#trapped ep 04

[purplealmonds]

Finished this just in time for the new trailer drop! This is my Mononoke illustration featuring assorted merch from the anime, movie, and stage play! How many can you recognize? ⚖️👹

(Yes, please send answers in the replies! Answers, progress pics, artist commentary will be drafted on a separate post when I'm less tired) ⭐️ UPDATE 04/03/24: Abridged artist commentary is now available under the cut! For the full version, please see the Google Doc linked in the replies.

👁️Overview 

Late last year, I rather belatedly discovered Mononoke’s 15th anniversary came and went, and with it, an entire swath of new content to manically pore over. This is an illustration of the various Mononoke merchandise, props, and set dressing I discovered.

🔎Scope

Some fun facts regarding the work that went into this illustration!

Not including research time, this project ran for roughly two months, consuming much of my waking hours outside of my full time and freelance jobs.

While the illustration does not depict all of my findings, it does feature over 120 unique props and set dressings!

The majority of the props and set dressing were modeled to varying degrees of detail in SketchUp.

To model prep, I often put together schematics on Photoshop or Illustrators. Some were created from scratch. Others were created with the liberal usage of the Photoshop transform and perspective warp function. 

The master file is 1.5GB. The dimensions are 6400x3600 at 300 dpi, and contains over 2,200 layers. 

Near the end of production, the master file became so unwieldy I created a separate working file. This way, I could create assets lag-free then import the layers into the master file. 

---

Past this point is where most of the commentary cuts were made for the sake of brevity. Again, look in the replies for the Google Doc link containing the full version with a table of contents for easier navigation!

---

🗳️3D Layout

As you can see, the backbone of this illustration is the 3D model. I spent perhaps 30-40% of my production time on this stage.

And this is the lit version. The lighting ultimately got downplayed in favor of showcasing the vibrant colors. I like how simple it looks though!

---

🎬Production-Based Set Dressing

In addition to merchandise, I wanted to insert set dressing and props from the various Mononoke productions. 

🦊Kusuriuri

It’s odd to have a section dedicated just to him, but his unique appearance warrants it. His garb and overall appearance is an amalgam of the anime and movie. The original intent was ambiguity– kind of like the blue/black vs. yellow/white dress phenomena a few years back. But after doing the color flats, I rather liked how the rich, unaltered colored fit with the overall composition so it became more blatant. I’m surprised that nobody has commented on this since I published the illustration. Maybe because I didn’t feature him in a close-up?

🐈 kai ~Ayakashi~Bake Neko (2006)

Finding props iconic to this story arc (outside of the Kusuriuri’s tools of trade, of course) was somewhat difficult. While the environment was richly decorated, it mainly consisted of 2D artwork which I wasn’t keen on retracing. I opted to paint objects that characters interacted with or featured heavily in the show.

Salt Jar

Candlestick

Rat Trap

🦋Mononoke (2007)

The props fall into three distinct categories here: Kusuriuri’s tools and trinkets; things featured in the opening and ending credits; and objects iconic to each of the five story arcs in the series. I tried to keep most of them clustered on the tatami, but as space grew scarce some props trickled up onto the deck as well.

Medicine Box

Exorcism Sword

Tenbin

Paper Talisman

Mirror

Ring

Geta Sandal

Necklace

Paper Umbrella (Zashikiwarashi)

Daruma Dolls ( Zashikiwarashi)

Gunpowder Ball (Umi Bozu)

Smoking Pipe (Nopperabou)

Genjiko Blocks (Nue)

Train Ticket (Bake Neko)

Lantern (Anime OP)

Butterflies (Anime EP)

☂️Mononoke: Karakasa (2024)

Pretty slim pickings for the new movie since I only had the teaser, first trailer, and movie poster to reference from. Kusuriuri’s tools of trade were a given, but finding memorable and narratively significant objects was a tad troublesome.

Thankfully, the set dressing ended up (however subconsciously) strikingly similar to the movie’s environment design, down to the green tatami and multicolor shoji screen. I suppose at this point I was so immersed in Mononoke content that its aesthetics subconsciously informed my design choices! 

