Life bookmark I guess. I just remembered something because of this song. And I read something that I will be reminded of everytime I listen to this song again.

I don't know why pero grabe kaayo akong hilak ganina jud... I tried so hard to calm my heart while going to the pharmacy ganina. Gaduko kay klaro kaayong gikan gahilak. Salamat sa concern kuya guard pero oa ra guro ko /hj. I don't really know why I couldn't stop myself from crying ganina. Even after gainom ug tubig, gasob gihapon ang but-an😭

Watched Tasokare Hotel.

I came across it while looking for another hotel anime (Apocalypse Hotel— which I'll probably watch next, emphasis on probably).

I don't know whether I like it or not. I like the opening song and I kinda like the plot but I don't like some of the themes it included. There were a a number of disturbing stuff in it especially on the penultimate episode.

Someone said it's like Hotel del Luna and yes I can see that but the vibes aren't really the same.

[aireterra]

There was no momentum but I felt like my nonexistent one was halted by something I don't really like... It made me realize that she doesn't know and understand me at all. It's my fault because I'm not expressive but care and concern is just painful at this point.

A lucky day

Back to back luck and great timing

It's not something really tangible in reality but it was a pleasant surprise because I never expected any of it.

I know it's April fool's today

Got fooled twice even but I also got lucky twice for real...

Maybe this is just like the old man who lost his horse. And it wasn't luck but karma?

Should I be scared of tomorrow then? XD

Just wanna save the date and see what next year looks like. I wanna have a lucky day after all.

[aireterra]

I didn't think a conversation about a fish in an aquarium would make me tear up but I did.... Nganoooo????!!!!

Maybe because everything implied felt true and it's just sad...

Connection between duchy cape colors and the gods

Something I noticed about some of the most major-character duchies in AOAB is how I think you could argue that their cape colors correlate to the Supreme Gods and the Eternal Five respectively. The duchies that I consider to be the most frequently mentioned/closely involved in the story are Ehrenfest, Dunkelfelger, Alexandria (both on its own and also in holding the position of former Ahrensbach), Klassenberg, Drewanchel, and the Sovereignty. I think that the general outlook of these duchies or their major characters can be pretty easily tied to the god/goddess that their respective cape color correlates to, which I’ll explain further below-

—

The Sovereignty: Black

The divine color of the God of Darkness. Just as the God of Darkness is King of the Gods, the Zent rules the Sovereignty. The AOAB Wiki also has some potential etymology for Rozemyne’s name for the God of Darkness, Schicksantracht, to be translated as “unity/harmony,” which could tie in to how the Sovereignty, or at the very least the royal family that rules it, is meant to unify the duchies and bring harmony to Yurgenschmidt. Anastasius, member of the royal family and currently prince-consort to the Zent, also often likens his wife to the Goddess of Light, meaning that he by default falls into the role of the God of Darkness, and their romance is often compared to that of the Supreme Gods.

Drewanchel: Green

The divine color of Flutrane. Duchy of scholars, could tie into the “change” association with Flutrane as such an intelligent duchy continually seeks out new and changing research and ideas. Individual character mention in Adolphine, who boldly seeks to and accomplishes in changing her own marriage circumstances for the better.

Dunkelfelger: Blue

The divine color of Leidenschaft. Deeply in line with Dunkelfelger values and general temperament, a duchy of hot headed and battle-obsessed nobles who even receive more divine protections from Leidenschaft and his subordinates than any other. Pretty much any major Dunkelfelger character mentioned could be tied in here aside from Hannelore.

Ehrenfest: Ochre (Dark Yellow/Gold)

There are two angles to view the associations in Ehrenfest, tying it to the Goddess of Light’s divine color of Gold, and tying it to Schutzaria’s divine color of Yellow.

