SVT Seungkwan and Vernon

DISCLAIMER:

These are interpersonal tarot readings of seventeen members FOR FUN. These are literally just for me and I don’t expect anyone to take this seriously. Also, I don’t know everything about tarot but I know enough. These are my interpretations of the readings.

I also do these readings to practice so take them with a grain of salt. This is my hobby so if u disagree with me just know I really dgaf.

Deck: The Dreamkeepers Tarot Deck by Liz Huston

Reading done on 12/06/22

Overall Relationship:

Two of Cups (my goodness...)

✩ This is the soulmate card btw. If you didn't know.

✩ There is so much love between them. Like I'm talking incredibly deep amounts of it. There is a deep bond and great synergy between them. They completely understand each other without question.

✩ The 2oC is an incredibly romantic card and is traditionally interpreted as a card that represents a deep, romantic relationship. In this case, I interpret Seungkwan and Vernon to be very familiar with each other. There is a constant air of fondness around them.

✩ What's even more interesting about the 2oC card is that it suggests there is still room to go even deeper in the relationship. In other words, Seungkwan and Vernon haven't even reached their peak yet. There is so much to discover between them and they're more than happy to do that.

Vernon in Seungkwan's eyes:

Six of Wands

High Priestess

✩ Seungkwan views Vernon as someone who is deserving of all the praise he gets (6oW) since he tends to get an abundance of it anyways. He is the best in Seungkwan's eyes. He is also a hard worker

✩ Vernon holds a lot of wisdom and potential (High Priestess). Seungkwan notes that Vernon keeps to himself and is always able to tap into his hidden intellect to make wise decisions (HP).

✩ To Seungkwan, Vernon is the best person he's met. There is no jealousy to be felt from these cards. Only pure admiration.

Seungkwan in Vernon's eyes:

Wheel of Fortune

✩ This is getting ridiculous

✩ Vernon sees Seungkwan as someone who constantly brings good fortune to him. I think Vernon sees Seungkwan as fortune and goodwill itself.

✩ The Wheel of Fortune also symbolizes fate and destiny, so I don't think it would be inappropriate of me to interpret this as Vernon believing it was fate that brought him and Seungkwan together.

Personal Comments:

✩ The cards EXUUUDDDEEDDDD adoration. Just pure love.

I think they'd get along

Shadow Milk seems like he'd enjoy sharing some tea (methaphorical and literal) with Cherry Blossom. The stories he tells her might be a bit biased and warped, but she's supportive either way!

next part

#this isn't meant as a ship post but #honestly if you somehow decide that this is the crackship of your dreams - go for it #i see them as gossipping besties #also her not taking anyone's shit and standing up for herself and her picnics would put her in his favour I think #shadow milk cookie #cherry blossom cookie #shadow milk #shadow milk crk #shadow milk fanart #implied shadowvanilla #(he could also be whining about elder faerie but yk)#(your choice here)#Cherry blossom calls everyone “darling”#blorbo-time

you should add them on Facebook, Sakura's about to to post some kandi tutorials

full images without the gifs & with the original colors below the cut!

Left is with the copious amounts of gradient maps I used to make it look like the picture was taken with the flash on and Right is the OG colors!!!

The gifs in the above image are from Instagram. I cannot get Blingee to load on my wifi whatsoever

Here's a close up of my FAVORITE part of the whole piece

I got the manga pages from @hetascanlations !! I believe they're from 2014, chapter 1, on the blog!!!

