So malevolent starts in 1934 (its unclear when but its winter by s3). Arthur was born March 1900 so he is 34. He came to the US at 17, in 1917--likely to attend school (and probably get some distance from the great war lbr).

He met Bella in university and she was likely around the same age as Arthur says it was Daniel pushing her to go. And its implied that she dropped out and didnt graduate (idk if Arthur said he did or not).

So: likely Bella and Arthur were married between the ages of 17 and 22. Faroe would have been born around 6 months or less later, as the pregnancy was the catalyst for marriage. Faroe then died around 2-4. But had she not died she'd be between 11 and 16 i think. The way Arthur speaks of it seems clear its been a few years so it makes sense. I lean closer to her being 12-14 personally and her death being about 10-12 yrs prior with Arthur marrying pretty young.

Soooo what does the timeline look like for RoR? Like order of events, time scale, etc?

jesus fucking christ ok. I need it to be known this is running on the assumption the Golden Age lasted ~1200 years.

jesus christ ok. I'm skipping... a lot of dates. This is the broad strokes. and mostly focused on the rift cause this is Reign of Rift and not the greater Hinterlands AU. Also warning this is... long. As hell. And is SUCH an overview. I'm skipping a lot of the Rift War to just get the gist of the Hinterlands.

Also don't ask me when the City is established or when any of the major battles happen. I don't have an answer.

2014 - The Traveler is found on Mars 2014 - The Golden Age begins 2014-3220 GOLDEN AGE September 29th, 3200 - The Collapse begins October 1st, 3:29 AM, 3200 - The Traveler goes dormant, creates and releases Ghosts October 1st 3:41 AM, 3200 - The Ghost Pallas finds and rezzes the first Guardian October 3rd, 3200 - Anoris of the North is resurrected by his Ghost, Orion October 5th, 3200 - Jaybird-2 is resurrected by her Ghost, Wormeater June 3201 - The Rift is established by Jaybird-2 and Anoris of the North December 3201 - The Warlord Brutus claims land for the survivors under his protection October 10th, 3205 - The Dark Age Begins June 3025 - Lady Rowan gathers her survivors into New Eden mountains and creates the Wildlings of the Hinterlands January 29th, 3208 - The Warlord Brutus kills Ethan Ashford outside his survivor camp while his younger sister, Atticus Ashford watches.

The Rift War begins June 3209 - The Storm Council is created in the Rift October 20th, 3210 - Odysseus is revived November 31st - 3210 - Odysseus, Arthur, and Firefly enter the Rift >Somewhere in here the Fallen come to earth. Don't fucking ask me when and don't tell me that it's not accurate to the lore. I am play so fast and loose here. It's my goddamn au. I'll KILL YOU. 3214 - Atticus dies. The Frostguard is left without a General.

[fallenstar193]

ROR OC Morrigan

Name meaning: Fate

Height/Weight: 170cm, 56kg

Origin: Legend of King Arthur, English faerie lore

Region: Orkney at World's End

Alignment: Lawful-Evil

Gender: Female

Backstory: The queen who rules over the Faerie Britain. She has established an absolute monarchy in Faerie Britain, oppressing the fae for over 2,000 years.

The highest ranked faerie and a divinely brilliant mage, she bears Rhongomyniad, the Lance of the World's End, as a form of magecraft. Old English faerie lore tells of Morrigan as a "benevolent faerie of the lake," which was later adapted into Arthurian legends as a villainess opposing King Arthur.

On the other hand, she is conflated with the faerie Viviane who bestowed the sacred sword upon King Arthur and guarded him after this death.

In Proper Human History, Morrigan was the daughter of Tintagel, the fae child conceived by Igraine, the progeny of the British Isles...and later, Altria's stepsister, as Morrigan's mother Igraine wed King Uther.

Altria was designed as a human king as part of a human stratagem. Morrigan, after learning that she was the true ruler meant to inherit the Mystics of the British Isles, came to despise King Uther, her sister Altria, and all humans who refused to swear fealty to her. This hatred was a major source of destruction in Britain.

