Warworld Saga Ending in August 2022
Tumblr media
Oh, and possibly major spoilers from here on out.
Kal-El is coming home. DC Comics has announced the conclusion of the Warworld Saga is on the horizon. After the end of the Warworld Saga Superman will then return to Earth (guess he wins?) for a 6-part crossover in the pages of Action Comics and Superman: Son of Kal-El leading up to Action Comics #1050.
The ending of the Worldworld Saga will feature battles between Superman and Mongul and between the Authority and Mongul’s Unmade Champions in Superman: Warworld Apocalypse #1 - a one-shot from writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson and artists Brandon Peterson and Will Conrad. Plus, who really is the mastermind lurking in the shadows?
Superman: Warworld Apocalypse #1, featuring a main cover by Steve Beach, a variant cover by Mario “Fox” Foccillo, a 1:25 foil variant cover by Mikel Janín, and a distressed variant cover by Steve Beach, will go on sale on August 30, 2022.
Tumblr media
Superman will then return to Earth following the events of Superman: Warworld Apocalypse #1. The 6-part crossover, “Kal-El Returns.” Kal-El Returns takes place in Action Comics #1047-#1049 and in Superman: Son of Kal-El #16-18 from writer Tom Taylor. Superman is back with new allies. However, with the fall of Warworld Lex Luthor sees great opportunity. Lex’s plans will revolve around Metallo. Also, Kal-El seems to have awakened a powerful ancient enemy.
Action Comics #1047: Kal-El Returns, featuring a main cover by Steve Beach, a variant cover by Nathan Szerdy, a 1:25 variant cover by Lucio Parrillo, and a Harley Quinn 30th Anniversary variant by Leirix, goes on sale September 27, 2022.

masterlist | request info
Tumblr media
“I can’t believe you beat me in ski ball,” you giggled as you looked over at Cam. “I’m like the reigning champion.”
He shrugged. “Turns out working at an arcade does come in hand sometimes.” You cracked a smile before letting out a snicker.
You were a debutante last year which is where you met Cameron. Both your guys' moms worked at the country club that hosted the ball. You would run into him often because of this. After a while, you developed a little crush on him and had asked him to be your escort since you didn’t have one.
It wasn’t until this year you actually decided to pursue something with him. You finally asked him out on a date and he picked the location, which was the arcade he worked at since he got a discount.
Cam had just dropped you off at your house and refused to let you walk up to your front door alone. He was truly a gentleman who was adorable and he knew it.
You grabbed your key out of your pocket and unlocked the door. “Can I come in and say hi to your mom?” he asked, peeking his head through the open door.
You giggled and looked back at him again. “No, my parents aren’t home.”
“Oh.” He then looked down at his phone, presumably checking the time before tucking it back into his pocket. “You sure you don’t want to come back to my house? I don’t want you to be here alone.”
You shook your head. “No, my dad wouldn’t like me going over to a boy’s house at night.” He nodded his head and flashed a quick smile, agreeing with you. “But you can stay here and keep me company!”
You didn’t even think twice about the offer, you just said it. His eyebrows raised slightly as his cheeks dusted a red tint. “Okay,” he gushed.
You let him into the house before shutting the door behind you two and locking the door. You watched as he admired the interior of the house, his mouth slightly hung open. “What?” you laughed.
“Nothing!” he said as he looked back at you. “Your house just looks like a beach house.”
“Well it is on the beach.” This won a chuckle out of him as he continued looking around. “You want a tour?” you asked as you walked up to him.
“Sure!” he answered as he nodded his head.
You grabbed his hand and led him around the entire downstairs. According to him, his favorite room was the living room due to the fireplace. You then led him upstairs and showed him every other room before leading him to your own room.
You opened the door and led him in. “Here’s my room. Sorry, it’s a little messy.” There was a t-shirt and a pair of socks lying on your unmade bed. You quickly took those off and threw them in your laundry basket.
At least your room smelled good because of the essential oils you had just purchased. “I like the vines on the wall,” he commented as he pointed at them.
You giggled, “Put them up myself.” You then plopped down on the bed and looked at him as he took in every corner of your room. “You wanna watch something? I can pull something up on my Mac.”
