1, 2, and/or 12 for whomever?

hi!! thank you!!

we’re doing this for Aurella Trevelyan, my most recent (and favorite, and now canon!) Inquisitor.

1.) Opinion on Orlais:

Not Positive, lmfao. At her heart, Aurella is a very dry witted and blunt person. Think Dorian, but less socially suave. She absolutely cannot stand the Chantry, as well. Orlais makes her feel itchy in a very bad way, and she would much prefer the Most Powerful Nation Around to be one that isn’t in bed with the chantry. However she’s a HUGE gossip so she does enjoy all of the drama involved with nobility there.

2.) Is she good at The Grand Game? Not in the way you’d think, and not originally, but yes. She grew up in the circle, so she got really good at lying, really quickly. Josephine didn’t really have much to teach her after that aside from keeping her up to date on the latest tea.

12.) Opinion on Mabari: okay so, As A Dog Trainer, i don’t think i can have a character who isn’t Extremely Into Mabari. like, Cullen finds their pup, and they settle down, and Aurella finds both of them are most effectively able to decompress and work through all of the Inquisition Trauma when they’re working with their STILL UNNAMED Mabari (i NEED a name)

apologies for the short incoherent answers, covid has entered my household so all of our brains have, of course, melted entirely

What animals would your OCs be? (Jackalope Flor, muntjac deer sebastian, etc etc)

akane is a cat! calm, fluffy, common, or so she appears. she knows her place, she knows what she deserves, and will take it. "oh, that vase you really like? what if I push it off?" kind of behaviour is like her. tick her off and you'll also have scratches.

aoto is an European badger! Looks cute and fluffy from a distance, if you don't know better, almost approachable, but once you come close, you realize that's not the case, and the actual dangerous personality beneath the chill facade shows.

yvonne is a dragonfly! beautiful, with big wings that shine rainbow in the sunlight, elegant, but actually extremely territorial, not only towards her own species, but also towards the smaller, insignificant bugs.

eliana (little sneak peak for a new oc....) is a mauve stinger jellyfish. she is beautiful, with long 'arms', similar to her long hair, but unapproachable. or so she seems, because the sting is extremely painful, but not even slightly life threatening.

How Ohara Foreshadowed the Ancient Weapons and the Cult of Nika

Part 1: The Solar System

It is my opinion that the Ancient Kingdom, the Ancient Weapons, and Nika’s connection to it all was foreshadowed in the Ohara flashback. In this post we’ll go through some background information and evidence, then onto my personal theory of the matter.  This got a bit big, so I’ve split it into 3 main parts. 

First of all, many people have noticed that these symbols are very similar:

(Plus many more throughout the story) They are 8 circles around a central circle, sometimes with other stuff added around it, like the Kozuki crest or the cross. For now, I will be focusing on the circles. 

Now, Moving onto this scene from the Ohara flashback and the model of the One Piece World, which is another example of similar imagery.

Interestingly, there are only 7 satellites around the central planet (Counting the satellite of a satellite)that we can see. Most people assumed they were moons, but with the introduction of the minks and moon cycles, I don’t think that is it. The next popular theory is that of a geocentric model of the solar system. 

I instead propose that it is neither, but instead an Orrery. 

As Wikipedia states, “An orrery is a mechanical model of the Solar System that illustrates or predicts the relative positions and motions of the planets and moons, usually according to the heliocentric model.” It is used to show the position of the planets in the night sky, to track time, and predict astrological events such as solar and lunar eclipses. The current model is primarily based on Benjamin Martin Orrery , but a version of it was created during Ancient Greece and is considered one of the first analogue computers.

Here is an example that resembles the one from Ohara:

Now there is something I find odd about the Ohara model, however.

(Behold my shitty editing skills)

There are 7 planets but 5 orbits.  1 and 2 are on the yellow orbit, 3 and 7 are on the red, 4 and 5 are on the purple, and 6 is on the blue. But there is none on the green. I propose that there is, or once was, an 8th planet that would have been on the green orbit. Or the green is just a wire to keep the others in place. In that case, the 8th planet would be on the blue, since the blue is the only one with a single planet on its orbit.  Either  way, there is a  missing planet that is either hidden on the other side of this model that we can’t see, or it was destroyed. 

