Not art this time but...

Headcanon: Lucifer visits Earth every decade or so as a part of his job as the ruler of Hell. He does it to learn about new sins as "subtly" as he could.

Lucifer: What is ray-sings-sims? Raising-sims? Raisins? Rain-Race-sin? R-Racisms? YES! That! Is it the one where people hate on the opposite sex for absolutely no reason even though humans were all made of the same cosmic dust?

Black woman: (Looking amused at the most stereotypical rich white guy she's ever met asking about sexism and racism.)

Lucifer: Yeah. This cocaine thing is doing nothing for me. I don't really get it, but this is a sin too. So marking that off the list! Thanks for letting me have a go at this, uh, Mr. Dealer? That's your last name, right? Oh man. I'm really bad at remembering names, but have this as a token of my appreciation. (Gives him a thousand dollars which is basically worth even more at the time.)

Drug dealer: (Gobsmacked the guy was still able to keep walking after practically inhaling every drug in existence back then.)

Lucifer: So this, um, cult thing? How did it get assigned to our department again? It sounds just like what Heaven does to me. Huh. Ah well. I guess I'll just roll with it like everyone else here. (Shrugs.) Yay, cult! Sooo do I get to keep the robe? It's kinda comfy- Aw wait there's murder? One died a-and another... Oh... OH... Ooooh boy. Oof. Yikes... So this means I can DEFINITELY keep the robe, right?

Lucifer: Ah yes. Burning the witch. Time to list down all the sorry souls who threw their life into the flame by believing in the occult arts. (Lists down everyone in the crowd who burned said "witch.") And as for Ms. Agnes The Witch here... Hmm. Well, that's for Heaven to worry about! Toodles~! Or, uh, Tickety-Boo!

(Needless to say, dear Luci has been an accidental charmer back on Earth. ^v^ Specially to sinners and people who were just unjustly treated during those times. He just had to see what every sin was for himself and try them out from time to time, but he didn't know he's been perceived as acting with the manners and traditions he gathered from the LAST decade he was on Earth so to everyone who's long gone pass those times, he comes off as a polite old-school rich white man. Naive yet surprisingly non-judgemental.)

Obey Me: Zodiac Signs

Disclaimer: I am NOT a professional astrologer, but I am an astrological witch (meaning my craft is based on star placement) and I have studied for a couple years. This post was made purely for fun and you're free to disagree in my ask box as long as you're respectful. Oh, and English is not my first language, so I apologize for any mistakes!

Lucifer: Gemini - Virgo

Mammon: Virgo - Sagittarius

Levi: Aries - Aquarius

Satan: Libra - Aries

Asmodeus: Taurus - Scorpio

Beelzebub: Pisces - Taurus

Belphegor: Pisces - Taurus

Lucifer: Gemini - Virgo

Does Lucifer have two natures? Yes, I think so, but not in the way Geminis do. They're chatty, playful, known for expressing emotions externally! That's not him! Virgos, on the other hand, are defined by their responsible and systematic nature, their logical thinking, their perfectionism. It's an Earth sign too, meaning it is big on family and comfort. So Lucifer. He probably has a few Aries and Capricorn placements.

Mammon: Virgo - Sagittarius

C'mon, you've seen his room, there's no way in Heaven that this boy is a Virgo. Logical, organized, responsible? Mammon? Solmare had to be kidding with this one. Sagittarius is optimistic to the point of naivety (remember the virtual wallet scam?), adventurous, enthusiastic, all we know and love about our second-born! It's a perfect fit and I will die on this hill. Also, Leo placements, at least a couple.

Levi: Aries - Aquarius

This one I don't have many oppositions. Aries is competitive, driven, as we know Leviathan to be. I just don't think it's the best fit for him, maybe just for a couple placements? Aquarius, a sign known for its obstination, eccentricity, and solitary nature, however, is so Leviathan I could write a whole post just about how well an Aquarius Sun correlates with his personality.

Satan: Libra - Aries

I could see Satan as a Libra, so much that it could be his Rising or even a First-House placement in major planets, but Sun, I don't really see it. Organized, diplomatic, a little entitled, and oh so charming, Libra could fit him like a glove, if not for Aries representing competition, honesty, drive, and the need for aggression and superiority, and fitting even better.

Asmodeus: Taurus - Scorpio

Again, could see him as a Libra. A Taurus? Not really. Stable, hard-working, food-obsessed... It's a sign that is also hedonistic in some ways, and very perfectionistic - for that, I'll say he has a couple placements in the sign, major ones on Libra too -. Sun, I'm afraid I'll have to go with Scorpio. He's passionate, extremely curious, with an "all or nothing" mentality, and it's SO Scorpio. This depends on how you view Asmo, I guess, if you see how little we know about him as secrecy - and Solmare not giving him proper attention -, and not shallowness.

Beel and Belphie: Pisces - Taurus

The twins have a few Pisces placements, Cancer too, in my opinion, but Sun will have to be Taurus, no doubt. It's a sign that is patient, easily zoned out, and big on enjoying earthly pleasures, especially the simple ones such as food and sleep. Pisces is impressionable and Cancer is manipulative, both things we know Beel and Belphie to be. To me, their chart is the easiest one to guess.

Hey. Hey, you. Don’t rely on Google to know which shows are Arrowverse. Google doesn’t list all of them. If you want the entirety of the Arrowverse experience, including web-series, mini-series and comics, here you go

The CW’s Arrow, 2012-2020. This is the real kickstarter of the Arrowverse and is completely necessary for proper binging.

Arrow is also a 2012-2013 comic series that ties into the first season. It is unnecessary.

Arrow: Season 2.5, 2014-2015, is also a comic series, filling the gaps between seasons two and three. Ben Turner/Bronze Tiger’s death has since been retconned. It is unnecessary.

Blood Rush is a six-episode web-series that premiered alongside Arrow. Felicity Smoak has a mission for Roy Harper. It is available online for viewing, but it’s unnecessary.

Arrow: The Dark Archer, another comic book series, ran in 2016. This is set between seasons three and four, apparently focusing on Malcolm Merlyn’s backstory. This is said to have continuity errors. It is not necessary.

The CW’s The Flash, 2014-present (2020). This one introduces meta-humans into the fold and is necessary.

The Flash: Season Zero is a 2014-2015 comic series that takes place before the events of the show. 22 chapters have been retconned from canon. It is not necessary.

The Chronicles of Cisco is an official tumblr (2015-2017) and instagram (2017-present) blog. It details the “stories and reflections of the eponymous character set in the Arrowverse,” meaning background details, along with Cisco’s thoughts on daily vigilante life. Some references to Season Zero. It is unnecessary.

Chronicles of Cisco is a four part web-series that aired in 2016. Cisco works on Barry’s suit. It features a total of two characters. It is unnecessary.

Stretched Scene is a 2017 mini-series starring Ralph Dibny. Ralph goes about annoying Team Flash. It aired during the Flash season 4’s commercial breaks. It is unnecessary.

NBC’s Constantine, 2014-2015. This show was retroactively added during Arrow’s fourth season. This is demi-necessary? I got by without it, at least. John Constantine reprises his role as a recurring character for the later seasons of Legends of Tomorrow.

John Con Noir is a 2015 web series with one episode. It is in clay-stop motion form. I think(?) it was made during a petition for Constantine season 2, of which it did not receive. It’s fourth-wall-breaking, non-canon and unnecessary.

The CW’s Supergirl, 2015-present. Until recently, this show existed on another universe where CW’s Barry Allen would visit sometimes. It now exists in the combined universe of Earth-Prime. That being said, it introduces the concept of aliens, and is necessary.

Adventures of Supergirl is a 2016 digital comic book series. “Kara Zor-El landed on Earth after many years stuck in en route from her now-destroyed home planet Krypton, having followed in her famous cousin Superman's footsteps. Upon arriving, she was taken in by the lovely Danvers family and taught to hide her un-Earthly powers from sight. As the world falls in love with her super hero cousin Superman, Kara starts to feel the urge to embrace her powers, especially when her powers can save someone she loves.” Tales from Kara’s childhood and transition, I believe(?). It is unnecessary.

