I meant to post this yesterday.

I got a late Christmas present! Thank you @octopunkmedia, Michelle, Austin, Maximilian and Chris, and everyone else involved in making this film. Thank you to the fan base for being so supportive and awesomely creative. I love you all!

And thanks to whichever blog(s) I follow who kept posting gifs and pictures until I was like "Fine! I'll watch the movie!". You've changed my life. Now whenever someone asks for movie recommendations, I'm like "Everything from Octopunk Media".

Seven Deadly Synths Deleted Scene

Seth (Maximilian Koger), Mag (Tiare Solis ) and Jared (Graham Edwards)

[octopunkmedia]

One year ago, with Detroit Evolution stars Maximilian Koger, Tiare Solis, and Michael Smallwood, we shot a queer comedy short film called Seven Deadly Synths.

It's been a strange and awkward road since then - we finished the film and sent it to a couple festivals. We had full intention of sharing it with Patrons last fall, and that by now, the public would have it too.

But things happen. Not only was Detroit Evolution all consuming of my time, which prevented me from adding in some desired changes for web release, but we also were put in the unfortunate circumstance of having a film starring another actor we no longer wished to support or platform (and we don't have the money to reshoot it with Christopher Plummer).

Now that I finally have time to fix these issues with elegant and clever solutions, as I said in January, Seven Deadly Synths will finally come to the web this August. Back then, the plan was for it to be a Patreon exclusive at first.

But today I can announce that Synths will actually be coming to the public, on YOUTUBE, in August.

We live in a world where film festivals and public screenings are not guaranteed anymore, and actors - who are out of work and constantly having the releases delayed for projects they poured their hearts into - deserve to have something to share this year.

We hope you look forward to our fun, wild, queer, comedy fantasy short film about synthesizers and revenge coming to everyone in just three months. ✌️🌈

Detroit Evolution Artfest Day 3 - College AU

“Is that... Gavin?”

Nines winced. “Drop it, Valerie.”

“He’s supposed to be working tonight, why’s he here?” she continued like he hadn’t said anything.

“Please.”

She frowned and lightly shoved his shoulder. “No, you’re both my friends, and he’s avoided this place for weeks because you like coming here. He had work tonight, but instead he’s here. Why is he here?”

“I don’t know,” he mumbled.

“Couldn’t be that he just wants to hang out,” Chris said dryly.

“Okay yeah, but it’s Gavin.”

“True.”

Nines groaned and lowered his head into his arms on the table. “I really don’t want to talk to him.”

Ada, who had been silent the entire time, finally spoke up. “Too late, he’s walking over now.”

“Shit.”

Detroit Evolution Commentary Pt. 3 [FINAL]

It’s been a while, sorry. Life sucks ass sometimes and I had to do some transferring to my new laptop. I’ll write down some more fun facts as an apology. Disclaimer: This is all stuff I noticed, inferred, or interpreted. I didn’t write the film, anything I’ve interpreted is just that, an interpretation based on things I noticed using my experiences and knowledge. 

Fun fact #1: I have attempted to write in a proper novel style at least five times. After watching DE and watching @octopunkmedia ‘s script breakdowns and such, I've started writing scripts instead. I’m much farther along in those than I ever have been in books. 10/10 amazing for my visual based concepts.

Fun fact #2: My mental health was rapidly declining and I was losing interest in quite literally everything at the time the film was released. Watching the film and fixating on it for a month straight not only inspired me but helped me regain control of my life. Watching streams by the cast and Michelle while I worked for school made my productivity skyrocket.

Fun fact #3: I recently developed a tic that I now can’t get rid of. It was out of control for about twenty minutes right before I began writing this post. However, when I began re-watching the film (partially because it’s a comfort for me and I’m quite honestly terrified of what’s happening in the US right now) it stopped. So that’s fun.

As usual, spoilers and swearing under the cut! Quick note: If there should be a trigger warning on this or anything else I post, please let me know! I’m horrible at remembering to tag triggers. I’ll also be doing some quick posts on Umbrella Academy and my severe obsession with Jason Todd soon. Have fun!

As usual, here’s a list of people I know the users of in case you’d like to check any of them out. I’m likely missing people so feel free to let me know who I’m missing so I can add them!

