#free to interpret either way

[somnimagus]

My page for @sheikahzine; about Impaz's duty to her village, empty of people and full of memories.

#legend of zelda #loz #twilight princess #loz tp #i'm still reeling that someone sent me an ask about this one.. that they took the time to find my tumblr and tell me they liked it #it really meant a lot; thank you to anyone that stops to leave comments like that. they make me happy #but yeah! here's the usual symbolism ramble: #i thought it'd be cool to have the 'spirits' flowing one way and the cats walking through them the other way #to kinda show the difference in life inhabiting the village in the past and present #link's face is covered because impaz was just waiting for 'the hero' so his clothes are what matters; not his face #and it (hopefully) gives a surreal and intangible sense to 'the hero' she could only hope would actually show up #you can feel free to interpret the glowy blue sheikah as ghosts or just as memories of the past! i couldn't decide either way #the one on the bottom left is oot impa since she's implied to be the village founder. so i guess she would be a ghost actually? #fan art #my art #project stuff #and ahhh the book-- everyone's stuff is so beautiful!! #especially the writing. some of the fics made me really tear up and some were so fun and clever. i really love them #a lot of them captured the sheer burden of the role of the sheikah; all of the time and grief and doubt #i know i always say this stuff about every project but. the people i get to work with in these are truly so skilled every time

I just like that wether we ship or not Kazuki and Rei romantically or not, there's no doubt that there's love between them. And I love the way the show don't shy away from it.

That Kazuki get to look at Rei and Miri asleep with tenderness, that Rei think about Kazuki and Rei as people he want to protect, that Kazuki said that at the time he was cleaning the apartment he couldn't stand to see Rei live like that, and that even to this day Rei is thankful to this with the way he say "I didn't care about you but then you started to clean".

Even in the opening it talk about love. In the ending too.

Love lived in earnest is such an important part of the story and them being two grown ass men don't make the writers shy away to show it sincerely.

#buddy daddies #sorry but i am so emotional right now #i also love how everyone get to define their relationship for themselves #it's love and partnership and you're free to see it both as romantic and platonic #i can't even chose a favorite interpretation because either way they're family and it's so precious to me

[dungeons-and-dragon-age]

You ever think about Hawke and their relationship with their name

#lay rambles #it can be a title or a nickname it can be personal it can be made up by varric to protect their identity it can be all of these things #either shifting or at the same time #not to mention the relation to malcom it might have. was that his real last name or was that a name made up after fleeing? #either way if its related to him there is something to say about them choosing/being assigned that name over the amell name #despite that being the one with official status in the city #i could go on about it tbh i love the leeway we get to play around w it #in fact do feel free to tell me abt your hawkes if you read this i am very curious abt your interpretations of it! #(also dragons if u read this: 'tis the one! xd)

So like with ganqing

Who fell first and who fell harder?

Hmm, not sure if i have a truly definite answer. It could go either ways - Keqing realizes her feelings first because she's analytical, she quickly notices all the changes in herself in regards to Ganyu. And Ganyu is more of the quiet type, who also doesn't think abt doing things for herself. Being like 3000+ could also mean she's fine with living alone, she doesn't necessarily need romance. Maybe even neither of them need it. But eventually she realizes that maybe she can take a chance at some new happiness, at sharing a life with someone. So once it hits her how much she cares about Keqing, it kinda just hits very strongly all at once. It becomes a strong want that she's finally willing to follow, despite her withdrawn nature. - Ganyu realizes her feelings first because her experiences with Keqing taught her to be bolder, to live more for herself and pursue her own wants and happiness. On the other hand, Keqing is focused on her dream of building the new era of Liyue, she's straightforward but cares about boundaries, so maybe she's not aware just yet of what she's actually feeling for Ganyu, who's fully supporting Keqing in that goal. And once she realizes those feelings, it hits her all at once like "oh. i'm in love with her. of course!", and she basically immediately wants to act upon it, because that's just how she is.