The Utopia No Longer Within Reach.

The white-walled castle Camelot, which Morrigan longed to triumphantly enter all her life but was never able to. Her unfulfilled wish gave way to sorrow, and eventually hatred.

Her twisted desire for control and privilege; her burning homesickness; her rage at humans; her loathing for Altria, an identical being who sat upon the throne in Camelot—

These all warped Morrigan into someone bent on destroying the Round Table.

Her Rhongomyniad is the very being, expressed as magecraft. It embodies Morrigan's love and resentment, momentarily traversing the path she can never walk, only to destroy it.

Morrigan's ultimate foe is not King Arthur. To defeat destiny—humanity—which once destroyed the fae of Britain for their own convenience, she returned from the World's End and became a witch to curse the entire world.

Personality: 

A cold, ruthless queen who trusts only in her own power. It isn't that she never trusts others, but they cannot be relied upon.

Morrigan's first priority is the orderly rule of the British Isles. She dislikes humans, faeries, weakness, ugliness, equality, and peace. From the perspective of her subjects, she is evil incarnate. Yet, she dislikes them not because she finds them needless, but because they are incompatible with her.

To Morrigan, control is just. Anything which threatens that control is evil. Therefore, Morrigan's personal preferences are unrelated to her standards of good and evil as a sovereign. Even if she personally finds something distasteful, she will openly acknowledge and tolerate it if it is necessary to her rule. Her absolute, extreme values make her seem like a heartless machine.

That said, Morrigan does have a heart. She is simply no longer capable of strongly feeling happiness and sadness, hatred and rage, or love and romance. After so many years of single-mindedly protecting Britain, her heart has gone cold. Except for one last flicker of passion in her chest—

a long-held yearning of her past self.

Her goal to control Britain is the sole wish that still drives her.

...It is not a human-like dream from her youth, but rather simply what she was born to do. This is a truth she learned during her long, long journey.

　　◆

Morrigan of Proper Human History is a storybook villain with an infamously amorous, brutal, and impulsive character, but this Morrigan had those aspects weathered away by the passage of time, leaving her a tranquil, intelligent woman—a frustrated, or perhaps reformed, nation-ruining beauty.

Everything, from sensual pleasures, to the thrill of hurting someone, to the exhilaration of self-fulfillment, is, in Morrigan's own words,

"Boring. I tire of such things."

However, her qualities are simply subdued, not gone. If she were to find herself in dire enough circumstances, her old wicked ways and preferences might reemerge.

Quotes: 

“This is an act of clemency. Bow your head. There is no fear, no hope—Only a sinner's death. None may pass!”

“Good... Very good. Beg for forgiveness at my feet. This is all holy swords are worth! Fall! Roadless Camelot!”

“Tis a ruinous dream I cannot bear to see. No recompense, no salvation to be had. At the world's end, a bird sings of tomorrow. Let this be a sign—Roadless Camelot.”

“So this is what I lacked. No, perhaps not. I could not have possessed it there. Once I gained something more previous than myself, my two thousand-year reign was over...How ironic. This time, I will not fail. I will craft laws that prevent the unexpected loss of both yourself and my ambitions.”

“What are you so happy for? I fought for you. Victory was all but guaranteed.”

“What I dislike...Nothing in particular. Caterpillars, though.”

hii everyone i wont be abl3 to. do stuff on here for reasons for some time. but. ive queqedup w bunch of kitty photos for u lads to look at. h3re iugo

[360degreesasthecrowflies]

I think the cloak was always intended to have some special prominence, and she only came up with the other two Hallows later, probably because some editor suggested Rule of Three to her.

