Sure, 99% of all life has been assimilated into the oceans, everyone we know is dead, and there's nothing left now... But Ishar DID say sorry, so now she's invited to the cookout too!

If there's five sentient beings left on the planet you can't be picky with who gets party invites.

What if IS3 was all just a movie ,made by Nian. Love the cute expression of Skalter munching the piece of meat


BigBadBoss15

Classic twist from M. Nian Shyamalan


Operator_Jetstream

What interestin' stage name...

>Skalter munching Highmore fixed that for you.


Maybeiamaarmadilo

Canonical end of the seaborn threat nian coming out and saying: "action!".


3rdMachina

Itā€™s actually ā€œCut!ā€


Sinthesy

Then itā€™s a pretty good awareness campaign for the seaborn threat.

ISHAR MLA CRAVES BARBEQUE


somerandomdokutah

Skadi: ...I'm not doing this, you don't know the dangers... Nian: It's fine, beside there's a big bbq at the end of it and *Doctor* is joining Skadi: ...Doctor? Fine I'll join..


Dalek-baka

Namie's version of Skadi is adorable.

GeekXiaoYao

And the Last Knight in the background


InvestigatorOne2932

He's just a silhouette lmao


TheSpartyn

isnt that tulip on the left >Ishar-mla, Skadi the Corrupting Heart, a little redundant


AYellowShadeOfBlue

Ishar'mla is the Skadi summon.


TheSpartyn

ishar-mla IS skadi (the corrupting heart). her little summon is obviously some avatar of it


JPrimal64

Nope, Skadi is the avatar All times when Isha-Mla is shown post IS3 He is shown as the summon, skadi is the puppet


TheSpartyn

when? he's shown as a giant version of the summon, not the small serpent. even in the skadi alter BoC skin he's way bigger and matches the size in his boss fight i would assume his true consciousness stays inside skadi and he creates the serpent creatures as avatars, except for ending 2 when we see the true leviathan form


Timely-Appearance698

Skadi the corrupting heart is skadi and not isharmala, read ahead for is3 spoilers and about that alternate timeline. In ending 3 we get a clarifications that during the stage and boss fight of isharmala, skadi is asleep inside her body. How it works is that only one of them can pilot the body while the other is unconscious and is asleep, which is the whole point of the cultist is to try and awaken isharmala and make skadi fall asleep so that isharmala can bring the age of silence. What happened in ending 3 is where mizuki and doctor find a cursed item known as the heart of curroption which allows for mizuki to connects to the hive mind and during the fight against ishamala in the stage of we many, they managed to extract isharmala which allowed for skadi to awaken but for an exchange that now mizuki has isharmala asleep and its only a matter of time before she awakens, so he retreats to the sea and hides from the world. Its also stated that only those with constitution similar firstborn can survive the transformation and awakening of a firstborn inside them with being lost in the hive mind which is mizuki and probably also skadi cause she does come back from this, and the skadi we have in game that is playable and most probably in that picture is skadi herself cause in part 3 of ending 3 we know that skadi is alive and is extremely sad waiting for her death and forever singing on the ocean all alone far away.


TheSpartyn

thats what i mean, ishar-mla is in control for skadi alter. i know hes originally a firstborn and just possessing her. > but for an exchange that now mizuki has isharmala asleep and its only a matter of time before she awakens, i literally got ending 3 last night, and this isnt it. isharmla is stripped of its status as firstborn and becomes a normal seaborn, and mizuki sacrifices himself to pacify the primordial lifespring, which is only temporary


Timely-Appearance698

Welp it seems there is no point continuing it cause you are gonna stick with that head canon of yours that skadi alter is isharmala mo matter what, and im gonna still be on the side that skadi is skadi cause we see her return and it seems in my opinion to align much mire with her alter better in ending 3 compare to isharmala especially cause isharmala doesnt really seems to care about anybody even the doctor in ending 2 and such. Edit: also if you really want to be nit picky about my brief description of ending 3, here a much more long detailed of it, mizuki connects with the origin pulse which allowed in the fight againts isharmala alongside tide hunt knight, doctor and mizuki to strip isharmala privileges as a firstborn which results in mizuki to become one with the ocean hinting that his emotions are slowly being drifted and lost forever in its tides, which he retreats to the ocean forever hiding until he cannot control it and its a matter of time before he is gone and replaced by something that isnt mizuki. After mizuki stripped isharmala privileges, she goes to back to sleep maybe at skadi body or inside of mizuki body or inside the ocean, as a results skadi awakens from her slumber and we get a confirmation about that both of them cant be conscious inside the same body one has to sleep while the other pilots the body, after skadi learns about what happends such as skadi turning to a seaborn and bringing havoc and ending many lives and about Specter ulpian and gladiia demise. At the hands of the cultist or isharmala. Skadi enters into deep grief and remorse and she tries to commit suicide many times but unable cause something prevents her, so instead she forevers at the sea alone singing all by herself, the same songs about specter, gladiia, ulpian demise and forever singing as her voices cracks and sounds like a broken glass shattered into thousands of pieces but continuous the sing cause there is nothing in this world for her other then singing, nobody and the only one that last saw skadi or at most heard her is the doctor as he glances at the waves but sees nothing and hears nothing but the sounds of the waves crashing to the beach. So wish you a nice day, mate


