Paths to Bliss

Thoughts and explanations under cut

This all started with a connection between the events of the Golden Dream and insects stuck in amber for thousands of years (the beloved golden sky that appears when the golden gem is formed also looks like cracked amber, finally freeing something that was vaulted for a good reason). Thus, the first frame was born, S3 Mugm and Wyll staring into the eyes of S2 Mugm and Wyll.

There is something utterly fascinating about creatures so well preserved you expect them to fly. They look alive to a point you almost wish they were unaffected by the predicament you found them in. But you are thousands of years too late to save them. (cough cough isn't that familiar)

Then, the poem emerged, and with it – a desire to make it a 4-piece series. Amber is a very funny stone because it comes from something alive that just froze one day, and therefore is not a traditional Gem. Other gem-wannabe stones that were once living also include fossils, (dead) corals and pearls. All illustrations besides the last include them, circling back on P32's idea that this server corrupts people, in this case through a desire of the living to become a gem. They never fully succeed but they die trying.

Second page is Silva finding true bliss with Q; it is the escape from the stone, from the system that turns you into one. However, it is the only page that is fully contained within the black border. Also, if we imagine Silva getting out of that cave and escaping the ever-surrounding stone, we can see that there are still stone pillars towering above the cherry trees.

Dol9hin and Stormz find their bliss amidst a typhoon. Well, try to. The coral reef is dead, there are eels everywhere, and the only pearl they can get is still stuck inside a dead mollusk. (there is more to this one but thats a story for another day)

Finally, the last piece, one that is not bound to any stone. It is actually fully about trying to break it. Here, in the middle of a massive battle, while everyone is blinded by the sun and the desire to win and to gain something, a humble raccoon casts a shadow on one of the soldiers, freeing him from the heat. A shadow that has no "real" influence on this world somehow makes a knight reconsider his ways, offering him the ability to see how blind everyone else is, both in the setting of the illustration and metaphorically.

There are smaller things that I don't want to write down because I am sleepy, forgetting proper english and wish to rest (besides, having everything delivered to you on a silver platter is a little boring. I love this series of illustrations and I will be over the moon if even one person finds something in it for themselves)

[torchdaisies]

this is a sort of retrospective on some of silva's character traits and how that ties into how he views quakitus :P sort of already outdated because the elephant is addressed in the very stream I reference at the end but I've been thinking about it alot anyway! sooooo here

I. SILVER MEDALS

silva idolizing and putting people on a pedestal is something he's been doing for a while lowkey. I wouldn't exaaactly say it's an inferiority complex, moreso a result of silva's 'solid A-tier' pvper status compared to pvpers considered better than him (wail, arcn, mugm, to an extent stormz although that one's more character-based than skill-based). I've personally been using the term '2nd place syndrome' to refer to this—silva doesn't think particularly lowly of herself, they know their worth and what their place is in this world and that is Exactly the problem. because of his objective position of good-but-not-the-best, 2nd place, there is Always someone above her, someone more skilled, more important, more purposeful. someone to directly compare herself to.

this also tends to land silva in the position of being used as a weapon/asset in teams—strong enough to be good in a fight, but not strong enough to stand on her own.it's happened enough to him across multiple teams that he's grown so sick of it that he would rather be ostracized by and isolate from the whole server than continue to exist like that

II. PROTECTOR BORN FROM GUILT

I CAN however say that silva absolutely has a protector complex LOL while I do think it is linked to his skill, I personally believe that their protector complex stems more from Guilt and Obligation. the guilt is rooted all the way back in S1 if u deep it. but even in just S3 there's silva leaving friendship for the first time that leaves an ache of guilt in her for a long time only ever emphasized again and again as nearly every other team silva joins after that point ends up falling apart somehow. the unshakeable feeling that it was all her fault, maybe none of this would've happened if only she didn't leave. even if he did originally leave with the goal to protect them from afar, it wasn't enough—they needed him by their side, and he wasn't there

it's kind of a weird feedback loop, in that silva feels obligated to protect people because it's what he truly wants to use their limited strength to do, and because if he doesn't (if he fails), then he truly is useless. a failure to protect someone might as well be the same as killing them herself, adding onto the feeling of guilt—a guilt that is only as effective as it is because silva is like one of the most empathetic people on the server—that keeps her trapped in this mindset

III. THE LIGHT THAT BLINDS YOUR EYES

silva's dynamic with quakitus is (was? as of writing this post we haven't seen what silvas behavior on the server looks like post-relapse test) is a combination of both silva's tendency to put people on pedestals above specifically herself (a pedestal so high that multiple times throughout the relapse test, silva expresses the sentiment of "it feels wrong to speak/think ill of quakitus at all") AND her borderline self-destructive protector complex. quakitus is silva's second chance to actually succeed in protecting someone, to make up for his mistakes in team friendship. and in addition to That, quakitus is also their only chance left this season. because silva is so aware of their position on the server, because silva is so aware that they'd get reduced right back to just being another number in a fight on any other team/alliance (and she simply cannot Stand feeling like that anymore), quakitus is the only person left that is WORTH protecting, and that only amplifies everything even more

quakitus is the culmination of it all, the purest form of someone 'above' silva. in the presence of a star this bright, silva cannot help but be ashamed of her own, only above-average self. and thus, she has no choice but to devote herself entirely.

the light is blinding.

