VOLO’S OUTFIT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BAD. And here is why I think so...
To begin, we are not talking about the Ginko guild design, we are talking about the “final boss” fit. We all know that Volo’s outfit is dumb, but I’m mad because it was actually thought out and VERY symbolic in the sense that it essentially represented things Volo said/wanted.
I, like everyone else looked at this outfit and went “wow, that is dumb” and then hated on it. Although it is not the most appealing or cool outfit, there was actually a lot of thought that went into it. I could be really over analyzing this, but here is my interpretation.
To begin with, the concept art is a lot more revealing about the intention of the design then the actual game play. On a surface level we see Volo in what I can only assume is a Arceus gijinka cosplay. So the hair, the stars, and color scheme are all elements of Arceu’s design. Cool. Good job especially since Volo had in fact never seen Arceus before.
To fully understand this outfit we have to go back to Hisui and the remains of this so called “ancient civilization”. In the Pokemon world, there is this general idea that the ancient culture was either Roman or Greek inspired. We see evidence in Legends of Arceus by the obvious column heavy architecture and use of Greek Doric columns ( one of the earliest styles of columns used for temples) and in the ruins and temple.
The Temple of Sinnoh is obviously based off of the Parthenon. It’s funny because game freak went as far as to even mimic both Ionic and Doric styles in the Temple of Sinnoh just like the Parthenon. I will go as far to add that the Sinnoh temple is much simpler than the Parthenon due to the fact that it was not embellished with an elaborately carved frieze or any decoration on the exterior for the most part. Bizarre when even the broken ruins have evidence of some sort of ornamentation. It makes complete sense why the game developers chose this style seeing how is is know for being very simplistic. But it also dates it in context. It makes the Temple of Sinnoh the first temple that was build and the others that followed were build as the civilization grew ( thus more elaborate but we can only see the crumbled remains).
I will be ignoring the Snowpoint temple because it is a weird combination of styles and almost seems alien and out of place which very much fits the Regi theme. It is also based on the early game design which was limited and blocky for game space sake.
Ok, heavy Greek and Roman influence. Back to Volo and his obviously Greek and Roman fit. Volo’s name itself means “I wish” in latin and could possibly be a reference to the phrase “volō, ergo sum” (I wish, therefore I am). Very in character since it is the wish for more” and he did everything he could to achieve that.
The actual influence for the design is more Roman in nature. This bothered me because we can see that research and thought went into it, but they just simplified it. And this actually has a point.
To begin with the obvious stuff, we see that volo’s shirt is definitely toga like. It even goes so far to be decorated with a Fibula (brooch)in a way that indicates a higher rank or status. Cool Volo, we get that you think highly of yourself. Color choice is also same as Arceus, but we also know that white togas were also used by senators and high political officers.
Next , the shoes. These are just the basic stereotypical Spirit Halloween Greek god/goddess type of sandals you can get at your local costume shop. This was actually the most disappointing part of the outfit for me. But it makes sense they went with the most simplified and recognizable style. They wanted us to look at this outfit and go “ Wow, Volo has been studying his myths and recreated an outfit”. This is what you could expect someone to create with just a written description of the clothing used during that time.
The necklace is interesting because it stands out so much compared to the gold colors. I am no sure what they were going for here by making it so prominent, but it brings us to an interesting thought. If they necklace does have meaning, it is related directly to the design/shape. The waterdrop could be the Greek symbolism for "tears of grace” or in a sense “gods grace”. The idea that the tears of god water the harvest and provide life. Alternate interpretations could simply be water as a source of life, or a symbol or sadness a mourning. If it is a symbol of of mourning, this might be a clue to why Volo might desire to rewrite the world so much.
Last but not least, the pants. I think we can all decide this is one of the worst parts of the outfit, and to me it is just straight up confusing for two main reasons. For starters, the color green is so prominent when green is an accent color on Arceus. So maybe the color has meaning itself. But if you look at the image above, the color mainly refers to life and “the harvest” (possibly like the necklace). It has a weird connections to life and creation itself, which probably is why it was included in Arceus’ design and makes sense as Volo essentially wants to become the creator of life in a new world.
