#susanne text

[flurrin]

I loooooovvve lyrics analysis. let's look up songs the WRITER didn't know the meaning of and talk about all the symbology together

[lowrezbonuslevel]

here's the kicker

LET ME START THIS POST by acknowledging my failure and deeply apologizing. This character's full name is "Susanna Patrya Haltmann." However, in last year's Day 4 drawing, I mistakenly used the name "Susanne" instead of "Susanna" for the text (which is in octal, btw)! It would later turn out that, for years, I had unwittingly fudged the last letter of her name. How could I do this? That is the question that has been my Roman empire since the day I realized my error. (I don't even have the excuse of getting my brain gradually sucked out by a supercomputer. 😔)

oh also day 4 headcanon: susie likes to dress up and takes her wardrobe very seriously. also she has something of a body.

in this design she has no mouth (okay technically it's the same as whatever the waddle dees have going on, a la "HE ABSORBED THE COOKIE!") or arms, but she has a torso (which is hidden in her work uniform via invisibility suit shenanigans, which itself ties into other headcanons that no one asked about)

oh also um. this

(wait til my fic comes out guys it's all gonna make sense. to me personally. or not)

turtely's OTP challenge

read day 21 on ao3!

prompt: buying flowers for the other

summary: John finds flowers and poems in his locker. The notes are signed with 'SH', but John has no idea who his secret admirer could be.

Gen, 880 words, Fluff, AU - High School. Secret Admirer, Love Poems, Flowers, Shy Sherlock Holmes

or read it here (because i miss posting my ficlets on tumblr):

❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀

John opened his locker and reached for his French workbook. His hand stopped moving halfway there. A french daisy lay on top of his books. A note was wrapped around it...

"You love me,

you love me not..."

"What the...?" John mumbled, staring at the daisy in his hand.

"John!" Mike crashed into him from behind. "Why do you look like you just saw a ghost?"

"I... uh I think someone left a daisy in my locker," John held it out to him, but kept the note.

"Oh my gosh, is it a secret admirer?!"

"What! No!" John waved that idea off.

***

Three days later John just finished his rugby training when he came back to his locker. He opened it and rose petals flew over him. A note was amonst them.

"Roses are red,

violets are blue.

I might be mad,

but I like you.

-SH"

John grunted and kicked his backpack softly. Whoever thought it was romantic to put roses in his locker forgot about the mess they made along with it. He cleaned it up, but sone small part inside him queried who "SH" was...

***

The next time there was an actual flower bouquet in it. Tulips. John had to smile, he loved tulips. He caught himself looking for a note. There, behind his English workbook, he found it.

"I dream of tulips,

yellow, blue, the leaves are green.

I dream of my lips on your lips,

no inbetween.

-SH"

John laughed. The poems really weren't that great... however he couldn't help but wonder, who the secret admirer was. SH... Sabrina Hollen from his English class? Susanne Heeling from biology? Sabrina constantly joked around with him and Susanne seemed to stare at him but whenever he tried to look her in the eyes... she looked away, cheeks pink.

Or could it be... No, no way the serious chemistry nerd would hide flowers in... but what if? Doesn't matter. It's not him... and besides, John wasn't gay.

John hadn't noticed he had crumbled up the note in his hand. When he flattened it again, he saw a PS on the backside.

"Meet me tomorrow. 3pm at Speedy's."

***

"Just don't get killed," Mike said over the phone.

"I'll be fine," John allayed. "Okay. I'm here. I'll text you."

"Alright. Enjoy. No murders!"

John rolled his eyes, "I'll do my best to not get murdered."

"That's my man. Don't forget to text!"

"Yes, yes. Bye now!" John hung up.

He was here. At Speedy's. Going to meet his secret admirer (not his murderer, he hoped).

He sat down on a desk in the back, but he could overlook everything and he was close to an emergency exit - just in case. By now it was 2:57 and John was getting nervous. Would his admirer actually have the guts to show up?

The time passed and at 3:04 he slowly started doubting his decision to come here. He wasn't sure what - or better, who - he was expecting even.

'My lips on your lips, no inbetween,' an inner voice whispered.

Just in that moment the door opened and the chimes above it jingled. A shadow stood in the frame... and then it moved towards him, with a confidence, John admired.

When the shadow turned into a human with a face... John gasped...

"Sher- Sherlock?"

"Hello, John," the tall boy stood in front of the small table, where John had sat down.

