Hei Xiazi: Uh, I think I got your lunch. *Holds up a note that reads: ‘I am very proud of you. Love, Pangzi ’*
Wu Xie: Oh yeah. I didn’t think this was for me. *Holds up a note that reads: ‘Be good. For the love of God, Please be good.’*

Wu Xie saying "I have a habit of waking up zombies" could be that he's super clumsy BUT
In Chinese tradition, the undead are most roused by yang energy, which can be found as male, life energy. Especially found in young, virile, often sexually frustrated males...
Add that with uncle Wu saying he thinks Wu Xie still has his 'red scarf' (aka is a virigin) and you have some canon evidence that Wu Xie is a liability in tomb raiding because he needs to get laid.
Xiaoge can help with that

The very first time I met Wu Xie, I fell deeply in love with him. Of course, as I got to know him better that feeling faded.
Basically almost everyone who ever met Wu Xie

Xiaoge : Kill them
Wu Xie: That's a bit extreme, I was hoping for a more passive solution

I did a silly thing on Twitter that I wanted to put up and tag over here because I know there are fans of the show around who might appreciate it.

for lamplight treebark reqs perhaps a little bit of ren coping with and/or coming to terms with that the fact that his love for his paladin is not the expected sort of love that a god would feel for their follower. the differences between the love of a deity and a worshipper and the far more personal, mortal way he loves martyn, beyond his oath and devotion
ty for sending me a lamplight treebark req. this is quite short and only… sorta addresses what you said, but i present it to you nonetheless
The thing about Ren is he wasn’t meant to be a god.
Ren had been born mortal, and though he hadn’t died one, his heart hasn’t changed.
Back during Ren’s prime, Ren had only built a single temple, just so his people knew where to find him. He hadn’t bothered with titles, either—Dogwarts had called him Ren, and his followers had called on him to fix broken fences and enchant children’s toys.
Ren had been a neighbor long before he’d been a god, and he’d preferred it that way. Even as the people he grew up alongside grew old without him, even when the children he watched play became adults, even when those adults introduced him to children of their own.
The first person to call him My Lord is his paladin, and this is only because Ren can’t tell the man his real name.
Unlike most of Ren’s people, Martyn thinks of Ren first and foremost as a god.
He isn’t devout, not really, but Martyn is the first to try holy devotion. He promises offerings from his meals, as transparent as he is with holding back the best for himself. He offers conversation he calls prayer, and it means everything to a lonely flame. He offers an oath, and with it Ren has purpose in a world bereft of the thing he lived and died for.
Martyn believes himself to be paladin to the God of Dogwarts, the once-city’s protector and patron. There are plenty of reasons which Ren thinks him incorrect, but they boil down to a difference in domain.
Ren has not been God of Dogwarts since he lost it—For twenty years, Ren has not been anything at all. Not until a soon-to-be paladin found his tomb and dragged him back from his could-not-be death.
Ren has remade himself once, a god for a city abandoned. He remade himself again, flame without light. Martyn remakes him a third time—revives him, gives him purpose.
These days, Ren fancies himself God of Martyn.
And, well. Ren may be a god, but his heart is still the same as when it was mortal. The blood he bleeds is not ichor, and it runs red as anything that dies—or it used to, anyway, back when he had blood to shed.
Martyn may love Ren as a god, but Ren loves him the only way Ren’s ever known how—like a mortal. Ren has never wanted for offerings or temples or worship. What Ren’s human heart wants from Martyn is simply to stay at his side.
Still. Ren will be his god, as long as Ren can be his.