I also know this is a mess when it comes to the time period, oops! I originally was going for more of a 2008ish look, with Scene Amelia and (Dark) Decora Sakura, but with the 2014 manga and addition of kandi, they kinda just look like 2020s scene revivalists... oops! I don't think I leaned into the decora look enough for Sakura as well. I'll definitely do decora fashion better for her individual illustration

I also need everyone to know that they made each other's necklaces. They were meant to be friendship necklaces, which is why Amelia's has an S, but Amelia got LAZY and just made one big necklace for Sakura that she's looped around her neck three times. Sakura made the star that Amelia's wearing too :)c also they traded hairclips

This entire thing was sparked by me thinking abt Amelia to Avril Lavigne's "One Of Those Girls," which I HAVEEEEE to draw her to. May draw an individual Sakura illustration as well, for funsies. The first time I saw a picture of people with super teased and flat-ironed hair with all of the dyed raccoon tail extensions, it was OVER for me. Age 10, I wanted to be them SO BAD. Anyway, I wouldn't consider myself scene, I definitely considered myself emo in the early 2010s, but I got a lot of hand-me-downs from a friend who was scene, including the shirt that Amelia's sweatshirt is based off of and some DC shoes!!! I won't lie, though, Amelia's definitely wearing some cowboy boots with her fit. Sakura's probably got some checkered vans. Anyway, they're probably listening to Breathe Carolina and Millionaires

I also absolutely ruined my Spotify feed for this drawing, so, hope you all enjoy because my Spotify wrapped will NOT!

Sigma and Lucy and their connection to Atsushi (+the pattern with people Atsushi wants to help and how Sigma falls into it)

(Or how they all fall into it, and quite literally fall since for some reason there's a repeated pattern of important moments between Kyouka, Lucy and Sigma when it comes to Atsushi and one or both of them falling or jumping from a high ledge)

I've never been able to stop thinking about this so I'm finally making a post on this.

I'm gonna mainly compare chapter 28 and chapter 76, and the events surrounding these chapters that take place on the same day as them and in relation to them.

The chapters show us more on a member of the enemy terrorist organisation that the ADA are currently up against. In the chapter (or around this chapter for Sigma), we see the backstory of a member and bit of their ideology.

This character started out life with no family and no home, being used and abused in their early years.

It's noted that their backstory is similar to Atsushi's, and that they are actually very similar to him.

The character loses their home in this chapter (or implied in this chapter for Lucy), and the only family they had that they desperately clung onto and fought for. Even if it wasn't a proper family, it was all they had. They'd been alone their whole lives and didn't want to be alone again.

The home and family in question are on a floating structure in the sky. This is also where the chapter takes place.

Atsushi says something to this character that affects them. The character ends up helping him just before the two part ways.

This is the last look they give Atsushi before they leave eachother

The character and Atsushi leave eachother by one of them falling. For Chapter 28 it's Atsushi who jumps off leaving Lucy, and they leave with a hopeful interaction of them meeting again. For Chapter 76, it's Sigma who falls leaving Atsushi, with a less hopeful interaction of Atsushi believing Sigma is dead and Sigma letting go believing he would die.

Notably in this chapter, right after Sigma falls Lucy shows up. The last ex-terrorist now friend/ally to Atsushi. And in opposition to both Chapter 28 (where Atsushi jumped away from her) and the scene that just happened (with Atsushi failing to save an enemy) she jumps off a high ledge TOWARDS Atsushi to save him. Lucy was where Sigma currently is, and both her and her bond with Atsushi have grown a lot since then, and this could also be the future for Sigma.

There is a promise for Atsushi to save this character. Unfortunately, he doesn't end up saving them. They also get taken again by their organisation, no longer by any will of their own.

Chapter 76 including these three with notable moments definitely feels to me like a comparison of Lucy and Sigma and their relationship with Atsushi. Sigma's situation is very similar to Lucy's as I've previously shown. Terrorists that have recently suffered loss in regards to their found home and family, that get a connection with Atsushi in this chapter. Unlike with Lucy, Sigma and Atsushi left eachother without hope of seeing the other again or Atsushi being able to help them (for the characters, the story itself does give hope of this happening). Then Lucy shows up, as a reminder of the last enemy he helped that DID turn out OK, and to show how far Lucy has come since then, since she was where Sigma is. It shows that hope might not be lost for Sigma either.

