Fatui Harbingers +Tsaritsa x Fairy Reader Brainrot. Feel free to use this in anyway tbh.

TW! Cussing, mentions of murder, yandere, guilt tripping, gaslighting, like omg.

Ok, so Childe finds a mysterious flower in the wild. Snezhnaya to be specific.

Boi would be confused like 'Why tf is there a flower in the snow and how is it alive??' just yanks it out, places it in his jacket and goes back to plant it.

Brings it everywhere since it gave him luck. Like, he surprisingly didn't get nagged by his mom when he visited, his workload was smol, and he def didn't get a punishment when he summoned Osial.

Brings the dang flower(aka you, but unborn) everywhere. EVEN TO HARBINGER MEETINGS.

So one day, the flower glows and blooms.

Yey, you're born now, everyone is in shock, when you spread your wings and smile.

You're so confused like 'who is you?' And 'where tf am I?'

The Tsaritsa is speechless, she loves cute and adorable things and there's you.

----------------------------------------------------------

"I guess it's not just a flower..?" Childe smiles nervously. Looking at your confused, but happy face as you rub his finger on your head, nearly makes him go through a heart attack.

"What a lovely specimen!" Il Dottore, smiles creepily.

"What a lovely tune she makes!~" The sing song voice adds.

"Never in my life have I seen such an interesting creature such as this." Pierro says surprised by you.

"Let's keep an eye on the creature and see if anything happens." The Tsaritsa holds back on taking you for herself like she is making plans to have you already.

----------------------------------------------------------

They spoil you like crazy.

Colombina buys you a big ass dollhouse, Pantalone buys custom miniature clothes, Dottore gives you miniature laboratory stuff, Childe gives you miniature utensils and stuff, Arlecchino is buying miniature weapons cuz why not?

They pet you 24/7, there is no stopping the petting especially when you lean your head to their finger.

Your wings help you fly around and about, sometimes you bring some things...

"Lil Fairy what the fuck?!"

You brought a goddamn knife.

Your just like(•;∆;•) 'Was I not good?' and a sad face that gives them heavy guilt on their hearts.

You tear up and all hell breaks loose. The Tsaritsa takes you and you get close to her.

You give them silent treatment if they do something you don't like.

For example, when Childe took the knife you had as he scolded you.

He never did it again, nor will he ever do it in the future.

A big ass ball arrives and the visitors see you, on the Tsaritsa' shoulder, happily munching on some (favourite food) and (favourite drink)

The shock is unmeasurable.

An assassin comes, sees you and changes his life goals. He decided to take you.

Oh boy was that messy...

Let's just say your 'guardians' aka Harbingers 'talked' to him about it.

La Siñora didn't go to Inazuma since Scaramouche took the dang electro gnosis and gave it to you. So we're the others but meh.

You play with the gnosis not knowing its value.

Dress up with the Female Harbingers is a definite YES.

One day in a meeting...

----------------------------------------------------------

"Y-y/n!" You say, all eyes are on you now.

"What was that lil Fairy?" Pulcinella asks.

"My name is Y/n!" You exclaim loudly, they obviously don't know what happens.

"That's a lovely name... Y/n.." The Tsaritsa nods.

A bright ass light glows on their wrist, and a symbol appears.

"When a Fairy says their name, they are bound to those people and share their power and knowledge to those who know their name." You say it so casually.

"It also means that I trust you all very much to tell you my true name, so don't forget that!" You giggle and their hearts are basically in your smol tiny hands.

They all smile smirk as the thought of you staying with them forever and never leaving them like they would even let you.

"What an honour, what do these powers and knowledge do you mean?" Dottore asks curiously.

"Powers... uhh, immense luck, strength boost, speed boost, regeneration, Physical Damage is increased, Elemental Damage increased, Elemental Resistance is Increased, Physical Resistance is Increased. As for knowledge, basically anything I know in Teyvat whether past present or future. Forgot to mention I can grant 11 wishes." You say out of breath, like that's a lot.

"My goodness, what a blessing to have~" Pantalone smiles at you.

"But y/n, did you have other people that you were bound to in the past?" Arlecchino asks.

"Yeah, some good and some bad-"

"Who hurt you?" Scaramouche asks, seems like he has some pests to take care of.

"Hmn.. Well there's ______, ____...." You say the names of your previous masters, if they were still alive, they won't be for long lmao.

The Tsaritsa whispers something to the first Harbinger. "Kill the bitches."

----------------------------------------------------------

Oh no, someone hurt you? Oops! My knife slipped and went through their arteries and they bled out and died a slow and painful death!

Who? They're already six feet underground buried alive! You don't know they're alive tho-

Really? Oh dear, was their successful business shut down?

So yeah, basically are your guardians, don't tell them about your love life tho-

----------------------------------------------------------

"..Childe..?" You say flushed and embarrassed, you could actually grow in size, but you saved your strength and stayed smol and cute.

"Yes lil Fairy?" He asks, his nickname never left you.

"Uhh.. how do I confess-" here it comes-

"Are you that in love with someone that you want to leave us?"

They fucking guilt trip you.

"Oh..? Y/n, I thought you loved us very much..?" Pantalone drops his smile, oh shit.

"It's not like that at all!" Oh poor lil you, not knowing how happy they were...

"So why..?-"

"I wanted to know how to confess to someone and tell them I don't feel the same way romantically!" You blurt out.

----------------------------------------------------------

You're never gonna even bring the topic up again. Ever.

Like dang they used all types of affection manipulation on you so you could stay with them forever.

PT 2 coming soon!

Flower Symbolism in Trigun

Okay so I've been going insane in the last few hours since the new episode of Stampede and I needed to share my very incoherent thoughts.

So here we go: (please excuse my grammar, I'm typing this up in an absolute craze)

Please note, there are major spoilers here

[Plant in context to Trigun will be capitalized btw]

I want to start off by pointing out the whole idea with calling the creatures that Vash and Knives are as 'Plants' and 'seeds' in the first place--that in itself is so much. Not to mention Noman's Land is a desert plant with little to no flora at all.

The idea and symbolism of life and rebirth presented with the idea of plants. Like how flora are usually the first type of lifeform to come back post mass extinction events. How plants are primary producers in the food chain, how life couldn't be sustained without plants giving up oxygen, food, and converting the sunlight into energy/sugar. Despite being giant moth flower humanoid creatures, the Plants in Trigun are doing essentially the same thing. Except they aren't renewable and they might also be sentient.