CW Seed’s Vixen, 2015-2016. This is an animated web series (compiled into a movie) that stars the granddaughter of Amaya Jiwe, a main character on Legends of Tomorrow, discovering her abilities and becoming a vigilante in Detroit. This has since been retconned as the result of a change in the timeline. Vixen/Mari is featured on one episode of Arrow, marking the character’s first and only live-action appearance. It is unnecessary (but a fun watch!).

The CW’s DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, 2016-present. It takes characters from the above shows and continues their arcs, including Ray Palmer, the Darhks, Eobard Thawne, Malcolm Merlyn, Sara Lance, Mick Rory, Kendra Saunders, Carter Hall, Jefferson Jackson, Martin Stein, and Leonard Snart. It is necessary.

Mr. Parker’s Cul De Sac is a 2020 mini series focusing on Mr. Parker’s daily life. It’s unnecessary.

CW Seed’s Freedom Fighters: The Ray, 2017-2018. This is an animated web-series with the same number of episodes as Vixen. It is unnecessary, but is a good watch if you’re curious about Earth-X.

The CW’s Black Lightning, 2018-present. This was a separate series until the development of Earth-Prime. It introduces drugs that can imitate metahuman abilities. As it’s now a part of the main Arrowverse lineup, it is probably(?) necessary.

Crisis on Infinite Earths Giant is a 2019-2020 comic book series that ties into the Infinite Earths crisis. It is unnecessary.

The CW’s Batwoman, 2019-present. The character was first introduced in the Elseworlds crisis. Since then, she’s developed into her own title character. Kate Kane is to be replaced with a different main character in season 2. As this show is a part of the main Arrowverse lineup, it is probably(?) necessary.

The CW’s Superman & Lois, a confirmed upcoming series that will premiere in 2021(?). It will most likely tie with Supergirl sometimes. That being said, I don’t know if it’ll be necessary.

The CW’s Green Arrow and The Canaries, an upcoming series that is said to be in development. It is a spin-off of Arrow, and will likely star Mia Queen, Dinah Drake and Black Siren’s Laurel Lance.

The CW’s Painkiller, an upcoming series that is said to be in development. With Jordan Calloway reprising his role as Khalil Payne, this will act as a spin-off of Black Lightning.

The CW’s Wonder Girl, an upcoming series that is said to be in development. It will feature the DC comics character of the same name.

Shows featured in the Infinite Earths crisis currently reside in alternate universes/dimensions and are thus not canon on Earth-Prime, but exist in the Arrowverse. Interactions are not likely. Here is the list in the case they do crossover again.

CBS’ The Flash, 1990-1991. This alternate Barry Allen makes a total of four appearances on CW’s The Flash, two on Arrow, and one on Supergirl.

The Flash TV Special is a 1991 comic book special with only two chapters consisting of these characters. It is not necessary.

The Flash is also a 1991 video game based on this show. It is not necessary.

The WB’s Birds of Prey, 2002-2003. There is one appearance made by these characters during the Infinite Earths crisis. It is unclear if their version of Harley Quinn is the same one belonging to the Arrowverse, as she is yet to make an official physical Earth-Prime appearance beyond a faceless line, so it is up for debate. It is probably unlikely given that the Birds of Prey do not currently inhabit Earth-Prime(?).

The CW’s Stargirl, 2020-present, Earth-2. This show reboots the “Justice Society of America” featured in Legends. That being said, it is not currently interconnected.

The Batman TV series universe, Earth-66.

The Batman Anthology universe, Earth-89.

The Superman Anthology universe, Earth-96.

The Smallville universe, Earth-167.

The Lucifer universe, Earth-666.

The DC Extended Universe, Earth-TUD13.

The Swamp Thing universe, Earth-19.

The Titans universe, Earth-9.

The Doom Patrol universe, Earth-21.

Over the past century of popular culture, Satan has acquired the souls of delta blues musicians, incited youth rebellions, possessed small children and goats, impregnated unsuspecting women and transmitted evil through backwards lyrics on heavy metal records. But recently, to paraphrase the Rolling Stones, the nature of his game has been puzzling us.

The forces aligned against Satan have become so objectionable that he no longer looks like the bad guy. They include such groups as the Westboro Baptist church, notorious for its hate speech against LGBTQ people, Jews, Muslims and other groups, all of which it condemns as “satanic frauds”. There’s the Trump administration, in league with the US religious right, which has been aggressively pushing anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ legislation, not to mention engaging in overt Islamophobia. Those forces would also include the 20,000 people who recently signed an online petition condemning the Amazon TV adaptation of the cult novel Good Omens – about a demon and an angel – as “another step to make satanism appear normal”.

Now, a documentary threatens to rehabilitate Satan. Directed by Penny Lane, Hail Satan? follows the early adventures of the Satanic Temple, an institution that has hit upon the perfect counter-strategy to the evangelicals’ efforts to recouple church and state. Based in Salem, Massachusetts (where else?), the Satanic Temple is officially recognised as a tax-exempt religious organisation. As such, it has been claiming the same rights and privileges as those obtained by evangelical Christian groups – albeit with a prankster sensibility.

Where the city council of Phoenix, Arizona, began its meetings with a Christian prayer, for example, the Satanic Temple demanded that satanic prayers should also be said. The council chose to drop the prayers altogether. When the Child Evangelism Fellowship set up the pro-Christian Good News clubs in US public schools, the Satanic Temple introduced its own After School Satan clubs – promoting scientific rationalism. And when the Oklahoma state capitol permitted the installation of a Ten Commandments sculpture in its grounds, the Satanic Temple campaigned to erect its own 8ft-high statue of Baphomet, the goat-headed, cloven-hoofed deity.

“It became very apparent that there was a real need for what we were doing,” says Lucien Greaves, the Satanic Temple’s spokesman and de-facto leader. “More and more, they try to whittle away the rights of others and define us as a Christian nation, to the extent that religious liberty applies to them alone. That’s just a scary circumstance for us to be in.”

Greaves is exactly what you would expect the earthly ambassador of Satan to look like. Pale-skinned, well-groomed and dressed entirely in black, and with one clouded eye, he could have walked off the set of a teen vampire series. Harvard-educated, he often sounds as if he is reading from an academic text. There is no mention of God in the US constitution, he points out, but there is a first amendment protecting freedom of expression and religion. The words “under God” were added to the US pledge of allegiance in 1954, and “In God we trust” first printed on US currency in 1956 – so as to differentiate the US from the godless communists. “Up to that point, it had been E pluribus unum – ‘from many, one’ – which was a much better motto.”

Greaves doesn’t believe in God, Satan, “evil” or anything supernatural, he says. Nor does he sacrifice babies or serve a secret coven. The Satanic Temple is nontheistic, and its principles are broadly liberal humanism. The first of its seven tenets, for example, is: “One should strive to act with compassion and empathy towards all creatures in accordance with reason.”

So why call it “satanism”? “The metaphor of Satan is just as important to a lot of us as it would be to anybody who takes it literally because we grew up in a Judaeo-Christian culture. It really does speak to us in a very pointed and poignant way about our place in our culture and what our affirmative values are … and, of course, it defines what we oppose: these kinds of theocratic norms and authoritarian structures.”

The Satanic Temple’s interpretation is closer to that of Milton’s Satan in Paradise Lost, Greaves says. “The rebel against tyranny, who stands in stark contrast to that mindless superstition and that mob mentality that causes people to give themselves the moral self-licensing to create the ‘other’… and thereby victimise people.”

