I think they’re a little too thick to be Claire’s arms, so my money is on Pepper. Claire probably doesn’t know Ares is still alive, which is probably WHY Ares is still alive.
It being Claire might make sense contextually, but that color is definitely Pepper, I think, and Pepper HAS dreamt of Ares before (the first night after Achilles showed him the stairs).
oh that is SO cool, i love the fact that the boundaries of this dream like world dont behave like we’d expect from reality. moreso than the defying of physics, but using that malleability to bring about interactions in the world and between characters that would be impossible to happen otherwise (in this sense impossible because pepper sure as hell didnt wander down the world stairs to meet her)
its already been shown and suggested that thought alone can influence reality in this world, but its super fun seeing the creative ways that can happen beyond the act of creation
woaaaahhhh cool. this makes me feel even more like pepper is actually visiting her somehow. but idk it could just be him adapting to his stress better.
this reminds me of going to visit clair. the head of the town, you go see her at the lighthouse where she p much always is. except he’s going to see ares, presumably head of another town. he uses the front door and all.
and can’t deny the similarity to chloe’s dream. seeing ares thru a squarish shape. although I dunno what connection that might imply. also can’t deny the diamond, like someone else said. if diamonds are symbolic, I feel like it represents ares’ residence in a new way of thinking, and pepper’s awareness of that place. maybe it’s a scary place to think about, but one that exists in his head now, a place he’s getting more comfortable visiting when he needs that way of thinking.
this is unrelated and assumes something that is just a theory, but I keep thinking that instead of ares being like a combo of (or just lending aspects to) mars and achilles, maybe she is mars and pepper actually. I think it’s partly that I like to expect an unexpected twist, and the red and blue short cats kind of seem natural to combo into a bigger purple cat. but also bc pepper’s pants are frayed at the bottom like ares’ are. and bc achilles really doesn’t seem too much like ares, and doesn’t really offer anything to chloe. but pepper and mars both do. I could see mars’ and pepper’s personalities tempering one another into something like ares’. cool but diplomatic, strong-willed but level-headed.
but again this is assuming the animals’ aspects are somehow recombined from previous iterations or something. the more we go on the less I think they were physically recombined, instead of like just different personality ideas being reused or something. I mean, ares does still exist. mostly.
Headlines: Organized pupper puts cat into box. She is not amused.
Fuck
We’re not meant to know whose hands those are, but judging by the context my money’s on clair
For one: those are NOT pepper’s arms—despite the coloration. For two: who else would be filing things?? (those are not achilles’ arms either)
…or maybe they are. What do i know?:achilles-loaf:

The more i reread this the more i think my initial assessment was significantly off:pepper-scruffy:
Oh yea, it’s literally tagged with Pepper and Ares
Ah. Don’t mind me. I’m a total dummy:achilles-cutesy:
Did Pepper ever meet Ares? I think Achilles mentioned her, but I don’t think he ever saw her. I don’t think he’d know what she looks like.
He never met her, but he dreamed her before. We can assume Achilles described her that well.
Or there’s deeper, subconscious connection between all the inhabitants of HH :peachy-menacing:

Don’t wanna think about the awesome rebel cat from a destroyed town and its implications too much day to day :pepper-scruffy:

no outlines… she’s see through…
and it looks like the viewer is crawling on the ground… much to think about
I wonder if this Ares is actually?? real and conscious and aware?? or once again Pepper’s interpretation of Ares just from what Achilles told him
:peachy-cutesy: I SEE THOSE LEAVES
Really had me in the first panel thinking we were gonna get another Chloe dream
ITU’S MYU GIRILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Panel 1 has a diamond, but Pepper only sees Ares when it twists into a square.
So in their first sleepover, Chloe dreamed about something important. And now, Pepper did. Curious.
Pepper dreaming about goth girls?
Very very relatable :pepper-cutesy:
Just in time for the trailer for Tron Ares

ARES TIME YEAH!!!!! i missed my girl :hearts:
Ares is not amused (and refuses to sit normally) :the-yellow-wallpaper:
Now that I think about it, the Ares in Chloe’s dream didn’t look impressed, either. I guess being repressed will do that to you.
