[Image ID: A panel of Hope from the webcomic El Goonish Shive. She looks like a middle school age girl with black hair and a headband. Hope is waving her arms and sobbing, "I'm supposed to be someone new, with my own life, but I'm not! I tried to keep being Pandora, but I'm not!" /End ID]

That wasn't very cisgender of you Hope

[privateeye-cj]

Holy sh***

If this was what happened, why did Pandora have grief and self-recrimination for it? in this second, she's more of a hero than anything.

"You do NOT"

I am 100% not up to making a real joke here tonight, so I'm just going to point out that I'm not up for making a joke, and hope at least one person thinks "ah, that's the joke."

In your opinion what is Vertin suitcase animal? I'm trying to draw different gacha games as animals like Stelle and caelus as racoons, chiefs from Path to nowhere as snakes or cats, lumine and aether as bunnies or rabbits, rovers from wuwa as ravens/crow etc.

Friend, you're opening Pandora's box! We used to talk about this A LOT but at the end of the day I think it depends on what side you want to embody.

Frog because of all rain motifs?

Snow leopard cause it kinda looks like her?

Birds for symbolic reasons like liberty, or a caged bird for the exact opposite.

We also joked around about raccoons and possums too.

But I think somewhere along the lines, I stuck with cat because its more comprehensive than the others. Here is how I see it:

Cats are clever, independent, and adaptable. They're curious little things who manage to get into trouble and hang out in places we never thought they could reach. Horrorpedia convinces her to go to Greenlake, Vertin following up on rumors in Mane's Bulletin, and sometimes she chooses to get into trouble along her crew instead of being dragged in (like in Alien T's anecdote).

Cats are cute and stuff, so we see them as vulnerable creatures but they have fangs and claws. They are built to survive! They are hunters but we forget that until they bring back their prey or decide to give us a good chomp. People forget Vertin isn't a bad fighter despite her lack of arcanums. She's strong and agile AEB fighting Schneider, fighting enemies in Labyrinth, subduing Spathodea (literal boxer) with Ezra (who is sweet bby mushroom not a seasoned fighter), and protecting 37 while fighting manus.

They are stealthy, which we see in Vertin as well when she's sneaking around on missions. There is a magical quality to them too. Cats exist beside monsters, demons, humans, and so on in many stories. They're portrayal as something mundane yet still fantastical is something that Vertin embodies. Her "stoicism" also plays into the cat theme but once a cat likes you, you'd be surprised at how expressive they can be! You just need to get to know them.

Cats are alert at night too, sometimes even with Zoomies. Nap during the day, agent of chaos at night. Vertin is shown taking naps and staying up very late. I also like the idea of Kittin living in the Suitcase = Cat in a box. What is a Suitcase but a fancy box we use to carry around?

Cats also collect/hoard things. Socks, shiny things, toys under the couch... I see her a as collector based achievements and other meta (her gathering arcanists, Uttu cards, etc).

If not a cat, my second choice would be a bird. Some type of Corvid. I wish I could give you animals that you didn't already have listed! Maybe some specific type of cat?

But also I like cats and birds so that's a bias I have.

[thejazzywaffles]

Decided to try and put most of the stuff from above into a speculative timeline of sorts, an attempt to make a roadmap of where EGS is going over the next several years. Also, I added some stuff possibly implied in Parable, which I accidentally skipped when rereading NP.

THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE WEDDING (MAY to JULY)

Pandora needs to reveal herself, likely to Sarah, and either fulfill or begin to fulfill her vow. The most likely timing of this is before Edward and Lavender's wedding in July (<2 months left). Pandora also needs to reconnect with Tedd, Adrian, Susan, Diane, and Noah.

Adrian also needs to be present in Moperville before Diane goes to college so that she can explain things to her adoptive parents. For Adrian to be in Moperville, the situation with Magus needs to be wrapped up. For this to be the case, Kaoli needs to have finally made contact with Ellen so they can try to send Magus home, likely in the final "Sister" arc.

Adrian, Susan, Diane, Pandora, Nanase, and Nanase's family are likely to be on Edward's guest list once the wedding happens. If Nanase's mom is there, it's possible that the kids will finally find out that she knows about magic. And, more importantly, her sister is Noriko, possibly giving a vector for Noriko and Van to enter the story and cause some pre-wedding drama while giving Tedd the opportunity to deal with some of their trauma.

Finally, since Lavender is an Uryuom, it's possible that, on accident or through the machinations of the recent trouble-making trio of "First-Half" Uryuoms, the existence of Uryuoms may be revealed to the public to some degree around the time of the wedding. If it involves the trio, this may further the plot with Lord Tyrant Slayer and the First Half of our universe. Also, that one unicorn from Parable.

GOING TO COLLEGE (JULY to SEPTEMBER)

At some point during the summer, likely around August or September, Tedd will see their new lab for the first time, which is at Moperville University, the same place where the flow of magic's center will come to rest around that same period of time. Prior to attending college, Tedd needs to confront their father about their genderfluidity.

