IM SORRY THIS SAT IN MY DRAFTS SO LONG BUT I FINALLY EDITED IT
Ah. Time to articulate. So I want to be clear right at the start here and say most of this hinges on my own interpretations of symbolism. There is nowhere in the lore where anything says point blank “Marika wanted to make an angel of vengeance” (or something similar, but in fromsoft writing style). But to me it’s implied that’s what she did!
Basically, take this read with a grain of salt because it’s a lot of interpretation! You don’t have to enjoy it or agree with it, and symbols often represent many things, so there are definitely multiple ways to read Messmer.
That said let’s get into it.
First of all, I’m working under the assumption Messmer is Marika’s firstborn. This is heavily implied from Gaius’ greaves, which say Messmer was an elder brother to Radahn. The only other demigods we know to be older than Radahn would be Godwyn and the omen twins (? Possibly, unclear on where they fit in the timeline). Messmer could feasibly be somewhere in the middle of that lineup, but I think not based on his vibes and symbolism (we’ll get to this later in the post). I think Marika had him shortly after the genocide of her people. The O Mother gesture being in Bonny Village also implies this—like Marika gave birth somewhere familiar. This is slightly complicated by opening narration saying the first demigods were Godfrey’s children. Marika may have taken Godfrey as Elden Lord before she left the Shadow Lands, which would make this make sense.
Second of all: the genocide. Understandably, Marika was distraught with grief and rage after her people were destroyed and put into jars (items to check out here are anything to do with living jars, but specifically the tooth whip and the spectres around Bonny Village and the Gaols). This was done for spiritual reasons (implied by ghosts saying they’ll be “saints”), so it seems Marika’s apotheosis was a direct response to what happened and a very…thematic attempt at revenge.
That’s the key thing here: revenge. And that divinity is the way to get it.
Revenge is Marika’s focus right around the time she had Messmer. I think she may have manifested that desire in him. I don’t just mean that she raised him to be an armament of war (though that is likely true, too) but that she literally put all of what she was feeling into his soul.
…I know that’s very metaphysical and weird, but it is how I see their relationship. In fact, I think most if not all of Marika’s children represent some aspect of her own being and are manifestations of some desire. For example, Godwyn seems to be the first of Godfrey’s children born in Leyndell and is the incarnation of the “ideal” order of things.
But anyways back to Messmer.
Messmer was born of a “single god.” Regardless of who you think his second parent is (or if he even has one), Marika is the god this refers to. Something about her newly-given godhood and the depth of her human emotion just screams to me that she might’ve, accidentally or intentionally, birthed what she felt the world needed: something to bathe it in divine fire and avenge her people.
A lot of that read has to do with Messmer’s fire as well and how it’s discussed.
I know some people think the fire is his curse (and you could certainly view a soul full of vengeance this way) alongside the base serpent, but given the way items describe it, I don’t think so. It seems to me that the fire was only an attractant for the base serpent. Snakes sense our heat, after all, and we know from his Remembrance that the base serpent feeds off his fire. But without the base serpent, Messmer seems fine and has no issues using his fire. The fire doesn’t necessarily act as a curse—it just attracted one. That’s what I’m getting at when I say by creating an angel of vengeance, Marika ended up cursing her son.
What about the angel part of my original take? Well, Messmer is a demigod. But what originally got me thinking about this was the winged serpents. If you look at his character model, they run through his shoulders and exit from his spine and one shoulder blade. They can be held like (admittedly fucked up) wings, not to mention they have wings themselves. To me, that reads as angel.
It’s interesting to me that fire (vengeance) insta-cursed Messmer. Because that’s true to life. You can’t end cycles of violence by killing/hurting just One More Guy. If your only purpose in life is revenge, of fucking course you’re gonna end up with The Horrors gnawing at your soul.
That’s pretty much all I have for elaboration on my original take. Hope this helps 👍
TLDR: there is no canon evidence for the original post, I just like interpreting winged serpent positioning and fire symbolically and got “damn he’s an angel of vengeance.”
If you’re wondering why I’m like this: it’s because I’ve read Carrie, so now I get way too into religious vengeance in media since it reminds me of that book.
Bonus: biblically accurate angel vibes from all the eyes on the base serpent
Marika trying to create an angel of vengeance and instead accidentally laying a curse on her firstborn because Cycle of Violence is so….yeah. I don’t have the words right now to express this more articulately oops

