[apoloadonisandnarcissus]

To put an end to this topic, and since I don't enjoy being accused of having “sexist headcanons" or my theories being dismissed as "shipper's wishful thinking" with no basis in what "Tolkien wrote", I'll accept the challenge of the admin of that RoP blog to admit things.

I’ll only address points about the legendarium in this post. I won’t waste time arguing against the idea that the show will somehow retcon itself when, so far, Galadriel has the most fleshed out backstory of all the characters in the show.

Elves, Magic and Power:

I’ll let Tolkien give you the answers about these topics:

[...] Power" is an ominous and sinister word in all these tales, except as applied to the gods" (Tolkien Letter 131) "Their [Elves] 'magic' is Art, delivered from many of its human limitations: mor effortless, more quick, more complete (product, and vision in unflawed correspondence). And its object is Art not Power, sub-creation not domination and tyrannous re-forming of Creation. The 'Elves' are immortal, at least as far as this world goes: and hence are concerned rather with the griefs and burdens of deathlessness in time and change, than with death. The Enemy in successive forms is always 'naturally' concerned with sheer Domination, and so the Lord of magic and machines; but the problem: that this frightful evil can and does arise from an apparently good root, the desire to benefit the world and others — speedily and according to the benefactor's own plans - is a recurrent motive.His was a sub-creative Fall, and hence the Elves (the representatives of sub-creation par excellence) were peculiarly his enemies, and the special object of his desire and hate - and open to his deceits. Their Fall is into possessiveness and (to a less degree) into perversion of their art to power. (Tolkien Letter 131) "Galadriel's power is not divine" (Tolkien Letter 156)

OP says Galadriel “doesn't need any "power-boost" from Sauron nor would it make sense for him to give her some” and “there is no such thing as “Dark Galadriel” and never was” because this is a Peter Jackson invention. Expect, Galadriel, according to Tolkien himself, perverted her (Elven) Art to power in the legendarium. We don’t know how, but she did.

OP refuses to believe Galadriel is “merely” a warrior, she needs to be something more, too because “Galadriel was one of the Noldor, and that even in the show she's regarded with much respect and deference. It can't be ONLY because she's a good commander of armies.” OP is correct, Galadriel is Noldor nobility, she’s the daughter of former High King Finarfin. She’s also among one of the oldest Elves in the story (she’s older than the sun and the moon). She’s also the great-great aunt of Gil-galad. There is your explanation why she’s regarded with respect even by Adar (also an Elf), and many bow before her.

But many Tolkien fans didn’t appreciate the quiet power struggle between Galadriel and Gil-galad in Season 1, but to me it makes perfect sense. Galadriel should be Queen of the Noldor, but, as Tolkien explains in Letter 214, matriarchies “were regarded with repugnance, as things only done 'under the Shadow'.” She shouldn’t have this ambition, which is why that’s the overwhelming temptation Sauron gives her. He sees her as she wishes to be. And that’s why Galadriel needs to repress all her desires and ambitions in order to “fall in line” with the other Elves. I don’t know, maybe this is the “feminism” OP is looking for.

I see the word “power” being used very freely in this fandom, but “power” has a specific meaning in Tolkien legendarium. It’s connected to the Shadow, to Morgoth and to Sauron. Words have meaning in the lore. You can’t forget Tolkien was a Professor of English Language and Literature at Oxford.

OP very sarcastically says: “by this logic all the Elves are just random people who just happen to be immortal because none of them did any "Elves magic". Surely they need Sauron to teach Galadriel, so she can teach them...”

Actually, it was Sauron who taught the Elves magic, in the legendarium, because Elves don’t have “magic”. That’s the whole point behind the rings of power and the corruption of the Elves of Eregion.

"at Eregion great work began – and the Elves came their nearest to falling to 'magic' and machinery. With the aid of Sauron's lore they made Rings of Power ('power' is an ominous and sinister word in all these tales, except as applied to the gods). (Tolkien Letter 131)

Sauron, as Tolkien describes, is the "Lord of magic and machines"; and the "desire for Power, for making the will more quickly effective, [leads] to the Machine (or Magic)".

I see many still don't understand why the Three rings of power are not as "good" as they seem:

"A sort of second fall or at least 'error' of the Elves. There was nothing wrong essentially in their lingering against counsel, still sadly with the mortal lands of their old heroic deeds. But they wanted to have their cake without eating it. They wanted the peace and bliss and perfect memory of 'The West', and yet to remain on the ordinary earth where their prestige as the highest people, above wild Elves, dwarves, and Men, was greater than at the bottom of the hierarchy of Valinor. They thus became obsessed with 'fading', the mode in which the changes of time (the law of the world under the sun) was perceived by them. They became sad, and their art (shall we say) antiquarian, and their efforts all really a kind of embalming – even though they also retained the old motive of their kind, the adornment of earth, and the healing of its hurts. [...] But many of me Elves listened to Sauron. He was still fair in that early time, and his motives and those of the Elves seemed to go partly together: the healing of the desolate lands. Sauron found their weak point in suggesting that, helping one another, they could make Western Middle-earth as beautiful as Valinor. It was really a veiled attack on the gods, an incitement to try and make a separate independent paradise. Gil-galad repulsed all such overtures, as also did Elrond." Tolkien Letter 131

Galadriel resisting the One Ring:

“But if she was "dark", Galadriel would have not refused the One Ring.” Galadriel refusal to take the One ring is well-explained by Tolkien in his letters. It was an “overwhelming” temptation, because everyone knows the quote “i do not deny that my heart has greatly desired this” from the film adaptation. And in the book she tells Frodo she thought about having the One ring and what she would do with it, for “long years”. Her refusing the One ring was her final test to be pardoned by the Valar:

"The disappearance of the temptation of Galadriel is significant" (Tolkien Letter 210) "Galadriel's rejection of the temptation was founded upon previous thought and resolve." (Tolkien 246) "Galadriel was a penitent: in her youth a leader in the rebellion against the Valar (the angelic guardians). At the end of the First Age she proudly refused forgiveness or permission to return. She was pardoned because of her resistance to the final and overwhelming temptation to take the Ring for herself" (Tolkien Letter 320)

Giving Galadriel credit

OP compels me and others to “Just admit that Galadriel is very strong and always was, which Sauron recognized immediately, instead of doing that mental gymnastics for the sake of giving Sauron more credit than he deserves” because “Sauron recognized her as his equal: it can't be only because she's pretty with shiny hair!”

But OP is also underestimating and misunderstanding Galadriel’s character. OP doesn’t accept she can’t “only” be a mighty warrior. That’s not good enough for OP, nor their headcanons. No, she needs to have the same amount of “power” as the Ainur, which is virtually impossible in the legendarium. Not even Sauron himself can be as powerful as Morgoth or any other Vala (although he came close), because he’s a mere Maia.

Tolkien himself in his Letter 246 says only Gandalf could best Sauron in the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy: “only Gandalf might be expected to master him - being an emissary of the Powers and a creature of the same order, an immortal spirit taking a visible physical form.” Precisely because they are both Maiar, but while Sauron is the most powerful, Gandalf is the wisest of all Maiar. And at this time Galadriel already was at the peak of her “power”, sort to speak.

