I can't believe that it's Mark using greek mythology references in iswm that's gonna drag me back to long-theory-crafting on Tumblr

I don't know how deep in mythological references this might be, but just in case, here's some fun (and fucked up) facts about those gods:
(A warning, some things are a bit messed up, it's greek mythology after all.)
1. Ouranos, Kronos and Zeus have a very "parental betrayal with a bit of prophesizing" story. Zeus is Kronos' son, and Kronos is Ouranos' son.
Kronos castrated Ouranos because he was jealous of his power, and after some time Zeus locked him away (together with all other Titans) in Tartarus (with the help of his siblings... that Kronos that swallowed). Some extra interesting things about this story: - Gaia (goddess and personification of Earth; Kronos' and Ouranos' mother... Don't ask-) was the one that helped both Kronos and Zeus to dethrone their fathers by giving them weapons/power. - Kronos only swallowed his kids because Gaia and Ouranos told him he would be overthrown by his children, just like he did with his father (in a very prophecy-like way). - There's an alternative ending for this story, in which Kronos was locked away not in Tartatus, but in a cave that belonged to Nyx, the goddess and personification of the Night. (Might be possible that Ouranos actually symbolizes the Entity, while Kronos is Actor Mark. Highly unlikely, but if the case, then that could mean Y/N (or even Dark) are possibly Zeus and we're just going on a loop of overthrowing someone previously in a position of power. Or at least trying to.) 2. When the affair between Aphrodite and Ares was found out, Aphrodite's husband locked Ares away so he wouldn't mess with his wife anymore. And, surprisingly, it was Poseidon who helped his brother out by paying for his freedom. (This could basically be a nod towards the good relationship that Will and Damien had - and apparently still have.)
There's some stories talking about Aphrodite and her husband moving on eventually, with both marrying other people - in Aphrodite's case, Ares. 3. Hermes had (still has, in some way) quite a bit of messy worshipping, which people assimilating him to different "domains". Between the various things people saw his as, one worth nothing is as the god of boundaries. He's also believed to be a shepherd (guiding mortal souls to the afterlife) and is seen as the protector of travelers, thieves and heralds. (I cannot think of anyone that could directly symbolize him, honestly. Maybe I'm missing something. There's also a part of Hermes' story about him as a thief, trickster and even merchant, which may or may not be relevant for this. Could Hermes be a symbol for the Bandit or Wug?) [On an ending note, I'm 100% sure most of this greek knowledge won't count for this, I'm just being a mythology nerd lol. But it is interesting the choice for this, especially since greek mythology is full of betrayal and "I want to take your power" type of narratives. Especially between friends/family.]
Okay so this is just speculation, but could the seven gods be the seven planets, aka the Greek god names in the trailers corresponding to a planet (Aphrodite = Venus, Poseidon = Neptune, etc) with then "time" referencing Chronos aka the planet Saturn? And then alignment referencing a particular alignment of planets? Possibly?
So this is what I'm thinking, based on the codes so far. We know the code says "Seven Gods Align. The Lock Hides in Time. A key Formed from their union." I think that it's very possible that those seven gods both represent the seven planets (besides earth and pluto :( ) in our solar system AND seven major characters from Markiplier lore that are at play in Space.
Aphrodite (aka Venus) = Celine. So I think Aphrodite represents Celine because Aphrodite is the goddess of love and passion. She's desired by many, and literal wars have been fought because of her beauty...sounds an awful lot like our conflict between Will and Mark over Celine, doesn't it? And besides that, Aphrodite is married to Hephaestus, the god of smithing, but she frequently has affairs with...
Ares (aka Mars) = Wilford. Wilford Warfstache, aka the Colonel. It makes sense that a man who is prone to violent outbursts and kills frequently would be represented by the god of war, especially when you remember that Ares has an affair with Aphrodite, and Wilford, back when he was still the Colonel, had an affair with Celine.
Poseidon (aka Neptune) = Damien. I think Damien is represented by Poseidon for a few reasons. For one, Poseidon is the god of the sea, and in the video Damien, Damien taking control back from Celine and letting her rest is represented by the frozen landscape that Celine created melting away. And also, like the ocean itself, Damien is someone who can seem very calm and put together at first, but when he does get angry...hoo boy. Get ready for the waves.
Hermes (aka Mercury) = Abe. This one was a little trickier to figure out, but I think ultimately Abe fits as Hermes because Hermes is the god of messengers. And the entire reason that Abe was invited to the manor party in the first place is that Mark wanted a witness to the events of that night, originally so he could ruin William's life before taking his body. Before the plan went wrong, he was meant to be the one that spread Mark's message that William was a killer. And speaking of Mark...
Zeus (aka Jupiter) = Mark. Actor Mark, to be specific. Zeus is the king of the gods, the one who rules over the entire world and has domain over the sky. While it'd make sense for Mark to maybe Hephaestus to complete our affair metaphor from earlier, Hephaestus doesn't correspond to any planets the way Zeus/Jupiter does. Plus, this whole world is technically Actor Mark's domain, his world of stories, so of course he's representing himself by the most powerful God in the pantheon, right? Well, almost.
Kronos (aka Saturn) is not a god, he's a Titan. Specifically, the titan of Time. What character could that relate to? Well, that's harder to pin down. It could be the wkm House specifically, or whatever Entity resides in the house. We know that in that place, things like death, space, and time do not mean the same things that they do in the rest of the world, and Mark has said in the past that both literally and diagetically, all the stories he's telling post-Damien are stories that take place Inside the House, which is both a metaphor for our IRL Mark's imagination and Textually Fueled by Actor Mark's imagination. Kronos could also be Lady, as she is something of a Keeper of Timelines for the U.S.A., and does a fair amount of universe hopping and time traveling herself in ISWM. Either way, all this leaves one very important character Left.
Ouranos (aka Uranus). Ouranos is not a god either, nor is he a Titan. He's a primordial, something that came before all the others, and he both represents and is literally the sky. What character could be represented by such an old and powerful being? Well, I think....it's Us. The Captain. The District Attorney. Y/N. Whatever you want to call them, the Viewer is a character in this universe, and it's important to never forget that. And not only are we a character, but we're a character who is technically above every other character in terms of power, in that we are outside of the narrative entirely, just like Ouranos is outside of the structure of the rest of the pantheon. (really there are two versions of the Viewer, the in-universe version and Us, the outside-the-universe version...I don't think the in-universe version is more powerful than someo the others, but WE outside the universe, We Are, because we know things they can't ever hope to.)
All of this is just speculation, of course, but if the Gods/Planets do line up with characters, I think these are pretty good bets for who those characters could be. As for the message of the code: "Seven Gods Align. The Lock Hides in Time. A key Formed from their union."
I believe that this is a clue to or foreshadowing of the plot of the continuation of Space. "Seven Gods Align" either refers to an aligning of those seven planets Or to those seven characters/forces in the story coming to work together. "The Lock Hides in Time" is vague, and I'm sure we'll get more context in subsequent code/theory/lore drops (I am 100% sure we will get more videos like Error in the other Mondays leading up to Part 2's release), but I think this refers to Something or Someone that, if we can reach it, will allow us to repair the broken universe in Space or maybe repair the situation with the House in the overall Markiplier Cinematic Universe (my money's on the broken universe though). And "A Key Formed from their union" could again refer to several things. Perhaps the planets aligning, perhaps the group of everyone working together, or maybe "union" refers to only two people. Celine and Damien as Dark, Celine and Mark's marriage or Celine and Will's affair, or maybe even Y/N's warp crystal and Lady's warp crystal joining together. It's hard to say at this point, but I'm sure we'll find out more as time goes on and Mark tortures us more and more with subsequent lore drops. Happy theorizing, everyone!