You could say that is in keeping with Satan’s place in pop culture. Only occasionally has he been taken as a literal figure of evil; more often, the devil represents the outsider, the provocateur, the one with the best tunes. To be labelled “the devil’s music”, as jazz, blues and rock’n’roll all were, was the best possible branding. The Rolling Stones expressed their Sympathy and called an album Their Satanic Majesties Request, but nobody considered them serious satanists. Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page would have been more qualified; he inserted mystical symbols into the band’s imagery, owned an occult bookshop in London and was a keen collector of the works. He even bought the Scottish home of the occultist Aleister Crowley (whose face also appears on the cover of the Beatles’ Sgt Pepper album). Page collaborated with the film-maker Kenneth Anger, whose films of the era, such as Lucifer Rising and Invocation of My Demon Brother, brought together a Who’s Who of 60s occult-dabblers, including Page, Mick Jagger, Donald Cammell, Marianne Faithfull, the Manson family member Bobby Beausoleil, and Anton LaVey.

LaVey is acknowledged as the founder of modern satanism, although he, too, was more theatrical showman than genuine prince of darkness. He strove to look the part, with his shaved head, sharp little goatee and black cloak – imagery largely gleaned from old horror movies. He opened the First Church of Satan in San Francisco in 1966, synthesising various occult sources into a semi-coherent philosophy, and attracting a few celebrity devotees, including Jayne Mansfield. Greaves acknowledges the Church of Satan as an influence, but rejects LaVey’s beliefs in social Darwinism and police-state authoritarianism as “Ayn Rand with ceremonial trappings”.

The heavy metal acts of the 1970s and 80s caused more alarm in some quarters, from Black Sabbath and Coven onwards through the likes of Slayer, AC/DC, Iron Maiden and onwards to thrash, death and ultimately black metal. Again, the satanic messaging was largely theatrical: occult symbolism, demonic lyrics and horror-movie guitar riffs. The exception was the infamous Norwegian black metal scene, which devolved into genuine horror with the bands Burzum and Mayhem, whose horrific saga involved church-burnings, suicide and murder. “A lot of these movements have always had an inordinate amount of attention for how small they really are,” says Greaves. “Sometimes, they embraced the worst elements of what they were accused of. They become this creation of the hysteria against satanism.”

That hysteria rose to witch-hunt levels in the 1980s and 90s, in what became known as the “satanic panic”. Doubtless inflamed by the imagery of horror movies, such as The Exorcist and Rosemary’s Baby, Christian groups began finding “evidence” of satanism everywhere. They heard subliminal satanic messages in rock records, the most famous being Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven (which supposedly contains the phrase, “Here’s to my sweet Satan,” when played backwards). Then came lurid allegations of satanic ritual abuse around the world – child sexual abuse, murder, torture, cannibalism and gory rituals, ostensibly at the behest of a secret sect intent on undermining the foundations of civilisation.

This is the environment in which Greaves grew up. “I saw peoples’ lives destroyed by the mere attribution of satanism,” he says. “I began to realise that the real evil was in the witch-hunt itself, and not in any of these alleged cults that were supposed to be initiating these activities.” While satanist conspiracy theories filled the airwaves, it bears remembering that there really was an organised sect sexually abusing children on a global scale with impunity: the Catholic church.

What Happens At Disney.... Part 1/3

(Natasha Romanoff x femme reader, Avengers x reader)

So I got requested to do a fic where the team and reader go to Disney and I was all over it and had so many ideas that I had to split it up into three parts oops. This is how the reader convinces everybody else to take them to Disney and the next to parts will be fluffy fun stuff at the park. I had an idea for them to meet Gaston??

Also the third part of Bring Her Home is on the way.

Part 2, Part 3

Dragging the team to Disneyworld was hard enough. For your last three birthdays you had begged them to take you to Orlando; it wasn’t even like you were asking to go to the one in Tokyo or anything so it was sad how close it was to New York yet you had never gone before. You were finally able to convince them to go to Disney during one mission in the desert when you had resorted to your most desperate of plans.

“(Y/N), would you stop digging there is a SANDSTORM about to hit us!” yelled Tony

You just kept on digging deeper and deeper into the endless pile of sand which was only filling itself back up every few seconds by now since the winds were so strong.

“I still don’t understand what’s going on,” Steve complained while he and Nat stood under his shield which he was holding up like an umbrella to deflect the sand.

Thor was over the next hill cursing to himself about the sand in his beard and hair, Hulk was trying to punch his way out of a dust cloud that had engulfed him to no avail, and Clint was around somewhere.

“Yup, I’m going to die,” you heard Clint crying out to the wind as none of them were going to leave without you.

“She’s trying to find the Cave of Wonders,” explained Nat with her head in her hand as she remembered that stupid movie you wouldn’t shut up about. “It’s from the Disney movie with the magic lamp and the genie, Aladdin.”

“Well when you find it can you wish me back from the dead?” asked Clint.

“No, that’s against the rules.”

“JESUS FU-“

“Okay, before we all get swept away back in time,” began Tony. “I just have one question...... WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?”

“Well, apparently, finding a magic genie to grant me three wishes is the only way I’m ever going to make it to Disneyworld since none of you will take me!”

“OH MY GOD THAT’S WHY?!? YOU KNOW WHAT? OKAY, FINE, YOU WIN. I WILL TAKE YOU TO DISNEYWORLD.”

“No, all of you have to come!” You demanded.

“I’m already headed to Disney right now,” Clint said spitting out sand from his mouth as he was now stuck in a pile of it that went up to his shoulders. “I can already see the lights, (Y/N), and they’re beautiful.”

“Whatever this place is, if it is away from all this sand then I will go,” Thor said.

“HULK GO DISNEY!”

“You have my word,” Steve shrugged before everyone turned to Natasha who was just standing there with her forehead still resting against her fisted hand as she kept looking down to avoid the sand getting in her eyes.

“Nat, promise?” you ask hopefully.

“I’M HEADED TO THE OTHER SIDE YOU GUYS!” Clint coughed.

“Fine, whatever, yes, I’ll go, just get me out of here before we’re all buried alive.”

You heard a muffled sound coming from a pile where Clint’s hair and bow were just sticking out at the top before you smiled with satisfaction and casually flicked your wrist and the winds automatically vanished revealing a clear blue, cloudless sky.

“How did I forget,” Tony groaned looking around in awe as he could see the dunes traveling in every direction for miles and miles now just seconds after he could barely see anything a foot in front of him. “She can control the weather.... she controls the goddamn weather.”

That was a week ago. And now that you had bought your tickets, finally decided which t-shirt you were going wear (you went with light blue Cinderella one that had Lucifer on it with the caption “bad kitty”), and sat through an entire plane ride of everyone else groaning and complaining, the one thing that was going to keep you from getting in was Thor’s fragile masculinity.

“No, no, let me explain again,” he did his nervous laughter thing he pulls when someone underestimates him or tells him he can’t do something. “This is no regular hammer and I am no regular person. I can see how it might be hard for you earthly humans to understand, but this hammer is an ancient magical object that helps me wield powers greater than anything else in this cosmos. You cannot possibly think that I am going to leave it.”

The poor teenager that had to run security of the entrance looked like a good guy. You were sure he started his job out as enthusiastic as an over-caffeinated forrest creature because it was Disneyworld for God’s sake! But days and days filled with angry soccer moms and now Thor trying to mjölnir through the metal detectors had just sucked all of the joy out of him. “Sir, I can’t allow you to bring weapons in the park.”

“THIS IS-” Thor almost exploded but you shot him a warning and he shook his head trying to laugh off his anger before sucking in a deep breath and forcing a smile. “This is not a weapon. Did you just not hear the description I was giving about it being an ancient magical object? Huh? Do you understand those words?”

“Well it looks a lot like a weapon.”

“It’s not a weapon.”

“What do you use it for?”

“Destroying my enemies and if this persists then you shall certainly be one of them.”

“Yeah, that sounds a lot like a weapon.”

“GOD, THOR!” you threw your hands in the air. “Just set it down here and then in the park you can... you know....”

