The New Solar Opposites Episode #7: “A Day With Lili” (by @avaveevo)

The episode starts with Korvo and Terry exhausted from taking care of Lili

Korvo: *wipes the sweat off of his brow* Boy what a day. Taking care of a new baby is hard work.

Terry: I know. But we both knew being parents would have responsibility

Korvo: Yeah. *referring to Yumyulack and Jesse* We get it form these two back on Shlorp when they were infants.

Terry laughs

Terry: Yeah.

Suddenly, Lili wakes up and starts crying

Korvo: Uh oh. *soothes Lili while whistling his lullaby*

Lili keeps crying causing Terry to groan in frustration

Terry: Aw man, now what do we do?

Korvo: I don’t know. We haven’t even had a time alone with each other ever since Lili came. Aw man.

Jesse comes in

Jesse: Hey guys. How is it going and *notices Lili crying* Aw poor Lili. *picks Lili up and starts soothing her* Shh… there there Lili. It’s gonna be okay.

Jesse takes Lili to the kitchen and puts her in her chair

Lili: *calms down and starts cooing*

Korvo: *gives Lili her baby food* Here, Lili. *Lili turns her head*

Jesse: Looks like she keeps turning her head.

Korvo tries to feed Lili but she turns her head again. Korvo sighs in frustration.

Korvo: Hmm?

Jesse then came up with an idea. Janiz comes in.

Janiz: Hey guys. What is it?

Korvo: Lili is refusing to eat.

Jesse: I got this! Watch this. Here comes the airplane. Whoooo

Lili eats her baby food and giggles

Jesse: Lili was it. She likes it if you pretend the spoon is an aeroplane.

Korvo: Let me try.

Lili giggles as she watches her daddy do the aeroplane.

Korvo: Here comes the aeroplane Lili. Whoooosh!

Lili opens her mouth and then eats the food as she giggles. Terry sighs with relief.

Terry: Oh thank goodness. Hey Lili can you say aeroplane? *then realizes something* Oh right. She hasn’t talk yet.

Korvo laughs

Korvo: Don’t worry. She will. Eventually.

Janiz: She hasn't even said his first word yet.

Jesse: Maybe we should take her outside for some fresh air.

Sonya: *coming in with Yumyulack and Pupa* That’s a great idea.

Yumyulack: Yeah!

Yumyulack, Jesse, Pupa and Lili turn into their human forms as the four siblings take their baby sister out for some fresh air.

Terry: Uh, should we follow them?

Korvo: Yeah. We should. *smiles*

The adults turn into their human forms as they follow the kids. Then, they found the kids looking at the sky with Human Lili.

Human Jesse: This is the sky. Can you say sky?

Lili coos

Sonya: *adored by Human Lili’s cuteness* D’aw. The sky is where rain comes from. Can you say rain?

Lili coos

Human Yumyulack: That’s right Lili. Rain is good for water birds and plants, and making muddy puddles!

Lili giggles

Human Terry and Human Korvo show up. Then, they see Human Pupa laughing as he heads to a mud puddle.

Human Pupa: Look, Lili. I am jumping up and down in a puddle.

Lili: Puddle!

The Human Solars gasp while Human Korvo faint.

Human Jesse: Did Lili just say her first word?!

Human Terry: Uh huh.

Human Yumyulack, Human Jesse, Sonya and Human Pupa: YAY!

Human Lili: *to Human Korvo* Puddle!

Human Korvo: Oh my God. Lili’s first words.

Human Korvo picks Lili up and laughs with tears of joy in his eyes

Human Korvo: Bravo Lili! I am so proud of you! *kisses Human Lili on the cheek*

Human Lili: *coos and touches Human Korvo's hair*

Human Korvo: Aw she she sure likes the hair. *gets a piece picked out* D’oh! *then shifts back into smiling at his baby daughter* D’aw so cute still.

Human Terry smirks seductively

Human Terry: *seductively* So what do you think hot stuff? Does this whole parent doesn’t look hard anymore?

Human Korvo: No. But I'm sure hard right now.

Human Terry: Really?

Human Korvo: Yep. *flips his hair*

The two human alien husbands kiss each other on the lips as they moan lovingly while Human Lili giggles. Later that night, Korvo and Terry are having sex like they do in the Valentine's Day special

Terry: Oh yeah! *moans* Keep seeking that mound you beautiful hot stud!

Korvo licks Terry's mound and the proceeds to suck harder, making Terry

Terry: Oh yes! Oh! Oh! *moans lovingly*

Korvo then starts banging Terry as Terry moans in delight.

Terry: AH! AH! OOH!

Korvo and Terry kept sexing Korvo starts dominating Terry. Korvo pins Terry against the wall while fucking him.

Korvo: Oh yeah! How it feel now you hot sexy green stud!

Terry: IT! FEELS! SO! GOOD! YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Korvo and Terry moan as they cry out in ecstasy and collapse on the bed while snuggling with each other and kiss on the lips while moaning lovingly.

Terry: This is better, huh?

Korvo: Yes, my wonderful Terry-bear. *kisses Terry on the lips*

The two husbands make out. Korvo and Terry then looks at Lili, who is finally sleeping peacefully while cooing. Korvo and Terry kisses Lili on the forehead as they head to bed and heads fast asleep.

The Rose in Alchemy

The cross stands wound densely round with roses. Who has put roses on the cross?... And from the middle springs a holy life Of threefold rays from a single point. — Goethe, Die Geheimnisse (1784-1786)

In alchemy, the white and the red rose are well-known symbols for the lunar and the solar tincture, from which the "precious rose-coloured blood" of Christ-Lapis flows. And the Shehina, the brilliance of celestial wisdom on earth, is understood in the image of the rose, and "the collection of honey" stands for the common inheritance of theosophical knowledge. “Thus the whole parable of the Song of Solomon finally refers to the object of our rose-cross: 'I am the rose of Sharon and the lily of the field'”. As regards "the correct procedure for attaining the rose-red blood of the cross that is poured (as quintessence) in the centre of the cross", Fludd used the image of wisdom: the work of the architect as a labourer of God on the building of the temple. — R. Fludd, Summum Bonum, Frankfurt, 1629

Symbolism of the Rose

A highly complex symbol; it is ambivalent as both heavenly perfection and earthly passion; the flower is both Time and Eternity, life and death, fertility and virginity. In the Occident, the rose and lily occupy the position of the lotus in the Orient. In the symbolism of the heart, the rose occupies the central point of the cross, the point of unity. The red and white rose together represent the union of fire and water, the union of opposite. In Alchemy, the rose is wisdom and the rosarium the Work; it is also the rebirth of the spiritual after the death of the temporal. In Hebrew Qabalism, the center of the rose is the sun and the petals the infinite, but harmonious, diversities of Nature. The rose emanates from the Tree of Life. In Hinduism, the lotus parallels the symbolism of the Mystic Rose as a spiritual center, especially in the chakras. For Rosicrucians, the Rose-cross is the Mystic Rose as wheel and cross; the rose is the divine light of the universe and the cross the temporal world of pain and sacrifice. The rose grows on the Tree of Life which implies regeneration and resurrection. The rose in the center of the cross is the quaternary of the elements and the point of unity.

In the Grail legend, the invocations addressed to the divine heart of Jesus contain the feminine element. It is extolled as "the temple in which dwells the life of the world," as a rose, a cup, a treasure, a spring, as the furnace of divine love "ever glowing in the fire of the Holy Ghost", as a censer and as a bridal chamber. Jesus receives the souls of the dying into his heart which "burns glowingly", "as red gold burns and melts in the fire", and the soul dissolves therein, "as water mixes with wine". All of these symbols are feminine and are therefore very closely connected with the motifs of the Grail legend and of alchemical symbolism. --Emma Jung & Marie-Louise von Franz, The Grail Legend (1986)

Sonadow Moments in Sonic Cyber Revolution (The Enter The E.G.G.M.A.N. Arc & The Babylon Rogues Arc)

The Enter The E.G.G.M.A.N. Arc

[...]

Meanwhile, Sonic landed right next to Shadow, grinning at the latter. ''How about we finally finish this?''

''I thought you'd be disappointed that the battle is already over,'' Shadow replied in a teasing tone, him and Sonic both turning towards the mech.

''Oh, I am, but I have a feeling this won't be the last one,'' Sonic responded, both getting into a starting position.

The two hedgehogs then rushed towards the mech at a speed of light, leaving only a blue and a black and orange streak behind, going into a spin-dash through each side of the mech's chest. Each of the hedgehogs landed on the opposite buildings, using the momentum to bounce off them and strike right through the mech in an X pattern in perfect sync before landing on the ground, skidding to halt as they now stood next to each other. The Death Egg Robot exploded into tiny pieces, the holographic projection vanishing as Eggman screamed in pure fury.

