I’m a Merlin wizard who experiences time backwards, and I blocked you because you sent me an angry message asking me why I blocked you.
What appears to be going on with ORV Mithra/Mitra/Mithras is that, before the story began, he hired Manu (clearly a lawyer) to represent him in a lawsuit against Christianity, won, and gained control of Jesus’s IP - which includes the username “Master of December 25th” and the “Myth-grade” status.
From a Doylist standpoint, something of this nature is necessary to avoid the implication that Yoo Joonghyuk might have - at some point - killed Jesus.
From a Watsonian standpoint, it’s really funny, because,
1) The Vedic Mitra’s most-famous myth is probably the one where he sees a hot lady and involuntarily ejaculates into a jar. He doesn’t have much going for him. Basically had no choice but to abuse copyright law.
2) Unlike Apollon’s, Surya’s username does not actually have the word “sun” in it. And Manu - who is generally considered to be Surya’s son - uses the words “the sun god” to describe Mithra. Did Manu help Mithra sue his own dad?
3) All of this raises another question: is the 《Vedas》 Nebula’s “Mithra” actually the Vedic Mitra? Or is he the Roman Mithras? Someone else? How many levels of identity theft is this guy on?
Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.2 currently freezes entirely when I open the System Reports window to look at the "Update to 22.3?" message. Can't even use xkill or System Monitor to kill the System Reports process.
Didn’t make it to the hardware store because Linux Mint and Selena Kim distracted me.

Does Athena have two usernames, or did someone else give Selena Kim the Aegis, or did Sing/Shong retcon Athena’s username later after deciding that she did not actually have a “conscience?”
Tell me to go to the hardware store

ORV Loki’s Trick (Speculative):
- List own eyeball for sale on Dokkaebi Bag for 1,000,000 coins.
- Give Anna Croft a donation of 500,000 coins from your own pocket.
- When Odin or Thor asks why you just did that, tell them to get off your turf, you saw her first, etc. (Anna obviously makes appropriate use of this opportunity.)
- The rest of Asgard is thus goaded into “outbidding” you in order to get her to sign a joint sponsorship deal. She now has more than enough to buy “Great Demon’s Eye.”
- Profit! (500,000 minus whatever the dokkaebi commission fee is.)
Another possibility is that Loki paid the entire million themself and made no direct profit. Aside from temporarily having Anna entirely to themself, this maneuver could have been valuable for money laundering purposes.
I have a severe allergy to Merch, and Swag.
Disposable $75 “smartring” with a 30-day warranty. Its only built-in function is “microphone.”
Did “eeny, meeny, miney, moe” originate from “mene, mene, tekel, upharsin”… Kids telling each other “your days are numbered”
Ow
In ORV no one is allowed to see the prophets’ stat screens because the skill that makes them “prophets” is just called “Can Read the Writing on the Wall”.
Will the pharmacy ever fill any of my prescriptions? Even the pharmacy does not know.
Can someone translate Cheok Jungyeong's article for English Wikipedia. Bonus if you add an "in popular culture/media" section that isn't just ORV (because Shingshong was definitely referencing something other than like 11th-century primary sources).
Thank you to Wikipedia user CountHacker.