In addition to that, in media, seeds are usually a representation of hope. And in this case, a seed pod carrying the hope of humanity. I've been likening it to dandelion seeds. I don't think our group of guys were the only space-fairing fleet that was sent out from Earth.

I don't know how much of this symbolism is intentional and how much of it is completely accidental, but boy howdy is it there and am I going to eat it up.

Geraniums!

First off, the most obvious one is geraniums. The flower is very much thrown into our faces. What does it mean?

Okay so there's like 400 types of geraniums out there, they're not like a specific species- and when people say 'geraniums' it usually also includes pelargoniums which are a different genus. But you're not here for me to monologue about flower classification-

Well, operating under the assumption they're using the most common type of red geranium, which, funnily enough is not a geranium but rather a pelargonium. Pelargonium x hortorum. Commonly known as zonal geraniums or garden geraniums. I don’t know if I even need to expand on the idea that Vash and his story (and the Plants in general) are represented by geraniums. If the red coat wasn’t already a giveaway, I think the newest episode definitely makes it very clear. Well, first off I think it's interesting that they’re not ‘true geraniums’ (different genus, same family). Like how Vash and Knives look human but aren’t ‘true humans’.

(Did you know geraniums can reproduce asexually via their roots by just…sprouting a new plant? It’s called clonality. Anyways yeah, I’m too lazy to expand on it but there it is. You can probably see the connection I'm trying to draw here)

Furthermore, let’s look a little bit into what geraniums represent. So according to the vast knowledge of the interwebs (I will put the links I used at the bottom.) geraniums are “attributed the powers of love, peace, healing, elegance and spirituality. They mostly have desirable symbolizing meanings, including fertility, health, joy, protection, frustrations passing away, and true friendship.” Red geraniums in particular are attributed to protection and ward against evil., spiritual beings and saints. “The geranium flower was a symbol of prosperity in Egypt, longevity in Japan, and immortality in China”. *Stares at Vash and Knives*. Gods…immortality…saints. Alright Nightow, I see you.

Look, I’m not done here. DURING THE VICTORIAN ERA geranium took on a slightly more negative meaning. Envy, deceit, folly, foolishness and stupidity. Although they were also seen “as ‘horticultural bourgeoisie’ and a sign of ‘crudeness and thoughtlessness of taste’. Geranium became a symbol of industrial mass culture.” This was probably unintentional (and if it is intentional, holy fuck.) but the idea that Earth in Trigun was destroyed by the folly of humans because if mass industrialization? Hello???? OKAY.

There’s just so much history with geraniums. I’m STILL not done. Let’s talk a little about geraniums and Christianity, yeah? You know, the thing that Trigun is chock full of symbolism of.

So first off, tradition. (I am not Christian, nor do I know much about Christianity, I just did some research on the topic so feel free to correct me.) I do believe there is a tradition to buy and gift red geranium on Good Friday? (I can’t find a very credible source about this, just some blog posts so idk) And the red is to represent the blood that Jesus sacrificed for the people. How he was beaten and bloodied because of his love for the people. How…he was given a purple cloak that turned dark with blood while he was mocked.

Sound familiar?

Do we want to talk about Vash’s red coat turning black in the latest episode? Or maybe how traditionally dying Plants are red and healthy ones are blue? But Vash keeps himself covered in red?

Now, here’s an interesting fact. Did you know, wild geraniums look very different from the ones people like to commonly grow in their gardens? This is the spotted cranesbill (Geranium maculatum), the most common wild geranium. Look, maybe I’m stretching it here, but cultivated Plants vs independent Plants, anybody?

Anywho, not the point I was trying to make. Did you know another common wild geranium is called the Saint Robert’s Geranium? Robert’s? While no one really knows who the ‘Saint Robert’ the flower is named after, it has a very fun symbolism. Check this. The seed pod of this flower supposedly looks like the beak of a stork, which had people believe that they could help a couple who wish for children with fertility when used as an amulet and placed under the bed. cough Ep 11 pregnancy scene cough. Apparently, medicinally they’re also used to staunch blood flow from wounds. Despite that, in certain regions, it was seen as an ill-omen plant associated with death because snakes would often hide in its leaves. Snakes? Like…in Adam and Eve? Like as in temptation? As in Knives and Vash?

Okay last bit on geraniums. Just a little on the colors. In episode 11 of Stampede we see the giant plant root monster thing blooming flowers. I have assumed that they are black geraniums, aka Geranium Phaeum

aka mourning widows. Of course, I could be wildly wrong but the meaning of this is fun so hear me out. While there doesn’t seem to be a direct meaning for black geraniums, we can clearly draw some conclusions on the common name for this flower. Like seriously, mourning widow? They’re also known as dusky cranesbill and black widow. Obviously associated with death (and grief?) and apparently maybe marriage??? Doesn’t help that geraniums can be considered a traditional bridal flower too. I think they’re also associated with melancholy. Anyways, on the other hand, blue blooms usually symbolize calm and peace while purple blooms symbolize royalty, accomplishments and admiration.

So in context to the blooms we see at the end of ep 11, grieving for the loss of someone (Rem, his memories), rising to his Plant roots (haha get it?) and being ‘at peace’.

HEY LET'S TALK ABOUT DOGWOOD

So I remember reading somewhere that he’s named after a singer or band or something but– His name is so close to dogwood that I could not pass it up.

Dogwood is a blooming tree that seems to have a representation in Christianity. There’s a legend about the tree and Easter. So apparently, the cross that Jesus was crucified on was made from Dogwood, because of such it was cursed and blessed. Cursed to be small so it can’t be used to make another cross but blessed to bloom beautiful flowers at Easter time.

The flowers of the Dogwood trees always bloom with four petals, like a cross, the center like a crown of thorns. Each tip of the petal is indented like it's been pierced with a nail and discolored like it was stained with blood. So goes the story.

I think it's interesting that Wolfwood’s name is so likened to this flower/plant and I don’t believe this is unintentional. LIke it’s right there. Cursed by the Eye of Michael to grow too fast, blessed to be strong and hard to kill. Is/bears the cross that brings Vash to Knives in the end.

Lilies (and other Flowers)

So, I personally think the plants look a lot like lilies. And lilies are commonly attributed to the virgin Mary. They typically represent purity, innocence and rebirth. They are often gifted at mourning flowers as well and are one of the most popular flowers at funerals.

