#1670 spoilers

[michaelshelleyenthusiast]

Tak dokładnie!!! Widziałom posta co kompletnie nie zrozumiał znaczenia tej sceny I po prostu paradował ślepym patriotyzmem bo Zofia powiedziała coś podobnego do 'bo to jest polska'. Boże przysięgam że niektórzy ludzie słyszą wspominke o Polsce i natychmiast zapominają o czym była konwersacją. Zofia się bała, dobrze wie jak działa ten kraj i zdecydowała zostać nie tylko dlatego że kocha swoją rodzinę (bo ich kocha to jest ewidentnie) ale dlatego też że dobrze wie że to by się źle dla niej i Rozali skończyło.

Moim zdaniem była taka surowa i stanowczą w trakcie rozmowy z Rozali�� bo chciała aby obie były bezpieczne, i wiedziała że jedyny sposób żeby upewnić ich bezpieczeństwo to odtrącić Rozalię. Czy to było zdrowe lub mądre? Nie! Ale takie zachowanie jest tak mocno u niej utrwalone że nie wiedziała co innego mogą zrobić bo mimo to że to jest lekko progresywne jak na wieś w 1670 wieku, to to dalej jest Polska wieś w 1670 wieku.

To była konwersacją o tym że rodziną jest najważniejsza bo to jest polska i krew jest gęstsza niż woda. To była konwersacją o tym że Zofia chce być z Rozalią ale wie że to nie jest możliwe. Kocham to że w końcu jakiś polski serial użył tekstu 'bo rodziną jest najważniejsza' w negatywnym kontekście. Katarzyna Herman jest genialną aktorką, w jej przedstawieniu jako Zofia wyraźnie było widać walkę między jej chęcią bycia z Rozalią a jej obowiązkiem wobec rodziny. Boże jak ja kocham ten serial

No but the repressed lesbianism of it all, the sacrificing your own sexuality for the "family" bc "this is Poland", the absolute batshit quote that was "if goodness and love stand in the way of family, family crushes them both to pulp", no kurwa muszę mówić dalej

You know what was great about Zofia and Rozalia's romance?

The very fact that Zofia is a hardcore religious woman with obsession about death (her favourite "motivational slogan" is memento mori).

It was hilarious, but also so real to see her anger at Rozalia at first. She felt angry at her, no matter what Rozalia did, and at first some may think that it's due to her aversion to the "city folk", but in truth it was always because Rozalia was beautiful, sensual, smelled nice and was tempting Zofia to do bad, unchristian things. And at first she did try to fight it. Anger was helping with that, but that anger couldn't really last long near Rozalia, the beautiful seductive flower from the city. The subtle breaking of the ice when they danced was enough to give Zofia LIFE. Before that, she was a woman who only thought about death and how they will be all punished and tormented in hell, who tended to lie on the floor in cross position, with no desires of her own apart from wanting to marry her children off, especially her daughter. Rozalia's sudden appearance in Zofia's life was like some spell to lift depression. Zofia turned into someone unrecognizable, someone who looked forward to life, letters shared and new days spent with Rozalia.

Christianity is associated a lot with homophobia, but it didn't stop Zofia from seeking Rozalia. Her faith played a role (in tandem with the societal values and standards set for women) in the suppression of her own desires, but couldn't stop her queer longing for Rozalia.

And it was so nice to not be fed some angsty existential crisis here about "how she - a religious woman, committed a sin" or something. Hell, it almost seemed that their religion was meaningless to their relationship. Rozalia wearing a literal cross on her neck as a necklace even spelled to me that both of them were religious christian women, mothers and wives whose love blossomed regardless of all of that.

As if faith was completely unimportant when it came to love.

And it was not religion that destroyed their romance.

In the end, it was family that stood in their way.

Meeting Alex Kingston in Moll Flanders cosplay at FanX 2023

Just over a year ago, a little birdy (@now-theres-a-spoiler-for-you) informed me that to the best of her knowledge, Alex Kingston had never seen a Moll Flanders cosplayer. And as an avid appreciator of the Miniseries, I took it upon myself to become the first.

The Miniseries, "The Fortunes and Misfortunes of Moll Flanders" (1996) of which Alex Kingston starred in alongside Daniel Craig, was Alex's major breakout role which led to her role on ER and her subsequent claim to fame. So considering the prevolence, I had to make it special.

