He shouldn't have listened to Lucius, this nightclub thing is not for him. He's going back home right now. Although maybe he could give it another go...

Happy birthday month to Taika Waititi🦁🎉

——————————————————————————————— This is the first time I have colored and designed the picture in this way. I hope you like it. The following are some ideas and details. Ed's part: Overall based on the self-destructive tendencies in S2. He looks to the left (the past), where there are spiders that instinctively terrify him and a doll that emotionally saddens him. The inner candlelight of Ed at the end of S1 continues into the beginning of S2, also resembling the flame from the gun he used as Blackbeard to disrupt the wedding. The stone heart hanging by hemp rope on the left side of the frame comes from the stone that pulled him off the cliff, also serving as a manifestation of "hanging on." In the moment when Blackbeard signs the X with a quill pen, perhaps he wouldn't have thought that this might be the beginning of Edward Teach's long inner struggle.

Alamein's part: The trees that envelop him are based on the large trees from the film, but are sharper rather than the more embracing appearance seen in old photos or when the brothers were together. The background of the image is based on the introduction of Alamein's name in map form from the film. The wooden fence and glass bottles come from the cemetery. The hand with the LOVE tattoo in a punching pose, holding a sparkler, along with the simple stick figure of Alamein shedding tears, perhaps represents LOVE in three forms. The Māori cultural wood carving has been embedded with divine eyes, the symbol of the Crazy Horse, and the child's thoughts about grief and death have become part of the past. The scissors used to cut Boy's hair, in a conceptual sense, may have also cut apart Alamein's "treasure" and "POTENTIAL" (this word was drawn on the banknote), and these broken things are perhaps what the SHOGUN helmet cannot protect.

Viago's part: (Although judging from the room's wallpaper, the roses belong to Vlad) but the roses here come from the scene where he feeds on a human lady. Viago on the mobile phone is a visible part from the movie, while his full name exists separately at the far right of the frame, perhaps a difficult-to-discern past surrounding the shadows. The overall carved glass frame comes from the classic cup magic scene in the film. Here, the mirror is broken because of the metal above it, which is Viago's silver pendant—perhaps a burden. Although the scene where he introduces his backstory to the camera (audience) is relatively cute, that scene is followed by him playing the trumpet, which might be a form of Viago's cry out, hence the traffic signal here is also red, just like when Viago looks lonely at his lover's window. The dazzling sunlight, based on the video watched by the vampire on the computer, shines on the alarm clock showing 6:00. Because vampires ultimately stay in the shadows, Viago in the picture has his back completely to the sunlight, but, just like the beautiful, cute, and warm atmosphere of the movie, sunlight or the hope to continue existing always illuminates these wonderful vampires in some form.
