you speak as though to be gentle is to be naive.

As if gentleness was not a deliberate action. The softening of calloused hands to cup a warm, chirping clump of downy feathers, the careful curl of joints around fragile, vital stems to inspect their blooms.

As if gentleness was not the conscious effort to reach with intention, without safeguards,

and offer what the world will not.

Silmarillion Cosplay in Hanfu(汉服)

We have thought of characters from the Silmarillion in our traditional Chinese Hanfu so we've worked for a long time to make it happen. Finally we did this! We did worry that it would be weird for these characters in eastern Asian costumes but it turns out that it looks ok for us.

Thank you so much to everyone in this project, especially cosplayers and photographers!

Cast:

Maedhros/ Celegorm/ Feanor/ Fingolfin: 云启

Fingon/ Aredhel: Ehtele

Galadriel/ Turgon: 雪饼

Finrod/ Earendil: Rey

Anaire: 翡翠

Miriel: 随音（me）

P.S. Funny things in details😉

If you're looking at the SW novelizations, I personally quite liked both Tarkin by James Luceno, as well as A New Dawn (the prequel about Kanan & Hera's backstory) by John Jackson Miller.

I enjoyed the start of the Kanan comics, but I confess I only read the first handful of issues and didn't get into them very far, so I can't speak to their quality as a longer arc.

Reflection on Winter

Here, I will share some of my works along with my trivial writings.

As this is a format where long texts are interspersed with "Unrelated" works, I hope it can be appreciated as such.

Please forgive the incomplete translation.

---

Since I was a child, I have been dominated by an insatiable desire for someone to listen to me and understand me.

Because of this, controlling my emotions has always been difficult, and creating serene Animations became the only way to suppress those feelings.

Through painting, I found work and gained a sense of self-worth, and I finally reached a point where I could remain calm enough to read books. (Come to think of it, it was Tumblr over a decade ago that appreciated my pixel art and built a bridge to my present!!)

However, at some point, I forgot who it was I wanted to understand me and why it mattered in the first place.

As I poured my thoughts into words and delved deeper into reflection, I realized that philosophy and reading could help me in this pursuit of being understood.

However, by the time I reached that realization, I had also acquired an unsettling awareness that language dulls the visual senses.

In fact, it imparted a slight sense of symbolism to my artwork, while dulling its intuitive qualities.

This conflict likely explains why my art oscillates between symbolic representation and intuitive visual expression.

It has grown more pronounced this year. It also explains why I’ve found myself engaging in this sort of self-reflection more often than ever before.

My works exist in a complementary relationship with my self-reflection.

However, this is by no means a teleological approach—it is rooted in intrinsic impulses.

I simply, purely, and genuinely enjoy things like Gas stations on winter nights, side entrances of public facilities, rural port towns, or the colors of 100-yen lighters. That’s all there is to it, and that’s why I paint.

Please don’t worry. Unlike in the past, I would never even consider taking my own life.

I’m too curious about what I’ll paint next. I love my art.

For that reason, I ask for your understanding regarding my extremely poor productivity and my reliance on your support.

Dear friends, thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to the next year together.

P.S.

If you'd like to support my work and activities, please consider becoming my $1 patron.v

Thanks.
