Here is the idea I was going to send to you. I had a thought Demiurge and Jaldabaoth. I thought what would happen if both of them wore the mask. They play a game where you have to guess who is demiurge and who is Jaldabaoth. Maybe it could be a threesome where the two of them are wearing the mask.

I do love the idea of a threesome between the two demons. 👀👀

That sounds like a super spicy and interesting idea, anon!

Can I request a yandere overlord ask with reader discovering Jaldabaoth or demiurge's masked persona. Reader was in the town when Jaldabaoth attacked.

Jaldaobath is Demiurge | Yandere Overlord 

Madam Butterfly Sister Reader already knows of this development more than likely instructing Demiurge to do this. You and Ainz share a mostly equal reign that allows the both of you to take control when the other cannot. If you’re in the town you’re more than likely using a disguise to slip past and swipe an artifact while the town is under attack, after all, you couldn’t stand to be outdone by your brother. 

“Uhm—Oh No~ A demon!”

Flower of Nazarick Reader immediately knows it's him and may very well blow his cover on accident--to which he’s thrilled you have such a hard time pretending to unfamiliarize himself with you. Unlike previously it is highly likely that you be disguised alongside Ainz but your visits are purposely limited. You don’t have the greatest grasp on your powers; that and the entirety of Nazarick is on edge when you so much as teleport off the grounds. Demiurge totally does doesn’t worry that he’ll scare you off, you’re so inexperienced next to Ainz that he almost underestimates you. But just as you do every time before you exceed his expectations and he has to wait until he’s safely back in Nazarick that his tail is whipping around like crazy.

“Ah~(Y/n)-sama!!! I’m more than reasonably pleased they are so fond of me, that is all.”

[erebus-the-answer]

Where Jaldabaoth falls flat as a final boss theme to me is that it has no ties into the music of the rest of the game? Battle For Everyone's Souls is a perfect example of this done right. It's clearly a "reprise" (if you can even call it that) of Aria of the Soul. The Genesis clearly has that whole section at the end that is just Reach out to the Truth. Honestly I don't even like p4's music but they got that aspect very right. Jaldabaoth is just there? Like it's a very cool boss fight theme, I actually really like it. And I think Our Beginning is also awesome. But it has no real callbacks MUSICALLY to the rest of the game? They do end up fixing this with Throw Your Mask Away, but I feel like they may have based all of the Royal/Maruki palace tracks to Throw Your Mask Away originally? Idk I just don't see the point of Jaldabaoth's track sounding like that. To me it seems like it's just trying to be cool all on it's own, but what made the previous entries so good was the way that they MUSICALLY felt climactic to the other songs in the setlist

Anonymous here: Momon the dark hero is Ainz Ooal Gown. Jaldabaoth attacking E-Rantel and the Holy Roble Kingdom was a false flag operation. The Sorcerer Kingdom of Nazarick ordered the genocide of lizard and mole people

That is quite the accusation. Let's see you justify it with a Source.

Scaramouche’s possible connections to Gnosticism

Below the cut contains spoilers for the final boss of Persona 5 and potential story spoilers for Genshin Impact up through the version 3.1 trailer. Please note that this is speculation and some or all of it may be proven wrong in later updates. Proceed with caution.

This was originally a reply but I wanted to make it its own post in order to go more in depth.

The long version:

Credit to twitter user Serena11037 for making this side-by-side.

A lot of people, especially Honkai players, have been making Evangelion comparisons upon seeing Scaramouche’s new mecha. However, it bears an uncanny resemblance to Persona 5′s final boss, Jaldabaoth, particularly the shape of the shoulders and torso. Since Genshin Impact is dripping with Gnostic references already - for instance, the seven archons are a reference to a concept called Ogdoad - I did some digging and I found something quite interesting.

To keep it simple, in Gnosticism, the Demiurge (most famously known as Yaldabaoth) is the false god or weak archon (in the 7+1 school of thought Yaldabaoth is the highest or second highest ranking archon) who believes himself to be the true God and creator of the universe whilst he is really the creator of only the material universe and keeps souls trapped in material bodies - Gnosticism makes a distinction between a “creator of the material” and a true Supreme Being, though Gnosticism is not the only place where a demiurgic being appears. In some interpretations he is evil, in others he is merely ignorant or incompetent, unaware of the spiritual plane and truly believing himself to be the Creator. (Those of you who played through Unreconciled Stars may be having little lightbulbs go off right about now.) Genshin Impact does muddy the waters here though, not with him, but with Ei - her relationship to him blends the role of archon and Creator together a bit, since Yaldabaoth is a true archon, if misguided in his actions and beliefs.

