#it's a subtle but noteworthy distinction

[amalgamationillustration]

Alright Ghost Fan Artists, this is for you. Seeing as we have a papa with a real human face and not a silicone one I have to talk about this, if you're trying to capture his likeness and finding something isn't looking right like I was, here's a psychotically detailed tour of his face and the parts I think are worth noting when it comes to drawing his beautiful visage.

Tobias Forge has a really interesting nose, he has what's known as a bifid nasal tip, or a cleft nose tip, it's a rare thing that occurs early in fetal development where the tip of the nose segments into two, it's similar to a cleft chin, but for the nose. A butt nose, if you will, and I mean that affectionately.

Here's some examples of a few different noses with a bifid nasal tip

You'll notice them by the distinctive line or cleft down the center.

Sometimes they'll be more of a pronounced ala (the edges of the nose where it meets the cheek).

In some pictures of Tobias it's more subtle

But in others it's more obvious, it seems to change depending on the lighting and probably some other unknown factors

But importantly for all you fan artists out there, the Papa V paint seems to really highlight this center line

This kind of nose is really interesting and kind of rare so I wanna see that shit represented! Draw me that little cleft line, show me that little cute butt nose!!

So, connecting from the bifid nasal tip to the mouth is his philtrum, which is noteworthy because it's fairly broad, giving him a wide Cupid's bow

But his makeup is painted in a way that exaggerates the points upward and inward, this isn't vital when drawing him as Perpetua but can help if you draw the face and then the paint!

Now he has a specific set of things going on with his teeth, and I'm going to address the 'imperfections' with them, but please don't mistake that for me saying they're bad or need fixing. As long as they aren't causing him any trouble, there's nothing wrong with them. However as someone who's had orthodontic work done as an adult, I am really interested in the myriad of ways our teeth can come through and the causes for that. I'm not suggesting he needs to change them and in fact I think they have a lot of character and are also very fun to draw, and though no one is under any requirement to, I urge you to practice imperfect teeth, they're very common and add a lot to a portrait and character design and generally are fun and pleasant and full of personality.

So onto the teeth, the most notable ones right away are his bottom incisors, as he has some notable crowding

You'll notice his central indoors are mostly central/straight but his lateral incisors either side are sat further back, this creates what I've decided to call a bunny teeth look. As at a glance it can appear as though only the front incisors are there like a rabbit. This happens when theres not enough space for the teeth coming through, this can happen when either the jawbone is not wide or long enough or the teeth themselves are too wide to sit side by side, or a combo of all three. I also had some crowding on the bottom row as this is where it's most common, the teeth don't have the room required and they either crowd like this where they move to accommodate (sometimes it's symmetrical like in tf case where the same teeth on each side move the same way) or they can flare outward (more common with the top, I had this pretty badly, called an overjet, which is different to an overbite) or they sometimes teeth need to be extracted or occasionally theres orthodontic or surgical intervention to widen or lengthen the jaw or sometimes the sides of the teeth are sanded down to allow them to fit more flush with each other (it sounds shit, I've had it done, it's actually fine, just feels weird).

Another thing to note is that because the lateral incisors have moved behind the central ones, the canines on the bottom have slightly rotated outward and his bottom left incisor (out right in this case) is tilting inward. This is most obvious in the Lachryma music video where he seems to have some sort of wash over them to make them stand out.

You can basically only see his central incisors and his tilted canines here.

Now his top teeth are less distinctive but do have something everyone has noticed: vampire fangs

He does have a similar crowding with his incisors as on the bottom but much more subtle, very similar to what I had actually.

However, his canines are what steal the show here. They've got a two fold thing happening, so one is that they're slightly rotated, so they're sticking out more rather than laying flush with the others, and it's making the point seem more curved and pronounced as it's creating a visible gap between its inner edge and the lateral incisors. Here's an example of something similar pre and post orthadontic work, to show you how they move

Additional, his canines also appear to have erupted a little higher than the rest, so they'd normally share the same gumline as the rest of the teeth, but in some of us they erupt a bit higher up, which can often also push them out. So we have rotated, high and projected canines which gives him a really distinctive fang that means he's never gonna beat the V in Papa V stands for Vampire allegations and I love that for him.

This kind of formation also happens due to crowding, where his lateral incisors on the bottom sunk in behind his central incisors, his upper canines protruded out. This is again due to a slightly narrow palate, which is also seen in the fact that he has a very slightly recessed jaw, though he also has a prominent chin so it balances out and makes it hard to notice unless you're a little tooth freak like me. I also have a narrow palate and a more recessed jaw and chin than he does so I'm primed to see one of my own. You'll notice when he smiles with teeth but without opening his mouth, you'll rarely if ever see much of his bottom teeth, and it is normal for the bottom teeth to not be perfectly in line with the top, as they always sit behind the top unless you have an underbite, the layout of his teeth make it so that you only really see his bottom teeth when he's opening his mouth more fully, which is why they're seen more often in Copia due to the extent of motion required to open the latex mask mouth.