Sauron recognized Galadriel as his equal because, like Morfydd Clark said in one interview with Charlie, they share the same mindset, and look at things the same way. Not because they have equal “power” as OP is suggesting. Sauron underestimates Galadriel in 2x08 because he thought she would not be able to resist his temptation to her. But she did, and that's why she wins that fight. Because it's not a physical battle, it’s a spiritual one. Which is what OP doesn't understand.

In conclusion

The “root” of the problem here is not “what Tolkien wrote” nor a misunderstanding of the legendarium per say, because OP answers what their problem truly is:

“it kinda hurts to see Galadriel's skills in anything being constantly downplayed for propping up Sauron." “How is it so hard to understand that in 2025, most fans don't want to see the female protagonist of TROP artificially "powered up" by Sauron” “giving Sauron more credit than he deserves. Because it's what it is about, isn't it?” “It's tiring (to say the least) to see great characters being so often erased from the narrative for the sake of propping up Sauron.”

Yes, OP we get you are a diehard Galadriel fan and, to put it mildly, you don’t like Sauron’s character that much.

Although I would argue you created your own version of Galadriel, but that proud and shameless Galadriel we saw in Season 1 is exactly what she'll have to contain moving foward. Her character arc in Tolkien legendarium is very much "anti-feminist", actually. She'll have to bury her true nature alongside her darkest desires, which is why she gets pardoned by the Valar at the end. Ironically, “Dark Galadriel” happening would be the most feminist scenario for her character. 

Your argument is “as Sauron himself would say, you think too much of him!”, while you think too little. Your headcanon is that Galadriel is more powerful than she actually is, as in having “power”. When that’s not the point of why she’s wins against Sauron’s temptations, or even what his true purpose is in the story. It’s a theological conflict.

Sauron giving her part of his power would be her greatest temptation yet, actually. And if he did give her power, she accepted it. Because free will is a major theme in Tolkien legendarium. She already accepted being connected to him because Ósanwë has already been introduced to Galadriel’s plot in 2x08, by Sauron (and after he stabs her with the crown). OP is either pretending it didn’t or doesn’t know what Ósanwë is. And this is what Dr. Corey Olsen will explain to the fandom if “blood binding theory” proves correct.

This right here is probably the most important exchange in Galadriel’s plot in “Rings of Power”. This scene gives you her entire character arc in the legendarium. This is a conflict present in every character; a choice between good and evil, light and dark, God (Eru and the Valar) and the Devil (Morgoth and his “satanic satellite” Sauron).

I see PJ “inventions” mentioned quite a lot in these posts, while being used to somewhat prove how “powerful” Galadriel is. And this a contrived argument, because it seems to me, OP wants to have their cake and eat it, too. They want to prove Galadriel is “powerful” while using “Elf Witch Galadriel” but then calling it a Peter Jackson fabrication the next minute (the same with Arwen).

Pick your battles, OP. Because this doesn’t make any sense. You either support Peter Jackson choices or you don’t. You say Peter Jackson choices are not based in anything Tolkien wrote, so why are you using them to make points? “If she was dark, she wouldn't have cast Sauron out with the light of Earendil, she would have tapped in the dark powers she supposedly got from Sauron”. Or even about Arwen: “She doesn't need a conspiracy theory to be true to be able to kick the Nazgul's ass and to summon the waters that protect Rivendell.”

“Most fans” also didn’t want for many plots to happen in RoP, but they did, because we are not the ones writing the show. But I don’t let “what I want” and “what I don’t want” blind me when I’m theorizing about the show, which is the mistake many make. Otherwise my theories would be very different. And quoting OP “Because it's what it is about, isn't it?”, you don’t like it, and you don’t want it.

[martinkhall]

Just caught the most recent episode of Doctor Who. I was under the impression it was coming out next week. Here are a few theories I have about what's going on with Belinda Chandra.

Timelord. Probably using a chameleon arch. That's my main theory because she used the word TARDIS before the Doctor did. Likely a Timelord that long term viewers will know.

As others have noted her calling herself The Nurse when she realizes The Doctor is his name is reminiscent of the rogue Timelord habit of taking a title instead of a name.

Three likely candidates.

Susan: Of course she called it the TARDIS before he did, she named it.

The Rani: She would finally be played by a woman of Indian descent to go with the Indian derived name. Sarah Jane Adventures also featured a character named Rani Chandra. Yes, Chandra is a common Indian surname but that's also the kind of hint the writers have liked to drop in the past. See the multiple times The Master or Master was used as an anagram in the name of a character or a thing related to a character who later turned out to be The Master.

The Master: The previous season saw the tooth he was trapped in picked up by a mysterious figure. They can't hold back on him too long after that tease.

Belinda is an usual name these days, looking it up I found sites claiming it's meaning as "pretty one" but more thematically appropriate for The Master "serpent", "beautiful snake", "bright serpent", or "bright snake".

While sites telling you what names mean should be take with a grain of salt if a writer is looking to give a name significant meaning they will likely be looking at similar sources to the ones I found by just asking a search engine what the name meant.

Chandra incidentally is also the name of the Hindu god of the moon, also known as Soma. I don't currently relate that to any of my theories (focusing instead on Rani Chandra pointing me the direction of The Rani) but maybe someone else can make something of that.

But while The Master has many serpentine qualities (especially as relates to the Biblical serpent) the snake related meanings of her name point me in another direction to theorize. One of the Pantheon of Discord that RTD has been playing with lately.

No, not Sutekh who I'm sure we're done with. For the moment at least. No, I'm talking about The Evil Ones. The Father of Lies. God of Beasts.

Mara: They were mentioned last season. According to tardis.fandom.com "It spread itself by manifesting within the Dark Places of the Inside, but it required a host in the real world before it could appear in its true, snakelike form."

I'm currently considering this the least likely as she currently shows no symptoms of Mara possession (although we have not seen her arm).

"Those possessed by the Mara developed a snake mark on their arm and had reddened eyes and teeth and the ability to share voices between themselves. In one case, they developed red, moulted skin. They had access to the Mara's hive mind and could be returned control if the Mara so desired, though this was usually done by the Mara to taunt people. The marks themselves could become real Mara, developing like a rash until they burst from the skin and infected anyone they touched."

I would be a fool to ignore the member of the Pantheon that actually takes the form of a snake when a mysterious figure has a name with snake associations though and will be keeping my eye out for signs.

I'm also sure that if any of my theories or anything similar is correct Belinda is currently unaware of it being the case and thinks she's just a normal person. I'm not calling her an active and willing threat and if she turns out to be Susan I'm sure that while she might be pissed at her grandfather for how things ended between them she's not going to become a villain.

The Rani could probably go either way depending on if she's developed more of a conscience since her previous two incarnations. And could be someone he could cooperate with short term to stop something worse. Like one or more members of the Pantheon of Chaos.

And my understanding is that if someone is possessed by Mara the snake thing using them as a host can just be removed.

So only her being The Master would be an almost sure fire villainous threat. (The threat in the case of Mara possession would be the possessing Mara not her.)

[ivycova]

She must be aware of this in order not to follow.

Let's break down that phrase everyone thinks they understand so well:

"Sometimes, to find the light, we first need to touch the darkness."

Though honestly, I'd swap "find" for "define."

Again, it’s about not being able to tell the difference. One is real, the other is just a reflection, a imprint.

This ties back to the idea that evil doesn’t create anything new; it only distorts what’s already there. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist on its own? It’s real in the same way water is real—it’s the medium that reflects the light.

So evil can’t create, only mirror what already exists?

