Backstory
Eons ago, when the Elder Gods defeated the One Being and created the realms, they decided to create weaker beings known as protector gods in order to guard the realm, and most importantly, the consciousness of the creatures living in them. To preserve their power and position, the Elder Gods needed a system to keep the mortals’ minds in utter darkness, so they established the Order of The Elder Gods. The protector gods’ main function and purpose was to blindly serve this order.
However, one of the realms contained a slightly bigger portion of the One Being’s consciousness which eventually led to “metal magic” being formed in that realm, and the people to be more susceptible to becoming conscious and aware. This realm needed a much more powerful god therefore the Elder Gods gathered a bit of each one their essence to create Falkus, the god of metals.
Falkus was gifted with the divine and perilous power of manipulating all kinds of metal. Falkus was dictated to be kind, selfless and wise, so he wouldn’t use his immense power in any ways that was unpleasant to The Elder Gods. He was a weapon.
Falkus began his duty while learning more about the cult and how to serve it properly. But well, everything comes with a price. In order to protect the Metalrealm, the most valuable thing he had, he had to kill many parts of himself. And just as the Elder Gods desired, he was very much willing to do that.
He didn’t need to sleep. He didn’t need to eat. He was merely a machine on high alert to exterminate any threats on sight. And to be honest, he did enjoy it because Metalrealm was everything he had.
But while fulfilling his duty as an obedient dog, he gradually realized that there isn’t anything in him for him to call a self. He couldn’t even permit himself to fall in love because well, he didn’t want his lover to be crushed under the pressure; just like what he was beginning to feel.
But sadly, he fell in love with a mortal man. He thought maybe he could make things work out. He was a powerful god, wasn’t he?
But in the end, he lost the only person who reminded him of himself. He simply walked out of his life. Who wanted an unavailable husband who was out there saving asses almost all the time?
Falkus was broken from the inside. Episodes of derealization and depersonalization became worse and more often. Symptoms of depression began to bloom in his every day life.
He was falling apart.
After that, he became scared of intimacy. He wasn’t going to fall for anyone, or make anyone to fall for him ever again. The walls around his heart were growing higher and higher.
And that doomed day arrived. Falkus was informed that a group of rebellions attacked one of the cultists in a sanctuary in Metalrealm. And, obviously, it was Falkus’s duty to eliminate them as soon as possible. Even though he wasn’t in any shape to do it, he tracked them down anyhow. Eventually, he found their outpost. Then, the Elder Gods directly ordered him to sabotage.
He tottered all the way to the outpost, and upon arriving, he learned that a group of rebels were already sent to launch an extensive attack. Currents of panic flooded his chest. Many innocent people would die if he didn’t get there immediately, and even the soldiers couldn’t do much. He didn’t care about the cultists anymore. Metalrealmers needed him more than anything, but there he was; executing Elder God’s stupid orders. And he couldn’t care less about the consequences of defying them.
Briefly, he abandoned the arena and ran to the promised location. However, it was pretty late. He fought and exterminated those rebels, eventually. But he couldn’t protect everyone just because the cultists were the Gods’ sweethearts. Falkus’s gaze wandered to a child drowning in his own blood. He felt like all of the buildings nearby collapsed on his head. He fell to his knees, and brought the child’s bloodied head to his chest. A few minutes later, his face was wet with thick streams of tears and his wail echoed in the ruins and ashes. The Elder Gods would step on anyone and anything just to maintain their power and control. He was just a tool and mortals were victims.
The day after, the Elder Gods summoned him. Not only did he defy them, but he also prioritized the lives of some metalrealmers instead of a couole of helpless cultists. He deserved to die, or at least be banished to the Netherrealm. But the real problem was that they needed him. He was too powerful and useful to be put aside so easily.
The Elder Gods declared his penalty: He was not allowed to leave Metalrealm under any circumstances. When he heard this, he could only laugh, hysterically. His hatred for them erupted, and he had mental breakdown before all of them. He told them that no one was powerful enough to protect the Metalrealm, and that they’d fail without him. In conclusion, his punishment was reduced in severity. He could exit the realm, but he was not allowed to use his powers outside.
