So I was thinking about RWBY, and I was wondering what would be your take on RWBY's theme being Altruism?
Team RWBY and JNOR about altruism in the face of despair and loss.
While Ironwood, Adam, and Roman are all about being self-serving or cruel, often trying to justify their actions based on "moral grayness"
I think that's why so many Rewrites fail!
Because Jaune fanfic writers, Roman Fanfic Writers, and Adam fanfic writers are so obsessed with the idea of Moral Grayness and punishing idealism, they fail to grasp the key aspects of RWBY which involves idealism, hope, taking risks, and altruism.
But yeah, what do you think?
Honestly, nothing you haven't already said! a lot of people don't (or refuse to) understand that altruism is the theme of RWBY, and how much it matters to the story, how much it's at the center of it.
That's honestly a reason why it miffs me so much to see those people obsessed with making RWBY darker and edgy, they're all missing the point, inentionally or otherwise. Because it already can be dark, but it isn't cynical nor does it punish idealism like you said, it's idelistic and it lets hope exist, and it lets it flourish even if things don't always go well.
So, yeah! I agree with you.

October in Melbourne: A Month of Culture, Cuisine, and Color
Tumblr media
Melbourne is a vibrant city with plenty to offer year-round, and October is no exception. While my knowledge is based on information up to September 2021, I can provide you with some general ideas of things to do in Melbourne in October 2023. Please keep in mind that events and activities can change, so it's a good idea to check local sources for the most up-to-date information. Here are some suggestions:
Melbourne International Arts Festival: This annual event usually takes place in October and features a diverse range of performances, exhibitions, and cultural events, including theater, dance, music, and visual arts.
Melbourne Fashion Festival: If you're into fashion, October often sees the Melbourne Fashion Festival showcasing the latest trends in Australian fashion. Attend runway shows and explore pop-up shops around the city.
Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF): MIFF is one of the oldest film festivals in the world, and it usually takes place in August or early August. However, some events and screenings may extend into early October.
Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival: October is the beginning of the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival, which features world-class horse racing events, including the famous Melbourne Cup. Dress up, place your bets, and enjoy a day at the races.
Royal Botanic Gardens: Spring is a beautiful time to visit the Royal Botanic Gardens. The gardens are usually in full bloom with colorful flowers and offer a serene escape from the city.
Explore Street Art: Melbourne is known for its vibrant street art scene. Take a stroll through neighborhoods like Fitzroy and Hosier Lane to admire the ever-changing street art and murals.
Yarra Valley Wine Tours: October is an excellent time to visit the Yarra Valley wine region, just a short drive from Melbourne. Enjoy wine tasting, vineyard tours, and scenic views.
Visit the Great Ocean Road: Take a day trip or a weekend getaway to the Great Ocean Road. You can explore the stunning coastal scenery, visit the Twelve Apostles, and enjoy the picturesque beaches.
Melbourne Food and Wine Festival: While the main festival usually takes place in March, there are often food and wine-related events and promotions throughout the year. Check for special dining experiences and wine tastings in October.
Beaches: Melbourne has several beautiful beaches along its coastline. Whether it's St Kilda Beach, Brighton Beach, or others, October can still offer pleasant weather for a day at the beach.
Sporting Events: Depending on the year and schedule, you might be able to catch an Australian Rules Football (AFL) or soccer match at one of Melbourne's stadiums.
Cultural Institutions: Explore Melbourne's museums, galleries, and cultural institutions such as the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) and the Melbourne Museum.
Remember to check local event listings, official websites, and COVID-19 guidelines for any specific events or activities you're interested in during your visit to Melbourne in October 2023. Enjoy your trip!

August's interview with Kinopoisk Russia (November 10, 2021). I translated from Russian and I am not native. If there is a mistake, I am so sorry. Have fun!
- "Woland" is your second project based on Russian material (the first was "Kursk"). Is it an accident or do you have some special interest in Russia? What is it connected with?
• Yes, I have always been interested in Russia, especially literature and music. I have always felt some kind of connection with your country. Perhaps the thing is that I grew up on Russian fairy tales. I remember Baba Yaga from childhood. (Laughs.) In a working sense, the first project was the theatrical "The Seagull", with which we first went to Russia. It was 20 years ago at the Chekhov Festival, I played in Treplev's Moscow Art Theater. Then I came to the MIFF twice. I don’t even remember what films. In any case, then it was a completely different Moscow.
