The Sword of Paros
Written by Kurimoto Kaoru Illustrated by Igarashi Yumiko
I feel the passage of time has done this work no favors. The ways in which it discusses gender and sexuality are so muddled that any interpretation doesn't feel quite correct.
The manga completely loses me when one of the main characters, (potentially the only woman in the story depending on interpretation), is sexually assaulted. The plot reasons of why this happens is questionable, considering the impact of the event could have easily been accomplished in a different manner.

Yellow and Blue designs for Clown Court AU 💔 not entirely happy with how Blue came out so I'll probably be revisiting 😭 but I had the concept for them first... Two ballerinas ! Info n thoughts under the cut 💘
They dance together for their performances... in all likelihood they've probably fused together a Bunch of times 😭 "cross-gem" fusions are probably totally fine with Pink's Homeworld
They haven't had any time to process their grief after White's shattering. The show must go on!
Performances used to star all 4 diamonds. Yellow and Blue as dancers, Pink as both director and the harlequin protagonist, and White as the pierrot. With White gone Pink no longer joins them, leaving these two to perform on their own.... They're overworked and the quality of their shows has gone down over the few millennia since then.
Yellow's design was inspired by historical josei shoujo masc girls ie; Lady Oscar from Rose of Versailles or Ermine from Sword of Paros. Juri Arisugawa. That type of girl 💔💔
After drawing these I found myself wishing I gave Blue a Flamenco dress instead of a typical ballet one 😭 but I'll try it for next time. I want her to look..... Expensive. And I need her to look crazier 💔💔 the eye shape is good but I need like runny messy makeup

Finished "The Sword of Paros," a yuri manga from 1986. This series is AMAZING. Beautiful art, heartfelt emotions, a wonderful main couple, and an ending that avoids the traditional tragic lesbian trope! 1000% a must read for any classic yuri fan. I loved it.

Español:
Me ha encantado el capítulo. Me gustó la conclusion final. Pero no paro de reirme con esto.
Tumblr media
Es que me imagino a Alive ahí con su dialogo interno.
Alive: ¡Pero la puta madre aprietate ya de una vez! ¡Mira hijo de puta te estoy perdonando y encima te haces el duro! ¡Mas duro sentirás mi espadota! [Se que se puede mal interpretar y lo he hecho aproposito. XD]
Inglish:
I loved the chapter. I liked the final conclusion. But I can't stop laughing with this.
Tumblr media
I can just imagine Alive there with her internal dialogue.
Alive: But motherfucker, tighten up already! Look, son of a bitch, I'm forgiving you and you're playing hard to get! You'll feel my sword harder! [I know it can be misinterpreted and I did it on purpose XD].
Hahahaha me alegra que te hiciera gracia! ≧▽≦)

