#IAU legend

[skyward-floored]

So merry Christmas I meant to write something but stuff has been happening and I forgot. But I did draw another Incredibles au thing, it’s that scene in the Incredibles where they’re all on the island (so sadly no Four 😔) and they all hug :]

Febuwhump Collab Day 4/27: Obedience/“You weren’t meant to be there”

This art belongs with @skyward-floored’s wonderful writing. Go read it right now here! :D!!!!

[agnoscoveteris-vestigiaflammae]

Okay this might mean nothing but…get your red string ready cause this is my Doctor Who S14/S1 theory masterpost

*Disclaimer in case of inaccuracies, I started writing this before Dot and Bubble was released and then I got busy and more things happened and now it's release day for The Legend of Ruby Sunday (which won’t be available to watch in my country until this evening) and I didn’t want it to go to waste so I finished it lol okay thanks* 

I’ve been thinking a lot about @waywardwes9 ’s theory regarding Ruby Sunday and other character names in this series of Doctor Who. So we’ve had Ruby SUNDAY, MUNDI (Monday) Flynn in episode three, and MARTI (Mardi/Martes/Tuesday/etc) Bridges in episode four, with dialogue bringing attention to the uniqueness/significance of each of their names. So when the casting list was released for episode five, ‘Dot and Bubble’, I couldn’t help but notice…Cooper Mercy, a slightly adjusted form of the words Mercury, or Mercredi (fr)/Miércoles (sp)/Mercoledì (it)/dydd Mercher (welsh)/etc. all of which means Wednesday!! So up until episode six, ‘Rogue’, this theory appeared to be holding up. It then became difficult to speculate further as we had little to no character backgrounds for these individuals and the cast lists for the remaining episodes are still incomplete but twice is a coincidence, four times is a pattern. 

Now we know that in the ancient Greco-Roman tradition, the days of the week were named after the sun, moon and planets which were in turn named after certain gods:

Monday - Moon - Selene/Luna

Tuesday - Mars - Ares/Mars

Wednesday - Mercury - Hermes/Mercurius

Thursday - Jupiter - Zeus/Jove

Friday - Venus - Aphrodite/Venus

Saturday - Saturn - Cronus/Saturnus

Sunday - Sun - Helios/Sol

Because of her surname, Ruby Sunday would be aligned with the Roman God ‘Sol Invictus’, who was considered the most supreme or important god for several decades of the mid to late Roman empire. So I decided to do a little research into this deity and found out that his feast day and the main festival dedicated to him, ‘Dies Natalis Solis Invicti’, occurred every year on December 25th… The day on which at the stroke of midnight, baby Ruby was discovered in a snowy churchyard, after being abandoned by her mysterious mother. This could just be a coincidence but it’s interesting nonetheless as it adds to the themes and theories regarding the “Pantheon of Discord” which includes godlike figures such as The Toymaker and Maestro. Could this suggest that Ruby is secretly a member of the Pantheon of gods? Or maybe she was created to be a pawn, a messiah-like figure, in their masterplan? Or maybe she’s a part of an antithetical pantheon of ‘good’ gods?

So returning to the characters named after weekdays, we may have expected a character with some variation of Thursday/Jeudi/Giovedì/dydd Iau/etc. as their name to appear in Rogue but unfortunately, there appeared to be nothing at all that would correlate to this theory… until people began to notice that the ring which Rogue uses to propose to The Doctor is emblazoned with The Caduceus, the staff of Hermes… also known as Mercurius or Mercury. 

It seems that our story has become stuck on Wednesday instead of continuing with the remaining weekdays, but why? Why could Wednesday or Mercury be significant?  Well gang, guess what the god Mercury is known as…

THIS IS HOW THE TRICKSTER TRUTHERS CAN STILL WIN !! Additionally, Rogue’s name originates from the DnD archetype, ‘Rogue’, who is regarded as ‘the trickster’. Very Inch Arresting. but we’ll return to the Trickster as ‘The One Who Waits’ theories a little later on.

The theory regarding The Caduceus can also play into the theory about Rogue possibly being an incarnation of The Master, or signalling the return of The Master. The Caduceus symbol, which can represent travel, thievery and mischief (which aligns with characteristics of The Rogue, The Trickster and The Master) is commonly mistaken or used in place of The Rod of Asclepius, which is used by healthcare organisations as it represents healing, care and the duties of doctors (which obviously aligns with The Doctor). 