''I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG!''

Sonic and Shadow were joined by the rest of the team, who were cheering in relief that Eggman was finally defeated. Unknown to them, someone was watching their little celebration, standing high above on one of the buildings.

[...]

The Babylon Rogues Arc

[...]

Unknown to Team Neos, Touka and Shadow were at the Solar Stadium the whole time, albeit not in the mood to engage with their fellow teammates. They had observed the whole argument between Team Neos and the Babylon Rogues, their brows furrowed when Team Neos accepted the challenge to participate in a Tag Team Race.

''They don't know what they got themselves into,'' Touka said, her hoverboard leaned against a seat as Lucas, Sonic, Warren, Tails, Lily and Knuckles approached Chase, Jet, Rika, Wave, Arven and Storm, while Minami, Amy, Makoto and Silver sat on the bleachers. A holographic screen appeared above the racing track, allowing them to follow the race between Team Neos and the Babylon Rogues while they were inside the AR Field. Touka glanced at Shadow. ''Do you think that we should've warned them?''

''No,'' Shadow replied curtly, arms folded across his chest. ''If Sonic believes that he can win this, he can try.''

''Don't tell me that you're annoyed that he's racing against Jet,'' Touka said, rising an eyebrow. Shadow scoffed.

''Tch, if I wanted to race against him, I would've done it already,'' Shadow replied, shooting a glare at Touka. ''I'm merely curious about his performance in this kind of race.''

''So, you're actually hoping that he'll win?'' Touka asked, looking intrigued. Shadow didn't answer, focusing on the screen ahead instead, with Touka just shrugging. However, knowing her little brother, even if he didn't want to admit it, she was aware that Shadow was hoping Sonic and his team would win against Jet and the Babylon Rogues, even if the odds were clearly stacked against them.

[...]

Team Neos suddenly looked up, surprised to see Touka and Shadow walking up to them.

''We figured that one out already. You don't have to rub salt in the wound,'' Lucas said bitterly, staring at Touka. Meanwhile, Sonic turned to Shadow, who had his arms folded across his chest.

''Were you guys watching the whole race?'' he asked.

''Yes, and I had expected better from you,'' Shadow said sternly. Sonic's ears were pinned back as his eyes narrowed, staring at Shadow. Both were silent for a moment, appearing to be quite tense.

''I know, and if I get another chance, I would show you and everyone that I can go beyond my own limits,'' Sonic replied, his tone uncharacteristically serious. To his surprise, Shadow smirked.

''I'm certain that you would,'' he said, unfolding his arms, giving his rival a determined gaze. ''That's why I'm challenging you to a race.''

''What?'' Sonic was stunned, his expression matching that of his friends.

''If you manage to beat me, then you'll be able to beat the Babylon Rogues,'' Shadow continued, ignoring the looks everyone was giving him. Sonic stared at him for a moment, wondering what Shadow was trying to accomplish with this, but he then nodded, figuring that his rival must've had a good reason behind this proposal.

''I accept your challenge.''

[...]

''I accept your challenge,'' Sonic said, staring at Shadow with a determined look on his expression. He didn't know why the ebony hedgehog proposed that they race against each other, but he still went along with it, feeling that there was a good reason behind Shadow's actions. He wanted to know what the purpose of this challenge was. ''Which track do you want to race on?''

''You can pick any track you want,'' Shadow replied, extending his hand as an orb of data particles appeared before him, forming into a hoverboard. Sonic picked up his own, but just as he was about to walk over to the holographic screen to select a track, Lucas interrupted them.

''Wait a second, Shadow… What are you trying to do?'' he asked.

''I'm trying to prove a point,'' Shadow replied, with Lucas noting how this wasn't an explanation of what he was up to. He turned to Touka with a questioning look, who shrugged.

''Maybe you should just watch the race,'' she said, beckoning to them to follow her to the bleachers. Meanwhile, Sonic and Shadow prepared themselves for the race, Sonic having selected Tempo City as their racing track and still wondering what Shadow was up to. He trusted his rival, but that didn't mean he didn't have any questions. However, he was confident he would get an answer.

''You said that if I want to beat Jet, I'd have to beat you first,'' Sonic said, stepping on his hoverboard. ''But, last time we raced against each other, we always ended up in a tie. So, where's this confidence coming from?''

''I had some practice since last time,'' Shadow replied, already standing on his hoverboard. Sonic grinned at the idea of having an even bigger challenge. Both looked up at the holographic screen above flashing from red to yellow to green as the AR Field formed.

READY? SET! GO!!

Kicking off, Sonic and Shadow flew right into the AR Field, revealing itself to be an urban area, with tall buildings, archways and towers surrounding them. As this wasn't a Tag Race, there weren't any Power Boxes, meaning they had to rely on their surroundings, rails, accelerators and shortcuts to get the advantage over the other racer. Sonic grinned as he leapt onto an accelerator, getting ahead for a moment, with Shadow being right behind him. He wasn't too worried about losing this one, as he was very familiar with Tempo City's layout.

''You still have to show those skills you've been talking about!'' Sonic shouted as he and Shadow leapt onto a rail as it spiraled into the downtown area. Shadow didn't answer, narrowing his eyes and focusing on his next move. There was a stream of wind just before the end of the rail, with Shadow kicking off and leaping on the stream, getting into a half-crouch as he held onto his hoverboard, with the stream carrying him ahead of Sonic and landing on the ground in front of his rival. Sonic's jaw dropped slightly, as he didn't expect this kind of move. ''Woah, not bad!''

''Hmph!'' Hearing this comment, Shadow briefly turned his head towards Sonic, smirking, then focused back on the track. Meanwhile, outside the track, Team Neos were watching the race between Sonic and Shadow via one of the holographic screens that popped up whenever a track was in use.

''Wait, a minute, I didn't know that you could actually do that!'' Minami said. She and the rest of

''Tch, of course you can,'' Touka replied, drawing everyone's attention. ''However, the issue is that most racers don't think to use that particular shortcut because it can get difficult to time the right moment you'd have to leap onto that wind stream and the landing can be a bit hard if you don't know what you're doing. That's why people usually avoid it.''

Back on the track, Sonic and Shadow were racing through a street that had its walls decorated in graffiti. Shadow was still ahead of Sonic, but the cobalt hedgehog smirked as he knew that there were several curves at this track along with rails he could grind on to pass by Shadow. He was slowly getting closer and closer, boosting ahead of Shadow when he slowed down at one curve and leapt onto one of the rails and accelerating. Grinning, he looked back, spotting Shadow right behind him.

''Seems like I had managed to get ahead of you,'' he said.

''You're still not focused,'' Shadow told him, his eyes flicking to the side. He smirked, grabbing onto the side of his hoverboard and leaping off the rail, much to Sonic's confusion. He looked around, wondering where Shadow went to, only to realize that the ebony hedgehog had managed to get onto one of the walls that surrounded this part of the track. He was still slower than Sonic, but this was quickly made up by the walls curving up and having accelerators plastered all over. While Sonic had to leap off the rail first to get on the accelerator, Shadow simply sped down the wall, boosting ahead and getting the lead.

''Woah!'' Sonic had to admit that this was an impressive move as they entered a tunnel. He managed to gain some slight speed, but he just couldn't surpass Shadow.

''Hmph.'' Shadow briefly glanced back, slowly down slightly so he and Sonic were racing roughly at the same speed, with Sonic rising his eyebrow as Shadow addressed him, ''Why have you accepted the Babylon Rogues' challenge? What was your plan for beating them?''

''Huh?'' Sonic blinked at first, saying the first thing that came to his mind, ''Well, I was trying to outspeed them? Isn't that the point of a race?''

''Maybe in a Solo Race, but not in a Tag Team Race,'' Shadow replied, kicking off and using one of the accelerator to the side to gain more speed. Sonic followed him, his eyes narrowing as his attention was fully on his rival, who had a holographic screen opened next to him. ''Think about it! How did you manage to win your previous battles? How did you defeat Dr. Eggman?''

Sonic gave Shadow a confused look, wondering why the ebony hedgehog was asking him that, but then thought about it for a moment. ''It wasn't just me… We all fought Eggman together and…'' He grinned. ''I had my friends supporting me.''

''Then, do you understand why you lost in a Tag Team Race?'' Shadow asked, with Sonic rolling his eyes.

''Yeah, I do. Thanks for the lesson, Shads,'' Sonic replied, the latter bit being slightly sarcastic. Both of them then used another stream of wind to exit the tunnel.