"I don't- are you... did you put all the flowers into my locker?" John suddenly felt extremely nervous upon seeing Sherlock Holmes. He knew him from chemistry class, they did a few experiments together and had a great time. John had loved how the serious boy's face lit up when he tried out something new and it worked.

Sherlock twisted his face as if in pain. "It was Irene's idea. She was sick of me whining at her about how I wanted... want to know you better."

That made John relax, he asked, "Want to know me better as in," a huge grin spread on his face, "'my lips on your lips, roses are red, tulips are green, no inbetween' way or a... platonic way?"

Sherlock - still standing - just stared at him. He looked slightly in shock. "I never wrote that."

"Eh, close enough," John leaned back, waving dismissively with his hand.

"You clearly have no idea about poetry, John."

"Well you better be glad, otherwise I wouldn't be here on this date with you," John smirked.

The stiff expression on Sherlock's face melted and turned into a smile. He plummeted onto the chair opposite of John and sighed, "Alright, fair enough." Then he blushed. "Date," he pointed out.

John laughed. "You wooed me with flowers and poems, what did you expect?"

Sherlock smiled, his cheeks turning even redder when he laid a hand over John's. "I wasn't sure it was gonna work. Thanks for coming."

John felt his hand starting to sweat underneath Sherlock's, so he pulled it out and slapped his thighs. "I'm gonna grab a coffee. Can I get my date something?"

"Oh, uh... coffee. Black, two sugars."

John got up. But when he walked by Sherlock, he leaned down and whispered in his ear, "I am so happy my secret admirer is you."

Then, he headed to the counter to order.

[mybeingthere]

Herman de Vries (born 1931 in Alkmaar) is a Dutch artist. He typically writes his name in lower-case as "herman de vries" on his artwork - 'to avoid hierarchy'.

"Since 1954 he has worked on mobiles, collage, monochromes, assuming an important role early on in the Dutch group NUL and the international movement ZERO, also through intense activities as a writer and experimental publisher. Since his debut in the ZERO, in the 1950s and 1960s, de vries has constantly worked on an idea of essential, elementary compositional and operative expression, trying to recreate the fundamental mechanisms of life through the artistic action. In his work marked across the decades by an extraordinarily inventive range of solutions and materic and linguistic experiments, art, science and philosophy are constantly put into relation with each other and the reality of the world.

He categorises his paintings as 'informal'. Using no figuration or colour, the paintings are his first steps towards randomness as a principle of the order. This principle aims to achieve absolute objectivity, and has had a central role throughout his artistic career. Currently, his art focuses on the disrupted relation between humanity and nature. In 2015, herman de vries exhibited his work at the LVI Biennale of Venice (exhibition curated by Cees de Boer e Colin Huizing) and impressed the jury that selected him in the first place.

de vries works and lives with his wife Susanne in Eschenau near Knetzgau, Germany." (Text by Kooness)

I have been marinating on something for the last day.

For roughly ten years I have been sharing my analysis of different aspects of THG books, but I started writing in depth character analysis before I ever joined the fandom. By nature of analysis they are subjective to comprehension, education, and personal experiences, however, I do my absolute best to keep them as unbiased as possible.

I understand that what I offer may not be what you've interpreted, and that's fine. We can discuss where we're each coming from, and agree to disagree if we don't come to an understanding. There are some things that I've shifted on over the years as I learn more about classic literature and symbolism, and even people pointing out text in a way that I never noticed. My mind continually seems to be blown by these books.

What's completely uncool is to not only tell me that my analysis is wrong, but that Susanne Collins wouldn't want me to interpret what I did, they way I did.

Motherfucking what now?? The two of you bffs? You discuss this over brunch??

So what's my beef? It stems from the kerfuffle from a few days ago where there was a bit of arguing over Katniss and whether she felt sexually aroused when Gale kissed her in 2. I did't know this was hotly debated issue till after. The person was complaining about Gale and so I offered some insight by linking my Gale analysis, (which I've already decided needs to be rewritten because there's things I'd like to add or provide further clarification on).

My analysis is metaphorical, specifically comparing THG to Dante's Comedies and how the series is Katniss's own journey through the seven hells to paradise through spiritual transformation.