This was enough to send him through a panic attack. Metalrealm was all he existed for. It was the nearest definition he knew of himself. And the cult was taking it from him just like it took everything else.
After a while of isolating himself, he learned about Delia’s vision about a near future: a girl raising armies against the cult. Falkus made his decision. He wanted his freedom no matter what, even if it meant using an innocent girl.
Falkus was reborn, and he was going to return himself to him.

Presenting my very own take on the Goddesses!
🌺Cetrion and Delia!☀️
The Goddess of Life, Light and Virtue and the Goddess of Sun and Bearer of the Eternal Flame!
Tumblr media
For their dynamics:
They are good friends!
Though Delia ascended to Godhood and Cetrion was born a Goddess, Delia was still a Goddess longer than Cetrion (as Outworld is waaaaaaaay older than Earthrealm) so for a while, Delia played the role of mentor for Cetrion!
Cetrion was trying to become a better Goddess for Earthrealm than she was in her past life (she doesn't quite remember why she was bad, but she knows she was and is trying to atone), so any help and advice was welcomed!
And as the younger Goddess likes Delia, she naturally DESPISES Argus! The Sun God and the Light Goddess have a TERRIBLE relationship, often bickering and insulting each other!
Cetrion tries to be on her best behaviour for Delia, but it really doesn't help that Argus won't put on the same effort!
Cetrion used to like Amara, Delia's favourite mortal and good friend. But their relationship took a critical hit once the Sorceress had an affair with Argus. They barely talk nowadays, and things will only get worse now that Amara's son, Zeffeero, flooded the whole Kingdom of Seido💀
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, allow me to ramble a whole lot about their designs! 👀 💚 ❤️
Starting with Cetrion:
Yes, I did redesign her head to toe😅
I REALLY love the idea of her being Mother Nature herself and I wanted her new design to show that she's fully embraced the tittle and is dedicated of making caring for all life in Earthrealm her true purpose!
So the main idea here is that she's a walking ecosystem, every part of her, from body to robes are an environment that carries actual fauna within them!
Her hair was inspired by my favourite brazilian tree, the pink Ipê! She can change her hair at will, to make it resemble all types of different trees, and you can always find birds, bees and butterflies flying around her!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Her robes are an actual ocean, and if you look closer, you may find a variety of fishes swimming in there! You can even attempt to fish one for yourself, but be careful not to fall in to the water!
Speaking of careful, her magma body is usually safe to touch, though she can make herself unbearably hot, to the point a simple touch can melt your skin!
Her freckles are stars she crafted but were not used in any galaxy design, but as she's very attached to her creations and didn't want to see these go to an waste, she decided to wear them herself!
The flowers on her belt and arm are... well, Cetrion flowers, they grow on her only and have medical properties. They are trusted to the her warriors only, more specifically, to her head healer, who is also the Grandmistress of the Order of Cetrion! (Harumi got to use them once she graduated as Umgadi warrior and proved herself worthy of the tittle of head healer)
Now for Delia:
I'll start by saying I wasn't feeling at all confident while working on her🫣
I genuinely don't like her canon design-- really, she probably has my least favourite design ever! She's hypersexualized to an extreme. Her skirt and veil are so vastly different that they just DON'T match at all, and her top is just offensive!
Like--
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
What in the ever loving heck am I looking at?? (ಠ_ಠ)
MK couldn't just screw her over by giving her a shitty husband, an evil son and death. They also had to give her an awful design!
*Sigh* anyways... despite my strong opinions on this design, I believed a couple alterations could make me like it better.
So for her I started my giving her whole attire ONE main colour, which is the dark red.
I get that her skirt was trying to emulate a flame with that gradient, except they also messed that one up cause guess what? In a flame, the lighter yellow/orange part -> 🔥 is on the bottom!
And let's be real, her whole design would've improved 110% if they had made the gradient go from red to orange, the skirt would match the top, it would properly emulate a flame and for once, the colours wouldn't look all over the place on her!
Now as Delia is a Goddess here I really wanted her attire to stand out and look alive and magical (much like Cetrion's) so instead of a common gradient, I gave her a whole living flame! It glows and moves inside her dress!
I also wanted a special thing for her jewelleries and details on the veil, so I made them the sun's surface :D they were fun!
