‘Romance’ has grown out of ‘allegory,’ and its wars are still derived from the ‘inner war’ of allegory in which good is on one side and various modes of badness on the other. In real life men are on both sides.'

There is a small but extremely choice collection of Spanish works. El Greco (1577-9) An Allegory, Velázquez (1618) An Old Woman Cooking Eggs & Murillo’s Personification of Summer (1640). The Old Woman is one of Velázquez’s earliest works.

It just hit me: "Matrix" was a in part a Trans allegory, and the original "The Little Mermaid" (written by a queer man) also had a lot of queer associations and themes of transformation.

Was "Thomas Anderson" a reference to "Hans Christian Andersen"?

“The correct response to uncertainty is mythmaking. It always was. Not punditry, allegory, or mandate, but mythmaking. The creation of stories. We are tuned to do so, right down to our bones.” —Martin Shaw

The original allegory of X-Men can be seen to conform to the concept of the “model minority” in abstract ways. Despite being definitive of the franchise, however, Claremont only rarely employed this foundational allegory, instead favouring a more fluid moral imperative. 1/9

never been good for allegory, but heres my two cents:

i believe the flowers we see here are cherry blossoms. the buddhist view on mortality is sometimes symbolized by these flowers. an ephemeral event and the brief span of life; things do not last eternally.