But this isn’t the part that gets me the most. The second thing that confuses me is the fact that the Greeks and Romans did not use pants. This was because pants were associated with non-Roman/Greek cultures (the Germanic tribes and Vikings) who they looked down upon. On top of that, the Greeks thought pants were feminine and silly. This could also just simply be a design choice because they didn’t wanna draw Volo in a full toga and accidently make him look like Christ. But this leads to my final point of the physical outfit itself.
VOLO’S OUTFIT WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD. IT’S SUPPOSED TO LOOK DORKY AND BAD BECAUSE IT WAS FLAWED! This is based on the real world cultures it was based on. And although Volo may have done a lot of research, he still didn’t completely understand ancient culture. It’s bad because Volo made it himself. His outfit was flawed just like his ideology. It is his own interpretation of a culture that he had idolized without truly understanding that this great and ancient culture crumbled. And based off of the architecture of the ruins and temples, it never even reached a prime before it fell.
But Volo thinks its correct/cool/accurate. He is being a fool about it because he didn’t understand the bigger picture and had become consumed with this desire for power and control. This as an idea is really cool and I find it funny that you can also wear the outfit. Its essentially mocking him. If we look at the outfit in this light, the design was a success in getting us to dislike it and evoke this distaste. We didn’t know why, but this is why.
SO IN SUMMARY, OUTFIT WAS BAD ON PURPOSE. It wasn’t thoughtless, in fact there was a lot of research behind it and yet that seems to be thrown out to simplify the design in a way that looks like someone hand made it based off of what they had put together themselves.
But this isn’t my favorite part of the concept art. My favorite part is the hands.
Look at his hands. Why are they in those positions? Wouldn’t it have been easier to create more standard poses? To me the hand gestures here are just too specific. So I started digging around for what they could be on a Art history level. I looked at Non Christian art first and then Christian symbolism within their mosaics, illuminated manuscripts, and paintings. And I found some verrrry interesting similarities. I am not trying to make this religious. I just found some interesting similarities between old Christian art and Volo’s design. Which makes sense if we go back to this Greek/Roman influence because these cultures eventually converted to Christianity. And Arceus is kind of a weird goat god Jesus.
The left hand is where the biggest symbolism is. Basically, this hand gesture has been used to indicate “the hand of god” or the “hand of justice”. Christ sometimes is draw with a similar hand position and could be a sign of the cross, but this would also refer to some sort of divinity. I will also note that Volo is in no way making the classic “blessing” hand gesture.
As for the right hand he is making what I assume is a Greek/Roman orator (speaker) gesture. This would mean that Volo is calling for attention. Note, that I didn't’ compare this to prophets. That’s because orators speak for themselves and prophets for god. And Volo thinks he is god.
Under this context, in the concept art Volo is essentially saying “I am God”. If we add the symbolism of his outfit, it only further solidifies this idea. Volo’s outfit/concept comes together and screams “behold, I am god , the hand of justice. I will be the creator or the new world”. Which is so freaking clever because that’s literally what he tells you.
Sure his hands are switched and lowered compared to actual real world art examples (thank you Game freak for not throwing in actual religious symbols/gestures), but I think the intention is still there. It’s so good that I am mad. So as much as I hate this dumb outfit, I cannot deny that it was well thought out, that the character was well thought out.
To conclude, these are my assumptions. I am not an expert on art history or religion. If you have further insights on this feel free to share. I’d be interested with what others had to add. I the end this could all be wrong and just crazy for overthinking the designs of a pokemon character, but it just seems too intentional to be carelessly thrown together. This is just one possible interpretation.
Though its just more evidence in my mind that a lot of love and care went into developing Legends of Arceus. Despite their limitations and resources.
