the significance of music and sound in aa4 is something that means so much to me. phoenix's horrible piano playing, apollo's loud screech and klavier's tasteless music all blend together perfectly into a melody that makes kristoph gavin's ears bleed: irritating, second-grade, something that soils the silence of the court in which he is the only one standing, the only one talking, him and the law, only his voice deciding the outcome of the trial. they displease him greatly: he makes rude remarks about phoenix's skills and insults apollo's voice, and i can't imagine he approves much of klavier's music. they threaten him, ruin that little violin tune of his. phoenix, apollo and klavier are the three who dare to make some noise, to speak up, to cut through the uncaring silence.

and music is a form of art that only becomes this significant by the fourth game: before, the main one was paintings (hund in the lobby, sketched by larry, critiqued by phoenix, photos, posters, visuals visuals visuals), but we can't trust what we see anymore by aa4, can we? we see an innocent girl and a diary page and think nothing is wrong with the picture. thank god for ema skye - now we can take those paintings drew misham made and look underneath, layer by layer, because we can't afford to trust the surface anymore, can't afford to trust our own eyes. phoenix decides we couldn't, anyway - what use is it to tell people to open their eyes when all they will see is the darkness of the law. what use is it when the lights in the courtroom are off and what remains is the merciless knock of the gavel. our eyes deceive us, everything is fake - forged pages, forged letters, forged paintings, forged cards, forged identities; all tricks, tricks, tricks, a magician with a shiny prop, a performance.

so what we are left with in the dark age of the law is the power to speak up, to paint pictures with music instead, like lamoir does: because music speaks to people's souls. music is not clear, music is emotion, music is something that touches your heart and makes you think. phoenix asks the court of they would even hear him out of he spoke up after he presents the forged page. the court says no. it takes seven years for him to get his voice back and scream "objection".

so when the only impact kristoph gavin can make is laughter, the only sound he can make, he makes sure it rings in the court for as long as it can.

A little theory I've had about Winter King's original motives based on his heartless comment about Betty and Ice King's original motives for kidnapping princesses in the first place...... clearly she gave off Bad Ex Vibes…

Lilia Vanrouge X Fem reader

18+ Minors do not interact.

Lilia cannot help but stare at your hips, your stomach, and the outline of your body. He has to try and pull his gaze away, but his mind is immediately wandering to the idea of pregnant you.

Lilia can't stop thinking about pushing your back against the bed, spreading your legs, and fucking you silly. Filling your womb with his cum, your mewls and cries falling upon deaf ears while he pushes his seed back inside of your abused hole for hours on end until it was certain to him that you would become impregnated.

Lilia can't stop thinking about your stomach swollen with his child, he can't stop picturing the way you would walk around all cute complaining about being sore while holding the bottom of your stomach where your womb is plump, because of him.

Lilia can't stop imagining you with a baby bump, he is so in love with the way it pokes past your hip line to the point it leaves a tingling the bottom of his stomach and his heart fluttering simply at picturing you waddling around due to the weight.

Lilia wants to endlessly pamper you- rubbing your feet, and your back, holding up the weight of his child that is safe inside your womb to give you short release.

Lilia's sexual desire is only amplified at the sight of you- laying you upon your back again to ravish you despite already succeeding in giving you a child. He mumbles in your ear how badly he wants to breed you with more of his children, whimpering as you seem to continuously suck him back in.

Lilia almost feels as if it's taboo, impregnating a human. Mixing the genes between himself and you is almost an addiction to him, he had grown up in the period where humans were seen in a poor light, yet here he was wishing to dominate you completely while you carry his children he knows will come out a mix of two species. It's like he had touched upon something forbidden, but he wasn't about to tell you anything. He truly loves you, and the simple fact that you were a human drove him wild.

Lilia had to avert his gaze from you and suppress these thoughts, it wasn't appropriate to be thinking such things in class. He quickly excused himself while wrapping his coat around his waist, rushing to the bathroom to release himself...

Lilia wasn't sure if he could look you properly in the eyes again without feeling immense guilt.

however, he didn't know you caught his glances from across the room, your thoughts eerily the same...<3 He'd find out soon enough.

