Nobody wants this but here we go!

Fox’s Mega Analysis Of Sleep Token Lore:

Edit: I like what I have here, but this is no longer my theory, lmao. I have very differnt thoughts, and while this is long and thought out and feels like what I would do with a novel like what Vessel is giving us, I do not think this is like... the big one anymore lol. New Theory over here (x)

Under a read more cause this is gonna get Long, I can feel it.

I'm not gonna go through every single song here, over all albums and singles only, if anyone finds my insight intriguing hit me up in my ask box and I’ll go into detail about some things I guess. (I'm more likely to answer if it's anon btw, I will answer if it's not but it's more,,,, comfy for me if you go on anon). Also, please keep in mind I have been here for only a couple weeks (legit I only got into them on the 3rd of April 2023), so If I've Missed Something, don't be a jerk about it, ok?

This whole thing is going off of a few assumptions others have made, and I've come to on my own really, namely that there is no woman who broke Vessel’s heart, all the songs are about Sleep, or ‘from’ Sleep’s pov; I think it’s more that Vessel is compelled to make songs from Sleep’s pov more then Sleep takes over, and the entire discography is a back and forth conversation of Vessel trying to get more from Sleep, and Sleep Taking More from Vessel instead. And then the other assumption is the opposite of the one I read, that all the albums are already in chronological order, and were not released out of order.

Now going off of ‘no woman that broke Vessel’* assumption, makes one wonder, what does Sleep offer Vessel in this relationship? Why would Vessel stay with sleep, when there’s really nothing for him to gain? The answer is simple. As long as we look past some assumptions already considered ‘canon’.

Sleep did Not give Vessel his powers. He already had them.

And what Sleep offers Vessel is control.

In the songs, Love = Control.

Sleep offers to control Vessels powers, and Vessel uses them in the name of sleep, and becomes a weapon (something he calls himself multiple times through out the whole discography).

Except that we can garner from a few (ie, most of them) of the songs that Vessel doesn’t like what sleep uses him for, and even tries, begs and pleads for Sleep to not use him for this. To ‘love’ him differently, because Vessel still doesn’t actually have control, sleep just uses the powers.

One is very beginning of things, where Vessel is not looking at the fact that Sleep isn’t doing what he says he will, he’s aware of the fact that Sleep isn’t offering him control ‘when the bough breaks’ (his powers over flowing and hurting/killing people), but he’s trying to reason still.

Two is awareness and denial, but still going along with what is happening, more aware of how this is not going the way he wishes it to. Jericho is the first song from Sleep's POV, and the idea of him Calling Vessel more worthy than a gods hands speaks to Vessel's powers. (which goes into a bit of the meta I put for twtyw) *the only song in the dicography that I think mentions SOMEONE else as Her is Nazareth, I think this song is about Sleep and Vessel 'sacrificing' a woman, now be that just as sex, or you know, actually killing someone, up to you.

Jaws is from sleep's pov, and it's him giving a bit to Vessel, but it's asking Vessel to show him control, more than sleep Giving all of it. I think its a bit of him testing Vessel's control he already has and what it takes to break it, more then anything else.

Hey-Ya this is a Vessel song. I think it's him trying to go back into a state of denial while not exactly seceding.

The Way That You Were I think this is also a Sleep song, I think sleep genuinely thinks he is helping Vessel. but I think sleeps version of trying to help Vessel is trying to get him to lose control, not gain it.

Sundowning is Vessel realizing that Sleep is probably not gonna do what he says he will do, and is begging and pleading with him to Do What He Says He’ll Do. Blood Sport is Vessel giving up, and trying to commit suicide, the ending where he is sobbing, "I made ‘loving you’ a blood sport I can’t win" is him saying ‘you won’t help me, I can’t win’.

from the room bellow these are pure Vessel songs, there's nothing in here that is for Sleep, it is just him, and finding meaning in other's words to maybe get around part of sleep and vessel's deal, Vessel not being to write a song that is not in some way a worship of Sleep.

