Decided to do a set of banners and dividers based on the scene images that would match, in style and size, my set of Coliseum Dividers. As new scenes get added to Flight Rising, they’ll get added to this set of photosets.

When linking from these images, make sure you’ve clicked on an image in the photoset and are doing your right click -> copy image link from the full size (640 pixel width) images, not from the downsized dashboard images. You are also welcome to copy these images and host them somewhere else if you find that more convenient. When attributing these images (not required) please link back to the first post.

[Image ID: Screenshot of a Flight Rising Nocturne dragon named Skywalker (#74611707) in MidNightTiger's lair. His colors are Abyss Falcon / Ginger Blend / Blood Underbelly, and he has Lightning eyes. His outfit includes some dark colored armor and gloves, black and red tailcoat and katana, and an eye scar. His broadcast message reads, "I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating..." He is in the Starksand Dunes scene, and his familiar is a Wicker Dragon at the tolerant bond level. /End ID]

Macabre Month 6 Part V: Day Of The Dead (2008)

In today's review, I find that zombies will soon have their day. As I attempt a #positive review of the 2008 Day Of The Dead #MenaSuvari #NickCannon #MichaelWelch #AnnaLynneMcCord #StarkSands #MattRippy #IanMcNeice #ChristaCampbell #VingRhames

The big advantage of civilization is that we’ve got most of the major threats beaten, while it’s not completely eradicated, the vast majority of us probably don’t have to constantly worry about being ripped apart. So we invent fictional worries to deal with: How will I take out the perpetrators if this bank branch is suddenly attacked? Or what three things will I take in my bug-out bag if Zombies…

Thoughts : Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)

Yesterday, in my continuing efforts to provide various types of content for this blog, I undertook ranking the films of the Coen Brothers.  Usually, when I rank directors, I have the issue of having to list multiple films I have not seen so that they will not be factored into the rankings, but in this case, there was only one film : Inside Llewyn Davis.  The film was already on my list of stuff to watch, as I am a devout and dedicated fan of the Coens, but in the history of unseen films that did not factor into my rankings, no fanbase was as vocal about me seeing the film immediately as this one.  With that bit of ‘friendly suggestion’ in mind, I decided it was time to watch Inside Llewyn Davis. 

Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) is a young seaman with dreams of finding success at a folk singer in 1960s Greenwich Village, New York City.  His previous musical group, Timlin & Davis, found brief success before tragedy visited Mike Timlin (Marcus Mumford in a voice only role), and his current solo release, Inside Llewyn Davis, is not selling.  Llewyn spends his days and nights living off of those he can, looking for any and every opportunity to make money, and making sure that all of his peers know exactly how he feels about their creative abilities.  Jean Berkey (Carey Mulligan), of the many people that Llewyn uses, lets Llewyn know that she is pregnant, though she is unsure if the father is Llewyn or her husband Jim Berkey (Justin Timberlake).  In an effort to make some sort of money to ‘take care’ of Jean and set himself up for a better life, Llewyn chases a series of opportunities, all of which lead him squarely to the realization of exactly how everyone in his life feels about him.

Llewyn Davis is as talented as he is selfish, and the way that he uses others and is driven by the bottom dollar perfectly sets up his oblivious (or possibly uncaring) nature to the wake of destruction connected to his actions.  The pride in his talent lifts his up to a place of entitlement, which manifests in an inability to regulate his opinions about others... sometimes his hurtful opinions are indirect, but usually, they are targeted and hurtful criticisms doled out to strangers and loved ones in equal measure.  It is often unclear (purposefully, I would surmise) if Llewyn’s harsh actions are driven by a sense of jealousy or a sense of spite driven by sociopathic tendencies, but regardless, either read would support the fear of responsibility that clearly sits heavily with Llewyn.  The long and short of it is, Inside Llewyn Davis is a ballad of an antagonist placed in the protagonist position who is continuously feeling forces that are trying to remove him from his comfort zone.

