I wanted to do a pacifist run for Hogwarts Legacy on my first play of the game and that is so obviously not what the game intended that any time I fought anyone it was like that one scene from Free Guy

Me: he’s just resting

MC: in pieces! That man is dead!

Me: he’s so sleepy

Taylor Swift has the Infinity Stones - My theory

Note: this theory just came to me and I felt the need to share it.

So, I've been seeing stuff about Taylor Swift nearly defeating Thanos but she had all the Infinity Stones before Infinity War even happened.

This theory is separated in two parts.

Part one: Album Colors make the stones.

Debut album is green = Time Stone

Fearless album is yellow = Mind Stone

Speak Now album is purple = Power Stone

Red album is well, red = Reality Stone

1989 album is blue = Space Stone

Which leaves her Reputation album to be the Soul Stone.

Now part one is simply the color schemes however part two is about the music.

Part two: What the albums truly represent(according to me).

Note: this part of the theory is about the stolen records as the vault tracks in her re-recordings could change the analysis. Also, not all of the re-recordings are out yet.

Debut album = Space Stone

The debut album is the actually the space stone due to the naivety in most of the songs. It goes to show that she still has a lot learn and there's plenty of space for her to do that.

Fearless album = Power Stone

This should be obvious as this is her most powerful album. It reached #1 in country records and is still highly praised and talked about. Not to mention almost all the songs are either empowering or just powerhouse songs.

Speak Now album = Time Stone

Maybe this one's simply on me but this is her most nostalgic album. Listening to most of the songs can make you feel like you went back in time. In fact, her song Back to December mentions that she wishes she could go back in time.

Red album = Soul Stone

This might be surprising to some but this album is really revealing in terms of lyrics. Several of the songs on the album are emotional and can help you understand where she's coming from. It just feels like this album is the most soul-baring to me.

1989 album = Mind Stone

Probably another shocker but quite a few of these songs have something to do with the mind. Whether the songs are about reminiscing or they're about dreams/scenarios, this album relates more about being in one's head than anywhere else.

Reputation album = Reality Stone

And lastly, I feel this one should also be a little obvious. Her Rep album is the most realistic as it has less to do with fantasies and more to do with the hard truths of both the media and people she called friends. It's literally her 'everyone sucks except my boo(with a shout-out to my mom and probably fans)' album. The album cover itself is split in half with one side having the media plastered on it and the other side being clean. And that's the reality, she's split in half because the media's never going to stop seeing her one way even when she always expresses the opposite. At least, that's how I see it.

Ditko's legacy

a really interesting thing i noticed about steve ditko is that not only he was a prolific creator of iconic comic book characters. but the pattern that his characters follow to fame is particularly odd and it tends to repeat itself.

let's start with the most iconic of all, mist aracnid human himself

an interesting thing is that ditko only drew spiderman until issue 38, afterwards the art was taken over by john romita sr.

in many ways romita's version of spiderman is the definitive interpretation. whereas under ditko peter was actually kind of an immature, prepotent jerk, under romita he became a lot softer and classically heroic. romita is also the guy who designed mary jane watson, it was under his tenure that the green goblin's identity as norman osborn was revealed. in many ways john romita's work was was finally turned spiderman into marvel's mascot.

so neat, right, what else did steve ditko do. well, he created another iconic character for marvel. a very Strange Doctor indeed

for this guy i dont have as much history but i think it would be fair that he was relatively an obscure character, someone you were not familiar with unless you were really into superhero comics... until 2016

when he was interpreted by superstar tumblr sexyman extraordinaire benedicto cumberbacho. thanks to that and his role in the avenger's endgame movie now the guy is a bit of an icon and a respectable IP on his own right.

but we can go even more obscure than that, let's check another character created by ditko, a character so obscure that is literally incognito

created in 1967 by ditko for a now defunct company called charlston comics. his original appearance was actually incredibly short lived. so much so that he was cancelled that very same year he was created.

but then, in 1987, dennis O'neil decided that he was interested in that character and so we got

in here the character was radically changed from a staunch objectivist into more of a zen buddhist philosopher. in many ways o'neils run is the best run the question ever had and the version that tends to be the heavier inspiration for all other subsequent adaptations.

but actually how about we go even more obscure than that, how about we go to a shady guy driven to madness...

once again, ditko made, in 1977 for DC, a strange man from another dimension whom, with the help of his stolen M-vest he could transform into a huge difigured version of himself. as ditko was wont to do, his stories were very surrealistic and psychodelic. as is often the case his work was cancelled after only 8 issues. forgotten by time until, courtesy of the british invasions of the 80's/90's on the comic scene, we got

a story that became far more explicitly political, a crude, surrealist examination of the american culture, touching on topics such as alcholism, the hippie movement, gender theory and abortion. an absolute masterpiece if you want my opinion and probably one of the best comics ever made. once again all other successive adaptation we got of the character tend to borrow a lot more from this version than from the original.

ok one final stop in this ride of ditko creations. who else is left you may wonder, is there something this guy has not created? well, you see ditko could be a heady philosophical creator but he was not above being a little silly from time to time, and that is how he ended up coming up with

yes you heard that right, squirell girl!

ok to be fair, this one was not created by ditko, he was just the artist. the actual creator is will murray, but bear with me here.

created for a superhero special in 1991 as a fun jokey character, she was never really meant to have her own book or series or anything like that.

after being introduced she kept appearing her and there and with every new appearence the gag that she could beat any character started to get built up more and more, beating dr doom, thanos, eternity and god knows who else until finally, in 2014, she actually got her own run written by none other than the creator of dinosaur comic Ryan North

not going to lie, i personally always thought the art was really bad, but it became a fairly popular book, getting high praise from most critics and even winning an eisner award in 2017

conclussion

i think it's absolutely fascinating that ditko has this pattern of creating incredibly iconic characters who become popular and known by a later adaptation by another artist who takes the character on a whole new direction. he seems to be really good a seeding ideas and establishng concepts but there are fertile grounds in the hands of other artists.

if there is one character that has survived this process is his strong, stalwart, objectivist hero who thinks in incredibly rigid, unbreakable rules about good and evil, up and down, black or white.

mr A

and why is that? well, its very simple, the ancient greek philosophers already established this millenia ago. everythng that exsts has a specific nature, each entity exists as something in particular and has characteristics and has characteristics of what it is.

A is A.
