In October 2023, a number of artists submitted tracks for a compilation project intended to serve as a time capsule, set to release exactly a year later. While some artists drew connections between their work from the 1980s and the present day, others included messages aimed at the future, meant to be read in 2024. This project served as an exploration of timelessness, with each artist's perspective on their work being deeply personal and not easily shared with the outside world. Their inspirations varied — some drew hope from the past, while others tackled their fears. For a few, it turned into an exercise in nihilism, as they stripped their work of all meaning to reflect their views on the world, offering a glimpse into their personalities. And, others expressed a desire for drastic changes to make the world safer.

Between The Lines

Innocent But Guilty | Lotophagus Records | 2024

1. Tu parles d’une structure souterraine, c’est cheminées fumantes à tout bout de champ… C’est mécanique ou naturel, tu penses ? Aucune trace de vie extraterrestre. Et ces espèces de papillons ou de mites ? De là à envisager des créatures douées d’intelligence… Quelque chose suinte le long de la pierre, non ? Murmures soudains… Elle se fige, elle se retourne et elle voit les rouages — tandis que les pipes expulsent par petits jets un liquide visqueux et bouillant. Rapide coup d’œil sur le manomètre. La configuration demeure stable. Mais les murmures se poursuivent, implacables. Dans la cavité suivante, ils découvrent un tourne-disque relié à une grande génératrice dégueulant de câbles. Ça craint… Et au fur et à mesure qu’ils avancent, se répète la même courte séquence. À chaque itération, les parois semblent se mouvoir légèrement. Bientôt place à leur seul grondement… Une porte s’ouvre en contrebas, près d’une flaque… De pétrole ? Ou de métal en fusion ?

2. Derrière, une salle aux murs parfaitement rectilignes se déploie comme une cathédrale. Ils entrent prudemment. C’est très haut de plafond. La surface s’irise chaque fois qu’ils la regardent. Sanctuaire ? Il semblerait bien. Au centre de ce cube, un autre cube beaucoup plus petit, à dimension humaine… Magnétisme puissance deux, dit-elle. Elle s’en approche un peu. Une lumière trouble semble filtrer par le renfoncement léger des arêtes. Radioactivité ? Négligeable. Le silence s’est fait dans la salle précédente, sans même qu’ils s’en rendent compte. 

3. Puis la sirène retentit, mais ce n’est pas une alerte. Une brume rosâtre pénètre de chaque côté de la salle, elle recouvre bientôt toute la surface, s’élève jusqu’à leur taille… Ils s’apprêtent à rebrousser chemin quand soudain, sept danseuses émergent des vapeurs, paumes jointes sous le menton, la tête balançant gracieusement. J’ouvre les yeux à cet instant. Il est encore tôt le matin, il fait déjà très chaud. Je sors du lit, ouvre les rideaux. Je regarde couler le Gange, derrière l’improbable imbrication de maisons à demi croulantes.

4. Ça circule déjà dans les ruelles, ça bouchonne, ça bouge, ça se contredit, tranquillement. Au bord du fleuve, devant le temple minable, le vieux doit être encore là, à méditer, et à attendre mon argent. 

5. Ils me font bien rire avec la technologie occidentale. Le vieux sait autrement capter le signal. J’étais ivre et je voulais le photographier avec mon téléphone portable. Il a souri, j’ai cru qu’il posait. Puis j’ai vu des triangles tout autour de sa bouche édentée, des pétales de lotus formant comme une ronde autour de sa joie. J’ai renoncé à mon projet. Je lui ai donné cent roupies quand même. 

6. Les autres touristes ne se lassent pas de jouer leur rôle, de s’émerveiller, de s’agglutiner, de se faire arnaquer. Notamment là, quand on fait brûler un corps, quand on chante, quand on se réjouit si étrangement. J’ai déjà vu ça mille fois. Ça ne m’empêche pas de trouver ça fascinant, et de me faire harceler par des mendiants. Tiens, ces filles ressemblent aux danseuses de mon rêve. Pourquoi ne pas les suivre puisqu’elles me le demandent ?

