#Is Aion okay?

[teecupangel]

Just a little weird but would it be fun for Desmond to be a demi god or something and he does not know.

In the past ofcourse

It would be so easy to give that child the power of our artifacts and let him do as he pleases in any time that we have decided on but…

Shall we make it more interesting?

We shall let that child believe he is still human and will not place any markings upon him to show his change of status.

(Shall we let him have a blackened arm still or shall we also give him false relief?)

We will not upgrade his Vision as well.

(Although, at this point, we can be certain he has already mastered it to its fullest potential.)

And we will leave no instructions nor any messages for him but we shall give him a ‘gift’ worthy of his status.

He shall have the power to bend reality to his will thru the use of the Parcae System.

As you must have already received the latest draft of Parcae System’s user manual, I will only give a brief introduction to the system.

We will set that child as the sole user of the latest beta version of the Parcae System. The system itself have three major requirements to be activated:

Requirement 1: Another person must start the line that will be set into reality with “I wish…”. No variations (ex: “It would be nice if…”, “I hope…”, etc) will be accepted.

Requirement 2: Desmond must agree to that wish verbally. Simply thinking it will not activate the system.

Requirement 3: Both 1 and 2 must be done in succession and 2 must be done a minute or less after 1 is complete.

Only when all three requirements are satisfied will the Parcae System activate.

The Parcae System is, of course, limited to the possible branches available in the Calculations.

And it must always keep the changes to a minimum as to not cause too large waves.

And it is only allowed to not change reality if and only if the branch it will move to will not interfere with the system’s main objective:

“Keep Desmond Miles alive.”

Of course, this system was hastily created during the final days of Minerva of the Capitoline Triads.

As such, it is not without any flaws.

As you have noted in your previous report, this system does not have a failsafe for any changes that would affect us or those who have created us.

You have suggested we force the system to exclude us from any changes the child would create but is it not a good reward for that child to be given the choice of the fate that awaits us if he does learn of us?

Does the thrill of finally being shut off not excite you, Chronus?

Looking forward to your inputs and recommendations,

Aion

Lyrics:

Hi Käärijä Hi Bess Haluuksä lähtee ajeleen? Tottakai tottakai Okei, let's go

Mä en haluu nukkuu sun kaa Mulla oli mieles muuta En haluu asuntolainaa, mitään vakiopaikkaa, lähtee talvee pakoon Espanjaan Jos hiljaisuutta puuttuu, mun kaa niin aika hiton harvoin sitä saat niin sano, oisko se OK, jos ei osteta Volvoo Oltais naapurin kaa kolmistaan

Mullei oo pelkääjälle paikkaa Mä painan kaasun pohjaan

Ajan omaa kaistaa, Viel ku on aikaa, Vielä ku on bensaa suonissa, Sä voit hyppää kyytiin tai jäädä nyyhkiin, Miettii jonkun toisen huolia, Ajan omaa kaistaa, Voit tulla maistaa nopeeta elämää mun huulilta, Mun sydän on täynnä, Sit ku tankki on tyhjä, Aion elää ku oon elossa

Mulla on isääntymisen aikeet, mut lisääntymisen paineet Tääl on synnytystalkoot, olkoot, yks hailee Elämä on yht Lintsii, mut käymät vielä kaikki laitteet Ikääntyminen on iisii, mut mut kasvu vaan niin vaikeet

Taas viikonloppuna hiiala-hiiala-hopsansaa Näin huputiti-hummani laukkaa jälleen Möttönen pöydässä poksahtaa, se on viikon Koistinen kaupan päälle Äiti pojastaan pappia toivoi, sai sadomasokistisen toyboyn, se on henkilökohtainen voi-voi-voi-voi-voi

Ajan omaa kaistaa, Viel ku on aikaa, Vielä ku on bensaa suonissa, Sä voit hyppää kyytiin tai jäädä nyyhkiin, Miettii jonkun toisen huolia, Ajan omaa kaistaa, Voit tulla maistaa nopeeta elämää mun huulilta, Mun sydän on täynnä, Sit ku tankki on tyhjä, Aion elää ku oon elossa

Jotain liikoja haluan kai, et aina ois lauantai, mä (en) syntyny vaan synnyttämään Jotain liikoja haluan kai, et aina ois lauantai, mä en syntyny vaan synnyttämään