Meanwhile, back at the bleachers, Touka had a holographic screen open in front of her, allowing for the whole group to hear the conversation. She noticed the looks of discomfort on Warren, Tails and Lily's expressions; Knuckles just stared ahead blankly, being deep in thought; while Lucas just sighed as he felt a strong sense of embarressement. He felt that he should've realized this earlier, as looking back on the race, they weren't exactly working together, being focused on just trying to outspeed Chase and Jet.

''Going by your expressions, you never had a clear strategy when going into this race,'' Touka said, crossing her arms across the chest. ''Have you ever participated at a Tag Team Race before?''

''…No,'' Lucas admitted, with Warren, Tails, Lily and Knuckles shaking their heads. ''This was our first time.''

''Hmph, I guess we can talk about that once Shadow and Sonic join us,'' Touka said, turning her attention back to the screen.

Meanwhile, Sonic and Shadow have entered the last part of their race, speeding down the street, with platforms floating above them. At this point, they were both going at the same speed, with Shadow drawing Sonic's attention by asking another question, ''What do you plan to do now?''

''First of all, I'm going to beat you!'' Sonic replied as he leapt onto an accelerator, boosting away. He was confident that he could defeat Shadow in this race, but to his surprise, the ebony hedgehog started weaving behind him, gaining momentum and using a nearby wall as a ramp to leap onto the platforms above them, then quickly boost down right in front of Sonic, once again taking the lead.

''Hey!'' Sonic yelled, but Shadow turned back to him with a smug smirk.

''Only because you have learned your lesson doesn't mean I'm going to let you win!'' he replied, the two passing only a few seconds later through the finish line, the AR Field behind them vanishing and both of them finding themselves back at the Solar Stadium; with Shadow being the clear winner.

Despite losing, Sonic didn't feel bad about it, as this was a race he had been looking for and he actually really enjoyed it. He turned to Shadow, who got off his hoverboard, holding up his hand curled into a fist. Shadow gave it an uncertain look at first, but then went along with the fist-bump.

''That was a great race! Thanks for the challenge!'' Sonic said, with Shadow just nodding in response. They were approached by the rest of the group, with Sonic noticing that Lucas was mulling over something. ''I know that look. What's your plan?''

[...]

''You can read it if you want, but the gist of it is that the Babylon Rogues had won the Tag Team Hoverboard Racing Tournament held in Mikado City two months ago, despite having participated at it for the first time,'' Touka added, folding her arms across her chest. ''Unless you kept up with the news, you couldn't have known that you were going against professionals.''

''That explains a lot,'' Knuckles said in a dry tone. His teammates' confidence started to falter slightly, with Sonic suddenly turning towards Touka and Shadow.

''Hey, if you two knew this the whole time, why didn't you warn us?'' Sonic asked, placing his hands on his hips, his gaze being mainly directed towards Shadow.

''We had figured that someone like you would know what you were getting yourself into,'' Shadow replied, then shrugged. ''I guess we were wrong.''

Sonic was mildly irked, glaring at Shadow, but he did figure that he probably should've thought this one through.

''What are you guys going to do now?'' Silver asked. ''You guys did agree to another race.''

''If you want, Shadow and I could train you for it,'' Touka suggested, getting some surprised looks from her teammates. She rose an eyebrow. ''Why are you staring at me like that?''

''We just didn't expect you to offer us help. Usually, you guys just avoid any social interactions,'' Minami pointed out.

''We'll make an exception for this case,'' Shadow replied, only for his ears to twitch when he heard Sonic whistling.

''Wow, and I thought you'd only join us during world-ending scenarios,'' Sonic said sarcastically, elbowing Shadow.

''We merely decided to spare you from further embarrassement,'' Shadow responded, with the two just staring at each other intensely. After a moment of awkward silence, which seemed to last an eternity, Amy got between the two, turning to Shadow.

[...]

''We'll definitely prove them wrong,'' Sonic said confidently.

''Just don't get too cocky. You have yet to win a race,'' Shadow told him.

''Don't worry about that Shads. Even if I can't beat you, I'm sure I can beat Jet,'' Sonic replied. Shadow just snorted.

''I guess I'll never understand how you can be this optimistic,'' he muttered under his breath, quiet enough for only Sonic to hear him.

Sonic just grinned back in response.

My own Cookie Run Fangame

So, yall probably have played Pokémon Violet or at least have heard of it at all, its obviously the opposite to Scarlet which is my preferred version, because Koraidon my beloved. But that’s about the games no it’s about my Cookie Run Fangame of which I have called Cookie Run Omega working on a name for it, its because I see CRK as the Pokémon Scarlet Version due to the existence of the Ancients so why not one based on Violet version that takes place far into the future and with a new rarity known as the Futuristic rarity and all Futuristic Cookies will probably take the robot route or maybe some Spec Evo idk yet but some changes to already existing Cookies first Blackberry would now be a Legendary and so is Adventurer and Onion unlike in Kingdom where they are Rare’s because this is the future people, Princess will now be Epic and many more. But here are all of the new Futuristic Cookies Feral Blackberry Cookie (and yes just like how White Lily is to Dark Enchantress she is the futuristic form to Blackberry that has gone full on feral and is based on domesticated organisms becoming feral) Tripod Cookie (Futuristic form of Black Pearl that’s based on the Tribbets from Serina) Solar Cookie (Yeah they’re basically a descendant to Angel Cookie that is based on Solar Panels that are also part machine) Omega-Saur Cookie (Basically a futuristic Dino-Sour descendant) Which I am planning to make Feral Blackberry the antagonist of this game and Blackberry as the protagonist basically fighting against her future self and the whole story is centered all around her. But also it won’t be an RPG like Kingdom but would be something along the lines of SA2, so basically an Action-Adventure Platform Game and just like Sonic Adventure 2 it will have its own Chao Garden like thing.

Which the story is even darker than Kingdom’s with even more dark topics like drug abuse, and even swearing

Adult Swim cuts ties with domestic abuser Justin Roiland

Adult Swim: After learning that voice actor Justin Roiland has been charged with felony domestic abuse in California, Adult Swim has opted to end its affiliation with him.

Even though Roiland had a key part in the creation and continuance of Rick and Morty, the TV network didn’t think twice about making the crucial decision.

The news

Marie Moore, senior VP of communications for Adult Swim and Cartoon Network, confirmed the claims in a statement released on Tuesday:

“Adult Swim has ended its association with Justin Roiland.”

According to a post from the official Rick and Morty Twitter account, the show will go on without Roiland.

“Rick and Morty will continue,” the tweet said. “The talented and dedicated crew are hard at work on Season 7.”

Adult Swim

Adult Swim is a block of programming on Cartoon Network that mostly consists of animated material targeted at adults and airs late at night.

The block, which debuted in 2001, has become well-known for its varied and occasionally avant-garde programming, which consists of a blend of original shows, acquired programs, and feature films.

Among the most popular shows to have shown on Adult Swim are:

Rick and Morty

Boondocks

Aqua Teen Hunger Force

The Venture Bros

This block’s programming is well-known for its quirky comedy as well as its mature themes and imagery.

Adult Swim has a reputation for cultivating a strong sense of community among its fans due to the fact that several of its episodes have become cultural phenomena and have inspired merchandise, fan art, and even live events.

All things considered, Adult Swim provides an outlet for animators to experiment and push the boundaries of animated television as well as a destination for fans looking for something distinctive and out of the ordinary.

Roiland

Since Rick and Morty’s continuation has been confirmed, Justin Roiland’s voice parts will be replaced.

Since the show’s debut, Roiland has been acknowledged as a co-creator.

After his departure, Dan Harmon will be the sole showrunner left.

Rick and Morty will air until season 10 as already guaranteed.

Justin Roiland continues to work on other projects while departing, such as providing the voice of the lead character in the Hulu comedy Solar Opposites.

He also produces and contributes voice to Koala Man, which will be released on January 9.

Additionally, Roiland has a deal with 20th Television Animation...Read More

“The calyx or cup of the lily is particularly distinct; thus the lotus has embodied manifestation, center, heart, or spiritual vessel from which is born the divine within. Equally reflective of the vital source, the deep calyx of the lily shaped into trumpet, bell and chalice shoots up in every hue from the dark earth at springtime, heralding resurrection and renewal. Highly regenerative, the lily surfaces even after fire or drought. Alchemy honored the lily as evoking the very essence of Mercurius, the spirit of psyche’s unconscious depths and transforming opus. As the quintessence, the longed goal of the adept, lily represents psychic integrity that is no longer pulled apart by affect. The alchemical lily is ‘incorruptible’ and ‘eternal,’ ‘the noblest thing that human meditation can reach.’ United in love as one after long opposition, the red lily represents psyche’s solar, masculine energies; the white lily the lunar and feminine that counters the combustible nature of the sun.”

