Not me remembering this -
Robb bristled at that. "The Westerlings are better blood than the Freys. They're an ancient line, descended from the First Men. The Kings of the Rock sometimes wed Westerlings before the Conquest, and there was another Jeyne Westerling who was queen to King Maegor three hundred years ago."
- and thinking about Lyanna potentially using a similar argument to justify (internally or externally, say to someone like Benjen) her would-be marriage to Rhaegar, perhaps ahead of her "abduction". Robb's argument about the historical Jeyne Westerling's royal Targaryen marriage as adding to the prestige of his Jeyne Westerling was far from ideal. After all, Maegor's triple marriage to the "Black Brides", Jeyne included, was a great scandal in his, Maegor's, own time (to say nothing of Jeyne's infamous death in childbirth delivering "a legless and armless creature possessed of both male and female genitalia"); moreover, Maegor's only attraction (if the word can even be used) to Jeyne was in her proven fertility (though Jeyne's status as the widow of a man Maegor and his supporters had killed in battle may have added to her appeal in the eyes of the sadistic king). Anyone with this knowledge of Westerosi history, therefore, might have raised an eyebrow at Robb trying to use the historical Jeyne Westerling to bolster his new wife's queenly credentials - but Robb, desperate to claim whatever merit he could for Jeyne to support a marriage he very well knew had been a costly political error, was willing to use even this shaky argument if it could equate his Jeyne with her queenly indirect ancestress.
Similarly, Lyanna may have convinced herself that she could marry Rhaegar by using somehat or even quite weak historical Targaryen precedents. If Lyanna wanted Rhaegar to marry her - and I think she did, so that she could escape marriage to Robert - perhaps she believed she could enter into such a marriage because the Targaryens had in the past taken multiple wives. Of course, such an argument, if Lyanna had made it, would have been at best imperfect: according to Yandel, while "[s]ome of the sorcerer princes [of Valyria] also took more than one wife when it pleased them", this practice "was less common than incestuous marriage". Again, the example of Maegor would have been as unhappy a reminder to Lyanna as it might have been to Robb: the Black Brides generally were as poor an argument in support of Targaryen polygamy as Jeyne Westerling specifically was in support of her family's royal worthiness. Yet just as Robb was eager to find some grounds on which to defend Jeyne as a worthy bride for him in what was clearly a fraught political situation, so Lyanna may have been eager to defend her desire to marry Rhaegar in a situation she may well have believed would cause substantial political uproar - defying not just her father and erstwhile fiancé, but the Lord of Winterfell and the Lord of Storm's End.
In other words, it's not just Arya and Sansa who resemble Lyanna, something something Stark generational paralels.

I truly believe the theory that Zero is a descendant of the ancestor who threw her heart into the furnace because, to me, it just makes sense. We know that Purebloods had human parents (and the ancestor had expressed to Kaname how much she loved them where as Kaname seems to have forgotten his family either that or they lived in the village that he used to occupy in and since he was forcefully drive out by the locals he stopped seeing them, also Kaname seems like the type of person who probably kept tabs on and watched his human family from afar but because he beleived himself to be an abomination he kept a distance) I beleive that the ancestress had kept contact with her human family, which means that when she sacrificed herself the first to become hunter's was her human family in order to defend themselves (its so interesting how Hino basically made vampires into birth defects due to climate change). That family was the Kiriyu family, which would 10,000+ years later go on to have twins (the fact that just like the ancestor purebloods parents had dirty defects so did the hunters, twins are pretty rare but according to the vk lore there was a high chance that there would be a still birth or one would be consumed irl that's called Chimera twins) also hee features look so much like Zero, they might as well have the same coloring (or she could even have the same coloring as his mom)
Also I wish the vk wasn't so caught up in the Zeki vs Yume bs because I would definitely like to talk about the potential of the world building and the lore AND the characters as INDIVIDUALS
I believe that theory, too!
I mean, look at her!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If this doesn’t look like Zero idk what does!
I FR THOUGHT ZERO WAS IN THE FIRST PIC
I like the possibility where the ancestors of the Kuran family mingle with the Kiryuus.

Roman gods are not Greek gods: Venus
VENUS
After doing Mars, I had to talk about Venus.
Now… Unlike Mars, who was always a very important Roman god and stayed important even after the Hellenization, Venus is one of those numerous deities that started out as secondary figures in the “original” Roman religion, before the Hellenization suddenly had them promoted to “main god” status.
Who was originally Venus, before being associated with the Greek Aphrodite? She was, like Mars, a goddess of vegetation – but a minor one. She was a small Italic deity, tied to the maturation of plants, the fecundation of flowers and the protection of vegetable gardens. Alongside goddesses such as Feronia of Flora, she was a spirit of sprung and fecundity, present in festivals such as the Floralia and the Vinalia rustica. But starting with the 2nd century BC, her association with Aphrodite suddenly raised her to the rank of “one of the twelve main gods” and she inherited almost everything from the Greek Aphrodite: she gained her personality, her legends, her attributes… She became the goddess of beauty, love and sexuality, and thanks to Caesar pushing forward her cult (since he claimed that his family, the gens Julia, descended from Aeneas, the son of Venus), she quickly became a very famous and powerful deity in the Roman pantheon. But even then, the Hellenization wasn’t complete as Venus kept a lot of unique traits separating her from Aphrodite.
Notably, her original role as a goddess of vegetation stayed prevalent in her post-Hellenization fame, which led to Venus’ take on beauty and sexuality being heavily focused on fertility and prosperity. She also kept her “natural” function as the goddess in charge of the “everyday wine”: the Romans separated the “sacred” wine, a wine for sacrifices and religious ceremonies, from the “common” wine used as a simple alcohol, and the latter was Venus’ wine. Her month was the month of April, the time in which the renewed nature filled itself with love. Of course, no need to tell you how the idea of a goddess bringing fruits could be tied to human sexuality: she was Venus Genetrix, the goddess of motherhood – and it was under this “motherly” concept that Julius Caesar presented her as his ancestress. It was under this same name that she was considered the “mother” of Rome and of all Romans, since she birthed Aeneas, the supposed founder of the Roman civilization. Even more than just a physical or cultural mother, Venus was also “Venus Physica”, the universal force of nature responsible for creating and shaping the physical world, connecting Venus’ motherly role to her powers as a vegetation goddess. She was basically a form of “Nature Mother”, which does cause a main split with the Greek Aphrodite, who was more of a “lover” figure than a “mother” one.