As for Harry (and co) not being meant to be 17 at the end, I've convinced myself even more of that. Here's some reasons why:

Draco Malfoy is essentially a non-entity in DH. That makes a lot more sense narratively if he was only ever meant to be an important character of their schooldays, but ineffectual and passive in the adult world - which would fit (the young) JKR's view of the idle rich (probably less so now!). Likewise for him being given the quest to kill Dumbledore, randomly. That makes a lot more sense if it's given to him at 17, to prove himself as an adult out of his father's shadow, and that he's unable to do it and has to rely on his mother and aunt (to JKR, weakness) and Snape, his teacher, someone of lower social status. Even Ron and Hermione not believing that Draco might be a Death Eater is more believable if they're one year older than in canon because that's one more year of Draco not progressing as a challenge beyond childish pranks and taunts, while HRH are developing their magic and having adventures

Tonks and Lupin's romance isn't so breakneck and Tonks isn't quite so young when it first happens, given they are scheduled to die having just had a child at the Battle of Hogwarts which gives them a few years of peace to work on/through their relationship

Snape actually has time to 'become Dumbledore' and carry an increasingly darker and more knife edge part of his arc, while also gaining a greater appreciation for his former master, if he heads Hogwarts through multiple Voldemort era years instead of speedrunning that twist in essentially a 9 month three semesters

Harry, Ron and Neville get to have their Auror arc early and it doesn't necessarily happen off-page. Arthur Weasley is also definitely dead in this outline; which gives the Twins and the other Weasley kids an excuse to (be forced to) work to keep their house. Molly, naturally, now goes on missions, as a result it's not quite so surprising when she is able to defeat Bellatrix at the end of the Battle

Moody's death is more impactful as this is now Harry and Ron's direct boss and mentor rather than this guy they vaguely know

Peter Pettigrew likely dies in some other interaction with HRH rather than the out-of-nowhere compelled suicide in canon DH

Harry and Ginny's divide-and-reunite is stronger if they're an established couple who split for her own protection in wartime leaving her in safety to hide; also making it a twist on James & Lily's choice to BOTH hide; rather than them being a teen romance who were only together a few months before breaking up

Thematically, it's resonant if Harry returns to the castle to save it maybe 11 years again after he first joined it, aged 11, half his life ago. This - and retrieving the tiara from the ROR on that return - is also a neat dramatic parallel to Voldemort putting it there in the first place when he returned to the castle as an adult for the first time

But perhaps most importantly; making Voldemort's defeat later in the characters' arc means that JK gets to have her own 'Scouring of the Shire' with how Hogwarts has warped and changed under years of Voldemort's rule - which provides intense dramatic impetus to justify Harry & co's desire to 'put things back how they were' and lionize, no pun intended, the old status quo; instead of it coming off that Harry and his friends experience trauma through their first interactions with the Wizarding World in their first 5-6 years, then Voldemort takes that up to 11 in year 7, but their response in year 8 & beyond is that just bringing it back down to the initial years' baseline trauma would cover all bases as a satisfying solution.

(Perhaps controversial) theories on Harry Potter first drafts/story structure

I've been reading some more old Harry Potter meta (critique) (damn I miss those LiveJournal esque communities) and after some of the theories I've read I'm now 90% sure that Deathly Hallows was actually the third, or maybe even second book that Joanne started writing.

I love deconstruction and I am a writer, so this kind of thing interests me on a personal level as a high-profile reference that a lot of people might be familiar with, even as generally I have strong critiques for Joanne both as a person, and as what I consider to be something of an impostor in the fantasy genre, as a writer who both openly (at the start of her career) disavowed fantasy classics as beneath her, claimed not to be writing fantasy, and in my opinion, heavily plagiarised works of other authors within the genre and then played ignorant when called out on it by people who by that point had less power and industry clout than she did.

This is going to be critical of JKR, so for those not interested in that, maybe don't read on below the cut. It's not my intention to make anyone feel negative about something that's special or sacred to them.

Some members of the LJ community noted that Deathly Hallows (DH) has many, many recurring references and callbacks to the first book, Philosopher's Stone (PS), with certain characters even seeming to regress to those versions of them in terms of their behaviors, motivations, and what they centrally held as important.

