post tmagp 30 feeling

[auphelia]

Post-writing addition; this is just pure word vomit and lore thoughts that I don't think brings anything new to the discussion

I need to know how Dottore has either set himself out of Irminsul or found a way to retain information that is altered.

I'm more tempted to say the former; but that's based on how he's such a contrast to Nahida and her way of preserving/backing up information being to write fairy tales about it. I'd argue that Dottore must know this method of wrapping things up in imagery and metaphors - this is based on the assumption that Pierro is aware and a whole different string of thoughts I have on Khaenri'ah - but maybe found that to be too unreliable? And I'm having doubts that doing a knowledge capsule thing would work since that's a product of the divine and tied to the Akasha and thus the gnosis. Obviously he could've used this as a model system for creating something similar but outside of Irminsul, but that would mean figuring out how to bypass it in the first place and at that point why not go the whole way and ensure that you in your entirety cannot be manipulated by it?

It's established from winter night's lazzo that the plan is to have Scara obtain a vision ('conquering the divine gaze'), but Scara probably isn't aware of this because then it'd be impossible for him (based on my buddhism theory in which the eye of divinity is either attained after meditation and bestowed by the divine (vision) *or* you use an aid to let you attain that sight (delusion) (please mind that I also read into this distinction that from the perspective of Celestia, the gnosis is 'bestowed by the divine' and visions are the external tools, but I don't think the plan was to have Scara get a gnosis since that would likely require premature awakening of the heavenly principles nor make sense in terms of figuring out how to set humanity free and burn the old world).

Anyway.

Scara.

They are setting him on a path to obtain the 'divine gaze' (if they're even referring to a vision in the first place there) but they can't do like the stellaron hunters and give him a script. The deciding moment would likely never be real enough for him to obtain the vision. There's also the fact that he says "my endless cycle begins" as the shouki no kami

So Scara could be thinking that he will achieve salvation by receiving the gnosis. But what's this endlelss cycle he refers to? It could be eternal rule sure, but why add 'cycle' then? With all the things about Teyvat running in cycles, I can't help but wonder if everything is fabricated as a way to possibly remove Wanderer's connection from Kabukimono's fate (a small scale test on what happens when someone is removed directly from Irminsul instead of by consuming Arle's fires which leave remnants/ashes behind)

All this to say that Wanderer seems like a speedrun test of the possible plan to set humanity free, performed on a particularly resilient subject.

BUT DOTTORE NEEDS A WAY TO FUCKING REMEMBER THIS OR IT'S WORTHLESS DATA

Something from a scientist pov that's always struck me as odd as well is the way he talks to Nahida during their confrontation, the comment about "it's time to tidy up the equipment" is so odd. There's no enthusiasm for the results despite clearly showing that he understands how any outcome of an experiment is still valuable data. It just tells me that the experiment is far from over and that the loss was calculated, the phase where he won't interfere directly is just starting at that point.

And if the segment system was the failsafe for it then killing them off is a major loss. Also, it's stated that Nahida looks into Omega's mind. It made me think that memories were probably removed from Omega before he was sent to Sumeru? No way Nahida would remain that calm if she saw their plans (maybe she didn't have acces to everything although Omega still gives the vibe that he doesn't know what she's seen and is uncomfortable with it - was something placed there as bait for her?) because they must have planned for the possibility that Nahida would get an opportunity to look and it could be a liability if she got insight into everything the Fatui know (unless they're hoping to sway her into doing something or it's a deliberate plot to have something put into Irminsul by her connection to it)

Anyway, I forgot why I started writing this post. Happy Monday. I'm on 6 hrs of sleep since Friday.

Y'all know Fragment 31, the most famous poem written by our Goddess and Saviour Sappho. This is how it ends: "but everything must be endured, since..." and we lost the last part of the verse.

Like, what do you mean "we lost" it?

I need to know, i need to fucking know what's the reason behind everything we have to endure and how we can do that.

[just got a breakdown over this don't judge me, okay?]

[melverie]

I feel like something all of us just kinda glossed over is this line here

What does Nightbringer mean with entering "the past, present, or even future of someone you don't know"?

Why put 'they' in quotation marks? Is it just because they're not the brothers that we got to know but rather their past versions, or is there more to it?

What does he meannnn....

[the-kipsabian]

going through it tonight

[mythicalm0thii]

Wait wait did we ever find out which entity affected Father Edwin Burroughs in MAG 19-20?? I'm relistening and I'm assuming it's The Eye with the whole being exposed thing but The Distortion also works so I'm confused

Did he die in the end?? I don't think he did sooo

Do we ever hear of him again? He seemed so devestated at what he did and I just need to know if hes alright

Also what if Jonathan did manage to interview him?? Imagine that

*kicks open door after listening to episode 60 *

ITS ELIAS

Based on all the little scraps I got from spoilers cause I was too curious and impatient, along with the clues Im getting now, I just know its that fricking sus british man (Elias, not Jon).

For one, because of the spoilers I only know that Elias is revealed to be evil later, that his name is Jonah and that he can assumingly watch and know things about others. Keep in mind thats all the facts I have. I dont have the hows or the whys to give me enough dots to smoothly connect Elias to all these cases of people being watched from Jon to Gertrude to the man from the Crusader episode to the woman in this episode.

Theres probably more but my memory is crap (I should really start making a map with red string and notecards but I dont have enough room).

Now I could be wrong because someone (or more likely something) could've killed Gertrude, but my guess is leaning hard on Elias.

Idk what those papers were about though. The ones the lady in ep. 60 had thrown away or smth and replaced the cargo with petrol that was absolutely going to the Magnus Institute. However in on of the animatics I watched that had spoilers galore (see: "Martin's arson asmr" on youtube) Elias was very adamant that Martin didnt burn any more statements and went to harsh lengths to make sure Martin didnt.

Idk whats going on with that the same way I dont know why the tape recorder in THAT video seemed sentient or smth. Maybe in order to read their minds or watch them, they have to have a statement in the Archives, but that doesnt make too much sense seeing as how the man from the Crusader episode hadn't put in a statement and he felt the feeling of being watched just as much as the others, and Jon felt like that before he gave his own statement after episode 39.

I NEED ANSWERS!!

[just-null]

Do you ever do requests? If so, do you ever plan on drawing some Yandere with the Hantengu clones? :D hope you have a good day/night!!!

Mentioning an unfamiliar name

yes!! I love yanderes.. and these guys.. these guys are such good material...... nods nods..

I'm not sure about requests..I assume you mean drawing requests? I suppose if it REALLY catches my interest enough, I'd do it, but it'd probably just be line art/sketches.

Prompt 81

Danny blinked at the small children Ellie was holding the hand of, looking quite proud of herself. The small children- between ten and twelve so somewhere similar to Ellie’s age- who both practically stank of magic and Gods. 

He took a deep breath, pinching the bridge of his nose even as Dan cackled while opening the door more to let them inside. “Alright, what’s your name, kids?”

“B-billy…um, Billy Batson...” “‘m Percy! Percy Jackson.” 

“Nice to meet you two- any idea where in your family you have a god or two, because one of you definitely smells like Zeus and I’m pretty sure Poseidon and I am not dealing with either of my half-brothers.”
