Ranking the WOH based on how annoying their fans are

[fatummortem]

ㅤㅤBilly's brown eyes slightly widen briefly at that statement, his head turning to look at Daimon. This is a new side, he's uncertain if it means he should relax around the other man or be more wary. It does tell him that the fact he can grip the power of the Demiurge isn't known. Does he want it to be known? Semi Demiurge, as Loki had put it, is a lot easier than connecting to the Demiurge powers. He's experienced that first hand.

ㅤㅤHe takes the time to consider his response, even though his impulse is to brush it off. It's easier to be something he ignored even though it's an ever presence in his mind.

ㅤㅤ" I currently choose not to have that power. " He'd thought of picking up the name once, he'd even used it for a short period of time, but talking with his mother had caused him to realize a few things. " Are you looking to become an ally or a teacher? " Both? It feels like it would be both & something else. Something Billy can't quit put his finger on. " What kind of spells are you interested in teaching me? If that's your wish, I'd be interested..." A pause. "...to an extent. " He has to be careful with his spells, especially growing his powers. The last thing he wants is another 'Mother'.

Daimon was trying to think of ways to get on Billy's good side. Flirting was out of the question, it only riled up the young man until he was pushing Daimon away. That wouldn't do.

"You will need help if you are to become the Demiurge," he finally said. "Even the demiurge needs allies and teachers and people to watch his back. Your energy is not yet limitless, and it might never be."

How does Masaru & Hiro interact given how kind of different they view life & how to confront Digimon?

Well, the first, thank you for asking, even if you are anonymous!

For the question, it's a difficult one to answer, and I'm quite busy these days. But for a short answer:

Masaru certainly gets thrill at fighting, but he is not addicted to it or something. He won't bully someone or be violent for the sake of dominating and crushing the weak (basically, he obliviously hates Kouki for this). He may view his life as chances for fighting, but he has honor. Masaru specifically enjoys getting to fight against people causing trouble, or friendly fighting as a form of communication and acknowledging another as an equal. Masaru states several times that he wants to be strong specifically because he wants to protect his family and friends. So, I don't think he will be so annoyed at the way Hiro view life. Maybe some complaints here and there like "waste time to talk with them unnecessarily" if he is really discontented, but there won't be so much problem.

Hiro has a chill way of looking life. He calmly deals with problem, and he will fight if it is really, really necessary with him. But trying to defeat the enemy through battle is considered the last resort with Hiro. It's not that Hiro's never going to use it at all, but the thing is that Hiro would really, really like to not fight at all if possible, and especially not kill. However, he's and others definitely taking it to a point of absurdity – while certain very happy endings come out of this thanks to Hiro being perceptive and understanding, well… Hiro is a very naturally non-confrontational person, so he is going out of his way to avoid any kind of conflict as much as possible, to an abnormal state. But even so, Hiro has a kind of perceptiveness and understanding enough to try to understand Masaru's way of viewing life. Really, it's not like Hiro will complain, or be too much annoyed with anyone if they haven't done anything wrong.

Saying of that, in conclusion, Masaru and Hiro won't have too much difficulties in social interacting. There're certainly awkward times between them, but nothing so problematic. They are both 14 years old, after all. And it's not like they are too bad at social skills, at least not in such a terrible level that break relationship for Masaru. But I don't think they will be very close friends: their personalities are not very well mixed.

About the Digimon... Hiro has understood the need of killing Digimon after GulusGammamon, so although he will still check if violence is needed. But Masaru tends to go to battles too soon, and they will have "discussions". I will apply an open and positive mindset in Digimon writing way that Masaru and Hiro will try to find the best way to deal with Digimon. You can have your headcanons in how long and what way.

Anyway, we also should consider the context. If this is the '9Digi-Protagonists' context, I am quite sure others will prepare a plan to "improve" Masaru and Hiro's dynamic. Depending on the participation of Daisuke, Takuya and Tagiru, how well Taichi understands emotions and a bunch of other circumstances, everything will happen in a good or weird way.

As a gift, this is a drabble!

Masaru tilted his head at the scene at the park, with Agumon alongside him. Hiro was walking alongside him, holding Gammamon by his hands.

"Walking together in this place is a bit boring, don't you think so?" Masaru hummed, and Agumon chose to agree with him. "Well, I'd say aniki is right!"

Gammamon giggled at a dragonfly that decided to land on his nose before flying away. Hiro offered his "younger brother" some chocolates, and the Digimon seemed to enjoy his "Champion".

"Personally, I enjoy spending time like these moments. We almost don't have enough time just to relax together."

Enjoy it and tell me if there is anything wrong or weird in my whole post, my first asker!

[theoxenia]

The mutual relationship between mortals and the powerful beings with whom they interacted is frequently characterized by the concept of kharis. Kharis translates roughly as ‘delight, a pleasing thing’ and has the sense of ‘favor’ or, more precisely, ‘ good turn.’ It lies at the heart of what scholars view as Greek religious reciprocity. [...] The sense of reciprocity so evident in literature and epigraphical sources, however, often went beyond the ‘transactional’ towards exceptionally intimate and sentimental attachments. The idea of a protective divinity personally concerned with a human worshipper was already apparent in the Homeric poems, and Mary Lefkowitz comments that Sappho “describes a relationship with Aphrodite that appears to be both intense and personal.” Textual references refer to daimones and other sorts of helpful, and personal, spirits, while the visual arts show gods watching over their worshippers, much as Athena does with her potters. Those practicing Orphic or Bacchic burials hoped for a “closeness to the divine” that included divine protection in the afterlife. Equally close were those gods who came in dreams, described hovering at the shoulders of the dreamers with gentle smiles; in inscriptions, they were parastatai, gods who ‘stood beside’ their worshippers. Not only were such interactions marked by genuine affection, but there could be a physical aspect as well, with the divine figure touching the human figure with a hand. Anja Klöckner comments, “the closeness of the human-divine encounter finds its clearest expression when a god touches humans.”