Tumblr media
And who would've guessed the sun would make such perfect jewellery, huh? Lol!
For reference, Suchin's Blessed Swords look like Delia's jewellery (but she doesn't use them yet, only when she grows up and take over the position as the family's vigilante)!
And Jade has a protection amulet like this too. She has had it with her since forever, but she just can't for the life of her, remember who gave it to her! Learning it might belong to Delia is what encouraged her to go seek answers among the Umgadi.
And for the final touch, the symbol on her veil is of the Umgadi!
Oh, hi! You made it to the end! :D
Before I wrap this all up, a huge thanks to @rasta-bot and her amazingly inspiring work on Delia and Edenia!!💕💕
And as always, my beautiful girlies, hope you enjoy the reading! @mikka-minns @thedragonholder @orbitinytheworld @madamealtruist @moody-bloos 💕💕

Mirror Kronika/TR Kronika
The former Elder Goddess of Time and mother of Shinnok and Cetrion. Kronika had existed since before the creation of the realms as we know them, when everything which existed were the Elder Gods and The One Being. She and her children were among the survivors when The One Being started feeding in the Elder Gods’ essence, participating in the subsequent war against them which ended with The One Being’s split thanks to the power of the Kamidogu and the creation of the realms as a consequence.
Always curious and in search of learning more, although Kronika had agreed with her fellow Elder Gods no keep a non-interference policy to allow the beings in the new realms to have the free will The One Being had tried to deny them, she created a third child, Geras, who would occasionally travel through the mortal realms and keep her informed of their situation.
At first, whenever Kronika was told, all she could hear was imperfection. Always a perfectionist, especially with her capability of using her powers to see the past and the most likely (but not inevitable) futures, she had very clear ideas of how events through the realms should play out so the universe could eventually achieve its most ideal state. Which wars were necessary to achieve eventual peace, who should live and die to improve others’ future, which evil needed to raise to motivate the creation of a greater good. Those thoughts being restrained by the Elder Gods’ non-interference policy kept her frustrated for millions and millions of years, feeling more willing to break her non-interference bow each time. It reached a point in which she was truly ready, to challenge her fellow Elder Gods and use her abilities to manipulate time to dictate events from the beginning of time, to impose her will over everyone and everything… just like The One Being.
It was that single moment of doubt, that chill that went through her spin at the realization of what she was about to become which made her stop just in time. Considering herself too dangerous to wield her own power any longer, she spoke with the other Elder Gods about the possibility of retiring and sealing her power away. It was collectively decided to go on with her decision, despite Shinnok and Cetrion’s insistence that she was being too harsh on herself. Kronika gave up her Elder God status, with most of her power being taken away and trusted to the other Elder Gods to keep away from the hands of any being, themselves included. Kronika kept just enough of her power to maintain her basic abilities and be capable of watching the past and future of the realms, something in her still holding onto that despite knowing what it almost had made her do. Although, for her own good and everyone else’s, she decided to use this ability more sparingly by transferring it to an object she created, the Hourglass.
Kronika would keep herself in the Heavens, the realm where the Elder Gods were and which was also destined to be the afterlife of the mortal souls The Elder Gods considered worthy. With her status gone, Kronika now had time to interact with the mortals there, especially helpful since she was now separated from her fellow and had no company besides Geras. During that time she was able to connect with mortals for the first time, and even form friendships. This allowed her to start meeting them more closely than she could have ever through her visions of past and future events or through the Hourglass.
Some of her new friends recommended her to visit other realms so she could understand them better. Though hesitant at first, she decided to do it, and it worked. Through visits to all kinds of different places across the realms, in which she managed to meet many people she also grew close to, she managed to know them better, especially how important their lives were for many of them. She ended up realizing that every event mortals went through was of vital importance, it made them who they were for the better or worse. She had no right to dictate their fates, and she fully accepted it this time, not out of fear of what she could become, but out of genuine desire to do so. She even stopped using the Hourglass, as a sign of letting her paranoia for what the future could hold behind. She would keep doing her occasional visits through mortal realms to always remember that lesson, and in one of them she would meet someone who would become very important.
