hi :) just would like to say I really enjoy this space a lot but I’ve been feeling not so comfortable past weeks so this is a reiteration that I don’t think I should even post but I will for my own peace of mind.

am here to write and talk to you guys, but that does not include gossip or rumors regarding tom or any celeb we talk about here’s personal life. My blog isn’t the space for that, and I’ve made that clear a bunch of times that I’m uncomfortable talking about it and I’m uncomfortable receiving information that I didn’t ask for.

I don’t care what he’s doing, idk him or what’s going on and neither do you, I’m here for him and his career, as I would be for any celeb I might be into. so if you cross that boundary with me, I will block you.

i will forever believe that gansey and blue can kiss after. idgaf. because what was the point? they did all of that to save gansey and he could still die just by kissing his girlfriend?

with the symbolism of the camaro always being close to breaking down representing gansey’s fragility, and ronan giving them the dream camaro that will keep running seems to show that gansey is safe and will live? it’s clear gansey was always in limbo and in danger after his first death, so that moment and ending feels like he’s moving on and growing up.

especially since it’s shown gansey is almost obsessive with his own death. re-enacting his death, not killing the wasp, dating a girl that could kill him - it doesn’t make sense symbolically that he could still die so easily.

and don’t even get me started on blue, who would literally have to live with the knowledge that she killed gansey, and can still kill him again.

i understand the more tragic elements of the story and why they’re there (noah being forgotten the gangsey going their desperate ways) but like…. it seems pretty clear that gansey does not see a life worth living where he doesn’t get to kiss blue sargent. it just doesn’t make sense to me character and story wise that they have to continue living under the curse and can never truly be free, especially since that’s the end of their story.

An interesting part of Stayed Gone and Hell's Greatest Dad is how these two duets visualize the different dynamics Alastor has between his two "rivals"

In this analysis I'm mostly going to focus on RadioStatic since they're the ones I'm brainrotting over, though there are a few things I've noticed about HGD that I wanted to point out in this post.

So if you're looking for a more RadioApple focused analysis, I'm afraid this isn't it due to my inherent bias. If you have any thoughts about Alastor, Lucifer, and their dynamic or anything in general about this post feel free to share your own thoughts and ideas! ^w^

First let's get to the starting portions of the song when Alastor is in the picture.

In Stayed Gone, we're first presented with the background of Vox's store front having an empty neighbor by its side. Until Alastor enters the picture.

Visually this already tells us that there's always been an empty spot by Vox's side that Alastor fills.

Interestingly enough, we also see them being visualized as cleanly slotting together in the song even if there's a definite line between the two of them that keeps them separated. (Which is also present with how their store fronts are also separated by a wall)

Meanwhile, in Hell's Greatest Dad, we're shown that Lucifer and Alastor starts off in the song by being physically beside each other.

Which Lucifer swiftly leaves behind to have his solo portions.

In Stayed Gone, when Alastor first entered the picture, Vox tried to push Alastor out. But kept failing as Alastor continues to keep himself in the picture.

Interestingly enough, regardless of how much Vox pushes and how much Alastor keeps himself in the picture, they're always shown together visually even when they're singing by themselves.

And the moments when they're are on the screen alone instead of together is shown to be very brief before Alastor enters the picture yet again.

Contrasting that to Hell's Greatest Dad, they spend alot of their singing portions being solo and alone on the screen. Making a point to push the other away before making their point with Charlie.

They don't really stay in the same screen together and beside each other for long.

If Stayed Gone started with Vox trying to push Alastor away before begrudgingly letting him stay on the screen with him.

Then in Hell's Greatest Dad, they started off as staying and singing their parts separately away from each other as much as possible.

Before they stayed with each other for a longer period of time and making them have their more heated instrument duet and the arguing at the end.

You could argue that the two songs are an inverse of each other in a weird sense.

Another thing I've noticed is how Vox and Lucifer were presented differently when it comes to being "below" Alastor.

For Vox, there's a very clear line that makes this sense of being below Alastor very apparent.

Meanwhile Alastor's attempt at making Lucifer seem below him isn't as apparent and clear cut as Vox's

(I find it so fucking funny and hilarious how Alastor gave Lucifer a thumbs down. He didn't even pull anything like I thought he did at first!)

That's all the things I can compare and contrast between Stayed Gone and Hell's Greatest Dad for now.

