It’s pieces like this that truly reflect how little I understand shading 💀
Kinda eye strainy but I promise it’s worth it (probably):
Midnight art rush yet again. Felt an incredible need to cook. Did I tho? I think so. I did know that I had to finish in one go tho or else I would’ve lost motivation and gave up lol.
This is based on that one song from Chicago that became a trending audio lol. In a way, they both reached for "the gun". Anthony (and Abel) was the reason the whole war in Spaceland started. On the other hand, Zenith (someone I haven't posted yet) was the one to actually drop the first bomb. I love my media where everyone is at fault and super doomed.
I will yap about Zenith and his beef with Abel in a later post, but for now you get a hand shot lol.
shoutout to people with dads who are part of Gen X who introduced them to the best music of their generation when their dads were kids in the 70s-80s (it's me i'm people) (i love my dad <3)
This is so, so self-indulgent and rushed but I had a shower-thought and had to realize it. So here's part of a Hurricane cover but instead it's Matsuda in the last episode. (Audio transcript under the "Read More")
The metaphor of the "Hurricane" is really interesting because I feel like it can be taken in two ways. One is the more obvious "force of nature" comparison that Light uses. He believes he's God and that the world is going to feel his power, like the winds of the hurricane. Essentially, he's the one in control, and everyone is going to fear him.
But the other way to think about it is that Light is swept up in the power, like the water is pulling him under. He isn't the hurricane itself, he's a victim to his own power-trip. This kinda comparison also works with Matsuda in the end of the story, as Matsuda flies into a rage and nearly kills Light himself.
Also something about "writing is a gun, I only have to aim" when Light is literally shot is kinda funny ngl. It turns out that the thing that can beat his metaphorical gun is... a gun.
LYRICS:
You say you're God of a trembling world
But you will have to pray
If he could be here, what would your father say?
"Oh, there are lines
That can't be crossed"
But he told you those words in vain
To you, the lives
That we all lost
Meant nothing!
The hardest rains
The coldest winds
But you are not a hurricane
You're just a man
With all his sins
On display
I'm gonna shake, I'm gonna scream
'Cause it's like I'm drowning in the hurricane!
Did you try to live on your own, when you burned down the house and home? Did you stand too close to the fire? When it's time to live and let die and you can't get another try. Something inside this heart has died, you're in ruins.
