#the guiding light

[winterinhimring]

So I recently saw a post with a screencap of this scene in it:

And good heavens. Is this not a perfect visual metaphor of Obi-Wan's role in the entire Star Wars universe? Supporting the wounded Light, unable to stop her from dying, but still steadfastly good and patient up to and through the darkest hour, waiting (though he doesn't know it, yet) for that Light to be reborn in a padawan?

Soap opera “The Guiding Light” premiered on CBS Television on June 30, 1952. The series, created by Irna Phillips and Emmons Carlson, began as an NBC Radio serial 1937 and moved to CBS Radio in 1947 before moving to television.

The image of the helmet left on the ground is living rent free in my brain

Partly because the visor is yellow tinted and that stood out to me (yellow is the colour of communication!) for a variety of reasons, but mostly because it shows the level of detail the show goes into. Acrylic or Perspex changes colour under high voltage because of the electrons (don’t ask me to explain how I’m not a scientist I’ve just seen it done!!) - it goes a yellowish green - just like the visor on Bucks helmet!!

But also because the light is still on.

If Buck were going to die permenantly (which we all know doesn’t happen) then that light would have been symbolically out - it would’ve been a helmet in the ground in the rain and that’s it.

But instead we have light - a feeble beam - but light - symbolic of Bucks life force - still there but weak and pointing in the direction the ambulance drove off in!

I like the idea that the guiding light would be absolutely revolted at the thought of a human being dating an entity. Like “EWWW THEY’RE TRYING TO KILL YOU.” Maybe it would even abandon you at the first sign of you fraternizing with the entities a bit too closely. Or..well- maybe put you at the wrong end of a certain sword.

in a seperate post because i honestly don't consider guiding light an entity or anything but here's my guiding light design (i totally didn't forget until now noooo totally on purpose!!)

[the-world-of-enterra]

Decided to update Vaesa’s ref. Her design didn’t change MUCH, but I wanted the round marks on her bottom wings as well, added a couple markings, and since she’s covered in thick fluff, I don’t show the separation of her plates other than on her moth butt tail. The biggest change in this ref is her expression. I made her look a lot more sad, and made the sigil of He Who Sees All a little more obvious. I also upped her fluff game a little.
