As he lay in bed he could hear Thorin still humming to himself in the best bedroom next to him:

Far over the misty mountains cold

To dungeons deep and caverns old

We must away, ere break of day,

To find our long-forgotten gold.

Bilbo went to sleep with that in his ears, and it gave him very uncomfortable dreams.

This moment from chapter 16 of The Hobbit comic adaptation symbolizes the core of the relationship between Bilbo and Thorin, in this version of the story.

Bilbo and Thorin are both awake long after everyone else is asleep, kept up by their anxieties over the journey.

Bilbo’s room is decorated with a bunch of little objects; Thorin is in a spare room that is completely empty. It’s a “visual reference” to the idea that Bilbo has a home in Bag End, and tons of little treasures of his own that he’s very attached to— but Thorin has none, because the Lonely Mountain and its “long forgotten gold” was taken from him.

(You can read the full comic adaptation here on tumblr, on Webtoon, or on Ao3, and tip the artist/preview the next chapters on Patreon!)

It’s a metaphor you see. You put the thing that does the fucking in your mouth. But you don’t give it the power to fuck. Cause you just got fucked.

No wait you guys don’t understand to be Mandalorian is to follow the way of the Mand’alor it’s been drilled into our head since episode one and Din is the Mand’alor he’s finding his own Way again he’s following the way of the Mand’alor because he is the Mand’alor you don’t understand—

#it’s about the symbolism #it’s about the parallels #I will not shut up about this #the mandalorian #din djarin

It’s unfortunate that I say “oh wow I love cannibalism” and mean it as like “I love the symbolism of needing and wanting someone So Much that you have to have a part of them Inside Of You in a way that is stronger than a sexual need” or like “this is a form of holy communion” or like “this is one of the oldest ways to show desperation and fear and raw animalism with the consumption of another” and people just hear “I’m a weirdo that wants to eat someone”

#text #not good omens #OKAY BUT LISTEN #it’s about how some cultures practice cannibalism as a part of honor for the body and soul during death rites #and its about how some cultures throw out the word cannibal the same way they would murderer #and like it’s about growing up being told that to be holy you have to consume the flesh and blood of another #and they try to make it sound pretty but that’s what it IS #the literal consumption of the divine! #it’s about how we consume the body to feed the SOUL #and like it’s about how you can elevate another person to that holy status #that you can love them so much you need to have a part of them inside of you #it’s about the SYMBOLISM #and it’s about honoring other people even if you don’t understand them #i need to be clear about that

nah because not to gas myself up or anything but every time i see a show doing the resurrection trope (ESPECIALLY between lovers) i’m like “ok but pomegranate ink did it better”

#it’s about the symbolism #love as resurrection…strength as resurrection…agency as resurrection #something like that perhaps #ok that’s enough out of me i hate complimenting myself #m’s thoughts #pomegranate ink

Priest L and demon Light is the most important thing in my brain rn

#it’s about the ICONOGRAPHY #it’s about the SYMBOLISM #it’s about L abandoning his faith for an even more compelling love #it’s about light being unapologetically evil and sexy #and mostly it’s about my religious trauma going absolutely feral for desecrating faith

resurrection is sort of romantic, isnt it

I do sort of wish western anime fans would analyze anime and manga from a framework of japanese historical and cultural context. Specifically a lot of works from the 90s being influenced by the general aimlessness and ennui that a lot of people were experiencing due to the burst in the bubble economy and the national trauma caused by the sarin terrorist attack. I think in interacting with media that’s not local to our sociocultural/sociopolitical sphere it’s easy to forget that it’s influenced and shaped by the same kinds of factors that influence media within our own cultural dome and there ends up being this baseline misalignment of perception between the causative elements of a narrative and viewer interpretation of those elements. It’s a form of death of the author that i think, in some measure, hinders our ability to fully understand/come to terms with creator intent and the full scope of a work’s merits

#exilley's diary #this is about utena btw like. yeah its feminist and a coming of age horror story but also #it was in part ikuhara’s response to the changes he observed in the corporate anime industry and an attempt to subvert those trends #it doesnt really help that i feel certain aspects of the show are filtered through translation and certain cultural emphasises are lost #like for instance. the blood type symbolism. or wakaba’s gestures with making packed lunches #theyre incredibly japanese expressions of conventional gender roles that non-japanese audiences might not fully resonate with