Delia was just a young talented magic student of Edenia at that point. She had recognized Kronika when they coincidentally crossed paths, and asked her to teach her all she knew, believing she could use her lessons to serve her realm better eventually. Feeling curiosity for the new experience being a teacher to a mortal and believing the girl wouldn’t be able to replicate any of her more problematic abilities, she accepted, staying some time there to share her knowledge with her. She turned out to be wrong when, thanks to her talent for magic and dedication alongside Kronika’s teachings, Delia was able to recreate Kronika’s lost ability of seeing possible futures, if more limited to just some visions from time to time. A surprised Kronika spent a lot of time advising the young student of the dangers of having such a power, what had almost caused her to do. Delia actually seemed to understand, and promised to only put them into, in her own words, her realm’s service… Trusting Delia enough to let her handle that subject, Kronika left Edenia and continued with her routine.
For thousands of years, Kronika has seen the conflicts among the realms increase thanks to the actions of the Edenian Regime. She has discovered that her once student had something to do with it, which had made her feel regret, something which only increases each time she visits a realm affected by said conflicts. Which, added to the fact that her own children are also in conflict in the Netherrealm, has again made her wish to intervene, but this time not to dictate any fate, but to prevent mortal fates’ be dictated by tyrants. The only thing which is holding her back is her constant fear of losing her way if she ever comes back to action, which she will surely need to confront sooner or later…

MK1 Rain Theory/Idea
Tumblr media
I have a theory/idea that Rain was a god but was cast down by his parents and became a mortal. Because I hoped for demigod Rain to be explored in this timeline, I don’t like the idea of Rain being a sorcerer. It’s not the worst decision since Rain can still be a well-written character, though I was still disappointed. 
This idea came to me randomly so it’ll most likely be disjointed which I apologize for. I was inspired by Greek mythology. There is a story of Zeus stripping his children, specifically Apollo, of their powers and making them mortals so they learn a lesson. 
Here is my theory/idea:
Born the youngest son of the gods Argus and Delia, Rain was a powerful god of water. He had a happy life with his parents and brothers- Taven and Daegon, but grew to be arrogant and believing mortals were lesser than him. This attitude led to his downfall. Alongside his brothers, Rain threatened to harm a country due to them not worshiping his family to his satisfaction. Disgusted by their children’s behavior, Argus and Delia stopped their children and planned to punish their children accordingly. With the help of Liu Kang, Argus and Delia decided to strip their sons’ godhood and have them reborn in the mortal realm- Outworld- so they learn to appreciate and care for mortals. Rain- regressed to a baby- would be raised as Zeffeero by a woman called Amara. He would grow to be kinder and ambitious, leading him to learn sorcery and become the kingdom’s high mage; I headcanon that Rain used his water magic to heal people as well. He’d live his life on the right path until Shang Tsung manipulated him and unleashed his darker impulses. His actions in the game would still be the same, including his sort of redemption in his tower ending. 
In a future game, the Taven/Daegon plot could return though, instead of their quest is to prevent Armageddon, Rain, Taven, and Daegon would race to their family’s original temple (through memories and clues left by their parents) for the chance to regain their godhood as long as they are deemed worthy. Other characters can be involved by the villains learning this and trying to achieve godhood while the heroes try to stop them. This gives NRS the opportunity to bring back Taven, Daegon, Argus, Delia, and Blaze into the New Era. Rain’s story could end either with him being a god again but with a better understanding and care for mortals or he decides to stay mortal. 
I don’t think this will happen in the game since I think the canon reason why Rain is not a god/demigod is because Liu Kang didn’t want to risk him becoming the arrogant, power-hungry person he was in previous timelines. Also, the Armageddon tower was already referenced in MK1 so it'll most likely not come back.

Besides the protector gods, these are some of the known members of the Cult of The Elder Gods:
Hanzo Hasashi, Bi-han and Kuai Liang, Liu Kang and Kung Lao, Bo Rai Cho, Sindel, King Jerrod, Delia, Kotal Kahn, Shujinko, Taven and Takeda.
Sonya Blade and Nightwolf are not official cultists, but their actions have benefited the cult many times.