7. Elles m’ont mené jusqu’à un bâtiment aux murs lézardés. Un cadavre de chien gisait devant la porte. Elles l’ont enjambé. J’aurais mieux fait de changer d'avis, j’aurais mieux fait de repartir. Maintenant je me trouve face à cette grand-mère, toute recroquevillée dans le silence et dans son sari. Grand esprit, grand esprit ! Qu’est-ce que c’est que ces conneries ? On me fait asseoir devant la vieille. Elle m’observe avec ses yeux blanchis. Elle ne marmonne même pas. Je veux m'en aller. C’est bon, j’ai compris, prenez toutes mes roupies… Mais je reste comme englué, je n’arrive pas à détourner mon regard. J’ai l’impression d’être visité. J’ai l’impression de me déporter — à l’intérieur de la vieillarde. 

8. Soudain, c’est la fête. Ils s’agitent et se dandinent autour de nous, joueurs de sitar, mères se déhanchant en portant leur bébé, chanteurs à moustache, enfants espiègles, fakirs et vaches (vraiment ?) et une grand mec à turban avec des lunettes de soleil et un goitre de bourgeois. C’est charmant, et pourtant je sens qu’ils se moquent tous de moi. 

9. Ils reprennent conscience par terre, dans leurs scaphandres. Quelque chose vibre en-dessous d’eux. Elle bascule sur son séant. Configuration ? Modérément instable. C’était quoi, ça ? Aucune idée. Tout s’est dissipé. Ils décident de rentrer à la base, puis ils remarquent, posé sur le cube, une sorte de bol en étain. Il contient une crème mousseuse d’une couleur verdâtre. Elle prélève un échantillon. Elle observe la bulle qui remonte le long du flacon. Qu'est-ce que c'est que cette substance ? Un champignon ? Les autres froncent les sourcils avec appréhension. Vous me mettrez en quarantaine, dit-elle, le temps que j'aie fait toutes les analyses. Si ce n'est pas innocent, j'en assumerai les pleines conséquences. Ils restent indécis et méfiants. Elle s'impatiente. Cessez de me rendre coupable de ma mission !

Fat people deserve mobility aids, too. No matter if it's connected to their fatness or not, because having a mobility issue that is connected to one's fatness won't change that they're still fat and still have the issue at hand. Fat people don't deserve to "tough it out" because fatness should be this divine punishment doled out to those who "deserve" it. Fat disabled people deserve to have the peace of mind that they can exist in whatever way is most comfortable and accessible to them

little idea for the mini au of Phoenix prosecutor

what if von karma somehow found out that Phoenix and Miles were friends when they were children (maybe hearing him talk about a certain Phoenix when he was a child or whatever) and upon knowing that Phoenix was going to be a prosecutor he decided to take him in as a student to have a replacement for what Edgeworth was going to be and at the same time have someone who was close to him at one point to tease him about leaving his path and his teachings when becoming a defense lawyer or something like that idk

I just want to give ideas because I like the au a lot jaja salu2

I want you to know that I was literally thinking the exact same thing…and then while I was in the middle of drawing this, @wrathofthestars said in the reblog tags basically the exact same thing BUT they also mentioned the bit about Phoenix writing Edgeworth all those letters WHICH WAS WILD BECAUSE I HAD ALREADY DRAWN THAT PAGE BEFORE THEY SAID THAT

Anyways great minds think alike

Instead of Manfred manipulating Phoenix the way he manipulated Miles (i.e. being awful, psychologically abusive, etc.), he goes the opposite route and manipulates Phoenix in a similar way to how Dahlia (and later in typical canon, how Kristoph Gavin) manipulated Phoenix (i.e. praise, attention, etc.). It’s the fastest way to get control of Phoenix and get him to trust Manfred.

Also I hate drawing this toad man 😭😭😭

[samcoving]

I seriously hate Cole. Why you questioning people that have no business being questioned??

