[TJLC] Distracted by AGRA (or the many hints about personification of death in The Six Thatchers)

PLEASE CONSIDER THIS A WORK IN PROGRESS. IT’S NOT PERFECT BUT I HAVE SOME GOOD IDEAS HERE, I THINK, SO KEEPING IT FOR NOW.

A FEW DISCLAIMERS: - I’m not a native English speaker and this wasn’t betad, so excuse the less-than-perfect English (although you’re about to find out what native language actually is). - I’m very new in the fandom and in reading/writing meta, this would be my second meta post tbh, so excuse the amateurism. - Everything I’m about to write here is based on very quick and easy Google searches. I’m BY NO MEANS AN ACADEMIC! I’m not well versed enough in any form of literary analysis to claim more than that, but perhaps this post will be a breeding ground for new ideas. If you are an academic and you find these interesting - please go ahead and expand on them. - Lastly, this may have been picked up before by other meta writers and if so - I’m not aware of it, as I’m quite new to this fandom.

tl;dr: The Six Thatchers seems to be full of hints about the personification of death and cultural/religious representations of it, in a way that may even hint that that Mary = death, and/or that Moftiss were very preoccupied with the idea while writing it. It should be noted that I find these tidbits interesting in the context of well-established TJLC theories I’ve been reading up on a lot lately, namely EMP and M-Theory. I found these details interesting in the context of reading TST as something that’s happening in Sherlock’s MP as he’s dying and suspecting that Mary is dangerous and perhaps even linked to Moriarty.

AGRA > Samarra > The Four Angels of Death

As these things always go, I’ve been re-watching episodes while researching my WIP fic ‘Turned’. I have this new habit these days of only listening, instead of actually watching the episode in search of a fresh perspective. This time I was blown away, once again, by Sherlock and Mycroft’s conversation about AGRA. It’s a VERY odd conversation considering the topic, and what caught my ear this time was Mycroft mechanically reciting facts about the city of Agra. Why Agra, I asked? What’s so important about it? Nothing, the way I see it. One search led to another and I looked up Samarra, thinking perhaps I’ll find some connection between the two cities, but couldn’t.

The search for Samarra and the parable about it led me to the Appointment in Samarra wiki page, which mentions that the title of the book comes from a retelling of an ancient Mesopotamian tale by W. Somerset Maugham (the source of the next quote is here):

"The Appointment in Samarra" (as retold by W. Somerset Maugham [1933])

The speaker is Death

There was a merchant in Bagdad who sent his servant to market to buy provisions and in a little while the servant came back, white and trembling, and said, Master, just now when I was in the marketplace I was jostled by a woman in the crowd and when I turned I saw it was Death that jostled me. She looked at me and made a threatening gesture, now, lend me your horse, and I will ride away from this city and avoid my fate. I will go to Samarra and there Death will not find me. The merchant lent him his horse, and the servant mounted it, and he dug his spurs in its flanks and as fast as the horse could gallop he went. Then the merchant went down to the marketplace and he saw me standing in the crowd and he came to me and said, Why did you make a threating getsture to my servant when you saw him this morning? That was not a threatening gesture, I said, it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in Bagdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra.

There is also a very interesting study guide link from this website, which asks some very interesting questions about tale, such as Maugham’s decision to make Death a non-omniscient narrator of this tale, as well as a woman. I’ll return to Death being referred to as a woman later. However, since I have no expertise in literary readings, I’ll leave it to others who might be to add some more here.

More below the cut:

The version of the story in TST is a bit different; the servant is absent from the tale; it is instead the merchant who has the nighttime appointment with Death in Samarra after being startled to see Death that morning in the Baghdad market. (This note was taking from a wikipedia entry about another - apparently- very deterministic play by Maugham, Shepey.)

Anyway, the Appointment in Samarra wikipedia mentions that Maugham’s story comes from a much older version recorded in the Babylonian Talmud, Sukkah 53a.

The Talmud is the central text of Rabbinic Judaism. I’m a Hebrew speaking Jew, though an atheist one who isn’t well-read in religious texts at all, but I was intrigued enough to look up the Hebrew Talmud version of the text (in fact it’s originall in Aramaic, but wikipedia offers a Hebrew tranlsation). A quick Google search led me to the wikipedia page about the personification of death, and that’s when things got interesting.

Under the section about the grim reaper in Judaism, a story from the Talmud is mentioned, which seems to be another version of the Appointment in Samarra story. Here’s the story, translated by Google Translate, because I couldn’t find an English version:

The Babylonian Talmud tells of a sage, Rabbi Bibi, the son of Abiy, whose angel of death was often in his company. Rabbi Bibi heard the angel of death ask his emissary to name a woman named Miriam (Mary) who was a hair dresser (the future mother of Jesus). The messenger of death accidentally killed another woman named Miriam (Mary) who was a teacher. The angel of death said to his messenger: "I asked you to kill Miriam the barber and not Miriam the teacher." The messenger of death replied: Then I will bring Miriam the teacher back to life and bring before you Miriam the barber. The angel of death said to him: If you have already brought Miriam the teacher, leave her with me along with the rest of the dead. The angel of death asked his messenger: How did you manage to kill the teacher Miriam even though it was not her time to die? The messenger of death replied: She was killed before an opportunity to kill her - she was fiddling with the stove with ember in her hand to clean the stove. Inadvertently she caused a burn in her leg - and when a person was harmed and his determination of his time to die was undermined - so I had a chance to kill prematurely. The sage, Rabbi Bibi, asked the angel of death: Do you have permission to kill people before their pre-determined time has come? The angel of death answered, "Yes, for it is written, 'There is no one who has perished without judgment.'

(According to wikipedia, this story is taken from תלמוד בבלי, מסכת חגיגה, דף ד, עמוד ב – דף ה, עמוד א).

AGR(A?M?)

Alright, I said, two Marys, escaping death but then meeting it eventually. It happens.

But as I read on… that Hebrew wikipedia page mentions another personification of death, the angel of death Azarel. Azarel has three ‘colleagues’ (e.g archangel) in Islam (and in some variations, they also exist in Judaism and Christianity): Jibrail (Gabriel), Israfil, commonly thought of as the counterpart of the Judeo-Christian archangel Raphael, and Mīkhā'īl (Michael).

So wait, that’s -- that’s Azarel, Gabriel, Raphael... as in AGR(A)? Whoa. That fourth angel mentioned in Islam is Michael - which doesn’t hold up with AGRA - but could that be a coincidence? We’re told two things about BBCSh’s AGRA, but we can’t really know they’re actually true. The first one is that Mary claims it’s her initials, which we later learn is possibly not true - John gets mad realizing it’s another lie. The other thing is that Mary claims to be ‘R’, for Rosamund, but we can’t be sure about that either. However, another cool detail: in Christianity, Raphael is generally associated with an unnamed angel mentioned in the Gospel of John, who stirs the water at the healing pool of Bethesda. Yes - I know, the M really doesn’t fit there, but M really is a character that stands out in the BBCSH universe, doesn’t it?

Moving on to more cultural references of the personification of death the Hebrew wikipedia page offers, note that I haven’t read the first and it’s been years since I watched the second:

Death with Interruptions

In Death with Interruptions by José Saramago, they mention, death is a woman, and she falls in love with one of her future victims. She decides to spare his life: Every time death sends him his letter [notifying him of his imminent death], it gets returned. Death discovers that, without reason, this man has mistakenly not been killed. Although originally intending merely to analyse this man and discover why he is unique, death eventually becomes infatuated with him, so much so that she takes on human form to meet him. Upon visiting the cellist, she plans to personally give him the letter; instead, she falls in love with him, and, by doing so, she becomes even more human-like.

Chess and The Seventh Seal

Another reference is the film The Seventh Seal, about a knight returning from a crusade, and discovers his land his ravaged by plague. The knight encounters Death, whom he challenges to a chess match, believing he can survive as long as the game continues. Does that remind you of any particular promo pics?

What I find interesting in all these references, is that they all seem to deal with questions regarding ‘dealing with death’ that, in the context of EMP for example, can be seen as Sherlock ‘running simulations’ (or asking philosophical questions) on how to deal with his current situations:

- ‘Do you have permission to kill people before their pre-determined time has come’? (Can people time die before their pre-determined time? Can people escape pre-determined death?)

- Can you interrupt death with love? Was Mary supposed to kill John, fell in love with him and thus his death was postponed? Is John still in danger?

- What can one do to postpone death - perhaps challenging it to a game, hoping for survival as you distract it?

PJO TV Plans

So before even the first little HINT about the PJO Disney+ show, I was making plans for a Riordan-verse tv show.

So each season would have twenty episodes, with 8-9 episodes per book and in the middle, two episodes based on short stories or myths. This would allow for the actors, who would obviously be age-matching kids, to grow and still be the appropriate ages for each story.

As we would eventually run out of actual Riordan books, we would move on to Riordan Presents books. Here’s my plans! Let me know what you think and if/how i should clarify!