Maximilian Kroger - Nines (@ maximiliankroger)

Christopher (Chris) Trindade - Gavin (@ trindabago)

Michael Smallwood - Chris Miller (@ michaelsmallwoodforever)

Carla Kim - Tina Chen (@ carlahkim)

Jillian Geurts - Ada (@ jilbobaggins_nyc)

Michelle Iannantuono - (@ octopunkmedia)

JJ Goller - Lazzo (@ quasar.cos)

Brett Mullen - Cinematographer (@ brettmullendirector)

Austin Butts - Sound Design (@ austinbytts)

Tiare Solis - Valerie (@ tiareleiana)

So I decided to put all of the rest into this post. It’s a long one. Not even that sorry about it bc I love this film with my entire heart. Warning for me getting sidetracked. I use a lot of Supernatural references but it’s because I’m visiting my dad and he’s binge watching the show. I like Dean and only Dean, don’t bully me for it.

The Wrist Grip™️ in the bedroom before Nines moves back

Shoutout to Maximilian Kroger’s muscles u go dude

Lighting Symbolism™️, big theme through the movie, honestly I think it’s beautiful and they did a wonderful job with it.

The little nod from Gavin as he starts talking about his nightmare 

You can see Gavin gearing up to move, like not in a normal way, in a “oh god I don’t know if I have the energy to do this” way and that’s Relatable™️

The little smile from Nines as they sit together

The SHARK PLUSHIE I LOVE HIM (THE SHARK HAS AN INSTAGRAM @ sharktreuse)

Nines being domestic, making coffee and breakfast, being Soft.

Shirt change??? Either I’m blind or he’s wearing a different shirt in the morning (He is. He’s wearing a t shirt at night and a buttoned collar shirt in the morning. Perhaps he changed? He’s wearing normal pants so he probably changed but he’s not wearing that same shirt in the next scene)

Ada eye rolling at them being passive aggressive dumbasses. Same. Apparently Jillian kept fucking with them which is,, so valid. 

The lighting in this scene (the office pt. 2) makes Maximilian look Android-white and outlined in the CyberLife blue-ish color. Very symbolic, I have no idea if it was intentional.

Another shoutout, this time to Maximilian’s eyebrows, the expressiveness is *chef’s kiss*.

“You can thank me later, Casanova.” Nines: *confused Android noises* 

Honorable mention to Michael’s Foo Fighters t shirt in the bar, it’s vintage.

Nines is in fact wearing a different shirt now. Not the same shirt from the morning bedroom scene. I also think he’s wearing a different jacket. Less of a peacoat and more of a leather jacket. Nice.

Shoutout to Tina’s (not irl) wife, Valerie! And her weird crush on Hank! I honestly can’t wait to see her in Seven Deadly Synths!!

Ada DODGING the questions that Nines is asking because she is SHADY. 

Also, he looks to Gavin when he talks about wanting to be more human. Recurring theme of him perceiving himself as lacking because of his ace-ness/android-ness, like he can’t give Gavin what he wants. Honestly I know that the android thing is a thinly veiled metaphor for race in canon but I kinda like thinking of it as a metaphor for being LGBT+ and in Nines’ case, specifically ace. Might not make sense but it does in my brain??

Gavin Senses Are Tingling and Nines is GONE. Leaving the bar for ur not-bf to try to talk things out like adults??? King shit.

Also electric lighter, fun, I genuinely didn’t know those existed

SHIRT WITH UNBUTTONED COLLAR

“You don’t want to help me, you want to fix me.” What a loaded line. Because in a way, it’s almost true? Like, Nines has this entire simulation of Gavin in his ideal world, and obviously that version of Gavin has probably been idealized at least a bit. Nature of humanity, and Nines might not be human but he’s got the Brain Things. And at that moment, it’s nearly true that Nines wants Gavin to be like that ideal Gavin. Obviously Nines wants Gavin as Gavin, but there’s the edge of that simulation there, still. 

But Nines does want to help Gavin, and that’s where he’s wrong. Nines wants Gavin to get better, wants to help stop the nightmares, etc. But by pointing that out, I think it’s partially why Nines can accept letting go of Simulation!Gavin when Ada attacks him. Because he knows that the simulation of Gavin will never be the real Gavin, and this line sort of helps him understand that he can’t really keep Sim!Gavin anyways.

Again idk if that’s legit but that’s definitely something I felt from that while watching.

Nines is constantly very controlled, but when he walks away from Gavin you can see him straining to keep that composure and not let his anger show. 

Ada looking So Done With This Shit when Nines comes back from talking with Gavin outside of the bar

“I’m sure this will be like...every other time.” Oh honey. Oh my sweet child. I am so very sorry. It most definitely will not be.

Ada’s exasperated Eyebrow Raise before taking a drink. If that ain’t the mood sis.

I love Ada’s bat wings on her outfits. 

Gavin being a stalker and putting his hood up. 

“I’m...certain that most of the credit can go to you.” IMMEDIATE ANGER. Must Defend Boyfriend.