I have more thoughts about how Alastor and Vox's relationship is presented, but they're not as closely tied/limited to these two songs so I'll talk about that in another post :P

This post isn't meant to say that either RadioStatic or RadioApple is better than the other as that's not my intention at all with this post. I just wanted to give my personal observations about these two songs and their differences and similarities.

So if I accidently offended anyone, I sincerely apologize.

Since I'm a RadioStatic fan, I naturally talk about them more in a positive light, though I did try to keep my observations about RadioApple as neutral as possible since I'm not as confident with my observations about them.

I hope this was a good read regardless!

It’s so wild to me that everyone from QSMP that went to twitchcon was determined that SOMEONE was getting married in Vegas and I’m so glad it was Forever tbh bc how was it insanely hilarious and yet kinda made me wanna cry

My toxic masc trait is having a really hard time putting my emotions into words unless they are somewhat aggressive ones and i have been slowly trying to express my affection for people into words more but at the end of the day I'll always be somebody who expresses my love more with actions then anything else, and normally I wouldn't make a dumb ass tumblr post about my feel feels either cuz like who cares but I need to know if other masc and butches or like anybody else have experienced this too where, people just WONT GET IT? like I'll try to SHOW someone I love them in every physical way I know how and then they will be like "how was I supposed to know how you feel, you never said anything" crushing my heart into a million pieces, like a punch in the gut, i was trying to show you but i guess you just like didn't notice or my actions didn't mean as much to you as they do me, it's fine I'm fine

Art Journey Log: What is Artmaxxing... and Why Does it Bother Me? (02/12/2024)

There's a specific type of art content creation I've noticed, especially on Youtube, that I've been wanting to talk about for a while. I'll admit though, even now I struggle with exactly what I want to say, and how... But I really want to try, it feels important that I get out what I've been thinking.

So this thing I've noticed is something I've been calling "artmaxxing", which I define as content centered on attempting to and explaining how one can get as "good" at art as fast as possible. Here's what makes this tricky: there is nothing actually WRONG with that type of content. Sometimes, often even, it can in fact be a very helpful form of video, and suggestions from these videos can, in fact, help you improve on an objective level. But...

(I will not be pointing at any examples, as I don't really want to draw negative attention towards these creators. Just know that they are very common on Youtube's art space, and you wouldn't have to look far to find one.)

(These contentmakers also tend to be the type of creator to make "critiquing/roasting your art" videos, which I also have severe issues with, but is not the subject of this current blog post. Perhaps another time...)

But here is where my issues start. The idea that the pursuit of improvement is not only necessary, but MANDATORY, I find, can be extremely harmful to the art mindset. "Soli, that seems, like, really counterintuitive," I hear you say. And you are correct! But here's the thing: unless your artistic goals begin and end with growth for growth's sake, you will end up standing in your way. And I'm gonna dare say that, for most people, the point of making art isn't inherently just to get better at it.

Most artists start making art for a purpose. Whether it's to make comics and tell stories, make characters, to externalise the visions you are plagued with, for fashion design, or just because you liked a piece of media so much that it inspired you to create something new based on it... There are endless reasons, and they are rarely Just For Arts's Sake, or Just For Growth's Sake. So the problem is when an artist holds themselves back, keeps themselves from creating the things they actually want to make, because they see themselves as not good enough yet. They want to wait until they are better, until they've improved,

The problem is that "better" is a constantly moving goalpost, and one which, simultaneously, you may never actually get closer to. Your own improvement is not always obvious, and there is always something more to learn.

Do the thing now. Do the art you actually want to make now. Pursue what inspires you, what makes you want to create. Improvement will follow, because every time you draw, you get better. If you're struggling on a part of a drawing, find reference, look for advice as to how to improve that one part, and remain specific. Remember that you can always come back to the same work, the same themes, iterate and improve on them, your piece doesn't have to be one and done. Do not let yourself get too general, or you will stand in your own way. Ignore the voices telling you you aren't good enough yet, that you NEED to work to improve.

Don't stand in your way, and don't listen to anyone telling you want you Should or Need to be learning and doing to improve.

You are good enough right now to start being the artist you want to be.

Does anyone else ever have this vivid feeling of disconnection from nature? Like this sort of realization of how far you really are? I had one of those moments in an ikea store sitting on one of the couches and everything around me feeling so… artificial, and fake. I love comfy sweaters and electric water kettles and the entire concept of the internet but I would give anything to trade my humanity for a coat of fur, a running creek, and the songs of birds.

