Some thoughts on Himerish and Trial of the Oracle

Ok so it's weird that I hardly post anything and now I go with this, but these thoughts are for some reason so pressing to me these days! And this feels like the right space.

tldr: i love 4th arc, I like Himerish's development, but after rereading last week I have some surprising ambivalence about how his warrior identity goes with his previously implied nature - or at least to my view of the character - happy to know anyone's thoughts on that!

Firstly I want to state that I love the stories, and mostly the first 4 arcs! This is just a thought on one character development...

So I belong among the fans of 4th arc, definitely, and I think that most people who have some soft spot for Himerish/Oracle, started to feel so throughout this arc (although I know some did before it was cool!). I always loved that story, that he was confronted with such a downfall, the dramatic almost mythical story of regaining his identity is so awesome, i liked that he cooperated with the guardians as a person, that he realized he was too removed from the world after all the time...

Last week I got this sudden fanfic inspiration (it's cringe, but I struggle to be creative for years, so my 7 pages are a huge cheery win!) and so I reread the story... and it's so great, but I have some odd feelings about some parts..

I think it is mostly about him being a warrior.

So. The first notion that felt off was in the issues from his coming to earth to the fight of Phobos + Cedric, when I suddenly felt like what is his almost never leaving resting bitchface? There are some really nice mentor moments, but most of the time he seems strangely annoyed without specific reason. Now in the previous arcs, he was not very popular, for he was indeed a terrible pr*ck, intentionally in arc 3, possibly intentionally in the previous ones ( but i don't know that, his behaviour always seemed to be somehow explained or something, even if the reader didnt have to buy it..) but what i did like was his serenity and at times his appearance of a lightness of heart that calmed everyone.. (that is, in moments when he wasn't a pr*ck) suddenly here Himerish is a dynamic warrior, always angry fighting etc etc - like he was serene and wise only because he was an oracle and it was his function, and not that he was chosen to be an oracle, because he was such in his nature in the first place, which i would like much better.

But! In the flashback with Endarno, that is, to my mind, exactly what Endarno implies! H. is a fighter in a war here and E. saves his life saying he senses a great power in H. and that he should act on it - then in the following flashbacks it's like H. went and became a cool martial arts master... and it just feels sort of... why...

(note: i presume that the flashbacks went in this order, bc E. calls Himerish "young asha (tribe name)")

my problem may be that I am not as much into warrior trope, as Im into powerful spiritual being trope... and also im probably too much of a hippie

But the first flashback actually looks like there would be more beyond! Endarno literally goes against his own commander, as H. is from the enemy tribe and is a captive to be executed. And it is said that E. already had doubts, even though he was a great warrior, bc his boss was very cruel, but it is meeting Himerish that gives him the final motivation to stand against the meaningless bloodshed! Implying that H. has definitely a hippie vibe... and H. also gives this impression, bc he's so serene and passive when they aim to kill him (although that may be some basiliadian feature dunno..) but.. then he goes to be just a better fighter.. like don't they have any other kind of spiritual power in Basiliade than becoming a cool warrior??

I mean, I liked Orube-Luba flashbacks very much, where Luba was the wise warrior mentor and it was cool. But we don't get anything like that with Himerish, right? He's just shown to have been really cool at fighting. Yarr is just really crazy about him as his former master, as if he was truly a different kind of being, but there is no word then about him being also a spiritual mentor.. maybe it is just not shown, but then - why not?

when i saw the first flashback, i sort of thought it would have been better, if H. was actually a hippie in his heart - maybe even against the custom of Basiliade. He said E. helped him a lot - so couldn't it be that this young guy who fights like everyone else does, then realizes he could just stop doing that and work out his inner spirit and power that has the nature of peace and connection, instead of fighting? I really really doubt that the Kandrakar council would have gone like - this guy is cool with sword, let's make him oracle. He must have had some other power before and I'm kind of sorry that they didn't work with it somehow... I'm also not so much into his warrior attire hehe

Now to go a full circle, I associate this type of wisdom actually with his nice and light-hearted mode and not so much with angry fighter mode.. he was angry before when something bad happened to Kandrakar, but that was different, then when he couldnt admit his mistakes, that was foreshadowing of his downfall, but his fighting mode was just so strange to me.. what's with the sword, do some magic and restore the peace of Kandrakar after your return, bc the peace and stability and light powers are your nature and not just your politcal function..

then again i admit that while i didn't like much what they did to his character in the following arcs, i could understand his departure.. so the described reason seemed like all his change was to nothing, for he again just didnt listen to anyone despite his former promises, but i could see another reason in line with arc 4, and that is actually his change, he became too human (or whatever species he is) and maybe it was even difficult for him to return to the position - bc this is literally shown at the end of arc 4 when he's contemplating before being reinstated.. and i like that.. cause im kinda very much into spiritual beings becoming human tropes.. or like generally emotionally repressed people rediscovering life..