This Place Will Become Your Tomb is the intimidate after math, it's Sleep Not Letting Vessel Die, and Vessel giving in. Becoming the weapon Sleep wants him to be. It's Vessel asking Why Sleep wants him to be this way, and not getting an answer, but being under Sleep's influence is better than dealing with his powers on his own. It's also a very sleep pov heavy album, with it being almost completely altering pov.

Is It Really You? I am still up in the air about this one. I think something happened and sleep either shared something with Vessel, or Vessel saw something he wasn't supposed to.

Take Me Back To Eden. Now, this album. At the time of writing this we have almost half of the album, and none of them have been from Sleep's pov (and going from the title of the single that's release tomorrow [4/20] I doubt it's from Sleep's pov edit- it just dropped on youtube uhoh edit edit: yes its a vessel song.) All of them have been from Vessel's, and everything has an air for; not exactly rebellion, but something more like defiance. So far it's felt like the realization that Vessel Is More Powerful then maybe even Sleep, but at least more powerful then anyone has realized, and why should Vessel be Sleep's weapon when he can Be His Own. A lot of people have assumed that the album is going to end in Vessel's death, and while I won't rule it out, I think the album is going to end in Vessel's ascension into at least demi-godhood. probably full 'godhood'. Mostly I can't say it's going to end in Vessel's death, cause so far Sleep has done everything he can to keep Vessel alive.

Some Closing bits: I think that theres another overall theme, and that is Vessel longing for human companionship. Either because of his powers, or something else, I think that Vessel has been very isolated (and also maybe that could be another reason for falling into Sleep, even though he knows Sleep is not holding up his end of the deal), and I think that that is why the other Vessel's come into play, ii iii and iv are fellow vessel's cause they too have powers, and Vessel recruited them. Also on a light note, I think that one of Sleep's 'offerings' is sex, and sexual relations in his name, hence why they are so fuckin horny on stage.

And that my Sleep Token lore analysis, and thoughts and theorie.

If I think of anything else I'll link back to here or something, but yeah. just. thoughts. you can ignore me of course, but if you made this far thanks for reading!!

Genshin Official Relationships and Status

Something to take note off in character relationships is what their "official and known" relationships are. So, I decided to try to make a chart of one with the playable cast and some extras.

This is a draft though. If you have criticisms and comments, absolutely please do leave them because I don't think my interpretations of these government systems are that accurate.

Anyways, here they are! The higher the placement, the higher the authority. Distance does not apply, and the legend is in each of the pictures.

Mondstadt: That's a lotta knights

They can be split between the Church and Knights, but the Church is still under the Grand Master as far as I know.

Power is surprisingly concentrated to 1/2 individuals only for a nation of freedom...Mond you gotta work on that...

Jean, Diluc, Kaeya, and Lisa are arranged the way they are in reference to the Klee summer event where they passed on who was looking after Mond.

Diluc still retains his high position because he has so many high credentials and connections (The Darknight Hero, Mond's richest man, high status in an intelligence network), despite being the Ex-Cavalry Captain.

Rosaria is an official recognized nun, but her vigilante works are by her own accord, hence the colors.

I am not sure whatsoever where Jean and Barbara's father, the Cardinal, should really be placed, or if he even still holds the position.

Poor Noelle does so much more Mond, but is lowest in status...please just make her a knight already T__T

Liyue: Zhongli and his powerful lesbians

I really am not sure if Ningguang is who Liyue's closest "leader", but that is how I felt during most of Liyues events

I'm assuming that the adepti now have a lesser status in Liyue because of the shift in power to the humans during the archon quest

How high Beidou's status is is, completely informal. She's right beside Ningguang because they do find each other to be equal competitors in their own way.

Those directly connected to Zhongli are those I assumed to have taken direct orders from him, hence why Beidou and Keqing are not included although they do respect him as their archon (Keqing in her own way)

I feel like I'm missing people here, compared to Mond, so uh, help me out here-

Inazuma: They just had a civil war...woops

I am reallyyy unsure how to label Sangonomiya island's status. Are they under the shogun? Are they their own separate territory?

