Scorpio Full Moon Messages for You (Love/Relationships)

There may be some guidance meant for you below to support you during the upcoming emotional Scorpio full moon (please heart/share/follow/provide feedback if this resonated with you):

Pick a Crystal - 1. Black Tourmaline, 2. Peach Moonstone, 3. Rose Quartz

Pile 1 - Black Tourmaline

Protection, purification, grounding, stability/security, growth

Numbers: 1, 4, 5, 9, 11

Tarot: 4 of Pentacles Reversed, 9 of Cups Reversed, Ace of Swords, Page of Cups Reversed

You may currently be in a situation where you're hoarding and placing too much value on wealth and material possessions. Despite you coveting what you have, there may still be a sense of emotional unfulfillment as everything you've obtained still isn't what you truly desire. There may be a "missing piece to your puzzle" that you're seeking, which may be in the form of a romantic connection. You may be being stingy out of fear that someone will take advantage of your generosity, especially if you're currently trying your luck in the dating scene. What you may not realize is that your greed is actually what is blocking you from fulfilling your deeper desires and forming meaningful connections. You are being encouraged to be more appreciative of what you already have and make a daily habit of practicing gratitude. You may finally have a breakthrough moment of clarity about your situation after a period where you had been missing all the signs. You may tap into a more creative way of thinking that puts you on the right path to fulfill your material & spiritual desires.

Pile 2 - Peach Moonstone

Calming/soothing, protection, luck, hope, intuition/dreams

Numbers: 1, 3, 6, 9, 33

Tarot: Fool, Justice Reversed, Moon Reversed, 8 of Cups Reversed

You may currently be feeling a lot of guilt and grief about something you said/did in the past that you feel you must atone for now. You may have a habit of escapism and letting your avoidant tendencies get the best of you, which resulted in you saying or doing hurtful things (potential third party) and forcing you walk away from a romantic (or platonic, but mostly romantic) connection. It may not have taken you that long to realize that you regret what you had said to this person and wish you hadn't pushed them out of your life. You may be missing them being by your side at this time. Despite wanting to reach out to make amends, you may be being held back by anxiety and fear that they won't accept your apology or allow you back into their life. You are being encouraged to take full accountability for any dishonesty and your past actions, regardless of the result. There is potential to pursue a new beginning with this person ("clean slate"), but you must approach this situation with optimism, despite not knowing the outcome, and discern between reality and the illusions you cast in your brain out of self-deprecation and self-sabotage.

Pile 3 - Rose Quartz

Trust, harmony, unconditional love, emotional healing, attracts love

Numbers: 1, 4, 5, 6, 11

Tarot: Hanged Man, 2 of Cups Reversed, Queen of Cups Reversed, Knight of Wands

You may be currently ruminating about a previous breakup, or have recently experienced one, which is causing you to feel closed off and apathetic to future love. You may be feeling insecure, unworthy of love, suppressing these emotions to avoid confronting your uncomfortable truths, and potentially even projecting your insecurities onto others in the form of criticisms and unrealistic expectations. You are being encouraged to take this time to reflect, address the unhealed traumas, and embrace the new to adopt a new perspective to the heartbreak you've experienced. This is an opportunity to find great wisdom by practicing self-love and healing any wounds from past relationships. Be responsible for your own emotions and how they may have played a a part in negatively impacting past relationships as well. You must shift your reality to match your desires and pursue what you want with courage and enthusiasm, as your positive momentum will eventually put you at the right place & right time for something better.

What Does Dragon Spirit Want You To Know?

•●♡●•♡•●♡●•

Pile 1 Pile 2

Pile 3

Pile 4 Pile 5

•●♡●•♡•●♡●•

Pile 1

Emperor ☆ Chariot ☆ Ace/Wands

Guidance • Akasha • Sharing

This energy is powerful. You are sitting in Emperor energy with the Chariot as the follow up. You are following a new beginning and gaining fast momentum.

You are being invited to call for guidance on your situation. In seeking out the dragon spirit you will be given all that you need to succeed.

You are giving Clint Eastwood vibes, honestly. Calm, collected and fucking powerful. You are incredible and you guides are with you, wanting to give you specific advice. Look for dragons and crystals to channel messages.

