The winner of this poll will go on to face Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss (Smajor1995, Pearlescentmoon, ZombieCleo)

PROPAGANDA:

Prince Trio:

Me when they're princes and children of gods (said gods all being siblings. Making them all cousins) They all need very big hugs. Sherbert's dad (God of Creation) is trapped in Purgatory, and they tried to get them out at the end of season 2 and it failed (because Sherbert got. A possible god following them around (metaphorically) and changing things they touch sometimes-) because instead of it bring back their dad it brought back a person they killed. (Also happens to share their mortal mother with Rae) Rae's godly mother (Goddess of the Mind) sucks and corrupted multiple of their friends. (One of which was Sherbert.) and he's also the vessel for said mother, and got some silly mind powers because of it. Athena is literally a child created for being the vessel of one of their parents, who is also the God of destruction, which by proxy makes him the vessel of destruction and that is an awesome title-

Foolsamponk:

These 3 are SO underrated especially Ponk and Foolish. I don't see many people talk about them but they're hands down some of my favourite characters and their dynamics together is something I really enjoyed. They were so fun during the egg arc it wouldn't be the same without them. Anyone who doesn't know about the little plot these 3 had going on are missing out. IDK I feel like these guys were just really underrated when DSMP was in its prime, especially Ponk's character in general BUT thats a whole nother thing. They're my underrated favs

- Homophobic and homosexual - They're literally all exes somehow - Divorce trio omgggg

I saw your Errorink headcanons

How do you think they would get along? (Because y'know, he destroys, he protects)

tbh aside from input from the creators that they would be canon friends (IN MY DREAMS) i have a lot of thoughts on why they would make great friends actually:

First of all, there is the idea that they have to make peace with the innevitability that regardless of what they do or how they feel about creation or destruction respectively, the balance will keep itself going purely because thats how creation and destruction of fanprojects irl work!! no amount of encouragemnt from ink or pestering from error are ever going to truly eradicate/permanently keep the growth of creations and aus in the multiverse!! I like to imagine its the same kind of silliness that good omens has (ie angel/demon being friends and maybe lovers just having the oppositr kinda jobs) except they both actually enjoy their jobs lol

I also like to think that the way they view the multiverse is not so black and white as they first may appear!! We already know that error DOES have aus that hes fond of and will not destroy bc he has a certain attachment to it, making us see that he isnt just some mindless killer who destroys for the sake of destroying (i forgot what his actual reason was aside from the anomaly stuff so in my head its bc all the multiverses mess with his code and overload his system which is why he hates anomalies sm ((including original ut funnily enough? Bc ig thats why his suffering happened in the first place (to me at least))) he is just selfish and wants everyone else to adjust to his comfort

For ink, he also views pretty much everything else aside from him as characters, and is thus not as connected to them as you may think. The reasons on why he protects these aus is kind of selfish (to refill his vials + the satisfaction of feeling like a real living being But More compared to other characters within their own universes) despite the good guy facade he tries to make himself have hes also inherrently selfish with his reasonings on why he wants to protect the aus in the first place

(i also wanna say that alongside all of what im saying ink genuinely does hold a lot of love for the aus and has a lot of fondness for certain characters aus etc, but it is very much in a fiction vs reality sorta way, bc thats how he views himself vs every one else)

except error. (well. sort of. but it kinda goes both ways. hes close enough)

tldr despite feeling that they are above it all and seperate from the aus and characters that they create (canon info for both i think) i think they can (and do) acknowlege that the world is bigger than them both despite those feelings and find themselves kindred spirits in the sense that their views and pov of the world is very similar on a base level and see eachother as equals because of it (something i dont really see personally with p much every other sans)

like yes other sanses and characters can be aware of and have beef with the multiverse in whatever way they can but none will ever be as innherently connected to the multiverse and what created them as much as error and ink do,,,bc to most everyone else, it is simply a part of their lives to move through aus with, comapred to errorink having the aus be their reason for existing and acting (the other guys drama being centered around different things much smaller in scale compared to error and inks whole deal being with the entire multiverse as it exists if im making sense)

also also theyre both described as immature and insecure so. i think they can have a lot of fun having childish banter thats cute and for the funsies (both dramatic jokey guys please hear me out)

thoughts on supreme kai (shin or any tbh)

i'll answer this in two parts!