I put in a LOT of work researching, sourcing fabric, internet deep-diving, and reading before I ever got started on the dress. The actual hard work of sewing the dress took a few months to make once the initial homework was done. Undergarments? Structuring? Patterns? All of these took a lot of guesswork on my part.

The original was created by costume designer, Trisha Biggar (Which if you are in the costuming community you will know her as the designer of Padme Amidala's wardrobe and the designer for Outlander) for the 1996 miniseries. The dress was constructed of fabric Trisha Thrifted in the 1960s in Sweden, most of which I am fairly certain is Indian Fabric specifically used for Banarasi Sarees. The dress is inspired by a common silhouette from the 1670s London England, based on common evening gowns worn at the time. Considering the substantial trade happening between India and England at that time, it makes sense that a dress is fine as this would��ve been historically constructed with Banarasi silk.

The original evening gown:

Sadly, I cannot afford to construct a dress entirely out of silk in this American economy, so sourced much of my fabric overseas and while I was in Egypt and Israel this summer. The rest of it was either Thrifted or appliquéd by hand by me. All of the notions and ribbons were Thrifted. I believe in doing everything possible to keep cosplay sustainable. There is a video on my TikTok which goes into detail on my construction process.

But once the dress was done, I was ecstatic, and It was time to debut it at a convention. The morning of Thursday FanX SLC, I got some pictures (in my River wig to preserve my curled hair) and this is how they turned out...

Then it was time to show The Queenston herself. I had been a little bit stressed that she wouldn't recognise the dress or wouldn't be very interested, but I held out hope.

Spoiler Alert; I had NOTHING to worry about.

Before I got to Alex, I got an autograph from Karen Gillan, who's table was next to Alex's. While in line, I was staring in awe at Alex, as she was just under twenty feet away. In between people, Alex glanced up to the crowd, then did a double take, and leaned over her table to see me through the crowd. Her mouth dropped open, she pointed straight at me, and she got all excited, and mouthed “You! Moll Flanders! Wow!” Time slowed down and I froze until I gave her a big smile (and I think a thumbs up?) and I was so starstruck that I was convinced I was hallucinating until she added “you look amazing!” still smiling, before going back to the next person. 

When I got to her table, she greeted me as Moll,and she said she'd "Never ever, ever seen a Moll cosplayer!" and I got to tell her that I made the dress. Alex absolutely loved my Moll Flanders cosplay. She told me it was the first one she’d ever seen. She was so sweet. I wasn’t anxious at all. I was so excited to finally meet her but I didn’t cry. I was actually so relaxed, which came as a surprise, as I have a track record of being emotionally overwhelmed and crying in front of Celebrities.

She was so nice and was so impressed with the dress. We got a Photo together and she ended up grabbing the shackles (is it even Alex Kingston without a cheeky touch?)

Then she signed my Making of Moll Flanders book and she flipped through it “oh this really takes me back. This was my favorite dress. The red velvet one. It was quite warm. I loved the big hat!”

For reference this is the dress she was talking about:

Then she looked up back at my dress and asked me “aren’t they fun to wear? Don’t you feel sexy?”

I said yes.

I was a liar.

I was actually incredibly uncomfortable but I would NEVER SAY THAT TO THE QUEENSTON.

So I just smiled and said yes. (I did feel sexy but 17 hours tightlaced in 1670s stays is not fun to wear)

Then at the photo op, Alex played with my hair XD

So that is the story of my most insane cosplay yet! I hope you enjoyed all you people out there on the internet.

Conspiracy Corner 3.0

Welcome back once again to The Lampman's Conspiracy Corner! This is where I try to uncover the mysteries of The Owl House!

(A note for any newcomers: I am currently doing a mostly blind watchthrough of The Owl House. The last episode I saw was Edge of the World. No spoilers please!)

Ta-da! Isn't that a lovely sight to behold? I'm really happy with how it turned out. The unicorn light strand was an inspired choice on my end, I feel. Shoutout to a friend of mine who gave me a bunch of awesome stuff that I used to make this new and improved version of the Corner. Including these really cool paperclips that look like lamp bulbs. Because I'm The Lampman!