Now, I'm not gonna gate keep art, you can draw TF or Perpetua however you'd like in whatever style you'd like, but if like me, you're interested in likenesses and capturing them and like me, have found it really hard to capture his likeness and weren't sure what was missing, maybe this unnecessarily detailed guided tour of his face will help you, and even if it doesn't, you might have just learnt some fun facts about noses and mouths and orthodontics!

Hubble captures distant galaxy's light bent into a partial Einstein ring

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image offers us the chance to see a distant galaxy now some 19.5 billion light-years from Earth (but appearing as it did around 11 billion years ago, when the galaxy was 5.5 billion light-years away and began its trek to us through expanding space).

Known as HerS 020941.1+001557, this remote galaxy appears as a red arc partially encircling a foreground elliptical galaxy located some 2.7 billion light-years away. Called SDSS J020941.27+001558.4, the elliptical galaxy appears as a bright dot at the center of the image with a broad haze of stars outward from its core. A third galaxy, called SDSS J020941.23+001600.7, seems to be intersecting part of the curving, red crescent of light created by the distant galaxy.

The alignment of this trio of galaxies creates a type of gravitational lens called an Einstein ring. Gravitational lenses occur when light from a very distant object bends (or is "lensed") around a massive (or "lensing") object located between us and the distant lensed galaxy. When the lensed object and the lensing object align, they create an Einstein ring.

Einstein rings can appear as a full or partial circle of light around the foreground lensing object, depending on how precise the alignment is. The effects of this phenomenon are much too subtle to see on a local level but can become clearly observable when dealing with curvatures of light on enormous, astronomical scales.

Gravitational lenses not only bend and distort light from distant objects but magnify it as well. Here we see light from a distant galaxy following the curve of spacetime created by the elliptical galaxy's mass. As the distant galaxy's light passes through the gravitational lens, it is magnified and bent into a partial ring around the foreground galaxy, creating a distinctive Einstein ring shape.

The partial Einstein ring in this image is not only beautiful, but noteworthy. A citizen scientist identified this Einstein ring as part of the SPACE WARPS project that asked citizen scientists to search for gravitational lenses in images.

The Liondrake Beckons

by Sivaan of Candlekeep

While wracking my brain for things to do for @who-is-page’s Alterhumanity Writing Challenge, I figured I would close it out by incorporating yet another challenge of Page’s.

For these next few days, I’ll be incorporating the Folcintera Week Challenge into my responses for the previously mentioned challenge. Being a folkloric

Day 23 of the AHPI Writing Challenge

Day 1 of the Folcintera Week Challenge

1. What is your species? How do you experience aspects of your nonhumanity?

That’s a loaded question for this beast, to say the least. I experience being so many things that I could fit them all into Noah’s Ark if I wanted! Even so, I’ll focus on the central ones in this response.

First things first, I am polymorphic. Polymorphs categorically neighbor shapeshifters, although the latter is more recognizable by name in a mythic or folkloric context. While our community has tried to specify what sets us apart for years, many will find that we have our fair share of similarities as opposed to differences. The same can be said of my core species. Indeed, being polymorphic isn’t where my identity ends.

I’m a polymorph in the same way a wolf is a canine. It’s a general descriptor for what I am, but it also contains countless ways of being. “Polymorph” is my clade if you will.

My species is Panthera leo draconis: the liondrake. I belong to the subspecies P. l. draconis aurum, otherwise known as the gold dragonne of Faerûn. It is my primary species as a polymorph, followed by being The Winged Lion. Although I have well over fifty ‘types, these specific identities are the most prominent of my experiences.

Both bridge between my draconity and my polymorphism, two experiences that are intrinsic to who I am. Otherworldly in ability, versatile in form and with a strange attachment to humankind, it’s hard to point out where the Gold Dragonne begins and the Winged Lion ends. They even share a background of being used as heraldic symbols!

As of lately, I’ve come to use the term “Liondrake” as a way of grouping them together. Truth be told, the only things separating the two would be their sources and how their folklore is portrayed in said sources.

That said, not every detail lines up between them. Under the surface, these fictomeres contrast each other in subtle yet major ways. Although both position themselves as allies to humanity, my presence in Delicious in Dungeon’s folklore displays malevolence. I can’t say that I blame the humans of that world as I’m rather parasitic towards them. Then again, not all folklore is whimsical and full of adventure (rarely so, in fact). It’s no skin off my nose knowing that they feel such a way.

On the flip side, the same cannot be said of my draconic species’s presence in The Forgotten Realms. The allyship of metallic dragonnes is thoroughly documented in Faerûnian lore. Our reputation is comparable to our siblings, the metallic dragons— and yes, the distinction in spelling is just as noteworthy. Yet, dragonnes of my canon are much more familiar faces to Faerûnian society since we tend to stick closer to civilization in contrast to other draconic beings. Many a banner or flag is embellished with the image of us, likely due to our histories of meddling aiding in human affairs.

The folkloric dispositions of these fictomeres are also reflected in my archetropy. I attribute the Gold Dragonne with my quest guide archetrope, fulfilling the role of setting adventuring parties on the right path. Conversely, I attribute the Winged Lion with my wise serpent archetrope. I may not be serpentine in the literal sense, but my behaviors and motivations within the dungeon are more than applicable to a wise serpent’s role in mythology and fiction alike.

