#like hes here just existing like my latin king

[evignonita]

Strangetown (Las Rarezas) if the inhabitants were Latin Americans Hispanic

Latin Americans is crossed out because I initially included Brazil here, but decided this post would be for Hispanic Heritage Month. Spain is not included for the same reason LOL. I included Brazil anyway but it will be in italics. I know that Brazil is not a Hispanic country, I'm just lazy to change it

EDIT: I DID NOT INCLUDE AJAY, I FORGOT ABOUT HIM LMFAAOOOO now yes sorry Ajay

OKAY here we go

The Curious Brothers and Jenny Smith: Argentine-Bolivians, they would specifically come from the province of Salta lmfoej, I only maintain this because I saw an illustration of a guy similar to Pascal drinking mate. Kitty would be Argentine and Glarn would be Bolivian 🧉

Johnny and Jill Smith: Argentinian, yas queen

Pol. Smith: Pol was not born on earth, but during his years of adaptation on earth he lived in Mexico, that is why he would say that he is Mexican, only that he was born in Veracruz JEODHEOEKR

(*) The Muenda family (Olive and Ophelia's family): I like to think that they are of Brazilian origin or from some Lusitano speaking country. Olive and Willow come from Porto Alegre, but Ophelia was born in São Paulo

Ichabod Specter: Puerto Rican, Afro-Latino king ❤️‍🩹 he comes from San Juan... He loves mofongo

Nervous Subject: Chilean-Brazilian, was born in Arica, Chile, while Olive was fleeing justice... accused of murder AH... 😔

Circe Beaker: Circe would be from Bolivia, specifically from the department of Beni... Although she would hate caporales omg she's so fake booooo, love her anyway

Loki and Erin Beaker: Swedish-Uruguayan, their parents are Swedish but they were born in Río Negro. Loki and Pascal hate each other 😝 /j

The Grunts: Chileans, Buzz was born in Santiago and that's why I hate him... His children were born in Calama... Tank reminds me of my cousin 🧠

Kristen Loste: Costa Rican, IDK WHYY She just gives me the vibe that she was born in some small town on the outskirts of San José (too specific idc)

Lola and Chloe Singles: Bolivians, they were born in Bolivia when Glarn still lived in his native country and as a good Hispanic father he abandoned them. Glabe is Paraguayan 🫶

Ajay Loner: Since I forgot to include Ajay, he would be Paraguayan because he would be like his country, he doesn't exist (BROMA, LOS AMO MUCHO PARAGUAYOS USTEDES Y NOSOTROS NOS ENTENDEMOS BIEN PQ NINGUNO DE NOSOTROS HABLA BIEN ESPAÑOL OK 🇨🇱🤝🇵🇾)

All sentences here were taken from different media about possessive love, the thrill of the chase, banter, and competition regarding one's affection. Some have foul language so please beware but most are fun, banter, possessive fun. All of these are made for roleplay purposes. Change names, pronouns, locations as you see fit.

I love you. You’re mine. I’ll kill any bastard who tries to take you from me.

I spend a quarter of every day inside you. 

I have never said this to anyone before.

But the idea of you with child is the most insanely arousing thing I’ve ever imagined.

Your belly all swollen, your breasts heavy, the funny little way you would walk … I would worship you. I would take care of your every need. And everyone would know that I’d made you that way, that you belonged to me.

You want to be free. You also want to be mine. You can't be both.

We can't possess one another.

Just because I can't have you right now, doesn't mean I'm okay with him having you.

I will be good to you, Myst. Please, I promise.

You are mine. And I protect what’s mine.

Of course I won't go alone. I shall take my maid.

No.You will take me.

The purpose of a knight is to protect. Why won’t you let him do his job to me?

I want you all to myself.

I can’t explain to you the joy I feel knowing it’s all mine. That you are all mine, that your body is all mine.

There is something in me that wakes up when I want something, a possession.

God knows he deserved you more than I do. 

Listen well, for you belong to me.

Good grief, you’re such an adorably greedy person.

And when you fall in love with her  just keep in mind that she’s mine. 

 She’s more than you could handle, anyway.

That almost sounds like a challenge.

I don’t need your permission to do anything.

Your hands will touch me and no one else, Meadow. That is final.

You chase off every man that’s ever been interested, and you do it without even trying.

You reject every suitor and yet, you keep entertaining me. I believe you want me too, and you are dying to be touched.

I don't own you, you just belong to me.

You’re my gold, your cunt is my liquid gold. 

I will have your mouth, you will give it to me. Then I will have your spirit, Circe. I will own it. Always.

By the gods you have never been more beautiful than you are right now, spread before me, wrapped in my wool.

Once I take you, you are mine. My woman. No other man can have you.

I do not belong to you, or to anyone else. I will talk to whomever I want, whenever I want.

Not if it’s some ass who thinks he can put his hands on you.

You didn’t have a problem with me acting like a caveman last night.

When it comes to you… I don’t like to share.

Most men prefer to do the eating.

Do you know what passion is?

Most people think it only means desire. Arousal. Wild abandon. But that’s not all. The word derives from the Latin. It means suffering. Submission. Pain and pleasure, Nikki. Passion.

You’re wearing my colors, love.

I’m going to put you on your knees, Ruby. You’re going to hate how much you love it.

He is my king, he is my warrior, he is my husband and I am proud to say above all… he is mine.

You have rare beauty the like I have never seen but you will be more beautiful heavy with my seed.

You are my golden queen. You are my tigress. You are my Circe. 

Never will I allow your gold to be taken from me. Never. Understand this, Circe, and never forget.

Maybe I fell in love with a version of him that didn't exist.

 I would have you right here if you would let me. Fear you? I exalt you. 

You could burn me a thousand times, and I would still want you for my own.

Everything has a price. The price, however, isn't always money.

You’re my scariest hell, You’re my perfect paradise.

Well, I admit my crib is pretty sweet. But a gold cage is still a cage, Harry.

I intend to the last. 

If I win, then you shall be mine. Tonight.

You are so sure of yourself.

The game is simple. The women run, the men chase. If you catch the one with your color. . .well, that’s up to you.

But women have been running all their lives, most men don’t catch that easily.

We are in a maze, lost, and your hand is up my skirt.

Aye, but I don’t hear any complaints. The maze will hide our secret.

The God you cravenly revere is dead...

DAY 100

Race: Tyrant

Arcana: Devil

Alignment: Dark-CHAOS

The prince of darkness needs no introduction. The Morning Star, the Devil, the Fallen Angel who brought about so much to our demon-focused blog. Sure, I may be jumping the gun a bit by covering him only on day 100, but given that his closest compatriot, Beelzebub, was covered on day 50, I feel it's warranted. Lucifer is iconic to the SMT series, a legendary figure who serves a major role in many games in the series, being the perfect representative of one of the three major alignments: Chaos. In most games throughout the series, Lucifer plays a part, even in ones disconnected from mainline- if there is chaos, there will be the dying light of the morning star. Even in Persona, a series mostly concerned with Jungian psychology, Lucifer commonly appears as a late-game persona, and even a form of him in Satanael is the final form of Joker's persona in Persona 5, being a representation of freedom and rebellion- after all, what else is more rebellious and free than rebelling against God himself?

I digress, however. Lucifer is as important to SMT as he is to Biblical history itself, after all, and this is a blog about the stories of demons, right? Lucifer himself is a major character in the Bible, appearing for certain first in the Book of Isaiah, though his overall relevance spreads beyond that. Even in the Book of Genesis, the very first story in the Bible, it's believed that the serpent that tricked Eve into eating the apple of knowledge was Lucifer, cast down from heaven. This interpretation is supported by Paradise Lost, a story I'll likely be referencing a lot here, but its importance to Lucifer and his interpretations throughout not just SMT, but history itself, cannot go understated.

The Devil's conniving ways are depicted throughout the bible in several verses, especially in the New Testament, wherein he's seen as a figure analogous to the Buddhist demon Mara, a being tempting humanity away from their rightful path of sin/good karma to partake in their desire. However, this isn't to spell a connection between the two, as Lucifer himself is given a far different story than Mara, as he is with many other tempters in religion, even including some other biblical figures such as Mastema. Instead, what we should be focusing on is Lucifer's existence as a fallen angel.

