mutual dislike of the rain

I haven't heared the door knobs and fascism thing before, can you elaborate?

gladly! i was referencing one of the aphorisms by Theodor W. Adorno, Do Not Knock, one of my favourite philosophical texts, certainly top 5.

I would summarise it for you, but it's quite a short text and i am not embarrassing myself by trying to summarise Adorno, so I have transcribed it for you under the cut:

60. Do Not Knock

Technology is making gestures precise and brutal, and with them men. It expels from movements all hesitation, deliberation, civility. It subjects them to the implacable, as it were ahistorical demands of objects, Thus the ability is lost, for example, to close a door quietly and discreetly, yet firmly. Those of cars and refrigerators have to be slammed, others have the tendency to snap shut by themselves, imposing on those entering the bad manners of not looking behind them, not shielding the interior of the house which receives them. The new human type cannot be properly understood without awareness of what the is continuously exposed to from the world of things about him, even in his most secret innervations.

What does it mean for the subject that there are no more casements windows to open, but only sliding frames to shove, not gentle latches but turnable handles, no forecourt, no doorstep before the street, no wall around the garden? And which diver is not tempted, merely but the power of his engine, to wipe out the vermin of the street pedestrians, children and cyclists? The movements machines demand of their users already have the violent, hard-hitting, unresting jerkiness of Fascist maltreatment.

Not least to blame for the withering of experience is the fact that things, under the law of pure functionality, assume a form that limits contact with them to mere operation, and tolerates no surplus, either in freedom of conduct or in autonomy of things, which would survive as the core of experience, because it is not consumed by the moment of action.

Better Kate than never (dp x dc)

She drives in the rain, the wind whipping her face, her hair whirling in every direction. The red strands form a halo around her face as the engine rumbles.

Her sister is dead and her father is a liar.

She drives as far out as she can. She's not really looking for anywhere to go, but as she makes turns and twists, it seems something in her has already decided where to go.

The Kane graveyard is not lavish, but it is enduring.

She gets down and leaves the motorcycle on the side of the path. There will be no-one to steal it. So few people visit as is, and tonight she is to be the only visitor. Her father has likely drunk himself into a stupor for the night. It seems they are alike in more ways she had previously thought.

Her eyes graze her mother's grave and she brushes her hand against it by habit. Then she looks to the side at the smaller, delicately carved gravestone.

Her sister will have to be buried for the second time.

The thought is suddenly too much and she steps back, and away and again until she's running away and away.

She stops beneath a tree with reaching, sheltering foliage, and the rain stops pelting her. Her face is numb with the cold.

Her breath comes fast but controlled and her trained-in instincts make her look up and observe her surroundings. They are at the edge of the forest surrounding the cemetery and it is dark. Between the trees, however, it seems she can make out a glow.

She pushes past the branches and bushes, into the deep and the dark, her eyes on the dim light. She nudges one branch away from her face and finds herself looking at the source of the glow sitting atop an overgrown grave.

"Hello, Kate," says the woman sitting on the grave, her eyes a piercing, unnatural green. "It's nice to finally meet you. My name is Jasmine."

Goodbye to a World by UkiyoeBirds (it's me).

Ch. 5! Dust to Dust

Summary:

“Wh-who are you?” D-16 asked. The spark ghost tilted his helm and gazed at him with unseeing optics. “Don’t you remember?” He gurgled out, more of that strange pink fluid seeping out behind a cracked battle mask. The specter took a bloody breath. “You killed me.”

The mines are haunted and Prowl unwillingly gains a conscience.

I'm picturing the funeral Fentons kicking in the door as inappropriate music plays loudly, Sam is recording the whole spectacle...

I don’t think Sam would be invited (since I think Vlad would know that she is Danny’s friend and would probably poison his water supply or something), but I just know that she and Tucker are watching from some secret drone, and Tucker immediately changes the music to Sticky or something when they walk in XD

recommend me songs to add to my october playlist!! looking to expand my music taste and listen to some new stuff so put your favourite song/album/artist in the notes id love to check them out ✧⁠*｡♡♪

[silverskye13]

You: *casually dishing out RnS chapters that would probably change the chemical makeup of my brain if I gave in and googled any lore about the hermits* Me: *dodging with increasing desperation, sweat on my brow, knowing I absolutely cannot afford a new obsession* MERCY PLEASE I BEG YOU

Ahaha I don't ! Want to put a damper on your enthusiasm ! But unfortunately the hermits don't drop banger lines like that often [unless you're Doc or Rendog, in which case you drop lines like that all the time specifically because you know it makes people go nuts lol]. Helsknight is a very, very small character in the grand scheme of things, and Tanguish is an OC. An OC heavily inspired by one of the hermits! But still.

This is a bit of a "Writing Casting Rain using two characters who barely exist in cannon, let alone interact in canon" kind of scenario lol

One could argue I should just start writing my own goddamn books, but that would require finding a publishing company, and who has time for that?

Here. A bunch of rough doodles of these two idiots bc I wanna draw but don’t have energy for anything fancy hehe

🎵 SONG-TO-GO 🎵

It's Friday again, which means unbelievably, I get to do yet another song wizard new music Friday. For a 5th week! Somehow you're all still here. I'm not out of music, so let's do this!

For the uninitiated, Song-To-Go is a weekly song poll to take a lesser-known song along with you as you scroll!

As with last week, choose songs based on the 30-second Spotify snippets if you don’t know them (I’ve tried to make sure there’s something you won’t know), and if you like them they’re yours* to carry along on your trip!

*as in add them to your library etc., if you like them a lot come ask me and I’ll try and dig up a Bandcamp like for you, hee hee

[last week’s poll, now complete, and you can see the results. Or just listen to more music! And then tell me about it :) ]

This week's picks are all about rock and weird but really catchy indie (and the one ska punk track). What other genres do you want to hear in the next few weeks?

As always, poll’s open for a week, so if you miss this one, I’ll be back with another one by next Friday. I think I'll also keep a running playlist of everything I've posted so far, plus others I'm planning to use for upcoming weeks because honestly, I don't really feel like there's a magician's cloth I'm pulling back to reveal songs. A lot of this is actually just stuff I've played on introducing radio over the last 4 years :P

The growing playlist, here.

Happy scrolling! If you want to give your mutuals a few new songs, reblog and tell them what you liked. Happy listening!

Would you dare draw storm from x men and or the notorious Arthur Lester riding a penny farthing ?

AHHH SHE WAS SO COOL TO DRAW!! her hair was so fun to do!!! I wasn't sure which version of storm you wanted but I hope this will suffice :]

I couldn't draw Arthur riding the penny farhing for the life of me 😭 but here's a mildly lazy drawing of him riding a bike

Art block be damned

Comic Recommendations?

Jass and Prowl seems to be a really popular pair, but I haven't seen Jazz and Prowl interact in More Than Meets the Eye, Dark Cybertron, Last Stand of the Wreckers, Sins of the Wreckers, or, really, any of the series I have read so far. Does anyone have any recommendations of Transformers comics for these two? What comic caused the Jazz/Prowl movement?

I appreciate all suggestions.

[thunderwetter]

Holy Shit I just read Domino Milkshake

If you are a fan of JazzProwl and haven't read it yet - go do it, it's disgustingly sweet