He nodded his head and sat down on the bed next to you.
You weren’t sure how it happened, but one thing led to another and now you were on top of him making out. You pulled away and looked down at him as his chest rose and fell with his heavy breaths.
“Have you done this before?” he asked. His eyes reminded you of a puppy. There was so much innocence in them and his lashes gave his eyes a more doe look.
You were tempted to lie and said you had, but staring into his eyes just poured the truth out of you. “Uh… no,” you answered. “Have you?”
“Nuh uh,” he said. You licked your lips and looked off to the side. “Do you… uh… want to?”
You looked back at him and hesitantly nodded your head. You could hear the beating of your heart in your ear, the silence between you two was deafening.
“Okay,” he breathed out. His hand met the side of your face before tucking loose strands of your hair behind your ear.
He smiled at you and gently leaned forward to capture your lips in his once more. You sighed against his lips, his touch sending chills down your spine.
Your hands slid up his shirt causing a groan to escape from his lips. He kissed you harder and deeper this time. You could feel his tongue poking at your bottom lip, hoping to meet yours. You let him do so, his tongue danced with his.
You felt his hands run up your shirt, his hands felt cold against your heated skin. It made you shiver a bit but you enjoyed every second of it.
You pulled away again and let him take off your shirt. He stared at your topless body, drooling over your figure.
You gasped softly, your breath hitching when his fingers brushed across your breasts. Your hips jolted as your nipples hardened beneath your bra.
“Fuck,” you whispered.
He noticed your reaction and stopped what he was doing. “Is this okay?” he asked. You nodded your head, leading him to cup your breasts again.
Him touching you felt nice, but you wanted to do more than that. You were just too nervous to ask. You didn’t want to obviously have full on sex, but you at least wanted him to do more.
Your face must’ve given that away because he asked, “What do you want me to do?”
“Uh,” you thought about it for a minute. “Can you… uh…” Your face turned bright red as embarrassment washed over you. “Finger me?”
His cheeks flushed crimson and his eyes widened. He pulled his finger away as he nodded. “Yeah,” he answered. You hopped off of him and laid down on the bed next to him.
His gaze softened and you gave him an encouraging grin. He swallowed hard before he slid his hand down your shorts.
Your breaths hitched as your eyes fluttered close. His fingers moved in a circular motion around your clit. You opened your eyes as you held back any sounds that may escape your lips.
He pulled you back into a kiss, it tasted like vanilla ice cream and mint toothpaste. He moved a little faster, rubbing your clit with his ring and middle fingers until you let a moan slip in his mouth.
He then inserted his fingers inside you, your wetness made it easier for him. Your back arched as you let out a louder moan.
His kisses became more frantic, almost desperate. Every time he moved his fingers or thrust into your depths you would squirm. A small whine left your mouth as your hips bucked upwards.
You finally pulled away since you needed to catch your breath. His fingers sent a wave of pleasure through you. “Cam,” you whimpered. His wet fingers pulled out of you and continued to massage your clit until you finally came undone.
Your whole body felt drowsy but still buzzing with excitement. When your orgasm had passed and your breathing returned to normal you rolled onto your side. “Do you want to do it again?” you asked him with a grin.
He nodded and crawled back on top of you, but before anything could escalate, the sound of jingling keys and the front door opened echoed through the house
“Fuck,” you mumbled. “My parents.” You rolled your eyes.
He chuckled, “Now I can say hi to your mom.” You rolled your eyes and pushed him off you.

I’ve read through mountains of excellent meta to do with Mina’s cleverness in working around the manfulness+ in the room and semi-cornering Jonathan with her own very blatant (and widely seconded by the others) desire for total destruction versus vampirism, proving Jonathan is outnumbered in the cause as well as low-key nettling him with the Morality of it all. And I agree with all of that in the strict context of the novel. But I’m forever chewing on the less pleasant metaphor buried under it all.
In the novel, on paper:
Jonathan is being romantic, but selfish. He is planning to go against his wife’s wishes, planning to potentially betray the others or worse if they attempt to destroy her as asked, and is generally playing Russian roulette with God and the Devil on top of offering his soul last week. Van Helsing, the Suitors Three, and Mina the Martyr are all clearly in the right. 