Exorcism Sword

Tenbin

Paper Talisman

Comb

Prisoner to Temptation | Epilogue

Putting a cut here for my beloved @starlightfantasy​ so as not to spoil things for her. :D

Word Count: 2k (I know, short but super sweet)

A/N: I really should have known that taking a mental break from finishing this story would have disrupted the flow of the universe as we know it, and now we’ve all been made to suffer through the extraordinary stellar beauty of half-naked Chae Hyungwon. He really did that and he did that for me. And, here, I foolishly deluded myself into thinking that I was the one controlling the pain around here. Hyungwon’s had all of the power all along... He compelled me to stay up until 2AM to publish this so I didn’t miss the final week after all.

Anyway, onward toward our happy ending!

Cvr | 01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 | 07 | 08 | 09 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | Ep

The royal wing rang with shrieks of pain and howls of agony so loudly that most corners of the palace grounds had been pierced, too. At the epicenter, in the former bedroom of the Princess Supreme, they were most shrill. There, Naran was propped against her headboard, her hands gripping two straps tethered to the ceiling as a pair of mid-wives pressed back her knees. Sweat poured down the princess’s face, and her thin cotton robe clung to her body.

“It is time, Your Majesty,” said a squat, wizened woman, with her own sweat-peppered brow and wise eyes.

Empress Indeok turned her attention to her daughter-in-law, though the princess couldn’t seem to focus her gaze on anything in the room. In her firm, soothing voice, the empress said, “Naran, are you ready to welcome your baby to the world?”

“No, I want Saran. Where’s Saran?” demanded the frazzled princess.

Hyungwon mopped a fresh cloth along his wife’s forehead as he answered, “She’s still a week out, darling, remember?”

Naran’s eyes widened to their limit as panic overtook her. She shook her head frantically. “No! I have to wait for her! She has to be here. We can wait, right?”

“Your Highness,” warned the mid-wife, “you must keep Her Grace calm.”

“And just how do I do that?” he snapped. “She’s suffering so.”

“Talk to your wife, Your Highness. She will need you to help her through this,” the old woman urged.

Hyungwon grabbed the support ties by Naran’s hand, and the princess immediately snapped the trap to clench his hand, too. With his free hand, he brushed his wife’s sodden bangs from her forehead as he praised her, “Do you have any idea how beautiful you are right now?”

“Liar,” snarled Naran though she squeezed his hand urgently.

“You’re having our baby. What could be more beautiful in the whole world?”

“Wonnie, I’m so scared.”

“As am I, my love, but it’s a good kind of scary, isn’t it?”

Indeok rubbed Naran’s forearm as she added, “It is terrifying, but in a few minutes, it will be perfect. You’ll be a family.”

The princess let out a pained sob but nodded. “Please do not leave me, Mother.”

A single tear slipped from the corner of the empress’s eye as she laid a reassuring hand on the princess’s enormous stomach. “I swear it then.”

“Your Highness,” said one of the younger midwives to Naran, “it is time to push.”

The panic was back in Naran’s voice as she jolted up. “How?”

The old woman who knelt between the princess’s legs gently guided her ankles back a bit higher and wider as she continued in a sturdy, confident voice, “Bear down as hard as you can and trust what nature tells you to do. Do not forget to breathe, Your Highness.”

Naran’s terrified eyes whipped up to her husband. Sweat dripped into them, making them itch, but Hyungwon was quick to wipe it away.

“You’re ready, my love. You can do it,” he assured.

“I can’t. I can’t. It hurts. You’ve no idea how much.”

“You’re right, I do not, but you are the most fearsome person I have ever met, Naran. You can do anything. Squeeze my hand as hard as you can. Hurt me if you must. I’m right here.”

The princess looked at her husband, who had never looked surer of anything in his life. Her hand tightened around his tighter and tighter and tighter, and though her nails bit into his skin until creases formed at the edge of his eyes, Hyungwon’s support did not waver.