THOUGHTS ON SHIN SPECIFICALLY:

i think shin is great. i love shin, ive always loved shin, and i hate how much shit he gets from fans :( he's trying his absolute best and he has to deal with UNIVERSE 7's bullshit all the goddamn time. he has to deal with beerus being his lifelink. he has to deal with GOKU. he has trauma from his fellow supreme kais being slaughtered and absorbed by majin buu. he got beat the fuck up by majin buu as well, and in future trunks' timeline he was killed himself!!! GIVE HIM A BREAK CMON

his design is so nice as well, i love his colors and his hair and man his introduction was great. it always tickles my fancy. introducing him as this mysterious tournament contestant that intimidated PICCOLO into forfeiting b/c he knew he was some kind of god, and not just any god but the fucking SUPREME KAI, which after being introduced to the four cardinal kais and the grand kai was a major "holy shit" moment, at least for me!

idk i just think he's neat :)

THOUGHTS ON SUPREME KAIS IN GENERAL:

supreme kais are really cool as a concept tbh, i love the idea of god hierarchies and having them being born from fucking fruit is adorable and neat. and i love the connection between them and the destroyers--creation vs destruction, one unable to exist without the other, their lives forever connected.. its so neat

also i wish they didnt (supposedly) do away with there being a grand supreme kai and then four lower supreme kais. i use that idea for my own oc universes still bc i thought it was neat and made sense--one supreme kai for each quadrant of the universe and then a grand supreme kai to watch over the lower ones and keep things organized. i like it! its like how the grand kai watches over the four cardinal kais but on a grander scale. having said that i think the supreme kais existing, while cool, kind of defeats the purpose of the lower cardinal kais and the grand kai? not that i want them gone or changed! i just think theyre a little redundant as a concept actually..like take out the cardinal kais and just keep the supreme kais yknow? they both do the same damn thing apparently except one is connected to the destroyer. OR ACTUALLY maybe the cardinal kais are just there to watch and then report to the supreme kai who actually does the work of creation? so the cardinal kais are just there to make sure what the supreme kais have created all goes smoothly??? thats just a theory though. a game theory

anyway sort of going off this i really enjoy the idea of an evil kai. im looking at zamasu directly. not to make this about him suddenly but i ADORE "break in the chain" type characters, so zamasu really hit me. supreme kais are supposed to be good! theyre gods! theyre supposed to be benevolent beings that watch over and nurture the universe. but zamasu wasnt like that. he wanted to destroy all mortal life AND the gods he deemed unworthy of their power. he was so fucked up i love him so much

thank u for allowing me to ramble <3

tyrian will kill qrow branwen or  he will kill   weiss schnee

(in my opinion  him killing weiss is  much less likely but when  I made the post  I imagined it and thought I should throw it in it) 

hawkeyedflame . tumblr . com/post/152581160728/on-rubys-elusive-character-development-or-why

“ jaune is a foil To Ruby. She’s a prodigy who quickly became a deadly warrior at a young age and is welcomed into Beacon two years early as a result while Jaune is a hard worker who progresses slowly and had to lie his way into Beacon because of his nonexistent combat background. Ruby is a strategist specialized on pre-defined team attacks and wields a self-made weapon capable of long range combat. Jaune is a tactician specialized in creating new team attacks according to his analysis on the battlefield and wields a family heirloom only capable of close range combat. Ruby has a rather broken family but they fully support her decision to become a huntress while Jaune’s family is large and united but they don’t support his choices nor have any faith on him. Ruby is a tomboy who dominates the battlefield but doesn’t enjoy dancing whereas Jaune tends to act girly and is initially terrible at fighting but also a great dancer. The more you look into them as a pair, the more contrasts that can be spotted in the details.”

jaune has a more “feminine way of dealing with emotions” while ruby has the more masculine way of dealing with emotions

aminoapps . com/c/rwby/page/blog/why-its-good-for-jaunes-semblance-to-be-a-support-type/xpp7_XQ4s2u6RGX2zboa6JwM2XMekWGZd68

