#mirror key

[mothocean]

The titles for the magnus protocol episodes that have come out so far seem... deliberate. First we have 'first shift', which could be seen to use 'shift' in the meaning of 'work hours'; it's Sam's first day at the OIAR. But it could also mean 'shift' as in movement or change; the first signs that the fears are shaping this world, 'shifting' it from how it is supposed to be. Then the two next titles, 'making adjustments' and 'putting down roots', are both describing actions. Hinting that the fears are already establishing themselves within the new world and beginning to reshape it.

#also first shift is neat because. shift key on computer keyboards #itd be interesting if the series ends with a title like 'losing control' (ctrl) or 'alternative measures' (alt) to mirror it #but thats speculation for later #tmagp #tmagp spoilers #the magnus protocol #roseflower.txt

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #a-qing #xue yang #xiao xingchen #Xue yang is cold because cold blooded creatures can't generate their own body heat #I am skipping over drawing the stories they tell due to the fact this arc is already really dragging #but I think they are very key in understanding the yi-city characters #Even if they are stories that really bring down the slumber party vibes A-Qing was hoping for. #I mentioned some of my thoughts in the tags of no. 76 but to continue on a bit more #I think xxc and xue yangs stories inversely mirror each other on the meaning of sacrifice and what it means to 'deserve' something #to xue yang he has only ever sacrificed - therefore he is in his right to 'deserve' what he wants. And he wants everything. #xxc leaves song lan thinking its the best course of action to atone but my god. No it wasn't. Poor communication crown actually goes to xxc #but it's what xxc he feels he deserves - continued sacrifice to atone. He wants to want nothing. #both are very stuck in the past in ways that are not actually accounting for their actions #It's easy to look at xue yang and go 'dang you need to get over your childhood trauma' #but that very much ignores that fact that we - real human beings - define so much by our childhood pains. #Growth is having to come to terms with it and trying to move past it...and not everyone is ready for that. #I have a lot of thoughts on that matter but I'll let it be for now. #Anyways. Amiguito appears to be one of those words whos meaning change depending on speaker and contextual factors #So as far as I can tell it slides around on the scale on romantic and platonic. Which works for this dynamic. I think. #Native Spanish speakers I am so sorry.

I wonder if Archivists can compel themselves.

Because, we've seen that Archivist powers can make people remember more clearly, and say truths they wished to hide... And sometimes you lie to yourself without wanting to. Sometimes you don't know what you know. So could an Archivist stare into the mirror and ask themself what they truly want? Could they compel themself, jaws clenched, What did I come into this room for?

#tma #tma meme #the archivist #i'm sorry but if i was an archivist this would be 90% of my power usage #mirror mirror where did i put my keys? #mirror mirror why did i write just a name on my calendar? #mirror mirror what day of the week is this? #mirror mirror what do I want to eat for dinner? #adhd + beholding could be cool actually #the magnus archives

so just to be clear

Rex Igenous had the map / technical location

Akiyu helped make the prison

Domina Profundis knew what it was as well

Avizandum and Zubeia had the looking glass to help check up on him

The Orphan Queen discovered Aaravos’ treachery

The Jailer helped put the puzzle all together

and quite literally the only piece of the puzzle we don’t know is how to release Aaravos from the prison

unless, of course, We Do

#the key of aaravos #s6 #like it's either the literal key to his prison or something that restores him to full power and lets him out #game motif #arc 2 #CHECKMATE!! #if there is longing on the mirror of my heart #& as always #cube hostage exchange theory #s5 spoilers #oh yeah it's all coming together #like i sure am fucking Back on my bullshit #tdp #the dragon prince #tdp spoilers #Just in case

'nother comic for the AU, but this ones not funny- more just 'miserable with small less miserable moments' :D