Chapter 14 of Harrow the Ninth
Tumblr media
So Harrow's rooms were intended for Anastasia, but for some reason she never used them. I guess maybe she died before the Lyctors began living on the Mithraeum? Only, if the rooms were intended for her in the first place, they had to pre-date her death. Maybe, since she isn't listed as a saint, she died rather than actually become a Lyctor? Maybe she did do what Cytherea pointed out they all could have done and just... didn't do it? She and her cavalier could have both lived out their natural lives as regular people and they'd still both be very dead by this point in time, so that wouldn't change them being crossed out in the Dramatis Personae. Does Harrow know what happened to Anastasia and just isn't telling us for some reason?
The idea of Harrow wandering around the Mithraeum like a malnourished gremlin and eating raw vegetables out of the refrigerator rather than learning how to cook is so funny to me. I mean, I feel that, I struggle a lot with cooking, but I tend to fall back on frozen tamales and pasta myself. I wonder if microwaves still exist in the Locked Tomb universe, they are a godsend for the cooking-challenged
The things that John says about Blood of Eden do not make much sense and sound like some kind of weird propaganda. It's like how some people talk about Antifa: "they claim to be a grassroots movement, but they're obviously backed by a nefarious organization", "every time someone hurts or attacks me or something I like, it's gotta be Antifa", "even though this person had an actually very understandable reason for attacking me which is not in any way my fault by the way, they obviously only did so because they were working with Antifa even though it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever that Antifa would work with them"
Also, they were encountered five thousand years ago, but they already know all about the Nine Houses without John supposedly having had any idea about them prior to that, but somehow BOE was just searching every corner of space for five thousand years looking for these people that it already knew all about? I think there is more to this story. Like I don't know, were these descendants of people who witnessed John's resurrection and didn't like it and then they all jumped in a wormhole or something and got lost in space for five thousand years? Like I'm thinking about that other human empire in Stellaris except maybe the other way around in terms of which one winds up being fascist. Mercy did at some point mention that wormholes exist in this universe, I think
Tumblr media
So this is something I don't quite get. I thought the danger in John going back to the Nine Houses was that the Resurrection Beasts could come there and destroy the Nine Houses, I don't think there's been anything so far that indicates that the Nine Houses is more likely to attract Resurrection Beasts than anywhere else. And also, I've read ahead a bit through Chapter 16 and I think it's incorrect that the Resurrection Beasts would do anything at all to the Nine Houses, because they only feed on thalergenic planets, and there aren't any of those left in the Nine Houses, and they don't harm people who haven't committed the indelible sin, which should be everyone in the Nine Houses who isn't a Lyctor, and they aren't traveling boldily through space or anything, so it's not like it's an issue of "Earth is literally under siege by planet fucking Jupiter" either. So what is the actual danger, here? Why would leading John back the Nine Houses make him easier to kill?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Patiently awaiting the day when Harrow learns how to blow on hot food
Very curious how John knows that Harrow's parents are dead and when he learned of this. The letter that invited her to the Lyctor trial, which he supposedly wrote, was addressed to them, for example
Tumblr media
So being able to survive that much thanergy is just a matter of genetics?
Tumblr media
So I think this raises the question of what is resurrection, exactly? I guess from this discussion, it would be "causing a living thing to survive a massive influx of thanergy" where "massive influx of thanergy" is probably just a very technical term for "death". But if the thanergy from 200 children dying would ordinarily have killed the ovum, wouldn't it have also ordinarily have killed the actual living adults on the Ninth as well? It doesn't really make sense that deaths would trigger a lot of death energy that then by itself kills more people just from the death energy
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Please, it's fine when Gideon does the whole Space Jesus thing, because Gideon is cool and actually really means it, but when you affect the Space Jesus motifs it feels cringey and fake
Also, that's some impressive mental arithmetic, because Harrow didn't say "two hundred" anywhere in this conversation and you've been actively talking to each other this whole time
Tumblr media
Well, you told Gideon. I wonder what Harrow's false history is now for how her parents found out about her opening the Tomb, by the way
I assume that John is eventually going to find out about Harrow opening the Tomb, and I'm very interested to see what happens after that
And here is another segment where we have Harrow talking to John, and then a fast forward with no break to Harrow in bed that night, and then back to Harrow talking with John again
Tumblr media
I think in this context, the thing that it would make most sense for Eden to be, in the sense of the biblical paradise lost, etc., is Earth before whatever happened that killed all the planets and resulted in the Resurrection, which lends support to the "people who were around to witness the Resurrection and didn't like it" idea. And if they fucked off somewhere with a wormhole, maybe John counts that as "leaving Earth to die". John calls Eden "someone", but planets have souls, so maybe they are someones. And according to John, BOE considers themselves to "own" Eden/Earth. So is this just a fight over who gets to live there?
I wonder if the last sentence is supposed to make us think about Harrow turning her back on Gideon by erasing her memories of her, or just as foreshadowing that Harrow is eventually going to start questioning all this stuff that she's been told about BOE. I don't like this as a metaphor for Harrow and Gideon, because I don't like the idea of people having "the right to act as though [they] own" each other, but I dunno
"How sharper than the serpent's tooth" is apparently from King Lear, and is King Lear complaining that his daughters are ungrateful. Is he saying that BOE were ungrateful to Eden? That, I guess, they took the Earth for granted? Has there ever been a single human in the whole history of the planet who hasn't taken the Earth for granted to a certain extent, honestly? Does John fancy himself above this?

