Lost Relatives

Maddie Fenton is Iris West's sister, the two lost communication after Maddie focused on her inventions; Hoping to reconnect with her sister, Iris invites her to her wedding.

When the Fentons show up at the wedding, the only way Barry can describe them is...eccentric. He didn't expect his bride-to-be's family to be so quirky, though he didn't mind Iris's request, he hoped they could reconnect.

That was until he was near Danny Fenton and felt the Speedforce lean toward him. Almost as if it was calling out to him. Danny looked at Barry curiously but didn't comment on it. Barry wondered if there was a flaw in the Speedforce.

Danny had a bad feeling about the wedding ever since he saw Clockwork grinning like a maniac after he mentioned the event to him.

He clearly didn't expect to find the "criminals who keep altering space-time" that Clockwork kept complaining about. He wondered if he could feign ignorance until the end of the event.

I heard y'all like SAILING THE HIGH SEAS (and buff butch sailor babes) Launching this right now may not be the best idea I've ever had, but by god, I've done it once before and it's fooled me into thinking I can do anything.

[puppetmaster13u]

I’ve been thinking about this a lot and basically Danny is Beelzebub from Hellva boss with his own casino performs and the entrance defies reality and all his ghost rouges come in and go as they please and some humans and or mortals stumble in and think it’s just some place where metas party their fucking asses off which wouldn’t be that bad if this wasn’t FUCKING GOTHAM. Danny doesn’t know how they got in Gotham but they just want to party but unfortunately for him the bats hear a rumor some meta trafficking ring has been planning a big raid on a certain casino that’s new ish and they have to stop it so they go in disguise and they get to witness Danny and his rouges beat the every loving snot out of some traffickers

maybe Danny is a clone, maybes he’s reincarnated, maybe he lost a bet, maybe he moved to Gotham for fun, maybe he got tossed across the universe into Gotham

who knows certainly not Danny

but to add even more maybe he travels around the casino on trapezes and circus rings that he just flips around it and has a pole it the middle that reaches the ceiling and at the top there’s this disco ball thing that he can activate to make a small nebula or stars surround the casino and make it pretty

oh oh and maybe with him having the title of beelzebub is like gotten after he beat them as in right of conquest, or maybe beelzebub is kinda like a shared name so Danny fuels them and they go around getting mortal action without having to do work, or maybe it was given to him as a present with a bow on top idk

I have no words for this and just had to draw because the idea of a casino or whatever with like, everywhere looking like galaxies and auroras that shift to the music was such an amazing visualization lol

Shadowheart & the Knowledge Domain🦉

Anyone else respec their Selûnite Shadowheart to a Knowledge Cleric after the Shadowfell?

"Let all who worship the changing tides of Life and Knowledge feel the blessing of Selûne. Trust in the purity of my light, see the constancy in its inconstancy, and you will be guided aright." -inscription on Selûne statue in the Stormshore Tabernacle.

Selûne and the Changing Tides

I thought Knowledge Domain was the most fitting domain thematically for my Selûnite Shadowheart. Most importantly, Knowledge is one of Selûne's divine domains, directly opposed to the philosophies of the Shar, and Shadowheart's movement towards a Selûnite domain is representative of the choices she makes in her story.

Shar sees knowledge, truths and the experience of living as sources of suffering and sorrow, remedied only by "darkness"; lies, illusions, numbness and ultimately the nothingness of death. On the other hand Selûne encourages her followers to step out of the "darkness" into the/her "light"; to embrace the truths and the experiences of life, no matter how painful, scary or unsettling they may be. Beauty is to be found in the "changing tides of life and knowledge" and to swim against these currents is to drown; to lose yourself. For Sharrans, faith is escapism from suffering while for Selûnites, faith is the eye of the storm that keeps them adaptable and resilient, and helps them embrace the changes that life and knowledge bring. When Shadowheart saves the Nightsong, she is embracing such change and hence rejecting Shar; she choses to reckon with the knowledge she's uncovered and value the life of the Nightsong. She puts her faith in the truth, no matter how painful, and in the possibilities of a life she's yet to live, and so she leaves the darkness and steps into the light.

Shadowheart: I... I can't believe I just did that. Lady Shar will disown me... what will happen to me? Nightsong: Not what will happen - what will you do. Your past is not yet lost. Your future is not yet fixed.

