Concerning the Witch Cult and the Seal in Elior Forest;

So I watched through the episodes where Pandora and Regulus show up in Elior Forest, and Emilia is frozen, and had some wonders

First, Petelguese, when he takes the Witch Factor, apologizes to "Flugel-sama". But why Flugel? Remember, Flugel wasn't actually considered anyone great, and was only known because he planted a big tree and carved "Flugel was here" on it

Then there's also the Seal that the elves protect. Fortuna says that if the Seal is unlocked, the world will definitely end this time. But, at this time, who actually can destroy the world? Even looking at the Seal's colors and decorations, they befit Satella, who TRIED to destroy the world and was partially successful.

The world will definitely end this time. There was a past attempt, and this was only ever done by Satella.

So I'm assuming the Seal is containing Satella. The key only appears to the one qualified to open it—and that's Emilia. The same identical half-elf that the Witch Cult believes is the perfect vessel for Satella; the vessel can open the door, and has the key, no one else. Methinks if Emilia opened the door, she might be possessed or become a martyr

Yeah, it's said that Satella was sealed beyond the Great Waterfall. BUT BUT BUT, REMEMBER, they consider beyond the Great Waterfall as THE SAME AS A PARALLEL WORLD. Yin magic can easily sever reality and space, and create a pocket dimension or open to a new reality, just by upgrading Shamak.

For example, remember Beatrice's Door Crossing? The Seal could easily just be the doorway to a pocket dimension like Shamak, and it would still be considered beyond the Great Waterfall.

What the Elves are guarding is the tomb of Satella. That's why the Witch Cult's docile faction helps out the Elves; the Witch Cult reveres Satella. The Elves hid Emilia from the Cult on purpose, but Petelguese found her anyway; and Petelguese sacrificed himself in an attempt to keep the Witch of Vainglory (Pandora) and the Archbishop of Greed (Regulus) away from Emilia. The docile faction definitely had a different goal from the radical faction, the latter which always chases Satella's vestiges.

Petelguese definitely knows something more about Flugel than "Yeah, he made a tree" because to the public knowledge of the Re:Zero world, Flugel is only a guy that grew a tree that happened to live long. It's only realized that Flugel is who the Sage Shaula actually refers to, by Subaru's party in the Pleiaides Watchtower; a place even the Sword Saint couldn't reach. As part of the Witch Cult, Petelguese probably knew a lot of the truth of Flugel and Satella, if he revered Flugel, knew the implications of an incompatible Witch Factor, and knew of the Seal.

Petelguese knows what happens if you take in an incompatible Witch Factor: some sort of insanity. Even Regulus warns him about knowing the price to pay, yet Petelguese still took the Witch Factor. Petelguese knows about Flugel, so he probably knows about the Witch of Envy VS Satella; whenever he refers to the Witch of Envy, he mainly says Satella. There might be parts where he says Witch of Envy, but he mainly says only Witch or Satella. Petelguese taking the incompatible Factor his own choice kind of parallels Satella's own incompability, that it brings the question: was Satella also forced to make a similar decision?

The Elves guard the Seal of the Witch of Envy. The Seal is technically beyond the Great Waterfall. Petelguese probably knew the truth, and Emilia's oddly the only person that can access the Seal's key; that's what I think.

Hello again, Tenno! Let's talk Easter Eggs! Specifically, Warframe DE Logo Easter Eggs! I just recently found the DE logo hidden in Duviri (quite by accident as I've done with all but the one hidden in the Zariman), and wanted to share screenshots of my findings!

But then it occurred to me, "gosh wouldn't it be cool and helpful if I compiled images to help people find all of the hidden DE logos?"

AND SO BELOW THE CUT ARE DIRECTIONS AND SCREENSHOTS TO DO JUST THAT!

Just to warn you: this is a long post since it's essentially a step-by-step for finding all the logos in all five areas!

Enjoy!