These antithetical yet similar symbols could easily represent the Doctor and The Master and their shared past and turbulent relationship, or alternatively could represent the theme that things that appear too good to be true usually are, but who knows.

Now if you’ve made it this far, stay with me for this part because we’re about to get even more delulu, but I promise we’ll come back around into more plausible theory territory very soon. 

So with all this attention being drawn to character names, I decided to do some further research into the names of the characters named after days of the week and found something interesting. In the case of Mundi Flynn, we can presume Mundi is intended to mean Monday but Flynn actually means…Red or ruddy/reddish, which would make her name Monday Red… or Red Monday… just like Ruby Sunday. This got me extremely excited…until…I couldn’t find any connections to the colour red within Marti’s surname ‘Bridges’. However… Marti is named after Mars, which is known as… The Red Planet! Which would still make her first name Red Tuesday, or even Ruby Tuesday just like the famous song by the Rolling Stones. Now That is a stretch but we persist nonetheless by going even deeper into delusional valley with Dot and Bubble’s character: Cooper Mercy, Cooper…an uncommon name that is very close to the word ‘Copper’.. another shade of red, making her Wednesday Red/Ruby Wednesday. Also worthy to note that the character Cooper had red hair, which was a purposeful choice as it is not the actor’s natural hair colour. Okay, last one… while there doesn’t appear to be any weekday names mentioned in Rogue, (as we seem to be stuck on Wednesday) I couldn’t help but notice that ‘Rogue’ is an anagram of Rouge… the french word for red. Listen, either this all actually connects or RTD has quite literally been sprinkling RED herrings throughout the narrative. So what could this mean? Personally, this kind of repetitive naming convention reminds me of a dream-like logic or storytelling convention centred around Ruby,  which could play into everyone’s TV show/fairytale/dream theories (which are too expansive to get into and I don’t have much to add).

*I’ve heard that the Identity of Susan Twist has been revealed in today’s episode but thankfully I haven’t seen any spoilers yet so just ignore this if it’s completely off the wall lol*

However, this could also link to the idea of Susan Twist as a show director or writer, making cameos throughout her own work. In this light, she could be considered The Storyteller… TS… but if you physically twist the initials around…ST… Susan Twist.  

Then, there is of course the theory that Susan Twist is a physical manifestation of the Tardis. Particularly because in The Legend of Ruby Sunday she has been listed as Susan Triad, S.Triad, an anagram of Tardis. Could it be that the tardis is broken down or malfunctioning and is creating these scenarios to keep itself, the Doctor and Ruby entertained? I guess I’ll find out tonight hehe.

Okay getting back to The Trickster theory. By now most people have probably seen other posts that show that Ruby’s musical theme is almost identical to The Trickster’s theme from SJA, that the Doctor invoking a superstition at the edge of the universe could have brought back the Trickster,  that RTD could be using Ruby as a replacement for Sky from SJA, the baby that Sarah Jane discovered abandoned on her doorstep and adopted, who was originally supposed to be revealed as a child of the Trickster and a trap for Sarah Jane, and as well ofc that the hooded figure that drops baby Ruby off obviously resembles The Trickster. 

But another thing I can’t stop thinking about is the theme of the fragility of memory and existence that has been popping up throughout this series, particularly in the first few episodes, and how this correlates to the powers of The Trickster. In Space Babies, we see how the doctor’s memories of the night of Ruby’s birth are manipulated in real time to show him something totally different. In 73 Yards, we see how the Doctor is zapped out of existence, and then brought back through a future-past paradox. In several episodes we see the blurring of reality, the past and fiction with events such as the snow from Ruby Road appearing in places where present day Ruby is. We see on two occasions how history is changed by the simplest of actions such as stepping on a butterfly or a fairy circle. And of course in 73 Yards we hear Kate’s cryptic “This timeline is suspended along your event” line. All of these elements appear to correspond with the Trickster’s powers of time and memory manipulation as demonstrated in SJA, to the point that I’m actually gonna be disappointed if all this build up doesn’t result in an appearance from everyone’s fav SJA villain lol. 

