“If we refer to the Ancient Writings” I mumble with a frown and grave expression flipping through HOK2's Dawn album by the candlelight like an ageless wizard

So I wanted to get my Kingdom timeline theory and general theories/observations sorted out before Mujin's mv comes out.

This is also primarily Excalibur and Black Crown. Personally I think Ascension, Promise and Long Live The King are all fairly straight forward. As for Karma I do think it's also straight forward but, the music video itself is mostly dancing and Chiwoo being tied up. I think any theory crafting or anything for this one will have to come mostly from the lyrics and frankly I've never been good at that so I'll leave Karma up to other people

HOK 1

Excalibur Teaser 1 (Meteor Ver) :09 Electric sounds :19 Some type of magic when he hits Excalibur on the ground

Excalibur MV Teaser :03 Is that a geyser?

Excalibur :43 Something going on with Ivan's staff that includes electricity 1:11 They've got a general overarching motif with circles/the moon/the sun 1:33 I think this shows that Jahan found Arthur first. Arthur seems lost and like he doesn't know what's going on or that he's in danger before Jahan grabs him and runs away with him. 1:59 There's still some smoke edited in but not nearly as much as the 3rd teaser for some reason 2:10 Dann is very calm about Arthur's kingdom burning around them 2:34 Arthur looks back for Jahan's approval not Dann's. Arthur looks back at Dann but they don't share a nod like Arthur and Jahan do Dann just seems to be preparing himself. Also Dann's makeup here makes him look like he's crying 3:23 Arthur raises Excalibur up, lighting starts at the hilt, he hits Excalibur to the ground, lightning is through the blade of the sword, lightning starts sporadically all around them, he pushes the sword into the ground again and lightning flows through the sword again. Both of those times also lines up with the others moving in the choreo. Something magical then peters off into flames around the sword when he swings it. He stabs himself with electricity still hitting around them. 4:09 He got Excalibur at some point while in the desert wearing the white clothes

We know the dance holds a lot of meaning for all their songs and on the whole I'm not good at figuring out what they mean but I feel like I've got something here. 3:03 and on we've got Dann falling back onto a bunch of swords, Arthur stabbing himself with Excalibur and all the members falling to the ground. That got me thinking about the timeline for this music video specifically.

Arthur finding Excalibur is first, Something happens and all the other kings either die or almost die and Arthur sacrifices himself to save them, Arthur somehow is brought back and finds his kingdom very different from how he left it and that's where Jahan finds him, the shots of the other members were either of them dealing with things without Arthur or them all regrouping after they found out he's back, Dann shows him what his kingdom has become, possibly one of the members returns Excalibur to him, then they set off together

HOK2

Karma Teaser 3 :17 Is there actually something to Chiwoo tied up being overlayed on Louis?

HOK3

Black Crown MV Teaser :17 The lightning is back

Black Crown :29 Chaos Chiwoo is tied up and it seems like we're looking at him through some kind of reflection? that's getting broken up by drops of water :30 Chaos Mujin with the hands through the wall. I've seen other people speculating they're the 108 spirits. 1:16 Dann is arguing with everyone but is mostly talking to Arthur through all of this. Arthur doesn't look away while him and Chiwoo are fighting. Arthur and Chiwoo stop fighting, Jahan is holding Chiwoo back, Louis and Mujin are bickering and Dann is still arguing with everyone. Jahan is the one who picks it up and gives? it to Ivan 1:20 Chiwoo reaches for it and Arthur stops him, Dann and Jahan also react to pull him away 1:30 There are multiple people with Chaos Dann here all on their knees around him and at 1:38 He is on his knees with them standing around him 2:56 Is this another place that they implied Mujin has magic and if so he can do a lot of different things 3:27 Fate Dann and Chiwoo are the only other Fate versions we see lying on the ground besides Fate Ivan when he dies. Is this implying that Dann and Chiwoo also let go of their Fate halves? Or from 3:27-3:35 can it be implied that they either already have or partially have done away with their Fate selves and Fate Jahan is helping to bring them back? I know I'm not wording this thought quite right