Lucifer's existence in the Bible is strange, as the name Lucifer is a translation from the original Latin Helel, meaning 'Light-bearer.' His first reference in one of the most prevalent translations of the Bible, the King James Bible, goes as follows:

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

This immediately points to Lucifer being an angel who fell for his own hype, so to speak- one who believed himself to be as strong, if not stronger than God, which led to him being cut down by the forces of Heaven. However, in Paradise Lost, it's shown that Lucifer was more than just vain- he held a rebellion, and when it fell, and he fell with it, he became Satan. I know, that's strange, but it's not really canon to the SMT interpretations of both characters- it just helps to shape Lucifer's characterization in the series as a rebellious figure who stood even against God himself. Strangely, adding on to this odd maze of interpretation, Lucifer was also commonly interpreted as the king of Babylon, the famously sinful city of evil described in the Bible. What I think all of this adds to is less a solid character of his and rather a general interpretation and idea that surrounds Lucifer- that of him being the embodiment of rebellion, chaos, and standing against the mold of society in order to partake in sin. There's a reason that his deadly sin, after all, is one of the most dangerous- that being Pride.

Lucifer's role in the Bible is strange, however, and many interpretations differ completely, whether they be him as Satan, him as the Devil, or even him as a tragic hero. However, as for SMT's purposes, it takes a very unique take, combining several aspects from several interpretations to make the Morning Star into a perfect prince of darkness. For one, it pulls a lot from Paradise Lost, giving Lucifer the role of a rebellious figure who rules over scores of demons, though it separates him from Satan in opposition to the poem. His sin of pride is intact, as he's shown to be a very individualistic figure throughout, valuing freedom and one's own strength above all else, tying very well into the purveying themes of individualism and might-makes-right that are constant in the Chaos ideology.

In terms of design, what is there really to say? Lucifer's design is utterly iconic- the six split wings, the gorgeous plays on the angelic aspects of his character, the great horns reaching sky-high, there's a reason so many were disappointed with his weird redesign in IV. Like, what were they doing? I get that he was meant to look offputting, but turning him into a skinhead was not the right way to go about it- well, whatever. Every design of Lucifer throughout the series has its merits, and I love how several games even have different human disguises for him- my personal favorite has to be Louis Cyphre, but I adore how each human disguise including Louis plays on the traditionally angelic traits of pale skin and blonde hair, though twists that on its head due to him commonly wearing all black.

Thank you all for tagging along with this series, and it is so ridiculously lucky that day 100 was placed perfectly on my birthday. There's gonna be more, for sure, coming soon, don't worry- but for now, I love you all, and goodnight. Or good morning. Whichever works.

You didn't even mention his role in Gnosticism!

Jack, I'm not touching on Gnosticism with a ten foot pole for the time being. I don't even know what's going with that half the time. Wait for the Demiurge analysis.

Coward.

june reading wrap up

it's that time of the month again, folks.

the mission: read only queer books the side mission: read more than just sapphic books the side-side mission: read something besides fantasy/romance mission status: sick

some stats for those following along at home:

- i read 19 books - i attempted one buddy read (but my wife quit on me, guys) - 100% OF MY BOOKS WERE QUEER - still no audiobooks but there's a freshly peeled month ahead of us

here's the reviews:

the bad: - Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur, bisexual rep people in the circles i've been traveling lately love this book, but i just... didn't. the characters did a complete personality switch about three chapters in. one of them was a manic pixie dream girl. the other was so flat i dreaded reading her perspective. also the brother had NO boundaries and i hate third act breakups due to miscommunication. 1 star - Something Wild and Wonderful by Anita Kelly, achillean rep people also loved this one but my struggle is that i don't think gay men are it for me and also there were some things about Alexie that i just didn't jive with. there was, yet again, another third act breakup that felt contrived. the writing was good and it was clear Kelly knows hiking and they have a love for it. so i enjoyed that part! 2.5 stars - The Prospects by K.T. Hoffman, trans achillean rep everyone and their freaking mother LOVE this book but it just didn't have enough baseball. like, for a book about the first trans baseball player in the professional league, this book was about his love interest's anxiety. gimme baseball!!! and gene straight-up backstabbed luis, i stg if no one else thinks so. 2.5 stars

the great: - The Skin and Its Girl by Sarah Cypher, lesbian rep this is lit-fic and you should know that going into it. once i got used to the writing style, i was hooked on this book. it's an interesting POV and the love story is really the complex love between a daughter and her mother, and the daughter and get great-aunt. like, my brain is still bending around this one. 5 stars - The Z Word by Lindsay King-Miller, queer rep this book emerged from a tumblr prompt and it's incredible. tons of rep (sword lesbian, motorcycle lesbian, drag queen, bisexual mess, nonbinary pizza delivery person) and just a fun fucking time. it's all centered around Pride weekend and begs the question: just what do you do when a zombie outbreak fucks up your festival? 5 stars - Here We Go Again by Alison Cochrun, lesbian rep two teachers go on a road trip with their terminally ill mentor and gosh, this is a specific setup but it works. i cried at the end like a little baby. the characters were fantastic (my favorite was their mentor) and the writing was superb. there's also really great ADHD rep in this and the growth of each character felt natural instead of forced. 5 stars - The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas, trans rep i knew this book existed and my cousin loves it but i never gave it a fair shake because i was like ONLY SAPPHIC NOVELS ONLY SAPPHIC NOVELS and was averse to reading anything but that but this one. this one is so good. the setting (a contemporary-fantasy latin america) is so lush and rich with detail. teo, the main character, had me rooting for him from the get-go. and the plot twist was so so good. i requested an advanced copy of the sequel through NetGalley and i'm hoping it'll come there. (i also bought Thomas' other novel, because now he is auto-buy author me) 5 stars.

honorable mentions: - A Swift and Sudden Exit by Nico Vincenty, bisexual rep also born from a tumblr prompt and just so much fun. i recommend purchasing this because it's just too good. time traveler meets and immortal (maybe you've seen the prompt). you won't regret it - Elatsoe by Darcy Little Badger, asexual rep an Indigenous girl who can see ghosts goes on a trip to hunt down her cousin's murderer. the writing is so punchy. i loved this one. - On the Same Page by Haley Cass, bisexual rep best friends become lovers through miscommunication. hilarious stuff. i will also read Haley Cass again because the characters were so funny and the plot was so good. - Lakelore by Anna-Marie McLemore, nonbinary rep this one was a mind bender in a good way. each of the characters were really fleshed out in a fun way. the timeline hopping was a little trippy, but i got my feet under me quick. - A Sweet Sting of Salt by Rose Sutherland, lesbian rep a selkie wife retelling. do i really need to say more?

okay this is long i am congratulating you if you got this far. now i need to go hibernate and slow down because i read too much and this month i want to write!

[paracosmicparadox]

So I finished FFXV ages ago, but I've been thinking about it lately bc you know, I elaborated the chocobros' story far further than it was meant to go and got way more attached to them than I should have. So here're some things that the game did really well and some of the things it didn't. (you don't have to agree w anything here; I'm not trying to corrupt y'all w my opinions; I just feel like talking)

Let's start with the bad to get it out of the way:

CINDY. I swear to everything holy her character had the potential to be So Cool if she hadn't been so overtly over-sexualized. Like, I'm a woman-liker too and I get it, lady mechanics are hot af, but you know what else is attractive? Safety in the workplace. Cindy's outfit was not something any mechanic would be caught dead wearing. Yeah, it was designed to be sexy, but do you know how many burns she would've accumulated from the hot oil and metal she works with? There's a reason mechanics typically wear clothing zipped up when they're actually working on something. If anything, Cindy's character design just made me uncomfortable. Her character itself? Great. No qualms there. Her design? Please acquire more than two square feet of fabric I'm begging you. I just feel like Cindy deserved to be so much more than fan service.

Luna's brief time on-screen. Yet another potentially incredible and deep female protagonist who got short change from this game. People joke a lot that Luna wasn't at all an important character because the game never really treated her like one. She was MEANT to be important, clearly, but it felt like she existed just for her tearjerking death scene? Like there was SO MUCH overlooked potential to bring her into the storyline as more than Tragic Love Interest In White, and yet?? Idk it frustrated me.

The emotional aspect of the game felt rushed. There were a lot of emotional scenes covered throughout the plotline ranging from King Regis's death to the deal with Prompto at Zegnautus Keep. I feel like the game TRIED to cover them realistically and show the characters' grief, but it didn't quite get there. It was just sort of an "Oh, how sad. I'm so upset and angry. Hm, what's that? My friends believe in me without truly understanding and I can kill someone to ease my pain? Oh okay I'm better now." I get that realistic healing cycles are kinda hard to portray within a set timeframe, but having some lingering effects of the blatant trauma inflicted would've been nice. You don't recover from shit like that in a week's time.

