Don't you just love when a character is barely a person? When they're just a big lie dressed in some silly clothes? Like, who are you? What do you mean you have no idea? And yes I absolutely would love to find out.

homura akemi & birds: black swans, crows, & ravens (analysis)

i feel like i've noticed that homura has some interesting similarities/coincidences (?) w birds, specifically crows, ravens, and black swans. and since i haven't seen anyone rly mention it yet, i decided i might as well and have a crack at it :)

i hope you enjoy !!

- black swans.

now, the easiest comparison u can make first is the fact that homura's entire devil outfit seems to be made entirely out of dark feathers, or at least replicating the appearance of them. she even has wings made of black feathers and bone (i had no idea the white part was bone, deadass thought that was just for aesthetic purposes only. isn't that cool and morbid as hell???) as well.

i feel like this is a very obvious reference to the black swan from swan lake, aka odile, often presented as odette's (the white swan, aka madoka/ultimate madoka in this scenario) double or opposite, causing them to create yin and yang together.

(an image of the black swan, aka odile, and the white swan, aka odette, from the 2010 "black swan" movie)

homura believes herself to be the devil, the very embodiment of all that is evil, wicked, unlovable, etc. bc of her very black-and-white mindset caused by repeated trauma; this makes her the opposite of madoka in her eyes, who embodies hope, love, selfishness, etc.

just as odette's outfit is pure white, so is ultimate madoka's attire.

on top of that, when i did some research on black swans, and there is apparently a metaphor called the "black swan theory" that characterizes an event that has a huge outcome, occurs as a surprise, and often used incorrectly when someone wants to or tries to rationalize/make sense of their actions after they know the outcome of them.

in a more broad sense, it can be used to highlight or represent how we have the tendency to underestimate or overlook the possibility of events that are unpredictable and rare.

sounds exactly like devil homura, doesn't it? her taking the power of the law of cycles (or at least part of it) was a huge shock to everyone, including the audience, and the way she tries to (incorrectly) rationalize her actions by proclaiming herself the devil and all that is evil and cruel after she has done it, when that clearly isn’t true.

the term itself comes from the idea that people thought that all swans were white, so when black swans were discovered, it challenged their beliefs.

kinda like how homura believes herself to be/calls herself the devil, even though she is technically a goddess, like ultimate madoka is. referring to/seeing herself as a goddess in any capacity would surely challenge her black-and-white mindset, bc how could she be anything like madoka when she's oh-so-terrible and madoka is anything but?

- crows.

in different cultures, crows symbolically represent transformation, death and the afterlife, fortune telling and the prophecy (such as warnings and good omens), intelligence. even more so, seeing a crow in your dream is apparently a sign of change that is coming into your life.

without saying much else, you can probably see the similarities to homura very easily. not only did she transform into a supposed "devil", but she also had a transformation when she went from moemura, aka her glasses and braids self, to the more cold, closed-off persona and demeanor she portrays.

homura is clearly very intelligent, and she served as the embodiment of a warning and a good omen since her introduction, albeit quite ominously and cryptically. her constant warnings and protection towards madoka and her telling madoka the truth about who she is and what her goals are in ep. 10 are both parts of what directly allows madoka to make the ultimate wish and sacrifice she made in ep. 12 to begin with, besides the fact that she was directly affecting madoka's karmic destiny.

not to mention, madoka had a dream about homura the night before she transferred to her class, and her life promptly changed tremendously right after that.

when the research about crows i researched mentioned death and the afterlife, i instantly thought of homulily's design.

- ravems.

ravens basically say the same thing !! but unlike crows, the research.i found mentions that ravens have symbolic connections to the spiritual and moral world, and be able to move across them as messengers.

ironically enough, homura's clara dolls, which represent the way she sees herself, call themselves the "troupe of the mortal world"... very interesting.

even more so... doesn't homura's hair kind of look like dark bird wings because of how they're parted due to her constantly wearing braids before moving them, especially when it blows in the wind? (i sadly don't have any gifs of that but hopefully, you know what i'm talking abt lol)

look at how even more bird-like and dramatic it becomes when she's devil homura.

before

and after

anyways, that's my analysis !! hope u guys enjoyed and thanks for reading :)

Patho headcanons? The non-sad realistic ones?

