#ancient prediction

[naphiatra]

The earth ancient release will be hilarious. I bet Arlo discovers them by falling through their ceiling while digging.

Anyways, some notes on my design:

The Earthshaker made his first children beautiful, but they turned out to be fragile. Not wanting them to be hurt, he hid them away but they were forgotten by the outside world

Fins, large eyes for retaining light + 2 pincers based on Axolotl, Waterfall climbing cave fish, and Cave lobster. Kinda based more on precious stone brittleness than actual rocks.

They can't fly, but use their fins to climb

Alright after processing everything that’s happened, Heres my predictions and theories for EP:8

(Spoilers, ofc, +horrible explaining!!)

.

.

Alright starting with my theories on “Truthless Recluse” aka corrupted pv

So first off, I believe this truthless recluse ISNT actually pv, or at least the REAL real real pv. lemme explain-

This specific dialogue gave me an idea..

What if Pure vanilla was hiding this half of himself without knowing it? And shadow milk’s goal was to reveal this other half, These 2 half’s of him probably being:

A:

The pure vanilla we all know and love, The truthful one, The one that never gives up for peace and the happiness of all cookie kind!

B:

The “real” pure vanilla, The shame, doubt, and hatred of himself thinking he’s worthless, And that he cant help all cookies. basically the depressed side

Ever since ep 10 of crispia. Pure vanilla was able to let go of pv B and always stayed persistent and kind. Splitting himself in half. Only ever revealing the other side of him when provoked & manipulated.. Only by one specific cookie.. Shadow milk!.. So.. silly lil smilk mentally tortured PV A in order to let pv show the “real” him. PV B

So, Hes split by shadow milk cookie in order to truly break him. So like uhm, The sides switched. PV A is the one hidden within the abyss of regret now while PV B is the one as Truthless Recluse.

So like, Its still him. But not the full him. And in believe pv B is aware of that. Except, He thinks A is nothing but a poor illusion. What is he is now, Is the “real him”. (in his eyes prob)

And the only way for him to awaken is if he embraces both sides of himself. By accepting the cruel truth about the world and that he cant save everyone, Its inevitable. But aslong as he dosent give up and tries. Its the best he can do, and it still makes an impact on cookiekind

So the only way to bring him back is for the trio (or possibily WL) to do the opposite of smilk:

Give this man a WARM BLANKET. SLEEP. HOT COCOA. ALL HIS FRIENDS THERE FOR HIM, ALL HIS SHEEP AND A THERAPIST

But even if he does awaken and embrace those two sides. Its safe to say he will never FULLY recover from what shadow milk has done to him. Its gonna take an awfull long while for him to do so. And i hope devsis KNOWS THAT.

Anyways moving on~

He also couldve been truthless recluse for a WHILEEE by now..

comfirmed by fortune teller. shadow milk can probably control time in the spire with a flick of a wrist!

meaning that.. Even if the trio only ventured for merely a few hours. What if pure vanilla/truthless recluse has to experience days of torture and suffering to turn like that.. Only proof i have of this theory is his eyebags (he’s had too much.)

this is PV B were talking abt. so Since he literally has no hope anymore he’s probably been overthinking about everything nonestop, his uselessness, his failure as a king, his whole life merely being a game to shadow milk. HIS WHOLE LIFE BEING A LIE. Which explains the eyes :((

Im gonna hope its just emo eyeshadow

The pupils & eyecolor also intrigue me too. I believe its to show how shadow milk has control of him now. Orr, It shows how he now only see’s everything in shadow milk’s lies :((

(Devsis when i catch you.)

Just. Why. why are you so easily manipulated PV. FIGHT BACK PLEASE. I NEED A GROWLING HATRED SCREAM FROM YOU AGAINST SMILK. LET IT OUT 🙏🙏

you CAN CANONICALLY DO THIS WITHOUT THE POSESSION OF YOUR SOULJAM. LITERALLY JUST DARK MOON MAGIC (i think) TO DO THIS

Beat HIS ASS IN EP 8.

anyways SPeAKiNG OF FORTUNE TELLER COOKIE

ho- HOW ARE THEY THE SAME?!

THEY WERE IN THE- THE SAME ROOM LIKE HOW HUH?

