as much as I love batgirl 2024, I have to admit the lack of Barbara Gordon mentions in the whole series so far, especially with the first arc having such a big theme of motherhood/daughterhood and the things that comes with it, makes me soo sad. Barbara was the first person Cass actually considered as a mother! Barbara, although she wasn’t the best at it at first, truly did try to understand and love Cass unconditionally even when she was separated from the Bat mantle! And that panel where Cass overhears Barbara tell Dick that she doesn’t know how to really care for Cass could’ve been the perfect parallel to the whole “is a Mother just being connected by blood? No, Something more is owed/Being a daughter is more than being connected by blood” lines that Cass says in the last (current) issue because Barbara, though she did not physically bring Cass into this world, has sacrificed SO much for her, and in return Cass gave so much back.
#don’t get me wrong I love Cass and Shiva’s dynamic and how it is being explored.#however I DO think you can make an excellent story about the two and their dynamic without Shiva taking a traditional ‘caring’ mother role-#-she realistically did not want or care for at least since after Caroline-and essentially Shiva’s old life and softness-died#although I guess you could say that since Shiva is both reminded of her lost softness and Caroline through Cass-#-Cass symbolizes Shiva’s softness and Caroline reborn especially considering Shiva literally points this out.#I think Shiva and even Cass certainly ‘sacrificed’ for each other and Shiva does care for Cass-#-but it’s not really in motherhood hence Shiva is not ‘soft’ enough for that. And it is not sisterhood-#-because Shiva sees way too much of herself in Cass (i.e “im an open wound” line) so that Shiva cannot fully project Caroline onto Cass.#I would say it is something between those lines. But care and fondness/longing for something lost long ago does not equal motherhood to me.#anyways sorry!! back to babs and cass <3#mainly referring to that issue where Barbara says to Cass “People will forget about me [as batgirl] and that’s ok”-#while essentially handing Cass the title as Batgirl.#Barbara sacrificed the mantle she so loved-the mantle she was angry and devastated and overjoyed and is/was a part of her-#because Barbara believed in Cass and her spirit more than hers. more than anyone’s.#Barbara gave Cass giant leather wings to take to the sky with. SHE LOVES HER SO SO MUCH SHSHDHSKSMSN#Barbara wanted Cass to experience the same joy and freedom she got out of being Batgirl. and in response Cass states-#-“I will never be as good as you” because Barbara IS batgirl still in spirit. And as far as Cass was concerned she will never be as good-#-she will never be as self sacrificing as Barbara no matter how many bullets Cass takes for people.#AND THIS IS SUCH A BIG AREA OF CONFLICT BECAUSE BABS WANTS CASS TO BE HER OWN PERSON SO BAD#SHE WANTS TO LEARN WHAT CASS LOVES AND WHAT CASS SMILES AT SO SHE CAN MAKE CASS SMILE ALL THE TIME#SHE WANTS CASS TO BE MORE THAN BATGIRL BUT ALL CASS WANTS IS TO BE BATGIRL#WHICH IN TURN MAKES CASS WANT TO BE MORE LIKE BARBARA-OR ESSENTIALLY MORE UNLIKE HERSELF-#WHICH MAKES BABS INCREASINGLY MORE DESPERATE TO LEARN ABOUT AND LOVE AND SEPERATE HERSELF FROM CASS-#WHICH THEN MAKES CASS SO DEVASTATED BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO BE LIKE THE PERSON WHO ESSENTIALLY BIRTHED HER. AUAGHSHSJSBDN#yes. you understand.#anyways….idk being connected by mutual sacrifice and mutual love. THAT is the mother and daughter relationship that BG24 was getting at!!!!#this is where I shamelessly endorse CassCainMainly and their meta posts on Babs and Cass btw <333#cassandra cain#barbara gordon#lady shiva

