Color Theory in ATLA: Part 2

Let’s talk colors! ATLA is a colorful show! I’ve already covered color coding at a surface level here if you want to read. But how else does ATLA use color narratively? This post will cover the importance of color in the narrative, which gave us such iconic, visually striking scenes as the last agni kai.

By the way, this is actually a propaganda post for @multicolor-fandom-tournament, where you should totally go vote for ATLA in the final. As much as I love Pokemon, I wanna see someone else win a poll for once. Give ATLA some love. But mostly, it's just an analysis post about Zuko. Anyway, let’s get started.

The biggest use of color in the narrative is long and drawn out, but concludes in the most visually striking scene in the series, the last agni kai between Zuko and Azula. This showdown is foreshadowed at various points throughout the show. Despite red typically being the color of fire and characters associated with it, Azula is strongly associated with the color blue. She is the only character who bends blue fire, and one of the few who can bend lightning, which is also depicted as blue. It’s described as “the cold-blooded fire.”

As Zuko’s character progresses throughout the series, he becomes haunted by the colors red and blue. The first major instance comes after he frees Appa, a selfless act that doesn’t benefit him in any way. It apparently shocks even him so much that he becomes ill and falls into a feverish sleep, where he dreams that he is the Fire Lord sitting upon the throne. Two dragons, one red, one blue, hover nearby. The blue dragon speaks with Azula’s voice and tempts him, telling him to sleep, to rest. The red dragon speaks in Iroh’s voice. It warns him not to listen to the blue dragon and tells Zuko that he must get out of there. The scene begins to crumble, and the blue dragon lunges for him. My personal interpretation of this scene is that the blue dragon represents the royal family—Zuko’s “destiny” to return to the Fire Nation and take the throne. The blue dragon tells him to sleep, to accept his destiny, while the red one encourages him to break free of the cycle perpetuated by the royal family.

This is supported by another scene with two dragons later in the narrative. In the episode The Avatar and the Fire Lord, Zuko goes below the royal palace to the archives where the history of the royal family is stored. The episode covers the history of Fire Lord Sozin and Avatar Roku and the background of Sozin’s imperialistic goals. We learn that Sozin and Roku were once friends, but had a falling out over Sozin’s ambitions. Despite this, Sozin returns to help Roku when the volcano on Roku’s home island erupts.

What does Sozin arrive on but a blue dragon.

The two fight the volcano together, and appear to be winning, but as they try to escape, Roku takes a blast of poisonous air to the face, and falls to his knees, begging Sozin to help him.

Sozin refuses, saying that with Roku gone, his plans will finally be possible. He flies away on his blue dragon, leaving Roku for dead. Roku’s dragon, Fang, who is red and often appears in visions to help the current Avatar, Aang, curls protectively around Roku as the hot ash consumes them.

Iroh then reveals to Zuko that, while Sozin was his great grandfather on his father’s side, so was Avatar Roku, on his mother’s side. If Zuko’s previous fever dream was any indication, he already knows he’s capable of breaking free of the cycle, but has been using his “destiny” as an excuse why he can’t. He’s destined for the throne. He’s destined to continue the cycle. But now Iroh tells him, if Sozin was a part of his destiny, then too, was the Avatar. And now, Zuko must confront the idea that he has a choice, that he always has, and that his destiny to rule and continue the cycle of violence is an idea of his own making.

When Zuko later confronts Ozai in Day of Black Sun, his choice is solidified, not just by his words as he confronts his father, but visually, as he redirects a shot of blue lightning meant to kill him.

The red and blue dragons also get one final appearance before the big showdown. Zuko finds that after joining the Avatar, his firebending is weaker, as it was once fueled by rage and anger and his drive was chasing the Avatar, which he has now lost. When Zuko and Aang go to the Sun Warriors to unlock the secrets of firebending, they must be judged by the two masters. Up until the moment of confrontation, neither Zuko nor Aang realize that “the masters” are two dragons, since the last dragons were thought to have been hunted to extinction by none other than the royal family.

When Zuko and Aang confront the dragons, they are judged for their worthiness. These two visual symbols, which have been haunting Zuko for the past season and a half, accept his change of heart and encircle Zuko and Aang in multicolored flames, colors Zuko has never seen and couldn’t even imagine. Zuko then says:

“I understand.”

This could be interpreted in a variety of ways, but mine is that Zuko still had doubts about whether or not he was doing the right thing until this moment (or else, wouldn’t his firebending still be working?). He wasn’t totally committed yet. When he sees so many colors dancing among the flames, the big “secret” he understands is harmony. His destiny is to bring harmony and balance back to the world, the red and blue dragons, the Avatar and the Fire Lord, working in tandem to accomplish it. He accepts this as his new drive and motivation, allowing him to firebend again.

By the time Zuko and Azula finally meet for their final showdown, the red/blue struggle within Zuko is long established and all but resolved. The only thing that remains is the externalization of the struggle: him, represented by red, vs. Azula, represented by blue. Zuko has accepted his change in destiny and aligned himself with the Avatar. Azula has not, and remains a representation of the royal family, of the status quo.

And then, we get the most visually striking fight in the whole series.

I really don’t know what else to tell you. This scene is so iconic because it’s been built up to with this color symbolism over the past two seasons. It’s satisfying to watch. It’s beautifully animated.

It ends with Azula getting one last shot of blue lightning, which up until now was believed to be an instant kill shot. The monarchy’s last ditch shot to bring Zuko down with it. But Zuko throws himself in front of Katara, taking it head on. It should have killed him, but Katara saves him. Azula is defeated, Zuko survives, and he lives to bring balance back to a world divided by war.

And when Zuko finally gets his own dragon, what color is it?

Red.

And there you have it, folks! There are some other scenes that could be color analyzed, but this is getting pretty long, so I’m going to end it here. Thanks for reading!

I'm Indian and I used to be a radfem, like actively in wombyn's meets and donating to women only shelters for a few years. What changed my mind was that I found, for a radical position, many radfems were racist by omitting any conversation about it. I don't think all radfems are racist but there is an issue of them wanting to focus on "womanhood" as the bigger picture and completely ignoring the racism other women face because they think it's a separate issue. I understand misogyny affects every woman but it's wrong for so many of them to silence conversations about racism as if woc don't face both often at the same time in its own way. And overall it still holds true that woc face more ill effects from society, a lot of white radfems just don't want to accept that they could have any perceived power over anyone. It doesn't mean they're the same as men but they do not notice how the racist misogynist systems against woc are still perpetuated because they refuse to speak out on it or acknowledge the benefits they get from it.