With everyone going to Moperville University, including some of the side characters like Adrian and Tensaided, some characters may become more relevant, such as Jay, Luke, Camdin, and Camdin's crew of Marked individuals. Since Camdin's group had a run-in with Catalina and Rhoda’s powers, it's possible they may have a hand in revealing that the two have magic to the main crew.

THE END-GAME (END OF COMIC?)

There may be a potential arc about the Dunkel parents and their strange level of chillness and competence. However, we know that the final arc will deal with the Master of Fire and Lord Tedd. Parable implied that an Evil Seer (Lord Tedd, or maybe Arthur) would want to sacrifice Grace (the Master of Fire), Rhoda, and Jay in some sort of power ritual. The exact details of Parable may differ greatly from the final arc.

Finished my re-read of @egscomics! Also the canon bits of EGS:NP, for how much that might matter. I also made notes about plot hooks for potential storylines. I've tried to group thoughts I had by how related I think they are. In no particular order...

The final arc will likely deal with Lord Tedd and the Master of Fire prophecy. Dan mentions, possibly jokingly, in one of his commentaries that he would likely be considering doing the Lord Tedd storyline around the time EGS is 30 years old (around 2032).

In an arc that will likely be called "Sister 4: The Final Chapter" - Abraham, Vladia, Adrian, and Agent Wolf are tracking Magus. Ellen has a plan to help Magus get back to his universe as soon as Kaoli finally shows up. The significance of the Dragon Scale from the Dewitchery Diamond may be involved in the storyline somehow.

Uryuoms have access to magic now, and there is a trio of Uryuoms from the Other Half who snuck into Our Half. Lord Tyrant Slayer's schemes and whatever the deal is with those three needs to be dealt with. Also, Uryuoms existing has yet to be revealed to the public.

Van and Noriko are going to enter the story at some point, probably ending up in Moperville. Given the emphasis on Edward and Lavender's wedding guest list being "heavily lopsided" in favor of Lavender, it's possible that Lavender moving into the Verres Household (June) and marrying Edward (July) may coincide with Noriko and Van coming to Moperville, because of drama and irony.

Tedd will get to see his new lab at some point in Summer (June~August). Soon after (August~September), everyone will be going to Moperville University, where the center of the flow of Magic will have relocated by then. Tedd needs to come out as genderfluid to his dad before leaving for college. Also, Mrs. Kitsune knowing about magic may have to be revealed before college as well, possibly during the wedding mentioned in point #4. Related to the Lab is Tedd's goal of wanting to reveal Magic to the public once it's safe.

Pandora made a vow to Sarah before she did her refresh that she would help Sarah awaken, and would discuss the method of awakening with Sarah first to get her full consent. Her refreshed self has not yet reappeared in the narrative and may reappear before Edward and Lavender's wedding so she can help fill out Edward's less-than-full half of the guest list. Also, refreshed Pandora may have been the one to save Diane at the end of "Brother".

One of the commentaries mentioned a potential late-game arc about why the Dunkel parents are so chill and competent. It's possible Dan wasn't fully serious about it, but it's in the cards.

Catalina, Rhoda, Liz, and Diane have yet to go on their double date that was mentioned back in "The Legend of Diane." Catalina and Rhoda's powers may be revealed on accident, and Diane will possibly let slip stuff SHE'S aware of, leading to Catalina and Rhoda finally being let in on the bigger picture and no longer isolated.

Sam & Sarah's relationship needs to develop a little more, and Sam needs to be introduced to the rest of the group so he's not kept in the dark.

Jay, Luke, Camdin, et al are all going to be at Moperville University when the main group goes there in autumn. It's possible that they'll be relevant to the story then.

Hanma hasn't really appeared in any notable canon capacity aside from a single panel, for what that's worth.

...I think that's everything from my notes, organized as best as I can.

So, I'm aware that my last posts about patronuses caused... various amounts of emotional damage, HOWEVER this time I can promise you that is not what I intend to do. Here is a list of what I think the Slytherin Skittles' patronuses are:

Regulus: It's Padfoot, we all know it. (Sirius' is a cat, which is also 100% Regulus' animagus form)

Pandora: Moth. Big, pretty moth. Pandora has big moth vibes okay. Moths are gorgeous and fluttery just like butterflies but they have this added sense of mystery because they're nighttime creatures.

Barty: My heart says raccoon. I love raccoons sm, I wish we had them in England. I saw two at a lil zoo once and tbh I think that's when I peaked in life. Point is he has that chaotic but loveable personality, and what better to protect chaos than more chaos??

Dorcas: IT'S A RAVEN. She definitely has trinkets and lil collections of things, she's so so so loyal, to the point where sometimes it hurts her. She also never forgets a face - that bitch who tripped her in the halls in second year? She'll never forget what he did to her.

