Empires smp thoughts: Modernization

Someone pointed out that the empires smp s1 cast are royalty, compared to what the s2 cast is. With the thousand year time skip, royal bloodlines have been made nonexistent. With the empires collapsed and no suitable heir, the survivors of the rapture developed modern governments. With the exception of Glimmer Grove, the Order of succession for the rest of the continent is not hereditary. Hence why none of the rulers refer to themselves by noble titles, unlike S1. “It’s mayor actually” The only other princess is Gem, who is self proclaimed.

Modernization includes technology as well. The S1 cast endured long meetings and communicated through letters deliver by messenger bird. The type of bird carrier varied between empire. (Rivendell used snow owls, Lost Empire had parrots, etc) They only resorted to communicators in emergency situations; whereas in S2 timeline, unless they are discussing trade deals, a communicator is all they technically need.

Due to most written text being destroyed, the only preserved document the historian guild has access to is the Ocean Queens journal; which has faced considerable damage. A thousand years has changed a lot of the language. The letters found in the ruins has a vastly different writing structure, compared to universal ‘Common.’ It’s the empires equivalent of Shakespearean English compared to modern English. This has caused much context to be lost in translation.

Escaping Expulsion!

LUMITY! LUMITY DEVELOPMENT! LUZ REALIZING HER CRUSH!!!!

Amity calling her MY Luz… Amity and Luz back-to-back! Playing tricks together that’s so ADORABLE!

There’s so much to this episode, I… I…!

Gus! His growth spurt will take a lot getting used to, it’s like watching your favorite kids grow up… At this point he may as well go back to Augustus! And Perry, I love seeing more of him!

WILLOW’S DADS! They’re GOOD parents I tell you, they talk a lot about grounding or whatever, but then IMMEDIATELY drop their jobs for Willow’s sake!? To home-school her, to have fun! GOOD PARENTS! And the Glasses Dad, he’s a really chill dude, sees Willow going behind the back and is like “I won’t tell!” Nice. VERY nice…!

BUMP! Not only do we get confirmation that he’s in the Abomination Coven, BUT HE’S A SWEETIE! He’s an utter sweetheart! This really all adds to my headcanon that he felt bad about what happened with Eda, and I bet he was being reminded a LOT of that when he had to get rid of Luz, Willow, and Gus… At least with Eda she more or less left of her own volition, but these kids WANT to come back! I love this principal and his layers… Also Frewin’s tail moving?

I agree with Alador, and I find it hilarious that he doesn’t seem to understand Frewin that much either… Or he does but he’s still curious! Al IS interesting like Odalia said… Not exactly a good parent, but he is a man of his word! Also WOW he looks like an utter mess, nothing like the prim and proper noble we all expected! I guess Alador from Amity’s flashback was in dress clothes for Amity’s birthday and all that… But yeah he IS fascinating as Dana said! I guess he is the inventor as some people suspected…

His whole demeanor matches his brief depiction in YBOS pretty well; Looking like he’s mostly just kind of THERE, just kind of chilling for the ride. Has his head in the clouds and focuses on the inventions, on the technical know-how, on carrying out the orders and seeing them through, while Odalia is the leader who instructs things- Just as we suspected! I can already see the neurodivergent Alador headcanons… If Amity is autistic, does she get it from him?

ODALIA… Ugh. I mean, she’s about as rancid as we all expected, but it’s interesting that she DOES listen to Alador, so there is still that respect there! But JEEZ, she’s an attempted child murderer?! Goes back on her word!? I have to wonder if Alador was the original Blight actually, and Odalia was the one who married in; That, or Alador just has actual integrity and acts as like… The second voice who helps rein in Odalia and remind her of things every now and then. Interesting… But yeah, I loathe her!

Of course, back to Al- He may not necessarily be so great himself. He does seem to prefer the easy path, the path of least resistance; He adapts to Amity standing up to him and Odalia by instead considering how she could replace the current Abomination Head one day… Which makes sense, that’s HIS expertise, and daughter takes after father! And Odalia really is an Oracle as we thought… Oracle magic for spying, makes sense, but that necklace…

UGH… Remember when we all liked that necklace! How we thought it was SO CUTE? How Amity wore it at first in Adventures in the Elements… But then she rarely wore her casual outfit? WELL NOW WE KNOW… Here’s hoping the intro changes to remove the necklace, but WOW I was genuinely feeling sick in my stomach when I saw that!

And Odalia and Alador are even WORSE, because they’re literally arms-manufacturers! Do I even need to explain why that’s awful? But I’m really having a lot of fun with the idea of Abominations as robotics; I’d considered the idea of Abominations melding with Automatons, and the show just confirms and validates that! I love this show… I have to wonder if we’ll see Amity and the Abomination Head interact more? And I like how Abominations is basically shape-shifting and form-changing, but applied to a magical goop that Abomination Witches can control…

Belos and the Golden Guard! More worldbuilding- Of course Belos is monopolizing and taking things into his own control, he’s expanding his influence! And of course, as Golden Guard pointed out- Not only does he want soldiers –glad we’ll see more of these Abomination things in practice- but also… He doesn’t want anyone raising a private army against him; Which again fits with how Belos operates!