“Joan of Arc is known for breaking gender stereotypes about what it meant to be a woman. And if you think about it in a lot of ways Jaune doesn’t fit into the stereotypical “man box.” We are don’t “men don’t cry.” He wears his emotions on his sleeve. While in the real world men (and in the world of RWBY BOTH men and women ARGUABLY) are told to be strong. And that many people superficially equate physical strength with heroism (Raven?) it is fitting that Jaune’s semblance doesn’t so much doesn’t so much empower himself, as it empowers others. (as well as himself but its more effective on others in the team since they are more skilled than him) The so called “Feminine” strength.” P.S. Hmm as a follow-up to my The Importance Of Foils Part 2 post. I think that Ruby, despite being a girl, fits into the “man box” better than anyone else including it’s UNHEALTHY WAYS OF DEALING WITH EMOTIONS. The only difference is on remnant, it’s not because a man doesn’t cry. But because “a hero doesn’t cry.”

ruby first activated her silver eyes leading to her to learn about them when she saw pyrrha jaunes partner impaled by cinder and burnt to ash failing to save pyrrha  her awakening being in reaction to her death while jaune activated his semblance and realized what it was when he saw rubys partner weiss  impaled by cinder and  was able to save her  life awakening his semblance to do so allowing him to learn what his semblance was ( which is a good example this is an example of them being foils  and how its been shown and effected their storys )

pyrrha wasnt just jaunes partner she was his mentor 

and cinder the woman who killed pyrrha  is rubys foil and evil counterpart 

while there are alot of parallels between jaune and tyrian with tyrians semblance being the opposite of jaunes

 making it likely that tyrian is jaunes enemy and that tyrian vs jaune will eventually happen

xiaobelle . tumblr . com/post/189538869176/holy-fuck-jaunes-gonna-kill-him-isnt-he

saturnswrath . tumblr . com/post/189539567978/tyrians-semblance-is-an-exact-opposite-to-that-of/embed

jaune and tyrians  auras when they activate their semblances have the same   color as the god of light  who had powers over creation/life ) and dark ( who had powers over destruction/death)  respectively and this is fitting given their semblances jaunes is protective and helps heal and protect someones life by imparting his own aura on to someone  while tyrians semblance is meant to help him tear through someones  aura through aura weakening drastically weakening the aura in the places he strikes  make the person easier to kill  that’s crazy

Tyrians semblance is perfectly fitting for a assassin while jaunes semblance is fitting for a tactician /leader for a tacticians job is to get others to be more effective, just as his semblance is revealed to make others more powerful. And his inspiration was a military leader and leaders would be targets for assassinations

so given that cinder rubys foil ( who wants to kill her )  killed pyrrha jaunes mentor tyrian  ( who will end up fighting jaune  ) will  kill qrow rubys mentor

or 

( less likely option )  tyrian will kill weiss given that pyrrha was jaunes partner and weiss is rubys  partner and weiss is based off snow white who ended up being poisoned to a  death like state. maybe in rwby she actually dies (  and on the tyrian killing weiss part   cinder killed pyrrha (jaunes mentor)  but nearly killed weiss  tyrian already put qrow on deaths door so it would be fitting if thats followed up with him causing weiss’s death) 

plus there are alot of parallels between volume 7 and volume 3

Long Lore Rant

... Needs to be reformatted into something pretty rip

Background:

Aight so as per the great and infallible wikipedia, Taoist cosmology states that everything started with wújí and then created yǒu jí. The former means limitless and comes from the words "nothingness" and "reaching the end" ... so nothingness at the end aka no boundaries

the latter was the limited. it's only briefly mentioned as its conception brought on a polarity to the universe - yin and yang

taiji itself is the boundary embodied by you-ji with respect to the infinite wuji and represents the Absolute

The split into yin and yang has a the connotations listed above in the pic ((except... for tikki and plagg the feminine vs masculine seem to be switched cuz from the description, tikki is more closely associated with yang)). Yang is represented by one long dash –– while yin is two small broken ones - - . Now, in the middle column where there are category names for what yin and yang represent the wu xing category (elements, second from the bottom) has earth listed as neither. It also doesn't include air, which the wu xing doesnt include in general but is included by almost every other major culture when classifying the elements.

