#ressurection stone

[llau-ren-ti-a]

Replaying Hogwarts Legacy I thought so much about the characters and their relationship to MC - whether they are actually good friends or rather use 'us' as means to an end to achieve their goals and solve their problems.

I complained to a friend about it after playing Niamph's trial and realised:

To Natsai, we are like a cloak. Someone to shield her from her mother's keen eyes, to protect her from Harlowe and his associates while she uncovers their criminal network, keping her identity hidden as well as we can.

To Poppy, we are like a wand. Someone who speaks up when she wouldn't, who takes action when she's can't, to attack when she doesn't want to. She has strong morals and values, which she is able to enforce through us and our power.

To Sebastian, we are like a wishing stone. We are what he wants us to be - a trusted person, a partner in crime, a supporter, an enabler, an enforcer. We are by his side through everything, even when all had turned against him. To him, we are the catalyst to help him raise the dead.

Rmbr that old headcanon that Kilgarrah was transfigured into a bitch ass cat and Merlin decided to put up with his annoying ass for centuries so that he wouldn't go mad? Yeah me too

.... I realized the horrible implications that come from Merlin existing in the same universe as Hogwarts so I googled it and it says he was a slytherin student who "went on to do great things" guys that means that Hogwarts was founded BEFORE the prophecy came to fruition which doesn't work with BBC Merlin's plot/timeliness at alllll

In order to fit my hc's I'm gonna say he made himself look young with potions in order to study after Arthur died or maybe he just started doing magic w/o speaking and people were so impressed that they gave him a job!

My personal fav take is that he is a gay uncle but in a depressed hippie kinda way

i swear on my life this last valkyrie in niflheim is making me want to snap my controller

[faithbetryin]

Thinking about the fact that Matt survived a building falling on him, and while he survived, the love of his life- that he just got back from being resurrected into a soulless weapon, died. They wanted to die together, yet Matt survived. Then he found refuge in the place he felt the most alone in his life: the orphanage where his mother cared for him without his knowledge. The basement of a church where he's surrounded by angel statues whilst rejecting religion, forced to be watched under their stone faces. And after a suicide attempt, he has to hear the choir singing above him, surrounded in a tomb of graves in the walls. He is surrounded by death, failure, by religious symbols and sounds. Yet he's supposed to find meaning, challenged by the comments of his mother who tells him not to dwell in selfish "self pity."

can you recommend some book jonsa fanfics? Not really that many on going in ao3

Hey anon!!!

Here are some more recs for you!!

the first are from nepobabyeurydice:

if you try to break me you will bleed by @dialux

time travel fic with Sansa, but it’s always the first fic I recommend to friends because the development of Jon and Sansa’s relationship from her holding all the cards, to him swearing herself to her, and then Sansa letting him see the whole deck is genuinely beautiful to read!

love exists in many forms by @dialux

In which Alayne Arryn, only daughter of Jon Arryn, commits suicide after her father dies in a failed attempt at rebellion, and her handmaiden, Sansa Stone, pretends to be her when faced with death. Sansa arrives at King’s Landing and finds herself betrothed to Prince Jon Targaryen; but their relationship is complicated by old secrets, new loves, and treason.

my head is bloody and unbowed by sadhippe

In which Robb’s baby survives, Sansa never marries Ramsay, and Jon is held captive at Dragonstone. Also more Tully’s and other Northern Conspiracy Faves!

and recs from visenyashill, who is going to do one of longer fic when they have the time and energy to actually read fic in a little bit, so these are mostly one shots-

in the midst of the ruins by iday

jonsa fic, post war for the dawn. while living out his days out of sight and out of mind, jon gets a raven from winterfell with only two words: "come home." so he does. brienne and podrick are also there. very cute, contained little story, and an older jonsa fic.

varg-hamr/wolfskin by undercovercaptain

this one gets rec-ed a lot but for good reason! a take on jon's ressurection and sansa as the girl in gray that i think is well done and also roughly what i predict will happen (leaving room for some crazy grrm-ness tho, obviously)

saw you in the snow by sleepingwithwolves

another girl in gray esque take but with bran coming to sansa in a weirwood dream as well as jon. i love this one a lot, i you will see i have a weakness for jonsa fic that features another starkling.

no smooth road by maybethrice

rickon pov where jon and sansa recall him from hiding on skagos when he’s twelve, to be the new lord of winterfell. it’s a “dany stops the long night” canon and i like it for delving into the difficult tie of the political situation.

ghosts by sansawolfbits

jon travels to the vale to meet with the lord protector and finds someone he didn't expect. very short but cute also myranda cameo.

i lost all signs so i got lost by tempisfugit

The five people who wanted Sansa for who she reminded them of and the one who just wanted her.

stealing by just_a_dram

jon steals sansa. this is the first jonsa fic i ever read and this author was super prolific with book canon jonsa in like....2016? ish? so if you're looking for book canon stuff, I would definitely start here!

a boy in his cups by greenhikingboots

a re-imagining of jon's first chapter in agot where he knows the truth of who he is and drunkenly proposes to sansa.

a stark in winterfell

it's not super romantic, more tortured than anything, about sansa needing an heir and seducing jon snow - and neither of them know about his true parentage.

