“Five Saints Saga”
The story follows Pietro, with no memory of his past, washes ashore where he is taken in by a group of unique individuals blessed with elemental powers and supernatural abilities. He meets James and John, the lively pranksters, Miss M, the astute debater, Cecilia, the reserved and insightful "flower," Kateri, the serious older sister, Maria, the witty illiterate, and Anna Wang, the introverted Chinese girl with limited speech. Adopted by Lorenzo and Marina, a devoted Asian couple, Pietro begins his journey with this eclectic group.
Adopted by Lorenzo and Marina, an Asian couple with strong parental instincts, Pietro embarks on a journey with The group. During a late night walk, one of the Black Seven, Elvire Sven, abducts Anna for sinister intentions. Vira Tsavf, leader of the Black Seven, harbors secret aspirations to rule over the Five Flags. Amidst their quest, the group experiences sporadic moments of "consciousness blackouts," hinting at their forgotten pasts. The prophecy foretells that the Five Saints will overthrow the Black Seven, and light shall prevail against the darkness. As the prophecy unfolds, Pietro and the others prepare to face the formidable Black Seven, all while uncovering their lost memories. In the gripping narrative, Lady Cecilia foresees the emergence of the nine new heroes who will be christened *The Five Saints*. Armed with elemental powers reflective of their individual personalities, they embark on a mission to rescue Anna Wang, dethrone the Black Seven, and establish a base of operations from which to wage a war against the forces of darkness. The question looms. Can Pietro and his companions harness the power of light to overthrow the shadow looming over their world?

i am having A Time looking through some old blogs and stuff because I found some Ye Olde Gifsets of the Sea of Monsters movie and. okay. I know it's not fair to compare a movie and a TV show. Howeverrrrr, the PJO TV show allegedly had a HUUUGE budget. Cause it's Disney. (Actually, I did the math - low estimate budget for all of s1 was $96 million USD - allegedly $12-15mil per episode, compared to SoM's $90mil total budget) So why does the Sea of Monsters movie from ten years ago over half the time look better than the show? Like. A lot better.
Like I've complained about the CGI in the show before. Quite a bit. They can't consistently scale Chiron's horse half so he's changing size/proportions in every scene, they can't properly scale the stationary trident floating above Percy's head (you can TELL the asset is elongated improperly like someone stretched it and didn't fix it), they're actively avoiding animating Percy's hydrokinesis as much as possible, and the majority of monster or general CGI scenes are as hands-off as possible.
And as an animator I get it, if you don't have to animate something don't animate it. But. if your series is ENTIRELY CENTERED AROUND A CHARACTER WHO'S BIG MAIN THING IS CONTROLLING WATER. but you REFUSE TO SHOW HIM CONTROLLING WATER AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. Then maybe you SHOULDN'T HAVE CHOSEN THAT SERIES. And I get most scenes with monster fights are difficult to CGI interaction with. CGI interaction is not easy to make look good. But also. You cannot get through the entire series without the characters physically interacting with monsters that are going to have to be CGI'd. And there are ways to do it where the avoidance of interacting with the CGI things is less noticeable, but the show very much does not do that. They did it for the minotaur fight! Everything is really dark with strategic lighting so stuff gets obscured. That one looked fine! But in like every other CGI fight Percy just. Does not touch. It very clear the show is doing very cheap CGI wherever possible and then having the nicer monsters and things that carefully do not touch moving things as much as possible. Walker sits completely stationary when Percy's turning to gold cause they had to CGI over him and it looks bad anyways. PJO TV has the budget for it to not be bad. Disney has the means. But they're not doing that. Even fully stationary CGI scenery like Olympus is clearly super lazy and is skipped over as quickly as possible and is just sad.
Anyways I'm gonna go reblog some old Sea of Monsters gifsets.
#pjo#riordanverse#pjo tv crit#those last links are just some of the gifsets for visual reference for if this ends up circulating outside of my blog's bubble#tbh for early 2010s cgi the SoM movie hasnt aged too bad#like the bull looks nice. a lot of the cgi scenery looks nice. and there are some nice scenes in the pjo tv show!#but a lot of them are just kind of. meh.#the minotaur fight? pretty cool! you know the dark lighting is just to obscure the CGI but its not distracting#lighting in the fireworks scene? VERY cool.#but then its like. the tunnel of love scene????? OLYMPUS????#i need to rewatch the movies tbh. its been ages.#actually now i really want to see like. side-by-side gifsets of movie vs s1 scenes#mostly i REALLY wanna see movie Percy's claiming versus world's saddest CGI trident#i will never not make fun of that trident im sorry

One thing I've been thinking a lot about amid the argument over the Barbie movie's lack of nominations is the aggressive level of hate it gets.