Either that or the blue-eyed Mary flower, which has less meaning attributed to it other than its name.

Anyways, that's all my thoughts for today. Thank you for reading all the way down here if you make it hehe

If people find more flower symbolism or have thoughts please let me know, I want to hear them!!!<3

I think the thing that makes me lose my mind the most upon rewatching the episode is how...very into it Sand is the whole time?? Like, the minute he has Ray in his car HE's the one who goes all "ugh, I COULD have hooked up with someone tonight" 🙄😒 and planting the seed in Ray's mind. I wasn't sure if that line was intentional, but I am certain there's a HUGE shift in Sand's demeanor when Ray asks him if he's been hit on by men. It's almost like Sand realizes and gets confirmation like, "ohhh, so that IS where this could be going?" and from there he's also the one who asks if he's supposed to be a hooker tonight and then on top of it all, the way he says "if I'm interested, I do it for free" and giving Ray that Look after just seemed sooo pointed. Like Sand's making it very clear where he is on the whole thing but wants Ray to be the one to make the final move (which Ray 100% does deliver 😂). And he doesn't hesitate at all! When Ray leans in Sand kisses him back immediately without missing a single beat.

and then once sand makes it clear they're 'only friends', and ray kisses him the second time, they even start taking their clothes off at the same time lol. like, sand is trying to be chill about this whole thing but he wants this just as much as Ray does, I think 👀

(i hope it's okay i'm screaming about these two in your inbox 😅 these two have been living rent free in my mind and i needed to vent to someone haha!)

Oh, please scream away! None of us are sane here 😂

I don’t think there was ever a question from either of them about where things were headed. The writer said that Sand lighting Ray’s cigarette in episode one was meant to symbolize him lighting the fire of their relationship and I think everything that happened from that moment on was just very elaborate foreplay. The bigger question in my eyes is why?

Ray’s motivations are obvious. Sand showed him an ounce of kindness and he imprinted on that man so fast he should be embarrassed by it. But like you said, Sand seems to have a soft spot for Ray as well. A softer spot, quite frankly, than he probably deserves.

Why would Sand want to have a one-night stand with a spoiled rich boy who has more baggage than an airport when there are far easier targets out there? Is it about the thrill of the chase? Is it simply physical? Honestly, I don’t know.

My best guess is that Ray reminds him of someone. An ex-boyfriend, perhaps? Maybe one who drove drunk and got himself killed?

All I know for sure is that Sand is fond. He likes that Ray’s a spoiled brat. He likes that he can tease him. He likes that he teases him back. I’ve seen people say that Sand’s already in love and I don’t think we’re anywhere close to that yet, but you’re absolutely right. Sand knew exactly what would happen if he took Ray home that night and he did it anyway. He didn't even have to bribe him with a monstera!

What I'm looking forward to most about next week is watching Ray beg Sand for more. Maybe it'll humble him a little.

I REALISED I haven't put any refs of Luce here yet....... Here is my OC Hoonter in his pre-canon wear!!!

Man's got that calachuchi drip (all the more to repel beasts because it's such a strong scent)

Anyway. Luce came from the PH and was in Spain alongside the haciendero's daughter, acting as her chaperone in university. He was also allowed to take classes as a status symbol of his employer's wealth.

When he came to Yharnam for blood healing to stop the things inside him, the blood had also healed something else he didn't expect - turning his feminine form into a more bulkier, squarer fit - his face still remained very dainty, so he hides it behind a mask.

I chose the calachuchi/plumeria specifically because it's very significant to me personally - as well as how, in SEA culture, they are also called "graveyard flowers", being planted at those sites the most. They have a lovely strong scent, but for SEA people, a superstition exists that if you're smelling it out of nowhere, it means a ghost is nearby 😨 I think Luce would wear them to make the incense smell stronger, but also to signify his presence being an omen of death for beasts and criminals.

I also chose to draw eyelashes for him because 1. brown boys with eyelashes are TOP TIER and also 2. as a nod to the BB comics' iconic nonbinary hoonter with pretty eyes

#bloodborne #soulsborne #the good hunter #ocs #be funny if blood healing also acted as HRT for all the trans hoonters who want to get rid of their dysphoria

Sooooo are all the different ways the characters are tied up symbolic of how Streber has a hold on them, or is it just for cool?

I just think it's interesting Leon's only tied up by part of his leg, meanwhile Dexter is completely untangled (understandable given how unstable he is), and Ross specifically has strings around his neck

YES!!!

ill put the photos here again for anyone that didn't see my last post!

anyways rant time

Let's talk about the Hatzgang first! i had some worry in my discord server that the strings around Ross's neck represented hanging or suicide, but it does not! It represents Streber's hold on his vocal cords, which is somehow grosser honestly. Notice how his little speech bubble is all tangled, too! Streber has control over their words and what they say, they repeat what he says because hes older and cool, and obviously he must know best right? Streber uses them to get word out about something quick and easy.

Dexter! So, for those unaware, in two of the endings Kevin goes out with Dexter. One where Kevin dates him successfully, and one where Dexter murders Kevin. In neither does Kevin actually have feelings for Dexter I have a doc for the endings that i will share eventually idk

Anyways, this entire route is Streber's fault. He plants the idea in Dexter's head that he can date Kevin, gives him Kevin's number and basically pushes the snowball off the mountain, despite knowing Kevin has absolutely no feelings for him.

This is Dexter, reaching desperately for something he can't have.

Rick! Notice how Rick isn't actually tangled? Rick doesn't fall for any of Streber's manipulation, he sees right through it, but... he doesn't care. he doesn't tell anyone if he sees them falling for it, and simply does what Streber asks. He isn't entangled, he's just there.

Leon doesn't have any symbolism, i just wanted to do an upside down one

However I will say! Leon isn't as entangled as anyone else because he doesn't see Streber as much as he did before. He still believes Streber is the persona he met years ago, but Streber doesn't use him anymore. He doesn't need him.

franks doesnt have any either i just thought the idea of his van being entangled was funny

the 31 boys do steal his van in one of the endings so

thank you so much for asking!!

Just finished season 2! It was amazing. I was prepared to fast forward through most of the teen bits like I did in season 1, but I quickly got sucked in.

I liked that they showed Joe has a little bit of darkness with the flashbacks of him in high school, it sets him up the possibility he’ll be able to meet Georgia on more equal footing.

