We dont appreciate this parallel enough.

Kanan sacrifing himself to certain capture for his crew

Ezra defending the sith weapon from getting into Darth Vaders hands

When faced with insurmountable odds, Ezra and Kanan stand strong and snark back to the threat. Cause if you can't beat em, atleast annoy them.

i finished that AND changed ✨

first of all, it was supposed to be one art piece, buuuut im also making an atsushi piece. why? it's all about their hairs headcanon - i mean, atsushi one IS canon, but with aku, i think about dazai pulling his hair one. it is just this possibility of a similar past that inspired me. another thing that they can have in common. cause they're so similar i want to scream, how i love this fact. they can understand each other. they have this potential of turing from enemies to someone more, friends/lovers.

THEY CHARACTERS AND RELATIONSHIP HAVE SO MUCH POTENTIAL

also i added their flowers 🩷 GOSH i can't wait to finish atsushi piece

Buck to Tommy: "Try to get your attention is pretty kinda of exausting"

Tommy confused: "My attention?"

Buck: "Yeah, I guess so"

*Buck all the episode tried to get Eddie attention*

Kim to Eddie referring to Shannon: "She was the love of your life"

Intentional Parallels of Dragonriders.

Targtowers and Dragonseeds

Between these groups, there is reason to believe George intended for these 8 characters to have parallels with each other. They are on opposite sides of the war (for the most part), similar age line ups, none of them hatch dragons, and the group breakdown is exactly the same. I'll also be explaining why these are the pairs, but this is more book focused because it contains the whole narrative of the characters. I'll try to include book elements, but overall, this is a spoiler for HOTD and Fire and Blood.

Aegon and Hugh

They are the eldest of the groups. Both are on male dragons, renowned for their colour, and they both have kids in the show, and a wife they dismiss often, but that's neither here nor their. Both take on the leader role in the groups. Both call themselves King, in spite of there being direct issues with that. Both are lusty, violent, and drunk. At the end of their story, they are both killed by their men. They are also both complimented by their softer/ female counterpart. I do think show Aegon takes more from book High, his pursuit of the crown, and to rule is undermined by the men around him and isn't taken seriously. Daeron throws wine in Hugh's face in the books and for Show Aegon that doesn't seem so out of place.

Ulf and Helaena

My baby girl and this degenerate. I'm so sorry, but it's fair. The softer (very loose definition)/ female counterpart for the more traditionally masculine men. Both are the only female dragon riders, as in their dragons are female. They both have extreme reactions to things that happened during the war, Helaena with Blood and Cheese, but Ulf's character experiences a big behaviour change before and after the Gullet. They both die in the end as well, and both to some extent are self-induced. Ulf is poisoned (like Aegon), but he suspected the cups to be poisoned and drank anyway. Both their dragons also live past them, which isn't a very common thing in the war. Both their dragons also belonged to Targaryen queens before them, who are their only riders otherwise. Apparently, Aemond wants my girl to fight? Anyways...

Aemond and Nettles

I've done this more in depth here but for continuity sake.

Both ride really notable dragons that are strangely of the opposite sex of them. They both get or become the assumed paramour of older partners who possess some magic or power that they don't. Pregnancy is also a noted arc in their stories and affects their narratives. They also act as each other's welcome and goodbye into the narrative, Aemond can't come back while Nettle sis still there. They are both flying around the Riverlands in the end and are meant to parallel Daemon Targaryen. Both cost their teams allies as well in different ways. This one is more vague because I've done it before and better.

Daeron and Addam.

They are the most definitive and cohesive argument for this because they are the same age, and their dragons actually 'fight' each other. They also have the youngest dragons. Both are motivated by a horrible thing Rhaenyra does and inspire loyalty in the men they fight with. They are also charmers. Jace is tied to both of them as parallels as well and grew up with their mother's family. They are knighted during the war, and they die in the same battle against each other before they can truly fight. Genuinely read their parts of fire and blood if no one else. They are my boys.

Overall,

I do think they are an intentional Parallels on George's part, although their are similarities past this point. Helaena and Nettles are the girls of the group, Ulf and Aegon are sexual with implied young girls and so on. But I do think these groups were meant to be compared to each other.

A very fun well not so fun fact

This fact will contain sexism just a heads up and it’s for au purposes

Sunny is (was) a fan of joey Mcintyre around Season 2 and when the KOTNB minus Phineas and Henry cause their dads meet NKOTB, Sunny met her idol until joey asked one of the members who is the leader until that’s when sunny said that she’s the leader until that’s when Joey Laughed at sunny saying Girls can’t be leaders

This is a callback to A Big Time Rush episode “Big Time Break” when Logan wanted to go see his favorite mathematician Phoebe Nachee but due to her sexism stuff he pretty much got offended

queen of parallels and allusions strikes again

[hurts4maya]

I haven't seen anyone talk about the parrel scenes in Good Omens of Nina and Maggie getting locked in the coffee shop and Aziraphale and Crowley in the basement during the storm.

Both Nina and Crowley say something along the lines of 'might as well get comfortable' or 'well be stuck here for a while' and offer Maggie and Aziraphale alcohol, who both refuse.

Not to mention the similarity of their personalities. Crowley and Nina the dark haired, tall, supposedly pessimistic one (though Crowley is an optimistic) who like to get drunk after a break up. Aziraphale and Nina believe in the good of people, shorter, rounder, with fair hair and light toned clothing.

Before I got to episode six I was saying how Aziraphale and Crowley will get together because there are so many similarities between the lesbian couple and themselves.