(Bold is Season, italic is middle/short story episodes, and strikethrough is book. I often show the extents of each episode through chapter titles or quotes found on the wiki plot summaries of each book. If using chapter title, that means it uses every chapter until the next mentioned one.)

A Somewhat Mythology Lesson for the Fae’s Sake

I am now seeing a lot of questions regarding the Fae and have decided to do another of my HoaDS Reference Material Lessons because this was one of the things I researched a lot. Yet again, I will add links to Wikipedia as it has the most basic and easily understandable information, but this time I will also be linking to various Wikia fandoms as I relied heavily on them for inspiration.

First off, Fae (both plural and singular form) also known as fay, fey, fair folk or the traditional fairy are a type of mythical being that does not have a single origin as they are a collection of folk beliefs from a verity of sources. Some see them as a form of spirit, sometimes spirits of the dead, while others believe them to be demoted angels or demons, minor deities, or even as elementals. They are not always small-statured winged creatures, as at one-point goblins and gnomes fell into their category as well. Thus, there is a lot of conflicting information on the fair folk.

More often than not, the fae are usually attracted to those who are beautiful as well as wealthy and seek them out for various reasons. They are masters of enchantment and tend to only care about themselves even when dealing with humans but fae can be persuaded for a price. Traditionally, iron (and by extension, steel) is inimical to them and is often referred to as cold iron when used as a weapon against the fae.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy

For Heart of a Dragon’s Soul, I relied heavily on both Merlin and Dresden Files as reference rather than relying on the folklore since that gave me a more narrowed down basis to work with rather than too much conflicting information. However, as many of my readers have found out, I used the pixies from Disney Fairies for my Wyldfae as to not have to create my own characters. I also stuck to using Fae(rie) for the fair folk in the series to distinguish them as different to Toothiana’s Fairies.

In most folklore, the two most prominent categories of fae are the Seelie Court and the Unseelie Court (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classifications_of_fairies) which I stuck with for the most part but incorporated the Wyldfae as well. However, it should be noted, that the fae, no matter their classification, are still dangerous if crossed. Something I adhered to in my writing as well since it paralleled the dragons who are also Creatures of Magic willing to work with the Hairy Hooligan Tribe but are dangerous creatures in their own right.

The Seelie Court is the more beneficently inclined fair folk whereas the Unseelie Court, are more malicious in nature. These courts are also referred to as the Summer Court and the Winter Court and in HoaDS, there is a reason for the difference between Seelie Court and Summer Court as well as the Unseelie Court and Winter Court. But I’m not sure how far I will go into explaining that as it is a part of the storyline I haven’t yet to post and carries potential spoilers (there is a reason I am the Norn of Silence after all, and that is because I don’t give spoilers if I can help it). However, just know for the most part, the Summer Court is the Seelie Court and the Winter Court is the Unseelie Court.

The Seelie Court more often than not would seek help from humans and warn those who accidentally offended them, returning human kindness with favors of their own. As stated before, they are still dangerous and were quick to avenge any insults to their persons. They also were prone to mischief by playing light-hearted pranks without realizing how the pranks affected humans.

The Unseelie Court, on the other hand, needed no offense to deem it necessary to bring down assault and often attacked travelers out at night. Just like how the Seelie Court were not always seen as benevolent, neither were the fae of the Unseelie Court always malevolent as they too became fond of particular humans if they were viewed as respectful. Though, those humans often times made into something of a pet, which reflected their darker aspects compared to the Seelie Court.

The last classification I use is that of the Wyldfae (inspired by the Dresden Files: https://dresdenfiles.fandom.com/wiki/Wyldfae). These are the fae that are bound to neither of the faerie courts as they are oftentimes seen as insignificant in the eyes of the higher-ranked fae. Though, in the event of a war, most Wyldfae will associate themselves with the side that they are most inclined. For the most part, they lived in harmony in the Wyldfae Haven, home of Pixie Hollow and the Winter Woods before it’s fall. Now, they mostly live in the Nevernever or have carved out a small place for themselves unseen by humans.

Now that classifications are out of the way, let's dive into fae ranks. Here is where I will go into the Summer and Winter Courts as laid out by the Dresden Files as it gave me the groundwork for the fae hierarchy.

Sídhe (pronounced ‘shee’) literally means “people of the (fairy) hills”. This comes back to the idea that fae were spirits of the dead since the ‘fairy hills’ were often burial mounts. Furthermore, Sídhe was the original term for fairies in general but has since changed over time to refer to the nobility of the fae.

In HoaDS, the Sídhe are the nobility of the fae, the upper echelon which is not hereditary—though that can be a determining factor—but based on status and their abilities. In short, they are powerful as fuck. They have fought their way to the top and are still there because lower-ranking fae respect their rule and power but also because no one has managed to kill them off yet.

Originally, the Sídhe were made up of the Sídhe Elders which I envision are the Sídhe Kings of Old from Merlin’s time (https://merlin.fandom.com/wiki/Sidhe_Elder) who have seen the Great Purge and witnessed the Balance disturbed. They might have gone a little insane from their immortality, they could have decided a purge of their own was needed, or they might have seen an opportunity to fill the vacuum of power left from the Great Purge (I’m not saying which), which lead to the destruction of Pixie Hollow and the beginning of the Sídhe War.

During the time of the Sídhe Elders, it was taboo to kill another Sídhe Elder and the punishment was death unless it was another Sídhe Elder that committed the murder. In which case, the Sídhe who committed such an offense was cursed to live the life of a mortal in body and soul. However, if the cursed Sídhe sacrificed a human of great worth, either royalty or one with great magical potential, they’d gain back their life as a Sídhe.

After the Sídhe War, both Courts have their own territories in the land of Faerie within the Nevernever governed by the three queens. The eldest of the Queen, otherwise known as The Queen Who Was, is either Mother Winter or Mother Summer, according to the court she belongs to. They hold no official power over the court but are extremely powerful beings as the former queens who were not killed during their reign. The ruling queen, The Queen Who is, is often referred to as the Winter Queen or Summer Queen and she controls the courts. Lastly, the youngest of each court is the Lady Summer or Lady Winter, The Queen Who is to Come, and is considered to be a Queen in training. The rest of the Sídhe are akin to the Lords and Ladies of the court and take offense at not being referred to faerie rather than Sídhe because they are above normal fae. (https://dresdenfiles.fandom.com/wiki/Faerie_Courts)

The Dresden Files also has a Winter King and Summer King, both of whom are technically Wyldfae but are associated with their respective seasons and are independent of the Queens. In SoaD, the Winter King and Summer King are more or less the protectors of the Wyldfae. It is an alliance of convenience as the two are not truly their Kings but they call them that out of respect.

Dewdrop Faeries are the weakest of the fae. They typically only have the magical talent for one type of magic, be it a certain element or skillset, but not much else as their magical reserves are quite low. Their size is in direct correlation with their magical capabilities, the more magic they have, the larger they are but if they expend all of their magic, the dimmer their light shines. The majority of which are Wyldfae since neither of the courts see the need to recruit such lowly creatures into their services.

Brownies are what some would be considered domesticate fae as they come out at night while the owners of the house are asleep to perform various chores and farming tasks. However, they are far from domesticated as they only complete the tasks in trade for a bowl of milk or cream or some other offering for the brownie left by the hearth. They are easily offended and will leave their homes forever if they feel like they’ve been insulted or taken advantage of in any way.

The Wee Folk are less of a faerie rank and more of a generalization of all the small size fae which include Dewdrop Faeries, Brownies, and the likes.

Pixies are a step above Dewdrop Faeries in power and were the original creators of Pixie Hollow, hence the name. However, upon seeing their power and capabilities, the Sídhe from both the Seelie and Unseelie Courts swayed them to their side with promises of power, forever garnering them as loyal servants to the Sídhe.

Please let me know if this clears things up and if there is still any confusion that doesn’t count as a spoiler, I will do my best to answer. Hope you enjoyed the lesson.

Man. As fantastic as it will be to see Narita's return to anime (with an original IP, no less), it will also be extremely embarrassing, those first several episodes, and I will have to endure this embarrassment because...I have to. Ergh. (Let's be real; it will be vaguely embarrassing up through the Shinoyama estate arson arc at minimum.)

Outlast

“Outlast” is a first person survival horror game developed and published by “Red Barrels” in 2013.

“Red Barrels” is a game developing company which was founded in 2011, they have 27 employees. Their headquarters is at Montreal, Canada. The studio was founded by Philippe Morin and David Chateauneuf, both of them worked on popular games such as “Assassins Creed”, also it was founded by Hugo Dallaire who was an art director of “Splinter Cell”.

About

“Outlast” is a survival horror in which you play as a defenseless journalist trapped in an asylum which is in an emergency state as all the patients have been released, the staff murdered and special forces exterminated.

