Elric memes: group therapy version

[doodle-lions]

You've heard of the Faerghus Four, you've heard of the Abyssal Four.

Now get ready for: The Infirmary Four.

Featuring a knight-simping Agarthan defect who keeps getting stabbed, a secret Prince of the Kingdom with a penchant for dairy, a runaway Imperial Prince of Adrestia who is too hot for his own good (he can't stop getting fevers!) and a future Countess who chronically overworks to surpass her aunt Thunder Catherine (in the blade, obviously).

Coming soon, to an infirmary near you. (Jest)

one more post about moorcock tonite: i don’t remember what character says this to whom and in what book (possibly erekose in sailor on the sea of fate but i’m not sure): “he is many men. perhaps he is all men.” blew my mind when i was 12 or 13 or so. i have a vivid memory of riding on the monorail in downtown seattle (not something i did often, it was a special occasion? possibly Christmas Eve when my family always went to a hibachi restaurant that isn’t there anymore and to look at the gingerbread houses displayed in the lobby of a fancy hotel) and looking around at the people around me thinking like “that lady over there is the eternal champion and she doesn’t even know it. every single person here and everywhere in every reality is the same person and we don’t even know it.” of course everyone means me too, but that’s almost too scary to think about

Erekosë: well my gf hates the Eldren, guess I’ll genocide them :/

Erekosë: oh wait shit my bad the Eldren are pretty chill and maybe I shouldn’t genocide them

Erekosë: I’ll just genocide humanity instead that’ll fix it

Which of Erekose's dishes Allan like the most?

Honestly I think he would like the Enbarr-style cheesecake that Erekose makes, and the cheese-and-onion stew.

Though, given that Allan trusts Erekose and is close with him after a while, I think he could be easily convinced to eat any dish Erekose prepares as long as it includes cheese. The two of them being twin crested also means that Allan is also getting his portions tweaked to fit his needs automatically so... a well-fed cheese boi is a happy cheese boi.

The Eternal Championesses

I've made half of a FB group mad with this art. It's so funny.

[retrocatastrophy]

I don't know why, but the fact that Moorcock just fuses his main characters makes me really euphoric and giddy. And it's not even a one time thing.

Elric, Erekose, Hawkmoon, Courm (sailor on the seas of fate/quest for Tanelorn)

Elric, Erekose, Corum (partial) (the vanishing tower/king of the swords)

Elric, Hawkmoon, Corum (the Balance lost)

I initially thought they could form the Obsidian-Zord fusion only in Gagak, but they could do it again without that enhasment in Balance lost.

the moorcock multiverse crossover stories are pretty interesting in that each eternal champion is the same figure incarnated in different times and places by the gods of law and chaos as more or less a troubleshooting tool to fix a particular structural imbalance then die, so gathering several of the fatalistic bastards together both affirms their fatalism (they really don't have any choices) and undercuts it (this is only because they are the unwitting pawns of factional powers in constant conflict and not because there is one overarching fate), with the differences between identical figures each can act as a self reflexive critique of the others.

But mostly it means we get scene after scene of wan, mopey mallgoths trying to outpose one another.

What do you think about the Alternate Universe Ending Theory?

I just read that theory on Titanfolk (Reddit), it’s very extensive (LOL) and I find it very interesting because are a strong support point like the panel of ch 120 where Gothkasa and GeekArmin appear, We ‘can’ see the link between that AU world, the roads and the world from SNK.

In an interview Isayama said that the characters of the AU are just as they’re in the original work, they have the same personality.

I think it's a hit for possible multiverses which is the case with the Muv-luv visual novel- alternate universes, where the protagonist dies and is 'reborn' on alternate universe with the same companions and friends.

The fandom has also noticed the similarity of the plot and difficulties of Eren with 'Erekose' protagonist of  ''The Eternal Champion'', where he decides to save the Eldren people (it sounds very similar to Erdians)  destroying the human army, he proceeds to kill every human being on the planet.

Without a doubt, the author has had many sources of inspiration, Norse mythology, games, even manga that author reads 'hone ga kusaru mare' a group of friends murdered a man, time passes and each one have the internal fight between 'living happily and ‘feeling guilty’.

Talking about the theory, I think (MY opinion) SNK is the type of story, where every alteration of the past has already happened, this allows the story to still be within one singular timeline but it goes in cycles and We can see that Eren seeks to break it, from a storytelling perspective, alternative universes/timelines are a huge risk because the main plot would lose it’s own weight.

The rest of the points focused on ship issues that really contribute little on the subject:

- Historia’s baby who has nowhere to support himself (the final panel and born purpose was forgotten)

- The Grisha/Eren parallel where he stay with Historia on SNK reality, while in the alternative reality he stays with Mikasa (when Eren AU’s facial expressions only show deep disinterest and boredom for her).

Leaving some things to be interpreted and analyzed sounds like Isayama wants us to continue speculating, it will be interesting to see how the link between the clues left from that panel (Mikasa/Armin AU) does.

Thanks for asking.