Welcome to Cetus! You're Landing Craft has just dropped you off onto the platform by the shore! See that cliff face off to your right? If you want to find the DE logo you need to go climb on top of that!

Yeah, in fact you need to go this far inland (to the rock I'm standing on)!

It's right here on the edge of this rock!

Next area!

Welcome to Fortuna (my favorite hub ♥)! Bask in the wonderful bisexual lighting!

When you are done basking jump on up here to this little balcony! It's the second balcony up (the third floor if you count the ground floor as the first one)!

The DE logo is hidden on side facing inward!

And onward we go!

Welcome to the Necralisk! It's a bit pustule-y and gooey but there is still some old Orokin architecture sticking out of the infested flesh-scape here and there! Like this pillar! Here - I'll throw my Xoris for you so you can see what I'm looking at!

Climb on up and - TADA! There it is! A nice and simple find! That can't really be said about the next one though.

Oh boy here we are...

The DE logo hidden in the Zariman - the one I struggled the most to find, I thought I had rubbed by face against every wall and structure, but apparently I had missed a spot. This is the only one I needed to look up to find. This is the elevator that leads out to the rest of the Zariman - where we do the Zariman missions.

I thought I had checked this area thoroughly enough but I think that disconnected wall panel always caused my angle coming out from the elevator to just miss it. See where I'm standing? Notice how it seems a little darker there? I certainly didn't.

There's an opening to - what would you call this - a maintenance port? Regardless, let's head in past the overgrown vines.

It leads into an elbow passage and into a little room.

Looks like another area one or more of the Zariman children used to hide. Of course, no area in the Zariman is complete without the ominous graffiti!

And right on the side of the box here is the logo! Even though I couldn't find this one without help I really enjoy the concept of them being a bit more hidden.

Like the last one!

I stumbled across this one by accident when I was in Captura gathering references of the mirror and portal frames for a Duviri-inspired piece I'm working on.

I happened to notice what looks like a window in the Kaithe's stable and totally expected the overgrowth to be a solid object when I jumped at it.

It wasn't. Queue shock and confusion. At first, I thought it was just a hole leading over to the plant area - a silly short cut. I walked in a little further.

No, this is an enclosed cave. A secret! A nice little den to hide in!

Wait that's-! WOAH I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEY WOULD HAVE A HIDDEN LOGO FOR THIS AREA! That's so cool and fun! I love this hiding spot for it! The perfect amount of context clues to make you suspicious and intrigued by the area if you are looking! This one was by far my favorite to find!

Anyways,

That's all of the DE logos (that I'm aware of)! I'm looking forward to the interesting places they will think to hide the next ones! Hope you enjoyed my guide (and the silly retelling of how I found the one in Teshin's Cave)!

Thanks for reading!

Il giorno dell’Angelo

Dunque, vediamo un po’ a che punto siamo con te. Sono decenni che ti seguo e ti guido paziente. Ti ho avuto in affidamento una trentina d’anni fa, secondo la vostra concezione limitata del tempo. Mi sei stato passato da un caro collega quando lui è stato premiato e promosso ad altro incarico di superiore responsabilità. Io ero e resto ancora solo un angelo alle prime armi. E con te ho di fatto imparato il mestiere: neppure noi “nasciamo imparati”, come dite voi, sai?

Forse è anche per questo mio goffo apprendistato sul campo, che te ne sono capitate parecchie. Ma in fondo te la sei cavata bene. Pochi punti sulla pelle. Tanti nell’anima. No, non ringraziarmi ancora, ché non è finita: vedrai che roba! Hai capito in qualche modo che ci sono, che cerco di tenerti a freno quando ti arrabbi. E di confortarti quando hai gli inevitabili momenti di scoraggiamento. Però sei testardo; hai quasi portato a compimento il tuo percorso.