I've overhauled pretty much the entire thing. The only things that are the same as the previous model are the tile and some of the glyphs. Oh, and two of the notes on the grimwalker section. Let's get a better look at some of the individual pieces, shall we?

Timeline

We begin here with the timeline, expanded now that I know more about the past. As you can see, the past is divided into five eras.

•Distant Past Way back in the distant mists of the past, enormous Titans roamed the world of the Boiling Sea. But everything changed when The Collector attacked. For reasons as of yet unknown to me, The Collector came into conflict with the Titans. He formed the Titan Trappers under the title of the Grand Huntsman and became their god. The Collector and the Titan Trappers hunted the Titans to near extinction. At some point, the Titan I’ve been calling Ymir died and The Collector was trapped beneath its body. The implication seems to be that Ymir sacrificed itself to trap the enemy that could not be defeated.

•1600s The 1600s was a busy time, far too busy for me to include every important event on a single post-it note. To summarize, Gravesfield was founded in 1635 in Connecticut. In the young town lived the Brothers Wittebane. This was during the time of the Connecticut Witch Trials, and so the brothers grew up hearing stories about witches and played game where they fought witches. At some point, they met a real witch from the Demon Realm. One of them was scared, but the other brother was fascinated by the strange woman’s magics.

A bit of conjecture: Philip ran away, while his brother followed the witch back to the Demon Realm. Philip told others of the encounter, resulting in the legend of the brothers meeting the witch and being abducted living on into modern memory as we saw in Yesterday’s Lie. Philip somehow managed to make his way to the Demon Realm and set out to find his brother. On his travels he discovered glyph magic and started consuming palismen… for some reason. He did manage to track down his brother, and to his horror, he found his brother engaged in a sinful union with a witch.

This is likely what caused him to transform into his monstrous form. His brother, ever compassionate, does not run in fear from his horrifically mutated brother, but embraces him. Philip decided to take things into his own hands and attempts to murder the witch… but in the end, he ends up taking his own brother’s life. The witch chases him off, Philip barely escaping with his life.

Whatever sanity was left within Philip’s mind now gone, he sets about crafting a masterplan to eradicate all of demonkind. He begins constructing a portal back to the Human Realm. He also attempts to resurect his brother by creating creatures called grimwalkers. Sometime between 1660 and 1670 he encounters the crab maiden Luzura and her cool aunt Dirtrude, actually Luz the Human and Lilith Clawthorne from the future. They help him retrieve a disk that lets him contact The Collector, a figure that plays an important, if as of yet unknown part in Philip’s plans. He assumed the identity of Belos and began his campaign that would eventually see him as the Emperor of the Boiling Isles.

•1700-1800s Nothing of note happened here.

•1900s Belos declared himself as Emperor sometime during the 1970s and established the Coven system. The 1970s also saw the birth of both Edalyn and Lilith Clawthorne. Later, sometime during the early 1990s Eda became good friends with Raine Whispers, future head witch of the Bard Coven. The day before the tryouts for the Emperor’s Coven, Lilith cursed her sister with the Owlbeast curse to ensure she would win their duel… a duel Eda had already decided to forfeit.

Eda ended up running away from home as a result of her curse. She found the abandoned portal door to the Human Realm. She would go on to become a notorious outlaw and wild witch, known as Eda the Owl Lady. Parallel, Lilith rose through the ranks of the Emperor’s Coven until she became its leader, tasked with capturing Eda.

•2000s The 2000s saw the birth of many of the main characters like Luz, Amity, Willow, Gus, as well as the creation of Hunter.* Other important events during the 2000s include the death of Luz’ father and Eda adopting King.**

The present of the story takes place in 2022. This based on the anniversary of Camila’s husband’s death being on 22:nd of August, which was on a Monday in the present year. You can see I circled that year on the timeline with that calendar thing I used to figure it out.

*Note on Hunter: it’s not entirely clear how old he actually is, but Darius believed him to be around sixteen years. So it is likely he’s at least close to that age.

**Much like with Hunter, it’s ambiguous exactly how old King is. He was adopted eight years before the present events (so in 2014). But we don’t know how long he spent alone in the tower, or even how long his egg was incubating before it hatched. 

The Wittebanes

Here is a simple family tree for the messed up Wittebane Family. It starts with Mom and Dad Wittebane who sired Philip Wittebane and his brother.