With it already being established that Sigma now wants to become an ADA member, the possibility of seeing Sigma grow like Lucy did and develop a bond with Atsushi like she did gets closer to being canon. There's something there and I'm really looking forward to seeing how Sigma's character could possibly develop after this arc (and when he wakes up because my guy is likely in a coma rn 😔)

The Pattern

I've stated that Lucy being in chapter 76 is important to show the connection Sigma could eventually have with Atsushi, but even though she's not in that chapter it's also important to note Kyouka. In the sky Casino mission to retrieve Sigma, where Sigma and Atsushi meet for the first time, it was specifically Lucy and Kyouka who went with Atsushi.

For both Lucy and Kyouka, there were three notable incidents with Atsushi until they become allied with the ADA permanently.

Kyouka:

- Atsushi saving her from the train

- Atsushi saving her from Akutagawa

- Kyouka escaping the Guild and becoming an official ADA member

Lucy:

- Atsushi beating Lucy

- Atsushi and Lucy's talk on the Whale

- Atsushi and Lucy's meeting in the cafe

The pattern here was there being a first meeting where Atsushi is shown wanting to help the character even though they're an enemy that he just thought against and a terrorist.

The next incident takes place a while after the first and is a pivotal point where its made certain in the story that things will turn out OK for the enemy character. A bond is set between them and Atsushi. -------------------------- After the second incident, things in fact do not turn out OK for the character and the audience was actually led into a false security. Kouyou shows up after to try and take back Kyouka, and the Guild kidnaps Lucy from her room before Atsushi can 'come back and save her'. Now the character is in danger again and their fate is once again up in the air, only now there's more at stake since a bond with Atsushi has already been established and the audience has been given the chance to grow attached to them. Whether or not this character will be able to join 'the side of the light' and have a home and family like they wanted is uncertain again

It's the third incident that sets into stone again that the character does in fact turn out OK. They reunite with Atsushi, and they finally get to live a good life with a home and the freedom to live how they wished to. The character is now connected with the ADA and after this point in the story, no matter what happens to the character their place in the light is never thrown into question again, they belong here.

So I believe this could happen with Sigma. He doesn't follow the exact same process, considering that Sigma is also being helped by Dazai, and could be grouped with Atsushi as someone Dazai saved, but chapter 76 still follows the pattern well enough that I believe this could happen.

We've already had our first incident with their meeting. Despite me comparing this chapter to Lucy and Atsushi's second meeting, for Sigma and Atsushi this still fits into the territory of the first part of the pattern.

(Intetesting note: Unlike with Lucy and Kyouka, after it was established that Atsushi wanted to help the enemy, this was the first time where Atsushi 'failed' to. He jumped from the train with Kyouka, he jumped off the Whale after promising to come back for Lucy, but at the sky Casino it was Sigma who fell instead, and Atsushi stayed thinking that he just saw the last of a now dead man that he failed to help. Then again, it could just be following the pattern and we'll see a more hopeful outcome with their second meeting)

The second incident will likely be them meeting again. It will end more hopefully, with a further bond between Atsushi and Sigma and more hope for Sigma joining the ADA.

If we then follow the pattern, something bad will happen to Sigma to throw this off course, and put into question whether he'll actually be able to join the ADA and get a home.

This will last for some time, until the third part eventually comes where Sigma finally gets to stay with his new home and new life. After this, it should be permanent to the story and Sigma shouldn't have his status as an ADA member/ally put into question or at risk again.