LORE

LORE PLASE PLEASE LORE

PLEASE LORE ON UR FAN UNITS PLEASE

BEGGING SCREAMING CRYING SHAKING PLEASE LORE

IT CAN BE THE MOST SMALLEST CRUMB EVER BUT PLS PJSK FAN UNIT LORE PLEASE

WHAT ARE THE THEMES (like idols, band, etc.??)

I NEED NAMES AND ARE ANY OF THEM HEAVILY AFFILIATED WITH PJSK OG CHARACTERS?!?!

PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE

OKOKOK. PREPARE YOURSELF.

So the three fanunits are CR×SS COUNTDOWN, Syndr∞memime, and HOLOMAGORIA. C×C and S∞M were made at the same time so they have the same level of development, but HMGR was made a couple months after so it doesn't have as much work!!!

I'm always too shy to do canon character interactions so there are no og character affiliations!!! All of the characters go to an oc school called "Asakura Highschool" so I can have more freedom with the way the school works >:DD!!!

ALSO, the way SEKAI's work in this is that the SEKAI is formed from the unit leader's feelings and other people can enter and exit the SEKAI at will (so long as they "belong" in the eyes of the unit leader).

OK NOW THE UIITS AND CHARACTERS!!!

CR×SS COUNTDOWN

C×C as a whole is meant to be a band (except only one of them has any experience in the performance department), but it's mainly just a friend group most of the time. Their SEKAI is Junkyard SEKAI, which was made from the unit leader's (Towa's) desire to be free and rebel (and also his self loathing caused by years of people calling him "trash" and other variations of that)

The unit leader is Towa Miura, an aspiring rapper and rockstar! He's somewhat of a mix between Tsukasa Tenma and An Shirashi (but with none of the talent) personality wise, as he's very... He's got a bad case of "main character syndrome". He's very obsessed with becoming popular and unique and paving his own way in life, which is influenced by the bullying he's been through and his parents' nastiness (although he very much denies having any trauma or problems whatsoever and insists he's not been affected by this stuff at all). As previously mentioned, he actually really sucks and has no skill when it comes to actually being a rockstar (singing, dancing, rapping, writing lyrics, ect) but he's trying really hard and having a very fun time! His skill lies in his determination and his belief in other people; C×C getting together story is the dumbest thing I've ever written(/pos), and C×C was assembled through sheer force of will on his part. Boyfailure. Emoji: 🔥

The second person to join is Kotora Sasaya, whose only here because Towa stalked him for a week and then did a really shitty rap outside his house at 3am. Kotora is very much an introvert who doesn't really care about other people and things like success, he just kinda does his own thing. Towa recruited him because quote "he's a cool aloof guy! That's exactly what a band needs!", and he prefers to work on background things (audio mixing, mv creation, ect). He means well but he also has a really terrible way of showing people he cares and trying to help people (which has caused several problems but also works sometimes); he unfortunately learned how to make friends from Towa which means he just pissed people off until they try to kill him, which shockingly worked twice. He's very deadpan and doesn't show his emotions much but he's also a major prankster who likes to say confusing things just to catch people off guard. He's very smart but plays dumb just for funsies. Emoji: 🐅

The third member is Ayataka Daimon, who just got out of juvie and who just wants to have fun with friends! He's a very intimidating and scary looking guy despite his best efforts not to be, as he's very physically imposing and also has really bad social skills. He tends to yell all the time and also his love language is fighting (bad combo) and also he's like 6'5 (makes things worse for him). He's actually a very friendly and social person with a very big heart, but all his attempts to make friends come off as bullying (like what happened with Takane). Due to his time in juvie, he's dedicated himself to having as much fun as possible now that he's out: he's enjoying learning new skills, making friends, and decorating things (dying his hair, painting his room, ect). Emoji: 🍰

The final member to join is Takane Sunagawa (rip yellow text), who is kinda like a second unit leader (like An or Mafuyu). Takane's the only one with any experience (he's a major weeb hikikomori who spent his year in isolation learning how to sing and dance to Hatsune Miku music) in performance, so he's the one who teaches the others how to actually achieve their dream of becoming a proper band. Takane is the most troubled of the members at the start of their story (and also technically the reason that C×C was properly formed), as he went back to school after self-isolating for a year due to an incident that happened at the end of grade nine that he felt responsible for (it's major for three characters so I'm going to talk about it separately and later) and then immediately paniced upon seeing both Ayataka and Shiki (the two others involved in the incident) and tries to drop out again, prompting Towa to try and smooth things over so that Takane can come to school and join his band. He's very anxious and quite shy, but he gets better with help! Emoji: 🍋

The story of C×C is that all the members lowkey hate themselves and help eachother to get more confident and to make their own place in life. After the initial awkwardness between Takane's whole everything, Kotora hating everyone, and Ayataka and Towa lacking any skills, they become a very tightnit group of friends with the best relationship with eachother amoung the fan units! Unit emoji: ❌

Syndr∞memime

S∞M is a support group except none of these people are qualified to give support to eachother because they can't even support themselves (they try though!). The best way to describe the feeling that created the Manor SEKAI is "hatred" and boy do these kids have a lot of hatred! The unit leader (Shiki) initially has the most hatred in the group, but comes to have basically no hatred which is what made him realise that he has a lot more problems than he thought.

