Headcanon: An Introduction to William's War Friends

William had two friends that he made while training overseas during the war. They would later end up being his left and right hand men when he started shooting up the ranks.

-

Martin was a stout, cocky Scotsman with a face splattered with freckles. He had messy hair that couldn't decide if it wanted to be red or brown, and seemed to flip-flop depending on the weather. He was rowdy and had challenged the loud American to a fight. When Martin swiftly got pummelled, he accepted the loss with a laugh and declared William his friend.

Jean was a lean Frenchman with short, dark hair and sallow skin. He slipped into the group in an uneventful way, and the other troops were relieved to see the two trouble-makers would have someone to pull them back. Sadly, none of them noticed that Jean had a penchant for mischief and enabling his new friends. With how quickly they gelled, none would have been surprised if they had been long lost brothers.

The trio were compared to gasoline and wood meeting fire - a guarantee for disaster and headaches for everyone else in the camp. The trio were constantly causing trouble, finding amusement in everything and making a ruckus. Even William's friends were targets of their chaos through letters written in French that recounted fictional and strange events, or the time Martin sent a very long letter asking Mark to marry him, going into detail about how beautiful and elegant the wedding would be. He even ended it with "Oh, I guess your fiancée can come as a guest".

Strangely enough, over time, these exact same traits made them extremely popular in their brigade, likely since it served as a distraction to the doom awaiting them all. Their jokes, ridiculous tales, and general upbeat demeanour helped keep morale high.

What do you think about the suggestion in PSO that the Profound Darkness and the Great Light are of the same substance? It's obvious by now the Mags are channeling angels of the Great Light when you use a Photon Blast, but Mags were made using D-Cells extracted from Dark Falz. The Great Light is "good" and the Profound Darkness is "evil" simply because the Great Light won their ancient battle. Whatever the ancient entity that split into the Great Light and Profound Darkness was, it was an undifferentiated creature of D-Cells

I'm so sorry in advance but you asked me to yap about what I love yapping about

TLDR; as above so below. This follows what Rico said; "there cannot be light without darkness, a pair exists-", So YES it makes complete sense to me! (numbers explanation at the end)

To elaborate; Magic/spiritualism has fascinated me since about the age of 10. I've read about many religions from wicca, buddhism, hinduism, kemeticism (where my beliefs landed) hermeticism (young me would have fallen into this), and general abrahamic (studied as an attemt to understand the Falz seal) and in this order, throughout the 20 or so years.

Hermeticism originated in hellenestic Egypt (prior known as Kemet, but known at the time as the Ptolemaic Kingdom and includes greece) and was founded by a greek/egyptian, Hermes Trismagistus. Two of the major philosophies that go into hermeticism are theurgy (uniting with the divine, which this theme continues into episode 3) and alchemy (fuck around and find out) The meddling with D-Cells with both Dr. Montague creating mags, and Dr. Osto creating bio-weapons -to me- is an example of alchemy, while Photon is an established science.

So back to as above so below and light/dark alongside Hermeticism, the translation by Issac Newton of the Emerald Tablet is as follows;

Tis true without lying, certain and most true. That which is below is like that which is above and that which is above is like that which is below to do the miracle of one only thing. And as all things have been and arose from one by the mediation of one: so all things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation. The Sun is its father, the moon its mother-

And there are so many examples of duality. Spiritually we have yin & yang, 7 sins and their virtues, scientifically we have magnets. There's a lot of spiritualism in single numbers, they vary slightly by religion but I'm just going to try to go over them as briefly as possible with some examples since really only 0 - 2 apply to your question. In spell writing, numbers 1-4 are most used because, like, 6 and 8 are considered "perfections" of 3 & 4.

0. is nothingness 1. is basically god. Beginnings. (Sun, Sunday) Root, to have. 2. duality but also repetition, the subconcious and beginning. (Moon, Monday) Sacral, to feel

3. idk what the most simple explanation of this is so here's some examples; Father, Son Holy spirit. Salt, Mercury, Sulfer (body, mind, spirit) Cardinal, fixed, mutable. Muut Ditts Poumn. (some words I have written are perfection, growth, multiplacation, production) (Mercury, Tuesday) Solar plexus, to act. 4. Order, foundation. (Fire, air, earth, water. Senses when counting smell and taste as one since they both function off the olfactory system) (Venus, Wednesday) Heart, to love. 5. Center. (Mars, Thursday) Throat, to express 6. Harmony, interaction, perfection. (Jupiter, Friday) 3rd eye, to see 7. Balance, stability. Deadly sins. Chakras. Days of the week (Saturn, Saturday) Crown, to know. 8. Rhythm, justice, infinity. 9. Man.

The third aspect of Hermeticm is astology and the signs on Falz seal still get me and I still do not have an explanation but I do still try to make sense of it. Still a WIP.