realizing im kind of a weirdo about laios and marcille

#possramble #ignore this im just babbling but #the thing is that like. i don't ship laios and marcille together. their relationship is so so important to me in that laios comphets himsel #and THINKS that he might be in love with her but he isn't and that's my insane obsession #platonic soulmates for real but they're so sweet together that i fully expect them to be shipped together #like i get it. that's almost the appeal for me. if dungeon meshi were any other series there'd be an epilogue where they get married #convention dictates that they're meant to be together as the male protagonist and his beloved female deuteragonist #but dungeon meshi DOESNT do that and i love it so fucking much they're the comphet besties ever for my strange little brain #like if i ever did an arranged marriage au it would absolutely be laios and marcille having a platonic political marriage and then just #the most insane mutual pining with marcille and falin while laios and marcille struggle their way into becoming best friends #the imagery of the king and his beautiful court mage being tender to each other and everyone thinking they're in love is like catnip to me #like yeah they'd be like that and have no idea people think they should be together and the subversion makes me so obsessed #the more people ship them romantically. the more i enjoy their platonic dynamic it's like some sort of weird comphet fetishism idk #people think they're in love and im outside the window like YES... YES!!!#but also the second i see stuff of them kissing on the mouth or fucking im like oh god no i went too deep in here i gotta get out #don't wanna see that. i'll go feral over the idea of laios and marcille being arm-in-arm like king and queen but they would not fuck.#i want marcille to be his default comphet beard and dance partner/plus one at official royal events but they're not kissing.#she's there on his arm because he's scared of the other noble women tryna get him and being a baby about it #and people see them muttering to each other and laughing and generally being very sweet and think that they're dating but they're not.#she's actually covered in hickies from falin underneath her dress and is gonna get dragon dicked right after the party is over #like she's in her bedroom and falin's helping her take her ridiculous dress off while listening to her complain about politics #and falin is the person she goes home to the person she falls asleep to and wakes up with #they're a triad of utter devotion to each other but only farcille's side of the triangle is romantic #it's almost like an open secret because they're not trying to hide it at all but people assume and are surprised to find out #like people are so right about her relationship with the toudens but with the siblings' roles switched #love of her life & irreplaceable life companion. does anyone get it #anyway. i don't know what's wrong with me #it bothers me that they're not the undisputed most popular het ship for marcille on ao3 #it's unnatural. marcille being paired with any other man should be a fringe case.

women will literally accuse women and esp lesbian circles of "not unpacking ""man-hating""" alleged ""misandry" sweetie xo" getting offended ppl aren't appropriately uplifting how "men are amazing and awesome and attractive and i won't be shamed for thinking so" as if appreciating men is a real counter opinion than blame whatever gave women of every sexuality instance to be jaded weary cautious and tired and who'll complain every now and then and continue on with her life until she dies putting up with patriarchy. just welcome to the "woke" internet where misogyny's over and "man-hate" "shamed for not hating men" is worth springing to defences for

yeah i've only seen people talk like men's rights activists and think they're being unbelievably progressive on tumblr it's kind of fascinating. like i can see how seeing people hate on men could mess with people and stuff but you can't demand men appreciation posts that's literally the whole world outside of idk your tumblr dash (or even on your tumblr dash because fandom misogyny from people who think they're not misogynistic at all is really something). men get praised for "babysitting" their own kids like be serious? it's very let men be masculine

i don't think being like men are soooo gross and we hate them is actually constructive and it can definitely veer into transphobia (you'll always be a man/"a male" and thus a danger to women/why would you ever want to become a man they're the enemy and the bane of society etc) and homophobia relatively quickly?

but the way people ON TUMBLR ""combat that"" is often so off to me like if the most basic feminist principles offend you then i'm not really sure where to go from here. i remember seeing a post that was like "men aren't your enemy. they're your friend/brother/father/colleague/neighbor" with a lot of notes and like i don't know how to tell you this but that's literally who's most likely to harm a woman, the men she knows?😭 and obviously not every system of oppression is exactly the same but would you say the same thing to someone criticizing white people like...just very weird