- Edward Edinger, from The Book of Symbols

A/N: @cyxxxx sorry, it took me longer than I expected, but I tried my best. So, hope you enjoy it. Sorry for any mistakes, English is not my first language.

"This work can be considered as the third part of the storyline. The other parts you may find here " (and here you may read an afterword for this work)

"Today I'm dirty, I want to be pretty

Tomorrow, I know I'm just dirt"

You played the rough strings, leaning back against the gray wall covered with scraps of old wallpaper. Through the glass, muddy with the dust of the city and streaks of years of dirt, the sun's rays penetrated into the room like golden threads, illuminating specks of dust, dancing in the air, and as if absorbed by the darkness, they sank into the depths of the hall.

"Today I'm dirty, I want to be pretty

Tomorrow, I know I'm just dirt"

The distant noise of the street seemed to come from a dream, more like the rustle of leaves on a light breeze. The honking of cars, the voices of people, the singing of birds-all this dissolved in the dusty air, mixed with it, and like a fog enveloped the mind, plunging it into a kind of trance. The cycle of time closed with a shining wire of solar music, intertwining with such a small and cramped, but so huge and endless space of a stuffy room.

"We're the nobodies, we wanna be somebodies

When we're dead, they'll know just who we are"

A ray of sunlight on the opposite wall illuminated a worn fragment of a heraldic lily on a piece of wallpaper, and you, without knowing why, could not take your eyes off it. Your voice was low, but you could feel each sound resonating in your chest, trembling on the tip of your tongue, causing a slight shiver and spreading a pleasant warmth through your body. It was as if you were trying to taste each word, to grasp its hidden meaning, slowing down the rhythm, stretching out the bars, as if you were carving each letter on the walls of your soul.

"We're the nobodies, we wanna be somebodies

When we're dead, they'll know just who we are"

Your voice suddenly weakened and broke off on the last word, and you chuckled soundlessly, swallowing the lump and feeling your fingers tremble. You didn't notice a man appear in the dark of the room. Leaning noiselessly against the doorjamb, he listened to your singing without moving.

"Yesterday I was dirty, wanted to be pretty

I know now that I'm forever dirt"

You flinched in surprise, your heart pausing for a moment, causing you to smile involuntarily at your sensitivity in the next second. The voice sounded hoarse after a long silence, but its depth and the bitterness that came from the very soul filled the room like heavy sea water swallowing a sinking ship. You closed your eyes, trying to catch every second of the sound, every transition and shade of his voice, trying to let his longing into your mind, to feel his pain. He said the last word with anger through clenched teeth.

"Yesterday I was dirty, wanted to be pretty

I know now that I'm forever dirt"

You sang, as if echoing him. Leaning over the guitar, you couldn't see the person standing at the door, but you could feel the heavy, thoughtful gaze on you all over, making it seem as if he was very close, standing right next to you, almost touching you...

"We're the nobodies, we wanna be somebodies

When we're dead, they'll know just who we are"

His voice was close to your ear, and you could almost feel his warm breath on your skin. You tightened your fingers on the strings, trying to calm the trembling and banish the painful sense of elusive reality. You wanted to hear it again, to capture in your memory forever the interweaving of your voices, to preserve that sacred moment of inexplicable happiness, which seemed to fade with every second, like golden grains of sand slipping through your fingers, leaving instead a bitter, cruel darkness.

"We're the nobodies, we wanna be somebodies

When we're dead, they'll know just who we are"

The last sounds of your voices faded into the echoing silence. Seeping through the muddy walls, they rushed towards the boundless ocean of the sky, carried away by the streams of sunlight... You didn't dare look up, as if you were afraid of breaking the tender bond between you.

"It's a pity we didn't sing together so often," he said after what seemed like an eternity. You heard the rustle of his clothes as he rose to his feet.

"You know... I've always loved your voice, " you said softly, and finally looked up at him. Your lips trembled, but you couldn't let tears cloud the features so dear to you. He stood in front of you, illuminated by the amber light, the sun glinting in his hair. His gaze was warm and sad, like an autumn sunset over a yellowing forest.

"Y/N..." He touched your cheek with his thin fingers, and you closed your eyes, trying to remember his touch. "I loved you... I loved you more than anything in this mad world..."

You felt him pull away and unconsciously tried to grab his hand. The outstretched hand dissolves like smoke, and your fingers weakly grasp the void in an attempt to touch the much-desired image. You shudder in a fit of despair, a silent moan escapes from your chest and a veil of tears blurs the sunny silhouette.

"Y/N... You remember that I died..."

Sun and moon trope: but make it toxic

// AKA basically Lunar and Solar.

I'm really not that good at analysis posts but this is a messy one I've really been wanting to make for a while. My OCs Solar/Setsuna and Lunar/Lily have a lot of symbolism in their characters I would love to talk about. <3

Obviously, the word 'solar' refers to the sun and 'lunar' refers to the moon and they are both considered to be polar opposites. The sun as a character is depicted as bubbly and bright while the moon is seen as dark and mysterious.

This can apply to Setsuna and Lily- Setsuna, who is pursuing the career of an idol, has a vivid and lively personality while Lily, who has an interest in more classical singing, exhibits an elegant, noble-like and mystifying aura.

You can see and understand why people love character relationships that equip the 'sun and moon' trope- opposites attract. Although they are not in a romantic relationship, Setsuna and Lily have grown to have a very close friendship for over a long time.

However, for some period of time, their friendship began to fade as Solar began to rise to fame: meaning she had no more time to develop their friendship further. The two are currently still on good terms, but Setsuna and Lily act very cautiously around each other.

Commonly in 'sun and moon' ships, the 'sun' character gracefully 'shares their light' with the dark 'moon' character. This is the case for Solar and Lunar- except Lunar is actually draining that energy out of her friend.

Setsuna mentions that Lily aided her in training to become an idol before she went on the idol survival show, as Lunar was already a well-trained classical singer herself so Solar believed she was a great type of coach.

However, Lunar could be seen pushing Setsuna to the absolute limit and continuously scrutinising the girl (as of 21/04/22, only the first part of the fic series has been posted: but I promise y'all Lunar's antics will get worse from here). Despite all this treatment, Solar thought nothing about it and it's also worth mentioning that she was completely wrapped around Lunar's finger: the only thing she wished for was her praise.

Lily never held any bitter resentment towards Setsuna and she genuinely wanted the best for her friend, but she believes all her manipulation and actions are justified because her own mother had the same purple eyes as Setsuna.

Another underlying reason why Lunar thought this way was because of her own treatment by her mother, but that's another story for another day.

Solar Opposites: The Misadventures of The Solars Episode #2: Localization F%#ks!

The episode opens with Cooke was busy fixing a drill. *just like Korvo did in the first episode*

Shlorpian Cooke: Dig dang it! *uses the fixer* stupid thing!

Sandra: *an Earth-4 neighbor* Mmm, build better drills Cooke. Work those red arms.

Shlorpian Frankie: Hey! He’s mine you seducing bitch!

Shlorpian Cooke: Yeah! Stop addressing me your eyes Sandra! That is fucking creepy!

Human Korvo shows up

Human Korvo: Excuse me, the Replicants missed the bus. Can you take them to school? Terry and I have stuff to do. *notices Sonya is not here and sighs* Where the hell is Sonya?

Sonya is then heard screaming. Human Korvo gasps.

Human Korvo: Sonya?! Hang on Sonya, daddy’s coming.

The rest of the family rushes back inside only to gasp in shock. Sonya is now a replicant, grinning in joy upon seeing her transformation.

Replicant Sonya: This is awesome!

Human Solars: Sonya?

Replicant Sonya: Guys! Guys! I’m a Replicant and I got two toes!

Human Korvo laughs

Human Korvo: Aw, you still look pretty honey. Even as a Replicant. You’re even a Shlorpian just like your dads and older siblings.

Replicant Sonya giggles

Human Terry: Hey come you guys missed the bus? You’re gonna be late!

Replicant Stacy G: We didn’t miss it! They purposely skipped our house!

Human Korvo: I'm sure it was an accident.

Replicant Stacy G: Ugh! The bus driver hates us because I accidentally made an explosion in the sample override with my electric hair groomer!

Replicant Sonya: Can we please go? Home room is when I decided which boy I’m gonna crush on for the day!

Shlorpian Cooke: Seriously?! Does the dog park seem so important to you today?!

Human Terry: Yeah. It's where Korvo and I are gonna have our date.

Human Korvo smiles and blushes.

Shlorpian Cooke: I’m busy.

Shlorpian Ms. Perez: Oh come on Cooke. Don’t be like that.

Shlorpian Cooke: Well one of you guys should be helping me construct our drill!

Human Korvo: Come on Cooke. I just got into dog parks. Terry and I don’t want to miss the labordoodles.