I agree with absolutely everything you've said. Many radfems are deeply racist, hold racist views or are racist, as you said, by refusing to talk about racism because they want to focus on women - which doesn't make sense because not only women of color exist and face racism, but you can acknowledge that all men are oppressors in a patriarchy while also understanding that men of color are oppressed because of racism and fighting against that. Women of color's freedom will exist when they are free from both sexism and racism, and for that we need to fighting sexism but also racism as a whole.

I think this comes from several reasons ;

- many white radfems just don't care about women of color and racism, and many of them literally hate them. it's a terrible thing to say but i have noticed so many racist bullshit. many of this can also be pure ignorance, as i have noticed that many people do not even try to understand racism issues and to learn about poc's experiences.

- radical feminists are often uncomfortable with the idea that they have a privilege and are part of an oppressor class. i have noticed this with opposite sex attracted radfems and white radfems. i remember when i think it was menalez (not sure) made a post about how she hated white women and many white radfems got angry, while they are the firsts to say that women have the right to hate men because men are our oppressors - and well, white people, including white women, also are the oppressors, aren't we ? so it should work that way too. it is not a radical feminism issue, just a white issue in general - the problem isn’t radical feminism but white people not being able to handle the fact that they're (we're) privileged.

- radical feminists are tired of libfems, TRAs and other people in general asking feminists to include everyone in their feminism because it's about EqUalItY and tHe PaTrIaRcHy HuRtS mEn ToO and what not, which i totally understand because i am tired of this shit too, but they react the wrong way. they understand that feminism is for females only but forget that different groups of women face different struggles, ex women of color face racism, and that we have to focus on these struggles and to fight different kind of oppressions if we want all females to be free - which means that feminism has to fight against different forms of misogyny (misogynoir, lesbophobia, etc) and to overlaps with other forms of activism, like anti racism activism, that will include men. it doesn't mean that our feminism include men. nuance.

I am a white woman so I might not be the best person to talk about this but I feel like you can acknowledge all of this while still being a radfem - tho I respect and understand women of color who leave radical feminism because of racism, of course. At the end of the day, the problem is (some) white radfems and their racism, not radical feminism in itself. You can still believe in the theory and doing activism while calling out racism in the community, or even focusing on women of color. You can still donate, talk about feminism, etc. Radical feminism actually needs more women talking about this to improve. I'm really not trying to lecture you, I hope that's not how it sounds! Just giving my opinion because I think it's an interesting topic.

Anyway, I just agree with everything you said and I understand why you did what you did.

What called "Bucking-Horse/Bronco" Dino in Japanese

The other day I learned that the nuance of Dino's nickname is completely different between Japanese and English. (Thanks to everyone who gave me opinion!)

He is called "Bucking-Horse"or"Bronco" in English. But in Japanese, he called "跳ね馬/はねうま(Haneuma)". Let's look the nuances and meaning of this.

This is a long, detailed, and difficult explanation. If you don't need to understand them, scroll all the way down to the colored letters at once!

First, it was coined by Mx.Amano. And it uses very Japanese usage that is not commonplace. Moreover, these are unique to the Japanese language, at least not in English. Therefore, it would be very difficult to translate it while preserving its nuances. Put it straight into the translator, it will be "vaulting horse" or "leaping horse".

It is made from two words. When broken down, it becomes "跳ね/馬". Let the "馬" play somewhere else, because it means exactly the same as the English "horse🐴". In other words, the problem is "跳ね". It corresponds to "Buking". This encompasses a variety of matters that need to be explained.

This is the really difficult part.

I'm not a qualified Japanese teacher. And these explanations don't correspond to all Japanese words. Therefore, please consider this explanation only to understand the Japanese nuance of his nickname. Even if you can't understand this too difficult Japanese, I will summarize the nuances of the Japanese at the end. And if you have any questions, please feel free to ask! Cause Idk either! :)))

Let's start with a simple point first. The same pronunciation has a different meaning if the Kanji is different. Therefore it's important to decipher the meaning of Kanji.

The kanji is "跳." For now, I will focus only on Kanji. The original meaning of this kanji is "to jump up high with one's feet". And it still has a similar meaning today. "跳" mean Jumping or Bouncing. And the "ね" is added to this make it the original form of the verb.

This will be most difficult! Japanese has no equivalent to the English be(auxiliary) verb. In Japanese, the verb itself can be transformed into a form with a negative or presumptive or some meaning. Conversely, the verb original form alone is not often used. At least, "跳ね" haven't meaning as action. If you want to use this as a verb, you need to add something letters. In other words, "跳ね" is a verb. It does not express personality or character. However, it does not represent action. Horrible.

Are you tired? Let's take a moment to break, watch the horse we let go to play. Cute. 🐴

I just want to explain in details, so don't worry if you don't understand. Incidentally, native speakers also doesn't understand these in detail either. We use them somehow. I also researched it for this explanation :D Well so, what exactly it have mean?

Briefly, the word "跳ね馬" itself doesn't mean anything. And I call it "nickname" for convenience, but strictly speaking, it is slightly different from a "nickname" in Japanese. Take breathe. Let me explain both of these!

First, if it isn't a nickname, what on earth is it? This is common in Japanese works and there is no corresponding English. AGAIN. Let's rely on the dictionary,

"A commonly used name that is not a real name".

"This is named to a person of achievement or accomplishments as a sign of awe and respect."

Well done!

Let me give you one example. There was a man who was active in Japan when the country was still decide the ruler with force. He was called the "one-eyed dragon" by his enemies and the people. Because he had an eye patch over one eye due to an illness. And he is called the "Dragon" in recognition of his strength. (There are various theories.) They aren't like a friendly nickname. And he has a real name, so if we are friend with him, we don't say "Hi one-eyed doragon! Let's go outside!" do we?