Light of Knowledge and Life

"Adaptable and adroit in all manner of languages and skills, your mind is an intellectual cup brimming with exquisite knowing." -BG3's Knowledge Domain description.

So for me the respec after the Shadowfell was necessary as it signified Shadowheart's turn to the light and to Selûne, which meant that she would have to become either a Life and Knowledge Cleric.

Selûne's Knowledge Domain champions inquisitiveness, adaptability, resourcefulness and skill, in direct contrast to the Shadowheart's previous Trickery Domain, which values deceit, secrets, illusion and cunning. The Life Domain on the other hand values healing, compassion, equality and protection. Considering how important unravelling and reckoning with the mystery of her past is, I thought the Knowledge Domain and its intrigue was more representative of Shadowheart and her choices than the loftier Life Domain.

The Knowledge Domain also gives Shadowheart access to all proficiencies under an ability score each long rest, the ability to read the thoughts of any creatures she interacts with until a long rest, and numerous Wizard spells which Clerics would not otherwise have access to. Essentially, the Knowledge Domain gives Shadowheart a lot of versatility and adaptability, guiding her aright as she rides the tides of change.

Since JJK has a satisfying ending in 5 chapters,

I have renewed hope for my (Yuuji-centric) cryogenic domain theory. Maybe we'd see the reanimated sorcerers team up with Sukuna against the merger? Which sounds too predictable for Gege - there has to be some crazy twist. (also mentioned here and here).

Another direction could be a Heian era time travel (hear me out)

-Nobara has an awakening (like Gojo) from her near-death experience (she died and Nitta resuscitated her)

-the last fingie of Sukuna is still there (for Nobara to use her new technique on)

-the prison realm is also available (And Hakari even mentioned using it for time travel - - not to mention the?? Chapters he's spent calmly with Uraume. What are they talking about? Uraume was explaining Sukuna, from what I recall, and likely telling Hakari about their past lives, maybe some dirt on kenjaku). Uraume could have some special cursed object around, too.

Normally I would say that time travel is not a satisfying ending, so it doesn't count.... But to see the sorcerers travel back to the Heian era would be interesting.

Tbh since the moment Gojo got sealed, I expected him to break out. As the shibuya incident dragged on, I thought he'd get bored in there and figure out a way to manipulate time (idk physics very well but if he can manipulate space, why not time, you know? Math or whatever it is).

Through the culling game arc I let go of my time travel theory - until Hakari mentioned it with the prison realm and I lost my mind.

"The outer reaches of space remain unexplored by humankind to this day, but its greed is relentless. We grasp and yearn and hunger for knowledge— answers to questions we cry out into the endless void expecting to understand, expecting the stars to respond. The stars will not, but one day something else will— and we will not like what it has to say." — Rome Solomon, Beyond the Exosphere (1965)

Kim is truly a supporter of the Purple x Luma couple 😂

i was a reading a bit more on purgatory and purgatorius ignis (cleansing fire), which is a concept that existed even before the notion that purgatory itself was a third other-world domain, similar to heaven and hell, when i suddenly remembered dante's la divina commedia and decided to revisit the story a little. and i found something interesting as i was scrolling through the wikipedia page.

so, purgatory is the second part of la divina commedia, following inferno, and is an allegory telling of the climb of dante up the mount of purgatory, guided by the roman poet virgil. alegorically, purgatorio represents the penitent christian life (and christianity, as we know, is one of the core themes of fontaine's archon quests that arlecchino was a part of). while describing the climb dante focuses a lot on the nature of sin, examples of vice and virtue, as well as moral issues in politics and in the church. what's interesting, though, is that the poem posits the theory that all sins arise from love – either perverted love directed towards others' harm, or deficient love, or the disordered or excessive love of good things.

why is this interesting, you ask? let me add here a few quotes before i contextualise it:

"she is a god with no love left for her people, nor do they have any left for her" - dainsleif about the cryo archon, the tsaritsa

"her royal highness the tsaritsa is actually a gentle soul. too gentle, in fact, and that's why she had to harden herself. likewise, she declared war against the whole world only because she dreams of peace. and because she made an enemy of the world, i now have a friend in you." - childe about the tsaritsa