Although Georgia says “I think of everything,” I honestly believe she didn’t really see Joe that way. For her, he was a symbol of hope. He was everything she wanted for her own kid. When they meet again, she cares about him, flirts with him, and manipulates him, but I don’t think she views him as a legitimate option. Whenever they have a moment, it freaks her out. She thinks he’s too good for her and, on some level, still sees him as that boy at the rest stop. But now that he’s been honest about his feelings, and she had her strong reaction to Cynthia sleeping with him, I think a seed has been planted. Even if she insists that “love isn’t enough.”

Zion is her penguin in part because she resents him on some level for getting to have his life. He got to explore and grow up and she set him free to have that, but it makes it hard for them to be together. He has grown into the best dad though and is so good with Austin. Also, Simone is lovely and a healthy choice for him. Although I was worried when they explained she’s a criminal defense attorney....

Gil is terrifying. All the garbage he dripped in her ear about how she’s worthless spoke to her deepest fears about being trapped by her past.

She sees Paul as her knight in shining armor and she loves the idea of him and all he represents--she enjoys calling herself the mayoress--but he resents the way she’s a force. His “I won’t be disrespected in my own home” was a major warning sign for me. He loves Georgia, but her secrets horrified him (honestly, fair) and he loves his image and his political career.

Anyway, I hope they have a season 3 and that it ends with Georgia somehow getting together with Joe for keeps.

Me and my friend made a mdzs prompt in the middle of the night and it came out much cooler than i thought when i read back on it in the morning. We both write but we have zero motivation so you may use this if you like it.

Anyways, the story revolves around Nie Huaisang, Wei Wuxian, and Jiang Cheng because we want badass Caiyi Trio. Our trio was helping an old woman in her house in Caiyi but ended up in a dungeon kinda thing where they face some challenges. Those challenges being:

The gang facing a pair of undead corpse but they all just ended up being a married couple that died in the cave and looking for their daughter who was also dead somewhere in the cave. It was Wwx to suggest they listen to the corpse because he heard them cry for their daughter.

Wwx and Jc falling in a maze, a boulder chasing them (chasing, as in it has a sense of direction and actually wants to flat their ass) with nhs on a high platform. In front of him is a some sort of tablet that shows the whole architecture of the maze. Nhs ended up saving them.

And lastly, a group of rabidd wolves chasing wwx. Wwx was scared af but he wants to just yeet himself to the wolves so nhs and jc could survive but jc said fuck no and let one of the wolf bite him instead, saving wwx in the process. Later found out the wolves need them because a female wolf was having a hard time giving birth.

After all those, they came into a room full of treasure. You know the drill, wwx chooses a flute, jc a whip (it's actually supposed to be a rope but let him have his thing, and, of course, nhs with his fan.

Later, they woke up in cloud recesses.

Now this is where the fun part begins.

A few days later, Wwx just woke up and suddenly he can see ghosts. How did he find out? His parents are sitting in front of him (although they're a little bit transparent). Jc and nhs thinks he's crazy but he insisted till they believe him. Oh, he could see Lan Furen as well. (Lwj saw him drawing instead of writing his punishment but ended up seeing his mother's face in wwx's drawing. Tbf tho, wwx doesn't she's Lan Furen.)

Then Nhs can have visions. My friend suggested we should use sand (nice symbolism since nie's are like– the ground, but nhs is like a flimsy ground so he's sand lmao) as his way of seeing the future. If he'll see a vision, he would hear sand pouring. Or if he looks at sand, there's just small visions. And of course, this is how they see the future war too. However, nhs's vision is not perfect so they only see glimpse of it.

Now jc. Look at our dude just insecure an all because his brother and friends have their cool powers but he has none. Then suddenly a weed in the corner just went, "henlo:D!". Yeah. Jc talks to plants. Not just plants tho, like the whole ass nature (aka every living thing).

So yeah! The bois have different abilities and such. We based these off of what could represent them. Like Wwx is death, Nhs with time, and Jc with Nature (wanted it to be human but kinda went meh).

#mdzs #fanfic ideas #jiang wanyin #wei wuxian #nie huaisang #gonna cry #we're so normal about this #AHHHHHHH

@vostokmcclellan you have no clue what you have just unleashed within me. You reap what you sow. You have asked, and you shall DEFINITELY receive

Intoduction to C,honny jash 🔥🔥🔥 (no way fire... like from *gets shot)

CLAPS HANDS TOGETHER OKAY. OKAY. so chonny jash is this really cool singer guy song cover man on YouTube he makes some really good goddamn music and if you like tally hall, will wood, lemon demon (all other alternative/indie music creators and bands) then you MIGHT like him.

I think his most popular work/the work that gets most people invested into his music in the first place would be his album CCCC (chonny’s charming chaos compendium) which is a cover album consisting of songs that were originally from tally hall before jash took the lyrics and the music and like. Molded it to fit his ocs. That’s the best way I can describe it.

The three main characters of this album would be Heart, Mind, and Soul, and people (including me) GO ABSOLUTELY NUTS OVER THEM jash’s writing and singing and like general music skills are so good if you want to get into this album I’d seriously consider checking out his mind electric video first (the twelve minute one, it has 3 songs in total and they all do a pretty good job of introducing all three characters respectively).

Not only is the music like REALLY FUCKING GOOD the entire. Differentiation between sepereate characters based off of jash's artistic skills thing + motifs/symbolism for each one is extremely well thought out and the relationships between the three of these guys are CRAZY and TOXIC and RIVETING and bottom line SUPER GODDAMN RELATABLE to the vast majority of those in his audience. I would definitely recommend it if you enjoy concept albums/piecing together a story based off of several songs for me it was certainly an arduous process but BOY was it rewarding.

The lore/message itself is mostly up to listener interpretation but I personally like to think of that album as being centered around how valuable self acceptance is, how important communication and understanding and empathy is in a relationship, learning to break free from the bars that society cages one within, and just general dealings/causations of psychological turmoil. I think that what I like the MOST about CCCC tho is how lax/free you can be with your interpretations. it allows a LOT of space for creative liberty and overall message variation, and I like that. I like that very much.