I SO WANTED HIM TO SAY “WISDOM” WHILE TALKING ABOUT GAVIN’S SKILLS BECAUSE IT WOULD MIRROR HIM TELLING GAVIN THAT HE ISN’T WISE BEFORE THEY LEFT FOR THE STAKEOUT. He didn’t, but instinct is a better word for Gavin anyways.

Nines has Suspicion™️...press X for doubt... 

*Only vaguely related rant warning*

I do feel that we as a fandom tend to make Connor almost childishly innocent despite him being likely one of the least kind and least innocent characters. The characterization of Nines in this--and pardon me for the off topic rant--where he’s a fully grown man and acts like it is so much more realistic. Nines is a cop, as is Connor. 

Even post deviancy, they were designed and equipped to handle murder. Nines, in a lot of fandom content, tends to come off as an exasperated older brother or a gritty and mean detective, or even worse, essentially a sociopath who feels nothing in contrast to Connor’s childish and extreme innocence. I dislike both. Seeing Nines be a normal fucking person is so relieving, I’m serious. There’s still those elements of ‘oh he’s only been properly alive for like a year, right? He probably doesn’t get Chris’ Casanova reference.’ but it’s not to such an extreme that it overtakes all of his personality traits.

Like, yeah, ok, I get why a lot of fandom content does that. In order to balance what we see Connor do (and in order to further push the Hank as a father line) we over-emphasize the not getting references and such. Honestly I see the same in content for Castiel from Supernatural. Nines, when he’s added, often HAS to be a lot darker in order to make that seem not as jarring and unrealistic.

Doesn’t mean I enjoy it. If you do? That’s great, good for you, but I don’t like seeing those characters be portrayed as such one dimensional extremes. People aren’t like that. On the off chance that someone is such an extreme, there’s still other aspects of their personality.

DE has done an amazing job at not flattening their personalities. Nines and Gavin are three-dimensional and incredibly interesting characters I find myself invested in every time I watch it.

*Onto the commentary again.*

Gavin is still being a stalker

“Particular fascination with the RK line” AHAHA funny. She’s also an RK, and she likely knows more than Nines because her programming is based on information gathering. Her fascination begins and ends with what their programming can do for her.

The little computer details in Ada’s eyes as she copies Nines’ OS, and again in Nines’ eyes when he’s in the alley alone. I believe Michelle did all of that and I am just amazed every time I watch. 

The warped voice effect.

Gavin shifting to hold Nines as soon as he passes out

The ethereal colored lighting is very good for the mood, space hospital vibes

Shoutout to the latex suit they put Maximilian in! That’s not CG! He’s wearing a full body white latex suit. I’m so sorry.

Gavin looks so tired talking to Dr. Maria. His posture is defensive, pulled into himself. Shoulders hunched, arms pulled in. Eye bags, messy hair. Boy looked messed up. Somebody hug him.

Nines’ hair being disheveled and messy in the corrupted Zen Garden, rivaling his assertion that in his ideal world (Aka the normal Zen Garden) his appearance is polished, signifying the loss of control and the loss of the Zen Garden being a safe, ideal space for him. Same concept with Sim!Gavin being corrupted.

Nines: *wakes up in his mindspace*

Also Nines, immediately: GAVIN!!1!!1

Nines believes in CONSENT!! You do not go into someone’s program without asking, ADA.

Ada’s “poor widdle baby” face as Nines is freaking out because she trapped him. Mood.

Tina wearing a low turtleneck and a flannel is Peak Gay, especially next to Gavin “I wear the same leather jacket+hoodie combo every single day and probably the same jeans for a month” Reed, aka the most disastrous and chaotic bisexual I have ever seen. Again, a mood, I honestly felt that one.

The face when Nines realizes that Ada isn’t deviant yet. 

Gavin is blaming himself somebody stop this idiot. 

“Not without Nines.” What a softie.

“The last thing I said to him was ‘I don’t need you’.” BITCH WHAT THE FUCK MY HEART.

Gavin calling Tina “T” in that soft voice is so sweet omg

Ugh the bisexual LIGHTING is KILLING ME, ESPECIALLY as Gavin sits at Nines’ bedside

Tina encouraging Gavin. WLW/MLM solidarity. 

Fun fact: Chris Trindade told Maximilian not to react at all to the big speech but Maximilian literally started crying during it and there’s footage somewhere of the Dramatic Single Tear rolling down his face while he’s still ‘in stasis’.

Yes, I double checked the streams to make sure I got this right, I love the concept though.