My only guess is that, Fortune teller IS really a seperate cookie. But after Truthless Recluse found out he was helping the trio. He probably decided to posess him. Most likely with dark moon magic. We know he IS was stronger now by what the trio said at the end.

talkin abt truthless, i dont think WL is gonna be the one saving him. I believe all respective beasts stories start at the same time, Except white lilies which is just a little late since she decided to go with pv but later left.

I believe the riddle at that spire was purposely added to make white lily leave. Its too much trouble for shadow milk. so he tricked her into going to silent salt.

(i want to believe raisin will be there for him but. really doubtful abt that 😔)

Alright now Lets move onto shadow milk:

lets start off with how i think he’ll be defeated:

if i had to predict.. He’d be defeated by straight off anger from pv. But what if he got beaten up while pv was still Truthless Recluse? Like, Pv straight up snaps and not only almost crumbles smilk. But the entire spire and his friends with it

I believe in his corrupted form, he’d be more powerful than ever considering the ending of ep 7. Probably because hes now using dark moon magic.

like IMAGINE. HE WAS SO TORTURED AND MENTALLY UNSTABLE SO HE SNAPS AND PROCEEDS TO BEAT THE 💩 OUT OF SMILK. EVEN IF HE DOSENT WIN THE FIGHT IT WILL STILL BE VERY VERY SATISFYING

EVEN WITHOUT HIS SOULJAM. WE KNOW HES SO POWERFUL BUT YET HES A HEALER. JUST GOES TO SHOW HE CAN OBLITERATE EARTHBREAD ANY TIME. BUT CHOOSES PEACE

“Wait but what about the beast sealing ritual thingy?”

i dont think its exists. Because if it never did or got destroyed. That would be such a plot twist. But that defeats the whole purpose on why they went there and pv would go through all of that for nothing. So id like to imagine it would get destroyed last second

wait that gives me another idea:

What if the trio tries to get pv back to his sense while pv is trying to protect the beast sealing ritual. But right when pv is abt to snap back to his senses. He COMPLETELY DESTROYS the ritual on accident or mind control. Only a small hint left. And they are forced to confront shadow milk for the truth.

Okay thats it for now. My silly brainrotted brain has nothing else to say.

if i have more theories i will add the link of it down here ⬇️

[sarafangirlart]

Ok hypothetically speaking, if Perseus, Hephaestus and Ares show up in season 2 of Kaos, how would they be depicted?

[mousetrappa-fr]

Guys what’s the chance they look like this.

[hyperpotamianarch]

So, a random question I thought up:

Imagine you're the King of ancient Judea. Your capital city, Jerusalem, is under siege by a foreign empire after they have devastated the rest of your land and conquered most neighbouring nations.

Egypt is still independent, and itself is something of an opposing empire to yours. They might be able to help. The Ammonites, Moabites, Edomites and Aramites have all been conquered already, but might be willing to rebel. You have given an ultimatum by the empire to surrender or your city will be destroyed. There is a prophet in town who had, once or twice, preached against your policies - though there are also many prophets who support you.

What do you do? I choose not to make it a poll for now, as your options are only limited by the premise (meaning, you can't use magic or modern technology to somehow win here. Divine help may or may not come, you truly can't know. It's your choice).

[cuppajj]

Is there a chance that Spice might escape from Cheese? Or maybe just attempted to escape from her? 🤔

you tell me

Cale's Ancient Power's abilities and hidden aspects – The List

It occurred to me that for all the list I've made before, I never actually wrote one which described the Ancient Powers in detail. Since there's quite a bunch of them, I decided to make one – with a couple of yet-to-be-explored aspects noted. (There are more APs in TCF of course, and maybe I'll cover them some other time. But these are the main 7, and they're the ones which come up the most in the story.)

0. Ancient Power name Main power; Sub powers

Vitality of the Heart Physical damage recovery; Slowed aging, keeping plate in balance

Dominating Aura Fake aura of dominance; Dragon Fear immunity, aura of protection

Indestructible Shield Strong, portable shield; Chlorokinesis, dead mana absorption

Sound of Wind Aerokinesis, flight; Treasure detection, potential echolocation*

Fire of Destruction Pyrokinesis, lightining bolts; Dead mana purification, jiangshi restoration

Super Rock Geokinesis; Body protection, danger detection**

Sky Eating Water Hydrokinesis, spears; Ability to extinguish all fires, potential terraformation***

*"Potential echolocation" is due to the fact that the Thief told Cale how when she was alive, she didn't need to see, as "all she needed was the wind". Considering her occupation as a thief who never got caught until the very end - and I assume it took a LOT of effort to catch her, with the Ancient White Star's forces after her for stealing that life-restoring jar; an alleged "divine item"… She MUST have had some way to navigate in order to do all that stuff. It's not difficult to imagine that she had similar senses to Toph from Avatar the Last Airbender, except with wind. The elementals likely helped her too, but I'm pretty confident that if Cale ever lost his sight for some reason, he'd still be able to see with this Ancient Power. He just doesn't need to, so it was never brought up.