Story

“Outlast” is a game about a journalist called Miles Upshur who travelled to the Mount Massive Asylum to write a news story about it. Initially the protagonist is trying to figure out what happened in the Mount Massive Asylum, however when he discovers that this is the death trap he tries to go back and leave as quickly as possible. Unfortunately he encountered a patient which wanted bloodshed, causing him to go further into the Asylum.

Upshur discovers that there is a military base under the asylum where there was an experiment known as “Project Walrider”. This was an experiment on an inmate which caused him to control a ghost like entity, with this power he decided to kill everyone and caused chaos and insanity throughout the entire asylum. At the end, Upshur manages to kill the physical body of the Walrider however he gets possessed and becomes the new host of the entity - at the end of the game he gets shot by the military.

Game Trailer

I like the trailer since there is a noticeable contrast between the tone of the person talking and what we see. The camera never cuts, it just goes smoothly throughout the entire area showing us the destroyed building and massacred people. The person speaks really carelessly, almost as if they didn’t understand how horrible the situation is : this is perfect since it causes a surprise for when you see him at the very end of the trailer - but this moment is build up as music get’s more intense and you hear a heartbeat beating faster and faster. His voice shifts from a careless and light tone to deep and seriously as he shows him self, this pushes the fact that you should not trust anyone - not even someone who used to be a doctor at this place.

Outlast : Whistleblower

Outlast: Whistle blower is a DLC for the original game, it start’s and ends both before and after the events of the main game. The DLC also has the same mechanics as the main game. The protagonist of this game is Waylon Park who is a software engineer at Mount Massive Asylum, after seeing torture on one of the inmates he sends a tip to Miles Upsher to see what is happening in the Asylum. Unfortunately, he get’s caught and is used for painful tests, however the Walrider breaks free enabling him to escape.

When he escapes he manages to find a camcorder and records all of the events he witnesses in the asylum, eventually managing to escape in Upshur’s car as the dead man him self watches him leave from in front of the Asylum. Park publishes the video of the madness at Mount Massive, aiming to destroy the company and stop any more experiments.

DLC Trailer

I love that there is this cheery old music playing through a radio, it’s contrasts what we see in every shape imaginable, it emphesises the fact that these people at one point or another used to live a free life. As the trailer progresses the music gets quieter as screams and weapons of torture get louder, it represents how downhill the patients lives went - from free, trapped in an asylum, tortured to being free in asylum and returning back all that they lived through on the staff members and eventually on other patients.

This trailer does not smoothly go through one place like the one of this game does, since this is a DLC it focuses more on the locations that we see as it progresses.

Outlast 2

The story of the second game is happening in the same universe as the one of the first game, however this game is taking place in Arizona and there are characters that we have never heard of before. The game was released in 2017 .

Story

The protagonist, Blake Langerman, is travelling to Arizona to investigate the murder of a pregnant woman. He is travelling by helicopter along with his pregnant wife when they suddenly crash. When he wakes up he is surround by cult Christians who take his wife, after rescuing her they are chased until once more his wife is taken and her child is proclaimed as the antichrist.

You find the father of the woman you came to investigate, he reveals that he was being forced to kill her but instead he gave her a chance to escape. You are found by Christians once again and they crucify you, but you escape eventually freeing your wife and running away. Unfortunately your wife is in labour and gives birth to the child, dying in the process. The game ends as you walk away, everyone else dead.

Game Trailer

The trailer has a distressed woman singing in it, it sounds like a lullaby aspecially considering that she says “little (x) what you do”. She sings of the “father up above”, telling us that the theme of this game is religion aspecially that throughout the trailer there are many crucifixes.

My favourite thing is when the lullaby gets interrupted as someone else screams that there is an outsider - shows us an insight contrast of one of the cult members life and a normal human beings who ends up in this place ironically forgotten by God. This is such a good opportunity to switch from showing locations to the gameplay and they take it, further emphesising the contrast of the womans and protagonists perspective.

Nagito Komaeda (Danganronpa): The main submitter was annoying and I didn’t like the content much among other things.

Satoko Hojo (Higurashi When They Cry): Too many images of the character dressed weirdly for the age range she is for me to want to actually read the wiki for the character.

Alluka Zoldyck (Hunter x Hunter): Submitted for being a system, they’re literally possessed, needs more clarity.

Clarissa (Dead Mount Death Play): Over sexualized and didn’t vibe with it.

Rose Darling (Camp Damascus): Need more evidence and justification from someone who has actually read the book.

Anduin Wrynn (World of Warcraft): As of right now I am not comfortable accepting content from those creators, however if someone has an argument that isn’t mean they might be accepted.

🌷REFORMATION MONTH 🌷

Most Christians have heard the names of John Calvin, Martin Luther, John Knox, and other giants of the Protestant Reformation in Europe. But there are many, many other men and women who worked to advance the cause of the Reformation!

Women also played an important role, either in disseminating the ideas of the Reformation, or using their political power to protect the preachers and teachers of these ideas, and, yes, some were burned at the stake.

Here is one of these women:

Anne Askew 1521-1546

Anne Askew (or Ayscough) was born in 1521 in Lincolnshire, England, to William Askew, a wealthy landowner. Anne was a woman of courage and strong beliefs. She was tortured, in the Tower of London and burned alive as a Protestant heretic for preaching the Gospel in London and handing out Protestant leaflets.

William Askew had arranged that his eldest daughter, Martha, be married to Thomas Kyme. When Anne was 15 years old, Martha died. Her father decided Anne would take Martha's place in the marriage to Thomas to save money.

She was a woman of very strong and sincere beliefs. In her early life she showed an interest and ability for theological studies. Anne was converted to Protestantism when the 'new bible' emerged from the continent. After much study and reading of the Holy Scriptures she adopted the principles of the reformers and became a dedicated believer, a devout Protestant, studying the Bible and memorizing verses, and remained true to her belief for the entirety of her life. Her reading convinced her of the falsity of the doctrine of transubstantiation, and her pronouncements created some controversy in Lincoln.

Her husband was a Catholic, and the resultant marriage was brutal. Askew had two children with Kyme before he threw her out for being Protestant. It is alleged that Askew was seeking to divorce Kyme, so this did not upset her.

Upon being thrown out, Askew moved to London. Here she met other Protestants, including the Anabaptist Joan Bocher, and they studied the Bible together. Askew stuck to her maiden name, rather than her husband's name. While in London, she became a "gospeler --someone who knew large parts of the bible by heart and could preach about them. The ban on Bible reading had intensified the hunger for it, and those who knew the Bible well became lay preachers. As a woman of high social status, this was bound to attract the attention of the authorities.

In March 1545, her husband Thomas Kyme had Askew arrested. She was brought back to Lincolnshire, where he demanded that she stay. The order was short lived; she escaped and returned to London to continue preaching. In early 1546 she was arrested again, but released. In May 1546 she was arrested again, and tortured in the Tower of London. She was then cross examined by the chancellor of the Bishop of London, Edmund Bonner. He ordered that she be imprisoned for 12 days. During this time she refused to make any sort of confession.

She was ordered to name like-minded women, but refused. She was then subject to a two-day-long period of cross examination led by Chancellor Sir Thomas Wriothesley, Stephen Gardiner, The Bishop of Winchester (John Dudley), and Sir William Paget (the king's principal secretary). They threatened her with execution, but she still refused to confess or to name fellow Protestants. She was then ordered to be tortured. Her torturers did so, probably motivated by the desire for Askew to admit that Queen Catherine was also a practicing Protestant.

According to her own account, and that of gaolers within the Tower, she was tortured only once. She was taken from her cell, at about ten o'clock in the morning, to the lower room of the White Tower. She was shown the rack and asked if she would name those who believed as she did. Askew declined to name anyone at all, so she was asked to remove all her clothing except her shift. Askew then climbed onto the rack, and her wrists and ankles were fastened. Again, she was asked for names, but she would say nothing.

What was exceptional about Anne was that despite being arrested, interrogated, and put on the rack (a device so fearful that most victims confessed whatever was required of them), she refused to give names or implicate others, including women at court close to Queen Catherine Parr. She also refused to be silent, arguing forcefully and confounding her accusers with her knowledge and learning.

Sir Anthony Kingston, the Constable of the Tower of London, was so impressed with the way Anne behaved that he refused to torture her. King Henry VIII's Lord Chancellor Wriothesley and Sir Richard Rich had to take over. Other accounts say it was Anne's obstinacy that so enraged Wriothesley that he turned the rack himself.

In her own words, Anne said, "Then they did put me on the rack because I confessed no ladies or gentlemen to be of my opinion; and thereon they kept me a long time and because I lay still and did not cry, my Lord Chancellor and Master Rich took pains to rack me with their own hands till I was nigh dead."

The wheel of the rack was turned, pulling Askew along the device and lifting her so that she was held taut about 5 inches above its bed and slowly stretched. In her own account written from prison, Askew said she fainted from pain, and was lowered and revived. This procedure was repeated twice. They turned the handles so hard that Anne was drawn apart, her shoulders and hips were pulled from their sockets and her elbows and knees were dislocated. Askew's cries could be heard in the garden next to the White Tower where the Lieutenant's wife and daughter were walking. Askew gave no names, and her ordeal ended when the Lieutenant ordered her to be returned to her cell.

