It's funny how Disney loves to milk the hell out of their franchises and have been adding a lot of lore and expanding the "universes" of their franchises...

And yet when it comes to Mickey Mouse, the company mascot with probably the most amount of merchandise and reach, his lore is probably the most obscure where even many Disney fans don't really know many of the canon characters outside of the Sensational Six, the Ducktales characters, and a couple others like Clarabelle, Horace, and Chip and Dale.

#mickey mouse and friends #mickey and friends #disney thoughts #plus a lot of the lore was before the hyoe to expand universes #tbh i don't know if this is a good or bad thing #though I wish more characters got attention

Koschei's (youngest) child (from political marriage): uh, so, if- you could let me and my fellow companions pass, please?

Guard: *doesn't even acknowledges them*

Theta & Koschei (eldest) child (from a disastrous divorce): *holds up an Oakdown emblem* We are going in and you shall not let anyone else enter.

Guard: *trembling and nodding*

Theta & Koschei child: next time you decide not to let my half-sibling pass I will be sure Lord Oakdown hear about it. And believe me when I say he is not kind with people who mess with his youngest child.

Guard: *nods frantically*

A Refuge in the Afterlife?

DPxDC Crossover prompt

One day a message from space is sent to Earth, a call for assistance for the last survivors of a destroyed planet. The Justice League, of course, receive this message and a Team sets out to make contact with the group, ready to offer them whatever supplies they need and perhaps a location to rehome themselves.

Among this team would be one of the Green Lanterns, Guy or Hal, who are of course curious about why this group sought out Earth specifically instead of reaching out to the Corps? The answer to that question being quite simple:

To save the souls of their dead.

As it turns out, with the destruction of their Home World the survivors believe that not only are they at risk of becoming lost souls upon their own deaths, but the very Afterlife dimension that was attached to their world is at risk of ceasing to exist unless they find another world whose Afterlife can take theirs in as well, combing the two as one.

And wouldn't you know it, the surviving priests and/or mystics have received word from their endangered Ancestors that the Earth has a King of the Infinite Realms who may be willing to do just that. Once they reach the planet, they would be so grateful if the Justice League would be willing to help them petition this King for asylum for their people, both dead and alive.

The only problem?

This is the first time anybody from the League has even heard of this so-called King, and now everybody's scrambling to find out whatever they can about this being. And what little they are finding is nothing short of alarming. A mad tyrant who tried to invade the living world?! Yeah, they need to get on top of this fast, before the Refugees arrive!

Meanwhile, Danny just felt a shiver run up his spine and wonders if it's because his dad's latest batch of fudge came out a little too ecto-contaminated.

(Spoilers: it wasn't the fudge).

My personal Head-canon when it comes to the infinite Realms: the reason why we don't see any other religious figures or alien beings, is because Pariah Dark screwed up relations so bad with the other afterlife realms that the infinite realms has become largely cut off from everything else but Earth. Too much greed and trying to conquer shit to be considered a good neighbor, even by demon standards. Doesn't even matter that Pariah's been sealed away, it's still his dimension as long as he exists, and the absolutely hostile environment and denizens there prove it.

The word of today that inspired this post is Syncretism: (via wikipedia) the practice of combining different beliefs and various schools of thought. Syncretism involves the merging or assimilation of several originally discrete traditions, especially in the theology and mythology of religion, thus asserting an underlying unity and allowing for an inclusive approach to other faiths.

