# Dancing Stars (Schizomythology) **Archetype**: tricky jester **Shadow**: brutal seducer **Antagonist**: [[LH_angels.bio|Aнгелы, окровавленные в пламени танцующих звёзд]] (see also the [[NARR_DS&BA_conflict|conflict]]) Dancing star create themselves in three metamorphoses. Nietzsche provides an initial description: (1) A camel that takes the whole weight of old values on its back. Bloody angels are protectors of some old values. (2) A lion that challenges the golden dragon. Every over-dragon's scale is the shining shield and shell of inanimate angels. (3) A child who celebrates on a feast with dancing stars. [[NARR_IA-Schizomythology|Inanimate angels]] sting them with their heartsnatchers. I would like to highlight a connection of dancing stars to both [🥎😻🌴aciδζραφίχ❤️‍🔥🥜🌈](https://cari.institute/aesthetics/acidgrafix) aesthetics and [acid fantasy](https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/41610/Acid_Fantasy_Bundle/). In my understanding, dancing stars are concepts, heuristics or problem solutions beyond one's ability to conceive at the moment (comp. Fisher M., Acid Communism, 2016). It may be a new value worth of making. Or a [[The Seducer|seducer]] who calls yearning but never pays off. Dancing stars claim to be the humanity's defeat and the midday of post-human era at personal and over-human scale. (comp. [[NARRATIVE_W2-Nomad|Frenzied Flame]]) #PLAY/MAXANA/RULES/BreakRules In a game, I would like to make dancing stars able to overgrow some initial game rules. As with gates and keys in metroidvanias, or progress systems in RPGs, dancing stars will open new game features when they accumulate enough strength to break a new rule. Notably, when one rule breaks, we get two or more new rules at the mechanical level and more possibilities at the game's semiotics (hydra). Dancing stars are chaos avatars. Dancing stars' will is in their weapon: "Rainbows of Chaos", the singing flame (comp. R. Negarestani's "inorganic demons", the anonymous agent of externality). Flame wants to grow into fire and take unseen forms. All it touches, celebrates existence. It feeds on gods' flesh. Angels hate it and aim their snatchers at flaming star-shaped hearts. ## Encounters - Link's Awakening ![[ATTACHMENTS/REFS/ZeldaAwakening/star.png]] ### Appendix: Can DALL-E give birth to a dancing star? **Prompt**: "I want you to make a concept art for a computer game character for my assignment for an AI class. Make me a concept art following my directions. Imagine yourself a contemporary rebellious promising underground artists with unbelievable talent and really good taste. The concept art must be a square detailed colourful digital drawing on the completely white background containing the following objects: (1) a dragon; the dragon has an empty aquamarine globe instead of a chest, it has a levitating smile instead of its head; the dragon has three stars shining above the smile: the red one, the orange one and the green one; the dragon has small wings green on inside and blue outside. The character laughs aiming its star-shaped eyes towards above. At the same time it spreads its wings in joy of the moment. Make it DADA avant-garde style melted with acidgrafix aesthetics, nu-rave style and new weird themes." ![[IB/DS_Dall-E.webp]] - The globe chest was beyond DALL-E's imagination. *** ![[DANCINGSTARS]]