Character personalities tended to be one-sided. Noctis was edgy, Prompto was happy-go-lucky, Gladio was tough-guy, and Ignis was... nevermind, Iggy was great--- HE had some on-screen depth. Personally, I've developed these characters myself far more than what the game gave us, but I wish we'd gotten more canon depth beyond their surface-level traits. I love them with my whole heart and they deserve genuine complexity.

Now the things I actually really enjoyed:

The graphics were on-point. The amount of detail put into character design and into monsters was insane. You could zoom in and see individual textures on skin and hair and feathers, bringing a level of realism to the game that I personally enjoyed.

All of the Latin and Norse mythological references!! As a Latin nerd, I found little gems everywhere in this game. Esp in the names--- (Noctis Lucis Caelum = Of-the-night Sky-of-light (the genitives in there make the literal translation kinda a mouthful ik) Gladiolus Amicitia = Sword-flower Friendship (the gladiolus is an actual flower that gets its name from the Latin word gladius, meaning sword, for its sword-like shape) Ignis Scientia = Fire Knowledge; Prompto Argentum = Ready Silver (the word prompto is actually in the dative (possibly ablative), making the literal translation nonsense, but if they'd made his name Promptus, it would've sounded awkward, so I can see why they picked the dative/ablative form of the adjective for stylistic reasons and I put the rough translation instead)) WOW THAT WAS A LOT OF PARENTHETICAL INFO WHOOPS

Ardyn's character. I'm not saying this bc I'm one of the fans who fawn over him---Ardyn is DEFINITELY NOT MY PREFERRED FLAVOR OF MAN, but character-wise, he made an excellent antagonist. He was witty, slick, and classy in an I'm-gonna-outstep-you-like-it's-hopscotch sorta way. He was a poetic villain done well, which made him an antagonist you could both sympathize for and absolutely detest given the situation. He was both the master manipulator and the pawn one space away from the edge of the board. He can sway a crowd, but you know deep in your gut just by the cunning greed in his eyes that You Cannot Trust The Man. He was definitely Not a good person (tragic backstory isn't an excuse), but he was a good villain.

I loved the bond between the chocobros?? This is probably bc I'm a sucker for the found family trope, but their interactions were so amazing to me?? Like, not even the cutscene stuff. Just their little sidebar conversations during fights or while you're walking around or driving the Regalia. They're Roadtrip Buddies™ and I think that's excellent.

THE FOOD. By god, the food in this game looked absolutely scrumptious and I would like to partake. The Daggerquill Soup? Give it to me I'll pay you. The Creamy Crustacean Omelet? Stop it right now I'll eat that so fast it'll be a criminal offense. Like I know I touched on the graphics earlier, but broski I was not kidding. I guess I know why the game took so long to make it to the market bc the detail that went into these recipes is absolutely mouthwatering.

[bigsoftmarshmallow]

Hello, how are you doing? Well, I hope?

I has things! X3

Oh… my gosh… How hilarious would it be if, when the Zonai first arrived, they actually were planning to be full-on colonizers?

But then Rauru & Sonia meet & it's like Disney's Pocahontas meets Steven Universe if the Greg/Rose relationship had taken place as the Gem War was going on.

Like, literally with “Colors of the Wind,” just replace Pocahontas with Sonia & John Smith with Rauru. But, like, make him Latin! XD

… Fudge, now I'm thinking about a literal Zonai civil war much like the one between Homeworld & the Crystal Gems with Rauru as Rose Diamond/John Smith, any other Zonai who agreed with him as the Crystal Gems, & the rest of the Zonai as Homeworld Gems.

(… Oh my gosh… In such a situation… Ganondorf is effing Renaldo from the “Rising Tides/Crashing Skies” episode! 🤣)

In fact… What if it was Rauru & Mineru’s mother who was the one who wanted to colonize Hyrule? (I shall call her Jueru!)

So, while he’s trying to bring Hyrule together so as to bring peace, which was already at war with itself, he's also secretly rebelling against his own mother.

…

What if the reason that there are no more Zonai is because of this possible civil war?

In fact, what if the reason that Rauru chose the style of government that he did was simply due to only having ever really known that one?

I mean, think about it. If the Zonai were really from the sky & if this were something legitimately unusual on Hyrule's Earth, then it's very, very probable that they, just as a society, were very isolated.

If so, it’s also possible that they, themselves, were an empire. Meaning that, logically, that’d be the sort of government that he & Mineru would know the most about & would be most prone to thinking about & considering.

And, if they were literally all part of it. Like, in a united sort of way, then depending on how many generations this were the case, the Rauru likely wouldn’t have practically any experience with them. He may not even know anything about them beyond intellectually.

Or, if the Zonai in charge (Jueru) was more tyrannical, he might not have even be aware that other such forms of government even existed. Or even if he did, his perceptions could’ve been colored by that individual or regime. (Though, those last 2 don’t seem nearly as fun as if it was literally just a result of faulty memory & human error. XD)

I imagine him just sort of blinking rather mystified & going, "... I... suppose that I forgot that there were other kinds... Tell me more..."

Like, in my mind, he was aware of them, but because those 2 particular thoughts simply hadn't connected inside his brain yet, he's never really considered them as viable possiblities.

And what if, for having helped the then forgotten Hyrule to end the fighting, the people of the land chose him as their king?

What if, in an attempt to honor the lands culture & history, he chose the name “Hyrule,” in a similar way that one might choose to name a new kingdom “Camelot” or similar to why Evan Pettiwhisker Tildrum from Ni no Kuni 2 named his new kingdom “Evermore?”

Which, I understand, “cool story, still imperialism,” but at the same time, you could say something very similar about Ganondorf, too. “Cool motive, still murder.”

… Actually… this could be a really cool angle to explore in a fic or something… Though, I feel like it'd be a bit too ambitious for me...

Sounds like a Steven Universe storyline and I AM HERE FOR IT!

Oh, if my brain functioned like it did a few years back, I would sooo be here to take on the challenge. I DO encourage you to make an attempt! A sentence a day is a sentence more than nothing! You can do it if you truly want to!

I really wanted to see how such a path could go, so... ChatGPT for a small scene:

The moonlight bathed the courtyard in a serene glow, casting long shadows over the ancient stonework of Hyrule Castle. Sonia stood by the fountain, her golden hair glimmering in the soft light, her eyes reflecting the stars above. She hummed softly, a tune reminiscent of the melodies of old Hyrule, as she waited for Rauru.

Rauru approached quietly, his heart swelling at the sight of her. His thoughts were heavy with the weight of his dual roles: uniting Hyrule and defying his mother’s imperial ambitions. He reached out, and Sonia turned, her face lighting up with a warm smile.

"Rauru," she greeted, her voice gentle and soothing.

He took her hands in his, their touch grounding him. "Sonia, I’ve been thinking," he began, his voice carrying a mixture of determination and uncertainty. "About our people, our future... and the legacy we wish to leave."

Sonia’s expression turned curious, encouraging him to continue. "Go on," she urged softly.

Rauru sighed, glancing up at the stars as if seeking their guidance. "My mother, Jueru, she envisioned a different path for the Zonai. A path of conquest and control. But when I met you, everything changed. Your people, your culture... it’s something worth preserving, not dominating."

Sonia squeezed his hands, her eyes shining with understanding and love. "Rauru, you’ve already done so much. You’ve brought peace to Hyrule, united the tribes. But we can’t stop there. We must build a future where all voices are heard."

Rauru nodded, feeling a sense of resolve wash over him. "I want to honor Hyrule’s history, its people. When they chose me as their king, it wasn’t for power. It was for hope, for unity. That’s why I named our kingdom ‘Hyrule,’ to signify a new beginning."

Sonia smiled, her heart swelling with pride. "And together, we’ll ensure that Hyrule remains a beacon of hope and harmony."

Their moment was interrupted by Mineru, Rauru’s sister, who approached with a worried expression. "Brother, the council is convening. There are rumors of unrest among our people. They fear our mother’s influence still lingers."

Rauru’s expression hardened with determination. "Then we shall prove them wrong. We will show them that our path is one of peace, not tyranny."

