RED TASK: complete
Task: Talk about something that you think is beautiful. It can be an event, some music, or a picture - anything goes.
x What's this? An excuse to talk about Sound Horizon? Well don't mind if I do.
Pretty much everything put out by Sound Horizon is beautiful to me, though there are certainly some songs which sound more beautiful than others. Sound Horizon likes to focus on tragedies and deep connections between people and most importantly the presence of meaning in both life and death. "The Day I Shot My Lover" is a really classic Sanhora song that embodies all of these things. The two characters in the song met when the man protected the woman from a beast, becoming injured by the beast in the process. Legend tells that anyone injured by the beast will become a beast themselves. Even knowing this they couldn't help but fall in love with each other, and the man tells his lover that "if it's an inevitable demise, at the very least he should die by her hand". Granting her lover's last wish, the woman shoots him down with a flaming arrow (this is a reoccurring theme in sanhora but i digress) and kills him. In the end, wondering just "what kind of flowers would bloom in a world where my lover is dead", she shoots into the air and allows the arrow to fly down, killing herself as well.
It's a tragedy, but it's a love story as well. They knew that death would inevitably tear them apart no matter how much they loved each other. It's really sad, and honestly I wouldn't recommend emulating them, but I find beauty in tragic things.
Task: Turn in three cards featuring animals or creatures. These can be fictional ones, such as Pokemon or Digimon. You will lose these cards, and they have to be earned in March.