In fact, in a strange twist, despite still being recognized as a goddess of seduction and sexuality, Venus was a much more… “chaste” deity than Aphrodite, thanks to the Romans being much stricter when it came to their sexual life. For example some temples of Venus were thought to receive their funds from the payment imposed on women for sexual misdemeanors, and one of the biggest aspects of Venus was “Venus Verticordia”, “Venus the changer of hearts” – a role in which the goddess is supposed to turn lust into chastity. It was a cult closely tied to the cult of the virginal Vestals, and Venus Verticordia was even said to have been created as an answer to some Vestals transgressing their vow of virginity. Only the Romans could imagine a goddess of sexuality that would actually promote virginity… (You can also see how Venus went from “the adulterer” to “the perfect wife” in my post about Mars). Similarly, while the Greek Aphrodite seems to have been outside of the rule of Hera as a goddess of marriage, in the Roman world, Venus was one of the marriage goddesses alongside Juno – future brides offering gifts to the goddess, and in exchange Venus preparing the “bliss” of the bride and ensuring the fertility of the union. There was to Venus a very “lawful love and sexuality” aspect that is very different from Aphrodite’s… let’s say more “chaotic” approach to sex and couples.
Another aspect of Venus that is very Roman is her military role – because as I said, almost all Roman gods are military gods in one way or another, and Venus was thought to be a giver of victory under the name “Venus Victrix”, “Venus the Victorious”, a depiction of the goddess with weapons in her hands. In general people prayed to Venus not so much for love or physical pleasure, rather they expected from her all sorts of good things and more… we could say “abstract” pleasures. For example, as Venux Felix, “Lucky Venus”, she was an embodiment of fortune and luck, while as Venux Libertina, “Venus the Freedwoman”, she became a goddess of freedom and of the free women (remember, slavery was a common thing in Ancient Rome). She was also confused with the goddess Cloacina (a water goddess of the Etrusceans that became the goddess of the Roman sewers, the Cloaca Maxima), but as Venus Cloacina was “Venus the Purifier”, a goddess of cleansing and purification in both a literal way (getting rid of stench and filth) and a figurative way (Venus Cloacina was tied to the concept of reconciliation and peace-making) – plus, of course, in the same “lawful love” angle talked above, she was also responsible for making “pure” the sexual intercourses within the marriage and the married couple.
Speaking of water, this is probably the other main element that struck the Romans deeply: the Hesiodic birth of Aphrodite out of the foam of the sea. The Romans fell in love with this idea of a sea-born goddess, and tried as hard as they could to shape their Venus into a water deity and sea-goddess. It was again, still tied to her role as a goddess of vegetation: water brings life to plants and nature, the same way sexuality brings life to humanity. She was “Venus Euploia”, Venus of the fair voyage ; and Venus Pontia, Venus of the sea – a goddess worshiped by sailors and mariners, and whose task was to smooth the waves to ensure a good sea-travel, to the point some even considered her the “Queen of the Sea” and made her basically a Roman equivalent of the Greek Amphitrite. Fascinatingly, despite this strong association with water, Venus was also considered a celestial goddess – called names such as Venus Caelestis (Celestial Venus) or Venus Urania (Heavenly Venus), and according to Virgil it was in the form of the morning star (the planet Venus) that she guided her son Aeneas through his travels.
A final point about Venus I would like to make is that, under the many attributions and aspects of Venus, several strange ones kept popping out, bizarre regional alternate takes on the goddess that the Romans themselves were sometimes baffled by. Such as Venus Calva, aka the Bald Venus, which led to several legends being told to try to explain her lack of hair ; or Venus Barbata, the Bearded Venus, which was an hermaphrodite Venus, with the body and outfit of a woman, but the beard and genitalia of a man. (It is possible that this one is just a continuation of the fascinating deity known as Aphroditos, a male Aphrodite from Cyprus, I’ll let you check on this one – though Roman poets liked to explain it by just thinking it depicted Venus as the “ultimate nurturer”, uniting male and female attributes together for the purpose of… well, nurturing the world).

Rain Code x Winx Club swap au. I can make anything
Winx Club side
I think their genders should stay the same? Fairy and witch are gender neutral.. Alfea and Cloudy Tower are no longer all-girl high schools. By my word
Yuma is Bloom/the fairy of the dragon flame, and Shinigami is Daphne/that ghost nymph that's his dead sister, it just made the most sense, and they have the same place in the MDARC universe below too anyway. Shini would be much more involved I think. Not just give him cryptic dreams but flat out follow him around everywhere and just tell him stuff.
Backstory stays the same I think? Yuma is a prince of Domino (also he has god powers. from god, made of god) and as an infant his home planet gets fucking obliterated by the Ancestresses so Shinigami yoinks him to Earth where they can't find him. Then he gets adopted and also he's 16.
"yeah so anyway many years ago in ancient history your home planet was destroyed and everyone died so I teleported you to Wyoming" "the fuck you mean ancient history I'm only like 16 how was I an infant when it happened??" "Anyway,"
After some kind of ruckus he meets a fairy (specific guy pending) then awakens his god fire dragon powers then finds out he's a fairy and then tries to lie his way into the fairy school and then joins it for real uhhh hell yeah I fucking rock at summarizing
Anyway. The winx. The six of them. We know Yuma is Bloom/the dragon flame fairy. Onto the next 5, which are the NDA since it makes most sense (peacekeepers can be the witches. whatever):
Fubuki is Stella aka fairy of the sun & moon. Kind of because of the whole "princess" thing (although, like, three of the winx are princesses anyway so it's not really that special for them), but also I think she just really fits. I think it'd be cute for Yuma and Fubuki to be the closest pair of friends there... And also because Stella's got that teleportation scepter, and planet travel is kind of similiar to time travel anyway.
Yakou is Flora aka fairy of nature. I think he should be a bit older than the others but just kept being held back a few classes (he's doing fine at school it's just. the horrors keep getting to him every time the exams roll up......). I picked him as Flora for only one reason. One reason
Desuhiko is Musa aka fairy of music because haha music. Musa I'm so sorry but he had to be someone.
Halara is Tecna aka fairy of technology because they both don't really show emotions that much and are pretty smart. So yeah. Also no Tecna slander allowed
(and while Aisha aka the princess of Andros + fairy of morphix & water(?) doesn't appear until s2, Vivia takes her place. It even makes some sense if you squint. Maybe the pixies are more ghost-like in this?)
Overall I'm actually kinda surprised how many of them fit so well lmao??? Effervescent au.
(do their transformations stay the same or should I alter them more than a bit...)
Onto the schools... Alfea's - aka fairy school - principal/headmaster (is there a difference??) is fake old man Number One. Cloudy Tower's - aka witch school where everybody is an asshole - principal/headmaster is Dr. Huesca and he fucking hates everybody in that building.
Most detectives get assigned to Alfea, and most peacekeeper/Amaterasu corp characters get assigned to Cloudy Tower.
We got the club, now onto the witches attending Cloudy Tower.....
