Let me be honest. I can look at this forever. I can look at them look at one another forever. I have never seen a more beautiful opening than this one.

#heaven official's blessing #season 1 #tgcf #xie lian #hua cheng #hualian #opening #beautiful art #goregous #memorizing #their gazes #it's so soft #there is so much love #I can feel the emotions through the screen #the way the light appears on xie lian's face #and grows darker over hua cheng's #symbolism? #what are they implying?

Wine of the mother. Death of the innocent. (I think about her so much. Also close ups under cut)

#Could talk about her for days #I love drawing blood so much #Is it a mirror? Is she killing her own innocence. Starting the season were she becomes a killer with blood on her hands #Does it represent buffy? The one she’s trying to bring back and hurting through it #does it represent Tara? The mother(figure) who ends up dying cause of it (see buffys ressurection caused Tara’s Death post) #Is it Dawn ? The innocent one just like willow was who she hurts so much throughout the season #Who knows(all of the above) #Anyways I actually love this drawing a lot #First I was gonna draw them with closed eyes but they look more empty with them open #I used the Oberon brush in procreate #willow rosenberg #i love symbolism so much #btvs #buffy the vampire slayer #btvs fanart #buffy art #pzyii arts #buffy fanart #buffy fandom #cw blood #blood cw #btvs season 6 #btvs s6 #dead animal

This image pretty much encapsulates everything I love about Huntlow.

Hunter and Willow are both damaged and troubled people, it's clear. But they don't rely on anyone too much, they're both independant people at heart. They don't want to burden anyone with their problems, or act like something's wrong. They want to present themselves in a way that makes them appear strong and confident (with Hunter and his GG arc and Willow with pretty much her whole arc) that ends up harming their mental wellbeing as a result, as they don't want their true insecurities and weaknesses to be brought to the light. However, when they meet in the middle, they finally meet someone who gets it. And they help each other. Comfort each other. Lift each other up. Lean on each other. They are not co-dependant, but they are prominent driving factors in each other's arcs.

This is why this image is so important to Huntlow. You can see their scars and bruises from the battles they have fought, and came out of them alive. And no, they don't fully hold hands, they don't fully depend on each other. But they hold pinkies, as a steady reminder that they are there for each other, that they get each other, that they love each other. It's a comforting "i'm here" finger hold. Before, they would not have reached out to anyone like that, they would have dealt with their own scars and bruises and problems. But with the influence of the other, they managed to finally reach out.

Lumity is definately the best ship in TOH, but Huntlow is my personal favorite for those reasons.

I don't consider this a prediction or anything, it's just my own way of coping with the S2 finale lol (think of it as an AU of sorts 🤔)

ill make a longer post at another point but I think the character design in good omens is just so good. the main thing that is stuck in my mind is how simplistic the archangel's outfits are. at most they have like, something over their shirt. but then aziraphale is out here with his gay ass twenty-something layers, which is closer to the layering of hell. of course he is also always somewhat behind the times or standing out, like the outfits that demons wear (which can be seen with shax's battle outfit- or that's what comes to mind). crowley's eyes mirroring the gold that all of the archangel's wear. the way that crowley and aziraphale both manage to both be slightly too overdressed for everything. the clean-ness (? not simplicity but close) of all of crowley's outfits that mimics the simplicity of the archangels, or at least is very different from the chaos of every other demon's outfit. anyways. they make me sick.

ALRIGHT I HAVE FINISHED FRESHMAN YEAR OF FANTASY HIGH. What the hell. That was awesome I was grinning all the way through that. PLEASE tell me they dried the dragon meat or something there is no way two goblins could have gone through ALL of that before it rotted. Please tell me they cooked it that much raw meat can’t be good for anybody. I’m gonna start season two now. These kids drive me fucking insane

#kiri rambles #new hyperfixation has come on STRONG in the last week holy moly!!! #fantasy high #dimension 20 #dimension 20 fantasy high #Riz killing the dragon was actually so amazing like holy shut #the SHADOW??? PROJECTING HUGE ON THE GYM??? #and immediately losing it after telling Fabian to grab that kids eye??? #they make me crazy they genuinely make me lose my mind I love this series so much #I saw a comment say that Riz’s bad rolls throughout the fight were symbolic to how he and his family get the short end of the stick due to- #-being goblins and how him STILL getting the killing blow on the dragon shows that he will get back up and shit like his dad said. it’s just #AARGH it’s so good. holy fuck #parts I got close to crying: the secret room and recording from Riz’s dad and Fabian’s dad’s death #<- I guess dad shit gets to me??? I have a great relationship with my dad so I guess it’s random but like. seriously #the whole thing was so good I can’t wait to go watch the second season now

I was writing abt this in the tags of a post from @neil-gaiman but I’m having too many thoughts I need to put them in a post because mister Gaiman sir this is absolutely brilliant and I love it.

