There was a new roller coaster in the theme park but you had to beat a game of the Binding of Isaac to finish it. I kept on making the ride take way too long because I refused to stop playing until I got every item.

The monster in Shinra Manor is singing the “Trail of Blood” theme from FF7.

First introduced when Sephiroth/Jenova leave behind the trail of carnage in the Shinra building and I believe it was last heard when Hojo revealed he was Sephiroth’s father. I need to verify.

The theme is heard in Remake and seems to be referenced in the Haunted Hotel. I’m sure there are more scenes where it’s heard, but I like that the monster is singing it. A nice detail.

#this is what happens when you are doing translation work and have to dig up all these videos lol #now i am making random theme connections #i also found it fitting that they played this for hojo’s revelation because if anyone metaphorically #but also literally left a trail of blood in his wake after doing what he did…it’s hojo #ff7 #ffvii #ff7 rebirth spoilers #rebirth spoilers #final fantasy vii #final fantasy 7 #vincent valentine #shinra manor #sephiroth #ffvii rebirth

Also obsessed with how she’s the physical and metaphorical embodiment of a cherry blossom…

In Japan, the cherry blossom possesses contradicting significances and embodies matters that are mutually incompatible.

While cherry blossoms are aesthetically beautiful, they also represent violence and the ephemerality of life. From an individual level, cherry blossoms displayed both the joy of life (reproductivity, feminine sexuality, etc.) and the sorrowful side of life (impermanence of things and the significance of death).

The dual nature of cherry blossoms is present in Sakura as a character. This is made blatant through the appearance of sakura vs inner sakura which is clearly a metaphor for the concept of honne vs tatemae.

To further elaborate, the dual nature of her character is the crux of many of her inner conflicts throughout the series and it is also what fuels her growth. In both of these situations, Sakura is unable to express how she truly feels. Her actions contradict her thoughts and feelings, this is a consistent aspect of character within the manga.

(ino vs sakura and kage summit arc for instance)

Throughout the manga, she mentally struggles with being a shinobi. Her growth as a character is dependent upon her inner conflicts contradicting one another in an attempt to understand what it means to be a shinobi. Are they merely tools for the state, or is there something more?

The land of waves arc covers this explicitly but this question is posed once again for Sakura during Sasori vs Sakura where Sakura’s opponent, Sasori, quite literally turned himself into an emotionless puppet in order to deal with being a shinobi. He is the product of the teachings of Sunagakure, an oppressive military regime like many other shinobi villages, but also the result of someone who refuses to let go thus filling him with grief and resentment over the years (Art is eternal). It is no coincidence that Sakura, whose namesake symbolizes the fleeting impermanence of human existence, is the one to fight him.

Tied to the Buddhist themes of mortality, mindfulness and living in the present, Japanese cherry blossoms are a timeless metaphor for human existence. According to Buddhism, we live in the very midst of universal, fleeting impermanence. Any refusal to let go entirely whatever has now vanished inevitably leads to pain.

The meaning of cherry blossoms is also said to reflect the philosophy of a Japanese person, who lives in a country of impermanence, of earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanos. Thus, like cherry petals, they are willing to fall at the height of one’s life due to their awareness of the impermanence of life. The death of one’s flesh means a returning to the kami’s land, and the cherry flower becomes the bridge that links life to death.

#MORE OF ME RAMBLINGGH #META KIND OF?#there’s also the theme of death and rebirth being tied into how she develops as a character throughout the series #anyway happy birthday again to this queen..

I know it's a much beloved fic trope to have Stede wipe the kohl off Ed's face and tell him he knows he's Ed, he's not the Kraken, he knows him, he loves him, etc. But I have to say, I actually really love that by the time they're reunited, Ed's face is clean.

Ed has been through hell, his heart has been broken, he hates himself, he feels unworthy of love...

But now he wants to live.

Yes, of course it's wonderful that Stede loves Ed so deeply, that he's returned to him, that he wants him to be safe and well and happy. But Ed needs to want that first. Ed needs to go on his own healing journey that isn't contingent on Stede.

And with his face already bare in front of Stede when they reunite, with him having been re-born on a beach, we see that's happening.

He's taking his first steps forward, and I am so excited to see this journey.

wishing everyone who celebrates a happy easter and an even happier transgender day of visibility 🐣🪩🫶🪽

#went to church with my mom for the first time in years just because we thought it could be fun (it was!) and im thinking about. themes #resurrection and rebirth belongs to trans and nonbinary people and if i was going to pray i would thank god for making me queer !!!#the middle picture is from a disco themed university party we had on (holy) thursday where i had So much fun #(the crucifix earring was Mostly ironic and for the aesthetic)#been experiencing a lot of queer joy lately. as well as some new and complicated but Good feelings about gender. and maybe religion as well #anyway.#easter #religion #gender #tdov #trans day of visibility #lgbtq #queer #mine #💛#religion mention #christianity mention #<- just in case people dont want to see anything to do with religion in the trans tags today (or ever) !! <3 sorry if i missed something #edit: i originally also had a quote from julian k. jarboe here about humanity partaking in the act of creation #but i didnt realize the quote was from a jewish person regarding judaism so i removed it from the association with easter and christianity #the quote itself slaps and idk to what degree different religions and discussions or art about them should be kept separated !!#but im not the authority on that and ofc dont want to make anyone uncomfortable !!

Flowers of Elarion

Here's my interpretation on Aaravos with some flowers of Elarion (in glow pens because it's fun). I based them off of hyacinths for several reasons:

1. Hyacinths are my favorite flowers

2. Hyacinths smell AMAZING, and Tales of Xadia states that flowers of Elarion "have a scent that can soothe the most ragged spirit":

3. In flower language, hyacinths can symbolize jealousy, desire for forgiveness, and sincerity, among other things:

To me, this fits Lasair's story well. Leaving behind a flower as a gift as a way of asking for forgiveness for what they've stolen gives the gesture a bit more meaning. The sincerity/jealousy not only represents duality (a theme that is prevalent within the flowers of Elarion story) but also represents Lasair's feelings of jealousy for humans, who have enough to survive and don't need to steal, and the sincere desire for friendship and forgiveness.

I just think they're neat.

#aaravos #the dragon prince #my art #flowers of elarion #aaravos fanart #symbolism #duality theme #tdp theory #my theories #tdp meta #sort of #I love flower language #i could also go into Greek mythology and talk about how hyacinths symbolize rebirth and queer love #and how these themes link to the idea of Elarion and humanity #and especially link to the moon arcanum #but I digress #maybe one day I'll actually fully render this piece but for now this is it so #enjoy!

ohhhh god I just realized too that they literally fucking emphasize izzy’s role as half of blackbeard in ep 8 before he dies…. prince ricky calling him “the great izzy hands”.. calling him “a legend”.. talking about how blackbeard gets all the praise “while you are quite clearly the brains of this operation”….. also the way ricky keeps emphasizing “pirate’s tales” and the continued talk about their ‘stories’….. do you get what I’m going for here like,, izzy is half of blackbeard. blackbeard is a pirate’s tale. it was always just a story. the story they built together… it could never end as long as izzy held it up….. izzy hands, forever a living symbol of blackbeard.

#his identity has always been tied to Blackbeard and Blackbeard can’t die without him #AUGH WAIT THAT TIES INTO THE EARLIER THEMES TOO OF REBIRTH VIA DEATH. OUGH.#izzy hands #ofmd #ofmd spoilers #ofmd finale
