HideKane Week 2020 Day 3: Angst | Sea of Tears | Strength
Here we have the Nagachika family during one of the triplets’ temper tantrums (as they’re like 3-4 years old). It’s not often that they happen, but when they do, there’s lots of tears (hence, “sea of tears”). The reason for the hysterics is because they keep hearing Kaneki say Hide is like the sun, and they took those words literally. So one night, the triplets ask if Hide could put the sun back in the sky so they could play some more. After Hide and Kaneki told them it wasn’t possible, the triplets didn’t take too kindly to that answer. They’ve been crying for over two hours. 。・゚゚*(>д<)*゚゚・。
Hide and Kaneki can’t really do much to console their children like they usually do, so they’re letting it take its course this time around and hoping for them to get tuckered out from all the crying–which eventually happens (and none of the children remember it the next day, lol).
I chose to draw a scenario like this because of what I was looking up about The Strength tarot card in the reversed position. This comes from Tarot.com:
“The Strength card reversed suggests that you are in a position where you have little power to affect behavior. No amount of modeling, persuasion or leadership will affect the out-of-control, untamed force that is set loose.
Subtleties are overlooked, and the inducements which have served in the past to reward order may meet with scorn. You may have to lay low and do what you can to preserve yourself, and let this upside down time blow over.”
I figured I’d zoom in on some parts of the picture so you can see it better. For example, the tears in the triplets’ eyes (as it’s difficult to see from afar). On the mugs, it’s written (from left to right, top to bottom): Kou (short for Kousei), Ayu (short for Ayumu), Yua, Mama (for Kaneki), and Papa (for Hide). I hope I used the right hirigana and katakana for them. ^^;;
And, as always, I have multiple versions of this that’ll be posted on my Pixiv! There are “lights on”, “lights off”, blue outline, true “sea of tears”, and Christmas ones with each having four versions depending on whether Kaneki or Hide’s eyes are opened or closed. Click here to see them all~!