you'd think a timeloop of mouthwashing would go so hard but unfortunately i think to remain true to the source material. the crew member stuck in the time loop WOULD have to be jimmy
#opposite of a 'fix it' fic#'i didn't think it was possible for things to get worse but you keep proving me wrong' fic#mouthwashing#sorry i have a lot of thoughts about this#i think so much of curly's character is tied up in like. you knew something was wrong and you didn't act and now you can't.#like it's not a coincidence to me when the printout for the asteroid warning comes out. you had a heads up about the asteroid#you had a heads up about this man. and you didn't act and now you can't.#so I don't think a timeloop would work for him. it WOULD fix him but it would not fix his character. iykwim#anya and swansea would get too much done. all you need is one time where you have access to the scanner to get the gun#and you can just start killing jimmy. and they would. good for them#i would feel too bad to do that to daisuke. im not sure what he would learn other than exactly what swansea points out#abt learning and coming out worse#unfortunately mr bob the builder wannabe WOULD think he should be in a timeloop and it would match his character /neg

#i'd recommend zooming in bc the changes between panels are pretty subtle. they'll be easier to see on the cropped versions but i wanted to#include the whole thing too because i think it looks nice like that :)#opening up to yukina as the final hopeful yet unresolved part of hiei's arc of learning to trust and love and be loved by others is like.#aughh. fascinating choice anyway here's a take on how it'd go. from me. a sap#smth smth hiei letting his vulnerability show via the thing that unites them (bloodline via the hiruseki stone) which is inherently tied#to emotion and letting his feelings about her and his past show to someone. grahh#yyh#yu yu hakusho#yukina#hiei#skrunkart#also due to the title and the organization of this comic one could call this a landing strip#anyway um. posting more yyh but this time it's not funny at all oops. glad y'all liked the other one though jksdjfkjs#anyway yukina's important you should talk about her more#would also like to point out how in the final panel hiei doesn't actually touch her with his other arm. it's just resting on his hand#enclosing her but still kinda distant. he's still got some healing to do#edit argh i uploaded a slightly wrong version. fixed now. it just didn't have yukina's crying onomotopoeia#but i wanted them back in bc sound is so important to this one#WAIT PANELS SWAPPED.

When Machete became a cardinal, did his parents ever recognize him?
Machete's home village was on the other side of Italy (and separated by the sea no less) and it was small, relatively rural and remote. It's very unlikely many news about Holy See's happenings made their way there. I don't think his parents had any reason to expect to ever hear about him again, he seemed to be somewhat of a lost cause when they dropped him off.
#to my best understanding class divide was so immense you'd be very unlikely to ever encounter a single bishop in person let alone a cardinal#and people didn't move around like they do now chances are you'd die in the same town you were born in without ever leaving it#Machete tends to stick out visually and he's an important figure so maybe he's known by word of mouth even outside of the Vatican walls#if his parents met him they might maybe recognize him but he probably wouldn't recognize them#he doesn't remember much of anything from his early childhood#he doesn't go by his original birth name he was renamed at the monastery and has essentially reinvented himself since he became a cardinal#so ties to his sicilian past are largely cut I think#social classes were very fixed and rigid I believe one of the only ways to move to a higher status was to become part of the clergy#and again you needed to be at least passably literate to do that that was the largest roadblock#Machete may be kind of pathetic but his social climbing skills are nothing short of remarkable#part of it is just dumb luck but he is exceedingly hardworking and very very good at what he's doing#it took him less than 30 years to move from a provincial foundling to pope's right hand man#answered#anonymous#Machete#Vaschete lore

