#witnessing art evolve is a treat

[tatertotcosmonaut]

A really common take is that JJK is a story about the good guys never winning, about good people (or people trying to be good) failing no matter what— and Imma be real, I kinda disagree with this take!

Obviously you can interpret this story however you want and I see how people would come to that conclusion. But I don’t think Gege is passively nihilistic, or making a story like that. I think that Gege is just someone who is pretty critical of modern society and has just personified those critiques in the form of curses and a grimey setting.

Heavy stories or dark stories like JJK kinda fall prone to this “ah it’s just a nihilistic all hope is lost” story viewpoint, and while that can be true sometimes these stories usually are about holding onto hope, brutal but steady change, inner or societal reflection, fostering new generations, or persevering through it. Horrible things happen in these manga, at times it really does seem like a pointless endeavor— but there are always characters that move forward and hold onto hope. Always a flourishing forest after the large fire.

And I think JJK is definitely one of these stories, a story where after that storm there will be new life afterwards. Not everyone will be alive, but it will be bittersweet.

Gege is an author that has never really been afraid to critique Japanese society. Maki and Mai and the result of the Ze’nin are critiques of sexism and heavy traditionalism. Toji, Maki, and Mechmaru could definitely be seen as a critique on ableism and how disabled people are treated in society. Nanami is a critique on the brutal work system in Japan. Higuruma is a critique on the justice system in Japan. Hell, a lot of our main characters are the social outcasts of society (due to physical traits or just philosophical outlooks). And the recent critiques of racism, especially anti-blackness, in Japanese society with Miguel.

The higher ups of the Jujutsu Society are definitely a way of dissecting the disconnect older politicians or generations often have with younger generations, passing laws that will not better future generations and being stuck in conservative ways (hell Gojo blatantly calls them idiot conservatives).

Suguru Geto is an example of how lost youth without any support systems can get lost in the cracks. He gets so consumed by his depression, the tragedy he witnessed around him, and his anger that no one is doing anything about the fact that youth are dying that he turns to cults and extremist ideology.

While these events seem fantastical due to the existence of curses and people causing city wide destruction via cool martial arts combat, these situations of societal collapse and failing do indeed happen, and are happening and becoming worse at an alarming rate.

Even the nature of curses themselves can be seen as a personification of the anxiety and fears literally consuming and killing humanity, most notably the younger generation. Snuffing out hopes, or any motivation that the world will become better. Curses are literal manifestations of people’s fears and negative emotions, whose strength depends on the amount of fear humanity has of the concept. This literal and emotional consumption of the youth is even seen in the entities from the Heian Era.

Tengen, Kenjaku, and Sukuna all continue to live depending on the body of someone else, erasing who this person was and would have been. Tengen needs plasma star vessels so she does not evolve beyond the form she has now, Kenjaku puts their brain in the body of another, Sukuna needs a vessel to consume his fingers and when they do he immediately subjugates their soul.

All of this to say, I don’t think that JJK is a story about good people failing. It’s about society failing good people, it’s about broken customs and rules sucking the youth out of younger generations, it’s about cycles that need to be broken that CAN be broken. It’s about society that continues to slap bandaids on a knife wound and doesn’t address the fact that it’s still slowly bleeding out—

Yuki was on the right track, finding a way to nip the problem at the root. But look at how she was treated by others, about the rumors that spread of her. She was seen as useless, a dead weight, chasing after naive endeavors. But why is it naive? Shouldn’t resources also be spent on finding a way to stop the problem at the root? Or is the power, the control, the prestige (in the eyes of the higher ups and big three clans) of being a Jujutsu Sorcerer too much to lose if they were able to find a way to stop curses at the root?

This is not a hopeless world. Gojo tried to not make it such a hopeless world, Nanami bet on the future and admitted that was odd for him, love still exists even if it can hurt. People are able to overcome their demons, Maki did, Takaba did. While Maki’s development wasn’t one without hardship, without loss, she quite literally struck down most of the Zenin in her anger and a grief, a final wish from Mai to "destroy everything sister". Everything that abused them, everyone so stuck in their ways, everything that made the Zenin a bloated snake of corruption eating its own tail. And when Naoya came back she struck him down once again, with some struggle, but she overcame a past demon with help from two random ass guys that just happened to be there and happened to be nice enough to want to help.

Maki didn't lose her drive or her will, she didn't "become another Toji" that lost faith in the world and started drifting around with no meaning or consumed with apathy. She still loves her friends, she still cares for them, she still fights for them and goes through hardship for them.

There is still community in this world. There is still love, even if it hurts and it's love that makes us flawed. There's still a chance and a choice to hope and bet on the future. A better future in this world is worth fighting for, SHOULD be fought for. It is just unfortunate now that the youth themselves have to do it alone now.

There’s an interesting meta aspect to this, to the way readers have let the hopelessness convince them that there can be no happy ending. No one will come back to life, the ending will be bittersweet, there will be more death- but that does not mean it is the end. Maybe we, like Yuuji, have become jaded. Maybe we have also let this pain convince us that all the characters are destined to be is cogs in a machine. If that was the case, even if Sukuna were to die— if the characters were to fulfill their role as cogs and kill the evil of all evil— it would all be for naught. The cycle would still continue churning and churning.

Systems can be changed, one just has to have the stubbornness to change it. Yuuji just has to realize that once again.

10/30 The team puts their foot in it

(Previous) | (Index) | (Next)

We return to Prometheus, the movie that makes me want to use the “Leave it” command I’ve taught the family dog.

Apologies if the screenshots are hard to visually parse on this one, this part of the movie is not meant for viewing on a bright, sunny day. May I recommend the alt-text? I've got image descriptions in there, as well as rambles that almost double the word count of these posts.

Also, your daily reminder: Go into your blog settings, scroll down to "visibility", and turn off 3rd party data harvesting! Do it! Happiness is stored in the not-getting-comodified!