"I can be a creator, the creator. It has happened before, and it will happen again, many times."
— Notes on poem 16, This House of Dreams
#alan wake 2#alan wake#I'm late to post this but thought I'd share it outside the Remedy server :-)#Tried to mix elements of Art Deco with symbolism from depictions of the Nataraja#Since I've always thought that the dance relates to Alan's predicament as a creator embroiled within his own creation kind of well + etc.#The scratched name at the bottom is supposed to be Scratch as Apasmara but it looks like a label lmao#Tried to forgo the many arms#But the hands still try to get at that simultaneous concealing & revealing#I don't know lmao I am certainly being pretentious. I think I would like to remake this sometime.#I like to think that in being limited to a silhouette there's little distinction between Wake/Zane. Ah the excuses I make for my laziness#Okayokay I'll stop haha

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.
#Picturing Sqq sweetly calling lbh a little lamb 🥺#Him calling lbh a sheep never felt quite right but LAMB???#And lbh following him around all bright and gangly and moon eyed ToT#Did you know the phrase originates from the wool of black sheep being much harder to dye and thus being undesirable in the wool industry?#That's why sheep are white and not like. Tan or brown or w/e like more natural colours.#But the black fur gene still pops up sometimes so you get white wool parents and siblings and a tiny black lamb trotting along#Who's wool you can never sell and who can't risk having offspring of their own#Also where the baa baa black sheep rhyme comes from! The wool was often sold at a very cheap price because it was so undesirable!#Ngl if someone called me their lamb idk what I'd do. Something desperate for sure#Theyre also sometimes a symbol for Jesus especially around Easter. So. That's a. Thing. That Sqq would most certainly read far too deep int#svsss#mxtx svsss#scum villain#luo binghe#luo bingge#luo bingmei#scum villain's self saving system#scum system#bingqiu#bingyuan#Idk but considering I'm talking about their pet names I'll count it#Gosh lbh calling Sqq shepherd in response... Crook around his neck metaphor I'll go wherever you lead us my guiding star mmm#Sleepy? Yes. Right? Also yes

