#miro does suits

[themirokai]

Hello I am here to yell about Suits some more. Season 1 Episode 6, specifically.

First:

Harvey??? Are we jealous of the pretty paralegal, Harvey??

And then…

He definitely means that literally. He has absolutely spent time picturing Mike in a dress and heels.

And he likes the mental image.

Oh, Mike, we know sweetie. Don’t worry: Harvey knows too.

And then:

Mike is pretty desperate to get into Harvey’s home. “To help Gabby.” Whatever you need to tell yourself. 😏

Mike likes what he sees, obviously.

Harvey is a paragon of self control with a drunk Mike hanging in his doorway…

But he still says he’s going to give Mike a key!!!! 🤯

It’s cool. It’s totally cool. They’re bros. Mentor & mentee. Friends. Yep. Very normal. Very very normal.

[themirokai]

Reblogging again because I’m so not over this scene.

“Who did this to you?” is a trope it’s a fucking romance trope!

And then they follow it up with Harvey (a boxer!!) threatening to kick the ass of whoever did it???

Not “Did you file a police report?” which I think would be the response of most of my former prosecutor friends.

“Who did this to you because I’m going to physically beat them.”

Pardon me I am deceased.

Please send fic recs that include this exchange to my moldering corpse.

i love when other stars acknowledge that roope has the best style on the team. bc you could all get the barbie treatment like miro if you just asked im sure. he would happily play dress up with an entire nhl roster . he might not look happy but he would be.

[yoonyia]

I'm fighting with spirits trying not to murder this book for what they're doing with jane

THIS IS THE ONLY PART OF THE BOOK THAT REALLY MAKES ME ACTIVELY HATE THE BOOK

please

don't do that

I dont mind the idea of giving Jane a human body

hell at this point I think it's necessary and a essential part of the plot

BUT DONT FRAME IT AS WHAT SHE ALWAYS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE

DONT CONPARE HER TO PINOCCHIO

PINOCCHIO WAS MADE IN THE WISH THAT HE WOULD BE A HUMAN CHILD AND WAS GIVEN THE ABILITY TO FUFILL THAT PURPOSE

JANE WAS MADE AS A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE HIVE QUEEN AND ENDER AND DEVELOPED INTO AN ANSIBLE WIDE IDENTITY

SHE WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE A HUMAN

SHE WASENT INITIALLY CREATED WITH THE PURPOSE OF BEING A HUMAN

SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A BRIDGE SURE BUT TO ASK HER TO GET INTO A HUMAN BODY IS SAYING THAT THE ALIEN PART OF HER IS NONEXISTENT

THAT SHE SHOULD REJECT IT BECAUSE ITS "NOT WHO SHE REALLY IS"

THAT A PART OF WHAT MAKES HER HER ISNT THE FACT THAT SHE IS NOT A HUMAN

THEYRE TREATING THIS SACREFICE AND LAST RESORT LIFE SUPPORT AS ITS THE CORRECT THING THAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED

SHE WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO MIMIC AND YEARN FOR THE PERFECT REPLICANT OF HUMANITY

WHAT SHES DOING RIGHT NOW SHOULD BE TREATED AS WHAT WE FEEL WHEN WE WANT TO LEAVE OUR MORTAL FLESH SUITS AND BE UPLOADED INTO THE INTERNET SO WE LIVE FORVER

THIS IS LITTERALLY JUST THAT

BUT DO WE LOOK AT THE DIGITAL COPIES AND THINK "this is how we should have been always"

DO YOU HEAR HOW INSANE THAT SOUNDS????

"we should have been 1s and 0s this entire time and I don't know why we waited until my body was litterally unusable and my human life was dead to find a way to sustain it, this was how I should have been since birth!"

