Introducing: My Basiliadean Headcanons II

Ok... this is part II of my overthinking... (part I) it is so long, it is only for the strong with the brainrot

I gave some issues too much thought when writing my fics

5. Basiliade and romantic love This is quite an issue, when you dive into Basiliade for the ships lol.. so I thought about it damn lot So.. we see Orube is surprised at the huge role of romantic love in the lives of Earthlings.

We also know that Basiliade, at least in elite classes, is quite a strict society based on firm hierarchies, not very prone to attachment – as is seen in the memory of Orube's father (the guy is hot tho)

although the society might clearly favour other kinds of attachment and love – like that between master and apprentice (and Orube is also surprised the girls seem to put love before friendship sometimes). It is possible that romantic love is just not as important in the society - even on Earth it had a lesser role at times, than the extreme one it has now in the Western media. It can also be looked down upon, as drawing a person from more important spheres of life. When I wrote H/Y, I presumed their relationship would be secret - I joked on everyone actually having an inkling in the Garden, cause I thought the reality of such society is always different than the ideal - but generally I kept love as something you are not open about. Of course, H/Y are two males, so it might have appeared as an issue of homophobia - as it is common to presume homophobic tendencies for any made up world. My reasons for their secrecy and restraint were actually more complex, but I regrettably might not have made it very clear - although I have some, eh, WIPs mentioning hetero relations of warriors as problematic, too. Still, to add some self-reflection, I suppose including the secrecy might’ve felt natural to me, because I have the homophobic trope internalized like most people. But my reasons were 1) The society viewed as strict, non-individualistic and focusing on other spheres. Basiliade comes from the comics’s orientalistic tropes, so I think it is based on these classic patterns emphasized in Western portrayal of the Far East. Still, I keep thinking of a 17th century Chinese play that I have seen years ago, a story of two lovers divided by dramatic events and seeking each other - then meeting with all the drama, then a monk tells them their love means nothing - and they realize she is right and stop feeling the love. As a then ca. 15 yo European, I was shocked. Still I felt like - oh, yeah, the Far East, classic - bc I am a Westerner, like the authors of the comics. 2) Warrior lifestyle - I see masters as an icon of the strict society - they live for a task and they subordinate their personal desires to it. Note e.g. the hints of Orube's difficult and humbling training, her painful parting from her family, which refuses to acknowledge her pain, Yarr's self-diminishing after an apparent mistake etc. I mean, there's this:

but I think this refers to a bit of a different level - keeping your values, your identity, but not being self-centered. In a fic I also followed Orube's unfamiliarity with love and made Yarr a bit confused about his crush, although now I think that at his age (ca. 39 then), he might have had a better idea... but I also made it specific to his warrior life, that he is just not used to love, although he does know it from theatre - cause I think it might have a role, but it is problematic, unofficial, left for art, fringe culture, stories of old times and not the present. And definitely not for the daily life of masters. 3) For masters also the rank must play a role - and this could be extended to class in the general society. Strong hierarchies commonly build great barriers between people. Specifically H & Y in my story are divided by several years in duty, but much more by those two cursed years of them being master and apprentice, which, apparently, might connect and divide you at once, for life. Even in canon, it is interesting, how Y. keeps the custom of respect, when they meet, even though by now he may just as well have a rank much higher than H had, when he had left. Y. keeps this mostly formally, while they seem to speak quite equally at times, but it is there. H. was once his superior, and so he is forever. I hc that, generally, in such society, love over the borders of class would not be favoured, and for masters difference of rank would make the situation even more problematic, than it already is.

Still this all is based on the orientalistic trope - it is not impossible that some masters were quite unhinged and nobody cared.. or that, as I mentioned, the society had a certain facade, but inside everything was very different - I think I was using the latter idea mostly

Well but... these were my thoughts.. yours?

Some of my favorite W.I.T.C.H. moments are when the guardians abuse their powers. Cornelia getting all fed up and imprisoning Luba in tree branches that she grows in the middle of her room. Taranee setting random shit on fire and almost incinerating a human at one point. Will using her powers to sabotage people that she sees as threats to her personal happiness.

