"Faith and hope are provisional; they exist only for this earth and will pass away. In heaven, faith will be replaced by sight, and hope by possession; only love will never pass away. It will never be replaced by anything else, because it is the goal of all. On this earth, love is the fullest participation in the life of heaven, and faith and hope exist for its sake."
- Father Jacques Philippe, Interior Freedom (Section III, Part 7)
"Yagami Light as a youtuber would probably plagiarise" WRONG Yagami Light is insanely intelligent and looks down on literally every single other human person, he would rather stab himself in the eye than using the works of someone else - someone who can't be anything but beneath him. Pre-Death Note youtuber!Light would make long-ass videos about Everything Wrong With Society with completely unhinged takes about how xyz small innocuous thing is responsible for gang violence with numbers* to back it up.
"Light would plagiarise" get the fuck out of here.
*numbers which he completely twists to his own bias - without even knowing it because he thinks way too highly of himself
Me: *tossing prompt idea up and down in the air before chucking it into the Void we call the internet*
Jason is dating Ghost Prince (not yet King) Danny and goes on a really awesome and romantic date on his day off. He forgot to tell the fam though. So when Red Robin comes to give Jason an update on some entil, he watches in muted horror as Jason is 'kidnapped' by a glowing entity in black armor and a nightmare looking horse (Danny is a bit busy doing paperwork, so he had his Fright Knight pick Jason up) off of a Gotham rooftop and into a green portal, while the knight had proclaimed Jason as their future Kings 'intended'..
No one on coms is ready for Tim to yell out
"I THINK JASON JUST GOT KIDNAPPED PERSEPHONE STYLE!!"
after reading the description of the rooms ianthe is staying in on the mithraem and then that harrow’s were empty i was like- wait did they put her in the ninth house rooms? cause i remembered that anastasia never became a lyctor
then i went to the dramatis personae and proceeded to figure out which house each necro/cav pair founded. some were pretty simple
quinque- five
oct- eight
dve- that one gave me pause. until my friend looked it up and was like. it’s slavic. and i facepalmed. dva is two in russian but dve is a conjugated form used to refer to things, so i didn’t even recognize it
shodash- from sanskrit for sixteen. also we already knew from nona that cassiopeia was sixth
trinit- three (like yeah what i remember about the vibes of cyrus and valancy, they would have painted nudes of themselves. very third)
tetra- this one stumped me for a bit. cause that’s also a root for three. until my friend pointed out that it’s in three dimensions. a pyramid. which has four sides. i stand corrected it does mean four. no idea why i associated it with three so definitively
also this seems to be the only name that’s rooted more in math/geometry instead of language/culture, fitting since ulysses and titania were created by john even more so than the others (something something they didn’t have as much dimension as the others cause at least the others were based on real people john knew before he fucked everything up)
heptane- i could remember from somewhere that hept meant seven
novenary- we’ve heard so many ninth names at this point that even without the root we’d be able to recognize that as ninth
and since we know that god renamed them all after resurrecting them and wiping their memories, i assume he did this all on purpose. did they guess? what did they think about being named arbitrary numbers that didn’t even have to do with their order of ascension? or were they even able to think about it? did they just think it was normal? or some big coincidence?
“i understand the houses have crystallized into… types” do you think that happened as a result of what john remade the lyctors into? did their personalities automatically carry over when he resurrected them or did when he reworked their memories he had to remember enough about them and just didn’t, thus starting the archetypes?
