The Fili Pfeper Boys ☆

Finished!(⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)

LOVE THESE SO MUCH 😭🫶✨️

ok back to the arcana twilight inktober grind, day 18 : Fili Pfeper

Hehe still not over with drawing every arcana twilight character!!

I think I'll switch between ocs and side characters ? I don't know yet

YES!! This was absotutely done on purpose and explains his character in a neat kind of way, like how he's inherently by your side from the very beggining + it's really telling of how summoner was always intended to be polaris in some way

There's also some other cool little astronomy connections which I find cute like how the arcturus star is known for it's orange hue bc of it's temperature (hence an orange boi <3)

^^as well as this maybe being a stretch but maybe explaining his actions on the 12th floor yk 🤔

For sirius I also found out why he's so sparkly and 🌈💅✨️

^^^LIKE IS THIS NOT ADORABLE????

There's also pollux and his twin castor . just look at their constellation it's literally two stick figures holding hands it's great 😭

AND

FOR THE VEGA FANS LOOK I LITERALLY FIND THIS SO INTERESTING !!!!

As a hadestown fan™ I made this connection a while ago but I didn't how much his story line was inspired until I found this

....The connection that vega has to the summoner through their past as childhood friends was inspired by the greek mythological story of Orpheus and Eurydice

(((In lots of other iterations of this story, orpheus turns around not because of a simple misunderstanding but more for his inherit axiety in leaving behind his loved one! Example below!)))

12th floor spoiler? vv

Since we know now that the summoner had turned around as a reaction to Vega's hand slipping (and therfore vega staying back at Boundry) THIS POOR MAN IS BERIEVED WITH GUILT AND CONFUSSION!! HIS FEELINGS OF BEING ABANDONED ARE BACKFIRING ON HIM SOMEONE GIVE HIM A HUG!!

Ok and just one more thing .

VEGA TRAILS AROUND POLARIS

DO YOU HEAR ME

THE SYMBOLISM

HIS SUBTLE CLINGY CHARACTERIZATION

DO YOU HEAR ME‼️‼️

Ok I'm done and anyways I need to do a reread because I've realized how much I've forgoten lore if anyone has any other cool astronomy connections I'm all ears 😊

Arcturus, α Boötis // Ivan Kuznetcov

The name Arcturus comes from the Greek word Arktouros, meaning "guardian of the bear," an origin its constellation, Boötes, also shares.

If your Summoner is a God/Goddess, what kind of God/Goddess they are?

hmm that's an interesting question!

to me my summoner is someone who's just so human it's hard to say, but maybe they're like a combination of the greek goddess of mercy Eleos with something like god of fate/natural progression of time ??

Also summoner reveal yippee

They're they/them and they're basically the person I've envisioned since I first downloaded the game (rn I have them named belle bc that's the name I put for my summoner absentmindedly at first but I'm still trying to play around with new ideas)

RAAAAAAAA HAPPY BIRTHDAY POLLUX !!!!!!!!!

I try not to think about this for my sanity but whenever I do,, ough,,,

so its been a bit since ive been here but have we discussed the fact that in the last story sirius gets hit with ice magic (same thing that killed polaris) i think we should talk about that more
