#A perfect coincidence

[myth-blossom]

Treated myself to a new pair of sunglasses recently. The order came in with two cleaning cloths of different colors: black and Agent-47-tie red (purely by chance).

I smile every time I open the case. 🥰

we all know the snows’ infamous catchphrase “snow lands on top”

i’m currently rereading catching fire and i came across this part where katniss is making up a lie about hearing a forcefield, and one of the examples she uses of enhanced hearing since the capitol reconstructed her ear:

when i came back across this part i almost SCREAMED, this right here is so symbolic because it is the first instance within the 75th hunger games where katniss is taking a real instance in using the capitol, thereby also snow, against itself. she turns a skill she learned from fellow tributes into a conspiracy that can be used to turn suspicions on capitol doctors. and this THIS!!!! is the start of the sound of snow falling for the first time since dean highbottom 65 years ago. after years of a torturous reign of snow landing on top, katniss is able to plant that seed of snow hitting the ground

#i don’t know if i’m just crazy and seeing nonexistent parallels but this seems too perfect to be a coincidence #the hunger games #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #catching fire #katniss everdeen #coriolanus snow #president snow #quarter quell #dean casca highbottom #suzanne collins let me shake your hand #just absolutely brilliant

Dear Jeeaark,

I absolutely ADORE your BG3 comics, thank you so much for bringing us so much joy! There is one page that gives me particular delight–the one where Greyg learns that they must Unpineapple the Pineapple

If you’ll forgive me for being an enormous ocean geek, I couldn’t help but make an association between this realization and real-life cephalopod behavior that I think is COMPLETELY ADORABLE, especially in the context of your comic: basically, when a Vampire Squid feels threatened, it will turn its little body inside out, revealing a spiky underside meant to confuse and frighten predators

These sweeties are completely harmless detritivores, this is just like a cat poofing up to make itself seem scarier

and this behavior

is called

pineappling. :3

I know Emp can’t actually do this, but it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that it wished it could, when confronted with Feelings

UNPINEAPPLE THAT PINEAPPLE GREYG YOU CAN DO IT <3

ANYWHO have a really awesome day and thank you again for all that you do. :D

-RB

Kaveh's Drip Marketing

I have a lot to say about the connections between the Kaveh info that released today and Alhaitham (and what we know about their relationship with each other). I'm not looking at this in a romantic way necessarily, but just in how tightly knotted their characters are with one another.

First, Kaveh's title and description:

"Empyrean Reflection", or more simply, 'Heavenly Reflection'. This ties to his constellation, "Paeadisaea", which is the genus for the birds of paradise. 'Paradise' is a more general term for Heaven, but neither of these are particularly divine in nature in a deity sense. Personally, I think they might be denoting a reference to the Golden Ratio, AKA: Divine Proportion. It's a mathematic concept often used in artistry, which matches well with Kaveh's archectural design profession and his education from the Ksharewar Darshan, which is the Sumeru school of technology.

So that's what it means for Kaveh's own characterisation/lore imo, but it also links to Alhaitham. Firstly, Alhaitham's constellation is also a bird (Vultur Volans, or essentially 'vulture' even though his name means hawk), which is a nice match to Kaveh's birds of paradise. But more interestingly, this is what Alhaitham's Character Story 4 has to say about why he lets Kaveh live with him:

He views Kaveh as a "mirror". What is Kaveh's title again? "Empyrean Reflection".

And the mirroring is all over the place. Here's a section from Alhaitham's drip marketing from December:

He is

Largely unknown

Only puts in the minimum effort required to do his job

People don't pay attention to him

In contrast, here is a corresponding section that came out with Kaveh's drip today:

He is

Extremely well known

Incredibly hardworking

People pay attention to him even when he isn't asking for it, as a by-product of his career

Basically exact opposites; complete mirrors. Here's something else, first from the end of Alhaitham's description and then second from the end of Kaveh's:

Alhaitham's life is super comfortable, ideal in every way he desires. Meanwhile Kaveh is practically crippled by anxiety, made uncomfortable by his life circumstances. The wording itself is mirrored!

Ofc, Kaveh and Alhaitham provide one another's corresponding quotes in the drip marketing. Here is what Kaveh has to say about Alhaitham:

This is an amusing quote, basically a backhanded compliment of "oh he's very smart but he's too self-centred so his talents are made worthless since he never uses them to help others". Alhaitham's quote about Kaveh goes like this:

Alhaitham is a little more wordy so I'll simplify -

Talented people have a lot of outside pressure on them, which can be a burden

However, letting other people get you down is a character flaw, not an inherent part of being talented

Kaveh disagrees

Once again talking about an individual's talents and how worthwhile they are in the context of a society. Where Kaveh complains that Alhaitham can never accomplish anything worthwhile with his skills because he doesn't take other people into account, Alhaitham argues that Kaveh gets nothing done as a consequence of listening too much to other people's expectations. It's not surprising, then, that Kaveh is bankrupt but successful and Alhaitham is comfortable but unknown.

