SPOILERS FOR CH 253 OF AKATSUKI NO YONA/ YONA OF THE DAWN MANGA

I drew this panel in my own style

This is actually my first fanart of akatsuki no yona ever. It's really surprising since this is actually my favorite series of all time, and ive been following this manga since 5-6 years ago, possibly more. I honestly felt like I had to make it considering what happened in said chapter

no text version vvv

in my opinion, because i literally grew up with these characters throughout the years, and reading their journey up until now, this hurts me more than what happened so far in Twisted Wonderland's book 7 (my other main fandom im in rn)

just a tad more (lies, THIS HURTS A LOT MORE BC ITS JUST BEEN OVER A YEAR OF ANGST BEING BLASTED IN MY FACE)

Sorry if the quality of my sketch isnt up to par with the original

As stated before, ive never drawn any fan art for this fandom before this point, and it's currently 3:38 am for me

[poupeesdecirque]

"I'll protect you with my life".

Literally.

I have a lot of thoughts regarding the chapter, I want to update some of the theory posts I made back this year but real life eats me. So have this little art until I am able to go deeper again.

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FOUND FAMILY?!

MY HAPPY HUNGRY BUNCH??!?!?!

the moment i've been waiting for 🔥🔥🔥

Gonna just sit here and stew on this forever. Suho feels like his parents' death was a failing on his part, and now as Lloyd he's desperate to not let his meddling in the narrative be the reason for the count and countess's deaths

[lloydfrontera]

berkis seems to be so powerful do you think he will able to do something like return og!lloyd and suho back to their original bodies? bring suho's original body to their world? and stop the restoration of fate? ignoring the if he isn't a lazy bum that will find this situation bothersome, but do you think berkis has these abilities?

nope! stopping the restoration of fate is one of the very few things that berkis can't do, not because he's a lazy bum but because it's actually out of his reach

Altering the path of fate was not an easy task. No, it was almost impossible. Like an overly tight bowstring, no matter how much you attempted to yank adn stretch it to change its shape, it returned to its original form as soon as you let your hands go. "That is the phenomenon called the restoration of destiny," explained Berkis dully. "That is how tenacious destiny is. And its restoration power is formidable." [...] "Then what am I supposed to do to stop destiny?" Lloyd felt dizzy as he heard these words. "I don't know," blurted Berkis nonchalantly. "Excuse me?" Lloyd's brow lifted. "Didn't you hear me? I don't know." "Wow." Lloyd gaped. "How am I supposed to know that? Do I look like a god?"

now could you argue that this is berkis not wanting to give lloyd any more incentive to ask for his help with dealing with the restoration of fate? yes absolutely this bastard led lloyd on a wild goose chase with the jewel of truth cause he didn't actually think he would be able to find all the materials and he wanted to get him off his back but. i kinda do want to take his word for it. if only because he sounded genuine when he asked if he looked like a god to know the answer.

plus. we also have confirmation that the king of hell can't do it.

"I'd like for you to clarify one thing. If I promise to work for Hell in the future... Could you put a stop to the restoration of destiny?" Lloyd asked, pining all his hopes on this question. He desperately wondered if he could save the Count, Countess, Julian, Scheherazade and everyone else around him by promising, no, signing a contract to diligently work in Hell after death, in exchange for stopping the restoration of destiny. Hell's King clicked his tongue. "I did make the right judgement about your character. You are a good man at heart. But unfortunately, that is not possible." "Even... if I promise you?" "No." Hell's King shook his head, saying, "No, the restoration of destiny cannot be stopped once it has begun regardless of anyone's opinion, including mine. The phenomenon can think and act for itself. It will not stop until it meets its goals." "It reminds me of a computer program," said Lloyd. "Yes. It's similar to a computer program of your world." "..." "It must be clear to you by now. It's out of my control," said Hell's King with finality in his voice. "I see." It was not a lie. The fact was painfully clear to him. The matter was beyond the King of Hell's control.

and if the king of hell can't do it, i'm willing to bet the archangel or berkis could neither, as they are somewhere in the same level of power.

but we also got more explicit confirmation of his from the webtoon. which. i am willing to take into account for this one thing because it doesn't directly contradict anything in the novel :P

as for whether he could return og lloyd to his own body and lloyd to his,,, i don't think so. for one thing not even the king of hell knows why lloyd took og lloyd's body in the first place and he's the one that deals with souls the most and the one that would have a better idea of why or how it happens, but he can only give his opinion, not an outright fact. i doubt berkis would know or have the power to anything about it that the king of hell couldn't.

so. yeah :]

The more I read about Sukuna being elated with fighting Maki, the more I believe he would've had the fight of his life with Toji

Reactions to Chaos Creator's Chapter 253

TL;DR - Horns becomes Cale's spy. Cale gives assignments to his group. Cale's group meets the wolf chieftain, Jesse.