Certo: nessuno sa qual è il chilometraggio che gli è stato assegnato, né quale sia la sua missione sulla Terra, il suo scopo primario nell’esistenza presente che gli è toccata. Hai capito sbattendo la testa più volte che c’è solo da usare il benedetto “libero arbitrio”, che altro non è se non scegliere la via più difficile e impegnativa. Sempre. Che poi è anche quella che ti farà tagliare le curve per accorciare il cammino dell’elevazione della tua anima - il tuo vero “io” - verso i piani superiori della scala evolutiva spirituale.

Certo: noi custodi vi guardiamo, da lassù e sorridiamo. O magari ci dispiacciamo degli sforzi che fate, delle lacrime di rabbia e delle fatiche fatte per conquistare traguardi in fondo futili, tutte cose caduche, che alla luce del tempo che passa valgono poco più di zero. Poi vi tradite, vi ingannate, vi odiate. Ma più spesso per fortuna ci stupite e ci commuovete con atti d’amore puro e disinteressato, con dolcezze inaspettate e infinite. Che spesso sono il frutto di scelte anche molto difficili, per voi. Vi ammiriamo, per queste cose.

Libero arbitrio. Un po’ vi invidiamo, perché a noi, senza un corpo che soffre, fragile, preda di influenze e bisognoso di continue cure, non è di conseguenza concesso provare emozioni forti, essere schiavi delle grandissime passioni che sono vostra croce e vostro privilegio. Per noi è tutto molto più diluito. Soffuso in una luce bianca benefica e morbida. Una sala d’attesa perenne, in pratica. Che poi il nostro grande desiderio di salire di grado è ciò che ci spinge infine a scendere sulla Terra, a incarnarci indossando a nostra volta dei corpi.

Opportuni mezzi per misurarci con cose vere e difficili, come la gestione dei rapporti tra esseri umani. Sappiamo bene che vivere è difficile. Per tutti. No, fidati: ognuno porta la croce che gli spetta, a seconda della propria posizione nel piano evolutivo concordato lassù prima di scendere. E per ciascuno c’è una fila di esistenze: lunga o breve. Alcune saranno necessariamente molto impegnative, altre cosiddette “di riposo” e altre ancora magari di utilità per altri esseri umani.

Perché soprattutto aiutare gli altri è ciò che fa bene all’anima. No, le esistenze terrene non avvengono in ordine “cronologico” come potreste immaginare: il tempo non si dispiega “in sequenza” come ve lo immaginate. Ma lasciamo perdere questo argomento, perché il tempo è impossibile da comprendere, per la natura umana. Oggi è per tutti un giorno uguale a ieri e sarà uguale anche domani. C’è molta sofferenza comune, in questo periodo sul pianeta blu.

Ciascuno rielabori intimamente e senza pregiudizi il messaggio portato dalle malatie e dalle soffrenze fisiche. Risulta evidente che qualcuno vi sta avvertendo: a livello individuale non è più possibile per nessuno pensare di essere “migliore” del suo vicino. Che si possa avere diritto a dei privilegi rispetto a un qualsiasi altro essere umano. O addirittura che l'uomo abbia su questo pianeta più diritti di esistenza di altre specie, che si possano sfruttare le risorse in modo scellerato, come avete fatto negli ultimi sessanta o settanta anni.

Nessun’anima è migliore o più degna di quella di un altro: ci sono solo miliardi di anime in marcia parallela verso la Luce. Ognuna soffre e fa esperienza secondo il proprio livello di spiritualità, evoluzione e comprensione delle leggi cosmiche. E le religioni dovrebbero servire poi a farvi amare, rispettare, aiutare; non a essere pretesto per le guerre e per l’accumulo di beni, alla fine tutti deperibili e totalmente inutili. “Le guerre non nascono perché la gente è religiosa, ma perché non lo è abbastanza.” (Enzo Biagi)

Comunque, tu: niente paura. Sono qui, ti sorveglio e ti sarò vicino. Sino al momento della tua prossima transizione. Perché, grazie a Dio, almeno tu sai con fiducia che non sei la carne che pure curi, bensì lo spirito che la abita. E poi continuerai il tuo viaggio in altra maniera. Avrò cura di te, perché dopotutto anche a me servono i… “contributi” per salire di grado! E tra l’altro anche se al momento indosso le ali, non mi è dato sapere se ho finito il mio ciclo di studi, di reincarnazioni sulla Terra. Per un po’ ancora, probabilmente anche per me quassù vale il “carpe diem”.