They said they agreed with everything except Gale having sexual feelings for Katniss (weird take, but okay). I went on to explain that Gale represents the most base of men, and that that he's meant to provide contrast to the feelings she has for Peeta, which elevate above sexual desire to a more spiritual level. Specifically, the cave kiss, when Katniss first realizes that she does not want to lose the boy with the bread, mirrors the kiss in 2 with Gale, in which she realizes Peeta will never come back or she’ll never return and she’ll go to the Capitol to die, and he’ll die hating her… all while Gale is actively kissing her neck. And because nothing matters anymore she kisses him back:

“Gale’s touch and taste and heat remind me that at least my body’s still alive, and for the moment it’s a welcome feeling. I empty my mind and let the sensations run through my flesh, happy to lose myself.”

They then tell me that Katniss only feels arousal 2-3 times in the book (whereas I believe it's more, but they're feelings that aren't worth mentioning because those feelings aren't important, but there's hints in the narrative of her desire for Peeta, often in bed) and that what she felt while Gale was touching her wasn't arousal. I say let's agree to disagree, and then they @ me TWO more times to continue to tell me I'm wrong and the bit about SC. So they're blocked, which I have never done before, beside porn bots.

PSA for the folks that don't know this because they haven't experienced these yet:

There's a difference between sexual arousal from physical stimulation, being sexually attracted to a person, and being with someone you're in love with.

You can, in fact, be aroused by someone you're not at all attracted to, it's a physical response to stimuli. Even rape victims have felt sexual arousal, which is totally normal, though generally leaves them with a sense of shame and horror. So yes, Katniss was aroused, but not actually attracted to Gale. Again, this provides contrast to what she feels with Peeta!

"I kissed Peeta about a thousand times during those Games and after. But there was only one kiss that made me feel something stir deep inside. Only one that made me want more. But my head wound started bleeding and he made me lie down. This time, there is nothing but us to interrupt us. And after a few attempts, Peeta gives up on talking. The sensation inside me grows warmer and spreads out from my chest, down through my body, out along my arms and legs, to the tips of my being."

When she's referring to how she feels with Gale it's described physically and she uses the word "flesh". What she feels with Peeta is far far more than sexual arousal. She's not saying she's horny. Katniss feels this in her soul: "to the tips of my being".

You don't have to agree with me, but if you're going to come at me with half baked theories at least back it up with textual evidence, and not like throw some bullshit at me. Stop projecting your own shit on these characters and then calling it #cannon!!

Essers Tafeln/ Juristen fabrizieren

Juristen fabrizieren und sie werden fabriziert. Cornelia Vismanns Geschichte und Theorie juridischer Kulturtechnik ist auch Geschichte und Theorie des Institutierens. Darin ist Institution nicht gegebene Macht. Auch wenn sie mit Vermögen und Gabe einhergeht liegt sie in artifiziellen, technischen Verfahren oder Routinen. Ich ziehe den Begriff des Instituierens dem Begriff der institutionellen Macht vor, weil mir dieser Begriff meine Fragen an Kulturtechniken schärfen lässt und mir besser beobachten lässt, was unterhalb der Schwelle des Rechts liegt und dennoch dabei kooperiert, Recht wahrzunehmen.

Das sind zum Beispiel Tafeln, denen ich öfters nachgehe - und auch in meinen Antrittsvorlesung am Beispiel eines Lehrbuches (also einer Institution) von Hermann Jahrreiß aus dem Jahr 1930 nachgegangen bin. Das oben abgebildete Beispiel stammt, wie die hier auf dem tumblr schon gezeigten Tabellen auf dem Geschäftsbuch meines Vaters (der damals im ersten Semester Jura in Mainz studiert), aus dem Jahr 1949, hier aus dem Lehrbuch von Josef Esser zu den Grundbegriffen, zu dem Susanne Paas, Ralf Seinicke und Florian Forster ebenfalls forschen.

Mich interessieren hier seine Tafeln und Tabellen. Wie Warburg, so hat auch Esser eine Vorstellung davon, dass die Wahrnehmung des Rechts polarisiert sei; wie Eduardo Viveiros de Castro in der kannibalischen Metaphysik, dass also diese Wahrnehmung auch irisiert sein kann (denn die Irisierung faltet in den Spektralfarben die Polarisierung auf). Wie Warburg und wie de Castro: das ist ein kleiner Vergleich, der etwas zu einer Berühung im Detail sagt. Viel sagt das nicht, aber ein Detail ist es, damit etwas, in dem nach Stolleis alles anders sein soll und in dem nach Aby Warburg der liebe Gott stecken soll.

