#i really really think this episode was a peak

[thestalkerbunny]

What you think of Leviathan and Belphegor finally showing up? It's a shame they probably wouldn't be able to see much more of them since there only 1 more episode this season. Hopefully they get some focus next one.

Honestly I really love their designs and the imagery that goes into it lemme talk about it for a second.

Belphegor is literally sheep-like the phrase 'Counting Sheep to get to sleep' They're perpetually drowsy and falling asleep. They also have a candle on their head which in itself could be considered another turn of phrase-Burning the candle at both ends. To overwork oneself. Their domain as we've seen falls into the medical field-which could extend to how important services, like medical attention, police officers, dmvs, etc. often feel like they take forever. I really like them. I don't know why their design gets shat on, I want twelve of them. Just to count to sleep.

Leviathan is also very interesting to me as they keep the sort of 'deep sea' fish look because Leviathan in at least in Jewish Mythos is a giant monsterous sea serpent. The fact that it's a two headed entity is also interesting-as the concepts of Envy and Jealousy often get mixed up and confused with each other. Jealousy is being afraid of losing something already in your posession-Envy is the desire to have or be in a position that you don't have.

Both designs are peak as hell and this all make me want to work on my own Sin demon concepts.

FINALLY ANOTHER ONE OF THESE HAS COME

1. God I have so many gripes with the timeline as well. But with the immortal Cookies in the Dark Flour War, the only thing we're properly certain of is:

▪︎ They're all adults (as in, they look different from their kid forms)

▪︎ We know they've all formed prospering kingdoms by then (well apart from white lily of course), and most are either parents or grandparents of non immortal cookies so that could give some idea of how old they were).

▪︎ There's also the whole deal with the Creme Republic Vanillian refugees from the DFW (such as Vanilla Sugar, and the fact that she's crippling at old age by the time Cookie Oddessey starts means that the war happens almost lifetime ago by then. Too bad we don't have any idea of how long a cookie lifetime IS. )

2. So you know how in the earlier episodes, the White Lily who accompanied the main 5 ended up being a weird sort of hallucination/illusion and was really just a ploy by Dark Enchantress? Yeah, I have a feeling the White Lily in the war was another one of those illusions. Not sure if there's a reason for why Dark Enchantress made another illusion in the first place, apart from making sure the other heroes don't realise that White lily IS her. Of course, there's also the possibility that the Dark Flour War happened BEFORE she got in the coffin, but that is a whole other idea I do not with to talk about right now.

3. Earthbread is NOT flat. Well, by flat, i assume you mean devoid of mountains, hills, valleys, but also the fact that it is a planet, but it's not a flat one. Somewhat. I'm convinced that it is either one massive continent full of separate subcontinents, or it is just a planet, the latter I am more willing to believe. However, in the maps, it looks like it's surrounded by water, which confuses me even more, especially considering that we have no idea how this place formed, full stop. The location confuses me, as the witches houses seem to be in earthbread, so are they on an entirely different planet to Earth, or is Earthbread a massive continent on a different planet, or is it a strangely shaped roxk floating around in space, and thats why there's, you know, canon space travel (and how cookies are able to go to space so easily? And that's not even including the alien cookies . Where did they even come from if the witches are on earthbread? What is going on??) I'm incredibly confused. Because the witches castle doesn't seem to be on another land/ but it's instead on earthbread since in all games, Gingerbrave escapes the witches house only to be immediately met with Earthbread. The Tower of Sweet Chaos seems to also be on earthbread because the Witches Castles are on Earthbread, too. At least they seem to be.

Aight moving onto 4 because I am already confused as it is

4. Magic. Simply magic. These are two incredibly different geographical locations as well, going from snowy cliffs and high mountain peaks to a flat desert is nearly impossible in our world, but like, the two kingdoms are ruled by two immortal and powerful beings. Its highly likely that they just took a part of the land that is their domain, and kept them separate. I don't know. Earthbread doesn't follow Earth logic.

5. Yeah. At least I think so. The statue that looked eerily similar to gingerbrave, I don't think is already that important to the plot because its not entirely unique, you see. Ginger is a blank slate of a cookie, and ones who look similar already appear in multiple places across the game. Why sure there's similarities, but I see it as more of a neat little thing the devs wanted to put into the lore. However I do think the writers have completely forgotten about the cake hound by now. Especially in the era of the game where there's world-ending threats, just casually looming in the lore. And as long as the game lives, the stakes will probably be risen to an even higher degree. Even during the era where the stakes werent high at all, the cake gound with the crown has mostly been forgotten. Very unlikely to return, unless its revealed that the crown has the power to destroy civilisations, or something.

