[specialagentartemis]

unfortunately if I want to independently develop a hypothesis about Rohan's economic/subsistence structure I really need to learn things like the requirements of taking care of horses in the winter and the growing seasons/growing lengths of crops like lettuce, radishes, carrots, and kale, and metalworking time and space commitments, and the types of houses that can be erected and torn down quickly, and the required land area of grazing per horse, and the social organization of Iron Age Eurasian horse cultures, and what other animals might naturally live on the Mark, and productivity and caloric value of mare's milk,

and like. also reread the Lord of the Rings lol

[monstermoviedean]

finally put my finger on what bothers me about the setup for jack and dean's relationship. it's that i personally don't find it exciting or interesting to parentify someone who's been parentified for 30 years already. i know people disagree with me here and that's fine! but i feel that adding another layer of parentification without any meaningful change to the first layer is just. insult to injury i guess.

dean finally gets to tell mary what he went through and he forgives her and it seems like maybe he's going to get to be his own person, finally, with that weight off his back, and then one episode later cas and mary are gone and jack is there and sam needs him too. and sam pushes dean to push down his grief and parent jack. and that's it. dean becomes jack's parent. in some ways he's still acting on how he was parentified for sam. and that could be explored in interesting ways i suppose. i just don't find the execution compelling. in fact it just makes me really sad.

Genuine question

If you don't really like/believe the whole (the what??) "soul/mind blinds heart" theory,

what's your interpretation of the "times stabbed through eyes that the sides had condemned" line, if you don't mind asking?

I'm very curious .looks up at you with my big wide eyes

hello hi! no worries, I don't mind at all :} I'll do my best to explain how I see it, though I must say that I'm admittedly not the best at lyrical analysis, so this may or may not make sense - there's honestly a greater chance this doesn't make sense at all, in which case I apologize beforehand if it doesn't (orz)

also this answer got SUPER LONG so I will put the rest of this answer under the cut. congratulations on getting the semi-common semi-rare 'Trident explains something in an unnecessarily long response with an answer that barely makes sense'. and also apologies in advance once again. whoops

so, very clearly that line is referring to the trident, as there isn't really anything else that would be referred to as having tines, that's very much obvious; however, I don't think the rest of the line is referring to Heart, or at the very least, not Heart specifically

and the reason I don't think it is, is because of the context surrounding the line itself – and I don't mean just the lyrics before this line, I mean the accompanying music video:

I think the fact that we're shown both Heart and Mind, side to side, through this line is immensely significant, it makes it clear (to me, at the very least) that Soul isn't just talking about Heart here, he's talking about them both. because, if Soul was just talking about Heart, then wouldn't the focus just be on Heart?

and here's the thing about Light & Night: it's one of the few CCCC MVs that was more or less storyboarded by Chonny prior to/while being made. he mentions this in the Q&A

and honestly, you can very clearly see this with Light & Night, and especially Night. every single scene is very deliberate and has a purpose in conveying a message to the audience. (it's like, actually kind of unreal the amount of little details that are crammed into the music video. little tangent here, but did you know that what looks like an ultrasound scan shows up when Soul sings 'such as I am Mother's only son'? because I did not know until I read a YT comment that pointed it out. Night is probably the MV that I've rewatched the most and I still never noticed that detail up until recently.)

so with that being said, we can come to the conclusion that Mind being present through the tines line is very much intentional – but Mind has never been stated or alluded to be blind, nor was he ever mentioned having anything affecting his sight in any way, so... what's up with that?

with this I'm gonna fast forward to Storm and a Spring, where we find the first* time that a trident is referenced as more of a physical object, rather than something being tridential

*first time by song release date, not album order

here Mind refers to it as both weapon and motive. additionally, throughout the entire album, the trident is largely meant to be a symbol for the three – and not really just Soul.

so with all this, to me, the line means far less 'Soul stabbing out Heart's eyes with an actual trident' and more of:

'Soul, who wants to get Heart and Mind to harmonize again so they can be whole again, tries to show them this truth that they all need to work together, and fails. Heart and Mind can't harmonize because they can't see eye to eye together, and they don't want to become Whole under Soul's terms'

the trident, the very image of the three together, is a motivation and a purpose, that they reject, that they condemn, because they can't agree with the other, and through the music video they try, and it doesn't work. so the stabbing here is not a literal thing, but more-so a harsh truth shown that they can't accept.

and really, that's not just what the tines line means to me, it's also what Night embodies in its entirety, to me; Night is the first attempt at harmony, which ends up failing. Light, in contrast, is the last attempt at harmony, which succeeds.

I'm aware that's probably a far less exciting or thrilling interpretation of the tines line – but in the end it's what makes most sense to me, considering the overarching album themes and the context surrounding Night (the fact that it comes right after Spring and a Storm and right before Ruler of Everything makes me feel NORMAL VERY NORMAL). that being said, I completely understand why people come to the usual conclusion that Heart's blindness was caused by Soul / the trident; it is, after all, the most direct conclusion you can make from it. buuut...