Philip has remained unmarried and with no known romantic relationships in the past or present. Truly, the aro/ace icon we deserve.

That was a joke.

Ahem.

Brother Wittebane married, or at the very least was romantically involved with a witch whose name is to me unknown at the moment. There is a possibility she gave birth to their child later on, so there’s space left to extend the family tree further.

Hunter is… an interesting case. As the technology does not exist in the real world (yet, I’m working on it), the question of where exactly a clone fits in on a family tree is not a settled question. This particular case is made more complicated by the fact that Philip created Hunter, but Hunter was also based on Brother Wittebane. So in some ways, Hunter (and the other grimwalkers that I couldn’t fit on this page) is the progeny of both Philip and his brother.

Grimwalkers and Hunter

Speaking of Grimwalkers, here is a page dedicated all to them.

Starting with grimwalkers, these sad pedestrians are biomagically engineered clones or replicas of people. More specifically of Philip Wittebane’s brother. The exact process of creating a grimwalker is unknown, but it is implied they grow in the ground like plants and that they can be created as full-grown adults.

It is unknown whether Philip created grimwalkers on his own, or if he got the recipe from some other source.

Speaking of the recipe, the known ingredients include Galdorstone, Palistrom wood, Stonesleeper lungs, Selkidomus scales, and Bone of ORTET.

(sidenote: In botany, an ortet is the original plant from which one or more clones are derived. This indicates that this ”Bones of ORTET” is a vital step in the cloning process)

I’ve also included two possible inspirations for the concept of grimwalkers (from a meta perspective, not Philip’s inspiration). Those are homunculus, artificial humans created via alchemy. A famous example in fiction is the homunculi from Fullmetal Alchemist. Another inspiration is Bakru, unruly children created out of wood by witches and wizards.

Hunter There have been many grimwalkers, at least sixteen prior to Hunter, possibly more. Hunter is special however, because he is a main character.

I talked a little before about some confusion surrounding his actual age in the Timeline segment. For now, his age is marked as 16.

This page includes some basic information. His palisman is Flapjack, he has no inherent magic but is branded with the Emperor’s Coven’s sigil. His alignment is… not entirely clear, but he’s probably going to be on the Owl House Crew’s side once he shows up again. His current location is also a mystery, because our heroes did not feel like going looking for him in Edge of the World.

I also included some notes on important relationships. His friends includes Willow, Gus, Skara, and Viney, all of whom he befriended in Any Sport in A Storm. Under the category of Family I included Belos Darius as a father figure and Luz as a sister… mainly because a certain someone I know will correct me if I call Luz anything but his sister. Under the ??? category we find Eda, King, and Amity. Once he does join up with the crew, they’ll most likely fall under the Friends or Family categories, but at this moment I’m not sure what he would consider them to be. The last time he saw Amity was when the two were fighting, after all.

The Collector

Moving to the other side of the Conspiracy Corner, we find The Collector. I decorated this page with a lot of stars because of their space motif! And also a paperclip that looks like a lamp because stars are kinda like lamps.

The Collector is a very mysterious figure whose origins and motives remain largely a mystery. Even the full extent of their powers have yet to be truly revealed, though it’s safe to say it will be a lot. A lot of what I’m not sure yet, but it will be a lot.

What I do know is that The Collector also goes under the name of the Grand Huntsman, that he founded the Titan Trappers and is considered by them to be a god. The Collector founded the Titan Trappers to aid him in his fight against the massive Titans. At some point, likely several thousand years ago, he was imprisoned beneath the body of the Titan I call Ymir.

One of the many questions surrounding this character is what exactly it is they collect. I’m leaning towards it being strange and exotic beasts or creatures. But it might as well be anything The Collector finds the least bit interesting. It could also be something more nebulous like feelings or something.

Titans

Much like their enemy The Collector, the Titans are shrouded in mystery and questions that will hopefully be answered later. What I do know is that these magnificent beasts once roamed the planet and could grow to enormous proportions, as large as islands. They possessed vast magical potential, their blood even capable of opening up rifts in reality, piercing into other dimensions or different times.

The Titans are today almost extinct, with only one known living individual remaining. Their extinction came as consequence of a war against The Collector, a powerful magical entity. The Collector formed the Titan Trappers, a warrior clan solely dedicated towards finding and killing Titans.

