What inspired this image\/\/\/

[marapuama]

from an out of universe perspective yes the parallels between grave of maria and other aspects of the plot are likely to be a result of hoshino putting things she likes in different places

but from an in universe perspective. might there be a significance to maria's singing innocence and nea's singing, or her strange arm and allen's strange arm, or her butterfly motif and tyki's tease butterflies, or

Doodle request for @ledurr for correctly guessing which character I was drawing. Hope you like it!

I have a question has Shadow ever went to see Maria at her grave and talks about his days?

He doesn’t say much.

Hi, Tails Death Denier here! Not sure if I really count as one though because I'm not sticking my fingers in my ears and going "Lalalalala" because I want him to live. I'm willingly denying his death so the impact isn't lowered when that death happens. I wanna sit there and experience real anguish when I watch Tails become "Trails" because he's just a splatter of blood trailing up the wall when he does get killed, and if I've already passed through the five stages of grief and accepted that he's dead, then I won't feel it as much! Looking forward to you ripping out my achey breaky lil heart though! :D

"Trails" is a new one. My good friend nicknamed him "Tail And Tail."

hey would you too like to feel pain at the heart wrenching despair and pain in Shadow's eyes as he gets tazed and shoved into a cage right after losing the most important person in his life due to a series of events caused by his own existence

The poetry that inspired Jeff Buckley

Voices as incredible as the one belonging to Jeff Buckley don’t come around too often. Unfortunately, after releasing one record, Grace, Buckley, with all his potential, was taken away too soon. At the age of 30, the singer went for a swim from which he never returned, drowning in the Mississippi River.

Yet, his legacy lives on as one of the most influential artists to emerge from the 1990s, and his music is widely celebrated today for its emotional and lyrical complexity. Not only did Buckley possess an otherworldly voice, but he was also an extremely gifted guitar player and writer, with all his talents combining to create a masterful body of work.

Even when Buckley was covering other artists’ songs, such as ‘Lilac Wine’, ‘The Other Woman’ and ‘Hallelujah’, he imbued the pieces with his own distinctive style. Yet, his penchant for covers wasn’t a reflection of an aversion to writing. Buckley knew how to pen a stunningly poetic track, with songs like ‘Lover, You Should’ve Come Over’ and ‘Morning Theft’ suggesting that even if Buckley didn’t have the vocal pipes he was gifted with, he’d get by just fine as a writer.

Buckley took inspiration from many different writers and musicians when writing his own songs. Musically, Buckley looked back to folk artists like Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and, of course, his own father, Tim Buckley, from whom he was estranged. Elsewhere, he loved the work of Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the rich tones of Nina Simone, and Led Zeppelin, calling Robert Plant “my man”.

However, when it came to his literary inspirations, Buckley had an extensive book collection, which he no doubt looked to for ideas when writing his lyrics. He owned a lot of poetry, with Rainer Maria Rilke proving to be a particular favourite. Not only did Buckley own Dunio Elegies, Rilke on Love and Other Difficulties: Translations and Considerations Poems from the Book of Hours, but he also owned his epistolary collection Letters to a Young Poet.

Buckley was also a fan of the classic American poet Walt Whitman, owning Leaves of Grass and From the Soil. Of course, no poetry collection is complete without copies of Arthur Rimbaud’s A Season in Hell and Illuminations, alongside some Charles Baudelaire – Buckley-owned Paris Spleen. The singer also owned the Selected Poems of confessional poet Anne Sexton and modernist writer T.S Eliot.

Check out Buckley’s complete poetry collection below.

Hair Color Pie Chart for Playable Castlevania Characters

In whole numbers, we have 7 black-haired characters (12.5%), 7 brunettes (12.5%), 13 blondes (23.21%), 12 white-haired characters (21.42%), 6 redheads (10.71%), 5 classified as other (8.83%), and 6 without or with unidentifiable hair (10.71%). Thanks to Stocke's video, I was able to put this together. I only used the character's artwork in their playable games though.

I did this because I was really curious what the ratio might be for the character's hair colors. As expected, most had white or blonde hair lol. Clearly, Kojima, Igarashi and whoever designed Nathan really liked protagonists with light colored hair.

Regarding the characters categorized as other; Simon has blue hair in Haunted Castle, Eric has green hair in addition to his blonde in Bloodlines artwork, the Lecarde sisters have purple-ish??? hair in PoR, and Carrie has blue/icy blue hair in 64/Legacy of Darkness.

I didn't know what the hair colors for Grant and Shaft are, so I just grouped them together with the "no hair" group. Sorry TT^TT I didn't want to add another category for "ambiguous colored hair".

(Dang, there are way too many characters to tag. I'll try to fit as many as I can, I guess???)

Monster themed Inktober prompts done so far. Tag on twitter is Vaniatober. If I don't post these now I'd be too lazy to tag all the characters (I am already)

“Extinguish my eyes, I'll go on seeing you. Seal my ears, I'll go on hearing you. And without feet I can make my way to you, without a mouth I can swear your name.

Break off my arms, I'll take hold of you with my heart as with a hand. Stop my heart, and my brain will start to beat. And if you consume my brain with fire, I'll feel you burn in every drop of my blood.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke
