Me: okay that short little vegaspete oneshot I wrote on a whim got a lot of positive feedback and is one of my highest performing fics. Time to go back to my other wips. Maybe I'll finish up that angsty KimChay fic, or the Royal AU, or the kp x aftg crossover, or finally write some Arm/Tankhun, or maybe-

My brain: write more vegaspete

Me: but I just did? And I've been wanting to write these others for-

My brain: this time make it about that Oscar Wilde quote "love is a sacrament meant to be taken kneeling" except use the original intended meaning about an act love is being given a small act of compassion when you're in a vulnerable state AND make it about the common modern misinterpretation that the quote is talking about blowjobs.

Me: ......... fuck okay *opens new doc*

Finding the Theme

+Between The Lines:  Between the lines is a phrase that is usually referred to when reading, to read between the lines means to understand the implicit meaning in a written communication, a spoken communication or a situation. The implicit meaning is the meaning which is not directly expressed. The idiom read between the lines is most probably derived from a cryptography practice where the true meaning of a communication was contained in between the lines written in a letter. See also, or to infer something, to try to understand what is meant by something that is not written explicitly or openly. After listening to what they said, if you read between the lines, you can begin to see what they really means. This expression derives from a simple form of cryptography, in which a hidden meaning was conveyed by secreting it between lines of text.  When making an inference, you are using background and observation to reach a logical conclusion. In literature, we use inference to find an intended meaning and what we think the author is trying to teach us. We have often been told that the left hemisphere of the brain is the analytic, mathematical, logical, which is in charge of reasoning. we are picking apart the writing and gathering evidence to create an idea and invert one and this is reading between the lines quite clearly using are left hemisphere of the brain, the right hemisphere of the brain is primarily used for emotion and creative ide as therefore it's fairly obvious that to read between the lines this is not the part of the brain that would be necessary. The corpus callosum allows the two hemispheres to communicate with each other and allows for information being processed on one side of the brain to be shared with the other side. Normally, we are not aware of the different roles that our two hemispheres play in day-to-day functions, hidden information but vital to something to read between the lines or to infer is a natural ability of all of humanity that are trained into nowadays as a lot of language used and it's almost a defensive mechanism today to infer and understand what people mean it also can create better communication and conversation between two characters creating a more informed and intelligent character. Looking into some imagery on the phrase between the lines there is a lot of typography Sharon as imagery to represent this idea.

After looking at a few pieces of typography I began to think what lines actually can mean what they can represent what they can produce and I have seen several pieces aware that someone has created different objects out of lines and how they can bend and represent something else, I then began a search for more imagery but focusing more on objects and less typography because I know no I'm typography is something that I'm not particularly interested in I believe it's just a little too easy and and not my style of art. Let's be honest with a theme of between the lines it is going to refer to a lot of reading and a lot of typography however I believe I may have found a new style that can involve the theme of read between the lines and completely sore out of the idea of typography. this type of line work I feel is very mysterious and creates a lot of movement and bounce almost the lines acting like strings that act as if it's almost a net sheeting a figure of some sort with itself creating each bounce each vibration and each movement that they have within themselves, advising it bizarre how the plane lines can create such movement and texture and life within.

Generating a few more ideas I have looked into synonyms and what other ideas are generated from the phrase between lines it was quite interesting how the same word but put differently can infuse the brain and generate more ideas, it also has engaged me more into the idea of using the theme between the lines because giving me a deeper understanding each word that has been produced into the mind map below.

Surface: A surface, as the term is most generally used, is the outermost or uppermost layer of a physical object or space.  It is the portion or region of the object that can first be perceived by an observer using the senses of sight and touch, and is the portion with which other materials first interact. The concept of surface has been abstracted and formalized in mathematics, specifically in geometry. Depending on the properties on which the emphasis is given, there are several non equivalent such formalizations, that are all called surface, sometimes with some qualifier, such as algebraic surface, smooth surface or fractal surface. The idea of the surface area interacts with our senses communicating with mostly touch and view. It is a continuous set of points that has length and breadth but no thickness. As a verb it can be used as to rise or come up to the surface of the water or the ground or maybe come to people's attention; become apparent. Surface area impact is the reaction rate of surface area reactants, transforming these into powder. This can result in dangerous combustible powders, such as custard powder. If you think about the surface area of the earth it is horrific sometimes the impact that it can have on us the pure and shear power that it can produce which is devastating and completely overthrowing of the whole human race, impact that can be made by simple surface areas combining other elements of science, for example 65 million years ago the gigantic lizards roamed the earth named dinosaurs and the whole kingdom of this species was completely wiped out by the impact of a meteorite plummeting towards the surface of the earth the impact of the surface of the meteorite on surface of the earth completely wiped out the dinosaurs completely in a giganotosaurus events caused by this single one devastating completely changing it. This is simply one example of how surface areas colliding can completely rotate the tables and change time. If you think about the surface areas of other things I often believe that the surface area is almost like a lie,if you take fruits and berries for example in Britain there are red berries which are in edible and poisonous however they look like any other Barry that we may be able to eat creating a false sense of security and and wearing the mind in. More than likely the surface area doesn't usually matter it is what is beyond the surface area that truly matters, this is a bit of a cheesy quote but it is what is inside that counts, this quote is usually referred to when talking about humans and their personality instead of their looks. However there are many quotes that I like this for example don't judge a book by its cover I wish you could take literally for the surface area of a book has a front cover and if you don't think you'll like it why you still may like literature that is written inside however many take it to be very genuine and free with what it could mean it is a metaphor and and could refer to anything. Surface areas usually have a reason though for example defense. Another example is the armadillo his surface area and his back is as hard as rock he has no no nerve cells in it and therefore we can't feel any pain in it, at least that is on the outside of it however once you get beyond that of course like every other animal he has flesh skin and blood, his hardback outer shell even protect him from predators.

This is some imagery that I have managed to collect that represents and reminds me of of the idea of surface, the doors in particularly represents a different view of things, restore the white this door represents arrive of sunshine and light inside however it is only the entrance of a room the outside and the crust of what the room can hold. I think the door is a great example of a a idea of surface. However looking into the idea of paint and covering something creating a different image then got me thinking about the idea of makeup. The wild of makeup as vastly grown,  Special effects make-up is the term used for the team who are applying the pre-made prosthetics or smaller on-skin effects. This type of make-up can include creating the appearance of things like wounds, scars and wrinkles for ageing effects applied directly onto the skin. Applying this to one face create a new image and therefore a new appearance leading to a new surface area leaves us some examples of imagery that I've been able to collect that show the complete change.

Generating a few more ideas I have looked into synonyms and what other ideas are generated from surface it was quite interesting how the same word but put differently can infuse the brain and generate more ideas, it also has engaged me more into the idea of using the theme surface because giving me a deeper understanding each word that has been produced into the mind map below. And the inspiration that I have been given a by the imagery above is quite unique to its qualities.

Repetition is the simple repeating of a word, within a short space of words this can be including a poem, with no particular placement of the words to secure emphasis. The action of repeating something that has already been said or written or perhaps the recurrence of an action or event can create such a strong sense of exorcism because it's not only clarifying an idea but then reinstating it back into the mind only seconds later so it's strong in their memory. A thing repeated, that's all it is. Used as used in literature for the ideal purpose of emphasism creating a clearer idea of the power of the word and engaging the audience and reader even more creating at the word to be more memorable and therefore may be creating the character to be. There are several types of repetition commonly used in both prose and poetry. As a rhetorical device, it could be a word, a phrase, or a full sentence, or a poetical line repeated to emphasize its significance in the entire text. Repetition is not distinguished solely as a figure of speech, but more as a rhetorical device. It is a multilinguistic written or spoken device, frequently used in English and several other languages, such as Hindi and Chinese, and so rarely termed a figure of speech. In rhetoric, antimetabole  is the repetition of words in successive clauses, but in transposed order It is related to, and sometimes considered a special case of, chiasmus. The  tautology Superfluous repetition of the same sense in different words then there is Atanaclasis is the repetition of a word or phrase to effect a different meaning. Conduplicatio is the repetition of a word in various places throughout a paragraph. Mesodiplosis is the repetition of a word or phrase at the middle of every clause. There are at least 13 different types of repetition in the literature world I've only named a few. However it is not in literature turns up there is only repetition unfortunately people with a stutter tend to use a lot of repetition. also called stammering or childhood-onset fluency disorder is a speech disorder that involves frequent and significant problems with normal fluency and flow of speech. People who stutter know what they want to say, but have difficulty saying it. For example, they may repeat or prolong a word, a syllable, or a consonant or vowel sound. I find this speech disorder really hits me hard and because it is completely unfortunate that a lot of people market and that someone who can speak has such difficulty actually communicating. Communication is the human world  and we all need it. has someone to not be able to get their words out and communicate is almost a strength of being trapped inside yourself. Possible causes of developmental stuttering include abnormalities in speech motor control. Some evidence indicates that abnormalities in speech motor control, such as timing, sensory and motor coordination, may be involved. Stuttering tends to run in families. It appears that stuttering can result from inherited (genetic) abnormalities.