At last, Naran announced, “I am ready.”

“Push, Your Grace,” urged the midwife, and Naran let out a grunt and a wail as her eyes winched shut until she saw blooms of white like dandelion seeds exploding in the wind.

“Breathe,” Hyungwon whispered in that reassuring rasp that she loved.

The princess gulped for breath, and as the other midwife counted down on her fingers, the one stationed between her legs said, “Push!”

Another round and then another and then another. Each time, the agony intensified until Naran was nothing but a bundle of straining muscles and raw nerves.

“There’s the head!” the midwife rejoiced at length.

Naran’s head sagged back on her shoulders. It wasn’t the pain that overwhelmed so much as it was the intensity of the whole experience. Her body felt distended to its max. She wanted to curl in on herself like a pill bug to escape, but there was an even more pressing need to purge herself. Her body had not been her own for months on end, and it was fighting tooth and nail to reclaim itself.

“Wonnie,” she whimpered, “I don’t know how much more of this I can take.”

He kissed her then and turned his hand in hers to hold it properly. His soothing gaze met her strung-out one, and already, she felt strength welling in her again. He smiled then and said, “It’s almost over, darling. We’re finally going to meet our baby.”

“Yeah…” she said breathlessly.

“And when you teach it Moghul, you’ll teach me, too, right?”

“Push, Your Highness!”

Naran screamed a yes through another squeeze as the midwives readied the room for the baby’s arrival.

Hyungwon continued combing his wife’s bangs back from her forehead as he continued, “And when our child is old enough, we will ride back to Moghulikhan.”

“I was born... On a horse... You know,” she managed through gritted teeth.

“I know.”

“One more!” the midwife commanded again as she pressed back the princess’s knees, and this time, as Naran gulped for breath and winched her eyes shut, she funneled what was left of her strength into her belly muscles. At last, the pressure released, and as soon as it did, she felt her bones turn to jelly. She sank into the bed with an incredulous sob and a drunken laugh, and when she glanced up, Hyungwon was crying.

“My love?” Naran said weakly.

Only then did the shrill cry pierce her foggy brain.

Their baby had arrived.

“It's a girl, Your Highnesses!” one of the midwives proclaimed.

Again, Naran looked nervously to her husband, but the enormous smile on his face was equaled only by the day she had told him she loved him too. Wet tracks glistened on his cheeks as the midwives handed their daughter to the prince. The bundle was small and tight, but the wails were earsplitting, yet it was the most resplendent sound she had ever heard in her whole life. The princess couldn't see her baby's face, but she didn't need to. She saw her husband's. Every curve of Hyungwon’s face was as soft and puffy as a cloud and just as bright as he rocked the bundle in his arms.

“She's beautiful, like a little star,” he whispered. It was nearly drowned out by the baby's cries, but Naran heard it all the same. “Just like her mother.”

The midwives finished cleaning up the princess, and Naran barely had the strength to do anything other than stare at her new family beside her. The eldest midwife rattled off instructions for the prince, who nodded and hummed as though he were listening though his eyes never left his daughter. The midwife grinned as she grabbed a wet cloth and dabbed the baby's face clean before she returned to the princess.

As the sheets were tucked around the princess's waist, the grandmotherly midwife said, “Congratulations, Your Highnesses. May she be as strong and gentle and beloved as the two of you are.”

“She’s already beloved,” murmured the prince.

He bowed to the midwives and, at last, laid their daughter on Naran’s breast, its scrunched and angry face huffing out rattling breaths that soothed with every beat of its mother’s heart. A moment later, Hyungwon crawled into the empty space beside Naran and joined her head on the pillow so they could both stare at the little moon face who had finally stopped screaming. His arm wrapped around his wife’s waist as he pressed his forehead to hers.

“Welcome to the world, little princess,” cooed the empress as she tickled her finger under the baby’s chin. There was marvel in Indeok’s eyes as she whispered, “A granddaughter… How lovely. I always wanted a little girl. She’s perfect.”

