3l!grian is frequently depicted as a tragic figure and sometimes i wonder if we even watched the same series

#like yes he is tragic. every character in the series is tragic but i think hes easily the least tragic of the winners #(except maybe cleo. i have my own thoughts about how cleos victory plays into her core themes and why its not as joyous or triumphant as #cleo the players and the fandom at large make it seem that i will have to make a real post about at some point) #grian dies Laughing. he smiles and calls it a dual victory before the final fight. his last words are “its been amazing.” #to me Grians arc is about how he came in with this sense of mirth. had it ripled away by the reality when his joke gets Scar killed. #and then rediscovers it as he learns that the horror of their circumstances doesn't need to keep him from delight #plus also ive never seen a man more delighted to explode three of his friends #ill also bring up that Martyns lore has Grian involved in the games explicitly to COMBAT the angst #that Grians inherent silliness and joy makes the players less hopeless as they meet their endings #and theres obviously parts of martyns lore i can take or leave but this is one area where Eyes and Ears lines up very well with what actions #the characters take and so im happy to bring it up #unlike other parts such as “limlife pearl and cleo retained more trauma between seasons than any player has before” #which i do directly refute as it doesn't seem to line up with the way the characters act and the story plays out #thats for another post though #my point here is 3l grian was having the time of his life and i think there are some fanon interpretationd that disregard that #which theyre free to do im definitely someone who has ignored canon plenty of times in the past (glances at worm) #but i think this is the sort of thing that makes the canon more interesting and compelling #anyway. um. rambled longer than i meant to there #grian #trafficblr #3rd life #3rd life smp #3lsmp

Chuang Tzu, section 17, Autumn Floods

Borges, trans. Stephen Kessler (Spanish under the cut)

#the association between the poem and the chuang tzu excerpt really only hinges on one line but I still find it compelling #I come back to two dual-language editions of Borges' poetry all the time #The Sonnets and Poems of the Night

my best friend, onstage ringo, who I spent every last one of my magic gems on and pulled exactly zero of

#puyo puyo #ringo ando #my art #anyway i was (machine) translating her flavor text and monologue lines that were on nexus #and one of them said 'im getting closer to my dream' and augh i was just so emotional about it. i stayed up til 2 am to draw this #(then i went to bed and finished it this morning) #and also like i love you girl but why the hell has your guitar only got three strings #do you know how hard it is to try and draw proper guitar chords and you gotta hit me with 'theres only three strings here actually' #anyway i tried to make it an a chord (shes an a girl and also its one that only requires 3 strings) but i dont know how well that turned ou #its also dual shift because i love her mega form from 7? i was looking at ds/ep change for a bit but i decided on dual shift for this one #maybe ill draw a ds/ep ringo next time! #my stuff

You ever just see a character so loved by its creators that it shows through the character itself?

#aria rants #i love seeing it and now i see another loved character. im talking bout sparkle from hsr this time #her trailer is just so good with everything that it really is a trailer just for her. everything bout it has themes and details #that points to sparkle. it tells a story. shows her beliefs. and presents symbolisms all pertaining to sparkle herself #tbf i alrdy love how sparkle is written (been a long while since hoyo wrote a morally ambiguous character outside of hi3) #shes antagonistic in her own way. so far most of her actions came off as smth villainous during 2.0's story #but thats also what makes her intriguing and interesting as a character cuz she isnt just a purely evil villain #and the trailer showcased that in a way thats fitting for her. shes a Fool. yet not completely ''foolish.'' she has no face #since all she ever has are masks to present to others. she follows Elation with a dual-coloured mask that represents good #and evil yet not in a synergy. it is balanced but a clear line is driven between it. she can be good. she can be evil. #whichever is more entertaining is what she'll choose. its an option for her and not an obligation. i love her character a lot

as fun as it is to study characters under a microscope and figure out every little thing that’s wrong with them and why, i appreciate media where characters are like 30% self-aware at best and getting to that point costs them EVERYTHING.

#i have said this many times but there are a lot of characters who i suspect would be destroyed by complete self-awareness #they couldn’t live with it #some of them can’t even live with 30% self-awareness #i think that this is especially true for characters who struggle to acknowledge and reconcile their dual roles as perpetrator and victim #which is a line we all walk to some degree - so it’s a relatable source of inner conflict #we’ve all (intentionally or not) been hurt and we’ve all (intentionally or not) hurt others #and what do we DO with that?? #how do we cope with that???? #hopefully we do better than most of these characters - but we can still empathize with them on some level #i mean. being self-aware as ME is painful… some of these people… i can’t imagine it #so the avoidance of it as a means of (usually unconscious) self-preservation is both understandable and tragic #because very often it kills them but you also have to ask: would being self-aware have killed them anyway? #so many times people are like ‘ugh! if this character had only realized [x] then this all could have been avoided!’ #and i’m like. Could It Have Though? #not to quote Black Sails but… #Perhaps The Trouble Was Going To Happen Anyway

Growing very attached to some of my secondary Hawkes, tbh. Some very good concepts there if I do say so myself.