Aziraphale is reading a tale of two cities!! and my immediate thought was “ok what does this mean” because I love the little Easter eggs and symbolism artists put in. first thought was of course two cities = heaven and hell which is just objectively fucking hilarious thank you Mr Gaiman. It was the best of times it was the worst of times it was the end times?????

I’m not the most familiar with the novel but I know it deals in part with the French Revolution/the bastille which is also very funny re: the episode 3 cold open. Again not super familiar though so anyone is welcome to shed more light on this and if there’s more there than my sensible chuckle (as I’m sure there is)

BUT I looked up the entire first paragraph/sentence to see the rest of it and oh my god.

“…it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness…”

“…we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way…”

“…in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.”

Charles Dickens does Good Omens. I’m losing my mind this is so hilariously spot on to the themes of Good Omens, of COURSE the poster features Aziraphale reading it. I LOVE this. He even seems to be near the very beginning, with a page near the very beginning marked???

I love tiny little details like this that are so easily missed but clearly had so much thought put into them by the creator. Kudos to Neil Gaiman and anyone involved with creating the poster who added this lovely little detail. I’m sure I’m not the first to catch onto this but just noticed it and it made me incredibly happy!!!! Of course I’ll have to go back and scour the rest of the poster later for more I can’t wait- already seeing Catch-22 on the bookshelf too oh my GOD I can’t even dive into picking apart all that means right now. Treasure island and pride and prejudice- oh my GOD pride and prejudice!!! If that isn’t Aziraphale and Crowley to a T!!!!! (not familiar w treasure island someone please feel free to take that and run with it.) Also why is there a camera what’s that saying hm. And are all 3 hands (hour minute second) on the clock pointing to 6 because that’s fucking HILARIOUS

@neil-gaiman if you happen upon this post just know you and any other artists involved made my symbolism-loving heart very happy with this poster!! brb gotta go ponder all of the Aziraphale/Crowley-Elizabeth Bennet/Mr. Darcy parallels

#good omens #LOVE me a good cultural reference that reveals deeper symbolism about the material referencing it #hm I gotta go rewatch season 1 and pay attention to the leitmotifs. see what we find there #mr Gaiman if you see this thank you so very much for all you do to make people happy with your art and your time!!!

#babylon 5 #b5 #for once it's not an incorrect quote #I don’t need to know your astrological sign #I need to know which B5 intro is your favorite #Sinclair’s is probably the most memorable #but I just LOVE Ivanova’s way too much #especially after Sheridan’s /because/ it reflects the “elder brother and younger sister” dynamic so well #and of course the symbolism of season 4’s intro is *chef’s kiss* #season five’s approach is a bit more understated #because there’s no actual monologue/dialogue

so *knuckles cracking* dexter

#ss1: great intro to the series. 8/10 #ss2: good follow up from ss1. loved the chase. also lila. wow. probably my favorite. 9/10 #ss3: first half of the season was cringe. motive was predictable. mid. 6/10 #ss4: trinity was overhyped? or outdated. meh. better than ss3. 7/10 #ss5: vigilante plotline. felt the thrillin' part again ever since ss1. last episode was rushed for the exit part. 7/10 #ss6: blood & gore & tons of catholic symbolism. the most eyes popped moments i've had watching dexter. great up until the last 3 eps. 8/10 #ss7: wtf... 5. debra my girl sufferred so much *sobs* #ss8: aint watching that. #i'd give dexter an 8 if i watched this when it aired. but i didn't so 7. the show IS old. but good overall. #dippi.txt

#alright might delete this later because I avoid discourse for the most part #so #while I feel a lot of things this season would have worked better with some more breathing room #I’m happy with all the story beats they chose to play this season #i saw a take that was basically ‘Izzy mirrored Ed’s relationship to the toxic masculinity of the pirating world’ #’he was tormented by it in the first season and then in the second it softened and died’ #and I think that works pretty well symbolically #a lot of people are trying to analyze the show as if these are real people being put through real things #when at they end of the day they are characters representing symbols and ideas and pieces of real people #basically I’ve seen a few people saying that Izzy’s death negates the theme of this show being queer love and joy #and that really annoyed me because I don’t think it’s true #and I think in a show with so many queer characters you can give them room to explore one dying #I feel like if we’d had more time it could have been more nuanced and we could have seen more of the characters reactions #but we had 4hrs total of television this season #and they had so much story they wanted to tell #and I feel like they also wanted to make sure things were resolved in case they didn’t get renewed #and that means they had to put in the beats they felt were most important #without a lot of room to breathe between those beats #so in conclusion i liked this season #i really wish we had more of it #but I appreciate what we have #and I hope we get a s3

