Giratina's Temple and the Celestica Ruins

aka Giratina/platinum clan theory is back (also sorry for using mspaint lmao)

So we all know about the Shrouded Ruins, yeah?

(This is the only spoiler warning for Pokemon Legends: Arceus you're gonna get)

Spooky. Ever-cloaked in mists and mystery, surrounded by black-stoned cairns like graves and home to the giant Odd Keystone that once (?) housed 108 souls. Very ghost-centric.

Well what if I told you it was a temple?

Greco-roman temples (and, problematic or otherwise the celestica are absolutely greco-roman coded) are constructed relatively uniformly, with an outer later of columns holding up the roof and an inner layer holding up an internal structure, providing additional support, ect.

We have a perfect in-game model to project from, too, in the Temple of Sinnoh (pre-explosion). You can see that some of the smaller columns are sometimes decorative - likely they held up torches or, in the case of the two nearest the 'altar,' offerings

So knowing that style and having the remaining structures we do see in-game, we can approximate a lay out of what the building may have looked like.

What makes this a temple, however, is more open to interpretation. My evidence to support that it is is actually the blue-tinged pedestals seen within the outline of the building - the place(s) of honor in any temple. Irl, the inner structure - the cella - was often fully-walled in, though sometimes this was constructed via wood and other materials that don't withstand time.

Now, ENORMOUS shout-out to pokemaniacchris and the incredible Crimson Mirelands Archeological Survey Project for a really detailed, in-character breakdown of the ruins structures throughout the mirelands. I can only assume the 'surveyors' hadn't reached Mt. Coronet yet in their explorations.

Pedestals like these (at least superficially similar) are found beneath dozens of statues around Mt. Coronet, including beneath Giratina, Palkia and Dialga in the Sacred Plaza area. Now, I know I'm supposed to be claiming that this is a temple to Giratina, but if we work on the assumption that the four pedestals corollate with Giratina, Palkia, Dialga, and Arceus, a new conclusion can, perhaps, be drawn:

That whoever built this temple saw all four of them on the same 'level' of power or -- and this is my hc taking over -- if the statues were placed in a certain orientation (see below) that they saw Arceus and Giratina on equal footing, with Dialga and Palkia one rank below.

And there is, imo, more evidence to support this disruption of the 'creation trio' into two pairs on equal footing, found in the Celestica Ruins! So, among the structures there are two notable, circular buildings that the Greeks also utilized, called tholoi (plural). Irl, tholoi were a mix of secular-use and small-scale temples, and seeing as these two are small (maybe 10ft across inside?) I would maintain the claim that they're small temples.

And they align/mirror each other just as the statues of Palkia and Dialga do.

This part becomes pure conjecture, but I like to think the smaller structures in the ruins might be other small-scale temples for the various mythicals, honoring each much as the Greeks honored a pantheon.

Lastly, the CMASP describes the "Gapejaw Bog Complex" as being potentially an entire agora all its own and I can't agree more. Such evidence would support the idea of there being two groups of Celestica (Note: Not the Clans.)

I actually found myself wondering if the mirelands weren't always quite so swampy, and instead flooded at some point in the past with the depressions around Gapejaw - left by housing foundations - filled in with swamp water.

At the end of the day, I think there's a lot of evidence that the Celestica revered Giratina as well as Arceus, Dialga and Palkia - at least early on. Something happened to cause this schism, and the Old Verses/Plate inscriptions point to an outburst of rage from Giratina -- though, in "pick a god (and pray)" I actually argue it was mispercieved on the part of the Celestica and this misperception is what caused Arceus to despair and withdraw.

Open to discussion!! fellow nerds please interact!!

