Sentinel had a love for sewing and was applying to art school for it—or more specifically, The École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs (ÉnsAD).

ÉnsAD is a grand école, or an elite school for arts and design located in Rue d'Ulm, France. This school is the near-equivalent of SAIC in the US or something.

But in any case, it's stated from the letter that if Sentinel got accepted into ÉnsAD, her grandmother would've funded her sewing atelier in Paris. She would've been a fashion or textiles and textures design student if she hadn't enlisted in the military.

quick breakdown of sentinel’s name because i have nothing to do in a foodcourt and am nursing a headache

marianne is the blend of “sea of bitterness” from marie and “grace” from anne.

best i can get from the etymology of ténébrun is the french work ténèbres, meaning darkness.

in my own personal interpretation, you could say marianne tenebrun means “grace in a dark sea of bitterness”, because sea of bitterness grace darkness doesn’t roll of the tongue well as the other one and sounds like the cursed ebony dark’ness dementia raven way.

and now to the real life reference/inspiration of her name by a quick five minute google search:

marianne as a name fits sentinel down to a t, with her obvious french background, her role in wanting to end the war, and also her apparent bloodline as a gargoyle, which are very well known to be placed atop of cathedrals; one such notable example being notre-dame de paris in france:

as for her family name, ténébrun, best i can see off google search is a character: tenebrun the bandit chief, off the french opera don quichotte, which i am assuming follows the famous work of don quixote.

and since i cannot have a ibuprofen and a baby is wailing on the table in front of me, i’ll leave that up to others to link sentinel’s character to mix thematically with main chapter’s story inspiration ‘a long long way’ and tenebrun’s character in don quichotte.

Hiii, I was just wandering if you wouldn’t mind blabbing about the symbolism and stuff behind some of your design choices with the horse men that you might not have mentioned. Like with pestilence and death specifically I feel like there’s a lot of symbolism I’m picking up on without fully understanding. Like with Death’s sickle, both a homage to the classic scythe and a nod to the “reaping/harvesting” of souls. And with pestilence I feel like there’s something that I’m skirting around without grasping. The multiple legs strike me as a deliberate similarity to insects, and if I’m right I think that the rider is bound in a body bag type deal, similar to how disease and pestilence is so often both spread through the improper disposal of body’s, and how wide spread pestilence leads to mass graves filled with disease and the horrible anonymity that comes with being just one face in a pit of hundreds etc? All of this is, ofc, to say that I’ve adored your series of the horsemen so far and would go absolutely rabid for some insight on some of your design choices<3

My horsemen of the apocalypse! I will add the original commentary and some extras, less about the symbolism and more about what brought me to design them the way I did.

The symbolism is for you to chose, there is no wrong answer.

WAR

I can't bring myself to represent war with a cool knight. It's horror. War is a bound child crowned with shrapnel, tied to a wounded horse that is being pulled forward by unseen people.

I've read a handful of books regarding war. A lost quote said that it should be shown as horror, it should make generals vomit, it should make you sick. I haven't seen war but my family has.

It was the first horseman I've designed, and it was in my sketchbook for months (maybe over a year, maybe even more) before I had the courage to draw it. I was really scared about how people would react to a mutilated child.

FAMINE

Someone who lived thro a famine shared that their head was only occupied with thoughts of food. Famine consumes your mind. All animals were eaten. Neighbors gave their pets away cuz they couldn't do it themselves. People walked around town as if in a dazed dream, slowly

Recommended reading: The Last Witnesses - Svetlana Alexievitch, a collection of testimonials of people who were children when WW2 began. Some quotes below;

'''A cat! A cat!' Other children saw it and started chasing it. The educators were local habitants, looked at us as if we were insane. In Leningrad there were no living cats left...A living cat was a dream. Food for one month...We talked about it, but they didn't believe us.''

''During the first year of evacuation, we didn't notice nature, everything that was nature provoked in us only one desire - taste to see if it's edible. Only a year later I noticed the beauty of the Urals''

''I dreamt of catching a sparrow and eating it...''

''A candle burns and the shopgirl cuts the bread pieces. People follow her with their gaze. Her every movement...with burning eyes...crazed...and all that in silence.''

''People walked slowly through the city like shadows. Like in a dream...a deep dream...As in, you see it, but you think you're seeing a dream. Those sluggish movements...floating...As if a person walked on water and not on land.''

''In Leningrad there are a lot of monuments, but one is missing that should exist. They forgot about it. The monument to the dogs of the seige. Dear doggy, forgive me...''

I don't like talking about it. It made no sense to draw Famine with a horse.

PESTILENCE

Based on the notes of a doctor who said the most frightening thing about viral disease was how it didn’t frighten. People didn’t know or didn't care. They lived and spread until it was too late and they became another name on the record

The clothing being made out of shredding plastic is no coincidence; pollution is a form of pestilence too

Recommended reading: Notes from a Countryside Doctor - Mikhail Bulgakov. Roughly translated quote below;

''Ah, I verified that here syphilis was frightening precisely because it did not frighten. That was why I evoked that woman.* I remembered her with a kind of affectionate respect: because she had been afraid. But she was the only one!''