The thing I love the most about Alastor is that we can't truly know what to think of him, if he is being truly manipulative or if there's a genuine undertone behind any of his words, and that allows people to interpret him differently from one person to another. Like "oh he's being so sweet and supportive", to "no actually he's just saying what people want to hear because he's an evil manipulator". Maybe some fans are being too trustful, just like Charlie, and falling into his lies. BUT maybe there's a true genuine undertone to everything he says, maybe he can be a sweetie behind his evil mask. And maybe he'll turn out redeemable. Or not at all. Who knows?

His character could go in two completely different directions in the next seasons and we have no way of telling how he'll turn out. It's still fully open because he showed he can be awful and evil and manipulative, but since there's been very few hints here and there that he could get attached to the hotel, that means he could be sweet despite all that. The mystery and uncertainty is keeping us thinking and hoping and I LOVE that. He's such a unique and amazingly written character.

On a personal note, I think the two different directions his character could take should coexist. Yes, he's going to be a main villain in the future seasons and betray Charlie and the hotel, yes he's an evil manipulator, BUT he could also get attached to them and show redeemable qualities at the same time. For me it would make the heartbreak even greater and his character even more satisfying.

So I have theory about Luo Binghe’s fake jade pendant.

(Major spoilers if you haven’t finished the book btw)

I was just reading a fic and author pointed out something about Luo Binghe’s pendant and how it’s a metaphor for Shen Yuan.

Looking back at the book, there are a lot of parallels between Shen Yuan and the necklace.

The pendant is a counterfeit jade carving of the god Guanyin.

Shen Yuan is a counterfeit of Shen Qingqiu, a powerful Peak Lord who dresses in jade colored robes.

Guanyin is noted to be associated with compassion, and Shen Yuan changes the entire fate of the world of Proud Immortal Demon Way by being compassionate.

Luo Bingmei ends his story with his one fake jade pendant while the extras specifically note that Luo Bingge has several real jade necklaces in his possession. Those necklaces are even called out to be fine grade and best money can buy.

Obviously the real jades are a metaphor for Bingge’s harem of peerlessly beautiful women while the fake jade, which has infinitely more value to him, represents Shen Yuan, aka Luo Bingmei’s one and only true love.

However I think there’s more to it than that.

If you track the pendant throughout the book, you’ll notice that Luo Binghe is only ever in possession of the pendant when Shen Yuan isn’t there. In fact, he actually loses the pendant shortly after Shen Yuan transmigrates into Shen Qingqiu. For the rest of the book, the pendant is in Shen Yuan’s possession, only returning to Luo Binghe at the climax.

But here’s the thing that’s strange about that scene: for whatever reason the System could not load the pendant when SQQ tried to summon it. At no other point in the book has the System have a problem loading things in.

So why is it when it does load in, it’s right as Shen Yuan dies for the third time?

My theory is that Shen Yuan is the pendant itself.

Now obviously Shen Yuan comes back and Binghe still has the pendant, but in the last couple scenes of the book, Shen Yuan is always right by Luo Binghe’s side.

Now I know that Shen Yuan was an actual person before dying and becoming Shen Qingqiu, so therefore he isn’t the necklace given human form. So how can Shen Yuan and the pendant be one and the same?

Well let’s go back to the aforementioned climax scene where the System cannot physically summon the pendant until Shen Yuan dies.

Seeing as how the System is essentially an AI and/or a computer program, this kind of issue reminds me of how a computer cannot open a file if another of the exact same file is already running.

I think, that when inserting Shen Yuan into PIDW, the System needed a way to tie his soul into its program and Shen Yuan’s fate to the protagonist. The System needed a physical entity to tie him down so it linked his code/soul to the fake jade pendant. That’s why Luo Binghe loses the pendant so soon after Shen Yuan transmigrates and why the System couldn’t load it in until Shen Yuan’s soul left his body because they’re part of the same file.

This is also evidenced by how when Shen Yuan dies the second time, out of all of his items, only the Jade pendant is kept in his inventory when he wakes up in the Sun and Dew Mushroom body.

Not to mention that Shen Yuan and the pendant have the same effect on Luo Binghe! The pendant has the ability to essientially shock Luo Binghe out of a qi deviation, but is only a one time use. But during Luo Binghe’s first qi deviation, Shen Yuan is able to do the exact same thing but doing so kills him. The pendant reduces Luo Binghe’s anger, and Shen Yuan is the only person in the world Luo Binghe will ever be soft and submittable to.

Tl’dr; The System tied Shen Yuan’s soul to the fake Guanyin pendant.
