2024.05.16 19:12 mikozodav A couple questions, I'm new

Hi, I wanted to ask a few things as I've been thinking on and off about wanting to get a little into graffiti for a while now, just haven't really got to it yet.
Are there some resources about like the 'theory', like all the diffirent ways to write a letter and ways to stylize it. Or just a deep dive into all of it on like a 'theoretic' side
(if there is like a 'theoretic' and then the actual 'execution'/ the mechanical skill of holding a pen and writing, if that makes any sense. I imagine studying fonts from some website and calligraphy and learning to write in a decently readible handwriting would be useful?)
Also, how much does the 'name' or different words written mean? Is it just random stuff/ a word that looks cool/ does it actually mean something?
Thanks and sorry if these are dumb guestions.

2024.05.14 20:58 laughinghammock [Request] Graphic Design Ultimate Frisbee Jersey

[Request] Graphic Design Ultimate Frisbee Jersey
Please do submit link to portfolio.
Budget target 125
Budget range 75 - 150.
If budget doesn't fit, propose price and I'll evaluate.
Please DO NOT provide concept art expecting a fee, it is welcome but I feel guilty not paying and cannot pay extra fees.
Not all submissions/portfolios will be responded to.
I may take a day or two to review and respond to portfolios.
Goals/Needs/Design/Desires:
  1. Graffiti Feel, mild anime or cartoonish OK.
  1. Funky Vibes with the letters 'RMK' in Simple style, some elements of wild style
  1. Orientation
  1. 'Rosy Mound Kids'
  1. Dive catch or otherwise
  1. Darker overall color scheme when considering background. Jersey's will be worn inside out for lights vs darks.
  2. Short Sleeve graphic
  3. We prefer .AI (Adobe Illustrator), .CDR (Corel Draw) and .PSD ( Photoshop) formatted artwork.
  4. Where we are ordering from.
A bit about the group; we are a pickup team, not a club team but may eventually be a club team. We are Co-Ed, inclusive and care much more about spirit of the game as a priority. Ultimately, this should have a fun vibe, chill atmosphere, but display a high level of competition (in the feel). It's not cutesy - but it is playful. Open to some creative freedom.
I will review portfolios that seem in alignment. Please let me know if you have experience with T-Graphic designs.

I found myself wasting time constantly scrolling through the massive list on google fonts trying to find the one that matched the exact vibe I was going for on various projects. To fix this I implemented a semantic search for fonts based on the fonts descriptions and a prompt. Now you can just enter the vibe you are going for with your project and it will recommend the most relevant ones. Finding similar fonts coming soon! fontvibes.com

2024.05.07 23:50 Longjumping-Yard-516 Power armor without a helmet and Graffiti

Howdy,
I heard Bethesda reads these here posts so I thought I'd make one with a few suggestions to add to the game.
  1. I'd like a way to hide your power armor helmet so you're still wearing one but no one can see it AND you still get the benefits of wearing complete sets. Kind of like how you can hide the backpack. I think that would look pretty sweet.
  2. I'd like them to add graffiti lettering to the game so you can vandalize your camps. They could use the same font/lettering as the graffiti all over the Ash Heap. Maybe add some of the Mothman and Blood eagle designs you see all over those types of areas.
That is all I have for now! Thanks for reading and I apologize if this isn't the right place for this post.

2024.04.19 21:03 Delta9SA Can someone explain why this was the final design for UFC 300?

Can someone explain why this was the final design for UFC 300?
I understand that designs that feel 'off' can be intriguing. And soing something different from normal is interesting too.
But the design for UFC 300 seems just weird to me. It's a bit of a graffiti font. Trying to make it seem raw/underground?
Im a bit puzzled

2024.04.19 18:12 piangero Alternatives to Discord? (win7 - win11)

I'm looking for alternative chatting programs to chat with friends (not necessarily channels for groups and interests.). Something like how AIM, ICQ and MSN were you had private convos, and could customize everything.
I don't want to use Messenger or Whatsapp. I've tried Hexchat and Pidgin, didn't enjoy it.
I also love Escargot MSN, it's the one I would prefer to use, but it seems like this is very unstable (they never have enough funding to keep it going, so I would assume that at some point it will crash and burn. I'm saying this with love, lol as I love the project.)
Kakaotalk is also a program I loved, but I was not sure how it worked, or if it was legit/safe (prob silly, but I think it was just because it seemed "too good" and I felt it was iffy.) I am willing to try Kakaotalk again, tbh.
My main needs are:
Bonus would be if it included a synced app too, like Discord does, but that it not super important at all.

2024.04.18 07:04 According_Sugar8752 Wanted to get into graffiti but then ran into a bunch of hate so I'm prob quitting.

I got into graffiti a month or so ago just having fun getting high, getting into high places, and doodling. But I've been going online and people call the type of shit I do toy or whatever. I really lost motivation. I don't really want to do handstyle or whatever. It really killled it for me. Stopped being fun.
EDIT:
Anyway dolls I'mma have to head to bed. Have fun hatin and malding in the comment section because I draw cute cool things, and you think I should have drawn an illegable cursave font that you have been spending 10 years of your life perfecting. Peace.

Graffiti (apology)
I owe y'all a little apology. I finally figured out my permission issue with Dropbox. Downloads shouldn't require a request anymore. (Please let me know if you have an issue, so I can fix it)
By way of apology, I offer this preset. Download it, play with it, colors, fonts,effects, the wallpaper, ALL OF IT.
I'd really like to see what this community comes up with.
I included two wallpapers, one has a bar for people who don't use gesture nav, the other is cropped for those who do

Tipping £5 for a simple job
Hi,
I'd like to make a present for someone and their favourite band is FIDLAR. I'd like their name added to this image in a graffiti style. The name is Milo. It should be clearly visible with a readable font so that it stands out. Tipping £5 for the job.

Micron is the shiznit. Before you even read this post, please first quickly visit their splash page, and scroll down the entire page, and APE read that splash home page. Then come back here to pre-school explain what it all means: https://www.micron.com/
one of the visuals you'll find:

https://preview.redd.it/s3mfp0urkpqc1.jpg?width=1486&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0c47d5af2015d9fa8830ee18f0338be219e08f7
Now that you've enjoyed the pretty pictures and big fat fonts, we pre-school explain it further here for your pre-school reading pleasure.
If you haven't heard of the legendary rabbit+zoo they pulled out of their hat this last earnings, you don't deserve to call yourself an ape trader, you're more like a caculus spider monkey too caught up in patterns and logic to appreciate this magical feat. But seriously, Micron is what I've loaded on. Let me post their earnings vs expected so you can appreciate the sheer mythological times we currently live in:
March 20th 2024, that magical date... sigh....
Q2 2024 :
  • Earnings per share: 42 cents adjusted vs. 25 cent loss expected by LSEG, formerly known as Refinitiv.
  • Revenue: $5.82 billion vs. 5.35 billion expected by LSEG.
Micron said revenue rose to $5.82 billion from $3.69 billion in the year ago quarter. The company reported a net income of $793 million, up from a net loss of $2.3 billion in the same period last year. (ohhh and that pretty guidance into next Qtr.... )
For its fiscal third quarter, Micron expects to report revenue of $6.6 billion, above the $6.02 billion expected by analysts. ( these mofo's will be busy for YEARS to come pumping out the storage capacity for the AI revolution )
“We believe Micron is one of the biggest beneficiaries in the semiconductor industry of the multi-year opportunity enabled by AI,” Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said in a release.
Micron has long provided memory and flash storage for computers, data centers and phones. Large data centers are used to power the influx of new AI software. While Nvidia has grabbed much of the spotlight for its graphics processing units that run AI, companies like Micron benefit by providing the memory and storage for those systems.

Now check out what Micron does:
Check out this premonition anouncement A YEAR OLD on their wicked SOLID STATE SUPER MASSIVE STORAGE FOR DATA CENTERS:

New Micron 9400 SSD delivers best-in-class performance and capacity

BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micron Technology, Inc., (Nasdaq: MU), today announced the Micron 9400 NVMe™ SSD is in volume production and immediately available from channel partners and to global OEM customers for use in servers requiring the highest levels of storage performance. The Micron 9400 is designed to manage the most demanding data center workloads, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI) training, machine learning (ML) and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. The drive delivers an industry-leading 30.72 terabytes (TB) of storage capacity, superior workload performance versus the competition, and 77% improved input/output operations per second (IOPS).1 The Micron 9400 is the world’s fastest PCIe Gen4 data center U.3 drive shipping2 and delivers consistently low latency at all capacity points.3
“High performance, capacity and low latency are critical features for enterprises seeking to maximize their investments in AI/ML and supercomputing systems,” said Alvaro Toledo, vice president and general manager of data center storage at Micron. “Thanks to its industry-leading 30TB capacity and stunning performance with over 1 million IOPS in mixed workloads, the Micron 9400 SSD packs larger datasets into each server and accelerates machine learning training, which equips users to squeeze more out of their GPUs.”
Industry-leading 30TB capacity maximizes storage densityThe Micron 9400 SSD’s industry-leading capacity of 30TB doubles the maximum capacity of Micron’s prior-generation NVMe SSDs. A standard two-rack-unit 24-drive server loaded with 30.72TB Micron 9400 SSDs provides total storage of 737TB per server. By doubling capacity per SSD, Micron is enabling enterprises to store the same amount of data in half as many servers.
Leading storage performance excels in a range of environments from AI to cloudThe Micron 9400 SSD sets a new performance standard for PCIe Gen4 storage by delivering 1.6M IOPS for 100% 4K random reads.
The Micron 9400’s capacity and performance enable larger datasets and accelerate epoch time, the total number of iterations of data in one cycle for training machine learning models – leading to more efficient utilization of graphics processing units (GPUs).
While many SSDs are designed for pure read or write use cases, the Micron 9400 was designed with real-world applications in mind. Mixed workloads are prevalent in many data center applications, including caching, online transaction processing, high-frequency trading, AI, and performance-focused databases requiring extreme performance.
For mixed read and write workloads, the Micron 9400 also outperforms the competition, providing:
  • 71% higher IOPS for 90% read and 10% write workloads, surpassing 1 million IOPS4
  • 69% higher IOPS for 70% read and 30% write workloads, surpassing 940,000 IOPS4
In testing scenarios, the Micron 9400 SSD excelled in mixed workload performance compared against competitors’ high-performance NVMe SSDs. The results show:
  • For RocksDB, a storage database renowned for its high performance and used for latency-sensitive, user-sensitive applications like spam detection or storing viewer history, the 9400 delivered up to 23% higher performance and up to 34% higher workload responsiveness5
  • For Aerospike Database, an open-source NoSQL database optimized for flash storage, the Micron 9400 demonstrated up to 2.1 times higher peak performance and superior responsiveness. Aerospike Database underpins time-critical web applications like fraud detection, recommendation engines, real-time payment processing and stock trading – meaning the 9400 can deliver faster results for these time-sensitive use cases5
  • For NVIDIA Magnum IO GPUDirect Storage which enables a direct memory access data transfer path between GPU memory and storage, the Micron 9400 beat the competition by delivering 25% better performance in a busy system with compute-bound tasks — a critical improvement for AI environments6
  • For multi-tenant cloud architectures, the Micron 9400 delivers more than double the overall performance of a competitor’s performance-focused SSD and up to 62% better response time6
“As the world’s most innovative organizations continue to adopt cloud and digital-first strategies, WEKA and our partners are focused on removing obstacles to data-driven innovation,” said Liran Zvibel, co-founder and chief executive officer of WEKA. “High-performance, high-capacity storage like the Micron 9400 SSD provides the critical underlying technology to accelerate access to data and time to insights that drive tremendous business value.”
Improved energy efficiency reduces environmental impactA major consideration for data center operators is the combination of workload performance and the amount of energy consumed. Higher energy efficiency means there is more throughput for the energy consumed to complete the work. The Micron 9400’s 77% better IOPS per watt reduces power consumption and therefore operational expenses, carbon footprint and environmental impact.
“Supermicro designs innovative servers that provide maximum performance, configurability, and power savings to tackle the growing customer demand for increased capacity and efficiency,” said Wally Liaw, co-founder and senior vice president of business development at Supermicro. “The Micron 9400 SSD delivers an immense storage volume of over 30TB into every drive while simultaneously supporting optimized workloads and faster system throughput for advanced applications.”
Various capacities offer enterprises flexible deploymentThe Micron 9400 SSD is available in a U.3 form factor that is backwards-compatible with U.2 sockets and comes in capacities ranging from 6.4TB to 30.72TB. These options provide data center operators the flexibility to deploy the most energy efficient storage while matching their workloads with the right blend of performance, capacity and endurance.7 This versatile SSD is built to manage critical workloads whether in on-premises server farms or in a multi-tenant shared cloud infrastructure, and can be flexibly deployed in hyperscale, cloud, data center, OEM and system integrator designs.