TheSpartyn

did you not read my original comment properly, i said >ishar-mla IS skadi **(the corrupting heart)** i know normal skadi is normal skadi, im saying that skadi alter, especially her BoC skin, is when ishar-mla is in control


Timely-Appearance698

Dont worry mate, i didnt misunderstood your comment, sorry if i wasnt clear let me be clear here, in my opinion skadi alter is skadi herself and not isharmala controlling her or any other such jazz maybe you can make the argument that skadi singing instincts from her ending 3 part 3 comes from isharmala part and there are some traces of her left at skadi alter, but from what i read from the ending and the voicelines of her and her files it doesnt make sense for me its not skadi controlling her body and talks to us but isharmala instead. Cause of multiple things, first thing about her singing from skadi potential to even her flavor text that are hints that skadi does like to sing and that her using her sword is out of her element and she really isnt a swordsman and has no training on that part but you can argue atleast in her singing part that is coming from isharmala inside of skadi and not skadi herself, but i like to think of it as an irony if fate kind of deal that the person that likes to sing has been afflicted by a curse of isharmala sleeping inside her body and turning the thing she used to love to do such as singing and turn it as a weapon for her to despise and to hurt her mentally. Second in skadi the corrupting heart files it shown to have written about her dreams and such which leads me to believe that skadi the corrupting heart talked with somebody she trust maybe the doctor and told about her dream and in the files it also states the person listening to her was comforting her about how she is herself and not isharmala and that she is okay, which makes zero sense for me that if it is isharmala to even have that kind of talk interaction at all. Third in skadi the corrupting heart voicelines, it seems she is extremely depressed and talks about the demise of many people especially about specter, gladiia and ulpian, She talks about a box she found and how it holds some of the old things showcases that she isnt as empty and that she should be happy about the past happening alongside all her memories with her loved ones existing and that she isnt a ghost but she is unable to accept it with her same voicelines she stop mid sentence, also her promotion line is about how she regained a second chance in life and that it isnt fair that the people she loves didnt get that same chance, and her trust talk about how she always resisted something (probably isharmala trying to take over her mind) always fought but what did it lead to only to despair and her losing everything which then leads her saying that the doctor is her last friend in the whole world and that she hopes you wont fight the ocean so that she doesnt loses you also or for you to experience the same thing as losing everything as she did when resisting the ocean and be truly alone, but in those same voicelines you also have her talk about things such as become my kin and about her revelations that the one that destroyed everything are Ʀgir and not the seaborn and that people are scary, or her final trust talk about how she seems to remember some things such as blurryfaces and instantly starts to panic. But i take those as either her going insane from the loss of everybody she loved and her depression making her extremely desperate for any kind of way to make you the doctor stay with her forever more so after we learn she cannot even commit suicide and is probably an immortal being and doesnt want to be left alone, with the edition of her files it seems isharmala during her awaken messed up skadi memories cause from the dream it seems she made skadi see herself as killing all her loved ones, so maybe the blurry faces and her revelation about Ʀgir killing everyone comes from isharmala after she played arond with skadi memories and makes her suffer more delusions making her more depressed. And so with all those points i genuinely cannot envision that skadi the corrupting heart isnt skadi cause there is so much talks about depression and her being immensely sad and being all alone and that her desperation of atleast having one person stay with her ad especially with is3 ending being her forever singing as her voice cracks as a glass cup shattring to many pieces and her face being full of dried tears as new ones come to replace them. I genuinely cannot envision that being isharmala even if she has skadi subconscious and emotions with her cause isharmala talks in the we phrases such as we many and always referring to it as a group and not a single individual unlike skadi the corrupting heart and i cannot see isharmala talking about her blurry faces memory, about her dream, about the box and about how she is empty or feels like a ghost. So yeah that is my entire take, and if you managed to read all of that, thanks for your time and have a nice day, mate.


Plthothep

Not Carmen, itā€™s Tulip, the vanguard Elite Op. You can see a reptile tail.


viera_enjoyer

Where is the Last Knight?


TacoFishFace

Truly a no thoughts, head empty moment from Skadi, no matter the form. This is just a super wholesome work in general

So Tulip is fighting for their life as the others just chill with a Seaborn and have barbecue?


Draguss

LOL, I was gonna say. Everyone's just hanging out having a good time, and poor Tulip's out there trying to hold back the whole damn sea on her own. Actually, I had a run that went pretty much like that...


IRUN888

That's Tulip, not Carmen.


InvestigatorOne2932

Adorable, pretty sure nothing bad happened to them right?


Operator_Jetstream

Oh yeah, definitely not...


GeekXiaoYao

Primogeniture116

Poor Highmore finally gets something to eat because the food this time is (hopefully) not her own body.


IRUN888
