"The acting technique known as "the Method" asks actors to imagine themselves in the same situations as their characters, and call up the personal emotions associated with being in those situations. Method acting can elicit brilliant performances, but can sometimes harm an actor's well-being if proper care isn't taken to maintain boundaries between actor and character, especially while performing challenging or complicated roles. To make Major Kira an authentic character, and honor the people who experienced harm at the hands of oppressors, instead of trivializing the real-world parallels in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Nana Visitor inhabited the character of Major Kira Nerys this way."

"Whether we start with a story or with a character, let's face it -- we writers of fiction are alike in one way. We're a mighty strange breed. We view the world differently. We walk around with voices and shadowy figures in our heads. We tend to stare out windows, mumble to ourselves. The Normals can't begin to understand us. Only our first cousins, the actors, can come close to matching our eccentricities. For we share the same goal: bringing characters to life."
*~*~* Brandilyn Collins, Getting Into Character: Seven Secrets a Novelist Can Learn From Actors.
I highly recommend this book for all writers. You can find cheap, readable copies on eBay and AbeBooks.

The math just adds up!
#dungeon meshi#falin touden#marcille donato#farcille#I always loved how chapter 27 ends with them both so bloody and 28 starts with them in the bath.#not just because of how iconic the bathtub moment is but because you know they had to scrap off so much gore first.#I think everyone in the party took a very long and methodical bath but Falin was basically *all* blood*.#Being covered in blood is one of those 'just girly things' that women deserve to stop being shamed about.#I just don't think Chilchuck is progressive enough. He probably made them take a bath first B*/#Okay jestering aside I want to just highlight -#The magnitude of Marcille's joy at seeing her dearest friend again! Of holding her and sharing her presence in the same room!#Something about this reunion feels like a beautiful dream you are afraid of waking up from...

The Nine Rings: A Systematic Record
1. The Root Ring (Oak of Beginnings):
Forged in the shadow of an ancient oak, this ring embodies the genesis of all things. Its surface, etched with patterns of roots and leaves, speaks of growth, endurance, and the primal connection to the earth. It was said to be worn by the one who first stood watch on the hill, a sentinel against chaos. Its magic strengthens resilience, yet it also binds its bearer to a destiny of guardianship. The root ring often migrates in tales, claimed to flow downstream, its essence carried by rivers, confusing later seekers who stumble upon it unwittingly.
2. The Flowing Ring (Rivers of Time):
Fashioned from the mirror-like water of a sacred river, this ring is fluid in its essence, almost alive. Its inscription is said to change with the current of time, revealing secrets to those who learn to listen. It guards the wisdom of flow—adaptation, patience, and inevitability. Legends place this ring in the hands of river spirits or naiads, always just out of reach of the unworthy. Frazer might call it the ring of rites, while Tolkien might lament its ambiguity.
3. The Stalwart Ring (Peaks of Strife):
Carved from the granite of a thunderous mountain, this ring is jagged yet impossibly strong, a symbol of trials and tribulation. It demands its wearer to climb higher, to withstand storms both external and internal. It is often passed down in songs of warriors and pilgrims, appearing on mountaintops wreathed in lightning. Propp might identify it as an artifact of ascension motifs, while Pound would see in it a Cantos-like purity of endurance.
4. The Verdant Ring (Meadows of Transformation):
Wrought of green-gold and adorned with small flowers that seem to bloom when the sun rises, this ring embodies the eternal potential of renewal. It is said to grant the bearer visions of what could be, urging them to reshape their lives, often at great cost. Hidden in open meadows or fields of wildflowers, its position in myths reflects a paradox—what is visible can often remain unseen. Andrei Bely might liken it to an ineffable symbol of renewal, a distant echo of spring.
5. The Regal Ring (Fortress of Shadows):
Forged in the hearth of a castle long since turned to ruin, this ring is the most intricate, adorned with sharp spires and subtle engravings of labyrinthine corridors. It is a ring of power and authority, but also of imprisonment, for its bearer often succumbs to the very weight of leadership it bestows. Tolkien might suspect it was a cousin to the Rings of Men, while Eisenstein might dream of a visual montage of light and shadow to capture its paradox.
6. The Wild Ring (Forest of Fears):
Fashioned in a glade no human eyes were meant to see, this ring is wild and untamed, with its band resembling tangled vines. Its bearer must navigate the dangers of the subconscious, as it brings dreams and terrors into vivid clarity. Some say wolves and other creatures guide those seeking it, while others claim the forest’s shadows devour the foolhardy. Frazer would undoubtedly locate this in the mythos of the hunt, while Pound might sense the cold clarity of primal experience.
7. The Hidden Ring (Vault of Secrets):
Set deep within a subterranean cavern, this ring reflects the mystery of the unknown. It glimmers faintly, as if capturing the final light of a setting sun. Legends call it the ring of forbidden knowledge, granting its bearer insight into truths often too dangerous to wield. Propp would link it to the “test of wisdom,” while Bely might see in its depths a reflection of a character’s fractured soul.
8. The Burning Ring (Sands of Trial):
Forged in the heat of the desert sun, this ring bears the scars of scorching winds and shifting sands. Its surface is textured with grains of gold, and its power is said to lie in perseverance and survival against insurmountable odds. The sands move around it, as if guarding it from all but the most determined. Eisenstein might stage its recovery in sweeping, desolate frames, while Tolkien might marvel at its harsh beauty.
9. The Abyssal Ring (Ocean’s Cradle):
This ring, formed of coral and pearls, lies beneath the waves, where the tides conceal its secrets. It is a ring of immense depth, granting its bearer an understanding of the endless cycle of loss and renewal. Legends say that it sings faintly, luring seekers into its watery domain. Frazer might call it a relic of water deities, while Pound would write of it as an inexorable pull toward rebirth.
Uncertain Destinies of the Rings
No one truly knows whether the rings’ powers are independent or whether they echo one another, their fates entwined. A scholar like Tolkien might confuse their locations, much as history has, because each ring seems to contain a fragment of the others—a unity fractured across landscapes. Propp would note this as the “splintering of a magical whole,” while Bely might muse on the fractal beauty of such dispersal. Pound, ever a poet of lost connections, might sigh and invoke Confucius: “When the threads are scattered, we weave.”
It remains unclear if the letters describing these artifacts reached their intended recipients or were lost, much like the rings themselves. What remains is their echo—woven into the myths of time and waiting, always waiting, for rediscovery.

