In which we get updates from the lives of tropers. Kinda like Twitter with more than 140 characters, but less than a blog or LJ.
Please refrain from excess venting in this thread. Talking about negative emotions is fine but it's best not to dwell on them for too long. TV Tropes is not suited to deal with mental health situations.

You know what else is stupid and dumb?
TF2 Gmod videos.
Sometimes, they're stupid and dumb in the best way possible, though.

I think that Art Nouveau is both my new favorite and my new least favorite art period.
Ecstasy is Sustained IntensityWell, ignoring the architectural aspect of the period, which I'm not terribly familiar with, the visual mediums are some of the most beautiful works I've seen, though it's a period riddled with cliches.
This stems from the visual mediums being prepared primarily for popular consumption in printed media.
Ecstasy is Sustained IntensityY'see, Art Deco is a little too industrial for my tastes. Everything's a little too clean.
I should look up more impressionism, too. I don't know much from the period outside of the music.

Ecstasy is Sustained Intensity^^ The art style's really neat-looking! :3 It's all visible brush strokes and bright colours. :3 It's what the aesthetic of Skyward Sword was based on! :3
^ Huh. :o

^I have a passing familiarity with Monet. From what I remember, it doesn't give concrete definition to any of the subject matter, and plays off of the human mind's abilities to make associations.

Ecstasy is Sustained IntensityFor some reason I associate "Art Nouveau" with ITC Korinna
and ITC Benguiat.
The latter is rather ostentatious and over-the-top, so I guess it matches the aesthetic.

I think too much satire of the 50s has probably played a large role in my dislike for Art Deco >.>
Or maybe it's WWI satire....
This is why I need to learn more about art history!

Ecstasy is Sustained IntensityI think it's still Art Deco, but I'm not sure.
Wikipedia has an automotive safety poster from the 1940s in the gallery of its Art Deco page, but I dunno for sure.
Ecstasy is Sustained IntensityGuess what this video
taught me?
THAT THE VERY IDEA OF SANITY IS A LIE, HUMANITY IS AN ABOMINATION, AND THERE IS NO LOVING GOD.