Under the novel, in the message:
Jonathan is romantic wish-fulfillment on a level rarely seen in heroic characters at the time (or even in the present). More than that, he’s a champion against what society claims is Right in these situations.
“You’ve identified someone you love as becoming too much like the Other (New Woman/disabled/mentally ill/queer/divergent in literally any way beyond their intended perfect mold), and they are/will be a monster because of it! You must kill (out/disown/change) them for the Greater Good..!”
Jonathan flies entirely in the face of that message. He is the character who embodies wholly unconditional and unwavering love. Even when the person he loves refuses to love themselves, and would seek to be unmade rather than be the Other. 
In a less extreme metaphor, he’s also the kind of partner who steps in when his loved one falls into a self-sacrificial spiral--giving and giving and giving of themselves because it’s the Right Thing to Do and they will be Evil and Sinful if they don’t give everything of themselves to the Greater Good--and acts as the voice of self-care for those who simply do not have it.
“I will love you forever, no matter what you become. I will share whatever pain you have. I will never abandon you. I will not let you throw yourself on the pyre.”
Oh, Jonathan. Mr. Harker. I love how you love.

Fuck The Oklahoma Athletic Commission, or why Nyla Rose deserves the world
Tumblr media
It has been half a year, but I'm back. I told myself I wouldn't write another piece until the right topic came up, and it has.
For those not in the know according to this source: https://okcfox.com/news/local/oklahoma-commission-issues-warning-against-all-elite-wrestling-after-transgender-match7
The Oklahoma Athletic commission have warned AEW "not to do this again or there will be punitive action made against them" in reference to Nyla Rose wrestling a Ciswoman on AEW.
I assume that I need not explain how backwards that is but I shall just quickly. With the amount of time I can assume Nyla has been on HRT there will be absolutely no remnants of Testosterone or other male hormones in her. But also that is all not relevant because this is pro wrestling not any actual sport.
AEW should absolutely never run Oklahoma again (or just run it again and have Nyla on the card) because this is outrageous.
I am a transgender professional wrestling fan. I am a transgender professional wrestling fan who had been having a good day. This has unmade my day. Nyla Rose has uplifted and inspired me so many times and I will never be able to thank her enough for it. AEW made a promise when they made her the second ever AEW women's champion. They may not have known it but to me that made a promise that AEW was a safe place for Trans fans and Trans wrestlers. I hope they maintain that and uphold this promise.
We love you Nyla.
This has been Undisputed Queer-a.
Slay The System, Shock The Cis-tem

summary: raiden surprise visits johnny
warnings: none :)
Tumblr media
Johnny was tired. The movies had been doing well. Critics were raving about the film, and his agent was blowing his phone up everyday with constant interviews and cameos and everything under the sun. His Mortal Kombat franchise was doing great! But he was working himself to the bone. It seemed like he could never catch a break, and he hadn’t seen any of his friends in months. He was almost never at home, usually at his office working on the script and possible future films and video games, at different interviews and TV shows, or at various meeting rooms discussing investments in the future of his franchise. He was losing sleep, only ever getting four hours at a time, six on one occasion when he accidentally slept through a meeting.
Johny rubbed at his eyelids as the words on the paper swam in front of him. He was on his third, maybe fourth, energy drink of the day, and he was running on three hours of sleep from two nights before. Something had gone wrong with filming one of the scenes of the sequel to the first Mortal Kombat film, and now he was deliberating over his options on how to move forward with the movie. He was so absorbed in trying to read the swaying words that he almost didn’t feel the rough tapping on his shoulder.
“Mr. Cage, there’s someone waiting for you in your trailer.”
That was strange. Johnny wasn’t supposed to be expecting someone, right? He checked the watch on his wrist and then his phone calendar to see if someone was scheduled to meet him right now. He couldn’t find anything about someone needing to meet him but dropped the script onto his office table figuring some time away from the movie might give him a second wind of ideas.
He trudged toward his trailer, fixing his hair and adjusting his sunglasses to hide his eyebags, and opened the door to the cluttered living space.
