moth-eatn: Runner - My final project from my drawing class with Jake Parker The story revolves around a young Korean-American track athlete who goes to live in Nigeria in the hopes of learning from some of the legendary African runners who dominate the sport.  He ends up living in a city that was built over a wildlife reservation, and is as a result haunted by the ghosts of the animals that once lived there.  These animal ghosts attach themselves to individuals to whom they feel a certain affinity, causing them to adopt peculiar behaviors.  One such individual, a Nigerian man posessed by the spirit of a crazed hyena, goes about using live hyenas to terrorize civilians in an attempt to drive them from the city so that the area might return to its wild state.  Meanwhile, our Asian protagonist is visited by the spirit of a benevolent cheetah who is drawn to him by their common obsession with speed.  The two band together, becoming a sort of vigilante force, and fight to stop the man behind the hyena attacks. moth-eatn: Runner - My final project from my drawing class with Jake Parker The story revolves around a young Korean-American track athlete who goes to live in Nigeria in

Good. sudden flashbacks to Everworld  This is a thing that I’ve been dwelling on: the alternative development of aesthetics. The short and sweet version is that we tend to associate certain patterns of clothing, decoration, and ritual with different kinds of behavior. It’s a worldwide thing, and mostly unconscious. Men around the world wear European suits when they’re doing business, unless they have a particular reason not to. Facial tattoos are for ‘primitive’ tribes and members of Western countercultures. Essentially the same furniture and building styles are seen throughout the wealthy parts of the world, and showing the different methods used by other cultures is meant to show how primitive they are. This is all, of course, horseshit. Art, fashion, motifs—they’re all just the window-dressing of a culture, and say little about how advanced or worthwhile it is. The prevalence of European styles in architecture and clothing isn’t because they’re just better than the rest of the world’s styles, it’s because European culturally brutalized the rest of the world and other cultures had to change to blend in. What if things had turned out differently? What if some culture had stood as another example of what could be? What if more and more advanced technology had been molded into those alternate aesthetics? What might the world have seen? (Slightly tangentally: This is why I’m okay with Zecora in MLP.
