A concept:

Pre-Empyrea. The Young Wizard searches for a Skyway captain at the behest of the Arcanum and they track down old Coleridge in Polaris.

Instead of directing them to James T. Pork, he informs them that if they want someone really up for the adventure, they need a particular young captain known for their wits, their skill, and most legendary, their defiance of the vast Valencian Armada.

They need the Young Pirate.

Asheron and Fell both got a few tiny updates on their refs; Asher got a new banner and an element rune, and Fell got all new runes!

Thoughts on Aethyr, since you think he's a rogue PKJ might cover

Gerber is a widely overlooked Superman writer who was ahead of his time. What he was doing with the Phantom Zone should have stuck as the default for the PZ as a location rather than the boring “white space” version used. And Aethyr was such a cool concept.

Superman up against a Lovecraftian god, the one who rules the prison dimension he dumps his foes into, makes the Phantom Zone even more fucked up than it was before which I wholeheartedly endorse. Aethyr can’t be understood. Superman has faced his fair share of aliens, gods, and otherworldly beings, but most of them are like Darkseid and Mxy. For all their power they usually don’t come across as that removed from humanity. They’re foes that Superman can understand. Aethyr meanwhile is utterly alien, too alien for even Kal-El to wrap his mind around.

Aethyr can’t be negotiated or punched out. He’s not interested in games like Mxy. If he ever gets out of the Phantom Zone and reaches our world, we’re all screwed. Aethyr must be kept asleep, and the lengths Superman must go to ensure that happens should test his very sanity and morality.

The rise in popularity of quantum entanglement, manifestation, and whatever the 𝙛𝙪𝙘𝙠 CERN is doing has given rise to portal technology and portal magick. By FAR one of my favorite magick systems to practice for over 10 years now. I have only recently learned to hone this skill, and still have a long way to go since I’m still young. Maybe I am playing with fire and contributing to the world taking a rapid plunge deeper into obscurity as the years pass. I don’t mind the obscurity as long as there is peace.

I like the kind of peace that comes with the fear of Gods return. Of course, we live in a duality so that same fear causes people to make some decisions that a decent person would regret.

Increased charge in negative and positive energy. If that charge is steadily maintained “somehow” just think about it.

Now the body of people becomes an energetic battery. The positive and negative energy creates vortexes in highly populated areas like cities.

I’m trying to find a way this all relates to the Sephiroth and Qlipoth. I just KNOW it has something to do with turning body into battery. Like a conductor ⚡️

I don’t want to hurt myself thinking about what the people at the top of the pyramid are doing with this. I just want people to free their souls from being trapped in hell, from being trapped in the Qlipoth. I want to ʙʀᴇᴀᴋ their battery. 🪫

And for everyone to become their own conductor. 🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️

What would the human race really become then? What would our world really become? Look at how the portals we’ve opened is already causing veils to weaken that separate dimensions.

I’m just ranting. Escape the 22 tunnels of S̵̶̮̬͖̄͑͟et.

I've always found it cool that a lot of Marauder tribes don't even really worship one specific God, or even understand a lot of the details of the Four beyond how they impact their daily lives.

So like ofc it makes sense they'd look at a Daemon Prince and go "wtf" lmao

Yeah. Even those who worship the same god under different names side-eye each other, its interesting! Then again, this might mostly be a Khornate problem (Knowledge isn't exactly their thing)

But yeah, Tome of Corruption says some tribes worship two gods. Or even three? Imagine tribes that worship two rival gods lmao

Aethyr, goddess of the Phantom Zone

Lookin back at this thing I queued up at 1am in a half delirious state, I shuld probablyyyyy say this before someone tries to start smth hehe:

Be into whoever you wanna be into ! If u down bad for Falmea or Belladonna, live ur truth. U like dyvim and nobody else? U go girl (gender neutral). ❤️ My only objective with this post is to be silly AND hopefully encourage my fellow freaks to not be shy :]

I feel like we as the w101 community don’t get freaky enough with these characters. There are so many amazing ones to choose from and we sleepin on em cause we just default to the same three every time

Give me more of The Old One making out with his hundreds and hundreds of boyfriends. Shadow Palace Morganthe desperately needs some ship art. YW x Aethyr Titan when?? Billy Brute deserves so much love. Where my freaks at!!

