✨ Self-appreciation time~! List five of your favorite works, be it in the form of pieces of writing, graphics, icons, drawings, code, and so on. Then, if you're feeling up to it, pass this on to five more blogs! ✨
sorry this took so long to answer, ive been in a bit of a self esteem struggle lately....perhaps this is what i needed
but for starters, im a pretty decent artist! im still really happy with my underdogs fashion zine piece, even if the zine kinda fell apart, my Giant mspaint ibara piece, the face on my ibara/tokoyami style swap, and my spinner fallen angel painting
im also a pretty good researcher-- ive learned a lot about plant cognition in my quest to #hack ibara, and i cant help but stim all over that shit when anyone asks me to do a bit of scientific digging for them. i love quirks!

Underdogs: Preorders Open Now How Invisible Girl Used Eye-Catching Fashion to Battle the Effects of Quirk Discrimination "Not only is the style something super eye-catching, but the whole movement and community behind it have also been very inspiring for me," Invisible Girl told us. "When I first developed my Quirk, it felt like the world had ended for me. I felt like I didn't exist anymore ... and some people started acting that way too or pretending that I was a ghost. It was a very isolating experience. But, Yami Kawaii helped me find myself again!"

'Nosferatu,' La Doña turns 1, CBD sampling: 45 free things to do this weekend - City Pages
"Volta Photo" at the Weinstein Hammons Gallery Sanle Sory FRIDAY: Volta Photo In 1960, Sanlé Sory opened a photography studio in Bobo-Dioulasso, the trendy/artistic city in Burkina Faso. That same year, the nation had received full independence from France. As the country entered a new post-colonial era, Sory photographed the vibrant youth culture that emerged. Spanning 20-some years, his collection of portraits features lovers kissing, smiling friends with a boombox, and style so fly it could belong in a high-fashion magazine from any era.

'Nosferatu' Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror Released in 1922, Nosferatu is just a few years shy of its 100th anniversary, and somehow still manages to be creepy. Part of that effect may come from its on-location sets and beautifully framed shots, and Max Schreck’s performance as the titular monster certainly factors into its legacy. Yet another spooky aspect is the film’s soundtrack, which has been adapted and reimagined over the years. This Halloween, guests can head to the Music Box Theatre for a screening set to a live soundtrack from the Curse of the Vampire Orchestra, by Minneapolis composer Philip Shorey. The score features a local symphony and choral musicians mixed with modern electronica and industrial percussion. 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18-19; 3:30 p.m. Oct. 19. Free; RSVP required.

MN Toy Posse Image courtesy event organizers MN Toy Posse Halloween Bash 3 What happens when you combine 70 toy sellers from all over the Midwest, hundreds of toy fans of all ages, and thousands of rare and unique toys and collectables? You get one giant posse. This weekend, the Minnesota Toy Posse will host its third-annual Halloween Bash toy swap. Posse founder Mark Seekamp started the group a little over three years ago on Facebook as a way to help connect people looking to buy, sell, or trade their favorite toys. He hadn’t planned on just how many people would want to join his gang. “We have more than 2,200 members, and it’s a really active group,” he says. And it’s not just about toys, either. “We’ve become friends and talk about our lives. People will post pictures when they have a baby, or we’ll just use it to meet up and go see a movie. It’s about creating relationships beyond just looking for toys.” For Seekamp, the best part of the day is how toys can bring people together. “The coolest part is being able to see someone who is going to be really excited about a toy that you have that you’re ready to part with.” 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Oct. 20.

For the fic author thing: 8, 10, 26, 31, 38, 40 and 44
ohhhh boy :o8. what time are you most productive?Whenever I can get myself working... I notice I get on a roll all day long if I can get started in the morning once I’ve had some coffee, but I think part of that is just that if I’m in the mood to work that early it’s usually because I’m feeling inspired.10. how do you do your researches?Honestly, I avoid as much research as I can. I tend to gravitate toward writing things I already know well enough without researching, like often in my AUs I give the characters jobs that I’ve had in the past. When I’m writing skating and such, I mostly fall back on wikipedia, and if I have cultural questions, I track down friends who might know the answer and ask them. For instance, one of my friends lived in Kumamoto for a few years, so if I have Japan questions, I usually just harass her.26. story you’re most proud ofOooooh I’m not sure. There’s some stuff I haven’t released yet that I’m really happy with. I wish the answer was one of the more popular stories, but I always seem to stan the underdog, even with my own writing. I’m really attached to best friends and all my enemies, because it turned out just like I wanted it to. Often I think we don’t quite have the ability or the confidence to churn out the exact story we imagine starting out, but in this case I was pleased with what I got.31. easiest part of writingOutlining, in some fashion. My early outlines for stories are pretty stream-of-consciousness as I plot out bits and pieces of what needs to happen. When you’re not worrying about things like dialogue and imagery, it’s easy to just sit down and GO. Yesterday, I wrote nearly 700 words of an outline while I was sitting in an airport. It doesn’t require the ideal conditions that draft writing does.38. do you reread your own stories?Sometimes I have to for other things, like to choose samples for a zine or to make sure that my new chapter doesn’t contradict something I wrote before. Reading for fun, though? Yes, but not until a long time has passed - usually a few years. Eventually, you get enough distance that it’s more like reading as a reader, and even if parts aren’t very good, you can spot the stuff that is.40. which one of your stories would you most like to see as a movie/series?Ordinary People would be fun. I love superhero stuff, although I’m burned out on the Marvel movies right now. I’d totally roll around in an OP comic or movie or whatever. I think part of why I lean toward that one is that it’s my general taste and, it’s also not super derivative? It is, in that I borrowed from a lot of other media, but I did so much borrowing from so many sources that it feels more like an original story that happens to have some YOI character names in it to me.44. do you write linear or do you write future scenes if you feel like it?When I’m actually writing my draft, it’s 90% linear. In my outlines, I jump around, because I’m cobbling the idea together and usually I know the ending before I know the middle, but once I start the story I begin at the beginning, because I know that sometimes as I go along, changes in characterization or plot will develop that will effect the later sections anyway. The exception is when I’m editing and I realize two parts of the story are missing a connective scene - then I’ll go back and add something between that ties things together.Thanks for all the cool questions!