Esser denkt Polarisierung im Detail auch als Normalisierung, das ist gar nicht schlecht gedacht, weil damit auch das Normale schon als polarisiert gedacht werden kann und Polarisierung nicht einfach als Spalterei erscheint, also etwa nach dem Muster, dass in eine Streit der andere immer der ist, der polarisiert. Mit einem Detail liefert Esser hier einen Beitrag zur Geschichte und Theorie polaren Rechts, das aber, nicht wie bei Warburg oder de Castro, unbeständig ist, sondern durch die Normalisierung auch beständig wird.

Boaventura de Sousa Santos wird in Brasilien einer der Anthropfagen, die Esser gefressen haben und verdauen. In seinem berühmten Text zu Pasargada erwähnt er den Tübinger, was mich erst erstaunt hat. Esser hat aber in dem Buch von 1949 in kurzen Hinweisen zur Multidisziplinarität neben der Psychologie auch die Anthropologie als eine der Disziplinen genannt, die der Rechtswissenschaft fruchtbar sein, sagen wir so: sie speisen kann. Darum ist es nicht so verwunderlich. Die Tafel, die er in seinem Buch als Abbildung 1 verwendet assoziiert ein Wissen der Optik mit dem der Psychologie, der Anthropologie und der Rechtswissenschaft, um ein Schema und ein Modell zu formen. Man kann dieses Modell mit anderen vergleichen, etwas mit denen Merleau-Pontys und Jacques Lacan, deren Tafeln in der Bild-und Rechtswissenschaft auch eine Vorstellung von Dogmatik und Instituierung geben soll, dazu wesentlich häufiger kommentiert wurden.

Esser nennt in den dichten Erläuterungen das Rechtsbewußtsein einen Spiegel der Rechtsidee. Die gespiegelte Idee wurde von rechtsbildenden Organen, die insofern auch als bildgebende Organe erscheinen, gesammelt, gebündelt und durch Gitterstäbe (nach Cornelia Vismann sind das Cancellierungen; nach Alberti wäre das ein Velum) polarisiert.

18/60 Days of Productivity (because I got shit to do before September) | 22/07/24

At this rate I will not be done with the things before September, strictly, but anything early in September should not be too bad, truly. Also, come next month I'll have much more time to focus on academic work!

On this particular day I got a text in the morning whether I could cover a colleague's shift that night, which means my day of inspirational coffee shop hopping was cut short to force myself to sleep/doze in the afternoon and evening.

💪:

Some important emails (so much of my productivity lately is mainly backstage things like ... thinking. emailing. pondering. bureaucracy. oof!)

For the article: made progress with Slime - A Natural History (Susanne Wedlich) and “Commodified Evil’s Wayward Children” (Jason Forster)

✨:

Reading for fun (pictured). So far it is nice, but also very much German Literary Fiction Written By a Straight Man, which obviously is much different to German literary fiction written by a straight man and which encapsulates some of my favorite books.

Wir sucken dick. Heehee.

Practiced chess & go.

Lisbeth Zwerger / text by Susanne Koppe

North-South Books 1994

Here is the last of my Lisbeth Zwerger books. It also happens to be one the most unusually designed books I own. The book itself has a printed stiff cardboard cover. Over that is a black, thick kind of corrugated cardboard material with a window cut out of it. On top of that is a clear printed glassine jacket. Then the interior has these occasional framing pages with boxes cut out of them that highlight certain aspects of the art. And these framing pages are so ingeniously designed that they work for the art on the verso as well. Zwerger’s art, of course, is spectacular, and this book rightfully places her among the very best illustrators alive.

8, 9, 11, 20?

8- When did you hear of them for the first time and what was your impression?

I'm sure I heard of him before this since at the very least he's mentioned in Les Mis a bunch, but the first I remember hearing of him was November of '22 when I read Candide and became absolutely insane over it (they should make more depressed 16yos read Candide). I honestly don't remember my first impression of Voltaire himself; I think I just decided that I loved whoever wrote Candide.

9- What is your favorite depiction of them?

Maybe a basic answer, but I have to go with the Largillière portrait from when V was around 30, it's just pretty lol

And here's a drawing from a 19th-century book of V getting the portrait painted while Susanne de Livry (the source of the "amant à la neige" quote and whom the portrait was for) is standing next to him/fixing his wig:

11- What is your favorite portrayal of them in fiction?

The only fictional portrayals I've consumed in full are A Visit from Voltaire by Dinah Lee Küng and Friedrich das Musical. The musical I couldn't understand seeing as it's in German, and AVFV is.. bad. really bad. It's the kind of thing you typically either a) keep on your anonymous Wattpad account, or b) burn. It's basically Küng's memoir about moving to Switzerland with her family, except the ghost of Voltaire is just. hanging out with her and giving her bad legal advice and stealing her computer to rewrite letters to his niece. So I guess my answer to this question is I don't really have one.