Kwami Origins: Null

In the beginning there was a great big nothingness and then came a tiny blip of umm... everythingness? making the Absolute. This gave the nothingness and everythingness a consciousness. (wow lots of -ness words here). The nothingness part of the absolute became Null. The everythingness got no name cuz it quickly split off into the rest of creation.

Null's concept art is a three-eyed little creature with two kwami tendrils.  I propose Null as the glowing white kwami they originally made but with all black eyes and The Other One as the all black kwami but with glowing white eyes. The prior emptiness/nothingness was energy while the delineation/everythingnes was matter(?). when they created the Absolute, parts of themselves mixed i na typical yin-yang fashion, thus the eyes being like those of the others. This gave them power over the nature of the other sorta???? hard to explain

 For Null, he had power over mass, time, and space - matter is anything that has mass and takes up space at a given moment. The Other One (imma call them Higgs bc of the Higgs boson particle but it wouldnt be the real name) had power over tendencies of energy*. So. energy can be used up to build something (creative force - in human metabolism it's an anabolic reaction), released to tear something apart (destructive force - in human metabolism it's a catabolic reaction). bBt it can also be stored/dissipate with no specific purpose, instead being available for all sorts of possible things later (chaotic force?)

idea is that Higgs, upon consciousness, sacrificed themselves to give rise to existence. The Big Bang. they justs sorta fucked off to become a bunch of cool rocks/stardust floating in space and initiated the course of time (which could theoretically be split into different timelines? idk time travel is weird and this is superfluous to my current ramble)

the three aspects of Null that Higgs had gained powers from became concepts that would gain sentience of their own. The yin and yang markings are, technically, three lines. not two. cuz yin is split ( –– vs - - ).

* = this bit's a little less science-y except for keeping with the triad thing bc neutron, electron, and proton

Three, Not Two: Tikki, Plagg, & ...Hexx?

I imagine Null took up the developing concepts and nurtured them sorta. like they were incubating under Null's protection. Tikki emerged out of Null's sphere first; she had the most power from Higgs though all three were pretty closely matched. she was the creative force. 

Plagg came out of Null's sphere last. He was the destructive force. Sorta. It was actually coser to... decay?  Plagg is really more of a kwami of decay than destruction. He doesnt just obliterate things, he accelerates their decomposition. when his powers act on metal, for instance, it rusts. thats not destruction it's just the wear-and-tear expected to happen over time. Destruction as a concept opposite to that of Creation and Order involves more entropy and plagg really isnt as chaotic as would be expected. While he represents destruction in the sense that the thing is ceasing to function as a unit, the chaos would fall more under hexx.

The third force, the one that embodied possibility, was too erratic. they got out of Null's care first but remained in the sphere for a while longer. they didn't get out til after Tikki. I'm thinking maybe  emerged from Null's domain just a few seconds before Plagg (time is still wonky at this point). while Tikki is yang ( –– ), Plagg and #3, henceforth referred to as Hexx, are both yin ( - - ). Plagg is slightly weaker cuz he was "overcooked" and Hexx was "undercooked". Tikki came out just right like a yummy batch of cookies ;)

While Plagg is the biggest cuz he stayed with Null for so long, Hexx is the smallest. Even more so than Tikki but only by a little. I was thinking of him looking like a mix of Tikki and Plagg. More cat-like but with red accents and maybe blue eyes instead of green.

That’s the gist of it with a quick reminder note that time still affects kwamis differently like they mentioned in Sandboy or whatever. so they might be around ten billion years old be the time earth shows up but theyve been very immature. like little kids. and unlike kids that go to school to learn how things work, they were given immense amounts of power and 0 instruction so they have to figure out what they can do, what their identity is, and what purpose they want to have in existence

Tikki has a very do-good attitude and wants to help (even if shes proven sometimes she doesnt give the best advice) and be a Good Kwami. But Plagg isn't a bad kwami. The opposite of love isn't hate after all; it's apathy. Plagg just doesnt really care and will follow Tikki around bc he enjoys her company and his primary concern is himself. Oblivio was a good example of this cuz he's like "no fuck you whats in it for me" but still gets affected by tikki's words and comes back to do as she says eventually.