When I became interested in cinema, I immediately fell in love with Tarkovsky. It seems to me that to this day nothing has had a similar effect on me. Music - I don't even know where to start, it's so rich. But, in general, I am not unique in this enthusiasm: there has always been a connection between Russia and Germany, long before the revolution. It's something on a subconscious level, it's hard to describe... A gigantic topic, you can write books here. I don't even know what to call it. There is a certain common space, mutual understanding, much more significant than between France and Russia or Italy and Russia. Perhaps there is some connection at the linguistic level or in the abundance of tragedies that occurred in the 20th century in our countries.
- I wonder how it happened that Russian fairy tales were read to you in childhood? Are they popular in Germany?
• Oh yeah! Along with the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, Russian fairy tales are very popular!
- You say that 20 years ago the country was completely different. What are your impressions now?
• I am surprised by the technological effectiveness of your life. In Germany, people still pay in cash or by card, but here by phone. In this we are far behind. Much I imagined differently, but much coincided with my expectations and with what my brother told me (Jacob Diehl is also an actor; one of his famous works is the TV series "Dark".).
- Did you learn Russian for the role?
• The offer to play Woland came quite shortly before filming, I simply did not have enough time to learn the text in an unfamiliar language. If I had known about this a year earlier, perhaps everything would have been different. But I played Woland in my native language. In principle, in the history of cinema there are enough such cases - for example, spaghetti westerns. They were filmed in different languages ​​and then voiced. Although I'm still worried and I'm already starting to learn the text - I will voice Woland in Russian.
- I know that you read Bulgakov's novel twice before Woland. How has the perception of the book changed from time to time?
• Already even three times. I read this novel for the first time when I was 18-20 years old. At that time, we had a real fan club of The Master and Margarita at our school. It was a romance that many associated with drugs, Satanism - in general, with what teenagers are usually addicted to. Then I did not really understand him. It seemed to me too psychedelic, too cumbersome. I was ill with Dostoevsky then, all other literature did not interest me at all. Later, I re-read the novel in Alexander Netzberg's new translation and was absolutely delighted. And not only from history and coverage of topics, but above all from Bulgakov's language. It has incredible humor, poetry, impudence - a unique combination for Russian literature.
- There is a whole literature about The Master and Margarita in Russia. What is this novel about for you?
• Hmm, tough question. For me, The Master and Margarita is like three novels in one. The first, which serves as the basis for the plot, is a look at Russia in the 1930s from space or from the point of view of the devil. It presents the most extensive panorama of life at that time, and it is Woland, who has been living in the world for a long time, that gives Bulgakov this opportunity. There is a lot of satire in this part, but it still cannot be called pure satire. What happened in the USSR in those years is shown very realistically and reliably, albeit with a strong mystical tinge. The second novel is a story about Christ and Pilate, and the third is the novel itself, a love story, obviously based on the life of Bulgakov himself. It is also interesting how many motifs inspired by Goethe's Faust are there. Due to this complexity, it is not possible to accurately define the genre of the novel. Americans call this helter skelter - chaos, a nightmare, which in the finale gives catharsis. And it is interesting that the devil here turns out to be a figure who frees the heroes
- And which of these novels is your favorite?
• I like the whole part with Pontius Pilate and Ha-Nozri the most. Yes, and in terms of language, Bulgakov becomes a poet here.
- Who was your favorite character?
• Of course, Woland! But it seems to me that I am not the only one, everyone likes this hero. This is the main character of the novel, if there is one main character at all. Formally, the Master is important, but in fact there is very little of him in the novel. The rest of the characters form a complex puzzle, but it is Woland who assembles it.
- So you were not at all upset that you were offered to play the devil, and not a romantic hero like the Master?
• (Laughs.) Having read the novel, I would by no means want to play the Master. We meet him in a lunatic asylum, he is already at the end of his journey. What is there to play? In our film, however, he has a more significant role. But if I immediately after the first reading thought about who I want to play, I would ask Woland or Koroviev. Koroviev is the coolest role. He is Satan's assistant. Even Woland is partly in his shadow.
