Alright, I'm playing catch up! Jinx and the temple of Janna.

I finally had time to sort all the thoughts I had seeing the trailer and especially the part in the ‘temple’.

(Disclaimer: I studied art history/contemporary art and stylists. I have a mind that likes to look for meaning and symbols. As a result, I may dig too deep.)

First thing, this is a ruined temple, a once holy place, a house of a god. And it is Jinx's paintings covering the wall, specifically her life and the events that made her.

It's her life story that made her something else, something more, perhaps even something to believe in. In a way, you could place her as the ‘daughter of Janna’ in this location. (The children of gods are often raised by mortals.)

There's already some talk of her being seen as some sort of spirit or symbol of Zaun, so we see the creation of jinx (but not necessarily the death of Powder) the creation of an idol. Another thing that adds weight: She's already been resurrected once.

There's also the death of the mentor/father figure. Something that often must happen to open and find the child's own path - not the way but of the one who held your hand, but your own way.

It is a lovely, tranquil, creepy setup that heralds her as a beacon, a symbol, a rebel - the (vengeful)spirit of Zaun.

I hope part of her mission becomes - all your attention on me - so you miss those moving to build, to live to thrive away from you who hold us down.

A different take or a simultaneous take is that this is a shrine and an acknowledgement of what she has been through, her memories. Even Powder gets shown here. She's not hidden or muffled away for a change.

And it's an interesting parallel with Ekko, who has the mural to remember. It's a place of remembrance, and I imagine catharsis and succour.

Is this her finding a place to safeguard and process her memories?

Maybe it will be a way to connect. It was and is a language they both know (art), I think that was part of the reason they understood each other so well as children.

Ekko is not present in the images, which are mostly Silco, Vi and Vander. But in this being a reflection of an act he's done, I'd say it may well be a setup for the next chapter.

It’s interesting that, now left to her own devices, she seems to have given her past a literal place. A place that is one both of becoming and ruin.

Anyway, in short, she's on her ‘own’ no one for her to follow or shape her and possibly let go of the weight of her memories - What choices will she make? And what freedom has she gained or lost?

Currently alternating among the four Arrowverse series (Arrow s05, The Flash s03, Legends of Tomorrow s02, Supergirl s02), Constantine, Marvel's Daredevil s03 (it's really good, can't believe they went and cancelled it), Reacher s02 (giant man), and Glee s04.

Had a blast watching Grant Gustin as both the hero in The Flash and the antagonist in Glee s03. Update: Oh, he's in Glee s04 as well. ❤️

And now the marvellous Melissa Benoist in Supergirl and Glee s04.

I can't stop listening to you moan and watching you play with yourself, you have such a pretty voice! 🤤

Well thank you, sweetheart! I always love hearing from people who appreciate my stuff!

Reblogs of your favorite audios are always appreciated so I know what to make more of! And you can also send a tip or treat my way, if you feel so inclined!

Holy shit.

If the Bells Hells campaign is on a break until the 7th November, there's a damn good chance I could actually get caught up...

Then what do I do if I don't have main campaign to binge watch??

[wisteriagoesvroom]

COMFORT SHOWS!

Rules: list 10 of your comfort shows and then tag 10 people

Tagged by @negrowhat and @belladonna-and-the-sweetpeas <3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

Roseanne: It's October so I'm already working my way through the Halloween eps, next month it'll be the usual rewatch of the Thanksgiving ones.

M*A*S*H: Destined to be a comfort show, as it's been a part of my life literally since I was born (in lieu of flowers, Dad picked up a M*A*S*H t-shirt as a gift for mom while she was recovering in hospital loooool)

Night Court: When I was little I was convinced that the show was shot in my city (Cincinnati), and refused to hear evidence to the contrary (I was equally upset when I found out that WKRP in Cincinnati was not really shot inside the Cincinnati Enquirer building)

The Monkees: It was running on Nickelodeon in the mid 80s, and it was must-see tv for my grandmother, so it was something we always watched when I came to live with her for awhile. (Grandpa and I watched Hee Haw together, just to hammer home my Hoosier upbringing XD)

Emmerdale: With Aaron returning, I've found myself rewatching the older storylines, and remembering what comfort the characters and the village have brought me over the past nearly 15 years. The show also brought me so many friends over the past decade, and that's a comfort all its own <3

Cherry Magic: It saved late 2020 and our first holiday season as a trio. Admittedly, it's been difficult on occasion to revisit due to the personal stuff, which is one of the reasons I'm so looking forward to the Thai adaptation. I'm in a much better place, and will be watching with different eyes!

2 Moons 2: I revisit whenever I need a dose of my favorite engineer (Pavel's coming back to us so soooooooon, Eboni!!!)

BTVS and Angel: I'll hop into episodes here and there when the mood strikes, always a nice bit of highschool nostalgia for me.

MST3K: Always happy to rewatch, evokes the same feelings I get whenever I put on an old Dr. Demento playlist <3

And I'll tag 10 in my recent notifs: @justsaucynotdelightful @callipigio @anidorikiladratalianna @halflostindreams @cowboymitchell @baseballmomlesbiandad @sweetorangeginger @keepersofmyheart @tonyspegasus @tm-trx (if ya fancy it)

OC Questionss

Thanks @kaylinalexanderbooks

What's something that was horrible in the moment, but in hindsight is hilarious?

Well one time s friend asked for help with something I didn't want to help with so I let them think I was helping them when really I just let them get caught. :D. - Voice

Do you often get lost in thought? Where does your mind go? How do you focus?

More often than I would like to yes. And usually running through how different people would react if they they found out I was part human. How to focus? Working on it. - Bex

Who do you worry about the most?

Agent Victory. He's on leave right now but he hasn't been the same since the card mission, but I'm not exactly close with him to ask what happened... - Silver

Getting closer to catching up on Bells Hells now, dunno what I'm gonna do with myself when I get to the point where I have to wait a week for the next episode rather than just powering through