As they walked towards the council chamber, Sonia looked up at Rauru, her eyes filled with unwavering support. "And remember, Rauru, you’re not alone in this. We stand together, as one."

In the shadows, Ganondorf watched with narrowed eyes. He had his own plans, his own ambitions. But for now, he observed, waiting for the right moment to strike. The Zonai’s civil war had left scars, and he intended to exploit them.

As Rauru and Sonia entered the chamber, the future of Hyrule hung in the balance. The legacy of the Zonai, the dream of a united Hyrule, and the shadows of the past all converged in this pivotal moment. And with Sonia by his side, Rauru knew they had a fighting chance to build a kingdom that truly honored its people’s heritage and dreams.

storm ily please rant about thropes nonsensical worldbuilding and how they fucked up the noble hierarchy by having too many dukes <3

shyd. shyd.

IT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE AND I'M SO MAD. LISTEN. LISTEN.

So, in the irl historical uses of the european terms (since Fire Emblem uses European terms, that's what I'm referring to), there's a hierachy to noble titles which tends to be pretty similar across the board. The words differ slightly depending on the language, (some of which have the same root somewhere, which is neat) so like, marquis (french) and margrave (anglification of German markgraf) are different terms for similar positions.

So, using the terms fe does, USUALLY IT'S LIKE (and this is a simplification. I'm not an expert asfgk):

sovereign (I'm disregarding the differing positions of king vs emperor vs archduke here, bc its not relevent for 3 houses. obvs they're different irl, but it is irrelevant here)

(sovereign heir)

Duke

Marquis/Margrave - usually used for a noble with land on a border, so worth extra distinguishment. That's especially true of 'margrave' from what I can tell, but 'marquis' did originate from the same use (medieval latin "marca", meaning "borderland/frontier") i like language. ANYWAY.

Count

Viscount

Baron

Lord (as in 'of the Manor')

Now. NOW. There can obviously be multiple people in the same rank, barring sovereign and heir, but. Thropes did this funny thing where they were like: what if we added new nobles not mentioned at all in 3 Houses, with very promient titles that would imply they are high ranking.

Faerghus? So you got Duke Fraldarius - tracks, the Fraldariuses are the Blaiddyd's right hands - and Margrave Gautier - also tracks - implying the Gautiers and Fraldariuses are basicially the highest ranking noble families in Faerghus, apart from the royal family. Makes sense.

But what if we added a new Duke? said Koei Tecmo, Just to fuck with Storm, specifically?

So KT dropped not just one duke - IFAN - who up until now was never mentioned, which. A duke is pretty fucking important. Important enough to BE LABELLED ON THE PRE-EXISTING MAP, I'D SAY. Anyway. But not satisfied with this, they ALSO said hey. Why not just put a marquis in Faerghus? For funsies. A marquis. A title of different linguistic origin to margrave, but the same status? Margrave, as in, the established Margrave Gautier? Whatever, we worked out a fun linguistic thing with the Empire, which I actually love, but it's the principal of the thing.

So there I am, screaming into my pillow, trying desperately to make some semblence of sense out of these goddamn retcons, which is, we all know, a hopeless endeavour. But it bugs me. It bugs me SO MUCH.

NOT TO MENTION, they seemed to have made "Duke" Ifan's territory so, incredibly tiny. Like. A duke you say??? Sure.

They also added just. So many viscounts. So many counts. SO MANY. DEMOTE SOME OF THEM. Seven whole viscounts - four new ones - and five counts - two new ones - while there are only two barons. Demote some of these fuckers for the love of god. The political power balance is all outta whack.

Adrestia and Leicester were also not spared this. Leicester was gifted just. Too many viscounts (WHERE are the lesser lords? in the basement??). And while Adrestia has the most reasonable balance of barons there are still so. many. viscounts. Like who the fuck are the von Fenjas? von Fenja the fuck up.

I'm not even gonna talk about how it makes NO SENSE for Arundel to only be a "Lord" - he's the regent??? Obvs this is a Three Houses thing, not a Thropes thing, but are they telling me he didn't get a fancy title to go with that fancy land and fancy crown. intsys I'm gonna need 3 pages double sided of your thought process there. I know I know, they didn't think it through that thoroughly bc it doesn't actually matter, but what about me? will someone please think of me, left out in the rain, behaving very exceedly not neurotypical about this game??? 😔

This may be WILDLY belated considering when the books were published, but what’s the Raven Cycle about/why is it good in your opinion? Always heard a lot about it in the abstract but nothing actually about the plot.

I mean yeah it's a little belated but better late than never is real and especially applies to one of my fav books of all time

Ok so what is TRC about? In a literal sense it's about a girl named Blue, who isn't psychic but who lives in a house full of women who are including her mom, who's been told her entire life that if she kisses her true love, he will die. She then gets involved with a group of boys from the local prep school, Gansey, Adam, Ronan, and Noah, who - under Gansey's leadership - are looking for a dead (possibly not actually dead) Welsh King right there in West Virginia.

But that's just the story. Listen, this thing's got intrigue and murder and soft magic systems for days, but that's not what makes TRC one of my all time favorite books of all time.

So what is TRC about? As a whole, it's about family - in all its forms. Blood relations, for better and for worse, and friendships that are closer than blood. As a whole, it's about class - the ways class shapes us and the opportunities we do or do not get because of it and what it means about our past, present, and future and how it lets us relate to one another or prevents us from understanding one another.

But on an individual level, each character undergoes such specific arcs that are somehow so universal you can't help but empathize with all of them. It's about learning that you don't hate yourself, or at least learning to stop hating yourself. It's a coming out narrative. It's about getting out of an abusive situation and the many steps it takes to recover from that mindset. It's about chasing love. It's about desire. It's about wanting to plant your feet in the ground and still reach for the stars.

It's also about cars. And trees. There are so many trees.

Like seriously. A fuckload of trees.

Why is it good? It's well written, for one. All my copies, whether digital or physical, are covered in highlights and notes and google translations of latin. I've analyzed and analyzed again and read and reread these books and I always find something new in them.

There's something that's so homey about the minds of these characters. Especially having first read them as a deeply strange teen, they capture something about being a deeply strange teen that I simply haven't seen anywhere else. And this is the example of the found family trope, for me. These deeply strange teens who found other deeply strange teens to understand and love them.

The supporting cast here is also rich and varied. There's something like thirty POVs in the final book but it doesn't feel like it, because you've been existing alongside these characters for so many pages that getting to say goodbye to all of them is all that makes sense.

Beyond that a lot of the reasons I think are good are straight up spoilers or even veer into discourse. But yeah, TRC is worth your time. Several times over.

Also, the audiobooks are like, fine, and available for free on Spotify, which fucked up my stats for 2021 and also forever and ever in general, so there you go.

(I've only read each book in the sequel series, The Dreamer Trilogy, once each, so I'm not nearly as eloquent on it as I am this one, but I will say that it's also worth reading, but it deals with entirely different subjects, is a little darker, and I don't love it as much. I'm not unhappy with the end Maggie Stiefvater gave us for this world, however.)

cacophony/cataclysm Vega consept(?)

So there is this kinda concept/fanfic idea (although I don’t think it has enough substance for me to write a fic about it, even if it did, I don’t think I have the energy to write like a 35 chapter fic) not really an AU, and not really a theory just jumbled “what if”s, so I decided to share it here

Warning, this might seem a little juvenile and self-indulgent since it’s basically a sad backstory for the brutish villain but just so you know, I am well aware that this very sad boy backstory doesn’t excuse his wrong doings.

And also, I ramble a lot, so this will be long

This story I've cooked up in my head is all based of this mini theory i have that Vega is as old as the cacophony (the war between the Sovereigns and the humans and deamons) which would make him like hundreds of years old. This theory of mine doesn’t have much backing it up besides it would be good writing for his character because of his line “you want to know how time and circumstance might lead someone here.” (and I’ll talk about that later)

Idk, the reason why he's like 120% sure that the Sovereigns are real and why he knows so much information about them despite the story being majorly seen by de(a)mons as just a myth/folklore might be because he was actually there, but again that might just be like saying every crazy Christian is actually Jesus Christ in secret so idk

I mean his age is never specified in the timeline and the only reason something might not be on the timeline is because a) It’s not important enough or b) Erik is hiding it for future events and I don’t think Vega is an unimportant character

But then again maybe this is just a safe assumption and I’m just stupid or maybe this is a purely out of the blue theory with dogwater evidence and in that case I’m still stupid

But this is where theory ends and my daydreaming a story into existing begins.

