i feel like i’ve seen hawks as the sun and dabi as the moon a lot, and don’t get me wrong i absolutely love it, but what about the reverse?

dabi, the sun. being so bright and fierce, a force of nature. a violent warmth that you can’t help but want to look at and draw close to, but burns everything that gets near it.

hawks, the moon. he can’t help but want dabi’s warmth, his light, no matter how much it hurts. wants to keep getting closer even though he knows the only way this will end is with him and his wings burned by the suns heat

#also.. dabi as the sun while hawks is icarus- #dabi #hawks #dabihawks #dbhks #takami keigo #todoroki touya #mha #bnha #sun and moon motif #cal speaks

why does CJ have sm beef with the sun & moon tho like what is his deal

#the amount of songs where he had problems with the sun or the moon or like something relating to them #there's the icarus vs the sun thing sometimes #bro made whole ass characters fight that have sun & moon motifs #& then there's his Fly Me to the Moon cover #whys he so mad at these spheres #like he has a whole stanza for earth in not perfect #but nah fuc the sun an ESPECIALLY the moon #mans got sunburnt too many times #idk what tf the moon did #tho I am curious as to why he said “el luna” in FMttM when luna/the moon is feminine #at least im like 95% sure it is but i don't remember much spanish #screw HMS lore i need my FMttM lore #chonny jash #moss post

Bonus, to me:

#not the icarus callum #rising and falling (callum in the tdp s6 trailer) #(I'm fine in case you were wondering) #(lying) #I'm honestly totally normal thinking about tdp's falling motif. #especially when also thinking about characters falling to their knees #you're either falling or fallen and isn't that just a fact of life #tdp #the dragon prince #tdp parallels #tdp s4 #tdp s5

icarus motif with solaris really does something to me

#good morning happy solaris saturday etc #i don't know if i'm ever going to finish my solary in the hospital fic #mainly because i don't really know what to put in it that would make it any different to mothbeasts' solary in the hospital fic #aside from a further overdose of grief. which i feel like has become my niche once again #but anyways all this to say. in that fic. or one of them. bc i scrapped a lot of them #the icarus motif was supposed to play a pretty big part... bc of how much i liked it... in relation to solaris #was it worth it sweetheart? did you have your fun?

You're bright and it's blinding Just a small spark, and you're flying With your wax wings in a back room Got my arms out, tryna catch you As you're fallin' through the ceiling Took a big leap, now you're bleedin' With a broke nose and a dumb smile Pretty mugshot for your profile Caught in a streetlight A lost cause in Levi's But I'll always see great heights in you I'll be the last one I'll be the last one in your corner when the count's done I'll be the last one Holdin' my hands up (hey) Stood on the bleachers all alone after the crowd's gone I'll be the last one

Love you Rayla POV song

#like she loves callum. So Much #rayllum #pining!rayla #music #music: other #an amv someday #like u can't give me an icarus motif and expect me not to go for it #magic/rayla being the sun to callum's icarus #whereas just callum is her sun tbh #reckless vs careful driver #Youtube

#its about love its about hope its about tragedy its about inevitability its about knowing the end and flying anyways #hozier #icarus #one of my favorite recurring motifs

[apollos-boyfriend]

sometimes i’ll look back on my favorite character from a series and realize ah. it’s the bitch with wings. for the 10th time in a row

#icarus speaks #it’s a pattern </3 #either they have Actual wings or wings symbolism/motif

[taniushka12]

hello! if u dont mind me asking, whats the fic you referenced in the tags of this post? (remove spaces obv) https :// www.tumblr.com/ taniushka12/ 727944354808905728? source=share thank u :D

i dont mind, thank YOU for asking!!! thats a fic ive been working on for some time now, that i like name dropping here and there to keep myself hyped lmfao

to keep it short, Ícaro, Prometeo (also known as the "hannibalesque fic") is basically what if a villain found a way so that everytime he died he'd immediately wake up in another person's body, but he has to be killed by the same person every time, so he asks one of the good guys that hates him to do it.

in paper their agreement serves them both bc one can not only cheat death but conquer it once and for all, and the other can actually put the hate and anger he feels (both bc of Him but also unrelated childhood trauma) somewhere else, but things get... more complicated than that.

There are only four deaths sprinkled through 20~ years, and each gets progressively more wrapped in layers of control, hubris, mind games, the fact that they're both quite literally cursed which takes a significant toll on the later's mind, latent sexual attraction and the (one sided) guilt that comes with it in the context of the entire situation, etc. The third death as previously mentioned is when shit hits the fan and the guy throws up after killing his beloathed and realizing that he's getting really affected by this whole thing ,,,

anyway its affectionately called that because they have a lot (A Lot) of dialogues (many of which are the first guy trying to get him to admit one thing or another), homoerotic psychosexual obsession, men covered in blood, and by the very end even cannibalism, which as far as I know are all stuff that happens in hannibal u_u

#ill admit i never got past ep 1 ofthe show so all my knowledge is via 'tell me will...' memes and stuff though dfgdfkgh #tani's personal shit #i tried really hard to keep it short but yeah. @ anon if you're out there!! here's your answer u_u ♥ #theres also lots of animal imagery which i Think is a repeated motif in hannibal? except here is birds. #icarus' melting wings and the eagles that eat at prometheus 's liver over and over again. you get it

was the peach being a metaphor in 1x06 foreshadowing...