“Johnny!”
The director nearly cried when he saw it was Raiden inside, sitting on his unmade bed and looking delighted to see the exhausted director. The champion had his hair up in its signature bun, but Raiden was missing the familiar hat that usually sat on his head.
“Raiden! I wasn’t expecting you!” Johnny brought Raiden into a hug, and Raiden squeezed him back, Johnny’s heart racing at the contact. Johnny really liked Raiden, something about his humbleness and dignity made something itch inside of the director to try and bring something more primal to Raiden’s surface. Thankfully, Raiden liked him back, and they had started dating when the whole battle had happened. But, it didn’t really feel like they were together: Johnny had spent so much time working that he hadn’t seen or talked to Raiden in weeks. Johnny tried to let go of the champion, but Raiden simply pulled the director further in his embrace.
They both fell into the bed, but Johnny couldn’t really complain. Raiden was warm and familiar. Much softer than the cold cutthroat world of Hollywood and its investors and industries. 
“I’ve missed you Johnny. We all have.” Raiden said. Johnny closed his eyes and nuzzled his nose into the champion’s neck.
“I’ve missed all of you too. I’ve just been so busy.” Johnny’s voice trailed off as his body relaxed on top of Raiden’s. It had been too long since he had slept, and he felt so comfortable. Maybe he could just keep his eyes closed for a little longer.
Raiden hummed, smiling as the director quickly fell asleep on top of him. Slowly, the champion moved the both of them to cuddle on the bed in the trailer. It was a tight squeeze, but with the way Johnny clung onto Raiden, it wasn’t too much trouble to try and fit on the bed. The champion let the director sleep and ran his fingers through Johnny’s soft hair, admiring how the stress lines appearing on Johnny’s face started to disappear as he slept.
When someone came by the trailer a few minutes later to come and get Johnny, they were mysteriously shocked by the doorknob every time they tried to open it.

So--what if Odium's champion is an Unmade? It would be a different kind of duel than Dalinar is expecting, much harder to even define what killing an Unmade looks like, and much easier for the Unmade to kill Dalinar.
He doesn't trust Sja-Anat so he wouldn't choose her, but what if he chose another one that was self aware? The Midnight Mother perhaps, distracting Dalinar by making him fight visions of his own children? Or maybe we'll discover who Chemoarish is, the Dustmother!!
But yeah that could be a very cool and very intense fight (that Dalinar will lose)

Of Me by cosmere_play
Rated Mature, 3000 words, Evi/Sja-anat Bound by her god to take the Blackthorn's secrets, Sja-anat follows his wife. Through years of ever closer association, Sja-anat's future is changed, and the most precious secrets she discovers are her own.
Teen-rated excerpt below:
Sja-anat wasn’t cunning like Odium was, and at times she followed her passions without thought. Curiosity, perhaps, had driven her to allow herself to be seen. She stalked behind the frightened woman, gliding as effortlessly as a windspren.
In turn, the human paced the halls, perhaps thinking she could escape the shadow that haunted her, but Sja-anat knew every reflective surface of the Kholinar palace. There would be no escape. She was a powerful spren: ancient, unchanging, and endlessly patient. On Odium’s orders she had been sent to take the Blackthorn’s secrets, to be used to secure him as His champion in the war to come. Odium was confident that He would win the man’s heart, but He did not rely on His confidence alone, for He too was ancient. Careful. Plotting. Sja-anat was Odium's tool, picked up once again.
And Sja-anat would be used, for she was of Him, unmade and remade to His liking.
She followed the wife of the Blackthorn as the woman more waddled than walked, pregnant with her first child. She cast furtive, sweaty glances behind her, then slowed to face her fear. Her brow furrowed as she tracked Sja-anat’s movement through a mosaic of mirrored tile. Sja-anat stopped and watched. The human nodded as if she had confirmed something. She turned away, then waddled as quickly as she could toward her private rooms.
There, the Blackthorn’s wife ordered her servants to bring forward a large mirror, taller than a human and bolted into a rotating frame. She had them move a large cushioned chair in front of it, and then she ordered them all out.