Ajan omaa kaistaa, Viel ku on aikaa, Vielä ku on bensaa suonissa, Sä voit hyppää kyytiin tai jäädä nyyhkiin, Miettii jonkun toisen huolia, Ajan omaa kaistaa, Voit tulla maistaa nopeeta elämää mun huulilta, Mun sydän on täynnä, Sit ku tankki on tyhjä, Aion elää ku oon elossa

Hi Käärijä Hi Bess Do you wanna go for a drive? Of course of course Okay, let's go

I don't want to sleep next to you (translator's note 1) I had something else in mind I don't want a mortgage, a regular haunt (t.n. 2), go to Spain to escape the winter If silence is missing, with me well you're going to get that so damn rarely so say, would it be OK, if we didn't buy a Volvo Would be throuple with the neighbour (t.n. 3)

I don't have a place/seat for someone who's afraid (t.n. 4) I'm putting the pedal to the metal

I drive on my own lane, While there's still time, While there's still petrol in the veins, (ref. 1) You can jump in (or: you can ride with me), Or stay and sob, Thinking about someone else's worries, I drive on my own lane, You can come and taste fast life from my lips, My heart is full, Once the fuel tank is empty, I'm going to live while I'm alive

I have intentions to become a dad, but the pressure to reproduce There's a childbirth bee (t.n. 5) going on here, whatever, I don't care Life is an (Linnanmäki) amusement park, but I haven't been to all the rides yet Aging is easy but growing up is just so difficult

On the weekend hiiala-hiiala-hopsansaa again Here's how my huputiti-horsey gallops again (ref. 2) Moët & Chandon/Champagne pops at the table, it's a week-long hangover on the house Mom wanted her son to become a priest (ref. 3) What she got was a sadomasochistic toyboy That's a personal oh-dear-dear-dear-dear

I drive on my own lane, While there's still time, While there's still petrol in the veins, You can jump in (or: you can ride with me), Or stay and sob, Thinking about someone else's worries, I drive on my own lane, You can come and taste fast life from my lips, My heart is full, Once the fuel tank is empty, I'm going to live while I'm alive

I guess I want too much something That it'd always be Saturday I wasn't born just to give birth I guess I want too much something That it'd always be Saturday I wasn't born just to give birth

I drive on my own lane, While there's still time, While there's still petrol in the veins, You can jump in (or: you can ride with me), Or stay and sob, Thinking about someone else's worries, I drive on my own lane, You can come and taste fast life from my lips, My heart is full, Once the fuel tank is empty, I'm going to live while I'm alive

translator's notes: 1: technically "I don't want to sleep with you", but sleep as in, actual sleep 2: could also be "a permanent job"? 3: could also be "would have a threesome with the neighbour"? 4: shotgun seat in Finnish can be called "pelkääjän paikka", lit. the seat/place of the afraid one 5: synnytys = childbirth, giving birth, talkoot = bee (as in, voluntary, unpaid gathering for carrying out a major task, such as harvesting or construction, as a community)

[nebula-chao-agere]

lucky number 13 for the headcanon? 😎

I’m sorry!!! I got both of these almost at the exact same time!!!

This might be one of my longer posts here oops. I'll try to keep it short, but this is my FAVORITE boy,, Gonna try to limit myself to ten bullet points, but I already know it's not happening.

The red, guitar shaped silly band! This is one of my super favorites,, oh no,,

Regressor! Crow

(Crow x Aion) (!!!Diaper/Pull-up mention) (Ungodly amounts of projection)

He's such a tiny little guy, oh my goodness,, Ranges from a few months - 3 years

His Mama (Aion) is his entire world when regressed. He has to show Aion every single drawing, every toy he's playing with, even if his Mama has already seen it. And every time, Aion will praise his little one, excited to see his baby so happy.

Doesn't speak all that much when regressed, but he will babble and 'talk' with his hands almost constantly. He's not nonverbal, far from it, but it's rare that anyone knows what the little guy is talking about. To no one's surprise, Aion is almost always able to figure out what his little one is talking about and what he wants.

