“I wanted to do [an fight sequence] where the characters are immersed in action. But it’s a hard sell. It takes a lot of commitment. The logistics are not easy. You can’t change things in editorial. So it’s always a big ask. When it was my own movie, it became a lot easier to say, this is the bold choice we want to make, so let’s do it…We spent four days filming in stairwell. It involved using a lot of old-school camera tricks—pans, wipes, body-crossings—that allowed us editorially to have breaks, to choose between takes, but so it would never feel like we cut out. But the pieces we stitched together were really long, some as long as two minutes.” – Director David Leitch
Faig Ahmed Creates Psychedelic Rugs From Traditional Azerbaijani Textiles
Faig Ahmed’s latest project focuses on making contemporary carpets from classical Azerbaijani textiles. Ahmed graduated from the Azerbaijan State Academy of Fine Art in Baku in 2004. His background as an artist covers painting, video and installation as well as other mediums; however, his attention is currently focused on working with textile and sculpture.
Traditional Azerbaijani carpets rely heavily on geometric and symmetrical patterns, stemming from historical influence. The carpets are usually limited to be rectangular or square in shape. By dismantling the laws that govern the structure and pattern of these fabrics, Ahmed converges his love of ancient culture to create a psychedelic visualization. By refurbishing the traditional compositions into a contemporary sculpture, he disassembles their stable nature and injects motion into a pre-existing lifeless object.
The patterns break away from their rigid symmetry and melt away from the tapestry into a colorful puddle. Ahmed also adds a digital effect to the rugs by pixelating fragments and blank spaces on the drapery. Overall, the artist intentionally creates an interesting union between contemporary art and ancient Azerbaijani roots.
Minors: why are you personally attacking me personally?
Adults: ….????????…………
Minors: I know you want to fuck children
Me: *looks at fic with one character that’s in his 40′s and another that’s in his 50′s, with no children in sight*
Me: ………please get out of my house
(I still get a lot of responses to this post calling me a pedo and I am t i r e d of this bottom-of-the-barrel quality discourse)
* this obviously doesn’t apply to all minors, and to all those minors (like me, when I was your age!) that manage to enjoy and participate in fandom without calling everyone a pedophile, I appreciate you.
Adults: we want to write/draw porn of these fictional adult characters.
Minors: that’s not appropriate for children.
Adults: yep! that’s why it’s tagged as explicit and has a warning for mature content and also is tagged for various sex acts in case you’re not into that.
Minors: that type of content makes me uncomfortable.
Adults: we totally get that but that’s why the tags and warnings are on it.
Adults: look you even have to agree:
This work could have adult content. If you proceed you have agreed that you are willing to see such content.
Adults: so if you’re not into that type of thing then you can just skip over it.
Minors: it make me uncomfortable.
Adults: ……then… don’t… read it?
Minors: no.
Minors: you should stop writing it.
Adults: no.
JUST FUCKING SAYING
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If you’re old enough to be using the internet unsupervised, then you’re old enough to be learn how to avoid content that upsets you. Adult fans and content creators are not here to be your babysitters.
if it happened at all, it happened like that