My antipathy toward the archaeologists was reaching unprecedented proportions. The only character I didn’t fault for putting his hands on everything like a two-year-old: the literal two-year-old android, David.

Is there a long and dumb history of infantilizing dudes’ behavior? Yes. Was it very funny to see the archaeologists suddenly freak out because someone else was getting too handsy with the alien archaeological finds? Also yes! 

David opens the door, having to climb up a collapsible ladder to comfortably reach the controls, which is a nice touch. The next room contains the head of the decapitated Engineer, and also

I don’t know whether the set designers put this together prior to the decision that this would be where they put the decapitated body, but in hindsight, it seems a little on the nose. What the set wants to communicate is a religious feel–an idol of some kind, delicate reliefs on the walls that some consider to be plot holes because they look xenomorph-y, and a bunch of black urns.

The visual intent, delivered beautifully but with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer, is that this is the room where shit will begin to go down. It’s a refined miniature of the egg room in Alien. Something is going to get inappropriately intimate with a man’s face here.

I suppose we are meant to find it a plot twist when that happens later, and not now, but I was still experiencing Archaeological Rage at this point.

Despite telling David not to open the door, they wander in like utter lemons, breathe all over everything, and are surprised when this has consequences. The art starts melting off the walls.

Admittedly, when the moist breath and germs of gormless tourists has caused irreparable damage to ancient egyptian tombs and 17,000 year old cave paintings, it took much longer than this. One of the characters exclaims that they must have disturbed the atmosphere in the room by opening it, which is possible. However, we literally see accumulated dirt in this room. Alien worms writhing in it. This is a plot point for a few scenes from now, because the black urns have started sweating a Mysterious Goop that the audience may remember as “that DNA melty stuff from the opening scene”.

Back when I was talking about setting mood, expectation, and feeling pretty good. I miss that.

There’s apparently a cut scene where Millburn the biologists finds those alien worms somewhere, and has a near-religious experience. It’s the first macroscopic alien life ever witnessed by modern humans. Something that evolved entirely separately from us. He’s in awe. 

The scene no longer has any logical home in the flow of the movie–the worms are only seen by the audience, in the urn room. Millburn left with Fifield the geologist, following Fifield’s panic attack. Still, it would’ve gone a long way to humanizing his character if it was still included, showing that the cast isn’t all treating this like kindergarteners at a toy store, and partially explaining a dumbass thing he does later.

It would also stand in stark contrast to further desecrating an ancient body, which is next on the agenda for our cast.

With the room literally melting and the Prometheus calling in the approach of a sandstorm, they heave the head in a duffel bag and sprint away.

I hate this. There’s the feeble justification that they already fucked up the room anyway, but they have been viewing the body as a thing they want to have, an emblem of their own efforts, and not an ethically distinct class of object that has to be treated with extreme care.

Nope! Into the duffel bag it goes. David, for his part, duffels an urn. I hate this less, for the aforementioned reason of “two-year-old who everyone’s been robot-racist at”. Also because frankly, he’s an android in an Alien movie, one that is very self-conscious about the tropes. He is either going to be an absolute saint like Bishop, or he’s going to be an extension of a callous corporate power like Ash. David is a unique spin on it, but he’s absolutely the Ash.

He manages to be all that and the only one who knows what he’s doing. David saves Shaw and the poor goddamn head from getting swept away in the sandstorm, with calm efficiency and an air of either “I have done a good thing, please praise”, or “yes, I am better at this than you”. Honestly can’t tell which. He’s certainly begun to develop antipathy toward his creators, which is one of the few character arcs that manages to occur in this movie.

So, great. Our cast has blundered into, breathed all over, and botched their exploration of humanity’s first alien structure, on the urging of an allegedly-archaeologist who literally treated it as a christmas present. They return with stolen artifacts and somebody’s head. They do not return with their biologist and geologist, who have apparently gotten lost in the alien structure, despite the geologist also being the one who was making the team a map of the place.

Things do not get better.

[buttercuparry]

I know sometimes most of us are just playing around in the fandom without any insidious reason. Hell sometimes things are just a vision and we all want those visions to see the light of the day, and there truly isn't anything wrong with that! But if a fan of colour is commenting on your post about something that might be a concern of theirs and you know this concern is related to matter of fandom racism, I don't think they are doing so to personally attack you about something. And if it indeed does feel like a criticism and you know you didn't mean your art/post/whatever else to express any sort of discrimination, I think just talking about it simply can help clear things. You don't even need to go into an explanation. It's really that simple.

I know fandom can get heated and hell despite our best attempts, back and forth tangent of discourse happens. But the way the fandom treats fans of colour not just in the asoiaf side of tumblr but everywhere-it's a bit disheartening. You have people mocking a fan of colour in tags of a post and going "all this discourse for lily white starks". Well you all don't really listen or even acknowledge unless fans of colour are loud, do you? And when they do get loud, you all start having problems.

"Lily white starks" was the point of discourse. That's what many of us who are PoCs in the asoiaf fandom have been saying. They are all the most ashiest whites to have ever whited and race bending is cool as fuck but they aren't 90s animal cartoons where you have two cats having kittens and half of the litter has orange fur while the other half has brown fur. But somehow the character whom fanon deems to be "plain" ( never mind the text says the opposite), whose gender identity gets questioned every now and then ( even though in text they specifically state what they identify as), is drawn racially ambiguous while her siblings look like they don't even have a drop of melanin-you bet fans of colour are going to feel a type of way about this. And till now I haven't seen any major discussion regarding this, not even a peep of acknowledgement that it's a bit weird that the fanon trajectory where people shout "let (redacted) character be ugly" and then this (redacted) character and all who look like her is drawn with brown skin. But wait there's more! The "Helen" of asoiaf universe, even though is said to look like this (redacted) character is often argued to have looked nothing alike at all. So you see how all this shit evolved into the discourse under that art post right? Like it's not like this discontent was bred in a vacuum.