Starting with the Trix aka the 3-person coven (they're very close and call each others "sisters" but aren't biologically. well they are distant cousins but. yknow), which are the descendants of the Ancestral Witches (where do I even fucking start. Ancient, extremely fucked up and evil and powerful, ghosts, created an artificial evil sonboy out of a stray spark of the dragon flame they found in a ditch somewhere, destroyed the planet Domino, did I say they're really really evil and most sane and normal people do not try to seek them out to serve them unlike THESE transgender little idiots), want to serve them and get really powerful and rule the world and stuff and also hate fairies but that's a given for all witches and fairies kinda lmao. They also homoerotically bully Bloom
Aside from the atrocities and bigotry and general rancidity they are actually pretty wholesome you gotta trust me on this one please you gotta believe me
Yomi is Icy aka the witch of ice. This is because 1) Both fucking changed my life and me as a person without them there would be no me, now thank them. 2) leaders. 3) in the show, Icy's generally the meanest/most sadistic out of her sisters, and Yomi does like sitting on his girlfriend and whipping people and the cube incident and the yakover incident and the whole torturing people with handmade tools. 4) perfect balance between actually competent & pathetic 5) gay 6) trans men. Icy is a man. He just doesn't know it yet. I've been saying this
Martina is Darcy aka the witch of darkness & illusions & apparently mind control. Martina's much more on the verbal/psychological side of tormenting people rather than Yomi who just prefers the more physical torture type, so she can be tweaked a bit to start manipulating people as hobby. Like Darcy. Also they got glasses. And kind of similiar hair. And date a guy. Fuck Riven he deserved to get mind controlled
Guillaume is Stormy aka witch of storms because they're both really fucking hyper although Guillaume seems to be in a much better place than Stormy. Guillaume is always so cheerful while watching people die meanwhile Stormy sounds like she's permanently on the verge of a breakdown
Wait. Wait wait wait wait a minute. So Icy sometimes turns people into ice statues in the show..... Yomi can literally turn people into ice cubes........ Effervescent au 10/10
Anyway the plot in s1 is that the Trix steal Bloom'/Yuma's dragon flame (fire powers) and do world domination for 2 minutes before Yuma wills it back into him and punts them into the sun. The bridal carries Yomi down once he's unconscious and defeated yeah that scene was pretty gay
Onto Mirta and Lucy aka the girls who get bullied by the Trix that one season and are later nearly completely forgotten as the show goes on.....
Seth is Mirta. He's the same deeply unpleasant person like in Rain Code. He does not get bullied at school because he thinks fairies don't suck, he does, he gets bullied because he's a loser.
There was that one arc where Darcy aka Martina turned him into a pumpkin in s1 and Flora aka Yakou tends to him until they find a cure. Yes that is the whole reason as to why Yakou has to be Flora. Because of woke (furroughs)
Maybe he gets turned into a flower instead......
(and I also forgot to mention but Mirta/Seth ALSO leaves Cloudy Tower to become a fairy. maybe they're exes...... forced to awkwardly interact...... maybe they start dating again............)
Lucy I'm a bit lost on currently. She was Mirta's aka Seth's only friend in Cloudy Tower and also got shoved in lockers by the Trix. Unlike Mirta, she's still rude and hates fairies (though she's a bit cowardly and VERY insecure); but sticks around with her anyway, maybe because outcasts gravitate to each other. Often follows the wrong crowd out of wanting to prove to others she's amazing, and gave off the impression that deep down really wanted the Trix to let her suck up to them, but alas, they think she's cringe - ah wait, not an impression. That's just what her character was. Back in season 1 she was OBSESSED with the Trix. Alas they think she's cringe
That's literally so pathetic it's funny. It's fucking hilarious. That poor thing.
Anyway. Who the fuck is she. Fake Zilch because uhhhh gay for Yomi???? but he's not that pathetic he's actually pretty cool he wouldn't get bullied he'll fucking kill everybody in that school and burn their bodies. Or do I tweak his role so that he doesn't suck anymore....... much to think about..........
As for the other characters, from season 1-3 since they are pretty connected unlike all the others and also the fandom considers them to be the only canon seasons of the show sometimes with the inclusion of s4 but its on thin ice
I really wanted to include Makoto and thought it'd be fun if he were Valtor.
For those who don't know who Valtor is (which is probably most of you) -- he is a villain in season 3, and he was created by the Ancestresses using only a spark of the dragon flame, and taught him how to kill people, which both made him a very powerful being. He was involved in the destruction of Domino, and while briefly defeated and dematerialized(?), he came back many years later and fucking slayed. He has minions but still actually does a lot of things on his own (even literally just tasking the Trix with the less important tasks while he carries the whole mission), is a skilled manipulator, and shows reluctant interest in Bloom (the actual keeper of the rest of the dragon flame), saves her life on their first meeting and admires her from far, expresses that he needs/wants someone capable to share his power with and while she's a thorn at his side he still tries to persuade her into joining him just for the lulz. Also he marks people. With his mark. On their neck
Both have a connection to Bloom/Yuma & a certain place, are artificially made, vampire aesthetic haha get it, and Valtor worked with Trix as his goons, so here's how Mako-Yomi interactions can still happen. Valtor is a cool villain but Makoto's not really evil, so maybe he's actually trying to bring the planet of Domino back using Yuma's dragon flame (which maybe means killing him??) and then has to be gently reasoned with so that he'd stop destroying shit.
Might be relevant...... the mind Valtor(tm) from my personal canon, not the show's canon, is actually Domino. When the Ancestresses "destroyed" Domino -- which wasn't really true, since the planet did get brough back/restored later, along with all the people on it! hmm. -- they actually trapped it inside Valtor, and he himself was a corrupted amalgamation of all the people that lived there; killing him would be what truly destroys Domino, so the Winx had to find a different solution. I just thought that banged, and--
-- what if Makoto-Valtor didn't know. What if he was just Some Guy (or thought he was) with a connection to Domino and he really wanted to go against the Ancestresses to bring it back but then he found out that he literally is just Domino and as long as he's alive it will remain dead & if he gets killed it will get lost for good. Kanai Ward reveal the truth labirynth dilemma but on steroids this time. Anyway still a wip section we're still working on details man,
also their hair kinda similiar + Valtor deserves a giant forehead
I wanted to also include the Rain Code side of this (where the winx characters get thrown into Kanai Ward instead), but the post looks pretty long as it is anyway and it's pretty late & I'm a bit tired, so I'll consider this post done and come back for it later :>
Any thoughts.... any thoughts people? I'm actually really oddly passionate about this. Hell yeah we're so back. This is what happens when you mix both of my most life ruining interests together.

I Found Out Another Reason Why I Love Adam More Than Lilith (From Hazbin Hotel) Part 2
[Note: Please Do NOT reblog this without my permission, like I said before in the part 1 of this...I don't want to have to do that thing I had to do before this September, you can still heart this if you like it, but don't reblog this...like at all, please.]
we know in the show of Hazbin Hotel, Adam is depicted as the "bad guy" but sometimes not everything is as it seems.
plus it could be possible that Adam might not have 100% free will, and some fans could be right, even the fan fics about it...
even if it might seem like Adam is fully responsible for the Exterminations, but how do we know Lilith didn't have some part in it...
like it could of been Charlie's Mom who came up with the idea, and listen to Lucifer plea on not letting Hellborns be hurt during them.
and for all we know, Sera might of been the one who order Adam to go after Charlie's Hotel and everyone who calls that place home.
but it was during a scene that wasn't shown, to have it be a big plot twist secret.
and Sera could of been upset with Adam, because he brought up the fact he and the rest of the Exorcist Angels will be going to the Hotel first on Extermination Day, but lucky for Adam he didn't say it was under Sera's Orders and plus Sera could of only gave the orders to Adam when Lute left the room that Sera took them into, like she could of asked Adam to stay as she speaks with him alone, while Lute was told to leave the room as the discussion between Sera and Lute was private.
if Adam never ate the forbidden fruit, it could be possible doing so too early would give some bad outcomes...
