Now that I'm diving into the Amphoreus lore, I realized that I might have accidentally predicted some of Cyrene's traits when I created an Elysia "expy" oc last year,,,

If ya there, coming to ya as the "Outis Document" person

So, sweepers happened. Stuff dropped, funny worms mentioned in Outis Uptie.

And Hong Lu canto on the horizon.

What are your views on the situation?

I'll add that the reason I'm here is Welvader's video of him summarizing the mammoth of a book Dream of the Red Chamber is and dropping his own theories after reading it, and I'm just... seeing things

Notably, near the end of the books a certain forced marriage is arranged. With Hong Lu being the one being tricked.

Aligning that with the Oddysey, it could imply Calypso's island part will be referenced

But where does the Sun Cattle Island stuff fit into this if at all. Like I can kinda see it, somewhere midway in the books The Family overspends on celebrations and stuff, shit goes down, desperation to amend things. Align that with Oddysey and the crew being stranded and running out of food, being coerced into hurting the cattle.

Will we just... Do 2 in one, early canto being one thing later canto being another? A skip or diversion of some kind? Hell what would it leave for Ryoshu, as the whole "trial of the gods - Meursault" line up would be next?

Well that's why I even come here, I imagine you could make better heads and tails of this.

Hi! I'm still here! o/ Thank you so much for the questions and inputs. I've been thinking a lot after reading the Nocturnal Sweeping intervallo, so don't mind me rambling a bit about my personal theories about what could go on for the next cantos. First I will start by saying that my take on Hong lu's Canto hasn't changed much from the document and that we'll see Scylla's part of the Odyssey play out in some way. But my interpretation changed a bit on how it can play out.

When you say marriage and trickery, it reminds me a bit on Scylla's story in Greek mythology. She wasn't always a 6-headed beast, and used to be a beautiful naiad, who caught the eyes of poseidon himself and because of Amphitrite jealousy, was transformed into a monster by poisoning the water she would bathe. The man couldn't be with the lover because of her original state and sanity basically "dying". Note that Poseidon and Amphitrite have a known relationship in mythology, her being known as the consort with the queen of the seas title, and Poseidon is famously known to be courting plenty of people, just like Zeus. You can find other versions of her origin where it changes Poseidon and Amphitrite to Glaucus and Circe, but the narrative stays the same. Now, with that said. Next in line would be the Sun Cattle Island, and I'm pretty sure we'll get it as an intervallo that will reference it, if my theory is correct, opening doors to lay down a base for future Cantos, being the most obvious one Meursault. Then, Calipso's island would become part of Ryoshu's Canto. We can get some parallels with "Hell screen" when we realize how Yoshihide's daughter, his sole family whom he loves and spoils, is basically being held in captivity by the Lord of Horikawa as he works on the commission. Using the Odyssey we can also try to predict another intervallo here related to Charybdis. Maybe we'll get something about the Anamnaworm mentioned in Outis' uptie? This is a stretch but By the end, we'll get Meursault with the last god trial that would help Odysseus go back home to Ithaca, so we can get Outis arriving at her destination on her canto.