Shlorpian Cooke: Oh is the dog park more important than Nikol Aloid so he can help turn us back to normal!

Human Terry: Uh I don’t know Cooke. Could Nikol Aloid catch a frisbee in the air?

Shlorpian Cooke: You won’t know until we get there! You know sometimes it feels like I’m the only one who is having a terrible time on this planet.

Human Korvo: Well I don’t blame you. I was the one who wanted to land here.

Shlorpian Cooke: Well your stupid scanners didn’t indicate it was craphold without a single redeeming value, Korvo! We have been stranded here for two months! How is that not a problem for all off you? *heads inside the drill*

Human Korvo sighs

Human Korvo: This won’t end well like last time with the drill.

Human Terry: Yeah. It won't...

Shlorpian Cooke started the drill. The drill’s reactions ends up causing devastation around Earth-4 as the residents run for their lives. Shlorpian Cooke made it to the core and uses a claw to grab a sample.

Shlorpian Cooke: *leans the cran over* Okay… alright… come to papa… *suddenly lavas spews into the cockpit* Oh no! No no no no no! *lava burns his legs and screams in pain*

Shlorpian Cooke teleports back to the surface. Earth-4 dogs and Human Pupa appears and starts licking him as Human Korvo and Human Terry gives him a dismayed and annoyed look.

Human Korvo: *deadpanned* I warned ya!

Shlorpian Cooke growls

Shlorpain Randall: Wow! You guys should’ve seen that dog park that looks like the one back on Earth! *looks down at the puppies* You cute puppies love those nubs? You like to like them, yes you do?

Human Terry notices Human Korvo's distress

Human Terry: Korv? What's wrong?

Human Korvo: Hmm?

Human Terry: You look upset. Wanna talk?

Human Korvo sighs sadly and nods. The two human husbands head inside and turn into their Shlorpian forms.

Terry: Honey, are you okay? What is it you want to tell me?

Korvo: I can't believe all this happened...I don't know what to do. It's bad enough I'm pregnant- *covers mouth in shock*

Terry: Wh-what?

Korvo sighs

Korvo: I'm pregnant. I know you're probably mad but-

Terry: *gasp in joy* Oh my God! We’re having a baby! I am so happy for you! *kisses Korvo on the lips as Korvo smiles*

Korvo giggles and moans lovingly

Korvo: Thank you Terry. *sighs* But I am still not giving up hope! I must do whatever it takes to get our friends back to normal!

Terry: That's the Korvo I know.

The two alien husbands kiss again. The scene then cuts to school where the Replicants are walking through the halls.

Replicant Stacy G: You ever have the feeling everyone thinks we're weird.

Human Jesse: Of course not. This school might be better than our old one.

Suddenly, Replicant Stacy G gets hit by a spitball.

Sidney: Go back to Earth, you former human shit!

Human Jesse: Hey! Don’t talk to my GF like that!

Human Yumyulack gets hit by a spit ball

Replicant Sonya: Hey! Don’t do that to my big brother you jerk! *kicks Sidney in the leg*

Sidney: Ow! Why you little psychotic-

Human Jesse then punches Sidney in the nose like violently protective girlfriend and sister she is.

Human Jesse: Fuck off!

Human Yumyulack: Yeah! That’s right! Now get!

Sidney and the rest of the bullies run off in fear.

Replicant Stacy G: Man, is that how you guys felt back on Earth?

Human Jesse: Yep.

Miss Cranberry: Are you humans and Shlorpians fighting the hall? *suddenly reveals to be nicer and sweet* Why don’t you four take anger management class?

The scene then cuts to Replicant Stacy G venting while the human Replicants and Replicant Sonya watch

Replicant Stacy G: And not only did Victoria Limburger humiliate me today at home economics, but she also stole my spot at the spot for voting for prom Queen! *screams in rage and breaks a vase*

Human Jesse smiles as she blushes and sighs lovingly at her girlfriend’s rage.

Human Jesse: I love it when she gets angry…

The scene then cuts back to the house where Shlorpian Cooke’s foot is starting to regrow.

Korvo: *walks in* Looking good.

Shlorpian Cooke: Thanks. *notices Korvo’s pregnant belly* What the fuck happened to you?!

Korvo: Uh...well...

Terry: Korvy is pregnant!

Shlorpian Cooke: What?! How is that-

Korvo: Well to be honest, this is a new thing. There hasn’t been records of this back on Shlorp.

Korvo starts weeping

Terry: Oh honey what’s wrong?

Korvo: *weeping* I've never been pregnant before. I don't know what to do!

Terry: Hey hey shh… it’s okay. It’s gonna be okay.

Korvo: *eyes turn aquamarine* NO! IT'S NOT OKAY!

Terry: *gasp* Oh shit honey… *whispering* You eyes.

Korvo gasps and shakes his head, causing his eyes to turn back to normal.

Korvo: *takes a deep breath then his fingertips turning black* Uh… be right back!

Korvo and Terry rush to the bathroom as Korvo falls to his knees

Terry: Honey, are you about to-

Korvo turns black and then grows bigger and muscular as he rips apart his robe after stretching his back. Then, his horns pop out on his head and his voice becomes distorted. After receiving his bat wings, Korvo roars and fully becomes a Super Shlorpian. Then, he breaks down in tears while holding his pregnant belly.

Super Shlorpian korvo: *tearfully* What am I gonna do?!

Terry: Hey it’s okay. The new baby is gonna be amazing and don’t worry. We’ll wait until it is the right time to tell the gang about your Super Shlorpian form. Besides, you know we always wanted to have a baby since we got married…

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Yeah...but what if-

Terry: Listen.

Super Shlorpian Korvo sniffles as Terry put his hand on Korvo’s.

Terry: I know things have been happening so fast. And I know you’re having a hard time turning the humans back to normal. But, it’s gonna be okay. With all of the family together, we got this. I don’t know what this new life is gonna bring, but whatever comes, we’ll get through it. Together.

Super Shlorpian Korvo smiles tearfully

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Oh Terry.

The two husbands kiss and moan lovingly as they start having sex. The scene then cuts to the Principal Mowbar’s office where the Replicants are in.

Principal Mowbar: Well, one to be fair, it’s okay for to have sci-fi since this is a free country planet. And two, we are really amazed by your grades.

Replicant Sonya: Wait? So we’re not in trouble?

Principal Mowbar: *chuckles* Of course not.

Miss Cranberry: Well to be honest, it wasn’t fair for these girls to bully you. *gets out a folder* Plus, your grades are really improving. Especially for you three Solar siblings.

Human Jesse smiles.

Human Yumyulack, Human Jesse and Replicant Sonya: Thanks Miss Cranberry.

Miss Cranberry: Plus Jesse, we are very amazed by your report based on your favorite creature… the… Mundane?

Principal Mowbar: Yeah. We haven’t heard about this in awhile. How did you know about this interesting monster?

Human Jesse: Oh… since I was a baby… when I was still a baby, I was playing in my crib…

A flashback plays as baby Jesse plays with her hangar. Terry approaches her.

Terry: Hey there Jesse-bear… how’s my cute baby doing? *tickles baby Jesse’s belly*

Baby Jesse: *coos and touches Terry's face*

Suddenly, Terry hears something and puts baby Jesse down in her crib as she coos. Terry kisses baby Jesse on the forehead and leaves as he runs out of the apartment.

Human Jesse: *voiceover* Suddenly, Terry left. And I was still fiddling around.

An hour later, Baby Jesse is fast asleep. Until, suddenly, baby Jesse heard a growling sound and crawls out her crib and starts crawling.

Human Jesse: *voiceover* An hour passed and Terry still hasn’t come back… *baby Jesse laughs as she tries to reach for her favorite teddy bear* Until, I heard the Mundane!

A roar is heard

Baby Jesse: *gets confused and babbles*

Baby Jesse kept crawling to the teddy as she gets up on the couch and laughs. But then, she heard the roar again.

Human Jesse: *voiceover* I tried to ignore the roaring at first...but then...

Baby Jesse finally reaches for the teddy as she laughs and squeaks it.

Mundane: *roars*

Baby Jesse turns around and sees the Mundane

Baby Jesse: *babbles*

Mundane: *roars*

Baby Jesse: *squeals in joy and starts coming up to it*

The Mundane grunts in confusion

Baby Jesse: *stands up after dropping her teddy bear and starts to stand up as she tries walking towards the Mundane*

The Mundane gasps and picks up Baby Jesse

Baby Jesse: *giggles as she touches the Mundane’s face but then starts getting fussy*

Human Jesse: *voiceover* I started to get fussy but then suddenly, he starts soothing and cradling me…

Mundane: Shh… shh…

Baby Jesse stops crying and whimpers

Mundane: *muffling comforting voice*

The flashback ends

Human Jesse: Then after that, the Mundane was gone and I was suddenly on the floor in Terry’s arms. I never saw the creature again for years.