Alone, the woman sat carefully and leaned over her round belly, tapping the surface of the mirror. “Come, speak to me, spirit,” she said in heavily-accented Alethi. Her yellow eyes darted back and forth across the glass, searching. “Stop hiding. Whoever you are, you want something, so out with it!”
The human was frightened, but her courage and curiosity were stronger. Sja-anat liked that. She, too, was curious, and had not interacted with a human for many years, so she granted the request and slid upwards, allowing herself to be seen in the mirror. She took the form of a shadow, an imposing reflection of a willowy woman with long flowing hair, a black smoky silhouette with bone-white hollow eyes.
Yellow eyes widened, and the woman jerked her finger back. “Who are you?” she asked in a small voice.
I am a powerful spirit, Sja-anat answered, wishing to test the woman’s mettle. She mouthed the words in her reflection as she spoke directly into her mind. Mere rumours of me have terrified even the most powerful humans of ancient times.
The human simply leaned back in the chair, one hand rubbing the side of her belly with a grimace. She was still sweating. “I am too sore to play games,” she said.
Sja-anat paused, feeling a strange passion arise. Why are you not afraid of me? Humans name me monster.
The woman huffed a soft laugh. “There are monsters all around me every day. I have grown used to them. Besides, now I have a little monster inside me,” she said, poking her belly with a smile. “A monster in the mirror is hardly scary.”
You are not afraid of monsters?
The woman met her eyes. “I am not, and I can prove it. You see? I married one.”
Sja-anat tilted her head at the mention of the Blackthorn. Then you are also a monster, for you are of him.
“Hmm.” The Blackthorn’s wife stood and started to pace again, but watched the mirror carefully as she considered. “I am of him…yes. But I am also of me. Evi. A unique perspective of the One. As you are too.”
Sja-anat hummed, taking in her words.
The human Evi continued to pace, slowly, barefooted across thick carpet. “Do you give boons and curses?” she asked eventually.
No, Sja-anat said. Giving away that little would not endanger her, and could buy her more confidences. Such were humans.
Evi paused, then nodded slowly to herself. “If only you did,” she muttered. “Are you lonely, perhaps? Do you wish to talk?” she asked more loudly, looking at Sja-anat with open curiosity.
Odium would be pleased by this arrangement. 
Yes, she answered. I am. 
This will be.

Who do you think will be Odium's Champion?
Honestly? Dunno for sure, but I've given thought to all the various candidates I've seen put forward though, plus a few thoughts of my own. Rhythm of War spoilers ahoy.
Szeth is my dark horse candidate for the whole thing, and I haven't really seen anyone else suggest him. He's supposedly the primary flashback/viewpoint character for Book 5, dude's sanity is tenuous at the best of times, Nightblood is a complete game changer, and the poor guy's bound to get put through the wringer after witnessing whatever Unmade cult nonsense is going down in Shinovar. The only limiting factor is his oath to Dalinar, so I think everything's going to come down to how strong his Honor is.
Dalinar himself is out entirely unless he pulls off some weird Bondsmith shell game at the last minute to ensure Odium loses, but I kind of doubt that.
Vyre is probably the most easily controlled candidate for champion, but the whole blindness thing would be a massive detriment, since the damage seems to be burned in on a Cognitive or even Spiritual level.
Gavinor would definitely be the tricky way to go, and there might be a death rattle backing it up, but the big limiting factor there is that it has to be a willing champion, and I just don't see that happening. I've seen people say that Odium might somehow play of his desire to avenge Elhokar, but eh. If this does happen, I think we'll see the aforementioned Bondsmith shell game, with Dalinar changing which champion is connected to which Shard.
El actually seems the most likely to me after Szeth, but we really just don't know much about the guy. All we know is he's some bigwig for the Fused but also outside their conventional hierarchy on account of being a heretic, replaces his carapace with metal, apparently can't hear the Rhythms (possible connection weirdness that could give advantage vs a Bondsmith?), is fascinated by humans, and was a/the previous Vyre.