20- What is your favorite posession that relates to your favourite historical figure?

I have two for this one lol. First, a 1775 copy of Histoire de la Russie sous Pierre le Grand (part of the 1775 Œuvres Complètes that was published in Geneva) , which is just beautiful. I love the marble endpages and the border around the text. I also love how thick the paper is, not only because it's probably how it's held up so long, but also it's just such a nicer texture. #bringback18thCstylebookmaking2k24

Second is this illustrated edition of Zadig:

Thanks for the ask!! (and sorry this was so long 😬)

Top 5 hockey poetry posts

You're having me grade my own work?

As a general rule, my favourite edits are the ones where I tried something new & didn't think it would really work but then it DID.

Regarding the Pain of Others, Susanne Sontag This one isn't based on a poem at all. I just took a bunch of quotes I liked out of context and tried to fit them together in a way that made sense. I didn't really plan on posting it, but it turned out much better than expected so I did. The Sontag essay is awesome, but I will admit that I took Some Liberties w the text.

October, Louise Glück This was supposed to be 4 separate poems, but I discovered I had enough photos to make it into one long one. Again, didn't think it would work but it did. Probably the poem I feel most strongly about because it's the players I feel most strongly about.

Faithful and Virtuous Night, Louise Glück My first hockey poem and coincidentally a poem about the player who turned me into a hockey fan in the first place. If I could do this one again I would do it differently, but it's still cool to see how the style (& quality) of my edits has developed since this first one.

Landscape, Louise Glück Okay so now that I'm listing them out like this there really are a disproportionate nr of Glück poems.. But ok. This one was fun because I tried to tell the story of Claude both through the poem and through the journey from darkness to light (and back to darkness) in pictures. There's so many good Claude photos and edits available that I needed an additional challenge to make it worth my while.

The Mourning Star, Scott-Patrick Mitchell I like this one because I made it for a friend. There are quite a lot of high res. pictures of Bruins boys in suits, but in order to make it work for a mafia au I had to figure out a way to add in the other elements of the story. I almost went with a shot from Batman instead of the city skyline (which is London, not Boston. I cropped out st. Pauls). Started out as a joke and then it took over my entire life for a bit. I still like the poem though.

DAY 2/100

Sat. 17 Sept.

Productivity:

- Readings: Algorithmic Governmentality and the Death of Politics. An interview with Antoinette Rouvroy (2020) Algorithmic Governmentality (social world based on algorithmic processing of data sets, not politics, social norms, or law) is about having control over uncertainty and reducing possible into probable, eliminating all risk. It is a claim that human rationale is able to grasp everything that is not human. Big data removes the idea of average and caters to the experiences of the individual. Hyper-individualism leads to hyper-surveillance. In the case of insurance; if a person's data indicates they are at risk of premature death (through tracking habits), their insurance may be canceled. Antoinette argues that there needs to be a reset in cultural values; the need to optimise everything all the time is leading to a bleak future, where people do not live in the present & concrete world. - Meeting: Discussion on how people perceive the world, the meaning of symbols, and how one can reshape the relationship with power structures by creating a relationship with the individuals behind it. Discussion of Susanne Langers symbol texts, and Jill Magid's artwork. - Analysed: Posthumanism, Transhumanism, Antihumanism, Metahumanism, and New Materialisms: Differences and Relations. (Francesca Ferrando, 2014.)

Differences between Post-Humanism & Transhumanism

Posthumanism is not hierarchical about differences

Link between Post-Humanism & Transhumanism: Technogenesis.

The inseparable bond of Humanity & Technology through the lenses of anthropology, ontology, and paleontology.

Posthumanism: Challenging traditional notions of humanity via the lenses of technological shifts, overcoming human primacy. Speciesism. Examines the Anthropocene.

Transhumanism: Transcending human limitations via technological & biological evolution. Understanding of humanity by looking at the future. Risk of techno-reductionism. "Humanity Plus" movement. Human-centric approach.

Antihumanism: Critiques the human-centric view of the world. Alternative ways of understanding humanity. Death of Man by Foucault. Urges to consider that humans also exist in the same ecosystem as other beings.

Metahumanism: Spirituality, mystical, holistic transformation of humanity.

New Materialism: Brings back the importance of materiality. Matter is seen as the process of materialization. Matter has agency & a role in shaping the world.