FYI, this is not about whether I think the Barbie movie deserved more nominations or not because it doesn't matter. It doesn't even matter if it was a good movie or not. It doesn't matter that it was about feminism either. What matters — and what is at the core of all the hate — is that it's a movie for women. For girls.
Anything whose target audience is young women and teenage girls is inevitably slammed with hate.
It will be called overrated. It will be called basic. It will be shit on. The comments and reviews will be FULL of people saying how stupid or terrible it is, how they've always hated it, and how anyone who watches or listens or consumes it is too.
Again, it does not matter whether x product or y performer is overrated, or not talented, or a thousand other insults people (mostly men, but anyone seeking to set themselves, even subtly, apart from people who like popular, feminine things). What matters is the alarming level to which we've normalized the hate that gets thrown at young women — and especially at teenage girls — for daring to like something popular.
Since when has popular become a bad word? Products that are marketed towards women are hugely profitable, and yet critically shamed. Remember pumpkin spice lattes? I've never seen one girl fawn over them as much as I've seen 100 grownass men spew nonsense about how silly and childish and girly a flavor is. A flavor.
It doesn't matter what Taylor Swift's most adoring fans are like, even the ones who are over the top, because no one attacks men who get too enthusiastic about their favorite sports teams or fantasy football the way people attack her fans for being excited to see her in concerts. It's because her fanbase is predominantly young girls, and anything young women are into must be shamed.
The relative anonymity — or at least, the safety — of the internet has enabled people to be harsher than they might in real life, but bullying young women and girls for their interests is not a new phenomenon.
Romance has occupied the lowest rung of the genre ladder for arguably hundreds of years. Wholly romantic movies (meaning movies in which romance is the primary drama, rather than a subplot within another genre) must be *exemplary* to get critical praise. More male-centric genres like dramas or any movie seen as "intellectual" often only have to be *good* to get the same kind of attention. This is not a dig at Oppenheimer or any of the other movies nominated (nor am I saying Barbie is a romance). The point is that romance is held to a significantly higher critical standard because it is largely not for a male audience.
(As a side note, plenty of romance is genderless the way many other genres' audiences are, but as a society we've boxed it into a 'feminine' box and decided feminine=bad. I could write a whole essay as to why.)
I am absolutely not saying Barbie deserved or didn't deserve this or that, or that Taylor Swift should never be criticized, or that romance is a perfect genre. I am not saying these examples are the most important of their kind.
What I am saying is that anything that is both popular and centered around women is always, inevitably, and extremely harshly attacked by people who do not like it, and this has the potential to be incredibly damaging to teenage girls, especially in an age where social media use starts younger and younger.
What happened to, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all? Or, let people like what they like? You don't have to like something, but you don't always have to voice your hate for it either.
#barbie#barbie movie#oscars#ryan gosling#barbie 2023#barbie oscar nominations#greta gerwig#margot robbie#taylor swift#swifties#romance#rom com#pumpkin spice#girlhood#women#seriously stop hating everything guys just chill#gothic theorist anne williams describes a line of good and a line of evil#pythagoras created a list of opposites#ie man versus woman light versus dark even versus uneven#ending in good versus evil#but because of how the lines of opposites are arranged one line goes from man to good and the other from woman to evil#you can see how this applies to products geared towards female consumption#because over time we've come to view anything associated with women as lesser - not necessarily as evil#but definitely as lesser#why are we holding women to a higher standard while simultaneously defaulting them to a lower one#let girls be girls#nothing will please everyone but isn't it easier not to hate so much?

There he is! Most punchable man in the universe!
Just, like. Immediately ruining everything. Like he does everywhere.
Now with terrible smoke!
I like how this brings back some of the imagery they introduced in Outo, with those evil smoke monsters laying the visual foundation for the kind of things going on here for us a thousand years later.
Oh! And Water-chan is actually actively defending Sakura here! That’s incredible!
Much more than your average Reservoir!
