Witch In Beacon Hills [Closed]

@faeryworlds

Raven was sitting in science class, the least favorite of her subjects. She was in pleasant company, though, as Scott was sitting in front of her with that goofball, Stiles. Then there was Allison, Scott's former girlfriend, which wasn't sure about that. The teacher was boring, and she noticed Stiles constantly watching her to the point where she flicked her hand and caused the book he was leaning on to fall off the table with a loud slam, making the class go quiet. She silently laughed but then caught Allison's eye, and she had that accusatory look on it. Raven ignored it, hopefully she could write this off, after all Stiles wasn't the only one suspicious about her.

"I'm not afraid to throw a few punches; you can thank my father for that; he taught me how to not be some defenseless girl who needs a man to protect her; I can throw down with the best of them, especially over my friends," Raven stated.

Raven smiled. "I figured you'd say that, so I'm all for the cuddles better than sitting at home hugging my pillow, listening to that mix CD he made me when we first started dating, and trying to figure out when our relationship went downhill."

She shook her head. "No, I have other ways of getting him back that don't involve property damage and spending a night in jail."

“Awe, you’re so protective over me! I’m very lucky to have you,” Fred chirped back, her smile ever-present. They weren’t an aggressive person by nature, but they could appreciate the sentiment behind Raven’s words - if it ever came to that, there’s no one else Fred would want on her side.

“There probably isn’t but I’m going to snuggle the shit out of you anyway.” True to her word, Fred shifted closer to Raven on the couch and wrapped their arms around her. “I don’t think it’s bad at all, it sounds human to me. He did a heinous thing to you but you can’t just switch your feelings off and stop loving him overnight, as much as you might want to. It’s going to take some time and I’m sorry for using a cliche, but it will get better… Do you wanna egg his house or something?”

@thechosengryffindor Liked For A Hogwarts Starter Feat. Raven

Raven had slipped her wand back into her bag after casting a spell to undo whatever Harry had attempted to do. "I get the whole wanting to be festive and everything, but could you try not turning our common room into a jungle before Christmas," Raven said as she tried to not laugh at Harry's misfortune. Not that she was staying at school for the holidays, but she at least wanted the next two weeks to be massively uneventful until she left, then everyone could cause as much mayhem while she was gone.

For anyone who wants to familiarise with Rie Kugimiya’s range as a voice actor, I’d like to promote another fave of mine (I’d probably won’t shut up about this series), “Yatagarasu: The Raven Does Not Choose Its Master.” I learned to know about her here as the third princess of the North, Shiratama. That maniacal laughter. Yes, we can expect a fantastic performance from her next year.

Chikahiro Kobayashi is back again with Legoshi as Netflix unveiled the new season. Interesting though as of these two have a connection bc the Yatagarasu character designer Takumo Norita also worked on the final season of “Beastars.”

Small world.

"Look, like I said, I used a spell; it bought me here; it's just a coincidence that the spell popped me into your condo. Clearly, whatever I need you have in your possession or is nearby, I don't have a Google Maps for this thing." Raven explained. When he asked what world she was from, she sighed. "How much about the multiverse do you know? You know different realities, Earths existing in a grand space but cut off from each other and the only way to travel among them is by magic or divine power. I'm from a different Earth; don't ask me because I don't know much about it, only that it exists."

“That all may be true but you have broken into my condo,” Magnus pointed out as he watched the woman. He wasn’t going to jump in to help like he wanted because he didn’t know if she was telling the truth. He also didn’t like being surprised by uninvited guests. “And what world is yours?”

@roguexpogue [Continued]

"Not really a surprise; I just knew your dumb ass was going to do something stupid sooner or later and get your card punched," Raven said as she rolled her eyes. "Guess it's up to me to undo this unless you enjoy being Casper, the friendly ghost."

[darkspellmaster]

I have some fun thoughts about Sieglinde Sullivan in Noble Bell College I wanna share with you!

This is all hypothetical since I don’t know if it will happen in your fic, but I just think with Ciel in NRC and Lizzy in RSA, it’d be fun if the other character who’s around their age also got dropped in a magic school in twst lol. Besides, I think Sullivan and Rollo have fun contrasts, what with their opposite views on magic (both had bad experiences with magic, but Rollo ends up hating it and viewing it as a sin, while Sullivan still practices ‘magic’ (science) to help people. Plus, let Rollo get a surrogate younger sibling.