In this sense, light is the ability to see things as they are without changing, despite your nature or the nature of others. It’s a pure mirror that reveals the truth.

Kind of like light itself, a mirror. But the light isn’t the mirror only, but the observer. The one who learns, like Perceval, the knight from Arthurian legend, who has to find the Holy Grail to heal the king and the kingdom. (Ring any bells?) More on this symbolic coherentes in this post.

By the way, the symbol of water is the same symbol of the spirit realm and the afterlife that we see in films like *Blade Runner* or *Dune* by Denis Villeneuve. Water is portrayed as a source of initiation, but at the same time, it's a barrier that separates two worlds — the living and the dead.

Once again, the representation of Good and Evil as a pair — Man and Woman. The woman symbolizes the ability to create life (power? light, the eternal flame of Eru Ilúvatar? inspiration?). And the man, as the one who plants the seed, inspires? motivates? tempts? (guides or implants ideas?). The man's role as the embodiment of Evil/darkness in *LoR* is not entirely clear. But perhaps we can say that he initiates into the unknown, embodying the same element of water.

"He offered me wine, red as a blood moon. He offered me wine, and on that dark and nameless peak, I drank it. I drank it all."

The quote from Adar talking about his initiation in to a darkness from the season 2.

And once again, these contradictory and controversial terminology :

light and good, evil and darkness—words that aren't true synonyms but are often linked, simply because they represent opposing pairs.

Was he truly after that particular power she possessed as a woman/light—the ability to create life (not in the literal sense of childbirth, but symbolically, as light, inspiration, energy, and consciousness)? And perhaps she didn’t value or realize this power within herself?

It’s an interesting thought, that maybe, in a way, he freed her from darkness by taking on that function himself (became a villain), fully allowing her to be herself, embrace her lights within herself?

But of course it's all just a speculations.. eh

Etc..etc..etc...

Realization or the awareness of something is a huge change in a person's consciousness. After that, you won’t be the same as before because you will never— and I mean never—repeat old mistakes again, because you know. Not just some made-up idea or personal decision; no, this is knowledge. And along with knowledge comes peace and confidence. Confidence is the opposite of contradiction. That’s what was boiling in Galadriel's blood from the first season because she had unresolved inner issues with evil within herself, and in the second season, she had unresolved problems with love to the same evil.

If Sauron used love to penetrate her mind and bind them together without her consent, then Galadriel needs to figure out where the evil is and where love is so she can rid herself of those ties to evil without opposing love.

So, the true motivation for fighting against evil is a kind of loyalty to love. And for that, you need to separate one from the other, define it, understand it, and gain confidence. How does confidence come? I think it’s a reward for the trials you’ve been through. And you can’t rush or cheat that process.

Dedicated to the very darkness of Charlie Vikers, Happy Birthday my lovely villain!🎈

yin and yang

chelsea and rick; the white lotus.

Some love stories don’t end in vows.

Some end in silence.

In water.

In ruin.

Rick and Chelsea weren’t exactly the ideal love story.

They were a cautionary tale dressed in gold.

A fire that burned too hot to last.

People said they were perfect together. That kind of perfect that looks good in photos, filtered through sunset and champagne and trips around the globe. But perfect doesn’t mean safe. And beautiful doesn’t mean kind.

They were yin and yang—not in balance, but in entrapment. Rick was the moon, distant and unreadable, always pulling away. She chased. He ran. She roared. He whispered. One was heat. The other was cold.

Chelsea was was the sun, loud and blinding, demanding to be seen.

But yin and yang, when twisted, become a cycle that devours itself. A dance that never ends, just spins faster.

Rick needed to be adored— by her, by everyone. He wore charm like a mask, and underneath was a boy who never felt good enough.

Chelsea needed to disappear. She was tired of being looked at and never seen. Tired of performing softness for men who only wanted to possess her.

So they used each other. Rick used her infatuation and youthfulness to feel powerful. Chelsea used his need to heal him to feel wanted. They called it love, but it wasn’t. It was hunger. It was fear.

They fought like lovers.

They forgave like enemies.

Every kiss had an aftertaste of apology.

Every touch was a wound waiting to reopen.

They brought out the worst in each other. Rick, with his sharp edges, his cruel jokes disguised as flirting, Chelsea, with her desperate need to win even when there was nothing to gain. his silence, his passive vengeance, his way of pulling away just enough to make her chase harder.

They mistook pain for passion. Toxicity for intimacy.

And still—they stayed. Because leaving would’ve meant facing the emptiness they tried to outrun.

So they drank too much. Laughed too loudly. Danced like they weren’t breaking. On that island, they were gods. Untouchable. Untamed.

But gods fall too.

The ocean didn’t care about their drama.

The tide didn’t ask who hurt who first.

It took them both.

There was no spectacle. No climax. Just a moment where they were there—and then they weren’t. Maybe they were fighting. Maybe they were clinging. Maybe they were just too tired to swim. Too tired to keep living and fighting for their love.

Rick, still shouting for her. Chelsea, still quiet.

Both of them sinking.

Still believing, somewhere deep inside, that the other would save them.

Neither knowing how.

Their bodies never washed away in the water. But parts of them remain. In whispers. In that bitter taste when you say, "They were so good together," even though you know better. In the aching silence between two people who used to scream.

They were toxic.

But they were real.

And in a world that praises perfect appearances and punishes raw truth, maybe that’s the saddest thing of all.

They didn’t die because they were evil.

They died because they didn’t know how to live.

Not without hurting. Not without needing.

Not without each other.

Now the ocean holds them.

The yin and the yang.

The chaos and the calm.

The fire and the ash.

They were never going to make it alive.

But God, they tried.

And maybe that's worth remembering.

[sysrep-sorting]

Heya! System here, we've made this blog mostly for lack of other resources, however if we find a better medium we'll likely move it there. The idea is we'll get a character that's system-coded to us (or ones sent to us hopefully one day!) and we'll say how good we think the representation is and add a number of tags so then IF people (or maybe just us in the future LMAO) want to look through for certain characters it'll be easier! Because of tumblr's poor tagging system we'll also indicate if something common is not present for example, Evil Alter Trope! Anyway list of tags for now and examples of what they do:

Canonically Plural, Actually Plural, Kind of Plural, Probably Not Plural, Not Plural

For example, Canonically Plural would be like the Mike System from total drama with canon "Multiple Personality Disorder", Actually Plural would be like Greedling who is like actually two people but isn't pural nessecarily, Kind Of Plural would be like ENA who is like dubious, Probably Not Plural would be like Dirk who as fragmented can be interpreted as plural but doesn't have distinct states, and Not Plural is for characters like Twice or Evil Xisuma who 100% aren't plural but who. give the vibes. make us feel seen.

Evil Alter: No, Evil Alter: Kind Of, Evil Alter: Yes, Evil Alter: Egregious

Whether or not the character fulfills the "Evil Alter" trope. Obvious except like egregious would be distinguished by mal whose just an evil alter but in a show where many characters are also just evil people vs like greed in greedling whose literally a deadly sin. like the being plural itself is evil.

Erase The System: No, Erase The System: Integrated, Erase The System: Kind of, Erase The System: Yes

Whether or not the system hood is removed by the end of the story.

System origins: Traumatic, System origins: Unspecified, System origins: Non-Traumatic, System origins: Possession, System Origins: Fusion

System origins. Where alters appear to originate. This may widely be speculation, so I'll append "implied" or "explicit" for that.