On 18 June 1546, she was convicted of heresy, and was condemned to be burned at the stake. Because of the torture she had endured, she had to be carried to the stake on a chair wearing just her shift as she could not walk and every movement caused her severe pain. She was dragged from the chair to the stake which had a small seat attached to it, on which she sat astride. Chains were used to bind her body firmly to the stake at the ankles, knees, waist, chest and neck.

Prior to their death, the prisoners were offered one last chance at pardon. Bishop Shaxton mounted the pulpit and began to preach to them. His words were in vain, however. Askew listened attentively throughout his discourse. When he spoke anything she considered to be the truth, she audibly expressed agreement; but when he said anything contrary to what she believed Scripture stated, she exclaimed: "There he misseth, and speaketh without the book."

Her body was covered in gunpowder before her execution. This was seen as a kindness. Friends often placed gunpowder on the condemned, as it hastened what could be a very slow and painful death. But because she had obstinately defied authority, she was burned alive slowly rather than being strangled first or burned quickly.

So many people turned out for the execution that there was hardly enough room to carry it out. The crowd had to be pushed back. Those who saw her execution were impressed by her bravery, and reported that she did not scream until the flames reached her chest. The execution lasted about an hour, and she was unconscious and probably dead after fifteen minutes or so.

At her execution there was a sudden thunderstorm and a loud clap of thunder. Bale wrote that “Credibly I am informed by various Dutch merchants who were present there, that in the time of their sufferings, the sky, abhorring so wicked an act, suddenly altered colour, and the clouds from above gave a thunder clap, not unlike the one written in Psalm 76. The elements declared the high displeasure of God for so tyrannous a murder of innocents.

Anne Askew was burned at the stake at Smithfield, London, at the age of 26, on 16 July 1546. She burned to death, along with three other Protestants, John Lascelles, Nicholas Belenian and John Adams. She was the last martyr in the reign of Henry VIII.

Her crime? Knowing the Bible, preaching the true gospel and the falsity of Catholic doctrine, especially the doctrine of transubstantiation, and handing out Protestant leaflets.

Of all the stupid and suicidal mistakes that the Romish Church ever made, none was greater than the mistake of burning the Reformers. It cemented the work of the reformation and made Englishman Protestants by the thousands. When plain Englishman saw the church of Rome so cruelly wicked and Protestants so brave, they ceased to doubt on which side was the truth. May the memory of our martyred Reformers never be forgotten until the Lord comes!"

HUGE list of info we’ve learned from the After The Fall Novel

(Courtesy of NeoVelociraptorDelta from RWBY wiki for making this list. You’re incredible!) SPOILERS AHEAD, DON’T CLICK IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW

Grimm

Dromedon are camel like Grimm that can spit venom (p.150). Jackalopes are huge four-legged beasts with black fur, branching red and white antlers, and powerful hind legs (p.150). Ziraphs are three headed Grimm that resemble a giraffe. Their bodies are covered in red spots that bear resemblances to a leopard, and each head has two horns. The Ziraph is described as five stories tall, and has razor-like plates on their (four) legs (p.151). Ravagers are small bat-like Grimm, that are described as dark and leathery, and are uglier than Nevermores (p.69). A visual will be provided by RWBY Amity Arena soon, if datamines are to be believed. A Blind Worm is an enormous worm-like Grimm with a singular red eye. These Worms are easily as big as Flatback Sliders, but are built to be far faster when traveling in sands. Their defenses include hooks and pitons for teeth and acidic blood (p.263). King Taijitu are also native to Vacuo

Carmine Esclados and Bertilak Celadon Carmine and Bertilak are veteran Huntsmen who work for an unknown employer that has hired them to traffic people with powerful Semblances for an unknown motive. In After the Fall, the duo targets Gus and Edward Caspian, having met them in Vale and followed them to the Felspar settlement Vacuo (p.28). They are detained and arrested by team CFVY. Both Carmine and Bertilak are originally from Shade Academy (p.32). Bertilak Celadon Bertilak is a tall, broad, and muscular man with a green mohawk and matching goatee. He sports a brown, hooded cloak, a green chestplate, and a black tunic. Bertilak has a long scar along his right forearm, and uses a large chained mace (p.31). He is 6’6” (p.215). He is racist towards Faunus. He apparently barely graduated from the Academy (p.31), and is considered an ass, as Fox put (p.108). Celadon’s Semblance is generating heat, he can use it to form walls of sand and to cause enemies to be exhausted (p.137). Bertalik faces off against Fox Alistair and Edward Caspian in a sandstorm, and is subsequently defeated. His weapon is destroyed. Carmine Esclados Carmine hails from the Kingdom of Atlas, though she claims she chose to study in Shade Academy due to a disdain towards Atlas Academy’s uniforms (p.35). Her clothes are from Mistral (p.33). Carmine’s Semblance is Telekinesis, which she frequently uses to create localized weather patterns and to manipulate her weapons (p.254). Additionally, Carmine has used her Semblance to dig tunnels through sand in order to escape peril. Carmine is stated to have less mastery over her Semblance than Glynda Goodwitch. She is defeated by Yatsuhashi Daichi, Velvet Scarlatina, and Coco Adel.

Wildlife Vacuan wildlife includes, but is not limited to: Geckos Mole crabs; massive crab-like creatures that move in herds and bury themselves in the sand. Their blood is described as a clear liquid, and their bodies contain water that is almost black in color. Mole crabs are considered a delicacy in Vacuo, and are very rarely killed due to how dangerous they are. Flatback sliders; giant turtles that average at 100ft of height and swim through Vacuan deserts. Sliders have terrible vision, and are considered a sign of good luck when spotted. They are not Grimm (p.204). Food in Remnant Mistral is the kingdom with the most spices in all of Remnant (p.36). Vacuan food includes: Cactus leaves, coffee, crab burgers, crab steak, crab cake, crab rangoon, fried crevice worms, cave beetles (toasted), desert lotus tea, cactus tea, gecko cake (p.30), bat stew, ale, flatbread (p.37), breadfruit (p.79) Sand is jokingly referred to as the “local spice” of Vacuo as it can’t be fully removed when preparing food. Shade Academy Notes Graduates: Carmine Esclados and Bertalik Celadon Headmaster: Theodore (p.33) Professor: Rumpole (p.19)

Beacon Academy Notes Initiation For CFVY’s initiation, the characters were hurled into the Emerald Forest much like in Volume 1. The Relics they were assigned to obtain were small stone tablets with playing card symbols etched onto them. Coco obtained the Joker Fox took the King of Hearts Velvet took the Queen of Hearts All upperclassmen watch the initiation live from Beacon, and judge newcomers based on their performances. Professors and Classes Ann Greene - Stealth and Security (p.80) Thumbelina Peach - Plant Science (p.269) Peter Port - Military Strategy (p.269) Harold Mulberry - Weapon Crafting and Upkeep (p.269) Bartholomew Oobleck - Legends of Remnant (p.269) Glynda Goodwitch - Combat Training (p.269) Ozpin does not teach any classes. The clockwork in Oz’s office is meant to symbolize how rules are crucial to keep things moving (at least to some extent; p.245) Standard Schedule at Beacon: 7:30am - Breakfast 8am - class 9:45am - class 11:15am - class 12:30pm - lunch 1:30pm - class 2:15pm - class 4pm - class 5pm - self-directed sparring 6pm - dinner Beacon sends students on missions more often than other Academies, and gives students more one on one time with professionals (p.270)

Pharos Academy Pharos is a combat school in Vale. Coco and Velvet attended Pharos. They knew of each other but weren’t friends then. Coco developed a reputation for being a heartbreaker and record setter. Vega Bleu is a friend of Velvet who also went to Pharos, but chose to go to Atlas. He wields a pair of arm-mounted grappling hooks (p.52)

Vacuo Notes Popular Vacuan tourist gift shop t-shirts include: “Vacuo: The Wrong Place at the Wrong Time” and “A Terrible Place to Visit, but You Wouldn’t Want to Live Here” (p.1) Vacuan fashion: simple, light-colored tunics and linen cloaks/head coverings (p.15) Vacuo has a survival of the fittest lifestyle, and strength/survivability makes you well liked (p.15) Vacuan settlements/tribes include: Tuff, destroyed by Grimm Oscuro Coquina Kenyte (partially destroyed by a giant sinkhole) Schist (destroyed by Grimm) Feldspar It’s built out of several tents, trucks/vans, and adobe homes without and defenses Has a support CCT tower Vacuan deserts are windy, thus making it extremely hard to track people in the sandy environment (p.23) Aloe is a common sunscreen in Vacuo The saying ‘I’ll take a rain check’ means the same as ‘when pigs fly’ in Vacuo Vacuan terms: Misery’s Kiss (sunstroke), Lasting Regret (food poisoning), Sudden Demise (giant sinkholes; p. 78).