I am begging for a crumb of the arranged marriage historical au 🥹🥹🥹

As you know, Rhett is immediately smitten upon meeting his future wife for the first time. She's not the meek and obedient girl he expects, but a woman with her own mind who literally says "I suppose you'll do" when she first sees him. Lou is beautiful and intelligent, she makes him laugh, and all he can think about when he shows her the house they'll move into after the wedding is all the babies running around. Babies with black hair like hers and blue eyes like his. Lou is nervous that she won't live up to what a wife should be like—she's always been strong-minded and outspoken. Instead, she finds that Rhett is a gentle soul who sees her as equal.

Don't even get me started on their wedding night. Rhett will love teaching his pretty and innocent wife all about pleasure, both that he can give her, what she can give him, and what she can give herself. Just the sight of her naked body, untouched and all his, is enough for him to almost come in his trousers. And when she gets pregnant and starts to swell with his child? Feral. He has a raging breeding kink and cannot get enough of her.

It may have been arranged, but it turns into true and everlasting love.

Firstly, I wanna say that your scapegoat John theory is really good, and it confirmed the doubts I had about how inconsistent John was about the murders, really good indeed! I just got curious to ask what do you think the "complexity" or even motive of the murder(s) would have been. So far the whole case seems to rely on the idea that John killed people for the sake of "helping"/"saving" Mikoto in that manner. But with the scapegoat theory in mind, what would have been 09's reason of killing? I am very curious to hear your thoughts!

hi!! thank you!!! im actually really glad others had the same thoughts about how his story didn't quite add up

honestly as anticlimactic as it is, i think mikoto just broke under the pressure of his work. clearly some part of him wanted to be someone who would stand up to people, burn it all down, etc. as much as he couldn't accept it and pushed it down, those desires are very much a part of him, and his environment was absolutely not helping him with finding any other coping mechanism aside from slowly building stress and desperation.

i think most 'murders' in milgram are actually relatively straightforward and a lot are cases of unfortunate circumstances. they're less about 'was this the right thing' and moreso 'do you pity them now you know what brought them to this moment'. i think mikoto's struggles with his mental health, identity, and toxic work environment are pitiable. no alter required.

i think his complexity also, like with other prisoners, is in how he obscures the truth and how he gains rapport with the audience. an extreme case is with muu -- she spun a narrative, gained sympathy, but then with more information the audience turned on her. it's not that her crime got any more substantially evil -- we knew she'd killed someone -- but we felt betrayed that our sympathies had been misled and we felt that we had been lied to about her circumstances or how pitiable she really is. i think a similar thing is going to happen to mikoto, to be honest.

his complexity is that because of his disorder and issues with identity, he misled us heavily. we thought it was because he was normal and then got possessed, but it turns out he was just a normal guy who couldnt take it anymore and then repressed it. and i wonder how the audience will handle having their preconceptions and already established sympathies challenged when they realise that at the end of the day, he's just a guy that did an unforgivable thing because of his circumstances like anybody else.

and you should speak on izzy and jace being similar because i’m surprised they weren’t as close when they both are literally the same person

i didn't write my thoughts down when i thought this months ago so this was a struggle to put together but here they are !!

jace and isabelle both have the same attitude towards the world, and they undergo a similar arc.

when we meet jace, he doesn't have an identity of his own. he created an "unbothered" persona, very sarcastic, very rebellious, and very contrasting to how you'd imagine someone who grew up like him would act. he made himself his father's son (or, more so, was forced to become that), but he quickly loses that when michael wayland, his adoptive parents' friend, wasn't his father, but valentine, the genocidal cult-leader, and he is shunned for that. the world reminds him his father wasn't who he told jace he was, he is reminded his father was a psychopathic monster and he will grow up to become exactly like him. (he later meets sebastian. sebastian who was raised by the exact same person as jace, and turned to be just like their father.) later he falls for a girl, someone new, someone who has a different perspective on life, someone interesting and lovely, someone who he discovers, too late, is apparently his sister. but who falls in love with their own sister? a monster, obviously. the theory of him having demon blood only asserted that. as the story goes, jace is forced to destroy his own personality, his own identity, forced to mold and remold himself, specifically to fit what people think of his father(s). he doesn't belong here. why should he try?

the easiest way to see how this is represented throughout the series is through his name. jonathan christopher, then jace, a wayland, then a morgenstern, then a herondale, but the happiest part of his life (aka least traumatising environment) was spent as a lightwood.

