OP / inktober day 14 : castle Prints are available for this and all proceeds will be donated to Anera for their relief efforts in Palestine. If you don't want to buy the print, please consider making a donation anyway.

ramble time. i'm still recovering from a fever but i wanted to finish this one asap. figuring out the composition took a while though and i had to resketch it all.

I also had to modify the original idea just a little bit to fit as a call for donation, and then got sad about it bc im weak but at least that was good for my sinuses

Do you go back towards the castle where the dogs are, or do you go back to your frog pond?

Anyways I think about the fact that the trader can see John all the time

Happy Birthday, Fuuta! (~600 word yap session about T3 Fuuta predictions + phoenix symbolism under the cut because I am incredibly excited for his birthday TL and have English this semester.)

To establish some background, Fuuta is described as “good-hearted” on the wiki page, and in the past he has stated he cares for Haruka, but usually when we see him he’s just being an asshole (or “caring” in strange ways like… offering Mahiru a tomato on her birthday???)

But in the TL since his 2023 TL with Amane and her preaching to him, we have actually seen Fuuta being OVERTLY caring. Although he may have always been good-hearted deep down, he’s always been a pretty big asshole on the surface so it’s still a massive change for him.

Putting these two TLs side by side, we can also see his tone has visibly changed - he’s referring to Mahiru by name (I don’t think he’s ever done so before in any TL 😭), and he’s a lot more hesitant, soft spoken, and thoughtful.

I think his mannerisms stem partly from Amane’s influence, but also from the remnants of his desire to act as a “hero”. With those combined, Fuuta is likely letting his kinder side show more often as a means for “salvation” - namely being forgiven, essentially “repenting for his sins”. 

Now, what happens now that he IS forgiven? Fuuta’s primary symbol is fire, which can be likened to his strong beliefs. In T2 this “fire” in him is slowly withering out, yet also being replaced by… whatever this new “salvation” thing is. The purpose of the voting in Trial 1 and 2 is to affirm/deny the prisoner’s beliefs, so this new fire - his new beliefs - are being metaphorically reignited.

That’s where the phoenix symbolism comes in. We also see him literally burning to ashes in Backdraft, potentially representing the death of his former self.

And what rises from the ashes? The phoenix, obviously! Phoenixes are known to resurrect themselves after death, in some interpretations dying by their own fire, bearing similarities to Fuuta being burnt by his own “fire” in Backdraft. With his forgiven vote, a new kind of fire may be ignited within him hence the rebirth of the phoenix.

This is a stretch, but fun fact: the Chinese phoenix, mostly used in Eastern mythology, is denoted by the characters 鳳凰 (Fènghuáng) with etymology related to the character for wind… which happens to be in the Kanji for Fuuta’s name (風汰 or Fēngtài in Chinese pinyin).

Phoenixes are also like angels but with fire. This isn’t a well-researched point, it’s just that Amane has angel symbolism/wings in Magic and wings combined with Fuuta’s fire symbolism is just a phoenix. Yeah.

With all that being said… Happy birthday, Fuuta. Today is certainly a good day to be reborn.

“All I’m saying is, if you don’t think Steve Harrington’s attractive, you won’t be into this Captain Free boy of yours.” “Oh yeah? And why’s that?” “Because it is Steve Harrington.” Eddie rocks on his feet briefly. Wayne is shifting to the side to make way for him, before he’s consciously aware that he's bounded up the steps and is leaning over the railing, peering in to see for himself. His eyes are drawn to the man sitting almost behind the pillar at once. Not because of the sunflower resting on the table in front of him. Not because of the book laid beside it, where one broad hand is tapping, either along to the music inside or the beat of his own anxiety. Not even because of the way he’s restless, in motion, turning those beseeching brown eyes on every person who passes by him, in a way Eddie is frankly surprised doesn’t have each one of them involuntarily pulling out the empty chair opposite him, compelled by the power of that look to just take a seat before they know what’s happening. Eddie’s eyes snap to him at once, because of the way his perfectly tousled brown hair falls just so over his forehead when he glances down at his golden wristwatch. Because of the way his charcoal gray v-neck sweater hugs his arms and shoulders, the exposed collar of the white undershirt beneath it making the strong column of his neck look sun-warmed, even in a Chicago winter. Eddie’s eyes find him immediately. Because he’s lovely. Because he’s beautiful. And because he’s unmistakably Steve fucking Harrington.

I like to think that being a Black wasn’t all bad.

I like to think that they loved each-other, once.
