PHOENIX & BAHAMUT // FIRE & LIGHT
Phoenixflare Week || Day 5: Fairy Tale / Mythology / Folklore
The Phoenix & Bahamut + Chinese Mythology & Symbolism
The Chinese lóng 龍 and fèng huáng 鳳凰, often translated as “dragon” and “phoenix” respectively, are very powerful symbols both in myth and symbolism, as well as cultural impact. They are often seen as counterparts of one another, representing opposite sides of the same thing in many ways—[though] this is not to say that they are in opposition with one another, as the connection between the two is often used as an allusion for a harmonious and fortunate relationship.

Phoenixflare Week || Day 4: Touch-Starved (pt ii)
(long distance) Phoenixflare + So We Must Meet Apart
"In this light, two violinists faced each other—a man and a woman. The woman had her back to me. Their bows were like warped mirror images, one stretching out and up as the other pushed down and in, the two lines moving in relation. And in this manner, they made not the same music but an overlapping.
I began to wonder in that moment (and I still wonder now) why my lips twitch at each discordant twoness. Is it joy? A grimace? Recognition?"