"He chases the fire that burns inside In hopes that it'll bring him some light
Because so far, he runs alone In the dark From demons that might try To keep him away from the outside
Though soon he realized He wasn't running towards a light And the things that tried to held him Weren't demons But the ones he left behind
And the light Was a never-ending fire Blue Like the sky On a sunny afternoon
And he kept running Blind in the dark Towards a fire that would enlighten And burn away everything he left behind"
- light at the end of the tunnel, from dabi

Are we still playing the “what the new girl looks like” game?
First hair color is my headcanon, and the second is from a friend
Also I think green eyes just fits her, you know?

Oh, now I get what’s happening; hopefully they can fix the issue asap then
Thanks for explaining!
Due to the recent stuff that's happening with Shueisha regarding their content, I feel like it's safer if I take a break from posting my stuff on Twitter and keep myself here only.
It's hard to tell if this Copyright issue is because of a bot or something completely different, but it's better to be safe.
(I also have no idea if this directly impacts fanfiction as well, but I'm still writing stuff so hopefully I'll be done and able to post after this is over)

living with the knowledge of the mistakes and the loss is the big thing here
heroes are dead because they failed
civilians are dead because they failed
and now the ones that survived will have to deal with this
I know we’re talking a lot about the “who lived and who died” on this chapter, but
This scene?
It’s just the biggest example of the feeling this arc’s aftermath is gonna have.
Lost of hope. Regret. The emptiness of not knowing if you should be doing what you’re doing with your life. What’s next? What’s left?
“Maybe I should find… A new job.”
Are they going to have a tomorrow?
Those people, despise their flaws, gave their lives for the cause. For the people. And now even that wasn’t enough. They “failed”.
This whole chapter was made to make us feel what they’re feeling. To prepare us for what’s to come. It’s not just about faces and names. It’s about a whole country that’s about to lose the little bit of hope they still had.
After 296 chapters, the first part of Boku no Hero Academia reaches its end. But are we ready for what part 2 has for us?

u know what i wanted to now more about, even tho i know i never will because its not a relevant thing in the manga?
if Hawks has bird traits due to his quirk not not (and if he has, what are they)
bcs it looks like it makes sense that he has - well he has a mutant quirk so u know - but at the same time
he never really had any real "bird-like attitude", u know?? he likes to fly and stuff but thats what his quirk is for so it doesnt count
and ill probably never have a solid answer for this and im just
,_,
#theres more irrevelant info i would like to now too#some less sfw than others tho#katestuff.txt#bnha#mha#hawks#keigo takami#takami keigo

BNHA’s Volume 29 Extra - Part 3/3
Ok there was one more extra page for Volume 29 that I didn’t know about, and sadly I cant put it on either compilation posts because of the 10-pic limit ,_,
So I’ll put links for parts 1 and 2 here, then add part 3 on the other two later - and even tho I think there’s no more extras (since Volume 29 is officially released on Japan now), if something appears I’ll just add it here
Anyway, this is an art made by Hori’s assistant together with his new editor!
[Part 1 - Part 2]

BNHA's Volume 29 Extras - Part 2/3
[Disclaimer: Due to Tumblr's limit of 10 images per post, the other Volume 29 images got their own post.
I'll be tagging both posts as "volume 29 compilation" so it's easier for me to find later
But I'll link the other part here later as well]
Part 1