#uncle raditz #saiyan squad gohan #i hate shading #hate it so much #ok im back to tag rant :D #pretty sure its all stuff iv said before #but i like the idea of raditz still bein a bad person #like theyre all bad people #but hes atleast tryin to be a decent uncle #the bar is on the ground but like hes atleast gonna make sure kiddo is fed #obv i didnt include it but since nappas the only 1 w any experience dealin w kids #i kinda got it in my head that raditz is low key mirroring the way nappa was w him as a kiddo #like callin him raditz the runt #now gohans the runt :U #i mean nappas priority was def vegeta #but like.. nappa mentioned using the dragon balls to revive raditz #and.. ignoring any possible implications.. suggested spawning some new saiyans on earth #since gohan was apparently so strong #point is i think he cares more about the actual survival of saiyans as a people #and that includes keepin kids alive #vegeta on the other hand seems to just like the concept of saiyans as people he was destined to rule over #but hes accepted that theyre all gone and doesnt wanna like engage w any hope of revival #so he just kills em or lets em stay dead cause it was inevitable anyways :U #point is. nappas cool. dragon ball legends said so #saiyan saga vegeta tho.. he needs therapy. hes an ass and i dont like him >:U

oh you did not

NEIL YOU DID NOT

#I’m just spitballing when I say this but #I’m gonna chalk this up to this being the scene when they’re found outside the Boston quarantine zone #but the key difference here is that it’s more deliberately framed to mirror the scene where the armed soldier confronted Joel and Sarah #it all the more illustrates the paralleled relevance between both Ellie and Sarah #and how Joel’s protective father instinct is conveyed homologous with similar framing #I’m trying to approach this intellectually but in reality I feel sick #the last of us #tlou #tlou hbo #joel miller #pedro pascal #ellie tlou

Well. hrm. the way they all connect to each other. like it’s all starting to look like a circle of some sort. jess as rory’s mirror/reflection/narrative foil but also jess as he pertains to luke and jess as he pertains to lorelai. luke breaking the church bells luke who says he was troubled but they gave him a chance and just bc a kid has issues doesnt mean they don’t deserve that. luke who is a figure placed against the rest of the town, just in the sense that he is not like them, he does not hold their values, he doesn’t even sound like them. which is of course a result of scott patterson’s new york accent, but adds to this theme anyway. and they use jess to build this picture, because they walk the same and talk the same and they’re stubborn—independent to a near self-endangering degree—and emotionally repressed in the same way and luke himself admits that he spent more time working at his dad’s shop than he did at school, which jess also does. but jess and luke are also. very very different when you get past these similar values that are maybe ingrained into them through different circumstances and same genetic makeup. and in their differences you get a lot of jess and lorelai’s similarities. when it comes to their family dynamics and how it’s affected them in particular. it’s made them independent yes, but it’s also made them hypervigilant, almost paranoid in the way they are allergic to accepting help and especially accepting help from the people who hurt them. jess only goes to his mother’s wedding because luke asks him to, lorelai only asks her parents for money because rory needs it for school. and they, and this is where they differ from luke, don’t know how to trust people and so they don’t know how to talk to people. where luke’s particular brand of emotional constipation comes from a general cluelessness as to how to do it—which is why the tapes helped him so much—lorelai and jess’ come from emotional responses to the situations they grew up in. while it was different—lorelai growing up rich, jess growing up poor—the effect it had on them still resulted in something similar. lorelai with her overbearing manipulative mother and (emotionally) absent father, and jess with his neglecting manipulative mother and (in all senses of the word) absent father. the ways that, despite their effort to distance themselves, they still end up with similar mannerisms to the parent they have the most conflict with (lorelai and her controlling nature + that scene where they have the same nighttime routine, jess and his love for books + tendency to run away). and of course, their romanticism. their big confessions and period drama-esque speeches and, yeah, i do think in a way jess was asking rory to marry him in 4x21. come with me. let’s get married. luke and rory both being the most important people in their lives. literati+javajunkie where they are all melding into each other, and luke is rory and lorelai is jess but on the surface level dynamic luke is jess and lorelai is rory and they are all each other. on accident. by sheer nature of making jess as a character for the sole purpose of interfering with luke and lorelai’s relationship (which means he is important narratively to them both) and by making him rory’s love interest/foil (because ASP casted him before she even had the idea for the character) you have now made an accidental blending of them all together. he is like a skeleton key of a character. Okay. okay.