Otherwise, Inazuma is pretty straightforward with its 3 factions and families

Sumeru: The whole government was just overthrown

Are there like, genuinely so sages right now, or replacement Grand Sage??? Nahida you need to do something asap-

Scara doesn't exactly have equal status to Alhaitham as Acting Grand Sage, but I felt it was more important to show that Scara is working directly under Nahida

Speaking of which, the title "shadow" is used because it's the same role that Ei served to Makoto, which I find poetic. If there is an official or better title tho, I'd love to hear it.

Hopefully, as time passes, there will be more representatives from the desert with high status. Poor Candace is carrying the desert's status on her back-

Should I have included the Corps of Thirty even if there are no playable characters...?

Fontaine: Fancy Schmancy Titles

I honestly reallyyyy wished that Neuv and Wrio were on equal standing, but in the eyes of Fontaine, that probably just isn't true.

Even so, absolute do not underestimate how important Wrio's role is in Fontaine's justice system, because without the Fortress functioning as it is, so much of Fontaine's justice would fall apart.

Despite Furina's death penalty and retirement, I still believe she deserves the title of archon with the highest status. No matter what happens, she is still Fontaine's idol and savior. (Besides, if she wanted/needed anything, Neuv would give it to her.)

How high Navia, Clorinde, and Chevy's statuses are in relation to each other in reality is...not explicit?

Really, Clorinde is just another employee under Fontaine's justice system, and isn't a head in anyway, while Chevy and Navia are actual leaders. But, Clorinde is the best Champion Duelist, so does that make them cancel out...?

Anyways that's all from me! It's pretty interesting to me just how much of the cast are part of their respective nation's government, which only makes sense given the kind of ruckus the traveler causes. Have a good day!

[quins-makeshift-menagerie]

Mmmm scribbles…just to draw something

[borreall]

I finally did it! I did it and made an illustration based on all of Taylor's Swift Eras Tour as Knights!!

Little backstory: Back in June,while I was still working on my Barchelor's Degree and in a frustration episode, I decided to make a fanart of Taylor Swift's eras yet again!(last year I have done that aswell,but it was done in the eras poster rather fashion ).

But I wanted to elevate the fanart and do something different this year,so I decided to make Alef Vernom's Eras Knights! (for those that don't know him,he is an artist that draws Taylor Swift fanarts and sometimes with other celebrities too,more popular and active on instagram and twitter,or used to until it got banned in Brazil,the country he is native from) Plus I wanted to do a fanart of his knights for a while now because I just loved his designs for knights and I discovered him exactly in the period he was creating them so I assisted like in real time as he was creating the design and putting stories on instagram along the way.

And so,I decided and dared myself to make a full illustration of the 11 knights of the Eras. At first I tought it'll take me max of 1 week maybe- and then I'll finish it. Of course,that did not happen because your calculations do not fit with those from the market( a little Romanian proverb that basically means that what you planned at first is not going to actually work up until the end xd) and as I was creating them... I finished college,sustained and passed my Barchelor's degree, entered at masters and a whole summer passed.

Not going to lie it was a hard ride,but it was a fun one. What started as a project that was a little idea of a fanart became a summer of frustration, blood,sweat and tears; alongside a rollercoaster of emotions. But here it is and I hope you like it as much as I also loved making it :) <3

Stand by my grave and try to weep

I short piece about grief and guilt from the perspective of Scott during 3rd life at the end of episode 7

Scott stood by a grave and wished the events of the last few days hadn’t transpired the way they did. 

A battle in the desert. An expert shot from Skizz. A dead husband. The aftermath. Skizz striking once again. A dead friend–

It was a small grave, in retrospect. 

It was fitting –Grian had remarked when he saw the size of the grave– since “Timmy had left a small impact on the world.”

Scott knew he should’ve disagreed, but he couldn’t think of an example to disprove it at the time, so he had laughed along in agreement. 

He stared at the grave some more. It looked like a picture perfect grave; The stone was perfectly symmetrical, the dirt in front was not too flat–not too messy, the stone was clean as can be. Everything was how a grave was supposed to look; if you asked someone to think of a grave, this grave would be what they’d imagine. 