They use one of the spare rooms in the BRR studio as a makeshift playroom for the regressors there + anyone that comes over for playdates. (Also, on the rare occasion Shuzo comes over to take care of his little Rom, or Rom takes care of his little Shuzo). Crow doesn't like to use it if anyone else is in there and will typically opt to hide in Aion's room with him, Aion keeping all his little stuff hidden for him in there.

He was very hesitant about it first but eventually started to wear pull-ups and diapers when regressed. They help him feel little, and Aion assures him there's nothing wrong with needing the extra padding to keep him safe and clean.

Already being a surprisingly quiet little one, the little hedgehog almost never tells Aion when he's had an accident or needs a change, shame being the main factor for him being so reluctant to tell Aion. As a result, Aion has become very diligent when it comes to making sure Crow is clean.

He will chew and teethe on anything and everything. He has a lion plushie that his Mama bought for him, and ended up having to buy him a paci clip and pacifier special for that lion with how much Crow would chew on the ears. "How about we use our pacifier instead, okay baby?" Aion tried, offering his paci from his diaper bag, but Crow didn't wanna put the lion stuffie down. He looked up innocently at his Mama, his tail swishing back and forth, lion plushie ear still in his mouth. He just giggled up at his Mama, giving a small babble as he returned to his teething and playing on his tummy time mat. Aion sighed but couldn't find it in himself to stay mad. He ruffled his baby's hair, knowing it wouldn't be reasonable to be upset with him when he was this stressed.

While Aion is his main caregiver, Crow will also let Rom and/or Yaiba take care of him. While they mostly act as babysitters when Aion is busy, sometimes Rom just scoops up the little guy to have someone to take care of when his own little one is too busy. He always gets so excited to hang out with Rom, Rom being like the cool uncle who will play cars and trucks with him. (This also works vice versa. Aion will happily babysit Shuzo, the little one being a calmer kiddo, and never a hassle for his caregivers.) Yaiba is like a big brother to Crow, telling him the coolest bedtime stories, and always coming up with the best games for them to play.

Crow has an abundance of farm animal toys, including a whole little barn to put them in. Cyan once called it a dollhouse when she was in the nursery with Crow, and he refuses to bring it out of Aion's room ever again. She hadn't meant anything mean by it, she has been regressed as well, and wanted to try and play with Crow, but the little guy was too nervous to speak and overall having none of it.

Aion found out about Crow's regression when he stumbled upon a pacifier in shared kitchen one night, finding a very distressed Crow soon after, looking all over the place for something. (This is based on an old fic of mine, if anybody wants it, I may consider rewriting it or at least editing it to be less "oh I wrote this a WHILE ago.") Aion was anything but judgmental for once, offering his partner and bandmate a safe space in his room, which would eventually lead to Aion becoming his caretaker.

He carries a baby blankie almost everywhere, even hiding it in his bags for traveling or even just shows. During a backstage meet one time, a fan almost found the blankie, and he damn near had a heart attack.

Aion has the longest list in the world of nicknames for Crow when he's regressed, but Crow's favorite is when his Mama calls him by name. He almost never does it, especially when Crow isn't regressed, calling him "rodent" almost non-stop. But when Aion opens his arm for his "darling little Crow..." the little one will run forward, almost crying every single time.

When Aion takes care of other little ones, Crow can get a bit jealous. He will go out of his way to avoid regressing when he sees Aion taking care of Yaiba, Rom, Shuzo, or Ailaine, thinking he'll stress him out more. The first time he saw him acting as a caregiver for Rom, he refused to regress for weeks, thinking that Aion was growing bored of taking care of him. Now, he doesn't mind when Aion takes care of other little ones, but will refuse to regress during any of it, not wanting to add any more pressure on Aion. When they're alone again though, Aion always makes sure to check on him after. "You're still Mama's little treasure Crow, and nothing will ever ever change that..."

Okay nightmare theproject blunt rotation Oulixes, Dalilah, Aion, Dolos, August, Eris and Alias. Not just because of them individually but because of their combined dynamic.

Oh that would be so fucking fucked up . I suddenly understand Oulixes because if I got high under these circumstances I probably would hit the Usotsuki special as well

[four-of-them-showdown]

Propaganda under the cut!!