System structure: Parts Of Brain, System structure: Emotions, System structure: Personalities, System structure: Identities, System structure: People

System structure. This is to distinguish series by whether alters are different parts of a mind (e.g. left brain, right brain), different emotions, different personalities (they act different with no difference in preferences/identity), different identities (they act different and have an individual sense of identity), different people (they act differently, have separate memories and separate senses of identity).

One Dimensional Alters: No, One Dimensional Alters: Kind Of, One Dimensional Alters: Yes, One Dimensional Alters: Egregious

Whether or not alters are only defined by one trait/ dehumanised.

Internalised Abelism: None, Internalised Abelism: Somewhat, Internalised Abelism: Yes

Whether or not the system/alters express internalised abelism about their systemhood.

Ableism Rating: Great, Ableism Rating: Good, Ableism Rating: Okay, Ableism Rating: Bad, Ableism Rating: Egregious

How good i think the rep is. This mostly only applies for characters that are rated above Kind Of Plural because you can't really rate how well evil xisuma represents DID.

Enjoyable: Yes, Enjoyable: Kind of, Enjoyable: No

Whether or not we enjoyed the character, regardless of how good the representation was. To Do: - Omori - "Genocide Jack" (what???) - that one dangenrompa bear - Bipper (maybe) - Evil Xisuma (Maybe) - Parasyte - That one chipmunk - Good cop Bad cop - That one plural AA character - .... split........ - Malevolent - The Thinktank

- Moon Knight

[atlas7seo]

The way magic is depicted in The Dragon Prince is something I find really interesting. More specifically dark magic. So hear me out: is it really that evil?

Okay so like I know dark magic is this totally terrible thing that let's Aaravos possess Callum or turns your eyes black and hair white or you have to kill animals for parts!

But if you really think about it, I feel like the issue is more grey than that. Let's deal with the biggest problem with dark magic, you use living things as fuel for it.

I think killing an animal and using it for parts is a normal human practice. Humanity survived because of it. The skin of a pig for parchment, the meat to feed people, the milk of a cow, and the eggs of a chicken. The antlers shed by deer as tools and weapons. The hide of bison for clothing and shelter. Normal things that people don't bat an eye to.

I think people think dark magic is bad because it's mostly been used for evil things but look at the magma titan and it's used as a resource.

I'm not saying that killing things for power is not wrong, I'm just saying the way the story seems to portray primal magic good, dark magic bad seems a lot more straightforward than the issue actually would be.

Logistically for humans everyone around them is "super" in some way. Even if elves don't practice primal magic their heritage gives them abilities. Like being invisible on the full moon or being fire proof. One demographic is specifically inferior to the rest and I feel like that is an understandable motivation for humans to turn to dark magic.

Maybe the humans started by killing elves for parts, but the more realistic angle is that it just started with killing a fish or squishing a bug or lizard or even killing some sort of generic animal. But calling dark magic bad full out seems kind of too black and white. Also, I don't know if it's like canon anymore but I think Moonshadow elves are vegetarian? Like that itself also raises questions.

I really like the dragon prince and it has good morals, but I feel like the black and white nature of dark magic is just a bit of an oversight.

Maybe they touch on the morals more in the story and I forgot, but the way our main cast views it is something that bothers me.

The crazy idea is continued....

Ancient Gateway and the shadow trone (What if...?)

Previous Post: I told you my theory about fuel weaving.That he could really be the gatekeeper.

Originally, this post was supposed to be about the gate, but I thought it was important to talk about the throne itself.

Ancient gateway and Charlie

It will be the ancient gateway itself. It is possible that one person. I mean, he's conscious and he's awfully strong.

The gate is like the moon. The moon is also a separate person from another entity. The moon is connected to certain things.

The biggest evidence of this is the animated video when charlie fixes the gate, but it looks at the queen and closes back.

And then the holes in the cave system got bigger and there were vortexes. And from these holes appear much stronger shadows, which are probably evoked by the gate itself. Since each of these holes can be connected to the gate itself.

Charlie, at this point, must have been very, very angry that the gate was closed. In this way, they cannot use their power. You can't fix the mirror.

What if there's only one way to use the power of the gate?

Cyclum's cane may be the only way to use the gate's power. Since charlie went to the gate without the cane. So she probably doesn't have. What if the cane cyclum only knows where it is. But if we start from the theory that wilson is the ancient king, then that knowledge has long been lost.

But if we assume that the king went to another world and reincarnated. Then it is possible that the cane itself is hidden in the real world.

The past?

In the past, we have seen that the king overused the power of the gate, and the gate turned against them. When everyone became shadowy creatures. Not only ancient civilizations were transformed into shadows, but also minerals and food. That is, everything connected with the power of the gate, since the food, the minerals, the tools were created using the power of the gate. Because of this connection, the gate could influence these beings.

The torch has the power of the moon while the cane has the power of the shadows. Metheus then, for some reason, got into a mirror and the broken. In my mind, the end of the history of ancient civilization has raised many questions. I couldn’t find answers to these questions.

Questions:

If Metheus fought against the darkness that the king unleashed on the people, what made him evil now? - Okay, maybe I just know the answer. - It was the power of darkness itself that changed his mind and probably made her evil.

If she possessed the power of light in the torch, she could have avoided being corrupted by darkness. Only if she used the power of the torch to protect the king from total darkness. On the previous page we saw that Cyclon's eyes became dark, which may mean that he received shadow power, but because of the power of the torch, the transformation process did not go through. We know that the Metheus has turned into a shadow, which proves that the torch could actually only have saved one person. Metheus sacrificed himself and became evil. What if she fought with Cyclon? And then, as a result of the fight, he broke the gate?And you couldn't beat metheus in any other way just by locking him in a mirror? Then the sad king sits on his throne.

The throne in the picture may be proof that he has shadow power and is able to use it. Why?

For he who has no power of shadow shall be held captive.It is worth going through the examples of those who sat on the throne.

Maxwell

Maxwell is a man with no shadow power. He's a wizard who uses the book. In this universe, wizards can be divided into two groups. Object users and those who do not use objects. (For those who do not use objects, they already have some magical power.)

Then, my theory is that since maxwell doesn't have shadow power in the first place. For this reason, the throne chained him to himself. You can use the power of the throne. And this proves that Maxwell does not rule over the throne, but the throne rules over it. It also means that he was only slightly changed by the throne, but what the shadows wanted from him probably fulfilled. Especially since wilson was the last one he kidnapped to the permanent. Since the shadows probably want Wilson.

Charlie

Charlie is different. Because a person who has received shadow power from Metheus. Which also means she's changed his personality . Because of the power she received and could use it. She was able to control the throne. She also changed the appearance of the throne.

Why is this important to the ancient king?

Because if the ancient king did not have shadow power and could not use it. Then the throne would have chained him to himself like Maxwelt. The ancient king have shadow power. That's why the throne looks a little different. The king changed his appearance.

and since the throne did not bind the king he was able to go to another world. What if, in the real world, the king made friends with people?

The king may have told people about his own world. There may be people who are aware of the constant.

Eg: Wickedbotton, Wanda

Is it possible that the cane is being taken care of by someone so initiated?

We have already seen in one of the animated videos that you can travel with a broken ancient gate. When the survivors traveled to the world of forge. The power of the gate was uncontrollable. Because only the cane can control its power.

What if the last time the king used the broken gate was to travel to another world?