#pla #pokemon legends arceus #celestica #celestica people #pokemon lore #giratina #arceus #volo #i also think there's a correlation between the ancient hero story's bolts of rage and alphas/hisuian pokemon aggression #specifically my internal timeline is that the schism predates everything purely on the secular/human level #arceus then empowered the noble pokemons' ancestors and fought the hero and believed humans were worthy of his blessing until the celestica #blamed giratina for the rage lightning and shattered the statue and maybe even drove the gira sect out #this dismayed arceus and it withdrew leaving the rage to fade but still linger and make hisui inhospitable #the celestica left (of their own volition imo) to seek out arceus and other knowledge and the clans came after #the clans saw only two statues (palkia and dialga) and picked sides but still upheld the tradition honoring the nobles #i imagine cogita being direct celestica (immortal or otherwise) and volo being gira clan descended or otherwise descended from the diaspora #the celestica then went to sinjoh/johto and so on and so forth #long post #reference

Extremely strange question, but can we get a recipe for Roasted Grandpaw? Or at least like what other ingredients and/or flavors it includes? Obsessed with the real world concepts of culturally significant foods/holiday traditions(which often includes special meals bc such is being a living being, loving Good Food) and if I remember correctly this is the only one you've showcased with a specific source event

Roasted Grandpaw is a special treat, honoring SkyClan's History! It can be made year-round, but has a special place in their version of an "independence day."

The traditional ingredients are;

Large Rat (for the rat ancestors)

Mushroom Gravy (for Cloudstar’s journey)

Kibble (for Spiderstar's plan)

You take the rat, skin it, and remove the offal. This is chopped and sauteed in the mushroom gravy. Meanwhile, you take your kibble and add it to a boiling bone broth, until it becomes fat and juicy.

Then, combine the sauteed offal and the marinated kibble, mixing them up nicely. Stuff this back into the raw rat, and then bake. The juices of the meat soak into the stuffing, and the whole rat will sizzle.

Apply extra juice as it bakes, so it doesn't dry. Firestar, leader of BarbequeClan, taught them this very important skill.

Usually served with extra mushroom gravy.

Moon^2 is fun and all but what's stopping us from including the Moonstone as well. Sure it was shattered during Greystripe's Vow but it doesn't mean that the remaining shards aren't still there. Why not have Moonpaw go out to the old territories to bring some of the shards back so we can have Moon^3

#what if you were a forgotten connection to our clans' ancestors and i cradled your remains in my arms and brought you home #what if i took you to the new connection. to the entity that was almost the same as you #and you then you were finally no longer alone #i bet you didn't consider that. did you.#moonpaw #moon^2 #warrior cats

There's a dead man wandering the wastes. He wears nothing of the clans, his own symbols unusual and foreign.

He's lost, and the zoroark thus have claim.

They watch.

Lost, roaming, hungry. They've seen it all before, know every sign. He barely shivers anymore. He doesn't see them, settled into the fog as they are.

They watch as he stumbles into other pokemon, getting chased off, too slow and clumsy. Stupid.

They watch as he walks with no clear goal. Through land that is not his.

The thing about ghosts, about staying past death, is there are rules.

They shepherd him until the flickering light of the clan's lanterns are visible on the horizon. There must always be an option. They set their trap.

A kit, illusioned to look frail and hurt, buried half in the snow. No human could resist scooping it up and wringing its neck. They know. They've seen.

And the man stops. Croons. Leans down, takes the kit in his arms, gentle. They watch as he tucks the kit into his coat. They watch as every touch he lays upon it is soft. They watch as he turns to the lights, and starts taking the kit towards it.

Inviting a massacre.

So very stupid.

Sharing his precious body heat to bring a trophy, how foul.

It is night, which means there is no one outside when he reaches the camp. This is changed by his howls.

The zoroark don't understand words.

They understand intent.

The man does not cry for victory.

They watch.

Clan members stumble out of their tents. Woken, with spears.

They see the stupid man, and they point their weapons at him.

His booming voice falters. The clan speaks a tune the zoroark have always heard: back, back, beast, monster, wrong, dangerous, evil.

Back, back.

Get out.

The man cries again, help, help, hurt child. A child has been hurt. It needs help.

And like a zoroark, he is exiled from the camp in seconds.

Unlike a zoroark, he does not try to burn it down.

He tucks the kit more firmly into his coat, and resumes his aimless travel.

They watch.

He finds some too-small winter berries. He feeds two to the kit, pockets the rest. He does not bother for himself.

They are... curious.