It's exactly the same as "跳ね馬". This is not just a nickname, but one that he has come to be called by because of his ability. And it took hold and became one of the designations used to refer him. Then, let's say goodbye to the dragon here. Thank you very much.

It is precisely what I have described so far that surprised me about the difference in nuance from English. In other words, this nickname which has no meaning of his personality at all in Japanese, but has a rough and wild feel in English.

Well, even if the words themselves don't have meanings, we can still get the little nuances. At least there is no impression of wildness or roughness. Rather, it seems light and nimble. However, this is about as much as can be read from words alone.

So, let's take a hint from the novel about the events that led to Dino's being called a "跳ね馬". This isn't written by Mx.Amano, but still official. It is the story of he gets Enzio and whip and out of his previous shell. And he was child but then, he was called "跳ね馬" for the first time.

He used his whip and tmturn the tables single-handedly against a large group of adults. Incidentally, his tattoos are set to have arisen at this time. Anyway, at this time,one of enemies described him as a "跳ね馬". Let's see how he was represented then.

Agile movements like a wild animal and a whip that can kill with a single blow.

Witnessing Dino's supple and lively movement, mutters "*He is like*跳ね馬……" unconsciously.

(Some parts are abbreviated and brief additions are made.)

At this time he was still a child. With agile movements, they run across the narrow battlefield, dodging gunfire from all directions. With his sharp whip and brilliant movements, he overpowers adults much larger than himself. The figure must have looked like a horse leaping in the wilderness. Cavallone's symbol is the horse, but it isn't mentioned in the novel. Whatever, he must have become the Boss in many ways at this time. Also, horse's tail is like a whip 🐎

We are finally here!

Well, it was hard work for us! Thank you for reading this far :)))

In other words, there is nothing rough or wild impression about his nickname in Japanese. He isn't like rebellious, uncontrollable, rampaging horse. And this nicknames means admire and not shows his personality or character. It's a description of his fighting figure, which is nimble and vibrant. In Japanese, it can't judge about him from his nickname. What we can glean from this is that he is a competent and respected to.

Btw, it call him "Unless-Dino" before he becomes the boss or when he is unable to demonstrate his ability to do so. (I don't know if this English translation is correct, I couldn't find it :( )

Well, actually, there are quite a few difference nuances here as well. In Japanese, called by a very cute and affectionate word. This have certainly a bad mean. But it's one of the most mildest and cutest of swear words. It is the kind of language would use to describe the bad parts of a beloved being. I really love Mx.Amano's word choices.

welcome to melatonin-melanin!

�� greetings! this is a blog i made on a whim to talk about a variety of things regarding the alternative fashion world (particularly japanese fashion), how people of color are seen in it, and how this view affects them. i'll most likely discuss many topics through the lens of intersectionality, a theory explaining that the multiple facets of one's identity inherently determines their life experiences. these facets include (but are not limited to) race, gender, class, and disability. most of my posts will focus on the particular intersection of racial identity, skin color, and mental illness, and how they come together in alt spaces to influence the experience of alternative people of color. there may be more correlation than you think! my goal is to create a space for people to vocalize their own struggles related to race and mental health, as well as for people to feel more comfortable discussing these issues openly and to learn from others' perspectives. i feel that there is a particular lack of openness in the j-fashion and menhera communities when it comes to discussing race-specific issues, intentional or not. i believe we can change that with some time, patience, and will to improve!

admin info, dni, and tagging system below the cut. ☆

★ admin info: you can call me mela or tonin! i identify as a part of the menhera subculture. i use she/they/it, and i adore j-fashion and its history. my favorite aesthetics and styles include yumekawaii, yamikawaii, and girly! i'm also very invested in ethnic studies and race theory, which present themselves in a lot of aspects of my life. these are what i'll be using as the basis for many of my posts!

★ please do not interact under any circumstances if you:

are racist, homophobic, transphobic, or ableist in any way

are a TERF or SWERF

are a nsfw/kink blog

are pro-ed, pro-sh, or generally anti-recovery

believe jirai kei/landmine-type refers to girly fashion, and/or that you can "reclaim" the term

★ tagging system: along with some general tags, i'll be using personalized tags for this blog to hopefully make searching for specific kinds of posts easier! the list is as follows:

#rise and shine - the main category for my general posts discussing fashion, culture, race and/or mental health

#sunny day - any cute coords, accessories, hairstyles, and diy tips and tricks i come across

#cloudy noon - any interesting articles i've found that are related to the contents of the blog

#starry night - posts directly speaking out against, and bringing awareness to racism, ableism, and current events in the world

#sweet dreams - reassurances, affirmations, and comfort for those who need it

#tonin talks - answers for any asks i may receive. im open to asks about many things ranging from silly to serious, so go right ahead!

#misc - anything that happens to not fall into any of these categories

thanks for stopping by, and i hope you learn something new while you're here!!

15 Questions: Character interview edition

Thank you for the tag, @words-after-midnight. I do enjoy writing in-character responses to questions.

Passing the tag to @cljordan-imperium, @theprissythumbelina, @blind-the-winds, @oh-no-another-idea, @dogmomwrites, and an open tag for anyone else who wishes to join in the fun.

Since this week's upcoming Empty Names chapter is from Ashan Glassheart's POV, I'll queue him up for this. I'm tempted to go do the rest of the Empty Names cast at some point in the future as well, like I did last time.

1. Are you named after anyone?

My grandfather, although I have not used that name in more than half my life. I still think of it a name of mine, but it is also a memento of a time I cannot go back to. Meanwhile, "Glassheart" is an homage to my teacher's epithet of "Glassgaze." As is traditional.

2. When was the last time you cried?

When I visited the tombstone my parents put up for me.

3. Do you have any kids?

No, and I would prefer to avoid the possibility. I may consider adoption one day though, particularly if I ever decide to take an apprentice.

4. Do you use sarcasm?

Only sparingly.

5. What's the first thing you notice about people?

Their overall demeanor. Tone, body language, and etcetera. Useful elements for planning impending interaction.

6. What's your eye color?

Light brown. Someone once called them "amber," but that was an ill-conceived attempt at winning me over with poetry on his part coupled with odd lighting.

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

There is more than enough fear out and about in the world. And besides, I have not seen a movie since I was a child. Perhaps I should amend that.

