Hwei's Connection To The Surrealism And Impressionism Art Era
â°ââ¤Hwei's connection to the Surrealism and Impressionism art era

In the article "CHAMPION INSIGHTS: HWEI" it says the following: âThereâs more than meets the eye for someone like him,â adds Lonewingy. âYou donât know that there are beautiful things happening in his mind and how he sees reality. That's impressionism. And how he combines fiction and reality, like realistic experience and also imaginationâthat's surrealism.â

I found that very interesting. I thought about it more and realized that there are many parallels in Hwei's design and personality to the art era of Impressionism and Surrealism.
Hwei embodies elements of both Surrealism and Impressionism in his design and personality. The article mentions that Hwei combines fiction and reality, similar to the artistic movement of Surrealism. Surrealism sought to explore the realm of the unconscious mind and merge dreamlike elements with reality, which aligns with Hwei's ability to manifest his imaginative visions through his paintings.

Furthermore, Hwei's artistry and expressive style are reminiscent of Impressionism. Impressionism focused on capturing fleeting moments and the play of light and color, which is reflected in Hwei's dynamic. The article describes Hwei's power as being fueled by his own artistic expression, drawing a parallel to Impressionist artists who aimed to convey their subjective impressions and emotions through their artwork.
Hwei's art serves as a means for him to navigate his deep sorrow and inner turmoil. The article also describes him as a character who has experienced major loss but has emerged as an artist, not as a cynic or avenger. Impressionism, with its emphasis on capturing emotions and subjective experiences, provides a fitting artistic style for Hwei to express and process his complex feelings.
Surrealism aimed to tap into the subconscious mind and explore the depths of human emotions, while Impressionism celebrated the artist's individual interpretation of the world.

I believe the creators of Hwei's character drew conscious inspiration from the Surrealist and Impressionist art movements. It is my strong conviction that Hwei's artistic style bears resemblances to both Surrealism and Impressionism.
During his time in the temple, I anticipate that his art might reflect an Impressionist aesthetic, in accordance with the expectations of the temple masters. Hwei's paintings may bear similarities to the works of renowned artists such as Auguste Renoir and Claude Monet. Subsequently, after leaving the temple, it is likely that Hwei explored the realm of Surrealism in his art, as opposed to continuing with Impressionism. Surrealism, being markedly distinct from "traditional" art, likely provoked displeasure among the temple masters of that era. Furthermore, it is plausible that Hwei also has an affinity for Impressionist-style painting. If we delve into the historical context, we find that Impressionism emerged as a counter-movement to the prevailing "traditional" art of its time.
Hwei's lore alludes to his inability to freely express his own artistic vision. The temple masters consistently restrained him, emphasizing the need to conform to academic rules and limiting his self-expression in art.

In Surrealism, the night motif is often associated with mysterious and dreamlike imagery. Again: Surrealist artists sought to explore the realm of the unconscious mind and tap into the depths of imagination, and the night served as a symbolic backdrop for these explorations. It is during the night that the boundaries between reality and the fantastical blur, allowing for the manifestation of strange and unexpected visions.
During his time at the temple on Koyehn, Hwei secretly indulged in his true passion for painting. Fascinated by his intense imagination and fearful of his own power, Hwei would retreat to the solitude of the night to express his emotions and explore the depths of his creativity. It is in these clandestine moments that he would create his artworks, which likely took on a surrealistic style.
Surrealistic paintings often feature juxtapositions of seemingly unrelated objects, dreamlike landscapes, and distorted or fantastical figures. Hwei's secret nighttime creations may have embodied these elements, as he sought to merge fiction and reality, infusing his art with his deep emotions and personal experiences. Through surrealist techniques, Hwei could convey the complexity of his inner world and communicate his unique perspective on reality.
Hwei, with his brooding nature and intense artistic drive, embodies the essence of a surrealist artist.

I rather think that Hwei tended to paint Surrealist paintings after the massacre in the temple. The Surrealists, in our real world, were against rigid norms and habits, against logic and pragmatism - just like Hwei. They demanded that the unconscious, the repressed, such as dreams, intoxication, desires and visions, should no longer be ignored. People should free themselves from taboos. The Surrealists identified with a new, higher reality: surreality. The artists of Surrealism aimed to create a higher reality, the "supra-real", and to expand people's consciousness.
I see a lot of Hwei's views in this!

Hwei's exploration of Surrealism following his departure from the temple evoked parallels to the genesis of the Surrealism movement. This artistic movement was significantly shaped by the impact of war, which not only influenced its development but also fueled a profound fascination among Surrealists with mental illness and its intricate ties to creativity. It is striking to witness how Hwei harnesses his own traumatic encounters, employing art as a means to provide solace and healing to fellow survivors in Koyehn.
The horrors of war have indeed been a major influence on Surrealism artists, as they grappled with the traumatic experiences and sought to explore the connection between mental illness and creativity - similar to Hwei.