“(Y/N), that is not the point. The point is I am being wrongly accused of-”

“PUT. IT. DOWN.” You ordered before he let go of the hammer and let it fall to the ground but not without giving you a cold look. As the rest of you were then finally allowed to pass through the gates you got all excited watching Cinderella’s castle come into view at the end of Main Street, USA. You were determined to make sure everyone had a good time today and if you had to raise your voice a few times like you had just done with Thor, then so be it.

“Sir!” you could hear in the distance back behind you. “You can’t just leave this weapon here!” the park worker’s voice was strained as he and four other security guards tried pulling on the handle with no luck. But you were too busy staring up at the giant castle you had always dreamed of seeing in person. Your adventures with the Avengers had taken you all over the world and to many castles and fortresses, but this one made the child that you had always kept inside of you jump up and down with glee.

“Sir!” Thor rolled his eyes and opened his hand to bring mjölnir flying directly to him causing all of the people that had been trying to lift it to fall on their backs.

The rest of the team just sort of awkwardly watched you beaming at all of the sights around you and they waited patiently and hopefully for fantasy moment to end. But they would be disappointed because you were only getting started.

Tony coughed. “So, now what?”

Once upon a time. Chapter 2

Once upon a time, there was a Devil. Once upon a time there was a Detective. One day the truth was revealed and she rejected it. One day he lost everything and went back to Hell.

And, one day, she forced her way to Hell to get him back, at all costs.

[Read in AO3][Read in FF.net]

Chapter 2: The Devil

***

Once upon a time there was a man, but this man wasn’t like the rest of them. Because he was the Devil himself. And he wanted to take a vacation.

***

Lucifer watches his wife from his position sitting at the piano, his mind wandering as his hands play in autopilot the song he sings for her every time she reminds him of how much he had gained, after all this time and everything that happened. It is inevitable to remember that difficult moment, a long time ago, a few lifetimes for him, but a handful of years for mortals on Earth; when she found out what he was. Well, more like accepted (finally!) all the truths he had been telling her for years.

He thought he had lost her. When she didn’t reach for him, he decided to give up his last attempt at earthly vacation. It had been nice while it lasted, he tried to convince himself; he had the chance to experiment and mingle with the humans deeper this time. Maybe next time he could try something else than a nightclub. He had an eternity to test ideas, after all.

Mazikeen chose to stay against all odds, taking over Lux until she got bored. He didn’t care what she did with his club, it wouldn’t be there when he came back in a few Earthly decades. Chloe wouldn’t be there and Dan wouldn’t be there and Linda wouldn’t be there. Maybe he could try another location? Maybe he could go back to Europe next time. Yes, that sounded just lovely.

He spent his days in Hell planning and preparing his next vacation, going back at all the things he could have done better to make mental notes to follow in the future. Retiring had been a bad idea, that’s for sure; and if he managed to avoid Amenadiel better next time he could stretch his window to a few years. It had to be enough, though. More than that and he could get too attached.

Even if he tried to focus on his punishing work, soon he found himself with too much time on his hands; once demon uprisings were controlled and his people were put at rest that their King was there, at last, and planned to stay for a while. Now his days were spent roaming his castle and sitting on his throne (the Palace one, for audiences. The sky throne was for other purposes); thinking about Chloe’s face the last time he saw her, scared and shocked, her sweet voice mustering a weak “It’s all true” . He wondered if he should have tried to say goodbye even if she didn’t want to see him. His other human friends, who still believed that the Devil didn’t exist, at least deserved the closure. What would he have said to them? That he was moving back home?

Home. He chuckled. Hell wasn’t home. It has never been home for him; not as Los Angeles had been for him. Solving murders and worrying about a lot of things that had nothing to do with his past. It had been safe and easy, playing by their rules for a while. What an adventure.

Lucifer tapped his fingers on the armrest of the Palace throne, watching the ash fall from the big windows of the Audience Hall. Even if he had clear view of the outside it felt claustrophobic being there. Too many doors to keep the heat of Hell out of his house, too dark and cloudy in a perma-storm, too little light coming from the flames burning on the torches (lit by yours truly’s magic when he was in the room). He groaned, almost wanting another fruitless riot coming to his door to entertain him. Or a wicked soul to punish.

Or news from Earth.

But of course no one would bother to call him. Not even Amenadiel, now that he had recovered his precious wings, would come to his humble abode to check on him, maybe have a little chat or, dunno, ask how was he dealing with losing everything. Again.

How long has it been since he last breathed the non-ashen air of Earth? For him it could be years - he had lost count once the eternal clouds raining ashes blended each day with the next and he had crashed in his bed for a while before meeting his Council for the incoming rebellions. For earthlings - for Chloe - it may have been a few days, a week at most. He wondered if she had thought of him at all, even if it was to regret every conversation with him.

Not that it mattered anymore, though. What happened was just in the past and he had to move on; he had to rule Hell and keep doing what he did best after eons perfecting the art of being an immortal punisher. Every now and then he stopped to think about her, about the beautiful color of her eyes and the way she seemed to have a smart reply for every one of his comments, about the warmth she provoked in his chest that had nothing to do with the hellfire inside of him. He had realized that he loved her a bit too late; but the reality was that he did, as he had never loved anyone before, and had an eternity to dwell on what could have been.

Lucifer sighed as he came back to reality. A boring one.

He tapped his fingers again and stretched his long legs, feeling like he hadn’t moved them for hours. He probably hadn’t, but there were no clocks in Hell, so he couldn’t be sure. The only way to measure time was how often a group of demons tried to overthrow him and take the throne. Not that any of them could reach the real one, up in the grey sky over Hell. It was a known secret that those who sat there could tap into Hell’s power source. Only an angel could fly there.

“Bloody hell,” he murmured, standing up and wiping any dust o filth on his clothes. Sadly he had to forgo the Armani suit when an undesirable demon decided to stab him in the back, quite literally. A shame.

His hellish clothes were a mere copy that he had managed to make with a bunch of forgotten earthly garments from previous trips upside. The quality was outrageous, but he had to make do somehow.

He scoffed and walked out of that empty place, his cursed wings trailing behind him. There was no reason to hide them here, and the show of power usually helped maintain order among his subjects. So, what was the harm? Sometimes he liked to imagine what Chloe would say if she saw them. She didn't get the chance that cursed day his world ended, not that he wanted her to see them in the wretched state they were after shielding them from Cain's follower's bullet rain. Maybe she would like them? She was too smart to let divinity consume her, so he was confident that her brain wouldn't melt like those lowly mortals back when his previous set was stolen. Another cherished adventure with her.

Sometimes he wondered if things would have been different if he had showed her his wings instead of the Devil face. As he walked upstairs towards his private chambers, he imagined a different scenario where he showed her his wings and walked her through his identity slowly, instead of dumping his awful face after murdering her ex-fiancé. What an awful timing indeed!

Lucifer entered his rooms and bypassed the abandoned bed to reach the next room, where his treasures from Earth trips were stored. Books, trinkets, gifts, paintings, clothes… he had quite the collection, and sometimes he liked to admire the lives he influenced over the millenia; but then his target was the beautiful grand piano where he perfected his technique while no one tried to kill him in Hell.

He sat down and opened the lid, his mind envisioning Chloe's face the first time they met. He had been playing the piano, and his hands immediately started the quiet melody he had played when he fumed with Delilah's murder.

Their first case. It felt so long ago. It wasn't, really, at least not compared to eternity. The years by her side were a mere blink of the eye, a brief dream to wake up from.

His right hand left the keys and he pressed it against his chest, where a burning pain ached. He knew it had nothing to do with the stabbing of the punches he sustained since coming back "home". Who knew that heartbreak hurt so much? Human feelings, it seems, reached further than mere thoughts and troubled dreams. They could even affect the body! He wished he could ask Linda about that. She always seemed to have an answer for these issues. He hoped that the effects of this "heartbreak" passed soon.

With a sigh, the Devil poured himself into the songs and melodies he played on the piano, not caring how long he sat there or if he never stopped between songs. He didn't need to rest, not like humans did, and the courtesy of behaving human lost its meaning once he trespassed Hell's gates.