Hexx would be the "bad apple" though kwamis dont really have moralities cuz those were human constructs and are incredibly subjective. He wouldnt be hatred in the analogy with love, but rather fire-y emotions that are still more negative. quick anger and stuff. usually happy go-lucky. temperamental goes with the nature of being THE force of chaos. while he doesnt wanna help necessarily, he still wants to DO. he's the one that instigates mischief and wants to fuck around for the fun of it.

Making the Miraculous

So from the dinosaur ordeal we know the kwamis DID have effects on earth, but they couldnt consistently intervene - at least not in a controlled fashion. and they couldnt really communicate with humans cuz different field of existence. but their presence became known even if the humans didnt know what they were exactly

the set from the miracle box was made my a mage in china for the purpose of conquests. Hexx’s mischief and meddling probably gave the humans access to the magic/knowledge/whatever they’d need for making the Miraculous. The pitch to get these baby gods to agree was that tikki would have greater control of her powers and could communicate and help! tikki was down. It seemed like a Good Thing and she wanted to do good. Plagg was meh but might as well cuz tikki insisted. hexx wasn't convinced. they werent warned theyd be confined to the miraculous and essentially trapped. plaggs agreement was more out of ignorance of this fact. he figured he could make tikki happy but still fuck off to do what he wanted. never imagined that he'd be subject to another's will. 

tikki was happy regardless bc very young (developmentally) and naive and honestly believing that the human knew best and it's what was best for both the kwamis and humanity. she had so much power her jewel had to be split into two - thus, earrings. all other kwamis inhabit a singular miraculous.

when hexx was being trapped it was against his will, unlike plagg and the others. he fought it. he still got trapped but the miraculous wasnt like the others. the nature was different... it was corrupted. Cue: cursed miraculous(es) ((still not sure of the plural)). If he has to suffer then by Null so do the humans who did this. Thus the name Hexx. Opened the option for kwamis to try to fight it or go for it. Werewolves perhaps stem from a group of cursed canid kwamis? The Miracle Box is basically the kwamis who were aight with the idea but other cursed kwamis exist. 

The nature of a miraculous depends on the "recipe" used to make the jewels and the kwami's receptiveness to being basically enslaved. The Miracle Box miraculous were all made by the same mage mentioned earlier so they had the same recipe so to speak. All the kwamis in the miracle box fall under yin or yang. Including the elements. So the Zodiac and Wu Xing kwamis are all in either tikki or plagg's domains. Except for one. I propose trixx as the exception, even if they dont fit the traits of earth. i was thinking for the other supporting kwami to hexx there could be one that also refused to join the mage... the kwami representing air (wu xing is basically the only philosophy without air as an element in some shape or form). Possible name: Jinxx, a crow. The fox/crow/cat are all typical tricksters in myths. 

The way the kwamis’ powers can be manipulated varies and the cursed kwamis offer the least control to their wielders - and the greatest side effects. I imagine jinxx just fucks off to follow hexx's miraculous, wherever it may be. Hexx is closer to the original curse on pv chat noir... the curse is possibly activated and summoned by the use of tikki or plagg's powers outside their miraculous? And dormant after death of wielder or kiss from LB or something. So that would mean Plagg activated him in style queen and then helping him get a better location/target with the smaller cataclysm in i think catalyst (when he's like "ive been practicing!).

Together, plagg and tikki have that OP wish granting ability but they cant truly summon Null to the this dimension without Hexx, who adamantly refuses. it's not like Hexx's miraculous can be stolen cuz it's cursed onto the subject. As a summary of combined powers... Tikki + Plagg = wish granting? ... Hexx + Tikki = good luck ... Hexx + Plagg = bad luck ... cuz Hexx is about possibility and consequences. So creation-related effects tend to manifest as what humans deem to be good while destruction-related ones are seen as bad.