Today’s writeup was entirely based on the Super Bowl win. The Super Bowl being the “international” American Football championship for the international folks that read this. It’s more or less a second independence day type holiday in the United States. But I think Philly is a good topic to bring up and definitely something I’ve been meaning to do for a while. That’s cause I honestly think the East Coast has shifted heavily towards Philly in the modern times.
The Animal influence on the East Coast is something I’ve brought up multiple times. In it’s gist is that the Animal videos of the early 2000′s brought attention to a form of a street riding that very new to the BMX world. The center point to it all was definitely New York City. It’s completely understandable why. A lot of the riders were from NYC. The noticeable scenery was all NYC. Snoffshack of Brooklyn being home to what seemed like everyone on the Animal pro team at the time. It was all a very complete tidy package. New York Culture is ubiquitous in the world. It’s why dudes in Egypt wear Yankees hats and random fashion companies have NYC in the branding for extra points. It’s where movies outside of Hollywood take place and where hip hop was born. For Animal to be an extension of all that is just natural.
For the longest time it was that way. Even the recent Animal House video that restarted the brand was entirely New York City based but the problem I think was that there wasn’t enough forward momentum to push NYC consistently into the newer BMX media landscape. Bob has a very slow process, something he’s admitted. It makes for memorable full length projects but it really doesn’t work for anything outside of that model. Photographers were rare. Videographers also. Not to say they didn’t exist cause NYC has a strong underground identity but the underground isn’t something that can move units and that’s what the East Coast needed. For a point in time it seemed like the East Coast went into some weird remission where nothing was coming out. Animal seemed dead. The original Animal riders were quickly aging out and honestly there weren’t a lot of well known NYC riders that could pick up the mantle that the original crew created. Then Philly kind of happened.
There has never been any shortages of good riders from Pennsylvania. Bethlehem had Joe Rich at some point. Pittsburgh has their legenday trail scene. Allentown is Butcher and A-town Trash and Philadelphia was the grounds for upcoming South Jersey riders and random streets pros from surrounding areas like Tom White, Joe Mcintire, Van Homan and Wiz. All those cities in Pennsylvania have cemented themselves as creators of legends and maintained a thriving scene. Philly itself seemed really slept on. There wasn’t a real identity to attach itself with outside of Animal, which was being very NYC-centric for the longest time. But when NYC kind of lost its way for a while, Philly kind of slowly started to take its place. Philly is cheap. It’s not NYC but it’s definitely one of the largest cities in America. The surrounding suburbs are breeding grounds for bored slightly anti-social suburban kids who are the main demographic for people who want to BMX. There were plenty of skateparks, plenty of land to create trails. Plenty of places to be a kid, which is needed for BMX. NYC was becoming a city that couldn’t accommodate that type of culture. The high cost, the seriousness, it creates greatness but its not the type of the place that cultivate something like BMX easily. Even a lot of the old school edge once associated with NYC like punk rock and rap quickly disappeared. NYC as a city changed drastically and lost some of that underground flavor it was once famous for. When it couldn’t produce, it seemed like Animal and the East Coast was doomed.
I mentioned earlier that Animal was the only identity for street in Pennsylvania for the longest time, while street was thriving. I want to say at a certain point that Pennsylvania was overflowing with talent and it had to blow up. There had to be an outlet for what was happening. With the birth social networking and being able to reach a worldwide audience through more or less self distribution, a new form of underground was beginning to show itself in Pennsylvania/Philly. Chocolate Truck, Stinkpit, Jib, The Yea. These local crews who were immensely talented were popping left and right in the area. In a way that I don’t think any other city in America truly has. Sure there’s plenty of crews with hashtags but very few who have been able to solidify any type of real brand identity like these Philly-centric crews have. I think Animal realized this and really tapped into this new reserve while the old one was taking time to renew itself (different story for a different day).
Currently I think we live in a time where the East Coast is Philly more than anything else, it’s their Golden Age. It’s Pennsylvania riders who are coming up and making a name and today. They have their own zine that focuses solely on Pennsylvania. Their own mail order. It’s a living, breathing scene in an otherwise seemingly dated community and today they can celebrate escaping their forever underdog persona with their first Super Bowl win. I’m pretty sure there is a few scene DVD’s in the making right now. CT2 is definitely something coming soon. Philly really blew up and it’ll be interesting to see what comes of it in the coming years.
