#crowe family

i have talked about this in the past but i don't think i made a post about it:

if you go to aball, you can find an inscription written on the pillar for celica and arthur's unborn son:

(read more for berseria lategame spoilers)

it's easy to see how this ties into the ending, with laphicet's (the reincarnation of that child) dialogue when he makes the oath to become the empyrean maotelus and spread the silver flame in the world

as well as his monologue during the after credits

it's a very recurrent theme: as you fight artorius and innominat during the first battle, laphicet also has a chat where he tells velvet that he'll fly right by her side

but what's not as easy to see is something else

i realized in my last replay that the tombstone's translation is actually not accurate: it got localized as "this little life will spread its wings and soar through the skies", but the original inscription in japanese was 『この小さ���命が為、“理想の翼”は空に羽ばたかん』, which in the most literal way i can think of, it'd be: "for this small life, 'wings of an ideal' will flap its wings in the skies" (where 理想, which i translate as 'ideal', is also composed by 理, as 'reason', and 想, as 'thought' or 'conception')

now, what was it that artorius said right before he armatized? what was the true name he used for innominat?

ネブ＝ヒイ＝エジャム -> nevn hiw ejuam -> translated from the ancient tongue, its easily arranged into "wings for an ideal"

and again, in japanese, the reference to the tombstone is even clearer: 「今すべてを鎮めよう。我が羽ばたきで、人に相応しい静寂を……」which, in the most literal way, would be something along the lines of "now, let's suppress it all. with the flapping of my own wings, i will give humankind its adequate stillness". his armatized form, besides letting him use his right arm again, also gives him wings

it makes sense artorius was the one who put all the tombstones up and therefore eventually the engraving: velvet and laphicet were very young, and after the incident and melchior's words he probably lived disconnected enough from the rest of villagers to want anyone else getting close to them. but what's interesting to see is that just as much as he engraved that inscription in the stone, he also engraved those words deep within him

MY GOODNESS. it's been a hot minute since i posted the first part and i guess i just couldn't SHUT UP because this is FOURTEEN PAGES LONG. FOURTEEN. you can even see some pages where the linework is slightly different because i drew it like 6-ish weeks ago, that's how long this has been cooking. drawing in general has been hard lately because of time constraints, BUT i am so happy i finished this. this is like my fav project even tho it isnt as popular, but who cares!!!!! POPULAR IN MY HEART

Sometimes a family is a vengeful gang owner, a witch on drugs, a spider, a dyslexic runaway, a bisexual with a fantastic hat collection and a soldier who survived a cult

Bobby: it was a calculated risk!! Buck: it was a cross-your-fingers- and-hope-for-the-best risk. believe me, i know the difference.

I don’t think you’re getting it guys, there are two types of found family: the organized type, with “I chose you and I choose us’, healing together, and nurturing vibes, and the chaotic type, which mainly falls into the “good luck getting rid of me now” category like bringing home stray cats does.

Sometimes it’s just one, other times it’s both combined in some way. And both options are so fucking amazing.

Kaz: You have gone too far. You took the crow club, you have destroyed it’s spirit, you have taken it from me. All that I could forgive. But, Rollins…

Pekka Rollins: What?

Kaz: “scoffs” moss green?

Pekka: GET OUT OF MY CLUB!

The end of Crooked Kingdom will forever break my heart. They all were supposed to make it. They were found family, dammit. They weren't supposed to go separate ways. (But also yes, they were supposed to, to live their own lives. But as an avid found family trope lover and inhaler, this shit hurt lol)

Back on my phone widget nonsense

i know that arthur giving smol velvet and laphicet apples at the start of berseria is most probably a reference to chester giving one to ami, because berseria and especially the intro was some huge phantasia reference, but man. whenever it comes to apples i get the hugest penguindrum war flashbacks that there are known to man

I just finished reading six of crows and crooked kingdom for the first time and I am a different person. I am a mother now. I have six beautiful children and none of them are dead and they all live happily ever after all together in the same mansion.
