#The Butterfly

[polliwoggers]

wanted to try drawing spider lilies and considering the symbolism it felt only natural to throw the ol’ soul parasite in there

[pinksugarbell]

Literally can’t rest until I own this. My dad and I used to repeat the Butterfly’s lines to each other all the time

I need to hug this guy & smooch his fuzzy little face & ask him if he knows my name

& he’ll say “excellent well you’re a fishmonger” or “your name is a golden bell hung in my heart” etc etc

1913 Léon Bakst, The Butterfly, Costume design for Anna Pavlova.

was thinking about that one blind professor post earlier today and how well it applied to the aptly named Team Dark

(really 'Team Dark' just sounds a lot cooler than 'Team Saves-On-Electricity')

Delicate as a forgotten dream, moves between worlds, though it belongs to neither. Its wings brush against the air as if drawing unseen patterns, each motion the stroke of an artist whose hand trembles at the magnitude of creation. It is not aware of the pearl, buried in the ocean depths, nor the shark that circles endlessly, yet it is bound to both. In its short, fleeting life, the butterfly is both an illusion and a truth—a being whose existence shifts with each movement, but whose dance is part of a cosmic design. It carries with it the weight of the pearl’s meaning and the shark’s silent quest, though it bears no burden. The butterfly’s journey is brief, and yet, in its flight, the beginning and end touch—a momentary connection between the eternal and the ephemeral.