But the way Odalia and Alador look at one another… WERE they intending to raise a private army? Or were they always open to selling out to the highest bidder- With their desire to install Amity as the new Abomination Head, we might see them ally with a rebellion, but for their OWN purposes… With how their audience and customer base was cloaked, they may have been unknowingly selling to people with a vested interest and stake in taking down Belos!

EDA AND LILITH! This show once again confirms my read on glyphs; Not containing magic, but more commanding the magic around them! Lilith is SO smart, figuring out how it works… And YES, I love delving into the mechanics! How glyphs are about COMMUNICATION with the Isles, that calls back to Adventures in the Elements! I wonder then if Belos can communicate with the isles too, possibly through glyphs…

But we get more insight into their dynamic! Eda was always that talented kid, so she could always breeze the basics and get right into experimentation! It was good for critical thinking, but as we see, she can be really hyperactive and impatient… And of course, this frustrates Lilith, who is very stoic and rule-bound! God she was adorable this episode, how she clearly wants validation… She really is the embodiment of “My child is fine!” “Your child was a pleasure to have in class.” Couldn’t get validation from Gwen, so Lilith went to teachers…

AND JEEZ, no wonder Belos’ approval meant so much to her! Maybe like Marcy and Andrias from Amphibia, Lilith kind of latched onto Belos as a potential found family figure for her… But as we know, she still had her own desires and wants because she IS a person and not a mindless drone.

BUT YES, I love the show delving into how Lilith and Eda work as different people! Lilith is by-the-book, and Eda recognizing that Lilith’s methods have value, because Eda is really out of her own element here. I love seeing Eda experiment with glyphs, just the way they experiment with glyphs- I’m glad it’s not just Luz! Also it’s interesting… The show seems to imply that there really are only four glyphs in existence; Light, Ice, Fire, and Plant! That’s a shame because I’d have liked to see more glyphs in the future, just a few more…

BUT YEAH, this hearkens back to that shot of Luz combining Glyphs in the trailer, and I’ve always hoped that mashing Glyphs can unlock more complex spells! I love this kind of worldbuilding where basic elements are combined in certain ways to yield more specific things, it’s making my worldbuilding brain buzz happily! And I love Luz just freely giving out stars… Lilith is SUCH an Elsa, and her friendship with Hooty is adorable! And here’s hoping that Eda uses that messed-up spell anyway, against enemies…

Overall this was an AMAZING EPISODE, so strong! Luz isn’t dense, like Alador she’s just distracted… Oh dang, maybe my Luz and Alador parallels idea wasn’t so far off? BUT YES this show promises and delivers through on these characters! I do wish we got to see more of Willow’s thought process about Odalia and Alador interrupting her life again, but with how the episode is already jam-packed with glyph lore AND Luz’s own thing, and I can see why they had to leave it out-

But give her some more spotlight, please! I wouldn’t be surprised if some things had to be cut out thanks to Disney downsizing the show… Also again, it’s interesting that based on what this episode implied; The Plant Coven is the ONLY Coven to have such a close basis in nature. If there are only four glyphs in nature, theoretically there should only be four main covens…

Belos, your system is beginning to look even MORE sketchy now! And dang, the revelations, the lore, the reveals… Not much of Emira and Edric alas, but what we got was short and sweet, and I love how they felt the need to be nice but also sneak in a prank, but Amity just sees them! And also CAT ABOMINATION, the fanart came through!

And Amity just immediately recognizing her girlfriend’s work to figure out Luz was there, I love it so much! Overall, an AMAZING episode that blew my expectations out of the water! Now after this we have Echoes of the Past, which promises even MORE in regards to King! I love that these characters are getting a lot of focus now.

Also it just occurred to me, but yeah- Edric’s occasional air-headed moments, Emira being a bit more bossy and strict… As we all speculated, they get it from their respective parents!

(Also Hop Pop cameo I see you TOH crew.)

My Coven Head Autobiography Dream

Last night I had an incredibly insane dream. It was one of those really huge, spanning dreams with transitions that make no sense, but within the dream you never questioned it, and multiple phases and ‘arcs’ that are completely disconnected. But one part in particular caught my attention, because…

There was a bit where I was in this HUGE library for this university of sorts. Emira and Edric were trying to do some sort of inane project/assignment for the Head of the Oracle Coven (dunno why, they’re in Illusions) and of course they can’t do anything about him putting them through a ton of frustrating antics. The assignment was for Edric technically, but Emira felt obligated to help out, and also because Edric begged her; As did KING, because it was an assignment for King AND Edric? They were doing this together? Within the dream, I was glad to see those two interact, it was an interaction and dynamic I hoped to see, but regardless…

There was a bit where far off, Emira spotted a book they were looking for and lashed out with an illusion lasso like from Adventures in the Elements, snagging onto it before anyone else could take it, as she reached out with all of her strength, stretching her arm so Edric and King could grab it; Only to realize it was the wrong book, the actual book was on the other side of the shelf as she was exasperated and frustrated with the two.

