Magical Destroyers theory 4
Back to the Parallels
So, my theories got busted, but there is still stuff that can be salvaged.
This has episode 11 spoilers, so it will be under a readmore
As I mentioned back in theory 1, there are quite a few parallels between Shobon and Otaku Hero. Now that we know Shobon's origin, the parallels are even clearer.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now we know why Monitor head is always at a boundary. It's because the world in the anime is just a virtual one that he created with the help of Origin (it was kind of obvious that the mascot character was more than it seems, since it was weird that people just accepted it being there, along with the actual magical girls, its creations).
So, when Shobon was saying all that loathing stuff about otaku, it wasn't a reflection of Otaku Hero's thoughts, but Shobon's. He was projecting his own self-loathing onto every otaku. That means one thing:
Shobon is the protagonist, while Otaku Hero is the antagonist.
Back in his world, Shobon was a lowly, selfish, self-righteous, unwashed otaku who would blast people online all day for not liking his game. He was hiding his self-loathing behind a mask of self-entitlement. Otaku Hero is the opposite. He has overcome his struggle with that back in episode 1 and the rest of the series is him teaching his teachings to others and motivating them. He is what Shobon would become if he overcame his own struggles in his own world and improving himself as a person, instead of hiding in his bubble (in this case, his game). OH is Shobon's foil.
Or, in other words, while Shobon is God, Otaku Hero is Jesus, if God and Jesus were against eachother instead.
Jesus imagery:
Tumblr media
(Anarchy, where are you touching)
One more thing: notice how Otaku Hero has Origin's portrait on his shirt, showing that Origin is the real mastermind and probably created Otaku Hero as Shobon's foil, so the game has a meta plot, fit for a god's tastes in entertainment (one thing sustaining that OH is part of Shobon/Origin's world is that, while Shobon is on the boundary, OH fully submerges in the water).
As for the girls being clones, yeah. It's just that they weren't OH's figurines, but Shobon's. Or they were another reflection of Origin's creations.

Episode 2 of Magical Destroyers impressions
An improvement on the 1st episode because it focused more on the actual magical girls and had more weird artsy junk. That's what I'm here for. If you're going to have that in your brand, go all out. Shock me you cowards.
Still not very funny. Blue being kinky as her main personality trait gets old real fast, but her attack name being a thinly veiled fetish thing caught me off guard and got a "of course they did..." laugh out of me
Ew needles. Stop that.
Magical Girl Pink I like ok.
Once you remember that the show is created by an art kid in his early 20s and that Otaku Hero was a character he made in high school everything about the show becomes very clear.
Oh so there might be some interesting lore in here after all.
I still don't like it, or recommend it unless you're into the weirdest of art & pop culture experiments. But I also don't straight up hate it.

Random Elden Ring Rant (Contains Spoilers, VERY LONG)
Tumblr media
So, the Numen. We can choose it as a character preset, which tells us they come from another world, or another land. I say "or another land" because historically, America is referred to as the "New World," but it's not a separate planet. However, translations from the Japanese version of the game suggest that the world they come from is one of spirits, the dead, etc., so it could definitely be a Literal other world.
Tumblr media
Marika is (rumored to be) a Numen, as are the Black Knife Assassins that participated in the Night of Black Knives.
Tumblr media
If Marika is Numen, then it stands to reason so is Radagon, since they are the same person in the same body. This means their children together, Malenia and Miquella (and now presumably Messmer since he has red hair like Radagon, but Miyazaki said that he's the child of Marika, so unless there's another red-haired hottie running around the Lands Between, Radagon is the father), are also Numen. This also means that other children of Marika/Radagon are half-Numen.
It seems Numen are not a single ethnicity, but a whole race of people, with various different contradicting skin tones and hair colors. The template in the character creator has medium-dark skin and brown hair. Marika has pale skin and golden hair (possibly changed to be gold from the Greater Will's influence) and Radagon has the same skin with fiery red hair. We know from the Giant's Red Braid item description (below) that Radagon was either cursed by the Fire Giants or simply born with red hair. I mean...no item descriptions suggest he was born with it...but if I was born with hair I hated, I would blame it on a curse too. Though, to be fair, it IS the same color as the Fire Giants' hair.
