In some matters, Kirell can be extremely socially unadapted. Even if we are talking about her own inner world.

thinking about love in danger days

this is part of my conspiracy theory that that album is aroallo, but i've always gotten the sense that romance and romantic attatchment is much less important to danger days than any other mcr record. with bullets&revenge it's quite obvious as the demolition lovers take up like, everything, and the black parade has a heavy focus on a romantic relationship as well. 

while i do think there are lines in it that are romantically coded, there is a definitive lack of emphasis on it- like it's nowhere in the plot at all. 

i do think danger days represents a very familial type of love though. while other albums visit a sense of "i want you, i need you, i miss you, i hate you,", this is more like…"i love you, i want to protect you, i'm sorry"

i find this especially strongly in s/c/a/r/e/c/r/o/w:

"Nevermind about the shape i'm in, I'll keep you safe tonight"

"love, love, love won't stop this bomb"

"run, run, bunny, run"

and other songs: 

"i'll find you when the sun goes black"

"just save yourself and i'll hold them back tonight"

"how long until we find our way in the dark and out of harm"

relevant things i can't cover with just quotes are planetary go, oft-theorized to be about party poison and kobra kid, as brothers, leaving battery city together; sing, about the killjoys' last message to the girl while saving her; goodnite dr. death, phrased as him saying goodnight to children; and summertime, which i can't discern the meaning of but seems more like a family type of love. 

i think it makes sense that danger days is like this, seeing as it features main characters that take care of a child main character as opposed to main characters that love other main characters of the same age/ability. 

another thing i noticed while re-listening to the more sentimental songs for this essay is that there's just a distinctly different vibe to it. So much of it is focused around wanting to protect people, keep them safe and out of danger (<- ha that's the name of the album) and loved. i think this also makes sense, because the killjoys live a very, well, dangerous life without much security, and they'd want to provide what they lack the most. another semi-related thing i noticed is just how much of an emphasis there is on childhood in this album. i feel like there's a vibe of youth or teen-hood throughout the earlier ones, but this is just VERY strongly about kids. again this makes sense cause not only are the killjoys teenagers (a type of kid!) they also have a proper little kid to watch. 

also, i wonder how much of this stuff was due to gerard becoming a parent. just something to think about

finding confirmation that kirell was indeed 24 in the original game, and her being a high schooler when she died in argo's choice was a bizarre retcon, is Validating for a number of reasons (i KNEW she was a depressed mafia NEET. i FUCKIN knew it). it also explains philio's complete and total nonexistence in AC, because i'm pretty sure they realized what an Incredibly bad look their previously established relationship would be, and i am now ten times more irritated about that than ever lmao

[ale-draws-stuff]

I still think of them once in a while <3

where it started

how it's going

this au is over 2 years old and have been developing since then. i hope i can post it in the format of animations/pmvs some day...

[transbutchblues]

i just lost a point on my philosophy test because i said φιλία means friendship and the teacher wanted us to say it meant reception/hospitality ?? that’s ζένια wtf. yes they’re linked because strangers/xenoi need to be considered and welcomed as friends/philioi but still. am i wrong or is she just weird

A Prayer of Travel for Lord Hermes

Hear me, Lord Hermes

Blessed son of Zeus and Maia

He who stole Apollon’s cattle

He who invented the lyre

He who aided great Perseus in his defeat of the gorgon, Medusa

I offer you this morning coffee, a gift of energy and comfort

And I beseech you,

Oh verdant god of journeys and travelers

Be with me today

Bring me joy in my travels and protect me from harm

Let me show those around me the kindness and patience they deserve

Let there be joy in those around me as we traverse the skies

I implore you, and your honorable mother

The oread nymph, Lady Maia

Please, soothe the children flying today

Show them the joys of travel and protect them from fear

Oh Hermes Philios

Great friend of man

Accept these honors, and be with me

Now - and all the days of my life

Do ut Des

- Aön Re

i love nemona's name so much

she is named after nemophilas which is a very pretty flower and also means woodland loving (you get woodland from νέμος or nemos and get loving from philio) and im taking this as fuel for me being a nemona sprigatito truther

there is also nemo which means nobody which HURTS ME along with nemona being an anagram of no name and also point nemo which is "the loneliest place on earth" because it's the furthest place from land on the planet

and her story is about loneliness and im gonna throw up

her spanish name is less interesting to me than nemona and nemo but mencia is suuuch a pretty name and is also a kind of wine grape!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone~

I don’t know if I’ll have time to finish the mini-comic about my precious ones today, but I’ll try very hard)

I really appreciate the holiday itself. Love is a wonderful feeling in almost any of its variations and this is a good opportunity to remind close ones, friends and partners of your affection for them. Such opportunities are worth taking advantage of.

“We need to talk about the quipping.”

The adventurers sat around the tavern table, by the solitary space heater that sat in the fireplace, having their customary debrief.

“Yeah, I know it wasn’t my best.” Said the Philio-Chirurgeon. “But I think my ‘What doesn’t kill you makes you longer’ line was strong, given the Intersection Demons’ spatial distortion thingy.”

“I just think that, maybe,” sighed the Trash Druid, “battlefield surgery is not the time to be rehearsing your tight five.”

“Laughter is good for healing! And Khalida needed all the healing she could get.” The Chirurgeon gestured to the large woman who somehow made bandages accessorise perfectly with formal kevlar. “And I did get the laugh.”

“Oh yeah.” The Combat Adjuster said, deadpan, gesturing down to her injury. “I was in *stitches*.”

honestly i think one of the reasons phirell changed my brain chemistry is that on my first playthrough i started shipping them as soon as he showed up, half out of spite for Oh God Not the Edgy Forced Het Ship Tease and half out of spite for knowing characters like philio are never involved in canon ships, only to get completely poleaxed by him being THE main subtextual love interest while kirell/aam is significantly more ambiguous once you get past balaam's surface-level performance. literally one of the potential last questions on his section of charon's interview--which you only find out is the case on your second playthrough--makes him happy if you say you're fine with just living out your life, and even happier if you say you're open to starting a family. when i tell you i was going insane

Redrew this silly little thing, they're so cute I love them

The way my shaky-ass hands didnt want me to take a picture of this one 😔

[theoxenia]

Zeus guarantees all bonds of friendship as Zeus Philios and, above all, these inter-state bonds, as a sort of religious Red Cross. Nausicaa knows that ‘All xenoi and beggars are from Zeus’, a line which Odysseus himself picks up at 14.251 and which, a millennium later, was a favourite line of the pagan emperor Julian when he hammered home the point that pagans should not leave Christians a monopoly on charity. Xenia is the relationship of reciprocal hospitality between persons of different states, and both parties are known as a xenos, regardless of who is the host and who the guest on any particular occasion. To ask which is the guest is like asking which of two friends is the recipient of a good turn. Zeus Xenios, then, enforces respect for these relationships. This is why Nausicaa’s statement is tinged with the worry that the xenos may be a god in disguise, inspecting the earth, precisely as we see at Odyssey 17.485–7 when there is talk of ‘gods in the form of foreign xenoi’.
