Winter Solstice & Yule

The Winter Solstice for 2025 will occur on December 21 at 7:03 AM Why are there so many Holidays and Holy Days at this time of year? Why do so many of them, especially in the Northern Hemisphere, seem to emphasize light, especially light in contrast to the darkness? Likely this is because of the Winter Solstice. Stonehenge, a Celtic monument built for the Solstices, perhaps as much as 5000…

Brigitte Bardot on the set of Shalako

(Bill Ray. 1968?)

The secret of how the people of Atlantis could breath under water was revealed in the limited series issue Atlantis Chronicles 2, cover date April 1990. Britton has taken over keeping the chronicles. Issue also covers what caused the mutation of the mer-people and the fall and death of Shalako. The issue introduced Britton, Maia, and Thorne. They were created by Peter David and Esteban Maroto.

Something I wonder if was initially intended but never developed...

Atlantis Chronicles #2

So, when Shalako creates the dome around Tritonis, they are pretty clear about continually referring to it (and other abilities associated with it) as hard water. And I think OK maybe that's just how aquaman writers refer to this type of water, it doesn't have anything to do with mera?

But then, when Atlan is giving Atlanna (Arthur/Orin's mom) predictions about her son, he says this:

Atlantis Chronicles #7

So, was Mera initially supposed to have powers that were associated with the Dark Gods Shalako gained his powers from in Atlantis Chronicles, but David dropped the plot point? Was like... proto-xebel/re-imagined-dimension-aqua a place in the world of the dark gods or worshipers of such creatures???? We don't know b/c while these hints are here (shalako using hard water, which early comics define as something everyone in mera's dimension do, and then atlan referring to the woman arthur has a child with (and they both leave him) as from the world of the dark gods), David literally never does anything interesting with any of the female characters in his run aaaaaaaaaaa