**"Danger detection" is kind of debatable, but it ties well with the lore. It might just be Super Rock teasing Cale will all those "Are You Trying To Sacrifice Yourself" questions, wanting him to use his power. But it happened a couple of times when Cale WASN'T expecting actual danger to happen. Almost as in, the Super Rock was detecting danger for him. It could be just that the Super Rock was having general "intuition" going on and was trying to proactively protect Cale. But I think it's very likely it's a legit aspect of the Ancient Power, because Earth is canonically the element closest to Death. As in, Earth is where all the bones are, where the blood soaks in, made out of dead material, et cetera. So Super Rock sensing Potential Death Ahead seems very spot on, even if it's never confirmed directly in canon. (Considering how the Indestructible Shield was revealed to be a plant controlling power later on in the story, I think it's extremely likely all Ancient Powers can have even more hidden aspects like that.)

***"Potential terraformation" is the one most in the "theory" zone of them all. The legends about the North, the unnamed God (the current most likely one to be responsible is the God of War) who chose a Saint, and the Water of Judgement/Sky Eating Water, were the least explored of them all in canon. But it was said that this particular God gave the North a rivel, and greedy humans turned it into a lake to hoard it all to themselves. In punishment, the God made that lake dry out and promise to make the river flow again, once the North receives punishment for their transgression. In general, it's unclear whether the one who created that river was the God, or the Water of Judgement… however, I think it's safe to assume it was the latter. It would make sense why they coveted both the river and the Water of Judgement, then, and why the other Ancient Power owners helped her escape to the Eastern Continent. To sum it up: I think the Sky Eating Water made that river, and that counts as terraforming. She didn't just summon water to make it, she permanently changed the landscape with it, and it would have continued to flow if the God in question didn't erase it as punishment to greedy humans. In other words, the Sky Eating water has the power to create long-term changes to the environment, same as the Sound of Wind, which reacted the whirlpools.

new 2025 fashion prediction!

is february to late to be making fashion predictions for this year? maybe! but who cares! recently i have seen bangle bracelets trending- and i am in LOVE! from 70s/80s funky and chunky, 2020s simple gold and silver stacks, i think it’s time to bring the medieval revival to jewelry!

vintage, big, eclectic, bejeweled, unique pieces stacked high up on the arms with mixed metals and styles all mushed together to create a truly medieval royal look!

along with bangles i see arm cuffs being a huge thing this summer, but more “medieval” than boho like the a la the 2010s! i think Ancient Greece will also be a huge historical pulling point for fashion this coming spring/summer, i personally cannot wait to see how that translates!

i keep using the words “funky” and “eclectic” to describe this new medieval revival as i see so much inspiration being pulled from all over- different eras of history, fantasy, styles, etc but it’s all under the same “medieval” aesthetic! i see wood tones being a huge trend in accessories this year too!

Light Ancient prediction:

They will be called Diurnals, which means 'during the day'

We have Nocturnes for Shadow Flight, and nocturnal means 'during the night.

What are the odds that the Shadowbinder names them that to flex on the Lightweaver?

An interview with Heloïse Bourdon and Mathieu Ganio on all things Mayerling.

[trans-estinien]

INSANE THEORY. that has no evidence im just spitballing cause of the 7.1 trailer. ryne is a mitron shard. not any other minfilias (again she said she was akin to an ascian) so i think. ryne herself is a mitron shard. the fucking YURI.

[shirogane-oushirou]

just finished o.td ep1!!!!!! replaying on higher difficulty for unlockables but.......... like......... while i would have to play w canon to get us to work out (and im usually a post-canon-but-very-much-canon-adjacent shipper in most regards)........ if i didn't have two characters in the microwave already i probably would put one character in there for a minute or two and see where that took me ;;;;