Look I cannot get into the speech because I will write 1.5k words on it, but I will say this: It made me cry. The acting, the writing, it’s iconic. The amount of love and devotion they got without even saying the words “I love you” was amazing. Chris is so very talented. 

THERES A TAKE WHERE GAVIN FALLS ASLEEP NEXT TO NINES’ HOSPITAL BED AKSDGAKL IM SCREAMING

Tina is the best wingman ngl

The glitches in Zen Gavin are amazing. The sequence when he’s deleting the Zen Garden is also amazing. I use amazing a lot but it’s deserved.

Nines deleting the Zen Garden and Sim!Gavin is very symbolic of letting go of all of the fake stuff, letting go of the fear he was holding that kept him from confessing to Gavin and I love that

Nines sitting silently straight up. 

Gavin is highly intelligent and I’m so glad Octopunk embraces that. 

*another vaguely related rant warning*

Ok let me tell y’all a thing because this RUINS MY LIFE. People tend to take characters like Percy Jackson or Dean Winchester, whose intelligence isn’t outwardly obvious from the get-go, and remove it entirely. Percy is reduced to an idiot who can’t tie his own shoes and Dean is often shown basically unable to research without Sam. Both of those are bullshit. 

Percy has ADHD and Dyslexia, so when often we categorize smart as only book-smart, Percy’s intelligence as a battle strategist and his actual knowledge gets erased. Dean is usually the more physical and shoot-first-never-ask-questions type, and his intelligence is severely downplayed. He made an EMP detector from scratch. Made a shotgun, remembers how to kill things, is a very good hunter, especially on his own. But that’s thrown away because he’s not book-smart.

I despise when people take characters who are talented and smart in ways that aren’t just reciting the periodic table and reduce them to muscles and angst or drooling children. 

Octopunk having a scene where Gavin is working through a case, already having done the things that Chris, someone who was only recently promoted, suggests, is just affirming Gavin’s intelligence in a way I wish I could be not surprised by. Gavin is smart, and luckily I haven’t seen much downplaying that fact. He’s a detective for a reason. Unfortunately I think it might be because the fandom tends to turn Connor and Nines into actual children, but a win is a win.

Now I’m not saying I don’t love a good himbo character but I literally had to stop interacting with Percy Jackson content because people wrote him as incapable.

*Moving on*

“I think I can help with that.” Bitch why are you so dramatic I love him so much.

Nines’ t-shirt says “Detroit City Marathon” 

“You...undead asshole.” What an iconic line. I need a t-shirt. 

“I...hate you.” “You love me.” Harkens back to the beginning where the roles are reversed. Yes I used that unironically. Words are fun.

Gavin looking scared right before The Kiss™️ 

THE PULSE POINT!! THE SCENE WAS SUPER EMOTIONAL SO MICHELLE WANTED THEM TO DO YOGA ZEN SHIT TO PREPARE AND THEN THEY JUST DID THE THING BUT THEY PUT IN THE PULSE POINT 

ANYWAYS THAT’S WHAT GAVIN IS FEELING FOR ON NINES’ WRIST RIGHT BEFORE THE KISS.

I thought that was cute when I learned it in one of the streams.

Nines’ LED spinning blue when they finally kiss asgladkaf 

“What dipshit programmed you to do that?” “I’m the most advanced android ever made, detective-“ “oh you are such a fuckin’ prick!” “Takes one to know one.” I canNOT with them, I laughed my ASS off

The little broken laugh Nines does

Nines rubbing his hands over Gavin’s while they talk about Gavin’s jacket

Shoutout to Chris’ surprised pikachu face. (Tina is also there) That was a joke take, it’s in the gag reel, too. The face wasn’t supposed to make it into the film but Michelle added it. (In the gag reel, Carla yells “Let’s go to Denny’s!” At the end.) 

And Ada’s leather pants. Honestly?? She’s so pretty. I love her. They’re all really attractive it’s actually terrifying.

Nines and Tina being a part of the Gay Turtleneck Gang

Nines’ untucked turtleneck

Tina being a Smart Girl. (Nines calling her “Officer” and her replying with “I’ll make detective someday.”

Chris being Exhausted during the whole meeting. Me too dude.

Chris and Tina doing literally nothing while Gavin and Nines have a whole heart to heart

The WHITE COAT. Tina in her blues. Chris’ Foo Fighters shirt. They’re such icons but they absolutely look like a group of gay ppl who did NOT decide on a theme.

The fight sequence is impressive, considering that they’re literally not stunt actors. I’m not a fight choreographer or stunt person so That’s really all I have to say on that.