Evan: Snake. Not because he's Slytherin, but because I think he kind of has those vibes? Lot's of people finding him scary but a select few understanding and adoring him?? It's so Evan.

Ngl you could argue most of these to be their animagus forms as well sooooo take what you will. I am oversharing my ultimately pointless opinions with you all, once again.

I was really surprised to go on AO3 and see that there is not a single fanfic about Hope from El Goonish Shive. I know we're a small fandom, and we've only had her since November, but it's surprising because she is literally the reincarnation of arguably the single most important side character

[ghosttb0y]

How did they meet?

so basically! Lilith is a chaos witch (with a candy cane corn snake familiar named Pandora) who recently had her coven destroyed by another coven in the general area. Because of that, Lilith has been spending most of her time in hiding within the forest near Eden’s cottage.

So one day, while Lilith was wandering the forest she happened to catch Eden practicing magick in a small clearing. This peaked Liliths interests and so over the next few weeks, Lilith would spy on Eden and watch her practice her magick (even though she thought it was extremely boring but Eden intrigued her soooo)

Eden is a green witch! with a raven named Evergreen as her familiar. She lives in a small cottage in the forest and currently doesn’t live with a coven. So, with her free time, she often practices her magick in the woods! Hoping to better connect to the environment and strengthen her skills. (she’s not very good at spells and such then) This however, was interrupted one day when Eden catches Lilith spying on her. She confronts her and questions why a dangerous witch (chaos witches are seen as violent and unpredictable) such as herself has been lurking in her forest. They definitely don’t like each other when they meet…

goro akechi, crow

In the past several months I've read several books about crows and ravens and learned quite a bit about the mythology and symbolism of the crow in cultures around the world, as well as the behavior and understanding of crows in modern society, so I thought I'd share a few of the most notable parallels I found to Akechi's character.

This is a myth that I suspect a lot of people already know but was entirely new to me when I read about it. In short, there is a legend in England that when the ravens leave the Tower of London the British monarchy will fall. The British go so far as to clip the wings of the ravens that live in the Tower of London to keep this prophecy from coming true. I'm not sure if this parallel to Akechi was done purposefully, but nonetheless, it does call back to his story. Akechi is the Raven in Shido's Tower. When he left the tower by killing Shido's puppet and sacrificing himself for the Thieves, Shido's rule ended soon after as a direct consequence.

Crows are known in the modern day for representing death and destruction, but their portrayal in myth is far from so one-note. Crows are portrayed with reverence, and are just as often seen as positive figures as negative ones. They're often noble creatures that represent hope and rebellion just as much as they do death and chaos. They are very often tied to the sun, with the shine of their black feathers and rule during the day (often contrasted with owls of the night) used symbolically in myth to point out their dualistic nature. In Japanese mythology, the crow is a messenger of the goddess of the sun.

As an extension of the previous point, there are a lot of myths throughout the world that tell stories about how ravens were originally white, but were turned black for whatever reason--usually, as a curse or a punishment. There are so many variations of this myth, but one example is the tale of the raven and Apollo. Apollo, the Greek god associated with the sun, fell in love with the nymph Coronis, but Coronis was unfaithful to him. The white raven delivered this news to him, and in his anger, Apollo burned the raven's wings, turning it black.

Crows are often tricksters and rebels in myths. They're intelligent creatures that can fool even the gods.

Crows are often figures of fate, foretelling the deaths of others. Fate is a strong motif/theme of Persona 5, as Akira is running from his own fate of death throughout the story, and escapes it by opposing Yaldabaoth and rebelling against tyranny. Meanwhile, Akechi dies because he fails to escape his own fate set forth by Yaldabaoth. However, crows are often seen as above death, having near eternal lifespans or even being immortal altogether--perhaps a hint that Akechi may have survived after all.

Crows are the servants of Odin in Norse mythology, aiding him in the battlefield along with wolves. Odin is the ruler of the gods and eventually becomes the enemy of Loki when he brings Ragnarok, so in the context of Akechi's story, he may be seen as a parallel to Shido.

And, as additional reasons why Akechi should have been in Strikers, crows are known for working together with wolves, helping them find dead animals to eat and sharing in the spoils of their kills. (Zenkichi's code name is Wolf.) Also, Pandora is sometimes portrayed with a crow on her shoulder as a symbol of hope for the future. (Pandora is Sophia's true Persona.)

As for the science of crows, they are crafty and intelligent creatures, among the most intelligent of all animals other than humans, even surpassing apes in many areas. They're mischievous and known for being troublemakers. Crows mate for life and are known as being very sociable creatures. Even the lonesome raven will often have companions.

Who is stronger than hope? Death. Who is stronger than the will? Death. Stronger than love? Death. Stronger than life? Death.

But who is stronger than Death? Me, evidently. Pass, Crow.
