I'm a new fan of the Drakengard and NieR series, I got into it thanks to the advice of a friend of mine, who showed me a summary video of the lore of the first 3 drakengard. Even though I don't have any "emotional" or better to say "nostalgic" attachment, the Drakengard 3 lore has deeply affected me, especially Zero's writing and his bond with the flower. Today I watched that episode for the second time, so I could understand the lore even better and clarify some doubts. But I'll get to the point. A couple of weeks ago I was thinking about some nice tattoos to get: I've been thinking about it for months, since it has to be dedicated to my now deceased grandfather. Months and months of thinking about it, it was almost becoming forced. So I had resigned myself to my last idea: Goku's grandfather's hat with the dragon ball. It was cute, I thought. But then after thinking about the meaning of Zero's flower and his lore I had a stroke of genius. Get a tattoo about this. But why am I writing this? Well, simply because mine is an interpretation adapted to what has been my life, Despite this, I don't want to sound almost "blasphemous" towards those who grew up with this game, also making sure I made a logical reasoning. You should know that I am a great history buff, so I give a lot of importance to the past. My grandmother always tells me: be like your grandfather, in life he was good, now everyone misses him. Here I made the first connection: When Michael (Zero's first dragon) dies, a more childish version of himself is reborn, remembering Zero's noble goal and accompanying her with even more courage and determination. Also, according to one of the many endings, after Zero's death Michael seals the flower , saving the world from defeat. I think this is a great example that what we do in life can make us immortal in the memory of others, without making us really die as well as being able to give us the strength to become better people, taking inspiration from the deceased (this is a connection that can also be made following a historical reasoning if you think about it). Then I see the creation of the 5 Intoners as if to say that often it can be other versions of ourselves that hurt us and hinder us. Obviously this is just a summary of everything I thought about, c there are other things to say but I don't want to create a poem. Obviously the theme of sacrificing oneself for others and a life in which trusting was only a bad thing comes back a lot. What do you think? Here I will put a photo of the tattoo I want to get. Last thing: the main meaning of the tattoo will be the sense of rebirth, since from her own death Zero was reborn from the flower, which will force her to die. What saved us can often turn out to be our greatest enemy, trapping us in what is a cage for our soul. I think it's a very beautiful and philosophical oxymoron.