OH and if you enjoy witty lyricism/enjoy having a bunch of allusions that you can rabbit-hole yourself into then you’ll probably like chonny jash . His stuff is like a puzzle but in video/music form. Anyway chonny jash changed my life I think everybody should listen to and look at the lyrics of one of his songs at least once in their life this shit is so good

Tergun 🤤

AND . AND TRIGUN. TRIGUN ISN’T A VIDEO GAME it’S a space western anime. Well OKAY it was originally a manga from the 90s that got adapted into an anime in the late 90s and then ANOTHER newer anime in 2023 so it’s actually just a broad term for these 3 pieces of media .

This is very general btw and while all adaptations go about it in different ways all of them center around the same plot; humans completely NERFED earth so they sent out these ships in order to find another habitable planet, and this mission is called “project seeds”. Aboard these ships are a bunch of humans put into cold sleep but OBVIOUSLY they can’t survive without resources, so alongside the cold sleep people are these human-made organisms called “Plants” who produce the necessities + more that humans need to survive.

Still with me? Ok So everything’s all fine and dandy, but then suddenly due to an event that I cannot disclose because of spoiler related reasons these ships CRASH on a deserted sandy desolate planet, and the remaining humans are then forced to survive solely off of the remaining plants (since all the technology from the spacefaring age was lost in the crash).

Now that the worldbuilding stuff’s outta the way, the main character is this dude named Vash the Stampede who is constantly being chased and hunted down because of this CRAZY bounty he’s got on his head and this is where . The main themes of Trigun start to shine through. It’s about morality and the lives of other people, about the cycles of abuse that lead to why people do certain things and it dives quite deep into the psychological and philosophical aspects ESPECIALLY since this is like a “kill or be killed” world and the main character ALWAYS chooses NOT to kill, no matter what.

I started out with watching the newest adaptation (Trigun stampede) but there’s no right or wrong order to consume the three medias, so start with whichever one you’d like ,,,, assuming you do want to start watching it, anyway.

Judging from what little i know about ur interests, I think trigun would be more up your alley BUT ALSO chonny jash is so good ESPECIALLY CCCC AND ESPECIALLY IF YOU ENJOY A SMALLER AMOUNT OF CHARACTERS COUGH COUGH COUGH but it's ultimately up to you, this is all assuming you'd wanna delve into anything in the first place. anyway yeah rant over . 👍

what's this? refs for mikey and leo in the spirit au? no way!

tada! drew these in church lol.

mikey lore first!

Mikey had always been splinter's golden boy. he was the best student and always got everything right on the first try. He had the best connections with the spirits, he always meditated perfectly, and he would constantly go up into the mountains to hang up charms. His brothers didn’t think of him as a teachers pet though. Quite the opposite. They loved him. They weren’t jealous. Well, maybe a little bit. But not to the point where they didn’t like him. Although, when Mikey decided to spend the night up in the mountain one day, all his brothers opposed the thought. They all had heard the legends of the tax collectors. They dark beings who roamed the woods, collecting souls of those who don’t belong or have ill intentions. Even though Mikey was practically the purest heart out there, his brothers didn’t think the risk was worth it. Mikey didn’t care, of course, and he went anyway. Which made the boys freak out when he didn’t return for the next three days. Turns out Mikey had somehow fallen asleep in a cave-like part of the brush, and the spirits transported him to the base of the spirit tree. When he woke up, the night spirit was there. He was sitting atop the small altar with a charm in his hand. Mikey instantly got on his knees and tried to find a suitable offering, but was stopped by the night spirit. They talked for a while and Mikey was amazed at how many things his village had gotten wrong, including The spirits name: Casey. Eventually, Casey brought Mikey home. When they reached the village, Casey stopped at the tree line while Mikey kept walking. When Mike looked back, the spirit was gone. In his place, stood a wooden staff with beautiful wood burned engravings all up it. And at the very top, hung a small decorative charm. It had and eclipse embroidered on it. Mikey gad never seen anything like it. He walked towards the staff, which was somehow standing upright by itself, and took it. When his hand made contact with the wood, the moon symbol appeared on the back of his hand. A gift. From the Spirit of the Night.

woo!! That was fun :D Leo’s turn!!

Leo had always been the funny one. The irresponsible one. They one who never listened and always joked around. He always talked and talked and talked. But today was different. Leo didn’t know how to react when Mikey came back from the woods with a staff and a smile on his face. Of course he rushed up to hug his little brother. Of course he asked millions of questions regarding to his safety and well-being. But when Mikey told his brothers that he met the night spirit and that the spirit gave him the staff, Leo was left speechless. Which was very abnormal for him. When he finally opened his mouth to say something though, Splinter had already entered the room. When their master saw the staff in Mikey’s hands, his eyes went wide. He ordered the other boys to exit the room and they obeyed. It was early in the morning, so the cool air made all of them shiver as they exited the hut. they could hear splinter speaking with mikey inside the building, and instantly leaned against the door to try and get a better listen at what they were saying. leo couldn't really tell what all the fuss was about. it was just a fancy stick. mikey probably just found it in the woods and made up an elaborate story about it. but one thing was for sure, ever since mikey got back, the air felt different. he couldn't explain it, but leo was sure the atmosphere was different. the air was cooler and the plants seemed greener. it was just.......strange. as he looked around at his surroundings, he could have sworn he saw four glowing yellow eyes watching him from the trees. but he blinked and they were gone. maybe there was more going on then he thought.

oke, that took a bit longer to think up than expected. sorry for not getting this finished sooner, It's holy week and things have been busy for my school and my family. anyways, i hope you enjoyed! i know this one was probably a bit all over the place, but i hope it made a little sense lol

@allyheart707 hope you like it :)

Costume Meta 6x04

Sorry this has taken me a bit longer than normal to get out but oh boy do I have a lot to get through this week - so much costume goodness and its full of interesting things, so pull up a chair and settle in with a beverage of your choice because this is a long meta!!! I even managed to somehow get round the 30 image limit and get 34 pictures into this post - I told you I was going to make full use of the increased limit 😂

I also have a question for you all -are you interested in me sharing with you where you can buy the clothes worn and how much they cost?? because I can do a separate post if you’re interested? I can’t always find everything, but I can usually find a good chunk of the costumes (especially the women’s clothes!) and I’m happy to share it if you’re interested! anyway let me know and let’s get to talking about the costumes in Animal instincts!

No Chimney this week as we didn’t see him out of uniform! 😭

below the cut as its very long!!