I'm gonna sound like a major hater here. I promise I'm not trying to knock anyone's interpretation here – at the very end of the day CCCC is largely up to interpretation and it's very much meant to be that way. but I just really... really don't think Soul would do all that. I'm sorry to the Soul blinding Heart truthers out there. and I hope you don't mind if I explain why right now on this post (Trident yap session part... TWO!)

here's the thing – Soul is so, sooo very impartial throughout the entirety of the album. whenever he speaks either directly towards them or about them he's always referring to both, never really leaving one or the other out. there's in total two (2!) instances where Soul talks about/towards only one of the two. once in Mucka Blucka, when referring to Heart (in which he and Mind both sing 'and right as he missed' while Heart is singing 'and right as I missed') and once in Night (when Mind sings 'only thought,' and both Soul and Heart respond with 'What do you want?')

which are such minor instances in and of themselves, in both times he's singing along with Heart or Mind to refer to the other, so it's not something that he even does on his own. You could argue that the line 'but mechanical hands decided where the Heart would be,' counts, but he's still referring to both in the same line and under the same context... other than that, there's no other instances where he's referring to only one of them rather than both. (AT LEAST from what I recall, at least. if I'm wrong feel free to correct me)

with all that being said, that's why I just really... really don't get the Soul blinding Heart interpretation, and much less the punishment angle to it. not only is the punishment angle to the blinding kind of wildly ableist on its own (though I'm not really the right person to speak on it – but it feels wrong not to bring up either way). it also just doesn't make sense to me considering Soul's behavior through the rest of the album. he always treats Heart and Mind equally otherwise, whether he's on good or bad terms with them. if Soul blinded Heart (whether as punishment or not), it'd mean he'd have to do the same to Mind as well. which doesn't make much sense, does it?

and I know people commonly interpret the blinding as a response to RoE, but... I feel if it was something that was a result of RoE, it'd be mentioned in Mucka Blucka too, which lines out not only the album's themes but major events like RoE and Apathy as well. so like... waves hands vaguely. eh?

I don't know. once again I'm not trying to knock anybody else's interpretation. I do have issues with the ableism that comes from seeing the blinding as punishment done to Heart and I do think people should be more mindful / considerate of that and give it the nuance required if they're going with that angle at all, but at the end of the day I can't really control people, and the blatant truth is anyone can pretty much just do whatever they want – especially with CCCC interpretations as that's kind of the whole point. I can't really speak much on the matter either as I'm not the right person to do so nor am I going to pretend I'm a saint when it comes to it (it'd be rich of me to act high and mighty on the topic when my art isn't even accessible to visually impaired people in the first place. it's something I've admittedly been neglecting and that I just haven't gotten around to due to lack of time/other reasons, but still, it's not great)

but... yeah. waves hands vaguely. that's my answer. LOL

hopefully this is all at the very least somewhat understandable. my brain died like twice while writing this post so I maaay or may not come back later to edit this post with better wording. I also was going to bring up other stuff that I find interesting regarding Night but those are not really related to the question you asked so I'll leave it out for now. this response is long enough as it is LOL. thank you for asking o7

I'm hungry. Then again, a slice of toast and a couple bottles of water are the only things I've consumed today. Need me a Sylus right about now, glaring at me as he shoves a sandwich and fruit into my hands and won't let me leave the table until I eat.

"Despite everything... It's still me, right?"

Pit without his cape looks so different (ᵕ•_•)

AU-lore-dumping information with rambling below: ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

The CORE, which was once full of pure magic, turned corrupted and unstable after a bomb made it explode. Pit's and Chara's souls were sucked into the remains of the CORE, corrupting the CORE's magic even further. While Chara's soul stayed untouched by the CORE's corruption, Pit's soul and magic got stained. But he is still himself, despite those new funny voices and hallucinations feelings, right? ... Right?

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

While the last Pit-got-corrupted-part is still a concept, the first half is set in stone in this AU. I'm close to finding a name, I swear!

The CORE does not directly provide them with magic, like in Horrortale, for example. It was once built to take all the monsters into a self-made-built dimension where -theoretically- humans cannot reach them anymore. It drains the magic from the human world to power up and to transfer it to their dimension for the monsters to use.

I say theoretically since there was still a way for Chara to got sucked into their dimension.

Because of reasons that would be too long to explain, humans found them and attacked while the monsters were celebrating a festival that they hold every year.

That's actually the day I'm focusing on the most right now since everyone's life changes after that. It basically revolves around the CORE's explosion, the reason for the festival's existence, Chara's real dad, and Pit... Papyrus is a depressed mess and will probably never recover from this.

But uhm... I really don't know how to properly show everything. Maybe I just make more lore-dumping posts and put them later inside my pinned post or something. This AU has a lot to unpack, and I didn't even really start with the other's character designs! Except for Chara, but her design has lore reasons.