Adam would be forced against his will to obey Sera's words, even if the reason why he moved up the Exterminations was to get revenge for one of his girls, one of the Exorcists Angels that fell on Extermination Day.
it could be possible that even Vaggie's punishment and fall, was not all what it seems either...
Sera could of had a part in that as well, but Vaggie could of assumed it was because she spared a Sinner Child, and Lute may have assumed that as well...
but Adam was possibly given the orders before that day, by Sera to give to Lute on how to take care of Vaggie, and make sure she doesn't come back to Heaven...
Sera likely didn't recognize her when she came back, Adam and Lute were the only ones who recognized her.
there are probably a few dark secrets and plot twists we are not aware of in Hazbin Hotel, but we might learn about them in the future seasons.
it could be possible that Adam, Eve, Lilith and The First True Eve who I'm still going to call Elisabeth but give her the nickname "Elle" could have free will, in like the Fanon Timeline of Hazbin Hotel AU...
but it depends on what type of free will, like they could have it but at the same time their will is subjugated against their will by the Angels of the Hazbin Hotel Universe...
and yeah I know that the Eve that came before Eve, is suppose to be Nameless cause well in this universe, Adam never named her because he got too scared and disgusted by her because he watched how she was made from one of his ribs, but he was asleep when The Second Eve aka "Eve" was made, so he was fine with the Second Eve who was only the Second Attempt and technically his Third Bride.
so it would be Lilith, then First Eve and then Second Eve...
but First Eve was rejected by Adam, and who knows what happen to her...I kind of want to adopt her as my Ancestress Mother if she didn't have any descendants, but maybe her bloodline ended up mixing with Eve and Lilith's at some point...maybe.
it is possible that such a story wouldn't be the same in the Canon of Hazbin Hotel, and will only be so in the Fanon.
Adam might have more to him than what appears on the surface, and yeah one of the reasons why I like him more than Lilith, is because Charlie's Mom reminds me of my Dad...
like I know the situations between Adam, Lilith and Lucifer are way different than why my parents had split and were no longer together.
I mean yeah, my Dad did cheat on my Mom...which I will have to ask sometime if it was when she was still pregnant with me or after she had me and it being when he took off somewhere else and wasn't there for the birth...
Charlie sees her Mom as her Hero, a woman she looks up to...
but sometimes, even parents can have a dark side and whatever is going on with Lilith in Hazbin Hotel, it's possible one of the theories about her might turn out to be right...like the ones that has to do with her purposely leaving her family...
and yeah that book that Charlie has, could be full of Half-Truths and Half-Lies...
it could still be possible there are a few secrets in the show that we can only make guesses about...
like how Angel and Valentino are hurting each other by Angel's Venom and Valentino's Smoke...and Velvette could mix the two together to make the Love Potion that can even affect Angel and Valentino, and Vox not wanting Angel around might have to do with knowing what his venom does to Valentino.
Angel is likely unaware what his venom does to others, and Baxter would have to make Antidote to make Husk and Valentino Immune to it, even if it only lasts a few months or a year.
it might be a good thing Angel and Husk haven't kissed yet and their ship is Semi-Canon, like having feelings but in the "I bud it" zone for now.
if they do end up becoming more than friends in the future, they might need to be careful because of Angel's Venom.
we could learn more about Adam and Lilith's past in the future, because it can be possible that not all is what it seems.
Adam becoming a worse version of himself because of Charlie's Parents, could be true...and it is too bad he can't come back as a Fallen Winner in the future.
Adam might really be a broken shell of his former self that use to be him back when he still lived in Eden.
and I might not be the only one who thinks and feels this way, but there could be more to Adam than just the "bad guy" persona that Charlie, Lucifer and the rest of the Hazbin Gang view him as.
"if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hotdogs."
and Adam & Lucifer (from Hazbin Hotel) are those Imperfect but still perfect in their own way pork chops...
and yes, I like that saying from Steven Universe...it just fits those two, and cause they are the pork chops that aren't perfect, but if they were 100% perfect, we wouldn't have hotdogs.
Blitz from Helluva Boss, he is also that wonderful imperfect pork chop, that is perfect because he isn't 100% perfect.
plus trying to force a certain level of perfection, might not make everyone happy and could make them miserable, like things can be perfect but some stuff that has to do with some perfection could end up hurting others, like what Sera and Lilith from Hazbin Hotel are possibly doing.
and for all we know, someone could be pulling Sera's strings and making her give secret orders to Adam.
I don't know much about Charlie's Mom, but we might find out more about her in the future season...and we might find out she is either misunderstood or that she is not as great as she appears to be and that might break Charlie's heart.
we end up having mix feelings about our parents, even if it is just one of them...I guess I have mix feelings about my Dad, like why didn't he visit sooner and maybe when I was still really little and he could of visited maybe once a year or once every few years.
I'm not even sure if he was there when my Mom was having those weird "Evening Sicknesses" and I have no idea how many others who had their Moms went through that instead of Morning Sickness...
but Charlie is lucky that her Dad was around in most of her early life, she is lucky that her Dad wants to be more part of her life, but he is misunderstood because of probably some misunderstandings between the two of them...
not everyone is lucky to have both their parents in their life, even if one of them still had some part of it, but at the same time wasn't fully a part of it...
so it might be possible that both Adam and Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel, are misunderstood and both were hurt by Lilith...
yeah there are Good versions of her and there are Bad versions of her in Fanon work by Fans, and for all we know the version of her that was wearing that sunhat in the portrait with Lucifer and Little Charlie, could be a Clone that was made to take care of Charlie, because Lilith didn't want to take care of a small child, and only got involved much later when Charlie got older.
both Adam and Lilith might have layers to them, like being not what they seem on the outside and they might be something more deep down on the inside...
and there could be a reason why Lucifer and Lilith split and aren't together anymore, it might not be because of Charlie but she could feel it might be, but there could be reasons why they fell out of love that we might find out later on in the future.
and there could be different reasons for some fans to love Adam more than Lilith, that might be different from some of my new reasons to love him, and it having to do with it reminding me of a bit of my own childhood and well not everyone has to agree on it, plus everyone can have their reasons to like him.
and yeah, even if the accident I had when I was a baby and I ended up having a scar from it that is where I hurt my head, well I guess technically where the face but close to where the eye is but not too close to the eye...and well that is kind of going to remind me of Abel, but still different...plus I don't know much about what happen, because all I know is that me and my big brother were playing alone in a room, and then I got hurt and my Mom came and she had to take me to the hospital and now I have a scar that isn't very noticeable unless you look really close.