#volo#arceus#pokemon legend of arceus#legend of arceus#giritina#art history#temple of sinnoh#i can finally rest after typing up this mad assumption#sunny speaks#a special thank you to my friends who heard me ramble about this#and thanks to game freak for actually doing research for their games#its not perfect but an effort was made#pla

Same person that said your art style scratches the inside of my head (I used the wrong your in the original ask smh)
I wanted to also say how much I love how you draw Shuichi <3 It's perfect, people have already complimented how you draw Kokichi (perfect, as well) so I thought how you draw Shuichi deserves some love as well
ive been looking through my drawing folders and have come to the conclusion that your definition of "perfect shuichi" equals to "stressed out of his mind", which i find hilarious /lh
i fucking love shuichi i find him to be such a compelling character. *puts this in your pocket when you're not looking*
#hate his hair too btw#i love this bitch he's so stupid#and also a really nuanced interesting character blah blah blah HES SILLY#im not that comfy with how i potray “shuchi vibes” yet! “quiet and subtle” are things im currently still learning to incorporate in my draws#which makes me honored you think its anywhere near perfect?? wowza! im glad ;u; ill only get better from here!!#*proceeds to draw ooc sassy shuichi* /j#Shuichi Saihara#saihara shuichi#drv3#dr shuichi#i DID notice the wrong “you're” and it took a lot of effort to not fall into my “uhm actually ways” /lh#but now that YOU'VE brought it up... *points and laughs at you because you made an inconsequential and irrelevant spelling mistake* /j#jk mistakes happen mate!! plus you're on anon nobody has to knowwwww#ask maiora#maiora draws#eyestrain

#laya plays dragon age#da2#oc: liam hawke#this happened a bit ago already & i wanted to draw sth for it but idk if i will finish that#but i gotta yell abt them anyway because OGH.#i have a lot of emotions about this quest ok#bartrand was the perfect scapegoat he was perfect to direct all the rage and pain at all these years#years of imagining gleeful revenge while bartrand is gloating and laughing like an evil soulless bastard#and then you meet him and he is just. a pathetic husk of a man with barely any own will left#and whats worse. varric is so so torn up about it#varric. the guy who never makes anything about him and who will always handwave and joke when something hits too close to home#drops all efforts to be smart and is just. desperate. begs hawke to not kill his brother#and liam wants to want bartrand dead so bad. he wishes he could look him in the eye and enjoy taking his life#and he knows varric will listen to him if he insisted. he knows when it comes down it it varric will yield to his decision#but he sees this broken guy who is barely the villain he kept projecting onto him and he sees varric and he sees two doomed siblings#and knows what its like to lose your sibling to your own blade#and he cant do it#and he hates it so much. but he wont do it.#and its the reason why i cant decide who dealt the killing blow for bethany bc it makes this scene juicy in different ways#if varric kills bethy its equally wanting to spare each other their siblings blood on their hands#as it is taking some form of revenge (on liams part). we both killed each others siblings. now we are even#the revenge part would still be there if liam did the blow on bethany himself. you made me do that and now i will take bartrand for it#but its also much more i know what its like. i wont make go through that too#if varric killed bethy and then also bartrand it would be more#''its my fault she is dead. i will take the revenge she/you deserves if you tell me to even though it will hurt me#dunno. all good variations i will. have to rotate them in my head more#or maybe just never decide idk they can be in canon limbo forever#anyways thats it for shouting into the void about them for now it Will happen again

hoooh man me sharing dead plate fics.. fun: ghost au pt. 2
//i will say beforehand that this one was my second time writting somethin bout dead plate therefore i may have made some mischaracterizations and probs had foggy memory of the exact lore yaddayadda ok plz bear w me, and lets move on
@aactuallyno
"Uugh..Ack.. it hurts... yet it doesn't feel much like it..."
He started opening his eyes, feeling mild but still noticeable pain, he looked at his hands, covered in roasted flesh and showing bones. Vincent caressed himself on the face, and the rest of his body, all of it, was just burnt flesh and uncovered bones
"My body... It's all ruined... and painful" He muttered, "And it itches... It itches sooo much..."