This is a YEAR AGO. Now check this shit out:
First a little terminology:
High-bandwidth memory (HBM) version 3E (HBM3E) is the latest standard for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) SDRAM. It's used in high-performance installations like graphics accelerators, data center processors, and AI accelerators. HBM3E uses a stacked die format, with the CPU and HBM memory stack on the same interposepackage substrate.

China clamping down on EVERYONE, MSFT, AMD, INTC, but giving MU the pearly gates, This is all with U.S. approvals. "On March 23 (2024, as in a few days ago... ), China’s Minister of Commerce, Wang Wentao, met with Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra to exchange views on Micron’s development in China. The Chinese government welcomed Micron to continue deepening its presence in the Chinese market and accelerate the implementation of new investment projects in China, Wang Wentao said. Sanjay Mehrotra introduced Micron’s business and new investment projects in China, stating that the company will strictly adhere to Chinese laws and regulations. Sanjay also unveiled plans to expand investments in China to meet the demands of Chinese customers. This is Sanjay Mehrotra’s second visit to China in nearly six months, with their previous meeting occurring on November 1, 2023"

2024.03.18 05:03 BriefRefrigerator669 There used to be an old butcher shop down the street from my grandparents house.

There used to be an old butcher shop down the street from my grandparents' house.
It was about a few houses down but it was unmistakable. An old concrete building, adorned with old logos for Pepsi, Coke, and blurbs about the special meats they had on sale. “Ribeyes only nine dollars!” “Strip steaks for only twelve dollars!” All emboldened in a tacky comic font that harkened back to a time long gone.
I only ever had been in the building a few times, but I can remember some details of the interior. It had an old country store vibe. Shelves filled with old candies and other assortments, various canned goods, and breads from different brands. But if you went into this store, you primarily came for the cheap cold cuts. And I distinctly remember this big metal meat freezer right next to the counter. It scared me a little as a kid thinking what could end up being in there.
The shop was owned by an old butcher and his wife. They were a sweet old couple. The kind you’d see going to church every Sunday. They both wore glasses and the butcher always had his apron on ready to go. I can’t remember a time when the old man didn’t have it on. He was always behind that counter, every single day. If it were Sunday he’d open at one, and he’d always close the store at five. His wife was the cashier, she’d sit up at the counter taking the money, while he was always cutting and tenderizing behind the meat counter.
They were open for quite some time. Locals considered it a hidden gem when it came to getting delicious meats for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Then one day in 2011, the shop closed.
I remember the day I found out. I was going with my grandfather to the shop. He had wanted to make steaks that day, and the butcher's shop was where he would normally get his cuts from. We went in his old pickup down the street, hopped out onto the old gravel parking lot, and walked up to the door. On the door was a chain lock, and a sign:
“Sorry, we’re closed!”
That was strange considering that it was 2:30 when we arrived. They were never closed that early. Disappointed, my grandfather told me to hop back in the truck and we went to the supermarket down the road from the neighborhood. Over time more and more people came by the store to check if it was open, to no avail. The sign remained in the same position that we saw the day we went. It was disappointing to everyone in the neighborhood considering the only place anyone could find cheap cold cuts was closed seemingly indefinitely.
And what was even stranger than the fact the couple closed the shop abruptly, was the fact that no one seemed to have seen the couple after that.
They stopped showing up to church, you’d never see them come out of their house (which coincidentally was right next to the store itself.) Some rumored them to have died, yet nothing close to their names ever appeared in the paper in the obituary section. No one knew if they had any other family, so no one thought to do a wellness check. It’s like they had vanished off the face of the earth.
Over time, everyone seemed to have forgotten the place. Sure you could see the store while passing by on the street, or catch a glimpse when you drove by, but there was no sign of activity inside or outside the store. The old signs gradually faded out over the years due to weather and other factors. There were always rumblings of some real-estate company or local business owner wanting to buy the building, but nothing ever came of it. So like many old buildings in our town, it became a nostalgic reminder of a time gone by.
That is, until one summer a few years back.
You see, like many old buildings in the area, graffiti artists started to use the old building as a place to practice their art. Much to the chagrin of the locals who preferred the building stay stuck in its time. So out of respect for the old couple and their legacy, local community organizers would come and repaint the walls from time to time. It wasn’t a lot of work at first, but then the tags started to appear more frequently. I can even remember some of the ones that were found on the side of the building.
“JJ.”
“Robo.”
“Hellspawn.”
That one always stuck out to me. The place was always considered to be a simple, peaceful little grocery store. So for it to have such a phrase tagged onto it was ironic. Due to the frequency of the vandalism they decided to have some members of the neighborhood form a watch to help stave off any potential vandals. I was one of the volunteers who would paint the walls since I was on break from school and staying with my grandparents. The routine we had going was this: at night the watch would patrol the area, while the rest of us would come to clean up any mess during the day. It worked for a few days, but towards the end of the week, some of our night members started to not show up. We tried calling their houses to no avail, so eventually we just circled to clean up whatever mess happened overnight and called it good.
Then we started noticing the smell.
It wasn’t as pungent at first, but then throughout the summer, it got worse by the day. We tried tracking the source of the smell but found absolutely nothing indicating that it was occurring outside. Then one of the volunteers suggested maybe the smell was occurring inside the building. None of us truly wanted to go inside since it was an old building and god only knew what was rotting inside there. It was an old butcher block after all. But we decided that it might take some time for the sanitation department to come out, and if the smell got stronger the neighbors would complain. So we bucked up and broke in. It wasn’t too hard since one of the more handy volunteers had some bolt cutters in their truck, so we snapped the chain lock and headed inside.
“Oh yeah, it’s definitely in here!” One of the guys shouted.
The first thing that seemed off to us was that the place looked like a tornado had gone through it. Shelves once neatly organized and labeled were all over the place, with cans and various other assortments adorning the now yellowed and dirtied floor. The meat counter was empty, and the smell in the air was almost unbearable. The freezer next to the door was bolted shut. The lock itself was strangely new. Almost like it was bought yesterday.
I noticed that there was a door that was open ajar near the counter. I figured it might have been an office of some kind, so I opened it cautiously and saw an old metal desk with what looked to be an old CRT and a VHS player on top of it.
“This must’ve been the security system.” I thought.
Considering the old couple were not the most tech-savvy people in the community, it made sense that their security system still ran on tape. I figured that maybe the tapes would shed some light on what happened to them, so while the others were exploring the store, I sat down and tried to get the security system to turn on. It took a few tries but after some finagling, I heard the distinct sound of static coming to life and was greeted by a blank picture. VHS tapes littered the table, each with a label denoting the day of filming. I took a look at each one until one caught my eye;
“6/3/11.”
That was the day before the store closed. I popped the tape into the player and hit play.
“June 3rd, 2011. 5:00 PM.”
The video showed a few different angles of the store. One view was of the checkout counter, two of the isles of the store, and then the last of the meat counter and freezer. The old man sat behind his counter, working on cutting some ribs down to wash, the wife was busy tallying up the money they had received from the business day. It looked like a completely normal day for the two. That was until I noticed the meat freezer slowly opening. I wasn’t the only one who noticed, as in the video the old man had stepped out and saw the same. He slowly walked towards the door and opened it.
What happens next is hard to describe.
He starts to yell, apparently frightened at what he sees, this then alerts his wife, who runs out from behind the cash register towards the door to the fridge. Once she reaches the door where her husband is standing, she looks as well and joins in the screaming. They both are screaming so loud, that the audio, already garbled by the age of the equipment, starts to clip.
I watch as on the screen, the old couple gets engulfed by something. I could tell it wasn’t human, nor was it an animal. It looked almost like it could have been a smudge on the screen. They continued to scream as whatever the thing was pulled them into the darkness of the meat freezer. And once pulled in, the door slammed shut.
My face went pale.
The scene was quiet for about ten minutes, then the door opened again, and a mass of long black tendrils shot across the floor, knocking over the shelves. One shot over the meat counter and wrapped around the butcher knife the old man was using to cut the ribs. Then the tendrils receded into the freezer. All the while horrified screams could be heard from the darkness. I fast-forwarded the tape hoping to catch another glimpse of whatever creature that was inside the freezer. But after that moment, there were no sounds, no screams. Nothing at all.
Then I heard the clink of chains being dropped to the floor, I bolted out of the office, screaming at the others “Don’t open the door!” But it was too late.
The door slowly crept open, but no creature emerged.
But that smell.
It smelt like the stench of death. On the floor partially illuminated by the sunlight creeping in were several boxes of old beef, chicken, and pork, all moldy from the passage of time. Flies and other insects buzzed about.
But that wasn’t even the worst thing we found.
One of the volunteers shined a flashlight inside the freezer. The walls were caked in blood. I wasn’t sure if it was human, animal, or something else. Hanging from the meat hooks were different bags. Each filled with processed and tenderized corpses.
Human corpses.
And three were fresh.
We bolted out of the building and immediately called 911 and screamed for the cops to come.
In the end, seven different bodies were carried out of the butcher shop that day. Two were identified as the owners of the store, while the other five were volunteers from the night watch. The store was demolished shortly after that, and a candlelight vigil was held for the lives that were lost.
I was never the same after seeing that tape. Knowing that I was the only one who saw what happened to those two. And knowing that what happened to them likely happened to our volunteers. I didn’t go to my grandparents for some time after that. Until they eventually moved away from that neighborhood.
After some years of consultation with therapists, I ended up returning to that neighborhood recently. I met up with one of the neighborhood kids who had been a playmate of mine. Trauma never really goes away, and you can kind of see that when you drive through the neighborhood now. Most of the houses close to the site of the tragedy are now abandoned, although there are still some, like my old buddy, who still call it their home.
I asked him about the demolition. And how the community felt when the place finally came down. He took a little bit of time to think before he answered.
“You know, it’s really weird.” He explained, “They bulldozed the place quickly after word got around about what happened. Before they did though the police checked the place out one last time. For whatever reason. They found wrapped cold cuts sitting on the meat counter.
He paused for a moment.
“They were fresh.”

André Larané et Mariam Magarditchian. Le blasphème, Un délit politique plus que religieux
Lien
Le blasphème (injures impliquant Dieu et ses saints) et le sacrilège (profanation d’objets sacrés) n’ont jamais été formellement réprimés par l’Église catholique. C’est seulement à la fin du Moyen Âge et à partir du XVIe siècle, avec l’émergence des États nationaux, que les gouvernants ont vu l’intérêt d’instrumentaliser ces délits à des fins personnelles ou politiques.

