so i was looking at ahab's office like a normal person and i noticed something

first of all, all off the sketching on the front of her desk implies she spent multiple hours just on the floor of her office etching various notes about whales in the wood of her room. second of all

HEY? HEY THIS IS THE PALLID WHALE, RIGHT? IT HAS TO BE, SINCE IT HAS THE SAME FUCKED UP EYE AND OF COURSE AHAB WOULD HAVE A POSTER OF THE PALLID WHALE IN HER ROOM WITH A KNIFE STABBED THROUGH IT. SO, THEN, WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THE MASSIVE HAND ON IT'S UNDERSIDE????? HELLO????? HAS ANYBODY ELSE NOTICED THIS???????????

My personal headcanon for the WH Mirror World is that Ishmael agreed to be a maid under the Edgar Family because she knew the heir was a sickly waif of a man who would probably croak from TB in a decade or two and she can train up to face Ahab in that amount of time, but unfortunately she got really attached to the sickly waif of a man she was banking on dying young.

me when queequeg gave ishmael one last pained look and asked her to tell her her name once more

so when she finally died, she could look at HER sunset because she could never do it outside the whale in a future with her lover

i'm gonna be sick canto v was so good and ishmael is now attempting to grapple with a second loss of queequeg but now with an emotional support system

(gif by me, just ask to use it if you want 🫶)

[projectmoon-smash-or-pass]

for the people who asked for it (repeatedly)

propaganda:

✅ "WHALE SMASH WHALE SMASH WHALE SMASH WHALE SMASH WHALE SMASH"

✅ "i mean they dont call it a sperm whale for nothing"

✅ "being turned into a freaky fish thing with no free will by a whale shaped eldritch horror would fix me"

❌ "pass on pallid whale because if I smashed I think ahab would impale me and not the sexy way the murder way"

✅ "nevermind smash whale I hate ahab and I could probably parry her harpoon"

✅ "WHITE WHALE HOLY GRAIL"

✅️ "fuck the fish to enrage ahab."

✅️ "Smash the whale to get Ahab to chase you so you can smash her too"

✅️ "Call me Ahab the indigo elder ishmael all 3 of the cunts listed before the way I’m gonna put my harpoon in that whale"

❌ "ahab is still married to the whale"

Curious anon returns! Another question about the pallid flame if I may...

The info sheet mentions the user of the pallid flame being able to shape weapons out of their blood, right? I was wondering if someone who fully mastered the pallid flame would be able to pull the iron from that blood to create an iron weapon on the fly? Cause that would be a cool skill to have!

Ding ding ding ~✨🎉 exactly! That's one of the most common uses I imagined for the Pallid Flame! I'm glad to hear the explanation was readable enough and very thankful for your interest in speculating about it 🩵

Anything in your system can be used, so yes! A rough explanation of what would happen is: you take iron from your reserves, force it to move up to a wound (you still need some sort of aperture if you want to create a tool outside the body, otherwise it will pierce the skin, which would still work but hurt much more), and from there you manipulate the "stream" of iron into the shape you want.

That's something that would need a high level of training to pull off, it's much more common to freeze the blood and keep your body temperature low so that you can keep the tool frozen while wielding it.

If anyone has any suggestions about potential pallid flame uses, I'd love to hear them! The concept is always evolving and developing so I'm always open to new suggestions, it helps me in shaping KW one step at a time. And if something isn't clear, as always, I'm here to explain! No question is a stupid question 🩵

canto v thoughts???!!!

SPOILERS FOR CANTO V

So turns out ishmael was referring to her captain as the bastard not the whale. Meanwhile, we have a color who REALLY wanted to hunt the whale

Really interesting how Vergilius says "There are Five Calamities... well, Four now I suppose." and when asked what he means he says "You'll find out soon enough..."

I don't think this just means seeing the effects of the Pallidification.

I believe he knew The Indigo Elder was on the prowl.

The old boatman... god I fucking love The Indigo Elder so much he's so fucking COOL FUCK!!!

So fun fact about Auspice!Rodya, she likes the sea

Like, she Really likes it. Though it's more of a neat little interest that is similar to people's obsession over greek mythology (or similar to how Laios Dungeon Meshi views monster cuisine (...I think, I really need to continue watching it))

Not sure how much this changes, but her dialouge about the Laws of the Lake in Canto V part 1 changes because of this, since she's actually familiar with how the Lake operates (at a very basic level, at the very least), she just doesn't know what happens when the laws are defied aside from "Bad Idea™" until the Waves hit in the Canto