Even now when a new fan comes into asoiaf fandom, after a few months around they know what the dead ladies club is. Because it is that discussed and it should be because Grrm is shit like that. But dead ladies club evolved from being a genuine criticism to a championing a kind of womanhood that posits itself as the best of them all. And this mentality continues to this day and the race bending of certain houses comes from that. You have a fandom that dislikes one of the most important characters so much, that every thing they do is considered a devastation. This dislike is based on the fact that she doesn't really fit in with the kind of womanhood that's considered traditional. It has been literally witnessed how this character has changed the fantasy genre's notion of the "chosen one" but you have dudebros crying foul. And thus anything related to her is bashed more than it deserves to be and you have one of her deceased family members being presented as the devil incarnate. The woman this dead man has supposedly wronged is suddenly a woc, and the whole of the kingdom she belonged to is also a representation of poc culture in fanon?? Like do you see how exploitative this is? And then to further drive in the notion of evil, there came the dominant headcanon where one of the most priviledged and bloody houses in the fictional asoiaf universe is made analogous to real world indigenous pocs who are still fighting for their rights in their own country. It cannot get more batshit insane than that.

I genuinely believe that certain characters were initially drawn in darker shades out of a personal artistic vision. But then this got twisted by the fandom at large to suit their supposed intellectual narrative and bnf artists just simply followed the trend never questioning anything and years and years of this practice got cemented as natural and canon. Never was it questioned why a character ( and all who look like her) who is falsely fanonized as violent and ugly is drawn shades darker and why another character of whom we know nothing of but how violently she met her end is also a woc.

The most recent discourse that happened under the post carries a weight of this particular fandom history. I know there's artistic vision to consider which is why I personally try not to criticize an artist on their own post. This is also a fanart, something given to the fandom freely and I am of the opinion that if it cannot be celebrated then it should just be left alone. But what got to me was that how it felt like through the response there was this tone of trying to turn the tables on the fan of colour who commented. Like the sarcastic commentary on how there is an insistence on Valyrians being whitest white...like dude...hello?? Pretty sure this is on grrm and do you really think this person who is actively frustrated at the racist caricature would mind genuine attempt at being inclusive?! Like I have seen you around, I have enjoyed your posts, I think I even saw you under posts which criticized these particular trends while drawing certain Stark siblings, are you really going to pretend you don't know where the comments came from???

There is also the pointing towards how fandom casts all of dorne as poc and I think we have already established that this fandom is shit. Like I won't lie I enjoy my guilty pleasure of looking at Bollywood gifs representing Dorne, and I think there is this headcanony idea that Dorne is based on North Indian hindu hindi speaking culture. But in same post representing a particular house through this Hindu Hindi speaking culture you have the gifmaker using gifs of the Islamic hajj!!! Like ajaldleryjdlsldldlfg the headcanon then is the idea of amalgating brown bodies and meshing them in homogeneity because that's what we are all over the world right? 😂😂😂

Like I understand the frustration and you really got nothing to explain but it's trying to turn the tables for me (including calling a poc racist when they themselves were trying to address a racist issue)

EDIT IMPORTANT:

I am making this post non reblogable because the assumption on the basis of which I made this post was wrong. The person I have been referencing is a artist of colour themselves- so the core idea of the post isn't applicable. However I still don't know or can't wrap my head around how someone got dog piled on for a comment, and got called a racist ( a poc themself), when they have been one of the primary voices who pointed out many of the racist issues in the fandom.

For Halloween 2024, New Orleans promises an unforgettable experience for thrill-seekers and culture enthusiasts alike.

The Mystique of Voodoo in New Orleans

The city’s association with Voodoo dates back to the early 18th century, when enslaved Africans brought their spiritual practices to Louisiana.

The Twins' Relationship Pt. 1 (Migi & Dali Analysis)

One of the most important elements of the story is the twins' relationship and how it evolves. After all, the story is literally called "Migi & Dali", and their relationship is a significant aspect driving both plot and character development.

This series of posts (which I expect to be quite long) will discuss how this relationship is shown developed in throughout the entire story, so of course spoilers will be discussed.

It'll be a test to see how much I truly understand the story...

Note: Part 15 summarizes this entire thread. If you don't want to read this entire thread, you can go ahead and skip to Part 15.

Part 12

Part 13

Part 14

Part 15 (final)

In the beginning, Migi and Dali were basically one and the same, truly identical.

Sure, there may have been subtle differences between them, but at this point the twins were a lot more similar to each other than they were at 13 years old. Furthermore, they treated each other more as equals while their mother was still alive.

However, Metry's death not only traumatized them by depriving them of a mother, but it also accelerated their divergence as someone needed to fill in the vacuum left by her death. Because Dali was both the older and smarter brother, it naturally fell upon him to take care of himself and Migi (i.e. become the "parentified twin"), and this idea was hinted at with the ED art.

It was most likely because of this that their distinct personalities began to form.

Dali became more serious and mature, relying on logic and wits to survive in a physically and emotionally harsh world with his brother. As a result, he suppressed his own desires and emotions and placed heavy expectations on himself, as he needed to be the strong and reliable older brother (despite being insecure on the inside) to protect himself and more importantly Migi. He became cynical and closed himself off so that he wouldn't be hurt, though this was not healthy in the long run.

Migi also became cynical due to his mother's death, though not as much as Dali as the story shows. Unlike Dali, Migi could always count on his brother to come up with the right answer or the right thing to say, and he could more freely express his emotions and desires, which explains how he was able to retain more of his innocence compared to his brother. Still, he admired Dali and his strength, and tried to be like him. On some level, Migi also feared his brother as he didn't want to disappoint him, placing heavy expectations on himself too.

One way this dynamic is highlighted is how they talk to each other:

Dali often tells Migi what to do, while Migi has to beg Dali using "頼む" (i.e. "please" or "I beg of you") if he wants Dali to do something.

