tmagp episode 20 thoughts. no or not a lot of context but still read at your own peril

to be clear these are just things that are popping into my head as i listen, not a particularly well-thought-out analysis

index of these posts

2:30 instantly i'm hit with the difference between this and when gwen tried to confide in sam and alice fff

3:55 "you know that case i got yesterday?" yeah man that was last week for me and i'm still kinda fucked up about it

4:15 celia Wants To Hear This. i want to know what she's up to so bad lmao

5:20 "that's why i've been trying so hard to protect you" vs "because i'm scared, martin"

7:15 sam's "what" here

7:30 : ) tell me more about these catastrophic world endingly bad things celia

8:15 there is a wasp's nest in my attic

10:30 OH VERY INTERESTING

11:20 "i wanted to be seen", is what they mean. much to think about

14:50 lots of new names in this one

17:30 man. this PERSON

18:55 "small inheritance" but you don't need to worry about money which tells me something else about you than i think you meant to tell me

20:40 this is another one that has me reading ahead in the transcript

20:55 "keeping canvases still" ah, i see

22:25 this one i feel like is much more 'classic' in its mechanism. the fear is what they're after

25:55 OOF

i have a kofi if you like this and want to help me keep doing it

[spurgie-cousin]

I’ve noticed that Robyn wears expensive jewelry, and she and kody have matching rings. And I have a lot of canvases and frames in my house or so I thought but robyn and kodys house , like literally every inch has art! My stuff is 50 bucks mostly everything is under 100 but theirs I doubt is less than 100. I wonder if kody and robyn are going to be broke now that they don’t have the other wives money coming in.

I'm pretty sure I've made a post about their 'interesting' art collection before, and if I can find it I'll reblog it, but yea a lot of their art is worth thousands of dollars (they buy a lot from one particular artist who does a lot of Mormon-y stuff). I've honestly never noticed any jewelry in Robyn that looked super expensive, but every time internet sleuths look up a ring or necklace one of them is seen wearing it's always over $500 if not in the thousands, so it wouldn't surprise me.

In the last episode of the show, Kody was selling 3 of his cars that I don't think he'd planned to sell bc months earlier bc he was talking about building a big garage for all his cars and toys he "didn't use much". He also planned to build an apartment above it which he offered to Meri, which tells you a lot about where he stood with her lol.

But yea Meri, Janelle, and even Christine towards the end were really making good money and Robyn and Kody were not, so I imagine they'll be down sizing a LOT in the near future. Meri and Janelle's names are still on the land they bought in Arizona, so they're probably stuck funneling money into that until it's paid off, but I'm pretty sure all the other assets that remain are just in Kody and Robyn's name.

I honestly believe that was the reason Kody wouldn't ever break up with any of them himself, because per Janelle he has always been financially unstable yet had a champagne taste. He says it's because of their religion he didn't leave any of them first, but I think that's a convenient cop out bc Meri and Janelle's money funded his entire life.

He Fought At Little Big Horn And A Cincinnati Artist Made His Face Famous

In Cincinnati, everybody called him Joe, mostly. Or Indian Joe if they needed to distinguish him from all the other Joes wandering around the Queen City. He wasn’t young when he arrived in town, at least 70 years old, though he stood straight and tall. He was muscular enough to wrestle a bear onstage at the Kohl & Middleton Dime Museum on Vine Street.

That’s where Henry Farny found him. Farny was a famous artist, renowned for his paintings depicting life among the Native American tribes of the Old West. He sold canvases as fast as he could turn them out and might have been wealthy if he hadn’t been so focused on giving away his money. A memorial after Farny’s death [Enquirer 31 December 1916] summed up the artist’s well-known generosity:

“Anybody down and out had a friend in Farny. It was always the under dog, the one whose strength and fortune were less happy than others, that Farny’s broad mind and heart would give assistance to.”

Farny had made several trips out west, capturing the last fading echoes of the life surrendered by Native Americans under the onslaught of European expansion. His friends claimed Farny was fluent in the Sioux language, but he was at least proficient enough to understand simple conversations. One evening, Farny and fellow artist Martin Rettig attended a show at a local theater. On stage, a family of Sioux performed traditional dances and demonstrated their skill at various crafts. When the father of the family stood to give a speech, Farny leaped out of his seat in outrage. Farny gathered that the Sioux family had a complaint against the government and the unscrupulous manager assured them he would see that they got an audience with the U.S. President. In preparation for the presidential visit, the manager told the family they needed to attend several “receptions” at a series of vaudeville theaters along the way. Farny heard the Father say he was tired of these receptions and would he ever see the President? On Farny’s insistence, the family was given passage home and their “manager” split town.