Letting go of what might have been and letting something new in (previously titled Goodbye)
Author's Note: So, this is what I imagine would be an epilogue for Elizabeth, after the campaign is done. Also i'm not a 100% satisfied with this but it was the best i could do.
Pairing: Elizabeth Adawolf x Kallista
Word Count: 1393
TW: none besides talk of grief and a slight suicide attempt mention (it is implied that the character tried it but it's not really said).
I'm gonna tag @littlemoondarling to show you I finisehd the thing and @desenhosdebolso because they are part of the campaign, so it only seems fair.
.
.
.
It was the first time that week that it hadn't rained. It was not a particularly sunny day, but it was better than nothing. Willie, the groundskeeper of the cemetery, was working overtime, cleaning the tombstones, removing the fallen leaves from the ground and trying his best to keep the place clean. It was what the dead deserved. 
As he swept the sweat from his brow, he noticed a figure in the horizon. They were mounted alone on a horse. He couldn’t make out the person’s features, even as they got closer, for their face was hidden in a scarf that ran over their nose, and they had a hood drawn over their head. 
Although Willie was suspicious, he decided to go back to his work. He heard when the mysterious figure got off their horse and tied its reins on a nearby tree. He kept his eyes trained on them as they walked in the cemetery, not even looking at him, and heading towards one of the least visited mausoleums in the cemetery.
The Adawolfs. 
Elizabeth barely remembered the last time she’d been there. She might’ve been nine or ten years old, when her last living grandmother passed away. She could barely understand what was going on at that time, only seeing everyone crying a lot and having to wear black for a week.
Before she entered, Elizabeth took a good look at the outside. Her family’s name was written above the entrance, and on both sides of it there were statues of wolves - the Adawolf’s sigil. Still with her hood and scarf up, she breathed and entered the mausoleum. 
In the middle of the mausoleum was the tomb of the first Adawolf and his wife. On the walls, the other generations of the family had had their coffins placed there, with inscriptions on the front signaling who they were. 
Elizabeth passed her hand over the many names of her ancestors. The many mothers, fathers and children who had been buried there centuries ago. Many had been separated in life, but here, they had been reunited once again. 
Eventually, she found what she had looked for. 
Between two shelves, there was space with a somewhat large blue urn. Underneath it was written:
Here lies the last members of the Adawolf family all lost in the great fire 2532. Due to the circumstances of their deaths, their ashes have been stored together. May their souls find rest.
Henry August Richard Adawolf ⭐01/10/ 2475 - ✝️25/12/2532
Anne-Marie Adawolf ⭐20/06/2494 - ✝️25/12/2532
Edward Herbert Stephen Adawolf ⭐03/07/2512 - ✝️25/12/2532
Elizabeth Louise Victoria Adawolf ⭐20/12/2516 - ✝️25/12/2532
Henrietta Augusta Thereza  Adawolf ⭐01/09/2517 - ✝️25/12/2532
Gustav Albert Gaston Adawolf ⭐27/11/2518 - ✝️25/12/2532
Genevieve Maria Antonia Adawolf ⭐01/01/2522 - ✝️25/12/2532
Elizabeth kept tracing her fingers on where her name was written, to the point where she was getting dirty underneath her nails. Although the inscription was incorrect to include her, Elizabeth thought it a bit poetic. 
Yes, she stood there, living and breathing, but a part of her had died that day. A part of her that had been forgotten, forever resting with her family. With shaky hands, she took the urn and held it close to her chest. She stayed like that for sometime.
Eventually, she opened the urn, and put the ashes on a small wooden box she had brought with her, inside her bag. Putting the urn back in its place, she left the mausoleum. 
Outside, Willie saw the figure walking towards him.   
“Are you the groundskeeper?”
“Yes.” he said dryly. 
The person opened her bag, retrieving two items, one in each hand. They threw a small leather bag at him.
“The gold is yours if you plant and take care of these flowers for me” they then opened their other hand, showing a few seeds. 
The groundskeeper looked inside the bag, counting the gold. It was good money and so he took the seeds. 
“Where do you want them to be planted?”
“In front of the Adawolf mausoleum.” 
He nodded. “And what type of flowers are these?”
“Forget-me-nots” they replied, and then started to walk away. Before they could get very far, however, Willie caught up.
“Wait. Who are you?”
“Why do you care?” They replied. 
“No one has visited the Adawolfs in years. How do I know you’re not trying to do something bad?” Willie had a great memory. He knew the name of every single person buried in the cemetery and knew who had come to visit them. 
The person sighed, their back turned to him. “I would never dream of harming their final resting place.” 
“Hum�� I still don’t know if I can trust what you’re saying”
They lowered their hood, and a mass of black hair, with a few white ones, was at display. They also removed their scarf and finally turned around. 
At first, Willie had no idea who this was. But when he looked better at the scars the woman had, noticing how they were all from fire, and the ring pendant in her necklace, one that had a wolf sigil in it, he made a connection.
“It can’t be,” he said, exasperated. “All the Adawolfs are dead”
“Not all of them’’ Was all the woman said before finally leaving. He tried to shout after her but it was useless. The ghost of the Adawolf was long gone now. 
It took Elizabeth a few days to arrive at the hill top close to where her home had been but finally she was there. It was raining, which had complicated her journey, but she was determined to complete her task. 
She opened her bag, retrieving the small wooden box. 
“I should have done this a long time ago.” She said to the box. “But I couldn’t bring myself to let go. To say goodbye. I had held on to this absurd hope that someday, I’d have all of you again. That this was all some terrible dream I would soon wake up from and everything would be as it was. I even tried to find you in death” 
She smiled sadly to herself. “But then I saw father again, and all that my life could have been and…I didn’t want that.” The tears that had formed in her eye were now falling down her cheek. “Saying goodbye was the hardest thing to do and it still is. I wish I could stay with all of you. But I can’t. I have no future living in the past.”  
When the rain stopped, Elizabeth opened the box, taking a bit of the ashes in her. “And so, I free all of you. And in doing so, I free myself as well.” She called their names as she poured more of the ashes away, and saw the wind scattering them. 
Once she was done, she closed the box and she collapsed. Elizabeth knelt on the ground, holding the box close. 
After a few minutes, she heard footsteps running towards her. 
“Elizabeth!” she heard Kallista shout. 
The tiefling had accompanied her, but stayed behind, to allow her a moment alone. When she saw her lover go down, she ran. 
Elizabeth felt her hands on her face. “Are you alright?” Kallista asked, worried. 
She sniffled before replying “I will be.” 
Elizabeth put the box on the ground, and with Kallista’s help, she stood up. They embraced each other. 
A moment passed and she said “Let us go. I am done here”
Kallista nodded. “Alright, but if you feel like you need more time, we can stay.”
“No. All that I need is already holding me” She said, looking at their intertwined hands. “My family is gone. I’ll never have them back.” Elizabeth paused. “It’s time for me to make my own family. With you.” 
Kallista smiled and they touched their foreheads. 
“The journey to where we are now was long,” Kallista said. 
“Yes. And the next part will be just as long.” Elizabeth replied, putting a hand on her belly. 
“Indeed.” The tiefling agreed, covering her lover’s hand. “But I’m glad I’ll be doing it with you.” 
The women smiled and then kissed, and as the clouds cleared and the sun shone above them, Elizabeth knew she had a lot to look forward to.

