Royalty is turning Will into Action, regardless of what other people say is possible or not. It is the ultimate form of daredevil hooliganism. A godly Hold My Beer. My favorite part of the art in these last updates is Mottom just straight turning into a corpse, instead of rapidly aging. She is so, so dead.

What I mean is that while one can be ignorant of what is possible and impossible for a little bit, you can't keep it up. like how the one guy hesitated when facing Aesma, he couldn't keep up the stupid. Since its so easy to know enough to gently caress you up, or just not be in the right mood, you have to go around the bend and become so smart you can reliably act like an idiot/simulate an idiots failure to realize some things aren't possible by realizing in your heart that they are not only possible, but banal to do. idiots only achieve royalty on accident for fleeting moments, the truly smart can manage it for like, a bajillion years thechosenone fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Oct 2, 2016 |

Also remember Aesma was so stupid she eventually self-immolated. Also consider: why do we assume that being Yisun's favorite disciple is a good thing?

Hansa was Yisun's previous favourite disciple, was Royalty, and was definitely not an idiot.

I feel like there must be a fair number of people in the KSBD universe who tried to imitate this while missing the first part and just loving died, because even here, just being an idiot doesn't make you magic.  Because, as you say, the state that allows people to do insane poo poo in KSBD isn't actually idiocy, it's something else that's indistinguishable from idiocy when looked at from an overly narrow perspective.

Aesma may have been a fool, but she was a fool who could split into a dozen godly war forms, rain fire from the sky, and pick up the universe to hit someone with it.

Royalty is the power to cut infinity with the blade of Want. I've always taken this to mean that it is the will to carve up the possibilities of the infinite and shape them into something definite. Violence is certainly an expression of that, and similarly a Key of Kings gives you a channel to impose one's will on the world. In my mind, the difference between the demiurges and Allison / Zoss is that the demiurges approached enlightenment in order to win something, to be victorious, while Zoss and Allison would choose victory but never cling to it, instantly moving forth to shape newer and grander things. To cling, after all, is to stop, and Royalty is a continuous cutting motion.

TBH I'd guess all this royalty business isn't as much a coherent philosophy the author is trying to articulate through is fight-ladies web comic as it is some cold-blooded poo poo for his characters to say to a motherfucker before dropping white fire on them.

I take the opposite view that it's clearly inspired by Buddhist concepts of enlightenment mixed with Elder Scrolls mythology. I feel it could actually be very clearly explained in a mechanical sense--just swap the "mindfulness" of Buddhism with imposing your will on reality with every waking moment.
