This whole 5-billionaires-locking-themselves-inside-a-coffin-and-throwing-themselves-into-the-sea reminds me a lot of the Umibozu episodes from Mononoke, where the girl locks herself inside a wooden boat that closes from the outside (an utsuro-bune to be more specific) and offers herself as a sacrifice to the sea, but ends up turning into a monster and you can still hear her scratching from the inside after 50 years.
Maybe it's too much of a niche series and nobody knows about it (please go watch it, I hate Netflix but I just found out they have it in their catalog) but I would L-O-V-E to see something (fanart? memes? Kusuriuri related content?) about these guys and this episode.
you can try to change, but all you've done is put yourself in a new box.

i think my personal favourite of them is the newspaper! none of the boxes are really straight because i eyeballed everything, but i did abuse the colour picker on my reference photos rest assured
also it must be said explicitly every time. the orv webtoon is working with the revised ebook text which changes a lot of minor and major things for the worse. 1. tones down. SOOOOOO much of the political commentary and identity of the novel. which like. its a political novel. not as explicitly as it is other things, and get that more broadly accessible money i guess, but also its so disappointing. 2. tones down a lot of the gay subtext. ALSO DISAPPOINTING
I wanted to draw some other users' designs so I decided to make it comedic. Every time I scroll through the tags I'm astounded at the creativity and the sheer number of cool designs.
Order of cameos:
Thomas: @putuponpercy little cheeky devil I adore him and his messy hair. Gonna ruffle it. P.S. your reincarnation au is really fuckin cool. And your art makes me happy and I love how you color and shade. I wanna draw your other designs at some point
James: @oldirontender your James design is so cool and unique I adore it. He deserves all of the piercings.
Henry: @ferlost as an ocean nerd, your Henry design makes me feel all happy and giddy like YES. FISH. He's so badass looking too your designs are just so g o o d
Edward: @cosmolovesfandoms your Edward design is so so so so pretty and cool and just is very friendly looking. And vitiligo Edward is something I didn't know I needed until now.
Percy: @fraiserabbit I adore your artstyle and your designs. Percy is so cute and sweet and I'm envious of your skill at anatomy.

21. An obsession from Childhood would be Barbie. I would be excited to get home to go through my family's DVD box underneath the giant TV and watch a movie for the night.
55. THERE IS SO MANY OH MY GOODNESS. I guess overall, would the Last Unicorn count? I loved it as a kid. However, if I had to do it classically it'd be Sleeping Beauty. I love the story and characters and I love Maleficent and Aurora is so pretty 🩷
62. I'm not sure I can list seven but I do know that a year or so ago that I related heavily to Akechi Goro in Persona 5 and I'm still obsessed with his character. I'd also like to say literally any Fae characters I bow down to. I love fae coded characters or characters who don't exactly act human. Like their minds are somewhere else, so I also really like dreamy characters. I recently read a kid's book series called Wings of Fire and I am obsessed with a specific character called Whiteout. Anyways, I love oddball characters they are fascinating. Either that or characters so driven by revenge it is their downfall!