i think women who are attracted to men and dating them making jokes about how they only tolerate being attracted to men because they have no choice and especially the whole i'm bi so i love every woman and only find 1 in a 1000 men attractive (very often said while in a relationship with a man) thing is obnoxious and annoying for like everyone who has to hear it lmao but also when women who date men make jokes about it (not about them being ugly or unattractive or whatever but about them being bad partners in general) it's like. what else are they going to do like you said they're gonna endure patriarchy for the rest of their lives and as girlfriends/wives/mothers they go through the most it's very bleak? idk. it's not like you can date a better man yourself out of patriarchy

of course men aren't a all as bad as the worst guy you can imagine and they're not all out to get you or whatever but saying things like "men don't all benefit from the patriarchy rich men benefit from the patriarchy but jake, 23, is not oppressing you" is like. kind of insane. jake, 14, was oppressing me like have you never interacted with boys in school😭 and it's not like it was entirely their fault we all have to outgrow misogyny it's just you know society etc but some of them never outgrow it lmao and just...the takes you see on feminism on tumblr are astounding i hate it here

#and like i do think that young guys who feel bad about themselves only having people who make them feel worse and who actively make them #worse like incels and idk youtube algorithms to turn to is a problem but like. again it's the same thing as white people who feel bad about #being white to me in a way like are women and GIRLS supposed to coddle them and say it's gonna be okay you're great even when they're #like actually harming them by being misogynistic to them? that's already what they're taught to do always #the notes on that male loneliness epidemic post i reblogged a few weeks ago still haunt me like OH MY GOD #and if you think misogyny isn't as prevalent anymore you're very naive. and probably misogynistic yourself #i'm not even sure young men being more feminist is true (well it's probably true when you compare it to like the 50s) but even #when men ARE like yeah women shouldn't have to do everything i can help with chores (the use of the word help is already a red flag lmao)#when you look at what they actually do they still do way less like i don't have links because these are tags on a tumblr ask but i read #somewhere that men think chores are 50/50 when they're only doing like 30% of the work? like it just seems hopeless #sometimes i'm happy and then i think about the mental load #sorry for not uplifting men 24/7 you can just hang out on the steve harrington tag or something there's actually a lot of people doing that #when someone said um does the ronance fandom not seem terfy to you...because of a post that was like can the lesbian ship ronance #be about the lesbian ship ronance not about steve A MAN #like you can't make this up #i meant it when i said the average tumblr user would benefit from being exposed to more misogyny like i swear they forget it's even a thing #like obviously they wouldn't BENEFIT from it lmao but their posts wouldn't be as dumb and that would benefit me🙏#ask

Some low-effort doodles because I've been thinking about Mymble Jr alot and just how much they watered her down in the 90s series. So I tried 'fixing' some scenes to make her atleast more expressive.

She and the Inspector would've been such a fun relationship if they just let them be themselves like in the comics (and books in Mymble's case), just, I dunno, they made her distinctly boring while they made the Inspector just a little extra silly and I think that's deeply unfair to Mymble. This is especially upsetting when they never shared the same panel in the comics besides 2 of them, and in one Mymble Jr is just standing there while Moomintroll does the talking.

#moomins #moominvalley #art #mymble jr #the mymbles daughter #mymble #the mymble #inspector #moomin inspector #the inspector #mymble x inspector #Mymspector #< ship tags just in case anyone is actually looking for them #ofc this is all in an alternate usniverse where Inspector is not gay lmao #also just another one of my fandom observations. I see people very often try to gay ship Mymjay and it just.. never felt *right* tbh #like yeah ok they're cute (Mymticky) for the most part but what are we getting here? where's Mymjay's personality gone to?#I barely see anyone do anything with her personality and then go ahead and completely wipe off her interest in men as if that'll fix her #like I would like the idea of her realizing that maybe she isn't meant to be with a man but there's so DEPTH to what I've seen #there's no silliness in the dynamics. there's so jokes between them or quirks or getting on eachother's nerves or w/e #it's all just very plain wlw shipping and it kind of annoys me. maybe it would annoy me far less if there was variety but there isn't #I've started getting reaaally into the idea of qpr Mymspector. I've had thoughts about them for a while but it's v intense lately #I don't like people chalking her attractions and girliness up to 'heteronormativity' bc that's just... idk. it's really not much?#it's not fixing a problem with her 90s boringness. it's only replacing it if you don't do anything with her original self #she NEEDS to be silly. she NEEDS to get intense. it's a general problem the 90s has with writing women but it hits esp hard for Mymjay #tanoshii muumin ikka #doodles #little my #moominmamma #snufkin #moomin sniff

