your teeth and your tongue, bright red from tiger's blood
#monkey d luffy#portgas d ace#sabo#asl brothers#one piece#tiger's blood (literal) as their shared blood from growing up surviving the jungle together#but also tiger's blood (the flavor) as a symbol of those shared childhood days and the summertime spirit#and maybe it wasn't easier or better but it was different and you can't get it back and you'll carry it with you always#the lyric is from waxahatchee's tigers blood#which i feel like is about how you hold onto the bonds that you've lost#and they bring you both joy and grief#but you treasure them either way#please give it a listen its so good#anyways i have a lot of feelings abt this piece haha#nagas art

there is something so horrible about destroying churches, or any place of worship. im not even religious. it’s about the fact that people were so devoted, put so much effort into building and decorating and just experiencing this part of their life, that they hold so important. and all that effort is taken away by a fucking bomb
I find religion beautiful, and it’s harrowing to see these things happening in PaIestine and no one cares. suddenly now no one cares about religion or the importance of religious monuments
#religious monuments are important they are beautiful they are symbols of what matters to the people who made it#they are history#rambles#I hate this#I know I’m privileged to even be talking about this from my apartment but that’s why I’m doing it anyway#it’s easy to feel powerless because I mostly am#but I’ll keep sharing every thing I can#free palestine

Though there are valid reasons to want characters to have their own identities, I think some people insist too much on the Batfamily having all individual, unique names. This is why the Orphan name persists so much in fandom, or even Wayne Family Adventures - it's a byproduct of seeing 'Batgirl' as transitory and lesser than. This is not only a misunderstanding of Batgirl, but a misunderstanding of legacy mantles. Legacy mantles aren't stepping stones towards individuality, but identities with symbolic and storied histories. Characters can, and sometimes should, end in a legacy role.
It's also interesting that this anti-legacy philosophy is exactly what DC adopted during the New 52. They destroyed virtually every legacy they could, including wiping Tim's Robin history, erasing the JSA, and deleting Cass and Steph's histories. We all agree New 52 was bad, but most people focus on the content/ramifications on a specific character, when it's the philosophy that was wrong. New 52 was an effort to diminish the power of legacy titles, and to dismiss many characters that fall under the legacy umbrella.
Some characters should grow out of their mantles, of course. But that doesn't make the mantle they grow out of less meaningful or important than the mantle they step into. If we want to leave the New 52 behind, we need to leave its anti-legacy philosophy behind, too.
#batman#batfam#batgirl#robin#dc comics#this is obviously how i feel about 'orphan' but also 'the signal'#it is not 'better' that duke is a hero with no history instead of a legacy#he was explicitly denied the prestige connection and symbolism of the robin role that he was geared up to take#'everyone should have their own name' is also bat-centric because i don't think people are arguing about sharing the name 'green lantern'#not every legacy role is robin!! not every legacy role represents youth!! not every legacy role is a step to something bigger!!#(even robin itself is flexible in this regard)#anyway tim drake can steal as many names as he wants <3

my piece for @thecodywanzine! thanks to the mods who let me go completely ham and cheese on this bad boy. this one's about living longer than you ever expected and not knowing what to do with it
#they're having a leftover sale with free shipping if you want a ridiculous amount of art and merch for an insanely low price#codywan#commander cody#obi-wan kenobi#star wars#comics#codywan zine#i went kinda nuts with the sun symbolism on this one. even i feel like its hamfisted but like listen am i not going to self-indulge#if not in a shipping zine piece then where#hope and love and the sun and etc can be an. omelette. spanish omelette specifically. that you share with your fambly#food cw#its also about looking at your best friend over a table and going. i lvoe you. i love you. i want to spend the rest of my life with you#i want to see the future with you. im so glad we're both alive even though i thought we'd both be dead by now#bytebun draws#lets not talk about the way there is zero consistency in my art style. <3

So we have Jackie's association with rabbits (despite her not actually liking them). Jackie's parents gifting Shauna ceramic bunnies. Melissa acting as a stand in for Jackie and therefore a default association with rabbits along with her animal mask during the hunt representing a rabbit. And now Akilah being the one to care for all the rabbits in their camp. And she has shared a vision with Shauna. Van also shared this vision and when her and Tai as adults went to the ice cream parlor they saw a coyote catch a rabbit. Adult Shauna butchering the bunny in her yard that was digging up her garden. Tai in the teen timeline cutting the bunny's throat in an attempt to bring out other tai. Akilah hallucinating the bunnies being dead but then actually killing them.

Adding on from my comment in the replies: the llama in Akilahs dream telling her that everything with teeth bites, her caring for the bunnies, the prey animals, and Mel wearing the bunny mask while attempting to kill Shauna, like she's fighting back for what Shauna did to her and all of them. Something about going for the throat instead of any other way, same thing in vision Shauna had in the shared dream. Akilah being told by Lottie that if Shauna dies they all die and now Akilah being missing in the finale...