(i decorated this page with whale stickers because whales are big and titans are big!)

Ymir Ymir is the name I’ve given to the Titan whose body make up the Boiling Isles. Ymir is implied to have been the one to imprison The Collector, at the cost of their own life.

Ymir is also the source of magic on the Boiling Isles, leading to the people of the Isles revering it almost as a god, a fact exploited by Belos to further his evil plans.

The last thing I want to mention about Ymir is that there is a slight possibility that it is still, in some way, conscious or alive. The hints are few and far between, with there only ever really being two moments I can think of. The first one is during Adventures in the Elements, when Luz learns her second glyph. The scene, to me, seems to imply that the island itself helped her. Combine this with a comment Philip made in Elsewhere and Elsehwen, where he said that it took him years to find the glyphs, almost as if the world itself was trying to hide them from him.

Based on that, it seems to me like Ymir was, in some way, trying to hinder Philip from finding the glyphs and gaining power because it could sense the evil within him. When Luz came along, Ymir helped her along the way, because it could sense she was good and may be the thing that could stop Belos.

Like I said, there is really nothing else to support this theory other than these two very brief moments. And it may to be so much that Ymir is still conscious as more of an… residual will to protect the people of the Isles. 

Another possibility is that Ymir has nothing to do with it, and it was just to demonstrate the differences between Philip and Luz. Luz, who came into the Demon Realm, fascinated and enamored with the magic and adventure connected with it and was able to find the glyphs easily once she set her mind to it.

Philip on the other hand despised the Demon Realm, seeing it a hellish realm of sin and darkness. His hatred for magic and the world he found himself in made him blind to the wonders of it and is what made it so difficult for him to find the glyphs in nature.

King King is, to my knowledge, the last living Titan. His biological parents are unknown, but he was adopted by Eda eight years ago. So he is at least eight years old, but his egg may have been in the tower for thousands of years as far as I know.

Bat-Queen

Not much is known about this Chiroptera Queen. Her own memories of her past are muddy and unclear. All she can recall is that she once sat on the staff belonging to a giant thousands of years ago. It’s possible this giant was a Titan that fell in battle against The Collector or the Titan Trappers.

She protects broken and damaged palismen in her forest. The fact that Belos has never sent his forces to retrieve the palismen from her means that he either doesn’t know where she resides… or that she is powerful enough to repel any attempts to invade her domain.

Glyphs

Not much to say about this section. These are jus the four basic glyphs as well as every glyph combo we’ve seen in the series so far, unless I missed something. Oh, and Philip’s teleportation array is not included, because ain’t no way I’m drawing that thing.

Of note is that right next to the petrification combo is a combo I created with the intention of reversing the effect.

I also included my Lightning/Thunder glyph combo that I created a while ago.

The Day of Unity

This page is dedicated not to the event itself, but rather to the multiple factions that will play a role during this promised day.

The Empire In short, these are the bad guys. And if not bad, then in some way working for, supporting, or an unwitting pawn in Belos’ plan.

•Emperor Belos/Philip Wittebane The Pumpkin King of the Boiling Isles and the mastermind behind this whole event. He is very skilled with magic and can transform his body into a monstrous form. •6 Coven Head Witches These are the six Coven Head Witches still loyal to Belos. Those are the heads of the Healing Coven, Construction Coven, Potions Coven, Illusion Coven, Oracle Coven, and Plant Coven. They are all very powerful witches and are instrumental for the draining spell to work properly. •Warden Wrath Not sure why I included him on the list, he hasn’t really been a threat since episode one. •Coven Scouts The Coven Scouts comprise the army of the Boiling Isles and act as Belos’ main enforcers. There will be a lot of Scouts standing guard and while the typical guard doesn’t offer much challenge to our heroes, legions of them together could pose a serious problem. •Kikimora I forgot to include her on the list… although is she really a threat? I dunno, she might do something. She’ll probably fail, but still. Maybe she’ll faceplant in front of Eda and make her trip at a vital moment or something. •Abomatons These powerful guardian sentries make for a substantial threat to out heroes, unless they find some way to effectively deal with them. Cough, Alador, cough. •The General Populace Belos has the support of the general populace of the Boiling Isles. Pretty much every witch is going to be present during the Day of Unity.