#stranger things #stranger things fanart #30daystost4 #will byers #mike wheeler #will's crayon box #it's funny i don't even ship byler that strongly?? #but at the same time i love the idea of it #and to be honest most folks who avidly ship byler have such a good understanding of the show and its characters and its symbolism #so any ideas of what they want to be canon i tend to agree with #there's a lot of overlap between bylers and people whose favorite character is will #so generally speaking the ideas bylers put out (including the potential of byler being canon) are in will's best interest #and therefore in my best interest as well #you could say that i'm a byler enjoyer as opposed to a byler shipper. but the label isn't that important #to be honest i'm a fan of mileven too as long as it's written well. it can be incredibly sweet at times #but the same goes for any ship really #i just enjoy byler not only for the queer representation but also for how much they love each other #if the characters already love each other platonically then the ship is a million times better. in my humble opinion #that is why st2 is my favorite season by far. it just warms my heart to see mike and will loving each other #as friends or otherwise #thank you for coming to my ted talk. please enjoy my gay stranger things fanart :)

every time fabian takes off his eyepatch something inside me dies a little. because then i’m forced to remember that at the end of freshman year, this beautiful boy, this child, got his face slashed open and his eye gouged out when he was sixteen years old, in his own home, and he didn’t stop, didn’t hesitate, didn’t mull over that fact for a moment before charging into another battle, because his friends needed him.

#and that's without even dwelling on the fact that using his father's eyepatch was a symbol of him feeling 'worthy' of bill's legacy #despite it also being something he. y'know. needs. #i cannot believe i didn't care for fabian much at first #this boy is my everything and i love him SO much #fabien seacaster #fabian seacaster. #fantasy high #fh. #fh:sy. #the image of fabian showing up to the final battle in season one just COVERED in blood #fucks up something deep in my soul

[micer2012]

It all fits together so well! The Nothing cliffhanger at the end of Ren's s8, the similar looking material growing in his pumpkin shop just before Bdubs snatched him for the coronation, and now that stuff appears to be all over his diamonds from what we see of it in Scar's episode, and his eyes are as green as his crown and the Royal Emeralds he tried to use as a currency to replace diamonds and also get himself more diamonds... (not as much of a Thing as Derpcoin was but still)

Also, the coronation took place under the Tree of Whimsy, which Bdubs earlier established as having grown from a seed he planted after finding it hidden deep underground with a legend that said it must never see sunlight again... So evil plants are possibly involved maybe.

Like, even if they don't ever say it and just have some vague thing about Ren's greed, it fits so well with Jeff, especially if it really does turn out to be a new form of the Nothing virus!

MY GOODNESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSVDI9B

MY GOODNESS. THAT IS SO. THAT IS VERY.

emeralds are a very jeff thing too, and.. jeff controlling bdubs thing particularly. in CE and EF jeffs text or eyes are emeralds a lot, and in the behind the scenes of CE1 video where Pooka explains that every block has a meaning, he said emeralds specifically represent that unnatural greed and persuasion, "too perfect" (8:42-11:24)

(10:14) "When it came to the persuasion of BdoubleO (jeff taking his form) I did choose to use emerald blocks, because it needed to have a persuasion feel to it. It was still fabricated, but it was just a little bit more... 'hey, you definitely want to join us...' type feel to it."

#JUST USED THIS ASK AS AN EXCUSE TO TALK ABOUT THE CARNEVIL BLOCK SYMBOLISM98DBY I LOVE THE CE BLOCK N COLOR SYMBOLISM. i should make a post #just about it one day i think of it so much. obsidian (like.. the dreamer the obsidian ghost) representing Ur Own Thoughts.W #BUT. ... MY GOD.T49I IS T. IS THIS INTENTION. REN SPEAK TO M #HC #EXIAVOJTMMC #SEASON 9 #HERMITCRAFT

Okay, so is anyone gonna talk about how in THAT scene of Stranger Things with Max/Running Up That Hill, Max was desperately trying to escape from A Broken Home that was essentially chasing her and trying to destroy her while she tried her very best to get back to her friends and to herself??? With the personification of Death and Loss trying its best to keep her trapped there in the darkness and ultimately kill her?? Because the symbolism this adds to THAT scene needs to be talked about.

#like there was So Much Symbolism in that scene #but like… once I realized that A Broken Home was chasing Max and literally trying to KILL HER #yeah #game changer for me #i cry every time now #especially when I see her DESPERATION to escape all of it and get back to herself and her friends #who btw REFUSED to leave her side #even when as Lucas says ‘they thought they lost her’ #to which she poignantly resonds ‘I’m still here. I’m still here…’ #forget about it #chills #i love this fucking show so much #stranger things #stranger things spoilers #stranger things s4 spoilers #stranger things s4 vol1 #stranger things s4 #stranger things season 4 #max #max mayfield #dustin henderson #lucas sinclair #steve harrington #stranger things max #stranger things dustin #steve stranger things #dear billy #max stranger things #running up that hill