Another thing to consider is The Doctor’s continuous references to the sea constantly getting closer to the land such as the “Everywhere is a beach eventually.” line from episode three and the “The war between the land and the sea” comment in episode four, the latter of which could of course just be a nod to the forthcoming dw spin-off series of the same name… or… could in fact be a reference to ‘the one who waits’. The last time the Trickster was defeated he was locked up in a box and thrown into the ocean, where he could be waiting patiently to return to the shore, to claim what he wants. Could this also be linked to Mrs FLOOD, whose water-related name may suggest that she is the one who waits for the oncoming flood. Who knows ! I’m just throwing things at the red string board and hoping something sticks. 

Okay that’s all for my crazy wacky wild bananas bonkers theories today. Can’t wait to see how many of these are disproven in approximately one hour lmaoooo. If you made it this far, I commend ur patience <3

[lmaster37]

When you were a child, you entered the temples of Stars and swore your life away.

Twelve long years you spent in Wiagsun, bringing offerings to Meissa, offering worship to Itonda, worshipping without cease Nenque and Tonatiuh. Your devotion you gave to Alcor: the fainter twin, overshadowed by luminous Mizar, ever steadfast and loyal.

Alcor was that which guided your hands as you healed your first scraped knees—which guided your mouth as it spoke prayers and gave thanks—which sealed closed flesh and replenished blood, strengthened bone, coaxed tissue.

It was merely the physical you could heal, of course, but it was enough. For twelve years, it was enough.

When the thirteenth spring of your life in Wiagsun drew to a close, Alcor's chosen Arundhati came to you and laid upon you a holy charge, and not a week passed ere the party of taskfolk arrived and received you into their number.

They were an eccentric bunch, but Alcor had acted well to place you with them. Wiagsun had begun to stifle rather than embrace you; now, you travelled the breadth of the continent. Here you were not a foundling or an acolyte. Here you were Starsworn.

---

Of course, removed from the temples, your skills no longer sufficed.

It was Lífthrasir's death which first revealed your lack; physical survival you easily ensured, but he could no longer tread the path to Hoddmímis, erasing centuries of mastery in an instant. In the end, it was a hordeling that felled him.

Anansewa was abandoned by her colony as her thread was severed. Yosoji's prayers for guidance went unanswered and he withered away.

In the end, it was only you and Occia. Wiagsun had long since fallen before the onslaught; the gods had retreated to the Temple of Vesta, cowering within as Occia alone stood guard.

Her death, at least, came quick. The last Vestal did not see the flame extinguished: it was only when you gently shut her eyes, hunched over her body becoming still, that Vesta's hearth grew cold.

And then, you were alone.

For the first time in fifteen years, you are alone.

---

Behind you, Vesta's temple gives in at last, yielding with a sigh of grinding stone and shattered glass. You're glad that this, at least, dies quietly. You are tired of screams.

Unthinkingly, your heart stretches itself towards Alcor, and finds—

Nothing.

The gods had fled to Vesta's temple. There is nothing left to believe in.

So nothing you must embrace.

---

The sky above the onslaught is emptied.

All the Stars have gone. The Sun set hours ago; no Moon ever rose.

You, too, are emptied. You reach, again, desperately, for the god you've loved for fifteen years—you howl your wrath into the black night—and nothing answers.

Its silence is deafening as it curls around your ribs. You are emptied: you become more empty still. It is the absence of warmth—the failure of light—your faith collapsing inward.

No sound escapes you as you struggle to your feet, leaving behind the ruins of all. It matters not that your shattered legs ought not to carry you, nor that the blackness set before you is absolute.

Your hatred fails you. Instead, you become hunger.

---

You tear through them with absent claw, drink down blood, bite out throats, silence screams.

You have no need for sight. Hunger drives you forward, devouring all that remains.

It is not revenge that you seek, of course. Your ribcage is a hollow thing. You are hunger made manifest: your heart was first to go.

It does not matter that, before you were hunger, you disdained the onslaught. They are all that still is.

You are the starving of the world.

---

And the world is empty, and becoming emptier, and still you are hunger.

Nothing remains but the emptiness of you.

You turn your teeth upon yourself—

You, devouring, are consumed—

And the world is empty.

You were the healer—the last light of your party. But now your final ally dies in your arms, and there’s no one left to save. The enemy jeers, calling you useless. You look up, eyes hollow and black. The light is gone. The Void answers. You're no longer a cleric. You're something far worse.