Pink-Pearl from Steven Universe and Fizz from Helluva Boss remind me of that scar, well them and now Abel...but his scar was way worse than mine...and well the scar also reminds me of a Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss Fan Fic I had been reading, and well I wont say which one but I might talk about it some other time.
I don't know what else to talk about that has to do with my reasons for liking Adam more than Lilith from Hazbin Hotel, well maybe he has that adorkable side to himself despite how he acts around others.
like it is clear that Lute cares deeply for him, and the same can be said for how he feels about her, but for all we know it could be platonic and more adoptive family way, and if there were two Lutes, the one that would be Lute Sr. would be way taller than Lute and have a voluptuous figure and be like a Valkyrie Exorcist Angels, like the Valkyrie Class types have have more armor on.
so the Lute we see in the show that is the "Lute Jr.", she would be more like the daughter and best friend to Adam.
and maybe at times we don't need a full reason as to why we love Adam from Hazbin Hotel and even Blitz from Helluva Boss, only knowing that it is possible that both of those characters are misunderstood by those around them, and only those closes to them like Lute and Loona can see them for them when they show that vulnerable side to themselves.
sometimes there are more to a character than how they act, and sometimes some don't need a reason as to why they act like a Apple Sugar Spice Honey Of Liquid Egg...
and sometimes people can misunderstand others and might not fully get how hurt they are and the deep emotional scars they carry.
and both Adam and Blitz's emotional scars might run very deep, that we haven't got a full view of yet.
I might make a part 3 of this sometime, maybe...even if Adam from Hazbin Hotel might come off as a full of himself and misogyny type of guy...but if some of us have learned anything, is that both men and women can equally stink...and I can probably think of a few women who are just as bad as some men, who are the "C" word and "heads"...like a counterpart of the word D**k head, but different...
and saying "Mother Of A Dastard" would be a more cleaner and censored version of the other version of it...
I think besides Charlie's Dad in the show being misunderstood, but him and Adam are misunderstood, and they were both likely hurt by Charlie's Mom.
we might learn more about Lucifer, Adam, Lilith and Eve's past in the future, we might find out more in the future. anyway I'm going to hurry up and post this...I have already been having trouble when trying to write this and I rather just post what I have so far and maybe I will make a part 3 of this...maybe, but no promises...I'm kind of upset right now with how I had been having trouble writing this, and well...it seems to be working now, and I'm not taking any chances...so I'm going to post this now and I hope some understand my feelings about Adam from Hazbin Hotel and why I love him more than Charlie's Mom.

Giftedverse: Storm Dynasty
The Storm Dynasty, formally known as the Dynasty of Five Storms, is a hero dynasty that consists of five subsidiary families: the Amarai, Kumosuku, Yukigumo, Yukimura, and Yokoshiro families. All five are descendants of Susanoo, one of the first Heroes. They are also one of the First Families of Mars.
Susanoo was one of the world's first Heroes in the early days and had five children-- two boys and three girls-- with his wife Amaya. Despite the bad optics from having a civilian wife and the threats of violence from Humans, Susanoo remained married to Amaya until his death.
One day, the Justice Bureau recruited him to make Mars liveable by using his Gift. However, he was forbidden from returning to Earth once the job was done. Amaya and the children were brought to Mars along with the other First Heroes and their families.
Despite being forcibly removed from their home, Susanoo and Amaya were determined to make the best of their situation and settled down in the Martian city of Eden.
When their children began developing powers, Susanoo trained them in the art of "being one with the weather" since they all inherited variations of his weather based Gift. Both Susanoo and Amaya knew the key to keeping their legacy alive was by building a strong and powerful family.
As adults, Susanoo's children honored their father by following in his footsteps and becoming Heroes despite backlash from Humans. They would also go on to create the five different hero families that make up the dynasty via their marriages.
Susanoo and Amaya's five children were as follows:
Ooarashi, Susanoo's eldest son, would keep his family name of Amarai, thus becoming the second ancestor of the Amarai family. His Gift was called Raging Storm.
Seppen, Susanoo's eldest daughter and Ooarashi's twin, would marry a man with the last name of Yukigumo and become the ancestress of the Yukigumo clan. Her Gift was Snowflake.
Kohyo, the 2nd daughter, would marry a man with the surname of Yukimura and become the ancestor of the Yukimura family. Her Gift was Hailstorm.
Soyokaze, his second son and second youngest child, would take his wife's surname of Kumosuku, thus creating the Kumosuku family. His Gift was Breeze.
Nettaishi, the last child, would go on to become the ancestor of the Yokoshiro clan after her marriage. Her Gift was Tropical Storm.
Ooarashi wanted to establish himself as leader of the entire family, but Seppen wouldn't allow it. Instead, she propose a more centralized way where each has a select group of leaders that would meet with the others and decide on important matters. The other children agreed and adopted this system.
The first generation of the Storm Dynasty weren't able to have as many children like their descendants did due to the restrictions placed on Gifteds about the number of children they could have at the time. Nevertheless, they persevered in becoming a powerful hero family; each generation stronger than the previous one.
As time went on, the number of Susanoo's descendants rose, making them singlehandedly responsible for the increase of weather based Gifts. At some point, some members of the family began to seek out and marry others with similar Gifts to increase the power of their child's.
They have many unique features like most Gifteds. For example, the Kumosuku have literal cloud hair. Aozora Amarai's hair mimicked the sky and changed color according to the time of day as did his sons Hirosora and Raiden and his granddaughter Sorami.
Notable Members
Susanoo & Amaya - The founder of the dynasty and their common ancestor. Like how respected Mother Nature is in the Yamaniwa family, Susanoo and Amaya are also highly respected and regarded by their descendants.

While researching Elfrida, I was very struck by the similarities between her story and that of her descendant, and later successor as queen, Anne Boleyn. Anne, like much of the Tudor nobility and gentry, was descended from Elfrida several times over, through her son, Ethelred II (the Unready). Was there something of her royal ancestress in Anne?
Like Anne, Elfrida was the daughter of a middle-ranking man, with her father, a thegn named Ordgar, only becoming an ealdorman after her marriage. Her mother, a woman of royal descent, outranked her father – as Anne’s mother, Lady Elizabeth Howard, did. Both girls were particular favourites of their fathers. It was Anne that Thomas Boleyn chose to send to Margaret of Austria in the Netherlands in 1513, in order to take up a post as lady in waiting. Similarly, Ordgar spent a considerable amount of time with his only daughter, whom he was rumoured to have promised to leave a substantial proportion of his wealth. He taught her to play chess and was a major influence on her childhood.