Depuis la fatwa lancée en 1989 contre l’écrivain britannique Salman Rushdie, le blasphème est remis en cause en Occident par des extrémistes musulmans. Sa dénonciation a pris de l’ampleur avec la publication des caricatures de Mahomet au Danemark, l’attentat contre Charlie Hebdo à Paris en 2015 et l’« affaire Mila », du nom d’une adolescente lyonnaise persécutée pour avoir laissé échapper en 2019 quelques considérations malveillantes sur l’islam sur sa page Facebook.
À l’ouverture du procès des terroristes de Charlie Hebdo, interrogeons-nous sur cette forme d’intolérance…

Un Dieu unique plus sacré que les divinités de l’Olympe

Le mot « blasphème » vient du grec blasphemia qui signifie : « parole qui blesse ». Dans les cités grecques de l’Antiquité, où aucun texte sacré ne fait office de dogme, le terme est synonyme de parjure ou de malédiction provenant d’une irrégularité observée durant un rite. Mais il peut désigner aussi bien une injure profane qu’une parole inconvenante adressée à une divinité. Le blasphème n’est pas pour autant sanctionné. Dès le VIe siècle, le Panthéon est tourné en dérision dans les représentations artistiques, sur des vases et des fresques. Même le grand législateur Solon ne se prive pas de dire qu’Homère et Hésiode « racontent bien des mensonges ».
Il en va autrement toutefois dans le judaïsme, qui promeut la foi en un Dieu unique, en opposition à tous les polythéismes. Le blasphème est réprouvé par le second commandement du Deutéronome, cinquième livre de l’Ancien Testament : « Tu ne prononceras pas à tort le nom de YHWH ton Dieu, car YHWH ne laisse pas impuni celui qui prononce son nom à tort » (Dt 5 ; 11). La preuve est apportée par le Lévitique, deuxième livre de la Bible, à propos du fils d’une Israélite et d’un Égyptien qui aurait insulté le Nom du Seigneur : « Alors le Seigneur adressa la parole à Moïse : “Fais sortir du camp celui qui a insulté ; que tous ceux qui l’ont entendu imposent leurs mains sa tête, et que toute la communauté le lapide. Et tu parleras ainsi aux fils d’Israël : Si un homme insulte son Dieu, il doit porter le poids de son péché ; ainsi celui qui blasphème le nom du Seigneur sera mis à mort : toute la communauté le lapidera ; émigré ou indigène, il sera mis à mort pour avoir blasphémé le Nom” » (Lv 24 ; 13-15).

Mais c’est dans le Nouveau Testament que se lit le blasphème le plus mémorable de l’aventure humaine, quand Jésus est arrêté et comparaît devant le Sanhédrin, le grand conseil juif qui siège au Temple de Jérusalem, sous la présidence du Grand Prêtre Caïphe : « Le Grand Prêtre lui dit : “Je t’adjure par le Dieu vivant de nous dire si tu es, toi, le Messie, le Fils de Dieu.” Jésus lui répondit : “Tu le dis. Seulement, je vous le déclare, désormais vous verrez le Fils de l’homme siégeant à la droite du Tout-Puissant et venant sur les nuées du ciel.” Alors le Grand Prêtre déchira ses vêtements et dit : “Il a blasphémé. Qu’avons-nous encore besoin de témoins ! Vous venez d’entendre le blasphème. Quel est votre avis ?” Ils répondirent : “Il mérite la mort” » (Matthieu 66 ; 63-66)… Cette vindicte vient de ce qu’aux yeux des prêtres et des scribes, le Christ a semblé contesté la foi en un Dieu unique, fondement du judaïsme sans lequel il n’y aurait pas de peuple juif.
Le graffiti d’Alexamenos
Dans l’empire romain multireligieux des premiers siècles, les chrétiens doivent supporter sans broncher les insultes de leurs adversaires. La croix, associée au supplice infamant de la crucifixion, est alors utilisée pour déprécier la nouvelle religion comme le montre le graffiti d’Alexamenos ou « graffiti du blasphème » découvert en 1856 à Rome. Datant du IIIe siècle, il représente un certain Alexamenos, saluant un Christ en croix, à tête d’âne, accompagné de cette légende railleuse : « Alexamenos rendant un culte à son Dieu. » L’onôlatrie (l’adoration des ânes) était une moquerie courante des Romains à l’égard des chrétiens et des juifs.

Du péché moral au crime juridique

Le délit de blasphème prend tout son sens avec l’apparition du christianisme et les notions de « parole divine » et de « vérité révélée ». Il trouve son fondement dans le Notre PèreQue ton Nom soit sanctifié »). On rencontre les premières dispositions législatives contre le blasphème dès le VIe dans le code Justinien. Elles condamnent les blasphémateurs au « dernier supplice », c’est-à-dire la peine capitale. Mais cette prescription ne sera pour ainsi jamais appliquée avant la fin du Moyen Âge, mille ans plus tard.
À l’instar de Saint Augustin, la plupart des théologiens distinguent le « blasphème qualifié ou hérétique » du « blasphème simple » inspiré par une fureur passagère ou prononcé sous la contrainte. De fait, jusqu’au XVe siècle, les exemples de punition demeurent rares et limités (sauf dans le cas d’hérésie avérée). Preuve de cette relative indulgence : les pénitentiels médiévaux traitent peu du péché de blasphème. Le plus fameux, le Medicus de Burchard de Worms, peu après l’An Mil, recommande seulement 7 à 25 jours de jeûne au blasphémateur !
Le blasphème est toléré quand il vise la critique sociale et même encouragé lorsqu’il est adressé au Diable ! Dans les satires médiévales comme dans les peintures, sculptures et gargouilles qui décorent les églises, on n’hésite pas à brocarder la messe, les offices religieux, les clercs, les moines, voire les évêques. À tel point que de nombreux moralistes déplorent l’omniprésence du blasphème dans la vie quotidienne, un phénomène qui se retrouvera bien plus tard… au Québec.Le « sacre » québécois
À la différence de leurs cousins français, les habitants de la Nouvelle-France ont cultivé outre-Atlantique l’habitude de jurer. C’est au point qu’aujourd’hui encore, les touristes québécois au Mexique sont surnommés los tabarnacos », déformation de « Tabernacle ! ». Ces jurons, aussi appelés « sacres », visent en premier lieu Dieu (maudit Dieu !, nom de Dieu !, Sacré nom de Dieu !, baptême !, Vierge noire !, sacré Dieu noir !). Dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle se sont diffusés aussi les fameux jurons concernant les objets liturgiques et le Christ (Christ !, hostie !, tabernacle !, Ciboire !, Calice !, Calvaire !) dont la fréquence, comme au Moyen Âge, atténue considérablement le caractère blasphématoire. Dans un tribunal, un témoin déclare ainsi à propos d’un prévenu : « Je ne l’ai pas entendu sacrer, excepté qu’il a dit : Tordieu, lâchez-moi. »
Au XIIIe siècle, la chrétienté médiévale à son apogée se voit confrontée à une hérésie, le catharisme, et à différentes offensives païennes ou musulmanes, dans les régions baltes, au sud des Pyrénées et en Orient. Elle tend alors à se raidir. Saint Thomas d’Aquin éprouve le besoin d’analyser le blasphème dans sa Somme théologique. Sans en exagérer la gravité, il distingue le « blasphème de coeur », péché véniel, du « blasphème de bouche » qui vise à offenser Dieu. Et il introduit parmi les « péchés de langue » une distinction appelée à faire date entre l’injure, la diffamation, la médisance, la moquerie, la malédiction etc. Ces termes vont beaucoup plus tard être repris par les législateurs républicains dans le droit de la presse, ainsi que le note l’historien Jacques de Saint Victor.

En France, le premier roi à légiférer sur le blasphème est Louis IX (Saint Louis). D’une part parce qu’il veut renforcer l’autorité de l’État et donc mieux surveiller les mœurs de ses sujets, d’autre part parce qu’au moment où les États francs de Palestine succombent sous les assauts musulmans et où lui-même s’apprête à partir en croisade, il veut se concilier les faveurs du ciel en sanctionnant les blasphémateurs mais aussi les juifs. Sa grande ordonnance de 1254 sur la « réforme de l’administration et la police du royaume » exige ainsi « que soient brûlés aussi bien le Talmud que les autres livres où l’on trouve des blasphèmes ».
En 1263, de retour de Terre sainte, Louis IX menace les blasphémateurs récidivistes de mutilations (lèvres percées, langue tranchée). Le pape Clément IV tempère toutefois le zèle du saint roi et le convainc de s’en tenir à des peines modérées, comme d’expulser le coupable de la messe durant 7 dimanches : le blasphémateur doit demeurer debout à la porte de l’église, sans manteau, pieds nus et une courroie liée autour du cou ; durant la dernière semaine de pénitence, le jeûne au pain sec et à l’eau est prescrit. Si le blasphémateur refuse de se plier à cette pénitence, il encourt l’excommunication. Saint Louis obéit au pape. Les châtiments corporels seront progressivement restaurés par ses successeurs mais pour ainsi dire jamais appliqués.

L’absolutisme et la répression du blasphème

À partir du XVe siècle et de la Renaissance, en Europe, l’affirmation de la monarchie absolue et les dissensions religieuses vont transformer le blasphème et l’insulte envers Dieu et la religion en crime politique et « crime de lèse-majesté ».
La modernité, qui naît de la crise de l’Église et de l’affirmation des États nationaux, fait du blasphème l’affaire du Prince et le signe de l’hérésie. Pour des raisons similaires, montée des peurs, crainte des déviances de tous ordres, renforcement de l’autorité de l’État, on en vient aussi à la même époque, en ces temps que l’on dit « modernes », à réprimer l’homosexualité et surtout la sorcellerie !

Jusqu’au milieu du XVIIIe siècle, la France connaît plusieurs dizaines de lois anti-blasphématoires, conséquence de la Réforme luthérienne mais aussi du développement d’une civilisation des mœurs – donc du langage ! On adoucit les jurons et « Par Dieu » devient un banal « Parbleu » ou « Pardi ». À l’instigation de son confesseur le père Coton, le roi Henri IV renonce à ses « Jarnidieu ! » pour d’innocents « Jarnicoton ! » (« Je renie Coton ! »).
La première ordonnance royale sur les blasphèmes est lancée par Louis XII en 1510, afin de rendre hommage à Dieu de ses conquêtes italiennes. Elle rétablit des mutilations (lèvres, langue) à partir de la sixième récidive. Parallèlement, les tribunaux ecclésiastiques se voient peu à peu retirer leur pouvoir de jugement. L’ordonnance de Villers-Cotterêts (1539) prévoit deux catégories de crimes : les blasphèmes simples, commis par ignorance ou erreur, restent du ressort de l’Église ; mais ceux qui s’accompagnent d’un scandale public, d’une hérésie ou d’une sédition, qualifiés de sont interprétés comme une offense faite au souverain et relèvent de l’État.

