In this essay I will try to convince everyone this means there'll be a triple synergy attack that can only be activate when Tifa's party leader-

May I propose a quite likely erroneous theory for why Gawain is associated with May?

His name.

Even if that etymology is wrong, it could have been influential, to the source or to the scholarship. At any rate, it’s a compelling reason to celebrate Gawain in May.

Ellian my friend Ellian I'm going mad please help me locate the source for Gawain's birthday on May 1st I remember seeing it and now I can't verify to save my life. Phoning a friend rn.....thank you<3

okay im trying to find it right now but one of the earliest mentions of it on tumblr i can find is from lou's blog here and lou mentions here that it's from an academic article

reading my friends posts and remembering everything I love about how flawed and complex Misa is and has the potential to be if Ohba wasn't a COWARD/hj

like... she searches for basically a replacement for the authority figures in her life after losing hers..

she “loves” Light because he's Kira and the reason for that “love” is because he enacted that revenge that she couldn't. she admires Kira and is grateful to him and because of that she wants to serve him and make him happy like he made her- but she doesn't necessarily love him.

I think people forget that she was orphaned at an age that is 1) quite old enough to understand what's happening 2) not old enough to live without any guidance 3) not old enough to understand the world (the brain doesn't develop until 25 iirc) and a few more things I forgot HAHAJAJHAJAHA. But Misa's at such a fragile stage in her life when she's preparing to cross that threshold from child to adulthood, and she doesn't have the support she needs to do it. Even attaching herself to Light/Kira, who she subconsciously understands as a suitable protector, doesn't provide her that assistance she - everyone - needs at such a pivotal point in their life.

also, another person could easily take Light's place as a - I'm going to say parental but in the sense she needs comfort, protection, guidance - figure. Light doesn't show Misa very much affection at all, so if someone were to provide her with that love, she'd probably attach herself to them too - though I suppose I think Misa is very loyal, so I don't think she'd abandon Light completely, as we see pre timeskip (spent enough time together to form a genuine bond) but after memory loss (doesn't remember he's Kira).

I'm realising I didn't really make all my points for the opening statement. but oh well. Misa's character has so much potential to be interesting and have that internal conflict and it's mostly wasted :(

i think its been well documented that each episode since wild blue yonder has had a name check (if you dont know what that is, its whey they say the name of the show/episode title in the episode itself), and i was wondering, since its not the same character every time, could there be a connection between them? i cant think of anything but i did make a list of every character who spoke the first name checking line in each episode so if anyone else can find a connection then do add it in the tags anyways heres the list:

wild blue yonder - donna noble the giggle - the doctor the church on ruby road - the doctor space babies - the doctor the devils chord - timothy drake boom - the doctor 73 yards - ruby sunday dot and bubble - lindy pepperbean rogue - rogue the legend of ruby sunday - carla sunday empire of death - TBA

Listen, I’m just saying he’s probably got a pretty good scowling face. He can’t be smiling ALL the time.

[mrboatfacegachahell]

seeing how the stakes have been slowly raising in the main story over the last few years i hope the natlan archon quest ramps things up to 11. i've been catching up to genshin lore and theories for a while now and, even if i think this is ultimately baseless and i'm no expert so please don't be rude if i'm wrong, i think the fatui want to resurrect the 3rd descender and that will happen in natlan.

capitano beats the shit out of the pyro archon and dottore gets to work with her gnosis and the other 6 gnosis (the tsarits would of course have handed her own) in bringing back the being whose body and essence was used to create the gnosis, the 3rd Descender. this would, of course, upset the Heavenly Principles. I guess the Sustainer could show up, but i also think the Heavenly Principles has been greatly weakened since the Cataclysm, so either nothing happens or the Sustainer shows up but gets obliterated by Capitano + the resurrected Descender (or by Columbina. god i want to see that little damselle be terryfying, i dont think we'll see her in natlan tho). the point is that if the sustainer shows up she'll get folded like a chair. at least thats my theory. its not an educated guess, it's just what i wish would happen lol

anyway genshin is brainrotting me once again so you can expect this blog to feature more genshin than nikke or the other gachas i've tried to get into this week (hsr and path to nowere to be specific)

Speculation Station: Eve is Lute

I have an idea for the Eve is Lute theory. Since Lucifer gave Eve the apple and in turn Lucifer and Lilith were punished, I think Heaven gave Eve a pass.

She didn’t know how to resist temptation and was manipulated into taking the apple. If Heaven blamed her, she would have been cast into Hell alongside them, but there is no mention of Eve in Hell.