Chris patting Gavin’s gun after he explains what he’s doing. \

As a Jason Todd lover the crowbar is unfortunate (had to, sorry)

Nines’ smirk and the TURTLENECK as he spins away from Ada with the crowbar. Iconic. The Big Dick Energy. Especially for someone who doesn’t have a dick.

Chris being a Dad when Gavin runs off to go stop the body calibration

Ada just YEETS Gavin. Iconic.

Ada: *doing the villain “you won’t shoot me, you’re too moral” thing*

Chris: Shut the fuck up *shoots her*

Deviancy sequence, iconic

“You’re awake now” bitch get your own tag line, Markus became Robot Jesus for this shit

He’s HOLDING HER HAND while DEFENDING HER!! PLATONIC HAND HOLDING

Gavin trusting Nines’ decision immediately. Amazing. THAT’S LOVE BITCH.

The SMILES after Ada leaves!! They know they made the right choice!

Ugh the COLOR SYMBOLISM!! This is one thing that Michelle has touched on herself! Gavin isn’t wearing white in this scene because he’s not ‘fixed’, he never will be! He has trauma and he’s just barely beginning to heal from it with Nines’ help. He’s wearing grey, lighter than his usual, but still grey because they aren’t pure or innocent and they’re not perfect!! And that’s the fucking point!! It’s also a contrast against Sim!Gavin wearing white! Sim!Gavin was an idealized version of Gavin in Nines’ idealized world!! Real Gavin isn’t that!! So he’s wearing grey!!

Gavin immediately understanding that Nines is Ace and that it’s ok!! Beautiful!

“You’ve been a whole person since the day you woke up” YES!! YOU DO NOT NEED SEX TO BE WHOLE!! FUCK YEAH!!! (this is ace excitement. In the months since writing this I realized I’m aro-ace and trans so fuck yeah for ace rep.) 

Gavin being a dick and making Nines tell him about the skin thing

THE KISS!! They slowly move more into the light!! Because they’re getting better TOGETHER!!

Ok before I sign off, it’s only 3 am so I think I’m awake enough to talk about this, I like that they bring up that Gavin has like, actual issues that he needs to get through. Let’s be 100% honest here, I see Gavin as having ADHD, depression, and probably a form or symptoms of PTSD. He’s kinda fucked up and I’m gonna be real here he needs some therapy. He’s got trauma and needs to work through it. 

I like that at the end they explicitly have Nines understand and accept that that’s what needs to happen. As someone who has actually had relationships ruined because of trauma (on both sides) that we were unprepared to work through together, if I had seen something like that? Game changer. As it was, most relationships I had seen were idealized and seemed to “fix” those issues by way of just being in a relationship. Thanks major media. 

Now that the Detroit Evolution post series is over, I’m gonna be a bit sentimental and say that this film quite literally changed my life. Seriously. Michelle is such a big inspiration for me and I can only hope to be the same for someone else. 

If you ever have a chance to check out any of the amazing people who worked on this film, please do. To put into context how big this was: I changed my ideal college major from Forensics to Film. 

That’s it that’s all, ending this post at 3:24 am before I literally start crying over it. Thanks for suffering through my long-winded explanations, I hope you enjoyed. Have a wonderful day.

continuation 2.0

@octopunkmedia you brought it on yourself

[badallalla]

Mi avete scritto in tanti durante queste ultime settimane chiedendomi come mai non stavo più aggiornando il blog con nuovi articoli per cui oggi finalmente posso accontentarvi. Ultimamente sto lavorando su altri due progetti che mi stanno assorbendo tante energie, l’entusiasmo è alle stelle e sento tante energie positive da condividere con chi mi segue. E’ vero, ultimamente non riesco ad essere multitasking come vorrei e desidero tanto una vacanza per ricaricarmi ma questo è uno di quei periodi dove serve battere il ferro finché  è caldo.

Nei pochi ritagli che riesco a conquistarmi a suon di gomitate con l’agenda mi è capitato di “smanettare” con lo smartphone senza una meta ne’ tanto meno un obiettivo, un po’ come quando per addormentarsi si scrolla una bacheca di Facebook senza un reale interesse. Ebbene in uno di questi momenti capito sulla pagina IG di @liceomodisteria notando che qualcosa ha stuzzicato la mia curiosità…

Cosa può avermi colpita di una delle tante gallery che visiono ogni giorno ? Sicuramente la freschezza e la spontaneità con la quale questo brand riesce a creare accessori e gioielli che coronano un abito, magari proprio quello che hai scelto per un’ occasione importante e che spesso ci lascia un punto interrogativo proprio per la ciliegina che manca.

