1878 in Act I and II is a crossroads of choice, every voice pulling Obito every which way. The first 1878 is his conflict with remaining strong as a shinobi, every voice tells him to hold onto his empathy and care for others, even enemies, but he is pulled with the conflict that those he fights are after his comrades, and that he might have to shed himself to become a good shinobi. This is reinforced by Kakashi’s adherence to the code, as well, but also that others that seemed to have shed their humanity are efficient and powerful. Out of desire to protect his comrades, he is pulled every which way in this sense. In Act II, it plays again before he discovers Rin and Kakashi chased by Mist shinobi. He wills himself to be strong enough to protect his comrades, to reject Madara's view of the world as unsaveable. But the following events show how this conflict transforms into something new, is he doing what is truly right? Is it wrong to miss himself, that he did away with?

46 & 2 and This City Has No Empathy combo in Act II and Act III represent him donning his mask to return to Konoha to wreak havoc. Unpersoning himself and laying down his feelings and resentment bubbling towards his home, which he is disillusioned with because of all that he has learned. He thinks of how he was treated and how his Clan was treated and how the White Fang was treated, he thinks of the past history of Konoha and how it failed in its mission to keep children from dying in war. He becomes a specter of that desire to keep children from dying, he'd make himself a boogeyman and destroy everything that ever was. Not only is he disillusioned with the system, but with reality itself. Even the best intentions leave things to being spoiled, and everybody can only get what they want in only a dream.

There are, of course, more motifs utilized. I can speak more to it later :)

The beauty of autumn is so irresistible I felt like walking in the park and taking photos for hours. The wide range of colours and smells is a feast for the senses. At the beginning of November even some roses and azaleas were still blooming. And of course I've been taking photos against the light, so you can say it's my habit or signature when it comes to nature photography.

16th March 37 AD, Caligula became the third Roman Emperor.

The Romans really hoped they would have a good time after over twenty years of dour, unpopular Tiberius, and it certainly proved to be eventful.

Here is a statue of Caligula on a horse. Perhaps it is Incitatus, his favourite horse, which, despite what the most popular stories say, was not made a consul. However, Caligula did give the horse lavish stables and its own slaves to take care of him.

The tempest, the rapture, the rage

taking Gaius (Caligula) away from all of you until you actually read the source material and form your own opinion of him, rather than relying solely on what biased historians want you to think because they didn't like him themselves

[somesharkguy111]

wanted to make silly stylised designs for the triumvirate because... they're just shapes to me. weird roman losers. evil in the most pathetic ways imaginable. they're such a cartoon set. perfect for shapes and colours. i like them.

Last night, I went to see Caligula’s Horse perform in Boston. Not only was it a phenomenal show, it was an important occasion for me: it was my first time attending a concert as an out trans woman. I was nervous at first, but the atmosphere in the concert hall was so friendly and welcoming that I soon found I had nothing to worry about.

I got into prog metal because I love the music (obviously), but more than ever I’m really grateful for the community. And if you were in the audience there last night: thank you.