Miss Cranberry: Very fascinating. It’s great to know you have some guardians to keep an eye on you, especially your parents.

Human Yumyulack: Damn...

Replicant Sonya: Well, should we head out now Principal Mowbar?

Principal Mowbar: *wipes away tears* Yes, you may...

Human Yumyulack, Human Jesse, Replicant Sonya and Replicant Jesse: Thank you! *leaves the office*

Later with Korvo and Terry

Korvo: *sighs* Should we tell our kids about this?

Terry: When they're ready, okay?

Korvo: *sighs in relief* Okay. Wait that reminds me. We have to tell them about the-

Jesse: *offscreen* Baby?!

The adults turn around and the Replicants are shocked upon seeing Korvo’s pregnant belly.

Korvo: Uh-

Yumyulack: Korvo! You’re pregnant?!

Replicant Stacy G: Holy cow! How?!

Terry: It's complicated...

Yumyulack, Jesse, Replicant Sonya, Pupa and Replicant Stacy G: *adored by cuteness* Aaaaw. You guys are having a baby? So cute. Aw, what a whittle cutie patootie. So cute! Baby!

Korvo chuckles

Korvo: *rubbing his pregnant belly* Yep. That’s right. In a few days, you kids are gonna have a new sibling.

Pupa: *hugs Korvo’s pregnant belly* Baby!

Terry: Hmm… you know I wonder how the others are doing.

The scene then cuts to Shlorpian Ms. Perez walking by.

Alien Kid: Move it hippie!

Shlorpian Ms. Perez: Sorry.

Alien Kid: Stupid hippie!

Shlorpian Ms. Perez: Hey! I resent that!

The scene then cuts to Shlorpian Frankie walking, until two alien women laugh at her while talking secretly about her behind their backs.

Shlorpian Frankie: *annoyed* Aw really funny!

The scene then cuts to Shlorpian Darcy and Shlorpian Jamie heading to a house until some of the residents insulted them.

Earth-4 Hot Woman: Oh my God! What the fuck are you guys wearing?!

Shlorpian Jamie growls

Earth-4 Hot Guy: Just go to hell you stupid bitch cunts!

Earth-4 Resident: Nobody wants you here!

The Earth-4 Residents starts throwing stuff at Shlorpian Jamie and Shlorpian Darcy as they ran for their lives. The scene then cuts to Shlorpian Louise grocery shopping.

Shlorpian Louise: *to an employee* Excuse me, can you show me where the vegetable isle is?

Employee: Hmph! *walks away*

Shlorpian Louise: Okay…

Then, one by one, Shlorpian Louise tries to talk to the employees.

Shlorpian Louise: Sid? Marsha? Karen? Mikey? Sid? Kirt?! Larry! *breaks down as Shlorpian Trevor comforts her* Won’t someone vouch for me?

The scene cuts back to the house, where Shlorpian Cooke is reading a book while the rest of the Shlorpians came in sadly.

Shlorpian Cooke: Hey, guys. What's going on? Everything-

Shlorpian Frankie: Horrible day. Aliens hates me? *turns to the rest of the Shlorpians* What about you guys?

All: Same.

Shlorpian Randall: Aw man. This being Shlorpian stuff sucks ass. There’s gotta be a way for the town to like us.

Shlorpian Frankie: But how?

Korvo: *offscreen* I know how.

Then the tv starts playing with a commercial for a block party downtown.

Tv Announcer: *on tv* Come on down to the Earth-4 Annual Rock Fest with so many guests, music performances and special accolades for the whole family!

Korvo: Guys! I have an idea that might help all of us-

Shlorpian Cooke: Guys! I just had a crazy idea!

Korvo: Huh?

All: Oooh!

Shlorpian Randall: Let’s hear it!

Shlorpian Cooke: What if we show ourselves off at that party? We could use sci-fi stuff to help impress those guys! People will love us!

Korvo: *horrified and shock* Wait! What?!

Shlorpian Randall: Hey! I think that’s a great idea!

Korvo: What?! No it isn’t it. The last time my family and I did that, it ended in disaster!

Shlorpian Cooke: Oh that’s bullshit! I’m sure everything will be fine Korvo. Sometimes, your sci-fi shenigans backfire! But they always work out in the end.

Korvo groans in frustration

Korvo: Fine! But if a huge disaster happens at the festival and all hell breaks loose, don’t come crying to me.

Shlorpian Cooke: Thanks Korv. Let’s do this guys!

All: Yeah.

Solars and Replicant Stacy G: Oh boy.

Later, Korvo is in his room crying while rubbing his pregnant belly softly while looking at opened locket with a picture of Replicant Janiz holding baby Korvo. Terry comes in.

Terry: Hey honey. You feeling okay?

Korvo: NO!

Terry: Hey hey. Easy boo. Can you please tell me why?

Korvo: BECAUSE! THE OTHER'S ARE GONNA DO SOMETHING RECKLESS AND WON'T LISTEN TO ME!

Korvo breathes in and out as he then breaks down in tears while clenching the locket.

Terry: Oh Korvo... *had an idea* Will sex help?

But then, Terry notices the locket in Korvo’s hand with the picture and gasp.

Terry: Korvy… is that… you when you were a baby with your sister?

Korvo nods

Korvo: I just… I just… I JUST MISS HER SO MUCH! *breaks down in tears while rubbing his pregnant belly*

Terry: Hey hey. It's okay...

Terry consoles Korvo as he continues crying.

Terry: Shh… sh… it’s okay Korvy… I’m here…

Terry notices Korvo's fingertips going black.

Terry: Uh Korv… YOUR FINGERS! LOOK?

Korvo gasps

Korvo: No! Not again!

Korvo’s skin turns black as he grows bigger and muscular and rips apart his clothes as he roars once his wings and horns pop out. He suddenly moans in pleasure

Terry: K-Korvy?

Super Shlorpian Korvo: *moans lovingly* I feel so goooooooood.

Terry: *blushes* Holy shit...

Super Shlorpian Korvo: *seductively walks towards Terry* Oh Terry-bear, this beast needs to be tamed…

Terry: Uh...why? *nervous chuckle*

Suddenly Terry realized what Korvo meant and grows smitten.

Terry: Oh ho ho. Korvo, *had his clothes taken off by Korvo* you dirty slut.

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Come here you!

Super Shlorpian Korvo then dominates Terry as they moan lovingly.

Terry: *moans* Yes! Take me away! *moans* Take me to mound town, you beautiful shimmering blue bitch!

Super Shlorpian Korvo: *moans* Yes! Feel it my sexy Terry-bear! *moans lovingly*

Terry: Ooooooh! I’m getting fucking close! *moans*

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Yes! Oh yes! Me too!

The two alien husband cum as they moan lovingly and kiss each other on the lips while moaning. Super Shlorpian Korvo flaps his wings.

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Thanks for being there for my handsome Terrybear!

Terry laughs

Terry: Anytime Korvy…

The two husbands kiss as Korvo turns back to normal

Korvo: *moans in relief* That’s much better… *rubbing his pregnant belly*

Korvo smiles tearfully because the baby will be born soon

Korvo: *smiles tearfully; to his pregnant belly* Hey there lil sweetheart… I can’t wait to see you soon.

Terry: Me neither...

The two husbands kiss as they moan lovingly. The scene then cuts to the festival where the Shlorpians get ready.

Shlorpian Frankie: I am so excited!

Shlorpian Louise: I know! This is our chance to finally it in!

Korvo watches from the distance and sighs

Korvo: Oh boy… this won’t end well…

We then cut to the festival

Shlorpian Cooke: Alright guys, just like we planned!

All: Right!

Then hilarity ensues. First, Shlorpian Ms. Perez tries to talk to the local while making a strange sci-fi cocktail. But then it starts spewing

Shlorpian Ms. Perez: Oh shit, sorry!

The glass exploded as it knocks towards a BBQ Grill that started a fire!

Shlorpian Ms. Perez: That's not good.

Then, the scene cuts to the music performance where Shlorpian Cooke interrupted the audience.

Shlorpian Cooke: Hey Earth-4! If you love this performance, check this out!

Shlorpian Cooke uses the crystal ray but then it a hits a giant wooden warrior that turns into a crystal and shatters into pieces. The audience’s flame torches go out upon this reaction and they all turn to Shlorpian Cooke, Shlorpian Trevor and Shlorpian Randall in fury.

Shlorpian Cooke: Uh...

Shlorpian Randall: *tries to cool things down* Hey! Let’s hear it for the song… “Closing Time”!

The audience starts yelling angrily. The audience then forms into a mob as they summon weapons and jeers at the three human men turn Shlorpians.

