#bad lore

[lionheartedmusings]

so... if it's canon that q!bad was one of the angels under the euphrates river — one of the "four avenging angels rise from the river with their weapons, ready to fulfill their mission of killing a third of the people on earth" — and it's also canon that he's now a demon (mind you the angels under the euphrates were already there because they'd sinned and were basically on thin ice with the big man) that would ultimately imply that he fulfilled his mission of killing a third of the population and then got booted from the sky above by god himself. thus, demon.

we know he's (as a demon) responsible (accidentally or not) for:

the black death (possibly)

the destruction of pompeii

the fall of atlantis

he's also canonically "a" grim reaper, although he does this part time... but from last stream we can infer he's very much in tune with life and death still, to the point of it being the only reliable information we have from him right now.

we also know from last stream that the horse he found is... very fitting with the concept of the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

the fourth and final horseman is named death. known as θάνατος (thanatos), of all the riders, he is the only one to whom the text itself explicitly gives a name. unlike the other three, he is not described as carrying a weapon or other object, instead, he is followed by hades (the resting place of the dead). however, illustrations commonly depict him carrying a scythe, sword, or another implement. the color of death's horse is written as khlōros (χλωρός) in the original koine greek, which can mean either green/greenish-yellow or pale/pallid. the color is often translated as "pale", though "ashen", "pale green", and "yellowish green".

now, for this to be a viable theory we have to discard the greek mythology figure of thanatos because in this case thanatos is simply a placeholder for the name "death" so there's no need (as of right now) for us to go down another mythology wormhole.

so, as of november 19th 2023, q!bad is most likely one of the future horsemen of the apocalypse, specifically death... but it's okay because "it's not time yet".

i have a Quastion does peter enjoy the taste of blood when he bites people,,,, i need this information because of,,,,, stuff

Blood itself doesn't do anything for Peter, but biting is almost a primal instinct and once he's clamped on, it's very difficult for him to let go.

And injecting venom straight from his fangs gives Peter the same level of euphoria as an orgasm would. A big enough release of venom leaves Peter completely fucked out and experiencing something close to subspace.

As for Wade, he absolutely gets addicted to Peter's venom, but not in the typical physical sense. He gets addicted to the quality of life improvement-

Firstly, it's one one of the few drugs that has an effect on him (still short considering his healing factor but way longer than anything on the market!)

And Secondly, not only does Spidey's venom act as an extremely powerful painkiller, it also helps slow down Wade's sense of time so he can enjoy it. Wade sleeps a full 7 hours for the first time in decades.

All that's left is to stop Spidey from spiraling into a full blown panic attack and running away anytime his fangs graze Wade.

Grian isekai au because the life series watcher lore is so isekai coded... like fym this guy turned into a player to save his friends that is literally a isekaier right there!!!!

Anyways, yeah <3 he got isekaid into his own novel full of tragedy and suffering, one like = one prayer 🙏 for Grian

Additional little facts and stuff down here 👇

- Grian, One, and Two all have some sort of head cover to allude to the Watcher's robes. Along with the evo symbol embroidered in their clothing and an eye pin.

- One and Two are actually based on Steve and Alex from the WeTheWatchers minecraft skin.

- One, Two, and Three are their pen names.

- Scar being Grian's favourite alludes to 3rd life (because im still ill abt 3rd life) where Grian says that he still sticks with Scar after he lost his 1st life because "he's the most interesting character here."

- I dont actually know how Grian got isekaid in the first place. It's either:

a. He gets hit by a truck (classic)

b. He gets so stressed about One and Two being the average ao3 writer and butchering his characters he got sick and d-worded in his sleep (he's so dramatic)

c. He just gets pulled in inside the novel Dora style middway complaining about the angst One and Two wrote.

Wrestling lore is really funny to explain to non-wrestling people, mainly because you have to suspend your disbelief much more than you would do for stuff like anime or superhero fiction. Think of it like this; it’s normal for a shonen anime protagonist or a superhero to demonstrate they have superpowers usually because it’s established early on. That also goes for other parts of the lore, such as the world-building, the MacGuffins, and the history of that world.

But in wrestling, characters and storylines change all the time and are ongoing (I’ve seen the term “longform storytelling” used). So you end up with HUGE leaps in logic, such as:

1) There’s a supernatural being from hell who temporarily became a biker gang member, and then went back to being a supernatural being from hell

2) There’s a male model who gave out grooming tips who eventually evolved into Captain America/Homelander.

3) Triple H committed burglary on camera. He invaded Randy Orton’s home, beat him up, destroyed some of his property, and then threw Orton out the window. But it’s all fine because he’s the good guy, so he’s still employed by the WWE.

4) Dominik Mysterio is beefing with his dad, who literally fought for child custody of him in a wrestling match. Keep that in mind anytime you see Dominik not getting along with Rey.

5) Edge got sent to hell, but is okay now.

6) CM Punk was once a cult leader, but stopped doing that after he lost his hair. Then he became the opposite, as in he turned into an anti-authority rebel.

7) A lot of wrestlers, such as Sheamus and Shawn Spears, apparently used to work at WWE as background staff/security guards.

8) Real life famous music artist Bad Bunny is part of the lore and he actually beat a world champion (Damian Priest) in a match. And I don’t mean Bad Bunny is playing a character. In the WWE lore, Bad Bunny is playing himself.

(Feel free to add on any other leaps in logic from pro-wrestling)

You were right to leave. I always thought that you were failing this world. But, if you were happier on Earth, maybe... this world was... failing you.

pink diamond is a character i am constantly thinking about and turning over and over in my mind. i wish we got more of her. i think the depth of her character was greatly overshadowed by the popular bad faith interpretations of her character present by the end of su future.
