Visionary Fairies in Shrine latest chapter discussion
Suspicious person:
Spoiler: 2019 claims its first victim
rip (?) Luna, we hardly knew ye
Also guess who was off the mark, haha
Regarding the latest chapter (13), Spoiler: uh, I guess this sorta says there is some kind of relation between soul and lifeforce or something ?! Cuz I don't really get how else fairies, who are pretty much mainly lifeforce would end up into cherry stones, which are pretty much the final stage of souls, which are related with the afterlife. Pretty weird but ok I guess.
Going back to the Garden of the Sun obviously means more Eternity for next time, so I'm looking forward to see what's her take on this situation.
Spoiler: Anyway, for those who think that the next game might have something to do with Hell, in case it turns out to be true, then this chapter would justify why you'd still have to go through stage fairies while in Hell : meaning, a convenient reason for ZUN to still keep the fairies as Hell stage mobs instead of making sprites for new ones. If the Hell game happens anyway.

Spoiler: Fairies already exist in Hell, ZUN didn't need an excuse.
Spoiler: Anyway, if Piece is realy turning fairies into stone cherries like it appears, i think Hecatia wants to use them in the next Hell war she mentioned some chapters ago. Maybe the other denizens of Hell are weak to life force coming from the surface because there is no nature in Hell.

Oh yeah, somehow forgot that Piece came from down under and that there are the zombie cosplaying fairies. What I had in mind was the lack of fairies in the hellish part of Hell like in SA, where you get ghosts, orbs and ravens instead of seeing anymore fairies around stage 5 and 6. There was something that I had in mind but also slipped away as I wrote that.
If memory serves, Piece said something like Hell's environment being more related to the souls or something, hence her ability being more related to the mind. Spoiler: Hecatia planning to bring the fairies who got turned into cherry stones would seem weird to me if the crystallised fairies and the fairies that you can already find in Hell could do the same thing. I'd assume the Hell ones are more oriented towards the soul and stuff while the surface ones got lifeforce with them. It wouldn't make too much sense to bring additional fairies that in Hell for a specific purpose if the Hell fairies had the same abilities as the surface fairies and were able to do whatever the surface fairies might be able to do (ie : yada yada lifeforce).
Like, since the fairies are pretty much the embodiment of nature, it should make sense that the surface fairies who are more related to the lifeforce filled nature are more related to lifeforce and the Hell fairies who are in Hell more related to the mind and the soul, with the exemple of Clownpiece.
Maybe there's going to be some kind of "weaponization" of lifeforce in one way or another to give her an advantage in the power struggle that is taking place in Hell or something. Maybe whatever Hecatia is planning to do is going to be a repeat of what they did in LoLK when they introduced Fairies on the Moon, except this time for Hell, for whatever reason.
Spoiler: My previous point about the sprite usage is obviously wrong, but this is essentially the other thing that I sorta forgot to put aside from that ... Spoiler: Although to be fair, it has been a PRETTY long while since last ZUN introduced new sprites for the random mob enemies, and quite common now to find a way to put the fairies in :V
Lt Colonel Summers:
Spoiler: Clownpiece looked like she was silencing Luna for "knowing too much".
Since we all know Piece works for Hecatia, who essentially rules over Hell...
Some kind of government conspiracy?
EDIT: Silly me! Forgot about spoilers!
Lebon14:
And we have a new chapter. You know where to go.
Spoiler: Then, there was sunflowers. Then, it was the land of back-doors
