Revelation 15: Holy Smoke

As John watched, smoke filled the heavenly Holy of Holies, preventing anyone from entering in. For John, this would have brought to mind God’s instruction to Moses that God later portrayed in all reality. #Revelation15 #HolySmoke #Shekinah

Then after these things I saw, and the sanctuary of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened, and the seven angels emerged, the ones holding the seven calamities, out of the sanctuary, having been arrayed in radiant, pure linen and having had golden belts girded all around upon the chests. Then one out of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden broad shallow…

Trust in the Lord with All Your Heart

1 My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my commands; 2 For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you. 3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, 4 And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man. 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. 8 It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones. 9 Honor the Lord with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; 10 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine. 11 My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, Nor detest His correction; 12 For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights.

Blessed Is the One Who Finds Wisdom

13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding; 14 For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, And her gain than fine gold. 15 She is more precious than rubies, And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her. 16 Length of days is in her right hand, In her left hand riches and honor. 17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace. 18 She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are all who retain her. 19 The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding He established the heavens; 20 By His knowledge the depths were broken up, And clouds drop down the dew. 21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes-- Keep sound wisdom and discretion; 22 So they will be life to your soul And grace to your neck. 23 Then you will walk safely in your way, And your foot will not stumble. 24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid; Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet. 25 Do not be afraid of sudden terror, Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes; 26 For the Lord will be your confidence, And will keep your foot from being caught. 27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in the power of your hand to do so. 28 Do not say to your neighbor, "Go, and come back, And tomorrow I will give it," When you have it with you. 29 Do not devise evil against your neighbor, For he dwells by you for safety's sake. 30 Do not strive with a man without cause, If he has done you no harm. 31 Do not envy the oppressor, And choose none of his ways; 32 For the perverse person is an abomination to the Lord, But His secret counsel is with the upright. 33 The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked, But He blesses the home of the just. 34 Surely He scorns the scornful, But gives grace to the humble. 35 The wise shall inherit glory, But shame shall be the legacy of fools. — Proverbs 3 | New King James Version (NKJV) The Holy Bible; New King James Version®.

Arya Lady of Harrenhal during the Long Night

At the bottom of my inbox there's an anonymous message from months ago that says “could you do Arya with Nymeria during the long night? Fighting together?”. I haven't replied yet and the reason is that when I think about this scene, the image of GOT 8x03 pops up in my mind. Will Arya fight through the Long Night, sword in hand? I'm not that sure.

Then the other day I came up with this idea that I proposed to you in a survey: “Winterfell falls, the northeners have to escape South, Harrenhal is the main citadel, Arya as lady of Harrenhal during the Long Night”. And I must say I'm surprised with the result. It won "I see where you are coming from, and I like it" with 33% of the votes.

But many, rightly so, have chosen "I'll wait for you to elaborate", so here we are.

A role

So Jon and Dany are the ones with the army and the dragons, Tyrion is the smart one with the experience and Bran is the one with the magical powers (sorry I'm simplifying, just to summarize). It's not hard to imagine that they'll find their place in the White Walkers storyline.

And Arya? Use the valyrian steel sword she doesn't have to slay the undead? Will Jon allow her to be on the front lines? Is Arya really stupid enough to think she can do it?

She will be at most 12/13 years old and the only sword lessons she has received are those of Syrio, she is not a great swordswoman, especially if she has to face adults on a battlefield. The things that the FMs are teaching her don't seem suitable for this kind of situations. I guess she could contribute by warging Nymeria and leading her pack, but if that is the case it wouldn't be necessary for her to be physically there.

Whatever this role is it must be relevant 'cause Martin counted her among the five key characters, one of the first to be created and then decided to waste a lot of ink by telling us about her.

Harrenhal

I start with the assumtion that the Battle for the Dawn will take place in the Riverlands, that it will not be possible to stop the White Walkers at Winterfell and consequently there will be an exodus of people from the North to the South. If you don't agree or you want an explanation about it, you can read my last post: Harrenhal during the Long Night.

And which of the main characters has a strong relationship with Harrenhal?

Thematic connections

The girl has a long and complex relationship with her mother's native land and a strong thematic connection with water that you surely have read about in other metas. Most of the major events in Arya's life take place here.

Not only the Red wedding, meeting Jaqen, the Weasel soup, the separation from Nymeria, but also Mycah's death in which she realizes for the first time that her father is not as powerful as she thinks, that the injustice of the world is deeper than she thought and that especially for the nobles the suffering of the smallfolk is totally irrelevant.