I love DMBJ because they add female characters with romantic music just to prove the show isn't about a queer polycule, but the interactions with the main twink love interest Wu Xie is sterile and has zero sexual tension.
Meanwhile, Xiaoge and Wu Xie eye fuck each other for two hours while covered in blood, and Pangzi applaudes like the Ace husband he is, yet the show is Definitely Not Gay*tm as if stuff like this isn't the entire meta plot.

so this is what i've gathered so far-- and feel free to correct me if im wrong-- this is just to get my thoughts in a row over all of this tomb shit..
its not crypto... i think. what they have as this "token" is like an NFT but is not attached to a currency like a real nft. the token is like a little coupon to redeem for access to future tour shit. hence why it is "exclusive." which... i thought that was the whole purpose of the peaceful army mailing list was to have first access to content. but whatever...
they only released the tokens to 50 people so far and it appears to be based on how often people interact. idk through what platform they calculated this information. i was not one of those 50 people so i dont get a token. cool. anyway.
one part that seemed sketchy to me was when creating an account for the electric tomb, it gave you the option to sign in with your wallet. so with that, maybe my first point is completely incorrect and it is a real crypto nft.
simply, i think the tomb is a shit idea and they need a new marketing team to gather better info on how to pertain to their fans because this is not correct at all. idk how we got lost in translation to get to cryptocurrency.
for a group that preaches to unplug from the source and not want to be up on fads bc they are so beyond that and want to parts of it, this is a very bad move. plus there are plenty of other things to add to their approach on fan engagement before crypto should have even been considered.