Cwmwl Tystion III / Empathy

Tomos Williams sy'n dweud mwy am brosiect Cwmwl Tystion a'r hyn sy'n aros amdanoch ddiwedd Mai!

Cyfuniad o alawon gwerin a jazz gwreiddiol sydd i'w ddisgwyl yn Cwmwl Tystion III / Empathy. Dwi wir yn gyffrous i rannu'r llwyfan gyda dwy o leisiau ifanc mwya' creadigol a pwerus Cymru yn Pontio sef Mared Williams ac Eädyth Crawford. Ma' lleisiau'r ddwy ohonyn nhw yn bwerus iawn, a ma' nhw'n rhoi cymaint o'i personoliaeth i bob cân.

Ma Melvin Gibbs yn gawr ar y bas. Mae'n dod draw o Brooklyn, Efrog Newydd yn unswydd ar gyfer y daith yma, a galla i ddim cweit credu ei fod wedi cytuno i deithio Cymru fel rhan o 'Cwmwl Tystion III / Empathy'. Ma fe wir yn 'legend' o fewn sîn cerddorol Efrog Newydd ac yn ehangach. Roedd yn faswr gyda band Henry Rollins nôl yn y 90au pan oedd y band yna yn chware holl wyliau mawr Prydain fel Glastonbury a Reading ar y pryd, ond mae e' hefyd wedi chware gyda mawrion y byd jazz fel Ornette Coleman, Bill Frisell, Dave Douglas a John Zorn.

Ar hyn o bryd mae'n aelod o driawd o'r enw 'Harriet Tubman' – power trio, neu avant-rock trio (sy’n cynnwys, gitâr, bâs a dryms yn unig) ac yn cael ei ystyried yn un o fandiau gorau'r byd. Yn wir roedd cerddoriaeth trwm y band yma yn ddylanwad mawr arna i pan nes i ddechrau meddwl am y prosiect 'Cwmwl Tystion' ac ysgrifennu jazz newydd oedd yn delio gyda'n hanes ni fel Cymry. Felly ma fe'n anhygoel i feddwl y bydd Melvin Gibbs yn dod draw i ymuno â'r band ac i deithio Cymru. Byddwch chi erioed wedi gweld na clywed baswr sy'n swnio cweit fel Melvin – ma fe'n defnyddio llu o bedalau electronig i greu sŵn hollol unigryw”.

Ma Nguyên Lê yn enedigol o Ffrainc ond â'i wreiddiau yn Vietnam. Ma fe'n 'monster' ar y gitâr ac yn fyd-enwog. Mae'n cael ei adnabod fel gitarydd 'world fusion' sydd wedi cyfuno dylanwadau o gerddoriaeth Vietnam â gitâr rock/trydanol fel Jimi Hendrix. Ma' fe'n virtuso llwyr ac yn athrylith. Dwi wedi ei weld yn fyw amryw o weithiau – yng Ngŵyl Jazz Aberhonddu ac yn Llundain a mae e’n berfformiwr unigryw. Mae ei unawdau yn mynd â chi i'r uchelfannau – “transcendental” fel bydde nhw'n gweud. Galla i ddim aros i glywed Nguyên yn cyfeilio i leisiau Mared ac Eädyth ac yna’n chware unawdau dros alawon gwerin Cymru. Bydd clywed y cyfuniad o alawon gwerin Cymru, jazz a cherddoriaeth byd yn ei ddwylo fe yn brofiad arbennig iawn.

Fel yr arfer byddaf i yn cyfansoddi gwaith newydd ar gyfer Cwmwl Tystion III – yr “Empathy Suite' – bydd yn cyfuno alawon gwerin Cymraeg, gyda jazz a roc, a byddaf yn cyfeirio at rhai digwyddiadau yn ein hanes fel cenedl: y Welsh Not, Streic y Glowyr, trychineb Aberfan a bydd y gerddoriaeth yn ymateb ac yn adlewyrchu'r digwyddiadau yma. Bydd Mark O'Connor yn ymuno ar y dryms gyda celf weledol fyw Simon Proffitt yn ategu at pob perfformiad. Ma'r elfen weledol yma wir yn bwysig i'r prosiect ac yn adio rhywbeth i'r perfformiadau byw.