#ganqing #ask #keqing #ganyu #perhaps keqing first ganyu harder is more likely considering their personalities and i might like it a little more? #but the other option seems interesting too. as long as keqing isn't treated as a dense idiot for no reason bc that's not the point. #and i'm sure there's other possible slightly different interpretations of this that i could end up rlly liking hhhh #i may be just not as big brainded for this #and this doesn't even touch on who actually confesses first after all that. which could go either ways too! many possibilities lol #ty for asking anon :) #btw feel free to send me more asks abt ganqing

I'm gonna write about my hcs for Homura as a system bc she has a Lot going on from that angle. I was going to wait until I finished a chart I had been drawing and sorted out each part's 'role' to my satisfaction, but I Really want to share it it's my favorite puella magi hc.

Ok so Akemi Homura. Firstly she has been through a LOT of trauma and bullshit so it's not even remotely a stretch to consider (esp given she has a history of frequent medical issues even before the main story).

Secondly she has some dissociative instances that happen as pretty plot-relevant things - the entire plot of Rebellion, for one. And, depending on how 'canon' you view it, Wraith Arc is another example of dissociative coding wrt memory issues/barriers, and carries a lot of plural coding on its own. Not to mention her incredibly detached approach in everything is a form of dissociation, as a response to being in an ongoing traumatic situation (being a magical girl and constantly having her friends taken from her or turning on her)

And honestly I'm just citing base examples off the top of my head and could most likely go into more in depth analysis for any of these points.

So she gives me strong system vibes. But furthermore, she'd be a rare case in media of a character with Multiple alters beyond just the 'good vs evil' trope, had this been done intentionally. And so I've picked out multiple alters that would compose her system, between the anime storylines and Wraith Arc, so I'm gonna list those out. As I said I haven't sorted out everyone's function/origin Thoroughly but I have pretty clear ideas for each.

Glasses Homura or 'Moemura' - the closest to the undissociated Homura, chronologically speaking and potentially in terms of function/personality. Might just have been the host for her daily life prior to her contract. Represented of course by wearing glasses, but her hair being braided (as seen in Rebellion) is another shorthand indication of her presence in the scene.

Akemi Homura, as we see her in the main series - most likely the second oldest alter seen by us. Formed directly to function as the main face of the system, as well as the system protector most likely. she's a sort of shield for the system by detaching all of her trauma and past timeline experiences from the present moment, acting as coldly and shut off as possible to further their collective goal (saving Madoka) and prevent emotional overwhelm. This also doubles to protect her more vulnerable alters and emotions, because as seen in flashbacks of earlier loops letting those show more often backfires than helps.

Wraith Madoka [Wraith Arc] - an introject alter modeled after Madoka. Unfortunately I haven't reread much of her part and my notes on her are elsewhere but I think she exists as a sort of... maybe soother for the system in a way, helping Madoka feel real in a reality where she is not.

Rapunzel Witch/Wraith Witch [Wraith Arc] - I'd probably classify this witch as a persecutor or other aggressive alter. She is born from the old memories and trauma, which is rejected by Homura in this story via memory manipulation (dissociation). This is done because this witch threatens Everything Homura has fought for and is initially represented in the story as Madoka's witch self, Kriemhild Gretchen, which further pushes that divide. The Rapunzel Witch is then fused with a Wraith and grows out of control, fueled by the power of Another antagonist to Madoka's world order (according to Homura's pov). The Wraith Witch then begins killing everything instantly, including Mami and Kyouko, and sets about destroying what Homura holds dear and/or has sworn to protect and keep safe.

Ai [Wraith Arc] - not entirely sure if I should count her separately from Wraith Madoka or not? Narratively she's essentially The Same Individual but everything about her is different functionally, so it might be a subystem deal or a case where Wraith!Mado split off of her. Ai was born narratively to manage Homura's memories, a representation of the 'miracle' that lets Homura retain her memories of the old reality. But she functions independently of Homura at points, as 'a part of Homura's soul that was eaten by a wraith'. She is the essence behind the creation of Wraith!Madoka as well as the individual behind its independent movements, all unbeknownst to Homura herself during this storyline.

