#spirit world cael

[lost-khione]

I don't like that this young Cael version in Spirit World does not only look like Gaku but he's starting to actually sound like him too

I also like young Cael's voice over adult Cael's....

[unluckysatellite]

Happy 1st Anniversary, Lovebrush Chronicles! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ Are softer world remixes even popular any more??

Alt versions under the cut~

[smudgedvolt]

I just need to get this off my chest, below contains cropped pics from the Paragons CN Spirit World profile intro thing just in case + me rambling and speculating about Spirit World related content:

(I apologize in advance if this isn't the easiest to read through, I've never really rambled here before.)

SO. If there's one world I keep looking forward to, it's Spirit World because there are just so many things that intrigue me. But other than the outfits and myths they seem to take inspiration for (which I may speak about some other time) each of the Paragons has a symbol attached to their intro profiles that relates to them in some way. Oddly enough, these symbols are missing from the JP and ENG versions of their profiles, and I can only wonder why.

Almost all the symbols have elements that are also present in their outfits/have meaning tied to themselves.

Here they are:

Lars' symbol, contains shapes that look like a rising sun + wings that tie into the jewelry he wears (very much related to Ancient Egypt)

Alkaid's is shaped like the head of a stag, with hornlike protrusions and most notably the star in the center that makes up the head shape.

Ayn's has flames (which are present around his body) and clawlike markings that tip-off to his wolf design (the design itself also does look a bit like a wolf head) There's also a Penrose triangle shape, but that's tied more closely to another version of himself...possibly for another time.

Clarence's contains feather-like shapes, dangly rectangular shapes with those circles behind it that are similar to the earrings he dons, but most importantly there's that serpent that snakes around into something of a figure 8. Infinity? He's frequently associated with the passage of time (wanting things moments to last forever, centuries of waiting etc)

But then there's Cael's, which initially stuck out to me as I was looking at these symbols because I could not pinpoint anything on his outfit or character that could possibly give me a hint as to what it was trying to show.

A circle with odd symbols and an X in the center?

Then I realized. Take a good look at this.

The Wheel of Fortune Tarot Card:

IT'S THE SAME THING. Albeit with some artistic liberties, but everything from the symbols on the outer side of the circle to the x shape is present.

So I immediately went to go check the meaning behind this card to see what this could mean. I'm no Tarot expert, so I will link the resources below so you can have a look for yourself:

UPRIGHT: Good luck, karma, life cycles, destiny, a turning point

REVERSED: Bad luck, resistance to change, breaking cycles (From here)

Now, I can only imagine what will happen in Spirit World because I don't really like to spoil myself ahead of time. But if Cael becomes a Love Interest at this stage of the story, the upright meaning of this card would apply, and it really does fit him.

What I'm worried about is the meaning if you read it reversed. I wonder what will happen in this world, and what it could mean for MC and Cael, as well as the others.

I typed this all in one go and I feel like I could articulate myself better but I got too excited. If anyone is interested in more of my thoughts I could try to whip out some more things I've been sitting on.

[little-big-boo-and-a-rat]

Why did nobody warn me Cael's route in the City at War event was going to bring me back Godheim PTSD

Because this

Already made me go "oh no. Oh no."

BUT THEN.

I could feel the growing dread. Those damn butterflies. Winter is going to become a personal trigger remember my words.

AND.

I THOUGHT SO HARD HE WAS GOING BACK IN HIS GASLIGHTING KING MODE BECAUSE I REMEMBER CAEL I REMEMBER GODHEIM.

My heart ? Stopped. Brain ? Stoned. Existence ? Lost.

MC HAD THE SAME THOUGHT AND SHE WAS STRONGER THAN ME BECAUSE IF MY MAN TURNED BACK TO THE SILVER KNIGHT I WOULD PACK MY BAGS AND NEVER DREAM AGAIN

All of this. Just for him to say he wiggled his magic fingers to fuck MC's dreams ??????????? Because he didn't feel right ???????? WHAT ABOUT MY THERAPY BILLS CAEL. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

So yeah this messed me up royally and you can't change my mind this was done intentionally. As if I would ever forget the emotional rollercoaster Godheim was, esteemed devs

[haruichi-mamiya]

hey guys spirit world is in like *checks clock* a few hours what the fuck but take this meme i made based on cael's "i wouldn't mind witnessing another civilization's end" line from the spirit world pv

[xcerizex]

The LI's respective tarot cards.

