And lets not forget that there are other mythological beings that can kick a Banshee ass anytime, specially in Brazilian Mythology.

For example, Bradador, the brazilian equivalent of a Banshee, wich its name means "The Howler" or "The Screamer". Bradador is a spirit whose screams can make People shiver in fear and even kill them at close range. They are extremely violent spirits, and the only way to defeat them is if your name is Maria and you meet him 3 times and give him a blessing so he can rest in peace.

And Yes, you are right. Her concept of a Banshee comes from Sylvanas Windrunner.

One factor that I think is worth pointing out about Lily's mischaracterization of Gardevoir as some sort of "badass banshee" creature is that it's not just Gardevoir that is mischaracterized, but banshees too: Lily seems to be under the impression that banshees are these powerful female figures that go around striking fear into people's hearts with screams that outright deal physical damage and also they're way better and stronger and cooler than every other mythical monster or some shit when in actual Irish folklore (where banshees originate from), the scream of a banshee was merely heralding the impending death of someone in whichever family that particular banshee was a part of. So yeah, turns out that banshees aren't these awesomesauce epic ghostfairy warrior ladies that go around screaming to actively cause harm to anybody they cross, they're literally just preemptively mourning a family member.

Keep in mind that this mischaracterization of a well-known monster is coming from someone who claims that people aren't allowed to portray vampires and werewolves as anything other than evil aristocrats and predators respectively because that's what those creatures originally represented.

That's actually a very good point. I never thought about that.

But this is a classic case of Lily being a hypocrite and doing things she accuses others of doing.

For some reason, I have hunch her understanding of banshees come from games. I have nothing to prove this. It's just a speculation.

Now i get it why her fics are so bad

Lorch's Bad Structure List

I watched the vídeo (Had many breaks because there were points i was like angering myself much) and when they talked about "Making a history where Skara kills Hunter and joins Willow, Luz and Amity in a poly relationship" i was like

DONT PULL A SITH RESURGENCE ON HIM, LILY! THE OWL HOUSE DONT DESERVE THIS FATE!

Why is Syir so powerful anyway? Why is such an unstoppable, Uber OP Villain in a (supposed) slice of life comic? And is it even explained how Syir got so strong? But yeah, she probably would say that Syir can't get knocked out, for some unexplained reason. Which is such bad writing.

(Also my team would be a Kingambit, Tinkaton, Pyukumuku, Mimikyu, Scizor and: Slaking for Trace, or a Gliscor w/ poison heal for synchronize.)

Once she said she originally wanted Pokemadhouse to take a "Grimdark" turn with things like Syir not being uncommon, but she gave up on it.

A thing about her writing these op characters is that she hates when People try to find ways to Beat them, so she turns them almost invincible. Check Tale of Valkyrie for example: Ryder and the Val'kyrs were capable of destroying literal Multiverses alone and there was nothing People could do to stop them. Aliana in Sith resurgence is literally this beast of a Force User and no one is strong enough to stop her. Pokemadhouse i already said.

She loves power fantasy, her characters being the strongest and the fiercest. And mixed with bad writing of her, is a hazard.

Also very good team

my (admittedly self-indulgent) “true ending” scenario to madhouse starts with syir being defeated and taken into league custody away from diantha. how did this happen when syir is supposedly undefeatable? well, if lily is allowed to find a reason for bonnie to exist without any real repercussions within the story, the i say we can absolutely find a reason for diantha to be saved in rewrites/“what-if” scenarios

I think im having an ideia

Actually i had this ideia, but never managed to continue it

Maybe its time to continue my fic where my oc Bernard defeats Syir with his team.

So, lets go with part 2 of the resume of The Beniko Order in Sith resurgence

In the part before i talked about the origin of Beniko and their Curse, but now lets continue getting deeper on this star wars fanfic.

1-Darth Alora and The Clone Wars

Remembering what i said before about the Curse of the Force hating on Beniko clan, life was not easy for them, because their numbers were already small, but having the Force attempting to ruin your life all the time is basically a herculean task. The Beniko clan however managed to survive until the events of the prequel era, where we can talk about 2 sith that are referenced in the fic but were given more info outside of it.

The first one is Darth Safik, the greatgrandmother of Aliana, who was the Master and adoptive Mother of Darth Alora, who was Aliana's Grandmother. Safik and Alora lived normal lives, however Safik was killed by a Bounty Hunter, leaving Alora alone. The bounty Hunter is never specified or talked about by Lily, but knowing that she dislikes Mandalorians, i headcanon it was either Jango Fett, Cad Bane or Durge.