Queen Elfrida and Queen Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth Norton

Chapter 2: Kami Shrines, Myths, and Rituals in Premodern Times
Popular Practices
…much popular practice revolved around kami with no such connections… Hakami was a tooth kami whose cult required toothache sufferers to make a paste of soy beans and bury it in shrine ground. Supplicants prayed to Hakami to release them from pain, at least until the pasted beans sprouted. Or again, consider the cults of Inari, a rice kami quite unconnected to the imperial myth…. In the 1830s… a shrine appeared in Ichigaya ward of Edo dedicated to the so-called “bush Inari”… Accordingly, if the supplicant abstained from tea for 27 days and made suitable offerings, “bush Inari” would cure the eye complaint (Miyata 1972: 141)… In origin, Kōshin refers to a moment in the Chinese calendrical cycle when metal clashes with metal to herald dramatic, inauspicious change. In Japan… apotheosized as the kami Kōshin. On Kōshin days it was the practice to stay up all night praying to that kami lest heaven vent its wrath on the community. Kōshin became associated with Saruta-hiko… as well as with the Buddhist Vajrapāṇi.
—Pages 58-59
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the early nineteenth century an entirely new phenomenon emerged, enriching further still the kami-scape of early modern Japan. Kurozumi Munetada (1780-1850), Nakayama Miki (1798-1887), and Kawate Bunjirō (1814-83) exemplify this phenomenon since all three, born into impoverished families in rural Japan, became kami, and, as kami, established mass followings across Japan. The kami into which they transformed were distinct from one another, but they all promised salvation, a concept alien to the cults we have seen thus far (Kozawa 1988: 302-4)…
Kurozumi, Nakayama, and Kawate all founded national movements; they built shrines that became national religious centers where solemn rituals were performed for all the kami that had possessed, inspired, and transformed them…. There is no evidence, however, that they understood their activities as constituting “Shinto”; even Kurozumi, who was a shrine priest, never used that word in his writing.
—Pages 59-60
The Nativists and their Kami
These nativists [Motoori Norinaga (1730-1801), Aizawa Seishisai (1781-1863), Hirata Atsutane (1776-1843)] attracted followers of different social classes from across Japan, but they were thinkers not priests, and none created a “Shinto” school. Indeed where possible the eschewed the word “Shinto,” probably owning to its Yoshida associations. Their thought was, however to have deep political and social reverberations, shaping Shinto in its modern guise.
—Page 61
Motoori wrote… in the opening lines of his Naomi-no-mitama (The spirit of the rectifying kami) of 1790:
The great imperial land is the great land wherein resides the great goddess of the sun, the divine ancestress. Japan is superior to all other countries, since all other countries receive her plentiful benevolence…. She decreed Japan was the land where her descendants would reign forever…
…In the Kojiki, Amaterasu is goddess of the sun, to be sure, but in the narrative she reflects mirror-like, rather than generating the sun’s light, and she is definitely subordinate to Takami-musubi (Mizubayashi 2005: 8-10)…. Where Motoori was scathing of Chinese “Ways,” Aizawa saw the solution to lie in the revitalization of Confucian ethics. This is where for him the sun-goddess and the emperor assume their importance. For Aizawa Amaterasu is the progenitor of loyalty and filial piety; her descendants, the emperors are paragons of these virtues…
—Pages 61-63
Motoori had argued that all the dead, good or bad, are destined for the polluted realm of Yomi, but Hirata begged to differ. He understood the souls of the dead to stay in Japan, gathering at shrines where propitiation ensures they rest in peace…. “When His Majesty’s subjects die, their souls become kami and return to the invisible realm. There they are subject to the rule of the great kami Ōkuninushi” (Sasaki 1998: 143-4). Elsewhere, Hirata writes the Ōkuninushi not only rules the invisible realm, but stands there as judge, determining whether souls proceed to heaven or hell. He also gave new importance to the kami Ame-no-Minakanushi… Hirata effects an important switch when he writes: “Since this great kami exists without a beginning, it is only appropriate he be called the ultimate , first deity. [N]o words possibly exist to describe the heights and depths of his virtuous power… [This kami is] furnished with the quality of producing all things within heaven and earth,” and is “sovereign over all existence” (Sasaki 1998: 138-40),
—Pages 63-64
Should note they go on to say that these concepts were the basic foundations which the Meiji government build Modern Shinto on, that helped build the ideological system that would legitimize the emperors connection to Amaterasu Ōmikami, as well as the imperial restoration. Along with this remove the control of the Watarai and Arakida lineages of priests over Ise, and basically end the power of the Yoshida and Shirakawa families, and expelled Buddhist influence from shrines. Mainly they focused on Motoori and Aizawa’s focus on Amaterasu Ōmikami.

I'm so sick of whites hating Hispanics....let me debunk a few things:
0.1 percent rule: Yeah, I'm so sorry I had a Mulatto ancestress; bet she more than made up for it by personality and not having a flat white ass and a shit personality predisposed to hating anyone with a hint of melanin and an accent that's not Midwestern, Bronx, Southern, Hillbilly, or like, Valley Girl....at least Mali has more history than Bumfuck, the Confederate South!
Oh I'm sorry that were literally descended from the royal Raposo line; shouldn't by white genocidal ethnocentric standards, that makes us better than you....oh wait, my family also has a high Italian percentage....another area that has more culture than whatever Bumfuck podunk shit hole y'all spawned from generations of incest.
Stop. Clogging. Your. Fucking. Ears. Over. An. Accent. That's. Not. Southern. America ISNT THE CENTER OF THE WORLD, NOT EVEN GEOGRAPHICALLY.
4. I know I'm a light skinned Dominican woman, and if any anonymous users attempts to send hate at me for..specifically correcting you on the site that Zoe Saldana is Dominican: here's my rebuttal -
I'm so sorry that I'm a light skinned Dominicana with 16 percent Malian blood, and a high Italian percentage. I'm fully aware of the fact that I'm not the acclaimed actress Zoe Saldana; I'm sure we're both fans of her.
I'll go ahead and enable the asks for exactly 2 weeks so you can hate me and attempt to roast my big fat ass (that you can kiss, btw).

THE QUEEN TIN HINAN!
Tumblr media
(Painting of The Queen Tin Hinan by Hocine Ziani)
The Queen Tin Hinan, also known as Queen of the Hoggar, is a legendary woman that lived in the 4th Century whose skeleton was found in a pre-Islamic tomb in the Ahaggar Mountains. The literal meaning of Tin Hinan is “she of the tents.” She is believed to be the ancestress of the Tuareg ethnicity of northern Africa; they call her “The mother of us all.��
As centuries went by, her character gradually faded into myth and folklore until the discovery and opening of her tomb in 1925. the discovery reaffirmed her existence. Like many centuries old legendary characters, her true origin has become shrouded in mystery. Sadly without any real documented evidence because the Tuaregs of that time did not keep written records, oral narratives by the locals is a key option in retracing her history.
There are sources that say Tin Hanin was a princess driven from the Northern Sahara, and after a near-death journey through the Sahara Desert with her entourage, they reached the desert anthill where luckily they found grain.