Dali frequently addresses Migi using "お前" (a casual way of saying "you"), while Migi almost always addresses Dali as "Dali", likely as a sign of respect.

Migi is often heard/seen saying "なあダリ" ("Hey Dali") when asking Dali a question, and Dali almost always has an answer.

Regardless of their differences, the twins were still the same at heart as they loved each other, and relied on each other for validation since they only had each other for most of their lives. However, their relationship was very much a codependent one, which was worsened by their abandonment issues following their mother's death, and the fact that Migi and Dali didn't quite understand each other's feelings as there was ironically a lack of communication. Because of this, Dali tried his best to be the "perfect" older brother and became overly protective and controlling towards Migi, fearing that any mistake he makes could cause him to lose his brother. Similarly, Migi tried his best to be the "perfect" younger brother and became blindly obedient toward Dali, wanting to be as helpful as he could to earn his brother's praise and affection.

In the next parts of this thread, I'll go through the entire story, pointing out how these ideas are shown and how their relationship evolves.

I've been here since september of last year and I gotta say the amount of improvement u made in ur art is AMAZING. Like ur style was already cute and aesthetically pleasing but seeing the character designs slowly evolve over time is such a treat to witness. Sweetheart looks absolutely gorgeous in ur latest drawing and comparing her current design to her 1st one rly makes me see how fast u've come as an artist. I can't wait to see how it gets better from here

THANK YOU SO MUCH

I've learned that the one thing that never fails to help improve art is getting obsessed with one specific thing and drawing it over and over again.

Day 2 ~ Helloooo, Nurse~

(Gif by me.)

Prompt: Roleplay.

Pairing: Eli Klaber × Stephan Wolff (FTM!OC).

Word Count: 3.1k+

CW: Creampie, medical play, not even like body worship just like body appreciation(?), oral sex, roleplay, vaginal sex.

A/N: Translations for the German at the bottom of the post.

Whenever Cyrus or Hauke return from missions all beat up and bleeding, it's a familiar sight to see Klaber at Wolff's side, assisting in the makeshift sick bay they've set up in their hotel room.

Klaber's role as Wolff's nurse has evolved over time, born out of necessity and strengthened by trust. He's become adept at fetching and carrying, knowing instinctively where each tool is kept. Whether it's towels to staunch bleeding or syringes filled with sedatives and painkillers, Klaber moves with a surety that belies his initial nervousness.

Under Wolff's careful guidance, Klaber has amassed a significant amount of medical knowledge. He's learned to apply pressure to staunch bleeding, the importance of sterilisation and the delicate art of administering injections. The lines between their roles blur as Klaber becomes an extension of Wolff's capable hands, his intuition finely attuned to his mentor's needs.

Through the years, Klaber has developed a profound respect for Wolff's skill and composure under pressure. He's witnessed Wolff's steady hands save lives and mend wounds, and he's come to understand the weight of the responsibilities that come with being a medic. It's a vocation that demands precision, quick thinking, and an unwavering dedication to the well-being of others.

During those moments when Klaber steps into the role of nurse, he's often awash with a mix of nerves and determination. He knows the gravity of the work they do and he's acutely aware of the trust that Wolff places in him. It's a responsibility that he doesn't take lightly and he's learned to draw strength from the confidence that Wolff has in him. Of course, it helps that Wolff usually rewards Klaber after he has to play nurse.

In their hotel room, the scent of antiseptic hangs in the air as Wolff and Klaber work in tandem to patch up Cyrus's latest injuries. They move with a practiced efficiency, their hands moving with a rhythm that comes from years of experience.

As the task draws to a close, Wolff steps back to survey their handiwork. He's impressed, as always, by Klaber's growing proficiency in the field.

"You've got a real knack for this, Klaber." He remarks, a note of pride in his voice. Klaber, though bashful, can't help but feel a swell of pride at Wolff's praise. He's come a long way from the young, nervous recruit he once was.

"Thanks, Herr Doktor." He replies, his voice tinged with gratitude.

With Cyrus tended to, Hauke steps in to assist, gently lifting the sedated hitman into his arms and carrying him back to their own room for some much-needed rest.

Left alone with Klaber, Wolff takes a moment to appreciate the bond that's formed between them over the years. They've become more than just comrades or even lovers; they're a team, a unit that relies on each other's strengths. Wolff turns to Klaber, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Klaber, would you mind giving me a once over?" He asks, a hint of vulnerability in his request. It's a role reversal of sorts, with Klaber now taking on the role of medic. Wolff trusts Klaber implicitly, knowing that he's absorbed a wealth of knowledge and skill from their shared time treating their teammates. The request catches Klaber off-guard but he's eager to rise to the challenge.

"Course, Herr Doktor." He answers, his voice steady despite the flutter of nerves in his chest. He takes a deep breath, steadying himself before approaching Wolff with the same careful precision that Wolff has shown him countless times. He's determined to impress Wolff, to show him just how far he's come since those early days.

"Do you know what you'll need?" Wolff asks and Klaber pauses then nods as he reaches for Wolff's doctors bag. Stethoscope, tongue depressor, stopwatch, thermometer, pen-light and his own hands. He gathers his supplies and sets to work. But, before Klaber can start, Wolff pulls close, running his fingers along the blonde's jaw, making his heart skip. "Oh, and have fun with it, Liebchen."

Klaber, with his tools laid out on the table, watches as Wolff stands before him, looking down at him with that ever-doting look of his.

"Need you to sit down, Herr D— Stephan." He says, the name sounding almost foreign as it rolls off his tongue.

"Of course." Wolff takes a seat on the sofa and Klaber delicately grabs the thermometer. He steps before the older man and holds it up.