As a narrative, the setup of reflections on an edgy, tortured soul surrounded by the content, the complacent and the commonplace works as a solid foundation.  Llewyn’s presence as an antagonistic protagonist reads as him constantly trying to rock any and every harmonious boat he can find, be it for personal entertainment or as an attempt to drag others down to his realms of pain.  With all of this hurt and resentment fueling Llewyn, the symbolism of the cat as forced responsibility (and the very real unconditional love it needs) plays beautifully, especially as the actual cat switches while remaining familiar.  The tolerance shown to Llewyn by those in his life force the audience to consider the leeway given to the talented, and how many are willing to do things detrimental to themselves in hopes of raising the talented up.  Ironically, all of this is ultimately for naught because, as mentioned previously, Llewyn has a concrete dedication to taking any direction other than the path of least resistance, almost as if he owes a penance of pain.

The Coen Brothers have always been adept at comedy of all varieties, but outside of A Serious Man, it’s hard to think of another one of their comedies wrapped up in so many layers of tragedy.  This is enhanced by the smoky, lived-in, desaturated look that the film employs.  As a period piece, the Coens wonderfully capture a lost, gritty era of New York, and by comparison, the open expansion of the Midwest that Llewyn travels through are a memory of the pre-capitalism boom of the late 1970s and early 1980s.  The ensemble cast is relatively large but extremely well managed, and is chock full of kinetic and dynamic energy that can be found in every combination of interaction presented on the screen.  While the film is extremely musical, it is done so in a very sincere way, to the point where the story is driven by the acting more so than the novelty of having actors who can also sing.

The way that Oscar Isaac makes the most hateful characteristics of Llewyn so lighthearted and entertaining is a testament to his ability to connect on more than a surface level with both other actors and the audience.  By comparison, John Goodman comes in like a freight traing, throwing an amplified version of Llewyn’s worst aspects right back at him.  Carey Mulligan’s pain and frustration permeate off of the screen, settling in a place where they have a true impact with the viewer.  Justin Timberlake brings a sense of optimism and accessible talent that offsets Llewyn’s sense of detachment.  Adam Driver is a naïve light in a jaded darkness, while Garrett Hedlund’s brooding presence brings a quiet, sinister element to the film, like a harbinger of danger.  F. Murray Abraham, Stark Sands, Jerry Grayson, Jeanine Serralles and Alex Kaprovsky make memorable appearances, while support is provided by Ethan Phillips, Robin Bartlett, Max Casella, Ben Pike and more.

I knew going into the film Inside Llewyn Davis that the team of the Coen Brothers and Oscar Isaac was a “can’t miss” connection, and the film proved this theory to be correct.  While being quite the entertaining and thought-provoking work, it’s funny to think a movie considered to be a "strong Coen Brothers presentation" would be a career altering classic if presented by most any other director.

birthday wish rising

my birthday is on the 26th sooo... ;)

since my birthday falls on the first day of brightshine jubilee this year (the stars have aligned perfectly!) any of the upcoming festival skins/accents, coliseum chests or joxar’s items would obviously be very appreciated! ^^

i also collect (hoard?) the following items: intact parchment, labradorite, moonstone (!), sandstone, scroll case, and weathered grimoire! gifts of any of these in any quantity are always welcome so i can add them to my dragon hoard :D

i love the scenes lightweaver’s domain, sandswept delta and starksand dunes (!) so i’m always happy about more of them! :3

on the more fancy end i can never have enough of the flight emblems, halos and charms (only light pictured but i’d love any!) and i adore the golden and silver seraph apparel! :v

aaand for the final, big, "probably never gonna happen" kinda thing... sunchaser jewelry my eternal longing ;w; i can dream and admire the icon ^^

beyond this food is always always welcome to feed all these hungry bastards, as well as any apparel, especially things that create a nice light aesthetic! and who doesn’t love art of their dragons? especially for my beloved, zivshizitha in both her current colours and her original triple white <3

[saltminerising]

where the hell is starksand dunes the only deserts are either red, blue/gray, or dirt. What (same goes for autumn clearing, the trees don't match the color of any flight that does have them except shadow, which i get the vibe of just purple all year round)