They are young girls who still are still trying to figure themselves out, but they are also practically goddesses. With their elemental powers, they are as beneficial as dangerous, and I appreciate every scene where we are reminded of this.

W.I.T.C.H. reboot, questions about the Guardians' families:

Will: what about her father? Also, will she get a younger brother here too?

Irma: is Anna her adopted mother as in the comic? If yes, will you address the mistery of Irma's birth mother?

Taranee: so... In the New Power arc it turned out she was adopted too, Fire came from the sky when Dark Mother's plants tried to murder her in the crib and the house was collateral damage so her parents had to give her up for adoption. Is she adopted here too? If yes and the circumstances are the same, will her birth parents appear? After all, Theresa kept tabs on them to let Taranee decide when the time came (she threw the information in the fire).

Cornelia: is her sister a magical Keeper here too?

Hay Lin: What's her relationship with her rich grandfather in Hong Kong?

Oh boy oh boy do the girls have a LOT of family drama in the comics!

Will - I think I lean toward liking her father in the Cartoon better than the Comic. Compared to the Comic's deadbeat with debts thing, I find the dynamic more interesting where he /does/ care about Will (and still cares about Susan as a person even if they're no longer in love), but he's just...... not really a Father.

Her getting a little brother may be in the stars, but it'll happen later. I /do/ have the opportunity to go past the cartoon's two seasons and adapt later Comic arcs, so I can have there be enough time pass where the little brother would appear. He is getting a different name though because the Will vs Will thing is going to drive me insane.

Irma - The fact that Anna is not her birth mother is sending me because they look EXACTLY alike. I'm not opposed to her being Irma's stepmom, but I might redesign her if I keep that plot. But yeah it wouldn't be a mystery, just that her birth mother died when Irma was little and her dad has since moved on and remarried.

Taranee - OH BOY. Okay so I'm liking the idea of her being adopted, but the Everything Else is a lot of drama. And the fact that her birth parents are actually confirmed alive in Canon but she doesn't want to meet them is interesting, especially with the whole fire thing being a magical cause.

While I won't keep the cause of the fire the same, having it be something mundane instead of connecting back.... would it be mean of me to kill off her birth parents? Just have the baby survive a fire. But we'd have Taranee finding out that her birth parents died in a fire and she has a breakdown wondering if her powers caused it. (in the end no, she didn't cause the fire. It was just one of the many normal ways a housefire can happen. Though perhaps her Magic is why she survived).

Cornelia - Lilian being the Heart of Earth is fucking hilarious to me so yeah I'm keeping it. Although this is entirely coincidence and not why Cornelia was chosen to be a Guardian because FUCK you Luba Corny's great actually!

Hay Lin - I actually don't know shit about the connection with the grandfather. I could roll in any direction with it.

30 DAYS OF WITCHVERSARY 2020

14. Favorite Basiliade inhabitant

😾 Luba 😾

I don't know if this counts, since for most of the time we see her, she's in any other planet besides her home one, but - the fact remains

Luba isn't really a good person just like anyone on Kandracar But I like what arc she goes through. We know from Orube's memories that she strick yet kind, and in her story revolving around girls, we see how predjedice can twist any kind of person, to the point where you stop seeing any good quality of them, but just horrible things they do to support their hateful beliefs

Maybe not a good person, but a good written character

[guardian-of-kandrakar]

30 Days of Witchversary-  Day 10 and 11

Favorite villain HQ

This week was my first in uni without internet so I’m here to catch up!

Totally ethereal

A Kandrakarian elder 

Let me take this chance to talk about Luba. I find this character so interesting for one main reason she had the balls to doubt Oracle! Good for her! Or not since it led to her death 😬

Anyways, I agree with her being against the Oracle's decision of giving the role of the Guardians to Earth teenagers but for different reasons, Luba thinks they shouldn't because they’re young and inexperienced but my reasoning is because teenagehood is already an age full of angst with enough worries and naivety, unprepared for this kind of responsability, so someone older, more experienced and trained would be way better like for example Orube.