It's like - can these two stop talking about each other for five minutes? Anyway, this post turned out to be more of a collection of Kavetham quotes, but I think it's hard not to draw comparisons. I'm looking forward to seeing Kaveh's actual voicelines if there's this much material just from one marketing post lol

#alhaitham #kaveh #genshin impact #al haitham #kavetham #haikaveh #drip marketing #theory? #analysis #i love these two #idk if Kaveh's title being reflection is supposed to relate to Alhaitham's whole mirror thinh #which BTW Alhaitham's whole kit is about maintaining as many mirrors as possible #like what babe you need your bf? #anyway #this much cannot be a coincidence #and while it's certainly not inherently romantic #there is something to be said for the intimacy of being your roommate's perfect reflection

okay fine i’ll bring back the egg. sorry for the pun but i’ve been sitting on this for a while because i can’t decide what to name them

(thinking they/he???)

they love being warm and must be approximately as snug as a bug in a rug at all times <3

didn’t give much context before but we’re going with that the egg was abandoned in winter horns and recovered by a group of waddle explorers

there wasn’t a lot of (known) writing on dedede’s species so figuring out what to do from there was kinda hard and they didn’t really know anything for certain, but between a little research, a gut feeling, and dedede and mk already used to Parenting, they passed the egg onto them to look after and well. yeah

it was definitely a rollercoaster for dedede, to be given hope that there were others like him after all - so it was only natural he’d take it very seriously. he spends a lot of time with them and they’re very clingy because of it. he says they’re like a duckling

being so big also comes with problems because as clingy as they are, they outgrew being able to be held by other people pretty fast lol

“meta pls stop looking like ur gonna punt our kid”

anyway i guess i’ll introduce the other kid next? between the two of them uhh dedede had a very tiring few years. stay at home dad problems i guess. on top of being a king lol

he probably realized how grateful he was that kirby was so independent lol..

the real enemy is everyone (meta especially) having a busy schedule

#kirbyposting #i love getting carried away on ideas that were supposed to be small /gen #my art or something #meta knight #king dedede #metadede #how do you tag for fankids and ocs?? i have no idea #kirby oc #semi future au #omg oldee is in this post #if anyone has name ideas feel free to share #i couldn’t really strike a balance and find smth i liked #posting this for Wednesday because im not very impressed with it #so #happy cringe day Wednesday #i guess it’s kinda inherently uninteresting because they only really exist for a narrative #nothing new is being done here lol #buuuut since there’s a larger idea tied to this i feel i need to introduce them #and anyway! who cares if it’s interesting! two cakes or something #ill try to have the other post out soon I just wanted to save this for a wednesday #dedede is very tired in these doodles and i promise it’s just a coincidence lol #he might not be doing perfect but he’s doing good #and yes i am still avoiding redesigning him #bandee cameo wowie..

Image 1: Lyrics that read "Black hole opened in the kitchen / Every clock's a different time / It would only take the energy to fix it / I don't know why I am"

Image 2: A quote that reads: "I don't know who I am. Everything I do feels like a lie. I wake up every day and I have to be Jimmy Kaga-Ricci, this famous guy, and I have to smile at the camera and say hi to people but... I don't even know who I am underneath that."

Image 3: A quote that reads: "it is true that i wished to escape; and so i wish still; is nor this lawful for all prisoners?"

Image 4: Lyrics that read: "The way I am / Not strong enough to be your man / I tried, I can't / Stop staring at the ceiling fan and / Spinning out about things that haven't happened / Breathing in and out

Image 5: A quote that reads: "And then we are turning away, and walking behind the curtain and my smile can drop and once we're totally out of sight Rowan is squeezing my hand but I'm gone, I'm already gone, I'm up above the three of us and gazing down at the three bodies and wondering who on Earth decided that these three pathetically flawed human beings deserved so much worship."

Image 6: A quote that reads "hold the crucifix up before my eyes so i may see it until i die."

Image 7: Lyrics that read: "The way I am / Not strong enough to be your man / I lied, I am / Just lowering your expectations / Half a mind that keeps the other second-guessing / Close my eyes and count

Image 8: "A quote that reads: "Everywhere I go, everything I do... I'm lying. I'm pretending. And everyone's watching me... waiting for me to get it wrong."

Image 9: Lyrics that read: "Always and angel, never a god / Always an angel, never a god / Always an angel, never a god"

Image 10: A quote that reads: "He's my favourite. Jimmy Kaga-Ricci. I wouldn't say I was attracted to him, to any of them, really. That's not what this is about. But God, if anyone's the angel around here, it's him."

Image 11: Lyrics that read: "I don't know why I am the way I am / There's something in the static / I think I've been having revelations / Coming to in the front seat, nearly empty / Skip the exit and go home / Go home alone"

Image 12: A quote that reads: "Home?' 'I want to go home.' 'Like... like your apartment?' 'No,' I say. 'Home. My actual home. Where I grew up.'

Image 13: A quote that reads: "i was in my thirteenth year when i heard a voice from god"

Gonna be listening to Evanescence for the foreseeable future. Talk about fitting music.

I still find it so sick how Fukuchi went to Akutagawa and was like "join the Hunting Dogs, be my subordinate", and after Akutagawa refused Fukuchi just hijacked his body and mind and used him as a weapon against his will

The first time he received an offer to be mentored, Dazai basically said it's all up to him whether he would join or not and that there would be no consequences if he refused. Aku joining the Port Mafia was his choice, unlike him becoming Fukuchi's mindless vampire.

And we know from Mori in chapter 37 that it's common for Akutagawa to go off and do his own thing, even without explicit orders. Even if he has higher-ups to answer to, he still had a certain amount of freedom in the Port Mafia:

Agency is really important to Akutagawa. It's SO twisted that Fukuchi took that away from him

#it's also really sick and twisted that the first thing we see Fukuchi order him to do is attack Jouno #i believe he was already planning ahead in case Jouno betrayed him #because is it really a coincidence that aku's ability is the perfect counter to jouno's ability? #the offer to join the Hunting Dogs was a lie to begin with #Aku needs to snap out of vampire mode and be okay again PLEASE #bsd #bungou stray dogs #akutagawa ryuunosuke #bungo stray dogs #bsd akutagawa #my post #bsd spoilers