“She is,” echoed Hyungwon.

Naran nodded, a drowsy smile pasted on her lips. Her words were slurred with both exhaustion and love as she said, “Someone please tell my Magda, though, no doubt her ear is already at the door.”

“Wouldn’t dream of it, My Lady!” came the trembling proclamation through the wall along with the telltale hiccup of poorly controlled sobs of joy.

Indeok laughed and kissed all three of her loved ones on the forehead before she stood, smoothed out her hanbok, wiped another round of tears from her eyes, and headed for the door. “I will share the good news with the palace. You three stay here and fall deeper in love.”

“My mother,” laughed Hyungwon, “ever the poet.”

“Yes, well, I have much to write about these days, do I not? I will send for some fresh cold water and some nourishment. Congratulations, Your Highnesses,” said the empress with a deep bow for the two generations behind her.

“Thank you, Mother,” Naran said weakly though it was with a grateful smile.

With that, Indeok slipped out, and the last thing the princess saw before the door closed was Magda’s red face bloated with tears and a toothy grin.

“Saran is going to be so disappointed she missed this,” murmured the princess.

“How can she be disappointed with such a mesmerizing creature here to greet her?”

Naran smiled and sighed effervescently.

“How are you feeling, my love?” Hyungwon asked.

“Exhausted and very sore, but never better.”

“Whatever you need, just tell me,” he urged.

“A kiss?” suggested the princess, tearing her eyes away from the squirming, huffing bundle on her chest to her husband’s glowing face.

The prince planted a lingering kiss on her lips before he nuzzled his nose along hers, and then they returned their loving gazes to their new baby.

“What shall we name her?” asked Naran, entranced.

“How about something Moghul?”

She gawked at her husband. “You want to name a Goryeon princess something Moghul? The Emperor will laugh us out of the realm.”

“You’re still here, Princess Narangerel,” he teased.

“Yes, but I walked into this role. I wasn’t born into it, and I’m certainly not the granddaughter to the mighty Emperor Gongmin.”

Hyungwon scoffed playfully. “By the time Goryeon Court gets done with its thirty million ceremonies, our little star will be gifted another thirty million names of distinction. She is ours and her name should be a special gift from us.”

“I love you,” Naran blurted suddenly.

The prince kissed her again, slowly and gently, careful not to wake the tiny pink bean now slumbering. When he pulled back, he said, “So, is that a yes to a Moghul name?”

“Absolutely yes, and I think I have the perfect one.”

“Let me hear it, my darling.”

“Odgerel.”

Hyungwon tested it out on his lips, and by the last syllable, the name had curled them into a smile. “What does it mean?”

“Well, my name means sunlight, my sister’s, moonlight, and Odgerel means starlight. I thought since you have called us both your little star—”

“I love it. It’s brilliant.”

“You do?” Naran asked excitedly.

The prince nodded. “It’s a name fit for a princess of two realms, but more importantly, a name fit for our little princess. Odgerel.”

“Odgerel,” repeated the Princess Supreme as she studied the scrunched face of her daughter. With a happy sigh, Naran said, “She has your button nose.”

Hyungwon grinned a wonky grin and tightened his arm around his girls. “You think so?”

“Mm, definitely. I loved that nose the moment I saw it,” his wife said as she kissed him on its rounded tip.

“Naran?”

“Hm?” she murmured, her eyelids drooping with every passing blissful second.

“This is the happiest day of my life.”

“Mm, mine too…” said she as she drifted in and out. “I love you, Wonnie.”

The prince kissed both his princesses’ crowns then, and with the last of her consciousness, Naran heard her husband whisper, “I love you more than anything, my lights of my life.”

A/N: I hope I fulfilled my promises to you and delivered the fluffy, joyous ending our leads deserved. At over 125k, we can add another tally to my MX archives of excessive indulgence. I know there’s a serious lack of chapter Hyungwon fics out there (why??? He’s so deserving of adventures and romance and happyhappyhappy endings. Where are you, my fellow writers??? *sob*), so I’m super-duper happy to have contributed something now for other people who resent this, too.

