Why are the core four all wearing blue and beige/yellow... Somethings going on. Where are their own individual colours? Where's Lucas's red and Dustin's green? Actually why are they on Will? Something something he's the soul of the group, he keeps them together

has anyone else made the connection between stars being sailors' guide and whenever javert talks about stars it's symbolic of the law for him. because it's what guides him and to him it is consistent and concrete. am i late to this realization or .
like in the brick before he kills himself when he looks into the seine he doesn't see the stars. he realized the law isn't actually as dependable as he thought, the thing he relied on his whole life was pulled out from under him

I have been thinking about Nara for TWO WEEKS NOW and I still don't think I have any clue what she's up to. Don't fucking trust her though. And I feel like none of my speculations hold any water. I am clawing at the walls.

His foot taps anxiously against the floor of the flower shop, eyes glazing over the beautiful bouquets and vibrant colors that splash under the fluorescent lights that crackle above his head. The smell of so many flowers is getting into his head, powdery and sweet, but the nausea brewing inside of him is not budging.
He messed up. He knows that.
He also knows he relies on the bet that you’ll accept flowers every time he messes up, which while seldom, happens more than he still would like.
You deserve the utmost love and respect. And he can’t stand that sometimes, he feels like he can’t give it to you and has to hope flowers will be enough for your trust again, like a bandaid on a scraped knee.
After this, he’ll run to the bakery for a pastry, wrapped in a little box, waiting for you to enjoy it-
What is he thinking, countless gifts won’t make up for it, for all he’s done. You’ll never forgive him, each bouquet and each slice of cake when he messes up surely is only driving you away, and he cards a hand through his blonde hair as he has a small, teeny freak out in front of the display.
He looks to the old man next to him who easily picks out a bouquet of assorted flowers with a predominantly purple color story. The old man sniffs them, and smiles, before sighing happily. He turns to Atsumu with small nod, “think she’ll like ‘em?”
Atsumu tenses up before offering the old man a small chuckle, “sure is one of the prettiest bouquets in here,” he encourages, and the man hums as he looks around the boquete for any imperfections in the petals. “She’ll be lucky to have them from ya, yessir.”
The man smiles, “no, son; I’m lucky to have her.” He sighs dreamily, “there isn’t enough bouquets in the world to show her how much she means to me.”
Atsumu freezes. For some reason, unbeknownst to him, a lump forms into his throat at the man’s words. He tries to swallow it thickly, keep his emotions at bay before he wails to this strange man about all the ways he’s hurt you over the years and how always, he’s never been able to fully forgive himself despite you assuring that you do.
This argument would be no different.
Atsumu nods his head in understanding, “I think you might be in the same boat as me,” he says, wondering if this man too, is making up for a mistake he made. If this man is trying to repent, and the first way to do it is to bring her flowers, a symbol of a love he’s determined to keep blooming, keep alive, keep beautiful.
But maybe, just maybe, he’s not relying on the fact that flowers are an apology, perhaps they’re being purchased just because, just to make you smile.
Perhaps Atsumu should start doing that for you. Just something nice.
Something to look forward to.
The man chuckles once more; it’s raspy, like perchance he’s one to indulge in a cigarette when the craving arises, but it’s comforting, and for the first time in hours, Atsumu feels a little more at ease.
“At least we’re in the boat, my friend,” the man says. Atsumu swallows thickly once more, but he flashes the man a comforted smile.
“You’re right. We sure are, sir.”
The man bows at the blonde, “you take care of yourself,” he says simply, before coolly turning to make his way to the registers. Atsumu looks back at the boquetes and grabs one that reminds him of you; bright and pristine, like bubbles on a warm day, a warm blanket at night. Like the movie you can repeat by heart by now, but he’ll still watch with you like it’s the first time.
He smiles, sniffles and blinks the sting in his waterline, thrilled to be in the boat with you.