When it’s all said and done, these conflicting qualities exist as a balance. They’re on opposite ends of a spectrum, and everything in between is rich with complexity. It’s likely why I experience them in tandem.

The juxtaposition of these fictomeres are a part of my everyday life, just as their fluidity is. Despite their differences, they’re still deeply intertwined and of equal importance to me.

Is it too spicy if I say this is IPK themed 👀

No but for real this is a great flaw of so many Indian tv shows and unfortunately, IPK is no exception. A "perfect" female lead is NOT EQUAL TO a well written female lead and Khushi falls into this trope.

I get that it might seem like, if any thing, the show makers are biased towards Khushi. The narrative portrays Khushi as morally righteous even when she isn't (her lecturing about marriage and religion to Arnav and La; her bringing Shyam back against Arnav's wishes; her leaving Arnav for Aarav etc etc) and posits her as a totally innocent victim in many scenarios without giving any acknowledgement of her critical errors in judgement that led to specific situations - such as keeping Shyam's secret. But the truth is, these biases are only the result of the absolute lack of care they put towards writing and developing Khushi's character arc. And of course in general, she's better written than majority of Indian tv heroines because in general, IPKKND is a better written show. But within this same show, you have the example of a brilliantly written anti-hero with complex and satisfying character development; so it hurts to see how they have simply not bothered giving the same level of in-depth and CONSISTENT characterization for Khushi.

No matter how off the rails the show was, or whatever their constraints were with regards to commercial or channel expectations, they rarely compromised on Arnav's characterization which was always crystal clear and razor sharp. In the midst of the silly Swami track, the nonsense Sheetal track, heck in the laughably ridiculous Miss India track, Arnav was not made to do or act in un-Arnav like ways, for the most part. There are a few exceptions, but they're not very noteworthy and don't impact the plot much. They had a clear idea of who he is and what he would do and not do, and they stuck to it.

Not so with Khushi. In a weird parallel to in-universe dynamics, the meta narrative too picks Khushi as the most convenient sacrificial lamb whose characterization is sacrificed to meet channel demands, tv show format demands, and so on. Need to shoe-horn a comedy track where it makes no sense? Why not reduce her IQ several points and have her do totally illogical things with no rhyme or reason for some laughs? Need a low-effort way to justify Khushi spending time with Arnav? Why not make the "mature for her age" Khushi into a childish caricature who plays at being Gopi Bahu to annoy Arnav! Need a sick Arnav for Khushi to take care of? Why not have a selfless and responsible Khushi suddenly transform into someone so selfish and irresponsible, she plots to deliberately make her diabetic husband starve.

On the one hand, they erase all of her positive qualities to give her a host of flaws (stupidity, immaturity, irresponsibility) that are never explored as flaws, but just tools for comedy, picked up and abandoned at whim. On the other hand, her actual flaws and mistakes that could have used an in-depth arc are just...left alone. In fact what even are her flaws? As per the show, she has practically none - they are only lovable quirks.

Arnav's extreme reactions often eclipse Khushi's mistakes; we nor her get the time to sit with and reflect on her errors, instead the focus immediately shifts to him. Her mistakes are so disproportionally punished, it leaves no room for her character development. Character development is best prompted by moments of reflection, regret, and redemption. We get very, very few of these with Khushi - there's simply no space for it in the narrative of the show.

Its a very subtle distinction that is hard to pinpoint at times. For example, we see Khushi's pain showcased front and center time and again - its the classic suffering heroine trope! But is her trauma from Shyam, from Arnav, heck even from her own family, EVER explored in any real meaningful and satisfying way? No - because Khushi's interiority, just like her brain power, maturity, and sense of responsibility, disappears and reappears as per the convenience of the narrative.

You might say its unfair to compare her to Arnav, who is undoubtedly the protagonist of the show. Unusually for romcoms, Arnav is our main character and Khushi is the "love interest". So perhaps we can't expect her character to be explored with the same range and nuance his is. Okay. But consistency, surely, is something we can expect from Khushi? Why is Khushi EVEN MORE inconsistently written than the villain, Shyam, and supporting characters like Anjali?

There's a lot I do love about the way Khushi is written but I HAVE to sift through the material to find the good stuff which is often in contradiction to the bad stuff. Post the elopement, we see really very little consistent characterization with Khushi and the show's overall writing quality heavily suffers as a direct result of this.

And this IS a sexist trope. It falls into the madonna-whore dichotomy where you can only write 2 types of lead female characters: a perfect angel, who is always morally right and usually suffering without much else going on internally; or the vamp, who has her flaws and her complexities with which she entertains us until she is suitably humiliated and punished by the narrative.

A woman with flaws, allowed to learn and grow from them into a more mature and evolved human being??? Who ever heard of such a thing??? Certainly not ITV writers, circa 2011 (or now).

Sofia Coppola is one of the greatest female directors of our generation.

