dollya asked: Can I ask you about the Karkat fanmix? Is it just like.. a compilation of songs that remind you of Karkat? Sorry, I just have been seeing a lot of fan mixes and I don't understand them!

Pretty much!  Sometimes people will structure their playlists so that the songs sort of tell a story, but sometimes they don’t.  It’s just silly fun.

Be the Leaf Amon

Here’s something disturbing/interesting I’ve noticed:

Compare how much Amon’s (and the chi benders’) evasive moves match with airbending moves.

I am not saying that he’s an airbender, but what if he had been an air acolyte? They are all non-benders as far as I know. And that Tenzin knows him and might have taught him.

Fun fact: Stalin got kicked out of Georgian Orthodox seminary, he also had scars on his face from small-pox

Not gonna lie: if Amon turns out to Tenzin’s big brother Bumi, I will be delighted

Amon’s Mask - Analyzed through Beijing Opera Symbolism

Beijing Opera uses the color and shape of the make-up the actor is wearing to give the audience a clear idea on what the portrayed person’s personality is.

If used in a play Amon’s mask would show us that he is a powerful villain; sinister, treacherous, without self-restraint and a false claim to spirituality. It is also implied that he has, or will, butcher people.

His mask consists of three basic colors: White, red and green.

White color base suggests sinisterness, treacherousness, suspiciousness and craftiness. Commonly seen on the stage is the white face for the powerful villain. It highlights all that is bad in human nature: cunning, craftiness, and treachery.

A green face tells the audience that the character is impulsive and violent and depicts surly stubbornness, impetuosity and a total lack of self-restraint.

A red circle means spirituality: In the center of the forehead is a red pearl-like object or nine dots, signs that the character has been initiated into Buddhist monkhood.But in a villain it means the opposite: A circle of light on the forehead to mock the eunuch’s claim to be a disciple of the Buddha.

Further: Take a close look at the shape of the eye make-up.Eye sockets shaped like kitchen knives symbolize butchery of the people.
