Hunt the hunter…

Peirce the heavens…

[deathtrap-01]

My MID headcanons:

Peirce became Asch's knight because he became "too soft" for Rhal. So Peirce became realy quite and hid his emotions way more but not many people nodised.

Leif and Zex was in the same clan before. That's why Leif knew Zex was dangerous.

Rhys was either I hige ranked noble and got a proper education and became an Advisor. Or he was a child slave that lady grandma took in.

Asch and Rhal were really good friends as children. When it was dicited Rhal was to be king and Rhal got more and more duties their relationship became non existent. Rhal barely ever thinks about his younger sibling.

Noi was just a normal peasant from the poor part of the capital. He has no education and can't write or read.

Ava found Johnny in a dumpster.

Leif originally could only phase but he sacrificed someone from his former clan to the got of life by accident. Then the God taught him how to heal.

In that episode were Lady bich found out that the last soule was gone she said "The God's still had to curse me." So it's canon that Daemos has multiple God's.

In the episode "who's the boyfriend" when Ava was at dinner with her parents they say something about finding her prince or princess. So Ava might be Bi or something.

In the episode "the date begins" when they hond hands Noi said "I've never tutched someone like this." Ava response with "Realy? Me neither." So both are probably virgins.

The end

Also, Asch is like my younger sister in what they both have done to the people around them.

Decoding Meaning: Comparing the Semiotic Theories of Saussure, Peirce, and Barthes

Semiotics—the study of signs and symbols—has shaped our understanding of language, meaning, and communication across disciplines. At the heart of this field are three foundational thinkers: Ferdinand de Saussure, Charles Sanders Peirce, and Roland Barthes. Each developed a unique framework for understanding how signs function, from Saussure's structural linguistics to Peirce's triadic logic of meaning to Barthes's analysis of cultural myths. This comparison unpacks their key concepts, showing how each theory offers a different lens for interpreting the world of signs around us.

1. Ferdinand de Saussure – Structural Linguistics

Key Concept: The Sign = Signifier + Signified

Signifier: the form of a word or image (e.g., the sound “tree” or the word "tree" on a page)

Signified: the concept it represents (e.g., the idea of a tree)

Arbitrariness: The relationship between signifier and signified is arbitrary (not natural or inherent).

Focus: Synchronic analysis (studying language as a system at a given point in time).

Model: Dyadic (two-part) sign model.

Systemic View: Meaning arises from differences between signs within a system (language is a structure of differences).

Example: "Dog" means what it does not because of an intrinsic connection to the animal, but because it’s not "cat," "log," or "dot."

2. Charles Sanders Peirce – Pragmatic Semiotics

Key Concept: The Sign = Representamen + Object + Interpretant

Representamen: the form the sign takes (like Saussure’s "signifier")

Object: what the sign refers to

Interpretant: the meaning derived in the mind of the interpreter

Focus: Triadic relationship between the three parts.

Types of Signs:

Icon: resembles the object (e.g., a portrait)

Index: directly connected (causal or physical) to the object (e.g., smoke = fire)

Symbol: arbitrary or conventional (e.g., language, traffic lights)

Example: A footprint (index) signifies a human was present, not by convention, but through physical connection.

3. Roland Barthes – Cultural Semiotics / Mythology

Key Concept: Denotation and Connotation; Myth as Secondary Signification

Built on Saussure’s ideas, but expanded them to cultural signs and ideology.

Denotation: literal meaning (first-order sign)

Connotation: cultural or emotional meanings (second-order sign)

Myth: When connotation becomes naturalized and seen as “common sense” (ideological)

Focus: How signs operate in mass media, advertising, fashion, politics, etc.

He shows how signs carry cultural values, often in ways that reinforce dominant ideologies.

Example: A photo of a soldier saluting the flag =

Denotation: a soldier saluting

Connotation: patriotism, honor

Myth: military = moral virtue, national pride (naturalized idea)

For day six, I actually have an OC (Kommai-Akeldama) who is a professional piercer and just gave her more piercings than I'd normally draw on her. (Small details are harder to remember, especially in bulk.) Not my best work, but I do like the shading.

Mare Crisium (”The Sea of Crises”) and craters (left to right) Swift, Peirce, and Picard // Toni Adrover

Mare Crisium is one of the lunar “sea” and the sites of the crash landing of Luna 15 in 1969 and the soft-landing of Luna 24 in 1976.

Swift crater is named after the American astronomer Lewis A. Swift (1820-1913), who discovered 13 comets and 1248 previously unknown nebulae, second only to British astronomer William Herschel.

Peirce crater is named after American mathematician Benjamin Peirce (1809-1880) who made discoveries in number theory and algebra.

Picard crater is named after the French astronomer Jean Picard (1620-1682), who measured the size of the Earth to within 0.44% of the modern accepted value!