One of the main associations with the Goddess of Light is motherhood, and Ehrenfest has strong ties to both positive and negative examples of motherhood. The overarching plot of Veronica, Georgine, Sylvester, and Ferdinand is focused around the core conflict of an abusive mother and her victims. Veronica haunts the entire narrative of AOAB despite never really being physically present in any non-flashback scenes, and her misuse of her position of “mother” is what shaped many of the main characters and various plots throughout the series. Additionally, as AOAB is a very story very heavily focused on familial themes, Rozemyne also has close relationships with multiple mother-figures as she grows up both as a commoner and as a noble. Effa’s unconditional love for Myne is a large part of what shapes her into who she is, and Elvira’s love and motherly support once Rozemyne is baptized into noble society is essential to her, both socially and emotionally. The main printing industry in Ehrenfest is largely advanced thanks to Elvira’s “motherly love” for Rozemyne as well, meaning that even Ehrenfest’s economic, technological, and social advancements are founded on a mother’s affections for her daughter.

In terms of associations with Schutzaria in line with Ocher being considered a Dark Yellow, I looked for associations between Ehrenfest and Schutzaria’s association with protection. Ehrenfest’s archducal family is seemingly much closer than other duchies’ archducal families. Spearheaded by Rozemyne, who is forever hellbent on protecting what she holds dear, Ehrenfest can be considered a duchy that values protecting its own perhaps on a higher level than other duchies. For example, when Ferdinand is engaged into Ahrensbach, despite his own relatively weak political position, Sylvester tries his best to stand up to the Zent to protect him and is devastated when he is ultimately unable to. While other duchies seem to think that nobles, especially female nobles, marrying out of one’s home duchy for political power is a given, Ehrenfest tries to protect Rozemyne by keeping her in their own duchy through her initial engagement to Wilfred. They do originally intend to marry Charlotte into another duchy, but in what seems to be an unusual fashion asked of him by Rozemyne, Sylvester still tries to protect Charlotte by trying to give her as much freedom of choice in her partner as possible. Rozemyne protects Wilfried from the consequences of his trip to the Ivory Tower, and Charlotte from her kidnappers. Sylvester protects Myne when Bidewald attacks her. The first spells Rozemyne casts or is taught are all protective in nature as well. Overall, Ehrenfest’s nobles seem especially inclined to protect those close to or associated with them, just as Schutzaria is a goddess known for her shield and strong protective power.

Klassenberg: Red

The divine color of Geduldh. Color associated with warmth, compassion, and femininity. In P5V1, Rozemyne remarks that perhaps all Klassenberg women are kind and gentle like Eglantine, Hortensia, and Primevere, implying that at least the women of the duchy are in line with the divine association.

—

The only one missing from the Supreme Gods or the Eternal Five is Ewigeliebe, with his divine color of White. The closest I could think of for a duchy with story relevance and a white cape was perhaps Jossbrenner with their cream capes, as there is no duchy represented by the color pure white, but as Jossbrenner was only brought up a few fleeting times (and regardless is not what I would describe as one of the “major character” duchies to begin with), I couldn’t think of any particular ties to Ewigeliebe.

Perhaps it could be theorized that, like how the shrines in the Royal Academy have one singular consolidated shrine for both Geduldh and Ewigeliebe, Klassenberg’s men could relate to Ewigeliebe in the same way that its women relate to Geduldh. I don’t have any concrete evidence for this though, so it’s just a silly idea to make up for Ewigeliebe not having a corresponding duchy of his own…

—

Aside from the Supreme Gods and the Eternal Five, Alexandria could be tied to Mestionora (obviously), arguably the most important of the subordinate gods or goddesses in AOAB, so I’m including it as well-

Alexandria: Dark Blue

Ties to Mestionora’s hair color, though her divine color could possibly yellow instead due to her position as a Wind subordinate. Specific character reference is obviously Rozemyne, Aub and divine avatar of Mestionora, who constantly and gluttonously desires new written knowledge, as well as secondarily Ferdinand who continually seeks out greater knowledge through his research.