About Elysea
Tumblr media
Basics
• Forest Name: Ljotte Paro (no longer uses)
• Gender: Female
• Nameday: 24th Sun, Sixth Umbral moon.
• Age: 50
• Race: Veena viera
• Alignment: Neutral Good
• Marital Status: Single, previously engaged
• Server: Coeurl
Tumblr media
Appearance and Features
• Hair: Blue with silver highlights, medium length with bangs. She often braids her hair, and attempts to take care of it as well as she can on her travels.
• Eyes: Blue/gray, though they glow brightly blue when casting white magic spells.
• Height: 6’2”
• Complexion: Smooth blushed alabaster skin, with a beauty mark and light freckles on her face.
• Face: A youthful face, belied by one that seems to carry much wisdom and hardship from her past. Almond shaped eyes that can give one a piercing hunter's gaze when necessary, with heavy eyelids that make her eyes appear darker than they truly are. Her small vieran nose has a longer bridge than normal, though mostly unremarkable. Her lips are bow-shaped, which she makes sure to take care of with balm that she makes herself. Despite her travels, she often applies simple makeup and attempts to keep herself presentable, a sign of sophistication despite her free-spirited mannerisms.
• Physique: Lithe and lean; a silhouette of gentle curves, long powerful legs, and natural muscle tone. Delicate hands and fingers that have shown signs of hardship in the past, but recently have been better treated. Preferring to travel by foot, and using her downtime to practice her swordsmanship, she is in exceptional shape, and an excellent runner.
• Identifying Marks: Her body is littered with the scars, with most being on her back, side, and arms. She typically dresses conservatively to hide them, though the most noticeable one is on her right forearm that is sometimes noticeable past the cuff of her sleeve. She has a small straight vertical scar on her jaw to the right of her chin as well that is only visible in certain lighting, that she covers with makeup often while in cities. Her face was mostly spared by the hardships she endured. The most gruesome scars on her back frequently cause her discomfort, even to this day.
• Language and Voice: Soft and velvety, her normal speaking voice is barely above a whisper, but can sometimes carry a deep, commanding weight when the situation calls for it. She is fluent in vieran forest speak and Dalmascan, but is working on her Eorzean. She speaks with a thick vieran (Scandinavian) accent, with some inflections and mannerisms of upper-class Dalmascan.
• Personal effects: At her back, she carries her well-used travel pack, which shows the signs of a long history of rugged use and recent repair. Within it, she carries most of her life possessions, such as her herbalism tools, rations, extra clothing, and more. Curiously, sheathed upon a belt that seems slightly too large for her, she keeps one of her most prized possessions: a Dalmascan knight's sword. The sword is polished, sharpened, and maintained pristine, and it seems that she takes extra care of it above many of her other belongings. She can sometimes be found welding a staff as well, though she does not always bring it on her travels. The rings she wears upon her fingers belonged to her sister, who was a war dancer in the Dalmascan resistance.
Tumblr media
Personal life
• Residence: She was born in an outskirts village of the Skatay Range, the veena homeland, and fled 25 years ago. Now a Dalmascan refugee in Eorzea, she has no place to call her own yet, but she currently stays with a friend and benefactor in Gridania, who offered her space within her residence.
• Relationships and Children: If asked, Elysea would say that she is single and not particularly looking, and that she has no gender preference, or rather, is bisexual. While she attempts to put on a happy demeanor for those she meets, it becomes evident quite quickly that she is lonely, but refuses to admit such. Elysea fawns over children, and her guard drops immediately around them. She longs to have some of her own and settle down some day, but would say that she doubts she ever will, due to her life situation and personal quest to find herself again.
• Occupation: While not officially employed, she acts as a wandering freelance healer and protector, and sells the herbs and valuables she finds along the way.
• Relatives:
Yvitte: She speaks fondly of her great-grandmother Yvitte, who was a wise-woman, spiritualist, and leader of her home city. She passed away from natural causes when Elysea was a child.
Yrgotte: When asked of her mother, Yrgotte Elysea shuts down, as if reverting to the state of an abused child. Her relationship with her mother is extremely strained, and she wishes not to speak of her any more than that. She cares not whether her mother is still alive in the Skatay Range, or if she has passed in the time since she left.
Father: She never knew her father. When asked if she ever wonders about him, she says that she does, though it's not something that deeply interests her at this stage in her life.
Oryne: If asked of her siblings, Elysea's face flashes a brief moment of sorrow. Oryne, her younger brother, was taken by the Wood Warders when he came of age, and Elysea has never heard from or seen him since. Not a whisper of a rumor. She would say that she wishes to know if he is still alive, and if he has left the Warders, to reconnect someday.
Grmyr: Elysea responds with a tinge of sadness in her voice, but at the same time, smile as she stares back at you. Her younger sister was her best friend, and she believed that she was still with her always, one with nature now, as she would have wanted.
Danian Fal’thahn: Elysea says that her late fiancé, a Dalmascan knight and minor lord, was a noble and honorable man. He inspires her to stay in the light, and to keep her head up, even when she is at her lowest. She also feels that he is always with her, one with nature, like her sister.

