#the symbolism is certainly there

[shuffleoflove]

one day i want to make a really in-depth post about the film posters on tao's wall but for now i just wanna point out that the in the mood for love poster was NOT there in season 1 and that film is notoriously about falling in love and the pain of loss... jesus christ tao that's the one thing you're sensitive about

I'm not explaining why re-imagining characters as POC is not the same as white-washing, here of all places should fucking understand.

I get that calling white lotus lbh a sticky little 'sheep' is a canon translation and stuck in the fandom now anyway, but I do feel the intended spirit of the original word wasn't the sheeple/dumb herd animal that's more common in the western world, but instead something actually conveying sweetness, innocence, purity and youth - lamb.

Famous for being utterly adorable and following around their mothers, gambolling in sunny meadows, curly white wool shining.

And NOW we can talk about black sheep/wolf in sheep's clothing metaphors.

teen wolf meme: [3/5] motifs -> resurrection

It's different now. I think dying did something to him. It did something to me, too. But none of it was good.

{What will it be? It's your choice.}

Inspired from this fic, this scene would be in chapter 13, below the cut is some of the writing that inspired this :D

arcane you soooo badly want to subvert our expectations and not kill off isha you know it would be so cheap

People are still truly out here asking their fiction to act as models for real life instead of letting them be symbolic. Like, yes, we can def add to our realistic representations of people's lived experiences of poverty and queerness, but maybe the campy ghost show isn't the best example to ignite your criticisms about realism???

Eye of Sauron Vibes?

Perhaps representing Hemlock's use of the operative as 'eyes and ears.' Perhaps it's more like a goggle lens, representing CX-2's intelligence and power. Don't we know someone else who is very intelligent and kind of overpowered and has eyes that are often alluded to? 🤔 Not over this dude until we find out who it is and if it's who I think it is, I will never be over him.

do u think aubrey from omori gets religious guilt. i do not think about her canonically being christian a lot because i forgot about it but with the whole church fight scene and everything woah that is surely something that happensyeah... i wonder what her take on it would be. like. if she's fully into the faith or if she goes out of desperation for some semblance of a support system. oh oh oh also veering away from aubrey, i think basil would be atheist 100%. he'd probably be the type to look at all of the tragedy in his life and have the mindset of god not being real/not caring about him if he is

Day 520

Ok i finally succumbed to the brainrot and threw Pearl into FMA because. because.

yeah anyways I wanted to focus more on her terraforming skills and named her the Shifting Earth Alchemist! She specializes in earth alchemy and has exceptional range with her transmutations, so she's able to transmute large plots of land at a time. Her transmutation circles are made up mostly of the Earth symbols and also a bit of water, and theyre tattooed onto her palms. She also has little earth symbols tattooed onto her face because. I needed to keep the little markings i give her somehow. They dont do anything except look kinda cool

I appreciate that this is one of the few moments where Izuku isn't prioritizing someone else's needs above his own.

He acknowledged Bakugou wanted to vent, but above anything else Izuku wanted to beat him. He wasn't pulling punches in this supposedly purposeless fight either. Dude was planning to kick Bakugou in the head with the brand new 8% Full Cowling that he had never used on a person before. He wasn't playing around.

Izuku's motivation was entirely about his own goals here. What it came down to was "All Might chose me as his successor so I must win to prove myself and overcome this wall in front of me". Izuku believed Bakugou was one of the hurdles he must overcome in his path to become the next symbol.

It's one of a handful of moments where Izuku doesn't go out of his way to humanize his opponent, and really the only time he doesn't when his opponent was another hero hopeful. Whether that's because of the bad blood Bakugou caused between them over a decade, the inherent objectification in viewing a person primarily as a symbol, or some combination of the two, it's an interesting moment of characterization for Izuku.

I like Jaime appears as face glowing with light in Bran's dream and then a lot of Bran's arc is him using darkness as a tool to hide and develop his powers

I don't think it's a bad thing for Bran's arc, I like how GRRM is trying to subvert the light=good darkness=bad trope and show it's more complicated than that and this is also obviously shown with the Kingsguard wearing bright white armor but obviously not being the super honorable knights everyone thinks they are.

It had started because some people had misheard something Phantom said. One singular letter was responsible for the mess he was in right now.

They thought Phantom had said "Dad"

He had not, not this time at least, he was, admittedly, rather prone to accidentally calling Jack "Dad" because the man actually was. Though those moments were nothing compared to this.

It had spread like wildfire throughout the school, and then the city as a whole. Phantom had a dad, a dad who was visiting next week. That's what they knew, and theories and questions were already abound. Was Phantom's dad alive? Or dead too? What was their relationship like? Was this mysterious dad Phantom's blood (ectoplasm?) father? Or was Phantom adopted? How similar were they?

Dan just laughed at Danny over the phone when he tried explaining the situation to his older self before he came by to visit.
