Ongoing works:
-A Pirate's Yearn: A Regulus x Vertin story, told from Regulus' point of view. Half-bromance, half-full homo. This one doesn't have a regular schedule because is a fully self-indulgent work that I go back to whenever I get an idea for a new chapter.
-The Pillow's Broadcast: A Mercuria story in which she's giving the chance to host a night radio show to help people sleep better. Slightly gay shenanigans here and there. It's a experimental work that I will try to update once every 2 weeks. The fifth chapter arrives on [Currently on hold because of exams]
-The Green Parrot: A slowburn IsoKania, focused on Kakania.
Aaaaand that's all for now! Any comment, critique or advice is most than welcome. I'm still unsure about how to properly announce new chapters in an orderly manner but I'll figure something out.
to everyone who's reading The Green Parrot, i'll try to squeeze 2 new chapters this weekend (December 20th and 21st)
and since it is a r1999 tradition to make christmas spooky, they WILL be all about ghosts
"oh no they gave Ramona a mop" like BITCH, the trailer said she cleans crime scenes appart from being an exorcist and in her ult she uses the mop as a brush (with the whole patch being HEAVILY art themed, specially around Diego Rivera's cubism)
What's probably the closest thing I have to a controversial/unpopular opinion is my take on the idea of Ptolemy being summonable (assuming 3.3 doesn't have any major reason for that being impossible).
I feel like, if VERTIN is ok with him joining in, every other opinion matters little, even Anjo Nala's (and this comes from someone who loves the character and defended her when Chapter 8 was a controversy subject that led to the most half-ass opinions and reading analyses I've seen in my life).
Lopera and Moldir's relationship has SO much potential for drama as it has for comedy like, imagine Lopera looking for something to help her cope with the aftermath of Chapter 8 and she just... begins to listen to catchy latinamerican songs about missing/forgetting/hating your ex (Bad Bunny's El CLúB to give you a modern example) and since it's the first thing that works she doesn't even stops to wonder why. Half the suitcase be like "oh she broke up with someone? i hope she gets better :c" and then those who know about what happened in Brazil go "i-is that about Moldir??" but nobody has the heart to point that out or try to go deeper because Lopera's mood is finally improving.
When Moldir arrives after Chapter 10 she manages to catch some of Lopera's tunes and thinks "Heh, Pera's probably having a riot right now. She always laughed when a soldier was dramatic over a break-up. :)"

Vertin has been gradually setting up precautions for every posible contingency in a long list of Telenovelas' tropes, kindly written by every member of Team Timekeeper who either watch them, lived in or are from Latinoamerica.
...i just realized Célia and Kakania had beef (that in both cases scalated to pointing guns at each other) with Professor Red (Roseau comes from the french Roux, "red-haired", which is a variation of Rouge, "red") and Dr. Black (Schwartz comes from Schwarz which means "black" or "dark" in german).
Which are intersting colors since Célia and Klara have latin roots (Caelum and Clarus) that give an opposite vibe since they mean "Heavenly" and "Clear/Bright".
Hell, Roseau and Schwartz even have the same hair color, mustache, eye color...
But you know what could be INCREDIBLY funny?
If Kakania is Reversed!Célia, then that would mean her and Adele both ended up in complicated situationships with purple girls who worked for the manus. That they both had to fight and trap them (physically, in the case of Felicienne, mentally in the case of Isolde) in order to guarantee their survival while a storm wiped their eras. One is a ghost who overcame death and planned to take possession of a body. The other is a suicidal medium who let ghosts use her as a vessel. Even more, both girls come from noble families who fell into ruin, have great singing skills and are tied to Adele and Kakania through a peace of jewerly (The French Blue and the Everheart).