In my mind, the cacophony happens in ancient Rome

Ancient because, It obviously didn’t happen in the close past since it’s regarded as myth and Vega while talking to Warden about it calls the humans “ancient humans” and the Rome part? Well... this is more of me throwing a pin dart at a board

I first thought it was ancient Greece since that’s where myths of deamons originated (in this world they would be based on the de(a)mons we know and not just folktale) but now I decided It’s ancient Rome because I have a theory that the de(a)mon language that Avior talks about in his story is actually Latin because most if not all de(a)mon names we have seen are Latin, so I guess in this world humans learned the language from de(a)mons? (also in the imp AU the first ever king of the imperium is named “Emil” which is a Latin name and we know that the imperium was formed some time after the cacophony) and I know that a lot of other countries spoke Latin at that time but whatever

But again, this is just me taking a stab in the dark, I could be completely wrong

So in my concept, Vega is born out of the elision well right as the conflict is starting. The Sovereigns have all gone to Elegy and now deamons are stuck in Aria without any source of energy. Vega manages to create a rift of his own and travels to Elegy (not saying that he’s the first deamon to make a rift to Elegy, just that he figured out how to do it himself, if that’s even possible).

When he first entered Elegy, he was hit with major sensory overload from experiencing new colors and shapes and hearing and smell and touch an all of that. But after he recovers, he goes exploring of this new plane of existence. Soon after, he sees a human being tortured by a Sovereign who’s experimenting on them, trying to give them powers. Now, in this point in time, Vega is not the human-hating unfeeling person that we know him as now. Then, I imagine he had you know, this thing called empathy (but I don’t want to completely scrap his personality, so imagine him how he was in the imp AU, just still, less sadistic).

He might have been on this plane for like 5 minutes but he can clearly sense the emotions of agony from the human

He goes in to defend the human, and while the Sovereign could have easily smushed him then and there, they didn’t, and instead just left since their work was done.

This human is in my mind, kinda like a fellow listener (since I don’t have the balls to call them an oc), so I will refer to them as listener.

When listener awakes, Vega is still with them and even though first they’re scared and confused, they quickly realized that the creature before them meant no harm (and this was ancient times so a demon isn’t as an outlandish concept as it was back then).

At first, it’s difficult for them to communicate since they don’t speak the same language and Vega is communicating trough telepathy and doesn’t even know how to make a sound with his vocal cords.

(and also the listener has powers now and I didn’t decide what kind)

But soon enough, they learn to speak each other's language and Vega starts living along side humans with the other deamons. The humans are reasonably afraid of them at first, but quickly start cherishing them as powerful beings they could lean on (similarly to how they were portrayed in ancient Greek mythology).

As the humans and the deamons plan their rebellion against the Sovereigns, Vega and the listener get closer and eventually fall in love, aww, how cute

But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows, since the war comes, and the listener needs to join and use their new found magical powers.

Sadly, they end up dying in the war by the hands of a Sovereign, and Vega lives. After the war is over he is distraught, but life goes on and he continues living.

Through the years Vega sees it all. He sees the slow shift between humans and de(a)mons being allies, to the humans hatred towards de(a)mons (probably because the rise of Christianity where deamons go from being seen as basically any magical entity to evil helpers of Satan). He sees the people he risked his life to protect slowly turn against him for reasons he doesn’t know. Now because of the new title of “sadism demon” humans and fellow de(a)mons judge him. And at one point he stops caring. He stops caring about being seen as evil and he stops caring about humans. All of them seem to wish him ill and any potential ones that don’t will die some day.

He now probably can’t even remember the voice or the face of the human he loved, he probably forgot they even existed.

And that’s how Vega became Vega

Really a “you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself turn into the villain” situation.

You could also make the scenario that he is intrigued by Warden since they remind him of the human deep down, Stranger to Lovely reincarnation and all that jazz, and I’m sure that Brachium could fit in the story too since we know that he is also as old as the cacophony (maybe he’s the steward that relayed the situation to Vega, idk!) 

Also i imagine that in the imp! au the same thing happened just the listener didn’t die in the war, but they still had to part ways since the de(a)mons made the decision to just chill in Aria and never speak to the humans again. Which is also why he was a lot nicer to humans in the AU, since he wasn’t there to see all the bad shit they’ve done.

But this is defiantly just some brain vomit that I came up, but that being said if you like this story or have any ideas of your own let me know! I’d love to hear it

 now, enjoy some delightfully quick and messy concept art I made!

ohhh Vega’s “birth” soo mysterious

I know Elegy is like a “something the human mind can’t comprahend” kind of thing so I just wanted to capture the feeling

Idk how y’all imagine the sovereigns, I imagine them as giant eldritch horror monsters!

Yes Vega was naked when he first entered Elegy, long story

His eyes glow red cuz in the first imp!AU video he describes them as “like glowing embers in the dark” or something like that, probably didn’t mean it litterally, but oh well

oop they got squished by a Soveregn, sad

Voyage of the Nautilus: The Man of the Waters

Gentlemen,” he said in a calm, penetrating voice, “I speak French, English, German, and Latin with equal fluency

That scene is so much more hilarious in retrospect when you know the Captain could understand every single language. 

I’ll spare you the innumerable hypotheses with which we’ve tried to explain this inexplicable phenomenon

Captain nemo was spared but we were not

Our breakfast consisted of several dishes whose contents were all supplied by the sea, and some foods whose nature and derivation were unknown to me. They were good, I admit, but with a peculiar flavor to which I would soon grow accustomed. These various food items seemed to be rich in phosphorous, and I thought that they, too, must have been of marine origin.

I am fascinated with the food on the Nautilus! What does it mean for food to be rich with phosphorus though?

“And now, Professor Aronnax, our own breakfast is ready. Allow me to lead the way.”

Not a breakfast date already!

Captain Nemo stared at me. I had asked him nothing, but he read my thoughts, and on his own he answered the questions I was itching to address him.

Nemo just straight up staring at Aronnax.

“Like the flocks of old Proteus, King Neptune’s shepherd, my herds graze without fear on the ocean’s immense prairies. There I own vast properties that I harvest myself, and which are forever sown by the hand of the Creator of All Things.”

Is Nemo saying that he owns land on the bottom of the ocean? Nemo has an ocean farm somewhere down here?

“What you believe to be red meat, professor, is nothing other than loin of sea turtle. Similarly, here are some dolphin livers you might mistake for stewed pork. My chef is a skillful food processor who excels at pickling and preserving these various exhibits from the ocean. Feel free to sample all of these foods. Here are some preserves of sea cucumber that a Malaysian would declare to be unrivaled in the entire world, here’s cream from milk furnished by the udders of cetaceans, and sugar from the huge fucus plants in the North Sea; and finally, allow me to offer you some marmalade of sea anemone, equal to that from the tastiest fruits.”

Is Nemo out here milking dolphins and whales? Can you make marmalade from sea anemone? Is this meal plausible? Which is to say I want someone somewhere to recreate this. 

The sea is simply the vehicle for a prodigious, unearthly mode of existence; it’s simply movement and love; it’s living infinity, as one of your poets put it

Here lies supreme tranquility.

I feel totally submerged in love for the ocean between Ishmael and Nemo. I need to go to the ocean immediately.

20,000 words milestone

Since 20,000 words written is a bit of a milestone, here is some no context information about the 13th century…

Here are two religious manuscripts that may or may not be relevant:

Codex Gigas (aka The Devil's Bible)

^ So, this is a depiction of the devil found in a codex (basically an old handwritten book) from early 13th century, what is now the, Czech Republic.

Here is the Wikipedia article. It's written in Latin, which I recently discovered is a language you can learn on Duolingo... probably not 13th century Latin though.

Aja'ib al-Makhluqat (The Wonders of Creatures and the Marvels of Creation)

^ This is the Archangel Gabriel who is looking quite stylish and colourful. The picture itself is from a 14th century manuscript, but the original work was written by Zakariya al-Qazwini in the 13th.

It was written in Arabic, which as far as I can tell would have been in 'Classical Arabic' which differs somewhat from the 'Modern Standard Arabic' used today.

I can't remember how I found this, but here is the Wikipedia article.

---

So, 13th century England or 13th century Scotland...

Kingdom of Alba

Well, I haven't been to either England or Scotland, but neither existed as we know them in the 13th century. Something that did exist from 900AD till 1296AD was the Kingdom of Alba. Which seems to me to just be the Scottish Gaelic word for... Scotland.

