide that he can see things other people can't (and that youkai exist and that he exorcises them)#and to hide what he's really feeling so that no one can use it against him#so if it's already something he has to do & he's good at it...why not have someone tell him exactly how to do it & get paid for it?#and the other part of the answer is that most ppl don't go into acting assuming they'll get famous. the fame was a side effect#so each decision as it was being made probably made perfect sense. but put them all together#and you have this hilarious assortment of elements that seem to directly contradict each other#okay also i would be remiss if i didn't mention the other possible answer which is that the attention came first and was unavoidable#and the acting developed from the need to protect himself from the attention that he was going to be attracting no matter what he did#because he's so beautiful. and (in the exorcist world specifically) because he's the last of the natori#the more i talk about it the more i'm like no becoming a famous actor was the only path that made any sense for him lol#1) he's gonna be watched no matter what bc he's him -> gotta figure out how to hide his secrets -> learn to act as self-defense#or 2) he's got secrets -> he's gotten a lot of practice hiding them -> hey you could make a career out of this!#all roads lead to actor natori shuuichi. and since he's beautiful...all roads lead to FAMOUS actor natori shuuichi#i love it when i ramble so much in the tags that i end up contradicting my own post lol#he's neither thinking ten steps ahead nor is he irrational. he's simply making sensible individual decisions#that follow logically from what is available to him and what his priorities are

I am going to try and put this in as few words as possible, because my roommate and I spent an hour talking about this today; but there is truly nothing more incredible to me than human creativity.
Like, youāre telling me someone made this? Youāre telling me this art came from someoneās own hand? Youāre telling me this story came from someoneās mind? Youāre telling me that someone as flawed and mortal and lost as me made this?
There is a beauty in math and in science, I am not here to argue that. But mathematics existed long before us. Science will exist long after us. And while the knowledge we have is a wonder, it is not ours. We did not make one and one equal two, we only learned and accepted that it did.
But our art is not universal. Our music was born through us. Our writing will die with us. And there is so much more beauty in knowing that we have made something. People have language and culture and poetry not because it was fact, but by our own whim and design.
This is something AI can never fulfill. An algorithm cannot create, it can only compile. A computer generated image has no link to us, to human emotion. To human flaw and struggle and passion.
Art is beautiful, and creation is the most powerful thing a person can do. Your stories, your art, hell, your fanfic and original characters, they exist not because of universal laws of math and physics, but because of your mind and skill; and if that isnāt the most amazing thing in the world, then what is?
#late night philosophical rambles#late night thoughts#maybe I make no sense#idk#I will just never get over how incredible it is that we can make art#even content and stories I donāt like#they still have so much beauty because someone made it#someone created something#and fundamentally that is beautiful#art#writing#poetry#music#language#these exist through the human mind#even your fanfiction#your ocs#your fursona#it doesnāt matter if people think theyāre strange#you MADE something#that something wouldnāt exist without YOU#without YOUR mind#and that is so fucking amazing!#philosophy#fuck ai art#ven diaries