I think that after Dalinar, Odium wanted Kaladin as his champion, which is why he went so far to try to break him during RoW. And I think Vyre figured this out too, which is why he was so dead-set on seeing Kaladin dead; it was twisted into something monstrous by his own betrayal and Odium's influence, but some part of him didn't want to see Kaladin become Odium's puppet. He just never expected Kaladin to take a third option and start overcoming his personal demons, because he himself wasn't able to.
I think there's a very, very slim chance that the Shardholder himself is going to enter the fray. He notes that Dalinar accidentally left some sort of loophole, and i think that might have something to do with Dalinar's planning to be his own champion, which would set precedent. The limiting factor here though is that Odium is scared of unchained Bondsmiths in general and also thinks that Dalinar has been in cahoots with Ishar for a while now, so he's probably very hesitant to expose himself like that.

Six of Crows, Chapter 28:
What bound them together? Greed? Desperation? Was it just the knowledge that if one or all of them disappeared tonight, no one would come looking?
Six of Crows, Chapter 45:
“Chaos,” said Matthias. “Yes,” said Van Eck. “Chaos will come, and I will be its master. Its very wealthy master.” “You will be ensuring slavery and death for Grisha everywhere,” Inej said. Van Eck raised a brow. “How old are you, girl? Sixteen? Seventeen? Nations rise and fall. Markets are made and unmade. When power shifts, someone always suffers.” “When profit shifts,” Jesper shot back. Van Eck’s expression was bemused. “Aren’t they one and the same?” “When the Council finds out—” Inej began. “The Council will never hear of this,” Van Eck said. “Why do you think I chose scum from the Barrel as my champions? Oh, you are resourceful and far more clever than any mercenaries, I give you that. But more important, you will not be missed.”

Tumblr media
Sometimes we have to write things down. For the good of others, yes, but also for the good of ourselves.
Welcome to the corner of tumblr where I share my experiences from the ghost town of a faith I still cherish. I have lived twice in the realms of Hylia before ending up here— once as Wind Sage Fado, and once as Picori Sage “Serin”. The latter name was a nickname given to me by a peculiar person who I’ve since been reacquainted with.
As I currently exist I am human named Matthieu (or Chrome), a trans man, a plural host, and a spiritualist who discovered my identity as the Sage of Wind back in 2009 or so. I was 12 then, but I had dreams as far back as age 10 before I’d even known about the lore.
This is my spiritual blog that branches from my main, located here.
Regarding the plurality, there are a small cast of fellow believers in our system. I’ll make a small list of their identities, their pronouns, and the timeline occurrences that pinpoint them in the fracture or closure of the timeline.
♦️Me (Chrome): Wind Sage both for the Flooded Era as well as covertly for the Calamity Era. Curious to the point of danger-prone. Often socially oblivious.
🖤Daphell: Quarter-Hylian Hero of the Wild, reincarnated after Link’s failure to survive the Shrine of Resurrection. Kidnapped by Yiga at 8 years, fed the Binding Blood which caused him to be bound to Ganon much like his captors. Father is likely Dorian.
🏹Revali: Champion of the Rito, bears the misfortune of having a dual-memory between Daph’s timeline and his Link’s. Came to our system through our summoning pool (which only summons the dead, unmade, and erased). Still cocky, but understands duty.
🌵Ako Ehri: deceased Gerudo King from the Flooded Era, came through the pool. Does not go by his old name as it bears scars. He struggles with English, and his new name is Eheniv for “Wind Prince”.
🌪️Vaati: reformed timeline. He used to visit more than stay, but as his master began to sundown he’s been spending more time here. He’s mischievous, but more level-headed than Serin (Chrome), his master’s alternate successor.
🦈Mipha: Warriors timeline, fought one the final clash before succumbing to fatal wounds. She’s shy but she does her best to help out however she can. She often wonders if she’s doing enough and the answer is that being here is enough for our family.
🦎Daruk: unrelated timeline to anybody else. Seems he survived the attack and lived to be over 100, related to partner sys Link named “Mal”.
🐪Urbosa: literally a manifestation of our Revali’s self-criticism. Doesn’t really speak to many aside from him. She’s not distressed by being a thought form of his.