There is one important factor I want to mention. Nearly every adult witch on the series, with exceedingly few exceptions, are members of a coven. This means that they have a coven sigil. And as we’ve seen, the sigils can be used to incapacitate witches with no real way for them to resist. This means that Belos could potentially render almost anyone and everyone incapable of fighting back. Who says that if the heroes rile the masses against him, that he can’t just flick his finger and have them all rendered unconscious?

The Owl House Crew A ragtag bunch of misfits, including a wild witch, a human, Lord Hooty, the last Titan, and a bunch of kids. These are our heroes that will save the day. Maybe.

•Luz Noceda Skilled with glyph magic and will potentially play an important role in rallying people against Belos. •Eda Clawthorne Though she lacks her magic powers, she has access to a harpy mode, granting her increased strength, speed, durability and flight. She also has some knowledge of glyph magic and potions. •King Clawthorne The last living Titan, he boasts a powerful scream capable of splitting solid rock asunder. •Hooty The mighty Lord Hooty is, of course, a god on Earth… or whatever it is the Demon Realm planet is called. You’d think that’d be more than enough, but keep in mind, The Collector is a god too. •Lilith Clawthorne She lacks magical powers, but has trained to use glyphs. May potentially have some valuable insider information. •Amity Blight A gifted young witch specializing in abomination magic. An awesome girlfriend. •Willow Park A natural when it comes to plant magic, her power has impressed adult witches in the past. •Gus Porter A talented student, his illusion magic is not to be underestimated. •Hunter Should I list his last name as Wittebane? Whatever, even though he’s gone at the moment, I think he’ll join up with the Owl House Crew shortly and help them during the Day of Unity. He may not have any magic of his own, but he is trained in combat and has Flapjack lending him some power. He may also have some valuable insider information. •Gwendolyn Clawthorne My list also includes Gwen, mainly because she said in Keeping Up A-fear-ances that she’d like to give Belos a piece of her mind, and unlike Dell who seems pretty frail, she is strong enough to help out in a fight.

There are some more potential allies, like the various witches and demons Luz and Gang has befriended on the Boiling Isles. Maybe some of their classmates from Hexside will join in on the fight. This could be especially valuable if Belos activates the sigils to put all the adults to sleep like i speculated.

Traitorous Trio These are the three Coven Head Witches that have decided to betray Belos and try to stop his mad scheme. All three of them are powerful and skilled witches, more than capable of holding their own in a fight.

•Raine Whispers The head of the Bard Coven, they’re a skilled musician and witch. Their refusal to involve Eda may become a weakness. •Darius The head of the Abomination Coven. His magics are unorthodox, reflecting how he puts a lot of value on independence and thinking for one self. Hunter’s dad. •Eberwolf This guys here too I guess? Um… probably pretty strong, but doesn’t seem to be much of a planner. •The Bards Against the Throne This lovable trio of bards are included here as they worked for and with Raine. While they were seemingly imprisoned back in Eda’s Requiem, a close examination of the brief scene revealed that they were thrown in an unlocked cell and could potentially just walk out of there. Their current status is unknown, but they might be able to help out.

Wildcards This category is reserved for some people whose role or allegiance I’m not entirely clear on just yet.

•Bat-Queen A pretty obvious ally. Eda still has that whistle and BQ owes her a favor. And I’m sure that once she finds out what Belos does to palismen, she’ll be more than happy to provide some assistance. Having Belos swarmed by a bunch of wounded palismen could be cool. If she doesn’t join the fight, I could see her maybe playing some role in getting the heroes out of a tough spot.

•Alador I’ve talked about this theory several times, but to recap: I think that Alador will see Amity fighting against the Emperor and decide that his family matter more than anything else. He will have some way of turning all the Abomatons against the Emperor’s forces and help turn the tide at an important moment. As for Odalia… she might do the right thing, I’m not saying she’s all evil or something like that, but at the same time… only one of the Blight parents had an important moment in an episode where they realized their treatment of their kids may have been hurtful, and it wasn’t her. Also, I’m not sure there is really much she brings to the table in terms of what she could actually do to help.