Cyberpunk Fandom Leave The Old Man Alone And Stop Spreading Toxic Bullshit Challenge......

FAILED.

#cyberpunk 2077 #kerry eurodyne #fandom bullshit #Kerry is bisexual. it's not a headcanon and it's wrong to bully others if they have a ship you don't like or agree with. Curate your space!#don't steal other ppls VP for your TikToks. Asking for permission isn't that hard to do #also remember that fanart isn't meant to be perfect #give ppl the benefit of the doubt before jumping on them

Recently discovered that there are people that ship dbhks ONLY within fanon, which is so wild to me because I personally think that so much of their appeal is within their canon!

#I think this comes from enjoying shipping from an “ideal relationship” perspective #dabihawks to me has always been about the different perspectives they can give each other and the sides they represent in society #it honestly doesn't have to be about romance #just that a deep intense connection is present because of who they are as people #both a connection and adversity to each other #because they represent what they hate but also what they could've been #their relationship would be messy and difficult and sometimes they may even think they hate each other #but that's the thing when you yourself are so deeply messy and difficult #and overcoming what you've been through #despite seeing the worst parts of each other #is part of the appeal isn't it?#they're not meant to agree with each other #they're meant to constantly challenge each other because they showed each other what the worst of both sides looks like #dabihawks is not ideal #but I think they're in a unique place where they may be opposites #but no one else might understand them the way they can #if they just gave each other that chance #I also think that people look at this ship through an “ordinary people” lense when neither dabi or hawks are ordinary people lol #like what you like of course this is just my personal take #alien talks

SVT Jun and Wonwoo Tarot

DISCLAIMER:

✧ These are interpersonal tarot readings of seventeen members FOR FUN. These are literally just for me and I don’t expect anyone to take this seriously. Also, I don’t know everything about tarot but I know enough. These are my interpretations of the readings.

✧ When I say “relationship”, I do not mean it in a romantic way. A relationship between two people means how two or more people relate and behave towards each other. When I use the term “relationship”, I mean it in the most basic and general definition of the word.

✧ I also do these readings to practice so take them with a grain of salt. This is my hobby so if u disagree with me just know I really dgaf.

✧ Deck: The Dreamkeepers Tarot Deck by Liz Huston

Reading done on 03/07/23

Overall Relationship:

Seven of Swords

The Lovers as an elaborative card

✰ They’ve had a long term relationship with each other that has been stable all throughout (7oS). A lot of work was put into their relationship by both parties and because of this, they have a subtle but strong synergy (7oS & Lovers). There is a great amount of trust and a strong sense of unity between the two (Lovers). They’re really content with each other! Their relationship is healthy and they like where they’re at. It’s also very fruitful. They get a lot of things from each other (Lovers) and they know that if they continue what they’re doing, they’ll be subject to more fruitful rewards (7oS). They really like their friendship.

Wonwoo from Jun’s POV

rev. Knight of Wands

The Hierophant as an elaborative card

✰ Jun sees Wonwoo as a person that has a lot of passion for the world and what he’s doing but he doesn’t really have a proper outlet for all of his passion (rev KnoW). Wonwoo is sure of his work and wants to continue to break boundaries but he just needs a little guidance (rev KnoW). He also sees Wonwoo as someone who is very traditional (Hierophant). He acknowledges that Wonwoo’s personality is derived of his traditional values and his tendency to abide by the rules.

