Hey it’s my first pin with threefold bullet theme and I want to tell you about the deep lore
The text in the background is a changed part of a poem by Vladimir Nabokov
Farewell, my anguish and my ardor,
Farewell, my dream, farewell, my pain!
Along the paths of the old garden
We two shall never pass again
You should remember a point of using the word “ardor” because it’s pretty important if we try to understand the essence! So, the original was written in Russian
Когда, слезами обливаясь,
шептал я, с милой расставаясь,
прощай, прощай, моя любовь,
прощай, прощай, моя отрада,
мы по тропам заглохшим сада
“Ardor” means “Отрада” and this detail became the reason for the choice of modern translators of the novel “Ada or Ardor”. The final version of the Russian title is “Ада или Отрада”
I see a connection between “Ada” and threefold bullet because both are about complex relationships, tragic circumstances, a power of all kinds of art (sometimes too specific and difficult for perception), an eerie madness of really intelligent ambitious people and inc*st
Oh and the butterfly is also a reference to the scene from “Ada”! Butterflies are insects, and the word "insect" was first in the chain of anagrams (And there is a funny match with a popular headcanon)
Insect => scient (Daniil has a bachelor degree and he is scientist, so we can call him scient) => nicest (represent a beautiful and full of hope part of their interactions and unrealistic but sweet dreams about Utopia) => inc*st (do I have to explain this?)
If you want to make something you can use my picture for free! I drew this using a template for a pin with a diameter of 44 millimeters
P. S. Sorry for the mistakes, English isn’t my native language
