#lilith/reya

[juodojimirtis]

The most insane Warrior Nun pairing ever to grace my mind? Lilith/Reya. I have no idea why. I was probably thinking where to put Lilith in an Avadriel situation.

Maybe Lilith was really mad Ava "stole" Adriel, so she barged into the Other Realm to... pin down God.

Maybe then both of them showed up at Adriel's cathedral.

-

Lilith: guess what bastard, I fucked your mom.

Reya: I haven't had such a great time ever since you were conceived, son~

Adriel: MOTHER PLEASE STOP 😨😬

Ava: *laughing in the background*

-

Or maybe it's normal, Lilith went to the Other Realm for answers (or something), and they liked each other.

It's really among Reya, (my OC) Adriel's sister, or (my OC) Adriel and Areala's son. In the version where Ava is reincarnated Areala, she would have such a great time reminding Lilith she's her mother-in-law.

I really prefer Lilith/Therion or Lilith/Balthazar, Reya's someone I find difficult to imagine in romantic situations. My headcanon is, she had a husband, his name was... Kronos (obviously), he started causing trouble, so she killed him, and used his organs for her creation projects. Made Tarasks out of his teeth for example.

i love this pic so much 🥹🥹

I made another one of these

[fuck-off-im-ace]

And maybe reblog and put in the tags which one you picked and if you'd prefer it to be a movie, a tvshow or a mini serie?

[jaquitor]

the first of my blind box bjds arrived today and wouldn't you know it it was the one i was the most excited for!! the TV Catgirl!!!

(Reya was helping)

She came naked and it took AGES to get her dress on...(I had to take her hands off b/c they were too chunky to fit down the sleeve...) But she's sooo cute and weird, just a little catgirl with a tv for a head and a plug for a tail!!

I named her Miyu c: my last real experiences with getting ball jointed dolls was back in like 2012, so its been a hot minute and I think its VERY cool that there are cheaper alternatives to the traditional resin dolls I remember from my Youth(tm) She came with a bunch of extra hands and feet so if i ever decided I wanted to un-catgirl her I could (but why would I want to...)

[sistertinysips]

Listen, but what if Reya planned to shove Ava in her direction all throughout season 1 and 2 because she's actually trying to get the halo?

We don't see her crossing from the other side to the human realm until the very end of season 2. We're told by Adriel that she's not what everyone thinks she is. We're never explicitly shown wether the halo belongs to "god/reya" or hell/the devil, but we do know that a powerful being on his own (Adriel) considers it to be a crucial weapon for whatever he was planning on doing. Who's to say Reya wouldn't have the same kind of interest in it?

What if we never see Reya crossing from the other side to here because she can't do it by herself and that's why she needs to either be taken by other entities (the wraith demons that dragged them to be imprisoned by Adriel) or have the halo directly delivered, and so Reya ends up laying piece after piece on a chess board so Beatrice and Lilith would willingly send Ava through the Arc right into Reya's doorstep

[parkernova]

what if reya has been with lilith in the way that adriel has been with camila for the entirety of season 2? we know adriel is more of a narcissist than reya, if he’s speaking directly to vincent and camila, it’s possible that reya has been using a more subtle method to persuade lilith to do her bidding.

maybe reya knows that fighting vincent’s men and speaking to her mom will make lilith’s soul more vulnerable and uses that to persuade her further

what if reya compelled lilith to seek out Jillian to understand more about the portal from the other side? if she has less power here it would make sense that she knows less about the possibilities of traveling between dimensions

reya could’ve also been the motivator to lilith seeking out adriel and the kiss

we know that lilith was possessed by reya in season 1, but maybe it just never went away

maybe it was always lilith’s destiny to end Michael’s life, because him, ava, and Lilith are the only ones known to be able to travel between the two worlds without being trapped or killed. Maybe reya secretly wants to eliminate them all to regain control of her own realm

AND WHAT IF CAMILA COULD TEACH LILITH HOW TO FOLLOW THE ENERGY BACK INTO REYAS MIND, LILITH COULD BE THE KEY TO BEATING REYA AND GET THE REDEMPTION ARC SHE DESERVES