So upon finding this video, I realized that the LI's already had a tarot card assigned to each of them respectively. It's shown in the section when the modern and Godheim counterparts are shown sided by side at the back in the video.

Alkaid - The Star

Ayn - The Chariot

Lars - The Emperor

Clarence - The Hermit

Cael - The Wheel of Fortune (whoever found out about this through his spirit world symbol in that one post give yourself a pat on the back)

Lovebrush Chronicles: Tarot Cards

So, me and a few others on the Lovebrush Chronicles Discord server were talking about tarot cards, and which ones would fit the main characters best. A huge thank you to the Lars and Clarence fans for spitballing ideas with me for them! Now, the alternate versions of the characters would have different tarots than their modern versions, so for the sake of this post, I'll be focusing on their modern versions, and the general ideas behind all of their alternate selves.

Ayn Alwyn: Death

UPRIGHT: end of cycle, beginnings, change, metamorphosis REVERSED: fear of change, holding on, stagnation, decay

There are three tarot cards that deal with the idea of change. The one I felt fit Ayn the most was the Death tarot. Ayn finds it hard to let go of his past - all versions of him. So, while Ayn is often forced into life changing situations, it's at a great expense. He has to let go of his past, his walls, and his routine to move on.

Alkaid McGrath: The Fool

UPRIGHT: beginnings, innocence, spontaneity, a free spirit REVERSED: holding back, recklessness, risk-taking

Alkaid also has one of the tarot cards representative of change: The Fool. While the other cards signify great difficulty or strife in achieving this change, The Fool tells of someone who willingly jumps head first into the unknown with an open mind. Alkaid yearns to see the world, and to push his limits, even at great risk.

Lars Rorschach: The Sun

UPRIGHT: joy, success, celebration, positivity REVERSED: negativity, depression, sadness

The Sun tarot is one of connecting with your inner child. It is one of optimism and positivity. Lars is a character who has worked long and hard to get where he's at. He's never had the chance to let loose and be himself until finding success. While he is a realist who is well aware of the bad in the world, he finds joy in the little things he never got to do in his youth.

Clarence Clayden: The Hierophant

UPRIGHT: tradition, conformity, morality, ethics REVERSED: rebellion, subversiveness, new approaches

The Hierophant represents an established set of rules and values. As a law student, Clarence seeks to use these established systems to one day make the world a better place. However, not all good can be achieved under these restrictions. Clarence is willing to go against the grain if he believes it is for a good cause.

Cael Anselm: The Moon

UPRIGHT: unconscious, illusions, intuition REVERSED: confusion, fear, repressed emotion

While The High Priestess is a card of spiritual enlightenment, The Moon is a card of emotional enlightenment. It is also a card of illusion. Cael is initially an incredibly deceptive character; he is not what he seems. Likewise, the same could be said for his emotions as he navigates his repressed feelings for the Little Painter.

Little Painter: The Hermit

UPRIGHT: contemplation, search for truth, inner guidance REVERSED: loneliness, isolation, lost your way

And finally, we get to our main character, the Little Painter. The Hermit indicates a search for answers; The Little Painter discovers a lot about herself and her past, as well as the nature of the universe and her role in it. She seeks the truth in each world, despite the loneliness her knowledge and position impose upon her.

Kes, #3 XD

3. What is your OC's financial status? Are they just scraping by, making enough to live comfortably, or wealthy? Has there ever been a drastic change in their status? If so, what happened?

