also now that i slept on it i'm thinking about how, the fate of the Valiant is probably a reference to the Two Dragons Tales.

in a kingdom there were two dragons who were constantly fighting, destroying everything around them, causing cataclysm in their roars - a red and a white one, until the hero of the time (predating the Arthurians legends) gathered all two dragons in a pit in the center of the city, and covered the pit up.

Centuries passes, and the new King tries to build a castle where the pit used to be, and he doesn't understand why the castle walls keep collapsing. His advisors tell him it'd be best for him to sacrifice the new kid in town to appease whatever is going on, but the kid, Merlin, gets the foresight to warn the king about the dragons, and once the dragons are released, they go on to continue their battles until one dragon kills the other (iirc the White dragon is the one who dies to the Red Dragon, but it's unclear)

Now, "freeing dragons" have been a reccuring theme in the Dragon Knights stories so far. Fafnir going on rampage as a Red Dragon locked inside a cave, or the Skeleton dragon Merlin awoke deep into the Feendrache's mountains in order to take down Feendrache.

I think the Valiant are supposed to continue on this imagery, with the fact they were literally locked underground after they rebelled to reclaim their rights. They were in the middle of the fight when the hero of the time locked them underground. There's multiple mentions in this event about how the dragons appeared from holes just underneath the city, at the center of it.

As long as this secret is hidden, it shakes the foundations of this country and you cannot build any future on its grave. That's the theme you can get both from the Arthurian story, and from the current event.

One interpretation i read is as follow: the White Dragon tries to overcome the Red Dragon. In its screams of pain, the Red Dragon brings calamities, such as the plague. In another: The White Dragon is said to represent the Saxons, while the Red Dragons represent the people of Vortigern (Celtic Britons). (in current days the Red Dragon is associated to Wales.) As the Red Dragon ultimately wins against the Saxons, it shows prosperity for the kingdom to come.

I think it's ultimately relevent as well -- although it also extends to Fafnir. The White Dragon should be here representing the state of Feendrache, after all, it's the name of the Knight order. The Red Dragon meanwhile therefore will be the one representing the various dragons endangered by Feendrache. Like torturing Fafnir, the literal Red Dragon, to create the Alma also created the Karma that caused a plague on the people. Like the Valiant lashing out and causing catastrophe is fully the responsibility of how Feendrache hurt them in the past. If this myth is to take to the dot, it means that in this battle between White Dragon (Feendrache) and the Red Dragons (Fafnir/Valiant), Feendrache will have to lose in order to make sure that a proper future can be built later with the survival of the Red Dragon.

... or something like that.

Anyway i just think it's interesting.

So, I know I'm a little (very) late to the AvA stuff, but I was rewatching AvM Season 3 for the seven hundredth time and, well, I noticed something and I'm curious to know if it's been discussed before.

AvM Episode 29, Purple's story, specifically, Pink's death.

Her color changes as she dies, or is represented to have died.

It fades to grey.

Now, the question is, can we, or rather should we, use this to infer anything lore-related? Was this just an artistic choice to depict the act of becoming unhealthy/dying, or could this be what actually happens to stick figures that die over a period of time? Are their colors linked to their health?

Let's have a bit of fun with it, and presume that the fading of one's color can happen to a stick figure for health-related reasons, as the scene could imply.

This fading seems to involve loosing the saturation of one's color into grey. Saturation is how vibrant a color is, and the complete lack of saturation is greyscale.

The World-of-Alan reason for Pink's death is that she 'got sick', which is where the health connection of this theory comes from. If she did loose her color as she was dying as the notes depict, that loss of color was likely a result of her failing health rather than any other factors, like age or outside variables. A whole bunch of human body stuff are indicators for good vs poor health, including skin color (jaundice and cyanasis are good examples) so why not a stick's color for them?

What if, when they fully die, they lose all of their original color?

Now, let me propose this…

Who else do we know of who has had their color loose vibrancy?

What if Victim's color has lightened because he's ill?

excuse me mr tumblr waiter. This #transformation post is about someone’s workout journey when I specifically requested people being transfromed into pooltoys. please have more foresight next time thank you

[your-unfriendlyghost]

My copy of the @stay-gold-zine arrived today! It’s really nice, and well done- had a great time flipping through it!

Anyhow, now that it’s out, I’m like 97% sure I can show y’all my work for it :))

it’s a little underrated scene from the movie that I always liked- it fleshed out their world/dynamics just a little more, yk? Nothing groundbreaking, but a small moment that stuck with me for no real reason. Felt like the sorta interaction I’d have with my buddies, that sorta deal, I guess.

+ the top pic on its own b/c i was pretty pleased w/ it at the time (I still am, just less thrilled since the novelty’s long worn off lol)

[ninjasmudge]

cult of the lamb has some really cool visuals and the accent color is my fave so i really wanted to do some post-game designs and doodles to get out of an art slump

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

hope you feel better soon!

I am riddled with ailments, but I stay silly!

[clickety-clacker]

Been seeing so many cool Clickies on my dashboard since getting into GGG, I just had to take the time to draw a few of them- plus, it was a bit of a challenge to try new styles. A lot of these guys were also super influential to how I draw and even think about Click Clack on my own time, so you should definitely check them out! Names below the cut cus it got long heehoo