🌸Zell: royal-blooded Prince, recently began questioning gender. Related to Revali’s Link’s timeline. Still enjoys research, and is just as willing to get in danger for knowledge as the Picori here.
We are fortunate to have as many people as these, even if we are a strange assortment. Most of the posts will be from me (Chrome), but occasionally you may find a difference in tone and a different marker, and that will mean the post is from them.
The likelihood of this place having a lot of viewers is low but we are glad you’re here. If you feel so inclined, we first found our faith in 2009 or so via the Naroin Founder’s Document that I preserved thanks to the Wayback Machine and the Annex Wiki site. Though the proboards site is long gone and the Facebook group is kind of a Ghost Town, we keep moving forward and (Hylia willing) we work to make sense of it.
My main goal is to compile a list of practices to see if it can be codified. Preserving rituals is of serious importance to me.

Been having a great time with Necromunda
Here are my new Chaos familiars finished with their respective champions. Also went and made a Cadaver Merchant out of one of the Unmade models from Warcry
Pretty happy I found a place to use them since the Unmade models look amazing

What was Dovin’s role in Sophia’s story? He was allied with Ashiok?
In the game Dovin was able to convince the Azorius senators to replace Lavinia with him as guild master. Sophia distrusted him and even though she wanted to resign her post as guild champion she stayed to make sure she kept a close eye on him. With Dovin as guild master he quickly began to take away Sophia's daily duties and authorities as guild champion, assuring her that he was just had his own way of doing things for efficiency. Sophia slowly became nothing more then a mascot for the guild much like Mcgruff the crime dog, a friendly face to represent the guild with no authority to do anything.
Sophia even lacked the power to help her best friend Travis when Dovin had him arrested for the murder of Momir Vig. Without her best friend Sophia's heart ached and she was weakened and distracted.
When Sophia could she would try looking into what Dovin was doing and when she would get close to answers she kept having issues of her son Joseph appearing and causing trouble. She was lead to believe that her son was made with Simic tech with her and the former BBEGs DNA, but she was wrong. Her son was a sentient construct created by Ashiok to distract Sophia from seeing the bigger picture. In the end battle her son was also used to torment her when Ashiok unmade Joasph while she could do nothing but watch.
Dovin allied with Ashiok for the common goal to bring Ravnica low. Ashiok wanted to spread their nightmares as far as they could for the pleasure of it. Dovin wanted Ravnica to fall to pieces so he could help rebuild it better to his vision with his guiding hand. He planned on using the chaos to destroy everything he wished to get rid of and then when he was done and Ravnica was brought to the brink of complete ruin he would stop the nightmares and claim his thopters and inventions put a stop to it and saved the day. Dovin expected that being hailed as Ravnicas hero would give him the influence to fully change the city.
In the end the city did become stronger with all the guilds coming together to rebuild but not the way Dovin would of wanted it. Lavinva returned to her job as Guild master, but after all that happened Sophia will most likely retire as champion and leave her home plane and go into the multiverse.

I loved this detail shot when Naomi, her boyfriend, and her sports masseuse are discussing superstition in sports as Naomi prepares to play Coco Gauff. Naomi's hands are show in motion so much that this meditative moment gives depth to her character outside of the tennis court.
The moment Naomi invites Coco to share the interview after Naomi's victory. Coco looking into the camera gives a sense of urgency to the situation and Coco's reaction, but Naomi's voice is calm and reassuring. The framing of the shot, with Naomi's back to the camera and facing Coco, shows how Naomi minimizes her own victory and wants to elevate Coco's achievements at that moment.
The angle of this shot is so interesting, showing Naomi's view out of a car window and a video of her playing in front of sports-related statues. The drastic slant of the camera shows up throughout the episode. It reinforces Naomi's tilting view of tennis, being a champion, and the dread of defending her title (which she loses after this scene).
One of my favorite shots of the episode. Naomi walking around her bedroom as she explains in the interview audio that it feels like someone else's house, and that she felt afraid and out of place being there alone. It feels almost cage-like, and the stuffed Pikachu and unmade bed remind the viewer that she is still young.