how much have the crows actually been sanitized outside of the very narrow view you get of them both in place and in time in veilguard, and how much is caterina deliberately putting her most presentable and pr friendly foot forward because she needs HELP with both the grandson and the antaam situations and is already playing from a weakened overwhelmed position. is she going to show off all the dirty laundry the crows undeniably have in front of the people she's courting for an alliance? is rook going to be looking a gift crow in the beak too closely when help is offered, go digging through that laundry basket on their own initiative on principle, knowing what you might find further down in it isn't pretty and might still be sharp, while the world is burning? is it entirely coincidental that the people caterina picks to interact with you most is teia -- the youngest, most charismatic and notably most weirdly idealistic of the talons -- and viago -- who is perhaps none of these things naturally but is dependable and logical and sharp and also down so cataclysmically bad for teia that when she runs in shouting 'TEIA YES!!! >:D' he sighs with longsuffering resignation and goes '...viago also yes. I suppose. under duress, let the record note' and follows.
surely parts of how each house functions would be left largely up to the individual talons, right? as long as they produce crows capable of doing the job and keeping up with the competition, I doubt the first talon micromanages how they get there (...for good or ill. lots of dead fledglings buried under that laissez faire policy, probably). they're very far away from a monolithic structure, they're constantly competing merchant houses/families striving to gain the upper hand held in check by little except 'if enough of the other houses shake hands and gang up on us for pushing our luck we're fucked, so don't push it too far'. like I believe lucanis says at one point, even calling them an organization is stretching the definition to a breaking point in some ways lol this is fully herding cats territory. all this to say that in this game we spend most of our time in teia's house. andarateia cantori, of the firm genuine conviction recognized as mildly unhinged by all the other talons that the crows truly are her family, who loves them with her whole unstoppable foolhardy thinks-she-will-die-young-and-live-eternally-in-song-and-story heart for it. teia, who won't leave the cantori diamond even to go home to sleep because she doesn't want the fledglings to have to see the place empty. do I think the way teia cantori would run her house is indicative of the average experience of being trained as and living as a crow? no. obviously. why are people seeming to assume that so immediately? sometimes I do wonder if I'm going insane.
between that and the antaam situation -- which turns the romanticized image antiva already is eager to reach for with the crows (the same way european literary tradition through the ages sure LOVES a knight, no matter what knights were actually like when you had one kicking around in real life) into an effective and recognizable symbol of resistance from an outside force (at least these awful little guys are home grown in a way we're kind of proud of despite it all and also they are deeply inescapably cool)... perhaps indeed a symbol of resistance and freedom that momentarily covers for a multitude of sins. I don't think we need to draw definitive conclusions about what the crows are like universially, historically or in different contexts from what we see in veilguard. sort of like the british in the pop cultural understanding being 'the good guys' when we think about WW2, and the sheer ludicrousness of that characterization of the british empire seen in any other context or angle lmao. I DO think there are some genuine writerly '*handwaves established ugliness aside aggressively* just uuuuuh don't worry about it! not important right now! you can feel at least ok hanging out with the cool theater kids but with murder they're like. comparatively chill in this context it's fine and they're fun' going on too. and you know what. they are fun. invenci is unfortunately objectively right, but the crows are sooo much more fun. and in fiction land that trumps all. absolutely baffling writing choice when you read through to the political/ideological conclusion that's reached from it of course (sort of accidentally? I think???), but would it really be a bioware game without a few of those. it's how you know you're home (derogatory and affectionate)
in short there are writing problems by god are there real problems here. obviously. and it'd take smarter and more knowledgeable people than me to properly untangle all of that. glorifying organized crime is a time honoured tradition in fiction that perhaps... shouldn't be quite so much and is uh risky, you're always playing with fire there. but I frankly don't think the 'de-edgeifying' for lack of a better term is that much of an inescapable one or that it erases what we knew of the crows before, we're just getting the angle on them in one very specific time and place in history and with specific individuals involved setting the tone. eight little talons killing off most of the established leadership beforehand so it's mostly only teia and viago who get to keep their full power base (even caterina and the dellamortes takes some losses in the apparent death of lucanis before the start of the game) probably figures into that somewhere too lol
#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#andarateia cantori#viago de riva#teia x viago#the antivan crows#people's 'RETCON!!!!' reflex seems to me. sometimes a bit overactive. there are other ways to read what's going on#why would the crows be presented in a more beneficial light while they're the main resistance group and symbol in an occupied city?#are there perhaps biases this situation and the people involved might encourage in-universe.#listen I'm sure they'll be back to the horrors and backstabbing in no time but for that shining moment in history they're uh.#well sort of the good guys. certainly the lesser of two evils which is sometimes the best you get.#I suspect there's going to be a bit of a bloodbath afterwards once all the houses realize they could just go ham lol

question about the extent of the hana hana no mi's capabilities
[ID: Nami holds Usopp in her arms while he has a gaping hole in his chest. Usopp wearily says: "Nami, level with me, am I going to make it?" Nami, panicked, responds: "Uh. Don't think about it too much." After smearing hand blood on Nami's face, new skin suddenly forms over Usopp's wound with a few pink flower petals floating down from the area. They both say "What." in unison. Usopp says on the spot: "Perdoname, I was pretending to not have regenerative powers, which I have btw, because if the enemy knows about my powers they might take advantage of that knowledge." Nami looks behind her to see Robin doing a thumbs up with a pained expression while holding her other hand up in the I'm using my powers position. /END ID]
#this was in my wips for like 3 months because i couldnt figure out how to make it funny looking so i gave up#one piece#nami#usopp#2024#described#elaborating on this actually:#im like 99% sure she cannot make clone blood or if temporarily giving someone extra blood until they can properly get a blood transfusion#would like . be useful (anime logic though so idk) but im just saying usopp and robin share a blood type so she could certainly try#fonts used: segoe UI symbol (?)#nico robin

