Will post or reblog fannish stuff, pretty stuff, stuff that makes me go 'aww.' Personal: queer cis female, white, prone to being happily soppy about my wife.

I really like how many of the world’s most iconic structures and places are just right next to some of the most mundane stuff imaginable, for example

image

Stonehenge

image

Is right next to a busy road

image

The Pyramids of Giza

image

Are at the outskirts of Cairo

image

Niagara Falls

image

Are part of the town of the same name

image

And Agrippa’s Pantheon

image

Is crammed inside downtown Rome

It just so interesting to notice.

I lived in Nîmes for three years, and the mundane feeling I got whenever I would walk from my apartment, by the Roman coloseum in the city which was 2000+ years old, and continue with my life because it was just sort of there still surprises me when I think about it.

This post is just that feeling put into words and pictures.

Making the heroic mundane is what cities do. Living in Lower Manhattan at any time in the past 50 years means you’re (not) looking at the New York Stock Exchange (it’s kinda slantwise on a side street), Federal Hall (on Wall Street snugly flanked by routine office buildings), and both iterations of the World Trade Center (‘heroic" in the architectural sense but my local 24-hour drugstore in the basement) every time you leave your apartment.

New York City spawned those sites and structures, and the OP’s examples existed before the nearby modernity was created, but the affect is the same, I think: we go about our daily business in our well-worn routines, and as we pass the Library of Alexandria for the 943rd time, we flash on just how cool it is to have a secret spot in back of the lighthouse where we can smoke a joint on top of history, undisturbed.

Firstly, let me congratulate you on your St. Louis award. In your acceptance speech, you mentioned about being regarded as 'being below the gutter' by others for writing comic books. Have you suffered negative comments/or derision in the past, as I have, for creating comics?

When I went to St Louis in 1998 to talk at Washington University the English Dept boycotted the talk and the visit because, I was told, I wrote comics. So yes, lots of negativity and derision, but much more winning awards for comics that comics weren’t allowed to win, being the first person to bring a graphic novel onto the NYT Bestseller list, and getting comics onto course syllabi for the first time. And the overcoming of obstacles would have meant much less if the obstacles hadn’t been there to overcome.

I feel like the English Department did not show themselves to best advantage in this exchange.

You shouldn’t date or become serious friends/partners with someone if you can’t stomach the thought of being stuck in a car or train with them for 16 hours.

Here’s my logic:

  • You should be able to work together to solve unexpected problems like fixing a flat tire or getting lost in an unfamiliar station
  • You should feel comfortable and safe enough around this person that you can sit in comfortable silence
  • You should be able to keep each other interested and deal with each others boredom in a healthy way
  • If you’re gonna form a long term partnership with someone you should probably be able to tolerate each other while locked in a small box for a few hours