#Ooooh and the contrasting visuals!#The black substance versus the white substance!#It’s incredible they really went all out here#And HAMMERS home the yin yang imagery#Dark fighting the light instead of accepting the balance#Liveblogging the reservoir chronicle#Tsubasa#Vol 195#Sakura#Which Sakura?#A Sakura#Lava Lamp Guy#Evil Wolverine#Hello I’m just realising Evil Wolverine’s symbol#Is so visually similar to a yin yang symbol that’s just been distorted#Where the careful balance is completely gone#And his monocle gives him an asymmetrical appearance as well#It all comes together!

Coming in with another chart because my neurodivergency demands it! This time I wanna touch on writing with "Tone versus Age Demographic"
The difference between the two is this.
Tone is the degree in what themes and mood your piece conveys. Whereas darker tones of drama, tragedy, and horror make a story heavier, comedy and romance can make it more light. While action and mystery can vary depending on how it is handled in the piece.
Age Demographic is what age group your target audience is and what degree of the following can occur or be implied. Drugs, Cursing, Sex, Violence. This usually influences how media is rated (G, PG, PG-13, PG-17, M)
Here is an example of a few stories on where they can lie on the chart.
For stories in the gray area of tone, they vary between comedic and dramatic moments. The overall mood tends to be adventurous, but does not have to be. Usually there is character growth over the course of the story, but not always.
Stories that are lighter in tone are more comedic, feel good, and generally have a 'lesson' the characters learn. Sometimes there is a status quo the show gets back to by the end of the episode, but not always the case.
Darker toned stories go into more dramatic and philosophical inquiries that can go into topics not usually discussed. Endings tend to be mixed from tragic, to melancholy, to bitter sweet. Nothing is certain as far as the ending goes.
For demographic, the General Audience or all audiences is intended for family viewing. Usually a lighter tone is good for a younger audience to avoid emotional trauma. But for PG stories with parental guidance, it's good to get topics of conversation going and to get them introduced to tougher subject matters, like death and confrontation.
PG-7 are usually for audiences seven and up. Here we get a bit more variety between drama, adventure action, and comedy. Violence in these pieces usually have to be martial arts and/or fantastical (ex magic), guns, shattered glass, and knives are usually prohibited. There's no cursing. Certain subject matters can be IMPLIED (usually with drugs being replaced with potions and chemical formulas. And sex being implied through innuendo).
Teen demographic goes more into cursing (ex, damn, hell, and crap), sexual content being implied more or talked about, censored nudity, talk of drug use, and more graphic violence with blood being seen. Anime/manga has more content teen and up as well that does not have to touch on comedy.
Adult media (18+, M, R ratings), are much more explicit with the above subject matters. There's more graphic sex/nudity on screen. Explicit drug use. More adult cursing (s***, f***, c**) as well as sexual talk. The violence is much more graphic with blood, intestines, bone, mutilation and so on.
And stories don't always stay in one place. There are plenty of examples of a story growing up with it's audience and changing tone as the plot develops. Overall this is to show that not every kid's show is a silly comedy, they can be dark and dramatic. And not every adult show is serious and brooding, they can be comforting and comedic.
For my comic Legend Catcher, it's a Action Dramedy (Gray in Tone) that's rated 18+ for an adult audience for:
Explicit Language
Nudity
Graphic Violence
Drug Use
I know who my audience is and is NOT for (not intended for young audiences), and they know how it will make them feel.
So when writing, it's good to think about who you want your audience to be. What themes you want to touch on. And how much you feel safe to include without getting into trouble.

honestly, episodes like this that are so stellar in almost every way just make it all the more frustrating when bones fucks up so bad other times. Like the quality of season 4 has probably been the most consistently good the anime has been since season 2, and yet the entire series still on average just reeks of tonal issues, pacing issues, wonky expressions that don’t do Harukawa’s art justice, cutting of crucial scenes or internal dialogue, and straight-up just completely missing the point and nuances of so many moments in the manga/light novels.