If I am perfectly honest in none of the imagery that I found I was particularly impressed or affected by any of the artwork I found that in photography it was slightly more impressive however still incredibly predictable, predictable is something that I do not want to be. However it was interesting to find that the work Andy Warhol came into this category and I suppose he would with his designs that he would explore the same the way that the use the idea of the mirror to create an ongoing repetition of one another. The idea of the same idea being repeated again and again and nothing new is just too boring and gave me no inspiration. Maybe like if I looked into typography like I did with the the phrase between the lines I would have more of a variety of imagery however like I have mentioned previously typography is not an area that I'm particularly interested in.

Generating a few more ideas I have looked into synonyms and what other ideas are generated from Repetition it was quite interesting how the same word but put differently can infuse the brain and generate more ideas, it also has engaged me more into the idea of using the theme Repetition because giving me a deeper understanding each word that has been produced into the mind map below. 

Historical source/ reference from 1920s:  Historical source also known as historical material or historical data, is original source that contain important historical information. These sources are something that inform us about history at the most basic level, and these sources used as clues in order to study history. To discover factual information about the historical world there is a detailed investigation where historians collect information from primary research and secondary. Primary sources of history include newspapers, books, and letters from the time period being studied as well as artifacts like artwork and tools, and generally help create the secondary sources. Secondary sources were created by someone who did not experience firsthand or participate in the events or conditions you’re researching. Historians use primary sources as the raw evidence to analyze and interpret the past. They publish secondary sources-often scholarly articles or books-that explain their interpretation. When you write a historical research paper, you are creating a secondary source based on your own analysis of primary source material. Secondary sources were created by someone who did not experience firsthand or participate in the events or conditions you’re researching. going back historical as definition means of or concerning history or past events, belonging to the past or  based on an analysis of its development over a period. Sources defined as a place, person, or thing from which something originates or can be obtained,  a body or process by which energy or a particular component enters a system. The opposite of sink. And then looking into the 1920s, The Roaring Twenties refers to the decade of the 1920s in Western society and Western culture. It was a period of economic prosperity with a distinctive cultural edge in the United States and Europe, particularly in major cities such as Berlin, Chicago, London, Los Angeles, New York City, Paris, and Sydney. The decade beginning with 1920 in the United States is commonly referred to as the Roaring Twenties because it was a time of extreme and often excessive celebration and advancement. However, the 1920s was much more than that. It was the decade that bought dramatic social and political change, flare and freedom to women, and advances in science and technology. Here are some key events that defined the Roaring Twenties. The Roaring Twenties kicked off with two significant amendments to the U.S. Constitution. 10 World-Shaping Events That Happened in 1920,  The League of Nations was established. In an address to Congress in 1919, President Woodrow Wilson presented what he called the “Fourteen … And then  America had a de-facto woman president. Jazz is a perfect way to describe the carefree vibe of the 20s. One of the best musical fun facts about the 20s is that this decade was also known as the “Age of Jazz.” The pioneer of the new style of music was Louis Armstrong. Jazz became the music of choice in the popular (but illegal – the 1920s was also the Age of Prohibition) speakeasies of the day. Hence, the older generation saw the Jazz genre as a representation of the sinful decadence of the Twenties. Thankfully, that misrepresentation has since been forgotten and Jazz is now considered to be one of America’s most monumental cultural achievements. 1920s fact we can all be proud of is that the decade saw significant improvements in women’s rights. This was the decade when the 19th Amendment was ratified, officially giving American women the right to vote. This coincided with an increasing sense of independence among women in the country, many of whom held jobs and were much more daring in their fashion sense.

This appears to be a very bright and colourful time for racing colours cascading in a college and erupting from center. Looking at different types of imagery that have been produced from the 1920s I find that there is a lot of gold and and warm fluorescent yellow that a bounce out and and claim the audiences eye. In this first collage of imagery that I've created there is a portrait of a woman. I've seen several of these throughout my own lifetime and then began to look deeper into that idea of portraits. During this time the portraits of mainly of women in their prerogative jazzy clothing that conquered the idea of the time. If you look below there are some more portraitsall dressed rather similarly however the biggest similarity is each and every one of them has red lipstick on, a true indication that they are definitely or from the same era. 

