Happy Equinox!
#light and dark are balanced#an aspiration for us as well#21:24 UTC is the minute at which the tilt of the axis is perpendicular to the sun’s rays#happy equinox everyone!#happy spring to the Northern hemisphere#happy autumn to the Southern Hemisphere

#kingdom hearts dream drop distance#khddd#sora#riku#nightmare's end#mirage split#my gif#i was going to write up a whole thing in the tags about my thoughts on this keyblade#but i just know it'll be an incoherent essay because i can't properly articulate my thoughts#the x-blade must be forged through a clash of light and darkness#but i find it so highly significant that sora and riku can create their own keyblade which is so unheard of#this keyblade isn't created with a clash but rather through harmony and balance#not with conflict but with understanding and connection and love#and i always felt as though that's how the x-blade SHOULD be forged. that master xehanort went about it all wrong#because balance and connections are such important themes in these games#it has two handles and looks so regal when combined. all of the shapes feel reminiscent of the x-blade too#it shines so brilliantly with both sora and riku's symbols. the heart and crown which is the iconic logo for the entire series#also the way stained glass is always used to represent hearts. it's so significant!#and yeah the paupu fruit keychain is its own thing to unpack#okay so i ended up writing something anyway but there's still so much more#i just really hope we get to see more of this in future games because it would be shocking if it was nothing more than a cool combo attack

A bit more than you might think, actually.

a fan of his new gold touched eye & queen's blood'n 🟡🩸
#ff7 rebirth#ff7r#vincent valentine#initially had mixed feelings about the eye from screencaps bc the simplicity of two red eyes is hard to beat#but after seeing it in action#I see now under bright lighting he largely retains his original look#only under dark conditions does the eye give a bit of spice#cleverly balanced nomura#dezart

when ppl see this & this, directed by the same person, and think the narrative is "anakin is evil" not "anakin is a steward of the balance, a force demi god, as was foretold on Mortis" 😂
#anakin skywalker#ahsoka#not my gifs#if you havent seen TCW i really feel like stock in your anakin opinion is p low#you need to watch it to get a full picture of his journey and his purpose in the galaxy#he was good and evil#he is quite literally a demi god#he is always and will always be both#his ultimate struggle was wrestling with that and failing it in life bc he couldnt accept it#he was a slave to the destiny the force created him for#he was a slave to the sith#he was a servant of the jedi#he is quintessenially never truly free#he hated and loved the jedi in equal measure#he never loved the sith#he is balanced but OF THE FORCE#he was manipulated by the dark side but he is MADE OF THE FORCE#therefore he will always stand for the force the jedi way and the light#which is why he is a forceghost#star wars#u all know how i get when i put my stanakin shoes on#anyway the ogt and prequels are buddhist allegories and anakin isnt beholden to western concepts of morality in that sense as a character#in a mythic literary epic sense#also obviously he isnt human either#which is a big ring-a-ling

Some of my thoughts since the last episode of Agatha All Along:
The most earnest show of religion in an MCU property is being done through a queer kid. I like that the wider world is learning about the intersectionality of identity. I believe that Billy is as Jewish as William because a) the only family he knows has 'raised' him Jewish and b) his love of witchcraft and ritual and finding ways to explain his world intersect with the rituals and traditions of his faith. Even William was deeply fascinated with magic and witchcraft and journeys of discovery.
Marvel fans are aware that Wiccan is a strong character. The fact that this symbol of masculine strength can be found in a witch boy who is raised to be strong in his sense of self by women in his coven, is awesome. He is drawn to feminine strength as inspiring instead of looking for male heroes. He is attracting feminine forms of protection (Alice), feminine disruptors of the status quo and stereotypes (Lilia), strength in the feminine aesthetic and belief in your innate power (Jen), feminine quest for knowledge and ambition (Agatha). He is being shadowed by death (Rio), but even death gives life in its reincarnation (as we return to earth and feed the earth with our life-force to continue on in new forms).
I believe that Wiccan is/can be as important to the MCU as Spiderman is. Spiderman is a teenager who could be any and everyone. Spiderman looks up to Iron Man, especially but also seeks male role models and approval. (A big part of Iron Man's humanity and softness came from mentoring Peter Parker - I see parallels between Agatha Harkness and Iron Man in this way too).
I believe Wiccan is a version of masculinity to teens that can see that women hold the depth of knowledge and power that he is more interested in unlocking and that their experiences with adversity will be better guides for him as he grows to be the most powerful magic user in the MCU. He is also chosen as a witch and not a sorcerer/wizard/warlock.
Will we be getting little boys and girls and theys aspiring to be wiccans and spidermen equally?
#i love the nuance between dark and light in this show - that nurturing comes from accepting all parts of ourselves and each other#witchcraft is being so well showcased#it being not exact science but about belief#wanda's magic is partly about shaping reality#which if wiccan has inherited that - his balanced sense of belief is very important for humanity#both lorna's version of the ballad as well as the original are good rule books for Billy Maximoff-Kaplan#agatha all along#agatha all along spoilers#billy maximoff#william kaplan#billy kaplan#wiccan mcu#agatha harkness#ballad of the witches' road#billy kaplan as an anti-incel insert into male nerddom#lgbtqia+#intersectionality