Shiki Kikumori is the unit leader, and the best way to describe him is "a weird guy". He enjoys coming off as "mysterious" and "unnapproachably cool" except nobody approaches him because they think he's a major weirdo and also he won't stop cryptically talking about revenge. He pretends to be secretive, except he's very much an open book and it's quite easy to tell what he's feeling and thinking (if he doesn't outright go into a monologue about it). The target of his hatred is Ayataka, because Ayataka stabbed out his eye and got him sent to boarding school around a year ago. He spends the first half of his story scheming to destroy Ayataka after finding out he's at Asakura too, only to discover the whole thing was a major misunderstanding on literally everyone's part, and then having a small emo crisis. He acts a lot smarter and cooler than he is, but he's not really fooling anyone. He's also really bad at posing and always stands like a jojo character. Emoji: 🦋/👁️

Ikuro Suzui is the second member and the most put together at the start, worst put together as time goes on. He presents himself as a "non-person" where he doesn't have any strong opinions or emotions (other than joy) and mirrors how other people think and feel (he gets better though!). He's generally very friendly and outgoing (to a somewhat unnatural extent), and always surrounds himself with other people and tries to make friends. He's very much a romantic at heart and the type of person to fall in love with anyone whose remotely nice to him. He seems quite confident but he's actually very insecure (especially when it comes to relationships), so he tries really hard to people-please. He somewhat micromanages S∞M's support group idea because he sincerely wants to make the other members happy, but Meguru especially supports him and makes sure he doesn't take on too much. Emoji: 🐳

Member three is Momoka Nomura, who is quite complicated. She's similar to Takane in the sense that she's the most troubled of the S∞M members. Momoka has a bad reputation for having an explosive temper and being very difficult to get along with, so she didn't have any friends before S∞M and struggles a lot to maintain relationships. She sincerely WANTS to have friends and to connect with others, but she tends to explode over minor things too often and self sabotage all her relationships (and self sabotage in general). Aside from her loneliness, she also has very bad depression and often has suicidal thoughts: she finds it nearly impossible to look on the bright side of things and is prone to excessive worrying. With the help of her friends in S∞M she's able to better manage her emotions and thoughts, and she's able to make friends outside of S∞M (Ayataka, Rikoto, Anzu). She enjoys costume design and sewing, so she makes lots of outfits for S∞M and her other friends. Emoji: 🌸

The final member of S∞M is Meguru Tsuchiko, student council president and top student of Asakura Highschool whose using S∞M to help let out her emotions and stress. In public she's very well-put together: a model student whose kind and helpful, excelling in her studies and in extracurriculars, and beloved and praised by teachers. However, underneath that perfect persona is a regular highschooler who just wants to express herself and relax a bit. She has a good understanding of "what's healthy and what's not", so she's the most professional when it comes to helping the other S∞M members. She's a lot more serious and downbeat than her public persona, but she tends to express her emotions more freely that way. She's a huge fan of metal music and music in general, so she was the one that suggested the group take advantage of SEKAI to let out their feelings through music. Emoji: 🎩/🪄

As what I'm pretty sure you could tell, all of S∞M's members have a lot of emotional problems. They all help eachother work through their respective issuses and to become happier with life. They're the most... Tumultuous, group relationship wise (following Ikuro3 and Shiki2/3 especially), but nonetheless they stick together and grow from eachother. Unit emoji: ♾️

HOLOMAGORIA

(No unit logo yet sadly)

HMGR as mentioned previously has the least amount of development. The theme of the unit is "fairytales", and their SEKAI is Storybook SEKAI (it would've been more fitting to call it "Wonderland SEKAI" because of the unit leader's Alice In Wonderland theme but that's already taken), which is basically a big mystical library! Much like C×C, the unit leader's goal is to become a famous music star and the group is focused on music production. Where they differ is that HMGR is more similar to Nightcord where the members post music anonymously online.

Tokino Amanai is the unit leader. She's very passionate about music and has a very idealistic view on life; she very much believes in "happy endings" and that all villains are friends you don't understand yet. That being said, she is absolutely and utterly terrified by people and the world in general, and can hardly manage to speak let alone sing. She mapped out the entire school year of days that she'd need to go in order to pass so that she can spend as little time at school as she can. Her ultimate goal is to become an idol, but her lack of confidence holds her back alot so she formed HMGR with Rikoto to gain confidence and experience. Emoji: 🐇/♣️

Rikoto Matsunari is almost a secondary unit leader, and very important to the story of HMGR. She's the leader of the Asakura cooking club, and a very kind and energetic girl who takes 0 shit from anyone. She vowes to help Tokino achieve her dream of becoming an idol at any cost, suggested the two form HMGR (so Tokino wasn't publishing music alone), and suggested anonymously posting music online under a fake name. She's somewhat of the "face" of the group, as she's the one who does most of the management and networking work. She's very dependable and well-liked amoung her fellow students and has a lot of friends. She is the lesbian of all time. Emoji: 🍫

Anzu Kuboniwa is the third member and also very... If she were an official character in Proseka she'd be widely hated and demonized is how I'd describe it. To rip off the bandaid, she's the main cause for Ikuro's issues. She joined HMGR because she thought it'd be a good way to get attention/to be loved, but gradually comes to genuinely enjoy making music and love the other HMGR members. She's a very confident and a strong willed person who gets into arguments often: she doesn't tolerate anyone speaking ill and isn't afraid to voice her opinions at all. She's generally very playful and somewhat mischievous. Emoji: [none yet]

Here's where things get complicated. You remember how I said earlier that HMGR isn't very developed? Yeah so the fourth member is the biggest issue when it comes to that. And by that I mean the fourth member has maybe a name, the color green, and absolutely nothing else. I've been tossing around concepts in my head but unfortunately I haven't landed on something I like, so for now, we're just going to have to skip over her :(.

The story of HMGR is (so far) Tokino working on becoming an idol and the group as a whole making music. Unit emoji: 📖

————

And so yeah! That covers it! There's still a lot of story to share and also a lot to work on, but I'm happy with what I've done so far :D!

Whether we talk about angels, daimons, djinns, fairies, or any other of such beings, they all hold something in common, despite their difference in appearance, namely, they are all archetypal images of the same fundamental pattern, the archetype of the ethereal being. These spirits coexist with us; they just exist at another level of reality. The archetype in itself cannot be seen, only when it has been brought into consciousness through ritual, myth, and the culture of each country, does the ethereal being take on a particular personified form, and gains a specific purpose.

