Had a moment today that exemplifies how my family thinks but like, in a way that’s just very sad and makes me glad I don’t think that way.
Showed a relative the amazing painting that friend did for me, and her first response was “you’d be able to sell that for some good money!!!”
Like. No????
For months I’ve discussed this creative trade with this friend, we’ve talked about what the other wants, we’ve gotten excited about it and traded progress pics as we work on it for each other, gotten stoked over making plans to get to the post office and seeing the other finally get it, and it’s just been a very wholesome and very fun project. It took six weeks for us to complete these projects, and now I have something on display in my room that makes me very happy, that’s objectively beautiful, and that I know a friend put a lot of effort into making for me and was THRILLED when I adored it.
And my family’s immediate line of thinking is “make a few quid from it lol”.
I can’t imagine the headspace it must take to go through life like that.
Maud Wyler won her very first award for best supporting actress/ actor in La Voie Royale at the Swiss Film Awards !
She thanked the voters for watching her work and her team for believing she could be a physics teacher. She mentioned it was the first time she won an award and said she’s touched that she won it here because it’s in Switzerland, in the mountain valleys, that she started believing she could be an actress. And she finished her speech beautifully by saying :
“and, I think, wherever is that space of poesy and peace, it is essential to creation. And I wish it to all of you, to all the peoples, and this evening I wish it in particular to the Palestinian people.”
assuming she does have a boss fight i hope we fight arlecchino 1v1 a la the childe/raiden shogun boss fights bc i'm getting tired of fighting Big Thing i want to DUEL