Tumblr media
Also the Black Knife Assassins have no physical form, so we can't discern their hair or skin colors.
So skin tone seems like a non-factor, but Hair is much harder to parse, due to half the Numen in the game having fiery hair and pronouns. The game says nothing about Marika's hair changing to gold, so it may have always been that color, leading me to believe that indeed, Numen are just...magic humans from a land far away...she's just blonde.
WELP.
That's all cool, but what is the culture of the Numen like? Well we can see that they have a very strong affinity for women and femininity. Not only is Marika, the most powerful Numen we know, a woman...all of the Black Knives are women. Additionally, if we choose to believe that Malenia and Miquella are Numen, this fact is further evidenced by Malenia's being a strong warrior woman (she is literally a Valkyrie) and Miquella's own complex gender identity. Miquella was (supposedly) born male, but presented as rather feminine/androgynous all his life. While Malenia is a masculine woman and reflects Radagon, Miquella is a feminine boy reflecting Marika. Not to mention that Miquella is ALMOST DEFINITELY Saint Trina, who is exclusively referred to as feminine.
In addition to the stong feminine aspects of Numen society apparent in the overabundance of strong fem-presenting characters, the description of Marika's Hammer suggests that women in Numen society (like Marika) have a role as destroyers and warriors, while men (Radagon) have a role of construction and repair.
"Queen Marika shattered the Elden Ring and Radagon attempted to repair it."
Again, this is just speculation, and the mythological actions of Radagon/Marika are likely motivated by a mutlitude of things (namely, the Greater Will constantly looming over them, the presence of the Elden Beast constantly lurking just under the surface), but I'm making do with what I have.
Also, back to genetics of the Numen again for a second, of all Radagon and Marika's children outside of the ones they had together (Messmer and the Twin Empyreans), most of them seem to inherit Radagon/Marika's hair.
Radagon and Rennala's kids, Radahn, Rykard, and Ranni, (presumably) have red hair. We never actually see Ranni's hair pre-doll form, so I'm assuming it's red lkke her brothers'.
Marika and Godfrey's kids, Godwyn, Mohg, and Morgott, all have either pale hair or no hair (Mohg has no hair visible on account of all the omen horns).
So it seems like the genes of Numen are incredibly dominant, even dominating the gene pool multiple generations after the first. Godwyn's kids, Godrick and Godefroy, have the same hair color as he does. Malenia's "daughters," although not genetically related to her, all seem to have gained her red hair through exposure to her Scarlet Aeonia. This may also be true of the Cleanrot Knights, but they could also have plucked the red hairs from Fire Giants or Leonine Misbegotten and used them as decor for their armor.
Even merely interacting with a Numen as powerful as Marika, or her direct children, can change one's appearance irreversably. Sure, this could all likely be from her status as a God, but who knows how powerful the average Numen could become if granted the strength? We become Elden Lord after all.

Propaganda below!
Sirius Gibson
(witch's heart spoilers)
has lived in a mansion completely alone for the past 12 years. watched his parents die. has major mommy issues. constantly has to fend off people trying to break in with messages written in fake blood. watched his adoptive mother die too. was apart of a time loop. didn't believe demons really exist despite working to make magic sigils to ward them off. probably gay for his (not canonically) transgender blonde best friend. dies in every route except 2. theres 7 routes. such a cringefail loser coward canonically that he has to call for his sister to beat up demons for him because he's too scared. smacked the shit out of another character twice for calling his adoptive mom a witch. refers to his adoptive mom with the honorific "lady" to honor her and it always is like:
sirius' mom "lady" dorothy: "you don't have to do that you know? you can just call me mom ^_^;"
sirius: "but lady dorothy, i have to honor you!! you saved my life"
eventually lady dorothy just gave up on trying to stop him and he still does it 12 years after her death. btw he doesnt believe shes actually dead and keeps the mansion clean because it's "the place she'll return to". all of the humanoid demons in the cast collectively agree that lady dorothy is dead and one of them onscreen was like "yea i don't know what's up with him. lady dorothy died i think this is just a coping mechanism for him".