Haha! As with everything about Kes, this is going to turn into a Kes&Cael answer XD

At any given moment, Kes has maybe three coins on him, and it varies whether they're copper or silver. He is always "just scraping by", but he's also perfectly comfortable. This is because Caelnir is always with him, and Cael will steal money and/or goods whenever they need it, or he'll pull out his mandolin and earn a meal and a bed. And if Kes does need to pitch in to earn coin, he'll roll up his sleeves to do chores, or offer his skills as a cook. And he'll sometimes join Cael's performances, singing along with him.

Kes is also willing and capable of stealing to support himself, he's just a little pickier about who he'll steal from. Cael is careful about who he steals from, because he wouldn't want to leave someone in dire straights, but he's also likely to steal from assholes just out of pettiness, even if he doesn't need the gold at the moment. So his coin purse is generally more hefty and useful than Kes'. And his money is also Kes' money, so it doesn't really matter whose purse the coins are carried in.

Other than the years he lived with the Order, first in the underdark with Cael's family, then in one of the chapter-houses on the surface, Kes has always lived hand to mouth. With his mother being a Harper/Bard who lived on the road and raised him in taverns and inns, and his own wandering spirit, he's never really settled down somewhere that he could take a job and earn money. And as a Harper himself, he doesn't take payment for the work he does.

Living with the Order of the Silver Dark is probably the most drastic change to his status. It's the only time he's lived permanently in one place, and he felt awfully spoiled by the home they provided him. A bed of his own?? A chest to keep his belongings in? A kitchen open around the clock, with plenty of delicious and hardy food? And a kitchen staff who loves him and saves him the last of the precious butter and honey brought down from the surface? He felt like he was living like a king.

But it wasn't very hard for him to walk away from it. Those luxuries were nothing compared to the joy of exploring the world.

Many people might consider him a pauper (including his beloved Astarion, at first). But he's well dressed, well fed, and as comfortable sleeping on the ground as he is in a bed. He has his family, and he has his calling, and he doesn't need more than that.

[viaetor]

a near-electric spark courses through kazuha's fingers as he gently presses his palm, freed from its usual wraps, against the famed traveler's chest (stars and skies dangling at his fingertips as he does so). a gentle smile lightens up his features, creates crinkles at the corner of his eyes. how long has it been, since they'd last bid each other goodbye on the docks of inazuma? "i have missed this scent of burning stars..." the samurai mutters; crimson eyes rising up to meet molten amber, up close, so close their noses are practically touching. ah, how oft he had dreamt of this reunion; and not once in his wildest dreams, had it been as sweet as the real thing. "and i have missed you."

@apocryphis ㅤㅤ/ㅤㅤUNPROMPTEDㅤㅤ/ㅤㅤalways accepting!

ㅤㅤseasons change, time passes, and new scars are collected like trophies. 

ㅤㅤsummer winds warmed ships’ sails, testing the resiliency of masts, captains and crew alike—so agitated some parts of the ocean got that it was easy to lose sight of fellow boats, shrouded by hills of hungry waves. the sky of scorching sun rays would quickly transform into thunderstorms as well, and much to the dismay of specialised navigators, the wind was either ferocious or lethargic, harder to predict this time of the year. on all accounts, it was ill-advised to travel to inazuma during such months; the trip was long and perilous and, therefore, more expensive. in short, not worthy to anyone. many sailors promised interested travellers at the docks that it was best to wait for the autumn breeze, it’d soon come about in a few weeks, provisions would be easier to administer, and many lurking dangers would be minimised. they even patted aether’s back, giggling at his eagerness. aether had time, they assured him. indeed, he had all the time in the world. perhaps even more.

ㅤㅤhe could’ve waited, it’s true. no matter how fleeting, there would be other autumns, winters, springs and summers. despite having written kazuha a letter telling him he’d be there on the next crescent moon, aether knew kazuha would understand if he was late. by a month, by a year, by a decade—only gods knew how gentle and forgiving that samurai could be. he could visit him another time, and tales foretold that the stars would compensate for his patient mind and spirit. there was no virtual reason for him to be in such a hurry. a whim was all that moved him. desire, passion, yearning, call it what you will—surely, it could be subdued with reason. but not this time. so instead of sitting and sulking, the caeling set sail by himself, leaving behind concerned shouts at liyue harbor. if there was one thing he had learned in all his fables, it was that, sometimes, you needed to pick up the pace. he’d apologise for taking one of pinghai’s boats later.