Now for my love song to you, my reader friends:

I can’t emphasize enough how grateful I am to have journeyed with so many of you to our happily ever after here. When I started this story, I knew it was going to special to me (because Hyungwon is special to me), but I had no idea it would be so special to so many of you. Through Hyungwon and Naran, I have gotten to meet many of my readers, including those of you who prefer lurking in peace yet still reached out to tell me you enjoyed the story. Thank you all for including me in your reading experience! I feel privileged. <3 I write everything with love, so I’m thrilled that so many of you felt that.

I promise I have lots more inspiration and even motivation (*coughs* GQ behind-the-scenes *coughs*). The MX community is comparatively so quiet despite how large and international its fanbase actually is, so I feel the compulsion to continue to contribute on the regular. I’ll have four more October stories coming down the pike, but in the interim, I also have the completion of Neo Seoul, a few other oneshots I have so close to completion, a Changkyun chapter fic I’m honestly pretty jazzed about, another Hyungwon chapter fic inspired by Cowboy Bebop of all things, and another OT7 embarrassing smutfest, too, eheh. Count on more universes, themes, and new styles, too—but no second person (but y’all know that by this point haha). I hope you find a few more things you can enjoy with me. <3

Signing off from the prosperous, optimistic, and happy capital of Namgyeong,

Biff Hofosho ;)

The Chay Rewatch

As part of my KP Rewatch, I’m going to be commenting on each episode and analyzing the different Chay scenes. He’s my favorite character, and I thought I’d put down my thoughts (as well as timestamps for his scenes) as a fun way to express that.

Ep 1 & 2 Chay Rewatch

Episode 3 - Enter Kim Stage Right

Time: 1:46 – 1:54 & 2:04-2:07 – Previously on, my greatest enemy and only ally

At least they used different clips this time

Where is my baby boi? Where is Chay? When will he return?

Ep 3 dives deeper into how screwed up all three of the major family boys are

Kinn can’t commit and is slowly falling for who Porsche is

Tankhun is hilarious, and his outfits are always a treasure trove of weird fashion. His trauma is so present even when he’s having fun. Tong plays him so well.

And then there’s Kim.

Time: 31:38 – 33:51 – Mysterious Balcony Man

The introduction to Kim is done is pieces, slowly feeding the audience. The storytelling carries on the amazing writing from episode 1. It’s a great way of showing that Kim may not be living in the compound or running things, but he’s one to watch out for (and maybe even fear). First, we hear Pete’s description of him back in ep 2 (that essentially states he’s dangerous and aloof while also setting up that his storyline isn’t going to connect to the family compound much) and then we hear his voice just before Big bows to someone offscreen. The build up tells the viewers that this new person, the one that we’ve been waiting for almost 3 episodes for, is powerful and to be feared. The colors of this scene are also noticeably darker as compared to the warmer tones used in the main family compound or the bright pink from Yok’s bar.

I adore the first shot we get of Kim. Standing with his back to the camera, he retains his air of mystery, but the metal fixtures on the glass doors make me think of a birdcage. He’s out of the compound, hell he’s even in the open air, but this shot shows that he’s just as trapped in the mafia world as his brothers despite the space he’s tried to create between himself and his family. He’s the songbird trapped in Korn’s game.

“Are you in the wrong place?” – Kim is so bitchy I love him. This is Kimhan Theerapanyakul, the third son. Before we even see his face, we get to know his arrogant and aloof side. Except do we? Kim immediately asks who is protecting his brother, and he knows enough about Kinn’s guards to know that Ken is the likely successor with Big injured. Kim’s emotions are always just under the surface. The only problem is no one digs deeper until we get to Porchay. Everyone is scared of Kim or just accepts the mask he shows them.