I wanted to do a seperate post because of people who don't want Rebirth spoilers but the fact that the three friends in LOVELESS really look like the 'children of man' that the Cetra explain the story of Jenova with fascinates me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As does the fact that the Cetra here kind of look like the Sephiroth clones.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Cetra spirits tell that humanity were afraid and envied them, likely stoked by the Jenova influence and they fought and died together until they started to fight and die between themselves. They were 'forsaken by fate, abandoned to unquenchable anger and unbearable grief, condemned and driven forth powerless to forestall the coming of our end'. We even see some of the battles between the Cetra, humanity and Jenova play out.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The actual retelling of Jenova's coming is here:
"Long ago, a wound marred the northern lands and to mend it did many venture forth, only to be met with disaster. A deciever that stole the faces of the dead - of mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers lost. With their voices did it sow the seeds of discord among our people, among the children of man. For the planet did we lay down our lives in battle, and in death, returned to her embrace. Yet our adversary did not. Could not. Thus did it fall into a deep slumber. And in the long silence of its sleep, it was given the name 'Jenova'. Heed well our warning of that which is to come: the reunion. When our adversary's scattered malignancy shall converge to plague the planet once once more. It has been our sacred duty to protect our planet against any who would threaten it. They who came from without were one such threat. The Gi, who with bitter prayer forged the black materia. So foul was the orb's magic that we knew at once it must be hidden, that none might ever weild its terrible power. The black materia shall summon the destroyer of worlds. The meteor shall fall, sundering the skies and shattering the earth. All life shall perish."
There's a lot of key terms there that link through to LOVELESS and this is just another reason why I think LOVELESS is based on something from the era in which Jenova invaded. It provides a lot of interesting background, I guess I had never considered there were in fact full blown battles in the Jenova Take Over vol. one, but it makes total sense there would be. It really adds to the whole 'history doesn't repeat itself but it does rhyme' vibe of the entire R-verse.
Finally, there is the version of LOVELESS - or rather, the excerpts, it's clear we're only seeing snippets of a larger story - that we see in Rebirth is known as the G edition. Again, the wording shifts and changes but the core narrative remains the same.
When the end of days is come The Goddess alights from heav'ns above 'Pon those Her blessing She doth bestow True happiness but they shall know To claim Her boon, a valiant three Sally forth, heroes they would be One's life cut short, another slain Naught but a prisoner doth remain Bereft of his wings, he falls from grace Yet venerated is he in Her embrace Now, through the cruel world hath forsaken us all Will our hero ne'ertheless stand tall?

Magical Destroyers theory 3
Otaku Hero is the real mastermind
Again, spoiler heavy so it's going under a Readmore
youtube
Once again, we go back at the outro
At the beginning and ending of the outro, we see Otaku Hero in a hospital scenario. I say scenario because that start has him facing a medical lamp (idk what it's called), while at the end, he's on a hospital bed, that the girls take him from and possibly to the morgue. There is a LOT of stuff that hints to OH dying.
This theory will look at thing from a completely different perspective, and I'm going back to the dolls.
Tumblr media
This theory is that this is all Otaku Hero's coma dream. Otaku Hero talked about his father and how he was a role model to him and then he died. In Otaku Hero's flashbacks, there is only him and his dad. Nobody else, besides background characters. My theory is that OH's dad died and there was nobody else who approved of OH's passion, so OH attempted suicide, right around Christmas, but failed and went into a coma. The plot of the anime is his coma dream. The magical girl dolls are toys he had when he was awake and that Anarchy, Blue and Pink are based on.