Clara dolls [Rebellion] - these are already pretty clearly defined for us by the text, I think primarily as emotional holders and/or maybe fragments. I'm likewise unsure if I'd count Wraith Arc's Ai as part of their number, she has the same name as the unseen doll Ai but her function is somewhat different in practice. This might be chalked up to her being more consistently active than the others though, given how much "Ai (love)" drives Homura forward

Homulilly (black dress) [Rebellion] - I think I'd break her into two alters, given we have the black dress homura and then the fully-formed witch. In terms of black dress.... She's hard to gauge since I think her behavior blurs a lot with Homura's? But her motivation is different. She might also be a protector, but designed specifically for her Witch counterpart.

Homulilly (witch) [Rebellion] - This witch is most likely a trauma holder, which I think is pretty self-explanatory given what we see of her on-screen. I would probably count any portrayals of Homura during her scenes as Also her, especially the scene with Madoka's arm reaching through the window to her.

Homucifer [Rebellion] - whoo boy ok. Not sure what I'd classify her as. With her whole spiel and self-assignment of "The Devil of this world" she leans into persecutor territory in a way? But, her true motivation has nothing to do with painting herself as evil or punishing herself. Nor is her true motivation being Selfish and taking what she wants without thought. Her true focus is that Madoka becoming a God, separated from her friends and family, was Wrong, and so Homucifer exists to forcibly reunite Madoka with the life she gave up, no matter the cost. Selfishness is a factor, as is self-deprecation, but really her aim isn't anything straightforward beyond furthering the collective system's united goal of Saving Madoka, so idk what her Function is beyond filling that niche in a way the others can't.

So that's what I've got on her! Hopefully it all makes sense, if anyone has anything to add feel free!

“In fact, Etho completely forgets he isn’t alone until he feels the sun rest his head on his shoulder. He’s warm, almost to the point of discomfort but not quite.

“I’m sorry,” the sun whispers, and Etho frowns in confusion, “for thinking you were a monster.”

Etho sighs and decides to let himself be a little vulnerable, if only as a thank-you to the sun. “I’m sorry for thinking you were perfect,”’

Just read Daylight Moon Sings To You by songbirdscoo on Ao3 and I am losing my mind over it!! I had to draw a scene from it! Please go give it a read as I plan to draw more of it

I know the red valley creators litteraly added 'owner of a lonely heart' by yes to THEIR OWN GORDON PLAYLIST but I'm still amazed everytime I listen to it on just how well it fits him. like

"shake, shake yourself // you're every move you make // so the story goes!

owner of a lonely heart // (its much better than a) owner of a broken heart"

#the 'your every move u make' line reminds me of that good/bad hats little monologue he has. #“now i dont know who wears the bad hats and who wears the good hats. i dont even know which hat i wear. i dont even own a hat” #<- can also be applied to all the free will mentions in the song #i think the owner of a lonely heart and owner of a broken heart can be interpretated in two ways: #either a) gordon is both 'owners' and its a matter of his very secretive and probably sad past vs the present #OR b) gordon is the owner of the lonely heart and warren is the owner of the broken heart #either ways its so good. one of my favs on that playlist it slaps so hard #red valley #gordon porlock

So this thought has been in my head for quite some time but... I can't help but think about an angst filled, heartwarming tale between Morganthe and Malorn if Morganthe was still a teenager and a student struggling in Ravenwood

#can you imagine their dynamic #how much malorn could and WOULD have helped her #he definitely would have reached out to her once he realized she was struggling #AND THIS IS NOT IN A ROMANTIC CONTEXT FOR ME but youre free to interpret them as such if you want to #but i feel like they would have such a deep mentor/student friendship lersonally #teenage morganthe really could have benefited from someone her own age to relate to and lean on for support #not me saying 'friendship is magic' when her brother died and she was like invovled in a coup 😭💀 but sometimes just a positive influence #can go a long way #and since all the adults and older figures in morganthe's early life has been either irresponsible at best #or downright kooky at worst #she really needed like a calm and mature and wise anchor in her life #(gestures towars Malorn) like this guy #wizard101 #w101 #malorn ashthorn #morganthe

Do you think sega knew what they were doing with SA2? Did they mean to imply that Sonic had become as important to Shadow as Maria was (though obviously in a distinctly different way)? Did they know what they were doing with “Supporting Me”?

#sonic #sa2 #shadow #sonic the hedgehog #shadow the hedgehog #feel free to interpret this as either platonic or romantic lol #I actually like both interpretations #but either way they are so much more than just rivals