After considering it again I've also come to the conclusion that that's one aspect that throws so many readers off DH as a conclusion to the series, a series that has 'grown up with' the reader and consciously shifted from children's lit to YA; and from a series of fantasy holiday movies helmed by Chris Columbus to a fantasy adventure series with gruesome monsters and wands becoming essentially the ranged weapon variant of lightsabers or the conduit for MCU-esque superhero abilities... that in terms of the writing, the morals, and the overarching themes, actually DH goes backward in that regard to the Roald Dahl-inspired simple morality of the first book where violence was cartoonish, monsters were existential rather than grounded, and Harry and friends were essentially young children trying their best to solve a mystery; rather than the adults the world has contextually by now established them to be.

Joanne has boasted that she had written the Epilogue very early on. What if she had in fact written out a lot of DH very early on?

She knew the books were going to cover (at least) seven school years. I think she decided after the first one, she would write (most of) the end of the series, and then if she needed to, she could write more than 5 other books in between.

DH takes place when Harry isn't in school. But nothing about the story means it has to take place when Harry should be in school.

Thematic and character-based parallels-wise, it might have actually made a lot of sense for Harry to be the same age that his parents were when they passed away, in Deathly Hallows, to make the walk through to the forest with his parents' ghosts, back the same age as they were when he first saw them in the Mirror of Erised more of an exact parallel tearjerker.

And a lot of the criticisms that DH faces - "why didn't we see inside Hogwarts during Snape's regime, and what happened to Neville, Luna and Ginny and the rest of the kids in Harry's year?" - would be nixed if this story was never meant to take place in Harry's final school year.

I suspect that what happened at some point during the height of her fame and blowup is that Joanne realised that a) she was so successful already she wouldn't have to write as many books as she had originally planned; especially because b) movies were now also in the works or being released, and the actors would only be believable as teenagers for a certain duration, but this led to c) now she had a smaller total possible number of books in which to fit all of her vague ideas of where the story would end up going and what the big setpieces were planned to be. (Hence the lengths started to balloon)

I might end up writing a part 2 to this because (ironically) I don't want to make this post so long, but as a starting point I would theorize her original outline may have gone something like the following:

Book 1, Harry Potter and the Philsopher's Stone. Establishes our characters and the main setpieces; Harry Potter, Ron-and-Hermione (who essentially function as a two-headed sidekick machine), Snape, Dumbledore, Voldemort, James-and-Lily-Potter

X number of books, as-yet undefined, at least one per school year, but potentially many more, like most contemporaries to her went in to their careers expecting to write, that expand on the young characters' relationships in small ways, with Draco Malfoy, his foil friends to HRH, and his family, as minor antagonists to drag out the series as long as possible - and never intended as more than that, while Dumbledore and Snape bubble away in the background

Harry's final year of school, in which Dumbledore is killed by Snape in front of Harry at the climax of the year, is buried in the school grounds, and Snape ascends to the Headmaster role

Only then at some point, Voldemort is resurrected and takes pride of place as the main villain, pushing Snape down into the secondary villain/antihero role

The final book in which Harry returns to Hogwarts a la Lord of the Rings/The Empire Strikes back, too late to have a confrontation with Snape (a classic tragic beat) and instead has his showdown with Voldemort, finishing his parents' legacy and completing what they themselves could not do.

I genuinely believe that all of the following were late additions to the story that ended up taking on a life of their own with the fandom, that Joanne never planned for, never really anticipated, and - because we know that she is both stubborn to change in general, and sees herself as a visionary above steer or critique - refused to meaningfully update or edit around in the final version of the last book:

Sirius Black existing at all

Remus Lupin existing at all

Peter Pettigrew existing at all

Fudge, Umbridge, and the Ministry-vs-Dumbledore/Harry sideplot - which, knowing that Joanne is a woman of faith, reeks of a 'skeptical nonbelievers vs true Christians of faith' plot

Luna

Everything about the Triwizard Tournament

Everything about the Yule Ball

Everything about the World Cup (I would go as far as proposing these were originally planned as three episodic books that she ended up blending together)

Spotlight Death Eaters like Barty Crouch and Bellatrix Lestrange

The Founders, the Basilisk, and the Sword of Gryffindor

The Horcruxes

Anything about magical creatures, aside from as episodic flavor to provide a one-off background character

International characters like Fleur, Krum and Madame Maxime

Most fight scenes, including everything with the Dept of Mysteries

Grimmauld Place and Kreacher

And perhaps controversially, most of the racist/blood war elements of the conflict in the books. Because, in DH, apart from flavor description of what the Death Eaters etc. are doing...

