Wittebane Knife Overanalysis

Wittebane Knife Overanalysis

I’m obsessed with the duality of the knife between the Wittebane brothers, their own versions of the same item that they wield in literal conflict with one another… Wittebro uses his to carve a wooden mask for his little brother, cementing their bond; And likely to carve Flapjack, symbolizing a new choice of destiny away from being a witch hunter, his acceptance of the Boiling Isles. Wittebro’s knife is meant to create, it’s an artist’s tool;

But Philip’s. It’s jagged like a kris; This is a knife meant to kill. An assassin’s murder weapon, hidden away and not out in the open, unlike Wittebro’s openly-welcoming earnestness. But like Belos’ hidden identity and true murderous motives… It’s to cut into others and hurt; Destroy not create. And it’s used by Philip to reject his brother and the isles, to sever their bond via murder.

Wittebro’s knife cultivates and creates, while Philip’s kills and mutilates himself to gain power, carving glyphs into his flesh and his ears into a witch’s. Wittebro’s knife meanwhile aided in his Palisman carving, contributing to a Clawthorne tradition meant to empower others and help them choose their own identities, not have them decided by Belos as the Palismen are slain, not made.

Wittebro’s knife is straight-edged while Philip’s crooked; Perhaps reflecting their morals. His is smooth and efficient, to the point; It cuts as much as it needs to as a tool that even a kid can use. But Philip’s, the crooked edges are for fighting; Causing vibrations upon parrying that pain an opponent’s hand. Serrated edges meant to cut and tear through flesh, to cause maximum pain and suffering and drag it out, literally.

Both brothers are a knife in a sense, but in two opposite functions. A constructive tool VS a destruction weapon. Straight to the point, yet agonizing and hidden. One forged and reflected a bond, was used to empower others; The other broke a bond and reflected a murderer’s eyes, used to empower himself. An artist appreciates, while a killer hates and tears down. Wittebro’s gave, Philip’s took.

This is about Sci-Hub. yeah we get it.. gatekeep knowledge and protect the interests of capital…

Insider is creating a database to track queer representation in children's cartoons. I searched through it a bit and it's pretty cool. I wished it had some links to sources of confirmation to some of them and I'm not sure exactly how accurate it is, but it seems accurate enough at first glance. You can check it out yourself if you want.

Why does the croods 2 has so many "huh this kinda gay" scenes like...Why so fruity ancient people? Huh???

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!
