KANEKO’S CRIB NOTES LXV: SEVEN SEAS OF CRIBS
Halloween is on the approach, and what could this mean? Tricks, treats? Skeletons, witches, draculae? A child's laughter sounding lightly through the autumn leaves? No, it doesn't mean any of that GARBAGE- it's time for the annual outing of KANEKO'S CRIB NOTES! Please enjoy this smattering of delirious cribs that will make you think "damn, that's the thing that the other thing is based on".
NEZHA: The modern pop sensibility of Soul Hackers is on display in Nezha's Astro Boy inspired design, drawing a parallel between the two "rebuilt" child heroes. It's evident from the twin spikes and whatever the fuck that is, you know, his metallic underwear I suppose.
CHERUB: Following the probably erroneously designated 'Ophanim' from SMTII, and playing on Kaneko's documented fascination with angelkind as spacecraft, this Devil Summoner take on Cherub pushes the concept even further, borrowing a look from the cover of ancient alien classic The Spaceships of Ezekiel by Joseph F. Blumrich. Compare the cover to the Japanese edition that Kaneko was more likely familiar with!
SERAPH: The composition of Seraph's four heads and crossed arms is a likely homage to the iconic cover of 1974's Queen II. Slap that shit on your dorm room wall for a change!
TITANIA: Titania's appearance in SMTII is a slightly embellished take on this Brian Froud illustration of the ghostly Glaistig of Scotland. Thanks to Psiguy for originally sharing this ID from @yen_den, based on a post uploaded to the @theavalonians twitter account!
FIONN MAC CUMHAILL: In the spirit of equanimity, a last addition to the DOI'S CRIB NOTES series: Fionn Mac Cumhaill appears to be inspired by the dress of legendary illustrator J.C. Leyendecker's 'Cu Chulainn Riding His Chariot Into Battle' (1911), from the rectangular pattern of his mail-coat down to the telltale 'X' meander that runs along the fringe of either cloak.

Collab with @neoxghoul 🕷️🕸️🕯️🖤
"Better of dead than stuck in a maze the center may seem like a gift, once you arrive I'll strip you of your life, and you'll wish that you never... did.."
Favourite "PORTALS" visual:
"SPIDER WEB" is my favourite "PORTALS" visual, ever since i heard the snippet of the song i knew this song was going to be my favourite song from all the songs in the album. I relate to the meaning of "SPIDER WEB" beucase Melanie said it's about being addicted to your phone. I honestly am addicted to my phone since it's the only way i can escape reality, if you get what i mean, but still "SPIDER WEB" has a special place in my heart, i just love it so much, the instrumental, the lyrics, everything. 🕷️🕸️🕯️🖤

so fucked up how literally the only people on the planet that could've understood will and his experiences with the supernatual were billy and the flayed and they're all dead. he's one of a kind in the worst of ways. no one knows what it's like to be invaded on such a level, to have each and every one of your thoughts and senses and cells inhabited and handled by another person. not a monster with no understanding of the true cruelty it's committing, but a man who does, who even knows what it's like to be powerless, too, and will now do anything to secure complete and total control over others so that he never feels that way again. will, who was taken and subjected to his fate no matter if he ran and hid or stood his ground and fought. will, who has people that love him dearly, but that will never truly be able to understand what he lived through. will, who has always been right there, who has always cried out for help, who has always been invisible until it was already way too late.