I appreciate your insightful analysis of Hwei's character! You make a compelling case that elements of his backstory and personality lend themselves to a yandere interpretation. The trauma of having to hide his true artistic talents, combined with Jhin's betrayal, could indeed foster abandonment issues and an intense, obsessive form of love.
Your depiction of Hwei desperately wanting to be with his darling but restraining himself out of fear of being "toxic" rings true to his brooding, self-critical nature. Keeping his feelings privately expressed through disturbing art seems a plausible coping mechanism. And should his control slip, revealing his dark side, the potential clinginess and suffocating protectiveness you described fits his desire to never feel abandoned again.
He clearly has a need for validation! Despite his talent, Hwei doubts himself constantly as an artist. He may seek constant reassurance and approval from loved ones to ease his self-criticism.
Hwei had to keep his true artistic talents secret for fear of hurting others. This could have made him feel lonely and misunderstood. Seeking deep connection may now be very important to him.
I appreciate you sharing your insights - it's given me new perspectives to consider in understanding Hwei's character. Your writing clearly demonstrates a nuanced understanding of Hwei, and I look forward to any future interpretations.
I'm absolutely thrilled about your Yandere Hwei content! I also see Hwei as a typical Yandere character.
There is hardly any Yandere content about Hwei and I think that's a shame. Anyway, I'm happy that someone is writing more about Yandere Hwei now.
Hwei is such a Yandere because >>>> His obsessive focus on his art could transfer into an obsessive focus on a romantic partner. He would devote all his time and talents to painting portraits and creating works of art inspired by his love.
His intense imagination and emotional nature mean he feels emotions very deeply. A romantic love could consume him entirely, and he might become possessive and jealous if he felt someone was threatening his relationship. (I also like that aspect of your content when Hwei killed the reader's ex!)
Meeting Jhin at the temple opened Hwei's eyes to a dangerous side of passion and expression. This could influence how he approaches love - with an uncontrollable intensity that scares even himself.
After the trauma of Jhin's betrayal, Hwei might seek to exert more control over any future close relationships. A yandere tendency could emerge if he feels he's losing control over the object of his affection. He'd do anything to prevent being hurt again.

OMG THAT MEANS ALOT HOLY ESPCIALLY COMING FROM YOU!! đđđ I LOVE YOUR WRITING SO MUCH HELP AAA
ALSO TW YANDERE SHENANIGANS WITH A SMIDGE OF NSFW UNDER THE CUT and me just babbling so not the best writing đĽ
But Hwei is so incredibly Yandere coded.... he's so obsessive and feels so intensely even just excisting so when he's hit with the truama of growing up knowing he has to hide his powers from the masters; Jhin planting his seeds of disater not only phsyically but emotionally and mentally as well, really caused hwei to have a distorted sense of love in any aspect ( also I didn't hear much about Hweis parents either so I think he might have MAJOR abondonment issues right from the get go...)
And it's why I wrote it from a point of veiw where Hwei DESPRATELY wants to be with his darling but keeps himself distant, knowing how toxic and borderline horryfying his love for his darling is. hed dare not ruin what he already has with them so he has to practice EMMENSE restraint when he's around them to not completely off put his muse...
but he then immediately goes back to his studio and depicts his intense feelings for you in the only way he knows how to. That feels somewhat safe, keeping you safe from him. and omg the way I was so inspired by the part in your fic where hands literally come forth from the canvas and reach out to the reader and what if the same thing happens here. Where his muse is so curious about Hwei's work but even after so many times denying them entry to his secret quarters, he eventually caves and lets them in. Only the finest pieces on display and anything deemed unfit or inappropriate were deeply hidden. You were completely oblivious to the romantic and sensual paintings that are vaguely similar to the both of you but you pay it no mind. until hands that look identical to Hweis but have a much needier and unrestrained touch end up having a vice grip onto you. Causing Hwei himself to panic at the fact that his calm and 'nice guy' facade is slipping, along side revealing Hweis true nature to you (thank god the hentai was hidden dont wanna get dicked down from the canvas and not him id think he'd explode! The way he'd snap that canvas over his knee so quick oop)
And if and when (I feel it is a matter of when not if, Hweis the kind of guy I feel to not give in so easily he will fight for you! Literally people are dying!!) He has, you can tell just how clingy he is and how he wants to monitor your every move. How that once minuscule feeling of being watched as multiplied tenfold. How his once soft and somewhat awkward embrace has turned into an almost suffocating grip
If you need to be somewhere, Hwei goes with you no questions, not buts, He will cancel any plans just to be at your side at all times. The only time he does leave your side is if theres someone he needs to 'take care of' or if he needs to express himself
You're one of the first people in his life to unconditionally love him for all the aspects he chooses to show you, and if you think he's going to let anything or anyone get in the way of that you're sorely mistaken. Like the sad wet cat he is, you picked him up off the rainy road, cleaned him up, and gave him a new life. He so desperately clings onto your love, your warmth and anything you're willing to give him, Only driving his delirious obsession further. Hwei wants to explore every aspect of love with you while trying to push back the darkness that lingers within him, not daring to let that darkness come to light and potentially ruins the love he worked so hard to obtain!!

You make an insightful point about Hwei's visual design choice to cover one eye. There are certainly additional layers of symbolism this could represent.
Another interpretation could be that Hwei's covered eye represents his immersion in his own imagination or delusion. It suggests that he sees the world differently from others, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. The covered eye could symbolize his inclination to escape into his artistic visions and the power of his imagination.
Hwei's one eye being covered might also signify an inner conflict between his rational side and his emotional or creative side. The covered eye could represent his struggles with balancing logic and reason with his deep artistic expression. It suggests that Hwei is torn between conforming to societal expectations and fully embracing his unique artistic vision.
One eye being visible shows his willingness to share parts of himself, while the other remains hidden, hinting at aspects he still guards closely. This dichotomy parallels his struggle to balance control over his abilities with creative freedom of expression.
As a respected member of his community but also a harbinger of great power, Hwei may metaphorically separate these sides of himself. The covered eye could suggest an enigmatic quality intended to keep others guessing as to his true nature.
OMG WAAAIIIT
Do you think the fact that Hwei has one eye covered is a hint to having one side of him seeing the light and the other side of him being shroud in darkness
Or one side in reality and one side in imagination /delusion???