•The Titan Trappers I’m not really expecting them to play a role in the Day of Unity, but they could. Sure, their giant teleportation thing was destroyed, but they did have boats, modeled after viking longships. And the vikings made it to the americas And the Titan Trappers have magic, which the vikings didn’t (as far as you know at least). Then again, six days to sail halfway around the world seems a bit… unrealistic. So yeah, I don’t expect them to show up, not unless they’re able to fix their teleporter.

*The Collector The Grand Huntsman’s placement in the wildcard category might be a little puzzling to some. He’s allied with Belos, so shouldn’t that put him in The Empire category?

No. Here’s the thing: The Collector may be allied with Belos, but that doesn’t mean they’ll be on the same side of history once the dust settles. As far as I know, The Collector is just using Belos to break out of his imprisonment and once he’s free, they’ll toss Belos aside like the trash he is. Who knows, they might even go out of their way to stop Belos from exterminating all life in the Demon Realm. After all, that’s where all his prey lives.

So for now, The Collector remains the wildest of all the wildcards.

•Steve If you look closely at the picture, you can see that my sister made an addition to this entry. Steve is her favorite character and husbando. Her waifu is Neo from RWBY. And lets hope she never reads this, or I won’t live long enough to liveblog again.

Anyway, this character has appeared sporadically throughout the season. During the expedition to Eclipse Lake, talking to Hunter in Any Sport in A Storm, and most importantly in Elsewhere and Elsewhe. In that episode, he attended a party in the Owl House celebrating Lilith’s new job. Lilith, who is a known traitor, hanging out in the house of the most infamous wild witch of the modern era.

I actually have an idea for how he might join up with the good guys. Edge of the World ended with the Owl House surrounded by Coven Scouts. What if Steve is one of them, and when he sees his old boss and friend Lilith, he decides turn traitor and helps them fight off the other scouts?

And listen, I’m not saying he has an unrequited crush on Lilith, but-

In Conclusion This became a lot longer than I was expecting it to. But hey, I think it was worth it. I got to talk not just about what I know so far, but also a little about what I think will happen in the coming few episodes. But there is only one way to truly find out and that is to start watching the next episode. I’ll be back tomorrow with a brand new liveblog for you all! Until then, take care of the planet Earth and remember that anything can happen in space.

Okay, so... I have ideas:

As a continuation of The Heirloom, I was thinking about a Fanfiction that's set during the Nazi occupation in Belgium. Something like, Tintin has just come back home (as a war reporter) and finds Nazis and swastikas everywhere (and Haddock is bloody confused because he understands nothing of German). They basically become part of the Belgium resistance, forming a group of people that sabotages the Nazis, spies on them and tries to kill them (occasionally saving prisoners or people that should be send in lagers). Rosalia returns in the story as part of the group (and gets to use the watch but I won't tell you why). Bonus spoiler: Tintin will dress as an SS officer in order to infiltrate into an event;

A Fanfiction on its own set in 1670 / 1700. Pirates, pirates everywhere. Tintin is an adventurer that embarks on the wrong ship and eventually ends up on Haddock's galleon. I still don't have a real plot but it's about Haddock and Sakarin's ancestors.

Hold Fast - Appendices

Well, Hold Fast is done, but the work is never over. I’ve spent so much time thinking and planning and researching  (some of which gets thrown out in full transparency), that as usual I wanted to take some time to put together some Hold Fast research notes and appendices. The big one being the timeline... so jumping right in....

SPOILERS FOR THE STORY 

Also if you have any questions while reading or after, feel free to drop me a line in my asks. :D

Appendix A - Timeline

No one has asked me anything around this, but I figured if I had one thing that would be asked it would be around the ages and timeline for the events.

 First, I’m building my own world not trying to fit it in, so I’ve only highlighted certain aspects of the American Revolutionary War. There likely would have been a lot going on politically that I’ve completely chosen to bypass in the story. But for context, the Boston Tea Party took place in 1773, and the Declaration of Independence was in July of 1776. 