Pile 2

Justice ☆ Hanged Man ☆ Empress

Inner Temple • Boundaries • Crossroads

This is some playful trickster joker energy right here. You are feeling stuck in a situation in which you are seeking justice. And it seems as if Justic will come to liberate you, but you must be patient. Sit in your Empress energy and wait for justice to be served.

However, you are being invited to do some spiritual cleansing. Evaluate your boundaries with others and how can avoid situations like this again. You must make a choice to hold firm and not allow anyone to treat you with anything less than the dignity you deserve.

I see nothing negative here. It's just some fine tuning to adjust course because you deserve better! You are lovely, and I'm rooting for you!

Pile 3

Strength ☆ 6/Swords ☆ 4/Pentacles

Alignment • Take a Break • Family

I'm seeing a lot of gentle strength in this pile. You are going through it, trying to get out of a bad situation, but you can't see any way to do it all with what you have. This energy is heavy and needs to be released.

You are being invited to rest and spend time with your family. Take a break, and get back into alignment.

Make sure to spend one quality time with yourself and do some self care. You are powerful and worthy of all the good things. I don't see any negative scenarios presenting themselves further. Just take a breath and recharge.

Pile 4

Star ☆ 10/Cups ☆ Lovers

Creator • Past • Creativity (reversed)

OK, so in this pile we have hopeful and contented energy and I'm loving it. You have good chemistry with your partner or you will meet someone new.

However you are being called to stop clinging to the past and to look forward to all of the amazing opportunities that are presenting themselves to you.

Channel your energies and messages through the flow state because you are currently blocked creatively. Get back in there and make something fabulous!

Pile 5

Empress ☆ Queen/Swords ☆ Hierophant

Play • Warrior Woman • Divine Plan

You guys have some emaculate energy. You are sitting in righteous and playful power. You are a warrior and it is beautiful! You do not play and won't hesitate to protect your own.

You are being invited to play like you did when you were young. You probably played as a warrior or a jedi or fighter of some kind. Find a way to channel that energy into your adult life and more success is guaranteed to follow you.

You are being divinely guided by your dragon spirit, so do not hesitate to ask for guidance or assistance.

Mini-Royal Affairs 3: Lunch With The Enemy

     In front of an army, a cloaked figure with a strange necklace reminiscent of the Sapphire Crystal laughed maniacally. His attention focused on the two hologram figures between him and his forces.

     “I’m lord Dis-Erai,” The cloaked figure began. “The High Priest of the Cult of Chaos. Our order pays tribute to Chaos, the supreme being of disorder. We…

     SLURP!

     Dis-Erai stopped hsi speech and studied the holograms in front of him. The forms of King Endymion and Neo-Queen Serenity were sitting in chairs, holding bowls of ramen. As the Queen finished slurping up a strand of noodles she noticed Dss-Erai glaring at her which caused her to blush. 

     “My apologies,” Serenity insisted, putting her chopsticks down to wipe her mouth with her napkin. “You caught us during lunch. Please, continue.” 

     “I see,” Dis-Erai grumbled, clearing his throat. “It is the goal of our order to spread the word of Chaos throughout the known universe and seek vengeance against you, Neo-Queen the being who banished Chaos to the Galactic Caulton. We shall…” 

     “Endymion,” Serenity whined, presenting her husband her bowl. “There are carrots in my ramen.”  

     “You had carrots in it last time,” Endymion reminded her. “You said they weren’t that bad. I thought you finally developed a taste for them.” 

     “Carrots, blah, never,” Serenity grimaced, shaking her head. “THat was like a few carrots. THis is an entire side of them.” 

     “Fine,” Endymion shrugged, using his chopsticks to pick out the carrots. “I'll take them.” 

     “Do you mind?” Dis-Era roared, clenching his fists. “I am in the middle of my declaration of war.” 

     “Our apologies,” Endymion replied, eating some of the carrots. “Continue.” 

     “As I was saying,” Dis-Erai hissed. “We shall rain divine justice across your world in the name of the God of absolute destruction. Our vengeance will be swift and merciless. THe streets of your precious kingdom will run red with the blood of your citizens. You…”

     “Huh,” Endymion announced, staring down at his ramen. “Is it just me or does the pork taste different?” 

     “You know I wasn’t going to say anything because it tasted so good but it does,” Serenity commented, picking up a piece of pork, studying it, before putting it back in the bowl “Is it from our usual place?” 