yeah! drop the stormlight 5 theory
just a fair warning. its messy and not at ALL cohesive but some of it makes sense (because i stole info from the coppermind)
Ok so there’s an in universe 15 year break between stormlight 5&6 right? Well I think dalinars gonna LOSE the contest of champions and go to like braize or something (idk if that’s what will happen but I don’t feel like coppermind searching right now) anyway like 15ish years later he finds a way out like Taln did maybe with the help of one of the dead heralds (because Chana is shallans mom theory is such a good theory. Why haven’t we seen her when we’ve seen all the other heralds) but we have to emphasize that neither broke. and the prologue for the next 5 books are dalinars return in different characters perspectives because it’s a big moment.
If he got imprisoned on braize it would be bad. The Stormfather would possibly become a deadeyes? If he became deadeyes would it stop highstorms so than the everstorm is the storm? I don’t know. Im kinda spitballing all of this.
Anyways they need to release Ba-Ado-Mishram according to Kalak (the herald who wrote it in his journal that its something that needs to happen for not only Ba-Ado-Mishram but also Roshar as a whole) who was one of the unmade and was involved with the false desolation somehow and turned singers into fused but then she got imprisoned and her imprisonment like got rid of the singers connection and identity and they were the parshmen and it’s also the reason that there is deadeyed spren (thank you coppermind because this is something I didn’t know really).
Also the ghostbloods are looking for her gemstone to set her free maybe as a way to get the investure off roshar as that is kind of their main motive (or at least of their rosharian actions)
So basically maybe Ba-Ado-Mishram is somewhere on Braize and Dalinar finds a way to set her free and with that he comes back to Roshar. (i just looked at the coppermind and it said something about that if dalinar won odium would return alekthar and herdaz to them and if odium won dalinar would serve his interests in the cosmere as a fused whatever tf that means i dont know.)
things that if they happened in stormlight 5 id cry: dalinar is his champion, adolin goes no i cant let you do that and he takes over, its a fight to the death after all but adolin is the best non-magically enhanced swordsman in roshar. During the events of the fight adolin loses and dies. OR OR OR he seems to be losing and then he goes like maya i could really use some help here and then he gets the part of the radiant bond thats like fighting enhancement and also quick shardblade summoning but not the edgedancer slipperyness or healing of others. He wins the fight (yay!) but something happens, dalinar gets sent to braize or something im not sure.
All i know is this book is not going to solidly take place in the 10 days that the contest of champions allots for its statisitically impossible as there is so much stuff that has to happen that we're certain about will happen. Plus shallan and adolin are still in shadesmar.
Additional things: we don’t know who the interlude chapters person is. What if it’s Moash and his journey to become a dustbringer because dustbringer Moash is such a freaking beautiful thing and it would also make the Reddit fans so mad lmao
Another additional thing: where does kelsier fit into this? He was in the prologue blah blah blah. He finds a way to get off scadriels cognitive realm (something something in tlm) and he’s now in Shadesmar and idk maybe he’s fighting against odium in some way. Harmony may be aware of his actions. He may not idk but Marsh is and Marsh also relays stuff to Harmony so yeah. Kelsier knows that Odium is bad and he wants to punch a god. So he punches odium at some point. That’s kind of it there I don’t have anything to go with that. It just feels right.
Now with the road trip: Szeth realizes how fucked up shinovar is, its destroyed from the everstorm, theres chaos everywhere blah blah blah, he finds the honorblades, he does what he wanted to do. i dont know WHAT exactly he did want to do but it was something. him and kaladin trauma bond. its not a great time. Szeth cries. His sister is dead i dont care what anyone says his sister gave off im gonna die by szeths hands with the honorblade and thats one of the reasons he gets kicked out of shinovar. she gives me dead vibes in that chapter. We also learn why hes truthless, maybe he had a honorspren who was kind of following him idk. The death rattle of "a man stood on a cliffside and watched his homeland fall into dust. the waters surged beneath, so far beneath. and he heard a child crying. they were his own tears." is true somehow.
Brandon said more lgbt characters are canonized in this book: aroace kal canonization or bi adolin BOOK canonization perhaps maybe? i know renarin will which means he will also have more povs. and more povs=more visions=more people out of odiums sight?