"Innocent until proven guilty."

Yeah bro. I agree.

So when 5 different accusers and 20 different colleagues all agree he's a rapist guess what? That's proven to me that he's guilty.

"innocent until proven guilty" is not, and has never been about discrediting the alleged victim and blindly siding with the alleged offender.

innocent until proven guilty is looking at evidence and listening to both sides instead of going with the "the first person who makes the claim is always correct and innocent and therefore the alleged offender should be thrown in jail without any investigation witch hunt" mindset.

innocent until proven guilty is listening to the alleged victim and taking them seriously, while at the same time listening to the alleged offender and looking at evidence to see if said alleged offender actually did what they allegedly did or not.

cancel culture and "believe whoever makes the claim first without looking at any evidence" are the definition of witch hunt, and witch hunt has been going on for ages, and it never actually brings justice to the victims.

an alleged offender can turn out to be the victim in some cases, just like how an alleged victim can be an actual victim in other cases. and that's the point of innocent until proven guilty; listen to both sides and look at evidence before making any judgments.

and I'm saying this as a survivor of abuse, please don't blindly believe "whoever makes the claim first", but please also take the person who first makes the claim seriously by listening to both sides and looking at evidence.

"blindly believing whoever makes the claim first and treating the alleged offender as if they are actually guilty without listening to both sides or looking at evidence first" harms actual victims, whether or not they're the first to make the claim.

WOOLY GET BEHIND ME!

spoilers

I really dont think he's the big bad or even evil. In fact I think he and Amanda are a like but in different ways.

Both even have demon forms as shown in the ending of the second game. Also there are moments when both act sketchy yet there seems to be a light in there somewhere.

While i dont think Wooly is a child I do think he had ties with hameln. I also like the Sam theory.

Another thing i noticed is that when you are asked who you trust and answer "wooly" Amanda says she used to trust him but cant anymore. Wooly looked visibly hurt by this. Whatever he did to make her not trust him anymore he seems remorseful.

While YES there are times he tries to get her to ignore what's happening and trying to push that "everything is ok" narrative I dont think its out of malice.

Plus i dont think he is a threat given the fact Amanda isn't afraid of him. Just annoyed which is fair lol (If you answer wooly when she asks you what you're afraid of she just goes "-_- seriously?" lol)

I want a third game to see what the heck is going on with these two tho!

Some Harry Potter fans excuse Tom Riddle and love and defend him but draw the line at Severus Snape? Yeah okay.

If you’re Catholic and you voted red this election, you personally have the blood of all who will die because of that man’s actions on your hands.

If you’re Catholic and you voted for a fascist sexual predator and a convicted felon who treats women like sex objects and preys on the vulnerable and uplifts the same rich people who were cursed in the epistle written by James, you are not innocent. You are no better than the Catholics who sided with Franco and the Christians who sided with Hitler. Your actions are the direct cause of unfathomable human suffering, and you made this choice because you’re selfish and disgustingly cruel and morally depraved. I condemn you and I pray for all your souls in the same breath. May you be brought to justice before the throne of the Most High God, and may He show you exactly what it is you have done to His children and His planet. Repent of your sins and beg for Him to show you how to make right all that you have rent in your cruelty.

Christ said that those who name Him as Lord and yet do not follow His teachings will be cast out as liars. You have done this. You are utterly bereft of all that is good, and I pray to the Lord that you reap what you have sown and beseech the Blessed Virgin and all the angels and saints to join me in that prayer.

How dare you call yourself one of us. How dare you. We were called to be the stewards of the earth and the light of the world. How dare you.

@crazylittlejester the brainrot strikes again - I took one look at your meme post, immediately thought "Hyrule Warriors siblings", blacked out, and woke up to find that my artblock had been miraculously cured. Thank you for inadvertently causing that, and I hope this brings you some joy!

(I'd love to see what version of the meme you were imagining, if you ever decide to draw it, btw - your art is fire :)