Sofia Coppola is regarded as one of the best filmmakers of our generation and one of the most acclaimed female directors in the world. She has built a strong connection with her audience through her storytelling. One of her notable works is “Marie Antoinette,” a fictional biopic that explores the life of Marie Antoinette during the French Revolution. The film follows her journey in marrying King Louis XVI and navigating the complexities of his family. Coppola represents historical figures in a way that prioritizes emotional resonance over strict historical accuracy. Rather than focusing solely on historical facts, the film offers an interpretation that serves as a social and political commentary on womanhood. Additionally, it introduces a distinctive style and sense of fashion that characterizes the main character, further enhancing the overall narrative. 

 Sofia Coppola attended art school and studied painting, which laid the foundation for her career as a commercial photographer and the designer of her clothing line. She made her filmmaking debut with "The Virgin Suicides" in 1999, but it was her second film, "Lost in Translation" (2003), that significantly elevated her reputation as a talented director.

Additionally, Coppola drew inspiration from her travels in Japan to craft the story for "Lost in Translation." The film received Academy Award nominations for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. It explores the connection between two lonely souls who meet in a transitional space while traveling, leaving their real lives behind.

One of the hallmark traits of Sofia Coppola's films is her ability to create dialogue that resonates with female audiences. A prime example of this is found in "The Virgin Suicides," which is regarded as a meditation on memory and fantasy intertwined with pop culture, featuring a soundtrack of classic soft rock music. Her characters are often depicted as privileged individuals—successful or wealthy—yet the films poignantly illustrate their feelings of isolation, loneliness, and emptiness.

Sofia Coppola is a remarkable filmmaker known for her unique editing style, which captures moments through the lens and fosters a deep human connection with the characters. She often utilizes wide shots, which create a sense of perspective and distance, enhancing the quality and development of her films. This technique, while subtle, significantly impacts how the audience perceives the film's narrative.

The lighting in her films also contributes to their aesthetic appeal. In "The Bling Ring," for instance, there is a striking shot taken from the top of a hill looking down, which depicts the teen characters as small, doll-like figures devoid of emotion. The use of blue lighting is another noteworthy element in this film, effectively involving the characters in the story.

Coppola's films navigate a modern and captivating blend of historical genres and dramas that focus on individuals' lives, allowing viewers to empathize with authentic moments interwoven with fiction.

Rolex Submariner 'HULK' 40mm Automatic Men's Watch Review | Chronostore

You don't have to be an Avenger to "Hulk-out". Today we're looking at a Rolex Submariner 'HULK' from 2012. Take time to adore and learn more at #Chronostore. Find new reviews every week. #BringTimeToLife

Shop now: www.Chronostore.com

Today we're looking at a Rolex Submariner 'HULK'. From 2012, this watch brings a decade of decadence stemming from a number of noteworthy details.

With a 40mm case this watch is suited perfectly for anyone with a budding collection as it comes with a green Ceramic Unidirectional bezel atop its stainless steel frame, made to match this model's very distinctive "Hulk" Green Sunburst Pattern dial.

It also comes with some subtle features that make this model such a prominent purchase. One of my favorite aspects is how it has the word "Rolex" engraved all around the inner rim around the dial.

More importantly, it features stick and dot hour-integers, as well as a sweeping seconds-hand at center aside the minute and hour hands, all of which have their own luminescent inserts.

Equally so, they're all protected by this watch's sapphire crystal, which features a magnified date-window over the date at 3 o'clock.

Still there are even more charming details about this Rolex. Similar to the sheen seen on this watch's polished hands, this model's unidirectional bezel features high-polished aspects that accompany fine details seen along the band, which is a primarily satin-brush finished Rolex Oyster bracelet that shows fine strokes along each link as well as a high-polished finish on each side of them.

Kept snug to one's wrist with a Rolex emblem-embedded safety-latch attached to a fold-over clasp, this watch is as secure as it is stylish.

Other details include an automatic self-winding movement, a screw-down crown, which assists this watch's water-resistance, and best of all you can inquire about its availability and pricing right here if interested. Bring Time To Life at Chronostore.

What do you think 3zun + WRH smell like?

-Regular anon

Huh. Now that's a very good question, I never thought about it, if I'm being honest.

But going on my instincts, I'd say that JGY would smell of the faint scent of flowers given the fact that he's freaking surrounded by them in Koi Tower, and oils that are on the mild side, but definitely expensive.

LXC I think would smell of sandalwood and something fresh and herbal, like mint. Also soft incense and subtle hints of flowers bc gentians.

In NMJ's case, I'd totally say that the man smells like a forest. Pine or wood in general, musk and petricor, with just some metalic understones, like an iron-ish aftertaste. Idk man, dude smells homely to me lol

Now WRH... that's tricky. He would have some metalic hints to him too methinks, but also spices. Nothing too sharp or intense, but noteworthy, exotic even, a very distinctive scent.

These are just from the top of my head tbh, I'd probably have better answers if I gave it some serious thought and researched their environment well. Feel free to completely disagree with me xD

A Kiss in the Shadows

from "Seductive Swords & Witty Words: Astarion and Elowen's Banter Collection." (ao3)

https://href.li/?https://archiveofourown.org/works/49958371/chapters/126540577#workskin

They had a recon mission, a seemingly straightforward task to follow a messenger, locate the hideout of the Absolute's cultists, assess their numbers, and return. Normally, Astarion would undertake such missions alone due to his efficiency, but this time, they needed someone skilled in detecting magical traces. Since Gale's stealth skills were lacking, Elowen's bardic magic would have to suffice. Perhaps not as potent as a true wizard's abilities, but it should get the job done.

