i know this is kind of an old drawing but my friend sent me this and i might start using bluesky again just for it,,,,i read the book recently myself and they drive me so crazy

beato being merciful to people who view her as merciful and heartless to those who view her as heartless -> something something symbol of the ushiromiyas' parental love that due to their upbringings manifests as various forms of abuse

"vergilius, the voice of human reason, can only guide dante until paradise, where he will be escorted by beatrice, the symbol of divine love" -> "without love it cannot be seen -> virgilia helping battler "understand" beato in a way ->

except reading huge chunks for several hours a day is probably bad for my reading comprehension,

same goes for people with proship dni or other similar puritan bullshit. we appreciate art in all forms in this house

ive already cried so many times but honestly maria crying to beatrice to bring her friends back really did it for me :(