Some say she was a Berber moslem who came from the Tafilalt oasis. with her maidservant Takamat. that she might have had a daughter called Kella. they settled in the mountainous region of Algeria. There is no record anywhere of her tribe, whom her husband or lover was, why she migrated to Hoggar, whom her parents were or the cause of her death.
Takamat had two daughters. Historians believe Tin Hinan gave the Oasis of Silet and Ennided to the two daughters of Takamat which til present day belongs to the descendants of the two women.
LEGEND
Tin Hinan accomplishments were no mean feat. As a woman coming from a foreign land she had to establish herself in the new territory and judging from history’s treatment of women during those times one can only imagine her level of wisdom, Intelligence, courage and endurance as she overcame opposition, won the hearts of the people, united them and rose to become their queen.
She was regarded as a fearless warrior; many Tuaregs today refer to her as the African Amazon Queen. She possessed a knowledge of herbs for healing and medicinal practices, taught her people poetry and the Tifinagh alphabet. Her greatest achievement was founding, uniting the Tuaregs and establishing a kingdom in the Hoggar. Her daughter Kella is widely judged to be the founder of the Kel Rela Tribe.
Under the leadership of Queen Tin Hinan, the Tuaregs established essential caravan trading routes through which they built great wealth and economic prosperity throughout the 4th and 5th century.
TIN HINAN TOMB
It was not until 1925 that Tin Hanin resurfaced again. A Polish American archaeologist Byron Khun De Porok unpopular within the science community at the time and dubbed “The Tomb Raider” discovered her tomb at the Hoggar regions of Abalessa in Southern Algeria.
 It was a Circular stone structure on a hill with a height of about 4 meters and a diameter of about 23 meters overlooking a dried river bed. It contained a number of rooms but only had one entrance.
Upon opening her tomb, Byron found the remains of the queen lying on her back legs crossed and covered with a red cloak of leather that had since turned to dust; she lay on a wooden litter her head facing east and was heavily adorned with gold and jewels. She wore seven silver and seven gold bracelets on her left and right arms respectively and a necklace of gold and pearls. A separate silver bracelet and a Gold ring were placed beside the body. Other funerary items and many pieces of jewelry like beads of turquoise, garnet, amazonite, and cornelian were also discovered in the tomb.
In the 1960s, the anthropologist E. Leblanc examined the skeleton within the Tin Hinan tomb. He observed that the remains were tall (1.72 to 1.76 meters tall) and lithe, with a narrow pelvis, broad shoulders and slender legs.
Today her remains can be found in the Bardo Museum of Algiers.

I just had a thought, but I can't shake the feeling that Venn would be able to relate to Scara. They both descend from Archons, but were ultimately disconnected from them. The Muratans were over the generations, of course, but given Venn's religious struggle in the manhua, I feel like the sense of being abandoned by their ancestress is something the Muratans, especially Venn, struggle with.

Do you think the colors Arrax, Vermax, and Tyraxes, are the same colors as Viserion, Rhaegal, and Drogon, and that both trios dragons mother was Dreamfyre? I saw in a ASOIAF calendar that Arrax was white and gold like Viserion, and sorry to bring up a show that must not be named but still has GRRM involvement that Vermax was green like Rhaegal, does it follows that Tyraxes would be black and this is a history repeats motif that is going on?
(Once again, I am not talking about That Other Show and I am blocking you if you're using this post to talk about That Other Show.)
The only dragon that we can speak to with any chromatic certainty is Arrax, specifically because of the calendar you mentioned. While neither the original novellas (that is, "The Princess and the Queen" and "The Rogue Prince"_ nor Fire and Blood Volume 1 specified Arrax's color, the 2021 ASOIAF calendar did show the infamous death scene of Arrax and Lucerys. As noted by the artist, Sam Hogg, "Arrax was described as pearlescent white with yellow flame, golden eyes and a golden chest". Whether or not this means Arrax was the offspring or a descendant of Dreamfyre is impossible to say: while Dreamfyre was certainly capable of producing eggs (and fertilized eggs to boot), her coloring - pale blue with silvery markings - doesn't seem particularly similar to that of the white and gold Arrax, and quite frankly the pedigrees of House Targaryen's dragons cannot even charitably be called vague.
More to the point, I don't think GRRM was trying to draw a deliberate connection between the dragons belonging to the "Velaryon" princes and those hatched by Dany. Not only did he himself not even bother to identify the dragons by color in the text - relegating a third of that detail to a calendar created years after he introduced these dragons - but he did nothing to suggest a narrative or thematic link between Vermax, Arrax, and Tyraxes and Drogon, Viserion, and Rhaegal. The former were not hatched by the miraculous application of dormant ancestral knowledge but simply by the ordinary process of dragon breeding common to the Targaryens of their time. Nothing in the lives of either these princes or their dragons appears to parallel any events in the lives of Dany or her dragons. What's more, the princes' dragons were not uniquely a trio in their own time, as Dany's dragons are in the main novels: Rhaenyra's elder son by Daemon (the future King Aegon III) had a dragon of his own, as did the boys' cousin and Jacaerys' betrothed Baela Targaryen, to say nothing of all the dragons among the children and grandchildren of the green faction. To put it simply, I really don't see any similarity between these groups of dragons at all.
And as far as Dreamfyre being the ancestress of Dany's dragons ... this seems to get rather too close for to the "Dany's eggs were the same ones stolen by Elissa Farman" theory (even though Elissa's stolen eggs were themselves not even necessarily laid by Dreamfyre), which is at best a possible explanation with very little support from the author himself. (For more on that discussion, see here from @nobodysuspectsthebutterfly.) I personally don't think it really matters which specific historical dragons, if any that we would even know, were in the pedigree for Dany's dragons; the operative point, for me, is that Dany hatched them, that she's becoming the rider of Drogon, and that these dragons are going to help Dany (and two other future riders *cough cough Jon and Tyrion*) save the world.

The Phoenix Queen — Relta’s Reign [Part III] - Worldbuilding
Tumblr media
Many Lunaruzians are gifted with small magical gifts, such as minor healing or water purification on a small scale, so people of all backgrounds would seek out army jobs, even during peace times - which was twenty-five years of Relta’s reign.
In peacetimes, Relta allows army members go home, or work to better infrastructure in the kingdom - especially in the smaller and/or poorer towns. By Relta’s resignation, no towns were considered “poorer” any longer, as they were wealthy even compared to some of the allied kingdoms to Lunaruz.
Lunaruz gave much of its resources to allies to aid them in their own endeavors, but Relta was an emissary herself and encouraged peace between kingdoms/nations. Their sharing of wealth makes them be considered a world power, though they did not have a powerful military unless assembled. Most of their taxation income went to either education continuation or infrastructure.
Relta starts the first college-esque schools just for feminine identifying folks in the seventh year of her reign, and made tuition free across the kingdom. Masculine folks also now had free tuitions in the other college-esque schools.
Foreign languages were also free to become fluent in if agreeing to a five year course/attempt at learning the language. If someone quit before 5 years, they had to pay a small fine.