Also makes me wonder why we haven't seen any with Javi, considering he's the youngest. But maybe because he was more vulnerable than the team because of his age, it was all lost once he saw his father dead in the tree. But he was also the closest to Shauna, not as much Jackie or Melissa but similar... often following her around taking inspiration to make something because of her, then him being the first person she has to butcher

Something about how herbivores undergo 'opportunistic carnivory' where if they come across a carcass of an animal, they will eat some of it. This is believed to be a way for them to get nutrients they wouldn't other wise get from a plant based diet. It has been observed in several animals such as deer, horses, and rabbits.
#yellowjackets#yellowjackets season 3#shauna shipman#Jackie Taylor#akilah yellowjackets#something about how Mel's braids when Shauna shot at her#being similar to her bunny mask#I don't care if there's an actual connection#rabbit symbolism and motifs my beloved#let me cook#idk what yet#also love sharing the opporutnistic carnivore fact lol

"I can be a creator, the creator. It has happened before, and it will happen again, many times."
— Notes on poem 16, This House of Dreams
#alan wake 2#alan wake#I'm late to post this but thought I'd share it outside the Remedy server :-)#Tried to mix elements of Art Deco with symbolism from depictions of the Nataraja#Since I've always thought that the dance relates to Alan's predicament as a creator embroiled within his own creation kind of well + etc.#The scratched name at the bottom is supposed to be Scratch as Apasmara but it looks like a label lmao#Tried to forgo the many arms#But the hands still try to get at that simultaneous concealing & revealing#I don't know lmao I am certainly being pretentious. I think I would like to remake this sometime.#I like to think that in being limited to a silhouette there's little distinction between Wake/Zane. Ah the excuses I make for my laziness#Okayokay I'll stop haha

My page for @kairizine. It was such a huge honor to be part of this wonderful book with everyone, I had so much fun!
[id in alt!]
#kingdom hearts#kh#kh kairi#kh xion#kh namine#i don't really feel proud of my own stuff usually but#i really think this is the drawing i'm most proud of from this past year!! it made me think 'oh maybe i can draw' haha#i'm still kinda bad with colors but something clicked with this one. and i feel like i got the sentimental feeling i wanted!#ooh but this project's about flower symbolism so ramble incoming:#protea symbolizes resilience transformation and diversity; hollyhock means 'please remember me.'#so my general theme was finding a sense of self.#these 3 have struggled with finding their own identity; they tend to get left behind both in-universe and in general plotwise#and naminé and xion both resemble kairi and were overshadowed by her memory. but i feel like all 3 have transformed into their own people#xion and naminé have their faces covered partially by hollyhock to show their wish to be remembered for who they are-#instead of the parts that they share with someone else#and the protea bouquets show how they each held on and resiliently grew into their own person despite it all#i put a little swervy path on the hill behind kairi to give that hopeful sense of growth and moving forward. it's a little hard to see#hopefully that makes sense! i really love symbolism but i think in visuals so i'm really bad with words#but gosh working with everyone on this project was so fun. it was like impossible not to get swept up by the team's hype for this zine#i need to hunt down everybody's work and rb it#ohh and everybody's flowers are so crisply drawn it's insane!! i think if i lined all these flowers and leaves i'd die haha#fan art#my art#project stuff

had the idea of adding the glyphs from the owl house onto my denim jacket so I taught myself embroidery and did this as a first project!
here's hoping I'm not gonna randomly glow/freeze/burn alive/have a plant grow out of my shoulder I guess?
Close-ups, pic in sunlight (showing the proper colours), and fire glyph progress pics under the cut I swear I also took progress pics of the other glyphs but I can't find them rn




they're all about 5 cm in diameter and I personally think the ice glyph came out a little wobbly but it was my first embroidery ever and the fabric on that part of the jacket is also a little wobbly so I'm happy with the result
the lovely yellow lighting in my room is biting me in the ass rn bc the yellow and green are a lot lighter irl and the blue and red are a bit more vibrant

here's a photo I took in the sun that captures the colours better!



the fire glyph was the last one! I believe there were like two and a half months between finishing the third glyph and starting this one oops (but also yay bc the weather was amazing this weekend so I did a large chunk of the fire glyph while sitting in the sun!)

and a picture of the shoulder while I'm wearing the jacket! though normally the position of the fire glyph falls a little less front-facing (which is great irl bc that way it looks more interesting from the side and back instead of just from the front)
#so yeah a while ago i was lamenting to myself that i don't have art to share on tumblr bc i don't make art#upon realising that my fabric crafts also count i promised myself I'd make a tumblr post when this project was finished#bc hey this still counts as fanart right?#for my first ever embroidery project i'm genuinely so glad with how they came out#wdym if i want i can just learn to do a thing and then do the thing???#anyone got fun ideas for my second embroidery project?#currently considering making the 6 elemental symbols from aurora (red's webcomic) (it's a very fun comic)#those would be a lot smaller than these i think#more like little details#little flourishes that add some liveliness to the jacket but are only clear when you take a closer look#but also these glyphs are already very scarcely recognized (though two or three people have exclaimed 'is that owl house?!' already)#the aurora element symbols would be enormously more obscure#nobody is gonna recognize them#they do look fun though so that's enough reason to do it anyway i guess#but I'm also still open to other ideas to consider#embroidery#fabric crafts#the owl house#toh#owl house#toh fanart#the owl house fanart#fanart#also I'm queueing this one to post tomorrow morning bc i hope that way more mutuals will see it

Addam, The Sea Snake’s Heir
Artist: Dottea (twt/bsky)
#valyrianscrolls#asoiaf#fire and blood#addam velaryon#addam of hull#corlys velaryon#rhaenyra targaryen#syrax#vermithor#dragons#the dance of the dragons#fanart#asoiaf art#a commission from last year that I never got to share here before#I do love the imagery of addam reaching for the apple#ft. the snake#though the apple is just a pearl covered in blood#I find it to be the perfect symbolic representation of the driftmark succession crisis which left so many velaryons dead#syrax is obviously meant to represent rhaenyra#vermithor is only partially visible but since he’s also the cause of addam’s death he’s included here too#and of course corlys as the puppet master controlling the course of events#though I would say that addam wasn’t just corlys’ pawn but his partner too#these two certainly flew a little too close to the sun scheming as they did
