the most pretentious not-meme possible

[swordedpast]

This is not a meme. This is also not at all inspired by some kind of journey-to-the-center-of-the-mind plot I have planned for February.

Spoilers: only one of the above statements is correct.

Here's the question: are your characters plagued by any particular sort of symbolism? Is there certain imagery that recurs for them in canon? Ramble about what themes thread through their writing if you like. Turn out some TL;DR about the metaphors and symbolic things involved in your characters! Yes, even if they're ridiculously blatant and heavy-handed. Or silly. Especially if they're silly.