Generating a few more ideas I have looked into synonyms and what other ideas are generated from Historical source/ reference from 1920s it was quite interesting how the same word but put differently can infuse the brain and generate more ideas, it also has engaged me more into the idea of using the theme Historical source/ reference from 1920s because giving me a deeper understanding each word that has been produced into the mind map below. And the inspiration that I have been given a by the imagery above is quite unique to its qualities. 

Daily reflection: 

Today I once again continue researching at my 10 concept ideas and completed all 10 of my words. I also was able to complete my first study group session discussing all 10 of my words and concepts that I want to further engage and has completely helped me with some ideas to further refine my research. From this study group I've discovered out of the words that I have chosen today that I would like to look into to the idea of historical source/reference from the 1920s because I could look into for example the acceptance of black music. This is such a broad subject and and it would be nice to further look into it and see what other pieces of imagery in inspiration I can gain from it. I also believe I'm going to use the word surface and further develop my research on this word because I feel that I could developed quite a bit more inspiration from this idea it also relates to what I have included in my study group about the idea of my interior and exterior inspiration it's quite strong and I can still gain some inspiration from those ideas.

Immortality

The concept of Immortality for a being such as Aurelion is a vastly different one to that such as Tahm Kench or any other Runeterran ‘immortal’. You see, immortal means exactly what it says on the tin however can be achieved in many different ways. Yet most Runeterran forms of immortality are linked in themselves to, well, Runeterra. If there was no Runeterra then many of the so called creatures that were immortal there, well they won’t be able to exist. Or would they float endlessly in space if Runeterra was to be destroyed? Either way, it doesn’t matter. 

You see, nothing is truly immortal in the Runeterran universe. No, this is true I’m being serious, not even Aurelion. Magic is wild and bends the rules you see, enough magic and you can perform amazing deeds. Yet Celestial’s use their own form of magic that only Celestial’s and a select few others can tap into (see Soraka). Celestial magic is even more wild, it’s like a more pure form of Runeterran magic. Yet lots of Celestial’s are made from this magic without a physical form.  When Bard dies some kind of energy evaporates from him and he crumples, revealing the shell of his clothes. So was it just the Celestial magic inside? When he dies in League the magic just evaporates or moves on to wherever. 

See Aurelion is no different. When you look at him he’s a creature that’s ethereal, all the way to the crown, he becomes more corporeal as you get closer to his head, this is because he’s as much a Celestial being as Bard is. Aurelion is made from Celestial magic and this is what leads to his immortality. A large amount of Runeterran magic can destroy Aurelion’s form, it’d take less Celestial magic to achieve this too. 

Now moving on slightly, one of Aurelion’s quotes is  "Each star is one of my hearts." - now this is interesting. It could just be Aurelion being soppy for the stars, or it could be something else. I believe he uses his Celestial magic to create the stars, they are literally a small part of him, thus are his ‘hearts’. OK, this is odd now but there’s also this: 

"With a lifespan as comically brief as yours, I suppose I can allow you to taste triumph at least once."

"Ah, the joys of lesser organisms rising up to slay their betters! If only they were aware of the impermanence of being... or the permanence of me."

OK so hear me out. He allows them to triumph, in this case, in league terms he is allowing himself to be killed is how he sees it. Yet if he can’t be killed then how could he allow them to do such a thing. That was weirdly worded but you get my point - Moving on, Aurelion is a proud being, he’s certainly one that enjoys being everlasting. He does not simply let a creature kill him if he has no way of coming back. This suggests that even if his body IS destroyed, he comes back. 

It’s as simple as, he’s linked to the stars. 

If his body is destroyed he can reform, and he will do so as long as the stars exist. This also shows why he may hate the void, an entire universe of creatures that can destroy his stars. They actually threaten his existence, they scare him in someways that nothing else ever has. Nothing else has ever come close to threatening him. Upon Aurelion’s death ingame he merely fades into a load of stars, could just be a pretty effect, or could foreshadow his return ;)

//I know I’m meant to be working on the modern human Aurelion but this was gnawing at me to write. PLEASE get in contact with me and tell me what you think of it. I want to flesh out the Celestial’s more and work on my Aurelion’s background and basis for his powers. So please, C&C welcome!
