Taski Maiden And Why She's My Favourite

ever since dream bbq got announced a few years ago, I've always been drawn to taski maiden - not only because she's silly, but also because her design is deeply fascinating to me, as it's rich in history. I haven't seen any posts discussing it yet, so I thought I'd make one!

the thing about taski maiden is that her design is very rooted in mesoamerican art. her appearance is heavily based on the textiles made by the chimú, who inhabited the coasts of what is now perú and were one of the most prolific empires of pre-columbus america - check these out!

if you look at the second image specifically - which shows chimú warriors - you can see how closely the top left figure matches taski!

in fact, all of her forms share the same colour scheme present in most chimú textiles: red, yellow, white, and black.

the little guys she's carrying are based on it, too! their face is a perfect match to the creatures the warriors are holding.

speaking of the little guys, the cloth taski is carrying them in is actually an aguayo! its a rectangular cloth used by various south american cultures to carry items and small children in.

final fun fact: taski is a quechua word that roughly translates to young woman or virgin.

and that's about it! as a south american person myself, I just think it's amazing to get a design that draws from our historical art and culture. just makes me love this series even more :]

david lynch understood on a fundamental level how abusive and exploitative the world is to those with the least power, particularly women and children. he created an entire lifetime's worth of cinematically and narratively groundbreaking work trying to grapple with that hostility and abuse, trying to reconcile the evil that exists in the hearts of everyday men with the goodness he saw there as well. he made survivors of unspeakable trauma feel seen and known in a way that few artists ever have and ever will, and never once shied away from the truth he knew and believed: that we are all innocent, that what has been done to you is not who you are, and even in times of abject despair, there are people who love you, who will not forget you or stop trying to save or defend or avenge you. i don't want that to go without notice. many people are mourning him for different reasons, and i agree, he was one of the greatest and most imaginative artists to ever be given free reign to paint on a cinematic canvas. but first and foremost, david lynch was an artist of enormous empathy, and i think those of us who saw ourselves in his work because of the empathy it afforded us are grieving particularly hard today.

his memory will always be a blessing.

[ID: A 3 Page Comic Of Mob And Teru From Mob Psycho 100, With A Monochrome Pink/red Palette And White

[ID: a 3 page comic of mob and teru from mob psycho 100, with a monochrome pink/red palette and white background. mob and teru are sitting next to each other, teru rambling on about something and mob is quietly listening. mob looks at the pants teru is wearing, jeans with heart cutouts all over them. he reaches out to poke at teru's leg through one of the cutouts, absentmindedly. they share a pause of silence before mob realizes what happened and says "oh- I'm sorry," and teru responds, "haha, that's okay". teru then asks mob. "is there something wrong?. mob is flustered and says, "uh- no just, there's a lot of cutouts.. wouldn't shorts be more comfortable?" teru, also flustered, says "uh- well, i guess it isn't the most comfortable, but, i think it looks good, you know? and sometimes i get compliments, makes it worth it..." the last panel is a close-up of mob and teru's hands, slight touching, with more saturation at the point of contact. mob says, "that makes sense. they do look good on you", teru says "thanks" END ID]