#Clarity is a very sweet very quiet blue Hawke with the tiniest of tiny red streaks #she's an archer and she'd really just like to be a scholar and look at pretty Chantry tomes all day #she doesn't actually believe in the Maker she just loves theology for its own sake and the Chant for its artistry #romances Seb. archer buddies. flirtatious glances at the back lines. collecting arrows together. Consider. #versus Jesiah who is red Hawke through and through and also a Nasty Greasy Crimes Boy #also a rogue but dual wielding this time #romances Anders. they are both extremely unhinged about it. #(but also Anders teaches him how to Actually Believe In Something) #clarity hawke #jesiah hawke

LET'S TALK ABOUT LOKI'S SHOES (ACTUALLY, HIS WHOLE WARDROBE)

Production costs aside, clothes tell the audience about how characters think of themselves.

Loki's shoes in the S2 finale raised a lot eyebrows, but I find them quite fitting: they are comfortable, practical, and most importantly, they are humble. The camera brings this to our attention to communicate his evolution in character.

Loki has always dressed well, often times ostentatiously. Whether he is at war, passing as a Midgardian, or held captive as an Asgardian prisoner, Loki communicates his social class and sense of superiority through clothing. For him, clothing armors his fragile sense of self and against others' opinions of him. He intends to be perceived as deadly charming but ultimately unapproachable.

His attire in the first Thor movie is roughly equal parts green and gold, signifying his royal status. His style is dressed down for his brother's misadventures in Jotenheim, yet overall both silhouettes are lofty, princely, but not hardened or threatening.

In Avengers, Loki's look has more black and leather, with exaggerated emphasis on his shoulders meant to intimidate as he assumes the role of villain. The silhouette is very hard, heavy, and edgy. Gold detailing is prevalent as well. Combined with the goat's helm, this is Loki's most pretentious outfit, which speaks to an undercurrent of low self-esteem and a compulsive need to impress. There's no mistaking he is the main antagonist of the story.

In Thor 2, Loki's attire is similar to Avengers but the overcoat is exchanged for a less bulky version (perhaps conveying he is less guarded now that the effects of the Mind Stone are no longer influencing him). Loki's role likewise pivots from the harsh lines of a villain to the more flexible edges of a reluctant villain-turned-ally. This aligns with his character arc when he protects both Jane and Thor, seemingly sacrificing himself.

In Thor 3, Loki's silhouette is streamlined even further. The overcoat is done away with in favor of what appears to be a leather doublet, pauldrons, and vambraces. Gold accents are minimal. While stylish, Loki's attire is more practical than showy, and his helm serves the dual purpose of protection as well as weaponry. At this point in his arc, Loki has become a full antihero, joining his brother's side in rescuing as many Asgardians as possible, and eventually dying in a vain bid to protect Thor from Thanos.

The TVA does something very fun and interesting in taking away Loki's ability to dress himself. Since Loki cannot use his magic in the TVA, he is forced to wear the same clothing as his captor/advocate, who eventually becomes his best friend and peer.

Perhaps, on a subconscious level, this helped Loki to feel included. We know by his pwn admission that Loki fears being alone and desperately craves a sense of belonging. At the same time, he intentionally dresses to put people at a distance, thereby protecting himself from potential rejection at the cost of isolating himself further.

When Mobius gives him that TVA jacket for the first time, Loki seems uncharacteristically pleased. It is not an attractive jacket by any means, yet he neither scoffs at it nor refuses to wear it. Instead, Loki puts it on and is content when Mobius says it looks "smart" on him. He continues to dress like Mobius and, indeed, mimic some of his mannerisms such as placing his hands on his hips. Without clothing meant to push people away, Loki opens up, has more fun, and makes friends.

Loki's choice of attire as he assumes the mantle of God of Stories (and time) is fascinating. Setting aside the clear design inspiration from the comics, Loki's silhouette is soft, remarkably so. His colors are earthy hues of green, and the only bit of flare are the light gold trimming and crown. The look brings to mind the garb of sages and wise wizards rather than royalty or warriors. He's powerful yet approachable because there is humility in his bearing. And that humility springs from a well of healthy self-worth, self-love, and a deep love for others.

The shoes are not meant to be attractive. They are meant to help him ascend the throne, nothing more.