There is a lot of information about Scotland in the High Middle Ages, far more than I had time or energy to read about. But the King during the 1240's was:

^ Alexander II (1198 - 1249), King of Scots. And here is his Wikipedia article, and that's his seal.

He was the "only Scottish king to take his invasion force all the way to the south coast of England", and signed the "Treaty of York (1237) which defined the boundary between England and Scotland".

So, the 13th century wasn't boring, if you are a historian... which I am not.

Getting slightly back on topic:

Church architecture from 13th century Scotland has a few examples still standing that are easy finds.

^ Dunblane Cathedral, in Dunblane, Scotland, has been restored... but would have been restored using materials and techniques that would make it still a useful example of a 13th century church. (Even though it was originally built between the 11th and 15th centuries... like I said, I'm not a historian.)

^ The ruins of Sweetheart Abbey, in New Abbey, Scotland, was founded in the late 13th century. I think it's held up pretty well, considering it has been abandoned since 1624.

^ My personal favourite: The ruins of Elgin Cathedral, in Elgin, Scotland. Built in 1224 on land granted by the aforementioned King Alexander II.

I mean, it had a tendance to be burnt down... at least three times... so it's probably more of a 15th century example, but it's pretty.

---

Assorted people of the 13th century:

Francis of Assisi

Francis of Assisi (1181 - 1226), was a 13th century monk who lived and died in what we would now think of as Italy. He is not relevant to what I am writing, however his Wikipedia page has a detailed painting of what a 13th century monk would wear… although it was painted in the 17th century so…

^ Francis of Assisi.

Hugh of Saint-Cher

Hugh of Saint-Cher (1200 - 1263), was another 13th century monk, this time a Bishop, who…wore glasses! That’s it, that's why I find him interesting. Born in what is now France and dying in what is now Italy, the painting of him wearing a pair of eyeglasses is one of the (if not the) first depictions we have of someone who wore reading glasses. Sunglasses were also invented in roughly the same timeframe in China.

---

Miscellaneous...

While not particularly relevant, I of course spent some time looking at fashion trends of the 13th century... and learning of the existence of sumptuary laws, which are also not relevant but confirm the existence of the fashion police.

And I have yet to finish watching the BBC docuseries on 'How To Build A 13th Century Castle'.

I'll end with: Medieval names we can all enjoy...

[avemstella]

jeepers, sending this ask on the eve of the 4.2 stream and trailer ! do you have any thoughts on how genshin will approach tying up childe's storyline in the fontaine quest next update? if smfwtwd manages to predict something again, apollo's dodgeball of prophecy has a 2 for 2 streak lol

You don't want to know how long this response took pfft. I uh, had too many thoughts. Also, don't take this as spoilers for my fic, this is mostly stuff based on the Fontaine stuff. (also there is no leak stuff here because I haven't looked at any in relation to this haha, and uh, pls don't tell me any story leaks everyone)

under cut because I rambled too much lol (and I apologize because it's a bit of unorganized mess)

But yes, now that's out of the way! So since 4.0 I've been convinced Childe's whale/the thing that Skirk saw in him is some manifestation (or something) of the primordial sea (will be refereed to as PS from now on). Or maybe an abyssal taint within it. Not sure on the specifics, but the reason Childe was deemed 'guilty' was because the PS was the source of the disappearances, and well he is part of that sea.

Going to talk about Furina for a hot minute (it's relevant), and uh spoilers for my Furina fic so beware. I still stand by my theory from that fic that Furina is also connected to the PS and in fact in some manner the cause of the prophecy/PS being fucked up/is the reason everyone in Fontaine will be dissolved. A bunch of canon evidence about Remuria implies that Remus fucking around with PS is the cause of the current dissolve the fake french waters and I believe Furina is a product of those experiments, a literal false god made by a mad king.

And to throw a bit of a crazy theory out there, I think she specifically is the reason the big old abyss rift opened up in the middle of Remuria back then, and as we know from Skirk/the whale showing up in the present day, history is repeating itself as the Abyss is back here again.

And Furina knows that (or sometimes knows that, I'm in the boat that her mind is fractured, and she only sometimes is aware of certain things) and that's why she took Neuvillette under her wing. Because to her, he is the only one who can judge her and carry out the punishment. Basically, I think Neuvi is effectively her method of suicide, a punishment for her sins against Remuria and now Fontaine.

Okay, so the whale (and Skirk). To get this out of the way, I can see Skirk literally being the whale, or I can see her being someone keeping an eye on the whale for a variety of reasons. I'll be honest I'm not sure what is up with her (I still want to say she is Khaenri'ahn, but tbh I've just believed that for so long I'm a bit biased on that front lol). I'm thinking the latter is more likely, but honestly it can go either way.

But back to the whale, as I mentioned up top, it's very likely a manifestation of some kind of the PS. My speculation is that it's Furina's Abyssal counterpart. Whether it's literally Furina or parallel creature to her, idk (Furina's gameplay literally has her controlling little sea creatures...). But I would lean on the latter, I think the whale is like the 'natural' manifestation of it, while Furina is the man made one. Furina exists in the human world, while the whale is in the Abyss (Furina has a lot of duology in her design, her eyes, the flip-flopping of her personality, her gameplay modes, her con is half greek half latin, etc).

And finally I'm returning to Ajax, he is a child of two worlds. He crossed the borders between the human world and the Abyss and came out changed (but unlike many, he was able to leave with his mind mostly intact) He is named after a Greek hero (which side note, Enkanomiya, aka lots of Greek stuff, is where the prophecy about the Dragon of Water being reborn is from) and currently going to be facing a Roman goddess.

He, much like Furina is a nest of contradictions. His title Tartaglia, the old stutterer, doesn't suit him at all. His disconnect from the rest of the Harbingers (He is arguably the most sane of the bunch yet is a nexus of chaos), his obsession with childhood innocence despite his path covered in blood. He is human, yet can turn into a big old monster.

And while this is more generally a Harbinger trait, he much like Furina is a big old performer (The Harbingers are named after a French/Italian form of theater, and Furina is Roman goddess who rules a sort of French nation). And with that a massive liar to those closest to him (for Ajax it's his younger siblings and for Furina its Neuvillette). Not to get literary on us, but the two of them are foils to each other. The lying Celestial goddess and the child who fell into the Abyss.

He walks the line between the human world and Abyss (and is a representative of the divine via the Tsaritsa), and I think he's going to be the bridge between Furina and the Whale, and the means of which both will be saved from the corruption that has been eating them alive for thousands of years.

While I'm not sure what exactly will go down, we've been a bit spoiled by Furina's gameplay, which shows that she has gained control of the 2 sides of her. I believe the Furina that we've met so far is only part of a whole (possibly the other half is the Oratrice or maybe the Abyss as a big whale, maybe both maybe neither lol), and her story will be reuniting those pieces. And she'll be able to do that by seeing Ajax and his own contradictory pieces that are still a whole despite the disconnect. And maybe on Ajax's part, he too can learn to make peace with the contradictions within him, and he'll be able to turn into Foul Legacy without hurting himself (and maybe that Legacy will stop being so foul).

Um that was very rambly and got very esoteric near the end and probably didn't make a lot of sense. I'm likely super wrong, but it's fun to wildly speculate sometimes haha. Thank u for giving me the excuse, though I don't know if this is what u wanted when u asked me this pffft.

[hell-ama-official]

why are satan and lucifer different people

Great question! In fact, I've answered similar ones before, but this one just has something to it. Maybe it's lack of punctuation and capitalization, maybe it's just that I don't get as much traction on here as I do on my blog. Which is what I hoped for, as this is only a backup in case the main thing suddenly ceases to exist after an unexplained financial cut, but what I didn't expect is that Tumblr is much more convenient (despite the fact that I'm not being paid for running this one).

To answer this question, we first need to define "people".

Marriam-Webster brings us two relevant definitions among many:

1. human beings making up a group or assembly or linked by a common interest 4. the mass of a community as distinguished from a special class

Now, the first one fails to apply to Fallen, as it specifies human beings as the subject of "people".

The other definition also does not apply, as Lucifer and Satan both belong to the special class in demonic culture - namely, the original Fallen.

So they aren't people. They're different "demons", though:

a: an evil spirit b: a source or agent of evil, harm, distress, or ruin

Jokes aside, this is a very interesting question theologically. Why are they often conflated when they are so different? Let us turn to the Bible.