Reverse99 fans: Please please please BluePoch, please let this npc become playable, it'll be so awesome and cool! :D
BluePoch, letting the monkey's paw curl since Triste Tropiques (my beloathed) and beyond: Reincarnation from the Storm is possible, it just wipes away their past and haunts their new era with the face of someone you lost with mannerisms and interests that hit you like a brick once the pieces start coming together. Just remember: Despite the similarities, they're not the same person that you knew :)
Vertin, really feeling the guilt after Paradise Regained: ...Oh my god. I understand Sotheby more than ever! :(

The "Kakania and Célia" theory goes wild. Whether you support it or not, it opens the way for some VERY interesting readings and is quite full of fun details that may lead to something. Here's a recolection for those who might be interested [HEAVY SPOILERS AHEAD]
Overall, the main idea of this post is that the "Kakania is actually reversed!Célia" theory implies that Beryl was involved in the fates of all 5 characters who got garments this patch, whether preventing a bad ending or spawning them as important players in the main story.
According to Bluepoch, these 3 come from what-if scenarios.
As we know, Pioneer and Kaalaa Baunaa come from 2.0 and 1.3 respectively. These patches have one thing in common: Matilda. She played a key role in both stories to prevent the worst possible scenario. Their stories are referenced again in 3.2 in two other instances: Matilda's anecdote (where she finds out J has joined the Razor Squad) and a brief mention (which, i'll admit, can't remember if it was in the 3.2 story or in Beryl's story) of how Brume met Matilda during 1.3.
But what about Isolde? Before that, let's go to the 0to21 garments.
We already know the toy robot Anjo Nala was trapped in was one of the 5 items Beryl (through Scott) stole from the Foundation. From this, i'm just gonna point out a few tidbits that might be of interest but not make any major conections:
>Nala debuted as a character in 2.0
>Scott looks similar to Kakania and Célia (she is from the OG era (before the 1st storm) though, so this is just an amusing coincidence. Either that or Beryl thought she was funny for choosing a goon who looks like her employee's dead friend.)
If we assume the "Kakania is reversed!Célia" theory is right, then this would mean Bluepoch gave us tarot garments for characters who spawned into the main story due to Beryl's actions, and as The Devil and The Tower: a duo that symbolize "breaking through unhealthy or toxic patterns, places, or relationships through a really explosive way" (Quite fitting not only for their stories, but also for Beryl's and even R1999's overall plot). If there's any tarot expert reading this, feel free to correct me if my reading is wrong though.
Now, back to Isolde. This begins with the end of 3.2 and the 5th storm: it reversed time from 1936 to 1913, Marcus and Heinrich's era.
If Célia spawned as Kakania here, then there IS a chance for a very similar version of this era's Kakania to spawn after the 8th storm (the one that reversed time from 1929 to 1914). Why? Let's go to 2.0 now.
The story of this event implies that the San Francisco that appeared after the 9th storm (1914 to 1990) is VERY similar to the one that existed before the 1st storm. Think about it: J's sister, Paulina, joined the Foundation during the OG era, and got reversed in the 2nd storm, according to Hofmann's report in 5.5. If she joined in 1989-1990 from the OG era (which 2.0 implies), then she spent over 10 years working at the Foundation, got reversed and, several storms later, a very similar version of her era, big brother included, came back from the oceans of time. The Karlson-Duncan situation happens if someone gets reversed from one era to another, but 2.0 implies that it is possible for people, events and places to come back almost exactly the same. My guess is that this is also somewhat affected by how much Manus altered history prior, but that's not important right now.
My point is that, if the events of 3.2 lead to the spawning of Marcus, Kakania and Heinrich, then you can say Beryl took a role in changing Isolde's fate.

That's all I can say coherently about the matter. The following are just a few tidbits I found worth mentioning.
>3.2 takes place in 1936, right in the middle of the 13 years it took Robert Musil to write "The Man without Qualities" (1930 until his death in 1943, which led his magnus opus unfinished.), the book Kakania took her nickname from.
>Heinrich probably picked up the book from Regulus' era (1966) since it was published in the 40s and the whole sequence after the 5th storm was 1914 -> 1966 -> 1929 -> 1913.
>Coincidently, Regulus has been theorized to be a Reversed!Paulina.