[irmacornelia]

30 Days of WITCHversary - 19-27

Heres another dump of days!

Day 19 - Something small but unforgettable

The way they handled Cornelia and Caleb breaking up in the comic.

Ignoring later arc nonsense about Elyon/Caleb, I really like the way the fated soulmates trope gets subverted. They had passion, oh yes, they had so very much passion, but that is all they had, their relationship, upon reaching even ground and time to talk and actually spend non-working time together, destabilized. Caleb thought he was flirting with someone far older and became uncomfortable when he realized Cornelia’s age, Cornelia thought she’d have a Prince Charming who’d live on Earth with her in a happily ever after, Caleb loved Meridian and was too used to the way of the blade to ever be happy elsewhere, and Cornelia couldn’t ever be happy away from her home either. They tied it up well, and while I enjoy Cartoon!C/C, it was for the best.

Day 20 - Something you’d always come back to

WITCH in general? But if I had to choose, the 2nd season of the cartoon. It just... Speaks to me because of how cohesive the worldbuilding is. Its comfortable and well animated and I spent a frankly embarrassing amount of time rewatching the home-recorded vhs tapes of that season throughout my childhood. I can recite lines. Fear my power.

Day 21 - A memorable architectural design

Kandrakar. Its a classic, very WITCH-like. I actually tried to build it in minecraft once. I didn’t finish, but I really like how its all white and cloudy and on the surface looks like some stereotypical heaven but oh, how it isnt with any kind of analysis(See, the problem of Evil). The spikes on the tower show off that it has its darker side under the fluff.

Also I have a soft spot for indoor pools, runes, and marble. So theres that.

Day 22 - A wonderful pet

Napoleon! Both comic and cartoon Napoleon are good. Im a sucker for cats.

Have a doodle of a few Napoleons Ft. the probable design for tDoK!Napoleon

Day 23 - A magical item

So I think ill talk about the Seal Of Phobos. Just. What the shit?

In the cartoon, it opened portals- allowing people access to worlds that were closed off from the rest by a Veil. Then the Heart vored it and they got that power but heres the question- Why didn’t the guardians already have the power to do that? They are supposed to fix things considered dangerous enough for intervention by Kandrakar, why can’t they get into quarantined spaces where all the particularly dangerous things are? The plot hole eats at me.

In the comics its even more shaky and poorly elaborated but at least you can just say the Heart already had the power to let them Travel and when it ate it it just purified it instead of giving it a power it should already have.

Day 24 - A group shot

Heres a sketchy shot of the Four Dragons and Xin Jing

Day 25 - A minor character

Luba!!

I love angry cat grandma.

Day 26 - A fantasy people/race/species

WEs species has a whole lotta potential, I drew em a bunch, both the tDoK version and a more canon version

Heres a bunch of my ocs for that species

Day 27 - A personal headcanon

Just choose one? I have a lot

Ill go with the headcanon/small AU that Basalites have tails so Luba and her canonical tail can make more sense. 

[krchar]

Introducing: My Basiliadean headcanons I

I am so sorry, but I have a LOT of thoughts about this stuff. Why am I posting this???? Probably a wild nerdy urge to share my crap. Very not Basiliadean. I try to keep my HCs canon-conforming - that does not mean they are clearly truth or anything, only that they are mostly based on hints and gaps from the canon and that they are, to my mind, not denied by it. There is so much that I split it in two parts, because it looked so intimidating… especially the last one (in part II).. your thoughts are very welcome, people, if you have a similar brainrot.

So.. ehum.. my theories/headcanons.. so let's start with this:

1. Endarno might have entered Kandrakar before Himerish

In their shared backstory, it is clear that Endarno is considerably older than the apparently teenage Himerish - then the E. that we see in Kandrakar appears a little older, but not so much, so I think it is quite possible he went to Kandrakar for some reason not so long thereafter, and only later Himerish was invited, as well - maybe on Endarno's recommendation? ;) But he IS a little older, while Himerish did not grow very old in Basiliade, meaning he also left after not so long a time, so it is not clear. It might have been the other way around - or they also may have entered together as old bros :) I just used the former version in my fics..