The conflict described seems, as it did in PS, to be primarily a personal one, with Voldemort's vendetta being against Harry specifically, and as a proxy, Dumbledore's followers, and people who believed in him and his ideals.

And maybe that's why Harry, the character, never seems to end up caring that much about the foundational principles of why they are fighting the war, and who it is actually there to protect, besides his personal connection with Voldemort as his personal nemesis...

Because Joanne never originally wrote it that way. Voldemort dies, and "all was well."

[katherynefromphilly]

A while ago some wonderful Merlin fans asked me for a pronunciation guide for the “Common Brittonic” words that Arthur and Merlin use in “And like the cycle of the year, we begin again”.

I put the name Common Brittonic in huge quotes there, because basically I translated English to Modern Welsh, then researched the Consonant and Vowel Shifts that occurred to the related Proto Indo European languages in the Proto Celtic family, and tried to reverse-engineer the spelling. After that, I threw in a bit of Cornish influence and Manx spellings, you know, as one does, just for fun.

If you’re interested in the actual state of Brythonic Linguistic Reconstruction, there are many scholarly articles about it. Take some headache pills before you read them though. The topic gets very deep, very fast, and that particular rabbit hole has no bottom.

Anyway, here’s what the words sound like in my head — more Cornish than Welsh, with a flowing Latin influence.

Chapter 5:
“Pwy ydysw swhi bobl?” - “Who are you people?” - “Pwee DIH-SIHW swih bow-bull?”

“Bedh syon diwydd yma?!” - “What is happening here?” - “BETH-see-on dih-WHEETH-ee-mah”

“Merlin, a ywn schi?” - “Merlin, is that you?” - “Merlin, a-EEWAN she?”

“Nizh zhwi yn breuzhwetio?” - “Is this a dream?” - “Nizz ZWEE-een brayz-WET-cho?”

“Na, nizh ythych yn breuzhwetio” - “No, this is not a dream” - “Nah, nizz-HEETH-itch ee-in brayz-WET-cho”

Chapter 13:
“H’ud oyr awyr ar daear?” - “What on earth is it now?” - “Huh-DOE-ee-arr aweer arr-DAY-arr?”

“Merlin! Ble edech c’hi!” Damniasech, ble wyt ti!” - “Merlin! Where are you? Damn it where are you!” - “Merlin! Bled-ECK chee? Dahm-nih-sech, bleh WIT-tee?”

“Rydw i yma! Fod yn dawel!” - “I’m here! Be quiet!” / “Ree-DWEE-mah! Fow-DEEN dah-well!”

Chapter 14:
“Galwch barhau idal mi en avr, ni galweh shi?” - “Can you understand the words I’m saying” - “Galwich bar-how-ih-dall mee-in aver, nih gal-weh she?”


Chapter 18:
“Ror gora idos silus arnint!” - “Stop staring at them” - “Roar GORRIDOS sillus ar-nint.”

“Nid spi oed inos silus arnint!” - “I’m not staring at them” - “NID spy-oh-wed innohs sillus ar-nint!”

Chapter 29:

“Rhifegh ahn gifarweh.” - “Familiar yet strange. Known yet unknown.” - “RIFF-ehh gahnn gih-FAR-wehh”

Movie!Hinny Positivity Post

Scrolling through my posts, I realize I tend to shit on Movie Hinny, Ginny, and Harry a lot lmfaooo, so I thought I’d make a Movie!Hinny positivity post to prove to myself I really can be optimistic about a mostly pessimistic adaptation if I try. Feel free to reblog and add more to this list if I missed any!

1. The MOVIE SOUNDTRACKS HOT DAMN. The songs “Ginny” and “When Ginny Kissed Harry” has to be in my top 3 movie songs (right after “Snape to Malfoy Manor” aka the title theme song to DH1). They are just so angelic and beautiful that it makes their kissing scenes way more palatable to watch imho.