Harrenhal is the castle of which she becomes the ghost. And she really is the ghost of Harrenhal, standing in front of that Heart tree, probably like her late aunt years before, as she hears a voice from the trees reminding her of her real name.

Useful knowledge

Arya knows these lands directly, crosses them, lives them, knows their inhabitants, their opinions and sides in the war. It isn't a theoretical knowledge but a practical one. As Jon Snow recalls "The map is not the land, my father often said".

But it's even more intimate than that because Arya dreams of those lands every night, she sees them through Nymeria's eyes. The wolf is currently the only undisputed ruler in that lawless place. Do you remember the image of Harrenhal tormented by the tremendous howl of the wind and wolves outside the walls?

Arya also knows Harrenhal on all its levels. She physically scrubbed the floors of every floor of every tower and she scoured all the walls in search of an unguarded gate.

She has experienced the classes and roles that exist within the castle and its management. She had to deal with armigers, cooks and blacksmiths. She has worked her way up the chain of command from the humblest of servants to cupbearer and lord's messenger.

Skills and leadership

In the books we see her many times in positions where she is the person who has to make decisions, lead a group, organize little plans.

One of the main themes of her journey is justice, mercy, power and its abuse.

Then there are more or less direct parallels such as the one between Arya and Aegon the unlikely or the list of things that would make Aegon/young Griff a good ruler according to Varys.

Let's see some quotes in the books that tell us about these aspects of the character:

The one thing Arya could do better than her sister was ride a horse. Well, that and manage a household.

His father used to say that a lord needed to eat with his men, if he hoped to keep them. “Know t

he men who follow you,” she heard him tell Robb once, “and let them know you. Don't ask your men to die for a stranger."

Arya had loved nothing better than to sit at her father's table and listen to them talk. She had loved listening to the men on the benches too; to freeriders tough as leather, courtly knights and bold young squires, grizzled old men-at-arms.

Whenever her father had condemned a man to death, he did the deed himself with Ice, his great sword. “If you would take a man 's life, you owe it to him go look him in the face and hear his last words di lui,” she 'd heard him tell Robb and Jon once.

Can I be lord of a holdfast?

And here I stop because there are many others. If you are interested in this, there are meta only on this topic around tumblr.

An interesting that that connects Ned's teachings and those of the FMs is the concept that power and service are closely related.

Now let's see what FM training consists of: the ability to blend in with people, listen, gather information, learn many languages. We can add her natural ability to make friends and allies of all kinds.

This seems like the perfect package to manage a castle full of frightened people from all over the world (there will be people arriving with Dany as well), from every social class, every side of the war, who have nothing in common but the hope to survive.

Disconnected thoughts and possible parallels

This would be a very poetic situation that completes the parallel with historical Nymeria by placing Arya at the head of a group of refugees fleeing their destroyed home. In addition to giving her the possibility and the power to carry out the reflection on justice in a place that has seen so much injustice.

It's also funny how Lady Whent is introduced with great expectation right into Arya's chapters, where she thinks she can ask for her help. Yet she will never meet the Lady of Harrenhal.

And isn't it funny how she decided to name her direwolf after "some old witch queen in the songs"?

From the Alys Rivers wiki page: In 132 AC during the regency of Aegon III, a number of broken men and predatory outlaws began to gather at Harrenhal under the rule of a sorcerous witch queen. Mmmh interesting… this sound familiar, the Brotherhood without banners?

There is also Sharra, another witch queen of the Riverlands from the Age of Heroes.

Conclusions

In this place where Shagwell the Fool sang about Weasel soup maybe in the future there will be songs about Arya and the ten thousand wolves.

Thanks for reading. Mine doesn't want to be a theory that speaks of the character's endgame, but of its role during the Long Night. Let me know if I've given you something to think about, if I've convinced you, if you have other ideas on what this role might be. Or if you want to write a fanfiction with this plot.

Edit: I just discovered an old thread with a similar topic. I haven't read it yet, but I'll leave it here for the record.

Flavor Text Highlights

So, one thing that I did two years ago (and have kept updated since) on twitter was my flavor text thread, where I went through each set in Magic history and picked the top 4 (or, for some exceptional cases, 8) best pieces of flavor text in my opinion.

Since then, I have regreted some choices and very much dislike the fact I can't edit the original tweets to reflect changes on the rules I followed for card selection... So I might as well use Tumblr as the place to correct all that.