OK! WE ARE BACK WITH MORE TPOT SPECULATIONS!!
spoilers for TPOT 15 specifically!!
post-credits, there is a clip of the victims one has taken traveling this.., blue field of yellow flowers
i first want to prove that this is most likely “one’s territory,” similar to how four and two have the EXIT and elimination place respectively.
Tumblr media
i mean, it has this space-related obelisk, for crying out loud. but WAIT there’s more!
Tumblr media
the kidnapped contestants find The Door. the design of this door will be important later, but for now i want to focus on where it leads!
Tumblr media
it leads to the equation playground. now, where else have we seen mysterious doors relating to an algebralien leading to the equation playground before?
Tumblr media
in the EXIT!
Tumblr media
which further makes me want to believe that if four has a door (haha. that rhymed) to the equation playground, then what are the odds that one ALSO has one?
but that raised another question as i was typing this out.., why DO the doors lead there?
because the equation playground is on this math planet (which is what i’ll be calling it for now) so the equation playground couldn’t be like. another universe of sorts
Tumblr media
and its clear that’s where the algebraliens live because in tpot 15, nine showed up to host instead of two.
i cant really figure out this one, as not much has been revealed about the math planet— or the algebraliens —to even know how these doors just magically lead there.
but TL;DR, the flower field in the post-credits scene has got to be related to one in some way, maybe an extension of her little deal-making room!
secondly, i now want to talk about The Door. take note of these diamond symbols on it
Tumblr media
now, it could all just be coincidence, but it’s weird that this isn’t the first time we’ve seen diamonds related to algebraliens..,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
these diamond symbols also appear around one and two’s little camera-powers!
Tumblr media
there is also a diamond-shaped magnet holding up four’s fridge photo here. at first i assumed it was just because it has four sides and four angles, like four, but im starting to kinda doubt myself
i feel like these might represent some kind of power??? perchance??? they wouldn’t have just made these diamond symbols so prevalent for nothing.
this is less of a theory and more of an assumption, but I believe the diamond symbols are connected to algebralien powers in some way.
anyway thats all for now . this a really stupid tangent i needed to go on but i think it’s going somewhere!!!

looking at Malleus outfit without the cape... I just realised how his whole outfit is a body suit(?) without the cape and gloves akjdja (this is not really confirmed yet so im patiently* waiting for the official design notes for glomas).
Although i think the puffy sleeves belongs to the main outfit as well--
Tumblr media Tumblr media
His horns looks so tall without the hat now😆
NO BUT UH... Thinking of this being an entire one piece of clothing makes me ILL-- Because you know what the back side of this outfit is⁉️⁉️⁉️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️✨✨✨
Tumblr media
ITS LITERALLY THIS, YOU ONLY NEED TO TIE THE LACING ON THE BACK TO BE PUT ON‼️‼️‼️
Why is he lowkey implied to enjoy wearing clothes that has only one way to be wore on akdjkss
Its like the same occurence on his Dorm Groovy, he isnt wearing anything in exception of the coat and like his outfit on Glorious Masquerade,,,, his dorm uniform literally has only one way to undress from which is the zipper on the left side...✨✨✨🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️
Tumblr media
so if perchance PERCHANCE we get into the situation where we might want to undress him... then its just in one swift process yk🧎‍♀️✨✨🛐
he is BEATING the allegations of victorian men wears multiple layers and thus difficult to undress--- He truly is the twst character that symbolizes 'Lust'🧎‍♀️💕💖

m.list CHAPTER I
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“You crave the throne don’t you?” she asked cocking her head and chin defiantly, her narrowed eyes fixed on him. “I want you too.” She chuckled at his response. “I'm merely a convenient excuse, am I not?” Y/N smiled too sweetly. “You’ll kill m—” he rose from his chair, not even letting her finish. Grabbing her by her shoulders in steel grip with a penetrating gaze.
The fragile cup slipped from her trembling hands and shattered on the floor, a nearby maid prepared to clean up the shattered shards. “Leave us!” he barked at the startled girl, his voice filled with anger. Y/N's eyes widened. He was even more aggressive and intimidating than before.
“I could—” his voice seething with fury, “— I could gather man and slaughter your entire clan keeping you as a trophy, a symbol of my power.” The threat hung in the air, and she could feel the tears welling up in her eyes. Fear was coursing through her, yet she resisted letting it control her.
“Matter of fact—” he continued, his grip tightening on her shoulders, eliciting a whimper of pain from her, “—you will be a symbol of the magnitude my power has, no matter if your father and family remain alive. So it’s on you. The fate of your kin rests in your hands. Their survival hinges on your decisions and how well you’ll cooperate.” He tightened his grip again, eliciting another whimper of pain from her.
“But I will never dispose of you.” he growled through gritted teeth, his tone a mixture of possessiveness and frustration. Gathering her courage, she managed to speak again, her voice trembling but filled with resolve.
“You cannot manipulate me like this. You think I’ll fall for this fucked up scheme? I have spent my entire life under the orders of others, forbidden from making choices for myself! And you have the audacity to use my innocence thinking I will willingly crawl into your bed and love you like a devoted lover.” Venom in her voice and the desperate tone made fall for her even more.
“I've only recently met you, so spare me your attempts to deceive me that you’re being my saviour.” Y/N has enough fire to still conquer and fight him back. “I refuse to be a passive participant in this game.” She shall not take it lying down.
“I'm giving you a choice—” he asserted, his voice laced with a dangerous undertone “—either you’ll walk down the aisle to me or there will be a bloodshed. I won’t send you back to your father nor will I relinquish you easily.” His eyes locked onto hers, and she could see the darkness consuming his pupils when anger consumed him.
“Call it love, obsession, or whatever you please, but no matter what imbecile attempts you make to fight or flee, we will inevitably end up together nonetheless," he declared with conviction. Was this the fate God had laid out for her? Her faith wavered, and if he didn't provide assistance soon she shall forbid him altogether.
“You just want to fuck m—” he cut her off abruptly, his voice low and seductive.
“I can either fuck you hard or I can make love to you,” said he, whilst setting her left arm free and sliding his to her thigh, caressing it sweetly.
Breathing started to become harder for Y/N. Unfamiliar sensations welled up in her lower belly whilst his touch was sending shivers through her body. Was this attraction? Excitement? Mother told her this is how love is supposed to feel like. Butterflies in her stomach. But she certainly wasn't in love with her captor.
He sensed her confusion and distress. Leaving her fall back to the chair. Finally letting her breathe freely. Yoongi sat back to his chair, collecting himself and his three peace suit he wears today.
“Loss of words, innit?” He chuckled.