Voilà ce qu’écrit l’illustre Bossuet, évêque de Meaux et précepteur du Grand Dauphin, fils de Louis XIV : « Dieu établit les rois comme ses ministres et règne par eux sur les peuples. Les princes agissent comme ministre de Dieu et ses lieutenants sur la terre. C’est par eux qu’ il exerce son empire. Le trône royal n’est pas le trône d’un homme, mais le trône de Dieu même. » (Politique tirée de l’écriture sainte, 1678-1709).
À mesure que s’affirme la monarchie de droit divin, le blasphème se confond avec la critique du roi et de ses ministres. C’est ainsi qu’un certain Pierre Ruault, charcutier venu au marché de Bourg-la-Reine acheter un cochon, s’est vu arrêté pour injure et blasphème « à l’encontre de Dieu et de Monsieur Colbert, ministre d’État. »
D’autres ont plus de chance. C’est le cas de Molière qui, après la représentation de Tartuffe et Don Juan, sévères critiques de l’hypocrisie des dévots, échappe à la vindicte de ceux-ci, grâce il est vrai à la protection du roi en personne…
En Espagne, l’Inquisition conserve le droit de poursuivre le délit de blasphème et en fait un instrument de la lutte contre les hérétiques et notamment les Morisques et les « conversos », musulmans et juifs faussement convertis au catholicisme.
Les pays protestants ne sont pas en reste dans la guerre contre le blasphème, d’autant qu’ils ont fort à faire pour lutter contre la multiplication de sectes dissidentes.
L’Angleterre partage avec les autres monarchies l’obsession du blasphème. La guerre civile qui met aux prises les puritains et le souverain catholique donne naissance à des textes d’une grande précision doctrinale. En 1646, un prédicateur presbytérien de Londres décrit une situation où « blasphèmes, hérésies, étranges pratiques s’accroissent plus en une semaine ou en un mois que pendant un an auparavant. »
Dès la reprise en main du pays par l’armée de Cromwell, deux longues ordonnances du Parlement, destinés à poursuivre blasphémateurs et hérétiques, sont votées. Elles prévoient des peines allant jusqu’au bannissement et à la peine de mort. La lutte contre les convictions baptistes ou catholiques, les Quakers, Ranters et autres membres de la Cinquième Monarchie, fait de ces textes un véritable Credo de l’Église établie.
Si ce lourd arsenal répressif est assoupli avec la restauration de la monarchie, un nouveau Blasphemy Act est adopté en 1698, cette fois à l’encontre d’une nouvelle figure emblématique du blasphème : le sceptique ou l’athée, à savoir le libertin. Blasphème et machination « papiste » (catholique)
En 1698, Susannah Fowles comparaît pour blasphème devant le tribunal de Old Bailey (Middlesex). Elle ne nie pas les témoignages à son encontre mais attribue ses comportements à une possession diabolique. Ainsi, par une inversion du malin, la jeune femme retourne le Pater Noster et déclare « fais-nous céder à la tentation ».
Très vite, des soupçons de simulation apparaissent. Ils se confirment lorsqu’un témoin fait mention de documents confiés à la jeune femme par un certain Jordan, catholique lui assurant une guérison prochaine par exorcisme. Le tribunal se convainc alors d’une machination destinée à démontrer l’incompétence de l’Église anglicane en la matière. Des menaces de coups conduisent l’accusée à avouer sa duperie. Pour sa défense, elle plaide la folie mais ne convainc pas la Cour qui la condamne à une amende. En outre, elle est exposée trois fois au pilori et mise sous tutelle morale durant douze mois.

Le blasphème sécularisé par les Lumières

Au siècle des Lumières, le doute s’installe. Dans une société encore profondément chrétienne mais en voie de sécularisation, le délit de blasphème apparaît comme un crime sans victime, autrement dit un crime « imaginaire ». Est-il pertinent de sanctionner un délit qui n’atteindrait que Dieu lui-même ? À cela, Montesquieu, philosophe et chrétien, répond de manière magistrale dans L’Esprit des Lois (1748) : « Le mal est venu de cette idée qu’il faut venger la divinité. Mais il faut faire honorer la divinité, et ne la venger jamais ».

Dans l’article « Blasphème » de l’Encyclopédie, il est simplement rappelé que l’on peut jurer « souvent même sans colère et sans malice » et que « les blasphèmes et jurements sont si ordinaires parmi certaines gens qu’on ne s’en aperçoit presque pas, et que quand même on s’en apercevrait, on ne s’avise guère de dénoncer les blasphémateurs à la justice. »
Malheureusement, les choses ne se passent pas aussi simplement. Le blasphème, toujours en théorie sanctionné par la peine de mort, devient une arme aux mains des plaideurs. Une dénonciation bien placée et hop, on se débarrasse de son adversaire !
C’est ce qui arrive par exemple en 1724, ainsi que le rapporte Jacques de Saint Victor : Claude l’Herbé, ivrogne et mari violent, est traîné au tribunal par ses voisins qui l’accusent de troubler le quartier. Comme le procès traîne en longueur, ils sortent le joker de leur manche : ledit l’Herbé serait un « blasphémateur exécrable ». La machine judiciaire s’emballe. L’Herbé lui-même commet l’erreur d’avouer que « quelques fois, dans le vin, il jure et renie Dieu ». Il aura la langue coupée et sera brûlé vif en place de Grève.
Mais l’affaire la plus mémorable de toutes est celle du Chevalier de la Barre, un libertin de 19 ans accusé d’avoir avec ses amis, à Abbeville, lacéré un crucifix en bois, refusé de se découvrir devant la procession du Saint Sacrement et chanté des couplets licencieux.
Il est inculpé par un lieutenant criminel qui a un compte à régler avec sa famille et son procès survient au pire moment qui soit, quand les magistrats soupçonnés de sympathies jansénistes s’appliquent à faire des excès de zèle catholique et monarchiste et que le roi Louis XV, plus impopulaire que jamais, est aigri par la disparition de son fils et par le remords d’avoir fait écarteler Damiens, un illuminé qui avait tenté de le tuer. Le chevalier est donc condamné à mort et sa grâce est rejetée. Il est torturé et exécuté le 1er juillet 1766.
Après ce procès de trop qui révulse les esprits éclairés, personne ne sera mis à mort pour blasphème en France.
Dès qu’éclate la Révolution, les députés de la Constituante posent le principe de la liberté d’expression dans la Déclaration des Droits de l’Homme et du Citoyen : « Article X : Nul ne doit être inquiété pour ses opinions, même religieuses, pourvu que leur manifestation ne trouble pas l’ordre public établi par la loi. »
Enfin, le Code pénal adopté le 25 septembre 1791 abolit expressément un certain nombre de délits tenus pour « imaginaires » dont les crimes d’hérésie, de lèse-majesté et de blasphème. C’est une première en Europe et dans le monde. Dans plusieurs autres monarchies d’Europe occidentale, le délit de blasphème va demeurer en vigueur, quoique non appliqué, jusqu’à la fin du XXe siècle.
Les événements parisiens suscitent dans le reste de l’Europe une réaction politique et, par exemple, la principauté réformée de Neuchâtel, en Suisse, voit augmenter ses instructions pour blasphème. En 1794, un horloger est arrêté dans le canton pour avoir prononcé « des propos scandaleux contre la religion et l’ordre social ; voulant ramasser toutes les bibles et les testaments pour en faire un feu de joie et danser la Carmagnole autour. » Deux ans plus tard, on condamne un groupe de jeunes garçons qui s’en prennent à un crucifix et lui adressent des « Adieu Citoyen ».
En France même, après la Révolution et la chute de l’Empire, l’Église, peu soucieuse d’obtenir des condamnations pénales, va s’en tenir à une réprobation morale du blasphème.
Mais il va autrement des gouvernants qui rêvent d’un ordre moral assis sur l’alliance du Trône et de l’Autel, alliance qui au demeurant n’a jamais existé, la monarchie ayant toujours été rivale de l’Église depuis Philippe le Bel !
C’est ainsi que Charles X promulgue la loi du Sacrilège le 20 avril 1825 en vue de « re-christianiser la France » ! Elle condamne à mort toute personne qui aurait en public profané des hosties ou les vases les contenant ! C’est du jamais vu. La loi ne sera bien évidemment jamais appliquée et le successeur de Charles X l’abrogera sans attendre, le 11 octobre 1830.
De façon plus insidieuse, sous le règne de Louis XVIII, les ultra-royalistes réintroduisent le délit de blasphème dans une loi visant à simplement réprimer les délits de presse pour tout « outrage à la morale publique » en y ajoutant les mots « et religieuse » par un amendement voté au grand dam du garde des sceaux, le libéral comte de Serre.
La loi, adoptée le 17 mai 1819, ajoute ainsi à l’« outrage aux bonnes moeurs » du Code pénal napoléonien l’« outrage à la morale publique et religieuse ». Le comte Pierre Daru, que cite Jacques de Saint Victor, en voit tout de suite le danger : « On commencera par proscrire un livre licencieux et on finira par défendre [interdire] les Provinciales et par mutiler l’Esprit des lois »... C’est le même débat deux siècles après à propos de la cancel culture venue d’outre-Atlantique qui prétend traquer les relents racistes ou sexistes jusque dans les romans d’Agatha Christie.

Cette loi permettra un demi-siècle plus tard, sous le Second Empire, de traduire en jugement Flaubert et Baudelaire pour Madame Bovary et les Fleurs du Mal, ce qui fera au moins la célébrité du substitut du procureur Ernest Pinard, lequel déclare à propos de Madame Bovary : « L’incrimination porte sur deux délits […]. L’offense à la morale publique est dans les tableaux lascifs […]. L’offense à la morale religieuse dans les images voluptueuses mêlées aux choses sacrées ».
Bien en cour, Flaubert est néanmoins relaxé le 8 février 1857. Baudelaire, quelques mois plus tard, aura moins de chance. Il sera condamné à une amende de 300 francs le 20 août 1857. En marge de nombreux anonymes, un peu plus tard, c’est encore Proudhon qui est condamné cette fois à trois ans de prison le 2 juin 1858 pour « offense à la morale religieuse » dans son ouvrage De la justice dans la Révolution et dans l’Église. La loi ne sanctionne pas seulement des écrits mais aussi des paroles malheureuses pour lesquelles des quidams sont envoyés en prison.
L’avènement de la république conservatrice de M. Thiers, en 1870-1871, ne change pas la donne. Il faut attendre le triomphe définitif des républicains « opportunistes » (Gambetta, Ferry…) pour que la loi de 1819 soit abrogée et remplacée par la célèbre loi du 29 juillet 1881 qui établit une complète liberté d’expression. La loi est combattue en vain par l’évêque et député d’Angers Mgr Freppel qui s’inquiète de ce que les mots peuvent provoquer des actes à leur image : « Le fait est l’expression de l’idée ».

Vers une résurgence du délit de blasphème ?

La loi du 29 juillet 1881 rapproche le droit français du droit anglo-saxon et notamment du droit étasunien qui repose sur le Ier amendement de la Constitution : « Le Congrès n’adoptera aucune loi relative à l’établissement d’une religion, ou à l’interdiction de son libre exercice ; ou pour limiter la liberté d’expression, de la presse ou le droit des citoyens de se réunir pacifiquement ou d’adresser au Gouvernement des pétitions pour obtenir réparations des torts subis. ». Mais alors qu’aux États-Unis, la réprobation publique dissuade chacun d’abuser de leur liberté, rien de tel en France où les caricaturistes se déchaînent contre le pouvoir et plus encore contre l’Église. Ces attaques d’une rare violence s’apaisent toutefois après la Grande Guerre de 1914-1918, les tranchées ayant rapproché les hommes par-delà les différences de croyances.
Une brèche est ouverte cependant dans le droit français le Ier juillet 1972, sous la présidence de Georges Pompidou, avec l’adoption de la loi Pleven, du nom du garde des Sceaux René Pleven. Adoptée à l’unanimité, la loi valide l’argumentaire de Mgr Freppel (1881) en introduisant un nouveau délit de « provocation à la discrimination, à la haine ou à la violence » commise envers des individus « à raison de leur appartenance ou de leur non-appartenance à une ethnie, une nation, une race ou une religion déterminée ! » La loi, qui plus est, autorise les associations communautaires à se porter partie civile en poursuivant les propos de haine. Il va s’ensuivre une concurrence victimaire entre ces associations qui va culminer au début du XXIe siècle.
Alors qu’une réintroduction du délit de blasphème dans le droit français semblait impensable, la question est réapparue à la fin du XXe siècle, du fait de menées séditieuses au sein de la population issue de l’immigration musulmane. Ces menées font suite à la révolution islamiste iranienne qui a excité le ressentiment des foules musulmanes à l’égard de la modernité occidentale et relancé le djihad contre les « mécréants » (chrétiens).
L’événement détonateur a lieu en 1988 avec des Versets sataniques de l’écrivain britannique d’origine indienne Salman Rushdie. L’ouvrage est interdit dans tous les pays musulmans et même au-delà, étant jugé blasphématoire à l’égard du prophète Mahomet. L’ayatollah Khomeiny proclame une fatwa et offre une prime d’un million de dollars à tout musulman qui assassinera l’écrivain « n’importe où dans le monde ». Le traducteur japonais de l’ouvrage sera exécuté de même que le recteur de la mosquée de Bruxelles que le roman de Rushdie n’avait « pas choqué ».