Every day from now on, I will re-post a set from the list until I catch up to it, then eventually update it as new magic sets come out. The rules for selection can be seen after the linebreak below (as well as a full list of sets I've already gone through, with links). The first one can be found here.

1- Categorization

I will always try to select a diverse list of cards so as to fill the following 4 categories of flavor text types:

Cool - Boasts and descriptions that serve to make the subject matter of the card seem powerful and/or interesting.

Funny - Dialogue, descriptions or epigrams meant to get a laugh out of you

Worldbuilding - Flavor text whose biggest strength comes not from what it says on its own, but how it helps build upon either the world the set takes place in or the story of the set in question

Emotional - This one could conceivably be separated in two whole categories, but it encompasses cards that would fill the same niche as the "Cool" category but with a specific focus on either sadness or horror.

However, there will be situations where there might be a number of good flavor texts within a certain category while another is found lacking of any truly great options. In such scenarios, I will simply remove one (and in rare cases more) of the categories and repeat one of the remaining options. For an extreme example, the first Un-sets barely had any non-Funny options, so when picking cards from those sets most/all of the picks will be from the Funny category.

2- Card Selection

Cards will be reviewed only if they have new flavor text (using scryfall's "new:flavor" filter) and only if it's original flavor text (aka no real world references or quotes from literature) while sets will either be reviewed alone or grouped up depending on the amount of eligible cards in the set. Although I don't have a hard cut-off point for how many new flavor texts a set needs to be reviewed alone, the general range is around 150.

For sets that don't reach that number, they will either be bundled with an associated set (i.e. reviewing Commander precons with their associated Standard set) or bundled with a lot of other smaller products until a suitable number is reached (i.e. bundling all early Masters sets and Duel Decks together, since the amount of new flavor texts in those products is very low).

2.1 - Cycles

For some sets, a collection of cards (usually a cycle) will have flavor texts that work together, expand on each other or combine into a single theme. If said interaction is particularly good or if there isn't already a good flavor text that can stand up on its own, a cycle might be picked for a specific entry. Below, I will try to set up a list of every post for this, in order:

1. Alpha/Beta/Unlimited

2. Antiquities

3. Legends

4. The Dark

5. Fallen Empires

6. Ice Age

FAQ:

"But how can you be a Christian and leftist?" Because Jesus is!

"The Bible isn't about politics. Why are you bringing your own personal agenda to the text?" We all always bring our own biases to the text. The question is simply whether we acknowledge them or not. Most interpretations of the Bible you'll hear twist the Bible to support the status quo. We read the Bible, usually pretty straightforwardly, and realize that that interpretation isn't congruent with the book written by an oppressed people about their liberatory God.

"I don't really know the Bible all that well. What can I contribute?" Your perspective! We read the Bible from a leftist and liberationist perspective, and a big part of the liberationist perspective is that everyone has something to add to our understanding of the Bible. We offer many, often contradictory, readings of a story in each episode. Your job as a co-host isn't to know the Bible in and out, but to do as much reading and/or research as you need to feel comfortable sharing your thoughts with a broader audience.

If you're interested, it doesn't hurt to just post a take! Worst case scenario, you can tell me you're not interested later on. More likely, you'll have a great time recording with us and I'll be DMing you again to get you into new episodes!

Previously, on Apocrypals part 5: The Fifth One

As we begin our sixth (!) calendar year of Apocrypals, here is a list of the texts we have covered so far on the show in case you want to read along or catch up. They’re arranged in a way that appeases my systematic nature.

Tanakh/Old Testament:

Genesis (episodes 16-20)

Oh Your love bled for me Oh Your blood in crimson streams Oh Your death is hell's defeat A cross meant to kill is my victory.

Is this how it is? Is this how it's always been? To exist in the face of suffering and death And somehow still keep singing Oh like Christ up on a cross Who died for us? Who died for what? Oh, don't you wanna call it off? But there's nothing else that I know how to do But to open up my arms and give it all to you

How could anything bad ever happen to you? You make a fool of death with your beauty---

and for a moment I forget to worry

Title: The Significance of Each Book of the Bible

Introduction:

The Bible is a collection of 66 books that together form the inspired Word of God. Each book has its own unique message, themes, and significance that contribute to the overall story of God's redemption and love for humanity. Let's explore the importance of each book of the Bible.

Lesson Points:

- Proverbs: Wisdom literature that offers practical advice for living a righteous and wise life.

