love the symbolism of haymitch's outfit in the parade scene. he loses his "cheesy imitation coal miner hat in the accident and, rid of the headgear, our outfits become merely neutral, black and forgettable." (SOTR, 79).
he's wearing the uniform of his district, a coal miner, someone sent to the deepest parts of the earth day after day, working for scrip, not even real money, facing the highest, "most brutal" person in panem with a dead girl in his arms forcing him to confront that he did this.
how he's not haymitch- rather he's every coal miner in district 12, every person who has lost a child to the games, to starvation, to the oppression of snow's regime. he is not haymitch. he is panem.

Actually I really like that Percy is Thalia's look-alike in the books with their matching black hair and green eyes and the ichor of such powerful gods running through their veins and their mirrored personalities. I like that Annabeth and Luke both looked at Percy and saw Thalia and I love thinking about what a sucker punch Percy must have felt like to the both of them.
#riordanverse#percy jackson#thalia grace#pjo#percy jackson series#annabeth chase#luke castellan#is rick going to forget and fuck up his own symbolism? tune in next year or whenever the fucking show comes out#he already did it once in the books when he forgot Thalia's eye color and changed it to blue#annabeth thought he was a child of zeus despite all evidence to the contrary because percy looks like thalia

He may be a God, but I am a Scientist
#I drew this without referencing anything but there's a voice in the back of my head thats like 'you've seen this exact drawing before'#and like I know I've seen the general visual concept around but I now I can't find specific examples and its itching in the back of my head#think I was also inspired by the arcane s2 opening. But if anyone's seen this exact concept potentially with?? the text too?? let me know#but Im not sure if its just my brain playing tricks on me. ANYWAY this was mostly practice for doing more interesting/symbolic rendering :3#gravity falls#young stanford pines#stanford pines#ford pines#fan art#fanart#GF bord#Bill is there in spirit#BoB#Book of Bill#GF fanart#painting#artists on tumblr#my art

My page for @sheikahzine; about Impaz's duty to her village, empty of people and full of memories.
[id in alt text]
#legend of zelda#loz#twilight princess#loz tp#i'm still reeling that someone sent me an ask about this one.. that they took the time to find my tumblr and tell me they liked it#it really meant a lot; thank you to anyone that stops to leave comments like that. they make me happy#but yeah! here's the usual symbolism ramble:#i thought it'd be cool to have the 'spirits' flowing one way and the cats walking through them the other way#to kinda show the difference in life inhabiting the village in the past and present#link's face is covered because impaz was just waiting for 'the hero' so his clothes are what matters; not his face#and it (hopefully) gives a surreal and intangible sense to 'the hero' she could only hope would actually show up#you can feel free to interpret the glowy blue sheikah as ghosts or just as memories of the past! i couldn't decide either way#the one on the bottom left is oot impa since she's implied to be the village founder. so i guess she would be a ghost actually?#fan art#my art#project stuff#and ahhh the book-- everyone's stuff is so beautiful!!#especially the writing. some of the fics made me really tear up and some were so fun and clever. i really love them#a lot of them captured the sheer burden of the role of the sheikah; all of the time and grief and doubt#i know i always say this stuff about every project but. the people i get to work with in these are truly so skilled every time

malleus and silver both look basically identical to their parents but they were able to break the cycle of hatred and violence that their parents were trapped in, because they loved each other, because when they looked into each other's eyes neither of them saw the face of someone they wanted to hurt, instead they each saw someone they desperately wanted to protect, of someone who was like family to them, and they were able to stop fighting and use the power of that familial love to combine their magic and literally bring lilia back to life, and i'm going to lay down and cry now.
#twisted wonderland#malleus draconia#silver vanrouge#twst silver#diasomnia family#i'm never going to shut up about the fact that dawn's design being Like That is important!!#'he's just a recolor of silver' i mean. yes. and meleanor is just a genderbend of malleus!#you don't have to like it but i personally love this symbolism <3#maybe they should've made silver's mom the dawn knight and then the sameface would be somewhat less noticeable#or just given the dawn knight wavy hair or something idk LMAO#augh. that moment where lilia thinks meleanor and dawn made up in the afterlife because MALLEUS AND SILVER ARE HOLDING HANDS#that fucking broke me i can't 😭#twst book 7 spoilers#star.txt