Uriel, Sun Wukong, ABFD, Secretive Plotter:

"Okay so like imagine that you're bored as hell looking through livestreams until you come across this fucking insane man with no face. You then preceed to essentially cyberbully/stan him for all eternity. And this happens to three other people who also wont shut the fuck up about this man, so you more or less become a fanclub for this cringefail maniac. Also, yes, that's Uriel from the Bible except she's wlw and keeps shipping the insane faceless guy with his super hot extremely murderous companion. ABFD is a 14 year old chunni, Sun Wukong is THAT Sun Wukong and ends up adopting the crazy guy as his brother. And then Secret Plotter [■ ■ ■] [■ ■ ■] [■ ■ ■] and ends up becoming the adoptive father of [■ ■ ■] and raises [■ ■ ■] with his companions from [■ ■ ■]. They don't rly have a group name (although three of them DO form an idol group) from what I remember so you can just call them the Kim Dokja fanclub."

Crow, Aion, Yaiba, Rom:

"They’re all so stupid (affectionate)"

Norn9: Var Commons Part 7 - Akito Shukuri Route

I am very intrigued by the relationship Akito and Nanami share since he obviously knows her powers and whatever she's done in the past. And I have a soft spot for Akito because he's always so considerate towards others by cooking for them all the time and teaching others. I'm glad Heishi stood up for Nanami when Akito couldn't hide his utter disdain towards having to be paired with Nanami. Akito's hatred for Nanami really runs quite deep, although I can understand why he slapped her hand away and wouldn't want Nanami to touch him since touching someone is how she erases memories. I love how Nanami is basically stalking him lmao, I mean I guess it is monitoring haha. I died when Akito was confused about whether he was scared or not of the Hiyoko? that looks like a penguin hahahaha, even his fear is confused😂 HAHAHA, I love Hiyoko Channel and how they bribe Natsuhiko with books and stuff to interview him. It's so cute how one alcoholic drink is his limit, lmao when he took the gun out when the hiyoko called him adorable for that being his limit though😂 Can Akito see and talk to Aion?? Maybe after talking to her, she gives him the water powers? Honestly, it always feels so bad to see and hear how much guilt Nanami feels, enough that she's basically ready to die if Akito wants it and that's very saddening. Of course Akito is too kind to even think about wanting that though. His look of concern towards Nanami when he grabbed her as she nearly fell to her death was very telling of how he really feels. Lmao, I love Kakeru so much, he's had enough of their arguing so he got some handcuffs specifically made just to force them to get along better hahaha. How will Akito cook in peace?!

Heishi is so random it's hilarious. I love how he was talking about rainbows with Ron, and he was like can you just get to the point hahaha. Poor Akito got electrocuted lol! I guess having Kakeru get sick now is the only way to keep Akito and Nanami stuck together haha, a mad Koharu is always the best. It's tough seeing Nanami and Akito together because as Masamune said, Akito gets hurt when he says crap about Nanami too. He tries his best to distance himself from her so he won't know anything about her circumstances and can keep on hating her, but the more he talks with her, the more he's starting to understand that she hates her powers and for having using used it in the past, and that makes it hard for him to continue hating her. Akito reassuring Nanami that Mikoto and Ron will be okay in his own rough way was sweet. Seeing Nanami so genuinely smile and feel happy that Akito truly is a kind person even to someone he hates so much is so heartwarming. The first thing I thought of was they could just check if the barrier around the ship is still up to see if Mikoto is alive, so I'm glad Nanami realised that haha. LOL at Nanami nuzzling herself against Akito's fluffy ears in the dream hahaha! It was so cute when he ran away lmao. Even though Nanami is still understandably confused, I was really happy when Akito hugged her in real life after the dream and tried to tell her that the one who tried to kill her wasn't him. I'm glad he's communicating with her trying to tell her that he knows that whatever happened in the past isn't completely her fault and that he doesn't blame her as much anymore, or at least not to the extent that he still wants her to die for it.