What if the shadows were chasing the king? And then the shadows that chased him locked him in a book? Is that how the codex umbra came about? That would explain what a book like this is doing in the real world. Full of knowledge that comes from the constant. Persecution may even explain why the king had to reincarnate. He may have been reincarnated because he didn’t want to die.

I also found sentences that could prove that the ancient king actually wilson.

You see this well for the first time, but you already know how it works.

Workin again.... - The end of the sentence strongly suggests that in the past this tool worked very well. It would be good if it worked again. But the character himself doesn't really know why he's saying that, so he stops saying the sentence and just stops.

Strongest urge - This sentence basically tells you how the machine itself works. Do you have a strong urge to do this because you’ve done it a lot in the past? And then that feeling just stayed in your subconscious?

This is a very good way to show how confused Wilson is. Very happy at the beginning of the sentence. Finally, we have the knowledge to build this structure. But then he follows a phrase that somehow makes me very, very familiar. Why would he be familiar with a ancient old machine? Did you put that together before?

and finally the gardener's hat. At first glance there is nothing special about it. Everyone is fooling with him. But the garden hat was originally invented by Wilson. Then, if Wilson invented this device, why is it possible to create one at the ruins? (I know from a playful point of view it's just an unnecessary update. But if you look at the story itself, you can back up something very important.)

And I think Wendy’s point is that there’s something wrong. Because the ancient gardeneer's hat is familiar to him for some reason. Can be a child character and what she says is not 100% sure.

But we know who invented the gardeneer hat. Wilson built this before they went down to the ruins.

And these sentences only support my theory that Wilson is the ancient king.

This is my crazy idea. What if...?

[sy-tech]

Alright, so as part of a private project to literally condense everything (Meaning lore and history) Castlevania related into notes for my own reference when writing fanfiction. (Or even just talking about the series because I feel like some of y'all will eviscerate me if all I knew was the Animated series...) I get to look through a lot of the old game manuels. Most the time any narrative that those old games had was in the manuel and not the game itself. (Kinda just how games back then worked because I know Fallout even did the same thing. Granted there still WAS a lotta lore in the game itself but there was a whole lot more in the manuals/books and such but I digress...)

Now most of these manual are just as I expected. Really fun and campy writing. More or less aiming to set up the reason why the game is happening however something about CV 3's manual- cracks. me. up.

Just in case the quality drops and you can't read it...

"The time is 100 years before Simon Belmont's birth. The moon burns red overhead and the black clouds loom large on the horizon. All is still and quiet. Only the call of a distant crow stirs the cold night air. Suddenly, thunder roars out of the Morbid Mountains and into the village of Warakiya. Like the yell of an angry giant, the terrible sound shakes homes and shops as if they were sapling branches. But no one blinks an eye. The village is dead calm. For all the people have fled after receiving warnings from the Great Beyond that Count Dracula has assemble a mighty army of evil, and they're poised to march up from the Valley of Graveyards to bury mankind in a Tomb of Terror. Unfortunately, there's no corner on Earth that won't be gobbled up by this bloodthirsty legion of Swamp Dragons, Slasher Skeletons and Forces of the Undead. The last line of defense is you, Trevor Belmont- the forefather of Simon Belmont and the origin of the Belmont Warlord Chromosomes. But your chances are slimmer than Jim. In fact, the only real edge you have over this fang sharpened freak is your power to transform into three different partner spirits: Grant DaNasty, the ferocious Ghost Pirate. Sypha, the Mystic Warlord. And Alucard, Dracula's forgotten son. Each of these spirits will confront you as you fight through 17 possible levels of never-ending fright, including the Haunted Ship of Fools, the Clock Tower of Untimely Death and Curse Castle. You must also possess the strength to wield the mighty Battle Axe and Mystic Whip, which were given to you by the Poltergeist King. So go forth young Trevor into the cold black night, where death lurks around every corner and evil lingers on every stone. And remember, if your courage and cunning are any less than magnificent or if you fail to choose the correct Paths of Fate, you'll be banished to the world of the undead, and zombies will rule until the end of time." - Pg. 4-5. "How to Play Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse"

Once again... if you can't read the text,

Trevor C. Belmont - "Trevor the infamous forefather of Simon Belmont- the mighty warrior who pulverized Dracula in Castlevania and again in Simon's Quest. Trevor has a number of oldie but goodie attack items that have been given to him by the Poltergeist King. These include the Mystic Whip, Battle Axe, Banshee Boomerang, Dagger and Sacred Water. Trevor is also the master of special items. Including a Pocket Watch, Invisibility Potion and the Rosary." - Pg. 8, "How to Play Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse"

Alucard - "As the son of Count Dracula, Alucard once tried to prevent Trevor from accomplishing his mission. However, he reached a point where he could no longer abide by his father's evilness, and is now looking for a partner to help him put an end to his father's wicked plans. A resident of underground tunnels, Alucard attacks with a Ball of Destruction, which he can also fire in three directions (if he captures a special power booster.) Alucard's primary strength, though, is his ability to turn himself into a bat. However, he cannot attack while he is airborne and will turn back into a human form if his wings are clipped by an evil enemy." - Pg. 8, "How to Play Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse"

Grant DaNasty - "Count Dracula used his sinister powers to turn this Pirate Captain into a ghost. And as one of Dracula's gruesome gang, he will attack you from the top of the Clock Tower of Untimely Death. However, if you can defeat this scoundrel, his spirit will join you. He's small, nimble and has a strong spring in his step, so he's able to jump up onto walls or ceilings and stick to them like glue. Grant's primary attack weapons are an axe and a dagger. Another of his weapons is his skill to scurry along hidden routes not accessible to Trevor. Unfortunately, both his body and ego bruise easily." - Pg. 9. "How to Play Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse"

Sypha Belnades - "Sypha, the Mystic Warlord of Warakiya, is also a vampire hunter who walks quickly and carries a big stick. Rumors of his death were spread throughout Eastern Europe, but in truth he was captured be "Cyclops", the one-eyed Ultimate Evil. Sypha uses his Warakiya Staff to attack. Other attack favorites of his include flames, frozen crystals and lighting bolts. With these, he can destroy evil enemies before they get close to him. However, his skin is very thin and blisters easily when blasted by grotesque enemy attacks. To score BIG, Sypha must attack before his enemies find him." - Pg. 9, "How to Play Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse"

This game did NOT take itself seriously in the manual. The text feels like someone had a list of keywords they had to hit for each character (They probably did) and the framing is so... campy. I ADORE it.

The look of the character too are just so... stereotypical too. For example, Alucard there? Like I knew that this was his original design but something about viewing an actual PDF of the manual with the corny description just made me smile. Smug bastard. Trevor and Simon basically have the same BarbianTM look. Grant was ripped from being a deckhand and Sypha is so covered it really managed to keep the fact she was a girl till the very end of the game when she lets her hair down. I both adore this and found a new gratitude for the later re-imaging of these characters.

Last little tid-bit is this incredibly classic monster art on page 20-21. They are so goofy! I'd see them in a Goosebumps book! I love it!

The link to the PDF used.

Also found this site that lets you play CV3 in a browser. Probably common knowledge for those of you that have been around for awhile but... I figure I should share it anyway. The only problem I had with it was the audio was a tad distorted.

