arcanenites season 1 analysis

Greetings whorelings. This is my offical season 1 anylsis of the arcanenites. So sit back and eat some fucking snacks or smthing while I tell u evrything u need 2 know.

so 2 strt off with, daezonik is ttlly a werewlf. this relly bcomes clear in the last episde of seson 1. it makes mre snse to if u think abt how they always wear their suit and helmet. the gear helps 2 keep them frm transfrming 2 werwlf form. thts why they slept with it on and they also covred themself when they remvoed the helmet bcause if they r exposd to the real air and the real sun and moon thn they prbbly will turn and then prbbly kill evryone.

now 4 seth. now this did not take me 2 long 2 figre out but seth is ttly a alien zombie. seth did NOT come frm anywher in the wolrd, he came from outrspace. but not only did he cme from oturspace he also is ded but not really dead he is jst a zombie. the reson he has soup is bcause it is 1 of th onl y things tht his bdy can break down as a zonbie but als as a alien bcause in oterspace thy dnt have normal food it is mstly liqid. thre4 the persn tht seth met with who said they wuld hellp him is also a alien and mayb a zombie too.

fenix is jst hrrible. she is annying and nt a good charcter. she is manipulating her frinds but not in a cool going to b evil way. she is NOT strng and NOT cool enugh to be an actul villain unless evrthing abt her is chnged. if u wnt to see how a real villain acts chck out my fic it is populr so yu probbly alredy know abt it bcause i mde villain!fenix poplar. als th reson fenix buried the drss aftr the maskerad is bcause she is selfcntred and she did nt want it anmore bcaus it had drt and blod on it and she dosnt evn know how 2 wsh her own clthes.

alto is bing set up to be a bbeg. i dnt think it going 2 happn immedately but alto is NOT norml anymre. wth the ring and the cming back form the deadd with the agnel of deth. alto has gne frm whit wings 2 balck wings and in cinnama they use thse colors to represent good and evil. i als think tht wth this route alto is ging to kill smeone in the party and we all knw who it shuld be.

veks is alaso bing set up to b a bbeg excpt for veks he is alrdy evil. lik relly open ur eyes idits. it has ben shwn so many times tht veks is evl and tht he is ging to btray the party. the real juicy details cme in how he is ging to do it thogh. his prnters that he hs and is lvning with. thy hve other cnnections to the ruby foxs that hve nt been rveeld. also kila and the brother kila. whch leads me to my next analysiz.

kila nd brther kila are antheros whch is just able to be seen frm how they alredy act. bt kila and broter kila are ging 2 end up agnst the party prbbly 4 mney. i fully blieve that they r going 2 end up knowing abut the ruby fox and helping thm to steal stff from the prty sinc theyh have alredy done it b4. thy wre also prbbly at the ball and manged to get out or were even broght out by the rby fox without anyon seeing it. als wth kila stealing the ring, tht is going to come in to play mch lter and cause a lot of prblems. the absncse of the ring mght cause altos finger to fall off.

nw 4 the maskerad in genral. frst the woman who put the evnt on and the leadr of the ruby fox were totlly in love wth eachther at one point and they brke up. the tensin was too strng adn thy aknoledged that they had a past 2gether. als wth the 2 peple from the maskerad who wnt to have a revlution thy are actuly going to b the ones who r the evil tyrnts and thy r going to take ovr the town onc the prty helps 2 ovrthrow the currnt govrnmnt.

some other side thngs tht r nt importnt but tht i hav analyzed:

callyflower is a god in dsguise and tht is the true reson that it has not died yet and is saggy. mybe evn sme kind of evil god whch is why th old man bunkel is not ded either.

the goo is nt cming back as a plt point until aftr the nxt arc. i thnk tht the grop is ging to get strnger and thn find out tht the peple who are the heads of the arcanenites hve either ben killd or kidnaped and tht the people wh r the heads now are actully bad guys who r controling the goo.

so ther it is. now remmbr tht this is techniclly an anlysis evnthogh i do hve my secrt sorces tht give me xtra informtion. tht bing said ths is still jst an analyss of wht i hve pciked up on so thy hav the abilty to chnge in the futre. regrdless im prbbly right bcause whn am i not? thnk you my loyal whorelings 4 sticking arnd and wrshiping ur empress. ill b back latr with sme new fics and other thngs.

your ever gracious, smart, and totally dark -KhW69

Best of Frightfest: As the twentieth anniversary of Arrow Video Frightfest approaches, we at team THN take a look back at some of the best and brightest films that have screened over the last two decades. The Guest is today’s pick.