Ethereal beings are also referred to as subtle bodies, that is, as existing in-between the corporeal and the incorporeal realms. We too have subtle bodies, as we exist both on the material and spiritual levels. The difference is that ethereal beings experience reality primarily on a spiritual level, while we experience it on a material level, but that does not exclude the possibility of them interacting in our realm, nor us interacting in their realm.

Eternalised: In Pursuit of Meaning

[khaire-traveler]

Kharie!

If it us not hard for you, what would you recommend to someone, who wants to build a relationship with Deity that is less known? Like rarely spoken daimons or primordials? With twelve Olympians, King Hades and who surrounds Them is pretty simple, because there is enough information on Their cults and worship, but, that happened that I feel connection not with Them, but with more, let's say, raw side, like Tartarus, Hemera, Aether, Erebus, children of Eris, and while practicing what I generally know about Hellenism does help, I do feel rather disconnected with most of the community because of that, not only dew to my choice of Gods, also dew to the fact that there is not much information, or even any.

I come with, maybe, some desperation. If you have some time and energy, can you say what is recommended to do to connect with Them and community?

Many thanks, my friend, if you will answer.

Khaire, Nonny! Apologies for the lateness; 2024 was wild for me, and I wasn't able to answer a lot of asks. ^^;;;

Regarding this, it's hard for me to say because most of the deities I worship are rather well-known. The best advice I can think to offer is reading and researching as best as you can. Take notes, and keep track of the information you've gathered. Unfortunately, a lot of your practice may have to be built up from the basic Helpol foundations and based around UPG. You may have to do a lot of things based on what feels right or what your interactions with your deities are like. I wish I had a better answer for you, but I'm not well-versed in worshipping lesser-known deities. :(

As for connecting with the community, I personally find a lot of my connections from discord servers and interacting with people on Tumblr. Servers are pretty useful, and even if people don't worship the same deities, you can often still find a lot of support there! I know @olympianbutch has a Helpol reconstructionist server; you may find some good resources there! There's also a nice server called The Acropolises that's been very welcoming and helpful as well. c:

If anyone has better advice, please share it! I'm a bit out of my element here. ☠️

I hope you're well, Nonny, and best of luck to you on your journey! Take care. 🧡

Scott lore please? 🥺

This might be more Xornoth lore than anything, but it counts.

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

The gods used to mock of HaTO!Scott's and HaTO!Xornoth's story by calling them "The Gemini"

Scott wasn't, at first, planned. He was given as a blessing to his mortal father by Aphrodite the same day his mortal father's wife gave birth to Xornoth.

They were twins, in the most confusing sense. With one being a demigod and one being full mortal.

Due to them spending so much time together in childhood, Xornoth was slowly introduced to the godly side of the world despite being mortal.

Of course, he'd be jealous of Scott in the end, given that his brother was given the opportunity to directly interact with said magical world while he can't.

When Scott left for Camp Empires, Xornoth striked up a deal with Eris who found him in the most vulnerable state. Selfishly, he even tied his life to Scott's just so he could take over his body as soon as he takes over everything.

After all, it's not like he wanted to stay a spirit forever.

Scott could only color himself surprised and heartbroken when he realizes the "Daimon" that had started terrorizing the camp during his first year there was actually his brother.

During the defeat of Xornoth, Zeus offered the dying twins a decision; for Scott to either give up the rest of his mortality to save Xornoth, who will be immediately imprisoned into Tartarus after, or for Xornoth to give up and let himself dissipate into the void of Chaos.

It was either one of them only lives to suffer in imprisonment or it was both of them left to die, with one bound to be forgotten by the world. It was obvious both decisions were hated by both twins.

So, instead, Xornoth chose to give up. Just in a way the gods wouldn't expect.

He gave up the rest of whatever's left of his immortality to save Scott himself as his first and last apology.

So Scott could almost be counted of equal standing to the lesser deities now as he carries a part of a forgoteen spirit with him, but at what cost really?

[traegorn]

Demon comes from Greek Daimon which are just spirits not of this earth that interact with humanity, right?

So here's the thing - yes, the English demon comes from the Latin daemon which came from the Greek daimon -- and daimon just means "spirit."

But in English, it specifically means an evil spiritual entity, and it came over via the Christian church.

Etymologies are helpful when we're talking about what a word means in historical context, yes -- but when we're talking about what a word means now or in a language that borrows it... the root's meanings are less important than the accepted, cultural meaning of the word.

The word clue came from the Old English word cliewen, which means "ball of thread/yarn," but the game Clue ain't about knitting.

People like to look for secret meanings in words, but the truth is words mean whatever everyone agrees they mean -- and in many cases "whatever the person was trying to say when they used them."

[kiirostarz]

That interaction between Rhys and Kulu was soooo adorable 🥺. Especially considering that Rhys almost never gets the spotlight or any real focus… it felt like a little unexpected gem. And… I’m gonna take this chance to do a lil' mini-mini Rhys analysis.

I think the intention was to connect Kulu with a more central character, and now that I think about it, with Rhys' young, explosive, and slightly chaotic personality, it's actually not such a random combo. I would definitely give them a little mini-ship—though more from Rhys' side, because that conversation didn’t feel entirely casual… at least not from him. I know that boy. That’s not a normal talk for him. It was genuine, nervous, sweet. Like he was surprised by her. Kulu might not actually be interested (she's a Hypogean who's who-knows-how-old), but it was Rhys’ reaction that really caught me off guard.

And on top of that, I realized something: right now, Rhys is probably the only teenage (boy 🚹) character in AFK Journey. Well, you could argue Ludovic too, but since he’s Graveborn, technically he lived much longer—he did die young, yes, but he doesn’t really count as a "kid" anymore (even if he still feels like one to me 😆). So that leaves Rhys as the only one.