It's safe to say there is a lot of comparisons to Cinderella, I mean it's brought up in the series too. However I think it's fun to also compare it to other fairy tales too.

Rozemyne is obviously Cinderella but she can also be compared to Sleeping Beauty and Snow White/Snow Drop, as both are forced into a forced into a magical sleep and also take on a new identity to survive. Cinderella obviously works best, but there's already a tonne of literary analysis of that in the fandom.

Ferdinand, among being another Cinderella, is the Beast from Beauty and the Beast. A cold-hearted monster who learns to love and be loved in return. He hides vulnerability behind a stern exterior created from past trauma.

Sylvester is, in a way is a benevolent version of Rumplestiltskin. He helps and aides Rozemyne keeping her safe but also is the cause of her being separated from her family. He is mischievous, with a tendency to make deals with hidden benefits. However, he uses that to ensure his family and domain prosper rather than seeking revenge or personal gain

But Sylvester is also like King Thrushbeard as many assume he is careless, but he is actually a brilliant leader, who also disguised himself as a beggar or in this case a preist to test a the honesty and character of a young lady.

Lutz is the Shoemakers apprentice. A poor boy who works hard to learn a trade. In this way, Lutz is also Aladdin as they both start off as a commoner but gains status through resourcefulness.

We all know Veronica is the evil step mother trope known in many fairytales most commonly Cinderella, and Snow White/Snow Drop as she sees she sees Rozemyne, Ferdinand and even Florencias children (minus Wilfried) as threats to her influence.

Georgine mirrors that of the Evil Sorceress trope, unlike Veronica, who rules through intimidation and violence, Georgine is a master manipulator who uses knowledge and power to control others and seek revenge like for example the enchantress in Rapunzel.

Frieda is a cross of both the millers daughter from Rumplestiltskin and Rumplestiltskin himself. Both are in a difficult situation and must use cleverness and external help to survive. She offers deals that seem helpful but serve her interests first as she understands the power of hidden knowledge and navigating business strategies and uses them to her advantage.

Initially I was going to compare Hannelore to Mulan, a warrior who goes to battle but after much thought I figured that the two are opposites, as hannelore is more willing to follow the path set for her rather than fight against it, and is always out of place among Dunklefelgers warrior ways. In retrospect, she is a trapped princess like Rapunzel. Hannelore isn’t physically trapped like Rapunzel, but she is emotionally and socially constrained by her status and longs for connection outside of her duchy. She sees Wilfried as her prince, a way to escape Dunklefelger but untimately blind and never sees him.

Damuel is a knight in shining armour. Someone who will protect rozemyne even at the expense of personal sacrifice, in this way he is similar to the huntsman from snow white or Percival from Arthurian legends especially since Percival and Damuel are both naive at the start, lacking the experience or wisdom with the complexities of court life and chivalric duties.

I wanted to compare someone to Little Red Riding hood as it is a classic fairytale, the innocent child unaware of the danger that surrounds them. A story about maturing and self discovery while facing the hidden threats, who better to compare that to than Wilfried. The Wolf in his tale is the Veronica faction, who manipulate him while dressed in a friendly face.

Another famous fairytale is Hansel and Gretel, if you wish to focus on the two children in the woods it would be best to compare them to Lutz and Myne who at the beginning of their journey start in the woods. Despite the obstacles Lutz and Myne face the world together, their bond unshakable. The candy house in this case would be the church's book room and Bezewanst the witch. While this comparison does not affect Lutz, it does entice Myne leading to her being caged. Her breadcrumb trail is Lutz, a last hope to lead her back to her family, but even though the birds eat the trail and Lutz could no longer send messages, she still made it home to her family in the end.

i am a body lost in the waves of nostalgia, but i've learned how to drift with it. its cold embrace seeps into my skin as it soothes and numbs me all at once. but it drowns me as i let it carry me; its hands pushes my head under, and the weight in my lungs is getting heavier.

suddenly, i’ve forgotten how to swim.