#Danny Phantom #Detective Comics #DC #DPXDC #Syncretism #Crossover #Alien Refugees #Afterlife #mine #Not Phantom Planet compliant #Danny doesn't even know that he's now considered the Ghost King #Now take a second and remember that the DC universe has had numerous planets get destroyed for one reason or another #Quite a few of the heroes and villains have origin stories of being among the last of their kind depending on which DC universe your in #like Superman or Starfire or Martian Manhunter #Now imagine them finding out this particular aspect of Afterlife lore is actually a thing #and promptly having a major freakout wondering if the souls of their dead are in danger as well #And may possibly be saved as well if they are #Anti-Ecto Acts? #Oop better get rid of that shit right away. #Pariah would be so pissed to find out that his unwanted successor was expanding the realms and wasn't getting any flak for it #“I was trying to do the same thing and I got put in time out!” #No honey. You were trying to conquer the Living world to expand your power. #Risking the destruction of both dimensions #You are not the same

[ryuuka-balaen]

I'd dug it up earlier to send to someone as it had been relevant in conversation recently, so may as well post it here too; a lil bit of CatLore(tm) for my main Warhammer Army; the Knights of Noble House Valere.

When I decided that it would be healthy for me to try to partake in physical hobbies more often rather than spending all my free time online and having almost exclusively online friendships, the first thing I went to try was Warhammer. I'd been trying to get into it for nearly a decade and I've always loved my funny little minis and models so it was the most obvious choice to me, especially being that I'd just been given a new 3d printer I could make terrain and models with. However, this came with a small issue; I didn't like the style of the models I already had as much as I used to. Which meant I needed to browse through which factions 40k had to choose from, and find something with an aesthetic I did enjoy.

What I found that i liked was the Imperial Knights and Grey Knights.

First, some official lore as Context;

Imperial Knights are huge mechs owned by influential families called Noble Houses. Before the founding of The Imperium of Man wherein the God-Emperor took the Golden Throne, the Noble Houses were some of the first humans to leave Terra and colonize the galaxy in an event referred to as The Long March. For the purpose of this colonization, they built huge agricultural mechs with chainsaws that could reave forests for lumber, explosives that could level mountains for construction, etc. Of course, these tools were repurposed into weapons of war. The mechs were equipped with armour that can withstand a nuke and autocannons that shoot shells wider than a man is tall. The planets colonized by these Noble Houses are referred to as Feudal Worlds. When the Age of Strife began and humanity lost a significant portion of the knowledge required to create and upkeep their most advanced technologies, contact between distant worlds was also lost. Many Feudal Worlds that were isolated from this regression have yet to be rediscovered by The Imperium.

Grey Knights are the God-Emperor's Special Boys who live on Saturn's moon Titan in a Grand Fortress-Monestary. unlike other chapters of space marines, there are only every 800 Grey Knights at any one time, and every single one of them is a psyker and has mad wizard powers. They also all wear ~Special Boy~ armour that's been sanctified and blessed with Mystical Rituals that makes them harder to kill than your average Space Marine. They exist only to fight invasions of the Daemon forces of Chaos, and will take any measure to do so. The whole thing is very edgy and they try very hard to be cool.

Unfortunately, the rules of warhammer40k don't normally allow one person to use models from two different factions in their army at the same time, and doing so is referred to as a "Soup Army" which is generally very frowned upon by the gaming community. Regardless, I happen to be and continue to be a fool of a kitty that likes my funny little Knights, and what I wanted to do was run an army that's made half and half of the two factions I like.

That begs the question though; Why would these two factions be fighting together? the Grey Knights are Daemon Hunters, and as such only fight against those corrupted by Chaos, and while the Noble Houses of the Feudal Worlds which have been rediscovered by The Imperium do fight alongside The Imperium, they don't do so Often or Consistently. (And, by game rules, while any imperium army is permitted to field either one large or up to three small Imperial Knights models, that isnt enough for me)

While I do like the Imperial Knights official lore, I'm pretty neutral on that of the Grey Knights (as much as I do like to make fun of them, the idea of an order of paladins that'll show up anywhere, anytime to lay the smackdown on some demons is pretty cool). So, my solution to that question was; What if they aren't Grey Knights? Any military that's fielding gigantic irreplaceable Death Mechs is also going to employ footsoldiers, aren't they?