WHATS 4+4?? ATEEE

[quakitus]

What do you think bliss!Q wouldve worn in previous eras of the server, like through different events and the different teams and like mental headspaces

Also do you think progs would affect anything?

BIIIGGG GASP OKAY ROUND 2 LETS GO BY TEAMS

FRIENDSHIP SQUAD

veeery casual, airy outfits

DRESSESSS

probably the same kinda vibes as the summer fit but more themed around missing textures as hes still pretty new to the server

big hoodies that most other teammates end up wearing instead

friendship bracelet showing to the whole wide world :D

FRIENDSHIP SQUAD post silva

alot more duller/lighter outfits

still swears she wears dresses often but is usually lying as they take alot more effort to wear than casual clothing

occasionally she has stolen the scarf but snuck it back in time for nobody to notice

ends up picking at the little beads in the friendship bracelet due to the distance felt within q and the rest of the team

hogs every sortve hoodie/jacket

hair is fuuully unkempt and neglected

FRIENDSHIP REFORMED

back to sunshine and happyness

still hogs the hoodies but mainly for the fact that it reminds her of everyone instead of the comfortability

dresses are back in play life is good

probably ended up helping silva with the chipped pieces of his bracelet while he was gone whilst also somewhat putting hers back together

fully stealing the scarf at times when it gets cold (or just in general)

hair would be fully braided and well done

MESA

this is where we start to change ish up a bit

no more hoodies, jackets or dresses. mainly just big baggy pants paired with a thin shirt that wont get in the way of any sorta work shes got going on

some sortve mask or cloak to battle the temperature and conditions of the place she had to adjust to after spending so long with friendship

this arc was all about goals and the drive to get shit done so id definitely say she almost always has some sortve stain or patch of dirt or just blood stained someone after a fight or whatever she was doing (think sorta hastume from mha)

speaking of, her hair would still be treated just as well as before but definitely just fully out, hair ties are genuinely nonexistent

keeps a bunch of different items in a little satchel at her side (spyglass, friendship bracelet, raindrops) and the mesa compass right next to it

big boots and big gloves accompanied by less-bracelets more-wristbands with member corresponding colors

not gonna make a separate part on nuf and nezo leaving but the only difference is both of their wristbands would come straight back off and q would occasionally wear the friendship bracelet in guilt than nostalgia

GILDED

the main outfit would make its main mark here taking on a more golden approach in its accent colors giving a more sophisticated and regal look

much more jewelry to the point where q would end up even putting the friendship bracelet in her shulker, never letting it see the light of day for a whiiiile

her hair would be alot more straightened and done up in ways she never used to like all that much but if it meant being more intimating and looked upon in a better light then it had to be done

dresses would funnily enough actually come back but would take a more completed form instead of only using the parts she loved in combination with the outfit she was wearing. Though the dresses would be more accustomed to fighting than any sortve cosmetic value

towards the end however q would opt to wear her own things and let her hair down alot more often which would always follow a question of some sorts

S.O.S

funnily enough i actually ended up making an outfit for this that i still like alot to this day

most of the flowers at that point instead of reflecting the meanings, reflected the experiences she had gone through on teams that lead her to where he is now

both the sos band and friendship bracelet come back into swing

the pants and shirt from mesa q ended up wearing to sorta commemorate that period of time where she felt like she had an active team of 4 that supported her again instead of team inactivity

a hoodie that she ended up leaving friendship with wrapped around her waist

and last but not least a button up shirt lezy ended up lending to him while they were mining out the area for the osc

also of these events and teams dont like up with actual server events but for a clearer story i like to think alot more with the osc stuff happened whilst i was on sos instead of having to explain the 300 lore talks we had while i was on the verge of leaving

TORCHBLOSSOM...

honestly even more casual than friendship squad, no vest, no insane amounts of work doing up her hair just casual and free to do whatever

a combination of every other team but in a more separate way than sos, youd see more aspects of mesa one day while youd see alot more aspects of gilded on another (mainly just trying on outfits seeing what she likes and doesnt)

youd usually see her covered in flowers after a while either from playing in them or clumsily tripping over something buried in the gigantic flower field

friendship bracelets back to where it was originally with extra tiiiny little trinkets marking other teammates she still holds closely (nezo, alrey, the GOAT naparizel)

her hair is in maaany many different styles, even teaching silva to how to braid hair at some point so it wasnt so difficult in the mornings

still wears that same hoodie from so long ago that she kept the whole time

IRIS

very expressive and prettier outfits focused on whatever made him feel the best in that moment instead of what was most comfortable

steals a decent amount of silvas accessories (and yes the hoodie was most likely his) and pairs them with outfits that fit the same vibe

slight hints of fantasy kind of vibe with lighter clothes and she looks like fuckin link from zelda idk

hair isnt done up perfectly nor is it completely ignored, mainly asking silva to braid it as "its alot easier when someone else does it instead" (shes fully lying but its messy and its pretty and she loves it :D)

FINALLY tapping into the more floral side of the design, giving off flower girl sorta vibes whilst still retaining the same vibes he aims to give off

i personally like to think there was a day where they made flower crowns for eachother but that may just be my inner farmer iwl LMAO

anyways hope this isnt too long and sorry if i kinda get too caught up in it i love talking about this kinda stuff and its kindve a way i get to tell little pieces of stories about this character 😭 so yea sorry if its corny i hope you enjoy anyways bye bye :D