     “Yes,” Endymion confirmed with a nod. “Usual place, usual order…minus the carrots. Sorry by the way. Guess they decided to try something new.” 

     “I guess,” Serenity agreed. 

     “The real question is do we ask for this pork or what they used previously,” Endymion pondered, rubbing his chin while still holding his chopsticks.  

     “Excuse me!” Dis-Erai screamed, stomping is foot. “I am declaring war on your plaet. Could you ave talking abour lunch until i finish?” 

     ‘Your right, your right,” Endymion agreed with a wave of his chopsticks. “You still ahve the floor.” 

     “Thank you,” Dis-Erai sighed, rubbing his temples in frustration. “Where was I?” 

     “The stress will run red with blood,” Serenity answered as she nippled on her narutomaki.

     “Right, right,” Dis-Erai nodded, straightening his hood. “As I was saying…you who defeated the mighty chaos will face the wrath of their followers. You will know true fear and will beg for mercy but will receive none. However I shall give you one chance. Current yourselves and we MAY choose to spear your planet.” 

     “Yeah…I think we’ll pass,” Serenity stated, bringing the bowl to her lips to drink the broth. 

     “What?” Dis-Era gasped. Did you not hear what I said? I have forces that…” 

     “Your forces are about to be defeated,” Endymion chuckled as he should the last of his ramen into his mouth. “We have a strike team descending on you as we speak.” 

     Dis-Erai’s jaw dropped as he struggled to speak. 

     “You see,” Endymion continued. “The whole time you have been talking to use we’ve been tracing the signal to triangulate your location.” 

     “SUPREME THUNDER!” 

     “WORLD SHAKING!” 

     “OH look, there they are now,” Endymion observed, seeing the fear in Dis-Erai’s face. “If I were you…I’d run.” 

     Dis-Erai followed the King’s advice, exiting the chamber, and leaving his forces alone to the mercy of the force from Crystal Tokyo and the holograms of the royal couple. 

     “Again,” Endymion began. “Sorry about the carrots.” 

     “It’s okay love,” Serenity smiled at your husband. “Just remember…the only carrot I like doesn’t fit in a ramen bowl.” 

     The King’s cheeks turned red as he caught the Queen’s meaning. He reached over, hit a button, and turned off the holographic message.

Spoiler Warning! For Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed

Okay... just beat Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed, thoughts and reactions in no particular order-

1. What the FUCK was any of that actually supposed to mean?

2. What the hell was that final post-credit-scroll shot of the two planets and fusing into one and that blue spec of light coming towards the planet?

3. HOLY FUCKING BINGLE, THEY ACKNOWLEDGED X (Chapter 5′s cutscenes inside Origin- when Na’el was talking to Matthew, the radio in the background talked about the Earthlife Colonization Project, which is what created the White Whale, the ship that crashed on Mira, in X) IT’S THE SAME UNIVERSE, CONFIRMED, I WAS FUCKING *RIGHT*

4. So... Glimmer is the daughter of Rex and Pyra, right? We saw in the ending of XC3 proper that Pyra, Mythra, and Nia were all holding babies- does Glimmer have a sibling somewhere that we don’t know about? ...Is that why Matthew had an aegis crystal in his gauntlets...? Is he technically her... cousin? Is that how that would work? God why are the Pneuma girls so confusing XC2 what’s wrong with you

5. So... Nikol is the son of Shulk and Fiora, right?

6. So... Panacea is the daughter of Reyn and Sharla, right?

7. So... Linka is the daughter of Zeke and Pandoria, right? Why did they name their daughter after a type of honey?

8. Okay, what the fuck was A? Why is she named in the same format as the Moebius/Consuls? What the HELL is her deal? WHERE WAS HER CHARACTERIZATION

9. Did... Did Shulk, Rex, and A become the new Trinity Processor? Are Rex and Shulk like. The new Logos and Pneuma? Because A is Ontos. Is that the intended implication there? Because that’s DEFINITELY how I read it

10. So. Rex and Shulk like. Barely mentioned that they know/knew Nia and Melia. The Queens weren’t even in Future Redeemed. In fact, none of the other party members from 1 and 2 were ever mentioned by name- just acknowledged in passing dialogue. I said this about 3 proper and I’ll say it about Future Redeemed, too- that’s extremely fucking disappointing.

