So

The symbolism in TAOS is Evanna as the Sun and Chiara as the moon. Their depictions show it like that as well, with Chiara having a black-and-white type of colour pallette (hair and body) and Evanna having warmer tones. So could it be that Akita has Earth symbolism? The Earthy skintone and blue eyes represent land and sea ig, and the earlier parts of the story could be a solar eclipse with Chiara preventing Evanna from litening to Akita, and the later half is a lunar eclipse with Akita overahadowing Chiara.

I think that's interesting. Also another thing I noticed is the personality and how they celesrial bodies. Evanna is warm but fly too close and she's destrictive as well (though accidentally in TWTSTW) and Chiara is like the 'pale moon light that illuminates, but does not warm' (in the words of Moon Knight heheh). Akita represents how Earth is represented by the will to live, of not just humans but everything that has life.

Really fricken cool i love taos so much<3

Whoa, this is so cool and it made me so happy to see this!

I don't think I was consciously thinking of Akita as having Earth symbolism, but honestly I love that interpretation, and it makes total sense! Because ultimately, the key idea with Akita is that she represents humanity and human civilization at its best—and so she's very connected to Earth and its people, as opposed to Evanna and Chiara who metaphorically distance themselves, like how the sun and moon are farther from Earth!

And if we consider that aspect of it, it's noteworthy how the moon is much closer to Earth than the sun is, which nicely underscores how Evanna actually detaches more naturally than Chiara does—after all, Chiara was only able to become this detached after decades of traumatizing isolation, but she got Evanna to become a callous conqueror in mere months. Though I won't claim to have planned that, just like I can't claim to have planned the Earth symbolism for Akita.

Honestly, you've given me a lot to think about here; I really like your way of looking at the story! Thank you so much for reading and for sharing your thoughts—and I'll definitely keep these ideas in mind when working on the comic adaptation ❤️‍���

For anyone seeing this post and wondering what in the heck I'm talking about, The Ascension of Evanna Schwarzschild (TAOES) is a story I've written about lesbian giants with laser powers! If you check it out, I'd love to hear your thoughts :D
