Tumblr has made me so jaded and bitter. I desperately need an app to share a unique personalities and creativity, not a place where people just consume and don't care about anything but consumption and politics and arguments about various other superficial vapid things that don't matter like every other app.
Or even just a personality, I would take that too. The world could be so bright and interesting and my mental issues with clear up like anything if I could just meet people that I spiritually connected with, which happens maybe every once every blue moon but it's only those blue moons that keep me going.

𝐂𝐗𝐗𝐗𝐈. On another note, I have discovered something interesting. Before (I forgot how long it's been since then lol) I talked about Dain representing hope in two ways, one in his title as Twilight Sword —twilight can also be seen as the fall of something, but assuming that by his color palette he's to represent the blue hour, it also represents the previous moment to the rise of the sun, thus the coming of light— and another is his similarities with the Inteyvat.
He's a man full of rising against the odds: despite the curse he's still somehow sane, despite the corruption he doesn't have the breath of a monster, despite identifying himself as a Khaenri'ahn he isn't following the Abyss Order's steps, despite being a "dreg" for not being chosen by the gods and thus not holding a Vision, his strength is indisputable...
And to the previous two, I want to add a third one that is directly tied to his artwork, which depicts big black hole at his back (most likely related to his burst, as it is customary with other characters' artwork): the concept of light emerging from a black hole despite the fact that not even light can escape a black hole. What the theory says about this is that past the event horizon, only that which exceeds the speed of light —the highest speed of all— can escape the massive gravitational pull of the black hole.
However, there are elements such as light echoes or relativistic jets that give the impression of light escaping the black hole. The truth behind this is that, while they are technically in the black hole, the particles that cause this light are close to the event horizon but not past is so that they wouldn't be able to come out from it. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean that there isn't a gravitational pull there either. Anything that stays at that point can either fall or stay there and have its energy shine through.
I think that this could be another beautiful metaphor of what Dain is if we think of the black hole as the toxic and death-precipitating Abyss (I do this distinction because I'm one to think that in earlier times it wasn't that way, something more of a neutral ground instead) and he himself as that light that, "against all odds", escapes the black hole-Abyss even though it shouldn't be that way.