8. Any special talents?

Other than being a wizard? I suppose I am a passable dancer. My teacher insisted it was good exercise for staying light on one's feet.

9. Where were you born?

Earth, the local anchor world iteration of it specifically, despite having left young. My early childhood memories are of a rural small town. Pray forgive me not being more specific, but my family still lives there and even if they think I died years ago I would prefer to respect their privacy.

10. What are your hobbies?

Finding relatively secluded natural areas to meditate in is the first thing that comes to mind for such a question, particularly since spending hours in a library pouring over tomes on arcane theory and practice is largely considered part of my profession rather than a hobby, no matter how much I enjoy it.

11. Have you any pets?

No, nor is my preferred practice of magic one that typically incorporates familiars.

12. What sports do you play/have played?

The closest I have ever come to playing sports is the time my teacher signed the two of us up as contestants in a gladiatorial tournament of sorts. She said it would be a good learning experience and practical test of my skills. She was correct, as usual, even if I was eliminated halfway through. Meanwhile she made it to the final bout and I have long suspected that she only lost that because she was holding back for the sake of not upsetting my image of her.

13. How tall are you?

Five feet, six inches. Roughly the same as my teacher. Given how much of a role model she was for me, I suspect the Autogenesis Principle may be as responsible for this a genetics. "What is the Autogenesis Principle?" It is the tendency for the bodies of those exposed to the supernatural - particularly those from anchor worlds who had previously been unaware of its existence - to physically warp and change over time to align with their self-image. That is the simplified version at the least. In practice there can be any number of factors complicating this creation of the self, so that one person might be barely affected while another can undergo exaggerations that border on the monstrous.

14. Favorite subject in school?

I was still in elementary school when I... left home with the woman who would become my teacher, but the memories of reading classes are the ones that I recall most vividly. To her credit though, she did make a point of tutoring me in other subjects I was missing out on more formal education for alongside my magical training.

15. Dream job?

Being a wizard and helping those in need. As I am already doing.

Predictibly, Rogier: 3,6

3) Design/Aesthetic Thoughts

First, a photo for reference, taken from his fextralife page.

I have a lot of thoughts on his design, but precious few of them are anything substantial. Regardless, I am including them all. Lol.

[1] Love the Landsknecht vibe. (Wikipedia link)

[2] I hate drawing that hat though, I really do. It's the bane of my wretched existence. I hope that swingy glintstone piece whacks him in the face ♡

[3] The jester boots. Lol. What is he thinking.

[4] So many layers. How does he not overheat and die immediately.

[5] What the hell is that stupid little cape necklace. I love him

(gif from this post!)

[6] The fact that that blue and yellow are his main colors has some fitting connotations under Hankshaw's Video on Color Theory in Elden Ring. Here's my thoughts, copypasted from an older post:

He's a mix, an entity in the Lands between unlike any other. Calm, logical, rebellious. Creative. Lonely. An agent of change, as much a scholar of the Order's history as he is a heretic. As a sorcerer who to seeks to repair the Order by altering it, Rogier is a striking clash of ideologies.

[7] His concept art (?) on fextralife is interesting. He seems to be older, and he's possibly using the staff as a cane.

I wonder how his story and injury changed and adapted throughout development. Was he originally meant to play a bigger (or smaller) part in the game's world? He seems to be at the heart of something big, but he also seems so inconsequential in the grand scope of things. Was a more involved story cut, or was it always intended to be this way?

Also, why’d they get rid of the laugh lines? :( I guess ill just have to bring them back in my art.

[8] I love how his outfit incorporates glintstone:

It's even in his boots, and the sleeves of his doublet... overshirt... thing.

I love how the blue/yellow/white of his design contrasts the red/yellow/black of Alberich's. Note how Alberich's is decorated with red glintstones, made from blood sacrifices:

Also of note, their respective hats describe them as “heretical.”

(I went deeper into looking at Alberich as Rogier's foil, but honestly, that post went... a lot off the rails.)

6) Psychological Headcanons

(tastes, fears, talents, regrets, how they deal with anger, just anything that comes to mind on the topic)

[1] He wields customer service voice and scripts like no other. He’ll spill soup on you and give such a good apology that it'll make you want to make it up to him.

(Whether or not this is intentional... It probably depends on the situation.)

[2] Talents: according to this, his dex is actually higher than his int.

Given that, it seems he’s more practiced with sword than spell. Or at least, he picked up sword-fighting before sorcery. Which brings me to this YouTube short by a fencer, where he says that fencing and dancing are "intricately linked," and "one really informs the other."

So here's my silly little headcanon: Back in the day, in his life before, Rogier killed it on the ballroom floor. (Or whatever they had back then.)

...I wonder how many situations he talked himself out of (and into) while dancing with a partner. It seems like the perfect time to turn his "easy air" up to 11, as D calls it.

Idk, I think his life among nobility shaped the way he wields his manners. I'd love to think he learned how to turn his skills from that life into a weapon, one just as effective as his sword. That before his time in The Lands Between, it was really the only weapon he could use against the agendas of others.

[3] His fear: his untimely demise. I think the onset of this only really began after his injury. That's when he began to really understand the risks associated with his research.

Look at it this way: there’s knowing something is dangerous and acting accordingly, and then there’s understanding what the consequences are. (Ex: wearing PPE because you know you should, vs actually seeing what exposure to a chemical does to you.)

Before Stormveil, desperation and denial probably helped keep that understanding at bay. He’s chasing this thing, and he knows it’s dangerous—he’s done all the reading and research he possibly can. But I wonder how much he actually let himself stop and think about the danger before he jumped into his search for the next artifact.

But now that he does truly grasp what’s in store for him, there’s no way to change course. I think that his fate (and it's inevitability) scares him to no end. I think it kills him that he won't be able to finish what he started. That he doesn't have time anymore—in the land where no one's supposed to die, no less.

The only thing he can do is work on his research a little more before he succumbs to the deathless dream. That’s where you, as the player, come in.

(Side note: as for how long he’s in denial about the fatality of his condition—I can’t say. He could realize it's over as soon as he wakes up in the Hold, or he could be clinging onto some far-fetched hope all the way until he warns the player he’s falling asleep. Readers preference, I suppose.)