Heaven deemed Lucifer a troublemaker because of his grandiose ideas.

They believed he was going to threaten the order of their world long before he had given humanity free will. They were waiting for a chance to banish him.

With this one action, that’s when the higher ups decided to get rid of him and Lilith who was alive.

Don’t forget that she was there at the time Lucifer gave Eve the apple. Lilith hadn’t died yet. By banishing her to Hell, Heaven had basically killed her, if you really think about it.

So what of Eve? She was left out of the sentencing in the origin story.

Yes, you could point out that Charlie wouldn’t know what happened since Lucifer and Lilith were banished before Heaven dealt with Eve.

But if she ended up in Hell, Lucifer would know. So, the blame for the original sin was placed on Lucifer and Lilith rather than Eve.

It would absolutely make sense if Eve was put on probation. Heaven kept a careful watch of her during her tenure on Earth. Even while she had free will, Heaven considered her worthy enough.

Unless purgatory exists in the Hazbin universe and we have yet to see it. Sera mentions divine judgement and that it doesn’t happen in Heaven, since she doesn’t know how souls get to Heaven.

Nor does she mention knowing how divine judgement works. If it was this all holy process, she would brag about how it happens as she and Saint Peter bragged about how great Heaven is.

But I digress, unlike the actual Bible, there’s no mention of Eve offering Adam the apple.

If she thought eating the apple was something worthwhile, she would have also given it to Adam. So, instead of spreading sin, she kept it contained.

There isn’t any criteria that we know of for humans to get into Heaven after death.

Hazbin may possibly be going the Lucifer (The Fox turned Netflix series) route in terms of redemption. If you have seen the series, you know what I mean.

I’m going to go into more detail in another post, but as of now there are a few possibilities (none confirmed, just speculation):

Resolution of guilt

Self satisfaction (you don’t believe you did anything bad in life)

Selflessness (You live your life to better others lives)

Someone else is punished for your sin in your place

Those are only a few things I could think of as of now. I’ll explain later.

Now, onto why I think she’s most likely Lute. Lute considers sinners to be irredeemable, which may be her projecting. She is so disgusted by herself for falling for Lucifer’s ploy to get her to eat the apple. She tries to separate herself from who she was on Earth.

So, she prides herself on the fact she can combat the evil that stemmed from Lucifer’s tricks. She tries to be the best at it. Both her and Adam have this Holier Than Thou attitude, and I don’t think that’s only because they got into Heaven.

I think she’s fond of the exterminations because she’s getting revenge against Lilith, the woman who helped sew the original sin into the Earth. Lute gets to take from her because she believes Lilith tainted her.

Lute is extremely spiteful. She hates the fact sinners caused so much pain on Earth and get to live relatively consequence free in Hell.

So the exterminations combat that. She wholeheartedly supports the event year after year.

Lute still displays the behaviors that would come with eating the forbidden fruit.

In life, she wasn’t held accountable and Lucifer went to Hell in her place. After passing judgement, she got to revert back to her normal self. She displays the behavior of a sinner.

Lute is judgmental, prideful, and egoistic just to name a few — she may not have every characteristic, but it’s enough to be considered for Hell.

(Like what did that child Vaggie spared even do? Are there kid checklists like if they like steal a toy they go to hell?)

Lute has motivations other than just believing that since she is an angel, it’s her duty to keep Hell’s population low. Outside of that one reason, this seems personal to her. It makes sense for the reason for this is that she was Eve.

Lute sticks close to Adam, doesn’t mind that he gets to be with other women as long as he’s happy, and even after the exterminations they’re still seen together, so it’s deeper than a working relationship.

Eternity is a long time, it makes sense that they would experiment.

I felt that I had to mention this since this is a large part of why I began to think Eve was Lute, but that’s not the main basis of my theory. It’s Lute’s actions so far and how she remains adamant to keep killing sinners and firmly believes that Hell is where they’re meant to be.

Lucifer was the sacrifice for Eve’s entrance into Heaven.

She pins the blame on him, as does Heaven. Eve never had to show any qualities of goodness, and puts the responsibility of being an exterminator on herself as some sort of penance.

Or she just enjoys murder.

She doesn’t show any sign of guilt, only malice and a feeling of superiority so far.

There are a lot of holes in this, but hey, I’m just throwing this out there. Maybe some of it will be right or all of it will be wrong. Only time will tell.

Rotating Simon Petrikov in my mind again...........