Mostly Jango because of personal spite

After that, Alora wanders around during the Clone Wars but eventually she went after the jedi after discovering Darth Sidious was a Sith Lord. However, they dismissed her and didnt cared about her warnings. So one day she invaded the Jedi Temple and copied at least 80% of all their archives. Alora then went hiding and decided to watch the Clone wars ending from afar, without getting involved. However, she eventually got found by Palpatine, who sent Darth Vader after her. After a long fight, Alora got killed by Vader, leaving behind her apprentice Darth Mayrik, also known as Tahleea Beniko.

Who swear revenge on Vader.

2-Darth Mayrik and the New Republic

After training by herself for years, Tahleea go after Vader and fights against him, almost winning until Starkiller (Yes, the events of Force Unleashed games are slightly canon in this fanfic, but lily never specified HOW MANY because in future Galen Marek becomes a senator who is on Aliana side) stopped her and made her retreat, eventually this failure making her give up on revenge and focusing on her being an ally from Rebellion while hiding her identity as a Sith Lord. Eventually, after the fall of the Empire, she joins the New Republic with an objective...

DECRIMINALIZE THE SITH

Tahleea believed that the Sith Creed got a bad reputation because of lots of Rotten Apples and the Jedi influence, and also believed that erasing the Sith history and regarding it as a Darkling Cult was erasure and historical genocide, so she tried using the New Republic to change the views of People about the Sith. However, it didnt ended well as even Mon Mothma, her friend, did not liked the sith neither saw the good side on preserving their history. So Tahleea decided to leave to the Outer Rim and as her ancestors did, not care about how route the Galaxy would go.

However before Tahleea left, she had a romance with a Senator from Dantooine named Yensin Tiralli, where their forbidden love generated the main character of this fanfic...

Aliana Beniko.

3-Today's Subject: Slavery

After Aliana was born, Tahleea realized that she needed money to raise her daughter well, so she went after a job. In Outer Rim you must be wary of what kind of job you want, specially if you want to be paid well. So the job she chose?

Slave Trafficking for the Hutt Cartels.

Yes, you read it right. Tahleea Beniko was a Slave Trafficker, but not the kind of capturing and enslaving ones. No no no she was just the one who drove the ship and took them to their places. Its not that bad, right?

That was a Lily excuse about People calling her out about it. But lets continue for the worst part about it.

Her job really paid her well, even if she disliked it and hated herself for doing what she did. However one day she "Lost" a slave in Jakku. A small Child who was sold by her parents.

Yes, in this fanfic that one ship we see in Rey's flashbacks is actually The Fury, the Ship used by The Beniko clan for at least 3.000 years, and is the one who left her in Jakku. How can a relic from such a far past still works? I dont know. But the fic sells it as being better than the Milenium Falcon anyways.

Detail is that Rey in the fic remembers feeling comfortable inside The Fury because of Aliana being there with her. And its because when she was sold and taken to The Fury she was ugly crying until Aliana comforted her. So the fic literally goes "awww you already knew eachother as children, you were made to be together". GAL, you were trafficking her.

Also Rey is implied as being the only one Tahleea left behind, wich means there were lots of People who got trafficked and no one saved them, while she was filling her pockets with dirty money. But the excuse its heard much is this.

"She needed to take care of her daughter."

Well, she took care of her. Until the Curse decided to act...

And a Skywalker ended their peace.

Thats it for now, part 3 is on its making and will focus more on the fic itself instead of its lore as its the route im going with this resumes.

Bye bye

SO, I SAW SOME PEOPLE TRYING TO READ THE SITH RESURGENCE FIC...

And i decided to help giving a resume about Aliana Beniko and the Beniko Clan for yall.

This is Part 1

So, in 2018, Lily talked about doing a star wars fanfic with a "Light Side Sith" character named Aliana Beniko, the only part about her changed being the fact that now she is full Dark Side Sith.

Aliana Beniko is the main character of Lily fantiction, and not only that but its her favourite oc, which is also one of the most disliked ocs for Star Wars fans.

As someone who read the 48 chapters of the Sith resurgence fanfic, and learned about the Lore of it, i will give to you a resume of the entire Beniko History

Lets begin with the past.

1-DARTH CAÍDA AND THE OLD REPUBLIC

The history of Aliana status even before she was born. In the Old Republic games its normal that players become the figure of Hero of Tython, an event of the game where you stop a warmongering Sith Lord on its mission to destroy the Galaxy. But what happens in this fic is basically that Lily character in the game is this said hero but not only that, she also marries one of the game main characters, a Sith named Lana Beniko. After the events of the Eternal War, a moment where both Jedi and Sith worked together to defeat the Eternal Empire, they decided to stay away from The drama and marry on another Planet. About Lily Character, her name is Darth Caída, wich means The Fallen Darth, because before becoming a Sith Lord she was a Jedi Knight.