Hwn bydd y drydedd a'r ola' yn fy nghyfres 'Cwmwl Tystion'. Teithiodd yr un gynta' Cwmwl Tystion / Witness nôl yn 2019 – cafodd CD ei ryddhau o'r daith yna yn 2021 a gafodd yr albym ei ddewis ar gyfer rhestr fer 'Albym Gymraeg Gorau'r flwyddyn'. Yna yn 2021 fe wnaeth yr ail bennod Cwmwl Tystion II / Riot! Fynd ar daith jyst wrth i'r cyfnod clo ddod i ben ar ddiwedd 2021. Cafodd CD o'r gerddoriaeth yna ei ryddhau y llynedd a cafodd y cyfansoddiad yna ei enwebu ar gyfer gwobr cyfansoddi Ivor Novello. Felly dyma'r drydedd a'r bennod ola'. Dwi'n teimlo y bydd 'trioleg' yn gweddu’n reit dda – mae pob band wedi bod yn hollol wahanol ar gyfer pob pennod. Ma Mark O'Connor ar y dryms a Simon Proffitt ar y celf weledol fyw wedi bod gyda fi ers y dechrau, a teithiodd Eädyth Crawford gyda Cwmwl Tystion II, ond heblaw am hynny mae aelodau'r band yn newid pob tro – sy’n arbennig o gyffrous ac yn cynnig cyfleodd i weithio gyda cherddorion arbennig iawn fel Melvin Gibbs a Nguyên Lê.

Bydd Cwmwl Tystion III / Empathy yn dechrau eu taith yn Pontio, Bangor ar nos Iau 30 Mai, 7.30pm. Bachwch docynnau ar pontio.co.uk

Cal de cursă lungă

Copilul meu se răzvrătește pentru că nu are iubire, pentru că nu primește iubire, nu i se oferă iubire, căldură, emoție. Prin urmare, refuz să mă forțez, să depun eforturi, să mă doară pentru că deja mă doare. Așadar, mă retrag în lumea cea familiară în care regăsesc alinare. Nu este un sentiment la fel de puternic și delicios precum iubirea, dar e mai bine decât nimic și decât durere. Lumea mea familiară sunt jocurile. Jocurile de scurtă durată (League of Legends, Valorant, Custom maps on WC3). Prefer jocuri scurte deoarece consider că este echitabil timpul petrecut și energia consumată (fizică, emoțională și psihică) cu ceea ce obțin (sens, atenție, plăcere). Totodată, dacă nu iau decizii bune, repercursiunile nu sunt de lungă durată (întotdeauna pot începe alt meci). Pe când, un joc de lungă durată necesită implicare, responsabilitate în acțiuni, dedicare; coroborate cu nesiguranța unui succes, nu pare a fi o alegere echitabilă. Mai mult de atât, un joc de lungă durată te schimbă. Și mi-e frică să mă schimb. La fel și în viață.

For the WIP ask game, Legend Sneaks Out?

I’m not terribly happy with this? It’s a continuation of something I’m writing for Peggy’s IAU, and it’s very much a WIP. This may change by the time it makes it into a whole post, if it ever does XD

* * *

Legend feels awful.

Physical agony aside, in the wake of being pretty short with his mother and worrying her so much, he feels like a pretty terrible son. His accomplishments as a hero suddenly feel a little less large, a little less important. He just wants to tell his mom that he’s sorry, that he’s alright.

And he tries, when she returns with a bed-headed Hyrule in tow. He opens his mouth to apologize, but Hyrule cuts him off.

“Don’t say anything, just let me work.”

Legend shuts his mouth. That’s just as well; somewhere in the few minutes he’d been sitting on the couch, the cushions seemed to have leeched his leftover strength. He can’t really even find it in him to argue with Hyrule. He just lays there.

The familiar warmth of Hyrule’s healing magic seeps into his body and chases away the awful, throbbing pain. He relaxes and sinks into it. He wants to thank Hyrule, but he’s too tired now. He’ll have to tell him later.

アイヌの星座

Not many still know of the traditional stars and constellations of the Ainu. 

These two are the primary references:-

A very old literally work, an Ainu dictionary dating to 1790s called Ezo Hougen Moshiogusa[蝦夷方言藻汐草] which featured many descriptions and records of Ainu constellations.

Dr. Tomio Sueoka compiled and compared the Ainu constellations in his books, one being Ainu no Hoshi(アイヌの星, 1979).

A group called ‘Astro Ninja Projects’ has taken up the endeavour to map, promote and make the Ainu traditions around stars and constellations more accessible and known. 