I think I've become an official HI3 player. I check the HSR leaks hoping for iterations of HI3 characters now
#I have little hope about some of them. For instance the Su and Kevin voice actors are taken by Aventurine and the Trailblazer iirc?#Kalpas' voice actor does the male Dreamseeker in Part 2 of HI3 which is not as terminal considering HSR is a different game but still#Luocha thankfully exists. I don't think they'll be introducing Kiana anytime soon#I would love Sakura but I'm way more into PE Sakura than CE Sakura and then there's what they did with Miko#Some of my favourite things of PE Sakura they gave to Jingliu or Acheron already (freeze timeā haunted and corrupted by lossā#unable to unsheathe a sword and memories coming back to her when she doesā#piercing someone's heart with her sword but the other person living on with a new lifeā...)#Thus an iteration of all that but with the cool things missing could get messy and unsatisfactory pretty easily#Mobius and MEI are similar to Mei and Herta so they're in a similar situation to PE Sakura#I find Griseo somewhat unsettling in a good way and in a way same with Eden. I love all the loss weighing on her as if she had already dead#with the concept of her being The Era itself and the era dying. So I wouldn't mind seeing them too#Hua seems like she may appear in the Xianzhou? Given the Marshall existence and that the Xianzhou drinks a lot of those concepts#Bladeā Dan Heng and Jingliu drink so much of Fu Hua. I don't care about Hua though. The Herrscher I did like though#I'm curious about what they'll do#Other than the Chinese voice actor having already a steady job in Mihoyoā there's echoes of Kalpas in Bladeā Arlan and Sam#so I really don't have much hope there. Not as little as with Kevin and Su perhaps but... yeah not really a lot of hope#Yet here I am. Hopelessly hoping for a Kalpas iteration. Imagine how beautiful the fire would be *sigh*#I was so mad about him being my favourite in HI3 but it just makes sense#Besides the Guzm.a process he went me go throughā he truly has a lot of themes going on that recall Blade. I don't know...#I like his CN voice actor a lotā and how he plays Kalpas in particularā both when he's calm and when he's deranged#The Dreamseeker doesn't have the same voice at all unfortunately. I would really love to see him in HSR what can I say#That's the kind of person I've become. In a little bit of time I'll be wanting a Kalpas plushie at this rate#I talk too much#I should probably delete this later

#hello I am some weird guy I want to tell you about my beautiful daydream world so you can put it on your tv show#this is genuinely probably how I would phrase it#I'd get a little freaky with it and pull like horror visuals from the inferno episode and mix that with the cyberpunk#I think longshot era mojoworld had rules and a lot of structure and everything was very tightly controlled by mojo#if longshot is not very far out from the. moment when mojo & the spineless ones became crazy (when arize transmitted the#TV broadcasts from earth)#then mojoworld hasn't really seen much evolution in the way the world works by the time we meet longshot#I think the physics are different there and 'magic' exists (really just magic to us because it's different physical laws)#and the universe is kinda duct taped together with magic and Spiral's will or whatever and outside the universe is the wildways#which are all cosmic horror whatever#and over time that starts to bleed in. you know. by the time 'star comes around#I just want. time horror. infinite chaos horror. probability horror. and of course The DoppelgƤnger#I also just want someone to animate his hair soooooooo badly please please please I saw it in my dreams. literally#Do I sound insane be honest

"I wouldn't do that if you aren't a ghost" well too bad I'm not a coward. I am currently standing outside and letting the snow fall gently around me. The beautiful sight of the snow falling, the sound of it hitting my hood but also the peaceful silence of the world around me, it is all wonderful and I am enjoying it all.
#literLly my thumbsbare old but itms okau#Okay I'm standing under a ledge now so I can type better#Undertale#napstablook#Undertale alarm clock dialogue#I'm still on tumblr because I haven't figured out how to get people to say the things in real life the same way they say things on tumblr.#like you never hear someone irl say I stood outside in the snow and felt like a child again for the first time in years#I opened my mouth and immediately a couple snowflakes landed on my tongue. It was the freshest water I've ever tasted#a few snowflakes also landed on my eyelashes and I giggled as I blinked them away. I thought about how complicated the world is despite#the existence of such simple pleasures as standing outside in a warm outfit in precipitation. Knowing you have a warm place to return to#the luxury of a heated home and warm clothing. If everyone experienced this would the world be a better place?#were there people before me that experienced the beauty of snow falling and the sound of it hitting their hoods and yet they still went on#to make poor choices and commit atrocities against others and hurt them? Why?#Humanity has come so far as to allow people to not worry about a snow storm killing them but rather to relish in the fact that they get to#witness it and experience the joy of playing the snow. Everyone should experience that. ...oh... i'm rambling again... sorry...