Their dynamic is kinda like Frollo and Quasimodo in the caretaker - care receiver sense, with Rollo is more misguided than actually malevolent.

Sullivan would be like an annoying little sister to Rollo. He admires her intelligence and thirst for knowledge, especially at such a young age. But she has a voracious appetites, she whines childishly about him being so uptight, and worst of all, she has such interests in… provocative activity. Who in their right mind let a child know of such things?! Rollo fumes, covering his mouth with his handkerchief, shaking with indignation all the while. He is prepared to burn someone down for ‘poisoning her young mind’ (he’s more like a mom to her than her own mother)

On her part, Sullivan doesn’t have the best impression of Rollo either. It feels like he’s constricting her, something that she experienced all her life as the ‘Emerald Witch’. I think it’d be awhile until she starts to notice that he isn’t so mean, as he keeps looking out for her even when there’re other students, and he is nicer to her than to others (since she’s an orphaned magicless child).

He’d complain about her, but he still keeps an eye on her. He’d say it’s his duties as the student president, but it’s also because of his older brother instinct.

He’d probably insist on her keeping contact with him via letters/ cards and is displeased when he knows about her going wide eyes wonder at technology/ phones. He clams that stuff rots her brain and does nothing but encourage an unhealthy lifestyle.

She’d nag him about carrying her up to the bell tower with him while he tells her no all the time because he wants to be alone (and because he worries about her safety). He’d end up nearly having a heart attack when her newly built ’spider legs’ carry her on the tower.

Since Ciel has Grim, Lizzy has Perrie, I imagine Sullivan would have a bird-like creature as a familiar, as a reference to how Quasimodo helps a baby bird fly in one of the beginning scenes.

And that’s all I have for now.

Sounds like a fun story to read. Go for it and write to your hearts content.

"I will send you the recipe if you promise not to eat it all and save some for the rest." Raven chuckled as she placed everything down.

"I found this website with all kinds of recipes. I ordered their cookbook offline and can't wait to get it to try some of the stuff there."

leroy hummed softly as he dipped another chip into the dip. "well, it's delicious, raven. definitely going to need you to send that recipe my way." the vampire chuckled at her joke, shaking his head. "i don't know if i can help myself. might just steal it all for myself."

Mr Peterson's Funhouse Chase - Hello Neighbor Welcome to Raven Brooks x ...

[capricornsysmadd]

hello! this is @the-capricorn-system 's blog for our ocs and paracosm stuff! they/them, or individual headmates pronouns (ask if youre unsure!)

also sam is very much our go to name for self inserts and ocs lmao

list of our ocs under the cut!

original universe:

raphael: an angel with red hair and white wings. our pfp! also our main oc! same pronouns as me!

leaf: an avian with black hair and wings, and white eyes. her hair normally covers her eyes, so no one has seen them. is also in undertale purple. twins with tristan. she/her. girlfriends with amber

tristan: a cat hybrid with black hair and one red eye, one brown eye. normally covers his red eye with his hair in solidarity with leaf. is also in undertale purple. twins with leaf. he/him

amber: a selkie with dark blue eyes and white hair. she/they. girlfriends with leaf. also in undertale purple.

honourable mentions, or ocs that arent ours but are often used in tandem with ours:

raven: our brothers oc, go check him out at @cookie-block or @pizza-hut-official (hes more likely to answer asks on pizza hut tbh lol)

feather: a close friends oc! unfortunately he doesnt have tumblr, but if you guys are interested in his oc welll talk to him about maybe answering a few questions!

my hero academia:

yori: sams older sister and main carer. unfortunately i havent thought of a quirk for her. she/her.

sam: his quirk is shapeshifting, or rather mass movement. he can shapeshift into any animal smaller or the same size as him, or any person. however, he cant shift into people with mutations, ie, tsu. he/him. pre universe destroyed, hes a fairly chill kid who is in 1b. post universe destroyed, however...