11. HOLY SHIT RIKU IS RIKI’S SON? RIKU IS KINO AND NENE’S BROTHER?

12. Why was Manana not acknowledged in Future Redeemed? And why did N show up but not M? WHY IS THE AGNIAN CAST SO NEGLECTED THIS IS DRIVING ME MAD

13. This one’s just me being ridiculous and dumb because I think it’s funny but I’m still kind of mad we didn’t get an Elma post-credits. ESPECIALLY NOW THAT X HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED LIKE COME ON. They could’ve even given us KOS-MOS or T-ELOS but they didn’t! Fucking cowards.

14. So... Fogbeasts got kind of explained, finally? But why were they in Bionis’ Shoulder? And why did we never see them in Alrest? I’m very confused by this.

15. Most egregious of all- NO TYREA AGAIN. Which singlehandedly makes this trash. Justice for Tyrea. The only way this can be redeemed is if Eunie is canonically Tyrea’s daughter. There was a guy in Future Connected who had a crush on Tyrea so just fucking send it Monolith

TL;DR- Too short. Not enough of... well, not enough game, really. XC3 proper only having 7 chapters wasn’t enough for it but that honestly would’ve probably been about the perfect length for Future Redeemed, but. Alas. I can’t say I was disappointed, really, but I also don’t know that it met my expectations... much like XC3 proper, I’m very conflicted about this.

Whose your favorite drag queen?

MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED.

a lovely question. also a very complicated one. clears my throat . I HAVE A LOT OF THEM.

if i had to pick a solid number one ever, i'd probably say trixie mattel even though that's a basic af answer. i just watch her content the most, plus i listen to her music super frequently; in general she's the queen whose content i interact with the most and i love her.

my second favorite (a very close second, almost tied) is katya. again yeah a basic answer but its also a GOOD ANSWER. i started learning russian originally because of her, and like trixie i watch tons of videos she's in and listen to her music, just slightly less than trixie cause theres less to consume. love her vibes. whats wrong with her (lovingly). i wanna study her

easy number three placement is gottmik. inspired my dream to become a drag queen because i finally saw a queen on rpdr who was like me (transmasc) and i truly think she's had some of the MOST incredible runway looks in history, especially after her run on as9. she was robbed as fuck by the way, fuck the producers for setting up the season like that it was rigged. rigga morris. justice for mik and plastique. gottmik deserved to win season 13 (i love symone too dont get me wrong) and she ABSOLUTELY deserved to win as9. those fucking runways? not even top 3?? i'm going to kill myself in front of rupaul to permanently alter the trajectory of his life.

as for other like honorable mentions, all my answers are again very obvious because my favorites are the fan favorites but i love laganja estranja, adore delano, gigi goode, crystal methyd, bob the drag queen, peppermint, + more. oh and sasha colby. everyone loves sasha colby. i think my least obvious fav is ivy winters (s5) or max malanaphy (s7)

Crystal of Shining Justice Mini Arc 3: A merge of Worlds part 2/2

Some Time Later

Mio: I hate this, i should have known those memories had to go somewhere,

Miyabi: We cannot exactly hold it against her, it’s not her fault, however I agree, this situation sucks

Glimmer: A version of you, as his blade? I’m half a mind to stab him, but that wouldn’t solve anything.

Sena: Even so, she seemed happy with him in Aionios, even after both regained their memories of Moebius.

The Second Mio enters the room,

Mio(Echell): Oh, you, I hope you didn’t take my taking your place personally

Mio(Aionios): No hard feelings, is it really my place if I have no memory of it, and staying here would be a real uncomfortable situation for you and Nia with all the stuff I remember.I live with Noah.

Glimmer: As much as Noah’s actions in Aionios make me want to punch a wall and/or his face, I will respect your decision.

Glimmer: you’re really lucky I didn’t find you first, because N hurt this Mio too, you know she still has nightmares sometimes about when h sicced X on her.

Miyabi: Also it might be good to like change your name or something so the whole exact duplicate thing is less obvious (idk just throwing it out there

Mio(Echell): I mean as leader of the Fonsett Four, Drift Queen of muimui’s arcade, and the daughter of the strongest healing blade in Alrest, I have a reputation to maintain

Mio(Aionios): Either way, I want to find Taion, where could we wind him?

Sena: IDK ask Zeke maybe?

Mio(Aionios): Who’s Zeke?

everyone else simultaneously: You’ll know him when you see him.