ㅤㅤwith scrapes on his cheek and arms from battles fought against sea monsters and lightning, unkempt hair and maresia glued to his lips, he docked his ship on ritou. he looked around as if looking for something (someone), until a smile was coerced from his stoic expression. he was really there. just like the last time. and the last. and the last. and the next. amongst the waving trees, loving crimson hues ran in his direction. aether dropped the ropes and whatever bags he held in his arms—and ran where the wind guided him.

ㅤㅤinside his chest, beat no heart. a burning star core was all there was to it—a pragmatic thing it was truly, akin to a battery to let others know that the caeling lived still. nothing as magical as a human heart or that precious little grin on the poet’s face. yet… when kazuha caressed there with curious fingertips, he almost felt like he could have one. he wondered if kazuha felt the same way when aether caressed his silver strands and calculated how much they had grown out since the last time they saw each other. he wanted to take in every fibre of his being and cherish them. he hoped his companion felt as alive—as intoxicated—when he dared to adventure his touch. but aether’s love was of the whispery kind, so he wouldn’t ask—he preferred to lean in, grazing the tips of their noses slowly, longingly. he wondered if he tasted as sweet as his voice. it’d have been so easy to brush their lips together, to dive in for a kiss, to sigh in relief while drinking from maple pits. but for this? for this, aether had time; plenty of time. for this, he could wait for autumn, or for winter, or for spring, or for the next summer. even if his claws and fangs itched, he had all the time in the world. for this. for him.

ㅤㅤ“hmmm, is that so…?” there was a throaty hum as the outlander breathed in the herbs on pearly hair before touching their foreheads together, followed by a loose grin of a voyager who seemed to have found a treasure worth detouring for. he thus wrapped a strand of the ronin’s hair on his gloved index right before kissing the tips as melting gold met reds. yes. he had all the time of the world. “then we should watch the beautiful moon together, kazuha.” but that didn’t mean he could tease him just a little bit.

In a realm where Greek gods and Celtic spirits danced, a tale of love unfolded. A warrior named Cael and a bardess named Fiona, met in the midst of battle. As Hades whispered secrets of the underworld to Cael, Athena's wisdom guided Fiona's hands. Their hearts, entwined like ivy, blossomed in a world where myth and magic collided.

The angels live on the moons that float around the planet Mundus, interfering in humanity's affairs only when the Creator thought that would be for the best. To bring peace and harmony.

After centuries of fighting for this cause, now you know that only fools would think there is a possibility of a peaceful world full of harmony. There is no such thing in the ranks of angels, too.

Multiple endings.

Dahariel (F) - An angel you know. Every time you saw each other, Dahariel always attempted to befriend you. She's the type of angel who tries to do what's best for angelic society, but what is best in Dahariel's eyes?

Kawasa (M) - A mischievous forest spirit. Kawasa is a popular bard who likes to poke his nose into other people's business, and it's only a matter of time before he'll poke into things he shouldn't.

Lira Zaril (M, F, or NB) - A former hero who can't stop being a hero. Intimidating and hostile to nearly anyone, Lira still gets respect from people by fighting evil in this world. And it looks like they can see evil in you.

Opiel (M, F, or NB) - The only angel with whom you got close, until Opiel fell and left you when you needed them the most. Now even the sweetest memories of you two together are tainted with bitterness and resentment.

Vilent\Vilentia Roshe (M or F) - The ruler of the Caele Empire. On the better days, people call their monarch fair and just, and at the worst — tyrannical. Can you find some use in them, or will they find use in you?

Zephyrus (NB) - An undead seer. With a mysterious aura and polite smiles, they often appear in the right places at the right time, telling the right things to the right people.

Abandoned one (?) - Someone who waited long enough.