Edward and August ‘Gus’ Caspian Edward is a slender, old man at 71 years of age with silver hair tied into a ponytail and a stubble. He is a former Huntsman, which is surprising because most Huntsmen don’t live long. His weapon is a small buckler shield with a metal blade (p.81) and a gun function (p.179). Edward’s Semblance is blocking other people’s Semblances. Gus has the Semblance of amplifying emotions, only he can’t control it. He kept this a secret from others (p.130). He has no interest in being a Huntsman, unlike his grandfather, Edward. August is roughly eleven or twelve. The Caspians were targeted by Carmine, Bertalik, and their unknown boss because of their powerful Semblances.

CFVY and Other Teams CFVY and RWBY became friends shortly after the latter team was formed. Ruby seems to be close to Coco, Velvet and Fox. Both teams respect each other due to their respective hotshot reputations. The two teams lost touch after the Fall of Beacon. CFVY and Neptune/Sun were friends. They meet each other in the Epilogue of the book in the settlement of Coquina, where Sun informs the team about the events at the Battle of Haven, meaning After the Fall takes place right at the start of Volume 6. Velvet notes that Sun doesn’t seem like he wants to stay in Shade for long.

The Battle and Fall of Beacon Velvet observed team ABRN easily defeat a Death Stalker during the Battle of Beacon Roy Stallion was killed after being carried off by a Nevermore, the rest of team BRNZ is missing, presumed to be dead. Glynda set up her office in a library after the Fall of Beacon, and is operating the reconstruction of Vale. Team CFVY does not trust the Kingdom of Atlas following the Fall. Beringels were present at the Fall of Beacon.

Team CFVY’s Missions CFVY’s mission in the present day was to defend the settlement of Gossan due to a Grimm outbreak after they received a distress call. They found the settlement had been destroyed, and aided the survivors in reaching the settlement of Feldspar. After Feldspar was invaded by Grimm, the team successfully lead the nomads to Coquina without any casualties. They uncovered Carmine and Bertalik’s plan to traffic people, and arrested the two. CFVY’s Mt. Glenn mission was considered an outright failure. The team was sent to a small settlement called Lower Cairn near Mt. Glenn due to a distress call. There, they found the settlement was outright flattened, which was incredibly outside the Grimm’s MO. CFVY found a family of six hiding in a cave near the ruins, and attempted to rescue them. To their horror, the father was killed by an Ursa, and the rest of the family fled back to the cave. The cave was then flattened by a Goliath that appeared, causing CFVY to retreat. The mission lasted ten days and was supervised by Professor Port, CFVY believes Ozpin overestimated their team. In V2, Velvet lies to team RWBY about their mission, partially due to shock and in part to not frighten the first years, given they were leaving off on their own missions shortly.

Ada Ada, or an “Accessibility Dialogue Assistant” is an earbud device intended to aid people with disabilities. It is designed to send pulses to distinguish the nearby environment, and is activated through voice control (p.46). Ada has a compass function(p. 176), as well as a battle mode called the Cyrano Protocol, which identifies weapons and weaknesses. The entire Ada system adapts to fit the user over time (p.178).

Miscellaneous Pig snouts are a confirmed Faunus trait (p.30) Pumpkin Pete is also a Looney Tunes-esque cartoon in addition to the cereal brand (p.12) Curry Up is one of the restaurants at Vale (p.239) Ruby made her V1 outfit herself with roughly 20 Lien (p.112) Coco and Oz once had a talk much like Ruby and Oz did in V1 (p. 117) Fox and Yatsuhashi confronted Weiss about her attitude in V1, shortly after team RWBY was formed (p. 121) More books in Remnant: The Boy Who Fell from the Sky (p.122), My Sweet Samurai, and Hidden Remnant (p.161). ‘Catnap’ is an offensive term when talking about cat Faunus (p.161).

Fox Alistair Fox’s Semblance is that of telepathy. He can send message to people’s minds to convey his thoughts, and he can sense when people are close by. Fox’s Semblance is more precise if people are close by. When using it, other people feel as though they are being watched by something. He is originally from the Vacuan tribe of Kenyte, where he was considered a frail boy by his parents and peers. His parents were killed when a part of the settlement was destroyed in a sinkhole, resulting in him being taken care of by the tribe in a communal fashion. Fox was trained to fight by his honorary uncle, Copper, as he was the one person who didn’t view Alistair as frail. Copper was eventually killed by the tribe for training him as a punishment. Because of this, Fox decided to turn to Vale with the goal of protecting others who couldn’t protect themselves. Fox’s weapons are called Sharp Retribution.

Yatsuhashi Daichi Yatsuhashi’s Semblance allows him to wipe other people’s memories when he touches them. He can permanently wipe “easy memories,” which are trivial in nature, and temporarily wipe important memories, which return on an equal basis as to how they were wiped (so, if he were to wipe a day, then the person regains the memory the next day). Yatsu uses the Semblance sparingly, only wiping seconds at a time. Yatsuhashi was born in the city of Mistral, where he lived with his parents, grandfather, and his sister, Hiyoko. At the age of eight, he discovered his Semblance, and being a problem child, decided to use it to his advantage. However, this took a turn when, in a fit of jealousy, he wiped his mother’s memory of his sister for a day. Yatsuhashi was traumatized by this, and took care of Hiyoko while he waited for his mother’s memory to return. Once they did, he came clean to his parents about discovering his Semblance, to which his parents told him to never use the Semblance again. However, his grandfather suggested that he went to Beacon to master it to use his ability for good. Yatsu’s greatsword is called Fulcrum.

Coco Adel Coco’s Semblance, simply called Hype, allows her to use her Aura to increase the effects and power of Dust. She uses this to power the effect of her gatling gun’s bullets, thus explaining her power level in Volume 2. Additionally, Fox notes Coco has a large amount of Aura. She is native to Vale, and studied in Pharos, having developed a reputation as a heartbreaker and a record setter. Coco notes Ozpin reminds her of her younger brother. She admires Glynda’s leadership and tries to replicate that when talking to her team and when encouraging Ruby Rose. She designed her gatling gun, Gianduja, herself.

Velvet Scarlatina Velvet’s Semblance is Photographic Memory, it allows her to easily learn skills that would otherwise take years to master. Velvet, like Coco, is from Vale and studied in Pharos. At her time in the school, tormentors from Mistral frequently bullied her, causing Velvet to gain a deep seeded hatred for the Kingdom. She also dislikes Vacuo, mainly because it’s simply not as comfortable as Vale was to her. Velvet is sassy when with her team in comparison to her usual shyness around others. Her camera is called Anesidora.

Slate Slate is an old woman with spiky grey hair and what is described as a leathery face. She is the leader of Gossan nomadic tribe, and the former mayor of Tuff (where the tribe was originally settled), which had recently been destroyed by a Grimm outbreak (p.14). Slate is highly respected as a leader, gaining the trust of the entire nomadic tribe and team CFVY.

Jon: King predictions

I: The king laughs and the court laughs with him.

So Jon is laughing, during one of his first real trials as a leader, hedged in language that is applied to three different kings of Westeros. Not only that, the rhythm of the phrase “when the king laughs, the court laughs with him” is echoed almost word for word for Jon specifically.

He [Joffrey] laughed … and when the king laughs, the court laughs with him. Sansa ASOS

He [Jon] laughed, and Pyp and Owen and half a dozen more laughed with him. Jon ASOS

He [Barristan] had spent the best part of his own life obeying the commands of drunkards (King Robert] and madmen [King Aerys]. Barristan ADWD

Jon laughed, laughed like a drunk or a madman, and his men laughed with him. Jon ASOS

II. Bloodraven and “King.”

The raven, which is surely skinchanged by Bloodraven, Bran’s mentor and a man who can see the past/present/future, says king over and over. By Mormont’s actions, GRRM makes a literary connection between the raven’s statement and Jon.

"King," croaked the raven. The bird flapped across the solar to land on Mormont's shoulder. "King," it said again, strutting back and forth.

"He likes that word," Jon said, smiling.

"An easy word to say. An easy word to like."

"King," the bird said again.

"I think he means for you to have a crown, my lord."

"The realm has three kings already, and that's two too many for my liking." Mormont stroked the raven under the beak with a finger, but all the while his eyes never left Jon Snow. Jon AGOT

Jon is LC in the fifth book and the raven meaning Bloodraven is at it again, calling Jon a king. A man who can see the history of Westeros is calling Jon a king again.