It's actually pretty hilarious that Nanami has a solid reason for ruining food, or at least Akito's food, and it's because she doesn't want to get used to how good it is otherwise she won't be able to eat ninja/emergency rations anymore haha! I really like how considerate and thoughtful Heishi is in this route. He always asks Nanami what she wants, checks how she's doing, doesn't force her to do anything but basically lets her know that if she doesn't want to stay with Akito as his partner, she can change any time. It's really nice to see how supportive and kind he is to watch out for her all the time because she doesn't watch out for herself. Akito so thoughtfully caring for Nanami is still the best though, so cutee🥰 I can totally understand why Nanami is scared though. I don't think I could handle Akito hating her again either when he's been so gentle now, it would break my heart too. Omg, when Akito called Nanami cute, I died, they're so adorable. I was so happy for Akito and Nanami when they finally talked and Akito acknowledged that he was selfish and confusing because of his actions towards her. It was so nice when he hugged her. And I was so happy when Heishi was happy and relieved for them because they both finally had a proper talk. I appreciate Heishi so much in this route. It was so sweet when Nanami told Akito that she told Heishi she wanted to stay by Akito's side🥹 On the other hand, I am very curious about this love triangle with Kakeru, Koharu and Senri, like I'm so invested in what's going to happen to them, I hope no one dies. HAHAHA, I died when Akito basically said Nanami was prettier than Koharu and Mikoto, and Nanami responded saying he needs to see an optometrist😂 Omg, I loved it when Nanami asked for Akito's necktie instead of jewellery, that's definitely much more special! Akito so straightforwardly calling Nanami pretty because he finally realised that Nanami doesn't understand his tsundere attitude was so cute hahaha, he tried so hard that Nanami even fainted because of how overwhelmingly sweet it was hahahaha.

I feel really silly for not realising that Senri is actually Akito's younger brother when they both have the power of water. I was so happy for Senri when he realised he has a brother, it must have been so heartbreaking for Akito all this time to have been right next to him but not be able to be with him because Senri doesn't have memories of Akito. How could he not hate Nanami when Senri was always there reminding him of what he could have but can't have now. Akito kissing Nanami was so cuteee, how did Nanami even resist hahaha. It was nice to know that Akito asked Kakeru to take care of Senri and that's why he always bothered him. I won't say Kakeru was always "right" in the way he dealt with Senri but I do agree with Akito that it did help Senri come out of his room more. I thought Shiro was Kakeru's real dad all this time but he actually captured Kakeru when he was really young and brainwashed him before he was saved by The World?! I feel so bad for Kakeru... Seeing Akito push himself using powers when he's not a proper esper and slowly kill himself is just so tough to watch, especially since you can see how concerned Nanami is. I won't deny that Akito kissing her to reassure her was pretty cool though hahaha. I'm so glad Nanami remembered Akito's advice and stopped herself from adding random stuff to the rice porridge she made for Akito haha. Funnily though, I just realised that Akito hasn't cooked in his own route much at all lol! Now that we know Senri is Akito's little brother, it really makes all those times Akito cooked Senri's favourite food and stuff so much more meaningful, especially when they go back into the past and see how happily Senri talked about loving Akito's cooking and how much he loved Akito.

I don't blame Nanami because she was forced to erase Senri's memories of Akito, especially since the village people really might have killed Akito to make Senri continue to provide water for their village at the cost of his health and probably his life. But I can understand Akito's hatred especially before he got to know Nanami. Not only did Akito lose his little brother and their whole relationship, but he also lost the ability to protect his brother properly because of it, and that's caused Senri so much pain considering how Akito was the only one who actually cared for him. Senri became all alone and became afraid of people to the point that he doesn't want to interact with anyone, how could Akito and Nanami not feel guilt over that. I couldn't help but cry over Akito and Senri's past. It's so disgusting that the village people chased after Akito who was still a child to kill him just in case Senri remembers him. I can't imagine how terrible Akito must have felt to be forced to leave Senri behind. And I can't imagine what kind of life Senri had to live as basically a doll to give water to this village that just uses him and destroyed the only person who cared about him and made him all alone and think that he can't trust anything or anyone.