2. The intense, piercing, soul-searching way Harry looks at her in the last three movies (though mainly HBP). Even though they don’t really speak to each other much in HBP, their heated looks manage to tell a story of their own that I don’t even think Romione does until some parts of DH1. Seriously, Harry doesn’t look at anyone in the heated way he looks at Ginny, not even Cho, Romilda, Luna, or the waitress diner girl at the beginning of HBP, whom if they were given noncanon romantic looks were nowhere near as searing as the ones he gave to Ginny. (The only time he gets even close is to Hermione during the noncanon dancing tent scene but I’m trying to keep this post positive lmfao so let’s move on…). For instance, even if you don’t like these scenes there’s no denying the actors - especially Dan Rad - mastered the great art of eye-fucking. Think about it: the looks when Harry gazes up at her while she’s at the top of the Burrow all-Repunzel-Flynn-Ryder-style with the song “Ginny” playing in the background, when Harry finishes that tension-filled hug also at the Burrow, when he’s listening to her brothers tease Ginny about Dean in Fred and George’s shop, when Ginny walks in late during Slughorn’s dinner and he stands up and stares at her, when she walks in the RoR in DH2 and the hard set of Harry’s jawline and eyes go soft when they see her, when SHE ASKS TO ZIP UP HER DRESS AND THE UP-AND-DOWN LOOK HE GIVES LITERALLY RIGHT WHILE HES DOING IT OH MY FFFFING LORDDDDD 💦💦💦🌊🌊🌊. Anywho.

3. The hug Ginny gives Harry after Dumbledore dies. A beautiful addition to the books that actually contributes to the strength of their relationship. In the books, Ginny is the only one to pull Harry away from his beloved mentor and idol’s body, but in the movies, she stays with him and holds him through his pain, really emphasizing her role as his greatest source of comfort. Both versions of course were cute, but this was not bad either.

4. When Ron says “you know why I listen to the radio every day? So I don’t hear Ginny, or Fred, or Molly” and Harry goes “you think I’m not listening too? You think I don’t know how this feels?!” Okay, I know that the focus of this fight in the movie was not on Hinny but at least it shows that Harry was thinking about her even if not all of his actions in the tent scenes did.

5. Right before the Golden Trio Disapperates from Fleur and Bill’s wedding and Harry shouts “Ginny!” while running to protect her but Lupin holds him back and pushes him toward his friends. (Which btw is very much reminiscent of when Lupin holds him back from running to Sirius right after he dies AND as we see later in DH2, when Arthur holds Ginny back from running to “dead” Harry as she shouts “No. NO!”). An uncharacteristic thoughtful small scene written by the man himself, Steve Kloves, everyone, who would’ve thought.

6. When they kiss in DH2 spontaneously and Ginny goes “I know,” which many assume to mean that she knows that Harry was about to tell her he loves her. This was also their least cringey on-screen kiss, so extra points for that. ALSO FUN FACT which y’all might know already and I’m just slow but did you know that Daniel Radcliffe and Bonnie Wright actually improvised that kiss scene? There’s an interview online in which DR talks about it (he says something along the lines of “I could die any minute now, Ginny. We should probably kiss” in that very awkward, dry way that he’s known to talk in interviews lmfaoooo.)

7. when Hermione says “how does it feel like, when you see Dean with Ginny?” and after the whole Angry Bird™️ live action moment she performs, Harry goes “It feels like this.” I’m not a huge fan of this scene generally for other reasons but something about this dialogue was very poignant and was a good summary of his feelings even if the actual acting/scripts for other parts didn’t always match up.

8. The deleted scene of Harry desperately clutching Ginny’s hand while marching toward the Great Hall in DH2. Also plot-wise, it makes a lot more sense if they had not removed it because otherwise one is left questioning how Harry showed up in the following scene in which he accuses Snape.