After marrying eachother, both of them decided to form themselves an order of Sith called The Beniko Order. This would be a 100% female Group of Sith, where the members would be not united by blood, but other bonds. In another words, almost no one on this clan is blood related, but instead was adopted, was an apprentice or married a member of it. The clan also went into a more personal route, not focusing on becoming The strongest or The most Powerful Sith, but instead praising The love of a family and the low life.

This Sith Order stayed low for all of their lives, until the fall of the Sith Empire. So it happened the Rule of Two.

2-Darth Valee Beniko and Darth Bane

Darth Valee Beniko is a character that its only more mentioned in the Wikia than in the own fanfic, but its The one who built The ideals of the Order of Beniko after Darth Bane killed all the Sith and instated The Rule of Two. As i cant resume much without giving examples, there are some prints on both her vision of it and how the Beniko Order goes about certain themes

Yeah you read it right. Valee Beniko basically went the route of "Toxic Masculinity ruined the Sith". But after that nothing much is revealed about the Beniko clan, especially other members besides a very few ammount of them.

Like most of the Sith, the Beniko clan stayed in hiding. However, they didnt had easy lives, not only because of the Sith, but also because of a thing. A thing lily added to spite both the fans of Star Wars and the entire Star wars lore around.

A thing called "The Curse".

3-The Force hates them

Lily know that People dont like her oc, and specially her opinions about Star wars and the Force. Mostly of her opinions come from The game Knights of Old Republic 2, where we learn about the Nihilistic vision of the Force of Darth Thraya, who instead of seeing the Force as a mystical energy or a hidden power, sees it as an entity with will and preferences, who hates those who dont rely or worship them.

In this fic, The Force is treated as an evil entity who hates Dark Side users because they dont follow its will and even enslave it. Their hatred is more followed towards the Beniko Family, who follows a different path from other Sith, taking their powers from Passion instead of hate or fear, and being more focused on self-reflection than trying to be more powerful on the Force. Because of that, the Force kills them on purpose, putting dangers on their way to get rid of them. However, as this is a Lily fic we are talking about, The Force gets defeated by the ultimate powers of Mary Sueness of Aliana Beniko, but this is information for the next part.

Hope that i helped a bit, i will do part 2 soon enough

Bye bye

I can do worse

My fanfic where her Empire falls is even better the Sith Resurgence cânon

Lily Orchard, if you're reading this: The Last Jedi is 1000000x better then your crappy fanfiction The Sith Resurgence. Rose Tico is far, far greater character then your fascist Sith waifu Darth Amorosa. Heck, even Astarion, N and Hunter combined are superior to Darth Amorosa.

Syir is a monster who lily made overpowered ON PURPOSE. MOTHERFUCKER DONT GET KARMA FOR ABUSING HER OWNER AND KILLED HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE AND POKEMON!

Even more messed up plot points about poke madhouse:

On one hand Pokemons are basically slaves, which makes the will they won't they between g and lily super uncomfortable but actually there is more!

Another Gardevoir, syr (?), is described as 'g if she gave in to her desires' and she forced her trainer into an extremely abusive 'relationship', to the point where said trainer ran away and begged clily for help. Which clily denied for convoluted reasons... It's implied that people know this is going on but syr is too powerful to even bother stopping.

So yes, g is functionally a slave, but also technically clily is in real danger because of her. It's all so messed up...

I love glamorizing abuse and having my characters wish they could partake in it

YES! FINALLY SOMEONE TALKING ABOUT SYIR, THAT MONSTER LILY MADE

responding to anon talking abt syir (diantha’s gardevoir): lily presents syir as a sort of “evil counterpart to g” and “everything she’s afraid of becoming” because she forced diantha into a relationship and abuses her, but this falls flat in my opinion because g is still just as bad as syir in many regards.

g forced a mating bond on comic!lily without her knowledge and in a state where she couldn’t consent (and would get comic!lily in serious legal trouble if anyone found out), is violently possessive over comic!lily to the point of threatening her friends and partners, saw a ralts bonding with comic!lily as a threat to their relationship and nearly attacked her despite acknowledging that ralts are children for her species, created a baby without comic!lily’s consent, “forcibly silenced” anyone who found out about her and comic!lily’s mating bond, and has physically assaulted/threatened comic!lily multiple times.

(side note: syir and diantha never properly appeared in the comic, only being discussed in a since-deleted set of articles on the poke-madhouse wiki. but at one point when the character lacey beaulieu questions comic!lily about her relationship with g, comic!lily gets indignant and insists she hasn’t “pulled a diantha”— implying it’s diantha’s fault that she’s trapped in an abusive relationship with a creature who holds full physical/psychic power over her. and that’s really fucked up.)

That's a ridiculously dark set of headcannon, especially since Diantha is doing alright in the games.