BSD has always been dark and gritty to an extent, but the anime has always been too “fluffy” (for lack of a better word, or I guess shounen-y) to truly understand and capture that, and it’s so frustrating when episodes like this one and Mushitarou’s episodes clearly DID have a lot of love and understanding and attention to detail put into them. Even the Dark Era episodes, which is my favorite and what I consider to be the best story content in the entire franchise, are imo honestly outclassed by the aforementioned episodes purely in terms of adaptation. But then episode 6 this season was incredibly rushed, and Dazai’s arrest scene completely butchered (and Nikolai’s bird speech, to an extent). Atsushi hallucinating Dazai in episode 8 was mediocre as well. Kunikida always has his core character moments shafted. Dazai is never allowed to be vulnerable or “uncool”. Season 3 had “Portrait of a Father” aka arguably one of the most important and most powerful chapters in the entire manga up there with Yosano’s backstory chapters, and yet it’s absolutely the most pathetic, hollow shell of an “adaptation” I’ve ever seen in my life and yes I WILL forever be salty about it.
But then they pull an episode like this out of their asses, where they actually tried. It’s so frustrating. </3
#bsd deserves so much better and i will always lament what we could have had#i fully believe that the anime is to blame for why so many people don't really take it seriously/understand its true depth#......i mean a lot of manga readers don't either lol but#the anime is a lot of peoples' first impressions of bsd and it just makes them go 'yeah its okay i guess'#but this season it feels like for the first time in a long time it feels like bones actually gives a fuck#and yet there's still so many 'bonesisms' throughout that remind you that this is still bones lmao#i kinda just think that since these chapters are so dark and heavy they really COULDN'T get away with making light of it/misinterpreting it#like they could with other much more subtle but still powerful and nuanced moments#it's all really in your face here so they had to do it well or it just would have all been completely godawful#versus other scenes they fuck up in other episodes only a manga reader would take issue with them lmao#anyway put me on the timeline where mappa adapts bsd as grittily as it does aot 👍

In the land of magic, where sorcery reigned supreme, there lived a powerful sorcerer named Eldric and his apprentice, Aria. They ruled with grace and wisdom, but their lives were forever changed when they discovered an ancient artifact, a gem that amplified their powers beyond imagination. As Eldric's abilities grew, so too did his thirst for power, leading him to transform into a creature of darkness. Aria, filled with horror and despair, had no choice but to confront her master in the ultimate battle of good versus evil. And so, in the midst of a stormy night, the apprentice fought with all her might against the sorcerer she once called friend. The outcome was uncertain, as the balance between light and darkness hung precariously. This is the summary of your work so far: You were given a task to create a Fantasy poem based on a character experiencing a life-changing event or transformation.

Fuck it.
Hebert has a Handgun: everywhere Taylor looks, she sees guns and munitions. Sometimes they are in incredibly inconvenient places. At least one time she finds a gun, it is in her backpack. At school. Where Madison can see if her gaze falls just so.
But that's not important.
What's important is how unimportant Taylor is in spite of this. The guns are a side note in her life. She is so very small in the end. She is just a speck of dust is the great cosmos of the universe. The night sky is beautiful beyond the words she loves with her mother.
Brockton Bay is bright. Boston is brighter still even in the distance. The stars? The galaxy? The universe as seen from a rooftop? It shines clearly in spite of all the reasons that would obscure it.
Clearly, Taylor is parahuman. Or she is under the effect of a parahuman power. Her vision remains sharp with or without her glasses. (She can wear sunglasses at night with no issues at all.) But what sort of cape just sees clearly? Try as she might, sharp vision is nothing so special as to challenge any of the problems in Brockton Bay.
But that is no reason not to try.
A gun on school grounds cannot stop her. It is nothing a tattoo cannot fix. It may be a pain to explain the tramp stamp, but at least it is not grounds for immediate expulsion and criminal record. Or getting gunned down by cops.
#chatter#worm#prompt#?#it's more an outline#shit what was my tag for my card carrying monsterfucker librarian? she was the original marksman branded glasses girl#one thing i don't mention above is that grue's smoke is also not fully effective#she can flashlight her way through it with some difficulty sepending on the strength of the light in question#also the tramp stamp is not permanent or fixed#it is just incredibly inconvenient like the gun#she has a few possible cape names#stargazer is the first based on her taking night walks and stargazing and calling in tips to the police#after that it's a mess#ideas vary#it would be a prt placeholder or taylor special or maybe a lisa insistence#tattoo would reflect her most obvious power#guns and related accessories can become tattoos on her body which she can later retrieve#missed mark could be be an insulting name and a riff on her initial lack of shooting skill#she doesn't get particularly good at it either#but mainly i thought it would be a play off of miss militia and a sort of dark mirror deal#the protectorate's noble hero versus the undersiders' half cocked villain#oh something i don't touch on at all is that her shots are weirdly effective#it doesn't come up often or stand out because she doesn't shoot much and hits even less but uh brutes beware#shit did i post any of this already?