The Structure of the DMBJ Xisha Archeological Team
Tumblr media
Members: Zhang Qiling, Chen Wenjin, Wu Sanxing, Xie Lianhuan, Huo Ling, Li Sidi, Qi Yu, and four unnamed others.
I. Introduction
The Xisha Archeological Team was an archeological team that explored Wang Zanghai's underwater tomb in Xisha around 1985. You may recognize them as the young group that explored the underwater tomb in flashbacks in The Lost Tomb 2.
This post is based on the novels only and includes MAJOR SPOILERS from Volume 8. Ultimate Note does not cover fully what happened with this team and Sanshu lied. This post does not cover the team's entire history since it is quite complicated and long.
PLEASE let me know if something is incorrect or confusing. The structure of this team is extremely complex so I could have easily misstated something. I replicated the information from the wiki here in the hopes that more people can catch inaccuracies.
If you check out the wiki, let me know which photo of the team you think is better to use on the page.
Last edit made to fix inaccuracies: none
II. History
A. Beginnings
Even though the Xisha archeology team explored the underwater tomb around 1985, the composition of the group dates back to the 1976 Banai expedition to the Zhang Family Tomb.
In 1976, some members of the Mystic Nine's second generation (Chen Wenjin, Huo Ling, etc.) went on an expedition to the Zhang Family Tomb in Banai. Besides Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling, it's not clear who all in the second generation of the Mystic Nine went. The team was organized by an unknown force, related to "It," to place a coffin in the tomb.
In 1978, the team found the place they were looking for and began their mission. While Chen Wenjin, Huo Ling, and some unspecified others were exploring underground, Pan Ma killed the members of the team up top. When Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling returned aboveground, they found that Xie Jiuye's people had replaced their former team.
The real Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling secretly managed to escape and flee Banai, but it's not explained how they got away. The people that replaced the team were wearing face masks in order to create the illusion that the original team never died.
B. Formal Creation
(this is about to get very confusing, I'm so sorry)
The archeological team had been formally created in the early 1980s under a research institute in Changsha. It consisted of the members who were replaced in Banai. By this time, they had also created a fake Huo Ling and a fake Chen Wenjin who joined the team. (we are not told who else had duplicates walking around beside Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling.)
i. The Real Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling Join the Team
When the archaeological team was gathering its equipment in Xisha, the real Huo Ling and Chen Wenjin forged secret orders to send their doubles to Changbai Mountain. The real ones then mixed themselves into the Xisha archaeological team.
ii. Wu Sanxing Joins the Team
Chen Wenjin sought ought (actual) Wu Sanxing to gain his help and he joined the team.
iii. Zhang Qiling Joins the Team
Zhang Qiling was trapped in the Golmud Sanatorium but was transferred out by Xie Jiuye's insider. Zhang Qiling then joined the team.
iv. Li Sidi and Qi Yu Join the Team
We don't know when exactly Li Sidi and Qi Yu join the team. There are several theories, but we have very limited information about the two around this time. For example, we don't know if Li Sidi was even at Banai or, if he was, whether he was replaced. We also don't know if Qi Yu was at Banai but even if he was, he likely wasn't replaced. Either way, two people named Li Sidi and Qi Yu joined the Xisha team.
v. Xie Lianhuan Joins the Team
Xie Lianhuan, who succeeded his father (Xie Jiuye), made contact with Qiu Dekao/Hendry Cox. Hendry Cox gave Xie Lianhuan information about the Xisha tomb.
Xie Lianhuan thought something was wrong with the team and was puzzled by Wu Sanxing's appearance. So he started making plans to join the team and wanted to replace Wu Sanxing with a double.
In true DMBJ fashion, it's not clear at what point and to what capacity Xie Lianhuan joined the team. Chen Wenjin and Zhang Qiling have stated that he was originally part of the team. But on the way to the tomb, Xie Lianhuan took a boat in advance and followed the archeological team at a distance with the man who was ready to replace Wu Sanxing.
Despite the lack of clarity, it is confirmed that he was part of the Xisha team.
vi. Final Composition of the Team
The team that explored the underwater Xisha tomb included Wu Sanxing, Huo Ling, Xie Lianhuan, Chen Wenjin, Qi Yu, Zhang Qiling, Li Sidi, and four unnamed others.
It is confirmed that in the group, Wu Sanxing is from the Mystic Nine's Wu Family, Huo Ling is from the Huo Family, and Xie Lianhuan is from the Xie Family. 
Wu Xie suspects that Chen Wenjin is from the Chen family and that Qi Yu is from the Qi Family. Li Sidi (李四地) has the same last name as the Li Family, but Wu Xie never speculates that he's part of that family.