He rose and dressed in darkness, as Mormont's raven muttered across the room. "Corn," the bird said, and, "King," and, "Snow, Jon Snow, Jon Snow." That was queer. The bird had never said his full name before, as best Jon could recall. Jon ADWD

III: Gilly and taking a knee for kings

"They say the king gives justice and protects the weak." She [Gilly] started to climb off the rock, awkwardly, but the ice had made it slippery and her foot went out from under her. Jon caught her before she could fall, and helped her safely down. The woman knelt on the icy ground. "M'lord, I beg you—" Jon ACOK

When Gilly entered, she went at once to her knees. Jon came around the table and drew her to her feet. "You don't need to take a knee for me. That's just for kings." Jon ADWD

IV.“Kill the boy” to Aegon the Unlikely and to Jon Snow

“Kill the boy and let the man be born” was the exact same advice that Maester Aemon gave to another Aegon (Aegon the Unlikely) before he became king. Aegon the Unlikely was a compromise candidate chosen by a Great Council rather than by succession. Decades later, Jon gets the same advice this future unlikely king got:

"Allow me to give my lord one last piece of counsel," the old man had said, "the same counsel that I once gave my brother when we parted for the last time. He was three-and-thirty when the Great Council chose him to mount the Iron Throne...Egg had an innocence to him, a sweetness we all loved. Kill the boy within you, I told him the day I took ship for the Wall. It takes a man to rule. An Aegon, not an Egg. Kill the boy and let the man be born." The old man felt Jon’s face. "You are half the age that Egg was, and your own burden is a crueler one, I fear.You will have little joy of your command, but I think you have the strength in you to do the things that must be done. Kill the boy, Jon Snow. Winter is almost upon us. Kill the boy and let the man be born. Jon ADWD.

When Sam eulogizes Maester Aemon in AFFC, he states “he counseled kings as well.”

V. King Daerons and Jon Snow.

Jon is connected in text to the nation building and ruling of two King Daeron. As a boy, he admired Daeron the Young Dragon, a conqueror who tried and failed to conquer Dorne. But as LC, Jon’s nation building mirrors Daeron the Good, who integrated Dorne into Westeros by marriage. I made a separate post detailing Jon’s textual connection to the King Daerons.

Jon sends Sam to the Citadel and Maester Aemon yet again connects Jon to a Targaryen king, this time Daeron the Good:

“My own father raised the same objections when I chose a life of service,” the old man said. “It was his father who sent me to the Citadel. King Daeron had sired four sons, and three had sons of their own. Too many dragons are as dangerous as too few, I heard His Grace tell my lord father, the day they sent me off.” Aemon raised a spotted hand to the chain of many metals that dangled loose about his thin neck.

“The chain is heavy, Sam, but my grandsire [Daeron the Good] had the right of it. So does your Lord Snow.” Samwell AFFC

VI. Aegon the Unlikely and Jon Snow (again)

Egg, Maester Aemon’s brother who is the future King Aegon the Unlikely, is mistaken for a stableboy in the ASOIAF prequel novella. Jon thinks he might be mistaken for a stableboy.

“No one sees her ladyship unless the Longinch gives his leave. You come with me. Your stableboy can stay with the horses.”

"I’m a squire, not a stableboy,” Egg insisted. “Are you blind, or only stupid?” The Sworn Sword.

It would never do to come before this queen without a retinue of his own, if half of what they said of her was true. She might mistake him for a stableboy and hand him the reins of her horse. Jon ADWD.

VII. Kings hiding under the Snow.

The way GRRM phrases this sentence:

"Kings are a rare sight in the north." Robert snorted "More likely they were hiding under the snow. Snow, Ned”! Ned AGOT.

VIII. The Black Bastard & the real king of the castle.

When Arya is in the Red Keep, the seat of the kings of Westeros, she encounters Jon’s dead half sister’s cat, Balerion. The cat is called “The Black Bastard” and “the real king of the castle.” Jon is called the black bastard more than once.

“That’s the real king of this castle right there, older than sin and twice as mean... One time the king was feasting the queen’s father [Tywin], and that black bastard hopped up on the table and snatched a roast quail right out of Lord Tywin’s fingers. Robert laughed so hard he was like to burst. You stay away from that one, child.” Arya AGOT

“The black bastard [Jon] what gutted Orell," said Rattleshirt, "and a bloody warg as well.” Jon ASOS

But they were all dead now, even Arya, everyone but her half-brother, Jon. Some nights she heard talk of him, in the taverns and brothels of the Ragman’s Harbor. The Black Bastard of the Wall, one man had called him. Arya ADWD

IX. Viserys, Jon, and kings’ seats.

“Khal Drogo says your place is not on the high bench,” Ser Jorah translated for her brother. “Khal Drogo says your place is there.”

Viserys glanced where the khal was pointing. At the back of the long hall, in a corner by the wall, deep in shadow so better men would not need to look on them, sat the lowest of the low; raw unblooded boys, old men with clouded eyes and stiff joints, the dim-witted and the maimed. Far from the meat, and farther from honor. “That is no place for a king,” her brother declared

Jon was sitting at the end of the hall which was according to Viserys, “no place for a king.”

A singer was playing the high harp and reciting a ballad, but down at this end of the hall his voice could scarcely be heard above the roar of the fire, the clangor of pewter plates and cups, and the low mutter of a hundred drunken conversations. Jon AGOT

...

“Don’t you usually eat at table with your brothers?”

“Most times,” Jon answered in a flat voice. “But tonight Lady Stark thought it might give insult to the royal family to seat a bastard among them.”

“I see.” His uncle glanced over his shoulder at the raised table at the far end of the hall. Benjen and Jon. Jon AGOT

X. Kingsguard

"Dany glimpsed Ser Barristan sliding closer, a white shadow at her side." Daenerys ADWD.

The Kingsguard wear signature all-white cloaks, and gold armor with extensive white enameling. For this reason they are sometimes colloquially called the “White Cloaks”, or the “White Swords” (wiki)

A kingsguard is Dany’s “white shadow” there to protect her while Ghost, an albino direwolf, is Jon’s “white shadow” there to protect him.

"Ghost padded after him, a white shadow at his side." Jon ADWD.

Ghost ran with them, a white shadow at Jon’s side. Jon ADWD.

XI. A second life worthy of a king.

Jon is almost certain to warg into Ghost upon his death in the books and begin a second life “worthy of a king.”

He had known what Snow was the moment he saw that great white direwolf stalking silent at his side. One skinchanger can always sense another. Mance should have let me take the direwolf. There [Ghost] would be a second life worthy of a king. He could have done it, he did not doubt. The gift was strong in Snow, but the youth was untaught, still fighting his nature when he should have gloried in it. ADWD Prologue

XII. Gods, kings, and justice.

Brienne: "I was also taught that the gods make kings, not swords of men. If Stannis is our rightful King-..."

Catelyn: He's not. Robert was never the rightful king either, even Renly said as much. Jaime Lannister murdered the rightful king [Aerys], after Robert killed his lawful heir [Rhaegar] on the Trident. Brienne and Cat. Catelyn ACOK

The gods make kings and queens for justice:

“Why do the gods make kings and queens, if not to protect the ones who can’t protect themselves?”

“Some kings make themselves. Robert did.”

“He was no true king,” Dany said scornfully. “He did no justice. Justice … that’s what kings are for.” Daenerys ASOS.

The first time chapter GRRM ever wrote and the first time we meet Jon:

He put a hand on Bran’s shoulder, and Bran looked over at his bastard brother. “You did well,” Jon told him solemnly. Jon was fourteen, an old hand at justice. Bran AGOT.

A king should protect his people as Davos says and this is the mantra that Jon becomes the embodiment of. “I am the shield that guards the realms of men.”

"There's much I don't understand," Davos admitted...And I know that a king protects his people, or he is no king at all." Davos ASOS

The shield that guards the realms of men. Ghost nuzzled up against his shoulder, and Jon draped an arm around him. He could smell Horse's unwashed breeches, the sweet scent Satin combed into his beard, the rank sharp smell of fear, the giant's overpowering musk. He could hear the beating of his own heart. When he looked across the grove at the woman with her child, the two greybeards, the Hornfoot man with his maimed feet, all he saw was men. Jon ADWD.

XIII. Matters for a king: marriages and inheritances.

In his position as Lord Commander, Jon exceeds his mandate. He acts as a king. By Jon’s own words:

"Marriages and inheritances [lands and property] are matters for a king, my lady." Jon to Alys Karstark. Jon ADWD

Cersei says Jon has given Stannis lands and property:

“The father [Ned] would have handed the realm to Stannis. The son [Jon] has given him lands and castles.” - Cersei to the Small Council.

Jon later brokers Alys Karstark’s marriage to the Magnar of the Thenns and secures the loyalty of the Thenns. And, Jon gives Alys away at her wedding.

“Will my lord be feasting with us?” Mully asked Jon Snow.

“Shortly.” Sigorn might take it as a slight if he did not appear. And this marriage is mine own work, after all. Jon to Mully.

[...]

"Who brings this woman to be wed?" asked Melisandre.

"I do," said Jon. "Now comes Alys of House Karstark, a woman grown and flowered, of noble blood and birth." He gave her hand one last squeeze and stepped back to join the others. Jon ADWD.

