Actually, I'm still pissed

#E8 #izzy hands #ofmd s2 #Today I'm pissed because if I was to rewatch the show I'll know that all this beautiful growth ends like this #I think there isn't an argument that would persuade me it's not depressing #Really #Just because it could be a good choice story wise or symbolically etc #I'd still be pissed #That a show that healed my depression and gave me hope just suddenly lost that #In an instant #The fact that I was analyzing this show so intensely recently made me develop a habit of reaching themes metaphors and all that #And it makes it impossible for my trained brain to just ignore how this episode recontextualized everything

Now this might be because I have issues but is it just me or does Slay The Princess feel like an allegory for a relationship?

#like i dont even mean the actual textual stuff like the two gods loving each other i mean like #while the narrator himself does say that he is not the protagonist at all the voices do in fact count him as one of them and #both the narrator and the voices are described as shattered glass pieces on the floor #and im saying that just to contextualise what im about to say because i feel like the narrator is an echo of someone who was in #a relationship with another person and is trying to 'slay' the memory of this person and defeat death not only literally but #on a metaphorical level (as in the death of a relationship). if you do slay her you destroy her memory and in that way you do not know her #at all nor do you care to #and the routes would be the perspectives held by different parts of you. shes literally a being that changes based on who perceives her #but metaphorically thats just how people work isnt it? relationships are complicated and there is a part of you who sees someone as a razor #and there is a part of you who sees them as a damsel and another who sees them as a god etc etc #its like youre a person who is trying to make sense of the situation and; which is why the construct of the princess is made up of #several vessels called perspectives. you understand the whole of what you think only when you take apart all your perspectives;#and theres a you who isnt you anymore who doesnt want to do this. hes telling you to just destroy it. it was wholly wretched and wholly bad #and it changed which is a crime in itself. theres an echo of you. and theres you; built by this echo because thats how the self works #we are each our own god and we build ourselves. the different voices are like different parts of you #much like the vessels are the equivalent of the voices. theyre the finite confined perspectives; aspects of a whole person #and slaying her in this context would obviously mean literally just destroying the memory and deciding that change and all it brings #is an awful thing. though im not yet sure what the difference between leaving with the whole and between separating yourself #and leaving with just an aspect would be.#thats probably like the only thing thats kinda ruining this interpretation lol #oh and obviously a lot of the routes have like very strong relationship symbolism. specifically a lot of them feel like #scenes from a relationship that is falling apart. for example in the adversary and then the fury when you run away the dialogue #basically mimics a partner running away from a conflict and the other one destroying themselves because of it #witch and the thorn are both heavily Esop-coded and the text itself says that its about two people hurting each other even though they love #each other but both are afraid of the other one and of being vulnerable. thorn is about finding forgiveness in one another #and deciding to be better and love each other despite the hurt youve caused each other due to your problems #etc etc #like am i insane am i mental am i projecting?

nobody even cares abt symbolism anymore these days smh

#we live in a society 😔#this has been a shitpost #not me i was born to read into things and ponder the symbolism and the metaphors and the meanings and parallels etc #everything is so boring #remember when all the art and architecture clothing etc everything was so full of symbolism all the time

DRAGON AGE: INQUISITION -> CORINTHA TREVELYAN

"There was about her a wildness that flashed in her eyes. She was spoiled and beautiful and easily bored."

you look into my mind its just a rotating png of dean winchester

#hes my everything im obsessed with him #the characterization the metaphors the symbolism #the themes the motifs #the way our perception as an audience is used to depict his lack of a real personal identity #every detail here conveys something #foaming at the mouth gnawing on wires etc etc #soupy wisdom #spn

i literally hate the argument of like I bet the writer didnt even think abt that metaphor lolll

1. even if they didnt interpretations of the text are still important and symbolism can be unintentional but still very powerful

2. You would not believe how insane writers r abt their metaphors

#i have been friends with writers and if you let them they will talk for Hours about how x represents their characters and how that ties in #this isnt a complaint i rly rly rly love seeing ppl gush abt their work... and i lovee symbols motifs metaphors allusions similes etc.#major major fan of literary devices

mindscape thing has got me thinking tho. Like realistically what would cbeeduo’s mindscapes look like? Like how do they view the mechanics of their own processes and stuff.

But imagine finding out that your spouse is afraid of you and also being Tubbo. Like I would love to watch that breakdown

Any normal answer: cRa–

The fact that it's 4/13 tomorrow: Land of Rivers and Obsidian (LORAO) // A gloomy world with deep, sluggish rivers and twisting networks of obsidian caves.