(also i never noticed how funny Endarno's eyebrows are)

2. Basiliadeans live much longer than Earthlings This may be only a result of that classic timeline incoherence of the comics, but: Kandrakar is supposed to be ancient (of course, at the same time only as old as the Veil around Meridian, but that is another problem). While there were several Oracles, I always thought that Himerish was considerabely old himself. But apparently, when he returned home, his old boyfriend, I mean friend, was waiting there - older, but still alive. So, there are two options - either Himerish was actually relatively young (and forgot everything quickly - online friends suggested it was an influence of the position), or Basiliadeans live very long. (I chose a middle position for fics, where I let them live for several centuries.)

3. Himerish was actually not Yarr's master the way Luba was to Orube

Yarr calls Himerish master, and Ih-Shui refers to him as "your old master", when talking to Yarr. But I do not think that necessarily means they had the Orube - Luba relation. For one, I suppose you call any superior "master" in the Garden, as Yarr continued to do so even after the many years have passed. But my main reason for thinking this is Yarr's memory of their training combat - the thing is that they are both clearly adults of not so different age - although if you give Basiliadeans a longer life span, they can just age slowlier and the age gap could be greater than it seems to an Earthling like me - and they act, as if they did not actually know each other very well. We know that an individual training starts at an early age and we know that Luba trained Orube from her childhood and they had a close relationship. Yarr, on the other hand, is surprised that Himerish defeated him, while you would expect that at the point of knowing each other for maybe over 20 years, it would not have been so shocking. So, I think that they met only later in life, while Himerish had some unusually wise or what not stuff to teach him still, as an adult man (although, how old Yarr is, depends much on the art style.. I think he could be over 30 here, but in some frames he could be like, 25 or something..) Of course, this is quite fortunate for the ship, because you avoid the classic Obikin trouble of dating someone you raised from childhood hehe

4. Luba has been living between Kandrakar and Basiliade, training the "chosen ones"

This one is probably quite simple, but it makes sense, because what we know: 1) Luba trained Orube 2) Orube was trained in Basiliade at first (although she later moved to Kandrakar, but she specifically thinks of Luba in her memories of Basiliade) 3) After her very first appearance in the 3rd issue, Himerish mentions that Luba is thousands of years old. 4) I do not think that Orube would be that old tbh. -> so all this means Luba trained Orube in Basiliade, while she already has been working for Kandrakar for quite some time. She even might be wearing Kandrakarian suit in the picture there? At the same time, Orube is called a "chosen one" by a guard in Basiliade, after she tells them that she comes from Kandrakar - so, it is possible that Luba only came to Basiliade for very specific individuals to train them for the fortress.

Ok these were some of my ehum thoughts.. I'm going for part II, which is basically one very long essay, so long I had to make it shorter, cause even itself it transgressed tumblr limits.. but i cannot fight my urge

[doowlssleep]

little silly drawing because... well, when I think about this specific sort of their character dynamic more seriously than that, it makes me cry

[whippedcloudsofcream]

W.I.T.C.H. Issue #17

[veilchenjaeger]

Today's take of undefined temperature: The W.i.t.c.h. comics have an overarching narrative, and while it was obviously not planned out from the beginning, it is fairly coherent until the end of the Trial of the Oracle arc. Hear me out.

Here are the main arcs, summarised for your convenience with a focus on what I believe to be the narrative golden thread. (Disclaimer that I don't have the comics with me rn, they just got tattooed onto my brain tissue when I was 12. So feel free to correct me if I get anything Very Wrong.)

Twelve Portals arc. The girls are tossed into an ongoing intergalactic conflict and given immense magical powers with little to no guidance on how to deal with that. Since Kandrakar is not allowed to interfere with anything except through its guardians in matters that concern the general safety of the universe or its own interests, the girls have to make their own decisions.

Because they have a stake in the Meridian civil war, they join the side of the rebellion and help Elyon claim the throne. The barrier between worlds falls. While Kandrakar generally approves of this, it was highly unorthodox.

This comes back to bite them in the shape of Luba messing with the quasars to take the W.i.t.c.h. out. This leads to Nerissa's awakening.