When Farny saw Indian Joe wrestling that bear for another shady impresario, he got Joe out of that contract and into a job as janitor at the Cincinnati Art Club on Fourth Street. In those days, a janitor was not only a custodian and cleaner, but also what we would call a building superintendent today. The Art Club offered generous flextime and Joe could take off for weeks at a time if a decent vaudeville gig came around.

Farny also learned Joe’s real name, or at least the English translation of it. He was Chief Ogallala Fire, and there hangs a tale. Ogallala Fire was born sometime around 1826 and spent most of his life fighting white settlers encroaching on Sioux lands. According to the Chicago Tribune [3 January 1916]:

“In the days of Indian warfare, Chief Ogallala Fire was known as one of the bravest warriors of the Sioux. History relates that he led his warriors in many raids on white settlements in Wyoming and once defied a detachment of United States soldiers who trapped him in the mountains for two months [until he] finally escaped.”

Ogallala Fire was almost 50 when General George Armstrong Custer led an army against the Sioux in 1876. The expedition ended with Custer and his entire battalion slaughtered at Little Big Horn. Ogallala Fire spent the rest of his life not only claiming participation in that battle, but that he himself had killed Custer in hand-to-hand combat. He certainly had battle scars consistent with a life as a warrior. According to the Chicago Tribune:

“In ‘Custer’s Last Fight’ Chief Ogallala Fire received two bullets, was slashed across the head with a saber in the hands of an officer, and was pinned to the ground from a bayonet thrust through his shoulder by a soldier.”

After that battle, Chief Ogallala Fire resigned himself to life on a reservation and might have stayed there the rest of his life had not show business come calling. Charles A. Eastman, an American Indian physician known as Ohiyesa among the Dakota Sioux, recalled meeting Ogallala Fire:

“In 1892, I scarcely believed that he would ever leave the reservation, but in his latter days he was caught by the white man's vices, the love of money and the desire for ‘fire-water,’ coupled with the old habit of wandering. He traveled in this country and abroad with Buffalo Bill.”

After a triumphal engagement at the Chicago World’s Fair, Ogallala Fire hit the road with Buffalo Bill and other Wild West shows, eventually settling into the bear-wrestling act that brought him to Cincinnati. Whether his thirst for liquor was any stronger than the average Cincinnatian is a matter of dispute, but Ogallala Fire was occasionally arrested for public drunkenness here. He was also arrested frequently just because the police were looking for someone who looked like an Indian and he fit the bill. This harassment repeated so often that Farny, weary of getting his innocent friend released, fired off a testy note to the mayor.

One day, when Ogallala Fire had been on the road with one of the Wild West shows, Farny hosted several friends in his studio. They heard some strange chanting rising from the nearby stairwell. According to the Enquirer [31 December 1916]:

“Farny, after listening for a few seconds, with sparkling eyes, grabbed a tom-tom, and, beckoning his friends to follow him, began to dance in true Sioux fashion around the large studio, all the time beating the tom-tom. The music outside grew stronger and stronger until the door was swung wide open and an Indian appeared beautifully garbed. He leaped into the room and dancing like mad with occasional shrieks of joy thus expressed his delight over his reception. It was Joe, as the tribe called him, ‘Ogallala Fire,’ the old favorite Sioux model of Farny’s whom he had not seen then for a long time. Farny was indeed glad to have him again, a fact accentuated by the gold piece he bestowed upon him immediately.”

Farny painted multiple portraits of Ogallala Fire and incorporated his likeness into dozens of other paintings. Other Cincinnati artists including John Hauser also employed him as a model. As the Wild West shows faded in popularity, Ogallala Fire found work in the nascent motion picture industry, appearing in several early silent films.

It was the Chicago Feature Film Company, shooting an “oater’ with b-list actress Lily Branscomb that brought Ogallala Fire to Chicago around 1914. He ended up staying there at the home of a granddaughter. One day, after a long illness, he asked for a razor and sliced his throat. Despite medical intervention Ogallala Fire died, aged 90, a week later. The old chief once told Charles A. Eastman/Ohiyesa:

“Friend, I have engaged in more than 100 battles, but never have I been bewildered except when I entered a city of the white man. There my spirit is lonesome, as it never was on the uninhabited prairie. The people seem to me more like bears and wolves.”