>If we are talking about people who got reversed, spawned again and are somehow related with the era after the 9th storm, 2.1 has Tuesday, who Barbara thinks might be her missing co-worker who most likely got reversed: Bonette.
>Interestingly, in the next horror patch (3.1), we have another UTTU editor, Verity, looking for her missing co-worker. It is lated implied by Verity that she most likely got reversed and turned into Corvus.
>Brume and Kakania cannonically talked about the experience of losing their eras. (Which lead to the [fanart] that made me write all this).
>You can, technically, stretch the theory into wilder territory by claiming Célia is Reversed!Isabella, just because it would be funny to say that Matilda's involvement in the events of chapter 3 lead to Isabella and "The Ring" getting reversed in the 3rd storm, and then eventually to Kakania founding "The Circle". Absolute crackpot stuff, but in the realm of possible.
Ok ok sp adding to that cause I'm a sucker for theorycrafting. Kakania is the only person we know of for whom the original Hoffman knot worked. This begs the question, is there a relationship between Hoffman susceptibility and returned people? For example a link to Manus' promised lost era.
Personally, I don't think so. Not because it's not possible, but because it was hinted that the materials in the broch Isolde gave her acted as an amplifier for the knot's effect which, both lorewise and narratively, is as beautiful as it is devastating.

That one comic where Sotheby and Aleph interact is so funny to me because one of Borges' crushes sold the original manuscript of The Aleph to Sotheby's for almost 26k and Borges (who was still very much alive then) told her "if i were a gentleman, i would go to the bathroom and shoot myself".
"the monster is not a monster they just have issues and trauma x the princess knows martial arts and is also half monster" what i'm trying to say is Aima x Rubuska is Shrek x Fiona coded
Does anyone in the limbussy fandom has that one edit of Pumbaa as Canto VII Don Quixote? Made because Pumbaa's voice actor Ernie Sabella also was on Broadway's Man of La Mancha?
Moldir and Lopera's relationship is great fuel for fics because you have a woman in her mid twenties with "i need to keep this (?) family together even if it means bottling up my feelings and make me afraid of speak my mind because I don't want conflict" disorder and a 15 years old girl with SEVERE trust issues and trauma that is always one situation away from acting like a 40 years old man who thought the marriage would last forever and an 8 years old who just got his favorite animal cracker stolen.
Here's an example:
>Moldir: Look, I want to talk this out but you are not making it any easier.
>Lopera, eyes red, clutched in a one person couch too big for her: ...it was EASIER when you LOVED me! *storms out of the room to cry in her bedroom*
I love how Charon and Sentinel's stories bring up the subject of "impotence" when exposed to the horrors of war. The two extremes, to be precise. Charon can't do absolutely anything to stop it. He is a dead man among the living, the one who clean the debris and sweep the ashes after the fire. Sentinel, on the other hand, was exposed to several situations where she could make a difference. And she took them. Most of, if not ALL of them.
Is never about being right nor even morally correct. Is about wanting the war to end.
When you are exposed to cruelty, you don't care about what's right or wrong. You just want it to end. And if you are strong enough, maybe do your best to leave some good after.
Charon is merely a concept inside a dead man's body. He is every soldier who couldn't come back home, a mere prayer for the loss of human life. It can't bring them back, but it can offer solace. He is chained to a futile endeavour from every practical point of view but a much needed one from a human point of view.
Sentinel's heavily catholic perspective is VERY important to understand her actions. Not as an explanation but as a way to build a frame from which we can understand her motivations: The strong sense of duty, the need to help the weak, the urge to punish sinners, the constant self judgement over her own actions, the figure of a "demon" that has been associated with her lineage for ages, the seeking of solace in female figures she deems as worthy of love and admiration (Agnes, Marsha), how her wish to pursuit happiness after the war in no way means she would ever justify how much people she killed, but is rather an act of defiance against those who innitiated the war and most likely would never face any repercution about it, etc.
This is just the tip of a far more complex analysis, but one I encourage anyone to at least try to engage with, even a little.