Hexx Making an Appearance

For the current Mari/Adri plot I thought of Hexx cursing Felix or sth and bringing him onto the hero scene. Comes with the benefit of jealous CN. Maybe a scene where cat-ish Felix tells Chat Noir that he’s not interested in LB, only Mari and they have some sorta agreement to respect that (would work best in the half brother’s thing if Adri found out). All hell would break loose if/when LBs identity came out.

 Also I like the idea of Hexx having been locked in Pandora's jar with other angry ~cursed~ miraculous and the others immediately fucked off and scattered their miraculous but Hexx remained. possibility and consequence does not mean bad things. it's the uncertainty of the future that allows for hope, which is what pandora found. the greek tales also have varying connotations on whether finding hope was a blessing or a curse depending on how you looked at it

[gogoakechi]

i hate when people try to say there are devil figures in every other religion when Satan is an entirely unique occurrence. like, entities such as mara or a/pep are indisputable evils with very clear explanations to what they stand for and why theyre bad. the devil is so much more complicated, so much more individual, and stands for more subjective concepts such as opposition and “forbidden knowledge”. plus theres the dynamics of each religion. such as kemeticisms creation vs nonexistence or hinduisms knowledge and peace vs chaos and ignorance. and then youve got abrahamic religions which are pretty much just. heaven vs hell. whats right or wrong isnt based on morals so much as its based on gods will. and when you dont morally agree with gods will, Satan starts to look more and more like the good guy. but you cant say the same about embodiments of needless hatred and destruction. thats why Satan is incomparable.

[a-memoir-of-me-blog]

convo with my cousins bf again about this government and pyramid scheme matrix shit we live in

Him: but yeah. The world is blaming and i blame the powerful ones (we cant blame them but only ourselves because we let them have our power. We literally hand it over to them in the form of money and we inflate their ego because we put so much value in what a dollar is and when they get more of that, then they think they have all the value and power over us). Its okay though bc chances are nothing will happen to upset the balance of things regardless so u might as well enjoy life while is lasts (....how do u enjoy it when they are literally enslaving you to serve them when you dont want to? The only people i would ever serve are those who do good and give back to all the people who do serve that person and that makes everyone all for one….). As a big joke thats been played on u (fr….life is a joke in this context…). Its the analysis of the comedian from watchmen

Me: when was there ever balance tho….its always a pull and push. The good and bad always fighting

Him: simple. There was balance before the first world war thania (ok….obviously he isnt thinking back long enough and wider lol)

Me: lol was there?

Him: when people around the world made a business out of making weapons capable of wiping entire battalions of men (uhhhh….literally this can be traced back to like cavemen times lol of war). People never thought. Should i (take this new resource and element we found) and make it into a weapon capable of killing many (or should i make it into something that is constructive and productive instead of destructive)? They didnt they just thought they were going to win the war and make a quick buck out of it (and get resources they fought for--which is all destroyed and the whole thing cant even be used because we forgot the huge toll is put on everything in the world)

Me: omg….dont even get me started on war

Him: the people lost the sentiment they required for their fellow men as they created weapons capable of killing hundreds. And it was all at the root that their country (or tribe or whatever..) was the best because they were born in it (which is also why i hate patriotism). It was just different before then. Rih people were still being dicks but then they had clear opposition within the government unlike now where rich and government are one and the same (because the rich consumed them bc they were being fair)

Me: tbh its not even the creation of weapons capable of mass destruction. Its more like the obsession of power and control and to have hand on all the resources that would then create tension and war between the people who are all after that one thing and they turn on one another thinking that they are stealing from one another--when really it is putting the price on necessary things--food, water, clothes, shelter--and thats it...and how it is also destructive in the way that it is processed

Him: if the dakota pipeline gets made. Which has been the greenlight by trump, already it would poison the river of the natives which connects the mississippi river which would kill the entire east coast just for oil (someone research this pls lol). Yeah. but the government opposed rich powerful men back then, now theyre one in the same (again...it doesnt matter how much you have. It depends on how you use it. Devil vs god….man vs man). Around the same time was when the women gained a higher place in society because they were needed to hold mostly men oriented jobs

Me: ahhh yessss. More money for the rich! an d also! Oil kills! Yes! World destruction! (that the rich are also apart of! Haha. dumbfucks…)