But wait!, you'll say. A, B and P have normal human names. Well, maybe they are the normal human names of the anime characters that the dolls are based on. In theory 2, I said that those names were likely given to them by OH, but if this is his coma dream, then he would subconsciously know those names from the anime with those characters.
Another thing that hints to this being his coma dream is that he is the center on everything. He is the most important character at all times. The no. 1 target of Shobon. The Resistance leader that the Resistance can't do anything without. He is everything to the girls.
Where do Monitor and Slayer come into this?
I believe that Slayer might be a representation of Otaku Hero's only friend he had irl. After his father died, the two grew distant, which is why Slayer is on Shobon's side. There may be another reason for this, which I'll get to. This is also why Anarchy has the most adverse reaction at Slayer's appearance. Not only are they basically twins, but Anarchy is clearly the closest one to OH, representing his old frienship with irl version of Slayer. Slayer showing up is, in a way, undermining Anarchy's existence.
The reason why irlSlayer and OH grew apart is probably because of depression. OH fell into depression after his dad died and retreated in a bubble. He was likely scared that his only remaining friend would reject him also. Here is where Monitor comes into play. If the story is OH's coma dream, then Monitor is a manifestation of OH's depression. Shobon's entire dogma and what Monitor said directly to OH is stuff like "otaku are filthy wastes of space" or "otaku are selfish, only thinking about themselves and never about other people". This is word for word thoughts that people with depression might have all the time.
If my theory is correct, then Otaku Hero attepted suicide, failed and is now in a coma in hospital, dreaming a fantasy where he is a hero supported and even admired by fellow otaku, and has magical girl friends, based on magical girl figurines he might have had and also on his friend, whose image is also present, but on the side of his depressive thoughts that he had and that had caused him to distance himself from said friend. Depressive thoughts that also seem to control Slayer.
Thoughts?

What about YOU, tell me about your favorite blorbo of late
Tumblr media
^^ me receiving this ask and typing it all up
dead serious though, my tiefling blood hunter Iziador has been on my mind so much as of late. I’m reeeeally digging this revamped version of him and a lot of the lore we’ve come up with so far! write up a decently long response to a previous ask about him here, but some other fun tidbits i forgot about/have expanded upon since (spoiler warning for my fellow players!):
• his hellish resistance is actually to cold damage, and his abilities are based off of levistan tieflings—he starts off knowing the ray of frost cantrip (though his magic’s WIS-based instead of CHA-based), then gains both armor of agathys and a cold damage version of hellish rebuke at level 3, and darkness at level 5. ty tera you mean everything to me
• we’re also using the dark gifts to give more bonus & disadvantages to the PCs, and izzy has the Echoing Soul one. He gets two extra skill proficiencies and a bonus language, which means he knows Seven languages total now. it’s wild. he also gets the very fun rule where if he rolls a 1 on attack rolls/ability checks/saving throws, he rolls a d6 and depending on the result based off the intrusive echo table, is either charmed, frightened, blinded, incapacitated, or has his speed halved, or gets to roll again. some fun flavoring on all the reasons why, but they all have to do with his curse and the many souls they’ve flowed through him and in bourreé over the years.
• my DM loves giving people soulsborne-ass titles and while his current name, Iziador, doesn’t have a matching title to it, his previous name (tentatively) does. he’s both Cazimir, The Destroyer of Peace and Cazimir, The Proclaimer of Peace. because that’s literally just what his name means. Cazimir fucks as a name
• unrelated specifically to him but also here’s the current rough draft of the map!
Tumblr media
the various lines and dots on the islands are denoting things like mountain ranges, rivers, and population centers—still fiddling quite a bit and it’s far from done, but eventually we’re gonna use this as an in-gale, diegetic map for travel!
i plan on making it nice and fancy in the style of medieval european maps and adding depictions of the gods later as well—something similar to this.
