Chapitre 76: Time of Conquest

aka TSUBASA FAMILY BAND CONFIRMED

Just try to tell me this isn’t an album cover. 

JUST TRY. 

I wrote too many tags so I will migrate them into the actual post instead. 

There are so many tiny things about the composition here that might be symbolism that I don’t even know where to start. The text talks about “walking forward into the wind”, but only Sakura is doing that. The others are all looking away, but they’re looking away together. (This might just be a translation thing, but either way Sakura is looking into the wind while the others are looking into the direction of the wind)

Or – no. Correction; Fai and Kurogane are the ones looking away together. Visually their arms and legs both align with each other and their heads are turned in the exact same angle. This could mean a bunch of things, but the together-ness of it is the most important fact, I feel. From there you could jump on any number of interpretations; that they’re both focussed on their pasts more than their futures, that neither of them are really looking for “peace” just yet, that their path is going to wildly diverge from Sakura’s (maybe?). Either way, they’ll get there together.

To contrast with Kurogane and Fai we have Syaoran and Sakura, who are not, in any way, portrayed in the same sense of “togetherness”. Visually they’re separated, on opposite sides of the frame. They have different postures, they are looking in different directions – nothing matches up. Syaoran gives the illusion that he’s looking in the same direction as Fai and Kurogane, seemingly putting those three together in a group, but in reality he’s looking down, not forward. Whatever future Kurogane and Fai share, Syaoran and Sakura don’t seem to be part of it. Syaoran isn’t looking in the same direction as Sakura either, and this again could easily match the fact that so much of his path lies behind him; his journey to restore Sakura’s memories, the fact that his friendship with her is forever lost, and his own missing past. 

He might not find that “land worthy of peace”, but then, he’s not really looking for it in the first place. 

Well, this hurts me.

“I know.”

strewbi: Do you ever think about how like, the Noah we fell in love with was a much dimmer, quieter version of himself when he was alive, and he couldn’t really remember himself, but the one thing he had IN SPADES was love. He loved everything and everyone around him so strongly, even when he…

coldsaturn: monstersqueen: sometimes i wonder about kevin having the jersey number 2 at PSU and if it was free and if not who had it before and then it’s very obvious to me. Seth. Seth had the number 2 before Kevin fucked it up. like. it’s seriously a ridiculously small thing to be petty about…

citizenpublius: Can we talk tho about how after the war, the grateful people of Earth pretty much made a Cult of the Main Six Animorphs? While the Animorphs themselves (except for maybe Marco) don’t necessarily encourage this, we see how the people of Earth idealized their actions and seemed to either not notice their flaws…

You know? I didn’t realize until my sister read the books that Wymack must’ve carried Neil up to his apartment.

Do not imagine Wymack, his face a thundercloud, opening the passenger door and easing Neil out with the gentlest hands, the duffel slung over his shoulder and Neil’s face tucked into the crook of his neck.

Even passed out, Neil is hissing in pain and trying to curl in on himself for protection.

Do not imagine Wymack whispering reassurances in his gruff voice: “it’s ok Neil, it’s just me, it’s Wymack, you’re safe, you’re with me, I got you.”

He doesn’t know if it’s helping, but Neil quiets down and lets him carry him inside.

Do not imagine how small Neil must look, like a broken child, in Wymack’s arms, those same arms that have pulled his Foxes together and held them steady over and over, and will continue to do so as long as they need him.

Wymack’s heart is shaking with barely restrained fury but his hands are careful as he lays Neil out on his couch, cradling the back of his head as he sets him down.

zenosanalytic: t34lbloods: good morning, today I am thinking about how dirk continually being decapitated is not a metaphorical “losing his head” because he remains characteristically rational throughout, but instead a metaphor of cutting off his own head for the sake of others, a representation of his comfort sacrificing his physical safety for the people he…

Ah yes, i have Terrible Taste in Characters. by which I mean: I somehow thought it would be a good idea to re-read specific chapters of Ares (vagrant soldier), like the fight between ares and michael and the chapters after michael death with The Revelations ™, and also the last moments of Ares’ fight with…

thegoldenavenger: #[tony] rips his own heart out and hands it to the people who need it the most with hands covered in blood #but people don’t look at the hole in his chest #all they look at is bloody hands and a bloody heart #and think he took it from anybody but himself.  @dirtylarge ??…

#this entire thing right here is why this series is horrific on so many levels #they sent CHILDREN to do this job #and the children in question DID the job #they murdered hundreds of thousands without understanding what it meant #and now they’re grown and terrified and torn with guilt and fear and anger #and still trying to finish the job because what else is left for them? #your favourite series could never
