Long in-depth ramble about this piece under the cut

There’s a twofold meaning in this piece, which I think ties together nicely in the end! TLDR: Wreg is dreaming under a spell, he is not the knight eluded to in the title this time Midsummer spells  as I am Finnish with no deep knowledge of Nordic paganism other than traditions I’ve grown up with, so I can’t say broad statements of midsummer spells (I know other countries have them too, but I’m only talking of mine own lived experience here!). These spells are supposed to be done during the night of midsummer eve – often naked and often with intention of finding answers in amorous matters. The spell Wreg has performed here is a very famous one: pick 7 different flowers from 7 different meadows, put them under your pillow and you’ll see a dream of your spouse-to-be. But why these specific flowers?  In Wreg’s hair are red clover and sneezewort, which symbolize luck and courage. In his hand is yellow toadflax and blindeyes symbolizing joy, vitality, and dreams. The ginger knight, who is an unknown man shrouded by his visor and armour is holding oxeye daisy for purity of heart and innocence. With it are paired two flowers well-known for their tie with death: tansy and blue cornflower – other used as a burial flower to repel smells and other things, and other as a memorial flower for fallen. So what does this all mean? Wreg is a hopeless romantic of a man, who might not believe in spells but still performed one on midsummer eve hoping to see if there is someone for him waiting to love and cherish him. What he doesn’t realize in his overwhelming joy is that his dream depicts a man long gone. He was a knight, who unfortunately fell in battle. Other possibility is that he wished so ardently to see a man of his dreams, that he conjured someone who seems to share similarities with a knight he used to have a crush on as a young man (he really did have an awakening while watching a particular ginger knight jousting). For personal note; I enjoy still life symbolism a lot, which was an inspiration here. I’m also currently reading through Whose Middle Ages? (2019), where I thought Bleeke’s analysis on knights, armor, and masculinity was an eye-opener and has stuck to me.

ethics of making AI images aside, I do find a bit amusing the kinds of sob stories and mental gymnastics people make up to pretend like drawing is this super technical skill with an impossibly high barrier of entry when its like one of the first hobbies toddlers pick up

suddenly a lot of people think they got the next Lord of the Rings in their head but they were never able to turn their stories into anything tangible because the evil elitist artists are hogging all the talent and skill and they need a bajilion years of training or something as if one of the most popular manga and anime of the past decade wasn't made by a guy that draws like this