"Eversham's Hero: The Battle Against Darkness" This is the summary of your work so far: In the peaceful town of Eversham, Uncle Mortimer's arrival brings an eerie silence as he intends to awaken an ancient spirit with sinister intentions. Alex, a young apprentice blacksmith, overhears the plan and learns from the wise old blacksmith that light can fight darkness. Confronting Uncle Mortimer at a secret meeting, Alex reveals that he knows his plans and refuses to let him harm their town. With a radiant sword, forged with the knowledge that light can vanquish darkness, Alex leads the townspeople in a climactic battle against the dark spirit and Uncle Mortimer. Alex's bravery and wisdom save Eversham, and he becomes a symbol of hope, with his legacy reminding generations of the power of light against evil.
Alex had always been fascinated by the tales of his family's storied past, but he never expected that those tales would become reality. One fateful day, a mysterious letter arrived, announcing the return of a long-lost family member, Uncle Mortimer. The entire town buzzed with excitement and anticipation, but Alex couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. When Uncle Mortimer finally arrived, he seemed to bring an air of darkness with him. He spent his days locked away in his room, muttering strange phrases under his breath. It wasn't long before rumors began to spread about Uncle Mortimer's true intentions. Some said he sought the family's ancient treasure, while others claimed he was after a powerful artifact hidden within the castle walls. Alex decided to investigate further. He quietly followed Uncle Mortimer one evening and discovered him in the library, studying an old, dusty book. "What are you looking for?" Alex asked nervously, his voice barely above a whisper. Uncle Mortimer looked up from the book and smiled, his eyes glinting with malice. "Ah, Alex. I see you've finally decided to join me." He gestured to the open book before him, revealing a page filled with arcane symbols and dark incantations. "This is the key to unlocking immense power, and it belongs to our family." Alex felt a surge of anger and determination. "I won't let you use this for evil!" he declared, his voice growing stronger as he stood his ground. Uncle Mortimer laughed wickedly. "You may think you can stop me, but you're only delaying the inevitable. Soon, I will possess the power to rule over all." With that, he vanished into thin air, leaving Alex to contemplate his next move in this epic adventure. In the quaint little town of Eversham, life was peaceful and predictable. The residents were content with their daily routines, and the occasional visitors brought excitement and curiosity. However, this all changed when Uncle Mortimer arrived on the scene, casting a dark shadow over the town's tranquility. Uncle Mortimer was an enigmatic figure, his past shrouded in mystery. His arrival was met with whispers and speculation, as the townsfolk tried to piece together his true identity. Alex, a young adventurer with a thirst for knowledge and a penchant for unraveling mysteries, took it upon himself to delve deeper into Uncle Mortimer's origins. One evening, while eavesdropping on an intimate conversation between Uncle Mortimer and the local blacksmith, Alex overheard a chilling revelation. "You must be careful, Alex," warned Uncle Mortimer, his voice laced with malice. "I have my reasons for being here, and they are far more sinister than you can possibly imagine." This exchange was all the confirmation Alex needed to set his investigative gears in motion. He knew he had to stop Uncle Mortimer before it was too late. But as he ventured deeper into the heart of darkness that seemed to surround the enigmatic visitor, he discovered that not everything was as it appeared. Uncle Mortimer, it turned out, was not a true relative at all. Instead, he was an ancient spirit bound to the earthly plane, his malevolent intentions driven by centuries-old grudges and a desire for revenge. As Alex confronted Uncle Mortimer in the heart of Eversham's ancient forest, he found himself caught in a whirlwind of dark magic and supernatural forces. But with courage and determination, Alex managed to harness the power of light and love within himself, banishing Uncle Mortimer back to his eternal slumber. The town of Eversham was once again at peace, and its residents marveled at the young adventurer's bravery and resourcefulness. In the quiet town of Eversham, life was peaceful and idyllic until the day Uncle Mortimer arrived. His presence cast a dark shadow over the once-tranquil community. Alex, a young adventurer with a thirst for mystery, sensed something amiss with this newcomer. One evening, while eavesdropping on conversations at the local tavern (a skill he'd honed during his travels), Alex overheard a chilling discussion between Uncle