ARIES MY BELOVED
Seeing people talk about (what I'm fairly certain is) the wakizashi Vessel uses in the "The Love You Want" music video and I'm trying so hard not to jump in, because I think there's some neat little associations with the blade and the video's symbolism. I love Japanese swords and culture and would probably ramble until someone stopped me with a frying pan to the face.
Whoa, hi there, everyone! I was not expecting my notifs to explode. Um, let me just preface this with the following: I am certainly not an expert in any way and am always happy to be educated if I'm wrong, so take this ramble for what it is.
That being said, here's why I personally really like the inclusion of a wakizashi in TLYW music video.
There's a variety of swords that Japan has utilized for a number of purposes throughout history - be it ritualistic, for defense, as a status symbol, and so on - with the word katana probably being what most people think of when the topic comes up. Katana is actually the general word in Japanese for a single-edged sword, whereas the actual blade closest to resembling that word is uchigatana, and it's known for being a double-handed single-edged sword with a longer grip handle to accommodate both hands, often used for fights needing quicker response times like dispatching someone in a single blow. They are differentiated from (and technically originated from, I believe?) tachi, longer blades with a history of cavalry usage before fighting on foot, infantry, because more common, which helped make uchigatanas more widely-wised. Uchigatanas and tachi blades have an interwoven history with one another, as far as how they influenced styles being made, who used them, and so on.
Now with wakizashi blades, they kind of dance in between as far as sizes, ranging anywhere from as long as a katana (reaching up to 2ft/60cm) to being almost as small as another blade (as small as 1ft/30cm), called a tantou. Tantous are small blades typically reaching 1ft/30cm, easy to fit in the sash of a robe, and were used for anything from ceremonial purposes to ritual suicide. Tantous were often being used in as a pairing with tachi blades, having two different options for combat or other uses. This is similar to how people would eventually shift to using uchigatanas for their longer swords and wakizashis for their smaller swords as a pair as history went on, the style of fighting changed, and so on.
The reason I bring these different types up along with their connections to one another is because I want to say it can be easy to question which sword Vessel is using - especially with how tall he is, the scale might be a bit skewed as far as comparing it the length of the blades, not to mention there isn't many great shots of the blade unsheathed and not in use save for when he draws it.
I want to say it's a wakizashi.
Wakizashi blades specifically were used for close-quartered fighting, like if you were indoors or in a narrow area where your larger blade would only get stuck in walls, obstacles, you name it. Fitting with the narrative of the video, with Vessel seemingly repeating this cycle over and over, wakizashis are also used for when the wielder feels like they're at a disadvantage, when they're trying to get close enough to deal a killing blow and live to fight another day. He's clearly done this before based off the sheer numbers of ribbons tied onto the tree at the start and finish of the video, and how the main dancer has the ribbon and is the one to dispatch him. I want to say as well that the blade's grip is small enough for only single-handed usage, especially based on the image here, whereas if Vessel used a uchigatana it'd probably look a little funny considering how he fought.
Wakizashi and tantou blades are unique as well in that they were used for ritualistic suicide, or seppuku - small enough to do the job correctly, so to speak (which for those curious, feel free to read up on how that's done.) Given that he seems to be taken over in the end, it's hard to say how willing Vessel was in that action - if he did it to preserve some honor, to prevent himself from being tormented by the dancers and by Sleep, or if it was just a forced end to repeat the cycle. There's no denying that he's stuck, at a disadvantage that death seems to be the only cure for - regardless of any metaphors found in the lyrics.
Additionally, the overall environment reminds me - (and I preface this with saying I am using this comparison with nothing but respect) - a bit of Aokigahara as well, a forest in Japan known for those passing there by suicide. Sometimes those there will leave markers as a way to add on counters or as a reminder to change their minds while contemplating. (The ribbons also remind me of ceremonial offerings for purification, but that's another ramble and as you can see, I'm probably not as organized I should be with this one.)
But yes, given the blade's size and how Vessel uses it both for fighting and for repeating the cycle, and with how you can relate it to the video's narrative, I really want to say it is a wakizashi blade.
If I can think of anything else I'll be sure to add on, since I didn't really plan this out, and anyone else is welcome to jump in and share what they know (or please correct me if I'm wrong.) But, um, I hope this was interesting, at the very least!
(Tagging @a-s-levynn as your post inspired this, and @thejawsoffate and @moonchild-in-blue for the additional encouragement; hope that's okay! Thanks, too, for everyone interested. It means a lot to me.)

the blog killing axolotl is one of my favorite things that has ever happened on this website because talking about it afterwards sounds like an inside joke or perhaps a prank. like always be on the lookout for the blog killing axolotl. he can kill your blog. it happened to me once trust me.
there’s this very specific image of an axolotl plushie with the phrase ‘i am at my limit’ that i’m not posting for obvious reasons (even though i’m inoculated because i tried to post it before) that if you try to post it tumblr will immediately delete your blog. like completely. your blog is just gone if you try to post the image. you can get it reinstated but you have to go to staff and be like ‘hi my blog was killed by a picture of an axolotl can you please give me it back.’ we found this out completely accidentally when brianna brucespringsteendotcom made the image and then posted it and then her blog was just gone, at which point we started to experiment. anyway, a while later we found that if someone submits the image and you don’t know what it is and you try to post it it will also nuke your blog. this obviously all sounds like an incredibly stupid internet hoax so when you try to warn people about the blog killing axolotl you just sound like you’re trolling but i promise you, from the bottom of my heart, that we are not.
people in the tags are like ‘i don’t know if this is true but it sounds wild’ i feel like the old man you meet in the first five minutes of a horror movie that tells the teenagers on spring break not to visit the creepy old house at the end of the road
FAQs:
1. Is this the image of the axolotl plushie with the fire behind it?
NO! that is a different, more well known axolotl image that does not delete your blog.