He was on his rendition of Moonlight sonata, third movement, when he was interrupted.

"My King," a quiet voice called from outside of his rooms. Entrance was forbidden there. "Your brother has been sighted entering the Gates."

Lucifer scoffed without abandoning the work his hands were doing. His family knew where to find them. Not that any bothered to before.

"Sir?"

"Go away," he growled over the music. He closed his eyes without listening to the retreating sounds of his servant. They had explicit orders to leave him alone.

The Devil frowned when he finished his song, wishing he had a bottle of Scotch at hand. Damn his lack of foresight for not bringing any this time. He would need the alcohol to deal with his brother. He stood nonetheless and walked towards the enormous balcony attached to his treasure room, waiting for the dark grey wings of God's favourite son to appear on the sky.

He sighed, hoping it was just a social visit. Amenadiel didn't have any "duty" with him anymore. He was back at Hell and left their Father's stupid Creation alone. What more could they ask of him?

To his surprise, the wings approaching his palace weren't grey, but white like his. He blinked in disbelief. He hadn't seen those wings since the owner pierced his chest with his sword before breaking his wings and pushing him out of Heaven.

Lucifer growled. Michael . What was he doing here? What the hell did he want? He squared his shoulders and flexed his fists, getting ready for his quiet downtime to end. It was payback time. He smiled at the thought of kicking his brother's angelic ass once and for all.

But the angel wasn't alone. Surprises didn't seem to end today, it seemed, as cocooned in the other's arms was -

Chloe?

His heart skipped a beat, fear disarming him and freezing him under Hell's unbearable heat. Chloe couldn't be dead. His brother couldn't be bringing her soul down here for… What for? She should be enjoying paradise up in Heaven! She should be-

She can't be dead.

Not here. Not now.

Lucifer rubbed his eyes before tears made their presence known. He looked up finding more details, like how Chloe looked pale beyond what could be healthy, and the dark circles beneath her eyes. Her eyes were closed, but she had that wrinkle between them like all those times she was perturbed with a crime scene. She was sad. In pain.

He swore there and then that he would find whoever killed her and punish them.

"Brother," Michael said as a greeting as he landed on his balcony. Lucifer just nodded without looking up from her pale face.

"What is she doing here?" He demanded, his eyes igniting with hellfire. "Why is she not in Heaven?" The Devil looked up at his brother with a half- formed scowl in place, but the angel didn't even flinch.

"She wouldn't shut up," he shrugged. Somehow, that enraged him more.

"And you kicked her out from Heaven for that?" He clenched his fists. Unbelievable! They couldn't do that!

"Don't be absurd," the blond version of himself looked at him like he was mentally impaired. "Is it not her time yet."

"What."

"She is not dead, brother," he said slowly, carefully. Lucifer's eyebrows went up to his hairline. "Father sent me to bring her to you. I'm not a mere delivery boy," he scoffed and frowned down at the woman, "but if it made her stop screaming in our ears, fine by me."

"What are you talking about?” Lucifer looked down at the woman. She looked far from the fiery human he fell in love with.

Michael sighed dramatically. “You tell me. She wouldn’t stop demanding to see you. And Father. And said stuff about ‘Trixie being more mature than a bunch of overgrown chickens’?” he rolled his eyes when Lucifer smirked at that. “Anyways. Here she is. Goodbye.”

Without preambule he tossed her body towards him and stretched his wings, kicking the floor to take off towards the sky, not looking back to see if the other archangel caught her or not.

SPN Season13 in the Galaxy not so Far Away, aka Supernatural vs Star Wars

We all know how important “Star Wars” are in the SPN universe, but I just had a revelation yesterday: we are now in the point of the story that literally just arrived at the doorstep of “a new hope”, and everything just fell into place.

(To the fellow SW fans: I am drawing parallels here only to the first six movies, excluding everything else, because I realised this is a topic that you can write about for hours and hours - with this thought in mind, I have limited myself to the very basic character overview. If anyone wants to add plot analysis, philosophy, more future speculation or whatever else, please feel encouraged to do so!)

The classic “Star Wars” is a franchise that is an archetypical, medieval adventure/fairy tale/coming-of-age story set in space, with magic, romance, religion, philosophy, knights, dark lords, orphaned heroes, a princess, wizards and scoundrels, a quest, epic battles, a war between good and evil, love, choices and redemption. It also talks a lot about free will, nature vs nurture, found family vs blood family, the power of love, faith, hope, self-understanding, and self-acceptance.

It’s a perfect parallel to Supernatural. So, let’s have a look:

1) Lucifer is Anakin/Darth Vader. The one with amazing powers, the one who stood out among the Jedi/angels, who was supposed to be “the bringer of light”, but who was brought to the Dark Side due to hubris and hate, and to rules he didn’t agree with, the rules given from above. The moment love was gone from his life, Anakin/Lucifer went bye-bye, gave in to the power of evil, and became the Dark Lord.

Once Luke/Jack came into the picture, Anakin/Lucifer started looking for him to lure him to the Dark Side, because Vader, just like Lucifer, doesn’t understand the concept of love above blood, and of free will that can steer our innate nature. Luke does not give in to the dark side, and in the end he manages to draw his father back to the side of light because of love and light he chose for himself - and Anakin dies redeemed. I’m not sure if this is Lucifer’s path, but since he “was not a villain” in his story either, we’ll see.

Anakin/Lucifer used to be the Chosen One, the one destined to change Jedis/angels, but he went astray. Luke/Jack is now the one set to repair the damage he has done.

2) So, Jack is our Luke Skywalker now. At the beginning of our story it was Sam who was Luke’s parallel, but Sam has grown and can now be the older, smarter “Jedi” who has seen it all before, and can use it to educate his young padawan. That just underlines the similarities between Jack and Sam that will play a big part in the future.

Jack/Luke. A young kid, who has humongous amounts of power/magic/Force inside of him, who is “a new hope” for the universe, but who needs outside influences that would keep him away from the Dark Side. He will need his teachers and friends to stay on the path of light, to fight for the right cause, and to help restore the Republic (balance). They will also help him understand the new world he was thrown into with all the politics and family drama behind it - his dad is the Prince of Darkness after all (Lucifer/Darth Vader), his mom was a sweet, innocent soul who loved purely, but is now dead (Kelly/Padme Amidala), he himself posseses the potential to build or destroy, and now the question is how he will choose to use his abilities.

(Ok, since we don’t yet have gifs of Jack, here you have a preview from another show:)

He will figure out where he will put his power, faith and heart, with a little help of his friends:

3) Dean/Han Solo - an actual human, with no superpowers of his own, but by no means unimportant or without special traits. Just as Han, Dean is the epitome of charm, courage, skill, quick wit, friendship, love and humanity. He doesn’t need the Force/magic/angelic powers to be one of the most important people in the Galaxy. He would happily die for his friends/family, and he is also the lover in the story, a BAMF fighter and a great pilot/driver with a cool vehicle.

4) Cas is part Yoda, part Leia. Yoda is Cas’ supernatural - “angelic/alien” - side. Leia is Cas’ human side.

He is paralleled to Leia in the fact that he is the newly found family to Luke (Sam/Jack), and a lover to Han (Dean). He also resembles Leia in the way that, even though she has a very strong Force heritage (that would be angel powers in this analogy), she is not really interested in her skills, and prefers more down-to-earth activities, like fighting for the cause, and enjoying love/family life.

Oh, and the sass.

As for Yoda - he just now is becoming a Yoda parallel. He is being separated from Sam and Dean, going through his spiritual awakening into self-awareness, and gaining knowledge (his own Buddha-like path), so that he can emerge again, more prepared to take a role of a teacher. I almost can see some kind of Dagobah-like scenario where Jack and Cas go away for some time, so that Cas can show Jack something connected to his angelic side - the light side of the angelic “Force”.

Life lesson to be taken from this: never take the dorky little guy at face value.