Bobby

Bobby has reverted to the green and brown colour palette we tend to see him in most often after blue and the choice is perfect for this episode - we start off with this /brown polo shirt which has a slightly greenish tone to it.

before we get the light green (almost army green) tee while he’s alone at the Grant-Nash house

before we finally end up on this forest green button up shirt

it’s an interesting pattern of colour for Bobby and the sleeve lengths are also telling. If we start with the brown polo, I’ve spoken before about how brown is stable and reliable, but what I haven’t spoken about is how brown is also seen as the colour of dependable friendships and good counsel and how it offers support and protection - in my opinion all perfect things to describe the scene Bobby has with Hen - him being a good friend to her and giving her some sound advice. the greenish tint to the polo also hints at the idea of renewal - in this case Bobby returning to the firehouse (and seemingly rejuvenated despite the circumstances from the previous episode) and in great spirits.

The green tee - which is almost an army green - similar to the ones we’ve seen Eddie in - hints at the battle against loneliness in an empty house. its a pretty neutral choice and continues to show a relaxed Bobby who seems to be fairly at peace with himself - but the choice of green here could also be hinting at the internal battles bobby faces - against his addiction - because an empty house could be a dangerous place to be. It doesn’t mean anything here in the context of this scene, but it could very well be planting seeds for the future!

And then there is the forest green button up shirt - with its sleeves rolled down one turn further that Bobby usually wears them - a sign that he is hiding something - in this case its obvious - Bobby is hiding Hoover the dog. the renewal and growth symbolism of green is very much pertinent here - Bobby and Athena find themselves empty nesting and Bobbys solution is to steal get a pet (once Hoover wind Athena over of course!!) which grows their household a bit!

Athena

Two Athena costumes to talk about this week and they are fairly contrasting, we have the blue knit top with the white collar and a plum ribbed top with a bronze longline belted cardigan.

We can’t talk about the blue top and not compare it to the one Buck wears n 6x02 - because they are remarkably similar. Athenas is a slightly brighter and darker shade of blue, but its hard not to draw a parallel between them and its yet another example of Bathena being paralleled with Buddie (because Eddie and Bobby are semi paralleling each other as well but I’ll talk more about that when I get to Eddie!).

Like Bucks struggle to understand the secret to happiness in 6x02, Athena is struggling to be fully happy now she finds herself with an empty nest - it’s yet another connection to lev and the idea of life passing you by if you don’t appreciate the moment. Athena has made her family and especially her children such a massive part of her life, that now she’s faced with the next stage, she’s struggling to understand where to find her happiness. this isn’t to say Athena is unhappy, just that she’s in the next stage of her life and having to grapple with what that looks like. It’s such a clear connection to Buck - who, now free of Taylor is grappling with where he goes next and how he finds what he’s looking for. I love the wardrobe department for making this parallel between Buck and Athena- because although they are at different stages of their respective lives, the answer is in the same for them both - its in their partners.

then we have this plum and bronze combination - which looks incredible on Angela - this woman would look good in a bin bag!!!!

Plum is a shade of purple with black undertones. it is a rich colour and is associated with royalty, wisdom and compassion. While Bronze is both a colour of strength and support, warmth and comfort. they are rich jewel like tones and we continue to see more and more of Athena in these colours this season which I am loving - yes the black is still ever present and I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of her in army greens as the season progresses, but we are witnessing a shift in Athena which began in season 4, but is really gaining pace now and is being shown through her costumes - I might be getting my hopes up, but it really is all pointing towards an Athena who is increasingly less about work and her position as a police officer and more about who she is as a person without that. I might have to do some adding up and compare the screen time of her in uniform compared with her out of uniform if I get the chance because I think it will back up my thoughts!

Maddie

Green blazer and tee with ‘we are the new hippies’ logo (available from Saks fifth avenue if you’re interested and have a couple hundred dollars to spend on a t-shirt!!

we continue to see Maddie in tees with blazers - not a leather jacket in sight - it really shows how far she has come. I spoke about it in my 6x01 meta - blazers mean Maddie in a good place based on her wearing them in previous seasons. the emerald green one is a great colour on Jen, but more importantly green means growth and renewal - the renewal of her relationship with Chimney and family life and the growth associated with that.

The orange dip dye tee with a white zip front hoodie and a blue double breasted blazer with brass buttons and a peak lapel is an amazing choice. we have the navy (military not colour) undertones of the coat with the double breasted brass buttons and its navy colour. The use of a military style suggests an element of protection, but it also suggests the idea of ‘ship shape’ - and by the book - which is something we witness Maddie doing in this scene - she learnt from the Tara situation and has gone about providing help in the right way this time.

Then we have the orange tee. Orange is a colour of enthusiasm, warmth and joy - it is also a colour of emotional strength, so to have Maddie in orange at the end of an arc which will have hit very close to home for her and to have her showing such emotional strength really does relay just how far she has come.

Hen

Hen’s first costume is this army camo jacket with a black tee and a green pair of trousers - which we see again later on when she goes to see her neurology professor to ask for a second chance. I found it really interesting and clever to have her in the same costume at the start and the end of the episode - just with a change of jacket - going from camo - something you wear when you’re in hiding or trying to go unobserved - so here we have Hen, in a scene where a large chunk of the conversation is about lying and keeping secrets. She is essentially trying to go unobserved - in the sense that we don’t know if the firefam know about her failing her neurology test

in her last scene and after her drunk conversation with Buck, Hen has decided to stop laying low and confront her failure by asking for a second chance - the use of a tiger pattern for this is wonderful to see - tiger stripes in fashion are meant to convey self confidence, courage and ambition - very much Hen in this scene! I also want to take a moment to talk about the use of a cardigan with a large Aries logo on it (fashion brand Aries) in red. Aries is of course a constellation and star sign, but did you know that in greek mythology, Aries is the ram that provided the golden fleece, which not only connects to Athena, but also to the other god of war (and courage) - Ares. Now the reason this is interesting and pertinent here is two fold - first is the fact that Athena is the one who helps Jason (and the argonauts) claim the fleece so that Jason may claim his rightful throne. The second is that Ares god of war, is the embodiment of the brutality of war, and he is often on the wrong side of battles in greek mythology - being outsmarted by his sister Athena - who uses strategy to win her battles (the trojan horse is a perfect example of this in practice in the greek myth) so putting Hen in an outfit connected to the ‘failure’ god of war is hinting that this endeavour of hers will fail (because she has picked the wrong side - pursuing being a doctor) and that it will be brutal on her in the process. This all ties in with what we know about ‘Tomorrow’ and I love hte fact that it also connects into the idea of the universe screaming at Hen - what could be more universe screaming than a constellation of stars - and when theres going to be a space lab involved!!!!