idk man. i just think itd be really cool if sign language classes were mandatory throughout primary school. yeah because it would make communication with deaf kids and autistic/nonverbal kids much easier. and those kids would be accessible to the others so they could make friends and have healthy relationships. yeah. and kids would eat that shit up man. like their own little secret language? they love that.
#ace writes#autism#nonverbal#deaf#deafawareness#sign language#no yeah i just think it would be good#btw I am a semi nonverbal autistic person that knows a couple of simple signs#but would like to pursue it further as a good method of communication for me#just so ya know :}

The series centers on Rodion Meglin (Konstantin Khabensky), a highest level investigator of the Russian police who is also a sanctioned vigilante, hunting down the criminally insane who slip through the cracks of an ill-suited justice system. He’s used to working alone, never revealing the secrets of his method. A young law school graduate, Esenia Steklova (Paulina Andreeva), is assigned to the department of the Investigative Committee where Meglin serves, becoming his trainee.
What I like about this series is that the characters are based on real serial killers.
For example
Anatoly Slivko (28 December 1938 – 16 September 1989) was a Soviet serial killer and necrophile who sexually assaulted, murdered, and mutilated seven boys in and around Nevinnomyssk, Stavropol Krai, Russian SFSR, between 1964 and 1985. He is also known to have sexually assaulted at least 36 other victims.
Gennady Mikhasevich (7 April 1947 – 25 September 1987) was a prolific Soviet serial killer. He murdered at least 36 women during the period from 1971 to 1985.
Vasiliy Kulik (17 January 1956 – 26 June 1989) was a Soviet serial killer convicted for the killing of 13 people and nearly 30 rapes in Irkutsk between 1984 and 1986.
Kulik was executed by firing squad in 1989.
Anatoly Moskvin (born 1 September 1966) is a Russian former linguist, philologist, and historian who was arrested in 2011 after the mummified bodies of twenty-six girls and women between the ages of 3 and 29 were discovered in his apartment in Nizhny Novgorod. After exhuming the bodies from local cemeteries, Moskvin mummified the bodies himself before dressing and posing them around his home. Moskvin's parents, who shared the apartment with him, knew of the mummies but mistook them for large dolls.
A psychiatric evaluation determined that Moskvin had a form of paranoid schizophrenia. In May 2012, he was sentenced to court-ordered psychiatric evaluation and has since been held in a psychiatric hospital.

#TO CLARIFY ON THE SECOND POINT: VAMPIRES *HAVE* A REPRODUCTION METHOD THAT IS NOT SEX-BASED#THAT IS THE MAJOR POINT OF THAT ONE. THAT VAMP REPRODUCTION IS BASED ON CONVERTING INTO UNDEAD AND NOT PREGNANCY#what i think i keep coming back to is that a vampire is like. a form of pathogen or perhaps parasite#is the individual vampire meaningfully distinct from that? maybe#sort of a made up question#but that’s not a mammal#so neither is a vampire#but also like. a human is a mammal#this question sponsored by my friend who said she was done keeping mammals bc ‘they have so much fluid in them’#and my thought that a vampire Wouldn’t#not a lot of fluids. happening there

You know that Chris Fleming line that goes "Call yourself a community organizer even though you're not on speaking terms with your roommates"?
I honestly think every leftist who talks about the "revolution" like Christians talk about the rapture needs to spend a year trying to organize their workplace. Anyone who sincerely talks about building a movement so vast and all-encompassing that it overwhelms all existing power structures needs the dose of humility that comes with realizing they can't even build a movement to get people paid better at a badly run AMC Theaters where everyone already hates the manager.
#method speaks#union stuff#politics#i guess#best case scenario in this plan we get some successful union drives#worst case people realize that movement building is hard#and also explicitly mentioning socialism is counterproductive#mostly i'm just venting#it's only april how is election discourse this unhinged already?
