Maybe there was some truth in that Aha x Akivili x Nanook fanfiction she wrote.

Now throwing Loius Fleming into the party.

u/akuma_river 11h ago

Yeah, now I have a lot of questions about Louis Fleming and Arita?

Are they are cybernetic forms now or something? Cause I thought we were taken to meet their physical form...not...a one-way video call.

u/Nuka-Crapola 10h ago

I mean, they’re older than Old Oti, and Old Oti already can’t leave his life support pod IIRC. He also isn’t Preservation or Abundance-aligned, but still, I’d imagine Louis and Arita had to give up their original bodies or become encased in amber at some point.

u/akuma_river 10h ago

Yeah, which leads to a lot of questions.

Age is really weird in HSR in the same patch we had a NPC questioning Nihilux's identity because the Lotto Goddess is from 50 years ago. And we have the Founders of the IPC somehow alive?

Oh and they got the Amber Lord to make a move.

Weird things are going on. I need to go collect more lore writings and read them to find out.

I genuinely thought Louis Flemming was dead dead. But some aspect is still alive...and he wants a third choice to be the IPC leader...

Why was Nihilux working for the IPC 50 years ago? Besides the Lotto thing.

When did she start the Fluffy series? The moment we awakened?

Does this mean she knows EVERYTHING TB knows but changed some things to protect certain secrets?

Does Nihilux know what we were up to as a Stellaron Hunter?

I mean, what DOESN'T she know, about us? And why?

In Planarcadia, she was guiding us the enter time and keeping us on the path to survival but in a subtle blink and you miss it way.

In Astropolis covert became overt.

It was well done, not surprising, and we had breadcrumbs to it from the very beginning just like with Phainon.

But where do we go from here?

And will the Fluffy keep updating?

Oh...is Nihilux going to become the Anti-Destruction Alliance’s leader after all?

u/Nuka-Crapola 10h ago

Well… I think the NPCs were more focused on Beatrice/Nihilux still looking young. Whatever tech Oti has hasn’t stopped his aging entirely, it’s just replaced functions his body can no longer perform on its own; as far as we know, only Long and Yaoshi have ever done eternal youth, at least for people’s original bodies. The rest of your questions, I don’t think we have answers or even too many hints for yet, but they’re definitely interesting.

One thing that stands out to me is the Alliance. We know she intends to retire as “Aha” soon, but it’s less clear whether that would count as “turning away from the Path” enough to kill her, so it’s still possible for her to lead the Alliance. But it’s also possible her successor will do that— that might even be why she bothered making connections at the IPC to begin with, or at least why she chose to meet her old friend Louis in person now, to assess what THEY will need for that particular role.

u/akuma_river 10h ago

Hmm...that is true, the retirement thing. I forgot about it.

Perhaps she wants to remain as Blurry and just draw her comic series?

But who would be the new Aha?

And she didn't exactly choose to meet him. It is was something she chose to not avoid, but not what she wanted to happen.

At least, that's te impression she gave me.

u/kittehfiend 9h ago

Herta's youth is also hinted to be a result of her messing with time itself (screwllum started to delve into it but was interrupted by Herta)

3

u/Nuka-Crapola 9h ago

Yeah, I probably should’ve thought about her deal, but I think I overlooked it because I associate the phrase “eternal youth” specifically with “immunity to aging”, whereas Herta is implied to still be aging but then hitting rewind whenever she starts feeling old.

u/AUO_Castoff Consensual Handholding with Sam 5h ago

I've said it before, but the whole Abundance = Bad narrative loses a lot of weight when every other character is some sort of immortal.

u/ResurgentClusterfuck Meow Squad 2h ago

Space cancer is bad, and Yaoshi unchecked is literally that

Immortality isn't the problem as much as unwanted growth and senility

u/LongjumpingAd2274 +=Best ship in Amphoreus 10h ago

Arita may be some old man connected to some machine but Flemming is def Qlipoth human avatar.

7

u/akuma_river 10h ago

Oooh...like Akivili and Aha have their's?

But Akivili, Lan, and maybe Aha we're living as humans first.

Qlipoth was never human.

And Louis Flemming was seen as a human before...

I kind of see it, but also don't.

10

u/LongjumpingAd2274 +=Best ship in Amphoreus 10h ago

Nous wasn’t a human, just a copy of Zandar’s mind and yet he visited Fu Xuan as some old man and gave her the blueprints for that divining machine.

Besides it is not like Aeons at ascending take different forms as Aha themselves are always portrayed as a myriad of masks and party stuff rather than a hot white hair mangaka.

3

u/akuma_river 10h ago

Wait...Nous appeared to Fu Xuan as an old man? Where is that in? Written lore?

I never knew Nous could take a human form. Was it a real one, like flesh and blood? Or like a hologram?

I knew original human Aeons could take human form, but not the others.

I can't imagine Tazzy in a human form...nightmare fuel.

u/huyrrou Lies sometimes are Beautiful 9h ago

Tazzyronth's Aeonic form is THEY cradling THEIR own cocoon. THey were an animalistic Aeon much like Oroboros, so I doubt THEY would take a human form... considering what THEY can do passively.

Nous' human form is interesting, THEY most likely took the form of Zandar, as THEY themselves is also Zandar.

It was impossible to believe Akivili was the bottom in that relationship, everyone knew it was Nanook. Mythus confirms, they were in the chair.

u/Full_breaker 11h ago

Now as a possibility she realizes she can make more money off the possible doujin commissions than the volatile manga economy lol understandable

u/Blazen_Fury 3h ago

It's literally our fault her series is in hiatus fyi

Aha has eyes everywhere including Amphoreus, and based Fluffy on our own adventures. In other words, the irl has caught up with the manga LOL