And not only that—he’s also the most solitary child in the game. Here’s what I mean:

Damian has Korin,

Koko and Satrana have Antandra,

Daimon has Niru and Shemira,

Rowan and Cassadee have family (even if they haven’t appeared yet),

Fay likely has Valen,

Marilee lives with her grandparents and younger siblings,

Hewynn is with Florabelle and the rest of the Forest folks,

Alsa and Soren are orphans, yes, but they’re older and have support from Brutus, Kruger—Soren even has Walker. And when they were younger, they had their father too, so they weren’t completely alone.

But Rhys… has no one. The closest thing is that little group of kids we see in Song of Strife, but even then it’s unclear if he has any adult figure in his life. One girl mentions her house being a mess ever since her mom left, which implies that she might return—or maybe she never will. Same with many other adults around there.

Rhys is described as a kind of “hero” to those kids. Someone who helps them survive. But that can also create distance. Being a protector isn’t the same as having a home. It’s not belonging—it’s responsibility. And no kid should have to carry that alone.

In the first season, he showed up briefly. And for a character that’s been around since the beginning, that felt like a missed opportunity. We know he used to be part of the Quicksand Claws, but not how he ended up there. According to his affinity stories, he doesn’t even like hurting people. Maybe his ability to communicate with birds is what kept him around. Not because he wanted to be there, but because it was survival. And in the Ashen Wastes, hugs and kindness don’t keep you alive. Sometimes not even adults make it. Let alone a kid on his own.

Another thing that stuck with me was the part where we follow Soren and meet Walker. It wasn’t bad, really. But I think that dynamic would’ve worked even better with Rhys. If one of the goals was to bring down the Quicksand Claws, why not use someone from the inside? Even if he was just the bird feeder, that could’ve opened up so much more for Rhys. Rhys and Walker together would’ve been such an interesting combo—both lone wolves, tough on the outside, soft inside. That kind of emotional connection did get explored with Soren, but I think it would’ve hit even harder with Rhys.

Not saying I hated what we got—this was just the first season, after all. It’s just my little opinion.

[chipchopclipclop]

i have finished death mark 2...... thoughts.....

general thoughts is the overall story was.... BAD. LOL.

I'll start with the good. The interactions between Yashiki and alot of the returning cast i really liked, the writing especially in the first few chapters. An example being alot of Yashiki and Daimon's chatter, especially the whole weight of saving lives things that comes back at the end, alot of it was quite sweet and heartwarming similarly between him and other mark bearer characters.

^^^ BEST CG EVARRRRR....

I liked the choice of Hiroo and Mashita being the two that come in when he's at his lowest, their curtness and refusal to take his attitude was really refreshing, felt really like what he needed at the time lol. In that same vein i enjoyed his characterization alot in the early-mid game, and how it develops. He's such a sensitive guy lollll and it comes through well with how much he cares but near the latter chapters it kind of.... sours.

Though there were a few new characters i liked his interactions with, Abe and Maruhashi specifically i found endearing of the new cast, Alot of them just Die. Or theyre Hime and Michiho AKA the bane of my fucking existence with this game.

They are the two pushed front and center and it is truly its worst aspect, as characters they're shallow personality wise and though you could say that about others in the cast, them being in love with Yashiki on top of it makes it so much worse.

They barely have any scenes where they actually properly interact and feel like they bond at all but for some reason im expected to believe they're suddenly in love with him?? -and in the end they were also dead the whole time, and not even themselves. So it wasn't even real, and somehow any of this is meant to hold any weight to the audience...?? explaining it as the ghosts being desperate for him instead doesnt really make it.. any more compelling (lol the scene at the end where hes like maybe they just wanted those beautiful normal school days they spent by me.... when did that happen yashiki)

I understand Yashiki is probably saddened by the deaths of two young girls but they're treated with so much more weight and gravitas than anyone else in the cast and its so unearned, especially when alot of the other ghosts are somehow way more compelling in that aspect.

He also becomes borderline ooc around them like in what world am i expected to believe he emotionally dumps his burdens on the two highschool girls he barely knows because of how sad he is when hes got like how many other people he knows FROM THE OTHER GAMES he could do that with...????? (AND BASICALLY DOES... ALREADY...?) and it lifts his heart like truly wtf was i reading. HE WOULD NOT FUCKING SAY THAT.JPG

Chapter six is really where it falls off the cliff with this, after hanging out with Hiroo, Mashita and Yasuoka and solving that case they just dissapear from the narrative for a day so he can......... hang out with michiho...?? i couldn't even enjoy murder yashiki in this game because of how ludicrous it felt that the rest of yashiki's companions just dissapeared to make it happen, and no one calls or anything lmfao. I cant imagine how much more compelled i would have felt if he was dealing with that situation with any of the other three around instead of HIME. LIKE I AM ACTUALLY SO INCENSED ABOUT THIS SCENARIO BEING RUINED SO HARD WHEN IT COULD BE SO GOOD BUT I DIGRESS (RIPPING MY HAIR OUT) (CRYING BC I LOVE BLOOD AND HORROR)

Even the first two games weren't as bad as writing women as this!? EVEN IF I HAD TO SEE MASSIVE TITS ON SCREEN THEY WEREN'T TRYING TO JUMP ON YASHIKI AS WELL AS A CENTRAL PLOT POINT (lol kakuya) congrats exp you have outdone yourself with the misogyny.

To continue on the topic of new characters, it feels like so many of them were given so little screen time to make you actually care about them. For how prominent Abe is he barely actually does anything, and Maruhashi instantly dissapears when shes no longer a red herring. On top of this game basically killing off any other character that appears, its hard to get invested in them as characters at all.

You have no opportunities to actually effect their fate as you do in the other two games, so there's even less attempt to immerse you there. Horikoshi comes the closest behind the other two but its because her case with Hanako was easily the strongest and most resonant of the game (lgbt win). Its not even like this is the first time Yashiki saves the lives of kids and bonds with them after, especially with the caveat of being a teacher, like how did you fuck this premise up so bad.

They either needed to commit to more scenes and writing in general to attach you to the new characters or just not have any returning ones show up so prominently if they're not also going to further interact with them.

