the rest, sorry. they're interesting.

i CANNOT stress enough how incompatible the themes of these two pieces of media are. i promise my media literacy ability is actually good im well aware that these character mappings are absolutely nothing. that said. play with me in this space. in this sopping wet miserable space. its bad luck to kill a piou piou

original screenshots (and hypnosis 1904) for reference

I should've given an award to Oh No! Here Comes Trouble last year for the red thread of a fate, but Unknown's final episodes just solidified that this WILL be a Colors Award this year.

Because I just really love when the colors color so fucking well.

The red stairs were a character all on their own.

Those red stairs continuously showed they were connected.

And it worked so well since Qian and Yuan were black and white.

So every time the red showed up between them, it was just a reminder of their connection.

And that they were meant to be together.

Because with Yuan, Qian is lighter.

Without him, he is completely dark.

That red street brought them together.

It's where their story began, both as brothers, and as partners.

And it was extended even to San Pang and Lili.

Yuan and Qian's light and dark dynamic was constantly reinforced.

Again and again

And when Yuan told Qian not to be afraid of the cracks because that's where the light comes in, it reinforced the whole purpose of this light and dark dynamic.

In Qian's dark world, Yuan brought light. When Qian thought he was flawed, Yuan showed him he was loved. Where Qian thought he was broken, Yuan healed him.

So for Yuan to say that he thinks Qian's mother brought them together, and for us to always see in her red . . .

In a painful way, Yuan is right. Qian is who he is because of the hurt from his mother. Qian would have never met Yuan, would have never protected Yuan, and would have never loved Yuan the way he had if he hadn't been so adamant to never be his mother.

And because of that, Yuan can return that love to Qian (while they are balanced in similar colors)

AND THE BLACK BRACELET! (Since Qian is color coded black, him giving Yuan his color is so significant, and now Yuan is giving him back all that love!)

The red brought them together.

And now they get to sit there in this soft blinding light of love in their soft pinks being happy and in love with each other!

Take your award, Unknown!

Fucking Taiwan, hurting me twice with this damn red thread.

Updated Kaiju AU Names/Species/Category List

As mentioned in my concept art post, I wound up creating an updated list of the kaiju and their creature forms! Some wound up getting updates to their code names as well to be more fitting, so hopefully these names will flow better now!

At some point I plan on doing a description based post where I describe each one and what they look like, but that's for another day.

On revisiting the old list here, I had no idea how many I'd given spider-like features and in the end it didn't make sense to me. 😅 I'm happier with how some of them are now! As I get more of their designs figured out, species may change slightly by adding or taking away, but we'll see!

And yes, I've added other characters since their introductions (both English and Japanese, though holding off on one since he hasn't been introduced to English servers yet from the storybook event)! There are some I haven't figured out how to add them to the story just yet, so if you don't see their names there, I hadn't forgotten them!

I just haven't figured out how to add them or what they'd actually be yet 😓 But that doesn't mean they'll be completely out of the picture! Just temporarily sidelined.

Now on to the update!

Margaret Hamilton is shown standing beside listings of the software developed by her and the team she was in charge of, the LM [lunar module] and CM [command module] on-board flight software team.

According to Hamilton, this now-iconic image (at left, above) was taken at MIT in 1969 by a staff photographer for the Instrumentation Laboratory — later named the Draper Laboratory and today an independent organization — for use in promotion of the lab’s work on the Apollo project.
