no matter how much of a hellhole twitter becomes i will probably never have the heart to delete my account of my own volition because it's first and foremost an archive of all my thoughts/interests/memories of the past six years and i love knowing what past me had to say about stuff

god i'm the opposite kind of empty right now 😭 i thought about and talked about canon so much that at this point i feel like i don't have anything else (new) to say and all i'm thinking about is aus that are completely unrelated to canon 😭

HEAD IN HANDS

ouch

YES YES YES that's how they keep that spark alive!!!! they never stop teasing and flirting because they just keep wanting each other!!!!!

hoyo make it make sense i'm begging you. but also i guess they have bigger fish to fry rn haha

the way phainon actually gave it voluntarily but 1) it happened off screen and 2) was only mentioned in supplementary material instead of in-game. we need to set hyv hq on fire

dominant mydei 🤤🤤🤤 the audience is satisfied

all i saw was verlaine and i thought i was hallucinating

many unholy thoughts about this.

i'm also thinking about how kephale's role is all about Remembering Things & how remembering is also an act of love & how well it ties with his passion for antique appraisal. loving things & appreciating every single detail & committing them to memory even if these things are broken or imperfect

he clings to deliverance but what would he become once he fulfilled this role? does he even have a Self to fall back on outside of that? can he be absolutely sure he'll find a new reason to live, a new purpose to drive him forward? cause if it's killing nanook then it's just another obsession

it's a testament to his love and his will but it can also be something destructive if it's too much to handle, if the internal balance between selflessness and selfishness is off, if whatever you give away is not the same as what you receive, both in form and amount

i like the thought that it's always both. the source of his happiness & strength, something that helps him stay on the right track and something he turns to when he feels himself waver AND ALSO the source of his suffering, a fixation that prevents him from moving on, changing, growing, being a Self

you already do 💔

phainon's dance practice outfits............ we don't talk about them. they're only semi-decent when they're filming

also ALSO i think mydei wears a cap to all dance practices and it sits like super low and you can't even see his eyes

I CAN SEE IT SO CLEARLY IN MY MIND YES YE SY ES

YESSSSSSS THANK YOU FOR THIS VISION

OH MY GOD I'M GONNA EXPLODE

also offtop but it's REALLY funny to me how my header on twitter and other sites has been this old edited photo of a random page from some kind of textbook with the words "you are now an upright headless torso" for YEARS and now we have *gestures vaguely at amphoreus*

sorry i can't be Critical about it rn because my brain has been feeling like mush these past couple of weeks when it comes to lore and theories so i can only read and like what others post and discuss but yeah you really popped the fuck off

call me irontomb the way i'm headless now because you blew my head straight off my neck with this thread. this theory is just so. Elegant i think would be the right word because it ties some of these loose ends so well i can't help but sit there in awe

god i can feel the yearning through the screen

PAUSE i need to go back and read those aus, i left them for later and then completely forgot

yeah. yeah

YIPPIIIEEEEEEE I'M SO EXCITED TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK, ENJOY THE FEAST

but madoka never had any blatant marriage imagery anywhere (except maybe the veil but you don't have to necessarily associate it with a bride outfit imo), all of it came from elysia and makes NO sense with cyrene's role in the amphoreus story

the thing is, i feel like in some ways the more unique parts of cyrene's character DO feel closer to madoka than elysia, with how she stays powerless and confined to the role of an observer till like the second to last episode and how her Love is closely tied to Hope more than anything else

i could've made the "it's a madoka reference" excuse for the bow but not for the veil, the marriage-themed skill zone and the ring in the ult animation 😭