I love how Harry's first thought about Sirius when he looked at his parents' wedding photo with Sirius in it was "he looked so goddamn handsome, i like his smile", then when he met Sirius he was like "not as handsome as before but maybe bc he's a convict, if he gets free and I can go and live with him, maybe MAYBE he will become charming again and HOLY SHIT I HAVE A HOT GODFATHER????" Harry is such a raging bisexual.

And when he entered snape's memory, he just passed on james like "oh there's my dad, looking like me", "there's lupin, he's uhmmm... presentable?" "Oh that's petigrew yuck". BUT WHEN HIS EYES LANDED ON SIRIUS "OH MY GAWD GODFATHER YOU HAVE NO REASON TO BE THAT HOT, also his hair falls elegantly over his eyes sent me, woah so many girls looking at him IM LOOKING AT HIM TOO"

Harry saw Regulus' photo and immediately "meh he's okay, maybe it's the black gene thing but still, not as hot as my godfather"

Harry met Sirius when he used the ressurection stone is still one of my favorite. He looked at james and still "there's my dad, looking like me", "mom and her red hair is chef kiss", "lupin looks younger tho congrats", "OH MY GAWD GODFATHER YOU STILL LOOK HOT- I MEAN TOO HOT FOR A MAN IN 22s BUT GODDAMN YOU'RE LIKE A MICHELIN MEAL, ALSO THE WAY YOU WALK? PERIOD."

Yeah just Harry's raging bisexual thoughts and his Sirius-beauty-standard bar he uses to describe everyone. It's like- man looked at Sirius once and his mind kept thinking about how could a man be that gorgeous.

[wc-confessions]

Atheist cats are sooooo funny to me... Here's our leader getting granted nine lives and ressurecting multiple times. Here's the stone and pool where you can literally talk to your ancestors... You can go to cat hell in your dreams... Cats dying in the afterlife deadass disappear from the Earth... And then those cats watch All That like 😑 I do not see it

My "Lord garmadon is a part of the Crystal Council au" just got an angsty update.

Mentioned auto-cannibalism BTW (only breif buuut)

Garmadon starts to hear the overlords voice talking and taunting and tempting him through ghostly whispers, soething of which makes him think he hears the Overlord from his hand. His biten hand.

Delusional, hungry, tired, and anxious from the overwhelming build-up of evil he can feel, he cuts his forearm off in what remained of the temple of ressurection (upon listening to Butchers Vanity, it turns out I decided he would eat his own arm upin it's removal..)

The pain leaves him vulnerable, and the overlord takes him as his fith and final servant. Garmadon is beyond devoid of life and is basically stone amongst the rest of them, acting more like a silent backup to garumis second in command. (This leads up to an interesting arc for harumi to see her "god" nothing but a dead puppet with blood dripping down his face almost constantly.)

Anyway, when Garmadon is taken by the overlord Wu starts having horrible hallucinations and nightmare if his brother standing right infornt of him in the shadows, his glowing eyes dark, tired, and blank but his glare is pain ridden. Within these terrors, Wu watches as the hand Garmadon cut off pushes itself out of his brother mouth, reaching for Wu with a desperate tremble...

He always wakes up and immediately starts to search for his brother upon last sightings, but it only leads him to the former temple of ressurection- the temple now being wrecked as if it had been attacked.. maybe a certain oni wasn't very happy with the voices in his head?

With Garmadon bow pretty much back at square 1 of his revival (Quiet, complacent..) Lloyd has to struggle with his reawaken trauma, Harumi has to reconsider her decisions, and Wu has to fight against his loss of his brother..

In the final fight of crystallised, Garmadon finds his will to serve the side of good upon having the weight of his existence thrown down on him like a sledge hammer upon a glass table.

Garmadon's attack to retaliate for the multitudes of soul wrecking trauma he had faced in the recent months from the overlord alone, only to find the overlord alone was the reason for his whole life of suffering, did not end well for the oni and left him beaten and weak to where he was dying in Lloyd’s arms.

Lloyd, overwhelmed, terrified, and now heartbroken, he can't avoid an oni form moment of which ends with him spying the body of his father now being held by harumi as he splutters for breath. The sight of this in the crystals' reflection causes Lloyd to look hopelessly at his father before being beaten back and knocked from his oni form..

In the end, Lloyd finds peace with his oni form in the way that the Ninja made peace with their lost powers in that final scene and they rebuild their life with Wu and Garmadon being seen eith each other with Garmadon using his brother as a support for walking..