"everyone praises her for her kindness and benevolence, but they forget that love is also a form of sin. what if she's just trying to compensate for something?" - wanderer about the tsaritsa

the tsaritsa, the cryo archon and the person arlecchino is devoted to, is theorised and hinted multiples times to be the god of love. yes, the love that is said to be the origin of sin in la divina commedia. we can also draw parallels between the idea of perverted love talked about in the poem and the relationship between arlecchino and others, for instance the kids of the house of the hearth.

arlecchino's drip marketing including an excerpt where the scene goes from a gentle warm environment, seemingly mistaken as a loving family home full of innocent looking children, that quickly shifts into a somber and dark atmosphere under her authority - the children answering instantly, without hesitation and completely obedient -, is the perfect illustration of the duality within her character. there's an obvious exploitative and manipulative system making use of the house of the hearth and the orphans under its roof, where arlecchino (as the one running the orphanage) is the provider and the kids are brought up to be dependable and further dispatched as fatui soldiers when "potential" is recognised. and we can deduce that there's ways that their education is done from a very young age so it prevents or punishes any sort of dissent, something not hard to imagine when we know from freminet that arlecchino doesn't like when the kids cry or show emotional vulnerability, something she sees as weakness, for example. but if there's this dark side to her, there's also certain attitudes that demonstrate her care for the children or even her care for the world around her. arlecchino helping freminet get closure on his mother's death, the reformation of the house of the hearth (which we know used to have a much more punishitive and strict leader before arlecchino took over) or even her devotion and deep respect towards the tsaritsa are some examples of the way she shows care for other people. now, we can theorise that these good deeds directed towards the orphans under her care are very much purposeful to better manipulate them, but i think that's exactly what the notion of perverted love in la divina commedia tries to hint at.

besides this concept, there's something else that peaked my interest in dante's poem. dante pictures purgatory as an island at the antipodes of jerusalem, pushed up, in an otherwise empty sea, by the displacement caused by the fall of satan, which left him fixed at the central point of the earth. it's a cone-shaped island that has seven terraces on which souls are cleansed from the seven deadly sins or capital vices as they ascend. at the summit is the garden of eden, from where the souls, cleansed of evil tendencies and made perfect, are taken to heaven.

as we know, arlecchino is being introduced in fontaine, her homeland, and the idea of purgatory as an island in the sea leading its way to heaven caused by the fall of a sinful being sort of reminded me of remuria. remuria was the civilization in fontaine which directly preceded the previous hydro archon egeria's rule. its downfall occurred as a result of remus' attempt to avert its predicted destruction, and in particular, by his act of sharing his power and authority — reserved only for gods — with the four human harmosts he appointed to govern his cities. remuria eventually ended up being sunken into the abyss, devouring everything including the people and remus himself. we know there's still a region in fontaine's map that wasn't yet released, so how odd would it be that the last part to be revealed in fontaine might just be the land that was once sunken? after the little note about the samsara cycles near the tower of the narzissenkreuz ordo, which referenced a cycle called remuria, i would not be surprised at all. it's also particularly funny that fontaine is directly below celestia. yes, the floating island in the sky above teyvat which is the residence of the gods, the same gods that made remuria fall. as the contemporary philosophers of our time have said, that's sus!!!

i don't want to get too ahead of myself because i don't have a theory about what's going to happen or what role arlecchino will play exactly but i don't think it would be shocking if we got to know more about remuria during her release. and still in the purgatory idea, i think the angel of death (azreal) might be an interesting parallel to make with arlecchino. azrael's role is seen as benevolent, transporting souls after death. it fits perfectly well with the idea of purgatorius ignis, that signifies transformation. in different cultural and religious contexts, fire can also symbolize destruction renewal and even rebirth so i'm very very curious to see what arlecchino's story will be like.

The World of Fantasy 灵域 (2021) | Episode 14 | Ling Yu Shi's vision

[intexda]

Making horror of more innocent IPs when they hit public domain is annoying but what's more annoying is every studio decides they have to be a generic slasher movie.

The setting and concept of Winnie the pooh lends itself to the fae realm really well. You don't need to have the characters be evil. You can have cute innocent winnie the pooh. The horror is the realm itself and fae law. Christopher robin possibly never getting to leave the hundred acre woods or losing himself.

Him partaking in the innocent picnics not realizing what eating the food means. The residents like Winnie the pooh, piglet, and owl being fae.

Stop with the generic slasher adaptations. At least get creative with this shit.
