DCAMU Teen Titans: Cherry Blossom Season 🌸 Group Photo 👨👩👧👦🌸 (in which Kori insists they go flower-seeing on their next team mandatory fun day)
▶️I took a break between reels in the form of cherry blossoms! goodness galour reel-making makes it hard to post on tumblr! background is a photo I took during my local cherry blossom festival 🌸
In college, I took two amazing courses–scratch that I took one amazing course and one semi-disappointing sub-par course–Fairytales and Graphic Narratives, respectively. And until right this very minute, I believed them to be an utterly, though fascinating, waste of my time and tuition though they made me smile. Okay, it was college so they didn’t always make me smile because finals are the worst but I digress the point I am trying to make is this:
I HAVE AN EPIPHANY CONCERNING MY BELOVED SHIP OBIYUKI DUE TO MY TEACHINGS!!
So, first and foremost the birth of my epiphany came from thinking back to my class on Fairytales when we studied Snow White! (Graphic Narratives didn’t really teach me much other than how to think more critically about…Graphic Narratives, so I guess it really doesn’t deserve any cred for this post TBH, lol.)
But like I said we studied Snow White.
Not this one:
Or whatever this one was supposed to be (sorry not sorry):
But, the original one. There are two versions (maybe there are more but I forgot them if there are) of the Grimm’s version of Snow White. In the very most original version, everything pretty much happens as we all remember it minus the singing: Snow White makes Queen step-trash jealous by her beauty, Queen step-trash tries to have her killed, due to her amazing beauty Hunstman is a wuss and lets her live because he’s weak to a beautiful damsel, Snow White plays Goldilocks and breaks into a dwarven settlement, the dwarves also wuss out and take pity on her because she is pretty and can cook/clean for them, then step-trash gets angry realizing she is, in fact, alive and goes out to kill her herself. Now, this is where everything diverges from what we know. In the original version step-trash has to try several times to kill her. Once with a bodice/corset torture device that basically suffocates her until the dwarves get home and cut her out of it, twice with an evil hair comb that kills her until the dwarves pull it out of her hair, and then thrice with the age-old apple trick. The poisoned magic apple gets lodged in her throat and she becomes a stone statue for all intents and purposes, so what do the dwarves do? What any logical group of men would do with a beautiful woman who isn’t decaying but still dead in their eyes, lock her in a gorgeous crystal casket so that they can still gaze upon her beauty on the daily! From here on there are two different endings to the Snow White saga. The very, very, first one published states that the Prince comes along says, “ooooooooh pretty, let me take her home with me and put her on display” and sits around gazing at her all the time until someone in the castle gets pissed off and hits Snow White’s corpse which dislodges the apple finally and wakes her up. What an awkward way to wake up yeah? And then the poor girl gets married to the Prince–ta-da! The second version makes it a lot better ending for poor Snow White. Someone trips while hauling the casket to the palace and dislodges the apple and then the Prince sweeps Snow White off her feet and yay happy ending they get married and now the Prince doesn’t seem as creepy just staring at a dead person all day long pissing off his staff.
(Whooo that was a lot of background info, sorry, and also I know that I could also do a huge comparison post on the tales of Snow White versus our Shirayuki tale, but that is for another day!!!)
Depending on what you want to go with there are so many ways you can analyze the story of Snow White–all of them, old, less old, new, even our beloved Shirayuki’s story–but one of the things that stick out in my mind is how in every single version of Snow White she is always a trophy of some sort. The Prince is always going to get his trophy wife in the end. Even in Shirayuki’s case, if she does end up with Zen (which I’ll die if she does) she will be nothing but a trophy wife. Even though Zen is precious and certainly not a bad guy by any means, he is a Prince, therefore their relationship will not be the same as normal couples have. She won’t be allowed to be an Herbalist and tend to the sick who may infect her and kill her before she can provide an heir. And poor Zen will still be stuck behind a pile of paperwork and responsibility to his Kingdom that he dearly loves.
But, hey who knows, maybe Sorata will go against the entire universe she has built in her storytelling and let Shirayuki be wild and free and a Prince’s wife…
I think this is where “A Romance that Cuts through Fate” comes in to play. Hopefully, if you’ve made it this far in my post (bless you if you have) you’re thinking what I’m thinking. Or maybe you’re thinking I’m a lunatic.
Keep reading
A sloppy colouring because I got excited in the middle of the night.
In short, obiyuki fever. Again. We've got A HUG!!

INCOHERENT SCREAMING
I did a redraw again :)
This is William Turner and Elizabeth Swann wedding in Pirates of the Caribbean 3
And Constantine holding Damirae wedding ceremony is also my headcanon 👀
You can see Clark clearly shocked in the background 😅
for the RobRae week! kinda late.
Robin is angry because he had a dicussion with Cyborg that day, and Raven just listen carefully to him. I like to imagine that sometimes they sit together on the couch while everyone else is sleeping and they just talk a little. Share some thoughts and they help each other.
After one year I could finish it TvT yay (?
It's not much but is honest work XD
Sorry for the little mistakes!! 😅
I second that! ^ I was hooked after reading chapter 1, and chapter 2 is just as wonderful! Amazing writing!😍
I DON’T KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM.
Happy holidays and we hope that everyone has had an incredible and wonderful beginning of 2021. We know that things were not easy but, we made it!
