Ephesians 6:12 (NIV) - For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Toshiro’s Revolution.

New trailer dropped, new speculation. (Edit: more information than my guesswork exists, changing now. New Information comes from here)

Let’s jump to the most notable thing here, Toshiro’s persona.

What I initially believed was Toshiro’s transformation into a Ruler, was according to the site above the awakening of his persona. but its strange that if they would show that in the third trailer, that his eyes don't become golden like everyone else's, even the site didn't seem confidant with the Persona, treating it more like an assumption than anything else, odd.

Speaking of kingdoms, the third kingdom has been revealed, based on schools and acedemia, perhaps Shujin itself.

This is its ruler, perhaps the principal or superintendent.

There’s also this shot of a kingdom transforming while the thieves are in it.

I couldn’t discern who’s kingdom this is, but it’s interesting that it’s changing before all the thieves eyes and they are terrified by it.

Erina and Toshiro are related, somehow.

Throughout the trailer, we see shots of Erina being downed and Toshiro doing something about it, but what was most interesting to me was this.

This unidentified person, speaking in a feminine voice, is related to Toshiro, because the trailer immediately cuts to him after she’s done speaking, and with the connection the two have, I’m willing to bet this is Erina’s human self, and Toshiro’s daughter.

This is the final kingdom, the source of the new metaverse, and the home of the guy corrupting the Velvet Room.

In one of the Nyaahoo news episodes, Lavenza directly states that the Velvet Room was affected by an outside influence, hence why it’s a forge.

Both Tactica’s VR and this Kingdom are heavily based on machinery, gears and cogs in particular.

There’s also a shot of Ann and Ryuji attacking the machinery, and later one with Joker leading a group charge against a barrier of some sort, just like the fight against EMMA from Strikers.

Love, the force that moved even the mightiest of rulers. From the passionate flames of Antony and Cleopatra to the profound love and partnership of Cyrus the Great and Cassandane, these ancient love stories reveal the universal language of the heart.

SSS AU

Greetings everyone, my name is Kasey and I decided this is the place where I will share my AU I made for nearly 4 years I think and it’s called “Swords, Shields, and Strongholds” or “SSS”.

It’s about engines in medieval times and they’ve been through many eras in Ulfstead Castle, some great and some dark, but they stick together as a family. What’s more, they can turn into beasts and titans.

I was inspired by @monstersteam and I would like to thank her for the inspiration and allowing me to open up my AU.

Here are the main characters…

Thomas

Edward

Henry

Gordon

James

Percy

Toby

Emily

Queen Cassandra

Princess Eleanor

Guards (They are idiots, lol)

The Hatt Family

And there’s more!

Feel free to ask as many questions as you like!

Have a good day!💖

BELUS Jupiter, when his father Nimrod had ruled for 56 years, the son himself reigned, in the 1844th year of the world and the 2118th year before the birth of Christ. He built up the marked-out foundations of Babylon, more like a fortress than a city. He enjoyed constant peace around the borders of his empire. Consult Berossus book 5, as above.

Over night's endless eternity

Where the stars reside

Where the flame of love

illuminate the skies

And bring dreams to life

Random Thoughts on Ascension day.

In Germany also known as Father's Day. When fathers meet up with friends. Go on a hike with handcarts full of drinks and food, forget about their daily work and problems and have a good time. The actual meaning of the day - that Jesus returns to his father - moves into the background. No problem. After all: It's just another ancient story that defies Logic and - Gravity. Right? I see it differently. And start with an even older story of a powerful ruler from the Ancient Orient who staged his personal ascension. His name is Naram Sin of Akkad. Until today we see impressive statues of him in museums and a very special stele too. A giant with a helmet with horns that emphasize his superhuman strength. We see him climbing a stairway - up to the stars. His followers right behind him. Enemies fall or are trampled under his feet. What a scenery. This guy knew how to impress others. He knew a lot about - Progaganda. I have to think of some modern powerful people who are also making their way up - at the price of people being left behind or becoming victims. Elon Musk comes to mind with his dream of reaching the stars. A leader for whom other humans are only means to an end. And then i must think of this Carpenter King from Nazareth. Who wanted to help others. Women and children, outsiders, strangers, the many victims of the powerful few. He had a dream of a better world. He had a vision of peace and social justice. And he gave his life for it. Without fear of the powerful, who tried their very worst to crush and destroy him and his friends. Ascension Day is a reminder to me that this story went on and continues to this day. Ascension Day teaches us to look ahead and up. Take courage even when things get tough. To make this world a better place. Let's try. He show us the way and will help us to succeed. Ascension Day is an reminder: Dreams and Visions can come true. Change often begins with an individual who breaks new ground and inspires others. Helps them to focus on their dreams, goals and ideals and keep moving. Remember: The sky is the limit! ;)

For the next few weeks, I will post depictions, in chronological order, of all the rulers of the Mongol Empire from 1206-1388. Each will have their names in English, modern and traditional Mongolian scripts, as well as the temple names given to them during the Yuan Dynasty

First up is a man who needs no introduction— Chinggis Khan, founder of the Mongol Empire. Born Temüjin son of Yisügei around 1162, after a youth of hardship, he solidified his rule over the people of the Mongolian plateau and established the Mongol Empire in 1206. From there he began a series of conquests that took him to North China, across Central Asia to the borders of India. His state had an immense transformative impact on the regions it conquered, and descent from him remained one of the premiere forms of legitimacy for rulers as late as the 18th-19th centuries in some areas.

While he had a number of wives, the most important was his yeke khatun Börte. His four sons with her —Jochi, Chagatai, Ögedei, and Tolui— each became important dynastic progenitors in their own right. The uncertain paternity of Jochi ultimately culminated in his third son, Ögedei, becoming his designated heir. Chinggis died while campaigning against the Tangut Kingdom in 1227, possibly from internal injuries after a fall from horseback, but due to his orders for secrecy, the precise reasons will never be known. He was buried in a secret grave on Mount Burkhan Khaldun in Mongolia, a practice most of his successors followed. His grandson Khubilai posthumously entitled him as Yuan Taizu, “Great Founder of the Yuan Dynasty.”