"I'll — uhh... — take your temperature first." He says softly, guiding the glass instrument to Wolff's lips and slowly sliding it into his mouth. Klaber can't help but let his gaze linger on the medic's lips; soft and pink and plump, his tongue slick and wet. He remembers himself, reaching for the stopwatch, as he grasps Wolff's wrist, fingers searching for the pulse point. He starts the stopwatch and starts counting but...the feeling of the medic's pulse throbbing under his fingers makes his own heart skip. Somehow, Klaber manages to get a reading despite the distraction.

Eighty-six seems a little high but, when he takes into consideration the blush that dusts the medic's cheeks, he supposes that could be accurate. "Pulse is fine." Wolff lets Klaber gently pull the thermometer from his mouth and the blonde can't help but admire the way his lover's saliva coats the instrument. He swallows audibly. "Thirty-seven. Good." Klaber bites his lip, fighting back a blush as he places the thermometer on the table. Next, the blonde goes for the stethoscope and Wolff glances up at him.

"Are you going to need me to take off my shirt?" He asks and Klaber nods.

"Yeah, pl-please, Stephan." The medic reaches for the buttons on his waistcoat, undoing them one-by-one before shrugging it from his shoulders. Wolff sets the waistcoat aside, his fingers then reaching for the buttons of his dress shirt. Klaber can't help the fumble of nerves in his chest. Sure, he's seen the medic like this countless times but, now, it's different. He's the one conducting the examination and the weight of that responsibility hangs heavy on his shoulders. He watches as Wolff slips the shirt from his shoulders and Klaber finds himself biting his lip again, swallowing down the lump of nervous arousal that keeps building in his throat. Wolff is gorgeous, as always, but today he looks particularly vulnerable, his body pale and lanky and thin.

Klaber slides in the earpieces and presses the bell of the stethoscope to the medic's chest, a few inches under his collarbone, and the medic lets out a soft sigh at the cool touch of metal on his warm skin. Wolff's heartbeat is strong and Klaber can feel the medic's eyes on him. "Breathe in." He says and the older man takes a long inhale, breathing life into his chest. "And out." Wolff exhales and Klaber can hear the even rise and fall of his lover's breaths, lungs and airways clear. Next, Klaber moves the bell to the other side, repeating the process. Still clear. He moves the bell onto Wolff's back, repeating the process two more times just to make sure. And also to revel in the soothing sound of Wolff's breathing, deep and slow. "That's all fine."

"You're doing wonderfully, Liebchen." Wolff says softly as Klaber places down the stethoscope.

"What kinda nurse would I be if I didn't know how to take care o' my own medic?" He replies with a shy smile and a warmth that surprises the both of them.

Next, Klaber reaches for the pen-light and the tongue depressor. He leans down and gently grasps Wolff's jaw, holding his head still, as the blonde flashes the light in one eye and then the other, watching the way the older man's pupils narrow and dilate. Wolff blinks a few times once Klaber pulls away and the blonde hums thoughtfully.

"Eyes seem fine." He says, pocketing the pen-light, and Wolff smiles, amused by his lover's studious approach. Klaber gently cradles the medic's head, fingers moving in circular motions to check for any lumps or abnormalities. Down the sides of his face, behind the ears, down his neck... Nothing. Good.

Klaber pauses then, eying the tongue depressor warily. He's been dreading this. He meets the medic's gaze, finding the older man patiently waiting, a gentle look in his eyes. "Stephan, you mind if I...?" He trails off, unsure if he should ask as he holds up the depressor, and Wolff chuckles softly.

"Do whatever you need to, Liebchen." Klaber can't help the sheepish smile that spreads across his lips. He's taken on the role of Wolff's nurse so many times but now, having the medic in the reverse position, leaves the blonde feeling a bit giddy. Wolff trusts Klaber and, though the blonde feels a bit self-conscious, he's determined to live up to the medic's expectations.

"O-Okay..." He says softly and Wolff hums. Klaber grasps for the tongue depressor, hands shaking slightly. He leans down, gently grasping the medic's jaw again, as he guides the depressor to Wolff's lips... God, those soft, pink, kissable lips... "Could you...open your mouth for me, Stephan?" He asks hesitantly and the older man instinctively parts his lips for him.

Klaber tries to think logically, scientifically (which is already difficult for a man like Klaber) but it doesn't help; he's staring deep into the maw that's taken his cock on many an occasion. The soft, silken tongue, the elegantly pointed teeth, the hot, wet throat... It makes him shudder with want, his cock throbbing in his pants despite his best efforts. "A — umm... — li'l' wider for me?" Klaber swallows thickly as Wolff obliges, sticking out his tongue obediently. Klaber has half a mind to toss the depressor aside and climb into the medic's lap, the urge to grind against him almost irresistible.

But, he doesn't. Instead, Klaber carefully examines his lover, looking for anything abnormal or concerning. Salivary glands look good, tonsils look normal, no sores or redness. Klaber curiously dips the depressor down further, grazing the medic's uvula, and Wolff lets out a soft moan as he gags, the wet noise sending a shiver down Klaber's spine, as the medic snaps his mouth shut with a shudder. "S-Sorry." Klaber murmurs, withdrawing the depressor.

"No, it's okay, Liebchen... Just a sensitive spot." The older man says as Klaber tucks the depressor away and Wolff gives him an appreciative look. Klaber can't help the way he's leaking into his pants. Christ, he's probably soaked through his briefs...

Dispensing with the tools, Klaber begins to pack everything away into Wolff's bag, giving the medic a clean bill of health (at least, in his novice opinion). He tries to stave off the heat that builds within him. This was nothing but a simple once-over just to make sure the medic is in tip-top shape and ready to tend to the team at a moment's notice. Sure, sex might happen later tonight but it's weird for Klaber to be so hard after listening to Wolff's deep, slow breathing, feeling the eager thump of his pulse and poking around in his mouth, making him gag—

"Nurse Klaber..." The voice is a melody in the air and Klaber turns, his eyes widening in realisation. Wolff is sliding off his pants and his underwear, parting his thighs and spreading himself open for the blonde, his cunt pink and swollen, dripping with need. Klaber swallows audibly, his cock aching in his pants, as Wolff beckons him with a seductive purr. "I think you missed a spot..." Klaber can't help but gawk, mouth suddenly dry, as the medic slips two fingers inside himself, the sound obscenely wet.