[4] Regrets: the better question is what doesn’t he regret, lol.

Jokes aside, I think most of his regrets center around how things came to pass, rather than what came to pass. I don't think he regrets that he and D parted ways, but I think he regrets how it came to happen. That kind of thing.

[5] One last random headcanon: He's not a morning person. That first hour or so after waking—oof. That’s when his demeanor isn’t at full power yet. I have a small little bit for this in Still Waters planned, far off in the future. Because I want to hear him honestly complain for once, without all that dignity. I think it'd be fun to watch.

Thanks for the ask!!

"There was never such a thing as magic."

In episode 4, we get what seems an awful lot like an after-the-fact rationalization of Kano's condition. A clear-headed, scientific explanation. But the show itself seems almost as desperate as Hijiri is to explain away her younger sister's "illness."

Surely, there must be some rational explanation, it pleads, as the theory turns to DID and a feather in a shrine as a psychological trigger. It can't truly be cursed, of course. No rational person, no doctor, could believe that.

"It was only a dream, it has nothing to do with you."

Until this episode's halfway point, this desperation feels like it might still point toward some kind of grounded explanation for all this, but that notion shatters into light when Yukito touches the shrine feather. In an instant, AiR becomes a different story entirely; a history of persecution, of a mother and her child cursed from birth, fleeing wars, storms, and death to find refuge in the village that once stood on the same spot that Yukito and the others stand on now. Even here, there was no real refuge, and the scene morphs into some distant echo of the binding of Isaac; a mother sacrificing herself to save her child. No story, it is worth remembering, is ever just one story.

"You don't have wings, be happy down there."

In episode 5, we turn to dreams of the ocean. Yukito's own, from when he was a child. Here, the show again takes a somewhat more grounded approach, but "grounded" is relative, and perhaps inappropriate, given that even the series' episodes that are more "grounded", "down-to-earth", an other such terms that conflate mundanity with the soil beneath our feet, are themselves preoccupied with the heavens above, as we learn when we're introduced to Tohno's "Astronomy Club" here, consisting of more or less just herself and a large portable telescope. Despite briefly meeting her mother, Yukito returns the next day to find the woman claiming she has no daughter, and Tohno herself is missing.

Elsewhere, we learn that Kamio suffers panic attacks when she gets close to people. This is a distinct yank back to reality from a show that has so far spent most of its time with its head in the clouds, but the loneliness Kamio's condition creates---typified by a quick cut to a shot of a lonesome cloud---works with what Air has previously done. A profound loneliness connects most of the show's characters, although they largely don't yet seem aware of this connection.

If there's an emerging theme here, it's that of lost or broken connections. Tohno is kicked out of her home because her mother has replaced one delusion with another and doesn't recognize her, Kamio feels unwelcome in her own house because her "mother" is actually her aunt whose care she was put in as a troubled, younger child, etc.

The cruel reality of the sky is that it can't truly be reached from the ground, and the show's color palette shifts drastically in the episode's final moments to reflect this line of thought, running red and black like a gaping wound. A strange, stark turn from a strange, stark show.

Week 6: San Myshuno

(Read Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 here.)

Dracula began the week in San Myshuno with a one-on-one date at the arts center with Genevieve. They worked on a mural together, had a suggestive conversation about their relationship ideals and compatibility, and kissed.

"I'm not sure why he chose me for the 'cute art date'," Genevieve laughs. "I can diagnose an illness but don't know the first thing about color theory. But I learned some new things today! It was pretty inspiring." "I picked her for this date because I like her and I like art," Dracula chuckles. "She doesn't have to be good at it. It's much more important that she had fun out of her element."

They spent the afternoon viewing art, having deep conversations, flirting, kissing and making out.

They made paintings together, and Dracula gave Genevieve a painting of her as a romantic gift. Ironically, she gave him a rose in return, and the exchange brought them closer together.

In the evening, Dracula gave Genevieve a break from the art and took her to a rooftop lounge .

There, a sim celebrity introduced himself and signed an autograph for Genevieve. They hung out, smoking hookah and chatting as a group.

At the end of the date, Dracula gave Genevieve a rose and she gave him a kiss and a wrist.

"What a fun day," Genevieve raves. "I adore Dracula. I think we're compatible and I definitely feel closer to him. And I can't believe I got to meet Thorne Bailey! I'm such a huge fan! That was a real surprise." "It was a great date," Dracula agrees. "I feel all those things for Genevieve, too... and then some."

Back at the penthouse rental, Dracula pulled Lilith to his room for a kiss which he'd craved since the afternoon. They shared some more physical affection and talked about marriage before heading separately for bed.

Then, Dracula got an unexpected visitor. Marisol had come to his door hoping to pick up where they'd left off on their date the week before.

"I finally woohooed with Dracula!" She blurts out. "It was... well, I'll just say you can tell he's experienced. I have no regrets." She grins. "I never imagined these women would make me feel so special," Dracula swoons.

On the Hound.

His name was Elah Revontulet, and even before he met Salem he was a fairly notorious figure among historians and classicists: a brilliant young man who had utterly ruined his reputation in the field by pursuing dangerous crackpot theories about a religious connection between ancient demes—the nomadic fauni communities of the East Animan desert—and grimm. Following the exposure of his faunus status and his subsequent expulsion from Mantle’s Ambergris College several decades before the Great War, he disappeared into the disorderly ranks of conspiracy theorists, grifters, and dedicated mystics who comprise Remnant’s occult communities.

It was there that Elah first developed an interest in silver. In life, he did not have silver eyes—although his eyes were a striking steely color that caused occasional excitement in the occult circles he traversed—but his aura was silver, and his semblance, Giddy Flame, produced sinuous ribbons of greenish, cold-burning flame which seemed to both repulse and fascinate the grimm.

He used it to walk among them, studying them, learning them and being learned by them in turn. His early interest in ancient fauni worship of the grimm returned in force and became entangled with his philosophical thinking on the nature of silver to synthesize a new theory of metaphysical symbiosis between silver and grimm. After the passage of the Interdiction—Mantle’s brutally repressive ban on free expression—Elah left the city behind, built himself a camp, and began to live full time in the Coldfire Waste, the vast snowfields to the northeast of Mantle.