A kit or two slips out of the mist. Play the eager foolish mutt, like the garish things begging at clan heels. He kneels, and gives the rest of his meager food away but one. One, which goes not to him, but the kit again.

The zorua pretend that they don't know the fog rolling in is full of claws. They yap and pull at his clothing, urging him into the woods. He follows. Stupid.

The zorua lead him to the den.

The first kit slips out of his arms, illusion falling away. It slips into the mist, convenes with them. A burgeoning mass of confused hatred.

He does not run.

Stupid. If they knew the word, it would be kind.

The Mother wakes.

.

Iridia shivers. Not from the cold, not even in the pitch of a new moon.

Unintelligible almost-words ring in her ears. A human sort of emotion choking behind the animal tongue.

It has been a long time since the zoroark have gotten so bold as to encroach upon the camp.

In a strange form, too. Too tall, too long. Dressed in no clothes she'd ever seen. Its illusion falling apart at the seams — reflective eyes, even the glimmer of a third. White hands. Blood dripping from the everpresent spiritual wounds.

Its own mane bursting from its chest.

Something was very, very wrong with it.

Iridia isn't a fool. She had seen the fogbank surrounding the camp. If they were to send their elders here to die, she would have no part in it. She knows better than to invite that malice.

It would be a trap, either way.

Still, she mourns. The hatred, its festering. She thinks of the senile zoroark, and she does not sleep.

#submas #ingo #warden ingo #pokemon iridia #pokemon ingo #what are tags...#my writing #submas microwave au #setting this up to be so serious. its not #it should be clear that the clan is totally valid for this fyi #like. theyre not evil. just inherited their ancestors sins and tensions and are doing their best

Houndwhistle: I resign myself to my fate in the dark forest for killing our leader... My actions were just and true, at least my husband will understand that I did what had to be done and will join me there, surely... Spotears rolling up from cat heaven: YOU DID WHAT!!!

AKA CicadaClan's #1 dark forest murderer gets screamed at by his ex-mate for killing said ex-mate's closest friend and then lying about it for the rest of their lives! Poor Spotears only found out his husband was a murderer when he died himself and met up with his bestie to learn the truth!

cat drama simulator never fails to deliver, i swear...

#t3 art #fan art #warrior cats #clangen #clan generator #CicadaClan #blood #but its like... cartoon blood #anyway CicadaClan's ancestors appear as a swarm of cicadas and moths while the dark forest dwellers are covered in parasitic bugs #Houndwhistle is always sloshing around in a pool of blood because he spilled blood unnecessarily so YYYYEA

I have wanted to draw Adaman and Irida for a long time because of their appearance in the game Pokemon Masters EX. The desire increased with the implementation of Photomontages and their modern dancing clothes.

Part 2: https://www.tumblr.com/laadep/747924999471546368/

If you think about it: Adaman would be the ancestor of Perrin and Maxie. While Irida would be the ancestor of Archie. Paulo's thing is a crazy thought of mine because they look similar to me.

In the game Irida's alternative clothes are cyan and blue. While her alternative dancing clothes are lylac/violet like Paulo's clothes.

In the game I have Adaman and Irida (with modern clothes). I still have to get Paulo and normal Irida from the Gacha. Gotta save enough Diamonds for that.

Photomontages i did from the game.

Versiones en español: DeviantArt e Instagram

Also Jayfeather behaving like that while being a doctor is like, an actual hazard. That type of behavior leads to patients to avoiding going to checkups, hiding their symptoms and being evasive in general because they don’t want their doctors yelling at them and treating them like idiots. I used to like Jay a lot, but he himself knows what it’s like to be condescend to, so it surprises me that he would act like that. I guess the writing team just doesn’t know how to treat his snappish nature in a balanced, even though they did manage with Yellowfang (even before Briarlight died, he yelled at twigkit and told her she deserved to feel bad and Briarlight was literally there trying to give her warmth, and I also can’t blame the new writing team completely because during the last omen of the stars book he literally calls Briarlight an idiot for being pregnant when the dark forest is near like she was willingly putting herself at risk or something) Also imo a lot of cats probably ask or wait for Alderheart, especially kits

My personal theory is that they wanted to recapture the same energy that Yellowfang had: a grumpy, snarky medic who was and still is a fan favorite but they had no one to bounce his energy off of and had him going way too harsh and then writing other cats to roll their eyes and go "oh jayfeather!"

just for more personal reasons, cats avoiding the healer's den just because of him rubbed me the wrong way. i do not like that, erins, it does not endear this character to me it just makes him look like a dick in a position of power.