isabelle lightwood too has an "unbothered" persona, when, in reality, she is none of that, and has never been. isabelle's environment growing up was nothing short of chaos, and she knew that was something she couldn't control. so, like any human being, she tries to control it anyway. she is 15yo and a known "serial-dater", purposefully. her parents are quite conservative, that will keep their attention on her and not her brother, alec, who is not straight and doesn't feel safe enough to explore his own identity. so isabelle doesn't explore her own identity. sure, she learns to enjoy this part of her life, but it didn't start out as that, did it? and her parents were always on the verge of a divorce, something she couldn't control either, but she can pretend. she tries with how her parents act, towards each other, towards alec, towards jace, towards max, towards isabelle herself. and, like jace, she was also trained to fight. she was given her first weapon and the tender age of ten. she was forced to look at the world with the eyes of a predator and a hunter of evil, like all other shadowhunter children. she was taught to police. she even attempts to control her own feelings. the people she dates, she can't let them get too close to her, lest she grow fond of them, as they will be gone from her life soon, she will make them. but she ends up falling for someone anyway, the first time she lets herself do so. but that person lost his memories, he won't remember isabelle, and how he was her first true love. she can't love anyone properly, can she?

and jace can't love anyone properly, can he? was he even taught to? was isabelle even taught to?

(this is relating to my post, if anyone is wondering)

I have not been so physically unwell about a ship as chronohaul in a long, long time.

[chippedshake]

okay okay okay I know I said I would wait until I finish the book again until I made this post but, um. no.

also I can always make a more comprehensive one later

So. Idk how people generally analyse Tex (something I should look into probably), but I feel like a major theme is how interpersonal relationships tie into identity and the way people live? exist? are? in general.

Mainly through using Tex and Mason as foil characters, you can really see how this plays out.

First you have the horses. Now, there's the obvious aspect of Mason selling them, putting himself and Tex over the horses in importance (which, I mean, duh), but there's also something Tex mentions towards the beginning of the book, which is that Mason never treated Red like a human. Tex treated Negrito like a person, and in turn felt like it was a mutual relationship. Mason, on the other hand treated Red like a horse, kinda like you'd expect someone to.

Which is why this perspective is so interesting, because you have Tex, who is maybe too empathetic, too emotional, feeling like horses can respond to you like a human can, and you get into the idea of Mason maybe being ignorant or cold in the way he interacts with them.

Then there's the fact that it's mentioned off-handedly that Mason was dating a girl who was named Laurie (I think?) but they broke it off because she wanted to get married. And we get no description of Mason's emotions. Yes, Tex is the narrator, but he's fairly good at reading people and is emotionally intelligent. Unlike with Ponyboy, you can't explain away a character seemingly not expressing the feelings they should logically be having by saying "oh, well he just didn't notice" because he would. Mason seems almost unaffected by the fact that he and his girlfriend broke up and while, yes, he doesn't want to settle down, that doesn't mean he doesn't feel anything towards people.

And then you have Tex and Jamie. They weren't all that serious, but when they break up, Tex seems to take it really strongly. (I just noticed the Tex-Jamie / Mason-Laurie parallelism and I'm definitely gonna do a post about that soon). He gets attached to people really easily, so if they leave him, it hurts him all the more.

But the story is about Tex progressively losing everyone he cares about.

Mason sells Negrito and Red, Mason isn't friends with Lem anymore, Johnny gets into a fight with him, Jamie and him break up, and then the drop that made the cup overflow (idk how to translate that from spanish) is that apparently he isn't Pop's son.

And right after that, he almost dies.

I don't think that's a coincidence.

ALSO. When he's getting better, he gets a bunch of visits from people who care about him. He finds out Mason broke every single part of his facade out of worry. He finds out Jamie came to visit him. Johnny and him had already made up but Johnny doesn't seem mad that he's dating Jamie anymore. Even Cole seems to begrudgingly tolerate him.

Tex's identity is almost entirely built on other people. He's a horse rider and Mason's little brother and Johnny's best friend and Pop's son and Jamie's boyfriend. So when those connections fail, he doesn't know what to do with himself. In a way, he does die because he needs to build himself back up, he need to make a person where there used to just be relationships. Which isn't to say he can't have relationships, because that's the stance Mason kinda takes, but he need to grow to be independent from them and yeah.