Well, I get that some people really like warrior trope, so no hate, fandom is a free space yeah! Anyway, these were my thoughts, Im impressed you scrolled this deep, thank you! Tell me your thoughts on this pls Im happy to find more people to discuss witch to an unhealthy level! As a bonus, my two favourite memes/fanarts about H.'s earthly clothes:

EDIT: ok i posted this like half an hour ago, but i got a sudden feeling that i was not entirely fair, so i want to say that i also feel that his conective and calming spirit shows up in those really nice mentor moments towards the guardians, although that doesn't go really against my original interpretation/headcanon - he was a confused young boy with a talent, now he's a mature, more steady guy with a talent, regaining understanding of life in 4th arc, which, ideally, would make him even more sensitive and calming, and that would be cool

Countless the soul tries remedies in vain: since I was taken from the ancient road, it strives and fails to find the path again. The sea, the mountain and the fiery sword: amid all these, surrounded, I live on. The mountain is denied to me by one who took away my reason and my mind.

Michelangelo, ‘18.’ in Poems and Letters, trans. Anthony Mortimer. 

  “Mille rimedi invan l’anima tenta: poi ch’i’ fu’ preso alla prestina strada, di ritornare endarno s’argomenta.   Il mare e ’l monte e ’l foco colla spada: in mezzo a questi tutti insieme vivo. Al monte non mi lascia chi m’ha privo dell’intelletto e tolto la ragione.“

Chapters: 1/? Fandom: W.I.T.C.H. Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Characters: Cedric (W.I.T.C.H.), Endarno (W.I.T.C.H.) Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Dimension Travel, Cedric Lives, Pain, Second Chances, in this case an umpteenth chance, Redemption, Shapeshifting, Magical Girls, Other Additional Tags to Be Added Summary:

Cedric has died, but he is much better now, and he also shouldn't do any evil unless he wants to go right back tot he Tower of Mists. Himerish is dying by inches to do something interesting and is a compulsive goody-shoe. Neither of them really minds wearing a skirt, so they can save worlds with the power of love, friendship, poorly restricted violence, and hope.

Based on the comic-verse, author's solution for coping with Events She Is Not Over Yet.

Originally meant as a light-hearted comedy with the occasional words of wisdom and moral, and maybe some lore-exploring/building. Since paragraph two of chapter two it has turned out there will be pain and suffering.

Obligatory excerpt:

Can't I just lay back down?” His whole body is protesting every move he takes. He is led through the empty hall like a doll. The knees are horrible. He doesn't want to have knees, they are too complicated. But right now he feels too... too drained to do anything about it.

Endarno's brow furrows when he replies in a low voice: “Not here. In my chambers, once we reach them. But here we could be seen.”

“You make it sound like you're running it behind the Oracle's back. Is this a treason, or a date?”

“Cedric,” Endarno hisses, “this is neither time nor matter suitable for jests.”

The Mister W.I.T.C.H. poll results are out!

(original post with the poll: here)

First of all, THANKS to everyone who voted: I was really surprised to see more than 100 votes in just a couple of hours and then more than 200 through the whole week! I have no idea where all these W.I.T.C.H. fans are, but I'm happy you're still out there!

Now, to the results:

At the last place we have JOEL, who apparently thought the goatee would do no harm since 90% of the male characters in the comics sport one, but it did not pay off very well for him!

Then we have the Kandrakar crew - and here I would like to spend two words for ENDARNO <3. As the self-elected representative of the geriatric division of the W.I.T.C.H. fandom, I pay my respect to those who voted for him. If you don't see yet what we see in him, fear not: soon you'll be approaching the threshold of your 30s and wake up one day to find out he's suddenly in your top three.

Then, we have some W.I.T.C.H. boys - Eric and Nigel who did not make it to the top five, maybe next year!

A special mention goes to VATHEK, our favourite bro: KUDOS to everyone who voted for him, earning him a respectable 6.4%! He deserved all your votes and even more!

Then we have some more miscellaneous W.I.T.C.H. boys - notably, CALEB tried hard to replicate his victory of twenty years ago, but it seems that time was not as kind with him as it was with our two main contenders, who aged like good wine...

...because yes, in the end it was how we expected: it all came to PHOBOS vs. CEDRIC

but first please admire phobos’ eyeliner

A battle we have been waiting for since twenty years!

There has been blood, tears, some broken noses on the way... but in the end Phobos was defeated!

and finally, after twenty years, CEDRIC made it!

So raise your glasses to the sky: CEDRIC WEARS THE CROWN OF MISTER W.I.T.C.H. 2023!

CONGRATS to everyone who voted for him - you made Orube very proud.

Will Cedric manage to keep his title also next year? We'll see - I've heard Mr. Collins plans to participate to the 2024 edition...

It's all fun and memes until i remember phobos has lost literally everything and everyone who might have grounded him to reality, and there is no longer a path for him down from the ledge that his stubborn pride has led him to.

#do i hate that they played his character for laughs? yes #am i glad i didn't have to watch him jump off a ledge bc that was better than living locked away somewhere and forgotten? also yes #endarno arc fucked me up man