Di Liceo Modisteria mi ha colpito quell’attitudine data dal mix adrenalinico tra il classico, la rivisitazione in chiave contemporanea di accessori che oggi consideriamo inediti ma che in realtà sono dei classici che hanno scandito la moda dei tempi che furono (e che saranno).

Per esempio sono rimasta colpita dalla corona in foglie di metallo sul solco del copricapo in alloro che ci rimanda a un Dante ma che su una acconciatura femminile vi assicuro ha il suo bell’effetto, anche in un’ occasione importante come un matrimonio.

Ciò che colpisce nell’immediato è l’assimetria di questi accessori che da soli sono sufficienti a far sprizzare di personalità qualsiasi look, anche quello apparentemente più semplice anche perché parliamo di creazioni personalizzabili su richiesta.

Un brand nato quasi per gioco presente a Bologna,  e udite udite in alcuni atelier di Tokyo e Kyoto!

Ma ora vi parlo di quel che più ha stuzzicato la mia curiosità, iniziando dai tanti tipi di tiara rivisitati con quel tocco un po’ Glam, per non parlare dello Chokerino in velluto e “Gros grain” che mi ha colpito per la leggerezza e anche l’adattabilità ai vari outfit.

Sempre parlando di tiare, molto elegante è molto elegante è la Narciso, interamente realizzata a mano e placcata oro 24 carati, arricchita di cristalli personalizzabile secondo i vari gusti e preferenze anche eventualmente in bianco e abbinabile non solo sul proprio vestito nuziale ma anche su un vestitino easy chic.

Il gioiello a mio avviso più originale di Liceo Modisteria è senza dubbio il Carlo Jewel, il cui nome è ispirato all’imperatore del Sacro Romano Impero (Carlo Magno): una sorta di corona di delicate foglioline metalliche lavorate minuziosamente a mano e placcata con oro 24 carati che, udite udite, può essere utilizzato o come ornamento sulla testa, come una coroncina che si adatta alla capigliatura, oppure come collana da far cadere sulle linee del proprio busto o addirittura come ornamento per cingere il giro vita, adesso capirete perché ne sono rimasta incantata.

Questo accessorio è tra le cose più originali che mi è capitato di vedere in quest’ ultimo periodo. E’ il classico oggetto che lascerebbe chiunque a bocca aperta per lo stupore, davanti a tanta beltà è difficile  anche solo pensare di poterne fare un’ idea regalo per qualcuno, io la terrei tutta per me!

Sempre dalla collezione 2019 ecco Alessio Fiore, con leggiadri fiori placcati oro 24 carati e argento, arricchiti da cristalli di Boemia e montati su spillone, vendibili anche singolarmente, inoltre questa creazione può essere personalizzata a richiesta con qualsiasi colore.

Sempre dall’ultima collezione, per i miei gusti, merita più di uno sguardo la fascia Irene che della sua duttilità fa il suo principale punto di forza in quanto è modellabile a piacimento grazie all’elastico posteriore con nodo regolabile cosa che oltre a dare quella sensazione di “sempre nuovo che non ci stanca mai” la rende un accessorio immancabile per outfit di tutte le stagioni.

Ma Liceo Modisteria non è solo Wedding, il brand propone infatti come vi accennavo sopra anche altre eleganti creazioni che ricordo vedono la sinergia di artigiani specializzati in un preciso campo, non solo sartoria ma anche calzoleria, colorazione, specialisti dei lavori con metalli per un mix originale e soprattutto 100% “fatto a mano” .

Ma tornando quanto accennavo sopra, Liceo Modisteria presenta una proposta variegata che sa il fatto suo in ogni circostanza, per esempio un altro accessorio che risuona nelle mie corde è il bel cappello Morena, un copricapo sofisticato ma sbarazzino a tesa larga e dalla forma vintage creato in morbido velour che su richiesta è possibile anche arricchire con una piuma. Questo cappello lo trovo decisamente adatto ad un outfit di questa stagione magari abbinato a un bel capottino in lana colorata.

Ogni creazione targata -Liceo Modisteria viene confezionata con un simpatico packaging dal font stile Bauhaus.

