Ariane and Elster, smiling and dancing together
Ariane and Elster dancing and smiling together
work in progress painting of a dress
ARIANE I wish I had eight arms like an octopus so that I could touch you everywhere at once. ELSTER ... That's horrifying.
Elster sitting with a relaxed pose
Three Kolibris (From left to right: Zinthe, Narz, and Lilie) sit around a living chair with books.
Ariane and Elster lying in bed. Elster is sleeping, clinging onto Ariane while Ariane looks at her with a serene smile.
Art program screen with a drawing of Ariane (SIGNALIS) alongside a vase of lilies and a couple of butterflies. A song from "to hell with it" by PinkPantheress is playing on a music program.
Elster (SIGNALIS) work in progress fanmade design
ELSTER Transmission from Heimat? ARIANE Ugh. Yeah. Received this morning. ELSTER You don't sound pleased, Officer. ARIANE They're insulting the lab they had you arrange! This research could've been done on Leng! Why insist us scouts do it, and then complain it's not something a researcher would've done?! ELSTER ... May I see it? ARIANE Sure, knock yourself out.
Ariane laying in the grass with Elster holding her face and neck (SIGNALIS). She is beaming. A white lily glows where Elster's hand meets her neck.
Elster laying her head on Ariane's lap (SIGNALIS). She is asleep. A white lily glows on her right eye.
Ariane and Elster (SIGNALIS) dancing happily together. The background is a closeup of them, an imminent kiss. The picture is framed by bright blue forget-me-not flowers.
Fan comic of Ariane and Elster from Signalis. Ariane approaches Elster with a mug of coffee. She is not innocuous. "Heh, Elster. You wouldn't kiss me for $1000, would you?" Elster takes a bite out of her sandwich. "Where would I get the $1000 for that?" To which Ariane coughs loudly and shrinks out of embarrassment. Elster calls her, "Officer Yeong?!" concerned.
Elster looking nervous, scratching her face + several chibi-fied versions of herself.
The placement of lilies in each corner of the image is a reference to the rose frames in Revolutionary Girl Utena. While usage of the frames in the show itself could have a dozen different meanings, I chose to pair the frame in this painting with an image resembling flash photography. Photographs are fallible, imperfect attempts at preserving memory. Sometimes you remember more than what an image tells you. Other times, photos build mythologies in your memory, shifting with age and transforming the more they are viewed and remembered. In my native language, the phrase "sayang sekali" speaks to both love and regret. "I love you dearly" and "what a waste" in the same breath. Between the four figures depicted here, only Ariane has a visibly open eye. I'll leave the rest up to interpretation.
Fanart of Signalis featuring Ariane and Elster. Ariane and Elster have their hands intertwined in a dance, both smiling with their eyes closed. The picture is framed by white lilies in the corners, and a different version of Ariane and Elster on the left and right sides. On the left side is a sickly-looking Ariane in her white dress with an open eye visible. On the right side is a gravely injured Elster with a missing arm. The edges of the picture is stained red.
Ariane with her hair down. Lyrics to Mitski's "Bug Like An Angel" written around her: "Hey, what's the matter? / Lookin' like your sticker / Is stuck on a floor somewhere"
Signalis fan art; The Lovers arcana. Elster and Ariane stand beside each other, their heads turned towards one another, eyes closed and smiling. Behind them stands Falke—towering and lost underneath yellow light. Text on the image marks: VI: DIE LIEBENDEN.
Mizisua fanart—Mizi is kneeling while Sua is holding her face gently. Sua is covered in her own blood, some of it smearing onto Mizi's face. Mizi smiles as she looks up at Sua and embraces her.
Unfinished drawing of Sua holding Mizi's face while Mizi smiles at her.

Preview of an illustration featured on the zine "Two Girl Revolution" Utena is wearing a damaged girls uniform. She is holding Anthy's hand, beaming, her hair bouncing from her steps. Anthy is following along Utena with a surprised expression. Chuchu is holding tight onto Anthy's shoulder, shaken around by her movement. The background is predominantly blue with pillars. The image is decorated with an ornamental black frame and four pink roses at the corners. Text on the upper left corner say "Zine Preview." Text on the bottom right corner say "Two Girl Revolution / an Utena & Anthy Zine."
Digital painting of two young people sleeping together in bed. One of them has self-harm scars on their legs. Violets are framing the picture. The image has text stylized to look like clippings, "I can be a little bruised, and still be in love."

The person lagging behind is injured, with several dressed wounds. The dogs are blue with a pink outline, surrounded by white butterflies. The dog lagging behind has one bandaged leg. There is handwritten text on the image: MOMMA, I WANT TO BE SOMEWHERE ELSE MOMMA, I WANT TO MAKE IT OUT OF HERE HOME IS NO PLACE FOR KIDS LIKE US PLEASE STAY WITH ME STAY WITH ME UNTIL WE FIND SOMEPLACE BETTER I PROMISE THE WORLD IS SO MUCH KINDER THAN YOU THINK, BECAUSE I FOUND YOU IN IT.
Fan comic of Ariane and Elster from Signalis. The two are kissing, suddenly stopped by a surprised-looking Ariane. They stare at each other for a moment while Ariane keeps holding Elster's face. Elster furrows her brows. "Ariane?" she calls. "Is something the matter?" "... No, not at all. It's just..." Ariane smiles. "Your eyes are so pretty. I just noticed your eyelashes are the same color as your hair." Elster squeezes Ariane's cheeks. She complains, "You stopped all the sudden and worried me for nothing." Ariane protests, "Untrue! I stopped to admire you!"

Fan interpretations of The Revolutionary and The Empress from Signalis. The Revolutionary, in red armor, is playing a decorated grand piano with a serene smile. The Empress, her white hair and white dress flowing behind her, holds The Revolutionary's shoulder with a gentle smile across her face. They shine against a dark background.
