Due to work commitments and other commitments, I have decided to discontinue my participation in Resurrection OCT.

Round 1 just ended and my holiday took most of the time I needed to do my round anyways.

I wish all other competitors the best and heaps of fun.

Cheers~ Petrotasia

A Cristabel

[liesmyth]

Thinking about soul permeability in regards to Cristabel and Mercymorn. Mainly the quasi religious reverence Mercy holds for John, despite everything, after ten thousand years of bitterness and regrets and sex parties. Mercy in Act 4 isn't just a woman who feels betrayed; she's a faithful who's lost her religion.

I've always been fascinated by the way Mercy acts around John; he's both her Emperor and sort of friends and her God, in a way that I don't think any of the other Lyctors ever come close to. They have personal loyalties to John, except when they don't, and a lovehate thing going on, but I don't think they truly worship him the way Mercy does, even when she's scolding him.

Pre TUG, I always thought that this was something Mercy did to honour Cristabel’s memory. Cristabel killed herself out of devotion and Mercy dedicated her whole existence to her remembrance; of course she needed to believe in John's divinity, to keep Cristabel’s faith alive. I thought it was a role Mercy performed, that of the fanatic, because turning her back on that side of Cristabel meant agreeing with Augustine that Cristabel hurt her by taking away her choice.

But what if it's not a mannerism Mercy developed? What if it's Cristabel’s soul peeking through?

Love is just a history that they may prove  And when you're gone  I'll tell them my religion's you

im v annoyed rn so take some doodles whilst i try to work out my PRIMAL , ANIMALISTIC RAGE!!! RAURRR !!!

[turtleduckanarchy]

got Mercymorn feelings today…..she was an atheist at twelve and in love with a nun, brought her nun friend to help, and her friend shot herself to help John……resurrected Mercy still in love with Cristabel, Cristabel dies all over again for John’s mission, and after a millennia of grief and regret and now rightful anger Mercymorn’s final act of love for Cristabel was to kill God—she killed God for her love who once was devoted entirely to God

[lastflowerofyourhouse]

i wanna talk about mercymorn the first. let's talk about mercymorn the first.

mercymorn, the ex cryogenicist turned master anatomist, the know-it-all flesh magician who memorized the entire human body by rote, the scientist, the skeptic, the heretic. mercymorn, who founded...the eighth house???

the eighth house. the eighth house? the spotless-white-and-delicate-chain-mail spirit magicians? the religious fanatics who carry around giant portraits of the emperor undying when they travel? the guys who explicitly model themselves after the knights templar? little miss "thou shalt not take cristabel's name in vain" founded the soul siphoner house?? the one that produced glorified human battery colum asht??

i'm not the only one who sees something strange in this, right? none of the others are this mismatched. augustine's fingerprints are still all over the fifth. we know very little about cyrus, but from what we do know, i completely buy that he founded the third. g1deon and/or pyrrha make perfect sense as the founders of the second. same goes for casseopeia, anastasia, and ulysses. where the information exists, it adds up. except in the case of mercymorn and the eighth.

but, of course, there's an obvious answer here. who do we know who was resurrected in the first wave, who worked very closely with mercymorn, who had a notable interest in the soul, who was fanatically religious, who probably wouldn't have minded the idea of a cavalier being used for anything, no matter how painful or demeaning? who do we know who could easily have been the first to suggest soul siphoning, who could have thought up eight for salvation no matter the cost in the same sitting as one flesh, one end?

personally, i can't believe it's not just commonly understood that cristabel oct is the true founder of the eighth house.

[ghostlygraphist]

i know most of us are on Alecto's side because of *gestures broadly* reasons but given

a) how tazmuir likes to recontextualize stuff

b) the OG lyctors were scared shitless of her (Augustine saying she was a mad monster in a human suit and John went and made her worse? like i know they were pissed off about the resurrection beast stuff but there has to have been more to it than that?)

c) in the poem (Christabel) that is Cristabel Oct's namesake there is a MYSTERIOUS BLONDE WOMAN who is NOT HUMAN and moves into the castle and BEWITCHES THE LORD and CASTS A SPELL ON CHRISTABEL SO SHE CAN'T WARN ANYONE

i just. sort of. you know. i wonder. if it means anything.

EDIT: Y'ALL KEEP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH

I NEVER SAID ALECTO GOING APESHIT WAS BAD

I NEVER SAID YOU COULDN'T WANT THAT FOR HER

I WAS JUST NOTING FOR MYSELF MOSTLY THAT OUR FIRST EXPOSURE TO HER AS SWEET NONA WAS MAYBE GOING TO BE SUBVERTED TO THE EXTREME

A joke post I made as a spin on Resurrection OCT's Round 1 prompt, concerning collecting magical ferns for Blanca and the judges.

Drug-use statement: Whether or not you wish to participate in 420 is your decision. Your choice is more important than impressing others, so make sure its a decision for yourself. If you are, make sure you are doing it in a safe environment. If you are using for the first time, use a dosage of 5mg or lower to get a feeling of your body's reaction.

I don't want to be y'all's mom, but I've heard plenty of bad stories of people getting panic attacks and other physical responses to use. Stay safe and informed.

Prompt Examples + Explanations 

I’ve had people ask for prompt examples in past events I’ve hosted and this event is open to any language, so here you go! These are the quick brainstorming notes I took while narrowing down the list, now expanded with links & definitions. These are only some of maaaany interpretations—go wild!