I said I'd come here to ask you questions about The Roe Deer and The Knight, so here I am!! *ahem*

First, thank you for taking time out of your undoubtedly busy schedule as a renowned writer to do this interview with me. I am sure that all of our readers at Wizards Writing Weekly are just as curious as I am to get the insight scoop on your latest story. So, that said, I must know...

How much of the story was directly taken from the fairytale that inspired it? How did you figure out how to make this story uniquely yours?

The ending is so original and gorgeous... How did you determine how you wanted to end it? What details were you more sure about, and which parts took more effort to sort out?

So, you've already said in your response to my comment on AO3 that it wasn't intentionally referring to the lake in DH... Which still astounds me, but I know you mentioned there was more to be told about what you actually were thinking regarding the setting of a lake?

Anything else you'd like to share with your readers?

Sincerely,

James U. Water, head journalist for Wizards Writing Weekly

My dear Mr Water, it is a pleasure to be doing this interview with you!

With your permission, cut for spoilers!

1. I used a fair amount of elements from my fairy tale (the people hunting the deer, the brave huntsman with his dog, the person in the lake, the curse that turned the man's hair golden, the fact that he had pure heart but a fatal flaw) but honestly I found the story a little too all over the place for my liking! So every time I ran into something I didn't like or I couldn't easily parallel, I'd skip it and go my own way! I'd say it's about half and half?

The original story is also not a love story - the man does marry a princess in the end but the lake person is a helper, not his love interest - and I didn't like that either; it's a Jilychallenge and I wanted the focus to be on James and Lily as the main characters of the story!

2. I felt that leaving it at "happily ever after" wouldn't do the story justice - it would be too abrupt, and frankly given how Jily didn't really have a happily ever after in HP, it felt like it wouldn't fit them. At the same time, I didn't want to torture them - so I thought a quick recap of a happy life and dying together would fit them nicely, coupled with a "to this day" ending that you often find in fairy tales and legends! It wasn't particularly hard to structure - I did consider whether they should have a kid, but I thought there was no grace in having them have a cursed child. And I tried a few things about whether James would die in the forest as a deer and she'd curl next to him, whether she'd have to carry him to a resting place etc. - until I settled on their underwater bed. It might be a bit of underwhelming description, I feel. I considered making the ending a little longer and splitting it in two paragraphs, but the second paragraph would start with "Great green lightning" and that looked a bit weird to me - plus the way it is now it's exactly 4 pages long and it would have bugged me so much to ruin it. XD

3. In the original story, the dog follows the deer's scent until they reach a lake, then a human arm reaches out and pulls the dog underwater, and then the man gets more men and they empty the lake with buckets and find Iron John in it, whom they then bind and take back to the castle. I decided that I didn't like this, because I wanted Lily to be more in control, so instead I had James dive into the lake, and find Lily there like some sort of queen. Also I thought the blurriness of seeing through water and James canonically needing glasses worked nicely together, so I leaned into it for the underwater atmosphere! And the crystal palace is inspired from a detail in the story about guarding a golden spring that was bright and clear as crystal.

4. I want to say that I loved reading fairy tales as a kid and I loved the opportunity to write one! I considered making it into a longer story, adding some more dialogue, more descriptions, but in the end I went with a shorter format because I was afraid it would get too tiring with that style of writing. I hope it was a good choice on my part and that y'all enjoyed reading!!

Necrozma, Light, and Divinity: A Very Weird Sun and Moon Theory.

I don't think the alchemical connections in Sun and Moon were ever really discussed in-depth enough for my satisfaction. There's no god damn way they'd just base the starter's first forms off the 3 primes and name one of the factions the Aether Foundation just not go anywhere else with that. Sun and Moon were pretty wild games, and I think maybe we got distracted with all the other bells and whistles, like Lusamine's bullshit, the UBs, and ya boy Guzma. Buckle up.

Before we get onto the main bit, I wanna talk a little about Mesopotamian deities. Observe this boundary stone from 12th century BC.

It's Wikimedia Commons details are as follows: Kudurru (stele) of King Melishipak I (1186–1172 BC): the king presents his daughter to the goddess Nannaya. The crescent moon represents the god Sin, the sun the Shamash and the star the goddess Ishtar. Kassite period, taken to Susa in the 12th century BC as war booty.

