I started working on making a polymer clay doll yesterday. This is the frame. There’s another one I haven’t finished yet, but I might post it some other time.
Also, life update; I finished a game making class last week, it was fun. I worked with a partner to make a 2d platformer. The thing was setup by a group called BlackRocket, and they helped a lot with the errors we had. My teacher, Ms. Lisa Pearlman, was really cool. I found out she likes “Hamilton”! So we talked about it a bit( you know, how good the music is, how expensive the tickets are), and one the last day of class we listened to the cast recording! Not only that, but I also got a chance to rap “Guns and Ships” for the class twice! The game my partner and I made is pretty random, but I like it.
This week, I’ve started taking a math refresher course. It’s pretty ok, but the teacher seemed pretty disappointed one the first day because only 6 kids signed up for the class, and only 1 person had a textbook. The thing is, no one ever told us we needed to go out and buy a textbook. And the shipment of the textbooks are coming in tomorrow, while the class is in progress, so, yeah. The class is ok so far, and it’s an hour and a half, so we’re receiving a good amount of knowledges (And yes, I do English goodly ;P) I’m content with my life right now, and I really like that.
I completely agree, though. The women who are in the play are wonderful, nuanced, fully realized female characters that are actually key players in the story rather than props for the men to use and be characterized by. It’s great. But, like…I still want to see women outside of the lover/wife/girlfriend/mistress roles. I want women who aren’t talked about by way of their relation to the protagonist. I want women who FIGHT and LEAD and DEBATE and CONQUER.
I want a female narrator in the musical who is never played for sexy laughs, who gets to be a force driving the story instead of just standing to the sides singing about it. I want a poor, immigrant, probably-queer woman to rise above her circumstances thanks to intelligence and determination and ambition that she isn’t ashamed of. I want a female president and a Queen that no one defines by their gender. I want young women who get to go out drinking and railing against the system. I want girls who pick up their guns and fight for their beliefs. I want a boy to be the one left helpless by love for once. And a boy to be floored and fall for a woman’s intelligence. I even kind of want a boy to be the temptation/home-wrecker/victim of bad marriage. These would be pleasant changes.
Give me Lady Hamilton or give me death, basically. Give me a woman who screams obscenities and gets too excited to keep her mouth shut. Give me another woman who has learned that the world will like her better if she talks less and smiles more. Give me the most powerful, respectable, rational, loved character being a woman that everyone looks up to and needs to impress – a female General in war at all! Give me a girl gang of revolutionaries who turn into the most iconic figures in our nation’s history.

Ahh, here is a project that snowballed out of control. I only wanted to draw Hamilton on the mario super star (he’s non-stop, geddit? geddit?), but then decided to turn the whole show into a SNES video game cause I’m crazy like that. There’s four parts to this and I’ll post one a day (I’m still tweaking the ends).
Part 1 of 4: Please click on the pics for descriptions/mission for each game.
