Do you have any thoughts/theories about the armor of chthon? It strikes me as odd bc I thought chthon and the elder gods were particular to Earth and that the twilight court were more cosmic but I could be wrong
We don't actually know where the Twilight Court are from. They live in what appears to be a space station, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. There are plenty of characters who live or operate in outer space, but were born on Earth, including the current Avengers.
The Twilight Court was created by Myrddin, but we don't know anything about Myrddin's background, and his true identity remains a mystery-- "Myrddin," itself, is an alias. In Timeless (2023), Mordred confirms that she and her brethren were created to embody Arthurian legends, so I assume that Myrddin chose his name for the same reason. My best guess is that Myrddin, like Kang, is a time-traveler who was born on Earth and has witnessed many different periods of Earth's history. It would explain why the Twilight Court is inspired historical and mythical figures from Earth, and how they came to possess Earth-born magical items like the Armor of Chthon, or even Mordred's tarot deck.

My personal theory is that Myrddin is just another divergent iteration of Nathaniel Richards. If he can reinvent himself as an Egyptian pharaoh, why not a Welsh wizard?
Chthon and the other Elder Gods like Gaia, Oshtur and Set are native to Earth. They and their progenitor, the Demiurge, were born from this planet and they generally stay grounded to the Earth in some form-- most of them inhabit the Inner Planes, which are magical dimensions tied closely to Earth's material plane. This creation story was reiterated very recently, in Immortal Thor #5, to explain Toranos's origins.
Unfortunately, Chthon himself is a chronically misunderstood character. It's very easy to misintepret him as a Chthulu-esque cosmic horror, which is more or less what happened in that awful Carnage series. I'd like to think that MacKay, whose been writing Doctor Strange comics for a several years now, would have solid grasp on Marvel's magic lore, but you never know.

booktok cannot handle unfriendly or emotionally complex female characters. show them a woman who’s a little problematic and they start shaking and shitting themselves. women can be either be martyrs or victims, anything else and ppl short circuit. men can be fucked up emotionally manipulative mass murders but if women have one unpalatable emotion they’re drawn & quartered.
if booktok bitches saw the female characters i liked they would piss blood for a week !!!!

Do you have any thoughts on the unrequited love-rhombus in the twilight court in avengers? It seems like a strange detail to add for the “villain” team, but it could very well be a way of humanizing them/developing them. Maybe even just to throw in a bit of lgbt+ rep with artur and galahut since the main team is all (ostensibly) cishet.
It would be kind of incredible if the equivalent happened among the avengers and Thor had feelings for Carol who had feelings for T’Challa who had feelings for Sam, but I feel like that’s… pretty unlikely.
Yeah, that's... probably the least likely love triangle-- or square-- in this cast of characters. As much as I hate to admit it, we're more likely to see something between Wanda, Vision, and a third party.
The Twilight Court have been characterized with a fair amount of humor, and they have a much more cohesive dynamic than the Ashen Combine. I think MacKay is building these characters to last beyond just one arc. He's done a really good job at establishing that while each member of the Court is ruled by their defining archetype, they have more complex emotions and desires which can cause them to chafe against their designations. The "love rhombus," as you put it, serves to emphasize that point. Galehaut, Lancelot, Artur and Parsifal are unable to act on their feelings because their of their respective roles in the Court.

(Still very curious about this "armor of Chthon.")
In Timeless (2022), Kang urged the Twilight Court to question their purpose and their loyalty to the mysterious Myrddin. They didn't really rise to the challenge then, but I expect that this tension between their humanity, their convictions, and their role as Myrddin's puppets will continue to play a major role-- and I'm hoping it will lead to their eventual freedom.

Obsessed with the fact that Andrew tells Neil Kevin doesn't dance "anymore". What do you mean ANYMORE Andrew you can't simply not give me the context for that.
*touches ground* A tragedy happened here