The overall mystery suffers for it, and while i like the twist of the doll being helpful in this game actually, it is so easy to guess michiho and hime are the departed, and i already didn't even like them so it doesn't hit at all emotionally. Like, i was not feeling very betrayed or anything lol.

Further critiques -> though running around is very fun, the horror in this game really didn't at all compare to the others with the loss of that first person perspective for alot of the exploration, sad.

I also feel like we got more horny shit than we did in NG which is also like lol one step forwards two steps back. Even the gore wasn't as good............... kind of mid in every regard there. I did like the mushroom and scissor stuff, but the bugs and mold ended up just kind of ..... eh...

Mary continues to be the best antag in these games, she slayed and she continues to keep slaying. The sisters were really kind of a letdown in the end, especially since i think i could have enjoyed it if they pulled them off better.

As for my yaoi cocaine score though thats a 10/10 they made yashiki and mashita meow and hiss like cats in this game for some reason, i genuinely think that shattered my mind a little.

I also can't believe they gave us these two panting in unison asmr as well so you could make your own [REDACTED] if you wanted. The departed getting jealous mashita was standing next to him in that one confrontation too like she's calling him a homewrecker..... lol...... also the part where mashita jokes abt him keeping the gun and if you make yashiki go 'then i will 😇' and him immediately backpedaling like okay i was kidding. give it back. very moe very powerful.

I feel like the entire time mashita was on screen he was basically acting as yashiki's brain to keep him from getting too lost in his emotional attachments, truly everyone needs a bitch wife to keep them sane.

TL:DR this game could be so good (average) if it wasn't so fucking badDDDDDDDDDDDD easily the worst entry in this series...... dont buy it unless its on sale for 4 bucks (this applies to every game) or just watch in on youtube lol.

anyway. beautiful yashiki collection. I CANT BELIEVE MASHITA DIDNT GET A BAD END CG ACTUALLY < / 3 BUT YASHIKI'S IS REALLY GOOD < / 3 SMALL WINS < / 3

DR Characters Assigned DC Roles

The main premise of this is that Shuichi Saihara as Robin 3 is both dating civilian Kokichi Oma as Bernard Dowd and flirting/being flirted with by his alter ego Stray. Shuichi has no idea Kokichi is Stray but Kokichi definitely knows Shuichi is Robin 3. What order do these events happen in? Who knows!

The Bats and Birds

Batman (The Bat): Kyoko Kirigiri

Agent A: Makoto Naegi

Robin 1, Nightwing: Kaede Akamatsu

Robin 2, Red Hood: Hajime Hinata

Robin 3, Red Robin: Shuichi Saihara

Spoiler, Robin 4, Batgirl (Batboy): Kaito Momota

Robin 5: Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu

Batgirl, Oracle: Chiaki Nanami

Black Bat, Batgirl, Orphan: Maki Harukawa

Batwoman: Aoi Asahina

Signal: Yasuhiro Hagakure

The Cats

Catwoman: Celestia Ludenberg

Stray & Bernard Dowd: Kokichi Oma

The Rogues

Joker: Junko Enoshima

Punchline: Mukuro Ikusaba

Harley Quinn: Toko Fukawa

Poison Ivy: Komaru Naegi

Blackmask: Mondo Owada

Penguin: Kiyotaka Ishimaru

Scarecrow: Miu Iruma

Bane: Nekomaru Nidai

Mr. Freeze: Teruteru Hanamura

Riddler: Hifumi Yamada

Mad Hatter: Angie Yonaga

Deathstroke: Tsumugi Shirogane

The League of Assassins

Ra's al Ghul: Haiji Towa

Talia al Ghul: Korekiyo Shinguji

Prudence Wood: Peko Pekoyama

The Outlaws

Starfire: Sonia Nevermind

Arsenal: Nagito Komaeda

Bizarro: Ibuki Mioda

Teen Titans

Beast boy: Gundham Tanaka

Raven: Himiko Yumeno

Wonder girl: Tenko Chabashira

Superboy 1 a.k.a Conner Kent (Supergirl): Akane Owari

Kidflash: Mahiru Koizumi

Cyborg: K1b0

Aquaboy (Aquagirl): Hiyoko Saionji

Superboy 2 a.k.a. Jonathan Kent: Masaru Daimon

The Justice League

Superman (Superwoman): Sakura Ogami

Wonder Woman: Kirumi Tojo

Green Arrow: Byakuya Togami

Aquaman: Leon Kuwata

Martian Manhunter: Ultimate Imposter

Green Lantern: Kazuichi Soda

Captain Marvel: Nagisa Shingetsu

Flash: Chihiru Fujisaki

Zatanna: Sayaka Maizono

Black Canary: Mikan Tsumiki

Most of these characters have been assigned DC roles based on their personalities, regardless of gender (except for Superboy and Bizarro since they're clones of Superman so have to be the same gender as him)! I included some Rogues, League of Assassins, Outlaws, Teen Titans and Justice Leaguers because the Batfam interact with them a lot.

In my mind, Kyoko Kirigiri is together with Makoto Naegi and has been for the long term but her as the Bat and Celestia Ludenberg as Catwoman share some flirtatious banter.

Hajime Hinata as Robin 2 died and came back, and when he did he came back different. How much you want to lean into Jason Todd's backstory or Hajime Hinata's and whether you want to include Izuru Kamukuru is up to you.

Kaito Momota may or may not have had an unsuccessful romantic relationship with Shuichi when he was Spoiler and Shuichi was Robin 3. This can be prior to Shuichi meeting Kokichi or Robin 3 and Stray could have had some playful banter going on during this time (this works because Shuichi actually dates civilian Kokichi, which could be after he and Kaito break up). Kaito could be with Maki now!

Yes, this character assignment does mean that Masaru Daimon is Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu's best friend. Yes, that is hilarious.