ace attorney:

sam: he becomes a fairly angry person. he changes his hair colour to a bright blond, and starts studying to become a defence attorney. eventually, he finds the person who destroyed his universe and kills him. it/its.

the henry stickmin collection:

samael: the leader of angelia, a clan that tries to feed the poor and hungry. very kindly, and always tries to help those down on their luck, but wont hesitate to kill if hes been betrayed. has brown hair. he/him

fnaf:

were. not entirely sure how to explain our fnaf paracosm. its very much an alternate universe lol.

okay well give it a shot:

sam: got isekaid into the fnaf universe from our universe. he then gets picked up by henry emily, who gives him a place to stay. sam discovers that rather than william afton being the bad guy, amanda afton is the murderer. were not going to spoil too much actually bc were writing a fic for it, well link it here when we publish it!

tma:

sullivan: an avatar of the dark, he used to work at the magnus institute and is the only one of gertrudes assistants to survive. he wears sunglasses because hes essentially blind in the light, due to his eyes being reversed (not literally, i just dunno what word to use).

scp:

oh. ohohohphohphohohohoh!!! we have a lot of scp ocs (perks of being a fan for over two year now apparently)

technician moon: our oc for our siblings and ours fan site, site 47! its literally soulless, due to its mother being an anomaly which weirded out the hume levels around her, causing moon to be born with no soul and no emotions. they use they/it, and have a partner called micheal (pronounced my-KEE-al). nicknamed by our other ocs as techy. has white hair.

micheal: head researcher of site 47, specifically looks after the keter scps. also uses they/it pronouns. fairly relaxed, but wont hesitate to fight people if they feel the need.

masky: this ones a bit cringe but. so is everything. masky is a branch that technician moons universe can go down, where moon has a theory that what 035 gets rid of is their hosts soul, so it gives themself up to be a host for 035. luckily for moon, theyre right, which leads to a "two minds one body" sorta situation, where both moon and 035 (later nicknamed skip by moons friends, and "that bastard who lives on my face and doesnt even pay rent" by moon) have to live inside the same body. luckily, their personalities are different enough to know whos talking. their eyes will say whos in control, if their eyes are brown, its moon, if theyre purple, its skip, and if their right eye is purple and their left is brown, its both.

dass: our take on the main character of scp:cb, if he wasnt stuck in a timeloop hed be classified as an scp, due to the fact that he can save anywhere, and reload to that point in space and time if he dies, or, in the case of this specific time loop, if he finished the game. he also has two ghosts following him, michael and ana, both of whom used to be d-class, but died due to various experiments (ana died from scp 009, and is the body you see under the ice in game, michael died from a currently undecided scp). oh yeah, and he can see all the d-class that any specific person has gotten killed surrounding that person.

dash six: our o5 oc, most of the info for them is on our scpverse blog @the-real-o5-6, so go check us out there!

pyleos: they live in a universe where most scps dont exist, however, there are still two. and one of those scps is some kind of beast, who chases pyleos and his family out of their home. whilst running away from this beast, pyleos and his younger brother get seperated from the rest of their family, and end up in a government adjacent base. the government adjacent people threaten to hurt pyleos' little brother if he doesnt go throught this door (the other anomaly in that universe) that leads to the scp universe, so he goes through. he then spends a year there, and goes through wacky hijinks and shit.

currently unnamed: pretty much my only oc that interacts with canon characters. basically, an agent. has three partners, ana, thomas, and james, nicknamed timmy! works under clef. a system, the alters who tend to front are sam (host), agent (protector) and raphael. agent is also a sub-system.

solarballs:

leyan: an ex-planet from another solar system, called the twos system, because there were two stars, two planets, and two moons. leyan was a rocky planet, who orbited around a brown dwarf called erus. the other star was called cerb, and the other planet was a gas giant callled gali, and he orbited cerb. the two moons orbited leyan, the biggest one was called phonee, the smaller one was perseh. if you want to know what happened to them, ill happily talk about them on my other blog, @might-be-capricorn!

heavens official blessing:

mi quan (pronounced mee chan): a junior official, serves under mu qing. pretty much the most senior of them all, has been with mu qing for nearly 800 years old. also they used to be a ghost. theyre around 12000 years old, and have a brother. they/them. used to be a calamity.

mi xing: mi quans brother, also a junior official, he works under feng xin. the two of them dont get along at all. he/him

no name yet: mi quans partner, also a junior official under mu qing, also a ghost. the two of them were childhood friends. they/them

☆~○~♡~○~☆

uhhh thats all i can think of for now- if you want more information about any of them lmk!