SIDE NOTE:

✯ I’m getting a very amused energy off of these cards. Does Jun find all of this amusing? I wouldn’t be shocked if that were the case considering how their natal charts interact with each other.

Jun from Wonwoo’s POV

Nine of Pentacles

Death and Page of Wands as elaborative cards

✰ Wonwoo sees Jun as someone who enjoys life and lives in the moment. He is secure in himself and is independent (9oP). He feels that the reason for this is because Jun put an end to his impatient and self-conscious attitude (Death and rev PoW). I’m getting the sense that Jun’s self-conscious and impatient attitude really burdened him so for Wonwoo to notice Jun’s transition to a more confident person means Jun’s change was quite significant!

SIDE NOTE:

✯ I think Wonwoo is very happy for him! Lots of contentment radiating from these cards.

✯ NOTES

✯ Very nice and refreshing to see that they have a strong bond and trust each other. It’s funny to see how Wonwoo presumably thinks highly of Jun and Jun finds Wonwoo’s overall existence amusing. It’s also really funny how Jun sees Wonwoo as someone very traditional LOL

✯ The energy from the cards I pulled felt very familiar and just really nice.

Finally watched Goncharov (1973) and while I’m not generally into mafia movies... the Fruit Stand Scene???!!!

THIS LIVES RENT-FREE IN MY MIND NOW.

Katya gives Sofia the apple. Sofia hands Katya the pomegranate. The Eve-Persephone parallels (women whose destinies changed irrevocably after being tricked into eating a piece of fruit) are SPECIFICALLY invoked. But the real question is, which one is which?

The framing of the scene suggests that Sofia is Eve (about to lose her sense of innocence and be inducted into the knowledge of evil), and that Katya is Persephone (trapped by a marriage that binds her forever to the (criminal) underworld). Except, that also makes no sense because we don't see them eat the fruit. How could they reap the consequences for an action they didn't actually take?

I would argue that it's not about the fruits they RECEIVE... it's about the ones they OFFER. The fruits they have already eaten, and been doomed by.

Sofia doesn't need to learn about evil. She lost her whole family. She knows enough about evil already. And Katya doesn't need to be bound to anything, when her own choices have left her so deeply entrenched.

"That’s the first lesson. Always blame the Devil for your crimes." (0:15:24)

Katya is Eve. Katya got roped into this mess a long time ago and has so many regrets now that she understands what it all means. Katya plays her piano in the room next to a murder, not because she doesn't know what's going on, but because she DOES. Katya wishes more than anything that she could turn back the clock to some idyllic time before her daughter died, before she joined the mafia, before she ever had to steal a purse or put a gun to a man's head. She tries so hard to end that cycle of violence... and it doesn't work. It was never going to work. The Apple of Eden isn't part of a cycle; it's just the beginning of the story.

"Don’t you dare speak to me about Cosenza." (1:20:41)

Sofia is Persephone. Sofia is constantly arguing that murder isn't necessary- but she also nearly drowns Katya, and shows a bizarre fascination with death when Katya threatens her with the knife. Sofia is linked to nature (the green dress, the sunset motif, the vase of flowers in her first scene) but in paltry, disconnected ways (her dress has metal buttons, the sunsets are over the city, the flowers are halfway to wilting). Sofia is part of a cycle; moments of happiness and joy, interspersed and defined by recurring instances of death and violence. Her childhood in WW2. The incident where she lost her leg. Whatever happened that made her learn how to use a gun. Her whole bloodied dynamic with Katya now. But Sofia CAN escape... for a time. She can walk away from the violence and have her summer in the sunlight. At least until tragedy strikes again.

Which makes the ending of the movie really bittersweet. Sofia sails away on the boat (Charon's Ferry, making a reverse trip across the River Styx). And the scene closes as the first snowflakes start to fall. Winter comes to Naples, because spring follows Persephone when she leaves.

How long until she comes back?