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.
#teen wolf#lydia martin#kate argent#tracy stewart#scott mccall#peter hale#jackson whittemore#derek hale#hayden romero#twedit#twgifs#mine#my gifs#twmeme#yes i'm aware that it can definitely be argued whether resurrection is a motif in teen wolf or just a recurring plot device#and while it's certainly not a symbolic motif like fire and water was previously#the way it's utilized within the show does make me read it moreso as a motif than just plot#like water it's used to communicate an internal change but the ways it differs from water is that it usually occurs at the end of a#narrative arc whereas water typically appears at the beginnings#water is used to signify a character's beginning descent into something new and the resurrection is once that change is completed#jackson's arc in season two is started with his submersion in water and it's ended with his resurrection#and lydia's arc in eichen house in 5b is much the same with her in the river in her mind at the beginning and then her dying and coming bac#at the animal clinic#even lydia's arc in season two can be read within these parameters#it begins with her in the hospital shower as she digs hair out of the water and ends when she resurrects peter#so while yes there is a reversal there and lydia isn't the subject of the resurrection she is the agent of it#which honestly the same can be said for theo in 5a#basically what i'm getting at here is that my reading of the resurrections in teen wolf as a motif is very valid and you should all agree#also i completely forgot about jackson's resurrection until i was literally writing these tags so i had to go back and make a gif for that

hm..... pomni taking peoples hand as a repeating image in the show..... happens in ep 1, with ragatha, its kinda evoked with her reaching for the final exit door, ep 2 is pretty blatant with it i dont need to say anything else on that, and in episode 3 the scene with kinger..... episode 4 doesnt have anything with this i dont think (i COULD technically say her raising her hand at the beginning of the ep but that is a MASSIVE stretch and doesnt fit with what the other instances seem to be representing. her waving at gummigoo MAYBE but the image just really isnt present in the episode, looking at it realistically) but im thinking about this...... cus i feel like its probably notable in the dream sequence in ep 2 that its her arm that gets all fucked up
#tadc#i need to look thru all these and note which of her hands it is these happen w...#i ALSO still need to make my color theory and my door theory#well... less of a theory#more me overanalyzing specific repeated images in the show for possible motifs HAHA#its not really theories... but it is fun!#also my color thing has to do w the idea that diff colors in the show represent different things#i think red blue and green in particular are EXTREMELY important#it feels intentional that the only of the main cast with green as a constant in their design is caine and gummigoo...#and now that i think abt it caines blue eye lines up with ragathas button eye#PLUS . pomnis eyes being red and blue...#i think blue has to do w the game and green has to do w... smth?#i gotta think on it more#and the door thing is that like#i feel like doors are a repeating image in the show too#all the diff doors pomni opens trying to find caine. the exit doors. the bedroom doors (and pomni opening hers to ragatha).#the normal and scary doors. the gate to the dumbwaiter. the door out of the hall of the damned. the door to zoobles room#the front door of spudsys. (the lack of doors in wherever it is jax goes). the door out of caines office#theres probably a case for the portals to the adventures being related butttt waves hand#look doors are normal in fiction doors are a normal thing but LOOK. if youre gonna spend the whole pilot talking about doors#and then make it a big component of ep 3#im gonna get suspicious that youre using it as a symbol for smth ok....#(or repeatedly showing visuals of pomnis hand reaching other ppls hands)#(maybe the hole to the basement too but thatsss more of a stretch. but its certainly an entryway)#(smth smth its not shown visually in ep 4 because it happens more explictitly than in other eps. maybe?)#(...or maybe ep 3 was supposed to be the last usage of that imagery buuuut i dont think so i think itll come back... eventually. maybe ep 9#the door to spudsys gets a special shoutout bc like#i feel like the show is very obviously doing some things when it shows pomni behind it as it gets closed#something something. gummigoo is content and can 'leave' and she cant and shes accepting that#i mean i think shes given up on going home by this ep so i feel like its more of like. a letting go of gummigoo