"Thanks, definitely need this," Raven said as she closed her eyes at the kiss and then took a sip of the coffee before placing it aside. "This test is crucial, and I need to pass it if I want to move over to the next section of this class; the professor will only continue with students who pass this test. If I fail, I get kicked out of the class, stupid if you ask me, but I get it, she doesn't want her time wasted on those she feels aren't grasping the subject," Raven said as she marked her page and closed the book needing a break after studying for three straight hours. "So, what's up with you?"

[redemptivexheroics]

"No disrespect to your live-to-fight, another day tactic, but I'm not someone who runs; I've run my whole life; I'll be damned if I let some overgrown mutt with bad breath scare me. You haven't seen what I'm capable of yet." Raven pouted. "Do you know there's a spell that can completely remove the werewolf curse? I don't know it, but if I can get my hands on it, I can knock that brute off his high horse."

he was about to speak when she teleported them out of there without a warning. the teleporting still had him shaken up in the slightest and inhaled deeply, shaking his head slowly soon afterward. ❝ yes, i do know witch trumps werewolf, but a werewolf recruiting a witch into their pack is rare. plus, we need to know when to fight and when to leave it alone. this is one of those times where we leave it alone. ❞

Kurotsuno + Sullivan + Kcalb [thesis + general observation]

I know there have been a lot of speculations before about how the three of them could possibly be related to one another, but I was thinking about this while washing the dishes and it wouldn’t leave my head until I gave it my own two cents & wrote this all down. I’ll probably come back to this post in… five or six years when we finally get a TGG prequel/any Obsolete Dream chapters past the 9th, so I can check case by case how spot-on this was or how many mistakes I made.

This is mostly just for fun, so read this with an open mind, and pardon me for any potential inaccuracies - if that’s the case, then I implore people to point them out so I can… try and fix any inconsistencies there might be.

This is partially a theory post, partially a headcanon post, because there are just too many big gaps in the events to make one, straight, linear timeline to tie everything - from cryptic hints to subtle signs - together from beginning to the end, so a lot of it is really just my charitable speculation.

(rest of it is under the cut, 'cus this is quite long, trust me~)

So, Sullivan has some obvious relation to Kcalb, as they do share noticeable physical similarities (eyes/black sclera + horns), though it is unclear if Kcalb is a blood-related parent to Sullivan (because then, y’know, who is the other parent?), if they are very distant blood-relatives, or if Sullivan is just one of his creations - much like how Ivlis created Vendetto/Poemi from his flames - though I’m not certain how far his capabilities in terms of creation go, because of this line Kcalb says at some point in The Gray Garden.

‘Repair’ is kind of a subsection of ‘creation’. Either way, Kcalb clearly has more than enough loyal subordinates, so how did Sullivan even come to be?

"His upbringing was way too complicated." is one of the sentences used in this specific art to describe Sullivan, so that's enough of a hint already that he isn’t that 'ordinary' in the slightest.

If he was created by Kcalb or born from someone else, the devil would, either way, have required the involvement of another individual (’Raven’? AKA The mysterious figure speaking to him on the train in the ‘bonus room’ video? The red-eyed figure “Fate” who appears in Etihw’s memories of the past in the ‘Normal End’?) in order to do so in the first place. If we assume Kcalb even knew of his existence or was with him at any point, then Kcalb would have used Sullivan for his own gain; a kind of a host or placeholder body if his powers were to be diminished or taken from him, his fundamental connection to Sullivan would allow him to ‘borrow’ his powers back, or someone to lead the war if he would be gone.

Whether or not Sullivan actually possesses the same abilities as Kcalb is unclear, though similarly to Kurotsuno, he is seen with the exact same asymmetrical symbols (the same ones visible when Kcalb renders Ivlis powerless) in some artworks.

