(Perfect) TEN: The Art of Dancing

[egophiliac]

since Eng is getting 7.5 soon(?), I felt motivated to go back to my Meleanor rig and make her a couple of lesson animations! ...except for alchemy, because the cauldron bubbles proved too hard to photoshop around, whoops.

maybe she just got lost on her way to the classroom...?

(credit: backgrounds are from the game, I just put her on top of 'em)

(aside from the backgrounds, this is not an edit, I drew her from scratch! please do not tag or treat as an edit!)

What do you remember about that first touchdown?

I just remember scoring and doing the griddy and then Joe pushed me.

I don't even know how to word this in a way that makes sense and I think in an overall world building sense this is a major case of "Man I think it depends" but I actually don't think Spite is a "demon".

Spirits and Demons are essentially the same, yes, and I think there's much to be said about this in in parallel to a healthy person vs a deeply traumatized person, but to quote Neve, "one is more likely to manipulate you, or kill you," etc etc.

A demon is a spirit whose purpose has been twisted. And I don't think Spite's purpose has been twisted much at all.

Determination's purpose is "accomplish my goal (whatever that may be)". Spite (the emotion)'s purpose is exactly the same, with the added benefit of "especially against the wishes of others".

I think the demonic version of Determination would be "Ruthlessness", not Spite.

Spite (the guy) is not wholly consumed by his purpose like other "demons" are. He doesn't pursue his goals at the expense of his companions. He has several other interests even if they seem a little silly (learning what tastes good, or even new forms of combat like fire). And he tells us his purpose several times...it's his promise with Lucanis! Escape, kill, and live! This goal is one of determination and it has not changed by his becoming Spite. The goal is not warped in any way even with his joining to Lucanis.

Bellara speculates as to why Spite doesn't just take Lucanis over or turn him into a nasty mound of flesh. I want to argue that this is because Spite is a named spirit, not a demon.

What's more spiteful than not allowing your captors to change you? What says fuck you to people who would use you as a tool than self-determination? What's more spiteful than being determined to be free, to fight who would enslave you, to live?

My working theory is that Spite is not a demon in the same sense as, say, Wisdom being corrupted into Pride, which twists a desire to guide, teach, or navigate situations with care into a desire to be right and unchallenged.

I think Spite is to Determination as Eulogy is to Compassion.

Seulgi at the Marc Jacobs Fall 2023 Collection Launch

[respectthepetty]

It's the finale of Takara's Treasure (before a special episode!), and Blue Boy Taishin is wearing a bit of Takara's black as he falls asleep on the phone.

While Black Brooder Takara is so damn light listening to Taishin fall asleep!

Because even though Taishin is visiting his family after his color-coded adjacent mom had a little accident, Takara is realizing it feels good to miss someone.

Taishin, once again in a bit of black, is horrified his mom had an entire conversation with his boyfriend,

But his boyfriend, in dark blue, is thrilled to know his boyfriend's family is just as sweet as his boyfriend is and that they know he exists.

Because it's good to have a sweet boyfriend. It's good to miss that sweet boyfriend. It's good to want to see that sweet boyfriend the moment he comes back home. It's good to want, and it's good to admit it.

But it's even better for it to be reciprocated which is why Takara continues to lighten up.

Taishin not only wants Takara just as much, but also likes when Takara admits that he wants him.

So for the second time this week, I got another Japanese BL allowing the characters to admit that they are equally crazy about each other.

And in the end, both their hoodies could be blue or they could be black, but the point is they are exactly the same.

Just like they have always been.

Whenever Branch invites Poppy to sing and dance with Brozone he doesn't grab her hand just like that, he asks for permission first. He knows how much she wants it but he asks for consent. It's always "will you join me" not "you will join me". He really treats her like the queen she is 😭