That was the plan.

Tho... As anyone familiar with such endeavors knows, plans often take unexpected turns.

Under the cover of the gloomy night, the wood and pale elves ventured forth, focused and unnoticed. There was no time for their usual playful banter, no room for their witty exchanges; they couldn't risk alerting the messenger they trailed. Astarion led the way, with Elowen close behind, their gazes locked on the task at hand. They successfully located the hideout in the ancient ruins of what might have once been a temple.

They meticulously counted guards, noted possible escape routes, and identified advantageous positions for the upcoming battle when they would return with their companions, now well-prepared. The magic traces they were looking for were subtle but enough for Ellowen to detect them.

The mission was nearly accomplished; all that remained was a quiet retreat.

They began to make their way back, still within earshot of the enemy, when Astarion realized that at some point, Elowen had ceased following him.

He turned and saw her not far off but perilously close to an approaching enemy patrol. He tried to capture her attention silently, even attempting to use their shared tadpole bond to communicate mentally, but received no response. It was as though she were not truly present. He felt a rising frustration but couldn't decipher her intentions.

Without further hesitation, he retreated to her side using his rogue skills and vampiric abilities to remain silent. But irritation quickly gave way to concern as he caught up with her. The night offered them a distinct advantage; to human eyes, it would be too dark to discern the details that Astarion's elven, vampiric sight picked up.

Elowen appeared to be in a trance, her face devoid of emotion, her eyes reflecting a void of terror he had seen only once or twice before in all the time he had known her.

Any mockery that usually danced on his tongue vanished. He raised an eyebrow and followed her gaze to the edge of the torchlight within the enemy camp, some distance away. There stood a male figure, his back to them, entirely unaware of their presence. Astarion couldn't determine the man's race precisely, but the posture and height suggested human. However, nothing about him seemed particularly noteworthy. Then, the man gestured, incanted a spell, and within a matter of heartbeats, he vanished through a portal he had created. Astarion blinked in surprise; this was not what he had expected.

Before he could voice his questions or concerns, their situation took a more immediate turn for the worse as two cultists approached, part of the same patrol. Astarion cursed under his breath, silently urging Elowen to snap out of it.

But she remained unresponsive. Did the figure cast a spell on her that Astarion hadn't heard? No, he realized. This wasn't the case.

He shot another glance at the approaching guards, the time ticking away as they drew perilously close to the camp. Acting quickly, he seized her wrists, and she nearly jerked away, a phantom memory echoing within him. She was utterly terrified, so much so that it seemed she was losing her grip on reality. The void in her eyes, the tremble of her lower lip, and her distant whisper of "It cannot... it cannot be..." left Astarion feeling helpless.

He turned her face toward him, his desperation mounting. "Elowen," he hissed, his voice barely a whisper, "snap out of it!"

But she remained in her trance, seemingly impervious to his pleas. Astarion glanced back at the guards, now perilously close. Time was running out, and they were too near to the camp to engage without alerting the entire cultist force.

And then, an impulse he couldn't fully comprehend surged within him. Amid the panic that gripped him, he did something unexpected, desperate. He could have used various methods to regain her attention, but he chose the one that seemed right at that moment: He kissed her.

This kiss was different from the ones before. It wasn't part of a calculated plan to seduce her, secure her alliance, and manipulate her feelings for his own safety. It wasn't the fiery, passionate, and ravenous kiss meant to devour her in a game of calculated seduction. No, this kiss was gentle, fleeting, and light, as if it were his first kiss ever. It lasted only a moment, a plea for her to return to him.

And then it hit him. What in the hells was he doing? Panic coursed through him, but before he could withdraw, she blinked, her eyes focusing on him. They were still haunted, but she was looking at him, searching for something in his crimson eyes. She returned the kiss in the same way.

For that fleeting moment, the world ceased to exist, and something he hadn't felt in his undead heart for centuries stirred within him. He tried to remember his Plan, the calculated steps he had intended to follow.

But it had all crumbled.

The sudden movement of approaching guards snapped him back to reality. They had one last chance to retreat undetected. "Elle," he said softly, barely above a whisper as he turned to her. She nodded, understanding their predicament.

They somehow managed to sneak past the cultists, their minds still in different realms.

They didn't stop until they were halfway to their camp. The dark canopy of trees overhead swayed gently in the breeze, casting intricate shadows.

The night was calm, though their souls were anything but.

Moonlight filtered through the leaves, marking their faces with patterns of light and shadow. Elowen's gaze still held traces of terror, a silent plea not to ask, at least not yet. And he... understood. He nodded slightly, offering a delicate, half-smile. I'm here for you he thought, though he couldn't bring himself to say the words. He hoped she understood.

They stood in silence, communicating on a different, more profound level, one that both terrified and fascinated him. He felt exposed, vulnerable in a way he hadn't in a long time, like a tamed wolf, helplessly entranced by a forest's magical being.