We've seen this 8-pointed star before, right on Necrozma's back

The star, as the description says, represents Inanna (called that by the Sumerians, and Ishtar by the Babylonians). She is a deity of love, war, fertility, and divine justice. She is associated with the planet Venus (we'll talk about Venus more in a bit). Inanna is referred to as the "Queen of Heaven", described as powerful but capricious.

She is also described as having some ambiguity to her gender, even having the power to alter people's gender, especially in relation to her cult. This ties into another figure Necrozma may be based on, as well as it's alchemical ties. But before I talk about that I wanna walk about the time Inanna died.

Gods die all the time in mythology. Inanna is one of the few who came back. For a time, she was trapped in the underworld by her sister Ereshkigal. Similarly, it's Sun dex entry reads "Reminiscent of the Ultra Beasts, this life-form, apparently asleep underground, is thought to have come from another world in ancient times." Whole it's entry in Sword for gen 8 is "It survives by absorbing light. After a long time spent slumbering underground, impurities accumulated within it, causing its body to darken.". Inanna is eventually saved when "sexless" or androgynous beings are sent to rescue her.

Bulbapedia's trivia section for Necrozma offers a different idea: Lucifer.

Ultra Necrozma, a being of light, four wings, draconic yet angelic, who's battle music begins with a fucking organ absolutely invokes imagery of Lucifer.

In this form, its head becomes the 8-pointed star.

Lucifer, who's name means "light bringer". Lucifer the morning star, associated with Venus. This figure is eventually absorbed into Christianity as a name for the devil, a being who himself was once an angel. It's not uncommon for media to depict him with a mixture of secondary sexual characteristics, though most are male. It's entirely possible this is because of confusion between Satan and the figure Baphomet, though I had a harder time finding info on this one. If that were the case I wouldn't entirely fault Gamefreak for it. Even I have a hard time separating the two. Also probably worth noticing that dragons come up several times in the Bible, usually in relation to Satan. Ultra Necrozma does gain the dragon type after all.

Two figures, sometimes of ambiguous gender, both associated with the 3rd brightest object in the sky? Interesting. Very interesting.

If you're still reading, congrats, we're talking about alchemy now.

It was pretty hard to understand where they were going with this until we got USUM. USUM introduced Team Rainbow Rocket, Giovanni's attempt to gather past evil the leaders into a league of supervillains (who you demolish). Seemed simple enough. Haha, Necrozma is a light god. Z-Crystals are shards of its light because it's a prism. Cool.

But maybe not the whole story. I introduce to you: The Prima Materia.

In alchemy, Prima Materia is a substance that acts as the base form of all matter. It is similar to aether. a book called the Theatrum Chemicum contains the following passage about it.

"They have compared the "prima materia" to everything, to male and female, to the [redacted]*, to heaven and earth, to body and spirit, chaos, microcosm, and the confused mass; it contains in itself all colors and potentially all metals; there is nothing more wonderful in the world, for it begets itself, conceives itself, and gives birth to itself.

*the word used here is considered a slur against intersex people, so I excluded it

Furthermore, the Lexicon Alchemaie (which i would have checked more in depth but I don't speak Latin), lists names alchemists have used for the Prima Materia. Ones that stand out to me are: heaven, the dragon, heart of the sun, spittle of the moon, Venus, the rainbow. The Prima Materia is required in the creation of the Philosopher's Stone.

In USUM, instead of Nihilego, Lusamine beings forth Necrozma. The Aether Foundation's name comes full circle here. Aether as an alchemical element is frequently associated with light and gravity.

What I'm saying is, Necrozma isn't just light. it's alchemical light. it is the Prima Materia. The energy it emits becomes other things (in this case, the Pokemon types).

Now let's take this a step further, with Type: Null and Silvally. They don't directly relate to Necrozma, but I do believe they have an alchemical inspiration that ties them to Necrozma's mythological position in comparison to Arceus.

According to Bulbapedia, Type: Null was created using cells from all known pokemon types. It was supposed to be able to change types with RKS system, inspired by tales of Arceus. There were complications with them going berserk and the project was deemed a failure.

Type: Null is a failed Philosopher's Stone, until the power of love completed it.

With high friendship, Type: Null evolves into Silvally. It breaks free of the limiter attached to its head and regains use of the RKS system, this time without going berserk. Gladion, a kid, achieves what a bunch of detached adult scientists could not.

