There are holes in her which anyone can fill. But what of the emptiness that she feels within herself, the deep hollowness that mysteriously appears from nowhere and overwhelms her so much that she's no longer herself - what have you done to fill that emptiness, what have you done to efface that feeling of hollowness in her? A dangling thing between your legs barely makes you a man. There are far greater things to be accomplished: water her roots so well, that she begins to bloom once again - soul first, body later...

“Come back for me, Edward.”

You’ve heard of sleep paralysis demon jfj, now get ready for: sleep paralysis demon Jopson!!

Jopson doesn’t know it was Ned who (by extent) gave the order to abandon him and the other sick ones, but Ned himself sure as hell does and his lead poisoned conscience wont let him sleep because of that :)

In The Iliad, Diomedes is able to fight & injure both Aphrodite and Ares with Athena's help/at Athena's command.

In Epic, Odysseus is only able to "defeat" one immortal, and that's Circe, and only with Hermes' explicit divine assistance.

Except... He did actually receive another godly order. Another god made a demand of him; Poseidon explicitly told him to become more Ruthless. You could argue it was a divine command, intentional or not.

...I joked about him being a paladin last night, but I do think there's power in stories when it comes to oaths, and what the gods tell you to do, tell you to be.

Odysseus followed through with Poseidon's demands, and he was rewarded for it, even if perhaps not the way Poseidon would have appreciated.

xxxHolic Chapter 84!

All aboard the Spooky Yuuko Lifestyle!

I’m living for this. I’m also living for those shoes. What are those, Yuuko. What are they. 

But that aside we love appreciate the most extravagant fashion possible in this world or the next.

And then the imagery.

Yuuko poised gracefully in the largest bird cage you’ve ever seen. The shadow in the background shows the cage is completely empty. 

The cage is held up by a wing. The wing is directly in line with the bell in Yuuko’s hand. They are not the same shape. 

The cage is held up by a curling hook. It’s directly in line with another big curl that Yuuko is sitting on. They aren’t the same shape either.  

Yuuko is dressed in the most amazing style that seems to be based on a phoenix, or a peacock. She’s also just… sitting right next to one. Which she completely outshines in every way. 

Yuuko holds the bell out behind her, right through the bars, as if she could have left at any time - or as if her power could never be restricted to the cage. Or if she was never actually in the cage at all. 

It’s very much like those birds that Watanuki delivered in a much earlier chapter, but the other way around - they were only visible as shadows, but here Yuuko is only visible without a shadow.

It’s also very much like the Birdcage kingdom, which also featured giant cages and a bell that I can't quite remember the details of but suddenly want to rewatch very badly.

Like Watanuki’s previous cover, it’s playing with ideas of being between existence and non-existence, of being sometimes visible but not always, of being between the real and the imitation, of having a sort of freedom but also being contained, of being sort of brought back from the dead but stuck half way back to reality - and being on the verge of bringing it all crashing down. 

It’s exactly what you’d expect from Yuuko!