god speaking of ja'marr buying gifts for people he loves....did we all see those photos of the guys who broke into joe's house wearing all his jewelry :( and in one of them one of the guys has the grills that ja'marr bought him in his mouth :( :( awful awful awful
#like the rage and sadness and protectiveness i felt seeing that#and i'm not even ACTUALLY involved#do we think ja'marr saw that and saw fucking red??#it's like yay joe's stuff got recovered#but it's all gotta be tainted now surely :(#or i dunno maybe he can compartmentalize#and see like those grills as a symbol of the super bowl and his and ja'marr's relationship and all that#but i'd just see that stranger with them in his mouth again and again#sigh#hopefully ja'marr buys joe some new ones! untainted! better ones even (he certainly is about to be much richer)#but yeah that shit broke my heart tbh!

Happy birthday Nagito, you're a horse now
So I've had a couple designs hanging around unfinished. Since it's a certain lucky disaster's birthday today, I figured now as good a time to post these as any! You can consider these guest stars or background ponies in the AU, mostly just doing these for fun and not necessarily thinking about how they'd fit into the AU too much since it's DRA focused and all.
First up, Fleeting Fortune!
I'll keep this short, the main thing of note is his cutie mark; he's 'cursed' in a similar way to the other lucky pony I designed and has some wheel of fortune elements. I imagined something like his coat slowly bleaching more and more after getting his cutie mark. Also, he has a bit of an interesting cutie mark, as it changes depending on which part of the luck cycle he's in. The arrow will spin to the next section to indicate the flow of either bad or good fortune, over and over, as the cycle continues.
Next we have some mysterious guest background ponies... A griffon and an earth pony. you know what, let's play a game. If people can guess who they are without me naming them, I'll know I did a good job haha.
It was actually pretty tough coming up with color palettes for these two, especially our griffon friend here. I would also like everyone to know that this griffon is a blend of a tiger and a hoopoe bird. The hoopoe bird is mostly just because they look cool, fit the aesthetic, and helped me make a somewhat presentable mohawk. But the tiger bits were a must. Plus some diamonds for good measure. As for our earth pony, this is the first time I've ever drawn dreads on a pony, so that was fun haha. I did work a little off of Tree Hugger's hair a bit for that. Also, I imagine this earth pony as being a bit scruffy and I almost went for a goat hybrid but I ended up settling on just a little bit of bearding and fluff instead of the whole cloven hooves and horns thing haha.
Anyways, hope you're all doing good out there! The pony train continues.
#enquire's dra ponies#nagito komaeda#happy birthday nagito komaeda#enquire art#mlp crossover#mlp fim#my little pony#mlp art#guys designing cutie marks is either the best thing ever and I feel super clever and come up with great symbols and ideas#or its the absolute hardest part and I either cant think of anything or only the most basic of concepts lol#don't expect a bunch of non-another ponies in the future though#but uh#hi main series fanbase how are we#I still love nagito#been one of my canon/mainline DR favs ever since I first experienced sdr2#... like a decade ago#everytime i remember how old v3 and sdr2 are now it's certainly something. I feel old. /silly#high speeds#mondo owada#yasuhiro hagakure#some extra tags now because these two have been successfully identified