Elowen's movements were slow and deliberate, and Astarion felt trapped in her gaze. He didn't want to escape. It was as if he were a beast under her spell, and ...he leaned into her thumb as it caressed his eternally cold skin. He felt...

Safe.

She understood, and that simple touch was her way of saying "thank you."

In different circumstances, it might have been amusing. The bard singing without words, reaching directly into his undead heart.

Neither of them knew how long they stood there. When they finally resumed their journey back to camp, they didn't speak, but the silence held less terror for both of them now.

Their customary bickering and playful banter resumed as they drew closer to their companions, though this time, their performance was meant solely to deceive the others in their merry band.

The Plan, his Plan was shattered.

And...

somehow...

..it was exhilarating.

DANCING VILLAGE: THE CURSE BEGINS - Review

DISTRIBUTOR: Lionsgate

SYNOPSIS: In an effort to alleviate her mother's ailment, a shaman advises Mila to return a mystical bracelet called the Kawaturih to the "Dancing Village," a secluded location on the easternmost tip of Java Island. Mila is accompanied on her quest by her cousin, Yuda, and his friends Jito and Arya. Upon arriving at the village, they discover that the village elder has passed away, and the new guardian, Mbah Buyut, is absent. During their wait for Buyut's return, they witness a series of strange and eerie events. One of them includes Mila being visited by Badarawuhi, an enigmatic mythical entity who governs the village. Mila is persuaded to complete her mission of returning the Kawaturih, but doing so poses a threat to the village's safety. When Mbah Buyut finally returns, she is convinced to participate in the village's ritual to choose the new "Dawuh," a cursed soul condemned to dance for the remainder of her life.

REVIEW: DANCING VILLAGE: THE CURSE BEGINS is a prequel to the 2022 movie “KKN Di Desa Penari,” which holds the distinction of being the highest-grossing Indonesian film ever made. As a noteworthy achievement, this film stands out as the first IMAX production ever created within Southeast Asia. In 2024, it will become one of only five films worldwide to be made for IMAX. The film's aesthetic appeal is undeniable, boasting a lavish color palette and visually stunning cinematography.

Lele Laila's screenplay is a standalone tale that does not require viewers to have seen the previous film, "KKN in Dancer's Village." It harmonizes family legacy, modern characters encountering an idyllic community, clashing belief systems, and magical realism, while also incorporating traditional narrative structures such as a hero's journey. The screenplay is refreshing in its portrayal of a different and unique culture, making it accessible to international viewers. The story revolves around a matriarchal society where the male characters, with the exception of the shaman, are powerless against the mystical. The dancing in the story is notably sensual without being sexual, and the interactions between Mila, her cousin, and his friends exude an innocence reminiscent of characters from classic children's literature. The plot takes several twists and turns, which are gradually explained as the story unfolds. There are survivors, and the village remains, leaving open the possibility of a return to the "Dancing Village."

The special effects were remarkably simple yet effective, reminiscent of the classic “smoke and mirrors”movie magic. One notable scene is set in a bathhouse where Badarawuhi terrorizes Mila, a terrifying atmosphere created with minimal effects. The costumes ranged from basic to vibrant and intricate, adding to the film’s overall aesthetic and mood.

Ricky Leonard, a skilled composer, combines traditional Indonesian instruments, refined movements, and a rich sound design to create a multifaceted score. The composition seamlessly complements the film's ambiance, heightening the tension and suspense in a subtle yet effective manner.

The film boasts a stellar ensemble cast. Maudy Effrosina, portraying Mila, exudes a captivating blend of innocence and determination as she navigates complex emotions amidst supernatural forces. Actress Aulia Sarah's portrayal of Badarawuhi brings to life a terrifying seductress who embodies the essence of her character's totem—snakes. Diding Boneng presents a compelling character as Mbah Buyut, the shaman. Surrounding him is an aura of intrigue, as he undergoes a transformation akin to Clark Kent's transition into Superman when called upon to take action. Claresta Taufan Kusumarina portrays Ratih, a local girl who provides lodging for Mila and her friends. Claresta infuses her character with sympathy and emotional complexity. Mila's companions, played by Jourdy Pranata, Ardit Erwandha, and M. Iqbal Sulaiman, deliver eclectic performances that are both likable and vulnerable in the face of the supernatural elements.

Indonesia's “DANCING VILLAGE: THE CURSE BEGINS" is a captivating horror thriller that stands out for its enchanting and unsettling atmosphere. Skillfully crafted with beautiful visuals, the story blends magical elements with real-world locations, impressive performances, intricate production design, and an evocative score. Director Kimo Stamboel masterfully balances the chilling horror with a touch of innocence, creating a fairy tale-like quality that sets this film apart. The mythology presented in the film is unique and compelling, leaving viewers eager to explore the first installment, "KKN Di Desa Penari," and anticipate future installments or genre films from these talented filmmakers.

CAST: Aulia Sarah, Maudy Effrosina, Jourdy Pranata, Moh. Iqbal Sulaiman, Ardit Erwandha, Claresta Taufan, Diding Boneng, Aming Sugandhi, Dinda Kanyadewi, Pipien Putri, Maryam Supraba, Bimasena, Putri Permata, Baiq Vania Estiningtyas Sagita and Baiq Nathania Elvaretta.