He tumbled as he tried to get up, just a pathetic void of roasted flesh. He scratched all around his body, but there was a specific spot itching the most, he reached his hand were it was, in a side of his neck, he remembered that moment...
"This is where Rody stabbed me..." Vincent scratched faster, "It itches, it itches so much it hurts... But it won't stop, no matter how much I scratch it, how hard I try..."
He was standing in the middle of a sketchy background, basically nowhere, talking to himself, being just a mere lost soul in nothingness.
"My life, my bistro, my dreams... All gone, all got ruined because of him... If only he didn't know, if only he complied, but no! All he cared is for that damn girl!
...You disappoint me so much, Rody"
But in a strange glance of the void, he slowly turned as he felt there was someone else nearby. He turned to see another voidy soul like him, but it was a shady looking Manon, she was red void with a single, creepy eye open, with tears dropping across her face, and the marking, the markings she had when she got cut up...
"Ah... Manon" Vince stepped back a bit, "So, we meet again, huh?"
Manon kept staring at him, without making a single movement
"Well, if that's the revenge you wanted, then you got it! Your precious ex-boyfriend saved a life that was long gone... It's just that pathetic, isn't it?"
She didn't reply, just standing there
"Well, now he's out there, probably lost in the city, because all he cared for is no longer there, just disappeared, just like all my dreams and ambitions! Are you happy with that!?"
Manon kept staring at him, Vincent just felt something snap inside him
"I tried so hard to get there! I did all my best to overcome my own limits! I tried to wipe off the fact I couldn't taste ANYTHING just to accomplish my dream! My life! All of that taken away by a mere person that only cared about his girlfriend more than anything in the world! How could you dump him!? How could you leave him over someone like me!? I wish I had someone to love me the way he loved you! But I never got it, because I was too focused on my dream, my ambition, my obsession! And to get over that day I lost my sense of taste... That's all you wanted to hear? All my woes and how pathetic I've become?"
Seeing no response from her, he groaned
"I wanted my taste back, I wanted to see what 'cooking with love' felt... But it didn't happen, and now it never will! Ironic, isn't it? I will not feel or taste anything but demise in this limbo where I'm at, with you.."
He looked back at Manon, "You know what? Fine, take the revenge you want to do! Torture me as much as you please! I do not deserve forgiveness for what I've done and what I was about to do, because it was ALL for NOTHING!"
It was at that moment he saw Manon take a step forward, "I forgive you", she replied
"Eh, what was that?" Vincent tilted his head
"I forgive you... Because you will not harm Rody anymore, nor anybody else... I do not mind what you've done to me... But"
She stepped closer to Vincent, whom didn't take steps back anymore, her red eye looking straight at his, he knew it was more dead serious...
"Your actions still have consequences..."
Vincent mildly closed his eye, "What else might happen? I am nothing but ashes and burnt flesh now..."
"You will not hurt Rody in any way, or I will know..."
The two ghosts stood there in the sketchy void, with tension surrounding in their staring contest.
"I will not let you harm him anymore."
#any vincent fans out there.. im sorry#i personally think his thoughts of being on eternal demise with an itchy body rlly made him snap#his efforts for absolute perfection crumbled right before him.. just thinkin bout that#but ehh.. im sorry if its not so in character for him

Don’t you just kinda wanna go insane thinking about how it took years for Shane Dawsons youtube career built on blackface and pedophilia and other “edgy jokes” to get “canceled” but then some hardly semi popular marginalized creator who makes all their money online makes a tweet that’s offensive if you dig deep enough and they get instantly shit on and deemed as irredeemably harmful and no amount of apologies will ever make up for the irreparable damage they have caused to marginalized communities everywhere? Is this really truly how you want to live life and support your community or are you just a dickwad who thinks anger automatically=activism?