Later, as in the 1900s, Relta’s reign would be considered to be like an Atlantean Utopia, as it is impossible to find living Lunaruzians or even mixed descendants. However, the ruins are numerous and in wonderful shape. It is unknown what caused the utopia’s people to disappear, but legend says the Sidhe whisked them away to save them from an upcoming war. Relta secretly made this negotiation, knowing the Sidhe could see future conflicts. She offered to, upon her resignation, marry a Fae king in order to make the Sidhe wish to go with this agreement.
Relta found her missing mother, Queen Macha (named for Queen Macha the goddess), during her reign. The woman had become possessed by her ancestress, and now worked amongst the deities of old.

Dancing with the wolves
Tumblr media
There are fairytales about witches and fairytales for witches. Sometimes legends close to truth become stories, which are told to kids before sleep. This is exactly what happened with a life of Dancing with the wolves.
Before the first covens were created there were no reliable chronicles. This is why it is impossible to find any traces of the ancestress of tall witches in this world. There are rumours that maybe not the first one but definitely one of them was the woman between the cold north fog. Her tangled fiery hair flowed down to the chalk-coloured skin which was fully strewed with large freckles and scars. The tall figure was stronger than it could be seen by an unaware person who was staring at narrow shoulders and disproportionally long, thin limbs.
Maybe she had a real name. Anyway, history didn’t save it, just like the first years of the life of Dancing with the wolves. Fairytales narrated about the cold ground under her feet in a cruel for the mortals land. Such lonely as she owns. Only wolves were her family. Ferocious from their harsh lives, they always knew, who could heal their wounds.
It is said, if you listen to the wind itself you could catch the howl of a whole pack. Every beast followed their witch inseparably. They believed it was a good talisman from people. In cultures of nations who lived near you couldn't find a detailed legend about such women. However, in very old rumours and conjectures were left conversations, how hunters saw the wonderful female wolf, who could turn into a woman. This actually happened seldom. It was needed to lead puppets away from mortals.
In some other versions, there were even details about the full absence of clothes on the always wounded body. In such foolishness could believe only humans, forgetting that books about witches are written by people who knew about magic only from scary bedtime stories growing into orders from the priest.
Old, dead nations had stories about Dancing with the wolves saving people. Sometimes it was a lost child, sometimes an injured young maiden. Anyway, the main character of the legends was not always the recluse. That made at once several families the illusion right to claim that they were descendants of an extraordinary ancient lineage from distant frosty lands. Even the absence of love stories among many mentions of hunting and healing didn’t bother them.
This all belonged to the real magic. The main question - what Dancing with the wolves was really capable of? How witch could have werewolf’s powers? Or if she was a half-blood where were the mentions about her parents, even more relict creatures? Maybe the first kids of Day and Night were so powerful, they could own features of several species?  Reputable chroniclers would make fun of that theory but what was the right answer though? Only one witch in the world, who must wander between the stars for years and years, knew the answer.
Yet children between witches of Polaris coven believe that if you will gaze on Moon wastelands standing in the deep and silent forest, you can hear not the beast howl but a human song. And it will be heard from everlasting ices in the place of tiny trees and moss.

In The Hazbin Hotel Universe, Who Do You Love More And Think Is The Best First Human: Adam or Lilith...?
what I wrote in August 6, 2024 after the end of the poll:
Congratulation To Adam The First Man from Hazbin Hotel for winning in the poll...
-------
what I first wrote in July 30, 2024 at the start of the poll:
this poll will be a 1 week poll, so from July to August...
and since we can vote on our own polls as well, I'm going to be honest who I'm picking...
I'm picking Adam, because I don't really fully trust Charlie's Mom...
I don't even trust the Lilith from our universe who is possibly my Ancestress Gran-Gran who one of her surviving daughters may have met and fell in love with Cain who is Eve's son...
and the said daughter would be the offspring of both Adam and Lilith...and I had figured out that Gran-Gran Lilith from our universe, could of freaking went back to where Adam was at any freaking time, not for him of course, but for her and Adam's kids...
and the babies she had in that cave, were human babies and were both her and Adam's babies, meaning she was pregnant when she left him...
Adam might be self absorbed, egotistical, full of himself, probably only cries in private to hide his vulnerable and sweet but sensitive side.
plus if it does turn out that Charlie's Mom isn't as great as she appears in the fanon or like in the story that Charlie reads about her parents past...I'm still going to like Adam more than her...
Adam and Eve from our universe weren't perfect parents, and were possibly Gray-Parents...not really being 100% good, but also being kind of bad parents...like a mix of both good and bad...
but at least they didn't freaking abandon their own kids, and if a lot more of Adam and Lilith's Children did survive, and not just the few that did, and one of them possibly being my and a few others ancestor that possibly married Cain, and forming the Evalith Bloodline with a descendant of Seth, cause well I'm a descendant Seth as well...
but anyway, even if Eve might of been a Gray-Parent as well, she could of been a good Step-Mom/Adoptive-Mom to Adam and Lilith's Children...
I mean I get the whole wanting to respect and equality thing, but that isn't the problem I have with the Gran-Gran Lilith from our universe...
but I don't really fully trust Charlie's Mom either, I mean she abandon her daughter, she didn't even say where she was going, she just ups and abandons her, and gives her daughter false hope and make her believe that she is just really busy and off doing something very important...at least my Dad didn't make me think he was coming back, since he wasn't even there for when I was being born...
and the whole feeling about my Dad, is I guess mixed...
anyway, maybe with any luck we could be wrong about Charlie's Mom being a Two-Face, Lying, insensitive Apple Sugar Spice Honey Of Liquid Egg of a Witch...
but if it turns out she is a Apple Sugar Spice Honey Of Liquid Egg, I hope Rosie and Carmilla Carmine tag-team and kick her butt...
hurting Adam is strike one, hurting Lucifer is strike two...
and hurting Charlie is strike three, well or possibly four, if it turns out she owns Alastor's Soul, then I guess her hurting Alastor would be the strike three and Charlie could be the strike four...
but once again, we can't really rule out that maybe Lilith is perhaps still has some goodness in her...but we should still suspect she is still a selfish brat of a Apple Sugar Spice Honey Of Liquid Egg...
both Adam and Lucifer could probably do better than her.
and that is only if it turns out she is not as great as Charlie makes her out to be in that possibly half-truth and half-lie of a book that was possibly all made by her Mom...
anyway, this poll was originally going to have two choices but I decided to make three, you know some might love both of them and well, I want to give some that choice.
but I'm still picking Adam, because I think I like him more than her.
there be plenty of time for people to pick one of the three choices in this poll, because it will be a 1 week poll and it will give a lot of people a lot of time to see it and vote on it...
anyway after I post this, and pick Adam as one of the choices in this.
I will check out a few more things on here before I log off, and head to bed and later on, I will watch Steven Universe episodes, the Steven Universe Movie and Steven Universe Future...
hope some like this poll and have fun with picking...