XIV. A king must be bold

Boldness is a trait of a king according to Tyrion:

A king must be bold. Tyrion ASOS

You're [Jon] bold enough to be a Stark. Stannis to Jon. Jon ASOS.

Stannis stared at him incredulously, then gave a bark of laughter. “You are bold enough, Snow, I grant you that.” Jon ADWD.

You have a bold tongue in the king's solar, boy [Jon] - Godry to Jon. Jon ADWD.

Jon was less amused. "I will not ask my men to do what I would not do myself. I mean to lead the ranging."

"How bold of you," said the queen [Selyse]. Jon ADWD.

I want to be careful using external sources such as other books or historical events to predict future events for ASOIAF as it’s not as credulous as using the text of ASOIAF itself. But it’s fine for analytical purposes.

If anyone has read Tad Williams’ fantasy series Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, it’s obvious that ASOIAF is heavily influenced by it and George himself has stated that Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn influenced him to write ASOIAF. The link details some of the surprising similarities between Memory, Sorrow and Thorn and ASOIAF.

Tad’s fantasy series, The Dragonbone Chair and the rest of his famous four-book trilogy was one of the things that inspired me to write my own seven-book trilogy. I read Tad and was impressed by him, but the imitators that followed — well, fantasy got a bad rep for being very formulaic and ritual. And I read The Dragonbone Chair and said, “My god, they can do something with this form,” and it’s Tad doing it. It’s one of my favorite fantasy series. - GRRM.

Jon Snow’s analogue Simon Snowlock, who has a mysterious lineage, becomes king as a last choice. Jon is a character who’s been connected in text to a King Aegon the Unlikely who was chosen by a Council and who was not the first choice as the lords distrusted Aegon the Unlikely who’d grown up on the road with commoners.

I’ve skipped Mel’s visions (”show me your king, your instrument” and the flames whispering Jon’s name and giving Mel a mug shot of Jon) and other points because Mel’s visions are not simple and this post is already too long.

“Pit of Peril”

Summery:

An enormous cockroach was sent into the Vietnam Jungles for testing. The thing was operated by Lindon B. Johnson at the time. It fell into a fiery ditch, turned into an Ox. It was Saturday.

There were some men who had been roped into the Vietnam Cockroach Testing Center, they got burned when they saw the coughing gas that had been deployed by the cockroach. They witnessed their own US military being slaughtered by the enormous LBJ Cockroach, and reported what they saw as “Mummy’s Coughing Gas in Hell”. The men who were roped in, were brave men.

youtube

Some people came, to help get the LBJ Cockroach out of that Saturday Ox Ditch of Hell.

They grabbed it by the leg, tried to use Electro Magnets, to slide the enormous beast up the side of the land in the ditch.

There were some big lips, doing a lot of talking, the lips were in the way, so, they undermined, then blew the lips off. They were getting in the way of the land slide cockroach Oxditch raising of the beast.

Inside that Oxditch, was a burning inferno of what used to be US Military, some people had seen it there, burning, there was a Mummy just out of range, out of view, but everyone knew the Mummy was there, and those brave men who were roped into that fiery Pit of Peril, were repulsed by what they had learned about the Mummy of Coughing Gas that they Saw.

================================

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcophagus

================================

That’s what happened in the Thunderbird’s 2 Pit of Peril episode.

In real life, some years later, the cable did snap, all of them snapped, not just one, the electromagnets came loose. They were not able to get the LBJ Cockroach slid up the side of land in the Oxditch, so, the LBJ Cockroach simply crawled beneath some rocks at a Pyramid in a faraway place, quietly existing while others remained on the surface doing Ox Work on Saturday’s.

Small factoid:

1971 Southern California, the paratroopers came from the sky in tandom by the thousands. they landed, folded up their parachutes, and began to use the swords they were armed with immediately at the traffic lights, where they just stood at the cross-walk, waiting for a red light so the cars would stop. They used their swords to capture and kill the driver, and they disappeared into the San Fernando Valley. The paratrooper event had begun, was carried out, and was completed without a trace within about less than one hour.

The air-raid sirens wailed for two weeks, no help came to San Fernando Valley.

Later, there were carnivals at the shopping center parking lots. The paratroopers has already found homes, had blended in, used the carnivals as bait to lure victims of all ages. They called it “The Midway”, and if you knew that they called it “The Midway”, you could survive at the Carnival at the parking lot, by blending in with the terrorist paratroopers who had already become established by then.

The paratroopers came from above three times that I can recall, over a couple of years time, in installments.

no one believed the school students who saw the paratroopers land near the school in tandem, two per parachute, by the thousands, from a hundred airplanes within a short time.

But, that is what happened.

Have you ever done exercise calisthenics?

Four Count Burpies?

Six Count Burpies?

Eight Count Burpies”

I don’t think there are ten count ones.

The Russian Mother Hoax Fractal enlists exorcise calisthenics, makes small fractal adjustment, to create exorcism, a different kind of Burpie, one done with services on Sunday Mass.

Hoax. The Father of the Hoax is Christianity. The Mother is Russian.

The two procreate. They lie together.

The Hoax, is their child.

There is no place called Russia. There are Rubes.

Some say a Rube is an unsophisticated County Bumpkin.

There is a contest at the county fair every year to see who can grow the biggest Pumpkin.

Conclusion about Country Bumpkin is, they are FOOLS! The Carny’s at the Midway say the Fool’s are Rube’s.

Take the Fractal Viewer along with Mrs. Russia Christian Hoax of Lies, over to the corner of Hollywood & Vine, at about 12:01 am, any day of the week, to learn more about fools, counting, and pumpkins.

(”Speed Bump” shows up on decoder ring RADAR)

(So does Kindling and nitrous gas)

=====================================

In the Thunderbird’s episodes, have a look at the way US and other Conventional Military Personnel and Equipment is portrayed as “old tech”, or “sub standard”, or “obsolete” or other words that can be used to say that it’s all out dated, while “International Rescue” has tech that is “decades ahead of it’s time”, is so top secret that a photo of it will get you killed by a London Agent with Grill Mounted Machine Gun. It’s all secret, however, everyone seems to know to call on International Rescue when the shit goes sideways.

“Mysterious Secrets of Common Knowledge” = Church

Look at the colors of the different crafts in Pit of Peril episode. There is OD Green Army Helicopter, that one uses old tech, has rotor blades to make it fly.

There is a Red & Yellow ambulance craft. That one takes the Injured Braves away.

Traffic lights and blades are part of the message.

Injured Braves.

At a traffic light.

There are Blades on the OD Green.

Instruction from High Command at Vatican John Paul II HQ:

“Just wait at the traffic light, the cars will stop when the light turns red. When they do that, get in, use sword, take prisoner back to where they live. Interrogate prisoner, gain personal information, we will be putting the LBJ Cockroach back into service as you are doing that work. Remove prisoner, follow leads.

Lady Penelope London Agent will provide update in the next episode of Thunderbird’s Perils of Penelope as we work out the bugs in the plan.”

----------

This small scene from the previous Thunderbird’s episode is interesting, some models on a map table shows military target practice nearby. A plan is developing. It’s more than you see in the story lines presented, way bigger, for mature audiences.

-------------

The timing is not right for that explanation about the colors of the crafts and the eye-witness to what I saw and lived through, and traffic lights. The episode aired in 1965. The Southern California aerial attack happened in 1971. It’s possible that I did not see that 1965 paratrooper attack, I did see the 1971 and other installments of the invasion into California.

Maybe the 1965 Pit of Peril (Valley of Death) is like the sketch of that Asian Drum Dancer in Father’s Office, where it becomes a full size statue of the sketch later on, after more art work is done in three dimensions, bases on the two-dimensional sketch.

A plan in development, one that in 1965 was more about getting LBJ back into the White House in 1968 election, with emphasis on developing a plan for the physical attack to begin afterwords.

The plan was delayed. LBJ was not re-elected.

Richard Nixon was elected, fouled up the Pope Paul Plan. He turned off the Giant Cockroach Machine at Vietnam before he left. He is the last American Hero, got screwed in the end, like they all do.

Pope found ways to make Nixon go away, like the Mertz’s, I always wanted them to just go home, let Lucy do her thing, she is entertaining.

Then, they get this Ball roling:

This fucking guy right here:

That guy went in, came out, like a Double Double at the In-n-Out Burger... fast, filling, cheap & easy. Real Quick. Wolf Blitzer style, as the wire guided missal is directed into the window of the baby milk factory, Blitzer does the Play-by-Play like a football game color announcer, live, as it happened, right in front of everyone on TV.

The Pope was back on track at that time.

===============================

Rumor:

Pope John Paul II is said to have fathered many thousands of children, one of which is Ivanka Trump. The Pope’s children are said to have been specially trained for Global Domination, and include professions of all kinds, from doctors, to guitar players, to special assassins, and everything in between. Thousands of children.