Kimlock Holmes makes his introduction. A new bodyguard with a suspicious background? Who’s been put on the security detail of both of his brothers? Big you might as well have wrapped this mystery with a bow. In all seriousness, Kim is protective of the few people he allows into his heart (though he will never ever tell them that), and this news would have put his brain on red alert because Kim will not tolerate any harm to his loved ones.

“Do you want one heartbroken song, huh?” – What a little bitch, again I love him. Kim sandwiches his concern for his brothers with two backhanded comments attacking Big. Kim (I’m going to let you all in on a secret) is very bad at hiding. His concern, his conspiracy board, his feelings for Chay, etc. This man is so lucky that everyone is a little scared of him and knows to keep away, or he’d be found out in an instant. (Also, only one Kim? After Chay blocks you, you’ll be writing a million. Love the foreshadowing to Kim’s inevitable heartbreak though. This show does do great set up for some of the storylines)

And then the scene ends without ever showing the viewer Kim’s face further drawing out the viewer’s introduction to Kim. Its honestly great set up for this character, and while he’s not the only one receiving this kind of drawn out treatment (hello Vegas in ep 2 with the hot assassin lady) his is done successfully. I remember first watching this show with no background at all wondering who the hell this guy is (I did have to rewatch the scenes to match the voices before I could connect mysterious balcony guy to WiK but that’s neither here nor there)

Kim’s outfit: Either costuming or Jeff really love themselves an oversized suit jacket. It makes Jeff look bigger than he actually is which works for the introduction of his character. Its also very different from his other outfits through the series. He’s dressed closer to the major family look with his suit jacket and darker color scheme. He still retains his idol status though making this one of the few looks that blend his two personas. I have a few theories about how Kim uses his different jackets as a shield to hide his real self, given the only times we see Kim not wearing his jackets is when he’s in his feelings about Chay (ie the warehouse scene, the fight in Yok’s bar, him recording the song, him crying over Chay’s polaroids), I’d say I’m close to being right

Still no Chay, but I will accept meeting his love interest during this Chay drought

Overall Chay Rating (Chrating): I’ll give this episode a D

There’s still no Chay, but we get a really great introduction to Kim which sets up Chay’s entire storyline. Thus, a slightly better grade. Episode 3 in general is better than episode 2 to me. Its not jamming a ton of character intros and wacky worldbuilding into the episode the same way Ep 2 does. We get a real introduction to Tankhun and Kim as well as the first sparks of KinnPorsche. I could have done without 2 party scenes in one ep (mainly because to me it makes them feel rushed), and it makes me as a viewer wonder when we’re going to get any real mafia action in the mafia romance story. But overall, I have one question... WHERE IS MY BABY BOI?!

Since Peter needs money badly, he eggs Jameson on to hear out the wacky inventor. Smythe shows how his robot instantly shoots out steel tentacles at the hint of a spider's presence and grabs a hold of Peter much to his surprise.

Crit Role Miniature Rollout: C3E21 Fight at the Museum…

With Andrew Harshman

An archive and analysis of the minis used on CR.

5th edition combat and 3rd degree burns, what a combination! I know from personal gaming experience how satisfying it is to unleash a dungeon trap on enemies. It is not especially humane, but it is especially cathartic to get to turn a trap around on the DM and the DM’s monsters. Good on Bells Hells, quite polite and decent of them to heal up the competition, very good sportpersonship being shown by this band of adventurers.

If ya can’t beat em, burn em, it’s time for Crit Role Miniature Rollout Campaign 2 Episode 21!

Favorite Mini of the Ep

Goblin Enemy Party Member Rise of the Runelords #04 Goblin Warchanter / We Be Goblins #04 Goblin Warchanter Mini images sourced from minisgallery.com

Love me some Pathfinder goblins. So iconic. Gotta make this my pick for best mini of the ep, just look at that delightful pigskin football dome. In fact, this sculpt is so good, they used it twice. Both paint jobs are solid. But I think I prefer the bright red eyes of the original Rise of the Runelords iteration.