#LETHE IS SUCH GOOD SYMBOLISM FOR RANBOO FOR SO MANY REASONS. RHE OBSIDIAN CAVES R PANIC ROOM METAPHOR OBVIOUSLY BUT ALSO THE MINING THING #BOTH THE RIVERS AND THE CAVES ARE AS AFOREMENTIONED EXTREMELY DEEP AND WHILE THE CURRENT IS SLOW THE SAFETY THIS IMPLIES IS DECEPTIVE #THE CAVES ALSO DON'T APPEAR DEEP. HOWEVER .#It's always Just One More Turn. Etc #Three don't look

ling chen is SUCH a diva i ADORE him. also if i stop to think about how yzm took on the panluosi/penrose mantle in the new timeline i might simply explode. fruitiest thing superheroes can do imo but also the themes…the foils….dies

LITERALLYYY THE IDENTITY TAKING ON WHOLE NEW MEANING THE IMPOSSIBLE MADE REALITY THE PENROSE SYMBOLISMMM

#the way ling chen stops using the penrose image for himself #the way a penrose triangle is something that cannot exist in reality #the way him not using it for himself anymore symbolizes his attainment of the impossible (happiness. loved ones being alive etc)#the way this symbol is now ye zimus #the way ling chen presented him with this symbol #the way this is a metaphor for ye zimus very existence being the impossible thing which made all this possible #dont touch meee #villinit #ask

hellooooo korka. do you have any big influences on your writing style? specific stories/authors you read that really inspired how you write. thank you love <3

Ooo!! Interesting question :o i guess it's been so long since I've started developing my style, i can barely remember who i was inspired by most... i think i remember reading writers who used irony often, and i loved using it myself, giving the omniscient narrator a dash of personality. Sometimes i wanna use it again :> Right now, I mostly wanna take inspiration from Marinković and the like. I found his mastery of wordplay so good, it really made everything feel profound.

I think with me, right now, i take more inspiration for themes and motifs (from Poe, from Baudelaire, so on) than for a specific style, but every once in a while I'll read a book, have to pause and backtrack to analyse what devices the author used that made the paragraph i'd just read pop lol. I can't remember what books those would have been back when I started writing (and which have probably influenced my style a lot more than any recent), but I very distinctly remember reading Cyclops by Marinković and thinking "This is the sort of style I want to write in, this is the sort of vocabulary and flow and wit I want in my writing". I think I mould my style more by reading about literary periods these days - I love mixing elements of the romantic period with elements of avant-garde especially

#i unfortunately don't follow horace's mimesis but horace was full of shit anyway #/hj i probably should learn from other writers but the thing is i have my own idea of what feelings i want my style to evoke #and they're so specific that i have trouble finding writers who evoke them #ofc when i do i make sure to read extra slowly to really analyse and dissect how and with what tools the writer managed that #but in general i just look at my style and go. i should use more metaphors and euphemisms for the macabre that make it sound cheerful to #imitate a sort of paradox or oxymoron that is to evoke the feeling of unease or uncanniness that comes with something ugly presented as #beautiful (<- the Baudelaire influence) yknow? and then i read baudelaire and go ''oh he used such vulgar words for terms relating to death #but the words he used relating to things celebrated in society were eloquent and the style is almost elevated because of that - i should #try something like that'' and so i try to use vulgar words for vulgar topics but surround them with flowers and symbols of beauty #etc etc #asks

The River by Aurora

#{ muse music }#side muse: ashelia #{this for me is ashelia breaking free of her various metaphorical chains}#{the expectations placed on her... social constraints... being told who to marry... etc}#{i love the symbolism of her cutting her own natural growth}#{and it hurting her every time... like aurora's body language each time she cuts the vines is so moving}#{and then she decides to stop cutting and throw the scissors away}#{it's like... yes ashe had these expectations and limitations placed on her culturally and otherwise}#{but she was also imposing them on herself too}#{until one day she realizes... she doesn't have to}#{and after that she becomes who she's meant to be}

and in heath's base ego his face is uncovered but you know what IS on that side? THE GRAVE AND BODYSACK 🧐 (deranged)

GOD TRUE ANON WE ARE COOKING U AND ME DERANGED... another thought:

right arm is always the Fucked Up One. for bodysack only the right is bloodied, in telepole and aedd it's electrified... the right is where he wears his ring too. now, my form empties doesn't follow the trend but...

🤔... idk. thinks and thinks.

#ask the bell #anonymous #limbus company #heathcliff lcb #'where are you going with this' IDK THERE IS THINGS ON MY SCREEN!!#but okay i think: left side is metaphorically cathys eye and her side while the right is the abno powerrr #left is the memory of the love or w/e while right is the Sin the wrath the envy etc etc.#in the egos hate is taking over on a visual and physical level. i just think this guy is pretty cool #LAST THING i wonder if cathy's covered eye is like. their version of the dog bite scene from the book and shes scarred there #then this becomes even more fun like if the eye's the symbol of yk. the start of them being forced apart. hmm