#the klock keeps ticking#sarah z is one person that comes to mind thats like why do you people treat her like this i really dont get it#like idk im not a devout fan of her videos but she seems to put in a lot of effort to not offend anyone#like the dashcon vid she made extra sure to say that we shouldnt make fun of the tumblr teens who attended cuz they were just innocent nerds#but ppl still found ways to be mad#shes not the only person obviously but like aaaaaa why do you guys do this#do you think youre perfect and have never committed any crimes#when youve shat on everyone in your highly vulnerable community your ass is gonna be next i hope you know#its just deflection and fear honestly like you think if you lash out at ‘bad’ people that makes you good#and you gotta start really stretching to find problems or just straight up lie about weak people so you can actually win for once#cuz like shane dawson is rich as hell so even though he was ‘canceled’ hes still rich and can do whatever#what can a small marginalized creator do? are you gonna rejoice when they kill themselves???#do you think that would make you a Good Boy??

I think one of my fav fics had Jason like loving his mom deeply right- but also had him being like , that was not a good place for a child and she made some mistakes but she loved me and I love her ,
Cause like that’s what growing up is.. seeing your parents as humans ya? (Plus it paralleled his relationship with Bruce and stuff v good)
YES! EXACTLY!! everyday I'm.begging dc stans to understand imperfect parents shouldn't equate bad parents.
#ofc i know Catherine made mistakes but for me it's so disheartening to think abt bc I KNOW its so rooted into apathy for drug addicts#you can absolutely feel pain for jason due to his environment while understanding catherine:#a) did not have the resources nor the help to do something abt it due to the corruption in gotham making it impossible for poverty striken#neighbours to better itself. b) she died before she COULD#not to mention the outside influences jason CANONICALLY hated more than any drug. you can also acknowledge all the good sacrifices and love#and effort she made for him. trying to give him something in a system where they're NOTHING.#catherine was jason's batman before bruce#and in addition to that-- im kinda tired with dc stans rejecting any parental figure thats not cutter cookie perfect#you wont fucking get that in dc#asks

Just ate the most amazing tangerine I've had in A LONG TIME
#but as i was eating it...the entire experience reminded me of myself in a strange way#i chose it because it looked amazing - the skin was a vibrant orange i had never seen before#but as i tried to peel it i had massive difficulty#i wondered if maybe it wasn't actually ripe yet despite how wonderful it looked on the skin and maybe it would be bitter or dry to eat#then it sprayed me as i was trying to peel it and i tasted it#it tasted nice#finally i got enough pieces exposed to take and eat#and as i bit into it - it was everything i had hoped:#a perfect balance between sweet and sour without being at all bitter#i could not eat it politely due to its firmness and juice ran down my hands and sprayed onto my face and hair#but it was worth it#and it made me think:#hey. i look great but i have an incredibly tough exterior too#but when you take the time to get to know me — you realise i can be very sweet and very sour at times depending on my life#and maybe i am a mess too#but all put together...i am still wonderful. and that i am worth the effort too.#roacc#thoughts of a cruel mistress

my mother sews clothes and costumes. less now, but she used to do it All The Time.
and my sister dyed some overalls before (so she could be wario and she did look Fucking Awesome)
and part of me just thinks, well. if i can lean on their knowledge. i could get it done eventually, right
#i could also like. buy a costume someone else made.#and even IF its cheaply made it has good odds of being better than whatever i slap together#but it. feels like the personal effort is sort of the point of a cosplay?#anyway thinking about all the steps involved might be enough to dissuade me from doing it#but who knows#maybe i'll end up following through and then i'll have improved my costume-making skills#even if it doesn't turn out perfect if i try to do these things i'll end up learning SOMETHING in the process#man i don't know if i'm talking myself into or out of this right now lmao

If you wanted me dead you should’ve just said (michael @ william)
"don̶̫͌'t be so̴̬͝ ridicu̶͇̒lo̷̤͑us" head near twists at the sound, a cynical laugh erupting from the damaged cords. that ever-present grin held as his skull remains visible within the burned flesh of the rabbit head. his glowing eyes twist to red briefly as his steps sound more like stomps, reaching ahead to tilt his undead's son's head up to look at him properly.