LIKE

wait

fuck

no, I can see people saying that

OK LIKE ITS SAYING TO AN AMPUTEE THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN BORN WITHOUT THEIR LEG

THAT SOMEHOW HAVING A LEG MADE THEM LESS OF A PERSON

AND THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE CHOPPED IT OFF SOONER

EVEN WHEN IT WAS HEALTHY AND PERFECTLY USABLE

THAT WITH A LEG THEY WERE UNFINISHED

I MEAN I DONT PERSONALLY HAVE A MISSING LEG BUT I FEEL LIKE ITS PRETTY SAFE TO SAY THAT A MAJORITY OF AMPUTEES WOULD PREFER TO HAVE THEIR LIMB AGAIN IF IT DIDNT CAUSE THEM PAIN OR RISK THEIR LIVES

AND EVEN IF THEY THINK THAT THE AMPUTATION IMPROVED THEIR LIVES IN WAYS UNRELATED TO PAIN I DONT THINK THEY WOULD EVER SAY THAT HAVING A FULL INTACT LIMB MADE THEM ANY LESS MEANINGFUL???

LIKE JANE IS STILL AS MEANINGFUL AND IMPORTANT AS WHEN SHE WAS A PHILTONIC ENTITY, BUT THAT DOSENT MEAN THAT SHE WAS LESS WHOLE BECAUSE SHE WAS ONE????

IS THAT NOT A THING PEOPLE UNDERSTAND?

I'm sorry this got convoluted I'm just really upset

the parallels between miro getting his magical recovery from his disability and then having to help someone who also basically got all her limbs, eyes and senses chopped off would have been such a nice thing to watch? I MEAN LIKE HONESTLY REJOICE THAT SHE DIDNT DIE

BUT TREAT IT WITH THE SAME MOURNING SOMEONE FEELS WHEN THEY ARE PARALYZED?

LIKE IM NOT MAD OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAPPIER ABOUT JANE BEING HUMAN, THAT MAKES SENSE BECAUSE TO THEM JANE WAS JUST A HUMAN ON SCREEN IN SOME AMOUNT OF DISTANCE AWAY

but to jane she just lost everything???????

SHE DIED

SHE DIED AND GOT A LITTLE BIT OF HER AUTONOMY BACK

ITS EXHILARATING AND NEW AND BRIGHT BUT THAT DOSENT MEAN SHE DIDNT LOSE SOMETHING???

ok maybe comparing it to a disability is too much of a human perspective on it (even tho the book insists she is human FOR FUCKS SAKES I CANT BE HAPPY)

let's say to her the human body is better because it is so new and so wonderful and so much simpler and easier and lighter and mobile and has all of these new things she can do like sweat and laugh and cry and shit and move

because for a disability you're losing several functions and gaining proportionally little and that's not exactly what's happening to Jane (I personally think a human body does less things compared to all digital material and activity between half a trillion people at any given time BUT THATS PROBABLY BECAUSE IVE BEEN LIVING IN A HUMAN BODY SO LONG I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO BE ALIVE, I DONT KNOW)

then treat it like it's that

make her struggle with EVERYTHING

give us more internal dialog of EVERYTHING being new

make it more full of awe and a new discovery and not a long lost longing finally fulfilled

DONT TREAT IT LIKE SHES FINALLY COMPLETE NOW

PLEASE

SHE IS NOT A HUMAN

NOT A HOMO SAPIEN I TELL YOU

I think I might have said something bad in this ramble and if so please correct me I'm not very versed in the nuances of disability and being human and aliens.

I just wanted to express my anger at the writing

I'm sorry for screaming

[s-che]

this week in rpg office hours news we finished playing through the slow knife and damn that is a certified banger of a map-and-questions game, and one of the best (few is probably too harsh) games downstream of a quiet year i've played. the shift from a drawn map to a corkboard emulator does a really good job at evoking a different theme in a way that's making me think more about the function of the quiet year map in the first place, and applying the suit-by-suit change in card prompts to really match the narrative phases of an established genre was beautiful. as with all good games, its making me think harder about the games that went into inspiring it.

anyway, yeah. slow knife rocks and you should go play it. enjoy one low-res screenshot of our entire miro board and a couple of details i really enjoyed

[themirokai]

I mean Mike says that the thing about Buenos Aires is a joke but I’m pretty sure it’s more like a fantasy. 😏

Sorry Na-... Roxanne. Man that name does NOT suit you....... aaaanyways we'll getcha cleaned up! Literally.