[the-darkness-does-not-bargain]

other half of the last metaphorical kitkat

absolutely avalil could probably teach a dancing class for dancing around issues

Feel like avalil defo also have a tendency of bringing in distractions when beatrice tries to talk to em about issues as well

it’s not at all on purpose, they don’t even realize they’re doing it, but obviously that doesn’t change they’re doing it

as a matter of fact, that’s actually what i was thinking is the main or one of the main reasons for beatrice’s running away and then getting mcdonalds n stuff, but then lilith found her and sat down and communicated with her and while avalil still have heavy avoidance habit and are unaware, it gave beatrice hope

oh yeah defo on mary & shannon’s concern regardless of whether or not they’ve had past bad experience with vincent. it’s defo also just a basic stranger danger thing, even without all the supernatural stuff & reputations, because your friend going through a major traumatic event & upheaval to their life, and then suddenly shacking up with a couple of people who not only are strangers to you, but are/were complete strangers to your friend before they shacked up? not just red flags galore right there, they’re bathing and swimming in a pool of red paint

i’m 👀👀👀👀 at the concept of ava having unwittingly stolen what was gonna be reya’s method of becoming immortal. ooo wait hold on up, what if she’s an even shadier parallel to jillian, but instead of all her shady and morally dubious being for someone else, it’s all for her (reya’s) own sake

probably took ava in under her wing and became a mentor and/or motherish figure to her, but unknown to ava until too late, it was just to boost reya’s pr image so she wouldn’t have as much scrutiny on her and her shady actions

Also q q, would you say lucifer’s a good and/or least a fun show, or?

Yeah, it's not intentional, it's just the habit they've formed over millennia. Neither of them like to talk about their problems, so they changed to adapt to each other's coping mechanisms. Lilith participates in whatever zany antics Ava needs to distract herself, and Ava makes herself a reliable but quiet safe zone for Lilith to hide in. It's all done with the utmost love but it's soooo unhelpful in the long-run. And it all comes to a head when Beatrice, young, lonely, modern (She's a modern woman, Lilith, modern women talk about their feelings, isn't that horrifying?) gets involved. Bea has spent her entire life feeling ignored and like she has to repress herself, and it's not great when she thinks Ava and Lilith are doing what her family did: ignoring her needs and fears. So things come to a head when she runs away, and Lilith goes to get her, and after the mushroom-fueled binge they have their talk and Lilith actually makes an effort to be open with Bea and let Bea be open with her.

Ava is a tougher nut to crack because she'll let them open up to her, but she won't reciprocate, not until things really boil over and she can't distract herself anymore and just breaks down one day (maybe when Jillian asks Bea to turn Michael into a werewolf and all of Ava's Diego-based trauma comes back in full-force). I really think Ava has had to deny herself the chance to heal from things as a means of survival. Sure, she's immortal, but time can kill where normal means won't work, and when you experience the kind of things she has, alone and surrounded by danger on all sides, time can drive you mad if you let it. Of course, spending literal thousands of years with these untreated psychological wounds will also drive you mad, you just won't realize it.

When Beatrice decides to live with Ava and Lilith full-time, Shannon and Mary both show up to give the Shovel Talk of the century. We're talking claws and fangs out, eyes yellow, every word comes out as a growl, the works. Ava and Lilith are not really impressed, but they do swear an oath to take care of Bea and treat her well. Shanmary are still wary of them, and they take measures to ensure that Beatrice gets plenty of non-girlfriend time to keep her balanced.

I have so many ideas for Reya's whole deal, generally. Since we never got the chance to really know anything about her, the field is wide open for any interpretation. Maybe she's an amoral sociopath who manipulated Ava to get the philosopher's stone. Maybe she's a morally dubious pragmatist who thought her becoming immortal (through whatever means necessary) would be the best thing for everyone, including Ava. Or maybe Ava swallowing the stone wasn't an accident but exactly what Reya wanted. Maybe Ava was a test subject, or (if Reya is Worse JillianTM) she's like Michael and Reya was trying to save her. Who knows? Certainly not us. And probably not Ava either, because I can't imagine Reya was very forthcoming with answers regardless of the truth, and she also may not remember everything after so much temporal separation.