Right now I can only envision the F&C series ending in one of two ways for him:

Simon is persuaded to permanently move to Fionna's magic-free world--a chance to live the peaceful, scholarly life he was denied by the war and the Crown. We see that he can't relate to the humans in Ooo because they're so far removed from what humans were like back in his time that they might as well be aliens, but this alternate world would be just like he remembered his old life to be, and thus more comfortable for him to settle down in. Even if it meant leaving Marceline and the others behind in Ooo, I could see this being a real possibility if Betty somehow finds a way to go with him. It would require moving on irrevocably from one part of his life, but they'd get their simple, mundane--yet happy--ending.

Simon is forced to reconcile with the fact that reuniting with Betty is either impossible or not worth some terrible price. Maybe he realizes he's not willing to cut himself off from his Marceline and the little ragtag family they've built, even for a life with Betty. Or maybe accepting the mundane life for himself would also doom Fionna and Cake to a life of misery and broken dreams, and he can't bring himself to betray his new friends for such a selfish reward. Either way the result is that he returns to Ooo, to basically the same situation he was in at the start of the season, but finally free from all the regret and guilt and grief that was stopping him from moving forward and finally embracing the second chance that Betty gave him back in "Come Along with Me".

I honestly don't know which I think is more likely at this point OR necessarily which one I would prefer, because they both have pros and cons. I maybe lean toward the second one because I tend to hate "the magic is gone, and that's good!"-type endings, but depending on the buildup I could still see it working. Ultimately it'll depend on wherever Fionna and Cake themselves end up, and I have NO idea where that's going lmao

I believe that IF Silver IS a descendent of Sonic/Shadow/Amy/anyone else, he's a descendent via adoption because the only Sonic character that I accept having kids is Vanilla.

honestly part of the reason im not a fan of the ideas of silver being a descendant of other characters we already know is because i just dont see why its necessary for them to be related ..? idk i just dont think anything that could be gained from him being shadows kid or sonics descendant or whatever is worth losing part of whats already compelling about silver and also making things super confusing. plus none of the pairings of already existing characters people have suggested as silvers bio parents make any sense, usually because its impossible from a timeline perspective but also because theyre always picking characters who would NOT have kids either in general or with the specific people theyre being paired with

thank you for blessing us with twst pokemon au i appreciate it greatly. if i may ask you a question

how does one read book 7 without selling their soul to the deep dark web. i've been wanting to read the other parts for a while but i can't find a place with all the chapters. i've seen translations on youtube but i don't think they have all of them?

(also why'd you government name mickey like that on your last post what did he do)

thank you! :D

I'm not really sure where to find up-to-date main story translations, so opening it up to the floor for other people to chime in! for reference, the latest release in JP was episode 7 chapter 6 on December 11th, which covered 7-88 through 7-100. fingers crossed for more in February...but that's where we're at right now!

Idea: maybe Min is a weird wolf cause as an alpha he was taught how to be a wolf by an omega with beta tendencies. And obvi not hate to Ji, but I can’t remember if you said Min had beta tendencies too? Thoughts?

~🥝

oohhh, interesting concept. it'd imply that their animal behaviour can be highly affected by social influence.... i think to some degree that could be true, but i'm sure Minho just doesn't know how to interpret his instincts, which is why he's weird (and because he's obsessed with kamen rider...... i'm joking, i'm joking.......).

and yes, he's got beta tendencies, too. probably a result of his lack of understanding of his own alpha needs, as well as his inherit nature.

going absolutely bonkers thinking about dragonfable book 4 because

i've heard rumblings that book 4 is when we finally get fleshweaver. if that's true it means 2 things (imo)

piotr and secundus have a larger part in the story

aegis...it's been confirmed iirc that in order to become a fleshweaver you'd have to "consume" aegis. i think that's vastly interesting but i also worry, because df just categorically does not give players branching narrative choices that make a lasting difference -- so that would mean that aegis probably disappears from book 4 altogether because the game just can't account for two divergent paths (either he's in a quest or he isn't)

the one potential spark of hope is that you can actually choose a faction for the tytan questlines and it leads to persistent differences in cutscenes/dialogue (although you can now reset your faction iirc.) so you could have code under the hood PERMANENTLY sorting players into like, an "aegis is alive" faction and an "aegis is consumed" faction with no opportunity to reset, which would be a really exciting next step for df's storytelling...

always on my mind: the elemental spirit in the arena of time with a scar across his nose. never not thinking about him. what does it all mean.