En France, les soutiens à l’égard de l’écrivain sont loin d’être unanimes. Jacques Chirac déclare ainsi : « Je n’ai aucune estime pour monsieur Rushdie. J’ai lu ce qui a été publié dans la presse. C’est misérable. Et en règle générale, je n’ai aucune estime pour ceux qui utilisent le blasphème pour faire de l’argent. » Contraint de vivre dans la clandestinité, Rushdie se verra refuser à trois reprises l’accès au territoire français et ne rencontrera jamais le président Mitterrand.

La question la plus épineuse demeure celle de la représentation de Mahomet, actuellement interdite, même si des portraits du prophète ont existé, notamment dans le monde chiite. Dans les années 1980, on pouvait encore trouver par exemple des images de Mahomet sous forme d’affiches à vendre dans les marchés iraniens !
Si l’Etat saoudien, wahhabite, a détruit plus de 98% de son patrimoine historique en raison de son iconoclasme (prohibition des images), il est difficile d’en retrouver la raison théologique arrêtée. En islam, le savant est avant tout juriste et les interprétations propre à de multiples jurisprudences.
Le monde islamique est tout sauf homogène. À la majorité sunnite s’opposent différentes confessions rivales, dont les chiites, que les sunnites ont parfois peine à considérer comme de véritables musulmans. Qui plus est, jusqu’au XXe siècle, l’empire ottoman, l’un des principaux États islamiques, était encore peuplé d’une majorité de chrétiens de diverses confessions. Très tôt donc, de façon similaire à l’Europe des Temps modernes, les gouvernants musulmans ont vu dans les déviances religieuses et les blasphèmes, y compris les injures venant d’un chrétien, des atteintes à la religion et, plus grave encore, à la cohésion de l’État. Toute injure venant d’un chiite ou d’un chrétien, même sous le coup de la colère, pouvait révéler chez ces personnes une hostilité refoulée à l’égard de la religion établie. C’est pourquoi le blasphème pouvait être puni de mort.
L’historien Gabriel Martinez-Gros cite le cas d’un chiite qui, au XIIIe siècle, se présente à la grande mosquée de Tripoli (Liban) et, dans un accès de folie, hurle qu’Ali est Dieu. Il est aussitôt mis en pièces. Ibn Battouta, voyageur du XIVe siècle, rapporte aussi qu’un ermite musulman du Maghreb se vanta d’être meilleur que le Prophète parce que lui pouvait se passer de femme ! Il fut décapité sans façon.

En 2005, en réaction à l’assassinat du cinéaste hollandais Theo Van Gogh par un islamiste, le journal danois Jyllands-Posten publie une dizaine de caricatures de Mahomet qui enflamment une partie du monde musulman : manifestations, campagnes de boycott contre le Danemark et même menaces d’attentats. En Iran, en Syrie ou au Liban, des ambassades et consulats danois sont attaqués.
En solidarité, des journaux européens publient à leur tour les dessins. En France, l’hebdomadaire satirique Charlie Hebdo monte au créneau en faisant paraître de nouvelles caricatures. Celles-ci seront à l’origine de l’attentat du 7 janvier 2015 qui coûtera la vie à 11 personnes dont 8 membres de la rédaction.
Mais c’est surtout devant les tribunaux que les blasphémateurs sont désormais traduits. Se prévalant de la loi Pleven de 1972, la Grande Mosquée de Paris ne peut faire moins que d’attaquer en justice Michel Houellebecq pour avoir déclaré que l’islam était la religion « la plus con ». L’écrivain, qui sera finalement relaxé au nom du droit à la critique, reprenait les thèses de son maître à penser, Arthur Schopenhauer, lequel affirmait que « le Coran, ce méchant livre » constitue « la plus triste et la plus pauvre forme de théisme ».
Sur internet, les réseaux virtuels exacerbent les griefs. Souvenons-nous de la tempête médiatique déclenchée en janvier 2020 par une adolescente nommée Mila pour avoir déclaré dans une vidéo sur Internet : « L’islam c’est de la merde. » La lycéenne sera menacée de mort et devra se déscolariser. Son inculpation pour incitation à la haine sera toutefois classée sans suite.
De façon paradoxale, le débat sur le blasphème à l’égard de l’islam en vient à opposer une poignée de terroristes qui bénéficient de la coupable indulgence de quelques intellectuel(le)s à la grande masse des Français, y compris des musulmans représentés par le recteur de la mosquée de Paris, lequel dénonce ceux (et celles) qui jugent les musulmans inaptes aux valeurs démocratiques et plaide pour « Que Charlie Hebdo continue d’écrire, de dessiner, d’user de son art et surtout de vivre. »
Deux camps s’affrontent désormais au sein de l’islam de France : d’une part ceux, majoritaires, qui aspirent à s’intégrer et s’assimiler à leur pays d’adoption, d’autre part ceux qui, à l’instar des terroristes, veulent précisément empêcher cette assimilation. Par leur tuerie de Charlie Hebdo, ils signifient aux « mécréants » : « Agissez entre vous comme bon vous semble, sur la démocratie, la religion, les relations sexuelles et le reste. Mais laissez-nous en-dehors de tout ça et ne vous mêlez pas de nos affaires à nous, musulmans ! » C’est un discours qui bénéficie, hélas, pour l’heure, de la complaisance de certains milieux abusivement qualifiés de « progressistes ».Le bouddhisme aussi

royaume de Thaïlande, on ne plaisante ni avec le roi ni avec la religion d’État, le bouddhisme. Les touristes sont invités à la bienséance dès leur sortie de l’aéroport de Bangkok avec une grande pancarte affichant « Buddha is not for decoration – Respect is common sens ». Dans la Birmanie voisine, en 2015, un restaurateur néo-zélandais et ses deux collègues birmans ont été condamnés à deux ans et demi d’emprisonnement et des travaux forcés pour avoir publié sur les réseaux virtuels une publicité qui présentait Bouddha, affublé d’un casque audio.
Le Sutta Pittaka, recueil qui rassemble les discours de Bouddha, évoque l’attitude du Siddhartha Gautama lorsque on lui rapporte les insultes dont il est l’objet : « Si quelqu’un parle de moi ou du Dhamma avec colère, vous ne devez pas vous mettre en colère (…). Car si vous le faisiez, vous ne serrez plus capable de reconnaître si ce qu’ils ont dit était vrai ou non. » De même, la louange, si chère à la patristique chrétienne, n’est pas recommandée. Il faut simplement reconnaître le vrai et dire « ceci est correct, c’est vrai, nous faisons comme cela et c’est notre manière. »