There are some Mandela Effect Versions that are called “With The Beatles”.

Idunno what to say about Mandella Beatles.

I cannot find a YouTube presentation of the Original Pressing being played to share right here.... you know what that means, right?

It means that Meet the Beetles is a slippery slope that when you step in all of that leaky British Oil, will only lead to the Gorge of Eternal Peril... or worse.

Worlds Fair, 1964 again.

Unisphere:

What could be said about that Unisphere?

The continents all have representation. All are present.

The oceans are a framework.

The world has some holes in it.

There are fountains of support.

It very, very big, judging by the size of those small people there at the bottom.

It has satellites orbiting.

Some places seem to have more detail than other places do, need to have a closer look to find out.

Looks like a nice place where it’s at, trees, blue sky, some artwork, a pond is there... the pond has some division looking areas, have to have a closer look to find out what that is.

What else?

The timing is difficult to see, but, the Unisphere exists in time.

Classic Starts Collection:

The “Last of the Mohican’s” is the same terror message as is “Oliver North”.

“More He Cans”: Canadian Gas Wielding Terror Soldiers Who Last... “bring bigger rectally holstered gas tanks and more men”.

Oliver North: “Send All of the Queen’s North.... from Canada”

This Oliver part leads back to the Giant Cockroach in Vietnam, also, at the same time, leads to Mike Pompeo at US State doing Iranian Terror Rental Service, in the future, where terror is done, with details that make Iran the handy Bad-Guy to blame for everything. While also serving as commands to send more Canadian terror soldiers to USA for Global Domination work, AKA: Slaughter the US Citizens, while SAG puts on a show, and GCHQ MI-6 SIS at Vauxhall Bridge makes Election Arrangements to support Ronald Reagan and his tribe of SAG. (R. Reagan was President of SAG before he was President of USA.)

Oliver North is a sophisticated fellow character in the Russian Mother or all Hoaxes.

======================================================== everything below this plimsoll is for demonstration purposes only, it’s just a example of how terror comm works, to try to help you learn to read it, see it, think about it, decipher it, get in front of it, stop the terror take-over.

6:50 pm:

Hold that thought.

Advanced Decoder Ring settings gets weird.

Apply “Olive the Above” filters.

Things can wind back at Ibuprofen Union areas.

Upside Outlet Brain Wash Conditioning Cute Face Terror Comm can happen.

Upside Down, Capsize, Pope’s Pointy Hat, Cat in the Hat.... (it gets weird)

With conditioning from Ibuprofen Union (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, IBEW, people don‘t know which way is up.

Cans become peaches.

It’s a girl can w/peaches.

The men become women.

The can becomes a peach, it used to be the can was the ass.

now, the can is the jug.

The jug holds the nitrous gas. It’s in the can.

The boat is upside down, is capsized. It’s a girl, because of the boat.

Where did the boat come from... ?

The terrorists are pirates, there is always a boat, by default, you can toss a boat into almost any terror comm.

Eddie Murphy shows up on Decoder Ring Radar, says everyone is throwing pussy at him.

Donald Trump is not far behind Eddie. Grabbing at what was tossed to Eddie.

I don’t have a conclusion for this, that is the point of the Pope’s Pointy Hat... this connection of dots could go on eternally... and all of the above (Olive the Above) serves as Fodder for communication about Vatican terror, it’s all within the chalice, the Holy Grail that is the English Language Terror Weapon.

Although that is difficult to follow, it can be followed, and that is why it works so good to advance Global George Terror... Geo, Geography, Georgia, ... Google Maps. It all leads to Sodomy, the quest for dirt, land, earth, High Ground.

“There is no pussy here, I thought you said it was live Jerkmate from Pornhub nuns”

not exactly.

no!

not that either. Trump is trying to stay busy while riding around other peoples coat tails, so, things with terror comm get a glitch sometimes, have to start over.

Melania.... after the live Pornub nun Jerkmate show, while Donny is chasing after Eddie Murphy’s leftovers. Time Warp Fast Forward applied heavy to previous rewind repeat fractal adjustment, ...

Just have to come up with a workable Russian Lie.... Record Producer Hat:

“You ladies are just exactly what we are looking for to be on our next hit single”

This part is real. Things heat up in the ocean currents when lies are told about record producing and the liars have Junk in the Trunk.

That graphic came from US Department of Energy at Twitter from Rick Perry Secretary of DoE.

Rename the chart: “Power Shift Chart” or “Shift in Power Chart”.

See on the left that the power is measured in Joules.

“Enormous Power Shift Chart”

It’s disguised with Pirate interests of ocean temperatures.

The top line tells you where the information is coming from, from the “Upper 2000″. That means 2000 years AD. It comes from Vatican High Command, appears to be a training tool for young pirates.

It covers a span of about 55 years.

First thing you see is that there is some red information, and some blue information. The Blue information is over powered by the red information in around 1996 or so.

There is a period of neutrality there. A Zero mark at the “Mean“ where blue gave way to red as time progressed.

We see there are some green information, they say that is “95% Error Margin“. Happens every ten years it looks like, means “Blue Team Fucked Up Big Time”.

95% Fucked Up. (see back up singers above)

There is “Monthly Mean, on the Down Low” (menstruation. Men turned to women, they bled. Monthly.

We see some small words “Annual Mean” happens twice, that is mentioned over top of Blue Team Information, and is below Red Team Information. Looks to me like Red Team is Mean.

There is mysterious information on the bottom right, says: “Baseline 1981 -2010″ in some foggy looking lettering there.

Here is what we need to do with that foggy mystery, it’s from the Pope, it’s Hokus Pokus, so, apply “No VA” (No US Veteran’s Administration Anymore, it’s Enormous Power on the High See’s of Temperature Reading” so, we have to push it, “no-va, won’t go, have to push it” filter is a applied to the Hokus Pokus from Pope.

Where?

It goes over to 1981... push the Zero to 1981... over to the left about 15 years or so. That makes the 2010 part go to the 1996 part, where the Zero used to be.

Why?

Because the Pope said so, that’s why, also, he needs to show when the Mean Power Shift happened.

It happened the same day when Ronald Reagan became US President. That is what is important about 1981.

So, step the fuck back, make assessment:

In 1981, there were some Blue people pretty much in charge, going along doing blue things. Then, Big Red See Monster came along, has Joules, Big Fucking Balls, kills all of the US Veterans Administration Personnel. It happened in the ocean it says, so, that means the whole US Navy got screwed by the Big Red See Monster, came out of no where, while on the Blue Team (VA) it was nothing but Er. Maybe was ER, Emergency Room with 95% Fuck Up Rate of Progression over time. Part of the reason that there was so much Back Up Singers going on, looks like Time Warp Pope Hokus Pokus of 15 years is what caused the problems for Blue Team. Red Team is only showing very small amounts of 95% Error ten year intervals information, I think those are casualties. Blue Team shows many casualties, while Red Team shows only few. I think there are two kinds of people on each team being shown here, maybe Green information is commander level people on each team, while Blue and Red are the actual Team, the workers, the soldiers, whatever you need to label them.

They are all Military on the Blue Team is how it looks to me. Are all gone.

The Green information is more Hokus Pokus from the Pope. Is not very clear, might be some false reading there on the “Enormous Power Shift Chart”.

Ten means dead. Those green Error markers are Whisker Graph Style information, maybe a Wilkinson‘s Decoder is necessary to know more about Green Information of Error. A Razor. A Blade. A Shave at the Barber. Maybe is Prophet Margin.

Rick Perry: Secretary of DoE chart reading from around January 19, 2019 (1-19-2019) is the day I saved that, and did the reading at Twitter initially.

End Chart Read: 9:08 pm.

9:15 pm: Additional: IBEW Ibuprofen Union Power guys use special tools. For remodel work on a Power Distribution Circuit Breaker Access Box, when you need to get some wires into the box and there are no holes available to use, you need to make a hole in the box per safety regulation standards. There is only one way to do that. You need a “Green-Lee Punch“ for that.

I think the Green information every ten years could have a installation of a Beard into the Circuit Breaker Main Panel at DoE, then, the Beards get shaved, to clean up the installation, remove the burs from the edge of the hole so insulation won’t scrape off, cause short circuit. Or something like that. Green-Lee Punch also goes over to Hawaiian Punch areas of Russian Mother Hoax, 5-O is over there. The prostitutes come out to the corner in 5 inch glass heals at 5:00 pm every day right across the street from the police station on Waikiki Beach.

The Ocean Current Temperature is Tempura Shrimp, deep fried goodness at Pearl Harbor, for consideration of the chart, comes with “5-O Different Sauce” and some change. Obama is in the Chart too.

More: There are Joules (Jewels) and Hawaii is showing up in the chart, so, Diamond Head needs to go in there. There will be some Virgins when that happens, they go into the Volcano, for the reading to be complete.

That means this also goes into the read somehow:

Thunderbird’s Pit of Peril shows up on Decoder Ring Radar. Start Over....
