More Speculation

So if we look at the pattern established and assume the events of Gwitch are in some way following the beats of Norse mythology, who would Suletta be?

At first glance, there's nothing explicitly/symbolically mirroring her character. But if we take a closer look pre-series and thematically, one does take shape.

Suletta is bound to Mercury throughout her life, a rocky desolate planet home only to laborers mining for Permet. The only people she interacted with were Merecury's scarce populace and Prospera. The only figure with similar circumstances, is the dreaded Fenrisulfr-- of whom is chained to a desolate rock and fed by the one-handed Tyr. Does this remind you of anyone?

Tyr is also thematically similar with Prospera if we consider his attestations; War, Order, and Justice.

It's a parallel that feels intentional with everything else. Prospera also desires justice, though her exact dealings with QZ are suspect. She wants to establish a new world order. Her chaining of 'Fenrir' would be just as significant since that would make Suletta the bringer of Ragnarok. The events of G-Witch did begin the day she left Mercury. So will she also break her fetters and bring the end of the 'gods'?

Note: Tomatoes are sometimes called 'wolf apple/peach' because they're eaten by maned wolves

G Witch and Norse Mythology

I think we all know Okouchi harks to both Utena and The Tempest with the writing, but an influence that's underexplored is Norse myth. The following will be a quick mention and breakdown of these references, starting from the blatant to obscure.

Fólkvangr

Show: Hidden laboratory inside an asteroid. Under the control of the Vanadis institute and where the bloody events of the prologue occur.

Norse: Field ruled over by the goddess Freyja where half of those that die in combat go upon death, whilst the other half go to Odin in Valhalla.

Vanadis

Show: The institute which pioneered the GUND-format and gundams. They were disbanded and violently stopped in their medical and military operations.

Norse: Also known as Freyja, Vanadis is a goddess of war, fertility, and witchcraft/magic. She has dominion over Fólkvangr.

Gundams Lfrith Ur and Thorn

Show: Gundams piloted by the witches from Earth; Sophie and Norea. Sophie pilots Ur while Norea pilots Thorn.

Norse: Ūr or Uruz is a rune meaning the following-

It governs shaping and forcing fortunate circumstances creatively through will and inspiration, self-healing and maintenance of good mental and physical health, assertion of home ground, personal space, independence and freedom, strength and tenacity, courage, persistence against all odds. Uruz is a symbol of the wild bovine, a reminder that cattle were once wild creatures. Uruz represents young warriors. https://runesecrets.com/rune-meanings/uruz

Thorn or Thurisaz-

It governs destruction of enemies, curses binds and fetters, awakening the will to action, breaking resistance of blockages in body, mind and spirit, Increased potency and prowess in romantic relationships, and understanding of the division and separation of all things. Thurisaz to be described as a thorn that is most sharp, a grim and evil thing to take grip on or touch. Thurisaz is also a fertility rune in the sense that it breaks down the barren and hard, rocky realms into workable soil as to bring fruitfulness to crops and wombs. https://runesecrets.com/rune-meanings/thurisaz

These are just the ones I caught so if you see another, feel free to comment! The next will just be speculation based on my own knowledge.

Yggdrasil and Odin

It occurs to me as I drink in this image composition that it looks similar to Yggdrasil, or the world tree in Norse myth. Aerial forms the trunk/branches while the people are its leaves. Considering all the norse references thus far, it feels intentional. And I fully believe it is when you spot Miorine falling towards the base.

Her fall to the base of the 'world tree' is relevant because of this image. In Norse mythology, Odin has one eye because he sacrificed it to the Mimisbrunnr (Mimir's well located beneath Yggdrasil) in exchange for a drink of the well's water. It grants Odin wisdom and insight. It wouldn't surprise me if Mio is forced to make a similar trade during S2, either to solve a problem or make an escape. (from QZ maybe?)

I'll likely add to this if I notice anything else

"Ah hello there." the demon purrs with a grin. "I haven't seen you around town before. Are you new here? A visitor perhaps?"

merecurial entered the Book Case

"Hello and welcome to 'The Book Case'," she greeted. The book keeper spared the other a bow, adjusting her glasses once her posture was straightened. 

"How may I assist you?"

[sicut-reginae]

merecurial started following you

Hey it's regem-ingernorum in a different fandom but yeah I'm gonna follow your OC because I'm sure your writing's still just as amazing as it was with Gregory and yeah hi it's been awhile lol.

[ I vote for c--phantomhive. Since I think keeping 'phantomhive' would reflect Ciel better. ]

// Hah, I actually liked c—phantomhive better and it was actually my first choice.

See, here’s what I did. 

I figured that the most popular vote would go down, and the least voted will be the winner. I’m a little sneaky so.

c—phantomhive is more canon, people will understand which blog they’ll be going to. As unique c—phantom is, I prefer the canon one at least for now.

"I have no regrets."

He sighs to himself, appraising the young man before him rather nonchalantly. A rare one for his age. 

A brow quirked, he spoke: “An intriguing notion coming from a man of your age.”

[ Hello there. Thank you for the welcome; I thought that was really sweet. Nice meeting you. Meanwhile I'll just lurk and read your rp threads because I really like your portrayal of Claude. ]

[but my Claude is not that good]

You’re welcome, dear, nice to meet you too! Feel free to talk to me anytime you want~

"Oh, a child? Now, what is a child like you doing out by himself?"

"Uncle B. came over and I can’t play the piano inside, so mama put me out.

Who are you?”

✎★❤

✎ - hobbies?I don’t really have any?? Lots of my time goes to learning languages though - that can count as a hobby. And history too, yes. ★ - why did I choose to rp as this character?Ahh - I wanted a challenge. A character that I can develop further, especially with the freedom that comes with rp’ing someone so little is known about. My previous muses have all been on the nice, friendly side, so I figured a character as selfish and gruesome as Kigiro would be a wonderful change, really.  ❤ - My dream career/job?I’d love having a job that involves traveling or history in some way (/ω＼)

✈ - Places I really wanna visit?

Too many. I’ve already visited several countries, but there are still a lot left. The ones I’d like to visit as soon as possible are Ireland, Japan, India and Russia.

And then there’s the journey of my dreams - visiting every single state of the USA driving a Volkswagen van.

Meredith freezes at the touch, everything else so foreign except himself. Then it was a matter of 'prying' Charles' fingers from his now half-buttoned dress shirt with his talons, his own hands behind his back. He smiled. Mirthlessly. "I will still say no, but it's always polite to ask."

How would your character react to mine going up to yours and unzipping/unbuttoning an article of their clothing?

"Mon dieu," he deadpans, while inside his heart rackets from some irrationally inexplicable fear and the tips of his fingers involved in contact tingle with an uncanny foreboding. "Must’ve been some ungodly presence that compelled me to do it. Won’t be happening again, mind."

♔♚

Leave me a ♔ for an IC fact or a ♚ for an OOC fact.♔ - Peter has an extensive knowledge of weapons, specifically guns and rifles. So far he has continuously flat out refused to let anyone know where he gained that knowledge from.♚ - I am awful at keeping up with things and projects that I start, such as rp accounts. Only it happens in every aspect of my life too - and I am almost 100% sure I have pissed off each and every person I know because of this.