Sei tu il mio lavoro di oggi. Ma in passato, sai, ho avuto di peggio: cose che non posso dirti, per la legge sulla Privacy Eterna. Oggi che col freddo invernale non si può andare a fare un picnic o una gita al mare, guarda i link qui sotto e rifletti. Roba vecchia? Ti ricordo che il tempo non esiste, che il male è connaturato alla natura umana. E che tutti noi svolgiamo un’enorme, lunga e molto complessa recita. Senza il male, non riconoscereste quanto può essere importante una carezza o un segno d’approvazione, un aiuto. O un bacio appassionato. Buona riflessione.

There can be no better way of knowing In a world beyond controlling Are you gonna deny the savior In front of your eyes? Stare into the night

Daccapri Dante WIP I've been sitting on for a while

Okayyyy Dante and Daccapri. Where to fucking start? (oc notes undercut)

Already breezed over the general gist of how they meet but let's run it back:

Direct descendant of some important demon that inherited all of their predecessor's problems

Left with almost zero knowledge aside from hearsay about said demon

Lack of a proper childhood making way for an insanely rough and troubled upbringing

Resentful of paternal figure. Reverent of maternal figure.

Daccapri also uses an alias when dealing with human affairs

"You don't look like an Alice" "Funny. You don't look like a Tony."

She first approaches his office under the guise of merely being a mentee of Morrison and helps deal with bills

(In my perfect world Daccapri meets Dante specifically around the '07 Anime)

Dante doesn't really think much of her

On going in-joke of her shaking them thangs to get out of paying a pizza tab or distracting the IRS agent

Important to note that Dante doesn't pay her, she helps out financially just because which immediately lets him know there's something more to her that she isn't telling him

She has like,,, her own little side hustle as an informant outside of DMC. She isn’t attached at his hip I need to add

She’s kept at arm’s length. Daccapri’s just there to be nosy and keep tabs on him for her bosses. So she really dgaf

They're like. hmmm how to put this in a way that doesn't get me hit with hammers...

If I said they’re like Travis/Sylvia NMH would you get mad?

Dante and Daccapri's relationship is mostly just like that one work friend you're close with, but not close enough to meet outside of work. But you still make up hypothetical plans regardless

Daccapri is not capable of getting mad, but Dante makes her crash tf out.

They both desperately want for a more intimate connection (not just sex, I'm talking emotions baby) but clearly refuse to let the other in

so its very "on a need to know basis" and they just never discuss anything bc they don’t think the other person needs to know

Always differing ideas of what the other should be doing or acting like, always a performance, rarely are they genuine with each other

It doesn't help that they’re both also technically the other's boss.

"I've got a better idea! Why don't I call someone whose job it is to fix it? You know why? Because when I need a job done, I get someone with a job to do that job!" "What are you saying?"

A little bit of infantilization on his end cause Dante, bless his heart, thinks she’s a bad little thing mixed in with the wrong crowd.

Which is stupid. She owns a firearm and knows how to confuse a government agent.

toxic? a little. unhealthy? absolutely. dysfunctional? yuh baby. frustrating in an entirely separate way than what Daccapri/Nero is

(Also yeah before you ask they've totally fucked. daccapri has been passed around that office like a blunt. but this isn't about that rn.)