I was running out of DR characters near the end so I started swapping some around to find suitable Justice Leaguers. Masaru was originally Captain Marvel but then that only left Kotoko Utsugi as an option for Superboy 2 and I thought Fuyuhiko would hate her. So, Masaru became Superboy 2 and Nagisa Shingetsu Captain Marvel. Byakuya Togami was originally assigned as Lucius Fox, the manager of WE, but I had to swap him to Green Arrow because he was just too perfect for that!

I hope you enjoyed! Please like, comment and reblog. Your support is much appreciated.

celebrating hekate’s deipnon for the first time 🗝️

───── ⋆⋅⚝⋅⋆ ─────

helloo happy deipnon!!

so today i celebrated hekate’s deipnon for the first time!! i’m going to start properly worshipping lady hekate since i’ve been interested in her for a while but never got around to actually including her in my practice.

i don’t have a proper altar right now and won’t have one for a while as i’m moving houses but i still lit some incense for her, read a hymn, and gave her a digital drawing.

i physically and energetically cleansed my room. then i reflected on the past month and planned for april.

finally, i went out onto my roof at night, introduced myself to lady hekate, and talked to her!! i spoke to lord khonsu too because i also want to worship him now. i’m very excited to start interacting with and building a relationship with them.

i’m hoping to celebrate noumenia and agathos daimon too. :)

(Master) Monster Maker

Cost: 15 SP

You can fabricate and augment monsters via charges. Utilizing one charge allows you to design a creature with assorted characteristics and capacities, with a most of 10 charges required for the most capable and intricate creations, which can even rival the strongest parahumans. You will receive one charge per day and can store a maximum of 20 charges. Instead of constructing a fresh creature, one can also employ a charge to upgrade an existing one, with diminishing returns. (Master) Golem

Cost: 13 SP

You can animate statues of creatures, humans, or animals. Their abilities are based on the creature the statue was based on. No matter what their durability is that of the material they're formed from. A wooden statue of a Phoenix will still be weak to fire due to the material it's made of. Strength also increases with the size of the statue and how detailed it looks. A metal statue of a dragon the size of Lady Liberty could go toe to toe with any of the Endbringers. (Master) Love at First Sight

Cost: 8 SP

You can make one person at a time fall deeply in love with you. They can realize they're being Mastered, and their reaction to this depends on their personality, the situation, and their past interactions with you. (Trump) Power Seed

Cost: 15 SP

You may give someone a random 1 SP power with a theme of your choice that will grow with them at a rate of 1 SP/week. It will grow based on their actions and experiences, and will try to suit their needs similar to Dynamist Jr. When a seed hits 15 SP, it is no longer budding and it is now mature. When a seed matures, then it will stop growing at an enhanced rate, but it will continue to grow and adapt forever as if it were shardless. You may plant these seeds on an unlimited amount of people, but a single person can only have one budding seed at a time. At any point you may chose to take the power back, though it will lose it's enhanced growth rate as if is mature. You may have any number of these powers active at 50% power, but only one at 100%. (Trump) Wheel of Fortune

Cost: 15 SP

You have three slots that every 24 hours will roll new powers; they can range from being very weak to decently strong, and every six days you gain 15 charges. For the cost of one charge, you can use it to re-roll a single power, and you can use two charges to determine either how powerful the power will be or what type of power it will be, or you can use three charges to determine both how powerful it will be and what type of power it will be, though that can only be done once per power slot every six days. (Trump) Counter Attack Specialist

Cost: 13 SP

When you activate this power, you are able to choose a single Parahuman near you and receive a power tailored to neutralize the target's power. The power created has a maximum strength of 10sp. The power stays for up to 24 hour and you can instantly switch target to change your power. You can also drop a power at any time. (Trump/Striker) Supportive Copier

Cost: 11 SP

By touching a Parahuman you can grant them a 25% temporary boost to the strength of their power.

This boost will last a week during which you will also have a lesser version of their power at your disposal to use, at a quarter of the original's baseline capabilities. You can only have three copied powers at a time, though you can dismiss copies early to free up capacity.

Finally, touching someone else will allow you to give them a copy of one of your current copied powers as well, this copy will also last a week starting at the moment it was shared. You can’t give someone a copy of their own power or multiple copies of the same power. Giving people copies of your copied powers has no affect on your versions of those powers.

If you dismiss one of your current copied powers you can choose whether or not that also removes the power boost from the Parahuman you copied from, and any copies of that power you might’ve shared with other (Trump) Daimon

Cost: 10 SP

You can draw from the powers of Parahumans around you. This happens because within a 30-meter radius, you slowly draw [Energy] and copy [Data] from their Shards. Now, Shards are rather stingy with these so the higher yours is ranked the more and quicker you gain.

Through this ability, you can summon powers from these Shards, the strength, quality, and duration of which are all based on those you've drawn from. In the instant you choose to use your stored [Energy] and [Data], your power simulates a Trigger giving you a power for however long you have stored [Energy]. Stronger powers use up [Energy] quickly while weaker powers can last quite some time.

This manifestation, nevertheless, is not without limits; you can only keep up to three powers at a time. Even though discarding a power can allow you to save up [Energy] and [Data], the next time you draw from that stored [Energy] you'll manifest a new power altogether.

(If you have a Normal Shard, Shards will only send largely junk [Data] at a rate that would take 1 hour to retrieve the equivalent of 1 SP and enough [Energy] for 1 minute of a weak power. If you have a Vital Shard, Shards will only send partial junk [Data] at a rate that would take 20 minutes to retrieve the equivalent of 1 SP and enough [Energy] for 3 minutes of a weak power. If you have a Noble Shard, then Shards will never send junk [Data] at a rate that would take 5 minutes to retrieve the equivalent of 1 SP and enough [Energy] for 5 minutes of a weak power.) (Trump) Sleep Empowered

Cost: 10 SP

You get powers at a rate of 1 SP an hour as long as you’re asleep. These powers are reset every time you go back to sleep restarting the cycle from the beginning. You think of a general concept/desire for a power before you sleep and get something that at least somewhat fits that when you wake. The strength limit on powers you can get is equivalent to a maximum of 10 sp per power. You can create multiple powers at once though that divides the SP generation between them with powers you desired most being prioritized. You can not create more than 10 powers during a sleep cycle. You can fall asleep on demand and don’t wake up before you want unless you are in active danger. You cannot make Trump powers that permanently empower yourself with other powers or alter Sleep Empowered’s rules. (Trump/Thinker) Tuning Field

Cost: 9 SP

You have a 100-meter field around you in which you can sense a variety of particle movements, wavelengths, and chemical reactions. Your power automatically filters out the useless information and focuses primarily on enemy movements and parahuman-generated effects. The closer an effect is to you, the greater detail you can perceive it in.