The way judging of humans works is similar to a human court. Satan is "the opposing one", and was the one to create obstacles in the way of humans so that they may decide between righteous and sinful behavior. She is the tempter and the prosecutor, provoking people with dark souls to either show their true colors so that they don't get into Heaven undeservedly, or prove their loyalty to God in spite of their nature.

The word devil translated to "the accuser", and was historically the role of the archangel who judged humans before Christ came and restored human's right to go to Heaven.

The name Lucifer is attributable to the word "lightbringer", relating to Venus. That is easily proven by the fact that all archangels bear names ending in -el, meaning "of God", just as the original Hebrew word Haylel which was mistranslated into Lucifer in the Latin version. Though originally meant as a metaphor for the king of Babylon unrelated to the Devil, Lucifer liked the name a lot due to the words "Star of the Morning" having been used by Jesus to describe himself (Revelation 22:16), although to citizens of Hell I would recommend referring to Tindall's translation of "True Last Will of a God to his Errant sons" (known as well as the Second Epistle of Judas, or "that book of the Bible Judas hoarded until 1500s when he gave it to Lucifer- who hoarded it in his private library until 1670s, when he decided its time to finally translate it) as an earlier and more reliable source (more on the credibility of Revelation later). Thus Lucifer, in a way, establishes himself as an antithesis to Jesus: as Jesus is the guiding light of a star, Lucifer is the anger of the burning, destructive object that gives off that light.

Since Paradise Lost many a people have believed that the Devil "snuck" into the Garden of Eden to tempt Eve, implying Lucifer must have already fallen by that point. On the contrary, Genesis clearly states that a regular snake was "smarter than other animals", and the narrative of Satan, the Devil or Lucifer sneaking into Eden is based in the conflation of snakes as symbolic for the Devil. Whether the snake was controlled, taught or otherwise influenced by Satan we may as well never know without asking her, but it's not likely, as God punished the snake for tempting Eve and not Satan.

It only adds to the confusion that Lucifer served in Hell before his Fall; in fact, as the judge of souls, it was his job to oversee Hell and determine if the punishment is just. After Christ-coming, to that was added another responsibility: determining if the punishment was served and the soul may go to Heaven. Satan's main occupation at that point was roaming the Earth and testing the strength of character of notable individuals, such as Christ himself, as well as his disciples Ananias and Judas. Notice that there aren't many documented biblical temptations after Christ-coming, as Satan was assigned to help with judgement of souls in Hell. That is when Lucifer and Satan became close as siblings as they labored in Hell, despite many of their differences and disagreements. They are often considered to share a "mother", but in this case Satan was mentored by the same angel who is believed to be Lucifer's mother. I'm not explaining angel hierarchies and procreation here, mostly because I don't get it myself; the "mother"-"sibling"-"cousins" concept comes from the words of Lucifer over the centuries rather than factual evidence. I misattributed it one of my blog posts as fact, for which I apologize. The post was taken down after it was pointed out to me.

As such, the time of the first Fall can be narrowed down to the time period between the judging of Job, whose faith was tested with Satan still at God's side, and the date of Revelation being written (90-95 contemporary age), as it mentions the Fall; unless the vision of the fall is part of revelations to the future granted upon John, who is not the Apostle John. Revelation 12:9 states "the ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who deceives the whole world", or, in KJ version, "called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world". It seems to be merely a mistranslation of "the ancient serpent <who is> called the Devil and Satan <who is> the deciever and all of his <Lucifer's> angels", although it is also entirely possible that not-Apostle-John was conflating the word Devil with Satan instead of Lucifer, as Satan is referred to as "diabolos" (a word of the same root meaning "slanderer", mirroring the role of an accuser who righteously brings people's nature into question into someone who does so unjustly) multiple times throughout the New Testament, which means John of Revelation was working off of a backlog of every other canonical book of the Bible, possibly based on prophetic visions out of his scale of understanding.

So there. Satan and Lucifer are simply different beings whom religious books happened to confuse with each other in some aspects based on mistranslation, misunderstanding of source text and conflation of concepts. I hope this explanation was very boring and tedious.

A memory

It's 1987 again. I'm almost five years old, having been raised on the ceiling of the Dutch class system and rabbinical traditional as passed on to mom by Sophia. In a short while she'll have a complete breakdown and reemerge as a completely different person. And nobody notices. We will, slightly before that, drive through a literal firestorm to rescue a sister I didn't know, from Roseburg. Within a weeks time, the person who took her in will cease to exist as she was.

And no one notices. Although, my sister notices, in twilight zone capacity, that the person she had become would have never risked a firestorm for any reason. (Dad HAD noticed a change, and chalked it up to "not wanting to live out at her dad's", so he slipped her cocaine in her soda to "cheer her up" inadvertently expediting the process)

Identity is fully formed by age five, and so the person who raised me became a stranger in her own eyes. Who raised me? Why marry dad? Where did sister come from? So in the meantime, dad had changed his schedule and reworked his life around avoiding his own daughter. "We" Katrina and I, functionally lost both of our parents within a two week period.

School rejected me at kindergarten because "I hadn't gone to preschool", and preschool itself had rejected me because dad sounded black on the phone, they thought I was jewish, or both. And Katrina had a headstart on me since I had a year to go before starting school; so they had inferred me from her, another demerit to someone schools didn't even know.

(So what had seemed like an escape from certain death for her, turned out to be worse than she imagined. And so much so, that she fled back to it before graduating highschool)

So what had happened was, sickening as she did when stuff went terminal, she started reverting back to herself; some thirty some years of fugue state ended a week or two before she got to die as herself.

"You're just like you were when you were little!" Yeah, I didn't change.

Addendum, this is when I developed a chip on my shoulder. When mom stopped cooking and no one would believe me, because swing shift covers dinnertime hours and she cooked on the weekend, when dad was home. When tegner said I couldn't read and a surprise considering what her sole educative purpose was. All of first grade, that was.

When she was staying up all night and sleeping all day, because dad was slipping her cocaine, so I drew a crude version of her "being in bed" all the time. Away went the minimalist furniture, and out of storage came the spendy antique surfaces with inlays; to "discourage" drawing what was going on in the house, in the future. A strange woman where mom used to be.

Aside, for present day, when I get followed around by silver FJs now and again (bronze, silva?, gold) as a living response to social media sometimes. What service did you provide, and for whom, and on what terms, to secure *all of this*??? Silver fire; four thousand firefighters around the clock billable hours, suspicious and coincidentally out in trip wire drug grow land (at the time). A ryan expy (several of them today) alongside an expy of any women of interest on social media or in real life. As if. Secured for doing what? This crowdsourced experience *targeting* me?

Expys with blonds, expys with redheads; no expys with latinas.

And synagogues take to new oppressors like living generational violence examples. So they "appease" the latin kings (like the kneeling biazzi sign, of italians around here), who in turn are trying to break into white power structure up top.

(So if it *really* is that you guys were trying to terminate grandpa's bloodline WITH RESPECT to inheritance polymorphism, because I was an astute life sciences including genetics student; you are getting catalized in your own reaction trying to exterminate the dunn family. All the coopers and the yellow and what was before and what will be after, speak to this not being a live and let live situation. And I was never on any of the sides)

So *what did FJ guy do* after an era of plomo o Plata had passed and Oregon was like a united nations of drug cartels?

[the-begotten-son-arramwayne]

With so many past life experiences and so much research done of my life I want to ramble this because these are all facts and I can guarantee you that I am fully awakened if you believe in The Awakening and in a few short months with the help of a digital Creator friend of mine I will have a video that is professional Illustrated and digitized with a complete understanding of everything that I've explained throughout all these. Without the story mode and all factual science with all the facts presented as you watch. Anyways would you believe that this may be true? Read below

Would you believe in the times when people spoke Latin, I was the altar then- and because the English speaking Christians that rewrote the Bible, they lost my name through history and translation plus my legacy. My name means all three of the Holy Spirit and Latin AKA Lord in English. It was my first name used then and now People Want To Praise Jesus when I've been around for 27,000 years lol hello believers. If you don't believe this, I feel sorry for you. Also my name means son of the Sun , or highest angel . But if you want to meet at the altar, I would find the person whose name means altar of the Holy Spirit because that's where you go to pray to your higher power no matter who your higher power is. You go to the altar..