The Knights I paint and play are of the Noble House Valere, one of the many to take part in The Long March and the many to still be isolated following the Age of Strife. The House, however, has not been idle in it's isolation. From the time contact was lost in the 25th millennium House Valere has continued to make technological progress, re-engineering the systems utilized in their great Knights to smaller and more compact forms, to create Exosuits in which even an untrained wearer could rival a Space Marine in combat. While this is surely impressive, the real feat of innovation achieved by Valere's researchers is undoubtedly their progress in harnessing The Warp. Normally only Psykers would be able to utilize the reality-bending power of The Warp, however the continued study and research between the 25th to the 41st millennium has seen these researchers engineer methods for machines to make use of The Warp, and integrating this into the Exosuits of House Valere's Knights allows every one of their footsoldiers to wield the power of a Psyker.

The current Standing Army of House Valere, which is to say the models I currently have (though many are currently unpainted), numbers at six Knight Mechs, one Armoured Troop Transport, and seventeen Exosuit Soldiers.

In Game Terms that's;

one Knight Preceptor, two Armiger Helverins, and two Armiger Warglaives for 1,000points of Imperial Knights,

one Nemesis DreadKnight, one Brother-Captain, one Brotherhood Champion, one Razorback, five Terminators, five Grey Knights, and five Purifiers for 1,000points of Grey Knights,

which all together makes a happy Tournament-Standard sized army roster of 2,000points.

House Valere's age of peace is not to last much longer, as the universe permits none to escape it's wrath and there are a great many who, whether for Tech-Heresy, claims of territory, or simply Hunger, would see The House's citizens dead.

As a footnote; I do want to clarify that when i wrote this i felt like an absolute madwoman and it seemed very Chuuni / "9th-grader's Overpowered Self-Insert OC" but fuck it cringe is dead, I'm having fun, and others have said its neat so im keeping it.

#/⁠ᐠ⁠｡⁠ꞈ⁠｡⁠ᐟ⁠\ #warhammer40k #warhammer OCs? i guess. #or like. non-canon lore? #except the core books explicitly state “the universe is huge anything is possible” #so like.

Me when I see a post about how First is useless to the lore: I. respect. your opinion. (internally raging) (fists shaking) (teeth gritted) (body trembling) (breathing ragged) (mind shook) (eyes wild) (mentally holding myself back from replying with the force of a blue whale being dropped to the ground at terminal velocity)

#first link #first linked universe #Hyrule Historia manga #linkeduniverse #I saw the post this is about like four days ago and I am trying SO HARD #not to reblog it with a rant about how the manga is great actually #and how the reason there are inconsistencies with the game lore is because the writers weren't allowed to know much about the game #so they had to work with vague ideas like 'the earliest in the series' #'Link forges the Master Sword' #and 'Loftwings' #and how embracing the flaws and coming up with fanon explanations for it is fun #and how the story is great but limited by its short format #and would have benefited from being expanded into a full-length manga #and how it adds complexity to Hylia that we only get second hand through Zelda in the game #or don't get at all #and it opens up speculation about the pre-skyloft civilization #and! and! and! #but I'm just gonna try to accept one man's trash is another man's blorbo #and move on by instead ranting in the tags of my own post #I actually agree with the poster on a lot of their other LU takes so this especially hurts

Hc that there's a place in the universe that is a bar/pub and that is "only the Master" allowed.

Like, a place they go everytime they get defeat (mostly defeated by the Doctor) or get into a fight with their partner (Koschei in this case) and it's the biggest paradox ever but funnily enough will never hurt anyone because they only go there before regeneration/defeat.

I feel like most people know "Here Comes the Sun", but slightly fewer people know "Sun King", from the same album, which seems to be some kind of sequel or alternate take on the same theme. And then even fewer people know that a decade later, George Harrison wrote another sequel on one of his solo albums, "Here Comes the Moon"

#i like story #considering creating an alt account to go through the main story and certain quests again...... #i didn't get too invested immediately so i didn't retain much of the beginning #and also a lot of greater lore things went over my head because i went in knowing nothing about the honkai universe #haven't played hi3 yet (i'll get around to it) but i've spent some time reading about it and the concepts it introduced #that hsr is now expanding upon #i think it'd just be a good experience.....