9. In the Epilogue scene where Albus falls behind and Ginny and Harry look at each other with the same cadence as an old married couple who just internally know each other and their child and how to console him. It just screams long-term intimacy and maturity, I love it. The glance happens for a millisecond but it’s definitely, obviously there.

10. In COS where Ginny runs away from Harry when they first meet is honestly the cutest thing in the history of forever. Plus the way Harry runs and I mean runs to her cold almost dead body and grips her hand when he finds her on the Chamber floor.

11. This is less of a Movie Hinny thing but a Movie Ginny thing but you guys. The sheer COMMAND my girl has on the Quidditch field in the match against Slytherin. Even though the focus is on Ron’s victory (another soundtrack song that ranks prolly #5 for me), if you pay attention to Ginny’s plays, she’s absolutely fucking fierce and impressive as hell. To the point that the strength of her Quaffle throw knocked a few Slytherins against the hoops too. Again, it’s subtle but unmistakably, purposefully there.

12. Another Movie!Ginny appreciative moment is literally almost all of her dialogue in GoF. (“I think you’re in love, Ron.” “I’m not wearing that it’s ghastly.” “Don’t be so rude.”) She’s hilarious and where was that sass and spunk in the later movies where they actually mattered??

13. Again, again, again, the friendly but awe-encompassing looks he gives her in OoTP when she beats the shit out of that dummy with her Reducto spell and when he compliments her Patronus (“Excellent, Ginny!”). You can definitely see that the movie producers, director, and whatnot are trying to get viewers to see her at least as powerful and contributive, if nothing else.

What Movie!Hinny positive moments did I miss that you appreciated?

hii how are you?

So i've seen thar you like heracle a lot and i have a question,

wich between jack the ripper and heracle gas the worst past?

do you think zeus bad been a loveing father to heracle, Hermes and Ares?

Is It me or Anne kinda shows that She cares about jack,maybe like a step-son to her.?

I Hope we can see more about his padt in the spin off,

I don’t think Heracles had sad past especially like that of Jack the Ripper.

I, personally, I seperate almost all characters of RoR from mythology counterparts, and I don’t believe Zeus (until proven wrong) that he’s a bad father.

As a matter of fact in round 4 when Ares was losing his mind that Hercules would lose it was Zeus who told him (gave him a love punch) to get it together (as a father should) and believe in Hercules ♥️

And the way he greets his sons Hermes and Ares you can tell he’s your typical father. (As a matter of fact you really don’t hear Zeus complain about Ares while his mythological self HATED Ares. Huh.)

Anyway!

Anne is definitely Jack’s mother ♥️ you can tell that from get go but mainly when she was willing to fight the MEN in the stadiums that were talking shit about Jack.

That’s definitely “Talk shit about my son, catch these hands!”

I’m excited to see Jack’s spin off I hope to see Arthur Doyle (he was a snack too ♥️) Jack was top 5 in the popularity poll so I know sales will do well. ♥️

Ok ok FIRST IM GONNA TAG THIS REBLOG AS A PIMON THEORY EPISODE CUZ IM TOO LAZY TO MAKE A POST ON ITS OWN AND I ALREADY HAVE ANOTHER THEORY POST FOR ANOTHER FANDOM IN THE WORKS

Ok so first, Pimon finds the corpses of 2 of his employees and grieves a lil bit. I. 😭 I feel bad for him

Then he calls Gina a ‘terrifying woman’. I do not know if this means Pimon hates Gina or if he drinks respect women juice.

And in these other panels he says Arthur is the only one worthy to hold the chalice of power (I’m calling it that cuz idk what Graal means) and bows down to Arthur when he comes in to fight the rest of the mother goose. Do we have an Inferiority complex buzzer in the house??

And to top things off his special move is called ‘funeral crying’, and knowing ROR… oh god backstory hints

So yea Pimon actually cares about his employees (I myself am absolutely shocked given previous theories), has an inferiority complex regarding Arthur and funerals are somehow involved in his backstory

Ok so chapter 23 and 24 got translated in French and as someone who SOMEWHAT understands French… the Pimon lore oh my fukcing god 😭

Spill the tea! I wanna know what happened-