Your host is a fic-writer with ADHD, so…you’ve been warned.

🎃 Day 1: 

Pumpkin Spice: Cozy Autumn vibes. Putting up Halloween decorations, carving Jack-o-lanterns, coffee / tea shop, pumpkin patch, scented candles, baking, fall sangria, sweaters and beanies and flannels, momijigari (Autumn Hanami 🌸, basically) / admiring gorgeous fall foliage, fresh hot apple cider in an orchard. Itoshi Bros and their love of turtle/mock-neck sweaters. Pumpkin Farmer Aiku and Karasu scarecrow!

Dance with the Devil: Defined. To dance with the devil is to engage in risky, reckless, or potentially immoral behavior. Or going out dancing; Demon and priest, hell, listening to the angel or the devil on your shoulder (making a questionable decision because it’s tempting), devilish fun or spells, sin, temptation, a deal with the devil. Ohhh, Sae and Shidou, your night has come! 😈 (Suggested by unhingednagi) 

🎃 Day 2:

Myth: Myths or legends from any culture or time period. Greek, Roman, Japanese, Egyptian, etc.!! Gods and mythical creatures and beasts. Dionysus or Eros or Apollo Shidou; Persephone and Hades, so many! Hercules Kunigami!

Resurrection: reincarnation, zombies (Lorenzo!), waking up a vampire or werewolf after being bitten; …having a little too much fun on Halloween and having to pull oneself together the next day (sugar hangover, ...hangover-hangover). (Suggested by several anons!)

🎃 Day 3:

Whisper: soft voices, trying not to be caught/found/discovered, whispering a secret, whispering something spicy, hearing voices. 

Scream: screaming in fear or excitement or…; calling out for someone. Scary movies, pranks. Awkward meet-cute. Bachira’s monster. 

🎃 Day 4, Halloween: 

Sugar Rush: the “rush”/“high” or energy you get from eating a bunch of sugar! Trick-or-Treating, candy corn, so much candy, caramel corn; being sweet, a different sort of rush; ..."give me some sugar"

Haunted: Ghosts, spirit entities like yokai, strange noises in the night. GhostBusters, Ghost Adventures. Gagamaru as a friendly Yokai! Shaman. Possession, possessed or cursed objects. JJK. Ouija board game! Monk Igaguri. Real or funhouse haunted house, ghost stories; being haunted by the past; being possessed or haunted. The twisty, creepy aura thing Rin gets.

🎃 Day 5: 

Incantation: a set of words that could be a sort of incantation / magic words, any type of magic, witches, wizards, curses, Ness the Magician, Harry Potter, Quiditch, Lord of the Rings, crystal ball, tarot. Wands, spells, magical objects, magical creatures, etc.. Making a wish. Non-literal magic words in relationships (saying / hearing just the right thing). 

Free Prompt: Whatever Halloween stuff you want that doesn’t quite fit a prompt. The day to use any of last year’s prompts! 

Just listing some of the things I would draw (if I could) or write (if I had time): Video game au for Hiori! Little French imp Charles as the Joker or a jester. Pokemon! Barou as the “Cowardly” Lion in the Wizard of Oz. And finally, artists, if you’re reading this, please, please consider Noel Noa (of the 🇫🇷 French National 🥖 Team!!) dressed as Bonjour Man from Life Lessons with Uramichi Onii-san (clip, manga cap). This is my second year making this wish. This image has literally been haunting me since starting this event and the manga/anime (even the dub!) is soooo funny. And technically, Bonjour Man is a cursed spirit sooo 👻

🎃 Day 6: 

Festival: String lights illuminating festival stalls, costumes, traditional attire (Aryu looking stylish!), food and drink, games, Isagi devouring fried fair food. Fall Music festival. Mid-Autumn Festival (with all the pretty lanterns and mooncakes 🥮), Harvest / Fall Fests in general. Bobbing for apples, caramel / candy apples, carnival rides and games, Ferris wheel, corn maze. Oktoberfest; Kaiser and/or any Bastard München player in Lederhosen—please, I’m begging!! Fun house / haunted house. Day of the Dead festivities. 

Instinct: fight or flight, fear, instinct to hunt like vampires, instinct to save someone, instinctively drawn to someone, instinct to grab someone’s hand or hide behind them; that gut feeling that it’s time to leave a place. Hairs on arms raising, chills going down one's spine, one's whole body trying to tell one something.

🎃 Day 7: 

Space: All things celestial. Nightfall. Stars and moon, werewolves, moonlight, Tsukimi / moon viewing + Tsukimi dango 🎑, celestial myths and gods. Stars, moon, aliens, Star Wars, astronauts, and planetary hotline Isagi and Kurona! Kurona and Isagi planetary hotline. Astrology. Wishing on a star. Fun fact: The Orionid Meteor Shower peaks just before this event starts, the night of Oct. 21-22, and continues until Nov. 7th! Cowboy Bebop.

Cowboy: Not much is wilder than Blue Lock—except maybe The Wild, Wild West. Outlaws, Gunslinger Isagi (see recent manga chapters), sheriffs Aikuuu and Nio, horses, rodeos, Ego and his little football bolo tie in cowboy getup pleaseee, the works, Nagi and his lil Choki cactus. Ego as a gangly cowboy, ⚽️ bolo tie and all.

Okay, that’s it. Hope y'all have fun. Please reblog and spread the word 🧡🖤
