#red emperor

[chaos-of-the-abyss]

i go absolutely completely totally just a little bit insane when i think about tearza and the red emperor. him building a statue in her honor despite it all. his disbelief and devastation and rage and grief when he realizes what she did to herself, just like nezha's disbelief and devastation and rage and grief when he realizes what rin did to herself. history moves in vicious circles

Okay, so I was reading up on Chinese mythology here and found something amazing.

Way, WAAAAAAY back in the day there were 5 emperors, the Yellow Emperor, the Red Emperor, the Green Emperor, the Black Emperor, and the White Emperor who were really important to the foundations of the world and stuff. Some people may know the Yellow Emperor as the first emperor of China, but I'm here to talk about his half-brother the Red Emperor, or the Fiery Emperor. He's described as having "the head of an ox and the body of a human being" and is known for having "taught mankind how to control and make constructive use of fire through forging."

Now, who do we know from LMK that's associated with oxen/BULLS and FIRE? The Demon Bull Family! Specifically DBK and Red Son. Now, I have not found ANY evidence to support the idea that DBK and the Red Emperor have ANY connection, BUT I do think it is a really cool idea that maybe DBK is descended from the Red Emperor somehow and that's how Red Son ended up inheriting really strong fire powers: being the descendent of the primordial god of fire will do that to you. Red Son could also be the reincarnation of the Red Emperor or something, and the Samadhi Fire was a power from his last life that he USED to have control over but once he got reborn into a little baby body went COMPLETELY haywire.

Also, as one last bit of irony, due to being an agricultural diety and helping the common folk improve their lives through better farming practices, the Red Emperor gained the epithet "The Divine Peasant." It's just too perfect, I had to share

BTW, the book is available at Barnes & Noble