Eventually they got past the Oracle Head’s smugness over the thing, and once the assignment was done, they were no longer beholden to him- So then the twins began tormenting the Oracle Head with their illusions and pranks. While that dude was trying to survive, I remembered something I saw in the midst of the twins and King’s antics in the library, and I glimpsed what seemed to be an autobiography… But with the Oracle Head’s face on it, complete with his sharp-toothed grin! I went around the shelf and located it and was ecstatic for the lore;

It WAS an autobiography from him, with his name something along the lines of B-something, Van something-ican. I can’t remember the exact name, alas. The first few pages curiously showed an illustration and description of the Oracle Head’s daughter, some very goth, emo, edgy teenager; Who was now dead! And I wondered if the Oracle Head was aligned with Belos to resurrect his daughter, and/or if his study in Oracle magic had something to do with communing with the dead, in this case his deceased child…

Anyhow I went on, as I got a closer look at the Oracle Head with an illustration. He had a necklace with large orbs strung on it, each one with a swirl-like pattern, each somewhat distinct. Morbidly, the Oracle Head explained that in the past, he’d done multiple campaigns to get elected for a certain position; I don’t think the dream specified, but it was probably for his placement as Head of the Oracle Coven. Turns out, each time he campaigned, he sacrificed another witch’s soul to create one of those orbs, which would grant him good luck and protection- But the orb only lasted until the election was over. Lo and behold, the Oracle Head failed a couple of elections, so he had to go through multiple souls before he finally succeeded…

It was some ghastly stuff, and I wondered if one of those orbs was made from his daughter’s soul; If despite his remorse and regret, the Oracle Head sacrificed his own child just to succeed! And I wondered if this was meant to be some dark parallel between him and Lilith, who both threw a loved one under the bus- But Lilith never went that far and didn’t always meant to, at least… The Oracle Head, on the other hand, had the audacity to go through with it anyway, and then mourn his fallen daughter as if HE hadn’t killed her! Likewise, I speculated as to why the Oracle Head held onto his previous orbs, now that they were burnt out; As a tribute to those who’d given their lives for him, unwillingly? Or as some sick and twisted trophy of victory?

I rushed to the TOH wikia –because I was somehow a part of and separate from the in-universe world- and I was the first to record the lore dump from the Oracle Head’s autobiography. As I got to work learning how to cite sources and whatnot, I wondered if perhaps all of the other Coven Heads were like this, as dark parallels to Lilith… What if they had ALL been young witches, who were faced with a moral dilemma to achieve a dream; And like Lilith, they remembered what Belos said about greatness requiring sacrifices, and so went through with it? The exact circumstances and heinousness of their ‘sacrifices’ likely varied, with some more guilty and remorseless than others, but the underlying them was the same; Lilith could’ve been them, and vice-versa. Each Head was influenced as a kid to do that, to follow in Belos’ footsteps…

Anyhow, I became obsessed with finding the rest of the autobiographies for each Coven Head. I consulted a science teacher from an earlier part of my dream (she vaguely resembled my eight-grade science teacher), and she explained in a mystical, mysterious tone that while these books were in the school, no one had ever found them, hidden as they were amidst countless other books and whatnot; But I surmised that if it was alphabetically ordered, then I just needed to use the names of the Coven Heads I knew for reference! I only knew one another Coven Head’s name, the head of the Plant Coven; Botanica, a name that was actually from some other franchise I knew in real life, that had found its way into my dream. I reasoned that Botanica’s autobiography should be near the Oracle Head’s because they both started with a B.

The teacher was impressed and decided to be level and give me a hint on my quest; Botanica’s autobiography was actually elsewhere. She gave me a hint or two about it not being in the library, outside, and I ‘remembered’ (I’d never actually encountered this location before in my dream) a small little garden outside, on the outskirts of the building. I rushed off, hitched a ride on some giant wagon-transport travelling around the building, and hopped off to a humble little area with a few benches and little stairs leading up to one another, and a BUNCH of fallen leaves.

I knew I had to do a bunch of side quests essentially to unlock these autobiographies, and I guess also out of the goodness of my heart, I began to help clean up the leaves and dump them into a bin. Another witch showed up, SHE resembled a piece of fanart I’d seen earlier in real life of this other character (I have it saved on my phone), and she was clearly affiliated with Botanica, possibly an aide or apprentice. She noted my good work and began to help me, and it was clear that this would lead to an encounter with Botanica herself, or at least her autobiography as a sidequest reward. I got the feeling that despite being affiliated with Belos, Botanica legit had a loving, nurturing care for her plants, and I wondered how this conflicted and worked with Belos’ crueler conquests and control. Did Botanica ally with Belos because his coven system would protect her plants? I wasn’t sure.

…Anyhow, then I woke up, etc. It was an incredibly surreal dream that makes me all the more eager to get to know the Coven Heads, their relationship to Belos, their backstory, their motives and whatnot, how they feel about Lilith and vice-versa; And any potential parallels between characters among them.