If you perceive an effect for enough time, you can begin to reverse engineer its composition. You have a secondary Thinker power which allows you to understand how to find flaws inside these compositions, and you can alter a secondary field around your body to the exact makeup to counter any effects.

This means that the longer an effect is used on/near you, the less effective it is against you until you become immune to it completely. More complex abilities take longer to adapt to, up to several hours for the most complex. Absolute abilities, such as Sting, cannot be adapted to.

These effects don't have to be parahuman in nature. For example, you could tune in to be immune to a normal flamethrower.

Your resistance works on the core mechanics of the powers themselves, so if you encounter a power that works on similar principles to one you are already immune to, you will likely have resistance to the ability.

Furthermore, your understanding of the inner workings of parahuman abilities makes you an expert on their exact usage and function. You can find new and creative applications of almost any power you encounter, as well as identify niche weaknesses that the user wouldn't ever normally encounter. For example, you might find out the true use of Parian's power within a couple of minutes of being around her while she uses the ability.

If you have any other powers/abilities, you can alter them to work more effectively against specific parahuman effects that you have tuned to without reducing their power. (Trump) Just the Thing

Cost: 9 SP

When you activate this power, you get a power designed to solve a problem of your choice. The power is only of the same strength as a 5 SP or less power, but it's specifically designed to help with the problem you present to it. The power stays for up to one day and you cannot use (Trump) Just the Thing again until the old power is gone. You can drop a power at any time. (Trump) Inversion

Cost: 8 SP

You can invert the effects of any power you see and lasts until it leaves your vision. This does not work based on perception, so inverting the effects of a punch will not heal you, instead turning it from a blunt attack into a slashing or piercing attack. Powers that work specifically by damaging parts of your body via unknown means will instead heal you. All or Nothing powers will instead be nullified and not do anything.

If i'm a Scorpio rising but my lord of geniture is Jupiter, am I ruled by Mars or by Jupiter?

First of all, I recommend Demetra George's book¹, where she goes into depth about all these different types of Hellenistic "lords" and "masters".

The ruler of the Ascendant and the first house signifies the person, it's more likely to point to things related to health, appearance, temperament, mind and life focus. Its placement, its relationship to the rest of the chart and aspects will point to where and how the native will find themselves frequently in their life, with those things being very central or defining of their personal narrative. If you have a planet conjunct your ascendant ruler or a very close aspect it could represent another person who's always there in your life, or some thing that's more present in your story than anything else.

But the ascendant ruler is not necessarily the strongest planet in your chart. Sometimes the native will have a 10th house ruler that's a lot stronger; and this could cause, let's say, the personal to be less imperative than the professional. But this doesn't mean that the 10th house ruler won't mean anything about who you are.

Throughout the history of astrology, all authors disagreed on the correct way to elect the most influential or most important planet in a nativity. "Lord of the Geniture" is what William Lilly (17th century England) called his own version of it while offering his point of view on that concept. Here's what he said:

I am cleerly of this opinion, viz. That Planet who hath most essentiall and accidentall dignities in the Figure, and is posited best, and elevated most in the Scheame, that he ought to be Lord of the geniture, and am confident the whole actions of the Native will more or lesse pertake of the nature of that Planet and so his Conditions, Complexion, Temperament and Manners shall be much regulated unto the properties assigned that Planet (consideratis, considerandis;) yet doubtlesse if any other Planet be very neer so strong as him whom we formerly mentioned, he shall much participate, and a kind of mixture must be framed according to the severall fortitudes each Planet hath, together with the aspects good or evill of the other Planets intervening.²

Well, here he says the lord of geniture will also have to do with someone's actions, conditions, complexion, temperament and manners, all things we normally assign to the ascendant ruler. That's where it becomes a philosophical problem because astrology is older than our contemporary idea of identity or the individual. Our contemporary ontological theory is that you are your interiority, or your brain, or your mental illnesses, or your mannerisms, your manias, you're just interacting with the world as a removed being; but the astrological chart is about all of your life and everything that happens in it and those things form character. Astrology studies fate and your fate isn't removed from who you are. That's possibly some of what Heraclitus means by "ethos anthropos daimon". ³

Although it's important to be clear that I'm talking about an ontological theory where destiny/fate is involved, but the astrological chart itself isn't you at all, of course, because it's just an oracle, a symbolic tool that helps understand life. My point here is NOT to have you identify with your chart and think that all the planets in a chart have profound subjective meaning. The ruler of the ascendant is symbolic of you, yet the Lord of Geniture can also signify things about you and those things may feel and actually are very personal, because it's your life.

-----------

¹ The book is "Ancient Astrology in Theory and Practice: A Manual of Traditional Techniques, Volume II: Delineating Planetary Meaning". It's all of the Part Nine, but Lilly's Lord of Geniture is more similar to the ancient Lord of the Nativity (Kurios) which she talks about in chapter 94. If you can't find that book you can talk to me through chat and I'll help.

² William Lilly - Christian Astrology, book 3 chapter CV Of the Lord of Geniture. If you go there to the chapter, you'll possibly notice that in the paragraph that I cut out from the citation he mixes the Kurios with the Oikodespotes. Those different versions from other authors that he's rejecting were different concepts entirely.

³ See "The Daimon in Hellenistic Astrology: Origins and Influence" by Dorian Greenbaum.