#clocking in for my shift at the pattern recognition factory #literati #javajunkie #gilmore girls #i was also going to talk about how rory is ALSO a skeleton key of a character similar to how jess is because. #well all the lines about how she is ‘just like her mother’ wrt stubbornness and defiancy and iron will. but it was already. very long. so. #i’ll save it for another post. #and in that post i’ll probably talk about rory and jess and their dads and luke also. bc that is also missing from this post. #sorry they are so mucu. #so much. #literatijavajunkie is the sun that this show revolves around. #also ties into how jess literally is the only side character that is also a Main Character. in this show. #like compared to rorys other boyfriends where their only importance is to rorys character. jess is like. essential to the narrative. #which is why he’s the one that almost got a spin-off show. he has the functions of a main character the exact same way rory does. #which is why the show would have been about him and HIS dad. literally a direct mirror to the concept of a show about a daughter and a mom. #whatever this is all going to be. in another post. #there are more screenshots to be gathered anyway. #ggwatch #gg meta

when Binah looks at herself in the mirror at Lobotomy Corporation, she doesn't see herself. she looks like herself. she sounds like herself. even the way she stands is exactly the same. but she sees a stranger in the mirror staring back, a stranger with the same two-toned hair and beauty mark and cold eyes. an Arbiter reduced to a mere Sephirah of a facility she came to destroy.

that's not me.

in the Library, Binah catches a glimpse of herself in a mirror again. she looks different now, with longer hair and altered attire, her signature earring replaced with two smaller ones. she looks even less like "herself" than ever before. but her fingers lace with yours as you glance up at her and ask if she's alright, concern weaving through your voice, and Binah merely gives you a subtle smile and nods.

that's me in there. perfectly intact.

#project moon #lobotomy corporation #library of ruina #binah #binah lobcorp #binah library of ruina #sometimes i look in the mirror and see no one #and sometimes binah did too #she picked up some pieces that were left from her previous self #and used them and new ones to forge something that was entirely her #and you are a key part in that

[raayllum]

*takes you by the face* listen to me. listen. callum is going to be the one to free aaravos. if it was going to be claudia it could've just happened at the end of s5 and the gang didn't need to have the prison. he's the only other main character with seasons of buildup. listen. idk whether it's going to be under possession or another form of coercion but he's going to do it. it's going to be a 'choice'. either knowing what he's risking in what leads to him doing it under possession or doing it bc he can't bear to lose rayla. "i would do anything for you" and all of 5x08 and "seems love's got a tighter grip on you than those chains round your wrists so i'll do you a favour and set you free" is just set up. rayla coming back with the cube on her shoulder that's also in callum's pawn intro is On Purpose. she's his light and he's going to lose the game anyway. he has to. listen to me-- *is being escorted out by security* he has the key - HE HAS THE KEY!

#imagine this in a tone that gets progressively more unhinged and u got it #if there is longing on the mirror of my heart #s6 speculation #predictions #s6 #text post #mine #tdp #the dragon prince #key is missing part of aaravos' heart and rayla is the missing piece of callum's heart #works if it's involved in him freeing her parents (the missing piece of HER heart) #or if it's for her outright bc an exchanging of hearts. “a fair exchange of beloved for beloved”

Hellooooo ^^ If you're still taking drawing prompts, how about Alyra Mahariel with Morrigan and a pose of your choice?

(Have a lovely day!!!!!)

Hello there! Yes, I was! :3 Here you go, it's A2, but we started with angst and we'll end up in angst (sorry):

There lies my passion, hidden There lies my love I'll hide it under a blanket Lull it to sleep

(I remembered now the song by Bjork I was looking today for the 9 ship songs. I'll correct that post too, but it's Hidden Place.)

Some Witch Hunt scene, I'm planning a bigger illustration. So, basically, we're about to part. Morrigan through the mirror, Alyra... Alyra stays. One year before she would have jumped, now... Now she's the Warden-Commander and the Arlessa. She can't. *angst*

#dragon age #dragon age origins #morrigan x mahariel #morrigan x warden #dragon age witch hunt #da fanart #da art #dao #timelapse #greypetrel #alyra mahariel #FEELZ #don't worry they'll see each other again Morrigan will find in her pocket the spare key of Vigil's Keep. Just in case. #Someone will order the giant mirror to be brought up in her chambers. You know #she has a big wardrobe now she needs a big mirror u.u
