#still symbolic tho!

[jelly-ship]

Made some art for a genderbent AU! This one is just Jack (Whose name I'm completely undecided on for this... I've got literally everybody but him it's kinda funny)

These were honestly so much fun to do :D

#For names I'm kinda torn between Jolene (as a reference to the song) and just Jane bc let's be real Jack is a basic ass name #tbh I would love to hear any thoughts on that #the sheer amount of AUs you can do this these guys is amazing #and tbh genderbenders are just fun to do #also we did a bit of a reversal on the hair length stuff #still symbolic tho! #Probably gonna make more of these guys #I also changed up the choir look a bit bc I felt like it somehow didn't fit with this version #IDK #Hopefully better image quality this time! #jack merridew #jack lotf #lotf jack #lotf #lord of the flies #lotf fanart #fanart #genderbent au #believe it or not my main guideline for pre-island Jack behavior is just Percy Weasley if he sucked more #i think it's pretty accurate #this is a massive wall of tags sorry guys

The series has so far been consistent in presenting a merging of souls as something that can't be undone. The part of Gideon that Harrow took, I don't know if she can give it back. I don't know if Gideon would even want her to.

Maybe I'm a romantic, but the ideal ending to me, the most satisfying conclusion, would be Harrow balancing the scale by giving a piece of her own living soul to become a part of Gideon. Not Gideon's heart returned, but Harrow's heart in return. We've seen lyctorhood as a one-sided consumption, and we've seen it as a mutual consummation. We've still never seen it tried as a reciprocal exchange.

#this is how perfect lyctorhood can still w- *gunshot* #for real tho #the part of Gideon Harrow still has is symbolically her heart right? #what are we even doing here if Harrow doesn't rip her own heart out of her chest to teach it to beat in Gideon's? #what is the point of any of this if the empty parts of Gideon don't get filled up with Harrow's love #the locked tomb #ntn spoilers #nona the ninth #griddlehark #harrow nonagesimus #gideon nav #harrowhark nonagesimus #alex I'll take 'neurodivergent harrowhark' for 500

no living man may hinder me: The Gilded Wraith of Numenor

from the Reverse Gondolin AU, based on @who-needs-words's idea for Ar-Pharazon's fate! (they also wrote a ficlet for it, check it out here!)

#silm #silmarillion #lotr #lord of the rings #witch king #witch king of numenor #ar pharazon #eowyn #reverse gondolin au #ooh i need to do this pose for fingolfin and morgoth #the parallels though! eowyn facing pretty much certain death #but being brought back by hope in the Halls #while fingolfin faced morgoth because he lost all hope #also: in the au sauron & pharazon took a bunch of numenorean tech with them before the Downfall #bc nobody attacked valinor so all the airships and engines and stuff were still on the island #so we get Steampunk Tech Numenor #(perfect symbolism w industrialization too!) #which means of course the witch king of numenor gets a Gun Sword #which is frankly terrifying #his face is still visible here bc the tiny bit of maia/peredhel ancestry (still like 20x more than aragorn tho) protects him from the rings #enough that his fea & hroa haven't faded; just been corrupted #also in the au bc of Prince Elrond's involvement in numenorean politics ar pharazon is way more aware of potential loopholes #in the 'no living man' thing #aka arwen and galadriel #and honestly he expected to be slain by arwen #so he still overlooked eowyn (and merry) #just for very different reasons #less hubris in a 'i am invincible' way #and more hubris in a 'you arent nearly important enough to bother paying attention to' way

"At least she’d still be warm."

check out through the valley to life by @mayybirds

[start id:

a digitally drawn comic made up of ten panels, featuring an abstracted scene from the resident evil fanfic "through the valley to life" by @mayybirds, where ethan breaks through to eveline in chapters 3 and 4.

the first panel is entirely in black and white, featuring a dilapidated room, an upturned wheelchair in the background. the dark gray background turns to white further down the panel, where ethan and eveline stand off, eveline with her hands straight out and exuding black mold, while ethan's hand reaches up to cover his face, standing his ground.

the second image fades into an image of eveline hiding in a vent, with a pair of legs walking past it in search of her. the image fades into black mold.

the third image is a snapshot in time surrounded by dark mold. eveline is younger, with a capital 'E' pinned to her chest and an unknown scientist in a lab coat injecting a needle into her arm.

the fourth image is a snapshot in time surrounded by dark mold. it simply depicts a larger hand harshly gripping a smaller person's wrist, assumed to be eveline. this image is accented by a burst of red-tinged black mold.