Double Agent Horns Horns called Pope Kesilia and told her everything that happened. But he lied about one thing - that he betrayed them in order to act as their spy on Cale's group. In reality, he was Cale's spy on the church.

Of course, Cale did not fully trust him yet, so he assigned three people to accompany Horns when he returned to the church. And those three were... Clopeh, Hannah, and Rasheel. 😂

Cale thought his assignment was good because Clopeh was good at politics, Hannah was knowledgeable in church affairs, and Rasheel was a dragon who could threaten the church in case something goes wrong. But CJS had the same thought as us, readers. Those three were... "destructive." 🤣🤣🤣

Dragon Names Last chapter, I complained about Past Dragon being unnamed. Fortunately, the author finally named him. His name was Zopf. MTL called him Chop or Chope, but frankly, that sounded weird, so I won't use it. Zopf is a type of Swiss, Austrian, and German bread. Past Dragon's name uses the same Korean word for Zopf, so I'll be using this one.

We also got the names of two other dragons.

Ryan - 1st Star, God of Domination, King of Beasts, Horns's biological father

Exion - 3rd Star, God of the Earth, strongest of the Three Stars

The Korean word used for Ryan is also the same for the word "lion", so you can say this is a pun because a lion is the king of beasts.

Group Assignments

Advance meeting with Pope Kesilia - Horns, Clopeh, Hannah, and Rasheel

Find CJG - Sui Khan, Zopf, Mila, Choi Han, Choi Jung Soo

Meet the source of the world/Aipotu - Cale, Raon, Wisha, Lock

The advance meeting group... Just wow. Clopeh is going? To meet a pope? Next thing we know, Pope Kesilia will convert from a dragon worshipper to a Caleism worshipper. 🤣🤣🤣

I thought Sui was going alone and not letting CH and CJS go with him, but I was wrong. Sui personally said the two should go with him too, and Cale agreed to it. Zopf would guide them, and Mila was going too because of Cale's distrust of Aipotu dragons. Cale still felt annoyed about Maxi placing a heavy burden on Raon.

Wisha would be guiding Cale and Raon to the source of the world, aka Aipotu. Lock was suddenly invited to go too because the path leading to the source of the world was located in the lair of Ryan, the King of Beasts.

The Aipotu wolf beast tribe worshipped the Blue Wolf as a god. The Blue Wolf gifted them "reason" in return, so that they could maintain reason when they undergo berserk transformation. But the Dragon Lord and 1st Star Ryan destroyed all the divine items of Blue Wolf, so the Aipotu wolf beast tribe lost their reason when in their berserk forms.

The worst part was that even when the berserk form was gone, their reason did not fully return. They slowly lose to their instincts the more they used their berserk forms.

1st Star Ryan was said to be a Blue Wolf-wannabe, so Cale asked Lock, whom the Aipotu beast wolf tribe feared and respected, to go with him. Hmm... is this foreshadowing of a possible battle between Ryan and Lock?

Ending Remarks So many new dragon names today. But no DHB naming scene... 🥲Next chapter would probably be Cale's trip to meet Aipotu.

Im speechless. Valentino just got bitten by a vampire. Okay.

Nearly as soon as the Bolsheviks took power, they began to execute anarchists and Socialist Revolutionaries, most of whom had fought alongside the Bolsheviks in the Revolution. They also purged elements of their own party deemed "anti-Soviet" or "counter-revolutionary." This state repression was well documented by the Soviet government, but here we have chosen to use journals and letters of those affected. Lithuanian-American Jewish anarchists Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman describe the Bolshevik betrayal: The systematic man-hunt of anarchists [...] with the result that every prison and jail in Soviet Russia filled with our comrades, fully coincided in time and spirit with Lenin's speech at the Tenth Congress of the Russian Communist Party. On that occasion Lenin announced that the most merciless war must be declared against what he termed "the petty bourgeois anarchist elements" which, according to him, are developing even within the Communist Party [...] On the very day that Lenin made the above statement, numbers of anarchists were arrested all over the country, without the least cause or explanation. The conditions of their imprisonment are exceptionally vile and brutal. (Boni, 253)