- Now I can’t help but ask how the film differs from the novel.
• I hate this expression, but: I don't want to spoil it. I repeat, the difficulty is that in the novel there really is no main character, but in the film this is necessary, otherwise the viewer will not know with whom to associate himself. We have a Master in this capacity. This, of course, entails significant changes in relation to Bulgakov's text. The love story in the film is also much more detailed than in the novel. So the main character is the Master, the antagonist is Woland, and between them is Margarita. But I play another role, since the action takes place on different levels of reality. We have different levels. The one who comes to Moscow is a Foreigner. And he becomes Woland already in the novel that the Writer writes. That's it, I won't say anything more. (Smiling.)
- And how did you work on your image? What is your devil?
• During the preparation, I studied different images of the devil, he can be completely different. There is Mephistopheles, Satan, Lucifer - we meet all these names in Bulgakov. I decided that it would be an easy, ageless gentleman who looks at humanity like a tourist looks at a foreign country. He is inquisitive, he is never bored, despite the fact that for 800 years or already 1000 years he has been participating in the same endlessly repeating game.
- In Russia, "The Master and Margarita" is a novel that everyone has read, and each of the readers has already filmed their imaginary film adaptation. Aren't you afraid of such responsibility?
• I have long been accustomed to this responsibility, it is familiar to every theater actor who plays Hamlet or Treplev. About these heroes, each viewer has his own opinion. So for me it's just part of being an actor, nothing new. In general, of course, I worry before each project. But it's a pleasant excitement. Of course, Woland is a challenge. Yes, the whole movie. As well as the fact that I, a German, play this role in Russia. But I love challenges, risks are the most interesting thing for me.
- It is interesting that before the role of Woland, you played Franz Jägerstetter, canonized as a saint, in "A Hidden Life" by Terrence Malick.
• Yes, it's very funny how it all happens. I never thought when I was filming "A Hidden Life" that in three years I would be playing Satan. But before that, I played evil fascists and could not think that in three years I would play the role of a saint whom the fascists killed. I also like this in acting: you never know what awaits you next. You can, if you wish, see the relationship between these works. In a sense, Woland is also a saint. In general, I see some solid line between my roles, an internal logic in their sequence.
- And if you take these two jobs, which one is more difficult?
• I don’t even know how to compare a fictional character with a real one. It's like comparing Bach and good pop music. What's better? I do not know. After all, both are music.
- I also ask because both of these films are dedicated to the 30s and 40s of the last century. What was this era, in your opinion?
• These years were key years for both our countries, for Europe, for the whole world, and it was they that shaped the world in which we now live. This is the time of the biggest catastrophes in the last 300-400 years. And at the same time, it was then that so many wonderful novels, poems, theatrical productions, paintings were created - an incredible combination. This time will always lead me to reflection. Everything we deal with today originates in these two decades.
- What should be the role for you to agree to it?
• Oh, that's a very good question! When I read a script, I read it as a spectator, I don't focus on my role. And if I read the script avidly, I want to see this film myself, then most often I say yes.
- Do you continue to work in the theater? What is the difference between theater and cinema for you?
• Yes, I continue, I need it. If I shoot for too long, then I start to be irresistibly drawn to the theater. I think that we all, even actors who have never played in the theater, but only play in the cinema, we all come from it. What a film actor does is like a photographed theater.
I have been working in a conventional theater for a long time and need it to this day. I like to work on the play for a long time, to participate in its life. There is nothing like it in cinema.
- And the last question. You played the saint, you played the devil. Is there any cherished dream role left?
• Hamlet was the role of my dreams, but now I don't even know ... Probably, there is no such thing now. Dream roles happen only in the theater, because there you can endlessly stage already existing texts, interpret well-known images. This is impossible in the cinema, there must always be something new there. I'd love to play Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver, but that's unfortunately not possible.

