I Call This One

Falst: We all have our demons

Falst, grabbing Dainix: This one's mine.

Getting obsessed with a new fictional freak like “I’m diversifying my Blorbfolio”

submission from squirrelwriter:

Following up on others’ ideas: if void is inexorably linked to hunger, and the material of hunger is desire, then is light inexorably linked to will and thus also fundamentally a form of desire? Both times Falst accidentally tapped into light powers (at least, sure seems like it), he was tremendously determined to accomplish something: first to save Dainix, then to break free of the diadem. In other words, he had a tremendous will.

Will has several definitions in my dictionary, including firmness of purpose, drive, and desire. It’s also tied to decision-making. Willpower is the determination and control to see a purpose through. In other words, will is conscious or decided-upon desire, while hunger is instinctive or viscerally felt desire… and will cannot exist without want.

If light and void are will and hunger, and will and hunger are both facets of desire, then that would explain why those elements transmute into each other so readily, wouldn’t it? And it strengthens the connection between the Light Dragon and the Void Dragon thematically, which lines up with how they seem to be paired in the narrative so far. This would make them two sides of the same coin.I also thought it was interesting that Tahraim didn’t specifically say “Light Dragon” or “Void Dragon,” just “Dragon.” Kinda made me uncertain of which one he was talking about or if he was talking about both as one entity… Hm.

Anyway, I hadn’t thought so hard about will and hunger and desire before reading today’s page, and now I feel like I have a deeper understanding of all of them, so that’s very cool. Have a nice day!

sorry your boyfriend split his soul in half. yeah he was trying to isolate the “evil” in him so he could be wholly good. no yeah it doesn’t work like that so he’s just punishing the part of himself that cares. btw we just saw into his mind and the personification of his own repression has your face. just thought you should know

me when the character has a uniquely fucked mindset. me when the character's fundamental views of how the world works lead to them being hurt and/or hurting others and not seeing the problem with this. me when the character is a little freak who does weird shit because their beliefs, inspired entirely by their environment, are fuckeddddd
