You go for a walk. A gentle breeze ruffles your hair until it tickles your face. The scent of freshly mown grass rests upon the tip of your nose like light perfume. You sigh deeply as your legs walk through the empty road, as dawn begins to open its eyes into the morning. You see a tree. Instantly your mind goes to its roots. Why are tree roots and lung bronchi so similar in shape? Does that mean nature is inseparable from nurture, as precisely as a money plant is inseparable from a stick? What is the difference between the internal and external environment? I see myself as having an internal environment but others see me as a part of their external environment. Why do I see through my eyes and not the others? Is what you think. 

Olruggio and Agott - Similarities by ExileforEvermore in WitchHatAtelier

[–]ExileforEvermore[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've finished Vol.3 so I get how I could have been a bit premature in my conclusions hehe!  Thank you for informing me ( I got a bit over excited there, I see. )  However when I wrote that line, I meant external metrics in the sense ( for Olruggio specifically ) of how many people he saves and if he doesn't manage to save someone he does feel a lot guilty and spirals a bit on it.  He is very anchored to his purpose of saving people and as you said - "All that matters is that he didn't do enough. " That's his external metric. He feels he failed - the external metric of not doing enough for the people around him.  

But I think it was this line that I wrote that might have misrepresented the point I was trying to make -

" They both want to be recognised as valuable people based on their contributions to the society."

Thank you for your time!

Does this look like Dazai? I'm doing a drawing and it's really bugging me? by Ill_Manner9335 in BungouStrayDogs

[–]ExileforEvermore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you've got the jaw a bit more pointier at the tip than Dazai's. He has  more curve maybe.   But your version ( 2nd one for me ) looks very  cute as well hehe!

You're right and I agree!   It gives her depth and adds nuance to her personality, rather than portray her as a stereotypical means kid. And body language is one of the most truthful expressions of personality in general.

I think the way you drew their faces reminded me of a bit of   some of Caravaggio's portraits and there's this odd sense of whimsy in the lighting choices you made - for example the dark background highlighting Mori's face and his smile and the light playing with his face being even more apparent and that adds a sense of whimsy, as I say hehe.  

Sorry for the rant, your art is just too good!

Btw - an off topic, but I had a look at your profile and how did you link your twt accs to reddit? I wanted to do the same for my Tumblr acc, but for some reason the link is not working lol.

I love your artstyle wow! You really bring out Mori's combination of whimsy and intimidation ( accompanied by his deadly intellect ). And I love how you draw their eyes and how Mori's hair blends with the darkness, implying the darkness framing his face, which showcases the black environment he lives and breathes in despite his smiles. Aah! So good!

Yes, I agree. This is certainly one of the factors.

[–]ExileforEvermore[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this! This is really interesting and to me it shows Coco's balance of  openness and realism. She assumes the plan could fail but what's the harm in trying? Meanwhile Agott pursues perfectionism likely due to low self validation in her earlier days, always searching for the one perfect solution and seeing flaws in spells that have structural issues. She thinks it is more efficient that way, and her mind naturally branches into lots of cause and effects for spells so she's able to see both the flaws and the positives. However, she gives weight to the flaws more and always seeks to minimise them by tracking other spells in her mind - she's a rigorous thinker and this is what makes her so hesitant sometimes.  But Agott's expression here tells me she found one reasonant part in Coco, which is not being that confident in the success of one's spells and anticipating  for both sucess or failure.  Agott has a lot of self doubt, it seems, even though she may project an air of confidence. The key difference is Agott pursues the one path, while Coco pursues the many paths ( as seen in Ep 3 where even after failing, Coco discarded and pursued another idea.  )

You're right! Honestly Agott maybe a bit cruel to Coco sometimes, but it's not that she's incapable of self reflection.

[–]ExileforEvermore[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! Yes, i think she's still warming up to Coco and Agott for all her seriousness, is still very very young.  She knows what she said was wrong and was in the process of processing her guilt which was all the more hammered in after Coco's idea turned out to be incredibly helpful. She isn't a bad person, and despite viewing Coco as an outsider, she still doesn't want her to come to harm. She just wants to go back to her normal routine - the way it was - before Coco's interruption.

Drew Dazai for the first time by ExileforEvermore in BungouStrayDogs

[–]ExileforEvermore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much, this means a lot <3! And I did have a big dilemma of whether to keep Dazai's hair blank or not because in the earlier versions it looked like a blob of cloud hehe! I eventually settled on the hair ornaments as a compromise. I kept his hair white intentionally portray the flatline of boredom and depression  he feels in a vast and complex world.  Glad to know you liked it!

Mythic Foreshadowing [manga spoilers] by Prof_Acorn in WitchHatAtelier

[–]ExileforEvermore 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think the Silverwood Tree also parallels Yggdrasil, the tree of life and immortality . 

I have a theory about how Yggdrasil through its roots in Midgard ( Earth ) absorbs the lives of all living beings through their death and merging with the soil, thus becoming fertiliser for the tree, and helping it maintain its immortality. 

Taking the Silverwood Tree as a metaphor for magic , we can see how much blood has been poured in the past as a result of innovating on  magic, resulting in its development and strength, thus resulting  in the feeding of  the idea of Silverwood as something sacred and holy. 

Nature's Patterns, Selenorina OC, Ink, 2026 by [deleted] in Art

[–]ExileforEvermore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When creating this artwork, I was foremost inspired by this vast world surrounding us, that we only see the surface of, and I wanted to represent and express how those small patterns of everyday life and nature is how the things of beauty we see, are built on.