- Isaiah: Prophecies about the coming Messiah and God's plan of salvation.

2. The New Testament:

- Matthew: Emphasizes Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the establishment of the kingdom of God.

- Acts: Chronicles the early spread of the Gospel and the growth of the early church.

- Romans: Explains the doctrine of justification by faith and the implications of salvation through Christ.

- Corinthians: Addresses issues within the church and provides practical guidance for Christian living.

- Revelation: Offers apocalyptic visions of the end times, the victory of Christ, and the establishment of the new heaven and earth.

3. Themes and Messages:

- Each book of the Bible contributes to the overarching themes of God's love, redemption, forgiveness, and salvation for all humanity.

- Together, these books provide a complete narrative of God's work in the world and His plan for His people.

Application:

- Take time to explore and study each book of the Bible, seeking to understand its unique message and significance.

- Reflect on how the themes and stories in the Bible can impact your own life and faith journey.

- Consider how the teachings and examples in the Bible can shape your beliefs and actions as a follower of Christ.

Conclusion:

The books of the Bible are not just separate entities but are interconnected parts of the larger story of God's redemption and love for humanity. Each book has its own importance and contributes to the overall message of God's plan for salvation. May we approach the study of the Bible with reverence and openness to the wisdom and guidance it offers for our lives.

Plagues in the Bible Lesson 05: The Seven Last Plagues

The book of Revelation is an intimidating book for many Christians. It tells of fantastic creatures, the mark of the beast, and seven fearsome plagues. However, what if these plagues were not something to be feared? What if they actually revealed God’s love and concern for us? Let’s find out more in today’s final lesson on plagues.

Let’s read together Revelation chapters 13-16.

There is a lot to take in these four chapters. Let’s start with a brief overview. God sends a final warning to the world to worship Him only. There will only be two choices during the end times. You will either choose to follow Jesus or to follow Satan. Those who do not choose Jesus will receive the mark of the beast. The seven last plagues will then be poured out upon the world.

Let’s read together Exodus 8:22; Matthew 24:22; and 1 Corinthians 10:11.

Note Revelation 15:2-3 declares God’s people have victory over the beast and sing the song of Moses. What is the song of Moses? It was the song of victory the people of Israel sang after going through the seven last plagues and obtaining victory over Egypt through the power of God(Exodus 15:1-21).

Also note Revelation 15:8 plainly states no one was able to enter the temple of God until after the seven last plagues were poured out. There will be no secret rapture before the great tribulation. God’s people will go through the seven last plagues just as the people of Israel experienced the ten plagues of Egypt. Just as the seven last plagues of Egypt did not fall on the people of Israel, the seven last plagues of Revelation will not fall on God’s people.

Let’s read together Revelation 16:1-2; Psalm 46:1-2; and Romans 12:1.

In Revelation 13:7, people who refuse to receive the mark of the beast will face persecution, torture, and even death. Many people will accept the mark of the beast to escape such a fate. They will choose physical safety over loyalty to God.

During the first plague, people who have the mark of the beast will be afflicted with loathsome sores on their bodies. They will find out the hard way that accepting the mark of the beast did not give them the physical safety that was promised to them.

What is the message of the first plague? All physical security is in Jesus Christ. He can deliver what the beast power cannot.

Let’s read together Revelation 16:3; Isaiah 33:16.

People who refuse to accept the mark of the beast will be threatened with economic sanctions. They will not be able to buy or sell. They will face the distinct possibility of not being able to buy food, clothing, and other necessities of life for their families. Many people will choose to receive the mark of the beast in order to have economic security.

In the second plague, the oceans will turn to blood. What will be the most immediate impact? Commerce across the world will stop as ships will be unable to transport their goods.

What is the message of the second plague? All economic security is in Jesus Christ. Just as God sent ravens to care for Elijah during the famine in Israel, God will take care of His people and provide for them in the last days.

Let’s read together Revelation 16:4-7 and Psalm 41:1-2.

People who refuse to receive the mark of the beast will ultimately receive a death decree. Many people will choose to receive the mark of the beast in order to preserve their lives.

The third plague includes the rivers and springs of water turning to blood. This plague is a reminder of the blood shed by the beast power.

What is the message of the third plague? Our very lives are in Jesus Christ. God will not let His people be killed during this time because it would serve no purpose. Everyone will have already made their choice to follow either Jesus or Satan.

Let’s read together Revelation 16:8-9; Daniel 3:4-7; and Daniel 7:25.

