For ruietto's What's in a Word? Skin Contest. The word given to me was lachesism, which is the desire to be struck by disaster and to survive it.

I immediately thought to pull inspiration from the portal to the Upside Down from Stranger Things since that's where basically every disaster in the series came from iirc (idk, I haven't watched it fully yet so that's an assumption). The swirly things are basically representations of disaster coming out somewhere, and these are colorful at the tip to represent the—perhaps—positive change that'll come from having dealt with them. A rainbow after the rain, if you will.

Didn't realize the deadline was today so I rushed it o.o