Elysea is initially warm and kind to most people that she meets on her travels, and is always willing to help those in need. She upholds a certain code of honor, tends to be a little naive of those that wish to do her harm due to this, and often trusts people blindly. She enjoys meeting people, but often has trouble opening up to others herself. Many will find that they end up spilling their lives to her, but afterward, knowing very little about the mysterious viera that just dropped in and out of their lives.
Spending time with her, one will notice nuances. When amongst others, she puts on an air of sophistication that can sometimes seem forced, but as soon as they are away from the city and in the wilderness, she becomes more free-spirited and energetic. A strange dichotomy, she feels more at home in the wilds, but still appreciates the modern comforts afforded by society. Despite her attempts at high-class mannerisms, she cares little for material gain, and anything of worth that she carries has deep sentimental value to her.
Tumblr media
Additional Info and Hooks
• She is a powerful white magic user, though she does not like showmanship, and will usually only perform it publicly if extremely necessary. This power seems to come to her innately, and blue-white lines under her skin, like deep tattoos, present themselves when exerting herself. She seems to draw much power from her own aether, which was rendered unstable by Garlean experiments. This means that she is capable of great feats of magic, but at the risk of seriously hurting or even killing herself if she is not careful.
• Quietly searching for any knowledge of white magic in Eorzea, with a keen interest in Amdapor. Any mention of white magic, Elementals, or Amdapor will spark her interest. She possesses an Amdaporian-era cultist tome, and seeks to have someone with knowledge of that culture translate it for her. She stole the tome from her mother before she fled her home, but how her family came into possession of such a tome to begin with is a mystery. Her mother used a partially translated fertility spell to have Elysea, and she believes that some meaning in her life could be found in solving the mystery of this ancient spell book.
• Spent time as a Garlean war prisoner and guinea pig for an enterprising Garlean scientist. Getting her to speak of this time is difficult, and it is an extremely touchy subject with her. Having been a member of the Dalmascan resistance, losing her fiancé to the Garleans, and due to her mistreatment at the hands of her captors, she harbors a deep disdain for Garleans and Garlemald. Since the events of Endwalker, she may be more sympathetic to individual Garleans, but despises them as a whole.
• If ever put to the task of defending herself, she is extremely skilled with her sword, relying more so on speed and technique than strength, though she does not seem to lack in that attribute either. Her displays of dedicated tutoring from a skilled knightly swordsman is belied by blows that can come across as brutal and almost savage in nature, as if a rage fills her that is honed and harnessed by the training of an honor bound expert. She combines her talents of war dancing, to make a sword dance that is elegant and beautiful; a white swan gently taking off in flight. Her strikes are vicious and deadly; a tigress going in for the kill. When pushed to the limit, or wishing to avoid a fight altogether, she will use her white magic to blind or dazzle and opponent before fleeing.
• A hearty solo wanderer, but she will happily travel with company if the opportunity arises, often traveling with others in directions she had no intention to go, just to help. She takes nothing as a reward for any of the services she renders, often asking to stay anonymous, flabbergasting many recipients of her talents with her generosity.
• Though she has no permanent place to call home, she has space in a fellow refugee's house in Gridania. Who this friend is, she keeps as a secret.
• Is often accompanied by an owlet that she has named Amathus. The owlet seems to have taken to her, and will often perch on her shoulder, or on the trees or scenery around her. She met the owlet upon a recent outing in the Shroud, and now feeds and takes care of him when she can.