2. Can I see the image?
for obvious reasons i'm not reblogging it to this post. however, since so many people asked, i put it safely in a google doc for you. go nuts.
3. hey, i remember this! it was over a year ago. does this still delete your blog?
someone in my askbox has informed me, under certain circumstances, yes. and that image is live, so be careful with it.
4. have you figured out what causes it?
same person in my askbox said this
which was my first theory before i went down the source code rabbit hole, although there must be a certain threshold for editing it since in the past people have posted censored versions where it still deletes your blog.
5. can i use it as my icon/can i send it to someone in dms/can i upload it if it's not in a post/can i post an edited version of the picture?
back when this first happened if you did any of the above it deleted your blog, unless it was pretty heavily edited (someone in my discord put him behind bars - you know like he was caged - and i think when we uploaded that it didn't delete the person's blog? i could be wrong though). see the above ask for the most recent information. someone in the notes earlier (don't remember who, sorry) also said that you can upload the original via mobile and it kills your blog, but if you try to post it on desktop it blocks it from being uploaded, so that's also another route you could go if you want to experiment.
6. why have i never heard about this before?
spnblr is more complex and layered than you can possibly imagine it's not my fault you can't see it for the majesty it is.
7. this still sounds fake.
hey man, weird thing to lie about. but the picture and all the information you need to test it out is right here. post it to your blog. go on. prove me wrong. 🙂
8. didn't people try to remotely delete neil gaiman's blog by submitting that image to him?
we did do that yeah.
I’m here because a text to speech with subway surfers tiktok stole this post with no credit.
hi. op here. what.
Hi. Original victim of the image here. What
this is an SCP
It’s sad John Seed headcanon/theory time! Sad because it’s about his traumatic childhood and his scars, both physical and mental…
So, according to The Book of Joseph, the Seed brothers were regularly beaten by their father, who generally used his belt to do it, so their backs were (and most likely still are) badly scarred. In fact, it’s precisely because John’s teachers saw the marks on his skin that they called child protective services and that the boys were removed from their parents. Unfortunately, as we know, their suffering didn’t stop there… For John in particular, “the worst was yet to come”, as Joseph wrote, since his adoptive parents tortured and deeply traumatized him.
Because of everything he experienced as a child, I personally believe that, aside from being emotionally immature, John struggles with intimacy and has trust issues. I imagine he doesn’t like physical contact unless he initiated it, knows he’s in control of the situation, or really trusts the person touching him. And for the reasons previously mentioned, I also think he’s particularly uncomfortable with the idea of people touching his back.
There are scars he doesn’t hide, some he even seems to wear proudly (like the one on his chest, even though it was never clearly explained), but I think there are others he hates. The belt marks, especially, must only bring back painful memories... So what if at least some of John’s tattoos were designed to cover up those scars he doesn’t want the world to see? What if they’re not just an esthetic choice and also a way for him to reclaim ownership of his body, to mark it how he pleases so he can be in full control of it again?
I like to imagine he has a large tattoo on his back and that it’s the first one he got. I picture an angel because I think it’s thematically consistent… and also because you can easily hide scars in the feathers.
It’s his guardian angel, in a way; no other demon can brand him now.
sorry i'm so shy, i got into fc5 recently so i'm a bit of a baby fan, and even more of a baby-very-deeply-and-madly-in-love-with-John fan, but after seeing your analysis on his death scene, I looked a bit closer and I'm inclined to agree that John pulls the key off of himself, for two reasons:
first, it's so slight, but dep adjusts their grip on the key immediately after he cough wheezes, they're still holding onto it, but they attempt to slack the cord by untwisting it slightly, John grips their wrist tighter in response (sound cue),
second/third, dep's hand moves towards John and you don't see dep's grip on the key change, but you do see dep's fist move out rather than in, and I imagine that natural movement would cause most people to pull something away at something by curling their wrist in a little + you hear the grip sound cue again and dep's hand goes towards him and his body doesn't follow it before the key is ripped off. John is also the one who pushes off of dep's wrist as he releases them, and dep automatically rebounds their arm back to its held position instead of pulling back if they were exerting any more strength against him rather than just holding him up to the position that he had propped himself in.
These realizations have been devastating the me community
I agree! It’s because of some of the details you pointed out that I started questioning who ripped the key off John’s neck after years of believing it was the Deputy.
But thanks to @vvvyzt, who posted this GIF, I think we can now say that it was in fact John who did it!
It’s been two weeks and I’m still thinking about this a lot...