Proximity Crush!! Not really cause they wish to pursue the other; rather they’re just together so often so they link up. It’s as shrimple as that

They mistake the feeling of familiarity for the presence of romantic love. Two very broken ppl I fear

Messy by Lola Young makes me think of them

Anywho-- despite all of that they do enjoy the company of each other. And once Daccapri begins her Public Safety stuff in Fortuna; they have a much better rapport with the other.

Other ongoing joke is that Daccapri eventually ends up owning half to majority of the business after like 20+ yrs of topping off bills to keep out of the red. How nice of him to make her a partner in his business that just barely pulls in enough to break even every year. ah so kind! so charitable! so thoughtful!

he still doesn't pay her after that either

Dante definitely finds out she’s part devil after he meets Lucia and she’s like "hey so I need your help finding Arius' daughter" and he’s like “haha ok sure what’s she look like?” And it’s like ahhh my hot sexy assistant is the daughter of a megalomaniac sorcerer hellbent on resurrecting an ancient demon and may or may not be planning to do the same thing. But in his defense he did suspect something was up, just not that specifically.

Extras

No I don’t think Daccapri explicitly tells anyone her age (500+ yrs old) except perhaps Nero after their divorce arc

Ermmm… I have scent marking notes but.

Think of it like Giving each devil a sort of fingerprint for their magic/powers. Like a ballistic fingerprint. And we will put a pin in this for later.

Daccapri's weird blood thing does trigger around him and its why she's incredibly irritable around him

Unlike with Nero, there is simply no way for her dominate him in any unconventional way to soothe her beast

She could fight him, but it'd give away her identity which is no bueno

so instead she just gets black out drunk and smokes cigars! yayyy we love healthy coping mechanisms (girl dinner!)

she would not vape. she sucking on cigars cause the appeal for her is the bad taste

Dante makes fun of her having an old timey smoking pipe

He doesn't really have a reaction other than like a momentary "aw" when Abernathy begins dressing more masculine cause it means no more little black dress

Erm they could be a power couple if they actually spoke about their feelings but that’s an insanely rare occurrence for both of them ☝️🤓

Which is ultimately why she ends up hanging around Nero. The emotional maturity arc is a very grounding experience and one necessary for a stable and healthy relationship platonic or otherwise.

A taste of mundane normalcy

i also think that nero may indulge in her violent tendencies a bit more than dante bc she targets corrupt old white men and nero thinks thats super punk rock (it makes his fat wife wet as hell that daccapri is so committed to their family that she would act crazy. and that gets him going too)

whoa who said that?

Could I make their relationship normal? Yeah. But it’s more fun to write them as messy humans cause why not. It also makes the dinero fic funnier so there’s that too.

If you read this far, thanks!

"Because I want to be one with you — you finally noticed the wish that I'd been praying for!"

Sirius’ outfit is a wedding dress / wedding themed! I made this her motif because of her obsession with Petelgeuse and because of the whole ‘becoming one’ thing reminding me of marriage / wedding vows, stuff like that. I didn’t know whether to incorporate her bandages or not, and in the end decided against it + opted to just cover as much of her bare skin as possible like with the veil, sleeves, and purple fabric above the shoulders. I gave her a spiked collar and spiky halo-like hairpiece + put her hair in a ponytail (maybe that’s a little hard to tell ahaha) to give her kinda punkish elements to her, twisting the ‘purity’ of the wedding theme a bit to subtly reflect her instability (and because it looks cool). I didn’t want her to just have a regular old wedding dress cause I thought it would look kind of bland compared to the other magi designs, so I added some fire elements to her dress that I think turned out really well :) . I also had the genius idea to make her hooks double as weaponized wedding rings to go with the outfit’s aesthetic. Her hooks are connected together to also symbolize ‘becoming one’ / the unity of marriage, that sort of thing.

The authority from a wish doc says that her wish was for love / believes love is to become one, so her wish would grant her ‘soul-washing’ powers. Her abilities make her extremely dangerous to other magi…