Shoutout to this draft I made a couple hours ago when I suddenly had an epiphany for how I could fix a part of my story and I was so excited that the only way I could express it is to write whatever this is but I couldn’t post it because I didn’t have internet
also it got marked as mature for some reason
#mood honestly#OHHH OHH. WA#there is pure happiness behind those words#I don’t know if I’ll keep the idea that I came up with but it’s so much better than what I had before#ties up loose ends while also keeping it vague like I wanted mmmm#and the ending isn’t super depressing now!!! sort of!!!#it is Not final so I won’t yap about it just yet but#I think I might be able to give gourdie a somewhat happy ending….that is all I wanted…..yes…..#cause like damn at first she was just miserable by the end with no happiness in sight. which didn’t really match the rest of the story#cause it’s more so lighthearted even when there’s like. death and stuff#like. bad shit happens but it’s not an emotionally charged angsty story#if people do find it sad despite the jokey tone then all the better because that means I can have my cake and eat it too#but my point is simply that Gourdie’s ending did NOT match up with anything else#she was just left completely depressed by the end#BUT I CAN FIX IT. I THINK. STILL WORKINH IT OUT IN MY MIND#TRYING TO MAKE SURE IT WOULDNT RETCON ANYTHING PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED#perhaps it makes the ending a bit less impactful but who tf thinks I’m going for impact!!!#gourdie gets to mysteriously disappear too. as a treat.#and it also plugs that plot hole…yes….good…..#I’m just rambling at this point hey guys how ya doin#pdbc#not a pikmin post#more pdbc posts are coming cause I spent like 4 hours today writing#by that I mean like. 4 hours of just trying to fix the ending. but I kinda did it soooo#point is I rarely have scripts for certain sections and I now have a script for a sliver of a section so that’s a win#this is a huge wall of text uhhhh#I’ve been yapping about pdbc an unhealthy amount lately and I’ll never stop#my friend wants to know the lore as well so I’ll have to find a way to explain it all to her#< it’ll be easier for her to understand actually cause of reasons#anyway I’ll shut up now bye bye

thinking about matthias having a sensitivity to hearing you call his name 😣♡ he can't remember the last time he heard someone say it so passionately. most people just opt for "mr. czernin" out of polite distance. calling him matthias might seem like a no brainer to you once you cross a certain threshold w/ him but his heart flutters a bit every time,, it's a welcome reminder that he is still visible to someone out there. ofc, he's good at hiding the impact it has on him
#matyá�� czernin what if we skipped into the sunset 2gether#what if i gave you chocos for vday and you thought i was asking for your opinion instead of genuinely gifting them#THIS GUY#what if i tied your hair back while you were fixing the strings of your marionette & initially you froze up but now you consistently#wear my ribbons to tie your hair 😪😪#what if we had a show where my puppet kissed your puppet 😳#what if i just i just . what if#WBAT IF WE WERE IN LOVE SOMEDAY#matthias czernin x reader#matthias czernin#idv x reader#idv imagines

Going to do a Nevermoor series reread in June + July + August ? if anyone else also wants to do a reread around that time, could be fun to have more of the fandom prepping for Silverborn
Did initially make a roadmap plan to split the books up into weeks on top of already being months, so that people could focus on specific parts and discuss each week….. but between the fact that I messed it up the first time, Silverborn kept getting delayed as I planned it, and I’m actually really bad at keeping to stuff like that (looking at you, Silverborn Countdown Challenge…) I’m deciding to just go for it at whatever pace happens.
#will def be June/July but we’ll have to see if I get into August. may want to keep most of that + September as Silverborn Hype Months lol#nevermoor#silverborn#if you ever followed my rereads thoughts masterpost for my (reread?) eternal reread and wondered ‘why no hollowpox’? boy is it a doozy#beginning of the year Apple Books updated and I’m not huge on it!#and since I couldn't fix I decided I would try and delete and reinstall the app.....#…..forgetting that my books and notes are tied to the app and not saved otherwise…..#so I lost all my notes INCLUDING all my reactions and thoughts from my very first reread that I was excited to look back on and share 🥲😭😭😭#so I’ve just been in mourning and never continued out of my personal beef with the app….#so this time I think I’ll take use of all my different physical copies and read them physically to give myself a break from screens lol#this summer is just grindset time of getting back into drawing and trying to get good so this reread I also want to draw stuff alongside#like try to nail some character designs and such to make it easier for Silverborn lol#I fear I will need to figure out how to draw dragons……#anyways. if you’ve read all these tags you are now required to join in on the reread with me 🫵#this also reminds me I need to keep working / actually work on the nine spreadsheet / masterpost. will do that ✍️#I have had several drafts saved of posts I want to respond to with theories that I’ve been saving for my hollowpox reread that now I’m like#do I just save them for Silverborn?? lol

