Mainly here to read and sometimes write, i draw things when i feel like it.

Mediocre english.

@VK_HM Lain to me feels too much like a product of it's time. Internet was scary and every expert was predicting how the internet was going to make the digital and the real hard to discern. In the end internet is much more tame. Just look at tik-tok.

@XMihura @saunacr7 No son bonitas al uso pero yo le he acabado encontrando su encanto.
El feismo gallego es casi japonés o surcoreano en espíritu. El individualismo constructivo parece desligado totalmente de la cultura colectivista propia de estas regiones.

Vigo y Nagasaki se dan un aire.

Funniest thing about the plum pudding model is that Thomson proposed it after Jean Perrin had already made a pretty good guess by the standards of the era about how an atom might have looked like.

[Noah Garfinkel @NoahGarfinkel]

Physicist 120 years ago: Maybe the inside of an atom is like plum pudding.

Physicist today: Light doesn’t experience time. All this shit might not even be real.

The message of the ending will be something like a "one piece of humanity" in Oda's fantasy world.

[Vermilion🛰️ @Vermilioncito]

The one piece will be composed of every forum message, twitter post or fan letter sent to Oda itself speculating about what the one piece is, materializing in front of luffy and crew in a fourth wall breaking episode as if they were gifts from fans.

I have a theory the One Piece was gonna be something like this and Oda was PISSED when Kungfu Panda dropped

[Franz @FranzJoseph145]

@j3lqingt0n No, the experts agree on this as well. The shitty politically correct headlines obfuscate true consensus

@lloc4030 @msmidala More interesting is this page from a trial in 1865 wich already shows how developed commercial photography was at a time when it was mostly foreigners that took pictures in japan.

@lloc4030 @msmidala "photocard is from japan" ? Maybe in an asian context and the ones that influenced the korean subculture trace their origins to Japan but the west had already been into collecting photos of famous people like those "bromides" by the late 19th century.

The Blue Duchess (1898).

Una marca de la americana Pepsi-co a la que los maduros en este país idolatran, por nostalgia, creyendo que era el refresco carbonatado nacional antes de la irrupción de la malvada "Fanta" de Coca-Cola.

[lesbiana del rey @lesb1anadelreyy]

que coño es un mirinda

[Vermilion🛰️ @Vermilioncito]

@lesb1anadelreyy A diferencia de lo que muchos creen y aseguran, Mirinda ha sido siempre americana, Pepsi-Co parece haber creado la marca bajo tal nombre para comercializar su "fanta" en una época de autarquía.

Don't know about that but the wave direction and overall composition is sometimes pointed out as a western painting influence on Hokusai.

[The Lady of the Green Kirtle @ladygreenkirtle]

Someone told me that English (etc) people read paintings the way we read words (left to right) so we think the wave is swallowing the boats, but in Japan they read paintings right to left, so the boats are conquering the waves. Not sure if this is nonsense or not.

[Vermilion🛰️ @Vermilioncito]

@ShimazuSystems It also is not exactly unique, any movie that had to do with computers from the 80s kinda looks like that due to being the common graphics computers could support back then.
2001: Space Odyssey kinda looks similar too.
It's charm is in the abstractness and 1970s Plato-like look.

A mi personalmente y por mencionar una ciudad de la que hablan en los comentarios, Turin no me pareció la gran cosa.
De hecho su estructura me recordó a esas ciudades canadienses y del noreste americano. Sus calles son muy anchas para mi gusto, se siente una ciudad vacía.

[Vermilion🛰️ @Vermilioncito]

Algo que me extraña de los fans del ciclismo es que a veces hablan de la estética de un lugar o ciudad pero te lo cuentan basandose en los recorridos de los circuitos.
Su visión del mundo está anclada a la vista de un helicóptero.

[Cuadernos del Ventoux @CdelVentoux]

Entiendo las comparaciones entre España e Italia, pero el motivo fundamental por el que Italia es más estética y aspiracional que España no es el "márketing" sino... Italia en sí misma, un país sin parangón.

[Vermilion🛰️ @Vermilioncito]

@mantequino @croooozin For everyone saying it has been a thing in japan for longer than in english, do you have a source of the origin?

Daffy Duck in "Daffy Duck in Hollywood" was doing it in the late 30s

[Vermilion🛰️ @Vermilioncito]

Funniest part about the interactions with this post is people assuming the post implies Lynch copied Kon, maybe letterboxd is saying the opposite since Lost Highway premiered before Perfect Blue, dumb either way.

[Letterboxd @letterboxd]

Perfect Blue (1997) / Lost Highway (1997) 📹

@neogeo8man *tapestry *column *11th century

God, I swear I'm just half asleep half illiterate

[Vermilion🛰️ @Vermilioncito]

@neogeo8man That sequential art existed in japan before western influence is obvious, as it was common in almost every culture, are the Bayeux Trapesrtry or the Trajan's Columm comics though? Most comic historians would disagree, is Stephen Harding's Bible from the 11th a comic? Pic related

[Vermilion🛰️ @Vermilioncito]

@neogeo8man Usually historians separate between similar precedents but that don't share a defined timeline with the modern form from direct influences, , that a proto speech bubble was found in ancient roman jordania doesn't mean modern speech bubbles came from there.

@sangowataisetsu Even if this place was the last platform that allowed their creativeness to thrive they are wasting it.
Just look at how most of the american artists that post here are usually left leaning and their output is far more varied than "newspaper political cartoon n°1264".

[Vermilion🛰️ @Vermilioncito]

@sangowataisetsu They produce memes and are quite influential when it comes to create new slang but you could consider that to be folklore, and contributing to folklore while being important doesn't make them less bitter about not having a say in the high arts.