The Ainu constellations do not always correspond exactly to the 88 IAU constellations but the same are still used as a reference to pinpoint the former. There are some 100+ Ainu constellations including regional variations. And many of them overlap or are interpreted differently. [1]

First off, Ursa Major(which has the Big Dipper) is a bear with a long tail:-

Called the Siarasarus Kamuy Noka nociw[シアラサルｼ カムイ] it mostly corresponds quite exact to Ursa Major. (Can’t distinguish the text all that well but it seems to be using a small ‘ra’ whereas Ainu-museum dictionary writes siarasarus with a big ‘ra’ ラ)

Just as is:-

At first on seeing the Bow constellation I thought that it is Cassiopeia.

But apparently the Bow-shaped constellation is the Big Dipper itself. The tail part in fact. 

The Big Dipper can then be seen as a bow and arrow called as Ku nociw[クノチゥ] and Ay nociw[アイ ノチゥ]. (Ku is bow and Ay is arrow in Ainu; The second bubble seems to have a typo with no-u-chi-u instead of no-chi-u).

Cassiopeia on the other hand is called Yasya Noka nociw and is seen as two fishing boats.

Ursa Major’s the Big Dipper seems to have many, many variations in shape and names. Especially based on region and interpretation. Found at least 5 names for the big dipper in different places and finally from a FB post of Astro Ninja Projects there seem to be many, many more. 

According to Astro Ninja Projects, one name of the Big Dipper is Upopo Keta[ウポポ ケタ]. Upopo is commonly a traditional Ainu custom of song-dance in a circle. 

It is said that keta is apparently the word for star more commonly used in naming in Karafuto or Kuril; nociw too overall refers to constellations. Also of note is relation to patterns. 

The Big Dipper’s edge as known points to Polaris. The Polaris is called as Poro Nociw[ポロ ノチゥ], an important star. The Polaris is ‘fixed’ in the sky whereas the Big Dipper changes its position in night sky wrt Polaris. 

The Kamikawa Ainu apparently called the Big Dipper as Cinukarkur nociw[チ ヌカル クル ノチゥ] meaning ‘god is watching over’( 我ら見る神 ). Consequently in some regions the Polaris is called as Cinukar nociw[チヌカル ノチゥ].

As can be seen, the Bow and Arrow constellations are also parts of the Big Dipper called as Ku nociw[クノチゥ] = 弓星 and Ay nociw[アイ ノチゥ] = 矢星. 

With seasonal variations, the position of the Big Dipper is seen to change around the Polaris(which is fixed in the sky) and in fact a name differentiation occurs when there is change in position of lying face-down or face-up of the Big Dipper wrt Polaris between spring/summer and autumn/winter as:-

Standing:  Cinukarkur nociw チヌカルクル・ノチゥ

Face down:  Upsi Noka nociw  ウプシ・ノカ・ノチゥ 

Face up:  Kuttoka Noka nociw クットコ・ノカ・ノチゥ

Anyway,

Noda being Noda he....we get this *ahem*constellation of a チ ネノ アン ノチゥ(ci neno an nociw) ergo the constellation that looks like a *ahem*:-

Presumbly that is the middle of Virgo with Spica at the tip...

Anyway, it is the Horkew Kamuy no nociw:-

The Horkew Nociw[ホﾛケウノチゥ] has as it’s near equivalent the south constellation Virgo(mainly the star Spica)

The Horkew Kamuy apart from being the wolf and a very significant god of the Ainu has many legends around it few of which are very similar to Wilk himself.

TNO Watch: Eris

Helios on Eris– So, somehow in my accounting of the Transneptunians, I managed to overlook the biggest, most prolific of them all (however not the first to be discovered past Pluto!)- Eris! Now I can’t rightly finish off the archive without her, now can I? So without further ado, let me formally welcome back the most controversial dwarf planet back into the party! Gird your loins, y’all

The Astronomy– Eris is the most massive and second-largest (by volume) dwarf planet (and plutoid) known in the Solar System. Eris was discovered in January 2005, and in September 2006 it was named after Eris, the Greek goddess of strife and discord. Eris is the ninth most massive object directly orbiting the Sun, and the 16th most massive overall, because seven moons are more massive than all known dwarf planets. It is also the largest which has not yet been visited by a spacecraft. Eris was measured to be 2,326 ± 12 kilometers (1,445.3 ± 7.5 mi) in diameter. Eris’s mass is about 0.27% of the Earth mass, about 27% more than dwarf planet Pluto, although Pluto is slightly larger by volume.