People who refuse to receive the mark of the beast will be persecuted for worshiping on the Sabbath. Many people will choose to receive the mark of the beast and worship on Sunday, enforced by law.

There is nowhere in the Bible that shows Jesus, His disciples, or Paul the Apostle changing the day of worship from Sabbath to Sunday. It was pagans who originally worshiped on Sunday to honor the sun. The day of Christian worship was changed from Sabbath to Sunday under the reign of Constantine of the Roman empire in the 4th century AD.

During the fourth plague, the sun will scorch people with great heat. God is letting the world know that Sunday is a false day of worship.

(Note no one has the mark of the beast right now. There are many earnest Christians today who worship on Sunday. In the end times, they will heed the angels' call in Revelation 18:4 to leave spiritual Babylon. See the lesson on the mark of the beast for more information.)

What is the message of the fourth plague? All true worship is in Jesus Christ. Jesus instituted the Sabbath at creation (Genesis 2:1-3). God’s people will continue worshiping Him on the Sabbath after the earth is made anew (Isaiah 66:22-23).

Let’s read together Revelation 16:10-11; Psalm 119:105; Matthew 6:22-23; and John 8:12.

People who receive the mark of the beast are following a false light. They accept the falsehoods and spurious claims by the beast power, as truth.

In the fifth plague, the kingdom of the beast will be plunged into darkness. God is literally showing the world there is no light or truth in the beast power.

What is the message of the fifth plague? All light and truth are in Jesus Christ. All other paths lead to darkness.

Let’s read together Revelation 16:12-16; 17:15; 19:11-16; and Matthew 24:27-31.

Many people choose to receive the mark of the beast because they believe the beast power will unite the world in peace. They will choose unity and peace over loyalty and faithfulness to Jesus.

During the sixth plague, the River Euphrates dries up. What does this mean?

There is a lot going on in Revelation 16:12-16. It is best understood on a symbolic level. The drying of the River Euphrates symbolizes people’s support drying up for the beast’s power. The kings of the east symbolize the second coming of Jesus. Note in Revelation 16:15 after the sixth plague is poured out, Jesus Himself says He is coming.

Satan tries one last deception as the seven last plagues are being poured out. He will work false miracles in an attempt to unite the world to destroy God’s people.

What is the message of the sixth plague? God’s people need to hold fast onto their faith in Jesus Christ. He is coming very soon!

Let’s read together Revelation 16:17-20; Isaiah 11:4; and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17.

People who receive the mark of the beast believe life will continue normally. However, they have completely rejected all of God’s warnings to not receive the mark of the beast. They have rejected the words of the Bible for the traditions of men. They have rejected God’s messengers’ calls to leave spiritual Babylon. In essence, they have completely rejected Jesus and the salvation He offers.

In the seventh plague, God announces, “It is done!” A great earthquake shakes the earth and great hailstones fall from heaven. The earth will be irrevocably changed by this event.

What is the message of the seventh plague? Jesus has finally come for His people! The wicked will be slain. The righteous dead will be resurrected and taken up into the air to meet Jesus. The righteous living will then be taken into the air also to meet Jesus. He will take them all back to heaven with Him.

Let's read tougher Psalms 34:19 and 91:1-10.

If you choose to follow Jesus, there is nothing to fear, whether from the seven last plagues, the beast power, or Satan.

Friend, will you choose to follow Jesus wholeheartedly and trust He will be with you until the very end?

Fables Reading Order With All Extras

Fables is a Vertigo comic about the real life versions of characters from public domain stories who escaped their worlds and created a small community gathered in one block in NY called Fabletown. They’re ageless and the story begins a few hundred years after their arrival, when they’re well established and accustomed to their situation. A similar story was told in the show Once Upon A Time but that was a pretty watered down simulacrum. I cobbled this list together from a few others that were mostly accurate but still needed some cleaning up. The digital editions of the single issues were missing some extras like the prose stories so I had to seek out the digital Deluxe Editions to read them; I’ve included links to a google drive with them (if for some reason in the future they stop working send me a message.) Overall the spin-offs and extras result in 268 issues

--The Wolf Among Us: Adapts the TellTale game which was based on the IP but not an established story. It’s also a great comic by itself, even if it’s the only Fables thing you ever read. Technically it’s a prequel but like all prequels it has enough not-so-subtle hints to spoil things revealed later. --Jack of Fables: This first spin-off follows the character leaving Fabletown. It’s very meta and has back and forths with characters/events parallel to the Fables, so if you want to understand the full picture you’ll want to read it. --Cinderella: Not exactly a spin-off but she gets 2 miniseries. She was a character I really liked so these were just what I wanted. Events from these are referenced in future stories. --Fairest. The last spin-off and an anthology so other creators can join in and introduce previously unmet fables. This continues and concludes quite a few Fables plot threads while also creating some that are closed in the main title.