Tumblr media
alas time and energy, but i Will be going ham with it.
there is so much more. consumed with thoughts about this campaign and its characters. you don’t even know

Correct me if I am wrong (APPROPRIATELY THOUGH), but regarding the "Civilian Marinette gets slammed into concrete wall by Monarque to the point where the WALL breaks but somehow Marinette is still fine" in Déflagration, I do remember now that people are bringing it up that back when I read the leaks these two times that Kwamis Choice was described very differently in it.
I guess watch out, 100% outdated leak spoilers or maybe even not entirely correct memories of mine ahead? For this episode you already saw because it aired?
Zoe was Sole Destroyer + Kwami power of destruction (which makes ALOT more sense), Monarque had his own Lucky Charm (which is also something I found sad didn't happen in Canon) but most importantly, I swear to God I believe remembering that the initial Lucky Charm created by Tikki WAS the Ladybug-disguise suit with which Marinette could return into battle even without her Miraculous.
Cause I remember reading what Tikkis lucky charm is and immediately going "yeah that makes sense, that's how Marinette gets into battle" and that definitely wouldn't be the case if it had been a bin. So I do believe the initial Lucky Charm was a suit which is probably the reason why the wall-slamming moment is a thing in the first place.
Initially the magical lucky charm suit probably WAS supposed to be the explanation for why Marinette can endure that as civilian (which in my opinion would have been a perfectly fine explanation, I can work with a magical lucky charm suit) but then at some point Kwamis Choice got a massive rewrite and now we have a couple of awkward leftover elements of the old version that feel off in Canon (like Chloé for some reason getting akumatized into ZOÉ'S akuma form. Switch-arounds like that normally do not happen).
Of course the wall-slamming moment is the worst offender in this regard cause holy SHIT that should have killed civilian Marinette 10 times over! The show is normally pretty consistent with not overpowering civilian characters or making them realistically vulnerable in comparison to the Miraculous Holders ect, so that moment didn't just break every bone in Marinette’s body, it also broke LONG established world building.
I do wonder what caused this massive rewrite though and why old moments like this were still kept despite of not making sense anymore. The initial script also seemed to have been a stronger story, especially Zoe/ Kitty Noire wise.

My version/take on the Divine Warriors (Part one)
Irene the Matron: Born a gifted prodigy in the field of Healing and Light magic to a family of nobles in her time. Her family had a reputation for being philanthropists of sorts, so it only stood to reason that Irene would carry on this legacy. Especially considering her magical capabilities. Irene would go on to become a social activist in her late teens, but then become sort of a wanderer around her late twenties/early thirties as she pondered whether true peace and equality could be achieved in the world. Her belief in fighting against prejudice led her to befriend Shad, who was an outcast. She and Shad discovered the Magi together, and Irene became convinced that it was the key to creating true peace (spoiler alert: it wasn't). Irene set out on an Avengers Initiative™ to split the power of the Magi and create the Divine Warriors. As time went on, Irene became disillusioned, numb, paranoid, and developed a God complex as well as a dim world view as her efforts fell apart. Being a shell of her former self, she allowed herself to be persuaded in the pseudo-coup against Shad that turned him into the Shadow Lord. It was shortly after this that the Divine Warriors disbanded, and Irene decided to settle for reincarnation. The Matron relic is the relic of healing, fertility, light, support, possession, and grants the ability to create pocket dimensions.
Shad the Destroyer: Shad was claimed to be destined to bring upon great suffering and pestilence upon his birth. As a result, he was consistently outcast by his village and eventually his own family. At the age of 13, his own unmastered chaos magic came to him, and he became an even larger target to others. Growing up in a cruel and harsh environment, Shad became bitter and rageful, and became a violent criminal who went out of his way to terrorize villages who especially stigmatized magical beings or those with magic abilities. Shad was not initially trusting of Irene, but grew to befriend her over time and learn to open up and overcome his trauma and rage as he learned to see the value in trying to heal the world rather than destroy it. Unlike Irene, Shad was apprehensive about using the Magi, and wanted to leave it alone, but he was ignored. Shad's happiest memories were during the early days of the Divine Warriors. Shad's descent to darkness came as the Divine Warriors lost sight of their goals, and as they came together and advocated for his death and the destruction of his relic. He realized that nothing had truly changed since he was a young man and that perhaps total destruction was necessary after all. The Destroyer relic is the relic of chaos, decay, darkness, disease, resurrection, and grants the ability to destroy sections of the realm barrier temporarily.