Nerissa arc. Ho boi.

The W.i.t.c.h. uncover the disastrous story of the former guardians, which includes a straight-up murder within the group. Will struggles with the responsibility of carrying the heart, which got to Nerissa's head. The girls meet Kadma and find out that she and Halinor broke ties with Kandrakar completely over Cassidy's death, which the Oracle knew about and let happen due to the rule of non-interference.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how fucked up the Nerissa arc is? Thank you. Moving on.

There Are Three Arcs Happening At Once Things Just Keep Fucking Happening arc. In the wake of all of That [gestures at Nerissa], Taranee decides that Kandrakar messing with her bodily autonomy and "curing" her eyesight is the last straw. She doesn't want to be used without being able to make her own informed decisions anymore and quits.

She is replaced by Orube, Luba's mentee, who is less than thrilled about working with the girls she blames for Luba's death. Orube is incredibly loyal to Kandrakar and initially rejects anything that isn't straightforward compliance with its orders. The Oracle is however a pretty interesting character who appreciates some unorthodoxy, and thus sends her to Earth. I want to stress that Orube only goes along with that due to her sense of duty. She does not actually want it.

Arkhanta is fundamentally a filler plot, though Ari's grievances do add to the theme of Kandrakar being flawed, and Yua fits the autonomy theme. More importantly though, the Arkantha missions and life on Earth make Orube more open-minded. She comes to consider the W.i.t.c.h. her friends and mentors and learns that sometimes, listening to your enemies and helping them can make them your allies. (Orube Will Remember That.)

Taranee eventually re-joins the group, but makes it clear that she still isn't a fan of how Kandrakar treats them all like pawns.

Astral Drop sub-arc. HO BOI.

While all of that [gestures at the above] happens, the fully sentient clones the W.i.t.c.h. can produce to keep people from noticing they go on magic space missions decide that they would like to be more than mindless slaves, seeing that they are, again, fully sentient. They start messing with the W.i.t.c.h. and eventually run away.

This eventually results in Orube catching them, but intentionally letting them escape - because she has sympathy for their struggle for autonomy and is listening to her own sense of justice now instead of what others tell her is the right thing to do.

Kandrakar is in the end forced to let the Astral Drops live their own lives.

Simultaneous Sylla/Interpol Stuff sub-arc. HO. FUCKING. BOI.

This was set up in the first arc, with Interpol noticing how Elyon's family disappeared. Just wanna point that out.

Secret agents on Earth stalk a group of teenagers and get incredibly close to discovering that magic is a whole real thing and these teenagers are overpowered intergalactic guardians.

Will's Astral Drop ends up in a Gordian Knot of a situation where multiple people are pointing guns at each other and the people present are all about to discover Kandrakar's existence.

This scene is such a dead end that the Oracle himself autonomously decides he has to step in and interfere.

He does so by warping reality, gives a banger of a speech that directly references Euripides' Medea and comments on the trope of Deus Ex Machina, and deletes the secret agent people's memories. This is my favourite scene in the entire comic. They did not have to go that hard, but they sure did.

I think we're done with the Clusterfuck Arc now. Moving on.

Trial of the Oracle arc. The HO BOI levels are off the charts.

Turns out that becoming the Deus Ex Machina comes back to bite the Oracle, because he is not allowed to interfere and this can get him fired.

Phobos takes advantage of this and other inherent flaws of Kandrakar's system, plays the entire centre of the universe like a cheap kazoo, and manages instantly to get himself elected Oracle. This gives him near-absolute power over the entire universe. No one is able to say anything against it.

This entire arc is about Kandrakar being really fucked up and really easy to infiltrate. It's the culmination of the previous arcs, which already pointed out a lot of flaws of this place, criticised the non-interference rule, and showed how little Kandrakar cares about people's opinions and feelings, even of those who are loyal to it.

The day is saved by the W.i.t.c.h.'s explicit refusal to comply with Kandrakar's orders, even before they know that Endarno is really Phobos. Because mindlessly following orders that you don't agree with is not good. That's the moral of the story here.