Bold=main story

Italics=optional

Fables 1-13

The Last Castle — OGN

Fables 14-17

A Wolf in the Fold — Short prose story. Some collected editions place it after 5 or 10 -and It could go anywhere- but I like it here so it doesn’t spoil something.

Fables 18-35

Jack of Fables 1-5 — Technically 34 and 35 take place a year in the future to show Jack’s exodus from the title, which this immediately continues, but moving them to their chronological spot is overthinking it.

Fables 36-47

1001 Nights of Snowfall — OGN

Fables 48-49

Fables: The Wolf Among Us — I placed this here so that you’ve already met the players involved and understand their dynamics with each other. Came out in 3 formats: 48 digital chapters, 16 print issues, and 2 TPBs.

Fables 50-69

Jack of Fables 6, 11*, 7-10, 12-21 — *6 and 11 are a two parter that was split because of publishing issues unrelated to the story; they’re together in the collections. Nothing is spoiled by reading 11 before 7 and I put 6 first because 7 references interrupting the arc. (Again: a very meta title.)

Fables 70-75

Fables: Max and Peter — A full prose novel by Willingham that introduces Peter Piper and Bo Peep, who become more involved as the comic goes on. Mostly takes place before coming to NY but the way it’s told spoils events in 75. Also references Fabletown events not mentioned elsewhere. It’s a good read, even by itself for a non-Fables reader.

Cinderella: From Fabletown with Love 1-6

Jack 22-32

Fables 76-82 — from 78-82 there’s a backup story following Mowgli, digital editions only have the fifth entry, which is the only reason I even knew they were a thing. Events here do come into play later so I put them altogether at the back of this 82 cbr file.

THE GREAT FABLES CROSSOVER: F 83, J 33, The Literals 1, F 84, J 34, TL 2, F 85, J 35, TL 3 — This is really a Jack of Fables story, but things occur that do affect the fables title. I doubt the plot would be understandable for someone not reading Jack, however this doesn’t justify reading those first 32 issues if you don’t want to.

Jack of Fables 36-45

Fables 86-100

Pinocchio’s Army — Prose story not in digital editions but referenced in future stories

Cinderella: Fables are Forever 1-6

Werewolves of the Heartland — The only OGN that never gets mentioned later. It continues a previously mentioned story but not one that was left on a cliffhanger or anything. I’d still read it because why not?

Fables 101-107

Fairest 1-6 — Picks up directly after events in 107

Fables 108-113

Fairest 7-13 — 7 reveals something referenced later, 8-13 are pretty self-contained.

Fables 114-124 — Other lists split 123 and 124 but IDK why when there’s a backup story from 114-123 that concludes in 124.

Fairest 14-20

Fables 125-126 — Things get split up and swap in the middle of arcs starting here. But these later Fables stories aren’t really focused arcs so interrupting them isn’t a big deal.

Fairest 21-22 — Only bolding this because it expands on something introduced in the main title that would otherwise go unexplained. I suspect some of the final 3 Fairest arcs had their release order jumbled. I’d put them where they ideally would’ve gone but they still coincide with events in the main title at the time, so they’re locked into release chronology regardless of the original plan.

Fables 127-133

Fairest 23-26

Fables 134

Fairest in all the Land — OGN; concludes multiple threads

Fables 135-140

Jack of Fables 46-50 — Published years earlier but takes place decades later. Whether you read it here or after 45 can go either way. I kept it here because previous issues reference things that will happen. Depends if you interpret that as a spoiler.

Fairest 27-28 — The plot follows up on a really old thread and is referenced in the next Fables issue.

Fables 141-142

Fairest 29-32 — This still spoils a costume change but it can’t be helped

Fables 143-149

Fairest 33 — One shot that can be read anytime after the OGN FiatL; I think I put it here for breathing room. Technically leads up to the OGN but is written with the expectation that you’ve already read that and would spoil everything in that story.

Fables 150 — Large enough it was only released as a tpb. Simultaneously issue 150 and Vol. 22