Enki the Keeper:
Like Shad, Enki was also shunned in his early life due to being a warlock. Enki found solace in books and conducting research as a result. Enki was not particularly impressed by Irene when he first met her, but he quickly became close with Shad due to their shared social issues. Enki was anti-social and was not at all interested in going out of his way to help people, let alone bring peace to the world. He believed that using magic to deal with social matters would cause more harm than good. Enki was only convinced to join the Divine Warriors as he wishes to study the Magi and the nature of the relics. Shad was the closest person to Enki, and Enki acted as a sort of advisor to Irene and the group as he was the most wise and knowledgeable. As time passed, Enki's mind struggled with the burden of knowledge that he was maybe never supposed to have, but he stayed out of fear of what someone other than himself do with the knowledge contained by the Keeper Relic. Enki was only convinced to kill Shad due to his ability to discern right and wrong having been muddied. Enki retired from the Divine Warriors soon after Shad's banishment and lived the rest of his life in solitude. The Keeper relic is the relic of knowledge, mind magic, memory magic, cloaking magic, and granted the ability to create pathways to other dimensions.

There are many things that can be done with the idea of a deliquent magical girl. But one of the story that has a deliquent as a "magical girl" stripped her down to near nothing, and then proceed to let a bunch of male characters stare at her while she bath. The other one has her be some sort of insane bitch who only know how to punch shits, swears and smokes and beat up her mascot. This one doesnt even have some redeeming qualities like the former (who is still heroic)
The only good deliquent Magical Girls I've seen are concepts and oneshots. Are there any shows that do this idea justice?
The only delinquent-styled MGs that I know of is Matoi Ryuuko from Kill la Kill, but she was also constantly sexualized, unfortunately...
Tumblr media
No fluffy sapphic moment on that anime will ever be able to erase the fact that I had to see a schoolgirl dress up like a fancy stripper.
There was also Anarchy-chan from Magical Destroyers, but she was nothing but a prop to make Otaku Hero look good, which totally goes against her punk aesthetics and beliefs.
Tumblr media
Also, Spoiler Alert: She and her fellow Magical Girls turn to evil, betray him, and even murder him in front of his rebellion comrades in the finale.
If it serves as any consolation, there's Kino "Sailor Jupiter" Makoto from Sailor Moon. She's not a delinquent, but she would be often labeled as such prior to meeting Usagi, as she has previously gotten into fights.
Tumblr media
Even when before awakening as a Sailor Senshi, she'd still kick some major ass!

Seeing Red Explanation.
This post contains spoilers for Seeing Red. Please read the series before you read this explanation post to avoid having the entire thing spoiled for you.
There’s been a lot of questions about what happened at the end of my Seeing Red series, so I am going to do a little bit of explaining to clear things up. Before I do, I want to clarify that I left the ending very open-ended, and there’s some answers I don’t even know myself. Without further ado:
Where is 838 Wanda?
Well, little lambs, funnily enough, the Wanda you see in Part 5 of Seeing Red is 838 Wanda. Here’s why:
As you can tell, 616 Wanda (Scarlet Witch) is not dead in Seeing Red. As you saw in the movie, there was a small explosion of magic before the castle totally collapsed. I used my hopeful and biased and maybe borderline delusional interpretation of that moment in the movie, which is that Scarlet Witch was able to teleport herself out. Afterwards, in Seeing Red, she dreamwalked into 838 Wanda, which is why her eyes were glowing red at the very end and she greeted reader with “Hello, little lamb,” which was what 616 Wanda called reader throughout the series. So, you may now be asking:
How was 616 Wanda able to dreamwalk into 838 Wanda if the Darkhold castle was destroyed?