oof kinda hard to combine realistic and non-sad when it comes to pathologic but i'll do my best beloved! here are some for our main three:

my realistic and 'canon' interpretation for post canon daniil is that he kills himself uuh lol but if i am to indulge in some happy-ending hcs i would say he returns to the capital briefly to settle his business there and gather his remaining belongings only to return to the town soon afterwards. he realizes that there's nothing left for him in the capital but at least in the town he has a few people he can call his friends and he can still make somewhat of a difference by filling the spot of the town doctor. he's not necessarily happy about it but from a logical standpoint it seems like the best option for him. before he returns he makes sure to stock up on gifts for everyone and candies and toys for children.

artemy loves tea and has an entire drawer filled to the brim with different kinds. he's completely mastered how to brew each type to perfection + what condiments (milk, honey, cinammon etc) work best. if you ever set foot inside his home you best believe he's offering you a cup. if you can't decide on which flavour you'd prefer, don't worry- he knows just what you'd like (and he never misses)

i think clara develops an interest for knitting after the events of the game (when hopefully she'll find a loving family to take her in or perhaps manage to sustain herself on her own like sticky and murky do) and she loves making garments for herself and her loved ones. i think she's very artsy and crafty and loves making use of random materials to express herself through clothing (like how she wears a bandage as a sock in p2) (side note- for those of you interested in fashion check @ laaravo on instagram. she doesn't look a lot like clara's portrait but i think she looks just like her in-game model)

- Sadie N' Jamie: Order Up! -

I'm plan to do more posts like this where it's just random fit checks for my characters. Today, we have Sadie and Jamie dressing up in a diner outfit taken from Doctor Who. Featuring Clara Oswald.

Because Jamie is more of a pants kind of girl. I decided to give her pants instead of a skirt. I like Clara Oswald/ Jenna Coleman's costumes a lot. This diner waitress outfit is really cute~

I took some creative liberties with how the girls would wear it. Sadie is just borrowing Clara's pose and Jamie ties up a ponytail. I'm going to do more of this coloured lineart for the nose and hair.

I'm also gonna test out more shades because I think that is still my weakness. You'll see more of the girls in unique outfits in the future. Those girl accounts where they dress up in various OOTDs (outfit of the day) is very helpful!

You're so right about Steven Moffat. Favorite Doctor Who era, for sure!

Thank you, it is something I completely stand by! Glad to speak for others! This fuckass website just doesn’t get it sometimes.

My brain for no reason: Crowley and Clara Rockstar au. Where Crowely is in a band with some of the other staff. Like Divus, Sam and Vargas are in the band. Trein is the manager. Maybe a younger Ambrose in there is well, just because.

Clara gets dragged out to a concert by her friends, Lilia and Asha, and ends up running into one of the band members Crowley. Only to keep running him at events and even out in public.

All the main twst cast are still around, just kids. Like Yuu/Isabelle is Crewels daughter that is often seen at events and photoshoots. Asha is dating Falena who has custody of his younger brother. Lilia is a single dad to his son Silver. Etc. And they are all watching it unfold.

Lilia and Asha absolutely encouraging Clara to hook up with the celebrity. Who Clara finds infuriating. Because Dire is obnoxious and she does not need the attention seeing a celebrity will bring her. But they keep getting thrown together one way or another.

So basically this new au I’m making on the spot is on this

And trust me. This hurts more.

This is an au where Levan manifested Crowley to find a spell to free him. But he didn’t expect the outcome he indirectly harmed a bunch of innocent people and never expected to harm each of them. And he will take the full responsibility of his mess by himself.

And no this man will not take care of himself. He will suffer on their pain

Also fuck tumblr for ruining the quality of the texts

[theodosiani]

Fun fact, I briefly considered naming Cosima Caterina with the implication that she was, in fact, named for Caterina Dellamorte before I decided that she was snatched off the street and not born into the crows.

[sleeps-au-bag]

crow has nicknames he calls the kids we see in the main story that are playable.

clara - calls her "ojou-sama"

hook - calls her pitch dark hook the great to her face, calls her "koneko" in private

bailu - calls her "lady"

yanqing - calls him "shizi"

huohuo - calls her "gui" or "jingshen"

she often calls them by their nicknames in private so they don't find out but they always do.