Eris is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO) and a member of a high-eccentricity population known as the scattered disk. It has one known moon, Dysnomia. As of February 2016, its distance from the Sun was 96.3 astronomical units (1.441×1010 km; 8.95×109 mi), roughly three times that of Pluto. With the exception of some long-period comets, until 2018 VG18 was discovered on December 17, 2018, Eris and Dysnomia were the most distant known natural objects in the Solar System.[

Because Eris appeared to be larger than Pluto, NASA initially described it as the Solar System’s tenth planet. This, along with the prospect of other objects of similar size being discovered in the future, motivated the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to define the term planet for the first time. Under the IAU definition approved on August 24, 2006, Eris is a “dwarf planet”, along with objects such as Pluto, Ceres, Haumea and Makemake thereby reducing the number of known planets in the Solar System to eight, the same as before Pluto’s discovery in 1930. Observations of a stellar occultation by Eris in 2010 showed that its diameter was 2,326 ± 12 kilometers (1,445.3 ± 7.5 mi), very slightly less than Pluto, which was measured by New Horizons in July 2015.

The Myth– Eris is the Greek goddess of strife and discord. The most famous tale of Eris recounts her initiating the Trojan War by causing the Judgement of Paris. The goddesses Hera, Athena and Aphrodite had been invited along with the rest of Olympus to the forced wedding of Peleus and Thetis, who would become the parents of Achilles, but Eris had been snubbed because of her troublemaking inclinations.

She, therefore (as mentioned at the Kypria according to Proclus as part of a plan hatched by Zeus and Themis) tossed into the party the Apple of Discord, a golden apple inscribed Ancient Greek: τῇ καλλίστῃ, “For the most beautiful one”, or “To the Fairest One” – provoking the goddesses to begin quarreling about the appropriate recipient. The hapless Paris, Prince of Troy, was appointed to select the fairest by Zeus. The goddesses stripped naked to try to win Paris’s decision and also attempted to bribe him. Hera offered political power; Athena promised infinite wisdom; and Aphrodite tempted him with the most beautiful woman in the world: Helen, wife of Menelaus of Sparta. While Greek culture placed a greater emphasis on prowess and power, Paris chose to award the apple to Aphrodite, thereby dooming his city, which was destroyed in the war that ensued.

Another story of Eris includes Hera and the love of Polytekhnos and Aedon. They claimed to love each other more than Hera and Zeus were in love. This angered Hera, so she sent Eris to wreak discord upon them. Polytekhnos was finishing off a chariot board, and Aedon a web she had been weaving. Eris said to them, “Whosoever finishes thine task last shall have to present the other with a female servant!” Aedon won. But Polytekhnos was not happy by his defeat, so he came to Khelidon, Aedon’s sister, and raped her. He then disguised her as a slave, presenting her to Aedon. When Aedon discovered this was indeed her sister, she chopped up Polytekhnos’s son and fed him to Polytekhnos. The gods were not pleased, so they turned them all into birds.

Eris has been adopted as the patron deity of the modern Discordian religion, which was begun in the late 1950s by Gregory Hill and Kerry Wendell Thornley under the pen names of “Malaclypse the Younger” and “Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst”. The Discordian version of Eris is considerably lighter in comparison to the rather malevolent Graeco-Roman original, wherein she is depicted as a positive (albeit mischievous) force of chaotic creation.

A quote from the Principia Discordia, the first holy book of Discordianism, attempts to clear up the matter: One day Mal-2 consulted his Pineal Gland and asked Eris if She really created all of those terrible things. She told him that She had always liked the Old Greeks, but that they cannot be trusted with historical matters. “They were,” She added, “victims of indigestion, you know.” Suffice it to say that Eris is not hateful or malicious. But she is mischievous and does get a little bitchy at times.

The story of Eris being snubbed and indirectly starting the Trojan War is recorded in the Principia and is referred to as the Original Snub. The Principia Discordia states that her parents may be as described in Greek legend, or that she may be the daughter of Void. She is the Goddess of Disorder and Being, whereas her sister Aneris (called the equivalent of Harmonia by the Mythics of Harmonia) is the goddess of Order and Non-Being. Their brother is Spirituality.