You're damn right it was.

I've talked about it before in this post, but it's clear to me that MK only wanted the peach of immortality in 1x06 to become more like Wukong—or rather, to become more powerful/immortal like Wukong ("I just wanted to be good enough...like you" from 1x09 anyone? Tbh most s1 episodes are centered around MK wanting to be good/strong enough soooooo). The peach is a source of power/immortality, something both MK and Wukong have reached for at the expense of others:

Macaque: "No that's YOU! You're the one always running off! Looking for more power, more sources of immortality—you're the one who wouldn't quit while were were ahead!"

But, at the same time....the peach is a symbol of Wukong and Macaque's friendship:

The same way it was in 1x06 for Mei and MK:

The only reason either of them ever wanted power was to be strong enough for the people they cared about after all. The peach was a metaphor, and they "really wanted that peach"—it was a metaphor for really wanting friendship, and also really wanting power. Wanting their cake and eating it too.

I appreciated that the second time Wukong gives Macaque a peach, it's a "downgrade"—just a regular popsicle, versus a peach of immortality. Like being together is finally enough for Wukong, and it'll be enough to pull them through. (Which is something Macaque thought from the beginning: "Together there was nothing that could stop the two of them, either in the celestial realms or on earth" [2x07]).

Bonus detail:

MK in 2x07 attempted to bring his friends bags of peach chips. So. Whatever.

#thinking about s2 MK paralleling pre-jttw wukong again #It's so 1-1 it hurts #asks #lmk #lego monkie kid #lmk MK #lmk SWK #lmk Macaque #hero and warrior motif #this show is so fucking stupid. it's so good #I clearly have NOT talked about shadow play enough #Like I'm about to explode rewatching 2x07 clips #''And how those who bring light into this world inevitably bring darkness to those they hold dear'' #''Like light heroes bring warmth hope and friendship. But they also give life to the darkness'' #Literally throwing up hello #''Don't you see you're hurting the people who care about you the most'' #''I can't risk hurting the people I care about—the ones I have left'' #like okay #okay #Macaque Icarus so real #it's just the number of times MK and Wukong are associated with light. And how sometimes that is not a good thing #Like they just want to kill me idk #And even with Azure. With camel ridge/becoming the Jade Emperor (a power that looks very sun like). Bringing light to the world #But also bringing darkness to those he holds dear (the scroll + almost destroying the world) #Don't look at me do not touch me

writing stuff set in present day is so dangerous because there's nothing that's happened in this world that hasn't also happened in the characters' and therefore none of my obsessions i can't make my main character (whos three quarters me on his mothers side) be annoying about. so re reading my writing is just like why is he talking about ziggy stardust why is he talking about donna tartt why is he talking about the odyssey why does he know the nine ranks of biblical angels

#that man. has nO BUSINESS knowing that the european powdered white hair and wigs look didnt exist until exaclty the 1740s #ive limited myself to three pop culture references bc i hate when books reference stuff like that a lot #BUT i can talk about david bowie as much as i want #thus the whole scene where laszlo spends like a million years waxing poetic about the fucking. themes of the rise and fall of ziggy stardus #t and the spiders from mars. like why does he know intimate details of david bowie's life #writing #oc tag #also ive said it before that i make sure all my characters have a canon opinion on donna tartt even if i dont include it in the story. so #ill excuse that #greek mythology i think is okayyyy just because of the metaphors and the themes and the motifs #because hes so into icarus and everything #but girl. stop talking about bellerophon and menelaus and eurydice and the fates and leave ur fucking analyses of homer's work out of this #it's very in character for him to be annoying about that stuff though...because he is me... #just like. shut up. #stop knowing the same niche information as me. im gatekeeping it from the guy i invented

i do really want to make agoraphobia a thing. i think there's so much cool stuff i could do with the house!! i want it to be in conversation w house of leaves and haunting of hill house and we have always lived in the castle and anatomy. even though its not horror? i just feel like its... perfect for talking about houses and their significance

#actually genuinely thinking about making our house by madness like a recurring motif #and then in the final boss fight getting a really fun synthpop remix/cover and it just feeling like. TRIUMPHANT #like thea's reclaiming the house #like she's making it into a space she can be with her friends #where she can grow #instead of making it into her own cage #OUR house. OURS. for her and ariadne and icarus and maybe even mina #agoraphobia