Shlorpian Trevor: Oh shit.

Shlorpian Randall: Fucking run?

Shlorpian Cooke: Oh hell yeah! Fucking run!

The scene then cuts to Shlorpian Frankie trying to fix a broken carousel.

Shlorpian Frankie: Alright… almost there… just have to get the screw loose and-

Suddenly, the screw comes out and it hits a fruit punch truck that explodes into the senior home.

Senior Home Staff Member: Alright seniors, *opens the window* Let’s open these windows so the world can see your nice white clothes.

The fruit punch flood heads into the senior home as the seniors gets caught it in. The scene then cuts to a janitor who is mopping as the fruit flood spills out punch, but ignores it because he is listening to music. The scene then cuts an old man finishing a memoir in red ink.

Old Man Alien: Oh, it’s finally finished. A memoir of my life, written in red ink. *fruit punch flood comes in and covers up the memoir* Oh… barnacle chips.

Shlorpian Louise: *looks at the destruction of the flood* Uh… Frankie?

Shlorpian Frankie notices the destruction and gasps

Shlorpian Frankie: Oh…. Shit.

Old Woman Alien: Get them!

The senior aliens form a mob that attack the humans turned Shlorpians

Shlorpian Frankie: Fucking run guys!

The Shlorpians kept running as fast as they can as the mob kept throwing stuff at them.

Shlorpian Cooke: Aw man, is this how the Solars felt?!

Shlorpian Frankie: I think so.

Shlorpian Randall: Aw man, forget eating like a local! Forget partying like a local! We should’ve have listen to Korvo!

Shlorpian Louise sighs.

Shlorpian Louise: Yep. This our life now.

Suddenly... The Shlorpians see a ship crashing near their house and gasp.

Shlorpian Cooke: What the fuck? Is that a spaceship?!

Shlorpian Trevor: I think so. Let’s follow it and- *screams one of the mob throws a bottle at him but luckily he dodged it*

The Shlorpians arrive at the ship.

Human Korvo: *arriving with his family* What’s going on?!

Shlorpian Louise: We're being chased!

Shlorpian Randall: Today was horrible! We try to fit in better, but we fucked things up!

Human Terry: Don't worry. I got this.

Human Terry heads out and decided to deal with the mob.

Human Terry: SHUT IT!

The mob is silence. Human Terry breathes heavily.

Human Terry: What the fuck is wrong with you people?! I know these Shlorpians screw up but, they were just trying to fit in on this planet ever since they came here. Just like me and my family did? I know what they did was wrong but, they were just trying to make Earth-4 feel like home. You should all be ashamed of yourselves! So what are you gonna do about it?!

Mob Member: Well-

Suddenly, the door opens from the ship as it reveals a purple Shlorpian that surprisingly looks like Korvo. Human Korvo turns around and gasps.

Human Korvo: It-it can’t be… Janiz?

Human Yumyulack: Auntie Janiz?

Janiz: Korvo? Is that you? What happened to you?

Human Korvo burst into tears of joys and embrace his big sister while the Shlorpians grow surprised. Human Terry smiles.

Human Korvo: *sniffles* I-I thought I lost you forever…

Janiz: I'm so glad you're alive...

Shlorpian Louise: Wait. Korvo, you know this Shlorpian?

Human Korvo: Yeah, she's my sister.

The Shlorpians froze in shock and surprise

Shlorpians: YOUR WHAT?!

Then, a pink AI appears.

Pink AI: *sing-songy* Hello!

Human Korvo: *gasps* EVA?!

EVA: Korvo! You’re here and… *notices Korvo’s human form* wow. You look different since the last time I saw you.

Human Korvo: Thanks. I learnt to shapeshift when I was on Earth...

Human Jesse turns to face the mob with an angry expression

Human Jesse: ALL OF YOU! JUST GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!

The mob leaves in fear as Human Terry puts a hand on Human Jesse's shoulder

Human Terry: Nice going honey.

Human Jesse smiles and turns back into her Shlorpian form

Jesse: Thanks daddy.

Jesse hugs Human Terry, who turns back into his Shlorpian form. Then, the scene cuts back to Janiz overjoyed to see her brother again while AISHA appears. The rest of the family turns into their Shlorpian forms.

AISHA: Hey dummies. What up and- *recognizes EVA and gasp* EVA?! You’re here?!

EVA: Hey, cous!

AISHA smiles in tears of joy and laughs as she embraces her cousin.

AISHA: Oh God, I missed you so much.

EVA: D'aw, I missed you too!

Then, Janiz notices Yumyulack.

Janiz: Yumyulack?! *squeals in joy* Oh my god! *hugs Yumyulack tightly but carefully* Look how big you grown! I haven’t seen you since you were a baby!

Yumyulack *laughs* Good to see you too!

Janiz then gasp in joy upon seeing Terry, Jesse and the Pupa.

Janiz: Oh my God. Is this your lifemate?

Terry blushes and smiles

Korvo: Terry is more than actually. He is also my husband.

Korvo shows his wedding ring

Janiz: *gasp in joy and hugs Terry* Then that makes you my handsome brother in law. Thank you for taking care of my little brother.

Terry: *laughs* Anytime.

Jesse: Yay! *hugs Janiz* I always wanted a aunt! Hi Auntie Janiz! I’m your niece!

Janiz laughs. Then, Janiz sees Replicant Sonya holding Pupa.

Janiz: Oh and who is this Replicant holding your Pupa?

Replicant Sonya: Oh, I'm not a replicant. I'm a human who turned into a replicant. I'm Sonya, by the way.

Janiz: Wait? What?!

Korvo: Oh don’t worry. That’s actually your human niece and our daughter, Sonya. We adopted her.

Janiz gasps.

Janiz: As in… I’m an aunt?! Again?! *hugs Replicant Sonya, who giggles* Oh my God! I can’t believe I got a brother-in-law, a niece, human niece and a baby nephew! *notices the other Shlorpians* Wait, who are these other Shlorpians?

Shlorpian Cooke: We were humans too. *laughs nervously*

Janiz: What?! You guys were once humans?! What happened?!

Shlorpian Cooke: Some crazy woman stole samples of your brother and your family’s blood DNA and created a powerful mist that turned us into Shlorpians!

Janiz gasps

Shlorpian Phoebe: Oh and hey. I’m your family’s nanny Phoebe. I was human once too.

Janiz: Oh no. I am so sorry.

Shlorpian Phoebe: It's okay.

Shlorpian Frankie: We don’t even know who that woman is but luckily Korvo is finding a way to turn us back, which is very hard because that woman took all of his testings. So we have to live here now until we can be humans again.

Shlorpian Randall: We can’t even go back to Earth. The rest of the humans hates us now.

Janiz sighs

Janiz: Well as long as I am here, mind if EVA and I live with you guys?

Korvo smiles tearfully and hugs Janiz

Korvo: *crying with happiness* Of course you can. Welcome home Janiz.

Janiz smiles

Janiz: Thank you lil bro…

Later, Korvo and Terry are in bed. Korvo is reading Vogue.

Korvo: Very interesting story.

Korvo suddenly goes into labor

Korvo: *breathing in and out* Whoa. I think my water just broke.

Terry: What?! Shit! JANIZ! KIDS! GET IN HERE! HURRY!

Janiz and the kids came in.

Janiz: Korvo! What’s wrong?!

Korvo: JANIZ! KIDS! THE BABY’S COMING!

Terry: Korvo's in labor!

Janiz and the kids gasp.

Janiz: Don’t worry little bro! I’m here!

Korvo starts crying out in pain

Korvo: *breathing in and out as he started pushing* Oh god! Oh god! *cries out in pain*

Jesse: Come on, Korvo! Push!

Korvo: *grunting as he keeps pushing*

Yumyulack: Do it! You got this!

Korvo snaps

Korvo: OH GOOOOOOOD! *almost there* FUUUCK! IT HURRRTTTSSS! AAAAAAAAH!

Janiz: I see the head!

Korvo: *about to finish pushing* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

Suddenly, a baby crying is heard

Korvo: *gasp as tears fall form his eyes* Is that… our baby?

Janiz picks up the baby who is still crying

Janiz: Congratulations, it’s a beautiful girl!

Korvo laughs with tears in his eyes

Korvo: *reaching out for the baby* Oh, come to daddy!

Janiz hands the baby to Korvo

Korvo: Hey there sweetie…

The baby stops crying when she sees Korvo

Terry: Aw Korvy, she’s looking at you…

Korvo: She’s like a beautiful flowery sprouted with hope… I think we should name her Lili.

Terry: *sniffles* I love it.