5) Sam, who used to be Luke, swinging between the light and dark inside of him, can now become Obi-Wan, being half a teacher-philosopher, half a warrior - not unlike Cas, but I think Cas is definitely more Yoda. Castiel is”alien”. Sam is fully human, only with special powers, so he’s Obi-Wan. Additionally, in another parallel, Sam has a past with Lucifer, something that can be used now when he will try helping Jack.

Sam, as a mirror to Jack, has always been the HOPE in the show.

(Just a side comment: the sass is strong with this one.)

Angel!Cas/Yoda and Sam/Obi-Wan are very similar to each other in a way that they are both a bit hermit, they have no problems being alone, studying new things, or just spending hours doing things that people like Dean/Han Solo or Jack/Luke would find deadly boring. They have few earthly possesions. They don’t nest. They prefer knowledge/faith/spiritual growth to material things and strong emotions (of course Cas is slowly breaking out of this, becoming Leia). It’s a very Buddhist approach to life that Jedis preached as well.

(I guess Sam is a bit of Chewie, too.)

Human!Cas will be different. He will be earth bound, love bound, and mission bound - and once the mission is done, and balance is restored, he will find his place, his home with his lover, and he will be very happy with it. Love will be a huge part of his character story, but not the defining part - just like Leia, he will be a fighter, a strategist, a soldier, and in the end, a lover.

Sam and Cas, paralleling Yoda/Obi-Wan, once they teach Luke/Jack about everything he needs to know, will die (figuratively) which means that they will finally be able to ”rest in peace” - settle down in their final endgames - Sam a scholar and a hunter, and Cas a lover, a hunter and a human. Jack will be settling down, too, after his job is done and Lucifer is dead - like Luke.

It’s going to be a good ending. There will be music, dancing, kissing and ILYs.

And, hopefully, some Ewoks.

interacting?what’s a weird headcanon you have for each of your muses?which muse has the most aus or verses?can you sort your muses from youngest to oldest?which muse is most willing to fight another muse?do your muses get along with each other?would you ship any of your muses together? who?for each muse, is there a character you wish had a blog so you could interact with them?

@leejieun-ia

I’m not sure which question is the ‘interacting’ one OTL I will respond to the others!

what’s a weird headcanon you have for each of your muses?

Li Hua: She thinks it is rude to not dance when there is any kind of music on.

Changseon: He collects all receipts he gets at stores and restaurants.

Minjoon: Of all the Earthly critters, he is oddly afraid of (or feels apprehensive about) moths and frogs. He can’t stand them, though he doesn’t have any special reason why he dislikes these animals.

Soohyun: He snacks on Honey’s snacks when there’s absolutely nothing to eat. Yep. If anyone found out, I swear he’d be embarrassed forever. He cannot feel the taste, after all, so he isn’t disgusted by it.

Hoxmarch: He only thinks of sexual relations as a procreating thing so he is utterly confused when his master, aka Minjoon, goes to ‘mate’ with the other dog, aka Taemin. Hox is a disaster.

which muse has the most aus or verses?

Li Hua officially has two verses, while others are all packed in a single verse. But, as I added Soohyun that kinda messes up the verses (as he is the same FC as Changseon) so uh...yeah, Li Hua and Changseon/Soohyun.

can you sort your muses from youngest to oldest?

yes, ma’am. Soohyun, Li Hua, Hoxmarch, Minjoon, Changseon.

which muse is most willing to fight another muse?

Changseon will fight you, your dog, your mother, father and your goat, so he would definitely fight any of my muses and he has fought Minjoon upon several occasions.

do your muses get along with each other?

Changseon and Minjoon get along like a cat and a dog. Minjoon is fond of all his siblings but Changseon refuses their affections at all times. Minjoon and Li Hua get along very well. Hox is respectful towards the muses he knows (Chan and Min) while Soohyun doesn’t know any of them.

would you ship any of your muses together? who?

Not really. A fun fact for my muses is that Minjoon and Li Hua used to be lovers several decades ago but that is pretty much it.

for each muse, is there a character you wish had a blog so you could interact with them?

Li Hua: her twin brother.

Changseon and Minjoon: Lucifer, Lilith (I mean, I know there are these characters somewhere out there but right now, I don’t interact with any).

Hoxmarch: none. his sister is taken by a friend so uwU we’ll get to that at some point *blows a kiss at @taexmin-ia *

Soohyun: Ayre, his elf friend. I mean, yeah, Ayre used to be my side muse but it’d be lovely if someone else wrote Ayre. Adventures!

thank you *hugs your head*

Hello my dear friend/author. My question is about your sequel Golden Seal. I remember there were 7(?) religious symbols they encounter to, ehem do something. (Lets not give spoilers :D) What are they exactly and what are their connections with the Golden Seal on Kurtis' ring? Thank you so much for taking your time :D

Oh, wow, I love this ask! What an insightful question! :D I’m a bit sorry the answer might not be as detailed as you might expect, because The Golden Seal was my first fanfic, my first time trying to write a TR fan story, and as you know, back in those days I didn’t have Murti’s notes, and being my English language skills very limited, I wasn’t even awate of most of the information concerning the cancelled sequels.

So I had to create a complete background storyline almost from zero, being totally blind to information that was already accessible for the international fandom, and also, tothe most recent uncovered information, of course. So if you excuse me… concerning this, the storyline is pretty limited. But I’ll try to answer my best :)

So, you’re asking me about the Periapt. Or at least, my version of this artefact, which I developed just taking into reference the Periapt Shards (Fragmentos del Orbe, in Spanish) as crystal daggers carved from an original source. Looks like, according Murti’s notes, the Periapt(s) was not exactly an orb (Orbe, in Spanish) as I understood from the Spanish translation, but some kind of disc. Anyway, just a proof of how lost I was when writing this fanfic 10 years ago and how much I had to rely on just my own imagination.

The Periapt in my universe is, then, a crystal orb, big size, carved entirely in religious symbols - yeah I know the photo doesn’t fit, I’ve never drawn it because I suck at drawing. But the size fits, anyway. - You have to imagine it completely covered by those symbols, and they are little carvings as it have to fit all the cults a religions in the world - really, so big deal.

Some of the symbols are mentioned during the fanfic, but, of course… I don’t mention it all. I’d have been impossible, being preferable to leave it at the reader’s imagination :D But let’s stick to what I mention:

Lara caressed the Periapt while copying itssymbols on a piece of paper. They were neither letters nor hieroglyphics, justa messy map of signs with no relation between them: mystical, religious,natural… An Egyptian Ankh. An Isis’ Knot. Horus’ Eye. The Christian cross. The Muslim crescent. TheChinese Ying and Yang. The Lux Veritatis’ anchor. The symbols of the pagangods: Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury…the Jewish star. The Hindi Eye. TheIlluminati’s triangle. The swastika of the Celts. Lucifer’s pentacle.

The symbols were endless and different, such afascinating mixture that Lara felt puzzled. For the first time in her life shehad in her hands an artefact depicting the symbols of all religions, cults, andmyths ever existed on Earth.

THE GOLDEN SEAL, chapter 15, Putai

What Lara does basically during all the adventure, while fighting and travelling and running and exploring, is to copy all the symbols in papers and discard them one by one, as she finds out that the True Option consists in choosing the oldest symbol, the one which depicts the oldest cult/religion on Earth (yeah, I know, it lacks depth. But at that moment it’s all that came to my newbie’s mind.)

“The True Option,” muttered Lara. “The motherof all religions.”

Sitting on the windowsill of her cell, not caring the least about thehuge abyss that was right next to her, the explorer crossed out symbols and letthe papers fall at her feet, forming a scattered pile of sheets.

Focused on the task, she barely heard Kurtis arriving and leaningagainst the door frame, watching her in silence. She was now used to hisdiscreet and reserved manners.