Francesca, che ho intervistato per completare il mio articolo di @liceomodisteria mi ha parlato così:

– Liceo modisteria è un progetto nato e sviluppato dal 2015 ad oggi, come risultato di una maturità artistica e sperimentale. In seguito a due anni di sfrenato divertimento londinese (accompagnato anche da un lavoro come sales assistant nel magico mondo di Harrods e da un bazzicare tra qualche vips Franco-brit-arab-pop) sono tornata nella ridente Bologna e ho ricominciato, un po’ per caso, a frequentare i luoghi e le persone che frequentavo al Liceo (artistico e sperimentale). Nel contempo mi sono praticamente rimessa sui banchi di scuola per imparare l’arte della modisteria. E così ho iniziato a realizzare accessori per completare i look di alcune tipe, tra spose e invitate ai matrimoni, Tra chi doveva andare alla prima della Boheme e chi aveva un party a tema. Piano piano “ho messo insieme un’insieme di creazioni”, ognuna con una sua storia, ognuna diversa, che hanno dato vita alla collezione (almeno in parte).

COLLEZIONE 2019:

La collezione 2019 prende ispirazione da un viaggio alla riscoperta delle radici del nostro passato. Dall’opulenza delle dame settecentesche delle corti borboniche fino ai grandi personaggi del mondo antico viene identificato l’ornamento come segno di distinzione e personale celebrazione. Ad esempio la corona di Dante rivisitata, in chiave un pò minimal (ma non troppo), placcata oro 24 carati o verniciata in off white, nero o a piacere. E tante Tiare che deliziano ogni outfit, munite di diverse decorazioni per ogni acconciatura. Ognuna con una sua storia. Come le donne che le indossano. Da qui il concetto di “customizzazione”. Passato e presente che si mescolano, prendendosi un pò in giro. Sperimentando.

Alcune opzioni di velo, dal modello Nonna Grace, che dall’asimmetria dei tagli sembra quasi punk, ai fascinators con veletta montata, romantici e senza tempo. Piume di struzzo, marabù, paglia sisol, organza, seta e duchesse. Questi i materiali principali.

E poi un modello di sandalo con gioiello montato su tacco, e un set composto da cappa impalpabile in mussola di seta e body belt in piume; per una modernissima Maria Antonietta.

Adesso capite perché questo marchio ha destato in me tanta curiosità?

Insomma se volete stupire e stupirvi sapete a chi rivolgervi

Puchuncavi Lunes 23 de Enero 2017 Reconocen a los mejores de la PSU en la comuna de Puchuncavi. En una ceremonia que se realizo en la que estuvieron presentes la Alcaldesa de la Comuna de Puchuncaví, Eliana Olmos Solís, la Vicepresidenta de Asuntos Corporativos de AES Gener, Mariana Soto, Concejales y demás representantes de la empresa eléctrica, fueron reconocidos los jóvenes que obtuvieron los mejores puntajes en la Prueba de Selección Universitaria año 2016. En la ocasión, los tres mejores puntajes recibieron de parte de AES Gener un importante incentivo económico. Es así como Melissa Gaete Gatica, mejor puntaje comunal recibió la suma de un millón ochocientos mil pesos; Nicolás Ramírez, segundo lugar comunal recibió un millón doscientos mil pesos; y Scarlett Ramírez, tercer lugar comunal recibió la suma de novecientos mil pesos, montos que podrán utilizar para el pago de aranceles, materiales de estudio o traslado. “Esta es una premiación, el incentivo económico es un apoyo para sus futuros gastos cuando empiecen su educación superior, y esto muestra la buena relación y la confianza entre Aes Gener y la Comunidad y por supuesto con el Municipio, lo que nos permite ir por buen camino en la labor de ayudar a los jóvenes y sus estudios” indicó Mariana Soto Espinosa, Gerenta de Sustentabilidad de AES Gener. Así mismo, el Municipio quiso reconocer a los jóvenes Francisco Rivas, Tiare Navia y Karla Salinas, cuarto, quinto y sexto mejor puntaje respectivamente, haciéndoles entrega de un computador que les será de gran ayuda en esta nueva etapa que comenzarán a partir de marzo. “Muy orgullosa de ver como nuestros alumnos han aprovechado la oportunidad entregada por el Municipio y AES Gener, lo que les permite contar con las mismas herramientas que otros colegios en cuanto a su preparación para la PSU. Siempre es importante reconocer el esfuerzo y los jóvenes hoy han demostrado su interés por continuar de la mejor manera su futuro”, destacó la Alcaldesa Eliana Olmos Solis.

SEVEN DEADLY SYNTHS - A Comedy Short Film about Synthesizers, Envy, and Queer Millennials

[octopunkmedia]

Enjoy this fourth screencap from Seven Deadly Synths, our next film. This cap features the Synths OT3 together in one frame. There is Seth (Maximilian Koger), and his partners Mag (Tiare Solis) and Jared (Graham Edwards). So, not only is Seth a bisexual character, but he is also polyamorous, as are his partners.

