Damn.
Ok, here's what I need you to do:

Alter the timeline so that this isn't happening, then reply again with something that doesn't make me want to dissolve.

Dare I ask, what is "sora slop"?

This is made to happen by a symbol of the real, forcing it's way into the fantasy world, causing everything to rotate in a vortex around it.

The phonebox.
The wicker man itself.

As their actions bring them fully into the fantasy, they must dissolve it to escape. But fantasy dissolved back into reality is always a nightmare.

One of being burned alive, the other of becoming a prisoner of desire unsated. Both trapped forever.

The fantasy is one of a reactionary past, as inaccessible and terrifying as it is seductive.

Our heroes cannot stand this, and go about trying to bring it to an end.

They do so all the while becoming trapped within it.

Right here's the thing, The Wicker Man and Local Hero are the same film, but from different perspectives.

In both cases a reluctant virginal man is sent into an enchanted realm of fantasy, to discharge a duty that will end it.

Concerned I've lead a life so devoid of interest, that the SOLARIS planet wouldn't have enough to go on to create a visitor for me.

Idk if Brook is well known outside of the UK, but it's pretty wild.

Entitled consumerist mindset in action. Art viewed at a set of commodities to be bought and sold. Have it your way, etc 😔

Sadly I don't think any of the people involved are capable of overcoming the back-bench psychology of factionalism, and influence of celebrity. Embarrassing mess.

He's writing from the perspective of a very different set of social norms and conceptual priors. It's certainly interesting 🤔

This dumb tweet or whatever is more popular than any of my artwork. What an abyss.

The sad thing is that this could be about an enormous number of sets of stuff happening. There's just too much.

I'm not an idealist but things can only be understood via my ability to symbolise them within an abstract system of thought so

Materialism vs Idealism is the central ideological conflict!!!

It's the most depressing shite.
The exact thing we all said about capital and fascism is happening yet again, and it's unbelievably boring and mundane and obvious. Despair.

Ask this guy if he has any critiques of violent criminals or whatever. Seems like it's actually him who he has
set up to defeat his own position.

Thanks for the reblogging of recent posts.
I get very little attention or traction with any of my art, and I accept that for what it is- unpopularity- and move on. However it can be rather depressing.
