...that narrative battle is yet another way of thinking about what I call "the anthemic impulse," the kind of writing, speaking, and art/media approaches that, aside from just being correct, also *mobilize rather than demobilize*.

"Believe in the me that believes in you" was bars in 08.
Its a fucking holy anthemic prayer right now because it acknowledges that belief in yourself is hard if not impossible
"Oh you don't believe in yourself, that's fine, believe in me and that'll carry us both"

Just saw an interview in which she said people could find her politics in her songs. & clearly in the songs of others she chose to sing.

Destiny 2- Anthemic Invocation hunter Set.
This was used for 3D modeling. I tend to keep the rendering flat so modelers can see shapes more clearly.
Combination of thick inner suit and sharp armor plates. Hoping the design captures the strength & magic of Ahamkara Dragon's.

Bortkiewicz was a Ukrainian composer and The Rocks of Uch-Kosh is from the suite ‘Sketches of Crimea’ 🇺🇦
It was written between the Crimean War and the Russian Revolution, and is an anthemic musical journey from misery to victory
This is just the first statement of the theme. Lots more to do

Destiny 2- Season of the Wish initial brainstorming for the Anthemic invocation armor set. Inspired by Dragoon knights & Ahamkara (mythical wish dragons)
The goal was to have Ahamkara inspired armor elements without making it feel they carved them from the actual creature.
