Compiling Metaphor Refantazio humans and their Hieronymus Bosch inspirations

Enemy spoilers up through 7/17 on the in-game calendar

far from complete, since I'm nowhere near done with the game yet, but these are all the funny little guys I've managed to find the inspirations for! I've put the enemy's names and the names of the Bosch paintings in the alt text for each image.

I highly recommend checking out Bosch's paintings, for these guys and the many other fantastical and macabre creatures in his works. it's kind of like a game of I-spy, lol

enemies I was NOT able to find a 1-to-1 inspiration for under the cut. if anyone out there HAS spotted a better match for these ones, feel free to add on!

so I couldn't find a good match for the big terrible baby, unfortunately. best I can say is that Bosch tends to paint a lot of creatures that are just a human head on legs.

same goes for the giant sandworm; I couldn't find anything even remotely similar even after scouring through every Bosch painting (and some sketches!) I could find. it feels inspired by The Garden of Earthly Delights, but I didn't see anything that really resembled this thing.

but again, if anyone knows of a better match for either of these, I'd love to see it!

no but like. the one piece universe would be 10000x funnier if ace didn't die.

imagine you're a decently known pirate in the grand line and now you are trying to make yourself a name in the turbulent seas. you try to take over some stretch of the sea and wreck havoc and BOOM your ships are burning your subordinates are screaming and why is there a cowboy crouched on your ship mast????

("CAPTAIN APPARENTLY THIS IS WHITEBEARD'S TERRITORY-"

"YOU SAID THE SAME THING TWO DAYS AGO"

"I THINK EVERYTHING HERE IS WHITEBEARD'S TERRITORY"

"FUCK.")

but it's fine. it's whatever. you make a narrow escape with one ship and half of your crew and start rebuilding your reputation. years pass. you have now taken over a small, peaceful island in the middle of fucking nowhere. everything is awesome.

and then suddenly a teenager wearing flip flops and jorts comes to your throne room and claims he is going to kick your ass. why? because some little girl gave him food and you made her cry by making her parents sad. he claims he will kick your ass not for the multiple counts of murder, assault, human trafficking or your favourite hobby, slavery. no, he says he will beat you up because you made some little girl sad. he seems very confident that he and his silly little crew will defeat your whole evil army. with what, you laugh, the power of friendship?

he then proceeds to beat the shit out of you and your minions with the power of friendship. and an insane amount of violence and bloodlust.

somehow, you manage to escape the island. one plus point to this whole thing is that this island was basically unknown so no one knows of your colossal fuck up. you move on. two years pass. you get stronger and are careful with the people you go against. eventually you start working for the government and provide them with information on the underground world and the whole pirate business. it's a good, easy life. you can wreck havoc under the protection of government. nothing can go awry now, right? wrong.

some motherfucker with a goddamn PIPE and a TOPHAT beats you up (you wonder if it's a big joke the universe is playing on you. fucking humiliating to get defeated only by brats that wear the most ridiculous hats in existence). for some reason the chief of revolutionary army thinks you are annoying and wants to kill you. he calls his move dragon claw (what the fuck is up with his hands??? arthritis???) and you watch him bring his hand down and your base fuckinh crumbles. he crushes the skulls of your lackeys. he is laughing all the while. oh my god he is insane.

you have always been lucky so against all odds, you escape. you're smarter about your comeback this time. you have realised you can't survive the new world on your own and ally with some bigshot emperor and have successfully convinced them to kill the strawhat kid, because BOY was that brat fucking annoying. JORTS??? FLIPFLOPS??? GUM GUM NO UFO???? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING???

you are smart about getting him too. the kid is strong but he is dumb so somehow, you manage to catch him with some meat (did no one teach him about stranger danger??), some sea stone cuffs and shove him in a basement of seawater. it's going GREAT. a day passes. suddenly everything is on fire and your base is crumbling and your people are screaming and you only have time to think oh no before the other two hat bastards come in.

("you hurt our little brother. prepare to die."

"im sorry your WHAT")

but they don't get to do anything because apparently their little brother is a god??? he's still wearing flipflops??? oh you're dead. you're so fucking dead.

FRANCESCA & VIOLET BRIDGERTON

“I couldn’t imagine it, either,” Violet cut in. “Yet it happened. I thought I should die of the pain.” Daphne swallowed. “But I didn’t. And you wouldn’t. And the truth is, eventually it does become easier. And you think that perhaps you could find happiness with someone else.” “Francesca did,” Daphne murmured. “Yes, she did.” Violet closed her eyes for a moment, recalling how terribly worried she’d been for her third daughter during those years of her widowhood. She’d been so terribly alone, not shunning her family precisely, but not truly reaching out to them, either. And unlike Violet, she’d had no children to help her find her strength again. “She is proof that one can be happy twice,” Violet said, “with two different loves. But, you know, she’s not the same kind of happy with Michael as she was with John. I would not value one higher than the other; it’s not the sort of thing one can measure. But it’s different.” —Violet in Bloom: Novella

Sskk reunion sskk reunion but seriously sskk reunion. They've been separated so long. Last time they met, Akutagawa died to allow Atsushi to survive. And then all the airport mess, and Akutagawa subjugating Jouno, and Atsushi being trapped by Teruko; and then they meet again, but it's not really them, Akutagawa is a vampire, he doesn't recognize Atsushi. They are in the same place, but they're not reunited. Then, Fukuchi dies, Dostoyevsky gets reincarnated in Bram, the airport is turned to rubble; Akutagawa is finally back, but he's still not here. Atsushi is still unrecognizable for Akutagawa. They're still separated. He fights Ame-no-Gozen, he loses, and Atsushi dies for him in turn. He dies for him, because Akutagawa's life is worth dying for even if he doesn't remember him. He dies for him, and Akutagawa gets his memories back, but it's a split second too late, Atsushi is gone already. They're torn apart again.

And it's softly excruciating? Two men being so intertwined and complementary, who only make sense as halves of a same whole, who can only know themselves when they are together, being violently taken apart for so long. Always on the verge of meeting, but unable to touch each other. It must be agonizing, unbearable.

Until Atsushi gets out of the fourth dimension. And he's immediately attacked by Ame-no-Gozen, and Akutagawa saves him. And Atsushi knew that Akutagawa was there, but he doesn't know– he doesn't know that Akutagawa is truly back this time. He tells him “Just the two of us?”, and doesn't know what to expect, doesn't know what he's allowed to hope for. And it's only when Akutagawa delivers the only right answer there is to it, that Atsushi gets it: he's back. They're back. And he smiles!!!!!!! And he knows nothing else matters!!!!!!! They can face everything together!!!!!!! They faced death twice and they're still there fighting side by side. Isn't!! That!! Insane!!!!!!!!!!

there are a lot of Nick and Jess moments that deserve to be talked about of course, but i think one that doesn't get talked about enough is in LITERALLY THE SECOND EPISODE when they're confronting Jess's ex Spencer and they're all wearing those dorky hats and Jess is monologuing and she says "and I love these guys" and the camera, for half a second, cuts to Nick, who glances at Jess and swallows. this is a Mr. Darcy hand flex moment to me.

They are so in sync…they move as one… they ARE one… Just like Claudia said : "You spend an hour alone with him and you're breathing in sync together"
