notes under cut.
the swans are a reference to a Brothers Grimm fairytale “The Six Swans” a story about a king who remarries after the death of his wife. the new queen secretly mistreats his children and turns his six sons into swans. his daughter escapes this fate but in order to save her brothers, she must not speak or laugh for six years. in other versions of the story, she must also weave a shirt out of nettle grass for each brother.
**edit as of March 2024, after letting this thing live in my drafts for ages: this art is 2 years old! what the hell
Been meaning to animate something for practice and then saw @orbital-inclination new post of Molt and Rem having a snowball fight. Just the rough keys right now, might add a few more. hehe so silly. Killer getting sacrificed. R.I.P. Killer
midway progress through design goofn with the Delta characters, here's Rem and Rhea for now _(:3」∠)_
keep in mind Rem only dresses like that maybe 2% of the time, he wears literally a white t-shirt and jeans all other times. Only on occasion he can be convinced to wear ""traditional nightmare acolyte clothing"" with Raken
[ID: Seven panels from Trigun Maximum. The first shows a close-up of Rem's face, sweating and frowning anxiously. The second panel shows a child Vash lying in a bed, his expression mostly obscured by the back of Rem's head. Vash says, "It's been one year." The third panel shows more of Vash's face, revealing that his cheeks are hollow, his eyes sunken into their sockets and heavily shadowed, and he's sweating. Without context from previous pages, he's absolutely uncrecognizable as Vash. He says, "we're perfect... for continuing the experiments you start on her!" The fourth panel shows Rem jumping to her feet and shouting "I would never--!", her expression shocked, on the verge of angry. In the fifth panel Vash cuts her off, screaming, "You wouldn't?! Can you prove it?!" His expression is untempered fury, with his holy only just visible between the folds of sunken skin around his left eye. The sixth panel closes in entirely on his left eye, the bags under it more detailed, the mole slightly more visible as he screams, "After what you people did to her! To say you wouldn't do the same to us... how will you prove it?!" His screaming covers most of the last panel, visibly overwhelming Rem, whose eyes are still wide with shock, but whose mouth is still closed in a tight frown as she starts to sweat. End ID.]
I'm glad Nightow has the eye close-ups that make it undeniable that this is Vash, furious, bitter, and no longer able to trust even Rem. I think there are those who read these flashbacks as being inconsistent, making Vash and Knives so opposite in temperament to their adult selves, which I think betrays a powerful misunderstanding of both child development and character development. Who Vash and Knives are as adults is a direct reaction to who they were as children, and what happened to those children. They saw something so traumatic that it made Vash want to die because he was so terrified of sharing the world with "only humans"; he saw what was left of someone just like him after human curiosity was through with her, and for the first time had cause to wonder if the millions of humans frozen in the ship would even see him as a person. While this is an incredibly traumatic version of this process, I think a lot of us with some not immediately obvious degree of marginalization (such as being queer) have had a moment something like this, a dawning realization that there are people out there will not see you as a person, and who might even want to hurt or kill you about it. I imagine it happens a lot sooner and faster for people who are more visibly marginalized, but either way, how this happens to you and how you learn to deal with it is undeniably character-forming.
10 more images beneath the cut (WARNING: brief nightmare imagery):
Light’s dragging his feet with the plan, and he can’t hide his fatigue anymore. Soichiro insists he come home, and Light reluctantly agrees. L finds Kira’s inactivity and Light’s resistance to leave concerning.
Hiiii hope this ask isn’t a bother but you reblogged a dungeon meshi post and added this picture at the end
And I just wanna know where you found it/read it because I desperately want to know every other character’s interpretations of each other in the shapeshifter arc, but this page wasn’t available in the site I used to read the manga… I need that curiosity fulfilled lol. Thanks!
I think i got it from the dungeon meshi adventurers bible? Which is called Delicious in Dungeon World Guide: Adventurer's Bible on manga sites ^_^ has extra little info like dis for the main characters + many others
Anyway, most of yall voted for Sun and Moon (not who i was betting on but should I surprised)
Behold you get a look at UnderREM Moon and Sun (and lil Lunar babu...)! That’s your prize!
Anyway, while the question was vague, the only answer we have rn is Tsiuri.
Also somehow in the BG of it all Mettaton Muffet and MewMew were second place to all this. Tied but hilariously.
