This has probably been discussed to death before ... but what is the symbolism behind Envy having his Ouroboros tattoo on his thigh and Wrath on his eye?

It probably has, though tbh I've never really read any theories/meta about it.

I think some of the places are symbolically related in some way to the sin (Lust's on her cleavage, Gluttony's on his tongue), but I ALSO think that a bit of it is that every homunculus needed one in a visually distinct place and you're going to run out of places that have some kind of symbolic meaning.

I think Envy's is mostly a visual/aesthetic choice. The placement ties into their outfit design and is unique to them, but doesn't really have any deeper meaning (at least, that I can read into it.)

With Wrath, I think it's both unique AND makes for a fun visual reveal when we first see King Bradley's eyepatch removed.

I'm sure someone COULD read something more meaningful into it, but I honestly don't. I think it's more about visuals/the cool reveal.

But interesting question! Thanks for asking! :) If anyone else has some other thoughts, let me know

I find it fascinating how Blitzø has gone from always calling it Stolas's " weird bird puss" to now consistently calling it a cloaca. Like before Blitzø would have lumped in Stolas's anatomy with the pussy category when he was in the cage, but now he is recognizing it as its own specific category that does not belong to the others.

It especially feels significant when remembering that when he was calling it Stolas's bird puss he was doing so with the added context that he was calling it weird. But now it's not weird it's just a part of his anatomy almost as if to say he no longer views Stolas himself as merely weird. He's just Stolas.

10 & 13 for Cody!

10. Share a sentence of dialogue from your OC that you think represents them well.

I couldn't think of a quote he'd say, so I found other quotes said that I think represent Cody & his whole thing: but the quote of "Creation from Destruction".

It's a very simple phrase, that encapsulates the entirety of Cody's character and his own motivations, as he has a very ouroboros-like mindset that by destroying things, you can restart anew and make it better. Hence his very chaotic & destructive behaviors and why he is very carefree in regards to how he goes about his own life, but also very meticulous & 4D chessing everything to fulfill his own desires.

Cause I'm not sure if I ever gone into detail, but Cody's whole reason as to why he hasn't left town, and plays into one of his quest branches, is because he genuinely wants to see & enact the destruction of the entire town ( ESPECIALLY since he is an angel, he feels he is still allowed to have his angel TF despite his corrupt lifestyle because Virgo genuinely believes in his plans ). Believes that the town has ran the last of its cycle and has to restart again, but the only way to do so is to decimate it, regardless of how many deaths & lives are uprooted. Just happily cause a cataclysm like event like Life is Strange!! ( He can't cause a weather disaster, but if there is a will there is way! )

13. How do they deal with pain (physical or emotional)?

PHYSICALLY, Cody plays it off very nonchalantly. Man could be bleeding from a stab wound and he's like "hey it's no biggie. anyway does anyone have a first aid-" Because he knows that if he succumbs to the pressure that's showing off a vulnerability, and that he is someone able to be affected, and he'd rather DIE than let others see that side of him. Just plays it cool, even if he is in a situation where he can't see help immediately.

EMOTIONALLY... that's a different story. If Cody is dealing with emotional pain, the PC would definitely notice that Cody has been working at the Pub for longer hours than usual. He's a workaholic and likes to drown himself in work & business so after a certain amount of time, whatever caused him pain? He could care less about!! He's already indifferent ( numb ) to it!

However, if someone tried to push it while he's like this, before the window of time closed down, it's a very rare moment to see Cody.... like actually upset. Will probably snap at the person, like "What is it!? What is it that you need so bad that you can't drop it!?" grabbing their face close to his to make sure they get the hint that he's not in a playful mood. Which, honestly, can go in multiple directions because of how volatile Cody is in this state.

you know despite everything I do feel pretty fortunate? the past few years have been really shitty for me, but I had a job that gave me room to be a bit subpar for a while (despite being a cause for a decent chunk of those issues but I digress). I got this job when I was at an EXTREME low point (unemployed for almost half a year after quitting my last job due to PTSD unrelated to said job). It was a job I could do remotely during the pandemic and STAYED remote so I could move without having to worry about anything.

I got let go at a time in my life where I've been actively trying to change a lot of things about myself, and this feels like an extension of that. I've been ready to move on for a while. I hate the circumstances because they robbed me of a chance to actually say goodbye to so many people I've really grown to care about over the years. The meeting was so FUCKING unprofessional and shitty, but I'm getting half a year of severance (they said it was going to be 3 on the meeting but whatever). I have some time to breathe for the first time in YEARS. I can be a bit slow about getting a new job, but I'm still going to look so I can save as much of the severance as possible.

Something something dramatic change is good, and I know logically it feels shit right now but this is good for me. And I ultimately feel grateful to the way things worked out because it means I can get the FUCK out of there with a huge cushion. I can extend this 6 months into 8 or 9 if I really need to. And they didn't make me work through any of it.

ok im going to #seriouspost for a second here. I don't think Harry Potter is a manifesto. I think it was a flawed passion project that millennials latched onto because of the fantasy of sticking it to their mean teachers and arbitrarily categorizing themselves (hogwarts houses; it's the thinking millennial's astrology). I think the fact that the series got popular when and how it did was very much a product of its time.

I don't think Harry Potter is the biggest symbol of JKR's bigotry. I think the most flagrant sign of that was how she responded to critics. I watched her become radicalized in real time. I watched how she doubled down on her racism when she was called out for the ways she promoted her tragically mid fantastic beasts movies. I watched her chase marginalized teenagers with a double digit follower count off of twitter for daring to criticize her thought process, and no one with any kind of power standing against her because she was the one who was paying them. This isn't to say Harry Potter is without flaws. This is to say she really didn't give a shit about that. Getting rich and powerful is a hell of a drug, and she had enough sycophants that she had no reason to care about what her critics were saying.

She was convinced that she was a martyr; a voice for the unheard; a leader for the ages, so of course her detractors were the bad guys. And I think we should take this to heart. We should see this as an example of how easy it is to get radicalized; if you think of yourself as a paragon of virtue, you are going to think that whatever you see as good and right is an objective fact. Most people don't know this, but the majority of terfs start out as trans allies. You are not immune to propaganda! You are not immune to falling into dangerous ideologies!!!

This is why the most important thing you can do as an activist is to listen. Do NOT think you're above being wrong; do NOT develop a god complex; do NOT form an identity out of being right all the time. Involve yourselves in the groups you claim to speak for. Listen to trans women; share resources that help trans women; familiarize yourself with the diversity of experiences that trans people have and the struggles they face.

No, none of you are as bad as JKR because you don't have her money or her power. You will likely never have the capacity for harm she does. But check yourselves. Do not affirm yourselves into thinking you always have the moral high ground. Watch yourselves; humble yourselves; check yourselves for signs of cult behavior and internalized prejudice. You are always learning. You will always be learning. Do not allow yourselves to get a power trip from brushing off marginalized voices.

This drawing made me realise that actually I love the comfort zone and I would like to go back into it. Also that I must draw more tigers.