Thangtong Gyalpo's Counsel To The People Of Paro, Bhutan
People on a great pilgrimage from Paro in Bhutan then came to meet the great adept. "When the Dharma had not spread in our country,"
they said, "you kindly spread the Dharma. Now the Dharma has spread even more than it had when you came. Master, we are about to die from missing you so much. Please, by all means, come to Paro." The great adept replied, "If you are devoted to me, meditate that I am on the top of your head, and offer prayers."
"If we meditate on you, blessings come, but since we have little pure perception in regard to Dharma, and great attachment and hatred, we will die competing with our paternal relatives about which of us is best. So we request an oral instruction that will benefit our minds."
"Keep this warning about impermanence in mind and think about it!"
he said, and spoke this:
The lord, the Dharma lord whose kindness can never be repaid, rests as an ornament on the top of my devoted head.
In general, sentient beings wandering in samsara, and in particular, all who know that those beings have been your mother, spead your fingers on your chests and think about this!
When you think about death and the impermanence of life, sadness and renunciation arise.
Don't be attached to this samsara as a home!
Rely on the antidote for this enemy, the afflictions!
Don't carry a load of sins and obscurations!
Don't accumulate ripening evil karma!
This precipitous path of the intermediate state is difficult to travel. This road to the next life leads to a distant place.
Everyone falls into the hands of the Lord of Death.
This life is dwindling right now, moment by moment. Like cattle being led to the slaughter ground, it's uncertain whether death will be tomorrow or the day after.
The circulation of breath is about to stop at the entrance to your nostrils. All the soothsayers, Bönpos, and doctors give up.
A soft mat is laid out, but you hurt from below.
A soft pillow is placed, but the flesh of your jaw stiffens. You wear many clothes, but can't get warm. The odor of the dying clings to your body. The filth of a corpse attaches to your face. The sublime taste of many delicious foods is lost. You drink a sip of water, but it catches in the throat. Your tongue can't speak a single word of speech. Your nose, the organ of scent, is blocked with mucus. The clear lamps of your eyes shrink inward. Unable to move the body, your physical strength is gone.
The mere thread of your breath makes a rasping sound. Anguished relatives cry and hold you. You have no idea where you will go, but they hope for the dying to fulfill the aims of the living, crying, "Give us advice, leave a will!" And as you are thinking, sadness arises.
You want to stay, but have no self-control.
You're lost to the power of the mara of the Lord of Death.
Loving relatives are depressed and grieving.
Hateful enemies praise the gods, singing and dancing.
Some hide your food and valuables in secret.
Some make arrangements for the corpse.
You have no self-control over the mode of birth or where you will be reborn.
Even if you know what to do, the force of karma is too strong.
Valuable things won't turn the face of the Lord of Death.
The wealthy leave empty-handed and naked.
A fine, clever man is stricken mute.
There is nowhere for heroes to join swords.
The bravery of virile men ends here.
The radiant complexion of a stunning woman fades. The face of a charming girl is no use here. Even with many subjects, attendants, and servants who bear suffering for you in many ways, you will go alone.
Even though your sons and daughters have gathered, you will go alone. Anguished people can't bear to part. Grasping people are attached to their valuables.
They remember Dharma at that moment, but it's too late.
All people who have committed non-virtuous acts are welcomed in advance by the agents of Yama, driven from behind by the winds of their evil deeds, and crushed from above by the burden of ripened karma.
The various fears of a confused mind appear.
Unbearable punishments torment the mind.
Guilt arises about actions done before.
You think, "From now on, I must practice Dharma!"
But if you die right now, what can you do?
It's time to think it over again.
Everyone eats a mouthful of food.
Everyone wears clothes on the body.
Food and wealth other than that are extra.
It's better if you resort to the jewel of contentment.
Everyone keep these words in mind!
Ask the experts, "Is this true?"
When people with renunciation and faith hear and think about these words, weariness of samsara will certainly arise.
(King of the Empty Plain)

Paros no Ken / The Sword of Paros

Text
Tumblr media
"He was restlessly engaged in battle and adventure, to which he, the son of a nobleman of the island of Paros and a Thracian concubine, was led by circumstances. Thasos was colonized by Paros and had to be maintained in perpetual war. There was war elsewhere as well. Whoever knew how to wield a sword was not at a loss for an opportunity to do so. In battle the poet also met his end."

Devdas chapter 14 (of 16)
Tumblr media
Paro (Dir: Bhimal Roy 1955)
In this chapter where we meet Paro two years later focusing her energy on charity and helping people in need, she receives a distressing letter from her childhood friend Manorama describing Devdas' current condition.
Here I paid attention to examples of partial reduplication or echo-construction, where a noun is repeated but the initial letter of the duplication is replaced with व - this creates a unique word with the added meaning of "x etc." or "x and the like".
This echoing sort of extends the meaning from the actual thing mentioned to include things one may associate with it, as we see in the Penguin Books' English translations:
मुझे शिकायत-विकायत करने की ज़रूरत नहीं है। I have no use for complaints and quarrels.
लेकिन ये नौकरानियाँ ही खर्च-वर्च की बात को लेकर बातें करती हैं। But these maids keep talking about the expenses.
सौभाग्य से उसने मेरा हाथ-वाथ कुछ नहीं पकड़ा था। Thank goodness he didn't grab my hand or something.