I love the Guaraná plant!!! It's so weird and somewhat freaky!! It doesn't even look real! I want one so bad! 😂 You don't only have amazing myths, you also have an amazing fauna!
You have a really cool take on Delia's godhood, especially her rise towards it. It's a good callback to her OG status as a normal edenian to her new one as a goddess.
I wonder if the hordes of darkness she and the other sorceresses had to face were a result of Shinnok somehow. I mean, he is the Elder God of death, darkness and corruption after all.
This got me wondering about your god hierarchy because from what I get, in your AU there are only gods, not elder gods. So does Shinnok exist? Is he still a god and Cetrion's brother? IIRC, his amulet appears in MK1 but only because it was brought from another timeline and I wonder what Liu Kang did to Shinnok (was it said???) because you can't just erase death y'know?? 😭
Hi Rasta! Thanks for the ask!!💕
YEEEES! Guaraná is a true national GEM!💚
And we gotta love a hard-core backstory, like, "grown out of a dead child's eyes and watered with mourning tears??" Who gave this little plant the right to be this edgy??😂😂
If you're interested in a taste, Guaraná makes a delicious soda! (You can find it in France (I searched))
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And if you're also interested in our folklore, I highly recommend the series "Invisible City" on Netflix! It, unfortunately, only had two seasons but it's great to get to know some of our myths!
My absolute favourite character is Inês, the Cuca! Her myth comes from this lullaby:
"Sleep little baby, that the Cuca is coming to get you. Father went to the fields and mom left for work. Bogeyman, get off the roof, let the little baby sleep soundly."🎶
She's also a powerful witch with an alligator's face! Though in the series, she has a regular face and a butterfly motif rather than an alligator's. But the most important is: She is a QUEEN!
She steals the show and will steal your heart! 👑

Alessandra Negrini rocked in this role!💕💕💕
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Ok, back to Delia!
I was so hoping the Brazilian folklore inspired origin would catch your eye and I'm so glad it did! 💚💛 I highly appreciate you reading through my walls of texts and finding amusement in them!
In general I'm glad you liked the result!!🥹❤️
And now, regarding the Gods/Elder Gods:
There are two types of gods: The ones who are born Gods, such as Argus and Cetrion. And the ones who ascended into Godhood, such as Delia and Asgaarth!
Godly-borns spawn into existence according to their realms necessities. Outworld lived in darkness, so the God of Light and Fire was born and Earthrealm needed to bear life, so the Goddess of Life, Light and Virtue was born!
Meanwhile Ascended Gods were once mortal beings who sacrificed themselves for their people and were gifted Godhood. Their godly blessings allow them to offer their people what they need the most to survive and prosper.
Delia's people needed a more constant light and protection from the hordes of darkness, so she was gifted the sun and through it, she helped her people.
In life, Asgaarth was the advisor of the First Edenian Queen, Mimh (who's soul nowadays rests in the oldest tree of the Living Forest), he ascended after dying protecting a group of wanderers. He became the God of Wind and Patron of Travellers and graced the wanderers, who had accepted him as one of their own and also pleaded the gods to take him, with powerful wings (and other bird features) that would allow them to travel far and safe!
It is an unspoken rule that Ascended Gods have a closer relationship with the mortals and get to handle their affairs more often. Godly-borns tend to keep a safe distance as they lack a certain empathy only mortals possess.
The only exception is Cetrion, who tried to be a more present Goddess and directly serve her Realms residents.
I've been pondering for a while on how much of the previous timeline and Kronika Cetrion remembers, and through her redesign I think I got my answers! She remembers everything! And she's doing her hardest to go against her mother's desings for her (like I said, it's her rebellious phase, lol)
Which is why she decided to stay closer to the Ascended Gods instead, to learns from them and ultimately grow closer to the mortals under her protection. Acting as such granted her the trust and devotion of the Shirai family and all the women who would become the Order of Cetrion!
Liu Kang is an Ascended God but he pretends to be a Godly-born, because he doesn't want risk anyone finding out about his past as Time Keeper. Cetrion knows, obviously, but she keeps secret. She also knows about Geras still being around and helping but both avoid each other cause they aren't yet ready to talk about their past with Kronika.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Gods may be called "Elder Gods" but not because they rank above other Gods, but because they are literally older, lol! It's the same as calling an elder "sir/mr/mrs" it's just a formality (though when Cetrion calls Argus that, she means it in a derogatory way, lmao)
No God, Ascended or Godly-born, is above other. They are all equals!