"Christ, Stephan..." He says softly and Wolff answers his name with a melodic hum.

"Please, tell me you have something to fix this. I'm burning up and I'm all wet and sticky." He sighs, a teasing lilt to his voice, and Klaber breaks out of his spell and nods eagerly, immediately forgetting about the doctor's bag and rushing to Wolff's side.

"Won't you take a look, Nurse?" Wolff purrs as Klaber settles between his legs, taking in the sweet, musky scent of his slick and drinking in the sight of his hot, wet, swollen cunt. Klaber decides to play along.

"Does it hurt?" He asks and Wolff shakes his head; no. Klaber braces his hands on the medic's inner thighs, heat radiating from the flesh as he pushes them further apart. Wolff lets out a soft moan as Klaber admires the medic's hole, glistening wet and begging to be touched.

"It's uncomfortable...and so hot." Wolff answers with a pout and Klaber nods.

"Maybe it needs a li'l' stimulation." He quips before he leans in, his tongue lapping at the medic's slick. God, he always tastes delicious but today it's so much more intense, thick and cloying. Wolff lets out a needy whine, his hips bucking ever-so slightly, as Klaber laps along his folds, his tongue grazing the medic's engorged clit. Klaber can't help the soft moan that wells up in his throat; the taste, the smell, the heat, it's all overwhelming.

"Ahhh... That's it... That's helping..." Wolff breathes as he passes a hand through Klaber's thick hair and the blonde shudders, his cock throbbing in his pants. He desperately wants to tug himself out and rock into his hand but, instead, he focuses on the task at hand. He seals his lips around the medic's clit, suckling gently between long, slow licks and, yeah, he's had way too much practice at this. He reaches up to slide two fingers inside and the older man lets out this desperate whimper that has Klaber moaning in sympathy. "Ohhh, Klaber..." Wolff rocks his hips against Klaber's face, the blonde eagerly lapping at him as his fingers curl and stroke.

"This helpin', Stephan?" Klaber asks, lifting his head for a moment, and Wolff nods desperately. "Can't have you under the weather."

"God, yes, Klaber, es ist perfekt. Du bist perfekt. Hör nicht auf... ¹" He replies and Klaber can't help but preen. To know that he can reduce the medic to a puddle of incoherence, his legs spread wide and his hole dripping with slick, has Klaber drunk with power.

"Y'know what'll help, Stephan? 'Ve got a very special injection for you." He purrs, pulling away for a moment and standing, shoving his pants and briefs down his thighs so his neglected cock is finally bared to the air. Christ, he's so turned on, pre-cum dripping from the slit in a steady flow. "Might be a li'l' big but we'll make it fit." He presses his hips forward, sliding his cock easily into Stephan's cunt. Klaber shudders, pleasure singing down his spine, as Wolff lets out this perfect, needy whine. "That feel better?" He asks and Stephan nods, his nails clawing at Klaber's forearms.

"Ja! Es fühlt sich gut an...!²" He cries, wrapping his legs around the blonde's waist and pulling him close. Klaber reaches for the medic's wrists, pinning his arms above his head, as the blonde sets a relentless pace, fucking into his lover's wet cunt with a desperation that ties them together.

"Fuck, you're so wet..." Klaber groans, Wolff arching underneath him, as the medic sobs with pleasure.

"Klaber, du von mich riecht... Scheiße, ich kann es riechen...³" He babbles and Klaber lets out a soft chuckle; yeah, he can smell Stephan's slick on his face, the musk coating his lips and clinging to his tongue. Klaber leans down, burying his face in the crook of the medic's neck, as his thrusts become messy and erratic.

"Stephan, you're... God, I can't... You're just... H-Hahh..." The blonde pants out as he snaps his hips against Stephan's over and over again, the both of them so close to cumming. "F-Fuck... Got your medicine, Stephan... I'll pump it nice and deep... You ready?" Klaber huffs out between gritted teeth as the medic's body begins to tighten and shudder around his cock.

"Ja , bitte...! Gib mir meine Medizin, Klaber...⁴" Wolff pleads and that's enough to push Klaber over the edge, filling the medic's wet cunt with his spend, Stephan whining underneath him as he cums. The world stops for a moment, the both of them awash with pleasure, before Klaber collapses on top of the medic, panting heavily...

The next morning, the corridor of the hotel is as quiet as one can expect, considering the previous night's...activities. As Wolff steps out of his and Klaber's room, he can't help but feel a mixture of contentment and a pleasant soreness that serves as a lingering reminder of the night before.

Cyrus is nearby, just closing the door to his and Hauke's room. When their eyes meet, there's an unspoken understanding that passes between the two friends. After all, they've both shared more than a few moments, like these, travelling together. Before Wolff can say anything, Cyrus shakes his head, a playful admonishment in his eyes.

"Do you have any idea how much secondhand embarrassment I went through last night, Stephan?" He asks. Wolff can't help but smirk, amusement breaking through his usual composure.

"Whatever do you mean, Herr Langstrom?" He sighs and the hitman scoffs.

"'Nurse Klaber', really?" Cyrus teases, his brow arching in mock disapproval. Wolff's cheeks flush crimson, and it only fuels Cyrus's amusement further. "Don't worry, we had to listen to the whole fucking thing. So thanks for that, Doctor." Wolff's response is quick and a touch defensive.

"It's not like you and Hauke are any quieter, Cyrus." He replies and, as if on cue, the door to Hauke and Cyrus's room opens again and Hauke steps out. He raises an eyebrow at the ongoing exchange. Cyrus grins and nods towards Wolff.