It was around that time that he began to consume atrum, and not long after that, the horde he had been studying—which had begun to see him as its person, rather akin to what a companion animal might be to a person—brought him to Salem’s attention.

She fascinated him; and the pair of them spent most of the fractious decades preceding the Great War and the war itself entrenched in the Coldfire Waste, collaborating on what might be delicately described as outrageously dangerous alchemical research. Just two years after the ratification of the Vytal Accords, Elah—who was by then nearly sixty, and quite ill as a consequence of having spent the better part of the last thirty years imbibing atrum—died. Salem buried him in the heart of his horde’s territory as per his dying request and returned to her home in Alukah.

A little more than a decade later, he turned up on her doorstep again—still evidently in his late fifties and in grievously poor health, but alive and no worse for wear for having been buried under the permafrost for thirteen years. The cumulative effect of their experimentation, together with the touch of the void in Elah’s aura and its interaction with the sheer quantity of atrum that had built up in his body over the years, had left him as mortal in death as he was in life; some disruption or another in the realm of the dead had ‘killed’ him there and sent his soul and self tumbling back into his body.

This made for a somewhat unpleasant existence, but there was really nothing to be done except live (and die) with it. Each time he returned again his eyes shaded closer to silver; beyond this, his peculiar form of immortality left no physical mark upon him. His body continued to age while he lived and—if not frozen—rot while he died; thus his physical condition deteriorated slowly but surely as time wore on.

By the present day, his body was in such poor shape that he would die again within minutes of revival, and Salem had resigned herself to keeping him in cold storage until the end of time. Then Cinder inadvertently gave her reason to question her long-held belief that silver eyes could only harm grimm and to make her first attempt at grafting grimm parts onto a human. The wheels began to turn; she hit upon the idea of providing Elah with a living body he could inhabit for more than a few painful minutes at a time.

Thus, the Hound came to be.

The experiment was not a complete success, but it will also not be the end of it: the Hound’s regenerative and transformative abilities are under Elah’s control, and once he gets the hang of it he will be able to rebuild himself, regrow the hound, and dig himself free of the rubble of Atlas.

#MAIDENS AND KINGDOMS ( hc. )#THIS DARK THING THAT SLEEPS IN ME ( hc: salem. )#[ he is also. like.#thoroughly off his rocker.#obviously.#but you see it’s just that #there are two vacant chairs at salem’s table #and i think her lineup of weirdos #feels incomplete without #the type of lovecraftian mad alchemist who would eat the grimm slime.#you feel me? ]#[ also i feel like i need an npc tag.#EVEN DEATH MAY DIE ( sc: elah. )#my son. ]

When I say that I'm against eletroconvulsive therapy in Arkham is more about theblack of fiscalization, rudimentary uses and the fact that a forensic hospital by definition deals with people considered criminally insane, a group that historic suffered and still does medical torture AND police violence (more police violence than medical torture this days). Society hates criminals and even more mentally ill criminals, specially when a huge chunk of people on forensic hospitals are also addictis. Not to mention that people of color and poor people are still the largest encarcerated comunity. That means that the way procedures are done in mental hospitals, specially the ones made for middle to uper class are normally not the way they are done in forensic hospitals.

Eletroconvulsive therapy- while needing more stuties like most modern treatments do, specially experimental ones - is a procedure that if applyed in the right situations and with the right prepare can save lifes. But there is still, specially in poor countries abd with marginalized comunities, places that misuse it terribly. Either using it as behavioral correction (some times even putting the misproven positive punnishment aproach from Skinner's behavioral theory - punnishment can work but not only has long term negative consequences this type of pavlovian response is waay way less usefull in any form of learning process than positive enforcement [negative enforcement could work but is just heavilly unethical]) or using it for it's correct purpose (to help humor alterations specially on the depressive scale if no other form of treatment is sucesfull) but not correctly (the use of eletroconvulsive therapy without anesthesia only fortunally became illigal on the US in 2017, in Brazil the discussions started in 2019 and everyone in it was wrong in some way. From side this should be banned forever ignoring it's positive results to side this is perfect saying that misuse is an acceptable colateral damage and all procedures are misused and ignoring that people's fears are based in history saying it's the elites making movies becaude they want people to be depressed. Basically while I will admit as a young influenciatable person I started in group one I am all for ECT but I think we need to understand it's social context so we can do it ethically and the thing is both sides think that they are just fighting for nothing while real people get hurt for lack of treatment).

So yeah. I am pro ECT. BUT when I'm writing about ECT in the fictional place that is an example of what not to do I'm certain they are not doing it ethically (the fact that it's shown multiple times that the ECT equipament in Arkham can go to deadly levels of energy easilly is already a signal that they are not doing it right, the rogues literally made an eletric chair out of it by basically saying it was an eletric chair and going deadly voltage (????). That being said I'll clarify it better in future posts as while I doubt my opnion matter is important to not stigmatize proper ECT. That also means that for now on I'm using ECT for the proper use and shock therapy for the improper use.

Also I'll add that on other I'm not defending any type of solitary confinament. I think any way of that being ethically done is by definition not solitary confinament anymore (like the North Dakota system). Not only that but I heard too many people (like 5 but still) compare tecniques used in psychiatric hospitals to solitary confinament to say forensic hospitals are different: they aren't. Foresic hospital is a fancy name for prison for mentally ill people. Is a prison first and a hospital second. I know people who worked in my cities forensic hospital (both as officers and as doctors) and while the medical part is significally better and offers real treatment the police part not as much. The biggest complaint made by the doctors was always the same: it's a prison first. Even non-violent patients are always restrained, police violence while hidden from doctors was easy to deduce and in some cases the officers stayed inside the room during therapy with guns. Even the officer I know while sayng that the doctors are too judmental over necesary security methods also said they considered that the fact it worked as a prison made rehabilitation and treatment way harder and that the officers should be hardly checked for misconduct and the system changed.

