thank you for joining me, either today or 5 years ago. here's to 500 more years 🥂
So like, escapism being an inperfect coping mechanism, whatever, Isn’t it crazy that we can construct whole worlds in our head? Like, yeah those are my guys. Yeah they exist only in my head, but they are wholly real and have lives of their own. No they don’t know who I am. Yes I would die for them.
I can open up a comic, or a book, or a show, any story really, and bam, another world. One that feels just as real as ours, yet only exists in the minds of those who read the story. They don’t actually exist in the real world, no matter how much it feels like they do.
It’s crazy man.
"There are no principles a mortal can hold fast in the face of eternal, unending hunger" and it's over a panel of Falst and Dainix??
Falst's mom attacking him "it wasn't her anymore;" Dainix holding fast the ideal of hunting monsters to protect people- it being the only thing he could hold on to in the arena; "I can keep you safe! But I can't do anything if you don't shake off the Void;" "To the Dragon, hunger is fundamentally selfish... it doesn't even know what it's so desperate to have... when you hold the essence of hunger, stripped of pretense and pride- I wonder if you'll recognize the feeling;" "...you did it"
sorry I was rereading and saw this and got excited. These two guys have seen and felt principles and ideals destroyed in the face of the insatiable hunger of void corruption. And yet.
Look I think there's a short essay I could write here but currently all I've got is my brain going, "IT'S ABOUT DESIRE" and screaming.
kind of unrelated but I think it's also neat that Kendal and Alinua are with "you will break and then he will use you to break the world" as that also feels related to the chimeric plague and what the collector hopes to achieve by unraveling Vash's soul. I don't have a good connection with Tess so you get these two sentences instead of a post about that.
“do you know where you’ll be headed in 5 years?” no. but i do know about themes and motifs. and friendship. and putting garlic on everything