#deer rambles #i know the books pretend being a healer is soooo lame #but like. he's an advisor to the leader he shares dreams with their ancestors he is responsible for the medical care of everyone #he's not some down on his luck guy he's one of the more powerful cats in the clan lol

We have two series about freaking PACMAN and they're both 40+ episodes. And you're telling me CASTLEVANIA didnt have enough plot to make less than 40 episodes ?? CASTLEVANIA ????

You're really trying to tell me that someone had the inspiration to create a whole ass cartoon about pacman with only "yellow circle flees from and eats ghosts" as a premise, but "an ancestral clan trapped in a cycle of violence, trauma and grief must defeat the Dark Lord Dracula, the most powerful being to have ever existed, every 100 years. They cant escape their fate, for they are the only men capable of killing him, due to their superhuman abilities and their main weapon, the Vampire Killer, wich both have been passed down for generations since Leon Belmont, the Dark Lord's old friend, who sworn for his clan to hunt him for eternity." Is "NOT ENOUGH PLOT" ???

AND THIS IS JUST A SHORT, GLOBAL SUMMARY. THERE'S SO MUCH MORE TO CASTLEVANIA CHARACTERS AND GAMES.

Y'all need to stop insulting the original media to defend your stuff (wich wouldnt exist without said media). Dare I say, if you need to bring the games down to lift the serie up, then there's a problem with your serie. And you also need to stop giving stupid excuses to incompetent writers.

Castlevania has a heart, it was possible to make a serie out of it without butchering it.

#listen. y'all like and defend netflixvania all you want. idc you do you #but stop denying the facts just to justify your opinion.#the ONE thing that makes the heart of the serie is 'belmont defeat dracula' AND THEY DIDNT EVEN DO THAT #i am sorry. but father/son tragedy is NOTHING compared to #'WHOLE LINEAGE DOOMED TO KILL THEIR FOUNDER'S OLD FRIEND FOR CENTURIES' TRAGEDY #'WHOLE CLAN UNABLE TO ESCAPE FIGHTING FOR ETERNITY AND LOSING LOVED ONES' TRAGEDY #'CLAN FORCED TO FIGHT FOR THE FATE OF THE WORLD BUT THEY'RE JUST HUMANS AND ITS HARD' TRAGEDY #anyway i love Castlevania <3 #castlevania #netflixvania #netflix castlevania #also it could have been just as tragic and heartbreaking if Al had let Trevor kill his dad #all this talk about Leon coming to wallachia to hunt Dracula. only to end up with Trevor NOT finishing his ancestor's job.#smh #oh yeah also #pacman #pacman serie #pacman cartoon

I’m Thinkin about that one post where it’s like “you’re living in more luxury than your ancestors could ever dream of they’d be proud of you” and because I have rottmnt brain rot it’s like:

Splinter: I abandoned my duties as a Hamato and have wasted my life and now I’m an old rat man who didn’t even teach his sons properly, my ancestors must be rolling in their graves :(

Hamato ancestors who dedicated their lives to stopping the shredder: Even though our descendant strayed from the path he did his best for his family and raised his children well and we’re still proud of him

Hamato ancestors who were like, farmers and peasants: *cheering wildly as splinter eats his third slice of cake*

#Yes I KNOW they were a ninja clan but like they had to start SOMEWHERE #they couldn’t ALL be ninjas someone had to be doing the accounting #Where’s the hamato ancestor who was real good at fishing #Rottmnt #Hamato ancestors be like “holy shit you get to sit around all day eating delicacies and being entertained by your future technology?”#“Surely you are a noble lord in the height of society”