It seems love and light are very similar concepts, at least in the Pokemon world. The fairy types are heavily associated with light, super effective against dark types, and a certain pokemon repping them when they first got revealed evolves when it loves you (and has a fairy type move).

Now, it's still difficult to say where Necrozma stands in Pokemon's mythology. It's from another world entirely. The question is whether or not Arceus has influence in those worlds. It's God. It should, right? I think there's a few possibilities, but I don't have enough information to decide for sure

-Necrozma is equivalent to Arceus in its own world. Ultra Beasts may not be described as pokemon, but they have types and use moves like them, so they must be something similar but adapted to a different environment. This one's a bit of a stretch.

-Necrozma is a creation of Arceus like everything else and plays an important function, it just made a home in a different area of time and space, or much like Giratina (another Satan inspired pokemon who is dragon type) it was sent there for some reason.

-Less likely, Necrozma is above Arceus, not as a god but a primal energy gained beast-like sentience, the divine Chaos from which Arceus came

One potential hint at this relation may lie in Arceus' name. It's likely this is a coincidence, and they didn't intend this from the get-go, but it did just happen to fit the alchemy theme. There is another concept: Archeus. Archeus is, according to Wiktionary: "The vital principle or force believed by the Paracelsians to be responsible for alchemical reactions within living bodies, and hence for the growth and continuation of life." It is another name for Anima Mundi, the soul of the world. The divine spark. Archeus has four aspects: Life, Light, Chemical, and Reflective.

I haven't worked out yet what this means, unfortunately. I could be connecting a bunch of weird mythological coincidences. But it was very fun. I would like to discuss some less grand alchemical connections in Alola sometime. Those would require a bit more research and milling over however. I genuinely wish I could give you a more satisfying conclusion here.

Altogether, I hope this gives you food for thought.

UPDATE: more thoughts

there's something I wanted to talk about that I forgot when previously writing this, and I've had more time to mull over previous thoughts.

This next section will start with the elements of gender ambiguity with Inanna and Lucifer, and how that connects to alchemy. Rebis.

An end product of the Magnum Opus (creation of the Philosopher's Stone), the Rebis is a fusion of spirit and matter, imbued with male and female qualities. (Lot of the use of that word I omitted earlier here so be advised if you look into it more). While lacking in the two heads, that certainly lines up with the element of gender ambiguity. Ultra Necrozma is the being at its strongest, when it is full of the much needed light its body had been starving for.

Another interesting bit regarding the Rebis is it is considered the result of "reconciliation of opposites", and imagery around it is called a chemical wedding. This is symbolized by the coming together of a king and queen, the king in red and the queen in white, each symbolizing the sun and moon respectively.

While Solgaleo and Lunala do not fit so neatly into the references to mesopotamian myth (Shamash and Sin are both male, Shamash is Ishtar's brother and Sin their father), this might add some ideas for how Solgaleo and Lunala connect to Necrozma. They are all beings of light after all, and Necrozma is able to siphon it from them when fusing with them in USUM.

I believe Necrozma may be a possible evolution of Cosmog. Bear with me, please.

Obviously, this isn't reflected in gameplay. What Cosmog evolves into depends on your version of the game. But Solgaleo and Lunala are framed as mates. You can get a second Cosmog in both games, and when you do, the other game's legendary appears. They are also referred as appearing to be male and female respectively in their Pokedex entries despite having no gender in the actual game data.

But what is Cosmog and Cosmoem in this case then? Well besides being based on nebulas, I think it may be another concept called filius philosophorum, "Philosopher's Child". One of the Filius' ways of being represented is by the Rebis, as well as a direct child of the red king and white queen. Many sites mention an egg as a symbol but don't elaborate further (like baby name websites they often feed off each other indefinitely).

Now Cosmog's name is the same in all languages, but Cosmoem's is not. It's Japanese name is Cosmovum. Cosmos and ovum. Ovum as in egg. The -em in Cosmoem's name may also be for embryo. whoever wrote the trivia section for it's Bulbapedia stage thinks it has elements of both the sun and moon in its design, and I'm inclined to agree. It also mentions something called the world egg.