#goncharov #haven't seen any other scorsese films so idk if he's into deep mythology takes or if i'm reading too much into this #i think a whole other essay could be written on the symbolism that happens when you start shipping them #and wondering why they were trying to SHARE the fruits #but i am not qualified to write that #katya may understand evil but i don't think she comprehends good #like girl really. shooting paolo and then yourself isn't going to break the cycle #classic revenge plot mistake #did anyone else think it was a little unclear whether she actually died or not???#i think it's more thematic if she survives but i can see the counterpoints #so maybe it was meant to be ambiguous idk #this feels like a stretch but... could her iconic scarf represent a serpent whispering into her ear?#i think there's also a lot to be read into the 'trusting your husband' sermon and why katya's really off-balance but sofia isn't #if you contrast eve-adam and persephone-hades relationships #and that's not even getting INTO the second fruit stand scene oh my is that a lot to unpack #have not reached any solid conclusions on that meta #sofia is the best character change my mind

don't ask me why i published that i guess i just want people not to talk to me that way

#You have. NO IDEA. how frustrating it is to have people tag your art as things it isn't meant to be #Characters who aren't there. Ships I didn't intend to draw but that people slap on anyway bc they're standing next to e/o #Did you know that's what keeps me from drawing xy and xxc solo?#I couldn't stop people tagging it that way if I tried and writing it in the post makes me feel rude #So I don't.#I don't see them that way and I don't draw it so I ask people not to tag it as such #+ I think it literally explains in my about but like WHO CARES?????#Who gives a fuck if one person doesn't like the thing you like!!!#Unless it's Song Lan :p

I’m kinda insecure about one of my f/o’s because, 1. He’s a teenager (and I’m an adult), and 2. He’s kind of a meme character. I’m worried people will think I ship myself with him as a joke, but I’m not. I really, really like him!

This is the Internet and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks ever.

Well that's my go to response anyway, but I do understand the hesitation, especially with a canon minor character, feels like you gotta dance around certain people for that, and it makes the whole thing feel kinda exhausting. Though I'll say, it's probably not as scary as you think it is, it's easy to fall into this hole on the internet that if you make even the slightest misstep people will scream for your head, but it's really not that bad, I promise. Maybe I'm just lucky though, or off most people's radar.

The other half though, the worry people think you're self shipping with them as a joke? Honestly, if people think that, it's probably fine all things considered? Like I get it kinda sucks not being taken seriously, kinda hurts, but at the end of the day your F/O knows you're serious, and you know you're serious, and that's what matters.

Every character is someone's unironic Fictional Other. There are people out there who'd unironically want to Marry Shrek, or Nagito Komeda, or Sans Undertale and the Oncler together. And like!!! Good For Them!!! I love that for them!!! Shrek and Sans love them back!!

So if you're comfortable with it, take a deep breath, and love loud.

#Self Ship #Proship self ship #Proselfship #Honestly I keep temping fate but like #I have Never. Not a once. Gotten a mean anon for my shit #I've gotten a handful of 'Is this real' comments that I just delete #And one DM from an artist telling me my art isn't for them (blocked instantly of course)#But other than that if you just. Mind your business and sail your own ship #It's actually really easy to avoid people who'd get on you for something silly like the age of your FO #As for the meme side I wouldn't worry too much about that #You know I have Zack Binspin Moshi Monsters on my F/O list #And yeah the first time I talked about him basically everyone in my server made fun of me for him #(I think they meant it lightheartedly)#And it kinda sucked but like #There's been an ask sitting in my ask box for a few months now #From another person who ALSO has Moshi Monsters self ships #There's always like minded people and there's always someone who'll take you at your word #I'll be one of those people for you if you'd like to tell me some day!#Until then! Do your best to Love Loudly!#And even if you can't. Even if you're still hesitating or scared. Your F/O loves you all the same #You've got this!#I believe in you!#Do Whatever You Want Forever