*He starts scooping, soaking, and wringing Nathan into the bowl. Poor Miro just watches, distraught.*

The thing about Harvey betting Mike in Season 1 Episode 11 The Rules of the Game

Is that all three of them (Harvey, Mike, and Louis) are completely on the same page that Mike is Harvey’s to bet

Like, Mike is horrified and betrayed that Harvey is betting him, and even more horrified and betrayed that Harvey is betting him and not really having Louis put anything up

But at no point does Mike suggest that he’s not Harvey’s to wager away as Harvey sees fit.

I've made a sort of voidrunner-sona, and her name is Miro! She's kind of inspired by jaguars- in fact, she does have jaguar rosettes, they're just covered by her suit.

miro and roope both wearing brown suits to opening night... what does it Mean

[ijustthinkevilunoisneat]

Uno can appeal to so many different people. You like the silly, sweet guy? I got a guy for you. You like someone who can put on matches like his match with Mox (like my brother does)? You like someone who can give such heartfelt promos (see: his promo for his match against Miro)? You like someone who can give such intense promos? You like an underdog? You like someone who can a loveable jerk? You like someone who will break the rules to suit him? You like someone who steps up for the little guy (Dark Order/Fuego Del Sol)?

He is so many different things because he can give such a range of different sides to him.

13 Artists Poised to Break Out Big in 2023

13 Artists Poised to Break Out Big in 2023, According to Naomi Beckwith, Marilyn Minter, and Other Art-World Insiders

When it comes to movements in the art world, there is often a group of bold artists who create the unexpected and influence upcoming styles and trends. This specially-curated collection highlights 13 diverse artists who have been doing just that: creating unique and innovative contemporary art. This past year, they have achieved impressive milestones and proved themselves as artists with high investment potential. These are the artists you should keep an eye on, because they are sure to do big things this year. Discover the talents who will push the boundaries of art in 2023!

Marilyn Minter, artist, on Tala Madani

“She is irreverent, savage, filthy, and very funny. Plus she is a great animator and painter. I love everything she does. I’ve been following her work for years.”

Naomi Beckwith, chief curator at the Guggenheim Museum, on Caroline Kent

“After making several strong gallery and project presentations, and currently gracing MOMA’s “Modern Window,” Caroline Kent is now in pole position for a strong critical contextualization. Harnessing the palette and deep spatial instincts of the Bauhaus, Kent’s 21st-century abstractions are imbued with a sense of embodiment, wordliness, and clue us in to the relationships between power and language.”

“The Nigerian-born, London-based artist Richard Ayodeji Ikhide has been creating a cosmology of archetypes celebrating object- and image-makers and creators in our society: observers, storytellers, alchemists, artists, and inventors. I discovered Richard’s large-scale watercolor works through the non-profit organization V.O. Curations early in the pandemic, and it has been amazing to see him continue to expand his practice. He just completed a suite of extraordinarily beautiful and complex watercolors for a Victoria Miro Gallery online project, and I think he is definitely an artist to watch!”

Gela Mikava, advisor and founder of Eye of The Collector fair, on Sara Berman

Gela Mikava (The Alienation), 2023. Image courtesy of the artist, Georgia,Tbilisi

“A painting which captures the journey of transformation. With the alienated man's search for a supernatural face, the painting highlights the strength and courage required to break away from the mundane and rise up to embrace a better future. As a positive heroes, they are a source of inspiration to others who are struggling to find their place in the world.''

“My pick is Xiyao Wang, a Berlin-based Chinese female artist that was featured in our day sale this season. For me, she is representative of the new generation of abstract painters and you can certainly see parallels of the lyrical quality of Cy Twombly merged with inspiration from global mass culture, electronic music, and all the media that has been of influence to millennials and Gen Z. She primarily works on very large-scale paintings in which there are many gestural elements that evoke landscapes, bodies and movements.”