The world egg is a mythological concept that spans across multiple cosmologies, but because alchemy often takes from the Greek cosmology I'll stick to that. Within Greek myth we are given the Orphic Egg, from which the primordial deity Phanes is born. Phanes' name meaning "to light, or to shine". He is described bearing a helmet and golden wings, largely referred to as male but sometimes as androgynous. His parentage varies, with having no parents at all, to Chronos (time), to Chaos, to Nyx (night). He is described as creating all other gods, or creating the day depending on the telling.

Necrozma is also Phanes, a being of light, born from a divine egg. Necrozma is a more perfect path of evolution than it's parents, but this is likely triggered by something far beyond the control of the player.

(Addendum: If you think this also sounds similar to books about Arceus in the Canalave library, you'd be right. That myth was applied to Arceus first, which makes some interesting implications.)

Now you may be thinking "wow a lot of these concepts sound like ways to talk about the Philosopher's Stone", and you'd probably be right. The Magnum Opus had many names and many ways of representing it visually, mostly alchemists wanted to keep their trade secrets. But there is an interesting one.

The ouroboros. A symbol of unity, eternity, and endless cycles. The beginning and the end are intrinsically connected.

What is Necrozma doing when you meet it in USUM? it's desperately looking for light. It can't make it on its own anymore. It's base form dex entries describe it as craving light, going dormant when it can't find it.

Ultra Sun: It looks somehow pained as it rages around in search of light, which serves as its energy. It's apparently from another world.

Ultra Moon: Light is the source of its energy. If it isn't devouring light, impurities build up in it and on it, and Necrozma darkens and stops moving.

Necrozma is burning out like an old star. Necros, death.

The Philosopher's Stone is often visualized in modern media as a gem, much like it's body in this form. When the power is expended, Necrozma will be just another rock. It is a transient being. Much like the Great Work, perfection is not sustainable in practice.

But it's not all bad. Phanes, again, is also described as creating other gods. In time, it's body will break down and may become a new Cosmog. The end begets the beginning. The Prima Materia is after all, important in the Great Work's culmination.

There is another being described as creating all else though, in Pokemon. Once again it rolls back around to Arceus.

In Platinum and HGSS Pokedex entries, Arceus' goes as follows: It is said to have emerged from an egg in a place where there was nothing, then shaped the world.

These beings are connected somehow, but after more research from my first version of this I've come to the conclusion that while Necrozma and Arceus are similar (remember, Arceus can be any type, Necrozma's light becomes the differently typed Z-Crystals), Necrozma is inherently more flawed and impermanent.

It's important also to remember that the Philosopher's Stone is the work of humans. It's not divine but comes from a desire to come close to it. I can't say the same about Solgaleo and Lunala, but it's possible that Necrozma isn't natural. Necrozma was made. By whom? Who knows, but probably someone from the Ultra Recon Squad's dimension. This is merely a guess. It could just be a natural but rare occurrence. From what we've been given, this anyone's guess. Maybe were not even meant to know. Whatever the case, Necrozma is a transient being, Arceus-like but ultimately imperfect. The cycle continues eternally.

BONUS ROUND: tria prima

In the very introduction of this post I mentioned the 3 primes, and the starters's first forms having similarities to their symbols. I'm aware there are likely many alchemical connections in the story that I haven't noticed yet but I wanted to discuss something more with that.

Paracelsus described the primes (sulphur, mercury, and salt) as materials from which all things are made. This is not entirely literal. Alchemy wasn't just chemistry, it was spiritual. Each prime has a different quality.

Sulphur is combustibility, soul, the divine spark

Mercury is volatility, spirit (mind), consciousness

Salt is neither, it is the body that holds them

One of the biggest examples for this is that in say, burning a piece of wood. The fire was sulphur, the smoke was mercury, and the ash was salt.

The tria prima sound a lot like prima materia don't they? It's kind of poetic the way this is implemented in USUM. You begin your journey with a prime material and it's biggest climax is with another prime material. Just as the end begets the beginning, the beginning begets the end.

Note for potential future update: Two substances were added to this later on: phlegm and caput mortuum (Latin for "dead head"). Caput Mortuum was waste product in a reaction. Phlegm, in the alchemical sense is "A watery distillation, especially one obtained from plant matter; an aqueous solution.", to quote Wiktionary. Phlegm was also considered a waste product. CM was produced by sublimation, and Phlegm by distillation. Phlegm doesn't appear to have a symbol but CM does: a skull.