watch: annette (2021, amazon video). OUTSTANDING. AMAZING. BATSHIT FUCKING CRAZY. 11/10. i cannot stop screaming about this.
watch: the witches of the orient (2021, MIFF). a doco about the 1964 olympics japanese women's volleyball team. top shelf sports doco that sits a little uneasy with the current vibe of "hey how about we don't abuse the shit out of athletes to get them to perform", but it neither celebrates nor condemns the reality of what these women went through to achieve their immense success. however, the real draw is the archival footage of their training, what looks to be restored and colorized olympics footage, and the incredible use of the anime based on the team, which is why this was worth the price of admission to stream it. if you like sports docos or volleyball anime, it's worth tracking down.
watch: the chair (2021, netflix). sandra oh, my love!!!!!!!! this show was so unexpected. i'm going to watch it again. the soundtrack is amazing. i'm going to be thinking about ji-yoon and juju forever, rip my heart.
listen: lorde's solar power. except no, don't listen. what a flop.
read: i am once again giving priory of the orange tree. i'll report back in about 100 years when i finish this brick.

The revival for Zines and Music Mags - Online and Print
Earlier in the year, I had my first ever experience interacting with a physical publishing company, in which my photographs were used for a music magazine publication. The photographs were featured for a review of a musician named Under the Sun, as well as published online on their (now private) Instagram.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This prompted me to start researching physical print zines as a method of getting my work published. To look into this, I researched some local photographers and purchased their zines in order to review how they approached creating one.
Firstly, I wanted to research what a zine actually is and what it means to make one. Wikipedia defines a Zine as:
" A zine (/ziːn/ ZEEN; short for magazine or fanzine) is a small-circulation self-published work of original or appropriated texts and images, usually reproduced via a copy machine. Zines are the product of either a single person or of a very small group, and are popularly photocopied into physical prints for circulation. Popularly defined within a circulation of 1,000 or fewer copies, in practice many zines are produced in editions of fewer than 100. Among the various intentions for creation and publication are developing one's identity, sharing a niche skill or art, or developing a story, as opposed to seeking profit."
Tumblr media
Miff Pleasant Zines
Firstly, I began by looking at a former class-mates' zine publications, which specifically focus on documentary slice-of-life style photography from a Co-Op housing group for the Ipswich punk community. These zines really standout to me, especially as they understand their demographic and the publication scene so well.
This ex-student prints their zines using a combination of externally sourced prints and with hand-binding techniques. The zines are mostly black and white, 40 pages, and printed on 135gsm coated art paper
Tumblr media
Will Fraser - Tour Zines
The next zine that really stood out to me was the Bleak Soul Uk Tour 2021, published and photographed by Will Frazer. I have yet to go on tour as a part of my music photography, but making a zine for a specific event is a really good idea that had never occurred to me.
The zine consists of a mix of colour and B&W photos, as well as notes, interviews and documents. I really like this style of publishing information about a specific music event, and I really would like to try making my own zine for my work at the Smokehouse over the summer.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rodeo Mag
Next I looked at some photography from Rodeo Magazine, and how they manage their print based magazines. The publication released quarterly issues of their magazine that are "showcasing the best in new music across genres of alternative, indie and Americana".
The magazine aims to take unique approaches to presenting music journalism, such as its Haiku Reviews page for newly released albums.
The visual aesthetic is inspired by "American country music and diner aesthetic, though covers an eclectic range of great alternative music" which I thought was particularly interesting for a visual approach.
Tumblr media
So Young Magazine
Similarly to Rodeo Magazine is the creative platform and magazine, So Young. The magazine aims to blend illustration, photography and music into a publicized platform for the community. Founded in 2013, the magazine started as a publication but now "interlinks a record label, live shows and provides a creative platform to champion music and art from the underground up"
Tumblr media
Interestingly, I noticed that So Young have options for both printed and online copies of their work. This was particularly interesting to me as it demonstrates that, whilst the print industry is not dying, you can still modernise your magazine publications in a way that doesn't harm your success at all.
Tumblr media
Dislocated Zine
This zine is an art and music based publication focused on providing a platform to local creatives to showcase their work. The layout features poetry, interviews, music photography, playlists and more.
The zine is exclusively online, with no print copies available. This is interesting to me, as I reckon this direction will be seen significantly more and more amongst publication companies. The publication industry is not necessarily dying, it is modernising itself by moving articles and issues online instead.
I really like the layouts, and I think the way they've approached moving the brand online has worked really really well. I will definitely be submitting work to this zine in the near future.
