i love those blinking red lights they put on top of radio towers and windmills and skyscrapers etc, theyre like electronic flowers or something to me

to go even further, im not sure that "the brain without sensory input" is right either. im not sure that there *is* a brain, while you are in the pale. maybe you are dissolved into concepts, just a memory that remembers its own self. and with the aid of some techniques, you are simply re-embodied in a different place where the pale meets material reality. and the effects of the pale on cognition are a sort of conceptual cross-radiation, where other things become part of this idea of yourself, and as you are re-embodied, you still carry them with you

quick question to the lore masters: is the pale white or black? the paledriver says it's like looking into the ocean at night when harry asks how it looks. but it's called pale lol and in some canon artwork i saw it look like white clouds. i suppose realistically, the light should not be able to penetrate it at some point right? and if it's the opposite to things existing it makes more sense it's a literal hole in the world so should look pitch black?

from another perspective, they're in another triple romance involving two men and a woman, of which there are like four in the whole series? solit and salm are explicitly lovers, autr and sahaule im not sure about, and lindon and svir are too, if we are counting lindon/svir/lindon's wife as one of those. just as a matter of parallels, i think it makes sense to at least consider the possibility?

i don't seriously ship hesychast and itinerant but its genuinely undeniable that my personal reading is that the believability of their feud comes from how their proximity is bordering, if not outright an example of, homoeroticism. the thick seam of hatred comes from the fact they're both bound inextricably with each other by circumstance and ideology, both agents of empire differing only in perspective but alike in aim. they're complementary in their discordance and share this complete refusal to acknowledge this as reality, engage in this charade of opposition because its continuance is the only way they can meaningfully diverge from the masquerade. do you understand. they cannot admit their camaraderie because its the only way to remain discrete, they cannot take comfort in each other despite being bedfellows in secrecy because to do so would be to be swallowed by their own cause. they have to define each other, have to perform animosity, because it's the only way to define their self

enough flat earth theory, its time for flat earth praxis

i think we shouod terraform earth to make it completely flat because itd be fun

its also a point that you have to try to miss very deliberately, given that the game straight-up presents things that look like "character creation" or a "multiple-choice past" to you only so that it can destroy that possibility and tell you that no, you are not creating a character, harry is a guy who already exists in his entirety, you are only picking his reactions to certain things in the present. like the rest of his character already exists but his sexuality is suddenly up to the player for some reason?

tbh i really dislike how people say that harry can be queer, that depending on how he’s played or what the player chooses to do he has the capability to be queer. the implication being that his queerness is not something that is inherent to his character. it, in essence, feels like such a denial of the fact that he is bisexual. because whether you choose for harry to acknowledge it or not, he still remains bisexual. while, yes, his attraction to women is rather hard to miss, examples of his male attraction are present all throughout the game, many of them appearing without any additional player input. it’s just not something about his character that can so easily waved off or plainly ignored. regardless of him being in denial of it, it will always remain that harry is attracted to both women and men. like he’s bisexual. harry is bisexual. he is a bisexual man