Anyhow thanks for the question! Its been a while since ive done one of these.

Im bored so I have an idea and I want to see if it will do anything to change the fact that I am bored

DO YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC COOKIE RUN PLOT HOLE THAT ANNOYS YOU TO DEATH BUT YOU CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO THINK OF A SOLUTION FOR UNKOWN REASONS?

Well drop it in my asks box and I will make a solution for you! (headcanons may be included in this, but it will be based off of pure, canon fact)

Please do

Ps.

I know more Ovenbreak lore than Kingdom lore but I have seen most of the Kingdom stories and I know most of their plots. If I don't know a storyline that a person requests then I will just watch the lore.

‘everything was alright until you came along. she didn’t even think about being with anyone else’……. everything was alright except betsy was going off the rails + lashing out, everything was alright except betsy and lisa couldn’t talk to each other without it descending into a big argument, everything was alright except lisa has been passively suicidal the whole time and increasingly self-destructive!!!!!

I was thinking about these excellent questions from @ariadne-mouse, and in particular those about what this upper Un megafauna eats most of the time, in relation not to the crew, but the Sloop:

Consider also, @utilitycaster's suggestion of a toroidal cosmos, wherein the limits do not necessarily end, but instead circle around to meet each other. We do see that the mica described at this altitude is "fresher" and "cleaner", in a sense suggesting that this mica is newly formed:

We cannot yet know what lies beyond the tunnels of mica, but if the cosmos do in fact circle back upon themselves, and we take as foundation the gravitational direction of the cosmos—i.e., that the the Un is up, and the Fold is down, and overall, everything flows from top to bottom—then the biggest question is: where does the Fold at the deepest depths go?

But when we get to the description of the Fold of the dark mica being siphoned, the idea of mica forming begins to be called into question:

Contrary to this image of inorganic, dead matter, we do know that Fold is, technically, alive, that it is not liquid but innumerable living micro-organisms, described as algal or bacterial. We also know that mica can be excreted as by-product by other beings, notably mirrorhawks:

And, as we've learned, people contain Fold, which can be siphoned from themselves, and it is fundamental to their being and life. This could explain the chemical origin of this mica secretion, if Fold is a fundamental basis of life in the cosmos:

So perhaps mica, far from being any sort of originating matter, is in fact the by-product of dead, processed, consumed Fold.

Certainly, we don't entirely know how more Fold is created, though we know it has an origin at the Font, so it must have ways of generating more, and the cosmos must have ways of balancing the amount of Fold in the sense that the universe has not become purely Fold. Of course, we do not know where Fold goes beyond the Delta, but based on this evidence, I would hypothesize that one method of keeping this balance is that the megafauna of the upper Un and the megafauna of the extreme depths of the Fold are one in the same—evolved within a toroidal cosmos to consume and process Fold where it is most abundant, and maintaining an equilibrium of Fold in the universe.

btw i really really hope that janus's current characterization, with the wine and sass, is just there for the more light-hearted episodes, and that thomas hasn't forgotten the nuance behind his character.

Finally catching up on the Horizons episodes I missed 👍

[elegantmarigold]

Gwen was really invoking the ghost of a certain archivist this episode. Just really fucking around and finding out with dangerous people. Getting stubborn about it when they really should be getting the hell out of there at this point. Absolutely refusing to read the room and realize that this is going to go poorly for them until they're right about to die. Having the ability to say just the wrong thing without realizing it and just not being able to stay quiet and leave well enough alone. Apparently I just love a stubborn, persistent idiot because they're both my favorite characters and I love them dearly for this and I'm also terribly afraid for their well-being and they are going to be the death of me.

i didnt watch unknown as it was airing bc i knew it would consume me so i decided to binge it all today. i was correct. it has consumed me.

Having gone through the original Urusei Yatsura anime twice in full and currently nearing the end of my third rewatch (just going through the episodes I like this time... which is admittedly still most of it lol), I thought it'd be fun to put together a chart on how I'd personally categorize the evolution and different parts of the show.

This is by no means supposed to be an "objective and definitive" categorization or anything. I just wanted to list out in broad strokes how I see the show based on what I've observed and what I feel from it.

fuck it we ball i’m gonna plan the meth time loop fic . worse comes to worst and it never gets done i can just post the outline on here for anyone who’s interested in seeing where i wanted it to go