Mortimer and the town blacksmith. It became clear that the mysterious stranger was not who he claimed to be. "You must remember, dear nephew, that our family has always been bound by duty and responsibility," Mortimer whispered menacingly to the blacksmith. "But now, it's time for us to reclaim what is rightfully ours." Filled with curiosity and concern, Alex approached Uncle Mortimer and confronted him about his conversation with the blacksmith. But as they spoke, Alex discovered that this uncle was no ordinary man – he was an ancient spirit bound to the earthly plane, driven by centuries-old grudges and a burning desire for revenge. Determined to protect his town and thwart Mortimer's evil intentions, Alex sought out the wisdom of the town elders. They taught him how to harness the power of light and love within himself, an energy that could banish dark spirits like Uncle Mortimer back to their eternal slumber. Armed with newfound knowledge and courage, Alex confronted Mortimer once more, their battle raging through the moonlit streets of Eversham. With a final burst of light and love, Alex sent Mortimer fleeing back to his dark dimension, saving his town from impending doom. The people of Eversham celebrated their young hero, marveling at his bravery and resourcefulness. And so, peace returned to the once-again serene town of Eversham. In the quiet town of Eversham, life was peaceful and idyllic for young Alex. He lived with his family in a cozy little cottage at the edge of the forest, and spent his days exploring the woods, fishing by the river, or helping out on his grandfather's farm. The local villagers knew and loved Alex for his kind heart and adventurous spirit, always eager to lend a hand or share a story around the fire. One day, an unexpected visitor arrived in Eversham: Uncle Mortimer, a long-lost relative of Alex's family. His appearance cast a dark shadow over the once peaceful town, as whispers of his mysterious past began to spread like wildfire. Intrigued and concerned, Alex decided to investigate, seeking answers about this enigmatic stranger. While wandering through the village one day, Alex overheard a conversation between Uncle Mortimer and the local blacksmith. They discussed plans that were far from innocent, betraying a sinister intent. Filled with both curiosity and alarm, Alex decided to confront Uncle Mortimer, hoping to learn more about his intentions. To his surprise, when Alex approached him, Uncle Mortimer revealed himself as an ancient spirit bound to the earthly plane, driven by centuries-old grudges and a thirst for revenge. The town of Eversham was not his final target; it was merely a stepping stone in his long-standing feud with Alex's family. Determined to protect his loved ones and his home, Alex harnessed the power of light and love within himself, facing off against Uncle Mortimer in a battle between darkness and hope. In the end, his courage and resourcefulness prevailed, banishing Uncle Mortimer back to his eternal slumber and restoring peace to Eversham. The townspeople marveled at Alex's bravery and cunning, celebrating him as their guardian angel. Though life in Eversham returned to its tranquil rhythm, Alex knew that his adventures had only just begun. Confronting Uncle Mortimer, Alex discovered that he was an ancient spirit bound to the earthly plane with malevolent intentions driven by centuries-old grudges and revenge. With courage and determination, Alex harnessed the power of light and love within himself, banishing Uncle Mortimer back to his eternal slumber. ``` The town of Eversham once again enjoyed peace and tranquility, marveling at the young adventurer's bravery and resourcefulness. In the quiet and peaceful town of Eversham, life was simple and joyful for all its inhabitants. Young Alex, an adventurous spirit with dreams of exploring the world beyond their quaint village, spent his days wandering through the lush forests, discovering hidden trails, and sharing tales of far-off lands with anyone who would listen. One day, a letter arrived at Alex's doorstep. It was addressed to him and contained an invitation from a distant cousin, Uncle Mortimer, who wished for Alex to visit his grand estate. The letter spoke of grand adventures and great riches waiting to be uncovered. Eager to embark on this new journey, Alex set out for the mysterious manor.

The first trailer for 7 Days Before Valentine was difficult for me to follow, but this second one:
Has light vs. dark color coding
Which makes this scene hurt a little
A strategic use of red
Like super strategic (and mirrors)
Tattoos
And angels and demons
Who loves visual representations of heaven and hell? ME!
Interest Piqued
#7 days before valentine#the colors mean things#color coded angels and demons in love#it's more common than you think#this is the year of the light versus dark dynamic#sign me up!
