Another year, another outfit to die in! Happy birthday again Izuna!!!!!!
Like last year, I played with someone else's lines for these charming patterns, thank you so much Lena @elhnrt ! I had a ton of fun :D
Check the readmore for pattern references and explanations, there are some easter eggs in there :)
(x,x,x,x)
My goal for this piece, in addition to playing with patterns and textures and adding some Naruto references, was to add as many death flags as possible.
The idea of having Izuna in a fireman's coat is obviously not from me. I've always like the idea of Uchihas in fire resistant clothes, and the opportunity for a thick texture alongside a reversible double pattern is very appealing. I used the image of the second reference as a base, with skulls on one side and stylized lightning patterns on the other (visible inside the sleeves and collar). Both were common immagery of firemen coats.
The actual skull pattern is taken from the third reference. I'd seen this one before and before even learning anything abt it it was too beautiful to pass up. Those white and navy gradients are absolutely delightful and I enjoyed using my gel pens for them very much.... This particular type of imagery with skulls and bones in a field is called Nozarashi, inspired by Buddhist representation of death and transience.
The lightning pattern itself is a reference to water and lightning dragons :) Like Tobirama's iconic jutsu, it's one of the hints of what's abt to happen to our little guy. The scabbard is also decorated with dragon motifs for the same reason.
The background pattern is taken from the first reference, another fireman's coat with an illustration of Raijin, the thunder god. He is often representated with drums decorated with tomoes. It works nicely as a standard looking sharingan illustration, with a reference to Tobirama's hiraishingiris with the thunder imagery, like the thunder patterns inside the coat.
If you're interested in this I recommend the book linked in the second reference! It is entirely about skeleton motifs in japanese clothing of the early 20th century.

Sick of the ‘old money’ discourse on tiktok. Sophia Richie’s wedding was not ‘stealth wealth’, ‘quiet luxury’ whatever. It was literally in Vogue! She posted tiktoks about it! No amount of cable knit vests, tennis skirts or ‘elegance’ will get you into those circles. They are hundreds of years old, built on the backs of slavery and exploitation and they don’t need an aesthetic to recognise each other because old money knows old money. You cannot replicate it and you look stupid trying. I understand liking the aesthetics of polo shirts, but is that whole world what we’re striving for? What happened to ‘eat the rich’?

Something something about boundaries, barriers, curtains and mirrors in I Feel You Linger in the Air trailer
I do love the lace curtains. Should I buy some for my rooms? They're hard to clean tho
Oh poor poor boy. It's not easy to hide yourself and your love, eh. You're gonna go through so much.
OOH. A fragmented sense of self and reality? Why is this so eerily similar to the bars of a cell in a prison
An aesthetic love nest. Goals. I do hope nothing drags them out of the safety of this place
Reflection huh.
Flirting technique no 1: Back them against a pillar so they can't run away
He's losing his reality and self??? Still too affected by today's class on self, individual and social reality and symbolic interactionism, maybe I should study instead of scrolling through tumblr

Hi there friend :)
I was wondering if I could get a name association vibe for the name Joseph/Joey that I've been contemplating using? Can it have queer/mlm vibes if possible?
I hope you're well and remember to look after yourself :)
Hey buddy!!! That's such a great name I'll totally support you if you want to start using it! Here's the board I made for you:
The name means rising, so I used colours inspired by the flag in a gradient to represent this. I really hope you like it! :D