Epic the Musical: Ithaca Saga Livestream spoilers ahead!
The deliberate choice of giving odysseus permanent red eyes in the animatic portions to symbolize him being a changed man from the losses and suffering he received from his travels AND IT DIDNT REVERT BACK WHEN HE KNOWS HES FINALLY HOME
I half expected it to change back to brown when Penelope sings "For You...". But no! It stays red till the end! Something something, the pain and trauma Ody has been through permanently leaving a mark on him that can't be easily fixed, perchance.
(Also TELEMACHUS WEARING ATHENA THEMED ARMOR HELLO!? I would love to see his side of the story in the Epic universe since his 'diplomatic mission' is a good chunk of the og Odyssey)

Some Fanart for https://archiveofourown.org/works/61679998 (which is so awesome sauce go read it) @kenshin1340 (not to sure how to tag people tbh but idk how else u would find this😭)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/61679998
There’s some symbolism which I will explain down below, and perchance a rant about how I adore how Lux is written and the idea of freedom that this fic is exploring
Tumblr media
Also the speed paint with the song
ANYWAYS, symbolism time!!
this piece was inspired by Eleanor Rigby, so the “church” Lux is buried in is the lecture room, bc this is Luxs place of sanctuary. Her freedom, though “nobody came” bc she feels so isolated from others, following things she doesn’t particularly like bc she knows she’ll never get that in the future. We see this in the party scene where she wins, but her smile doesn’t reach her eyes. She feels alone.
Than herself, she’s yellow, a color of happiness and freedom and light, like her name itself, but ironically, she is trapped, as is why her dress is so tight. She lays under a spotlight, the same way her family always has its eyes in her. And a incomplete halo of sorts of blood, she is so close to being free, but she can’t nor will be. The blood comes from what I had assumed to be a blunt force trauma injury, but I’m starting to believe it was a contraption and not a injury that left the scar.
Silco is the priest, alone as well, like Lux, he appears to be some sort of parallel (he was what she is) he sees her injury, as is shown with the red eye, and (most likely) sees it in himself(This is a prediction). He is difficult to see, blending into the background as unable to help. As for Lux to be free, she must figure out who will be free first, and allow herself TO be free (see rant).
Than Luxs name is wiped away, and Luxanna written in top. This is because “Lux” is the free version of “Luxanna” and Lux will die if she goes back, as with Pascal, who is also being wiped away. (Pascal would have worked better with the metaphor, however, having a variation of her name being wiped away and her full name ontop works better thematically)
And than Jinx’s signature at the bottom left, a reference to when she drew Lux in the first place. She’s drawing this because, like her father, she is observant (the both of them noticed her scar). Also, this was an accident, but to make a metaphor of it, her name is written like Roman numerals, similar to how VI’s name is. Which could be used as a sorta parallel between Garen and Vi (in some way?? I feel like Vi and Garen are going to be foils or parallels in some capacity)
Anyways, rant time:
The way this fic has handled the idea of freedom is AMAZING. Usually in Lux fics, Lux can’t be free due to external forces, which sometimes have become internal, and to fix the internal, she must fix the external. But here, the external forces are gone, she’s the one who controls her freedom. And despite having freedom, she truly, has none. Because freedom with a end is not freedom.
So to make up for the fact she will no longer have freedom, she does stuff to try to make up for it: for example, the tree fairy costume I don’t remember exactly what it was called (also like drinking and smoking weed). Stuff she knows she won’t be able to do later. But the thing is, she doesn’t like this stuff, in trying to be free, she’s trapped herself. And now she’s trapped in 2 ways, of her attempts to be free, and what’s been instilled inside her.
We see she never truly lets her guard drop (other than 1 time, but that was when she was with Jinx), she always has a set smile for everything, everything is planned out. Just as how she sees her life. Because of this, she can’t let herself be free, because she doesn’t even really know who SHE is. There’s Luxanna, her parents child. There’s Pascal, the free, but her name ISNT Pascal, it’s Lux(Luxanna as well). Pascal is free, but she isn’t really Pascal. She’s Lux, and Lux needs to be free. But who IS Lux?
And WOULDNT YOU KNOW IT?? that’s what Silcos speech WAS ABOUT. It was about how his class with allow his students to find themselves. AUGH ITS SO GOOD. And the fact that Luxs guard WENT DOWN when around Jinx, if just for a second, if just for a accident, and Jinx CAN AND DOES SEE IT. Oh my golly gee I love it when you can see the arc, this is so good,