*Early in the chapter, doctor mentions a woman that appeared in the clinic with a letter from her soldier husband, where he wrote that he had syphilis and told her she should go to the doctor too.

DEATH

Recommended reading: Voices of Chernobyl - Svetlana Alexievitch. The Death of Ivan Ilitch - Lev Tolstoi

“Death is the fairest thing in the world. No one's ever gotten out of it. The earth takes everyone - the kind, the cruel, the sinners. Aside from that, there's no fairness on earth.”

Death is the only horseman that doesn’t need to mount their horse; they will reach everyone eventually. Who is the saddle for then? Open ended question because this one you have to figure out personally

Many people pointed out how the horse is a Clydesdale. Good eyes! I purposefully asked a friend to guide me towards what type of horses are the sturdiest and most-friendly looking. I drew the horse grazing. It's not injured, it doesn't gallop. It's grazing peacefully because life moves on.

This is the only design that had a painting serve as a base - The Reaper, by Alexey Venetsianov. Not much or nothing at all is written about, I saw it in a book. It is a literal reaper but it haunted me, as if it's portraying more than a person.

The choice to make it a woman was due to a book about a crematory (Smoke Gets in Your Eyes - Caitlin Doughty) that connected women to death because everyone born is bound to die.

Ahhh, I don't want to give it all away. It's fun to figure things out. About them all. From the enviroment, to the movement, to the horses themselves. Many people even mentioned details that I did not notice and didn't add purposefully that were so inspired and amazing. I truly mean that the interpretations of the public enrich the works even more than my own words. And it's an honor to share that work with everyone.

Thank you anon!

I'm actually surprised that not everyone figured out how to read the roman numerals on the watch, but at least you know now. 🫡

The statues in Apeiron's Hall of Truth are real statues

In Apeiron's Hall of Truth, there are 5 sculptures that are laid out along the walls of the room. While looking around, I found that the statues happened to be ones you can find in real life.

I was able to identify 3 of the 5 sculptures, but the two sculptures on the far left are currently left unidentified since it was too dark to be able to image search them properly.

Though, I want to focus on the sculptures that I was able to find information on. Let's get started.

These 3 statues were identified to be from the Schönbrunn Garden, a palace garden located in Vienna, Austria (surprising, I know). In the Great Parterre area of the garden, there are 32 statues depicting various Greco-Roman mythological deities and virtues. These 3 are no different.

Asclepius, Greek God of Healing and Medicine (Veit Königer)

Asclepius is most known for the rod that he holds, wrapped by a snake (a sacred animal who held wisdom, healing, and resurrection) who granted him secret knowledge in exchange of kindness. The rod—similar to Hermes' caduceus by design—is the most iconic and used symbol for medicine and healing today.

Gaius Mucius Scaevola, Roman Youth Figure (Johann Martin Fischer)

Mucius here is most known for his willpower during the Roman-Etruscan wars. "Scaevola" is a term/cognomen that means "left-handed." The name was given to Mucius after he willingly placed his right hand over an open flame when he was held captive and threatened for execution by Clusian King Lars Porsena.

Porsena let him go after finding that the young man (and by extension, the young Romans) was more than willing to hurt himself if it meant that Rome would reign victorious over Clusium.

Flora, Roman God of Spring and Flowers (Johann Wilhelm Beyer)

She was a well-celebrated minor goddess in Roman mythology, and was also one of the many deities that signified youth and fertility given the nature of springtime. The Floralia is a ancient Roman festival that celebrated Flora with drinking, flowers, and entertainments. She has a temple that was established in 238 BCE.

Note: At one point, I mistook the statue for the Flora Farnese, one of the many statues part of the collection of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese (later Pope Paul III). I found that Flora had her own statue in the gardens as well a bit later.

The Unidentified Sculptures

There are two other sculptures that are currently left unidentified because the area was too dark and thus leaving too much room for pixelation of the images when it came to cropping them.

There are a couple of notes that can be considered if you wish to find them:

The first sculpture has a beard, and holds the cloth wrapped around his waist. The cloth also seeps to be wrapped around his shoulder.

The second statue is of a clean-shaven man with very loose clothing. He has his right arm raised while also having an animal by his side.

Neither of them are sculptures from the garden. Trust me, I already went through each image of the article more than once.

Here's the sculptures but under a brighter light despite there being less details.

A close match I could get from the second statue would be that of Bacchus by Georg Pfründt, but it's not quite as close as I'd like it to be.

Anyways, these are just some observations I wanted to note down. I spent way too many hours trying to find the two sculptures. Thanks for reading and have fun if you want to try to search for the unidentified statues.