In our world, our solar system consists of 8 planets, but when Oda started, it had 9. Therefore, I think the One Piece universe had 9 planets, but one was destroyed.  And I do think that the archaeologists know about it, most likely through ancient texts/models. But they know that that planet is gone.

And I think this is what is behind the common symbol of a central circle surrounded by 8 smaller ones, it is a model of the solar system as seen by the main planet. And it is a representation of not only the Sun, but of the Solar System, the planets that circle the sun. Nika is not only the sun god, but he is the god of the solar system. 

Additionally, there are 9 Rio Poneglyphs that are meant to reveal the history of the void century. Why nine? Is it one for each of the planets in the solar system? 8 squares around a central square. We see this motif again, but this time with different shapes, and of the poneglyphs that are meant to reveal the true history.

TLDR: The model we see in Ohara is neither a geometric model of the universe or showing that there are seven moons, but instead it is an Orrery, a model of the solar system as it relates to a central planet in order to predict astrological events. The Ohara model may indicate that there is a missing 9th planet in the solar system. And the circular motif that keeps popping up is representative of the planets in the solar system as well as the sun because Nika is not only the sun god, but the god of the solar system.

So, what happened to the 9th planet?

friendship is magic

closeups:

[inkskinned]

we were sitting on the floor and i was cutting out tiny pictures to make a collage for a friend's birthday. you were on your phone and you laughed about something, and i was still in love with you then, so i asked what had you giggling.

"sorry. i was just..." you took a moment and went back to texting. "i was telling someone about how you're afraid of the dark."

i'm afraid of the dark because something bad happened. "oh." i felt a little slinky of shame crawl down my throat.

you glanced up, and maybe it showed on my face, because you rolled your eyes and held the phone to the side casually so i could see the group chat. "what? was it a secret?"

i looked down to the scissors in my hand. "i just..." no, it's not a secret. it just felt like something private, something serious. saying why would you tell someone that just feels like an accusation. it's unfair. i honestly am not even ashamed of it, it's just a fact about my person that i don't usually share.

what a strange experience. is this a human thing or a generational thing? for our grandparents: did they need to worry about how quickly someone can just... share your personal information? again, i didn't even really have a true objection. what could i say? i want any person in my life to feel they can be honest with their friends. it's not like i said don't tell anyone this.

i cut out another letter to complete the rainbow happy birthday, started hunting for the exclamation mark. i heard you sigh dramatically.

"don't make a big deal about this," you said.

this entire conversation was a pattern for us, and this was when we got to my least favorite part of the pattern. i would get my feelings hurt in some oblique not-technically-terrible way, and then it would be making a big deal about something. you'd get frustrated for me for being soft, but i was born soft. you knew i was soft when you pierced me. it's one of the things that made controlling me so easy.

"i'm not," i felt my voice crack. the question came without my wanting. "why are you guys talking about me?" and why are you saying that thing? why not like - i'm telling them how you're generous and kind and pretty.

you let out this low, tragic groan. "oh my god." you tossed the phone away from your body. "there, see? i just won't talk to them if you don't like it."

the rest of the hour went the way it always went, between us: i said i don't actually mind if you talk to your friends but -, you found a way to call my minor expression of discomfort "being dramatic." you got upset that i had been offended. i ended up apologizing, even though i hadn't actually done anything.

afterwards, you picked up the phone again. after texting for a little bit, you snorted. "okay," you said, "but it is kind of funny you're afraid of the dark. i mean, when you think about it."

WAIT CHAT HOLD ON-

SENTINEL HAS WINGS!!!!!

"Yeah obviously he turns into a jet-" NO!!!!!

Initially I thought they were like angel wings (which yeah, they are) and it's great symbolism because of his whole false Prime thing. He has this façade about being a noble leader and all that and he probably thinks that he's Primus' gift to the universe. The Devil disguised as an angel. Or something something the Devil was once the most beautiful angel of all. Idk lotsa places you can go with the angel symbolism.

HOWEVER

They're GOLDEN. You know who else had golden wings? Icarus. Who flew too close to the sun. Who's entire myth is about hubris and how pride can be your undoing. Does that sound familiar to you guys???

Sentinel flew too close to the sun believing that he could kill the Primes and seize all that wealth and power with no consequence. He thought that he was sooo great and nothing bad would ever happen to him because he won!!! And then he got too comfortable and sloppy and everything he built fell apart in just one day.

Whoever was on the design team for Transformers One you cooked hard with this one