That's all I have for now. But wow. I'm going to spend so much time obsessing over this book.

[mayashesfly]

I know touched on this before in this post and a few others

But it's truly fascinating to me how Alastor and Vox are visualizes as being beside each other instead of being against each other.

In my previous post I already pointed out that these two scenes portray the two as being beside each other but with a definite line between the two of them

And near the end of the song, this pattern still keeps itself until Alastor ended it (we'll touch on that)

An interesting thing at the start of Stayed Gone when Alastor entered the picture is that Alastor, oddly enough, kept his eyes closed at first.

Before he opened them to quite literally, poke fun at Vox

And even "pushed" his boundaries quite literally as Alastor moved the distinct line between them that keeps them separated.

This caused the line between them to quite literally be pushed around

And, while it can't be seen in this screenshot because it's been cropped down below, Alastor's cane has now quite literally crossed that line.

In both of these cases, they haven't actually physically looked at each other in the eyes since this was done through broadcasting instead of an actual physical confrontation together.

It's been merely visualized that way for us the audience.

Also, the distinct line between them is still in place.

However, this pushing around between them have caused that line to be breached as in the next scene briefly

And we see Alastor's eyes dilate.

The scene ends with Vox only being able to successfully reenter the picture/push Alastor away when he's shown to be below him before he surrounded Alastor.

This is interesting since it took Vox two tries of trying to cover up Alastor to successfully take his place.

While Alastor was easily able to reenter the picture all by himself without a struggle and Vox didn't even attempt to push him away anymore.

Note how yet again, Alastor has his eyes closed for the most part while Vox is the only one keeping his eyes open.

Interestingly enough, the line between them is back yet again, even if it moves slightly from the sound of Alastor's voice.

Moreover, the line itself is red now instead of it being a merely separation between red and blue. Showing that, alongside it responding to Alastor's voice, it seems like this line is under Alastor's control.

(I made a previous post before where I think some of the sequence of events that happened in Stayed Gone showcase that Alastor has somehow hijacked the speaker towers and got into Vox's office which is why he knows of Vox's unbroadcasted lines. I didn't notice this red line before but it seems to be a tie in/another possible evidence to that post. However, I won't elaborate on that even more in this post since it's getting quite long.)

All of these things and the way things were visualized makes the audience think that Alastor is more in control. After all, he rather effortlessly moved the line between them around and easily reenters the picture when Vox pushes him away. However, on Vox's side of things he only successfully reenters the picture when he's below Alastor and had to make two attempts so he could successfully cover up Alastor. And even then, Alastor reenters the scene yet again, now with the line between them being in his control.

I can't say for certain what all of this means (Sorry guys, the autism decided to overanalyze that entire scene)

However we'll finally get to the point that made me do write this post in the first place.

The idea that they're visualized as being beside each other even when there's a line between them instead of being visualized as against each other similarly to Alastor and Lucifer.

I already shown the other examples of this from Stayed Gone, so we'll move onto the other examples of this idea.

Canonically, this is the other instance of the two of them being visualized as being beside each other. In the actual photo, they're physically beside each other.

However, just like in Stayed Gone, there is now a line between them since the picture has been quite literally torn apart.

There has also been some speculation that the vacant seat on Rosie's left in the Overlord Meeting is Vox's.

Once again, while Vox and Alastor are beside each other, or well in this case on the same side instead of the opposite, there's a line between them with Rosie.

What exactly is the significance of Alastor and Vox being visualized on the same side instead of opposition? Well, I think this shows how the two of them had previously worked together and maybe even well together since they slotted perfectly together.

Obviously, this doesn't seem to be the case anymore but the visuals of them being beside each other is still there even when there is now a definite line that divides them.

The only times we see Alastor and Vox looking at each other at the opposite side instead of the same side is when there's a screen between them.

But even then it's not shown in the same way as Lucifer and Alastor's as we can only see their faces separately instead of being directly shown at the same time on screen.

This decision of not visualizing the two of them directly being on the opposite side compared to how we physically saw Alastor and Lucifer directly being in opposition is an interesting decision on the team's part.

Only time and Season 2 will tell if this decision to visualize Alastor and Vox as being beside each other with a definite line between them instead of in direct opposition will change or not alongside their current dynamic.

canon complicit: taking the Mercedes and Annette B support to it's most extreme conclusions

(please do not tag this post as ship)

The Mercedes and Annette B support is... weird. I'm not the first person to point this out.

