Are Yhwach and his Lichtreich in human history books?

After Yhwach discovered a far more potent method of bestowing his soul—by imbuing a "letter" that shared his essence more deeply and with greater power—he founded a Quincy empire known as the *Lichtreich*. He built this empire over the two centuries following his birth, conquering the "northern territories" of the human world—an area that appears to be Europe, and most likely Germany, given the Quincy aesthetic and the fact that many of their techniques are named in German.

So, knowing that Yhwach essentially built an empire in Europe within the human realm...

Do you think Yhwach and the Quincy appear in human history books?

Illyana Rasputin + Ichigo Kurosaki + = ???

What would this amalgam be like? What would its name, powers, or backstory be?

Magik must be the basis for the amalgam, so it will definitely be female.

How would you rewrite the plot of Season 4B?

You are given the opportunity to rewrite the plot of Season 4B, subject to the following rules:

  1. You cannot remove or add characters; you must use the same characters who appeared in the season or characters who appeared in previous seasons.
  2. You can alter the characters' fates, making them different from the canon.
  3. You can add any storyline you wish involving any character.
  4. You must assume the show will be a success, so the storylines need to be capable of connecting to events in a future season.

With these rules in mind, I challenge you to rewrite the season however you like.

P.S.: Just like seasons 3, 5, and 6, it’s odd that Season 4 wasn't split up; so, it has also been divided into A and B, each with its own storyline. Enjoy!

How Daenerys can maintain a standing army?

This is a question I asked myself recently: considering the Unsullied, the Stormcrows, and the entire army of freedmen she gathered, I realized that Daenerys possesses a standing army—since, with the possible exception of the freedmen, the Stormcrows and the Unsullied remain enlisted full-time.

Knowing that, I’m left wondering: how is Daenerys able to maintain her army, given that a medieval economy supposedly couldn't support standing armies?

How can Scáthach still be alive?

This is a question that goes beyond how someone so old can still be alive. I know it's because of her magical powers.

But following the rule of the Supremes (according to Ryan Murphy, Scáthach is the original Supreme, centuries before the Salem witches), there can only be one per generation. Yet, despite the fact that there is already a Supreme in the present and that many Supremes have come and gone, Scáthach's power doesn't seem to have weakened.

So how could Scáthach still be alive if there can only be one Supreme?

Reds vs Blues: How would the Dance of the Dragons change?

In a timeline where Viserys marries Laena Velaryon and has children with her,

Rhaenyra, to strengthen her claim, follows Alicent's advice and marries Ormund Hightower. They have five brown-haired children (none are bastards; all are Ormund's).

Why does everyone seem to consider Chandler a loser when in reality he is the most successful of the 6 friends?

https://preview.redd.it/ixnyo3rrozih1.png?width=711&format=png&auto=webp&s=7c7f5c07e3810229354b5ac3b5441ede304cf016

Throughout much, if not all, of the series, there's a recurring joke or idea that the group as a whole seems to think Chandler is a loser, constantly belittling him and making passive-aggressive comments about him for no apparent reason. However, if you watch the show, nothing suggests he's a loser.

He's the most financially successful of the group, having practically supported Joe without issue for much of the series. Despite hating his job and being quite lazy, he's proven to be very capable, receiving several promotions (even managing an office in Tulsa). When he moves into advertising, he's good enough to jump several rungs on the career ladder.

It's frequently mentioned that he's terrible with women, but while he has commitment issues that prevent his relationships from lasting long, he has no trouble attracting women, as shown in the early seasons where he successfully uses humor to smooth talk and charm women effortlessly.

He's shown he can manipulate the group, like when he turns them against each other by pointing out all their annoying flaws, causing them to completely forget about their cigarettes while they argue amongst themselves.

So why do they consider Chandler a loser?

You have the opportunity to rewrite the first season: Murder House

A remake of the first 12 seasons of American Horror Story is being made, and you've been given the opportunity to write the entire first season, Murder House, under the following rules:

  1. The premise must be the same: a haunted house.

  2. You cannot eliminate characters. You can add original characters or characters from future seasons, but you cannot eliminate existing characters.

  3. You can make allusions to future events or locations within the universe, but you can't be too specific. For example, you can mention things like the Redwood Field massacre or the Hotel Cortes, but you can't mention information that isn't known within the universe, such as Brook's innocence or that the Hotel Cortes was built as a death trap.

Knowing this, how would you write Murder House?

Why were the aliens so interested in Kit Walker?

I'm watching the series for the first time and I just finished season 2, but it was never explained why the aliens were so interested in Kit Walker, to the point of abducting two women simply because they were pregnant with his children.

What exactly attracted the aliens to him and made them take him when he was on the verge of death?

Was Ousen going to let Shin die in order to win?

In the final chapter, it's implied that Youka had already prepared his agents to begin shouting victory cries acclaiming RiBoku as king. So, if Youka was already prepared for RiBoku's victory in the Siege of Kantan, does that mean Ousen's strategy for the final victory in the war included sacrificing Rishin and his army?

From what I can understand and deduce, Ousen's plan to defeat RiBoku without facing him on the battlefield would be to exploit his popularity against him to bring his dispute with the king of Zhao to a critical point. To that end, he planned to give RiBoku a crushing and resounding victory. And what victory could be greater than successfully defending the capital from a siege by an enemy army, an army whose general is famous for assassinating one of the Three Great Heavens of Zhao?

