#White Mourning

[probablyasocialecologist]

The full text of White Mourning is painful: You see yourself from above. You’re passed out on the blue tiles of the hostel room floor. Even from this distance you can see your eyelids flutter — at the mention of what? A great white object, letting out its sweet smell, like a Lily of the Valley. The little man’s forgotten its name, but he still remembers the feeling. And look, he moves! The feeling animates him. He instinctively reaches out for the feeling’s best friend — a bottle of Commodore Red. He puts on his disco clothes and gets smaller and smaller… …and the little guy gets smaller and smaller as you rise above the doll house world. You see him out in the snow, on the streets, in the shop on the corner, and, finally, in a matchbox house. Sitting by the window, white flowers on the windowsill. You can smell them from up here: it’s awful. A white mourning. A modern death. Divorce, or something similar. All you can do is put more distance between you and him, make him smaller. Make him less you. Internalizing White Mourning pulls the camera back. Harry’s body, on the screen, becomes literally smaller and the world so much bigger. He takes in as much stimulus as he can in order to dissociate from his own personhood. This is one way of coping.

MOST ICONIC BIRD CALL BRACKET: ROUND 1: MOURNING DOVE vs. WHITE CROWNED SPARROW

IN THE BLUE CORNER, hailing from your local park, we have the feathered fighter, the flying phenomenon, the mourning dove!

the mourning dove may be mourning, but it's ready to bring the pain to any opponent that steps into the ring. one of the most abundant birds in north america, this opponent is named after its doleful, unassuming call, a series of soft coos. this bird may be gentle, but don't let its soft demeanor fool you. this bird is a fighter!

IN THE RED CORNER, we have the king of the ring, the white crowned sparrow!

with its striking black and white head and sweet melodic calls, this opponent is truly a sight to behold. but this bird is here to show it's not just a pretty face. it's not just here to compete, it's here to win.

I want it back / I drag its dead weight forward.

The reason Lan Wangji switches to wearing exclusively white as an adult and the reason Jiang Cheng switches to wearing exclusively purples as an adult is bc there was a period as teenagers where they would both sometimes wear light blues on the same day bc light blues are acceptable colors in both their sects and they each independently had the thought “I never want to match that guy on accident ever again” and changed their entire wardrobes to pursue that goal

OH HO OH

How many times do we think the deans have had the displeasure of accidentally Seeing people bang in that closet

MERRY YOU MESSY BITCH

Merry: I’m saying what if. We let them fuck

Mourn: UGHHH! Section H under article 69: “Homosexuality is forbidden on academy grounds.”

Merry, smugly points to a section right underneath that one which has clearly been written in with a black crayon after the fact that reads “ unless it’s funny!”: :3

Mourn: FINE-

THE WAY THE LITERALLY JUST CALLED ANNABEL DOWN BAD

Annabel is literally just the Dean‘s favourite character at this point, she’s their blorbo, in many ways, we are all probably the most similar to the deans in this comic because we two are way too interested in seeing how Lenore and Annabel’s relationship plays out

I really wish it wasn't so common for characters who were black in a medias early development/concept art to have their blackness toned downed or completely washed away

I still am not over the choice to turn parts of pan yue's hair white. He's menacing, he's merciless, yes yes, it's what he portrays outwardly, but also visible to everyone else are those streaks of white, his grief in full display, and not a single person thinks he is mourning his dead wife. He is cunning and secretive, but not with this. He could've dyed it back to black, but he doesn't, and so displays his greatest heartbreak, and no one sees this vulnerability.