Research on Artsits

Week 1:

Army Of Trolls:

Armt of trolls is the portfolio of london born, videogame obsessed artist Gary J Lucken. Working from his Studio in Poole, Dorset, UK, surrounded by Japanese toys and piles of old 2D videogames.

There is a lot going on in their work and it is very crowded they use shadows and gradient to make the photo look 3D and they don't use black outlines

They also use an isometric view point for their work.

Octavi Navarro / Pixels huh:

They develop approachable, narrative video games crafted with tons of love

Octavi Navarro is a pixel artist and developer who worked on games like Thimbleweed Park and Photographs.

Susanna Granell takes care of the studio's business side, social media, and writing. She loves coffee.

Their most distinctive feature is our unique visual style, combined with original and risky narrative stories that resonate with players.

Octavi uses layering, shadows and gradient to give a perspective of looking underneath the ground or a race track. They also use no black outlines on their work

Derek Yu-Spelunky:

Yu has designed and co-designed several award-winning games, most famously Spelunky, Aquaria, and Eternal Daughter.He is also notable as a blogger and custodian of the influential TIGSource blog/community about independent video games.

Speluncky is a 2008 2D platform game The player has to explore and dodge traps as they progress.

Most of these games are from the 90s and early 2000s. 3d graphics were still crude and before indie game developers truly picked up the mantle.

Derek uses some black outlines however not everything is outlined in black and instead is a gradient of what the colour of the object is

Batman (Famicom/NES). Sunsoft, 1990.

Johan Vinet:

They worked on game Animations for Adventure time and Flinthook.

They learned pixel art on an Atari 1040STF with 16 colors.

Castaway is a family friendly, short and charming action-adventure game.

"Embark on an action-packed adventure in Castaway, diving players into a pixelated and retro universe. Assume the role of Martin, whose spaceship crash-landed on an uncharted island where his faithful pet was taken by hostile creatures. Retrieve your weapons and venture out to rescue your kidnapped companion in this endearing and unexpectedly dynamic world. Beat the 3 bosses in the concise and delightful "Story Mode" to unlock the thrilling and addictive "Survivor Mode." Ascend a 50-floor tower, with each level presenting increasingly challenging trials!"

Johan uses black outlines on all their objects and characters, they use power ups and their game cast away is like an escape and fight game.

Week 2:

Michael Myers:

They use low resolution canvases to construct his characters and objects and shows that they are still recognizable without a black outline.

He also makes it seem easy to create something on 8 bit when he still is able to make it look great.

Don Bluth:

Don uses a sketch to begin with and then once he is happy with his design he then goes over it in thicker pencil. He also uses a lot of curves and not a lot of straight lines.

don uses lines to begin working on his character to make sure it is aligned.

Mary Blair:

Mary uses plain colours and adds to them as she creates her character. she worked on many films like peter pan and cinderella and would create the shape and colour design for them.

Mary created children's books with her art work. she used a lot of different colours and used them to make her characters and the area around them more vibrant and stand out.

Mary even created the colour scheme for the new attraction "its a small world" .

Super Meat Boy:

I like the use of the caves in the hell stage and the design of all the levels, the designers for this game used black outlines for their characters and their characters were very similar and didn't contain too much detail.

most of their characters would be solid block colours and still look very good, as the levels where built around the characters design, the levels worked well.

Castle Crashers:

The game designers designed the characters to look like knights to fit the theme of knights fighting enemies. I like the character design as its not too detailed but it used more than one main colour.

This game uses a black outline for their characters as well as using a coloured outline after the black outline.

Minit:

The game uses only two colours for the background and all the characters all the characters use a pallet of light grey and white to give them definition. I like how the character designers use just white and black as it shows a good game can be created without using loads of different colours

The game also uses in game dialogue to show the story of the game to the player.

"Dumb" patterns (and that's not meant to be a criticism): crosshatching, dashes, and plain foliage pattern from a roller. Johns uses a set of internal rules--the pattern changes on the horizontal boundaries, and is mirrored on the vertical boundary--to create a sort of visual puzzle. John M. Miller's perfect arrangement of short, broken lines contains unexpected alignments and rhythms, depending on how you scan the pattern. Christopher Wool's only constraint is the width of the roller he used to apply his black enamel paint; the canvas is a few inches too wide and tall to contain the image, so he fills in and allows the imperfections to become the central motif.