I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

Ashes of Love rewatch, or, what did I miss first time round because I'd never seen a cdrama before:

Eps 1-6

Jinmi is not dressed differently to the other flower fairies because she is the main character, she is dressed that way because grapes are masc

This show set my benchmark for number and awesomeness of female characters in a xianxia that was not met again until Love Between Fairy and Devil

(Pictured: Princess Suihe, chief of the bird tribe, and her sword girlfriend bodyguard, ready to give the senior flower fairy a beating)

The Empress!!! And her manipulative big-eyed facial expressions and perfectly evil little pout <3 <3 <3 Again, benchmarks were being set here and as the Fated Mates crew would put it, buttons installed

*In my loudest middle-aged bisexual voice*:

She's hot!

Various puns are now making sense, like repay/hug (bao/bao) and the "pork" eggs

The Tree!!! Sex tree you will always be famous to me!

While Sexual Harassment Uncle's sleaze was clear, the extent of the possessiveness over Jinmi in the convo between Xufeng ("I can smell her cultivation on you") and Yanyou ("Yeah because we're buddies") was not obvious to me first time round, e.g.

Just 自己人 being pals, swapping cultivation, you know! (Pictured in background: sex tree)

Official language propaganda (because if you don't speak it, how are we supposed to know you're not an idiot??? duh)

The extreme whiplash of the patriarchy reasserting itself after Jinmi gets forcefemmed starts to present as female. She's exactly as lazy a palace attendant as before but now her colleague reads that as so slutty it gives him a nosebleed. Xufeng immediately reads romantic intent into her speech and behaviour, which has not changed at all, except now she's wearing a dress. The only person treating her the same after the outfit change is Sleazy Uncle Matchmaker the Moon Immortal, and that's because he's straight up said Jinmi should bang Xufeng since the very beginning

The translations are doing their best but the scale of the casualness of how Jinmi addresses people just isn't as obvious in translation. I was missing out on character dynamics by not knowing how much potential insult there is in the way she addresses Xufeng (道友 daoyou, after she rescues him, which is what, "person who is going the same way as me"?) and Runyu (a dragon, who she saw chilling in the pond with his tail out and decided he was a fish, and instead of being offended he just never corrected her). Runyu especially, I can see now there are whole essays to be written about how he lets Jinmi address him as "fish immortal" and what it means for his character (self esteem issues much, bro?) and his attitude toward Jinmi (the casualness and disrespect implying a degree of intimacy between the two of them that is not unwelcome to him)

First time around I thought the costumes were amazing but with 5 years of cdrama under my belt now I see they are merely competent, and that's ok too!

18+, Edge x Randy Orton one shot

[Also available on Archive of Our Own!]

Tags: Declarations of love, crying during sex, fluff/smut, creampue

Word count: 1468

Summary:

Edge tells Randy he loves him, then shows him just how much he does.

It’s another day and another practice session in the ring. Edge and Randy are finishing up a run with John Cena and Shawn Michaels for an upcoming pay-per-view show. Everyone is pouring sweat, not only from the exertion of the match but the fact that it’s a million degrees outside and on top of that, the arena’s AC unit is busted. The practice goes smoothly enough with Edge practically beaming with admiration at Randy’s performance. His partner was only getting better with time. 

Edge watches Randy as he wipes his drenched face off with a towel. It’s a simple movement, one that usually wouldn’t call any attention to itself. Edge is a man possessed though, so anything his partner does makes his heart swell (along with his dick-- whoops). 

“Shawn still moves pretty well for an old man."

It's a cheap rib on Randy's part. Edge knows there's no vitriol behind it because he's seen Randy at his meanest, when his words bubble from somewhere evil and rarely shown to the light of day.

“Oh give him a break, he’s not that old.” 

“Elderly. Ancient. Decrepit. He’s been in the ring almost as long as I’ve been alive.”

"Decrepit, nice. Did you pull that one from your word-a-day calendar?" 

"Fuck off," Randy laughs, all smiles and sparkles in his eyes. Edge's heart skips a beat when he hears the joy in Randy's voice.

Randy climbs back in the ring, back turned away from Edge to look at the Titantron. The production team is cycling through various entrances to make sure they’re working fine. This is the kind of stuff that catches Randy’s attention from time to time; he’ll stop what he’s doing and just focus, even if whatever he’s focusing on is relatively mundane. The expression on his face steels, his eyes narrow, he’s on alert. Edge likes it when he gets like this, can see the future makings of a menace in the young man. 

Production has had to start Hulk Hogan’s entrance a few times. The music in his intro is busted. Randy turns away from the giant screen, bored with the shenanigans, to be faced with Edge racing towards him, spearing him flat on his back with a loud thud. 

“Jesus you really got me there,” Randy smiles wide. Edge smiles back at him, blinded by the sunny sight of him happy. He hopes to make him smile more often with their little inside jokes and ribs. 

“Always, Randy,” Edge runs a hand through his hair, cocking his head to the side. Fuck it, it was now or never. 

He startles himself with the force in which he grabs each side of Randy’s face. He has to hold onto him tight, really straddle his body to make sure he doesn’t run away. Randy’s expression shifts into something Edge has only seen one in a blue moon— he’s startled by the sudden passion. It’s adorable, he’s such a babyfaced boy with his sparkling eyes and pouty lips. Like a little cherub, Edge's sweet angel. Edge’s heartbeat thunders in his ears. God, what a feeling— love has never quite been this honest for him before. 

“I love you, Randy Orton. I can't imagine life without you.” 

“I— what?” 

Edge knew he was being a little much at the moment. He could be so intense in the way he showed affection. One of the makeup girls told him he's like that because he’s a Scorpio (whatever that means). 

“I said…” A kiss on Randy's forehead, soft and warm. “That…” Lips pressing against Randy’s, urgent and deep. “I. Love. You. I love you. I love—“

“Iloveyoutoo.”

Randy says the words in one big rush, slamming them all together like he was worried they were gonna float away. From the way his lashes flutter and his cock begins to get hard against the inside of Edge’s thigh, Edge knows he means it. And that he’s nervous as hell. 

“Maybe we should get out of here before I rip these little trunks right off you.”

Splotches of red dot Randy’s cheeks. Edge restrains himself from kissing them, knowing that once he gets started it’s hard for him to stop.

 

---

“Don’t run from me, baby. You’re being so good.”

Edge runs his hand through Randy’s hair, scratching his scalp lightly. It makes Randy shiver every time. When Randy chews on his bottom lip to keep from moaning too loudly, Edge shakes his head. The man writhing around below would be the death of him. A slow, lazy pace is set by Edge's hips. Randy is so incredibly warm around him, it's hard to move any faster, even if he wanted to. No, the steady smooth glide of filling Randy up, then dragging himself out, feels like heaven on earth.   

“I wanna hear you.”

“No,” Randy whimpers, then clamps down his lips and clamps down his eyelids, seemingly overwhelmed. It’s nice to see him at a loss for words for once. 

“Please? For me, angel?”

Edge knows he's being syrupy sweet now, so unlike himself. He can't help but to beg, calling Randy cutesy names that he'd punch Edge out for in any other context. Randy seems to bring that side out of him.

"Again… call me that again…"

Randy's fingers tangle roughly into Edge's hair, his body lurching into his. He loves his hair; he's always grabbing at it when they fuck. This isn't fucking though, far from it. Randy always thought it was gross when older people used to say they were "making love"-- now he understands what they mean. To call this fucking debases it into something dirty, animalistic even. It's love, he thinks. Edge is showing him pure, unadulterated love.