Addressing one of the many elephants in the room first and foremost; I don’t believe Elena is Sullivan’s mother or has anything to do with him at all, for that matter, considering she is Zigzag’s sister and doesn’t really seem like a special being - meaning she doesn’t stand out from any of the other demons from the Pitch Black World/Ne-No-Kuni in her art LOGs. She hasn’t been hinted in any way to have possible connections to the Gray World either. The physical similarities (blond hair, black/green retina) are likely just re-used design choices. A very ironic statement considering I used this exact argument with the aforementioned Kcalb/Sullivan’s relation to one another, but their relationship actually has more than just one subtle similarity connecting to one another.

The reason Sullivan might look sickly in a lot of his artwork is because he doesn’t handle these devil-given powers well mentally or physically, since they were thrust onto him forcibly and he has been described as ‘weak’ by many of the characters.

He might be Kcalb's descendant, but he clearly isn't as powerful as the devil is, with his poor physical health and all. Whatever Kcalb’s plans with him might’ve be, it ended up fruitless (for now). Kcalb was quite terrible during the war era, so he probably didn’t treat Sullivan very well. At some point, Sullivan might have been whisked away by someone (possibly ‘Raven’ from the ‘bonus room’ video), or he himself escaped the Gray World to go and live in Neo-No-Kuni.

He’s seen wearing a gyakuan and has been classmates with Gyakuten since their school years, so his departure/upbringing already happened over there when he was quite young. [1]

In the distant future, he meets his wife to-be at some point and they get married, but she dies due to unknown causes [2] when Olivia is at a young age, so Sullivan is left to raise her by himself.

I am, personally, a big fan of the “Olie is Kurotsuno’s mother” theory for many reasons which are stated below. They do indeed have some notable similarities, which have already been brought up before by some other people, such as:

• Similar hair + eye color

• Similar sounding names (+ Olie's last name used to be Kurokuro)

• Olie has been seen interacting with Reina, meaning she’s in the Obsolete Dream universe

• Kurotsuno’s mother was stated to be dead, and Olie correspondingly has strong ties with death/mourning

• Olivia is clearly stated to be human (or at least, partially [3]), so she would need a human parent, and Olie looks quite human enough

• Olie used to be listed in the ‘dead’ category in the funamusea(.)com/characters/ page, not with the youkai (Reina & Jianshi) she has been seen with thus far, despite the fact Olihana is also based off of a youkai. Before DSP changed the layout of the character page on the official website, Olie was actually placed within the ‘undead’ category, which supported the theory of her being dead--

[Image retrieved from the internet archives!]

--but now she’s been put into the ‘youkai’ category (which is visible on the new design of the website), so I don’t know if it’s a retconned idea DSP previously had, or if it’s to hide Olie’s true identity for now, but we also don’t have a lot of information about the youkai characters to begin with, where they reside, where does the youkai world connect with Neo-No-Kuni, or what their role is in the overarching story.

[1] if Sullivan has been in Neo-no-Kuni since his school years, then there is a distinct probability Kcalb has never even met Sullivan face-to-face, and Sullivan may have been raised by someone else from birth/creation.

[2] alternate possibility is, she might not have died and is currently residing in the youkai realm as Olihana?

[3] Olivia might not even be fully human, considering her father is a demon, so there’s that chance she might be a cambion (half-human/demon hybrid, which originates from as far back as 19th century European mythology).

There is very little known about who Olie is, but she is an interesting character and there seems to be more to her than meets the eye, judging from some of the deleted official artwork of her. I want to look at them a little bit further, see if there’s anything interesting to be found.

Oh, hey, would you look at that! Olivia & Olie together in the same pic! The kanji above them is just their names. (Kurotsuno, Kurokawa, and Olie’s old surname - Kurokuro)

Translation: “The grief of the deceased does not reach.”

Is the “deceased” in question alluding to herself, or someone else?

The most interesting picture of her so far, if not the most cryptic and somewhat confusing. It’s worth at least mentioning them; do these objects in the image hint at her character, or backstory - or are they just meant to be decorative? It has a clock stopped at 3:00, a painting, unknown letters scattered about, and a gramophone with many different items (flowers, masks, a radio) inside of it.

The closest visually similar flowers like the ones in the art I was able to find is the Morning Glory.