HOK5

Long Live The King 1:48 This shot is in reverse 1:52 Is normal again

Timeline 1 Karma > Excalibur > Black Crown > LLTK. Ascension and Promise don't fit yet. The events of Promise happen before and during Ascension while Ascension is during and after Promise Whatever they were running from in Karma led to them putting Arthur into his sleep/dying then I think there's a gap here. Something happened after Arthur regained his throne that led them/Ivan to believing they/he needed the Black Crown.

Timeline 2 Just adds Ascension and Promise Karma > Excalibur > Promise > Ascension > Black Crown > LLTK. This fully depends on how much you believe the last point I made about Black Crown. If Chiwoo and Dann truly do either fully or partially let go of their fate selves I can only see that making sense after the events of their music videos where they have already lost everything.

Day 8

Master/Slave

Arthur x Louis - HOK2 era

Dongsik has no idea how long he has been on this floor, waiting for what Yunho is about to give him. His anticipation is building, as Yunho slowly approaches, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. As Yunho's fingers brush against Dongsik's lips, a rush of sensations runs through Dongsik's body, making him shiver.

“Open.” Yunho says in a low voice that only comes out in these situations.

His mouth drops open completely, his eyes fixed up at Yunho as he awaits his next command, a thumb presses down against his tongue and holds his mouth open. The elder looks unmoved as he gives a single nod, soft lips close around his thumb as Dongsik begins to suck on the digit in his mouth for only a moment before it is taken away from him with a deep chuckle.

Yunho leans in closer, his warm breath tickling Dongsik's ear. "You've been such a good little boy for me this week" he whispers seductively, sending a shiver down Dongsik's spine. "Now, I want you to beg for your master’s cock."

Dongsik whimpers, his voice trembling with need. "Please, Master, I beg you... I need your cock. I crave it, ache for it. Please, take me, use me as you please. I'm yours, completely yours."

“Do you deserve it, pet?”

“No, I only deserve what you are willing to give me, Master.”

Yunho chuckles and stands up.

“That’s all I needed to hear…”

Chiyou as a king is always described as a powerful, ruthless, and strong being, capable of manipulating the weather to his liking (him conjuring fog to help him during his final battle against the Yellow Emperor). There is no mention of him being benevolent as a king, he is first and foremost a warrior before anything else. It is what he is remembered for after all. King Ivan the IVth (the Terrible) for example actually did a few decent things at the beginning of his reign, though his legacy is mostly one of violence, there are traces of him being a good ruler, so not everything is black or white (but we all know that already I am sure).

Chiwoo being punished by Karma is central to the title track and HOK2. The very first line of the song refers to some difficulties Chiwoo encountered with his peers, and it's further emphasized by the fact that he is running away from Karma. Maybe this is why he is chained up in Black Crown : he's an unreliable narrator and king that shouldn't be trusted.

In the retellings of Chiyou's final battle (that lasted a decade, talk about parties that never end /j) it is said that he conjured fogged on the battlefield to hide the sun to weaken the enemy forces, and I think this is what this scene in the MV illustrates.

Chiwoo could have used the other kings as a mean to fulfill his selfish goals, and got punished for it. In my opinion, nothing indicates in the MV that Chiwoo is a “good” king, he's neutral at best, and greed started corrupting his heart in the long run. However, he has some sort of redemption arc at the end of the song as he accepts his fate and asks Karma to come over for the last time “Take my way”.

The real question is : Are any of the kings actual good ones ?

Not sure if I should be asking this question, but this just hit me and I might seem to be dumb for being oblivious about this...

Has it come to your mind ever since before that Chiwoo was actually a villain character, too?

Maybe at some point it might make some sense given that he was punished by his own karma (getting tied up) because of what he did but the rest is…idk.