"Stephan's physical went well, Hauke. Klaber can be quite convincing, can't he?" Cyrus announces as he turns a presses a hand to the larger man's chest. Wolff's flush deepens as he clears his throat, feeling a bit on the spot.

Just then, the door to Klaber and Wolff's room swings open and the man himself steps out. He's combing his hair back, blue eyes wide and sparkling with rejuvenation after last night's romp. Hauke joins in, wearing an amused smirk.

"Good night, Klaber?" He asks, knowing full well how embarrassingly thin the walls of the hotel rooms can be. Klaber grins, seemingly unaware of the situation.

"For sure." He nods, pulling beside the doctor with a sly grin. Cyrus feigns a dramatic swoon, falling back against Hauke's chest.

"Oh, but to be young and in love." He says, with a theatrical flourish. Wolff finally regains his composure.

"And to have colleagues who should've been resting, last night."

Translations:

¹ "God, yes, Klaber, it's perfect. You're perfect. Don't stop..."

² "Yes! Feels good...!"

³ "You smell like me... Fuck, I can smell it..."

⁴ "Yes, please...! Give me my medicine, Klaber..."

A Series of Unfortunate Events: Gothic Hits

A Series of Unfortunate Events is a chapter book series written by Daniel Handler that follows the Baudelaire orphans and the treacherous ordeals that they experience. The first book, The Bad Beginning, was published in 1999, and was an instant hit. The series continued until 2006 with The End. The books waver between 162 and 368 pages. These books are considered to be gothic-esque, dark comedy, fictional children’s novels. I have also read the prequel series, All the Wrong Questions, which explores narrator Lemony Snicket’s first assignment in a failing town called Stain’d by the Sea. AtWQ is more like a film noir. Lemony Snicket, within ASOUE, is an older gentleman who’s lost a lot, and it shows in his monologues at times. He’s also intelligent and crafty, but can be cowardly at times. The title intrigues the reader, as life can be described as a series of unfortunate events, and it fits well with the text of the book. After all, the title warns the reader of misfortune, and Lemony consistently tries to prevent the consumer to cease reading of the unfortunate lives of these poor children. The illustrator is Brett L. Helquist, and his art is distinct, gothic, and absolutely gorgeous.

Our protagonists are the Baudelaire orphans, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny. They’re pretty stereotypical kid protagonists, being clever, kind, morally good, and polite. Each one has their own special talent. Violet is a fourteen-year-old inventor whose inventions save the trio time and time again. Klaus, twelve, is a massive bookworm with an impressive memory. Gladly, his research does come in handy a ton. Sunny’s the baby, and originally starts the series with a love of biting things, which evolves into a culinary interest. The overarching villain of the entire series is Count Olaf, an awful actor who plans to gain the Baudelaire fortune. He’s actually my favorite character. He’s terrible, violent, slimy, and unclean, yet he brings up good points about the world and society, especially in the twelfth book. The kids encounter several other characters, but I’ll keep them a secret just in case.

This satirical series has a lot of heart, and it treats its younger audience quite well, as Handler understands his audience’s intelligence. Not to mention, the series is dark enough for older audiences as well, and the literary references hit harder when you’ve read them. Hell, a ton of the lingering overarching mysteries have clues in the side works, and it’s up to the fans to figure it out. While some may complain about the writing style, I appreciate the humor it generates. The writing style is somewhat simplistic and repetition is a common sight, but the humor and the strangely specific definitions give it that spice. Is it somewhat annoying for there to be two full pages and the word “ever”? A bit, but it’s hilarious. There’s even a point where Snicket can’t describe a deadly fall into a dark place, so the page is just completely black. The books are written from Snicket’s point of view as he investigates their journey, making little quips foreshadowing or even spoiling certain events, such as a guardian’s death.

The series is built on subverting tropes and applying certain sayings quite literally for comedic and dramatic effect. In The Penultimate Peril, the hotel is called the Hotel Denouement. A denouement is the part of the story where the mysteries are solved and hanging threads are revealed, but Handler doesn’t answer any of our questions in the almost final chapter of the Baudelaire’s story. It’s brilliant. An example of a character taking a saying literally is a character named Babs who appears (or is rather heard) in The Hostile Hospital. She believes that if children are to be seen and not heard, then adults should be heard and not seen, so she hides in a booth and no one is able to see her face.

This series has more than wit, the subversion of tropes, and unfortunate events. It also has powerful themes of hope in times of great despair, the importance of family, and adults failing children even if they have the power to help due to their own issues. If you haven’t read this series since your childhood, I implore you to. If anything here has piqued your interest, well, check it out. You might be pleasantly surprised.

It's because we've commodified art and expression, even basic human spontaneity. I hardly know anyone these days who's capable of commenting on a piece of art or media without rating it, assessing its value, describing it outside of the dichotomy of "good" or "bad." Go on, try it. Look at some art right now and make an interesting, yet neutral observation about it. Notice the motifs or the lines and shapes or the composition. Reconnect with your ability to witness your own reality around you without treating it like a conveyor belt sushi joint whose sole purpose is to satisfy your consumption.

You think it's cringe? You're stuck in your own cringe brain with your hand asleep on the button that makes things feel cringe for so long that you forgot it was even there. Shit, why do you think artists painted so many goddamn sunsets before they collectively figured out how to draw blorbos? Because that shit's beautiful, and the sun didn't ask for your permission to exist for billions of years to provide you the conditions necessary to evolve like slime out of a petri dish with an inexplicable sense of opinion. Sunset don't give a fuck. Flowers don't give a fuck. Your true nature the first time you picked up a crayon didn't give a fuck, but it all went downhill for you once you forgot how to enjoy things because you wanted to enjoy the better thing. So what was the neutral observation you made?