The other thing I want to point out is the colour matching of this outfit when Hen makes her bid to be given a second chance, and the outfit Buck is wearing when Connor makes his ‘second’ bid to Buck for him to be his and Kamerons sperm donor - russet - which is a reddish brown! the choice to tie those two things together through colour is so indicative of the fact that both will ultimately be the wrong choice in some way.

Then we have this fabulous D&G jumper (retails at $2,795 if you’re interested and have the budget of a major tv show!!!!) tv test card jumper. I love the fact that Hen is wearing something that resembles the tv test card, because that is what you’d see on the screen when the channel wasn’t broadcasting, or when there was an issue with the signal (this is back in the 1960′s to the 1990′s for those of you too young to know what one is!!) Hen in this scene is in waiting mode - she’s not ‘broadcasting’ without work or study to do and is at a loss as to what to do with her time and I think this is a neat bit of costuming to portray this. there is also the fact that checkerboard is synonymous with the idea of pieces moving into place and a symbol of duality and achieving balance in ones life - something Hen doesn’t currently have but is trying to figure out how to achieve!

Connor and Kameron

Ok so I don’t normally do meta for guest cast because if I did then they’d get way too long and it would take me all week, but Conor and Kameron feel too relevant and there is some interesting stuff going on.

When we meet them, Kameron is in a long dress with a pale blue chintz print on a white background I found this a really fascinating choice because this kind of print immediately makes me think of 3 things - 18th century women's fashion, wallpaper and porcelain (from the same period).

This is intriguing to me because throughout the episode she is presented as this almost non entity - I don’t mean it as a negative, because this storyline is about Buck and his growth etc and she has a very specific purpose in this narrative. This is about Conor’s inability to have children so Kameron is there for storytelling purposes and so she has been deliberately written as inoffensive. The reason I find this son fascinating is because the use of a pattern that calls back to the feminine world of the 18th century is a really clever one - it places Kameron in the same ideology as the world they occupied - a world where the expectations for women was to make a home and provide a family. We even textually get a confirmation of this concept when Conor explains that it was just expected that Kameron was the problem - that it was her who was infertile - a common assumption for women in the 18th century as well - and it shows us how little we’ve moved on from 18th century misogyny.

Her next outfit had me very 👀👀👀 and it still does if I’m honest - Pink cardigan and a white tee

because of this from 5x04 Home and Away;

and also (this ones for you @kitkatpancakestack ) because of this from 4x08 Breaking Point;

yeah - are you seeing what I’m seeing?? I know the lighting is a bit yellowy in the first shot which is making it look a slightly different colour, but we basically have her colour matching Buck at two moments where he is caught in the middle of someone else’s relationship - when he makes mistakes that prove costly (not only to him but also to those in the respective relationships).

We have Buck getting involved in Maddie and Chimneys relationship - involving a child - by keeping secrets and inadvertently doing more harm than good both to himself and others (long game foreshadowing anyone?)

And then theres Breaking point my absolute beloved - in a costume that is even closer to the one Kameron is wearing because of the white shirt Buck is wearing beneath. We have Buck having a conversation with Albert about Veronica and their relationship and the conversation is about Buck not being a third wheel in Albert and Veronicas relationship if he has dinner with them. This scene is also the set up for the end of Albert and Veronica - because she doesn’t like his friends - but also for bringing Taylor back into the equation - something that ultimately made him incredibly miserable! But the thing to take away from this scene is the comment about not being a third wheel - which is exactly what Buck is essentially going to be if he was to go through with this sperm donation - that unwanted third person in a relationship - always present but unwanted and not included (because its worth remembering that they might ask him more than once so they can grow their family - heaping more pain on him in the longer run!).

Conor is playing very nicely into both my check theory and my stripe theory and actually the combining of them both on one character within one episode has me salivating, because I can’t (off the top of my head and I don’t have the time to go check) remember any instance where we’ve seen both used in combination before.

Checks being the portender of trouble and stripes being the bringer of change in direction. To combine them in this way is prophetic (IMO) that Buck won’t go through with the donation - because while the stripes being worn in the scene where buck says yes to being a donor highlights the upcoming change in direction, the check being worn twice in the prior scenes seemingly without any problems arising for Conor is suggestive that the trouble is only delayed and that the fallout will have a larger impact than a singular use of check clothing would present - because this storyline isn’t over yet and I wouldn’t be surprised if the next time we see Conor he’ll be wearing more check - especially if we see him when Buck either changes his mind and tells them he can’t do it, or if Bucks medical history intervenes.

Buck

Okay - Buck has a fair amount going on in this episode from a costume perspective - we start off with this lightweight blue sweater;

which is pretty much the same shade as the one he wears for a different conversation with Maddie...

(Again the lighting makes the colour look a bit different but it is pretty much the same colour). The fact that we have yet more colour paralleling (because Maddie is also in green in that season 2 conversation!) for conversations that are about similar things - Abby was off ‘opening herself up to possibility’ and finding herself in Europe and now we have Buck planning on doing the same thing - just while staying in LA. The fact that Abby had ended her relationship with Buck (without telling him grrrrr) before she wen’t off to ‘find herself’ and Buck has just ended a relationship himself (actually making it clear its ended) is loud - whats even louder is that we know that Abby came back from that finding herself adventure with a fiancee (and future step children) and that implies that Buck will end his ‘finding himself adventure’ in a similar position - do we need more proof that Buddie is going canon - because this right here is it - you don’t call back to a conversation both thematically and from a costume perspective unless it means something - the wardrobe team would have been told that the conversation in 6x04 was mirroring the one from 2x01 and they would’ve picked those colours intentionally!

There isn’t a lot to say about the black knit polo, other than to say that it is meant to reflect Bucks charming nature, while concealing his vulnerabilities - because we can see from the dialogue and acting choices in this scene that Buck is surprised that Connor has settled down etc - its the very thing Buck has been searching for and here it is presented in front of him - he would be feeling vulnerable about not having the same thing, but we see him concealing it - the entire conversation is about Connor and Kameron, Buck really doesn’t say much about himself in that scene at all - its all one sided.