the fifth image is a snapshot in time surrounded by dark mold. a hazy white light surrounds mia winters as she bandages the wrist of someone off-screen, assumed to be eveline. behind mia floats the annabelle tanker in the water.

the sixth image is a pitch black canvas with a textured red tinge at the bottom.

the seventh image depicts a large reaching hand in inverted black and white on a spill of textured red and black, obscuring half of a face outlined in white.

the eighth image depicts eveline outlined in white on a black background, her one visible eye wide in shock. the canvas fades to a red-tinged white. an inverted black and white portrayal of ethan hugging a person that is partly obscured.

the ninth image depicts a background of eveline's stick figures in white on a black background. in a starker white, a stick figure of a woman is on the far left while a stick figure of a man is on the far right. in the middle, a stick figure of a little girl. the image fades to white.

the tenth image depicts ethan hugging an old woman, eveline. they are both in black and white except for eveline's red scarf. they are surrounded by a burst of protective black mold.

#mayybirds #resident evil #ethan winters #eveline winters #accessible #id in alt as well as under read more #i've had this in the works for a while but after i posted my last ttvtl fanart i realized there's no like. ACTUAL canon fanart for this fic #i debated waiting until the next chapter came out so as not to overwhelm the illustrious author but i don't have the strength forgive me #you ever read a fic that is everything you ever wanted and more? my forehead chakra forcibly activated while reading this fic #anyway also some fun symbolism notes: Ethan's face is always obscured in some way until the last panel #also the red tinge implies fear until the last panel where the red is merely a scarf—a ''red herring'' if u will. still around her neck tho

saw someone on twitter talking about the final moment in the recent pjo ep and percy realizing he can breath underwater and i just have so much to say about it omg

until that moment, percy's instances of tapping into his powers inherited from poseidon were purely accidental. they all came in moments of self-defense and he never made active moves to try and understand them. until that moment, he had rejected his father and any title as the son of poseidon. so this is the first moment we see percy accepting his powers and, to a certain extent, his identity as the son of poseidon.

#pjo tv spoilers #pjo #percy jackson #glow gabs #i don't see this as like. percy forgiving his father or embracing poseidon as a part of his life tho #i still believe that especially given the memory we see at the start of the episode that it just reinforces the significance of his devotio #to sally #but i think it's the start of him forging his own identity as his father's son and reclaiming his powers as his own instead of viewing them #as a symbol of a deadbeat dad and whatnot #idkidk #pjo twitter has me going crazy tho in both good and bad ways

[mieowkoid09]

I HATE Akio Ohtori SO SO MUCH but omg his WRITING. He was written spectacularly and his symbolism???? His dichotomy of his once cruelly naive "prince" and and his current warped self who despises yet somewhat desires to be back in that era of his life. His eternal split between the two becoming almost different people.

Makes me wanna redraw some of Akio's scenes with Dios as 51/49 KDJs or even Phos. But alas, the patriarchy/groomer/UGH symbolism that follows Akio and Dios is a stench I cannot get rid of and other RGU fanatics will probably point the swords of hatred at me if I do that

I still detest Akio Ohtori though for everything

#still tho can you imagine Old Phos sitting on that planet(or moon) thingy that Dios sits on #and also LHH as Dios and DKOS as Akio in the childhood-adulthood symbolism that RGU holds??? #rgu #revolutionary girl utena #akio ohtori #sku #shojo kakumei utena

Since Fulj and Holly exchanged chokers and then Ananza bought Oh a necklace (but looser than the girlfriends bc she still values whimsy and freedom in the AU)... Oh bought her a lil bracelet. And she is SO happy and adores it and them and she is very happy to show Deacon her cute friendship bracelet.

Cause. Ananza still adores Deacon in the AU and wants to dote on him like a mom despite how much taller he is (and probably the same age tbh).

#the daily life of a deity sucks #modern deities and their weird lives #imagine living your life just fine by scent and then suddenly you have two parent figures in your life that are your age #imagine this happening AFTER you meet a famous architect you admire and falling in love while thinking it wont ever happen #and then seeing everyone exchanging little things that are symbolic to them #and then realizing aw fudge my crush wont do that for me but thats ok i guess maybe still sadge tho #ymber dont be a neck freak in one time line challenge (failed)

this image lives in my mind rent free. there's so much here and i really wish the manga had gotten deeper into these two's deeply fucked up relationship bc it's fascinating.

