Poem: And yet, the Earth still turns

UPDATE: Uploaded to another portfolio (I'm organising my things, separating my works more closely connected to things not under my alias)

They die painted with the shame of lethargy

And "ill use of time" writes the words of their grave.

Rotting beneath, honoured only by family,

And no single opus to match with their name.

One day they'll be known by no one who lives

And moments ahead, their preserved thoughts will follow.

Laugh at the ambitious with no work to give,

Whose goals fall victim to the void that swallows.

New notebook alert! :D

May I present to you the notebook containing my favourite snippets from media texts:

Bought from my local Coles and made from recycled paper which is pretty neat.

It includes, and will include snippets from fiction, poetry, songs, films, series, comics/manga, documentaries, video games, and any other media text type that I haven't mentioned. I've got a feeling this will make a pretty good place for inspiration and looking back at some of my favourite passages and whatnot for writing and all that. Here's the first entry:

Poem: Scrap Metal

A piece of scrap metal lying in the heap.

Wonder what it's doing there,

Thinking of the things it could possibly be

If it ever cared?

A piece of scrap metal lying in the heap.

At the fog and dust, it stared,

Waiting on any given opportunity

If ever there were...

Ones

To begin with at all

Yes, of course there were ones

To begin with at all

Ones to begin with at all

Narrative and Aesthetics - The narrative and aesthetic decisions of The Incredibles (2004)

UPDATE: Uploaded to another portfolio (I'm organising my things, separating my works more closely connected to things not under my alias)

It is without a doubt that over the years Disney and Pixar’s animated films have captured the hearts of many, and Brad Bird’s The Incredibles (2004) clearly makes the cut. The Incredibles is set in a universe where there exists certain people who possess superpowers. However, due to changes in the law, superheroes are made illegal, forcing supers to live and work jobs without using their powers, disguising themselves as ordinary people. The story is told from the perspective of Bob Parr, a former superhero who works at an insurance company. After eventually getting fired from his job, he grabs the opportunity to do hero work under a top secret organisation that not even his family is aware about. Soon, his wife, Helen Parr, starts to get suspicious of Bob and attempts to track him down, only to discover that he has fallen into a superhero-hunting trap organised by Syndrome, a former fan rejected by Bob. Being an animated film produced by Disney and Pixar, already audiences expect family-friendly content from the film. However, The Incredibles manages to tell a significantly more unique story than their previous works, as well as even surprise audiences by being the first Pixar feature film to receive a PG rating (Filmsite n.d). 

Short Notes #1 - Horror

I like when scares in horror are actually slow. Y'know the stuff where the scare is being slowly brought over to you instead of giving you a shock. It's that feeling of dread is so chilling.

Like, I accidentally misclicked on this video and the thing that creeped me out the most was the slowly appearing veins on the screen. But, then again, there's also my sensitivity to body horror, so there's that, haha,