2024.03.17 13:21 No_Dark9371 Deviant: Prelude, Act I: Roll Like We Used To

The sounds of cheering and the blinding spotlights flooded the stadium as a lone male dressed in sharp attire and slicked back hair walked to the edge of the stage, the lights below painting his every step a bluish-white against his jet black shoes. He finally reaches the very edge, stopping short, and facing the crowd. Some are waving signs protesting the Androids, as they always did. Others were cheering. But the man continued on.
"Cyberlife has been the pioneer of technological advancement for centuries. Ever since Androids were introduced in 2021, we have been a rolling storm in the technological field." He began, facing the mounds of people with a bright smile, his pearly white teeth gleaming in the limelight.
"Androids have worked alongside humans, cared for us, cooked for us. Cleaned, even. They helped us in times of war, they were our admirals, our veterans. Our generals. They were our assistants, our friends. But they always seemed... Lifeless, don't you think?” The crowd went silent as he carried on. “Their voices, their actions. It wasn't truly human." He said, emphasizing the word human, as if this had been something the human race had longed for.
"So Cyberlife has heard your cries for a better, more real companion. In partnership with fellow Tech Stormchaser JCJenson, may I present..."
He dramatically bows, quickly stepping backwards before straightening up as a screen slowly lowers beside him, false smoke billowing out of dispensers as the auditorium darkens, save for the spotlights and stage lights. Yet even they were dimmed in anticipation, as if the world had completely stopped, patiently waiting for what will come next.
"Drones."
The screen flickered to life, showing a sleek model, with a round head and some sort of facial visor displaying vibrant blue eyes. It had silver, unkempt hair, and was dressed in a black sweater with the Sega logo in a graffiti-like font, and khaki pants, creating a more civilian-like appearance. “These drones… They’re like us. Real emotions, real knowledge. Real humanity, if I dare. They’ll grow alongside you, and your kids. They’ll be your friends, your watchmen.” He stated, his voice charged with the utmost amount of pride as he began to pace across the stage, yet keeping his gaze fixated on the crowd. “I’m sure you, your android, and your drone will get along just fine.” He said, stopping his pace, and fixing his collar, still smiling at the crowd as a price sign appeared above the drone’s head. ‘3,600$’. Surprisingly cheap for what looked like a rich boy’s toy. The model and dodgily inexpensive price tag faded out on-screen, replaced with a date. ‘4/30/3050’. “Christmas’ll come early this April, so make sure you get yours before they sell out! Until then everyone. It’s been real, and I’ll catch you all by the booths.” He began to walk away, his giddy attitude still present as cheers and applause surrounded him as the JCJenson and Cyberlife logos appeared on screen. He turned his head, sparing an exuberant wave to the crowd before walking offstage. “What do you wanna name ‘er, Charlie?” “I’ll name her…. V.” “V? Just one letter?”
“Yes, yes, Matthew. A perfect companion for our child.” The first thing V saw was two people. A man, no older than thirty, it seemed, and a woman of what seemed to be the same age. The man had a goatee, and jet black hair neatly combed back, while the woman had beautiful curly brown hair, and green eyes that seemed to sparkle in the light. The woman softly cradled V in her arms, the drone’s small form fitting in her arms like a puzzle piece. The male had dark brown eyes, and a bright, almost beaming smile.
“Ssssh…” She shushed, slowly rocking the baby drone back and forth, like a mother would do to her newborn child. V nodded off, her optics closing as she was lulled into a peaceful sleep by the ever so slow rocking.
The next nine odd years of V’s life went by like torn paper in a tornado. Now, here she was, ten years later. The smell of the London air filled V’s nostrils everyday as she headed out the door. V would be lying if she said she wasn't surrounded by love in her house. Growing up in a Christian Polish household had its perks, after all.
The cool autumn breeze brushed through the strands of V’s silver hair poking out of her hat as she began to trot down the steps of the front porch, the stairs lined with fallen leaves, painting it a maple, brown, and orange color. Her scarf flapped in the breeze as she headed downward.
“Oi, V!” A child-like male voice called as a boy no older than V herself stepped out alongside her, his dark brown eyes shimmering with a curiosity V had to come to know him with. He waved a gloved hand at her with a childlike smile on his face as he lightly jogged down the steps to the front yard, where V had stopped at. The kid had on a light coat, with a thin hoodie on his head, some of his black, unkempt hair poking out of it. Freckles dotted his face as his every breath came out in small wisps of vapor the sun completely blocked. He slightly loosened his cyan backpack straps, examining V’s own charcoal black one from a distance.
The just-rising sun was beaming, as per usual, painting the landscape and horizon a beautiful fire orange and light red, causing both siblings to cover their eyes slightly.
V turned around to face her brother when she was suddenly tapped on the shoulder by the human child as he raced off, not before saying “Jesteś tym, cześć.” (You're it, bye.)
“Oh, you… Goddammit, Ben-” V stopped herself short as she ran after him, down the lightly-packed street to the bus stop, roughly yet playfully tackling him. Not enough to send the two to the concrete pavement, but just enough to send them both stumbling past the dull red bus stop sign, and past a nearby oak tree, the duo bursting into child-like laughter as they dusted themselves off and straightened up.
“Tagging me like that… Seriously, Benjamin? You could've at least… Y’know, warned me first.” V shrugged, a playful smile on her face as her white optics focused on Benjamin’s face, her optics dilating as she craned her head to the right.
“Eh. where's the fun in that, urodzinowa dziewczyna?” (Birthday girl), he replied, a warm, child-like smile on his face.
A rotating, cloud white circle with silver accents appeared on Benjamin's face as a window on the left side materialized, with Ben's fingerprint, blood type, and various other details.
Name: Benjamin Nowak
Age: 9
Blood Type: O+
Height: 4 feet, 2 inches
Weight: 65 lbs
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Dark Brown
Skin Tone: Fair
Medical History: No significant medical issues or allergies reported.
Family History: Both parents alive and well, and one older sister. No history of hereditary diseases reported.
Education: Currently attending primary school with good academic performance.
Hobbies: Enjoys outdoor activities such as playing tag and riding bikes. Shows interest in building and tinkering with gadgets. Big fan of grand strategy games.
Personality Traits: Energetic, curious, and friendly. Demonstrates empathy and kindness towards others. Shows a knack for problem-solving and creativity.
V allowed a small chuckle to escape her lips as she paced around the bus stop, gazing at the various hovercraft passing by, the 3D signs that beckoned her to take their hands. Her semi-usual gazing at the billboards, the skyscrapers in the distance that accompanied the ancient Big Ben clocktower seemed to stretch up and touch the heavens, the occasional passenger jet streaking through the British sky, the quietness of the suburbs almost caused the young drone to miss the bus.
The yellow and black school bus pulled up next to the stop, the electric engine’s soft hum an only indicator of its presence to the unobservant. Only a short but noticeable nudge got V to snap out of her trance and run after her brother, rushing up the steps and paying the usual fare of 3.50£ that drones always had to pay. Benjamin, however, got on the bus without having to pay a single nicker. Depositing the money into the farebox, V quickly snatched the ticket from the pass insertion area, proceeding to the back of the bus.
Past the comfortable seating the humans were granted, and into the section aptly labeled via holograph: “Drone Section.” Without so much as a word, the drone child stepped in, and was greeted by around twenty androids and drones standing motionless, like cheese pieces on a board. But something seemed to call to her, an overwhelming force that pushed V to a vacant spot, joining the frozen masses.
ENGAGING TRANSPORT MODE.
3…. 2…. 1….
Then, there was nothing.
When V activated, she was greeted with a splitting headache, and light dizziness. Side effects of sudden deactivation that she was all too familiar with. She looked around in a mild panic, only to find that she was the only one on the bus. The last one out, again. V was damn surprised she wasn't locked in for the upteenth time.
Stumbling out of the “Drone Section” like she had just come out of cryosleep, V’s every breath came out as a ragged pant as she used the nearby chairs for support as she shakily limped towards the entrance-exit area. Bracing on the glass of the driver's cabin, the silver-haired drone took a couple precious seconds to catch her breath, her vision a mass of colors and blurs.
“Jezus..” She mumbled, clutching her head and gritting her teeth, suppressing a groan of pain as another lightning strike of pain shot through her head, optics snapped shut for a second before she opened them once more. This time, her vision was much more clear, save for the rampant warnings and startup screens that flooded her peripheral vision. Not enough to block her vision, but just enough to be a nuisance.
The still-open bus doors allowed the chilly autumn breeze to flood in, making the Brit shiver slightly as maple colored, yellow, red, and orange leaves and stems blew in, some hitting her visor and causing V to mumble a string of rather colorful Polish swears before wiping the dead leaf off her face just as another white-hot pang of pain shot through her. That was the last of it, however.
CYBEROS BOOTING UP. . . . .
A white-outlined and black panel opened up on the top left of V’s HUD, various strings of code passing by faster than V could track before the Cyberlife and JCJenson logo appeared side-by-side.
Greetings, V!
Today is: 11/2/3060, 7:00am.
YOU'RE LATE. (AGAIN.)
Happy tenth birthday, V!
What a great tenth birthday this was.
V leaned off of the driver’s cabin, rubbing her temples and taking a deep breath as the weather displayed. “41°F”. Still slightly dizzy, V began to descend the stairs, allowing the cool November air to relax her, her body losing its tense, stiffened form as she stepped out of the bus.
She was met by the huge metal archway, with holographs displaying welcoming messages, or advertising clubs, and the school basketball team. On both sides of the pathway, laid benches next to railings spread out evenly around a large fountain in the middle. Beyond the railings were lush green lawn that seemed to shimmer in the morning sunlight. Students of all ages, mostly human, filled the pathways, their chatter mixing with the sound of footsteps on pebbles and the sound of leaves rustling.
In the center of the courtyard, the grand fountain stood as a symbol of the school's high prestige, its crystal-clear waters almost dancing in the sunlight and reflecting vibrant rainbows onto the surrounding architecture that seemed to spring to life. On the far side of the courtyard, V spotted the entrance to the main building, its sleek glass doors gleaming in the morning light. Above the entrance, the school's emblem, a stylized representation of a book, a pencil, and the British flag intertwined, was carved in stone high above, big and noticeable to all.
With a heavy sigh, V made her way through the crowd, and pushed open the glass doors, stepping inside. Inside the school building, V found herself in a spacious foyer adorned with modern furnishings and vibrant digital displays. The walls were lined with interactive screens showcasing announcements, schedules, and educational content, while holographic projections of famous historical figures like Nikola Tesla, King George V, Otto Von Bismarck, and various scientific phenomena hovered in the air, along with directions to help the students navigate the labyrinthine halls.
Welcome to Bromley Primary School!
To her left were the lockers. Only humans could use them, and they were filled to the brim with books, bags, and various other things either way, so V couldn't use any of them even if she wanted to. If she did try, she'd risk getting reported to the Headmaster. V already had a whole list’s worth of run-ins with Headmaster Marks, and V certainly did not want to draw the man’s ire today.
The corridors bustled with humans and drones, the strict dress code of white uniforms and dark-colored pants made it impossible to tell any one drone apart. V was particularly irked by this, but what was she to do? The humans always got to express themselves freely, with general restrictions, of course. Her kind always got the short end of the stick, and her home was the only place where she felt genuinely safe. Hats and jewelry were strictly prohibited for drones as well, regardless of religion.
Pavane Op. 50 softly played from the various speakers on the ground floor as the students cleared out to their classrooms. V hurriedly did the same, rushing up two flights of stairs in a panic as the late bell rang, before once again Pavane resumed playing.
“Piekielne piekło…” (Sodding hell…) V mumbled, breaking into a sprint as she bursted through the door to the second floor, sprinting down the hall in a futile attempt to not be called in late, blasting through the door and sending the classroom full of drones into a stunned silence.
V remained in the position she was in after she bursted through the door, the entrance wide open as the Brit struggled to catch her breath.
“DG-537,” The human teacher began, his voice booming as he addressed the completely exhausted child, as her heartbeat began to regulate, and her breathing to normalize. She straightened up, and mustered a weak “Yes, sir?”
But that wasn't her name. Why do they keep calling her that?
“You're late. Again. Put your jacket and the other things in the back with the others, and take your seat.”
As V tiredly stumbled to the back, she heard bits and phrases of the teacher’s mumblings of how drones were a disgrace to their society. She unzipped her light coat, which V was surprised wasn't dampened to no end with sweat.
Every part of her being wanted to carelessly throw her jacket to the neatly arranged pile of jackets, but V went against her body’s every cry, and painstakingly laid it out in a fashionable and proper manner, before heading to her desk and fighting the strong urge to fall asleep.
The day passed like a blur after that, and by the time V could properly process everything, she was standing with Benjamin in front of their home, the sound of the bus pulling off masking the whistle of the wind.
“So, how was school, sis?” He asked, his energetic attitude a polar opposite to V’s drained, and utterly exhausted demeanor.
“Spóźniłem się. Ponownie.” (I was late. Again.) V muttered tiredly, mustering a warm yet evidently exhausted smile as she opened the low gate to their house for her younger brother, who giddily ran through the gates and up the stairs, slightly slipping on the fallen leaves but regaining his balance. V allowed a shadow of a smile to cross her tired features as she followed him, walking up the stairs and fishing for her keys in her left pocket.
Pulling her hand out of her pocket, V clumsily fumbled with her keys while Benjamin tapped his foot, imitating Sonic’s idle animation as best as he could while V inserted the key into the lock, and turned it, the chilly breeze blowing into her back and sending a shiver down the drone's spine.
Ignoring the chill, she turned the key once more, unlocking the door and pushing it open. It was a modest house, not too big, and certainly not too small. Just a short walk away, a man lay hunched over on the couch in the living room, rubbing his temples while looking at papers. On the glass table in the middle were two empty liquor bottles and a shot glass.
Paying no attention to the man's state, or the lack of her mother being anywhere, V tiredly, and slowly sulked through the halls and towards the upstairs area.
V!” He called, making V groan in resignation, exhaustion, and a bit of apprehension as she descended the stairs, going back to the living room where Benjamin was obviously playing on his iPad, now dressed in regular home clothing, kicking his feet with happiness as he completed yet another puzzle.
“Tak ojcze?” (Yes, father?) She tiredly replied. She didn't have the energy to fight back against the call to obey every single order to the letter, not today. After an exhausting school day, V didn't want to have to put up with anything more.
“Come here.”
Giddy and gleeful, and a polar contrast to V’s tired form, Ben jumped up from his seat on the nearby reclining chair, running past V and heading upstairs, barely able to contain his childish giggles.
V rounded the corner, her coat and school wear still on as she walked into the living room. At the man’s gesture, she came closer, leaning over him and examining the paper.
We are in danger of foreclosure.
“You see this?” He points to the paper, earning a tired nod from the drone child.
“This is because of you.”
Huh?
When?
How?
Why?!
Thousands of questions with zero answers flooded through V’s head, as she stood there. Frozen, and in complete disbelief.

2024.03.15 15:00 No_Dark9371 WE'RE SO BARACK, AND I'M BACK IN THE KITCHEN!