"What exactly are halfas?" Constantine asks, cigarette lit and leaning against the table.

They were in the justice league, having attended a meeting previously and now just lazed around.

Batman loses focus on his laptop screen and openly looks at the two, interested.

Green Lantern, Hal, jerks up at the question, looking between everyone still in the room and trying (and failing) to seem uninterested.

Zatara is glaring daggers at Constantine's back, eyes narrowed.

While flash had no context, having just arrived back with his food to sit with the rest, he appropriately tenses as well, from just one glance around the room.

Superman and Wonder woman aren't different from batman, not as discreet as some are trying to be and just staring at the two.

Slightly amused, Danny decided to entertain the question.

"Unlike ghosts and the undead, halfas are created and not born." He explains, looking at the man when he writes it down.

Who knew the infinity realm were this closed off that John Constantine had to get information from the source itself just to keep updated?

"Care to elaborate?"

Clicking his tongue, he does so.

"Halfas get created during extreme circumstances, it has to be right place, right time and correct amount of ectoplasm." Danny catches the lollipop that Batman throws at him, sending the bat a quick smile.

"Not everyone can become a halfa, our race is a rarity amongst the dead."Constantine raises a brow, pursing his lips. "There are only 3 of you right? Is that a normal amount in the realms?"

Another click. "No, thousands of years ago, when our kind reached its peak of over hundreds of people, Pariah Dark happened."

He briefly shares a glance with Martian Manhunter, he wonders if anyone here sent out a message of phantom story time? Why were they all lounging around?

"It was genocide. He killed off an entire species just because he felt threatened." He shrugs.

Constantine jolts, eyes clear as if he'd just connected the dots.

"So his downfall wasn't only because of rights of conquest but— the reason no one joined nor fought between you and the old King was because it was a revenge kill."

Danny ponders the words over, nodding. Yeah that sounds right.

"Many aren't surprised that Pariah Dark went berserk. It was kind of predictable, considering his soul was brought to the Infinity Realms after he'd died in the Phantom Zone as you know it."

Hal straightens up, Batman tenses and Diana leans forward.

"This previous King of yours– he was a past prisoner of Aethyr's Mind?"

The halfa nods, uncertain now that he'd stumbled upon unknown territory.

"Yes, the Phantom Zone and the Infinity Realms are sister spaces. Were you not aware?"

They were not, he quickly finds out.

Fumbling with his words, mind working overdrive as he sorts through information, he speaks again. "They are the two sides of the same coin, Phantom Zone being non-habitable while the Ghost Zone is filled with unalive."

He briefly struggles with his words, genuinely taken off guard with the lack of knowledge.

"Aethyr isn't just a being, but someone who is connected to the realm itself. Its similar to my position as King of the ghost zone." He summons his crown of ice to simple gesture.

"Besides! Phantom Zone, Zero Zone? Anti-infinite? That's literally the opposite of the Ghost Zone, the Infinite Realms!" he exclaims, throwing his hands up.

"Could you tell us more of your realm?" Superman asks, voice gentle and non threatening. "Some of us have been in the Phantom Zone, so hearing that there is a place being the complete opposite?"

The halfa nods in understanding. "Sure, why not?"

Three simple words yet everyone feels the trust put on them with such information.

"The entire realm is an ever shifting space, we categorise eith the sectors of each afterlife. From the Greeks to the Yetis and different eras."

—

(The tale of his realm lasts longer than expected, it is only when Hal started to get ready to leave does Danny address a certain area in his zone.

"The... Emerald Space is also a sector of the Infinity realm. The sector itself is formed in a sphere like form, we aren't sure what's inside since the fallen lanterns keep to themselves rather."

Hal froze, eyes catching the ghosts, and looked away again. He'd tell OA of this, but now he was going home.

Danny watched him leave and declared it down for now, free for more question the next time and left just as fast.

At least Constantine and Zatara can update their books now.)