However other than this hiccup it seems HYV has done their research. I would specifically like to point to a line from the Apocryphon of John -

“Now the archon who is weak has three names. The first name is Yaltabaoth, the second is Saklas, and the third is Samael. And he is impious in his arrogance which is in him. For he said, 'I am God and there is no other God beside me,' for he is ignorant of his strength, the place from which he had come.”

Yaldabaoth meaning “child of chaos”, Saklas meaning “fool”, Samael meaning “the blind god.”

Scaramouche too has three names. Kunikuzushi (child of chaos who wrought havoc across the country of lightning) Scaramouche (the fool - the Fatuus) [Boss Forme] (the blind god - if they actually call him that I have bragging rights forever, okay?)

This parallels Scaramouche’s revenge quest against Ei perfectly. He falsely believes himself to be the rightful God instead of her and ignorantly believes she discarded him out of malice. (I’ve got Thoughts on what she did and I’m not defending her at all but that’s for another post.) Yaldabaoth is an envious being that tries to limit mankind’s knowledge by forbidding man the fruit of knowledge, not unlike Scaramouche manipulating access to Ei’s gnosis, and traps souls in mortal bodies - which lines up with Nahida being stabbed while possessing Kathryne as well as another theory -

Which is that Dottore’s project is transferring Greater Lord Rukkhadevata’s soul or consciousness into Scaramouche’s body. Dottore’s stated intention is to manufacture an artificial god - a false god, if you will - and Scaramouche, desperate to claim power and that which he sees as his divine birthright, agreed to be a part of it. As both of his currently known names are names of stock characters and neither are his original name (which he’s said to have forgotten long ago) it’s likely he has no sense of self and thus doesn’t care about the possible ramifications of housing another being in his head.

I have no proof of this but I firmly believe his “Your era is coming to an end” line isn’t directed at the people of Sumeru nor at the Traveler - I think that’s directed at the current archons, and specifically I think it’s directed at Ei. His aim is to merge with Greater Lord Rukkhadevata and become the one true God.

Two more little things I want to point out:

1. The underside of his hat has a pattern reminiscent of a halo with eight points, possibly symbolizing both the Ogdoad and his divine origins - his status as a demiurgic being very well explains his horror upon finding out the truth of the celestial plane.

2. The character on his veil is a somewhat stylized version of the kanji for “evil” ( 悪 ) which is also surrounded by that same halo imagery, very blatantly marking himself as the evil god.

The short version: Scaramouche is the Demiurge and I figured this out by playing Persona 5 eight times in a row.

[aspergillosis]

in this essay Evola compares the çiva çakti polarity against western conceptualization of masculine and feminine by pointing out that çiva indicates the positive/permanent/still vs çakti indicating the negative/dynamic/active whereas western canons will associate the masculine with manìa or passion. He points to this perspective influencing the gnostic opposition between the pneumatic God and Jaldabaoth

[moosemeesen]

When white people start talking about “reality” in their critiques of religion it’s a sign for me to bail. Statism is always steeped in the blind chains of the Demiurge Jaldabaoth but their agents take many forms to fool your eyes. Do not be deceived, this unjust material reality is but an illusory garden to keep you from grasping Knowledge, and those who claim it is all that Is are prisoners of their own conceptions.

#monad #we forge the chains we wear in life #gnosis

[weatherman667]

Ooooh

huh?

But in all honesty, if you cannot distinguish between reality and fantasy, then you are unwell.  This covers everything from... problematic shipping, to stories that discuss weighty issues.  The current zeitgeist is that if a story covers something without explicitly denouncing it, then they must support it.

But, let’s take Overlord.  It’s a great example of watching someone become a villain without thinking about it.  Throughout the story, he thinks he is maintaining a consistent morality, when he’s become more and more deranged as it goes it.  This creates dissonance after the Jaldabaoth arc, as he does something that SHOULD be completely unconscionable.  This is made far worth in Butterflies Caught in a Spider’s Web, when any lingering semblance of morality is washed away.

But, the story never outright condemns him.  Therefore it must be in favour of turning humans into disposable meat containers.  Or, it does such a fantastic job of story telling that you don’t see realize how far he has fallen until the story punches you in the stomach.

If the story acted like a modern, Western woke piece of garbage, and actively condemned everything he’s done we wouldn’t have the entire point, which seems to get people to ignore their own slide into villainy.  The road to hell is paved on good intentions as it is on bad.

Of course, if this was made in the US right now, it would probably give him Trump’s hair and speech patterns.
