soriku week this year has my favorite theme: opposites attract 💕

[magickedteacup]

The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes.

But don’t be afraid. And don’t forget …

You hold the mightiest weapon of them all.

I think "no child labor laws for the chosen one"/"forced to grow up too fast" readings of Captain Marvel/Shazam come from retconning Captain Marvel to be 100% Billy. Older readings have him as a separate but overlapping consciousness, almost like an imaginary friend.

OG Billy Batson, street kid, was for kids growing up through the Great Depression and WWII. At that point you've already grown up too fast. The power fantasy feels more about having an adult who could never leave you, never hurt you, never restrict your freedom or tell you what to do, but would always come when you called to protect you. Maybe I'm rambling but I feel like it's not really "what if a kid had to fix the world's problems" it's more "what if a kid had access to a Magic Word that meant adults and Gods HAD to help them fix the world when they asked. and also the kid got to go to space and meet aliens and wizards and cool things like that"

This game franchise makes so many choices that make me want to swing around to the camera asking: what was that. Why did you do that. Why.

Last quick one for the night: the fantasy mecha Escalflowne. But the cape is blue instead of red since I had already committed to sketching in red. The person who did the art for Chrono Cross also worked on Escalfowne, my other childhood anime influence. This one’s relatively slapdash, I just wanted to see if I could do it at all.

Quick animation of Serge from Chrono Cross. Was listening to the soundtrack today. The storyline was silly beyond reason, but the art, music, and atmosphere was a formative childhood influence.