Who wouldn’t trust a charming and handsome stranger? That’s a question that kicks off the action of Adam Wingard’s dastardly wicked thriller The Guest. Said charming stranger is David Collins (played by Dan Stevens, fresh off the driveway of Downton Abbey), a young man who goes to visit the family of a dead friend he supposedly served with in the armed forces in Afghanistan. Soon enough however, brother and sister pair Anna (Maika Monroe) and Luke (Brendan Meyer) begin to suspect that David may not be all that he seems.

Adam Wingard and his writing partner Simon Barrett, had already made an impression at both FrightFest and the movie-going world in general when their breakout movie You’re Next did the festival circuit. They returned with The Guest, a film which continued to demonstrate Wingard and Barrett’s affection for old school horror and thrillers.

Where You’re Next took a spin at the slasher genre, The Guest is more aimed at the synth driven thrills of John Carpenter, combined with elements of The Terminator and pulpy paperback mysteries. That is largely given life by the electrifying soundtrack that powers the film. With both a great score from Steve Moore and some fantastic modern synth pop from the likes of Love and Rockets and Survive, this is a film that pumps with a musicality that feels both retrograde and fresh all at once (try getting Annie’s ‘Antonio’ out of your head afterwards, just try!).

That style more than helps the narrative as well, with the film proving to be a lean, mean and mischievously twisty affair that supports its darker impulses with a sense of funhouse thrills that ensure that The Guest operates as more than just a hollow 80s homage.

In placing young actors at the centre of its plot as the two characters who have more of an instinct for something fishy than any of the adult characters, there is a distinct Amblin adventure vibe to the approach. In David, we have a mysterious figure that provokes through hidden-identity and something more raw and sexual. And then there’s the added element of shady Government conspiracy that escalates into ultra-violence that brings in the John Carpenter elements more heavily. It could all prove a bit too much for the pot, but Wingard keeps all these elements from boiling over with a light touch and a sense that his tongue is firmly in his cheek.

It also helps that all the performances are so fun. Maika Monroe stands out in a role that would lead to her more celebrated breakout performance in It Follows mere months later. But, of course, the real star of the show is Dan Stevens. With this film, he showed great ambition to breakout of his Downton Abbey mould, sporting an American accent and using his striking eyes to wildly unsettling effect. He feels attractive, he feels dangerous, and he relishes the chance to re-define the perception of him as an actor.

The Guest is a film that has proven to be a great deal of fun to revisit, thanks to that cocktail of old school styling with an electrifying contemporary edge and wit. Wingard and Barrett prove to once again be very adept at combining elements from movies that they clearly adore and repackage them for something that feels distinct. It often feels like it plays as Drive’s beer-chugging cousin, matching that film for its neon-glazed ultra-violence, whilst choosing to have a little more fun along the way. Give it a spin, it’s still one hell of a ride!

Thanks @glofigs

Il sarcofago di Isaacio (Sahak) l’Armeno (625-643), Esarca di Ravenna

– I primi dati certi riguardo alla presenza degli armeni in Italia risalgono all’Esarcato bizantino di Ravenna. Oltre al più famoso Narsete (Nerses) (541-568), tra gli esarchi di origine armena va ricordato anche Isacio (Sahak) (625-643), probabilmente appartenuto alla famiglia armena dei Kamsarakan. Di lui rimane un notevole sarcofago con decorazioni in bassorilievo, custodito a Ravenna nella basilica di San Vitale. Il sarcofago è stato oggetto di numerosi studi, in particolare l’epigrafe scolpita su di esso in lingua greca, riportante frasi che ci permettono di avere fondamentali informazioni biografiche sull’esarca.