Recently Viewed: A Haunting in Venice

[The following review contains SPOILERS; YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!]

A Haunting in Venice is the best entry in Kenneth Branagh’s Hercule Poirot series to date.

Granted, that’s a rather low bar. Murder on the Orient Express was perfectly serviceable, but also quite generic; Branagh’s usually unmistakable voice was seemingly smothered by studio interference, leaving the finished product virtually indistinguishable from a typical Hollywood blockbuster—which ultimately prevented it from escaping the long shadow of Sidney Lumet’s superior adaptation of the classic whodunnit. And while I’ve yet to watch Death on the Nile in its entirety, its marketing left a similar impression.

A Haunting in Venice, on the other hand, is a different beast altogether. In a departure from its predecessors, it essentially abandons Agatha Christie’s source material beyond the basic premise (altering the setting, discarding several characters, and even revising the title), instead crafting a largely original story—which in turn allows it to develop its own distinctive identity.

Branagh takes full advantage of this creative freedom, making very deliberate artistic choices that elegantly convey the movie’s mood and central themes. Early on, for example, when our recently retired protagonist is at his most cynical and pessimistic, the framing is rigidly static (apart from the occasional pan), the compositions disconcertingly claustrophobic—thus lending the visuals an oppressively mundane atmosphere. When the plot unexpectedly delves into the realm of the supernatural, however, the cinematography gradually becomes more stylized dynamic: sometimes, the camera swoops and soars through shadowy corridors and spooky hidden passages like a disembodied spirit; in other instances, it’s mounted directly to Poirot’s chest, remaining focused on his face as reality warps and distorts around him. In an especially disorienting scene, the image literally flips upside down as the bewildered detective sprints through the shot, reflecting the metaphorical inversion of his perception.

These aesthetic flourishes aren’t exactly subtle, but they are extremely purposeful, mirroring the gradual evolution of the core conflict as the baffling mystery challenges our skeptical hero’s inflexible worldview. And in an industry that’s currently obsessed with maximizing box office profits at the expense of personality, this emphasis on craftsmanship, formalism, and narrative transparency is—God help us—legitimately noteworthy.

Boston's Bridal Renaissance: The New Era of Wedding Elegance in 2025

The historic charm of Boston meets contemporary bridal fashion in a captivating blend that's redefining wedding elegance across New England. With distinctive seasons and a rich cultural heritage, the wedding dresses Boston brides select reflect both timeless sophistication and forward-thinking design sensibilities.

Boston's Defining Bridal Trends

The bridal landscape in Boston has evolved significantly, with local brides embracing distinctive trends that honor tradition while pushing creative boundaries:

Architectural Minimalism: Boston brides are increasingly drawn to structured silhouettes that mirror the city's renowned architectural elements. Clean lines, precise seaming, and unexpected structural details characterize many wedding dresses Boston designers are creating—reflecting both the city's historic buildings and modern skyline.

Heritage-Inspired Details: With deep historical roots, Boston weddings often incorporate subtle nods to New England heritage. Contemporary interpretations of Victorian lace patterns, Baroque-inspired embellishments, and nautical elements appear throughout bridal gowns Boston salons showcase.

Statement Backs: As bridal parties process down historic aisles and grand staircases, dramatic back details have become essential for Boston brides. Illusion panels, geometric cutouts, cascading buttons, and intricate beadwork create memorable exit moments in centuries-old venues.

Transformative Elements: Boston brides often navigate multiple wedding locations throughout their celebration day—from historic churches to waterfront receptions. Convertible designs with removable trains, detachable sleeves, and versatile overlays allow seamless transitions between venues and traditions.

When visiting bridal salons in Boston, brides discover these trends artfully interpreted across various designers' collections, with Winnie Couture offering particularly noteworthy embodiments of these emerging styles.

Seasonal Fabric Considerations for Boston Weddings

Boston's distinctive seasonal changes significantly influence fabric selections for wedding attire:

Spring (April-June): As Boston emerges from winter, lighter fabrics with structure become prevalent. Silk mikado, textured crepe, and organza offer enough body to withstand spring breezes while capturing the season's refreshing energy. Bridal gowns Boston brides select for spring often feature delicate floral appliqués mirroring the city's famous blooming gardens.

Summer (July-September): For waterfront ceremonies and garden celebrations, breathable luxury defines summer selections. Silk chiffon, lightweight satin, and strategically placed lace create movement while ensuring comfort during humid New England summers. Many wedding dresses Boston brides choose incorporate subtle shimmer elements that reflect the harbor's sparkling waters.

Fall (October-November): Rich textures dominate autumn weddings, with velvet accents, heavier laces, and crepe-backed satins offering warmth and dimension. The bridal gowns Boston showcases for fall often feature deeper ivory tones and champagne undertones that complement New England's spectacular foliage.

Winter (December-March): Boston's snowy backdrop inspires dramatic bridal statements. Long sleeves, high necklines, and substantial fabrics like duchess satin and brocade provide both warmth and elegance. Cape attachments, faux fur wraps, and beaded overlays have become signature elements in winter collections at bridal salons in Boston.

