just some writing
Nov. 27th, 2024 10:26 pmfinally getting back into the Aperture Record - partially because I had 5 whole days off (why? not a clue) and partially because I fear if I don't do something creative soon I'll explode into a pile of goo. the stress of an impending move and issues with apartment accommodations is piling up and I need the escape of fun writing right now
anyway! I'm slowly filling in the gaps between the chunks of part 1 that I've already written. once I cover all the gaps I'll probably go through and do a rewrite, since this is still very much rough draft state... but of course who knows how long it'll take me to get there. I'm making progress, at least!
here's a few paragraphs I wrote today, the beginnings of a Situationist interpretation of Aperture as a physical location, drawing inspiration from Guy Debord's Society of the Spectacle and (eventually, not yet mentioned here-) Baudrillard's Precession of Simulacra.
I'm also doing a bit of extraneous writing that will be hidden in little links and buttons around different webpages. this one will be related to a later chapter on glados and caroline:
( Read more... )
as is my brain's wont, I am also just starting to get into learning music theory, and may or may not try to make some portal-inspired stuff in the future. that, however, is still the very beginning of an idea still rattling around in my brain, so as much as the idea excites me, I'm not focusing on it too much.
but one day.... the website just might have some musical elements to it as well. we shall see!
I was never too musically inclined - my brother was the band kid, and he went really far with this music! but that kind of just put me off learning anything about music for a long time. he was the musical prodigy, after all, and I was the art kid. I liked to stay in my (self-determined, completely imaginary) lane when I was younger. now, though, it's kind of exciting to branch out into so many different things and try them all! looking forward to learning how in the hell music is made, because right now it's basically magic to me.
anyway, back to writing for me. or reading, rather - still haven't finished Society of the Spectacle despite being partially through an entire chapter referencing it.
