Got myself all prepped for the next Aurora chapter
2021 vs 2025
this was originally a meme redraw but for the life of me I can't find the original image. I definitely improved a lot even when drawing shitpost haha
redraw of the last panel on 1.22.49
this one
I love it when people yell at Erin.
Hehe, foreshadowing ;P
There are characters you like but then there are characters you end up thinking about in the middle of the night with a cosmic ache in your chest because they resonate with you so much
I have drawn
the new greatest storyboard in history
OK I actually made two of these
Following up on others’ ideas: if void is inexorably linked to hunger, and the material of hunger is desire, then is light inexorably linked to will and thus also fundamentally a form of desire? Both times Falst accidentally tapped into light powers (at least, sure seems like it), he was tremendously determined to accomplish something: first to save Dainix, then to break free of the diadem. In other words, he had a tremendous will.
Will has several definitions in my dictionary, including firmness of purpose, drive, and desire. It’s also tied to decision-making. Willpower is the determination and control to see a purpose through. In other words, will is conscious or decided-upon desire, while hunger is instinctive or viscerally felt desire… and will cannot exist without want.
If light and void are will and hunger, and will and hunger are both facets of desire, then that would explain why those elements transmute into each other so readily, wouldn’t it? And it strengthens the connection between the Light Dragon and the Void Dragon thematically, which lines up with how they seem to be paired in the narrative so far. This would make them two sides of the same coin.I also thought it was interesting that Tahraim didn’t specifically say “Light Dragon” or “Void Dragon,” just “Dragon.” Kinda made me uncertain of which one he was talking about or if he was talking about both as one entity… Hm.
Anyway, I hadn’t thought so hard about will and hunger and desire before reading today’s page, and now I feel like I have a deeper understanding of all of them, so that’s very cool. Have a nice day!
Dainix is getting thrown into the volcano isn’t he.
'TIS THE SEASON
my old SSSS edits circa 2021 (the goat burned down that year hence the abundance of them)