Regarding on whether Shinnok is alive or not:
I'm not sure about canon, Liu said Shinnok’s Amulet "wasn't supposed to exist" and it could imply either that Shinnok specifically doesn't exist (and maybe there's a new God of Death) or that he hasn't turned evil yet!
Personally I like both ideas and could be open to either! But my main idea is that Shinnok himself doesn't exist as a deity but parts of his being are still present and manifesting in other ways, such as the hordes of darkness! (Because indeed, ou can't just erase death)
Plus, I have an old theory that the New Era also suffers with Canon Events 🎸 and as much as he tries, Liu can't just erase certain things and they end up manifesting in other ways (the Tarkatans, the Shirai Ryu vs the Lin Kuei, Hanzo and Takeda as Shirai Ryu, Tomas as a Lin Kuei, etc, etc) some things are just inevitable and they will happen one way or another, you know?
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Okay, that's what I have for now! Hope it answers your questions (and raise some more cause I love to talk about this AU) and more importantly, hope you enjoy the reading!💕
@mikka-minns @thedragonholder @orbitinytheworld @madamealtruist You girls would like some godly lore?👀

Mirror Argus/TR Argus
The protector god of Edenia, whose respect and authority in the Regime was comparable only to that of the rulers and the other members of his family.
Created a long time ago by the Elder Gods to give his realm a protector against powerful menaces, there was a time in which even him could have been considered young, in need of learning how to fulfill the task he had been created for. He looked for advice among his creators, spending much time in the Heavens learning from them. He tried not to learn just from one in particular, but to find a way to absorb all their wisdoms to draw his own conclusions. The result? Pragmatism, always following the logical decision to achieve the greater good… from his point of view, at least.
Watching the development of the Edenian society while he simply took care of protecting his realm from external menaces, Argus was there when the first signs versions of what’s currently known as the Edenian Regime arose in a certain group of Edenian communities. Their propositions to organize their own society just made sense to him. Edenia had long ago been as divided and infested with conflict as other realms such as Outworld and Earthrealm are nowadays, why would there be any reason to oppose changing it for a Regime that ‘ensured peace was imposed and evil knew no tomorrow’?
Argus decided to break the non-interference policy of the Elder Gods, up to a point. He still wished for mortals to develop themselves, but well, they could use a guide for them to know which were the wisest voices among them. Argus declared himself publicly a supporter of the communities which followed his preferred ideals. This gained said communities even more followers. Eventually, whether it was through negotiations supported by Argus or ‘necessary conquests’, every Edenian community was unified under the ideals Argus supported, finally forming the Edenian Regime. Argus was given a high authority for his support and status, as the most trusted counselor and ally of all the Regime’s rulers.
One day, while performing his duties, Argus would meet the couple of sorceresses, Delia and Amara. He would grow to admire their loyalty and dedication to Edenia, starting to constantly work together with them oftenly. The three of them eventually formed a bond, and that, alongside the benefits they thought forming a family could bring, made them decide to marry and start a life together. The first new members of said family would be Argus’ sons with Delia, Taven and Daegon.
It was no secret that Argus constantly favored Taven over Daegon. And it wasn’t that he had anything against his second son, who was actually an important agent for the Regime too, he just saw it as the logical choice. Taven was the older brother, therefore the one with the more experience and wisdom, something which was confirmed for Argus every time Taven followed orders without questioning as much as Daegon. Besides, in the grand scheme of things, it was just irrelevant for him. They all lived to serve the Regime and ensure the prosperity of their realm, who was favored more in the process was of little to no importance.
