#maybe eventually

Tim, while he doesn’t take as many photos as he did as a kid, still likes to keep up with the hobby when he can. Which was meant to be a thing he could do to relax himself, but it recently has only led him to his current obsession. Finding the blurry silhouette that keeps showing up in his pictures.

Normally, Tim would have brushed it aside as blurs are normal things that happen. Especially when it comes to street photography. These were obviously different though because every other moving person/object is crystal clear, and it wasn’t just one photo either. It was every single one. It was almost impossible at this point for Tim to not fall down the rabbit hole of this mystery.

It had been weeks at this point and Tim was no closer to figuring out who was in his photos. He first thought this would be a simple thing. Check the city cameras and do a deep dive on the person. Except the figure appeared blurry even on camera.

Even worse is that it was somehow impossible to keep track of them. One moment they’re on camera and when flipping to the next to follow, they’re gone. It’s driving him so crazy that even the rest of the family is starting to notice.

hi uma musume nation . are we experiencing any emotions over this maybe

Idk what it is about this year but pretty much like the hour before 2026 arrived I found out about Orphism and specifically the story of Zagreus, Zeus' heir, being ripped apart by the titans and Athena saving his heart, which then becomes Dionysus. Obviously in the myth Dionysus is not reborn simultaneously as Zagreus dies but I think it's a neat idea to portray, at least symbolically. And obvs it involves cannibalism and well... its me. obviously id be into something with cannibalism

Zagreus wears a crown, symbolising his role as Zeus' heir, while Dionysus is already crowned with his horns and wreath of ivy and grapes. There's the simultaneous femininity of Dionysus' breasts right beside Zagreus' penis, a nod to the duality Dionysus has as arguably the most genderqueer of the gods, and also as a figure existing simultaneously in many contradictions like between death and rebirth. Zagreus has a halo, almost christlike in that manner, also a nod between the syncretism of Dionysus (and therefore Zagreus) with Jesus. The rays from his halo are golden, to symbolise the divinity contrasting with the redness of his insides as they are ripped apart and eaten.