The real question, then, is whether Reya managed to find another way to become immortal or otherwise persist into the modern day. And if so, where is she and what the fuck is she up to now?

And I would recommend Lucifer, it's very fun! I love the characters and the take on biblical lore. It is a police procedural too, so if that's not your jam, then don't feel like you have to watch it. But Lucifer as a snarky, bisexual menace in LA is very fun.

[godsweakestsoldier]

Oh to have Shannon be apart of this wip or not to have her be apart of it, that’s the question

first of all... WHAT THE HELL???

Simon????? lol is that a joke? please tell me it is a joke

[beastsovrevelation]

I'm frustrated, I have so many ideas for WN fics, but they're mostly longfics with lore as intricate as the show's. That's why I'm reluctant to work on anything other than the Biblical AU, which I'm unproductive enough with.

Warrior Nun Realm Time Ratios

(This is also posted on ao3 but the image disappeared so I redid it here)

I got tired of having to calculate the time differences across the realms so I made a spreadsheet that did the math for me. I don't know how to upload the data itself to here (or if I even can), so instead here are all the equations and an explanation of how I did it.

This is based on the 7.8 seconds = 107 minutes ratio from when Jillian sent Lilith through the arc with the recording device in Season 2.

Here are some screenshots of how I set it up on a spreadsheet (you can ignore the top right section. I was just doing generic ratios of the time values for that and realized I didn’t actually need them)

Formulas:

base value of 1:

Key:

Left half is Mortal Realm times, right half is The Other Side times

Time values: seconds, minutes, hours, days, years

Row colors:

Red: seconds

Light blue: minutes

Orange: hours

Dark blue: days

Green: years

The basic multiplier is (6420/7.8), based on the 107 minutes/7.8 seconds ratio.

Equations to input into a spreadsheet (based on the Mortal Realm time values): 

X= whatever the mortal time value is (so inputted in the vibrant cell on the left side)

X is only used in the equation on the corresponding vibrant cell on the right half. The rest of the equations are based on the left half’s vibrant cell.

Use whatever the cell name box is in place of the (X) or (time value)

equations are inputted on the bottom right half

Red:

Seconds= X*(6420/7.8)

Minutes= (seconds)*60

Hours= (seconds)*3600

Days= (seconds)/86400

Years= (seconds)/31536000

Light Blue: 

Seconds= (minutes)*60

Minutes= X*(6420/7.8)

Hours= (minutes)/60

Days= (minutes)*(24*60)

Years= (minutes)/525600

Orange:

Seconds= (hours)*3600

Minutes= (hours)*60

Hours= X*(6420/7.8)

Days= (hours)/24

Years= (hours)/8760

Dark Blue:

Seconds= (days)*86400

Minutes= (days)*1440

Hours= (days)*24

Days= X*(6420/7.8)

Years= (days)/365

Green:

Seconds= (years)*31536000

Minutes= (years)*525600

Hours= (years)*8760

Days= (years)*365

Years= X*(6420/7.8)

I’m as confident as I can be with these numbers/equations, but given that this is the first time I’ve actually used the equation functions on a spreadsheet and it's been a while since I’ve done math of this type, there is a possibility that I messed up somewhere.

I had attempted at one point to add weeks and months as rows, but then the math just got so overly complicated due months not having the same number of days and then weeks just were (green row)*7, so it felt pointless to include it.

So if you’re like me and got tired of having to calculate it every time, then just pop those into a spreadsheet and have at it. Also, if you think about it, in Canon, Lilith is “dead” for approximately 4 MR days (they don’t really make keeping track of time easy in the show), which would then be about 9 years on The Other Side. Just what was Reya doing with her in all that time?

Points I took from Simon Barry's latest interview

the Tarask attack in season one was supposed to happen on a train???

Mother Superion was supposed to die in season two and Mary would replace her role as superior (and take vows as result)

Ava would come back evil in season 3 (not in a deliberate way) and act as Reya's weapon.

Beatrice has gone missing and the OCS needs to go out and search for her because she's the only one who can snap Ava out of her mindset.

"Beatrice would have to save her in an emotional/psychic/loving way..."

Ava wouldn't age (physically) on the other side.

Lilith killed her mother (in end of season two)