I’ve already spoken above about the choice to have Hen and Buck in the same russet colour for their respective scenes so I won’t go on about that again here, but I will talk a bit about the colour russet - because it’s interesting, especially when combined with texture - Russet has come to mean honesty, but also seriousness and regret. the perfect choice for both Hen and bucks respective conversations.

Russet was originally a term used to describe a type of coarse cloth rather than a colour and it was cloth usually worn by the poor in the medieval period - it was even enshrined in law in England, that people working in certain trades could only wear russet cloth! We do get patterning through the weave of Bucks bowling shirt, which again, like it did in season 5 hints at Bucks confused and uncomfortable state of mind - this is a Taylor situation all over again in essentials. We also get a white tee, so sound the klaxon as it means trouble ahead for him!

hopefully you can see the patterning of the weave in the below picture!

Thing is we’ve seen Buck in this colour before - in 5 x07 Ghost Stories - and connected to a story about a guy caught up in the drama of a married couple (and a big warning sign for Buck about the fact that Taylor will go after the truth no matter what!) and someone asked to do something for each person in the marriage. This is yet another call back to a scene where Buck is involved in something pertaining to either himself or someone else being or getting involved in a relationship where they would be better off staying out of it.

The dark navy knit polo with tan and white collar, is indicative of where Bucks head is at - the darkness of the navy shows we also have the white trainers - if we needed any more proof that Buck is on a journey to discover love, then this is it - he wears the white trainers when he’s in scenes about love - both familial and romantic and those scenes provide important markers on this journey. you can read more of this theory here, but we should take note of what was said in that scene because it is important in Bucks search - can he be a ‘donor not Dad’ is the key takeaway here.

Bucks blue vertical striped short sleeve button up shirt is a doozy of a costume choice - its yet more Buck wearing blue in season 6 (we’re not totalling a ration of 2 non blue outfits to 6 blue ones!!!)

I’ve seen a few gifsets going around showing the above shirt in parallel with the below one, and it’s a very important connection to make. The gaps between the stripes is wider on the one from 4x14 and like I spent many of my s5 metas talking about, the tighter the patterning the more it represents inner turmoil and confusion. the difference between the gaps is telling - Buck was done with being the one doing the chasing when Taylor turned up on his door, but the Eddie situation was beginning to resolve itself at that point in time - he was awake and on the mend - hence the wider stripes. This new shirt shows the narrowing - there is more confusion going on and it continues the theme of Buck wearing vertical stripes in this season so far as well - we’re totalling 3 vertically striped shirts now in 4 (technically 3) episodes. there is a further connection to make with this shirt and its with Past is prologue and the most uncomfortable I love you of all time. Its the one other time we’ve seen Buck in blue with vertical stripes and i don’t believe his yes to being a sperm donor was any more genuine than his saying I love you to Taylor was - oh he’ll try hard to convince himself its true and he’s okay with it, but in the end he’s either going to turn around and say no (in the same way he said no to Taylor in 5x18 when he broke up with her) or he’s going to be unable to donate and eventually feel relief that he didn’t have to go through with it (in the same way we saw his relief when Taylor handed back her key and walked out of his life).

Eddie

Eddie is wearing a green long sleeve tee when Christophers school phones him. the green is a darker army green - indicative of the fact that Eddie is ‘at war’ with Christopher in this episode, (maybe a strong term, but thats what it feels like to Eddie!) but the fact that the colour is both brighter and darker than many of his other army coloured t-shirts shows his progress - its not truly army coloured and its not washed out like his other army tops have been. this is bolder and cleaner - it is yet more proof that Eddie is in a good place - it connects him to his past, but also shows he can grow beyond it - we no longer identify him as a solider (in fact it will be interesting to see if we see any more army tees now he’s in a better place and finding himself without the identity of soldier - I think unless he spirals backwards we might not!)

Eddie’s watch was very prominent in this episode - we get to see it in the above scene as well as in the conversation with Ramon. Both scenes are obviously connected through Christopher (as does the fact that there is yet another timepiece connecting to Christopher in the tank top scene - we see Eddies clock on the bedside table when Chris has snuck out of bed to chat with his friends online!) and, as I have theorised that watch is a representation of his st. Christopher medal, as well as connected to Buck we have an interesting pattern emerging. Although we didn’t get to see Eddie and Buck talking about whats been going on with Christopher, we did get Buck being connected to whats been going on when Eddie asked him if Chris had confided in him - Eddie tried to involve Buck in the matter, but Buck was too much in his own head to be able to contribute.

As a quick aside - I’m truly enjoying the fact that Both Eddie and Ryan have the same colour phone case 😂

The scene above has Eddie in a black trucker jacket and a tan top and boots - all very nicely colour matched with his watch strap as well and it bares a striking resemblance to this outfit from 5x18;

Not the same outfit and the jumper is lighter in the 6x04 scene, but close enough to draw a parallel - and interestingly both scenes involve conversations with parental figures - and both are conversations that encompass the concept of healing from trauma and being saved. the lightening of the brown to tan and the switch from suede to cotton are indicative of the fact that Eddie is continuing to make progress on his healing journey (because even the boots go from dark brown to tan!), in this case the black jacket is about Eddie attempting to conceal his vulnerability - while the tan top is a mixture of brown yellow and white. The meaning of brown is stability, comfort and protection, while yellow is communication, optimism and clear thinking, then there is white - balance and new beginnings.

Eddies Black tank top proved my theory correct - if you haven’t read it then you can by clicking here and the fact it came in a scene after the bike incident - insanity and I’m still not over it! Eddie is in an interesting place emotionally, and we get to see a little of his stress response - his authority, before he reins it back in and breaks the cycle.

Christopher

Sassy Christopher (I love his sass!!) in his navy and white stripe short sleeve rugby polo also playing into stripe theory - his life is about to change - because he has been found out - gotta admire his plan though - not sure I’d have thought of doing what he did to get a bit of freedom from my parents when I was his age!

and finally we have his blue and green pyjama top. The patterning on this top is great - its kind of like clouds passing across the sky or even the Aurora borealis, calming and balancing green the colour of growth and the blue of trust, security and support - all things we see in the way Eddie handles Christopher in this scene - all things that show how fare Eddie has come and how different his relationship with Chris is compared with his own relationship with his father when he was Christophers age. Its a beautiful to see - just like the aurora borealis!!!

I hope you enjoyed reading and thank you as always for your likes, comments and reblogs - I love reading your thoughts etc in the tags - they make my day!