“Look at this,” she said, pointing to the sheetin which she was working. The last symbol left was the Cross. Lara crossed itout with a jerk of her pencil. “Bang. Goodbye Christianity. Centuries ofspirituality and faith destroyed in a second.”

“Don’t let the monks see you,” he said, lookingover his shoulder.

ُTHE GOLDEN SEAL, chapter 24, The Angel’s Oracle

In the end, she remains only with the Olympic gods and, after them, the Titans or which is the same, the basic elements/forces of nature.

Lara walked towards the altar and placed the Periapt in the hole. Aftera couple of steps back, she began to write the remaining symbols in the dustysteps, while she quoted one by one. “Aphrodite…Uranos…Poseidon…Gea…Helios…”

THE GOLDEN SEAL, chapter 27, The True Option

In the end, the True Option consists in the oldest of all them, the basic, primigenic force of nature, of creation itself, worshipped by mankind (let’s not gonna spoil this here, okay? ;)

Why I choose those symbols? I’ve been fascinated by cults and religions since I was a child, being myself raised as a Catholic Christian. In a religion there are a lot of symbols who speak to you in so many ways, and when you move to other religions/cults to wide your horizons, the thing becames even more fascinating. I wanted to know them all to understand what I was seeing. And I guess from this enthusiasm come this little, clumsy tribute I made to them in The Golden Seal.

There are universal symbols, generally acknowledged as them. They can be called with several names, tracked down until several sources and origins, and collect several meanings or even taking variations depending on the culture/civilization or the historic period, but in the end, the symbol is what remains. So I limited myself to them, in a very basic level, and avoided to go further.

What’s fascinating about it? The Periapt is an artefact, in my universe, who belonged to the Lux Veritatis since the beginnings of the order - XII century - but it’s older, in fact. And despite being older, it has carved some symbols of cults/religions that DIDN’T exist in the moment the orb was supposedly carved - which is what amazes Lara so much. Together with its ability of not remaining shattered when destroyed ;)

“The Seal is not an artefact of your Order, noris the Periapt. It had been here since ancient times. Traditions state that itwas given by one of the four archangels to the first hegumenos of thecommunity, with the following words: Ifever the Light of Truth and the Fallen Angel clash and balance their forces sothat only one of them will prevail, this ring will lead the way. Today,nobody believes this. But indeed, the Seal has led you here, back to its home,after you knew Lady Loanna’s tragic story and she put the Periapt in yourhands.”

THE GOLDEN SEAL, chapter 23, The Seal’s Story

There seems to be a connection between the Golden Seal (Kurtis’ ring) and the Periapt, but this connection was ignored by Kurtis while being only known by his father, Konstantin Heissturm, and the community of Orthodox monks in Ayios Stefanos’ in Meteora. Apparently, the Periapt is not an earthly artefact. Of course, looks like it being delivered by one of the four Archangels (namely Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel) is just a legend… or maybe not? But in any case, the origins of the Periapt can’t be tracked.

Nor are the Seal’s ones.

“And how did the Seal come to my father’s hands?”

“I gave it to him. As I said, Eckhardt attackedour monastery and set it on fire. Then he began to kill our brothers, one byone, waiting for me to reveal where I was hiding the Seal. We would’ve alldied, and me the last of them, if your father hadn’t arrived then, confrontedthe Black Alchemist and defeated him, saving our lives. That’s why I gave himthe Seal. That’s why we saved your life. I thought he was the chosen one, thatthe Archangel was referring to him as the Light, and the Alchemist as theDarkness.” He looked down and caressed his long beard. “I was wrong. Evil wasn’t Eckhardt, but Karel.The last of the Lux Veritatis wasn’t Konstantin Heissturm…it was you. His onlyson.”

THE GOLDEN SEAL, chapter 23, The Seal’s Story

At the end of the day, both the Periapt and the Golden Seal were associated. Both were in Ayios’ Stefanos since the beginning, despite their real origins can’t be tracked. Both played a relevant role in defeating Karel, though Konstantin didn’t understand it totally when taking the Seal and then, giving it to Kurtis together with the Shards carved from the Periapt’s unbroken crystal.

I think you can see the relation. The symbols? Sadly, I can’t tell there’s a direct link to the symbols with the ring itself. The symbols are a riddle, an enigma, a puzzle, which I designed for Lara, basically, to prove again she’s not just a shooter, nor just a killer or a tomb raider, but also a brain, a puzzle-solving mind adorned with a deep cultural and educated background.

As for the rest, there are just a pile of coincidences which lead to the desired ending, apparently planned for higher forces, despite it could have been perfectly Karel the one to win, defeat Kurtis and then take Lara for his breeding project, as once Drakul tried to do with Loanna. Fortunately things went in the opposite direction ;)

And this is all I can say! Of course, reading the fanfic is something I always recommend if someone finds all this gibberish quite weird. I excuse myself again for the lack of depth of this storyline, but as I said previously, I had to write without any kind of reference and support, and I was totally a newbie in the fanfic world. Today I’d have done things differently, but quod scripsi scripsi… I won’t change a single word. This is what I wrote, this is what remains.

I hope I kinda solved your question and you find my answer satisfying. :)

Mephistopheles

Who is Mephistopheles?

One starry night, a German scholar named Faust decided that he would give anything to be able to fully understand and enjoy the world. Turning his back on his Christian upbringing, he called upon the devil to enlighten him, in exchange for which he would give his soul. Instead of Satan, an elegant demon named Mephistopheles appeared—and he was surprisingly reluctant to accept the deal.

Characteristics

Physical Description

Like Faust, Mephistopheles craved importance and elegance before he turned into a demon. These yearnings are reflected in his demonic shape, which is much more human and attractive than the shape of other demons.

Mephisto is usually described as a pale man with dark hair and very sharp features. From his pointed beard to his tapering fingernails and slanted eyebrows, the demon’s features are at once delicate and menacing. His costume enhances his natural appearance. He dresses in fine Renaissance clothing—puffed sleeves and pants, a short cape, a feathered cap, and tights that disappear into pointed shoes—all made of red and black silk. Naturally, his look is completed by a gleaming sword tucked into his belt.

Occassionally, Mephisto appears with some of telltale demonic traits, like curled horns, wings, or a barbed tail.

Personality

In a word, Mephistopheles is—complicated. At the same time that he serves Lucifer and delivers souls to hell, he doesn’t seem to relish his work.

When Mephisto first appears to Faust, he makes his position clear. First, he informs Faust that he does not wander the earth seeking out souls to corrupt. Instead, he claims that he was “just passing by” and sensed that Faust, who had been attempting to magically summon demons, was already on the brink of corruption. Next, Mephisto warns Faust to change his ways, describing the horrors of his own “private hell” to try to convince Faust bargaining with the devil is a bad decision. Unfortunately, Mephisto’s warnings fail. Faust insists that Mephisto should be his slave for twenty-four years, after which he will give his soul to the devil. Eventually, Mephisto accepts.

As Faust’s slave, Mephisto goes above and beyond to make Faust’s sacrifice worthwhile. He brings him wealth, beautiful women, and all sorts of “earthly pleasures.” Most importantly, he takes Faust on grand adventures, even time-travelling and flying to the stars with him, so that he can understand all of creation. Eventually, Faust proclaims, “Had I as many souls as there are stars, I’d give them all for Mephistopheles,” proving that the demon is a pure, never-ending delight.

Of course, Mephisto can’t share Faust’s delight. Even during their most dazzling journeys, he continues to remind Faust that he will regret their twenty-four-years of pleasure when he has to spend an eternity in hell. Mephisto also makes countless cynical observations about humanity and civilization, like “all that comes to be deserves to perish wretchedly; ‘twere better nothing would begin.”

By all appearances, Mephisto is a bitter soul who resents both the devil’s power and humanity’s weakness. After all, if the devil was weaker or people were less strong, Mephisto might not be trapped in a job he hates, a job that dooms other souls to eternal torment.