hanging out with my coworkers is such a delight miss me with that i hate my coworkers lifestyle i go out to drink sangria with mine to simultaneously juggle conversations between ingmar bergmans daughter, stand up comedy bits, the question of how much is lost in translating ancient greek and planning on how to steal passion fruit that was ripe for the taking in this very specific open space
#<3 what an incoherent lovable beautiful group which i adore so much#someone used an expression i HAD NEVER heard and i thought it was literal so we died laughing for 30 minutes#one of my coworkers was like.. and can you believe he took his guitar and put it away#and i was like. wait there was a guitar?? he had a guitar??#and... apparently thats an idiom that exists. somewhere somehow#i just figured the man had a guitar with himself which he resolutely decided to put away#one of my coworkers forgot to put his son his second sandwich of the day and the child was like... dad... where was my food???#and the way he told this was so funny i had to gasp for myself. what an animal. to forget to pack the SECOND sandwich of the day. how dareh#no father of the year award for him ive assured him#anyways life is really on what you decide to keep and to cherish and to love#then THEN i had roland barthes in my bag and one of my coworkers saw and she was like#CAN U BELIEVE A TEACHER OF MINE HAD CLASSES WITH HIM#and i was like... the times we live??? what the fuck??#im 3 handshakes away from barthes you guys

#found out a friend and mentor passed#you ever feel honored to exist in the same time as someone? to be loved by someone? to be seen by someone?#im so thankful for the gift of our paths crossing#she changed my life in so many beautiful ways#itās so beautiful how love can do that#I want to write a poem to her but I donāt feel that I have any beautiful words in me

/ I THINK- I think I found a faceclaim for L.ucifer/S.atan
#;self#self#i cant believe this is lit the first time i find a fc i think that i like-#i had to find someone who was very beautiful bc what is the d.evil without temptation? taking the shape of the very creation he despises#aka men (as in humans)#its easier to present himself that way too but imagine seeing urself in the mirror and#seeing that the reflection is the same as of the very thing you hate and envy the most; your replacement too#listen the throne of heroes admits individuals who are very questionable; i think the logic is so that#it has to be an existence that shaped humanity in some way if i recall correctly#i think there are some rules but; i think he could fit#and well; in his case the story follows as he planted the seed of temptation and sin in humanity#the capital sin; what shaped the course of men#im thinking; mine is a more 'compressed' version so he can manifest in the world physically#finding loopholes is what he thrives in so it makes sense; thinking about him slipping in the excuse that he is the manifestation of the#s.atan of the book paradise lost#so that's the only way he can be summoned; like how it happens with other literary figures#which that on itself prob also serves to limit him but still its something#I DUNNO IM COOKING SOMETHING SLOWLY#but i really want an angel mostly so im still thinking about it

sometimes i think iām a fully proper binary guy. and then i think about gender for a minute too long and
#no but i am a guy iām not non binary#but equally what makes me a man? what is masculinity?? how can i identify with something i donāt understand?? but i am a man! but why?? what#does that mean???? what makes anyone anything and does it matter??? no of course not! all that matters is that people can comfortably view#themselves and thatās the point of gender; to be comfortable#and gender *roles* are just bullshit and not real. but if not for gender roles where does gender come from?? again does it matter????#i mean really. weāre all just people and itās about being happy. these boxes exist for a variety of reasons but if thereās happiness in the#box then you take the fucking box#you can have as many boxes as you like. or none! you just do what makes you happy. .. but then what makes me happy#cause as i say. i am a man completely. i wouldnāt be happy if someone referred to me as not a man. but am i a Man? do i want to be?#if masculinity is built upon stereotypes and i can never truly meet those stereotypes then what makes me a man? itās the feeling of it?#the euphoria in being someoneās son. someoneās brother. someoneās boyfriend. you know? maybe thatās all it needs to be#i donāt have to understand masculinity to be a man. maybe no one actually understands masculinity or feminity for that matter because theyre#not tangible things. thatās what it boils down to itās fucking intangibility and culture isnāt it#and i mean i think in a sense thatās beautiful? gender boxes can suck because of what we say are in them but really inherently? the fact#that humans have such an array of ways to make ourselves feel more comfortable in how we talk about ourselves? thatās incredible#i think thatās all i have to say for now#once again this is macbeths fault fuck shakespeare why does this always happen#ezraās real life rambles#tldr i am a binary man but in a silly way i think. ever so slightly to the left. but i like being seen just as a guy and thatās easy enough#sorry to uh broadcast this on tumblr dot com if you read all of this i hope this was interesting