*Looks at requests open*
so hello :D if it doesn't bother you could you write a fic about Hazard with a tattoo artist SO? perchance
and if you've already done that and I just haven't seen it sorry to bother you :(
Have a lovely day/night >:D
A/N: I unfortunately cannot find my Hazard x tattoo artist reader fic so I’ll give you some head cannons and to make up for it :]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hazard with a Tattoo artist S/O
First Meeting
- Hazard initially comes to your shop on a dare from a teammate, thinking he'll just walk out with something small and meaningless. Instead, your confident vibe catches him off guard.
- He’s immediately intrigued by the way you handle your tools, focused and meticulous, your passion evident in every stroke.
- Hazard prefers tattoos with meaning, and he secretly admires how you always encourage your clients to tell their stories. You help him design a piece that reflects his life as a protector and risk-taker.
- Over time, he ends up coming back for more—some matching pieces with friends, but also intricate designs that symbolize his personal growth.
- Hazard loves watching you work, your hands steady and precise, while you ramble about the inspirations behind certain designs or the wildest clients you've had.
- He offers to teach you how to shoot if you're interested, and the two of you bond over the shared precision required in both your crafts.
Flirting Through ink
- When Hazard finally works up the courage to ask you out, he jokingly suggests you tattoo the date on him so he won’t forget.
- You retaliate by teasing him about how much pain he’s willing to endure just to impress you.
- Hazard loves showing off the tattoos you’ve done for him, proudly telling everyone about your talent.
- In turn, you love hearing his stories about his missions and even sketch out ideas for tattoos inspired by his adventures.
Soft Moments
- Late nights in the shop are often spent with him sitting by your side, keeping you company while you finish a piece. He finds your focused expression adorable.
- On quieter days, you end up doodling small designs on his hands, promising to turn them into real tattoos someday.
- Though he’d never admit it outright, Hazard secretly loves the idea of having matching tattoos with you—something subtle but meaningful.
- When you finally suggest it, he plays it cool but can’t hide the soft stupid smile spreading across his face.

This photo from Pinterest provoked a thought in me:
Tumblr media
Light is traditionally characterized as good and celestial while darkness is not. And yet, people find refuge in the darkness, how it can be comforting, as an excess of searing light can be blinding. And that reminded me again of Rafal turning into a shadow and Rhian turning into light towards the beginning of Rise and the subversion, of course. (This is sort of an offshoot from my flame versus non-existent shadow/Pans/eternal youth symbolism post and its companion post.) And of how James reacted to each of the brothers' souls: the reassuring, probably less volatile, unchanging quality to Rafal's and the deep-rooted instability of Rhian's.
The reaching motion in the photo also reminded me of a line from TLEA and how Rhian was foiled in being both extreme, strait-laced Good and extremely and throughly Evil—partly because he expended too much effort every time, and never allowed himself the chance to inhabit a natural state of being.
"The more you chase the light, the more darkness you find."
This also happens to relate to an idea I once heard in a class, that people (in general, not the Woods denizens themselves necessarily) consider Goodness the default state of being because Evil cannot produce any Good of its own, nor can it be anything more than the hollow "ape of Good" (or God, in some contexts). All it can do is imitate Good because it lacks all that Good has (the heavenly virtues? Perchance, think: patience versus restlessness?). And thus, Evil is the perversion of being. It is (was, in Rhian's case, as he had no "healthy" outlets for emotional release or catharsis, unlike Rafal's seemingly instinctual violence) deprived of being and parasitic toward the Good.
Also, have more photos from my Pinterest because why not?

Tumblr media
you ever think about how imaginary tendrils fly out from under Mizi's hiding place and reach out to the only other person in the abyss. when she pushes against the glass, held back by the physical barrier but her intentions reach Sua, symbolized by the tendrils passing through the glass and into her world. reaching out for any kind of connection, any form of understanding. the tendrils manifest from Mizi's nest of blankets, a handmade attempt at self-comfort. reaching out to Sua and linking them together. Sua linked with her comfort, Sua linked with her meaning of "safe". she binds herself to Sua as a red string would bind two people together. you could even say that Mizi left her comfort zone and found a new source of comfort in Sua. perchance.