So, even though it might sound like I'm an Ousen fan, this could mean that Ousen managed to foresee RiBoku's strategy and how he would have prepared a trap for Rishin when he advanced to attack the capital.

The thing is, it's unlikely that Ousen actually thought Shin would escape RiBoku's trap. So, did Ousen plan to sacrifice Shin and his army?

Yan's territory is mostly mountains?

Seeing that Yan's armies shown so far are entirely composed of mountain clans, and that Ordo seems able to conquer more clans to replenish his force even after losing his 8,000-strong power base, coupled with the fact that Yan strongest elite troops appear to be the Quanrong, makes me wonder:

Is Yan's territory mostly or entirely composed of mountains?

The fake Morena Prudo stole the body of the original Morena Prudo thanks to Contagion

This is a crazy theory that occurred to me while watching a video about Kakin's empire.

What if the current Morena Prudo is actually the original Morena Prudo, but only in body, and the fake Morena Prudo is the one controlling the body?

This is all based on one concept:

Morena's own ability, "Contagion," which allows her to grant Nen abilities to others by kissing them. This creates a complex leveling system where her initiates can gain more power by killing people with designated point values. The thing is, due to the very nature of the ability, it's unknown if she herself created Contagion because her ability can be replicated in someone infected by her under certain conditions (a sufficiently high level), and she herself has 45 levels when she was first introduced, despite being the primary user of the ability. This means that she, rather than being the true creator of the ability, is another "player" who was infected. This would explain how, despite having been, in her own words, only used as "meat" within the Heil-ly family, she can use Nen like an expert, even though she shouldn't have been trained.

The original creator is Morena Prudo, the king's illegitimate daughter, who created the ability and passed it on to the fake Morena. This fake Morena then created a Nen ability that allows her to "swap" bodies with the original Morena Prudo.

This is why no one in the Heil-ly mafia ever suspected that Morena was a fake and was able to carry out the swap. This Morena exchanged souls with the original Morena and kept the body and the "Contagion" ability. Her final plan to cause the "end of the world" is to make another swap with the winner of the succession war, thus becoming the king of Kakin and making everyone kill each other.

Moat cailin is too important to be given to a cadet branch

As many know, Moat Cailin is the fortress considered the gateway to the North, guarding the only land route.

The thing is, in most fanfics, whether it's Ned or Jon, it seems the best fortress to give them would be Moat Cailin. However, Moat Cailin is far too important to be outside the direct control of the Starks. It's the gateway to the North, and giving it to any other house, even a cadet branch of the Starks themselves, is too risky in the long run.

This could lead to the formation of a new House Frey or, as with the Greystark branch, a rebellion.

Therefore, Moat Cailin, simply because of its importance, would never be chosen to form a cadet branch.

What is the dark aura that surrounds the (f)Woble?

First of all, to clarify, (f)Woble means false Woble, the nephew of Queen Oito who was used as a body double for the real Woble.

Now, as many who are up to date with the manga know, in chapter 412 it is revealed that Queen Oito performed a baby swap between the real Woble and her nephew, (f)Woble. But before the exchange, Woble first performed the ritual of the vessel to obtain a guardian beast.

The thing is, now we know that since the (f)Woble on the ship didn't perform the ritual and doesn't have a guardian beast, it remains unclear what exactly the mysterious black aura that surrounded him on the first day was.

Initially, it was thought to be just Woble's guardian beast, but (f)Woble doesn't have any guardian beast, which leaves the question of what exactly the aura that surrounded (f)Woble was.

Did Benjamin take his son with him to the black whale?

If you're up to date with the manga, you'll know that Benjamin has recently been infected with a deadly virus and now has less than 10 hours to win the War of Succession by establishing martial law and legally legitimizing his own bastard son as his heir. This will ensure they ascend directly to the throne upon his death, while he plans to use Furykov's ability to merge with his guardian beast and become a guardian deity to watch over Kakin.

The thing is, as I understand the rules of the current War of Succession, everyone who wants to claim the throne should have boarded the Black Whale. So, did Benjamin bring his son with him?

Are there any benefits to being a Royal Guard?

Does being a Royal Guard offer any benefits beyond the prestige of belonging to the institution? I haven't really seen any mention of advantages to being part of the group, as they seem to be just a much smaller version of the Night's Watch. In fact, Visenya created the Royal Guard based on the Night's Watch and their vows.

If we compare them to other historical royal guards like the Praetorian Guard, there's a clear difference.

The Praetorian Guard had many clear advantages. Their mandatory military service was shorter, 12 years with the Praetorians instead of 16 years in the legions. Their salary was three to six times higher than that of a legionary, increased by the donativum bonus, granted by each new emperor, which was equivalent to several years' salary and was often repeated for important imperial events or those affecting the imperial family: birthdays, births, and marriages.

So, besides prestige and living in the Red Keep, does the Royal Guard offer any benefits to its members?

In what areas should the different armies of the kingdoms excel compared to the others?

If you had to give each army of the Warring States something that would make them superior to the others, what would it be? For me, it would be like this:

Qin with weapons like crossbows

Zhao with superior cavalry thanks to their constant battles with the Quanrong

Han being a poison specialist

Chu with the best weapons and armor thanks to their metallurgy

Yan with an army composed entirely of mountain clans

Wei with superior engineering, capable of building enormous and complex structures

I'm still not sure what Qi would excel at
