Trying to learn to draw without lineart. And 300 layers. I used a kpop card for this one but I've discovered that the appeal of kpop cards is primarily the idol and not the Funness so if anyone has any fun references--I'm just saying, my ask box is open,,,

Hand Jumper Theories: Ereba as (Arabia / Erebus) / Naj and The Seven Swords

Now that Hand Jumper episode 110 is out I can finally go over some theories freely without spoiler warnings. Now let's going over Ereba in Hand Jumper. Where could it be, and what does it mean? As well as Naj who was pierced by seven swords. I went through this in my myth doc, but this is for those who have not read it. I will also touch upon some Gnosticism.

EREBA: WHERE THE GODLING WAS EXECUTED

The godling was executed in a location named "EREBA." This name appears to be a deliberate portmanteau serving dual purposes. We already know geographic renaming is part of Hand Jumpers worldbuilding.

EREBA as Arabia

The word 'Naj' is Egyptian Arabic for "settlement" or "hamlet." Nag Hammadi the town in Upper Egypt literally means "Settlement of Hammadi." The root naj in Arabic carries meanings tied to journeying, reaching safety, and arriving at a destination. The related word 'najat' means deliverance, salvation, or rescue.

NAJ AND THE SEVEN SWORDS

Now if you want to dive even deeper… The panel that shows Naj impaled, it shows they are impaled by seven swords. The number seven is rich in mythological symbolism. Seven days of creation. Seven deadly sins. Seven Gates of the Underworld (Inanna's descent), The Seven Archangels, The Seven Sleepers of Ephesus, The Seven seals in the Book of Revelation, "Sevenfold vengeance" which originates from Genesis 4:15 in the Bible, where God proclaims that anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over. Our Lady of Seven Sorrows - the Mater Dolorosa. In Catholic tradition, the Virgin Mary is literally depicted with seven swords piercing her heart. Each sword represents one of her seven sorrows: the prophecy of Simeon, the flight into Egypt, losing the child Jesus in the temple, meeting Jesus on the road to Calvary, the crucifixion, the removal of Jesus from the cross, and his burial. (Bottom Right Image) (Make of that what you will.) In Gnostic cosmology, specifically among the Archontics, Ophites, and Sethians, and in the Nag Hammadi texts, there are seven Archons. These are rulers, each tied to one of seven planetary spheres, who prevent souls from leaving the material realm. The Seven Cosmic Jailers.

And a little Gnostic info dump for anyone unfamiliar: In December 1945, an Arab peasant named Muhammad Ali al-Samman was digging for fertilizer near the town of Naj Hammadi in Upper Egypt. He hit a red earthenware jar almost a meter high. He hesitated to break it, worried a jinn might live inside, but hoping it might contain gold, he smashed it open and found thirteen papyrus books bound in leather. These turned out to be the Nag Hammadi library: fifty-two ancient Gnostic texts that had been sealed away around 400 CE to protect them from orthodox Christian destruction. Before this discovery, most of what we knew about Gnostic beliefs came from the people who hated them. Nag Hammadi gave us the actual source material.

(If anyone wants to read more about the Nag Hammadi texts, I'd recommend The Nag Hammadi Scriptures edited by Marvin Meyer or The Gnostic Gospels by Elaine Pagels. Yes, those are my actual books in the images. It's a long but rewarding read.)

Now if Ereba is actually Erebus: Erebus in Hesiod's Theogony is the primordial darkness born from Chaos, the void where Hypnos dwells. Hypnos is the primordial Greek God of Sleep, the son of Nyx (Night) and Erebus (Darkness), and the twin brother of Thanatos (Death). Erebus seems like the place Hypnos would be if executed, IF Naj was inspired by Hypnos. But I have more on that in my HJ Myth Doc if you're interested..

Hand Jumper

So FUCKINGGG MUCH , For taking your ass and run!!!!!!

bloody Hell!!!! these guys are dead meat I'm telling you, Who told you to instigate the sleeping Monster friend of a literal godling's champion ???

a wise person once said " have an ego only so big that you can live long " But nope my boy is going down with his humongus pride and taking my Sweets Min and Iseul with him.

Ah yes......idiot . ever heard of a calculated risk !!

I am reactions so wildly but tbh it'd be too boring if everything went according to plan, real humans are variables not constants , thus even with all the drama i wouldnt change a thing about the plot this arc has added a different level of depth to everyone