#arkham asylum #mental health #eletroconvulsive therapy #i'm rly sorry for previous portraits of it #solitary confinement #i'm not sorry for critizing prison-hospirals nor solitary confinemeny #idk what this post is #it was suposed to be a joke about the characthers having a full on eletric chair on the trial #might delete this later

How are you so goo at art?? All of you drawing are so neat, colorful and just amazing in general! How do you do it?

lots and lots of practice honestly! <- yeah you get told this a lot dont ya LMAO but it geniunely is !!! just draw every single day, even if its just ateeny doodle or a smiley face :) , itll help somewhat!

a huge part of it is studying other's art. the art world is so so shitty to newer artists, "NO TAKING INSPIRATION I WILL MURDER YOU!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡 ILL POST 10 BULLETINS ATTACKING YOU BECAUSE YOU USED THE SAME COLOUR AS ME >:(((" <- looking at a very few specific artists here ...

but in reality learning from other artists is INCREDIBLY helpful!

some of my favourite art has come from an artist named tillie walden, and i studied her art for ages and tried to emulate what she does with colours,, i ended up straying towards a more bright/rainbow path but her artstyle has absolutely influenced mine!

as well as TONS of people on toyhouse/twitter, like sometimes ill see a piece and be like "oh i love how that artist shades hair! ill have to try it out sometime ^__^"

or people on tiktok, posting speedpaints, "thats a really interesting way to sketch, and i like the end result, maybe i should try something like that!"

its just taking teeny tidbits from artwork you like and adding it to your own art! also a lot of watching youtube videos on colour theory

and uhh

lots of trial and error!

EIGHT

Killian drinks to forget.

Things never really seem to go his way, as it only helps him remember.

It hadn't always been this way, of course. Legend says that once lived a child with eyes the color of rainy skies, eternally portraying the vulnerability he shared with his older sibling. There is so little you can are able to do when you're eight, though one shouldn't be able to realize it at such young age. But Mama was sick, and Papa was not a Papa at all. The only love young Killian ever saw from that man was the one he demonstrated when intoxicated to the very bottle that led him to the state. Said passion for refilled glasses and fuller bladders would be genetically passed on to a certain mourning lieutenant. Only on one occasion did it strike him later on; he was turning into his father — No, he wasn't a father, at all — Killian was becoming Gregory Jones, the very same man who had thought him what hate was. Not through theory but though actions. Violent actions he would later understand weren't right at all. An eight year old wouldn't understand, even if Liam had spelled it out for him.

“ A-B-U-S-E, little brother. ”

He was growing into the man who willingly (not even in a drunken stupor, the thankless bastard) dared take the decision of abandoning the women that gave everything to the three men in her life. She who gave until she had nothing else to give, only loving gazes from time to time when illness hadn't tired her out entirely.

If he shut his eyes with the exact amount of determination, he could still see them clearly. The pigments of the flowers were faint, and some of their petals damaged. He wouldn't dare rip them out from the soil, so he'd pick out the own that had fallen on their own. If he gathered enough to make a bouquet and sold it, he just might be able to afford the sticky serum that helped Mama with her cough. Sure, the collars of her clothes were permanently crimson splattered — Blood was a bitch to remove from blouses, he learned on far too many occasions — but for a short hour they could pretend everything was fine, that she wasn't slowly drifting away due to ... What was it again? Liam's voice rung in his ears like the ghost he now was.

“To bear coo low sees! Jesus, Killy, it is not that difficult!” Pre-teens, what total snobs they were.

A sensitive kid he was once, carefully threading the weak stems together, hopefully dreaming a young woman with blonde hair and understanding green hours would approach him to buy his masterpiece. She'd be a princess, Killian figured, she'd offer to pay him more than needed. Through a young boys eyes, Royalty was still the epitome of generosity and kindness.

Except there was no such thing as kind Princesses and if there were, none ever heard of Killian and Killian never heard of them.

He would be over it eventually, replacing that loss with a sense of righteousness. The Navy, now that was the epitome of kindness, protecting to others whom you didn't exactly know, but kindness regardless. It was the right thing to do. Then it all went wrong, Royalty, the Navy it was all a two-headed monster working hand in hand. Liam's loss drove him to do terrible things, but not nearly as terrible as what he did to his Milah. He'd find glimmers of hope, of starting over and time after time they all led him to misery. Though, he wouldn't stop finding purposes. Now too selfish of a man to give up the luxury of living, even at his age. Revenge was a hypnotizing mistress and all he could fill his mind off her while his mouth stuck to alcohol.

No, he wasn't becoming this Gregory Jones persona. He hadn't left. There was nothing— no one for him to abandon. A hidden victory hidden among tragedies.

He would drink to that.

——

Now, there was a queen who had crossed his path. She fancied hearts, something that must've ran in her family, he thought. Unstoppable, Cora seemed, so he'd follow.

It was the next day — for him at least, time worked as it pleased in other realms, he was living proof of it — he found a new purpose in the form of a frowning and stubbornly suspicious Savior.

It was until the moment he was tied to a tree, almost smelling the odor of starving ogres, that recognition hit him. He saw beaten flowers brought back to life and serum that could not only cure a bloody cough but also heartache. Killian Jones surrendered then even if he knew the implications inside out already. This would be different, the little voice inside his head was reassuring.

Turns out eight-year olds did know better, after all.

Commissions?!

So I know that this is way out of the blue, but this is something that I've been wanting to try for a long time. I figured it might be time to take some big steps for the future, and this is what came to mind. This would also help me out financially since I recently moved into a new place.

Anyway, I’ll try to be as thorough as I can without boring you. And of course, if you have any questions please message me.

To start with, I’ll still be writing my own personal stories but it may be in between commissions or after a determined commission period depending on how many commissions I get.

Then there’s the kind of services I provide. How I’ve broken it down is I write fanfics and original stories, this includes: blurbs, drabbles, and one-shots. That applies to original stories as well, however if you are wanting a series that will have to be something that you and I discuss to see if it’s plausible for me.

Also, I not only write stories but I can offer some editing services as well. Take a look at the services down below, it’s explained more in depth there.

Next, how I will take commissions and how they’ll be paid for. When it comes to asking for a story, It's pretty simple; private message me and we can talk about what it is you are looking for. On the pay side, I’ll be doing this through paypal. Now I’ll be honest, I had a bit of a hard time using paypal but I think it’s all set up. I’ll provide a link to it to my paypal and it’ll take you to a page where you can enter the amount of a commission, write what kind of commission you want, and it’ll send it along (again I’m not use to paypal, so let me know if there are any problems).