So for ages -  The thing to remember is that children began working young, and so Scott and Gordon both joined the ship when they were just 9. Benji was 10, and Elias was 24 when they joined the ship’s crew, so Elias would’ve been like an older brother figure to Scott, Benji, and Gordon. Elias was just 41 (super young!) during the events of Hold Fast and Gordon was 17 (practically a baby! *hugs the poor boy*)

I’ve kind of used the fact that the series doesn’t quite understand how much is reasonably feasible for someone to have accomplished by the time IR has started... and used it to my advantage. So all the boys have started their educations very early and excel at their fields of study

Highlights from the above: 

1758 - Gordon is born, Elias and Benji join the crew

1761 - Scott joins the crew

1763 - Jeff’s wife dies in childbirth of Alan

1767 - Gordon joins the crew

1768 - Summer, events of “Lord Gordon’s Reel” (Gordon is 10, Virgil is 13)

1772 - DAD DISAPPEARS *GASP* (No, don’t ask me. I’m not telling yet)

 1775 - Autumn, the rigging breaks, killing Elias (41) on impact with the deck and injuring Gordon (17). Detailed in “Hold Fast”

1776 - Virgil and Gordon spend spring in Charleston, while Gordon heals from his injuries. Ch 9 & 10 of “Hold Fast” AND  in late summer Virgil is gifted a scrimshaw viola for his birthday. Detailed in “Oak & Ivory”

1778 - Main story

Appendix  B as in Benji

So, full disclosure, this story *was* also a writing challenge in OCs for me. I had wanted to build the world a bit more robustly, and create some background around some of the names and faces mentioned so far. So, if you were caught up with the main story, you will have seen Benji’s name and no Elias. (sorry)

He’s older than Scott by just a few years, so they are close friends, even with the ship hierarchy. Scott calls him “Ben” during a private scene in Hold Fast, and Benji was there when Scott found out about his mom. 

I need visuals, so the below is a heroforge miniature design of how I imagine Benji Lovell. It’s hard to tell from the below, but he’s got long hair that he keeps tied back.  

He technically reports in to Gordon, the boatswain/bosun (it’s the same word, folks), but he spends the evenings with John as part of the night shift. 

He’s a helmsman and shifts to deckhand work where needed, and he likes to listen to tunes and play dice in his down time. 

Before he joined the crew, he was an orphan from New York, and got by on the streets swiping folks’ coin purses. This is how he met Elias, whom you will see him call Eli, only once during the story. 

Appendix C as in Charleston

It was time I addressed my intents here, and I hope my reasoning makes sense. I just want to do right by the character of our boys and there’s so much wrong with a lot of our history. 

Charleston was not officially called Charleston until 1783, but it was founded in 1670 and was a primary trading city. It’s considered the South, so for the sake of not ignoring important, awful events in our history, it was absolutely a site of the triangle trade. None of that appears or will appear in the story or universe. It’s important not to erase this era, and it’s not my intention to. But I can tell you now our boys would NOT be okay with the slave trade  - in any universe. And addressing that in story... well it would be a different story.  Navigating the truth of this historical period in a way that remains thoughtful and compassionate, and with transparency is something that I would want to make sure I am handling correctly. 

I just want to put our boys on a boat, and yeah, I probably could’ve made a fully AU universe too, but I didn’t so here we are. So, they make their money off rum and sugar and cotton and fruits and stuff. Depends on how far they travel up and down the coast.

Willshire’s Boarding House is fake, but the street names Elliott and Church are real, as are the names of the rivers Cooper and Ashley. (I’ve never been to Charleston). 

Appendix D - Other Historical Details

Yes, coffee was a thing. Post Boston Tea Party it was used in place of tea. Thanks, taxes.

The flag they use in the funeral for Elias was a flag of New England. It would’ve been dated a bit earlier from what I could find, but I didn’t want to go with symbols that were too politically leaning in this case, and I didn’t think they’d use the colors of Britain, nor was the first (even unofficial) flag of America declared at the time the events took place. The pine tree does still represent the ire of the colonies and was still a symbol of freedom. 

If you are curious, here’s a site with some American flags - 1776, Grand Union was the first official flag

Music - yes, I look them up and research them to make sure they align with the timing. But I also take liberties knowing that stories and music may have existed via oral tradition before they were ever recorded or documented. “The Parting Glass” is a Scottish traditional song, written tune seemed to have come later in the 1780s, but it was printed on a broadside in the 1770s with threads of the stanzas as early as 1605. “Spanish Ladies” appears in chapter 1 - this is another with a bit of a later timeline. The name appears in 1624, but it’s believed to be more Napoleonic. It’s a British Naval song, and the stanzas recorded in its present format in 1796. 

Gulliver’s Travels was published in 1726. It’s a satire
