“One of the most begrudging avian take-offs is the heron’s fucking hell, all right, all right, I’ll go the garage for your flaming fags cranky departure, though once they’re up their flight can be extravagant. I watched one big spender climb the thermal staircase, a calorific waterspout of frogs and sticklebacks, the undercarriage down and trailing. Seen from antiquity you gain the Icarus thing; seen from my childhood that cursing man sets out for Superkings, though the heron cares for neither as it struggles into its wings then soars sunwards and throws its huge overcoat across the earth.”

Invisible Cities is a funny book because Marco Polo starts describing increasingly more fantastical made-up cities until Kublai Khan is like okay what are you talking about and Polo is like Gotcha bro, this whole time I've been talking about Venice, the most fantastically made-up city to ever actually exist

i love the artistic stylings of studio ghibli as much as anyone else does but im kind of sick of anything with like vivid environments and big blue skies being branded as ghibliesque. because its like. you know where else you can hypothetically find some vivid environments with big blue skies? my friend the great and wonderful outdoors are here for you

If you think the outdoors is “ghibliesque” from a purely aesthetic perspective I have to genuinely ask if you’re nearsighted.

Ghibli films have incredible detail in their landscapes sure but they also use simplified shapes and forced perspective through the use of blurriness that would be on par with nearsightedness.

Nature is beautiful but it’s beautiful in a Skyrim hyper detailed realism type way not a soft mystical Ghibli fantasy type way

If you think the outdoors is "skyrimesque" from a purely aesthetic perspective I have to genuinely ask if you're on Todd Howards payroll