Still, Mephistopheles is a demon, and you could question his sincerity. Is he really so eager to stop Faust from making a pact with the devil, or are his “warnings” a clever act of reverse psychology. Is he really so disgusted by his work, or is he merely trying to gain Faust’s trust by showing some human compassion?

Cultural Representation

Origin

Mephistopheles and Faust are not just inseparable in legend, they are inseparable in history as well. Mephisto first appears in “Historia von D. Johann Fausten,” a pamphlet published in Germany around 1587 that contains the first known version of the Faust legend. Since history has no other traces of a demon named Mephisto, it appears that he was created as a villain specifically for this tale.

The legend of Faust caught on, and over the next 140 years, eight more pamphlets were published, each of them offering their own take on the deal that went down between Faust and Mephisto. Pamhplets were also translated into several languages and distributed across Europe.

In 1808, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe published Faust, a play that would become the most famous version of the legend. Goethe’s Mephistopheles was significantly different from the Mephistopheles that came before him. He was more bitter against humanity and more eager to claim Faust’s soul. Meanwhile, Faust is more reluctant to accept Mephistopheles—and at the end of the play, Faust is forgiven by the grace of god and carried away to heaven, rather than being consigned to the devil, as he had been in previous versions.

Explanation

Today, Faust’s fame overshadows Mephistopheles. Although many people use the word “faustian” to describe a sacrifice of virtue to gain knowledge, power, or wealth, few people remember the dazzling demon who made that sacrifice so tempting.

The Secrets of Emerald

Above all, the glitter of gems has enchanted us and held us hostage. Despite their secret birth underground, they live a rather public life among us, admired, bought, sold, and hoarded. They have become ours in a way a hunk of raw granite never can. Gems have studded ears, adorned ﬁngers, encircled arms, and emblazoned belly buttons. Bits of compressed carbon no larger than a match head have transmogriﬁed themselves into emblems of undying love. Nothing could be more civilized. Or more brutal. Men have bled for rubies and drowned for emeralds. They have killed for beauty as they have killed for love. And this has been the case forever. Popes and kings, emperors and magicians, commoners and criminals, all have looked to these glowing fruits of the earth as a means to wealth, status, power, or spiritual achievement. Countless legends tell how gems have cursed, blessed, persecuted, or utterly changed their wearers. According to ancient lore, gems can confer chastity, enhance virility, calm storms, and provide insight into the future. Hidden just beneath their shining depths are a thousand strange tales and curious adventures.

[vc_row][vc_column width=’3/4′]

The very ﬁrst emerald in the universe belonged to Lucifer. According to legend, it was the chief jewel of his heavenly crown, glowing brilliantly in the light of the Lord. But then the Troubles came, and Lucifer the Shining became Satan the Adversary, the prideful Fallen Angel, disgraced in the eyes of God, and cast into Hell. But the emerald did not follow its ﬁrst master. As Satan was hurled into the burning pit, the stone slipped out of his now-tattered crown, and tumbled to Earth—from which it was born anew. Wise emerald. For this great stone knows it belongs neither to Heaven nor to Hell. It is an earthly creation, sister to the verdant land and green-shining sea. It’s here on Earth that it began its history, a history of grails, goddesses, and conquistadors, a history that is both true and mythical, sometimes both at once. It has the longest history of any major gemstone. From the very beginning it was clear that the emerald, above allother gems, had a signiﬁcance that surpassed even its surpassing loveliness. It is of course the symbol of spring, love, youth, and rebirth. But it is so much more …

Let’s go back several million years to witness the miracle of emerald birth. Since emeralds are neither vegetable nor animal, it follows that they must be mineral. (A rock is technically a substance made up of two or more minerals.) Minerals are deﬁned as inorganic, homogenous, solid substances with a chemical composition that is variable within quite narrow limits. Among the vast and extended clan of minerals, the emerald belongs to the charming and attractive beryl family. The word “beryl” comes from the Greek berullos, meaning “crystal.” Beryl in turn is a member of the large group of minerals called “silicates,” as reﬂected in its formal name: beryllium aluminum silicate. This simply means that it’s made up of aluminum, beryllium, and silicon together with some oxygen. It’s been said that what carbon is to living creatures, silicon is to the earth.

Beryls cannot exist without their signature element, beryllium. Most people aren’t very familiar with this metal, so here’s a brief introduction.With an atomic number of only 4, it is light, hard, brittle, and silvery white. It is relatively rare. Only 1.5 parts per million of the earth’s upper crust is beryllium. There’s more beryllium in the earth than there is silver, but it’s more expensive and difﬁcult to extract from its ore. Its melting point is 1285◦C and boiling point is 2780◦C. One weird thing about this element is that the speed of sound (about 12,500 meters per second) is greater in beryllium than in any other element. But the most wonderful thing about beryllium is that it makes emeralds.

Beryllium remained a sort of laboratory curiosity until 1932, when James Chadwick (1891–1974) used it to prove the existence of the neutron. Chadwick won the Nobel Prize for this achievement, although later he found out that a German, Hans Falkenhagen (1895–1971) had discovered neutrons at about the same time, but was too afraid to publish his results. (It takes courage to be a physicist.) Chadwick offered to share the Nobel Prize with him, but Falkenhagen refused, whether from modesty or from another reason is not really certain.

In Sanskrit, the emerald was sometimes called acmagarbhaja, which means “sprung from the rock,” which says it all, if you can say it at all. One of the reasons for the high price of emeralds is the difﬁculty of extracting them from this host rock. This makes emeralds different from most other gems. Emeralds had more than a metaphorical use, however. The Egyptians also used to give their royal mummies a “papyrus scepter” or wand adorned with emeralds. The Goddess Isis herself is often depicted holding the papyrus scepter. Because emeralds (and similar green stones) signiﬁed eternal youth, the Egyptian Book of the Dead instructed embalmers to place a green stone at the throat of every mummy to ensure that the “limbs of the soul” (which apparently occupy a different anatomical position than regular limbs) maintained a youthful strength during the mummy’s long journey through the underworld, and to protect it from harm. The great god Thoth, who was depicted as a man with the head of a wading bird, was reputed to be in charge of emeralds. In fact, the Egyptian Book of the Dead claims that the ancient Egyptians received the gift of emerald from him. The Book of Revelation devotes some time to discussing a visionary, heavenly Jerusalem. In 21:19, the fourth wall of the city of heaven is described as being made of emerald.

The Emerald Tablets

The secrets of the Emerald Tablet were reportedly handed down to Hermes Trismegistus. Others claim the said Hermes to be the author of the Tablet, not merely its receptor. For lovers of the mystical arts, what is so important about the Emerald Tablet is not that it’s this really enormous piece of emerald, but that it contains the secret formula for alchemy—the transformation of spirit and matter. There are plenty of translations and copies of the Tablet, which most medieval alchemists kept hanging on the wall, but apparently some special element is missing from the translation, since the medieval alchemists just didn’t have any luck making lead into gold. Or perhaps they misunderstood what the text is really about. Or both.

For others, the Emerald Tablet’s true origins go back 10,000 years, although it was “put on display” in Heliopolis, Egypt, in 330 bce by Alexander the Great, who found it in the Libyan Desert. When Alexander departed from Egypt, he took the Tablet with him, and, before going on to conquer the rest of the world, hid it for safe keeping. Some say it was buried somewhere around or in the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid to protect it from the enemies of occult knowledge.

One of the most famous versions of the Emerald Tablet has also survived in Latin (Tabula Smaragdina).

Verum, sine Mendacio, certum et verissimum: It is true without falsehood, certain and absolutely true.

Quod est Inferius est sicut quod est Superius, et quod est Superius est sicut quod est Inferius, ad perpetranda Miracula Rei Unius. Et sicut res omnes fuerunt ab Uno, meditatione unius, sic Omnes Res natae ab hac una Re, adaptatione.

What is below is like what is above, and that which is above is like that which is below, for the performance of the miracles of the One Thing. And just as all things come from that One, through that One’s meditation, so all things in nature are adapted from It.

And there’s so much more …