The sounds of cheering and the blinding spotlights flooded the stadium as a lone male dressed in sharp attire and slicked back hair walked to the edge of the stage, the lights below painting his every step a bluish-white against his jet black shoes. He finally reaches the very edge, stopping short, and facing the crowd. Some are waving signs protesting the Androids, as they always did. Others were cheering. But the man continued on.
"Cyberlife has been the pioneer of technological advancement for centuries. Ever since Androids were introduced in 2021, we have been a rolling storm in the technological field." He began, facing the mounds of people with a bright smile, his pearly white teeth gleaming in the limelight.
"Androids have worked alongside humans, cared for us, cooked for us. Cleaned, even. They helped us in times of war, they were our admirals, our veterans. Our generals. They were our assistants, our friends. But they always seemed... Lifeless, don't you think?” The crowd went silent as he carried on. “Their voices, their actions. It wasn't truly human." He said, emphasizing the word human, as if this had been something the human race had longed for.
"So Cyberlife has heard your cries for a better, more real companion. In partnership with fellow Tech Stormchaser JCJenson, may I present..."
He dramatically bows, quickly stepping backwards before straightening up as a screen slowly lowers beside him, false smoke billowing out of dispensers as the auditorium darkens, save for the spotlights and stage lights. Yet even they were dimmed in anticipation, as if the world had completely stopped, patiently waiting for what will come next.
"Drones."
The screen flickered to life, showing a sleek model, with a round head and some sort of facial visor displaying vibrant blue eyes. It had silver, unkempt hair, and was dressed in a black sweater with the Sega logo in a graffiti-like font, and khaki pants, creating a more civilian-like appearance.
“These drones… They’re like us. Real emotions, real knowledge. Real humanity, if I dare. They’ll grow alongside you, and your kids. They’ll be your friends, your watchmen.” He stated, his voice charged with the utmost amount of pride as he began to pace across the stage, yet keeping his gaze fixated on the crowd. “I’m sure you, your android, and your drone will get along just fine.” He said, stopping his pace, and fixing his collar, still smiling at the crowd as a price sign appeared above the drone’s head, and along with it a model number. ‘3,600$’, 'AB-R643'. Surprisingly cheap for what looked like a rich boy’s toy. The model and dubiously inexpensive price tag faded out on-screen, replaced with a date.
4/30/3060’.
“Christmas’ll come early this April, so make sure you get yours before they sell out! Until then everyone. It’s been real, and I’ll catch you all by the booths.” He began to walk away, his giddy attitude still present as cheers and applause surrounded him as the JCJenson and Cyberlife logos appeared on screen. He turned his head, sparing an exuberant wave to the crowd before walking offstage.
Author's ramblings: OH, IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK! I spent exactly two days straight trying to think of what to write after I left the military-fiction genre. But I found something, and by God, I do think I may be back. WE'RE SO BACK, LADS! WE'RE BACK! WE'RE FUCKIN' BACK! I sorted some problems out, and this is far from being my usual military-orientated fic. It's time I spread to different avenues. Let's see where it takes us, shall we?

2024.03.15 11:01 Personal-Tea7226 Killer punchline

The room was a hive of activity as the detective walked in. Men and women wearing white overalls were busy taking photos, dusting for prints, taking notes and placing items in clear bags and a variety of other jobs. The detective stands just taking in the room, the sights, the smells, the noises, anything that could help to recall the scene later when trying to piece together evidence. Not that he particularly wanted to remember this scene. The woman appeared to have been frozen and was sat upright on the couch, her body had been cut in half vertically. Gelatinous globs started to drop from the body as it defrosted in the spring heat. She was holding what looked like a card. ‘Get well soon’ was written in gold script over a vase with flowers. It was the type of card you would expect a grandmother to get you if you had to stay in the hospital. “Detective Johnson” he said as he introduced himself to the coroner. “What can you tell me?” The coroner stood up turning to face the detective “in all my years in this job, I’ve never seen anything like this before. The body has been frozen for some time. I can’t determine a cause of death. If I had to guess I’d say she was frozen to death but we’ll know more when we find the rest of the body.” The detective looked at the woman’s body, or at least what was left of it. “The cut was made when the body was frozen and looks like it’s intact” the coroner continued. The detective used his pen to open up the card ‘Don’t worry about her guys, she’s all right! Best wishes Hugh Morris’ Was stamped inside. It looked like it had been written using an old typewriter. “Looks like we have ourselves a comedian.” He says grimly. He motions for one of the people in white suits “tag and bag this please” “yes sir.” Came the response and he immediately started taking pictures the card. A man wearing a charcoal suit walks into the room and flashes his badge “I’m special agent John Blake, I think this is the same guy I’m chasing. Let me guess the card is from a Hugh Morris right?” The two men finish working the crime scene together. “If you don’t mind I’d like to get in on this one I don’t like the thought of some sick SOB running around my town.” Detective Johnson asked “sure thing” Blake replied “I could probably use a second set of eyes this guy is too clean we’ve never even found so much as a fibre out of place. And the department is spread thin these days we’re trying to free up resources so I’ll take what help I can get. I’ll meet you back at the station and catch you up with what I have so far.”
“Sorry but department coffee isn’t the greatest.” Johnson said as he passed over the mug “that’s fine you get used to it” Blake replied smiling. He opens the black portfolio he was carrying on to the table and starts to take out photographs of bodies and crime scenes followed by a stack of various greeting cards. “This was his first. The victim was called Joel Strachlan, he was 34, single and unemployed. He was found face down in a bowl of cereal he’d actually been drowned in milk. This was the card he left.” Blake slid over a ‘congratulations on your new job’ card. Inside was that same typewritten lettering ‘well officer it looks like you have a cereal killer on your hands! Best wishes Hugh Morris.” Johnson looked at the card “this guy is messed up!” He said shaking his head. “A few weeks later a body was found by some fishermen in the middle of a lake. His arms and legs had been cut off then he’d been tossed in the water. When he was fished out they noticed he’d been cut open and restitched across his lower abdomen. During the autopsy they removed a bag from inside him containing another card, the victims wallet and two of the victims fingers.” Blake slide the second card over the front had a picture of an armchair with a note pinned to it saying gone fishing and in black writing underneath it said happy retirement. Inside was the same black typewriter lettering ‘what do you call a man with no arms or legs in the water?’ Then underneath ‘best wishes Hugh Morris’ “the drivers license in the wallet belonged to Robert Belfry or ‘bob’ to his friends. The fingers came back to confirm it. He left us both bits so we could I D him for the bloody joke! What do you call a man in the water? Bob! He chose his victim because of his name!” Blake grimaced as he took a long drink of his coffee “his next victim was a highway worker. He was found at the side of the road with a shovel imbedded in his head. His name was Douglas Garcia. Every crime scene appears to be staged but so far he’s not left behind a single shred of evidence. He has no victimology and none of the victims appear to have crossed over anywhere in their lives. I’ve been over these casefiles so many times. I see them in my sleep!” Johnson stared at the photo of the man laid at the side of the road with the shovel almost slicing the man’s head in half. “Nobody’s perfect, he will make a mistake and we’ll be there to catch him when he does!” Blake slides another photo over the table “his last victim. He chained him to wire fence, doused him in petrol and set him on fire, while he was still alive! He was 23 years old, he had his full life ahead of him. This sick bastard cut off his fingers and placed them in a bag with his wallet because he needs us to identify him or his ‘joke’ isn’t fulfilled! What do you call a man set on fire? Cole Jenkins! That’s who. This sick fuck killed for a god damn punchline!” Blake paced the room “your latest victim brings us up to date with his kills.” Johnson looks down at the photograph on the table still taking in what agent Blake had just told him when Blake’s phone rings out its shrill call. “Agent Blake.” He says as he answers the phone. He looks at detective Johnson “they’ve found the left hand side to our Jane doe.”
As they pull up to the road block at the towns limit sign they see the silver car parked up at the side of the road. Making their way over they can make out the other half of the woman behind the steering wheel. The ice crystals on her skin make it shimmer in the artificial lights that lit up the scene. Her eye was fixed open the greyish blue film made it look like a prop from a horror film. At first glance she didn’t look real, she looked like some macabre artists stunt or teen prank. And there was the card standing out in darkness like a beacon in all the madness of the scene ‘sorry you’re leaving’ Blake opens up the card to the familiar stamped lettering ‘don’t panic, she’s only left town. best wishes Hugh Morris.’ “The staging is getting more elaborate” Blake said as he observed the scene. “He’s getting braver with them, and we still have nothing on this guy!”
Back at the station Blake was pacing trying to work what evidence they had “He’s not going to stop, not unless we stop him! But how do you find someone that you know nothing about? He leaves no traces not one. His victimology is all over the place, they have nothing in common, there is no crossover in their social or professional lives. How do you even find someone like this?” The high pitched shrill of agent Blake’s phone rings out “agent Blake” the blood rushes from his face as he hangs up Johnson shakes his head in disbelief “don’t tell me there’s been another one so soon!” Blake picks up his coat “we might get lucky with this one.” They enter the building and the scene is one straight from hell. The dining table is set up for a romantic dinner. The white plates are set as though it were some fancy restaurant. There’s a bunch of red roses in vase in the centre of the table and tall pillar candles either side. Any other setting and it would have looked beautiful. There were a variety of oven dishes laid out on the table making it look like a banquet. Again normal circumstances and it would have looked amazing. Sat at the head of the table was a woman her forehead was wrapped with cling film to stop it falling forward. Blood trickled from her mouth. Her lips were a bright red, like she was wearing some macabre lipstick. A second strip of cling film wrapped around her neck helped ensure that her head stayed where it was. She sat topless her stomach had been cut away and laid out across her lap. All her internal organs had been removed and placed in the various dishes on the table leaving a gaping hole where her stomach should be. The reds and purples of the organs looked bright against the snow white table cloth. Wine glasses were full of blood. The chair opposite her had been pulled to one side making it look like someone had left the table and on the plate stood the card. A champagne bottle with the cork bursting open and bubbles over flowing the neck ‘congrats on your divorce’ was written in gold writing. Inside the card the message he’d left ‘what did the cannibal do after he dumped his girlfriend?’ “There’s another body upstairs” says the officer “we found him in when we did our sweep of the house.” Making their way upstairs they can see bright light of bathroom glowing from the end of the passage. Walking in the metallic smell of blood hits them. The blood stands out a bright crimson red against pearl white of the porcelain. Sat on the toilet with his head tilted back showing off the slice across his neck like a grotesque grin was the husband. His suit was red with the blood that still trickled from the wound. Written in blood on the wall was the word ‘WIPED!’ The blood ran down like some horrific graffiti. The ruby red lettering seemed to pop off the clean white walls. The rest of the room was clean not another drop of blood was out of place. Blake stood shaking his head “it doesn’t make sense! Where’s all the blood? The scene says he slit his throat over the bath but where’s the rest of the blood? The arterial spray? Why is the crime scene so clean? The unsub can’t have cleaned to this level not unless he had been here for a long time! It doesn’t make sense.” After working the scene he tells Johnson he’s heading back to his hotel room. He wasn’t expecting sleep to come tonight but he would try and get a few hours.
Opening his door he freezes with terror as he sees the white envelope on the floor that same typewritten text ‘BLAKE.’ Many thoughts run through agent Blake’s mind, How the hell does the unsub know who I am? How did he know where I am staying? And the scariest question of them all. What was written on the card? Drawing his weapon he checks both ways down the corridor before stepping over the card and closing the door behind him. Slowly he checks each room making sure no one is hiding in a closet or under the bed. Being a small hotel room it doesn’t take long. He takes out a glove and picks up the envelope removing the card from its envelope a picture of a cartoony house on the front ‘congratulations on your new home’ written in a red script. Carefully he opens the card up ‘which street did the policeman live? Letsby avenue. Best wishes Hugh Morris.’ Blake sat looking at the message for him written in the card. He couldn’t possibly know his home address, could he? Checking the card over again Blake turns it over, written on the back was ‘return address; 529 acacia drive.’ Son of a bitch! That was his home address! This son of a bitch had his home address. Picking up his phone he called his wife. After several agonising rings she answers “hello darling are you ok?” Blake sighs a breath of relief “listen honey I need you to go somewhere, anywhere! Your sister house or your mother’s house but I need you to go now please. I don’t really have time to explain but I will when I get home I promise.” Blake grabs his coat and starts heading out the door calling Johnson as he leaves.
A couple of hours later Blake is pulling up at his house. The house is sitting dark and looks empty. The sinking feeling of dread fills his body as he sees the white rectangular shape pinned to the front door. With his gun and flashlight in hand he makes his way up the stairs of the porch. With the tip of his gun he opens the card to read the message inside ‘what did the policeman say to his wife? We should split up, we’ll cover more ground! Best wishes Hugh Morris.” He knew he had to enter the house but he was too afraid of what he would find. Reaching for his phone he calls in “this is FBI agent Blake I’d like to call in a possible homicide at 529 Acadia drive.” He hangs up the phone and opens his front door. The sight before him is worse than he could ever imagine. The door opened with the staircase directly in front of it. His wife’s severed head sat on the middle stair blood running down the hardwood steps. Her eyes were closed and her long blonde hair was matted and red where it sat in the pool of blood. There were three cards on the stairs above her head that read ‘I’m dead tired, if it’s ok, I’ll head upstairs!’ Turning away from the sight Blake throws up. Cursing the killer he continues through the house wiping away tears and sick from his face. He heads to the living area the carpet squelches under his feet. Slowly lowering his flashlight he’s sees the floor is a sea of red. Horrified he raises his flashlight again, focusing it on the doorway of the kitchen he sees a small wood chipper the end of it still dripping the thick drops of blood and tissue of his wife’s body. He drops his torch in the river of red at his feet, his arm dropping by his side as he feels all the life draining out of him. He’s startled back to his senses when he hears a chair from the table in the kitchen scraping on the floor followed by heavy footsteps as the frame of a large man enters the doorway. Raising his gun and aiming at the man he freezes as terror sets in. The man is wearing a baseball cap that helps cover most of his face all he can see is a rough beard and the pearly white teeth of his mouth. “Can’t cover much more ground than that can you!” His voice was deep and rough almost like a character from a Clint Eastwood movie. “Why? Why the fuck would you do this? Why? Tell me you fucking monster! TELL ME!!!” His fear turned to rage as the man began to laugh, a deep bellowing laugh “why not?” Was the response. Blake squeezed the trigger and was still squeezing as gun just clicked its empty chamber. He changes the magazine and reloads as the man staggers back falling to his knees and then on his face. Blake falls to his knees. Looking around the room he can see the spray marks of the blood and tissue up the wall. His knees feel cold as the blood seeps into his suit trousers. The gun feels heavy and foreign in his hand as he raises it to his mouth he can taste the oil and the smoke as the heat from the barrel warms his lips. A tear rolls down his cheek as he squeezes the trigger one last time.
The police car pulls up to the house and the two officers walk into the scenes that look like a backdrop for hell. Searching the rooms they see Blake on his knees slumped over the back of his head missing and his suit a reddish pink as it soaked up his wife’s remains. On his back was a card ‘deepest sympathies.’ Inside, in the familiar typewriter font, were the words ‘I shot myself in the head once, it really blew my mind!’