In case you forgot, here's what the B support entails: Mercedes and Annette are out shopping, when a rogue comes to try and steal their money. Annette steps in to try and protect Mercedes. Before anything bad happens, the knights come to intervene. Then they have this conversation:

Now, I think this argument is a bit silly to begin with. But it becomes more ludicrous when you realize this incident causes a 5 year gap in their friendship.

The A support - where they discuss what happened - can only be unlocked after the time skip, after all. And we know that it wasn't just an incident they forgot about to try and pretend like everything was normal between them. All of their shared task dialogue at B support level shows an awkwardness between them. And of course there is the A support itself.

So, like... losing a longstanding friendship over something like this is already something that is going to have an Insane Emotional Toll, even if they do make up in their A support. But you want to know what would have even MORE of an emotional toll?

If that resolution never comes. If the two of them were in different houses. If this fight was the last proper conversation the two of them ever had.

It is completely possible to be playing on Black Eagles or Golden Deer and recruit one of them to your house but not the other, and still see the B support through sharing a meal. You can even activate this support right before Throne of Knowledge.

Maybe you can make this fight indicative of a wider problem in their friendship, one that they hadn't wanted to admit. They were drifting apart after one of them transferred classes. The fight was a long time coming.

Or maybe the fight is just as out of nowhere as it is in canon. And yet, for 5 years, they're still holding onto it. Even if they wanted to mend it - they were on opposite sides of a war, now.

And either way, of course, the angst of making them kill each other. This whole thing started because Annette put herself in danger to protect Mercedes. And it ends with the exact opposite.

[callizinc]

while i'm not discrediting the species theory Entirelyyy because really anything is possible when it comes to Ena Lore .... one idea that i feel has a more interesting flavor than that is the idea that ena could be described as more of a singular entity that has the ability to take form/reside in many vessels (simultaneously or not is still unclear) -- particularly mannequins since theyre the type of entity we see most in dream bbq as well as in previous episodes -- and can transfer from one to the other upon "death" or other severe circumstances … the final scenes make for really really compelling evidence what with the mannequin within ena ripping itself away from her exterior, followed by ena somehow regenerating through the body of a mannequin that has been sitting against a wall in the hub since the start of the game!! you Could chalk the post-credits up as a scene thats nonsensical just for the sake of being nonsensical but i still think there could be something deeper to it. a secondary tidbit is that characters don't refer to the concept of ena in the second person as "an ena" or "enas" as one would normally do when talking about something that belongs to a species, but rather simply "ena" ("i have studied ena for a long long time" as said by the suspicious man[? is that his canon name?], "im pretty sure ena gave this to me" as said by one of the witches). which is a very interesting grammatical choice if u ask me !!!! anyway i could elaborate more but i have a migraine eheheh. i hope this makes the slightest bit of sense ^_^.

Guy holding up hands up youtube thumbnail image HOLD UP........ THEIR TAKES ARE THIS FIRE??????????????????

FIRST OF ALL A day with multi paragraph ena discussion in my inbox is a day more beautiful than almost any other (so thank you) SECOND OF ALL, HA HA HA.... YES!!!!!!! That whole thing with the mannequins is one of the many things that Was in the back of my mind but even now there's just. So much that i (#Theoryenjoyer) am trying to digest it slipped my mind a little bit...

but nevertheless YES!!!!!! I think i'd go as far as to say that your idea of Ena having different vessels through the mannequins is very very likely to be true, or at least something close along those lines! I also think that although lots of the... odder things she turns into for gags LOL don't really need an explanation, I do think this explanation makes the "drunk" enas from extinction party make a little more sense—like how she gets super glitchy in the post-credits scene, maybe something like that was Also?? Kind of happening????

A question i'd have as a result of this, though, is why the mannequins oftentimes seem Alive themselves, and also why so many of them are scattered throughout the game right near places you can "die"; I have. No idea how to answer that myself 😭 BUT It's interesting!

THAT'S ALSO A REALLY REALLY GOOD POINT THOUGH, ABOUT HOW THE SUSPICIOUS MAN (yes that's his name LOL) AND THE WITCH REFER TO HER!! I kind of had no idea how to touch all that and was just kind of along for the ride for it tbh 😭😭 But again that's a good point!! It definitely sounds like they know something we don't about ena, and... Maybe she doesn't know either 😭

EITHER WAY; I like this interpretation a lot, omg thank you sm for the ask :D