jamiazu / ashenviper week day 6: toxic yaoi overblot
SORRY it's very much a rushed mess especially in the lower half jdkslfjksd i was v busy today and trying to hurry to get something done for this before midnight [covers up the clock... i was close enough,,, it's still day 6 in some time zones jkfdlsjfs]
unfortunate that the overblots have so much going on and take me ten billion years to draw otherwise i think id like drawing them more bc they LOOK VERY COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#ashenviper week 2024#twisted wonderland#twst#jamiazu#ashenviper#azul ashengrotto#jamil viper#cereal tries to draw#and boy did i try. JFKLDSJFLDSJG#i kinda shot myself in the foot deciding today on the day i STARTED WAY LATER#to be the day that i wanted to try shading in the tones lol#and then. picked the day i was doing stuff with a lot of dark black parts#with no color to balance out the similar tones jkLJFSDKLJFDKLJS#im not exactly good with tonal contrast and UNFORTUNATELY IT'S VERY APPARENT HERE TODAY SORRYYYYYYYYYYYY#whatever it's practice teehee. good enough is GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!!!!#anyway i was gonna draw them looking more evil but i kinda ended up goin the route of like. evil while gay#as in kind of extremely obsessed w/each other in their toxic yaoi state idk#like i think if they overblot at the same time it woulda been over for us boys theyd be too strong#uniting the powers of hypnosis and blackmail and also the fine print. and gay. to take over the school and then probably the world#u probs gotta click full screen squint on this one bc if ucked it up stupid style theres too much dark lol#USUALLY I HAVE THE OPPOSITE PROBLEM I DONT GO DARK ENOUGH#[professor voice] youre kinda stuck in the midtones#well. this time i went mid/dark and forgot the light lol#if i had more time maybe i coulda done some like actual shading to round it out but I DONT WANNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IT'S LATE#AND IM SLEEEEPYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY#if drawing overblot details didnt kill me tho i think id like to draw them being overblot together more often lol i enjoy the concept#maybe if i can shorthand it or GO BACK TO MY BELOVED TINY GUYS#i spent the most time on this one of all the other drawings this week#tomorrow i do not anticipate ill spend as long on but#i was considerin the glomas outfits which are ALSO SCARY DETAILS AUGHHGHGH <- it's bc im bad at drawing. LOL

[ on youtube ]
a concept for the type of OP i'd love to see for the second season of Dungeon Meshi! both s1 OPs are great, but i'm really hoping for one that captures both the "dangerous fantasy adventure" and "comedic cooking adventure" aspects of the series in equal measure, because it's the integration of those two concepts that makes the series special to me. the joyous whimsy and the dramatic horrors are equally important!!
#the song is Wild Side--the first Beastars op does the tonal shift balancing act really well#switching between primal animalistic hunger and sweet unexpected romance#dungeon meshi#delicious in dungeon#dunmeshi#dunmesh#dungeon meshi amv#dunmeshi amv#mypost#myamv#i have a different version of this concept but it can only exist as storyboards in my head bc i'd need to make an animatic at minimum#to bring it to life fully#the idea being that the party is moving through a cavernous darkness with watchful eyes (iykyk) looming above#they stumble across monster after monster that snaps and bites and stabs and grabs at them as they run away#with the human threats making appearances too#until they're completely surrounded by terrors in the dark#and then the tonal switch up comes. the lights flicker and snap on and all of the monsters have become piles of ingredients#thus beginning the energetic cooking montage that gives a closer look into character roles & personalities (similar to the 2nd op)#and ending with the darkness encroaching again or some other reminder that they're still surrounded by dangers#i'd want to incorporate Izutsumi and the secondary cast more than i could with the version i made here#but i did my best to match the vibe in my head!#ty again to my friend for being a sounding board for ideas and all around being super helpful during the last editing stages i love youuuu

{ 4 } 🦢FINDING YOUR SIREN SONG🤍
Remember, you must pull from your natural qualities to make music and become magnetic. If you force it, you will make noise and become repellent. (An example of this in pop culture is Chloe Bailey. She’s a naturally seductive and sweet artist but her image is forced and imbalanced. Rihanna for instance, is also naturally seductive and sweet but instead of forcing her sexuality, she blends it well with her light playfulness, making her appeal exude naturally).

#kingdom hearts 2#kh2#sora#riku#my gif#ever since i was a kid i was always so entranced by this limit#it's so intricate and cool#where do i even begin#sora utilizing the power of darkness and shooting it from his hands? love that#then riku takes hold of sora's keyblade and dual wields as they become encased in light and take the shape of huge swords#he swings them then passes them both to sora for him to do the same#then they link arms as a bunch of swords materialize and spin alongside them#it's just such a cool display of the balance between light and darkness#a theme that's so important to the games#and of course there's the fist bump haha

I really like that Love is Better the Second Time Around uses the same clothing because the same outfits keep popping up in the same combos like how we got these outfits together again.
When we got them in the first episode during their first argument about Takashi coming across as being disingenuous about his feelings since he is so casual about them.
But, of course, I also like the colors.
Because even though it's not the pink room of love,
Hiro is wearing the same outfit and the color red is prominent as he declines Takashi's offer to move in together which is similar to his girlfriend's rejection of his proposal.
So it's just interesting that even though they keep attempting to balance out their colors,
They are stuck between the light and the dark.
Or more like their past and their future.
Give me balance!
#the colors mean things#color coded boys in love#Love is Better the Second Time Around#light x dark#eff a color exchange#can I get a balance#they are adults#let them find a happy medium#koi wo suru nara nidome ga joto