according to wikipedia, yin (the black bit) represents the female/passive/negative principle in nature, while yang (the white part) represents the male/active/positive principle in nature. yin is covert, of the netherworld, the north side of a hill, the south bank of a river, the moon. yang is overt, belonging to this world, the south side of a hill, the north bank of a river, the sun. some other stuff too

the name hyuuga is written with the characters for "sun" and "approach", but the second character can also mean "defy". hinata's first name is just a different reading of the kanji of their surname (which is hilarious but that's not the point), but as a noun "hinata" means "sunny place" or "in the sun". i believe it's also been used to mean "the direction the sun is shining". with the reading "hyuuga", though, the same kanji is also an archaic noun meaning "facing (opposite) the sun". so hinata, the all-but-disowned heiress of the clan, is "a sunny place facing the sun" - both an undeniable part of her family, yet ostracized for her weakness.

neji's name means "screw", or it can refer to a key or a spring in like a watch or a clock or something. there's a few kanji it could be written in, but only one of them caught my eye - 螺旋 is a rarer way of writing "ねじ" (usually just written in hiragana afaik, tho neji the character's name is written in katakana) but the more common reading of 螺旋 is ら(螺)·せん - rasen. if you haven't already caught it, the kanji for rasengan is 螺旋丸­. that's not super relevant, just interesting. anyway, neji who "defies" the main family is one who "faces (opposes) the sun". but at the same time he's its strongest member (or. the one with the most potential. probably most of the jounin hyuuga were stronger than genin neji). so he's "a screw in the sun" - a fundamental piece of the machinery that it may not be able to function without, even if it can't be seen from the outside, like the inner workings of a clock.

idk where i'm going with this i just think these two are fascinating and i would've liked to seen more of them concerning one another

#naruto #naruto shippuden #hyuuga clan #hyuuga family bs #hyuuga neji #hyuuga hinata #people try really hard to give naruto a sun-moon dynamic with someone but like. that's silly #the narutoverse HAS sun-moon symbolism. just with hinata and neji #naruto has his full moon-crescent moon thing with sasuke tho which is also pretty nifty #also i freaking adore how they're positioned there #neji looks down on hinata. hinata looks up to neji #the moon resents the sun for shining but can't has no light without it. the sun doesn't need the moon but gives it light anyway #there was so much that could have been done with this #what they're meant to be vs what they are vs who they choose to become #the POTENTIAL #just realized i'm only ever interested in neji when hinata is also involved. and hinata is much more interesting to me when neji is there #i don't care about neji at all outside of that and i'm not too interested in canon!hinata outside of that either #it's kinda ironic bc when i first got into naruto i couldn't stand neji bc of how he treated hinata #ofc NOW i'm older and understand a bit more of what he was going through but it's still hard for me to like him most of the time #except when it concerns hinata. who is the main reason i didn't like him in the first place #go figure? i guess? #they are sososososososo fucked up and i love it #unrelated note: maybe the reason i can't really get behind naru/hina is bc all the interesting potential i can see just kinda went untouche #naruto au where hinata and neji spend the two year timeskip plotting a revolt and they kill hiashi while he's fighting hizashi #then while the war is going on they're running around in the background freeing every hyuuga they can find #naruto wins the war and turns around to see hinata completely restructuring the clan and takes inspiration for the village #he works with sasuke and sakura and the others to try and fix All That Shit #THAT'S a naru/hina i could get behind #also. when they kill hiashi i don't imagine it being like a ''mwahaha vengeance'' thing it'd be more like a tragedy #there'd be a flashback of how close hizashi and hiashi were as children and how growing up the way they did messed them up

[eternal-reverie]

the thing about it is- and i cannot stress it enough- no new information about the game itself was released today. we have exactly as much content to work with as we did 24 hours ago, yet somehow the hype alone of the re-confirmation that the game is in fact still alive has kicked us back into kh mode and reawakened our brains at full strength

LOL LITERALLY

the hold this series has over everyone is insane!!! Just a teaser image barely hinting at anything uploaded after so long has the fandom like this; it hilarious and truly inspiring! Like we were all just hibernating 😆

Haha this whole situation has me reminiscing through similar times in the past where we just get excited for trailer release dates (which I think I would crumble with scheduling that on my calendar if that were to happen again soon) and theorizing to the smallest details of the logos and what not

#*destati plays loudly in the bg for the kh fandom* #I love how passionate and enthusiastic everyone is it’s so infectious!!! #kh #khml #asks #I think I was still sorta in hiatus when the first round of khml news dropped with the new emblem symbol #which Im still obsessed over how it looks like a dandelion seed and builds off the previous emblem designs we’ve seen before!!! #i wish I had the brain power and energy to theorize more often #happy to see everyone else’s tho!!!