I can see why Akito blames himself and why he couldn't help but hate Nanami as a way to cope with everything, and yeah I can understand that the villagers were desperate but if you're so desperate to save yourselves that you lose your humanity for it, is there even any point in living? If you have to kill a child and force another child to basically be a slave that only exists to do your bidding, is that kind of life worth living? I don't have the answer for that, because many people desperately try their best to live for their own reasons, but knowing that these people didn't even hesitate in choosing to kill children to save themselves disgusts me, especially since the only reason presented in the game was that they didn't want to move somewhere else because this land has always been their ancestors etc so they had to keep it alive. Land that is only prosperous from exploiting children shouldn't exist at all. And lol as usual, this game really likes to skip over the plot, because they literally just said Aion broke and that's all! Lmao when Akito hid in his bed to hide from facing Senri, they're both so scared of facing each other, they're both so adorable😂😂 I really enjoyed how happy the ending was but I really wanted to see Akito and Senri talk!! Hopefully we get it in Last Era. The tragic love ending was pretty sad because Akito chose to live in a fake past where he could protect Senri and save the village, and Nanami chose to stay with him there. Akito trying his best to make jounamagashi because Nanami didn't get a chance to try it was so sweet. Seeing him do so much research and try his best to make it properly was so cuteee, especially when he faced against the hiyokos and didn't let his fear overwhelm him because he prioritised wanting to make Nanami happy.

Overall, I think Akito had the most satisfying route from beginning to end out of everyone so far. There's still some flaws of course but negligible because Akito was great. I loved seeing the progression of Akito's hatred to understanding and then love. I think the best thing was that even though you know Akito really hated Nanami for some reason, you could also see that he was too nice of a person to truly hate her, I'd say Nanami hated herself more than Akito did. It was really cute to see them awkwardly dance around each other's feelings, be confused about their romantic feelings for each other but still want to be beside the other despite the past. I love how he acknowledged that he distanced himself from Nanami not only because he hated her for what she did, but also because if he didn't know her, it was easier to hate her and blame her. Honestly, I really wished we got a proper reunion between Akito and Senri but I loved their back story and Akito's hatred was totally understandable in the end even if Nanami was forced to do what she did. And the romance was honestly really cute! They're both so shy and awkward at times, but also super adorable in how honest they can be. I loved it when they both tried to get the other to say their first name haha, definitely the best overall route! Kakeru is still my favourite guy though!

"Two separate Gods so alike, they are mistaken as one." Hm hmmmmmm

Okay, so right off the bat, we know Dionysus and Zagreus are often mixed with one another, but I don't believe Dionysus would be Y/n father. It's just... doesn't seem right (or I'm missing something).

Next, we have Chronos and Cronos, whose names often get them confused with one another, but I don't think they have overlapping domains. Chronos is the personification of time, while Cronos was a god of harvest and a Titan. (Chronos is sometimes also equated to another Titan called Aion, Titan/God of eternity, personifying cyclical and unbounded time.) So maybe there's something there with time and memory? I feel this one is a stretch...

I know there are a few other myths, but I'm drawing a blank at the moment, so I'll have to sit and stew while I try to remember. ;w;

Xenoblade 2 - Final Chapter (Part 9) - And thus, boy met girl.

It's time to defeat the Artifice Aion, and Malos, with the power of TWO BLADES AT ONCE!

..seriously, why don't we do this sort of dual-wielding more often?

Everyone's giving it their all! And I learned that Tora's shield is apparently A ROCKET LAUNCHER AS WELL.

Can you still not see Malos? Are the particle effects in front of your eyes too big and blinding for you to see? Maybe you should turn effects off.

Malos.. I am not sure if you're underestimating Rex, or if you're intentionally trying to push him to be better now.

And these next few shots just sum up Rex's determination throughout most of this game perfectly.

And thankfully, Rex is also not doing this for any one person. This is HIS will at play. Sure, overall he's doing it for everyone, but he's doing it for himself first. Rex has found himself some purpose.

Jin didn't want to die, he just wanted to go out on a date with you Malos! Can't you see? Or if not a date, he wanted to just hang out at least. And if destroying the world was how you wanted to spend time together, he was okay with it!

..wait... that isn't a good thing...

Okay, Malos is being a bit realistic here. So many people died and I guess Malos realized what was ACTUALLY going on at some point, but yeah... once you start trying to genocide, it's KINDA hard to get forgiveness..

Rex.. I get what you're saying at a conceptual level. I really do. But maybe don't outright forgive the person in the process of committing world-wide genocide...

Wait... Was that Shulk's voice? Is... isn't that what Shulk said during his fight with Zana? Does that mean the endings of Xenoblade 1 and 2 take place AT THE EXACT SAME TIME? I was assuming some sort of time-dilation shenanigans but I guess not.