Least Favorite Mini of the Ep

Dragonborn Enemy Party Member Jungle of Despair #40 Serpentfolk Wizard Mini image sourced from minisgallery.com

My least favorite model of the ep simply because it perplexed me last ep. I psyched myself out. I thought I recognized it last episode, I even looked at the minisgallery.com image. Alas, I wasn’t completely sure, and I ended up listing it as “unknown”. Shoulda trusted my mini gut.

Anyway, on it’s actual merits, I like this folksy serpentfolk. Wearin’ a rustic serpent fit, complete with snaky sandals. Actually those are just scale stripes, but they sorta look like sandals. Unique, kinetic pose. Bright, pleasing paint. Furthermore, this model makes for an excellent dragonborn stand-in. And even better, a gold dragon born, not at all common. None of that orange dragonborn silliness the actual D&D branded prepaints default to. Gold star for this Pathfinder dragonborn- errr uhmm, I mean serpentfolk.

Closing Thoughts

We got a warlock mini down. Laudna, don’t die on us (again). Another mini breakage, ouch. This episode we have confirmation that the party miniatures are resin printed, which explains the resin fragility. Matt specifically stated that the PC figures are 3D printed. Wowie, what a time, we truly are living in the miniature future.

His diving line gets stuck on some rocks, regains his memory as a result. Starts to panic in the water and has to be saved by Niina

Thoughts:

Interesting and exciting concept, but disappointing execution. It would have been better if they didn't do the "dead friend is actually alive and is now the baddie" trope, and also if they had not killed off that character in ep 03. Well, at least there were some whumpy scenes.

Malevolent ep 21, “The Unconquerable” Music Timestamps

John: You Call It Madness (I Call It Love) (Russ Columbo, 1932)

Arthur: Faroes Song, Faroes Lullaby (Original pieces by Harlan Guthrie)

Reminiscent: Category for all piano pieces that are not Faroes Song or Faroes Lullaby

Ep 21, “The Unconquerable”

Addison

-2:12 “Reminiscent”

The meeting is reminiscent to the first episode. Arthur tries to play along, but he gives in and tells the Entity he knows what he is. The Entity is skeptical, but Arthur tries to explain anyway

-3:34 “Faroes Song”

It’s light, slow and airy.

Arthur explains everything to the Entity. He tries telling him that he wanted to be so much more than the Kinf, to be human. He calls him John, and the Entity is confused. He laughs, and says the game is up.

-5:39 “Reminiscent”

Arthur finds his leg is fine. He realizes Katne did it on purpose to ensure he lives. He curses at the Entity for calling him friend. He is pissed.

-6:21 “Faroes Lullaby”

Arthur talks about Lilly. How John could forget who brought him humanity, had changed him. The Entity tries to threaten Arthur. It does not work.

-7:24 “Reminiscent”

Arthur is unfazed by the Entities threats. He threatens to send the Entity back to the Dark World, saying that the Glass of Cana can send him back. This is a lie. The Entity finally complies with Arthur and tells him what he sees.

-8:04 “Reminiscent”

The Entity describes their surroundings, notably a rifle mounted on the wall.

-10:42 “Reminiscent”

Arthur jumped the gun, tried to make the Entity remember anything, to no evail. This isn’t John. “You’re just Yellow” Arthur says. Yellow tells hom to send him back, but Arthur says he can’t, because he owes his friend to try and save him. Yellow says they owe each other nothing, that he’s a prisoner trapped in Arthur’s eyes. Since Yellow remembers nothing, Arthur says he’ll send Yellow back after he hels him find Anna Stanczyk.

Arthur says he was foolish to think Yellow was anything but a monster.

Yellow says Arthur is nothing but a mortal.

-14:22 “Reminiscent”

Yellow asks what happened to Arthurs hand, and he tells him about the forest. The wood looks like dark bone. Yellow asks if it hurts, and laughs when Artur says he would like that.

-14:55 “Faroes Song”

As Arthur changes, Yellow points out he is thin. Artur says he was nearly starved to death, and Yellow says that sounds like something he’d do. Yellow asks condescendingly if Arthur really beat him, and Arthur says he’d do it again.