This whole mess results in changes being made to the core of Kandrakar's system. For example, it's not just one person having all the power now. The relationship of the Oracle to the guardians is changed as well, since the Oracle now understands what it means to be a small person tossed around by the universe.

And it's a goddamn tragedy that we never get to see the actual consequences of this change, because the quality of the comic rapidly deteriorates after this arc and the common thread of the narrative is partially dropped entirely and partially continued in incredibly lackluster ways.

Anyways, it's about control, it's about doing the right thing although it's not what you're told to do, it's about messed up governments, it's about free will, it's about rebellion, it's about things being more complicated than they seem. It's about learning for yourself, forming your own opinions, and being brave enough to make your own decisions. (And it always was - that's the core of the first arc, as well. This theme makes a lot of sense for a comic that is directed at teenagers, and it's not all that uncommon in teen media either afaik.)

Now, this is all very positive (bc I love this comic) and didn't go into the inconsistencies the first arcs of the comic do have (mostly bc I think they really, truly don't matter; it's a long-running comic that wasn't fully planned out in advance, minor plot holes just come with the medium), so let me go off at the later arcs of the comic under the cut.

What drives me insane is that the Ludmoore arc had the perfect set-up to continue this narrative. A former villain on probation? Who hates Kandrakar's guts and whose image of Kandrakar very much includes the guardians? Whose bodily autonomy is, again, compromised and who does all the fucked up shit he does in this arc not for power, but because he's homesick? Who fits the theme of control so ridiculously well, because he is always a pawn in someone's plan and, after freeing himself from one tyrant, relapses hard and ties himself to the very next one that comes along? Who interacts with Orube, who is not only deeply loyal to Kandrakar but could also pretty much be his direct narrative foil because they both have issues with emotions and making nuanced decisions for themselves? This FUCKS SEVERELY.

It could've paralleled the theme of autonomy present in the Cedric-Ludmoore relationship to Kandrakar again. It could've been the arc to paint an even more nuanced picture of our villains and point out that even this guy right there [points at Cedric] is worthy of basic respect. It could've leaned into the Cedric-Orube parallels way more than it did. It could've shown us literally anything about what's happening in Kandrakar now that they are, presumably, implementing reforms.

Instead, we get... a bunch of useless MacGuffins? A narratively completely inane Redemption Equals Death for Cedric? The sad, sad end of Orube's presence in this comic, which I don't even want to refer to as part of her arc because it has nothing to do with who she is? Don't get me wrong, I love the Ludmoore arc a lot and it has its strengths - Cedric's characterisation and his entanglement with Ludmoore are really good, as is Matt being dragged into magic bullshit - but considering how many details of this arc's premise play into the themes W.i.t.c.h. has followed since its first arc, the execution falls tragically short.

And then... hm. Then we get the Ragorlang arc, which was still somewhat solid, but also has very little to do with the overarching narrative anymore. And then, with New Power, it's only a matter of time until the entire narrative structure falls apart, the tone of the comic changes significantly, plots are recycled, narratives become much simpler and more black-or-white, and the comic appears to deliberately court a much younger audience.

What I'm saying is, the overarching narrative was abandoned at some point during the Ludmoore arc. Maybe it died with Phobos, maybe it died with Cedric, maybe it left with Orube. But it was there in the beginning, and it was good, and I wish we could have at least seen the Ludmoore arc told with the same effort.

[niko-ur-local-moron]

^THIS^

Soo we all remember when Will sees Matt for the first time and she falls in love with him in the comic version and everything is so sugary sweet (ugh), right?

Okaaay but WHY NONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE MANGA VERSION

First she bumps into him and then he catches her when she is about to fall (cute)

BUUUUT

Then later on, he sAVES HER LIFE FROM THE FALLING LAMP (?)

It's just... More creative than in the comics QwQ

Haha also:

Fangirl SQUEAK

Annd

O o f

Ahhahaha who is Matt's girlfriend before Will in manga, you may never know, because the manga gets cancelled, so it's gonna leave you emotionally shattered lying on bed just like it did to me, HAH xD
