in the meantime: study, journal, read more books, sit in silence, listen to music, take walks, take the stairs, do more things alone, do more things with friends, take notice of the small wonders of the world, create a sacred space in your mind

harry lloyd was let out of the basement for five minutes and said jayvik being married with four children in a cottage by the stream couldn't even cover how important and significant their relationship is to each other and how bound they are with one another
Final Glorious Evolution
i hate how if you mention doing any form of art or music or writing to anyone there's this connotation that you want to be famous or rich because of it. i'm literally just in my bedroom doing arts and crafts, writing silly stories with no direction and learning knocking on heavens door on guitar for the millionth time. and that's enough
Finished my color theory assignment :)
Don’t be mean to him guys, he’s just really susceptible to peer pressure
same character, different fonts
Yeah sorry I’ll never be normal about characters who only see themselves as having value in what they can do for others. Yeah it’s terminal. Sorry.
A lot of people point out the visual parallels between Mel and Viktor but not enough people talk about the thematic parallels between them (also excuse the shitty screenshots).
they both grew up with mentors who ended up doing something they couldn't understand (Viktor believing death is better than sacrificing humanity, Mel believing war is bad)
and they remain haunted by that memory as an adult
they later left that mentor, Viktor on his own decision, Mel got cast out. Then they reconnected with that mentor when they are struggling with the same dilemma but their position has shifted. Again Viktor does this on his own accord and Ambessa comes to Mel
After this encounter though they realise their error and shift back to their original position
They stick to the same morals after Jinx's bomb hits but the decision was taken from them, Jayce already sacrificed Viktor's humanity, the council already decided on war
Then for the rest of season two we see them attempt to keep up their original stance but their hand is forced. (It is also interesting that Viktor is already taking away their humanity he just doesn't realize it yet, probably because he is so far from his own humanity he has forgotten what that even means)
They also both have parallels to the one they once defended as a kid
But I'm still having trouble finding what the purpose of all these parallels are. Viktor and Mel aren't very close in the narrative and they're both close to Jayce but I don't feel we see these parallels used in their relationship to him. I think the end point is that it's not Viktor's fault he became a villian in the end. Both him and Mel fought for what they thought was right and they both lost, it was only because of how others used Viktor that he was the reason so many people almost died.