It has a lot of different allegorical meanings, depending on its color. A blue Morning Glory, in particular, usually alludes to feelings of trust and/or respect - which might be a connection she shares with her other self, Olihana.

Buried in the flowers are two masks. One is the Hannya mask ( 般若 ) which is usually worn by Olihana in artworks, a mask representing a female character drawn to madness by jealousy/resentment. The other one closely resembles either the Wakaonna mask or Ko-omote mask ( 能面 小面 ), which is mostly worn by young girls, and meant to convey the idea of innocent beauty. The latter mask could in theory belong to Olie.

Any connection I could find with the painting in the background is the fact it is a little reminiscent of Mori Ippô’s 1871 painting, “White Fox”. It might just be there in DSP’s art for aesthetic purposes though, so I’ll leave it at that.

And now, onto the timeline.

((A lot of text below is heavily headcanon/speculation based, while trying to stay true to currently known canon information as much as possible.))

Olivia and Sullivan have a big fight at some point, which ends with Sullivan losing his temper and possibly locking up Olivia into her room. She would have either snuck out, or Hanten would have shown up at Rapunzel’s Olivia’s window and helped her out of there. This is Sullivan and Olivia’s last meeting for a very long time.

When she meets up with Hanten and tells her what had happened, the latter would definitely know of the ‘reason’ behind her ‘rebellious streak’ - as the many characters in OD point out is prevalent in her behavior.

Hanten even makes a remark about Sullivan in chapter 4.

The implication seems almost emphasized here; the second panel is zoomed in closely to Hanten, and she's posing somewhat of a rhetorical question with the "Right, Kurotsuno?" as if the latter would know about this first hand. Kurotsuno is seen being physically violent with Sullivan or verbally degrading him in nearly all of their artworks together, yet not once have we seen him losing his temper with her for her behavior, so he might feel some guilt over his past actions and keeps his temper under control, as sort of a vow because he knows what happened last time he didn’t listen to her.

Olivia might have chosen to run away from home altogether, and Hanten might or might not have gone with her, but I won’t mention her too much in this post for the time being.

Either someone takes her back to the Gray World, or she goes there on her own.

She meets Kcalb at some point and the two of them develop something of a friendly bond. Kcalb likely didn’t know about Oliva being Sullivan’s daughter since she’s a human and looks quite a bit like her mother, bearing almost no similarities to her father.

At some point, a bigger war breaks out and Kcalb has to leave, so he doesn’t see Olivia for quite some time.

It’s during this time when ‘Raven’/’Train Guy’/’Fate’ from Etihw’s memories swoops in and finds Kcalb to tell him about Olivia’s relation to Sullivan, making the devil to a complete 180 and come to the conclusion of using her for his own gain to turn the tides of ongoing war in his favor.

Both Kurotsuno and Kcalb have a connection to the moon [1], so it’s during the full moon when he goes back to Olivia after a long time of not seeing her, she’s likely excited to meet him again, except Kcalb will only use her for his own benefit, with Olivia possessing Sullivan’s blood, and to that extend, also Kcalb’s.

Etihw drained Kcalb of his powers, but he can use Olivia to activate them, but since Olivia’s powers are essentially useless/non-existent as a human, Kcalb turns her into a demon, which was (as canon seems to allude to this) a very painful, agonizing process.

Hanten might have found Olivia and gone into a state of grief to find and think her to be dead, only for the latter to finally wake up. When she does, all of her memories are gone and she doesn’t remember any of her time spent in the Gray World, or whom Kcalb even is, or why is she laying in a barren wasteland.

Except for the argument and how he locked her up �� then it’s everything else in between is a blackout in her memory – up until the point when the agonizing pain Kcalb put her through begins to take form.

Because of their outward physical similarities, she concludes it was Sullivan who had hurt her in such a painful way.

Oliva decides her name is no longer ‘Olivia’ but Kurotsuno, which is a name she chose to give herself, because of the asymmetrical, mismatched horn on her right side of the head. She wants to cut ties with the past and what had happened, hence the new name.

It’s likely Hanten did not go through the same transformation Oliva did at that exact time, and became a lookalike with Anten at a later point, hence this image here.