Discordian Eris is looked upon as a foil to the preoccupation of western philosophy in attempting to find order in the chaos of reality, in prescribing order to be synonymous with truth. Discordian Eris teaches us that the only truth is chaos and that order and disorder are simply temporary filters applied to the lenses through which we view the chaos. This is known as the Aneristic Illusion.

Why She Matters– Okay, its no secret that Eris is fantastic and I love her. Yes, Eris is chaos, but you know what? So is life. You can try and plan and make things nice and neat, but then the Universe comes through like a toddler who just learned how to walk, hellbent on getting to the other side of the room- consequences be damned. Eris is that universal action. Make no mistake, she is a destroyer and lives for the battlefield, but she also loves to dance, finding the beat in the deaths of men clamoring to prove that they are right to unseen forces (but most of all, themselves). If Mars ever did drag, she would look like Eris (and you bet your ass there would be death drops and shablams like you’ve never seen before!)

When people (read: hecklers) try to come at me with proof that astrology works (but who don’t have their birth time handy for me to utterly eviscerate them) I point to Eris. I remember when she was discovered, and the excitement that her unveiling brought to all of us. And then I remember, quite vividly, the fallout from the IAU decision after she was named but then relegated to dwarf planet status. It was a repeat of the Judgement of Paris myth! She was snubbed, yet again, by the authority, and Pluto was caught up in the fallout as collateral damage just because she was bigger than him (men and size issues, amirite?). And the authority paid for it in the end! Even total luddites who don’t follow the whirling and twirling of the planets (dwarf or otherwise) have a strong opinion about the decision. It made people care about these crazy space rocks, which brings me great happiness.

We aren’t all running around fighting all the time in this modern age, so how do we look at Eris now? A primal force of chaos doesn’t really mesh with our modern sensibilities- or does it? One of the more enlightening views on Eris comes when we consider her in terms of Justice, especially against any kind of oppressive authority. This can be seen in almost every major social movement to demand better treatment, to deny an oppressive ruling class its ability to exploit those below it- Stonewall, May Day, Ferguson, Rodney King, The Arab Spring…. Hell, even the Boston Tea Party! Eris is that urge we feel to stand our ground and refuse to roll over to the bad guys. Eris is the urge to fight for our rights. Yes, it can get violent- but better short violence that changes things for the better than the long, slow violence of inaction. Far better to live boldly and bravely. More commonly though, Eris spurs us on to fight with our racist uncles on Facebook or send petty gifs in the group chats calling out our friends for being slutty… but like, in an endearing way. In fact you could solidly call Eris the Goddess of Shade. Hey, not every action can be a revolutionary one after all- sometimes you just want to get brunch with your girls.

Eris isnt just Chaos, by the way- she also represents Strife. More specifically, what you are striving for. What do you want out of this life? If you are lost, look to Eris and she can help you find your way when you’ve lost it. Mind you, you’ll be in for a HELL of a trip with her (more Thelma and Louise than Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas- That’s solidly Arawn territory) and you might not survive, but at least you’ll know!

Now, we all have all of these planets and asteroids SOMEWHERE in our chart, so in you is the seed of chaos- even the most holier-than-thou Libra. As with all of the Transneptunians, look at her house placement, not necessarily the sign, to see her effect. To find out where she shows up in your chart, go to astro.com, put in your birth details and in the extended options, all the way at the bottom of the next page, there will be a menu of additional objects. Under that is a blank space where you can enter the number 136199, for Eris. Once you have it entered, generate the chart! Where does Eris affect your life? Let us know in the comments below!

Image 1: A map of the United States (with Alaska and Hawaii as insets). The legend reads: “Is Pluto a planet?” with Blue meaning No; Purple meaning Sometimes; and Red meaning Yes. The entire map, except for Illinois and New Mexico, is colored Blue. Illinois is Red, and New Mexico is Purple.

Image 2: A block of text which reads:

You see, the IAU’s decision was considered a blow to the memory of Clyde Tombaugh, the man who discovered Pluto while working at an observatory in Las Cruces, New Mexico in 1930. He was New Mexico’s pride and that’s why the state decided to strike back: [bold text] the state’s House of Representatives voted that Pluto is a planet whenever it passes over New Mexico.