-17:02 “Reminiscent”

Arthur says John used to be more appreciative of “this aspect of the job.” Yellow calls him weak, but Arthur says he was the farthest thing from it. He says weakness isn’t wishing to be mortal or enjoying life, but to think power makes you more valuable. Yellow says Arthur has the power to send him back, making Arthur valuable.

17:29 “Faroes Song” begins.

Arthur says power is not making him valuable, thats Yellow needing something of him, needing a mere mortal.

Yellow calls his logic stretched. He says his power makes him valuable, not who he is or his capability. He says he only needs him because of what he can do for him.

Arthur asls if weakness is needing someone for no other reason than who they are, and Yellow answers yes.

Arthur says that’s what happened to John, and Yellow calls him weak.

Arthur asks Yellow if he wonders why John yearned for humanity, and Yellow says it was because he had no other options.

Arthur says the fact that Yellow doesn’t question himself shows how limited he is compared to John.

Arthur says John is a better person than Yellow ever could be. Yellow points out that Arthur doesn’t question his own beliefs.

-19:05 “Reminiscent”

Jack Larsons name is on the paper. Yellow says the illegible handwriting is sad and pathetic. Arthur asks if he pities him, and Yellow denies.

-22:28 “Reminiscent”

Arthur is annoyed at how hard Yellow tries to win over every argument. He calls him a petulant child being told no for the first time. Arthur says, the first time around, he was scared, and thats what Yellow wants again, so hes saying things in hoping they stick to hold over his head. He tells him to just do the smart thing and work with him, and that gods shoudln’t care about arguing with a mortal.

-24:39 “Reminiscent”

They find a lamp in the storm, still hot. The snow beside is trampled, as if fallen on and then running. The tracks lead deeper into the forest. Where they stop, blood paints the snow, as if the person was dragged.

-27:12 “Reminiscent”

They fight over the fact that Yellow hardly remembers being the King. Arthur says he chpse this life, that he was helping Yellow. Yellow says Arthur imprisoned him. Before they can argue more, wolves enter the scene.

-28:44 “Faroes Song”

Airy, slow and light.

Arthur says he may be being unreasonable and unable to see Yellows perspective. Arthur says he did what he did for their frienship, and that it was easy to take away the parts of John he hated, especially when he hurt him. Yellows representation reminds him of the pain from both John and the King, but he says he may not be being fair. He apologizes.

Yellow is confused.

Arthur says he doesn’t know what Yellow knows or if he’s truthful, but he did force him here.

-30:28 “Reminiscent”

They come across a tavern, the Red Right Hand, three dead wolves hung by their feet at the front of the building.

-36:46 “Literal Hell”

A man in the tavern hits the piano. This cannot even be classified as playing it. After a moment, he actually begins to play an eerie tune as the rest of the tavern bangs on the tables.

The song speeds up as the people of the tavern dance.

Arthur begins to laugh, and the people begin looking at him. He begins to spiral as if being poisoined. The Bartender says there is a room upstairs, bed and bath for a dollar.

Yellow tells him they can’t sleep here, but Arthur makes his way to go anyway.

-42:30 “Reminiscent”

Yellow is at a loss for words from seeing the dancing. Watching people move without reason, simply to express. Arthur asks if he likes music, and Yellow says sure. Arthur says he played music, Yellow doesn’t care. Arthur says he knows, but he can hope he will. Yellow says humans hope so much, wasting so much on it, and that is why they are weak.

Arthur says hope is what gives people strength. Hope is about having the will to press on.

44:14 “Faroes Song”

Arthur recites a poem.

It goes as is:

“Out of the night that covers me.

Black as the pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance,

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate

I am the captain of my soul.”

Yellow asks if he wrote it, and Arthur answers no, someone more human than he, did.

Yellow asks why he shared it, and Arthur answers because its beautiful, it makes him feel strong. Yellow tells Arthur to sleep off the sick feeling. As Arthur yawns, Yellow says

“This, too, shall pass.”
