Wait, holdup, these dogs have LORE?!??

Is there somewhere that we can read the outline of the full story?

The dogs have lore, I'm just bad at making it accessible and easy to follow. I'm not a writer so the thought of actually typing down this stuff and keeping track of it in a concise way feels intimidating, to put it mildly.

Please keep in mind that this post is SPG at best like a lot of pop culture paganism. It’s up to you to decide what you believe

What is a PCE?

A PCE is a pop culture entity while a PCD is a pop culture deity. The difference between the two is often based on personal definitions but the general consensus is that a PCE is a non god character while a PCD is canonically a god. A good example would be Genshin Impact. Childe would be a PCE as he isn’t a god while any of the archons would be considered a PCD.

The Theories

Now you may be asking how do these beings exist. Here are some of the most popular theories:

The Egregore Theory

So to start off what is an egregore? Good question. An egregore is a being that feed off of energy given to it by humans and uses that to fuel it/gain power. A lot of people consider deities in general to be egregores as a way of explaining how they sustain and get power.

How is an egregore formed? Now this is kinda up for debate but personally I like to think that stagnant energy kinda clumps together and forms what humans are putting their energy in.

The Deity Theory

This is the theory that pop culture entities are actually just deities wearing the faces of pop culture characters that sort of act like them to make humans more comfortable with them. My personal idea for this is say Apollo wants to work with your but you’re deep in another religion or don’t believe in the Greek gods so instead of showing up as Apollo he shows up as James Potter, or Will Solace, or Rapunzel, or any other Apollo coded character. This then leads you to trusting him more because he showed up as a character you love and trust.

The Combo Theory

So technically this is an addition to the egregore theory but it kind of expands on that. This is the theory that PCEs are egregores mixed with other beings. Let’s use Dabi as an example (because he is actually a combo being for me). The Dabi I work with has been around for hundreds of years. How is that possible if My Hero Academia has only been around for ten years? It’s possible because while Dabi is a Dabi Egregore, he is also a demon. Basically what happened was Dabi the egregore was walking around one day and stumbled upon a demon who acted almost exactly like him. The two then decided to do the equivalent of Steven universe fusion and became one. As for why they would do that, it was all about the power they could get being one being. Dabi the egregore gets power from people interacting with my hero and its fandom while the demon got power from a lives long deal he had going. They decided that (since they act so much alike and even look alike) it would be mutually beneficial to become one being. Does this mean that they can split and become demon and egregore again? Honestly no idea. From what I’ve been told, no because they have become so intertwined over the years that they don’t exist without the other. Going back to my Steven universe analogy, think of it like how in the final episode of the show white diamond takes Steven’s gem out of him expecting pink diamond to show up. Instead what happens is it’s Steven and there are now just two Steven’s that need each other to exist.

Here is a tumblr post that talks about pop culture paganism and god theory

head's up for all my international peeps: Book Depository announced on Twitter that they're closing on 26 April 2023.

per their tweet: "You can still place orders until midday (12pm BST) on 26 April and we will continue to deliver your purchases and provide support for any order issues until 23 June 2023."

preorders for books that come out before April 26 should be okay. preorders for books that come out after that - or whose dates are pushed back by their publishers - you may want to cancel, but they do say they'll refund you if they're unable to ship your order when the day comes.

for more details, see their FAQ page about the closure

the good news is, it looks like Blackwell's (UK) now offers free international shipping. here's their shipping page for details.

hopefully this means Book Depository closing won't hit as hard as it otherwise would have. free international shipping makes books so much more accessible to so many more readers.

here's the link to Blackwell's main site

More an fyi than an announcement

But if you would like to hear my random ramblings about Luca au I made a little thread in the Daycare Friend Pickup server in the au and oc index channel

[carcosa-commune]

Be warned guys. Book Depository is closing down, and I’m not sure how that affects preorders.

If, like me, you’ve ordered any of the special editions of books such as MDZS, you might want to look into seeing if it’s possible to get a copy any other way incase they won’t ship out. I’m personally a little upset/worried myself as I had the special edition on preorder since it was first announced last year, and there aren’t a lot of places online where I live that I trust to stock it anymore.

Please be aware, especially since I know many of you were preordering as and when a lot of new danmei titles were being announced.

Re: "What a funny combination of views!" I suspect belief in astrology is broad but shallow and often a symptom of having mistaken credulity toward woo for open-mindedness. I suspect lots of people believe in astrology but don't like the idea of giving power to somebody who "deeply believes" in astrology because they don't strongly believe in it themselves and object to the "deeply" part.