La traduzione letterale dell’epigrafe è la seguente:

1. Qui giace colui che fu valorosamente stratego custodendo inviolati Roma ed il Ponente 2. per tre volte sei anni ai sereni signori, Isaacio, l’alleato degli imperatori, 3. il grande ornamento di tutta l’Armenia; costui era infatti armeno e di nobile stirpe. 4. Essendo morto gloriosamente, la casta moglie Susanna, alla maniera di una venerabile tortora 5. geme incessantemente, essendo stata privata del marito, un uomo che ottenne fama dalle fatiche 6. nel Levante e nel Ponente; comandò infatti l’esercito di Ponente e d’Oriente.

Come riportato nel testo “EPIGRAFI GRECHE DELL’ITALIA BIZANTINA (VII-XI SECOLO)” (F. Fiori), l’analisi delle parole greche utilizzate nell’epigrafe ci permette di capire l’importanza del personaggio in quell’epoca. L’appellativo “stratego”, infatti, allude all’importanza ed al valore del più alto funzionario della Provincia Italiae, nominato direttamente dall’Imperatore come reggente dei possedimenti bizantini del tempo.

La prova decisiva dell’importanza di Isaacio si ha, inoltre, nell’iscrizione epigrafica del nipote di Isaacio, di nome Gregorio. Tra le frasi dell’epigrafe si legge la parola “esarca”, che conferma il ruolo di primo piano dello zio. Di seguito la trascrizione delle frasi:

1. Il corpo è nascosto nel sepolcro in basso, 2. in alto verso il divino rimane l’anima 3. bramando la luce incorruttibile che vede chiaramente 4. tutta avendo rifuggito la lordura del peccato. 5. Egli era infatti un fanciullo di circa undici anni, 6. Gregorio, semplice, nobile d’animo, molto dolce; 7. questi Isaacio, che un grande esarco 8. delle armate italiche si è mostrato per le imprese, 9. ha pianto amaramente dal profondo del cuore, 10. poiché era suo zio da parte di padre, 11. ma aveva per lui viscere di amore paterno.

Quindi l’interpretazione del testo:

Mentre il corpo si trova nella tomba sotto terra, l’anima vola verso Dio poiché desidera la luce eterna che tutto illumina, essendo sfuggita alla sporcizia del peccato. Gregorio era infatti un fanciullo che aveva quasi undici anni, semplice, nobile d’animo, dolcissimo. Isaacio, che ha dimostrato di essere un grande esarco delle armate italiche per le (proprie) imprese, lo ha pianto amaramente dal profondo del cuore poiché era suo zio dalla parte paterna, ma provava per lui l’affetto di un padre. (F. Fiori)

La moglie di Isaacio, Susanna, a cui viene attribuita l’epigrafe del marito, era probabilmente appartenuta alla casata nobile armena dei Mamikonian. Il marito, invece, era probabilmente un nakharar (principe) della casata dei Kamsarakan, una delle famiglie nobili più potenti dell’Armenia, insieme ai Mamikonian, ai Bagratouni, ai Mardpet, agli Artzrouni e ai Chorchoruni.

Il riferimento alla patria di origine di Isaacio, l’Armenia, ne conferma la grande importanza al tempo dell’Impero Bizantino. Diversi imperatori, imperatrici, intellettuali ed aristocratici bizantini erano di origine armena. Gli Armeni che abitavano le regioni della Grande Armenia, dell’Armenia transcaucasica e dell’Armenia Minore parteciparono costantemente alle operazioni belliche di Roma, già a partire dal II secolo d.C., e dell’Impero Romano d’Oriente dal 476 d.C. A causa della crescente importanza della cavalleria nelle milizie romane, il reclutamento dell’esercito si spostò dalle zone germaniche a quelle abitate dagli Armeni, eccellenti cavalieri. Sotto Giustiniano molti armeni vennero trasferiti forzosamente nei Balcani, per proteggere i confini dell’Impero dalle frequenti minacce degli Slavi e degli Avari lungo il confine del Danubio.
