i’ve noticed that dragonflies are reoccurring a little bit too much for it to JUST be a stylistic choice. like most of them are white and they’re usually seen around guwon but wtf was up with that black one around ch3? i’m wondering if dragonflies have a unique symbolism/cultural significance? if anyone knows let ME know im dying over here also im like 100% sure guwon isn’t human. like he has white eyes when every other character has real human features. every other character has human eye colors except him… also those neck/ankle tattoos are so odd and specifically placed that they need to be important. also the whole opening doors into light? first chapter and when they first arrive at the town? also opening the door to the children leads to darkness? idk man maybe i’m reading too much into but… some parts seem really religious and mystical. mortality is an important theme here so i’m wondering if guwon is some death/life/afterlife figure? is he supposed to be sisphyus here? thr whole town could be “sisphyus” what with the pyramid layout and the importance on work.
WAIT A DAMN MINUTE. i’m putting money on guwon representing sisyphus. i forgot ab the whole town thing and chaining up thanatos. maybe guwon did something to “chain up death” like in the myth. it’d explain why no one is dying, just like in the myth. i’m wondering is the sisyphus importance isn’t in his most popular myth (the rock) but in him cheating death. also could explain guwon’s otherworldly looks.
how do manga authors think hair dye works? if u dye ur hair black from platinum blonde ur never getting the og hair color back. whatever, it’s just “manga magic”… still, it irks me.
