Diametrically opposed.

A while back the wonderful Ursula Veron announced that it would be possible to get her art on a T-shirt. I LOVE her stuff. I don't normally buy prints, I'd rather commissionn originals, but a piece by Ursula shares my wallspace with a Salvadore Dali, the only two prints I have ever shelled out money for. (And the Ursula one cost more, but it's limited edition.) Anyhow, since that announcement a couple days back I've been pondering what I wanted. She's done a lot of really good, really weird, really intersting stuff, and it was hard to decide, but today I finally winnowed it down to just a handful. And then I realized what the only two possible choices were. I needed to get the Pearaphim and Azeazelbunny.

They're opposites, you see, and myself being myself I had to have them. I'm fascinated with opposites held in balance. It's why I want a statue of the Dancing Shiva someday, as the dance represents both death and life.

But I can't decide... do I have good and evil here, or do I have silly and goth?

Either way, I shall enjoy the double takes I get from both of these. Mwa ha ha ha!

M) Does it matter? *amusement*

The second looks somewhere between evil and goth; it's not quite clearly one side or the other, and the other--

N) The phrase you're looking for is 'The two choices aren't mutually exclusive'.

M) Right. Why would the second provoke a double-take, though? *looks closely at names for the first time; makes sound of amusement*

Now, seeing the two confront each other in a mortal showdown... that would be worth seeing.

M) *sees figure in palm; grasps size* Ooo.

The Azeazelbunny only gets a double take if you really look at it. I think that's why I like it.