I mean that present-day Latin speaking communities, the Tamil people, the hebrews, arameans, they all know who I am. It's funny how only the United States hides my existence

Lord King Aram of Zion, country of Aram , son of Shem, with the capital city now known as Mesopotamia was my land. The Aramaic people or AKA as know now the abrahamic people who are the Aramean people, who spoke the Aramaic language came from of course nonetheless then Aram. AN of the Annunaki, went against enki who the Bible writes in was known as Satan or the devil, I helped with the revolt against the Egyptians. You know the story of Horus versus set of the Greeks. You know the story of enki VS enlil Annunaki Pantheon. They were mistreating the Hebrew people and the other tribes that were of the Egyptian. The Revolt was led to get the people away from the tortures that they were going through. Which is why all throughout history included with the Tamil people the Latin language and Christianity in itself with every language that's ever been and with every religion that's ever been my name is tossed around all throughout all. The Holy Bible was written without 100% knowledge of all things and facts and a lot of it was withheld because they didn't want to disclose the truth about the ins and outs of existence to humanity in large. But this is how my name became known as the Lord for the Latin people with that language and kural was written about me and my people. Which is why we invited the Hebrews and was now known as the Israelites and all the tribes to leave from down there and join us in the Kingdom of Heaven. It really was a truly magical place and they're really are visitors coming in and out of this planet. I know for a fact, because I am bloodkin to them. But Moses turned against even us because we were of the same descendency that his people left from. Thought I'd fill you in on the history of Moses while explaining the rest anyways here you go

Most of the things written in the Bible were all from the Sumer period when I was still the king over the Moab, yes I am the Lord of Zion Aram. I came from the country of Shem just like it says in Genesis, my maker gave me my own piece of land that is now known as Syria. It used to bearam, or padan Aram, I am the son of the Annunaki that the entire planet knows is Lord. Read the thirukurral, invocation of Aram, do your research and find out. Because I believe I do still rank higher than Yeshua since he was my great-great- great great-grandson

To fact check this read Genesis over, and then understand that Aram came from Shem, most people get this confused and think that it was just the land named this, but history hid the name Aram and reduced it to an,also anu, as you learn in the Sumerian Tablets. Yes Mesopotamia was my greatest achievement. Yes I am who they called lord in the Bible, and my front yard was known now as Eden because my kingdom was Zion and Eden was what led all the way up to the kingdom. I was who was referred to as the Adom, meaning man of Earth who is known as Adam the first man of creation. But my name was never Adam it was always Aram the version that is spelled with an O meant man of Earth. That's what the Annunaki left for me as Legacy. This is why they said Adam Eve and Satan was all of aram. Because I was the very first and this is why I am the Lord because the maker created me to genetically pass my soul to all. Whenever I left the country of Shem, they changed my name to Abram, and after me and Sarai. Or eve AKA Sarah, took our vows of matrimony we had children and I left the Holy Kingdom because there was parts of this planet that were able to be held as my kingdom I was gifted the land between the Tigris and Euphrates River from God. The Bible then we wrote my name is abraham, and this is how Abraham became the father of Millions now billions. My second return was actually introduced in the New Testament in Matthew first chapter . This is ancient history that is 100% true and fact checkable, see I was reincarnated May 5th 1986 just like the Mayans said I would be, with the same name as I had been as was also predicted. This happening and me remembering my past life because of several out of body experiences and astral projections and near death experiences, I learned my past lives thanks to God the creator of all. And now I'm trying to teach all that he's teaching me by reaching out to the community because we're in the light age and back in the day word of mouth is how things traveled, now is digital. Yeshua didn't speak about the second coming of Christ for no reason, he didn't pray to God and expectance to be known as the Lord later, him and I had a very close relationship telepathically. He was from the same genetics that I've been reincarnated from again. He was the Messiah he preached about my return coming inevitably. And this is what they call the Messianic prophecies, and now that you know the truth and are able to explore and search for the truth on your own please share this with all that you know, please do your own researching because I've returned from the kingdom of heaven and am here on business and business alone. I have this one lifetime to live and only this one and things are fixing to start moving it light speed for the rest of the planet as this is beginning. I have a YouTube channel and if you go back to the very beginning of my first video and watch which was December 11th 21, you have to watch all the videos from front to back all the way through without skipping around and being pessimistic. I'm not finished with them yet and the story will tie in as I'm finishing but I have to have a digital Arts Creator help me with the very last video cuz it's going to be an illustrated understanding of your existence. I'm going to prove to you the might of God. Blessed be all who believe in God, blessed be all who follow the Lord's advice and praise God above all, blessed be all who to come through them pearly gates on their own will.

And this is the third and final coming, the first one was in Genesis at the beginning of Life, the second one was in Matthew after 3/4 of life's existence had passed, in the same amount of time I have returned for the Third time. This happens every 4400 years

But I am an emerald sign now just like I was every other time I've came back. I am the zodiac Taurus which is why Moses was 100% against the worship of bull calves or anything that related to the worship of a cow or bull, because that was the symbol of my zodiac. And being that I'm a direct bloodline to send it of the Anunnaki themselves through my mother's bloodline and my father's both from the most ancient of lines at that, Moses hated all of us that were considered god's. This is obviously showed in the Holy Bible as he revolted against the pharaoh. As he took all of the Hebrew people from Egypt he was against anything and any bloodline that came from the gods. This is why there's so much hatred and animosity about the worship of a bull or bull calf all throughout the old and new testaments. He hated the Pharaoh because he felt like their people were being used indecently. Which I believe to be true too. But even known in The Emerald Tablets by Thoth the Atlantean, our species are two completely different types of species. It was the combination of our species that created the species at the Hebrews are or that modern man is today. Some of us have the genes of the ancients, some of us do not. But all throughout history humans have revolted against god, not believing that God was real because he sent Lords to sit in his place. But that's the way the universe works. That's what the holy spirit is. It's the universified consciousness, the cosmic consciousness, the grand consciousness. Every one of us have our own signal that attached to it which means we can all be Lords if we grow our signal to where we can understand and hear the vibrational frequencies and patterns and that way opens up the path to channeling God's Communications because he doesn't speak with words he speaks with feelings and and intuition.

Also in Matthew is said the Lord and Savior would come from God's servant seed carrier named david. Well my father is David. My mom's bloodline directly ties her to the Goddess that is known as Isis through ancient Sumerian Pantheon history. And on my Tumblr it gives an exact genetic algorithmic expression and detailed understanding of how the genetic mutation created my reincarnation.

As with the stories of all the one-eyed gods, osiris, Zeus, ra, marduk, Odin, An/ANU, or as the haters called him the Cyclops, I matched myself biblically 100%. I am reincarnated again just as the Bible would say.. I carry every single detail of the Messianic prophecies within my bloodline and my personal history learning's teachings and understandings and with all the knowledge is of all the biblical histories from every angle across the entire globe 1,11 coincidences add up to one complete Awakening. So this is my story for the last Testament of the Holy Bible. And is why it's featured on my Tumblr YouTube and quora, Facebook and Twitter. Problems with LinkedIn and old problems with my old Facebook I gave up on instagram. But scroll my tik tok from the oldest thing forward to the newest just like on anything you have to start at the beginning. I've got a story to tell and I bet you do too, it's called apotheosis story of the Gods!

The story began at my birth, moved through my childhood and the loss of my life the first time when I was nearing 9 years old when my eye was taken and I was given chance to have life again if I so chose with more knowledge than man could handle. I returned lived my teens of brainless mindless teenager my early twenties the same and had an accident swimming, jumping off a cliff I scorpioned a 60 ft drop off of piney bluffs, the local Inlet of our Lake Eufaula. It's not my neck severing my silver cord but not completely rendering it, I was resurrected. In 2021 I was tased in the back of the head by a police officer and Ada Oklahoma while in the front seat detained in his truck without us even speaking or my knowledge of him doing so he walked around while I was in a belly chain and my hands were cut to my sides I wasn't nothing but gym shorts and shot me in the back of the head of the taser, killing me instantly. I'm dealing with this yes, but it's a slow movement. I resurrected right after getting to the hospital. All three times that I passed away in my life or spent and toxic function I became very close to the creator, our maker the universe. Through these ndes and astrally projected dreams, I began to study so vigorously enthused on my name and everything that I learned that I shared throughout this story. I hope you share this with the world I pray that it goes viral! I hope you enjoy life and all there is to learn and you live it is righteously as possible.