"You're an angel Randy. You're my angel, I love you..." Edge chants, prayer occupying his broken voice. As badly as he wants to stick his tongue down Randy's throat, it's much too obscene for the moment. He instead restrains his unseemly instincts to give Randy what he truly deserves-- a kiss that's loaded with all of the words unsaid, the passion that he deeply feels for him.  Soft, but not necessarily gentle. Enough to make their heads spin, to make Randy reach down and touch himself.

"I love you too, fuck, I--"

It's divine intervention when they both come undone at the same time. Randy sobs when he releases, hot tears running down his immaculate cheekbones. When his face is all flushed and twisted up like this, he reminds Edge of a Greek statue, a testament to his beauty that he’s gorgeous under extreme emotions. Pure bliss captures Edge as he comes deep inside of Randy. He's the only one who's ever marked Randy in that way, intertwining them forever and ever. 

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I won’t tell anybody. Your secret’s safe with me,” Edge chuckles lightly in Randy’s ear, then nips it with his teeth. "Crybaby.”

Petulance returns to Randy in a crushing wave. Edge knows exactly what buttons to push to make him get all defensive. Even though he tries to seem upset that his vulnerabilities are being exposed, Edge sees relief too in him.

“I’m not a crybaby.” 

“Oh yeah? Then what do you call this?” With one swipe under Randy’s tear soaked eye, the pad of Edge’s thumb is completely wet. He holds it up to Randy to gauge his reaction. 

“Whatever,” Randy tries to cross his arms in annoyance. 

“Mm-hmm,” Edge sticks his thumb into his mouth while he digs his fingers into Randy’s hip, pressing him into the mattress and holding him there. His eyes shift down to look at the way Randy’s cock is already half hard again. It’s a valiant effort, a real boost to Edge’s ego. 

“You’re so weird,” Red splotches return to color Randy's cheeks.

It's unfair that Edge has to pull himself out of Randy, but he does so as slowly as possible. He's absolutely dying to see his work, his pièce de résistance …

"Oh, it's beautiful. Look at that."

"What? Are you looking at my asshole?"

"Of course I am."

Edge is mesmerized as his come streams out of Randy. It's moving down his crack, about to run onto the bedspread. With a lightning-fast swipe of his tongue up Randy's crack to against his hole, he cleans him up before Randy can even react fully.

"Fuck, you-- you almost put your tongue in there!" 

"Almost," Edge grins. "I can if you want me to." He flicks the tip of his tongue around the bunched up nerves of Randy's hole, tasting his own come.

Randy shudders, at full mast again. Would it really be so bad…? 

"Absolutely the fuck not, that's disgusting."

"Hmm okay, suit yourself then crybaby."

Edge moves away from Randy in a flash, narrowly avoiding being hit with one of the bed's heavy pillows.

[karistiltskin]

i don’t care that the lakes is only now getting its recognition i just care that it’s about MERLIN and ARTHUR.

little teeny tiny analysis incoming:

“Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me

I’m not cut out for all these cynical clones

These hunters with cell phones”

First of all, this is set in Merlin’s POV. The first line talks about Merlin becoming a myth and how he’s praised as the most powerful wizard alive. He is a staple as the start of “magic” and “wizardry” after his legacy is passed on. The use of the term “romantic” seems sarcastic as if he’s saying “isn’t it romantic that after my kind was hunted down and killed for believing to be evil, now I’m the optimum of good? Shouldn’t i be over the moon from this appreciation?”

Moving on to the second and third verse, “cynical clones” and “hunters with cell phones” refers to modern time. These people have twisted Merlin’s story, didn’t get it right, missed out on details, and changed him. Because his history is not correct he feels uncomfortable but is also placed in a position where he cannot clarify or speak out on it because he’s supposed to be, well, dead. People are using his story for fame and no one is receiving the truth. It’s just been turned into a myth to be broken apart, analyzed, and criticized.

“Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die

I don’t belong, and my beloved, neither do you

Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry

I’m setting off, but not without my muse”

(only doing the chorus once)

if the first line doesn’t speak for itself I don’t know what does. Merlin is a poet!! He is. A quick google search for the definition of poet reads: “a person possessing special powers of imagination or expression.” hello??? We all knew he was good with words whether it came from enchantments, comforting words to his friends, his followers, or when speaking about himself. “special powers”—he is magic. “imagination”—he creates, he is creation.

He is the original poet who went to the lakes, not necessarily to die, but the other half of his soul was taken from him there.

Now, Merlin of course believes Arthur was not meant to die. He doesn’t belong there. He belongs at Merlin’s side. The lakes = Avalon and Merlin did not ever want to go there in the situation that Arthur may die. The both of them weren’t meant to wait for their purpose to begin again at Avalon when “Camelot needed Arthur most.” They were supposed to stay together in the time of a human life span and their story was supposed to continue.

“Windermere peaks.” I’m not gonna dive too much into this so here’s one word: England

The last line is that Merlin could not have stayed at the lake forever. I mean he could’ve but, I don’t think he would. So he lives his life in the most physical sense he can. He does go to visit Avalon tho and his life, his soul, doesn’t restart until Arthur’s does. He carries Arthur with him everywhere at all times, and he doesn’t forget that as he leaves Avalon and he never forgets the reason why as he also goes BACK to Avalon. Also, Arthur being Merlin’s muse>>> I mean, the whole “my magic. i use it for you. it was supposed to be yours.” EVERYTHING Merlin did was for Arthur.

“What should be burrowed under my skin

In heart-stopping waves of hurt

I’ve come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze

Tell me what are my words worth”

The first two lines refer to his early life in Camelot. Moving there, making friends, growing in his magic, Arthur, trust, betrayal, his lessons. He thinks because so much time has passed (he’s immortal) he should at least be over it or it should stop hurting but it doesn’t. It stays with him. It’s a part of him and who he is.

Now for the next two lines. Although the past will linger in him, he does grow and become wiser over the years. He has so many experiences and has lived through so many lifetimes and is still finding the strength to continue. But he’s had to watch people get his life absolutely wrong, the narratives of his friends and enemies, his character, etc. I like to think Merlin dropped some real pieces of evidence of the truth in a manuscript or a symbol or anything but the ones who found it, abused it. Instead of appreciating art and life they looked for the income and how to profit off it.

“I want auroras and sad prose

I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet

‘Cause I haven’t moved in years

And I want you right here”

Merlin finds memories in the hurt. He finds comfort in it. He wants to stay in the past because as much as it pains him, it was a time where he was the most happy.

Wisteria = a plant that can live for centuries (symbolism: resilience and longevity)

“help i’m still at the restaurant.” is Merlin. He has not moved on at all, that poor soul. He wants Arthur forever but also ALIVE and physically, mentally, emotionally with him.

“A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground

With no one around to tweet it

While I bathe in cliffside pools

With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief”

Merlin has a shield around him. Actually, plural, shields. His pain, anger, and hurt made him become this shell. But the red rose, his love, it’s still there. Always there. His love for Arthur and his narrative is still ongoing and no one knows. It’s his to keep.

His “calamitous love” and insurmountable grief” although sounds horrid are both stemmed from the purest thing he has. His love. It’s so passionate because he feels and cares so much. So his love is used as a metaphor with cliffside pools and the water in it because it (his love) overflows and spills over (i think? do cliffside pools do that?)