#self promo.#ooc post.#AHHH hey y'all 👀 so i may or may not have spent a ridiculous amount of time on this promo here... mostly due to the fact that-#trying to match the colors to my theme was a painstakingly long process NGL ahahhh BUT ofc there's no pressure for y'all-#to check this out if you don't want to!! however any and all interactions across all of my accounts will always be appreciated okok ❤️#but yeah! as you all may be able to tell this promo is based on the 'magician' tarot card which i chose because of the meaning-#of it. a rather popular interpretation of it is that it symbolizes the meeting of the physical and the spiritual worlds-#and the act of converting spiritual energy into real world action. so basically the act of manifesting your true desires is one of the-#meanings behind this card + that its time to tap into your 'full potential' which i thought could certainly apply to resgalis's journey into#embracing the 'chaos' within them for lack of better words and tossing aside the idea of pleasing other's over being happy with who they-#are because they had been led a majority of their life that they couldn't be the god of trickery or they'd lead everyone down-#a path of destruction which... EHHH its debatable but the point is is that they weren't ever allowed to truly be themselves because of-#their step-father and a prophecy that alluded to them. but yeah its all about bringing your goals to fruition but also making sure to have-#a clear mental picture of what it is you want before you want BC it isn't enough to be motivated by your ego to fulfill your goals.#you have to have a soul connection to them and all of the 'tools' you need for this are represented on the table.

{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

#purplearts#chonny jash#chonnys charming chaos compendium#cj soul#cj mind#cj heart#<- tagging the other two for the rope symbolism#silly writing with silly guys#i say inspired because I changed the general scenery by adding the sun-moon#and I used my Soul design#so not a direct recreation of the scene by any measure but certainly inspired#augh i love this fic though I think about and reread segments all the time

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???
#this show is operating entirely on symbolism y'all#and doing so much class commentary through it#but it's certainly not a social realist piece#peaceful property#peaceful property the series#i've actually been thinking about how thai bl's seem to address class so much MORE than other regions#not in a realism-focused way but thematically#love me a penny-penching ho like Shinji from What Did You Eat Yesterday#who renders the whole show into realistic household economic discussions#but i don't need every show to be about that#and I also think there's a spiritual and communal element that seems to be very tied into...#if not Thai ways of thinking about money...#then at least Thai BL ways of considering money#thinking about Uncle Jim in MLC for example

Yikes. Patamon is such a gem from saving Takeru from become flattened fish food.

The part before where I mentioned Devimon has a good silhouette? Yeah, that.

Don't worry, little guy. You definitely get more wings to be able to fly. Their whole conversation about Patamon evolving is absolutely precious. I love the sketchy/hand drawn feel for all the "Imaginary" pig evolutions Takeru comes up with. I didn't include them because I ended up with enough screencaps for this episode as is (I get less restraint as I go along).

Always some of the prettiest locations in the Digital World.

POYOMON MY PRECIOUS BABY! my favorite baby digimon spotted.

I will always take the opportunity to post these adorable kids.

It's like shooting fish in a barrel using electricity in water like that.

Guy comes back to his babysitting job and realizes a couple kids have made a mess trying to take over lol.

Poor child with divorced parents has defensive instinct against people arguing. Baby, no 💔. (said with full sincerity and personal experience).
I enjoy how it shows with Patamon's evolution too. The evolution process is about to be booted up as Takeru is under a lot of stress and Patamon's protect instincts kicking in. It then goes down as it shows the kid's conflict avoidance overriding any sense of danger or stress that would otherwise cause it. (It also would be overkill to have a child/rookie digimon evolve into a literal angel to fight another young 'mon the same level as him).

Cuuuute.

Evidence he is not an only child with his first thought of conflict resolution is to make a game of it. Secondly, where did you get that outfit??

🎉

Friends, yay! Also, another time I really wanted to include a pretty shot just 'cause.

Yup, definitely a child with trauma from parents arguing. ilysm

Yeah, punch him straight to hell!

You precious, kind, hopeful child. You are too good for these worlds. They are not ready for your character arc /affectionate.
Takeru grows into a little gremlin and I love that for him. The most hopeful have some of the deepest scars and righteous anger in their hearts. Neither does that take away them being kind.


Yeah, just don't die! I'm not sorry.

Okay, maybe I am a little sorry.

#they certainly go hard with the feather symbolism this episode#digimon#aly's digimon rewatch adventure#digimon adventure 01#takeru takaishi#tk takaishi#patamon#elecmon#poyomon#devimon#yamato ishida#matt ishida#my stuff#long post