"if i w̷͚͐anted yo̶͈̎u dead, i wou̴̠̕ldn̷͓̋'t have bú̴͇ilt funtim̴̫̍e fox̸͕͂y to be your new caś̸̯ing." the rabbit hand, with william's old bones and what flesh still holds tightly on them, placed upon michael's own rotting head. there's almost a sentimental touch to his care, though it's lost quickly when the reality of his words would settle in. "ā̵̹ll we needed was h̵̺͋ȉ̴̼m̵͙͛. it would have been pḛ̷̎rfe̶͓̕c̵͎͛t. we cő̷̱u̷̬̅ld have bḛ̴͆ẹ̴̈n perf̷̮̉ect."

ANDOR: Ahem. I have heard that the greatest persuasion is nothing more than telling the truth, so I speak in the voice given me by my mother, Freya. I make no grand overtones or guttural whispers for dramatic effect.
(MARKET VENDOR: More flavours! Come and drink away your sorrows!)
ANDOR: I am only Andor. My voice trembles.
(MARKET VENDOR: More flavours! Come and drink away your sorrows!)
ANDOR: I have come to ask my father a question. Will you listen? Father, I know you're listening too.
LIEUTENANT AL: Prince Andor!
ANDOR: Haven't you noticed? Do these wings look like the product of some frivolous magic? Whom do you suppose the statue at the bridge represents? Not Mianite. I am an acolyte of the wounded goddess; I always have been. We worship Ianite.
LIEUTENANT AL: I have found evidence of a rebellion against Mianite! And I will have to arrest you, Prince, for leading this rebellion!
[With each syllable from Andor's lips grows a surrounding gust of wind, which halts the Lieutenant's advance, despite his best efforts to subdue the awakening acolyte.]
KING HELGRIND, now named APOSTLE HELGRIND: ANDOR!!!
ANDOR: While you have governed this port city and allocated its resources to the glorification of your "one true god," I-
APOSTLE HELGRIND, interrupting: You no longer have a place in this town! During my time away, the truth of the one true god has only become clearer.
ANDOR, speaking louder: I have been chiseling Ianite's likeness into your stones and penning her mantras into your paper. Her teachings have been with me all these years, guiding me towards a day of peace and unity-
LIEUTENANT AL: You will never…!
ANDOR, now shouting: -while you have winced at the thought of our hope and stooped over the corpses of the lost.
APOSTLE HELGRIND: Lieutenant, seize Andor and take him to our Lord.
ANDOR: If you had but journeyed with me! I am at the threshold. Soon, Ianite will rise! And my mother and sister's spirits will rise with her.
APOSTLE HELGRIND: Lieutenant!
LIEUTENANT AL: I- AM- TRYING!
ANDOR: I hear your voice, father. I hear your anger.
APOSTLE HELGRIND: ENOUGH OF THIS NONSENSE.
ANDOR: Do what you will with me. But first, know this. If your god is just and blameless, with flawless integrity, then fear not. Your battle is already won. But if there is the smallest fracture in Mianite's armor… then the crevice will widen. The shell will corrode. And Mianite's sins and yours will seep through. All the false glory you have built will be wiped in preparation for this world's restoration and rebirth. I do not know why you begrudge Ianite, for our family's death, nor why you hide your wounds, father. But I do know that healing is available to you. It is the greatest gift anyone can receive, greater than a shield, greater than a sword.
LIEUTENANT AL: Andor!
ANDOR: Greater than your perfect, made-up world. If it is your wish, see this to its end. Do everything in your power to create the world you so crave. I cannot stay your hand. I raise no sword. I wear no armor. I have only this boomerang, given by a true friend. You could stop this. We could go to the docks, and throw it, just like old times with Mom. We could. I invite you.
[ANDOR collapses from exhaustion. The protecting wind subsides, and he is immediately seized by LIEUTENANT AL.]