Our time to beat Malos is running out.. Though I still don't know why the conduit will disappear...

....wait... I just realized Alvis was that 3rd Core Crystal of the Trinity Engine wasn't he...

I have decided on a list of Facts about the lucifer and zephyrus swap au and for pure shock value I will be giving no context and just listing them. you can ask questions but this is just ‘isn’t this crazy?’ time. Okay number one. Rio is back. number two. Oulixes died from a stress related issue about 8 years before we see the plot. number three. Hannah is back and Aion ISNT‼️. number four Kronos and dalilah are married.

YAYYYYYYYY sorry I heard Kronos and Dalilah are still married and blacked out what ? Dunno why but my mind immediately jumped on the idea that this implied Ares ruined their marriage in the original timeline which . She didn’t but hilarious mental image anyways .

Hell yeah Rio !!! Baby’s first case !! So Shimmer’s vtuber model is back ? Oh damn Oulixes - wait what the hell is he stressing about ? Guy’s got future sight ? (I think Hannah just killed him and was really good at covering it up maybe )

Bloody Labyrinth left me with feelings so here have Crow getting his much needed hug.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey." Crow startled from where he sat on the balcony. He turned around and saw Aion standing behind him. "Uh what are you doing here?" Crow fiddled nervously.

"I wanted to check on you, may I?" Aion gestured to the empty space beside Crow. "Uh yeah yeah sure." Crow moved over even though he didn't have to.

Aion sat down next to him. They stayed silent for a few moments. "I'm sorry." Crow whispered eventually. "I know." Aion gave him a small smile.

"Are you okay?" Aion moved a hand to rest on Crow's knee. "I don't think so. I still feel awful about what happened." Crow shook his head.

"Don't be. You saw an opportunity to get us to where we wanted and you took it." Aion wrapped an arm around him. "But it wasn't us. It wasn't me." Crow whispered.

"I know. But Crow we all get lost sometimes. You've helped me find my way back so many times, helped us all. It was about time we helped you." Aion pulled Crow against him. "Thanks." Crow whispered.

"You're welcome." Aion said softly as he hugged Crow. Crow let out a few sniffles here and there.

Okay 👏🏻 @yiffradio @betwixtyiff

OP of the post here is. And just want to clear things up since I'm starting to get these kinds things on said post and I don't want to get it out of hand— if ever. While they were cultures in the middle east and beyond that had/have the concept of the winged lions, and other related beings way before religions like Judaism, Christianity and the Catholic occult like example said of Mesopotamia that I'll be showing here for "Pazuzu, Anzu, Lamassu/Shedu" to the Chinese "Pixiu" or even Greek or Egyptian Sphinxes. To even gods like Egyptian "Anhur", the Persian/Greek "Aion/Zervan" and Vishnu's avatar in Hinduism "Narasimha". Since mythic legends or religions can range from being inspired by something or by something that people saw/heard or well taken from somewhere else. Hence, it evolves from there—

I encourage to zoom in on the pics to read too

Anzu

My sweet Pazuzu, son of Ḫanpu, king of the wind-demons and protector of babies and pregnant women (a personal fav sitting on a shelf right with his ex gf turned enemy Lamashtu)

Lamassu/Shedu

Anhur and Narasimha

Aion/Zurvan/Mithra

Sphinxes, chimeras and manticores, etc

That said; the reason I said, what I said, isn't because "eurocentrics" (lol I'm from the Caribbean and took theology and thanatology courses in college as part of a career I originally wanted cause I like monsters and the mythology behind death rites), but is really it's because Ryoko Kui clearly based him more on the "biblical" and "Goetic occult" aspect than that of the other stuff specifically the demon "Buer" in the infernal dictionary along other of his Goetic Leonine brethren; which I'll show in a bit. Though, I'm not the only one who has pointed this out X

And if I dare say even Eldritch inspiration right there. Look at them eyes. Without discarding the influence of the others ofc. He definitely has some Zurvan going with him too.

It's just something I can clearly see after reading, ty, especially with the forms of the pig and sheep he was taking. The Aslan part is part jokingly and part how he comes off when first appearing to the other characters.

I think the PEAKEST villain character design of this era tbh is "What if Aslan was Lucifer/Satan" aka The Winged Lion