Current Demand Patterns

The wedding dresses Boston market reflects several distinctive trends in consumer behavior:

Extended Planning Horizons: With Boston's premium venues booking 18-24 months in advance, brides are shopping for gowns earlier—typically 12-15 months before their wedding date. This extended timeline allows for more personalized experiences and custom elements.

Heirloom Consciousness: Boston brides increasingly seek gowns with longevity beyond the wedding day. Designs that can be preserved as family heirlooms, potentially altered for future generations, or transformed into christening gowns represent a growing segment of the market.

Investment in Craftsmanship: As a city that values artisanship, Boston brides are prioritizing exceptional construction and handcrafted details. Meticulous beadwork, hand-placed lace, and couture finishes justify higher investment in bridal attire.

Multiple Dress Scenarios: Many Boston celebrations span multiple days or include separate ceremonies and receptions. Bridal salons in Boston report increased demand for complementary looks—perhaps a traditional gown for the ceremony and a more contemporary design for the reception.

The Boston Bridal Experience

The journey to finding the perfect gown has become a significant rite of passage for Boston brides. From the initial consultation to final fittings, bridal salons in Boston offer comprehensive experiences that honor the significance of this selection process.

Winnie Couture exemplifies this approach, guiding brides through thoughtful collection exploration while considering Boston's unique wedding environments—from historic churches to contemporary museum spaces.

As wedding traditions continue evolving, Boston maintains its distinctive bridal character—one that balances innovation with timeless elegance. For brides navigating the wedding dresses Boston marketplace, the perfect gown embodies both personal style and the city's sophisticated spirit, creating not just a beautiful wedding day look but a meaningful connection to Boston's rich wedding heritage.

The Art and Engineering behind the Ferrari Gear Shifter

When enthusiasts talk about the exhilarating experience of driving a Ferrari, much of the conversation revolves around the thrilling performance and aerodynamic design of the vehicles. However, one often-overlooked component that significantly enhances this driving experience is the Ferrari Gear Shifter. This essential part of the car is not just a mechanical apparatus; it’s a symbol of the precision engineering and craftsmanship that Ferrari has become renowned for over the decades.

The history of the Ferrari gear shifter is as illustrious as the brand itself. Ferrari has always been at the forefront of automotive innovation, and its gear shifter is no exception. In the early days, Ferrari vehicles featured traditional manual shifters, which required skill and finesse from the driver. However, as technology advanced, so did the gear-shifting mechanisms in Ferrari cars. The introduction of the F1-style paddle shifters revolutionized the way drivers interacted with their vehicles, providing faster gear changes and an exhilarating sense of control.

Central to the driving experience, the Ferrari Gear Shifter is located within easy reach of the driver, allowing for quick and precise gear changes. The tactile feedback provided by the shifter enhances the connection between the driver and the machine, making the act of shifting gears as enjoyable as the acceleration itself. Each model of Ferrari, from the V8s to the iconic V12s, has its unique feel and configuration, catering to the preferences of various driving enthusiasts.

The craftsmanship involved in creating the Ferrari Gear Shifter is noteworthy. Each component is manufactured using high-quality materials, ensuring durability and performance. The gear shifters often incorporate elements like carbon fiber and aluminum, which not only contribute to the vehicle's lightweight design but also lend an air of sophistication and luxury. The ergonomic design allows for a comfortable grip, making it convenient to use during high-speed maneuvers or leisurely drives.

In terms of functionality, the gear shifters in modern Ferraris include advanced technologies such as an automatic double-clutch transmission, which enables seamless shifting without any interruption to drive power. This is a significant development because it allows the driver to focus more on the road and the driving experience rather than worrying about mechanical performance. For those who appreciate the finer details, each Ferrari gear shifter is also tuned to provide distinct auditory feedback—a subtle but exhilarating addition to the experience of driving.

Just as important as the buildings and creations that house these remarkable machines is the lifestyle they promote. Classic Ferrari owners often embrace the idea of luxury and nostalgia, encapsulated by items like Classic Ferrari Luggage. This luggage collection, inspired by the exquisite craftsmanship of Ferrari, perfectly complements the personality of a Ferrari owner. Whether you are on the way to a classic car show or embarking on a road trip through scenic routes, having luggage that carries the essence of Ferrari adds an extra touch of class and sophistication to the journey.

This seamless integration of lifestyle and automotive passion is what makes Ferrari stand out. The aesthetic beauty of a Ferrari Gear Shifter dovetails with the elegant design of Classic Ferrari Luggage to create an enviable combination of functionality and luxury. Each journey in a Ferrari becomes not only about reaching a destination but about enjoying the ride, and the tools we use—like the gear shifter and luggage—are integral to that experience.

In conclusion, the Ferrari Gear Shifter is more than just a functional element of the driving experience; it is a testament to Ferrari’s dedication to design, engineering, and the art of driving. With every shift, drivers are reminded of the precision and passion that goes into every Ferrari, and when paired with Classic Ferrari Luggage, the experience reaches new heights of luxury and excitement. Whether you're a seasoned racer or an occasional driver, the journey in a Ferrari remains unmatched—one gear shift at a time.