Scott sighed, he supposed he was a widow now. He had followed the correct steps in order for the widows alliance to be formed. 

But then his fellow widow-to-be had to go and die before her husband, leaving Bdubs to be the widow instead of her. 

So now Scott was completely alone. 

Just him and his husband’s perfect grave. 

This was the part where he should reminisce about the good times he and Jimmy shared. 

Like their first meeting! Or foiling Tango’s cow operation! Or- or…

Scott felt a wave of terror wash over him. Were those two really all the good moments he could come up with off the top of his head? 

He forced himself to take a deep breath. 

No, no. He’s grieving, he’ll remember the rest of the good moments later. 

Cleo would’ve told him it was okay; probably something about how both their husbands’s incompetence clouded the good memories of them. 

Scott involuntarily started to smile. 

Cleo would have built Bdubs a big grave and then joke about how she and Scott switched the graves around. They would’ve known how to cheer Scott up…

Scott’s thoughts trailed off; his smile slipping from his face. 

What kind of widow was he?

He shifted his feet uncomfortably. He felt more sadness over Cleo dying than his own husband.

If anyone were to drop by now, they’d see him not act like a proper widow and judge him for it. 

Why wasn’t he crying? His husband died in front of him. A normal widow would be crying. Why couldn’t he make himself cry?

Why couldn’t he cry? Why weren’t the tears falling? 

Scott wiped away tears that didn’t exist; that should exist, but he failed to actually deliver. 

Maybe he just needed a reminder of all the good times. He should find the poppy Jimmy gave him. 

He turned around before pausing. Where did he leave that poppy?

His gaze turned to the sky, as if the sun or the clouds would answer his silent question. 

But alas, the sky stayed silent. It was probably judging him as well.  

Defeated, he let his gaze wander down. 

Ah, the tears were coming. Finally.

He caught a glimpse of the hill where he and Cleo made the widows alliance.

He felt his nose start to prickle and his eyes sting. 

He quickly speedwalked –not ran, that would look desperate– to the centre of the Flower Valley and plucked the neared red flower he saw. 

He didn’t have the time to get the correct flower; the tears would dry up if he wasn't quick enough. 

He walked back, deliberately slowing himself down, to his dead husband’s grave. He carefully laid the red –tulip, apparently– on the dirt. 

His eyes might have started to water, but no full tears were rolling yet. 

Scott pressed his eyes shut, but there just wasn’t enough liquid to squeeze out of his eyes that way. 

Scott kept his eyes closed though, and thought about happy smile, shared laughter, inside jokes, hair that reminded him of the sunset, skin the colour of grass on a cold day–

He opened his eyes and bit back a sob. Tears finally escaped his eyes and started to roll over his face. 

Now he looked like a proper widow. 

Now he was a proper widow.

Scott stood by a grave and wished the events of the last few days hadn’t transpired the way they did.

Scott closed his eyes again before turning around. 

He couldn’t stand to look at the grave anymore. 

He hopes he’ll start missing him tomorrow. 

[kate-m-art]

Eye to eye with the reflection; the image in front of him spun and contorted its head upside down like an owl with rolled, white eyes. Lacing its fingers in Link’s past the glass’s barrier, it snapped his wrists backward; dug its nails between the joints. It unhinged its jaw- its skin and flesh tore like fabric to expose an elongated row of teeth.

It leapt from the mirror.

Family Branches, Chapter 8: A Part of Me is Me

Forgot to post these on Saturday when the chapter came out, but did this sketch a long time ago but now you guys can see where it came from uwu

Akdkfkf still find Autumn's Shadow so unsettling and akdkfk bad at drawing anything adjacent to horror but we gave it a try anyways. This thing becomes one of his biggest fears pretty quickly ajdjfk needless to say he's not really a fan of mirrors now

(Also! Little section w Dad and Gayle that I've read way too many times TvT the guy cares about his kids so freaking much and ajdjfk pretty terrifying when he's angry)

Few more sketches just 'cause, I think I've posted them before.