Lili: *babbling as he touches Terry’s face*

Terry laughs

Terry: Welcome to the world Lili Solar-Opposites…

Korvo: *tears of joy* Oh Terry! I'm so happy!

Terry: *tears of joy* So am I.

The two alien husbands kiss while moaning

Yumyulack, Jesse, Pupa and Sonya: *falling in love with their new baby sister* Aaaw…

The next morning, Korvo and Terry are sleeping with Lili sleeping between them

Lili: *cooing while sleeping*

Terry wakes up and yawns. He looks at Korvo and Lili sleeping and smiles.

Terry: Good morning…

Korvo: Mmm… good morning darling.

Korvo kisses Terry on the cheek

Lili: *coos*

Terry: Hey, Lili. *kisses Lili on the forehead*

Lili: *giggling*

Korvo: Ready to start the day?

Terry: *picks up Lili* Hell yeah I am!

Korvo and Terry kiss on the lips and head out. Terry then hands Lili over to Korvo as he smiles while Korvo starts chatting with the kids. But then, an orange colored flashback vision appears with monster sounds.

Terry: *terrified by the vision* Wh-wha?!

The monster is then seen hanging while baby Jesse is seen crying.

Terry: *breathing in and out as he suddenly sees the Mundane*

Terry screams as the vision stops. Korvo gasps and runs to his husband's side.

Korvo: Terry? It’s okay! I’m here *calms down Terry with a hug as Terry smiles and calms down* You poor thing. You must be facing a termoil. It’s okay… I’m here…

Terry: You're warm.

Korvo: Of course I am. Don’t worry Terry, there’s nothing to be scared of. Whatever comes, we’ll get through it. Together.

Terry: Thanks Korvy…

The two alien husbands kiss. Then, Korvo heads to the kids, who are playing with Lili. Terry then starts to grow nervous.

Terry: *to himself* What's wrong with me?

THE END?

The Rose in Alchemy

The cross stands wound densely round with roses.

Who has put roses on the cross?... And from the middle springs a holy life Of threefold rays from a single point. — Goethe, Die Geheimnisse (1784-1786)

In alchemy, the white and the red rose are well-known symbols for the lunar and the solar tincture, from which the "precious rose-coloured blood" of Christ-Lapis flows. And the Shehina, the brilliance of celestial wisdom on earth, is understood in the image of the rose, and "the collection of honey" stands for the common inheritance of theosophical knowledge. “Thus the whole parable of the Song of Solomon finally refers to the object of our rose-cross: 'I am the rose of Sharon and the lily of the field'”. As regards "the correct procedure for attaining the rose-red blood of the cross that is poured (as quintessence) in the centre of the cross", Fludd used the image of wisdom: the work of the architect as a labourer of God on the building of the temple. — R. Fludd, Summum Bonum, Frankfurt, 1629

Symbolism of the Rose

A highly complex symbol; it is ambivalent as both heavenly perfection and earthly passion; the flower is both Time and Eternity, life and death, fertility and virginity. In the Occident, the rose and lily occupy the position of the lotus in the Orient. In the symbolism of the heart, the rose occupies the central point of the cross, the point of unity. The red and white rose together represent the union of fire and water, the union of opposite. In Alchemy, the rose is wisdom and the rosarium the Work; it is also the rebirth of the spiritual after the death of the temporal. In Hebrew Qabalism, the center of the rose is the sun and the petals the infinite, but harmonious, diversities of Nature. The rose emanates from the Tree of Life. In Hinduism, the lotus parallels the symbolism of the Mystic Rose as a spiritual center, especially in the chakras. For Rosicrucians, the Rose-cross is the Mystic Rose as wheel and cross; the rose is the divine light of the universe and the cross the temporal world of pain and sacrifice. The rose grows on the Tree of Life which implies regeneration and resurrection. The rose in the center of the cross is the quaternary of the elements and the point of unity.

In the Grail legend, the invocations addressed to the divine heart of Jesus contain the feminine element. It is extolled as "the temple in which dwells the life of the world," as a rose, a cup, a treasure, a spring, as the furnace of divine love "ever glowing in the fire of the Holy Ghost", as a censer and as a bridal chamber. Jesus receives the souls of the dying into his heart which "burns glowingly", "as red gold burns and melts in the fire", and the soul dissolves therein, "as water mixes with wine". All of these symbols are feminine and are therefore very closely connected with the motifs of the Grail legend and of alchemical symbolism. --Emma Jung & Marie-Louise von Franz, The Grail Legend (1986), p. 100

Listen up this is stuff I AM SURE happened  during Harry’s elementary school era.

SO, Moony and Padfoot take Harry to a muggle elementary school, because it’s what Lily wanted since she was pregnant. And it goes like:

“What do you mean he can’t wear robes?” “It’s a... MUGGLE school, Pads” “but he looks...so.... blaaah, plus I spent a lot of money on these”

“WE have to prep his lunch....?? Wh---..? These muggles I swear”

“Dadfoot, Ms. Smith said I need to get pencils and crayons, not quills” “EXCUSE YOU?”

First day of  school ever, when asked what he wants to be when he gets older, Harry says “I want to be a deer” Needless to say, everyone is confused. Sirius is crying in the back and Moony is trying to play it cool while he tries to open a chocolate bar.

“Mr. Lupin, I am afraid we had to send Harry to detention.” “And why is that?” “He didn’t hand his math hwk and when questioned about it, he said, and I quote ‘My dad Sirius says I don’t have to do it, I am the chosen one.”

“Kids in my class made fun of my scar....” “I’ll hex them” “Sit. Down. Sirius”

“So, where’s your dog?” “Sorry?” “Oh, you know, the one that Harry always draws next to you....” “Oh, that dog, he’s from the streets, he follows us sometimes.”

At first Harry would always turn to Sirius to ask him about his homework, when he started failing, he learnt to ask Moony first.

Harry’s teacher always gets chocolates instead of apples.

Both Moony and Harry get a bit embarrassed when Pads gets over excited at the science fairs.

Harry trying for soccer, he always scores a goal, everyone thinks his a natural, but he knows Sirius used a confundus charm on the opposite team. 

Moony is ALWAYS in charge of handing water cups to the kids during the breaks and after the match he will give them chocolate, all the moms have a crush on him, even if he tells them he is happily married to the loud dad over there.

“So what you are saying is, that you wont transform that frog into a wine glass, but instead, you are going to open it up?” “Yes” Both “Interesting”

“Guess who got excellent seats for the quidditch match this afternoon?” “WOW THANKS SIRIUS” “We are not going” “I don’t think I understood what you just said.” “He has a biology test tomorrow, and he can’t fail it.” “Oh, why bother? Just a couple more years and he can forget about that!”

“Honestly Harry, you are not a little kid anymore! You need to be responsible to get what you need for your homework on time! How could you forget till 10pm you needed to bring a cardboard tomorrow?! Now my precious Moony has to go out this late to fetch it while you and I finish this movie.”

Harry’s solar system is badazzled and some kids SWEAR the stars are actually moving. “It’s just a 3D effect, kid.”

Harry not wanting to dress up as Merlin for Halloween, he wants to be Darth Vader because his “wand” is cooler. Sirius is deeply offended.

Moony gets more offended than Sirius when Harry asks him to go as Chewbacca.

Sirius gets more excited about it when he tries Princess Leia’s hairstyle.

Harry being very confused when kids in his class make fun of the fact that for Christmas, Harry got a broom. “Muggles” he says under his breath. He again is sent to detention.

When asked to write an assay about his favorite animal, Harry writes about a Pheonix, he gets an A+ because he is SO CREATIVE

Sirius attends to EVERY SINGLE ONE mother’s day event. The other moms are always prepared with extra tissues for him.

“So, how many dads do you actually have?” “three”

Moony and Pads grounding Harry for the pranks he pulls at school. Laughing about it when they lay in bed at night. “Can’t believe he actually did that” “He sure is James’ son”

Harry writes the date on his notebook, he looks out the classroom window “the full moon is coming” 

All the other kids making sounds of frustration because he always sounds SO dramatic when he says that.

All the kids loose their shit when Harry reveals Santa’s secret, the flo network.

I could go on....

Feels like Helios and Selene rarely show up in Greek mythology themed media - doubtlessly because they’re overshadowed as a lunar/solar twin pair by Artemis and Apollo - but tbh I like them more; and since Helios is significant in Homeric Hymn to Demeter aka the “Demeter’s bff Hecate” hymn while Selene was confused or grouped with Hecate in Roman poetry, I wanted to use both in my Hecate story. I decided it'll be funny if Helios has a weird head but a normal body but Selene was the opposite, normal head but her body is a chunk of the starry sky inside a cloak. Helios is based on the Minoan fresco “Prince of lilies,” Selene - on a painting I really like aesthetically but not... ideologically, I guess
