I can't believe The Phantom Stranger hasn't had a good ongoing series since the 70s. How!? The man had such a good supporting cast! Doctor Thirteen and his wife Marie, Cassandra Craft, Deadman, there were a group of teenagers he knew in the early issues, etc. And even his villians aren't talked about enough. Tala and Tannarak are some pretty cool villians. This evil british/egyptian sorcerer and a demoness from hell. Those are some interesting villians. There was many directions you could have taken the stranger, i feel. But he's just a supporting character at best nowadays, which is a shame.

Why yes I am using the Silt Verses to push propaganda for some of my faves 🤭
If you like TSV for its weirdo eldritch gods and cosmic horror most of these would fit.
If you're specifically looking for capitalism-core with a dash of lovecraft type shit The Craft Sequence and The Dead Take the A Train got you.
If you're looking for the Ace/aro Mood while attempting to comprehend the horrors and being persecuted for your creepy fantasy religion try Winter Tide/The Innsmouth Legacy.
You looking for the unhinged queers who do murder in the name of their gods + a middle-aged trans MC who's just trying her best™ No Gods For Drowning might be for you.
Ya like the messed up saints?the body horror?and devastation that the gods in TSV bring? The Black Iron Legacy might do you some good.
Suppressed religions & dangerous gods 2 electric boogaloo aka The Divine Cities. Also got that sweet sweet political intrigue and commentary on colonisers/colonised dynamic among other things.
TWs:violence, death, gore, body horror for most of these. Some sexual references but nothing too graphic, In the Craft Sequence I do remember Three Parts Dead having a non-consenual kiss, can't recall any further SA atm.
I'm bad at explaining but just try them. K thx bye.

They may call it a Summer palace, but it’s actually three different structures joined together. The cathedral is at the top. No way in there except from the palace itself. Below that, the whole place is a maze of secret passages, easy to get lost in. And it’s all built atop a sealed temple to the Old Gods.
#i just want to know more about the connection of this circulum and the summer palace#because it was 'crafted there' and by 'amelia pavus' !!!#the palace is built on top of a temple of old gods - dragons#and they kept a dragon frozen there until the last resort trap wakes him to kill everyone in the palace!!#it began with dragons and ends with them#dragon age#dragonageedit#dragon age absolution#daedit#dragon age absolution spoilers#rezaren ammosine#rezaren dragon age#tassia dragon age#and then how did the divine come to the circulum? did he got it from the pavus family? 'it was lost in politics and history'#and then someone who 'seeks it'!! which is also cassandra the seeker (possibly to keep it safe from wrong hands)#i just hope either s2 or da4 will touch upon this bc it seems even more connected to dragons finally and if now they let this dragon go-#i have this small hope that in da4 the dragons could become more.. friends with whoever will be the main character then#its called dragon age ffs.. let me befriend them OTL#im sure theres gonna be some connection between this artifact (or what comes after this story) the dragons as first gods and solas and elves#mine#gif:da#daa spoilers

#i will post abg the rest of the badkids later cuz i love them but#everyone being agast and scandalized by kristen being an asshole to her god must not have watched the first few seasons?#really and truly did you expect her to change??#ppl were speculating her dumping/being on the rocks w cassandra since 2020 this is not new information this is just how she is#AND I FEEL BAD FOR CASSANDRA genuinely i do! of course she doesnt deserve to be ignored or mistreated after all shes been thru!#after all kristen promised her!!#but kristen applebees is like 16 maybe 17 years old a fucking teenager who was literally made into a holy figure by her home church#or the church of helio#all that pressure at a young age gave her irrevocable religious trauma#she crafted a god from scratch one specifically made for HER to worship and even that wasnt enough#shes super flawed!!! but i dont see the point in jumping her about it yk 🤷#thought bubbles#fantasy high#kristen applebees