Genuinely actually hate just how much cringe culture has absolutely demolished the online art scene. Look at literally anything from 2018 and you’ll see teenagers having an absolute blast and making whatever came to their minds even if it was dark or edgy or sad or silly or childish. They didn’t care if their art was mid they were just putting out whatever their little brains came up with. Now everyone around me and myself included worries about doing literally anything with our art, or making bad art, in fear of coming off as “too pretentious” or “too dark” or “too silly” or “too sad” and it breaks my heart. “Cringe culture is dead” and all but the effects are very much still felt. Idk about y’all but I cannot name a single artist I know nowadays that isn’t afraid of coming off as “cringey”

Moreover, creative combinations involving exotic fruits, aromatic spices, and indulgent add-ins like mochi and kinako have been embraced, adding depth and excitement to the vegan ice cream experience. This bold approach to flavor innovation showcases the industry’s commitment to satisfying evolving consumer demands and elevates vegan ice cream to an artful and enticing category of frozen treats.

Mochi ice cream envelops ice cream within a soft mochi shell. Japan’s convenience stores readily offer this delicacy, reflecting its widespread popularity. Notably, mochi ice cream is inclusive, adhering to vegan and gluten-free preferences, making it a delightful choice for a diverse range of discerning palates.

Growing Popularity of Veganism in Japan

The ascent of veganism in Japan has significantly transformed the country’s ice cream market. Fueled by heightened environmental awareness, health consciousness, and ethical considerations, many Japanese consumers are embracing plant-based diets. The shift has propelled the demand for vegan ice cream, which aligns with these evolving preferences. As more individuals opt for cruelty-free and sustainable choices, manufacturers respond with diverse and appealing dairy-free frozen treats. The growing popularity of veganism has prompted both established and emerging players to invest in innovative flavors and production techniques, creating a robust ecosystem that caters to a broad spectrum of tastes while reshaping the landscape of the Japan vegan ice cream market.

Increasing Availability in Restaurants and Cafes

A noteworthy trend shaping the Japan vegan ice cream market is the surging availability of plant-based ice cream offerings in restaurants and cafes. As the demand for vegan options gains momentum, eateries nationwide are responding by incorporating diverse and delicious dairy-free frozen treats into their menus. The shift underscores the evolving consumer preferences and the recognition of the market potential for vegan ice cream. Individuals seeking cruelty-free, lactose-free, and environmentally conscious choices from Tokyo to regional towns can relish various flavors and textures, further propelling the market’s growth while catering to a wider spectrum of tastes and dietary requirements.

For example, Green Hospitality Management Co., Ltd. has unveiled its plan to introduce vegan ice cream at Hotel Grandbach Tokyo Ginza starting September 1, 2023. Developed in collaboration with 8ablish, a brand specializing in vegan desserts, the offering aptly named “The Vegan Ice Cream” adheres to the ethos of being health-conscious, environmentally friendly, and inclusive. Boasting a collection of six distinct flavors, this original creation promises a delectable and conscientious frozen treat experience.

Impact of COVID-19

The pandemic has significantly influenced the Japan vegan ice cream market, introducing a mix of challenges and opportunities. While the initial lockdowns and restrictions temporarily disrupted supply chains and impacted consumer spending, the crisis propelled heightened health and wellness awareness. Consequently, consciousness encouraged individuals to explore plant-based diets, driving demand for vegan products, including ice cream. As people sought both comfort and healthier alternatives, vegan ice cream gained traction as a guilt-free indulgence. Furthermore, the rise of online shopping and food delivery services during the pandemic facilitated accessibility to vegan offerings, allowing manufacturers to adapt and expand their distribution strategies. As the situation evolved, the market continues to be shaped by changing consumer behaviors and broader economic landscape.

lamps, lenses, and lost time //

An act of weaving a story, of crafting a protagonist from the '80s Bengaluru —a vocation. In this case, not just storytelling-it's about immersing in a world that once was, not treating it as a task of storytelling, but as a longing to know how it would've been to live in Bengaluru in the '80s.

In the unhurried charm of '80s Bangalore, a city still half-asleep in the embrace of its gardens and the soft buzz of two-stroke engines, there lived a man who seemed to carry the essence of an entire era within him. He was a documentary photographer, though to label him so was to miss the poetry of his existence.

Always clad in muted, dark-toned attire, the camera was accompanying him all times, suspended casually across his chest, and a weathered leather bag at his side. His sunglasses hid eyes that seemed perpetually lost in thought. He rode a Yezdi sometimes, mostly used public transports.

His home, a snug 2BHK studio, lamps bathed the walls in warm tones, as though he had invited the golden hour to stay forever.

One room he had dedicated entirely to his passions—a studio where a typewriter clattered, an easel smeared with half finished portraits, a metal trunk held his journal, art and a collection of disconnected annotations archives in ordered chaos, his library defied modesty, shelves groaned under the weight of an absurdly vast collection-sometimes duplicates of the same title, as though one could never have too much of Dostovesky or Adiga.

Towering stacks in the room, creating impromptu side tables of precariously balanced wisdom, where coffee mugs rested atop Karanth and Kafka. The space felt less like a room and more like

—a temple to literary obsession, leaving onlookers staggered by the sheer impossibility of it all, watched over by a wooden chair that awaited his return each night.

His leisure hours belonged to Bangalore's enduring cafes and modest eateries-watching the world go by, sometimes he'd be seen scribbling in his leather journal, other times lost in a book.

Evenings found him in the company of impassioned debates, kindred-like-minded dreamers who shared his fiery passion for art, literature, cinema and culture. They immersed themselves in lively debates and earnest aspirations with coffee cups and masal dose as witnesses. All united by a common goal: to elevate their craft to the poetic elegance of Ray or the profound depth of Kasarvalli & Adoor. Their conversations, a blend of sharp wit and passionate conviction, weren't confined to art alone; they were driven by a shared commitment to preserve and nurture the rich cultural heritage they held dear in an ever-evolving world.

His existence was a film playing softly in grainy 16mm sepia-a perfect, unfinished reel of a life lived deliberately, beautifully, and always, always in pursuit of the next great frame.