Mag is an existentially exhausted grad student who wants to support Seth, but definitely feels to strain of living with someone who wants to own sixteen synthesizers. 😂Jared is a rideshare driver who always looks on the bright side, even if sometimes he looks at it upside down. All three of them really complete each other!

Seven Deadly Synths hits the film festival circuit this fall, and will also be available to Patreon in September. It will be posted on YouTube for the public sometime next year. Stay tuned for more pics every day this week, showing off all our characters!

It is set for release on Youtube this August.

Where did the concept for Valerie come from? Obviously she's supposed to be Tina's wife, but is she a character you read of in a fic and decided to add into the movie? Is she your own OC? Did someone suggest her?

Valerie is my own character but the concept of Tina having a wife is definetly a mass fandom concept.

I knew I wanted to include the lovely Tiare Solis in DE after working with her on Seven Deadly Synths, so a lot of Valerie's actual personality is informed by Tiare. Her lawyer background is an homage to Tiare's law school history and her maiden name Morales was a Tiare-provided headcanon.

Detroit Evolution: Part 1

To clarify, this is only PART of the analysis I’ve done, I have over 2k words I believe. Link to the film is at the end. Have fun! 

For the sake of anyone who doesn’t want to read a bunch of me rambling I’ll add a keep reading break. Warning! Spoilers ahead. This includes bits from livestreams I’ve watched in addition to the film itself. This is only as late as it is because now I’ve told everyone I know irl so it’s Internet Time.

Here’s an actor list with names, roles, and Instagram handles! I’ll post this with each part for the sake of anyone who doesn’t know.

Actor list:

Maximilian Kroger - Nines (@ maximiliankroger)

Christopher (Chris) Trindade - Gavin (@ trindabago)

Michael Smallwood - Chris Miller (@ michaelsmallwoodforever)

Carla Kim - Tina Chen (@ carlahkim)

Jillian Geurts - Ada (@ jilbobaggins_nyc)

Michelle Iannantuono - The Almighty (@ octopunkmedia)

JJ Goller - Lazzo (@ quasar.cos)

Brett Mullen - Cinematographer (@ brettmullendirector)

Austin Butts - Sound Design (@ austinbytts)

Tiare Solis - Valerie (@ tiareleiana)

People are...complicated. *Looks Zen Garden!Gavin up and down*

SWITCHED COLOR SCHEMES FROM ZEN GARDEN TO CAR SCENE, Nines wearing a white coat where he wore only black in the Garden, Gavin wearing dark colors where his shirt was white

Gavin holding Nines’ arm through the crowd, gotta protect the bf.

HIS SHIRT COLLAR IS UNBUTTONED OOP

“Y’all have a nice day” wasn’t supposed to make it in but it did and that’s AMAZING

Nines’ smug look after “Don’t you fuckin’ dare” what a smug bastard, I love him.

On that note, the slight distortion in Nines’ imitations. Small detail, makes it so much cooler.

Chris waves off Gavin when Parker approaches them. He already knows who he is.

They put Jillian’s (Ada’s) Name over the android model, foreshadowing??? I read too much into things.

SHARK MUG SHARK MUG

Gavin’s flippy phone case when he gets up to go look at the black market

Nines’ little sigh as Gavin walks away. He looks so sad :( give him a hug

Chris probably sitting on the other end of the phone during the “What would make you feel something” scene like “bro what the fuck”

The small spinning detail in Nines’ LED, it’s like a tiny sliver of it that’s slightly darker spinning around it. It’s in the canon LEDs so it’s cool that they did that.

LISTEN THANK TUMBLR FOR THIS ONE: Nines found Gavin’s scars “charming” (quote: “As charming as your scars are detective, I do not need my honor defended.”) and when he’s describing how he experiences physical attraction, he says “...I suppose I could fixate on certain aspects of their appearance that I find charming.” Aka he is absolutely SMITTEN with this self-destructive dork and I am IN FOR THE FUCKING RIDE.

How do the postcards that come with the $10 tier patreon work? Are they signed by like the cast and crew of d:e? Is each month a different signature from a different person? :o

Each month is centered around a different person. The postcard has a unique design inspired by that person, and is hand-signed on the back by that person. So they're all authentic autographs.

This month is Chris Trindade but they are currently sold out, as I only had 100! I usually give a heads up about who the next month will be 1-2 days before the new month starts.

I try not to reuse folks who've already done them, so it would be awhile before we'd do Michael Smallwood or Maximilian Koger or Tiare Solis again, since they've already participated in the past. But the actors who play Parker and Dr. Maria may participate in the future, and I have an upcoming set from Jillian Geurts who plays Ada!