Having always been disappointed that his fellow protectors hadn’t managed to bring as much ‘peace’ to their realms as he had and agreeing with Delia and Amara that the mere existence of ‘undisciplined societies’ could eventually bring conflict to Edenia again due to external menaces, he fully supported Delia’s initiative to lead Sindel through the right direction to start the ‘pacification’, and was alongside Delia the main architect of the plans for the Armageddon Quest and Battle after Delia told him about her visions. Of course, we all know that this last decision would cost him much…
Argus currently resides in the Heavens alongside Delia, their deaths preventing them from intervening for the time being, but allowing them to monitor the development of events through the realms thanks to Lady Cetrion’s assistance. They patiently wait for the moment in which they will be able to intervene again, with the aim of fulfilling their and the Regime’s dream to ‘dictate eternal peace’ in all realms.

(one day I'll set up a proper au post but today is not that day)
au hc:
Enenra was a demon created by Delia who's whole purpose was to serve as a knight to the royal family. Those who compete to become Edenia's knight must go through harsh tests to prove their loyalty to the crown.
"Where there's smoke, there's fire."
Once selected, they have a ritualistic sacrifice in the name of Delia so that person is reborn with Enenra fused in their soul. When Edenia fell, the books containing the procedure of the ritual got lost and pages got burnt.
Centuries and millennia has passed before some cultists tried to bring the smoke demon back to life, they had a church and believed if they could get a child to go through the ritual, they could shape them into their perfect weapon.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice review - Beetlebabes Galore 
My rating: 8.7/10 
As far as sequels go, this one pays great homage to the original. More spoiler review under the cut. 
The Good
There's some great things about this film, BJ chasing Lydia down, Delores chasing Beej down, Wolf chasing everyone down, it kinda felt like a wacky hunger games. Of course there were problems with pacing, but it's just as gross and crude, if not more than the first movie. 
The wedding. God the wedding is so bonkers and pretty. I wish it just went on for a little longer. I know MK was running low on time at that point but the visuals with the church are so pretty. The blue/green atmosphere is something else. 
We get confirmation that Lydia is BJ's "love of his life" and fully intends to marry her again pretty early in the film. God Beej was such a loose canon in here and it was so fun to see him again. Every single scene he's trying to win her over, and Lydia's just not having it haha. This whole movie was such a shipfest and you can honestly leave the ending up to interpretation. I personally think they're married - they don't need rings. That scene where they end up in the bed was enough confirmation for me. 
The parallel with Astrid and Jeremy floating and Beetlebabes floating was my favorite thing the whole movie. Jeremy lets Astrid fall and won't help her back up but Beetlejuice makes sure he has a firm hold on Lydia. There's something about manipulation and revenge with Beej/Delores & Rory/Lydia too. Beej is coming from a place of genuine, disgusting love. Everyone else is doing it for their own gain. 
Wolf was also so fun to watch. He's a great addition to the BJ franchise as like a cop/criminal duo with him and BJ. I would've loved to see more of them interacting. Astrid's dad was also a total sweetheart. I wish he had just a little more time in the film. 
The Bad
I will say, the ending was very dissatisfying for BJ. He had done everything asked again, and Lydia signed an actual contract for the marriage this time. He saved Astrid from the Afterlife and saved Lydia from a doomed marriage. But hey, at least we got a hand kiss and that's all I needed LMAO 
Delores. Everything about her felt like an afterthought. We don't really see her much after she smashes Lydia's photo. She's made to be this huge threat and we don't really get to see it. There was a lot of missed potential drama with BJ and Lydia putting on the rings (which were cut, damn it all). I do like how they smashed Rory and Delores together with the sandworm though, girl was definitely thinking about going for him 😂
Astrid. She wasn't a bad character but she wasn't great. She was just very naive and I had a hard time liking her character. The Deetz are the opposite of naive, so it just felt off to me. And especially because Delia bites the bullet by venomous snake bites. It just felt like they were dumbed down just a tad too much. Lydia was the only one who kept a strong head the whole film. 
The tone of the film vs the trailers. In the trailers, we see a very serious nature about the film. Whereas in film, there's so many plots going on in such a small timeframe, it's a little hard to take anything seriously. And speaking of cut, the editing crew makes a hard zoom onto the ring on the floor and never does anything with the shot. There's def some editing issues/plot issues that got cut or scrapped. We'll have to see when the official script releases.
So....
It's a mess. But it's a fun mess. The visuals are beautiful, the characters are fun. It's such a fun rollercoaster of emotions. I'd definitely go see it again.