Are we dealing with alchemists looking for The Philosopher's Stone?

(I will be referencing partially to the ARG, most importantly to the so called Klaus sheet that has german version on categories the OIAR team is using, and some light spoiler to The Magnus Archives, so beware).

We're four episodes in and cross-referencing each episode so far, there seems to be few things that connect most of them:

an orchestrator

a medium

an obsession

a transformation

Each episode so far mentions some type of third party being involved in the incident: Harriet Winstead mentions a "consultant" that was supposed to help her see Arthur, RedCanary mentions getting harrased by an anonymous stalker, Daria commissions Ink5oul for a tattoo, Dr Samuel Webber mentions seeing his dead wife "Maddie" who stops him from tampering with the transformation (could be a hallucination, but could also be somebody using his delirioum to impersonate her) and today we've got a mention of a "giftgiver" who gave The Violinist the Violin.

Additionally each incident mentions some type of specific medium the characters came into contact with: The Box, The Violin, The Ink (cross referenced in Klaus sheet from the ARG), The Garden (as in plants in the garden). The exception being the Harriet, but we don't know yet what "caused" ressurection of Arthur. This is important, because in TMA items and "mediums" weren't actually all that common, it was very often stressed that relics were medium for the fears to use directly (with people only doing their bidding), not to be handled by others as a medium.

Lastly each episode talks obsession and/or transformation and oh boy, let me tell you about bunch of guys historically obsessed with tranforming stuff through different mediums:

"It's not very suprising, alchemical symbols are everywhere throughout the podcast!" you might say. True, but let's take into consideration, what excactly is a goal of an alchemist? Well the answer is quite simple and there is actually three of them. The Three Goals of Alchemy are:

To turn base metals into noble ones

To discover the recipe for a Philosopher's Stone

To find the Elixir of Life that gives eternal youth and defies death

All of them refer to some type of recipie of method, so where are the recipies? Under our own noses. The recipies are the DPHW catalogue and the database Freddie is sending the incident reports to is an alchemical cookbook! Each entry is categorized something like that:

CAT$$$R&&#### - theme (specification) -/- subtheme [medium]

Some specifications:

$ - are a conbination of numbers 1, 2 and 3. They do not always appear in threes, sometimes it's just 3, sometimes 12 (as in 1 and 2) so forth. These has been widely theorized to be related to the The Tria Prima, a group of three materials which occupy a position of prominence in alchemy: Sulphur(🜍), Mercury(☿) and Salt(🜔) or as they are also characterized Soul, Mind and Body. If we assign each of them a number with 1 being Soul, 2 being Mind and 3 being body, they so far align with the main "components" of each incident or realms they deal in.

R - either appears or not, it was theorized this is a RANK and that previous files were simply misfiled by Sam, but to me it also could be REGIA as in Aqua Regia (🜆) where we are to assume the R was added to the previous element (Aqua (🜄) + Regia (R)). The meaning behind assigning some some incidents the rank of regia has yet to be explained though.

& - these are letters C, BC, B, AB, A and S signifying a rank (or rang in the Klaus sheet) . Lets ignore that S for a second, but they seem to be stages and half stages, well there can't possibly a concept of four stages in alchemy? Let me introduce you to the Magnum Opus (Great Work). Basically each alchemical project went through four stages: nigredo (black), albedo (white), citrinitas (yellow) and rubedo (red) with rubedo specifically signifying a great discovery was made and Magnum Opus was a success, but it does not necessairly mean an alchemical goal was reached.

To summarize, numbers one C-A signify stage of the project, with S, that appears once on mostly redacted cell in the Klaus sheet, signifying that not only the final stage was reached, but the project has been a success.

This could mean a finished Magnum Opus is out there, developed in the field of the Soul and related to the mysterous Mr. B.

# - these numbers are still a mystery, I do have some theories myself, but to summaries I think they are grades and some type of combination (I think it's either 9999, 0000 (as in all 10s) or perhaps 7777 (7 being the most important alchemical number)). Basically a specific combination could imply the specific discovery could be categorized as a Philosopher's Stone. What that could mean for the narrative? We will see, but I suspect it's an alchemical equivalent to an eldritch nuke in this universe.

Last thing to support my theory, the OIAR logo. The lion and the unicorn are obviously symbols for the United Kingdom, as this is a government office, and the words undearneath are "we will not falter" (probably reference to the paranormal incidents they deal with) the rest though?

Alchemical symbols for Salt, Mercucry and Sulphur are right there, all encompassed by an upside-down version of The Philosopher's Stone symbol; The Greatest Magnum Opus:

As to what the Magnum Opus are in TMAGP, each incident has an item associated with it, I noticed that the characters do not get corrupted by people directly this season, but through the use of items like ink, instruments, plants.