OKAY I’M DONE. mostly cause im tired, it’s 3:26 am, and im fried. the keyboard has been smashed quite enough and this makes one lengthy tumblr post (i can write more). i don’t even know if most of it makes sense i just wanted to get it out there.

also don’t take this too literally of course there are a million interpretations to this song, i associate it far more than just an immortal warlock and a dead king, as well as my opinions. I just wanted to share a little bit of where my mind was going. just a little.

props to you if you read this, thank you, and thank you bbc merlin

Kirbtober 2024 Companion Pieces - Week Four

A companion lore piece to the ongoing Kirbtober, using the list by @paintpanic. You can see the full art collection for this week here.

Day 21: Rival

Keen readers may have known that in the old bios of Meet the Cast, Bandana Dee and Robobot Armor consider each other friendly rivals. But their rivalry used to be a bit more hostile, which reeks its ugly head at some point in the war...

At least, they get along very well nowadays, and once Robobot Armor got their body back it was friendly rivalry to the max. They both DEFINITELY attempt to beat the crap out of each other in the name of training. I bet they tie a lot.

Day 22: Ship/Hangout

I probably have never mentioned this, but every Valentines Day, Ribbon discreetly sends Kirby Valentines Day's Chocolate, with the vice versa happening on White Day. But of course, the two didn't want anyone to know about this *ahem* chocolate exchange. So the result is... they both had to sneak to make a beeline to the post office to give/receive their gift. It's like a spy movie except it's mundane as hell. But hey... since everyone CAN see how hard they are crushing about each other... I don't think this is necessary...

...they still do it discreetly tho. NOOOOOOO.

Day 23: Wish

Ah, Marx.

Poor guy.

So, regarding the NME - they love targeting those who feel weak to join them in hopes of, well, making use of them. Noddies are certainly included (I follow game canon for these f^ckers) and Marx's family are... uh...

A powerhungry scientist who experimented himself with Scarfy blood and a rich woman who supplies Nightmare with her funds are certainly, uhm, a freaking problem. Marx was made into a guinea pig who knows nothing but whatever propaganda his family feeds him regarding Nightmare and how they want Marx to impress or even surpass him. This is what led to events of Milky Way Wishes.

Fortunately, Marx's in a better place now...

...alive, you idiots! I didn't kill him! He's now owner of a prank shop in Dreamland!

Day 24: Another Dimension

Halcandrans aren't necessary native from Halcandra. They are just named Halcandrans because... they all live there. Apparently they were scattered throughout Halcandra somewhen after the big war between them and the Jambastians.

By the way, did you know Magolor isn't fully evil in this AU initially - a series of misunderstandings and curses led to the tricky scenario that is Return to Dreamland, but that's a story for another day...

Day 25: Epilogue

A drawing based on this doodle page and this part of the story. Yes, this is kinda a redraw? Look, I had to whip this very quickly, I got tired...

But hey... they are happy... at least... reunited, but at what cost...?

Day 26: Moon

Kabuki ability, eh. We did give lore regarding this ability in two entries of last year's Kirbtober, but I suppose some additions are worth throwing in.

So, when I said it was the GSA dividing the power into scrolls... it was the Moon Warriors. Wait, so what are Star Warriors then? Well, in this AU Star Warriors are not magical or anything, in fact there are Sun and Moon Warriors, but perhaps that part of the GSA's a discussion for another day... so let's just know that the Moon Warriors are a different division from the Star Warriors.

I suppose it makes sense for the Kabuki ability to be associated with the moon outside this information in mind as well - Hypernova has the sun, Technician has the star (which makes it technically the leftover), so...

Day 27: Control

This is not a real in-universe PSA, but I'm very sure the team is tired as sh^t regarding brainwashing stuff, especially when some of their allies are PRIME brainwashing material (LOOKING AT YOU, DEDEDE). And within the team itself, 2 of them got possessed before and one got their body yoinked to do things they wouldn't do once. So uh. Safe to say they HATE this.

[bluemoondemon]

Gonna start filling out character question charts cause there are too many Ruri thoughts in my brain

1. Growing up, Ruri's birthday was always celebrated by going to the moon festival. When he was very little, he thought the festival was his birthday celebration. After becoming a demon, Ruri started celebrating his birthday by watching the sunrise. He's not foolish enough to actually be caught in the direct line of the sun, but will position himself under a window so the rising sunlight comes in above him and hits the opposite wall.

2. Ruri is the most important person in his life. I don't have any other characters aside from his family who could fill that role...

3. On a down day/night, he takes off his Oiran and just wears the Hakama pants. Ruri only has the one style of clothing because it is the most comfortable for him to wear.

4. The temple he lives in was originally fairly run down. It took a while before the villagers went up there and cleaned everything up and fixed it, so it no longer looks abandoned. The ruins of the old Catholic Church and monastery dorms are still present, but in horrible disrepair. The temple itself does not get many visitors outside of New Year's, which suits Ruri very well. The few people who do come by on a regular basis are people complaining about the evil humans in their lives. This is basically a food report for him

5. The kids are his pets, for the short time he has them. Ruri does not dislike animals, but prefers not to keep them around.

6. Alcohol and a good meal raises the spirits

7. Ruri does have frequent depression. He calls them human relapses because they will be accompanied by memories of his parents and uncontrollable crying. The stress associated with being a demon makes him forget these things until it becomes too much then he has a mental break and falls into a depressive episode.

8. Ruri has never seen kabuki theater, but he would love it if he did. A true comedy fan

9. No favorite book for this boy, but he would love romance comedy if he could get his hands on any.

10. Ruri did get along with his parents. He was a mama's boy and a home body, but loved going out on his father's boat when given the chance. Because his parents got along his home life growing up was very nice.

11. I would probably convert Ruri to JJK or MHA universe, mostly because of franchise proximity. Not the biggest fan of either one, but I feel it would make sense for his character.

12. His favorite holiday is the Tsukimi moon festival on August 15th, his birthday

13. There is a mark that will appear and disappear on Ruri's chest. It is a red crescent moon and moonflower, his demon mark.

14. Ruri has never kissed anybody in his life! I cannot yet tell you if that is a lack of trying or just because he's asexual

15. He has loved and lost many people over the course of his life, but most of them have been forgotten.

16. If given three wishes, Ruri's first wish would be to be able to withstand sunlight. His second wish would be the death or destruction of Muzan, and his third wish would be infinite alcohol.

17. If stranded on an island, Ruri he would bring his pipe, his alcohol, his fan, and his hairpin. Whoever's with him is either going to be company or a meal for later.

18. "The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even touched; They must be felt with the heart" Hellen Keller

19. Romance? Honestly, idk. I'd love to start doing RP with Ruri as a character, and involving him with other characters to see if that's even a possibility. Building him by myself I have so little understanding of how he would interact with other people 😓😭

20. Ruri's first language is japanese. He speaks with a Nagasaki accent with a hint of Nanban. He does retain some Dutch, but it only comes out when he's really mad and is borderline unintelligible.

21. His most prized possession is a toss up between the hairpin that used to belong to his mother and his alcohol collection. One of those things is sentimental and the other is just a matter of pride

22. Until becoming a demon, Ruri had never stolen anything in his life. After the fact, he has stolen so many things he's lost count of what was stolen and what was a gift (everything was stolen)

I'll continue to answer more of these questionnaires, but if you have any questions you'd like me to answer, feel free to comment or DM them