This series does not happen exactly like the movie, obviously. In my series, Wanda actually won the battle with Strange and took Chavez’s powers. Additionally, the 616 physical copy of the Darkhold was never destroyed. We see this in Part 3 when Scarlet Witch reads from the Darkhold while reader strapwarms her (ahem, hot af, props to me for that idea). So, while the Darkhold castle may have been destroyed, the physical copy was not, and that is how 616 Wanda is able to dreamwalk into 838 Wanda. This may also lead you to a further question:
Since the life of the destroyer of any Darkhold copy must be sacrificed, how was Wanda able to escape the destruction of the Darkhold castle?
That is up to Marvel to explain in either House of Harkness or a solo Scarlet Witch film (or else I will riot). Until then, your guess is as good as mine. Wanda’s powers reach an extent I can’t even comprehend, so I have no reasonable explanation for how she managed to stay alive besides that she is the fucking Scarlet Witch.
Since Scarlet Witch has the power to travel the multiverse, why didn’t she just actually go back instead of dreamwalking?
She dreamwalked mostly for shits and gigs. Will she eventually go back? You can answer that how you want to, but it was made pretty clear at the end of the series that she regretted taking reader away from 838 Wanda and the twins. I think she has learned her lesson, and how it will go from there is open to interpretation.
Lastly, I received a question asking whether or not 838 Wanda knows about the “cheating.”
This depends on whether or not 838 Wanda is fully conscious or can remember what happens while 616 occupies her body. Could Scarlet Witch actually shield what happens when she dreamwalks from 838 Wanda’s mind? Who knows. I surely don’t.
A lot of breeding happened during the series. Is reader pregnant with the Scarlet Witch’s child?
Yes.
I know these aren’t complete answers to all the questions, but that’s how I wanted the ending to be. I just wanted to clear up the fact that the Wanda in Part 5 was not literally 616 Wanda. It was 616 Wanda dreamwalking in 838 Wanda. Both our Wandas are alive and well.
Feel free to send any additional questions to my anons and I will try to answer them the best I can <3

Some dragon minion headcanons for Guild Wars 2
(GW2 up to Icebrood Saga spoilers)
---
After Primordus and Jormag die, all the destroyers stop and Icebrood thaw. But the other dragons don't seem to follow this. Why?
My thoughts -
Primordus - Braham un-destroyered after Primordus' death due to the Spirits protecting him and pushed the corruption off him after it stopped having a hold. Destroyers stop since they were just inanimate golems animated by Primordus' magic.
Jormag - Icebrood are potentially a case of Jormag upkeeping a consistent connection to them, due to being the Dragon of Persuasion. And when the dragon dies, that connection severs along with the magical corruption. Potential proof in freezing villages gives Jormag more power, so they are linked to all the minions.
Notable difference with the other 3 dragons:
Zhaitan - Returns life to things that are dead, resurrection. Seemingly does not need to supply magic to upkeep them, only to bring them back.
Mordremoth - Technically only creates new life, until Zhaitan's magic comes into play. New creatures that grow rather than be animated by magic, so that grown life still continues without it.
Kralkatorrik - Brand corrupts more than living creatures, it warps environment too. It's something Kralkatorrik doesn't need to upkeep to have it stay. And is actually his own weakness rather than his strength.

Seeing the dwarves in [place name redacted for spoilers] made me realise how fucked up the rite of the great dwarf was. They don't touch on it that much but that magic spared nobody. What I'm getting at, though they don't show it in game, is that dwarvan children and infacts were turned to stone along with the rest of the population. And along with the rest, they'd have been compelled to march into the depths to face the destroyers. They were probably some of the first to fall against the destroyer horde...
They kind of delved into the non-willing participants of the rite in forging steel with the stone summit dwarves but honestly there's a whole gold mine of story potential there, so I hope they do more on it.
