asking on anon cos it only sends asks from my main but it’s archivistorage here!! And yeah omg I loved the post about it sm I rly love Jon being associated with moth imagery but I rly kept stewing on the owls being associated specifically with the institute? Which will have been Elias’ own design choice anyway And there’s just.. such an Elias vibe there. Also like the way some owls will just eat a moth... Anyway
Yeah! Honestly even after I made that post I was thinking about Owl!Elias and Moth!Jon as separate monsters but it was more for the Aesthetic if anything else. I DID NOT consider that it suits Elias better because owls are the symbols of the institute and the institute IS Elias in the most literal sense, it’s a very good take and I like it a lot
Also, owls being predators and the fact that they DO eat moths is very good. I REALLY like animal symbolism and we really need more monster!Elias out there. There’s like hardly any. Also monster!Martin...maybe I just like monsters
(also the fact that you drew an owl-y face on your moth Jon’s wings...poetic cinema)