My ideas for a Phantom Stranger/Destiny/Madame Xanadu series pt. 1: The origin of Madame Xanadu:
Now, let's look at the other side of the coin. Let's discuss the origin of Madame Xanadu (or my personal take on it). Madame Xanadu is immortal, and she was granted that gift as recompense for what the world tried to do to her. Born the child of a Romani Fortune Teller and her demonic lover, the child named Urania Kothari learned all the tricks of the magical trade from her skilled mother. But growing up in a time where both romani and non-christians were heavily persecuted, Urania had to be taught to hide her skills with the magical forces all around us.
Still, she found love. While blending in, she met an odd young man named Jason Coledridge who was fascinated by her powers and beauty. They fell in love, and even eloped in secret. It was a fairy tale romance, but one that was fated never to be. For you see, Jason's father was the town's chief priest. And when he learned his son had married a "gypsy witch woman", he formed an angry mob set to burn Urania alive.
But while the mob came to burn Urania alive, a bitter and ironic twist of fate meant that Jason died with Urania and her mother. Jason died at the hands of his own father, who had been driven to the point of pure hatred and fanaticism. It's a sad story, one of lost love and religious persecution. But it isn't the end of the tale of Urania Kothari.
Although one holy group and their vindictive God may have turned against her, clearly someone out there in one of the other pantheons had their eyes on Urania. Because instead of dying, she merely fell unconscious in a death like sleep. And when she finally woke up, she was in her current occult shop. A telepathic message from one of the local celtic deities revealed that they had spirited Urania away to colonial america and hidden her away in a new shop. She would assist people with her magic, and she would do it under an alias.
She chose the alias of Madame Xanadu. Xanadu for the ancient palace of Kublai Khan, which always had an association with mysticism (ever since ancient europeans were baffled by tales of chinese culture and it's advancements). Under her new name, she has lived for centuries. And now you might understand why she would take in the Phantom Stranger and Destiny after an unkind god stripped them of their powers. She, too, was condemned by that selfsame vindictive god, and she would never leave anyone to suffer the way she did.
So now the phantom stranger and destiny are living with madame xanadu, while they try to work out all the details of their past and while they try to find a way to restore their powers. So if this were a real comic, all three of them would be the stars. And since the phantom stranger is the only one with a real supporting cast, we'd probably have doctor thirteen and cassandra craft show up in this series. Maybe cassandra could get a job as madame xanadu's assistant?
This concept could also serve as a great lead in to a Justice League Canada Dark style book. With Madame Xanadu, the Phantom Stranger and Destiny, we'd only need at least two or three more to have a round five or six initial team members. Perhaps Cassandra Craft and Deadman would work? Maybe Etrigan or Zatanna or something too?

Currently at the top of my witchy reading list: 'Welsh Witchcraft: A guide to the Spirits, Lore, and Magic of Wales' by Mhara Starling and 'Queering Your Craft: Witchcraft from the Margins' by Cassandra Snow.
Though I have listened to the audiobook version of 'Welsh Witchcraft' already, I wanted a physical copy to support Mhara and to more easily follow the exercises (rereading lines is easier than fiddling with Spotify imo).

[ Headcanon ] A MOTHER'S EXPERIENCE .
Cassandra isn't unaware of the dangers of Zaun, in fact, when she was younger, around eighteen and a rebellious daughter of House Kiramman, she decided to take a trip to Zaun. She, too, felt the hint of the thrill of it that her mother never engaged in, she wanted to see the streets and find something of interest. To grab at her very heart and take her for an experience. Zaun wasn't like Silco's Zaun, it was still inherently violent and dangerous if one wasn't careful.
The Piltovan elite had no idea what she was stepping into. She had been curious and wanted to see what the whole hype about the undercity and her mother demanded never to cross the bridge. The place was to be seen, but never heard from. Still, Cassandra wanted to know! What if they had something of use, what if they could provide more for Piltover? What commerce and political gain could be extended to help them? So despite all the rules, Cassandra descended into the city, wanting to go to the shop that she had heard from one of the Zaunites topside.
However, along the way, Cassandra was attacked. She had never been taught how to fight back, she knew how to handle a rifle but she didn't bring it with her. Cassandra had been stabbed with a bladed hand and her money ripped from her clutches. It left the councillor's heiress shaken when she was young (before she was a councilor). No one helped her, as she limped back through the streets, the way she was ignored, and scowled at, even the children running from her; no one cared she was bleeding all over their ground. Her mother had the best physician and doctors tended to her, stitching up the stab wound on her right abdomen and a hardened lesson.
Zaun was dangerous; it was filled with thieves and killers and dangers no one could anticipate. At that point, Cassandra no longer saw interest in Zaun, her adventuring and rebellious nature immediately quenched like a fire doused by water. At that point, Cassandra's eyes no longer saw interest in Zaun but only the dangers within. She understood why her mother often told her not to deal with the undercity as they were filled with monsters and animals; the savage nature of that city was not for the cultured Piltovans.
Cassandra's hardened views made her determined to protect Caitlyn from that city. It's why she's suspicious of anyone who is a Zaunite and why she curses them under her breath. It's why, when she stated to the council, that "the undercity cannot be controlled by us," and his displeased appearance of Vi when Caitlyn brought her home. To Cassandra, the undercity is its city and she not be interfered with. They are their people, and Piltover should stay on its side. It is why she was so headstrong in protecting Caitlyn from the dangers of the undercity and the threats that linger down there.
She is not coming from an ignorant standpoint. Cassandra was in the undercity, she saw its people, and she witnessed its violence firsthand. She knows of it and what it stands for and she actively tries to protect Piltover and her daughter from the dangers there. There is no surprise when she finds out about the violence nor does she have an interest in providing a working setting between them. The undercity is its own and Piltover is its own; that is how she believes it should be. And Most of all, she wants her daughter nowhere near it out of worry that she might become a victim of the violence.
#[muse] caitlyn — headcanons.#at this point I might as well write Cassandra XD#but kind of gives more on Cassandra's past#and why she is the way she is#I want Cassandra not to be viewed as a toxic parent or anything#cause I don't see her that way#but her overprotectiveness comes from somewhere#and this plus the multiple other headcanons I crafted#gives reason why she is this way#and why she views Zaun in a negative viewpoint#At the heart of it Cassandra wants the best for Caitlyn#she wants her safe and loved and protected#and what parent doesn't what that?
