The anthill leading into the earth mythically associates the ant with the ambivalent magic of psyche's instinctual, subterranean forces that wreak chaos as well as support order.

Actually I really like that Percy is Thalia's look-alike in the books with their matching black hair and green eyes and the ichor of such powerful gods running through their veins and their mirrored personalities. I like that Annabeth and Luke both looked at Percy and saw Thalia and I love thinking about what a sucker punch Percy must have felt like to the both of them.
#riordanverse#percy jackson#thalia grace#pjo#percy jackson series#annabeth chase#luke castellan#is rick going to forget and fuck up his own symbolism? tune in next year or whenever the fucking show comes out#he already did it once in the books when he forgot Thalia's eye color and changed it to blue#annabeth thought he was a child of zeus despite all evidence to the contrary because percy looks like thalia

He may be a God, but I am a Scientist
#I drew this without referencing anything but there's a voice in the back of my head thats like 'you've seen this exact drawing before'#and like I know I've seen the general visual concept around but I now I can't find specific examples and its itching in the back of my head#think I was also inspired by the arcane s2 opening. But if anyone's seen this exact concept potentially with?? the text too?? let me know#but Im not sure if its just my brain playing tricks on me. ANYWAY this was mostly practice for doing more interesting/symbolic rendering :3#gravity falls#young stanford pines#stanford pines#ford pines#fan art#fanart#GF bord#Bill is there in spirit#BoB#Book of Bill#GF fanart#painting#artists on tumblr#my art

if u think about it, Aaron being the one to kill drake but it only being possible because Neil brought a heavy racquet to thanksgiving is kinda symbolic of how Aaron is going to fix their relationship but Neil made it possible by giving him the tools to do so (even lowkey against Aaron’s will lmao). Nora Sakavic ur mind, ugh
#stop saying these books are badly written when they’re chock full of huge and complex metaphors and symbolism#u just can’t suspend ur disbelief for two goddamn seconds#aftg#all for the game#neil josten#nora sakavic#andrew minyard#aaron minyard#twinyards

My page for @sheikahzine; about Impaz's duty to her village, empty of people and full of memories.
[id in alt text]
#legend of zelda#loz#twilight princess#loz tp#i'm still reeling that someone sent me an ask about this one.. that they took the time to find my tumblr and tell me they liked it#it really meant a lot; thank you to anyone that stops to leave comments like that. they make me happy#but yeah! here's the usual symbolism ramble:#i thought it'd be cool to have the 'spirits' flowing one way and the cats walking through them the other way#to kinda show the difference in life inhabiting the village in the past and present#link's face is covered because impaz was just waiting for 'the hero' so his clothes are what matters; not his face#and it (hopefully) gives a surreal and intangible sense to 'the hero' she could only hope would actually show up#you can feel free to interpret the glowy blue sheikah as ghosts or just as memories of the past! i couldn't decide either way#the one on the bottom left is oot impa since she's implied to be the village founder. so i guess she would be a ghost actually?#fan art#my art#project stuff#and ahhh the book-- everyone's stuff is so beautiful!!#especially the writing. some of the fics made me really tear up and some were so fun and clever. i really love them#a lot of them captured the sheer burden of the role of the sheikah; all of the time and grief and doubt#i know i always say this stuff about every project but. the people i get to work with in these are truly so skilled every time

I love Hermes teehee also I decided that Athena should have the lightning scar from God Games so just pretend that I drew it on the other gf/epic drawings of her hehe
#doctorsiren#gravity falls#epic the musical#greek mythology#stanley pines#hermes#pallas athena#mythology falls au#gravity falls fanart#epic the musical fanart#digital art#my art#procreate#is it ironic to have a floating character holding a book titled ‘physics’#ALSO!!#apparently one of Hermes’ symbols / animals is the goat#and there IS always that goat (gompers?) hanging around the mystery shack#dw that’s just Hermes keeping an eye on things 😊🫶#also Hermes is a ‘dream god’ and I feel like that makes him a good parallel to bill bc both are trickster dream gods essentially

I randomly got dragged to Mormon church and met the illustrator for A Series of Unfortunate Events who is apparently a bishop at the church, and now we are Instagram mutuals. today was so bizarre
#dw im not converting to mormonism#the Mormon missionary that asked me to go was also a native American girl & if u know about this history between natives and mormons....uhhh#one of the priests also gave this bizarre speech about how illogical the book of mormon was and how joseph smith makes 0 sense#but he was like “but its supposed to be confusing so i still believe in this religion” ???#they were all super duper nice too but kind of in the customer service way. a mormon girl also complimented my friend's lesbian jewelry#lesbian jewlery as in it was literally two female symbols linked together#it was VERY obvious and we asked the girl why she liked it and she was like. “uhh i just like jewlery hehe!!!”