💮Commission Rates for Writing:

100 - 900+ words: $5

1000 - 1500 words: $10

1501 - 2000 words: $15

2001 - 2500 words: $20

2501 - 3000 words: $25

3001 - 3500 words: $30

And etc.

Here's my paypal

Spy x Family Jujutsu Kaisen Attack on Titan The Yakuza Guide to Babysitting Noragami 91 Days One Punch Man Detroit Become Human Red Dead Redemption II Marvel (mostly Bucky Barnes) COD: Modern Warfare II (I'm jumping on board with this now) Hogwarts Legacy

Original Ideas

EDITING

Test read - $5

Basically what it sounds like, I’ll read your writing and give some feedback on how I felt when reading it, what I liked, what didn’t make sense, and stuff of that nature as well as some spelling and possible grammatical errors.

Light editing - $10

This is where I’d give some basic ideas of what could be improved or anything that feels out of pace with the rest of the piece, etc. +grammatical / spelling

In depth editing - $15

This is where I’d convert your story into a pdf (if I can), and write my notes on the margins then send it back to you after a thorough re-read.

Artist critiques

I have taken art classes at a private college, and I think I could use what I learned here. I’m still a practicing artist, so I’ll offer the best that I can with my current abilities. So for critiques, I will give feedback on your art ranging from composition to color theory. You can submit illustrations, comic books or pages, videos (tutorials, how to’s, etc.), and anything that you feel like could use critiquing. And if you’re not sure, just ask!

Illustration - $5

More than one page (ex. 2/3) - $10

Comic book or pages - $15

Videos (depending on the time) - $20+

Other medium - message me

Nothing making fun of mental illnesses

*note: For nsfw stories; if you are paying for it, I will assume you are of age! You are responsible for your own decisions!

If you are not sure or are confused by the information above, do not hesitate to ask. I will try to explain it more thoroughly. Overall, I want this to be a pleasant experience for you if you are interested in any of the services I’ve provided.

So I don’t forget, if you don’t want to commission me consider reblogging this post. It would be much appreciated!

Lastly, please understand that you do not have to commission me. I’m taking commissions to learn to make a living as an artist / writer. Since I was young, I’ve always wanted to make a living off of the things I loved to do and this is a step towards that. Any amount you are willing to give helps! And I figured if I could help some people out with the skills I’ve accumulated over the years then it’ll be worth it.

I want to thank you for taking the time to read through this all, and any of you who have supported me. I am truly grateful!

Stay safe and take care of yourselves, I’ll see ya around!

hi rosi! well, i was the anon from yesterday or whenever about the fantasy about being with you and read all your tags so like...i guess i'll be an emoji anon! i'll decide by the end of the ask which ill use i guess lmao. how was your day? i kinda wanted to ask like, so i guess you just go in your car and hangout at parking lots or whatever a decent amount, is that just to get some alone time? i forget what your current living situation is. also like what do you do for fun?! i know your a lil weed girly and you do your art (which i love btw, i want to try and buy a piece next time i get some kind of spare money) but is there anything else you like to do? i hope you had a good day whenever you get around to answering this<3 (btw i wanna smooch you i am telepathically kissing you right now) - 🎤

Hi hi hi!! Welcome 🎤 🫶💖

My day was pretty good! How was yours lovely? 🥰

Hmmm why I chill in my car is kinda complicated tbh. But I guess the main reason is so I can smoke and just kinda relax and enjoy myself ya know?

Yes yes yes I am a lil weed girly 🥰😇 and I do love my art (any sort - painting, photography, coloring 💖, scrapbooking, trying to get back into drawing)

I’m also a huge music nerd! I went to a performing arts high school and trained in vocal music. Learned a bunch of music theory and did a buuuunch of voice lessons. My goal was to be an opera singer but life had other plans.

Other than that I’m kinda boring. Just like chilling and watching shows (occasionally movies but I’m a sleepy baby so I usually fall asleep pretty fast).

#ok ok ok let’s get a lil more detailed shall we 😇#I usually reply only in the tags but I KNEW I was going to run our way too fast so I needed to say the basics up there (which felt weird 😂)#I had a pretty good day so far ngl! I was there for moral support for my friend (ended up taking forever but everything turned out good)#now I’m just chilling in my car for the night 🥰#as for why I spend so much time in my car - at the beginning of the year I had to move back with my parents #pls don’t get me wrong I’m super grateful to have a roof over my head and a bed to sleep in… its just not the most comfortable place #the main problem I have is not being able to smoke anymore (I used to be able to smoke inside at my last place so it’s just an adjustment)#I was hoping to be able to smoke out on the deck downstairs but my dad didn’t like that either #so I just chill in my car and smoke in here and watch and color and paint #I mean another reason is I’m a night owl and my dad sleeps in the living room (due to health problems) and I don’t wanna wake him #I guess long story short is I’m more comfy in my car than in my room which is sad but true #not to mention I live in the basement and there’s so many spiders ☹️ if you didn’t know this about me - I’m terrified of spiders!!!!!!!!#thank you so much for the compliment on my art 🥺🥺🥺🥺 I wish I could give you a big hug!!#absolutely no rush trust me I understand not having the cash for extra things (also by the time you’re ready maybe I’ll have more available)#but yeah like I said other than weed (which can be paired with anything tbh 😂) and art - music is my other love #i sing all the time (especially when im alone haha) and one of my fav things to do is watch mouthdropping talented performers #usually they’re broadway based but they can be all types of genres…. I just usually lean towards the ballads #the songs that have lyrics that hit your heart and music that warms your soul - the ones that make me sob uncontrollably 😂#I have a feeling I’m running out of space sooooo enough about me!! how are you?! how was your day?? tell me more about you?!#I noticed you picked the 🎤 …. do you sing??? or did you just randomly pick it?#omg!! I felt your kiss 😳 I’m telepathically sending you kissies right back to you 🥺🥺🥺#thank you for the ask 🥰🥰#I’m shocked I still have room???? like you’re telling me this isn’t 30 tags? ok sounds good #I’m super proud of myself tho #usually I run out of room SO fast and then I get sad cause I either have to redo it or not say everything I wanted to #anyway I hope you have such a wonderful day/night 🥰😘😘#ask #🎤 anon