Hanten’s arm is cut off and it’s transforming into the black one she has currently, instead of the normal, beige colored one with red nails she did before. Also, not to mention, the horns are also becoming different - as such; both Kuro & Hanten’s transformation took place at different times and different places, Hanten’s not until much later on.

Haten & Olivia both had their memories erased, hence why Hanten has no bitter memories of their time, whereas Olivia (now Kurotsuno) does, considering Hanten doesn’t take Kurotsuno’s hatred of Sullivan seriously and refers to it as “rebellious phase” much like the other characters, such as Maekami. Otherwise she would actually know the real reason why Kurotsuno is in her demon-equivalent of a ‘rebel phase’ and moody all the time?

Sullivan probably went looking for Olivia at some point during when all that took place but couldn’t locate her since he had no idea where to look, that’s why there’s a note in Mogeko Castle and his reasons for being there in the first place.

[1] Olivia’s transformation might have happened during the full moon. That’s why Met says this, because that’s when her memories of that time become more vivid.

Kcalb has a conversation about the distant past with Yosafire when they’re looking at the moon, in one of the bonus room videos. Here’s a transcript of it:

Kcalb: “There are some people I’d like to meet again. The first would be difficult to meet now. As would the second. The third... I’ve never met face-to-face.”

Yosafire: “Why not?”

Kcalb: “I’m simply not worthy of meeting them.”

Yes, he could be talking about his former-now-dead subordinates, but surely he’s met all of them face-to-face. Surely. An alternate interpretation of this speech is the possibility of the first mentioned person being Sullivan, and the second one being Kurotsuno/Olivia. I don’t really know whom the third person might be. Place your bets in my askbox now! The winner gets… nothing, except crippling, soul-crushing depression, sorry.

Also, you kinda need eagle eyes for this, but look at Sullivan holding that black/white diamond handkerchief in chapter 7.

Coincidence? I think N—

...actually, who knows. might just be a coincidence after all this thorough analysis after all.

Okay, now, THERE IS A LOOOTTTT MORE which I did not deep-dive into, such as Kcalb’s conversation with the unknown ‘Raven’ on the train, the ‘???’ bonus room video dialogue, “THE PAST” official artwork with the smiling guy with the knife and the bleeding-from-mouth Olivia, the flashback images that Ivlis shows to Yosafire, etc etc. Because this post is quite long already, I think I’m alright to leave it as it is.

Haha, If you made it this far…. wowie thanks for reading my new and improved thesis! <3

Martyn Green was one of D'Oyly Carte's best comic baritones, and his performances in Gilbert and Sullivan shows are wonderful. However, while his renditions of G&S numbers are not impossible to find, they're also not easy to get ahold of either. The YouTube video I've linked to is actually an almost hour-long collection of Martyn Green singing G&S songs, and the whole thing has only about 1.1K views. (I don't know if it's on Spotify as I don't have a Spotify account) I've sent a timestamped link, to where the song starts at 38:30. The Nightmare Song itself is an entertaining and impressive example of patter, which showcases the talent and diction of its performer.」

The timestamp works for me currently, but I can't promise it will after posting. If it doesn't in the embed, perhaps it will in the link above.

PaddleOut：　「paddleout (and raven underground's music in general) has just really really solid guitar work. i happened upon this artist a couple years back? i don't remember exactly how, i think it was a chance spotify recommendation of something off of The War for Bohemia album. I ended up liking the Pangolin Bloodbath album more, though. anyway i fell in love with PaddleOut. the main riff is so smooth and the slides on the notes are so masterful. what's awesome is the riff shows up again in another song later on the album, UV Light. i love leitmotifs so bad... the vocalist has sort of an emo-ish lilt to their voice, but somehow it fits in really well with the overall indie rock/alt rock/mild grunge aesthetic of the instrumentals (i'm bad at genre identification don't @ me). PaddleOut has a really great full sound and i used to listen to it to fall asleep when taking naps. good ass song.

i know it has a bit more than the allotted streams/views but ive still not met another person who knows about Raven Underground unless i introduced it to them.」

(In case it's important to anyone, below is the only upload of the song on YouTube, which is unofficial and has <100 views. Their official YT has just under 900 subscribers. On Spotify, about 11K monthly listeners and 20K-ish for this song.)