“The artist I predict will have an excellent 2023 is the talented contemporary Ukrainian artist Nicholas Koshkosh (b. 1995). Koshkosh lives and works in Kiev. In recent years, he has gained international recognition for his colorful, figurative, expressive paintings. Koshkosh has found his own unique expression and aesthetic language that spans a multitude of references to biblical narratives, mythical stories and — currently — interpretations of his first-hand experiences and feelings related to the ongoing war and invasion of his home country Ukraine. Old tales are combined with cultural signs from the Slavic regions, fairy tale references and contemporary pop culture elements. Koshkosh’s works are often shaped by an underlying critical attitude toward ongoing political issues. I foresee a bright future for Koshkosh as an artist who artistically provides and creates a space for reflection and immersion in art.”

Debi Wisch, producer of The Price of Everything and The Art of Making It, on Michaela Yearwood-Dan

“I was at a show at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art over Thanksgiving featuring work by many of today’s most headline grabbing artists and this was the painting that literally stopped me in my tracks because it is so drop-dead gorgeous, luscious, layered, seductive, and fresh. Then one of my most trusted, intrepid, influential art collector friends mentioned Michaela as someone that I need to know. I have been on a deep dive ever since. She is young, smart, talented and has a visual language that’s unique — and the paintings are stunning.”

Barry Schwabsky, art critic, on Andrea Marie Breiling

“It’s inspiring to see a painter push her work forward as quickly as Andrea Marie Breiling has been doing. I didn’t get to Miami to see her show ‘Ribbons’ at Villa Paula, timed to coincide with the Art Basel Miami fair, but from what I can tell, her spray-painted swoops and swirls have taken even more volume, depth, and drama. The spiritual aspiration of an Agnes Pelton meets the blunt physicality of a Willem de Kooning in a synthesis that’s totally of the moment.”

Josh Baer, art advisor and founder of the Baer Faxt, on Hiba Schahbaz

“I have been following Hiba’s work for several years — in full disclosure I do not own any — and her development from works on paper to large oils on canvas is significant. Her use of the female body, particularly through the lens of Pakistani culture and a pivot away from the traditional miniature, is new ground, at to least my eyes. All she needs for her next step in the art world/market is a serious New York-based gallery to help her enter the conversation.”

Allan Schwartzman, art advisor, on Rafa Esparza

“There are three basic ways I think of an artist ‘breaking out:’ in their work, by recognition, or by the attentions of the market. Rafa Esparza, an artist of mature vision and healthy and growing support of museums and private collectors, is likely to become more nationally visible with upcoming exhibitions at New York’s Artist’s Space and the San Francisco Museum of Art. I especially admire his work for its accessibility and truthfulness, for its presence, both commanding and gentle, and for its natural, complex, and essential fusion of the personal and political, and for his propensity to ‘brown the white cube.’ Working in performance, painting, sculpture, and installation, while not beholden to the conventions of any idiom, his work embodies the complexity of identity through the interwoven elements of his identity, while also critiquing conventions of art and society.”

“I have been following Annie’s work for some time, and have long admired its ability to teeter on the edge between substance and fragility, rendering the highly personal into a universal language of loss. But there is something about her relatively recent use of bronze as one of her primary mediums for her ‘Stack’ sculptures that I feel has elevated her practice to a new level. I loved her entire show at Chateau La Coste this summer, but it was the one outdoor work, a monumental bronze ‘Stack,’ that I feel emphatically declares Annie’s place within contemporary art history. Standing at six meters tall in a grassy field, just across the way from an iconic Louise Bourgeois Spider, the two works seem to be in conversation with each other, the bold declarations of artists of different backgrounds and generations united in their meditations on motherhood and mourning.”

Saara Pritchard, partner at Art Intelligence Global, on Sylvia Sleigh

“As a figurative painter who came to prominence in New York in the 1960s and ’70s, Sleigh is massively undervalued and under-appreciated by the broader collecting world while maintaining a cult figure status among art world cognoscenti. It’s time for people to see her incredible work and learn of her important contributions to painting and the feminist art movement.”

Aaron Cezar, director of the Delfina Foundation, on Hera Büyüktaşcıyan

“Hera Büyüktaşcıyan has been steadily rising above career milestones, mostly recently with new commissions for the New Museum’s Triennial and the 2022 Biennale of Sydney. Although her works have been acquired by Tate Modern and Centre Pompidou recently, 2023 will mark her first museum solo of new works in a yet-to-be-announced presentation. Watch this space.”