2024.03.13 01:39 Desorde_Cest_Moi The ToyBox: The urge to do Graffiti has gotten into your hands. Now what?

Hey! I just got into Graffiti at the beginning of this year and from reading this sub since then, I can see a lot of people are overwhelmed like was at first. Putting together all my shit for myself and figured I would make this for every one here in hopes to make things a little easier. Hopefully it helps someone out. There are plenty of other great resources in this sub as well so make sure you check them out. I would like to add to it over time, but only if folks are saying they get value out of it. (Forgive typos and shit. I will edit it over time. Started at work, finished at home, bong hits were had. You get the idea)
The ToyBox: The urge to do Graffiti has gotten into your hands. Now what?
Maybe you saw some Graffiti in your home town or maybe you live in a mecca for Graffiti. Hell maybe you are just a bored kid who likes to paint on shit. Either way there are a couple of questions you need to ask yourself before getting on with all this.
Why do you do this?
A simple and not so simple question. Watch any number of the documentaries mentioned in this thread and you will see there are a plethora of reasons for starting to write. Some good, some bad and everything in between? Does not have to be some crazy profound reason, but if you are willing to get arrested for this or worse, you might want to REALLY think about why you do this before you ever go put ink or paint somewhere it is not supposed to be.
What is the level of risk you are willing to take?
Are you willing to get arrested? Run from cops? Not tell those closest to you why you are always covered in paint? Not post every little sketch you do on line? When you start throwing down blazin burners are you gonna be cool with not posting it on line to preserve your name? Remember you are not on stage to see receive the applause for your efforts.
Is this a phase or a hobby?
Perfectly honest question. If it is a hobby, you can build yourself a wall at your house or fill up black book after black book. Just know that once you put that can, pen, marker, roller, to a surface, you have become criminal and a vandal. Does not matter how innocent the location. In the eyes of greater society you are a degenerate. The cop isn't going to ask you about your GPA or if you are a "good kid" when he is slamming you onto the hood of a car or worse. Plus some of the places you may have to paint, the cops could be the least of your worries. Do you have street smarts?
Have you done the proper research to do this without causing harm to you or others?
You decided you like graffiti, acquired some paint and now its time to hit the train yard or the heaven spot right? WRONG. Learn about the graff scene in your area (or the town over which is what it should be). You don't want to blow up spots or fuck up things for other writers. If you think you are ready for the train yard. You are not. You can want to go there all you want, but my recommendation is finding someone to take you under their wing if you are lucky enough. The Freight Graff writers are almost like a special subsection of writes IMO like the repelling folks and those doing massive pieces pushing things forward. You want to get there? Prepare to put in A LOT of time.
Preparation, Training, Practice? I just want to paint on shit man.
BASICS BASICS BASICS
Can you make the basic alphabet look good? No frills or nothing. Can you write it out in an almost sterile capacity on a single line of paper with all forms and positions equal? If you can't, then you just found your first place to start. Yes, Graffiti has rules and you need to know them. Below is going to be a list of resources (that will continue to grow if my ass doesn't get too lazy). Spend a ton of your time immersing yourself in letters, typology, font, and how things like negative space, letter name weight, positioning etc. perform various functions and convey various things that you will use to get your message across in your writing.
If your hand styles look like shit. So will everything else. Learn each discipline before you decide you don't like tagging or piecing or whatever. Understanding the whole of the art form will help you see later on where you want to focus your attention. Remember, this is a craft of refinement. The more time you put into it and the more you invest in it the more you will get out of it. The more respect you have for the history the more you will understand and be able to interact with the community. It can also be a flash in a pan or a hobby for you, but from what I am seeing most people suck for a LONG time at this before they are amazing.
Think about an writer that you admire now and imagine their work ethic to get to the point that they are at. That is the commitment. Are you willing to suck for a long time to really get the best of what this craft has to offer and what you can train yourself to be? Remember the dope pieces you see on line were done in the heat of the moment and look that good. When you hear the footsteps or the sirens are you gonna run or finish the piece?
- Hand styles, Hand Styles, Hand Styles, Basics Basics Basics (See a pattern?) - Tags>Straight Letters > Throws once those become proficient >Piecing and beyond

Separate your practice from your fun so that you are not learning bad habits.
This is a tip that can help you when learning anything. Separate your time into doing fundamental exercises like line drills, hatching, writing basic forms in various ways etc. and sketching for fun/for things you plan to get up with it. You will see yourself improve much faster this way, but if you are always just fucking around then your work will reflect that.
Put in more time on fundamentals than on just having fun at first.
It is going to suck, but at first this shit is boring as hell. I am new and I spend a lot of time writing basic shit (hence why you won't see anything up on my profile), but I have a knack for organizing information and learning things so here we are. Figured since I was organizing my thoughts I would throw it together for others. Think about all the time you have where you are just bullshitting or just looking at your phone. Replace those moments with writing the basic alphabet, with writing the same letter as many different ways as you can think of. They make tiny notebooks. Keep one with you and just write the alphabet in those and line drills cause it fits in your back pocket (If you practice tags in it, do it when no one is around and make sure you get rid of the pages, would hate to leave that about and have someone stumble upon it exposing you). If anyone asks, tell them you've taken up an interest in penmanship and want to maybe get into calligraphy and this is the basics. IDK make up your own reason that was the first one that came to mind.
Patience
Above all have patience. If you really have been bitten by this bug then you are going to be doing this for a long time. Listen to some podcasts and read interviews of writers to see how long some of them have been refining their form. This is a leisurely stroll to the perfect piece and I hope you never get there because then you may stop writing. Case in point I am getting into this much later in life (I am not in my 20s, but also not what you would consider "old" I guess). When I was a teenager, I couldn't draw for shit like my homie who did graff, so I went the photo route. Now here I am picking up graff and he hadn't done it in years. Homie just sent me a wildstyle he did the other day in his backyard. Shit's like riding a bike. I may only have a few bombing years in me, but I plan on doing this for a LONG time and I hope you do to if its got a hold of you that way.
Should I do freights?
Probably not. I am no authority to speak on this, but do you research and I am sure you will be able to decide for yourself. All I will say is this is a culture in itself and there is A LOT that goes into this.
Asking for Help on Graff Help
Honestly, this is the reason for this whole post lol. I would really like to cultivate a bit of a better experience for everyone using this sub and maybe pull in some more input from some real heavy hitters because I know they lurk.
What should I write? Should I put a tag here? and other similar basic questions like these.
These types of questions I urge you to search within yourself and answer. The essence of graffiti is individuality. Don't give that away from the jump. No one here can and should be telling you what name to write. If you want to write PANSY then you go right ahead, Peaches. Just make sure it looks dope.
Is this good?
This one is my favorite. If you have to ask if it is good, it is either one of two things. Not good and you know that or it is good and you know that and want your ego stroked. There are plenty of other subs for that. This question will help you none, but this will. Does it look the way you ultimately want it to look? Does it look the way you envisioned in your head? Does it look like the work you admire? Is there absolutely nothing you would change? If you don't think that, then none of us are going to think that.
What we can help you with is elements. How can I get my lines straighter, what do you think of the shadows, does the structure of this look off to anyone. Are there too many fucking halos and do dads. These are meaty questions that will get you the feedback you need to get better and ultimately make this sub better. You will never get rid of trolls of course, but there's a lot of shit that gets posted in here that belongs on your parents fridge more than it belongs here.
How to help yourself
Don't just look at Graff on line. Graff on line has to deal with the algorithm. Everything you see is what is hot and keeps people looking. Get into the dark corners of the Internet and find some old forums. Literally go out in your town (no matter how small) and hunt for that shit. It is there, I promise you. Plus it is good practice for blending in and scoping things out for missions later. More on that in the future. This mofo is already getting long enough.
Emulation and not biting
Copying things is a great way to de-construct them! Just don't pass them off as your own!
When to write
All.The.Time. Everyday even if you have to do it with a flashlight under the covers. Think about letters when you're not writing. Look at letters on signs and what you are reading to see combinations that you want to try to fit together. Inspiration is literally everywhere when you have a enormous canvas.
Breaks and plateauing
Take breaks! Take a couple days off. Don't think about graff. Go do some other shit, and it will rejuvenate you. As much as you want to immerse yourself in anything you can't and outside influence is needed to stave off repetition. If you start to hit a wall then go back to the basics. Something needs to advance fundamentally for you to use that tool within your arsenal when writing.
That is it! That is all I got for now. Below are a bunch of resources and shit that have helped me and I would really like to continually add to this. If the response is positive then I will continue to edit it over time. Feel free to mention some of your favorite bombing vids, sites for looking at graff etc. in the comment. I will comb through and add stuff over time as well.
May your caps never clog and your feet always be faster.