The news in the original media: The third season of Good Omens will have just one 90-minute movie episode. The news in the media in my country: the third season of Good Omens has been CANCELED and will now only have a 90-minute special.
#If I had gotten the news from the press in my country I would have had a heart attack#ok maybe they are right#technically it is as if there is no more S3#now it is a movie#or a concluding special#the original press is just trying to soften it#I am happy because we are going to have a conclusion#I am slightly frustrated that we are not going to have a season with several episodes#but I think 90 minutes is better than nothing#it is better than canceling#90 minutes to fix the last 15 minutes of S2 and give a happy ending#it is less screen time than we would like#but it is more than we would have had if they had considered canceling and not doing anything else from GO#I am rooting for them to give us what we need (happy ending and a well-tied conclusion)#since they are not going to give us what we want (a full season)#I think it is understandable who is suffering with this news#as well as those who are accepting it with contentment#every fan has the right to let themselves feel what they are feeling#honestly? I was already expecting something like this#because it didn't make much sense to me how they would remove the screenwriter of the project and still keep the script for it?#I think a part of me already knew that the removal could mean this#now it's time to support the production and actors by sending positive vibes#because I imagine that they are not responsible for this decision#this is a matter for the executive team#and although we are frustrated that we will not have a full season#it was certainly not the ideal solution for the fans and for the production and actors and others involved#but it was the possible solution#I'm still waiting for official notes from Amazon Prime and BBC#good omens#inefabble husbands

i don’t know what you guys are all complaining about i love that svu has vaporized olivia from woman on the verge to lady cragen
#she's behind the desk she's giving advice she's scolding the kids#she has a life we know nothing about but we know she's Seen It All and also is Lonely#i haven't been saying much about this season because here is the humiliating truth:#i am letting the cop show make me sad#(i should know better)#yes the lack of eo is a bummer but we've done it before we'll do it again#but having a season of genuinely interesting character work re olivia#to have the narrative directly engage with her as a soft furious grieving woman#to question her state of mind and what she does to herself in service of The Calling#only to not simply backtrack but neutralize her fully…#yeesh#is it a coincidence m has barely spoken a word about svu on any press appearances this season?#well no because what is there to say really#this is not a landmark season and there are zero plans to move olivia forward#she’s right where we left her tune into nbc thursdays at 8pm eastern#BUT what makes me most sad is that this shift was a demand from the viewers#(again! i should know better! and yet!)#i am just. a little heartbroken to have it confirmed that much of the audience loves olivia on the condition that she is Good#not only because she very much isn't#but also because that is boring and dangerous and speaks to our deeply warped perception of what it means to be a complete person#more specifically a complete woman#yet the audience lets out a sigh of relief! saint olivia is back! she is a Strong Woman giving Lawfully Good advice! phew!#remember when she was a little broken and volatile and seeing ghosts don’t worry she’s fixed now :)#please note my reaction is certainly tied to other real life happenings including 11/5 looming#alas it’s where i am#anyways dw you’re a loser

220k words, as I suspected.
So much revision will be needed.

I will add chapters to the cohost periodically and link em still. This way maybe some of you can tell me what to take out for that ungodly wordcount. >.>
